00:00 First year with the Tigers, how are you enjoying it first of all?
00:03 Yeah, very good. It's a different footy but it's been good fun.
00:06 I've got a lot of family here so it's really good to play with all them and loving the club.
00:11 You must be just pinching yourself the way the Tigers are going.
00:15 It's a bit of a rough start to the season but you were missing.
00:18 You had a bit of a slow start with injury so it took you a while to find your feet no doubt.
00:25 How have you found that progress?
00:28 I missed the first two games and it is very different footy here.
00:32 It's slower in contests, bigger bodies, country footy.
00:36 It definitely did take a while, even the ground, muddy ground.
00:41 It took a while but I think I'm going right, getting used to it.
00:46 An incredible winning streak at the moment. The Tigers are on.
00:49 Not long to go, just the one home and away game to go.
00:53 But still, when you're looking towards finals, there's still a lot of work to be done.
00:57 The last month has been tough but it's been really good team effort.
01:02 We've got some good depth in the club and everyone just comes up and does their role.
01:07 Each week the team works together well.
01:10 It's just showing we're playing good footy and winning games.
01:14 The midfield has been a big part of this run of wins for the Tigers.
01:20 I know you're not going to talk about yourself but you must be excited
01:25 with the group you're playing with through that midfield.
01:28 Yeah, definitely. It's a great midfield. Tomo and Toddy, especially.
01:32 They're bloody good players and even the other ones coming in.
01:35 They've got plenty of blokes coming through and it's really good.
01:38 And what about the fact that big Stephen Staunton is back.
01:42 He didn't play the whole half through the season so you've only just started linking up with him.
01:47 You look up forward and you see that big, imposing key forward, strong pair of hands.
01:53 That must give you guys a lot of confidence as well.
01:55 Definitely. He's a big presence down there and it's great to have him.
01:58 You know you're pretty safe when you're kicking it to him.
02:00 Put it out in space and he does the rest of the work. It's good.
02:03 You've come from St Joseph's in Geelong, a club steeped in a rich history.
02:09 No doubt you're hoping to be part of a historic year, perhaps this year, for the Springbank Tigers.
02:15 Yeah, definitely. I'll try my best to finish off the year strongly and see how we go.
