  Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and you just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: crack gags.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Added a lot of colour, humour. Time.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: He went to boss level. For Barra's bits. Have some
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of this. Bang. Gold's 96 FM. Oh, this is it. Morning, Barra.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Big, big day. And I don't know about you guys,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I'm holding the line. The Dockers will win.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced. 100%. They've been embarrassed. They've been ridiculed. They've
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: been written off.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Someone in the media even said they SHAT the bed
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: last week, so they'll be angry.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: That's charming. I know, it's a lovely footy term. They'll
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be that fired up. I'm not sure it's a footy term.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Their reputation's on the line. Their pride is wounded. They
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: will win. I think Luke Jackson will go full unicorn.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Shea Bolton, if you're listening, great man. You need to lift.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You need to lift. Harley Reid. Not Harley Reid. Murphy Reid.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: But Harley, if you're at a loose end.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Murphy Reid.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Just simplify things, mate. You don't need to be pendles. Youngie,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you need to lift a bit.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And you will. And you will.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: The big kahuna, go full, you know, Cyclone Tracy. Um,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I just think actually I've written a bit of words
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for the pony, the pony.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The pony goes straight to Tom Stewart and harass the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: hell out of him. Just get over there and don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: let him go near the ball. Full pony express attack.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I've done a bit of a pre-match address here. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: bashed one out. If I'm Justin Long, I'm getting the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: boys in. I'm going, boys, boys, come in tight. Come
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: in tight.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: We're about to go out. Come in tight. That's it. Thanks, Russ. Thanks, Russ,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: for moving in. No, I don't need the song yet.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Song's coming, though. There's a lot of that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of hand gestures going on here at
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the moment.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I saw you when I said, come in tight. You
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: leaned in. I thought, this guy's good. No, I was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: going for the button.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: He's on it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, you were playing the Murphy Reed. So, okay, boys,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: come in tight. Boys, somewhere out there in the stands
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: at Optus, there'll be an 80-year-old Dockers member sitting beside
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: his grandson. He's been coming to our game since 1995.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Dirty bloody years.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: He might have watched some absolute ordinary footy, but every
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: year he's bought his membership, he's been loyal, he's bought
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the scarves, he's got the beanie, he's sat through the losses,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and tonight he's thinking, maybe this is our year.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Boys, don't make him wait another year. He may not
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: have another year, boys. He may not have it. His
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: grandson may have to come on his own next year. Oh, no.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: His last chance is in your hands, boys. Come on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That's what I've been doing. And do it for joy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, and do it for joy.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, and joy.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Joy who makes the banners.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Was it 93 years?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And the Purple Army. Listen, Purple Army. Come
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in close. I'll talk a lot about this as well. Okay.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Too much probably. Purple Army, tomorrow night, don't be a spectator.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Be a weapon.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: There's 50,000 of you, 10,000 Geelong people. Make life miserable
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: for Geelong. Be the 24th man. You may not be confident.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You may think they may not be going to win,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: but just pretend for four quarters. Make Geelong wish they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: never wanted to come over here. They never wanted to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: leave Victoria.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Frio.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Don't need 50,000 supporters tonight. They need 50,000 soldiers.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: All right? You're the soldiers. And don't arrive individually and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: with your head down. Get in a group. When you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: get off the trains, all huddle up and march. March
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: into the stadium together.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Just get ready to unload, to chant, to cheer. Be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a Trojan horse. Exactly. To boo if you have to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: This is sudden death. This is cutthroat final stuff. Are
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you taking notes, Lisa?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At the Morris even.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Do it at the Morris if you want, Lisa. Okay.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Turn 50,000 individual supporters into one organism. One organism. That
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was a close call there. If they win, though. Yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's right. When they win. There might be a lot
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of that other thing going on. When they win.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And I've got a song. Let's adapt this. This is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: an example of what must happen tonight. You've heard the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: song Seven Nation Army. It's a global sports anthem. Frio fans,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: if you're in your cars, quick, reach over. If you're
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: not driving, turn up the radio.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Turn it up. Now, I think. Now? Now I do it?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Do it now. This is how you need to sound.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We'll change the lyrics. We're going to fight them off.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Get ready. Get ready. Oh, jeez. The Jalong Army couldn't
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: hold us back. Have a listen. Listen. You ready? We're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to fight them off. Purple Army hold the line.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You ready? Here we go.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Get fired up. Just be insane. I'm not singing. Here
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it comes. This is what you've got to sound like.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Can you hear them? Can you hear the voice?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. The Purple Army. All right. Okay. So excited.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That's the level you've got to go to. We're ready. Thanks, Farrah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: That was awesome.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That was intense.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: They've spent six months being good.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Tonight, they've got to be ruthless. All right.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: To get a Premiership medal, that's nice, but you can't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: do it by being the nicest team, okay?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you've just got to get a bit, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what we don't really like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: There is another game as well tomorrow.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, is there?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: There is, yeah, in case it's been overshadowed. I tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you what, if the Dockers lose tonight, there'll be a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Royal Commission. So let's hope they don't because– Headed by you. Well,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go and.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Leave, I think, if that happens. Everyone seems equally convinced
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that Brisbane will win this game too. Yes, and they
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: should do it because it's at the Gabba and Adelaide.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: They'll be angry.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And the Lions will bounce back.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I believe the 59-year-old Crows superfan– Colleen McKay, who dressed
