1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, right Daniels, Morning guys, Happy Monday morning.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Monday to you. For us, it's a happy Monday, not for.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Everybody, That's okay, Jesus.

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Now I wants to be at the bottom of the ladder.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: No, no, they don't. I saw today it's the first

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: time they've ever been eighteenth. So they've been last before, yes,

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: but now it's an eighteen team. It's a new stat

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: because when I heard it, I was like, wow, they've

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: never been last.

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure they finished last, yeah the judge.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in an eighteen team comp they've never been

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: last after any round, which is quite remarkable, isn't it.

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm on the flip side of it. I saw that

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: the most frequent spot they've ever sat on the ladder

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: after any round in their history is first. So okay,

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and this is where it leads. I think you've got

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: to take this sometimes, so Eagles fans listening out there,

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: it happens, Yes, it does. It sucks. This does suck.

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: It's going to be a tough road ahead. There's going

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: to be so bright spots here or there, but this

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: is probably going to take a little while.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: Now.

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: What I will say is this club has proven itself

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: two bounce back quick.

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: True.

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: The only time they did finish last for a season

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: was twenty ten and they made a prelim final the

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: following year. Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen again,

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: but you've got to show the faith, the good times

30
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: and the bad. That's how it works with sporting clubs. No,

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: you can't, so show your patience. Remember the guys. You're

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: trying to retire club champions a lot of these guys,

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: So advice that's there. You go, I've got purple blood

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: for three decades. Oh my goodness, But yes, that was

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: an ugly thingy.

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: What happened on Friday night.

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 3: That wasn't been great?

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Was everyone out with COVID again? Was it injuries? Do

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: we what can we put it down?

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Still a couple of injuries, Like they're missing Elliott Yo.

41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Tom Barriss came out just before the bounce with the

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: hamstrings train So they're still dealing with all that stuff.

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: But now you keep if you listen to any Eagles

44
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: press conference this year, he two words synergy, yes and transition.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: So transition is the word they're using instead of rebuilding

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: because it's kind of a sexier word right, it's transition.

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: It's nice and positive. Yeah, we're not blowing it up

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: on a path, it's a long path. And the other one,

49
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: as I said, is synergy. Now, the problem with that

50
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: is you need everyone on the park, you need to

51
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: be able to train together. They haven't had that. They've

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: got so many guys who have just been out in

53
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: out COVID stuff, injury stuff, whatever, so they haven't had

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: a chance to do that. Saying that that doesn't give

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: an excuse for that kind of performance. One hundred and

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: nine points at home, second biggest loss ever at home,

57
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: the first biggest loss, the biggest loss. Do you remember

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: that game where they're at Subi Oval and Geelong we're

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: up and about at this point Gelong we're all conquering

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: and they were up by so much the Cats that

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: BOMBA Thompson was eating a sandwich in the coaches box.

62
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: It's iconic. It's probably on YouTube. He was so relaxed

63
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: and comfortable in the fourth quarter he's literally eating a

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: sandwich Geelong. It was magnificent. So this is where they're at.

65
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: It's an ugly point, but everyone gets to it at

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: some point. That's not given them a past.

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: And the Tigers hadn't been that great until that had

68
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: but I saw seven seven goals.

69
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: They made the Tigers look for the world class again.

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: They did. They made them look like they're at their best.

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: So look, the problem is there's not really that many

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: people waiting in the wings to come in, so you

73
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: can't make wholesale changes when you've got this many issues

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: with personnel. We talked about that stat on Friday that

75
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: forty two players used. There's really no one else left.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: So it's a long run. They've just got to keep

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: trudging through.

78
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: It is Adam Simpson's.

79
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Sac I think he is. Yeah, he's got a contract

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: till the end of twenty twenty four, so you know.

81
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: And the way footy clubs are these days, they're pretty

82
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: tight with their footy budgets. They can't just go sacking

83
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: people and paying them out and hiring new coaches. There's

84
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: not enough money for that, and I don't think they

85
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: would do that anyway. This guy want a flag four

86
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: years ago. He's a proven coach. I know he's a

87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: players love him. They do love him, So I think

88
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: that noise is a little bit premature. I saw some

89
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: stuff over the weekend about some Eagles hierarchy looking for

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Alistair Clarkson. I have heard that myself. I'm not saying

91
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: it's incorrect, but I haven't heard that. So I think

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: just cooler jets a little bit on the Adam Simpson

93
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: hates because it's a bit n watch the short memory stuff. Yeah,

94
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: it's he's done some pretty great stuff.

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: So he may mention the word synergy, but they're not

96
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: pulling the plug on the path.

97
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Energy in transition. I guarantee you'll hear it every single one.

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: You'll hear it.

99
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Now drink every time to make it easier.

100
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're starting from nowhere. It does absolutely so.

101
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: The other end, the Dockers, they're not still second. They've

102
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: dropped a third, which I thought was a bit unfortunate.

103
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: But they were pretty amazing.

104
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: They were as clezy he sits here with a coat

105
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: hanger in his mouth, just a Cheshire cat. They were

106
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: fantastic and I'm not surprised. Look to be honest, going

107
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: to Geelong beating Geelong. I will never tip against the

108
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Cats in Geelong, right, So I sat there last week

109
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: and I think, well, as much as I want to

110
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: tip Free Mantle, Geelong and Geelong is it's a really

111
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: tough trip. Many teams go there and win. The Dockers

112
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: have done that. Mark this down is the moment where

113
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the AFL, the media, the supporters over

114
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: east went, oh, okay, hold on, the Doctors are actually real.

