00:00 Four wins out of four, must be enjoying your time at Daleswood, no?
00:04 It's very exciting mate, very exciting.
00:07 I've come here, we got told by all the boys that have played here for years and struggled
00:10 for a few wins, so the club's really embracing the new players that have come in.
00:14 It's been a bit of a turnover, six of us from Werribee to be exact, so yeah, pretty exciting.
00:20 Tell us about the battle out there today.
00:23 Tight all day, seesawing, you guys get away, Liam Monford come back, they get away, you
00:28 came back, and it was really a game that was up for grabs right to the last two or three
00:32 minutes.
00:33 It felt like it was on a knife's edge the whole game.
00:35 Like you said, we went into a couple goals lead and they pulled it back.
00:38 It felt like we'd get the momentum, we'd capitalise, and when you think we were about to run away,
00:42 they'd get the momentum back.
00:45 And that last quarter, to be honest, it felt like they were all over us.
00:48 But I'm so proud of our boys, we really bunkered down that last quarter, stoppage after stoppage,
00:53 Jordan Schroder was massive in that last quarter for us.
00:55 But yeah, proud, very proud of the boys.
00:58 Yeah, new competition for yourself and those team mates that have come along from Werribee
01:02 District.
01:03 So every game's a new experience, different grounds, different players you're playing
01:08 against, so it's all a bit of taste and see what it's like.
01:13 But one player you must be delighted to be playing alongside is the big fella Ben Jones.
01:17 What a game he had today.
01:19 Amazing, real.
01:20 And he is just a giant out there, isn't he?
01:22 Mate, he's a superstar.
01:23 Blokes like that make you play taller.
01:25 Whatever bloke 200 centimetres, clunks them anywhere on the ground, it's huge.
01:29 He goes forward, he clunks them, kicks down the line, he clunks them, just relieves pressure
01:33 all day.
01:34 Yeah, he was immense today.
01:35 A bit about yourself, you're playing almost a high forward, you're starting on a wing,
01:40 but I'll tell you what, you like a bit of a run into the forward line and I think you
01:44 like a goal.
01:45 I don't mind a snag, I don't mind a snag.
01:47 Yeah, so I predominantly play wing, but rotate forward, that's pretty much my route, I want
01:53 to rotate forward.
01:54 But yeah, predominantly wing.
01:55 And you've got plenty of experienced runners in there alongside you, so you must be starting
01:59 after four games now, just to get a bit of a method and a bit of a feel for each other's
02:05 games.
02:06 Yeah, that's right.
02:07 With the amount of turnover in play as a new group, I think we always said from the start
02:11 of the pre-season, it's going to take us probably six to eight weeks to really gel.
02:14 So to bank these wins early is massive for us.
02:17 We fully expect to get better as the year goes on because you learn how blokes play.
02:21 So yeah, we're really excited about how we're tracking at the moment.
