  Speaker 2: Good morning, Hayden. Good morning.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Are you excited, Lisa? I'm very excited. I reckon Lisa's excited.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Lisa's very excited.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Well, at least you've got the purple skimmy on this one.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I'm very excited. I'm making nachos with purple corn chips
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: for tomorrow night.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: There's purple beer at Optus Stadium as well.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: There's purple beer.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's all on.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The vibe is up at training, isn't it?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You can sense it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Have you had the chat about outside noise and all
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff? Have you sat down and what's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: been the process so far?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have. Yeah, we had a good sort of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: team meeting. When was that? On Saturday last week.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: And we just kind of like recapped the year and
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: went through sort of what's worked well for us and
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: how we got to this position and I suppose the process.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: And then we looked at what are the potential distractions
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: that can take us away from what's got us to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: this position. And yeah, we had a really good chat about,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: because for some players, it's their first final series. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: even for me, it's my first final series, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: finishing on top of the ladder where, The expectations are different.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: The pressure is different.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Um, but the reality is the games are still the
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: same and, uh, we still got to execute our game
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: plan and, and do what we've done all year, which
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: has got us this position. So, um, yeah, it was
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: a really, really good meeting and walked away from it feeling, um, Calm, confident, ready.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about wharfing time, hasn't there?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: In fact, the Hawks, I know we asked the questions
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of media, but I reckon every player has answered about
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: five questions about wharfing time. So they're kind of being
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: prepared for that, I suppose. Do you think it'll still
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: have as big an effect? Because I remember the effect
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it had on you because you nearly jumped out of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: your skin, went for that huge screamer, took a bloke out,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: knocked it out. Amos got it, kicked the winning goal.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So you really felt it, didn't you?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly had an effect on me. And I'd
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: imagine if it did happen this weekend, it would definitely
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: have a similar effect on everyone on the ground.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But who knows? Who knows what's going to happen? Hopefully
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it's not required, but we will see.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm sure the fans and everyone involved in
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the footy world wouldn't mind seeing it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It'll be pretty exciting.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's because it's been used sparingly that makes it, you know.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So effective.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's round nine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: The unknown.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: It's the unknown.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Will it come out? Yeah. Who's going to hit the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: red button? Purple button.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Hey, the purple button. Hey, speaking of Amos, he's one
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of the big names that are coming back. Heath Chapman, Murphy, Reid.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Switter.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Switter.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Back for, you know, one of the last times.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: That's all very good news.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Very good news, yeah. It is great.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Everyone's been training really well. We've had full numbers on
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: the track, really, and training's been at a high standard. So, yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it's great to have some of those experienced players come
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: back into the team to play a big game.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So we're happy to have them back.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Now, Switter wasn't there yesterday morning, was he, at training?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So what's the go with the Dockers and doing the maths?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Is it something to do with his babies on its
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: way and that he wasn't there? Because I know that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Geordie has got a bub coming. Coxie's had one. Wagner's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: just had one. There used to be a rule you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: weren't allowed to have babies until after September.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the boy's got the memo.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: There's some things the AFL cannot control.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think the baby's got the memo.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: But, no, I think he'll be fine to play, which
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: is good.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: No, it's just a different vibe, and that's part of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the reason he's retiring. And Murphy Reid looked magnificent. Do
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, is he wearing a box or something? He'd
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: have to be wearing some guard.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I think he is wearing some sort of protection. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: you're right, he was looking amazing. And he's moving really well,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: so I don't think he's been affected.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Too much by it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: That's the only thing you can't get at the merch store.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: A purple box. A purple box.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I was on the.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Merch website yesterday. I had to take my credit card
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: away because there's dog drinking bowls.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: There's just everything you can get.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Ordering up everything.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Amazon and all the delivery services said, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: we cannot handle this. We don't have enough trucks. Are
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: there any purple Buddhas? Because did you see Alex Pierce
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: during training?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I saw that. Just sitting in the middle of the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: ground doing the Zen sort of. The Zen master. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: love that guy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Contemplation mode.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: What do you guys think when you see that?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: He's an interesting guy, Moose, but the way he's leading
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: this year and the way he's going about it's certainly
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: having an effect on the playing group. And I think
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: one thing that has been noticeable is he's very calm
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: this year. He's leading with his heart, being very passionate,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: and I think whatever he's doing is working for him.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: The wizard is the player that they're a bit worried about.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And Gunston, of course, from the last game. And Nick Watson,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: who may, and don't give too much away, but who
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: might get him?
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Not sure, to be honest. Whatever the case is, I
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: think it'll be a bit of a team effort. He's
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: obviously a very damaging player. Gunston's probably the tricky one
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: because he holds so much length in the game. So,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, someone's going to be isolated on him and
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: we've got to make sure we can work together up
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: the field to support him and I mean, last time
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: we played them, we just allowed the Hawks to move
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the ball too quickly.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Through the middle, yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And we just helped Gunston, who was, you know, one-on-one, really. So, yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: those two players have been in great form this year,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and it's going to be a team effort to stop them.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They got off the plane, the Hawks, last night, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they looked pretty happy with themselves because it's their third
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: trip here this year, so no dramas there. And they've
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: seen Wharfie time, they've trained Wharfie time, and they're bringing
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: their best team for the year, basically.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that worked out.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Well, you'd want to hope so. It's a final, you
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: want to have your best team in there, so... No,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: we're certainly, we feel like we're fielding our best team too.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: So hopefully it's a great contest.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Good point.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a sellout.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You've never lost at home this year. A win means
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a home preliminary final and a week off.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And another week off. So 6-10 tomorrow night.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: There's nothing more to say. We're all just keeping a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: lid on it and good luck.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: And leave early for the stadium because it's going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: be busy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be a record. Record Dockers crowd.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Good luck, Hayden. Thank you. Go, grey man. We're just
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: on that subject.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Are Hawthorne ready for Wharfie time if it is required?
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Jimmy's had a word with the Hawks and we'll get
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: the word next in the 8 o'clock update.
