So he met for an hour with Sheedy and Little.

Privately.

Privately in Paul Little's office in South Yarra.

He is ready for the Legends game, I think, later in the year.

Of your former teammates, who do you see at the club most and who's down there getting the free massage, the free gear from the Saints shop the most?

That was clever.

Hey, Ben, it's been hard to remember a player come from the VFL mid-season and have the impact and know the style that a team plays quicker than what Hugo Horkahan has been able to do.

In the nine days from when he was picked up to playing, what sort of upskilling as teammates does that require?

And have you been, I guess, surprised with how quickly he's adapted to the game plan and the style that you want to play?

Ben, as vice-captain of the group, are you consulted on the approach to a player like Zach Bailey and what that would do for the group in the pay scale?

We hear about successful programs and certain players being capped at certain levels.

As a leader of the group, do you have to get involved in discussions with the senior management of the club that some players might come in on more than others?

What else are we going to watch today?

Just across town, Port Adelaide Footy Club, dealing with so many injuries.

I know Rosie's likely going to miss the rest of the season with the nerve damage in his hamstring.

Three fresh injuries from last night.

So, Asavarada Galea has gone for surgery on a ruptured patellar tendon.

We saw the pain he was in as he was stretched off last night.

So, he's going to miss at least 12 months.

Jack Lukosius, another calf injury, having missed two months with a groin injury.
