Tim Watson

And you did the walk from Fed Square on game day, which I don't think any other coach has done.

I know, you know, pre-game on the weekend, Beck and...

and Lauren were out on the ground, and Jan, you know, Neil's wife and kids, and you made a point of getting over to them.

So how important is it that you set the example, and then how does that sort of manifest itself throughout the group?

Yeah, no, it was.

And so how do you know that people are happy to come to work?

Are there checks and balances or is it just a feel thing or have you got something in place where you can go over once a month?

How do you know?

So Melbourne fans are out of their mind at the moment with the way the team's going.

Their form at the MCG is peerless, haven't dropped a game.

The only little chink is that you haven't travelled that well.

So the games that you've lost are Free Up, Free O, Essendon at Adelaide, Swans at the G and the Giants at Alice.

You get a chance to go and take on a team who are really, really good, Nick.

The Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval.

This is a chance to try and put one on the board away from the G.

When your side is in good nick and, you know, playing really good footy and then you play on the weekend and you introduce two kids or two young fellas, not kids, who had only been at the club for a couple of weeks in Joel Fitzgerald and Lucas Cook, they come into the side.

Well, give us an insight into the thinking behind that.

You know, they both acquitted themselves really well, but from the outside you go, gee, how do you get into a side that's been playing some pretty good footy like that?

And did I see where you spent a bit of time with the New South Wales team with Origin at the G on Wednesday night?

Did you go into camp there?
