Queensland Cannibal gets stronger and stronger, and Waller and McDonald have been remarkable.
So there's so much on, isn't there?
Incredible.
Forever, his legacy.
He could have easily, I think, probably bowed his head
11 years ago, all those years ago, and sort of thought, well, I'll suffer this privately with my family.
But he decided very bravely that he would take the beast on and bring all of us with him.
It's been a surge.
It's been overwhelming.
He is a genuinely national hero.
He goes way beyond football.
And, you know, all of us that have had anything to do with him have been touched.
Incredible.
Only one.
And, you know, a career that was cut short, we know.
There was a lot of hurt about him.
He was a match winner.
He didn't play a lot of footy.
What might have been a coach that got so close and a human being that left us with everything, really.
So, yeah.
