It ties 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: in Hawthorne fans as to where they're going to be 44 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: traveling to see their final and premantle them.

This is their 60 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: last and best chance to do it. 61 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: And DIMMI sitting there, gun, I've won fourteen games, for 62 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 2: God's sake. 63 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 3: Doesn't that get me a final spot? Not this time. 64 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: You've got to wait right through to Wednesday. So it 65 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: is extraordinary the way it's all played out, and we'll 66 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: continue to build it. I'm very interested to hear of 67 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: it from our Queensland superstars up there and find out 68 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: the moon and the Sun's I'm suspected they'll be calm 69 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: and get the job done, but I'll be interested. 70 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: All right. 71 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: So there's nothing less than royalty on Judy because it's 72 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: such a significant nights of the States. 73 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: Only one good car park, I'm told up there on 74 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: the Gold Coast, and I'm tippin. It's gone to the 75 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: shorter of the two, Jared. 76 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: So the godfather rather than the favorite son. 77 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: Jonathan Brown had Lee Matt is good evening. 78 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 6: To you, thank you, glad to be here, and yes, 79 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 6: Lee got one as in the commentary box. And I 80 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 6: asked the car parking a tenant. She said, you're about 81 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 6: two k's walk across three major highways and you'll eventually 82 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 6: get there, so we know who's the top dog up here. 83 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: But a big night. 84 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 6: Actually, it looks like there might be sixteen or seventeen 85 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: thousand people, which is a pretty good effort on a 86 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 6: Wednesday night. 87 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: Give us the mood Leitha. 88 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: Is they making a case for a very calm, methodical 89 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: approach to this or is there. 90 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: A little bit of tension? 91 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 5: Well, I wonder I think the Son's, particularly the last 92 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 5: couple of weeks, you've had that pressure of expectations and 93 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 5: the consequence of what's going to go on in the game, 94 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 5: but didn't come up last week. I mean, Port were 95 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: very good, but I thought. 96 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: The Sons were very bad. 97 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 5: So they're going to beat Esston nine times out of 98 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 5: ten at Carrara with the teams that have been feeled tonight. 99 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: But is it going to be one of the nine 100 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 5: or one of the one that's always is uncertain. 101 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: So here come the Suns, as the local papers front 102 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: page Brownie, it has to. 103 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: Be tonight, doesn't it. 104 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: This is fifteen years in the waiting. 105 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 6: Yeah it is, Jared. It's a good point and just 106 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 6: the community's talking about it. So this is not you know, 107 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 6: this is not a second tier sport anymore. There's a 108 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 6: lot of Victorians, especially after COVID, a lot of Southerners, 109 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 6: so afl is on the front pages quite a bit. 110 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 6: It's on the tip of people's tongues. So I feel 111 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 6: as if the Suns in past may have walked the 112 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 6: streets relatively anonymous, but it certainly would have been brought 113 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 6: up a few times. So I think they feel that 114 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 6: pressure and it's not a fatal compley. They need to 115 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 6: still get the job done. Tonight should have been a 116 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 6: fighter compley last week, but as we said, Port Adelaide 117 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 6: showed up and invested and show up tonight. I think 118 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 6: gold Coast will feel legitters a little bit. 119 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: You've been in the game up there lethal for a 120 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: long long time. You're delivered for the Brisbane lines. Now, 121 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: how important is it that we get this Gold Coast 122 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: Sons franchise into finals footing? 123 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 5: Well, I think everyone's got to deserve the right, and 124 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 5: they've deserved the Riders. You said they've won fourteen games 125 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 5: already and they might go to fifteen tonight. So you 126 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 5: certainly deserve your birth. You aren't it, you don't get 127 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 5: given it. It's been a long build up over their 128 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 5: decade plus. They're beating the competition, but I still think 129 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 5: they've got heaps of maturity to come within their group 130 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: roundie and that's what. I'm not sure where they are 131 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 5: right now in terms of terms of the competition, but 132 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 5: certainly got a lot of growth to come and Anderson 133 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 5: and Rau. 134 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 4: They'll be much better with Rially back. 135 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 5: And humph which is a unique type of power forward, 136 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 5: so they'll be They're a lot better in the personnels and. 137 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: Ore they are important in So they had five players 138 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 6: named in the All Australian squads, so they've got a 139 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 6: lot of quality, how you say, really and Humphrey back 140 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 6: in as well, say last week calling that game they 141 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 6: just didn't come with a pressure the last quarter they 142 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 6: got family, they made poor decisions when they're moving the 143 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 6: ball from running into the field to the other. So 144 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 6: tonight I think Demi will certainly be looking for greater 145 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 6: composure and being able to handle it hendily occasion better. 