3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend, a favorite story, and what to

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: watch in the coming week. My name is Chloe Dalton.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm an Olympic gold medalist in rugby seppens and an

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: AFLW player. I'm joined by my co host, Millie Dawson.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Milli is an athlete manager who works with some of

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: Australia's top female athletes. Hi Mills, Hi, Chloe, how are

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: you going? I'm good. I loved it. Last week we

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: had chickpeas stuck in our throat.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: This time it's going to be a recurring theme of

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Chloe feeding me things that are not good to eat

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: before a podcast like the Victim.

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: You wanted this true all? We just had some.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: It was delicious, but it was some apple strudele and

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: and it was flaky pastry. And now I was going

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: to get stuck on my throat again. So I've apologize

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: in advance for any that sounds.

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Really to be better we do.

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: I hear you have a Netflix recommendation for us. Now,

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: I love a good Netflix session, so please tell us

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: what it is.

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: It's called playbook. I think it's just called playbook. And

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: what they do is they go to like the world's

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: best coaches and they interview them. They short episodes thirty

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: minutes or something. I watched the one with Patrick Moritoglu.

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: I think that's how you pronounce his name. Who's Serena

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Williams coach, aka the Goat? Here's the goat, She's the goat.

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: But I loved it. It was so interesting to see the

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: way that he approached the whole situation, even the way

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: he got her on board as an athlete in the

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: first place, and how he became her coach. And he

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: was telling this story about Serena kept going up to

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the net and she she was playing at Wimbledon or something,

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: and she sucked every time he went to the net,

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: and so he just decided to lie to her about

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: her stats. So he said to her, every time you're

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: going up to the net, you're winning eighty percent of

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the points. Actually was able to change her mindset, and

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: so because he could then instill confidence in her, then

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: she actually won eighty percent points at the net, even

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: though he'd line about the stats before. That was so fascinating.

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: It was cool.

44
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: Another doco has actually recently come out on the Netball

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: It's called Everything Is Possible. So I'm really keen to

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: watch that one. You can watch it on Foxtel and KO.

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I really want to watch that one this week.

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah I haven't. Maybe we should let's sit down and

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: watch it over some strudle. That would be delightful and delicious.

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: Coming off in today's episode will be joined by Collingwood

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: AFLW player Brie Davy, the first ever joint winner of

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: the AFLW Best and Fairest Award, alongside Fremantle Dockers player

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: Kiara Bauers.

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: But first let's take a look around the grounds.

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: In netball, Australia has won the rights to the twenty

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: twenty seven Netball World Cup. The World Cup is set

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: to take place in Sydney and will mark the ninth

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: time the World Cup has been awarded in New Stuff, Wales,

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: which is awesome. Neble Australia really looking forward to the

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: spotlight to help continue the rapid growth of netball Sydney.

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: You will host sixteen national teams and the tournament will

62
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: coincide earlier netballs then tenory celebrations.

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: But big Hundi. How good. In soccer, the Matildas have

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: landed a heavy blow with their Tokyo draw at the Olympics.

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: They'll come up against number one ranked USA and number

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: five ranked Sweden. After two tough losses just recently in

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: international friendly games to Germany and the Netherlands. They're going

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: to have their work cut out for them come the

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: pool stages in July. But fingers crossed backing you in

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Matilda's girls.

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: So still on soccer and a bit more positive news

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: in the UK, Sam Kerr has scored yet another goal

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: in Chelsea's two to two draw at Manchester City that

74
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: keeps them in the pole position to win the Women's

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Super League. Sam was also instrumental in setting up Chelsea's

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: second goal of the match to help the team maintain

77
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 2: their two point lead at the top with just two

78
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: more games to be played in the season.

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: In tennis, Astra Sharma has won her first WTA Tour

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: title in Charleston, South Carolina. I reckon they'd have delicious

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: barbecue meats there. Astra went into this tournament ranked one

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five in the world and took the

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: title from the number one seed on Jibur who was

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight places higher than her in

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: the world rankings. That is sick. That is very incredible.

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Congratulations Astra.

87
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: Also in tennis, Ashbardy has claimed two more titles over

88
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: the weekend, taking out both the singles and doubles title at.

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: The Stuttgart Open.

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: There's actually also her twenty fifth birthday on Saturday, so

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was a pretty incredible weekend. Imagine being

92
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: that successful at age twenty five.

