Speaker 1: Solutely sick plus Personify.
Speaker 2: Josseah Shelley in the studio with us Jump on the
Speaker 2: food Land Facebook live stream, Money to You, Josh, good morning, Lucia,
Speaker 2: good win on the weekend, important win too, willbe it
Speaker 2: under some pretty trying conditions weather wise. Have you ever
Speaker 2: played in a wetter or worse day for footy than
Speaker 2: that night?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely up there. The one that takes
Speaker 1: the case for me was under sixteens of the country
Speaker 1: game we played down in Queensland was meant to be
Speaker 1: really good conditions and it was a pure mud pit
Speaker 1: that day. And one of those games we kicked the
Speaker 1: ball and it literally gets stopped in the ground. Kick
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 2: So that's one. And Saturday night is in the in
Speaker 2: the top couple.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely in the top couple. With how wed it was,
Speaker 1: it was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Were you guys prepared? I don't. I think most people
Speaker 2: going to the game saw the forecast and most of
Speaker 2: the most of the suggestion was the worst of the
Speaker 2: rain is either going to be before the game or
Speaker 2: well after. And by surprise? Did it catch you guys
Speaker 2: by surprise?
Speaker 1: It definitely caught us from surprise. Normally we get a
Speaker 1: bit of an ink clink early in the week and
Speaker 1: Nixy and the coaches will kind of mention it's going
Speaker 1: to be more of a wet weather game and we'll
Speaker 1: play kind of this bit of style a bit more contested.
Speaker 1: But we didn't really understand how bad it was until
Speaker 1: we got there before the game.
Speaker 2: So you get there before the game, the rain's pouring
Speaker 2: down and you've got big Riley philth sitting as the sub.
Speaker 2: What were you thinking and how extraordinary was his impact
Speaker 2: coming on in that last quarter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was pretty pretty caen for him to get
Speaker 1: on because I was like, yes, he's just going to
Speaker 1: bring everything to the ground now, he won't be marking
Speaker 1: much because it's quite slippery. But did probably the complete
Speaker 1: opposite when he come on. He marked everything and he
Speaker 1: kick goals. He was stiff, armed, fearful. It was pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: But it was great to see him back because we
Speaker 1: know how important he was going to be for us
Speaker 1: at the start of this year and the amount of
Speaker 1: work he did getting his knee right and he's so
Speaker 1: fit and strong at the moment. To see what he
Speaker 1: was doing in the gym and on the running track
Speaker 1: is really coming to his game.
Speaker 2: Has he done nothing but lift weights last little while.
Speaker 1: It looks like that, Yes, he looks like that because
Speaker 1: he's so big and strong, But yeah, he's also he's running,
Speaker 1: still one of his weapons, and he's still really good
Speaker 1: at using that as well.
Speaker 2: Does it feel exciting for you guys in it or
Speaker 2: is it this the kind of thing that only the
Speaker 2: fans get excited about where you're playing some good food
Speaker 2: and you get some result and you're doing so with
Speaker 2: a super young side. I mean, we had Hugh Bonder,
Speaker 2: we spoke about last week Day Boo and did a
Speaker 2: terrific job on the night, Zach Taylor, Billy Dowling, guys
Speaker 2: that have played a handful of games now playing really
Speaker 2: important roles, Riley, Phil Foop coming back. Do you feel
Speaker 2: like you've got this, this exciting younger generation that's pushing
Speaker 2: to these results at the moment or does that sort
Speaker 2: of not endy your thinking?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely does, especially when we had we had
Speaker 1: my draft year and Hugh and Bill's draft year. Everyone
Speaker 1: played and Max as well, so everyone still forgets how
Speaker 1: young Max is. Of course is still in his second
Speaker 1: year too, so he's the amount of young players that
Speaker 1: are playing at the name. It's a great vibe and
Speaker 1: it's exciting, and I think it still keeps the older
Speaker 1: guys like your Texas You're Brodie Smith's you lad he's
Speaker 1: still young too, because you've got so much use coming
Speaker 1: through and so much talent. But I think in the
Speaker 1: long run it's going to really help us.
Speaker 2: Do you do you then this Friday night, Friday Night
Speaker 2: you're under the lights. I mean it's the big, the
Speaker 2: big stay different loves. Friday night footy hasn't been a
Speaker 2: happy hunting ground against Eston and over there, albeit it
Speaker 2: must be. It'll be nice to get out of the
Speaker 2: rain at very least under the roof.
Speaker 1: Yeah it will. We're very, very lucky to play Essendon again.
Speaker 1: I think we kind of we owe them now with
Speaker 1: how it went last time we played them with a
Speaker 1: few incidents that went right before the sign so we'll
Speaker 1: be really fit and raring to go this week. But
Speaker 1: it's also exciting for our young players who haven't played
Speaker 1: a lot of Friday night footy too, So I think
Speaker 1: a lot about the guys like Billy and Hugh Bond
Speaker 1: and those guys who are can to experience it for
Speaker 1: the first time and experience. How cool he's playing at Marvel.
