Q: What was said at quarter time to turn the boys around?
RW: We needed to get more numbers to the ball and we were very reactive in the first quarter. We needed to get after it.
Q: How impressed were you with the way the boys rallied after the first!?
RW: We got our hands on the footy. We got inside 50 and began to do our thing. We didn't turn up in the first quarter.
Q: When is Tom Lee going to get a go?
RW: Tommy has had a few different roles for the last few weeks and needs to keep building his game.
Q: Rohan, I feel our biggest challenge with the list we have is keeping them together to build for real success, have the club got a plan in place to avoid losing our youth to the bigger clubs?
RW: Our young guys are already committed and as the team improves, the real spirit will improve also.
Q: How come Shane savage didn't play?
RW: Geary came back in and so did Delaney. Save will get another chance, he just needs to continue to work on the balance of his game between offence and defence.
Q: When is Saad back in?
RW: Saad was rested this week and he's a rookie so while the team is playing well, good performances are required at VFL level to earn selection.
Q: Do you think having the two ruckman is working?
RW: Hickey has been giving us a real go up forward so we are happy.
Q: Can we expect to see Acres and McKenzie in the team for a long time?
RW: That’s the plan. They are the future!
Q: How far off is Hugh Goddard from being selected?
RW: He's building and learning and played well in the VFL yesterday.
Q: Why are sides jumping us in the first quarter? Is it our pre-game?
RW: In the first five rounds we won every first quarter. The last couple of games we have been slow, but we will look at it during the week.
Q: Who would win an arm wrestle between you and Richo?
RW: Me for sure! Richo was a nuggety back pocket and I was a full forward!
Rohan Welsh joined us for pre-game chat and will be hosting a Q&A on Facebook 30 minutes after the final siren. #HowIWantToBe
