Speaker 6: And then yeah, the boys went to America but it
Speaker 6: was Yeah, it was so much fun and that's what
Speaker 6: you need.
Speaker 3: Well, it's good that you get to do that because
Speaker 3: like when we non athletes were all in our early twenties,
Speaker 3: that's what we did. We were backpacking, We traveled. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you did it in far more style and
Speaker 3: I did in my twenties. But you think you like
Speaker 3: these young athletes, you get stuck into footing and you
Speaker 3: don't get that downtime very often, so you get to
Speaker 3: escape and get away from it all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's great, and everyone in the media wants us
Speaker 6: to come back earlier, but you honestly need that break,
Speaker 6: like from now till September, hopefully in the last week
Speaker 6: of September. We're on twenty four to seven, so you know,
Speaker 6: eight week twelve week break where you can kick your
Speaker 6: feet up, relaxed, go away with the boys and no
Speaker 6: one knows you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jack, are we talking relaxed trip little Lindo to
Speaker 7: massages or some loose nights?
Speaker 6: Oh, definitely some loose nights but everyone well behaved. Yeah,
Speaker 6: just just a few hikes in there as well, which
Speaker 6: is good. But yeah, definitely some fun nights that I'll
Speaker 6: remember forever.
Speaker 8: But can I say just on that don't change because
Speaker 8: I buddy love watching you, mate, and I always have
Speaker 8: and he's just I think he's a breath of fresh
Speaker 8: air as well. Say it's because we have so many
Speaker 8: athletes these days who either you know, present present in
Speaker 8: this studio even you know, we've had we've had guests
Speaker 8: who are come in here and just bore us to
Speaker 8: tears because they don't speak their minds. What this guy
Speaker 8: does is he adds a bit of color on the
Speaker 8: field and off the field as well. I mean, I
Speaker 8: mean how important is that for you as a person
Speaker 8: to showcase your actual personality as well?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Thank you. Yeah, obviously it's important to me.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, I don't want to change who
Speaker 6: I am, even if I'm coming to this crazy environment
Speaker 6: the AFL and people trying to you know, be robots
Speaker 6: or whatever. I've always tried to be my authentic self.
Speaker 6: And yeah, that's something I really strive for. And it's
Speaker 6: got me in the position I am today playing good
Speaker 6: football and getting you know, things off the field like
Speaker 6: reblock and listen and all these things because brands are
Speaker 6: excited to you know, sign with me or be a
Speaker 6: partner with me.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's been really good for me.
Speaker 7: I must be relax about as well, because you're right,
Speaker 7: like I remember when Colinwood were going through drummers and
Speaker 7: Paul Mason came in here and good and say bloody
Speaker 7: work well yeah.
Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, no, Well Sam, Sam's been an amazing coach. Me.
Speaker 5: We've a great coach, isn't he?
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6: And you know I've had a few slip ups and
Speaker 6: I know I've been the first to tell Sam and
Speaker 6: that's all he wants, just a bit of honesty and
Speaker 6: to tian quickly. And yeah, he's always got my back
Speaker 6: and same as my line.
Speaker 1: How awkward is it when Albert comes into the dressing
Speaker 1: rooms after the.
Speaker 4: Game trying to think he's the coach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he's always trying to get in the circle
Speaker 6: with his Hawk scarf.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1: In there singing the song. You can imagine it. Yeah.
Speaker 8: The one thing the Hawks do really well is express
Speaker 8: themselves on the field. You're playing some great foota towards
Speaker 8: the back end of last year. Unfortunately fell a little
Speaker 8: bit short.
Speaker 1: But what do you I.
Speaker 8: Mean, how do you approach twenty twenty six, skinny, I mean,
Speaker 8: what are the expectations?
Speaker 6: The expectation I think is to you know, get into
Speaker 6: the Grand Final and hopefully win it. That's you know,
Speaker 6: we strive for greatness at Hawthorne and yeah we've fell
Speaker 6: short the last two years, which is hurt, and I've
Speaker 6: been a part of many final series. I think I've
Speaker 6: lost two prelims now by a little margin and a
Speaker 6: semi by two points. So you know, I'm hungry as
Speaker 6: ever and all the boys are as well, and that's
Speaker 6: something we are really excited for obviously, and yeah, hopefully
Speaker 6: start well in a week's time against the Giants.
Speaker 7: He's got ahead on his shouts for twenty three. Doesn't
Speaker 7: mess at twenty three?
Speaker 3: That's true as a Rebok athlete. What does that mean
Speaker 3: to that? Do you have to, like now all of
Speaker 3: a sudden also be a model and how do you
Speaker 3: go behind the camera? It's funny seeing football players.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good being on a rebox team. They've yeah,
Speaker 6: they've picked me out and I'm the first ambassador I
Speaker 6: think in Australia, which is amazing from a football lens.
Speaker 6: And yeah, hopefully in their boots next year. And yeah,
Speaker 6: it's been cool to do some modeling. I was up
Speaker 6: at four.
Speaker 1: Do you like it?
Speaker 6: Yeah it was all right, Like I did the runway
Speaker 6: last year and yeah it wasn't too bad.
Speaker 5: And then you did a run like a cat wall.
Speaker 5: Yeah a that is my I mean, not that I
Speaker 5: would be asked.
Speaker 1: To do it.
Speaker 5: That is my biggest fear. I don't know how people did.
Speaker 1: You practice at home in front of the flatbates in.
Speaker 6: Front of them, like took the fist because she's a model,
Speaker 6: so she was teaching me some truths. But yeah, it
Speaker 6: was funny. But I was walking down the island smiling
Speaker 6: and giggling.
Speaker 4: But I was trying the hardest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, my bess, But no, it's amazing being a rebook athlete.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: They embraced my individuality and yeah, I'm forever grateful for them.
Speaker 7: They bringing back the pumps, the ones that used to
Speaker 7: I remember that Reebok are back keep rocking up in
Speaker 7: school with rebock pumps and we're all sitting there for yet.
Speaker 3: My brother had them to Yeah, they were like hot
Speaker 3: property people.
Speaker 5: Have you got those ones on the foot? Pump up
Speaker 5: the toys?
Speaker 4: Not yet, they might be coming, just a quick one.
Speaker 8: The story today, Kenny Hinckley wants players to like n
Speaker 8: NRL players switch can declare they're switching clubs mid season. Well,
Speaker 8: that's what he wants. He wants a bit more freedom
Speaker 8: in the AFL.
Speaker 1: Do you reckon?
Speaker 8: The AFL is ready for that, because I know as
Speaker 8: someone who has switched clubs. Difficult decision, Collingwood to Hawthorne, who,
Speaker 8: by the way, you break for as a kid, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be hard to do that.
Speaker 6: I think it's I know, I don't think there's enough
Speaker 6: money potentially, like in you know, someone who's on one
Speaker 6: hundred thousand, two hundred thousand can switch mid you're talking
Speaker 6: about mid season?
Speaker 8: No, no, sorry, I mean to declare how NRL players
Speaker 8: can start season and then you keep playing having declared
Speaker 8: the next season you're going to play for.
Speaker 7: If I find out you're going to Smooth, You're gone.
Speaker 7: We're not waiting until the end of the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that would be a bit smooth.
Speaker 6: I think that would be challenging just for the player
Speaker 6: and coaches, and I think that it would cause you know,
Speaker 6: some weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know about that.
Speaker 8: I don't know if they're different cats in the NRL.
Speaker 8: Kenny not what the NRL was going to ask you
