All twenty four matches since then have 91 00:05:19,107 --> 00:05:22,107 Speaker 2: been won by the All Blacks. A man who can 92 00:05:22,107 --> 00:05:25,187 Speaker 2: give us a truly unique perspective is former All Blacks 93 00:05:25,187 --> 00:05:30,067 Speaker 2: assistant coach and former Scotland assistant coach Brad Moore, who 94 00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:32,027 Speaker 2: joins us. Now, Brad, let's get straight into it. What 95 00:05:32,227 --> 00:05:36,307 Speaker 2: is Scotland's best strategy for beating the All Blacks for 96 00:05:36,347 --> 00:05:37,347 Speaker 2: the very first time? 97 00:05:37,867 --> 00:05:38,147 Speaker 5: Oh? 98 00:05:38,187 --> 00:05:41,547 Speaker 6: Wow, Gay Finy, thanks for thanks for having me on. 99 00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:45,067 Speaker 6: Privileged to be chatting with you. God, what a cracking 100 00:05:45,107 --> 00:05:46,867 Speaker 6: game it is lining up to be. 101 00:05:47,027 --> 00:05:50,347 Speaker 7: My ISAA shining for it. It's two really good sides picked. 102 00:05:51,067 --> 00:05:56,867 Speaker 6: I think Scotland's mentality at home Murrayfield Special Place, one 103 00:05:56,907 --> 00:06:01,107 Speaker 6: hundred years of footy there will be highly motivating for 104 00:06:01,147 --> 00:06:04,027 Speaker 6: them and I think they've picked a really strong side 105 00:06:04,027 --> 00:06:07,387 Speaker 6: seven British and Irish Lions in the group. 106 00:06:07,427 --> 00:06:10,827 Speaker 7: I think in the starting fifteen, I think. 107 00:06:10,627 --> 00:06:15,347 Speaker 6: They'll they'll be looking for that, you know that the 108 00:06:15,427 --> 00:06:19,387 Speaker 6: Alfred Allen staff position, possession and pace of that that 109 00:06:19,987 --> 00:06:20,947 Speaker 6: parody upfront. 110 00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:24,027 Speaker 7: Get that. If they can get parody up. 111 00:06:23,907 --> 00:06:27,627 Speaker 6: Front, even dominated a little bit, then then that will 112 00:06:27,627 --> 00:06:30,907 Speaker 6: give them front football to see some very exciting backs 113 00:06:30,987 --> 00:06:32,867 Speaker 6: do their stuff and play the game that they that 114 00:06:32,947 --> 00:06:34,907 Speaker 6: they love playing, which is a lot of position, a 115 00:06:34,947 --> 00:06:39,307 Speaker 6: lot of ball and ball in hand and Finn Russell 116 00:06:39,507 --> 00:06:42,867 Speaker 6: orchestrating things from ten putting them in the right places. 117 00:06:44,027 --> 00:06:46,067 Speaker 2: It's such a good summary of everything. So there's a 118 00:06:46,067 --> 00:06:48,907 Speaker 2: bit to unpack there. Let's start with the parity that 119 00:06:48,947 --> 00:06:52,907 Speaker 2: you mentioned there. Can they get forward parity against the 120 00:06:52,947 --> 00:06:53,827 Speaker 2: All Blacks? 121 00:06:54,947 --> 00:06:55,187 Speaker 7: Yeah? 122 00:06:55,187 --> 00:06:58,187 Speaker 6: Look, I think I think so in terms of in 123 00:06:58,307 --> 00:06:59,947 Speaker 6: different areas of a few, I think that the All 124 00:06:59,947 --> 00:07:02,107 Speaker 6: Blacks will be having a bit of a crack at 125 00:07:02,147 --> 00:07:06,107 Speaker 6: the scrum. I think with Xander Faguson injured at the 126 00:07:06,107 --> 00:07:11,467 Speaker 6: moment tight head for Scotland, I'm sure they'll be targeting 127 00:07:11,507 --> 00:07:17,827 Speaker 6: that that space. The Scotland line out is some some 128 00:07:18,107 --> 00:07:22,587 Speaker 6: excellent line out forwards in there, Scottie Cumbens, Grant Gil 129 00:07:22,627 --> 00:07:29,547 Speaker 6: Chris Grant's very experienced now and Scotty's an outstanding second rower, 130 00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:32,747 Speaker 6: so I think they'll they'll be working pretty hard there 131 00:07:32,747 --> 00:07:36,667 Speaker 6: to get good ball and play quick off that. So 132 00:07:36,707 --> 00:07:39,347 Speaker 6: so they see one side having a crack at the 133 00:07:39,387 --> 00:07:41,507 Speaker 6: line out, another side having a crack at the scrum, 134 00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:44,827 Speaker 6: it's it sort of adds up to some pretty cool 135 00:07:44,867 --> 00:07:47,507 Speaker 6: moments and and then then it's about to take your 136 00:07:47,507 --> 00:07:50,867 Speaker 6: moments and the and the breakdown war, which I'm sure 137 00:07:50,907 --> 00:07:54,867 Speaker 6: will be firstly contested with some pretty hungry loose forwards 138 00:07:54,867 --> 00:07:58,147 Speaker 6: on both sides, and then the outside backs also enjoy 139 00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,707 Speaker 6: having a crack at the ruck. Kyle Stain and Darcy 140 00:08:01,747 --> 00:08:06,907 Speaker 6: Graham the Scotland and Lee Roy and kayliber are not 141 00:08:06,947 --> 00:08:10,627 Speaker 6: afraid to get amongst either, so it's I think it's 142 00:08:10,667 --> 00:08:15,627 Speaker 6: tasty in all those physical areas. But if the if 143 00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:19,627 Speaker 6: there's parity and and that that provides the good front football, 144 00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,267 Speaker 6: then both sides can be very dangerous. 145 00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:23,347 Speaker 7: I just think it's lying up to be a cracker. 146 00:08:23,147 --> 00:08:26,867 Speaker 2: Game, absolutely right. Let's talk about Thin Russell. Scotland first five, 147 00:08:27,267 --> 00:08:31,067 Speaker 2: their pivot, their director. Basically, what makes him such a 148 00:08:31,067 --> 00:08:31,667 Speaker 2: good player. 149 00:08:33,587 --> 00:08:36,867 Speaker 7: I absolute student of the game, so. 150 00:08:39,187 --> 00:08:42,907 Speaker 6: I think, And when I went over to join Scotland, 151 00:08:42,907 --> 00:08:48,267 Speaker 6: I thought I'd see a mercurial talent, things that where 152 00:08:48,307 --> 00:08:49,747 Speaker 6: things just happened for him. 153 00:08:50,187 --> 00:08:54,307 Speaker 7: Well, what I saw is the high talent, awesome skill 154 00:08:54,347 --> 00:08:56,827 Speaker 7: set of his passing. 155 00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:59,987 Speaker 6: Game, kicking game, and running game where he just buys 156 00:09:00,107 --> 00:09:03,587 Speaker 6: time on the ball. We're not really sure as a 157 00:09:03,627 --> 00:09:07,187 Speaker 6: defense exactly what he's going to pull, how he's going 158 00:09:07,227 --> 00:09:09,067 Speaker 6: to pull the trigger, where he's going to pass it, 159 00:09:09,147 --> 00:09:11,267 Speaker 6: run it or kick it. He can do all three 160 00:09:11,307 --> 00:09:13,427 Speaker 6: of those things in a pretty quick moment. 161 00:09:14,467 --> 00:09:14,627 Speaker 8: Way. 162 00:09:14,627 --> 00:09:17,587 Speaker 7: He holds the ball, he buys time off him, so. 163 00:09:17,627 --> 00:09:20,547 Speaker 6: That there's I thought that around the mercurial talent, and 164 00:09:20,547 --> 00:09:23,787 Speaker 6: what I saw is that and a massive student of 165 00:09:23,787 --> 00:09:26,387 Speaker 6: the game where he does a lot of homework on 166 00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:31,227 Speaker 6: his game, his team's game, and the opposition and game 167 00:09:31,267 --> 00:09:35,987 Speaker 6: in general. So he sees the pictures really quickly because 168 00:09:35,987 --> 00:09:39,027 Speaker 6: he's worked earlier during the week to see them already 169 00:09:39,027 --> 00:09:42,787 Speaker 6: and knows what he's looking for, to the point where 170 00:09:42,867 --> 00:09:43,827 Speaker 6: really actually were. 171 00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:46,667 Speaker 7: In the in the week. 172 00:09:46,747 --> 00:09:49,307 Speaker 6: By the back end of the week Friday leading into 173 00:09:49,347 --> 00:09:52,747 Speaker 6: a Saturday game, you actually having a conversation. 174 00:09:52,867 --> 00:09:53,067 Speaker 7: Mate. 175 00:09:53,147 --> 00:09:56,187 Speaker 6: You've done plenty, You've done enough, You've got the homework done. 176 00:09:56,787 --> 00:09:57,547 Speaker 7: Let's go play. 177 00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:03,467 Speaker 6: So is recalling the game huge, can recall the moments 178 00:10:03,547 --> 00:10:06,667 Speaker 6: quickly and have a conversation with you point to point 179 00:10:06,947 --> 00:10:09,587 Speaker 6: without him having actually sat through it again to have 180 00:10:09,627 --> 00:10:11,747 Speaker 6: to watch it again. So that's beautiful because you can 181 00:10:11,787 --> 00:10:16,387 Speaker 6: have in the moment conversations without sitting around the computer 182 00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:18,947 Speaker 6: staring at the screen. It's just a footy chat that 183 00:10:19,507 --> 00:10:25,747 Speaker 6: leads to some beautiful point. So really enjoyed working with him, 184 00:10:25,787 --> 00:10:28,347 Speaker 6: and just saw a guy who works very, very hard 185 00:10:28,387 --> 00:10:33,107 Speaker 6: and cares massively for his country and his club and 186 00:10:33,227 --> 00:10:35,507 Speaker 6: the people around him. 187 00:10:35,547 --> 00:10:38,507 Speaker 2: What kind of coaches Griger Townsend. 188 00:10:39,907 --> 00:10:46,987 Speaker 6: Very curious, hard working, very passionate about the game and 189 00:10:47,587 --> 00:10:52,707 Speaker 6: how it can be played. So I see him very 190 00:10:52,707 --> 00:10:55,787 Speaker 6: optimistic about the game. There's always an opportunity for him 191 00:10:55,827 --> 00:11:00,467 Speaker 6: and I think he's been really clear with Scotland as 192 00:11:00,507 --> 00:11:05,067 Speaker 6: to what talent and skill set they've got in their group, 193 00:11:05,107 --> 00:11:09,347 Speaker 6: and then building that whilst also and then and then 194 00:11:09,547 --> 00:11:15,867 Speaker 6: adapting a game to suit the player's abilities that they've 195 00:11:15,867 --> 00:11:21,187 Speaker 6: got so really clear on the identity of the game, 196 00:11:21,307 --> 00:11:24,307 Speaker 6: curious about how to take that forward, and then builds 197 00:11:24,347 --> 00:11:27,667 Speaker 6: a week that fits into all of that, and is 198 00:11:27,867 --> 00:11:32,427 Speaker 6: clear about their connection. What's important is people and then 199 00:11:32,627 --> 00:11:37,547 Speaker 6: how driving the hard work in between, Like he's puts 200 00:11:37,547 --> 00:11:40,267 Speaker 6: his shoulder to the well massively and provides a great 201 00:11:40,307 --> 00:11:42,867 Speaker 6: example of leadership in that space. 202 00:11:44,027 --> 00:11:46,387 Speaker 2: Is the fact that Scotland have never beaten the All 203 00:11:46,387 --> 00:11:49,027 Speaker 2: Blacks a motivation or a burden? 204 00:11:50,667 --> 00:11:54,227 Speaker 6: Well, I guess it can be both, can't It depends 205 00:11:54,227 --> 00:11:58,467 Speaker 6: on your mindset and approach to that. I think that 206 00:11:59,547 --> 00:12:04,787 Speaker 6: with this group that will provide a motivation and no 207 00:12:04,827 --> 00:12:07,547 Speaker 6: doubt the All Blacks will be highly motivated by that 208 00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:08,027 Speaker 6: as well. 209 00:12:08,067 --> 00:12:11,867 Speaker 7: It's the motivation for our team too, isn't it. 210 00:12:11,947 --> 00:12:17,787 Speaker 6: So it's the mindset it's motivated to keep it motivated 211 00:12:17,787 --> 00:12:19,547 Speaker 6: to breakhead. I'm sure the All Blacks will look to 212 00:12:20,067 --> 00:12:23,587 Speaker 6: start fast and put the put Scotland into a position 213 00:12:23,707 --> 00:12:28,347 Speaker 6: of ah shivers, we've been here before and potentially try 214 00:12:28,387 --> 00:12:30,707 Speaker 6: to create some doubt in the minds of Scotland. Are 215 00:12:30,707 --> 00:12:34,627 Speaker 6: we looking to keep the heat on and put themselves 216 00:12:34,667 --> 00:12:37,987 Speaker 6: in a position where they can finish strong and and 217 00:12:38,067 --> 00:12:41,867 Speaker 6: take the moments You know that test Rugby. The margins 218 00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:44,987 Speaker 6: are tiny, but the consequences of those margins are big. 219 00:12:45,387 --> 00:12:48,907 Speaker 6: So you just got to try to make add more 220 00:12:49,147 --> 00:12:51,547 Speaker 6: more moments up and win more of those little moments 221 00:12:51,587 --> 00:12:53,227 Speaker 6: to take your opportunities. 222 00:12:54,387 --> 00:12:56,307 Speaker 2: Bret, what do you think it'll take for Scotland to 223 00:12:56,387 --> 00:12:58,467 Speaker 2: move from if we if we expand this out of 224 00:12:58,507 --> 00:13:01,227 Speaker 2: it from from regular Six Nations wins which they get 225 00:13:01,267 --> 00:13:03,747 Speaker 2: most years. You know, they beat England, you know they'll 226 00:13:03,787 --> 00:13:05,347 Speaker 2: they'll beat Island here and there, that sort of thing. 227 00:13:05,347 --> 00:13:07,867 Speaker 2: But I haven't won the Sixations since it became the 228 00:13:07,867 --> 00:13:10,707 Speaker 2: Six Nations and what two thousand, what's it going to 229 00:13:10,787 --> 00:13:13,947 Speaker 2: take for them to find the consistency to start challenging 230 00:13:14,307 --> 00:13:16,187 Speaker 2: for Six Nations titles? 231 00:13:18,947 --> 00:13:22,627 Speaker 7: Yeah, great question. I think the consistency is the thing 232 00:13:22,707 --> 00:13:23,147 Speaker 7: I think. 233 00:13:23,027 --> 00:13:28,347 Speaker 6: That's built by by building depth, and I think that 234 00:13:28,347 --> 00:13:33,107 Speaker 6: that's been happening. There's got some awesome top class players 235 00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:35,707 Speaker 6: and then quietly building the depth in between that you know, 236 00:13:35,747 --> 00:13:37,747 Speaker 6: when there's seven or eight players off it and I 237 00:13:37,747 --> 00:13:40,187 Speaker 6: think might have been nine even Scott's at the British 238 00:13:40,187 --> 00:13:42,627 Speaker 6: and Irish Lions. The side that came out here played 239 00:13:42,627 --> 00:13:45,187 Speaker 6: the news in a Maori Fiji sama. 240 00:13:45,347 --> 00:13:47,307 Speaker 7: That's a great opportunity to build. 241 00:13:47,307 --> 00:13:52,627 Speaker 6: Another layer of test match experience underneath and bring the middle, 242 00:13:52,947 --> 00:13:56,747 Speaker 6: your sort of middle tier up to leadership roles, so 243 00:13:57,387 --> 00:14:00,587 Speaker 6: that that building of depth, so that you can go 244 00:14:00,787 --> 00:14:06,627 Speaker 6: in a six Nations competition, which is five Tier one 245 00:14:06,747 --> 00:14:11,227 Speaker 6: tests in a row potentially one week, one week of 246 00:14:11,427 --> 00:14:13,987 Speaker 6: a fellow week of no footy and amongst that. Now 247 00:14:14,987 --> 00:14:17,587 Speaker 6: it was two when I was there in twenty three. 248 00:14:18,067 --> 00:14:19,707 Speaker 6: But to be able to put. 249 00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:21,907 Speaker 7: Tests to test to test to test to test. 250 00:14:22,147 --> 00:14:26,147 Speaker 6: Together, you need to be able to have that depth 251 00:14:26,787 --> 00:14:28,947 Speaker 6: to keep putting the pressure on each other during the 252 00:14:28,947 --> 00:14:31,387 Speaker 6: week and to support each other, to be able to 253 00:14:31,747 --> 00:14:35,067 Speaker 6: slot in and share the load as those opportunities arrive. 254 00:14:35,267 --> 00:14:38,707 Speaker 6: So I think that that would be one thing, and 255 00:14:38,707 --> 00:14:42,427 Speaker 6: and just continually can continuing to lock to take your moments. 256 00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:44,427 Speaker 6: Don't don't try and look at the Six Nations as 257 00:14:44,507 --> 00:14:48,427 Speaker 6: one big campaign game to game is the way to 258 00:14:48,507 --> 00:14:49,227 Speaker 6: break that down. 259 00:14:49,907 --> 00:14:51,787 Speaker 2: You're looking forward to getting back with the Crusaders when 260 00:14:51,867 --> 00:14:54,147 Speaker 2: you get back early early December.

You've heard from Brad Moore. You've 291 00:16:18,667 --> 00:16:21,027 Speaker 2: thought about this game all week, I presume anyway, I 292 00:16:21,027 --> 00:16:23,187 Speaker 2: would love your reaction to what you heard there from Brad, who, 293 00:16:23,267 --> 00:16:30,067 Speaker 2: by the way, is a pretty analytical rugby thinker, isn't he? 294 00:16:30,107 --> 00:16:34,467 Speaker 2: From what you heard there, and you think to yourself, 295 00:16:35,427 --> 00:16:38,907 Speaker 2: he's been successful everywhere he's been, with the exception of 296 00:16:39,107 --> 00:16:43,347 Speaker 2: the All Blacks, and listening to him there, I can't 297 00:16:43,427 --> 00:16:47,107 Speaker 2: help but thinking he's still got plenty to offer, plenty 298 00:16:47,107 --> 00:16:49,027 Speaker 2: to offer at the moment the Crusaders are getting the 299 00:16:49,027 --> 00:16:53,187 Speaker 2: benefit of that. But Brad Moore worked with Scott Robertson 300 00:16:54,187 --> 00:16:58,667 Speaker 2: at the Crusaders. Jason Holland is leaving the All Blacks 301 00:16:58,707 --> 00:17:02,467 Speaker 2: coaching set up at the end of this year. Is 302 00:17:02,507 --> 00:17:07,067 Speaker 2: there an opening for Brad Moore? Maybe that's conversation for 303 00:17:07,107 --> 00:17:11,027 Speaker 2: another day.

I tend 306 00:17:17,267 --> 00:17:19,347 Speaker 2: to be fairly optimistic when it comes to the all blacks. 307 00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:22,027 Speaker 2: I think we'll win the game tomorrow morning. I like 308 00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:26,347 Speaker 2: the side we've named, even without Jordy and Scott Barrett 309 00:17:26,827 --> 00:17:28,867 Speaker 2: both out injured. Jeordi for the rest of the year, 310 00:17:28,907 --> 00:17:31,667 Speaker 2: Scott for this game at least. I think we've plugged 311 00:17:31,667 --> 00:17:34,907 Speaker 2: those gaps okay, and we're starting the way we played 312 00:17:34,947 --> 00:17:37,547 Speaker 2: a lot of last week when those two went off. 313 00:17:37,627 --> 00:17:41,427 Speaker 2: Fabian Holland and Josh Lord the lock in combination. I 314 00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,827 Speaker 2: think Josh Lord had his best all Blacks tests last weekend. 315 00:17:44,667 --> 00:17:48,947 Speaker 2: Sam Dowry onto the bench, Quintepia and Leicster fighting Anuku 316 00:17:49,147 --> 00:17:53,067 Speaker 2: in midfield are really like that. Quinta Pia, of course, 317 00:17:53,187 --> 00:17:58,267 Speaker 2: was almost a surprise selection, wasn't he yet center when 318 00:17:58,267 --> 00:18:02,147 Speaker 2: he was named there for the Test against Australia in 319 00:18:02,187 --> 00:18:05,307 Speaker 2: Perth and then backed up against Ireland last weekend. Quickly 320 00:18:05,347 --> 00:18:08,627 Speaker 2: moved into second five of his more customary position. I 321 00:18:08,627 --> 00:18:11,427 Speaker 2: guess you'd say, once Jordy Barrett went off and lest 322 00:18:11,427 --> 00:18:14,267 Speaker 2: I fa Anuku came on, I like the I like 323 00:18:14,307 --> 00:18:19,707 Speaker 2: that midfield a tweak in the Lucy's as well, while 324 00:18:19,707 --> 00:18:21,947 Speaker 2: a Satiti starting at six having come off the bench 325 00:18:21,947 --> 00:18:27,307 Speaker 2: in the last two tests Satiti Savere Larkey, I like that. 326 00:18:28,267 --> 00:18:30,707 Speaker 2: It's a good site. It's a good site. It also 327 00:18:30,787 --> 00:18:34,347 Speaker 2: speaks on perhaps a slightly different topic as to what 328 00:18:34,587 --> 00:18:39,227 Speaker 2: role some more experienced All Blacks might have or not 329 00:18:40,507 --> 00:18:42,267 Speaker 2: from here on and on to the next World Cup. 330 00:18:42,267 --> 00:18:46,227 Speaker 2: Players who have been overlooked for the twenty three here 331 00:18:46,307 --> 00:18:49,107 Speaker 2: and now must wonder a little bit what they're All 332 00:18:49,107 --> 00:18:53,947 Speaker 2: Black's future holds. Rico Yowani not involved in the match 333 00:18:54,027 --> 00:18:58,147 Speaker 2: day twenty three. Even though he covers center and wing. 334 00:18:59,427 --> 00:19:03,307 Speaker 2: He hasn't been named even on the reserves bench. Billy 335 00:19:03,347 --> 00:19:08,707 Speaker 2: Proctor will cover center. Presumably they can move things around 336 00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:10,507 Speaker 2: with the likes of Leicester. He can move out to 337 00:19:10,547 --> 00:19:13,267 Speaker 2: the wing, for example, They've got Damien McKenzie there as well, 338 00:19:13,347 --> 00:19:16,787 Speaker 2: So Ricco Yuani not involved. Anton Lennart Brown not involved, 339 00:19:17,827 --> 00:19:20,867 Speaker 2: even though he can cover second five and center They 340 00:19:20,867 --> 00:19:22,827 Speaker 2: could easily have put him instead of Billy Proctor, but 341 00:19:22,907 --> 00:19:27,067 Speaker 2: no it's Proctor. Severa recent Luke Jacobson released to the 342 00:19:27,067 --> 00:19:29,027 Speaker 2: All Blacks fifteen. You wonder what the future holds for 343 00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:31,347 Speaker 2: these guys in an All Blacks jersey anyway, Again, probably 344 00:19:31,387 --> 00:19:34,427 Speaker 2: a conversation for another day. If the All Blacks can 345 00:19:34,467 --> 00:19:36,147 Speaker 2: play like they did in the last twenty minutes last 346 00:19:36,147 --> 00:19:39,227 Speaker 2: week for anywhere close to an hour, then Scotland won't 347 00:19:39,227 --> 00:19:41,667 Speaker 2: live with us. I know a large part of that 348 00:19:41,787 --> 00:19:44,867 Speaker 2: was because it was the last twenty minutes and Ireland 349 00:19:44,907 --> 00:19:47,987 Speaker 2: were tiring a little bit perhaps, and we got some 350 00:19:48,067 --> 00:19:50,227 Speaker 2: good impact. But to be fair, a lot of those 351 00:19:50,547 --> 00:19:53,787 Speaker 2: bench players were on a lot earlier than they ordinarily 352 00:19:53,827 --> 00:19:58,067 Speaker 2: would have been because of those injuries. I'm sure inside 353 00:19:58,107 --> 00:19:59,827 Speaker 2: the All Blacks camp this week they will have been 354 00:20:00,747 --> 00:20:03,587 Speaker 2: building a deep desire to play like they did in 355 00:20:03,627 --> 00:20:07,027 Speaker 2: the last twenty last week for a lot longer. Keen 356 00:20:07,067 --> 00:20:08,867 Speaker 2: you hear the Scottish point of view as well. If 357 00:20:08,867 --> 00:20:10,587 Speaker 2: you're an ex pat scott now living here, how are 358 00:20:10,587 --> 00:20:14,467 Speaker 2: you feeling? Is history beckoning for you?

