No. 60 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: It's unfortunately there's not a lot of fact to that. 61 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: But I can't what I have learned with that pope 62 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: in particularly if you respond, there'll be another one, another one. 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: But you don't need to pick a fight with them. 64 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: But it is that time of the year when your 65 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: name and others will be bandied around. Is that any 66 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: of any interest? What's agan as? Is there any interest? 67 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 5: What's they were that not at the moment. Nah, No, 68 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 5: I think. 69 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: That's qualified at the moment, which is fair. 70 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still learning a lot of this stuff, to 71 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: be honest, and what looks like it feels pretty soon 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: to be out of the game and horses even later. 73 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm sort of enjoying this year for what 74 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: it is, and that'll end in a few weeks and 75 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: then I'll look towards next to you when the time's right. 76 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 5: But no, it's not. There's no jobs available. 77 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: For a start, and there's no real desire to jump 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: straight back in at the moment either. 79 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: No, and look, I'm not trying to trip you up 80 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: for anything, but it does sound to me like you 81 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: haven't absolutely definitively to bed now. It's just not to 82 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: say you've been having casual talks with fun Victoria CLUBB. 83 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: No. 84 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: No, it's hard to put things to bed like that 85 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: because it's a bit raw. It's still a bit early, 86 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: so anyone who's got out of the game. From a 87 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: coaching point of view, I can see. I always wondered 88 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: why they say it like I'm saying it now, because 89 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: you don't want to completely rule things out. But at 90 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: the moment, I'm really happy with what I'm doing, so 91 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: I suppo respect those. 92 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: That are in a job currently because the names that are 93 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: bandied around, and you've been in that position yourself. 94 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: I guess yeah, and that's all part of it. I 95 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: get all that, and I think trying to be respectful 96 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: as much as you can do is a fraternity. They're 97 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: still connected to a lot of those senior coaches and 98 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: dealing with what they're dealing with at the moment. I 99 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: understand what they're going through and also the successful people. 100 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 5: As well what they're dealing with as well. 101 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: Fair enough only Further've got a big show tonight. You 102 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: great made horses going to join us. It was filthy, 103 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: he like, can he be crooked? He wanted a piece 104 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: of the chair and couldn't get it. Tom Green is 105 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: here the GWS star ahead of what's going to be 106 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: a massive match tomorrow night. I can't wait to have 107 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: a chat with that young man. He's a good, nice, 108 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: confident young fella. We've got the teams and a special 109 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: Hindi preview which is coming up on Fox. I know 110 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: you're excited about that. 111 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 5: Yep. 112 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: Maybe they need a special comments spot first works well, 113 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: they could go on first crack with Benjamin Lee and 114 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: David and help out as well. 115 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: But I've I've met the crew and they're excited about 116 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: their AFL footy and they're going to be in here 117 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: and they'll be calling a bit of it as well. 118 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: So they look towards Thursday night. It is going to 119 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: be absolutely massive, no question about that. These two teams 120 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: don't get on. But before we get to that, give 121 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: me a D Day scenario the Hawks. 122 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and for the ladder predicted people out there, which 123 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: I've sort of slipped into, if they've got to win 124 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: one of these games to really buck the trend. And 125 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: as much as they've had a pretty solid season, I 126 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: don't think it's been as stellar as last year, but 127 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: this is this is one of the games. If they 128 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: can knock over Adelaide on the road in such a 129 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: big game, it could set up the whole year. I mean, 130 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: they're still chasing top four, lay alone top eight, so 131 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: it's it's it's all nothing really this. 132 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Week extraordinary situation. We haven't locked away of position inside 133 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: the eight. You can still finish with a double chance. 134 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. 135 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 3: Actually I heard look meet talk about we're still going 136 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: for top four, so you know, there's get to the 137 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: finals then chase that nugget as well. So that is 138 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: the benefit of that ladder. 139 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: The big challenge coming up they take on the Ala Crows. Yeah, 140 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Mitchell spoke this morning. 