I hope 50 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: he goes and gets another one, so next to you 51 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: you can whack another one on the dog. 52 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put a bathroom, all right, this is what 53 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: we've got lined up. We've lived the journey of this 54 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: season with Chris Fagan from the eye of the storm. 55 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: He joined us when the game had been postponed for 56 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: the cyclone, right at the start of the season, and 57 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: all the way through. He's standing by for us in 58 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Brisbane now and then don't miss on the couch. So 59 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: I can't quite work out whether Jonathan brown won or 60 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: lost this bet, but Kyle Lowman style, he's losing his locks. 61 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: That's right. So Kyle Loman had the lines carved in 62 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: the side of his melon, and Brownie said, I'll get 63 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 2: a couple of them if you win. I don't think 64 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: you filt it through that long. 65 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would watch the start of the Couch. 66 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: I'll watch all of couch them, especially watch the start 67 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: all right. The final time this year the votes are 68 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: being cast. The GVP is the most Valuable Player from 69 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: the weekend of footy. We know that the Mustang was 70 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: won by Patrick Dangerfield, valued at ninety three thousand dollars, 71 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: but we have a leader boards to formalize and finish off. 72 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: With the biggest interesting this is Norm Smith territory. So 73 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: from where I sat, I gave dane Zuko a vote. 74 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: I thought he was the one that halfway through that 75 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: second quarter just kick started them and got the Brisbane 76 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: style of game back going again. And what a player is, 77 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: what a player Dane Zuko is look at this sort 78 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: of stuff. 79 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: His use by foot has. 80 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 6: Been one of the highlights. This is one of the moments. 81 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: Of the match, of course, but he just started picking 82 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: the eyes out of it. 83 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: And when he started picking. 84 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: The eyes out of it, you thought, hmm, that's kind 85 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: of more like what we expect from this Brisbane So 86 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: we certainly didn't see it in the qualifying final, and 87 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: I thought his role in all of that was really, 88 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: really significant, so I gave him one vote. I gave 89 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: two to the man that won the Norm Smith medal. 90 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: It was a really open thing. You could have gone 91 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: a number of different ways. But I will talk about 92 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Willashkoff later. I'm an anabash fan. What he's doing is extraordinary. 93 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: Gered three Norm Smith medals to Dustin Martin Premierships. So 94 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: I remember saying at the time, we will never ever 95 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: ever see that again in our lifetime. 96 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: He's twenty one. 97 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: This kid, he's got two and he hadn't even approached 98 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: what's his best football? He's fine, he's won of the 99 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: Garieers Medal and now for the best player in the 100 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: final series, he's got too, Norm Smith and he was outstanding. 101 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: And I thought Aris Andrews was just I just wanted 102 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: to interrupt on will Ashcroft for it. So they did 103 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: know how to celebrate like winners, didn't they. Danz Orco 104 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: hijack the goal and calam Archie celebrated her behind with 105 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: the crowd and just this little moment of acknowledge it. 106 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: So you're in chief caught your intention. 107 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: Yep, it's a couple of old bogs calling this game. Yeah, 108 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: it wasn't something the Chief would have done during his 109 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: full premierships, but this is a sign of the times. 110 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: And that was about a minute forty to goo. 111 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 6: No one would have begrudged. 112 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 2: You know, they have proven to be a very humble 113 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: team over a long period of time, so I don't 114 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: have an issue with that at all. 115 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: Sorry I interrupted you. Three votes. 116 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: Harris Andrews got three for me, so this will be 117 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: a talking point for the Cats. He's dominated Brisbane the 118 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: last three times they've played them. I've watched and done 119 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: all their games and he's been the man standing in 120 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: the back half and the first quarter. We'll talk about 121 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: with Fags in a minute. It was a bit of 122 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: an arm wrestled defenses on top and then when he 123 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: started the interest mark, then you thought, ah again, Bitlozko, 124 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: that's what it looks like when Brisbane are out there, 125 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: imperious best. And then he had a couple of willing 126 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: sidekicks in Leicester and Gardner and Stasovich, not big, big names, 127 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: but he's proven to be just one of the great 128 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: leaders house ands. I loved reading about his influence on 129 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: this side throughout the week, and he got himself up 130 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: into it. 131 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 6: Eight. 132 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I did the auditing this afternoon. 