Enjoy the week and the recovery.

And as we said, next time you're in here, wander in and you can take on the hosting chair.

We'd look forward to that.

Tom Green joining us there.

We talked about Joe Weston before, but isn't it a joy when you're well-considered, answer questions with some depth?

And, you know, I love the way he doesn't back away from anything that you ask him.

We never want to try and get him into trouble, but he's saying he needs to know that the team that he commits to has got a plan for success.

Not for him personally, but the whole group.

And I think that puts clubs on notice a bit too.

It's sensible, isn't it?

If you're going to commit yourself to a football club for a longer period of time, and some clubs are out there talking about seven-year deals, maybe the Giants are talking about a seven-year deal, you want to be informed, don't you?

If you get to a point in your football career, you want to think that, okay, I've got a chance of being successful down the track, and these questions I need to ask the club about where they're going, what their future is, what they think they're doing, what their strategy is going forward.

Before you commit.

It's going to be a huge part of his life.

And this next deal that he signs is probably going to be the biggest deal of his football career.

And it'll cement his position in AFL football.

So he needs to know stuff.

I love it when players take accountability and ownership of their own careers.

It's good to have managers and all those sorts of stuff, but you ultimately are the one that make the decision.

And as Tom said, he's not going to die wondering.
