And I've mentioned it, it's boring, but Brisbane's up next.

equality side that are doing some very good things at the moment, but, um, it'd be a hell of a way to, uh, turn things around.

Uh, for sure.

Um,

I'll be honest, Gerard, the first 24 hours after the game that you play and obviously on the weekend we lost and lost badly.

It's quiet time or your 24 hours of getting everything out, venting, I guess, and then you've got to move on.

So we're in Monday, reviewed the game.

Tuesday we had a day off being a six-day break and then we had a really good session yesterday.

So there's certainly some optimism.

We're taking that, you know, an extended squad up

to spend a bit more time with each other and, yeah, huge challenge.

It's good to be the underdog at times and we'll see what we can do.

No worries.

Thanks for having me, Jed.

It's the same old Essendon against the Pivotonians, Geelong, just as they did exactly 100 years ago.

Tonight we're under lights, though, on AFL Wednesdays.

Would you please be upstanding for our national anthem, led by Master Joel Harvey.

With joyful strength, then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

Let the match begin!

God bless Australia!
