Speaker 1: You are on the air with Jason Lauren Clint here
Speaker 1: as a well time to talk forty and what a
Speaker 1: match Blues against you long on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Harry.
Speaker 3: It's been great for Harry the footballer.
Speaker 4: But what a day for Harry the human being.
Speaker 5: Fly Harry mckuy and all the people say he's pretty
Speaker 5: fly Harry murcay.
Speaker 4: Harry mcguy's in the house in the morning. In morning, we.
Speaker 6: Want to win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very good win.
Speaker 4: What a game you go to riper mate, well done,
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good fun.
Speaker 6: Have you got a black eye?
Speaker 7: It's more purple now, I reckon it's slowly going away.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I've got a couple of weeks ago against
Speaker 7: in gather around, had a bit of a head clash.
Speaker 3: So it was a bit of a secret that you
Speaker 3: carried into this game. You had four facial fractures.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you could say five six, can add another one
Speaker 7: every week. But yeah, so, as I said, had a
Speaker 7: bit of a head clash and unfortunately there's a few
Speaker 7: fractures there, but you can't do much about it. So
Speaker 7: well in cheekbone, yeah, cheek bone, the orbit bone, I don't.
Speaker 4: Know an your eye, Yeah, so I thought you just
Speaker 4: had feelers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Hey, first things first, I just wanted to check in
Speaker 1: because look, at the start of the season we said, look,
Speaker 1: Harry's going to be joining us on the show All
Speaker 1: the Top, and then sort of you disappeared for a
Speaker 1: while and you came out and said, you know, you
Speaker 1: were battling with some mental health stuff.
Speaker 4: We just want to check how you're doing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks, Mane. Yeah, I'm going really well obviously. Yeah,
Speaker 7: a little bit of a different couple of months, but yeah,
Speaker 7: in a really good space now, and the love and
Speaker 7: support has been really profound. So really lucky to be
Speaker 7: in a good place and back playing footy, and yeah,
Speaker 7: obviously never ideal to go through, but I really appreciative
Speaker 7: and grateful to be back in a nice place. And yeah,
Speaker 7: sometimes there's footing sometimes his life, and I think through
Speaker 7: this all prioritizing your health and well being kind of
Speaker 7: his main thing, which is, yeah, it's really nice to
Speaker 7: being a good spot.
Speaker 8: I think it's so awesome when people, and in particular men,
Speaker 8: because men don't talk about it as much, put their
Speaker 8: hand up and say I actually need some time out,
Speaker 8: I need to take Jase, you're really you're really open
Speaker 8: about this stuff as well.
Speaker 1: You've sort of pushed me over the years to be honest,
Speaker 1: You've reminded me that he at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: this is a job.
Speaker 6: Yes, and there's a whole world, a whole life out there.
Speaker 8: So well done to you, because I think you probably
Speaker 8: have helped so many other people take a step back
Speaker 8: when they need to take some time off and go
Speaker 8: this is a priority and this is what's important.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think part of the reason why. Obviously
Speaker 7: it's quite personal what you go through and that's always
Speaker 7: your own story, but as someone that's lucky enough to
Speaker 7: have a bit of a platform and be somewhat in
Speaker 7: the public eye, to be able to share what you're
Speaker 7: going through and to you know, we said, me and
Speaker 7: my twin brother, we spoke about it on our podcast
Speaker 7: and we thought if it could help one person, then yeah.
Speaker 6: It is personal. That's the other thing.
Speaker 8: Like you're a footballer, you're in the public eye. We
Speaker 8: all know you, people love you, and people want to
Speaker 8: know so much about you. But that must be hard
Speaker 8: as well because it is deeply personal and there are
Speaker 8: some things you shouldn't have to talk about, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think That's the beauty of what we
Speaker 7: do is so many people love what you do and
Speaker 7: I want to know everything's going on and always comes
Speaker 7: from a great place. But yeah, as you said, sometimes
Speaker 7: there's things that are personal and for you and your
Speaker 7: family to work through, but as I said, it's always
Speaker 7: from a place of care, and they always, yeah, they
Speaker 7: always want.
