0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Ah, get a mice in my head. It said I'm

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>too sick.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Goodbye. Now.

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's enough to get a copyright

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>claim or whatever, but YouTube. Let's jump straight into the

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>fan questions. There's plenty of them. Loved getting them. Thank

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>you to everyone that's sending a fan question. Legends and

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>we jump off the top because we got the hard

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 2>hitting questions everyone wants to know. One's from Adrian Addie.

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>What size bed do you sleep in?

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I get this all the time. Actually, California King, I

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>think is the American terminology, but here it's called like

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a super king.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>That's a big boy.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Actually I want it on like the Footy show, and

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like a temper. It's like a ten twenty thousand

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars better or something ridiculous. It doesn't fit in any

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>other room, Like it is so big. It just like

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you think about the gaps of the room, like walking

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on the side of like the bed. You have to

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>shimmy sideways to get past the bed. That's how big

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's absurd. Well, I love it because I

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>just like lay starfish fully, just like out cold, and

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>none of my extreme these text touched the edge.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 3>That's wolde.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't want to get into the King single.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Is that longer or wider or like you know, if

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you're starting at King single.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I don't have a single bed single.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>The beds get longer, yeah, you.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Do, like the super I think whenever you put super

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in front of it gets longer. King is longer though than.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 3>The twin, so you need the longer beds.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about the length baby length. The bed were

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>starting a bit weird thing.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>To ava.

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Forbes wants to know what's your biggest takeaway from the season,

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>So we're bringing it back.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 3>We're on the footy rails now.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>One of the craziest things I think this season. Obviously

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows how close the competition was, with like a

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Freeman went from the top to making outside the eight.

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>For us, you know, it was, oh, we'd love to

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>be in the top eight and we've all be playing

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>finals right now. But realistically, I think the biggest takeaway

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was just how close the competition is. Yeah, you look

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>at teams like Hawthorn that was down at the bottom

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>of lader A lot of people predicted them not to

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>be anywhere near the eight. They're in the eight and

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>playing really well at the back end of the season.

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And you look at us, we tied two games, could

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>have won one of those. We're in finals, you know,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and we lost. We didn't lose. We tied both of them,

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>which very rare, i'd probably say, in the season, and

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>that kind of almost cost Us Finals. So it is

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>such a thing about the little margins of people being

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>healthy at the right times and the right kind of

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>momentum and confidence at the right time at the end

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>of the season, and there's so many things I have

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to go your way to win the whole thing. I

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>think it made myself appreciate just how lucky we were

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>last year goat times to have everything fall in place

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the way it did.

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, everything has to go perfectly for you to be

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>able to make it. You had a rollercoaster end to

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the season last year, but it all came together just

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>in the perfect way, just to get you across the line.

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>This one was a real head scratcher because it's a

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>good point. And I don't know how to pronounce the

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>name because it's right on Arion NATCHI Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>If you have a game at seven forty seven forty start,

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>what time do you eat dinner?

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I do a later to lunch at like one or two,

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and then we won't eat till after the game. So

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you do kind of your carbloading the day before you

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>eat a big meal. Yeah, you do that kind of

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah day my kind of situation, I start two days before,

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I start with my lunch, my dinner, and then the

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>next day lunch, dinner, and then game day obviously you

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>have breakfast and then lunch, and then you have your

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>dinner after the game. So if you don't want to

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have too much in your system and be running around heavy.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>But you got to think game is seven forty, you're

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>probably not having dinner till ten thirty eleven. Yeah, and

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you get like this little wrap after the game or

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>something like that that probably doesn't fill you up after

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>expending that much energy, and then you kind of have

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to get maybe Guzman or something like that on the

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>way home.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Sponsors.

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>We love a sponsor. If you everyone knows anyone that

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>works at KFC, we're happy to take the sponsor.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Don't mind it. That's a single box, pretty game. Yeah.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever have the usher the ice cream that

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>they used to make. It's a throwback and they got

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>rid of it. It was like the ice cream they

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>used to make it had they had the Golden Gay

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>time they had like Aureos or whatever. That crush it

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>was the mcflurry machine broke its basically like a mcflurry,

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>but it just ship all over it.

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, We digress.

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>That's have you ever like getting into footy you've been

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>in it tenish years, you would have had times where

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you've completely stuffed up your run into games.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Like your food situation. Are they just so on you

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 3>about it?

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've I've had stuff that I've eaten that

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>probably hasn't settled well. Yeah, definitely, And that's kind of

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>made me have a very bland pregame meals and stuff

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in that sense, So why everyone goes just like rice

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and chicken, it's like it's blands. It can get you

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.359
<v Speaker 1>put your own spices and stuff on it. But like

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the biggest things that make you

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're on on the day is your sleep.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Your sleep pattern in the night before. You have to

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>get to get that right to be I think just

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like focus, Like sometimes you don't have good sleep, you

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>get a bit of a blurred mind, whereas you have

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>good sleeping it before and it's a lot easier said

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>than dunks. You had the anxiety of the game and

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>everything else you can imagine, like Grand Final, like last

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>year with the Grand Final shoot, I don't think I

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>would have slept much side before everything I was going

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>through my head so you got to understand like you're

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>probably not having the best prep whenever it's an exciting

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>adrenaline rush game coming up. So that's probably the biggest

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>thing in the lead up that's important, is making sure

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you get your sleep.

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if Pendall still has anxiety sleeps before it's

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 2>just like going out there for the seven thousandth time.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>This one from Grandma Fraser. We loved Grandma. Do you

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>want to walk the Kokoda track?

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Kakoda tracks?

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>That's something I didn't know existed before I came here. Yeah,

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know anything about it, but I would love to. Yeah,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>it'd be cool. I think it'd be pretty cool. I

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's I love the anxact kind of spirit here

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and everything that comes with it, and that's such an important,

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, moment in the history of that. So yeah,

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>i'd love to do the Kokoda track. I don't know

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>if they do like a thing where I look at

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 1>other tracks, you know, like to Machi Pichu and the

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Inca Trail, and they get like a person or a

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>donkey or something like that kind of carries the bag.

