1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Its Friday night, great win over Geelong and Buddy kicked

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: his thousand goals. Didn't look like he was going to

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: get there, only kicked one up until halftime and then

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: brought it home two in the third and in that

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: final quarter with five minutes fifty five to go, Buddy

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: slots the thousand goals. This is where Mayhem started. Everyone

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: ran out of the oval. It was great scenes. Some

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: of the photos are unbelievable. But behind the goals this

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: is where we need to focus on because there were

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: a group of mates there, and particularly one man by

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the name of Alex.

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 2: Wheeler who caught the ball. Here's some of the audience.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: I've got the bill.

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: And that man joins us right now.

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 4: Alex, thanks guy, thanks for having me on.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: Alex.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 5: Let's go back at the moment Buddy's lining up. You

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 5: know that you're in sort of direct line behind the goals.

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 5: Did it cross your mind before you marked it that

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 5: you thought I could beyond here?

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, I thought I was a big chance.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 6: There was a lot of people that actually moved towards defense,

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 6: obviously to storm. I thought, let's just just Carmen here

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 6: where just inside the fifty So a group part will

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 6: probably come about ten fifteen back to where we are.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, it came straight and it's stuck.

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: In the hands and you couldn't believe it.

28
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it hung into the pores.

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 6: But there was a bit of a juggle as well,

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 6: so that was a bread and then obviously yeah head

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 6: over tit into the concrete and on the ground and

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 6: was getting absolutely pole axed on the ground, a couple

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 6: in the ribs. There might have been maybe a bit

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 6: of work on the melon as well. I'm not too short.

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 6: But it all happened so quickly.

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: There was a couple of mums in front of you

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: that were really concerned. Well, were they having to go

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: at you or were they Were they worried about your face?

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 6: No, I think they were worried about my face. I

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 6: don't know why. It's a pretty rotten market anyway, So yeah,

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 6: they were pretty concerned about my welfare, which was nice.

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Alex.

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: When I was watching the footage and I saw you

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 5: fall over the seats in front, then you stand up

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: and you can't believe you've got the pill.

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: I thought, stick it up your shirt. Now, stick it

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: up your shirt.

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 5: Someone's going to grab it. Or wrestle it off you

49
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: How did you and the ball leave the ground?

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I actually went on to the ground, as

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 6: I just mentioned to you guys earlier. King O my mate,

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 6: he said, he let's get out on the field. So

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: I managed to get out there. A couple of Shimmy's

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 6: hand was himself.

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: So you went out there like she went out there.

56
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: I did.

57
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 6: I went out there, so I've got a bit of

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 6: action myself out on the field, which is nice. And

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 6: then I read into one of my other mates and

60
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 6: explain the situation.

61
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,079

00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: here now.

63
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 6: And as all this was happening, the cats fans come

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 6: over the top and tried to take the pill.

65
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: I said, not tonight, under the wing and just pong

66
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: and I got.

67
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: Out of there now.

68
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So all right, now you've got out of the ground,

00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: did everyone then? Where did you meet? And what was

71
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: the next plan of attack?

72
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

73
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: So obviously got out and then got on a more

00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 6: park road and I was online. I was on solo

75
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,920

Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in trouble here. I'm very exposed.

79
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, and anyway, he's got one with a light and

80
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 6: I jumped in the cab and he goes, well often

81
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,480

83
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 6: and then they sort of all met up at my

Speaker 6: place and you know, we had a bit of a

85

Speaker 6: Tom actually came around to my house on Saturday night

97
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 6: with a case of piece, which was unbelievable.

98

Speaker 4: That right, he is one of the nicest guys.

99
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a really really good guy. So, yeah, he

100
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 6: came around, we had a chat and whatever else. So

101
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 6: he brought his young guy around as well.

102
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: So it was Jimmy Jimmy Harley. Yeah, he's a great yah.

103
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 5: Has anyone offered to buy it off you? I mean,

104
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: I know the protocol says you've got to give it

105
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 5: back to the footy club. Have you had any cash

106
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 5: offers at this stage?

107
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: Alex?

108
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: There has been a couple of floaters get around.

109
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: What are we talking?

110
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: I can't despise that, Alex.

111
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: What do you really want though? Like, would you do

112
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: you want to have a chat to Buddy? I would

113
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: want to have a chat to Buddy.

114
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely, No.

115
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 6: I really came to get in there and the big

116
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 6: man and obviously go through that moment, So that'll be awesome.

117
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 5: It would makes sense that you actually handed back to

118
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: Buddy personally, wouldn't it.

