Speaker 4: Yes.

00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:19,989
Speaker 2: Finally a credible guest, man.

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:21,210
Speaker 4: G'day, Dino.

8
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:21,350
Speaker 1: G'day.

9
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:25,009
Speaker 5: How you going? The only man that answered our phone

10
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:26,090
Speaker 5: call all year.

11
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:27,030
Speaker 6: So how are you, mate?

12
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 4: I'm good. For any... Text me. He says, oh, any

13
00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:30,980
Speaker 4: chance you can come in? I said, I'll be there

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:31,580
Speaker 4: for you, Brownie.

15
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,700
Speaker 5: I'll be there for you, mate. He used to.

16
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,139
Speaker 3: Buddy Franklin has been ignoring this man. He's a premiership teammate.

17
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 4: Well, that's feedback, isn't it?

18
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:40,050
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right.

19
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:42,430
Speaker 7: I'm just glad you can bring guests in because I've

20
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:43,550
Speaker 7: been doing this three years and.

21
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:44,210
Speaker 6: Got no one.

22
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:48,810
Speaker 5: Well, he promised Clarko. He promised Mitch. He's promised Buddy.

23
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 5: He has not delivered. The only time we got Mitch in,

24
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:53,630
Speaker 5: I actually rang Mitch directly.

25
00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:54,130
Speaker 6: I know, I know.

26
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:56,700
Speaker 5: And so Mitch came in. That was last year. But

27
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 5: great to have you, mate. Premiership coach last year, of course.

28
00:00:59,240 --> 00:00:59,460
Speaker 1: But.

29
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,620
Speaker 4: Geez, we're hanging on to that, aren't we?

30
00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:02,580
Speaker 6: Unlikely.

31
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 5: Not participating in the finals in September.

32
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:05,940
Speaker 6: What are you doing yourself?

33
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:08,190
Speaker 4: Jeez, 12 months is a long time for you.

34
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:08,810
Speaker 6: It is, mate.

35
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:09,650
Speaker 4: Things change quickly.

36
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:10,070
Speaker 6: Yeah.

37
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:12,970
Speaker 4: Yeah, still sort of working. There's lots to be done.

38
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:14,729
Speaker 4: Trying to not stand still.

39
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:17,209
Speaker 6: Oh, so they're not just tools down for September?

40
00:01:17,430 --> 00:01:20,150
Speaker 4: No, there's lots to be done. There's sort of exit

41
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:23,429
Speaker 4: interviews with players and then try to acquire new staff

42
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:24,170
Speaker 4: and all sorts of things.

43
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:26,669
Speaker 3: Flyer, when you're here, what do you say to the

44
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:29,290
Speaker 3: Collingwood fan listening that just needs some words from you?

45
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:30,669
Speaker 2: What do you say to them?

46
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,310
Speaker 4: Well, I'd like to think that the way we finished

47
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:34,300
Speaker 4: the year was a was a good way to sort

48
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: of exit if you're not going to play finals at

49
00:01:35,819 --> 00:01:37,890
Speaker 4: least we sort of got our game back on track

50
00:01:37,970 --> 00:01:40,770
Speaker 4: and all those you know the Brisbane win with a

51
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:43,630
Speaker 4: you know minute to go with you know right to

52
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:45,970
Speaker 4: the last hour and winning those games still is there

53
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:48,980
Speaker 4: for all for all to be seen and a year

54
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: of challenges many injuries and illness and all sorts of

55
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,270
Speaker 4: things and So yeah, maybe a year we might have

56
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:57,650
Speaker 4: had to have to be better next year.

57
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:59,130
Speaker 6: How do you deal with senior players?

58
00:01:59,770 --> 00:02:02,770
Speaker 5: So obviously you've experienced as a player, mate, you understand

59
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:06,170
Speaker 5: the emotions and the ups and downs of climbing the

60
00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:08,940
Speaker 5: mountain and then having to come back and rebuild and

61
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:12,060
Speaker 5: go again. How do you deal with the senior players

62
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,500
Speaker 5: and helping them with the emotions and the challenges of motivation,

63
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,500
Speaker 5: the challenge of conditioning, all those sorts of things?

64
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,870
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like to think that our senior players are

65
00:02:21,889 --> 00:02:25,710
Speaker 4: highly motivated. You think about Steele and Howie and Pendles,

66
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,790
Speaker 4: if those three just in particular, they're hungry, hungry athletes. Yeah,

67
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:33,270
Speaker 4: we're in a hurry to get rid of our experience

68
00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:36,780
Speaker 4: in our industry for some reason. And, you know, there's

69
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:39,790
Speaker 4: always an expiry date for everyone. But our last game

70
00:02:39,810 --> 00:02:41,910
Speaker 4: of the year, we had Ed Allen playing his second game.

71
00:02:41,950 --> 00:02:45,530
Speaker 4: He's a young kid from Perth, a high pick for us. And, yeah,

72
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,590
Speaker 4: we want him to be the next version of our midfield.

73
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:50,859
Speaker 4: And gets a game and he comes to the first

74
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: centre bounce. And there's still side bottom 300 games. You know,

75
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: Pendle's 400 games. And he's in his second game. And

76
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: Pendle comes up to me and goes, oh, where do

77
00:03:00,020 --> 00:03:02,590
Speaker 4: you want this, mate? the first bounce against Melbourne, he goes,

78
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 4: what do you mean? He goes, where do you want

79
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: the ball hit to? Because you're the go-to. And he goes, ah,

80
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:09,630
Speaker 4: over there. And you can imagine this kid in his

81
00:03:09,669 --> 00:03:12,709
Speaker 4: second game getting told by a 400th gamer, you're the guy.

82
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:16,700
Speaker 4: And so our experience... Yeah, he's been enormous for us,

83
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,989
Speaker 4: and we're not in a hurry to get rid of him.

84
00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, if you can get harness

85
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,620
Speaker 4: in with the right energy, yeah, it's a weapon if

86
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: you can have it.

87
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,420
Speaker 7: Did you let form dictate that with Pendles and also Steele?

88
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:30,700
Speaker 7: Because I know that sort of Mitch probably is a

89
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 7: bit similar with Gunston and Bruce. Like at one stage,

90
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 7: it looked like those two guys weren't going to go on,

91
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 7: and now they've got one-year deals. Was it something that

92
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 7: you said, we'll see how the year plays out, see

93
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,210
Speaker 7: how their bodies are holding up, and then make a call?

94
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:44,730
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were slightly different because Stills started the year

95
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:48,810
Speaker 4: recently in average form at his high levels. But Pendles,

96
00:03:48,850 --> 00:03:50,630
Speaker 4: it's the same with the captaincy with Pendles. I just

97
00:03:50,650 --> 00:03:52,330
Speaker 4: said to him, mate, this is yours for as long

98
00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:54,670
Speaker 4: as you want it. And we've got a relationship. I

99
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:59,180
Speaker 4: know he's not going to take us for granted in

100
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:01,900
Speaker 4: this sense. He knows his body well. He knows what

101
00:04:01,940 --> 00:04:04,380
Speaker 4: he's capable of. He's still really hungry in the mind,

102
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,030
Speaker 4: and as long as he is– Yeah, well, this is

103
00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:08,490
Speaker 4: your career, man. We'll back you in.

104
00:04:08,730 --> 00:04:10,830
Speaker 3: Hey, Fly, are you and the other coaches in the

105
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:14,750
Speaker 3: league looking at Sam Mitchell going, this young little son

106
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:16,029
Speaker 3: of a.

107
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:19,630
Speaker 4: Well, not so much that. I worked with Sam for

108
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:23,349
Speaker 4: 12 months, and funnily enough, before... He was given the

109
00:04:23,370 --> 00:04:26,410
Speaker 4: job to take over from Clark while I was at Hawthorne, so...

110
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: and I hadn't had the job at Collingwood, so we

111
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: were talking a lot in coffees, and I'm just listening,

112
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: and he goes, I'm going to be really aggressive with

113
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:34,530
Speaker 4: the offence, and I think the next premiership's going to

114
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:36,810
Speaker 4: be one through offence. I thought, I like this. I

115
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:39,710
Speaker 4: get the Collingwood job, I go, I'm taking this.

116
00:04:39,850 --> 00:04:40,670
Speaker 8: Absolutely.

117
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:43,050
Speaker 5: Which you've done, and it does help you with Nick

118
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:45,890
Speaker 5: Dacos and the team. Tell us about the Dacos effect.

119
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:49,869
Speaker 4: Look, I think it's, I'd laugh this year when he's kicking,

120
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:52,369
Speaker 4: he's really taking the piss out of the game against Brisbane.

