00:00 Thanks for joining us Isaac. Congratulations South on the Grand Final. How are you feeling?
00:05 Yeah, very excited. It's been a long week already, it's only been three days, but just
00:10 hanging out for next Saturday to get on the road and hopefully win a flag for South. It
00:14 would mean a lot to me. So, yeah, very excited.
00:16 You've played all your footy here. Can you tell us about your family connection?
00:20 Yeah, so I've been here since I was a little kid and my old man played a flag, or a couple
00:25 of flags for South back in the day. And yeah, my brother made his senior debut this year
00:29 with me. So, yeah, that was a very special moment for me and my family and something
00:34 I'll cherish forever.
00:36 And yourself, you're playing in the back. Can you tell us a bit about your role for
00:41 the team?
00:42 Oh, yeah. Well, I usually take a key forward, so someone who kicks a lot of goals, but really
00:47 it's just trying to stop my opponent and then work off and get the ball myself and kick
00:51 it down the field. So, yeah, pretty basic, nothing too major, but yeah.
00:55 You had a bit of injury concern late last week. Can you tell us about that?
00:59 Yeah, so I broke my collarbone in the prelim final loss to North over at Port Ferry. So,
01:05 yeah, snapped in half, so I got a big blade in it and had to have a big op on it. So,
01:09 it delayed my pre-season a little bit, but nah, all good.
01:13 And you've had a lot of cool players run through the senior team this year. Has there been
01:17 anyone that's had a bit of a breakthrough season?
01:19 Yeah, I reckon Miles McCluggy, he's one of the boys out of the juniors. He's had a really
01:22 strong year through the midfield. And Oliver Bridgewater as well, probably a bit underrated,
01:27 but yeah, he's had a ripper year. So, yeah, probably them two that have really been standouts
01:32 for me, I reckon.
01:33 Alright, thanks a lot. Have a good one.
01:35 Nah, thanks, Justine. Appreciate it.