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you take a donkey and then you kind of

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>like just walk with a lighter pack. That's the way

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I would want to do the track. I'm not carrying

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>literally two weeks worth of food and everything on my back.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got some other animal doing that for me, and

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I can just enjoy the view of the atmosphere and

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>take in the history that is I think that's the

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>way I'd want to do it. Is that cheating probably just.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Take how can carry backpacks? He's all good ankle rehab.

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>This one's a good one, but it might be a

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 2>bit of a stumper. On short notice from Melsey, what

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>is the best unknown story from twenty twenty four? So

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.239
<v Speaker 2>something that you can let us all know about now

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 2>that you couldn't during the season because it's all hush

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>hush secrets.

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you a personal one that I knew

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>about and so obviously I had a big injury in

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the year, torn mcl broken rib, concussion,

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>broken cheekbone in that instant. Also see me tore my

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a cl Oh what no one knew about it?

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 3>That's wild.

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So I was playing on that for the back half

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of the year, but we decided as a team not

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to say anything to the public just because people would

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>comment about it. And things of whether I should get

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>surgery and things along that line. So we made the

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>decision it was best for myself to keep that secret.

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've got to the point now we'll

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>go in the off season and be healed up by

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the time we get back. But yeah, that's an unknown

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.959
<v Speaker 1>story that no one knew about. You didn't even know that.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 2>No, that's pretty wild, and it was Yeah, it's probably

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>a fair assumption that you did everything in that car.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was like people looked at him like, dude,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that should be a torn acl And in my mind

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what it was.

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you did the full James Brown splits. Ah, that's wild. Well,

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>well done to get through that, because now you have

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>an excuse why you couldn't kick it forty meters.

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was My goal kicking definitely took a bit

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of a hit towards the back end of the year

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>for a good reason. Oh yeah, that's a good one.

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That is a good one. Thanks for the question, Melse.

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 2>This one from stephie d favorite game you played this year.

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's we know that the Anzac day, the moments, the occasions,

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they're all good.

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>They're good.

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>So but like something outside of that, like a nice

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>win and close come from behind or anything like that.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Always good to beat Carlton. That first game when we

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Carleton. That was also Nicks coming out of the

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>stoppage kicking and winning goal, like just going absolutely nuts.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 1>That was unreal. I think that's probably the topper than

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the Brisbane game recently, Like yeah, you know, getting that

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>one point win, kicking three goals in like four minutes.

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I think those are the two that stick out the

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>most heartbreaking games. You look at the Sydney game. Ye,

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Sydney game very much a heartbreak game. Knowing what was

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on the line at that time and a few calls,

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>it just didn't go your way and it cost us

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the game and other people on their team Isacin You

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>just stood up in a pivotal moment, just killed it.

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, those are probably the polar opposites of good

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>games and bad games, and so those are the ones

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that come to mind right away.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>There's always a few freaking good ones in there. If

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 2>you play for the Pies. That was great. The nicknames one.

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I was at a wedding and everyone was watching it

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 2>on the dance floor at the wedding and it was

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 2>victory was sweet. Let's jump into the next one, breed

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>would you say anyway?

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Anyway?

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting these all run right. Yeah, that's a good one.

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>What's your favorite off field pastime outside of fishing?

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you this. Actually how many people know this,

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but I do have breathwork once a week now. So

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a place called Breathouse, is it Nathan Freeman as

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a pot owner in it. You used to play at

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the Pies and they've got a couple here in Melbourne.

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>So once a week I go and do kind of

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>like a meditative breathwork class there, and I've really enjoyed that.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a good time to get away from technology,

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>put the phone away and just kind of really simplistically

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>breathe in the conscious way. And it's kind of been

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.199
<v Speaker 1>a nice like meditation for me to get away from

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the stresses of AFL. So I highly recommend it for

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>anyone else wants to try it. But that's not much

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>changed that I haven't done previously that I've enjoyed. And

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>if Field like kind of I don't know, experiences of life,

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I've spoken to him about it before and I think

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>in my head meditation and breath work. I thought that

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 2>would like the same thing, but like breath work is

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a bit more conscious, right, it's telling you to breathe

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and bath, but at.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>The same time you get this like high, kind of

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 1>tingly feeling from it. Yeah. This kind of makes no

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>sense from saying, oh, you're just breathing, but like the

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 1>way you do it, the breath holds, and you know

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they talk about like whim half. You know, it does

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of these things, and yeah, it's all guided someone.

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of telling you like three seconds and three

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>seconds out and doing it kind of with you. And yeah,

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you get this kind of euphoric feeling from it, which

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>is pretty cool if you you know, fully lean into it.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>You have to. It's like meditation, right. You can't just

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, I'm going to have to do this

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>like now. You have to fully like kind of give

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself up to it to get the full experience from it.

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I need the guide because I can't. There's terrible

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>things happen inside my head.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I had, I had, I brought you a friend

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of mine and Clint stand Away came to it and

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>he'd just been to Paris and then went straight from

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Parisch of Sydney to do the weekend show and then

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>comes to Melbourne. He's been wanting to do it with

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>me for a long time. So it comes in there

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>on the Tuesday and we you know, we go into

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the class and there's him an empty spot for you know, Matt,

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and then two cute girls to the right of us,

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, well said you dog me and going

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna put me on that mat right, You're gonna

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>put me in the middle there. You have to talk

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to the person next year. They opens a conversation up right.