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Let's relate your career earnings to date, Millie, are you

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: guys similar age yep, let's not reflecting that. Please moving on.

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: This is her first European competition since the French Open,

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: which she won in twenty nineteen. The French Open is

97
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: actually kicking off next month on the twenty fourth of May,

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: so she'll be defending her title there. That will also

99
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: mark the end of the qualification period for the Olympics. Now,

100
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: as Ashbardi is ranked number one of the world, you'll

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: have no issues qualifying for the game for Australia, but

102
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: nonetheless excited to see who qualifies around the world.

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the key story.

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: In netball. Gabrielle Coffee has signed on for the Melbourne

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: Vixen squad as a training partner, which now means that

106
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: there will be at least three Indigenous players signed to

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: Super Netball clubs this year, with Donelle Wallam another training partner,

108
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: and Jemma Mymi a full time contracted player with the

109
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: Queensland Firebirds.

110
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: So this is big news because if we look back

111
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: to September of twenty twenty, the first Indigenous Round was

112
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: held in netball and the league's only Indigenous player, Jemma Mimi,

113
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: didn't actually get put on the court during the Indigenous Round.

114
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: There was really big uproar across the netball community and

115
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: on social media because Gemma had been had spent the

116
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: entire week promoting the round and the importance of what

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: the round stood for and the importance of involving First

118
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Nations people in the netball community, and then I think

119
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: for her it probably felt like a bit of a

120
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: slap in the face that she then didn't get an

121
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: opportunity to actually play. Yeah. I had a good chat

122
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: with Madison d Rosario recently in the podcast around the

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: pressure that's put on I know she Madison experiences that

124
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: pressure that's put on her as a para athlete to

125
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: almost like take on that responsibility and the burden it

126
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: is when you are almost trying to push this cause

127
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: and always push for equality. So I think that element

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: of it would would be a very heavy burden. So

129
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: after that happened in September, Netble Australia now it's a

130
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: declar of commitment to break down the barriers preventing Aboriginal

131
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: and Torres Strait Island to people from reaching their full

132
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: potential in the sport. The Pledge put forward by Netble

133
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Australia incorporates twenty national, state and territory based organizations and

134
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: club bodies that have signed a commitment to learning how

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: to better understand Indigenous people and give them greater support.

136
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: The pledge also extends that promise to Indigenous coaches, umpires,

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: administrators and commentators.

138
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really important for First Nations people to have

139
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: that representation, not only in the sport and for the

140
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: community and for young people growing up to see people

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: are within their community representing the sport, but also important

142
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: for them to be involved in the decision making. I

143
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: think it's great and overdue that Netble Australia are making

144
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: this kind of commitment to change. However, I think it's

145
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: really important that these first nations, people within the community

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: of netball are included in the decision making process.

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now it's time for the presser.

148
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: The afl W Awards took place last Tuesday. There was

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,040

00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: the AFL Players Association Most Valuable Player Award, best joint

160
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Best and Fairest winner for the AFLW Collingwood West and Fairest.

161
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Has there been one of those awards that has meant

162
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: more to you? Yeah?

163
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: Look, I think for me, definitely, the players voted one

164
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: through the AFLPA. I mean, look, they're all such I

165
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: feel so honored to have been able to take out

166
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: all those awards.

167
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: But I think when you're.

168
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: Voted in by your players, I guess it shows there's

169
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: a certain level of respect there for you, which is

170
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: really really cool. And yeah, again, I wouldn't take anything

171
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: away from the other awards. They're both amazing to win

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: and I'm stoked to have won them. But yeah, I

173
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: think the players the players voted one for me is

174
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: really special.

175
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the letter you wrote to

176
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: the CEO of the AFL when you were eight years old?

177
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: Much when viral last week?

178
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know so, like I posted that, I think

179
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: back in twenty seventeen, maybe on my Instagram. It was

180
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: when the AFL sort of first got announced, and I

181
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: was like, oh my gosh, Like, I remember I wrote

182
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: this letter, and you know, I didn't think it would

183
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: be possible, so I like posted about it and it

184
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: got a little bit of traction. But obviously the years

185
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: have gone on and AFOW has become more popular and

186
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: a bit more of following and stuff, and then yeah,

187
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: obviously won the Award, and when they sort of brought

188
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: it up, I'd sort of forgotten about it, But yeah,

189
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: I wrote it. I was in like you two or

190
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: three and we had like a persuasive essay sort of

191
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: that challenge, and I chose. I knew who was going

192
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: to write too straight away. I loved forty. I played

193
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: with the boys I wanted. I've always said to my

194
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: dad and my mum that I wanted to play AFL,

195
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: and they sort of always awkwardly had to.

