00:00 Thanks for joining us boys. Now officially AFL players, best mates making it on the big time. How are you feeling?
00:08 Yeah I'm feeling a lot of emotions right now. Just soaking it all in. To share it with George and his family was such a cool experience and something I'll remember forever.
00:20 Yeah it's a pretty exciting feeling waking up this morning and as you mentioned having that title as an AFL player now. As Lamont said to share it with him and see him go before me.
00:31 Although I was still nervous I was so excited and so pumped. Now we're official AFL players although from different teams. So pumped for him and so excited.
00:40 Lamont you were a bit nervous waiting for George's name to be called out. What does it mean to you to see him get picked up?
00:45 Yeah it was a bit of a long wait. I was certainly nervous for him and the rest of the family were pretty nervous. But I'm happy to see him at Geelong and he was wishing for that result.
00:57 So glad for him and all the work he's done and all the work we've done together has worked off and I can't wait to see him in the blue and white.
01:05 And how do you think each other will go at the big time?
01:09 Yeah I think Lamont's got it covered. He's got the athletic traits that will stand up no worries at AFL level. I think for the both of us having worked together a lot we love our training and learning and things like that.
01:21 So no doubt once he gets into a full time AFL environment and is able to grow via some coaches and things like that then he'll have no issues at all playing. Hopefully the only issues he has is against Geelong.
01:32 And Lamont what are you looking forward to seeing George do at the Cats?
01:36 I think for me just being himself. He's such a cool character I think and such a humbling person. He's still fun and easy to chat to and I'm sure he'll make a great change to the culture and continue developing his footy.
01:55 Just super stoked for him and excited to see what comes.
01:59 No worries, thanks guys. Good luck.
02:01 Thanks so much.
