1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Good morning, Elliott, Good morning. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 2: All right. 3 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Well it was a loss at Marvel Stadium to Carlton. 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 3: The Eagles had a really good second half, but unfortunately 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 3: it was that first quarter that probably determined the result. 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been speaking about it pretty much majority of 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 4: the year. 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: In our first quarters, especially away. 9 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 4: Have been costing us, and I think we can see 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 4: Tod eight to nine goals early, so that really really hurts. 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: You're playing catch up from there. 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Not a position you want to be in, 13 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 4: and not the starts that we're one thing at the moment, 14 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 4: but good sort of resilience for the boys to grind 15 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 4: it out, but too little, too late. 16 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 5: A rare request from a player. Charlie Kerne wants to 17 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 5: play the Eagles a third time this year because it 18 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 5: just keeps kicking bags ten. 19 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 6: He's very good on his day, isn't he? 20 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 4: He is? He is? And you felt sorry for poor 21 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 4: old Hofey, Yeah, having a line up on him just 22 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 4: because we didn't have any We lose TV early GOV 23 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 4: as well last week with concussion protocols, so poor old 24 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 4: Hoffey had to line up on probably one of the 25 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 4: strongest forwards and most informing the comp at the moment, 26 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, poor young kid had to try and do 27 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 4: his best. 28 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: So TV Tom Brass would have been playing on him, 29 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: but he was out with a shoulder. 30 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 4: How is he He's okay? Yeah, he seems a lot 31 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 4: better this week. I think he only just missed unfortunately 32 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 4: on the weekend, So I'd assume that everything going well 33 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 4: and he probably doesn't tweak it too much throughout the 34 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 4: week and he should be her up for this week. 35 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 6: Was that shoulder from when he was flying like Superman? 36 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: That was when he Yeah, that was when he landed weird. 37 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 4: I think really it was backed into him and he's 38 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 4: sort of gone the flipover, so landed funny on that and. 39 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: My next saw this morning, all I did was sleep 40 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: a bit funny. 41 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, don't you hate that? 42 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: I can imagine. 43 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, terrible. 44 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 6: That. 45 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: I just put that down to old age. Yeah so 46 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: do I. That's when you know you're roll Yeah. Yeah, 47 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: back is killing me. What did I do? 48 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 6: And you're twenty nine? Shut up? 49 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: Well almost there? Yeah, exactly. 50 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: Now the team I'm saying like ten players under the 51 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: age of twenty. When you stop to think about that, 52 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: that is incredible. It's amazing how quickly the team has 53 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: gone from one of the oldest in the. 54 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: Comp to one of the youngest. 55 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, that's true. 56 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 4: So yeah, we had a good chat about this and 57 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: I said the word exponentially and you loved it. I 58 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: do love when you gesse that in a sense, and 59 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 4: I still think that's the silver lining. I think that 60 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: we're going to fast track these kids and their experience 61 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 4: compared to probably if you filtered them through two or 62 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 4: three at a time. 63 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: With a healthy strong list. 64 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 4: I think that in the future these boys will be, 65 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: you know, so much more beneficial to the team, and 66 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: there'll be a lot more experienced than probably a lot 67 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 4: of fifty sixty gamers because they've been thrown in the 68 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 4: deep band early days. 69 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: Kids. 70 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: Take Red Bazo for example, he's nineteen years old and 71 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: he's a defender. In any other season he'd prob be 72 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: been you know, slowly nurtured into the team in the waffle. 73 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 3: But Harry is chucked in playing on some really experienced 74 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: hunted goalkickers. Is that could you know? Mentally, I guess 75 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 3: be too much at once? But how is he doing? 76 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: Is he handling it? 77 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? Everyone, you just want to play games of football, 78 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 4: especially as a young kid, and to be able to 79 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: get that opportunity you absolutely love it and thriving it 80 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: now being thrown the deep end against some of the best. 81 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 4: That's how you learn, as much as it sucks, and 82 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 4: it probably is a bit of a confidence blow early 83 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: on in your career. That's how you learn as quick 84 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 4: as possible. So you probably get a lot more out of. 85 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: Point long run if you reminder. As long as you're 86 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: reminded of that, Yeah, your resilience will be no doubt 87 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: pretty good. Yeah, exactly. 