Speaker 1: And the Saints will probably wrap it up for scoring today,
Speaker 1: that's ten goals eleven I reckon is seventy one. Get
Speaker 1: the school boards up. They didn't have seventy two, so
Speaker 1: that margin is sixty three points eight seconds ago. Rowie
Speaker 1: bringing home for you, bring it home.
Speaker 2: I'll come on with now whenever.
Speaker 1: This season for the Crows, they've started off just the
Speaker 1: way Crow's fans would like.
Speaker 2: Steal's going to bang it back into the forward line
Speaker 2: and the sin will.
Speaker 1: God, I'm very mature rening what was in the end
Speaker 1: of a walk in.
Speaker 3: The park, But ye hadn't the Crows they get it
Speaker 3: done bout sixty three points.
Speaker 1: While in signing game in the end for Adelaide, they
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. They had plenty of goalscorers
Speaker 1: twelve I think it was in the end Fogg and
Speaker 1: they kicked four goals still thought kicked three coming. Dawson,
Speaker 1: Raschelle and Rank and all had two and a few
Speaker 1: singles around the place as well. Saint Kilda just went
Speaker 1: able to keep up and on a Sunday afternoon, forty two,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and eighty five people turn up to the
Speaker 1: Otelaide Oval.
Speaker 2: To support the Crows.
Speaker 1: In what is an exciting year ahead, I reckon, I've
Speaker 1: just got so many new players and players who look
Speaker 1: a little bit older, more experience now for the for
Speaker 1: the run of the last few years, and maybe this
Speaker 1: is a year that they can aspider finals.
Speaker 4: Well I just wrote them in note dates Tuggs and Row.
Speaker 4: It was a balance performance now and a balanced team,
Speaker 4: you know, like you go across all the lines. There's
Speaker 4: no you know, and today, yeah we'll take it for
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 5: Sant cur are a little underdone, but you're still going
Speaker 5: to play and perform, right, So there was a real
Speaker 5: weighted numbers performance. You go from mac Crouch if you
Speaker 5: go on purely disposed was all the way to Dan Kurtin.
Speaker 5: They all had an influence in the game. They all
Speaker 5: played significant roles in the game.
Speaker 4: The three inclusions or four.
Speaker 5: Inclusions including Sid Drepa obviously is on his debut, all
Speaker 5: did their bit. Petling I thought he was a bit
Speaker 5: slow get gone, but after halftime he was a bit better.
Speaker 5: Cummings obviously played wing and kicked a couple of goals,
Speaker 5: influenced the game.
Speaker 4: And Neil Bullen just does what he does. He works
Speaker 4: up and down the ground, he's a great leader for
Speaker 4: that group.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was an all round performance. You know,
Speaker 5: one can test the possession, which was great. I think
Speaker 5: they were better on the outside, you know, they ran
Speaker 5: and covered the ground a fair bit better and.
Speaker 4: That opened the game up.
Speaker 5: But for me, the most important one was of the
Speaker 5: turnover game twelve six. They kicked Adelaide to three goal seven.
Speaker 5: So not only will they able to capitalize and hit
Speaker 5: the scoreboard in that part of the game, but they're
Speaker 5: able to defend it when Saint Kilda tried it or
Speaker 5: had their turn as well, and that's the most important thing.
Speaker 5: So sixty sixty five percent of your score comes out
Speaker 5: of that source. So if you can get that right,
Speaker 5: you're going to win more game they're not. And the
Speaker 5: stoppage game was pretty even, So yeah, it's going to
Speaker 5: be tough they all in terms of votes and those
Speaker 5: sort of things, because you know, arguably there's probably seven
Speaker 5: or eight that all deserve a vote today.
Speaker 6: Well, I think I said a couple of times with
Speaker 6: Timmy and you might have even been in their camp.
Speaker 6: It seems like it's been a faultless preseason. Faultless means
Speaker 6: they haven't had any unlucky injuries. They're fit. They had
Speaker 6: their full list to speak form or to select from.
Speaker 6: So tick to the PPT team and tick to the
Speaker 6: work they've done in I heard Taylor Walker saying, and
Speaker 6: look you hear it all the time. We're bigger, faster, stronger.
Speaker 6: Tick that box. We've heard Maddie Nick's speaking in the
Speaker 6: media and he also saying, we're after being a bit
Speaker 6: more mature. We think naturally our age is matured, but
Speaker 6: we're going to mature as footballers. We've been working on
Speaker 6: different modes of how we play. Now again it's one game.
Speaker 6: Let's not get carried away a bit like put Adelais
Speaker 6: got wallop. Now they're not going to get carried away.
Speaker 6: It's never as good as it seems or as bad
Speaker 6: as it seems. And they've focused one hundred percent for
Speaker 6: round one. Will tick tick tick, that's faultless. They can
Speaker 6: build from that. Now what have they got? They got
Speaker 6: Essendon away, North Sons and Geelong. They'll refocus to the
Speaker 6: next week's game, one week at a time in this
Speaker 6: group needs to build like that Sid Draper coming and
Speaker 6: he's going to be fantastic. What do they do with
Speaker 6: him next week? Dan Kurtin. They need to find a home.
Speaker 6: But it's been a faultless game today and bloody will
Speaker 6: prepared and will coached. There you go, and I very
Speaker 6: rarely say that for Maddie Nicks, but well prepared and
Speaker 6: well coached.
Speaker 5: Well, you just you know, obviously they get Murray Davis
Speaker 5: in what influences he having on you know, that coaching
Speaker 5: group and the playing group as well.
