1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: Ninety six Airms Fremantle Docker David Monday, Hey David.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Morning the morning. Oh are you very well? Thank you here.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: It was a nice weekend for us and a great

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: weekend to be a part of football as ill, to

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: be honest, So yeah, it was good all round.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: Thirty five points was the win against Carlton Optus on Saturday.

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: Im burs clear with five consecutive goals in the second

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: quarter and never looked back.

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we feel like we're playing a pretty strong brand

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: at the moment, and we have pretty good alignment across

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: the board with all of our players and coaches on that.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: So we're still tinkering with it, still working away, trying

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: to make it more efficient and more consistent. But yeah,

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: we're pretty happy withouts gooing.

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: Were you surprised at that point, Dave, because the Blues

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: were pretty good early. That first quarter in particular was

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: very tight.

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. We knew going in that their trend this year

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: had been exploded out into great starts and really won

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: their games from really powerful first quarters on the back

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: of you know, some stoppish dominance and then bit of

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: ground position in their small forwards in particular, really getting

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: after the opposition and creating a lot of opportunities for them,

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: So a big focus was to nullify that through the

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: first quarter, which I think we went into quarter a

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: time four points down or something. So that was a

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: big tick for us, and from that stage we thought

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: that our game, if we were able to play it

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: the way we wanted to get on top and get

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: us the Chocky's in the end, which it did.

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: It was a lovely part of the Anzac Round celebrations,

32
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 3: the len Hall Round. The tribute to the ANZACs of

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: the game was very well done.

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always a really powerful moment. I guess that

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: taking effect before our game to recognize the Enzacs and

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: the lego did an amazing job. One hundred and three

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: year old World War Two veteran, he was amazing, to

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: be honest. It was really an emotionally powerful moment. So

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: it was nice that we could finally get him in.

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: He's been slated to read the ode for a couple

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: of years out but with COVID hasn't been able to.

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: So I'm really proud to be part of the Landhall

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: game each year that I am, and I think the

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: men will celebrate it really well.

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Yea club well mate. I was watching Blake Acres on

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: the half forward line. I said to my wife, I

47
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: said the Lauria. I said, imagine if he kicked a

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: goal from there, and then he did it was a

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: ball burster what not?

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: He was? Yeah, the sheriff. He's been very good this year.

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: He's taken over many aspects of you know, behind the

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: scenes at the football club is the playing group and

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: he's taking a big ownership within the group. So his

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: football this year has just been a reflection I think

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: of his confidence in himself and yeah, it's just the same.

56
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: Poor something like that was really lovely.

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 3: Good chance for a goal of the year. That one

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: we have to wait until the end of the year.

59
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: I supposed to the speedy small forwards round right. Sonny

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: Walter has found his form again with two goals and

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 3: Lucky Shultz returned from COVID and kicked three goals.

62
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was nice having walked back to compliment the

63
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: rest of the guys up there, and it's been a

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: strength of hours all year. I feel it is our

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: half forwards really applying a lot of pressure on their

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: position and creating a lot of space for us on

67
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 2: ball movement and just playing their role really well, and yeah,

68
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: Funny got rewarded on the weekend with some goals and

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: scoreboard impacts. But he's had a pretty good year up

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: until this point as well. He just hadn't been able

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: to finish. So it was lovely that he was able

72
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: to kick a couple of goals and one of them

73
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: being a hold holding the ball out of Chera, which

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: was nice.

75
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: But there was a guy at the footy club who

76
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: was the best first year player about four or five

77
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: years ago, and all of a sudden he's really blossomed.

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: His named Sam Switzkowski. Is he and usually strong for

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: a fairly wiry kind of guy, because he's got a

80
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: lot of skill.

81
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: To isn't he.

82
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's incredibly powerful and quick. Fam He's had a

83
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: really hard time with injuries throughout his time at the

84
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: club and I hadn't been up to get on the

85
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: park much until you know a little bit last year.

86
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: So he all the way through his time at Freeman

87
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: was showing those glimpses and you know, high lot of

88
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: the guests by the best first Year Flight had award

89
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: a few years ago. So it's nice and he's finally

90
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: been able to get some consistency and continuity with his

91
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: body and had a pretty good preparation coming into this campaign.

92
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: And yeah, what he's on the football field is just rewards.

93
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: I think a high praise from Gary Lyon, who on

94
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: the couch saying he watched on the weekend and every

95
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: time he looked at the game all he saw was pace,

96
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: break neck pace of blokes just chasing. I know it's

97
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: not the kind of thing that motivates you, but it

98
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: must be nice when people like Gary Lyon talk you

99
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: up for a change.

