Like,

We probably knew that the dogs were going to be up for the fight, but with their inexperience, they just couldn't contain Sydney for the whole of the game.

They did a pretty good job for a quarter and a bit over a quarter, but never going to be able to do it for 120 minutes.

Um, well, we, we, we can't cause if we take that away from him, um, I'm not sure he's that great a player.

Okay.

Um, it is most, his most significant strength, but I think what will, uh, what will happen with time, he'll, he'll develop a greater awareness of what's around him.

He'll get a little bit stronger, so he might be able to.

um, just protect himself a little bit more in some of those situations, but gee whiz, take, take, take away his most significant strength.

Um, I'm just, I'm just hoping over the, over the journey, he'll gather with more experience and greater awareness of when to go, when to protect himself, um, get a little bit stronger around the chest and the, and the, and the,

and the upper body.

Some of those incidents will be few and far between, hopefully.

Well, it's not really my space.

It's more Todd and Brady Rawlings and that crew.

But yeah, I'm not overly concerned with the concussion side of things.

I had about 20 myself.

Yeah.

I'm still going somehow.

My wife would say that.

I'm not sure how you're still ticking along.

But I've got full faith that there's a lot of guys, whether it's concussion episodes or whether they're – I can remember Matty Suckling at Hawthorne who his first five games were individual games.
