00:00 Izzy, South Warrnambool, you're playing in a second grand final this weekend.
00:05 What's the feeling like at Fred Lyns this week?
00:08 Yeah, it's really, really good.
00:10 Vibes are high.
00:11 We're excited for our second grand final.
00:14 And yeah, really can't wait to get into it now.
00:16 It feels like it's sort of a long time coming.
00:21 You guys won the premiership last year, so that was a great day for yourself.
00:25 You were best on court.
00:26 What was that feeling like and how motivated are you guys to taste that again on Sunday?
00:33 Yeah, last year's grand final feeling was surreal.
00:37 I don't think there's any feeling like it.
00:38 So having that one under our belt, I think it makes you hungry to win another one because
00:43 yeah, it was such a special day spent with a team that we've worked together for nine
00:48 months.
00:49 So yeah, hopefully we can get another one on the weekend because yeah, it's just something
00:53 special winning a grand final.
00:54 You played a lot more at centre last year but at Ali O'Connor's return, you've moved
00:55 back more into your preferred wing attack.
00:56 What's that like just to be back there and connecting with Ali through the midcourt and
00:57 then Annie and Holly in goals as well?
00:58 Yeah, I've loved going back to wing attack this year.
00:59 To have Alan Senna is amazing.
01:00 She works so hard through there, so I'm really well supported in wing attack.
01:01 She gets me the ball really easily.
01:02 So I've loved going back into the wing attack.
01:03 I think it's just a great feeling.
01:04 I'm really, really excited to be back in the wing attack.
01:05 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:06 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:07 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:08 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:10 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:11 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:12 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:13 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:14 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:15 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:16 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:17 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:18 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:19 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:20 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:21 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:22 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:23 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:24 I've got a lot of good players in the wing attack.
01:52 I think it's been said a lot, but just being committed in the game for the full 60 minutes.
01:57 They're a very good team all over the court, but their defensive zone is really hard to
02:04 break through at times.
02:05 I think just staying composed, sticking to our structures, we know we can get through
02:09 it.
02:10 Just lots of communication with the girls down the attack end and hopefully we can break
02:15 through it.
