1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Hell, I hated how are you going see?

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, when as a Green has made and after that

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: win against Sydney and when the Sydney Swans did their

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: usual thing and they didn't let you get away with

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: it easily. They came back and then the wind was

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: head by Frio. It was a good way of resisting

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: there there.

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: It was, Yeah, it was. It was a great performance

9
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 3: from the team. I think we showed a lot of

10
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: growth to not start too well, and we felt like

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: we were playing pretty good foot We just couldn't couldn't

12
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: hit the scoreboard. But once we got into our rhythm

13
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: and started playing our way, yeah, we got in front

14
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: and then they came late and we were able to

15
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 3: resist them and yeah, finish us the game really strongly.

16
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: So a positive win on the road and one to

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: keep the momentum up.

18
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: That's no doubt about it.

19
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: From what I'm told, it is quite a different shape

20
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: ground to what a lot of them are. Was your

21
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 4: first time playing there, how did you?

22
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: How did you feel on it? Yeah? It was.

23
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: It was a little bit different. It's a lot shorter

24
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: than Optus and the MCG and those sort of grounds,

25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: so we had to adapt to it. But it was

26
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: certainly a beautiful ground. I sort of loved playing there,

27
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: and yeah, it was the thing that was sort of

28
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: different was that one or two kicks and you're sort

29
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: of in your forward line exactly. Yeah, you can score

30
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: really quickly. You can also scored against really quickly. So

31
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: it was interesting and I felt like we dealt with

32
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: it really well and our forwards gave us a great

33
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: contest ahead of the ball, which which helped when we

34
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: were moving the ball quickly, we were able to win

35
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: the ball and lock it in our front half. So

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: it was an interesting ground, but I think we played

37
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: it well and obviously got the result.

38
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Team in sync, Yeah, that's right.

39
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could see it early on, especially those rundown

40
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: tackles that make such a difference to the game.

41
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Don't they.

42
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 3: Our forwards and our mids in particular brought really great

43
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 3: pressure and alped us to keep the ball in our

44
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: front half and give us a lot of opportunities. And yeah,

45
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: it was a big factor in us been obw to

46
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: win the game because, yeah, our forwards, even if it

47
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: wasn't a rundown tackle, Sydney under a lot of pressure

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: when they were kicking the ball, which meant that our

49
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: defenders able to win the ball back from rust kicks.

50
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: So it was a good team effort style.

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: Well, how about Sean Darcy, He received a perfect ten

52
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: from the AFL Coaches Association.

53
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: He had such a good day he did. Yeah, he was.

54
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: He was massive our means of probably having had a

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: great couple of weeks in terms of our stoppages and

56
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: getting field position from that. And I thought Sean led

57
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: the way on the weekend and we won clearances by thirteen,

58
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: I think, And it really helps on a short ground

59
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: when you can win it out of the midfield. It

60
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 3: certainly helps goes a long way to win the game.

61
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: And Sean played a really big role in that. And

62
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: he also just creates such a great contest early around

63
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: the ground.

64
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: And I thought him and all our tolls, Luke.

65
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: Jackson and Josh Tracy, Joe Amos, Brendan Cox, Alex Pearce

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: were all massive and fell off. We own the aerial space,

67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: and it meant that our smallest could go to work

68
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: if the ball hit the ground.

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: And Alex Pierce kept Buddy Franklin goldless.

70
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: He sure did.

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: That doesn't hurt, It doesn't hurt. Yeah, it was funny.

72
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: Withought he was going to get one and then he

73
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: played on in the goals he did.

74
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah it was weird.

75
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, so we got lucky there, but Alex

76
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 3: played a great, great job on him and yeah, he's

77
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: a pretty damaging player and to keep him goals is

78
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: a great effort.

79
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: Go back to Josh Tracy May the young fellow, he's

80
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: only really young. Still, big unit watched all of his

81
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: footy and that was his best game for the club.

82
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: He was not only takes six marks, we got a

83
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: couple of goals, but one of the marks was the

84
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: marks of the year. It was a bit that will

85
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: be great for his confidence.

86
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

87
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: We've known that he's had that footy in his repertoire

88
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: for a while and it's only a matter of time

89
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: before he got the confidence and could do it at

90
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: a consistent level. And it's great to see him putting

91
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: in great performances. It certainly helps the cohesion in our

92
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: forward line when our when our bigs are playing well,

93
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: and he had a great game on the weekend, so

94
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: hopefully he can keep the momentum up.

95
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: The win keeps Freemantle well and truly in touch with

96
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: the top eight. Is that something you try to just

97
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: temper in the back of your head, or does it

98
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: spur you one.

99
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: Or Yeah, you'll always take confidence out of winning games,

100
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: and it's nice to be moving up the ladder. But yeah, certainly,

101
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: one thing we've learned at the start of this year

102
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: is you can't look at the ladder too much and

103
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: you can't look into.

104
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Wins week at the time.

105
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: Had we done that early in the year, we would be, yeah,

106
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: stressing out a lot. So yeah, we've got a pretty

107
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: important couple of weeks coming up before our buy and

108
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: that's sort of what we've got.

