I think, I think, um,

By the end of the season, we'll have remembered this little patch that we've gone through the first eight weeks of the season.

It's had some challenges, but it's actually grown us.

I'm really excited about what we can achieve still this year.

There's certainly not doom and gloom around here.

There's a high expectation and a high confidence that we're going to get it done and we'll continue to work towards that.

Yeah, he has been.

He has been and it's taken him a little while to sort of

slide into the way that we want him to play which is slightly different to how he played at Melbourne and he really has a great appetite to learn and to work and we've seen that the moment he stepped into the building so that certainly makes it a lot easier for him that transition but yeah the fact that

We lost Tom Green over the January period, which we felt was going to be a really strong pairing this year.

The fact that he's managed to shoulder the load of that contested possession clearance game has been not only quite fortunate for us, having lost Tom, that Clayton can step in there, but the reality is he's done a fantastic job and will continue to do so.

We'll try and support him as best as we can in that phase of the game.

No, we doubled down.

I think I've got great confidence in Jake Riccardi and Max Grzyzewski who will come in this week, both of them.

You know, Jake has been a part of our team for the last four years.

Not in the team the last two weeks, but really strong VFL foreman.

Max is a young key forward developing and growing his game.

He's got some real strengths to it that I think can complement us ahead of the ball.

So, you know, great confidence in those guys and they're surrounded by some

some pretty special and smart players in you know jake stringer and toby green and brent daniels guys like this toby bedford who's always there pressuring and um and supporting so you know that i think that makes it easier for those guys but um but nonetheless you know they get a challenge it's it's hard as young key backs to to count young key forwards to come in for max and he's going to get a good player so
