1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Only premiership coaches need apply.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Tonight's the men who know what it takes to lift

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: the cup set up the September quest.

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 3: The last teams for the regular season have been lodged

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 3: as the Sun steal themselves for the must.

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 4: Win class with Essendon and Harley Reid extends his time

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 4: with the Eagles, the number one pick, resisting the long

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 4: term law, adding two years to his contracts.

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 5: We talked about his step into it, embrace all of

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 5: it in the room and eat.

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: It's unedifying for a senior coach to do that. They're

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: on the side of Courtia with the brain tape. The

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: man on they played the best footy I've.

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Ever seen at the start of the season, and President

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: left the cup over said, of course they do.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: It is the stuff that legends are made of.

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 5: What is holding the ball? I don't think I could

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 5: answer it clearly right now that I could do something wrong,

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 5: you know, And I need to get and the boards

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: actually the fans lover and with no fans, no through

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 5: sixty year old.

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: The winter bit back hard today in Melbourne, gas and

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: in the western suburbs. The most miserable sight you could

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: imagine in a footing season. The Western Bulldogs, who are

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: condemned to a purgatory no team should ever have to live,

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: were sent out onto the training track just in case

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: Gold Coast take the gas tomorrow night.

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: How would you have gone with this?

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: I would have made them train for three hours mouthguards

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: in contest after contest after contest. The alternative would be

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: sitting in a pub with open fire, going just drowning

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: your sorrows. Know That's what probably they were steering at

33
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: if they we didn't have this convoluted extra game. But no,

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: this is These are rare and unique scenes, aren't They

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Never to be repeated, never ever to be repeated, Because

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter how strong will you are. Your mind

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: just goes to tomorrow night. You think nah, nah, I

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: think no.

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: If you're a Bulldogs players put binge on watch the

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: new season fact, well, don't subject yourself to it and

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: have a WhatsApp group. If it's necessary to turn on

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: with ten minutes to go, then flick across.

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: I don't know many Gold Coasts and supporters. We have

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: one here, God loving, so for this sake, I hope

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: they win, but imagine if they didn't.

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: It would be one of the greatest.

47
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: Stories, not great one of all the backtracking that they

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: have to go from.

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: All of the punts and then they'll beat the Giant,

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden they're in a semi final.

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: I'll get to the pre lim and then we'll go

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: Le's go back to that week when they lost that game.

53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: We digress. Here's all we have coming tonight.

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: Three premiership coaches all lined up. Chris got, Craig McCrae

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: and Chris Fagan to join us and then they come

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: into their own at this time of year with the

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: news with the contract news midweek tackle Lawrence leading MAKA

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: and Ralphie.

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: Tomorrow nights we'll be.

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: Your pregame show ahead of Gold Coast and Essendon and

61
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: first Crack will come in the immediate after. Mark damien

62
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: Hart will join us in the build up to a

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: historic night on offer for the Suns and then Thursday

64
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: night the AFL Awards, the All Australian team will be unveiled,

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: the Coaches Association Player of the Year, the Lee Matthews

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: Trophy for the MVP. We've got to look at the

67
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: forty four man squad from which the All Australian will

68
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: be selected. Four teams dominate with five each Adelaide Brisbane,

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Gold Coaster and the Western Bulldogs. There were none for Carlton, Essendon,

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: West Coast and North Melbourne. The most contentious of those

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: would be Tristan Sherry I think, who for a long

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: time was thought to be the ruckman. Twenty eight players

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: are striving for their first Blazer two. Hugh McCluggage has

74
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: been in four squads. Tom libertore has been in two.

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: Will they see the main squad this time? Max Gorn

76
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: a chance for a record equaling eighth all Australian and

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: only eight of last year's team returned to the squad.

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: So you do your picks for tomorrow night.

79
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 5: I will.

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: Now there's a couple that jump out at me, which

81
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: I think a great footy story, So we'll get stuck

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: into that tomorrow night.

