00:00 How was your time for the Tigers?
00:02 Yeah, super. Super to get through today and get to the granny and hopefully we'll bring home the Chalkies next week.
00:08 How important was that good start by yourselves? That gave you a big advantage early and when you look back on this game, that was so important.
00:17 Yeah, definitely. It's always good to get off to a good start. It doesn't mean anything. Kepburn just kept coming and coming.
00:24 Getting a bit panicky for a minute but it's good to finish strong.
00:27 Yeah, it looked like the nerves were getting in. You've got a nice margin and then they came at you.
00:33 But that happened in the second quarter as well. You were 33 points up and they got that margin back within 13 points by half time.
00:40 So you would have known that they were just never going to go away.
00:43 Yeah, we always knew that. That's Kepburn for you. Keep chasing, keep coming. Like I said, it's just good to hold on and get through with big fans.
00:51 You play in the midfield, you play up forward. First of all, tell us about playing alongside, particularly young Paddy Glanford.
00:59 What a great job he did today. It was a great tussle, wasn't it, between himself and Sean Ty. But he just rucks all day.
01:07 No, he rucks all day. He's an absolute animal, Paddy. He's been super for us all year. We don't get clearances without Paddy.
01:12 He gives us the ball. So without him, us on ball is nothing really.
01:16 It was a good spread of midfielders today and it was a good performance. There were no real superstars or big performers in that midfield today.
01:24 But everyone contributed something.
01:26 Yeah, we all really did our job. Brando, Tomo, Kitty, Bobby. There was a lot to go through there. So, strong midfield. Good to get it done.
01:33 And playing up forward, you did the damage off your own boot early. Then you lost your radar a little bit.
01:39 But you're playing against the big fella in Stephen Staunton. While he didn't kick a bag today, it must give you a lot of confidence to have him up there.
01:48 The big body, bringing the ball to the ground and just opening up the space for you.
01:52 Yeah, it's good to get on a couple. Usually it is Storto, so happy to kick a couple. But hopefully we can keep going.
01:59 OK. Is the loss of last year's Grand Final, is that a real driving force for you personally?
02:04 Yeah, definitely. It's been in the back of my mind all year. So, we have to get there. But we're there now and hopefully we can get it done.
02:10 for you to get done.
