00:00 Thanks for joining us Brad, preparing for your first season in charge of Hamilton's
00:04 Tinkerers, how are you finding it so far?
00:06 Good, very excited and just really really pleased the local club have really got behind
00:11 us and the support around Hamilton has been fantastic.
00:14 And you're going to be starting pre-season too, can you tell me what the focus is?
00:17 Yes, so November 1 we start in training, so no doubt fitness is everyone's key at the
00:22 start of the year but we'll be really honing on just to one on one basic skills which we
00:25 want to develop leading into our game next year.
00:28 And you've got a pretty young list, what excites you most about that?
00:32 I just want to learn, they're jumping a bit to learn, they just want to involve their
00:36 game and involve the club and they're at it the whole time, they just want to learn.
00:41 And there's a big focus on community and local connections at the club, can you tell me why
00:45 that's so important to you?
00:47 I think all little small towns like Hamilton and that, footy clubs revolve around it, so
00:52 I think the main thing is we really want to try and make the community be a part of Hamilton
00:55 and Kangaroos.
00:56 And you've retired yourself, just going to focus on coaching, how are you feeling about
01:00 hanging up the move?
01:02 Yeah, no very excited, it's well overdue.
01:04 No worries, thank you.
01:06 No worries, thank you.
