00:00 joined by Kalora Norratt's Nick Marshall, mate, went right down to the wire, how are you feeling?

00:04 Yeah, very relieved. Ross was pretty good on the quality side, but they got him a run,

00:08 they definitely got some momentum up in that second half, so we were under the

00:13 pump, but just managed to tag a few goals late and get up.

00:16 They got a lead of probably just over a goal there for a bit in the last, were you a bit worried or did you always have faith?

00:21 Not worried, we've got some really solid engines in the middle there, I knew they were going to win the next set of outs,

00:28 so kept on backing them in to win it forward for us, and got the Maloney brothers and Sammy Hewell on the gremlin,

00:34 so they worked really hard for us in the middle of the day, so I was confident they'd be able to resurrect it

00:39 and get it back forward for us, and yeah, fast forward to manage to finish it off,

00:43 because we were voiding with massive there in the last couple of clutch goals, so really good.

00:46 Do you think having some of those more experienced players helped you in the big games like today?

00:50 Yeah, absolutely, definitely, they create a calmness across the team, but also the young boys,

00:55 I think they helped run out the game for us, the source of the Darcy and Fred there in the last quarter,

00:59 just running it off hard to back, which is really crucial in those tight, long games,

01:03 so yeah, to get that run from those young boys as well as the steady heads of the older boys is a nice balance.

01:09 And your coach said you're not done yet, do you have the belief like this group?

01:13 Yeah, absolutely, I think there's a nice balance between the young and the older heads,

01:17 so if we can maintain that and get our bodies right each week and maintain that momentum going forward,

01:23 I think it's a big chance for us going forward.

01:25 And Pem you next week, should we have a clash?

01:28 Yeah, absolutely, they've had a number of couple of times this year, but I think if we get our match-ups right

01:33 and play the way that we can at our best, we can definitely match them and take it on.

01:38 Sounds good, good luck next week.
