00:00Tell me what happened and what you think might have been the case.
00:04The game or me?
00:05You.
00:06Oh, potential busted arm, but we'll go get scans now and see.
00:10So what happened in the contest? Was it just someone fell in?
00:13It was just a standard ground ball. It was a pretty heavy hit.
00:16I think that big ruckman came in flying in, so, yeah.
00:20Your thoughts on the performance today?
00:23I mean, obviously yourself go it off,
00:25and yet you were right in that game to win it in the last few minutes.
00:28There's a little bit of a coat of varnish on the...
00:30Yeah, 100% has a bit of a turning point.
00:32But, yeah, super proud of the boys.
00:34We should take a lot of confidence.
00:35Melton in the yard stick for the competition,
00:37in a position to win the game at the end.
00:39Look, unfortunately we're 0-3, haven't got a win yet.
00:42But some really good performances against East and Melton
00:45show that we can match it.
00:47So there's 15 games still in the season to play.
00:50So, yeah, but in terms of the game,
00:52I think we probably just didn't commit to our method early enough.
00:54It probably took until three goals down to actually really commit
00:58and take some risks how we wanted to play.
01:00So we were a little bit safe early.
01:02A little bit of memory of what happened last year?
01:05Yeah, I think so.
01:06And probably just like...
01:07Didn't want to let the boat flow out?
01:08Yeah, and we just probably went to our shells a little bit.
01:10So, and it's understandable coming up against Melton
01:13for the boys to be a little bit conservative
01:14and not want to take too many risks early.
01:16But it's probably why we were down a little bit.
01:18So...
01:19Well, you've shown you're a 20-goal better side.
01:20I mean, what you did against East goals.
01:21Well, it is.
01:22I mean, let's be honest.
01:23Yeah.
01:24It is.
01:25We have.
01:26We've taken some big steps forward.
01:27Unfortunately, yeah,
01:29it just doesn't equate to premiership points at this stage.
01:31But the good thing is we get the crack at every side twice.
01:33And, yeah, there's 15 games to go this season.
01:36So that's sort of play.
01:37Are you the only casualty from today?
01:39I think so, yeah.
01:40We had a couple through the week that went down.
01:42So, yeah.
01:43You didn't have your full six team after that.
01:45No, we had to make six changes from the Ballarat side.
01:47So, Jed Hill broke his wrist during the week.
01:51Her training?
01:52Yeah, training.
01:53Yeah, Riley O'Keefe's knee.
01:55And a couple of injuries from Ballarat.
01:57How long was O'Keefe?
01:58Not sure yet.
01:59Has it been scanned yet?
02:00Nah, I think Monday.
02:01So, yeah.
02:02Okay, okay.
02:03Time?
