But against play. 204 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: Four finals, this sea of three now I felt likes 205 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: that sort of performance coming all week from the attitude 206 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: of the players. 207 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: This is very special for the Dockers. 208 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: This is the best ie. Not the Doggers. Charge and 209 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: charge and charge again. 210 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. 211 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: Finally, the Doggers are the comings back to the finals. 212 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 4: Question a week about press or amount of history about hate? 213 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Put it matters has not products that best footy has 214 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: been against the best side, so we should be full 215 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: of belief and understand that we can beat anyone. And 216 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: the pain for the Bulldogs for we felt well after 217 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: the echoes of the final sien faith. 218 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: Everyone's you know, it's flat because a shot cutters. 219 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: There's no idea about that. 220 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: It's a mighty, mighty performance for the Fremantle dockers. 221 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: How good is that? Jared? 222 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: Well done everyone upstairs. That is just an extraordinary package. 223 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: And this is the end of a home and away 224 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: series that every single game has been covered, right I'm 225 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: just giving Fox Footy a pump up here. 226 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: This is your home of footy right here. 227 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: Every single game has been covered from around the country 228 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: at the highest level and now we're about to launch 229 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: in the finals for the first time. 230 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: So standby. You're going to enjoy the next month or so, 231 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: is your beloved snake. 232 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: Yes, So the emotions were raw and this is why 233 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: Fremantle took the leap and the Dogs sit and await 234 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: their fate. It's the cruelest purgatory that the game has 235 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: really ever seen. It's a home finals for the Giants 236 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: and Freemantle and just the order of seventh eighth, the 237 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: ninth to be determined. It was a landmark day for Fremantle, was. 238 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. It was. 239 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 2: They did an outstanding job at Marvel Stadium where not 240 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: many people thought they could. 241 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 3: I understand that they had their backs to the wall. 242 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: They thought that the world had turned on them. 243 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 2: They are inspired by the fact that no one gave 244 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: them a chance. And I thought the coach led the way. 245 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: His press conference was outstanding. I thought he stood up 246 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: and he spoke beautifully in the post game. And if 247 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: that's a sign of things to come, then they got it. 248 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: There a chance. 249 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 2: And the thing is they've embered sixteen points down a 250 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: court of time. Let's not forget this. And they absorbed 251 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: an enormous amount of territory to the Western Bulldogs. And 252 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: the Western Bodogs fell into the trap that Freemantle did 253 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: the week previously. 254 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: They just banged it in. They thought, we've got the 255 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 3: tall tim but we'll just bang it in. They banged 256 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: it in and kept going in and. 257 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: The Dockers stood up and from that point on they 258 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: got moving and it was as good a Freeman of 259 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: Docker performances I've seen for a long time as disappointed 260 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: as they were the week before. They suggested it wasn't 261 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: that bad. That's okay, you've got to sell the positive. 262 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: But to come out and play like they did, they 263 00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: got to work in the middle. 264 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: The centerbound stuff was great. 265 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: So they won centa Bounce against the best cent a 266 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: Bounce experienced. 267 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 3: Team in the comp by five. 268 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: That was really important because that means that the defense 269 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: of the Western Woodogs was under pressure right from the 270 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: word go. 271 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: And he had pierspa On Darcy. 272 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: Darcy doesn't score, doesn't score at all, and Norton's kept 273 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: him check by check by cox. So all those things 274 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: conspired to give them a good look at the front half. 275 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: So I like the Justin long Muir persona, and I 276 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: like that he doesn't like the narratives that have been 277 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: built up around Fremantle, so he spent a little bit 278 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: of time cracking those down. But this is the theater 279 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: that the club, not just his team, but the club 280 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: has failed at repeatedly. And that was part of the 281 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: burden that you carry until you conquer it. And they 282 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: conquered it. And even though they have won a final 283 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: under long Muir, this was the peak moment and it 284 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: does set them up for what comes next. What was 285 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: imprinted on all of us, I think was what you 286 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: showed us last week around their forward setup and how 287 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: they go about it, and they found splendid isolation. 288 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love this, you know how much I love 289 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 2: you know seeing what happens for to the ball. So 290 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: just remind you last week to the frustration of having 291 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,479 Speaker 2: these targets to shoot at and not taking advantage. 