1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: And this is number one hundred. You are on the

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: air with Jason Lauren clint here.

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Too, getting said four footy finals pre lim weekend. They

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: are often the most hotly contested of all finals. Of course,

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: it kicks off on Friday night. The Cats and the Hawks,

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: two teams that don't like each other. Friday, A couple

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: of rivals who played off in a Grand final a

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: few week years back in the Lines and the Magpies.

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: That's right from the Pies. Mason Cox is in the building,

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Good morning mate.

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: A prelim final hits a little differently. Some players say

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: they are sort of more intense than a grand final.

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: Really, is that right? Like, what's it like a premium final.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 4: It's there's more supporters from each team. It's a bit

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: corporate grand final, yeah, where like you get the real

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: die hards that like you know, are gone absolutely nuts

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 4: out of and.

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 5: Then they can't get to the Grand It's so expensive.

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: It's like five hundred bucks for a ticket.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 5: But I suppose the pressure of making the ground file

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: is like a huge part of it as well.

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but I think like it's winter, go home

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: no matter what from there on out. So yeah, it's exciting,

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 4: it's a it's a crazy time. Mcg pack, be plenty

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: of supporters.

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 5: And can you feel the energy in Melbourne at the moment?

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: Like September just hits differently, doesn't it.

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: It is weird, isn't it. I think it's like that.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: And the fact that summer's around the corner, we really

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: start feeling it.

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean there's a few days in here. You God, okay,

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: all right? Season already? No?

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: No?

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: No?

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: Should we do Should we take a leaf out of

36
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: the NFL books and do tailgate parties?

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: Yes? Should we ideal? AFL take tailgate?

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Can you run me through what exactly it is?

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: Beers? So like?

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: So is it people just hanging out in the car

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: park outside stadiums?

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

43
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: Well essentially, I mean, like usually with college football, there's

44
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: a lot of an NFL at the same time, right,

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: all these games are played on the same day, so

46
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: you have other games to watch while you're sitting in

47
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: the car park. So people will bring TV satellites, all

48
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: like of stuff. People bring big screen TVs and have

49
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: in the back of their truck and watch other games.

50
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: And then you essentially have a barbecue. Everyone barbecues out there,

51
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: has drinks, has games. There's like cornhole and stuff like

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 4: that with the bag.

53
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 5: Corn hole, throw those little bean bags in the car.

54
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: I thought it was food.

55
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: I'm quite good at that.

56
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm very good at corn hob.

57
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you kind of bring all that stuff. There's

58
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: three or four cars at part next to each other.

59
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: You kind of have like a little bit of like

60
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: a block party kind of thing.

61
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: You've never heard of corn hops and then it's horrendous.

62
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: Then you go into the stadium to watch a live game.

63
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, some people just go and tell some people don't

64
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: even go to the game. And I always say, it's

65
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: like the MCG. There's that car park around rich Man.

66
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 4: You could do it there, or even better, you could

67
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: just go and do it at the Tennis Center literally

68
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: like two hundred meters from the MCG. You could do

69
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: a huge bang there.

70
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: I think Ozie's a two will.

71
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: We used to have We.

72
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: Used to have car park parties on Grand Final Day,

73
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: but they sort I don't know why.

74
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: They fizzled out.

75
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 5: Right in the car park at the members car park,

76
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: you get your car part, you drive your car and

77
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 5: back in the day you just have a little picnic

78
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 5: in the booty come that.

79
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I reckon, let's bring it back. Yeah, I'll

80
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: be up.

81
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, Let's get through this weekend, focus on the

82
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Grand Final and then and then.

83
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: Have you ever been to the Super Bowl?

84
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: No, it's on my bucket list.

85
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 5: It's like high, high high that those tailgate parties look

86
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: like they hit.

87
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's like that's not a tailgate party. That's

88
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: like a real event.

89
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: So the Lions makes a big assignment for the pause

90
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: you've had had a week off. Take us into the

91
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: mind of Craig McCrae, because he is I am obsessed

92
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: with him. He's just such a he's a bit peculiar,

93
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, also so he's.

94
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: Just he seems like a dad.

95
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: What's he like to get angry, not really disappointed, disappointed, his.

96
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: Quirks, He definitely has his quotes and stuff. But he's

97
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: one of those people. I think that's like very personable.

98
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: I think it's the best way to put it. And

99
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: I think as a coach, like, I mean, you're gonna

100
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: imagine there's forty four guys on a list, there's twenty

101
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: twenty three that are playing every week, Like you have

102
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: to be able to manage personal relationships and that's probably

103
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: ninety five percent of the job sometimes is trying to

104
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: keep everyone on the same page. Yeah and all that.

105
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: So it's a big management role and he's really good

106
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: at that.

107
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: Looks like he's a dad to forty Ki.

108
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. We do a lot of one on one time.

109
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: It's tough to do one on one with everyone every week. Yeah,

110
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: he tries to for the guys that are obviously on

111
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: the fringe and kind of you need to give that

112
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: information too, He'll go and seek them out. But yeah,

113
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: it's I think it's it's quite tough to be able

114
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: to kind of see every single player for.

115
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: One on one. He'd come up to your hip. Yeah, well,

116
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: I sit next.

117
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: To him in the meetings and it's quite funny because

118
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: I look at my leg length and it is twice.

119
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: If you ever look over at his notes, what he's

120
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: rutting down?

121
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 3: No, he never has notes.

122
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: No, he's always got obviously the screen with the big

123
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: you know, big side show.

124
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: But I always wonder, what's the anxiety, Like if you're

125
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench and you hear the phone ring,

126
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you know it's you know,

127
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: it's Craig up top.

128
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: Now Craig stands next to me. He's on thet he'll

129
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: give you back to your face. You look at the

130
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: eyes and do it.

131
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Would you prefer he was up in the box or

132
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: you like having him there?

133
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: No? I like having him there. He doesn't really have

134
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: a crack at chair. He just kind of gives you

135
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: like kind of constructive criticism.

136
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: I like that, which is good.

137
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 4: I mean I remember, like twenty twenty three in the

138
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: Grand Final, like I missed a set shot at goal

139
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: in a Grand Final. I come to the bench and

140
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: he's like, so you did this wrong. Whenever you're kicking,

141
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: you got to you know, blah blah blah. And I'm

142
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: sitting there looking at him like it's the Grand Final,

143
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: like these lessons are like, well, truly fast, we're in

144
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: the moment now.

145
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: Nice.

146
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 4: But he's always trying to like help out, you know.

147
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: It's quite funny. And he's always looked after me. He

148
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: taught me how to kick, so he's always given me advice.

149
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 5: I always think on the TV when you watch the footy,

150
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 5: it's so mean. How when someone goes for a set

151
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: shot and they miss the goal right, like you feel

152
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: a bit embarrassed, and then they keep that camera on

153
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 5: you well, they and they don't like the players don't

154
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: know to st that pointing and yelling, and it's like

155
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: it's like you're just trying to keep busy because you, like,

156
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: I know, the cameras on me.

157
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do it. I can't be disappointed.

158
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: I can't be happy.

159
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: I don't.

Speaker 4: Yeah, a few words, a few words, probably you're on camera, right, yeah. Yeah,

162
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 4: But like I've had to stand in the mark quite

163
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: a few times, and there's nothing better. I'll be able

164
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: to really just shove that dagger deep in someone's back

165
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: after they miss it.

166
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,880