Speaker 4: I hear you know from you know, some of the
Speaker 4: ex players.
Speaker 5: He's been a great addition in the coach's box and
Speaker 5: the way he goes about is a bit unassuming, you know,
Speaker 5: not not necessarily you know, super well known in the
Speaker 5: but he's been around a long time.
Speaker 6: And obviously warm. I hear he's warm and people listen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and part of a premiership coaching group, so if
Speaker 5: you talk about you know, being there and doing it,
Speaker 5: he's got some runs on the board.
Speaker 4: So to play. Of course they're going to listen. They
Speaker 4: have to listen to what he's done.
Speaker 5: But yeah, not really good solid performance round one. They'll
Speaker 5: take a lot out of that Adelaide, no question, but
Speaker 5: there's got to be balanced. As you said, Rowie, let's
Speaker 5: not get too far ahead. But they tick the first
Speaker 5: box they do.
Speaker 1: This is our after the game thanks to Right Price roofing.
Speaker 1: You've got a leaky roof, total roof restoration, do it
Speaker 1: Wright with right Price roofing. The Crows are doing a
Speaker 1: nice lap around the ground with their fans and taking
Speaker 1: it all in a first round win. It was very
Speaker 1: comprehensive in the end, Adelaide a fantastic victory. But you're
Speaker 1: right in terms of just the how, that's that's the
Speaker 1: most The how.
Speaker 6: Was good and I remember sitting here after round one
Speaker 6: last week and what happened then? What you have over
Speaker 6: one hundred days to prepare and you put that out
Speaker 6: now put Adelaide fans be saying that what you've had
Speaker 6: one hundred days prepare, you put that out? What they
Speaker 6: did ninety one point this was better than last year.
Speaker 6: And as we said, you can only prepare and do
Speaker 6: what you want and do what you can against not position.
Speaker 6: And let's be quite frank, if we did call it,
Speaker 6: they were awful Saint Curna, and we knew they'd be awful.
Speaker 6: All of my mates that have bet on football have
Speaker 6: loaded up. I don't because they don't bet on footy
Speaker 6: eight double two to three double o double lines available?
Speaker 6: Have you say, who is your three to two one?
Speaker 6: Was it all played well? What did you like the most?
Speaker 6: Just looking down the front here I saw Neil barm
Speaker 6: and he's three piece suit sitting amongst the hierarchy as
Speaker 6: the new board member. You know what influences are all
Speaker 6: those decisions being made to this club and from the
Speaker 6: board down we're hearing it say football first organization. Well, hello,
Speaker 6: I think business is, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: And again it's one game.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 6: It's one game.
Speaker 4: Selling tires at your win screenshop. No, I'm not no, no, normally,
Speaker 4: how you do good?
Speaker 6: It sounds like a good idea diversifications all right?
Speaker 1: Your calls eight double two three double o double o.
Speaker 1: Jordan's at Corrimandal Valley can kick us off?
Speaker 5: How are you Jordan's okay?
Speaker 7: Boys, I'm fantastic, win really really really really impressed. I
Speaker 7: just think there's a lot we're going to do really
Speaker 7: well this year. My three two one one one Alex
Speaker 7: Neilbullen two, Vichelley three dors and I just thought those
Speaker 7: three were just really really helpful. It is really really good.
Speaker 2: Thanks go, thank you Jordan.
Speaker 1: Love your work all right, so give us a call
Speaker 1: a double two to three, double O, double O. Help
Speaker 1: Campo with his votes just as much as anything else.
Speaker 1: That's I don't need help jobs. I need some more
Speaker 1: votes to give out. Yeah, true, seven or eight.
Speaker 4: It's tough for anyway. It's a good problem to having.
Speaker 2: It it is.
Speaker 1: It's exactly what you want to have your thoughts, Crows fans,
Speaker 1: passionate views. On the back of what was a very
Speaker 1: successful first game. We'll take you to the MCD in
Speaker 1: about half an hour Melbourne and gw wes is what's
Speaker 1: to come West Coast and Gold Coast later in Perth
Speaker 1: for what is sort of Sunday evening football. It's a
Speaker 1: five forty start, so that's sort of a new changing
Speaker 1: fixture for the AFL with Sunday nights now coming into play.
Speaker 2: A great conditions in the end, two and a very
Speaker 2: good crowd.
Speaker 6: You'd love to see.
Speaker 1: Lots of fans out for the first game of the year.
Speaker 1: Forty two, nine hundred. It's a pretty good turnout as well.
Speaker 1: Your calls keep him eight double two to three, double O,
Speaker 1: double oh is the number? What about the let's go
Speaker 1: through the unique homestyle foods player spotlight There were moments
Speaker 1: there in the game where lots of different players had
Speaker 1: their sort of their moment as well, But who was
Speaker 1: the one player reckon, not to say the best player
Speaker 1: on the ground, but you maybe you were surprised by
Speaker 1: by just how much they were able to add to
Speaker 1: today's game.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to pre end one of it because
Speaker 5: he's going to get a vote.
Speaker 4: I thought Joshua Shelley was great today.
Speaker 2: So Jordan's call was on the march.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I think early on in the game he was unselfish,
Speaker 5: He did the right things, and he had four or
Speaker 5: five score involvements that set the game up. As I said,
Speaker 5: you can chime in when your team's up by sixty
Speaker 5: points and then you can get on the end of
Speaker 5: a few and the oppositions he got to give up
Speaker 5: for one of a better word, you know, and the
Speaker 5: game becomes a bit easier. So I always, as a coach,
Speaker 5: and even when I do this role, I look at
Speaker 5: early in the game, when the game's in the balance,
Speaker 5: who's actually really trying to get the game on their
Speaker 5: terms and who's having an influence.
