1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Ninety six airms on What's coast Egor? Elliott? Yo, Hello Elliott,

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: good morning?

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: How are you?

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Got all right right?

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Are you all right now? The Eagles lost to the

7
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: Lines by seventy five points in Brisbane on Saturday night.

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: COVID and injuries hit the team hard again this week.

9
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: There were six changes to the team and as well

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: as that, the coach was out meeting, Matthew Knights stepped

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: in as head coach. Is that ever going to be

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: an easy transition to deal with?

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: Yeesh, It's never an easy transition at all, especially when

14
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: we're so limited on numbers and then the head coach

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: going out as well, So it's not an ideal sort

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: of situation, but unfortunately it's the nature of where everything's

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: at at the moment. So we just need to keep

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: sort of putting our best foot forward and trying to

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: regain our trust and respect that through the actions. Mate.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Maddie Delights was loving it though, because he's a ball

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: of energy and he was relatively up to the gig,

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: wasn't he.

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. I love I love not not. Yeah,

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: he's a midfield coach and just energy and the easier

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: as and that he brings to the group.

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 4: I absolutely love.

27
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: So I wish I was out there, and I wish

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I could be able to sort of, you know, play

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: at least a game or two under him without without

30
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: sort of being cast stor injured or something like that.

31
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: The result speaks for itself, but there is a bit

32
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: of a silver lining. The Eagles had a higher score

33
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: and conceded less points than North Melbourne over the weekend.

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: It could be worse.

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: It could be worse. Yeah, it could be worse. It's

36
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: improvement there.

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I sure, I thought watch the game really

38
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: close early. I thought the start in particular that first

39
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: quarter was pretty solid and it was you know a

40
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: lot of people we lose one hundred and fifty too,

41
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: hundred points some ridiculous. But it was a wet night

42
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: up there as well, so that probably helped to congest

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: things a little bit more.

44
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it looked like that kind of start anyway,

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: It looked like were keen To had a real crack

46
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: and you could see that in the contest anyway, regardless

47
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: of the conditions. So that's a mindset thing in you

48
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: can see that. So that's I guess the action that

49
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that people want to see.

50
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: Definitely keep getting a little glimmers of good stuff, though,

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: when you've got waffle top up player Jake Florenca from

52
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: South from Mantle having a great debut with the nineteen

53
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: disposal seven tackles and four clearances.

54
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: He was good.

55
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I thought he played pretty well.

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

57
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: It looked like he was in and under and getting

58
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: the ball out of fit bit so he was keen

59
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: to do the dirty work and I was pretty impressed.

60
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: It was Charlie Cameron throwing Tommy Brass's boots around. What

61
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: was going on there? Sometimes you see a player run

62
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: around looking for his boot.

63
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did see that. They look like they kind

64
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: of laughed it off a little bit and had a

65
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: bit of a joke about it. So yeah, I'll probably

66
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: just smuck around in the end, and I guess the

67
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: freakick was probably deserved. But that's probably about where it goes.

68
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing too nasty in it.

69
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you probably haven't said, Yeah, we probably haven't seen

70
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: that since the old Brucie Doll day.

71
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: Yeah that's right, Yeah, absactly, we're heading towards that point

72
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: where it's getting over reported and still being spoken about.

73
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: But the seven players who went to the hippie club

74
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: after a heavy loss during a pandemic made it's not

75
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: a great look. But the boys have been fined, Yeah

76
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: they have.

77
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: They didn't break any laws, but they breached club protocols,

78
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: which obviously we have things in place behind closed doors,

79
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: and you know, they broke them and it's disappointing their

80
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: guests given the circumstances and our availability challenges. So yeah,

81
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: not ideal, but unfortunately they've been handled with. Yes that

82
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I think it.

83
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: Was, so yeah, I feel as though the biggest concern

84
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: about them doing that would have been the whole COVID thing, Elliott,

85
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: because your team has really been hit hard by COVID,

86
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't be doing anything that might bring it in.

87
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well exactly. So it's it's I guess the nature

88
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: of where everything's out at the moment, and to go

89
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: on out there and you know with high risks sort

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: of you know, nightclubs and stuff like that definitely wasn't

91
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: on our protocols list. So unfortunately, Yeah, it doesn't look good,

92
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: and we'll just continue to support and educate them further

93
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully they learn through it.

94
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: But just quickly before we wrap up on that the

95
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: boys got fined five grand each but half suspended it,

96
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: right that is, yeah, yeah.

97
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: So I think that was in the statement yesterday, So.

98
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Okay, that hangs over them to the future.

99
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Right to the untrained eye, it might look a bit

100
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: like some of the players were already written the season off.

101
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: But is it. Do you think it's more to do

102
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: with them just being particularly young, which I don't see

103
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: is an excuse.

104
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: But some day I don't think it's an excuse, but

105
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: they probably just I guess the nature of where everything's

106
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: at at the moment. I guess they probably wanted to

107
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: last steam and even.

108
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: Though that's on an excuses, it is anyway.

109
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I can't really talk about their actions

110
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: and their thought process, so unfortunately it's disappointing. But we

111
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: need to move on now and we need to focus

112
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: on Melbourne. And yeah, basically I don't think we've written

113
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: it off at all, so we need to get better

114
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: and it's going to be an interesting sort of back

115
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: after the year.

116
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: I couldn't think of a worse club to play this

117
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: week than Melbourne, the reigning premieer is who are unbeaten eight.

118
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: It does feel a bit cruel, but it's a the

119
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: ultimate challenge, isn't it.

120
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it is, yeah, And I guess it's great that,

121
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, all the players that haven't sort of really

122
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: had an opportunity beforehand, they're also starting to.

123
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: Get a crack now, which is great.

124
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: And I guess to be able to be exposed to

125
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: the basically the best team and the competition at the

126
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: moment certainly is a big challenge.

127
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: They're very familiar now with Upta Stadium, they kind of

128
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: they have, they have a connection.

129
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: With it now, so that's absolutely they do. So. Yeah,

130
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: but that I guess going into the game that we

131
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: went back to that in Earl. You know, we've got

132
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: things that we need to focus on, and I'm sure

133
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: they're the same, and I.

134
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: Guess they have to plan that Mexicolan is going to

135
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: play the skipper and the champion ruckman. He's approaching one

136
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy games with all that experience in a

137
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: Premiership under his belt. But I suppose you go in

138
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: thinking he's going to play and see what happens at

139
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: this stage.

140
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you just got to I guess prepare

141
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: basically that all their players are going to play and

142
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: they're going to put their best team forward. So at

143
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: this point until you hear otherwise, we'll be.

144
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: Prepared for that time.

145
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: For the question do you think do you think you'll play?

146
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: Uh?

147
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't know yet.

148
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: We've got main training on Thursdays. We'll see from there.

149
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: All right, Well that's the question of you a bit

150
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: mate the last two years, so we apologize every time

151
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: in advance. Yeah, before you go the million Pause Walk.

152
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: You are an ambassador for the r s p C A.

153
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: It's always an exciting time of year, isn't it a

154
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: great event?

155
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

156
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely so yeah, I posted something on my social

157
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: media yesterday, so yeah, it's I guess it's a great cause.

158
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Every donation to the RSPCA absolutely helps all kinds of

159
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: all kinds of dogs and animals and the million Pausons

160
