00:00You had your goal shooter down today, but you just keep fighting players, Kim.

00:03Not just our goal shooter, we had our three goalers out today.

00:06So we had Caitlin Hill, who's still on SN reserve duties.

00:11Also have Tara, who was away as well, who's been away for the last three weeks.

00:14She comes back next week and Beck Hicks away as well.

00:17So we're in a little bit of a pickle and it's just lucky we've got some contacts

00:20and we're able to come in and help us.

00:22There's a lot of contacts going around.

00:23It looked like you didn't skip a beat.

00:25Right now they're the second best team, isn't it?

00:27You've knocked them off by 20 goals. You must be thrilled.

00:29Like, yeah, look, they really ran us and they've got some really great young talent there.

00:34So we knew it was going to be a hard game.

00:36It was still really tough, but I think it's really good to see what our other players can do.

00:42And, you know, everyone thinks we rely on Beck, but, you know, at mid-court so fast

00:46and our defence is really...

00:47Well, you've got to get it down to her, don't you?

00:48I mean, that's the thing.

00:49She can just knock the goals in.

00:51You've got to get someone to give it to her.

00:52Yeah, yeah.

00:54And the second quarter when we did have a long, that's when the court was wet

00:57and we're such a fast running that when it's wet, that's our most probably our weak point.

01:02That's our nemesis when it's wet.

01:04So let's hope it doesn't rain.

01:05Oh, so you're going to get a few games of Ballarat in July.

01:07I think you will actually get a little bit of a rain.

01:09Yeah, we just have to adapt to that.

01:11But we are getting better at it.

01:13But it's something that we've had to get used to and we do work on it as well.

01:16But, yeah, we've had Eliza Gollum back today.

01:19She's just back from an NCL and just had a bit of a slide there, gave us a bit of a scare as well.

01:23So I hope she's all right.

01:25But, yeah, it was a good result compared to the scrambling to get some players.

01:29Yeah, yeah, exactly right.

01:31What did you get out of the game then?

01:32Who do you think sort of stood up and led the way for you today?

01:36Allie Randall did a really awesome job.

01:38She's been in really great form and just that leadership she shows up the court.

01:42Sarah Croft has been in really good form as well.

01:45Just a workhorse and just a work rate, the change of pace.

01:49The whole midcourt, really, Taylor, honey, was a little bit off today.

01:54She said she didn't feel that well, but you couldn't tell.

01:56You know, she's just...

01:56No, blame her.

01:57I wouldn't be feeling great playing out in these conditions either.

01:59Yeah, she's just an awesome leader on the court too and she brings composure.

02:03And I think that's what we had today.

02:04We had a lot of composure.

02:05You know, particularly when there's a couple of other players

02:09that have never played with us before.

02:12And the girls have only met today.

02:13So we were really lucky, really lucky.

02:16Well, your contacts are working, Kim.

02:17You can keep it up and good luck for the...