121
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:55,820
Speaker 4: He's kicking goals from everywhere and changing positions, The scoreboard

122
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,340
Speaker 4: just threw his influence. I'm in awe of him. I

123
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: really am. And I said after the game, I'm going

124
00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:05,250
Speaker 4: to tell my grandkids I coached Nick Dacos. Because this kid, he's–

125
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:09,510
Speaker 4: I coached– oh, was that Richmond with Dusty? We played

126
00:05:09,529 --> 00:05:12,830
Speaker 4: with so many greats, Brownie. And this guy, he's got

127
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:16,710
Speaker 4: all those attributes of Ablett and other parts, but he's

128
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:18,950
Speaker 4: an elite runner, absolute elite runner.

129
00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:19,050
Speaker 1: Yeah.

130
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:22,349
Speaker 4: And that's a game changer in the current footy because

131
00:05:22,610 --> 00:05:24,730
Speaker 4: he'll be here and next minute he's trying.

132
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:26,460
Speaker 6: To rest down the road. And it's high speed running too,

133
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:26,740
Speaker 6: isn't it?

134
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,380
Speaker 4: Intense.

135
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 6: So would he win a.

136
00:05:31,140 --> 00:05:33,550
Speaker 5: So Steele's side bottom was always regarded as a high

137
00:05:33,570 --> 00:05:36,070
Speaker 5: speed runner for a long period of time. Would he

138
00:05:36,630 --> 00:05:38,929
Speaker 5: be still in a running test?

139
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:41,550
Speaker 4: Well, a couple of years ago he did. He came

140
00:05:41,589 --> 00:05:44,450
Speaker 4: back from after we lost to Sydney in a prelim

141
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:45,989
Speaker 4: and he came back and won the time trial.

142
00:05:46,190 --> 00:05:46,810
Speaker 6: Yeah.

143
00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:47,290
Speaker 2: He's 21.

144
00:05:47,290 --> 00:05:47,770
Speaker 4: My God.

145
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:49,540
Speaker 5: He's amazing, isn't he?

146
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,770
Speaker 3: He's 21.

147
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:52,650
Speaker 8: What's something quirky about him that people might not know?

148
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:52,850
Speaker 5: Dirt.

149
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:55,330
Speaker 7: Has he got an OCD or does he do something

150
00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:57,770
Speaker 7: funny pre-game?

151
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:00,910
Speaker 5: He's quite a little shy.

152
00:06:00,450 --> 00:06:02,979
Speaker 4: Little young man. We love that about him.

153
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

154
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:05,260
Speaker 4: Apparently he goes over to his girlfriend's house and plays

155
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: Game Boy. I know that.

156
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: Oh, he plays Game Boy. Do you still live with

157
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:09,940
Speaker 6: mum and dad?

158
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: I think he does.

159
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: That's charming, John.

160
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: I think he does.

161
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: That's charming. Well, of course you would do that because

162
00:06:15,490 --> 00:06:18,589
Speaker 5: mum can do the washing for you.

163
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:19,710
Speaker 6: Free rents. Free rents.

164
00:06:20,490 --> 00:06:24,630
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you can't abuse it because it

165
00:06:24,670 --> 00:06:27,070
Speaker 5: must be an unbelievable feeling to have this chess piece?

166
00:06:27,790 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 5: Do you have to be careful with your coaching not

167
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: to pull the rest of the team out of whack?

168
00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: No. Yes and no. I just openly say, mate, we'll

169
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: play Nick where we need to win the game, and

170
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,060
Speaker 4: he knows that. So I often get– we have the

171
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,660
Speaker 4: team meeting, and then we have these walkthroughs, and then

172
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:46,219
Speaker 4: I get Nick with Pendles. Say, Pendles, come over here.

173
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: And we have a separate meeting. This week we're going

174
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:51,650
Speaker 4: to do this. Can you just make sure he's okay?

175
00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:54,989
Speaker 4: And so the team don't really know at times, but

176
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:56,230
Speaker 4: we make the game around Nick a lot.

177
00:06:56,410 --> 00:06:58,529
Speaker 7: Darcy Moore's been a great captain for your footy club.

178
00:06:58,610 --> 00:07:00,670
Speaker 7: Who do you see being the next heir apparent?

179
00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:04,770
Speaker 4: Well, we'd like to think there's a few. But Nick's

180
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:07,469
Speaker 4: not in our leadership group yet. And you'd think we're

181
00:07:07,529 --> 00:07:11,830
Speaker 4: probably at that stage where we're progressing towards that next

182
00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:14,510
Speaker 4: generation of who's the young one coming through. And I'd

183
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:16,380
Speaker 4: be surprised if he's not somewhere in the mark. But

184
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:20,220
Speaker 4: he's probably the obvious one because I think Darcy might

185
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: have three or four or five years left.

186
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 6: Who knows?

187
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,100
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably him.

188
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: What about Jordan Ngoi? Is he going to be back

189
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,390
Speaker 5: to his full form? Bloody hope so.

190
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:30,790
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

191
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 5: He's a star, isn't he? But I've had those groins,

192
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,260
Speaker 5: I can relate to it, and he's debilitating, that injury, groins,

193
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 5: you know, stomach issues, in terms of his power.

194
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,020
Speaker 6: And his real strength is his power.

195
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,300
Speaker 4: Yeah, we wrestled this year, probably for five, six weeks,

196
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:47,300
Speaker 4: middle of the year. He didn't train. He was not training.

197
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: He was doing straight line running and then going, oh, no,

198
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:51,010
Speaker 4: he's right to go, and put him out and go,

199
00:07:51,030 --> 00:07:52,930
Speaker 4: he's not right to go. He can only do 85%

200
00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:56,190
Speaker 4: of what he's capable of. Time will tell on that, yeah.

201
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:58,210
Speaker 2: Hey, Fly, when does Jake Stringer start?

202
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:03,130
Speaker 6: Right, just now.

203
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: Good start, Neil.

204
00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: You're really good start.

205
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm trying to trick you, but you're too sweet.

206
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,980
Speaker 6: Tell us about getting recognised now. Oh, mate.

207
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,430
Speaker 4: I was the least recognised. Well, I was like– this

208
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,230
Speaker 4: is a true story. We win a premiership and then,

209
00:08:18,370 --> 00:08:20,890
Speaker 4: you know, well done, Brownie, and well done, Acker, and Rossi,

210
00:08:20,990 --> 00:08:25,210
Speaker 4: and well done, the ball boy or the water carrier.

211
00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:27,190
Speaker 4: And then the second year, they started to know a

212
00:08:27,190 --> 00:08:29,270
Speaker 4: few more names. We went Sean Hart and all these–

213
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:34,380
Speaker 4: The third year, they'd started, this is our own supporter base.

214
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,060
Speaker 4: You're number four.

215
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 5: You're number four.

216
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:40,420
Speaker 4: And quite often they'd call me Marcus Hashcroft anyway. So

217
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:42,700
Speaker 4: I'm not used to that. And for most of my life,

218
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 4: I didn't really care about attention. But, oh, boy, that's

219
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:46,059
Speaker 4: changed now.

220
00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 7: Fly, there was some deja vu last week involving Jack Yennevan,

221
00:08:50,140 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 7: but this time you didn't have to actually put up

222
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:53,090
Speaker 7: with it.

223
00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:55,750
Speaker 5: What were you thinking? You've been there and seen it before.

224
00:08:55,770 --> 00:08:57,809
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to buy him a beer at

225
00:08:57,830 --> 00:08:58,630
Speaker 4: the pub last night.

226
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:01,740
Speaker 5: That cheeky boy.

227
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,740
Speaker 2: Yeah.

228
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,790
Speaker 4: I like cheeky. I really like cheeky. I do. I

229
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:06,450
Speaker 4: live in cheeky.

230
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:06,750
Speaker 1: Yeah.

231
00:09:06,990 --> 00:09:09,770
Speaker 6: Because you're a cheeky character.

232
00:09:09,850 --> 00:09:12,010
Speaker 4: No, I love it. And I wish I could be

233
00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: more cheeky in press conferences. My media team, Tash, is

234
00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:16,890
Speaker 4: probably going to listen to this and She tries to

235
00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:19,050
Speaker 4: rein me back in because I want to be cheeky.

236
00:09:19,150 --> 00:09:20,730
Speaker 4: I think it's good as long as it's respectful.

237
00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:21,030
Speaker 1: Yeah.

238
00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:24,489
Speaker 4: I think there's a fine line between arrogance and disrespectful

239
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:26,190
Speaker 4: and I don't like living in that space.

240
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:27,150
Speaker 6: Yeah.

241
00:09:27,290 --> 00:09:28,410
Speaker 4: But I do like cheeky.

242
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:32,860
Speaker 3: Ginnivan, so when he was with Collingwood, the whole big

243
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:34,700
Speaker 3: personality thing, that wasn't a problem.

244
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: Big personality?

245
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,620
Speaker 3: Like, you know, just his social media presence and it

246
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,060
Speaker 3: was the Guinea show a lot when he's around.

247
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,580
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's always a fine line on there. Whatever's...

248
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: attracting attention away from the team, that becomes grey. And

249
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:53,780
Speaker 4: we lived it, didn't we, Brownie? Absolutely.

