You probably tiptoed into a rather large debate there.

Let me invite you into another debate.

Should we have played overtime on Thursday night?

Yeah, so we have three minutes either way in the finals and on grand final day, and we would do that over and over until we got a winner.

In rugby league, they play golden points, so next score wins.

Do you like that or no?

I'm not a personal advocate for that.

I like the three minutes either way.

Anyway, I've walked you into a debate there.

Tell me, you did the Sporting Globe the other night, so you've had face-to-face with the passion for the NFL in this country.

What impression has it left you with?

Oh, I'm glad I asked.

Sorry, I've got a little bit more work to do.

Oh, you can't.

And that plays to your demeanour and the way that you played your career.

So I don't know whether I even want to ask a follow-up.

I feel like we got the whole lot.

We're hurtling along in the Carlton story to the point where people are saying Cripps is finished and got to get him out at the end of the year.

I just wanted to get your perspective on that.

So I've stood on your set.
