1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Ninety six airms Own Fremantle Docker David Monday.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh, David, it's just going from.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 3: Good to good to Gooder York Free. I've beat Hawthorne

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 3: by thirteen points at Upta Stadium on Saturday, and as

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: we all said, even I know that you can't rule

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: out Hawthorne.

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: And they did indeed test the Dockers all game.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've had a pretty good US so far under

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 4: Sammy Mitchell, and with the threat of raining around in

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 4: our previous history this year in the wet there was

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 4: a bit of trepidation heading into the game, but yeah,

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 4: I thought we handled it pretty well. We certainly didn't

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 4: play our best kind of footy, but sometimes you have

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 4: to win ugly.

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 5: Yeah you know that feeling. Yeah, yeah, winning ugly?

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think we did just get the four points

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: because no one cares about what happened later in the year. Hawthorne,

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: you've been in that place where you've played pretty good

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: footy all year. But you they've only won four games now,

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: but they've been close to a lot of top sides

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: I've beaten. I think they've beat the Cats as well.

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: So frustrating, isn't it for a team like that? Yeah?

23
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I think it gives them a pretty clear pathway

24
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: out of their They're pretty commanded at the moment though.

25
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: The Segurs obviously got a pretty good planning place, and

26
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: you know, he's a bit of an innovative thinker in

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: terms of coaching, so he's throwing a few different things

28
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: at them and they're able to implement that. They were

29
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 4: missing quite a few of their top liners as well.

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: Mitch Lewis for them has been really important this year.

31
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: So if your Hawks fan, I think they're certainly light

32
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 4: at the end of the tunnel.

33
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: Much to the delight of fans, Nat five returned. He

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: had twenty one disposals, five clearances and kicked one goal.

35
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: A post match he said he'd told the young young

36
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: ones Brochure and Sorong too and I quote treat me

37
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: like a first game. So did he get a weggie

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: after the game?

39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 4: Did he get a weggie gay shower in the eyes? Yeah?

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 5: No, it was great to have back.

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: He looked pretty good, didn't He was a bit scratchy early,

42
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: but he's had that kind of mindset for a while now,

43
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: building back in around team training and things like that.

44
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: Just playing his role and doing his bit. And not

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: being overpowering and the superstar that we know he is.

46
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, hopefully he can build from that performance and

47
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: be something special for us in the.

48
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Back half of the Absolutely, he's watching closely as he's

49
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: coming out, and he's you know, you know, you come

50
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: out of the race and the little mascots are there

51
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: and you could not wipe the grin off his face

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: back after all that time.

53
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's been through quite a lot.

54
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: It's about a year he's been out, but he's been

55
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: through multiple surgeries and obviously the mental anguish that goes

56
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: along with that and the questions that he asked himself

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: going through those kind of processes would have been fairly dire.

58
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: So to be back out in the park doing what

59
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: he loves was great to see.

60
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, now sounds swift, sweeter.

61
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: I've been practiced.

62
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: Fine, Sam Switkowski. I've got to remember to pause Sam

63
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: and swi. It has emerged that he could be sidelined

64
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: again with a back injury.

65
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's a young man in an old man's body.

66
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: So he's been played with different kind of injuries his

67
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: whole time at Free Mat and we know when he

68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: gets good run out of what kind of player is.

69
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: We've seen that a bit this year, so hopefully yeah,

70
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: again that can be fairly straightforward in his recovery sounds

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: like it could be a little bit complex or whatever,

72
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: but hopefully we get to see him again this year.

73
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brandon Walker.

74
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, like he's now the nomination of course rising

75
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Star on which is great, and he put it all

76
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: together on the weekend.

77
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 5: He did.

78
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: He's a great player to having your team. He's so fast,

79
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: he's still learning the cape. Obviously, he's a young man

80
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: coming in, but I remember when he came in with

81
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: his brother to try out through at NJ program before

82
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: the draft a couple of years ago. He was so

83
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: raw and he's come so far since then. We's got

84
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: so much growth left left in in but it was

85
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: great to get around him. He kicked his first goal

86
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: on the weekend as well, which is a big deal,

87
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: particularly from a halfbacker. And yeah, they get a rising

88
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: start on. I think he's a huge tick on his

89
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: year so far.

90
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: He gets before my wife coach. He looks like an

91
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: R and B sing and he is so smooth.

92
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he looks so casual, but he's so quick.

