Transcript

00:00Thanks for joining us Joe, the match winner here today in the first semi-final for Terrang

00:04Mortlake, kicking the winner pretty much on the siren, how are you feeling?

00:08Yeah, still a bit, I'm not sure what went on there, it all happened pretty quick but

00:12yeah, I knew there wasn't long left, they started the clock a couple of minutes late

00:17so I knew I sort of probably had to have a shot but then yeah, we didn't know if the

00:21siren went or it hadn't went but then yeah, Ryan O'Connor reckons he heard it as the

00:25ball was going through so that was a bit of a relief but yeah, it was a fairly decent

00:30game anyway, it was sort of up and down with that wind and yeah, we just hit the lead at

00:34the right time I suppose.

00:35And can you run us through your goal?

00:37No, not really, I knew it was only me out there that some fella tried to tackle me,

00:42I knew he fell over so, and I knew there was no one else out there so I just had to get

00:46up as quick as I could and just whacked it on the boot really and yeah, the wind brought

00:50it through nice, it was good.

00:51What does this mean for you, captain of the club, you're now into a pre-limb in the most

00:55spectacular fashion?

00:56Yeah, oh well, it's pretty good I suppose for the back two towns, especially when you're

01:01down all day, it probably looked like we were out of the game there for most of it but we

01:05knew once we had them off in that third quarter that we could peg it back but yeah, probably

01:09didn't want to leave it to the last three seconds like we did but anyway.

01:13And what does it mean for the club and the two towns that you mentioned to be back to

01:16back pre-limbs?

01:17Yeah, well it is a bit of an accomplishment but we want to try and go obviously a couple

01:21better than what we did last year when we made the pre-limb and obviously coming up

01:24against South who are a good side obviously so yeah, we'll just get ready for that and

01:29have another crack at it.

01:30No worries, we'll let you go and celebrate.

01:31Yeah, thanks, nice seeing you.
