Speaker 2: see your mate.

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: How are you good to see you? Great to be

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: back for another year.

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Super excited, absolutely, but a lot of team struggling is along,

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: but we don't seem to well, of course we don't

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: seem to fore us.

17
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: No, that's right.

18
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 4: It's always a place where we've had a bit of success,

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: and yeah, we always really embrace.

20
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: The challenge of going down there.

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: I think, particularly for us, it's a it's a game

22
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: where there's quite a lot of travel involved. It's probably

23
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: not the ideal preparation, but in the past we've we've

24
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: had a lot of success and I suppose we take

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: that on board when we go down there, and we'd

26
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: love to embrace the challenge. Yeah, we feel like the ground,

27
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: the size of the ground really helps the way we defend.

28
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 4: We can sort of own the corridor on teams and

29
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: we've had a lot of success doing that in the past.

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, Geelong obviously a really good outfit and going

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 4: to be a great challenge round one, but we're really

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 4: looking forward to it.

33
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: So I guess it's a plane and then a bus,

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: and I mean the plane to tell Amarine. That's about

35
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: as far away on the other side of Melbourne to

36
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: head to Geelong that you could get. So it is

37
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: a long trip. Do they at least have a nice

38
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: visiting you know, change rooms for you to.

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Freshen up in when you get there.

40
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: Not really, they're pretty small, but yeah, I feel like

41
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: our SNC staff have got some good routines in place

42
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: for us.

43
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: So we get off the plane, they always make sure we.

44
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: Get moving and sometimes boys will get in the water

45
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: and have a stretch and no, I think we're pretty

46
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: well prepared to get out there. And yeah, it's obviously

47
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: not ideal prep, but yeah, we've embraced it in the

48
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: past and had success, so we'll lean on that.

49
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: When you say S and C stuff, do you mean

50
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: is that strength and conditioning?

51
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: That's correct? Yeah, you off season for lease.

52
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: So there's another point. You know, down at the category

53
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: they've spent millions on the ground. Isn't a funny how

54
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: clubs don't worry about the away team rooms in the

55
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 2: and the showers.

56
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, I give the Awa team advantage.

57
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, water right, that's true. It's a good ground to

58
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 4: play out, to be fair, and it's always a good vibe.

59
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: It's pretty hostile down there, so yeah, but it's always

60
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: nice when you can silence that crowd.

61
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: Mate, you're a competitive beast. I know you wish you

62
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: were out there. That frustrating, is that round one?

63
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: It is frustrating, Yeah, super frustrating. But it is a

64
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: long year and that's sort of what I've been telling myself.

65
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: And I suppose you'd rather miss the first few games

66
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: in the last few games. So yeah, I'm frustrated that

67
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: I'm not out there, but I'm still going to travel

68
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: this week and support the team and hopefully do my part.

69
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, hopefully I'm back out there really quickly.

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: They are expecting a very hot day over there. They're

71
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: talking thirty five in Geelong.

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. We've been training all summer.

73
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: I get well, I guess, so yeah, so everyone should

74
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: handle it, Okay.

75
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I certainly won't be a shock

76
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: to the system. Yeah, it was interesting watching games on

77
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: the weekend and seeing a lot of players cramp, and yeah,

78
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: there was some chat about the hate. There's obviously a

79
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: bit of humidity up there, but yeah, I feel like

80
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: we're really well conditioned for those sort of conditions.

81
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're looking forward to it.

82
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: It will be hot out there and hopefully our boys

83
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: will handle it all right.

84
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: What about the star recruit as in Cha Bolton, We're

85
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: going to see him out there?

86
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: Do you think hopefully? Yeah, he's it's been off legs

87
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: this week. He's sort of pulled up a little bit

88
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: sore after the Melbourne game, but he'll be a test

89
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: and should be training today, so.

90
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: It'd be really exciting to see him out there.

91
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: Is provide a bit of spark and energy in that

92
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: Melbourne game, and I think all our fans pretty excited

93
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: to see what.

94
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: He can do.

95
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: Kick.

96
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: A few some pretty big names listed as tests actually

97
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: for this weekend, Alex Pierce, Nat Five, Michael Walters and

98
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: Josh Draper. Do you think any of them will play?

99
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. Yeah, I think Moose is looking

100
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: pretty good.

101
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: He's been on the sidelines for a few weeks, just

102
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: nursing a little ankle, so he'll be a test, but

103
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: I'm pretty confident he'll be right. And Sonny Waltz is

104
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: another one who, like just tweekeds his knee a little

105
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: bit in the Melbourne game, but he'll be a test

106
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: as well. So I suppose I'm not the expert. I

107
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: don't know, but I'm pretty confident those two will be good.

108
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: And Fifey he's been traveling really well. He's sort of

109
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 4: just got back into sort of full training, so i'd

110
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: imagine he'll I'd imagine he'll probably need a few more

111
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: weeks on not a few more weeks, but he'll need

112
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: a bit of match conditioning, but should be expecting him

113
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 4: back soon.

114
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: How do you block out the talk about, you know,

115
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: we haven't even had Round one and talk about finals

116
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: and potentially a flag and all the rest of it.

117
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: How do you block that out without blocking confidence in

118
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: there amongst the players, the playing group.

119
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting.