146 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: What's the biggest danger, the biggest pit fall that he's 147 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: got to look out for, Lee, Well. 148 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 5: It is actually that that the consequence and the expectation 149 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: gets hold of you. I mean, you've still got an opposition. 150 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 5: The scoreboard is going to be nil nil at the 151 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 5: start of the game, and that's what's all about. 152 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 3: Every game you play led away. 153 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 5: And run, that's got a big consequence on. 154 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: The end of it. 155 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 5: So being able to focus in on what you need 156 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 5: to do to beat the opposition tonight, trying to forget 157 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 5: about the finals part of it. 158 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: To me, that's not a motivation. That just adds stress 159 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 3: and pressure. 160 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 6: Lee. 161 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: If you if you look beverage you're watching tonight or 162 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: you're just waiting to get hold. 163 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 5: I think you'd have to be watching it if you're 164 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 5: very nervous, watch a lot of anxieties. So I don't 165 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 5: think it'll be fun watching no matter what happens. But hey, 166 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: you're still a chance, there's still some hope. 167 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: All right, we'll be back with you shortly. 168 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 7: Thanks a lot, Thanks going great hands on fox Foot 169 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 7: for sure, Hudson and Dwayne Russell calling it are the 170 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 7: big guns that wanted up for the big gun and 171 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 7: so to be fantastic. All right. 172 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: When last we saw the Suns, it was disappointing on 173 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: Friday nights. It ended in tense circumstances. They didn't meet 174 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: their markers.

They're going 180 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: to leave from the front. They're going to take charge. 181 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 8: I'm going to hand it over to them, and we're 182 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 8: going to see what this group's made of, because they 183 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 8: are made out of something special. 184 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Best Foot forwards, D Day Wednesday, Go get it done. 185 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: That's it. 186 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: Just go out and you've done it fourteen times, and 187 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: you've done at that four d and times very very well. 188 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: And I'm sure Damien Hardwick is about to join us. 189 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: Has been reminding of that through the course of the week. 190 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: All right, we've admired a lot of what they've done. 191 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: Now for the final step, Damien Hardwy great if you're 192 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: with us in the build up to the game. 193 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: Thanks for joining us.

We're in a very fortunate 201 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 8: position that the fact that made there is our destinies 202 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 8: in our own hands and. 203 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: It's our story to tell. So look, our boys are 204 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 4: very relaxed. 205 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: You know. 206 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 8: Once again, the consequences are obviously quite die, but we're 207 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 8: really excited about the chance that we are giving ourselves 208 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 8: a chance to play finals footy. 209 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 4: So there's no place we'd rather be. 210 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: It's a great opportunity. It's no question we're looking forward to. 211 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: I was going to ask you. 212 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: About the mood of the group. 213 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: Have you seen anything through the course of the week 214 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: that just suggests that, oh, there's a little weirs of 215 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: thing nerves that haven't seen this year. 216 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 8: No, we sort of spoke about that, it's okay to 217 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 8: feel nervous, like if you're not feeling your nervous, you 218 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 8: shouldn't be playing the game. 219 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 4: Really, it's the same as me that that sense of. 220 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 8: Excitement, you know, nerves all mixed together. But look, obviously 221 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 8: you know once that all bouncers, it'll all go away 222 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 8: and you'll start to play. 223 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 4: So we're really looking forward to the challenge. 224 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 8: And as you said, it's an incredible opportunity for a 225 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 8: football club and one we're hoping to deliver. 226 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: On and reality and Humphrey back, I suspect they're even 227 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: more important, you would know, than the rest of us, 228 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: So both ends of the ground, they'd deliver something a 229 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: little bit different. 