00:00 Well, Lockie, it must have been a crazy night at home when your name came out, Port Adelaide,

00:04 calling you in the National Draft.

00:05 No, it was unreal.

00:06 Unreal night, unbelievable.

00:07 I'm very thankful for the opportunity from the Port Adelaide Football Club.

00:11 I had all the family and friends over last night to celebrate the night with me and it

00:15 was definitely a night that I'll remember for the rest of my life.

00:18 Certainly becomes a whirlwind, doesn't it?

00:19 Definitely, definitely.

00:20 It was not too short to think about now, I still pinch myself, but yeah, I woke up in

00:25 AFL football so can't be happier.

00:27 And already you've had messages from players and you've had a chat with the coach?

00:30 Yeah, I've had a couple of messages from players like Zach Butters, Connor Ose, all those sort

00:35 of boys that are obviously powerhouses in the AFL and had a chat to Ken Inkeley as well,

00:40 which was pretty surreal.

00:42 So what's the most exciting part of this venture for you, apart from the fact that you'll be

00:46 living in a new city?

00:47 Probably just getting to meet new friends, new relationships and seeing where my footy

00:52 can go over the next couple of years.

00:55 What's your message to everyone at East Point where you've spent your juniors and you've

00:59 also had a taste of senior football?

01:01 Yeah, just listen to your coaches, soak it all in, they all have a different point of

01:06 view and just don't forget where you're coming from and enjoy it while it lasts.
