- 0:22Speaker 3: Good morning, Hodos, if you enjoyed your little movie here bye?
- 0:27Speaker 1: I did there like a little school holiday in the
- 0:30Speaker 1: middle of the year.
- 0:34Speaker 3: It wasn't all rest. You visited a school to do
- 0:37Speaker 3: a clinic? Yeah? What is the one thing that kids
- 0:40Speaker 3: always ask you? Mmm?
- 0:43Speaker 4: Good question? They quite often are.
- 0:45Speaker 5: The first question that every kid asked in all the
- 0:48Speaker 5: classes we visited was like, what teams do we hate
- 0:51Speaker 5: playing against? And I think they set us up because
- 0:53Speaker 5: there's a lot of Eagle supporters that sometimes we visit.
- 0:57Speaker 5: They want to ask that question, so we don't. We
- 1:00Speaker 5: quite often don't answer it that way. We say, well,
- 1:02Speaker 5: we don't hate playing any team. We say we love
- 1:05Speaker 5: playing the Eagles because we have big crowds and the
- 1:07Speaker 5: good games to play in. But usually that's the first
- 1:09Speaker 5: question that kids start with is who's the hardest team
- 1:12Speaker 5: or who do we hate playing against.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember when you you would have been
- 1:16Speaker 2: a kid in the same situation, you know, the AFL
- 1:20Speaker 2: stars coming to town.
- 1:21Speaker 5: Yeah, it is funny, you definitely do remember. Yeah, those memories.
- 1:26Speaker 5: My region was sort of I had Saint Kilda that
- 1:28Speaker 5: would visit my school or football club, so I still remember.
- 1:32Speaker 1: No Premiership players visited.
- 1:35Speaker 5: Actually, oh no, I had Race Stanley though, I remember
- 1:39Speaker 5: Race Stanley was a player. That is the first boat
- 1:42Speaker 5: that comes to mind, which is funny because we're playing
- 1:44Speaker 5: Gail on this weekend. So so yeah, it is weird
- 1:46Speaker 5: when you sort of see players that come and visit
- 1:49Speaker 5: you when you're in school and then eventually you well,
- 1:52Speaker 5: I've been lucky enough to play against some of them,
- 1:54Speaker 5: so it's it is weird to have that full circle moment.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Indeed, you are playing Geelong tomorrow night at OPTAs Stadium.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I mean this is going to be huge, massive.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite a build up.
- 2:06Speaker 5: It is quite a build up on Thursday night Thursday night,
- 2:10Speaker 5: which was exciting. Yeah, and yeah, our last few home
- 2:13Speaker 5: games we've had over fifty thousand members or fans coming
- 2:16Speaker 5: and watching, which has been amazing and I can imagine
- 2:19Speaker 5: it'll be very similar this Thursday night. So it's obviously
- 2:22Speaker 5: a big game against a very quality opposition and.
- 2:24Speaker 2: They're the only other they're the only side that have
- 2:26Speaker 2: beaten you so far this year.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Yes, that's true, they have, so yeah we're looking to improve.
- 2:32Speaker 4: On that performance.
- 2:33Speaker 1: That would make it a habit.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Noah, no, not at all.
- 2:36Speaker 5: I feel like round one we had a bit to
- 2:37Speaker 5: say about that last as well. Obviously they were very good,
- 2:40Speaker 5: but yeah, we've learned a lot from that day and hopefully,
- 2:43Speaker 5: you know this this Thursday night we can learn from
- 2:45Speaker 5: those lessons.
- 2:46Speaker 3: We're talking about the Geelong's white out before, which doesn't
- 2:50Speaker 3: even compare with Warfee time. But I don't quite think
- 2:53Speaker 3: they just do for their big games at home where they.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Well they wave they wave the white towel, which we're
- 3:00Speaker 2: just saying looks like surrender white. So they can bring
- 3:05Speaker 2: their tails over if they want to wave.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Them before the game even start.
- 3:08Speaker 1: But I'll take Warfy time over towel time anytime.
- 3:10Speaker 3: And the stealth, the stealth jumper, the stealth, what's going
- 3:13Speaker 3: on with that?
- 3:14Speaker 5: It's back but we see it stealthy nature, Yeah, it's
- 3:20Speaker 5: very stealthy. No, it'll be there. I'm assuming but no,
- 3:24Speaker 5: it's a great jumper. It's one that we all love
- 3:26Speaker 5: playing in. It looks really cool. Our fans, I feel like,
- 3:29Speaker 5: really get behind it. And yeah, it would have been
- 3:32Speaker 5: pretty cool if there was a stealth verse white out, but.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have been Yeah, is it a darker Yeah, yeah.
