And as you say, it's created another, that Andrew Redmayne moment will live forever in Australian sport.

You know, it's an iconic moment.

Yeah, listen, it's that last moment of like this is like our last deep breath before going into this game.

You know, it's like that last moment of like registering what it all means and what you're doing it for and the people who are watching and it's the connection to –

you know, to the fans, to your families, to the stories, the journeys that everyone's been on to get to that moment.

I guess that's like, you know, there's national anthem and, you know, in its own sense, but that's not really the part of it that I connect to.

It's more like that.

I don't know, it's the only chance that you have where you're sharing it with everyone else more than just with the team as well.

And that's, yeah, for me it's like the last deep breath before you go in, you know, because in the dressing room it's all fire, it's all motivation.

You know, you're in the tunnel and it's tension and the other team's there and then there's like this calm for a minute, you know, to kind of like –

Let it sink in.

Yeah, and, you know, against the defending world champions on the biggest stage in front of the whole world, it gets no better.

It's what you do in the backyard as a kid.

It's what you...

you go to you know you you read the books about it's what you watched it's it's everything that you it's a culmination of everything that you ever dream of achieving in your own sport at the pinnacle and to do it against the number the best team in the world it's like what what more could you ask for bravo mate that that's a wonderful description i've got goosebumps here from 10 000 kilometers away that i i guess that the the that world cup campaign is bookended

He's not bad.

There is an element of it, for sure.

Like it's, you know, when you reflect on probably the two games that, you know, against Argentina and France who, you know, were the eventual finalists, the two best teams in the world, two best players in the world, Messi and Mbappe.

And in both games, you know there's going to be a more –

not a singular focus but a heavier focus on the individuals which are the ones that are the game deciders, the guys with the ability to turn a moment into the moment.