133 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 6: I did. 134 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 8: So. 135 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: You gave him two votes in round three against Geelong. 136 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: Now remember these aren't votes for a single game, these 137 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: are votes for the whole round. So against Geelong in 138 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: round three you got two votes. Against Geelong in round 139 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: fifteen he got one vote this and then he got 140 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: two in the preliminary final and three in the Grand finals. 141 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: So six of his eight votes. When he's three games again, now, that. 142 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: Does not surprise me. And they weren't able to come 143 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: up with a plan for him. That's as simple as that, 144 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: all right. 145 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: So that's how the GVP's finished. The agenda on this 146 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: night always belongs to the premier and a worthy champion. 147 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: They are the. 148 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: Brisbane line stared down all manner of adversity across the 149 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: course of the season, and when it had to be won, 150 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: they were ferocious and fearless and they celebrated in all 151 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: its glory. 152 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 6: We've come. 153 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: It's all fallen in the place magnificently. 154 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 6: Do that. 155 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 8: One of the things I tried to teach the boys 156 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 8: about when I first got to the club was it 157 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 8: the concept of having a gross mindset and the fact 158 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 8: that if you want to be any good, you're going 159 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 8: to fail for. 160 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 6: A bit until you get there. 161 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 8: I always talked about the idea of failing, failing it 162 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 8: away to the top. 163 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 6: We come. 164 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: This is the most basic and fundamental reason for playing AFL, 165 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 4: to create the opportunity to find yourself.

It gets thrown around 294 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: and passed around and everyone gets their time with it. 295 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: Has it got any war wounds on it after a 296 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: day or two. 297 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, it has, Garry. 298 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 8: I bought it Arnt the night nurse to look at it, 299 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 8: and she said there's a dent in that cup, and 300 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 8: I had a bit of a look and. 301 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 6: Sure enough there is. 302 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 8: So might I forget a little few repairs done at 303 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 8: some point in time, or maybe just leave it there, 304 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 8: you know, as a part of history. 305 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: One of the great qualities from the players in the 306 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: aftermath and the hot blooded hours straight afterwards is a 307 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: lot of them thought this was better the second time 308 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: than the first for the journey that had been undertaken, 309 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: whether it was the reward, whether it was their own 310 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: personal challenge, whether it was the collective. Was it different 311 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: for you the second time to the first. 312 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I enjoyed it more because I just 313 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 8: think winging two in a row is very, very hard 314 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 8: to do. I mean, not that many teams have done 315 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 8: it in history. I was lucky enough to be at 316 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 8: Hawthorne when they went through in a row, but you know, 317 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 8: it was just extraordinary to think that we're able to 318 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 8: get there. There were many times this year where it 319 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 8: felt like that wasn't going to be the case, whether 320 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 8: it be via injury or the fact that in our 321 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 8: draw was incredibly hard. So I just feel like we've 322 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 8: had to go through a fair bit more this year 323 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 8: than last year, believe it or not, to win the flag. 324 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 8: And you know, a lot of our victories this year, 325 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 8: who have been against the teams that have been in 326 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 8: the top eight, they had to be because that's who we. 327 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 6: Played most of the time. 328 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 8: And so from that perspective, I think, yeah, I think 329 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 8: it's better than last year. There's a lot of satisfaction 330 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 8: around it. And last time last night we had a 331 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 8: bit of a function for the football department and all 332 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 8: the players at a pub in Brisbane and the replay 333 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 8: of the game come up and we sat there and 334 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 8: watched the whole game together and it was one of 335 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 8: the most fun things I've ever done in my football life. 336 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 8: To sit there with those players are cheering and carrying 337 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 8: on and stirring each other up. 338 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 6: It was absolutely brilliant, magnificent. 339 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: Hey, we'll go through some of the key moments in 340 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: the game. We've got a bit time to work through 341 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: a few issues, so I'm wondering what you're thinking at 342 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: quarter time it was a game dominated by defense. Sat 343 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: look at it, Cameron Dangerfield, Neil Stengel close in myes, 344 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: that's scored a single point between the six of them. 345 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: But you guys had struggled a little bit four to 346 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: the ball as well. But you had kick one goal 347 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: for from stoppage and Zach Barley had kicked four behind. 