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>So I was like to shake brother to shake. Clint

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that, so he SAIDs there. We go through the

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>meditative thing about three quarters away through. I'm sitting there

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and it goes hold your breath goes super quiet, instructor

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>goes quiet, music goes quiet. Everyone's just hushed. And next

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 1>to me, I just hear this.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 4>He's full, just snorted, woke himself up, heels hit the floor,

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 4>shakes the whole fucking shot and he's just gone on

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 4>and then he just kind of goes it, just kind

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 4>of laughs because he knows what he's doing. Five or

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 4>six people around him start laughing. We're all just trying

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 4>to just calm, meditative state. He's just embarrassed the heck

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 4>out of himself. It was one of the funniest things

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 4>I've ever heard. And it was just like, as soon

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 4>as the class finish, I couldn't have seen him getting

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 4>out there quicker.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>He was bolting for the door. See later.

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 3>That's so rough.

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. Would you recommend it?

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Would you do they do ie gazing I was talking about.

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to get down there to I gaze with me,

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>where you just stare into each other's soul for like

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>an hour, just looking right into each other's eyes.

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting, that's a real love. I don't know. I

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.280

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>so shout out to them. The AFL A competition over there.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They did the national competition in Austin, so I'll be

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>an ambassador for that. Get to go a roll around,

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, spread the game over there and spread the

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>words be cool. And then yeah, I've got a family trip.

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I think out to New Mexico November seventh. I'll be

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>back to fourteenth, jeez.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And then you be going on and you train for

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>two weeks and then you go on another holiday. That's it, right, Ciga.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Of these players, let's get into our personal life stuff.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 2>This is where it always gets good. And this one's

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 2>heavy off the top. So this one's from Heaves Smith.

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Where do you see yourself in five years time?

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Jeez? Probably playing Game three ninety nine, Just go I

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>got to know three years in me. Yeah, in five

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>years time. I love to be in the media in

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>some capacity. I'm not sure what it's going to be.

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to promote the game overseas and do that

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>through the AFL in some way, shape or form. Not

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>sure how it all pan out, and love the radio gig,

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>love the podcast gig. So love that kind of side

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>of it. And I think I've also essentially done my

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>coaching accreditation too, so be kind of a unique thing

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to do a part time job helping out, you know,

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I think these young kids are coming through the system.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Myself never played football before, had to learn the game

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>from scratch. I think there's a lot of value in,

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, being able to teach these people who may

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>have transferred from basketball or something else and haven't played

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>AFL for a long time and some of the skill

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>sets and the things I learned throughout my career and

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>be able to help the next generation in that sense.

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully that's a possibility. I'm not sure what clubs

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>out there listening, but if you are and five years,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>i'd be interested.

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>One day, we're going to see five years someone come

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 2>through this two hundred and twelve cent till in five years. Well,

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm mainly focused on my business. I'm sure I have

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>outside things that I want to do.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to run a marathon, I'd love to see

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you run a marathon the next five years. Can we

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>can we lock this in? Yeah?

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was talking to Mace off air and I

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 2>accidentally almost ran a sub twenty minute five k just crazy,

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>which yeah.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 3>And it was.

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was going slow, but I was in

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the zone with my headphones on. And I've always been

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 2>half blessed with like just like my legs don't get

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 2>sore and my lungs don't burn, so I'm not quick,

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>but I can just like run.

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 3>But beers are my problem.

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Are definitely they.

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Always get me. But yeah, I feel like I can.

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I know I can run a half marathon. I've done

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it a couple of times where I just go and

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 2>run it, whereas yeah, a full marathon is that's a

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of mentals like yeah, raw Dog, imagine raw Dog

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and marathon, no music, no nothing, You're just out there,

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 2>just raw Do.

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Shorts throw me back to the Budgies? Yeah, yeah, I

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 2>That would be a great challenge. I want the business

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 2>to just keep growing. I want to hopefully buy like

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a studio and like a bit more space and do

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>custom sets and grow the podcasting side. And it's all

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>growing very quickly, so that's it's yeah, it's fun. Business

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is fun and.

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Hell at the same time, your own business.

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's jump into Mike bees question. Biggest off field accomplishment.

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's a a general there's a lot of those.

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I think just as a whole. Like people you know

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>in Australia don't want you to pump yourself up and

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 1>things like that, but I think I like my experience

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the order to get you more, you

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>reflect on it and what you've kind of been through

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and how you've handled it and what's where it's kind

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of made you as a person. I think, like over,

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty proud of myself for what I've been able

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to do here, not only from on field stuff, but

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>also to live away from family, create your own life here,

0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, make some incredible friendships and stuff like That's

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>not easy, especially the older you get. So I think

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for myself, I'll look back on the whole is something

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm quite proud of and as an off field accomplishment

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of just doing that and get citizenship here and things

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>along those lines. That doesn't it doesn't happen very often.

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a very few and farm between a lot of people.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Come over from overseas and they go back home and

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 1>things like that, and they've stuck out for so long

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and be able to you know, not probably be looked

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.679
<v Speaker 1>at as one of those that goes home all the

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>time and misses home in that sense, you know, it's

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>like I've fully committed to this place. I think that's

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>probably the one I look back on and holistically say,

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's something I'm extremely proud of as an

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>accomplishment in life, to say, no matter when this finishes

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>up and you know, who knows where my life's going

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to take me, I'll look back on my time here

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and be like that was pretty cool. Yeah, not many people. Well,

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>no one has the exact same story as you, and

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you did it your way totally different to anyone else,

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and a cop criticism along the way and is what

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>it is. But I know there'll never be another Mason

0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Cox in this world. Yeah, which is pretty cool to.

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Say, Yeah, you've done heaps. She's definitely recognized all around

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Australia alone Melbourne and coming over at twenty four. Like

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>there's people that will never solo travel for like two

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.199
<v Speaker 2>weeks in their life, let alone move over here and

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>do everything that you've done, which.

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 3>Is pretty crazy mine.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I've just become a better person over time,

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>which is just I used to be more, believe it

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.679
<v Speaker 2>or not, of a bitter, twisted prick and just hated

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>people and just work flat out, which I still do.

