Was that an influence with signing in the club when you realised Dean was going to be the coach? Did you sign before Dean was put in place? How did that work?

Yeah, no, 100%.

As soon as I heard the rumour that Dean was the coach, I kind of said something to my agent and he, you know, within the hour told me, yeah, it's confirmed.

And then I reckon 30 minutes later, Dean himself actually called me and said, I've seen that you're available.

I want you.

If it wasn't for Dean, I think it would have been a different decision.

So I think he speaks for himself that he's a great coach and a great person and he brings in the right people for his team.

What's the vibe amongst the playing group in terms of towards the season around that?
