  Speaker 1: Coast Eagles fans. All right. The Eagles season is over.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We're not in the finals. And so I'm about to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: say something that will make you feel a bit uncomfortable.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But I reckon we should, let's get behind the Dockers.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Come on, let's do it. Yeah, I've said it. I'm
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a former West Coast Eagles player. I've got Ben Cousins
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: on board. He's going to do it as well. Two
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: former Eagles saying, go Frio. I know you're thinking Barra's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: lost his mind. But actually, what has Frio done to us?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: That has been so terrible. Existed. Oh, that's what it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: is to, you know, die hard. I know, but there's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Demolition Derby. That was pretty ugly. And some of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: their fans are a little bit feral, you'd probably say,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I suppose you'd say. Excuse me? But, and they call
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: us the Chardonnay set, you know, so, but they haven't
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: won a flag in 30 years. And I was with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: their banner group the other day, their banner crew, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: they were building the banner for tomorrow night. Mm-hmm. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I've been doing it for 30 years. There was a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: lady there, Joy, beautiful lady.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of crepe paper.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I love banner ladies. They're so, yeah. I know. And
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: she started when she was 63. Oh, no way. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: now she's 93. Oh, Joy. So come on. Do it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for Joy. Do it for Joy. Oh, my God. Come on, please.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: If for no other reason, do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It for Joy. It's only a temporary arrangement too. You know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you don't have to change your Facebook profile to a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: purple anchor or some of that. You don't even have
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to buy a scarf. Just go, come on, Frio, a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: couple of times, then you can have a shower. No,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I think you choose a team and you stick with it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You have one team and that's it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Should we organise some protection for you when you leave
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the building at about 8.30 this morning?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Let me just... I'll finish my argument because I just
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: want you to think about this. All right. What is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: really the alternative? A Victorian team winning the premiership? Imagine
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: having to spend October watching the Cup going up and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: down Melbourne, you know, parading through Melbourne. It could be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: on the Cappuccino Strip. Might be in Brisbane.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Might be in Brisbane.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brisbane or Sydney. But imagine it was down on Fremantle.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Can't you watch the finals with just, you know, as a,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know. Without a team to cheer for? No, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: think we're all West Australians. I think it's time, a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: short-term alliance, a bit like Coke and Pepsi getting together
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: or McDonald's and Hungry Jack's, whatever.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Batman and Superman. Some people are happy to just sit
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: there and let football be the winner.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well. How's that for a pleasure? Well, how about this?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, Eagles fans, tomorrow night, just start gently. Start gently.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: When the free kick's a goal, just sort of, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: don't have to jump on your couch. Golf clap. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: or just nod, just go, yeah, that's pretty good. No,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think they'll throw up in their mouth.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I think there'll be just a lot of Eagles fans
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: watching Better Homes and Gardens.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Oh. Be quiet. No, they'll be barracking for Hawthorne. Be
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: quietly proud. You know, West Aussie team has done it. Actually,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we've got Peter Bell here. I asked him. Don't barrack
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for Hawthorne out of spite. No, but that's what they do.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Of course they do. Well, you see the stickers. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: follow West Coast and whoever's playing Fremantle. And vice versa.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, you do. Are there stickers like that? Yes, of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: course there are. That's a disgrace. Of course there are.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I asked Belly about this. He was very profound.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: About it too.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting one, Barra. I think there'll be an
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: element of West Coast fans who will get behind the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: other West Australian team, and that was probably the same
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: during West Coast halcyon days. And then there's, I suppose,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: some fans at West Coast who there's no way they'd
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: be supporting Fremantle no matter what. So I imagine there'd
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: be a fairly healthy percentage that will be getting behind Fremantle, but...
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Totally understand and respect if that's not your thing as
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a West Coast Eagles fan.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Come on, we're all West Aussies. I heard you little dig,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Halcyon days. I heard that face. Which Eagles fans would
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: say at least we had them. He did slip one in. Yeah, see,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we've got four flags. They haven't had one in 30 years.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Think of joy. Yeah, let's do it for joy.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I reckon that's the motivation right there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's for joy. And all that. purple crepe paper, 30
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: years of it. And if they go out in straight sets,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: then we can go back to not liking them. Do
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? No, I'm joking. Let's get
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: behind it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You do make a good point. Come on, Eagles fans.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure everyone will be on board, but I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: think you make a good point.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think they care if you are or not.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: People driving off the road.
