1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Danes Orco's tale of perseverance and excellence reaches the game's 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: great milestone. The veteran Lion joins us ahead of Game 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: three hundreds. 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: Dealing with self inflicted wounds. Our coaches put us in 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 2: the mind of Matthew Nicks in a crisis torn. 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: Week and playing through the pain. Zach Merritt gloved up 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: to face the Blues tomorrow nights. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: We talked about his step into it, embrace all of 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: it in the room, and it's unedifying for a senior 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: coach to do that. They're on the side of Courtia 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: with the brain tape. 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 3: The man on they played. 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: The best footy I've ever seen at the start of 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: the season, and in the resident left the couple older said. 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 3: Of course they do. Is the stuff that legends are 16 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: made of. What is holding the ball? 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 4: I don't think I could answer it clearly right now 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 4: that I can do something wrong, you know, and I 19 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 4: need the game and the boards, actually. 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: The fans, lover and with no fans, no through sixty 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: year old. 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: I just made the mistake of asking Gas whether it's 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: ever been involved in famous final round escapades, and seven 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: minutes later, the five. 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 5: Man Gale talk to the hand. 26 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: We're back in nineteen eighty seven and lose the whole 27 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: show of a telling story. 28 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: Okay, I can't, I can't. We will take us through well, 29 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: miss dane Zuko. But it was a famous last round 30 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty seven, and Jason Dunstall, my great friend 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: and colleague, kicked a goal four Hawthorn to beat July, 32 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: which allowed Melbourne, who were beating the Western Bulldogs, to 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: go into their first final series in twenty four years. 34 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: Do it for Robbie. 35 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: Robbie Flower came out, he ripped the game to shreds 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: in the second half and Melbourne went into the And. 37 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: What did you do? 38 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: I was in hospital with a broken lenk. Jared not 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: that funny, No, I wouldn't think of that. And Melbourne 40 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: sent Jase a, I think it's either a slab or 41 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: a keg in thanks, which I'm surely he took care 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: of that. 43 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Quickst one all right. So that might be what we 44 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: see on Sunday night, as all sorts of fates are 45 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: into twines. What we have for you tonight, our favorite 46 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: John longbye and Adam Simpson. The teams are in for 47 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: Essendon and Carlton. There's a couple of stories there Danes 48 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: orco shortly from Brisbane. What a milestone this is for him? 49 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: Is in rare company, Jared, You'll see it and cheers 50 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: in rare company. 51 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: Fellow author Libby Birches here on the weekend picks to 52 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: bring it home, and then last Crack Preview, Ben Dixon 53 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: will set up David King and Lee Montagna to go 54 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: in depth on round twenty four. Who is it D 55 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: Day four? For Ossie broad Down. 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: There's only one game, the D Day game, and that 57 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: the one will be out and calling, and that is 58 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: the Western Bulldogs and Frew and I'm going for the 59 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Fremantle Dockers. When I say going for them, I'm putting 60 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: them on the D Day slide. So it's all or 61 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: nothing for this club and I think they're a big chance, Jared. 62 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: I think there are a genuine chants against the Bulldogs. 63 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: They've got a forward line that can really stretch the 64 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: Dogs where they're vulnerable. They just can't freeze like they 65 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: did against the Brisbane lines on Friday night on the big, 66 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 2: big stage over there, so they'll come with the steely resolve. 67 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: I like long View today. He's president. He is a 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: bit combative, having a bit defensive, and he's going to 69 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: last time I looked, we'd won one more game. I 70 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: like that attitude. Now the players have got to pick 71 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: it up and run with it and don't deliver this 72 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Just go out test this Western Bulldog's 73 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: defense for wrong and Brayshaw's record against the Western Bulldog's outstanding. 74 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: So this is at the moment and I'm gathering over 75 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: to you. 76 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: Yes, well, why don't we hear from Justin Longmoor first 77 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: to properly set the scene. 78 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, the pressures on them as well, isn't it. Last 79 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 6: time I checked, theye one less game than us. So yeah, 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 6: the narrative around some of this stuff gets me a 81 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 6: little bit because, yeah, last time I checked, we're on 82 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 6: the same amount of wins as coming were sitting forth. 