250
00:09:54,330 --> 00:09:55,490
Speaker 2: Handstands.

251
00:09:55,550 --> 00:09:58,650
Speaker 6: Well, handstands are okay. It's when it starts to go

252
00:09:58,670 --> 00:09:59,150
Speaker 6: to disrespect.

253
00:09:59,170 --> 00:10:02,309
Speaker 5: Comments in the media. But he wasn't doing handstands during

254
00:10:02,350 --> 00:10:05,430
Speaker 5: a game. That was for the fans after the game.

255
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:09,330
Speaker 5: It's when it starts to cross over into– maybe insults

256
00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:10,130
Speaker 5: on opposition.

257
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:12,790
Speaker 4: Those sorts of things. I know he copped a lot

258
00:10:12,809 --> 00:10:15,209
Speaker 4: of flack because this is Acker now, leading into a

259
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,579
Speaker 4: grand final, we mentioned Nigel Lapp with broken ribs, and

260
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,540
Speaker 4: then it's like, oh, we've given away trade secrets. So

261
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:23,620
Speaker 4: when it starts to come at your team fabric, this

262
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: game's hard enough. When you tear your own apart, that's

263
00:10:25,570 --> 00:10:27,790
Speaker 4: when I know Lee in particular, he was big on that.

264
00:10:28,030 --> 00:10:31,429
Speaker 5: What about the challenges of the younger generation with social media?

265
00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:31,570
Speaker 1: Yeah.

266
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:36,330
Speaker 4: Honestly, if I could change one thing in society, and

267
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:37,949
Speaker 4: it's good to hear the government are trying to make

268
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:41,860
Speaker 4: some regulations around this. I reckon you should have identity

269
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,090
Speaker 4: for your social profile. You know, have accountability to your

270
00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:48,270
Speaker 4: social profile. You can't be, you know, sexy legs and

271
00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:51,610
Speaker 4: 69 and send you a message. I think accountability because

272
00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:53,150
Speaker 4: it's really bad.

273
00:10:53,490 --> 00:10:54,190
Speaker 5: Trolling stops.

274
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 8: People have to put their name to it, right?

275
00:10:56,620 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: Everyone's blue ticks.

276
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 6: Show your licence.

277
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,220
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have your licence and whatever attached to you.

278
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: And if you want to make a comment, then you're

279
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: accountable to that. But I think it's really bad. Like

280
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:09,470
Speaker 4: some of the stuff that I know personally that I've received,

281
00:11:09,490 --> 00:11:12,130
Speaker 4: you know, death threats and all this other stuff, you go, oh, man,

282
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:14,290
Speaker 4: what's going on here? This is not well. And I

283
00:11:14,309 --> 00:11:17,620
Speaker 4: know a lot of our players in particular have had to,

284
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,859
Speaker 4: you know, completely shut out because it's really started to

285
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: affect their life personally.

286
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:24,219
Speaker 6: Sexy legs at 69. I wish I had done that.

287
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: He missed out. Sorry.

288
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,569
Speaker 2: You went with big booty brown at hotmail.com.

289
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:32,150
Speaker 5: Sorry. Hey, Fly.

290
00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:33,530
Speaker 4: You know we all had one of those back in

291
00:11:33,550 --> 00:11:34,190
Speaker 4: the winter.

292
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:36,410
Speaker 2: I've still got a Hotmail account. What was your first

293
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:37,030
Speaker 2: Hotmail address?

294
00:11:37,050 --> 00:11:37,530
Speaker 5: Can you remember?

295
00:11:37,809 --> 00:11:39,350
Speaker 4: No, it definitely wasn't sexy.

296
00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:42,100
Speaker 5: I legit still use a Hotmail account. People giggle at me.

297
00:11:42,130 --> 00:11:42,470
Speaker 1: What is it?

298
00:11:42,929 --> 00:11:45,290
Speaker 8: Oh, it's cam underscore brown 51 at hotmail.com.

299
00:11:45,370 --> 00:11:46,210
Speaker 5: That's what I had at school.

300
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:49,420
Speaker 7: Hey, Fly, you've been the best team in the competition

301
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,780
Speaker 7: for the last couple of years at winning close games.

302
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

303
00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 8: Some people say it's luck, but it's not when you

304
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,430
Speaker 8: do it.

305
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,739
Speaker 5: So consistently.

306
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,660
Speaker 7: Well, and even this year, you know, two draws and

307
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,660
Speaker 7: you come from behind, win against North, you beat Adelaide,

308
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 7: you beat Carlton, you continued to win those close games.

309
00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:06,850
Speaker 7: Now as a coach, you probably prefer not to be

310
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:09,189
Speaker 7: in a close game, but how do you get it

311
00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:09,830
Speaker 7: done all the time?

312
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:11,830
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned some good lessons this year about what

313
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:15,350
Speaker 4: do you reward? Like we were 54 points down and

314
00:12:15,690 --> 00:12:18,890
Speaker 4: came back and it was just unbelievable. And I challenged

315
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:21,370
Speaker 4: why we're in this position more than the reward, the behaviour,

316
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:25,850
Speaker 4: and I won't do that again. We drew a game

317
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:29,550
Speaker 4: against Fremantle and I thought our effort and our want

318
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:31,930
Speaker 4: and fight was there, so I rewarded effort. How do

319
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: we keep doing it? There's definitely a method to it.

320
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:37,660
Speaker 4: You train it all the time, don't you? Yeah, we do.

321
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,380
Speaker 4: I think it's easier to come from behind than it

322
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,460
Speaker 4: is to hold leads. I think that's reality. The modern

323
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,260
Speaker 4: game is very difficult to hold a lead. You look

324
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 4: at Sydney just last weekend.

325
00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:48,219
Speaker 5: Is it because of the rules? The AFL have encouraged...

326
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: high-flow games? No, I think we take more risk. You just, like,

327
00:12:53,260 --> 00:12:55,820
Speaker 5: if I can only refer to ourselves, we're four goals down.

328
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:58,569
Speaker 5: I'd rather lose by 10. Let's just go.

329
00:12:58,590 --> 00:13:01,849
Speaker 7: Like Sydney's last quarter against GWS. They just spat forward

330
00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:02,589
Speaker 7: and rolled the dice.

331
00:13:02,650 --> 00:13:04,849
Speaker 4: And then particularly if you've got a home crowd, that

332
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:07,510
Speaker 4: momentum is like, you watch the players, they grow in

333
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:09,980
Speaker 4: an extra league. So momentum's a big thing in footy.

334
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: I'd love to know how to hold it, that four-goal

335
00:13:13,020 --> 00:13:14,980
Speaker 4: lead more, and we're going to work over the pre-season,

336
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,190
Speaker 4: potentially trying some stuff. But when you're behind, it's, yeah,

337
00:13:20,290 --> 00:13:22,010
Speaker 4: against Brisbane, that was one of our better points for

338
00:13:22,030 --> 00:13:22,310
Speaker 4: the year.

339
00:13:22,330 --> 00:13:22,930
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was amazing.

340
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:24,929
Speaker 4: Yeah, kicking three goals in four minutes, whatever it was.

341
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:26,109
Speaker 4: So those things are exciting.

342
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:27,970
Speaker 7: You've got to stay, sorry, Tino, you've got to stay

343
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:30,630
Speaker 7: calm in big moments. And I think a lot of

344
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:33,849
Speaker 7: the Collingwood players do that. They know what's going on

345
00:13:33,890 --> 00:13:35,790
Speaker 7: around them and what they are required to do. Is

346
00:13:35,850 --> 00:13:38,849
Speaker 7: that something that a mindfulness coach or psychologist works with?

347
00:13:38,950 --> 00:13:41,530
Speaker 4: No, we're just present to the moment. We talk about

348
00:13:41,550 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: just being present, you know, manage this moment really well.

349
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: We were talking about 120 minutes of the game. We

350
00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: want to manage the seconds. We got to that point

351
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,900
Speaker 4: in the last couple of years. I noticed you said

352
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,020
Speaker 4: we'd lost the aura, Bernie, halfway through the year.

353
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,740
Speaker 2: You're a son of a bitch.

354
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 6: Come on, mate.

355
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: You can't be saying that.

356
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,540
Speaker 6: That's your friend. I lost a close game.

357
00:13:56,590 --> 00:13:57,110
Speaker 5: Say sorry.

358
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:57,930
Speaker 4: One close game.

359
00:13:57,950 --> 00:13:58,770
Speaker 2: Apologise.

360
00:13:58,950 --> 00:14:01,790
Speaker 5: Well, I get criticised if I go too easy on

361
00:14:01,830 --> 00:14:02,210
Speaker 5: me boys.

362
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:03,430
Speaker 6: So I've got to be serious.

