• 0:00
  Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and you just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: cracked gags.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I added a lot of color time.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: He went to boss level for Barer's fears.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Have some of this bang good.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Morning, good morning. Yes, rare, double loss, You're right, yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: The Docors have only lost three games, so that's it
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: is very rare. But I think the big story was
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that Lisa watched three games of footing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it was cold, it was you didn't want to.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Get o't wait to get the feedback, and all the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: games it was it was almost a perfect day it
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: opter stadium yesterday for Eagles fans. And now I'm not
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: saying fat Cat has supernatural powers, but someone needs to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: explain what happened to the West Coast Eagles, and I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: think it could be around. You know, they had a
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: shocker against Richmond and then they came out looking like
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a completely different team, and there was one of his difference,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: fat Cat was in the rooms. That's mocked, in my opinion, coincidence.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I'll let you decide. Now, it was a special telethon game.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Fat Cat was there, but some of the incredible little
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: telethon champions and their families that off the stadium and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: both teams even ran through a joint banner. Did you
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: see that at the beginning of the game.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So I didn't see that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had one banner and both teams sort of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: came out side by side and ran through the banner,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: which you're just that sort of cop cooperation just doesn't
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: happen quite rare. In fact, I've never seen it before.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So for the kids, the Eagles exactly, and along the lines,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, on either side a guard of honor. The
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: kids were there, you know, some of the kids in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the wheelchairs and some of the kids, you know. So
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it was so beautiful and the players were sort of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: greeting them and saying, oh, I was It was spectacular
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and you could almost hear the supporters once the boys
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: started the Eagle was saying, oh, there they.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Are, They're back.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You know, it's better.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: There was one story were in it for quite a while.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was one story I will mention about one
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the kids, this inspirational cancer survivor, Matilda pit And
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you might have seen that the Eagles were wearing these
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: warm up shirts. They had pink on them and stuff,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and she had designed that and they matched Harley Read's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: boots and bo Allen's blue boots and the pink boots,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and and she tossed the coin with this little telth
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: On star Jordan Blair, beautiful kid. And she had told
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the asked the players to do a six to seven
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: signal every time he kicked a God do you know
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the six seventh?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know six seven, six.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Seven, you know sort of thing. It's sort of like this,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: like mashed potatoes out of the Joey had to go.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He was not great.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You have to ask him about his six seven.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: But Jack Graham was funny. He had no clue when
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: he kicked his guy. He was throwing his arms all around.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Job Shanahan did well. Daniel Ricardo was there, he was
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: he was in there because the big Eagles man. Heaps
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of Italian soccer players. And you know, Joe he had
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: his best game of the year, best game of ther
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: twenty eight touches, kicked a great goal and afterwards he
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: said that Matilda, the girl who's just finished, the little
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: girl has just finished chemo.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Had inspired him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And now listen to this quote. This is our man.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: YOI when you are younger, you feel emotional and sad
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: when you see sick kids. But when you've got your
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: own kid, it hits you at a whole different level.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'm emotional now. He was tearing up right. The amount
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of resilience her family has shown and the strength encourage
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that Matilda has shown is amazing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: She's a trooper.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: You try to put yourself in that position as a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: parent and it breaks your heart. I count my lucky
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: stars every day. Yeah that's our man, YOI Yeah, that's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the deepest I've ever heard him so well. And I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: looking forward.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: To dad now and yeah, changes everything.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And you've got him.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: What day have you got him?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow morning?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be good. So Doc is no biggie. We
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: thought they might get rolled, didn't we? They played pretty well?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: What you think, Well, I don't just don't. I mean,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But were they putting in one hundred
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: percent because they didn't need to?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Surely it was better to lose a game you can
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: totally afford to lose, than risk anyone getting injured because
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: they were going too hard.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was only towards the end they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: took the foot off the pedal. Well, they won that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: They got back in front, didn't they? And I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you guys are right that Alex Pearce not playing the captain.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It sort of signals a little bit that because he
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: got rested, fully rested. Yeah, just they just left him
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: out and gave him the weekend off. That sends a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: little bit of a message to players that you either
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: think that you can get through or you know, we're
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: on top of the ladder, we don't need to win.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: In fact, this Friday night they could do with losing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Because they don't, then that'll change the ladder such that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they won't play the Brisbane lines. Here in the first line.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably everyone says they don't want to play the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Brisbane lines.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And also, I mean, I'm not one of those blame
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the umpire for everything things. But that guy did take
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a mark in Mooney Ponds. It was it was at
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: least up, it was at least.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Up three rows up into the grand stand. It took
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the mark in mind Moon God's own country from that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: where Dame Edna's from.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, is that right, glady, everywhere the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Mooney Ponds lady. So anyway, there's a few there's a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: few highlights things that did impress us from the weekend
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: big talking points in the AFL at least, did you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: see Eagle Tom McCarthy's tackle of the year. Did you
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: got anywhere? Even if you see that tackle of the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: year late in the game and knocked out of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Collingwood guy in the golf.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I did I saw it when I was looking at
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the highlights this morning.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, ten out of ten for that. Okay, give
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that ten out of ten. What about Brandon Starsivitch dropping
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Ben Allen's boy ed in the middle of the ground.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that one, and.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You know why, I thought that was really good as
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: he could have really killed him if that was John
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Worsfold in the old day, Allen would this morning being
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: hospital at pm h. That's gone, but he would have
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: been because pH was around when he would have gone
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to exactly and Charlie, Yeah, ten out of ten for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: not killing him. Brandon, poor old Mason Cox too lovely fella.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You see that when he took that mark and then
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he turned sideways and he thought he could pass it
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and he kicked it across the goals and the Melbourne
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: guy swooped in marked it ran into an open goal.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So I think I think he might be out of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the team this week. I reckon we played against Seawan Darcy.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Perth played against Sean Darcy and he was very good
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and his big unit. He looks fit. They could have
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: bloody put him in last week they would have helped us.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But our ruckman was very good too, Zack Carding. Other
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: big talking points you mentioned either Danny Frawley game, Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that's beautiful before the game last year, I'm unbelievable before
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the match looking at men's mental health. It's such an
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: important area. And then I don't know about ross Leines
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: mental health though after straight away Nasaiah Wanganeen millerd the.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Season, Yeah, season HEMMI.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And so it looks like the Saints don't make the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: finals will.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They finished two behind, aren't they?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They're going to not going much again, and all the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Carlton people are up and about speaking of Saints people.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Gentleman walking through, he's.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Got a Saints jacket on day to wear it. Sorry,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So are you lost? Are you in the wrong building?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He what's the gain? And then this comment as well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and Eagles coach Minnie Mick Wilder about Pie's superstar Nick Daykons.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is what he said about him.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: He is extraordinary.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: He's my opinion right now, he's the best player in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the competition by a long stretch.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone close to him at the moment.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Wow, quite a long stretch.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But anyway, And I don't know how Hoffey feels because
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: he was tagging him yesterday.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Well you know.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: That decos guys in how many possessions they had yesterday
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: between them?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: How many seventy four?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's like it's not bad.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Could you do anything about that place?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Place?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Somebody stopped those bugs.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: He's going to win all sevens. Cameras would have been
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: just focused on two people.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Nick, He's a living certainty to win the brown Low
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Medal this year.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I can write that one down. That's a big call.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: You.

  Speaker 1: You did tip the Eagles on Friday.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I was almost right. The apologies if

  Speaker 2: Well, ok so, the Adelaide Crow's superstar and one of
• 8:51

  Speaker 1: And that wasn't a great win they had either was It.