230 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 3: And we're looking at Bailey Humphrey right now. 231 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: He seems to be and you'd, I think you'd have 232 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: a great insight into this. How if you ready for 233 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: finals foot you if you have in fact get there. 234 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 3: So they're ready to go, clearly, yeah they are. 235 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 4: Look, you know I was touching go last week. 236 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 8: You know, Humper sort of could have played, but we 237 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 8: thought we'd just be pretty conservative with that one, just 238 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 8: to make sure, and look he's ready to go. Obviously 239 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 8: with a shorter breakmate a little bit more difficult, and 240 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 8: Daniel was probably the same. So you know, both very 241 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 8: very important the way we play a game, you know, 242 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 8: run and. 243 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: Carry off of Rioli off. 244 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 8: That half back line and then the ability for hump 245 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 8: but to you know, win can test a ball inside fifty, 246 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 8: which is something we probably struggled with a little bit 247 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 8: with last week and probably a couple of games he's 248 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 8: been out also, So both incredible. 249 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: Additions for us. 250 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: How did you handle the week, Daman? So five day turnaround, 251 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: there's sharp Did you do the review? Did you immediately 252 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: cast forward at what leave it? 253 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 4: Did you pull? 254 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, we sort of combined a couple of days. In 255 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 8: the one we always review the game and you know, 256 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 8: as I always say, a lot loss is a gift. 257 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 4: There's some things in the game we. 258 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 8: Didn't do very well, and we spoke about that on 259 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 8: the Tell the Truth Monday as we call it. 260 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: But then we move pretty quickly into. 261 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 8: Listen to our game plan where we've got to sit 262 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 8: there and understand we've got a pretty good OPO coming 263 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 8: up against. 264 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 4: Ert in this week. 265 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 8: So you know, for us, it was a very similar 266 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 8: to COVID times. 267 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,359 Speaker 4: You quickly review and you quickly. 268 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 8: Move forward, and you know, as coaching group, and we're 269 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 8: privileged to do what we do. 270 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 4: But we haven't had a. 271 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 8: Day off for a while, so it's. 272 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 4: Been a harrowing a couple of weeks. 273 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: To be honest, where's the biggest threat from an essent 274 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: point of view? And you see where's the one part 275 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: of this guard and they sort of gives you the 276 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: great concern. 277 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 8: Look, I think there's a number obviously, you know merit's 278 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 8: an outstanding player. So that's something will monitor and see 279 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 8: that happen, see how that goes. But obviously they are 280 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 8: own contested mark game. If they control the ball, you know, 281 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 8: it's something that can can you prove advantageous to them. 282 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 8: So we're going to make sure we take that part 283 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 8: of the game, get the game played through a contest 284 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 8: as much as we can. You know, the one thing 285 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 8: that I do know about Scott is he is very 286 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 8: very good at actually manipulating things to how they wanted 287 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 8: to go. 288 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: So the challenge is going to be there. 289 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 8: They've obviously got a different, you know, template of players playing, 290 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 8: but the fact the matter is it makes it more 291 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 8: difficult sometimes the opposition coach because you like the predictability 292 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 8: of how they're going to go about it. 293 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: This is what you went there for. 294 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: Danian, to take a team that hasn't had success to 295 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: the final series. 296 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: Are you feeling just a little. 297 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: Bit different tonight than maybe you have done in the 298 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: previous games with them? 299 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 300 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 4: It is funny. 301 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 8: I was saying to my partner Alex, you know last 302 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 8: week it was I don't think I've been as flat, 303 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 8: to be perfectly honest, you know, to sit there and 304 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 8: lost the game. Obviously it was a really really tough game, 305 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 8: but to sort of sit there. 306 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: And you're just dying to make finals, not only. 307 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 8: For you know, our footy club, our city, the people 308 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 8: have been a part of our journey, you know, the 309 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 8: guys like Dave Swallow, Sammy Day, all these players that 310 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 8: have been hit this fotty club for fifteen. 311 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: Years and the staff that have been here.

