Speaker 4: So Laurie put a cafe for some coffee.
Speaker 3: You're doing the long drive from Melbourne to Adelaide? Now
Speaker 3: is this by choice or because you couldn't get a flight?
Speaker 4: A bit by choice? We could have got a flight
Speaker 4: if we were prepared to extend our mortgage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. You didn't hit You didn't hit the
Speaker 3: wizard up and say come on son, you've had a
Speaker 3: good few years. Put your hand in your pocket for mum.
Speaker 4: No, we didn't bother with that because the aider probably
Speaker 4: would have been No.
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, who's who's in the in the traveling team?
Speaker 1: Who have you got in the car with you?
Speaker 4: So I've got my husband Dave, and my oldest son
Speaker 4: Brad and his girlfriend Lucy and another friend Scott.
Speaker 3: What sort of car are we packing?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: How much room is there?
Speaker 4: We're in the Nevara, but it's still a bit tight,
Speaker 4: bit of a tight squeeze. Everyone else except myself quite tall,
Speaker 4: so I get to shit behind Dave in his seat,
Speaker 4: so because I don't need the leg room.
Speaker 1: Apparently enjoying now?
Speaker 4: Is your son?
Speaker 3: Does he Barracks for Collingwood?
Speaker 4: Yes, we all Barrick. Well, ye, apparently we all go
Speaker 4: Barrick for Collingwood now, but yes, we all grew up Collingwood.
Speaker 1: Laurie, it's Jase here. You must be so bloody proud
Speaker 1: of your boy. What a season he's had.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's well, he's living his best dream, isn't he?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: What what wal could you ask for? That? That was
Speaker 4: his dream? And we always just said yes, yes, Nick,
Speaker 4: that's what you'll do. And here he is.
Speaker 1: We've gotten to know him quite well over the year.
Speaker 1: He's been coming in every weekend. Seems we love him.
Speaker 1: He just seems like a good lad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look he is. He's he tells it as it is.
Speaker 4: He's definitely what you see is what you get off
Speaker 4: the field.
Speaker 2: Ye, sorry, Laurie, have you packed your wizard hats. That's
Speaker 2: the first part of the question.
Speaker 1: Second question is missus wizard wearing a wizard? How does
Speaker 1: the nickname sit with you? Do you love it?
Speaker 4: I haven't packed a hat because he would kill me
Speaker 4: if I wore a hat. And someone did say to me,
Speaker 4: you need to wear it if you're getting FaceTime interview,
Speaker 4: and I said.
Speaker 3: No, Florie. What is the vibe at the club? Like,
Speaker 3: are the parents a close knit community? Do the Hawks
Speaker 3: moms and dads and families will hang out together? And
Speaker 3: how's everyone feeling?
Speaker 4: It's really good. Look, we couldn't have thanks for more
Speaker 4: of a positive experience as far as but being introduced
Speaker 4: to the AFL. The Hawks family is definitely a family
Speaker 4: club and we really feel part of the group. We
Speaker 4: were all catching up before the game. We do most games,
Speaker 4: and we have dinners throughout the years, so we've actually
Speaker 4: got to know all families really well, which is great.
Speaker 1: Just quickly back to Clint's question, how does the wizard
Speaker 1: nickname sit with you?
Speaker 4: Look, it's fine, it's not what we know him as
Speaker 4: We have a laugh about it and call to me.
Speaker 4: We did say to Count when he introduced it that
Speaker 4: he should patent the name because he has definitely got
Speaker 4: it on a roll. We just roll with the punches
Speaker 4: as Nick has, which I think is really good, has
Speaker 4: embraced it. We know him as what or bullool is
Speaker 4: what most of his mates call him.
Speaker 1: Just like just a hard man.
Speaker 4: Hard man on the field, that's what to call him.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Or does he only play football?
Speaker 1: And when he's not on the field he plays PlayStation
Speaker 1: like that is literally his life.
Speaker 4: That is literally his life. They're trying to find something
Speaker 4: else for him to do. And he did say to
Speaker 4: me about a month ago he was going to purchase
Speaker 4: the dog. I said, no, you're not. He said, well, mum,
Speaker 4: you don't actually have a stay because I live at
Speaker 4: a home. I said, well, who's looking after the dog
Speaker 4: when you're not around?
Speaker 2: You are lur really quite close to Nick Glory, So
Speaker 2: I'll babysit the dock.
Speaker 1: Someone's looking after yours.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, actually okay, So you're heading to you're heading
Speaker 2: to Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 1: Now Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 2: The last time the Hawk well that the Hawthorne Final
Speaker 2: last year against Port Adelaide got a little bit willing.
Speaker 2: So what sort of atmosphere are you expecting over there
Speaker 2: because they can get a bit fair all the old
Speaker 2: South Australian.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm hoping it's a little bit better than the
Speaker 4: Port Adelaide crowd last the Adelaide Yeah, that was that
Speaker 4: was definitely an eye opener for us. So yeah, and
Speaker 4: we've actually got someone that's fairly close to the family
Speaker 4: that plays for Adelaide. So oh a bit bit's all
Speaker 4: one of both brand and Nick's really good mate, Jakes
Speaker 4: the Lego plays for Adelaide. So we're all a little
Speaker 4: bit sort of like should we wish in luck?
Speaker 2: No?