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's have a look at the teams that

84
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: have landed for tomorrow night's game. There are three changes

85
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: for Gold Coast. They are all by choice. Certainly two

86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: of them make them significantly stronger. Rioli and Humphrey are

87
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: back from injury. Jake Rodgers, who haven't seen since Round nine,

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: has been reignited. Sexton Adams and Lockey goldbin. Max Lawton

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: points out he will be the first player in league

90
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: history to both debut and be dropped in the same mountains,

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: and Essendon get back there too. Lates outs from last

92
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: week Durham and la Verde makes them stronger. Gresham hasn't

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: made the trip for personal reasons and Johnson's been omitted.

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, so both teams are stronger for the inns, which

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: will hopefully from an Adelaie Nessing point of view, make

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more competitive.

97
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: But no mucking around.

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: From Dimmer's perspective, I think he's really important Bailey Humphy

99
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: to come back into this side, as is Dan Reli.

100
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: We spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: he said he Dan was sort of eyeing off of

102
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: comeback with the first week of the finals. He may

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: have been a little bit optimistic. So he's been I

104
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: wouldn't say rush back in. He's ready to go. But

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: this is you can't miss step here from a gold

106
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: cot Son's point of view, and they've picked a stronger

107
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: side than they did last week.

108
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: That's all we can do, right, We'll dig deep into

109
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: that tomorrow night.

110
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: The contract news as it's landed today So Harley Reid

111
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: has extended his by two years at West Coast, so

112
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: he had next year to run and he's added two.

113
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: This is the perfect contract, in my opinion, to do.

114
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: It's the one that in the modern landscape gets looked

115
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: over too much. It allows Harley to grow into the

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: player that he's going to be three years, four and five.

117
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: There's heavy incentives if he becomes the Eagles' best player.

118
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: He'll earned two million dollars during those years, and it

119
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: allows West Coast to grow with him and show him

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: that they are worthy of his long term commitment. For

121
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: manager and for player and for club. I personally salute this.

122
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Now it ticks all around here.

123
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: This is the Chris Judd template being deployed with Harley,

124
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: and it's a great template. Juddy gave great service to

125
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: the club, captain them to a premiership and then came

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: back to Victoria. And I'm not suggesting that Harley will

127
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: come back, but it gives him the option to come back.

128
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: So Juddy came back after six years. This sees Harley

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: through five and then, as you say, they'll make it

130
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: a seat. With all of the information in front of him,

131
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: it's good. Next year he plays hopefully with Elliot O

132
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: and the midfield alongsideing with Tom mccarthur, who's had a

133
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: fantastic season. You throw Harley in their waterman at the

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: other end of the ground. Baker will be better for

135
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: having a year. Chessa looks as better as the year

136
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: wore on, so he will enjoy his football much.

137
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: More next year, one would hope.

138
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: And it's interesting, great sign for a team that's been

139
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: kicked in the head affair bit over the last couple

140
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: of years.

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important all round. So let's hope that that

142
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: goes well on a Carlton front. As the car park

143
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: today was a bit of a spectacle as the exit

144
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: interviews began and Jack Sylvanne confirmed to the club that

145
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: he's going to exercise his rights for free agency.

146
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: This is what he was saying on the way.

147
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: Have your head around potentially leaving the club.

148
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially it's something not working on the next couple

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: of days and well.

150
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 5: Coming out and n what it means to you to

151
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: walk away from the club with your boyhood club obviously,

152
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: I have a I love the club very much, so

153
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 5: it would be a big decision to make.

154
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Thanks it is.

155
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: A big decision because it's an name that has bound

156
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: the generations at Carlton. But this has felt inevitable for

157
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: the back half of the season and it feels like

158
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: a choice between Collingwood and the Bulldogs. There's no need

159
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: to tip his hand yet because the free agency period

160
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: doesn't start till after the Grand Final.

161
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Undignified.

162
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: I understand the boys they're doing the door stopping, have

163
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: to do their job, but I wish there's a better

164
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: way to do that and jam and microphones in his face.

165
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: Charlie Kerna, I understand, I get it, but I'd like

166
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: to see move better than that.

167
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Where he ends up, well, it'll.