363
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:05,569
Speaker 5: I've got to be seen to be balanced and every

364
00:14:05,650 --> 00:14:08,730
Speaker 5: now and again I've got to go that far, too

365
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:11,150
Speaker 5: far that way just to balance everyone and go, oh,

366
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 5: he's not favouring me because I've got four teammates.

367
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: Why are you looking to fly?

368
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:14,819
Speaker 2: Why are you looking to fly?

369
00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 4: He wouldn't look me in the eye if he said that.

370
00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: We had lunch the day before and then he goes

371
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,910
Speaker 4: on the next night, oh, we've lost his oar. I go, no,

372
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: here we go.

373
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:21,820
Speaker 2: Come on, man.

374
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,500
Speaker 5: I thought someone's going to take a photo of me

375
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:27,730
Speaker 5: having lunch and fly. But I've got four coaches, four teammates.

376
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:30,270
Speaker 5: As AFL coach, which is pretty extraordinary.

377
00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:33,190
Speaker 4: Who's your favourite? Don't say it. Be careful.

378
00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:38,090
Speaker 5: Well, the reigning premiership coach. Yes. But who's the hardest

379
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:40,860
Speaker 5: to coach against? I know you won't answer this, but

380
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: who's your best record against?

381
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: Oh, maybe Carlton, I think.

382
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: Maybe Carlton, yeah. Oh, yes, you've had some big games.

383
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: Those Carlton games have been amazing. And this time last year,

384
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: we were both heading into prelims, Carlton up the Gabba and...

385
00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:58,970
Speaker 4: and us down here in Melbourne. And Fosse and I

386
00:14:58,990 --> 00:15:01,210
Speaker 4: spoke to each other, and we go, imagine if we

387
00:15:01,270 --> 00:15:04,270
Speaker 4: both win. Melbourne will go nuts in terms of Carver

388
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:07,550
Speaker 4: Connelly Grand Final. But we've had some incredible battles this

389
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:11,010
Speaker 4: year and last year and the year before. We just

390
00:15:11,050 --> 00:15:13,050
Speaker 4: match up really well against each other, and we've been

391
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:13,610
Speaker 4: lucky enough to get through.

392
00:15:13,630 --> 00:15:16,500
Speaker 7: If you were sitting in a cafe and a carjacking

393
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 7: flipped up in front of you, would you take off

394
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 7: after that?

395
00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: Good question.

396
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: I won my last fight by 150 metres running.

397
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:23,420
Speaker 5: The other way.

398
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: Fly, is the feeling of a close win as a

399
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,540
Speaker 3: coach better than it was as a player or the same?

400
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:35,300
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I don't recall having this many close games.

401
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:39,130
Speaker 4: We won 19 of our games decided by under a

402
00:15:39,150 --> 00:15:40,970
Speaker 4: goal in the last 18 months.

403
00:15:40,990 --> 00:15:41,370
Speaker 6: Crazy stuff.

404
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,770
Speaker 4: Amazing. Some of those wins, jeez, you feel so energised

405
00:15:45,810 --> 00:15:48,450
Speaker 4: for them. Yeah, even just personally that Brisbane game was

406
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:51,859
Speaker 4: a remarkable win. So I've got to say the coaching, yeah.

407
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,710
Speaker 3: And since the 6-6-6, it feels like big leads are

408
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:57,750
Speaker 3: gettable now. Like you can get back from 40 points.

409
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:58,250
Speaker 6: They are.

410
00:15:58,270 --> 00:15:58,790
Speaker 2: Do you feel that?

411
00:15:58,970 --> 00:16:01,530
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And that's the momentum shift that,

412
00:16:02,210 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: you know, you've got to go back to a central

413
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: position where everybody's, you know, you can't flood back. So,

414
00:16:08,140 --> 00:16:11,550
Speaker 4: you know, incentive bounces can be such a weapon now. Yeah,

415
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:12,030
Speaker 4: hard to stop.

416
00:16:12,130 --> 00:16:14,820
Speaker 8: We're seeing more coaches coaching from the boundary now.

417
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 7: Is that an advantage or I know you sort of

418
00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:19,370
Speaker 7: do a little bit of both?

419
00:16:20,050 --> 00:16:22,610
Speaker 4: I think the boundary for me is the intimate distance

420
00:16:22,990 --> 00:16:25,470
Speaker 4: connection straight away like I've got Pendles next to me

421
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: and he's about to go on Pendles make that happen

422
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:30,500
Speaker 4: do that whatever he's asking me questions and you can

423
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,940
Speaker 4: action it from the box you're through a phone and

424
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,580
Speaker 4: hoping to get some you don't see eye contact you

425
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: don't see tone you don't see energy.

426
00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: You must have trust in your coaches though you.

427
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:41,690
Speaker 4: Can't do it down there without that you can't and

428
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:43,850
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be doing that without the enormous trust of

429
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:48,890
Speaker 4: Hayden Skipworth and Scott Selwood and Ruffy and Leper with

430
00:16:48,930 --> 00:16:50,570
Speaker 4: his strategy stuff so you've got to have that if

431
00:16:50,590 --> 00:16:53,180
Speaker 4: you don't have that you can't do it but So, yeah,

432
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 4: we have a lot of strategy before the game, funnily enough,

433
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:55,940
Speaker 4: that we go to.

434
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,580
Speaker 7: So if you want to look at a holistic approach

435
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:01,820
Speaker 7: to the game, you'll duck upstairs to do that?

436
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: Funnily enough, I've got vision behind me.

437
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,060
Speaker 3: Right.

438
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,419
Speaker 4: And I know my eyes aren't great as what they

439
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 4: used to, but you don't miss too much. You miss

440
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,869
Speaker 4: probably intimacy of the stoppages, which you can go back

441
00:17:11,890 --> 00:17:14,010
Speaker 4: and look at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you don't miss much.

442
00:17:14,070 --> 00:17:18,369
Speaker 4: And I prefer the contact and the energy and the

443
00:17:18,430 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: go get them and the... Yeah, that's my approach.

444
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:22,940
Speaker 5: So when you're watching the game, what do you look for?

445
00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:24,780
Speaker 5: Do you look for the flow? Do you look for

446
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 5: the contest? What's your main priority? You're standing on the sideline,

447
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:30,250
Speaker 5: I guess, as we all go and watch the footy,

448
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:34,169
Speaker 5: don't we? And everyone watches through a different lens. What

449
00:17:34,190 --> 00:17:36,470
Speaker 5: do you mainly look for? Oh, I look for connection.

450
00:17:37,050 --> 00:17:40,850
Speaker 5: Connection in defence and offence. And later in the year,

451
00:17:40,890 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 5: I felt like we tightened the screws on how we

452
00:17:42,910 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 5: wanted to move.

453
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:45,380
Speaker 4: The ball, which helped us defend better.

454
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:45,610
Speaker 1: And....

455
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,540
Speaker 4: We had a couple of moments this year where we strayed.

456
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: I use that language like a strayed cat. Don't stray

457
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:55,540
Speaker 4: from the plan. If you're going to kick it pointing

458
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 4: that way, kick it that way. Where are you guys

459
00:17:57,700 --> 00:17:59,510
Speaker 4: pointing that way? And then all of a sudden we're

460
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:02,230
Speaker 4: all over the shop. So I look for those connection pieces.

461
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:03,610
Speaker 6: Well, Lee was big on that.

462
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:07,590
Speaker 5: And I could sense, I was a younger fellow coming through,

463
00:18:07,609 --> 00:18:09,490
Speaker 5: and Fly's one of the experienced guys. I could sense

464
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:12,710
Speaker 5: the frustration with some of the veterans at times when

465
00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:15,690
Speaker 5: we would always, quite often when we'd play at home,

466
00:18:16,030 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 5: the opposition team would train after us at the Gabba.

467
00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 6: We'd allow them to train. So they'd be standing on

468
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,100
Speaker 6: the sidelines the night before a game.

469
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 5: And Lee would practice our kick-out drill in front of

470
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:30,500
Speaker 5: the opposition team, and the veterans would get shitty.

471
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,850
Speaker 6: You know, like, don't worry about it, boys. Don't worry

472
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,770
Speaker 6: about it.

473
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:35,750
Speaker 5: If we know what each other are doing, I don't

474
00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:37,070
Speaker 5: care what the opposition knows.

475
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:39,910
Speaker 3: Fly, I'm glad you just heard his lethal impersonation because

476
00:18:39,950 --> 00:18:41,030
Speaker 3: it's pretty good, man.

477
00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:41,629
Speaker 5: Have you got one?

478
00:18:41,670 --> 00:18:43,790
Speaker 4: No, but can I tell a story about every game

479
00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 4: that we play together? He's a 19-year-old kid with his

480
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 4: shaved head.

481
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

482
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,660
Speaker 4: Hadn't changed much in a long time. We were about

483
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,420
Speaker 4: to run out. He's breathing fire. I used to just

484
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,420
Speaker 4: like having fun. So I'd be cracking jokes and things.

485
00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:58,870
Speaker 4: He grabbed me just before we go through the race.

