Speaker 1: And unflustered Sam Mitchell says it's all under control. As
Speaker 1: the Hawks ready themselves for the next test of their metal,
Speaker 1: It's the Magpies on Friday nights.
Speaker 2: The Lines set themselves off a five day break as
Speaker 2: the Bombers dig deep into their ranks to field a
Speaker 2: team in Brisbane tomorrow night and on the cusps for winter.
Speaker 1: And with the first slider set to be announced, we
Speaker 1: begin the countdown to Big Freeze eleven with the Dannaher's.
Speaker 3: We talked about his step into it in brace Allan.
Speaker 2: In the room and rent it.
Speaker 1: It's unedifying for a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 2: They're on the side of Courtia with the brain, take
Speaker 2: the man on.
Speaker 1: They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
Speaker 1: start of the season.
Speaker 3: And in the president left the couple order said he
Speaker 3: of course they do. This is the stuff that legends
Speaker 3: are made of.
Speaker 2: What is holding the ball? I don't think I could
Speaker 2: answer it clearly right now that I can do something.
Speaker 3: Wrong, you know, And I need to go and the
Speaker 3: board sex.
Speaker 2: The fans lover and with no fans no through sixty
Speaker 2: year old.
Speaker 1: The angles of Round twelve loom before us, but origin
Speaker 1: occupies many of mine to night Gas, Do you have
Speaker 1: a favorite origin memory.
Speaker 2: Of us playing? I over got that many of the
Speaker 2: new South Wales queens and writing eighty nine VIC South
Speaker 2: Australia as the state of origin concept was on its knees,
Speaker 2: brought it back to the MCG, which historically hadn't been.
Speaker 2: We went into a meeting at AFL House which is
Speaker 2: in Jollymont, not sure if anyone had come. We came out.
Speaker 2: There's ninety one thousand people crammed into the MCG. We
Speaker 2: gave the South Australians a belting. We had great Victorians
Speaker 2: like Jason Dunstall playing in full ford for us alongside
Speaker 2: Tony Likett. It was unbelievable. So that's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: Where did you line up in the center half back?
Speaker 2: I couldn't fit into a forward line of I don't care,
Speaker 2: but played It was Lockett and Dunstall and probably Low
Speaker 2: and Durmott.
Speaker 3: It was great, great stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, here's all we've got lined up for tonight.
Speaker 1: Our coaches are on Judy, Adam Simpson and John Longmire.
Speaker 1: With the modern day demands that have been faced by
Speaker 1: those in the chair right now, to her is here
Speaker 1: and at the end of the show we'll be joined
Speaker 1: by the mid season draft pick number one, who's about
Speaker 1: to learn his fate. In the minutes aheads and then
Speaker 1: First Crack preview what to look for in Round twelve.
Speaker 1: Jerry and Kinny have been delving deep into the numbers
Speaker 1: and working in the lab D Day to get a
Speaker 1: started for Ossie Broadbound, who was a D Day four.
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to Swans.
Speaker 3: This is time.
Speaker 2: They've been a little bit of nothing. They've had wins
Speaker 2: against eighth, ninth, twelfth and seven, eighth. I've lost against first,
Speaker 2: second and third. That's not the end of the world.
Speaker 2: They've lost against tenth, eleventh and fifteenth as well, So
Speaker 2: this is it. They need a statement. They were so
Speaker 2: disappointing against Melbourne. They need a response and in the
Speaker 2: season is slowly slipping away. Jared at four and seven.
Speaker 2: So Adelais Crows come to town. Good side top four,
Speaker 2: grab your scalp right now, Swans and keep the pulse
Speaker 2: just beating ever so slightly. I'm not sure if they
Speaker 2: can do it, but I reckon this is a time
Speaker 2: for them to turn around to Dean Cox and say, hey,
Speaker 2: we've got your back here.
Speaker 1: You'll be there for it. We'll be up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely can't wait. We be very just beat Giants
Speaker 2: last time out of the SCC. It's the best win.
Speaker 2: They need a big statement win. As I said, you
Speaker 2: can lose the first, second and third, that's not the
Speaker 2: end of the world. But right now, when you're four
Speaker 2: and seven, make your statement in front of your home
Speaker 2: crowd and get some momentum going in the back half
Speaker 2: of the year.
Speaker 3: So that's me.
