1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: The hammershead coaches Matt Winter Morning morning, Loki, you mate,

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: you good convincing Whin to lock up the hen and

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: shields on the weekend via the Old Golds. Lots to

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: be happy with. What were the highlights for you?

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: Probably a defense outside of a we laps at fifteen

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, I thought we defended really well. Yeah, probably

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: our best eighty minutes on the defensive side of ball

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: all year. So just showing that together at this time

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: of season really really pleasing.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Tom Ricky, a superstar in his fiftieth and even at

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: the death we had I think it was Ashton macartho

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: who dotted down went for the resets, the hooter blows

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: with forty points up and yet we're still going for

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: another try. I mean, is that drive being trained or

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: is that just another testament to the spirit of the side.

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't. Yeah, yeah, you got to give it

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: to the boys on that one. We can't take too

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: much credit for anything like that. They just our fellows

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: that won't stop, they won't quit. So yeah, it's pretty

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: special to be a part of. And yeah that's all

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: and them definitely.

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: We're finished at top of the table with forty points.

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Is that top Marx?

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I haven't too deep into it,

25
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: but it's five point yeah, eight, five or forty, aren't they?

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: I think mess mess does nothing. I don't know. The

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: tids are the ones back to school this morning so

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: they can tell us.

29
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's it's maximum points from from

30
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: all rare so yeah, it's very pleasing.

31
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: But of course all that goes to the side as

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: we turn to the business end of the competition and

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: we welcome Tania Dern's back to town. On set today

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: we're up against White Bush Yep, yeah.

35
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: We certainly are so no you did right, mate. It's

36
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: a bit of a cliche and boring as anything, but

37
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: we're all on zero points. Again, we're all very even

38
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: killed and knockout foot he's a different beast, so something

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: were Yeah. I can't wait, to be honest, mate, I

40
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: wish it was Saturday already, perfy. Honest, I'm going to

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: be very i a or a well from my daytime

42
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: chop this week, so I hope they understand.

43
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: In preparation, does anything change from the usual?

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: Not particularly. You're silly to think that it's not just

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: another game. You can't walk into it to say no,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: it's just another week. It's in the game. There's a

47
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: lot more to it, obviously, a feeling and all that

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: sort of thing, so you've got to allow for that.

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: But as far as the extra weeks, as the knows

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: are concerned, we're just going to do what we do

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: really well, probably do it better than we have so far.

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: So there's an exciting opportunity for us. I suppose we touched.

53
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: On it with Jason Rickard on Friday. How much of

54
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: an advantage is it not having to travel messive?

55
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's really really huge for us because it

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you go really outside of the South

57
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: Island and it's all it's all quite niggly. There's nowhere

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: really where you just land and that you're there, so

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: you're having to not having to worry about that. Yeah,

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: it's a huge, huge plus on their side.

61
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Semi finals often come down to composure, but I feel

62
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: like we've sort of been preparing for these pressure moments

63
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: all season. Do you feel like it's a culmination yourself.

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were really keen to make a statement. We've

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: been up and down at times throughout the season and games.

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: I suppose throughout this throughout we've been tested for some

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: good sides, so you'll be able to go out and

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: put a statement on that this week, just being that

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: puts us in good steed going forward. But yeah, we

70
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: have found ourselves in a variety of different scenarios, so yeah,

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: we're pretty well prepared.

72
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to think, Yeah, and just quickly, what's your

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: message to the fans.

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Good dawn here as much as you can. I know

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: it's on TV, and I know it's live streams and

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: it's convenience time at home, but it means the absolute

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: world to the voice to have that hell and it's

78
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: then pat It's a big reason why we do it

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: is for our people in our regions. So if you

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: can be there for us, it'll be huge.

81
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to lap up that atmosphere myself. Well,

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: so you're back at the showgrounds this coming set today.

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,640
