Yeah, no, 100%.

And that would be my expectation too.

I can't see that they would cut it and slice it and dice it in any other way.

Then you can go out there and you can try and call for all applicants and then you can do like Melbourne did and you can get it down to a group of five.

And it was only the five, I think, that went before the panel at Melbourne.

But that seems to have...

work pretty well at face value okay well this short period of time so that's what you would need to do and that's what I hope they do let's see what how that unfolds uh three coaching jobs that are just starting to rumble along as you would expect hey this this story in the Herald Sun caught my eye as much as any um in recent times the Fremantle Dockers are flying at the moment

They've lost the first game of the year and gone undefeated since that time.

They got Geelong this weekend, which will be a belter.

You look ahead.

I mean, there's some people suggesting that they may not drop another game.

I'm not of that opinion, but I love what they're doing.

John Ralph's writing that part of the keys to their success is they charter flights.

Now, this may have been public knowledge to others.

I wasn't aware of this.

They're chartering flights to every interstate game.

It costs them about, well, according to Ralphie, over 500 grand a season, which I think sounds pretty reasonable.

And the AFL have allowed them to pay that outside the soft cap because of the extreme travel burden that this Western Australian club's faced with.

They've also just spent a month at home in the middle of the season as well.

Invaluable.
