1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Ninety six Airms Fremantle Dogger David Monday, mister Monday.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 2: Good morning, Yeah, good, thank you and thank you.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: It was very and welcome back to you too. Going

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: to be slotting back in his captain on the weekend.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: Well done, Yes.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: Thank you. It was a nice win. It was nice

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: to be back.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: Well, it was a great win because for a while

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: there it looked like you might not win and then

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: in the fourth term just ropped it home.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I just wanted to keep it close and interesting, but.

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: Always thinking about the fans pleasure exactly.

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to make it a good spectacle so everyone,

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: and I think we did that. So that was that.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Now we knew that the g ws were great and

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: a great team and going to provide a really great contest.

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: And sometimes, you know, it takes to the last pick

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: of the day, last quarter to break the team open

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: or the game open. And that's what we're able to do.

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Able to really get on the outside of them in

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: that last quarter and get some really flaw and ball

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: movement and yeah, luckily I guess kickstraight, which is something

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: that we've struggled to zoo in our recent history.

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, kicking points not premeditated day, of course, but there

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: was a great vibe in that last quarter and the

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: flow was beautiful.

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we really I guess that's what kind

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: of happened in games sometimes as the games we're on,

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: he sets in and the game opens up a little

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: bit and we're able to sploit that you through some

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: really hard work I think in particular from our half

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: backs and half forward to providing a different dimension for

33
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: us this year. I feel well.

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: Griffin log was great filling in for Alex Pears and

35
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: Will Brody is basically free from the Gold Coast has

36
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: proven to be quite the bargain pick.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: Up he had. He's absolutely flying, isn't he, Which, to

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: be honest, for us is not a great surprise. He's

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: come in over summer and he's really stuck to his

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: strength all summer and provided a really great contest and

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: really clean inside mid ball throughout the whole summer. For us,

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: then translate that into season is not a great surprise.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: It's a great reward for him and he's doing a

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: great job. Hopefully he can continue that on and it's

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: almost been a really beneficial scenario for all of us

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: because obviously he's priding a great role for the Premount

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: Football Club. But there's been almost an opportunity presented itself

48
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: to him with Nap not playing and myself missing and

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: Caleb missing at a bit. So yeah, that kind of

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: space has been provided for him and he go with

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: both hands and he's making done.

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: But Lisa mentioned Alex, can you see what happened? Did

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: he get injured? Was it in the warm up? Was

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: decided or was it well before the game? No, that

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: was a.

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: Carryover from the week before Alex had his ankle in

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: the derby, and so you sat the week was always

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: going to be a bit of a lineball tested to

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: see how it goes, and ultimately he didn't feel comfortable

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: to go out and compete one hundred and twenty minutes

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: in AFL football, so he made the call to have

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: a seat and watch on and yeah, Griff came back

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: in and that really awkward scenario all week where Griffs

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: was kind of out maybe back in and that kind

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: of thing. So that the mental preparation and diligence to

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: come in and perform his role the way he did

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: is he's really admirable. He did a really great job.

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: No, he's a pro You're young buck, isn't he You

69
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: made a podcast?

70
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah he is.

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: Now I've got no idea who this guy is, but

72
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't know who he thinks he is. Who was

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: pushing you around a bit in the third quarter.

74
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: That the cruise the big.

75
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: Rough Yes, yes, yeah, around?

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was that was a completely accidental albow

77
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: to the back of the head. Actually, actually he just

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: dropped me really quickly.

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: He he actually apologized to me four or five times

80
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: throughout the Yes.

81
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: I think he just had a bit of a being

83
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: read moment and really regretted it afterwards.

84
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because that's what you know with that dave,

85
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: You apologize if you someone he's apologized.

86
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: Okay, well, they do.

87
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Happen, but you don't take any to make a call.

88
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: You don't take any rubbish out there because you're not

89
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: a small lad. But you know, some times the apologies,

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: we find that quite funny for these competitive.

91
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: Base Yeah, no, it it was actually pretty funny. It

92
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: off and around the stopage you just quickly get I'm

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: so sorry about that.

94
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: The Gentlemen's Game, a few people were carrying on about

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: the free count, which was forty two to sixteen in

96
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: for his favor. But I mean, there's no point carrying on.

