Speaker 4: You a normal pos like a normal person in winter.

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 6: It's yeah enough, all right, Well, straight back into it.

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday early for US eleven

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 6: a m per time is bounced down. The Eagles almost

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 6: beat Essendon earlier where our jackets were in hand ready

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 6: to wave. But the and the Bombers have been in

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 6: pretty good form since they're now fourth on the AFL Ladder,

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 6: so they're going, well, it's it's going to be a

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 6: tough one.

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, it is, and we were close, well

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: close last time. We had a few injuries as well

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 5: that made the bench quite short as well.

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: That on myself and you did yeah think about.

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: No comment, no, but yeah that's I think we end

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: up having two on the bench the last quarter, so

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 5: that and we were one of them could sit down.

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: We were starting to come home exactly exactly. So I

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: just pictured that.

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: That was my way of saying, what you did without

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 6: you get back actually know, but I pitched it and

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 6: just had a little believe that that no comment.

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: Yes exactly, but it's going to be a tough game.

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we're going over there hopefully to put up

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: best foot forward. We've had two games that we should

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 5: have won and unfortunately fell short. So there's some things

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: that we've addressed over the over the past couple of

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: days that we want to get better at, and you

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: know we're going to try and implement that on against

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: this and coming this week.

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Man, it's something with teams are so inconsistent right now. Yeah,

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the ladder is so close, but the bombs are one

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: of those sides.

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.

62
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just feels like such an even competition at

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: the moment in terms of any team on their day

64
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: you can win it. Yes, and yeah, I guess that

65
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: for a fair that makes things exciting as well. But

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: for players especially you know myself, it feels like no

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: matter when or if you rock up in the right

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 5: frame of mind, you can win any game.

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 6: I feel like it's turning into the year of the behind.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 6: That a lot of teams kicking a lot of points

71
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: instead of goals and Essendon Essendon is one of them.

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: So it's an efficiency game, isn't it. And the Eagles

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: have done it a few times too, Yeah, we have.

74
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 6: So is that a week spot you might go after

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 6: with them or I might do the same to you.

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's more.

77
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: I feel like it's more an efficiency game because the

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: game is so quick and brutal at the moment that, yes,

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: you're going to make the most and especially with momentum swings,

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 5: you just got to make the most of your chances

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: when you get them. If you don't capitalize then obviously

82
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: you know these these momentum swings and that in games

83
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: they're so pivotal, pivotal, and that you want to capitalize

84
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 5: on them because as I said that, the teams in

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 5: the competition so easy that any given day, teams can

86
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 5: jump on top and get the better of you. So

87
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: you want to make the most of it while you

88
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 5: get it and while you feel like you're running hot

89
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: with the ball. But also you want to try and

90
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: nullify as quick as possible, you know, when the other

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: team gets on that runner. So if we can be efficient,

92
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 5: which we weren't against North on the weekend, then I think,

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: you know, we'll be right up there.

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of North, mate, there's eight goals to two or

95
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: something against Collingwood on the weekend. Six goals you're not

96
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: safe in modern foty, or even nine goals for that matter,

97
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: because they lost.

98
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, not against the reigning premieres.

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they came home with pretty credit to Collingwood.

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: Good unbelievable.

101
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 6: So Harley Read is set to miss another week to

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 6: that's a suspension. But how likely is Tim Kelly to

103
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 6: return this week?

104
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 5: I have TK trains on Thursday and then he should

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 5: be Yeah, he should be okay.

106
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: So that's yeah, that will be the test for.

107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 6: And the one everyone wants to know about.

108
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, is the same in the same boat. There'll be

109
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: a test on Thursday. If they both get through, then

110
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: all good.

111
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 6: So he could come straight back in no little stint

112
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 6: in the waffle to freezing back.

113
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: He's yep, I think so getting him back. From what

114
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I've been told, it's a lot of people happy with

115
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: the years.

116
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but from what I've been told, he's put in

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 5: a lot of work.