348 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: What was your take at quarter of time when you 349 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: got out into the huddle. 350 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 8: I thought we'd done a lot right in the first quarter, 351 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 8: particularly compared to how we were in the in the 352 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 8: qualifying final where Geelong got the jump on us. 353 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 6: So I was happy to be in the game. 354 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 8: I just felt like we probably left a few opportunities 355 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 8: out there. We missed some shots that we possibly should 356 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 8: have taken, so you always worry a little bit about that, 357 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 8: but I didn't didn't talk too much about it. I 358 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 8: just talked on the positives and pretty happy where contested ball, 359 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 8: was pretty happy with our pressure. Just sort of the 360 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 8: message was keep it going. 361 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: So the board movement style of footy that you play 362 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: is so critical, you left your defensive fifty. I don't 363 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: get too much into the words here at thirteen times 364 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: early in that second quarter without getting it inside fifty 365 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: once and you just thought, oh, hang on, it's got 366 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of a look about that Geelong game. 367 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, Zorka gets involved in 368 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: the end. In that second quarter, he has seven kicks, 369 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: one hundred percent, one hundred and ninety nine meters gained. 370 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: I thought he was really pivotal in reminding you, look, 371 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: this is what our best looks like and I'll take 372 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: it on. And from that moment on I thought it 373 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: was very much a Brisbane style of game. 374 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with that, Gary. Our ball movement improved 375 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 8: as the game went on. I think I think that's 376 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 8: a little bit to do with the you know, the 377 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 8: pressure comes off a little bit too, and maybe you know, 378 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 8: Geelong went able to defend the ground as well as 379 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 8: I did at the beginning. 380 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 6: I felt like too. 381 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 8: One of the things we did talk about a quart 382 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 8: of time was if they're going to take away the 383 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 8: car at all, and let's let's get let's go around 384 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 8: the boundaries. It doesn't matter, we'll just take whatever they 385 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 8: give us, but we need to keep the ball in motion. 386 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 8: I thought we did that at a little bit better. 387 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 8: And as you say, ZORX is really important and all that. 388 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 8: He now he's a risk taker, and every now and 389 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 8: then he lets rip with a big clanger. But basically, 390 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 8: when you get to the point in the Grand Final, 391 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 8: you just got to take the game on. 392 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 6: You can't. 393 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 8: You can't just sit back and let the other team, 394 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 8: you know, dominate you defensively. 395 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 6: You've just got to take a few risks. 396 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 8: And he set the example with that he did, and 397 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 8: then if the scriptwriters had their way, this is what 398 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 8: would have happened. 399 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 6: After halftime. 400 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: Harris Andrews starts to dominate it half back and then 401 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: he starts taking intercept marks that will you activate Locky 402 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: Neil with you hold your breath, and he just spends 403 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 2: five minutes running around a bit like a chuck with 404 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: a head cut off. And then by the end of 405 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: the quarter he looked absolutely Locky Neil at his best. 406 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: Charlie starts kicking goals, McCluggage burns off, Marlin Bayley starts 407 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 2: to kick straight and I thought Darcy fought just chugging along. 408 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: So all those things. 409 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: The scriptwriter's going, yep, tick tick tick, everything's going beautifully. 410 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: By that stage, had a nice feeling at three quarter time, 411 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 2: nineteen points up. 412 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, although you never feel that comfortable with a nineteen 413 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 8: point lead. That can be chewed up pretty quickly in 414 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 8: modern AFL football. But the signs were definitely good. You know, 415 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 8: I thought Locky coming on, and you're right, he did 416 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 8: look like he. 417 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 6: Hadn't played for a while to start with, but he 418 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 6: got going. 