1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Big game, Sydney Swan's taking on the gold Co Sons

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: at the CG this Saturday. And I tell you what,

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: it is so good to see this man back out

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: in the field. He's had a hamstring problem, but he

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: is lethal around the goals. It's Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, how

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: are you feeling, buddy?

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: Good back on the field last week which was good,

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: but their first up bit scratchy. But checking up this

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: week and they'll be right.

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: It's so good to have you back. I mean the

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: boys have been playing really really well without you, Tommy.

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, have they been saying that to you, we

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: don't need you back in the side. Have there been

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: a bit of a chat with your teammates?

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: So I thought I was thinking.

17
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: I was even thinking maybe just staying re just until

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 3: the back end of the year, then time I run

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: for hopefully finals. But I thought I better get back

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 3: in there.

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: So were you at the ground for buddies? Yeah?

22
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: I was a goal unfortunate. I was actually on the

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: bench on the on the cans. I was amazing experience.

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: It was. It was good. I wish I could kick

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: it to him.

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: But how do you do you keep a lid on

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: buddy like in terms of now in the ego, I mean,

28
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: is he settled down since the massive occasion?

29
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: He's he's it was pretty good.

30
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: It's he's sort of a he's a great fellow like

31
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: his kid. Really yeah, And then it was great after

32
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: the after the game he saw it was all his

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: family come in the all the boys had a couple

34
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: of beers and enjoyed it. But my girlfriend actually was

35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: running on the field and video in herself and run

36
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: straight into Patrick Dangers, dropped her phone and Paddy down.

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Did you how far did you get close to him?

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Did you run out or did you just stay avoid?

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: Well?

40
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: I was on the bench and I was thinking about it.

41
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: I still have me hammy obviously, but as soon as

42
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: he kicked it, there was already cuss on the field.

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: He couldn't even bother get there.

44
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: What about the horse, There was some great that There

45
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: was a clip that went viral. I viewing a couple

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: of mates that have gone into a horse and it

47
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: was coming when it come around the churn and he

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,720

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: out of the seats, oh, with your tops off and

50
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: you're all cheering it on. That was a great moment.

51
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: What's the horse's name?

52
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: This is pretty funny, Champs to your but yeah, it's

53
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,800

54
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: Alice Springs AND's come last twice. So it was with

56
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,440

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. It's good fun, good interest.

60
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Could you see yourself as a horse trainer one day?

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,240

62
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Good?

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: What if you do?

64
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: You reckon? If you could ring your old man? I

65
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: know he's a bit of a character as well. What's

66
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,880

00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: be a horse racing ambassadorship.

71
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: Or a position for me.

72
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: The thing is it's quite extensive and it looks like

73
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I have to give up my AFL career. What would

74
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,440

00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: This is good.

79
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: But I mean this, If you tell him that you're

80
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: leaving your AFL career, I'm a horse racing am this

81
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: will be very interesting. I asked Tommy to do this.

82
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: You've written a couple of things down, aren't you. Yeah,

83
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,720

00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: driving in the middle of nowhere, driving trucks and delivering.

89
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 3: So hopefully he's hopefully he's in a bad mood.

90
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes, action did you hear when we did Isaac Keene

91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,000

00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: One was amazing. Okay, all right, let's do this.

93
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Let's give Dave ad call.

94
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: The meeting was pretty interesting yesterday with Tony and Calvin.

95
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: The Victor Racing CEO was on there as well, Giles Thompson.

96
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: Really yeah, it was pretty full on stuff, so we

97
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: spoke about all different stuff.

98
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: The main points were to get young people into racing.

99
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: We spoke about it a fair bit about Obviously I've

100
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: got a nice contract in things at Sydney and what

101
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: they've offered VIC Racing is a ten year contract similar

102
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: to what I'm on now. And then obviously I just

103
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: work with them learning the ropes for ten years. So

104
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: that's that the pros of it. Obviously, moved back home

105
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 3: into my house in Middle Park, not have to pay

106
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: rent here. Then this is probably the main one, just

107
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: the longevity. I can only probably play can only probably

108
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: play footy for another eight years. I can train until

109
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: I'm sixty. But there's just this is a hard part.

110
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: There's one condition they need to know within by the

111
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: sixth of June, and I have to tell Horse that

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to retire.

113
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah a footing.

114
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're prepared to do that. Well, look at

115
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: all the pros and cons, Like I can only well,

116
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about my future when I'm finished footy.

117
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I'm gonna do. I can

118
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: do this till I'm sixty. Have you thought about it? Yeah,

119
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: I've thought about it. Imagine all the chips we can

120
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: get as well. Uh hu.

121
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: Uh we.

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: Just think about it rather than over night. Yeah, what

123
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: do you think? I think you're crazy?

124
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, you could keep all the blocks at home and

125
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: we could start a breeding farm down there and everything.

126
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: There's not much. There won't be any chance at all

127
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: doing that. Mate. You're a long time.

128
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: Retired from footing and you've got a long, a long future.

129
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Idiot.

130
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: I just think you will rue.

131
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: The day in fifteen years.

132
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: Why could I do that? I don't know. Oh, you

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: know my thoughts on racing, but.

134
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: Also you know, yeah, you've got to have a future,

135
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: but you can also set it.

136
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: Properly. I don't know. I just think, I really think

137
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: if things fall in the ass, people aren't.

138
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Going to gamble as much.

139
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: They're always going to go and watch footage. You know,

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: it's just right to going up.

141
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: People are going to tighten their belts.

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: Mate, that's up to you.

143
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: I well, you're not in.

144
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: My opinion anyway.

145
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 3: Dan's not just because you're playing apl all that hard work,

146
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: it will be for nothing.

147
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Really, Dave David's I need to interject you here.

148
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: It's fitting with it from Nova.

149
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: Mate, your son stitch you up on radio.

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Do you honestly think that your son was going to

151
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: give up his footy career to become an ambassador and

152
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: horse racing.

153
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: Mate, that little wouldn't know what he's doing.

154
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: Some really good tips though, that would have.

155
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: Been great, mate, mate, I nearly crushed the track.

156
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: What a moment.

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: You know what, You're very supportive, Dave. I thought that

158
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: made you're actually giving some advicey, but god, you love

159
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: sitting at the SCG and watching Tommy kick goals. You

160
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,080
