Speaker 4: Yes, be delayed, all right, So how was your off season?

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: Very good?

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: Traveling?

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of travel. Yeah, it was very relaxing.

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, last year was not the year I was after

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: and had its challenges. I was looking forward to getting

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: away and just resetting mentally. So I went to Vietnam

30
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: for a few weeks with some of my mates, and

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: then I went to the UK. I went to Ireland

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: and Scotland, which I hadn't been to before and really

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. And then yeah, I spent some time at

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: home with family as well. So it was a good

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: balanced off season and I feel refreshed.

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: When you travel and some of it's, you know, a

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: bit adventurrey. Do you do you get any anything from

38
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: the club saying you hurt yourself come back broken?

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: Wow?

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 4: Are there any guidelines that you have to or do

41
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: they just sort of let you have.

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: Your I think there's a little bit of common sense. Okay,

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: that's fair enough.

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, if there is any anything you got questions about,

45
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: the idea is to ask or just do it and

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: don't get hurt.

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: The advice.

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a little bit of risk taking in life.

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: So I went with the option of just I just

50
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: did it and didn't get hurt. So all, well, that

51
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: ends well.

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Because that's the thing. You can go places and it

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: just like going on a scooter ride.

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: You can get you anywhere. You can get her exactly.

55
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: Didn't get hurt, So happy days. Well that's good.

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Now you play your opening game on Saturday against the Cats.

57
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: They're not going to be very happy after getting the suns.

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: So are you taking that into account that they might

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: be a bit shall we say smiley?

60
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think you have to take it into account,

61
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: But I know I think we're certainly just going to

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: be focusing on playing our best foot because regardless of

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: what Geelong we face on the weekend, if it's the

64
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: Gelong that we saw last weekend or the Along that

65
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: I suppose we are used to seeing and we probably

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: expect to see, the reality is if we don't bring

67
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: our best footy, we're not going to beat anyone in

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: this competition. So we're focusing on bringing our best footy.

69
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: And we're aware of sort of their strengths and some

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: weaknesses that they potentially showed last week. We're probably not

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: expecting to see that again because we know that they

72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: are a strong football club and they've got pride in

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: their performance.

74
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: But it did show that if.

75
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: You put them under a bit of pressure, they can

76
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: crumble and that's what we're hoping to do. But we've

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: got to expect their best and we've got to bring

78
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: our best regardless.

79
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: And never easy at the cattery, No, never easy at

80
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: the at the cattery. There was much panic in this

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 4: studio yesterday when Adrian Barrett's just sort of casually slipped. Oh, Hayden,

82
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: wasn't it training yesterday?

83
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: What happens?

84
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: I lay our fears? Are you okay?

85
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: You look okay? I'm okay.

86
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was had a bit of a lower leg

87
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: last week and so we just managed my load leading

88
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: into round one. So I'll train today and get on

89
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: the plane and happy days. So yeah, nothing too worried about.

90
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: It was an ideal, but yeah, I'll train today and

91
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: feeling good.

92
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: You are set to be without Michael Frederick for what

93
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: about a month? Four games? Happened by an ankle injury.

94
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: What's the Is that still the scene at the moment

95
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: four weeks?

96
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we think so. Roughly.

97
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: It's a bit unfortunate and he's just in a tackle

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: a training someone just came down on his ankle and

99
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: looks like he's.

100
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 3: Done a little injury.

101
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: There so he'll miss a month or so, which is

102
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: disappointing because he obviously got through a full pre season

103
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: and played all the trial games and is a really

104
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: important player for us. But the good thing is we've

105
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: got a lot of depth, particularly in our FOURD line

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: this year.

107
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: We've got some young talent. So I'm not sure who's

108
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: going to fill the.

109
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Role, but we're pretty excited there could be a debutante

110
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: someone else could come in and play that role. See

111
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: the opportunity for someone else to come in and make

112
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: that mark. So yeah, we're hoping Freddie's back very quickly,

113
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: but I'm excited for the opportunity that opens.

114
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: Up some good new players, new new and also Mason

115
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: Cox always been a bit of a fan. Yeah, you

116
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: guys must be pretty happy to move where.

117
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's quite funny. I used to back CONGD.

118
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to be a fan of Mason Cox,

119
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: and then when I played against him, I wasn't a

120
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: fan of which is sort of the impression that you get.

121
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: But then now that is on my team, I'm back

122
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 3: to being a fan of.

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: Because he got the purple rimmed goggles ready to go.

124
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's got the purple ones, that

125
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: would be pretty cool. But he's definitely got the goals

126
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: packed and he's ready to go. So now he's been

127
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: super impressive. He adds another element to our Rock Dynamo

128
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: forward line. He's tall, he's a big character, and we

129
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: love having him around the group. So I'm excited to

130
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: see I'm not sure what the team is, but I'm

131
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 2: excited to see him pull on the purple some stage.

132
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: This year had.

133
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: Last year was the best best year the Doctors have had.

134
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: What do you.

135
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: Realistically think could be? You know, the goal this year finals,

136
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: the final.

137
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: Yes, always the goal, always the goal, always the goal.

138
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: But well, if we just look at what we've achieved

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: over this preseason in terms of our training loads, and

140
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: everyone's come back in really good shape. We're fitter, we're stronger,

141
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: the game plan feels like we're in really good spot

142
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: at the moment. I mean, our preseason games, we felt

143
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: like we're heading in the right direction in terms of

144
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: what we want, and I feel like that's all we

145
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: can control at this stage of the year. And the

146
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 2: competition is very hard and if you look too far ahead,

147
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: you'll get lost in the wins and losses. But the

148
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: reality is, and it's going to be boring. But we're

149
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: just looking to go and want to know to start

150
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: the year and then we'll go from there. And the

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: expectation is we just are really consistent with our performances

152
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: and our preparation each week and hopefully we can just

153
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: keep stacking wins and then the rest will take care

154
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: of itself. But yeah, we're certainly really excited for this

155
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: year and we know what the expectations are externally and

156
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: into one week.

157
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely never a true word spoken in football.

158
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: That is true, that is true boring, Well, good luck, No,

159
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: it's not boring. It's a good idea. Good luck with

160