93
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: He gets himself out of so many situations like just

94
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: by running away from blokes. It's nice skill to have.

95
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: So he kicked his first goal and meanwhile Michael Walters

96
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: graduated to a whole new club kicking his three hundred

97
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: number three hundred.

98
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: The second Freemantle player to make it. Yeah, and another

99
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: really big deal, big milestone for Sunny. He's obviously been

100
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: through a lot and the beginning of his career was

101
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: quite rocky and he's been such a stable star factor

102
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: for Freeman for a long time. Now it's good for

103
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: him to get on the board.

104
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't get sent back this one. At one stae

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: the coach said he was a bit chubby.

106
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was almost a famenciation. Yeah, and then on

107
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: the back of that made some life choices and yeah,

108
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: his wife Marnie got him, straightened him up a bit

109
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: and he's come along in all Australian and yeah, three

110
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 4: hundred goals, he's done quite a lot.

111
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 5: Yeah.

112
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: Before we go to the break, I just want to ask.

113
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: We just played some disco, right, we just played Casey

114
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: of the Sunshine, Bann are you disco?

115
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: Dave Monday? What's your music taste? How do you love?

116
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: I'm a bit of a blend. Before games, Blake Acres

117
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: takes control of the playlist in the rooms, and obviously

118
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: there's a bit of a generational gap for me to

119
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: the most of our playing group. The music they're playing

120
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: is a little bit different to stuff I like. But

121
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 4: after our final team meeting, most of the guys go

122
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: out on the ground and I get six minutes to

123
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: play whatever I want, right, I like it and so

124
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: so it's a mix of things like Queens of the

125
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 4: Stone Age, Nirvana, and it's kind of tunes. So I

126
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 4: really enjoy that six minutes.

127
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 5: That fires you up.

128
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: And they come back in and change the players.

129
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good, all right.

130
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Now man from the Freo doc is Dave Monday is

131
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: with us this morning, and David's getting tight at the top,

132
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: but Free and Melbourne Brizy up there, and then some

133
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: of the other teams coming, like the Blues and Pies.

134
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty tight top half of the ladder really,

135
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: isn't it. I don't think much separates, you know, guys

136
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: at the top to down to ninth or tenth.

137
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's.

138
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: Nice, nice, I guess for the spectators. Nice close games

139
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 4: and anything can happen, but our focus is just continuing

140
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 4: to win.

141
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Freemantle have the buy this weekend. So what will

142
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: you be getting up to, Not a whole lot.

143
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: I'll just enjoy a few days, a few consecutive days

144
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: of not doing too much and go back into being

145
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: daddy David and dropping kids off at school and the

146
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: rest of it. So yeah, very casual.

147
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: Yeah.

148
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: So it was the key to that, the fact that

149
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: you didn't have to do anything after the game on

150
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the weekend, like this is when that's when it started.

151
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nice little mental break can get away. Yeah.

152
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: So we have a little bit of physical stuff to

153
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: tick off throughout the week which just keep the body

154
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 4: moving and we get together later in the week again

155
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: to have a good go at it and get back

156
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: into the Carlton game next weekend.

157
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: There may be some people though, that don't have the

158
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: weekend off. Are you weighing up bringing back injury prone

159
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 3: spearhead Matt Tabner for the Waffle affiliate pell Thunders clash

160
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: against ease Perth on Saturday.

161
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so Matt might and there will be a

162
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: handful of other free mental guys who'll play on through

163
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: with Peel this weekend, right, guys, I guess who have

164
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: been there most of the year or pushing for selection

165
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 4: on that cusp. So yeah, it'd be a good chance

166
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: to get down and support the thunder absolutely.

167
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: What Aboutdrizzy, how's he going, Nathan A drisk school. He's

168
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: was hitting, he's kicking goals out of the pockets, all

169
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: kinds of grounds, especially at.

170
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: All this but he's had a bit of a setback.

171
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's not coming together as well as you

172
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: would have liked, I guess so, I'm not sure there's

173
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: a time on on it, but it's very disappointing, particularly

174
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: playing that wing. He was doing it really well and

175
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: it was a real asset for us. So be nice

176
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: to getting back when he's fit. But looks like it

177
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: might be a little bit longer.

178
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: It's got to be one of the worst injuries you

179
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: can have in football. Anything to do with your foot.

180
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, anything.

181
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get stuck on exercise bikes and the rest

182
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: of it, and it's so much fun.

183
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,200
