1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: And Hoy from Channel seven News. Now the Eagles, well 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: they get a couple back, they do. 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: It's Sydney. 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, really good. 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 4: So they've come off the bar and they get Liam 6 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 4: Duggan and Tom Brass back, and then Youngster's Jack Williams 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 4: and Elijah Hewett also come back. But I guess the 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 4: big news is that Jeremy McGovern won't play. 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: Okay, he was suppose he was altered. Another setback for him. 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone got very excited. 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 4: So he was meant to come back from that hamstring surgery, 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 4: but they say he didn't pull up well after training. 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 4: It is a fourteen week injury and it has been 14 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 4: twelve weeks since. 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 2: He's done it. 16 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 4: So Simo was saying, we'll probably rest him for another 17 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 4: two and then he'll come back. 18 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 3: But I was I think everyone was very excited for Gov. 19 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: But surely the worst thing the Eagles could do right 20 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: now is bring back someone when they're not quite ready, only. 21 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: To have them gone for another six weeks exactly. 22 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 4: So I think it is safe for just to leave 23 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 4: him at home, let him rest up, get one hundred 24 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 4: percent right before they bring him back. 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 5: Then it also becomes that point of the season if 26 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 5: there's five or six games left. Do you bring players 27 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 5: back when you give them a longer rest, a longer 28 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 5: off season. 29 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 4: But I think, yeah, I think they will probably try 30 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 4: and bring yeah back. Yeah, if they're fit, they'll definitely 31 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 4: bring them back. But good news, Buddy Franklin isn't playing, 32 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 4: so yeah, so maybe they thought, okay, well, you know 33 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: he's not playing, we can probably relax just a little bit. 34 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 4: But interestingly, West Coast hasn't won at the SCG against 35 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: the Swan since nineteen ninety nine. 36 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: I know that was I was really surprised. That's that. 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really really long time. 38 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: It always really surprised me when I see that those 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: numbers in writing, I think we. 40 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 5: Really yeah, Keen Judge would have been coaching the Monday 41 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 5: nine somewhere. 42 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: It was topping the charts. 43 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, one more time exactly. 44 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: I haven't even had the severe Olympics yet. No, no, true, 45 00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: that's what I mind. 46 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: So hopefully they can win this weekend. I'm not too excited, 47 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: but Simo said they are definitely more confident than they 48 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 4: have been in previous weeks. 49 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 5: I how about Jack Waterman? Is he another eagle who's 50 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 5: been in hospital? With poisoning. 51 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: I know it's it says something in the water. I 52 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: don't know. 53 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: But so he was in hospital for nine days with 54 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 4: an infection. So he Simo he has been discharged, but 55 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: Simo said it will be a while before he returns. 56 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: So it's weird. 57 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: It's really bizarre thing. It sounds quite nasty. So he 58 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: will be. 59 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: Some kind of curse. 60 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: Feels a bit like it, doesn't it. Yeah, I know. 61 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 4: The things that like Jack Williams, who's coming back this 62 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 4: this weekend. He was out with a spleen that he 63 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: hurt at training. 64 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: So someone going to Hawaii bring back a tiki they 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't have brought back like what happened on the Brady bus. 66 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: It sounds like a Gillian Okay, Well the doc is 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: they're welcome. Well ming back a couple of big names. 68 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest is big man Sean Darcy. So he 69 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 4: returns against Essendon, which is a huge in long year. 70 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: Did say without him the team is just he doesn't 71 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 4: have that balance because as I kind of said on Monday, 72 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 4: he then you know, then Luke Jackson goes from the 73 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 4: forward line and is the soul ruckman. 74 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: It leaves Amos and Tracy. 75 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: Both young players to sort of fend for themselves in 76 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: the forward line, so that's a really big in. Michael 77 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 4: Frederick is he also is the other big inn. He 78 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: was the late out against the Giants with an ankle complaint. 79 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: Erasmus comes into the starting twenty two. He was really 80 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: impressive as the sub against g WS, so he's I 81 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 4: think yeah, earned his spot. Long Muil was pretty tough 82 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: at selection this week, so Driscoll, Sturt and Banfield have 83 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: all been dropped. 84 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 5: Can be cold and wet at the footing it opt 85 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 5: this mar. 86 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Are you going to brave? 