Speaker 1: So tonight it's going to be a big one. Who

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: we're backing, guys, I'm on the Hawks. Yeah, as a Victorian,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: I think we have to be on the Hawks, don't we?

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: We should be.

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: It's a massive night here in Melbourne as well because

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: the NRL Finals here all kicks off Melbourne Storm taking

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: on the Doggies. You can watch it all live on

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Cho Sports. That's where you can watch the Hawks take

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: on the Crows as well. Jordan Lewis john Us on

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: the air. Surely you'd be on the air.

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: What did you hesitate to say Hawthorne because I grew

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: up hating Hawthorne as a Melbourne supporter growing up in

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: you know, the eighties, early nineties, they were just sworn enemies.

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: They were like, so were you for the merger it?

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would must spies on my jumper.

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot about the Melbourne Hawks, right, you.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: Would have some silkwear by now more silverware.

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 5: Well, you've got plenty of it. You know what if

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 5: you had won.

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 6: Four premiership not enough four times it's pretty good, it's

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 6: not enough. And when the Hawks are now in the finals,

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 6: so they get club greats like you and Shane Crawford

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 6: back to fire up the boys or the boys like

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 6: these old men out here.

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: I think you're very conscious that your time has come

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: and pasted, and that's the last thing these young kids

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: want is some old guy coming back and telling telling

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: how it used to be story.

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 5: Shane Crawford would happily go back.

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's.

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 5: Fifty one this week, really, Shane Barry.

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: Crawford, he still acts like he's twenty five.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: Oh at sixteen?

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you reckon your club's looking for tonight?

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be an interesting match. We

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: always we always fall into camp. I think of the

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 3: side that's won on the weekend, and certainly Hawthorne played

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: some terrific football.

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: They just got over the line.

40
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: There's a few nervous moments in the end, and Adelaide

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: were miserable, to be honest, and so you always fall

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: into that. You're back to the side that's come off

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: a good win. But Adelaide were minor premiers for a reason,

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: the best offensive side in the competition for a reason.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: They still miss ranking clearly. But do you reckon that's

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: messed with their heads. I think it was a big week. Yeah,

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: there's no doubt emotionally. It was a big week, week

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: and a half. I hadn't played finals since twenty seventeen,

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: so they sort of I mean final set foot is

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: very different final. Yeah, home final, but it's I mean,

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: it's this external pressure that you either build up in

52
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: your own head to be something really different or and

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 3: it affects the way that you play.

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: So there was a lot of there's a lot of individuals.

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: From Adelaide who didn't perform nowhere near the level they

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: have performed at during the year, so they would be

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: looking to rectify that. But Adelaide Oval and I'm sure

58
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: you guys have been there, it is I wasn't going

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: to go there. I was going to I've got to

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: go there to that. I'm just very wary of It's.

61
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 5: Great Ovals, it's a great state to watch sports.

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: Take a rain jacket because they spit over there.

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: And that was saying that anybody.

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Else, supporters and spinners, we know that that's a beautiful stadium.

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 3: When I when I played my first year, we played

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: at I think it's got Amy Park the other lad

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: and when you come off usually walk on the boundary

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: line to to warm down. Against Port adelaide, no walking

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: on the boundary line, you get ship and.

70
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Just our executive producers a feral portlide supporter.

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, look at him out there. It looks like

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: a criminal.

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: So the other big final, Jordi, is the the pineapple

74
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: Pineapple grapple.

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: It's not the cute question anymore. It's the pineapple.

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: Off as.

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 6: I feel like it's a Queensland advertising campaign. Pop into

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 6: the big Pineapple while you're here for the pineapple grapple.

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm loving the suns.

80
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: It's I was over in the West on Saturday night

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: and man that that ground was pumped. Yeah, yeah it was.

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: It was awesome so to I mean, what a fairy tale.

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: The first final was with David Swallow kicking the points

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: after well sort.

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: Of near the siren to drag them over the line.

87
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: But what it's been, What has.

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: It been fourteen years in the making for them to

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: play finals and to progress through to an elimination final

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: against Brisbane the biggest game I think we've seen in Queensland.

91
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: And outside of that, obviously we've got Collingwood and the

92
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 6: Cats waiting in the wings for their turn next weekend.

93
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 5: Who do you think the team is to beat in

94
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: the hawkschool all the way?

95
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: They certainly can. I was Brisbane pre finals. Yeah, I'm

96
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: Geelong now I just jumped ship to.

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: Brisbane. Have Lucky Meal out. They've got some injury, yeah,

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 5: Lucky Meal out.

99
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: Huey McCluggage looks sore, they've got a real issue forward

100
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: of the ball. They haven't replaced Joe dana her hip

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: would still out. So yeah, they're up against it. There's

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: no doubt. I think what we saw from Geelong on

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: the weekend was powerful.

104
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: So if the Hawks win, they would play long long to.

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: Get and we never losed it to Long in finals.

106
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: They beat us in the real lay season, but never

107
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: in final. Every finals, so that's if they win again.

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: Back in the day, you lost them a few times.

109
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,160
