00:00 win at the start of the day you probably would have taken that. Yeah yeah we played probably
00:06 I'd say three quarters of really good footing we had a little patch in the third quarter there
00:11 a funny club and I've always said that to our group about Redan Footy Club is we respect them
00:18 because they have the capacity to have moments and passages of play where they sort of catch
00:23 fire out of nowhere and they're very much a confidence team and they did that. I think
00:28 probably the learning for our boys is that they don't have to be perfect all the time just
00:32 keep grinding away and the basics of our game
00:35 weren't there you know our contests fell away a little bit not even not effort it was just more
00:42 a little bit of technical stuff you know fighting through the tackle
00:45 not letting the ball go on the tackle we got a bit fancy with the ball and a bit reactive but
00:52 to their credit as I said to them just then they recalibrated and got back to playing well which
00:57 was good to see. Are they a bit of a perfectionist team you know because I'm sitting there looking at
01:01 them and there wasn't a lot of smiles I mean at the same time I mean you've got to enjoy your
01:05 wins when you have them don't you? No they're a quiet group they're not a that they they
01:10 aim to please they're young by virtue we're not a vocal group we work them alike and they
01:18 they do really enjoy each other's company and I'm sure they were probably that's only country
01:23 not only I shouldn't say it's only country footy it's country footy but they still you know they
01:28 have standards and expectations of themselves and each other and sometimes when they don't meet them
01:32 but that's probably not doing this not doing service to Redan either and the old days they
01:38 used to say took the game right up. I think Redan are very much in the mix and they had a young side
01:42 out there as well as as you did today. Yeah you know and they've got talent they've always as I
01:46 said they've always been able to find a spark somewhere and kick goals and but we sort of to
01:54 control the game for three quarters was pleasant. That third quarter I mean it was probably just
01:58 that last 10 minutes where they got they went bang bang bang straight out of the middle a
02:01 couple of times. Yeah yeah yeah. What sort of happened there? No our basics just as I spoke about our basics and we lost
02:06 lost our shape around the ball that balance we were sort of and there's no doubt I think they
02:12 said on the radio before the game they thought they could try and get through us on the outside
02:16 of the contest and that's what they did and we enabled it in a way because the more they did it
02:22 the more we sort of hunted into the football so I'm not a perfectionist coach so there's some
02:30 growth there I don't split the atom after a game with them we'll have a look at a couple of bits
02:34 of vision during the week and get to work on it but it's not a biggie yet our contest has stacked
02:39 up for a long time now we'll be fine. A few sore boys out there I felt for us sort of arts at three
02:44 quarter time was on the bike didn't sort of go in and he's probably gonna be down for a while. Who's
02:48 that? Oh it's Sam Arts. No Sammy will be all right, Cookie was sore on the foot, he'll be all right.
02:52 Harry got a cork. Yep. Though not injuries that are going to set them back but if you take them
02:58 off straight away. Annoying sort of. Yeah well they were incapacitated but if you take them off straight away
03:03 they'll cook everyone else so they're right to get through the game. You happy with where you are?
03:08 Yeah. Yeah you're happy you're happy with the way things are going? We had a close loss to Melbourne
03:13 played ourselves out of it and played ourselves back into it
03:17 could have would have sugar at the end had chances to to win it as they did
03:23 the Sunbury game is a write-off because of where we were at physically that day
03:30 but other than that we we turn up most weeks but we're pretty solid club we work
03:34 on like we're honest we're organized and we did it again today. Keeping the job going.
