- 0:22Speaker 3: Hayden Young, good morning.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Here we are.
- 0:25Speaker 4: He looks refreshed and a little bit relaxed.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:28Speaker 4: He's just got a little bit of time off.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, got a week off because of the wildcard round.
- 0:32Speaker 3: First of all, congratulations, finishing on top, minor premiers. Does
- 0:36Speaker 3: it have a solid meaning for the team?
- 0:39Speaker 1: It does, yeah. It is a good achievement.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. But it's certainly not what we set out at
- 0:46Speaker 2: the start of the season to achieve. But we've put
- 0:48Speaker 2: ourselves in a great position heading into the finals.
- 0:50Speaker 1: And that's great.
- 0:52Speaker 2: So, yeah, we get a home final now, which is
- 0:55Speaker 2: massive for our fans and massive for us. And, yeah,
- 0:58Speaker 2: when we look back at the season and look at
- 1:00Speaker 2: the body of work that we were able to do,
- 1:01Speaker 2: it's something to be proud of.
- 1:03Speaker 4: The problem is 10 years from now, no one remembers
- 1:06Speaker 4: who won the minor premiership. They only remember who holds
- 1:09Speaker 4: aloft the cup.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 1:10Speaker 4: That's the goal.
- 1:12Speaker 1: This is true.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Yep.
- 1:13Speaker 3: The result against Carlton wasn't ideal, six goals in it.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Are there lessons to take away from that or are
- 1:19Speaker 3: you just moving on?
- 1:20Speaker 1: No, definitely some lessons. Yeah, definitely some lessons.
- 1:23Speaker 2: It obviously wasn't our best day at the office and yeah,
- 1:26Speaker 2: we're obviously disappointed with that but I suppose going into
- 1:30Speaker 2: finals it's better to, you know, have those lessons now than,
- 1:33Speaker 2: you know, play in a final and not perform well
- 1:35Speaker 2: and we had a.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Really good review yesterday.
- 1:37Speaker 2: It was pretty short and sharp and we looked at
- 1:39Speaker 2: a few key things that weren't quite up to scratch and, and,
- 1:43Speaker 2: not just this week, but maybe a few trends that
- 1:45Speaker 2: we've seen over the last month, the things that we
- 1:47Speaker 2: can really tidy up, um, which should just keep, leave
- 1:50Speaker 2: us in a good spot and allow us to sharpen
- 1:52Speaker 2: up heading into finals.
- 1:53Speaker 4: And as we've discussed before, uh, like you guys are
- 1:56Speaker 4: an informed team. So are Carlton. Like they are just, they're, they're.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Obviously got to give credit to them. They were great
- 2:02Speaker 2: on the night and they're definitely informed at the moment. And, um, Yeah, no,
- 2:07Speaker 2: they were good at competition. Yeah.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Now this is how informed you are. You have five
- 2:12Speaker 3: all Australians this year. Uh, what does that say about the,
- 2:15Speaker 3: the depth of the squad?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we've, we've had some amazing sort of performances
- 2:21Speaker 2: this year from a lot of our players. And, um,
- 2:23Speaker 2: we even had, yeah, there's obviously a few more that
- 2:24Speaker 2: were in the, the all Australian squad that weren't selected
- 2:26Speaker 2: in the team that, well, you know, you could argue
- 2:29Speaker 2: we're deserving of. So, um, No, it's great to see
- 2:32Speaker 2: there's players that have elevated their games. Like a lot
- 2:34Speaker 2: of them are first time Australians, Josh Tracy, Murphy Reed,
- 2:38Speaker 2: Luke Jackson, Shea Bolton, I believe. Yeah. He's first as well. So,
- 2:42Speaker 2: and obviously Jordan Clark's going back to back, which is amazing. So, um, yeah,
- 2:46Speaker 2: it just shows that there's, um, great depth across all
- 2:49Speaker 2: of our lines as well. Like if you look at that,
- 2:50Speaker 2: that squad, there's a defender forward midfielder. Um, so we're
- 2:54Speaker 2: well spread across the field and, um, yeah, it's an
- 2:57Speaker 2: absolute luxury and, um, really proud for those boys.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Um, were you a little shocked by Sam Switkowski's decision yesterday? Was, uh,
- 3:05Speaker 4: were you, were you surprised blindsided or did you see
- 3:09Speaker 4: signs that he was going to pull?