292 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: And this was what we showed you last week. 293 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: This was a hot Josh Tracy that had just to 294 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: kick two goals against Brisbane, and we thought, right, I 295 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: let him loose, let him loose, and yet they didn't 296 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 2: work together at all. They didn't work for one another, 297 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: and they made him easy to defend. So the ball 298 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: comes in, they go all start jumping on each other's 299 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: head and they lose any initiative that they had. Fast 300 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: forward to yesterday. Look at Amos just peel off here. 301 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: He says, no, No, let's isolate Tracy on Lob and 302 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: Rory Love had a shock at Rory Love doesn't want 303 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 2: to defend like this, And this is a nice separation. Again, 304 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter who it is, but the space for 305 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: Lob trying to defend back shoulder here as opposed to 306 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: him seeing the ball and intercept marking, which he's done 307 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: so well. 308 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: And then this brings a tear to my eye. It's stupid, 309 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: but this is not getting in each other's way. And 310 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 3: Tracy again gets the one out. 311 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day you saw Voss 312 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: hitting up and Amos hitting up and at three goals, 313 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: three Amos, three goals, Tracy bang away. 314 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: They go big win. 315 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: It was unmissible, it's unmissed. 316 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: So that's hard to you know, There's there's some big 317 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: forards that are going to run around in September, but 318 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: they've got three really good ones. 319 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: They're going to be hard to defend. 320 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: Caleb'sarrong will be there. There was that curious moment of 321 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: he argued with the umpire at the time he got 322 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: to the ball first and it ends up being high 323 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: contacts on Croft. The free kicks paid and he went 324 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: to ask his coach in the aftermath, door, I haven't 325 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: anything to worry about. It hadn't even occurred to justin 326 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: long view that it was something. It's not as it's 327 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: all been cleared by the MRA. 328 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: That's how far we've come as a code so that's 329 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: a good thing in a way, but there's no issue there. 330 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: It's first at the footy, So Carleb's wrong got hands 331 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: to the ball ahead of Craft, who was super impressive 332 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: from a Western Bulldogs born of him. 333 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: For the Western Bulldogs. So there was a truth contained 334 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: in this, wasn't there? It was the truth that we 335 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: wanted to overlook all those who are holding the candle 336 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: for the Bulldogs and wanted to overlook the whole way through. 337 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: They hadn't stacked up against the top nine teams. The 338 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: only one they'd beaten throughout the course of the season 339 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: with the Giants, who funnily enough, if Gold Coast took gas, 340 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: they'd be playing the Giants of elimination Final. They probably win. 341 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: Just set that to the site. The truth of just 342 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: not being good enough is there are parts of their 343 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: game that seduces you, and there are critical flaws in 344 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: the games that they just don't have covered. Are you 345 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: glass full or empty on them? Is this a wasted 346 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: campaign or is this the precursor of what's to come? 347 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: Well, I can't be any other than glass half full, 348 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: which might surprise many. But they've got two thirds of 349 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: the puzzle all sorted out. Their midfield is elite, they're 350 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: Ford and the number one is going to them the 351 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: comp we know, so this is as obvious and playing 352 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: for me as any of the teams in the off season. 353 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: He's go to work and do what Melbourne did when 354 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: they got to a position where they were going to 355 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: contend and may and leave came from other clubs and 356 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: this has happened throughout. Collingwo went and got Billy Frampton, 357 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: not a big name, played a pivotal ry when they 358 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: won a premiership. 359 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: Supporter Jeremy Howe and. 360 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: The others Hawthorn went out and got Brats and battle 361 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: you've got Adelaide went out and got mar Quene. So 362 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: that is what lies ahead because whilst they didn't win 363 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: and they can't run away from that, they can't hide 364 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: against those top nine sides. The average losing margin was 365 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: fourteen points. 366 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 3: Stared. 367 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: I think they can pull back fourteen points against the 368 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: best teams in the competition if they get this part 369 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: of the game because the rest of the game is 370 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: in really good order. Don't fall into the trap are 371 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: thinking this is the best list in the competition. 372 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 3: That is a nonsense. They've got two thirds of the 373 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: best list, but their back half is not anywhere near it. 374 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: So that's the job. 375 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: Go to work, use what you've got at your disposal, 376 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: See who's dispensable, see who you can try and jag 377 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: it like not the Callum Milkie wants to go anywhere. 378 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: But that's the sort of bloke that you go after 379 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: to say, hey, let's put this deal in front of 380 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: you because everything else is in good order. 381 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: I think they're hugely attractive proposition to go to as 382 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: a key defender. So I don't know whether it ends 383 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: up being Jack Sulavanna or whether that's the player that 384 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: they need. 385 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: They him and more. 386 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: Yes, yes so because the generational forwards that darciars Croft 387 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: shows great signs Norton. They are on the clock in 388 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: the Bontempelli years. This is the bit that disturbs me 389 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: a little bit. So since their previous ground final appearance, 390 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: they've missed the finals twice. They've gone out in the 391 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: elimination finals twice. I think that's the bitter edge to yesterday. 392 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: This was the year. I know their age profile doesn't 393 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: have them ending anytime soon, but it was time to 394 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: challenge for the top four. They've ended up missing the 395 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: EPES in all likelihood, so that part of it's a fail. 396 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: But you do watch aspects of the game, go why 397 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: can't they get this to work? And personnel's part of it. 398 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: I suspect there's a systematic adjustment that has to be 399 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: made in the all team defense as well. 400 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah so personneal As I said, it's fourteen point average 401 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: losing margin against these best sides. 