Speaker 2: Where have you got?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm on the team that beat the Melbourne because
Speaker 1: opportunity just gapes here. You would never have believed that
Speaker 1: the des could get themselves square with a Ledger before
Speaker 1: they hit the buy given them the start that they had,
Speaker 1: and in these wins we well know they kick sixteen goals,
Speaker 1: sixteen girls fillowing goals, nine and goals. They look like
Speaker 1: a team transformed. Now do that against St Kilda, who
Speaker 1: will bring this stingy plan to try to bring all
Speaker 1: of that done and take it to a town like Alice.
Speaker 1: So they have a losing record there, they're four and
Speaker 1: six across the journey. They've lost their last two and
Speaker 1: the most recent was just a horror show against freemance
Speaker 1: when they got beaten by ninety plus points. To make
Speaker 1: these outposts work, it's a whole of club endeavor. It
Speaker 1: requires enthusiasm, not resentment, and it requires winning because nothing
Speaker 1: builds that like a in culture. So you don't want
Speaker 1: to go there and lose momentum, lose a third and
Speaker 1: the trot there and get resentful towards the trip. This
Speaker 1: is the chance. Get away, plant a flag square the Ledger,
Speaker 1: come back to Big Freeze, have a dash at Collingwood,
Speaker 1: and then go right.
Speaker 3: We're right back in us.
Speaker 2: So they've had the grand finalist Scalps in the last
Speaker 2: two weeks. So you just got to find a way
Speaker 2: to win this game.
Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, done by Ross and his Saints. Top
Speaker 1: of the agenda. Yesterday we learned that the Magpies have
Speaker 1: their battalion returning for Friday nights. And today Sam Mitchell
Speaker 1: was batting away questions that loom over the Hawks as
Speaker 1: they head to the next high end assignments.
Speaker 4: And Sam Mitchell's come back from Darwin.
Speaker 2: He's got a nice little tan, he looks like he's
Speaker 2: fitting ready to go.
Speaker 4: Where'd you go there?
Speaker 5: We lost?
Speaker 3: So not that great.
Speaker 2: Nice to Sam Mitchell just about lost the plot.
Speaker 4: Sound like his old coach.
Speaker 3: He was there, had your hand go sign it was
Speaker 3: it was quite soft behind it. Tekfully h frustrate.
Speaker 5: He was it wee again.
Speaker 3: It's about as frustrating as that, to be honest.
Speaker 6: What's your biggest concern or frustrated at the moment with
Speaker 6: how you guys are playing.
Speaker 7: I think you're all much more frustrated as a media
Speaker 7: group than we are. When you guys say, oh, they're
Speaker 7: flying their faun's in, they're Premiership firs. I was saying
Speaker 7: sort of okay, we're not going quite as well as that.
Speaker 7: We're making progress and we're going okay, but we've got
Speaker 7: some work to do. And now we've lost two games
Speaker 7: in a row and it's like.
Speaker 3: Oh, they've lost the plot. They're not going to win
Speaker 3: over again and they.
Speaker 7: Can't win with it will Day and the story is said,
Speaker 7: my job is to is to have the reality of
Speaker 7: the narrative, and the reality is always somewhere in between.
Speaker 4: The Sisly performance was I don't know what's going on
Speaker 4: with him, whether he's injured or not.
Speaker 2: He was all at sea and he was a big problem.
Speaker 3: Just assistant the groins. Something going to happen. These groins
Speaker 3: are fine, He's going to fine. This is fine. He's
Speaker 3: playing every week.
Speaker 7: There's no reason that he's kicking has anything.
Speaker 3: To do with this crowins.
Speaker 7: These goings are fine, and he kicked the ball reasonably
Speaker 7: well last week. I thought they'll watch all of his
Speaker 7: kicks and tell me which ones you thought he could
Speaker 7: do better.
Speaker 3: Bring me back, show me some vision. That is a
Speaker 3: storm in a tea cut.
Speaker 7: We don't feel like we're yeah, you know, quite as
Speaker 7: bad as perhaps what it looks like.
Speaker 2: There's good questions about them, and I might get answered
Speaker 2: Friday nine.
Speaker 1: There's a fisty demeter about the coach and well they
Speaker 1: might be right now. He says, it's always in between.
Speaker 1: The question is are they in between? Are they a
Speaker 1: top four contender or are they in between? And to
Speaker 1: some extent we're about to get our answer to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of edge there, which I think.