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: up as the club mascot and painted her face black
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the photos went viral. Yeah. And she was
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: accused of doing blackface. She did crowface.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: She did crowface.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I know. So she's not going to the game, not
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: flying up there. She's actually part of the official cheer squad.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Did she lose her arms?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: She couldn't flap fast enough.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. But to be serious for a moment,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: she's deeply distressed.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And despite being a committee member of the Crows official
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: cheer squad, she's laying low.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: She's gone into hiding.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Leave her alone.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The poor love. She's being traumatized.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing how things can turn on you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: What about Dennis Lilly just down the road here? Have
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you guys popped down to have a look?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I have not walked that extra 100 metres to see
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: it from here, no. But I will.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I'll be sure to go that way home today. Oh,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you bloody bull artist. And see it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I'll go and have a look.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The statue of the fast bowling superstar was unveiled yesterday
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: at the WAC out the front in characteristic pose, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the big jump.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen, has he got the gold chain on?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet. We'll have a close look today.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I was hoping he was going to do the flick,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the sweat off the brow, you know, the way.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He used to do that. He used to do that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It's hard in a statue.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, how do you get
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the sweat in bronze?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Just flying off.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The other statues that were unveiled was Zoe Goss, a
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: trailblazer for women's cricket, who once dismissed Brian Lara in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: an exhibition game. And then there was Joseph... Noggle Gott,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: who was the state's first Noongar team captain. He led
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: an 1879 Aboriginal tour. So he's there as well. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there's three great statues.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It looks to me like the chain is. It must be.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: In full flight. Because it was.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Full 70s mode, wasn't it? Flying out there. I used
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to pretend to be that guy when I bowled. Just
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: jump up and throw it down and do the flick
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and the sweat off my brow.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But let's listen to this audio.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Did you threaten to kick the batsman? Like you did
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to Jarvin.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Bring out an aluminium bat as well.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: The late, great Tony Gregg here commentating, and this is
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: when Zoe Goss took the wicket of the best batsman
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: in the world at the time, Brian Lara. But have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a listen for Bill Laurie's comment. He just feels the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: pain that Lara's going to cop, and he's been copping.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, and there's a big appeal there. So I think
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: she's got him. Zoe's got him.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Zoe Goss has got Brian Lara.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And boy, that's brought a smile to her face.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you have to feel a bit sorry for Brian Lara.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well, Brian, you've made someone's day. I know that much.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I say go sometime.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I miss those blokes on TV doing the call.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I really do. Tony Greig. Phil and Tony.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And the 12th man was so good. I've got to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: mention this massive event going on now. It's live on
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: 7 as we speak. NFL in Melbourne, San Francisco 49ers.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Cheerleaders are out.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: LA Rams, they out, are they? Yep. So kickoff is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in 10 minutes. Do they have kickoffs here?
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Which is 10.35 in Melbourne. People are already drinking, thinking, oh,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it's 5.30 p.m. in LA, so we're sweet. So they're
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: into it. Great.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Just the culmination of incredible stories like Darren Bennett from
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Eagles going to be a kicker over in the NFL,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a friend of mine. When he said that to me
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in the change rooms at West Coast, he goes, I'm
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: going to America to be a kicker.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I go, yeah, no worries, Sonny Jim. See how that goes.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He ended up living over there forever.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: He did all right, yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And played in the Pro Bowl. But anyway, it's not
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: about me.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: The game is broadcast into homes via Netflix and Seven.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Have a listen to this.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It's expected to draw the largest US TV audience for
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: any event in Australia since the 2000 Olympics.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: What? So 20 million, they reckon, will watch. Oh, right. Yeah, gotcha.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Two human teams. Two million in Australia. There's 90,000 people there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And I bet about 80,000 of them are Googling the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: rules as well like us on here. You can see
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: why Rita Safioti and the team wanted to get it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: here because there's 49% of the tickets sold were to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: people outside Victoria. Hotel occupancy around 93% and an expected
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: economic boost to Victoria of $ 300 million.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: And they do need the money of them.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Moment.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right. Hey, I won't keep you much longer.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: The only two other things I wanted to mention was
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the Waffle preliminary final on Sunday.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Who's in that? Yeah, I know.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Claremont and East Perth.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Lisa's team. Yes. You've lost your Ruckman though. And my
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: dad's team. Your dad's team as well, playing Claremont. Claremont
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was his team. Should be a beautiful, is it right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: there was ugly scenes in our house. In the 80s.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: In the 70s. In the 70s.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: And then AFLW on Saturday at Lathlone Mineral Resources Park,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the Eagles must win.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They've got to beat the Lions.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, that's basically five straight losses, which means they only
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: play 12 games. So the season's kind of over. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Dockers women are playing at Cockburn. Essendon on Sunday.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Are you playing us out on the White Stripes? Oh,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I can do that for you. All right, come on.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Duccas. Come on, Duccas fans.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Hayden, are you listening? Get pumped up, son.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: That's what you've got to sound like.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: How much are the Dockers going to win by tonight, Barrett?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I reckon it'll be six points.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Six?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: We're going to fight them off.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: All right, okay. All right.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: The Geelong Army couldn't hold us back.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's do or die. Go Dockers!
