“I don’t get tired at all. I love it – it’s a good experience for me,” she said.

Antonio, 16, plays for the Blues’ 17 and under and open sides. The goal shooter is enjoying the chance to play alongside experienced goal attack Amy Wormald in the Blues’ top team.

“We get along well and I think we work well together,” she said.

“We are different (type of players) but it’s good. I am more of a holder and she is more of a leader and tells me what to do.”

Antonio believes Warrnambool, sitting sixth on percentage ahead of its clash against Hamilton Kangaroos, can force its way into the finals.

“We have to be positive about it. We all have to have the same mindset,” she said.

Cobden, the side sitting directly above the Blues, plays Portland on Saturday.

Port Fairy hosts South Warrnambool, which is yet to register a win in 2016, in the other split round fixture.
