Speaker 4: Will you get first question?
Speaker 6: Lauren?
Speaker 2: Because he's your if you could be quite well, chat among.
Speaker 5: Very well, very well, very long season, pre season, ready
Speaker 5: to go, two weeks to go, two weeks ago. Effectively
Speaker 5: sort of a week and a half really, so starting
Speaker 5: on the Thursday night V. Sydney, so I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Before we get into the footy. There was a story
Speaker 1: flighting around that I just want to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it. Is it true, because I remember you
Speaker 1: made headlines when you performed that citizen's arrest tackle the
Speaker 1: young kids. Is it true you made contact with him
Speaker 1: and now you're like mentoring.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, there was a reach out, which I thought thoughts,
Speaker 5: that's that's fantastic, like to be able to get out. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the guy that was working with him at that particular time.
Speaker 5: So so I thought, oh, you know, I'm sort of intrigued.
Speaker 5: So you know, he's obviously trying to make some things
Speaker 5: that he did wrong right. So I went along and yeah,
Speaker 5: it was interesting story. I sort of asked for his
Speaker 5: recollection of the story and he so said, yeah, it's
Speaker 5: sort of like I turned around and this I thought
Speaker 5: a Jim junkie was chasing me around the.
Speaker 4: Thanks mate, it's just a Brownlow medalist premiership.
Speaker 5: Must it must have been the hoodie. I think he
Speaker 5: obviously clearly didn't recognize me. I mean, who wouldn't it
Speaker 5: was it was it was a good little touch point,
Speaker 5: and I'm really I'm actually really pleased I did it.
Speaker 2: So he was a kid who tried to steal a car,
Speaker 2: is that right?
Speaker 5: And you said, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I'm known from
Speaker 5: many things, but I'm more known, i think now for this.
Speaker 5: But but yeah, it was obviously a couple of years
Speaker 5: ago now, so it feels like it's so much yesterday.
Speaker 5: But but yeah, reach out and he's yeah, he's doing
Speaker 5: really well, which is really pleasing, good.
Speaker 4: Awesome, Fossy.
Speaker 3: The best thing about this time of year is that
Speaker 3: everyone starts on the same amount of points. Nobody's won
Speaker 3: a game, nobody's lost a game. How are you approaching
Speaker 3: the season? Because it's another big one for the cart
Speaker 3: and footy club. You know, the thing with the Blue
Speaker 3: Bag is they're always in the spotlight because everyone loves.
Speaker 4: To hate you. You know that they're a passionate bunch.
Speaker 5: We don't, but we don't get the height under the blanket,
Speaker 5: which is we start the season round zero. We obviously
Speaker 5: got round one versus Richmond. I mean, who would barrack
Speaker 5: for Richmond?
Speaker 2: Love the Tigers rebuilding?
Speaker 5: And then you know we obviously Enzac day calling with
Speaker 5: I mean, you can't disappear. So but that that's something
Speaker 5: that we love because I mean it's not everyone gets
Speaker 5: to go out in front of the MCG and play
Speaker 5: play in front of eighty thousand fans often. So now
Speaker 5: we're excited by the season. Obviously it has been a
Speaker 5: lot of changes as well through the through the preseason
Speaker 5: and they've all jailed really well. So just waiting to
Speaker 5: get started.
Speaker 1: Just on the changes, Clint, I heard you mentioned news
Speaker 1: earlier Charlie. Yeah, Charlie left the club and Clint's news earlier,
Speaker 1: he said. BOSSI and Charlie haven't spoken since then.
Speaker 5: I know we've it's been interaction, but yeah, I guess
Speaker 5: when you sort of end up you move on pretty
Speaker 5: quick though in this world.
Speaker 2: To the other station. I'd be like, see.
Speaker 3: You've spoken to our old employer.
Speaker 5: Oh, here we go. New we're getting personal.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, if they've tried to ring, I would send them to.
Speaker 4: That's the nature of foot Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so I mean not I don't want to
Speaker 3: say it's transac transactional, but it's sort of at that
Speaker 3: time of year, things happen and you can't be you know,
Speaker 3: you can't invest too much love and energy.
Speaker 5: Well, I think the club sucks you in. Like you
Speaker 5: got your own team to work with. You've got forty
Speaker 5: five players you're trying to improve, You've got nine teen
Speaker 5: coaches that you're trying to get a game style together on.