196
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: Tell me that I couldn't.

197
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought, I'm going to write to the

198
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: big man and get into making happens. There I go.

199
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: It worked so good.

200
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I think it's mine.

201
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: You've traditionally played in the back line because of coming

202
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: across from soccer and your vision as a goalie, and

203
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: then now playing consistently in the midfield. You've averaged I

204
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: think this season you averaged twenty three touches a game.

205
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: So for the people who listen who don't know much

206
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: about AFL, when we talk about disposals, pretty if your

207
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: handble or kick the footy, the more you get, I guess,

208
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: the more involved you are in the game. So it's

209
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: considered that You've made more of an impact on the game.

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: So when we're talking twenty three touches, you're obviously making

211
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: a pretty big impact on the game. Also, kicked six

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: goals throughout the season. Have you enjoyed playing more in

213
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: the midfield and getting your hands on the footy. Yeah,

214
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: I've absolutely loved it. I always thought I loved being

215
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: a defender, and I really did it.

216
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: It was awesome to play in the back line, but yeah,

217
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: midfield it's just a different You're always sort of in

218
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: the action, and this year I had more of an

219
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: attacking role. I think naturally, I've always been quite defensive minded.

220
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: So this year at Collingwood, go late in that breed.

221
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: We're changing your role and we want you to actually

222
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: be more of an attacking threat. And so yeah, I

223
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: sort of pushed forward a little bit, and yeah, when

224
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: the ball went forward, I'd sort of go deep into

225
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: the fault line and sort of hunt the footy. And yeah,

226
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: it was lucky to get on the end of it

227
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: a few times. And yeah, it's kicking goals is so

228
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: much fun, Like I love it, So I ho really

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: do more of it next season.

230
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: Not against Carlton. In your postgame interviews, you're often too humble.

231
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I think I've counted you saying credit to the girls

232
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: thirteen times in one interview. But what do these awards

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: mean as a recognition for your hard work and the

234
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: journey that you've been through, including coming back from doing

235
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: ACL and I guess the work that you've put in

236
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: to get to how you're performing today as a player.

237
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for me, like the major thing has

238
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: been keeping sort of injury free, and you sort of

239
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: touched on working back from injury. I did my ACL

240
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: in the second season, so that's obviously a pretty major injury.

241
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: But I think in general, unfortunately, I've been pretty injury

242
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 3: prone as well. And this is probably the first season

243
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 3: I've run into it feeling like actually really good about

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: my body and not having little niggles that have sort

245
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: of interrupted my fitness throughout the preseason. So I think

246
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: for me that was like the main thing. So being

247
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: able to go into this season feeling like that was huge,

248
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: and then obviously to sort of play consistent good footy

249
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: and then yeah, be sort of recognized or you know,

250
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: rewarded with it by the end of the season sort

251
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: of really did show me that, like hard work does

252
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: pay off, as clichs it sounds, but I did put

253
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: a lot of work into my body off the field

254
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: this season. I think I was more in tune with

255
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: my body this season. So yeah, you know, I'm super

256
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: stoked that I actually put more work into my body,

257
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: and not that i'd been slack in the past. I

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: just went into different avenues this year and started seeing

259
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: a chiropractice, which really helped me when I got a

260
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: few things sorted, like blood tests and stuff done just

261
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: to get sort of my energy levels and things sorted,

262
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: and all of that really paid off. So yeah, yeah,

263
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: pretty stoked. And I know you've mentioned me crediting my pain,

264
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: but it's true. I've got a really great bunch of

265
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: girls around me, which helps you play good footy as well.

266
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does your teammates that you talk about there.

267
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: You'll ended up back at g Flip's house a couple

268
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: of times, it seems recently. Can you tell us how

00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,920

Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, G she's she loves Collingwood, and I

271

Speaker 3: of our friends through another friend, and they sort of

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: were affiliated in that way, and then yeah, we sort

276
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: of ended out. We ended up out one night and

277
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: she sort of had reached out to one of the

278
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,840

282
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040
