So, Zach, in simple terms, why did you straighten things up? Why have Claremont bounced back? Because you went through a bit of a patch there where your form wasn't bad but you just weren't getting the wins
103:43
yeah i guess uh there's not like one thing you can kind of put your finger on i guess i think we were game execution late in games we kind of weren't executing the right the right things at the right time um i guess people needed to understand what type of game mode we needed to go into and i guess that kind of lost us games um so we've kind of done a fair bit of work on that but Just, yeah, I guess good teams do go through purple patches and do have losses at some stages.
104:10
So I'm just happy that we're back getting into some form and we've got people firing at the right time.
104:16
We've got injuries coming back like Max Muneer and hopefully Cal England in the next couple of weeks, which will bolster our attack.
104:23
yeah I don't know it was a tough one and a tough period but boys stuck stuck true to the game plan stuck together and yeah we're coming out good at the moment
105:38
Just tell us a bit about your view on Harper Banfield, his progression through his PSA and his Claremont Colts attachment.
105:46
Yeah, look, I've only really seen Harps kind of play through the Colts in the last few years.
105:51
But I guess with those genes, it's pretty hard to go wrong.

So Zach, in simple terms, why did you straighten things up? Why, why have Claremont bounced back? 'Cause you went through a bit of a patch there where your form w- it wasn't bad, but you just weren't getting the wins.
3:22
Yeah, I guess, uh, there's not, like, one thing you can kind of put your finger on, I guess.
3:27
I think we were...
3:28
Game execution late in games, we kind of weren't executing the right, the right things at the right time.
3:34
Um, I guess people needed to understand what type of game mode we needed to go into, and I guess that kind of lost us games.
3:41
Um, so we've kind of done a fair bit of work on that, but just...
3:45
Yeah, I guess good teams do go through purple patches and do have losses at some stages.
5:17
Just tell us a bit about your view on Harper Banfield, his progression y- through his PSA and his Claremont Colts attachment.
58:41
Tell us, what's the difference between the first six rounds of the season when you won every game and the next six when you've won two, lost four? Been in quite a few of those games, but clearly not flying as much as you did in the first bit of the season.
58:59
Yeah, it's been a weird one.
59:01
I feel like probably... have gone away from, I guess, our game style a little bit.
59:08
We've been pretty scrappy, I guess, in some of our wins.
59:13
Injury doesn't help as well.
59:15
I know you can't blame it all on that, but, you know, when you lose a few key players to your structure and your game plan, it can throw it out a little bit.
59:23
So, yeah, we kind of just need to get back to playing our confident footy, moving the ball how we want to move it, and hopefully we can do that today.
63:55
Are you still playing that role that you started with or have you gone back to playing a bit more forward as well as
