00:00 Two in a row.

00:01 The heart's good.

00:02 Look, that was a gutsy win from the girls, I think.

00:09 I think in games such as that, when you're going goal for goal, goal for goal, goal for

00:14 goal, it's about your ability to hold your nerve.

00:17 And I think the girls showed that they're able to do that and holding on by a couple

00:21 of goals in the end.

00:22 Well, they got back level a couple of times in that last quarter and there were some really

00:26 important touches, particularly defensively.

00:28 Absolutely, yeah.

00:29 So Alice Kane, Hizik Manial, really getting us back in the game, keeping us in the game

00:35 with their touches, deflections.

00:37 Talia and Nikki on circle edge there.

00:40 When that defensive unit works in that way and they're so effective, it just allows us

00:44 to try and convert down the other end.

00:47 So yeah, look, it's a win.

00:51 It's a win.

00:52 It wasn't our prettiest netball, but we take that back to training.

00:56 What did you learn from last week?

00:58 Narrow defeat last week, narrow win this week.

01:00 What did you learn from that game?

01:02 Oh look, in comparison, I think our game style and plan last week, we were cleaner, crisper.

01:10 Our timing was really on point last week.

01:15 And I noticed that that was a little bit of a breakdown this week.

01:17 So we took a lot of heart out of last week's win.

01:20 And I always say to the girls, attitude and effort.

01:23 And if you give me your best attitude and everything you can give me, and we go down,

01:29 then I'm okay with it.

01:32 But tactically, from last week, there's a few things that we're working on.

01:39 And I think our defenders showed that today.

01:40 We had a session, a defense session, training on Thursday.

01:43 They really put some of those things into play today, which was great.

01:46 Did a great job swinging from shooting to defense.

01:50 And I think a team effort in the end at halftime, I said to the girls, we just need to raise

01:55 it.

01:56 If everyone raises it 5%, we're really going to get there.

01:59 And I'm proud of the way that they responded and they did that.

02:01 You're in the season now, that's the main thing.

02:02 That's it, we've had a win.
