Matthew Wade

Everyone's excited about their footy.

Their sport in general, the basketball and the cricket, it's going well down here.

So they're flying.

I'll get to the Sheffield Shield in just a minute, Wadey.

But before I do, I've spoken to a man who's very important down there in the football circles.

Yes.

Not going to name him, but his name's James Henderson.

And I said to him, you've got a young fella called Rory Wright who played with Fred, my young bloke at the Sandy Dragons.

He can properly play footy.

And Hendo said, shut up.

Keep it quiet, all right?

We don't want anyone snitching him.

He's a good young boy.

Jim the recruiter.

Trying to keep them all quiet down here with the academy.

And I think they've got a couple of wild cards to get guys that are playing for the first two years in the VFL onto the AFL list.

So I'm sure they're trying to keep them under the radar and keep them away from mid-season drafts and all that kind of thing.

So hopefully we can hang on to them, Jim.

No, he's a good boy.

Hang on to him.