Speaker 4: On the game early on.
Speaker 5: And I thought his game early was outstanding in terms
Speaker 5: of what he was able to do.
Speaker 4: I mean his numbers. I mean, you can't go past.
Speaker 5: He's had twenty one disposals, he's had seven contested possessions.
Speaker 5: He's had twelve score involvements, which is like five more
Speaker 5: than anyone else on the ground. So he's really and
Speaker 5: he's kicked two goals to himself, so he can't argue
Speaker 5: with those numbers. He's got a lot of knockers out there,
Speaker 5: but I thought he was great today.
Speaker 4: So that was one for me that you're seeing there going.
Speaker 5: I hope you learned his lesson last year, and it
Speaker 5: looked like the pennies dropped. He's come in, he's worked hard,
Speaker 5: He's now just a game. And what I get worried
Speaker 5: about with.
Speaker 4: Those sort of players is now it's happened. Does he
Speaker 4: just stay at that level? Does he continue to work?
Speaker 4: Does he? You know?
Speaker 5: Because the game, and I'd say this to my boys,
Speaker 5: don't stick your head up, because the game will just
Speaker 5: kick it straight off. Because if you can get ahead
Speaker 5: of yourself and you start just flirting with your form
Speaker 5: and maybe not doing your recovery as well as what
Speaker 5: you did, you know previously, because you on edge, which
Speaker 5: I don't think he will do, and I'm pretty sure
Speaker 5: the leaders won't allow him to do that because that's
Speaker 5: that's what they do, the Dawsons and the crowds of
Speaker 5: the world. But I was really pleased for him that,
Speaker 5: you know, off the back of last year with what happened,
Speaker 5: he got people last game of the year, and you know,
Speaker 5: maybe he was embarrassed, maybe he wasn't, but he came back,
Speaker 5: he got a lick, came back to work, did what
Speaker 5: he needed to do, and he put out a really
Speaker 5: game performance.
Speaker 6: I want to read this statue here that the Crows
Speaker 6: won the second most intercept possessions in their defensive fifty
Speaker 6: of any side last year. That's fact. These are facts
Speaker 6: from last year. Yet they rate sixteenth for converting these
Speaker 6: into forward fifty entries. Now, that would have been a
Speaker 6: work on. There's a lot of things that would have
Speaker 6: been a work on that was outstanding for him. As
Speaker 6: we listened to the song let's ever listen.
Speaker 8: Well done and there'll be a gatorade shower for sid
Speaker 8: dray hanse copy.
Speaker 6: So the work on was one of them. Was that
Speaker 6: so over in the back half? How do you play
Speaker 6: Formula one football and get it into your forward half
Speaker 6: then scoring because if you can with that late, they
Speaker 6: can get that one on one. The other thing is
Speaker 6: they've got to win when they're away. Now we're one
Speaker 6: game into it, now, this is this is one next
Speaker 6: week which will question. They have to win away. They
Speaker 6: have to be able to win the close ones. I
Speaker 6: think they were two and five for games decided by
Speaker 6: less than ten points. So that's another one that they've
Speaker 6: got to work on. Winning sena square and scoring from
Speaker 6: sena square. Well, Campo, you'll get the score for that
Speaker 6: very shortly, and then score from turnover. Now, all you
Speaker 6: can judge is what you've seen. They're well on their
Speaker 6: way to being that mature team with the talent that
Speaker 6: they've got. Walking in and Campo you said right, a
Speaker 6: number of people say, hey, Rowie, you reckon. This is
Speaker 6: the best talented team we've had since twenty seven am
Speaker 6: the Grand Final, and Campo you said, yes, it is.
Speaker 6: That's why I've said at the start of the year
Speaker 6: here there are no excuses here. It is now or
Speaker 6: never here. They've got to put it on the board
Speaker 6: and they can only do what they did today, and
Speaker 6: they did it brilliantly, loved.
Speaker 5: It and just to back up a couple of year
Speaker 5: what you're talking about in terms of D fifty, so
Speaker 5: they are able to kick three goals from kickings, so
Speaker 5: that's still a defensive exit right and that's a set play.
Speaker 5: So to get through and kick three that's more on
Speaker 5: Saint Kildo than his Adelaide, Like Adelaide took him to
Speaker 5: the sword. So three goals normally only average won a game.
Speaker 5: If that, you know, throughout the course of the year,
Speaker 5: then they've had they've kicked two out of their D
Speaker 5: fifty and then two out of their defensive mids, so
Speaker 5: they've been able to kick seven goals out of their
Speaker 5: back half of their ground. Now is that good ball movement?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: I think it was, but sometimes it's about the opposition
Speaker 5: and the lack of you know, defensive cover as well.
Speaker 5: But for me, it was a forward half game. That's
Speaker 5: that's what Matthew Nick will be really impressed about. You know,
Speaker 5: they had what's that fifty fifty one opportunities and what
Speaker 5: thirty nine of them went back inside forward fifty off
Speaker 5: that and they kicked what's ten goals seven out of
Speaker 5: that front half. So the game was definitely played in
Speaker 5: Adelaide's front half, and that's the.
Speaker 4: Most pleasing thing because that allows you defenders.
