The Blues mentor said while she was looking forward to the contest to get a gauge on their early credentials, she was mindful that the season was still young.

“At the end of the day, we’re up to round six – we’re a third of the way through the season,” she said.

“It’s not really a season-defining game, really, so we’ll just take it as it comes. We’ll just take it quarter-by-quarter and see how we go.

“I don’t feel like there’s a lot of pressure.

“We’re confident going into it, but at the same time we know Koroit has been a powerhouse for a long time.”

Cust said the Blues were unsure what their final line-up for Saturday will look like until much closer to the contest.

While all her players are ‘available’ this week, a couple have been unwell and defender Chantelle Moloney hurt her ankle in last weekend’s 10-goal win over Cobden.

Cust said the Blues would likely take a conservative approach with Moloney’s injury, but was confident in whatever team she sends out on the court, lauding the versatility of her players.

“I feel like we’ve got a strong enough side that we can mix it up and put different players on,” she said.

“Our fitness and our versatility, and just how well the players are gelling together (has held us in good stead).

“We’re a really strong defensive team right across the court.”
