Speaker 1: Personify Lucy.
Speaker 2: We're just talking not bear by any measure. The game
Speaker 2: against Brisbane last weekend took it to a side who
Speaker 2: they've got Grand Final credentials on their home ground in
Speaker 2: good form. Running him close was a pretty good result.
Speaker 2: But you like the fans, it sounds like you're sick.
Speaker 2: You're talking about pretty good results.
Speaker 1: Yeah we are. It's obviously another disappointing win away from home.
Speaker 1: But I thought, as you mentioned, we gave it a
Speaker 1: good effort. It's obviously not what we go out for
Speaker 1: just to have a good effort. We want to go
Speaker 1: and win most games. But I thought we took it
Speaker 1: to them. We actually had a chance in the last
Speaker 1: quarter to kind of decrease that margin even more, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately fell short by eleven points.
Speaker 2: It was a weird sort of a game. It felt
Speaker 2: like in large periods or Brisbane about to put their
Speaker 2: foot down and get away, it never really happened. That's
Speaker 2: sort of been a hallmark of the Crow's Nicks period,
Speaker 2: hasn't it. You've been good at hanging in fights. It's
Speaker 2: just been about, you know, just getting over the line
Speaker 2: at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's spot on, and I think that first quarter
Speaker 1: especially with locking All and Josh Dunkley. Their first quarters
Speaker 1: was unbelievable and to see what they had at halftime
Speaker 1: kind of got addressed and said we need to be better,
Speaker 1: better in the contest all over the ground, not just
Speaker 1: in specific spots. But yeah, you've got to give credit
Speaker 1: to Brucebane. They're in some good form at the moment,
Speaker 1: and I don't think Locky here really gets spoken about
Speaker 1: of how good of a player he actually is too.
Speaker 2: Was extraordinate. The school board is working in the three goals.
Speaker 2: So we've spoken a bit this week about I was
Speaker 2: at ranking the four week suspension. He's had an incredible
Speaker 2: year this year. I think a lot of fans would
Speaker 2: look at the team sheet and say, well, it's as
Speaker 2: simple as ranking out Ruschelly in in terms of playing
Speaker 2: his role. Is it that simple?
Speaker 1: Yes? And no, I think Isaac brings that that bit more.
Speaker 1: I guess that bit more spark around the footy, and
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit more experience at the moment
Speaker 1: from me. He's played a few more years and he's
Speaker 1: played a lot more in the midfield this year. So
Speaker 1: you don't think necessarily you'll you'll take his role not
Speaker 1: necessarily closer to goal. Yeah, I think I'll still play
Speaker 1: closer to goal. I think we've still got a lot
Speaker 1: of mids in the moment, so I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: we're going to do. Then we've had Zach Taylor on
Speaker 1: the bench as playing that sub role, so he could
Speaker 1: potentially come in. But yeah, it's not really like for like,
Speaker 1: I don't think. But for me, I know where my
Speaker 1: position is and what I'm doing ahead of the ball.
Speaker 1: I think more that that midfield role is more a
Speaker 1: long term role for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's interesting. It's a like for like because
Speaker 2: I think a lot of fans would go you both
Speaker 2: flashy players with skill that that offer a bit up
Speaker 2: the ground and then offer a bit when you've got
Speaker 2: the goals, you know, goal sense and ability to sneak
Speaker 2: goals that way. But you see some differences just innately
Speaker 2: between your two games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do see a few diff and it's like,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'll go in for some center
Speaker 1: bounces and try and get a little bit more now
Speaker 1: that Isaac's not there. But I think for us now
Speaker 1: with the last seven weeks ago, we just really want
Speaker 1: to go out there and play with freedom and have
Speaker 1: no risks, and I think we'll have a few players
Speaker 1: just rolling through those spots and I think everyone's going
Speaker 1: to get a crack in there.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about that. The messaging
Speaker 2: now for the last seven rounds, as there been like
Speaker 2: a big picture conversation among the players, either driven by
Speaker 2: the players or the coach about what you're trying to
Speaker 2: get out of it, what you might see, and what
Speaker 2: to be prepared for.
Speaker 1: It definitely started after the bye week. We sat down
Speaker 1: and we had some great conversations around what the last
Speaker 1: nine games looked like, and it was great to see
Speaker 1: how that started straight after the bye week against genebe Best.
Speaker 1: We had a great win then and even last week
Speaker 1: and it was disappointing result, but we're still playing our
Speaker 1: brand of footye again. So for us, as I just
Speaker 1: mentioned before, it's just about having that freedom again and
Speaker 1: playing with that excitement and fun because for some of
Speaker 1: us it feels like it's only a couple weeks away
Speaker 1: the season ends, but it's still seven seven games away,
Speaker 1: so we can still get a lot out of the
Speaker 1: next seven rounds and set our season up for next year.
