Well, you know, to me it was never a job, okay?

So I only heard something like that type of person.

I mean, I never, I never went for an interview with, um, the AFL to get the Giants job.

They just said, you're doing it.

We want to go and talk to your wife and see if you can convince her to go up to Sydney and start a job.

I didn't have one interview.

Um, so interviews can be important, but they're not the be all end all.

Um,

I had...

Kevin Moss, you know, some of the best coaches, Bob and Thompson, Mark Harvey, Dean Wallace.

Dean Wallace is one of the best coaches I've ever recognised.

So I had that many good coaches that helped me that went, oh, Dennis Plagan.

So you've got to go and find the best people to help you.

I think you're right.

I won't do anything.

All I'm asking...

He used to listen to me and say, well, you rang me to ask for an interview and I'm just giving it to you.

I'm not out there canvassing for anybody.

I mean, I actually went and asked everybody I could how to find out to be a reasonably good coach.

That's what you have to do.
