It's all about what's to come. 52 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: This season is going to be your season. And I 53 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: think a mini motivated coming in but have a really 54 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: big impact on them. It reminds them of when they 55 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: first got to playing footy. They reconnect that fire in 56 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: them and that's what they need right now. They need 57 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: their fires to be lit.
