WEBVTT - Barra's Bits - Do It For Joy!!

0:00:03.140 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Coast Eagles fans. All right. The Eagles season is over.

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.940
<v Speaker 1>We're not in the finals. And so I'm about to

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.090
<v Speaker 1>say something that will make you feel a bit uncomfortable.

0:00:12.090 --> 0:00:15.910
<v Speaker 1>But I reckon we should, let's get behind the Dockers.

0:00:16.610 --> 0:00:18.970
<v Speaker 1>Come on, let's do it. Yeah, I've said it. I'm

0:00:19.030 --> 0:00:21.410
<v Speaker 1>a former West Coast Eagles player. I've got Ben Cousins

0:00:21.489 --> 0:00:24.700
<v Speaker 1>on board. He's going to do it as well. Two

0:00:24.770 --> 0:00:28.580
<v Speaker 1>former Eagles saying, go Frio. I know you're thinking Barra's

0:00:28.620 --> 0:00:31.610
<v Speaker 1>lost his mind. But actually, what has Frio done to us?

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>That has been so terrible. Existed. Oh, that's what it

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.729
<v Speaker 1>is to, you know, die hard. I know, but there's

0:00:41.770 --> 0:00:45.130
<v Speaker 1>the Demolition Derby. That was pretty ugly. And some of

0:00:45.150 --> 0:00:47.230
<v Speaker 1>their fans are a little bit feral, you'd probably say,

0:00:47.310 --> 0:00:51.350
<v Speaker 1>I suppose you'd say. Excuse me? But, and they call

0:00:51.409 --> 0:00:54.570
<v Speaker 1>us the Chardonnay set, you know, so, but they haven't

0:00:54.590 --> 0:00:56.450
<v Speaker 1>won a flag in 30 years. And I was with

0:00:56.490 --> 0:00:58.910
<v Speaker 1>their banner group the other day, their banner crew, and

0:00:58.930 --> 0:01:01.190
<v Speaker 1>they were building the banner for tomorrow night. Mm-hmm. And

0:01:01.250 --> 0:01:03.070
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing it for 30 years. There was a

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.820
<v Speaker 1>lady there, Joy, beautiful lady.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.100
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of crepe paper.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I love banner ladies. They're so, yeah. I know. And

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:13.020
<v Speaker 1>she started when she was 63. Oh, no way. And

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.900
<v Speaker 1>now she's 93. Oh, Joy. So come on. Do it

0:01:16.940 --> 0:01:21.149
<v Speaker 1>for Joy. Do it for Joy. Oh, my God. Come on, please.

0:01:21.230 --> 0:01:22.630
<v Speaker 2>If for no other reason, do.

0:01:22.550 --> 0:01:26.270
<v Speaker 1>It for Joy. It's only a temporary arrangement too. You know,

0:01:26.290 --> 0:01:28.290
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to change your Facebook profile to a

0:01:28.330 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>purple anchor or some of that. You don't even have

0:01:30.330 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to buy a scarf. Just go, come on, Frio, a

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.940
<v Speaker 1>couple of times, then you can have a shower. No,

0:01:35.020 --> 0:01:37.009
<v Speaker 1>I think you choose a team and you stick with it.

0:01:37.620 --> 0:01:39.690
<v Speaker 1>You have one team and that's it.

0:01:39.810 --> 0:01:41.930
<v Speaker 2>Should we organise some protection for you when you leave

0:01:41.970 --> 0:01:44.370
<v Speaker 2>the building at about 8.30 this morning?

0:01:44.390 --> 0:01:48.090
<v Speaker 1>Let me just... I'll finish my argument because I just

0:01:48.110 --> 0:01:49.850
<v Speaker 1>want you to think about this. All right. What is

0:01:49.950 --> 0:01:54.190
<v Speaker 1>really the alternative? A Victorian team winning the premiership? Imagine

0:01:54.230 --> 0:01:57.130
<v Speaker 1>having to spend October watching the Cup going up and

0:01:57.190 --> 0:01:59.330
<v Speaker 1>down Melbourne, you know, parading through Melbourne. It could be

0:01:59.350 --> 0:02:02.780
<v Speaker 1>on the Cappuccino Strip. Might be in Brisbane.

0:02:03.060 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Might be in Brisbane.

0:02:03.700 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Brisbane or Sydney. But imagine it was down on Fremantle.

0:02:07.180 --> 0:02:10.060
<v Speaker 1>Can't you watch the finals with just, you know, as a,

0:02:10.260 --> 0:02:12.899
<v Speaker 1>you know. Without a team to cheer for? No, I

0:02:12.940 --> 0:02:16.580
<v Speaker 1>think we're all West Australians. I think it's time, a

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.459
<v Speaker 1>short-term alliance, a bit like Coke and Pepsi getting together

0:02:19.540 --> 0:02:21.620
<v Speaker 1>or McDonald's and Hungry Jack's, whatever.

