Patrick Dangerfield

And we played in the midfield together and I saw firsthand, I'm like, wow, his whole draft year was all about football.

it was run, but he'd always handball.

And if you could add kicking to it, it just, it reminded me so much of Juddy when he would play because he'd just have this burst of acceleration and the ability to, to back up and do it over and over again.

So that was sort of one that I was, I was pretty confident in, but you know, did we know he was going to be the player that he's become so quickly?

Um,

Probably not, because I think we would have tried to find a way to trade into pick 10 rather than 20 in order to get him.

He's been a great recruiting storage for the Cats.

I think more broadly, sport is too competitive as an industry to not look to improve it.

And with that will come judgment, obviously, and that's fine.

I think the one that I've liked and it doesn't suit everyone, I don't think, is just the

The free kicks between the arcs on last kick or handball out of bounds, knowing and having plenty of mates playing in the sandfall and how that's gone, for a really traditional league, that was well received and has been really beneficial for the game, certainly to the people that I've spoken to.

I think that's been a good thing to improve on.

the flow in AFL games.

Now, it doesn't suit every player and with that will come adjustment and we've spoken at length.

I think everyone has around the importance of running carry because we've seen less stoppages.

But I feel like that has opened up the game a fair bit.

That's a really good question.

All I know is from my perspective, when I sit on the bench and I sat on it plenty as an older player now, our doctors review every single contest at nauseam with... I reckon it's like 12 different angles.
