<v Speaker 5>We haven't seen you this year.

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I was worried when we had your boy Jack van

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>in that you might have gone on the Lad's trip.

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>We might not have seen you again D's trip just

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of before the season, before Jack Jack

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>was away.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Stay far from it.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 5>We loved having Guinean, but we love you more.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 4>Are going to tell you.

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 6>Favorite to play, you know, maybe become our over correspondent.

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Off the air, he was like, you know, you're back

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>at the wrong horse with love.

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 6>So let's start from the start. What did you do

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.599
<v Speaker 6>post season last year? Did you get up to any mischief?

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I didn't go anywhere far. I didn't go overseas at all.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I got a puppy.

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Got a puppy. Oh my god, what's the puppies name?

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Kobe?

0:00:59.080 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cool?

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 2>This brutal? Is this a shared puppy with the missa?

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 4>No, just mine mine by myself.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 6>I know.

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 3>He's actually growing pretty big now, so he's keep me

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 3>on my toes, that's for sure.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>How you take this right way? How are you going

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>with the responsibility of keeping something alive.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 3>I've actually be better than what you think to be honest,

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>it's he's like my best mate.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 4>I just hang out with him, game with him.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>I've actually been off the gaming a lot, which which

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure many people would.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 4>Be busy having a puppy core. Yeah, it's time.

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 5>Does he wake you up in the night.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>No, not anymore. At the start he was pretty full on.

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I kept him off my bed in the crate

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 3>and then that didn't last because then once he came

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>to my bed he slept the whole night.

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 4>So perfect. Yeah, it was a game.

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>You sleep with him each night.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't feel any at my toes. He's nice

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>and small, you know what.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 5>Everyone says, He's not going to be an on the

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 5>bed dog, and then it's once they're on the bed

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 5>hard to get up.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, he doesn't shed, so that was the one thing

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 3>for me. If he shed, he wouldn't be on.

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>My about when you got company over, he's still on

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the end of the bit, Yeah, because dog sticks around

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>for the show as well. PEPs normally in the room

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>if you know.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It's usually one man this one before.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So so now you're into the season proper you

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 6>played in changing the subject you played in opening round.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 6>Things didn't quite go to plan against the Giants. What

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 6>happened wid.

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 3>They played good foot Yeah, they did play good footy.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>They're a quality side. We just weren't at our best

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and we know that, and we put our heads down

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 3>this week and head on to Essendon which will be

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>a good, good match and good rivals for the fans.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 4>I reckon does.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 5>It like it's one game, right, but it's every game

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 5>I imagine is important, but especially being the first round, the

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 5>first it's not round one? What is it?

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Opening round?

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Is it a bit like okay, we're dusting off the

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:05.839
<v Speaker 5>cob webs, let's just move.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 3>It was a bit like that, like we did play

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>not our best footing and we know that, which is

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 3>annoying because we did that sort of in the practice

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 3>match as well. So we're two games basically off for loss,

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, we we know we need to be better

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 3>and there's some things that we need to tidy up,

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 3>and but yeah we'll be if you put.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Your finger on it. What those things are.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we got that yesterday.

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 5>Did you change numbers this season?

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I did number five? Big number.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Thirty four wasn't the best number. I didn't really like it.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 3>But obviously we take numbers very seriously at the club.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.119
<v Speaker 3>So number five.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 6>But what about if you play ship and you have

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 6>to go back?

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Would you couldn't go back?

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 4>They're going back?

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Like what you superstitious at all?

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 4>Nah?

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So did you play with number five during June?

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I played five fair bits so and obviously having Sam

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 3>as a coach whereber.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 4>Five was his number?

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so so he's picked his favorite.

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Maybe was someone number five last season? James Warple

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 4>he went to Geelong. I see you mate?

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>How does that work? Is there a little ballot to

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>get the number?

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Or as I said before, we take numbers at the

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>club pretty seriously. So it's like we've got such a

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 3>rich history in numbers and the number five is obviously

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 3>one of the biggest ones at the club. So you

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>sort of sending an email to the coach of why

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 3>you want it, and yeah, it sort of goes from

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 3>there and they choose from there.

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 5>So did other people try and get it?

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I assume so he sort of keeps

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 4>it close to your chest.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>But I sit down to write a big D and

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>M email to the car.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't say big, but like a couple of paragraphs

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>saying like why you want it and put.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 5>Your pitch in.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>You've changed and emotional.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 3>It was just chat, just a few clues off chat

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 3>GPT even. Yeah, I'm sure many people did.

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.239
<v Speaker 6>Speaking of numbers, Zach Merritt wears the number seven for

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 6>the Bombers right now. Last year Zach tried to get

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 6>to the Hawks. He was he's no longer the captain.

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 6>Andy McGrath's now the captain, so he still still he's

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 6>had to go. He's had to go back tail between

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 6>the legs. And this week the Hawks play the Bombers.

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you reckon?

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a bit awkward for it, I'd be, I'd be,

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 3>it'd be funny at the start. I mean, I'm sure

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 3>the fans will be loving it this game coming up.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure that.

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everyone's going to be probably ninety plus thousand at

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 3>the gym. It's a great rival game and always is

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 3>every year, to be honest, but it's just got to

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>be the extra tension on it now because.

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 2>You bring it up. Okay, the one next year.

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>It'll be funny what happens. I'm sure there'll be a

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>big gun on field.

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 6>Can you imagine that if you made a player to

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 6>get to another radio station for instance.

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean we would never do that ever.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>But then it gets tony spots available, it gets to night.

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 4>You've got to walk back with your tail between lads.

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is probably the worst possible outcome.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>And also, God love you boys. You're the team that's

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>going to bring it up.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 4>It should be good.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 5>Boss just walked in and her say, it's a few openings.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 5>She's just shaking it, so I believe.

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, it's going to be a big night at

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>the g Bombers take on the Hawks. Make sure you

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 2>get your memberships for Hawthorne this year as well. I

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 2>was good to have you back on board, mate.

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm seeing you guys in. Can you bring the puppy in?

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Puppy friendly clins pissed on the floor around.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 4>We love puppy.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 3>We're one time for sure. I just got to get

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 3>him tolet trains out of my place a bit better.

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 3>When he goes out the houses.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 4>You'll don't worry.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 5>We're dog people.

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You watch the girls in sales when he rolls

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>in with a puppy. Bring him in, all right, Nick?

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.039