115
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: Without Seawan Darcy in the.

116
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Without Sewan Darcy, still no sign in that five and

117
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: they went and beat a really good team at a

118
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: place where it's half impossible to win. I saw that

119
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: piece yesterday where they had to walk eight hundred meters

120
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: from the bus to get into the stadium and they

121
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: were just getting abused the whole time by Cats fans.

122
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of stuff you've got to go

123
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: through on your road to a flag. Now I've had

124
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: a few Dockers people asking me, oh, the think it's real.

125
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about premierships when they're unexpected, and I'm

126
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: not saying the Doctors are going to win a flag,

127
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: But go back to twenty sixteen. No one thought the

128
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Bulldogs were going to win that year's premiership. You go

129
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: to seventeen, Richmond had been a basket case for the

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: better part of three decades and no one expected them

131
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: to win that year. They did it last year Melbourne

132
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: were unbelievable, but going into last year, no way. I

133
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: tipped them for the bloody wooden spoon. I couldn't have

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: more wrong. But no one saw any of those coming.

135
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: So what I will say to Freemantle supporters, including yourself,

136
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: Cleazy's enjoy the ride because you don't want to get

137
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: to the end of the season. Goss. I never thought

138
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: we could just enjoy it everything that's coming up, take

139
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: it on. Play the big teams, try to beat them,

140
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: and you just never know. And if you're organized, you're

141
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: the kind of person he likes to be organized. Maybe

142
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: you just start looking up those flights.

143
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, seventy people contact me in the last twenty four hours.

144
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to jinx it. Yeah, but

145
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to get to.

146
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: Isn't it free supporters They feel like they're jinxing it.

147
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: You don't want to get to August and go and

148
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: look on the Virgin or Quandas site and see the

149
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: flights are twelve hundred dollars. Yeah, so just something to

150
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: think about. But they were fantastic. Congrats to Justin Longmir

151
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: and his crew because yeah, and they're playing really exciting,

152
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: really fun, great to watch footy, and I think it's

153
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's great.

154
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: Did you see Clark's face, the gir who's come from Geelong,

155
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: he's the happiest man there.

156
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, and you know he was he wanted

157
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: to play for Geelong. He just couldn't get in that side.

158
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: And then he knows, he said yesterday, you knows how

159
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: hard it is to win in Jelong. Teams just used

160
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: to come there and crumble.

161
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: They didn't all of a sudden free. I look very

162
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: very quick. They do a lot of SI, especially the agings.

163
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: And that's there is that is crucial. Most good sides

164
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: out run and they have pace and attack.

165
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: They do have some COVID drama though.

166
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: They do so Rory Lobb won't play Friday night. They

167
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: play North Melbourne here on Friday night footy, so he's out,

168
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: which is tough because he's been in really really good form.

169
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: And also Matt Taberna is out with a hammy. So

170
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: there's your two main key forwards. Josh Tracy was pretty

171
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: good on the weekend and Jie Amos he's playing really well.

172
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: So this is the kid they took in the first round.

173
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: He's kicked I think eight goals in the last two

174
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: weeks in the Waffle and he's actually equal leading goalkicker

175
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: in the Waffle, so it's pretty This is the thing

176
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: when you're going well, you're going really well, and even

177
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: your kids are playing well. So long we were said

178
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: last week he's not quite sure he's ready yet. He

179
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: needs a big patch of form. But sometimes injuries force

180
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: your hand. COVID forces your hand. So there's some chance

181
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: we might see the kid this week. Okay, I'll ask

182
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: justin tomorrow night, but I think there's more likely we'll

183
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: just see Darcy come in and Sean Darcy maybe meet

184
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: plays forward. But yeah, you never know, you never know.

185
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: Very nice come out. What about the supercars because they

186
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: were back first time in three years.

187
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't had the supercars here. The big vates

188
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: out at Wanneroo. That was great and there was a

189
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of drama. So there's some massive crash yesterday Scott

190
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Pie he ran into the war at one hundred and

191
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: seventy five k's an hour. What it's nuts, all right,

192
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and he's fine. The car's not the cars in a

193
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: bad ways.

194
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to smash Pie, do you.

195
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: No, that's horrible, the joke calls was all all of it.

196
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: But he's good the cars night. As I said, will

197
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Davison beat six year drought. He doesn't want to race

198
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: the six year since he won Bathurst a long while ago.

199
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: He won it was on a penalty, but hey, he'll

200
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: take it either way. So yeah, some great racing out there.

201
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: It's great to have the v aights and the supercars

202
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: out there.

203
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: I want to do again a night racing on Saturday.

204
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just before you go, how's the Muga River

205
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: Pro trucking?

206
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Do you know what I love about surfing? They're so

207
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: chilled that it's like they get up but they go, ah,

208
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: the ways aren't good today. Let's just not surf today.

209
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,680

210
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: will be like, oh, well, deal with the small waves.

Speaker 1: But these guys are like, nadah, We'll wait till tomorrow.

212

Speaker 1: And it's just so perfect for surfers. They will serve today.

213
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: I believe.

214
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,080