83 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 6: So everyone's talking to like we're going to miss the finals. 84 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 6: I've got full faith in this group to be able 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 6: to go over there and get it done and play 86 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 6: our way and confident that our way is good enough. 87 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: That's a great backdrop. 88 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: I love that. Yet I don't know whether he had 89 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: to be put up to do it or he just 90 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: got on the front and went whack. But That is 91 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: exactly the mindset that the club's got to come to 92 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: Marvel Stadium with on a Sunday. And if it's not 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: coming from the coach, where is it coming from. So 94 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: I loved it all right. 95 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: It's d D for the Bulldogs clearly, as well as 96 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: if they go through a season when Richard's Bontonpelli, Darcy 97 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: and Norton have played like this and missed the Ape, 98 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: we will go what the sam hell were they up 99 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: to coming into the season. It was a year to 100 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: take aim at the top four, so they haven't managed 101 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: to do that. They haven't managed to do it because 102 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: the only team in the top nine they've beaten is 103 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: the Giants. They've lost ones to Fremantle. They are pretty 104 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: unfulfilled when they came back from the West for that. 105 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: They have been scoring for fun at Marvel, so all 106 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: the advantages are with them. It's there are no excuses, 107 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: go out, get it done and then plot a path 108 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: to a preliminary final. That's the sort of footy from 109 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: time to time they're playing. I won't extinguish my candle 110 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: for the Bulldogs until the finals are and then. 111 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: I'll have to reluctantly do it that's sort of Sunday 112 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: ticket that you can't get excited about. So the Giants 113 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: just to shore up their spot and get the best 114 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: possible position into the cutthroat, into top four kind of territory. 115 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: That is a good way to finish the home and 116 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: away season. I think we've got the straight homework on 117 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: the Wednesday, but we'll get. 118 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: To that soon. 119 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: We will get all right. Top of the agenda is 120 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: the torturous process to reach the conclusion. The Isaac Rankin 121 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: investigation continues on days of parry and thrust on a 122 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: legal front still unresolved. On a Wednesday night, it will 123 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: tip into Thursday as the Crows pull out all stops 124 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: to minimize the bat. 125 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 7: We've been too slow to learn and grow and develop, 126 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 7: I suppose as people. 127 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 5: Unfortunately, but through suspensions you need to change in behavior. 128 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: No doubt it will. We cannot say this, cannot say this, 129 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: You can't say the players haven't been mourned about it. 130 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: I've got no sympathy for him. 131 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: There's no place for it. Place for it. Ranking would 132 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: be beside himself, side himself. 133 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 5: He's very remorseful, and he understands that he's made a 134 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 5: mistake and he'll accept whatever comes his way. 135 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: Probably the penalty to me that I had a little 136 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: bit of an issue with. 137 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: What's a fair penalty for things like this as we know, 138 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: to get four or five weeks for a physical indiscretion, jig, 139 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: you want to knock someone in the next week, get 140 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: five weeks, won't you. 141 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: I don't condone it. The behavior. It's a term that 142 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: you'd never be used on the football field, we understand. 143 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: But I think we. 144 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: Painted ourselves in a corner with regard to the penalty 145 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 4: and the length of penalty to start, Is. 146 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: It a distraction for the group? You've been so good 147 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: at being narrow focus this year. 148 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 8: No, this is, but no, not where we're locked in 149 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 8: on what we're doing this weekend. And I just said 150 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 8: before we just put support around Isaac because it is 151 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 8: a tough thing to go through and he goes you 152 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 8: know it's going to be it's going to be tough 153 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 8: from here, but we'll work our way through it. 154 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: Hopefully it's the last time it happens. Who knows if 155 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: it is, But obviously no room in the game for it. 156 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 8: It's going to cost his team, and it's going to 157 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 8: cost his club, and it's going to cost him. 158 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 3: This one's going to really stink. 159 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: This is not sympathy for Isaac. This is simply for 160 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: the Adelaide foota club. The ramifications unbelievably significant, unbelievably significant. 