Have you got many loan players? We've sort of been tripped up by loan players before and we've sort of gone for a more permanent route.
10:15
We seem to have got better at that.
10:18
Going back a few years, we've had a change of ownership.
10:21
We had a bit of a, I think it's fair to say, a dodgy owner who departed.
10:27
Under the new stewardship of Andrew Pettit and Jason Stockwood, we've gone from strength to strength.
10:32
There's a nice aligned culture through the club.
10:35
We're kind of all facing in the same direction.

A- and when did you find out that he had been released, but not to your home, but to a homeless shelter?
13:08
Oh.
13:09
Well, we got a call around 6:00 that night from a nurse saying, "We're gonna be discharging him, and we're looking for a, a shelter for him," because we had said we're, you know...
13:20
We were told by mental health to basically deny, uh, bringing him home, that if we were gonna accept him, that the hospital would obviously release him.
13:31
The nurse called us at, at 6:00 and said, "Well, we're gonna find him a place in a shelter then." I said, "Okay.
13:38
Well, I'll have to think through some things." We got a call back 30 minutes later and they said, "Well, we've sent him to the shelter." And I was like, "What are you talking about?" Like, that was...
13:48
We were blown away by that.
14:20
W- what should have happened instead?
