I think it's close.

I think it's a close game.

Yeah, I do.

I think it's anyone's game in some ways.

And 22, if they win, Collingwood go to 22.

They're two points from the top four.

I sort of get why they're picking their players.

Yeah, I get it, Kenny.

But how's it going to look in two years' time?

Oh, well, we're in the business of winning now, and that's what you have to spend most of your time in, unfortunately.

And, you know, there might be another player come up at some stage that they just go and recruit like Ben King or Zach Butler.

It was one of those ones where you're there and you're just loving every moment of it.

You're reminded of how and why you love...

game of footy because of the individual brilliance that we saw and you don't often see that level of talent on display from from both sides and then the crowd the atmosphere 54 000 the perth people just they just love footy and the noise that was there um was as loud as a stadium that i've been in and then the unexpected thrilling finish for it where the the freemantle dockers kicked the last five with four minutes to go they're 10 points down still and you think

while Hawthorne have got possession of the ball, they can nearly shut this down and it's going to be an extraordinary away from home win.

So that was all of that that I felt.

And then just walk away going, OK, this Dockers team is real.

They're serious.

They're going to be in a position to finish top two, home qualifying final, home prelim final, see you at the MCG.

That's the opportunity in front of them.
