1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Good morning, Elliott, Good morning. Have you here? Good to

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: be here.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: The Eagles lost to Port Adelaide in Adelaide by forty

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: points on Saturday. Look, it was once again some good signs,

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: some good quarters, but another poor second quarter that might

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: have cost the game.

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, pretty much summed it up. Yeah, which is

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: frustrating because you know, we're playing very forty for three

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: quarters and then that's that second past two weeks and

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: throughout probably stages of the year as well, we're just

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: really letting ourselves down and it's bags at goals as

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: well that we're not able to stop the bleeding. So yeah,

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: we spoke about momentum last week and we're still trying

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: to correct that as well.

15
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 4: It is unusual, isn't it, for you know, just the

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 4: team just having the one win, but to be so

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: dominant for periods of play because begs are goals, but

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: begs are goals four too, so there's a lot of this.

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 4: It's certainly a good method.

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: There, absolutely, but it's also frustrating to you You can

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: see how close we are, and you can see the

22
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: fact that you know, we'll have control of the game,

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: but we don't capitalize and we don't make the most

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: of our opportunity.

25
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: So as a player, as.

26
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: A supporter, I'm sure as a coach as well, probably

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: it can be quite frustrating, but it's I don't think

28
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: we're far away from kicking a few bags of goals

29
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: as well ourselves. Well.

30
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: I looked up frustrating in the dictionary this morning and

31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: got this Luke Shaw. We look returned from a hammy

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: only to to suffer an ankle injury. He looks out

33
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: for a month.

34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: There are no words.

35
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, must have seen a black cat across the road exactly,

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: something like that.

37
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, we probably both did together.

38
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: He does injuries too. By two though, he's like Noah's ark.

39
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we had a running gag pretty much said

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: it will tag team boots and Iyes. I was like,

41
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: I get injured, he'd come back in and then he'd

42
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: get injured then, you know, so it was vice versa.

43
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, just frustrating for you know, the team, for him,

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: for everyone really involved. So hopefully that's the end of

45
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: it and we can get him a good build and

46
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, both of us we can be out in

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: the park and play some good football.

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're end of this.

49
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: Big from Joe Kelly who's got the Rising Star nomination

50
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: and a bunch of goals and a shin of the boot.

51
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 5: But good footballer those kid, Yeah he is.

52
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: He's tough with nails too, which is you know, and

53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: he hasn't feeding and crack as well, so that's all

54
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: you can ask for and good to see him.

55
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Get their reward as well. Four goals, it's not easy,

56
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: not easy at all.

57
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: So yeah, and he was announced as the round six

58
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: AFL Rising Star nominations. Now that's two players this season,

59
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: so that is a reflection of just how good some

60
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: of the play is. It's really weird.

61
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: It's exciting.

62
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: You can't be second last on the ladder and have

63
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: two Rising Star nominations unless there's something.

64
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's there's positive st Yeah, there's positive signs

65
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: that the young crop that we've got coming through. And

66
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: I still think that there will be more players as

67
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: well that that might get nominations this year as well.

68
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: So look, I'm I'm excited by the young kids that

69
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: we've got coming through. Ye you know, they're going to

70
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: be the future of the club and hopefully they can

71
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: lead into the next flag. But we've got to kind

72
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: of protect them and shoulder the load as much as

73
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: we can and try and get as much experience into.

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: Them before you know, we obviously all carget and see

75
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: you later, but.

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Not a sign you know that things aren't being well represented,

77
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: you know in the results is. At a Median media

78
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: conference on Tuesday, Culli said that coach Adam Simpson is

79
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: actually the most positive person at the club right now,

80
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: despite the injury crisis and what's been going on. So

81
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: there's it's it's unusual times at the Eagles, it is,

82
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: but I.

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Think the rule the effort is there.

84
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: So as a coach you're probably looking into that and

85
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: going she's really having a crack here and we're probably

86
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: just we're lacking that little bit of polish which comes

87
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: with probably a bit of experience and training and all

88
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: that stuff which just takes time. But as a supporter,

89
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: as a coach, as a player, you can see that

90
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: we're having a red hot dip and that's all you

91
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: can ask. So I think sim I was just trying

92
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: to find the positives as well. You know, you could

93
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: dwell on a second last or.