Speaker 5: Even though poor old Murras was a gas by the
Speaker 5: end of it, but cement in the boots. But you know,
Speaker 5: you get to protect your back six when you play that,
Speaker 5: and then you go to the center bounce.
Speaker 4: So in terms of center bounce.
Speaker 5: It was we inside of change, so it was twenty
Speaker 5: twenty two to eleven, So they win by nine in
Speaker 5: that part of the ground. So you don't always have
Speaker 5: to score out of that, but then that ties into
Speaker 5: your front half opportunities to score and you get to
Speaker 5: set the ground up, so a lot of those were
Speaker 5: all ticked this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Mitchin is going to join us in the Crow's winning
Speaker 1: rooms in a few minutes time here on five to
Speaker 1: bla footy, So stay tuned for that. But if you
Speaker 1: want to if you're driving home, you're at home and
Speaker 1: you've just watched what was a brilliant win for the Crows,
Speaker 1: we'd love your thoughts on the game. Eight double two
Speaker 1: three double o double Oh thanks the right Price Roofing,
Speaker 1: Leaky roof, Total roof restoration, do it right with right
Speaker 1: Price roofing. Mitch Hinge just in terms of his game today,
Speaker 1: we'll speak him a few minutes. What did he have
Speaker 1: on the RAA Insurance stat sheet today?
Speaker 5: We had the nine in disposals two hundred and five
Speaker 5: meters games, but and five score involvements. So yeah, he
Speaker 5: was probably one of those guys that you know, helped
Speaker 5: that ball move, and we saw it out of the
Speaker 5: back half when he kicked in a couple and he's
Speaker 5: got a penetrating left.
Speaker 4: Foot, hasn't he.
Speaker 5: You know that the ball moves a bit quicker and
Speaker 5: a bit longer and it catches the opposition.
Speaker 6: Now, rip my tape off something.
Speaker 2: I think there was a few questions on the back
Speaker 2: of the box for.
Speaker 6: A bloke that came into the game under an injury
Speaker 6: cloud bitness test. He's bloody and bort.
Speaker 9: Let's go to rope Hi, Jim, Yeah, Jimmy, first, I'd like,
Speaker 9: yet these goods didn't that how they thought the way played?
Speaker 10: And also in the sector that eye just felt at
Speaker 10: the ball but rooms a bit too easily at sometime,
Speaker 10: and I felt for myself that if Nan Curvis had
Speaker 10: been in and around that back line, that wouldn't happen.
Speaker 6: Well, Jim, we did say Nan Curvis was stiff he
Speaker 6: wasn't even one of the three emergencies, which shocked me
Speaker 6: even more. I watched bits of the South Adelaide Crows
Speaker 6: samful footy and it was clearly one of the best
Speaker 6: he can play. Look at his last four or five games.
Speaker 6: Fred laid he belongs at the level. The good thing
Speaker 6: about that is is he's going to keep Millery and
Speaker 6: and Hinge honest, Bond's going to keep lead. Honest. You've
Speaker 6: got depth now where if you have a little slip
Speaker 6: up for two or three weeks, you'd be sitting in
Speaker 6: the four B two s.
Speaker 1: And that's what that's the good makes you stronger at
Speaker 1: the top. Let's head down to the Crow's winning rooms.
Speaker 1: Mitch Hinge joins us. Now, Mitch, thanks for joining us
Speaker 1: on five double a footy mate. That must have been
Speaker 1: a whole lot of fun boys.
Speaker 4: It was a great win.
Speaker 2: It was a really, really good win.
Speaker 11: We've been jue for one of those, so we'll put
Speaker 11: that one under our arm and we'll go again next week.
Speaker 6: Hinji. It was just great for round one to see
Speaker 6: you improve on the areas as a team you've been
Speaker 6: working on in that one hundred days. The D fifty
Speaker 6: Fast Football just score from I thought was outstanding.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 11: I think our working side was really really good today
Speaker 11: where our contest was good and it was good all
Speaker 11: across the ground, which is very very pleasing.
Speaker 4: And you know, we had four.
Speaker 11: Or so boys that played their first games to the
Speaker 11: club and I think each one paid had a really
Speaker 11: big contribution today, So it was really good. And I
Speaker 11: think it was just one really good team effort. So
Speaker 11: you know, as I said, it's good fun. It was
Speaker 11: good fun out there and we'll go again.
Speaker 4: Well there, I'm Mitch Campo here. It looked really outstanding performance.
Speaker 4: I was really impressed.
Speaker 5: I mean you talk about it was a way to
Speaker 5: numbers perform, and you go from Matt Crouch if we
Speaker 5: went disposals wise, all.
Speaker 4: The way down to Dan Curtin all the way through.
Speaker 4: Everyone played their bit and.
Speaker 5: It just looks like a really even and you all
Speaker 5: look like you're on the same page.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 11: I mean, as you just touched on, we had a
Speaker 11: few things to work on over the summer, and coming
Speaker 11: into these games, you never really know how you're going
Speaker 11: to go. So that was that was what was really
Speaker 11: pleasing today. And I mean, I know we can't get
Speaker 11: ahead of ourselves and we've got a long season ahead,
Speaker 11: but it was a really nice one to, you know,
Speaker 11: to put a show out for the fans and have
Speaker 11: a good day.
Speaker 1: When it comes down to the talk of the club,
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks, it's been about how the
Speaker 1: club and the team have matured a lot more. What
Speaker 1: do you put that down to, Mitch in terms of
Speaker 1: how you have matured.