161 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: So those ramifications sit so heavily over the process, which 162 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: you'd have to say is convoluted. The incident happens on 163 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: Saturday night. Phone call is made between colling And and Adelaide 164 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: on Sunday and referred to the AFL's Integrity Unit. Interviews 165 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: are conducted on Monday an AA there's an Adelaide submission 166 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: to the AFL which accompanies those The AFL's determination goes 167 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: back to the Crows, which sets out the five week ban, 168 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: of which the Crows have the right of rebuttal, which 169 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: they are exercising at the moment, and they've been granted 170 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: additional time to do that. So that's due with the 171 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: AFL tonight and then a determination tomorrow. So if I may, 172 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: there's a few points here that is an intolerably convoluted 173 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: process and it risks the AFL looking indecisive. Perhaps behind 174 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: the scenes they haven't been that at all, but that's 175 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: how it looks from the outside. It does make me 176 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: wonder why Andrew Dylan and his legal team you can 177 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: go to Adelaide on Tuesday, sit in the boardroom and 178 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: stay until matters were results, I think on a public front. 179 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: So this is going to run all the way until 180 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: game day of round twenty four. It's a nasty story, 181 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: it's got an unsavory edge, and some of the debate 182 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: around it is it's damaging to the code and runs 183 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: all the way. But my focus really is on Adelaide, 184 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: who seemed desperate to fight every angle of this. It's 185 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: not a picture of accepting responsibility and acting in a 186 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: contrite manner, and they are arguing the toss at every 187 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: turn formally and informally finals games should be worth more 188 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: than home and away even though there's no precedent in 189 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: the system for that. They have going with Rankin was provoked, 190 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: which is a big stretch. I think in what he 191 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: was antagonized but provoked is a big stretch. Informally they've 192 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: even raised Snoop Dogg. I would put to you that's 193 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: the domain of talkback radio, not a responsible footy club. 194 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: I think there were three possibilities here. Is front up 195 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: to what happens, pledged to address whatever it is in 196 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: the environment that allowed this to happen and accept what's coming. 197 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: It's a fine line, well is it a fine line? 198 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: They also it's incumbent from a supporter's point of view, 199 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: to do the best job they possibly can to see 200 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 2: if they can get Isaac back playing now. As unsavory 201 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: as that may sound, and as you've pointed out, it's 202 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: smacks of them not wanting to take responsibility. I think 203 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: they are entitled to argue their case as vociferously and 204 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: as strongly as they possibly can given the stakes that 205 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: are at play, so long as they are accepting in 206 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: the final verdict that it doesn't go too far. But 207 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: I understand what you say. It's drawn out, and I 208 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: like your first alternative, get over and fix it. I'm 209 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: always one of those to get on the front foot 210 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: and get in front of each other and nut it 211 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: out til it's done. The Crow supporters want to have, 212 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: you know, they want their man to play, and then 213 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: the administration now saying well, well, do do whatever we can, 214 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: but there will come a time where they need to 215 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: put their hand in the end and go enoughs. 216 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: Enough so the AFL is going to be need to 217 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: be resolute when they announce their punishment. There's a constituent 218 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: see that's waiting to hear and even the raising of 219 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: Snoopbog by the club, they're going to have to front 220 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: up to those questions. And Adelaide, who have their history 221 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: on this front is they fought tooth and nail every 222 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: step of the way on their preseason camp. I hope 223 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: they have learned a lesson or two along the way 224 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: in the way that they address this public with you 225 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: when the. 226 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: Time Well, that's that is a very interesting point. And 227 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: there's a football club that's sitting on top of the 228 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: ladder and a Premiership favorites. There is a way to 229 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: deal with it. And as I said, I don't begrudge 230 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: them right to fight and fight hard, even if that 231 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: means getting in the trenches a bit. But there comes 232 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: a time when you do you need to show some 233 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: humility and be accepting of the penalty and that'll come. 234 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: Craig McCrae, the Collingwood coach, spoke today. This was his insights. 