Transcript

00:00So, Evie, congratulations on the premiere show. How does that feel today?

00:03It feels so good. It feels so surreal.

00:05And you were obviously the one who got that last call in the end.

00:08What was going through your head then?

00:10I thought I hit the post, but it just got in.

00:14I just saw it and I was like, oh my gosh, it just felt so good.

00:18So Greg was saying you were last in the call today.

00:20Can you tell me a bit about what happened there?

00:23Lily was quite sick and she was vomiting and stuff.

00:31And she came to the game thinking she might not be playing.

00:34So I got called in in the morning and I didn't know if I was going to play or not.

00:38And then they just said, get out there and warm up and see how you feel.

00:44And then at the end, Lily came up to me and she was like, you're going to have to play.

00:51I felt nervous at the start, but once I got out on the field, yeah, it was good.

00:55So you were in under 16 players, is that right?

00:57How was it stepping up to play in the season?

00:59Well, I did play some games during the season.

01:02But, yeah, that game was just, it felt so good.

01:06I felt really lucky to be part of their team.

01:09Definitely. And the grand finals are a whole new game and everything.

01:11I thought you dealt with that pressure really well.

01:13Yeah, it was hard.

01:14How did you go about dealing with that?

01:17It was hard because there were bigger bodies and stuff and getting knocked around.

01:23But, yeah, I composed myself, especially with that last goal.

01:26And you had a big crowd behind you as well.

01:28Yeah.

01:29That would have meant a lot.

01:30It was really big and the noise was just, it felt so good.

01:33Congratulations again.

01:34Thank you so much.
