Gerard Healy explains why he knocked back Carlton approach

Gerard Healy has confirmed reports he was approached by Carlton to help find the club’s next coach.

But he says he knocked it back because he’d already reached the conclusion it would be Ross Lyon.

“I don’t think you can go into a process if you’ve already made up your mind,” he said.

The Sportsday co-host said he did want to comment further about the approach, which found its way into the media.

“It was a private conversation, so I’ll keep it private,” he said.
