00:00Thanks for joining us Bailey, a great win today for North against Wondal in the
00:04qualifying final, how are you feeling? Yeah, it was a great win, I think coming into it we knew it was going to be a tough battle, we played them a few weeks ago and they got over us that day, so we knew we were up for the fight today, obviously we knew the breeze was going to play a bit of a factor, but I thought we adjusted probably well early in the game and yeah, it was a great result.
00:26In the first quarter you obviously went against the breeze, kicked a goal and managed to keep them to a low score, how important was that?
00:32Hell, I think at the time we probably took it maybe a little bit for granted, but I think at the end of the day you could see, I don't know, there was another goal kick up there all day, but yeah I think the whole back line out of mind, sacrificed himself today and played down this whole end all day and Tommy Batten as well has come down and helped us out, yeah it's just a contest, a tough contest in the end, but yeah, thrilled.
00:57And what has it been for you guys, you've now set up a second semi against South Warrnambool?
01:01Yeah, obviously get over this one and then start getting the body right and prepare for next week against South, it's going to be another big game and we know they've been the benchmark for the last two or three years, so we'll rest up and then we'll move on to them Tuesday night.
01:22And obviously Nathan Barty's first year as coach, his first finals win, what have you made of him coming in and taking on that role this year?
01:28Yeah, love him, he's just another one of the boys really, a bit of a larrikin, great for him, he was always good as a player, just a player and a mate last year and he hasn't changed a lot through that, but at the same time he's brought in a few new things and I think instead of the game style we play under him it's pretty exciting and yeah, love having him as coach.
01:49No worries, well best of luck next week then.
01:51You too.