168
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: Be interesting one of two, you, suspect Raably, we might

169
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: talk to one of their coaches about that.

170
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: They're both good landing zones for him. They both have needs,

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: both needed Phil's, doesn't he.

172
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not the big key that probably know the

173
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: Western Bulldogs need, but he's a great support act.

174
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: All right.

175
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: Let's get get into our agenda, and it does belong

176
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: to the past three Premiership coaches, those who have done it,

177
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: those who know how to do it. We start with

178
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: Craig McCrae, who's Magpies have lived both journeys in the

179
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: same season, runaway leaders.

180
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: And holding on the skin of their teeth. Don't you

181
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: want to be them? The top of the parts talking when.

182
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: The teeth of beat hed twenty twenty five O one

183
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 6: pint When to the pies, you just can't beat him

184
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 6: in close finishes, you just can't beat them.

185
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: History says it's hard to lead Bay out of wire,

186
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: so you're not quite gonna go wide?

187
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: Or which is it? The other year?

188
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 5: I keep hearing that we're paying too well. Apparently I can't.

189
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 5: I can't. I can't have that. I said, what do

190
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 5: you want us to play worse? No, No, I just

191
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 5: don't get it. We're just we're in the positions getting better.

192
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: That's what we try to do. We want to we

193
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: want to improve ourselves. We got to please source today,

194
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 5: we got to heap improvements. Left to this.

195
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 6: Colirod has done nothing less than sell them States Premiership.

196
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: Missing sixteen wins and a good percentage. I'm sure anyone

197
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 5: in this room would be pretty happy with that. At

198
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: start of the year. It's a crazy year when sixteen

199
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: sort of you're not sure we're going to land. Yeah,

200
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: we we celebrated that to stuff with our whole group

201
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 5: and how we put ourselves.

202
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: We got a posset in were a life.

203
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: Top four finished and a trip back to Adelaide having

204
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: just done that a couple of weeks ago. The Collingwood

205
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: coach Craig McCrae is with us in the studio. Craig

206
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: always great to have sixty welcome.

207
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: Go to see Jared.

208
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: I was driving home on Friday night, listening on the radio,

209
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: got home for the last quarter, thinking did you get

210
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 2: to it?

211
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Did you get to the last quarter of Port Adelaide?

212
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 5: I stayed around in the rooms funny enough, and I

213
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 5: left my press conference and went straight into the little

214
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 5: coaches room there and we had a gathering of people there.

215
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 5: And I've never ride it. I've never cheered for Port,

216
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: but I didn't. I did that night. Yeah, I was.

217
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: I was riding every bump yep.

218
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Does that feel having under premiership and then missed the

219
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: final series altogether? And mean, it's the feeling that you

220
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: have now, not a greater appreciation because everyone knows how

221
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 3: important it is, but nice to be back in.

222
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, And you set yourself a long time ago.

223
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 5: You know, we've had a long time to think about

224
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 5: this campaign and you have a lot of hard work

225
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: going into it, and I was really excited after the

226
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: game one that get a selves moving and it gets

227
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: Melbour played extremely well and to get over the line

228
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 5: with some energy of wanting to win. And then yeah,

229
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: just to know that we're in the finals potentially top

230
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 5: four was it was really exciting.

231
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, two years ago you used this week especially well.

232
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: It became the starting off point for the club's documentary.

233
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: So does that have you been thinking about this week?

234
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: How to frame it, what you're about to do, given

235
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: what you've been through before.

236
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: I haven't slept dured. There's been many little things trying

237
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: to get this right up. We've got to gathering at

238
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: the MCG tomorrow afternoon, and yeah, we said a new

239
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 5: new thing because it's a new season, and we realized that,

240
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 5: like back from qualifying days, you've got to get yourself

241
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 5: in a position to be here. We are here now

242
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: and we'd like to think we've got as good a

243
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: chance as anyone and we want to reset our focus.

244
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: Is this a team that can gather in that sort

245
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: of way.

246
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, you know, we've got accused of having the

247
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: most experienced and you know, the oldest list in the competition.

248
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 5: This is when you want it, and so we like

249
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 5: to think there's a lot of reasons why we can

250
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: go deep.

