So it's turned into a bit of consistency, and that's what I want throughout the rest of the year.

Yeah, definitely.

I think, you know, when you're young, growing up, all you want is the fame, and you want everyone to know your name, and then

The older you get, the more settled you get and you're just happy doing your thing and winning because obviously you're playing the sport to win.

So, yeah, for me, it's, you know, I'm a bit more settled now, a bit more mature, just happy to do my bit and support what the team needs.

So, yeah, it's definitely changed in that regard.

Oh, it's a million-dollar question.

I think everyone wants to know this.

But I think, to be honest, a lot of people in my position are probably –

also confidence-based footballers so the more opportunities to get your hands on the ball earlier makes it a lot easier so for me it's probably on ball then go forward you know get a few touches in start to get that confidence up and then once you go forward you feel like you're ready to make an impact because you're in the game um but obviously you know this year it's been a bit bit scarce going forward so um

When you do go down there, you've got to definitely make use of your chances.

um we didn't get together as a group we we spoke before we we went on the buy and it was yeah mainly about let's just put this to the side what's what's happened in the first half of the year obviously you know we're pretty happy with how it all went uh to be quite honest you know i felt like we put some good performances in but you know usually when we win those close ones we're not this year uh so that's obviously a focus going forward but in terms of you know our whole footy brand i think you know we've strung together some good games and it's

It's just going to be about finishing those going forward.

Yeah, I definitely think so.

There's a lot of players who have only played a handful of games and

Sometimes it takes a bit for people to find their feet at this particular level and I think there's a few guys out there that are holding their head above water at the moment but I still feel like they can definitely go to a whole other level and gain some confidence from a few good performances.

Uh, you know, cause we, we don't know a whole lot about of what's going on and stuff like that.

But at the end of the day, it's, you know, you hear someone's going through a fair bit and, um,

The main thing for us is, you know, to always be there and support him because, you know, life's a bigger thing than football and he's obviously going through a tough period of time.

So we're just here to support him and make sure he knows that he feels welcome when he comes in.
