And the second one, I can't put exactly my finger on it, but I just think there might just be a bit of a gap in what's, you know, it's generally the funnel, Gerard.

I don't think...

there's anything more because the game is far more suited.

Now, that's probably why I'm a bit confused is like the game is far more suited to forwards now than it's ever been.

Between the Lasse rule and the Stan rule, particularly the Stan rule, the ball's never moved faster.

There's never been more space since the 90s.

So you'd like to think that once these forwards get up and going,

You know, I think hopefully there can be a bit of a gap, but maybe just maybe the backs are just generational and that's the difference.

But my challenge is hopefully a few can take the mantle from what Jeremy Cameron had done for so long and Jesse Hogan had done more recently.

We need a few more.

We need a few more to join Tracy and Darcy and Ben King so there's a bit more of a tussle out there.

You'd like to think so.

I think when you watch the game, you've got to look at the balance.

Actually, Joe, let's not beat around the bush.

We'll be 10 midfielders and maybe one or two forwards.

I don't think we'll – but if we really think big picture, you go, all right, if we get to the last month of the year and we're in September, there's going to be a lot of one-on-one contests.

And the people that are actually going to move the needle, the people that can stop teams from scoring 95 points, they score 75 because their key defender or one of their great defenders has single-handedly stopped three goals.

Like three goals that should have been goals.

And I think all those players plus my man Sam Taylor and Jack Buckley, they can do that.

And that should be weighed far more heavily than what it all gets currently weighted at.
