00:00 Thanks for joining us Cole, your 150th game for the club today and a massive win against
00:04 Campadown, how are you feeling? Yeah great, 150 games is pretty special and to get a good
00:11 win on sponsors day and a big crowd and Campadown third there on top of the
00:15 ground and we played unreal. Can't really say much, it was a bloody good game.
00:21 And for yourself, you've had your injury woes over the last few years, broken leg and whatnot, how are you
00:26 feeling now, sliding back into the back line? It's good, yeah, injuries are coming as I get
00:31 older and hopefully that's all the injuries gone, well hopefully, but
00:36 yeah the back line, we really jelled well today, having Sandy Robertson, 6 foot 5, just
00:41 play a role and one of the best forwards in the club, Sammy Gordon, it makes my life a lot easier because I don't want to be playing on Sammy.
00:49 So yeah, we were good to have Sandy and us back six or seven to jell real well.
00:54 And you've got some good young players coming through who played important roles today, what's it like watching them progress?
00:59 Oh unreal, there's probably five or six under 18s in that scene, Oscar Pollock, you don't even look at him as an under 18 anymore, he's probably one of our best five players in the scene.
01:10 Shader, he played that loose role in defence last quarter, you show his ability, just run and carry and yeah, they're all confidence driven and as soon as they get that confidence they're pretty hard to stop.
01:22 So all five or six of them were pretty outstanding today.
01:26 And obviously it was a tough year for the club last year, no wins, the senior forfeit, but everything's turned around dramatically, what's the vibe like now?
01:33 Oh well you can see today how many supporters are out, the vibes unreal, you wouldn't think we were winless in forfeit and games last year with the way we're showing up this year.
01:43 It's a credit to all the people behind the scenes, Dusty and his crew, committee, general committee, president, put the right people in the right spaces and places and we're showing that you can turn it around pretty quickly.
01:56 Alright, well thanks Colin, congratulations.
01:58 Yeah thanks Justine, cheers.
