The newest member of St Kilda's coaching staff, premiership-winning Lion Oscar McInerney, chats to Saints Media after the first week of pre-season.

🗣️ On making the move to Moorabbin from Brisbane

Oscar: It's been a great couple of weeks. The whole club has been really welcoming, really warm and I've been loving coming in every day.

The game gives you so many opportunities and when this opportunity came up to join the Saints, I couldn't be more excited. To learn from some of the best coaches in the business and to work closely with some rucks that have such exciting potential... It was an opportunity that was very easy to take.

🗣️ On his love for coaching

Oscar: I'm really passionate about seeing young guys achieve what they want to achieve.It's all part of the learning curve as you spend time in the system, the more you can understand how the game works and help others around you.

Now I've got the opportunity to do that from the other side of the fence and that really excites and motivates me going forward.

🗣️ On working with the young ruck brigade

Oscar: We've got into the dungeon with the rucks a couple of times this week. We'll stick to my knitting there, won't be too much hitting short 45's.

It's really good to work really closely with the rucks we've got on the list and we'll keep tinkering away at our craft.
