0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Dan Houston.

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to your dad could have you in nice kid.

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it is pretty sum shouldn't it.

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's very sharp.

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 2>It's very warm as well. I'm looking aboard again outside,

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's cool.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Calls it.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 3>They never failed gear.

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>The racing.

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing one today.

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Dave Lloyd text of that said, looks like a fashions

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>on the field sort of get.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Used a little form guard in the top Puckett.

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, Hey, Dan, you must have doing doing this radio spot.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 3>You must have some weeks like last week where you

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 3>go go on radio days after the showdown.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Talk about that never with you.

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Conversely, you must have other days whether the alarm goes

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 3>off and you've got a spring in your step that

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>I reckon. That is the best port win I can remember.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Is extrawdinary what you did in Geelong.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it is. It is if it is a little

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>bit extraordinary when you look back on it, and it's

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a clear reminder that seven days is huge in footage. Yeah,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>genuinely flat. This week really up and about that was

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a really good win. I can't remember too many more.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got close in pregims which would have probably topped it,

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>but that probably Yeah, the thing that.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Makes it so good though, And I reckon, if you're honest,

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I reckon everyone in the team. You must go to

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Geelong thinking we'll probably stuff to you, but we'll do

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 3>our best so to actually win.

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the hardest kicking foot And with all the

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 2>injuries too.

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it was that they were pretty full strength.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They will planning some really good footing and we had

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>some injuries and you know, I think we all chipped

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in really like, all contributed really well, and there wasn't

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>anyone where you go, yeah, probably you know, left it

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to too few people. Everyone chipped in and we got

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the result and stuck to our game plan, which is

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>really important.

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>What was the message? We talked about it a lot

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 2>during the week. How do you talk about going to

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a game where you're so such a massive underdog, you've

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>come off a bad loss and to boot, you've got

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a whole stack of injury suddenly to do with. So

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 2>what what was was there? You know, A couple of

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>words that everyone spoke about all week was a normal

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>prep What stuck with you about the lead up to

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we felt like we're a little bit flat in

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>the show down, a little bit boring and stagnant in

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the way we played, and we wanted to come out

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>to Gelong with a bit of energy and play, you know,

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a more exciting brand of offense so that we could

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't have to defend for long periods

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 1>of time. And we felt like we were able to

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>put the the pressure on Gelong with our offense and

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>put them under pressure to defend. And we came at

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>them and got them on the back foot, which was

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>what we wanted to do.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>So the shackles were off.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>The shackles. Yeah, it felt like that the shackles were

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>off and that there was a lot of freedom. We

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>simplified it down and what we wanted to do, move

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the ball, be aggressive and I think it was fifty

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>points in the first quarter. I really spoke of that.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>We had Zach Butter's on seven News last night. He

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>was filling in doing some captaincy duties with Connor Rosie out.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>He said, he's strengthen foot, he's not talking, so he

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>kept it short before the game.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember what he said, Nah, I think Buzzy's

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>actually undermining himself a little bit. I thought he was

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>really good and he spoke really well, I can't remember

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>exactly what he spoke about, but you know, as a

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>playing greut, we wanted to take a little bit of

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>buttsy into how he played and tough and aggressive and

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little bit cheeky. Say I thought he

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>did really well. Honestly say, I think Buzzy's just trying

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to get a little bit of a couple of compliments

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>here or there.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you you do you talk much with the group before?

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Because you started you were really quiet. I remember you've

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>said to us before when you first came into Putty

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>these days, are you you loud? Do you keep yourself

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>in the sort of the pre match build up?

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty I'm pretty quiet, and I'd sort of stick

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to myself a little bit in the pre match warm up,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>But once I'm on the field, I feel like I'm

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more vocal and get outside myself. And yeah,

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>with the you know, less experienced players on the weekend,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I had to, you know, sort of

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>over exaggerate that a little bit.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>And you mentioned some of the prelings before. It feels

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>to me, and you know this might sound judgmental or harsh,

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 3>but it feels that ports problem and to the extent

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 3>that you've had a problem over the last sort of

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Underkin's tenure is just lacking that little bit of extra

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 3>mental edge, the self confidence to really nail big opponents

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 3>in big games. And that's why I think this is

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 3>the best win you've had because it was like for Ken,

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 3>it's like I can coach, you, guys can play, we

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>can do this, So how do you sort of you

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>can probably generate like an enduring benefit from Cardinia Park

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 3>last week to take it into things like the prelimbs.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm sure it will be referenced

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>throughout the year, showing that you know, with you know,

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a team that was probably a little bit less experience

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>playing a team that was really experienced, if we can

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>stick to our game plan and it'll get it done

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>against anyone anywhere.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, totally.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>I think that'll be a really good message for us

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>throughout the season. And as you said, it might be

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that little bit of belief that we need.

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Because even the start was incredible, but the hanging on

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 3>was really impressive too, like because they were coming a

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 3>big time at the end. So it's sort of like

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 3>the twin challenges of football attacking well, but then holding

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>on to a lead like the second half was as

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 3>extraordinary as the first.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah was.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>We got obviously tested in both ways, you know, coming

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>out and having to respond from last week, and then

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>we had to hold on in the end, which we

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>probably didn't think we put ourselves in that situation. So

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>there's there's heaps of little lessons out of that. Yeah,

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and Gelong were coming at us and I thought it

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>was really strong connection point of us to be able

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to hold on there at the end.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Selection day to day, How has the skipper looked on

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>the track this week? And do you reckon? We'll be

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 2>back in Yeah.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>So we've got main training tomorrow and we also had

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>a training session yesterday kind of did everything. So I

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>think he'll be a test to see how he goes

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.119
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow in main training. And then we've got a few others.

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Lockie Jones might be a test too, and

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, I think tre McKenzie will be back as well.

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think there's a few players that will be

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>in the.

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Selection Sunday game, isn't it.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So you've got the Sunday games, yeah, yeah, yeah, so

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a squad tonight and then obviously it'll be

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>refined on Friday.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, all the best. So the Hawks here you have

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>played actually some decent footy surprised the teams recently, so

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you have to be on your on your on your game,

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.279
