Yeah, I certainly think now uh the whole state is behind

Um, you know, th there's always a few diehards uh who support different teams but but but there's no doubt in my mind that uh from the text messages I've got I mean I got text messages from mates I went to primary school with sort of saying, you know, Well done and I know they break for another team but no, it's the whole state this is really important to the whole state I think today.

Well I think uh it all starts by having a very clear kind of vision and purpose.

Uh I think we're all well aware of that, you know, to fight, inspire and win, make you know, rich the enrich the community and make the Freo family proud and everything goes from there.

And we've built an organization, uh we've had a real focus on how we actually develop our people internally.

Um and and we've got lots of successful people who who literally started at the club ten or twenty years ago and are now in

kind of more senior roles.

Um and even if you look at our coaching group for instance, you know, uh Jamie Graham, Joel Corey, uh Jade Rawlings, yeah, all very senior experienced people that uh you know want to be part of something special.

I think I think it's always making sure that just recognising there's so m so many distractions out there and so much noise and so you get all this kind of attention on you, particularly as we've been having success during this year.

Um you just gotta make sure that you stay you know, stick fat to your plan if you like.

There's always improvement opportunities so you don't deny weaknesses, right?

But you always see that there there's a way to improve uh and but make sure that it is a real improvement opportunity.

Not just some noisy distraction.

Well I think um you know when you when you in a sense help people how they communicate, particularly in the media and that, uh the first thing is that they've got to be authentic and I think that people are now understanding how authentic he is because if you try to be someone you're not, it just doesn't work.

Um that said, um, you know, we we we have Justin to coach our football team.

Um, he's not there to be the chief marketing officer of the club.

Yeah, I think we're very blessed to have I I would say the best CEO of all the eighteen clubs in the league at the moment.

Uh Simon's doing an outstanding job.

And JL really just fits as part of the team, you know.
