And it's your story too.
It's it's you know, Anthony Hudson's story, it's Hamish the story, it's uh anyone and you know, Brian Taylor's anyone that wants to be a great caller and is a great caller, Tim Lane, etc.
So I feel like we're all part of it, Jim.
was particularly the twenty sixteen Grand Final.
Yeah.
Um, and and that and there was been a big build up and he and I talked about that a lot and you know, he'd said to me that year, look, don't tell anyone you're retiring.
It's just been too hard for me.
I've done too many laps of honour.
He said I you know, and he was you know, sort of worn out emotionally, I think, by it all, but I realised what it meant to him and then, you know, that perfect script because the Bulldogs were there.
It was a great game, you know, it was an incredible game of football, twists and turns and then that Tom Boy goal and Dennis's, you know, iconic call that even gets better than it was, I think, over the years and uh so all of those things came came to pass.
So tha that was the match in particular.
I mean there were some of the things that he came up with that, you know, you thought, Oh blindy, I wish I'd thought of it.
How did you think of it and how did it be and then, you know
T Tony Libertori's gotta go in and get his eye ask for uh i eye smash but for happen, you know, type of thing.
So you think, gee, even the players are working through him but no, it was it was pretty crazy.
I mean, y you know the craft, you know the effort that goes into it, and you know every now and then that you get a chance to deliver a line and you know, he had those chances.
But also there are many times when you shouldn't deliver the line and I can't remember him
going early crow with any of these things.
I'm guilty of doing that and I know I am and it drives me mad about myself.
I can't remember him doing it.