Speaker 11: I think we've just got to keep learning, learning along
Speaker 11: the way. Obviously we've got a few more mature bodies
Speaker 11: in over the summer. We've got a few in the
Speaker 11: coaching group, and we've got a few in the players
Speaker 11: as well. And also I think we've just learned from,
Speaker 11: you know, the areas where we've had to had to
Speaker 11: learn from in previous years. Like it hasn't just been
Speaker 11: a one summer build up. It's we've obviously they've been
Speaker 11: building for three or four years and last year didn't
Speaker 11: necessarily go as well as what we would have liked.
Speaker 11: So the boys are on edge today and you know,
Speaker 11: we're just really really excited to put our best best
Speaker 11: footy and best foot forwards for the year to come.
Speaker 6: Did you hear the raw when Sid drape it did
Speaker 6: a warm up and then did you hear the row
Speaker 6: when he ran out there and did you hear the
Speaker 6: rule when he got his first possession?
Speaker 11: I definitely and geeheez, I love what I saw as well.
Speaker 11: He was he was incredible, how his foot worth work
Speaker 11: around the stoppages, he's worked rate around the ground and jeez,
Speaker 11: he had some good contests as well, which we'd love
Speaker 11: to see from the younger boys. So no, he's gonna
Speaker 11: he's going to be very exciting for the future and
Speaker 11: hopefully it plays a big part in what Yeah twenty
Speaker 11: twenty five.
Speaker 6: Comes well from the new to the old. We just
Speaker 6: love what Matt Crouch did. His numbers as far as contestant,
Speaker 6: all the win, he does, the work he does in
Speaker 6: close and it was up against an absolute gun in McCrae.
Speaker 6: He's super important to this group, isn't.
Speaker 4: He he is.
Speaker 11: I think he goes under underappreciated at times, definitely external.
Speaker 11: I think inside we know how important he is, how
Speaker 11: strong he is.
Speaker 4: In the contest.
Speaker 11: He's you know, he's a premium mid and we're very.
Speaker 2: Very lucky to have him on our side.
Speaker 11: So as I said, I think he's what he's able
Speaker 11: to do is also you know, bring up with you know,
Speaker 11: Soligo's and Dawson and help these boys out as well.
Speaker 11: And that's what is going to take if we want to,
Speaker 11: you know, if we want to do anything this year.
Speaker 5: Mitch, I was really impressed and you spoke about the maturity,
Speaker 5: and I guess learning from things that.
Speaker 4: The start of that second quarter.
Speaker 5: We knew that, you know, Saint Kilda probably didn't have
Speaker 5: their best first quarter and Ross was always going to
Speaker 5: give him a bit of a lick at quarter time.
Speaker 5: But I thought your maturity in that first five or
Speaker 5: six minutes when they got the ball inside there forward.
Speaker 4: Half, you guys were really patient.
Speaker 5: He didn't give away any free kicks, and then you
Speaker 5: work the ball down up the wing this side and
Speaker 5: ended up being where Joshua Kelly josh h Shelley kicked that.
Speaker 4: Really nice goal snap over the shoulder, And I.
Speaker 5: Thought that was a real step in the right direction,
Speaker 5: because I reckon previously there might have been a sloppy
Speaker 5: free kick or forward fifty easy goal against.
Speaker 4: But I thought that was a pivotal moment in the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: It's obviously been a focus point.
Speaker 4: And something we've talked about.
Speaker 11: And if you want to be a good side, you've
Speaker 11: got to you know, when there I guess when it's
Speaker 11: going against you a little bit, you've just got to
Speaker 11: weather the storm for as long as possible and try
Speaker 11: not to get too many goals scored on you.
Speaker 4: So yeah, they did.
Speaker 11: They came out in that second quarter and they were
Speaker 11: really strong and it was really pleasing for the group.
Speaker 11: You know that we stood up and we probably still
Speaker 11: didn't play our best foot and I think there's still
Speaker 11: areas we can improve in that in that spot, but
Speaker 11: you're right, we just showed a little bit of maturity there.
Speaker 11: We were held up strong and then we'll finally able
Speaker 11: to break the game open, which was a lot of fun.
Speaker 6: Well done, Nichie. Just before we do let you go,
Speaker 6: were you under an injury cloud before you come on in?
Speaker 4: Were you not at all?
Speaker 2: Boys fresh as the days? And it was? It was good,
Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
Speaker 6: Well done mate, We love you out there. Great work.
Speaker 6: Enjoy the win. Round one done, it's the next week
Speaker 6: and settle up again, Michie. Thanks for your time, beautiful.
Speaker 11: Thanks man, have a good one.
Speaker 1: Mitching down there in the rooms. He was he really
Speaker 1: is and just such a great part of this team.
Speaker 1: We're just about everyone's available. They do have a really
Speaker 1: good starting twenty two of the Crows and look when
Speaker 1: they're healthy, let's see how long they can stay healthy.
Speaker 6: Four that's the key, that's their best twenty five can
Speaker 6: get it done totally.
Speaker 2: And a lot of AFL's top twenty five correct.
Speaker 4: Well, that's every team.
Speaker 5: I mean you go to look around the I mean
Speaker 5: St Kilda their direct opposition, they.
Speaker 4: Have their best twenty five available.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure it's a seventy point victory, but that's
Speaker 5: the art of an AFL list, isn't it To try
Speaker 5: and stay healthy and be healthy at the right time
Speaker 5: of the year as well, not only the start to
Speaker 5: get your season off to a flying start, because you
Speaker 5: don't want to be playing catch up like Adelaide did
Speaker 5: last year, but you want to be winning games that
Speaker 5: you should be winning, but also heading into the final
Speaker 5: series with a real healthy list.
