But we're going ahead, Gerard.

There'll be kickoff at Fed Square.

Of course we are.

But we shouldn't pretend we don't know how we got here.

That Matildas game from the semi-final, there were appalling scenes at Fed Square, the knocking down of barriers and the lighting of flares and the like.

So let's not pretend we don't know why the decision was made.

There's just a way to manage it, and it has been managed successfully for the most part in the past.

So I'm not – it's just such a tone-deaf decision, but we shouldn't pretend we don't know why it was made in the first place.

So behave yourself.

And the mob mentality, you're right, had set in in more recent times as well.

So always a risk of bad behaviour, as the Premier says, but let's just ensure that all things go well come the middle of the year when the Socceroos kick off in the US for the World Cup.

I can't wait to see their AFL teams as they're laid out tonight.

For me, Jed Walter, a real watch.

in this Gold Coast side tonight and going forward this year.

He was dropped last week, Jed.

He didn't get a recall after his suspension earlier in the season as well.

Six goals, four games.

He's had a two-year contract in front of him now for several months.

He has not signed it.

Ben King hasn't signed his.
