"No, they felt like they needed to give me feedback, so I thought I’d get close enough for them to make sure they were heard," Postecoglou said.
"Hopefully after 18 months, you [the media] have realised that I am who I am. I don’t really care.
"Whether people think I’m an easy target, soft target. I’m not going to shy away from it. I’ve fought my whole life and I’m not going to race down the tunnel because some people feel like they need to give me some direction. It doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t.
"From my perspective, what motivates me and what drives me on a daily basis is to continually stay true to my values and what I believe is the right thing to do in every situation. Maybe people thought it wasn’t the right thing to do. My wife certainly didn’t.
"So I got some feedback there as well. But that’s okay. I’m not going to change. It’s who I am, mate. I’ve been like that my whole career and I won’t change.”
