Speaker 1: Flays and gentlemen, please welcome Tom Doo day you hey,
Speaker 1: happy to be.
Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, happy to have you. Last time I saw you,
Speaker 2: our dogs had a play date. You've got a dog
Speaker 2: called Lenny and I've got a dog called Sid. Now,
Speaker 2: in terms of size, they couldn't be more different, And
Speaker 2: so it was your job. You were assigned to tear
Speaker 2: them apart because Lenny was very aggressive with.
Speaker 3: My little attack dog Sid.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I did a poor job with that too.
Speaker 3: Got himself tangled up in all the least very well
Speaker 3: tangled up.
Speaker 5: I thought letting him off lead would be okay, But
Speaker 5: it turns out Lenny's paws bigger than Sid's entire body. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: not my best effort, but they become best friends.
Speaker 4: Towards the end, we just had to make sure.
Speaker 5: Lenny was a bit subdued and laying down and not
Speaker 5: able to trample on her.
Speaker 3: And Lenny's grown again, You say.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's become a bit of a weapon. The big
Speaker 5: fellow's he's getting bigger and bigger. When he stands up
Speaker 5: on his back legs, he's genuinely six foot. So yeah,
Speaker 5: it's a bit concerning. I need him slow down. He's
Speaker 5: going to become a great day.
Speaker 3: And so in football terms, Lenny would be a rouckman.
Speaker 1: Right, just a big burly character.
Speaker 4: And Sid would be an under eights. I was kicker,
Speaker 4: yeah right.
Speaker 5: In and under mid same like coordination levels too on
Speaker 5: both of them.
Speaker 4: A Reica, you're big.
Speaker 1: Fellow's just dragging the two k dragon.
Speaker 5: He's a bit behind, but he's also like big goofy,
Speaker 5: like the brain doesn't work as well with What.
Speaker 3: Are you saying about ruckman mate?
Speaker 4: Nothing? Nothing good rippers, both of them.
Speaker 6: Hey tom Me, good to have you on board again.
Speaker 6: It's what we've got a nice little history of over now.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's growing. The background's grown and big upgrade
Speaker 5: though this year with you too.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so true. If they go, I had enough
Speaker 4: of those two and brought you guys.
Speaker 1: In and on behalf of all of us.
Speaker 5: Sorry about them, Yeah yeah, I mean I've been waiting
Speaker 5: for that apology.
Speaker 3: Let's not get too carried away. They're still on from
Speaker 3: six or seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, actually no, we need to pump them up.
Speaker 6: So what we did learn and we haven't learned over
Speaker 6: the last couple of years is you're a big tweeter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love Twitter. You don't mind it.
Speaker 5: I originally jumped on it just because of American sports.
Speaker 5: It's just huge over in America, and it just gave
Speaker 5: me a good insight. And then when I was like
Speaker 5: younger and didn't have a profile or anything, I used
Speaker 5: to just like tweet it my favorite analysts and talk
Speaker 5: NFL with them. And then when I got drafted, it
Speaker 5: sort of people started following me, and then I was like,
Speaker 5: oh crap.
Speaker 4: Like I can't can't do what I used to do.
Speaker 5: But and then turn the movies and stuff like that,
Speaker 5: it's actually not a bad spot to interact with people
Speaker 5: of the same like mine.
Speaker 2: So you too share a love of NFL and NBA.
Speaker 2: So I'm just going to draw a line in the
Speaker 2: sand right now. That's not what this segment is going
Speaker 2: to be about, week in, week out.
Speaker 6: It feels like it does have the capacity to, at
Speaker 6: least within this segment, be a little space where we
Speaker 6: can share our feelings, particularly on an NBA side of things.
Speaker 5: Your team to yeah, no, no team in the NBA.
Speaker 5: I'm completely neutral. I just go for whoever, whoever, whoever's
Speaker 5: winninge I can double the bandwagon on or I've got
Speaker 5: money on either.
Speaker 1: Way, I go for whoever Lebron's playing for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, same sort of thing. Yes, classic, I've got.
Speaker 1: To regret this.
Speaker 3: Your NFL team? What's your NFL team?
Speaker 4: Patriots?
Speaker 1: Right? Okay, Patriots even post Brady.
Speaker 6: Yeah wow, yes, that's loyalty still with them.
Speaker 3: Okay. What do you make of the weekend? It was?
