Speaker 1: Dan, good morning, do you good morning guys?
Speaker 2: Great avenu in Dan. We had Cochi on the other
Speaker 2: day and he gave it wasn't a red up, It
Speaker 2: was a bit of a we need to get things
Speaker 2: back on track. Is that the mood among the players too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, it is for sure. I think you know,
Speaker 3: we've had had had a message during the week that
Speaker 3: you know, we need to be better and we've definitely
Speaker 3: embraced that this week. And you know, it's all areas
Speaker 3: of the ground bids, forwards and backs and you know, contests,
Speaker 3: defense and an offense as well that we need to
Speaker 3: get better at and we're working hard at it and
Speaker 3: hopefully it can turn tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Because a weird old season, isn't it. Like you know,
Speaker 2: if you won the other day, you'd be second, wouldn't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. We would have been second, and I
Speaker 3: think now we're seventh. And even if you look at
Speaker 3: this weekend, there's a lot of teams on the same points, yes,
Speaker 3: or or were about to be on the same points
Speaker 3: as us. It's that that little pack that is growing
Speaker 3: and you know, we need to make sure we can
Speaker 3: still bank those wins. A lot of changes. Yeah, there
Speaker 3: is I think there was four. I was reading before,
Speaker 3: so there is a few, and I think I think
Speaker 3: all those changes, you know, shore up the team a
Speaker 3: little bit. You know, we've got some really begins and
Speaker 3: hopefully they can get us going this weekend.
Speaker 1: Does a coach for warn the squad when there's going
Speaker 1: to be a week like this? Does does someone does
Speaker 1: he say at the start of the week, we're making
Speaker 1: changes because we're not happy with the ways going or
Speaker 1: is it always a surprise when the team comes out.
Speaker 3: I think he doesn't necessarily allude to changes, but he
Speaker 3: alludes that this week, you know, he's probably a week
Speaker 3: where we've we've got to learn and we've got to
Speaker 3: get better because what we did on the weekend wasn't
Speaker 3: wasn't us and we looked at all areas of the
Speaker 3: game where we can get better and we worked on
Speaker 3: that during the week. It was a short week, so
Speaker 3: it's sort of good because you can move on quickly,
Speaker 3: but you've got to maximize your time at the club
Speaker 3: to make sure you're doing everything you can to turn around.
Speaker 1: What about Logan Evans, he's been at the club for
Speaker 1: three weeks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been at the club for three it's actually
Speaker 3: been there, to be fair, a fair bit longer. He's
Speaker 3: been there since probably just the start of pre season,
Speaker 3: been on the list. We've been on the list for
Speaker 3: three weeks. So yes, he has been on list for
Speaker 3: three weeks. He does know a lot more than a
Speaker 3: lot more than that because he has been at the
Speaker 3: club for a while. It's really exciting, you know, is
Speaker 3: at my end of the ground, so I get to
Speaker 3: sort of Keith and I on him and see how
Speaker 3: he's going, and I'm looking forward to what he brings.
Speaker 3: He's competitive and you know, he's got a lot of
Speaker 3: assets in offense as well, which I'm sure we'll see.
Speaker 1: What kind of character does HEAs heasy up for the game?
Speaker 1: Is he given to get nervous sort? What's how would
Speaker 1: you introduce him to the port fans that are listening.
Speaker 3: He's very confident, so he's going to go for stuff.
Speaker 3: He's going to he's going to attack, and he's going
Speaker 3: to put his body on the line in defense. And
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see. He definitely won't shy away
Speaker 3: from anything, and he's definitely not a nervous kid. I'm
Speaker 3: sure he'll be embracing the opportunity.
Speaker 2: We were talking before to Timmy g Dan about the
Speaker 2: two thousand and four Premiership.
Speaker 1: How were you then?
Speaker 3: I was seven? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Right, he had no memory of it.
Speaker 3: I reckon I watched it, but I don't have any
Speaker 3: sort of memory. Yeah, yeah, I remember Brisbane and Port
Speaker 3: were always in the final for about three years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's all about I remember. That's a bit of a
Speaker 3: blur even all that.
Speaker 2: With the twenty anniversary celebrations, is that something that the
Speaker 2: current crop of younger blokes like you were going to
Speaker 2: be involved in it all over the weekend.
Speaker 3: As much as the guernsey, I'm looking forward to wearing
Speaker 3: the guernsey. I reckon it looks sick. I reckon it
Speaker 3: should be our home Gerzy every week.
Speaker 1: He's a great jumper.