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just slowly finding calmness and patience, which is patience

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 2>if most of my clients here swallow, But yeah, it's yeah,

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel comfortable, which is like, I feel like being

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with yourself is like such a journey to get

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to that point, especially heading through your twenties twenty suck,

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>but getting to your thirties, you think it's going to

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 2>just click, and it doesn't. But yeah, now at the

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.719
<v Speaker 2>position where I am, feel so much more comfortable with

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 2>who you are, and it just makes life just that

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>bit easier. It makes the whole thing a lot easier,

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 2>less stressful, for sure. Let's jump into Zach Matthews, and

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.119
<v Speaker 2>this is along the lines of a lot of what

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 2>we got, So I'm just reading out this one and

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>we'll group it into one. It says, surely one of

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 2>you is going to get a girlfriend this summer.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 3>It's not that hard, Zach says, Yeah, Zach.

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Ladies, ladies Jesus keeping them all. Yeah, I mean we'd

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>love to. Don't get me wrong.

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:46.479
<v Speaker 2>You're going over to freaking like Italy and traveling and

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you're going through the mountains.

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You're only going to be there for four days.

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:52.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a rough one to put on the Tinder profile

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 2>in town for four days.

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I need a two of guys relationship out of it.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the donkey on the Concada trail. You might bring

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>it back, afraid o. Maeah, Yeah, we'd love to. I

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>think we always kind of joke about trying to find

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a podcam. I do think probably our work situations is

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>not sometimes you know, a good environment for a girlfriend

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 2>to be involved in this.

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Book better too much, I reckon.

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I've been on the best role that I've been on,

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 2>like it, and it's only been two months of like

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.639
<v Speaker 2>work life balance, making sure I get out, keeping the

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 2>weekends as free as I can, doing stuff, going on dates.

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but the thing is, we get a girlfriend, it's

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>just going to be way less entertaining. Yeah. Yeah, it

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>did not to say that getting a girlfriend's doll, but

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, like I think there's just way better stories

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that happen whenever you're single because people are shocked by

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>some of the stuff that's out there, and you know

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.879
<v Speaker 1>what happens. They as a person that has a girlfriend

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>or boyfriend, go, I feel a lot better about.

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 3>My relationship appreciated.

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because he is having an absolutely terrible time. It's

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 1>not great.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I was telling you I don't and

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>then it was too close to the time. But yeah,

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like telling the hairdresser about all my dates

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and when she spun me around to the back. There

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 2>was a guy that was like, mane, you should write

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 2>a book like shock it. There was a girl head

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>butted me in the face on one of my dates,

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 2>like before I took a break, like fools, head butted

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.360
<v Speaker 2>me in the chin. It's so hard that I bit

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>my lip and she's scared you for a long No,

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that was what I had a good run there, so

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 2>but no, I am getting better, like getting out there,

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 2>going on a few dates. I don't get nervous anymore,

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>which is I think that's a great sign going out there,

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 2>not having the pre anxiety and not having to be like, oh,

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I have a beer or two just to like before

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I head off, just to loosen up a bit. I'm

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 2>enjoying the process more. I like, I like going out

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and eating and stuff and like, so I look forward

0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to that. And then it's like, well, someone's going to

0:22:59.920 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 2>be in the realm of a ballpark of like good communications.

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>And you'll find out very quickly I want you. Yeah,

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you usually know on a date in the first five

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to ten minutes.

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so like I don't know about you, but my

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 2>like the structure of it is like date ones, the

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 2>vibe check and you get that real quick. So that's

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 2>a coffee or a drink, so like you get in,

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 2>you can have a chat. Obviously, it can go for

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>longer if you have drinks and it ends up bleeding

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>into four hours or whatever. Happy days. But if it's

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 2>not great, you can get out of there.

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh I actually drove.

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I have a commitment after Yeah, well you know, they

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 1>just texted me out. I've got to run here in

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen minutes. So I just want to give your

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:37.879
<v Speaker 1>heads up.

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like everyone's on board with that.

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Like you can be having a good date and still

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>say that and be like, look, I don't want this

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to drag out.

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, but if yeah, the vibe and then something

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that the second date is a bit more locked in.

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's like you go out, you eat or whatever

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:56.400
<v Speaker 2>a commitment you trap there, go be halfway through your.

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Panini and be like I'm going see it.

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, Yeah, we'll get there, eventually get there. We

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 1>will take feedback on board.

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're gonna have some updates like next episode back,

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>but we have we put it out there, heartwarming stories.

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 2>We wanted to hear them, and we got some good

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 2>ones back. Dan Mixtaye coming back from his ACL was yeah,

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 2>quite amazing what he's being able to do in a

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 2>short time. Miss the last game with a bit of soreness,

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 2>but you can see straight away what he does to

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the structure of the team coming back in.

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, whenever Brodie Markscheck went out too, it was almost

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>so much more important than he came back. You know,

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 1>December did an ACL, you know, didn't play in the

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Grand File to the pre limit like PCL. I think

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just had a tough runt, had a very

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>tough run. I think like everyone saw how already worked

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in the gym every single day and it's not easy

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.919
<v Speaker 1>to be doing that with you know, such a long injury,

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:57.199
<v Speaker 1>not being able to see the light at the end

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>of the tunnel and when he came back, it was

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>such a confidence booster for us and a you know,

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>just a spirit lifter more than anything, to say, hey,

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this guy's put in the work, like let's you know,

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>let's do this for him, Like let's win some games

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for him. And you know, he was he was massive

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in the back end of the year, and I know

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>he didn't play in the last game, so he had

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 1>a bit of awareness. I think it was, but incredible

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the man's resilience throughout the year. That was I think

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you talk about highlights of the year, like that one

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>was the one that just sticks out instantly in my

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.160
<v Speaker 1>mind of just someone who's been through a bit of mud,

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>been through a bit of you know shit, if I'm

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.360
<v Speaker 1>being honest with you, and then you know, coming back,

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you just you feel so happy for him and his

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>family and everyone else that's involved to be able to

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>have that moment.

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>And a bit of a throwback Lucky Sullivan's first game

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>when he came on, kicked that goal and everyone got

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:42.199
<v Speaker 2>around him.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, snap on Carlton game.

