Speaker 6: gone through the past couple of years and you sort

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 6: of see them go through their journey and sort of

53
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 6: to be in that position now, it's something I really Yeah,

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 6: I'm really excited about it.

55
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: Is it bad to me?

56
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 8: And I don't know for it what custom that is

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 8: in this regard to Is it okay me to ask

58
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 8: what team you'd like to go to?

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 9: Well?

60
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone?

61
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: Do you know the cat Now?

62
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 9: I go for North Melbourne?

63
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 3: Do you want to go there?

64
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: So?

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,000

Speaker 9: I'm happy anywhere.

67
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 6: It's always sort of been my dream, but yeah, North Melbourne, Yeah,

68
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 6: that would be nice. I'm always always followed them since

69
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 6: I was a young Kiden.

70
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 9: You're a lot to help them out here.

71
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: Surely the folks would want to keep you in Victoria

72
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: though I think they.

73
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: Were ideally they would like me too, but I think

74
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 6: there is a chance that it could be in the

75
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: state as well.

76
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 9: So either way, I think they're going to be some

77
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 9: proud of it now.

78
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: So this is how the first few picks work. West

79
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Coast got the first couple, then Richmond got to, then

80
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Essendon got to, then Melbourne had got to, So I

81
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: mean it could very well be staying in Victoria depending

82
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: on where you go. How are your parents right now,

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320

125
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,839

127

129
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: But if you get drafted, Like how quick do you

130
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: start at the club?

131
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 6: I think you can vary, Like if I go into State,

132
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 6: there's a big chance of fly out Friday.

133
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 4: He can still have a big night at Lammis.

134
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: When did you turn eighteen? Josh and April? So you

135
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,520

136
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: Quickly, who do you who do you admire?

137
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,479

142
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 6: He's played four hundred plus games and I think he's

143
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 6: playing before he is even born. So if I line

144
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,360

145

147
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,680
