I said, thank you.

It was more pride than anything.

I'm not sure if that's the right word.

You do so much work to try and get yourselves to a point where you just perform at a certain level and you're proud of the way they went about it.

We came in with a real clear focus on what we wanted it to look like and we were able to execute it.

So, yeah, really proud that they had that focus right and we came out and played the footy we wanted to.

Well, we just, Keane, we don't want to, I mean, sometimes it's, we probably could have played Rankin finals footy and you would have.

You know, there's, what's the risk reward at the moment?

If there's still a slight risk there at this time of the year, we're not going to take it.

And we probably, you know, we've had a,

a couple where we've been bitten with it.

You know, we've lost Kalachi a few times now this season, not necessarily taking risks, but yeah, maybe another week you look back.

So when you get burnt, you probably make decisions off the back of that.

Um, Isaac was keen as mustard was moving around quite well at training, but it's just enough there to say, well, it's not worth the risk.

And when the guys come out and perform like they did, you know, you,

Obviously, our decisions sort of backed up.

Not always the case, but on this occasion, it's one where we get to have a look at these younger guys and they perform really well.

So that's even more pleasing.

Well, it won't change it because when Isaac went out, he was full mid.

I think when he really hit his straps the last two or three games, he was playing as 100% midfielder.
