Watch: Warrnambool recruit and coach ahead of pre-season training

Transcript

00:00 Thanks for joining us Holly and Kate. We're here at Warrnambool netball training. Holly

00:05 new recruit for the Blues next year. Kate can you tell us a little bit about why you're

00:09 keen to get Holly on board? Yeah I think I watched Holly a few times last year and was

00:13 really impressed with her ability to play a really tight marking one to one defence

00:18 and I think she gives us greater versatility and depth and adds something a little bit

00:23 different in terms of our defensive structure. You know we tend to sort of play off the body

00:27 but Holly is a really relentless and tight marking defender so I think it's going to

00:33 be great to add her defensive flair to our side. Holly how are you looking forward to

00:38 playing for one on one HG? Yeah I'm super excited just to be playing with Amy Wormald,

00:43 Carly Peake, the whole side. I'm just super excited. And what are you hoping you can bring

00:49 to the team? Hopefully a bit. Yeah nah just I mean a bit of versatility in the defence

00:59 so Tilly I guess can rotate around the court a bit more. You joined the Hampton League

01:04 this year for the first time, a big step up and now second year in the competition. What

01:09 are you enjoying about the challenge? Yeah the challenge is great, loving the style of

01:14 the ball, the quick, the fast, the faster pace. Yeah just the challenge. And Kate, pre-season

01:21 underway now, how are you feeling about the side you've got to settle? Yeah really excited.

01:26 We've retained most of the squad, we've obviously lost Meg to South but brought in Carly and

01:32 also Holly and there's some wonderful juniors that have finished juniors this season that

01:37 will push for senior selection and we've got some new people around the club. It's really

01:41 exciting and the girls are really looking forward to it. The feeling around the club

01:44 has been fantastic. Thank you.
