00:12I think when I reflect the first game, I always also reflect to being a young girl playing footy and not necessarily having a pathway and how many young girls we see now have opportunities.

00:44It felt like, yeah, it's just something that I've never felt before. It genuinely felt like people were not just called on Collingwood's borders.
00:54They were there to witness something that they probably never thought they would see and you could feel that emotion with everything that happened during the game.
01:04And even now when I meet different people, often they'll say, oh, I was at the game, I was sitting in this spot and I was crying the whole time.

01:17I was like, I did this guys so you can't be a good lady, I was talking about pulling more people.
01:26And eventually it's the guy, so you could feel the singer, you could do a magic too.
01:34And I've got the thing to do is I wasn't allowed to see and it's a dramatic personality and it's también with what Iелest playing role.
