Yeah, it would be massive, really.

Purely just for the people around me, I understand.

As I've got older, I understand the gravity of having someone in your home place doing things that you aspire to be.

And I think, for instance, the kids I've grown up with, we never really had...

people from the Territory play representing sports, especially not cricket, a little bit of AFL, but that would have been amazing just to know that it's an achievable goal.

So for me, hopefully I provide that for some of the kids there that they can see that someone who's grown up in the Territory and spent a large majority of his childhood playing cricket at the same level they have and going through the same pathway they'll go through

hopefully provides a little bit of inspiration for them.

And also my friends and family being there and the places that I played.

Obviously, I played one game of cricket on TIO, but I played a lot of football there.

So it'd be cool just to be able to spend a lot of time out on that ground and reminisce all the times, you know, the footy games I played out there.

It'd be great.

I just play a little bit of AFL in the mornings during the wet season for the Waratahs, which was very lucky.

Played my last game against Willy Rioli, so he's obviously just retired.

So, yeah, sort of getting on time now.

We're getting a bit older, but...

But, yeah, no, I remember that was my last game.

I played a granny against him against the Marys, which was pretty cool.

So that was probably my last game of footy on that ground.

And then I last year got to play Australia A game.

So it was the last time I stepped foot on that ground, which was pretty cool.
