Speaker 1: Forty finals are here. It's going to be one hell
Speaker 1: of a match later on this week in Adelaide, Pies
Speaker 1: against Crows.
Speaker 2: We get to September and there is excitement in the
Speaker 2: air in Melbourne, even though Thursday night's game is not
Speaker 2: here in Melbourne. It is over in Adelaide. It is
Speaker 2: one v four Adelaide versus the Pies. And joining us
Speaker 2: this morning is Jeremy how.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning. Thanks having me.
Speaker 2: Firstly, how are you? How's your injury going?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's actually from where it started to where it is,
Speaker 4: it's trending really well. So I've had a really good
Speaker 4: first nine days post injury and yeah, I've been able
Speaker 4: to get a significant amount of work in.
Speaker 3: So so is it.
Speaker 4: You're groin Yeah, so I heard it's an aductor strain,
Speaker 4: so a reoccurrence of the similar injury that happened about
Speaker 4: a month ago, but I was a little bit more
Speaker 4: significant this time. So we've been able to get plenty
Speaker 4: in and I've been training pretty hard.
Speaker 3: I've made up some time, which is pleasing.
Speaker 1: But because did they originally say you're out for the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they gave me like.
Speaker 4: A it was pretty much a four to six type
Speaker 4: window originally, and then given that I injured at the
Speaker 4: first time, i'd get a feebe of work in pre
Speaker 4: It's helped me bounce back to this one really relatively quickly.
Speaker 1: So have we just got to rest it.
Speaker 3: We weren't really in a position to rest it.
Speaker 4: So if the injury happened in June, it's a lot
Speaker 4: different than the way that you treated in August. So
Speaker 4: now that finals come around entered September, you've got to
Speaker 4: get pretty aggressive with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because the week off between the season and
Speaker 2: the finals some people love and some people hate, but
Speaker 2: for someone like you, it must be great.
Speaker 3: Another we well welcome to it, and that's why.
Speaker 4: And then fortunate enough at top four position that if
Speaker 4: the boys could manage to go extra well and get
Speaker 4: it done and buys me another two weeks, which would
Speaker 4: be nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, otherwise you've got you it's a tough call.
Speaker 5: So if they go down to the Crows, then you've
Speaker 5: got to decide whether you play the next match. But
Speaker 5: if you've gone to early, then you might not be
Speaker 5: out to the Grand Final.
Speaker 3: And that, oh, it's a discussion that you have.
Speaker 4: But given a given what's on the line and what's
Speaker 4: required to play like it's hard enough, but finals is
Speaker 4: a different kettle of fish, So you'd have to be
Speaker 4: very sure that you're good to go, and yeah, you'd
Speaker 4: definitely be touching go.
Speaker 2: So what is the vibe around the Colleingwood Football Club
Speaker 2: like at the moment, because I love this time of year,
Speaker 2: there's a buzz in the airs of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you nailed it.
Speaker 4: I think this time as soon as September hits, the
Speaker 4: weather changes, everyone gets a whiff of finals and then
Speaker 4: just puts you in a.
Speaker 3: Really exciting frame of mind.
Speaker 4: And you look at this this final series in particular,
Speaker 4: I think the eight sides that are in it, you
Speaker 4: can mount a really strong case for who's who's playing well,
Speaker 4: who's got a.
Speaker 3: Chance to win it all, who's your what's your Gutso outside.
Speaker 2: Of us really, yeah, do you think it's going to
Speaker 2: say another team? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, as in who would like the Pies v Who?
Speaker 3: In the end, I love the way Geelong I've obviously
Speaker 3: been playing really.
Speaker 1: Strong come out of nowhere that everyone else.
Speaker 4: People always talk about the draw that they've had, but
Speaker 4: you only play who's in front of you, and they
Speaker 4: play some really strong footy and a lot of the
Speaker 4: way that they play.
Speaker 2: So Collingwood versus Geelong Final, can you imagine he laughing at.
Speaker 1: Me trying to get involved in footy questions.
Speaker 3: Now I played one game, you're playing.
Speaker 2: He often says about things they just came out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a well.
Speaker 5: Just I feel like there hasn't been much talk about Geelong,
Speaker 5: like a lot of it was us getting the Collie
Speaker 5: wobbles and Adelaide at the top.
Speaker 1: You know, they get Gelong of just along.
Speaker 4: To be fair, they're playing probably the most consistent footy
Speaker 4: throughout so they've put himself in a great position to
Speaker 4: take on Brizzy at the g and that's the game
Speaker 4: for me. Like, I'm a footy fan, So look at
Speaker 4: all the games, like I'm actually excited to watch them
Speaker 4: all because they're all blockbusters.
Speaker 3: And don't you don't actually know which way they're all
Speaker 3: going to get.
Speaker 2: When you're injured, because I know some players when they're injured,
Speaker 2: they actually can't even cop watching it because they're too frustrated.
