00:00 Can you tell us a little bit about making that decision to come back and I think the concussions that you'd been through, I guess it wouldn't have been an easy decision to make?
00:09 No, it wasn't. It's probably a selfish one. I feel like I kind of got to the point where I realised that the concussion sucks for me, but it sucks probably more for the people around me.
00:18 So it's a bit selfish coming back in my head, but I think I kind of wanted to. It's a bit scary, but I think it's stupid, but it's probably an issue for tomorrow rather than today.
00:33 And what's it been like coming back to the A-League and your first two games back in that I guess step up again in intensity?
00:40 It's good. It's changed a little bit of how intense it's got over the last few years. I've been around it for a while, so it's not a huge step, but I think it's definitely a step from NPL.
00:57 And what are your goals, I guess, personally and for the team for the rest of the campaign?
01:00 I really want to make finals. I know everybody says they want to win, but I would just love to make finals. I think we haven't made finals since I was last here. So hopefully make finals, hopefully make the semi-final and then a final. Hopefully win it. Personally, I just want to make finals. Yeah, focus on the Jets.
01:19 The Matildas case...
