Let's get to Tassie.

A Richmond home game, which is, it sounds remarkable in theory, but of course, no Marvel Stadium home game anymore.

So they're going to take on a pretty good team this afternoon in Tassie.

We're in the home jumper and Chris Newman, the assistant coach, joins us now.

Hello to you, mate.

Welcome back to SEN.

It does sound a bit weird in isolation, home game in Tassie.

How have you found the weekend?

When you have such a young list, when you have these younger kids who are trying to learn the game both on the football oval and outside of it and the history of the club, how much do you lean into the Tasmanian connection over the years for this wonderful club?

Do you educate these kids on it?

By coming a good time, do you think, last week?

Hey, we've seen mid-season draftees come in and automatically help their teams.

You get one today.

He's a big boy.

Just on that, you've been around for a little while as a player now, as a coach.

Are you surprised that these players are able to come in middle of the year, not have many training sessions, not know a great deal about strategy and just be able to have an impact?

Are you surprised, not just within your own club, but from around the competition, from your experiences?

Chris, appreciate your time.

Good luck this afternoon, mate.
