00:00 Happy New Year, how are you?
00:02 Happy New Year, all in good shape, looking forward to a big year.
00:07 It's good to be back out training with the boys again, building into Charles' coming.
00:13 Games, not too far off.
00:15 You've had a full pre-season, that must be a boost, obviously you've had a few problems in pre-season.
00:22 Yeah it has been, just getting that consistency of training under my belt,
00:27 just getting my body going throughout these past few months.
00:31 I think it will definitely be a big part of this coming season.
00:36 You finished last year, and you've been getting a squadron train.
00:41 Are you confident to take it up into the New Year campaign?
00:44 Yeah, I thought I'd have a solid end of the year,
00:48 just a bit disappointed getting that early injury early in the season,
00:53 but being able to finish off the way I did, I still feel like I have things to work on,
01:00 but I feel like I've been solid and hopefully can take that into the New Year side of this year.
01:04 Is that the main thing for you, just to get them in the games without any bad luck?
01:10 Yeah, for sure. It's one of those things you just can't control, injuries are part of the game.
01:16 I'm touch wood hopefully that if I do all the little things right again, they're lucky to be on my side.
01:23 How's the squad chipping up?
01:27 Yeah, good, good. The new additions have been great since they've come in,
01:31 I think they've added a lot to the team.
01:34 Also the boys are already here, the younger boys coming through,
01:37 they've added a lot to training and they've improved a lot in the space of a few months.
01:43 I feel like we're looking good getting into the season.
01:46 Are you excited about the new spine, hopefully to plant the ball out wide this year?
01:51 Yeah, there's a lot of skill there and there's a lot of experience as well,
01:57 so it'll be good to have them in a stellar ship and bring what they can bring to our team
02:03 and hopefully we can see a bit more ball out wide,
02:07 but we just have to get those combinations going and get those reps in and go from there.
02:14 You obviously have to fill out the box today, are you hoping to get a game or two in pre-season?
02:20 Yeah, for sure. You always need a run before the season starts,
02:24 so hopefully I can get a game or two before round one and just blow a few of the cobwebs out.
02:33 We haven't been able to have a proper pose, bash,
02:38 you can't really emulate a game until you're out there, so it'll be good to have a run.
