Speaker 1: This is five double a football. We're going to head
Speaker 1: to the rooms there, roll we because one of the
Speaker 1: players that put in a great performance today is Billy Dowling.
Speaker 1: He's been good enough to join us. Billy, he was
Speaker 1: a tough old night for footy, but you've got the
Speaker 1: four points. He got better as the game went on. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: What's the over riding emotion after that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Thanks you, I appreciate It's obviously a special feeling
Speaker 2: for the group. We probably haven't had too many of
Speaker 2: those in an underslod games throughout the year, so it's
Speaker 2: great to have an experience with that for the boys,
Speaker 2: and to cap it off with a win is always awesome.
Speaker 3: So Billy camp I have you. Congratulations and well done
Speaker 3: on your start of your career. You've sort of slotted
Speaker 3: into that wing half forward role really well. What was
Speaker 3: the conversation at quarter a time because Saint Kilder were
Speaker 3: probably on top in those key areas and after that
Speaker 3: outstanding really by you guys, and that's probably why he
Speaker 3: got over the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks mate. Yeah, we obviously discussed that. You know,
Speaker 2: we probably won't win in the contestant foot as much
Speaker 2: as we would have liked and they're obviously in an
Speaker 2: under and keeping us quite honest as a club. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just getting in under and you know, it
Speaker 2: was up tossed if we wanted to win the game
Speaker 2: today because it was one around the contest, So we
Speaker 2: just went back to the fundamentals, being clean, hard at it,
Speaker 2: hard to play against. So proud of the boys to
Speaker 2: be able to achieve that throughout the last three quarters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we always I guess we highlight the leaders
Speaker 3: and lead and DAWs and were great again tonight. But
Speaker 3: it was great to see yourself Nan Curvis again. Zach Taylor.
Speaker 3: I thought he was stepped up again tonight. It was
Speaker 3: great to see him get a full game, and we
Speaker 3: loved the job that Hugh bond did on young Higgins.
Speaker 2: Absolutely obviously his special night for Bondie and the club,
Speaker 2: and he was unbelievable. I mean to take out one
Speaker 2: of the games great forwards in the minutes obviously something
Speaker 2: testament to him and he's been slogging away and dominating
Speaker 2: a soundful level. So to see him get his opportunity
Speaker 2: and take it's awesome.
Speaker 3: For the club and a bit of a highlight. Big
Speaker 3: Riley down there with the bid. He looked angry, he
Speaker 3: looked part of the thing, and he's out still running
Speaker 3: two hundreds at the end of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's seen our good has been over the preseason
Speaker 2: and obviously had a rough time with the injury, but
Speaker 2: you know, he's one of the hardest workers of the
Speaker 2: club and he's put on so much size and muscle
Speaker 2: and he's looking as good as ever. So Wow, it's
Speaker 2: going to be scary when he comes out and gets
Speaker 2: full game and good run at it.
Speaker 3: And I love the fact that probably in that third quarter,
Speaker 3: you know, Jake Saligo had twelve possessions and lock your
Speaker 3: Show had ten and and kicked the goal. They were
Speaker 3: pivotal in terms of turning the game really in those
Speaker 3: tough conditions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and to you know, the young boys step
Speaker 2: up and the game are you know, I was in
Speaker 2: there for the balance and out the time three quarter
Speaker 2: was there to be one for you to side. So
Speaker 2: to have those boys step up and take that moment
Speaker 2: was really special for us. And you're right at home
Speaker 2: with the boys, and everyone jumped on board in the
Speaker 2: last couple of halves, and you know, we worked hard
Speaker 2: to finish it off and you know it's your here
Speaker 2: with the four points is obviously the main thing, and
Speaker 2: you know very grateful for that.
Speaker 1: Well, Billy, you belong.
Speaker 4: There's no question about that. The more you play, the
Speaker 4: better you'll get. And we've seen that just in the
Speaker 4: three or four games you played. Talk us through the
Speaker 4: goal at the cathedral in you open them up with
Speaker 4: your right hand and later it over your book. Talk
Speaker 4: us through that nice goal.
Speaker 2: Ye I, reckon andiebout you used to do it, used
Speaker 2: to line it up with a goal, and I just
Speaker 2: started doing that training and then have an opportunity. I
Speaker 2: just sort of go through the routine and get the
Speaker 2: laces in line with the goal, and sure enough I
Speaker 2: went through, which is pretty lucky. So I'll take it.
Speaker 4: And did you think it all about like just kicking
Speaker 4: a drop pund or your knew straight away you've rehearsed that,
Speaker 4: you practice that you thought you'd lay it over your shoulder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, always thought I was going to snap it.
Speaker 2: I think when it comes on home like that, you
Speaker 2: have to be ready to know what to do. So
Speaker 2: we trained it throughout the week and then you get
Speaker 2: comfort in the moment and you know there's no sort
Speaker 2: of second guessing when you're there. So yeah, I was
Speaker 2: definitely always going to go for the snap.
Speaker 4: Can I get back to the cube. I'm not just
Speaker 4: going on Higgins, he wore himlocking love. I just want
Speaker 4: you to have a look around the rooms and make
Speaker 4: sure he's still there because we think, you what in
Speaker 4: the Saint Kilder room sharing with Higgins.
Speaker 2: He didn't give him an into an agent, did he.
Speaker 2: You know, that's why he came to respect for him
Speaker 2: today and to come out and do that obviously a
Speaker 2: step above from the Sandford level. So for him to
Speaker 2: do that, it's just testing it to him and wow,
Speaker 2: he's an absolute animal at the footage and he just
Speaker 2: loves he's doing so Yeah, kulbe Haber as a club
Speaker 2: to see that up in a very special moment. Yea.
Speaker 4: And the third part of the players that have played
Speaker 4: less than ten is Zach Taylor. He's got some beautiful
Speaker 4: sideway moving in traffic. He seems to have time and
Speaker 4: space and movement. It's going to be good from now
Speaker 4: to the end of the year to see players get
Speaker 4: back in by the coaching group because it does give
Speaker 4: the other blokes a bit of a lift.
Speaker 1: You feel that as.
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, we've got some really clean players in the
Speaker 2: Zach Soley, Lady, all those boys. And to learn off
Speaker 2: players like DAWs and Lady, especially for us younger boys,
Speaker 2: it's really important. And you know, to see Solely and
Speaker 2: Zack and the midfield. Just taking the craft of them
Speaker 2: and learn from them was awesome for us. So figured
Speaker 2: outing today for the young boys, especially throughout that midfield,
Speaker 2: which was great.
Speaker 1: Or Billy, it was a fantastic You're sixth of the season.
Speaker 1: You're up to fourteenth after that result. Recover well, Essendon
Speaker 1: Friday night game. It's always nice to play Friday night primetime.
Speaker 4: You're looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's always awesome to me primetime. So now we'll
Speaker 2: recover and get out and then all's going to be awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, the Bombers went down tonight, so they'll be looking
Speaker 1: a bounce back. Seventeen points. Congratulations, enjoy the win.
Speaker 2: I appreciate thanks haarming.
Speaker 1: On really Dowling there joining us from the rooms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you just joined us. It was the Crows by
Speaker 1: thirty two points and across the MCG Melbourne by seventeen points. Campo,
