Beautiful stuff. 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.200 How are you tracking there at the Crows? 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:06.720 Yeah? 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.280 Good, I reckon. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.000 Last time we spoke, we were getting ready for the showdown, 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.000 so that was obviously a cracking game of Footye. We 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.600 walked away with four points there, which was very pleasing, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.520 and then we headed across to Melbourne last weekend and 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.959 played the Pies, the most informed side. We didn't get 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.080 the chocolates, but I can tell you we took a 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.880 lot of learnings away which is going to hold us 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.600 up for the back end of the year. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.800 What is it like playing in front of I don't know, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.640 you know, fifty thousand Collingwood supporters? 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.000 What is that like? Because they're pretty up and about, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:33.840 aren't they. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.680 I mean when I say up and about, I mean pheroh. 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.959 You said it, idea, you did disagree. They're a passionate 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.920 support supporting group. And in saying that, you play every 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.360 time you play at the G against that team, you 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.040 know the atmosphere is going to be quite high. And 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.040 for our group, for where we're at as a footy side, yeah, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.880 that's great experience. So I'm glad we're getting these opportunities 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.320 to play in that crewd I have a theory though 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.040 at the MCG. I don't know if you've spent much 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.000 time there. No, there's this red seat on the Shane 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.360 More on southern stand and that red seat in a 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.880 pile of blue seats represents the biggest six. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.840 Hit from a cricketer on that on the field. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.160 So how I see if it's a big crowd at night, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.680 and I spoke this with my assistant coach, Scottie Burns, 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.200 the forward coach, if that red seat is filled, it's 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.560 a big crowd. That's the vers some days at my 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.000 former club where that red seat was standing out, which 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.240 means there wasn't too many people in the stadium. So 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:28.480 every time you play Collingwood, that red seats field, that's amazing. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.160 Go to a game one time, We'll just check out 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:31.680 that red seat. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.040 Go to the game one time and sit in the 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.720 red seat and really throw you because you don't. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.480 Know not now, Alex off Air, you were telling us 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.280 that you expect to about the Eagles this weekend by about 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.040 two hundred points. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.160 You guys, No, you didn't say that. 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.520 You didn't say that in saying that the Eagles are 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.360 the cellar dwellers. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.920 But they were good on the weekend. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.560 They show on a bit absolutely, and I spent a 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.800 bit of time with their head coach Andrew mcgwalka mini 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.920 the D's last year and he's high quality, sees the 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.040 game so well, and he's got a young group, so 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.679 we're very clear on what the Eagles bring. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.560 And also that the level. 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.120 Of energy youth within the footy side is a dangerous 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.560 recipe and we're going to have to start the game 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.920 very well and then see where the game lands. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.040 Our boy techs. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.920 So this talk of resting his old bones and his 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.760 big ears, what's going to happen. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:19.960 He's been named in the squad. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.000 Yeah, Terry plays such an important part for us, and 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.800 also there's a group, so yeah, Terry Walker. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:31.240 I like to call him Terry, and he's as well. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.880 We all understand the footy he plays on field, but 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.600 more importantly the connection he has with the whole group, 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.680 whether that's the forward line, with the midfield, he plays 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.920 a pivotal role in that. So I would like to 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.880 think he's going to continue to play. So then we 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.280 have that experience out there, especially in games like this 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.000 where people might expect you to win, but internally we 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.280 need to ensure that we come with the right mindset. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.839 I can you imagine Guy my understanding his text hates 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.840 sitting out anyway, so hates being managed and missing any footy, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:57.360 Is that right? 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.440 Yeah, Yeah, he's a competitor and he had a bit 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.760 of time off earlier in his career with a knee rico. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.920 So the opportunity to get to play AFL footy, you 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.800 don't want to know how I'm going. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.360 To look at it selfishly from Texas point of view 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.840 as well. Look, Terry, you guys will play finals. But 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.000 Jesus sort of pushing it though, when you wanted to 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.960 get text to three hundred by the end of the year, Well, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.599 what's he at? He's at aroundabout so I think he 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.280 needs to play. If he doesn't play this weekend, he 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.160 would need to play every single game for the rest 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.400 of the regular season to hit it. And if they're 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.160 sitting there saying, well, he could be rested one or 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.800 two times during the year. Statistically, get Terry to three 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.479 hundred players in twenty twenty five. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.279 Terry could get the three fifty Are you still moving 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.960 so well? And his ability to kick the footy both 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.200 left and right foot y, Yeah, it's amazing exception. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.680 He's the best big man field kick in competition. It's 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:44.960 actually beautiful to watch. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:45.200 Yeah. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.320 I used to admire him at the D's when we 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.720 used to watch, say, we're traveling Friday up footy in 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.440 the Mills room, and he would often come up as opinions. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.800 We're having opinions, round table discussion, who's the best kick 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.479 and a lot of the time Terry Walker's name would 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:57.719 come up. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.920 So you're pushing hard for this Terry thing, are you? 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.040 He's going to make three easy? 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.160 Adelaide Crows Vice captain. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.200 Really proud of the how the group has been able 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.560 to deal with some challenges, momentum swings and always give 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:12.920 ourselves an opportunity to win. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:22.560 He's players, Mike hits the decks, the ground, But to us, he's. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.560 Just a girl dad from Glen Elk. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.560 Please welcome with Hollow Crows a Vice captain Alex. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.719 Yes, Alex Neilbourne has stuck around. We're talking all things 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.920 controversial footing and right at the moment and we did 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:37.880 you watch pretty last night? 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:38.560 First half? 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:38.800 Yeah? 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:43.120 Yeah? Then put yourself to bed. Did you think you think, Alex, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:44.920 did you think the catch are going to run away 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:45.040 with it? 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:45.560 Yeah? 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.239 I'd bucked them back them on their home. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.440 Deck, got close, got really close. You probably would have 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.760 seen this before the game. An awkward little confrontation between 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.880 our own cane corns and beverage from the Bulldogs. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.320 It was an all good situation because you were staring 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.479 at me quite strongly, and I didn't really know what 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.160 to say, so I just said gna bevo and it 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.320 wasn't received that well, as you can see there in 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.800 the vision. And I would have liked to have gone 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.479 on with a conversation and had it respectfully, but it 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:11.120 wasn't the time. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:11.400 Of the place. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.440 Oh man, I love this theater as a player in 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.840 the system and as a leader in the AFL a 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.840 vice captain. How do you feel about where the media 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.279 landscape he's at at the moment? 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.479 Tough question, it's a good question. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.719 I enjoy the celebrating of others, so whether that's someone 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.960 who's come back from an injury, a team that have 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.640 been maybe in poor form and then come out the 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.599 other side and playing good footy. I love the media 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.359 that continue to recognize that and reward that, but also 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.000 understand the critiquing side of the game, and it draws 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.080 eyes to our game. It keeps the footy club in 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.000 footy club industry accountable, So I understand both. I don't 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.599 really don't like when it's personal. I haven't had that, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.000 but also enjoy the theater of a build up to 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.320 a game. So we'll use last night for example, the 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.120 Bally Smith verse Doggies exceptional. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.240 So I thought you were going to say sexy Balley 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.320 Smith is sexy. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.680 Is Bailey Smith? So's there's a line there. 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.120 But in saying that it's something for the game that 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.680 we continue to evolve and confrontation that happens in footy, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.560 I don't think you want to see the media getting 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.640 involved with that. But in saying that Kane's a good 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.280 saga heart Ladd and the Glenelg boy, So I always 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.720 stand by my locals. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.840 So he's on the nose at North Now, he's on 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.360 the nose at the Western Bulldogs. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.160 Where does he sit at the Crows? 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:31.640 He can he walk in the West Lakes? 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.800 And because Hazy told a story this morning about early 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.760 days when he teed off and he encountered some of 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.720 the Crows boys at a cafe and he was like 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.400 so awkward, didn't know what to do. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:41.440 Is like, hey boys, they. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.080 Had to walk past all this crosses around hey fellers 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.040 and didn't get march and didn't get marched and had 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.440 to be like I see. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.520 I don't know if many poor Adelaide people who have 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.440 been at the Port Adelais footy Club are allowed into 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.440 the Adelaid foot Club. 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:54.560 That's a good point. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.320 Yeah, that's the thing Nick fore corns. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:01.160 He got well, Nixie Nix's a scrap. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.320 He scrans too, does Yeah. I've copped the few off 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.200 ball from him. Really yeah, the. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.119 Coach, it's always a good ploy. Have you ever copped 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.080 a Nicksey's stare in a presser? You asked a question, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.400 He's like, you know, he's thinking. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.920 I caught one yesterday and that was I asked the 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.119 first question and I went straight to it and I said, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.360 you're gonna rest text? And he said, is that how 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.080 we're going to start the press conference? And we all 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.760 went yep. And then he said he didn't know if 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.080 he was going to rest text, but I reckon he did, jode'es. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.240 I reckon he does know. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.559 Yeah, I see Alex has just stepped away from the microphone. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.280 Alex, come back to come back, come back. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.360 Hey, let's talk debutantes, because of course Hugh Jackson is 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.120 debuting for the Port Adelaide Football Club. What was your 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.880 debut experience? Like it was way before the days where 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.280 they had mobile phones, wasn't it? 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.040 Yeah, way back there was not even communication back then. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.560 Yeah, ten years ago. What was it? 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.120 I got pulled in their coaches off had played Probably 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.240 it was my first year, a few good weeks of 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.800 BFL footy.

So I've heard the loudest gunshot in 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.720 the back of my leg and I've looked back, thinking 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.480 someone who's like hit me with a baseball bat, and 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.760 there was no one behind me. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.240 And it was the fourth quarter. I was doing this like. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.600 It was like a community event out in Dandy Dong 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:12.080 in Melbourne, and Brendan Favla was playing and it was 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.560 for this team that haven't managed to win a game, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.120 and so Brendan was trying to help them win their 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.319 first game. We did actually win that game, only by 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.920 two points in the end, and we were up by 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.400 quite a few goals, but then obviously I got injured, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.880 and then the other team started to come back because 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.400 you know, for obvious reasons. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.400 Let everyone else do the math on that. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.200 And I'm currently sitting with my leg elevated in a cast, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.680 and I'm going to be in this cast for a 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.720 while and then rehab and the rest. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.640 Hey, I know you're a fitness enthusist guy, so have 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.800 fun watching your calf just disintegrated into a little jelly 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.240 jelly like mess. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.640 I've just heard that.
