Without a shadow of doubt GiC, without a shadow of doubt!
As much as I despise the sniper, he and his assistants have instilled a culture of toughness and ruthlessness into the playing group. That happened before they enjoyed premiership success and is a significant contributor to their success.
Our list is capable of much more than they are currently delivering and being harder is just one area.
Remember Yarran's comments about the first pre-season under Malthouse; he was pleased that they weren't doing full blown tackling in training because someone might get hurt?
Cannot disagree with you more on this. This group (barring Judd, White, Simpson and some of the newbies I haven't seen play yet) refuses to engage in physical contact and is as soft as butter. Jesus Christ couldn't get them to be tough and ruthless don't care what anyone says. I have seen enough in the last 4-5 years to tell me this mob just doesn't cut it in the hard/ruthless stakes. Middle of the road team at best.