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.029
<v Speaker 2>Batman and Superman. Some people are happy to just sit

0:02:24.050 --> 0:02:25.489
<v Speaker 2>there and let football be the winner.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.860
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well. How's that for a pleasure? Well, how about this?

0:02:29.220 --> 0:02:34.450
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow night, Eagles fans, tomorrow night, just start gently. Start gently.

0:02:34.470 --> 0:02:36.930
<v Speaker 1>When the free kick's a goal, just sort of, you

0:02:36.950 --> 0:02:39.070
<v Speaker 1>don't have to jump on your couch. Golf clap. Yeah,

0:02:39.150 --> 0:02:41.730
<v Speaker 1>or just nod, just go, yeah, that's pretty good. No,

0:02:41.750 --> 0:02:43.020
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll throw up in their mouth.

0:02:43.300 --> 0:02:45.579
<v Speaker 2>I think there'll be just a lot of Eagles fans

0:02:45.620 --> 0:02:46.820
<v Speaker 2>watching Better Homes and Gardens.

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.139
<v Speaker 1>Oh. Be quiet. No, they'll be barracking for Hawthorne. Be

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.140
<v Speaker 1>quietly proud. You know, West Aussie team has done it. Actually,

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.300
<v Speaker 1>we've got Peter Bell here. I asked him. Don't barrack

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.260
<v Speaker 1>for Hawthorne out of spite. No, but that's what they do.

0:03:00.470 --> 0:03:03.950
<v Speaker 2>Of course they do. Well, you see the stickers. I

0:03:03.990 --> 0:03:07.550
<v Speaker 2>follow West Coast and whoever's playing Fremantle. And vice versa.

0:03:07.790 --> 0:03:10.090
<v Speaker 1>Well, you do. Are there stickers like that? Yes, of

0:03:10.150 --> 0:03:12.630
<v Speaker 1>course there are. That's a disgrace. Of course there are.

0:03:12.710 --> 0:03:16.150
<v Speaker 1>I asked Belly about this. He was very profound.

0:03:15.470 --> 0:03:15.990
<v Speaker 2>About it too.

0:03:16.010 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Here we go.

0:03:16.330 --> 0:03:18.350
<v Speaker 3>It's an interesting one, Barra. I think there'll be an

0:03:18.389 --> 0:03:21.430
<v Speaker 3>element of West Coast fans who will get behind the

0:03:21.450 --> 0:03:23.590
<v Speaker 3>other West Australian team, and that was probably the same

0:03:23.690 --> 0:03:26.770
<v Speaker 3>during West Coast halcyon days. And then there's, I suppose,

0:03:26.790 --> 0:03:29.389
<v Speaker 3>some fans at West Coast who there's no way they'd

0:03:29.430 --> 0:03:32.130
<v Speaker 3>be supporting Fremantle no matter what. So I imagine there'd

0:03:32.150 --> 0:03:35.110
<v Speaker 3>be a fairly healthy percentage that will be getting behind Fremantle, but...

0:03:35.310 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Totally understand and respect if that's not your thing as

0:03:37.900 --> 0:03:38.900
<v Speaker 3>a West Coast Eagles fan.

0:03:39.380 --> 0:03:41.300
<v Speaker 1>Come on, we're all West Aussies. I heard you little dig,

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Halcyon days. I heard that face. Which Eagles fans would

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.690
<v Speaker 1>say at least we had them. He did slip one in. Yeah, see,

0:03:49.710 --> 0:03:52.270
<v Speaker 1>we've got four flags. They haven't had one in 30 years.

0:03:52.290 --> 0:03:55.370
<v Speaker 1>Think of joy. Yeah, let's do it for joy.

0:03:55.430 --> 0:03:57.310
<v Speaker 2>I reckon that's the motivation right there.

0:03:57.390 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>It's for joy. And all that. purple crepe paper, 30

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.420
<v Speaker 1>years of it. And if they go out in straight sets,

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.350
<v Speaker 1>then we can go back to not liking them. Do

0:04:05.370 --> 0:04:07.990
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? No, I'm joking. Let's get

0:04:08.030 --> 0:04:08.410
<v Speaker 1>behind it.

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>You do make a good point. Come on, Eagles fans.

0:04:10.740 --> 0:04:12.540
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure everyone will be on board, but I

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:13.270
<v Speaker 2>think you make a good point.

0:04:13.290 --> 0:04:14.450
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they care if you are or not.

0:04:14.470 --> 0:04:15.350
<v Speaker 1>People driving off the road.
