33
00:01:52,507 --> 00:01:54,907
Speaker 4: We're just at the airport to get on a flight

34
00:01:54,947 --> 00:01:58,147
Speaker 4: back to back home, so no other boys are in

35
00:01:58,187 --> 00:01:59,667
Speaker 4: good spirits. Ay, it's awesome.

36
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:02,867
Speaker 3: The end of the game. I know another colleague of

37
00:02:02,907 --> 00:02:05,307
Speaker 3: mine just about turn the TV off. He again is

38
00:02:05,347 --> 00:02:07,747
Speaker 3: a Marco fan. He was go, I can't cope with us.

39
00:02:07,747 --> 00:02:10,267
Speaker 3: But the end was it was tough and tough. Now

40
00:02:10,307 --> 00:02:12,627
Speaker 3: it wasn't who went in there and caused the ruckers

41
00:02:12,667 --> 00:02:15,427
Speaker 3: as they were trying to basically hang on to the

42
00:02:15,467 --> 00:02:19,667
Speaker 3: ball and defend that lead the penalty. You basically ran

43
00:02:19,787 --> 00:02:21,187
Speaker 3: straight and grabbed the ball, didn't you.

44
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:27,187
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's awesome. Like we we actually trained that simulation

45
00:02:27,347 --> 00:02:30,507
Speaker 4: a lot, trying to try to get the ball back

46
00:02:30,947 --> 00:02:33,427
Speaker 4: with a minute to go, So we have a play

47
00:02:33,467 --> 00:02:35,027
Speaker 4: that we try to do. We get gym in there

48
00:02:35,067 --> 00:02:39,027
Speaker 4: and it works, so we trained it and then yeah,

49
00:02:39,027 --> 00:02:40,747
Speaker 4: I knew I knew it was in my range when

50
00:02:40,747 --> 00:02:43,627
Speaker 4: I seen where he got it from. So but it's awesome,

51
00:02:43,867 --> 00:02:47,547
Speaker 4: like the boys backed me straight away. When you get

52
00:02:47,547 --> 00:02:49,907
Speaker 4: that from the teammates, you know you have the confidence

53
00:02:49,987 --> 00:02:53,187
Speaker 4: to have a shot. So I was pretty pretty happy

54
00:02:53,187 --> 00:02:54,587
Speaker 4: that it went over over obviously.

55
00:02:54,947 --> 00:02:59,467
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been told fifty forty six, forty seven, forty

56
00:02:59,507 --> 00:03:00,387
Speaker 3: eight doesn't matter.

57
00:03:00,427 --> 00:03:04,747
Speaker 2: It was a long lay candle. Yeah, I don't know.

58
00:03:05,787 --> 00:03:07,907
Speaker 4: I think one of the coaches picked some grass up

59
00:03:07,907 --> 00:03:09,227
Speaker 4: from the spot after I kicked it.

60
00:03:09,307 --> 00:03:10,187
Speaker 2: He's got it with him.

61
00:03:10,227 --> 00:03:14,347
Speaker 4: So yeah, but we'll just say forty ish fortyish on it.

62
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:17,107
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a long long way.

63
00:03:17,267 --> 00:03:21,547
Speaker 3: And for you, wasn't it your first touch of the

64
00:03:21,587 --> 00:03:22,587
Speaker 3: ball since you come on?

65
00:03:23,747 --> 00:03:27,507
Speaker 4: Yeah, so came on with eight to go. We're sort

66
00:03:27,507 --> 00:03:29,947
Speaker 4: of on defense the whole time. They ended up scoring,

67
00:03:30,027 --> 00:03:33,427
Speaker 4: and then I older in my seconds, I kicked kicked

68
00:03:33,467 --> 00:03:36,627
Speaker 4: off after they scored, and then the next next time

69
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:39,867
Speaker 4: I touched the ball was the kick. So yeah, it

70
00:03:39,907 --> 00:03:44,227
Speaker 4: was awesome games come on and be able to do that,

71
00:03:44,427 --> 00:03:49,187
Speaker 4: especially for for the region, but Nelson from Marlborough, it's awesome.

72
00:03:49,787 --> 00:03:52,827
Speaker 3: So talk to us about what was flying through your

73
00:03:52,867 --> 00:03:54,827
Speaker 3: mind before you took that kick.

74
00:03:54,947 --> 00:03:56,307
Speaker 2: What kind of kicker are you?

