1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Elliott Yo joins us now Elliott.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: There's no sugarcoating it. Quite frankly, it was abysmal.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: It was good, especially watching at home. It was the

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: dogs were certainly far away from me. It's a good

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: thing because.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: It was over their eyes. Have a few cushion missiles

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: flying at the telemte.

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly that, so and a few

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: would be an understated Yeah.

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm just going to mention the obviously you're not in

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: this morning, are you okay, you're not on well or anything?

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm okay, yeah, yeah, just chucking along as okay.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, the team didn't score a goal in the second half.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: There was a lot of new lows reached, quite frankly,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: but it was also the worst loss under Adam Simpson.

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: Mmmmmmm it was. Look. I guess the reality too that

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: we don't really have many of our senior players in.

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I think we're missing two thousand games plus experience, which

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: doesn't help. But I think probably ten or eleven senior

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: players would probably play regularly, you know, aren't playing. So

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: it's great to give the younger kids the exposure, but

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: it's also you know, it can be quite difficult at

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: the same time because you're throwing them in the deep end,

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: so that's the highest thing, and I think at the

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: end of the day, you can only question the intent,

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: and unfortunately that wasn't there either.

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: It is a sort of an unusual position for those

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: younger players to be in because they are getting the

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: exposure because you have this ridiculous number of injuries amongst

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the more experienced players, and that's great for them, but

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, this could be scaring the love

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: of the game out.

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Of them, wearing them out.

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, a lot for them to carry

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: on their shoulders.

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a lot. And generally, especially when I

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: was younger and less in experienced, I think, you know

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: I was. I was extremely lucky. I had a lot

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: of players around me that had a lot of experience

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: that we're able to shoulder the load and sort of

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: help you get through and protect you really because it

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: is a tough game. So unfortunately we just don't have

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: any senior players out there to protect our younger blokes.

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: You know, from a lot of I guess from a

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: lot of talented and experienced.

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: Teams watching the game on the weekend, and it was

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: really impressed. I mean, we know how important dom Shed's

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: been to the footy club. He's so much more than

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: just that kicking the GF in twenty eighteen. But he

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: was really classy on the weekend.

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he had a real crack for us. So

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: you could say that he was trying to trying to

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: get the boys up and about and trying enthusiasms, you know,

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: bring them along. So yeah, I thought he tried to

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: leave for example. Definitely.

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: The injury list is horrendous and continues to grow. With

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: Jermaine Giants any what looks like an ankle injury. Liam

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: Duggan also may have injured his neck. Do you know

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: what happened with him?

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: No, not quite with Dugo I'm sure will find out

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: more in the coming days. But JJ's foot stock standards

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: sort of ankle where they get caught underneath the opposition

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: bar or whatnot. But yeah, I mean hopefully it's good news.

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 2: We'll find out more, I guess probably today, but yeah,

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate for some reason, we just can't escape them

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: at the moment of the stocks.

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the former players, the club, legends of the

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: club and a couple of from South man alway, we

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: speak of Peter semag and Glennjacovitch saying, you know Cimo

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: has got to go and there's got to be changed Insteady,

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: we know that Mizzi is going at the end of

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: next season. But what do you think when you hear

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: people criticizing the coach and would that make any difference.

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, it probably wouldn't.

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: To be honest, I mean, you throw any coach in

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: and especially with an injury, this that large and I

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: think it's too much difference. So and in the end

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: of the day, you can't playing for the loss. That's

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: that's on the players. I mean the players. Every time

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: you rock up, you have to bring the intent and

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: I guess enthusiasm, and it wasn't on the weekend, So

83
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: that's that's on the players.

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: Well, soon I said, it's water off for ducks back

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: and the team spink cupping at all season. But I

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: was thinking of you on the weekend watching it at home,

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: and how many of you senior players were watching it

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: at home? Do you have a bit of a WhatsApp? Okay,

89
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: did you text each other? What was the most remonstrative

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: emoji used?

91
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: We do have a WhatsApp with have. It was pretty quiet,

92
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: it was correct. I think we're all kind of in

93
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: shop watching. Yeah, you know, because all the players as

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: well are in it as well. You don't want to

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: say anything, you don't you know, you want to regret.

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, it's generally something that we'll probably

97
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: have a conversation, you know when we see the boys

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: when we get back.

99
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's be honest. A good team man doesn't text

100
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: and tell.

101
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: Anything in there just about That's exactly right.

102
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: Oh dear.

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, the Eagles face esn't in it up to

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: stadium on Saturday night. So the Bombers Elliott won an

105
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: absolute thriller against the Tigers on the weekend. They won

106
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: by one point, so they're certainly living a different vibe

107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: at their clubs.

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. It was good going too to watch,

109
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: right down to the wire. So, and that's in the

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: beam playing some good footballs. Well, they've been in a

111
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: lot of games throughout most of the years, so you

112
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: know it's going to be a very tough, hard game

113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: and it generally always is against them. The bomb the

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: light to move ball pretty quick over the previous years

115
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: against us, and we found that pretty difficult, I guess

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: looking back at it. So, yeah, it's going to be

117
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: a good game and looking forward to watching it. We

118
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: just obviously need a response from from the weekend as well.

119
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, the last time the Bombers last week

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: having you win, the coach of the opposition quit. How

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: weird is that with hardware going in the middle of

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: the year. It's bizarre, isn't it.

123
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah that was I was not expecting that at all.

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: I think anyone was expecting that.

125
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's well. I'm sure the news is

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: coming out.

127
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: Today, so I think he's doing a press of today.

128
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep. So whether or not that's official or not,

129
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: it's all sort of here. Say, but you know, whether

130
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 2: it's it's going to take an into sort of roll

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: or something like that, or you know he's out good

132
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: who knows that. Yeah, it's a bit of a shop.

133
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, normally coaches get pushed as opposed to going halfway

134
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: through a year or a year and a half of

135
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: a contractman then one, Yeah, you look up to.

136
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: Range fair enough.

137
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: The list of available players doesn't go past twenty six,

138
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: so West Coast will probably see a very similar side

139
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: named for this game.

140
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: Probably. Yeah, maybe one or two might come back.

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Any idea who they might be.

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: Who was running around? He was looking pretty good, so yeah, yeah,

143
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: we'll see. And then depending on a few things, if

144
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: I can get through training and stuff like that, tomorrow

145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: I might be putting my hand up as well.

146
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: So a couple of addition, dashing additions to the backline,

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: perhaps man on the weekend.

148
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: Perhaps, Yeah, I just got to get through main training.

149
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: So if I can do that and take a few

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: things often, Okay, that's why.

151
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: We're keeping you in cotton wool at home this morning.

152
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: There you go.

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: We don't want anything touching you. We don't want you

154
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: taking any stairs, we don't want you eating anything that

155
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been taste tested by someone else before you. Yeah,

156
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: cross up, because you could be the key Elliott.

157
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: It could be just what is needed, open bottles of water.
