Latest / Lisa & Russell / Barra's Bits - They Were Like The Invaders, They Just Kicked The Door In
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, Barra, good morning.
- 0:01Speaker 2: It's not over.
- 0:03Speaker 1: It is not over, but there has been a little
- 0:06Speaker 1: bit of a stumbling block.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Over all the Dockers fans, what just happened? What just happened?
- 0:11Speaker 1: It wasn't great.
- 0:12Speaker 3: They've woken up this morning, Dockers fans, with that unfamiliar feeling.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Hope's been replaced by heartburn, maybe a hangover.
- 0:20Speaker 2: And, but you're right. It's not over.
- 0:22Speaker 3: They are the men of premiers. 19 wins and unbeaten
- 0:26Speaker 3: at Optus until last night.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Until last night. Yes.
- 0:29Speaker 3: And then Hawthorne turned up. It was like they sort
- 0:31Speaker 3: of turned up. We'd built this fortress here and they
- 0:34Speaker 3: were like the invaders and they came in and they
- 0:36Speaker 3: kicked the door in.
- 0:38Speaker 2: They crashed the party. They helped themselves to everything. And
- 0:41Speaker 2: then they went home. They're going to the airport now, actually. It's,
- 0:45Speaker 2: I'm glad.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Get out.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I'm actually glad they didn't play Wolfie time. No, they
- 0:51Speaker 2: were never close enough.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Wolfie time, yeah, doesn't apply unless it's close.
- 0:55Speaker 2: It would have been embarrassing. It's got a limit to
- 0:57Speaker 2: its power.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Oh, 100%, surely.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Not 32 points.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It's not dramatic if you're playing it when you've got
- 1:02Speaker 1: no chance.
- 1:03Speaker 4: On a slippery night.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So, Barrett, people always talk about finals football is a
- 1:09Speaker 1: completely different animal too, and I've never quite understood it
- 1:12Speaker 1: because I think, well, it's the same game, it's the
- 1:13Speaker 1: same ball, it's the same ground, it's the same socks
- 1:16Speaker 1: and shoes.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You've got to go up another 10%. Yeah, so clearly...
- 1:20Speaker 2: Frio didn't.
- 1:21Speaker 1: One did and one didn't.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Yeah, Frio didn't. And the Hawks were battle-hardened. They'd had
- 1:25Speaker 3: to fight all the way through. And, you know, I
- 1:28Speaker 3: just think the Dockers thought, we've got four good players
- 1:31Speaker 3: coming back. You know, we're at home. We've never been
- 1:33Speaker 3: beaten here this year. They'd never been beaten at all
- 1:35Speaker 3: the entire season. But it was a bit wet, so
- 1:38Speaker 3: it played into the Victorians' hands. And so the big,
- 1:41Speaker 3: the three-headed monster couldn't get going, Vos, Tracy and Amos.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Tracey didn't kick it until the end.
- 1:49Speaker 2: He didn't have one kick until the end.
- 1:50Speaker 4: It just seemed like they just couldn't get their game happening.
- 1:54Speaker 2: No. They just couldn't get it in the first game.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Couldn't get two goals in a row, that sort of thing.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Nothing went right.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Have you got.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Some audio there, great man?
- 2:00Speaker 3: Because this is what Justin Longmuir, he was on the defensive,
- 2:04Speaker 3: of course, but he was also saying, you know, it's
- 2:06Speaker 3: not over yet. And next week they'll play the winner
- 2:09Speaker 3: of Carlton and Geelong and it'll be on Friday night.
- 2:12Speaker 2: And you think they could win that. So there'll be
- 2:13Speaker 2: still a lot.
- 2:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Well.