118
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, we know he's a good He's still

119
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: a young bloke. He's in good Man, he's co captain

120
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: of the club. But how's he been I mean, you've

121
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: spent plenty of time in rehab the last couple of years,

122
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: you've been back more this year. How's has he been

123
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: around the club?

124
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: He's been pretty good.

125
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think early days the diagnosis wasn't good, and

126
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: I think he thought that that was his season sort

127
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: of gone.

128
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: But he got some good news a while back.

129
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 5: And then from that point on he's just been charging

130
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 5: through rehab, which has been good. So energy around the

131
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 5: football club and vibes and just his leadership as well

132
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: has been outstanding. So especially for a young team to

133
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 5: have a player of his caliber that can articulate in

134
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 5: a very good way for others to understand that, Yeah,

135
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 5: that's that's rare.

136
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's like Brendan Coxett free they both got

137
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: injured in Round one.

138
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 4: It's a pretty horrible way to start the season.

139
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. Yeah, Yeah, So yeah, he was pretty

140
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: upset about it.

141
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 5: And obviously I feel like Oscar as much as he

142
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 5: is a very good articulator and he's a very good leader,

143
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 5: he likes to lead by actions as well, and he

144
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: likes to be out there. So yeah, knowing that he's

145
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: a close I'm sure he's excited as hell all right.

146
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 6: Over the last week, there's been more trade rumors and

147
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 6: the one most talked about is you. Right around the country,

148
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: you are being talked about North Melbourne said said to

149
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 6: offer you a big deal. But I everyone I hear

150
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 6: talk about it. You know, all the speculators, all the

151
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: speculators seem to be saying Elliott's not going to go anywhere.

152
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 6: Can you share any sort of update.

153
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 5: There's just been more communication from West Coast, which is good. Okay,

154
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: so there's a lot more open communication which hopefully in

155
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: the coming weeks that you know, we can to an

156
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 5: agreement and look in something.

157
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: So because it does feel like the dialogue has changed

158
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: in the last forty eight hours or so.

159
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it has, it has a bit, which for a

160
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: bit there I was getting a little bit worried. But yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

161
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: it's it's open now and yeah, hopefully we can come

162
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: to an agreement.

163
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 6: Well, one thing I've taken from the speculators is they

164
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: all seem to be in agreement that you are one

165
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 6: of the most loyal players to play the game of football.

166
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: So that's why they I think they forget and I

167
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: left Brisbane.

168
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 6: I know, but that's funny. They reckon you are so

169
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: loyal to West Coast that you won't.

170
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: Be going anywhere. I do love the football club, yeah,

171
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: I do love West Coast.

172
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: Okay, loyal now then, yeah.

173
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: But like all things, you know, you've got to respect yourself.

174
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: You got to respect that, you know, yeah, what you

175
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 5: feel that your worth is a player.

176
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: Exactly like everything.

177
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, it is a job.

178
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 6: And sometimes people do change their jobs, absolutely, and it

179
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 6: means that, you know, they move into state for a job,

180
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 6: or they do this for a job, and it's nothing personal.

181
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 5: No, no, And I think I think people and fans

182
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: and supporters are starting to understand that it's it's actually

183
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 5: a business.

184
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: It's more than it's business. Yeah, and it's your life, correct, Yeah.

185
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 5: And I think I think a free agency has sort

186
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: of changed people's perspectives on that as well. And you know,

187
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 5: players don't have a long sort of career. Generally, the

188
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: longest I think it averaged about four years. But you know,

189
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 5: players obviously they you know, they don't have a lot

190
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 5: of time and the money that we sort of make

191
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 5: as well over the course of our career post football,

192
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: you're not going to make that might sustained. Correct, Yeah,

193
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 5: I'm so I hope you'll understand that.

194
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: It's also I think they do.

195
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: I think I think people are starting to come around

196
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 5: now yeah, yeah, which is which is really good to

197
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,400

00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: Old school belief.

199
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,280

200
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: be coach somewhere and they go, oh, where's the loyalty?
