Yeah, I think it'll be great.

So we'll do that.

We're going to get a break away and then we'll do that.

But just very quickly, and I asked you this beforehand, so I'm not putting you on the spot.

Having been there and seen it and understand what's taken place and the amount of change that's taken place, I don't want you to name a coach, but the sort of coach you think that this football club needs going forward.

Because the options are those that have been there before, and we know the names, the Longmys, the Hinckleys, the Simpsons and Buckley, all those sorts.

The first-yearers?

success for McRae and Fagan and King and Cox relatively, or the absolutely untried, the names out there which will be bandied around for the next 10 weeks, which just without naming anyone, which sort of path would you go down?

Can I throw one other one in there because Gerard Healy did this, the Paul Ruse type coach as well.

But what I would say, and I've been down this path, this journey with Alistair Clarkson, when we started together at Hawthorne, I've seen so many changes over so many years and I just can't go past the young energy of an untried coach who's been in the system a long time.

Because a lot of these guys have been around football a long time, even though they're untried.

Mm-hmm.

They've been in the system a long time.

They understand the system.

They've been in lots of different environments, you know?

So the, oh, it's been in three or four different clubs, player knows what success looks like, been under great coaches themselves.
