0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Dan Houston's Monday to Wednesday at the Berk and it Tabin,

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Exelsat and Lighthouse War if you just know it's a

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Borough hotel, Dan.

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Good morning to you.

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Good morning.

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>It's two weeks ago. Damn. But how important is that

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Hawthorne win? Look now, when you look at the ladder

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>which is just so congested, you know you don't win

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that game. You're in a very different position, aren't you.

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, when you look at it like that, and

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 3>when you look at them absolutely smashing Brisbane and the

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 3>wins that they've had, you know you do value that

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Hawthorne win. They are a very good side and you know,

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure ladder on down the year we'll look back

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 3>at it and be very thankful for it.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally called the game on Saturday. You gots professional

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 1>job against North. It wasn't exactly a raucous atmosphere down there,

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was it felt What did it feel like to playing?

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Because at times we thought this this has got a

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>real trial game sort of vibe to it in terms

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of the the crowd numbers and the enthusiasm generally.

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there was. Well, I've played there a few times

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 3>and there's been a decent crowd. That's probably one of

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>the lower crowds, but they were pretty vocal at some stage,

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 3>especially when the ball Jason ran Fancas is going at

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>it with the tagger and all that sort of stuff,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>which was good. It was good to have that sort

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 3>of atmosphere and you know, we love getting down there

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 3>when we can, but you know, it is also good

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>playing in front of forty thousand and two.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Is there any good, any good exchanges with Jason out

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They look like he was he was holding his own

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>against the north boards. Did they talk much to him

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>or does the effect you're getting thumped by ten goals

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>tend to sort of quite the chirp a little bit?

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>I think when you look at it from a TV perspective,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't tell because I was playing down back that

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 3>there was a little bit of chirp towards him. And

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>he definitely, you know, vibes, offered and played really well

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 3>and I love when he kicked a few gals. He

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>definitely didn't shy away from letting them know about that.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't feel it doesn't get affected by it,

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't, because he's still young bloke. Sort of it

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>almost gets him up at about you reckon.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 3>I think when you're that competitive, if people want to

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 3>take you on and get out, yeah, it just takes

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you to another level. And that's definitely Jason and he

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 3>loves it. And you know, if any other team wants

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>to get under your skin, I'm sure.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Now warning, I don't know if you're aware of this,

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>because this is only broke last night, and I suspect

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the club talking about it today. Tom ren were reported

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to us earlier this morning that all the club's got

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a memo but holding the ball r all interpretations being

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>tightened up. They they're giving umpires that they've told umpires

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>less time for it to be considered. You've got had

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>pro opportunity, so more and more people are going to

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>be getting pinged. Just on the face of it that

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>having seen how it plays out, and again, you guys

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>will be the first ones to see what the new

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>interpretation held all unfolds. You happy with that? Do you

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's been getting a bit silly?

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I think there's been a few things that you've seen

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, well, it would be holding the ball,

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 3>but you can't take them to ground. I think that's

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 3>sort of that one needs to sort of be eliminated.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think I saw Boky say something on AFL

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>three sixty last night that you can't define what holding

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 3>the ball looks like these days, and you know that's

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 3>not for me to decide, but I think that's a

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 3>that's a good way to go about it, is just

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 3>really give us a a really clear indication of what

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 3>it looks like so that we can just play footy

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>from there.

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Then you're going to go from last Saturday game with

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>hardly any atmosphere to one that's just going to be

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a total spectacle tomorrow night under lights. You might have

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to pack your brolly.

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Though, Yeah, I know, I know what's like sixteen meals.

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>I was just there. I think last time we played

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 3>it looks super wet and it was point two of

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 3>a meal, So you.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't, well, that was the Hawthorne game. Was that misty

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>rain that Sunday are though? Yeah, you don't need much

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>moisture to change the game in an instant, do you? No?

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 3>You don't, you don't. I think, you know, hopefully the

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 3>rain holds off, but it doesn't look like it, and

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, we'll have to adjust our game style a

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 3>little bit. But I think it'd be a good contest.

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Culton love contested footy and if it's wet, there's going

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 3>to be heap to that.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 2>What do you do? Do you do you think it

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>could result in last minute changes to you know, if

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>you're a big lumbering tool forward, it might not be

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>your cup of tea. But if you're somebody likes zipping

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>around on the ground, which could better Port more than

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Carlton with all their big tools, couldn't it.

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a good question. It's definitely something that hasn't

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>been discussed or not that I know of, but I think, yeah, definitely,

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 3>I think maybe it's something might look into. I'm not

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>too sure, but you know, definitely, small on the floor

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>is a really beneficial thing to have in a wet game.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You've been part of some port teams that have had

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>wonderful mine around success minor premiers finished regularly in the

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>top four. Has it ever felt quieter as the top

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>four side as it does right now? You're halfway through

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the season. You guys are third on the ladder. Yet

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>you tune into all those shows everyone talks about SYDNEYCAU

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>Sydney'd be terrific, to be fair, their top but the

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Excellent revival seems to have captured everyone's imagination across the border,

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and gwos early form was something that everyone got excited by.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>You're sort of happy just skate along and doing your

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.359
<v Speaker 1>thing this year because it doesn't have the hype that

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>has had in previous years.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think, as you said, we've been in this

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 3>top four bracket for a few years now, and you know,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 3>there's been a little bit of hype, and then we've

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 3>got to finals and we haven't quite been able to deliver.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>So I think for us this is expected and internally

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 3>that's you know, what we're aiming for. But I think

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 3>when we get to finals, that's where the hype will

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>come and hopefully we can you know, get that little

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>marginal gain and take it to the next level and

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 3>go that little bit further, which I'm sure we'll drive

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of that height.

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Should listen in Friday, mate, your chairman is going to

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 2>be co hosting the show with Will Kochi is coming

<v Speaker 2>in here for the full three hours. He's replacing me

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>while I'm having a dental operation.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>You're going to need to deliver a win on Thursday night, Dan,

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because otherwise it's going to be hard work for me

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>on Friday.

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:23.720

<v Speaker 1>and all the best for tomorrow night, big game. The

<v Speaker 1>national audience watching in. It's going to be an absolute cracker.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll be love a big Thursday night game or

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Friday night game. And yeah, hopefully after this game we

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 3>have a good win and the heart starts to turn

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 3>a little bit for us and see how we go.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:47.039
