Justin has done a fantastic job at Fremantle over a period of time.

I think, in fairness, that entire footy club has made some really good decisions over the last four or five years.

I think it would be highly inappropriate for me to talk about anyone who is coaching another club at the moment.

But, as I say, we're going to be doing everything we possibly can to get the best coach for Carlton into the future.

No, it's more of a hybrid model.

I think, as you've said there, the players...

that we've got at the top of the draft order over the last couple of years look like they're going to be very good players.

Jagger is...

a guy who is already leading parts of what we do.

And Harry Dean just looks like he's going to be an absolute star.

And he's such a competitive lad that you can't help but love him.

We're going to be going down the path of trying to bring some players in who we think can plug some of the holes that David and I

we're talking about earlier.

Um, but that's probably more looking like a, a free agency sort of play rather than, you know, um, lessening our draft capital because we do have to make sure that we're, we've got enough draft capital to, to bring Cody Walker in and also some other young talent.

Um, it's, it's a bit of a different environment than I'm used to going into potential player meetings without a coach, but, um, I'm, I'm, I'm trying to, uh,

trying to get through those at the moment with people leaving their minds open to Carlton into the future.

Definitely the inflationary pressure in the competition is making those smaller deals tough and I've been part of those over time.

I think that

the AFL and the PA could do well to come together and think about the way that those can be capped into the future at a level that both the AFL and the players are comfortable with.

Is that what you mean?
