Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And I think that'll always be the challenge, um,

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

So I can see why there's speculation and I can see why it's floating around.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

But my gut feel is when it's all said and done, Toby will make a decision to stay.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

But there's merit in the discussion just because, you know, he just wants to win so badly.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

He's one of the most competitive humans I've ever met in my life.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And this is something that he's been chasing.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

Like he's had all this other success, Jared.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

But I know deep down, like there's no player that would trade that faster than Toby for the medal that actually mattered.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

Yeah, well, it reminds me a lot of round one, Gerard, when we said, oh, this is a maturity test to go and beat a banged up Geelong.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And they failed that one.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

So it feels like we're back there.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

What I will say, Gerard, is big picture.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

I am very, very confident that Freya will win one final.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

I think they're like almost certain to be in a prelim this year.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

Like that's where I see them.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

This question is now to be like, do they join the discussion where I feel very confident that they could win a prelim?

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And I think that's, as you say, like these are the maturity tests that, because they'll always, they'll finish top four, it looks like, I presume.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

So basically, you just have to win one final when you're in a prelim.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And usually, let's say they lose the first week and, you know, unless you go straight sets, you're usually going to beat up a banged up side in the semifinal and before you know it, you're in a prelim.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (27.05.26)

And I think that's where they're at definitely at the moment.
