It took them until last year and they still haven't won a final, you know, in 2026.

That's seven years.

Look at North Melbourne.

I think they went back to the draft after Brad left about 14 or 15.

We're only just now seeing some opportunities for North Melbourne.

We think they're starting to emerge, which is what we want the game to do.

And we go to Faggs when he took over in Brisbane.

You know, it was 13 or 14, I think, was it Leper, before Faggs come in and then, you know, it took them till 23.

But they've had this great run.

I mean, they're the pin-up for rebuild and the pin-up for how to get there.

But you've got to get all these draft picks in initially and then you've got to top up with the right quality of people to come in and support them.

So...

It's a big, big job for anyone.

Yeah, I was staggered by that.

Honestly, when Brad said that, I thought Brad must have been the person who wanted to keep Zach last year, if I'm being honest.

I have had one or two conversations with this, and so I wasn't privileged to any of that information.

So I certainly don't know the facts, but I was staggered that the senior coach

last night said he thought they should have moved him on.

I can't believe that actually didn't get done.

I honestly can't.
