Melton netball coach Renee Fitzgerald after win over Sebastopol

Transcript

00:00the result. Oh, thank you. You must have been, you're a pretty hard taskmaster there when I

00:04heard you over talking to the girls. At the end of the day, a 23-24 goal win is still a 23-24

00:09goal win, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, no, it is. It was a nice win. It was actually my first week in

00:13coaching for the girls. So it was nice to get some of the girls back who haven't been available

00:18in the first couple of weeks. So yeah, they look like they came together quite well. Yep. What did

00:22you, what did you notice about the way they sort of gelled together today? I think from some of

00:28the girls having a history of maybe playing together before that showed. Some friendships

00:32in there as well. So it's nice to see when the girls are out there enjoying themselves,

00:36obviously they tend to play better netball when you're having fun, I guess. It's a completely

00:39different side pretty much. I think there's only one, maybe two from last season. I believe

00:44there's only one girl in there from last season. So it is a completely new side. Yeah, Jess.

00:49Yep. Jess, the captain. Yep. Tell me a little bit about the, you know, gelling, how you actually

00:53get the side to come together. As I said, I've just actually came in, this is my first week

00:58coming in. I think with the girls, a lot of it is from maybe family or previous playing

01:03together history. So at the moment we're still sort of working on that. So it's not, it's

01:08not something we've mastered just yet, but I think, like I said, friendships maybe help

01:12within that department. What do you notice about today and where do you think the improvement

01:15will come? I think the improvement will come from getting some stability in our team. I noticed

01:21that today we had lots of options moving the positions around, which was great. But I think

01:26as we get some more stability and the girls back regularly playing, I think that we can

01:30only get better from there. And you seemed to get through injury-free, did you? No dramas?

01:34No dramas today, thankfully. Touch wood. And we'll move forward and see how we go.

01:38All right. Well done.
