Coaching certainly did in Sydney.
voice-verified
Why did that appeal to you?
voice-verified
The wins and losses.
voice-verified
And strangely enough, the losses as much as the wins.
voice-verified
It's really interesting when you sort of look back, the losses draw you in, that feeling of getting up on a Sunday and getting to work after a loss can draw you in and be just as addictive, I guess, as in many ways the wins.

Well, we'd sort of talked about it with, um, with Andrew Island and, and, and, uh, Richard at some point earlier, but that was sort of put to the background a bit, but yeah, I had an opportunity to go to, to fly to Melbourne and, uh, interview for the North Melbourne job and, uh,
voice-verified
And Ruzi walked into my office on the Wednesday morning and said, I'm out at the end of 2010.
voice-verified
And things changed pretty quickly there.
voice-verified
I had a meeting with Andrew and Richard, and they really put it on me.
voice-verified
What do you want to do, John?
voice-verified
And I had about five seconds to make my mind up, and it was I want to coach in Sydney.
voice-verified
And I didn't get to talk to my wife until about 20 minutes before the press conference.
voice-verified
What did she say?
voice-verified
She thought I was in Melbourne interviewing for the North Melbourne job.
voice-verified
She was shocked.
voice-verified
But I'm glad I got to her because I tried to ring her about 40 times and I thought the first thing she would have seen was me on the television saying I was coach of Sydney.
voice-verified
She would have got a horrible shock.
voice-verified
It was a bit of both.
voice-verified
I had some things that I'd developed over the years, both as a player but also under Roosie as an assistant coach.
voice-verified
But then I made some changes and made some subtle changes on the way through as well.
