You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Darcy
Waldgrave from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We get things underway with the Mystics via the Tactics.
It's the Grand Final coming up tomorrow after noon. A
and Z Premiership has been hooping along nicely and now
it is a fight between Canterbury and or Fen. The
Mystics take on the tactics that the trust Areena and
Henderson and we're joined now by Phildert Vuy who's been involved,
(00:34):
of course in the last two triumphs for the Mystics
in this competition. Looking for three on the bounce actually
joins us now to look forward to that field. It
welcome to the program. So tell me what what do
you bring to the exchange.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I think I bring to the court. Yeah, some experience
because yeah, I've been here for a little bit. Now.
I bring shooting confidence. I feel like I'm known for
my turn to shoot or I'm shooting under pressure, also
known for my long wage. So I just try to
(01:11):
do my best to do my role and my team
and be effective on the court.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So the new laws of the new two point rulings,
it's worked very wealthy. Then you've been smiling from me
at a ear once that came in.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Oh yeah, I was so happy to see it because
it really just shows all the guards out there, just
makes us well, it just shows our range more. I
feel like I've been hiding, you know, behind as a
feeding role to to some of my shooter grace then.
(01:48):
So it's been nice to just to get some some
shine or shine a little bit in that circle as
as a guard and showing what I can do as well.
So it's been great when.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You've got you've got another pretty flash attacker in time
worth you as well, Willams, And she's been talking about
how she's enjoyed the experience so much that she feels
so at home and has done from the get go.
It's great to hear, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yes, she's been a huge addition to our team.
She's brought firepower straight into our tax requens. Like really
good person off the court too, Yes, being real cool
to have after losing GG over the ditch, but yeah,
what a bold move for her, and it's it's paying
(02:37):
off and we just want to get that dub for
her too because she's made the sacrifice to come over here.
So no, it's been real cool.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What you're lacking? GG? Is that what Grosswiki's nickname is?
Is it?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah? Sorry, great Miwikia, Yeah we call her GG that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'll start doing that too, and she goes, stop being
so familiar. I don't know you right chatting with inside?
What have you been looking toward for this game? What
has been the the main thrust of the coaching staff?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, I think to full our full sixty minute performance
for us. We wanted to get the vibes up turning
to being shot this week. There's a good mix of
energy and calm in our team, so everyone knows what's
a stick. But we're not getting caught up in the
hype too. We've been just zoning in on the details
(03:31):
and just making sure our connections are tight and that's
what we're bringing on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And that's important, that head space to be in. But
how difficult is it? You can talk all you want
that makes you when you're facing it, is it a
hard place to slide into?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I guess because we've been in the position of the
finals now like two in a row and this could
be our third. For me, pressure just means like moment
matters too, So feel a little bit nervous, then you
know it matters. But I think there's, yeah, there's that
(04:13):
calm side to it because we've been here, we've done it.
So I just try, yeah, follow my normal processes and focus. Focus, Yeah,
focus on the moment and the next moment, remind myself
that I've done the work, and trusting the preparation. Yeah,
(04:34):
it's what keeps me grounded.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I think that nerves are key. I don't. I
think if you have no nerves going into any formal
situation like that, something's not right. You need that bit
of energy in that edge. If you don't have it,
it's like, am I sitting on my lowrils? Am I
relaxing too much? Is that the feeling you get? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I always think that, Like I christioned myself, like should
I be a bit more nervous than normal or like?
But but no, Prescia is part of sport and it
means you're in Yeah, you're in a space people care
about too, and yeah, you just try to change that
into excitement. And then you think about who you're playing for,
(05:16):
your family, your friends, your your teammates that you know
have moved across to your team, like Holly Fowler two.
You move teams so and I just want the people
that haven't experienced a win to just enjoy the win too,
like when when we get it so, yeah, it's just
(05:38):
like we want to work hard for each other and
and really give it out all on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But I love that confidence when we get it done.
This is so good. So let's not underestimate what the
taxes are going to bring because you knock them out
semi finals last year, so they'll want a bit of
revenge and suggest.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yes, yeah, no one wants to lose by that margin.
They're lost, and so I expect them to come out
hard and hungry for a close game too. So now
we don't take it lightly. We know that they're going
to come and want to win for the first time
too for their area. So no, I know it's got
(06:21):
to be hard.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right, you're looking to go back to back to back
and pick up your third consecutive title. Wishing you the
best for that tomorrow. Thank you so much for joining us,
and go hard, play fair, and think and believe you're
going to win. There's half the battle for you, right,
love that attitude.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yes, thank you so much for me.
