CONTRARY to popular belief, Ange Postecoglou and I have a healthy respect for each other.

I'm thrilled about his elevation to the role of Socceroos coach.

Changes need to be made in Australian football and Postecoglou's the man to do it.

It's no secret that we didn't always see eye-to-eye during the period he was Brisbane's coach and I was the Roar's captain.
But that's in the past and we've spoken many times since.
Hopefully, in my role as an FFA elite player mentor, I can work with Postecoglou to foster our best young talent.
He knows I'm passionate and that I want to see the game improve. We'll work well with one another.
While his main focus will be the Socceroos, there's no doubt he will cast an eye over the entire national program and ensure it's in good order.
Postecoglou is about the bigger picture in terms of having a wide-ranging impact and leaving a legacy for Australian football.
You can already sense his passion for his new job.
And part of the reason for that is because he's an Aussie, and we're all buying into that.
For probably the first time since Frank Farina's time in charge of the Socceroos, there is a genuine feeling that the team really belongs to us. It's a team we can again take ownership of.
We know for sure that regardless of results, the typical Australian attributes of desire, willingness, and commitment to the cause will be there in spades for all of us to see.
Another good thing about Postecoglou is that he's always striving to improve as a coach, regardless of the success he has tasted in recent years. You can never stop learning.
He knows that as well as anybody.
In terms of the immediate future and next year's World Cup, we know Postecoglou is going to make changes, and players have to accept that.
There needs to be a real understanding from players that they need to be first-team regulars wherever they are plying their trade.
There are no longer any huge advantages or disadvantages about being in one league over another.
The fact is we now only have a few players involved the world's best leagues.
The majority of the Socceroos' 2014 World Cup squad will pick itself because its members will have played 30-plus league games going into the tournament.
That's a must in terms of being match-hardened.
