  Speaker 4: were off in terms of how we wanted to play
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: and how we how we have been playing so looked
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: to be honest, a bit of both us and them,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: and yeah we couldn't get our hands on the footy, Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: which was really really hard.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Some crazy stats. I think they had one hundred and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: forty four more possessions yea, and I heard Bakes say
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they had one hundred and twenty uncontested marks.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which makes it which makes it so hard, Like
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: when we lose contests as well, and then we give
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: up that many unkn test marks. You're just playing catch
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: up all day and you're playing on defense and you're
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: spending all your energy chasing them, and then by the
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: time you get the ball.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Back, you're absolutely cooked and you've got no energy for offense.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: From cramping up. When do you do your review? Have
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you've done it around?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've done it, so we've had some pretty honest
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: conversations about what went wrong and what we need to
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: do to get better.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: When that happens, is it all serious faces or do
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you does someone try to break you know, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a tension by cracking gags or doing something.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, your head down, don't say.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Hope that any footage is not coming up of yourself.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: The good news is that the game comes around really
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: quickly because you always when you lose bad, you always
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: just want to get back out there, don't they because
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it's the only thing you can do and it's Friday night.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That's good? Yeah?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And up against a very very strong contested team.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: So when they're winning there, they're very hot. So look, Adelaide, it's.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Going to be tough.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a good game and you know
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: we need to rectify obviously a performance on the weekend
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: that we've just had.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I know you don't look ahead, but ahead you've got Crows, Bulldogs,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Lions and Dockers. It's pretty tough for.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I think I have all released what was it like
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: some something on Instagram and it showed.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: That the worst draw.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they draw the draw for the next like
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: basically at the end of season and I think we
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: were top three.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So it's like, and you know who was the best?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Geelong and Hawthorne and St Kilden never leave Melbourne for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the rest of the year as well. Anyway, don't start.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be serious for one second because I don't.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think you saw four corners last night, but
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I did, and as an ex footballer, I was worried, buddy.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, it revealed that thirty three footballers, including
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Adam Hunter from West Coast Egles, have been diagnosed with CTE. Right,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: so that degenerative brain disease. When you hear that sort
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of numbers. I was really shocked. What would your reaction
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to that be?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I think I think it'll be a lot more.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: So we're talking just before about how they might have
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: in a couple of years time, how they actually might
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: be able to have a test that finds out who
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: has it and who doesn't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I actually think there'll be a lot lot.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: More that when that comes out, which I think it'll
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: be sad because I think it will end a lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: of careers.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So has the mentality changed like when I played obviously
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: got back out there and you've got to shake carriage
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and you pretended you weren't hurt. But is it a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: player is comfortable speaking about this stuff now or saying, look,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you know I'm not right.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the stigma behind it is starting to change. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So it's still we've still got a long way to go,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I think. But yeah, now the fact that maybe this
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: testing could come in again, it could go back the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: other way because players concerned that, you know, that could
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: be their career done. Even more if they were to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: scan the brain and then they go, hey, you've got CTA,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: what do you want to do because we're not going
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to play anymore. So Yeah, it's I don't know how
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: how this landscape will unfold in the next couple of
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: years because it's just rapidly changing and expanding into different
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: avenues and areas.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it's it's concerning.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And you've got Harry Edwards going through it himself at
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the moment, haven't. He's sort of on they've sort of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: put him out of footy just to monitor him for
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a while or something like that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they put him out for a bit now, which, yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: he's still be able to play footy, which is great,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: but yeah, probably not till next year.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's what they're thinking.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he's got a program that he has to
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: follow on that they've they've guided him on.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's it's sad and concerning.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It feels like have they found the right balance, you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: reckon between protecting the head and keeping the physical nature
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of footy or there's there's still work to be done.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: There's always work to be done. Yeah, always, We're always
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: work to be done.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like I'm in a generation where
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: we grew up where we were getting hit in the head,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: so we learned how to protect ourselves and protect the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: head with our body. But then then your generation coming
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: through they weren't taught that. So then sometimes when you
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: go onto contests, some some players go in head first,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: some go.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: In with the hip, and then obviously that's when it happens.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: So there's Yeah, I think there's always room for improvement.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: There could be some real changes you reckon. Yeah, it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a big issue anyway. It's going to be a big
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: issue in footy. How you what about this, mate? Some
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: loon's been suggesting that during the finals, Eagles fans should
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: support the mob done. I thought about that. You grew
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: up being a Docker.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look crazy idea. No, not necessarily.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Like, look, I'm not a big Victorian man, so I
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: think I'll back a w A team over Victorian team,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: that's for sure.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I just remember when you probably remember in ninety two
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: actually even born in ninety two.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: No, no, I I was minus one when the Cup
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: came back to Perth on a plane and it landed
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: and there was all those fire hydrants being, fire hoses
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: being fired over the plane and washer was.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: We all the way back on the roads. There was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: people everywhere. Yeah, I mean that stuff's great for w A,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: even if it is Freeman or if you're an Eagles person.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it'll be bigger than Ben Hurt.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I mean like they're the first ones to do it
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: for their club, which would just be Yeah, it'd be
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: massive and then it'd be awesome for w A just
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: get through the w A footy as well.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Everyone benefits from it in the end.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you're just keeping your powder drive till after
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the derby, aren't you. No comment beauty yoee
