And when you're incredibly smart in how you play the game, you buy yourself more time.

Whateley

You take off your physical tools.

Whateley

Secondly, he clearly looks after his body.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

He's in great shape.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

He's had some luck with injuries along the way, but he looks after himself very, very well.

Whateley

And then the third one is he's clearly kept mentally fresh.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

He hasn't been bogged down in what can be a very mentally exhausting job every week getting up.

Whateley

And he's managed it incredibly well.

Whateley

And I think you bundle those three together and he just does what he does.

Whateley

Well, we both love cricket, don't we, Jordan?

And I think if we go all the way back to the DRS, the evolution of DRS was to stop howlers, to stop the ones that were so far wrong when you smashed it inside your pad or it's pitched half a foot outside.

If it was glancing the top of off or if it was just missing, I don't really care because that's not what we're doing because we don't mind a little bit of judgment.

Whateley

And if we think we come across to the AFL and we go, what are we trying to stop?

Whateley

Well, we're trying to stop Tom Hawkins kicking into the post in a grand final and counting six points.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

That's what we're trying to stop.

And I think for me, when we review little instances that aren't significant, like a lasso on the wing, out of bounds on the full versus one point, like what to me are relatively trivial.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

If you can't make the decision from footage within 10 seconds less, there's not a howler, then we just move on.

Whateley

But what we do is we... Like, I saw the Griffin-Logue one and I thought it was touched.

Whateley
Whateley in a Snapshot | Wednesday (29.04.26)

But does it matter?

Whateley

Yeah, it does in the situation of the game.
