Speaker 2: this one yesterday after the show. You had to run
Speaker 2: off to an event.
Speaker 3: I did an international women's tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I reckon you would have loved this guy.
Speaker 2: However, I think you're going to be shocked by something
Speaker 2: he reveals at the end of the chat.
Speaker 4: Our next guest is a forward for North Melbourne, affectionately
Speaker 4: known as Chom.
Speaker 1: He doesn't just perform on the field, he.
Speaker 5: Also hosts his own podcast two hundred plus Comment.

Speaker 1: joins us. Now, Charlie, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Thanks that me. Dave shes a big fellow, isn't he.
Speaker 1: Mate?
Speaker 3: That's six six a half So it's.
Speaker 2: A lot of man, if you would have to come
Speaker 2: by world when you were two, you would have been
Speaker 2: high enough for all the rights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got passed, got past it three.
Speaker 4: He's like the Pettija was a big Pennies guy.
Speaker 3: So the mighty Kangaroos there on the way up. Well
Speaker 3: we like to think.
Speaker 4: So anyway, how's the preseason been. It's looked really really
Speaker 4: good for us. We've we've seen a lot of improvement internally.
Speaker 4: We just played our first two practice matches in the
Speaker 4: last two weeks, and we did lose both of those games.
Speaker 4: But it's not alarmed belts for us. We've got some
Speaker 4: really encouraging signs out of those games. On the weekend,
Speaker 4: we just didn't finish our work against West Coast Eagles.
Speaker 4: They capitalized and they kicked goals or as we kicked
Speaker 4: a lot of points, but I feel we really dominated
Speaker 4: that game. So really good signs coming into the season.
Speaker 4: It's going to be really exciting what we can do
Speaker 4: against Western Bulldogs in round one.
Speaker 2: We spoke to a young fellaw who's the number two draftee.
Speaker 2: You know Solivan last year on the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah great lad, Yeah good Vala Yeah, big mumbler, mumbler
Speaker 4: he said he did.
Speaker 1: He was a bit mumbler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little bit, but then again that's us,
Speaker 2: so we didn't want to pull him up on it.
Speaker 1: Speak.
Speaker 4: How's he fitting in. He's going really really well. He's
Speaker 4: probably the one that's caught my the most this preseason.
Speaker 4: He looks like he'll play Round one. He's been playing
Speaker 4: a lot of time on the wing and he come
Speaker 4: down back and shot us up in defense on the
Speaker 4: weekend against the West Coast and mate, he's a star.
Speaker 4: I can mark, he's evasive, you can kick really well
Speaker 4: and he's a good lad too. Loves a bit of
Speaker 4: a gag and what.
Speaker 1: A moment for him playing one. Do you remember your like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, mine was different.
Speaker 4: I played my first game was twenty twenty one and
Speaker 4: we've just gone back into one of those little COVID lockdowns.
Speaker 1: So I had, yeah, the cardboard cutout to this guy.
Speaker 4: No crowd, there was just a big, big tarps over
Speaker 4: all the seats and have my family there, so we
Speaker 4: did a little zoom call before the game of my family.
Speaker 4: But yeah, really surreal, but a weird, weird debut.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Are you scared of Clark Yeah a little bit.
Speaker 5: He's just Alistair Clarkson Jason right, just a fantastic footballer,
Speaker 5: an amazing premiership winning coach. But jeez, just puts the
Speaker 5: fear of God into me. As an he went away
Speaker 5: in the players.
Speaker 3: What's he like?
Speaker 4: He's brilliant I say that in Jazz Star. He's always
Speaker 4: up for a gag, he's always up for a joke
Speaker 4: and he's a really really caring guy strategically, just just
Speaker 4: brilliant he's got some really weird characteristics that come out
Speaker 4: out during the meetings and whatnot.
Speaker 3: He's got little nicknames for all this.
Speaker 4: My nickname is chomp so I get chim as a
Speaker 4: charm as a joint of my first and last name.
Speaker 4: But he calls me Chompers, and I think for three yeah,
Speaker 4: I think three years has been getting it wrong. But
Speaker 4: he's got some weird other ones. He called Tom Power
Speaker 4: Milky Camp's house spider, and they're all He's the only
Speaker 4: person that calls these people by those from him.
Speaker 3: I have. Yeah.
Speaker 4: At one point it was West Coast last year and
Speaker 4: I didn't defend very well and got a pretty good
Speaker 4: spray up the game. I think I was first came
Speaker 4: off the range.