419 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 8: He gave us a real lot of energy around the ball, 420 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 8: and then when he kicked that goal just on three 421 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 8: quarter time, that that really I think licked the team up. 422 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 8: And yeah, everything did start moving pretty well. Charlie always 423 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 8: brings a lot of energy when he gets into the game, 424 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 8: and that's what he. 425 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 6: Was able to do. And I just, yeah, I did. 426 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 8: I felt good coming into three quarter time. I thought 427 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 8: were starting to get a little bit of a reward 428 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 8: for our effort. But you know, just reminded the players 429 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 8: at three quarter time we just got to keep going 430 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 8: with our hunt, which really picked up around the stoppage 431 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 8: in that in that third quarter, I think we're about 432 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 8: equal clearances at halftime, we might have been one in front, 433 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 8: and that really lifted in the in the third quarter, 434 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 8: which is important to us. And you know, a game 435 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 8: looked really intact, so it was a matter of you know, 436 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 8: getting out there, just talked about the idea scoreboard back 437 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 8: to zero. Let's let's knuckle down and do that again. 438 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 8: And fortunately the players were able to do that. 439 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: So when you're watching it last night, at the part 440 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: of your settle not a favorite moment, is there something 441 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: that made your chuckle or smile just a little bit 442 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,239 Speaker 1: more than any other bit. 443 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 8: I think when Lucky kicked that goal just on three 444 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 8: quarter time was probably the big moment in the game. 445 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 8: It just gave us a good gap between between us 446 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 8: and Geelong on the scoreboard, and so that was particularly 447 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 8: a big moment. And then it was just I guess 448 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 8: the other moment was just how quickly we were able 449 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 8: to kick goals that in that last quarter and the 450 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 8: game was all over very quickly. 451 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 6: I didn't expect that. 452 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 8: I thought it would be a real arm wrestle and 453 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 8: that perhaps Jean Geelong could fight their way back into 454 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 8: it because it had been a pretty close game all day. 455 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 8: But our players just found another gear, found a lot 456 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 8: of energy, which I was really pleased with because I 457 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 8: was a little bit worried coming into this game that 458 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 8: three hard finals was going to tell on us at 459 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 8: some point in time, but that didn't appear to be 460 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 8: the case. Our fitness people obviously have done a great job. 461 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 8: We recovered well from the week before, so you know 462 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 8: that last quarter, fortunately enough for us, ended up being 463 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 8: some sort of a celebration. 464 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 6: I do remember that strange walk that Kyle Lahman. 465 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 8: Did he kicked the goal, which sort of brought a 466 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 8: little bit of laughter the place, doing repeats of that 467 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 8: today at the Monday for anybody that wanted to watch him. 468 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 8: So but that was a bit of fun. I sometimes 469 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 8: celebrations can appear to be a little bit arrogant, but 470 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 8: I hopefully it wasn't taken that way. 471 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 6: It was just our boys enjoying the fact that the 472 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 6: game was going their way. 473 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: For the rest of your days. In Grand Final week, 474 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: you were, and lucky nearly going to be asked about 475 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: this because every year there is an injury and there's 476 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: a players what to do? What's the moral of the 477 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: tail fas as you as you learned it across a 478 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: week and in a couple of days afterwards. 479 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 8: You made in regards to playing lockeye yep, yeah, okay, 480 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 8: so well for starters, our medical people had cleared him 481 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 8: to play. He'd completed three pretty grueling training sessions in 482 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 8: the lead up to the Grand Final, and so there 483 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 8: was no doubt in our mind he was fit to play. 484 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 8: The question was for us to answer, is he's only 485 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 8: played one game in eight weeks and did he have 486 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 8: the fitness to run out a full game or would 487 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 8: it be better to hold him back and introduce him 488 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 8: into the game at a point in time in which. 489 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 6: We thought he could give us a bit of an advantage, 490 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 6: and we chose the latter. 491 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 8: I felt that if he started and ran out of 492 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 8: gas that that might be a bit a bit of 493 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 8: a spirit killer for the boys. But I thought if 494 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 8: he could come on around about halftime and do what 495 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 8: he did, that it would be an enormous. 496 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 6: Spirit lifter for us. 497 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 8: And I know it was a bit of a punt, 498 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 8: but as it worked out, it feels like it was 499 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 8: the right decision to make it. 500 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 6: It could easily have gone the wrong way, but. 501 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 8: What he did in that second half, the ability to 502 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 8: win seven clearances, have seventeen possessions, have a couple of 503 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 8: direct goal assists, it was just enormous for us and 504 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 8: it gave us the energy boost that we needed in 505 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 8: the second half. 506 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: Well again I talk about scriptwriters. It was just a 507 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: spectacular success. I mean we debated it before the game, 508 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 2: as everyone in the footy Will did. I thought it 509 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: was a too big a risk, but it couldn't have 510 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: worked out any better. Actually, what made you smile? I 511 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: reckon the fact that Will Ascroft, in his fifty eighth game, 512 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: has won his second Norm Smith Medal. He's won the 513 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: Garriers Medal for being the best Finals player. 