What, what, what's transpired? Just slow, slow developer? What's, what's been the key?

Um, I think it's that, that exactly.

It's, uh, slow developing.

You know, um, I've been working a lot with, uh, Ben Reid, my forwards coach, and Luke Power, um, he's also come on board this year.

So I've done a lot of work with them two during the preseason and, you know, it takes, takes a bit of time as a small forward and as a skinny, crony, scrawny kid, you know.

It does take a bit of time for the body to develop and a bit of confidence, and so I think, yeah, I've just...

It's really come, all come together this year and, you know, I'm looking forward to what next year can bring.

But your, your confidence and your self-belief must've been at a pretty low ebb this time last year.

So, pretty big game for you guys because you don't want to slip down the ladder any further.

Oh, absolutely not.

I mean, after...

Our game against Sydney and where we're sitting currently on the ladder, yeah, I think for the next couple of weeks we're going to really lock in and focus and try and get our position on the ladder a bit higher because obviously we're starting to get towards the pointy end of the season, as in finals, and so now we've just got to make every game count.

Or is that just

Bevo? I've learnt, yeah, Bevo's always good for, he's always good for something.

So, no, he's great.

Yeah.

How's the confidence level and the morale?

The confidence level's... within the group is still strong and as high as ever.

I mean, we obviously have in the wildcard round is open finals up to another two teams.

So we're definitely trying to be in that wildcard round, but most importantly in finals.

So if we can get our position higher, we'll take that as much as possible.

But yeah, Yeah, the confidence within our four walls is, yeah, very strong.

So it's just coming together each week and performing

I love that I love that um little tip around the essential oils with the eucalyptus and like making that you know bringing that sense of like country inside your house that's so beautiful but you spoke about cody and um you know you mentioned the bond is he someone that really wrapped their arms around you when you kind of were going through those struggles or are there anyone in particular that really kind of supported you through that challenging time

i'd have to say like Cody, Mara, and a bit of Bonte.

Like, you know, it was...

Especially, like, I felt like Jamara was a good point of, like, release that I could just lean towards because, obviously, he's a brother boy.

He's going through his own struggles with home.

And so, during that time, I was like, OK, I just want to be with my brothers and my sisters and be somewhat close to home.

And Jamara was a bit of that comfort.

How did that all come about? Because you became part of it and then you sort of stole the show.
