1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Good morning, morning, Hayden.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: How are you not too bad? Bad? Feeling refreshed after

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: a week off and hopefully ready to go all right?

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Beaten by Collingwood forty six points at the MCG on Saturday. Look,

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: the Dockers were really competitive early this time. But is

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: it safe to say that when Collingwood kicked eight straight

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: goals in twenty three minutes in the second quarter, that

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: left you, I know, it left Clarsy shell shocked. Did

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: it leave you a bit shell shocked?

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: It did? Yeah? The team, yeah, because when I was

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: sort of watching from home, it felt like we were

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: on early in that first quarter, and I thought we

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: were really competitive and it was a good arm wrestler

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: in that first quarter, and then yeah, the second quarter,

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: it was just far from what we would expect, and

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: that they're such a good team that they can hurt

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: you if you're a little bit after and they did.

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: And then for the rest of the game, we actually

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: fought it out pretty well. We thought we sort of, yeah,

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: we're competitive, and it was just a real shame that

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: we let it blow out that much in this second quarter, because, yeah,

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: we thought we had some really good patches where our

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: intensity was up our pressure was good and we were

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: able to stay in the game. Yeah, it was just

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: that small patch that wasn't good enough.

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, maight, We've got a bit quite over here,

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: at least as used to it now. It's been a

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: disappointing a few weeks from where we were even earlier

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: in the year. After that win against Melbourne and a

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: couple of good wins, things can turn around quickly and footy,

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: can't they, especially on the injury side.

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, definitely, it has been disappointing and something

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: that we probably haven't been able to do is put

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: together four quarters of footy, which has been a sort

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: of a common theme. And it's really hard to win

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: games of footy when you have lapses in games and

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: teams are good enough now that they can score really quickly.

38
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, one thing we know is that when we

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: play our best footy, it certainly is good enough against

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: the best. Like obviously Colin woold are a really strong

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: team and we felt like out when we played some

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: good foot on the weekend, we took it to him

43
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: and we were competitive in the game. So we just

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: got to replicate that more often and play a consistent

45
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 2: brand of footy, and at the moment, that's the challenge

46
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: and that's the test, and that's the beauty about foot

47
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: is we've still got five more weeks to challenge ourselves

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: and demand high standards and demand that we played four

49
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: quarters of consistent footy, because yeah, although we've been disappointed

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: in the last month, there's still a lot of footage

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: to play and a lot of growth and improvement to

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: go and yeah, what's still an important season for us

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: as a young group to continue growing going forward.

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: The irony of that Collingwood, you know, being so experienced,

55
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: Freemantle really missed you, Sarong and Cox, So you did

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: indeed field the youngest and I suppose ago most inexperienced

57
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: team of the round. Yeah, well and you're playing Collingwood.

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose it's a It was a good test,

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: and yeah there is that. Yeah, there was some positive

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: to take from it, I suppose, And yeah, that second

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: quarter is something that we're not proud of. But yeah,

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: as you said, we're a young group, and yeah, we

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: want to be testing ourselves against those best teams because

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: that's where we want to be. That's where we want

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: to be playing against at the end of the year,

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: so obviously weren't good enough on the weekend, but yeah,

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: it's good that a bit of use getting experience and

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: hopefully we can build that over the last five games

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: of this season taken into next year, and yeah, you

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: get some get some games in some young players.

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you talk about the young players. And one

72
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: of those positives that you have to look at is

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: in recent weeks we've seen Henry play's best game of footing.

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: We've seen Rasmus on the weekend. Res was really good

75
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: on the weekend. Just play their best games of AFL.

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: It's always promising, isn't it.

77
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: It is it is, and these players have you might

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: not see it, but they've been putting a lot of

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: work on behind the scenes and down at Peel, Neil

80
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Rasmus has been playing a lot of really good footing.

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: The really promising thing is we're starting to see traits

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: that they've been taking from Peel and they're implementing them

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: in AFL, which is really promising because they've been putting

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: a lot of hard work in behind the scenes to

85
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: get their opportunity and it's really pleasing to see them

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: start to put some performances together. And yeah, Ras and

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Lamb have been really important and even Maddie Johnson's having

88
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: a great year and we're starting to see him develop.

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: And those players are going to be really important going

90
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: forward as we moved together as a young group, and

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: it's good that they're starting to play some good footy.

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: Primner, was it with a couple of injuries, Sean Darcy,

93
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Walker? What can you tell us about them?

94
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean at the moment, looks like it's gonna be

95
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: he's going to miss this two weeks and then that's

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: still of going to reassess from there. But yeah, he

97
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: looked like a little ankle role and Brandon Walker's done

98
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 2: a pretty pretty bad yeah, attending what's it called attendant,

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: So he'll miss the remainder of the year, and yeah,

100
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: we're hopeful that he's he's good to go in pre

101
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: season and right for around one next year. But it

102
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: was pretty nasty and we certainly don't want to see that.

103
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: But he's he was at the club yesterday and he's

104
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: in good spirits and he was getting around the boys

105
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: and everyone's looking after him so.

106
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: And he was in so much excruciating pain and sometimes

107
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: these it can be like that or that can be

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: the other way, which is weird. You see cat.

109
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked pretty nasty. I certainly had to turn away. Yeah, yeah,

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: and it wasn't good to seem a lot of pain.

111
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, he got looked after really well.

112
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah he got the whistle. You got the whistle pretty

113
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: early too, smiling in the rooms.