486
00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:03,950
Speaker 4: Every single game. I mean, my little mate. I won't

487
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:06,590
Speaker 4: do your voice, but he goes, run and buy me, fly,

488
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: run and buy me. And so this is what I knew.

489
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 4: So I'd get out there, and at the start of

490
00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 4: the game, you used to come and rough me up,

491
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: and my opponent was trying to rough me up. So

492
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: I'd start on one half-forward flank and run across the

493
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,580
Speaker 4: other side, and as I'm running, my opponent's trying to

494
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:25,629
Speaker 4: chase me, and then I'd hear this, huh! LAUGHTER He

495
00:19:25,690 --> 00:19:28,709
Speaker 4: dropped the elbow into his ribs every single game.

496
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:29,330
Speaker 5: How good.

497
00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:30,690
Speaker 4: Every single game.

498
00:19:30,790 --> 00:19:35,130
Speaker 5: Oh, my God. Who did the best lethal impression? Because

499
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:37,629
Speaker 5: Sam takes great pride in it. So last year he

500
00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:39,150
Speaker 5: walked out as the Logies host.

501
00:19:39,550 --> 00:19:40,129
Speaker 6: This is Peggy.

502
00:19:40,830 --> 00:19:42,030
Speaker 2: Peggy says hi, by the way.

503
00:19:42,190 --> 00:19:44,810
Speaker 6: Yeah. His first two steps, or his first step.

504
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,530
Speaker 5: He did as Lee, he's got an unbelievable Lee Matthews walk.

505
00:19:47,970 --> 00:19:49,669
Speaker 6: This year he went to the next level.

506
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:49,910
Speaker 8: He walked.

507
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:53,420
Speaker 5: Out the whole way to the microphone as Lee Matthews

508
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:56,300
Speaker 5: which a lot of people wouldn't have realised.

509
00:19:56,140 --> 00:20:00,030
Speaker 3: It was just pretty much for me Dynasty teammate to

510
00:20:00,109 --> 00:20:01,430
Speaker 3: do a drinking session.

511
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,030
Speaker 4: With I know not Paki I know Rossi and I

512
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:07,310
Speaker 4: had some great times and footy trips and we'd nestle

513
00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:08,710
Speaker 4: in and let all the young guys do all the

514
00:20:08,730 --> 00:20:10,590
Speaker 4: crazy stuff and finally we used to run the show

515
00:20:10,650 --> 00:20:12,830
Speaker 4: and so when you got got to run the show

516
00:20:12,970 --> 00:20:14,949
Speaker 4: others had to do all the you know there's consequences

517
00:20:14,970 --> 00:20:16,970
Speaker 4: so bossy and i had some good time but we

518
00:20:17,030 --> 00:20:19,570
Speaker 4: we had a great time in new orleans with brownie

519
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:23,780
Speaker 4: oh can i tell you nothing's off limits this is

520
00:20:23,859 --> 00:20:27,939
Speaker 4: unbelievable this is this is your life brownie um no

521
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: we were new new orleans and having a good time

522
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:32,690
Speaker 4: and about three days in we'd get up and I

523
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:34,810
Speaker 4: said I'd room together, go down, and normally Brownie would

524
00:20:34,830 --> 00:20:36,450
Speaker 4: be at the bar early just to keep it warm

525
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:40,389
Speaker 4: and make sure the tap's still running. And one day

526
00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:41,910
Speaker 4: he's not there. I'm going, oh, no, we're in trouble.

527
00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:43,889
Speaker 4: Brownie's not at the bar. And so we went and

528
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:47,460
Speaker 4: got our Subway for breakfast, lunch, and all of a

529
00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:50,060
Speaker 4: sudden out of this big barber shop comes big John Brown,

530
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,250
Speaker 4: him and Tim Donning. I'm going, is that Brownie? And

531
00:20:54,290 --> 00:20:56,150
Speaker 4: what he's done is he's gone to a barber, he's

532
00:20:56,270 --> 00:20:59,970
Speaker 4: shaved his head bald and had the barbell mohawk like

533
00:20:59,990 --> 00:21:01,030
Speaker 4: fall off.

534
00:21:01,050 --> 00:21:02,930
Speaker 5: Do you ever find out that?

535
00:21:03,490 --> 00:21:04,270
Speaker 6: I'll be able to give it.

536
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:05,370
Speaker 8: I'll be able to find it.

537
00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:07,010
Speaker 6: I'll be able to give it to you.

538
00:21:07,030 --> 00:21:07,850
Speaker 8: It was unbelievable.

539
00:21:07,869 --> 00:21:10,050
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had the mohawk and Tim Nodding had one too?

540
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:12,710
Speaker 6: That's right. Possum got a peroxide blonde one.

541
00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:13,950
Speaker 5: Like Mr. T.

542
00:21:13,970 --> 00:21:14,689
Speaker 4: He looks like Mr. T.

543
00:21:14,770 --> 00:21:17,430
Speaker 6: Mr. T. So that was our footy trip haircut.

544
00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:19,550
Speaker 3: Fly, how do you think your old mate is going

545
00:21:19,609 --> 00:21:20,530
Speaker 3: in the media industry?

546
00:21:20,550 --> 00:21:21,110
Speaker 2: You like his work?

547
00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:24,230
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's going well. No, he's going well.

548
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:24,670
Speaker 6: What is this?

549
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:28,150
Speaker 2: Some highlights. And I'll just play you a little grab.

550
00:21:28,210 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: Any criticism you have, bring it up. Just have a listen.

551
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: I think he's lost his mojo, hasn't he?

552
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 5: And they've really been able to do it with a

553
00:21:33,940 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: makeshift forward line. Charles come from the Gold Coast Suns,

554
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:41,580
Speaker 5: and obviously Jack Gunston has come back from Brisbane. They've

555
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: done really well, but they wouldn't... Mate, that wasn't... Good play, Gunston. Mate,

556
00:21:45,820 --> 00:21:46,500
Speaker 5: that wasn't... No, no, no.

557
00:21:46,540 --> 00:21:49,510
Speaker 6: LAUGHTER That was a G. That was a G.

558
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,170
Speaker 5: I've got a distinctive voice.

559
00:21:51,530 --> 00:21:53,970
Speaker 2: Any feedback for that, Brad?

560
00:21:54,090 --> 00:21:55,510
Speaker 4: You said, we've lost our aura.

561
00:21:55,550 --> 00:22:00,250
Speaker 5: That's right, yeah. I'm on the way out. Quickly, this

562
00:22:00,350 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 5: is a podcast. Obviously, some people do listen to it.

563
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: Yes, mate.

564
00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: We got career best numbers last week.

565
00:22:05,820 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: We do.

566
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,940
Speaker 5: Career best numbers. You were a pioneer because you were

567
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 5: an actor, I think. Did you and Akra have a

568
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,630
Speaker 5: podcast or one of the first ones?

569
00:22:13,650 --> 00:22:16,030
Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't called a podcast. We actually had a

570
00:22:16,090 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: pre-recorded show that went to, yeah, around the country.

571
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:19,379
Speaker 3: What?

572
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:20,140
Speaker 6: What was it called?

573
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: Akra Makka Show. Oh!

574
00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:23,970
Speaker 2: Oh, boy.

575
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:25,010
Speaker 6: That's amazing.

576
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:29,490
Speaker 4: On what station? We went through the– no, I'm not

577
00:22:29,530 --> 00:22:30,050
Speaker 4: sure what now.

578
00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:30,980
Speaker 6: Was it Triple M?

579
00:22:31,150 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: No, we ended up there, but it went across mainly Queensland.

580
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,979
Speaker 2: I kill for highlights of.

581
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,100
Speaker 6: The Akramaka show, man.

582
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,420
Speaker 4: Well, there's many highlights. Not many we can put there.

583
00:22:41,619 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 6: Kicked off, eh?

584
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: I know I said to him only last year. I said, okay,

585
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:46,350
Speaker 4: you know it was the Akramaka. You know what? If

586
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,389
Speaker 4: we didn't, it would be the Macaronacca show. He didn't

587
00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:49,709
Speaker 4: like that.

588
00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:51,389
Speaker 2: Mate, thank you so much for coming in.

589
00:22:51,410 --> 00:22:53,669
Speaker 3: We're going to end with 20 questions in 60 seconds.

590
00:22:53,690 --> 00:22:54,290
Speaker 6: Oh, boy, okay.

591
00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:56,290
Speaker 2: And, hey, Beck, you might want to get a tight

592
00:22:56,690 --> 00:22:57,430
Speaker 2: shot on his face.

593
00:22:57,470 --> 00:22:58,830
Speaker 4: That's a lot of pressure.

594
00:22:58,850 --> 00:23:02,050
Speaker 2: Fly, this is serious shit. These questions are going to

595
00:23:02,090 --> 00:23:04,230
Speaker 2: make Ray Martin look like a putz. Do you understand?

