Wednesday morning.

This is your station.

This is Waitley.

Both teams and both teams from both clubs, men's and women's, are set up in good shape from a list perspective.

They're going to put really competitive, strong teams on the park.

If you look at...

the young talent that are going to bring the Renegades to life in the men's side and then some established stars on the BBL side for the stars.

I think both those teams are in great shape.

We've got to do some work now, I guess, to bring those fans back on that journey for the clubs with Cricket Victoria.

And I think once they start to see the season come to life and for what's true for the BBL, which is fun family entertainment, summer nights at the Cricket, those things will hold true and big crowds at the MCG are going to be part of our season.

Yeah, no, I think we're really excited about the season ahead.

I mean, the core of what makes the BBL and the WBBL great remains.

It's fun, family entertainment, summer nights at the cricket and great entertainment and great cricket.

Those things will hold true and will hold us in good stead this year.

Even if there is some disruption and uncertainty in the background, we think the strength of both our competitions will hold us in good stead.

I think the season will end up delivering some really interesting storylines.

There's players and people around the game with a lot to prove and highly motivated to have big seasons and, I guess, deliver results for their teams, particularly in Melbourne, and I'm sure we'll get to that.

But, yeah, you'd never take for granted the fans' engagement and passion for any competition, and the BBL –

and the WBBL are both fan-focused competitions.

They were built with the fans in mind, and we've got to remain as true to that as we can.
