Aaron Norton's having a really good year as well.

And I know that people, you know, will look at it and go, oh, you know, but he's not kicking back.

He was really good last week against Melbourne.

Yeah.

They had no Darcy there.

So their forward line looks a hell of a lot different than it would have traditionally.

Of course, Lewis has gone forward and hit the scoreboard again last night to kick three goals.

But I think Aaron Norton's having a bit of an underrated season, JJ.

I know he's highly talented and highly touted.

There's a lot of talk about him.

But he is doing a lot of nitty-gritty stuff that you don't always appreciate.

All right, let's talk on the pies quickly.

McRae said, and I quote, we are middle of the road last night.

I don't think anyone disputes that.

Of course, those two injuries you touched on, Jamie Alley, have been the longer-term one over Darcy Moore pickers.

But when you watch Collingwood, it's...

It's interesting to try, like, the wildcard conversation means they're in it, and they're a monstrous chance to play a September game, which in the past might have changed the way they look at certain things.

Dacos Pendlebury, Degoe was really good last night over four quarters.

Yeah, I agree.

What do you do, like, with Collingwood JJ, how do you view, like, I mean, view them is probably the wrong question, but what do you see them doing?
