00:00 You're through to another grand final, how does it feel today?

00:05 Yeah, it's very exciting.

00:06 Before the game we were all a bit nervous, didn't know how it would go because during

00:12 the season it was one to Cogden and one to us so we knew it was going to be a full 60

00:16 minute game to find out who would be the winner but it's very exciting now that we're in

00:20 and we've got the stress-free week next week just to chill.

00:24 I thought the defensive end was really impressive, getting a lot of intercepts and tips which

00:29 led into a really potent attacking end.

00:32 Can you talk about the mindset coming in, particularly from that defensive end?

00:37 I think for most of the year our defensive end has been pretty settled, we've had the

00:42 same line-up for most of the year.

00:46 We know that Emily Finch is a massive part of the team and last time we played them she

00:52 shot the majority of their goals so we knew we had to shut them down if we wanted to win.

00:57 So you were able to shut her down quite early, had to make Jamie take the mantle a bit early.

01:05 How important was it to shut down some key players, particularly in that attacking end?

01:09 You've got Amy Hammond and Sophie Huffley down in that attacking end as well.

01:14 Yeah, their attacking end is very strong, they're very quick and they love to move the

01:17 ball quick as well so we knew we just had to slow it down whenever we had the chance.

01:22 How excited are the girls, you have a chance to go for back-to-back premierships, what's

01:29 the approach now in these next two weeks?

01:31 It's very exciting, just taking it the same as we take every other week, we don't want

01:35 to change our routine, just making sure we prioritise hydration, nutrition and recovery

01:41 to make sure we have the best chance.

01:43 Thanks.