Speaker 2: Hugh Bond deboots this weekend fourth debutane of they You've
Speaker 2: always done a nice job of getting introducing us to
Speaker 2: these guys off the field before they played their first game. So,
Speaker 2: Hugh Bond, what kind of guys he.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you he's one of the most annoyingest players
Speaker 1: to play on at training. So whoever's got him this weekend,
Speaker 1: good luck, because he's a Lockdown player who just wants
Speaker 1: to annoy you and grab you and muck around with you.
Speaker 1: But he's he's a great person, Hugh. I've known him
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. He moved in with my
Speaker 1: host family as soon as I moved out, So he's
Speaker 1: a great person. He's got a great family, and it's
Speaker 1: well deserved because he's done it hard for a couple
Speaker 1: of years and grinded away and knew that the things
Speaker 1: he needed to improve on. But he deserves it more
Speaker 1: than anyone.
Speaker 2: Lockdown is in sort of taking small forwards as a
Speaker 2: small defender or sort of tagging through the midfield.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, small small defender playing on the small forwards.
Speaker 1: So Sydney got us, Sank would have got some good
Speaker 1: forwards down there with Jack Giggins and a few of them,
Speaker 1: So we'll probably be on one of them, I'd say it.
Speaker 2: Would be a big task. Yeah, how much of your
Speaker 2: time you've put in this week in having a look
Speaker 2: at House and kildare set up, because they've coming into
Speaker 2: a bit of form at the moment as well, and
Speaker 2: they do play a peculiar, if not unique style of
Speaker 2: footy where they leave a lot of space behind the
Speaker 2: footy off and you see half backs racking up incredible numbers.
Speaker 2: Your blocks must be that are back there must be
Speaker 2: licking their lips this week. But they liked to low
Speaker 2: scoring games, that ross line style of footy. You've spoken
Speaker 2: a bit about.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, we have. We we addressed our game review
Speaker 1: straight after in Brisbane, which was good to get that
Speaker 1: out of the way pretty quickly and move on. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a great day yesterday kind of analyzing Saint
Speaker 1: Kilda and where they're at. And as you mentioned that
Speaker 1: their half backs are big disposals and especially in a
Speaker 1: Zaiwanganneen and Jack Sinclair, they get back there as much
Speaker 1: as they can and they're pretty creative. So for us
Speaker 1: it will just be reducing their impact as much as
Speaker 1: possible and our ford to fifty pre she's going to
Speaker 1: be massive for us. I think we can get a
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers there and hopefully get on the end
Speaker 1: of a few goals. But yeah, our big thing will
Speaker 1: be again just pressing from the midfield and the forward line,
Speaker 1: and our contest will be will be a big thing too.
Speaker 2: Could you start a recruitment drive and I Miller out
Speaker 2: on the ground a few words, telling him how good
Speaker 2: it is back here. Why'd you the weather? I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be not making much of advertisement.
Speaker 1: You know it would it'd be great to have him
Speaker 1: and Wayne Miller back there for one day. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Last question not on footy, but on your former vocation
Speaker 2: in soccer. We're trying to work out earlier. In fact,
Speaker 2: I'll put it to you this way. Are you the
Speaker 2: kind of soccer fan that is happy when England does well?
Speaker 2: Or do you like this England not do well? Course,
Speaker 2: they've made it through to the final of Euro.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy for him. I'm pretty stoked for him,
Speaker 1: especially after watching the David Beckham documentary and say how
Speaker 1: much they got smoked for that back in the day.
Speaker 1: So it'd be great to see them do well, especially
Speaker 1: with all the haters. And I think watching dude Balingham
Speaker 1: these days. He's one of the the most absolute talents.
Speaker 1: Would be great to see him have a great game.
Speaker 2: I feel better about that now, Loose. I thought I
Speaker 2: was going out to the limbs thing. I was happy
Speaker 2: to Seeingly win this morning. I just needed to share
Speaker 2: the sentiment I need to hear from someone with some
Speaker 2: credibility that they feel the same way for that's good.
Speaker 2: We'll all the best for the weekend. Look forward to
Speaker 2: seeing guys taking the Saints Saturday night and one of
Speaker 2: our a couple of our listeners were getting along Loose
Speaker 2: because we've got the Bunker tickets seeing the game in style.
Speaker 2: I hope you see Josh kick four and dominate the game.
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming in, make great the chat. David Pemberthy