Speaker 2: I think it's timely that they come. That's really interesting
Speaker 2: this time last year, Jared, they're four wins and seven losses.
Speaker 2: They've got a percentage of eighty two and no one
Speaker 2: that's really having a great, big look at them. They
Speaker 2: went on a ten and two tear, finished one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty percent and won their first final. There's seven
Speaker 2: and four with one hundred and sevent eighty percent. Are
Speaker 2: they in the same build phase as they were this
Speaker 2: time last year. It's an interesting point. They're beautifully positioned
Speaker 2: seven and four. You take that. I reckon at the
Speaker 2: start of the year they won the first four games
Speaker 2: of the year with will Day in that side. They're
Speaker 2: three and four without will Day. I think it's instructional.
Speaker 2: I think he's so important their clearance numbers, which isn't
Speaker 2: is a problem. It can be sheeted back to his
Speaker 2: absence a fair bit. But look, there's not a disaster
Speaker 2: hear by any stretcher, and he's exactly right. No one
Speaker 2: suggesting it. As he said, they're never going to win again,
Speaker 2: and they've lost the plot. Not one media person who's
Speaker 2: said Hawthorne have lost the plot on the back of
Speaker 2: those two losses.
Speaker 1: And we will say anything, and we will, so let's
Speaker 1: just control the narrative.
Speaker 2: No one said they've lost the plot, but we do
Speaker 2: get excited about them from time to time.
Speaker 3: But you know, this is reality.
Speaker 2: The clearance is down seven eight against the line center
Speaker 2: abound seven down fifteen against some cent abounds nine. That's
Speaker 2: with Warple and that's with newcom in the middle of
Speaker 2: the ground. It's interesting that they're getting their hands on it.
Speaker 2: Opposition teams are taking the ball away, so they're gone
Speaker 2: to work on them to some degree. And the players
Speaker 2: that are just off more is just off all Australian
Speaker 2: last year thirty plus, he's kicked eleven goals from eleven games, okay,
Speaker 2: being okay, but he's an all Australian Jared So that
Speaker 2: was the driver in that back half. De Ambrosio all
Speaker 2: Australian forty, he was a driver in the back half.
Speaker 2: He was a top twenty player from the ratings. He
Speaker 2: ended up right now outside the top one fifty. So
Speaker 2: off in off just a bit, sicily off just a bit.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: All these things out up to the fact that yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: they've lost four of their last seven games and then
Speaker 2: they come to Collingwood. They've got doing a lot right
Speaker 2: though they're hard to play against steel and you don't
Speaker 2: score against the money in the set. You don't score
Speaker 2: against them necessarily from clearance. Although the last two weeks
Speaker 2: has been a battle and you know, they defend their
Speaker 2: inside fifty really well. So all those things. He'd look
Speaker 2: at that and go, we're okay, and he can be feisty.
Speaker 2: But I just get a feeling they wouldn't have been
Speaker 2: much Hollywood Hawks this week. I reckon it was to
Speaker 2: get back to work, you bolks, and let's put a
Speaker 2: stake in the ground here and mind people how good
Speaker 2: we've been. And no better team to do it against
Speaker 2: the than the top of the team. Yeah, the Premier
Speaker 2: the couch Premiership window. They're in it. So top five,
Speaker 2: top five points, four, top four points again, so that
Speaker 2: tells you that they are still in really good shape.
Speaker 2: But little concerns are there, and that's okay. That happens
Speaker 2: long hard season. We saw it last year. They started
Speaker 2: slow and finished like a train. What they don't want
Speaker 2: is start fast, win the four games and fall in
Speaker 2: a heap. I don't think they will do it. I
Speaker 2: think they've got too much down.
Speaker 1: Credible against the Suns and then outplayed for most parts
Speaker 1: against the Lions. They've got Collingwood, the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide.
Speaker 1: So these we get fussy at this time of years.
Speaker 1: Who have you beaten? Well, they've beaten the Giants, who
Speaker 1: have been eight of eighty. So we've had a top
Speaker 1: seven and the Giants have occupied the next place and
Speaker 1: then they've built their numbers against those below that. So
Speaker 1: get to a moment of the season. It's time to
Speaker 1: take a scalp. Do it convincingly, show us what you've got.
Speaker 1: Do it against Collingwood, who we all regard as the
Speaker 1: benchmark team right now.
