means of tracking down the

“What is it on the group? Ah with a K” 2:40
“Oh yeah Jed, when we are in offence and defence as 2:56
well, just hang around the bottom of the ring. Because
you’re tall, we will just pass it to you and you can just get
the easy layup. So, yeah always be hanging around just
under the ring. I don’t think they will pick up on it, it’s no
district ball”

even team”
“Oh really? Yeah, you’ve got the footy cogs working! So 3:23
yeah, going down the sides can be a bit of a danger
because you can get cornered, so if you can go down the
middle go for it. But normally, there’s a lot of people in
the middle so it’s hard to get through but it’s better than
going along the sides”
“I’ll try and inbound every time, so I’ll duck and just try 4:03
and... yeah, yeah. Alright, let’s go! You want to go Jed (the
tipoff)? Alright well you guys spread yourselves around
the circle, and we will go that way”
