00:00 Indiana, how is Warners Bay shaping up?
00:02 Yeah, we're shaping up really good this year.
00:04 We've got a lot of potential and we're training really hard.
00:06 Obviously we had a bit of a rough season last season,
00:09 but the biggest thing is building up confidence for those girls that were in the team last year.
00:13 And yeah, we're going to be bigger and better this year.
00:15 Who has been a key pick-up for Warners Bay?
00:17 A key pick-up? Probably Emily Diaz, who's one of my good mates.
00:21 But yeah, she's able to absolutely flog a ball in and she's a great striker.
00:24 But I think our whole team has a lot of potential this year, which is good too.
00:28 We're just gelling really well together as well.
00:31 Who should we watch out for in your team and why?
00:34 Actually one of my fellow midfielders, Callie.
00:37 I think she's very underrated. She's a really great player.
00:40 I think that we combine really well together in the midfield as well.
00:43 She's a really hard worker and she's the captain with me as well.
00:45 Then obviously I have to say Emily Diaz as well, because she's my friend
00:48 and she'll probably roast me if I don't say her name.
00:51 But yeah, as well, so Emily Diaz.
00:52 But our whole team has a lot of potential as well and we just work really well together.
00:56 It's not a one-person team. It's a whole team together.
00:59 So it's very important to gel as well.
01:01 So I wouldn't rule anybody out of our side.
01:05 What will be your team's strength this year?
01:07 Definitely our supportive and positive environment.
01:10 I think that's very overlooked sometimes, but being in that supportive and positive environment
01:15 just brings out the best in your players.
01:17 Definitely since we did have a rough season last season.
01:19 So just building up the confidence in some of the young ones and some of the players
01:22 that were in last year makes a big difference.
01:25 The happiest person you can be is the best player on the field.
01:27 So I think that that's very important.
01:28 That's what we're getting, not just from your teammates,
01:30 but also from our coaching staff as well.
01:32 Who will be the team, other than yours, to beat this year?
01:37 I think every single team is going to look quite good.
01:39 You don't want to underestimate any team, but also every team can be beatable as well.
01:42 So I think we're just going to play our game and just worry about the team
01:46 that we're versing on that weekend and not worry about opposition
01:49 and all that kind of stuff, but just worry about ourselves.
01:51 So yeah.