Often we 372 00:20:54,267 --> 00:20:55,947 Speaker 2: can't get everybody on the air when we talk about 373 00:20:55,947 --> 00:20:57,587 Speaker 2: the All Blacks. If you would like to have a yarn, 374 00:20:58,067 --> 00:20:59,867 Speaker 2: please to pick up the phone I eight hundred eighty 375 00:20:59,907 --> 00:21:02,667 Speaker 2: ten eighty tomorrow on the show, we will of course 376 00:21:02,747 --> 00:21:06,627 Speaker 2: unpack it all four o'clock kick off tomorrow morning. The 377 00:21:06,667 --> 00:21:08,907 Speaker 2: thoughts of an All Blacks assistant coach and a Scott 378 00:21:08,907 --> 00:21:10,267 Speaker 2: I few as well, but lots of time for your 379 00:21:10,307 --> 00:21:13,027 Speaker 2: calls tomorrow once the game is all done and dusted. 380 00:21:13,067 --> 00:21:15,987 Speaker 2: But I know It's always a bit harder when you 381 00:21:16,027 --> 00:21:19,067 Speaker 2: know we're talking in we're not talking in absolutes. We 382 00:21:19,147 --> 00:21:21,907 Speaker 2: haven't seen a game, But are you at all nervous? 383 00:21:23,027 --> 00:21:26,707 Speaker 2: Are you at all of the view that perhaps tomorrow 384 00:21:27,507 --> 00:21:32,707 Speaker 2: might be an historic day for Scotland. I can't see. 385 00:21:32,747 --> 00:21:37,467 Speaker 2: It doesn't feel the most likely proposition, but who knows? 386 00:21:38,387 --> 00:21:42,187 Speaker 2: Kiota Piney, says Aiden, still torn as to what time 387 00:21:42,227 --> 00:21:44,747 Speaker 2: I should set the alarm for tomorrow morning. I don't 388 00:21:44,747 --> 00:21:46,947 Speaker 2: want to get up in the wee hours to watch 389 00:21:46,987 --> 00:21:51,667 Speaker 2: glacial rucks kick tennis and two teams afraid of losing 390 00:21:51,787 --> 00:21:54,267 Speaker 2: like the first sixty minutes last week. But I would 391 00:21:54,307 --> 00:21:58,387 Speaker 2: get up, says Aiden, to watch exciting, expensive and entertaining rugby. 392 00:21:58,707 --> 00:22:01,467 Speaker 2: The All Blacks are clearly taking Scotland more seriously and 393 00:22:01,507 --> 00:22:04,507 Speaker 2: respectfully than they did in twenty twenty two, and Scotland 394 00:22:04,587 --> 00:22:06,827 Speaker 2: have a belief that they can get their first one 395 00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:10,507 Speaker 2: over us the All Whites. Yes, Hayden's call them. He's 396 00:22:10,547 --> 00:22:13,067 Speaker 2: the wearing white tomorrow. Fint Russell can direct a game 397 00:22:13,107 --> 00:22:15,707 Speaker 2: well if given from football time and space, but I 398 00:22:15,747 --> 00:22:18,147 Speaker 2: don't think Ardie, Wallace and Peter will give him any 399 00:22:18,187 --> 00:22:21,787 Speaker 2: of those luxuries. Is there enough on offer to set 400 00:22:21,827 --> 00:22:23,867 Speaker 2: the alarm for four am to warm up for a 401 00:22:23,947 --> 00:22:27,467 Speaker 2: four to ten live kickoff, or should I prioritize my 402 00:22:27,547 --> 00:22:31,667 Speaker 2: beauty sleep and watch it delayed nearer to breakfast time. Aiden, 403 00:22:31,667 --> 00:22:33,667 Speaker 2: It's a very good question. Look't you won't get a 404 00:22:33,667 --> 00:22:35,747 Speaker 2: straight answer from me. I always get up to watch live. 405 00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:38,547 Speaker 2: I just can't watch delayed for whatever reason if I 406 00:22:38,587 --> 00:22:41,147 Speaker 2: know it's not live, I just it's just this funny, 407 00:22:41,147 --> 00:22:44,787 Speaker 2: little nagging feeling I have. I would encourage you to 408 00:22:44,827 --> 00:22:48,467 Speaker 2: get up and watch it live, but then again, look you, 409 00:22:48,627 --> 00:22:50,507 Speaker 2: I'm not going to make your decision for you. But 410 00:22:50,547 --> 00:22:52,907 Speaker 2: I love the way you've laid out your argument. I 411 00:22:52,947 --> 00:22:57,907 Speaker 2: love that. Henry, Hello mate, he very good, Henry, very good. 412 00:22:57,907 --> 00:22:59,107 Speaker 2: How you feeling about tomorrow morning? 413 00:23:00,107 --> 00:23:03,307 Speaker 10: You know, I think I think we've got the mean Tomaine. 414 00:23:03,347 --> 00:23:08,947 Speaker 10: You know he plays America and you know there was 415 00:23:08,987 --> 00:23:11,027 Speaker 10: a scration, so I don't know that wouldn't have done 416 00:23:11,067 --> 00:23:13,467 Speaker 10: it any good. And it's not very often through hell 417 00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:14,667 Speaker 10: come true in sports. 418 00:23:14,747 --> 00:23:20,187 Speaker 2: Jason, Yeah, they have been known to look Yeah, I 419 00:23:20,547 --> 00:23:22,507 Speaker 2: thought that too. I think Scotland are making quite a 420 00:23:22,547 --> 00:23:24,827 Speaker 2: bit of the fact that they they ran up a 421 00:23:24,867 --> 00:23:28,347 Speaker 2: cricket score last week against a pretty average sort of 422 00:23:28,347 --> 00:23:31,907 Speaker 2: a USA side. I'm not sure that's the best lead in. 423 00:23:32,227 --> 00:23:34,187 Speaker 2: I look at the other games they've played as well, Henry. 424 00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:37,627 Speaker 2: Back in July they played some more in fig they 425 00:23:37,627 --> 00:23:39,387 Speaker 2: were here to take on New Zealand Moldy. They haven't 426 00:23:39,427 --> 00:23:42,347 Speaker 2: really played anybody decent. I don't think since since the 427 00:23:42,347 --> 00:23:46,627 Speaker 2: Six Nations really, so you know, yeah, I don't know. 428 00:23:48,707 --> 00:23:51,067 Speaker 10: Unless you all backs play really bad, which I don't 429 00:23:51,107 --> 00:23:52,427 Speaker 10: see them playing really bad. 430 00:23:52,787 --> 00:23:58,227 Speaker 2: You know, I think they'll be okay, Henry, I think 431 00:23:58,227 --> 00:24:02,547 Speaker 2: they'll be okay. Every part of me thinks that they'll 432 00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:05,667 Speaker 2: win the game. I'm not as confident, I don't think 433 00:24:05,667 --> 00:24:07,907 Speaker 2: as when we played Wales later in the year, who 434 00:24:07,907 --> 00:24:09,387 Speaker 2: have become a bit of a basket case. I think 435 00:24:09,427 --> 00:24:11,907 Speaker 2: Scotland have a bit about them. And listening to Brad 436 00:24:11,947 --> 00:24:14,467 Speaker 2: Moore there, you know, you find yourself nodding year head 437 00:24:15,387 --> 00:24:18,827 Speaker 2: and thinking, okay, well, if everything goes absolutely right for them, 438 00:24:18,827 --> 00:24:23,707 Speaker 2: and it would have to, they could, they could. Lynd says, 439 00:24:23,747 --> 00:24:25,307 Speaker 2: I don't know much about Brad Moore, but what an 440 00:24:25,307 --> 00:24:29,347 Speaker 2: excellent speaker he is. Lynn the All Blacks feat Scotland 441 00:24:29,387 --> 00:24:31,427 Speaker 2: Murrayfield one hundred years, what else could you ask for, 442 00:24:31,507 --> 00:24:36,267 Speaker 2: says this text. Not much, bow says piney traitor bow here, 443 00:24:37,827 --> 00:24:39,707 Speaker 2: I have a forty dollar bed on Scotland to win 444 00:24:39,747 --> 00:24:43,387 Speaker 2: one to twelve and twenty dollars on Scotland to win 445 00:24:43,467 --> 00:24:47,707 Speaker 2: thirteen plus. Mel Gibson will be going up and the 446 00:24:47,827 --> 00:24:53,027 Speaker 2: sideline with his face half blue. Yes, maybe the Brave 447 00:24:53,107 --> 00:24:58,227 Speaker 2: Heart movie will be channeled. Of course. Wallace Certiti, as 448 00:24:58,307 --> 00:25:00,227 Speaker 2: we know, well you may know this or may not 449 00:25:00,307 --> 00:25:04,067 Speaker 2: know this. Wallace Certiti was named after William Wallace, the 450 00:25:04,067 --> 00:25:13,307 Speaker 2: famous Scottish his historic figure shall we call him, made 451 00:25:13,307 --> 00:25:17,547 Speaker 2: famous in the movie starring Mel Gibson. Semo, Wallace's dad, 452 00:25:17,587 --> 00:25:20,787 Speaker 2: of course, was playing rugby in Scotland, and we heard 453 00:25:20,787 --> 00:25:22,027 Speaker 2: the story during the week. I'm not sure if you 454 00:25:22,107 --> 00:25:25,907 Speaker 2: picked up on this, that that Wallace was well going 455 00:25:25,947 --> 00:25:29,307 Speaker 2: to be born in Scotland, but Wallace's mum had to 456 00:25:29,547 --> 00:25:32,667 Speaker 2: make a trip back to Samoa where her father had 457 00:25:32,707 --> 00:25:36,947 Speaker 2: taken ill. So Wallace was actually born in Samoa, but 458 00:25:37,707 --> 00:25:40,027 Speaker 2: his dad, Semo, was playing in Scotland at the time 459 00:25:40,067 --> 00:25:44,067 Speaker 2: and that's where Wallace came from. William Wallace Wallace Titi. 460 00:25:46,027 --> 00:25:52,707 Speaker 11: You're nervous film, Hey, porny uh not really, that's not 461 00:25:52,747 --> 00:25:55,267 Speaker 11: a bad person to be named after, is it? William Wallace? 462 00:25:55,907 --> 00:26:00,107 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, look, it's it's a proud history. He did. 463 00:26:00,187 --> 00:26:02,747 Speaker 2: He did meet a rather unfortunate end from what I 464 00:26:03,027 --> 00:26:05,467 Speaker 2: from what I understand. But no, no, if you if 465 00:26:05,507 --> 00:26:07,347 Speaker 2: you're named after some one like that, you know you've 466 00:26:07,387 --> 00:26:09,947 Speaker 2: got well you presumably have a bit about you. 467 00:26:11,107 --> 00:26:13,627 Speaker 11: Yes you do. Yet No, the end wasn't good, not 468 00:26:13,707 --> 00:26:19,507 Speaker 11: good at all. Yeah, I I I'm in the I'm 469 00:26:19,507 --> 00:26:21,867 Speaker 11: sort of in two minds, like the text that you 470 00:26:21,907 --> 00:26:24,027 Speaker 11: were reading out, wondering whether to get up at four 471 00:26:24,067 --> 00:26:27,947 Speaker 11: o'clock and watch it live or just sort of not 472 00:26:28,027 --> 00:26:30,227 Speaker 11: worry about it, because part of me was kind kind 473 00:26:30,227 --> 00:26:34,547 Speaker 11: of thinking, well, we should do Scotland fairly easily, you know, 474 00:26:34,667 --> 00:26:37,627 Speaker 11: like it shouldn't be too much. I'm reasonably confident. But 475 00:26:37,667 --> 00:26:39,787 Speaker 11: then I was sort of thinking, you know, they've been 476 00:26:39,907 --> 00:26:42,627 Speaker 11: saying it's a hundred year thing for Scotland. There better 477 00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:46,907 Speaker 11: than they have been in the past. And then I 478 00:26:46,947 --> 00:26:48,907 Speaker 11: listened to the fellow that you were talking to at 479 00:26:48,947 --> 00:26:51,347 Speaker 11: the start of the show and he said they've got 480 00:26:51,387 --> 00:26:54,107 Speaker 11: some really good players that played for the British Lines 481 00:26:54,147 --> 00:26:55,987 Speaker 11: and that, and I'm sort of sort of thinking, well, 482 00:26:56,787 --> 00:26:58,747 Speaker 11: really does it work getting up there to have a 483 00:26:58,747 --> 00:26:59,667 Speaker 11: wee sneak peek. 484 00:26:59,747 --> 00:27:03,067 Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to make the decision for you, Phil, 485 00:27:03,307 --> 00:27:05,307 Speaker 2: I know you'll do the right thing. I reckon what 486 00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:07,227 Speaker 2: you might do. I'm just having I guess here. You 487 00:27:07,307 --> 00:27:09,827 Speaker 2: might set your alarm and see how you feel when 488 00:27:09,867 --> 00:27:10,747 Speaker 2: that alarm goes off. 489 00:27:12,067 --> 00:27:13,867 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's probably a good idea. And if I can 490 00:27:13,867 --> 00:27:15,667 Speaker 11: get there, if I can get that first foot out 491 00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,667 Speaker 11: of bed straight away, then I'll be right. If I'll 492 00:27:17,707 --> 00:27:19,627 Speaker 11: live there for a couple of minutes, I'll probably just 493 00:27:19,667 --> 00:27:22,147 Speaker 11: drift back off, or five minutes and I'll drift back off. 494 00:27:22,187 --> 00:27:24,507 Speaker 11: But because you got the cricket on as well, isn't 495 00:27:24,547 --> 00:27:26,347 Speaker 11: we to morrow? So to watch the both of them, 496 00:27:26,427 --> 00:27:28,707 Speaker 11: you know, it could be a hard task, will be 497 00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:29,987 Speaker 11: falling asleep during the cricket. 498 00:27:29,987 --> 00:27:32,387 Speaker 2: But I think you'll be okay, Phil, I think someone 499 00:27:32,467 --> 00:27:34,547 Speaker 2: like you will be okay. I know the cut of 500 00:27:34,547 --> 00:27:36,707 Speaker 2: your jib. You'll be fine, mate, You'll be fine. I 501 00:27:36,747 --> 00:27:39,147 Speaker 2: actually had a really good piece of advice once in 502 00:27:39,267 --> 00:27:41,347 Speaker 2: terms of getting up. You know, because often people get 503 00:27:41,427 --> 00:27:43,227 Speaker 2: up and it is the early hours of the morning, 504 00:27:43,227 --> 00:27:46,147 Speaker 2: and they worry about falling asleep on the couch or 505 00:27:46,147 --> 00:27:48,347 Speaker 2: in their armchair or whenever as they watch it. The 506 00:27:48,387 --> 00:27:50,347 Speaker 2: piece of advice I heard was that you get up 507 00:27:50,387 --> 00:27:53,947 Speaker 2: and you put your shoes on without socks. So you 508 00:27:54,067 --> 00:27:57,147 Speaker 2: put shoes on without socks, and it's very very hard, 509 00:27:57,147 --> 00:28:00,867 Speaker 2: apparently to fall asleep with shoes on and no socks, 510 00:28:00,907 --> 00:28:03,307 Speaker 2: because you and I don't know, it just isn't the 511 00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:09,347 Speaker 2: most comfortable of situation. Take the shoes on, those socks. 512 00:28:10,267 --> 00:28:12,667 Speaker 11: Okay, well, yeah that might be worthing to try. That's 513 00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:16,427 Speaker 11: interest and I've never heard that before, but yeah, okay, 514 00:28:16,507 --> 00:28:20,067 Speaker 11: but yeah, yeah, well yeah, I'd like to say I'm 515 00:28:20,107 --> 00:28:22,027 Speaker 11: going to have to make the call during the days 516 00:28:22,067 --> 00:28:23,947 Speaker 11: I think about it, or maybe just like you say, 517 00:28:23,987 --> 00:28:27,267 Speaker 11: set the alarm and then just make it on the 518 00:28:27,387 --> 00:28:30,107 Speaker 11: on the time when it happens. But I do like, 519 00:28:30,987 --> 00:28:36,267 Speaker 11: I do like the is it to Quintin to tie? 520 00:28:37,187 --> 00:28:41,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, quintupire quinta pire Yet he's been center now well 521 00:28:41,427 --> 00:28:43,507 Speaker 2: he's back to second five, where I think we're more 522 00:28:43,507 --> 00:28:44,507 Speaker 2: accustomed to seeing them. 523 00:28:45,387 --> 00:28:48,507 Speaker 11: Yeah, I do like him in that midfield, whether he 524 00:28:48,587 --> 00:28:53,187 Speaker 11: plays center or his usual like you say position there 525 00:28:54,587 --> 00:29:00,347 Speaker 11: so and I like the sound of I always thought 526 00:29:01,267 --> 00:29:04,867 Speaker 11: Ardie Severe is best at number seven, so in the 527 00:29:04,987 --> 00:29:07,547 Speaker 11: number eight and that. So yeah, I like and like 528 00:29:07,627 --> 00:29:10,587 Speaker 11: you said, I watched the Irish game and we were 529 00:29:10,627 --> 00:29:14,147 Speaker 11: flandering about and it was pretty messy for the sixty minutes. 530 00:29:14,147 --> 00:29:16,827 Speaker 11: But when that bench came on, things changed completely. I 531 00:29:16,827 --> 00:29:21,227 Speaker 11: don't know how, Like I think the turning point too, 532 00:29:21,347 --> 00:29:23,347 Speaker 11: was not only the bench players coming on, And I 533 00:29:23,347 --> 00:29:25,787 Speaker 11: didn't even see Damien McKenzie come on until he start, 534 00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:27,867 Speaker 11: until he helped make that try, and it was like, buddy, 535 00:29:27,867 --> 00:29:32,667 Speaker 11: how Damien McKenzie's on. But I don't know how the 536 00:29:32,667 --> 00:29:35,507 Speaker 11: referee seen that ball grounded. I mean, I'm glad that 537 00:29:35,627 --> 00:29:37,827 Speaker 11: you know we got it, but I was looking at 538 00:29:37,867 --> 00:29:40,347 Speaker 11: it and it kind of looked like he might have 539 00:29:40,507 --> 00:29:43,467 Speaker 11: got either just over the line with that little shove 540 00:29:43,587 --> 00:29:46,387 Speaker 11: or a little go forward or either on the line. 541 00:29:46,387 --> 00:29:48,947 Speaker 11: But I was looking at it thinking I can't I 542 00:29:49,067 --> 00:29:51,467 Speaker 11: don't know how the hell you can tell that bull's 543 00:29:51,507 --> 00:29:54,227 Speaker 11: actually grounded because I couldn't see it at all, you know. 544 00:29:54,347 --> 00:29:57,787 Speaker 11: So but that was I think that thing to bring 545 00:29:57,827 --> 00:30:01,547 Speaker 11: on a momentum shift as well, where the All Blacks 546 00:30:01,627 --> 00:30:03,307 Speaker 11: kicked up and that, like you say, it was good 547 00:30:03,307 --> 00:30:05,427 Speaker 11: to see that last twenty minutes was going back to 548 00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:08,987 Speaker 11: the all blacks of ball where they would other teams 549 00:30:09,027 --> 00:30:11,187 Speaker 11: would start to fade off and the all backs would 550 00:30:11,227 --> 00:30:13,787 Speaker 11: step it up, you know and put even more pressure 551 00:30:13,827 --> 00:30:18,107 Speaker 11: and that superior fitness would I don't know, I guess 552 00:30:18,107 --> 00:30:20,427 Speaker 11: it was superior fitness with training would come in and 553 00:30:20,467 --> 00:30:24,267 Speaker 11: they would up the intensity even more even though they 554 00:30:24,267 --> 00:30:27,587 Speaker 11: were probably quite bagging and fatigue. But yeah, so that 555 00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:28,347 Speaker 11: was good to see. 556 00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:30,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

