Neil, every player that ran out on the ground, you know, it's his shit house.
He can't pick with his left foot.
He's no good.
He can't handball.
And I said to him, I said, Neil, I hate to tell you this, but we've actually got to fill the side next Saturday.
But he was determined.
He got so much out of that team.
I don't think it's any secret that I know James McDonald is
would tell anybody that he got that team to play well above its expectations.
He was just extraordinary at getting the best out of people, tough to look people in the eye.
He certainly wasn't a bloke in cross.
I did have one incident with him.
We were up in Sydney playing the Swans and Stephen Phoebe was getting to the end of his career and
We were a pretty good side.
We were in front.
Steve and Phoebe had kicked three or four goals.
I had to be sitting in the coach's box.
And Neil gets on the phone just before three-quarter time and said, get Phoebe off.
And I've grunted.
Then he turned to me and he said, do you want a bloody coach, Bill?
