Speaker 1: David Monday.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 2: Hello, good morning.

3
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: How's the retirement tour going?

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Great?

5
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: It's the farewell tour.

6
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's or finally almost over. Yeah, but it's been great.

7
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: My wife and family and I have been in Melbourne

8
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: for a few weeks after our Collingwood game and I

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: just got back into the Perth on Monday. So it's

10
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: nice come back to this kind of weather.

11
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: So you really soaked up that whole week leading up

12
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: to the Grand Final a couple of weeks really. First

13
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: of all, the brown.

14
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Low, how was that fantastic?

15
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's always nice to sit on the table

16
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: with someone who gets a few votes like Andy did

17
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: this year and like Matt has done in the past,

18
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 3: so makes it a little bit more exciting and more involved.

19
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was great experience, and he did very

20
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: well obviously, So.

21
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a nice one.

22
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: I think you've got a couple of votes in your

23
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: last home and away game.

24
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 3: I managed to scrape a couple, unfortunately, because we were

25
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: hoping Andy would bump up his tally a bit in

26
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: that last round, but he did it.

27
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: But he's such a decent human being.

28
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and unlike Patraka Petraca, he got your name right

29
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 5: as well, we'll Gil and he called.

30
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: It yeah, thankfully.

31
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christian wasn't heavy with that.

32
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: So the Grand Final day, how was that?

33
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: Very nerve wracking?

34
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: That was the biggest crowd at the MCG, like more

35
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: than a hundred thousand twenty four.

36
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what held that many people.

37
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: One hundred percent capacity. Every allocated ticket was utilized.

38
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: Incredible, one hundred twenty five.

39
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: They really missed it being there, fre coup.

40
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not wrong.

41
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: It was great.

42
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: Obviously day I grew up backing for Geelong and my

43
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: dad has really quickly reverted back to being a Geelong Tragic, right,

44
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: And I even ended and I gave he and my

45
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: elder sister who's also Geelong tragic, my tickets and they

46
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: went along and got.

47
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: To see it, which was great. I was part of

48
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: the retirees lat.

49
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: With my children and wife in the back of the

50
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: highlights before the game, which was pretty amazing and great

51
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: to be able to share that with them.

52
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: So that was nerve wrecking? Was it? That? Part of

53
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: what was nerve wrecking?

54
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Now?

55
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: The nerve wracking part was I was asked to get.

56
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: Norm Smith medal votes, okay, and When I was initially asked,

57
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: I was like, no way, it's too much responsibility.

58
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: I just want to go and enjoy the data. Yeah,

59
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm in a function room. I just want to enjoy it.

60
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: But I ultimately said yes, and I was very nervous.

61
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: It was like I was playing going into the game okay,

62
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: and then after the game, I eventually I feel like

63
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: I got it right. I gave Isaac my three, which

64
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: was fantastic, and when he was announced as the Norm

65
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Smith Medal winner, it.

66
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Was like I had won. I celebrated that hard in

67
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: that function room.

68
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: I spent the last half of the game watching it

69
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: by myself because everyone around me had given up by

70
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 3: that point enjoying the bar and the function of things.

71
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: Was sitting there by myself, drinking my lemonade, watching the

72
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: second half of the ground.

73
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: So you didn't get tank didn't give it at all.

74
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: Votes to Buddy, my.

75
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: First alcoholic beverage was at the final side.

76
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: Well done, very professed.

77
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: I was very dedicated, but yeah, I was very nervous

78
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: going in.

79
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I felt justified when he when they put it around

80
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: his neck.

81
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: So how did I did your kids enjoy the because

83
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: you said they were more nervous than you.

84
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

85
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: So the Grand Final day it was a bit of

86
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: a shamozzle with selling. My wife and I were up

87
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: in Melbourne already, yeah, and my mum and younger sister

88
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: had to bring our three children down from Seymour, which

89
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: is an hour and a half from the MCG so

90
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: they drove halfway, jumped on train, big process. Yeah, but

91
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: we ultimately got into the back of the highlus utes

92
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: underneath the stadium and all three of my kids were

93
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: in the back with me and Shane Edwards and his

94
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: beautiful young daughter who was sitting perfectly on his knee,

95
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: really nicely, and my kids.

96
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: Are just running an absolutely mark in the back of

97
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: this car.

98
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: And I said it to a few people eating in

99
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: but at that moment I was like, there is every

100
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: chance that one or all of my children at any

101
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: point in this lab jump off, run go meet Robbie

102
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: Williams and Delta Good. So sitting there like, oh, really nervous.