514 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 6: Jared and I were talking about Dusty. 515 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: He said Dusty won his norm Smith medals in his eighth, tenth, tenth, 516 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: and eleventh year. He's won of his norm Smith medals 517 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: in his second and third. I think he still gets 518 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: un he won't anymore. But the fact that, and I'm 519 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: a bit with this league with LEVI. They're so professional, 520 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: they come in like ready made players. You forget how 521 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: young they are. He's twenty one years of age, he's 522 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: played fifty eight games of footy, is now at legendary 523 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: Finals player. 524 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 6: He is. 525 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 8: He steps up in the big moments, and he does 526 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 8: throughout the home and away series too. I think when 527 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 8: the big games are on it tends to bring out 528 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 8: the best in him. 529 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 6: And I think he's still got more. 530 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 8: Gears to go to be to be honest, you know, 531 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 8: at his age and at his experience, I think he's 532 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 8: going to learn to impose himself on games more and 533 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 8: more and more. We've seen that growth in in this year. 534 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 8: He tended probably just to drift around a little bit 535 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 8: in his first couple of years and not play with 536 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 8: great intensity, but now he really explodes and wins the 537 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 8: ball and explodes away from contests and creates great scoring 538 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 8: opportunities for us. So, you know, provided he doesn't get 539 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 8: injured at any in any way, shape or form, going forward, 540 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 8: I think we're going to see him even better performances 541 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 8: from from Will and in terms of LEVI, I think 542 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 8: his season has been a little bit underrated. I mean, 543 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 8: it's pretty hard for a young eighteen year old to 544 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 8: come in and break in to the to the premiership 545 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 8: team from the year before, and he's played every single game. 546 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 8: He had some great moments on the weekend. I think 547 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 8: he will continue to improve. 548 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 6: As a player. 549 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 8: He's a little bit bit like Will probably sometimes he's 550 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 8: just a little bit cruisy in the way that he 551 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 8: gets around the field. But I think that intensity will 552 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 8: come with experience, and you know, very. 553 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 6: Fortunate to have both those boys at our club. 554 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's just looking at some of the leg 555 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: guys numbers. I think the really significant in an era 556 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: where we talk about these first year players, we've got 557 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: to nurse them through and you know, as. 558 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: Don't ask too much of the magic. 559 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 2: Say he's broken into a premiership team, played every single 560 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: game and then these numbers you're talking about some pretty 561 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 2: fair Brisbane players over the journey here, so fifth most 562 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: by a player disposials, third most by any player under 563 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: nine one years and from a clearance point of view, 564 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: the seventh best by a Brisbane pay after twenty seven games. 565 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 6: You don't need to talk more about him. 566 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: I think the footy world will realize that he's still 567 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: eighteen years of ages. 568 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: Kid, he's just. 569 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: Had one of the years, the best years for a 570 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 2: first year player that you can imagine. 571 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: It occurs to me, we should get Marcus Ashcroft and 572 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: Peter Deacos to actually run the industry wide footy academy 573 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: and we should send out them where you were going. 574 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: We should send our kids there for daycare, actually get 575 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: them taught out to play figs. Just indulgeous, just for 576 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: a few minutes on a personal front. So your place 577 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: in history. You're already the oldest premiership coach. You were 578 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: the first one in more than half a century to 579 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: have done it without playing at the elite level. That magnifies. 580 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: Now having done it twice, what does that mean to 581 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: you in a way, and not just for you, but 582 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: on behalf of those who didn't play the game at 583 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: the elite level. 