And if Darcy Wilson wants to be paid like Filippo is going to be paid, then...

I think...

Brad Scott was right in what he said on air on Tuesday night that his preference was to allow Merritt to go.

But I don't think he was so ardently against him staying that he was on an island.

This was a president's decision to keep...

to keep Zach Merritt and put, I think to use a quote that Andrew Welsh used, put the flag in the ground.

Kevin Sheedy.

Kevin Sheedy.

If he says, okay, James, we're up for you to be part of a process, how they handle it from there is really important as well from allowing other assistants and other coaches in.

So the next move is critical for the future of Welsh's legacy, really.

So he bit his tongue when he was asked about the potential relationship between Sam Flanders' Achilles injury.

Sam Flanders is out for the rest of the year.

Just on that, is there any level of guilt at all on that?

Like the fact that you've been able to turn it around so quickly just off the back of that big decision and that was to move on from Vossi, that the senior players are now performing to their capabilities?

Good honesty.

Thank you for that.

Is it a good job to get?

From the outside, you go, well, it's been a bit of a mess for a while.

A lot of coaches have moved on and it's been hard to have success as well as the pressure that comes with being the Carlton coach.
