00:00Pretty professional performance, showed a good level of composure and patience and built
00:12the game nicely at the start with some aggression on the back of a nice kick chase and Frawles
00:20led the Lions, we forced an error and then we showed a good level of patience there,
00:26took a shot at goal, then we came back and went again. So we built the game nicely, especially
00:32on the back of last week where we lacked a little bit of discipline and patience. I was
00:37interested to see what would happen in the second half, if we could stay composed and
00:42in control of the game and we did, which is, I'm really pleased for the players, I'm
00:47pleased for those guys that have their last home game at AMT. The weekend I want the boys
00:57to enjoy the week, enjoy the moment, but we've got a big week again next week.
01:02What can you say about the performances of those three players in particular?
01:07It was good, it was really good from the rest of the team that they allowed me to be able
01:13to leave some guys on the bench and not give them a lot of time. Dono got a heap of time,
01:19he was able to finish the game and have a shot at goal. The performance allowed me to,
01:26we had a few blokes carrying some injuries, Jarrad, he's been playing tough for a long
01:31time, Mellie wasn't even going to put him on, but we had six minutes to go, we only
01:38had six minutes, so he'll be nice and fresh next week. Mick, at his first game back,
01:43his first 25 minutes was very, very good. He got through that, so I would not put him
01:49back on the second half. So it was pleasing that I was able to do a few things like that,
01:53but it was built on the back of the boys' effort.
