Transcript

00:00Well, Tom, a commanding win to lock in a top eight spot. Your final's bound.

00:07Very exciting. It's a fantastic day here at the Snake Valley. Yeah, probably didn't expect

00:12such a big win. We come in really confident that, you know, this is our kind of day. We

00:17really got ourselves up for this. We knew our season was on the line and it was good

00:20to see the boys deliver.

00:21You start the game full of energy and you can see that you kick the first goal, you

00:25kick the first three goals and you're up and about and you carried that through obviously

00:31from the pre-match preparation.

00:32Yeah, over the last few years it's been a bit of a pattern where we get off to slow

00:37starts. You know, we can sometimes find ourselves three or four goals down and the amount of

00:40times we're at the end of the game, the margin at the end would be three or four goals. So

00:45a big focus over the last fortnight especially, we're like let's get up before the game, let's

00:48be ready to go and hit our straps when we get out there and that's definitely what the

00:52pre-match focus was and it was really rewarding to see us do that and then take it from there.

00:57You know as a bit of a run and gun team and the conditions out there, hard track and they

01:02really suited you.

01:03Yeah, we're a young side, carry the ball well, run with it really well, got good skills.

01:08So a day like this, a beautiful day here at Snake Valley and we made the most of it which

01:12is good and hopefully taking this into the finals.

01:14You've only been out at the club a couple of years but another final series. What does

01:20it mean to be backing up because there's always a lot of pressure on a club, you know

01:24you make the finals one year and it's harder the next.

01:27Absolutely, yeah. I've been here for a couple of years but I know some supporters here that

01:31have been around the club for 10, 12 years and didn't see much success so it's fantastic

01:35to be here with all the club and supporters, everybody's really up and about. A big thing

01:39for us was backing up, we wanted to show that Cardamon's here and it's here for the long

01:43term, we're not just here for a couple of years and going to be back down the bottom,

01:45we're going to continue with this really good culture and continue this winning way

01:50hopefully into the near future and into this final series.
