00:00 Well Libby, I think before this season you had one goal in the A-League, added a couple more.
00:05 What do you put it down to this year? I think I'm just enjoying my football to be honest.
00:09 It was nice to go away for I think three years. I had two years at Wanderers and then obviously
00:15 overseas in England and now I'm kind of like settled and back at home. I just feel like
00:20 there's no pressure, like I'm not trying to get anywhere essentially and yeah I'm just enjoying
00:25 my football. The goal on the weekend, did you feel like you were just right place, right time?
00:30 Definitely, the layoff was perfect. I was talking to Serena about it the other day
00:34 and yeah it was just the perfect way to pass and yeah managed to go in the back of the net.
00:38 Ryan said he was kind of particularly happy after the game that it had come off a set piece. He said
00:44 that's something that Leo has been working on since he's come into the environment. Yeah,
00:49 definitely. We take pride in our set pieces. I think we still need to be better at them but
00:55 they're a great chance to score goals so we need to be better at them I think. Do you think the
01:00 Jets are showing they've got a lot of strings to their bows this season in terms of the way
01:04 they score goals? Yeah, definitely and I feel like we have a lot of different goal scorers as well
01:08 which is really helpful. You've got Mel who's still not fully fit and we all know she's a
01:14 goal scorer but yeah I definitely think there's a lot of people in our team that can score goals.
01:20 Speaking of goal scorers, Serena, do you think she can be the golden boot,
01:25 the leading scorer by the end of this season? Definitely, I've got my money on it.
01:28 What do you make of Michelle Heyman I guess as well coming into the Matilda squad today? Yeah,
01:34 yeah it's good for her. I think she's been working on it for a while. She's been playing well. She's
01:40 a natural goal scorer but yeah it's good for her. I'm happy for her.