Speaker 1: All right, if you're walking out of the Adelaide Oval,
Speaker 1: you've just come to see the Crows win. You've been
Speaker 1: watching at home eight double two to three double o double.
Speaker 1: Oh we'd love your views, your Crows fans takes on
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: Mitch has been here today, Mitch, how you.
Speaker 6: That was Mitch in the rooms?
Speaker 2: No, No, we got a different Mitch on the phone line.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's not with us.
Speaker 6: Let's go to Lindy.
Speaker 7: Hello, Lindy, Hi, Rowie, how are you?
Speaker 6: Yes, how are you looking anywhere? We've just run by
Speaker 6: ten goals and absolutely cockerhot.
Speaker 12: Yes, ah, I.
Speaker 11: That's really good.
Speaker 13: They paid it as a team. They kicked a lot
Speaker 13: straight and they were looking for their players. They knew
Speaker 13: where they wanted to go and I'm so happy. That's
Speaker 13: how you do a port fans.
Speaker 1: That's what's going to be all we port belted yesterday
Speaker 1: and the Crows getting a very nice, healthy today, So
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Well Collingwood at the MCG on the back of the
Speaker 6: poor performance, be tough, No they haven't, then know they haven't,
Speaker 6: and then sat curlity here who cannot win it? At
Speaker 6: who have been smashed by Adelaid by forty seven points
Speaker 6: in the last twelve games is the average losing margin.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's why everybody filled their boots up again,
Speaker 6: will responsibly except me, because they're awful. The team they
Speaker 6: put out there their four best forwards were out of
Speaker 6: the game. What are so, I said, how are they
Speaker 6: going to score?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Look then he scored ten goals.
Speaker 1: Not so early in the season. But is this ross
Speaker 1: Lyon team really going to do anything this year? I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like even the last couple of years they're
Speaker 1: just treading water a little bit. They missed the finals
Speaker 1: after two years ago.
Speaker 6: Who cares them?
Speaker 2: Just the general question.
Speaker 6: Answer because he's your special gold Because for me it's
Speaker 6: who cares?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's a little bit of that.
Speaker 5: But if you're asking, if you're a Saint Kilda supporter, look,
Speaker 5: they're battling, aren't they because they're just having you know,
Speaker 5: they just don't score offensively, and that's the way Ross
Speaker 5: coaches and that's his philosophy.
Speaker 4: He's in charge of the team.
Speaker 5: But I think they've they try to get some method
Speaker 5: in terms of their forward craft and whatever. But tird,
Speaker 5: when you don't have King, you know, if you don't
Speaker 5: have Riley Philthorpe and you don't have King at the
Speaker 5: other end, like there's no focal point. Like you're putting
Speaker 5: a ruckman today ahead of the ball and you're asking
Speaker 5: him to have an influence on the game and then.
Speaker 6: As you key forward.
Speaker 5: So that's very difficult from a coach perspective, and you're
Speaker 5: just trying to you know, I guess stick fingers in
Speaker 5: holes until you get your best players back.
Speaker 4: But each year is different.
Speaker 5: You just don't know, you know, I think you know,
Speaker 5: they drafted a couple of good kids in Taru, and
Speaker 5: you know, those sort of kids that might come in,
Speaker 5: you know, a bit earlier, just to try and give
Speaker 5: them some energy and see.
Speaker 4: What they can do.
Speaker 5: But you know, it's always a tough one to judge
Speaker 5: other teams at this point of the year because it's
Speaker 5: just so early, give them a.
Speaker 6: Month or so, there's not a big enough sample size.
Speaker 6: But again, at the how what I saw one hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty minutes of footy, what they're trying to work on.
Speaker 6: The numbers will do you that you only play the
Speaker 6: opposition you can play on. Let's wait and see how
Speaker 6: this first month goes. But remember, Crows fans, we were
Speaker 6: Noughton four and were awful as we went too defensive.
Speaker 6: We couldn't score. They have whether they've reconnected or they've rebooted,
Speaker 6: or whoever it is, it's telling them now, you know,
Speaker 6: let's get back to what we did two years ago.
Speaker 6: They were the number one scoring team in the comp.
Speaker 4: Well, they will be here after the weekend today.
Speaker 6: Will we sit second on the ladder as we speak?
Speaker 2: That's exciting, isn't it?
Speaker 6: So the give ladder.
Speaker 1: The Giants are currently in action against the D's. They
Speaker 1: are right at the top of the ladder two At
Speaker 1: the moment they are leading nineteen to eight in the
Speaker 1: first term, about six minutes left of that one.
Speaker 6: They I mean, look, if you were to make a
Speaker 6: massive statement, just a massive statement, not all teams have played,
Speaker 6: you'd say g WS and Hawthorne could be a reality
Speaker 6: in a prelim final. I'm never going to say a
Speaker 6: grand fall because that's ridiculous, but you.
Speaker 4: Know it's not.
Speaker 6: They're going to be up there when the whips are cracking.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Let's hope the Crows are. Yeah, let's hope so too.
Speaker 1: It's been a really really fun day in a Sunbathe
Speaker 1: Adelaide Oval. Now the fans have had a good little
Speaker 1: kick and catch and they've just been told to get
Speaker 1: back to their seats and head home because that's a
Speaker 1: it's a really good day we've got have we still
Speaker 1: got Mitch.
