Speaker 1: Jack Lococious, chadlos great depth to Lococious and he dribbles
Speaker 1: a proper book for us.
Speaker 2: Jack. That's quite an introduction on five double a breakfast, Jack, good.
Speaker 3: Morning to you.
Speaker 2: Good morning guys. How was it down there?
Speaker 3: We were It's fantastic. We're just saying it.
Speaker 1: It must it must be horrible this week, of all weeks,
Speaker 1: that you can't be out there playing on Sunday head
Speaker 1: of what's going to be such a massive day.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this though.
Speaker 1: First, are you ingrained enough in the Port Adelaide culture
Speaker 1: that you take joy out of the Crows losing last
Speaker 1: night yet?
Speaker 3: Or does that take a while to sleep in.
Speaker 2: I don't know I take joy out of it yet.
Speaker 2: But yeah, three and two is better than four and
Speaker 2: one for them.
Speaker 4: I think, Well, Jack, it's going to be a massive
Speaker 4: game on Sunday. Is it been much chat among the
Speaker 4: playing group about the sort of injustice that Koshi has
Speaker 4: rightly we think, been vocal about with porl ken Copper
Speaker 4: that twenty k fine for shooting his mouth off a
Speaker 4: bit with Sicily and you know, the aeroplane stuff. Yet
Speaker 4: now it's supposedly the grudge match of the round being
Speaker 4: promoted heavily by the AFL.
Speaker 3: This happened it both ways a bit, aren't they. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think when it first came out, everyone, not only
Speaker 2: the football club, but everyone kind of agreed that it
Speaker 2: was a bit silly. But no, it's an exciting game
Speaker 2: for the club. Obviously it'd be a big crowd and
Speaker 2: lots of eyes on us. So yeah, no better ocasual
Speaker 2: for the boys to get our says and gone.
Speaker 1: Any talk internally about goal celebrations and how Hawthorne might
Speaker 1: carry on if they get a bit of a head
Speaker 1: of steam up. Obviously, you know it is the grudge match.
Speaker 1: Guys get told to sort of, you know, keep a
Speaker 1: lid on it internally, if you talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: getting rassed up by some of these Hawthorne and antagonists
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: Nah, I think celebrations of the least of our worries.
Speaker 2: We're pretty focused on what we've got to do to
Speaker 2: get our our game going and our season going. And
Speaker 2: I think we've had the wood Over Hawks at the
Speaker 2: last couple of games. Obviously I haven't been here, but
Speaker 2: we feel like we match up pretty well against them,
Speaker 2: and I think we're really excited to do it against
Speaker 2: our fans and in our.
Speaker 4: State despite being injured, Jack, have you been able to
Speaker 4: get involved in any of the sort of gather around
Speaker 4: events so far? Like there's been you know, a lot
Speaker 4: of a lot of stuff for the for the fans.
Speaker 4: Have you have you been part of any of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a big clinic day the other day
Speaker 2: down at Alberton, had a heap of kids and played
Speaker 2: some footy with them, so that was that was great.
Speaker 2: And then also I went out to the Women's and
Speaker 2: Children's Hospital who are a big partner with gather around
Speaker 2: with their foundations. So it's spent a couple of hours
Speaker 2: out there with some kids and that was a great
Speaker 2: experience too. But no, it's a great atmosphere here in
Speaker 2: Adelaide and looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
Speaker 3: And how are you coming along? Though?
Speaker 4: There was a story a couple of days ago where
Speaker 4: there was some speculation that you might you might be
Speaker 4: making a sooner an expected comeback?
Speaker 3: Was that? Was that rigid ditch?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm feeling good. I don't want to put too
Speaker 2: much pressure on myself, but yeah, I'm feeling good. Taking
Speaker 2: lots of boxes so hopefully I can keep tracking the
Speaker 2: right way and play a heap of footy in the
Speaker 2: back end of this season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, back in what second half? Is that the aims
Speaker 4: of halfway mark or you know, even sooner?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Buyer will be an interesting time.
Speaker 2: Hopefully I can play a game or two beforehand, but
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty sad to say I should be
Speaker 2: back after the Buyer. But yeah, I'm looking to obviously
Speaker 2: shorten that time out of the game as much as
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did you think of the game last night? Jeez?
Speaker 4: We all get a bit complacent about Gulong and every
Speaker 4: year people write them off and say, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: they're pasted it and people.
Speaker 3: Calling them Dad's Army and what have you.
Speaker 4: But you know, through gridded teeth, I say this, Patrick
Speaker 4: Dangerfield is quite a unique football, isn't he.
Speaker 2: Yeah they were incredible. You know, they're up against the
Speaker 2: crowd against them, and they hang tough for probably most
Speaker 2: of the second quarter and started the third and then
Speaker 2: obviously yes, Sty've got some match winners and Jeremy Cameron
Speaker 2: and and put their back line was unreal, Zach Guthrie
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So no, I don't go away Gelen.
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, they're a quality lineup. Darcy Burne Jones misses
Speaker 1: out on Sunday. Did you feels like you get one back?
Speaker 1: Get Zach Butter's back last week and he looked like
Speaker 1: he didn't miss a trick, and you lose another one
Speaker 1: this week. You must be looking forward to a time
Speaker 1: when the team could be at full strength.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a little bit frustrating. I think he's
Speaker 2: been one of the boys that started the season really well,
Speaker 2: so it is a little bit annoying that he's out
Speaker 2: and obviously kicked the winner against the Hawks last year,
Speaker 2: so no, the boys will have to step up.
Speaker 3: I'm sure does he remind you guys about that? But
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wasn't there, but henbelieved he's pretty relaxed. But I
Speaker 2: think he's happy with that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an unbelievable eyelightdea at Adelaide Oval, good old
Speaker 1: you Jack Well, enjoy gathering our mate, and we can't
Speaker 1: wait to get you back on the on the field.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's going to be sooner rather than later.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, but
