That's what they do and they want the fans there to support them.

It's been there the last couple of years when we're winning and it'll be there again.

Yeah, I understand too.

I'm not here not to represent me, even though you've grilled me on everything that you wanted to talk about.

But I'm not here to represent me or make excuses for me or what have you.

I'm here to represent the hardworking people of our club.

Yeah.

The administration, everyone who works in our club, everyone who feels the pressure of what our club goes through when you go through a period like that.

To help explain to the fans that it's a united club.

They're still working very hard at what they're doing.

And in no way, shape or form is there any give up in the Bulldogs whatsoever.

And we'll win again.

I can guarantee we'll win again.

But that's the people I'm here representing today.

I'm not coming here to make excuses for myself or to justify my role or to justify what I do or justify decisions that we've made.

I'm here to support the people that work in our club, that work hard, that don't like the headlines, they don't like the abuse, they don't like the social media abuse, they don't like the kickback from fans, they don't like things that are said about our players and they don't like the criticism they get.

So someone's got to speak up and say, all right, I'll go and front the music for you.

Yeah.

But, you know, you've been there.

You've seen it yourself.