Speaker 2: There have we been told we've got some more calls
Speaker 2: to take Mitch? Are we going to go back to
Speaker 2: Mitch's boys?
Speaker 13: How are we doing there?
Speaker 6: Is? How there wasn't sorry Mitch?
Speaker 13: Sorry you all right, guys. Honestly, it is the excitement
Speaker 13: there because I'm pretty shuff. I'm pretty damn shuff. I've
Speaker 13: got to say it's been a great off season for
Speaker 13: us as a club, what we've managed to bring in,
Speaker 13: and there was some boys out there that had me
Speaker 13: feeling pretty damn excited today, I must say.
Speaker 6: Yep, mate, every every reason to be. The only thing
Speaker 6: that they got wrong was not letting cricket play the
Speaker 6: grand Finally.
Speaker 13: That's absolutely right now, Neil, how good was Neil Bullen
Speaker 13: helping link up from our half back into our forward line,
Speaker 13: something that's seemed to be missing a little bit. I
Speaker 13: had a bit of feeling about Tommy Lynch, about him
Speaker 13: back in his heyday, like he was just providing that
Speaker 13: link up for us. That was phenomenal. Miller getting through
Speaker 13: the full game, he showed good signs, looking fit, looking healthy.
Speaker 13: Was great to see him back out there. I'm just
Speaker 13: really just honestly, I can't say anything except I'm excited,
Speaker 13: and I'm not putting too much on it for the
Speaker 13: year because you can't get ahead of yourself. But we've
Speaker 13: got to be feeling like this is the best position
Speaker 13: we've been in in a number of years. And if
Speaker 13: we can't get a bit of hope and excitement about
Speaker 13: what's coming, I don't know what we'll get. You off
Speaker 13: your seat.
Speaker 6: Well done that nice and positive, Mitch. Don't you go
Speaker 6: putting the horse before the card, or getting excited with
Speaker 6: yourself or thinking too far ahead. Mitch, You've got to
Speaker 6: allow me to do that. Okay, there is heats of excitement.
Speaker 4: That's what grows.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's really creak it up, mate.
Speaker 4: Ground blow again.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no, I'm a producer. We've had not
Speaker 6: a lot to crow about. We've won a round one
Speaker 6: game by ten goals, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: This is a problem round one.
Speaker 5: Well, he said to me when I came here, don't
Speaker 5: let him drag me down.
Speaker 4: So I'm not getting involved in. I'll be the realist
Speaker 4: and he can get it's.
Speaker 1: Under your head and it doesn't who We got this
Speaker 1: to the next week away listening away and then they play.
Speaker 6: The lid that's right. We don't have a record against
Speaker 6: him under the lid.
Speaker 1: Then it's expected here at Adelaide against the Ruse to
Speaker 1: probably be a w And then you've got the Gold
Speaker 1: Coast away before gathering around.
Speaker 6: The Cats and then Geelong. Then the five weeks to
Speaker 6: we got Gelong gather around. Yeah, Thursday. That'll be a crack,
Speaker 6: won't it? That will be a cracker.
Speaker 1: Should we work through some of our postgame get the
Speaker 1: awards and sorry and before we go to before we
Speaker 1: get to our wards, an It.
Speaker 12: Blair, Hello, boys, what a game perfectly with the sacks
Speaker 12: up on the roofs on the ground.
Speaker 13: Atmosphere was absolutely electric at the ground and those boys
Speaker 13: played their guts out and you play, got.
Speaker 7: A feeling any day you want broke because iday.
Speaker 14: On give it a squirt my hand. So there's a
Speaker 14: lot of time you play that song on a good win. Alright,
Speaker 14: let's get the George, George Georgia as well, George.
Speaker 12: Get ahead, going guys, and fantastic, fantastic game, great waves
Speaker 12: one a year apart from that, apart from I'm coming down,
Speaker 12: my body is just starting to relax after all that
Speaker 12: great game. I just wanted to say Rowie. If you
Speaker 12: said to the last cup two callers ago, don't put
Speaker 12: the horse before the cart, you got to mate.
Speaker 6: I had to look and help yourself.
Speaker 12: But the expression is don't put the cart before the horse.
Speaker 12: But you flippers, I'm good on you, mate, are.
Speaker 6: You I What did I say? Put the horse before
Speaker 6: the car.
Speaker 2: That's exactly where it belongs, exactly where it belongs. Thank you, George, George,
Speaker 2: it's time rewards world on George. Thank you for recalling this.
Speaker 1: Get to our injury report which is a pretty good,
Speaker 1: clean bill of health for c OK Legal personal injury claim.
Speaker 1: For expert compensation advice, go to their website ce ok
Speaker 1: legal dot com dot are you no one on the
Speaker 1: injury list?
Speaker 6: Which was good?
Speaker 4: No? No, which was which is always good, isn't it.
Speaker 5: You know, for the start of the year, you don't
Speaker 5: want any unforeseen injuries, and there was a few that
Speaker 5: was coming off. Cummings is with his hammies and Murray
Speaker 5: looked a bit fatigued and those sort of things. But no,
Speaker 5: that's a that's a bonus, and they are able to
Speaker 5: get Taylor Walker some less game time just to look
Speaker 5: after him for the season.
Speaker 6: But see, okay, great company, very good stuff, Legal Beachwood Homes,
Speaker 6: real custom home builders.
Speaker 2: Our goal the day. We had twenty one of them
Speaker 2: to choose from.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, tough.
