And I've heard that the key pillars from defence that I'll be probably looking at would be an Alex Pearce.
matched
And that's one that's been touted.
matched
The other one I would go and ask is Harris Andrews.
matched
For a person, not only is what he can do on the football field makes people better around him, his leadership and what I saw that firsthand, what he's been able to do as a person, the stuff he does off the football field, as far as domestic violence that he's been an ambassador for.
matched
He's an ambassador for Myron, which is a kids cancer charity in Melbourne.
matched
These kind of things will teach players that it's more about off-field than what you do on-field.
matched
It's more about moulding yourself when you're a 30-year-old than how many kicks you get when you're a 21-year-old, which I think that's so important.
matched
But the other one, this is probably more a business decision.
matched
I don't want Collingwood supporters to come
matched
and calling up and get angry.
matched
But this is the one where I'd sit down and go, I'd go and ask Scott Penderbury, have one more year at Collingwood and then come down.
matched
And this is a little bit of a business one where it's, we all know about the struggles he's had over the last two years with the investment that went pear-shaped, lost a bit of money.
matched
And for him, he's sitting back, he's done everything he possibly can at Collingwood.
matched
But there's still that thing.
matched
You play a long time in football turf, obviously your own record, but it's also setting yourself up for your family, making sure that your kids have the luxury of you might be able to help them with a house deposit down the pathway or getting them into certain schools.
matched
For me, I'd go and talk to Scott Penderby and say, well, if we give you a $1.5 million sign-on fee, if we give you 1.2 to 1.5 for two years, and that might mean you play 15 games.
matched
But the biggest thing out of that is he doesn't have to touch the ball.
matched
He's there.
matched
The stuff that I saw him leading into his record game where he still gets up in the morning and he does his ice bath.
matched
So he gets out and does all the little small things of getting movement through his big toe because that helps the rest of his ankle frown.
