He's the main reason why they've been able to get over in a lot of those close games.

So they're my five.

And I totally understand people out there are throwing up.

Greens stepped up and kicked some goals.

This is as tough a year to try and put in that top five, barring probably the top couple.

I think the group just felt calm and composed throughout the whole tournament, really.

Someone stepped up when they needed to be.

I think we had, again, like 10 men in the matches.

So, amazing depth in the squad.

Anyone who came in did a great job.

What most appeals to you about the Fremantle set-up in 2026 and beyond?

Because this is really the start of things for this team.

Yeah, so that's the accumulated scarring, the lessons that you picked up, and then there's dealing with... So in the two-team town, and they're the darlings of the town at the moment, and all the plaudits and heralding that comes with that is when Justin Longmuir speaks about the leadership meeting and just how grounded he is, which has to rub off, doesn't it?

What's that dynamic like, would you say?
