They just had to talk him into it. <br><br>Episode features: <br>Kevin Sheedy, inaugural GIANTS head coach <br>Mark Williams, inaugural GIANTS senior assistant coach <br>Andrew Demetriou, former AFL chief executive officer<br>Dale Holmes, original GIANTS chief executive officer<br>David Matthews, current GIANTS chief executive officer</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
