Bottom line.

Jared, hi there, mate.

Quick question, just a value of your opinion.

And there has been a little bit of talk on this and I want to pre-empt my question by saying I basically, I don't like all the clubs, but I respect all the clubs in the thing and anyone that

finishes top or in the finals, they deserve it.

My question to you is, to what extent do you feel the competition is diminished or reduced by Essendon, Calton and Richmond being basically cellar dwellers and maybe even Collingwood, there are no certainties to make the final.

Do you think that that's, you know, I mean, crowds are down, I would say, well, they certainly were down.

Yes.

This is a first-time caller with you as well.

Oh, welcome.

My concern, Maurice, I'm happy Brad Scott's gone.

I was surprised when he was given an extended contract.

because I couldn't see the development of the younger players.

Well, yes, I agree with some of the senior players, and I can understand why Zach Merritt wanted to leave, because of the fact that... So...

We've got Archie May-Wicks.

We've got... Sorry.

Archer May.

We've got Sharp come in.

Caddy and Kako.

I mean, they're all going to be very good players.
