1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Football season is creeping closer and closer and closer. It's

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: recruiting season too.

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: It is.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 3: They have a lot of staff at football calls they do.

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 3: These are not a medical staff. There's one to rub

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: you down, there's one to get the oil ready, there's

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 3: one to there's one to tell you to walk it

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: off when you come off with a bit of a

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: twisted ankle. But now Port Adelaide has a therapy dog.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: They've introduced Albert, the labradood or pupil who's going to

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: provide support across the men's and women's programs. Albert will

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 3: eventually undergo therapy dog training, with evidence showing dogs can

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: help athletes manage stress and improve overall well being. Well,

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: it's not just athletes, you know, No radio announcers could

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: go a therapy dog.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: One of the Port Adelaide players saying, it's very, very exciting.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: He's an exciting recruit, probably the best one, which is

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: he's an important one. If he's the best one, that's

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: probably a little bit of a worrying sign for the season.

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: I want to look at the picture.

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: I want to play up forward or down back.

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he will be.

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: I'll play everywhere?

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Did you ever have it?

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: Do you remember when something would happen at school and

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: there'd be a dog on the dog on the grounds,

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: and the word would go out.

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Dog at the school, dog at the school.

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Well it would shut everything down, everything would stop, Stay

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: away from the dog by bite.

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: What is it about dogs and people? Therapy? Dog?

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean thinking you'll give it a go zink. You'd

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: be happy to come in and just wander around and

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: look at everyone with their beautiful big guys.

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: So Albert is Labrad.

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I've got a which is half poodle. Think he's half poodle?

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I've got Ruby who his kvoodle. Yes as well.

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: And well, let's face it, our dogs are up early.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are exactly.

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: They might do something with their own.

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: They do give that look when we walk out the door.

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Really actually, sometimes I don't even get the look. Sometimes

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: it just rolls over and just tries to look the

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: other way, just doesn't care anymore. In the early days,

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: it was what the hell is going on? It's dark?

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Now it's just like you again.

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: The time I get the really classic look is if

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: Siggers had to spend the night at the you know,

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: doggy hotel, the boarding kennel, and so I'll pick her

50
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: up and she'll sit on the seat as she does,

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: next to me, and I'm driving, and I'll look over

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: and she's she just looks away, so she's staring at me,

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: but then she'll look away as soon as I look

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: at it.

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: She's so dramatic.

56
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't. I just don't even get

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a look anymore. I don't doesn't even look up. No,

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: but so not much of a therapy dog mate. Maybe

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Ruby's not a good well, nor is Albert yet.

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: Albert is just a Albert's ready to go to therapy dogs,

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: but hasn't gone yet.

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: But Albert won't have to get up. You know that

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: early footballers don't get up that early.

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't think Albert has to be Sigmund Freud. I

65
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: think that Albert just has to look at the player

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: and they're going to feel better.

67
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: That's the thing about therapy dogs.

68
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: I don't really have to you know, do those rushback

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: things with your an.

70
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: They don't have to hymnotize you or anything.

71
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: They just they just sit there, walk around and life

72
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: is better.

73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: In the in the change room.

74
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: Yes, maybe leave a little present for everybody when they

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: come back time for the speech. We wish, we wish

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: Albert a lot of luck, but not too much luck.

77
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: We don't want you to help it out.

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: I wonder if he's getting paid under the salary cat

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: it's getting paid.

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Raco cap, I don't think the AFL

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: count Powell in their.

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: Is Pelstal a thing?

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I think so.

84
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: It's still so chumpy. You could carve it.

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: That's that's something else I might try it.
