So I played half forward and had a few stints in the midfield as well, which was really good, so...

as my body gets a bit better over the next month.

Hopefully I can go through there a little bit more.

Yeah, I've missed that part of competitive sport, the body contact.

So, yeah, I'm quite competitive, as you know, Gerard.

So I get into the contest a bit, but trying to keep a lid on it as much as I can.

Yeah, yeah.

I asked the midfield group in the reserves my first game how old they were.

I think there were two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, so that was significantly younger, yeah.

But their opposition's been awesome.

They've embraced me coming back and having a kick at local footy, so...

there's been nothing untoward from the opposition point of view.

I think everyone's just excited that, you know, with the Devils now, we get Devils players coming back and playing local footy and then I can tack on and bring a little bit of publicity to the competition.

I think everyone's enjoying that a little bit.

I kicked a couple.

I kicked a couple on the weekend, but the coach gave me a license to just, I was running around the back chair.

Don't worry about that.

Trying to get handball received and have pot shots at goal.

But yeah, I've managed to kick a couple of goals.

Yeah, that's been a huge boost.