596
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:05,070
Speaker 6: Okay, here we go.

597
00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:07,270
Speaker 2: Quick answers.

598
00:23:07,450 --> 00:23:08,580
Speaker 4: Can I say more than one word?

599
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

600
00:23:09,450 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: But we'll move on real quick. Dogs or cats?

601
00:23:14,220 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 6: Cats.

602
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:15,500
Speaker 2: Beer or wine?

603
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:17,010
Speaker 4: Both.

604
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:18,450
Speaker 2: God or science?

605
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:20,250
Speaker 5: Science.

606
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:21,570
Speaker 2: Kick or hand pass?

607
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:22,350
Speaker 1: Kick.

608
00:23:22,369 --> 00:23:24,210
Speaker 2: I'm going to turn your mic up so it sounds

609
00:23:24,230 --> 00:23:29,100
Speaker 2: more dramatic. Who's most likely to say a smart-ass comment

610
00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: at a team meeting?

611
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 4: Steel side bottle.

612
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:32,860
Speaker 6: Yes.

613
00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:35,379
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about disabling that stupid annoying camera

614
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,260
Speaker 3: in the coach's box?

615
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

616
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: If you could bring one person back from the dead,

617
00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:40,649
Speaker 2: who would it be?

618
00:23:41,540 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 4: Muhammad Ali.

619
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:45,850
Speaker 5: Oh, yes.

620
00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: If you could choose between another flag or keeping a

621
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,570
Speaker 3: big toe, which would you choose?

622
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:50,590
Speaker 6: A flag.

623
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,910
Speaker 2: Same question, but with a single testicle.

624
00:23:52,990 --> 00:24:02,010
Speaker 4: I'll keep the testicle.

625
00:24:02,109 --> 00:24:04,590
Speaker 2: Who's the coolest celebrity Collingwood fan you've ever met?

626
00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:05,530
Speaker 4: Oh.

627
00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:06,990
Speaker 6: Rob Lowe.

628
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: Oh. She's... No, I'm going to pass on that.

629
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:12,780
Speaker 2: Do you have a good singing voice?

630
00:24:13,180 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 6: No.

631
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: When you're alone in the car with your dog shit

632
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: singing voice, what band do you like to sing to?

633
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:19,500
Speaker 4: Chili Peppers.

634
00:24:19,980 --> 00:24:24,580
Speaker 2: Yes. Do acts of breathtaking kindness make you cry?

635
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 5: Yes.

636
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:27,699
Speaker 3: If you had a dream where you and your partner

637
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: were actual magpies and you had a magpie baby but

638
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,300
Speaker 3: the head of it had a human head.

639
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: And it was Eddie McGuire, would you tell your therapist?

640
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,140
Speaker 4: LAUGHTER Yes.

641
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,740
Speaker 2: Do you know what a nipple cripple is?

642
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,020
Speaker 1: Yes.

643
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:44,500
Speaker 2: Is it true that you once gave the Prime Minister

644
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: a nipple cripple?

645
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:45,580
Speaker 1: No.

646
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:47,220
Speaker 2: Do you take care of your nipples?

647
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 6: Yes.

648
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,410
Speaker 3: What dirty drive-through do you eat alone in your car,

649
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:53,170
Speaker 3: secretly away from your family?

650
00:24:53,369 --> 00:24:56,010
Speaker 4: Lots of Macca's ice creams on the way home.

651
00:24:56,570 --> 00:24:57,390
Speaker 6: Sunday operator.

652
00:24:57,770 --> 00:24:59,890
Speaker 2: Ever legally done magic mushrooms?

653
00:25:00,270 --> 00:25:00,470
Speaker 1: No.

654
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:07,090
Speaker 3: Do you want to illegally do magic mushrooms?

655
00:25:07,109 --> 00:25:09,030
Speaker 2: Final question. Favourite Spice Girl?

656
00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:11,620
Speaker 6: Sporty.

657
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:11,940
Speaker 5: Yeah.

658
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,660
Speaker 6: There you go, mate.

659
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,020
Speaker 5: He's posh every day of the week.

660
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 4: Well answered.

661
00:25:15,619 --> 00:25:17,659
Speaker 2: Flyer, man, we love this so much. Thank you for

662
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:18,030
Speaker 2: coming in.

663
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:18,700
Speaker 6: Thank you, mate.

664
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,330
Speaker 4: Thanks, guys.

665
00:25:19,369 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: Back in a second. Welcome back to Browdy's Podcast, man.

666
00:25:22,830 --> 00:25:24,150
Speaker 2: I just love that guy, Flyers.

667
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:24,830
Speaker 6: He's the best.

668
00:25:24,850 --> 00:25:26,690
Speaker 3: He just makes you feel relaxed or something, John.

669
00:25:26,869 --> 00:25:28,310
Speaker 6: He does. He's an amazing man.

670
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 5: I can't wait. We always catch up on the Sunday after...

671
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:34,190
Speaker 5: the grand final, the premiership boys. And the great thing

672
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:37,050
Speaker 5: about playing in premierships is that you don't see the

673
00:25:37,090 --> 00:25:39,189
Speaker 5: boys much. You know, we all go on and we

674
00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:43,130
Speaker 5: lead our different lives, but the premierships are the glue that.

675
00:25:43,090 --> 00:25:43,690
Speaker 6: Ties you together.

676
00:25:43,710 --> 00:25:46,050
Speaker 5: They bind you, don't they? And you're like brothers, you know,

677
00:25:46,270 --> 00:25:48,290
Speaker 5: and you sort of come together and have a beer.

678
00:25:48,310 --> 00:25:49,650
Speaker 5: So I can't wait to see him on the Sunday

679
00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:53,290
Speaker 5: after the grand final. He's a great team man. I'm

680
00:25:53,310 --> 00:25:56,820
Speaker 5: always reluctant to get too much into the team-building stories

681
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 5: and the Mad Monday stories and the footy trip stories,

682
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: but in terms of a positive, he was our social coordinator. Yep.

683
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 6: He was our glue.

684
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:04,820
Speaker 1: Really?

685
00:26:04,940 --> 00:26:07,139
Speaker 6: Oh, he was. He organised all the things.

686
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,230
Speaker 1: Yes.

687
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: So it's no surprise to me that he has a

688
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 5: team that's so connected.

689
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: Yep.

690
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:14,620
Speaker 6: And obviously they won the premiership last year, so that's him.

691
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:15,460
Speaker 6: He lives that. Yep.

692
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:15,660
Speaker 5: Don?

693
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,419
Speaker 8: Big game this weekend. Big game tonight. You're about to

694
00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:20,139
Speaker 8: fly to Adelaide.

695
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 6: I'm about to fly to Adelaide.

696
00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:23,570
Speaker 5: Can't wait, actually, because I'm expecting... Your response from Port.

697
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:26,190
Speaker 5: I'm expecting a response. I think most of the footy

698
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:28,970
Speaker 5: community thinks Hawthorne will just go over and roll over them.

699
00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:32,139
Speaker 5: But you expect a response, don't you? That's the general consensus.

700
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,980
Speaker 8: And Kenny Hinkley over the journey, they've had bad losses.

701
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

702
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,780
Speaker 8: And they've come out a galvanised group.

703
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

704
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 8: And won.

705
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 5: So.

706
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,450
Speaker 7: Semi-finals, you know, over there, there's going to be a

707
00:26:43,550 --> 00:26:46,850
Speaker 7: lot of pressure on Port Adelaide to come out snarling,

708
00:26:46,890 --> 00:26:49,870
Speaker 7: and I think they will. I don't think that they

709
00:26:50,270 --> 00:26:51,890
Speaker 7: are good enough to beat the Hawks. If the Hawks

710
00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:54,190
Speaker 7: play at any sort of level like they've been playing

711
00:26:54,210 --> 00:26:55,550
Speaker 7: the last six weeks, they should win.

712
00:26:55,710 --> 00:26:55,970
Speaker 2: But.

713
00:26:56,530 --> 00:26:56,730
Speaker 5: But.

714
00:26:57,510 --> 00:27:01,500
Speaker 7: Jack Inovan's comments, you know, or his response to Brodie

715
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 7: Grundy's message, see you in 14 days. If you're Ken Hinckley,

716
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: you're using that as motivation.

717
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:08,380
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yeah, I think so.

718
00:27:08,540 --> 00:27:08,780
Speaker 4: No doubt.

719
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 5: And I think Kenny plays on the emotions. He's a

720
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,330
Speaker 5: fire and brimstone coach. I remember watching Kenny as a

721
00:27:14,350 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: young fellow when he was coaching Camp Nou. and more

722
00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:19,939
Speaker 5: like going to his quarter-time and three-quarter-time address. And he

723
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:22,770
Speaker 5: was firing Brimstone, and that's what you love. And I

724
00:27:22,790 --> 00:27:25,290
Speaker 5: think this is the time that you pull that ripcord.

