And what happened that night?

So we went to the casino.

And we got to the tables, blackjack table.

And so the sort of the older boys and like the coaching staff, everyone who'd been to Cassandra Ball and who knew how to play, they were sort of all advising anyone who didn't know how.

They were like advising us, this is what you want to do and you should sit on that number or hit on that number or things like that.

Did you win that night?

I did win.

I think I won.

That's a lot of money, especially as a teenager.

That felt like winning the lotto to me.

You must have been so thrilled.

What did you do with the money?

It was over the moon.

I felt like the richest man in Australia.

I was 18.

I think that probably doubled the amount of money I had in my bank account at the time.

I literally felt like the richest man in Australia.

And then it was only, I think, the next week or a week or two later, my mum came down for a visit.

And she came to watch me play game footy.