And look I know 590 00:32:02,627 --> 00:32:04,547 Speaker 8: it was two or three or three or four weeks 591 00:32:04,547 --> 00:32:08,587 Speaker 8: between games. You know that first fifty minutes was pretty 592 00:32:08,587 --> 00:32:12,107 Speaker 8: bloody scrappy, wasn't it? And I think everyone was pretty 593 00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:14,747 Speaker 8: disappointed with it. But then saying that, you know a 594 00:32:14,787 --> 00:32:17,027 Speaker 8: couple of things that the Orbrecks did, they did really well. 595 00:32:17,027 --> 00:32:19,347 Speaker 8: This's got a couple of really nice schwiz bar Ford 596 00:32:19,427 --> 00:32:21,347 Speaker 8: pass at the end probably could have scored another one. 597 00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:24,867 Speaker 8: So there's potential there to show that when they get 598 00:32:24,907 --> 00:32:30,107 Speaker 8: going there, they're really dangerous. So but in saying that, 599 00:32:30,307 --> 00:32:33,267 Speaker 8: you know, Scotland's come off a fantastic test against America. 600 00:32:33,387 --> 00:32:36,427 Speaker 8: No to speak to America either, but probably not the 601 00:32:36,427 --> 00:32:41,107 Speaker 8: biggest opposition led into an all breat game. But you 602 00:32:41,107 --> 00:32:43,107 Speaker 8: know the scott his team has been playing for rugby 603 00:32:43,107 --> 00:32:46,307 Speaker 8: for a while now and began history is there to 604 00:32:46,347 --> 00:32:50,707 Speaker 8: be broken. Isn't it twenty odd years or so that 605 00:32:50,747 --> 00:32:54,907 Speaker 8: they had never beaten the Allbreacks. So it's it's a 606 00:32:55,027 --> 00:32:58,787 Speaker 8: fantastic opportunity for them. And I know that Gregortans in 607 00:33:00,227 --> 00:33:02,867 Speaker 8: more personally, I love the way that they He's got 608 00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:05,987 Speaker 8: his team attacking and and you know they've got some 609 00:33:06,347 --> 00:33:10,347 Speaker 8: pretty many footballers in this sort so even with dropping venom, 610 00:33:10,667 --> 00:33:13,067 Speaker 8: so yeah, it's going to be really interesting, isn't that. 611 00:33:13,547 --> 00:33:15,267 Speaker 2: Can we talk about a couple of those fairly handy 612 00:33:15,267 --> 00:33:18,427 Speaker 2: players Finn Russell and see on twoep a lot to 613 00:33:18,547 --> 00:33:22,067 Speaker 2: the ten twelve axis. How crucial might that be? 614 00:33:22,987 --> 00:33:25,667 Speaker 14: Oh? Messive? But but look it's like anything, isn't it. 615 00:33:25,707 --> 00:33:28,667 Speaker 8: If if the Fords don't do their job, then it's 616 00:33:28,667 --> 00:33:30,947 Speaker 8: going to be bloody hard for ten and twelve in 617 00:33:31,107 --> 00:33:33,827 Speaker 8: nine for that matter, to really get gone. But I 618 00:33:34,947 --> 00:33:38,147 Speaker 8: think Finn's a real confidence player too. When he's on 619 00:33:38,187 --> 00:33:40,227 Speaker 8: the front foot and has gone well, he can be 620 00:33:40,347 --> 00:33:41,627 Speaker 8: absolutely real class. 621 00:33:41,747 --> 00:33:44,667 Speaker 14: So you know, I love watching him play. 622 00:33:44,707 --> 00:33:47,227 Speaker 8: He's one of those guys that that kids you excited 623 00:33:47,227 --> 00:33:48,827 Speaker 8: every time you see him get the ball because you 624 00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:51,347 Speaker 8: think what's he going to do to a plot? He's 625 00:33:51,387 --> 00:33:52,347 Speaker 8: made every post to win. 626 00:33:52,467 --> 00:33:55,147 Speaker 14: He played outstandingly well on the lines to it, didn't he? 627 00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:59,547 Speaker 8: And the other thing with that is they're going to 628 00:33:59,547 --> 00:34:02,787 Speaker 8: bring that experience back into back into the to the 629 00:34:02,827 --> 00:34:06,187 Speaker 8: max for Scotland as well. So and and you add 630 00:34:06,427 --> 00:34:11,667 Speaker 8: that the hundred years of Murrayfield, which is just an 631 00:34:11,787 --> 00:34:13,387 Speaker 8: unbelievable stadium. 632 00:34:13,947 --> 00:34:15,587 Speaker 14: There's going to be a massive crowd. 633 00:34:16,307 --> 00:34:18,667 Speaker 8: Everyone gets excited about the All Blacks being in town, 634 00:34:18,747 --> 00:34:22,547 Speaker 8: but this is just another step up. They've had you know, 635 00:34:22,667 --> 00:34:26,507 Speaker 8: rugby awards over the are with with all the old 636 00:34:26,507 --> 00:34:30,307 Speaker 8: players and the end of you know, put a few 637 00:34:30,307 --> 00:34:32,747 Speaker 8: of the older boys into the Hall of Fame. So 638 00:34:32,787 --> 00:34:35,227 Speaker 8: they've been there's been a really big week leading up 639 00:34:35,267 --> 00:34:38,467 Speaker 8: to this Test and and I know I know for 640 00:34:38,467 --> 00:34:40,827 Speaker 8: a fact that those two players in particular are going 641 00:34:40,907 --> 00:34:44,267 Speaker 8: to be bloody key for Scotland performing. But it's like 642 00:34:44,267 --> 00:34:46,467 Speaker 8: anything when you play the All Blacks, you can't make 643 00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:49,227 Speaker 8: a lot of mistakes because they punish you and that's 644 00:34:49,227 --> 00:34:50,667 Speaker 8: what Test rugby is all about to you. 645 00:34:50,907 --> 00:34:52,787 Speaker 2: And you're also right to land on the forwards, even 646 00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,827 Speaker 2: as a former back yourself. I mean, Fords will tell 647 00:34:54,827 --> 00:34:57,707 Speaker 2: you it all starts up front. How do you evaluate 648 00:34:57,787 --> 00:35:01,187 Speaker 2: Scotland's ability to match it with the All Blacks physically 649 00:35:01,667 --> 00:35:03,027 Speaker 2: in those forward exchanges. 650 00:35:04,347 --> 00:35:06,147 Speaker 14: I don't think I'll be afraid of it. Put their way, 651 00:35:06,867 --> 00:35:07,347 Speaker 14: they've been. 652 00:35:07,427 --> 00:35:10,707 Speaker 8: They've been really really good upfront against some of the 653 00:35:10,707 --> 00:35:13,027 Speaker 8: other swordes, particularly in the Six Nations. Now they're coming 654 00:35:13,067 --> 00:35:17,147 Speaker 8: up against France and obviously England as well, and they've 655 00:35:17,187 --> 00:35:20,187 Speaker 8: put on some bloody good performances and beatn them as well, 656 00:35:20,307 --> 00:35:22,107 Speaker 8: So they're not afraid of that part. 657 00:35:22,147 --> 00:35:23,307 Speaker 14: They've got some big players. 658 00:35:23,427 --> 00:35:26,307 Speaker 8: They've got guys who are not also playing in Scotland 659 00:35:26,347 --> 00:35:29,827 Speaker 8: but also then in the Premiership as well, and guys 660 00:35:29,907 --> 00:35:32,827 Speaker 8: playing in France, so they'll they'll be not afraid to 661 00:35:32,867 --> 00:35:36,547 Speaker 8: mix it up. I suppose it's like anything, you know. 662 00:35:36,747 --> 00:35:39,347 Speaker 8: I don't think they'll probably try and take them on physically. 663 00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:41,787 Speaker 8: I think they'll try and move the NewView Zealand around it. 664 00:35:41,787 --> 00:35:44,267 Speaker 8: But because of the way in the last three while 665 00:35:44,467 --> 00:35:47,667 Speaker 8: that Scotland's been playing, they know they're not going to 666 00:35:47,707 --> 00:35:49,307 Speaker 8: best the all blecks up up front. 667 00:35:50,227 --> 00:35:53,067 Speaker 14: They're just not but to move them around a bit and. 668 00:35:53,027 --> 00:35:56,827 Speaker 8: Get them, get them moving, and I think that's how 669 00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:59,027 Speaker 8: they'll play them because if they do try and take 670 00:35:59,027 --> 00:36:01,027 Speaker 8: them on up front and beat them up, they just 671 00:36:01,067 --> 00:36:02,867 Speaker 8: won't do that. So I think they're going to go 672 00:36:02,907 --> 00:36:04,507 Speaker 8: to their strengths and that is moving the ball because 673 00:36:04,507 --> 00:36:07,027 Speaker 8: they've got some guys in their background, particularly uh a 674 00:36:07,107 --> 00:36:10,427 Speaker 8: bloody good ball in hand, so mixed up with the 675 00:36:10,427 --> 00:36:15,507 Speaker 8: guys in the midfield, I really enjoy that. The outside 676 00:36:15,547 --> 00:36:17,587 Speaker 8: bets for Scotland as well, they're not afraid to throw 677 00:36:17,627 --> 00:36:19,787 Speaker 8: the ball around, so I think it just makes a 678 00:36:19,827 --> 00:36:22,107 Speaker 8: real good mix and that's a bit exciting. 679 00:36:22,627 --> 00:36:27,107 Speaker 2: How do you think Scotland coach Gregor Townsend is regarded 680 00:36:27,147 --> 00:36:29,107 Speaker 2: by Scottish rugby fans. 681 00:36:29,827 --> 00:36:33,987 Speaker 14: I think there's a mix. He's probably caught that his 682 00:36:34,107 --> 00:36:34,947 Speaker 14: whole bloody life. 683 00:36:34,987 --> 00:36:38,827 Speaker 8: For Paul Bugger well, I think guys a fantastic rugby player, 684 00:36:39,027 --> 00:36:42,867 Speaker 8: he was probably a Mercuriel was probably one of the 685 00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:45,547 Speaker 8: ones he could call him. He was he could do 686 00:36:45,707 --> 00:36:47,307 Speaker 8: things that does no one else could do and then 687 00:36:47,347 --> 00:36:49,627 Speaker 8: other times that it didn't go so great for him 688 00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:52,787 Speaker 8: say look, I know, I know, I've been there, done that. 689 00:36:53,147 --> 00:36:55,787 Speaker 8: When it comes to that as well, not everything comes off. 690 00:36:55,827 --> 00:37:00,227 Speaker 8: But as a coach, I think he's you know, the 691 00:37:00,267 --> 00:37:03,747 Speaker 8: hard part about coaching is you're not everyone's friend, and 692 00:37:03,867 --> 00:37:07,387 Speaker 8: particularly in the team, you've got to make some bloody 693 00:37:07,427 --> 00:37:09,787 Speaker 8: tough calls, which he obviously has this week week in 694 00:37:09,907 --> 00:37:12,547 Speaker 8: with Vandermere because he obviously gets one of them really well. 695 00:37:12,907 --> 00:37:15,787 Speaker 8: But I just like the way that he likes to 696 00:37:15,827 --> 00:37:18,547 Speaker 8: attack and he's done that with this team. They've they've 697 00:37:18,587 --> 00:37:21,867 Speaker 8: thrown the ball around, they've given the ball here, they're 698 00:37:21,867 --> 00:37:24,787 Speaker 8: not afraid to cross kicks. He's had to mend a 699 00:37:24,827 --> 00:37:27,307 Speaker 8: relationship with Finn Russell as well, which he seems to 700 00:37:27,347 --> 00:37:31,187 Speaker 8: have so you know, from from a from a coaching 701 00:37:31,227 --> 00:37:33,467 Speaker 8: point of view, I think Gregor has probably. 702 00:37:33,267 --> 00:37:35,027 Speaker 14: Learned a lot on the way as well. 703 00:37:35,147 --> 00:37:38,387 Speaker 8: And I know he's taken on another week roll here 704 00:37:38,427 --> 00:37:40,627 Speaker 8: and there's been a few people who are not very 705 00:37:40,627 --> 00:37:43,347 Speaker 8: happy about their part. But look, I think he's done 706 00:37:43,347 --> 00:37:46,667 Speaker 8: a really good job with Scotland and and and. 707 00:37:46,827 --> 00:37:48,307 Speaker 14: You know he's very invested in it. 708 00:37:48,387 --> 00:37:49,987 Speaker 8: You know, he's been doing it quite a while now 709 00:37:50,027 --> 00:37:53,067 Speaker 8: and he loves Scottish rugby so and he's a good 710 00:37:53,107 --> 00:37:54,987 Speaker 8: fellow a journey, he's a top men. 711 00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:56,507 Speaker 14: So I hope he does well. 712 00:37:56,627 --> 00:37:59,267 Speaker 2: And you mentioned murray Field and their one hundred year 713 00:37:59,347 --> 00:38:03,227 Speaker 2: celebration this weekend.

It is very very cool. 716 00:38:07,947 --> 00:38:10,867 Speaker 8: I've been lucky enough to play at Caresbrook, I've been 717 00:38:10,907 --> 00:38:15,507 Speaker 8: lucky enough to play in the Star Front say I'm 718 00:38:16,547 --> 00:38:18,867 Speaker 8: lucky enough to play in Wales in the millionum stadium. 719 00:38:18,907 --> 00:38:23,907 Speaker 8: But there's just something just something about Murrayfield, and one 720 00:38:23,987 --> 00:38:27,187 Speaker 8: sort of the field's really really really closer if you're 721 00:38:27,227 --> 00:38:29,667 Speaker 8: throwing the balling or you're standing on the wing. The 722 00:38:29,747 --> 00:38:32,747 Speaker 8: people are pretty much about ten meters away the other 723 00:38:32,787 --> 00:38:34,667 Speaker 8: side of the field. Obviously there's a running track, but 724 00:38:34,787 --> 00:38:38,227 Speaker 8: still with boys. But everything it's just quite on top 725 00:38:38,267 --> 00:38:41,667 Speaker 8: of you.

So Mark Older, keep tabs 819 00:43:37,507 --> 00:43:41,587 Speaker 2: on Rochdale as I know you will across the next 820 00:43:41,627 --> 00:43:44,467 Speaker 2: few months or so, just updoating you on Ford Trophy 821 00:43:44,507 --> 00:43:48,427 Speaker 2: cricket from around the traps before we move on.