Speaker 3: In terms of four squad, we haven't had much interaction
Speaker 3: with them. I think they're in our Guard of honor
Speaker 3: this week, so looking forward to seeing them. Do know
Speaker 3: a few of them, some are even our coaches, Chad
Speaker 3: of course and Josh cars So looking forward to representing
Speaker 3: them and having a little bit more on the line
Speaker 3: to play for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, should acknowledge you'r in ripping form at the moment.
Speaker 1: You're five on the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kicks your record? My record, I think of forty
Speaker 3: one against Carlton. That's my record and I don't think
Speaker 3: i'll get close again.
Speaker 1: Who at the club if I was to ask them
Speaker 1: what their record number of disposals? Needs no time to
Speaker 1: think about it. Who's the big stats?
Speaker 3: I reckon like I reckon some of the blacks A
Speaker 3: get like Aleah would know he's max disposals because you
Speaker 3: know that's, you know, an added extra firm. I think
Speaker 3: you know you look at your Bokey's and jolly wines.
Speaker 3: They probably don't know because they max out all the time.
Speaker 3: I reckon lea Elia would know exactly how many best disposals?
Speaker 1: Do you have an awareness? Do you come off the
Speaker 1: green and sometimes and go I didn't realize I was
Speaker 1: get a man's like that many times? Or do you
Speaker 1: always do? You always sort of find ah, you know,
Speaker 1: and you had a pretty good day.
Speaker 3: I got amongst it. I think sometimes you sort of
Speaker 3: get a bit surprised because I kicked the footy a lot,
Speaker 3: so it feels like every time I kick, I feel
Speaker 3: like that's it. That's a disposal there. Sometimes you get
Speaker 3: some little handballs and you completely forget about them and
Speaker 3: then you get after the game and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I actually had more than I did. So sometimes you
Speaker 3: do have a rough idea. Sometimes you get a bit surprised.
Speaker 1: So what do you put down your form at the
Speaker 1: moment's quality? Because as the side has been strongly I
Speaker 1: think we spoke about it a little bit last week
Speaker 1: as well. You've been you've been in an Australian form again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for me, you know, I've been I've
Speaker 3: been set in my position for a good two years now.
Speaker 3: The continuity for me being able to play each week,
Speaker 3: being able to put my put my body out there
Speaker 3: to train each week and not miss the session is
Speaker 3: for me, that's the best way for me to be
Speaker 3: consistent and that's reflected in my form, I think, And
Speaker 3: I think you know, for every every player and every team,
Speaker 3: we've had injuries and we've had people get in and
Speaker 3: out changed position and that can throw you out a
Speaker 3: little bit. For me, I've been pretty set.
Speaker 2: You seem really massively committed to your footy, like you
Speaker 2: seem to take it super sill Like we've met players
Speaker 2: who sort of drift in and out a bit and
Speaker 2: they play, but then their minds elsewhere during the road.
Speaker 2: But it really seems to be like an all consuming
Speaker 2: passion for you, Dan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, I love footy. I love watching footy.
Speaker 3: I love every little bit about it. Always ask the
Speaker 3: coaches questions and try and pick their brains, and I
Speaker 3: just love footy. I love playing footy, but also I
Speaker 3: like switching off. Like when I'm at the club, I
Speaker 3: do everything I can try and maximize myself and then
Speaker 3: once that's done, I'm done the other day.
Speaker 1: Good way to approach you're you're in Brisbane's head, you
Speaker 1: would have seen the thing that they're playing never tearists apart.
Speaker 3: At training, I did say that I think every team
Speaker 3: has their way of getting up for the game and
Speaker 3: it obviously provides a little bit of energy for them too,
Speaker 3: a little bit of difference. And you know, I don't
Speaker 3: think we're in their head, but I think, you know,
Speaker 3: they're preparing really well for a big game, which I'm
Speaker 3: sure it will be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be fascinating to so I thought
Speaker 1: that if it sort of it feels like one of
Speaker 1: those games where neither side can afford to lose, what I.
Speaker 3: Would have thought, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Given the lessons luned by the Adelaide Football Club about
Speaker 2: the psychological power of listening to other clubs theme songs,
Speaker 2: that Brisbane would not go down that path.
Speaker 3: Yeah it wasn't on a bus though.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they've been using indigenous message sticks as well, and
Speaker 2: they'll be making the front page for the next five
Speaker 2: years like we're dared.
Speaker 1: All the best, but catch up again. We'll catch up
Speaker 1: again next week, thank you very much. Guys at ninety
