James Heard walks in and the whole joint will lift.

Yeah, but that's like a sugar hit.

You've got to have more than just that.

No, of course it will.

Of course it needs to be much more than that.

But then you've also got on the other side of that argument of yours is what's happened at Melbourne.

When you go and get somebody like Stephen King.

who is an untried coach effectively, is somebody that probably, well, doesn't have the same aura about him from the outside, never displayed that during his career, never displayed that during his assistant coaching career, wasn't the name on anybody's lips, and look what he's been able to do in a short space of time.

No, I agree with that.

So there could be another person like that out there, and you will only uncover that person if you run a process.

Yeah.

With the Melbourne stuff, they did have a premiership five years ago.

So they had their fill with this coach, and then he left, and then they were ready to embrace another one.

So your club hasn't won a final for 20-odd years.

I think they're downtrodden.

They've been down.

I know there's that, but there's...

I know there's more to it than this.

No, but with that comes that whole belief that it's just about a Messiah.

You bring somebody in, it fixes everything.