Last season it was 842 00:44:57,227 --> 00:45:00,907 Speaker 2: derby domination for Auckland f C. We've had seven and 843 00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:07,907 Speaker 2: a half minutes. I've had a time New Zealand the as. 844 00:45:07,827 --> 00:45:20,307 Speaker 15: Blue bragging rights for the A leagues, New Boys, breath taken, barnstorming, 845 00:45:21,427 --> 00:45:26,227 Speaker 15: brilliant game of football, electric. 846 00:45:25,627 --> 00:45:27,587 Speaker 2: Blue in the derby. 847 00:45:29,107 --> 00:45:35,267 Speaker 15: There can be absolutely no doubts New Zealand football is 848 00:45:35,387 --> 00:45:37,267 Speaker 15: blue and black. 849 00:45:38,547 --> 00:45:43,467 Speaker 2: Auckland FC have tol verized Wellington Phoenix today. That was 850 00:45:43,507 --> 00:45:46,267 Speaker 2: last season two nil, two to one, six to one, 851 00:45:46,827 --> 00:45:49,867 Speaker 2: but it is a new season now. Both sides coming 852 00:45:49,947 --> 00:45:53,347 Speaker 2: into the match unbeaten after their first three matches, so 853 00:45:53,427 --> 00:45:55,587 Speaker 2: in pretty good form. We'll get you inside the Phoenix 854 00:45:55,587 --> 00:45:58,507 Speaker 2: camp soon. But Auckland f C and All Whites fallback. 855 00:45:58,547 --> 00:46:01,107 Speaker 2: Francis Devrees is with us on the show. Francis, thanks 856 00:46:01,147 --> 00:46:03,707 Speaker 2: for your time. What's your overall evaluation before we look 857 00:46:03,747 --> 00:46:06,707 Speaker 2: at tonight Of the first three games of the season 858 00:46:06,787 --> 00:46:07,747 Speaker 2: for Auckland. 859 00:46:07,387 --> 00:46:10,267 Speaker 16: FC, it's been a positive start for us. I think 860 00:46:10,267 --> 00:46:13,587 Speaker 16: we've had tough fixtures so it's nice to know that 861 00:46:14,387 --> 00:46:16,147 Speaker 16: we can gel together quickly as a team as we 862 00:46:16,147 --> 00:46:18,147 Speaker 16: did last year, and I think the feeling and the 863 00:46:18,147 --> 00:46:21,307 Speaker 16: squad is good, so I'm definitely looking forward to the 864 00:46:21,307 --> 00:46:21,867 Speaker 16: game tonight. 865 00:46:22,147 --> 00:46:25,467 Speaker 2: You've started well defensively, again, just the one goal conceded 866 00:46:25,467 --> 00:46:28,827 Speaker 2: and three matches so far. What is behind this ongoing 867 00:46:29,227 --> 00:46:32,507 Speaker 2: defense of solidity that's become a real hallmark of Auckland FC. 868 00:46:33,587 --> 00:46:34,667 Speaker 2: I think a couple of things. 869 00:46:34,707 --> 00:46:38,347 Speaker 16: Like, obviously, the work rate of the whole team is exceptional. 870 00:46:39,107 --> 00:46:41,067 Speaker 16: I think we see that every week in terms of 871 00:46:41,547 --> 00:46:43,587 Speaker 16: how we press from the front and how much of 872 00:46:43,627 --> 00:46:46,267 Speaker 16: the midfield is to get back and everyone working together. 873 00:46:46,347 --> 00:46:49,587 Speaker 16: So that's the start, and then I think after that 874 00:46:49,667 --> 00:46:52,387 Speaker 16: we have really started to build that as part of 875 00:46:52,547 --> 00:46:54,987 Speaker 16: who we are as a club and people take pride 876 00:46:55,027 --> 00:46:58,067 Speaker 16: in it. So yeah, it's a combination of things. Obviously 877 00:46:58,107 --> 00:46:59,787 Speaker 16: a lot of practice and a lot of hard work, 878 00:46:59,827 --> 00:47:03,827 Speaker 16: but it's extremely positive and a real joy to be 879 00:47:03,907 --> 00:47:04,307 Speaker 16: a part of. 880 00:47:04,627 --> 00:47:06,987 Speaker 2: At the other end, just the three goals in three 881 00:47:07,027 --> 00:47:10,867 Speaker 2: games so far, it's becoming a bit more prolific. Is 882 00:47:10,907 --> 00:47:12,387 Speaker 2: that a work on? Has that been a work on 883 00:47:12,507 --> 00:47:13,547 Speaker 2: for you guys? 884 00:47:14,347 --> 00:47:14,747 Speaker 11: For sure? 885 00:47:14,787 --> 00:47:17,747 Speaker 16: I mean as a footballer individually and as a team, 886 00:47:17,787 --> 00:47:20,787 Speaker 16: you're you're always looking to improve and it's definitely one 887 00:47:20,827 --> 00:47:24,907 Speaker 16: of the areas that we've identified that we can continue 888 00:47:24,907 --> 00:47:28,427 Speaker 16: to improve on and also jail together a little bit more. 889 00:47:29,467 --> 00:47:31,307 Speaker 16: I think you can see there are goals in the team, 890 00:47:31,427 --> 00:47:35,507 Speaker 16: so it's a question of when, not if, And personally 891 00:47:35,547 --> 00:47:38,867 Speaker 16: I'm really looking forward to to seeing who steps up 892 00:47:38,907 --> 00:47:41,507 Speaker 16: and who scores a few crackers like we had last year. 893 00:47:41,587 --> 00:47:45,907 Speaker 16: So hopefully that's something that we can begin to add 894 00:47:45,907 --> 00:47:47,147 Speaker 16: more and more as the season goes on. 895 00:47:47,387 --> 00:47:49,507 Speaker 2: We've got a new target man this season in English 896 00:47:49,547 --> 00:47:52,787 Speaker 2: striker Sam Cosgrove, a real aerial threat. We saw him 897 00:47:52,787 --> 00:47:55,347 Speaker 2: open his account last weekend from one of your crosses 898 00:47:55,387 --> 00:47:58,267 Speaker 2: at set peace time. How much have you worked together 899 00:47:58,467 --> 00:48:01,387 Speaker 2: on set piece and open play delivery the two of 900 00:48:01,427 --> 00:48:04,107 Speaker 2: you specifically, It's been a. 901 00:48:04,027 --> 00:48:06,347 Speaker 16: Bit broken, to be honest, because I mean I've been 902 00:48:06,427 --> 00:48:09,307 Speaker 16: away with New Zealand so much in this preseason, so 903 00:48:09,947 --> 00:48:14,507 Speaker 16: I'd say we're still understanding each other and still figuring 904 00:48:14,547 --> 00:48:16,707 Speaker 16: out how to best connect. But as you saw on 905 00:48:16,747 --> 00:48:19,587 Speaker 16: the weekend, I think it is starting to come together 906 00:48:19,627 --> 00:48:21,947 Speaker 16: and it's always a great feeling to do that in 907 00:48:21,947 --> 00:48:25,027 Speaker 16: front of your home fans. So I think for him 908 00:48:25,227 --> 00:48:28,227 Speaker 16: was obviously a great moment and a lot of pride 909 00:48:28,267 --> 00:48:31,547 Speaker 16: in getting his first goal for Auckland and hopefully plenty 910 00:48:31,587 --> 00:48:33,707 Speaker 16: more to come. And whether they're off my boot for 911 00:48:33,707 --> 00:48:36,827 Speaker 16: the assist or someone else's It's all good. Like, as 912 00:48:36,867 --> 00:48:41,027 Speaker 16: long as the team is going forwards, I think everybody benefits, 913 00:48:41,067 --> 00:48:43,707 Speaker 16: so we'll be nice to see how he continues his form. 914 00:48:43,787 --> 00:48:46,867 Speaker 2: Like that is Darby week different from a normal A 915 00:48:47,027 --> 00:48:47,587 Speaker 2: league week? 916 00:48:48,627 --> 00:48:50,307 Speaker 9: Do you mean, like in terms of how we prepare 917 00:48:50,307 --> 00:48:50,667 Speaker 9: for it. 918 00:48:50,627 --> 00:48:53,027 Speaker 2: Which is how it feels more than anything. I know 919 00:48:53,067 --> 00:48:55,907 Speaker 2: you probably prepare the same way, but do you do 920 00:48:55,947 --> 00:48:57,907 Speaker 2: you feel a bit different about such a you know, 921 00:48:58,067 --> 00:48:58,947 Speaker 2: such a big game. 922 00:48:59,747 --> 00:49:02,707 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think I think definitely yes, And obviously being 923 00:49:02,707 --> 00:49:04,667 Speaker 16: from New Zealand, it's it's quite a special week to 924 00:49:04,707 --> 00:49:07,907 Speaker 16: be a part of. Like I just want to reiterate again, 925 00:49:08,427 --> 00:49:10,427 Speaker 16: I think it's a fantastic thing for all of New 926 00:49:10,507 --> 00:49:13,827 Speaker 16: Zealand to have two teams in the competition and two 927 00:49:13,907 --> 00:49:19,147 Speaker 16: opportunities for KIV players to step up and show the 928 00:49:19,147 --> 00:49:22,107 Speaker 16: capabilities that we have in this country and more and 929 00:49:22,147 --> 00:49:24,507 Speaker 16: more we're growing as a nation with football, So I 930 00:49:24,507 --> 00:49:27,507 Speaker 16: think this is a super important aspect to it, and 931 00:49:27,547 --> 00:49:29,587 Speaker 16: it definitely makes you excited to play and when you 932 00:49:30,707 --> 00:49:33,627 Speaker 16: have this week of excitement coming up. 933 00:49:33,947 --> 00:49:36,187 Speaker 2: Yeah. I heard your coach Steve Corriker earlier in the 934 00:49:36,227 --> 00:49:38,427 Speaker 2: week and he does not shy away from it at all. 935 00:49:38,467 --> 00:49:40,867 Speaker 2: You know, he is, by the sounds of it anyway, 936 00:49:40,867 --> 00:49:44,987 Speaker 2: embracing the fact that this is an exciting occasion for players, 937 00:49:44,987 --> 00:49:47,627 Speaker 2: for fans, for coaches alike. Is there any danger for 938 00:49:47,627 --> 00:49:52,627 Speaker 2: any of letting, letting the enormity of a game get 939 00:49:52,627 --> 00:49:56,027 Speaker 2: the better of you. Do you have to consciously stay grounded. 940 00:49:57,147 --> 00:49:58,147 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's something. 941 00:49:57,947 --> 00:49:59,707 Speaker 16: That we've spoken about this week as well, and we 942 00:50:00,147 --> 00:50:03,067 Speaker 16: have some good help there with Hamus who works with 943 00:50:03,147 --> 00:50:05,907 Speaker 16: us on our mindset and got a lot of experience 944 00:50:05,907 --> 00:50:08,667 Speaker 16: in the squad well. So it's definitely something to be 945 00:50:08,707 --> 00:50:11,867 Speaker 16: conscious of and something that we have some strategies around 946 00:50:11,907 --> 00:50:15,667 Speaker 16: of how to regulate yourself, how to stay focused, how 947 00:50:15,667 --> 00:50:18,827 Speaker 16: to be composed in those big moments. So looking forward 948 00:50:18,827 --> 00:50:20,747 Speaker 16: to putting that into practice this weekend. 949 00:50:21,307 --> 00:50:23,827 Speaker 2: And you skip of Hierroarchi. Sarki unfortunately is going to 950 00:50:23,827 --> 00:50:25,987 Speaker 2: miss not only this game, but by the sounds of it, 951 00:50:26,027 --> 00:50:28,587 Speaker 2: about six weeks with the hamstring injury he picked up 952 00:50:28,947 --> 00:50:32,947 Speaker 2: last weekend against Adelaide. How big a loss is Hiroki Sarki. 953 00:50:33,787 --> 00:50:35,787 Speaker 9: It is tough for him, tough for us. 954 00:50:36,587 --> 00:50:39,147 Speaker 16: He's obviously a massive player in our team with what 955 00:50:39,227 --> 00:50:43,027 Speaker 16: he brings quality wise and also leadership was although I 956 00:50:43,067 --> 00:50:47,027 Speaker 16: would say when Callen came on, fantastic job, as he 957 00:50:47,067 --> 00:50:50,227 Speaker 16: does every time he plays in my opinion. So again, 958 00:50:50,307 --> 00:50:53,707 Speaker 16: it's another opportunity for a New Zealand player to excel 959 00:50:53,827 --> 00:50:57,267 Speaker 16: in the league and no doubt he will do that 960 00:50:57,347 --> 00:50:58,707 Speaker 16: as he has done for. 961 00:50:58,747 --> 00:50:59,467 Speaker 17: Us last year. 962 00:50:59,547 --> 00:51:01,587 Speaker 16: So yeah, it's a tough loss, but we also have 963 00:51:02,187 --> 00:51:05,067 Speaker 16: a very capable player coming into that position and someone 964 00:51:05,067 --> 00:51:07,547 Speaker 16: who can really positively impact the game for our team. 965 00:51:07,747 --> 00:51:10,187 Speaker 2: What about in terms of the leadership on the field, 966 00:51:10,227 --> 00:51:12,947 Speaker 2: does Hiroki play a big part there or is that 967 00:51:13,067 --> 00:51:15,667 Speaker 2: more a guy I don't know from the outside, looking 968 00:51:15,867 --> 00:51:17,507 Speaker 2: like Jake Brimmer who seems to be a lot more 969 00:51:17,547 --> 00:51:18,707 Speaker 2: vocal on the grass. 970 00:51:20,587 --> 00:51:21,387 Speaker 18: It's a good question. 971 00:51:21,827 --> 00:51:24,147 Speaker 16: I think it depends a little bit on the game. 972 00:51:24,187 --> 00:51:27,707 Speaker 16: I think we have a lot of leaders within the team. 973 00:51:28,427 --> 00:51:29,467 Speaker 14: Someone who stands. 974 00:51:29,187 --> 00:51:32,587 Speaker 16: Out for me is Dan Hall with how he leads 975 00:51:33,547 --> 00:51:37,107 Speaker 16: just in terms of how he communicates with other players 976 00:51:37,147 --> 00:51:39,947 Speaker 16: on the field, how he sees people, and how he 977 00:51:39,987 --> 00:51:44,147 Speaker 16: makes you feel like trusted and well looked after. So 978 00:51:44,587 --> 00:51:48,347 Speaker 16: that's just one example. There's examples everywhere as well. Obviously, 979 00:51:48,347 --> 00:51:51,387 Speaker 16: Horocki is the man with the armband most games and 980 00:51:51,867 --> 00:51:54,387 Speaker 16: He's the one that is kind of the focal point, 981 00:51:54,427 --> 00:51:56,787 Speaker 16: but I think the leadership has also spread throughout the 982 00:51:56,827 --> 00:52:00,027 Speaker 16: team and that's been one of our strengths last year 983 00:52:00,027 --> 00:52:01,987 Speaker 16: and hopefully to continue this year as well. 984 00:52:02,467 --> 00:52:05,267 Speaker 2: Auckland FC played twenty eight games last season three this 985 00:52:05,387 --> 00:52:09,347 Speaker 2: season the only player to have started every single one 986 00:52:09,347 --> 00:52:12,107 Speaker 2: of those thirty one games. How much do you pride 987 00:52:12,107 --> 00:52:13,907 Speaker 2: yourself on being hard to leave out? 988 00:52:15,307 --> 00:52:15,907 Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a. 989 00:52:15,867 --> 00:52:16,747 Speaker 14: Great feeling, obviously. 990 00:52:16,827 --> 00:52:19,307 Speaker 16: I think that the hallmark of a good player, and 991 00:52:19,547 --> 00:52:22,387 Speaker 16: this is what I've believed all my career is consistency 992 00:52:22,547 --> 00:52:26,307 Speaker 16: and being reliable and that kind of comes over time, 993 00:52:26,347 --> 00:52:29,147 Speaker 16: and to see that happening now within this environment is 994 00:52:29,187 --> 00:52:32,307 Speaker 16: pretty special. It's something that I'm really proud of. And 995 00:52:32,987 --> 00:52:34,867 Speaker 16: you know, when I called Dad after the game and Mum, 996 00:52:34,907 --> 00:52:38,307 Speaker 16: they're stoked about it too. So it's just really nice 997 00:52:38,347 --> 00:52:41,987 Speaker 16: to be contributing and to be able to pass on 998 00:52:42,027 --> 00:52:44,747 Speaker 16: those great memories to the people that you care about. 999 00:52:45,787 --> 00:52:48,387 Speaker 16: So yeah, it's a really big point of pride for sure. 1000 00:52:48,747 --> 00:52:51,507 Speaker 2: And after this game International Window you jump on a 1001 00:52:51,507 --> 00:52:53,627 Speaker 2: plane to the United States for the All White's latest 1002 00:52:53,627 --> 00:52:57,187 Speaker 2: Window matches against Columbia and Ecuador. You've started the last 1003 00:52:57,267 --> 00:53:01,347 Speaker 2: four matches for New Zealand. You're starting to feel as 1004 00:53:01,347 --> 00:53:04,587 Speaker 2: though next year's World Cup is really solidifying for you 1005 00:53:04,667 --> 00:53:07,147 Speaker 2: as a squad. Are you going to be a part 1006 00:53:07,187 --> 00:53:09,067 Speaker 2: of I don't think so. 1007 00:53:09,107 --> 00:53:09,507 Speaker 14: Not yet. 1008 00:53:09,507 --> 00:53:12,027 Speaker 16: I mean there's a bit of baggage there with obviously 1009 00:53:12,107 --> 00:53:15,067 Speaker 16: after the last qualifiers that's when I did my ACL 1010 00:53:15,187 --> 00:53:17,547 Speaker 16: so I kind of know, you know that at one 1011 00:53:17,627 --> 00:53:20,267 Speaker 16: small moment kind of changed everything for me in my 1012 00:53:20,347 --> 00:53:23,027 Speaker 16: career and what I thought might happen and didn't end 1013 00:53:23,067 --> 00:53:26,067 Speaker 16: up happening, So I'm definitely not taking it for granted. 1014 00:53:26,107 --> 00:53:30,547 Speaker 16: And also again back to the consistency thing is that's 1015 00:53:30,627 --> 00:53:32,667 Speaker 16: kind of what you want to show, is that there's 1016 00:53:32,667 --> 00:53:35,027 Speaker 16: no guarantees in football. In week to week things can 1017 00:53:35,107 --> 00:53:38,107 Speaker 16: change so quickly. So now it would just be obviously 1018 00:53:38,187 --> 00:53:41,667 Speaker 16: stoked to be included and looking forward to hopefully contributing 1019 00:53:41,667 --> 00:53:44,187 Speaker 16: a bit more on this tour and sharing the dressing 1020 00:53:44,267 --> 00:53:46,347 Speaker 16: room with some of the great players we have with 1021 00:53:46,387 --> 00:53:48,507 Speaker 16: you your ways, but the big focus will be on 1022 00:53:48,627 --> 00:53:52,107 Speaker 16: staying consistent throughout the season and being able to play 1023 00:53:52,107 --> 00:53:53,067 Speaker 16: a role where I can. 1024 00:53:53,587 --> 00:53:55,707 Speaker 2: And just to finish, you know, eighteen months ago you 1025 00:53:55,747 --> 00:53:58,027 Speaker 2: hadn't signed for Auckland FC. You didn't have a club. 1026 00:53:58,067 --> 00:54:00,467 Speaker 2: I'm sure you had irons in the fire, Auckland FC 1027 00:54:00,667 --> 00:54:03,507 Speaker 2: being one of them. But to the last eighteen months 1028 00:54:03,707 --> 00:54:06,547 Speaker 2: or how do the last eighteen months feel for you? 1029 00:54:07,867 --> 00:54:11,827 Speaker 16: They feel, they feel good. It's a lot of emotions 1030 00:54:11,867 --> 00:54:14,427 Speaker 16: with the last eighteen months. It's hard to describe, but 1031 00:54:15,147 --> 00:54:19,547 Speaker 16: I think it's something that I knew internally. 1032 00:54:19,067 --> 00:54:19,987 Speaker 9: I was capable of. 1033 00:54:20,067 --> 00:54:22,347 Speaker 16: But of course you have to have other people believing 1034 00:54:22,347 --> 00:54:25,427 Speaker 16: in you too, and and you know, my partner at home, LUSA. 1035 00:54:25,347 --> 00:54:27,027 Speaker 19: Was was always like that. 1036 00:54:26,987 --> 00:54:30,747 Speaker 16: Ever since we left Sweden and gave up professional football there, 1037 00:54:30,787 --> 00:54:32,227 Speaker 16: like she's been a massive support to me. 1038 00:54:32,307 --> 00:54:33,067 Speaker 14: And then to have. 1039 00:54:33,307 --> 00:54:36,547 Speaker 16: Orkanically start up with all the people involved has been 1040 00:54:36,587 --> 00:54:40,427 Speaker 16: pretty special to to just see what everyone here is 1041 00:54:40,427 --> 00:54:43,867 Speaker 16: capable of. Like I know, like my story is an 1042 00:54:43,867 --> 00:54:46,547 Speaker 16: obvious one with playing for Suburbs and then coming here 1043 00:54:46,867 --> 00:54:49,787 Speaker 16: from amateur to professional, but there's a few other boys, 1044 00:54:49,827 --> 00:54:54,307 Speaker 16: like for example, Missy Randall similar situation. He's now expelling 1045 00:54:54,347 --> 00:54:57,107 Speaker 16: for US and has been great when he's been doing 1046 00:54:57,147 --> 00:54:59,147 Speaker 16: the new zone set up as well. So it's just 1047 00:54:59,187 --> 00:55:02,027 Speaker 16: a great pathway for New Zealand players and I guess 1048 00:55:02,067 --> 00:55:03,067 Speaker 16: that's what this weekend is. 1049 00:55:02,987 --> 00:55:03,627 Speaker 2: All about as well. 1050 00:55:03,627 --> 00:55:07,267 Speaker 16: Hopefully there'll be lots of young kids watching and regardless 1051 00:55:07,307 --> 00:55:09,627 Speaker 16: of who they support, seeing that there is a passway 1052 00:55:09,667 --> 00:55:12,227 Speaker 16: for young new zeone players now and they could be 1053 00:55:12,267 --> 00:55:13,187 Speaker 16: part of that in the future. 1054 00:55:13,467 --> 00:55:16,747 Speaker 2: Absolutely always love chatting football with your Francis or the 1055 00:55:16,747 --> 00:55:18,867 Speaker 2: best in the derby tonight, mate, Thanks for taking the time. 1056 00:55:19,387 --> 00:55:20,107 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. 1057 00:55:20,147 --> 00:55:20,387 Speaker 6: Mate. 1058 00:55:21,387 --> 00:55:22,707 Speaker 16: Entro the conversation, thank. 1059 00:55:22,547 --> 00:55:24,467 Speaker 2: You very much, No, thank you for joining us Francis. 1060 00:55:24,507 --> 00:55:27,227 Speaker 2: Francis Devverice there out of the Auckland FC camp.

He's been incredible, you know, I mean a 1062 00:55:30,707 --> 00:55:34,187 Speaker 2: year and a half ago, a lot of sports fans 1063 00:55:34,307 --> 00:55:37,107 Speaker 2: and even some football fans weren't really they're aware of 1064 00:55:37,147 --> 00:55:39,787 Speaker 2: Francis Devericse. But what a season last year and he 1065 00:55:39,827 --> 00:55:42,507 Speaker 2: started again in the same way dropped that ball on 1066 00:55:42,547 --> 00:55:45,027 Speaker 2: the head of Sam Cosgrove last week for the opening 1067 00:55:45,067 --> 00:55:47,667 Speaker 2: goal against Adelaide United. Here'll be a threat up and 1068 00:55:47,707 --> 00:55:51,507 Speaker 2: down the left hand side again at Sky Stadium this evening. 1069 00:55:52,027 --> 00:55:56,827 Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty ten eighty Phoenix fans, how are 1070 00:55:56,867 --> 00:56:00,827 Speaker 2: you feeling about your side's ability to break this Auckland 1071 00:56:00,867 --> 00:56:05,547 Speaker 2: FC derby domination. It was slim pickings last year. Just 1072 00:56:05,667 --> 00:56:09,027 Speaker 2: two goals in what two hundred and seventy minutes? WHI 1073 00:56:09,027 --> 00:56:11,267 Speaker 2: it's that four and a half hours, two goals and 1074 00:56:11,307 --> 00:56:13,907 Speaker 2: four and a half hours of football against Auckland f 1075 00:56:13,987 --> 00:56:18,867 Speaker 2: C last season, three straight defeats they scored Auckland f C. 1076 00:56:19,027 --> 00:56:23,627 Speaker 2: That is ten goals in your net, Phoenix fans.

A lot of 1089 00:57:02,827 --> 00:57:05,587 Speaker 2: strange looks when we're out in public this morning. I'm 1090 00:57:05,627 --> 00:57:08,227 Speaker 2: picking a Phoenix three to one win with a late 1091 00:57:08,267 --> 00:57:11,027 Speaker 2: goal on the counter to sell it. Thank you Paul 1092 00:57:12,227 --> 00:57:15,667 Speaker 2: text here. Please tell Francis that watching him play is 1093 00:57:15,787 --> 00:57:19,187 Speaker 2: a real treat. Our family thinks he is an awesome player, 1094 00:57:19,227 --> 00:57:22,587 Speaker 2: one of a kind. Yeah, you're right there. And from 1095 00:57:22,667 --> 00:57:24,787 Speaker 2: Vicky Jason. I love the signings the Phoenix have made, 1096 00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:27,747 Speaker 2: especially upfront. I think they might have the edge over 1097 00:57:27,787 --> 00:57:29,867 Speaker 2: Auckland this season. Can't wait to watch the game tonight. 1098 00:57:30,267 --> 00:57:34,627 Speaker 2: Also absolutely pumped to watch the Phoenix women. Apparently Bev 1099 00:57:34,707 --> 00:57:37,827 Speaker 2: Priestman has done a brilliant job. They're fit, which is 1100 00:57:37,827 --> 00:57:40,187 Speaker 2: the key to success, so bring it on. I was 1101 00:57:40,227 --> 00:57:43,147 Speaker 2: in and around the final training session for the Wellington 1102 00:57:43,147 --> 00:57:46,627 Speaker 2: Phoenix Women yesterday just before they did their media and 1103 00:57:48,547 --> 00:57:52,747 Speaker 2: it was a vibe. There was a buzz around that team. 1104 00:57:53,907 --> 00:57:56,507 Speaker 2: Beef Priestman has come in and we all know the backstory, don't. 1105 00:57:56,507 --> 00:57:59,667 Speaker 2: We have Beef Priestman, but she is a high quality, 1106 00:58:00,227 --> 00:58:05,307 Speaker 2: highly credentialed football coach and she has got that team fizzing. 1107 00:58:05,987 --> 00:58:11,467 Speaker 2: That weremen's team. They've made some terrific signings, both current 1108 00:58:11,467 --> 00:58:17,787 Speaker 2: football ferns, some really impressive imports. They look the real deal. 1109 00:58:18,307 --> 00:58:20,547 Speaker 2: Of course, you've got to put it out on the grass. 1110 00:58:21,267 --> 00:58:26,147 Speaker 2: But they have been building nicely and this afternoon at 1111 00:58:26,147 --> 00:58:30,347 Speaker 2: four o'clock they get their first crack against Canberra United. 1112 00:58:30,427 --> 00:58:34,267 Speaker 2: So Camber United against the Phoenix women at four, Wellington 1113 00:58:34,307 --> 00:58:41,947 Speaker 2: Phoenix men against Auckland FC at seven tonight. Brilliant sports 1114 00:58:42,027 --> 00:58:46,147 Speaker 2: leader that footballer from Auckland FC says this text. He 1115 00:58:46,227 --> 00:58:50,067 Speaker 2: spoke awesomely inspiring even for a fifty one year old 1116 00:58:50,107 --> 00:58:54,107 Speaker 2: single dad trying to get fits. Francis de Reese is 1117 00:58:54,107 --> 00:58:57,627 Speaker 2: a special guy, really quite a special human being. He's 1118 00:58:57,627 --> 00:58:59,507 Speaker 2: been through a lot. It has not been a straight 1119 00:58:59,587 --> 00:59:03,507 Speaker 2: line for Francis of Reese in terms of his football career. 1120 00:59:04,867 --> 00:59:08,427 Speaker 2: He made the national team at a reasonably early age 1121 00:59:08,467 --> 00:59:10,027 Speaker 2: and it all looked like it was going well. Then 1122 00:59:10,027 --> 00:59:12,627 Speaker 2: he went and played in Europe and ended up sort 1123 00:59:12,667 --> 00:59:14,227 Speaker 2: of down the legs a little bit. Then did his 1124 00:59:14,347 --> 00:59:17,587 Speaker 2: ACL didn't have a club. As I understand it, I 1125 00:59:17,627 --> 00:59:20,947 Speaker 2: think I might have told this story before he offered 1126 00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:23,227 Speaker 2: himself to Wellington Phoenix a couple of years ago. He 1127 00:59:23,307 --> 00:59:26,147 Speaker 2: was looking to play professionally before Auckland f C came 1128 00:59:26,187 --> 00:59:28,867 Speaker 2: on the scene, and at that time Wellington Phoenix said no. 1129 00:59:28,947 --> 00:59:31,067 Speaker 2: Note we're okay in your position, thanks for the offer, 1130 00:59:31,107 --> 00:59:33,427 Speaker 2: but we're okay. So he was at the point where 1131 00:59:33,427 --> 00:59:34,987 Speaker 2: he was going to play amateur football, just going to 1132 00:59:34,987 --> 00:59:36,987 Speaker 2: play club stuff and probably do a normal job like 1133 00:59:37,027 --> 00:59:40,267 Speaker 2: the rest of us. But then Auckland f C were formed. 1134 00:59:41,067 --> 00:59:44,667 Speaker 2: Francis Devreze was one of the first players that they signed, 1135 00:59:45,307 --> 00:59:47,427 Speaker 2: and here he is having started every single one of 1136 00:59:47,467 --> 00:59:50,067 Speaker 2: their games, the only player to have done that, and 1137 00:59:50,107 --> 00:59:53,267 Speaker 2: now a pretty rusted on member of the All Whites 1138 00:59:53,947 --> 00:59:56,947 Speaker 2: and pretty much a shwin to be on the plane 1139 00:59:56,947 --> 00:59:58,707 Speaker 2: to the World Cup next year. It's funny how things 1140 00:59:58,707 --> 01:00:01,507 Speaker 2: can change.