Speaker 5: So look, that is a it is a it is
Speaker 5: a big machine, which is quite time consuming. So you
Speaker 5: just end up sort of once those decisions made, you
Speaker 5: end up end up if you've.
Speaker 7: Lost some players, who are the new exciting players that
Speaker 7: you've got that we should look out for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, obviously we've got a couple of Sitney boys,
Speaker 5: Holly Floren, Will Haywood, Ben Ainsworth who is obviously Harry
Speaker 5: Dean who's a first round draft pick, Jacob Smith didn't
Speaker 5: play last year, who is going well this year. So
Speaker 5: we're sort of hopeful that they all get through this
Speaker 5: particular game next and then we can sort of fire
Speaker 5: on all cylinders for next week.
Speaker 2: So you had no injuries from the state of origin that.
Speaker 5: Well, we had Jacob weedering, so we had that one,
Speaker 5: which was really thankful. We didn't actually end up having cushion,
Speaker 5: but I thought he might have. I thought he might
Speaker 5: have punched his lung, ruption his gleen and done everything,
Speaker 5: and the shoulder the captain was sitting on it almost
Speaker 5: it was It's not one of those ones when you're
Speaker 5: sitting there and you're watching, you know, one of your
Speaker 5: best players lying on the grass and there's fifteen people
Speaker 5: surrounding him, and all you are sitting at home. You've
Speaker 5: got absolutely no control over the situation whatsoever, and all
Speaker 5: you're thinking about is that I hope he's okay. And
Speaker 5: you know, we were sort of getting some communication through
Speaker 5: text message and I was contacting our doctors to contact
Speaker 5: their doctors. We had some representatives there as well who
Speaker 5: were on the inn change ben So texting them to
Speaker 5: see what it's like. So they saw his information that
Speaker 5: was flying around. But in the end, you've got to
Speaker 5: just wait, because you've got to let the professionals be
Speaker 5: able to make the calls and sort of settle everyone,
Speaker 5: and then once you get the right information, you can
Speaker 5: sort of feel a bit better about things after that.
Speaker 5: But thankfully, thankfully he's fine. He's certainly he's a chance
Speaker 5: for next week. It'll be pretty tight call, but yeah,
Speaker 5: hopefully he sort of gets over what he's had and
Speaker 5: we can get him out there.
Speaker 1: We've had the chat numerous times about whether it was
Speaker 1: the right time to do State of Origin. As the
Speaker 1: coach of a player who was heard in it, do
Speaker 1: you think it's still smart?
Speaker 5: I don't think necessarily the timing's perfect, you know, like,
Speaker 5: certainly wasn't against where it was and still not if
Speaker 5: you want to do things like that early in the year,
Speaker 5: when they're feeling fresh and good about themselves and probably
Speaker 5: injury free, is the time when you'll get the most
Speaker 5: uptake from the players. As the season goes, as they
Speaker 5: start to get sore, they need rest, and it might
Speaker 5: not get the same traction. But I just hope that
Speaker 5: the initiative we take with this is that we keep
Speaker 5: uniqueness in it and that we don't do it every year.
Speaker 5: We do it sort of maybe once every three years.
Speaker 3: But I guess now, am I right in saying he
Speaker 3: would have been playing in a fully fledged set of
Speaker 3: intra club or like a competitive hit out, So it's
Speaker 3: still yeah, in the heat of battle.
Speaker 5: Definitely could have. It, Definitely could have, and that's probably
Speaker 5: why we're okay with it. But an intra club speed
Speaker 5: versus a state of origent speed and asking the intensity
Speaker 5: that they go out as somewhat different.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've watched a couple of those pre matches
Speaker 1: and even I could have a crack out there.
Speaker 4: What do you do over the summer? What do you
Speaker 4: do to escape footage?
Speaker 5: Well, just try to stay as fit as you possibly can.
Speaker 5: So I can tell as much as what you as
Speaker 5: much as what you try to do. But that's the
Speaker 5: best that I can do. So but before so I
Speaker 5: wanted the make, just make Jason's a little bit not
Speaker 5: sure about still about your team.
Speaker 4: He's changes every year.
Speaker 5: Before you go into where I reckon, I've seen a window.
Speaker 5: I've just a little window that might get you across
Speaker 5: over to Carlton. So I've got to shout here number three,
Speaker 5: so Jessey motlot. But it's significant also to me because
Speaker 5: it was my playing number as well. So I've got
Speaker 5: to even put the name up the top.
