Buckley's weekly interview with Gerard Whateley in 2018

[K]

This is Barrett, not Whateley (but Nicksters hate both equally, anyway). And this is 2019, not 2018. It is Buckley, and it is a podcast (25min), though:

I was quite surprised by the respectful questioning of Barrett. Usually, he's going all out to make a sensational headline, one way or another. Bucks was thoughtful, honest, wise and calm - as always.

One factor that struck me through this interview (and Brodie Grundy alluded to this too on SEN) was the speed at which everyone dispersed after the loss in the GF. No sitting around at the club, brooding over it. Everyone quickly went into holiday mode and used the new and fresh environments to help salve their wounds. I wonder if this may benefit the mental mind-set of players and coaches for the upcoming season?
