Speaker 1 (00:00):
West Talk Sport with the Adrian Barrage.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get work here, You've got to
get into work Blubber.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need it,
you can get.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It or check out work clobber dot com, dot at you.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Good morning, morning, Lace Morning, Cleerzy Trisley day outside and
there's rainbows, but there's none over Wildcat's headquarters. Oh way,
Bryce Cotton, the Cat's greatest player playing for Adelaide, our.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Bitter rivals six no the next three years. It's a
bad dream.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Surely that really sticks in your crawl.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Doesn't you want to wake up?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Say it ain't so, Bryce, So absolutely it is happening.
Say I don't know what happened. I reckon change is
as good as a holiday. But I don't know if
you went to Japan and I'm going back to Australia
and what about Perth, n I'm I going to Adelaide.
More money in Adelaide maybe prefers the Adelaide coach there
was a bit of a sign because against our lady

(01:01):
killed him this year at a couple of forties, right,
and the American coach there, Mike Wells, he compared Bryce
with Michael Jordan.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
He did remember. I remember I brought it in and
we played that.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Audio actually should dugged it out because so we should
have been tipped off. Then that he was sucking up
to him a big time, comparing him to Michael Jordan
and the back page of The West Today, the Lying King.
That was a referring to when he allegedly said Don
Telli he'd never play against the Wildcats because he is
the Cat's greatest player and they can chase, things can chang.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
He's going to sit on the bench during those games.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
On the pie all the others take an injury.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's not a bad idea. The thirty six is also
have a plan to facilitate his strong desire to get
Australian citizenship, so one day.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
If that ends happened, really troubling him all along, He
just I don't know what was going on, but there.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Was wouldn't let him, They wouldn't let him jump on
the boomers and all that. Yeah, but I'll tell you
what if Trevor Gleeson, the old coach, you know Trevor
and he used to coach him, if he bobs up
in Adelaide, No, mate, something's rotten in the state of
Denmark is as Willy would say, reckon.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, get the feeling there's some money and there's an
offer of so much bigger than the South Australian budget.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, it feels like that's probably what happened. But Mark Arena,
the owner of the Cats, if you're listening, there's only
one way to make things.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Better, you know what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
There's only one for.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
The name of the town to Patty.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Bright who anyhow, Eagles big week, travored Adelaide take on
the Crows. Tough, tough, tough game, a lot of self belief,
but tough game. I heard you say, least one of
the big stories at West Coast Jeremy McGovern's concrushing case.
Now it's a tough court, like at least you give
me your opinion. He's got three games for two hundred matches, right,

(03:01):
which is a big milestone. But it's not, you know,
something you would threaten your future with. Could they nurse
him through, play him off the bench?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, yeah, I'm sure you could surely notch up those games,
you know, and keep them safe. But ultimately, I think
sometimes these players have to be protected from themselves.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's what the AFL concussion panel is there for now
they will decide.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I reckon.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
His family probably thinks, you know what, it's been a
lot of head knocks. We've seen the after effects.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Do you really want to go on?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
And he will probably say yes. And that's what I
mean about sometimes you've got to be protected from yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I think you're right, and perhaps that's what happens because
he's got another year as well, and he's the sort
of bloke that you say, I just hang out, don't
go in hard, you know, just on the get on
the stuff, bang bang.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
And the idea of GOV being the sub sounds ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Rhyme for three games.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
It's different when Maybe got his two hundred because he
had that mattress on his knee.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
That's different.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
This is the head needed one game right, And this.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Is this is what I based What I said on
too is mainy because many I was to sit next
to Mayne when he was having like he'd have something
wrapped around his legs up in him and things. Sometimes
it would you know, pass through, and that me over
many and I said Mayney he said, he said, I
don't care. I would do it all again. So they

(04:22):
just don't think.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, yeah, I can't see himselves when they're seventy or sixty. Yeah,
I've seen a lot of forty, you know, like, yeah,
it comes early, can't come early? Now, I want to
play some audio now. It was magnificent audio from inside
the change rooms. The Eagles took us inside the change
rooms before the match on Sunday. Magnificent pre match address
given by Andrew McWalter, the coach.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Minnie.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
He touched on the indigenous players because it was Sir
Doug Nichols round. But then he went on to talk about,
you know, the loss of Adam Selwood and was so powerful.
I wanted to run through a wall just watching myself now.
But have listen, this is this minis just before the game.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's going to be an emotional day for a lot
of us.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
We will need each other today.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
We'll all drift at times, come back to someone, come
back to someone in this room because for two or
three hours today we need the whole focus to be
about team and our club.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's about more than a game.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
It's about a community. Our job today is to represent
the West Coast community the best way we possibly can.
Look after each other, make our people proud.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Let's have a great day.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
He's good, make our people proud and off the backdrop
of Adam Selwood that was that was spectacular, So well
done Mini. I might just quickly mention though, there's a
young subie boy, Will Hayes making his taboo for Collingwood
this weekend. Little fella never gave up in his dream,
was told sometimes he was too small, but there was
a village behind him. Subie Junior footy club Swane Tiger's

(05:49):
Clamont Christchurch College. Well done, Will Hayes and your family, right,
are your favorite topic? The dockerslasting Port Adelaide Saturday night,
Tomorrow night. Yeah, the reports, that's right, yeah, paper and
you know what, it's payback times, war time.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's pay back time. Might say that with a deeper voice.
It's payback time.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
The glory, the glory, the power.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
They really hurt Frio last year, last game of the
year May at least.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
They played him three times, got beaten three times, the Dockers.
But in round twenty four when Waal you Up needed
a win to hold on for finals, they got put
to the sword had on their own home ground.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
What was the day that sin Kilda had to beat Cartman.
They did just minutes before the bouncey to give us
a chance.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
We gave him a chance, opened the door. There was
three points in it, I think three quarter a time.
And then they booted three goals and YADAPULTI booted three
goals and sunk the Dockers.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
So this is it's payback.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, you know fun fact that Susie told me they've
never lost a game playing under the name WUP. Yes,
a draw, but they haven't lost one.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, when they changed their name to no. It's only
four weeks.

Speaker 2 (06:58):

Quickly Ange poster Conglo has had the last laugh, breaks

the most famous clubs. They beat Manchester United in the
final of the Europa League.