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a pretty amazing moment.

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>The great story, yeah too.

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 2>And what about Jake Waterman, His season, his couple of

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 2>seasons really, but he's just for how he's how tall

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>he is. I I guess i'd put it as like

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a key forward Oscar Allen going down early and then

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 2>him being like the.

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Main man one out.

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>He had a pretty amazing season. Now this one we

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>can all get around beating Carlton twice. Yeah, I love

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that big fan under heartwarmings.

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.159
<v Speaker 1>There's someone I wild say his name. There's someone in

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the media that once told me, I said, if you

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 1>don't make finals, your best beat Carlton twice. It's like

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>finals obviously important, right right under that beating Carlton.

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Twice, it's just because yeah, you can have it over them,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 2>like Carlton made finals, Yeah, but didn't beat Collingwood.

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 3>That's good to say.

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we're I think we're winning in the total overall.

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I'll have to ask.

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's jump into Matt Gwealfie's painted nails. That was that

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>was a special one.

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that one. You talk about Dyson Happle

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 1>his retirement stuff and you know the people he got

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>involved to. That was a beautiful kind of experience. I

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>think for everyone to be able to see in one

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of those feel good stories that get to put out

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>into the media and you wish there was more of them.

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You wish you could see all the different things that

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>players do for people, because there's so many things. But yeah,

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Gwthy's painted nails like that was pretty cool. I think

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>was it the Good Friday Appeal game or was it

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I know they went to the hospital and he said

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he'd do the celebration and all that, and that was

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful moment for sure.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 3>That was so good, And yeah, it's good.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Sally Pendaal's game four hundred getting the win pretty wild.

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he always you look at four hundred, Yeah,

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>winning after the sign essentially, you know, Carlson didn't didn't

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>make the kick after the sign. I guess it's the

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>best way to put it. But you look at that

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>game four hundred, such a milestone, sixth person I think

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>ever in the NFL history to do it. Obviously, it's

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>one on the calendar you kind of circle and go, okay,

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like let's you know, like we're looking forward to this one.

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And then the fact that it fell against Carlton tight game,

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>like important game, so cool to see him and his

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 1>family kind of get the lotted so they deserve throughout

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the week because it's not just him making it to

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. It's his wife, his kids, his parents, like

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>everyone else that's involved, his brothers, his whole family. It

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:03.479
<v Speaker 1>was cool to have them involved for the week and

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>really just kind of pay homage to what he's been

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>able to accomplish most disposals ever by any player in

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the AFL. You know, we talk about players that you talk,

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten years after you retire, like you talk

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>about how you played with him. He'll be one of

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.919
<v Speaker 1>those nick ta cross him, like all these guys that

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.199
<v Speaker 1>you Travis Cloak and Swany and all these people you

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>tell stories about for the rest of your life. He's

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 1>made such an incredible impact on so many people. It's

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 1>great whenever he played four hundred to really kind of

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 1>show the respect he deserved.

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is a good point.

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to Alex who's put up with him for

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 2>four hundred odd games. That's he would have been. That's

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a loving wife preak at times. I imagine with his

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:45.719
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna just he's like zero skinfold skin fair.

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:47.440

<v Speaker 1>Eat every morning He's waking up just at the crack

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:52.880

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Alex. We move over to the Clangers

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Year. We had a few people send in

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 2>one and one was the man that you just mentioned

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 2>not long ago, Mitch McGovern's miss.

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's tough. I feel for him. He's also had

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a won his one off his boot and after the Sirens,

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>so he drew. He drew. Sorry, just felt like a win,

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like at that time. But yeah, yeah, that's

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be tough to tough Phil. So I will

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>say credit to Carlton's teammates. They all got around immediately

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>after he kicked out. They're all kind of helping.

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you know it's not on him, it's on the team.

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>They shouldn't have been in that position, but fortunately didn't

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 2>take the opportunity. Let's jump to the top. We just

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 2>talked about this last episode. But the bottle chucker, what

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the heck man can't be chucking?

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>What a doing? Man? What are you doing? This isn't

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 1>like a European Soccer League's flares going all that stuff.

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>This is it. This is a sophisticated gang all right here,

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 1>can't be doing that, can't be doing that. I think

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:58.959
<v Speaker 1>it's the fact that like, like I'm more I mean,

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm pissed obviously about the whole situation, but like throwing

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>anything on the field is unacceptable, and then like hitting

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>an umpire that's a goal umpire, like you know, like

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it was that situation just made it

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>even more infuriating to me. People that, you know, just

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>do it because they love it. Yeah, you know, I

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 1>think there's devid road. Can you imagine the nicest guy

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>always has a smile, gives the fingers, pistols, gives the

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>fans that they want. Can you imagine if the bottle

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>is throwing to them, Oh, you'd be lived.

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 3>I reckon it's like.

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Throwers in general, because obviously it's that was a hard

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 2>shot to hit. He hits the umpire. I still feel

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>like it should be the same punishment if it misses

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the umpire, like unfortunately it causes the incident. But like,

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>just don't throw stuff, don't throw stuff out in the field.

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't like people that throw stuff out in the

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>field in general, don't litter while we're on it.

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's like litter is anyway.

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 2>That's an absolute clanger. The bloke that said Umpiring has

0:30:55.240 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 2>been the best it's ever been, oh dill still, that

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:05.320
<v Speaker 2>one just annoyed me because it's clearly it wasn't. And

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 2>at the time, it was like coming out every week

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to say that they stuffed up another thing.

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Just a learning moment. It was a learning moment for

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 1>him on side.

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 3>God damn.

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it was just like the timing and then

0:31:17.600 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>what transpired over the next few weeks of you know,

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:26.040
<v Speaker 1>calls that people were you know, very opinionated about it

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 1>just didn't go down with the fans well. And I

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>think with Empire you can't like make a statement like

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>that in general because like it's you know, it's going

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to get dissected so much by the media, so you

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of have to give a bit of a you know,

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 1>just a bit of it and even say, look, Umpire's

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>doing the best, They're doing exactly what they can. We're

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 1>proud of what they're doing. Yeah, And that's that's kind

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of like the way to go about it it.

