56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: it all the way through a pre season and in

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: the final game he got cut because Tony Lockett broke

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,400

00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 7: Yeah.

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,960

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: told me last year we were at this and Kilda

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: finals game at the mc GEN. We'd had a few

66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: beers each and he said, I try to have a

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: kid back when.

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: Cynical here, but there suddenly there doesn't grow family trees.

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: It kills brain cells and he gets two stories. Oh,

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: by the way, I should have mentioned this. Yeah, so yeah,

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: that would have gone all the way would have been

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: a contented was that breaking my leg?

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: VFL for box Hill and stuff and a few local

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: clubs around the area, so he did play quite well.

76
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess the eighty four pre season was

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: as bad as high as he could get before injury

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,200