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I actually saw that. I was a bit

101
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: flat one of my whole I was going to get

102
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: into that pasty package. But go on, it's very As

103
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: I said, we have a really good compliment of that throughout,

104
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: particularly halfwards and half back on. I feel like we

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: can really stretch the game and catch up to the

106
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: game if we're falling behind the ball with those guys

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: in particular. So it's a strength and an asset that

108
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: we're trying to use.

109
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: And you see Travis Colly, they would have won in

110
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: the stall gifted at least, I reckon.

111
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: He's an absolute freak. Travis. If yeah, I'm just a

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: little ball of muscle, be the ideal person.

113
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I've we've said pre season five and one after round six,

114
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: you take that record, wouldn't you.

115
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: I'll be a bit flat with the one, to be honest,

116
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, we've been pretty happy with the starter. As

117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: I said, we've played some pretty good footage, so we're

118
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: trying to keep that going.

119
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Well, we love that you're second on the ladder. You

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: now flat to Geelong to take on the Cats. This

121
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: will be a bigger testing cart Geelong. In Geelong is

122
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: always tough.

123
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I think their record there speaks for itself.

124
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: There's been a really dominant team there for a long

125
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: time now, So there are a team and the club

126
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: that I think a lot would like to emunate with

127
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: consistent success and playing at the point end of the

128
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: season and really delivering in big games. So losto be

129
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: a change for us. We're really eager and looking forward

130
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: to it.

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: Well, there'll be no big huggy Bear Sean Darcy hugs

132
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: this week, mate, because you've got someone stepped on the

133
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: back of his head, which was his head handy.

134
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: Thank Sewan. He's the Oka and take it. Lloyd, makeel

135
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: come in.

136
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's put up from the game. Really well. Obviously,

137
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: the concussion and all all that space is a pretty

138
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: scary space, and you know he'll take his time to

139
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: get ready, and whenever that is, you know, we'll welcome

140
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: him back. But he was okay for the game. He's

141
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: a bit flat because he's from the Dong area, so

142
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: he wanted to go back and play in front of

143
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: his family. But yeah, I guess we're really fortunate. We've

144
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: got to back up like Lloyd who can flop back

145
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: in and really deliver for us, like we've already seen

146
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: this year. So exciting for him, exciting.

147
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: For I think Sean's got no poker face. He couldn't have.

148
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: No, he's yeah, caught him a big teddy bear before.

149
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: He's a big emotional teddy bear. Yeah, he's fierce on

150
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: the field, but he's really Yeah, he's really supportive and emotional.

151
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: Offer so we'll get around him and welcome him back

152
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: when he's ready.

153
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: Is a hamstring issue going to keep Matt tapping around?

154
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess possibly that won't be our deal. Tabs

155
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: is obviously running in a pretty rich frame of playing

156
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: a form at the moment, but we haven't made training today,

157
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: so that'll tell a clearer picture of it.

158
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: What about the young Tyros and half back man Chapman

159
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: and young Arey're going to come straight back in?

160
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: Do you reckon? It's not easy to get back in.

161
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's getting to be a good problem about

162
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: who do you drop to bring guys back in? And

163
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: they're clearly some of our you know, very very well

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: performed players this year. So I guess I'll just see

165
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: how they both transition out of being in covid io

166
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: for a period of time. Everyone's very different obviously in

167
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: that space. But and they get out pretty late this week.

168
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: I think they get out on Thursday. So yeah, again,

169
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: we'll just have to wait and see how their body react.

170
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: And then it creates a really great problem for the

171
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: coaches to deal with.

172
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: David, was it you that said all of a sudden

173
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: that five might become the sprinkles on top of the

174
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: cake instead of the cake itself. Nice analogy. You're like

175
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: the roomy of the a f L. What's what is

176
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: the latest on that? Justin Longmie reckons he might be

177
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later.

178
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that transition to a bit of running and

179
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: the rest of it last week, and that has responded

180
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: really well from that, and his body's really recovering and

181
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: I guess reactivating from his back surgery, so we know

182
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: how diligent that is and how much he'll push the

183
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: boundaries in he's recovering in rehab. So yeah, hopefully sooner

184
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: rather than later. Yeah, certainly be a nice little asset

185
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: and in addition to our team at any point in

186
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: the year, and hopefully that can be yeah, relatively.

187
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: Soon, and donate the cake, Dave, wait till July when

188
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: it is your birthday.
