1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Ninety six airms own West Coast Egle Elliot.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Yo, Good morning, Elliott.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 3: Good morning. Are you going all right?

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: How are you?

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 5: Well look, it wasn't the greatest Friday, not so much

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 5: a good Friday, not so good Friday.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Dodgy Friday was eaten by the Swans.

10
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 5: By sixty three points at off the Stadium. A few

11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 5: records were broken, unfortunately, not good ones.

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: It was the first.

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 5: Time the Eagles had been scoreless in the first quarter

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 5: in a game in w Way ever, and it was

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 5: also the team's biggest defeated optics.

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an ideal, was it?

17
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: It was an ideal? I mean, I don't even know

18
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: what I'm asking you. I'm not asking.

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: You questions like the share disappointment.

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 5: You were just sharing the disappointment. How how how did

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 5: the others feel after the disappointment?

22
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: Disappointed?

23
00:00:59,360 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: Disappointed?

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, look, it wasn't It wasn't ideal. You don't

25
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: go out there to lose games of football, and especially

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: in that fashion. So look, we do have a chip

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: on the shoulder from it. Obviously, we've done reviews, done

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: everything's pretty it's been pretty extensive. So we know what

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: we need to do to get better, and that's and

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: that's basically all we can do now. So we're going

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: to hit the track train what we need to do

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: basically to get better, and from that point on, hopefully

33
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: we can get it more. I guess we've had a

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: favorite of changes as well over the past couple of weeks,

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: so we can get more synergy in the team, then

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: hopefully that'll be a lot better.

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: What do you do a halftime mat But it's ten

38
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: ten to two goals and Kennedy's had great goal just

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: before halftime, But what do you what do you say?

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: What does the what do the coaches say? For the

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: different lines? And that it's a tough one, isn't it

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: a long one?

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: YEA? Well, different lines have got different things that they

44
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: need to work on. So I was sort of floating

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: between the backs and the mid line group, so there

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: was different messaging in both that it mainly revolved around

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: the contest. We just couldn't get a hands on the football,

48
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: and then when we did, we just weren't using that

49
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: that well either, So it was it was a fair

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: There was a fair bit of messaging in the end,

51
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: and you're trying to figure out what we need to

52
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: do in order to you know, at least try and

53
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: hit the scoreboard, and we did, I thought we in

54
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: the third quarter, we come out and we looked a

55
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: lot different to how we played the first half, but

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: they sort of, yeah, they sort of changed their attacks

57
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: as well, and it was hard to sort of catch

58
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: up from that point on.

59
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: You know how when you have a game like that,

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: everyone online's an expert.

61
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: Must be fun for you. Us.

62
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: A lot of people sharing a reoccurring opinion that they

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: think kids like O'Neill being dropped for older players to

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 5: come back is not a good thing, but they they

65
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: probably do need to remember that players need to play

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 5: matches to be match fish.

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: Is that right?

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: It is wrong. Yeah, there is such a thing as

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: match fitness, and that there is a there is a

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: gap between the Waffle and I guess the AFL, and

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: yes that there's nothing that can sort of compare. Unfortunately,

72
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: so as many games as you can play in the Waffle,

73
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: it's just it's not the same unfortunately. So the more

74
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: games that you can get in and the quickie that

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: you can get them into players and the quicker they

76
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: can get match fit, and the better that the team

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: will be for the long run. So yeah, Fortunately, younger

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: players and players that are sort of you know, on

79
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: the fringe, they sort of you know, they're the ones

80
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: that obviously the first one's out, So it's not ideal.

81
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: I thought, I played a very good game the week before,

82
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: and you know, it's I guess we're at that stage

83
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: now as a team where the younger the younger kids

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: are actually pressing, pressing for positions, which is great.

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: But early in the game I turned my wife, I said,

86
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Laurie said, I can't say number six out there?

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: Where is it?

88
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: You must have been a late to draw, right, So no,

89
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: all again, of course, and then I look at the

90
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: I had to go the app to look the list.

91
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: I got, well, he's been named. He's there, so you're off.

92
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: You're going to knock on the head, did you?

93
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: I did?

94
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: So I came on and the I started on a

96
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: bench and came on for about two three minutes and

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: copped a knock in the head and then got called

98
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: off pretty much straight away. The doc had to do

99
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: the whole concussion protocols and everything like that. So I

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: sat on the bench pretty much the whole of the

101
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: first quarterer and it was an ideal, And then I

102
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: was in the room and they had the TV on

103
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: in the docks room and I could just see the

104
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: score just ticking over, pick it over, tick it over.

105
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: Getting pretty frustrated from that, So it wasn't ideal, But

106
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: that's I guess that's what you have to do. Unfortunately.

