If he shed, he wouldn't be on. 54 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: My about when you got company over, he's still on 55 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: the end of the bit, Yeah, because dog sticks around 56 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: for the show as well. PEPs normally in the room 57 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: if you know. 58 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: It's usually one man this one before. 59 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 6: Okay, So so now you're into the season proper you 60 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 6: played in changing the subject you played in opening round. 61 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 6: Things didn't quite go to plan against the Giants.

We just weren't at our best 65 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: and we know that, and we put our heads down 66 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: this week and head on to Essendon which will be 67 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: a good, good match and good rivals for the fans. 68 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 4: I reckon does. 69 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: It like it's one game, right, but it's every game 70 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 5: I imagine is important, but especially being the first round, the 71 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 5: first it's not round one? What is it? 72 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: Opening round? 73 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 5: Is it a bit like okay, we're dusting off the 74 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 5: cob webs, let's just move. 75 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: It was a bit like that, like we did play 76 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: not our best footing and we know that, which is 77 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: annoying because we did that sort of in the practice 78 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: match as well. So we're two games basically off for loss, 79 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: and yeah, we we know we need to be better 80 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: and there's some things that we need to tidy up, 81 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: and but yeah we'll be if you put. 82 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: Your finger on it.

So it's like we've got such a 108 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 3: rich history in numbers and the number five is obviously 109 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: one of the biggest ones at the club.
