00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,760

00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: or we did?

22
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn't want to play next week. That's because

23
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 6: we played two days ago. But yeah, I mean it's

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 6: it's different for all clubs, and I think it's great

25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 6: for the AFL. So whatever makes the AFL better, I

26
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 6: guess we've all got to be a part of that.

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 7: How does the anticipation and excitement go this time of

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 7: year when you know you've got a week to go?

29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 7: Is there a different energy around the club now, you

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 7: like right on the home stretch before the season starts.

31
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really funny when you go from like pre

32
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 6: season to like games, there's a shift and now there's

33
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 6: now another shift that we're just preparing for a Round one,

34
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 6: so everyone's a lot more calm and just trying to

35
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 6: fine tune things. And you know you don't have that

36
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 6: opportunity to play on the weekend, so you know a

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 6: lot of vision between now and Round one, but and

38
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 6: then it'll be all systems go.

39
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Mace.

40
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: Have you heard about the forecast ahead of the season

41
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: opener between Geelong and Brisbane on Thursday? Yeah, not just ray,

42
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: not just win, but a tropical cyclone is expected to hit.

43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: How do you go in those of the conditions?

44
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 6: I can't pick up the ball when it's wed at

45
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 6: the best of time going alone deep water.

46
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: Now.

47
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 6: I remember one year I think North Melbourne played up

48
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 6: in Northern Territory and it was like boys were trying

49
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: to kick the ball off the ground and going anywhere

50
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. So, yeah, we're not going to play,

51
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 6: so it doesn't affect us, but good luck for the

52
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 6: rest of the time.

53
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 7: You see that the NFL over in America and they

54
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 7: play in the snow really like it is like thumping

55
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 7: down with snow, and they fully play proper season matches.

56
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: I don't know AFL boys that tough.

57
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really interesting that you have like teams in

58
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 6: like Miami that are like hot and then yea super

59
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 6: cold in like Buffalo wherever it is, And what an

60
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 6: advantage it would be. Like I feel like North Melbourne

61
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 6: had a bit of that when I used to play

62
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 6: down in Tazzy. Yeah, games of negative degrees and teams

63
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 6: wouldn't want to have.

64
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: A bar of it.

65
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 4: So is that awful playing in those?

66
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 6: I'm glad I don't have to do anymore. But yeah, no,

67
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: I think once the ball bounces, it's not too bad.

68
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 6: But when's the Tay Club come into the mix?

69
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: A couple of years.

70
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: Years, Minny gals down there as the president, isn't.

71
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: It he's a CEO? Yeah?

72
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, Mace, you and I have got a little

73
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: bit of history. I want to take you back to

74
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 3: or first year, which was at Arden Street at North

75
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: Melbourne Footy Club. I got a call to say, get

76
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: out to Arden Street because there's a quirky story doing

77
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: the rounds involving a bloke on his second day at

78
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: the club. Because what happened, Yeah, it was it was

79
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: my second day club. We're in Utah so we used

80
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: to go away for camps and it was it was eighteen,

81
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: my very first interview that I'd ever done, and I

82
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: was quite nervous and all this, and I could feel

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: these balls shooting past my feet. So someone was kicking

84
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: balls at me just to throw me off, and it

85
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: was Ben's spade at the time, went back on one

86
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: and clocked me in the head on camera, and they

87
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: didn't put it in the original vision of what I

88
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: actually was doing the interview for. And then they came

89
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: up to me and goes, oh, we reckon, this is

90
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: going to be pretty good, and I was like really,

91
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: like so embarrassing. Sure enough, and obviously Clink got ahold

92
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: of it and came in and had a chat.

93
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, oh my god, first impression in the newsroom.

94
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Stemmers, Yeah, absolutely, but.

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: That was when you were a young eighteen year old.

108
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: That's discussing you like the parents.

00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: And you're adopted child. That's part of the gig that

110
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,400

111
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: moving in with the rules with people coming home. Yeah, no,

112
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,599

Speaker 7: Do it three eighteen year old.

114
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: But we're in no danger of that happening in this.

115
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: So you've got three bunk beds or something.

116
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: No, we've got a pretty pretty good house.

117
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 6: So the club helped us out with that and we

118
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: moved in. We moved into a bigger house to take

119
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 6: on another draft this year.

120
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: So it's good.

121
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 7: Do you have them on like a chore roster, like

122
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 7: you're on midnight, you're on dinner.

123
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. So once we moved into this house. It was

124
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: a bit of a what are we going to do?

125
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 6: And I went back to what I used to do,

126
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 6: which was right up your job for the week on

127
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 6: the board, and if you don't get it done, it's

128
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 6: a fifty dollars fine.

129
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 7: And on the next Mason's rolling and he's just collecting

130
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 7: everyone's not doing.

131
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: You get into a little kid carnival and all go

132
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 5: off to the game together like a farm.

133
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 6: Well we would if we all eventually played together. So

134
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 6: guys are at different part of the career and that

135
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 6: kind of thing. But I was living with Nasai Wanganimalira,

136
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 6: who's a star of our team last year, so we

137
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 6: used to go to every game together.

138
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: So hopefully these boys regular stagment.