235 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a bit making sure applies to say, but 236 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 4: also I don't want to demonize Isaac Keitha. Everyone's going 237 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 4: to make mistakes. Young lad seems like a really respectful 238 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 4: young man and he's manon Erra. So yeah, the IFL 239 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: take their own course on that, but you've don to 240 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: make mistakes too, so we respect. 241 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: You've been talking about provocation in terms of submission. 242 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: And that is there no provlication for something like that. 243 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: You look, I don't want to have he said, She 244 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 4: said stuff. I think the reality is and that we're 245 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 4: all really comfortable to what we want a workplace to 246 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 4: look like, and these things step over the boundary line. 247 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: If it turns out that Colin would go back to 248 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: Adelaide for a qualifying final, that is an explosive backdrop 249 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: for that game to take place in front of So 250 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: we wait to see on that front. Craig McCrae was 251 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: also He offered great clarity around the Bobby Hills scenario, 252 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: which has sort of lurked in the background with a 253 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: degree of uncertainty in all manner of rumor and innuendo 254 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: about it's both publicly and I think within the club. 255 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: Having had dinner with Bobby last night, he looked to 256 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: set matters straight on the record. 257 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: Had dinner with Bobby last night, As I continue to say, 258 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 4: it's a week by week, day by day thing with Bobby. 259 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: It was it's nice to catch up with him on 260 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 4: a social level, just to check in care for him. 261 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: There's two things that I always lived by, this high performance, 262 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 4: and there's love and care. And I've just sort of 263 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: left the high performance for a just making sure the 264 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: young lad's okay. Time's running out in the season and 265 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: maybe the high performance might be a bit far at 266 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: the moment, but we'll just take it off the table 267 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 4: for now and hopefully and keep back in the club 268 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: and then be happy and then we'll see where we 269 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: go from there. 270 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: So off the table for a moment. McCray also said 271 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: that when he was asked does that mean he won't play, 272 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: he said he'd ask Bobby how Bobby wanted him to 273 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: answer that. He said, just give me this. It just 274 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: give me a glimmer of hope that I could work 275 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: my way back. 276 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would suggest this season is done, given the 277 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: amount of work that he's missed, and given the game 278 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: that we're about to play, and that is the most competitive, 279 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: high pressure game of all and that's Finals footy, and 280 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: that's sad. So from a Bobby point of view, I 281 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: think again, the issues are the issues, and then there's 282 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: the footy issues, and I'm glad that Craig has addressed it. 283 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: In the end, the playing group need to know the 284 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: playing group, and I'm sure that communicated this to their 285 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: players as well maybe the supporters. Hey, this is where 286 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 2: it sits, unambiguous. We're not worrying about footy right now. 287 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: That's not on the table. So if you're not worrying 288 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: about foot in a round twenty four then and having 289 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: missed the work that he's done and that's a long 290 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: shot that he's playing, I think that's good to get 291 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: that out there because then we can go, okay, we'll 292 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: let him deal with what he's going to do. We 293 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 2: don't need to pressure them about when he's going to 294 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: come back to footy. That's a long long shot. The 295 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: playing group need to know because they don't need to 296 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: answer it every time they go to the milk bar 297 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: and every time they buy the paper whatever. So it's 298 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: out there, it's done, and then I hope Bobby can 299 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: get sort of what he needs to get sorted. But 300 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: the footy now is the focus for them. 301 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: They have clearly missed him, so yea that there's no more, 302 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: Well wait till we get Bobby back, they're going to 303 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: have to find a way without him with another reason 304 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: why you got to move on, Jared, And that appears 305 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: to what's been what's happened today, and I think that's 306 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: a good thing for Collingwood. They're going to get moving 307 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: and move on and there's a final series to be won. 308 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: Teams are in for tomorrow night. There's a story or 309 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: two here as well at Essendon and Carlton, so they're 310 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: both in a paralss state with what they've got. Zach 311 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: Merritt does return, as he told us last night, he's 312 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: got the medical all clear. He's got the glove on 313 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: to protect us as much as he can the plate 314 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: that's been inserted, So merrit is in. Shield comes back, 315 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: so Keltoum. He was reporting today that by a mutual agreement, 316 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: this is the last time Shield will play for Essendon. 