103
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: If they go, I'm not going someone else can catch it,

104
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: of course. But anyway, as we got up onto the Oval,

105
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: onto the playing one hundred thousand people in the stands

106
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: and that kind of noise and everything, it actually spooked them.

107
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a few photos and a few videos of

108
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: them just sitting there really nervously.

109
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: Holding onto the roll bar a gentle wave.

110
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: Well you found the secret. Now every time they're giving

111
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: your grief.

112
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: So it was great.

113
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: And then as we were going around, my dad and

114
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: my sister made themselves really obvious where they.

115
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: Were sitting and okay, so.

116
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: It was great to see them.

117
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: And then my dad got to enjoy the day obviously

118
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: watching Geelong win the Grand Final, but being asked by

119
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: everyone in his.

120
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Section for a selfie.

121
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: Oh really, because so obvious to we'd wave back and yeah,

122
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: he really lapped up that attention.

123
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good day.

124
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

125
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 5: Well, like of the kids didn't jump to a runner,

126
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: get you lifetime bands from the.

127
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: Problem the first mondays too.

128
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Now Geelong one with the oldest team in AFL history.

129
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Did that make you.

130
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: Think, hang on, hang on, what am I doing? I'm

131
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: on once second.

132
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm just entering the Geelong recruitment never too late. Yeah,

133
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: I got fifteen years left apparently. No, they did it

134
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: very well and I was very pleased with them, obviously

135
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: because they'd stuck to their guns and they'd been criticized

136
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: and ridiculed a bit for it over the last couple

137
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: of years, falling.

138
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: A little bit short. But yeah, they doubled down and they.

139
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: Got there watching at the ground like you were drinking. Yeah,

140
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 5: you're having your lemonade, so you were watching intently. Were

141
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: they ever a chance Sydney or was it over because

142
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 5: watching on at home, it just felt like it was

143
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 5: never a chance.

144
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

145
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: They Yeah, Gelong really dominated early, dominated field position in particular,

146
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: and from about halfway through the first quarter, Dangerfield in

147
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: particular really got going around the contest around the stoppages

148
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: and started to dominate that area. And Silwood's first quarter,

149
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: Isaac's first quarter, Tomahawks, Tomahawk's first quarter.

150
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: Really they came to play and they were ready to go.

151
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think Sydney lacked a bit of that

152
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: experience that some of those guys having big finals, a

153
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: big games. So yeah, they looked a little bit overwhelmed

154
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: the Sydney some of the Sydney boys, and yeah, along

155
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: from the outset really dominated.

156
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: Paddy Dangerfield wanted his premiership, didn't he. Monster?

157
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: He's incredible how he goes about it.

158
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, still one more chance to get all dressed up

159
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the Doorg Medals coming up, Yeah, it is. What's your

160
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: prediction for that?

161
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: I think Andy will be a fairly clear runaway winner.

162
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: He's had an amazing career, amazing year, amazing crew so far.

163
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's obviously dominated the Brownlow Metal votes for

164
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: US this year, and he's been so consistent throughout the season,

165
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: So I think he'll be our winner.

166
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: Big Sean, he'd probably be up there with cayleb Baby and.

167
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Sean, Yeah, he'll probably have another strong second

168
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: half of the count. I'd imagine he came to the

169
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: year a little bit thin with some interruptions in the preseason,

170
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: but yeah, he Brendan Cox will probably be right up there,

171
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: I imagine. Yeah, Caleb had a good year as well,

172
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

173
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 5: And the stats David Munday top five eleven times in

174
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 5: the last thirteen years. I think it might make it

175
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: twelve out of four.

176
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we'll add to that one.

177
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: Thank you for bringing that up, a big stat.

178
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: What are you planning to do now? Just have a

179
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: little bit of a rest for a while before you

180
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: decide what's ahead in twenty three.

181
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, I'm actually really keen and eager to figure

182
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: out what our next pathway is.

183
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was very exciting.

184
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great to be mailble for a few

185
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: weeks to meet a lot of people in the industry

186
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: and network in that fashion. But yeah, my wife and

187
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: I are now back in town and trying to figure

188
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: out our directions. So there's a lot of big questions

189
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: and a lot of big unknowns at the moment.

190
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: But lack, you haven't got a job.

191
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Take a moment to take a breath and you know,

192
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: because yeah, we'll have that chance again.

193
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: We haven't had that breath yet. No, no, yeah, Shan Darcy.

194
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 5: Who's going to hug the big fellow in the future

Speaker 2: I know? Yeah, Oh he's very huggable.

197
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320
