00:00Hi, I'm Georgia Smith from the Border Mail.
00:03Hi, I'm Brent Goodie.
00:05I've just been putting the finishing touches on the footy magazine for this year.
00:09We're playing the league starts this week.
00:12Who are you tipping to win at Georgia?
00:14This season I'm tipping Key West Sandy Creek to be premiers again.
00:19After missing out last season, obviously, to Chilton,
00:22I think they're going to come back pretty determined.
00:26What about you?
00:27I think it could be a big night for the Hawks grand final and they could get the double.
00:31The double?
00:32Yep, I'm on the Hawks bandwagon.
00:34They're recruited well.
00:35They've got Cooper Daly, Spencer Jones, which will add to their midfield,
00:39and Guy Telford back.
00:41It'll be interesting to see what impact he can have up forward for them.
00:45The last three years it's been heartache.
00:48Two losing grand finals.
00:50I lost the preliminary final last year.
00:53I think their hunger could be the difference when they get out to Sandy Creek again this year.
00:57Yep, it sounds like the netballers and the footballers are all hungry.
01:01Yeah.
01:03Who's the big improver in the netball?
01:05A big improver?
01:07I think coming off the back of last season,
01:09Wigania was a big improver.
01:11I think they went from near the bottom to just missing out on finals.
01:15I think that they have the potential to push for finals again this season.
01:21Also, Dedering making finals for the first time last season in over 20 years.
01:27I think if they can make finals again, that would be a pretty big achievement for them.
01:31Yep.
01:32What about you? Who do you see?
01:34I think Midder can play finals if everything goes right.
01:40They've got one of the best recruits in the competition in time and tournament.
01:44They'll be well coached by Bo Packer.
01:47After not having played finals since 2018, we'll be hungry to get back out there to Sandy Creek.
01:53You've mentioned a few, but who have been some of the best recruits this season?
01:59It's hard to go past Elliot Powell.
02:02He played a bit of cat and mouse tactics by telling everyone he's retired
02:06and then announces he's back at Talangata on the eve of the season.
02:11Dedering's pain will be Talangata's gain.
02:15He'll feature heavily on Barton Metal Night.
02:20Another big signing is Braden O'Hara.
02:23Being there, done that, it's interesting how well he can go in the Talangata League.
02:35And how could you forget Marty Brennan?
02:38Marty Brennan, a lavvy premiership player, hasn't played much footy in the last two years,
02:44but he's only 28 and he should just dominate the competition as well.
02:48Who are the names to look out for in the netball?
02:51As far as recruits this season, I think he or Sandy Creek have picked up
02:56probably one of the most impressive with Sarah Jones coming from Albury.
03:00She's going to be really handy and it's going to be hard to beat Kiwa's defensive end this season.
03:07I think they're going to be very strong defensively.
03:09Another one is Jamie Sanderlands who's come in for Chilton.
03:13He's played for other Glenn previously and spent some time in the O&M as well.
03:17So yeah, they should bolster those sides.
03:21Yep, it's going to be interesting how it all unfolds.
03:25Thanks for watching.