584 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 6: Yeah. 585 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 8: So, first of all, I think I've been pretty fortunate 586 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 8: in my football background to have some great coaches, both 587 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 8: in Tazzy and working with Neil and Clarko. So I 588 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 8: learned a lot from those guys. So I was probably 589 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 8: no rookie when I came to the opportunity to coach 590 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 8: the Brisbane lines. All my past experiences have helped me enormously, 591 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 8: so I'm very grateful for that. But I think in 592 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 8: terms of I hope that it gives others have walked 593 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 8: in my shoes the idea that maybe it is possible 594 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 8: to coach an AFL team if you do a good 595 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 8: enough apprenticeship. I mean, it took me a long time. 596 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 8: I worked at AFL level for nineteen years before I 597 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 8: did get the opportunity. I was very fortunate to get it, 598 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 8: but I do hope that it does give other people 599 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 8: who working in the industry the idea that, you know, 600 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 8: if they work hard enough and take their opportunities when 601 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 8: they come along, that they they may well be able 602 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 8: to do the same thing. 603 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: Dan's orco referenced it in the postgame is does it 604 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: bury any insecurities to flags fas? 605 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 606 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 8: Look, if I was probably being totally honest Jared, there 607 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 8: were times when I've in my even up until last 608 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 8: year when we won the flag, I felt like maybe 609 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 8: I had a little bit of imposter syndrome. Was I 610 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 8: good enough to help this team win a premiership? All 611 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 8: of those things, They all all those thoughts go through 612 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 8: your head. I think they're natural enough. So winning one 613 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 8: was gave me a fair bit of confidence. And I 614 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 8: guess now that we've been able to do it again, 615 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 8: you know, I feel I feel like maybe now that 616 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 8: I maybe I do belong in the in the coaching ranks. 617 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 8: So hopefully I've got a few more years left in me. 618 00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 6: See how we go. 619 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: I reckon if we look through your phone and there'll 620 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: be enough messages to suggest that you're very much comfortable 621 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: where you're at. 622 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: Neil Danaher you mentioned. 623 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 2: Him, you referenced him nineteen ninety eight Cameron twelve got 624 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: you to the Melbourne Footy Club as a footy manager. 625 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: And the influencer Neil has had on you is well 626 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: known within closer circles, but I'd imagine the messages that 627 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 2: have come through in recent times the ones from him 628 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 2: would mean the most given how much of an influence 629 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: he's had on you. You won the Neil down in 630 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: Her Lifetime Achievement Award this year, as well as the 631 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 2: Coaches Association Player of the Year. These are really special 632 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 2: moments I would imagine for you. 633 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, they are. 634 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 8: I got a surprisingly got a magnificent text message from 635 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 8: Neil today which I won't go into, but it did 636 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 8: mean a lot to me, and it probably referenced a 637 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 8: little bit that idea that maybe I didn't feel like 638 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 8: I belong but hopefully I do now. But you know, 639 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 8: I just know that I got this opportunity because he 640 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 8: had the courage to give a no name from Tasmania 641 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 8: that opportunity. And I can remember and you were there 642 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 8: Gary when. 643 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 6: I first turned up. I looked at you, blokes, and 644 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 6: you probably look at me, go do there? Hell is 645 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 6: this block? You know, but he had the courage to 646 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 6: He had the courage to give me a job and 647 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 6: he backed me in all the way through. Like you 648 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 6: know what. 649 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 8: I coached the reserves the first couple of years and 650 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 8: I thought, I think we joined up with Sandray M 651 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 8: and I thought, I'm going to have to be the 652 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 8: Sandri M coach now and he said, no, you're going 653 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 8: to be an assistant coach. And then when Danny Corkan left, 654 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 8: he came to my office and said, I want you 655 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 8: to be the footing manager and sort of I got 656 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 8: this wonderful development at the Melbourne Footy Club off the 657 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 8: back of Neil having a lot of faith in me. 658 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 8: And you know, all those experiences helped me be able 659 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 8: to do what I was able to do at Hawthorne 660 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 8: with Clarko and then obviously hearing out the Brisbane lines. 661 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 8: But it was a tremendously courageous decision by Neil and 662 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 8: I'll never be able to thank him enough for it. 663 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: Christmas, bragging rights are going to be harder at your table. 664 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: As Grant's got the flag with Clarence and the Fagan medal, 665 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: you will bring two John McHale medals to the table 666 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: mum was there for Grant. So this is the family 667 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: businesses coaching. Just remind me, did your dad did Austin 668 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: coach as well? 669 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 8: Yeah? So dad was a coach on the west coast 670 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 8: of Tasmania. He coached, He coached Gormston, the team around there. 671 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 6: They were the mountain Men, as they were called. 