So I think it's the team that can manage the game where they're not playing perfectly and still execute.

And it's the team that can manage the...

the misses where, you know, really important players all of a sudden come out of the team and they're able to cover that.

You know, there's great examples of teams being really successful and then there's others where, you know, those players are hard to cover.

I think we'll definitely be mindful of the game loads and sometimes that's more positional rather than just, you know, miss a game here and there.

Like, Bailey is hard enough to get off the ground during a game as it is, let alone miss a game.

But he's one of the, you know, the best runners I've ever seen.

And Max is a funny one.

Max doesn't particularly test all that well for us when we do our

testing throughout pre-season.

But if you give him three to six seconds to walk and recover, he can do that for 30 minutes straight at an RPM that few players can.

So, I mean, they're two very unique athletes that we're really fortunate to have.

And they contribute a huge amount to our run and carry game that we feel is

you know, is really advantageous in a season and a game that is played the way that it is now.

So we'll be mindful of those guys.

We understand they carry a big load, but we feel we can manage it in different ways, not just missing games.

I won't lie.

I played a game with Max at Port Melbourne.

I was coming back from a hammy.

I reckon this is definitely Max's first year.