107
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, silver lining Patrick Nash a later addition to

108
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 5: the list. He was again among the Eagles best with

109
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 5: twenty six possessions and five marks.

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: He had a very good game. I thought there was

111
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: still probably passages to play where we probably him, especially

112
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: that the whole team in general as well, we could

113
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: have used the ball a bit better unfortunately. So yeah,

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: I thought I thought he had a crack a game.

115
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: But there's obviously some things that we need to tighten

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: up and get better at as well. But he was

117
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: definitely a standout performer for most of us across the

118
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: four quarters.

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

120
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: Man, Nothing more frustrating, especially amongst COVID rules and the

121
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: rest of it, when Gov is in great form for

122
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden

123
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: he's out due to the has to do it the

124
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: COVID rule come in. But just a real shame not

125
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: to have him down back on the weekend.

126
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: He is.

127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll get him back this week, but we'll have

128
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: to wait and say the pentake pools up, and I

129
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 4: guess shared sometimes it can be a couple of weeks

130
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: to certain players.

131
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: Someone's there only a week. So we'll hopefully have our

132
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: fingers crossed and we can get him back as soon

133
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: as possible, because he's a bit of a general back there,

134
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: and he certainly helps I guess the team gets set

135
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: up and and I guess, being in all Australian defend

136
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: to read the play pretty well, so they're prett we

137
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: can get him back to better.

138
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: We were just talking about your frustration of being out

139
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: in the first and the concussion protocols on how did

140
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 5: you pull up?

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: In general?

142
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Though, yeah, fine, okay, but in the end, I don't

143
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: think I've played that many minutes either because of that,

144
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: So the body feels, like I said after after last

145
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: week's sort of conversation and how I pulled up, it's

146
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: it's I feel like, quite good. It's the sawness that

147
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: you want in the end. It's that you know, I'm

148
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: sure you saw, but it's the good sauce that you want.

149
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: So that's I guess that's promising.

150
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, when things aren't going that

151
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: well five rounds into the year and we've got the

152
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Eagles at one and four, people the experts all come

153
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, don't they, Elliott Elliott, five five.

154
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: Games they do. But it's the first thing, keyboards as well,

155
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: to tell you what you need to do in order

156
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: to win from games for so unfortunately, that's just the

157
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: reality of where we're at the moment.

158
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: Well, Glenn Jakovic says the club's premiership window has been

159
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: shut for at least five years. That's a bit of

160
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: a sort of a big call, down call.

161
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: It is a big call. I mean there's still seventeen

162
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: games in the season left and four years. Yeah, yep,

163
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: yep exactly. So once we get everyone back fitting firing

164
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: as well, I'm sure we'll share a different teams. So yeah, yeah.

165
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of club legends from that the heyday of the

166
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: nineties there with the premiership years. So Peter Summer's talking

167
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: about tough talks on the likes of the captain Luke

168
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: and the former captain Shannon and hernand JK as well.

169
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: He was brilliant with that second goal themselves.

170
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: That they're waiting for those talks, aren't they.

171
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so there's probably no great new news there, Eliott.

172
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, I guess not not really, especially with

173
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: the football club. You know, I guess when when we're

174
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: in this position as well, a lot of those conversations

175
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: tend to sort of happen, especially with the older players

176
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: as well, because you know, when there's talks of you know,

177
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: I guess the extendal noise of rebuilding and stuff like that,

178
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: that you know, they're generally the first to pop up.

179
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: So unfortunately, that's just the nature of where we're at

180
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: all right.

181
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: Well, now facing Port Adelaide in Adelaide on Saturday afternoon,

182
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 5: abouts down's two thirty five per time.

183
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: I imagine what it's like over there, because they are

184
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: indeed winless, yeah and angry and angry.

185
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, well yeah, I've had a very good

186
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: second half against Carton, so I thought they were going

187
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: to run over the top of them and come away

188
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: with the win. So I'm sure they'll be ready to play.

189
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: And there's always a good contest when we always play

190
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: Port over there, so it's going to be a good game,

191
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: it's going to be close and looking forward to it.

192
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Do you hear the feral fans at the adelaide over, Elliot?

193
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Are you're concentrating your you're doing on the field.

194
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 3: The only time you hear him is probably when you're

195
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: walking on and walking off when the game is on.

196
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: You don't, you're going to switch off. You're thinking too much.

197
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: You've got so much going on in the old noodle

198
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: up above, so you're thinking too much, unfortunately, and the

199
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: external noise, the white noise, is probably something you don't

200
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: really hear.

201
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: All right, Well, good luck in finding that line of

202
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 5: thinking a lot about it but.

203
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Not overthinking it. Of course ahead of the game this weekend,

204
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: Elliott

205
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: It's tough, but yeah, we'll find a way, yeah,
