So both of those things really sort of gave us the credentials, the sort of the the the courage to be in that conversation and say, no, we can do this.

Uh and the other part which was important from um all sorts of perspective, th they love the venue, right?

They they love being part of uh stadia that have a history, that have a relevance that are globally significant.

So the M C G and its role in Australian and global sport, uh fifty six Olympics, um so many firsts, uh that's where Australian sports history happens.

So that was an appeal to them.

And then absolutely, uh, part of the conversation was, are you telling me at ten thirty in the morning we're gonna have a hundred thousand people on a Friday turn up and I could absolutely say, Can I talk to you about um the Boxing Day Test or the Spring Racing Carnival?

So that that was that was part of the story too, yeah.

It's a a combination of things, but uh yeah.

Absolutely, yeah.

Yeah.

Uh in a couple of ways.

People think it's um all about just the people who come.

That's one way of measuring it.

But but another part of this is making sure, you know, I'm my job is destination marketing, we've got to make sure people wanna come to Melbourne.

Uh that this creates future demand as well.

So the deal with Netflix is a wonderful deal for us.

That's three hundred and twenty five million subscribers around the world, so

we have the opportunity to put Melbourne in front of a number of people.
