Mark Robinson

He hasn't been in the system for 10 years, 11 years.

He hasn't felt the need to put their hand up as publicly as what he did.

Why did he have to do that?

when no one else does we saw bucks do something similar with tazzy i think it looks kane it looks more silly if eddie asked him the question and he goes oh i'll think about it like he dances around it be honest be forthright and see where it gets you and if he doesn't get the job and goes through the process then someone better will i think that's all he said he's not getting the job without going through a process yeah i agree i think we'll blink first tom you've brought it up uh

I think Welsh needs to contact James Heard and work out exactly where Heard sits and how – not the word desperate – how keen he is to go through that full process, the exhaustive process of the next 10 weeks.

Have you changed your mind on this a bit, Cain, since we spoke on that emergency pod last –

Tuesday.

Do you feel like Heard could be a better option than what you thought six days ago?

No.

I'll give you 15 reasons why James Heard is the wrong option for this job.

Do you think Longmire's a good option?

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you think Brad Scott was a good option?

I wasn't against it.

Did you think he was a good option?

I'd have to go back four years and remember what I said.

I remember not being against it.

And just another thing, and this is something that an assistant coach who isn't keen to have the Essendon job pointed out to me.