- 3:39Speaker 4: It's black.
- 3:39Speaker 5: It's black, so it's very stealthy. It'll be very cool
- 3:43Speaker 5: and yeah we'll look good against Geelong regardless. So now
- 3:46Speaker 5: we love playing it. Our fans love it, the merch
- 3:49Speaker 5: the merch team love it because it sells I think
- 3:51Speaker 5: pretty well.
- 3:52Speaker 1: So it's a black or a deep purple.
- 3:55Speaker 4: It's black.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He's black.
- 3:57Speaker 4: It's black.
- 3:58Speaker 5: It's very black, and it's got sort of purple chevrons
- 4:02Speaker 5: that's sort of there, but they're not super obvious obviously,
- 4:06Speaker 5: So it's cool.
- 4:07Speaker 3: I'm wearing purple every day you come in for the
- 4:10Speaker 3: rest of the year. By the way, love that it's
- 4:13Speaker 3: a big night for Alex Pierce. One hundred and fiftieth game.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, and it's one that we certainly should
- 4:19Speaker 5: celebrate because he's obviously been in the in the system
- 4:22Speaker 5: for many years and has had a lot of challenges
- 4:25Speaker 5: with his body and injuries and a lot of setbacks,
- 4:28Speaker 5: so for him to get to one hundred and fifty games,
- 4:30Speaker 5: he's a massive achievement and one that he should be
- 4:32Speaker 5: super proud of.
- 4:33Speaker 4: And he joined the life members.
- 4:35Speaker 5: Club at our Foot Football Club, which is also another
- 4:38Speaker 5: great achievement. So he's obviously our skipper and we all
- 4:40Speaker 5: love playing with him and playing for him, and it'd
- 4:43Speaker 5: be nice for him to celebrate that achievement.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Any word on who gets the job on Jeremy Cameron,
- 4:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:51Speaker 5: Backs been doing a great job. I don't sit in
- 4:53Speaker 5: the backs meeting, so usually, I mean I never know
- 4:56Speaker 5: who they're playing on.
- 4:56Speaker 4: I just roll out and then him.
- 5:00Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm sure that they've got their heads around it.
- 5:03Speaker 5: And regardless of who plays on him, because he obviously
- 5:06Speaker 5: he can play in multiple positions, Jeremy Camerony sort of
- 5:09Speaker 5: gets up the ground really high, So sometimes I'm sure
- 5:13Speaker 5: there might be a plan to sort of have someone
- 5:15Speaker 5: that might play on him when he's deep and then
- 5:16Speaker 5: when he goes high, I send someone else up with him, so.
- 5:19Speaker 1: A variety of people to negate him.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it'll be I think it'll be a
- 5:23Speaker 5: bit of a team effort with him because He's obviously
- 5:24Speaker 5: a pretty damaging player and he can Yeah, he can
- 5:28Speaker 5: hurt you in many different ways.
- 5:29Speaker 4: So he's someone that you've got to be aware of.
- 5:32Speaker 1: We need a few on him.
- 5:34Speaker 3: I know they have to have tests, but what do
- 5:36Speaker 3: you think is the likelihood of Caleb Sarong, not to
- 5:39Speaker 3: mention Matt Johnson, Brendan Cox and Brandon Walker or coming
- 5:42Speaker 3: back in.
- 5:43Speaker 4: I think the likelihood is that, yeah, I think they'll
- 5:45Speaker 4: be available.
- 5:46Speaker 5: I'm not obviously sure if they'll be selected, but that's
- 5:49Speaker 5: up to the coaches. But yeah, this week, I mean
- 5:52Speaker 5: we had forty three players training and fit and available,
- 5:56Speaker 5: which is pretty insane for this time of the year.
- 5:59Speaker 4: So we have.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you have one player who's just about
- 6:04Speaker 5: to come back from a long term injury in Sam Sturt,
- 6:06Speaker 5: so that the list is really healthy, which is fantastic.
- 6:11Speaker 5: So pressure for spots is at an all time high.
- 6:13Speaker 3: It's going to be the match of the stadium so
- 6:16Speaker 3: far this year. I reckon. There's an immersive light show
- 6:19Speaker 3: at quarter time, a full stadium experience. Keep in mind,
- 6:23Speaker 3: you know when you're trying to get home from work
- 6:25Speaker 3: tomorrow night, it does start at six', ten so a.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Good, Luck thank you very, much and let's hope the
- 6:30Speaker 2: Whole geelong team are waving the white.
- 6:33Speaker 1: TAIL i know it's. Tomorrow it's, surrending very. Weird good luck,
- 6:37Speaker 1: tomorrow
