Speaker 1: That's so Hello to our next guest.
Speaker 2: Our next guest is a Ford for North Melbourne, affectionately
Speaker 2: known as Tom.
Speaker 1: Last time he was in.
Speaker 2: Studio, he hard launched his girlfriend alive on here.
Speaker 3: This is a hard launch. This is a beautiful Olivia.
Speaker 3: Do you love it? I do?
Speaker 2: What a moment and I believe this time he promised
Speaker 2: our producers hit do something even big out.
Speaker 3: Please welcome to the studio.
Speaker 4: Charlie comment Charlie, good morning, Good morning guys, thanks for
Speaker 4: having me again.
Speaker 1: Welcome back.
Speaker 4: We love having you in the studio. Now you boys
Speaker 4: all squirmed when you said that you loved to go.
Speaker 5: That's so weird for you.
Speaker 2: Clinty, Well, I've never been in love Lauren, so I
Speaker 2: wouldn't know what it's like.
Speaker 4: Now has your girlfriend forgiven you for dragging her into
Speaker 4: the studio to meet the whole of Melbourne YT?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she has no. She was very good about it.
Speaker 3: I thought she spoke really well on as well. But
Speaker 3: it blew up into a bit of a check the media,
Speaker 3: media skill, a media storm a few days after I
Speaker 3: got everywhere, and it didn't really bargain for So.
Speaker 4: Now that's Jase's fault. Whoa whoa, it was your idea,
Speaker 4: it wasn't She said, call her now and get her
Speaker 4: in here. Then he said to our producers, off there,
Speaker 4: go down to the car parking.
Speaker 1: Ye prints he left her in the car with the
Speaker 1: window down a bit. I was like, that is rude.
Speaker 1: Bring her in. I was just offering the girl some shelter, yeah,
Speaker 1: and con the coffee.
Speaker 2: The Herald's un Confidential went big on it.
Speaker 3: That was it must have been a highlight. The one
Speaker 3: that got me, though, Clint, was Daily Mail.
Speaker 5: They are they always get it right.
Speaker 3: They printed my name as Charlie Coomban about.
Speaker 4: If it makes you feel any better. The Daily Mail
Speaker 4: have been writing that I'm forty seven for the.
Speaker 1: Last time, which is not true.
Speaker 2: That's come on, can we talk some footy Charlie? Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's do it now. Big game for the Ruse this
Speaker 2: weekend because I mean they've been improving, they've been going
Speaker 2: to some decent results recently and the supporters should be
Speaker 2: really encouraged by the form. But a real test looms
Speaker 2: against arguably the addstick of the competition, the Pies. How
Speaker 2: do you attack that game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll come in with a lot of confidence. The
Speaker 3: last four weeks have been really good in terms of
Speaker 3: improvement and being in games late. We've defended the ground
Speaker 3: a lot better, so we'll look to take confidence from
Speaker 3: that into this game against Collinwood and hopefully play that
Speaker 3: was written on the white board.
Speaker 1: Be interesting. You mentioned like, you know, holding confidence and
Speaker 1: holding on right to the end. That's when the Pies
Speaker 1: sort of do their best work. They're normally the comeback.
Speaker 3: They're always been really good late in games and they
Speaker 3: won that premiership two years ago based off really coming
Speaker 3: home strong and winning late games. So we'll have a
Speaker 3: big test. They're unbelievable, so they're first in the competition
Speaker 3: for a reason. So it's a big charge for us
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 4: Does it help your confidence a little bit playing at
Speaker 4: Marvel instead of at the MCG.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a home game for us, so we'll expect
Speaker 3: a big crowd arouse supporters down there, and they make
Speaker 3: a big noise for being small in numbers.
Speaker 5: So crowd really like is there having a home ground?
Speaker 4: Obviously the ground is one thing, but having your home
Speaker 4: team supporter base there being that loud, is that really
Speaker 4: a game changer?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It's funny. Lots of people ask this and it does
Speaker 3: make a big difference. It's it's momentum and momentum that
Speaker 3: ten times is a lot in is a lot in football,
Speaker 3: and when you hear the crowd really getting behind you
Speaker 3: when you've kicked two goals in a row, it really
Speaker 3: does it.
Speaker 5: Does you are help? Some wonder that if I'm actually
Speaker 5: it's going to help.
Speaker 1: The roof because she's going to be a wet wie.
Speaker 4: Yes, you play inside all the time if that's your
Speaker 4: home ground. Is it hard when you get up to
Speaker 4: the MCG in the elements?
Speaker 3: Yes? No, we play a lot of games down in
Speaker 3: Hobart and Tasmania, which we've been lucky to have good weather,
Speaker 3: but sometimes it chops up there and gets really windy,
Speaker 3: so so we get Yeah, it's so hard to catch
Speaker 3: the ball. We get the best of both worll Hey,
Speaker 3: can I.
Speaker 2: Ask you about Alastair Clarkson, because I know he's been
Speaker 2: very big for you and your development. You've come, you've
Speaker 2: come along in leaps and bounds this year. Especially what's
Speaker 2: he like as a coach and a mentor is from
Speaker 2: the outside looking in, a lot of us would probably
Speaker 2: think he's a bit of a you know, he's a
Speaker 2: real tough guy might give players a spray. I mean,
Speaker 2: is it a mix of of hard love and also
Speaker 2: cuddling you as well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he touched and he's been instrumental in my career
Speaker 3: the last two years. He moved me from forward to
Speaker 3: go down back and it more or less saved my
Speaker 3: career from injury. So I've got Clark to thank for that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's really genuine in care and he likes
Speaker 3: to build relationships with his players. But he still does
Speaker 3: have that hard edge, a coped bit of a spray.
Speaker 3: Yesterday training I missed the kicks, So he's still got
Speaker 3: the hard edge, but he you know, he's when to
Speaker 3: bring it out. He directed me to kick it along
Speaker 3: a few times from a certain set play and I
Speaker 3: didn't in this circumstance, and he just whacked his hat
Speaker 3: in his head. He said, John, kick it long? How
Speaker 3: many times you have.
Speaker 5: To tell you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: It's like, did you know?
Speaker 3: I knew I'd made a mistakes? So yeah, he always
Speaker 3: follows up afterwards.
Speaker 2: When the dog jumps on the couch, right, get off
Speaker 2: the couch, do.
Speaker 1: You know better? Yes? I did the same with the
Speaker 1: kids that the kids. Charlie Comman is in from the

Speaker 6: of my life. Yeah, and my wife Bella obviously that's
Speaker 6: really difficult, but yeah, I think it's for me.
Speaker 3: It's been.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've gotten through together, which is the main thing.
Speaker 6: It's given me a feeling that I never would have
Speaker 6: had before the injury. I think I took footy for
Speaker 6: granted a little bit, but and life. But it makes
Speaker 6: me realize how lucky we are.
Speaker 2: On Track, he's a Premiership player these days and they
Speaker 2: take on the Swans on Sunday at the mcg brother Oh,