Speaker 4: To chat with the team.
Speaker 1: When you said, hey I need some time out, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really great. And because that wouldn't have been easy.
Speaker 7: No, I think, yeah, it's never easy to well one say,
Speaker 7: you put your hand up and you need to help it.
Speaker 7: Our football club is so good at supporting each other
Speaker 7: and caring and whenever someone's going through something, the ability
Speaker 7: to wrap the rounds around that person and help. And yeah,
Speaker 7: this situation was no different. Everyone was so beautiful. And also, yeah,
Speaker 7: the amount of people that kind of resonate or have
Speaker 7: a shared experience after that and come up and chat
Speaker 7: through it.
Speaker 2: Because so it was really great.
Speaker 3: So how then comes the comeback? And I felt really
Speaker 3: good myself watching you play great footy at the weekend.
Speaker 3: Tell us what that feeling is like for you, especially
Speaker 3: in front of the Carlton faithful when you know, we
Speaker 3: know the Blues, the Blue Bags when they're up and
Speaker 3: about that, they love and support their own right. What
Speaker 3: having been through what you have gone through the start
Speaker 3: of this year, what did that feel like?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 7: It was as you said, the Carlton supporters, they're so passionate,
Speaker 7: so the amount of energy they create, especially at the
Speaker 7: MCG is amazing. And yeah, to be able to it's
Speaker 7: just be out there playing footy with my mates and
Speaker 7: in front of a home crowd and it was just
Speaker 7: so fun and yeah, definitely felt the love and yeah,
Speaker 7: it was just it was so fun to be out
Speaker 7: there the foot He felt fun, which which is I
Speaker 7: think sometimes as you get older. It's obviously there's a
Speaker 7: lot of things that come to playing footay, but we
Speaker 7: start because we love it as a kid and we
Speaker 7: do it because it was so fun and definitely Sunday
Speaker 7: was a reminder of that, and yeah, it was a great.
Speaker 4: Afternon Now after a win, the bully bag is wrung
Speaker 4: with this and so the.
Speaker 3: Premiership favorite, especially when Harry is plunking them and everywhere.
Speaker 6: You might be keeping a lit on it, Harry.
Speaker 8: But let me tell you, Mike, Carlton supporting friends have
Speaker 8: gone feral.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're back, We've got it.
Speaker 3: How much confidence do you get from a win over
Speaker 3: a premiership favorite like Geelong because they were playing going
Speaker 3: to that match, they've been playing some hot footy as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I think obviously the two weeks before that
Speaker 7: we had some a solid couple of wins, but we're
Speaker 7: really keen to come up against a team who was
Speaker 7: I think they was sitting second or third on the ladder,
Speaker 7: and yeah, we felt like we'd probably turned the corner
Speaker 7: in terms of how we're playing and some of the
Speaker 7: key things that we look for in our game. We're
Speaker 7: in really strong position, so we're keen to I guess,
Speaker 7: challenge it against one of the best sides and to
Speaker 7: come on top and win. It's been a really three weeks.
Speaker 4: Similarly similar vibe down in Melbourne.
Speaker 3: Clinton, Well, they have won two in a row, so
Speaker 3: they're going along.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: Not a similar vibe with my Mighty Tiger.
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't going to.
Speaker 6: We have just not in a row for question to
Speaker 6: take the week.
Speaker 1: To rest, take the week. Harry McCay form The Mighty

Speaker 8: And all the people say, he's pretty fly Harry McKay.
Speaker 4: Call she get you that audio for them to play
Speaker 4: when you get a goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: You know what I did love when we were over
Speaker 8: in Adelaide for gather around what was Adelaide or Port Adelaide,
Speaker 8: Clint that when their players kicked a gold, they got
Speaker 8: a song.