141 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 7: It's going to be Yeah, it's going to be a great, 142 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 7: great game. It's a great fixed string. I know there's 143 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 7: been a bit of talk about that. But Friday night 144 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 7: have over in Adelaide against you know, probably the informed 145 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 7: team in the in the copy tea and you know, 146 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 7: we feel like we're well placed. You know, they're we're 147 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 7: the one and two pressure teams in the competition, one 148 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 7: and two post clearance contested possession teams in the competition. 149 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 7: So there's a lot of good things about this game 150 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 7: and you know, a real opportunity to test ourselves out 151 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 7: and certainly an eight point game for us. And we've 152 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 7: got you know, we've got high aspirations for our season 153 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 7: and games like this is is where it's all. 154 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: Going to count. You've done your land of pretty well. 155 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, we finished top. 156 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: So apart from the dogs D day, What's what's what's 157 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: your DA Day? 158 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: It's a good sign for the Dogs. Thanks, So I 159 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: wasy broadband. I'm going to the Brisbane line. So they 160 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: come here that could be the game of the year 161 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: Saturday night take on the Collingwood Football Club. 162 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 5: At the mc g. 163 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: They haven't beat them the last four times Fags and 164 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: he's got he's got a little little sternness about him 165 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: that I think they'll welcome the challenge. They were disappointing 166 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: last week against Gold is their recent record against the 167 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: Magpies so apart from the round seven clash this year, 168 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: they've always been pretty tight. But it's big. 169 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: They've got a tough run and that's what happens when 170 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: you win a flag, you've got to back it up 171 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: the next year. And I don't you know some of 172 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: the teams they're playing it weren't finals like Gold Coast 173 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: now are in finals contention. They're playing them twice as well. 174 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: So I think they've had the hardest straw in recent history. 175 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: And the next three weeks are pretty big. 176 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: They get there, they're going to be a good nick 177 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: about it. Let's good to Thursday night foot. 178 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: It's going to be massive these two teams. The rivalry israel. 179 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't think they particularly like each other and the 180 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: battle line's have been well and truly drawn. 181 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 6: One thing is to be the best team in the competition, 182 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 6: and if you're not, you can look at. 183 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: The ladder to think who. 184 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: Is and how are you going to get there. 185 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: We're really confident at the moment where we're really positive 186 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: about our game. We know we've still got things to 187 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: work on to continue to improve, and we need to 188 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: continue to improve. 189 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 5: But all in all, we're pretty happy with the way 190 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 5: that that our game is. 191 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: You and your friendly most cover up. 192 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 6: There's been some spot in one or two of those games, 193 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 6: some of the unbelievable games and the battles that. 194 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: Have got incredible midfielders they've got a stoppage structure. 195 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: That can really help them score. Is there is a 196 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 5: natural motivator. 197 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 6: Ultimately, is no real there that we need to stream together. 198 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 6: Everyone knows that. 199 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: They're fall fifty. Stoppage is elite. 200 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: Their ability to hunt ground ball and get going their 201 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: ways elite. 202 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 5: So it's going to be a massive challenge. 203 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 6: You can clam up, you can be stifled because of 204 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 6: maybe the enormity of the of the task. That's what 205 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 6: us you're talking about too far ahead. 206 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: We're prepared really well. We know the threats and now 207 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: comes down to a matter of unable to maintain. 208 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: High stakes, no question about it. The Bulldogs falter. 209 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: That is season twenty twenty five over. It's great to 210 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: welcome a genuine star of this competition in Tom Green 211 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: from the Giants in the studio. Great to see young Thomas. 212 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for having me. 213 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: Guys, it's a little unusual gay met there with Dennis 214 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: pagan Go. I just wandered in and did a footy 215 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: show on the night before a big game. 216 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 5: You want to get a kick some Yeah, that's what 217 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 5: he'd be saying. 218 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I feel the exact same way. 219 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 5: I'm there, get permission. 