Speaker 2: Do you sit in the stands and watch or do
Speaker 2: you say it? Like will you go over to Adelaide
Speaker 2: or you be at home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely won't travel, but if the boys are
Speaker 4: playing here, i'd go, how do you go?
Speaker 3: Well, I still getting the.
Speaker 4: Change rooms two and a half hours pre game, so
Speaker 4: you almost feel like you're a part of it. You
Speaker 4: get around to make sure you get the touch half
Speaker 4: hours pre game, two and a half hours pre game.
Speaker 4: Got the death football match. I rocked up with Tend
Speaker 4: Me to.
Speaker 3: Me to go.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but it's it's challenging watching like you're feeling
Speaker 4: that you get in the one. I get Phomo really bad.
Speaker 4: But to the feeling of like knowing that you can't
Speaker 4: really contribute on field is really hard to really hard
Speaker 4: to take. But yeah, the guys are training well. They
Speaker 4: put himself in a great position to take on Adelaide
Speaker 4: and really excited to watch.
Speaker 1: Just quickly I did mention the Dad's footy match. You
Speaker 1: watched the video? Any feedback, Ah, So we've got this.
Speaker 4: We've actually got this thing that would would hold you
Speaker 4: in good stead. We call it don't no happy feet.
Speaker 4: So when you get the ball or a free kick
Speaker 4: or a mark, don't don't like kind of the penguage,
Speaker 4: do something like.
Speaker 2: Don't run on the spot because you cough it up.
Speaker 4: It's easy to turn over and unfortunately that's kind of
Speaker 4: probably what happened in your scenario, happy Feet, But it
Speaker 4: was just good to see you get out there and
Speaker 4: the tag it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right. So with the other thing he
Speaker 2: needed to learn was the that would have been a
Speaker 2: good start.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: If I hear the free kick man just stop the game,
Speaker 5: I would have taken my time, you know, real.
Speaker 3: Hear the whistle, it's an opportunity to take a breath.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll tell you worry. I was focusing on breathing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, there is a real rivalry between Adelaide and Collingwood.
Speaker 2: We've seen a couple of games where it's been very physical.
Speaker 2: There's also been some controversy in games with Isaac crankin
Speaker 2: between Adelaide and Collingwood. Do you think that that the
Speaker 2: Pies players will go into it with a bit more
Speaker 2: fire in the belly?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: With how that plays out, I think that the fans
Speaker 4: will have a genuine thirst for the game more than
Speaker 4: more than ever. But yeah, for us, I think our
Speaker 4: last ten games against the Crow has been really really close.
Speaker 4: So we've been fortunate enough to pip them on most
Speaker 4: of those occasions.
Speaker 3: But then on the weekend when we played them a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Sorry, they got us by three, and that game could
Speaker 4: have gone either way. You know, we'll plus thirty three
Speaker 4: inside fifty, which and not winning a game is pretty outrageous.
Speaker 4: But their defense is unbelievable. So yeah, it's an exciting game.
Speaker 4: It's one of those ones that if the boys knew
Speaker 4: that they were going to Adelaide, there was a hungry
Speaker 4: to get back on plane and get.
Speaker 3: Back over there.
Speaker 4: So they're excited willing to get over there and attack
Speaker 4: it to see how they look like.
Speaker 5: It's a very expensive if you guys need help getting
Speaker 5: over there. I've heard they're running buses.
Speaker 3: That the pie a lot of buses.
Speaker 2: I think they're leaving at seven thirty on Thursday morning.
Speaker 3: Yes, not for the players, not for the players.
Speaker 2: Jase being a huge Collingwood found, I'm trying to get
Speaker 2: him on the bus.
Speaker 3: Are you beyond there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Drive?
Speaker 2: How do people get a seat?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So I think it's one hundred and thirty bucks in
Speaker 4: the club of the cover paying half of it, which
Speaker 4: is great and you should do for the club.
Speaker 3: There's five buses are going to be heading over at least.
Speaker 5: For those guys win, because otherwise it is a grim
Speaker 5: trip home on the bus.
Speaker 3: Depends how you look at it.
Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is Colin will get a second chance. Yeah,
Speaker 2: by the way, so they'll definitely be two games. So
Speaker 2: it's normally two hundred and sixty five, but it's one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two dollars if you want to travel
Speaker 2: with the Collingwood members. The Piles are subsidizing half of
Speaker 2: the two hundred, which is great.
Speaker 1: The vibe would be amazing heading over for.
Speaker 4: That, absolutely, that'd be exciting bus drip over and hopefully
Speaker 4: and even better one on the way back.
Speaker 1: All good luck.
Speaker 2: To your pies and we hope we see you out there.
Speaker 3: One minute, I'll go.
Speaker 5: Back to Jeremy. How join us on the air from
Speaker 5: the Pies. It has just gone twenty one past seven.
Speaker 2: Jason Lauren Lauren wake up feeling good following them on
Speaker 2: the socials.