88 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: So that's that's the way that I'm looking at it 89 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: and trying to look at it pretty optimistically. 90 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: Encourage him to look at it. 91 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 5: The last few weeks ago. I mean a lot of 92 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 5: these boys are going to be very tired too. You 93 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 5: know what it's like when you're young and they played 94 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 5: extra food compet. 95 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 4: My first year in Brizzy, I remember I got through 96 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: halfway through the year and I was absolutely cool. 97 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 6: You were done. 98 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was cooked, and then played I think eight 99 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: games or seven games was the back end, and I 100 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: was really struggling. So yeah, it does as your first year, 101 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 4: it does come to play a bit the fatigue, But 102 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: I think as his second year and you get a 103 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: pre season under your belt, you know, you start to 104 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: build and you can go from there. But yeah, as 105 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: a young kid, it definitely starts to weigh in. 106 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: Now, Showy did his hamstring again. Judging by his expression, 107 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: it looked like it might be season over. It could 108 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: even be I don't want to say it. C However, however, 109 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 3: the West is reporting this morning he still hasn't been 110 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: ruled out for this weekend. 111 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: I mean, surely he has been. 112 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: I don't think. 113 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this weekend's probably out of the question. I 114 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: would have thought, depending on he's going to get a scan. 115 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: I think he had it last night, So you'll find 116 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: out the extent of what that is, most likely today, 117 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 4: and then we can go from there. Hopefully he's just 118 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 4: being a bit of a hypochondriact and we can. 119 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: Just Luke Showey a big silk. 120 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 4: Well, I'm hoping he's got this one wrong and that 121 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: he can be out there and play and he's just 122 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 4: panicked a little bit, and we can get him out 123 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: there and he can play a games. 124 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 5: When you've got history with an injury always playing on 125 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 5: your mind, massively, you can call it earlyer. 126 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: Go oh yeah, massively I've had a few as well 127 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 4: where yeah, you feel like you've done something more than 128 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 4: you have and you can't get a scam that comes 129 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: back with nothing and. 130 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: He's kind to laugh at you. Thanks mate, We're just 131 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: wants the whole scam for you. Yeah, exactly. So I'm 132 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 2: hoping that's the case. 133 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: But he seems to think that, yeah, there's a little 134 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 4: one in there, and okay, I'd like to think that 135 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: I'm right and that we can get him back out 136 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: there and it's nothing. 137 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: But we'll wait and see positive thinking. 138 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 5: Ball I was with us so the Eagles playing North 139 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 5: Melbourne at Optus on Sunday and might have got a theory. 140 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: Round sixteen the Eagles led Some Kilda by a couple 141 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 5: of a couple of goals and lost by eight points. 142 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 5: On the weekend, North Melbourne led Some Kilda and then 143 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 5: lost by eight points. I reckon because of those stats 144 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: this week will be a draw your numbers man, now, 145 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 5: not really? Now do you think I've cluck out? Both 146 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 5: teams lost to killed by eight points? 147 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 4: Well, I'm well, I'm going into this thinking that there's 148 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: a possibly there we can win this same thing. Last 149 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: week against carlm we'd like to go over there and 150 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 4: win gain footy, and I think that's our plan for 151 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: the rest of the year. We'd like to sort of 152 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 4: have a little launch pad going into pre season. We're 153 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: going to get a fair few players back as well, 154 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 4: which is good. So I think that as a you know, 155 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: as a team, that we should be up there and 156 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: competing pretty well, and we should actually try and go 157 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 4: for the win and of course come away with it. 158 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: You were the book his favorite last time I checked, 159 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: But when I just had a look, then it's not 160 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: the case anymore. 161 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: But you are very level the two teams. Yeah, it 162 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: is totally winnable. It is, But then again, don't want to. 163 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: Put the kibosh on it by saying, well, this is 164 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: the one that you know is totally winnable, and then 165 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: you know. 166 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
