Quotes

"Canberra's always been a big AFL mecca and there's a lot of kids who play AFL football there so to have a team to identify with is really important and I hope it enhances the local league, which has been very influential in my career. There's no doubt that NSW and Canberra, with that population, needed a team of their own they could follow. It's positive for people in Canberra to have a team they can identify with and call their own."
