1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ninety six airm's own what's Coast Eagle?

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,279
Speaker 2: Elliot?

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Yo, So think Eagles lost to Richmond by one hundred

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: and nine points set off the stadium on Friday night,

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: and we have to cotch up with our man and

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: see how he's traveling.

7
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 3: Elliott, Yeah, good morning, but how are you.

8
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: Good morning morning?

9
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

10
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 4: And going good and going good there he goes, go

11
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 4: very well, thank you.

12
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Very good.

13
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: Not the best of weekends for the club. But you

14
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: have to look on the bright side, don't you?

15
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: You do you do? It's not the not the best

16
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: couple of weeks unfortunately, and not the way that we

17
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: want to be playing and not the way that we

18
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: want to be sort of letting our fans feel at

19
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: the moment. So yeah, not a great spot.

20
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 5: To be in.

21
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: But we've got plenty to work on. We know, we

22
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: know we've got to stay united and we never get

23
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: through it.

24
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: Richmond recorded its highest score total and highest winning margin

25
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: at Optics Stadium. It was West West Coast heaviest defeat

26
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: since two thousand and eight. What what are the first

27
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: things that you're looking at?

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: There's there's plenty to look at. Yeah, so, but I

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: mean they've given a lot of blokes, a lot of opportunities.

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: I think they've played forty two players as well, so

31
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: they sort of I guess the synergy between the group

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 2: at the moment, and I guess the inconsistency with having

33
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: a I guess a structured team in there unfortunately. So

34
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: I guess the bright side is that there's plenty of

35
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: opportunities for the youth. It's just a matter of now

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: trying to get that synergy as because as possible.

37
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Josh Kennedy's an incredible He's a great bloke, but he's

38
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: an incredible footballer, isn't He wasn't a great to see

39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: him past that big, magical seven hundred mic?

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. Yeah, It's just a shame that, you know,

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: he did it in a game where.

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 5: Probably the score was an ideal and and I guess

43
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: a lot of players, you know, I said, I would

44
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 5: have thought, I'm fairly sorry for him out there, and

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: it's pretty heartbreaking room to have him stone like that

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: but not be able to win in the end, And

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: I guess in the same circumstance, not ideal, but it

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: is what it is.

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Liam Ryan, Willie Rioli and Xavier O'Neil all look

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: like they might have had some injury issues during the game.

51
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: How are they today, Yeah, ex Ha's going into more

52
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: scans so we'll find out more. But yeah, he's he's

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: looking a bit stiff and a bit sore at the moment.

54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Liam's walking around, so he I think he should be okay.

55
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of blokes to getting scans, probably

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: either late last night or earlier this morning, so we'll

57
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: find out more to I guess the severity of each

58
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: player and each injury.

59
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: There's been enough problems with person now Lett alone, having

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Tommy from the defense coming out late with a hamstring injury,

61
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: that was a bummer. Hugh Dixon good to have him

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: to come in. But it's just unfortunate.

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: Again, Yeah, it is. It just feels like we must

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: have walked under a ladder or something like that because

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: we're just Yeah, it's it's just I guess, in my time,

66
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that we've you know, we've got to this point.

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: But it's also unfortunate with the I guess the bad

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: luck that we've had with a lot of injuries and

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So some can be managed better, some

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: it's just I guess it's it's one of those unfortunate things.

71
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: So we just need to get through, and you know,

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: it's it's I guess the positives as well is that

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: we're playing a lot of kids as well, which is great.

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: There are a few hamstrings again injuries.

75
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a pretty quick game. So yeah, yeah,

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: it's it's kind of all over shop. Really. I think

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: it's just it's not just handy, it's kind of everything really,

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: to be honest. So you know, we need to sort

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: of probably look at it and I guess go deeper

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: into what's going on.

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: And the game is not going to I'm not going

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: to slow down anytime soon. But yeah, I felt I've

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: always trying to make it quick at now we talked

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: about great Clark and he's career at Tebe.

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: But what a great taboo here we go.

86
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, very that was a very positive world. Yes, yes, yes, exactly.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: So look, I thought he played very well. I thought

88
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: he had a real crack can hold his head high

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: for his first I was just a shame that we

90
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: were you know, we lost by one hundred points, and

91
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: I guess in a daboot that's not an under sort

92
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: of way that you want to be playing your first.

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: Game also a spectacle. Was the first time we saw

94
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: three Riolis in one game?

95
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty electric. So we're having this conversation yesterday the

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: football club on how freaky day all are? So I

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: had three I guess watching that as well as.

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: It is pretty good spectacle, right, absolutely, Elliott yos with us.

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: Elliott West Coast sits eighteenth on the ladder last. Okay,

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: so the first time the team has been eighteenth, because

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: anytime they've been last before, there weren't eighteen teams in

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: the competition. What do you want to say to fans,

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: particularly the ones that still turned out on Friday night

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: despite the thumping.

105
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not it's not an ideal position to be in,

106
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: and we're working hard to turn things around and climb

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: up that ladder as quick as possible. But I guess

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: just a massive thank you to the fans for staying

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: fat really and sticking through it. Yeah, we're going to

110
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: need we're going to need their support all the way

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: through and on the way up.

112
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, It's never been as important exactly.

113
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if they can ride the up through this,

114
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: and they can ride the downs with this, then I

115
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: guess thank you very much.

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well said, terrible time to face Melbourne and

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: Home in two weeks and then Brisbane and Brisbane this week.

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: But that's the way the comp works, isn't it. And

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: just because you're getting the two top teams in consecutive weeks,

120
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: and it'll be another another challenge on.

121
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: On the weekend.

122
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be. And you know we might have

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: a few you know as well with the health and

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: Savor protocols, so we may need to help out players

125
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: this week. So depending on injuries and COVID and stuff

126
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: like that will depend on how the team's going to look.

127
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, look, but the most ideal sort of I

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: guess to start the week going through. But we'll find

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: out more as the week comes along, and you know,

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: we'll do our best trump put our best look forward.

131
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 4: Can we assume you'll be back this week?

132
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: Not this week? Yeah? So I think, yeah, you have

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: to be. You have to be up and running a

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: couple of days post Okay I wasn't sort of I

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: wasn't sort of up and running in a couple of days. Yeah, Unfortunately,

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: I'll be out this week.

137
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: I think it's good though that you know, the concussion

138
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: situation does need to be taken very seriously. So clearly

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: they are taking it more seriously that they than they

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: might have in years gone by. So you know it

141
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: swings and roundabouts. Can't complain really because you've got to

142
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: have your head right.

143
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so. As much as I'd like to be

144
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: playing out there and sort of of you know, getting

145
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: some sort of continuity, yeah, playing and getting moving, unfortunately,

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: your brain is pretty important part of your body and

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: making sure it's right.

148
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

149
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so we're a couple of players, well maybe

150
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: two or three Jackson, Nelson, Alex with it and missing

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: the game with COVID protocols.

152
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: Man, it seems to be the story right now.

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is unfortunately. Yeah, Yeah, there are desting at home,

154
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: which no ideal, but yeah, I mean it's I guess

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: it's the nature of where we're at.

156
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: It's twenty twenty two, isn't it. Really. I mean, I

157
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: feel like the competition has been affected by COVID. This
