00:00Louis, a good win today, mate. It was a pretty hard-fought contest all day. What did you think of that one?
00:04Yeah, it was. I thought Port Ferry played a great game today. Their pressure intensity, especially early on, was really good.
00:11So we knew it was going to be tough coming up here. They've had some good wins this season and they're definitely heading in the right direction.
00:18But to our credit, the fellas, I thought they fought it out to the last quarter. I thought our second half was really good.
00:25I thought Port Ferry probably had us in that first half, but I thought we'd come out and play a good brand of footy after that, so it was good.
00:31And Port Ferry came in hard at the end of the third, start of the fourth. Were you happy with how you responded for a second time in the match?
00:37Yeah, I think that's a sign of a good team. That's how it goes sometimes, with momentum.
00:41I thought we were able to shut that down and then kick away a little bit there at the end by three goals or whatever it was.
00:46So some guys stood up and that was really pleasing, so it was good.
00:49Yeah, it seems to be a common theme for really good sides. They win the ones they need to and they get the job done in the end.
00:56Yeah, that's right. And Port Ferry, as I said, have been playing some pretty good footy and had some good wins.
01:00So when they're at their best, they're hard to play against, but we move forward again and just keep trying to stack the wins as the key at this point.
01:07And who impressed you today? I know you were out there, but who impressed you?
01:11Look, I thought Scotty Cullen was obviously pretty good, had a lot of the footy.
01:15Riley Hutchins as well, through the midfield, were really good.
01:19And then you had Will Kane, who ended up kicking a few today, so that's good for his confidence.
01:23And then Harvey Roberts, I thought, was pretty good. He had some big contests as well, which he stood up at a pretty crucial time.
01:30So across the board, it's hard to pick at the moment, but yeah, they all played well.
01:36And how good's it been getting Will back into your side? A big focal point up forward?
01:40I think it just straightens us up a little bit for starters, but yeah, another tall sort of target that can mark the footy.
01:45Yeah, they're sort of hard to find, so he's building nicely and there's still obviously four games to go, so he'll keep building from here.
01:52Are you happy with how you're going with four games to go? You're in a bit of form, it's good.
01:55Yeah, I think we're playing some good footy.
01:57And yeah, you've just got to, as I say, if you're up by 5-10%, you get found out pretty quick in this league.
02:03So we've just got to keep rocking up the training and putting the work in and hopefully the results go our way.
02:08Sounds good. Thanks, Larry.
