00:00 You guys were behind pretty much that whole game and you had a chance to snatch it there right at the end.
00:04 Yeah, I mean credit to the girls, yes, always coming in as underdogs at the moment.
00:08 But yeah, being able to have that fight, they're such a young group, so backing each other in, having that patience.
00:14 Coming into that last quarter I think it was four goals down, being able to be very disciplined and make those turnovers and almost get the win.
00:22 What got you back into the game do you think? I mean you did briefly take the lead there in about a minute to go, so it was a good chance there.
00:29 I think just the way the girls adapted to our changes. I think one of our strengths is the depth we have.
00:35 I mean we've got 11 girls who can play nearly every position on the court and we're just really finding those combinations that you think.
00:41 So in that last quarter, taking a breath when we got the turnover and capitalising and credit to our shooters who, yeah, their accuracy really came up.
00:48 They didn't miss. They didn't miss all day, did they? Yeah, yeah, credit to them. They worked hard to sort of get that up.
00:52 Except for that one that would have put you two up, I think. Yeah, that one hurt a little bit but that's okay.
00:56 But credit to them. They worked really hard on their accuracy and it's getting there.
01:01 And that's your second draw. It is. That's going to ruin your percentages now. You had that told sorted then.
01:06 The girls, we just said, we're really chasing that four points. So technically we haven't had a win this year and I think by next week, we'll be playing better look out.
01:13 You're not doing much wrong, are you? I mean, a result either way there, that can make a big difference at the end of the year. So two points could be it.
01:22 Yeah, grateful for the two, but tell you what, we're hungry for the fourth. Fantastic.
01:26 Who did you sort of see as your best players out there today? Today I thought our goal shooter, Stacey, really stood up.
01:31 She's really tried to work on her accuracy and I think she owned that goal ring today.
01:35 And yeah, absolutely proud of her for the way she handled the physicality and brought that in as well. Fantastic.