114
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw that. We were pretty happy about the whistle.

115
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we all needed the whistle. Second CD. Yeah,

116
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: it would have been tough for you to watch, it was. Yeah,

117
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: it was how docor Hayden Young is with us and

118
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: the Doc is fifteenth on the ladder playing Sydney this week,

119
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: and they got us in the corresponding game last year

120
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: and they mate even though we played pretty well, but

121
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: they got hold of us in the end.

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: They did. But hopefully that's not the case this week.

123
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: They've obviously been in some pretty good form lately. But

124
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: it's a good opportunity to get back in front of

125
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: our home crowd and play the footage we want to

126
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: play and hopefully get some four points and yeah, keep

127
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: going with the season.

128
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: And the Swans are only one ahead of Free on

129
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: the ladder, so that makes it very interesting.

130
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: It does. Yeah, it does. Yeah, they've sort of had

131
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: their challenges this year, but from the last sort of

132
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: month offoot, what we've been watching is a lot to

133
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: be back in some pretty good form. So we got

134
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: to expect that they're going to bring their best and

135
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: we're going to have to bring our best and hopefully

136
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: we can get the job done.

137
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that game last year, Buddy Franklin held, I think

138
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: it was goalless to get by Griffin Logo's gone to

139
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: North Melbourne. Of course, playing with you, bro, but who

140
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: plays on Buddy this week. He's always a challenge, isn't he.

141
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex Pierce will get the job on him. He

142
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: did a pretty good job on him earlier in the year.

143
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: I think he might have potentially been goald of that

144
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: game as well, So he's obviously can be a very

145
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: dangerous player. But yeah, Alex Pierce has been in great

146
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: form this year and always gets the best forward. So

147
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: he will have a crack on but I reckon and

148
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: hopefully we can support him as a back six and

149
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: keep him goalless.

150
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Caleb's wrong will be back from suspension. Michael Frederick is

151
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: a chance. And as for you, after we talked to

152
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: you last week, it came out that you had hurt

153
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: your ankle during the Carlton game. How are you?

154
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: I'm good. Yeah. I was hoping to get up for

155
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: that out and game, but the scans revealed there's probably

156
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: a been too much risk involved, so I had to

157
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: take the week off. But I'll train today, hopefully pass

158
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: all the tests required, and yeah, be good to go

159
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: this week, which will be good because I was it

160
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: was tough to watch last week and I'm chulling to

161
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: get back out there.

162
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: I made one nice a bit of a young player

163
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: who reckons is going to be a start of the game.

164
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: His name is he And how's Cheppie going? We haven't

165
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: seen a bunch of.

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't. He's going really well. He's had a

167
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: lot of challenges this year. He's sort of been He's

168
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: been close a couple of times and had a few setbacks,

169
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: and he is He's looking really fit, really healthy, and

170
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: he will be a test to play this week down

171
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: at Peel, I believe. So he's itching to get back

172
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 2: out there. But look, it's just great to see him

173
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: in a good mental space and ready to play some footy.

174
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: I think he's really excited about hopefully getting back in

175
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: the team and yeah, just playing footy in general, because yeah,

176
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: he's missed a lot of food this year and he's

177
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: a really important player in our team and we hope

178
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: see him back out there this week and hopefull he's

179
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: fly and knocking on the door of selection.

180
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Likewise, Matt Tabner is really pushing to get back in

181
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: as well, isn't he He is.

182
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been in a similar boat to Chappy. They've

183
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: been working hard throughout the year on their rehab and

184
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: he's ticking all the boxes. So yeah, he'll be a

185
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: test for selection this week and another really important player

186
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: for our team. So it'd be good to seeing him

187
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: back out there playing some good footy.

188
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe before we go, I just want to ask you.

189
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: We're talking about Buddy Franklin there when you're not so

190
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: much now, but at the start of your career as

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: a young player and you run at the park and

192
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: you're playing and Buddy Franklin's coming the other way, or

193
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Dusty Martin or these superstars of the game, what's it

194
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: like as a young player. Do you you switch off

195
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: and go it's just another player or is it quite daunting?

196
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: I think when you're in the game and the heat

197
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: of battle, you sort of don't really think about it.

198
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: March is just another player. But I suppose like pre

199
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: game or postgame, you sort of take a second to

200
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: think about it and.

201
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: You could not.

202
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they've certainly got an aura around him. Yeah,

203
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: and I spoke I sort of we're all experienced that

204
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 2: first hand when I sort of arrived at Freo and

205
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: we had Nat five. Yeah, it was sort of a

206
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: bit of an aura. And then you get to know

207
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: him and he's sort of just normal bloke, and yeah,

208
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: it is cool when you come again, says sort of

209
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: legends of the game really, and you sort of pinch

210
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: yourself a little bit. But yeah, I suppose once the

211
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: balls bounce, it's just another player and you've just got

212
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: to do your job and play a role. But I

213
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: suppose after the game or pre game, it is pretty cool.

214
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right.

215
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Well, Josh Tracy, who's been quite the shining light for Freo,

216
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: so you'd be happy that he resigned a couple of

217
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He said the club is not dwelling on

218
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: any losses. So on with an upward for Sydney Swans

219
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: at Optus this Saturday night, Bounced Downs at five point forty.

220
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: Good luck, thank you, good even match. That one good

221
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: to see and hopefully Claires you'll be all right. I'm

222
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: relying on you barometer yes, for Claires's welfare on the

223
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: Monday morning,