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: If you're generally first to the ball and not making mistakes,

98
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: you're going to get them, aren't you.

99
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think sometimes umpires obviously don't have

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: a mandate to make it an even free kick count.

101
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: I think they just pay what they see and that

102
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: obviously reflects the team.

103
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and willingness to get in to get the ball

104
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: to it. Our application area was really strong all day.

105
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: We were positive in the tackle count, positive in the

106
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: contesta ball count. Obviously in the free kick count. But yeah,

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: I just read Andy got ten free kicks four on

108
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: the weekend, which is ridiculous, right, So no, it's very

109
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: It was nice to be on the end of it,

110
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: I guess, But as I said, I think it just reflects,

111
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: you know, how we were going about our business on

112
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: the weekend.

113
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: Mate, just quickly, we've got to take it a little

114
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: bit of a break. But at seventy five percent capacity,

115
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: you would have thought there was seventy five thousand there.

116
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: When Drizzy just go kicked another goal and then that

117
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: paid tribute to his nan are pointing to this guy.

118
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: That was pretty sweet and I was bloody loud.

119
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a beautiful moment, isn't it. Capturing those

120
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: kind of emotional moments within AFL is you know, really touching.

121
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: And he's come in and played a fantastic role. He's

122
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: creating his own little pocket over there on that side.

123
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: He's kicked all these goals from and he's had a

124
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: few extra shots on the weekend, which we would have

125
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: liked him to center, but that's okay.

126
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: So he's done a really fantastic job. So hopefully he

127
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: can continue that on and be a really great player

128
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: for Free.

129
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Mental And Dave, if we said to you at least

130
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: and I'd said to you a few weeks before the season,

131
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: then after round four it would be us or the

132
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: free team third on the ladder, you would have taken

133
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: that when you're bed.

134
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. It's been in a pretty good start of

135
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: the season for us. We outside of the Think Kilda

136
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: game has played. That's a pretty good football I think

137
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 2: in particular on the weekend just go on. We're pretty

138
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: consistent across the four quarters. So I've been nice to

139
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: carry that falling forward.

140
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: It has been a really good start to the season

141
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: for you. And Nathan Buckley has labeled the Dockers, the

142
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: quiet achievers of the whole league.

143
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I would like to continue that. I wouldn't want continuing

144
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: that one on just to slide under the radar. Yeah,

145
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: with increased wins comes increased scrutiny and spotlight, I guess.

146
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 2: But we are more than ready for it as a club.

147
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: Have been too long outside of it.

148
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so. The Bombers this weekend matt at Marvel

149
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Stadium on Sunday two forty fifth. Town at the time

150
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: is the bounced down and the Bombers are never easy.

151
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: Though it was put up a good show.

152
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and particularly our recent history there against them has

153
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: been pretty poor. So we've had a couple of close

154
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: games and some that we probably should have won but

155
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: showed ourselves in the foot a little bit. So we've

156
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: been asked to get one on the other side of

157
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: the ledger and come home with the four points this week.

158
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: Well, as well as Darcy Tyker, Caleb Sarong and Alex

159
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520

Speaker 2: the reigns of control of the AFL for a long

173
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: time now and would feel I guess a lot of investment.

174
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: It would be more than just a job.

175
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: He's created so much in his time and CEO with

Speaker 4: So yeah, he's been He's been a fantastic CEO and

181

Speaker 4: really driven the IFL into a new era of success.

182
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,080

183
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: who takes over. I don't know if you've got any thoughts.

184
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: I reckon Brendan Gailee. I love Brendan Gailee. He's a

185
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,280

188
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: who do you reckon should take over from Gillan?

189
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well Brendan would feel the necessity of having to

190
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: be six foot ten as well Gil's chair and Gil's shoes,

191
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: I guess, okay, So yeah, I think the strength of

192
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: the RFL is there's a number of candidates that God

193
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 2: can throw and Andrew Dylan his heart and soul of

194
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: the AFL at the moment as well, and he could

195
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: really step into the shoes. So yeah, I think it's

196
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: in a really healthy position that it could be one

197
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: of a number of guys.

198
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,360
