INSIDER: Congrats on reaching the Prelim Final - how's the morale of the group heading into Saturday?

HARLEY INGLIS: Everyone's really excited. Tough loss to Melton last week but we trained well this week - I’m hoping that translates to a win on Saturday.

INSIDER: It must have been pretty surreal playing three senior games last year and winning a flag - how were you feeling about footy given an apprenticeship back through the twos - was senior footy always on the radar?

HI: I was hoping always to get back - I thought I'd run out of time but it was awesome to get the call up for the finals. Rapt!