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I'd like them to come out and be like, look,

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 2>we're not making their job any easier. We keep changing

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the goalpost for him.

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It's it's one of the hardest capers man. I can't.

0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I would never in my lifetime think, you know, being

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>an umpire is easy, just sir, like, yeah, it's such

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 1>an opinionated game. You're ever going to make everyone happy.

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 1>The best you can do is just not even be noticed.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like it's a crazy thing, but yeah it was.

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a learning experience. It's a learning experience

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>for everyone.

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I've said some stupid things in my past too.

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Na the West Australian, Now that's a good one because

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 2>they went super hard on Adam Simpson when he was

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>wrapping up at the West Coast and basically said like

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 2>see a Simo, as like they were kicking him out

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the door.

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Such a bad taste in my mouth or where that

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 1>was handled, all the all the l's on the front

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:40.680
<v Speaker 1>page and stuff like you gotta be better than that. Yeah.

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I do love. I do love the way you clap

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>back though in the press conference. Yeah, I was live

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>in that. Yeah, I think there's not many coaches do it.

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 1>But whenever you don't have the coaching gig game or

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I can say whatever I want. I give my honest

0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 1>opinion because I'm not like held to the club standards anymore. Yeah,

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 1>like it was so good and the fact that all

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the media people were like clapping over like laughing too,

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and you would have felt like you were just on

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>your own on an island if you were that person.

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 2>That all the players in the room to back him up.

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But the West Australian like the it's not that Northern Territory,

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Northern Territory has their paper and they

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>come out with like funny puns and ship that's funny.

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Like people can get around that. It's not punching down

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 2>on anyone or like kicking them while they're down or

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I love it anyway. Jesse Hogan stopping his teammate from

0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 2>kicking a girl.

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Man that was gold that it reminded me of Pendle's

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 1>kid after running through the banner and just absolutely launched

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball into Crispy's head from five meters out from Gold. Oh,

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 1>it was absolutely hilarious. Yeah, that's that's that's definitely a clanger.

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't be give it to Jesse go just learn

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>win the lear Win, the Coleman. You got to know

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the Colemans in the back of his head.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Just give it to you, Give it to the bloke

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 3>that kicked it, not to Jesse Hoakan.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving to the block that kicked it. Give it

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to your star. You're up by probably a hundred anyway.

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind it.

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 2>And then obviously the clanger of the year is free

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I losing in the last round of port to just

0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 2>drop finals. Didn't want to play finals apparently, Ah wow,

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 2>s this is the I now got months until anyway,

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.399
<v Speaker 2>this is the wrap before we go. We've we've put

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:24.799
<v Speaker 2>it out there for people. Mark of the year, Goal

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>of the year, Brownlow winner. What's yours?

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I want to go, Bobby Hill Mark of the year. Yeah,

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go Goal of the year.

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Not as obvious, is it, But I think there's.

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Not one that really stands. I mean, I always obviously

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 1>bias insense of myself of Nick de Costs two bounces,

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>shoving off someone kicking one on the rhine. Yeah, that

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like gets me up and about. But it's

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I think there's, like, you know, there's a few.

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Had the ghost game, the Nick Dakos one, with that

0:34:57.120 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>one two back forward kick the goal.

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:00.919
<v Speaker 3>But you're lost.

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. I don't know who's going to

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>win Goldie Year. That's up for debate. There hasn't been

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like a obvious just like Eddie bats shimmy, shimmy, two people.

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I can break out a tackle snap kind of goal. Yeah,

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 1>that kind of comes to mind. But that's gonna be interesting.

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:18.359
<v Speaker 1>One Brown though. I'm hoping Nick day Cass. Yeah, I'll

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>say if it's not him, but to Pelly.

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that would be nice to see win it.

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he deserves it.

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go Bobby Mark because he did the

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 2>little extra float in there the landing, yeah, and then

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.919
<v Speaker 2>he landed and on his feet but it looked cool.

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:34.839
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm going to give it to Harley Reid

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 2>out of the middle.

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he did. I do remember that was unreal the

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 3>middle and drilling the girl that was sick.

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And then give him the best first year player surely, Yeah.

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:47.680
<v Speaker 3>We can do it.

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 2>We don't count suspensions in the Mason cock Show.

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that. Oh my god, you spend it in San.

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:56.719
<v Speaker 3>Darcy, got suspend it.

0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 1>So go to someone I probably don't know.

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like Carlton making the finals. Did you you lost?

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, yeah, I hardly reads the best player the

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 2>first year, Sam Darcy's close second seven goals already Jesus

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and then Brownlow Yeah good point. Ah. I think like

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Locky Near, he was good late, but they were not

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 2>great early. So that's the only thing that kills me.

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 2>And if they're going to be more mindful of Nick

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Dacos this year after you know, it's normally their lag period,

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like a year later they give them more votes.

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But he would have won it last year if it

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:36.800
<v Speaker 2>wasn't for the injuries.

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Let's do like a.

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Little wrap the season in retrospect looking back. Obviously not

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, happy, not content with not making the finals

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.760
<v Speaker 2>coming off a Grand Final.

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Just how hard was the season personally?

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 2>But then how hard did you find the whole thing

0:36:57.960 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 2>coming back from the prelim loss the year before?

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and going again.

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the early start was not a deal. But

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.239
<v Speaker 1>obviously there's other teams that had to do it too.

0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm I wasn't really a massive fan of the Round

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 1>zero experience. We'll be interesting to see if they keep

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it for next year, but I think the shorter kind

0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of time frame with that, and the teams you're probably

0:37:18.000 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 1>wanting to play in Round zero, probably the teams that

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 1>went further in finals, you know. So I think that

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.719
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a frustrating kind of thing to deal with.

