Tim Watson

He certainly was.

Yeah, he was.

What sort of an impact did he have in those early formative years?

I remember...

Going up to Tim when he finished up coaching with the Saints and I did thank him for the impact that he had and he's like, oh, I'm not sure I had too much of an impact, but he did.

I have too much of an idea when you arrive to the club of what AFL footy was all about.

Tim certainly taught me a lot.

And what was it about Lenny that caught your eye, Whisker?

He was a cracker, Gary.

I don't want to embarrass Lenny, but the first time we had a time trial, I don't know whether Lenny will remember this or not, but we were all there sitting there watching.

He just ran his guts out, he did.

And I thought, there's something about this young man.

He's got a little bit of character in him, and he's got a great desire.

He always had a great desire to be great.

You still enjoying your time in footy, Lenny?

Yeah, I'm really lucky to be still involved in the game and, yeah, now in the GM role at the same.

Yeah, very fortunate to be in that role and really enjoying it.

What does a GM of football do?

Like, what is your actual day-to-day work involved?

So yeah, it's been enjoyable.
