1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Good morning, Anna Hay, good morning.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Hell are we back? We missed you last week?

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Oh, thank ye I missed you guys too. Let's let's

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: talk about.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: The eagle in the room.

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 3: Well it's not in the room, thank god.

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, a massive elephant in the room.

8
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Let's just talk about it. Even the elephant would get

9
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: a few kicks right now. It's not good.

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 4: No, it's really really not good. And you can't help

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 4: but feel sorry for the club. You can't help us.

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: That has been a long flight back from tasmana really.

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 4: Long they when they arrived we had night news crew

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: at the airport.

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: They must have been thrill.

16
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh they would have been.

17
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely a camera just what they want to see on

18
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 4: their phone. Yes, they really did look like the walking wounded.

19
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: It's yeah.

20
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 4: I mean, as we were saying one hundred and sixteen

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: points to lose to Hawthorne, it wasn't like it was Collingwood,

22
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 4: it was Hawthorne who were actually below them on the ladder.

23
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: They were absolutely thrashed by the bottom team.

24
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so fingers are now being pointed. I mean, club

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: greats have come out, Glenn Jakovic said. Adam Simpson has

26
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: to go. Mark Lakras said it actually made him sick

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: just sitting and watching. But then he also said it's

28
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 4: not time to get rid of Adam.

29
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: Simpson to be productive or not.

30
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: I mean maybe short term you might get a couple

32
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: of slight improvements, but if they want to play the

33
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: long game here, keeping Adam Simpson is probably the way

34
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 4: to go.

35
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Cane Corn's he loves to say a few things, but he's.

36
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: Come out and said I'd be surprised if Adam Simpson

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 4: last year, so.

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: Well prepared to be surprised.

39
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you're on team Adam.

40
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, absolutely that What would be the point bringing

41
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: a new coach?

42
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's any one thing, is it.

43
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: No, it's going to be you know, it's yeah, Sacking

44
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: Adam Simpson isn't going to bring back Luke Shuwey, Jeremy McGovern, yeah,

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: you know every week. Yeah, But I think people want

46
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: some sort of answers today that can up and maybe

47
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: the CEO chavenis but needs to come out and address

48
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: the claims. Maybe he needs to come out and in

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: backing of Adam Simpson, I'm not sure.

50
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: I think fam I think he needs to come out

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: and address Yes.

52
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: Yes, it is questioned as someone who doesn't really get

53
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 3: it would be why are there so many injuries? Don't

54
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: they have people, you know, in the team that's job

55
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 3: is to make sure not everyone's injured.

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 4: They do, They absolutely do. So that will be looked at,

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 4: whether that's you know, now or at the end of

58
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: the year. But something is going to have to change

59
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 4: because there can't be that many injuries. And we saw

60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: more injuries yesterday with Jamaine Jones. Yeah, done an his ankle,

61
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: so he came out, he was subbed off, and then

62
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 4: Liam Duggan didn't finish the game either.

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Oh don't go really, yeah, So how.

64
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Can there be this many injuries?

65
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: But I think people are disappointed that there was also

66
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: no fight from.

67
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: The youngster and it was very fumbly that game as

68
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: well from the Eagles point of view, and that was

69
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: disporting because I think that's why Simo was so upset. Yeah,

70
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: it was about that effort and that intent, and also

71
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: the skills were really down.

72
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: And exactly and that's why club greats have come out

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: and said it was hard to watch, made me feel

74
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: sick to watch. So fans I think want answers, They

75
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: want something to change. It is really hard to watch,

76
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: and it is really hard to know where to go

77
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: from here and where they are going to go from here.

78
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: But when you look through the AFL injury list right now,

79
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: it is extraordinary. And you see all the other clubs

80
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: and there's a few there because it's mid season, and

81
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: then you look at the Eagles, it's like page in half.

82
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: It's phenomenal.

83
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it really is a mess.

84
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: So I think today they'll be licking their wounds, they'll

85
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 4: be having a really hard look at themselves. But there

86
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: is no quick fix, and I think people are going

87
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: to have to ride this one out, whether that's with

88
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: Adam Simpson or without Adam Simpson.

89
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Either way, it's not going to be a quick fix.

90
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: This is a long term thing.

91
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: But you just hope that the youngsters like Reuben, Jimmy

92
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: and Jy Cully they stick it out because we need them.

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: We need them to hang around to rebuild this club.

94
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there you go, guilty, Now.

95
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: Get on, you come on here we go.

96
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Gloating run. But three wins in a row and we

97
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: beat last year's Grand finalists consecutive weeks.

98
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did say, I don't think we did notice.

99
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: You just slipped that in that you know, the term

100
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: grad find lest and beat that.

101
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the raining Premiers.

102
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: What do I feel guilty?

103
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 4: All right?

104
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: It was a great, It was a great.

105
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 4: It was a great And I remember saying a couple

106
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: of weeks ago they had a really hard, you know,

107
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: few games coming up and they did have to win

108
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: a couple of those if they wanted to play finals.

