And then like a month later I called him and I was like, cause I'd been like hand pulling weeds in a garden thinking about it.

And I was playing like local Brisbane comp for West Mitchell, like just in a lower grade.

Yeah.

And I called up my brother and I said, do you reckon I've still got Queensland Cup in me?

And then he's usually not complimentary.

And he goes, fuck yes, you're a beast.

And I was like, oh, where did that come from?

And then I run it past my dad and he was like, oh, mate, you've got to make money for your family.

But I'll back you if you're going to do it.

And then I run it past my wife and she's real supportive.

She's a gun.

And then so I called Shane like two weeks later because that was the hard one, conversation with the coach.

And I knew he was going to be like, oh, he's 36, 37.

And he told me when I retired at 32, he called me up and he goes, now tell me one thing.

You don't play footy again.

Do you know what I mean?

So I had that ring in my ears.

Call up Shane.

30 minutes later, he goes, do you actually want to play?

And I was like, yeah, that's what I've been talking about the last 30 minutes.