251
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: It's an interesting that in itself is interesting, isn't it,

252
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: because the narrative was really strong pre game pre season.

253
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Rather you lose that first guard and the ridiculous knee jeck,

254
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: we get all that, but there's is attrition, you know

255
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: it as well as anyone. And then the back half's

256
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: been you know, it's been hard work. You've got there

257
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: is Do you put that down to that in.

258
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 5: Any way shape or well, there's no doubt. You know,

259
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: we had a period where we played three games twelve

260
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 5: days and we looked at ourselves in the mirrors and

261
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 5: I don't think we managed that that well. You know,

262
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: without disrespecting Hawthorn and norms, it gets it that night.

263
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: So there's always little things you gathering along the way.

264
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: Jared Wade in a high performance team done really really

265
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 5: good job. We're in good shape, like our numbers say

266
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: that around GPS and the health of the list is

267
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 5: pretty good.

268
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 3: So when we look at those numbers. What struck me

269
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 3: about all this? As you were losing games and you've

270
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: got a bit of a whack there from the Hawks.

271
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: But when you go back and look at your defensive numbers,

272
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: your defensive stuff about really well.

273
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: Throughout all that.

274
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, we've won one of our last one and

275
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: role No, we look at the things that matter for us,

276
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: and there's some stuff in that that we looked at

277
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: wasn't good enough. But a lot of close losses to

278
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 5: good teams and a couple of those away, and you know,

279
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: the freo form stacks up for now. We played really

280
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 5: well against them, but we're the best defense in the

281
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 5: comp over twenty four rounds. Those numbers don't lie.

282
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: So back to Adelaide, we expect to Matthew Nix about

283
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: this last night, given all the transpired, do you expect

284
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: there to be any residual Do you expect to be

285
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: walking into an even more hostile as possible.

286
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I don't know. I think you balance

287
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 5: it all up, and you realize that there was a

288
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: record crowd that ever been at Oval, a great, great

289
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: combative game, and we thought we've probably learned good lessons

290
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 5: from that night, and I'm sure they have too, so

291
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: it'll be interesting how that plays out. Lets us learned

292
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: against each other, Yeah, I don't know. I'd like to

293
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: think not let the game be the game and embrace

294
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 5: the contest.

295
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 2: For what is and what do you have against that

296
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: is it's an environment in which you have thrived, and

297
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: it's a team against whom you have thrived, and the

298
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: last result I would say is inconclusive and demanded up

299
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: and rematched.

300
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's like you'd like to think that. You know,

301
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: the numbers of the night were unrealistic, seventy one inside

302
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 5: fifties or whatever. That I wouldn't be banking on that game,

303
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 5: and we've always had a close game, so I wouldn't

304
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 5: have thought there's a huge advantage either way. But we're

305
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: going over. We understand we're going over to the team

306
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: that finished top. You know, they've won twelve games in

307
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: a row or something like that. So this we know

308
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 5: what we're in for. We're gonna have to play it

309
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: absolutely best to be in an opposition that you clearly

310
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 5: on top of the ladder for a reason.

311
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: That's the feedback we spoke to an easy last night,

312
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 3: and when we walked away from that game, as COMMENTATORD,

313
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: you go, wow, I haven't seen one like that before,

314
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: with the look of it and the numbers.

315
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: What's it going to look like again?

316
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the condition sort of made it difficult to

317
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 5: move the ball. Both teams were prepared to have spares.

318
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not sure that they want to do

319
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: that again. If we want to do that again, we'll

320
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: wait and see. But there's a there's a real good

321
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: balance of the contest. You look at across every line,

322
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: there's like, oh, that's a good matchup. Well, that's a

323
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: that's going to be a challenging part of the game.

324
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 5: There's just something about these two teams that really really

325
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: challenged each other at their best.

326
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: The medical work has been done, it doesn't seem great

327
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: for Jeremy Howe.

328
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: What have you been told?

329
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: Well, he defies logic in his own mind. At least

330
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: he said to me today. He's a good healer, as

331
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: he did once before, and he's going to run to morrow.

