00:00 How was your debut and how do you describe the lead-up to it?
00:04 Well I got the phone call and I wasn't expecting anything really.
00:10 It was kind of a surprise, my heart was racing.
00:13 Yeah it was just really good to hear I got the opportunity.
00:17 How did you feel before the game and then during the game and as the game wore on?
00:27 Before the game I was kind of a bit nervous but once I got the saves in or I had a touch on the ball I was fine.
00:36 The girls were nice, they were talking to me, they were making sure I was all good.
00:41 They were hyping me up so it was really good to know that the coach and staff was also backing me and the girls were backing me as well.
00:50 And how are you viewing this time with the Jets?
00:54 Do you eventually want to get a contract and is that how you're looking at it as a bit of a showcase of yourself in these games?
01:02 Yeah look I've always wanted to play A-League, that's always been my goal since I was younger.
01:07 I've always wanted to play for the Jets as well so coming back from NPL back to the Jets, it was a dream come true really to get that call up so yeah I'm glad it happened.
01:19 In your dream was it such a big game?
01:22 Well the way it happened it was yeah but I was really proud with what happened on that day and to get the big win for the girls as well.
01:34 And a final looming, how do you feel about that and I guess if you get to play again?
01:40 Yeah really exciting, a bit nervous but still the same as last Friday, I still feel the same.
01:48 If I get the opportunity to play I'll still take it by the hand and if Izzy has to play I'll still support her either way.
01:55 (laughs)