119
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

120
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 4: I think so for sure. I think that makes sense.

121
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: What about mum and dad? Alex? Was there a moment

122
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: where You're going, you're idiot, what are you doing? You're

123
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: breaking the law here?

124
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? How about the old man?

125
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 6: I'm from Dubble originally, and he sort of suggested he

126
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 6: was going to get on the next flight and come

127
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 6: up and grab the pill and take it home.

128
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: And I said, you're joking, aren't you?

129
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 6: And anyway, he's sort of suggested he wanted it for

130
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: his birthday, and I.

131
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: Give that's happening.

132
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: So what other press are you doing today? Mate?

133
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: You got a full day of press. I mean the

134
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: last forty eight hours must have been out of control.

135
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: There's a bit on on beside myself.

136
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 6: I've had barely any sleep, so I'll be I'll be

137
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 6: probably crumbling at the press later.

138
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: Now.

139
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: The other thing is that we've heard we don't know

140
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: if this is a whisper or not. Yeah, have you

141
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,080

00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: you know what.

144
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,040

00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: Well played.

163
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Anyone caught Plugger's ball when he kicked the record as well.

164
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: But Alex Weld Mat, congratulations And obviously you're meeting up

165
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: with the club tomorrow, aren't you.

166
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: You're going down today, isn't it?

167
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

168
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: Today and tomorrow. I think today is a bit of

169
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 6: oppressor with Buddy, and then yeah, get out in the

170
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: the oval tomorrow and kick the ball around.

171
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: Of the boys.

172
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: And you're playing Ford Pocket this week. I think that

173
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: was part of the deal as well.

174
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: Or you're playing.

175
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: I spoke to Johnny Longmoy yesterday.

176
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: And you're in.

177
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 5: You've got it, mate, retire buddy, Oh, Alex reeler, mate,

178
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: that is magnificent.

179
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: Well and thanks for your time, buddy.

180
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, have a great game.

181
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: You would have had a great weekend.

182
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: A few beers, I would dare say Friday night if

183
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: you were Lance Buddy Franklin. It was one of the

184
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: greatest sporting moments in Australian history. I mean it's he's

185
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the sixth ever AFL footballer to kick a thousand goals.

186
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 3: Many say it won't happen again.

187
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: This is the thing. It will never happen again.

188
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: The way that the game is played now, no one

189
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: will kick another thousand goals and I don't think anyone

190
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: will kick a hundred.

191
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: Goals in a season.

192
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: And that's really the only time in the AFL game

193
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: where fans get to run out under the ground. There's

194
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot of controversy leading up to it because the

195
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: AFL said they initially said, we don't want you to

196
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: run out. No one's allowed to run out into the

197
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: ground when you tell people not to do it or

198
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: do that. I could not believe though, And Leno, you

199
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: were there at the game. You were there I think

200
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: ten and a half time, but you weren't there for

201
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the moment.

202
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: I did every think to try and get ted to

203
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: hang around. So I was like I would have strapped

204
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: him to the fence.

205
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 5: Was it was quarter to ten, No, and I've even

206
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: fed him with lemonade at quarter to ten at night

207
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: trying to get him to hang in there.

208
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: He was just burnt out, the poor kid.

209
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: I almost thought about just putting a putting a shirt

210
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: over his head and trying to get him to sleep.

211
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: So we had to get out of there.

212
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: So how how Because this is a great story to tell,

213
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: But how far.

214
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: Off do you reckon?

215
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,479
Speaker 1: You were from one of the greatest sporting moments, extraordinary

216
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: And you know.

217
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: What, Lenno came to sagurday before the game. We were

218
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: sitting in that pocket where he kicked it. So you

219
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 5: know when you see the guy before he even kicks

220
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: the ball, that first bloke that almost gets to him

221
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: as it leaves his booty. We were sitting right on

222
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 5: that fence line and with the action would have been there.

223
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: Was I had to go home and watch it on TV.

224
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: Were you and the oval?

225
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: I was at the other end, the same side, other

226
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 5: fifty so we had a fair old run.

227
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Right to get there.

228
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: And in all honesty, as much as it was amazing,

229
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 5: I didn't see a single sydness once played too far away, mate,

230
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: But the idea that towards after about or after about

231
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes, when he's there and he's on the ground

232
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 5: he's still smiling, you know, dum'n it.

233
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 3: Then you could see it a change in his face.

234
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: It was like, is there any plan for me to

235
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: get off the ground? Can anybody help me here?

236
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

237
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 4: I'm curate.

238
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: Why are you that they can get it? Run back off?