109
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: And they have done that to win three in a

110
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: row against.

111
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: The reigning premiers, and really positive signs coming out of

112
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: their forward line.

113
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Youngster g Ams he finished with.

114
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: Three goals, so that that was their sort of the

115
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: kryptonite at the start of the season.

116
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: The forward line was just letting them down.

117
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: It seems now that Fife's coming back and playing a

118
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: bit of mid and forward role and gis dead eye Gie,

119
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: he's he's kicking as well, So really positive science. They

120
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 4: do look like the Frio from from last year. Yeah,

121
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: so it's like they've clicked into gear and yeah they

122
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: could be well on the flag Mantle train. That didn't

123
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: make sense, but we're on the flag Mantle train.

124
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 2: They're on their way right in the back line keeping

125
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: Jess Cameron to no goals, which is quite bizarre. Because

126
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's been a great goal kicker all.

127
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Years, fantastic, So that was really good efforts.

128
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: So that's the thing that the defense is looking like

129
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: it did in twenty twenty two.

130
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: The engine room, it's firing again.

131
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: In the forward line is finally you know, has five

132
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: there and it's their scoring.

133
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: So did you feel like you're not allowed to get

134
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: it's excited because.

135
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: You might watch because it's such dire situation that the Eagles,

136
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: you know, the other I know some of these Eagles

137
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: blokes feel for yeah, of course, yeah, but I'm also

138
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: not getting too carried away because it's round ten. I

139
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: must admit it was great. That's very dockery of it.

140
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: But it does feel flat in town today and I

141
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: don't know, like everyone when the do badly, there does

142
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: seem to be a bit of a you know, a

143
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: bit of a runs puffing and puffy.

144
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go that far, but well you've

145
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: got a spring in your step, that's right.

146
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: Right after a hard week off field. North had some

147
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: on field drama too.

148
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: They did, and they really didn't need this.

149
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 4: They really deserved a win, I thought, after you know,

150
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: Alistair Clarkson stepping down. Oh yeah, yeah. Basically North led

151
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: by three points with just a minute left to go,

152
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: but the Swans were awarded a free kick in front

153
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: of gold due to due to an interchange blunder. Oh

154
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: and then so they got the goal and then they

155
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: got the win. So the interchange cap is seventy five

156
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: in a game North was on seventy four. They were

157
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: making their last change but another player ran onto the bench.

158
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: They made two changes and then were penalized.

159
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, it would have taken the official from the

160
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: club to stop the guy in the chest. No, fortunately didn't.

161
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: So it's really disappointing for them. And you don't see

162
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: it that off. I don't really, I don't remember seeing that,

163
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: and I think quite a few of the players were

164
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: confused on the ground as to what was happening. But

165
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: just a really unfortunate series of events there when a

166
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: win could have really I guess boosted their spirits for

167
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: the weeks.

168
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Not only a free kick, it's right in front of goals.

169
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: So Sydney won a game they shouldn't have won.

170
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: I know, No, just the placement unfortunate.

171
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of boosted spirits, the Western Force had theirs boosted.

172
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: They snapped a fourteen a game losing streak against the Brumbies.

173
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: They did.

174
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: And to put this into perspective, the last time Force

175
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: beat the Brumbies, Kevin Rudd had just begun his second

176
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: term as Prime minister. I know, and doesn't it? A

177
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: vichis Wake Me Up was the world's number one song.

178
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: Oh I remember that, yes, my teenage years.

179
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: Then they're in good form now, the Force.

180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: They are so I mean the Brumbies to their defense,

181
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: they had made twelve changes from last weekend and we're

182
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: missing a raft of Wallabies due to Rugby Australia's World

183
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: Cup rest protocols. But it doesn't matter. They western fourth

184
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: still won thirty four nineteen. It's their fifth win from

185
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: five home games and it's moved them back into the

186
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: eighth into eighth spot on the ladder with just two

187
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: games to play.

188
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, changes in a week. It's very eagle issue, isn't it.

189
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: It's like we're all getting PTSDs that now it's like, no,

190
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: not good.

191
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. A win is a win in

192
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: my books.

193
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: What about a giant West? Was he cricketer doing well?

194
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh, Cameron Green, we love to see this.

195
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: So he smashed his first IPL century for Mumbai Indians

196
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,359
Speaker 4: against the Sunrises and sent his team into the playoffs.

197
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: So he smashed eight six's and.

198
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: Eight fours off forty seven balls to lead his team

199
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: to the eight wicket win. So he has a massive

200
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: price tag in the IPL three point one five million,

201
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: and I think good and what would.

202
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: You do with that?

203
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: Anything you want?

204
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: But I think people.

205
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: Were sort of waiting for him to do something quite

206
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: spectacular and he's done it. So before that he you know,

207
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: he'd done well but had a couple of half centuries,

208
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: but this was like, wow, you need.

209
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: Something extraordinary with that kind of pay packet.

210
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: It is a lot so good to say in w

211
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,839
