What's the first thing you chase?

Ken and I spoke about this earlier, but coaching a young side, perhaps team defence is not something they learned at junior level.

But what's your number one focus for development in terms of the style of play?

What did you come in with?

I did the votes last night for the Invest On Ground Award.

And I actually gave Ishenko, if that's the right pronunciation, the three votes.

And his evolution, albeit very short, is just one of many coming through.

And, you know, I'm sure there's some injured boys coming back as well.

So that, with the combination of your leaders around the Taranto, Lynch, Hopper, Short, Broad and Vlosten, the balance is pretty good when those senior players are there.

Well, I gave Reschko three because of, you know, he's standing.

He's still learning the game.

He's only played four or five games, and to produce a game like that, I thought was way above expected performance.

And Taranto had nine clearances and 30 possessions and was a big part towards the clearance dominance that they had.

And then I thought Parrish got caught a couple of times, gave a few 50s away.

Part of the problem at the start of the game, but then he did work into the game and he had 41 possessions and he deserved some credit.

So it's in the eye of the beholder.

It's always difficult getting best on when you're in a losing side.

But yeah, look, it was a pretty even game.

It was pretty hard to pick, to be honest.

Yeah.
