Hey, guys.

How are you?

Yeah, yeah.

I guess it was a good precursor going into Darwin this week.

I know that.

Yeah, it was pretty warm.

Definitely not the type of stuff you'd get down in Melbourne at this time of year, I wouldn't have thought.

But yeah, nothing that we've never played in before, but it definitely made for a bit more of a scrappier game, I think.

Yeah, there definitely is.

But I think it's probably more from a body point of view in those conditions.

But we're probably fortunate in the fact that we've been gearing up to get ready for Darwin the last two or three weeks.

So we've been doing extra heat training to make sure that we're prepared for that.

And I think it probably helped us on the weekend.

But I do remember back in the day, we used to throw ground balls in with detergent all over them and try to work on the flat hands.

But yeah, I don't think we do that quite as much.

It's more about prepping the body.

I've never tried wearing gloves.

You boys have tried the sweatbands on both arms.

Look, I think sometimes it's just a matter of putting your head in the hole and trying to hold on for dear life when you get the ball and trying to execute when you get your chance.

Yeah, no, definitely.
