INSIDER: What has impressed you most about going back to Sunbury?

Cody Brand: Enjoying my footy, playing with mates.

INSIDER: You're known to a few as a 'key back' - how was your Round 1 experience playing as a deep forward (kicked 1.4) - are you expecting to play a full season forward?

CB: Yes it would be great, loving the change and dynamic.

INSIDER: Great win over North Ballarat, Cody... what advice would you give opposition clubs preparing to play Brendan McCartney's boys?

CB: Run and gun - make the most of your opportunities.

INSIDER: Give me your votes for Saturday's win over North Ballarat....

CB: 5.J.Guthrie (Sunbury), 4. J.Chatfield (North Ballarat) , 3. H.Power (Sunbury), 2. J.Bygate (Sunbury), 1. S.Crameri (North Ballarat)

INSIDER: Describe how your coach Travis Hodgson was feeling after the win on Saturday?

CB: Very excited but grounded. Reminded us consistency is the key.

INSIDER: External expectations on the club this season are high, what are they like inside the four walls?

CB: No ceiling, we're a young group - one week at a time.

INSIDER: You've got Melton this week, tough ask - how are the confidence levels? Only Sunbury and North Ballarat beat them last year - that's a plus....
