00:00Yeah, look, I don't want to comment on, you know, it is what it is.

00:03It's a football, you know, the competition will deal with what they need to deal with there.

00:08We saw a hit, saw one of our team down.

00:11I asked our players to fly the flag.

00:13And then unfortunately, it probably just carried on for a little bit longer.

00:17And that's both parties.

00:18I think there was heat in the win, there was heat in the loss.

00:21Heat in the day.

00:22Heat in the day, yeah.

00:23Nice day up here in Ballarat.

00:24So look, that's out of our powers.

00:27We don't want to be known as a club like that.

00:28It's a neither do Redan and we've got no grudges.

00:30Look, we got off.

00:31We're unscathed.

00:32Is it all right?

00:33The competition will be, the competition will look after what they need to look after, hopefully.

00:36He's okay?

00:37Yeah, look, he's a little bit dazed.

00:39We'll have to get him assessed by a medical doctor.

00:42But yeah, look, it's not what we want to see and what we want to play footy for.

00:46But other than that, for three quarters and 36 minutes, because the last quarter went for a long time,

00:52I thought it was a great game of footy.

00:54I thought for, you know, second and third quarters, you might have kicked yourself out of it a little bit there, mate.

00:58You started so well, but you had to win it a couple of times.

01:00Yeah, look, I thought the first quarter we probably kicked ourselves out of it.

01:03We had some really gettable shots and I think we went in at, you know, three goals, five or, you know, something like that.

01:08So it's, yeah, it can hurt you.

01:11I thought they had a bit of run in the momentum and we were able to wrestle it back.

01:14And to our boys' credit, we asked them to dig deep in that last quarter and they were able to do so.

01:20Looking back on it, I mean, it's all right to win at home, but to come up here and win, it's pretty significant.

01:25Yeah, look, I remember you sort of, you know, saying to us, get banking away wins and banking them early is going to be crucial.

01:31And we respect Redan highly, what they've been able to do, they're a quality side, quality young bunch.

01:36And Gary's a great coach with, you know, great credentials in what he's been able to do.

01:41And, yeah, I don't know when the last time we've won here as a club, but it's just super to get back up here and, yeah, take four points away.

01:48And we look forward to now, good Friday.

01:51I was going to say Blockbuster East Point next week.

01:53I mean, it's a great opportunity for the club to really, you know, stand up.

01:57This is what we count for.

01:58Yeah, look, we'll have a lighter week on the track, I think, you know, four quarters of solid footy, shorter turnaround and that.

02:05But, look, it's a great opportunity.

02:06We'll, you know, we'll welcome Zach Tuohy into the fold, which will be exciting for our football club, both on and off the field.

02:12I know you're excited, Greg, which is good.

02:13So, but look, we know East Point are a quality side.

02:16You know, they touched us up last year, so it's a great stepping stone to see how far we've come.
