1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: You are on the air with Jason and Lauren Clints

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: here as well, and so is a good friend of

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: the show. Pies by Mason Cups is in the house.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: It's been a long time. I feel like we used

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: to come here every week.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 3: It's been a long footy season. It has Jason is

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 3: now pulling on the boots. But we're not talking about Jake.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 4: It's been happening in you.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 5: He just asked me if I'm still a Pies fan.

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 6: I'm like, absolutely, Yeah, you're holding on next to you.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: Are you thinking about jumping ship?

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 5: No, you're of course. I got a message from Mason.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: This is a few weeks back when we went to

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: the footy and Clinton I ended up in the Hawks

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: change room.

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 4: Right now, What did you say, Mace?

17
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 5: He said, I remember, he said, I'm not angry. I'm just.

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 6: Ma you are playing VFL at the moment, but I

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 6: would like to think that you're a chance to slot

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 6: into that Collingwood line up next Thursday night against the Crows.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 5: We need him. What do you reckoning?

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: I have no idea. We won't find that out until

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 2: next week kind of what selection looks like. But yeah,

24
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: it's been an interesting into the season for the for

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: the team. Luckily we made top four, which is a

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: huge tip.

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 4: Is that a huge relief.

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: Massive relief to get a double chance. It's awesome, It's incredible.

29
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: It's a sixteen wins we had to have this year.

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: It's usually it's fourteen to make finals. So it's been

31
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 2: a really close AFL season, which is growth for the fans,

32
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: and fans have absolutely loved it. So getting that double

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: chance is definitely a massive win.

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: What's the vibe like at the club at the moment.

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. Well, we have the week off, the

36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: weekend off, so obviously pro finals by so it's a

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: lot of just refreshing, you know. I think everyone just

38
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: kind of is. You know, it's an exhausting year. It's

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of games throughout the year,

40
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: so to have a week off just to recharge is

41
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: such a good film.

42
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: Yes, with that week off, we're talking about it before

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: because all the finals teams get a week off. Now.

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: Then if you win your first game, because one place

45
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: before you get the second chance. If you win, then

46
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: you have another week off. Is it good or does

47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: it feel like you've played one game in three weeks

48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: leading into the final two games of the season.

49
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I prefer to have another week off. Yeah,

50
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: you get the rest and then you don't have to

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: play an extra game. So it's I don't know, I

52
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: think that that week off is a great recharge. I

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: don't know what the percentages of like teams that went

54
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: after that week off and stuff is, but it's the

55
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: easier way around of winning a premiership rather than having

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: to go the four games, getting three and winning the

57
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: whole thing. So yeah, it's a big game.

58
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 6: What's the rivalry like with the Adelaide Crows now, because

59
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 6: it's sort of exploded a couple of weeks back, what

60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 6: with the very unsavory comments directed your way, not your way,

61
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 6: but to one of your teammates by Isaac Greenkin. Is

62
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 6: there something simmering here in terms of a rivalry.

63
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: Geez, we have an ex player, Mark Keane. That's there.

64
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that's always kind of fun to play

65
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: against ex players, right, you always kind of get into

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: it a little bit, right, it's like, oh, you left us,

67
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: you know we're going to like we've had a few

68
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: words I think with the team. I think it was

69
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: at the MCG this year. There's a bit of a scuffle,

70
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: but there's a bit of a push, and Sharvet would say,

71
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: I think it was a quarter of time or halftime.

72
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 6: Feels like it's getting spicy.

73
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm here for it, but it's whenever you got as

74
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: long as you're keeping play that you know there's everything's

75
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: on the line, and you know that kind of creates tension,

76
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: that creates excitement, and that creates an environment that is

77
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: highly competitive.

78
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, well the VFL players train with the main team.

79
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

80
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everyone will train together and then they'll release

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: like the list of who's playing that weekend.

82
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 5: Is that how it works?

83
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

84
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 6: Hey, speaking of the Isaac Crankin situation, which was, as

85
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 6: I said before, very unsavory. You countered that with what

86
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: happened yesterday and Mitch Brown, who showed a met's courage.

87
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 6: We spoke about it on the show a little earlier,

88
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 6: becoming the first AFL player, be it past or present,

89
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 6: to come out as either gay or bisexual. Your immediate reaction.

90
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Awesome, Yeah, probably overdue, that's all we're saying. Earlier. I mean,

91
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm somewhat new to the sport. Obviously,

92
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: it's been for over one hundred and thirty years or

93
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: something like that. So statistically you would think that someone

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: you know at some point, but I probably just didn't

95
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: feel comfortable to come out.

96
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: It's really sad, isn't it that you need to wait

97
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: till you retire to What.

98
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 5: About back home in the NFL?

99
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Is it is it a more comfortable environment for people?

100
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't until recently that someone did. Yeah.

101
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: I think it was a fellow from Colorado University. I

102
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: think they got drafted, but that was within probably the

103
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: last decade, so yeah, so it's somewhat new for them also.

104
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: But it takes a lot of courage. What Minch did.

105
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people. Hopefully he's feeling the

106
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: love at the moment, because I know that can be

107
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: quite do it.

108
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: Just brother played with the Magpies as well, so you'd

109
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 6: know the family very well. But what will this do

110
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 6: to the game or what do you hope it does

111
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 6: to the game and what sort of channels would open up?

112
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: I hope it just normalizes it, like I would hope

113
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: at some point that someone doing this is not newsworthy.

114
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: This is yeah, I actually get I don't want to

115
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: take own has been amazing.

116
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: I don't want to take anything away.

117
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm the same, I don't want to take anything away

118
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: from Mitch, but I'm frustrated that we have to talk about.

119
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: This as an announcement exactly.

120
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: It just shouldn't be that way.

121
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: And I think there would be a lot not a lot,

122
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: but there would be other men and women out there

123
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: just living their lives just privately, but no one has

124
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: publicly come out, and probably because of the pressure that

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 3: it brings with being the first person to publicly do

126
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: it publicly come out since playing a look.

127
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 6: To counter it with what happened a week ago. Yeah,

128
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 6: is something we should celebrate because.

129
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely ago is.

130
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 6: It could have destroyed so many people. What Mitch did

131
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 6: yesterday is something that we should celebrate.

132
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: We should be celebrating Mitch, and we should be having

133
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: a good hard look at ourselves, where the AFL and

134
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: the culture we've got because it's got a long way

135
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: to go.

136
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

137
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: He definitely will make the path much easier for those

138
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: following in his foosteps, which is true. Thing.

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: If you're around Saturday Avon, you want to fill in

140
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: for me a the Dads footing match by all mates, so.

141
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 4: You have to adob one of his children though.

142
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: You've got to look after them, to be honest.

143
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: This is becoming win win for me.

144
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: He would make a good decoy.

145
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: He really would do. AFL just get battered.

146
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: So nice to see you man for the coming weeks.
