So I think, you know, you look at sides, GWS are really high for hairball meters game.

Gold Coast are really high for hairball meters game.

Brisbane probably a little bit more straighter uncontested mark team.

So every team has their method.

And, you know, I thought this is probably what we need to do as a football club.

And we've spent a lot of time on it.

I think with Nick, his ability to be able to, first of all, do a full pre-season in the position we wanted him.

Last year, we had him high and then we had him deep at times.

We had

not a lot of key forwards ahead of the ball.

So we tried to, throughout pre-season, tried to move the magnets a little bit.

And, you know, I was probably the first to say, and always will be, put my hand up and say, did it work?

No, it probably didn't.

So what do we have to do?

We have to try and change and go back to what we know does.

And yeah, he's been sensational for us.

I think, you know, a lot of people certainly talk about his run and carry and his ability to,

execute skill and delivery certainly anywhere over the ground.

But I've just been really pleased with the way he's matured, his leadership.

He's also the way he sets up our defence when we don't have the ball as well.
