Speaker 1 (00:03):
A relief and left foot strong, grab that your ninety
six air m's own free metal Docker Hayden.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah for Perth Window and Door Replacement Company, give your
home and you leaves online with Perth Window and Door
Replacement Company, the number one name in the game to
book your free quote. Searche Perth Window and Door For
the stage in the APL season where the key is
just to get the four points, just get the win,
and the doctor has got it against Lorth Melbourne by
six points at off the Stadium on Saturday seventy three
(00:31):
to sixty seven, hating young our docor get it matew
are you.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Very good morning morning.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good to see you. Was in the wet it we
got pretty tight in me and then it did we.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Got a bit too tight. Yeah, yeah, yeah we looked
we were looking good at one stage and then yeah,
they sort of came came home strong light, which was
a little bit frustrating because it felt like we had
the game, you know, sorded, and then yeah, we probably
just dropped the ball with our team da and a
bit of our contest. Yeah, we had a pretty strong review,
(01:03):
to be honest, because although we got the four points
and it's nice to keep winning and keep the momentum up.
We do know that against really quality oppositions. North are
a good opposition, but against sort of the top four
teams that we want to be playing against in September,
we know that that type of foot he probably won't
cut it. So we had a solid review and looked
at some areas of our game that probably dropped away
(01:25):
in the last quarter and there's probably a bit of
a theme there, even against in the previous weeks against GWS,
I sort of had a few goals late, and yeah,
we just want to make sure that going forward we
play one hundred and twenty minutes of footy because yeah,
we know against really good opposition that if you give
them a sniffy they might take the win off you.
So yeah, very happy to get the four points, but
(01:46):
we can't rely on playing that sort of footy going forward.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
There were lots of good bits Tracey's match winning mark,
Caleb Sarong and Andy Brayshaw. But what about Sam Swerkaltski.
How severe is his hams injury?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't think it's too bad. Yeah, he was he
was running a training yesterday, which is a good science. Yeah, hopefully,
because yeah, he was a really important play for us.
I thought, I don't know how many touches he had,
but he went one hundred percent efficiency. So and he's
just a great connector between our mids and forwards. So
hopefully we don't miss him for too long. But it
was good to se him running yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You know a thing or two about hamstring injury.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I got around him.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
How did you company him injuries?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, get it right, mate, you'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
At list mentioned Josh Tracy, there is that? Can you
tell us from the inside? Is that a deliberate thing
for him to go down back? Is that? Is he
taking that on himself? Is that? What is that? Because
he's a strong mark.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, no, he's He's usually our man that goes back
when the game gets tight. We sort of have a
game plan when we want to finish off the game
and we're trying to hold onto a lead, and yeah,
usually usually the big HNA goes back, and as you said,
he's a great mark, so we can rely on him.
And yeah, he had a pretty good moment there at
the end of the game. And then keep it out.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Got nervous chatting the boys. What did I do that for?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's a very quick turnaround because the Dockers now play
Essendon tomorrow at Opta Stadium. Does the team prepare differently
when it's such a short turnaround.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, a little bit. It's obviously a short week, so
you get onto the review pretty quick, you wrap that
up and then you move on pretty quick to the
next game. So we did that yesterday. We had training
and review previewed Essendon, and training is also a lot
lighter because you've obviously you're trying to focus on recovery.
So the boys got out in the track yesterday and
(03:36):
did a few drills, but largely this week it's just
been about resting, art, recovering and just getting ready to
go this week.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, Mabe, was it weird? I just want to very
quickly touch on how weird it is to have a
an away game against North Melbourne at home. Because all
the colors and the schoolboard and everything's all blue and
white for North Melbourne. You didn't feel a bit strange.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It was a little bit strange. Yeah, it was. It
was a weird feeling, but it was also great that
we had so many fans that came out and almost
it did make it feel like a home game, and
which is a great advantage. But I thought wearing the
stealth kit was awesome. I thought that looked really cool
and I feel like our fans love that. But yeah,
(04:16):
it was a bit strange rolling into the ground and
not seeing the purple banners around the Yeah, and our
usual pregame entertainment. We didn't have the guitarists on the roof,
which wasn't quite the same. But no, I think it
was a great thing for our club. We were able
to get another game played it opt this in front
of a lot of our fans, which our fans I'm
sure appreciated.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Members will be back in the normal seats on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, Well, that's that's confusing, isn't it. Essendon's a bit
injury ravaged at the moment. Does this make you quietly
confident about.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Not necessarily, they can still be quite a dangerous team.
They've got some pretty pretty good players still running around
out there. And yeah, I suppose in the past when
we have probably underestimated in opposition, it's got the better
of us and we've probably underperformed.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So that's something that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
We're conscious of. We know that we got to play
one hundred and twenty minutes of our best footy against
everyone that we play. And the reality is, if we're
looking to play finals this year, it doesn't matter who
we play. We want to we want to play our way.
We want to play for one hundred and twenty minutes
and if it is a weaker opposition, then we want
to win thoroughly, like we want to smash him. And
(05:21):
we're not sure what Essendon they're going to bring this weekend,
but our focus is going to be on us playing
our best footy for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Will that include another Wagner goal? Because I love it
when he kicks go it just goes off.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
And everyone loves him as well. Yeah. Yeah, so sort
of that heart and soul player who does whatever the
team needs. And it's nice to see him get rewarded
and kick a goal.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And he's been in multiple clubs, so he's loving them.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, fifty fiftieth game on the weekend for the club,
which is just amazing. He's worked so hard to get
the opportunity and yeah, he's doing a great job for
the team and I think it just shows when he
did kicks goal, so many players got to him and
celebrated with him, and it's good to say.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Any concerns about state of origin being there tonight and
the ground, the state of it, state of ground.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah, I think they've done a great job this year.
Actually the grounds be any great conditions, so hopefully it
holds up. All good. But I'm looking forward to watching
to which would be good.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well bounced down tomorrow is it? Six'. Ten fans are
encouraged to get to the game early gates open at
four thirty and download a purchase your tickets on the