725
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:27,310
Speaker 5: You know, you go for the emotion, and you get

726
00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:29,429
Speaker 5: the boys charged up, and you use the energy of

727
00:27:29,470 --> 00:27:29,869
Speaker 5: the crowd.

728
00:27:29,869 --> 00:27:31,629
Speaker 2: $ 50, 000.

729
00:27:30,310 --> 00:27:32,470
Speaker 6: At Adelaide Oval, it'll be magnificent.

730
00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:34,450
Speaker 8: Do you test out Butters' ribs?

731
00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 6: Absolutely. Absolutely. Without a shadow of a doubt. You test

732
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:39,780
Speaker 6: him early, and you challenge him.

733
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,899
Speaker 5: Because knowing full well, Zach Butters goes into this game

734
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:44,740
Speaker 5: with a shitload of anxiety.

735
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:45,780
Speaker 6: He's a tough prick.

736
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,070
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of anxiety because he knows that

737
00:27:49,109 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 5: he is now committed. Who didn't? So it's like the

738
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 5: jet that's on the runway that gets past the... Point

739
00:27:54,980 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: of no return. Point of no return.

740
00:27:56,020 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 8: You're taken off.

741
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,419
Speaker 6: You've got to take off.

742
00:27:57,540 --> 00:28:01,330
Speaker 5: And he knows he has to play four quarters no

743
00:28:01,369 --> 00:28:03,490
Speaker 5: matter what. Even if he's got a jumper full of

744
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:07,709
Speaker 5: broken ribs, he has to play four quarters. Otherwise, reputationally,

745
00:28:08,130 --> 00:28:09,790
Speaker 5: that causes a lot of damage.

746
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:11,950
Speaker 2: A jumper full of broken ribs. That's a great saying.

747
00:28:11,970 --> 00:28:14,100
Speaker 3: Who did Kenny leave off the bench, leave on the

748
00:28:14,140 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: bench for like seven minutes last night?

749
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:17,700
Speaker 5: The great Horn Francis. What's all that about, Kenny?

750
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 6: Horn Francis starts. Now, Broads, You've embarrassed yourself last week.

751
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 5: You did, bro. You're an allegiance supporter. You've embarrassed yourself

752
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:27,510
Speaker 5: further again by wearing an old woolen jumper. You didn't

753
00:28:27,530 --> 00:28:30,370
Speaker 5: even watch it. What do you expect from Horne Francis?

754
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:31,510
Speaker 5: Does he start on the ground?

755
00:28:31,609 --> 00:28:33,310
Speaker 6: Because that was a miss by Kenny last week.

756
00:28:33,470 --> 00:28:33,950
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

757
00:28:34,010 --> 00:28:35,570
Speaker 1: And to channel that and to get us across the

758
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:37,189
Speaker 1: line tonight, I've worn the prison bars because I think

759
00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:38,070
Speaker 1: we need to go old school.

760
00:28:38,170 --> 00:28:39,350
Speaker 2: That's Mareno wool, brother.

761
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:41,450
Speaker 1: I think we need to go man on man. play

762
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:44,170
Speaker 1: old school football and be hard and be hard at

763
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:45,730
Speaker 1: the footy. And you know what? If they're going out

764
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,470
Speaker 1: to butters, send someone who's, you know, hard as a

765
00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: cat's head, send Drew, send wines, send them to their opposition.

766
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:52,980
Speaker 2: Go, you know what?

767
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,860
Speaker 1: If you want to play like that, Charlie Dixon was

768
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: absolutely hopeless last week. The man's six foot seven and

769
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,460
Speaker 1: 115 kilos. Send the man out there to take out

770
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,900
Speaker 1: a body and say, you know what? If you're going

771
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: to do it, we're going to do it too. And

772
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:05,090
Speaker 1: he's the best person to do it.

773
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:07,010
Speaker 3: Fix your collar. I just want to, it's my OCD

774
00:29:07,050 --> 00:29:09,510
Speaker 3: is killing me. Do you know where these Merino wall jumpers.

775
00:29:09,890 --> 00:29:10,570
Speaker 2: Moths eat them?

776
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:12,550
Speaker 6: Do they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Be careful.

777
00:29:12,790 --> 00:29:15,190
Speaker 1: I put this in my suit, my suit bag. I

778
00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:17,010
Speaker 1: put this in the suit bag because it's so valuable.

779
00:29:17,030 --> 00:29:17,370
Speaker 2: Look at it.

780
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:18,210
Speaker 4: How stunning is it?

781
00:29:18,210 --> 00:29:21,290
Speaker 7: Oh, I think Charlie Dixon will respond. I mean, he's

782
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 7: a proud guy. He's played well in big finals before

783
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,740
Speaker 7: for Port Adelaide. And with no Sam Frost, who the

784
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:29,940
Speaker 7: Hawks have been going beautifully, and everyone's talking about everyone

785
00:29:29,980 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 7: except Sam Frost.

786
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,530
Speaker 5: He's been rock solid back there all year.

787
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,170
Speaker 2: All year.

788
00:29:34,590 --> 00:29:36,209
Speaker 8: Now young Jai Sarong comes in.

789
00:29:36,730 --> 00:29:38,469
Speaker 5: Big ask in a big final.

790
00:29:38,850 --> 00:29:40,300
Speaker 6: What do you expect, Sam? dog?

791
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:43,900
Speaker 7: Take your Hawthorne colours off for a second. I'm just

792
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,290
Speaker 7: expecting Sammy Mitchell won't change anything. A thing about the

793
00:29:47,330 --> 00:29:48,990
Speaker 7: way that they've prepared or the way they want to

794
00:29:50,010 --> 00:29:53,090
Speaker 7: transition the ball, he'll encourage them to take the game on, run, carry,

795
00:29:53,350 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 7: keep it in motion, be hard. Maybe Weddle has to

796
00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 7: go back and play a key position, which will take

797
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 7: away a little bit of their run and carry. But

798
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:05,460
Speaker 7: if they play at the level they played last week

799
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,020
Speaker 7: against the Doggies, they beat Port.

800
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: Yep.

801
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 8: That's as simple as that.

802
00:30:08,810 --> 00:30:10,390
Speaker 2: Minimum, it's got to be a good game for the

803
00:30:10,450 --> 00:30:11,610
Speaker 2: reason we just discussed.

804
00:30:11,730 --> 00:30:13,350
Speaker 6: Who's your favourite player for Hawthorne?

805
00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:14,070
Speaker 1: Um.

806
00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:16,150
Speaker 5: Probably Connor McDonald.

807
00:30:16,510 --> 00:30:17,830
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a star, isn't he?

808
00:30:17,890 --> 00:30:20,110
Speaker 7: He is, and he's been underrated this year. He's hitting

809
00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:23,190
Speaker 7: the scoreboard. He gets up high, uses the footy well.

810
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:24,070
Speaker 5: He's hard.

811
00:30:24,110 --> 00:30:27,270
Speaker 7: He's a bit of an energiser bunny as well, like

812
00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:31,190
Speaker 7: Wizard and like Kinevan. Yeah, really, really like him, and

813
00:30:31,210 --> 00:30:32,490
Speaker 7: he's only 21 years of age.

814
00:30:32,620 --> 00:30:35,340
Speaker 2: Remind me who the winner plays in the prelim. Which

815
00:30:35,380 --> 00:30:35,860
Speaker 2: side is it?

816
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: Sydney.

817
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,060
Speaker 1: Shit.

818
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:38,140
Speaker 5: Next Friday night.

819
00:30:38,460 --> 00:30:38,860
Speaker 6: Jesus.

820
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: Now, John, it feels like your boys could be underdogs. Yeah.

821
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,300
Speaker 5: They are underdogs, I think, if you look at the

822
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:50,020
Speaker 5: betting market. But I think these two teams' best is

823
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,020
Speaker 5: the best in the competition. So it could be an

824
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,180
Speaker 5: absolute belter. If both teams come to play, no doubt

825
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: about it. So I think they're the two, in terms

826
00:30:58,530 --> 00:31:02,070
Speaker 5: of real form, the two form teams in the second

827
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:05,070
Speaker 5: half of the season. And obviously, they had their losses

828
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:06,850
Speaker 5: along the way and they have their bad quarters. But

829
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:09,330
Speaker 5: It could be an absolute beauty. I think the challenge

830
00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:12,190
Speaker 5: will be for Brisbane. If Jack Payne doesn't come up,

831
00:31:13,070 --> 00:31:16,290
Speaker 5: who's going to cope with Jesse Hogan? And Toby Green

832
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:18,810
Speaker 5: you'd expect a response to. He was very quiet last week.

833
00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:22,450
Speaker 5: So I think the key to Brisbane will be those

834
00:31:22,490 --> 00:31:24,530
Speaker 5: two match-ups, especially if they can just qual-win.

835
00:31:24,810 --> 00:31:27,890
Speaker 7: I think the big advantage that Brisbane have over GWS,

836
00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:31,930
Speaker 7: the GWS-Sydney game was brutal from the start till the end.

