00:00I think it's just personal preference.

00:02I haven't had social media for the best part of maybe four or five months and I feel a lot better.

00:07Most of the time I don't really know what's going on outside of camp.

00:10So yeah, I just think it's personal preference.

00:12I think as the tournament's gone on probably more people have come off it.

00:16But yeah, I can only speak for myself on that.

00:18And given the sort of magnitude and spotlight that will be on this game,

00:22are you confident that there are sort of, for those who do stay on it,

00:25are you confident that there's enough sort of protections in place?

00:29I think obviously the girls are smart enough to know what they should and shouldn't be looking at.

00:34And I'm sure they'll know what's going to put them in a good head space and what isn't.

00:37Do I think there's enough protection on social media? No, I don't.

00:40But I'm not going to be able to change that.

00:43So yeah, that's not up to me.

00:44But I think just in general, people can be more protected on social media.

00:47And I think we can do more to stop that from happening.