Speaker 3: It was a game of two halves, wasn't it?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: As Mattie Nick said, You know, in the first half,
Speaker 2: he showed what you can do as the Adelaie Crow's
Speaker 2: Football club. In the second half, you also showed what
Speaker 2: you can do as the LA football club.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 5: We went in the game really confident. We've had a
Speaker 5: great preseason, two good preseason games. Boys are really fit,
Speaker 5: and we thought with the conditions we'd be able to
Speaker 5: get on top of them. But started really well, and
Speaker 5: then as the game went along, we just had a
Speaker 5: few lapses. Our defense dropped off, and then we sort
Speaker 5: of just thought our offense would take over and winnas
Speaker 5: the game and we'd score one hundred and fifty and
Speaker 5: they might score a hundred, but we'd still get the win.
Speaker 5: And unfortunately, at this level, that's not how it works.
Speaker 5: And they got the better officers.
Speaker 6: Thought you were going to score one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: out of the first half, People start, including your better half,
Speaker 6: started to just almost book it for you.
Speaker 3: When you're up by thirty points, I reckon first or
Speaker 3: second quarter.
Speaker 2: He screenshot the live ladder because the Adlai Crows were
Speaker 2: on top and you had a percentage of four hundred.
Speaker 2: So he screenshot and then he posted it on Instagram
Speaker 2: said booking Grand Final tickets. Now that's not no, no,
Speaker 2: exactly right. We're going to ask you about that bump,
Speaker 2: don't we, So the McCadam bump. What were your thoughts
Speaker 2: on that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the time, I didn't see it.
Speaker 5: And then move on see that the replays and there's
Speaker 5: a bit, obviously a bit in the clip, and then
Speaker 5: move towards the decision. And there's a few things I
Speaker 5: like to say, but there's an appeal going on tonight,
Speaker 5: and I don't want to say too much.
Speaker 4: But the main thing we want going forward.
Speaker 5: From the AFL is just clarity on what is and
Speaker 5: what isn't allowed. And I feel like we've left this
Speaker 5: round with more confusion rather than clarity in that regard,
Speaker 5: but yes, it's disappointing because Shane is obviously a big
Speaker 5: part of our team and not having any three weeks.
Speaker 4: Is going to hurt.
Speaker 6: So we had a conversation yesterday about the bump in general.
Speaker 6: As a player, are you looking to bump now because
Speaker 6: it's pretty risky.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, it's basically it's moving towards being completely abolished, really
Speaker 5: in the way that if you go for the bump
Speaker 5: and anything happens with that player he drops his knees
Speaker 5: or he's sliding or something, and it leads to any
Speaker 5: sort of high contact, you know you're in strife. So
Speaker 5: I think the af I wanted to move to just
Speaker 5: just tackle, don't even think about bumping, And that's the
Speaker 5: way it feels like it's moving. And as a player
Speaker 5: now there's no real reason to bump, is what it
Speaker 5: feels like.
Speaker 2: What would you have done without the bump in your
Speaker 2: day when you were playing because you were filthy you
Speaker 2: just want to lay blokes out.
Speaker 6: We're playing the reserves. He's based on skill and Shane,
Speaker 6: how's he going? Because we know from what we know
Speaker 6: of Shan McCadam, he's a quiet sort of bloke all
Speaker 6: attention almost in like the entire headlines for the last
Speaker 6: few days have been on Shane McCadam nationally.
Speaker 1: How's he dealing with it all?
Speaker 4: No, I think he's been pretty good. He was around
Speaker 4: the club yesterday.
Speaker 5: He obviously went to the tribal hearing and he just
Speaker 5: sort of sort of sit there and he has to
Speaker 5: be present but doesn't have to say a whole lot,
Speaker 5: And that was a different experience for him, and I
Speaker 5: don't think he enjoyed it particularly, just sit there for
Speaker 5: two hours listening to him talk about one specific incident.
Speaker 5: But no, he was pretty up and about around the
Speaker 5: club in the sense that he always is. He's always
Speaker 5: smiling and cracking jokes. And I think he's still a
Speaker 5: bit of hope there that it might get overturned. But
Speaker 5: he's disappointed to miss the three games, but it's not
Speaker 5: something he's going to let ruin week or is he
Speaker 5: in that regard?
Speaker 2: See what happens to Ma and Ha. Yeah, we are
Speaker 2: so thrilled to have you on board. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for coming in this morning.
Speaker 4: Thank y, thank you.
Speaker 1: Tom, very good stuff. You'll do this again.
Speaker 4: Nicest thing Jody's ever said about it.
