Darcy Garbin's been a huge one, hasn't she, this year for you guys?

Yeah, absolutely.

She's super experienced and just a really good all-round player, very versatile.

So it's something different, I think, than a lot of NBL One teams have done this year, having three big on the floor at once.

And I think that's actually one of our advantages, to be honest, because it's really hard to guard and having such versatile bigs as well.

You know, we can play defence on small teams and just take advantage of it.

I mean, having Darcy has been really good for us to have another, like, sizeable big on the team.

So what brought that about?

Uh, w- I guess, is there any, um, uh, any tension or anything like that b- given that you guys have played such high stakes basketball, um, at key points of the year over the last two years?

I wouldn't say tension but, you know, when you go into finals, it's always something different.

You know, everybody is gonna be showing up, you know, giving literally everything on the grand final day.

So, um, you know, you don't wanna go into it with any kind of nerves or anything, but you just gotta be, um, you know, expecting, and it's a cliche, but expecting the unexpected.

Like, everybody brings something new into the grand final.

So, um, not nerves but, like, good, good energy.

You know, how much have you seen the growth of the program from top to bottom over the last half a decade?

You keeping an eye on them?

Yes and no, because I am not trying to look at their game too much right now.

Because obviously we have our game tomorrow, but I think once hopefully we get a good game and hopefully we move on, then I would definitely watch back the whole game, see what they were doing, whoever won that game, start preparing for them as soon as possible.

Phoenix and the Wildcats

What is that? For the people that won't understand us.

Yeah, it will be focusing on things like gene editing, anything in the bio space.

Sorry, like what? That requires some type of, yeah, technological.

All right.