75
00:03:56,507 --> 00:03:56,587
Speaker 4: Do?

76
00:03:56,627 --> 00:03:58,587
Speaker 2: You do you do you picture it? Do you panic?

77
00:03:58,667 --> 00:04:02,867
Speaker 2: Do you go into a blank? How does that work? Yeah,

78
00:04:02,947 --> 00:04:05,667
Speaker 2: it was pretty It's pretty good. Like especially this week.

79
00:04:06,187 --> 00:04:09,987
Speaker 4: We trained a bit, but in those situations, so after

80
00:04:10,027 --> 00:04:12,147
Speaker 4: training would muck around with some of the boys, say,

81
00:04:12,267 --> 00:04:14,867
Speaker 4: you know, pretend we're kicking the gold to win the

82
00:04:14,947 --> 00:04:19,747
Speaker 4: win the shield sort of things like that. So but yeah,

83
00:04:19,867 --> 00:04:21,787
Speaker 4: as much as you know, I'd like to say that

84
00:04:21,987 --> 00:04:24,107
Speaker 4: I was calm, you know, cool, collective and all that.

85
00:04:24,147 --> 00:04:26,467
Speaker 4: It was, you know you obviously thoughts come through the

86
00:04:26,547 --> 00:04:29,947
Speaker 4: mine about you know, if and butts and all that.

87
00:04:30,027 --> 00:04:32,067
Speaker 4: But now as soon as I had it, it was sort

88
00:04:32,107 --> 00:04:35,747
Speaker 4: of heading to the right post and then five ten

89
00:04:35,787 --> 00:04:37,627
Speaker 4: meters to go, it's sort of just snuck in. So

90
00:04:38,707 --> 00:04:40,467
Speaker 4: I was I was happy when the flags went up.

91
00:04:40,507 --> 00:04:43,387
Speaker 3: For sure, Campbell Pilot, you took the air out of

92
00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:47,147
Speaker 3: McLean Park. I expect that the fans would have just gone, ah,

93
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:50,147
Speaker 3: you are kidding me, and you guys would have reveled

94
00:04:50,147 --> 00:04:51,067
Speaker 3: in that silence.

95
00:04:51,787 --> 00:04:54,347
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was awesome, Like, man, the crowd was

96
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:56,387
Speaker 4: huge there. I couldn't couldn't get over it when they

97
00:04:56,427 --> 00:04:58,747
Speaker 4: scored with a couple of months ago. It's honestly the

98
00:04:58,787 --> 00:05:02,187
Speaker 4: loudest game I've been a part of. And then to

99
00:05:02,267 --> 00:05:04,427
Speaker 4: be able to put it back on them after the

100
00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:07,587
Speaker 4: after the siren was awesome. And just to be with

101
00:05:07,627 --> 00:05:11,227
Speaker 4: the lads after the game, and just people like Quentin

102
00:05:11,267 --> 00:05:13,587
Speaker 4: McDonald's played over one hundred and twenty games, have never

103
00:05:13,907 --> 00:05:15,907
Speaker 4: never touched the shield, you know, to get it for

104
00:05:15,987 --> 00:05:19,267
Speaker 4: him and people like that just specially means he.

105
00:05:20,107 --> 00:05:22,747
Speaker 2: You've had a pretty rotten year. You've been a rotten

106
00:05:22,827 --> 00:05:23,707
Speaker 2: couple of years.

107
00:05:23,747 --> 00:05:25,467
Speaker 3: To talk us through what happened with the Force, what

108
00:05:25,547 --> 00:05:27,667
Speaker 3: you're a couple of year contract over there, but what

109
00:05:27,787 --> 00:05:28,747
Speaker 3: you hardly played?

110
00:05:28,747 --> 00:05:31,347
Speaker 2: Did you just fell apart? Talk us through that?

111
00:05:31,347 --> 00:05:32,787
Speaker 4: That was it. Yeah.

112
00:05:32,827 --> 00:05:34,467
Speaker 1: So I was over at.

