This is setting this football club.

And so they played round 12 at Brisbane.

This is the beauty of the chartered flight.

Rather than stay in Brisbane, give up the next day, get the flight back, lose a day, all that sort of stuff, they left at 11 o'clock at night on the chartered flight.

So they would have done whatever recovery, got on the flight.

They all get three seats each if they want to stretch out and have a sleep on the way home, and they're in their beds the next morning.

Over time, the accumulated benefit of that when you're going interstate, I think is enormous.

I'm reading this going, gee, how much of a leg up is this given the Fremantle Dockers, and why isn't every club doing it?

When you say leg up, it's a percentage improvement in their overall performance.

But it's more about, I would say, if you don't mind, I would say it's more about the talent that they have assembled over a period of time as opposed to their travelling arrangement as to why they're such a fair house at home.

I'm not being a downer.

No, I think it's enormous.

I just don't want to overplay.

I don't think.

I'm trying not to overplay the fact that they're having chartered flights.

I think that's great.

And a percentage difference, and we can ask Jack about this when he joins us soon, about what it might take out of an individual over the course of the year, flying across the country back and forward and doing all that sort of stuff.

But it certainly is going to be a help to them to be able to do this.

It is.

So West Coast have been doing it since 2022.
