WEBVTT - Port Adelaide's Dan Houston on FIVEAA Breakfast

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Dan, good morning, do you good morning guys?

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Great avenu in Dan. We had Cochi on the other

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 2>day and he gave it wasn't a red up, It

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 2>was a bit of a we need to get things

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 2>back on track. Is that the mood among the players too.

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is, it is for sure. I think you know,

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 3>we've had had had a message during the week that

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, we need to be better and we've definitely

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 3>embraced that this week. And you know, it's all areas

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 3>of the ground bids, forwards and backs and you know, contests,

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 3>defense and an offense as well that we need to

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 3>get better at and we're working hard at it and

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 3>hopefully it can turn tomorrow.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Because a weird old season, isn't it. Like you know,

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>if you won the other day, you'd be second, wouldn't you.

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is. We would have been second, and I

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>think now we're seventh. And even if you look at

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 3>this weekend, there's a lot of teams on the same points, yes,

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 3>or or were about to be on the same points

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>as us. It's that that little pack that is growing

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>and you know, we need to make sure we can

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 3>still bank those wins. A lot of changes. Yeah, there

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>is I think there was four. I was reading before,

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>so there is a few, and I think I think

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>all those changes, you know, shore up the team a

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 3>little bit. You know, we've got some really begins and

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>hopefully they can get us going this weekend.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Does a coach for warn the squad when there's going

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a week like this? Does does someone does

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>he say at the start of the week, we're making

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>changes because we're not happy with the ways going or

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>is it always a surprise when the team comes out.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 3>I think he doesn't necessarily allude to changes, but he

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>alludes that this week, you know, he's probably a week

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 3>where we've we've got to learn and we've got to

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 3>get better because what we did on the weekend wasn't

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>wasn't us and we looked at all areas of the

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>game where we can get better and we worked on

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 3>that during the week. It was a short week, so

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 3>it's sort of good because you can move on quickly,

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 3>but you've got to maximize your time at the club

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 3>to make sure you're doing everything you can to turn around.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>What about Logan Evans, he's been at the club for

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>three weeks.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's been at the club for three it's actually

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 3>been there, to be fair, a fair bit longer. He's

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 3>been there since probably just the start of pre season,

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 3>been on the list. We've been on the list for

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>three weeks. So yes, he has been on list for

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>three weeks. He does know a lot more than a

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 3>lot more than that because he has been at the

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 3>club for a while. It's really exciting, you know, is

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 3>at my end of the ground, so I get to

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>sort of Keith and I on him and see how

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 3>he's going, and I'm looking forward to what he brings.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>He's competitive and you know, he's got a lot of

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 3>assets in offense as well, which I'm sure we'll see.

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>What kind of character does HEAs heasy up for the game?

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Is he given to get nervous sort? What's how would

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you introduce him to the port fans that are listening.

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>He's very confident, so he's going to go for stuff.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 3>He's going to he's going to attack, and he's going

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 3>to put his body on the line in defense. And

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm really excited to see. He definitely won't shy away

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>from anything, and he's definitely not a nervous kid. I'm

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 3>sure he'll be embracing the opportunity.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>We were talking before to Timmy g Dan about the

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and four Premiership.

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>How were you then?

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I was seven? Yeah?

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, he had no memory of it.

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I reckon I watched it, but I don't have any

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 3>sort of memory. Yeah, yeah, I remember Brisbane and Port

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 3>were always in the final for about three years. Yeah,

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 3>that's all about I remember. That's a bit of a

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 3>blur even all that.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>With the twenty anniversary celebrations, is that something that the

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 2>current crop of younger blokes like you were going to

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>be involved in it all over the weekend.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.119
<v Speaker 3>As much as the guernsey, I'm looking forward to wearing

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>the guernsey. I reckon it looks sick. I reckon it

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 3>should be our home Gerzy every week.

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>He's a great jumper.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 3>In terms of four squad, we haven't had much interaction

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 3>with them. I think they're in our Guard of honor

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 3>this week, so looking forward to seeing them. Do know

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 3>a few of them, some are even our coaches, Chad

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 3>of course and Josh cars So looking forward to representing

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.679
<v Speaker 3>them and having a little bit more on the line

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>to play for.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, should acknowledge you'r in ripping form at the moment.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>You're five on the weekend.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, kicks your record? My record, I think of forty

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 3>one against Carlton. That's my record and I don't think

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>i'll get close again.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Who at the club if I was to ask them

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>what their record number of disposals? Needs no time to

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>think about it. Who's the big stats?

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I reckon like I reckon some of the blacks A

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 3>get like Aleah would know he's max disposals because you

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 3>know that's, you know, an added extra firm. I think

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 3>you know you look at your Bokey's and jolly wines.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 3>They probably don't know because they max out all the time.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I reckon lea Elia would know exactly how many best disposals?

0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you have an awareness? Do you come off the

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>green and sometimes and go I didn't realize I was

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>get a man's like that many times? Or do you

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>always do? You always sort of find ah, you know,

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and you had a pretty good day.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I got amongst it. I think sometimes you sort of

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>get a bit surprised because I kicked the footy a lot,

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 3>so it feels like every time I kick, I feel

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>like that's it. That's a disposal there. Sometimes you get

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 3>some little handballs and you completely forget about them and

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 3>then you get after the game and you're like, yeah,

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I actually had more than I did. So sometimes you

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 3>do have a rough idea. Sometimes you get a bit surprised.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>So what do you put down your form at the

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>moment's quality? Because as the side has been strongly I

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>think we spoke about it a little bit last week

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>as well. You've been you've been in an Australian form again.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think for me, you know, I've been I've

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>been set in my position for a good two years now.

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 3>The continuity for me being able to play each week,

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 3>being able to put my put my body out there

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 3>to train each week and not miss the session is

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 3>for me, that's the best way for me to be

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>consistent and that's reflected in my form, I think, And

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I think you know, for every every player and every team,

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 3>we've had injuries and we've had people get in and

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>out changed position and that can throw you out a

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit. For me, I've been pretty set.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>You seem really massively committed to your footy, like you

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>seem to take it super sill Like we've met players

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>who sort of drift in and out a bit and

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>they play, but then their minds elsewhere during the road.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>But it really seems to be like an all consuming

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>passion for you, Dan.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for me, I love footy. I love watching footy.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I love every little bit about it. Always ask the

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 3>coaches questions and try and pick their brains, and I

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 3>just love footy. I love playing footy, but also I

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>like switching off. Like when I'm at the club, I

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>do everything I can try and maximize myself and then

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 3>once that's done, I'm done the other day.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Good way to approach you're you're in Brisbane's head, you

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>would have seen the thing that they're playing never tearists apart.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 3>At training, I did say that I think every team

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 3>has their way of getting up for the game and

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 3>it obviously provides a little bit of energy for them too,

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of difference. And you know, I don't

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 3>think we're in their head, but I think, you know,

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 3>they're preparing really well for a big game, which I'm

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 3>sure it will be.

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's going to be fascinating to so I thought

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that if it sort of it feels like one of

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>those games where neither side can afford to lose, what I.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Would have thought, Yeah, exactly.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Given the lessons luned by the Adelaide Football Club about

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the psychological power of listening to other clubs theme songs,

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 2>that Brisbane would not go down that path.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it wasn't on a bus though.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully they've been using indigenous message sticks as well, and

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>they'll be making the front page for the next five

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>years like we're dared.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.359
<v Speaker 1>All the best, but catch up again. We'll catch up

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>again next week, thank you very much. Guys at ninety
