I just caught the last few minutes. Dean said that if he had known then what he knows now, he would have waited longer to take a senior coaching job - it's hard when the opportunity is available to be one of the small number of senior AFL coaches, but he would have been a better coach with more experience.
Then he answered Robbo's questions about the time the fan committed suicide after speaking to him (he didn't walk down the path to and from the ground for years afterwards), the impact of football on his family (I didn't realise his marriage had broken up - he said he tried his best to give the kids time but it does have an effect) and the big family punch up in Bali.
Before closing he told them all that he still hadn't been asked about the Carey game, the McCartney game or lots of other stories, so they said they needed to get him back.
Did anyone else hear the earlier part? Or are we all avoiding the radio today?
Btw when Robbo was asking about the family, he said lots of coaches including Sheedy had said they hadn't been good fathers - then stopped to say he couldn't remember if these were interviews or private conversations, so he hoped it was ok to talk about. They laughed, but he is such a poor excuse for a journalist.
