1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Ninety six's own West Coast Eagle Elliot, Yo, Hello.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: Good, I'm good, all right, all right, well are you

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: still like it's been a couple of weeks. Now, Now,

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: let's talk about the weekend. The Eagles lost to the

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: Crows and Adelaide by thirty one points. The Crows booted

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: five unanswered goals in the first quarter, and the Eagles

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: were just really never able to claw back that score.

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: Not at all, not at all the first Our first

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 3: quarters are really costness at the moment. And you know, obviously,

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: as I said before, you know we'd have lapses in

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: games throughout probably the whole year. But to be honest,

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 3: in the end it's not good enough. We need to

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: get better, and we really needed to rectify our first quarters.

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: And after that, I'm pretty sure it was probably about even.

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, you won the third and fourth quarter,

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: but by then it's yep, the.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: Horses, as Susio says, not ideal idea, but yeah, look,

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: it's it's one of those things that we really need

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: to tighten up, and tighten up pretty quick. So we

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: start to look at that, then we probably keep ourselves

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: in games and we actually starts might look quite competitive.

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: So GWS game, they slam three or four goals quite

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: quick on us. You know, we caught it back, but

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: unfortunately it's pretty hard when you keep trying to call

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: callback wins.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: It is a big turnaround from the previous week, and

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: to be within three and a half goals at one stage, yeah,

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: he's got to look for improvement, you well, exactly.

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you know, if we hadn't given up

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: three or four goals pretty quickly in the first quarter,

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: we'd be in front and then all of a sudden,

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: that changes your mindset. Ye, scoreboard pressure could be a

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: real big thing as well. So being in front in

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: a game of football certainly helps.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: And it doesn't help to lose people either. Shannon hearn

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: was back, but McGovern was a late out, just when

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: you thought, you know, you were going to have him.

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: He was out with the backish from last week. And

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: so it's been a while since there's been Hearne, mcgovernor

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Barras all lined up in the back line.

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has been. It's been a while that we've

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: probably had a good stretch of games where majority of

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 3: you know, key players are playing. So look, it's great

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: that we're getting a lot of experience into a lot

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: of younger players who haven't had that before. But it's

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 3: also it's frustrating because you want, you know, your best

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: players playing as well at the same point in time,

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: so we can't just well COVID everything injuries. It's really

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: hard to get continuity within the whole sort of group.

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: And I think when you look back over the years,

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, three or four years ago, when we're playing

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 3: our best footy, we had pretty much everyone on the park,

53
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: we had no injuries. So the quicker we can get

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: to that, then the quicker we might be able to

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: be able to compete longer in games of football.

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gets busy because we were just talking about

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Windows injured as well. It Stundy his knee, which is unfortunate,

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: little fellows is bloody quick. Yeah, but what happens when

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: it gets that busy and rehab because the programs have

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to be rewritten for you guys as well.

61
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: Get some more staff on this.

62
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: There was one point there where the rehab group was

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: bigger than the main group, and it was yeah, we

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: were almost on the main track. Because you'd have the

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 3: rehab group that's over on the far side of the

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: of the you know, you have minimal reres and then

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: the other side, and the other side feels like a desert,

68
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: especially when you're when you're in the rehab group as well.

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: And that was almost the rehab group took over minimals

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: because the rehab group then there wasn't the main Almost it's.

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: Not funny, but it almost becomes like a joke, doesn't

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: it does.

73
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So look, it's frustrating, especially as an individual and

74
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: as a as a football club, you know, but we're

75
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: calling our way back duel.

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: All Australian Oldst. Kilder player Lee Montagna Joey Montagna, he

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: said the West Coast Eagles are the slowest team we've

78
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: seen at AFL level for a long long time. What

79
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: do you make of that comment? Because didn't some of

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: the players break personal bests for time during the pre season?

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: Is he correct?

82
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Is he?

83
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Well, it depends what type of context he's talking about.

84
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: Is he talking about you know, our two k time trials?

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 3: When you look at that at the start of the season.

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: I think that context is piles on you know we yeah, yeah.

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: We had fifteen or sixteen pbs and you pre season

88
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: for two k's. So yeah, if he's talking about top

89
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: end speed. I'm pretty sure you know, everyone would look

90
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: at Garvi and go, jeez, he's not that quick, but

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: he still runs thirty four thirty five k you can

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: clock it and get to the top.

93
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: Of their longevity. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

94
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: So there's like, yeah, I don't think I think it's

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: kind of just one of those sort of potshots and yeah, is.

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: There a little element of piling on to the Eagles,

97
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: who you know, have been consistently such a great team,

98
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: not having such a great year and these people just all, yes,

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: stack kick them all down.

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: It feels like it. It does feel like it. But again,

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: when you're losing games of football, and you're losing games

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: by the amount that we're losing him and the way

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: that we're losing him, you're open and also.

104
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: That criticism East Coast versus West Coast sort of just

105
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: enjoying it a bit too much, I think, I think.

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: So, yeah, and the fact that we're probably being a

107
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: very successful club over at an extended period of so.

108
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: But look, it's just yeah, it is.

109
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, when you lose games of football in the

110
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: way that we're losing him, you open yourself up to

111
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: that criticism. So the only way to shut him up

112
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: is the wing games of footing.

113
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: Start winning and winning four points. Taking a week at

114
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: a time. As we say, the old cliche is coming out.

115
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: That's it to a by weekend for the team. This weekend,

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: it couldn't it come soon? Stop and regroup for the club. Mate.

117
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Let us have a little breath.

118
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the nicest possible way, you know, that's all right,

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: keep back.

120
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: It comes from a place of just a little breather

121
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: from it all.

122
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully it's a good breath and we can use it.

123
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, reset ahead of Geelong.

124
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: Now there's a young fellow there who's been picked up

125
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: for mid season mate and his name is Kelly and

126
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: he's his real quality article, isn't he?

127
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

129
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: The last blow that we picked from danel On had

130
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: dreads as well, so Tom Lamb. So yeah, yeah, I

131
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: don't know what it is in the waters or what's

132
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: going on down there, but it's not but yeah, yeah,

00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: soon as possible or at.

136
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: This rate, yeah, why not?

137
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: He might get it quickly, Yeah, he's ready to go though,

Speaker 4: is in this kid? It's pretty good.

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: From what I've sayen and a lot of the highlights.

140
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: He actually looks like a very good play. So I'm

141
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 3: looking I'm excited about it. I'm looking forward to it.

142
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 3: Hopefully I can see him moving around the track today

143
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: and get to meet him.

144
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,400

00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: You got your jumper.

150
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: If you get a week from suspension, it'll be this

151
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: weekend's waffle game you'll miss.

152
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, little you can say it looks like

153
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: a naughty seven year old player under eight mate.

154
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: I'm waiting. I'm waiting the verdict right now, literally see

155
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: you unfortunately again, I'm waiting to hear the verdict and

156
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: then once that's sort of fold.

157