What a guy. Yeah, you're right, Robert, 1168 01:01:23,907 --> 01:01:26,827 Speaker 2: there are a few injuries and terrible news yesterday for 1169 01:01:26,907 --> 01:01:30,307 Speaker 2: Phoenix fans that Hadeki is Shiga, one of their Japanese imports, 1170 01:01:30,347 --> 01:01:32,707 Speaker 2: is out for the season with an ac L injury 1171 01:01:32,747 --> 01:01:34,947 Speaker 2: he suffered last week. He came off early in the 1172 01:01:34,947 --> 01:01:38,267 Speaker 2: game against the Mariners last week and you never really sure, 1173 01:01:38,267 --> 01:01:40,267 Speaker 2: are you when a player comes off. But scans have 1174 01:01:40,387 --> 01:01:45,227 Speaker 2: revealed that Herdeki Ashiga has an ACL injury, and we 1175 01:01:45,307 --> 01:01:47,587 Speaker 2: know how bad they are. He is out for the season. 1176 01:01:48,267 --> 01:01:51,587 Speaker 2: He is only on a contract for this current season ahead, 1177 01:01:51,707 --> 01:01:54,107 Speaker 2: so who knows, we may have seen the last of 1178 01:01:54,147 --> 01:01:56,907 Speaker 2: Adeki Ashiga in a Phoenix shirt, depending on what the 1179 01:01:56,907 --> 01:02:00,787 Speaker 2: club decides at the end of this season. But yeah, 1180 01:02:00,827 --> 01:02:02,907 Speaker 2: thoughts with Adeki Ashiga and he is a big loss. 1181 01:02:02,947 --> 01:02:05,227 Speaker 2: Tim Payne as well, the all Whites fall back not 1182 01:02:05,267 --> 01:02:07,547 Speaker 2: there man Draker James the center back and a few 1183 01:02:07,547 --> 01:02:09,787 Speaker 2: others as well. So your injuries haven't help. But then 1184 01:02:09,827 --> 01:02:12,067 Speaker 2: on the other side of the coin, you look across 1185 01:02:12,107 --> 01:02:15,467 Speaker 2: at Auckland FC and as we just mentioned with Francis Devrees, 1186 01:02:15,907 --> 01:02:19,307 Speaker 2: one of their most important players, their captain, Hiroki Sarkai, 1187 01:02:19,387 --> 01:02:22,587 Speaker 2: the Japanese international it's been to three World Cups, was 1188 01:02:22,667 --> 01:02:26,547 Speaker 2: probably their best player last year. He's out for six 1189 01:02:26,587 --> 01:02:29,547 Speaker 2: weeks with a hamstring injury. So injuries are a fact 1190 01:02:29,587 --> 01:02:32,187 Speaker 2: of life when it comes to top level sport. I'm 1191 01:02:32,187 --> 01:02:34,707 Speaker 2: not telling you anything you don't already know with that 1192 01:02:35,027 --> 01:02:37,787 Speaker 2: in that regard, so you just got to deal with them. 1193 01:02:38,267 --> 01:02:40,347 Speaker 2: You just have to deal with them. Let's get you 1194 01:02:40,387 --> 01:02:42,467 Speaker 2: inside the Phoenix camp. Had the chance yesterday to chat 1195 01:02:42,507 --> 01:02:46,387 Speaker 2: to Lucas Kelly Healed, one of the young defensive brigade 1196 01:02:46,427 --> 01:02:50,347 Speaker 2: in the Phoenix squad. Asked him if Darby week was 1197 01:02:50,347 --> 01:02:53,667 Speaker 2: a bit different from a normal week given the enormity 1198 01:02:53,707 --> 01:02:55,547 Speaker 2: of the game at the end of the week. 1199 01:02:56,507 --> 01:02:59,907 Speaker 20: Yeah, somewhat. I think we try and treat every game 1200 01:02:59,987 --> 01:03:03,627 Speaker 20: exactly the same. Been two teams from same country. It 1201 01:03:03,667 --> 01:03:06,107 Speaker 20: definitely you can kind of feel that there's a bit 1202 01:03:06,147 --> 01:03:10,747 Speaker 20: of added external pressure. We don't really buy into all that, 1203 01:03:10,787 --> 01:03:12,187 Speaker 20: you know. We try and do what we do we 1204 01:03:12,227 --> 01:03:14,627 Speaker 20: can week out, regardless of who we're playing against. But 1205 01:03:14,867 --> 01:03:15,987 Speaker 20: it'll be an exciting game. 1206 01:03:16,467 --> 01:03:19,067 Speaker 2: You only played i think second half or first half 1207 01:03:19,107 --> 01:03:21,147 Speaker 2: of the third Derby last year, so it's not as 1208 01:03:21,187 --> 01:03:24,067 Speaker 2: though you played all three. But is it easy or 1209 01:03:24,147 --> 01:03:27,027 Speaker 2: not to put last year behind this team? You know 1210 01:03:27,067 --> 01:03:30,267 Speaker 2: the three losses and start are fresh in terms of 1211 01:03:30,267 --> 01:03:30,747 Speaker 2: the derbies. 1212 01:03:31,347 --> 01:03:33,947 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it's definitely going into a new season. 1213 01:03:33,947 --> 01:03:36,347 Speaker 20: It's a fresh start. You know, we've got a new team, 1214 01:03:36,387 --> 01:03:39,067 Speaker 20: We've got we've got some some fresh faces and I 1215 01:03:39,107 --> 01:03:41,627 Speaker 20: think we all came back from the offseason refreshed and 1216 01:03:41,987 --> 01:03:45,307 Speaker 20: ready to work hard. So we go into each game 1217 01:03:45,867 --> 01:03:48,427 Speaker 20: the same and where we're really looking forward. 1218 01:03:48,227 --> 01:03:50,987 Speaker 2: To unbeaten started the season. How do you evaluate it 1219 01:03:51,027 --> 01:03:53,267 Speaker 2: as a playing group? How happy other players with the 1220 01:03:53,307 --> 01:03:55,147 Speaker 2: first three outings this season? 1221 01:03:55,507 --> 01:03:57,267 Speaker 20: Yeah, No, it's been a it's been a good start. 1222 01:03:58,387 --> 01:04:01,987 Speaker 20: Getting been undefeated in the first three is is a 1223 01:04:02,547 --> 01:04:04,427 Speaker 20: not an easy thing to do. So now we need 1224 01:04:04,467 --> 01:04:06,947 Speaker 20: to start trying to turn those those draw into wins 1225 01:04:06,987 --> 01:04:08,347 Speaker 20: and hopefully we can take it from there. 1226 01:04:08,667 --> 01:04:11,307 Speaker 2: Tell us about game one against Perth where you'd just 1227 01:04:11,347 --> 01:04:13,907 Speaker 2: come back from the All Whites and I think Isaac 1228 01:04:14,027 --> 01:04:16,267 Speaker 2: Hues was ruled out quite close to the start of 1229 01:04:16,347 --> 01:04:19,787 Speaker 2: the game and you came in out challenging a transition 1230 01:04:19,827 --> 01:04:22,267 Speaker 2: I guess into a new system. Was that for you? 1231 01:04:23,147 --> 01:04:26,027 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean we had worked on it in pre 1232 01:04:26,107 --> 01:04:28,707 Speaker 20: season then obviously went away with under twenty years and 1233 01:04:28,747 --> 01:04:32,227 Speaker 20: with the national team, so they had been working together 1234 01:04:32,267 --> 01:04:35,027 Speaker 20: for a few weeks while I was away, so there 1235 01:04:35,067 --> 01:04:38,187 Speaker 20: was a little bit of a learning curve going into 1236 01:04:38,187 --> 01:04:41,707 Speaker 20: the game. It was a bit of a tight turnaround 1237 01:04:41,747 --> 01:04:46,347 Speaker 20: got in pretty close to the game. But there's no excuses, 1238 01:04:46,347 --> 01:04:47,907 Speaker 20: you know, we just need to try and perform as 1239 01:04:47,947 --> 01:04:49,187 Speaker 20: best as we can and we try and give us 1240 01:04:49,227 --> 01:04:50,347 Speaker 20: out as the best possibility. 1241 01:04:51,067 --> 01:04:52,507 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of talk about the high line, 1242 01:04:52,507 --> 01:04:54,067 Speaker 2: but it seems to have been sorted out. I mean, 1243 01:04:54,227 --> 01:04:56,307 Speaker 2: there was that first half against Perth and you know, 1244 01:04:56,347 --> 01:04:59,387 Speaker 2: you feel your way, but the principles of the way 1245 01:04:59,427 --> 01:05:02,307 Speaker 2: you played defensively are they embedded? Now you pretty much 1246 01:05:02,307 --> 01:05:04,587 Speaker 2: know what you're doing, you know, from game situation to 1247 01:05:04,627 --> 01:05:05,307 Speaker 2: game situation. 1248 01:05:05,867 --> 01:05:09,467 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it's showing every week where we're getting 1249 01:05:09,467 --> 01:05:14,427 Speaker 20: better and better and those learning curves are starting to 1250 01:05:14,667 --> 01:05:17,867 Speaker 20: narrow and we're starting to feel more comfortable in those roles. 1251 01:05:17,867 --> 01:05:20,547 Speaker 20: And now that the league has started and we're playing 1252 01:05:20,587 --> 01:05:23,347 Speaker 20: every week, it's a great opportunity to test ourselves and 1253 01:05:23,787 --> 01:05:27,267 Speaker 20: learn from our challenges and get better. 1254 01:05:27,507 --> 01:05:29,107 Speaker 2: How different is it for you because we're seeing you 1255 01:05:29,147 --> 01:05:30,947 Speaker 2: mainly on the left side of a back four, also 1256 01:05:30,987 --> 01:05:34,907 Speaker 2: in the six, but defensively. What are the specific changes 1257 01:05:34,907 --> 01:05:36,507 Speaker 2: playing as part of a back three. 1258 01:05:37,027 --> 01:05:39,627 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think you have to think a bit more 1259 01:05:39,667 --> 01:05:45,427 Speaker 20: conservatively at times when as a central player as opposed 1260 01:05:45,427 --> 01:05:48,867 Speaker 20: to playing out wide, But a lot of the roles 1261 01:05:48,907 --> 01:05:53,227 Speaker 20: and responsibilities are still the same. Just about winning your moments, 1262 01:05:53,267 --> 01:05:56,587 Speaker 20: winning your battles and then giving it to the ones 1263 01:05:56,587 --> 01:05:58,587 Speaker 20: in front of you to hopefully make something happen. 1264 01:05:58,987 --> 01:06:02,387 Speaker 2: Communication Wise, you know, there's no man Draker James this weekend. 1265 01:06:02,467 --> 01:06:04,707 Speaker 2: Good Isaac Hughes and Matt Sheridan who I know you 1266 01:06:04,747 --> 01:06:07,307 Speaker 2: know well, and then Josh behind you. How important is 1267 01:06:07,347 --> 01:06:10,987 Speaker 2: the communication, especially in a Newish system. 1268 01:06:11,227 --> 01:06:14,027 Speaker 20: Yeah, no, it's hugely important, I think, especially with the 1269 01:06:14,027 --> 01:06:17,987 Speaker 20: way we're playing. Communications key, you know. I think that's 1270 01:06:18,027 --> 01:06:20,467 Speaker 20: something we've been trying to drive all for the last 1271 01:06:20,627 --> 01:06:23,707 Speaker 20: few months as we've been working on it. And like 1272 01:06:23,787 --> 01:06:25,267 Speaker 20: I look along the back line and there's some real 1273 01:06:25,387 --> 01:06:28,547 Speaker 20: vocal people like Isaac and Matt Shirt and very vocal. 1274 01:06:28,627 --> 01:06:30,467 Speaker 20: So it's been really good. 1275 01:06:30,747 --> 01:06:32,267 Speaker 2: Is that something that you know? I mean, you don't 1276 01:06:32,307 --> 01:06:33,987 Speaker 2: strike me and I might be completely wrong here as 1277 01:06:33,987 --> 01:06:37,427 Speaker 2: a really vocal football player. Do you are you sort 1278 01:06:37,427 --> 01:06:39,827 Speaker 2: of changing in any regard or you just let those 1279 01:06:39,827 --> 01:06:41,387 Speaker 2: guys do most of the talking. 1280 01:06:41,867 --> 01:06:45,627 Speaker 20: No, I'm definitely vocal. I try to be. I'm not 1281 01:06:45,667 --> 01:06:47,867 Speaker 20: the one to yell and scream at you, but I 1282 01:06:47,947 --> 01:06:51,147 Speaker 20: will try and be concise and direct with my communication. 1283 01:06:51,307 --> 01:06:55,347 Speaker 20: I'll let those around me know what needs to be done. 1284 01:06:55,987 --> 01:06:58,027 Speaker 20: But you won't see me yelling my head off at 1285 01:06:58,027 --> 01:07:01,267 Speaker 20: anyone around me, you know. So it's a different, i think, 1286 01:07:01,307 --> 01:07:04,227 Speaker 20: more composed style of communication, but I think it works 1287 01:07:04,227 --> 01:07:04,427 Speaker 20: for me. 1288 01:07:04,587 --> 01:07:08,987 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely know. It's a great quality. How different a 1289 01:07:09,027 --> 01:07:12,067 Speaker 2: player are you from the Lucas Kelly Hill that joined 1290 01:07:12,067 --> 01:07:13,307 Speaker 2: the Phoenix a couple of years ago? 1291 01:07:14,067 --> 01:07:16,987 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think every year I've grown as a player. 1292 01:07:17,187 --> 01:07:21,747 Speaker 20: I think from I think three years ago now or 1293 01:07:21,787 --> 01:07:23,667 Speaker 20: as my going into my third season, I think a 1294 01:07:23,707 --> 01:07:27,747 Speaker 20: lot has changed and I have found myself growing into 1295 01:07:28,147 --> 01:07:31,507 Speaker 20: myself as a person and as a player, and every 1296 01:07:31,547 --> 01:07:35,147 Speaker 20: week poses new challenges and new opportunities, and I've enjoyed 1297 01:07:35,147 --> 01:07:35,827 Speaker 20: every minute. 1298 01:07:36,107 --> 01:07:39,187 Speaker 2: And your involvement of the national team, have you. Have 1299 01:07:39,267 --> 01:07:41,907 Speaker 2: you found your experiences being in and around the All 1300 01:07:41,947 --> 01:07:42,467 Speaker 2: Whites camp? 1301 01:07:42,787 --> 01:07:46,827 Speaker 20: Yeah, unbelievable. I always love going into that environment. They're 1302 01:07:46,867 --> 01:07:50,187 Speaker 20: all such great players, but more importantly, they're all great people. 1303 01:07:50,427 --> 01:07:52,987 Speaker 20: I get on well with everyone that I come into 1304 01:07:53,027 --> 01:07:56,147 Speaker 20: contact with there and I try and take away as 1305 01:07:56,147 --> 01:07:58,467 Speaker 20: many learnings as I possibly can, and. 1306 01:07:58,507 --> 01:08:00,547 Speaker 2: Just back to this week to finish. Is there any 1307 01:08:00,627 --> 01:08:03,307 Speaker 2: danger that you played the game before the game, if 1308 01:08:03,307 --> 01:08:05,507 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's a big occasion to Derby, 1309 01:08:05,547 --> 01:08:08,587 Speaker 2: big crowd coming.

You know, 1313 01:08:15,027 --> 01:08:18,027 Speaker 20: it's an important game, but it's the same game as 1314 01:08:18,067 --> 01:08:21,507 Speaker 20: every other week. It's you know, both teams are trying 1315 01:08:21,547 --> 01:08:23,587 Speaker 20: to win win the same game and that should be 1316 01:08:23,627 --> 01:08:26,307 Speaker 20: how it is every single week. So we just need 1317 01:08:26,347 --> 01:08:28,187 Speaker 20: to keep doing what we've been doing and do it 1318 01:08:28,227 --> 01:08:30,947 Speaker 20: at at a high level and then hopefully the result 1319 01:08:31,027 --> 01:08:31,467 Speaker 20: comes our a. 1320 01:08:31,747 --> 01:08:33,227 Speaker 2: Be good time to score your first day leg. 1321 01:08:33,187 --> 01:08:35,227 Speaker 20: Goal, It would be it definitely would be. 1322 01:08:36,067 --> 01:08:37,547 Speaker 2: Just would in your brother too, haven't seen him the 1323 01:08:37,587 --> 01:08:41,387 Speaker 2: year he's coming back albe your goalkeeper brother.

It's been a 1337 01:09:18,587 --> 01:09:22,347 Speaker 2: long time coming. The off season is very very long 1338 01:09:22,387 --> 01:09:25,187 Speaker 2: in the A League. So CJ bot first of all, 1339 01:09:25,227 --> 01:09:29,627 Speaker 2: whether they were actually ready now to get on the field, Yeah. 1340 01:09:29,387 --> 01:09:30,027 Speaker 21: Really, really good. 1341 01:09:30,067 --> 01:09:32,427 Speaker 22: It has been a very long preseason, but we're very 1342 01:09:32,427 --> 01:09:34,867 Speaker 22: grateful for it.

There's a lot of expectation 1346 01:09:40,947 --> 01:09:43,667 Speaker 2: around this team. Is that in any way a burden 1347 01:09:43,827 --> 01:09:45,187 Speaker 2: on the shoulders of the playoffs? 1348 01:09:45,427 --> 01:09:48,227 Speaker 22: No, No, absolutely not. I think it's definitely feeding the 1349 01:09:48,267 --> 01:09:50,587 Speaker 22: motivation because we know we have a point to prove, 1350 01:09:50,707 --> 01:09:53,067 Speaker 22: but we also know we're capable of and we've just 1351 01:09:53,147 --> 01:09:53,827 Speaker 22: got belief in that. 1352 01:09:54,347 --> 01:09:56,227 Speaker 2: And in terms of not getting too carried away, you 1353 01:09:56,267 --> 01:09:58,067 Speaker 2: had to watch everyone else get underway last week you 1354 01:09:58,107 --> 01:10:01,667 Speaker 2: had to buy. Is there any danger of the occasion 1355 01:10:02,347 --> 01:10:04,707 Speaker 2: getting too big for you and playing the game before 1356 01:10:04,747 --> 01:10:05,107 Speaker 2: the game? 1357 01:10:05,347 --> 01:10:06,067 Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. 1358 01:10:06,107 --> 01:10:06,467 Speaker 6: I think think. 1359 01:10:06,547 --> 01:10:08,387 Speaker 22: Like I said earlier, we know what we're capable of. 1360 01:10:08,427 --> 01:10:10,627 Speaker 22: We've got a very firm game plan. We all know 1361 01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:13,107 Speaker 22: our roles and like I said, we're excited and we're 1362 01:10:13,107 --> 01:10:15,027 Speaker 22: ready to go. But yeah, the occasion's got nothing to 1363 01:10:15,067 --> 01:10:15,387 Speaker 22: do with it. 1364 01:10:16,107 --> 01:10:18,027 Speaker 2: Are you up for media today because you're the captain 1365 01:10:18,067 --> 01:10:22,427 Speaker 2: of the team that's been about for I don't know tomorrow. 1366 01:10:22,467 --> 01:10:23,027 Speaker 11: I am to Murra. 1367 01:10:23,107 --> 01:10:26,547 Speaker 2: Yeah, one congratulate, thank you.

Has been overseas for a long time, but 1374 01:10:43,187 --> 01:10:45,667 Speaker 2: back in her hometown Club and no doubt proud to 1375 01:10:45,747 --> 01:10:49,507 Speaker 2: lead her team out onto Sky Stadium this afternoon, twenty 1376 01:10:49,547 --> 01:10:51,547 Speaker 2: one away from two.

