remember it forever so thank you [Applause] oh [Music] oh think about [Applause] with our actions right it's not going to be the big play that's going to win us tonight i mean a little effort areas we're going to be more aggressive than that enthusiasm right let's play our footy storm footy all right let's introduce [Music] [Music] i sort of had an idea i'd get on the first half but i didn't realize it was going to be that quick obviously um but it was probably a good thing in the end i didn't didn't have much time to think about it it was just get up and go on pretty much obviously the the start was pretty slow um they they were winning at half time and then we had to eventually come back that second half and i guess it was a good way to win really we just stuck in there and um went back to playing our footy that we trained all pre-season for and then yeah obviously it was a good wine [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you unreal honestly unreal i don't know what to say dream come true just so good just glad we got the job done and got to win on the debut honestly so stoked love this club so happy to be here obviously uh kingy means and zave made their club debut um but yeah i was i was lucky enough to share my debut with alec and um he had a ripper of a game and obviously he's he's taken the opportunity he's played every game since and he's been massive for the for the team so far so yeah it was i was stoked to share um share that moment with him and um yeah we had a few conversations before the game sort of tapping each other and saying that's actually happening um yeah so that made it a bit easier i guess like i said before a fair few years in the in the making really and yeah it was pretty satisfying [Music]