Speaker 6: They've got their own.
Speaker 3: A lot of the clubs do that, Yeah, a lot
Speaker 3: of them. The Brisbane line sort of started it, and yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of the clubs.
Speaker 2: Are doing it.
Speaker 6: What would what song would you have when you kicked
Speaker 6: a goal?
Speaker 4: Well, just we'll give you that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that would be great. That'd be the first choice.
Speaker 7: Maybe a bit of Taylor Swift?
Speaker 6: Did you go when she was here?
Speaker 2: He actually didn't go. Oh man, I went a few
Speaker 2: years ago, but I didn't didn't go to this one.
Speaker 4: I can see you at the nineteen eighty nine to
Speaker 4: it actually was yeah.
Speaker 8: Filthy sitting behind you, Harry.
Speaker 3: Before we get to these questions from from some young blues,
Speaker 3: I want to ask you a question about the handsome
Speaker 3: roosters at the carlt And Footy Club, because there are
Speaker 3: a few, right including the coach.
Speaker 4: Now, someone in.
Speaker 3: This room has then the horn.
Speaker 2: For Bossy and it's not Jason. I okay, it's Lauren.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you find Vossy handsome?
Speaker 2: Handsome man?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Laren tell us about I just.
Speaker 6: Think he's got some kind of like.
Speaker 2: An aura, definitely.
Speaker 8: And he's just calm and he's nice, and he's got
Speaker 8: don't mind a bit of ginger.
Speaker 2: To pass that feedback on.
Speaker 6: I think they did. He came in and I went
Speaker 6: bright red again.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of talk about Bossy's head being
Speaker 1: on the chopping block if you guys didn't get a win.
Speaker 1: Ruthless coaching, Yeah, that's in the media. Do you guys
Speaker 1: address that at the club in the dressing rooms?
Speaker 7: Not really, to be honest, I think there's so much
Speaker 7: said in the footy industry and a lot of the
Speaker 7: time it's just focusing on what's inside the four walls
Speaker 7: and the things you can control. The In a win
Speaker 7: loss industry, the narratives change most weeks, so if you
Speaker 7: kind of buy into the highs and loads of that,
Speaker 7: you get into a bit of trouble.
Speaker 1: So but as a player, do you think he's responsible
Speaker 1: if you guys didn't start winning.
Speaker 7: Everyone plays a role, But a lot of the time
Speaker 7: I think the coaches unfairly get criticism because we're the
Speaker 7: ones out there, you know, kicking, marking and executing, and
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, it's majority of it.
Speaker 2: It's on the players. But everyone has a role to play.
Speaker 2: Man to take you to the promised land. Sure, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 2: boss he's a man. He's great.
Speaker 8: So we love Ussy, we love Fossy, you love we
Speaker 8: love But you're right, I mean you can't read everything.
Speaker 8: If you if football players were everything was in the
Speaker 8: media about their teams, their coaches, their players, you'd go insane,
Speaker 8: which is why we have engaged some of mel hardest, hitting,
Speaker 8: most invested journalists to ask you some very serious footy questions.
Speaker 1: When you, guys finally put TJ in the freezer up
Speaker 1: the line, you should roll these kids.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, these are better questions than I've ever
Speaker 6: asked the foot Here we go.
Speaker 5: How many games have you played for Colton and how
Speaker 5: many have you won?
Speaker 7: Great question to you keep it trip. I think I'm
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty ish games. Don't know how many wins.
Speaker 7: I'd love to know, though, let me do it.
Speaker 6: There'll be someone, there'll be a statisian out there.
Speaker 4: What are you doing? Live?
Speaker 2: Google?
Speaker 8: Google?
Speaker 2: Live Google?
Speaker 6: Can you actually google? How many can?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Games played? One hundred and thirty one games, you've played
Speaker 3: in fifty five wins, one drawer and seventy five losses.