- 2:15Speaker 5: It touched on a few footy things, but yeah, well,
- 2:19Speaker 5: the reality is, is disappointing night, but we've, we've earned
- 2:22Speaker 5: the right for a double chance. Um, and there's a,
- 2:25Speaker 5: there's multiple ways you can get to where we want
- 2:27Speaker 5: to get to.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Um, yeah, we.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Get another chance at home tomorrow and then there's still
- 2:33Speaker 5: a path there. So everything we've been working on across the,
- 2:37Speaker 5: across the course of the year, we've got to lean
- 2:40Speaker 5: into that now. Uh, I understand the outside noise might
- 2:44Speaker 5: turn a little bit from positivity to negativity, and I
- 2:48Speaker 5: understand that aspect of it. But as a group, we've
- 2:50Speaker 5: got to lean into each other and try and find
- 2:54Speaker 5: our best footy before next week.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I hope not. I mean, there's a difference between being disappointed, understandably,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and turning on your team.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Yeah. Surely.
- 3:02Speaker 4: I mean, some of the, you know.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And turning negative.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Of course, don't read the comments on Facebook, whatever you do.
- 3:09Speaker 2: It's a toilet.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I mean, someone's put there, when Neil Finn of Split
- 3:13Speaker 4: Ends wrote History Never Repeats, he'd obviously never watched Frio
- 3:16Speaker 4: play in September.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Oh, jeez. Don't give up on it yet.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Apparently, there are a lot of grand final tickets on
- 3:21Speaker 4: Facebook Marketplace.
- 3:24Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's all online.
- 3:27Speaker 1: The online's a messy, ugly place.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Let me tell you this.
- 3:30Speaker 3: This has happened before many times, especially to non-Victorian teams.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It happened to us.
- 3:35Speaker 3: When I was there at the Eagles in 91, we
- 3:38Speaker 3: finished on top.
- 3:38Speaker 2: We played Hawthorne at Subie and they beat us. They
- 3:42Speaker 2: beat us.
- 3:42Speaker 3: We couldn't believe it. We kicked on and still made
- 3:44Speaker 3: the grand final. We did lose the grand final to
- 3:46Speaker 3: them later on, but Dermot and the boys did the job.
- 3:48Speaker 3: The 06 Eagles, they finished on top and they lost
- 3:52Speaker 3: their first final in Perth.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It's exactly the same final. And then came back. And
- 3:56Speaker 2: came back.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Yeah, so don't.
- 3:57Speaker 2: So there is hope.
- 3:58Speaker 3: The Crows last year is probably not a good example.
- 4:01Speaker 3: They finished on top and then they went out in
- 4:02Speaker 3: straight sets.
- 4:03Speaker 2: They did, yeah. So that's the thing you're trying to avoid.
- 4:06Speaker 2: But Jordan Clark was brilliant.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Andy Brayshaw, Warner, Chapman, Erasmus, even Walker, even though he
- 4:12Speaker 3: was in tears at the end being injured, I thought
- 4:14Speaker 3: he wasn't too bad. Oscar McDonald, Cicely, that Watson, the
- 4:18Speaker 3: wizard with all the wizard hats there and Did you
- 4:21Speaker 3: see him walking in with Cain Corns and had the
- 4:23Speaker 3: West Australian and said, look, you've been banned here?
- 4:26Speaker 4: He used it as motivation.
- 4:28Speaker 1: He's amazing. He's a fantastic player, but that's Sicily. He's
- 4:32Speaker 1: got the emotional maturity of a turnip, doesn't he? Mate,
- 4:35Speaker 1: you're 31 years old.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Tough on turnips.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Can we send that to Sicily, please? Brilliant. Can we not?
- 4:42Speaker 2: He's driving to the airport now going, who's that girl
- 4:45Speaker 2: that just searched me? But Nick Watson, you're amazing. He
- 4:47Speaker 2: might be driving here. You're amazing.
- 4:50Speaker 3: So the Hawks now have a week off and they'll
- 4:52Speaker 3: play either Sydney Adelaide or the Bulldogs in a prelim,
- 4:56Speaker 3: I guess. So they're laughing playing the MCG in a
- 4:59Speaker 3: preliminary final in two weeks. Some of the Dockers stars
- 5:02Speaker 3: will be so fired up. Murphy Reed, Shea Bolton in
- 5:05Speaker 3: the first half wasn't around much. As you said, Josh
- 5:08Speaker 3: Tracy just one kick late in the game. They were
- 5:12Speaker 3: almost too big. So they've got eight days to regroup.
