Ryan, uh, what are, what are some of the strengths that Billy had as a, a partner on or off the court?

Um, so I, I was thinking about that one as well.

I think one of the main things for Billy was super versatile, right? Like, um, when I think about, like, my game, like, I was very good at some things and then very mediocre in a lot of things.

So if you were to kind of game plan against me, there was a lot of kind of areas where you would naturally just go.

Like, "We're gonna try to attack these w- weaknesses." Billy was just vers- he could do everything well, which made game planning against him really challenging.

I mean, I played with him for a few terms.

I played against him probably a lot more, and there was never a clear cut, "This is how we should attack this guy," 'cause, you know, he could do a little bit of everything.

[laughs]

Why did you pick Redcliffe?

Um, I guess I sort of had 12 months all sort of after, after I finished up at Imps.

I sort of had just had 12 months just to have a bit of a think about and reassess what I wanted to do, and, um, yeah, Redcliffe gave us a call sort of midway through the season.

That was when Chris, Chris Lee was coaching.

Um, just to sort of see whether I was interested in just coming and helping out, um, on the bench.

So I said, "Oh look, I probably wasn't really too keen on, on maybe just going in a bench role," but I don't know, it just sort of, um, got me intrigued just by, um, you know, how they're kinda going, and I was sort of just, you know, looking from afar, like looking at their results and that sort of thing.

I think they were, you know, I think they won five or six games for the year that year.

But, you know, since arriving at Redcliffe, what's been the biggest priorities in, in building the playing group and club culture? Like, what have you tried to do? What's been your impact at the footy club? 'Cause you've been there quite a while and things are going well now, but it would've taken some time to build that.

But tell us a little bit about your background and how you ended up involved in the industrial hemp space.

Yeah, absolutely.

I appreciate it.

And thank you for bringing light and excitement to this plant and all of its uses.

Yes.

I got really fortunate.

Timing is everything when trying to bring things together.

No, it's different varieties.