317 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: He will see if there's a buyer for him in 318 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: the trademarket el Hully and Hobbs are the two who 319 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: are omitted, so the two injured players from last week 320 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: of Laverde and McMahon are named to get up and 321 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: on the Carlton side of things, that Lucas Camparelli, who 322 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: we saw in the early couple of rounds in White Return. 323 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Fogerty and Lord are injured, so they get a little 324 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: younger again. The story here is Mitch McGovern's not been selected. 325 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: He's an emergency, so stuck on seventeen games. He misses 326 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the trigger which would have given him the contract extension 327 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: for next year. So there's sort of one of two 328 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: things that play. But his previous contract is now at 329 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: an end. 330 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: Yes, so it puts the cart and Footy Club back 331 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 2: in the driver's seat by not playing. And if he 332 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: is to play on at the Cart and Footy Club, 333 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: then that is to be negotiated. Should he have played 334 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: this game, then he would have assuming exercised the trigger, 335 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: played on at his want and at the contract that 336 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: he had negotiated. So it doesn't necessarily mean that he 337 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: won't be a card. Not an overly positive sign, but 338 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily might be done. He could renegotiate it, maybe 339 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: on half the money, if they're both happy and push forward. 340 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: Charlie Kurno's fate. So the back page of the Herald 341 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: Son had the story out of Sydney Today saying that 342 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: he's the Swan's number one target, which wouldn't be a surprise. 343 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: Two elements to this. The first one, would he be 344 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: a good fit for Sydney. 345 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he fits the profile, he fixed, the 346 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: history of the Sydney Swans and what they've been able 347 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: to do in terms of attracting big name key forwards 348 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: with a profile and a presence and someone that fits 349 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: into the market. So yeah, he'd be perfect. He'd be 350 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: absolutely perfect for the Sydney Swans. 351 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: The second part is should Carlton consider a trade, particularly 352 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: if there's a three team market for him. 353 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they should say no under no circumstances. And when 354 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: we're considering it, would we consider a trade and then 355 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: sit back and see what comes their way? That's the 356 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: way this thing works here, been in it long enough now. 357 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: History's littered with players and clubs have declared that no, 358 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: under no circumstances, and we take the bait and then 359 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: two days later they go, I'll change your mind. The 360 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: deals may've done, so that's open. I think everything's on 361 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: the table, and yeah, if something crazy comes Carton's way, 362 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: then I wouldn't be surprised. 363 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: I think the next step is at the exit interview, 364 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: is Charlie Kerner going to say to carlten that he 365 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: would like to be elsewhere or will he bury that 366 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: deep down and just see what happens. 367 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: Well, he shouldn't. He got to get up in front, 368 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: up and he said it publicly. I want to stay 369 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: in the story. But what he says to Carton might 370 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: be different. But you only get one shot at this 371 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: these bugs, and it doesn't necessarily mean if he says 372 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: I want to go, that he goes. But be upfront 373 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: and be honest. It's a time of change. A Carton Footy. 374 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Clubs put him on the table our special guest waiting 375 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: for us in Brisbane. 376 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: Rare rare company. 377 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, three hundred games is the great milestone of the 378 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: game and the great Zorco was. He was instantly dubbed 379 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: when he came to the game, So it was round 380 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: seven twenty twelve that he was named for his to 381 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: do with the Brisbane lines and our then program League 382 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: teams had a bit of fun with him. 383 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 5: Plenty of ins and outs, drumming Hawksley Rains, Mkiva and 384 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 5: Zorko come in at cop Cornelius, Lester and Chris Well 385 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 5: hopefully performs some magic on the weekend for the Lions. 386 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 6: I hope has got some tricks. 387 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 2: If he comes out of the big black hat. 388 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: Is going to win. I'm going to get the interview. 389 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: At the mat from the game guarantee to take a 390 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: head out and take a cane, rap. 391 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: It out putting a box. 392 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 6: You both aread his career bus. 393 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 3: Like, look at it. What a name to play with. 394 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: What a player he turned out to be.