Speaker 2: And there's only seven games this round, you know, So
Speaker 2: I suspect he's walked into that press conference today, been
Speaker 2: heavily dissected last week and now heavily focused on and
Speaker 2: it'll be heavy focused Thursday Friday in the build up
Speaker 2: and if the coach has got a bit of a
Speaker 2: bristle about him, which it wasn't too bad, but I like,
Speaker 2: actually love it when he gets a bit indignant, like
Speaker 2: James Sisley is the number one turnover kick in the competition,
Speaker 2: all right, so that's just out there, and last week
Speaker 2: was okay, it was a bit better that when he
Speaker 2: goes in to defend the coat, defend his captain. I
Speaker 2: love it, Jared, because that's that's closing the walls and
Speaker 2: saying Friday night, everyone has a bit of the A
Speaker 2: against them and away you go. So let's get into it.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell your panel how to do
Speaker 1: its job on Friday night. But if anyone's going to
Speaker 1: ask about sisily have the vision.
Speaker 3: Cut, I'll not ask me.
Speaker 1: Thursday night is where the round starts when we get
Speaker 1: the Gabba tomorrow. Nice It's compromised to a couple of degrees.
Speaker 1: Essendon is in the scourge of injury while Brisbane are
Speaker 1: off a five day break and it's a scenario they
Speaker 1: didn't handle well last month.
Speaker 5: It's hard to freshen them up because you've only a
Speaker 5: five days so we haven't done a lot. We've just
Speaker 5: been really in recovery mode. We had a reasonable reasonably
Speaker 5: short hit out yesterday. But the good thing is everyone's
Speaker 5: recovered well from the game on the weekend, you know,
Speaker 5: so that's all you can ask for. They're very professional
Speaker 5: their players. They do all their recovery things that they
Speaker 5: do during the week to give themselves the best chance
Speaker 5: to be in great chap and to be honest to
Speaker 5: medic and played the day before. They've had six days
Speaker 5: they got to travel so heart and pass of as
Speaker 5: l forty these days.
Speaker 1: They've dropped a couple l at the gap of the line,
Speaker 1: so that has to stop if they want to build
Speaker 1: their credentials to that top two finish. That's Thursday night forty.
Speaker 1: The teams are always going to be fascinating tonight. So
Speaker 1: the lines are unchanged, which is not surprising except that
Speaker 1: it means mcinnernie they're going to take the chance to
Speaker 1: rest him again, and why wouldn't you at this stage
Speaker 1: And Kitty Coleman, who played that one game, was then
Speaker 1: rested and doesn't win his place back for now, it
Speaker 1: was always going to be about what happened at Essendon,
Speaker 1: who are forced to make three changes. So a seventh debutante,
Speaker 1: Zach Johnson comes in. He's picked seventy from the draft,
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old rebounding defender, a larger statist who's
Speaker 1: played the three games this year hasn't been able to
Speaker 1: hold his place. And Archer day Wis who played the
Speaker 1: games against Sydney and the Bulldogs. McKay reed Langford joined
Speaker 1: Ridley and Jones and Draper and Brian and Hayes and Cox,
Speaker 1: and that's why they'll be taking so many picks in
Speaker 1: the mid season draft. Their bone dry.
Speaker 2: And that's their spine. McKay read Langford there, So I
Speaker 2: mean you look at it, it just means that the
Speaker 2: peripheral defenders who have played second and third come into
Speaker 2: more focus. They Laverde and Redmond have to play bigger
Speaker 2: roles and then you know they still have Caddie. They
Speaker 2: still have right in the front half.
Speaker 1: Is interesting.
Speaker 2: Dylan Shiel remains as an emergency so when you look
Speaker 2: at a situation like this and you go okay, you
Speaker 2: think that you want to turn to a pretty experienced player,
Speaker 2: but he doesn't get a look in. Even Joe Menzi
Speaker 2: sits on the emergency bench as well. So these are
Speaker 2: those games where they'd never say it, but it's stuffing
Speaker 2: to lose here for the essendent team. You go there
Speaker 2: and you just build and build, keep challenging your group
Speaker 2: to take on Brisbane pain and narrative around the fact
Speaker 2: that that's a five day break and they might just
Speaker 2: be a little half a step off and see if
Speaker 2: you can't jump them. That's sort of what you build up.
Speaker 1: And the lines have had those couple of games last year.
