Chris RogersGUEST
It was almost, okay, well, who is available? But I think the good thing about what we've been doing is we've been We've been building depth and we've been seeing some growth from within.
Chris RogersGUEST
And, for instance, I think Liam Blackford is,
Adam WhiteHOST
you
Chris RogersGUEST
know, it was a bit of an, as I've said to a few people, it was an overnight sensation that's been years in the making.
Adam WhiteHOST
Oh, you know, you've got to get more Victorians in the national team and in and around the squad.
Adam WhiteHOST
And now it's happened and it leaves you a little vulnerable where you do have to draw on the depth.
Adam WhiteHOST
And that's where Liam Blackford and Harry Hookster have come through just in this pre-season.
Chris RogersGUEST
Yeah.
Chris RogersGUEST
It was almost, "Okay, well, who is available?" Um- Uh, but I, I think the, the good thing about what we've been doing is we've been, we've been building depth, um, a- and we've been seeing some growth from within.
Chris RogersGUEST
And, and for instance, I think Liam Blackford is-
Adam WhiteHOST

Chris RogersGUEST
... you know, he, it, it was a bit of an over- as I've said to a few people, it was an overnight sensation that's been years in the making.
Chris RogersGUEST
Um, a- and you know, we, we feel we've got a, a lot of really, really good talent in Victoria, um, who, who have been grinding away, and hopefully if they get given the opportunity, they'll, they'll, they'll do a really good job.
Adam WhiteHOST
It's a good problem to have, isn't it? I mean, there's been frustration, I know from SCN listeners, "Oh, you know, gotta get more Victorians in the, in the, in the national team and, and in around the squad," and now it's happened.
Adam WhiteHOST
And it, it, it leaves you a little vulnerable, where you do have to draw on the depth and, and that's where Liam Blackford and, and Harry Hoekstra have, have, have come through just in this preseason.
Chris RogersGUEST
Yeah.
John AndersonCORRESPONDENT
So it's exciting that Sammy Harper.
John AndersonCORRESPONDENT
And then you've got Liam Blackford, who I mentioned to you the other day, the Geelong boy, keeper, batsman.
John AndersonCORRESPONDENT

Both can play as batsmen.
Henry BurkeGUEST
minus is bowling cost in the game.

Adam CollinsHOST
And this, and this guy, uh, Liam Blackford, like they, they put in the press release about him when he was making his debut, you know, 22-year-old left-handed bat wicket-keeper, but has gone through some enormous challenges, and I had a quick squiz as to what they were.

I mean, he had blood clots which led to a rib removal, and he nearly lost an arm.
Adam CollinsHOST
Like this guy's gone through the wringer over the last couple of years.

149 not out of 113 balls.
MattHOST
so but yeah that means going into the future there's definitely
Isaac BeachGUEST
an opportunity for that and I think like I'm not just going to try and pick up all of all of your boys all of the boys or anything but I think like Liam Blackford's is a good example of an attempt at that I don't know if it's any good yet because I haven't read it and I'll be perfectly honest if I ever do review it but
MattHOST
um And that, and you know, all of the boys would expect that from anything that you read as well.