Brad Schuleman, the opener, has brought up 1382 01:11:05,307 --> 01:11:08,347 Speaker 2: one hundred. He's one hundred twelve not out. Dane Cleaver 1383 01:11:08,507 --> 01:11:10,627 Speaker 2: has just come to the wicket as well, but CD 1384 01:11:10,867 --> 01:11:13,227 Speaker 2: racking up a big score with seven overs ago two 1385 01:11:13,347 --> 01:11:16,827 Speaker 2: seventy three for three set in Park and Hamilton Northern 1386 01:11:16,907 --> 01:11:18,987 Speaker 2: struggling just a little bit in the forty eighth over 1387 01:11:19,307 --> 01:11:22,067 Speaker 2: one eighty eight for eight one hundred and eighty eight 1388 01:11:22,267 --> 01:11:25,267 Speaker 2: for eight batting first against Canterbury and at the Basin 1389 01:11:25,347 --> 01:11:28,307 Speaker 2: Reserve it is the visitor's Otago and the forty sixth 1390 01:11:28,347 --> 01:11:31,507 Speaker 2: over two hundred and three for seven two three for seven. 1391 01:11:31,507 --> 01:11:35,387 Speaker 2: Should have mentioned actually in the Northern innings that Robbie 1392 01:11:35,467 --> 01:11:38,507 Speaker 2: O'Donnell has scored one hundred, one hundred and six of 1393 01:11:38,547 --> 01:11:41,227 Speaker 2: the one hundred and ninety that Northern have scored. So 1394 01:11:41,987 --> 01:11:44,227 Speaker 2: it's a good thing that Captain Robbie O'Donnell is there, 1395 01:11:44,267 --> 01:11:47,187 Speaker 2: otherwise Northern would be in quite the predicament. We'll keep 1396 01:11:47,227 --> 01:11:49,747 Speaker 2: eyes on those games for you as they progress across 1397 01:11:49,787 --> 01:11:53,507 Speaker 2: the afternoon twenty to two in Australian Next with Adam Peacock. 1398 01:11:54,907 --> 01:11:56,147 Speaker 3: You be the TMO. 1399 01:11:56,187 --> 01:11:58,587 Speaker 1: Have your say on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 1400 01:11:58,787 --> 01:12:02,947 Speaker 1: weekends for It with Jason hin and GJ.

How was Cup week? 1408 01:12:25,347 --> 01:12:25,787 Speaker 19: Awesome? 1409 01:12:25,947 --> 01:12:29,307 Speaker 23: Awesome, Pioneer, It was very enjoyable. Of course we've got 1410 01:12:29,307 --> 01:12:31,067 Speaker 23: a good day to day as well, the champions Day, 1411 01:12:31,147 --> 01:12:35,307 Speaker 23: but Darby was fantastic. But meloyn Cup day was. 1412 01:12:35,787 --> 01:12:36,187 Speaker 22: I don't know. 1413 01:12:36,227 --> 01:12:38,987 Speaker 24: AUP a few years ago was going through a few 1414 01:12:39,027 --> 01:12:43,147 Speaker 24: issues with some of the internationals not quite getting through 1415 01:12:43,187 --> 01:12:46,667 Speaker 24: the race, and I thought about a set of own publicity, 1416 01:12:47,787 --> 01:12:50,427 Speaker 24: some of it not very good. But it just feels 1417 01:12:50,467 --> 01:12:54,067 Speaker 24: like they've now decided to kind of reinvigorate it. And 1418 01:12:54,147 --> 01:12:56,827 Speaker 24: it just had a great, great atmosphere there and a 1419 01:12:56,867 --> 01:12:59,107 Speaker 24: fantastic saw. It was the only Australian bread horse in 1420 01:12:59,147 --> 01:13:02,507 Speaker 24: the race and it bolted in half yours with Jamie 1421 01:13:02,507 --> 01:13:04,907 Speaker 24: Mellen becoming the second woman to win a Cup. So yeah, 1422 01:13:04,987 --> 01:13:06,187 Speaker 24: great storylines everywhere. 1423 01:13:06,347 --> 01:13:08,707 Speaker 2: Absolutely yet stopped other nation as well as yours, I 1424 01:13:08,707 --> 01:13:11,307 Speaker 2: can tell you, and my horse ran fourth, you'll be 1425 01:13:11,307 --> 01:13:13,947 Speaker 2: pleased to know. So each way, bit, each way bit 1426 01:13:14,187 --> 01:13:17,947 Speaker 2: was was nearly there, but not quite unfortunately. 1427 01:13:18,667 --> 01:13:19,027 Speaker 19: Yeah. 1428 01:13:19,187 --> 01:13:22,587 Speaker 23: Yeah, it's one of those races where you either look 1429 01:13:22,667 --> 01:13:24,587 Speaker 23: like a genius or you look like an absolute fool. 1430 01:13:24,667 --> 01:13:28,427 Speaker 23: So you fell in the unusual circumstances just somewhere in between. 1431 01:13:28,467 --> 01:13:30,427 Speaker 2: Exactly which I do. I don't mind it. I don't 1432 01:13:30,427 --> 01:13:32,347 Speaker 2: mind it all right. Other matters around on your side 1433 01:13:32,347 --> 01:13:35,027 Speaker 2: of the Tasman Australia have name their team for the Ashes, 1434 01:13:35,067 --> 01:13:37,307 Speaker 2: which starts in a couple of weeks. Pleading have experience 1435 01:13:37,387 --> 01:13:38,987 Speaker 2: not much use. What do you make of it? 1436 01:13:39,947 --> 01:13:44,387 Speaker 24: Yeah, I've gone for whoever's informed, Jack Pether or get 1437 01:13:44,507 --> 01:13:47,107 Speaker 24: in because he scored runs the final last season and Shield. 1438 01:13:47,147 --> 01:13:48,507 Speaker 24: He's got off to a pretty good start. I think 1439 01:13:48,547 --> 01:13:51,467 Speaker 24: he's a second leading run scorer in Sheffield Shield, our 1440 01:13:51,507 --> 01:13:55,787 Speaker 24: domestic competition through three or four matches. Whereas Sam Constace, 1441 01:13:55,787 --> 01:13:59,627 Speaker 24: who was the incumbent, he's just a bit not with 1442 01:13:59,707 --> 01:14:01,947 Speaker 24: it at the moment. Unfortunately Sam, he's still figuring it's 1443 01:14:01,947 --> 01:14:05,107 Speaker 24: a game. Seems twenty he'll be right, like he's got 1444 01:14:05,147 --> 01:14:07,827 Speaker 24: that much talent that he just needs to kind of 1445 01:14:08,027 --> 01:14:10,227 Speaker 24: work out what to do with our talent and how 1446 01:14:10,227 --> 01:14:12,667 Speaker 24: to best utilize it because sometimes he's playing their shots 1447 01:14:12,667 --> 01:14:17,507 Speaker 24: that look attacking and look fearless, but really are they 1448 01:14:17,867 --> 01:14:20,507 Speaker 24: the right shot at the right time. So a lot 1449 01:14:20,547 --> 01:14:22,507 Speaker 24: of good judges in the Australian cricket far better than me, 1450 01:14:22,627 --> 01:14:25,627 Speaker 24: think that he will definitely be back in the Test side. 1451 01:14:25,827 --> 01:14:28,027 Speaker 24: It might be one year, it might be a couple, 1452 01:14:28,067 --> 01:14:30,747 Speaker 24: it might be a few, but he's certainly good enough. 1453 01:14:30,787 --> 01:14:33,987 Speaker 24: But yeah, they've gone for this experienced lineup. And the 1454 01:14:33,987 --> 01:14:36,467 Speaker 24: big question is where Marmas bats Martins labor shame does 1455 01:14:36,467 --> 01:14:38,387 Speaker 24: he bat it? Three, And it all depends on whether 1456 01:14:38,467 --> 01:14:42,147 Speaker 24: Cameron Green can bowl. Now, Cameron Green can bowl, he 1457 01:14:42,307 --> 01:14:46,187 Speaker 24: plays six, bow Webster drops out, Marnus plays three, and 1458 01:14:46,267 --> 01:14:49,907 Speaker 24: whether all it opens Cameron Green can't bowl, Marnus probably opens, 1459 01:14:50,267 --> 01:14:52,907 Speaker 24: Cameron Green goes to three and Bo Webster keeps his 1460 01:14:52,907 --> 01:14:55,147 Speaker 24: spot at six. And that's the big, the big question 1461 01:14:55,227 --> 01:14:57,067 Speaker 24: the mart and I think the bowlers look after itself, 1462 01:14:57,147 --> 01:15:00,187 Speaker 24: look after themselves, and that's the batting one. 1463 01:15:00,347 --> 01:15:03,227 Speaker 2: No, Pat Cummins, what's the prognosis or what are you hearing? 1464 01:15:03,307 --> 01:15:05,507 Speaker 2: Will he play any part in the ashes? 1465 01:15:06,467 --> 01:15:06,827 Speaker 11: Building? 1466 01:15:07,027 --> 01:15:09,667 Speaker 23: Building up? The issue that he's got gone back a 1467 01:15:09,667 --> 01:15:10,067 Speaker 23: few weeks. 1468 01:15:10,107 --> 01:15:10,707 Speaker 9: Of course we've. 1469 01:15:10,547 --> 01:15:13,147 Speaker 24: Discussed it, is that he's got this tiny little hot 1470 01:15:13,147 --> 01:15:17,707 Speaker 24: spot the base of his back. Now you can you 1471 01:15:17,827 --> 01:15:20,227 Speaker 24: can't really just judge it off. Oh look at a 1472 01:15:20,227 --> 01:15:22,867 Speaker 24: scan and he's all better go for it. You've got 1473 01:15:22,867 --> 01:15:24,987 Speaker 24: to kind of build it up, build it up, because 1474 01:15:24,987 --> 01:15:26,707 Speaker 24: the worst thing you can do for a lower back 1475 01:15:27,467 --> 01:15:31,667 Speaker 24: is give it heaps of load while you're twisting. Unfortunately 1476 01:15:31,667 --> 01:15:34,347 Speaker 24: for Pat, he bothers a one hundred and forty ks. 1477 01:15:34,427 --> 01:15:35,587 Speaker 24: Now it does a bit of twisting. 1478 01:15:37,027 --> 01:15:39,427 Speaker 23: He's just got to slowly build up straight line running 1479 01:15:39,507 --> 01:15:42,267 Speaker 23: and then introduce some bowling off a couple of steps 1480 01:15:42,307 --> 01:15:44,467 Speaker 23: and five steps then he's full run up and then 1481 01:15:44,467 --> 01:15:46,907 Speaker 23: he's got to get through it and recover well without 1482 01:15:46,947 --> 01:15:49,787 Speaker 23: the back going can you please not? So at the 1483 01:15:49,827 --> 01:15:52,147 Speaker 23: moment the back hasn't said can you please not? I 1484 01:15:52,187 --> 01:15:54,827 Speaker 23: think he's halfway through that build up period. But he's 1485 01:15:54,867 --> 01:15:57,827 Speaker 23: aiming for the third test, and reports are that he's 1486 01:15:57,867 --> 01:15:59,867 Speaker 23: going so well that it could be second. But got 1487 01:15:59,867 --> 01:16:02,107 Speaker 23: to be really, really careful because the moment it goes 1488 01:16:02,587 --> 01:16:04,027 Speaker 23: six month see ladder. 1489 01:16:04,587 --> 01:16:06,587 Speaker 2: Looking forward to the ashes when they roll around tape, 1490 01:16:06,587 --> 01:16:08,987 Speaker 2: the pet commins can find a way to be involved. 1491 01:16:09,547 --> 01:16:13,627 Speaker 2: Tony Popovich, the Soccero's coach, has named his latest squad 1492 01:16:13,667 --> 01:16:17,067 Speaker 2: for the upcoming window. He continues to surprise, doesn't he 1493 01:16:17,107 --> 01:16:21,267 Speaker 2: an experiment another bunch of unkept players in this latest squad? 1494 01:16:22,107 --> 01:16:22,507 Speaker 25: Yeah? 1495 01:16:22,547 --> 01:16:25,707 Speaker 24: So, I don't know if he's just keeping a whole 1496 01:16:25,747 --> 01:16:28,947 Speaker 24: heap of play like forty of them, keen to give 1497 01:16:29,027 --> 01:16:30,947 Speaker 24: them the sniff that they might be in with the chance, 1498 01:16:31,307 --> 01:16:34,907 Speaker 24: as opposed to like some other European nations like Thomas 1499 01:16:34,907 --> 01:16:37,987 Speaker 24: Turkle and for instance at England squad to squad, he's 1500 01:16:38,027 --> 01:16:40,747 Speaker 24: not changing much he's like building a core, a big 1501 01:16:40,787 --> 01:16:43,507 Speaker 24: core to get to the Low Cup. Where's Tony Polovitch. 1502 01:16:43,547 --> 01:16:46,187 Speaker 24: It feels like he's got a corps about I don't know, 1503 01:16:46,347 --> 01:16:49,107 Speaker 24: thirteen fourteen players, but the rest of the squad, the 1504 01:16:49,147 --> 01:16:51,667 Speaker 24: ten to twelve that he needs to fill, it's just 1505 01:16:51,747 --> 01:16:54,307 Speaker 24: hanging in the breeze. So he's bringing all these players in, 1506 01:16:54,427 --> 01:16:57,267 Speaker 24: like a guy Denny Urich for instance. I forgot he 1507 01:16:57,307 --> 01:17:01,507 Speaker 24: was playing football, but he's scoring goals in Poland. So 1508 01:17:01,907 --> 01:17:04,587 Speaker 24: on Facebook, you're actually on that. He actually probably does 1509 01:17:04,747 --> 01:17:07,747 Speaker 24: deserve a go like Cami Evidence, like ripping it up 1510 01:17:07,747 --> 01:17:09,947 Speaker 24: in Scotland. So he's in the squad, which is good 1511 01:17:09,987 --> 01:17:12,987 Speaker 24: to know. And sure there's a few Nicks fans who'd 1512 01:17:13,027 --> 01:17:16,107 Speaker 24: be happy about that. But yeah, he's just it's really 1513 01:17:16,107 --> 01:17:18,387 Speaker 24: open out like al Hassan Tore. He's played a couple 1514 01:17:18,467 --> 01:17:22,307 Speaker 24: of games in the aleg back. Yeah, it's an interesting 1515 01:17:22,307 --> 01:17:24,027 Speaker 24: way to go about it. But he's having a look 1516 01:17:24,027 --> 01:17:25,667 Speaker 24: at absolutely everyone in can Popper. 1517 01:17:25,907 --> 01:17:28,267 Speaker 2: Yeah it is interesting. I mean Darren basically our all 1518 01:17:28,267 --> 01:17:31,347 Speaker 2: whites coaches very much in the in the settled squad, 1519 01:17:31,507 --> 01:17:34,107 Speaker 2: with just a sprinkling of new faces here and there. 1520 01:17:34,347 --> 01:17:37,187 Speaker 2: The latest squad's name has only got got one new 1521 01:17:37,227 --> 01:17:40,267 Speaker 2: player from memory. So yeah, it's an interesting little balancing act. 1522 01:17:40,267 --> 01:17:42,027 Speaker 2: But what Papa will do, what Papa will do. 1523 01:17:42,947 --> 01:17:45,747 Speaker 24: Papa he used to do this that Wanderers, for instance, 1524 01:17:45,867 --> 01:17:47,227 Speaker 24: Like the way. 1525 01:17:47,107 --> 01:17:49,747 Speaker 23: He'd name his team. He wouldn't name it the day. 1526 01:17:49,587 --> 01:17:51,787 Speaker 24: Before, like to the team I'm talking about, not to 1527 01:17:51,827 --> 01:17:54,347 Speaker 24: ask were at the team shed now before. He'd actually 1528 01:17:54,387 --> 01:17:57,267 Speaker 24: get every single player and squad the rock up with 1529 01:17:57,427 --> 01:18:00,707 Speaker 24: their kid, like all twenty three players or whatever it is, 1530 01:18:01,067 --> 01:18:03,147 Speaker 24: and then put up the team. That's so there's six 1531 01:18:03,267 --> 01:18:05,187 Speaker 24: guys who have rocked up with their boots thinking I 1532 01:18:05,267 --> 01:18:07,307 Speaker 24: might be a chance of playing today, look at the 1533 01:18:07,307 --> 01:18:09,147 Speaker 24: whiteboard and go, oh, I'm not even in the squad 1534 01:18:09,187 --> 01:18:12,387 Speaker 24: of the same my suit. So he does it that way, Popper, 1535 01:18:12,427 --> 01:18:16,227 Speaker 24: he does it his own way, and yeah, the results 1536 01:18:16,227 --> 01:18:18,387 Speaker 24: will kind of speak themselves when we get to America 1537 01:18:18,427 --> 01:18:18,827 Speaker 24: next year. 1538 01:18:18,907 --> 01:18:23,227 Speaker 2: Indeed, and just to finish manly in our religion daily 1539 01:18:23,347 --> 01:18:26,107 Speaker 2: Cherry Evans has moved to the roosters. Has been confirmed. 1540 01:18:26,227 --> 01:18:27,627 Speaker 2: This was expected, wasn't it. 1541 01:18:28,707 --> 01:18:32,867 Speaker 24: Yeah, Sarcasm is the greatest form of comedy in my opinion. 1542 01:18:32,987 --> 01:18:35,667 Speaker 24: Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. So I'll go down 1543 01:18:35,707 --> 01:18:37,987 Speaker 24: this past. This is the biggest shock of the year. Piney, 1544 01:18:38,067 --> 01:18:38,707 Speaker 24: I can't believe it. 1545 01:18:39,307 --> 01:18:43,547 Speaker 23: Jerry Eavens off to the roosters. You could have blow 1546 01:18:43,587 --> 01:18:47,987 Speaker 23: me down with a father yesterday. Absolutely amazing, always going 1547 01:18:48,027 --> 01:18:50,827 Speaker 23: to happen. The only mystery is and Daily will tell 1548 01:18:50,827 --> 01:18:54,507 Speaker 23: his own story eventually about why the twists and turns 1549 01:18:54,507 --> 01:18:58,067 Speaker 23: and why he went down this path. But I guess 1550 01:18:58,067 --> 01:19:01,827 Speaker 23: he wanted to wait until the regular season had kind 1551 01:19:01,827 --> 01:19:04,467 Speaker 23: of blown through and pre season was about to start, 1552 01:19:04,467 --> 01:19:07,587 Speaker 23: and I guess for him, I'll be fascinated to see 1553 01:19:07,627 --> 01:19:07,987 Speaker 23: what he says. 1554 01:19:08,027 --> 01:19:09,867 Speaker 24: Maybe he got to end the last season with Manley 1555 01:19:09,947 --> 01:19:12,827 Speaker 24: and just wanted to give himself a month and then 1556 01:19:12,867 --> 01:19:14,387 Speaker 24: to think, so I really want to go through this 1557 01:19:14,427 --> 01:19:17,507 Speaker 24: again with pre season training. So yeah, it's done, one 1558 01:19:17,547 --> 01:19:19,427 Speaker 24: year deal. Give you good for the Chalks and Manly 1559 01:19:19,467 --> 01:19:21,147 Speaker 24: can move on with life. I've got a new CEO 1560 01:19:21,267 --> 01:19:23,587 Speaker 24: now Manly a next legend and Jason King sob to 1561 01:19:23,667 --> 01:19:25,947 Speaker 24: change there and Karen Ford and coming back as an 1562 01:19:25,987 --> 01:19:27,867 Speaker 24: assistant coach, which is great for the club and all 1563 01:19:27,867 --> 01:19:30,867 Speaker 24: the players are excited. So again, mainly try to find 1564 01:19:30,907 --> 01:19:33,147 Speaker 24: that missing ingredient and hasn't been there. 1565 01:19:32,987 --> 01:19:33,747 Speaker 19: For a few years. 1566 01:19:34,147 --> 01:19:36,587 Speaker 2: Never a shortage of sporting talking points on your side 1567 01:19:36,587 --> 01:19:38,627 Speaker 2: of the Tasman. Adam, thanks as always for joining us, mate. 1568 01:19:38,627 --> 01:19:40,947 Speaker 2: Have a great weekend and we'll catch up again next Saturday. 1569 01:19:41,267 --> 01:19:42,627 Speaker 24: You too, finally enjoy the Derby? 1570 01:19:42,707 --> 01:19:45,107 Speaker 2: Oh certainly well, Adam, don't you worry about that? Thanks indeed, 1571 01:19:45,107 --> 01:19:49,427 Speaker 2: Adam Peacock, our regular Saturday correspondent from across the Tasman 1572 01:19:49,467 --> 01:19:52,947 Speaker 2: bringing us Australian sporting matters. Can't wait for the Ashes. 1573 01:19:53,507 --> 01:19:57,387 Speaker 2: Just love the Ashes. First Test starts on Friday, November 1574 01:19:57,427 --> 01:20:00,427 Speaker 2: the twenty first. So what's that two weeks yesterday Opta 1575 01:20:00,507 --> 01:20:03,107 Speaker 2: Stadium in Perth, the first Test of the Ashes series. 1576 01:20:03,147 --> 01:20:04,787 Speaker 2: I looked at that team that was named during the week, 1577 01:20:05,187 --> 01:20:09,507 Speaker 2: just so experienced, as they say, I think one player 1578 01:20:09,587 --> 01:20:15,147 Speaker 2: under thirty in the Australian Ashes squad. That's very rare, 1579 01:20:15,227 --> 01:20:17,307 Speaker 2: isn't it. You think for a country like Australia, who 1580 01:20:17,307 --> 01:20:20,147 Speaker 2: pride themselves on the depth that they have, that there'd 1581 01:20:20,107 --> 01:20:22,867 Speaker 2: be some youngsters in there. But you know, experience counts 1582 01:20:22,867 --> 01:20:24,867 Speaker 2: for a lot. So yeah, just Cameron Green. I think 1583 01:20:24,907 --> 01:20:28,747 Speaker 2: the only player in that Ossie Ashes squad under the 1584 01:20:28,787 --> 01:20:30,667 Speaker 2: age of thirty, looking forward to the five Test series 1585 01:20:30,667 --> 01:20:32,627 Speaker 2: starting in a couple of weeks. Eight and a half 1586 01:20:32,627 --> 01:20:33,507 Speaker 2: to two New stalks ep. 1587 01:20:35,107 --> 01:20:38,827 Speaker 1: From breaking down the Hail Mary's and the epic fails 1588 01:20:40,387 --> 01:20:44,187 Speaker 1: weekends for it with Jason him new Stalk Zenby. 1589 01:20:44,427 --> 01:20:46,187 Speaker 2: Coming up five to two. Just checking in on the 1590 01:20:46,227 --> 01:20:49,347 Speaker 2: Sal Paulo Grand Prix. Illiam Lawson's made an early exit 1591 01:20:49,387 --> 01:20:52,387 Speaker 2: from qualifying for tomorrow morning sprint race. At the event, 1592 01:20:52,867 --> 01:20:55,667 Speaker 2: he was one of the bottom five drivers eliminated in 1593 01:20:55,707 --> 01:20:59,107 Speaker 2: the first segment. He'll start a lowly seventeenth on the grid. 1594 01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:00,467 Speaker 2: Here are some of his thoughts on that. 1595 01:21:00,787 --> 01:21:04,827 Speaker 13: Well, it was pretty close, so that ultimately words you 1596 01:21:04,907 --> 01:21:06,787 Speaker 13: think you were just lacking to. 1597 01:21:06,707 --> 01:21:07,227 Speaker 14: Not get through. 1598 01:21:08,147 --> 01:21:11,747 Speaker 26: We didn't do a second lap, so first that was okay. 1599 01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:13,427 Speaker 26: I mean the car has been very very quick today, 1600 01:21:13,467 --> 01:21:17,627 Speaker 26: so yeah, we just we came out of the garage 1601 01:21:17,667 --> 01:21:20,667 Speaker 26: for the second run and everyone was slowing down at 1602 01:21:20,707 --> 01:21:23,987 Speaker 26: the pedixit and I ran out of time. Basically, I started, 1603 01:21:24,147 --> 01:21:26,627 Speaker 26: I came across the line right behind ghastly and. 1604 01:21:28,187 --> 01:21:28,787 Speaker 14: All collupens. 1605 01:21:28,827 --> 01:21:31,187 Speaker 26: I don't know who it was, but we just messed 1606 01:21:31,227 --> 01:21:34,027 Speaker 26: up the timing completely, so I don't really know how, 1607 01:21:34,947 --> 01:21:37,827 Speaker 26: but yeah, it basically meant we didn't do a second lap. 1608 01:21:38,107 --> 01:21:40,067 Speaker 6: Was it discussed before hunt to try and leave it 1609 01:21:40,067 --> 01:21:42,107 Speaker 6: as late as possible for optimum conditions. 1610 01:21:42,307 --> 01:21:43,947 Speaker 26: Honestly, I don't even think we left it that late. 1611 01:21:44,027 --> 01:21:46,987 Speaker 26: It's just sometimes people leave big gaps, and also with 1612 01:21:47,107 --> 01:21:49,267 Speaker 26: cars doing cool downs on track, it just you get 1613 01:21:49,307 --> 01:21:51,107 Speaker 26: caught up in it and we just got really bad timing. 1614 01:21:51,947 --> 01:21:54,107 Speaker 26: I'm sure we'll review it. We definitely didn't need to 1615 01:21:54,107 --> 01:21:58,987 Speaker 26: take the risk because, yeah, the car's been very quick, 1616 01:21:59,107 --> 01:22:02,227 Speaker 26: so it's pretty frustrating. 1617 01:22:02,467 --> 01:22:04,747 Speaker 14: How will you use the sprint? You'll try and make 1618 01:22:04,827 --> 01:22:06,307 Speaker 14: up as as money places that you can. 1619 01:22:06,787 --> 01:22:08,707 Speaker 26: Yeah, we've been parked in traffic, so we'll try and 1620 01:22:09,147 --> 01:22:12,747 Speaker 26: learn something that's it's going to be. 1621 01:22:12,747 --> 01:22:16,227 Speaker 2: Something that's a fairly downcast.