332
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: And he's apparently, without knowing all the details of this

333
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 5: type of injury, that that's probably the best result for

334
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: him to have a bit more of a serious tear

335
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: to the adductor and then a I was him to

336
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 5: now just heal the scard too. So we've got hope.

337
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 5: Three to four is probably optimistic, but we'll wait.

338
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Se So three to four doesn't have him playing, does it.

339
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: Well, we've still got a week before we play again,

340
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: so we'll wait and see again. His words out of

341
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: his mouth today is keep the faith and we'll to

342
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 5: see how it transpires.

343
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: So you lose one, but you've gained de Gooie who.

344
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: There was just this familiar look about it on Friday night.

345
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and I was pleasing, and I said, post came,

346
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: I didn't probably expect that. I probably didn't think that

347
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 5: was going to be the case based on what I've

348
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: been seeing and the time out of the game that

349
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 5: he had. But his powers back when he first was

350
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: going to play his VFL game, he trained like this, right,

351
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: I thought, And everyone's just going, wow, we have a

352
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: bit of the match play and he's burst out of

353
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: stop with his breaking tackles and kicking long goals like that.

354
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 5: That's that's trademark. Jordian going to be a new dad.

355
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: He's really happy in himself and smile and which is

356
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 5: what we want from all our places.

357
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: You brought him when he came back.

358
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if he started him in the center square,

359
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: but he certainly was in there early so as no protecting,

360
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: this is him and yeah, what he can do.

361
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: Probably the early early I think first came back after VFL.

362
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: We were a bit temperamental about putting him in for

363
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 5: the long journey of it, and we're sort of managing

364
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 5: time around that. He's become more of a mid in

365
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks, you know, it's just basically

366
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: mid and less forward. Early days is a bit more

367
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: forward mid, so that might be his pass from here

368
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 5: on him.

369
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: How did it brought him my check go with the

370
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: wrist scan.

371
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 5: Well, I don't like going to medical meetings early in

372
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: the weeks because they tend to be not so not

373
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: so glowing. But my reports are that most of our

374
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: pliers will be fit and available to play. So we

375
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: just have to wait how that works out. And I'd

376
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 5: be surprised if most teams are now Bruce and Batten

377
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 5: in some capacity. Some play with a little bit more

378
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: this time of the year.

379
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: This far into the Scott Pendlebury journey. Did he did

380
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: he learn a new trick in the last quarter on

381
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: Friday night?

382
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I don't want to give too much away

383
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: over around tactically tactically, but I just amazed that at

384
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: his influence on our team still, you know, like he's

385
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 5: than twenty three games I think on record, and I

386
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: was just chatting to someone today maybe the other coaches

387
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 5: just arguably he's played better this year than last and

388
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 5: it's just the way he can find the space to

389
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: like he's taking kickings and taking on Yeah is this

390
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 5: the one he yah? Yeah, he's taken on picking.

391
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: Just do this himself, like yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, just himself.

392
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, just take him on. Look, I don't know if

393
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: I would have done it my first year. Yeah, because

394
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 5: he pick it like it and then all of a

395
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 5: sudden changes the game and now he's remarkable and and

396
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 5: just continues to just turn up for us. And again

397
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 5: we go in the finals time. I think everyone would

398
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 5: be craving to have a Scott Pedel win the team

399
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 5: right now, wouldn't they? Oh god?

400
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well it's how about you as a coach going

401
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: back in this time round? So you've Premiership, sat back

402
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 3: and watched it all last last year and now here

403
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: you are again.

404
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Are you better prepared? Do you think? The coach? Yeah, yeah,

405
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: it's a good question.

406
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I'll have a chat in a month's time,

407
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 5: but I feel there's nothing that's going to come across

408
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: our path that we haven't sort of experienced before. Then

409
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 5: that's that's exciting itself. I think within time and in

410
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 5: the fifties, now you realize how close you are. Now

411
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: that's why I just know it's a whole new ballgame,

412
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 5: and you don't have to have style points. You know

413
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: you're not coming for a percentage now and it's going

414
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: to beat the opposition in front of you. And then

415
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 5: if you don't do that, lucky enough, callifying forth another

416
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 5: chance to do it, and then you're in a pre

417
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: limit and anything matters and anything goes. I mean, so

418
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 5: I'd like to think of a better place experience wise.