So look, we'll be disappointed hopefully 335 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 8: puts in a hell of a performance tonight, because I 336 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 8: certainly know if he does that, we're a better chance 337 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 8: of winning than not. 338 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: You did have fight recognized, though, so I've put your 339 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: equal par with the best of the team. 340 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 3: So that that was good recognition, wasn't it. 341 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? 342 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 8: It was great and you know, obviously a guy like 343 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 8: you know, we know noahr Andson and Matt Row and 344 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 8: Ben King and Lise, but recognition for Ben Long who's 345 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 8: had an incredible season and. 346 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 4: Just one of those players. It is really really important 347 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: the way we play. 348 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 8: Both from an aerial aspect but also a ground level 349 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 8: and the physicality implies on the opposition, so you know, 350 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 8: the recognition for all those guys. And then there's the 351 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 8: old resolute key defender and Sam Collins who you know 352 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 8: could have played in the seventies, eighties, nineties, two thousands 353 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 8: and could just say he's still a modern player now, 354 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 8: but you know he's such a jet of a player 355 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 8: as well. 356 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 4: So we're really privileged and those boys playing with us. 357 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: All right, dem it terrific, Thanks a lot. 358 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: Would you like to win it early? 359 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: Get it done early? 360 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 4: It'd be nice, wouldn't it. 361 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 8: But look, they're always going to be an armorous all 362 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 8: these games and you know Wesden will always do that 363 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 8: and we're expecting that. So once again, you know, if 364 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 8: we just. 365 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: Win, I'm happy with that. Boys. Good luck, I thank 366 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 4: you guys. Had a good night. 367 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: Damien Hardwick, all right, how have you framed it up. 368 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: Where is the threat to them? Where might esen them try? 369 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 3: Well? I had a look at it. 370 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: So they had a few discipline issues last week, gave 371 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: away some fifty pounty. So I'm getting inside mac Andrew's 372 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 2: head right from the start. 373 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 3: I'm not sure who it is. 374 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: That's capable of doing it, but someone's got to go 375 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: to him and start to get inside his head and 376 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: try and take his focus off the game. And I 377 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: do the same with Ben Long to be honest, who's 378 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: so important? Forty two goals to Ben Long? He's had 379 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: that standing season. It was great to see him recognized, 380 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: but he also can lose focus from time to time. 381 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: And obviously pressure on Ben King who sixty two goal season, Jared, 382 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: that's a phenomenal return and he only needs a few opportunities, 383 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: so hard and physical Leverde probably goes to him and 384 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: gets inside his head as well. So they're the three, 385 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: and then you're not going to be able to tag 386 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: row but you've got to try and take Anison out. 387 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: You've got to take one of the two, and they've 388 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: both been down a little bit the last two weeks, 389 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: so Rowl and Durham will probably go head to head 390 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: and that'll be Yeah, that's one that you just love watching. 391 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: And then maybe it's Andy McGrath, the vice captain that's 392 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: moved into the midfield, and you just say to him, mate, 393 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: you know, you take responsibility for Narah Anderson in whichever 394 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: way you think you should take, whether that's run with 395 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: him every minute of the day, whether it's at stoppage. 396 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: Certainly there one and two you've got to take that 397 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: away from them. But they're the three that I identify, 398 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: and then you just go and play. So I think 399 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: it's I don't want to ruin on everyone to watch 400 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: Fox all the way through. I think it's a long, long, 401 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: long shot, but you go in with a plan. Jared, 402 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: that's about three and the rest you just go and 403 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: let them go. 404 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: The Bombers have lost twelve in a row. 405 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: They've tried their hearts out in games along the way, 406 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: they have kept themselves in some they've run out of troops. 407 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Towards the end, they get two back is Durham back 408 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: into the midfield. That gives them a little bit of 409 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: firepower and Leverde returns in defense. So it's probably easy 410 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: to put they have been on such a long journey together, 411 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: facing adversity the whole way through. 412 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 3: This is the last stand. 413 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: I actually don't think you need to make it about 414 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: unseating the opposition. We have been through this for twelve games. 