- 5:16Speaker 3: and then they play either the winner. Imagine if Carlton
- 5:19Speaker 3: gets through to play.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Hayden played his, you know, heart out by the way.
- 5:22Speaker 1: He was, he was in amongst as much as he
- 5:24Speaker 1: could trying to, you know.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 3: He'll be more devastated than anybody, but, um, Yeah, so
- 5:30Speaker 3: imagine if Carlton actually beat Geelong tonight.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, next Friday night at my place.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I want to be in Lisa's house.
- 5:35Speaker 4: We want to set a camera up for that one.
- 5:38Speaker 2: It will be a very interesting scene. No sled to
- 5:40Speaker 2: the Sicily type sledges that night. No.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Lisa, I've just seen that James Sicily-Patrick Voss clash. Was
- 5:48Speaker 3: that at the end of the game?
- 5:49Speaker 1: I think it was on the siren, yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Now I know what you mean. He's yelling something terribly rude,
- 5:55Speaker 3: I think, at Vossie.
- 5:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 2: That was way over the top.
- 5:59Speaker 1: It is, rather.
- 6:00Speaker 3: I think somebody will come out of that. Anyway, that's
- 6:03Speaker 3: one to put in the memory bank. Other finals, Carlton Geelong,
- 6:05Speaker 3: as we mentioned. So the Dockers will be watching that
- 6:07Speaker 3: probably together because they'll be playing the winner. Almost certainly
- 6:11Speaker 3: Friday night, next Friday night at Oxford Stadium. Then we've
- 6:14Speaker 3: got Sydney versus Brisbane tomorrow, 1.15, Western Standard Time. So
- 6:20Speaker 3: you think Brizzy gets through there?
- 6:21Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
- 6:22Speaker 3: And they'll be hosting a preliminary final at the Gabba,
- 6:25Speaker 3: which is the way the Dockers will have to go
- 6:27Speaker 3: if they beat, say, Carlton or Geelong.
- 6:29Speaker 2: I think Sydney will win. You think Sydney will win?
- 6:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think it's like the way everyone's written
- 6:33Speaker 1: them off because of what's, it's weird.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I think they're going to win. What a fairy tale
- 6:38Speaker 2: that would be. Sort of, if you know what I mean.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I do know what you mean. Yeah, yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 2: I'm not saying anything else but that.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Adelaide, it's just the Bulldogs at the Adelaide Oval tomorrow
- 6:48Speaker 3: as well.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Elimination final.
- 6:50Speaker 3: The John Worsfold medal is on tonight for the West
- 6:52Speaker 3: Coast Eagles, so they're best and fairest.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:54Speaker 2: And the hottest of hottest, hot, hot, hot favourites is
- 6:58Speaker 2: Harley Reid. He's going to win it. It'll be him first.
- 7:01Speaker 5: Yep.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Daylight second. And then probably ….
- 7:05Speaker 1: Hell freezing over.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Tim Kelly or Waterman.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:09Speaker 3: They'll be probably the top three. Or Jimby might even
- 7:12Speaker 3: sneak in there, even though he missed 10 games.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Yeah, will he make the top 10, you think?
- 7:15Speaker 3: Maybe. Bailey Williams, Milan Murdoch. So a big night for
- 7:19Speaker 3: the Eagles. A US Open Aussie winner. Listen to this.
- 7:22Speaker 2: There's been a massive boil over at the US Open.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Dane Sweeney. Heard of him? Aussie Dane Sweeney. Dane Swan,
- 7:29Speaker 2: but not Dane Sweeney.
- 7:30Speaker 1: No, no, not Dane Sweeney.
- 7:31Speaker 3: He's knocked out the 13th seed, Lorenzo Musetti. He's ranked
- 7:35Speaker 3: 120 in the world, Dane Sweeney. And he's gone from-
- 7:38Speaker 3: I've not heard the other guy either. He's gone from
- 7:42Speaker 3: a wild card to a giant killer. So- He'll get
- 7:44Speaker 3: 400 grand now for just reaching the third round.