220 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 8: It's been clear with the club, but they sort of 221 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 8: came to me with it. So yeah, I don't think 222 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 8: if Kings wasn't happy with me doing it, I don't 223 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 8: think you'd let me be here. 224 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: You did dip your toe in the water. You got 225 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: to let a little podcast happening, and you're know stranger 226 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: to the meaning. 227 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't mind that Jacob does a lot of 228 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 8: the heavy lifting, and I'm not too sure anyone actually 229 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 8: listens to that podcast, whereas I'm sure there's more people 230 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 8: watching tonight. 231 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: So it is a little bit nerve wracking. 232 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: Still are you a nervous pregamer as a rule on 233 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: a night before a game. 234 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 8: No, I'm pretty relaxed. I don't think about the game 235 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 8: too much. I sort of do more of that during 236 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 8: the week and then the night before just try and 237 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 8: chill out, do too much. 238 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 3: You've had another pretty solid years. As the game changed, 239 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: that all since you started inside mid, big body was 240 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 3: always the fashion to get those type of players in. 241 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 3: As the game moved at all, in your eyes was 242 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: still the same. 243 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 8: I think there's still definitely a place for it, and 244 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 8: particularly when we get to big matches and finals, I 245 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 8: think there's definitely still a place for guys who can 246 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 8: win contestants where finals effectively comes down too. So there's 247 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 8: definitely still space for that. But we see a lot 248 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 8: of the more dynamic running halfbacks in mids having greater 249 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 8: and greater influence, So I might be out of a 250 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 8: job soon, I guess yeah. 251 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: I think Adam is high praise for Amounam is you're 252 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: going okay? I'd say you're going two weeks ago against 253 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: this and you just ripped the whole thing to shred. 254 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: So coming into this, do you feel like you're in 255 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: good form? Like you feel like you're finding plenty of 256 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: foot of this will be against opposition and aren't their 257 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: very best, but you can't pay much better than this, 258 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: I don't think. 259 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 8: I think as a collective we've been in really good 260 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 8: form over the last six weeks. I mean six in 261 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 8: a row, is you know, the sort of form that 262 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 8: we'd like to be finding and hopefully continue heading into finals. 263 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: So that's been really nice. 264 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 8: And I feel like I've been able to pretty consistently 265 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 8: contribute to that. 266 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: So it has been a good little patch. 267 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: What about your form line as a team, It's like 268 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: for the second year in a row, you've sort of 269 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: timed to run well. 270 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: Is that part of the plan? 271 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: I could never do that as it comes by the way, 272 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: it's like win every week, but it feels like two 273 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: years in a row you have a bit of a 274 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: lulder in the middle of the and then you come 275 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: home strong. Is that is that part of the plan. 276 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 8: I don't want to say that it's part of the 277 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 8: plan to have to win, you know, six or seven 278 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 8: games in a row in consecutive seasons to put yourself 279 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 8: in that position. We do structure our preseason in a 280 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 8: way that means we are peaking towards September and the 281 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 8: final series. But I think, you know, going forward, we 282 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 8: do need to adjust a little bit because I don't 283 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 8: think we want to be having such luws that we 284 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 8: have had the last two years at similar periods. 285 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 3: So what turned it around this year? Was it personnel 286 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 3: because some of the numbers are pretty stark and that 287 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 3: mid part of the year. But Calahan coming back in 288 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 3: the side. There's anything particularly that turn it around. Is 289 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: it just it's time to go? 290 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 8: I think it's probably a little bit of both. Definitely, 291 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 8: you know, some personnel coming back into the side and 292 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 8: hitting some hitting their straps. But I also think that, 293 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 8: as I said, we sort of structure it in a 294 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 8: way that which were sort of trained heavier in the 295 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 8: earlier part of the year as well to make sure 296 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 8: we're keeping that fitness up as we get to the 297 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 8: back end of the year. 298 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: You do ladder predictors, you've done all this stuff where 299 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: you're finishing or not. 300 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 8: No, I don't have a look at that. I know 301 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 8: some people do, but I think at the minute it's 302 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 8: just too confusing and it really is so dependent on 303 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 8: other results and what's happening around the league. 