402 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: So it is personnel. 403 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: But it also is for Luke to go to work 404 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 2: now and have a look at his own system and 405 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 2: the only way he wants to play with his defensive 406 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 2: coaches and say where do I need to make some change? 407 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 2: I don't so much worry about the worry. So he's 408 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: got a premiership marker, Spontan Peali, and he knows where 409 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: he's at. He's a big boy. They're still in very 410 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: much in contention. 411 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: Unt excuse me. 412 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: I don't bag for the Western Bulldogs and I heard 413 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: some of the stuff today. You know that Western Bulldog 414 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: supporters a heartbreak and I get it, But hang in, 415 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 2: hang in. Maybe Croft is one of the answers going back. 416 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: Maybe Kroft goes back and becomes Jeremy Howe mark too. 417 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 3: That's sort of. 418 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 2: That's what's got to be explored in the summer months 419 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: for the Western Bulldogs and go and explore. 420 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Hard the Brisbane Lions. So they're burn Brough, they're carrying 421 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: sixty seven kilos and the handicap I didn't get them. 422 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: They still qualified for the double chance who put that 423 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: chart up before nine and four against the teams than 424 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: matter so more games than anybody else was subjected to, 425 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: more wins than anyone else registered. 426 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 2: They are. 427 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: They are the defending champs for a reason. Their best 428 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: remains the best. 429 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was walking around today and I was trying 430 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 2: to think, if you were still playing, who would you 431 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: want to play with? 432 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: I reckon, You'd love playing in this site. 433 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: They're just so honest And I know they've had their 434 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 2: up and down moments this year on the back of 435 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: a premiership, but with everything that's worked against them, with 436 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: the draw that they've had to contend with, that still 437 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: finished where they're finished and effectively they played against Hawthorne 438 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 2: who are playing for their life and they replaced down 439 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: to her and. 440 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: Hipwood with Day and Gallup. So just have a think 441 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: about that for a minute. 442 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 2: Your two tools, you contenders, You Joe down to her 443 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 2: your big name player, and then Hipwood who you know, 444 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: where Eric is, He's a role player. They're not there, 445 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: So Dane Gallup come in, and then Marshall comes in 446 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: a whole host of others. I think what Chris Fagan's 447 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: done is extord and the stories of you. We'll get 448 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: to Geelong in a moment, and we'll get to Matthew Nicks. 449 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: But this is I think one of the great performances. 450 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: And I loved it when Chris said it he's press 451 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: conference that this is our best home and away season 452 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: ever and I would have to agree, given the challenges 453 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: that have confronted them. No locking near there on the 454 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: weekend as well. I'd love to play footy with these bokes. 455 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: They've got a critical massive young players. I remember early 456 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: last year when things look to have turned Sarah on 457 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: the open question was where's their young talent coming from? 458 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: Their young talent is frighteningly before us. So they've got 459 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: that blend of they've got their veterans, they've got their champions, 460 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: but they've got a call of young players who are 461 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: going to keep their men and around contention for years 462 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: to come. 463 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: Five in the under the AFL under AFL pick an 464 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: under twenty two team, which is in all Australian under 465 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: twenty two. 466 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 3: They got five in there. 467 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: The reigning premiers have got five and they've got more 468 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: kids to come in this draft via the academy. So oh, 469 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: I bring this game on. They've been superb. They've been 470 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: absolutely magnificent and we've talked about the previous two premiers 471 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: haven't been able to get there at all. Well they've 472 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: got there, and they've got there with a double chance Geelong. 473 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: So what is it? 474 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Eleven out of fifteen top four qualifications under Chris Scott 475 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: and seven of those are top two, which is where 476 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: they've gone through again. So the capacity to sustain excellence 477 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: is like we've never seen before. 478 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: Now, you know, you've got to stop and think about 479 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: that too. 480 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: If you barrack for a side that can't get there, 481 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: or you barrack for a side that fleetingly sticks its 482 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: head into September and then disappears because it's a bit hard, 483 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: then you go and look at these numbers. So everything 484 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: we say about the Brisbane lines, Chris Scott's been doing 485 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: it for longer, and Chris Gott and his team have 486 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: been doing it for longer so I'm not sure. 487 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 488 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: What you know? 489 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: The superlatives are all sit really comfortably on them and 490 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: they've done it in a pretty disarming way because they 491 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: haven't played anyone really and it's not being disrespectful for 492 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 2: the past six or seven weeks. They just front up, 493 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: their system, stands up and they go methodically about dismantling 494 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: whoever they're playing. So they would be looking forward to 495 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: playing against Brisbane as much as any and mcg so Brisbane. 496 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 2: I remember talking to Fakes down at gm HbA.
