Speaker 1: First though, que peu check we say even Saint Jay,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,279

00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 3: Well.

00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I believe prison.

Speaker 2: By time will play them. FROs Kelly night almost. I

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: would say up there is one of the biggest games

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: of the year. It was an absolute ripper and we

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: are set for a showdown on Friday night as well

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: from the Pies. Mister Mason Cox, good morning.

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: Morning mate, good morning Hello, well done on the weekend.

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good win, very close win, one

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 3: point thriller against Brisbane who obviously played in the Grand

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: final last week.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: It feels what's it what's it like after after a

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: win like that.

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Statement, it's a state.

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean at that point, you know, we started

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: to wait for some other results throughout the rest of

24
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: the day to kind of see if we're still in finals.

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: So I think that was a massive, you know, confidence

26
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: booster for us to come back, you know, as we

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: did for a long time of the last kind of

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: two years, we've been able to do that.

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: So it was it was good. It was exciting.

30
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: You know, you had sixty thousand fans there and just

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: going absolutely nights watching it and you know, I'm sure

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: thousands at home, and yeah, just a really great feeling

33
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: to be able to come back and get a w.

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's the last round this week. You only have

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 4: to win by one hundred and ninety eight points to

36
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: make the finals.

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: It's like that dumb and dumber quote.

38
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: So you're saying, there's a chance, there.

39
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: Is a jet.

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: What's the school we have to get one hundred?

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: You're a win by one hundred and ninety eight, I believe,

42
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: check your.

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Sports bat mate, and then and then depend on other

44
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: results falling. So it's not we're first off the bat too.

45
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: So we're on Friday night, so we'll have to do

46
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: our job as best we can and then just wait

47
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: for the rest of the results to hopefully follow away

48
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: over the weekend.

49
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, AFL have come out saying highest ever all

50
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: time attendance record is set to be broken Friday night

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: for the season.

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: Wow. Right, So between Melbourne and No No, no, no

53
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: overall so throughout the year, Yeah, gross gross number of spectators.

54
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Attendant seven and a half million fans have attended the

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four season.

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's incredible. That's good.

57
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Friday Night will be a huge game.

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Will you take on Melbourne? I've got to ask the question,

59
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, what would Christian Petruka look like in black

60
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: and white? He grew up bricking for Collingwood. Yeah.

61
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what I can and can't say around this. Personally,

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm happy to have if he wants to come across.

63
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how it'll work, but he's a heck

64
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 3: of a player. Yeah, it's an interesting little experience for

65
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: him over the last couple of weeks. I guess through

66
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: the media, but you know, I think this is kind

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: of how these things happen. Whenever you're away from the

68
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: club for a little bit with the injury, there's people

69
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: like to speculate. So I'm not really sure. I don't

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: know him personally as po as well as you Clint.

71
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: But well, you've been through it too, right, You had

72
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: some serious injuries and had to take some time off.

73
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: What was the pressure behind the scenes for you to

74
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: be present in the club during that time or will

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 4: you allow the time to be away from the club

76
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: and here, because there has been some criticism of him

77
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: going to NUSA to take some time to heal, which

78
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: to me seems perfectly perfectly normal.

79
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially the injury you had, Like you can't even

80
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: you can't eve break it swite, you can't do anything.

81
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: So there's not really a lot. You can kind of

82
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: contribute to the club. You can be in meetings and

83
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: help out with you know, maybe doing vision with people

84
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, but overall, there's not a lot.

85
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: The biggest thing is you want to be still involved,

86
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: Like I think you want that kind of camaraderie of

87
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: being around the players and stuff still in that, but overall,

88
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: like you're really going in there and you might be

89
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: able to help out for like thirty minutes here and there.

90
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: But you also need to protect your mind as well

91
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: and take that time to what he did well.

92
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: We're chatting about the track situation earlier in the show,

93
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: because yesterday he fronted up at training to address the

94
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: players just to.

95
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Give a bit of an explanation as to what have

96
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: been going down in terms of he's rehab his recovery.

97
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: Which surprises me. It's like they're in the dark because

98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: even you said lot you know, track's been on the

99
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: shard the last couple of weeks. He's been filling us.

100
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: In, but we're also getting sort of third party messages

101
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: about what that conversation was, about what that meeting was,

102
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: So who knows?

103
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Who knows? Do you feel for him?

104
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, it's it's frustrating because he's a big name,

105
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: like people want to know what's going on. Yeah, it

106
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: comes with a lot of responsibility obviously, but I think yeah,

107
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: like a lot of pressure from the media side of

108
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: things too, where you know, someone might think they heard

109
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: something and all of a sudden they make a story

110
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: out of it. So it's going to be frustrating from

111
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: his standpoint, like you know, I mean, he's already injured,

112
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: he's always probably frustrated with that, and then to have

113
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: all this other stuff kind of pie line to that

114
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: is never ideal. Back to the Pies Friday night, Do

115
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 3: you go ahead, Jason?

116
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Do you go into it with the mentality there's a chance.

117
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you just you want to play

118
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: your best, right, you know, you every time you go

119
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: out and play in front of the big crowd, you

120
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: want to entertain them. You want to kind of put

121
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: your best foot forward and you know that's what we're

122
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: going to try to do on Friday. There's you know,

123
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: I think you got to sit there and go, Okay,

124
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: we're just going to play our way and whatever happens

125
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: kind of happens. And obviously we know we have to

126
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: kick a big score, so hopefully we can do that.

127
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: But there's been a bit of spice in Melbourne Collingwood

128
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: encounters in the past. Oh yeah, so one should make

129
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: for a great spectacle and.

130
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: You're on track have it out last time.

131
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: I remember that, Hey, Mason is always interesting this time

132
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: of year though, because we say goodbye to so many

133
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: great players in the last round. I know you put

134
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: on your Instagram yesterday about Ben Brown retiring. You're a

135
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: big fan of his.

136
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one of the nicest guys I know if

137
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: you ever met him, he is. Seriously, him and his

138
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: wife are just the most lovely people you'll ever meet.

139
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: And I think it's it's one of those things for me,

140
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: like I never grew up kind of you know, supporting

141
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: a team or anything like that's not from here, but

142
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's people you meet from oppositions and

143
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: stuff through appearances or wherever. It is, and you kind

144
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: of get to know them and you realize that you're

145
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: all doing the same thing. You are really, you know,

146
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: just different colors, but we're all doing the same job,

147
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: and you just have a lot of you know, crossover

148
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: with them. You kind of get to know him and

149
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: I don't know him really personally, but every time I've

150
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: met him, he's just been such a lovely human and

151
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: you just, you know, want to wish him all the

152
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: bust for the next kind of part of life.

153
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: And so tomorrow, sorry, Friday, potentially could be the pies

154
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: last game for the potentially unless you win by one

155
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety eight points past. Have you got anyone

156
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: that is saying goodbye this weekend that we might see

157
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: for the last time for the Pies, not that.

158
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,279
