Incidentally, the season has reached its conclusion. 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: Let's just start with the fat that on Saturday night 12 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: at Opta Stadium, over thirty six thousand fans still turned 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: up and they clearly still have faith in their team. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 4: I know. 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: So that's that's a huge plus to take away from 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: a year like this. 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 4: It is it's been like that for a couple of 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 4: years now. 19 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I We've spoken about it a fair bit, 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 5: but we do have the best fans and regardless of 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 5: what's going on with the team and on field performance 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 5: and all that stuff, they just continue to rock up. 23 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 4: And they're the they're the. 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 5: Diehards, the light ones, the ones that really are the 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 5: ones that we love most and support us when things 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 5: aren't going well. 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 4: And I'm sure they'll be there when things are going. 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 5: Really well so, oh yeah, yeah, they're the diehards. 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 4: We love them and we can't thank them enough. 30 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: All right, Well, one hundred and eighteen to fifty one 31 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: against the Swans. The game did kind of sum up 32 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: the season the Eagles. 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, so promising. 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was like two or three goals 35 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 5: with five six minutes left and then they just went woshka. 36 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: All right, the door game line over after. 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: She went all right enough playing with them. 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, the arm wrestled. So look, it was it was 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 5: a bit deflating. I wish we could have finished on 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 5: better terms. Yeah, I thought we were the last couple 41 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 5: of week. We've been building in the right way. Obviously 42 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 5: the Doggies game was a little bit different. The score 43 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 5: line probably didn't say what we wanted from our KPIs, 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 5: But look. 45 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 4: I thought we're going in the right direction. 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 5: But to be able to let Sydney kick five six 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 5: goals pretty quick like that, that's yeah, that's deflating. 48 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: Is that a Is that very much? Obviously there was 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: a lot of inexperience, a lot of experiences off the 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 3: field this year, and that's been so much of the problem. 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: Is it a fitness thing? Do you think that you 52 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 3: just can't maintain four quarters that that's happened a numerous 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: times this season. What is it? 54 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 5: You know, I feel like I feel like fitness things 55 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 5: like an easy sort of throw it. There's probably it's 56 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 5: in my personal belief. I believe it's a combination of everything. 57 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: It's not just one. 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 5: So it's just so mental do you think massive massive 59 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 5: footy years a game between the years, and like, if 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 5: you're not coming off cooked in the left eggs and 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: cooked in the brain, like you haven't played a game 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 5: of footy, Like you have to make so many decisions 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 5: in a split second, because footy you just yeah, you 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 5: need to be in this position at this time and 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 5: that yep, And like it's yeah, if you're not thinking 66 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: your way through the game and you come off mentally cooked, 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 5: then you're not playing footy. So yeah, I feel like 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 5: there's an element of like, yep, there's sure you could say, 69 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 5: like there's there's fitness, there's understanding roles and executing roles 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 5: during game. 71 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: There's basic fundamentals. 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 5: Then there's fundamentals under fatigue and everything as well. 73 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: So there's it's a culmination of everything. 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: And we've made a lot about the loss of the 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: senior players that we had this year. And not to 76 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: make excuses, but that was another thing that was just 77 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: another like punch after punch after punch to the the team. Yeah, 78 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: to the what you said about, you know, between the ears, 79 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: to the just to the general sort of vibe. 80 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: Well, yeah it is. 81 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 5: And I feel like a lot of older players, players 82 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: that are probably paid and again we've spoken about this 83 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 5: a fair bit, but the players that have played over 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 5: eighty games, two one hundred games, they're kind of they 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 5: start to understand and get it, you know what I mean. 86 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: Things become instinctive. You can you can operate at a 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 4: high level under fatigue and you kind of know how. 88 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 5: It works and us and and you can exactly and 89 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 5: then you can start to help others when you're on 90 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 5: the field because you go, all right, well, I know 91 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 5: what I need to do in this instance where I 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 5: need to be I know that he needs to be there, 93 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 5: so I can help start to direct and get through. 94 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 5: So yeah, there's there's we've certainly missed that which has 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: been probably you know, sitting on sidelines. For me, it's 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 5: been frustrating as I haven't been able to help in 97 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 5: a variety of different ways. Physically, mentally and tactically as well. 98 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 5: So that's that's kind of killed me sitting on the 99 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 5: sidelines a fair bit, and I'm sure it has for a. 100 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: Lot of the older players as well. 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: What's the what's the mood like amongst the player? I mean, 102 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: obviously everyone's disappointed with the way it ended about, you know, 103 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: the season gone, but have people started looking to next 104 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: year or as the coach has he just said, guys, 105 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: just go away, have a rest and then we're going 106 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: to get stuck into it in pre season or is 107 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: there already? Is there optimism? 108 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always optimism for next year. But basically, yeah, 109 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 5: mini's Mini said that. Now that and we've got to 110 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 5: tell you meeting today, so that'll probably come up again. 111 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 5: But yeah, go away, refresh, recharge your batteries. 112 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: But when you come back, get ready. That's all. So 113 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 4: it sounds like, which is great. I'm looking I'm looking 114 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: forward to it. 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's talk about your predictions.
