Joel McCarthy said he wanted to prioritise his liver and wallet.

“Hopefully (in 2024) I stay off the piss and am successful in making a lot of money,” he said.

Mr McCarthy said he was keen to improve his health.

“I would like to actually get fit by improving my diet and going to the gym – I don’t think I’ll miss all the parties and piss to be honest,” he said.

“So yeah, get healthy, save money and stop being a gronk.”

Best mates Kaydan and Keenan agreed their top resolution was to “start being adults”.

“(I want) to get massive, you know, and, honestly, get a missus that’s good for (me) – proper,” Kayden said.

Keenan added two more objectives.

“I want to stop going to town and start getting better at the gym, focus on work (and) all that stuff.”