Congratulations and welcome. 398 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Jared, Thanks Gary, really appreciate it that. 399 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: I just thought you were going to be a one 400 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: trick pony. 401 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 3: Those boys. I'll tell you what, there's some feedback for 402 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: you before you play a game. 403 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 7: I've had my data throughout my career, even before I 404 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 7: made it into the AFL, So yeah, I think that 405 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 7: was probably one thing that just continued for me to 406 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 7: keep going and keep persisting and keep trying. 407 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 3: So proved it wrong once and I'll keep proving them 408 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: wrong again. 409 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: It is the game's great milestone. Have you been a 410 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: little bit reflective over what you overcame to be able 411 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: to achieve it. 412 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a little bit, Jared. 413 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 7: I've tried not to delve into it too much, but 414 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 7: I am really really proud of what I've been able 415 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 7: to achieve. 416 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. 417 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 7: And you wouldn't have given a bloke much hope getting 418 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 7: drafted the age of twenty one, to reach in three 419 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 7: hundred games, to play fourteen odd years and the and 420 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 7: been able to play, you know, consistently, week in week 421 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 7: out in this sport. 422 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 3: It's really really hard to do. 423 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 7: And to reach this milestone is I think it sits 424 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 7: right up there with the Premiership. I really do. It's 425 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 7: not a lot of players do that. I think I 426 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 7: got told it will be the one hundred and ninth 427 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 7: player to do so. With how many people have actually 428 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 7: played in the AFL, do only a one hundred and 429 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 7: nine to reach this milestone. 430 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 3: It's something I'm really really cradled. 431 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: And you have a special place in that one hundred 432 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: and nine. You are the oldest to reach the three 433 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: hundred game milestone. You inherit that from Alistair Lynch, who 434 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: inherited it from Roger Merritt, who inherited it from Kevin Murray. 435 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: This is a Lions thing, Dane. 436 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, it certainly is, and we're going to catch up 437 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 7: with you a little bit later tonight, so I'll be 438 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 7: sure to rub it into him somewhat. But yeah, I mean, 439 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 7: it's yeah, just phenomenon. It's great to hear all those 440 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 7: names as well. 441 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 3: I mean, they're. 442 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 7: Absolute club legends. The history that those guys have provided 443 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 7: for our football club has been absolutely enormous and for 444 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 7: my neighbors sit up there alongside them, I'm really proud 445 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 7: of that. 446 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: You deserve it zor congratulations, just an outstanding performance and 447 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 2: there you can go one or two ways. Well, I'd 448 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 2: imagine when you get to three hundred you can limp 449 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: to the line and there are some who have celebrated 450 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 2: and poke fun at themselves by just getting there and 451 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: being nursed along. Or you can charge through it like 452 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: you are. You're coming off an Australian year last year 453 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: and a half back flank and you you know there's 454 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: every chance there's a great chance you're going to do 455 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: it again. What is the secret to this longevity? And 456 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 2: I don't think that's any coincidence that their Brisbane players 457 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: like Kevin Murray would have enjoyed the sun out there, 458 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 2: but the others certainly did have you got in there 459 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: if bit of an insight. 460 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 3: Oh, the woman weather certainly helps, has no doubt about that. 461 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: I think both Grant Virgil and Luke Coach can attest 462 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 3: to that. 463 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 7: And even the boys that we've drafted in the last 464 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 7: six or seven years, like Linc McCarthy, like Locke, Neil, 465 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 7: Joe Danaher, these guys had injuries at other clubs that 466 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 7: probably really struggling to get on the park down Southern States. 467 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: Be coming up to the warmer weather. It certainly helped 468 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 3: with their bodies. 469 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 7: But I think for me there was certainly a crossroad 470 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 7: at the end of the twenty twenty two season where 471 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 7: I was really struggling with injury. I had Achilles ten 472 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 7: nighters for the past two and a half years, and 473 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 7: I felt like I was really letting myself down, and 474 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 7: more importantly, I was letting the team down, and I 475 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 7: didn't feel like I was at my absolute best.