415 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: At the end, can we sing this song one more time? 416 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 417 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: And look, strange things happen when you know that, you know, 418 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: as of ten thirty tonight, your season's over and you're 419 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: up on the Gold Coasts, not a bad place to stay, 420 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: and you can just let the whole disappointment of that 421 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: season sort of sleep out of your skin tomorrow morning 422 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: on the beach, and that does funny things. Yeah, we 423 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: saw it last weekend and it's it is real and 424 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: you think, oh, well that's weekend, it's not you, But 425 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: people go. 426 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: That's it's a real thing. 427 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: When players know the season has come to an end, 428 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: they play with a freedom and a bit of a recklessness. 429 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: We saw Melbourne do it, We saw Carlton do it. 430 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: We saw some kill to do it. These guys that 431 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: have to do it to a whole new level to 432 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 2: get this to where it needs to go. But people 433 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: keep saying stranger things that happened. Someone's going to remind 434 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: me of the stranger thing the nestsen and buying over 435 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: at Gold Coast tonight, but we're going to watch and 436 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: see what happens. 437 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: So the light ladder plays a role tonight as well, 438 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: So win to book a place in the finals, and 439 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: then it's eighth or seventh. Now it depends obviously how 440 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: much Essendon scores, but it's somewhere between twenty seven and 441 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: thirty one points. You don't actually need the Duckworth Lewis 442 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: chat I've got it, but you don't because the live 443 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: ladder will just tick away all night for you to 444 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. 445 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 3: But it is. 446 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: Between twenty seven and thirty one points that the Gold 447 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: Coast would then move up to seven. 448 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: You're going to travel anyway, Yes, that's the botto of mine, 449 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: isn't it? Just where they end up traveling up to 450 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 2: Sydney or over to Perth. So I don't know which 451 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 2: is a lesser to evil. 452 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: No, you don't want to get cute with a win 453 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: by eighty. If you can go out there and win, 454 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: just win. 455 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 8: Yeah. 456 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I suspect that. 457 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: I suspect that they'll throw everything out at the bombers, 458 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: and I really do, quite honestly expect a bit of 459 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: a belting tonight. This Gold Coast Saturn's team has won 460 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: fourteen games and they've had some big performances and I 461 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: think it'll be they'll be sharpened up in a big, 462 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: big way on the back of the disappointments. And you 463 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: know the cut and I know everyone's making this case resident, 464 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: which is great, and it's been an interesting couple of 465 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: days from a radio and television point of view and 466 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: writing articles. But you know, we know where is and 467 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: we know who they are, so we're not kicking them 468 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 2: for it. But that's the reality we've we've kind of 469 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: in all this as we hope for a contest. 470 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 3: But we'll see how it all pans out. 471 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: But I do expect them to that old term flex 472 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: a bit tonight the go go. 473 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Ser can I just before we leave tonight's game, can 474 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: I just have that graphic which shows the expansion teams 475 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: that have come in in the AFL era and the 476 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: first time they qualified for finals and this does give 477 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: a picture of their miles over due West Coast did 478 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: in their second year, so it's a different world the 479 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: way they were brought in and Adelaide in their third port. 480 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: Adelaide repeated that then their best comparison pieces of the 481 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: Giants and they've always stuffered. 482 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 3: By comparison with that. 483 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: The Brisbane Bears managed to do it in their ninth 484 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: season and we know they got the offcuts from everybody, 485 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: and Fremantle did it the hard way is this is 486 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: season fifteen, like it's beyond time. Get this done and 487 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: celebrate the moment. Plant the flag for your club in 488 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: that town which has been a ghost town for professional 489 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: sporting teams. 490 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 3: This is this is. 491 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: A historic night. Don't fumble it. For God's sake, don't fumble. 492 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 3: That's a great point. 493 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: That's a great point to build us up into this 494 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: game because you don't want to and as Dee well, 495 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: you want to get in, but don't limp in either 496 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: get in and get in with some form behind you. 497 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: So go after it. 498 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: And I think that man's really important, Dani. Really, we 499 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: saw it a bit. We saw a bit of a 500 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 2: Dan really in Shae Bolton with Freeman all I Reckon 501 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: in that game last week where it was similarly cutthroat, 502 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: and it was Shae Bolton who in the first quarter 503 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: or two quarters, just inn eight, he was the highest 504 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: rated player on the ground. I think at halftime Shae Bolton. 505 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: He said, I've been here boys, I know what this 506 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: is about. 