INSIDER: While you were warm favorites heading in v Darley last week, when did you think you had the game won?
ADAM YOUNG: In the coaches box you never feel completely safe, but 10 minutes to go and a four goal lead was comforting.
INSIDER: How many players do you have at your disposal who have played senior footy this year?
AY: We have used over 50 players across both lists. 30+ at senior level.
INSIDER: Under Aaron Tymms at Melton all three grades train the same game plan - is that the same at Sebastopol or is there a point of difference in the way your 'twos' group wants to play?
AY: It's similar at Sebastopol but we do train as a big group generally playing an aggressive brand across the three grades. We do individualize our groups to tailor a specific message when appropriate.
INSIDER: Do you think run with tagging roles are necessary at the level or should players be able to play with freedoms to push for senior selection?
AY: There's definitely talented players that are warranting more attention than others, however we back our own talent to win out but are flexible to facilitate run with roles if necessary.
INSIDER: Do you have a desire to coach at senior level?
AY: Ever since I had to retire early it's been a goal to be a senior coach but timing is everything.
INSIDER: What other sport could you coach at a high level if there were no footy?
AY: Cricket
INSIDER: In a freakish sense, which player at the club can do things on-field that others can't?

INSIDER: Who at Sebastopol would you like kicking for goal after the siren to win you a game of footy?
AY: Michael Powell - he's kicked more than 200 of them!
INSIDER: Who is the quickest at the club over 30m?
AY: Grady Snowden would say he is!
INSIDER: Who is the best trainer on the track?
AY: Brad Weightman - always gives his all and does extras.
INSIDER: Who is your favorite footy person at the club?
AY: Mick Clark. If you're lucky enough to know Mick, you know why.
INSIDER: Who is the last person you would want to share a room with on a footy trip?

INSIDER: If you had to cook for the whole club what would be your signature dish of approval?
