“You can have any academic qualification in the world, but that can only get you so far. To this day, I’m confused and just don’t understand why they wouldn’t have appointed Kevvie Walters as their head coach. “

“But I didn’t know there would be so many agendas involved. If we had won more Footy games, we would have controlled the narrative to some extent, but it was there before I even walked through the door. People will say I whistle … Was I treated fairly? Probably not. But that will be discussed at another time.
“That’s not an excuse for the scoreboard. We didn’t win any games. That’s why I raise my hand.
“As for this campaign, the hysteria around me, people have told me that has changed. People must be sick of reading about me. I haven’t started training for it. “
