Yeah, but thanks for asking.
Yes, now, just in passing, I did mention, of course, the AFL has decided to go get into the Origin Caper and they've announced another match a couple of weeks ago between this time South Australia and Western Australia at Optus in February next year.
In the hottest part of the year, which is always good.
Well, they must look at what happened on Wednesday night.
Exactly.
Those numbers.
The numbers are just unbelievable and they say, well, we should be able to do something like that.
But then the narrative, the narrative, the reason you're doing this.
Of course, I was thrilled with the promotion that Gallen gave the match on the other night, Wednesday night, with his suggestion that, you know, he hates the whinging Queenslander because a whinging Queenslander always claims... Wants you down?
Yeah, well, his...
In his view, yeah.
But he was saying that the difficulty is they always claim underdog status when they're not.
Not that the betting would indicate anything but underdog status like the other night.
I think Maroons were at a longer odds certainly in New South Wales than the, predictably enough, the Blues were.
But now I was just thinking of a whole picture here of what learnings, as we use it now, could the AFL take from the origin the other night and apply to South Australia and Western Australia?
Yes, no, I take your point.
Now, I can't do where they are origin from the players quickly enough to actually work out who the mates have to bash each other in the head.
