Watching his presser now and I reckon most here are being hard on him because generally he's been such a wanker. He gave us full credit, there was some underlying saltiness but it was directed at journalists who he clearly doesn't respect much, like other coaches. It adds weight to the idea that he might be so salty during the year to take public pressure off his players.
Yeah, the bloke can't help it if he's got the personality of a cranky old man.
His demeanour doesn't help. What he actually said was ok, but he's clearly not a happy person.
I think some of it is to help shield the players but I'm not sure if it works. Some of his selection and positional decisions are bizarre, I wonder how guys like Blicavs and Stewart feel about him.