- 7:48Speaker 4: I'd take a swing for that.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Well, they call him the acrobatic Aussie because he loves diving,
- 7:54Speaker 3: doing diving volleys.
- 7:56Speaker 5: Okay.
- 7:56Speaker 3: So look out for him. Watch him tonight. It was
- 7:58Speaker 3: a huge win. He's only 170 centimetres tall. About, yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 3: about the height of.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Nick Watson. Yeah, exactly. He goes right too. Yeah.
- 8:08Speaker 5: Doesn't he?
- 8:08Speaker 3: Now, I've got to say, big day at Lathlane Park tomorrow.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Mineral Resources Park.
- 8:14Speaker 4: I'll be watching this game very closely to see how
- 8:17Speaker 4: you two react on Monday morning.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I can't take two in a row.
- 8:21Speaker 2: It's going to be.
- 8:21Speaker 4: Go on.
- 8:22Speaker 2: It's going to be raining.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Go on, Royals.
- 8:23Speaker 2: So, but... Get along.
- 8:25Speaker 3: I mean, I've, I'm, I'm the president of the club,
- 8:27Speaker 3: obviously perfect club. I mean, I've been a player, you know,
- 8:30Speaker 3: a club captain, uh, you know, best and fairest winner, whatever.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Now I'm the president and this is a historic moment
- 8:36Speaker 3: for the club. So if you've got any alliance allegiances
- 8:39Speaker 3: to the demons.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Even if you don't, even if you're just in East Perth,
- 8:42Speaker 2: you get along.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I mean, come on. Perth happened once since disco was king.
- 8:46Speaker 4: I mean, really, it's been that long.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Oh, 77 was disco king. Flared pants, flared pants.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Yeah, there was Saturday Night Fever, mate. You guys were
- 8:54Speaker 4: all dancing to it after the grand final win.
- 8:56Speaker 2: We have never had a final at Mineral Resources Park,
- 8:59Speaker 2: at Lathlane. Never. There's never been one. So it's history
- 9:02Speaker 2: in the making. Hopefully it's good history in the making.
- 9:06Speaker 2: For me, anyway. Otherwise, we won't be on the news
- 9:08Speaker 2: tomorrow night, I can tell you. No. I'll be taken.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We want a good, fair game. I'll be going missing.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Farrah will just look into the camera and go, next.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Here's the weather. Yeah, exactly. I'll be so flat. So
- 9:21Speaker 2: if we can get along.
- 9:21Speaker 3: And then, of course, interestingly, Peel Thunder now, what do
- 9:24Speaker 3: they do? The Dockers, do they play all their blokes tomorrow?
- 9:27Speaker 3: Because they've got a short break until next Friday.
- 9:29Speaker 1: No.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Get your hands off. Definitely not.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Do they let Sean Darcy have a whole game? It's
- 9:36Speaker 3: going to be very interesting to see what they do
- 9:37Speaker 3: because Darcy probably comes in next week.
- 9:40Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 9:41Speaker 3: He'll have to come in because Mason Cox was so
- 9:44Speaker 3: out of it and they just look so tall. I
- 9:47Speaker 3: reckon Sean Darcy will play and probably Jager O'Meara as
- 9:50Speaker 3: well with his experience.
- 9:51Speaker 5: All right.
- 9:52Speaker 2: So how do you handle him tomorrow when you're playing
- 9:54Speaker 2: Claremont down in Mandurah? I'm sorry. That came out wrong.
- 9:59Speaker 2: I do love Mandurah.
- 9:59Speaker 4: It's okay.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Brilliant spot. I'm going to retire there.
- 10:02Speaker 4: Just doesn't like the way you talk down there, that's all.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Reckons you talk a bit right there.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Good luck tomorrow. May the best team win. And see
- 10:09Speaker 2: you on Monday. You don't mean that. No, I don't.
