00:00 So I'm here with late Victoria player Billy Furlow who's coming back from last season as well with the club.
00:05 So mate, big one for the club with promotion and relegation coming back.
00:10 What's some of the goals for the team that's been discussed in pre-season?
00:15 I think obviously with promotion and relegation being back, I think avoiding that relegation spot is definitely something that every team is going to want to achieve.
00:24 But I think we're just really excited to compete this season. We have a very young squad, been working really hard in pre-season and I think we're just excited to see if we play well the results will come and we're just excited to see how far that will take us.
00:37 And obviously you've got a new coach, new players coming from different areas. But you were there last year, so what are the big changes we can expect from the team this year?
00:48 I think we're playing a more set formation. A lot of things changed last year throughout the season. Our squad was changing, formations changed. I think you're going to see a very specific style this season that we're going to play.
01:01 And we have a lot of new players from different areas that are going to add a lot to our squad. So yeah, it's exciting.
01:08 And one to watch for there amongst the new boys?
01:11 There's quite a few. There's the Field Twins from up at North Coast that have come down. They're really playing well at the moment. And then a couple of boys from the coast and Tapgura up top. There's quite a few players to look out for this season.
01:28 Nice. And just a funny one to finish, who's been your most annoying team-mate during the pre-season?
01:34 That's a tough one. The skipper Isaac Nijmen in goals has been a bit frustrating this season for me, but I think it's getting a bit better.
01:45 Goalkeepers, eh?
01:46 Yeah.
01:47 They're different breeds.
01:48 Alright, thanks mate. Cheers.
