"He's someone I've watched since I was young" - Warner

Hear from Chad Warner as he addresses the media ahead of our Round 16 clash with the Bulldogs.

"Yeah, very excited, I think to play against such an in-form team as well, it's exactly what I want to be playing in too, and I think to have this journey with all the boys that I have so far, I'm very excited for Friday night," he said.

"To be honest, it's pretty weird to think that it's come around already and coming from Perth, not knowing what was going to be happening after that and not knowing even if I was going to play one game.

"So I'm so grateful, first of all, I guess, for the chance to be given by the club and then so grateful to be valued so much within a footy club and a community as well. It's honestly just so exciting, but I can't wait to see the next 100 or so, hopefully. "
