1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Right going beautifully. You know who's not banging. 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 2: At the moment, that football team. 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: My first question is this, Cleare are you comfortable right now? 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 3: I'm okay because I didn't let the lid. I left 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 3: the lid on. 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: What was more ahead yourself? I was more asking because 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: it's raining outside. Are you the same as your team 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: and you just really can't stand the rain? Can't perform 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: the wet. It's really quite a concern. Two weeks in 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: a row they have come out in wet, wet, sloppy 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: conditions and they have not been able to do what 12 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: they like to do. They became a really clean, sort 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: of fast moving footage side. It's really difficult to sort 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: of play that almost perfect style of game in the wet. 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: We heard two different coaches, Justin Lommeer and Craig and 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: Cray speak after the game yesterday. And I heard in 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: the news you played some of Justin Lomeo say they've 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: got a marginally ahead of themselves. 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: So you can't do others marginally. 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, you cannot do that at all. And he's right, 21 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: But also Craig McCrae, he said as soon as it 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: started raining, when they were in the warm up. He 23 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: was like, great, not because of Frio, but because these 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: Melbourne teams they love that weather. They trained it all 25 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: the time. Unfortunately we can't replicate it over here. 26 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: Often put the sprinklers on it. 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: COVID a couple of tricks you can do the training 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: This morning. 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Well, I was going to drag them out of head 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: as an investigative journalist, I've done my research. Last night 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: I was like, I just can't sleep until I figure 32 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: out what's going on. So I went down to Cobur 33 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: and I was ruffling through all the bins and I 34 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: found this little booklet and it was said it said 35 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: rules for dealing with the Dockers. And the first rule 36 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: that I read was never exposed them to bright lights, 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: which is why they've never played Friday night footing. It 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: makes so much sense. The second rule was never feed 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: them after midnight stranger things, and the third rule was 40 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: never get them wets gremlins jokes aside. They've got Melbourne 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: this week. This is a big task and we thought 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: looking forward, we'd be like, right, Gold Coast Collingwood will 43 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: win those games. They'll go into this, they'll be nine 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: and one. It'll be the game of the year. Instead, 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: they've stumbled twice. And the early prediction for weather in 46 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Melbourne or Saturday. 47 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: It's rain, right, the Gremlins winter sport. 48 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it is a winter sport. 49 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: And JL said that last week, you said, this is 50 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: the footy We've got to play in the weather. It's 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: that's what it is. So it's a test. It's the 52 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: best possible test for them, the best team in conditions 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: that they haven't played well in. In some ways, the 54 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: freo hierarchy will be excited about this because it's like, right, 55 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: let's let's truly test the metal. I still believe. I 56 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: think they've just had two bad weeks. You do every 57 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: now and then you can have those. Yesterday was pretty 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: pretty pathetic. 59 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the decision making is totally different to 60 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: three weeks ago. Yeah, but they play Melbourne then Brisbane. 61 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: The following Melbourne and then Brisbane, so a couple of 62 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: massive games, big tests. 63 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: All right across town. The Eagles are setting new lows 64 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: for themselves. 65 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. I just did the research on this. I did 66 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: write that, and it's true. So two things have happened 67 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: so far that have never happened before. So yesterday lost 68 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: by fifty two I think it was fifty three. Over 69 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: fifty six games in a row, they've lost by fifty 70 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: or more. That's never happened before in the in their history, 71 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: in their entire history since nineteen eighty seven, that's never 72 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: happened before. 73 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: It's a long time. 74 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: This is also the now one to nine. It's their 75 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: equal worst start to a season ever with nineteen eighty 76 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: nine when they were training at a paddock. Was good, 77 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: but it's actually the worst because if your total up 78 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: those nine losses from nineteen eighty nine, in the first 79 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: ten games they lost by a total of two hundred 80 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: and fifty seven, it's five hundred and fifty four, which 81 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: is almost double. That's the amount they've lost by in 82 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: their total losses this year. So it has literally been 83 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: a history making first ten games for West Coast in 84 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: all the wrong ways. We know why, you know what. 85 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: The injuries have been huge, the COVID's been huge, plus 86 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: some guys have been out of form as well, so 87 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: it's really been a perfect storm of disaster for West Coast. 