So he kicked four and he's going pretty well.
So he shows no signs of slowing down and he's been really positive for us.
I think it's invaluable.
I think, you know, I've been through a few different clubs, you know, probably Hawks early days with Claycombe and we brought in a guy like Stuart Jew who had played a premiership at Port Adelaide and just to have that experience really helped the Hawks in that 2008 season.
I was at Melbourne during a rebuild period, but they hadn't been very good for a long period of time.
We brought in guys like Daniel Cross, who was a star performer for the Bulldogs and a real pro in his development and the way he went about things.
To bring those guys in with the Kangaroos who haven't seen a lot of success is really important too.
They can just steady them up with the way they train, the way they prepare.
They can give them confidence.
Boys, we're training them really hard.
We're doing a lot of things right.
We're really happy with those decisions to bring them in the club and our players have learned a lot off them.
Well, it is, but you've been around footy a long time because it's not as simple as getting one defender in.
It is about the team defence.
How quick can our forwards get up into the middle of the ground and stop transition through the corridor?
How quickly can our defenders get up and squeeze the ground when the ball's leaving their area?
It's a team defence and the area that we've got to improve on is our team defence and that's working as a collective now.
That's not to say we're not going to look for the next Steven Silvani.
No, if he's out there, we'll try and get him and play.
But I'd be really happy if we can just tighten up our system.
