Speaker 1: Jason Lauren Clint here as well, and so is this guy.
Speaker 2: Our next guest is in formally known as Doc.
Speaker 3: He's played with Some killd Us since twenty twenty one
Speaker 3: as a Ford and winger.
Speaker 1: Big by my some Wood over the top of two.
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the show. Bason from the Mighty Saints.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 5: This is exciting. So we're going to be having a
Speaker 5: different club each day in the lead.
Speaker 4: I love that we're starting with the Saints.
Speaker 5: And we got memberships to give away. If you want
Speaker 5: to score a Saints membership and merch pat call now
Speaker 5: thirteen twenty four to ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got two full season memberships.
Speaker 1: You guys got another week off, another week off.
Speaker 6: We are played on the weekend and yeah, we have
Speaker 6: a week off before or they play.
Speaker 1: Other teams play rounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very round.
Speaker 1: Are you collabed that you guys get the week off
Speaker 1: or we did?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn't want to play next week. That's because
Speaker 6: we played two days ago. But yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 6: it's different for all clubs, and I think it's great
Speaker 6: for the AFL. So whatever makes the AFL better, I
Speaker 6: guess we've all got to be a part of that.
Speaker 7: How does the anticipation and excitement go this time of
Speaker 7: year when you know you've got a week to go?
Speaker 7: Is there a different energy around the club now, you
Speaker 7: like right on the home stretch before the season starts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really funny when you go from like pre
Speaker 6: season to like games, there's a shift and now there's
Speaker 6: now another shift that we're just preparing for a Round one,
Speaker 6: so everyone's a lot more calm and just trying to
Speaker 6: fine tune things. And you know you don't have that
Speaker 6: opportunity to play on the weekend, so you know a
Speaker 6: lot of vision between now and Round one, but and
Speaker 6: then it'll be all systems go.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mace.
Speaker 3: Have you heard about the forecast ahead of the season
Speaker 3: opener between Geelong and Brisbane on Thursday? Yeah, not just ray,
Speaker 3: not just win, but a tropical cyclone is expected to hit.
Speaker 1: How do you go in those of the conditions?
Speaker 6: I can't pick up the ball when it's wed at
Speaker 6: the best of time going alone deep water.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: I remember one year I think North Melbourne played up
Speaker 6: in Northern Territory and it was like boys were trying
Speaker 6: to kick the ball off the ground and going anywhere
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. So, yeah, we're not going to play,
Speaker 6: so it doesn't affect us, but good luck for the
Speaker 6: rest of the time.
Speaker 7: You see that the NFL over in America and they
Speaker 7: play in the snow really like it is like thumping
Speaker 7: down with snow, and they fully play proper season matches.
Speaker 4: I don't know AFL boys that tough.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really interesting that you have like teams in
Speaker 6: like Miami that are like hot and then yea super
Speaker 6: cold in like Buffalo wherever it is, And what an
Speaker 6: advantage it would be. Like I feel like North Melbourne
Speaker 6: had a bit of that when I used to play
Speaker 6: down in Tazzy. Yeah, games of negative degrees and teams
Speaker 6: wouldn't want to have.
Speaker 1: A bar of it.
Speaker 4: So is that awful playing in those?
Speaker 6: I'm glad I don't have to do anymore. But yeah, no,
Speaker 6: I think once the ball bounces, it's not too bad.
Speaker 6: But when's the Tay Club come into the mix?
Speaker 1: A couple of years.
Speaker 4: Years, Minny gals down there as the president, isn't.
Speaker 1: It he's a CEO? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, Mace, you and I have got a little
Speaker 3: bit of history. I want to take you back to
Speaker 3: or first year, which was at Arden Street at North
Speaker 3: Melbourne Footy Club. I got a call to say, get
Speaker 3: out to Arden Street because there's a quirky story doing
Speaker 3: the rounds involving a bloke on his second day at
Speaker 3: the club. Because what happened, Yeah, it was it was
Speaker 3: my second day club. We're in Utah so we used
Speaker 3: to go away for camps and it was it was eighteen,
Speaker 3: my very first interview that I'd ever done, and I
Speaker 3: was quite nervous and all this, and I could feel
Speaker 3: these balls shooting past my feet. So someone was kicking
Speaker 3: balls at me just to throw me off, and it
Speaker 3: was Ben's spade at the time, went back on one
Speaker 3: and clocked me in the head on camera, and they
Speaker 3: didn't put it in the original vision of what I
Speaker 3: actually was doing the interview for. And then they came
Speaker 3: up to me and goes, oh, we reckon, this is
Speaker 3: going to be pretty good, and I was like really,
Speaker 3: like so embarrassing. Sure enough, and obviously Clink got ahold
Speaker 3: of it and came in and had a chat.
Speaker 4: So yeah, oh my god, first impression in the newsroom.
Speaker 1: Stemmers, Yeah, absolutely, but.
Speaker 4: That was when you were a young eighteen year old.
Speaker 7: Thirty one, Now, how is the body feeling going into
Speaker 7: another year.
Speaker 4: Did you have a bit of a quad injuries?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did a little quoe that played on the weekend,
Speaker 6: so all systems go. But yeah, I guess I'm brought
Speaker 6: in my house made at the minute, Angus Hasty live together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we live together.
Speaker 6: I live with three other guys and they're all eighteen
Speaker 6: nineteen and four boy three boys plus me and then
Speaker 6: my girlfriend as well. She's amazing, she is with.
Speaker 4: Three other boys.
Speaker 1: She sure does.
Speaker 4: That's discussing you like the parents.
Speaker 1: And you're adopted child. That's part of the gig that
Speaker 1: you try to give guys a bit of a leg up,
Speaker 1: moving in with the rules with people coming home. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: free for all, go.
Speaker 7: Do it three eighteen year old.
Speaker 1: But we're in no danger of that happening in this.
Speaker 4: So you've got three bunk beds or something.
Speaker 1: No, we've got a pretty pretty good house.
Speaker 6: So the club helped us out with that and we
Speaker 6: moved in. We moved into a bigger house to take
Speaker 6: on another draft this year.
Speaker 1: So it's good.
Speaker 7: Do you have them on like a chore roster, like
Speaker 7: you're on midnight, you're on dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So once we moved into this house. It was
Speaker 1: a bit of a what are we going to do?
Speaker 6: And I went back to what I used to do,
Speaker 6: which was right up your job for the week on
Speaker 6: the board, and if you don't get it done, it's
Speaker 6: a fifty dollars fine.
Speaker 7: And on the next Mason's rolling and he's just collecting
Speaker 7: everyone's not doing.
Speaker 5: You get into a little kid carnival and all go
Speaker 5: off to the game together like a farm.
Speaker 6: Well we would if we all eventually played together. So
Speaker 6: guys are at different part of the career and that
Speaker 6: kind of thing. But I was living with Nasai Wanganimalira,
Speaker 6: who's a star of our team last year, so we
Speaker 6: used to go to every game together.
