It's not the coach's fault because he actually had this plan as his best interest, whereas the club wanted to make sure that they kept their man despite and despite everything else.

So I found that fascinating.

Scotty ends up being the one who falls on the sword.

but it's multi-layered.

But strategy-wise, would it not have been from what they're saying, if they were true to their word, that going to the draft and getting younger players in, this was the perfect opportunity?

But if he goes at the end of this year now, is that not just kicking the can down the road?

Could have gone into the draft, had five kids, exposed the couple, known a bit more about them.

You know what Zach's going to bring.

It was a philosophy though.

Well, even the way it was worded, though, he said to find the best person for the job.

So that wasn't the best coach.

per se, a difference in wording.

I can pick up on that, but that's not a bad point.

But I agree with you because, and this is not me saying that James Hurd shouldn't coach, as we touched on before.

Everyone deserves a second chance if this is what he wants to do.

But if you've been out of the game for as long as he had, assistant at GWS for a little bit, doing some work with Port Melbourne now,

There's no way that stacks up against some of the names that are bandied around who've been in clubs for four or five longer periods of times as assistant coaches in different roles, jumped around from different AFL clubs and learning the modern game and how it is played.

You cannot stack those up against each other.

And for that reason, I reckon if you are going to consider it, if I was to put my name in the ring, say, you wouldn't be doing it because 50-50 doesn't seem right.

Yeah.
