A couple of other things:
When asked what kind of players we'd be looking to recruit, he said outside mids because of the pace of the game. He'd already given our inside mids a huge rap.
Gerard asked him if he'd changed his mind on Tuck through the course of the season as it looked like his papers were stamped. He suggested they never were, he'd just been told very early in the season to go back and work on his defensive aspects. Same as McMahon. He did say that McMahon played a better game last weekend.
On Simmonds, he said that he'd been working with Jayden Post on his weights training. Just stuff like that makes him a great club man, loved around the place, and deserves a farewell game.
Hird asked him where we want to be in terms of success in 3 years time. He acknowledged that was a tough question that caught him off guard. But then he said that he was just looking to get 50-60 games into all our under 22 year olds.