So yeah, I think you know it's it's 1770 01:29:57,627 --> 01:30:01,427 Speaker 25: probably underestimated and T twenty cricket how important the partnership 1771 01:30:01,507 --> 01:30:02,027 Speaker 25: actually is. 1772 01:30:02,187 --> 01:30:05,707 Speaker 18: And just communicating with your partner on that yeah, super important. 1773 01:30:05,947 --> 01:30:09,107 Speaker 2: What about coming in mark and pretty much going from 1774 01:30:09,427 --> 01:30:12,027 Speaker 2: ball one? Is there an acquired skill to that to 1775 01:30:12,227 --> 01:30:15,827 Speaker 2: being able to play run scoring strokes pretty much immediately? 1776 01:30:16,827 --> 01:30:17,027 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1777 01:30:17,147 --> 01:30:19,827 Speaker 25: Well, I guess the benefit of sort of not I 1778 01:30:19,947 --> 01:30:22,027 Speaker 25: guess not opening is you get to have a look 1779 01:30:22,067 --> 01:30:25,707 Speaker 25: at you know, what's happening up the top, and then 1780 01:30:26,787 --> 01:30:28,907 Speaker 25: I guess you get a pretty good feel for things 1781 01:30:29,427 --> 01:30:32,747 Speaker 25: straight away, and sometimes you can sort of get the 1782 01:30:32,787 --> 01:30:35,627 Speaker 25: pace of a wicket within a few balls at times, 1783 01:30:35,747 --> 01:30:39,347 Speaker 25: but sometimes it can take a bit longer. So yeah, 1784 01:30:39,387 --> 01:30:41,947 Speaker 25: I guess it's just being really clear on the rests 1785 01:30:41,987 --> 01:30:44,347 Speaker 25: that you take and stacking them in your favor. 1786 01:30:44,907 --> 01:30:47,707 Speaker 2: How much has the way you bat personally and T 1787 01:30:47,907 --> 01:30:51,787 Speaker 2: twenty changed during your now well over a decade playing 1788 01:30:51,827 --> 01:30:52,547 Speaker 2: this form of the game. 1789 01:30:53,707 --> 01:30:58,027 Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I've always tried to have, 1790 01:30:58,347 --> 01:31:02,187 Speaker 25: you know, like a high intent when of that. Yeah, 1791 01:31:02,227 --> 01:31:04,747 Speaker 25: I guess you know, you sort of evolve in your 1792 01:31:04,787 --> 01:31:06,987 Speaker 25: start of play, but it's making sure that you really 1793 01:31:07,027 --> 01:31:10,867 Speaker 25: embrace your strengths and understand, you know, your own individual 1794 01:31:10,947 --> 01:31:11,587 Speaker 25: style of play. 1795 01:31:12,507 --> 01:31:14,427 Speaker 18: I think for me, I've become a lot clearer in 1796 01:31:14,547 --> 01:31:16,707 Speaker 18: that as I've got a little bit older. 1797 01:31:16,787 --> 01:31:20,107 Speaker 25: But I guess you know, these days, you know, scores 1798 01:31:20,107 --> 01:31:21,987 Speaker 25: are a little bit higher, So it's just making sure 1799 01:31:22,067 --> 01:31:26,227 Speaker 25: that you're attacking instincts at the floor when you're playing. 1800 01:31:26,467 --> 01:31:30,107 Speaker 2: Have you found that you have increased your scoring areas 1801 01:31:30,267 --> 01:31:33,107 Speaker 2: or have you just become more efficient than the ones 1802 01:31:33,147 --> 01:31:34,787 Speaker 2: that were good anyway? I mean, for example, does your 1803 01:31:34,867 --> 01:31:38,147 Speaker 2: wagon wheel still look the same as it always did, 1804 01:31:38,307 --> 01:31:40,427 Speaker 2: or are there new places you're scoring runs now? 1805 01:31:43,467 --> 01:31:45,507 Speaker 25: I don't really think so, to be honest, I think 1806 01:31:45,507 --> 01:31:49,307 Speaker 25: it's just it's sticking to your strengths, I guess for 1807 01:31:49,427 --> 01:31:51,707 Speaker 25: me being someone who is probably a little bit smaller 1808 01:31:51,747 --> 01:31:54,867 Speaker 25: in stature, probably slightly slightly more square of the wicket. 1809 01:31:55,787 --> 01:31:57,227 Speaker 14: But I also back myself to. 1810 01:31:57,227 --> 01:31:59,947 Speaker 25: Hit down the ground as well, so you know, I've 1811 01:31:59,947 --> 01:32:01,947 Speaker 25: always had the sort of scoops and things like that 1812 01:32:02,107 --> 01:32:04,987 Speaker 25: as well. So I'll probably call on those less than 1813 01:32:05,027 --> 01:32:07,587 Speaker 25: I used to because of trying to myself with my 1814 01:32:07,707 --> 01:32:08,067 Speaker 25: Plan A. 1815 01:32:08,267 --> 01:32:10,107 Speaker 18: But you've still got to have your Plan B and 1816 01:32:10,187 --> 01:32:11,107 Speaker 18: your Plan C as well. 1817 01:32:11,347 --> 01:32:13,307 Speaker 2: So two o seven the other night at the innings break, 1818 01:32:13,347 --> 01:32:14,267 Speaker 2: did that feel like enough? 1819 01:32:16,787 --> 01:32:18,667 Speaker 25: To be honest, that Eden Park, you never feel like 1820 01:32:18,707 --> 01:32:21,907 Speaker 25: you have enough depend Yeah, no matter no matter how 1821 01:32:21,987 --> 01:32:25,827 Speaker 25: many you get. You know, obviously with some of the dimensions, 1822 01:32:26,067 --> 01:32:29,147 Speaker 25: the chasing team is always in the game. And to 1823 01:32:29,227 --> 01:32:32,587 Speaker 25: be honest, the West Indies batting lineup is pretty deep 1824 01:32:32,667 --> 01:32:34,587 Speaker 25: and as we saw last night, was one of the 1825 01:32:34,627 --> 01:32:37,267 Speaker 25: most explosive and powerful batting lineups and wet of crickets. 1826 01:32:37,347 --> 01:32:40,947 Speaker 18: So you know, even even when they needed ninety runs 1827 01:32:40,987 --> 01:32:41,507 Speaker 18: at three a. 1828 01:32:41,547 --> 01:32:44,747 Speaker 25: Ball, you know, we sort of knew that that they 1829 01:32:44,827 --> 01:32:47,347 Speaker 25: went out of the game just because the power they possessed. 1830 01:32:47,427 --> 01:32:50,627 Speaker 25: So I mean, well, we're well aware of that threat 1831 01:32:50,667 --> 01:32:52,587 Speaker 25: and so we're trying to mitigate that as much as 1832 01:32:52,627 --> 01:32:52,907 Speaker 25: we can. 1833 01:32:53,267 --> 01:32:55,867 Speaker 2: How though, how do you mitigate it? How do you 1834 01:32:55,987 --> 01:32:57,947 Speaker 2: defend a ground like that? 1835 01:32:58,827 --> 01:33:01,507 Speaker 25: Yeah, well, I think I guess it was obvious to 1836 01:33:01,587 --> 01:33:03,827 Speaker 25: see that, you know, if we didn't quite execute our 1837 01:33:03,907 --> 01:33:06,267 Speaker 25: plan that you know, the ball was going to say 1838 01:33:06,467 --> 01:33:09,307 Speaker 25: over the ropes. But I think you know, one thing 1839 01:33:09,387 --> 01:33:11,347 Speaker 25: that the bowlers did amazingly well is that as they 1840 01:33:11,427 --> 01:33:13,947 Speaker 25: tried to stay ahead of the game around not being 1841 01:33:13,987 --> 01:33:18,347 Speaker 25: too predictable with what they bowled. Sometimes if you get 1842 01:33:18,427 --> 01:33:21,307 Speaker 25: set in one plan and and you mess, it's it's 1843 01:33:21,387 --> 01:33:23,267 Speaker 25: just a matter of messing by a few inches and 1844 01:33:23,307 --> 01:33:25,387 Speaker 25: the ball will go over the ropes. So, you know, 1845 01:33:25,467 --> 01:33:27,467 Speaker 25: I guess from from a bowling point of view, it 1846 01:33:27,587 --> 01:33:30,627 Speaker 25: was really encouraging to see how proactive the bowlers were 1847 01:33:30,787 --> 01:33:32,947 Speaker 25: and and you know how they backed themselves. You know, 1848 01:33:33,067 --> 01:33:35,547 Speaker 25: Kyle at the end there it's both three slow balls 1849 01:33:35,787 --> 01:33:38,187 Speaker 25: in a row to close a game out. There's probably 1850 01:33:38,427 --> 01:33:40,787 Speaker 25: something that we don't see that often, but you know, 1851 01:33:40,827 --> 01:33:42,867 Speaker 25: it's amazing to see that he just backed that skill 1852 01:33:42,987 --> 01:33:45,467 Speaker 25: and executed and you know won the game for us. 1853 01:33:45,747 --> 01:33:48,107 Speaker 2: And speaking of backing skills, your skills in the field 1854 01:33:48,307 --> 01:33:51,427 Speaker 2: three catches, one particularly eye catching one and the deep 1855 01:33:51,827 --> 01:33:53,907 Speaker 2: there's fielding something you take pride in in terms of 1856 01:33:53,947 --> 01:33:55,347 Speaker 2: catching but also saving runs. 1857 01:33:56,147 --> 01:33:58,587 Speaker 25: Yeah, well, you know, I guess you know, for us 1858 01:33:58,787 --> 01:34:01,227 Speaker 25: as a team, it's it's a it's a really good 1859 01:34:01,307 --> 01:34:04,587 Speaker 25: metric on how we're going if if we're if we're 1860 01:34:05,187 --> 01:34:07,387 Speaker 25: have energy in the field and you know, and we're 1861 01:34:07,387 --> 01:34:09,747 Speaker 25: throwing ourselves around. Not to say that we're going to 1862 01:34:09,827 --> 01:34:12,507 Speaker 25: take every single chance that presents itself, but you know, 1863 01:34:12,627 --> 01:34:14,747 Speaker 25: more often than not, if we're looking for the ball 1864 01:34:14,867 --> 01:34:17,067 Speaker 25: and trying to be as aggressive as we can in 1865 01:34:17,107 --> 01:34:19,467 Speaker 25: the field, then you know, that's a really good metric 1866 01:34:19,547 --> 01:34:19,907 Speaker 25: for us. 1867 01:34:20,387 --> 01:34:22,587 Speaker 18: As a team. And you know we've been working hard 1868 01:34:22,667 --> 01:34:23,627 Speaker 18: on that behind the scenes. 1869 01:34:23,907 --> 01:34:25,667 Speaker 2: And there's a World Cup not too far away in 1870 01:34:25,707 --> 01:34:29,507 Speaker 2: this format early twenty twenty six. Are you, personally and 1871 01:34:29,627 --> 01:34:32,467 Speaker 2: as a team now building towards that World Cup? Pretty 1872 01:34:32,547 --> 01:34:34,547 Speaker 2: much every time you play a game of T twenty. 1873 01:34:36,147 --> 01:34:38,307 Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean, I guess, you know, people have been 1874 01:34:38,387 --> 01:34:40,867 Speaker 25: mentioning the World Cup, but you know, between now and 1875 01:34:41,547 --> 01:34:43,307 Speaker 25: our first game, we've got a lot of cricket to 1876 01:34:43,347 --> 01:34:43,747 Speaker 25: be played. 1877 01:34:43,827 --> 01:34:46,227 Speaker 18: So to be honest, our focus is firmly here. 1878 01:34:46,347 --> 01:34:49,667 Speaker 25: We've got an exciting series on our hands, you know, 1879 01:34:49,787 --> 01:34:51,947 Speaker 25: one all against the West Indies boys. We've got back 1880 01:34:51,947 --> 01:34:54,707 Speaker 25: to back games here at Nelson and then finish off 1881 01:34:54,747 --> 01:34:57,387 Speaker 25: in Dunedin, so you know that's fairly at the front 1882 01:34:57,427 --> 01:35:00,947 Speaker 25: of our minds. And yeah, we will shift our focus 1883 01:35:01,067 --> 01:35:02,747 Speaker 25: when's appropriate for the World Cup. 1884 01:35:02,987 --> 01:35:06,107 Speaker 2: Yeah, wonderful spot Nelson. I don't think you've played personally, Marke. 1885 01:35:06,347 --> 01:35:07,907 Speaker 2: We have a lot of international cricket there. I think 1886 01:35:08,267 --> 01:35:10,107 Speaker 2: a T twenty in a one day perhaps is all 1887 01:35:10,147 --> 01:35:12,267 Speaker 2: you've you've played there. Looking forward to a couple of 1888 01:35:12,347 --> 01:35:13,587 Speaker 2: games at Saxton's. 1889 01:35:14,267 --> 01:35:18,067 Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a beautiful ground. Yeah, I think we had. 1890 01:35:18,267 --> 01:35:20,947 Speaker 25: I had a T twenty here against Sri Lanka last 1891 01:35:20,987 --> 01:35:23,147 Speaker 25: year and it was a sellout, so you know we're 1892 01:35:23,187 --> 01:35:26,267 Speaker 25: expecting the same. You know, the crowd will really turn 1893 01:35:26,427 --> 01:35:28,987 Speaker 25: up and you know, hopefully they can see some exciting cricket. 1894 01:35:29,067 --> 01:35:30,787 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hope.

But when 1941 01:37:50,227 --> 01:37:52,747 Speaker 2: it goes well, we saw how good he is bang 1942 01:37:52,827 --> 01:37:55,547 Speaker 2: on Dave and I think Mark Chapman often becomes a 1943 01:37:55,627 --> 01:37:57,587 Speaker 2: player who you look at and he gets a couple 1944 01:37:57,587 --> 01:37:59,627 Speaker 2: of low scores and people start questioning his place in 1945 01:37:59,707 --> 01:38:02,787 Speaker 2: the side. He's clearly a terrific T twenty cricketer. Less 1946 01:38:02,867 --> 01:38:06,027 Speaker 2: than one hundred days until SALGP hits Auckland again February 1947 01:38:06,027 --> 01:38:09,307 Speaker 2: fourteen and fifteen.

They'd rather 1952 01:38:20,547 --> 01:38:22,867 Speaker 12: see black walls, but they're going to see green and gold. 1953 01:38:23,267 --> 01:38:24,147 Speaker 3: As they come to the. 1954 01:38:24,227 --> 01:38:27,907 Speaker 12: Line, the Emirates putty moment goes the way of the Australians. 1955 01:38:29,147 --> 01:38:31,507 Speaker 2: Still one event to go in twenty twenty five, the 1956 01:38:31,547 --> 01:38:34,507 Speaker 2: Grand Final in three weeks time in Abu Dhabi.

It's just all about learning. 2027 01:41:43,827 --> 01:41:46,947 Speaker 21: The tendencies of how everyone works in the team and 2028 01:41:47,067 --> 01:41:49,547 Speaker 21: I help piece to the bow and how Bla trims 2029 01:41:49,627 --> 01:41:51,867 Speaker 21: wing and then yeah, just trying to work through that 2030 01:41:52,987 --> 01:41:54,907 Speaker 21: and then yeah, we've had a lot of different conditions 2031 01:41:54,947 --> 01:41:58,387 Speaker 21: this year, mainly light like when in the recent in 2032 01:41:58,467 --> 01:42:01,587 Speaker 21: a few events, so just real being on top of 2033 01:42:01,627 --> 01:42:03,907 Speaker 21: the game when it goes from being real light or 2034 01:42:04,027 --> 01:42:06,227 Speaker 21: real real windy, because it's the team that kind of 2035 01:42:06,387 --> 01:42:09,587 Speaker 21: settles into that pace as soon as you can first 2036 01:42:10,427 --> 01:42:13,467 Speaker 21: that that does well in those events, and ultimately the 2037 01:42:13,587 --> 01:42:15,027 Speaker 21: consistency throughout the season. 2038 01:42:15,507 --> 01:42:18,347 Speaker 2: You get a mountain of data, I'm sure after every race, 2039 01:42:18,427 --> 01:42:21,867 Speaker 2: probably after every leg of every race, when you look 2040 01:42:21,907 --> 01:42:25,107 Speaker 2: at your data, what is more important? Is it flight 2041 01:42:25,227 --> 01:42:29,147 Speaker 2: time or is it stability? Once you're up on the foils. 2042 01:42:30,867 --> 01:42:33,947 Speaker 21: It's basically, when it's light winds, it will be flight time, 2043 01:42:35,147 --> 01:42:35,867 Speaker 21: and then yeah. 2044 01:42:35,747 --> 01:42:38,227 Speaker 19: When it's when we're consistently foiling, it will be stability. 2045 01:42:39,467 --> 01:42:41,307 Speaker 21: You know that anyone can be a kind of hero 2046 01:42:41,507 --> 01:42:44,307 Speaker 21: and fly the boat super high, but if the stability 2047 01:42:44,387 --> 01:42:45,467 Speaker 21: is not there, it's it's. 2048 01:42:45,427 --> 01:42:47,147 Speaker 19: You know, you're not going to be getting the performance 2049 01:42:47,187 --> 01:42:47,747 Speaker 19: out of the boat. 2050 01:42:47,827 --> 01:42:51,267 Speaker 21: So I'm just trying to find that balance between flying 2051 01:42:51,387 --> 01:42:54,867 Speaker 21: super high and having enough stability that the team can 2052 01:42:54,947 --> 01:42:57,427 Speaker 21: make the decisions around the course. So that's what I 2053 01:42:57,507 --> 01:42:59,627 Speaker 21: look for in the data there is there are lots 2054 01:42:59,627 --> 01:43:01,867 Speaker 21: of data, and you can kind of really get into 2055 01:43:01,947 --> 01:43:06,227 Speaker 21: rabbit holes comparing itself with other teams and how you're going. 2056 01:43:06,387 --> 01:43:08,747 Speaker 21: But yeah, the main things are, you know, how your 2057 01:43:08,787 --> 01:43:12,827 Speaker 21: speed is around the course. The starts had been a 2058 01:43:12,987 --> 01:43:15,667 Speaker 21: kind of big statistic. You know that some of the 2059 01:43:15,747 --> 01:43:18,987 Speaker 21: other teams has definitely had some good mark one averages 2060 01:43:19,107 --> 01:43:21,667 Speaker 21: from the start, so just trying to figure out how. 2061 01:43:21,587 --> 01:43:22,147 Speaker 19: They're doing that. 2062 01:43:22,467 --> 01:43:24,387 Speaker 21: And then yeah, for me and Blair who kind of 2063 01:43:24,427 --> 01:43:27,747 Speaker 21: look after this speed stuff, trying to figure out where 2064 01:43:27,787 --> 01:43:30,147 Speaker 21: the games are made and how we can really get 2065 01:43:30,187 --> 01:43:31,307 Speaker 21: the potential out of the boat. 2066 01:43:31,387 --> 01:43:33,307 Speaker 19: But yeah, basically stability. 2067 01:43:33,707 --> 01:43:37,267 Speaker 21: Definitely a flight but we were falling, But yeah, flight 2068 01:43:37,387 --> 01:43:39,427 Speaker 21: is super important to staying on the foils and that 2069 01:43:39,547 --> 01:43:40,627 Speaker 21: really light, fickle breeze. 2070 01:43:41,067 --> 01:43:43,707 Speaker 2: You travel the world during Sole GP and it's great 2071 01:43:43,747 --> 01:43:46,427 Speaker 2: to have an event in New Zealand. Again, how much 2072 01:43:46,507 --> 01:43:49,787 Speaker 2: did you enjoy sailing on home waters earlier this year? 2073 01:43:49,827 --> 01:43:51,907 Speaker 2: Even though the result didn't go the way you probably hoped. 2074 01:43:52,067 --> 01:43:53,787 Speaker 2: What was it like sailing on home waters? 2075 01:43:55,267 --> 01:43:58,467 Speaker 19: Oh, it was amazing.

