I think it came via Crunch Time and this was his response.

Obviously, I don't know how I got dragged into that at all, but I did text Kane today and let him know that I wasn't happy.

To Tom Morris and to Cain Corns who put that out there, that's factually incorrect.

I can't be any stronger than that because I've never, ever delved into meeting with anyone from the Essendon Football Club to pitch for anybody.

So that is factually incorrect.

There's lots of stuff get thrown around here.

This is where we're at, you know.

Oh, he must be doing this and he must be part of this party, he must be part of that.

Well, that's okay until someone's got their own platform to respond, as Matthew has in that occasion.

And you're a mouthpiece for Paul Little.

Do you want to respond to that?

As John Gardner just accused you of being.

I'm not a mouthpiece for anybody.

And I can't be any more clearer than saying what I did from day one.

I want the best person.

possible that we can find through an interview process to be the next coach of Essendon.

That's what I believe to be the best way for the Essendon Football Club to move forward.

And you can only do that after you gather all the best people you possibly can to interview and have a conversation with.

And if you need to have it privately, if Kenny and others don't want to go through the process, I mean, you can still pick up the phone and have a conversation with these people privately.

I'm sure they'll take the call.