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I guys like less less off season. Obviously you want

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Maximin's off season the rest. So that was interesting start.

0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:33.759
<v Speaker 1>We probably as a team didn't start the way we

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to with a few losses on the on the books,

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know they had they had the injury of

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the big injury of our cheek bone and knee and

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>ribs and concussion, and that knocked me about for a

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>long time. So it was the first kind of his

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:49.479
<v Speaker 1>first concussion I've ever had. And I think that whole

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:52.200
<v Speaker 1>process of going through it, like we've always been quite

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:54.280
<v Speaker 1>strict of saying like we need to look after players'

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:56.920
<v Speaker 1>health and mental health and concussions and all this stuff,

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and I think that almost made me just double down

0:37:59.360 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 1>on it now.

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Yea.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It took me for four or five weeks whoever it was,

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to just kind of get back to normality. And you

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>see the friends that played football, you see kind of

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>how that's affected them. You know, you talk about Nathan

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Murphy and you talk about Josh Carmichael who retired from

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 1>our team. Because it can cush in you, you realize

0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>how important it is for us to recognize and be

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 1>able to, I guess, try to get this thing as

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 1>early as possible. And myself going through that this year

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I think was a real realization point for me of

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 1>just the impact you can kind of have on you

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of that threw me around for quite

0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:35.399
<v Speaker 1>a bit. So the rehab of that was quite tough.

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I will say the knee. One interesting thing I'll take

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.320
<v Speaker 1>a positive out of it was it was cool to

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>see every single week a new accomplishment, right, So, I mean,

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:48.080
<v Speaker 1>it first happens, you can't even like bend it at all,

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>second week you can bend it to you know, closer

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to forty five, and then the next week better, and

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the next week better, and it was like every week

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you could see a major accomplishment that you were being

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.919
<v Speaker 1>able to do. So that was kind of a pause

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing I think through that time of you know,

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the darkness of rehab and doing things on your own

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and all that, like that was kind of a cool

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>moment for me to say, you can see an improvement

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.759
<v Speaker 1>and a short amount of period that you probably don't

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:13.319
<v Speaker 1>see very often in your career now.

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:15.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's yeah, it's different to all your other injuries

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>when you talk about like your spleen is the unknown,

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>your eyes or the unknown, like, yeah, it's at least

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:23.320
<v Speaker 2>an injury that you people have had, they how to

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:24.720
<v Speaker 2>rehab region it's proper.

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, So that was interesting. And then you come

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 1>back towards the end of the year and you have

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:31.800
<v Speaker 1>this kind of like, hey, we need to make finals,

0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and we need to do it now, you know, like

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:35.600
<v Speaker 1>times running out, so the pressure was on. I think

0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:37.839
<v Speaker 1>we performed pretty well over the last little chunk when

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we all got back, So for me, I was pretty

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:41.840
<v Speaker 1>proud of myself to get back out there with you know,

0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the things that were going on and being able to

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>sort it. But I think overall, like mentally, it was

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a Yeah, it was a tough year at times. Not

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>always the easiest whenever you don't make finals, especially with

0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the expectations of after last year, not always easy. But

0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you look back and you say, look, it's it's just

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a I filled a swallow, but you have to

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and at the end of the day, you take it

0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 1>as motivation for the next year, and you go, okay, like,

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, these are things maybe we didn't do as

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:09.800
<v Speaker 1>well as we'd like, and yeah, this is room for improvement.

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, like I've said before, it's not going to

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.560
<v Speaker 1>be the same faces every year, So you know, I'm

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:16.360
<v Speaker 1>sure we'll get some new faces. I'll come in and

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 1>hopefully be able to help us out try to get

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>back to where we were. But overall, the oh the

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 1>year you wish you'd be playing finals. You know, not

0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to say that it's a oh or nothing kind of thing. Obviously,

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of success in the year and a

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that you are proud about, But overall,

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you're the one they will stick out for you.

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Eternity is going on twenty twenty four. We didn't make finals. Yeah,

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's the statement everyone will say, and that's yeah,

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just the truth. You've got to be able to

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 1>take it.

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 3>So where does the improvement come from for next year?

0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I hopefully we have a bit more consistency with

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the group with injuries and everything else. There's a lot

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>of stuff along that line, and yeah, hopefully that's kind

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of one of the main things for us I think

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is just being able to have a team that's played

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 1>together for an extended period and hopefully has had success together,

0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, winning games, and that puts you in a

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:08.600
<v Speaker 1>really good stance for finals and allows you to go

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on a bit of a run. So that's the one

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>thing I look at and I go, I hope that

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:14.160
<v Speaker 1>we can have that next year. Obviously it's out of

0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 1>our control, but hopefully we can do that, which allows

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:19.800
<v Speaker 1>for more consistency, which allows for us to kind of

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 1>feel confidence with the people who are playing with and

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, feel like we'rell on the same page in

0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that sense during the back end of the year, hopefully

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>with wins under a belt.

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 3>What do you think you need?

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Obviously Jordy comes back, gets back in there with Nick,

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:38.839
<v Speaker 2>you got some pretty good midfield talent, got some good

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 2>wing talent.

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 3>So is it more getting just.

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Your key pillars back up for you, get Brodie back,

0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you get Dan out there more often, got some good

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 2>small forwards, and then maybe shore up defense a bit.

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 3>With obviously Murph going out.

0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 1>We had quite a few tolls kind of go down

0:41:54.960 --> 0:41:57.319
<v Speaker 1>this year, so we lacked height probably for a decent

0:41:57.400 --> 0:41:59.719
<v Speaker 1>chunk of the season. Good for me to realize that

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 1>something we locked. But you know, Nathan Murphy going out,

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll have to probably fill a key back

0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>role because we only you know, they essentially have Jeremy

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>how Darcy Moore, Billy Frampton are kind of like the

0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 1>big bigs that play back, and so we'll probably have

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.280
<v Speaker 1>to find another one to help kind of those stocks.

