Sunbury coach Matt White after win over Redan
Transcript
00:00You got the win. We're at your absolute best, but any time you come here against, I guess, a traditional rival of the club, it's a good result for you, isn't it?
00:09Yeah, 100%. To be able to fight it out. We knew what Redan were going to bring. They're young, they're enthusiastic, they've got some massive upside.
00:16Just having a quick chat with Gary, he sort of understands where they're at with a few injuries as well.
00:21Just to be able to actually grind it out and finish the game off the way we did was absolutely fantastic, very happy.
00:26Obviously coming in without guff for the first game for what it will be for the rest of the season, it's going to take a little bit of time to get that midfield up and running.
00:33What did you see today and how can you build from that?
00:35Oh, it was good. Jake started slowly. Jake Egan started slowly. Harry's playing the way he's done and hit the scoreboard, albeit not goals.
00:43So that's a nice little replacement. We've got Jack Newitt and we've got Mitchie McLean, who's now going to step up a bit.
00:48So the greatest thing with him in that last quarter, we flipped Mitchie back forward and he sets up a couple of goals and there's a real pest down there.
00:55So it's a nice little trigger to have.
00:57Was Gallant all right in the end? It looked like he sort of got a bit of a stinger on the arm.
01:00I don't know why he was hanging out there.
01:02Between half of these boys, it looks like they're going to die every week.
01:04But it sounds like it's just a little stinger on his elbow that's just giving him a bit of numbness down his arm.
01:09So glad we got the bye. We've got a few boys that are pretty sore.
01:12I know it was only a three-week stretch, but they were sore going into the last couple of weeks.
01:17We've tapered training off really well, but give him a week.
01:20Like, we'll muck around a little bit this week just with keeping him fresh.
01:25And then we'll load up for East Point next week, or week after.
01:30Geez, I had to think about that.
01:31It doesn't get any easier then, does it?
01:33No, after playing footy and then actually coaching.
01:35I'm a bit spent, so I couldn't think of that.
01:37No disrespect to East, but we're refreshed now and we go again.
01:41You had a brief mention in the rooms there about the last quarter.
01:44Obviously, we saw what happened in the last quarter last week.
01:46They've obviously learnt something this week and they put it into practice, particularly that last 10 minutes when Redam were coming.
01:51Yeah, it was good.
01:52It was a bit more maturity there.
01:54We didn't have any control of the game against Dali.
01:57And in those last four to five, 10 minutes, we were able to chip it around and use the ball well.
02:02Key to grass and just sort of ice the game that way.
02:05Jake Sutton, if you ever play on from 28, I'm going to murder you.
02:08But no, it was good.
02:10It was real good learnings and we're refreshed now, which is going to be good.
02:14You'd be happy.