113
00:05:34,427 --> 00:05:39,147
Speaker 4: The Force for super but picked up a shoulder injury

114
00:05:39,587 --> 00:05:43,587
Speaker 4: heading over there, had a shoulder reconstruction surgery, so that

115
00:05:43,627 --> 00:05:46,707
Speaker 4: took me out of my first year just rehabbing that

116
00:05:46,787 --> 00:05:52,627
Speaker 4: completely and then coming back from that, ended up doing

117
00:05:52,627 --> 00:05:55,787
Speaker 4: a grade for HAMI tear off the bone, so that

118
00:05:55,907 --> 00:05:59,027
Speaker 4: was the second year fully out. It was a good

119
00:06:00,107 --> 00:06:02,947
Speaker 4: a good period out of the game, just in rehab,

120
00:06:03,747 --> 00:06:08,707
Speaker 4: some some tough times obviously just constantly been written rehab,

121
00:06:08,747 --> 00:06:12,387
Speaker 4: but no, like we sort of spoke about it last night.

122
00:06:12,507 --> 00:06:16,267
Speaker 4: To be able to sort of stay at it, stick

123
00:06:16,307 --> 00:06:19,067
Speaker 4: in it, and then to be able to have a

124
00:06:19,067 --> 00:06:21,627
Speaker 4: moment like last night sort of makes it all all

125
00:06:21,627 --> 00:06:24,427
Speaker 4: worth it really, So yeah, and I was just just

126

Speaker 4: So we shot off there when I was when I

161
00:08:06,027 --> 00:08:08,547
Speaker 4: was pretty young, grew up over there and then ended

162
00:08:08,627 --> 00:08:13,547
Speaker 4: up going to boarding school in in Queensland at TSS,

163
00:08:13,547 --> 00:08:17,267
Speaker 4: the Southport School. So yeah, it was awesome time over there.

164
00:08:17,307 --> 00:08:18,867
Speaker 4: But it's good to be back home.

165
00:08:19,547 --> 00:08:20,387
Speaker 2: Must be great.

166
00:08:20,547 --> 00:08:24,227
Speaker 3: And what about the Yamea Wobblers, how are they feeling

167
00:08:24,307 --> 00:08:24,627
Speaker 3: right now?

168
00:08:24,627 --> 00:08:25,507
Speaker 2: Even in touch with them?

169
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,627
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, now we've got a we're taking the shield

170
00:08:28,867 --> 00:08:31,627
Speaker 4: back to the Wobbers club rooms and I think it's Wednesday,

171
00:08:32,427 --> 00:08:34,307
Speaker 4: so that would be good for me and Mackat to

172
00:08:34,307 --> 00:08:37,547
Speaker 4: get back there and get it around. Like I said before,

173
00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:41,067
Speaker 4: like we probably don't know the extent of what the

174
00:08:41,067 --> 00:08:43,867
Speaker 4: shield means to so many people in the region, so

175
00:08:44,067 --> 00:08:45,707
Speaker 4: that'll be awesome the next couple of days to be able

176
00:08:45,747 --> 00:08:49,467
Speaker 4: to get around and get out and about. So yeah,

177
00:08:49,587 --> 00:08:50,307
Speaker 4: looking forward to it.

178
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:53,267
Speaker 3: Campbell Panta, I've got to ask, have you guys been

179
00:08:53,387 --> 00:08:56,147
Speaker 3: schooled on a protocol around the shield, like you know

180
00:08:56,187 --> 00:08:59,027
Speaker 3: what not to do off it, what not to drop

181
00:08:59,067 --> 00:09:00,747
Speaker 3: it on and so forth.

182
00:09:02,387 --> 00:09:03,387
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have.

183
00:09:03,547 --> 00:09:05,787
Speaker 4: We have had a little chat last night about it.

184
00:09:06,987 --> 00:09:09,387
Speaker 4: Our team manager has actually got a nice photo of

185
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:13,667
Speaker 4: us with a with a fizzy drink on it drinking

186
00:09:13,667 --> 00:09:16,667
Speaker 4: a fizzy drink off it. So now we'll be responsible

187
00:09:16,707 --> 00:09:18,587
Speaker 4: and make sure we look after it for sure.

188
00:09:18,827 --> 00:09:21,627
Speaker 2: And then finally over the Hill and Marlborough they can

189
00:09:21,707 --> 00:09:22,307
Speaker 2: say wow.

190
00:09:22,587 --> 00:09:24,947
Speaker 5: That's the first for the Marco, but not the first

191
00:09:25,147 --> 00:09:28,307
Speaker 5: the district because we picked it up back in seventy three.

192
00:09:28,627 --> 00:09:32,667
