Max Burgess on winning the Australia Cup and life with the Newcastle Jets

Transcript

00:00Hey Max, we're one week out from the start of the A-League season.

00:02Could you have returned and gone any better in the opening in two months?

00:05Not sure I could have. I'm really enjoying it, that's for sure.

00:09We've got a great special group of boys and just really enjoying it.

00:13Was that your first big piece of silverwood in the A-League?

00:16I'd won the Cup a couple of years ago in Sydney.

00:18But yeah, certainly a special day.

00:20Had some fam come down to Melbourne.

00:22But yeah, just really stoked we could do it for the fans.

00:25They were amazing for us on the night and looking forward to the season ahead.

00:29It all starts again on Sunday, mate. Is it a clean slate, so to speak?

00:32Nothing counts for anything regarding the Australia Cup?

00:36I think, you know, I think we can take a lot of confidence and positivity from that.

00:41But I've been super impressed with the way the boys have come back to training for about three days off.

00:46The intensity is high. Nothing's changed in our process.

00:50And I think everyone's ready to rip in on Sunday.
