( Q ) You played under a number of coaches. How did they influence you?
( A ) They all had different philosophies and gave me something different. Probably the most influential was Brian Smith because he was here for so long and he was the one who really gave me my chance, and made me captain at a young age. He gave me my football education and taught me what’s required physically and mentally to be a first grade footballer. Michael Hagan taught me how to relax away from footie because it can be very consuming. Endacott and Kearney with New Zealand . . . all my coaches taught me things.
Hey Bongo, did you give Caylo the T-shirt? I seen him wearing it at the Oak very very late on sat night but cant remember if i asked him where he got it.
Wow when i first read it i didn't even notice that he missed out on DA's name. The only thing that stood out to me was mentioning that Hagan was teaching him how to relax away from footy LOL that would explain alot for the Hagan era eels. :)

It'd be good if we could keep Cayless involved with the club in some capacity too.
P.S. I also noticed he missed out DA in the coaches part. Interesting.