837
00:31:31,950 --> 00:31:32,630
Speaker 2: The best.

838
00:31:32,830 --> 00:31:35,570
Speaker 7: Whereas Brisbane had the luxury almost to put the cue

839
00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:37,860
Speaker 7: in the rack In the second half, and people say, oh,

840
00:31:37,890 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 7: Carlton played better.

841
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:39,940
Speaker 5: It was a live kill.

842
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:40,820
Speaker 6: It was a live kill.

843
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:44,460
Speaker 8: They got him early, and then they managed some players' time.

844
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 7: They took the foot off the pedal. They got through

845
00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:49,380
Speaker 7: relatively unscathed except for Payne. That could be quite telling

846
00:31:49,910 --> 00:31:50,450
Speaker 7: this week.

847
00:31:50,970 --> 00:31:53,390
Speaker 3: Are you flying to Sydney as well this weekend?

848
00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:55,190
Speaker 6: No, I'm going to go. home for the weekend, then

849
00:31:55,210 --> 00:31:56,410
Speaker 6: I'm going to come back for a fortnight.

850
00:31:56,450 --> 00:31:59,310
Speaker 8: Oh, he's back in town for two weeks, baby.

851
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:00,510
Speaker 2: You know what that means?

852
00:32:00,530 --> 00:32:01,310
Speaker 5: Drinking session.

853
00:32:01,350 --> 00:32:02,190
Speaker 6: Family-less.

854
00:32:02,210 --> 00:32:02,670
Speaker 2: Family-less.

855
00:32:02,730 --> 00:32:05,210
Speaker 3: Do you know how many bottles of Johnny Blue he has?

856
00:32:05,250 --> 00:32:06,730
Speaker 3: Because people pay him in Johnny Blue.

857
00:32:06,830 --> 00:32:07,210
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.

858
00:32:07,230 --> 00:32:08,410
Speaker 2: And I know where he hides them, dog.

859
00:32:08,450 --> 00:32:08,780
Speaker 1: Really?

860
00:32:08,910 --> 00:32:09,150
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.

861
00:32:09,170 --> 00:32:09,950
Speaker 5: He's got the stash.

862
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,450
Speaker 4: Oh, yes.

863
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,140
Speaker 6: There's not much of that bottle left.

864
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,140
Speaker 5: Are you getting called up at all this weekend?

865
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,850
Speaker 6: No, I won't be.

866
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 8: I've got the VFL preliminary finals tomorrow.

867
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:22,700
Speaker 7: And that's... Yeah, interesting because Southport.

868
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:23,260
Speaker 6: Are playing Footscray.

869
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: Son of a bitch.

870
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 7: And Brisbane are playing Werribee. So if both Queensland sides win,

871
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: the grand final is.

872
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: Going to be up in Brisbane.

873
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:33,900
Speaker 7: It's the VFL grand final, but it won't be in Icon.

874
00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:34,740
Speaker 5: It'll be in Brisbane.

875
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:37,090
Speaker 6: It's never been done before. Well, it's not far away

876
00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:38,850
Speaker 6: until the AFL Reserve starts.

877
00:32:39,810 --> 00:32:41,850
Speaker 5: Great weekend of footy. I love this weekend of footy.

878
00:32:41,870 --> 00:32:43,130
Speaker 5: There's always surprises.

Speaker 3: Brownies Podcast. Now, I want to apologise to you. I've

883
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:56,450
Speaker 3: made a lot of fun of you just making a

884
00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:57,910
Speaker 3: verbal mistake.

885
00:32:57,950 --> 00:32:58,990
Speaker 6: Yeah, verbal diarrhoea.

886
00:32:59,170 --> 00:33:00,469
Speaker 2: The whole Gunston thing was too much.

887
00:33:00,510 --> 00:33:02,650
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was one letter. It was one letter.

888
00:33:02,910 --> 00:33:03,390
Speaker 6: And you know what?

889
00:33:03,410 --> 00:33:05,510
Speaker 3: He's not the only person in history that's done that.

890
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: The Carrie Bickmore one was famous.

891
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:11,970
Speaker 2: You're watching The Project.

892
00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:14,260
Speaker 9: The airline price wars are heating up again and we're

893
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,020
Speaker 9: being told fair discounting is as aggressive as it's ever been.

894
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,860
Speaker 9: Virgin's targeting key corporate routes, hoping to win over Qantas customers.

895
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,790
Speaker 2: That was a big one.

896
00:33:23,810 --> 00:33:24,620
Speaker 4: That was a monster.

897
00:33:28,610 --> 00:33:30,990
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, right. It's one of the all-time greats. That

898
00:33:31,010 --> 00:33:31,870
Speaker 2: was years ago, mate.

899
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 6: I'm starting to get into it.

900
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:34,710
Speaker 2: It's so good.

901
00:33:34,890 --> 00:33:35,110
Speaker 1: Eddie?

902
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:36,870
Speaker 2: Eddie's fallible.

903
00:33:37,530 --> 00:33:40,010
Speaker 5: Oh, with the Adam Goodes one?

904
00:33:40,050 --> 00:33:40,630
Speaker 4: No, mate, no.

905
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:42,510
Speaker 6: Oh, jeez, I was going to say. We're not going

906
00:33:42,530 --> 00:33:43,690
Speaker 6: to go down that route, are we? Come on.

907
00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:46,790
Speaker 2: Eddie is talking to Cain Corns. When Cain used to play.

908
00:33:47,330 --> 00:33:49,650
Speaker 3: And just see if you can pick anything sus here.

909
00:33:49,670 --> 00:33:50,170
Speaker 5: Congratulations.

910
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:50,890
Speaker 8: Go and have a rub.

911
00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:51,710
Speaker 6: Sing the song.

912
00:33:51,770 --> 00:33:53,670
Speaker 5: Enjoy yourself. All those things, mate. You might have to

913
00:33:53,690 --> 00:33:55,230
Speaker 5: have two rubs being an old Cain Corns.

914
00:34:00,130 --> 00:34:01,250
Speaker 2: Mate, that is straight out.

915
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's straight out.

916
00:34:03,230 --> 00:34:05,460
Speaker 8: That's poor Meadows, kind of slipping into the conference.

917
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,820
Speaker 6: He just slipped in there.

918
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,020
Speaker 5: Isn't that gorgeous stuff?

919
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:08,620
Speaker 6: That is magnificent.

920
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,940
Speaker 2: Now we've got another one from America. This is a baseball.

921
00:34:10,980 --> 00:34:14,060
Speaker 2: This is just the poor guy. He gets stuck early

922
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:15,100
Speaker 2: and there's no way out of it.

923
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:15,660
Speaker 6: Enjoy.

924
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: We can't turn the black cock black.

925
00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:19,300
Speaker 5: We can't turn the clock.

926
00:34:23,140 --> 00:34:23,620
Speaker 6: Very good.

927
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,140
Speaker 2: You can't turn the black cock black.

928
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,430
Speaker 5: You can't turn the clock. He stumbled over.

929
00:34:29,469 --> 00:34:30,989
Speaker 6: Beautiful stuff. Magnificent work, Dana.

930
00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:32,110
Speaker 5: You've got to love Port Adelaide.

931
00:34:32,130 --> 00:34:36,110
Speaker 7: Jason Horne-Francis is doing an interview on the news.

932
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:37,030
Speaker 5: It was very serious.

933
00:34:37,070 --> 00:34:38,710
Speaker 1: It was all about how we're going to bounce back

934
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:40,950
Speaker 1: and how the boys are going to lift.

935
00:34:40,770 --> 00:34:41,350
Speaker 4: For this occasion.

936
00:34:41,410 --> 00:34:43,090
Speaker 2: So it was quite a serious interview.

937
00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:54,230
Speaker 7: Supporter drove past and just gave him some advice. They're

938
00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:56,830
Speaker 7: so poor that way. Mate, and that burnout.

939
00:34:56,870 --> 00:34:57,610
Speaker 2: The burnout.

940
00:34:57,630 --> 00:34:58,910
Speaker 5: Quality burnout.

941
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:01,630
Speaker 2: A bit of drifting up the street. You didn't see

942
00:35:01,650 --> 00:35:04,830
Speaker 2: the smoke. There's smoke emerging in the back of the shop.

943
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:06,990
Speaker 8: I've never understood why people do that.

944
00:35:07,060 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 7: Like, I despise people that do burnouts or drift or, like,

945
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,790
Speaker 7: go slow and then drive up.

946
00:35:14,820 --> 00:35:15,180
Speaker 5: What the fuck?

947
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,990
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. Although, when it is Koshi.

948
00:35:19,210 --> 00:35:22,569
Speaker 5: All right, we're done.

949
00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:23,270
Speaker 8: See you later.

950
00:35:23,310 --> 00:35:23,670
Speaker 5: Enjoy.
