00:00That was, as I say, a big day for the club, a great result.

00:03Football and netball both got the win.

00:04I think it's the first time you've done the double this year.

00:06Yeah, first time for the double, so it's great.

00:09You know, really reward for effort for the boys.

00:11You know, I felt like, you know, we've been a little inconsistent with our form, let's be honest.

00:16But in a sense, we've always been in games, which is a good sign.

00:19Always there close enough to win it.

00:21And, yeah, the last two weeks have been great to see the evolution of our game.

00:25You know, we've got the reward state, which is good.

00:27What's clicked in the last two weeks that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago when I spoke to you?

00:31Well, it definitely helps having a ruckman.

00:32So Ken McCallum, I think, has made a big difference just with his presence, even around the training.

00:38And even though we didn't have him today, there's still that sense that he'll be back.

00:41So no doubt our mids are feeling a little bit better.

00:44But, yeah, I think, you know, our ball movement is getting better slowly.

00:48And we're starting to find, you know, what that looks like.

00:52And, you know, the great thing is, I think we've built some consistency with our effort around the ball.

00:57Which is good.

00:58Your start was pretty impressive too today.

01:00I mean, kicking into that breeze and kick five goals against it.

01:03That sort of set up the game for you, didn't it?

01:05Yeah, absolutely.

01:06Yeah.

01:06And, look, you know, we really dived into the history of the club.

01:09And I think the boys loved that.

01:10It's great to hear stories about the past and success.

01:13And, you know, we're all fortunate enough to wear the jumper, right?

01:16And, you know, we're all caretakers.

01:18We're borrowing it.

01:19So that was the real theme around it.

01:21We wanted to make sure we did our past players really proud.

01:24And showed them what a tough and attacking brand looks like.

01:27And, yeah, I think they got to see it.

01:28And, obviously, as you say, Dali next week, though, the test will come now.

01:32You've had a couple of good wins.

01:33You've now got to frank it, don't you, with a good performance next week.

01:36Yeah, this will be a challenge.

01:37We're going to have a couple of guys away.

01:39Unfortunately, Harry loaded getting married.

01:42So we're going to have Elliot and both Brock Leonard out.

01:45But, look, you know, that comes with footy.

01:46So it'll give a few boys opportunities inside to, you know, step up and play a good brand.

01:51But, yeah, I'm really looking forward to next week.

01:52It'll be great to see where we're at.

01:54Awesome.
