So when a family, the grief situation that Adelaide have gone through, that is all tools down.

We are going into care mode for a few days and the footy would backseat.

And that is, from a leadership point of view, it's really important you bring the right people in.

So your CEO, your GM, the coach, and then you pivot to, hey, we need our integrity officer to investigate this or we need our...

chaplain to intervene, or we need our doctor to intervene, or a psych, or our media manager needs to be part of this crisis meeting.

So there's all these types of triggers you've got to pull.

And you're a coach, so are you skilled enough, and you learn as you go, you learn on the job, to deal with a crisis and COVID, that's a huge one, how you deal with all that.

That's probably the biggest of them all, which I learn a lot from.

So

Yeah, a lot to deal with at a footy club and then you get to Thursday night and you're there to win.

So you've got to get back on the bike at some stage.

And what's your overriding memory of the gaffe aftermath?

Well, I went down to the bench and I said to him, mate, there's nothing in that.

And he was in shock.

He was literally, he was in shock.

He was pale.

He was shocked.

He was like, I didn't mean it or something.

He was trying to say that.

And I remember I put my arm on his shoulder and said, mate, there's nothing in it.