507 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 3: This follow me. 508 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: I think there's a bit of dan really tonight about 509 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: the gold Co Suns. 510 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: The news of the day is what was long expected, 511 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: with Tom deaconing the offer from Saint Kilda was too 512 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: good to refuse. We probably knew that from the middle 513 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: of the season, as did Carlton, so he will exercise 514 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: his rights of free agencies. Immediately tipped his hand as 515 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: to where he's going. This is a compensation rather than trade. 516 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: So an eight year deal and we're talking one point 517 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: seven one point eight million dollars is now it's to 518 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: be dissected. It's clearly the right decision for Tom. Yes, 519 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: because the offers weren't even close. Is it the call 520 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: for Sint Kilda. 521 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: So let me say up the front, I don't begrudge 522 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: anyone getting as much money as they can in whatever 523 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: field they're in. And we're talking footy here, so good 524 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: on your Tom, well done and good luck. So now 525 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 2: I'm looking at from a Saint Kilda point of view, 526 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 2: and when it's as much money, Jared, I need to 527 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: have no question about it working. 528 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: That's where I sit with it. So you go, Nazaiah 529 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: signed for one point whatever? What was that true? For two? 530 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: You big money? But yeah, yeah, I get it, And 531 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: you go. 532 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 2: Jeez, if it was Zach Butter's for one point seven 533 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: one point eight. 534 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: You go, well, yeah, I get it. 535 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 2: I've got a question over whether one point I know 536 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: you've got to pay overs, I know you've got to 537 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: get him in, but the question revolves around just how 538 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: good he is like that that money means you've got 539 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: to be great, right, So he's never kicked more than 540 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: nine goals in a season. The average is just over 541 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: or just under three marks a game and twelve or 542 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: thirteen possessions, and he hasn't done anything of great note 543 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: to earn the money. Again, please, I'm not having a 544 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: crack at Tom. Good luck to you, and I hope 545 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: you get to where you need to be. But with 546 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: that sort of money on one point eight, yep, yep, 547 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: a lot of money. I get it, Nas too, yep, 548 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: I get it. But as yeah, well I can see it, 549 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: I can't see it. 550 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: So the comparison piece being round, as Max Corney needs 551 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: to be Max Gorn force and Kilda to do this deal, 552 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: and they do marry up a bit so eight years. 553 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: They're both eight years again. Gorn had played ninety nine games. 554 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: Toconing's played one hundred games. At the exact same moment 555 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: in time, Gorn had won a Best and Fairest and 556 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: finished third in another. He was a two time All 557 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: Australian and he'd won the coach as Association Player of 558 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: the Year by ninety nine games. By the end of 559 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: eight seasons, d'aconing's best finish in the Best and Fairest 560 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: is seventh. 561 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: That's it. 562 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: So Gorn has embarked on the next eight years that 563 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: Daconing is about to hit. He's seven through. If he's 564 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: All Australian tomorrow night, he will have gone All Australian 565 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: six of seven. He's added at Best and Fairest and 566 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: come on the podium two more times. He became captain 567 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: after twenty two games into that stretch and broke the 568 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: premiership drought. 569 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: I'm hearing and he's got one year to go. 570 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: So Daconing hasn't shown any signs that he's going to 571 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: be Max Gorn. That's all I hope he is. I 572 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: hope he's the next great ruckman of the competition. Yes, 573 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: but after eight is they're not even they're not in 574 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: the same ballpark. 575 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's that is falling into line. Whether I'm 576 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: saying one point eight for Max Gorn after what he'd 577 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 2: done at that stage. Yeah, yeah, I can see it 578 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: and then the way he goes, So I'm with you. 579 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: I hope he gets there. 580 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: The other question for me is where's that Lee ram Marshall, Like, 581 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 2: that's the other thing you go, you know, I can 582 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 2: you can get a ruckman on six seven eight. 583 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 3: You've got a ruckman. 584 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: You've got to got one who's sitting there who's a 585 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: pretty good player. 586 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: So good luck with all that working that all out. 587 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: I kind of love it. 588 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: Take big swings, yeah, just you gotta knock him out 589 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: of the park. We're in the countdown a Wednesday night footy. 590 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: It's the Suns and the Bombers coming up here on 591 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,239 Speaker 1: Fox Footy, Gold Coast looking to book their place in 592 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: the finals next week on three point sixty.