Speaker 4: Are right?
Speaker 6: We didn't need to highlight the losses. That was unnecessary
Speaker 6: early day.
Speaker 3: So you've got a win percentage of forty two point
Speaker 3: three seven.
Speaker 7: So my twin brother Ben, he played at North Melbourne
Speaker 7: for lots of years and at one sage, I think
Speaker 7: he was in the top five lowest winning.
Speaker 3: He's now at the Benny.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's won.
Speaker 3: Aw you didn't twins.
Speaker 4: Bringing them up.
Speaker 3: I've got I've got his win percentage. It's you've got him.
Speaker 3: But he's sitting on twenty.
Speaker 7: Three percent two years ago would have been a little
Speaker 7: bit low.
Speaker 4: The move helped, all right, Next question.
Speaker 5: How many people got hurt in the Geelong Carlton game?
Speaker 2: People got hurt?
Speaker 6: Any injuries?
Speaker 7: I think we had a couple, but I don't actually
Speaker 7: know yet. We go into the club today, so usually
Speaker 7: you get all the goss of what.
Speaker 6: Happened, but she says the day you get all the
Speaker 6: joy the wash up.
Speaker 3: He's playing great footy.
Speaker 2: George Hewitt, Georgie, Yeah, what a man? Is the best? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we love Georgie. Very.
Speaker 7: You won't meet a more humble, underage, down to earth
Speaker 7: person and works so hard on his game. And he's
Speaker 7: a bit of a rooster as well.
Speaker 6: Is he the red head?
Speaker 1: Very?
Speaker 4: He's not a BOSSI yeah, well, Lawrence Camp Then all right,
Speaker 4: next one, Hi.
Speaker 5: Harry, it's awesome to have you back and playing again.
Speaker 5: How did it feel to go run out there and
Speaker 5: hear all the crowd cheering for you.
Speaker 7: Great question. Yeah, it was so fantastic. As we said before,
Speaker 7: the curt and fans are the best, and especially at
Speaker 7: the g so loud and the amount of energy that
Speaker 7: was created and everyone was smiling, so it was really good.
Speaker 8: My Instagram was full of the countdown to the final
Speaker 8: sign and the Blue singing the song.
Speaker 1: How do you go on the smaller field so you
Speaker 1: can hear the crowd what they're saying, can't you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a sledge you can. You can hear the
Speaker 2: odd thing.
Speaker 7: But because on the bit on most AFL grounds, because
Speaker 7: there's so much noise and there's often, you know, thirty
Speaker 7: to one hundred thousand people, that's all a bit of
Speaker 7: a blur. But especially early days when you were younger
Speaker 7: playing VFL, you could hear. You could hear every sledge,
Speaker 7: so that's.
Speaker 2: Kind of funny.
Speaker 8: Well, finally we asked little Jamiller, who's a big fan
Speaker 8: of the Blues. I said, do you have any serious
Speaker 8: footy questions to ask Harry when he comes in, and
Speaker 8: she said I do, so brace yourself for this hard hitting.
Speaker 5: Floor, Harry, do you have any pets?
Speaker 7: Great question, I do have a pet. His name is
Speaker 7: Bunny and he's toodle dog Bunny.
Speaker 1: You look like a yeah, yeah, yeah, isn't a toy
Speaker 1: kvoodle like?
Speaker 2: He's very small.
Speaker 6: Dog Bunny.
Speaker 2: He's nearly two.
Speaker 4: And is it?
Speaker 3: Is it a walking style dog dog or do you
Speaker 3: sort of carry him in a baby beorn?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, he's always walking.
Speaker 4: See you with a dog stroller?
Speaker 6: Can you bring Bunny the next time you come in?
Speaker 2: I can bring Bunny.
Speaker 6: He bring Funny.
Speaker 2: I'd like to be for a hair cut. He's about
Speaker 2: to get groomed, so maybe next week you'll.