304 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: So teams have dropped for tomorrow and night. We're excited 305 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: about the contest. The Giants and the Bulldogs. Rivalry is real, 306 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: of course, so the Bulldog's no change to the side 307 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: that did a number on the Bombs last week. And 308 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: that's no great surprise that you boys have got three changes, 309 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: of course, so there's the no change legally, it comes 310 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: in Harvey Thomas, comes in Harry Rows and you've lost 311 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Jack Buckley to injury, which is going to be a 312 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: problem given the forward line that you're playing against. Kelly 313 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: is a star through the midfield, and you Skipper has 314 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: found himself suspended on a pretty important night. 315 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some big outs. 316 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 8: I mean, as you sort of talked about, those are 317 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 8: three really quality guys. But I think if you look 318 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 8: at the people who are coming in, Lex played some 319 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 8: fantastic footy for us throughout this year. So as Harry Rawson, 320 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 8: I think he's been a real revelation in the midfield 321 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 8: and it's been great being able to have him in 322 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 8: there and work with him. And we know Harvey Thomas 323 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 8: is a really good young player, played most games last 324 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 8: year and contributed every week. So while it is it 325 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 8: is a bit disappointing, to have that quality go out 326 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 8: of the side. 327 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: We also think we've got some guys who are. 328 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 8: Coming in and will play their role really really well. 329 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 5: Did you talk to Toby? 330 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 3: Are you the one that goes listen mate, that's it's 331 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: not what we do here anymore? 332 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: Or is that no one does that doesn't look like 333 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 5: he does. 334 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: This is the question of the night. 335 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer no. 336 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 8: I think people definitely let him know as in like 337 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 8: we understand we want Toby to be out there, and 338 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 8: I think Toby part of it as well as Toby 339 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 8: wouldn't have an understanding as well that he wants to 340 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 8: be in this game exactly. He is the leader of 341 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 8: our football club and he also wants to be playing 342 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 8: the biggest games for us, so he's disappointed himself. We'd 343 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 8: obviously love to have him out there, but he is 344 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 8: also our captain and he's been a really really good captain, 345 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 8: so I certainly love running out behind him. 346 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: I'd imagine it is. 347 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 5: It's the balance, right. 348 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: So we watch it and we're all fans of the 349 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: mischievous Toby who's got the glint in the eye. We're 350 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: not fans of the Toby who he's going to miss 351 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: this massive game on something where his frustrations get the 352 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: better of him. And as a young man who leadership aspirations, you've. 353 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 5: Got to shoulder some of that load. 354 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: Now, I'd imagine you want to captain next fitty club 355 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: at some stage. 356 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 8: I think Toby's doing a fantastic job. I think he's 357 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 8: as I said, he's been amazing to run out behind 358 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 8: for a few years now. I think that captaincy question, 359 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 8: I think it's more about our playing group. Who do 360 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 8: they want to represent them? And I think that's currently Toby. 361 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 8: Whoever they see that as been going forward, I think 362 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 8: that's the right person for that job. 363 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: And what about this contest with the Bulldogs? We, as 364 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: I said, we love it, We build it up every time. 365 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: Is it real or manufactured? 366 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 8: I think it's real, I think, And again, in a 367 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 8: moment like this, which is a really important game for 368 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 8: both sides, it doesn't really need to be any extra 369 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 8: motivation in a game like this, so there is a 370 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 8: little bit of history there, and it's two really competitive 371 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 8: teams that need to win this game for the rest 372 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 8: of their season. 373 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: So the fair cook at halftime was that what I heard, 374 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 3: and actually might have lost the I think he's miked 375 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 3: up Adam for the next everything. 376 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 5: I think he might have done the horse I lost 377 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 5: the if there are any. 378 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Chances and they said it's gone and never. 379 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 3: To be saying sometimes those motivation last ten seconds. But 380 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: obviously they must have had an impact going to the 381 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: second half. Or was it more of the player driven 382 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: in that third quarter? 