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of compare it to an
Speaker 1: NBA game. You get to play under the lights and
Speaker 1: when a goals kicked, there's heaps of lights going on
Speaker 1: and everything's going on. So it's a bit of a
Speaker 1: different vibe, but it's quite exciting.
Speaker 2: Sound different out there as well, under the roof, like atmosphere,
Speaker 2: proud involvement.
Speaker 1: Does it feel different, Yeah, especially because it's not I
Speaker 1: think it's maybe forty thousand or whatever it is and
Speaker 1: forty fifty thousand, and it sounds very very loud because
Speaker 1: it's very compact. But it's a great day for ball
Speaker 1: movement and quick ball movement because us because you're the
Speaker 1: under the roof and they win no rain.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this week City? We've just
Speaker 2: had a conversation about it and I've just done it.
Speaker 2: We've talked about the young kids and you know they're
Speaker 2: coming through in this exciting generation and Max and Billy
Speaker 2: and Zach and these guys. Do you feel like you're
Speaker 2: aging in dog years in footy like you're one of
Speaker 2: the young guys. Yeah, but because you played from the start.
Speaker 2: This is why we probably leave Max out of it
Speaker 2: because he too played from the start. It sort of
Speaker 2: feels like you've been around for a lot longer than
Speaker 2: you have, do you do you feel like that sometimes,
Speaker 2: like you know, it's not like I've been here for
Speaker 2: ten years, but you can sort of get treated like that.
Speaker 1: A bit, you do. I feel like, especially like some
Speaker 1: of Mysel and Jake who have played over fifty games
Speaker 1: already in their first three years, which is which is
Speaker 1: a great thing to do, but you kind of get
Speaker 1: forgotten about how you're still in your third year and
Speaker 1: you're still learning so much. And for example, Jake's having
Speaker 1: his first season ever as a midfielder and he's got
Speaker 1: to play on the likes of your Patrick Crips and
Speaker 1: your Bond and Palis and he's learning his craft. And
Speaker 1: I'm playing on some great small defenders and some backman
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel like you do kind of you
Speaker 1: get put in that situation pretty quickly. But actually Scott
Speaker 1: Burns was saying right or yesterday that Mick Moldause when
Speaker 1: he was playing Collingwood, said, as soon as you come
Speaker 1: to the club, your your birth certificates gets torn up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you come in and you've got to be treated
Speaker 1: just as the same, because there's no difference if you're
Speaker 1: if you're twenty or you're thirty four years old.
Speaker 2: Let's always and maybe it goes maybe it's different player
Speaker 2: for player. That example is really interesting because there's always
Speaker 2: a debate with player development. You know, he's a better plan.
Speaker 2: A few years at so saandful level and finding your
Speaker 2: feet and getting comfortable, getting body up to scratch, all
Speaker 2: coming in round one. When you look back how you
Speaker 2: started off, was it just that where you were and
Speaker 2: who you are as a person, it was going to
Speaker 2: be okay for you. You come up and suffer the
Speaker 2: hits and the Knox and the you know, I mean
Speaker 2: that both in terms of physically and mentally, whereas that
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the same for others. Or do you think
Speaker 2: it's best to get talent in straight away?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a tough question.
Speaker 2: I mean it's going to be different person different but.
Speaker 1: Different personnel as well. For example, my roommate Luke Nane Curvis,
Speaker 1: he come in a bit of a liner frame. The
Speaker 1: last couple of years, really worked on his diet and
Speaker 1: he's put on weight and I feel like at the
Speaker 1: time he really wanted to be playing AFL because he
Speaker 1: saw myself and Jake playing, but he was grinding away
Speaker 1: in the sample. But for that it helped him in
Speaker 1: the long rue to be playing consistent footy at the moment.
Speaker 1: For others, they get maybe pushed in too early and
Speaker 1: then it's a bit harder to adapt layter down the track.
Speaker 1: But I think it really just comes down to, yeah,
Speaker 1: the how you go in pre season, how physical you
Speaker 1: are before you get drafted, which makes a big difference.
Speaker 1: But I feel like coach coaches can really help players
Speaker 1: fit into a side straight away and kind of identify
Speaker 1: their talent.
Speaker 2: Well, we look forward to seeing what you can do
Speaker 2: on Friday night a bitter conditions with someone like you
Speaker 2: with a bit of flash, bit of polish and skill
Speaker 2: kicking some goals under the roof as opposed to try
Speaker 2: and negotiating the slog that it was on Saturday night.
Speaker 2: So we look forward to seeing you out there, mate
Speaker 2: and all the best win this Friday night with that
Speaker 2: same young group, and I think people are gonna start
Speaker 2: getting a bit excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Will, Thanks Lucie, David Pemberthy and Will Goodings
