00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: Good morning, Eliott morning. How are you?

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 4: That's too bad?

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: That's the dream you said you will do. Now, the

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: loss to Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on the weekend does

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: mathematically confirm the Eagles will win the Wooden Spoon this year.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: I think that was already a bit of a given. Yes,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: but in the old mathematical stakes, it's the club second

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: in three years. And what is it fair to say that?

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: Not looking for excuses or anything, but is it fair

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: to say that all the club veterans not playing you know,

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: large parts, if not all, of the season, has had

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: a huge impact on the way this season has gone.

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: And I'm talking of you, she McGovern waterman Allan.

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have thought that.

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: Mean when he first took over, he's like, Okay, we've

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: got some older players we can work around here, and

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: you know, we can build the talent around that and

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: they can protect them a bit experience. We have not

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: been able to get on the park and help them out,

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: so that's been hard and frustrating, especially for me sitting

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: on the sidelines. I struggled a lot watching the boys

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: out there struggle. So that's been probably the most frustrating

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: aspect of it all. And I'm sure that all the

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: other boys that are injured, the older players, are in

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: the exact same boat. So we just want to help.

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: We want the team to get better, we want the

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: club to win games of football, and we want to

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: obviously do our fans really really proud.

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: But at the moment, we're struggling.

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, eighty three point loss, it was a flog under

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 5: the Demons and you you brought it up last week.

39
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: The last time you want to face Melbourne is when

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 5: they're angry after what happened.

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: The Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So look, we knew that

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: going in.

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just weren't able to execute, and that's the

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: frustrating aspect of it all. So yeah, look, it's it's

45
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: I feel like it's I've been saying the same thing,

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: you know most weeks that we just have been able

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: to execute a game plan and what we want to

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: implement for most of the season. So that's been Yeah,

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: that's been really tough, really tough.

50
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: It's been a rougher season for Andrew mccaulform as he

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: said that the players still behind him.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Mini's awesome. Mini is really really good. We

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: had a really good review yesterday, really honest one. So yeah,

54
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: some really good conversations coming from that, and hopefully we

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: can continue to improve.

56
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got a bunch of young blokes in that

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 5: squad who were copying it right now and they're going

58
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 5: through that kind of stuff. But you would imagine that

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: that will toughen them up very early. And perhaps i've

60
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 5: you know, they have way too much more than they

61
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 5: should have the reasons we're spoken.

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: That's the silver lining, I guess you could say from

63
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: it all.

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: But again, I feel like we've spoken about it a

65
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: fair bit and I'm hopeful that things will turn. But yeah,

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: you still need we need, you know, fifty to one

67
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: hundred games and a lot of these kids that just

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: haven't got there there yet at all. So the quicker

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: we can do that, and the quicker we can get

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: experience into them, which obviously doesn't doesn't happen without obviously

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: a few lean years of you know, playing football and

72
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: trying to understand that the pace of the game and

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: what's what's required and what's expected of them.

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: Things like that take some time, sadly, and.

75
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: I think fore or were in a similar boat, like

76
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: probably not as bad as what we were, but a

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, you know, a young team. Now

78
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: start looking at them, they're all around that you know,

79
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: eighty plus game mark and they're really contending for final football.

80
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: So hopefully we can get to that stage in a

81
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: couple of years time. But you know, if we can

82
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: bridge the gap as quick as possible, even better.

83
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: There's been a bit of criticism of the club indicating

84
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: plans to seek draft assistance from the AFL. Do you

85
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: think that's fair?

86
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: Ah, well, if you probably look at the amount of

87
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: players that we've lost, yes, But again, like that's not

88
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: my decision to make.

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: That's up to the AFL and for the club to

90
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: ask pitch.

91
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: But I think going off of what other teams have

92
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: gone through over there, you seasons and you know, a

93
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: couple of years of lean wins, you would you would

94
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: probably say that, yeah, we should be able to get

95
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: one but who knows. That's kind of over my head,

96
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: like that's the AFL and then the club sort of.

97
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: And you're probably glad of that. All right, you play Adelaide.

98
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 4: Now play football?

99
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah yeah, top versus bottom it.

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: Is, you play Adelaide. It off just on Sunday, bounced

101
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: down as three ten now. The Crows finished fifteenth on

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: the ladder last year. No one predicted them to be

103
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: sitting on top after twenty one rounds.

104
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: This year, not on top, but I knew that I've

105
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: had a feeling that they'd be very very good. Yeah there, yeah, yeah,

106
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: I had because last year they had they had a

107
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: really good stretch there and then they kind of fell

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: away and they just I think only just missed out

109
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: due to like a few things, I think a couple

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: of games, but some very good team.

111
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: Do you have a feeling they're going to be really

112
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: good this week out?

113
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah yeah. And when you're in like

114
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: I've been there before, and when you're in.

115
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: A groove like that, yeah, it feels like everything that

116
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: you do, everybody is aligned and everyone's in sync, and

117
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: it's it's you know, it's there. They're hard teams to

118
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: beat because they play their role. They are talented all

119
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: over the past and yeah they're fun to watch Adelaide,

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: they are fun to watch.

121
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: So it's going to be tough.

122
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: For us and they're playing someone else.

123
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be tough for us, but we're

124
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: up for the fire. I mean, we need to bounce

125
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: back off off last week.

126
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: So time to play tribute to a couple of your

127
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 5: premiership mats on the weekend, mate, I see.

128
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old farewell game. I'm sure there'll be what

129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: is it driving around in the Yeah, the old car.

130
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: Doing a bit of an on field Q and A

131
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: apparently just say their final fair world.

132
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, would have thought so.

133
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, look, it'd be good for for everyone to

134
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: get out of there and say thank you, mostly two

135
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: fantastic players for the football club dom.

136
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: Kicking that goal.

137
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: Gub just an all time probably one of the all

138
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: time players as well the football club as well. So yeah,

139
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: it'd be good to see everyone get down there and

140
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: wave them off.

141
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 5: They're both part of that epic never forget unforgettable.

142
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, stand it up.

143
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah Collingwood people sick.

144
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah it does well. That makes me very happy.

145
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: Watching it get down that affairwell these two on Sunday.

146
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: Bounced down is three ten gatest the top of the table.

147
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: Adelaide, good luck, cheers,
