On the Elimination Final win against the Bulldogs:

“It was such a good performance. Probably the first time we've done that all year really consistently. And that's been the aim for us each and every game. And so to finally have that come to fruition is really nice as a playing group and gives us great confidence heading into next week.”

On preparation for the Sem-Final against Geelong:

“The game against Fremantle kind of set us up well. That was probably as ‘finals-like’ as you could get without it being an ‘actual’ final. The basis of out gameplan is kind of what finals footy is in contest and pressure. So running out, you obviously know it's a final, but for the girls, it's another game. Let's just do what we do best, which is our pressure game. And we felt like we bought that for four quarters.”

On former QBE Sydney Swans Academy players Maddie Quinn and Immy Brown’s development:

“We just said, you've got a role to do, you know your role, they were able to execute it perfectly. I think Maddie Quinn is one that comes to mind, she was enormous for us. To be up against such an experienced ruck and to play the way she did will give her great confidence. I'm so pleased for her.

She's played every game this year and she's come such a long way, as have all our young girls. Immy Brown's another

one that has come a really long way. So we'll need them again this week.”

On the Swans Semi Final opponent, second placed Geelong:

“Geelong are a very experienced side, they've played some really good football all year. To play Geelong, especially in Geelong, is always a tough game. We played them last year and I feel like the girls know that the teams don't look too dissimilar. We'll take a bit of confidence from that.

On being in the mix for the McClelland Trophy:

“ To put ourselves in this position is obviously awesome. And the work that so many staff do around the club, the upstairs commercial staff, if we were able to get it done, it would be massive for us as a football club.

The boys obviously had an outstanding season in terms of their win-loss record. And there's no doubt that some of the girls are talking about it. We'll embrace it, it's obviously a big game, finals-wise, but also for that reason as well.

On Chloe Molloy going down back late in the Elimination Final:

“In terms of having that flexibility to push Chloe back, clearly it was a masterstroke move from the coach's box to negate the wind a little bit, to put some of her composure down there.

She was unbelievable behind the ball. She obviously played earlier in her career down back, so she's got that experience. But for Colin and the staff, just to back her in and back us in to get the job done up the field, too, was really pleasing.

On Tanya Kennedy’s performance

“TK's work in the middle was enormous, 17 tackles in the end is incredible. She's definitely developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the competition. The best thing about Tanya is she's not just a tagger she can get her hands on the ball as well and be really damaging. We're lucky enough to have her on our side. I would hate playing against her.