Speaker 1: Last week they were roused by the challenge come to
Speaker 1: the nbcg face for the previous two weeks they got
Speaker 1: to be comfortable against Melbourne and then ten minutes where
Speaker 1: it got out of control, and I suspect that didn't
Speaker 1: appeal to them. The trip to Tasmania and they thought
Speaker 1: they had that under control as well. So I can't
Speaker 1: imagine they'd be taking a game like this for granted
Speaker 1: with those two recent case studies for.
Speaker 2: Them, No, but on that basis then there is a
Speaker 2: pattern of behavior there. So they to be forewarned is
Speaker 2: to be forearmed. And I'm sure that Chris Fagan's showing
Speaker 2: that down their throat, but we're seeing sillier things happen.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to build some interesting Jared, and I
Speaker 2: think these games are sometimes really interesting. That these you
Speaker 2: can in the end the time they run out this
Speaker 2: and boys will have been put into a mind frame
Speaker 2: that says, yeah, we can take them. So let's see
Speaker 2: what happens tomorrow and on.
Speaker 1: All right, that's Thursday night four. That's your team right
Speaker 1: here on Fox. Have you felt the bite of winter.
Speaker 2: Just it's been pretty well. I want the bite of
Speaker 2: range for everyone, That's what I want.
Speaker 1: It was a bit on the NATS. I was reaching
Speaker 1: for Beanie today.
Speaker 3: Do I have a beanie.
Speaker 1: Time to get your beanie.
Speaker 2: Well you get the numbered beanie of course, having been
Speaker 2: a slider, but for everyone and we do also by
Speaker 2: so get out and get them. They're there. Cole's Bunnings
Speaker 2: Big Freeze slides we had the slide hasn't been named yet.
Speaker 1: They start being named tomorrow, so you can ask this
Speaker 1: a bet. Danaher, who's about to join us. Big Freeze
Speaker 1: eleven is on the horizon. It's always such a day
Speaker 1: for the footy community as we stand with Neil, Danaher
Speaker 1: and the game itself is taking great shape on the
Speaker 1: King's Birthday with Collinwood and Melbourne to meet on one
Speaker 1: of the most cherished days in the footy calendar.
Speaker 2: And to Garyline, did you about to go into minds
Speaker 2: too fantastic?
Speaker 5: You coached him for a year, but I reckon this
Speaker 5: is his best performance for you.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's tough to feeling at the moment great idea
Speaker 3: at the time.
Speaker 2: Well, she and the robber and be t you not
Speaker 2: much water and ice left in enity, perfectly honest.
Speaker 1: Three two.
Speaker 3: You have to go into that ice bath. You might
Speaker 3: wake up tomorrow feeling a little horse. I see you've
Speaker 3: got a little horse there who you dressed as?
Speaker 7: I'm Black Cavias, shocking.
Speaker 1: This is all Luke Nolan's care, from the helmet to
Speaker 1: the boots, weighty, from fox footy to dressed.
Speaker 2: Here is Luke Nolan, of course, Black Cavier twenty five
Speaker 2: consecutive wins, three two, one, go there you can play.
Speaker 3: So graceful, so graceful.
Speaker 1: The chill and the bone still all these right, whispered
Speaker 1: a nice There.
Speaker 3: Was a little horse from the west, was beautiful, infect
Speaker 3: out of her. It's great to see you, bet, thank
Speaker 3: you for having me on.
Speaker 6: I love coming on AFL through sixty. It's an exciting
Speaker 6: time of the year.
Speaker 3: This is always Dad's call to arms.
Speaker 1: This is when you know that we're settling in and
Speaker 1: it's time to get the beanies and you'll unveil the
Speaker 1: sliders shortly.
Speaker 6: Yes, I know, I was so excited. First slider tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So everything, oh well.
Speaker 6: When Dad one Australian of the Year, we decided that
Speaker 6: we needed to find a way to recognize iconic Australians.
Speaker 6: So everyone is an iconic Gussy and we will be
Speaker 6: having someone live there at the Gabba. So that gets
Speaker 6: a little bit of a hint of who it might.
Speaker 2: Be Queensland flavor Jared. I won't go any further. We
Speaker 2: won't want to steal your thunder bit. Help the water
Speaker 2: comfortably in water. You've gone an extra, you've taken it shot.
Speaker 3: What about that?
Speaker 4: How is the old fella right there?
