INSIDER: Great start to the season for the Burra with a big win over the Lakers - what did you guys do particularly well and what area do you see the greatest for improvement?
ADAM FORBES: (Did well): Pressure and trust (Room for Improvement): Four quarter output.
INSIDER: Tell us about your role and the challenges of being a small forward…
AF: (Role): I start with the pressure, love a turnover goal. (Challenges): limited opportunities to score.
INSIDER: Name the #1 non-negotiable we would expect your new coach, Tony Lockyer, to write first on the white board?

INSIDER: You look like you love a goal Adam, what's been your best return over the journey?
AF: 7 vs Redan for Mt Clear U/17
