Neil Danaher

But this, I kind of love that.

Maybe we can do it.

And if anyone else wants to jump on on May the 25th next year, they can.

Because that is exactly what he was.

No spin, no bullshit.

Cameron Shrob's going to join us.

Cameron was the CEO at Melbourne and he appointed Neil as coach.

And he wrote a beautiful article that I read recently about, and he can share the thoughts, but

He told this story about Anthony McDonald.

I've had my own experiences with his no bullshit attitude, which I think for me came right at the end of my career.

So I was so thankful and grateful.

Had it come at the start, I might have just broken down into a crumbling mess.

He must have given Macca a bit of a straighten up at a post-season meeting.

And he walked out and Cameron saw him and said, how'd you go, Macca?

And Macca said, doesn't leave much dust on the shelf, does he?

Which is just the most beautiful.

He left no dust on no shelf when he wanted you to get a message across at different times.

He was as stern and direct and as brutally honest as any person that has ever walked the planet.

And he had a cold, cold demeanor when he got there.

I'm talking footy here.