You are combative, 529 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 2: I think is a nice way to say it. I 530 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 2: reckon you would have got into trouble a lot as 531 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: a kid at school. I reckon you could have argued 532 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: most points given the way that you interact with the 533 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 2: umpires over the journey. It's no criticism though there was 534 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: something along the way you did tread the really fine line. 535 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 2: But you've come out the other side just this much. 536 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: Love footy figure and as well, but you have played 537 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: with a bit of a chip on your shoulder. 538 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting you say that. 539 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 7: Gas Jonathan brown in our first in my first year 540 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 7: at the football club, at the end of the season, 541 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 7: we all sat down in a circle and we spoke 542 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 7: about each individual just as a playing group. And Brownie, 543 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 7: obviously sitting next to me in the locker room, being 544 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 7: number sixteen, he had some wise words. 545 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 3: For me, and he could see. 546 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 7: Early on that I certainly had a chip on my 547 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 7: shoulder from obviously not getting drafted for a number of years, 548 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 7: and he urged me to continue to leave that chip 549 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 7: on the shoulder at all costs, you know, don't let 550 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 7: it come off, keep fighting, keep working really hard. And 551 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 7: I remember came Farrell saying to me one night from 552 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 7: Port Adelaide, saying, you're just a competitor, mate, You're an 553 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 7: absolute competitor. 554 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: And yeah, there's no doubt. I've had some. 555 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 7: Things in my football career that have turned a little 556 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 7: bit ugly and have gotten me into hot water of 557 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 7: but I've just I just want to win. I wanted 558 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 7: to win the whole entire time i've been at the 559 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 7: Brisbane lines. And that's just me. I'm one of four kids. 560 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 7: I was a third child, had an older brother that 561 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 7: always used to wrestle me, fight me. 562 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 3: I always lost, and you know, enough was enough. 563 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 7: So when I got to the AFL and I was 564 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 7: pretty similar to that in my junior football as well. 565 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 7: It was quite feisty and always had an argument and 566 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 7: that point to prove. But I think it helped me 567 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 7: a really good stand. Although I really float on that 568 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 7: line occasionally. I'd like to think for the majority of 569 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 7: three hundred games, I've been Okay, we've. 570 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: Got your merch here, we'll have it on while we're 571 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: watching the footy on Sunday night. I think you found 572 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: it out to get hold of We've got it. You 573 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: can't play fourteen seasons without having a deep love of 574 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: the game. What's your favorite part of footing? 575 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 7: Oh this might' so how weird and a little bit strange, 576 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 7: but I absolutely just loved training. And I think during 577 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 7: that period between twenty twenty and twenty twenty two where 578 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 7: I couldn't really train, that really frustrated me and it 579 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 7: really hurt a lot. So the last three years of 580 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 7: pre season, you know, I've just enjoyed being back out there. 581 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 7: I love training week in week out with the boys, 582 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 7: you know, trying to get better, working on our craft, 583 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 7: making sure that we can be the best possible team 584 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 7: you know that we can be, and with that we've 585 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 7: been able to get some great success off the back 586 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 7: of that. 587 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: But I absolutely love the game. I love the teammates 588 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 3: that come with it. 589 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 7: It's it's really sad, you know, we'll head into this 590 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 7: part of the year where you know there's the ultimate 591 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 7: glory of a premiership right there for you, but at 592 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 7: the same time, you know, come October, you know you're 593 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 7: going to lose teammates as well that have to either 594 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 7: be moved on or whatnot or retire. So it's a 595 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 7: really difficult period coming up, but even better if we can, 596 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 7: you know, salute at the end of the year. And 597 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 7: I think that's why we all play. We want to 598 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 7: hold that Premiership Cup up. I've been fortunate enough to 599 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 7: do it once and I want to keep going. 600 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: Sunday is a great stage.
