Speaker 4: Yeah.

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: I'm surprised made after your holidays you don't have a

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: slight American accent actually break.

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you could imagine it. It'd be pretty easy

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 5: to pick it up. But I've adapted back to Australian.

22
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: Life, especially as you went to Texas.

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's all it's very strong over there.

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: Speaker in Texas, including the accents.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything is bigger, that's for sure. But it was

26
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: good fun.

27
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: The first big question this week has been hitting questions.

28
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the new way the season

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: has started? This opening round carry on.

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been interesting. Yeah, I actually don't mind it.

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 5: It's been It's weird not playing in the first game.

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 5: I feel like you want to jump into it. But

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 5: there was an element of it was nice sitting back

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 5: watching to footy and not feeling anxious about having to

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: go out and play yourself, and you get a feel

36
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 5: for what teams are doing. But yeah, I think it

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 5: was a good opportunity of the AFL talk to take

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 5: footy into the Eastern States, and yeah, I think they've

39
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: got good crowds and there was good viewership, So the

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 5: AFL will be happy. Doesn't really doesn't really affect me.

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: I'm just looking forward to get out that this weekend

42
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: and playing.

43
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah weird gold Coast the top of the ladder right

44
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: now probably might last long.

45
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll be enjoying that. I don't enjoy that.

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: That was the AFL's plan, you know, one of those

47
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: one of those places can go over the top of

48
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: the ladder just for a minute.

49
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way it goes.

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: So this year, are we going to see you in

51
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: the midfield full time?

52
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the plan at the moment.

53
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: I've done a full pre season there, so feeling confident

54
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: in my body and in my ability to play that position.

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 5: So I suppose I've always got the ability to go

56
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: down back if that's what the coaches need. But yeah,

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 5: it's good to have that versatility.

58
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a big year. What are the expectations.

59
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: What's the vibe at the club? You know, you all

60
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: the outside noise, you just block it off, I guess.

61
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, the expectations are to hopefully improve on last year.

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: And I think the good thing about going to this

63
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: year is it doesn't feel like there's that expectation that

64
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 5: there was last year. Last year, we obviously came off

65
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: a strong season in twenty twenty two, and yeah, we

66
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 5: didn't handle that pressure very well. And Yeah, there's a

67
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 5: feeling amongst the group that, yeah, there's not as much

68
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: outside noise in us, and I feel like people are

69
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: writing us off a little bit. It no one's expecting

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: big things, which which we don't mind because we're quietly

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: confident within the four walls.

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: We've been working away.

73
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: Really hard over the off season, and we're really confident

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 5: in where our games are. And yeah, we just can't wait.

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: I can't wait to get out there on the weekend

76
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: and yeah, show our brand.

77
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, when people started tattooing flag mantle on their bodies

78
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: the year before, it was like, no, this is going

79
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: to win badly because there's too much, too much pressure.

80
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Don't be going to kill a passion though yes, yeah

81
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: it's a sharpie.

82
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: You can't question their passion.

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Passion, but yeah, it does make the expectation too much. Now,

84
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: justin long you are, he's I hate it when there's

85
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: pressure on the coach before the seasons even started because

86
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: they're going to be out of contract. But this has

87
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: happened right now to him. But he And also there

88
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: was a report, I think it was a Fox Foody

89
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: report suggesting that players were fell up with this coaching methods.

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not sure where they've got that from. Yeah,

91
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 5: certainly within the four walls. Yeah, we're very happy with

92
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 5: our Jail's coaching and yeah, the vibe around the group

93
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: at the moment's really really strong. And yeah, we've had

94
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 5: a great pre season and Jail has been been fantastic

95
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 5: this pre season and I feel like his messaging has

96
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: been really strong and everyone's on the same page and

97
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: everyone's really looking forward to a great year. So yeah,

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 5: those reports that come through certainly not coming from inside

99
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: the four walls.

100
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: And yeah, really happy with where the clubs are.

101
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: He can block out that preemptive white noise around. You know,

102
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: his just ignores passports. You don't have to really twelve

103
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 3: months before it runs out? Can we not talk about

104
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: these things? Distract from the seasons?

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: Not much in the media at the moment, just yeah,

106
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: bake stories out and nothing.

107
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: But look at the royal photos too much? Yeah, handle

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: much news.

109
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: And it sounds like you put a lot of pressure

110
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: on yourself, so you didn't handle that pressure. I mean,

111
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: there was a finals win against the Bulldogs in twenty

112
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: two and then but you lose players to the caliber

113
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: of Day Monday after Glory's career Akers and these big

114
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 2: body players. That's a real changing personnel to start season

115
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: twenty three, wasn't it.

116
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it probably was.

