00:00 Well an important four points out of today's game.

00:06 Yeah, 100%.

00:07 You know, the good thing about football, seven days later you get to rectify your mistakes

00:11 and get four points and we came away with the job done today.

00:15 You did a few things different through a few players around, tell us about that.

00:18 Yeah, so I just changed a few roles up, just tried to shake a few things up like we spoke

00:21 about earlier in the week.

00:24 Dill Bullis went back, Parra went on ball, Nunney and KT went forward and they all embraced

00:29 the role change and showed that you just play your role as part of the team.

00:32 If 22 blokes do that, good things happen.

00:34 So that's going to give you flexibility, whether you go with those roles again next week, you've

00:38 now got the choice and perhaps some ideas you can throw around mid-game.

00:43 Yeah, it's good to have some flexibility in the coaches box so that if something's not

00:46 working you can always change things up and guys are equipped to play multiple roles.

00:52 If you've got two or three strings to your bow it's much better than having one.

00:56 Your recruits have brought another dimension to the side this year, particularly I think

01:02 you've got a bit more outside run.

01:04 Yeah, so Marshall Murray, Dill Evans, Brandon Davidson, sort of a recruiter who was injured

01:08 majority of last year, gives us that outside speed and then gives us that front half pressure

01:13 that we want to turn the footy back over as quickly as possible.

01:16 And no shortage of big blokes and today we could see that.

01:18 I mean obviously it's not an area of strength for both of them as far as big man power goes

01:24 but you're able to utilise that and give a look at perhaps what a big three prong forward

01:30 to tackle type.

01:31 Yeah, so rested Kasper forward instead of coming to the bench today.

01:35 We switched Logan Hales around in the last quarter so went from back to forward just

01:40 to see what he'd be like up there in case we need to change a few things around.

01:44 Matt Miller keeps applying himself as that second ruckman and then obviously Clarke,

01:47 he plays predominantly forward role all day.

01:50 So now you can sort of reset yourself and get ready for some big assignments ahead.

01:55 Yeah, Hepburn next week, always a good challenge.

01:56 Play for the Shield so hopefully we can win that.

01:59 I think it's been a while since we've won it so fingers crossed we can get the job done.