Were there any internal scars wellow when 2229 01:51:43,347 --> 01:51:45,907 Speaker 2: you arrived. Did you arrive into a playing group that 2230 01:51:46,027 --> 01:51:50,187 Speaker 2: was still feeling the effects of a pretty disappointing previous season. 2231 01:51:51,187 --> 01:51:52,027 Speaker 9: I don't think so. 2232 01:51:52,227 --> 01:51:55,867 Speaker 17: I think the recruitment was pretty good in terms of 2233 01:51:56,467 --> 01:52:00,507 Speaker 17: personalities that had come into to the team for what 2234 01:52:00,627 --> 01:52:01,987 Speaker 17: we're already there as well. 2235 01:52:02,307 --> 01:52:05,227 Speaker 9: I loved the dressing room. We had a great dressing room. 2236 01:52:05,267 --> 01:52:08,907 Speaker 17: I mean it was Andrew Juran there, there was Steven Taylor, 2237 01:52:09,827 --> 01:52:12,347 Speaker 17: There was Olie Sale as well. Was there a teammate 2238 01:52:12,387 --> 01:52:15,387 Speaker 17: of mine here at Perth as well? You know, there 2239 01:52:15,507 --> 01:52:19,787 Speaker 17: was a really really good core group as well. Nathan 2240 01:52:19,827 --> 01:52:22,147 Speaker 17: Burns was a very experienced player that was in the 2241 01:52:22,227 --> 01:52:25,347 Speaker 17: team too. And then you've got Libby Cacacci as well, 2242 01:52:25,387 --> 01:52:27,707 Speaker 17: who was just, you know, such a bright light in 2243 01:52:27,787 --> 01:52:30,867 Speaker 17: that season who has gone on to bigger and better things. 2244 01:52:30,947 --> 01:52:33,187 Speaker 9: So I didn't notice anything. 2245 01:52:33,227 --> 01:52:35,747 Speaker 17: And that's the best thing about being a player who 2246 01:52:36,307 --> 01:52:39,067 Speaker 17: didn't really follow the Phoenix the previous year and not 2247 01:52:39,267 --> 01:52:42,027 Speaker 17: knowing those you know, essentral scars or the way that 2248 01:52:42,147 --> 01:52:44,227 Speaker 17: the club or fan base were feeling. 2249 01:52:44,787 --> 01:52:45,107 Speaker 9: You can. 2250 01:52:45,907 --> 01:52:48,067 Speaker 17: You know, the beauty about signing new players about that 2251 01:52:48,267 --> 01:52:51,747 Speaker 17: is coming in and changing the environment. So I came 2252 01:52:51,827 --> 01:52:54,227 Speaker 17: in and from day one we were laughing and everyone 2253 01:52:54,347 --> 01:52:56,667 Speaker 17: was getting on. So yeah, I think that set up 2254 01:52:57,027 --> 01:52:59,027 Speaker 17: our preseason was really good and that set up the 2255 01:52:59,107 --> 01:53:02,627 Speaker 17: season that we had, which unfortunately didn't eventuate to anything, 2256 01:53:03,747 --> 01:53:06,227 Speaker 17: but there was some exciting games and I think we 2257 01:53:06,627 --> 01:53:10,507 Speaker 17: played some really really good football over that that season. 2258 01:53:10,667 --> 01:53:12,747 Speaker 2: Well, you made the top six, which hadn't been done 2259 01:53:12,787 --> 01:53:14,707 Speaker 2: for a for a few years at Wellington, so that 2260 01:53:14,827 --> 01:53:17,467 Speaker 2: was certainly an achievement. Just before we talk about more 2261 01:53:17,467 --> 01:53:20,467 Speaker 2: about the season, you mentioned Libby there. Liby Cacaci Sarprech 2262 01:53:20,547 --> 01:53:22,267 Speaker 2: thing was in that team as well, and we know 2263 01:53:22,707 --> 01:53:25,907 Speaker 2: they've both gone on. They've both gone on to to 2264 01:53:26,187 --> 01:53:29,627 Speaker 2: you know, to overseas careers. They were young then, man, 2265 01:53:30,147 --> 01:53:33,307 Speaker 2: was it obvious though to you even as youngsters that 2266 01:53:33,347 --> 01:53:35,267 Speaker 2: they had a bit about them Libby and Sarpreed. 2267 01:53:36,227 --> 01:53:37,107 Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely. 2268 01:53:37,867 --> 01:53:43,427 Speaker 17: The thing with those two is they got opportunities regularly 2269 01:53:43,507 --> 01:53:47,627 Speaker 17: as well. They were they were backed by Mark and 2270 01:53:48,147 --> 01:53:52,147 Speaker 17: it just made it you know, easy for them based 2271 01:53:52,227 --> 01:53:53,427 Speaker 17: on who was around. 2272 01:53:53,507 --> 01:53:55,907 Speaker 9: Them in different positions as well. So that's very. 2273 01:53:55,867 --> 01:54:00,267 Speaker 17: Important of where they're allocated on the field with some experience, 2274 01:54:00,307 --> 01:54:00,427 Speaker 17: you know. 2275 01:54:00,547 --> 01:54:03,307 Speaker 9: Sarpri was essentially when I was starting. 2276 01:54:03,707 --> 01:54:06,707 Speaker 17: He was playing behind Roy, christna Or and I with 2277 01:54:06,867 --> 01:54:08,867 Speaker 17: the two of us old fellas up the front and 2278 01:54:08,907 --> 01:54:10,867 Speaker 17: star Pre doing a lot of running for us. I 2279 01:54:10,947 --> 01:54:14,147 Speaker 17: think it was very handy, but also I think with 2280 01:54:14,307 --> 01:54:17,067 Speaker 17: the pace that Roy and I could kind of give, 2281 01:54:17,147 --> 01:54:20,707 Speaker 17: with Surprit through balls and his technical ability as well, 2282 01:54:20,787 --> 01:54:22,507 Speaker 17: I think it matched up really well. 2283 01:54:23,547 --> 01:54:26,187 Speaker 9: And Libby was a simple play He. 2284 01:54:26,267 --> 01:54:29,787 Speaker 17: Just wanted to attack, dribble, get crosses in and he 2285 01:54:29,947 --> 01:54:33,627 Speaker 17: based his football round simplicity, which he went on some 2286 01:54:33,747 --> 01:54:37,227 Speaker 17: amazing dribbles and some amazing runs and got you know 2287 01:54:37,427 --> 01:54:40,307 Speaker 17: people you know, standing up out of their seats wait 2288 01:54:40,507 --> 01:54:42,907 Speaker 17: holding their breath to see if the cross was you know, 2289 01:54:43,107 --> 01:54:44,747 Speaker 17: going to make it to a strike or if his. 2290 01:54:44,827 --> 01:54:45,627 Speaker 9: Shot was going in. 2291 01:54:45,787 --> 01:54:49,747 Speaker 17: So it was exciting and those players, you know, local 2292 01:54:50,427 --> 01:54:54,667 Speaker 17: well Libby was local, being from Wellington and pre obviously 2293 01:54:54,827 --> 01:54:57,347 Speaker 17: I'm pretty sure he's from Auckland. But at the time 2294 01:54:57,467 --> 01:55:01,787 Speaker 17: having local boys adds so much to the team as well, 2295 01:55:02,867 --> 01:55:06,267 Speaker 17: so that was inspiring for others who have also continued 2296 01:55:06,387 --> 01:55:06,787 Speaker 17: that path. 2297 01:55:07,587 --> 01:55:10,867 Speaker 2: So the season just before Christmas, I remember this game 2298 01:55:10,947 --> 01:55:14,827 Speaker 2: so vividly well against Brisbane Raw at what was Westpac 2299 01:55:14,867 --> 01:55:17,667 Speaker 2: Stadium now Sky Stadium, and you came off the bench 2300 01:55:17,907 --> 01:55:20,107 Speaker 2: and it was won all and you scored this absolute 2301 01:55:20,627 --> 01:55:23,027 Speaker 2: cracker of a goal and the Phoenix went on to 2302 01:55:23,107 --> 01:55:25,147 Speaker 2: win four to one. And from there, mate, it was 2303 01:55:25,227 --> 01:55:28,627 Speaker 2: like I was calling you scoring goals every single week. 2304 01:55:29,027 --> 01:55:31,987 Speaker 2: You were really prolific, you know, eleven and all that season, 2305 01:55:32,387 --> 01:55:34,587 Speaker 2: including a hat trick which I want to talk about 2306 01:55:34,587 --> 01:55:36,507 Speaker 2: as well. But what was going so well for you 2307 01:55:37,067 --> 01:55:39,347 Speaker 2: during that season? As those goals started to pile up. 2308 01:55:41,227 --> 01:55:43,347 Speaker 17: I just think I got a lot of confidence from 2309 01:55:43,787 --> 01:55:47,707 Speaker 17: from Marks as a coach as well. He would test me, 2310 01:55:48,027 --> 01:55:52,627 Speaker 17: would push me, and training was a very very high standard. 2311 01:55:53,827 --> 01:55:56,227 Speaker 9: It was you know, it was ruthless at times, which 2312 01:55:56,707 --> 01:55:58,107 Speaker 9: he was with certain plays. 2313 01:55:58,187 --> 01:56:01,427 Speaker 17: So when you're watching your teammate, you know, getting scolded 2314 01:56:01,547 --> 01:56:05,227 Speaker 17: over you know, something that happened at training or whatnot, 2315 01:56:05,347 --> 01:56:10,147 Speaker 17: the others kind kind of perk up and really start concentrating. 2316 01:56:10,187 --> 01:56:13,187 Speaker 17: So I think it came down to certain, you know 2317 01:56:13,707 --> 01:56:17,667 Speaker 17: things at training that really kept that level high. We 2318 01:56:17,787 --> 01:56:19,467 Speaker 17: did a lot of shooting, a lot of games, and 2319 01:56:19,787 --> 01:56:22,667 Speaker 17: then putting that into practice was the biggest thing. But 2320 01:56:22,867 --> 01:56:24,627 Speaker 17: I really do feel like I was a part of 2321 01:56:24,707 --> 01:56:26,627 Speaker 17: a really good team that year as well. 2322 01:56:27,627 --> 01:56:30,427 Speaker 9: It was exciting. We were really really fit, I felt. 2323 01:56:31,307 --> 01:56:35,467 Speaker 17: And yeah, with the likes of playing with Roy upfront 2324 01:56:35,507 --> 01:56:38,347 Speaker 17: as well, it just made things a little bit easier 2325 01:56:38,427 --> 01:56:39,227 Speaker 17: for me in that sense. 2326 01:56:39,387 --> 01:56:42,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got nineteen goals that season. I checked the 2327 01:56:42,387 --> 01:56:44,707 Speaker 2: stet before I came on with you, and I mean, 2328 01:56:44,747 --> 01:56:47,427 Speaker 2: what a what a season for her? Johnny Warren yellist 2329 01:56:47,467 --> 01:56:50,827 Speaker 2: as well. How did the combination between the two of 2330 01:56:50,907 --> 01:56:53,587 Speaker 2: you work because you didn't played together before. How did 2331 01:56:53,627 --> 01:56:56,787 Speaker 2: you so quickly forge such an effective partnership. 2332 01:56:59,547 --> 01:57:02,627 Speaker 17: I think it was just we were just simple players, really, 2333 01:57:02,827 --> 01:57:06,147 Speaker 17: Like I was never one to dribble and do step 2334 01:57:06,227 --> 01:57:07,467 Speaker 17: up or do any of that. 2335 01:57:07,667 --> 01:57:10,027 Speaker 9: Roy wasn't really either. He might just do one to 2336 01:57:10,307 --> 01:57:11,587 Speaker 9: create a yard to shoot with. 2337 01:57:11,747 --> 01:57:14,707 Speaker 17: But other than that, we used our strengths, which was 2338 01:57:15,227 --> 01:57:19,707 Speaker 17: our pace and our shot and football is simple. I 2339 01:57:19,827 --> 01:57:23,907 Speaker 17: think some people over complicated sometimes and I think we 2340 01:57:24,067 --> 01:57:26,907 Speaker 17: just stuck to our guns and didn't do anything out 2341 01:57:26,907 --> 01:57:31,467 Speaker 17: of the ordinary. We worked hard defensively, which created our opportunities, 2342 01:57:31,587 --> 01:57:35,867 Speaker 17: and I think that's you know, Roy's best strength is 2343 01:57:35,947 --> 01:57:38,787 Speaker 17: the way he worked off the ball created chances for 2344 01:57:39,107 --> 01:57:42,947 Speaker 17: himself while he was so successful as a striker winning 2345 01:57:43,027 --> 01:57:45,427 Speaker 17: the ball in the box. And I remember, even being 2346 01:57:45,467 --> 01:57:48,587 Speaker 17: in India as teammates with him, the amount of goals 2347 01:57:48,667 --> 01:57:52,987 Speaker 17: that he would assist me based on press and winning 2348 01:57:53,027 --> 01:57:55,987 Speaker 17: it in the front third was outstanding from him. And 2349 01:57:56,307 --> 01:57:59,067 Speaker 17: that's why he's still playing because of the way he trains, 2350 01:57:59,107 --> 01:58:00,267 Speaker 17: the way his mentality is. 2351 01:58:00,347 --> 01:58:00,747 Speaker 5: He can be. 2352 01:58:02,227 --> 01:58:04,027 Speaker 17: I don't know if he's close to forty three years 2353 01:58:04,067 --> 01:58:08,307 Speaker 17: old these days, but he's still he's still playing over 2354 01:58:08,467 --> 01:58:09,187 Speaker 17: in India. 2355 01:58:09,787 --> 01:58:13,067 Speaker 9: Not at the eye level, but he's still thereabouts. 2356 01:58:13,627 --> 01:58:17,867 Speaker 17: So I think the simplicity of our football was probably 2357 01:58:17,907 --> 01:58:21,747 Speaker 17: a reason why we connected so well. We were very 2358 01:58:21,867 --> 01:58:26,147 Speaker 17: very similar players, but we also had just a natural connection, 2359 01:58:26,267 --> 01:58:30,907 Speaker 17: and that's what some clubs can naturally and luckily get 2360 01:58:30,987 --> 01:58:34,987 Speaker 17: sometimes if players can just naturally connect. We were friends 2361 01:58:35,027 --> 01:58:38,307 Speaker 17: off the field, you know, we were friends on the 2362 01:58:38,347 --> 01:58:41,347 Speaker 17: field and I think that really made it a really 2363 01:58:41,387 --> 01:58:44,067 Speaker 17: good connection and partnership. 2364 01:58:44,387 --> 01:58:47,307 Speaker 2: Well, one of your more memorable Knights didn't feature him. 2365 01:58:47,467 --> 01:58:50,347 Speaker 2: He had been sent off the previous game against Western 2366 01:58:50,427 --> 01:58:54,147 Speaker 2: Sydney back end of March round twenty three. Newcastle come 2367 01:58:54,227 --> 01:58:56,667 Speaker 2: to Wellington. You score in the first minute, then a 2368 01:58:56,707 --> 01:58:58,907 Speaker 2: penalty after an hour, and then you've put this thing 2369 01:58:58,947 --> 01:59:02,027 Speaker 2: in the top corner past Glenn Moss for your hat trick. 2370 01:59:02,347 --> 01:59:05,067 Speaker 2: That goal, well, where where does that sit in amongst 2371 01:59:05,107 --> 01:59:07,227 Speaker 2: all of the goals that I think? 2372 01:59:07,787 --> 01:59:10,187 Speaker 17: I think that would be my number one goal I've 2373 01:59:10,227 --> 01:59:15,147 Speaker 17: scored in my career. It's just just how it went 2374 01:59:15,227 --> 01:59:18,907 Speaker 17: in the moment of you know, scoring a hat trick 2375 01:59:18,987 --> 01:59:23,907 Speaker 17: being the third goal. You know that stadium created such 2376 01:59:23,947 --> 01:59:27,787 Speaker 17: a good atmosphere as well. I've scored some great goals 2377 01:59:27,867 --> 01:59:32,227 Speaker 17: in might I say better atmospheres, but you know in 2378 01:59:32,267 --> 01:59:35,747 Speaker 17: a Melbourne derby when I was Melbourne Heart, this Melbourne 2379 01:59:35,787 --> 01:59:39,307 Speaker 17: victory that when it was Eddie had stadium before. I 2380 01:59:39,347 --> 01:59:42,867 Speaker 17: think it's now Marvel potentially, I can't remember what it 2381 01:59:42,947 --> 01:59:45,027 Speaker 17: might be called now, but you know when we used 2382 01:59:45,067 --> 01:59:49,347 Speaker 17: to sell out that that game, it was huge as well, 2383 01:59:49,467 --> 01:59:54,827 Speaker 17: so that that goal for me was quite important being 2384 01:59:56,267 --> 01:59:59,867 Speaker 17: outside the box. And I even remember Holy Sale he 2385 01:59:59,947 --> 02:00:01,867 Speaker 17: said he was on the bench and before I even 2386 02:00:01,947 --> 02:00:03,547 Speaker 17: hit it, he goes that this is going to be 2387 02:00:03,587 --> 02:00:05,867 Speaker 17: a goal like a few minutes before because he had 2388 02:00:05,907 --> 02:00:08,987 Speaker 17: a feeling, goes, there's no way a strikers on two 2389 02:00:09,107 --> 02:00:13,067 Speaker 17: goals and going to pass it to someone, and that 2390 02:00:13,267 --> 02:00:14,227 Speaker 17: was his basis of his. 2391 02:00:14,667 --> 02:00:16,947 Speaker 9: Call, and he goes, yeah, it's it's going in. 2392 02:00:17,187 --> 02:00:20,427 Speaker 17: So you know all he's got some good instincts about 2393 02:00:20,507 --> 02:00:22,667 Speaker 17: him too, which pretty cool. 2394 02:00:23,867 --> 02:00:29,107 Speaker 9: But yeah, there was one goal. Actually I can't actually find. 2395 02:00:28,947 --> 02:00:30,987 Speaker 17: Vision for it because it was so long ago as 2396 02:00:31,307 --> 02:00:34,147 Speaker 17: North Queensland, Fury Verse, Gold Coast and it was in 2397 02:00:34,627 --> 02:00:38,267 Speaker 17: the Gold Coast as well, so not sure if cameras 2398 02:00:38,267 --> 02:00:39,387 Speaker 17: were even around that man. 2399 02:00:41,947 --> 02:00:43,587 Speaker 9: I definitely don't think it was HD. 2400 02:00:44,627 --> 02:00:46,947 Speaker 17: But yeah, look, if there was any vision of a 2401 02:00:47,027 --> 02:00:52,147 Speaker 17: goal I scored at Skilled Stadium all those years ago, 2402 02:00:52,267 --> 02:00:56,027 Speaker 17: that was also up there for me. So look there 2403 02:00:56,107 --> 02:00:58,507 Speaker 17: was a I scored a really good header in India 2404 02:00:59,307 --> 02:01:01,507 Speaker 17: as a part of a semi final win to get 2405 02:01:01,587 --> 02:01:05,987 Speaker 17: us into the Grand Final one year, which is actually 2406 02:01:05,987 --> 02:01:10,867 Speaker 17: against Eric Pardalou's team Bengaloo, which he doesn't like. 2407 02:01:11,387 --> 02:01:14,107 Speaker 9: Me bringing that up every time I see him or 2408 02:01:14,187 --> 02:01:14,747 Speaker 9: speak to him. 2409 02:01:15,507 --> 02:01:18,827 Speaker 17: Look, there are good goals, but I think in terms 2410 02:01:18,867 --> 02:01:22,947 Speaker 17: of you've got to put atmosphere moments, what the order 2411 02:01:23,027 --> 02:01:25,507 Speaker 17: of the goal, I think that has to take the cake. 2412 02:01:25,627 --> 02:01:28,987 Speaker 9: The Phoenix against Newcastle Jets wonderful stuff. 2413 02:01:29,027 --> 02:01:32,427 Speaker 2: Well you had a season here six years ago.
