BO: How are you finding the challenges of coaching?

CM: I’m doing a mentor program through Netball Victoria and part of that was I needed to be coaching at a senior level. I thought I’d take it with two hands and go for it in case I don’t get the opportunity again.

BO: Have you found a difference between the Hume and Tallangatta league?

CM: I tend to find a few more ex-Ovens and Murray players are coming through because of the location around the area of Tallangatta league clubs.

BO: I see Georgette Meunier has headed back to Tigerland, is there any other big pickups or departures?

CM: Sarah Cardwell played at Wodonga Bulldogs a few years ago and Bec Hansen have come in and naturally worked together these past couple of games.

BO: Any young players we should keep an eye on?

CM: We’ve got Chloe Butters in our A grade who is only 17 and she came runner-up in the best and fairest last year.

BO: You’re playing again?

CM: I missed a bit of the pre-season with a foot injury, but it has recovered really well, so I’m certainly keen to play as much as I can.

BO: Most memorable coaching moment?

CM: The two premierships I got at Thurgoona. We made history by winning four flags in a row.

BO: Something most people wouldn’t know about you?

CM: Off the court I’m the first to have a laugh at myself and have a good dance and a singalong.
