00:00 with Connor Byrne, a Kuroi footballer, you've played a great game for the Greater Western
00:06 Victoria Rebels today, how does it feel to get the win, particularly on a home deck here
00:11 in Warrnambool?
00:12 Yeah, no it was pretty good, finally get one game down in Warrnambool, it's pretty hard
00:17 for us boys, travelling up every week and get a game down here and win like that, it's
00:20 pretty good.
00:21 Do you expect to have such a dominant performance from the team to win by about 10 goals against
00:27 Quality Geelong side?
00:28 Yeah, well we came into this game pretty thinking it was going to be a close game and yeah,
00:32 it's blown away, pretty good.
00:33 And you said you kicked five goals, how did you feel yourself performing in the forward
00:34 line and anything that you put down to be able to get on the end of a few goals today?
00:44 Oh yeah, just work hard and being at the front of packs helped me out today, got lucky.

00:58 Yeah, we've got a few Kuroi Saints boys here and a few mates which is good and family.
01:01 And you've got eight local guys in the Rebels team today, do you feel like everyone stood
01:08 up?
01:09 Oh definitely, everyone stood up, to win like that and then Quality side in Geelong was
01:12 pretty good.