88 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: So but I guess all the teams are in the 89 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: same well. 90 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: They are to al agree, West Coast have copped at 91 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: harder than anybody else it's been It's been a combination 92 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: of things, but there is a lot of obstacles for 93 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of teams, and at the moment it's been 94 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: really ugly. 95 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: The kick thirteen goals of something yesterday, which is really. 96 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: Rare in some ways the last two three weeks. If 97 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: you're really looking hard, you can find positives. You know, 98 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: they scored well yesterday. They just couldn't stop the stop 99 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: at Adam Simpson said, this is new, like this was 100 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: a new thing. They're sort of finding these new little holes. 101 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: Getting personnel on the field is the biggest issue. 102 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: Guess who's injured. 103 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Really, this really bums me out because I really like 104 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: Luke Shoey. He's one of the best, literally one of 105 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: the best dudes you'll ever meet in footy in general. 106 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Even if he didn't play footy, he'd be a great guy. 107 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: It's a shame he got subbed off very late. And 108 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I looked over that vision. I poured over it to 109 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: try and find the spot where he got hurt. He 110 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: came off. It was no hamstring issue, as Adam Simpson said, 111 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: which is a relief, so it was back tightness. They 112 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: got a long flight, all that sort of stuff. My 113 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: understanding is it's not a serious issue. It's more of 114 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: a hey, the guy was feeling a bit sore. We 115 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: don't take a little bit old. 116 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: He's on old thirty one. 117 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: We don't take any risks with Luke Showey. Right, that's 118 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: the first game back Runner it was. He's he's played 119 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: five this year, so he really hasn't been able to 120 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: put a stretch together and it's been that way for 121 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: a while. So look, hopefully he can get it right. 122 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: It's starting to look like he can't. But hopefully that 123 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: was just back tightness. They can work him into it 124 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: and he can play on Saturday against the Western Bulldogs. 125 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, it doesn't look good. And just on Elliott 126 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: last week, we talked about him like you're playing waffle. Well, 127 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: the message for me was if he gets through Friday, 128 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: he'll be fine and he'll play some waffle. Now he didn't, 129 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: so you guys can put that to him on Wednesday 130 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: and say, well you're going to play. What's going on there? 131 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: Because I think maybe it was just a precautionary thing, 132 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: like shwey, they're just being very careful, which is a 133 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: good thing, I would say. 134 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: Be said, sure, he was done at thirty one, they 135 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: wouldn't the champion. 136 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: Player, Yeah exactly. I mean he's done a lot on 137 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: the footy field. When Norm Smith medal, his captain decided 138 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: he's he's done. Had a great career and I don't 139 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: think he's necessarily done. But they have to get these injuries, 140 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, under control. The other one on the Eagles 141 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: before we move on, is Oscar Allen, as we know 142 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: now shut down for the year. No surprises there really 143 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: hadn't played, was you know, starting to look like he 144 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: was he was done for the anyway, and they've just 145 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: sort of nudged that along. 146 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, two forgotten teams they were firing all of 147 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: a sudden. 148 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I did think Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs. 149 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about Port, but the Bulldogs I 150 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,119 Speaker 1: am sure they're firing now and bad news to the Eagles. 151 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: They played them this Saturday night here up to stadium. 152 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: They've won three of their last four and of course 153 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: they made a Grand Final. They lost it here. Maybe 154 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: there's some demons who knows they turn up and you know, 155 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: I didn't even mean that as a demon accident, but 156 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: they'll be here Saturday night. There is still a really 157 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: good side and I think they'll play finals. The other 158 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: team that is clearly moving up New pointed this out 159 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: Lisa before we started was Carlton. They're just flying along. Yeah. Sneak, sneak, 160 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: sneaky beat the Swans. Yeah, so they're going really really well. 161 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: They've ever got a sneaky theme they do. 162 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: I like their theme. 163 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. And you wouldn't want to be playing Richmond right 164 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: now either because they were looking the goods all of. 165 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Richmond going well.
