And if they can't do it in a year or two, then guess what?

You're out and someone else can go and try and revive your career.

But this is the pre-group pressure.

This is the team-orientated stuff that good teams need because we all believe in Gold Coast.

We just don't believe that they're a team-first mindset just yet.

Yeah, I loved every part of that.

I loved the first part when he spoke about the passion of just appreciating every game that he's been fortunate enough to play, especially in the later part of his years, because...

We all know that not many players get to the same stage that he's at.

And he's still loving lacing up the boots.

Those sore bodies when you can't walk the following day after a game, he still appreciates all that because he understands once he hangs up the boots, that's gone.

But I love the part where it was all about, I'm not going to do it if it's not the best thing for the Geelong Footy Club.

He understands what that football club has done for him, was able to bring him back to his hometown.

But I think that's, we just spoke about the leadership mentality of Gold Coast.

If I was Dimmer, I'd be playing that to them, saying this is a bloke who's done everything in football almost, and he's still putting the club before himself.

This is the mindset that other young blokes should start to trend between it.

trend towards and there's no doubt that Danger early on had a little bit of the Gold Coast mindset because all young kids do to get drafted especially high but listen to how he finished his career let's start to take a little bit of a mindset like that

I think so.

More so the fact that what he's been able to handle, and leadership comes on field, off field, and being able to focus on certain things when things aren't going your way in a personal life, and then you add on what

he's gone through and that's just to another extent which no one you couldn't even dream you couldn't even think about what he and his family have gone through to show his mental strength to be able to handle himself how he did we were lucky enough on channel 7 last week to sit down and Haim interviewed him

You can see the pain post-game.
