Are you're 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: take him? How to get a few boys to take 20 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 2: him out for dinner and we'll talk them? What are 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: you talking? He's done everything so that we're really looking 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: forward to. 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: How good? How did this all come about? 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: I think the all cut offs to a president Rowan Langworthy. 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: I think he knew someone, but I think he's now. 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: He played for Wartored about four times over the years. 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: I think COVID hit and that's another time he cut 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: his hand. And I think there's about the mark mark 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: four or something of trying to get it to happen. 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: So it looks like it's it's going to it will 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: be happening this Saturday, four thirty ath guns. That will 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 2: be awesome. 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: And how do you kind of work like, how do 34 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: you work him into your squad? You know, like you've 35 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: already got your team that you're playing week in and 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: week out. I know we're really early into the season, 37 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: but how do you work someone like this into your squad? 38 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: I think you always make room for the champions. So yeah, 39 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: it's I think he's forty one, so we're not expecting 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: him to turn to turn and turn it on, especially 41 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: in this heat. Not really knowing anyone's names, but I 42 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: think it's just it's good promotion for the footy club 43 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: and good promotion for the whole n TfL. And even 44 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: you know this is the media has been Australia. Whit's 45 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: it's good publicity to the whole whole of dar And 46 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: so just asking anyone if they want to come in 47 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: and watch a champion play, come in and then he's 48 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: able to have a beer. It's free to get into 49 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: the clubhouse afterwards. And he's going to be there late 50 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: and there's alive Ben and everyone's welcome to come and 51 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: have a beer with Swaning. Won't cost you a cent. 52 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: How good it'll be, heaps of fun. Now tell me 53 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: how the first couple of rounds gone for you, guys? 54 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: Not real good. We're not knowing too okay, So we 55 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: need to we need to win this week. 56 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: We've been so he's welcome this weekend. 57 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: We're pretty close to tea. We last week we didn't 58 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: get the chocolates round one. We sort of played everyone 59 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: that had been going to train and we didn't really 60 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: have that big of a crack of it compared to 61 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: points when we play then. But now it's a must 62 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: win game this weekend. So now we're looking forward to 63 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: hope this money can kick a few or get his 64 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: ends on the foot. It's maybe be great. 65 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, what I mean, look how are the boys looking? 66 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 2: Though? 67 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: I know it's always like those first few games in 68 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the you know, in the rounds, it's everyone's always finding 69 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: their feet a bit too, and you're kind of working 70 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: things out as a team. 71 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: We've got we have turned the sport over significant from 72 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: last year. We get as many players come back, repeat, 73 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: come back as we would have would have liked it 74 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: this It is a new squad. And yeah, we're just 75 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: finding our feet at the moment. We've been I've been served, 76 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: we've been writing games, but we need we need to 77 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: win this weekends. Yeah. 78 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Hey, and I know there's been like obviously there were 79 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: some changes announced as well in terms of players flying 80 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: in and all that kind of things. It worked out, 81 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: you know, do you feel as it's working out well 82 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for the league? 83 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I personally myself, I hate it. 84 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: I just run around everyone live here and put their 85 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 2: money back into the dawn economy. I don't think the 86 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: league had any choice. He just couldn't police it. So 87 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: just every week it was as this bloke living here 88 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: on this bloke not living here. So I just think 89 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: it was impossible to police. Coming from the league's point 90 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: of view, Yeah, personally, I hate it. Now I want 91 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: to coach I players a train and I that's what 92 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: I think football's about, and it has changed. I was 93 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: a bit shop round round once. I didn't read the 94 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: I didn't read the room very well. We didn't fly 95 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: anyone in and some clubs will flying seven and so 96 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: I didn't read it well, read what was about it 97 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: happened sort of thing. So I think it's economically viable 98 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: to keep going the way that it's gone. We'll probably 99 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: lighten up a bit, but certainly earlier. So I was 100 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of shot buttes. 101 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look it's always tough as well. You know, 102 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: like you said, it is great if you've got people 103 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: living here and you've got them party are scored each 104 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: and every week. It's a wonderful thing. 105 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Whoever wins the premiership will be we 106 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: will be the team that's got the most players living 107 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: here and down. I'll assure you that. 108 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: Oh well, we're still it a long way to go 109 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: in terms of the season. Rix. So it's going to 110 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: be a massive weekend this weekend. Now, what time is 111 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: everything kicking off? On Saturday? 112 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: Four Thirty's are the main game and then our women's 113 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: games after us. So come in and watch the women's 114 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: game after we have a free entry into the slubhouse. 115 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: Funny will be there. The lady's pretty keen to have 116 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: a few beers with everyone. So yeah, it's bring your family, 117 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: bring the kids, because yet we don't get a player 118 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: of this caliber plan now, local competitions every day. He's 119 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: probably as big a name to ever play in the camp, 120 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: probably since Brendon Vival fully ten fifteen years ago. 121 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: So hell, good to be awesome. Oh well, wonderful stuff, Rick, 122 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: lovely to catch up with you. Go Tars, Thanks, thank you.
