Danny Daly

He probably could have played a couple of weeks ago.

But as you do when you've got guys coming back from me, Rico, you stick to the plan.

And he's bulked up a little bit as well over his break.

So you see a little bit of a different Eric Hickwood out there today.

But it's really good for him and for our team.

He plays an important role.

I know he can be frustrating at times for our supporters, but he is a real...

important part of our forward line and you know hopefully come in and help logan morris as well who i'm sure will get some attention today he'll be right that he gets to play his 200th down in tassie as well did he come to you during the week and say maybe hold off for another one well we actually said to him like what do you want to do mate like you know we're happy to play in the afl but um you know do you want to have a run in the vfl and get yourself right but no he was straight in so it's um

You know, you've got to play wherever you've got to play.

And we've got Harris' 250.

So I think their parents are pretty happy to be making a trip to Tassie and Hobart.

They've been down for a couple of days and experienced a few nice restaurants.

So I think the parents are happy about it.

Oh, we prefer to play at the MCG, no doubt about it.

But that's out of our control.

The AFL, obviously...

decided to put us up against Richmond here for, for whatever reason, but you know, we would prefer to play at the MCJ a hundred percent.

Oh, absolutely.

Um,

Bruce has got an unbelievable ability to connect with players and the way he does his craft around stoppages and the midfield boys, they just love him.
