Crawford

I was 34.

34, but I needed a bit of time with my knee.

However, I still felt like I had a bit more football in me, but mentally I felt like I was a bit fatigued because it took a lot to try and get through that last year mentally just with the injury that I had.

Yeah.

Totally cooked.

Did you feel you totally cooked at that stage or not?

No, you always, I think you step away for a little bit and then you think, didn't you do that?

Didn't you go back into the draft?

Yes, he did.

He got drafted by the West Coast.

You still think, oh, I reckon I could get out there.

And especially if you think you can use the ball reasonably well, you can always slot in.

And these days, you don't really need to man up.

You just be a part of a zone.

I'm like, wouldn't footy be great?

and played that way.

And that means I'm not going to get tagged for a few years.

So that would be nice as well.

Had you not won it... Can I just say, I'll tell you right now.

Had you not won it... AFL football would be nothing without midfielders.