- 3:10Speaker 1: Uh, no, I was completely shocked. Um, yeah, I didn't know.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Um, I knew he was sort of out of contract
- 3:16Speaker 2: at the end of the year and I was assuming
- 3:17Speaker 2: he was going to make a decision, but there was,
- 3:20Speaker 2: I sort of knew there was a possibility that he
- 3:21Speaker 2: might do that, but, um, it's just, yeah, it was bizarre. And, um,
- 3:27Speaker 2: But I'm really happy for him. He seems to be
- 3:29Speaker 2: in a really good place in his life. He's super
- 3:31Speaker 2: excited about the next chapter. He's at peace with it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And the reality is he's just such a selfless and
- 3:38Speaker 2: great person. And I feel so lucky and fortunate to
- 3:42Speaker 2: be able to play footy with him for so long.
- 3:43Speaker 2: So I'm going to cherish these last few weeks playing
- 3:46Speaker 2: with him because he is one of my greatest teammates.
- 3:49Speaker 3: How nice would it be to send him off with
- 3:50Speaker 3: something around his neck?
- 3:52Speaker 4: The ultimate prize. Yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 1: It's a little extra juice there for us now. Yes, true.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Just another. Now, Murphy Reid in the All-Australian, he was
- 4:00Speaker 3: one of a few players arrested or he was injured
- 4:04Speaker 3: last weekend. I'm not allowed to say that.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You can't say that.
- 4:06Speaker 3: A few players that didn't play. Manager. They'll all be back,
- 4:09Speaker 3: I imagine, next week?
- 4:10Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the plan. Yeah.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I think everyone should be fit and firing. So, yeah,
- 4:15Speaker 2: we're looking forward to having him back in the team.
- 4:17Speaker 3: It's a good position to be in, isn't it? Not
- 4:20Speaker 3: many teams get to say that at this end of
- 4:22Speaker 3: the year, that everyone's ready to go, except, of course,
- 4:24Speaker 3: Brendan Cox. He will probably be out for the qualifier.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Yes, he will be, I think. Yeah, he's got a
- 4:29Speaker 2: little calf strain. So, hopefully, we can get him back
- 4:31Speaker 2: as soon as possible. But I don't think he'll play
- 4:33Speaker 2: next week.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Look, if you want a purple cupcake or a purple
- 4:37Speaker 3: pie or a purple pikelet or head to Frio this week.
- 4:40Speaker 3: They're starting to turn it purple, aren't they? The town
- 4:43Speaker 3: of Frio is just going nuts.
- 4:47Speaker 2: It's great to see. Our fans deserve it. And we
- 4:50Speaker 2: absolutely love it when they come along and support us. And,
- 4:53Speaker 2: you know, they're enjoying the ride just as much as
- 4:55Speaker 2: we are.
- 4:56Speaker 4: They're finally having a purple patch.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I'm not going to say flag mantle, but I'm sure
- 5:02Speaker 3: they're saying it.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I've heard it once or twice. I guess so.
- 5:06Speaker 4: You guys have got the best chance.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Best chance.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Well, the qualifying final coming up. Do we know when
- 5:12Speaker 3: it is? Is it on?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Thursday night.
- 5:14Speaker 3: It's on Thursday night. That's right.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Thursday night. Next Thursday night. Good luck.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Good luck.
- 5:21Speaker 4: And then just soak it all up.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I will. Enjoy it.
- 5:24Speaker 4: I will. And don't take the foot off the pedal
- 5:26Speaker 4: too much in your little break. Although I'm sure Justin's
- 5:29Speaker 4: not going to let that happen.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Definitely not.