Speaker 6: He's good. He's good. I think you know. There's so
Speaker 6: many challenges that face him, but having that recognition of
Speaker 6: Australian of the Year was something for our family and
Speaker 6: for the M and D community. It was so special
Speaker 6: and Big Freeze is always a moment that it gets excited.
Speaker 6: We went to the footy on Sunday together the DASA
Speaker 6: backs back.
Speaker 3: We were very happy, happy task master. I tell you
Speaker 3: you could.
Speaker 6: Not wipe the smile face. Honestly, when the DASA aren't
Speaker 6: going that well, he doesn't need to say anything. You
Speaker 6: can feel the tension. He's kicking his legs. But there
Speaker 6: was a lot of smiles on Sunday. So it's good
Speaker 6: to see.
Speaker 1: What have the demands been like for him as Australian
Speaker 1: of the Year.
Speaker 6: I think it's just a really great platform to continue
Speaker 6: to spread awareness about M and D. We have such
Speaker 6: great support from the AFIL community and they're the people
Speaker 6: that got on from the very beginning and they've been
Speaker 6: leading the charge. This is an opportunity to just continue
Speaker 6: to spread outside of that. We always talk about how
Speaker 6: M and D doesn't have borders, so neither do we.
Speaker 6: We need to be able to continue to talk about
Speaker 6: M and D and get further people within Australia involved.
Speaker 6: So I think it provides that platform and I feel
Speaker 6: like it's given him a bit of energy. He's doing
Speaker 6: things that he hasn't done before. We're doing some keynote
Speaker 6: speeches together and then he's doing a little bit of
Speaker 6: a tour. It's hard for him, but he's doing what
Speaker 6: he can.
Speaker 2: I know, from both Collingwood's point of view and Melbourne's,
Speaker 2: one of the highlights of the year is when he's
Speaker 2: able to get along and deliver a pre King's Birthday
Speaker 2: speech to the boys. Is he going again this year?
Speaker 6: Yes, he amazes me. I don't know where he finds
Speaker 6: the energy. It's really incredible. So he'll be heading to
Speaker 6: Melbourne on Tuesday, Collingwood on Wednesday. If I've got them right,
Speaker 6: it's one way or the other that he's doing everything
Speaker 6: that he can to continue to support the people that
Speaker 6: from the very start with yourself and new Jared got
Speaker 6: behind it, took on the challenge. You know, you got
Speaker 6: tapped on the shoulder being like, do you mind sliding
Speaker 6: down a slide in toolpool of vice?
Speaker 4: Ever floated to me?
Speaker 3: And when he first was he using the coach voice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't a question. You get behind this. This
Speaker 4: is what we're doing. Get behind it and the way
Speaker 4: we go. Yes, that's exactly what we'll do.
Speaker 1: There's this beautiful day on the footy calories.
Speaker 6: It is just walking into the mcg and looking around
Speaker 6: at the crowd and seeing it. You don't see Melbourne
Speaker 6: or Collingwood colors, you see blue. And I always talk
Speaker 6: about how meeting so many families that have been impacted
Speaker 6: by M and D, when they see someone walking down
Speaker 6: the street and they're wearing the beanie, what that means
Speaker 6: to them is just so powerful that we can't understate it.
Speaker 6: It might be a simple thing to you know, putting
Speaker 6: your hand in the pocket twenty five dollars, but it
Speaker 6: shows people out there that there's an army of people
Speaker 6: who are trying to help and support and they care
Speaker 6: about what they're going through, and it lifts spirits, It
Speaker 6: really does.
Speaker 2: It's one of the great activations of all times. There's
Speaker 2: no question about that. And the tangible difference that is
Speaker 2: being made right now because of people who will So
Speaker 2: you can scan your QR code right there, right now
Speaker 2: and get involved going out and get one of these.
Speaker 2: Buy one for someone that twenty five bucks. They mightn't
Speaker 2: be able to afford it. So if you can buy
Speaker 2: one for someone else and it is making a difference,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 6: Making a difference. And we know that times are tough
Speaker 6: and there's so many challenges out there, and I think
Speaker 6: I always reflect on this that when times are tough,
Speaker 6: that's when you see aust Aliens rally and they get
Speaker 6: behind it. The generosity just amazes us each and every
Speaker 6: year because they want to help and they want to
Speaker 6: help the underdog. Because we've come so far. We're not
Speaker 6: there yet, but we know by every beanie purchased, every
