Yeah, it was quite a tight top three race as the season progressed, wasn't it, Vas? For you, who were the teams that, if you guys hadn't won it, let's be hypothetical for a moment, if you guys hadn't won it, who was the other team or teams that you thought might have been up there and maybe won a title this year if it hadn't been you guys?
27:21
It's a really interesting question because the year was so tight for so long and there was like those fluctuations in the top.
27:29
I think at one stage, you know, Playford, from memory, got off to an absolute flyer at the start of the year.
27:35
And we all know how hard it is to go to Playford and win a game of football.
27:40
And so, you know, they started off very strongly.
27:42
And then again, they had a little resurgence as well.
27:46
But Keller started off well and maintained that level.

How did you rate and what did you think you could do better and what you did good in your first season as a senior coach? And maybe how did your ideology of how you want your teams to play evolve throughout the season as the challenges got tougher?
27:05
Guide us through your journey, your achievements, and how the opportunity arrived at Adelaide City at the start of last year.
27:12
Yeah, I've been very fortunate.
27:13
I've just been blessed to have been able to play a lot of football here in the NPL in South Australia.
27:21
I've been able to play under some incredible coaches and with some incredible players.
27:27
And for me, football's always been my passion.
27:30
It's been my love to be able to do it for a long period of time as a player.
27:35
It was a real privilege.

You've already touched on it a little bit, but could you explain further, like, you know, for the club, for its rich supporter base, for yourself, for the many people around the country that feel Adelaide City should be on this stage, what does it mean to bring the club back onto a national stage?
