00:00one of your best weeks the whole season because you've had a chance to play.
00:04Because we haven't had a game.
00:05You haven't had a game, yeah.
00:06And we haven't lost.
00:08It's been a decent week, yeah.
00:10Fair to say.
00:11I wasn't going to mention the losing.
00:12That's all right.
00:13But in all seriousness, do you feel like your old self again?
00:17Because there have been times in the last few weeks whereby...
00:20I've been grumpy.
00:21You've been a little bit grumpy, yeah.
00:23Fair enough, too.
00:24Yeah, fair enough.
00:26I've had to do this three times a week, sometimes on zero sleep.
00:31Cut me a little bit of slack.
00:33I mean, you know, I can't be bubbly and cheery all the time.
00:37No, look, fair to say, I appreciated the fact there wasn't a game this week.
00:43Yeah, for sure.
00:44I mean, I had dinner with my family last night.
00:46My boy said, seems like you haven't had a game for a while, Dad.
00:49You know, it's only been four days.
00:50But that's the cycle we've all been in.
00:53Not just me, the other coaches.
00:56It's certainly, you know, when you're going at it all the time,
01:00you do get into this cycle where it does become a bit of a grind,
01:05but you know you have to do it.
01:06There's no alternative.
01:07I can't not do things that I'm responsible for.
01:10So having the opportunity of, like I said, even this,
01:14not having to front up, you know, two or three times
01:16and kind of answer the same kinds of questions
01:19allows you to sort of just take a breath
01:22and yeah, hopefully I'm back to whatever I was before.
01:27You do feel like a new man?
01:29I'm the same man.
01:31I feel like the same man I've always been.
01:33And, you know, I'm sure that grumpiness will emerge at the appropriate time.
