Morning.

How are you?

Yeah, we've got our full session today, a bit of Matt Simms, so I'm looking forward to that.

But even more exciting, I think the full Australian list comes out today, so all the names will be revealed for this inaugural historic clash.

Yeah, it's a huge privilege.

I think what I'm most excited about is to see...

the game continue to grow.

It's in our 11th season now, and I just think this is going to be a huge opportunity to, I guess, launch the season on August 1st and to show the talent that we've got, not only in our Australian team, but the Irish.

There's 46 Irish players on this now.

They've come across and...

just added to our game, the speed, the flair.

And, of course, the chaos that they bring makes our game better.

So, no, I'm really, really excited about it and, of course, privileged to play alongside some of the best.

Yeah, no, it is the Aussie rules.

We're playing with the Sherin, so it'll be the first time ever that an international rules game is played with the Aussie rules.

So, no, I'm really excited about this.

I'm sure the Irish wanted to do a little bit of a Gaelic hybrid, but bad luck.

Oh, they are so good.

Dana Finn, one of the names.

She's a Carlton Blues player.
