1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Get mate.

2
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 2: How are you, Dave?

3
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Good morning goes. Yeah, it's going well, thank you.

4
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 3: Oh you sound tired, No, he's not. Are you tired?

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Following three children?

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 4: I'm always yeah.

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 3: That old chestnut. Free Metal lost to Collingwood by twenty

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 3: points in the semi final at the MCG on Saturday night.

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 3: Free Metal were goalless again in the first quarter. Well

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: Collingwood kicked four straight on outs and goals, and this time,

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: because it had happened so many times, but this time

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: the team was not able to catch up.

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, we again really let ourselves down. I

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: guess is how we started the game. And yeah, similar

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of things that have been rearing its head, I

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: guess all year, but particularly out of that Bulldog's first final.

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: We just went good enough with the ball in hand

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and some of our really basic stuff led to some

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: pretty horrible turnovers in really ordinary spots of the ground.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: So you colling was credit. They're really well structured well

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: as a nice team. At the moment, they played really

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: well and we just went up to it.

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a few mistakes made throughout the game day,

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: but if you haven't, you young fellow Walker had a

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: bit of a nightmare our first half. A young player

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: like that will learn from that and build from that,

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: because you know it must out there if you have

28
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: that pressure of ninety thousand people, you want to think

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: that he'd become a better player because of that day.

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's certainly the hope. It's unfortunately don't

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: guarantee those. So each one of our players in that environment,

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're really exposed to that kind of atmosphere

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and intensity for the first time in their RSL careers.

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: So hopefully each of them go away and have a

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: good thing about it, and you know, ways to implement

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: change and improvement in their games, and you know over

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: summer summer period that can be a really driving force

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: for them moving forward, always want to improve.

39
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: So it is career over now, Has it sunk in?

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: Not really, No, Probably won't sink in until next year

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: when they start playing again and you don't Yeah.

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, possibly, I guess. And the impact of it being

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: so immediate, you know, with the final you know you

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: lose him. And that's it. Coupled with, as closely said

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: last week, the rolling retirement that I've been expanding over

46
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. It's I guess it's dead and

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: the impact of the immediacy of it, but yeah, it's

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: still my boys asking me what I'm going to be

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: doing for a job every second and all that kind

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: of stuff. So yeah, it's pretty it's been a pretty

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: cool ride. It's pretty surreal kind of feeling right now.

52
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: He didn't see us upset as Hudson. Hudson, did you

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: say to him?

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just feeling some pretty big emotions at

55
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: the moment, obviously, And yeah, he was pretty upset that

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: we'd last, and he's hit big into numbers and all

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and they've been following the score

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: along and yeah, upset at the moment that it was

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: all over. And yeah, I think it hit him more

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: than it hit anyone else.

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: Mum had a few, quite a few tears on the

62
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: boundary right there at the end before you got to him,

63
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: And so that's probably influenced Hudson as well, if they

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: were sad together.

65
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: There, Yeah, absolutely, And they had to hustle to get

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: down there as well, so they was sprinting from their

67
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: seats up to get down there for that last little bit.

68
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: So it was nice.

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: I haven't there, what about got tears now. But she's

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: also got a list.

71
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: You're going to be busy, you're seeing that bunnies list.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely no, I can't wait.

73
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, we said Lisa did say, has it soaked India?

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: And we know what soaked in? Have a listen to this? Yeah,

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: the feeling your teammates now for the team, Let's love

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: you a little bit, Dave.

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was pretty special. I found a new way

78
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: to exit any place that I'm at at any time.

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, that was obviously pretty cool.

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: There was obviously a whole heap of our guys and

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: the staff there, and yeah, another actually footall club celebrating

82
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: end of their season as well. So it's a pretty

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: jovial kind of not which is great.

84
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: So not only do you end things in eighth place

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: for the most AFL slash BFL games played of all time,

86
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: you have never been suspended in that entire career. That

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: must be a small club too.

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm not sure how big that club is even.

89
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: Didn't Tim Watson even got suspended once? Didn't he? I

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: know he got reported?

91
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Did he get Yeah? No, I'm not be sure. Yeah,

92
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm not too sure. I know my nana mentioned it

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: to me. Actually after the game, very proud of me,

94
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: obviously particulous.

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, be careful of those Collingwood supporters, mate, they'

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: everywhere in your family.

97
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: Extremely impressive statistics with your grandmother.

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: But we're talking about when it will sink in, you know,

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: like where you're a hater of we always a hater

100
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: of the pre season and all that run and hard work.

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Or were you someone who really thrived on it?

102
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: No, I was never very good at it, so I

103
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: guess in that sense, I always hated it. But yeah,

104
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned I think maybe last week that it's probably

105
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: going to be one of my biggest things that I'll

106
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: miss in terms of just that really hard work over

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. And yeah, it's it is really physically challenging

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: and mentally challenging as well. But you know, out of

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: that you get a great sense of accomplishment and achievement.

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure there's going to be you know,

111
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Guss a full and Gus half in that kind of sense.

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: You're staying in Melbourne until after the Grand Final? Is

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: there more? Now? Do you do something on the day,

114
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: do you get a is there like a lap or

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: something that happens there is?

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the retirees get a little motivated laugh of honor,

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: which is really nice. I want to take all the

118
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: kids on that, which is really great. Yeah. So going on,

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: so and I go into the brown Low this Sunday different.

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

121
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: So it's a bit of dressing up and a bit of.

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: Ye, that's not about you, that's about sourd a couple

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 5: now and winning it. Of course there is that secondary,

124
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: but it's all about sales stress.

125
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: And we've gone through the nervousness and anxiety of getting

126
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: ready for dresses and the rest of that before. So

127
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: hopefully it's a smooth eye this year.

128
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: Hopefully enjoy it.

129
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: You've been like the Pope on Grand Final day, mate,

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: but you'll be in the Mondaymobile. They'll set it up

Speaker 1: Yeah. Boys are really looking forward to Insecure, so it'll

133
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: be great.

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: Hey, Dave, Christmas and all the silly season. What's the

135
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: one that there are certain things you'll be able to

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: eat and drink you couldn't in the past. What are

137
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: you going to binge on?

138
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm not too sure. I've always been fairly lucky

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: with diet and foods and things like that in terms

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: of yah. I happen to really tuck into a Christmas lunch.

141
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't have too much effect as long as it's

142
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: not Christmas and then Boxing Day and then the second

143
