Transcript

00:00 Me with Edgeworth player Aaron Apatosano, a trophy winner there a long time ago now,

00:05 or a few years ago now, but he's back at the club so that must be nice mate.

00:08 Yeah, good to be back, good club, good people.

00:10 So what's the big goal for the club this year?

00:12 Obviously, sort of been in the finals mix the last couple of years without quite getting there,

00:16 so I suppose that's an easy one.

00:18 Yeah, got to be in finals. Edgeworth used to win premierships, you know, as a standard,

00:22 and now it's sort of dropped out of the finals, so got to be back in finals,

00:25 got to be chasing premierships again. That's where the club needs to be.

00:28 And obviously coming into this year you have a lot of players sort of similar to last year,

00:33 but then with a few new ones, so what are the big changes for you guys?

00:36 I think we're a bit younger this year, I think we're a bit more mobile.

00:40 I'd say the core group has changed a bit, we've just got guys that want to work hard and run

00:45 and do the hard yards, so yeah, good young group.

00:49 A few like, marquee players, and I think, yeah, we've got good ingredients to go all the way.

00:54 Yeah, a couple of imports there, made a bit of interest to the competition.

00:56 Yeah, yeah, Seth Clark, he's come from the US, he's been unreal in pre-season,

01:01 good player, good attitude. And Theo, he's our Swedish boy, straight from Ikea,

01:07 and yeah, he's been unreal.

01:09 And who's been the most annoying team-mate in pre-season? That's always an interesting one.

01:14 The most annoying, I would say, Pat Wheeler, he complains about everything,

01:19 like nothing's good enough, or the champions aren't good enough, yeah.

01:23 The scuba doesn't escape it, there you go. Nice.

01:26 Thanks, Aaron. Cheers, all the best.