94
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: You could be clearly he does see positives exactly exactly,

95
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: and especially with young, they're not put.

96
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: At hiding their feelings coaches are. They then do very

97
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: well and very well ones.

98
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, even he's very restrained as well, and sometimes

99
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: you know, let's get out of the bag.

100
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: It's it's you really know.

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is great, but yeah, I think

102
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: just where we're at, where the list is at, you know,

103
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: you've got to find the positives, and especially with the

104
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: young kids, if you may as well just go home, exactly.

105
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 5: Want to get your thoughts on this.

106
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: If everyone was available full squad, would Jimby and Kelly

107
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: have plays the same number of games as they had,

108
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: do you think? Or they'd be a bit more protected

109
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: because you can tell the guns.

110
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Well, that's a silver lining too.

111
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: So I think Rubes might have been to a certain extent,

112
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: might have been managed a bit just because he's the

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: first year and I remember my first year.

114
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: By halfway through the I was absolute cooked.

115
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 5: Yeah I've thrown him into the coal face too.

116
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, correct, So they would have probably managed him

117
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: a bit more. But I guess the silver lining is

118
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: is that if you can get as many games into

119
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: him as possible, then that's experience that you know, is

120
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: absolutely paramount for I guess the growth of them and

121
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: then for the team as well. So yeah, there's I

122
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: guess there's two sides of the coin that you could

123
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: look at. But if we had a full list, I

124
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: reckon both of them probably would have been a bit

125
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 3: more managed. Maybe Ji would have been a bit more okay,

126
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: because he's had that sort of half a year already

127
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: in the system and had a bit more of a

128
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: building rooms. But yeah, even then, I guess there's positives

129
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 3: to both.

130
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: West Goest player Carlton at Optus this Saturday bouts downs

131
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: at five forty. Now Elliott. Just having the two most

132
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: recent Coleman medalists in the forward line make face in

133
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: Carlton a defensive nightmare.

134
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely it does. Next question, so, what's hard enough?

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: Having won teams would have probably you know that going

136
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: to when we had JK that going our game's going

137
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: all we're going to have to stop jack K killing it.

138
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, imagine two of them, Yeah, yeah down there,

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, it's tough, caper.

140
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: So how will you get around it?

141
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Well, you get it, Well, just hope that the ball

142
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: doesn't come down there. Well, I guess that's the key,

143
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: just to get it. It's better than the cure exactly.

144
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: So if you prevent the ball from going down there,

145
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: and you win in in the midfield and we could

146
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: get forward, then you don't have to worry about them.

147
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: But in an idea word, that doesn't happen.

148
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: I know you'd rather be out there, but maybe not

149
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 4: in the backloade again on the weekend made I'd.

150
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Like to try and help stop it at the source.

151
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like I said, preventions better than the cure.

152
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Shannon Horn is expected to return.

153
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: Are there any other maybes?

154
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: Harry Edwards tomb She no along you definitely not me,

155
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: definitely not you, No, no, So long in all that,

156
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: today's main training, so there'll be they'll have a few

157
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: fitness tests and then we'll see how we go. So

158
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: Hearn's looking likely pending on a few things as well,

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: but the few others as well. They're you know, pending

160
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: fitness tests today and getting through main training. Then you know,

161
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens, but that likely.

162
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: It's a lot of focus on stats these days. I

163
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: looked at the after the Accountant game and they lost.

164
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: Cherry got thirty nine, Walsh Sammy washed thirty eight and

165
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: Crips thirty four and they still lost that game of footy.

166
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: That's a lot of getting the footy.

167
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, it is, But yeah, I mean it

168
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: looks like teams as well are going to that high

169
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: possession fick the ball around. Doggies did it in sixteen,

170
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: still sort of do it. They flick the ball around

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: the contest and then once they're out there out but

172
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: they take that extra couple more So teams are starting

173
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: to do that a bit more. But yeah, I mean

174
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: if they can still hurt you and impact you, then yeah,

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: you definitely got to look at it and try and

176
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: nullify it as much as possible.

177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

178
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,200
