I didn't react in a way.

It was like, let's get this done before we can confront the massive story that was in front of us.

So in the rooms, I think it was just a tap on the shoulder and, you know, at halftime.

But we didn't change too much.

Yeah.

So we didn't let the emotion seep into the rooms or to the players.

So looking at the Bulldogs on the weekend, it got emotional really quick, didn't it?

So we all react a little bit differently.

We try to keep it business as usual, as best we could.

We ended up winning that game, and our players did a lot of work that year on staying in the moment, staying present, because you can drift into what does this mean for the future.

So, yeah, we had a good win that day, and then we replaced the role, Gerard.

Aftermatch, yeah.

You break down and you, and I think I did an interview and, and, and it was an emotional piece because you just, then you start to get, God, this guy's done.

He's his second knee.

And is this it for him?

And we're going well, we might have some success.

How are we going to win without him?

Um, but you, you probably live in how's he feeling space more than what's going to happen to us straight after the game.

So that was, and you know, I can't tell you how big Nick McNally is in WA and for him to come back that year.

So it was his comeback year and, and we were flying with him at the front line.