419
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 5: But yes, yes, here we go doing a good company.

420
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: That group there.

421
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: You spoke to us straight away on Friday night and

422
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: you're big on the reset. You seld that message hard.

423
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: This is a brand new season, so you don't have

424
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: to give much away. But the MCG tomorrow. How significant

425
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: is that in all of that?

426
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'd like to think it's Oh, significant

427
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 5: is an interesting word, but it will redirect our focus.

428
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 5: And I like, I'm a bit of connector, so I'd

429
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 5: like to connect people and will do an exercise. We

430
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: will do that and then we'll have dinner together and

431
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 5: then and here's about ninety people coming along with staff

432
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: and players, and that's.

433
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Just an internal club thing.

434
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm it's not going to be anything that he's

435
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 5: going to go, oh, that's going to change my world.

436
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: But did you like to think it redirects our focus

437
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 5: for the next period and then put out all ends

438
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 5: into that He've.

439
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: Got three in all Australian reckoning, both Dycus Boys and

440
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: Jamie Elliott two for a period of time just he

441
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: was absolutely exceptional.

442
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: Well what would it mean to him if he even got.

443
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 5: The Nord this year? In particular Jamie Bean in the

444
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: leadership group. He's grown so much. He's gone to another

445
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 5: level with his footy, but I don't think he's gone

446
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 5: another level as a person. Inside our environments, which are

447
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 5: we're really wrapped with his growth and it mean a

448
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: lot to him and us, you know, we want to

449
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 5: be the environment he creates that and we love their

450
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: players being celebrated. There's three Darcy Camra would be pretty stiff.

451
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 5: I would have thought taking that many marks. Yeah, we'd

452
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 5: like to think that we will celebrate these guys at

453
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 5: some stage, maybe tomorrow it could be a good time, opportunity,

454
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 5: time to do.

455
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: That and without thre for you too far from the

456
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: here and now. Jack Sylvani has told Carlton he's a

457
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: free agent. He's going to use that. You're clearly in

458
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: the mix there are you. Hopefully he's going to choose you.

459
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

460
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, we had a date and he has it

461
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 5: called and so and he's got a call from dating

462
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 5: someone else. I hear so had a second No, I

463
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 5: don't do second dates, and in this place, I leave

464
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 5: it up to others. But apparently the Bulldogs have meeting

465
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 5: with him too, so I don't know where it lands.

466
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 5: But yeah, we like to we like to continue to grow.

467
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 5: As I've always said, the makeap Club a destination club

468
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: for guys like him to come. So we'll wait and

469
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 5: see on that one.

470
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: There's another really significant figure in this town who you've

471
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: had a link within, Craig Bellamy, who's about to coach

472
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: his six hundredth game with Melbourne Storm.

473
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 5: I just wondered, what's unbelievable. I was asked to do

474
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 5: a little short message to him last week. Six hundred

475
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: games and just the continuous nature of being the top four,

476
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 5: top two, and yeah, it is. It is remarkable and

477
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: that club, that culture. I've spent a small part of

478
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: my life there, was lucky enough to see some of

479
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: the things in the sanctum and trying to get those

480
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: things to Collingwood, around family and other parts. But I

481
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: wish the storm all the best and grace. He is

482
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 5: one of the best of all time.

483
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: What is one quality?

484
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 3: For those that haven't been up close with him, we

485
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: all sit back in all, what is one quality?

486
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 5: That consistency? I think he's just completely consistent and he

487
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 5: drives those standards. Yeah, I think I think he's changed

488
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 5: a fair bit, Like I see little bits of him

489
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 5: change like that. The players are more engaged with him now.

490
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 5: All he's a lot different than what he was maybe

491
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 5: ten years ago. I think he would be the first

492
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: to admit that. But incredible driver of culture and what

493
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 5: a great role.
