Yeah, the eighteen teams and you know, 26 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: fans from every club, but I was thinking about you 27 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: driving in. I was thinking, jeez, how's YOWI feeling? You know, 28 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: Eagles are zero to five. You probably still three or 29 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 3: four weeks away from playing aas so they could be 30 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 3: I don't know, nine or one and eight or whatever 31 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: the finals, that kind of would be gone. 32 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 4: How do you motivate yourself? What you're just thinking about? 33 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: Come back and try to help the boys bring through 34 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: all the young guys that are coming in. 35 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 4: How are you approaching it? 36 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 6: It's pretty much how I think about it is just 37 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 6: how quickly can I get back on the park to 38 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 6: help the younger kids coming through. Yeah, it's frustrating to watch. 39 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 6: It's hard to watch because you know that we're better 40 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 6: than that, but we're just things aren't clicking at the 41 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 6: moment and that'll come eventually. Game plan, ball movement, all 42 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 6: that stuff. How we want to defend as well behind it, 43 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 6: But we need to get urgent real quick with it all. 44 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 6: And that's the frustrating aspect is losing by considerable amounts 45 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 6: and having a lot of critics pretty much open slatherin 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 6: to everything about the football club, which is the frustrating aspects. 47 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 5: You know, we're all no. One goes out there will 48 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 5: lose games. 49 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 6: Of football and we're all proud people and we're all 50 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 6: proud of the club, and unfortunately, when you lose like 51 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 6: we have been, you just open yourself up to any 52 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 6: sort of criticism and it's just frustrating because yeah, you 53 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 6: don't want to be in that position. 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: And you feel for the young guys. 55 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: Smiley I was saying to just someone that Brady Hoff 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: was speaking to the West Australian newspaper and he broke 57 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: down during an interview after the game, after the Carlton game, 58 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: because he's played in fifty eight games, he's only one 59 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: eight and half of the games have been more than 60 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 3: fifty point losses, and he was a huge Eagles fan 61 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: growing up and sort of you almost have to get 62 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: around the young blokes saying, oh, listen, boys, this is 63 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: a tough time, but you'll be better for this. 64 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 4: You come through the fire. That sort of thing. 65 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, you do, and we. 66 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 6: Do talk about it, but it's always hard to see 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 6: the light at the end of the tunnel, it is. 68 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 5: So it's how do how do. 69 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 6: You keep them motivated? How do you keep everyone motivated? Really, 70 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 6: So that's that's the hardest part when you're losing games 71 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 6: of football. 72 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, though, we have 73 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 5: the best job. 74 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 6: In the world, and boys still come into the football 75 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 6: club loving what they do. 76 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: So they don't have a beautiful daughter to go home 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: to sort of when she hugs it's not that bad, yeah. 78 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 5: Exactly, and that is that is fantastic. 79 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 6: I mean you do get home and like she's at 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 6: the stage now where she's smiling and giggling and she's 81 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 6: happy to. 82 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 5: See us, So that is yeah, that is. 83 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 6: It's there the moments that you cherish like a lot 84 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 6: as a dad, and it's the best feeling as well. 85 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 6: But in saying that back to football though, like we 86 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 6: we need to get urgent real quick with it, and yeah, 87 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 6: we still come in love and what we do, loving 88 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 6: the football club. We have the best job in the world, 89 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 6: and you know, we just want to try and make 90 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 6: our fans proud and happy. 91 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: One one silver lining the return of Jake Waterman and 92 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: Liam Ryan. I went, how good is Liam Ryan's kicking speed? 93 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: That lad? 94 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, very good and I think it's more so the 95 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 6: second and third efforts you probably saw as well throughout 96 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 6: the game. Now he's coming back off a few things 97 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 6: and you know, he might take a game or two 98 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 6: to get his full match fitness up as well. But 99 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 6: you remember that like he kicked that ball on that wing, 100 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 6: kept running like took off, fended off Sarde and then 101 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 6: just kept going. You know what I mean, the second 102 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 6: third efforts, they're the big things that I think you 103 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 6: can hold your hat onto a little bit. You know, 104 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 6: hutch rundown, tackle hunting as well. So they're the actions 105 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 6: that we kind of want to see more of. It's 106 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 6: just you know, obviously implementing those over the four quarters, 107 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 6: but we don't want to be defending and trying to 108 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 6: start our ball movement from the back half, so that's 109 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 6: the hardest part. 110 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: And the inside fifties it was seventy three to thirty five, 111 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: so you only had thirty five inside fifties. And then 112 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: I remember against the Suns you said it was ridiculous 113 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 3: losing the contested ball by forty three. Well, against Carlton 114 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: you lost it by fifty nine. I had seventy seven contests. 115 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: It's just the lowest in the recorded stat's history. 116 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you just don't have any opportunity to implement 117 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 6: what you want to do in terms of game plan 118 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 6: when you look contest the ball, and I think Mini 119 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 6: addressed at post game as well and said, you know, 120 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 6: we need to get real quick on you know, around 121 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 6: the contest and getting better at it. 122 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 5: But yeah, you know. 123 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: Dropping Tim Kelly did that work then? Or is would 124 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: you bring him? Would you bring him back? And not 125 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: just because he's playing Perth this weekend in the waffle competition? 126 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: Do you reckoning being TK back in a look, that. 127 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 6: Decisions out of my hands. That's up to Mini and 128 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 6: the match committee and all that. So for for whatever 129 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 6: reason that is, TK knows when he needs to work 130 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 6: on and what's expected of him, so that decision is 131 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 6: well out of my hands. But there is an aspect 132 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 6: of like, we do need to get some experience into 133 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 6: a lot of younger players, and from my feeling, if 134 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 6: it's you're not being able to fulfill your role and 135 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 6: play your role to the best of your ability, then 136 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 6: you know we'll try and play someone that will. So 137 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 6: that was my thought and sort of whole process of 138 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 6: what happened. But again I could be wrong. That's between 139 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 6: t K and Mini. 140 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: And Gov might be back there. That's a positive, isn't it? 141 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: Huge? Positive? 142 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: Massive? 143 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: If Jeremy McGovern comes back. That just yeah, steals up 144 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: the back line. 145 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 5: It does, it does. 146 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 6: But again, you know, you don't want to rely on 147 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 6: one or two players either. You know, you want to 148 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 6: be in it getting through it together as a collective. 149 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: So yeah, unfortunately, you know, we don't want to have 150 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 6: to rely on a really good players in order to 151 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 6: be able to win games. 152 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 5: To football, we want to do it together. 153 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 4: Because Smiley, you know what happens. 154 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: It's hard not to you know, talk negative in these 155 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: situations because the boys aren't winning. But things like Patrick 156 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: Cribs you see that take there, he got that kick 157 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: and then no one's still on the mark and he 158 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: just waltzed into the guy. Yeah, then the sort of 159 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: things that do happen when you're in experience, but also 160 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: when you're getting belted. 161 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 4: I know you're feeling. 162 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, it sucks, it sucks. 163 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 6: And again, as I said, no one, no one goes 164 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 6: out there deliberately playing bad.
