“It’s obviously very exciting. I am just over the moon that I will be able to go out there this weekend with a great group of boys and hopefully get the win,” he told Melbourne Media.
“Gawny (Max Gawn) announced the news out in the middle of the ground. To have all the boys get around me and jump all over me was pretty cool and I am just excited for the weekend.
JJ gets his chance. 🤩