117
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: And it's probably something that we used what felt like

118
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 5: we used as a bit of an excuse and we thought, oh,

119
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 5: we're a young team, like yeah, blah blah blah. But

120
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 5: we're trying to change change the script on that and

121
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: we want to use youth as an advantage and we

122
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: feel like we've got some really exciting young players.

123
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: Ji Amos.

124
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: We saw him kick forty goals last year and we

125
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 5: feel like that's going to.

126
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: Be our advantage this year. And yeah, yeah, you're right.

127
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 5: We did have a little bit of a turnover in players,

128
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 5: but we can't use that as an excuse. And yeah,

129
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: we want to come out this year and use youth

130
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: as an exciting factor and something that we can really

131
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 5: lean on, and we feel like that's going to be

132
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 5: our advantage.

133
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: Jamus has been in the weights room feeling obviously he's

134
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: a bigger man than he was six months ago.

135
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: He's very vague at the moment.

136
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: He's looking strong, larger, in charge and which we love

137
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: to say from our big k forward. So he's had

138
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 5: a great pre season and we can't wait to see

139
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 5: what he's going to do this year.

140
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: Next week.

141
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: So on Brisbane ad Opta Stadium this Sunday, Bounced Down

142
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: is at three point fifty. They did play in the

143
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: opening round, that nail biter as it turned out, they

144
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: went down to Carlton. Do you think they have an

145
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: advantage going into the game with one under their belt.

146
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: It's hard to say because we've never really seen this before,

147
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 5: so yeah, we don't really know, but we're certainly feeling fresh,

148
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: We're feeling excited and we can just control what we

149
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: can control, and that's bringing our brand footy in. We

150
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 5: really look forward to playing against Brisbane The obviously a

151
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 5: really solid outfit and it's a great opportunity to test

152
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 5: ourselves early in the year and we're feeling really optimistic

153
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 5: about the challenge.

154
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 4: And yeah, we're looking forward.

155
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: To Yeah, bit of aame, big Swagi's we'll be out there.

156
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: Sewan Darcy. With that injury, it's very unfortunate timing too,

157
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: isn't it.

158
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not ideal, butah for more reports the operation

159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: went really well and he's going to be back sooner

160
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 5: rather than later. So yeah, we saw Luke Jackson stand

161
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: up late last year and play some really good footing,

162
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: so we're certainly not too stressed. We know Luken play

163
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 5: some really good footing and he's going to have to

164
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 5: stand up and we look forward to it.

165
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: And what about Jeremy Sharp. Everyone's sort of awaiting his debut.

166
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: Could it be this Sunday?

167
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: It could be.

168
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not unfortunately I'm not selecting

169
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: the team. But he's had a great pre season. He's

170
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: sort of right from the get Cai put his foot

171
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: forward and he was really impressive. He's obviously a really

172
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: strong runner, and he showed that early in pre season.

173
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 5: And yeah, his application to learn our game plan and

174
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: immerse himself within the culture has been great. So yeah,

175
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: he's done everything right to earn himself an opportunity. And

176
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: we have to wait see.

177
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: How doctor Hayden Young's with us this morning.

178
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: Mate. We took calls on perks in the job, people's

179
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: jobs or family members.

180
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: What they had it was a footballertny perks? What comes

181
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: with it?

182
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: Do you get some boots handed to you occasionally for

183
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: very little what he got?

184
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but is definitely a perkle. I think the

185
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: best perk is the time off that we get in

186
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: our off season.

187
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: We had three weeks.

188
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: Over Chrissy, which is a pretty good per We obviously

189
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 5: worked very hard when we're at training, but yeah, three

190
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 5: weeks over Chrissy to spend time with family and friends

191
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: is the best perpose.

192
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: Do you get some tickets for family to the games?

193
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Your allocation of.

194
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we do, yeah, yeah, I think we have four

195
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: tickets each way to game, and we can request more

196
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 5: if we have more family, like for example, it's a

197
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: Melbourne game, I can probably request a few more. I

198
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 5: have more family there, but yeah, that's that's another great perk.

199
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: Having family at games and getting them into the rooms

200
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 5: after the game to celebrate wins is always good fun.

201
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: And at Chrissy time in the three week break, you

202
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: allow to eat anything you want or do you always

203
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: careful as to what you're doing.

204
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: You certainly can treat yourself.

205
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very I usually can't help myself on Chrissy Day,

206
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 5: but that's all right.

207
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 4: It's good to have.

208
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Balance on one day.

209
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, burn it off. Yeah, well that's the thing.

210
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 5: As long as you come back and in decent condition

211
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 5: and you can perform.

212
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: Then yeah, it's.

213
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: All a balance, okay. On Brisbane at Opter Stadium on Sunday,

214
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,280
