You know, it was good to get it done last week, but, you know, the proof will be in the pudding, as I say.

If we can go out there and do that today again against Richmond, who have had the bye, and they're a young, spirited team, so they'll come out and show plenty of energy.

So if we can match what we did last week and get the four points, I think you'll be able to say that we're probably back on track, yeah, leading into the bye.

Look, it's a great question.

I'm certain it has from our perspective.

And I think if you look across the whole AFL board and injury list, clubs are going through stages where they're having a lot of players out.

Like Richmond have got a fair few out.

We've got a few out.

We're starting to get a few back.

Sydney, who didn't have any, is starting to get some.

So every team's going through that period.

But I think the way that the AFL have adjusted the rules, the game has quickened up.

And I think that's lent itself to a lot of fatigue, a lot of soft tissue injuries.

we've had quite a few this year and we've done a bit of, you know, research and that around why that's happening.

And there's a number of reasons, but I think the thing, I think the biggest thing has been that the games got quicker, less stoppages, less congestion, you know, sides moving the ball quicker from their back half.

So I think all of those put togethers, no doubt had an impact on the, on the club's injury list.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

He's been stuck on 199 games for 12 months.

So he gets to play his 200th today, which is fantastic for him.

And he's been training really well.