87 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 5: It'll be there. 88 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be in the warmth of the club. Wres. 89 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: You're a perfect coaching in the room. 90 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 4: Don't You don't have a poncho and an umbrella and 91 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: get you suit on and. 92 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: That you're not. 93 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 4: I was picturing you out in the cold wearing your I. 94 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: Had done that. 95 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 5: I did that the Docs doc's first final when we 96 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 5: got beaten by Essendon. All teams long time she was coaching. 97 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, while ago James a she has to have another 98 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: week off. So he obviously had last week off with 99 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: concussion and now he's dealing with a back injury. 100 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: Longmill said, it's come out. 101 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: I know it has come out of the blue, but 102 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 4: it's something he's had before and he's recovered quickly from 103 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 4: so hopefully, but doccers, they need to turn things around 104 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 4: this weekend if they want, you know, to play. 105 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: In the finals. 106 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, just quickly before we go to break, We're going 107 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 5: to talk about the cricket and stuff. But the a 108 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 5: f L trying so hard to protect the heads of players, 109 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 5: particularly from tackles from opposition. 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: But what about Jeremy Cameron getting knock out by his 111 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: teammate roll. It was so bad. 112 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 5: It was like a light wasn't it. 113 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 4: It was really bad this photos and his face actually 114 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 4: looks completely distorted from from the impact. 115 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 5: Just completely accidental. Friendly. 116 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but they still won. They still want 117 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: to win. So but it's it's hard, isn't it. It's 118 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: a tough game, that's it. 119 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 5: Your teammates take out exactly. So we moved from foot 120 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 5: on the cricket and what a week it's been. 121 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the cricket. What a win by the Aussies. 122 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 5: Wonderful. 123 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 4: I think if you were watching the game on day 124 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: five and you wanted to go to bed, you wouldn't 125 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 4: have been able to be you just wouldn't have been 126 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: able to take your. 127 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: Eyes expected to get to day five. I mean, I 128 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: think so my solid Test. I thought that. 129 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: People were talking about it wrapping up in three days 130 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: when it started. 131 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was helped by England declaring before they were 132 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 5: all out and helped encourage everyone to have a crack. 133 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: And then the rain delayed things as well, so that 134 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: pushed everything. 135 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: About the ashes without a rain delay. 136 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, the English winter summer, it's like winter exactly. 137 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 138 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: So but yeah, the ossies said they're nowhere near their 139 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 4: peak yet, so that's exciting for the rest of the series. 140 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: Kuwaja was absolutely fabulous. He was Player of the match. 141 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: He made his first ever Test century in England in 142 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 4: the first innings and then didn't Pat Cummins rise to 143 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: the occasion as well. 144 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 3: He was outstanding. 145 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: He turned the game with his four for sixty three 146 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: in the second innings and then when he went into 147 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 4: bat they were chasing down seventy two. I believe I 148 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 4: can't find it in my notes now, seventy two I think. 149 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: And then yeah, I think a few people thought, oh 150 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: is it doable? And he did it. 151 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 5: He tail wagged. 152 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, really exciting. But minus Lavishane. You never remember how 153 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 4: I said. 154 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: He was top of the world Test batting rankings, Well 155 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: he is no longer. 156 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: We did nothing in that Test. 157 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 4: No, so he's been overtaken by Joe Route. Steve Smith 158 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: has dropped from second to six. 159 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: That was quick. 160 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, and both teams were fined forty percent of their 161 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: match payments for slow overrates. 162 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, that's quite a woating. 163 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 164 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: So players now get a three day break before they 165 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: go back and start preparing for the Second Test, which 166 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: starts next Wednesday. The big question is, of course the 167 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: bowling attack to start coming. Does Bowland get dropped. It 168 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: was the first time for Boland since twenty fifteen Bold 169 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: so he was hit for more than five and over. 170 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: So it was quite costly. 171 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: It takes some important wickets. 172 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: He did, so that's the thing. They have to weigh 173 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: all that up.