0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, we talk about a big ford. Who knows

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:18.320
<v Speaker 1>if we'll go and grab one of those. I'm not

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:21.800
<v Speaker 1>sure you know you have the likes of Christian Petroc

0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of you know, oh my go, he's the interesting in calling,

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is always going to throw the callingwood name around, but

0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you just never know what happens. So yeah, it'd be interesting.

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you just sit there and ask me

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>about the Petroka thing, like I think every single player

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in the AFL would go, yeah, I'd love to have

0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Christian Petroc on my teable. He's one of the best

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:39.879
<v Speaker 1>players of the league. Of course, you're going to say, yeah,

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:42.200
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be interested to see how all those kind

0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of trades and everything else kind of pans out over

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the next little chunk, and you'll be a few new

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>faces next year. But hopefully you know, it helps us win,

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, more games and be able to get to

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:52.280
<v Speaker 1>where we want to be as a player.

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 2>During the off season, do you watch the trade period

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 2>with keen interest, thinking who's going to come in, who's gonna.

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Once it's settled. Yes, you'll send the messages out, try

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to catch up with them and things like that. But

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, it's speculated. You don't want to like

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:08.319
<v Speaker 1>get into it too much.

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those things where you go, okay, yeah,

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like until it's actually setting stone in the contract so

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you've signed it and you're gonna be on our team

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>next year, you probably don't pay attention to it too

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>much because you know how much just smoke is blown, right,

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no like legitimacy to all these comments and

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 1>statements being made by people. They're trying to drum up

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 1>some story that doesn't exist, you know, and these things.

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.960
<v Speaker 1>So you got to take everything with a great, you know,

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:35.839
<v Speaker 1>grain of salt, and I don't know, I don't really

0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:38.719
<v Speaker 1>probably pay attention to it too much until you get

0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:40.239
<v Speaker 1>back and you kind of meet them. You go kind

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>of like, you know, what are you about? What your

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>character ist? You know, like what do you what is

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>your kind of character and stuff like that, and you

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:48.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of see how well you volved with them really,

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so it'll be interesting see kind of what happens.

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be because you don't have any draft picks,

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 2>so you're going to have to if you're going to

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 2>do something that's going to come through the trade period,

0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 2>which is for fans out they're the most exciting period.

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Draft is so so because it's a you just planting

0:44:05.400 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 2>the seed and you've got to wait to see what

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it grows into. Going through the trade period, you can

0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:12.480
<v Speaker 2>just go get some bona fide talent, So that'll be

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:19.200
<v Speaker 2>great wrapping things up. Obviously what you just said, disappointing season,

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 2>but you know, build towards next year. What are you

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:23.839
<v Speaker 2>doing for Are you going to watch the Grand Final?

0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to watch the finals? Are you going

0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to be in Australia? No, you take off when for.

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:30.720
<v Speaker 1>The Gan Final, So Timothy, I'll be back in America,

0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:33.279
<v Speaker 1>so I probably won't see too many finals. I'll I'll

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:34.920
<v Speaker 1>try to watch as much as I can. Obviously I

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:38.759
<v Speaker 1>don't think he has an international subscription, but we'll see.

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch as much as I can. I think the

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Grand Final, like, I'll be back in Texas, so I'll

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>definitely try to watch that, but I'll be interested to

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 1>see kind of how finals pan out because it's really

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a crap shoot. Who is going to

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:49.279
<v Speaker 1>win it. There's no clear cut favorite at the moment,

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:51.719
<v Speaker 1>so it's going to be an interesting thing for fans

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to be able to look after. But I think after

0:44:54.360 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>not making it, you have a little bit of a

0:44:56.680 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, jealousy towards the time, like the teams are

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in the eight and you know, sometimes just kind of

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 1>pushing that aside and just ignoring it sometimes can be

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.440
<v Speaker 1>good and healthy. So I'll watch a little bit of

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:09.360
<v Speaker 1>it if I feel up to it mentally, but if not,

0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll just kind of push it aside.

0:45:10.880 --> 0:45:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is a good point, and normally it's if

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a team in there that you're like, oh, we

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:19.200
<v Speaker 2>beat that and stuff like that. Yeah, the Grand Final,

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it's like May the Grandfather is going to be interesting

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 2>because if it is like a port VGWS, it's like

0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Kenny either gets his flag or GWS gets there first.

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Like there's a few stories like that throughout it.

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:35.160
<v Speaker 2>But it should be a very exciting final series because

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:37.520
<v Speaker 2>there's some competitive teams in there, so I can't wait

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:37.920
<v Speaker 2>to see it.

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be great. But yeah, that's that's it

0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>from us.

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Man, that's us another big year. What do we three

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 3>that's the end of our third year.

0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Into the third year.

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:47.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's a lot.

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I know. I know, we have obviously Finals to go through,

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:53.279
<v Speaker 1>but we're going to take a break. We're gonna I'm

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.400
<v Speaker 1>going to go overseas. You're going to do some more

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.600
<v Speaker 1>work with the with the company, I know. So a

0:45:57.680 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of an apology, i'd say to the listeners that

0:45:59.560 --> 0:46:01.840
<v Speaker 1>want to listen to the podcast throughout the finals campaign,

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I think we need a bit of a break to

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:06.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to reset, a bit of a detox from

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going on. That's been a bit of a

0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 1>full on year. So apologies to the fans out there.

0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I do want to hear for the next four weeks,

0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:14.279
<v Speaker 1>but for us, I think for our mental health and

0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:15.480
<v Speaker 1>everything else, we're going to take a bit of a

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:18.440
<v Speaker 1>break and look after ourselves as everyone I feel like

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it's at home should hopefully understand, and if you're in

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the same position, please do.

0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 2>It is surprisingly easier to talk about Finals when you're

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:25.120
<v Speaker 2>in them.

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's a lot better. It's a lot more exciting,

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. But massive, massive thank you everyone for

0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 1>understanding that, and appreciate you as always being part of
