Transcript

00:00 Jo, how do you feel? It's obviously a tremendous honour and you've now done it for the third

00:17 time.

00:18 Yeah, the feeling of being quite nervous throughout the whole camp doesn't change and even getting

00:23 up and speaking it's always quite nerve-wracking but yeah, no, feeling quite proud and grateful

00:28 for the opportunity to be out there again and yeah, definitely comes down to having

00:33 the team that I have behind me and my coach too, Lisa, she's done a great job.

00:38 And obviously this weekend you've obviously got Goldfish to try and get a preliminary

00:43 final, you're hoping to obviously clinch back-to-back premierships to go on individual

00:49 athletes?

00:50 Yeah, absolutely. Coming off the loss from last week, all of us are pretty hungry to

00:55 get that win and redeem ourselves a little bit more so yeah, we know that we can do it,

01:00 we've just got to try our best and play really well as a team on the weekend to get the job

01:04 done.

01:05 You now have a three-time winner, I think it was 2015 when you first played Weston Ferris,

01:06 I mean, what does it mean to you to be able to have done it three times and be recognised

01:07 as the league's best player?

01:17 Yeah, I think every time it's happened I'm more and more grateful for being given the

01:22 award and to be noticed for so many times as well so yeah, it's pretty amazing.