120
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: It's probably something that we've had to deal with a

121
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: little bit in the past few years, and I suppose

122
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 4: we're at a point now where we're well aware of it,

123
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: and we're ready to embrace that. And it's not something

124
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: we shy away from. It's something we speak about within

125
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 4: the four walls. And I suppose what's really important for

126
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: us is acknowledging those expectations. And we've obviously got expectations

127
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: on ourselves internally, but really just focusing in on the

128
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: process and what's going to help us get us there.

129
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: And we've spoken a lot over this pre season about

130
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: premiership standards and that's the way we want to train,

131
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: that's the way we want to behave on and off

132
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: the field, and I suppose that's what's get that that

133
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: is what gets us there. And we're just going to

134
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: focus on having premiership standards and everything we do and

135
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: hopefully the results sort of take care of themselves.

136
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: And we're going to we're going to lose games.

137
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: The media is going to come for us at times,

138
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: but we just got to internally, I suppose be consistent

139
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: in our approach and our processes each week.

140
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: That worked I think for you last year, that consistency,

141
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: you know, but.

142
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: I think it's going to peak this year.

143
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: That whole you know, carry on about you guys winning

144
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: the flag and everything. So Foe warned, is forearmed in

145
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: how you're going to handle it over Christmas signed the

146
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: AFL's longest steal gratulations. Yeah, but we're so another nine

147
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: years at the club.

148
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: That's almost frank, isn't it. Yeah, I know.

149
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: I was actually kind of happy when Andy signed recently

150
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: because it sort of took the spotlight. We can talk

151
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: about Andy, but yeah, I suppose I forget that that

152
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: did happen, and I suppose it's it's it's interesting because

153
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: I have sort of just moved on. I'm focusing on

154
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: this year, and I suppose that's my approach. I'm very

155
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: very fortunate and very happy to be at the club

156
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: for another nine years, which is which is crazy. But

157
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 4: I'm very much just focused on this year and getting

158
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: the most out of this year. So but yeah, I

159
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: couldn't be happy to be part of the club.

160
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: Well, it's deflected to Andy. It's great twenty thirty one. Andy,

161
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: let's talk about anything straight away for you.

162
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a.

163
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: Big one for the club, isn't I think everyone was

164
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 4: really excited to see that signature and we are as well.

165
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: He's yeah, he's one of them. He's been a really

166
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: important player for the last sort of seven years. And

167
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: I suppose he's a real role model around the club.

168
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: When I got to the club, me and Caleb and

169
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: all these younger he's someone that we really looked up

170
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 4: to as one being a Victorian who's really brought into

171
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: the club and the culture, and he's been a real.

172
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Leader for our club.

173
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's really exciting to see him commit to

174
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: the club for a long time.

175
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: These big, lengthy deals a testament to you know, what

176
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: a great place the club is in as a club

177
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: to want to hang around for that. Otherwise you wouldn't

178
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: be You'd be judging it year by year, wouldn't you

179
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: if you were thinking, I don't know or two. But

180
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: I like the vibe here. It's yeah, it's a great club.

181
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah it is.

182
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of the players are knowing

183
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: something to work at the moment. I think, yeah, we

184
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: certainly feel like something exciting is on the horizon. So yeah,

185
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: we're pretty excited to be to be on board for

186
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: a long time.

187
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: It feels like you always all want to be Caleb,

188
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: you mentioned clubs are wrong as well, like it's almost

189
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: like a pack. Do you want to be there together

190
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: and have a real serious cracking.

191
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Do I want to be the one that misses out?

192
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: Now?

193
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, exactly exactly.

194
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: Our club has been waiting thirty one years for that

195
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: ultimate success, and yeah, and we feel like we've got

196
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: the really unique opportunity to potentially be the first playing

197
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: group to bring a premiership to Freemantle, and I suppose

198
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: that's a really exciting thing and we all want to

199
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: be a part of it.

200
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: And I know how much you guys hurt. You were

201
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: bleeding at the end of last year when with the

202
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: three key injuries, and it's almost why people think you

203
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: weren't trying or something. It's so bizarre. But I know

204
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: that that's going to stick with you a bit and

205
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: help through this year.

206
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Definitely.

207
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: Definitely, yeah, And yeah, it was disappointing the way at

208
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: the end of the year, but we spoke about it.

209
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: I suppose over the off season that even in those

210
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: last few games, we really fought really hard for those

211
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: games and we were a little bit undermanned, but we

212
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 4: feel like that attitude will hold us from really good

213
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: stead that no matter what happens this year, we're going

214
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: to stick together and fight to the very end, and

215
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: hopefully the results go our way, but there's some things

216
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 4: in footy you can't control. And yeah, I suppose we

217
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: spoke about that at the start of the year, as like,

218
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: what are some potential distractions it might come up this year?

219
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: How are we going to deal with two losses in

220
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: a row, how are we going to deal with key

221
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: players getting injured? And yeah, I suppose how are you

222
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: going to respond to that? Because ideally we want to

223
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: be able to respond in a positive way and still

224
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: get results.

225
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's a brunch bounced down on Saturday morning ten

226
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 3: twenty for the Dockers versus the Cats in Guelng. You'll

227
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: be watching, you'll be with them.

228
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: Good luck, Thank you very much,