Speaker 5: I rounded it down to two, so I went Josh
Speaker 5: for Shelley in quarter two.
Speaker 4: That snap clever, good class. But I like Jordan Dawson.
Speaker 5: That that s ad bounced guy was believable from the captain.
Speaker 5: He just keeps We're not surprising me. He's just consistent,
Speaker 5: just a super leader for the group and they stand
Speaker 5: taller when he's playing.
Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: All right, McGain real Estate if you're selling their buyers
Speaker 1: ready to go.
Speaker 6: Our mark of the.
Speaker 4: Day, Yeah, I went. I went Jordan Dawson again with
Speaker 4: the one hand at that one that he just gloved
Speaker 4: in front of us. Yeah, when he was coming in.
Speaker 5: I mean there was some other you know, one on
Speaker 5: ones or whatever, but that was just super.
Speaker 4: He just gloved it with one hand and got it
Speaker 4: in there. So he's had a he's had a good
Speaker 4: after the excellent work.
Speaker 1: And now for our player of the day, this is
Speaker 1: the hardest hardest job you could possibly have thanks to
Speaker 1: unique homestyle foods. How do you possibly filter it down
Speaker 1: with three two one I've.
Speaker 4: Got three that I want to highlight that I couldn't
Speaker 4: feed in. You know, Jake's leg. I thought he was
Speaker 4: outstanding for the most of the game.
Speaker 5: I thought he was good early and then he had
Speaker 5: a little flat patch, but his second half was great.
Speaker 5: I was at rank and just continues to surprise or
Speaker 5: not surprise. But you know, he has twenty eight disposals,
Speaker 5: two goals, one seven score involvements, so he's unlucky. And
Speaker 5: I love FOG's game. You know, kick four he looked
Speaker 5: a real focal point for him up there. From that
Speaker 5: perspective in kick four straight, that's that's important. But one vote.
Speaker 5: I went Josh for Shelley. I thought he was great.
Speaker 5: I really enjoyed his game, a real mature game. And
Speaker 5: as we spoke about before when we had that initial
Speaker 5: call of Tuggers and Rowie, it was I love players
Speaker 5: when they get challenged to be able to rise and
Speaker 5: actually take the feedback right there and go bang here
Speaker 5: I go, I'm here. But Josh, if you're listening, stay
Speaker 5: level headed, mate, stay modest.
Speaker 4: And keep doing what you're doing because it's working with stuff.
Speaker 2: Two votes.
Speaker 4: I went Jordan Dawson. I thought he was outstanding.
Speaker 5: You know, I thought what he was able to do,
Speaker 5: particularly early in the game to get the game on Adelaide's.
Speaker 4: Term, unbelievable.
Speaker 5: Twenty seven disposals, had seven score involvements, kicked two goals too,
Speaker 5: through the midfield and was like Jack Steel was all
Speaker 5: over him at one stage. So to break through that
Speaker 5: was great. But as I said one of my philosophers
Speaker 5: who was getting their hands dirty and stuff earlier, and
Speaker 5: I just can't go pass Matt Crouch. You know the
Speaker 5: people will argue against that, but you know what he
Speaker 5: does and what he does to bring players into the game.
Speaker 5: He's had twelve contested possessions out of his thirty one,
Speaker 5: seven clearances.
Speaker 4: Four tackles and kicked the goal.
Speaker 5: He's not a noted goalkicker, so he's added to his
Speaker 5: game as well. So tough day to give votes. I
Speaker 5: mean there was you know, Neil Bullen could have thrown
Speaker 5: him in. I thought Warrell was good.
Speaker 4: At half back as well. Rory Lair was good at
Speaker 4: half back. I did like.
Speaker 5: Phil Thorpe's game probably up until a half time and
Speaker 5: then he didn't have you know, the second half that
Speaker 5: he did in the first half was by far the
Speaker 5: best player on the ground up until him and Jeordan
Speaker 5: Dawson in terms of influence of the game.
Speaker 4: So yeah, a few apologies there, but unfortunately they are
Speaker 4: the three two one.
Speaker 6: They were my three two one two perfect. They say
Speaker 6: grape vine steak lawn.
Speaker 4: Well, actually, can I say one?
Speaker 5: I wanted to give you three for your three games
Speaker 5: with the text Walkers sub one very standing, well done.
Speaker 2: Really, that's a good prediction we've seen very long time.
Speaker 6: You know, the story about blond squirrels sent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I like is actually you thought about it.
Speaker 6: It was it was.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not being disrespectful, but it was great.
Speaker 2: Like when you said on.
Speaker 5: There actually smart, which is which was great.
Speaker 2: Let's see what wisdom comes out this week. It's going
Speaker 2: to be a good week for the sports show.
Speaker 4: I'm sure.
Speaker 6: That he will have that big square jewelry his hanging
Speaker 6: on the crown with his mouth.
Speaker 2: He should have seen it last night.
Speaker 6: He will be beside himself. What do they lose?
Speaker 1: By ninety one, Ken's biggest ever loss for Port Adams.
Speaker 6: It was huge. Do you not miss us from four
Speaker 6: o'clock tomorrow because I'm gonna bring in some accelerant. He's
Speaker 6: gonna put some accelerant on the fire. No, don't do that.
Speaker 6: Be better Steven have clapped the high ground show some class,
Speaker 6: be the be the better person.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit to the mcg the crows here and
Speaker 1: laid Overal have won over the Saints by sixty three points.
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow on the Sports Show from four.
Speaker 1: Have a great afternoon.