672 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 8: I spent a lot of my youth going to training 673 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 8: with Dad and standing by his side when he was 674 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 8: coaching the team, and I learned a lot from him. 675 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 8: He was one of those he might have been a 676 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 8: little bit before his time. 677 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 6: I remember you. 678 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 8: Often there'd be players from the team come down to 679 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 8: our place for dinner and back then though my heroes 680 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 8: of course, and he just seemed to take a bit 681 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 8: of a special interest in them and try to build 682 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 8: a good sense of team spirit and comradeship. And I 683 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 8: think I might have picked a few clues up off 684 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 8: in there. I've certainly do some of those things myself. 685 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: What a coaching family you are. So tonight's not the 686 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: night to look too far ahead, fags, but all of 687 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: us just so admire this team. And it's the age, 688 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: demographic and the possibility. So you've been in a program 689 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: that won four and one three in a row. Are 690 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: you of a mind to pitch to them? This is 691 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: the sweet stop spot. Let's make sure we get all 692 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: that we can from it. 693 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 8: Well, we talked about again after the game, just you know, 694 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 8: I think the key to us having a good year 695 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 8: this year was we didn't get carried away with ourselves 696 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 8: last year after we won the premiership. I thought, you know, 697 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 8: we got some confidence from it, but we stayed humble 698 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 8: as a group and I didn't see anyone develop a 699 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 8: sense of entitlement at all, which I think is really important. 700 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 8: So as long as we as long as we stay grounded, 701 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 8: I think we can obviously challenge again next year. We've 702 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 8: got a lot of young players on our list who 703 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 8: growing into great AFL players, and they're best as ahead 704 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 8: of them and our older experienced players I think have 705 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 8: still got a fair bit of life left in them. 706 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 8: So you know, right now, I can understand why everybody's 707 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 8: saying that about us, But it all still comes back 708 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 8: to attitude and being prepared to work and continuing to 709 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 8: try and improve and get better. And if we can 710 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 8: do that, then we're a chance to be successful again 711 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 8: next year. But that's the that's the sixty four dollars question. 712 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: Will you guide them for a little while yet fades. 713 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 8: As En coached the team. Jared, Yep, Yeah, for as 714 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 8: long as I feel like I'm making a difference and 715 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 8: they think I am. 716 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 6: I often talk to. 717 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 8: Our leaders and get feedback from them on how I'm going. 718 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 8: You've got to stay relevant with younger people to coach 719 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 8: them well, and you've got to stay relevant to the 720 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 8: to the trends of the game. I mean, hopefully we've 721 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 8: said a few trends ourselves. But you know, I'm always 722 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 8: mindful that you've got to see and lifespan at a 723 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 8: football club, and I don't quite know how long that is, 724 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 8: but you know some people have always thought that was 725 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 8: around the ten year mark. Well, I've done nine, so 726 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 8: I've got two. 727 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 6: More years to go. 728 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 8: So if I get to the end of that and 729 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 8: we're still being successful, I guess I've got a decision 730 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 8: to make. But I'm pretty happy that the club's backed 731 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 8: me in for. 732 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 6: As long as I have. 733 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: FIG's brilliant. Thank you as ever, well done. 734 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 8: Thanks boys, thanks for your support of not just the 735 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 8: Lions this year, but AFL in general. I think your 736 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 8: show is a real hallmark for all clubs. Well, I 737 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 8: think we all all watch it and we respect it 738 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 8: because we like and respect the fact that you guys 739 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 8: have great opinions on footy. So thanks for all that 740 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 8: you've done this year and for supporting the Lions. 741 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: To time premiership coach Chris Fagan, and a big thanks 742 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: to Carlie Miranda from the AFL Coaches Association who works 743 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: with us every week for our privilege to access back 744 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: to back to the premiers. So there's a bit unpack 745 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: our view on how it happened to vanquished the day itself, 746 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: which seems to elevate year on year. There are so 747 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: many memorable aspects to what took place on Saturday that 748 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: will come to be iconic of the way the twenty 749 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: twenty five season unfolded. They just missed him. With the 750 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: bulk of that, it was good enough, just got enough. 751 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: There was a good mark. They came from a long 752 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: way back. 753 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what he was doing, but he might 754 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: have gone off and run, but they got him. 755 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: And we revel in the Lions premiership this Monday. 756 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 9: Above all, Gene she Mas
