Window and Door.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Right, Lise, We'll ripped the band aid off and mentioned
the doc has lost to the Cats first down of
the year by seventy eight points in JULYNG one, forty
seven to sixty nine. Hayden Young number twenty six. How
are you mate?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm very good. How are you yours?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Good? There were a couple of big margins on the
weekend and this was not the worst.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It was a strange There is that three monsters for
round one.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Let's just get this dash out of the way. But
halftime the Cat's were up by fifty four points. Free
Metal got it back down to nineteen points difference and
then the Cats went all catty and they kicked ten
goals in the final quarter. What I mean, your head must.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Have been spinning. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
It was a weird game, wasn't it. You got ugly
at times, but yeah, I think the consistent theme was.
We were bit off all day and I think we
had we had a bit of a Murphy Reid brilliance
in that third quarter that sort of got us back
in it. But to be honest, if it wasn't for
that four minute period, we we would have been struggling.
(01:17):
So yeah, it was pretty ugly and not the way
we wanted to start the year. And yeah, I think
there was some really key learnings that we took out
of it that. Yeah, it was evident that we didn't
play our way. And to be fair, Gelong we're a
pretty solid outfit and they brought a lot of pressure
and they're a pretty quality team and they can score
pretty quickly right.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
From the get go with their experience and the talent made.
Where were you watching and tell us, sir how it
went down?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, I was up in the coaches box, which was
an interesting spot to view the game.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But no, it was a good learning experience for me.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I was no new words probably, Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It was. It was good fun.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It was.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
It was obviously there's a lot going on during the
game and that was a lot of that to deal with,
but it was really interesting to see the coaches perspective.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
They're very solution based.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
It can be frustrating when the team's not playing well
or you know, things aren't going away, but they were
very focused on, you know, trying to make some changes
or you know, get things going for us. And I
was good to say. I got in trouble once when
I got a bit emotional.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Because you can't do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I'm so used to just watching watching the footy and
sort of you know, getting vocal and in the box.
They're very much focused on moving on from those things
that you're not happy about and just focusing on what's important.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And so that was a good little lesson for me.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
But yeah, I enjoyed sitting in there. Obviously wasn't the
best game to sit in the box, but it was
a bit to learn who the coach. Coach just said,
quiet down, quiet down. But yeah it's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Sometimes there were drop marks and things like that. But
from where you were watching, would you say there was
some panicked decision making, which is you know one thing
that you obviously I don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, definitely are very Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well, one thing we did notice was that their pressure
was really good and there was there was times where
you can't do much about that. There were the pressure
is really good, but there was times where we sort
of brought on their pressure and we didn't quite absorb
their pressure as well as we could have, and yeah,
I think that led into some panic decision making. It
led into some poor execution where we could have a
(03:22):
player who's out and we miss a handble and then
put him under more pressure. So those times where we
made their pressure better than what it was, and you
got to give him credit for bringing good pressure, but
there was an element of perceived pressure that we probably
brought on ourselves that didn't help. So it's something that we,
you know, haven't been known for. We've been a team
that's quite often deals with pressure really well. We're a
(03:43):
hard team to tackle, and on the weekend we were
tackled easily and we didn't really test the tackle as
well as we would have liked to. So there was
a good little reminder for us that, yeah, when teams
bring really good pressure that you know, the game demands
that you have to step up to that pressure and
if you if you shy away from it or you panic, yeah,
they're going to punish you, which is what happened.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So I know you hate being injured, and it's a
different will being out there to being in the coaches box,
but you get the perspective. You would have known that
Brendan Cox was being swung forward before anyone else, would
you're pretty.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Much yeah I did. Yeah, that was a little bit
going on.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We obviously had a bit of fatigue going on out there,
and Coxy was cramping a little bit early. So we
had Heath Chapman, who was our sal and they brought
him on and sort of he had the flexibility to
sort of go wherever we wanted, and yeah, we swung
him forward late just to sort of save his legs.
