We get Tasmania coming in, and then do we get a 20th licence come in?
And there's people who say there isn't enough talent, and then there's people who say, well, there are these mid-season draftees who come in and have an impact.
I think both arguments are actually true because the most fascinating
I think the funniest part in the discussion is, and this can be players that get picked at 30 in the national draft, 50 in the national draft, or in the rookie draft, or in the mid-season draft.
Sean Manor, for example.
How do these clubs all... Look at Geelong, they've got Sean Manor.
How do all these clubs look past him?
Well, Geelong looked past him for six years as well.
So that's the part that's funny.
Yes, a player eventually is given an opportunity.
I think and I hope that maybe...
maybe now with the need for 40 more bodies for Tasmania and then whatever it looks like, you know, well and truly down the track.
And we are seeing, it has to be, it feels like we are so much more open now as an industry to allow players to play 33, 34, 35 and beyond.
If you can perform and be of assistance and you become a little bit cheaper, then you can play at 35 when, I mean, 10 or 12 years ago, the moment you hit 30, you were on borrowed time.
No, I'm going to take the Lions out of that game because I've been enjoying Fremantle's build.
They've been winning each and every week, but there's been queries on their game, which I think is a great thing.
I think it's great that they've been able to win.
but then have us say, well, are they going fast enough?
Do they have enough of this?
Do they have enough of that?