239
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 7: A game that blows my mind?

240
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: And the rain had settled in, I'll forget it. Well.

241
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: There was a lot of controversy yesterday, which I think. Look,

242
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: no one got hurt, which was great. They said there

243
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: was only nine police and there was something like twenty.

244
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: Three security guards. Maddie Degree, you were working on the nine.

245
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 8: Yeah. They did not expect I think the thirty thousand

246
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 8: people going under the ground because when Buddy Franklin did

247
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 8: it in ninety five, and it has been thirty years since,

248
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 8: there was a couple of hundred people that wanted to

249
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 8: get around him, and they ushered them off pretty quickly.

250
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 8: Once those people either got the high fire or didn't.

251
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: That was plug, Sorry Buddy.

252
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 8: Sorry, yeah, plug. And what they didn't expect was the

253
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 8: fact that every single person there pretty much wanted to

254
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 8: get on the ground, and then once they were on it,

255
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 8: they just wanted to hang.

256
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: On the grounds.

257
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 5: I was really surprised, like I didn't want to be

258
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: the guy sitting at home going.

259
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: Ah, God, where is security?

260
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: Because I want the freedom of being able to run

261
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 5: onto the field and I want that celebration to take place.

262
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: But I was watching going.

263
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 5: A couple of the Swans boys tried to get around

264
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: him at the start, but after that I would have

265
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: thought if I was Buddy Franklin, I'd be going, guys,

266
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 5: is anybody here to help?

267
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: You?

268
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: See?

269
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: This is the other thing as well. No one's out

270
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: there to hurt him or anything like that. This is

271
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: and you know what, some of the photos that came

272
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: out at some of the greatest photos you'll ever see.

273
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: One that I put up on Twitter that a guy

274
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: was in the right place at the right time, and

275
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: it looks like the sea of crowd that's.

276
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: Out in the oval then goes up into the stands.

277
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: It looks like there's one hundred thousand people and in

278
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: the middle, just raised up out of all of it

279
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: is Buddy with a smile on his.

280
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 8: Sensational What would have been very awkward though, because they

281
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 8: started running on as he was running in to kick,

282
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 8: he kicks that one behind all of people going I think.

283
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: We should be part of the post.

284
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: So there was a couple of weird things that happened.

285
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: One there was a family that took out a picnic

286
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: rug and set up a picnic on the wing the Ivall,

287
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: which was quite funny. Zach Toy from the opposition team Geelong,

288
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: he was trying to get off the ground and he's

289
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: clean this bloke up like this guy's had and.

290
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I think he was. He just started running. This guy

291
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: had his head down.

292
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: And Zach's hit him and then this guy's ran to

293
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: get the buddy as quick as he can and Zach too.

294
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: He was talking about it after the game. He left

295
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: something behind.

296
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: What he cleaned each other up and was a bit

297
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 7: of a head cash as well, but he apologized And

298
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 7: as he stood up and run off, I could see

299
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 7: his keys and falling on the ground and I thought, well,

300
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 7: it's just about as bad as a guests who's in

301
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 7: your final key? So I picked it up and chest

302
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 7: used him and kind of grabbed him by the tiler

303
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 7: to give him back his keys, and I think he

304
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 7: thought I was there to He kind of looked at

305
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 7: me like I was going, what a good bloke?

306
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: Love, what a good bloke?

307
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: How good was that.

308
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: Did you see the photo that was taken And it's

309
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: from behind the goals, and it's a professional photo. It's

310
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: from behind the goals at ground level, so as buddies

311
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: running into kick you can see the crowd sprinting towards him.

312
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: It's just an amazing photo. Was a phenomenal moment.

313
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: This was the other one that when we spoke about

314
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: this on our shower a couple of weeks ago, this

315
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: was the big one. So Matthew Richardson was out there

316
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,359
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ground. He was a commentator

317
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: and he ran into a woman. Have a listen to this.

318
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 8: The lady came up to me and she said, we've

319
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 8: just sprinkled some relatives ashes in the middle of the

320
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 8: scg and I I sort of didn't know what to say.

321
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: And then this is what happened.

322
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: A woman went out into the middle of the ground

323
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: and spread ashes in the middle of a pitch, in

324
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: the guts there where they actually throw the ball.

325
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: I guess that's the problem.

326

328
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 8: have been done to the ground just so people can

Speaker 8: say they did that is.

330
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: To say that you've spread a relatives ashes on Buddy's

331

Speaker 1: thousandth goal in the middle of the sekick.

332
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080

333
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,840