And we know he's such a really, such a great
target up forward, So yeah, it was good to see
in the box of all this discussion and there's a
(04:36):
lot of questioning about what's the best move here, how
can we change it up? And yeah, it's good that
we could make a few moves and Cox he looked
pretty dangerous up.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Forward, to be fair, a little bit fair. The side
was missing the likes of you five Walters and Bolton
and jud I here and then he's this morning that
Walters is at least a month away, still.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, a bit of bone.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Bruising, bone bruising good for Sonny, not good.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Frustrating, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah. What about the star recruit Bolton, We're going to
see him this week, you think hopefully?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, he should train tomorrow so yeah, there was just
a little a little bit of a sore leg last
week they didn't want to take the risk with. But yeah,
hopefully this week is good to go because yeah, I'm
sure we could use him.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
All right, Well you are at home now after stadium
on Sunday bounced Down is three to ten in the
game against Sydney Swansea runners up in the AFL Grand
Final and have still not recovered having lost their first
two games of the season. They're hurting. So will they
be primed to pick off like the slow one in
(05:42):
the herd, just get them?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, yeah, well, I think I think we're both both
teams will be looking to make a bit of a response.
We obviously have got a bit to come back from
from last week. Yeah, and they're going to be looking
to get their first win of the season. So it
should be a good contest and yeah, I think if
we can, yeah, learn from our mistakes last week, and
come in with the right attitude and look to take
(06:04):
the game on and be really physical and strong in
the contest. If hopefully it's a good battle, and yeah,
hopefully we can get on top.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, and Dean Cox coming home coaching, it'll be pretty
keen to get a win under his belt.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Well, yeah, I'm sure I'll know each other pretty well.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I'm sure it's hard as a new coach just want
to get that first win. So yeah, he'll be looking
forward to that. But hopefully we can disrupt that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Can I ask a sort of an uneducated question. You
know the Sydney Cricket Ground SCG is a very short ground.
I know you can a couple of kicks out and
you can get a goal. Well, how does Opta Stadium
compare to that? Is that are they? Is it a
very different ground or.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think it's a little bit bigger.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah, I think Optus is a little bit more like
the MCG, a bit wider. So yeah, it's a little
bit longer to home. But yeah, we've had some success
at the SCJ because we find on smaller grounds you
can sort of defend defend the ground better and that's
part of our DNA where we're a good defense and yeah,
so on to be around you just got to, yeah,
be more switched on with that sort of thing. So, yeah,
(07:04):
we going to have to make sure they're a really
good sort of kicking team that usually can slice their opposition,
slice through defenses. So we've had some issues with that
in the past. So I think this week Team d
is going to be important.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
A lot of stories flowed around, especially pre season and
the start of the year, and a lot of talk
about Luke Jackson in recent weeks and the big dogs
come out and ze on my PRIO player and I'm
staying hundreds this week.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah it's his hundreds, which is great. But yeah, no,
it's great to see Luke come out and make those
comments and just get everyone to shut up, which is nice.
But yeah, he's one hundred games, great achievement. We're very
fortunate to have him at our club. He's a super
important player for us and we can't wait to see
the footage is going to play for the next few years.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, Premiership winning experience in the club.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It is good to see everyone either I am signing
really long contracts or saying I'm here for the long haul.
There's no you know, there's those questions are not getting
in the way of things. Bounced down is three to ten?
Is there anything else you wanted to I'm sorry I
should have jumped in and I.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, no, we're good.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, we're good.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to going back to what this
has been.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You know, you're good.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, the Purple Army, Purple Army.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, okay, Well, bounced downs at three ten for the
game against Sydney and OP Just good luck, Thank you
very much.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Forward, to be fair, a little bit fair. The side
was missing the likes of you five Walters and Bolton
and jud I here and then he's this morning that
Walters is at least a month away, still.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
