Basil: Ross, Harley Bennell. Would it be fair to say the club got that one wrong?
Ross: No, I don't agree with that at all. If he had've gone on to play 200 games for the Dockers and win 3 Brownlows, we'd all be sitting here saying what a wonderful decision it was to recruit him.
Basil: Ross, Jesse Hogan. Playing him so early after the navicular injury he brought across with him from Melbourne, would it be fair to say the club got that one wrong?
Ross: No, I don't agree with that at all. If he had've gone on to kick 150 goals this year and win the Coleman, we'd all be sitting here saying what a wonderful decision it was to play him.
Basil: Ross, Ross Lyon. The decision for the Fremantle Dockers to effectively grant him a 5 year contract extension, would it be fair to say the club got that one wrong?
Ross: No, I don't agree with that at all. If he had've gone on to win 5 flags in a row and be respectful to the members and stakeholders in the way he conducted himself in the after-match press conferences, we'd all be sitting here saying what a wonderful decision it was to sign him.
Basil: Ok Ross, that's all we've got time for...
Ross: No, I don't agree with that at all. It's only 6:24pm. If you canned the rest of the sports segment and the weather to follow, we'd all be sitting here saying what a wonderful decision it was to extend this interview.
Basil: Ross, thanks, best of luck against Geelong, we'll see you next week.
