00:00If you were to describe the grand final in five words, what would you describe it as?
00:11Very, very, very, very terrifying.
00:13Why is it very, very terrifying?
00:15Well, because at the start, like, we burst these girls before and we lost to them.
00:21And then we were really scared at the start, but once we got on the field, it got easier.
00:28Because, like, we love soccer and it, like, it felt really calming.
00:33And who scored the goal?
00:35Chloe.
00:36And can you tell me, what was the goal that you scored?
00:39Like, what was the moment that happened leading up to it?
00:42So I was, like, running up and I was, like, thoughts were going, like, should I pass?
00:46Should I shoot? And I was, like, what should I do?
00:48And then I was, like, I'm just going to go for it because I've been told take long shots.
00:51I took it and it went through and I was, like, oh my gosh, I didn't realise that would happen.
00:56And it was just an amazing moment.
00:58That's really good. And what about the second half?
01:01That second half was extremely tense.
01:03Lots of screaming, lots of shouting.
01:06What was going through your minds in that second half?
01:08Don't let them score.
01:09Don't let them score.
01:10Kick the ball out.
01:12And what about Canberra?
01:14Did you guys, have you guys had a lot of fun coming up from Tasmania?
01:17Yeah, it was so fun.
01:18What's your favourite part of Canberra, would you say?
01:23Just coming with my friends.
01:25Just coming with your friends.
01:26Have you guys had, like, any team dinners or anything?
01:29We're having one tonight and we had pizza last night.
01:32And because we've won, we get McDonald's for lunch instead.
01:35That's so exciting.
01:37Okay, and one final question.
01:40Do you guys, do you guys look up to the Matildas?
01:45Yes.
01:46Do you one day want to be like the Matildas?
01:48Yes, definitely.
01:49Who, let's go round, who's your favourite player?
01:51Katrina Ghori.
01:52Katrina Ghori.
01:53Ellie Carpenter.
01:54Hayley Raffo.
01:55And why do we like those players so much?
01:58Well, I like Katrina Ghori because she has such a strong group
02:01and lots of people say, because she's called Mini G.
02:04My last name's G, so lots of people call me Mini G.
02:07So, she's just like an inspiration for me.
02:10I just like her because I play defence and she is a defence player.
02:14And I look up to her because she's like always locking the ball's hands up
02:18and, like, I just, she's really cool.
02:21Beautiful.
02:22I look up to Vanessa because she's quick with the ball
02:25and she's got a good strike and she can put the ball in the net a lot.
02:31And would you say that you guys want to play like your idols?
02:35Like, how you just played was how you want to play like your idols?
02:38Yeah.