383 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 8: No, it was Kings doesn't often give out sprays like that. 384 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 8: I think he's on the record as well as saying 385 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 8: that he doesn't want to be giving those out all 386 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 8: the time, and he doesn't, so when he does, it 387 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 8: has great effect and we definitely deserve that. We didn't 388 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 8: have a great first half at all. The Swans were 389 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 8: all over us, and given they'd beat this I think 390 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 8: five or six times in a row, it was really 391 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 8: important that we responded. And I think, yeah, some time 392 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 8: we worked from Kings their health as long as as 393 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 8: well as as you're saying, Adam, a player driven response. 394 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: Does he give you the disappointed dad look or is 395 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: it more verbal? 396 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 8: It was loud verbal the disappointed dad look he pulls 397 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 8: out on occasion, but this one we deserved a little 398 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 8: bit more so. 399 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: I've heard Adam talk about this. You say You've got 400 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: six bullets throughout a course. 401 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 5: That might be too many of these days, but. 402 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: You've got to space them and you're going to save them. 403 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: There's probably one in a pre season game that you 404 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: normally don't turn up for, and there's one earlier in 405 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: the year, and then there's one around now, and then 406 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: maybe one lead into finals. 407 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: But what happens when you get a response like he 408 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: got on the back of it, you've come out and 409 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: kicked nine goals to one. I mean, this must be 410 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the most heartening thing of all. I want to talk 411 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: about Finn callahand a minute, but this says to you, Okay, 412 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: we have the capacity to respond when we need to, 413 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: most when the game's on the line and the coach 414 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: has read the group really well, I would. 415 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 8: Suggest, Yeah, it's a combination of both those. It's nice 416 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 8: as a playing group to I suppose understand we have 417 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 8: that capacity to put on a quarter like that against 418 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 8: a really. 419 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: Good opposition in Sydney. 420 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 8: Again, we probably don't want to rely on having nine 421 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 8: gold quarters because they don't come every single week. So 422 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 8: while it was really nice, we understand that. I suppose 423 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 8: if you look then into our last quarter, we were 424 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 8: able to play some more consistent footing and sort of 425 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 8: grind the game down. 426 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: A little bit more as well. We take great confidence 427 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: and that also. 428 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 5: The ability to find a gear though. 429 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 3: Having that in the back pocket now, knowing that potentially 430 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: you could pull that out whenever you need to in 431 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: the next six to ten weeks is something that's I 432 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 3: think the good the great sides we'll get to. So 433 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 3: having that understanding you can do that, that's important for it. 434 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. 435 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 8: It's important that, as you said, you pretty much articulated 436 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 8: it perfect, Adam, and I think it's wise. Well, we 437 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 8: like to know that now I suppose we can string 438 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 8: with sort of games together and get wins. You know, 439 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 8: like I said, we don't want to rely on winning 440 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 8: six in a row, but the fact that we can 441 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 8: do that is nice. The fact we can have a 442 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 8: quarter like that is nice, but we don't want to 443 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 8: have to rely on that stuff to get results. 444 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: It is great to have you in here. You've handled 445 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: yourself magnificently. You're calling Adam Adam, which is we like it. 446 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: We like it foremal simps, Okay, just having a look 447 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: as you go on to the bond tomorrow night, where 448 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: do you find yourself. No one plays on anyone through 449 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: the midfield, just freewheel you both. 450 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is there is a fair bit of that. 451 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 8: I think honestly, you can't really run away from anyone 452 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 8: in the Doggi's midfield anyway. They've got so many good 453 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 8: players rolling through there, and it is maybe the greatest challenge, 454 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 8: you know, with the midfield they've got. So it's a 455 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 8: challenge that I'm really looking forward to on I as 456 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 8: a midfield group, we are as well, and it's one 457 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 8: that we're really really excited to test ourselves against. 458 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: That's the any mate. 459 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: You've presented beautifully. We appreciate you coming in on the 460 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: eve of what is going to be a really big 461 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch it unfold tomorrow night. 