00:00Well, Tom, a commanding win to lock in a top eight spot. Your final's bound.
00:07Very exciting. It's a fantastic day here at the Snake Valley. Yeah, probably didn't expect
00:12such a big win. We come in really confident that, you know, this is our kind of day. We
00:17really got ourselves up for this. We knew our season was on the line and it was good
00:20to see the boys deliver.
00:21You start the game full of energy and you can see that you kick the first goal, you
00:25kick the first three goals and you're up and about and you carried that through obviously
00:31from the pre-match preparation.
00:32Yeah, over the last few years it's been a bit of a pattern where we get off to slow
00:37starts. You know, we can sometimes find ourselves three or four goals down and the amount of
00:40times we're at the end of the game, the margin at the end would be three or four goals. So
00:45a big focus over the last fortnight especially, we're like let's get up before the game, let's
00:48be ready to go and hit our straps when we get out there and that's definitely what the
00:52pre-match focus was and it was really rewarding to see us do that and then take it from there.
00:57You know as a bit of a run and gun team and the conditions out there, hard track and they
01:02really suited you.
01:03Yeah, we're a young side, carry the ball well, run with it really well, got good skills.
01:08So a day like this, a beautiful day here at Snake Valley and we made the most of it which
01:12is good and hopefully taking this into the finals.
01:14You've only been out at the club a couple of years but another final series. What does
01:20it mean to be backing up because there's always a lot of pressure on a club, you know
01:24you make the finals one year and it's harder the next.
01:27Absolutely, yeah. I've been here for a couple of years but I know some supporters here that
01:31have been around the club for 10, 12 years and didn't see much success so it's fantastic
01:35to be here with all the club and supporters, everybody's really up and about. A big thing
01:39for us was backing up, we wanted to show that Cardamon's here and it's here for the long
01:43term, we're not just here for a couple of years and going to be back down the bottom,
01:45we're going to continue with this really good culture and continue this winning way
01:50hopefully into the near future and into this final series.
