* Until you get that scrutiny you don't know what it is like.
* Knew there were two scenarios that could happen this year. Haven't taken things said personally so you get on with the job.
* Upset with the set-up of the doorstep interview. Arrangement promised was broken. He got to work at 6.30am. Ch 9 crew was there. Told them off-air it was business as usual despite the loss. They said can he say that on air which he agreed. They then changed that and chucked in the question.
* He'll coach the year out. Doesn't expect the players to give up on the year so why should he. He also had a disappointing end at the Bulldogs which cut up doggie fans but also himself. Would've done things differently if he had his time over again. But that's life. The one thing is to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
* Believes the players support of him is still strong. Jacko bloody, Rance ending up in hospital, Moore going back on with a shoulder. They are committed. They aren't thinking of the coach when they miss a 30m kick.
* Thought the "dead man walking" headline was disappointing. Not offended but surprised. His grandkids might think he did something worse if they saw that headline in the future.
* Doesn't know where Caro gets her info from. It's not what he's been told. The RFC is paying his wage so he'll do what the RFC wants. If it gets untenible then that's different but the club has been supportive so that's no an issue.
* Hasn't given up on the year. Hasn't giving up on coaching. We still have 5 of our best to come back in returning from injury - Cotch, Browny, Sugar, Raines, .... It's not too late for supporters to stop coming through the gate. It's game on.
* Saw Collingwood get smashed by 80 points. Players out hurt. We have inexperienced players and we were less experienced than the Lions.
* Won't talk about individual players wheres, whys, etc. Happy to talk about the club and team in general.