109
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: Our eyes on at the moment.

110
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: If we can go into the buy in it in

111
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: a good position heading into the back end of the year,

112
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: we'll be pretty happy with.

113
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty big Gelong and Melbourne. But I wanted to

114
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: ask you list mentioned the SDG being different shape you're

115
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: a cricket over or a cricket fan, because what's it

116
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: like playing at the SCG and the MCG.

117
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. I actually was wondering that when I

118
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: was out there. I was how cool to be to

119
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: see Michael Clark make three twenty nine history. Yeah, yeah,

120
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: it is pretty cool, and yeah, it's such a beautiful stadium.

121
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: I remember when we walked out of the race, there's

122
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: like this beautiful garden and all these plants and I'm like,

123
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: you wouldn't.

124
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Get this anywhere else. Yeah. Cool.

125
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: Usually stadiums like concrete jungles and this is like just

126
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 3: this beautiful stadium. So it was Yeah, it was a nice,

127
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: nice place to play.

128
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 4: Doctor Hayden Young is with us now. It is the

129
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: Sir Doug Nichols Round over the next two weeks and

130
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: all the clubs are using their indigenous names, including Freer.

131
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Yes we are.

132
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: We're going to be referred to as wallul Up, which

133
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: is a great initiative.

134
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: I think we've seen it already in the league.

135
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: But Freo certainly has a proud history with our indigenous culture,

136
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: and particularly as a club and particularly in the Frio community,

137
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: we've got strong ties to will You're Up and the

138
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: Indigenous people, and yeah, it's great that we've been able

139
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: to change the name and bring it a part of

140
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: our footy club. And it's going to be a great

141
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: round when we get to celebrate indigenous culture in Freo,

142
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: and particularly this week with Alex Pierce, who's designed to

143
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: jump up along with Carlie Gray.

144
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a great celebration.

145
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: And you just said to us it's over two weeks

146
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: so that everyone gets to have a home game as

147
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 4: well as a way it's a two thirty five bounce

148
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: down for the game against Geelong on Saturday. Geelong always

149
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: a big challenge certainly.

150
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: Yes, we know when they play their best footy they

151
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: are very hard to beat. And I think, yeah, we

152
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: saw on the weekend that they are beatable though, so

153
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: if we bring our best foota which we feel like

154
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: we've been developing over the last couple of weeks, we

155
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 3: hope we can beat them and we believe that we

156
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: can so. But certainly going to post some threats and

157
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: they've got a dangerous forward line and they can.

158
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: Kick a bag of goal, so we're gonna have a

159
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: work cut out for us.

160
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do when you've got a team

161
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: like that who struggled against Richmond last week? They lost

162
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: the game last week, But you've got a great player

163
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: like dangerfield doubt do you make plans around him being there?

164
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Not being there?

165
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 2: Has it worked during the week?

166
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Thingk's out.

167
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: Certainly the midfield group would would look at scenarios if

168
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: he's in and out. Yeah. Yeah, with players like that,

169
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 3: you can occasionally go in with matchups or plans. Largely

170
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: when we play opposition, we just trust our system to

171
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: get it done. We don't put too much emphasis on players,

172
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: but certainly I know as a backline group, when we

173
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: have key players that our threats to us, we'll make

174
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: mention of it and we'll watch vision of their strengths

175
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: and what they do really well. And usually, yes, occasionally

176
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: someone will get a match up, but as a line group,

177
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: usually you try work together just to get it done

178
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: as a group. So that's something that all the lines

179
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: left to do this week with a few of their players.

180
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: So a chance we might see Travis Cole you're back.

181
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, sorry, Yes, he played in the Waffle on

182
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: the weekend and put in a great performance, so he's

183
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: put his hand up for selection and he's worked really

184
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: hard in his rehabs so it was great to see

185
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: him back out there on the weekend and he's going

186
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: to keep pushing for selection.

187
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: What's it like when you're in the third quarter of

188
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: a game and you're leading, like in Sydney, nice week

189
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: and you've got a dual brand law middlist sitting on

190
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: the bench. He's about to come on and have a

191
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: run around. We're talking about five F of course, it

192
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: must be unreal to have that weapon in your pocket.

193
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty rare.

194
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: A lot that come on, and I think over the

195
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: last two weeks we've seen him come on and make

196
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: an immediate impact.

197
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely in the game, which has been really promising.

198
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: And hopefully we can see him get some more minutes

199
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: over the next couple of weeks. But with the minutes

200
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: that he's had so far, he's been really damaging and

201
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: it's been great to see. He's obviously missed a lot

202
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: of football over the last couple of years, but the

203
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: fact that he's been able to come back and have

204
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: an immediate impact and be really damaging for us is

205
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: it really promising?

206
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Because Sydney midfield had a fairly rough day already and

207
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: then you see five I. He comes strutting out with

208
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: that physique and is like here we go.

209
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he's a big boy and when he

210
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: throws his weight around in there, he's hard to stop.

211
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: All right, Well, hopefully everyone's hard to stop this week.

212
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: Good luck, Thank you.

213
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Next week,