462 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: No problem, guys, thank you very much for having me. 463 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: I like to clean, lean clean, Tom Green. It's just 464 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: so cleanly stick. That's right. 465 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 5: Let's move on. 466 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to throw to Craig McCrae talked about Jacksonney. 467 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you as a former senior 468 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: coach prevacship coach. Is the dumb thing or not? 469 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: Have you met with jackson A? Yeah? I did, Yeah, 470 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 2: I did. 471 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: And confidence say that we'll keep exploring, exploring what the 472 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: best version of us looks like. And when there's free 473 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: agents available, yeah, we'll keep it exploring those things. 474 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 8: Your original chance again at the end of the year. 475 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 4: I'm justin Leopard and Charlie Garden and do those things. 476 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 4: I just met with a young man and worked out 477 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 4: we had a first date and see if we liked 478 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: each other, and. 479 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: Went on to say he's open to a second date. 480 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's new a little bit. 481 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 3: I'm not meeting the players, that's that happens all the time, 482 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: but actually it's declaring that you have met something that 483 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 3: it's creeping in. I've started with Sam Mitchell, obviously with 484 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: Oscar Allen early in the year, where I don't know 485 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: if they tried to keep it quiet, but they didn't 486 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: care for god out and obviously that's the that's the 487 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: way of the world. 488 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 5: How do you feel about that? 489 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm well, I've got I'm getting used to the 490 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: fact that it is the way it's going. And then 491 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: you've got the NRL situation where they declared the half 492 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: that's the extreme end. Now, this is a big change 493 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: from when we were playing. Obviously, when you're director and 494 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: director Footy No, God No. 495 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 5: At Melbourne. 496 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 3: But obviously that happens and people get approached all the 497 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: time and there's discussions, but the actual when asked the questions, 498 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 3: you can sort of dance around a little bit. So 499 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 3: I suppose we appreciate the honesty. 500 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: What's the meaning for him? What's the meaning for Jack Sylvanne? 501 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: How I don't have what's. 502 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: Going on behind closed doors too, with the politics of 503 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 3: the two clubs and the relationships between people around Sylvanni, 504 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,239 Speaker 3: so that that wouldn't be ideal if you're a him. 505 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 3: I suppose were you know, it doesn't really matter. I 506 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: suppose there's three or four games to go, and what 507 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: happens the. 508 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 5: Rest of this year is not going to dictate what 509 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 5: he does. 510 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: So it's a tricky environment. I mean, you've got the 511 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: coning there with the speculation, season long speculation about him 512 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: going a Secuda. They're trying to hold on to Jack Sylvanney. 513 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: Are they really trying to hold on to him? They've 514 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: got salary cap issues at the top end. 515 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 5: It's right coming in. Graham Right's got his feet. 516 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: Under the desk soon enough, so and then you've got 517 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, I don't blame Craig mccraig. I mean, what's 518 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: he going to do sit there and ride and say 519 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: haven't met. Well, that's what we all used to do, 520 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: I know, but is that what did that used to it? 521 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: I guess that's the body. 522 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 3: Well, we wouldn't be talking about it tonight. So it's 523 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 3: great for the media and for everyone. But I think 524 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: when you talk about these things, you think about the player, 525 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: so I'd be thinking about jack So I'm going, Okay, 526 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: if I'd bring this up, then Jackson are walking the 527 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: clubrooms tomorrow at Carlton and go, oh, you met with 528 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: collingw digit So That's what I'd be thinking. 529 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 5: But that doesn't seem to be. 530 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: So the only difference is if he doesn't say, we 531 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: would still the media to still talk about it, and 532 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: then it'd be. 533 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 5: It would be speculation. 534 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: But the locker room still is still in fact at 535 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: the Blues, just like at that West Coast. It just 536 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: affected the locker room as much as all of us talking. 537 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: Just on contracts. 538 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Johannucom recommitted to the Haws on foota club on a big, big, 539 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: six year deal, so they've locked away one of their 540 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: midfield stars. They're not righty in in the middle of 541 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: doing massive deals. 542 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 3: I haven't seen something this big for who's got the 543 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 3: next biggest contract? 544 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 5: That Hawthorne
