58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: All right, let's back to a chat to someone now

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: what talks about their dad who's a super fan of

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: Richmond who are playing tonight against the Blues.

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: Nathan, tell us about your dad, Bruce.

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Welcome more Christian Jack, Betty, everyone. I hope you will

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: have the good morning.

64
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: So tell us about is it Bruce your dad?

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Bruce my dad. Yeah. So basically, since I was a kid,

67
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: I got really sick and then he started taking me

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: to the football something we could do together. And he

69
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: started as a normal person, one jumper, and then he

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: thought just to like put a smile on my face,

71
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: on my cousin's face as I wear four, So he

72
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: went to four and he took one off every quarter

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: and then so he got probably five years and started

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: to become a teenager. You know what, this isn't fair.

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I'll wear a couple more. So four became eight, eight

76
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: became twelve. Before you know it, you know, it's getting

77
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: close to twenty seventeen, and he's saying, if we play

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: in the Grand Final, I'm going to wear twenty two

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: jumpers to the game. And he was getting up there.

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: He was wearing fifteen, sixteen seventeen. Yeah, and we made

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: to the Grand Final. He didn't have everyone's number, so

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: he had to make a couple of himself olden school

83
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: and throw them on they had everyone's number.

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: This guy is a legend. What an awesome Tiger fan.

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, what he does now because there's so

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: many jumpers because everyone I forgot to mention that, what

87
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: he does is to take him off now because obviously

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: you can't take two or three off at the end

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: of a quarter. Everyone would miss the name on the

90
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: back with the number. So after every goal he takes

91
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: a jumper off and he has a stockpile next to him.

92
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: So there's three emergencies now a new rule. So he

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: will take three jumpers in a bag next to him tonight,

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: and when let's just say, like last week it was

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Jack Ross and there was two other players, So to

96
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: get to three quarter time or halfway through the third quarter,

97
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: he will take that jumper out of the bag of

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: that player and put it on top and where he's

99
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: number two.

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: I love this whole.

101
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: Sort of support around it now because obviously there's been

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: the news that a couple of players have been acts.

103
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: So how does he keep up with who's going to

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: playing and who's out on the oval?

105
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got every single player on the list already

106
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: this year.

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: And I hear it he wings the club sometimes to

108
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: get the information he needs.

109
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he wrings them up. He just so once

110
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: he gets them, once he gets or he knows that

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: they're being signed up, like we just signed up law

112
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: sorry new Keywi guy. I'm excited to see how he goes.

113
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: But he he got signed and he had his number

114
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: two days later with his with his name on it.

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: This is great. I love this.

116
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: Maybe this is why demer was sort of do you

Speaker 1: really terrible first half. I said, maybe it'll be two

160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: goals to three goals at half time, that's how good

161
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: we were. But yeah, no, hopefully it's a good game.

162
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm confident. I'm not as confident as my dad will be.

163
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: He'll tell you at the start of every season we're

164
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: going to win the premiership.

165
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: Do you know what.

166
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: They should be taking your dad and all his jumpers right,

167
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: and his story inslat locker room before the game tonight,

168
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: and they shouldn't do any kind of pep talk.

169
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: They should.

170
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: You should just get there and tell you a story

171
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: about your dad and what Fanny is, and they should

172
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: run out there to win it for your old man.

173
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh. They a couple of them know about him cutting

174
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: news to joke, sorry, I've got my dog in the car,

175
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: Cutchings to check about Cotton needs to joke about the

176
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: names being wrong on it. And yeah, a couple of

177
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: the old senior players still give him a bit of

178
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: froth about it, but they do love him so.

179
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: And so when a player retires like Cutching and Rewell,

180
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 5: does he retire the jumper?

181
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he'll put that in the in the there's

182
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: a special drawer he's got for a tired player.

183
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: Say, I feel like there's a shrine or something where

184
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: they go to be preserved in amber.

185
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: What I should do is I will take a photo over.

186
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: If I can't do it tomorrow because I'm there tonight,

187
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: I will send you an email, Christian, and I will

188
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: put all of his jumpers on the.

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,120
