Speaker 3 (00:06):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hello, hey Lese, Hey Clezy. Great to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Might be a little bit of rain today, but it's
not raining in Melbourne. And there's footy tonight and it's
the Dockers, the Dockers versus the Saints, Marvel Stadium, five
forty bounds down. We're excited. Just got to win, Frio,
just got to win. I think they've already left, but
so probably not listening. But if you were listening, it's
any family listening, please pass on. Must win, must defeat
(00:39):
your own old coach. Otherwise the crowd, the great crowds
Crows win.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Sorry, was pointless.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't think they go into it with any other
you know, sort of thinking other than must win.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But it's just yes, just start the way you started
last week, Sea ball, get ball, don't hesitate.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Don't you think they don't think they have to beat
the Saints well and then beat home Collingwood next week.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, they just got a Thursday It's going to be monstrous.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
That's yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, yeah, they really need to do it on a
Thursday night. It could be sold out. But don't think,
do just do. That was a famous John Kennedy thing.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Figure three together, the three in the row. Then they'll
be taken seriously sin Kilda at thirteenth they.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Would beat in Collinwood. That would be such a boost
for the confidence.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yes, we'll get to that way.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That so Luke Jackson's back almost full strength, no excuses,
just win. Alex Pearce had an extraordinary interview he's their
captain of course. Extraordinary interview this week with Hamish McLaughlin.
I don't know if you saw it, but it was
two very eclectic, almost hippie type guys interviewing each other. Right,
(01:49):
Hamish is a bit like that as well. And of
course what do they call the Alex Peace mos Moose.
Moose was very laid back, but didn't he open up
and he was unbelievably honestly, brutally honest. He actually admitted
that while he was in rehab a couple of times
for broken legs, he actually hoped that the team would
lose I was cheering against them because I wanted to
(02:12):
be missed.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I wanted to be needed, which.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Is you know, you just don't hear that stuff, and
sometimes even if you think it, you wouldn't say it,
which is wow. It was like Apollo Creed when he
was coaching Rocky and Rocky three. Remember that he wanted
him to lose the club a lang to teach him
lesson beating him up.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Anyway, and then he least.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Then he went on to reveal just how incredibly anxious
he got, just so anxious before every match, such that
sometimes he hoped that he injured himself before the game.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
To check out this audio, All.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Right, if there's a button that I could press, which
means I didn't get to play this game right now,
would I press it? And most of the time, I'm like,
get me out of give me out of this situation.
It's too late. And yeah, I had this a couple
of times. I was like, if I tread on that
ball there, I might do my ankle and I might
not have to play. And that was when I was like, yeah,
this is probably not healthy.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It's not good.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That that is anxious. Isn't we all used to get anxious?
I used to think, what am I doing? And hee,
why am I put myself through this? I'm sure you
guys do at the peak of You're at the peak
of your career and your industry. No serious in your industry, right,
so every morning you're thinking, why am I doing this
to myself?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
When goes, I'm not worried about an injury though.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's he wanted to injure himself so I didn't have
to play.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's anxious.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So the Eagles are much talk to me.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I got a Hollywood voice. By the way, Can.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I just say what about his look?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I already knew it was a bit of a spunk,
but I didn't know I could just listen to him
talk all day.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
He looks like the great He looks like the greatest
man of all time. I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
He does walk into the room like giant Jesus, No doubt.
He did it at the Dogs a few weeks ago.
Everyone came back into the room. He's much loved.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Halo. Yeah, the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
There was a much talked about secret meeting which was
big in Melbourne. They called it an intervention. The players
have called an intervention, you know, controversy It happened seventeen
days ago, and the coach actually mentioned it after the
Bombers game. It was after the trip to Adelaide, famous
saying in footy, winners have parties, losers have meetings.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't know that it's like that in radio as well.
Probably is.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
No, we can't afford parties.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You wouldn't have a meeting, not very big yet not anymore.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
You didn't have a meeting or an email, but not both.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So apparently they all got together, all the senior players
and all the coaching staff and everyone else, and they
discussed a lot of stuff and cleared the air, and
then they played better against the Bombers. But some of
the stuff they were talking about, it was like, we
would do this sort of thing over a few beers
in my era, but this time they just sit around
and talk about stuff, and it was important stuff like
player parking passes at up the stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They got sort of down.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Okay, how many members family members are allowed in the
change rooms?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know? Can we boost that please?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You know, can we have more notice when there's a
member signing day so you can plan our day stuff?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Seriously, when you're.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Not at the top of your game.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
In the game, little things like that take on a
whole new sort of importance.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Importance, distractions your family, game.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Stuff that you normally wouldn't worry too much about, like
parking passes and stuff, all of a sudden take on this.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Massive, massive sort of if your partner's going, where's my parking?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm allowed in there. I was in there.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Get indignant about.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You find things that you do. No more winging. Just win,
you know what I mean, When you start winning, that's
when you can win.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
No winging rule. Win a game enough quickly.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
The other games bombers last night, I heard you say clear,
is that finnbarm male first gamer? He could have won
the game? I've never seen them play on when it's
right at the end of a game match?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Was he called a bit soon to play?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Absolutely? It was pretty quick time.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It wasn't thirty seconds, Poor bugger Jack Darling. He looked
with thousand years old Jack in the last quarter. I
reckon his back goes out more than.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Ja than Jack.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Is that an age that when he drives to the
foot he turns the music down so you can park better?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You know what I mean? Did you do that? Turn
the music down. I can't back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Direction to the music out.
Speaker 4 (06:34):

Speaker 3 (06:39):

the word. They're going to break their dark men.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Susie.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
She gave me some great stouts that proved that's going
to be happening. That's going to happen. No more Owen jokes.
In other words, knock knock.

for the Eagle, the Eagles. That's Saturday night.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Something about the Great d. K. Lily.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yes, one of the greatest sports persons ever to come
out of the state and in cricket, you know, just
absolute elite.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And they had been going to argue with you there
made the.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Great DK Lily, you know, the open shirt and the
heir hanging and the.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Flick of the sweat and he was mister seventies.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, the gold the gold chains. It's charging him.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
But he was seventies.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Alex Pears one of his less uh you know, great moments.
I suppose it was in nineteen seventy nine and here
at the Whacker when he rocked up with an aluminium bat,
so there was no rules against not that there was
nothing in the rules about the bat had made of
wood and he worked that out.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So him and his mate in birth.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Might a stir back.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Then, oh mate, he was the king and he comes
out and he's batting in the bat.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
And goes think and MB Mike really the English captain
goes the hell the hell was that? It's not cricket,
that's just not cricket and he starts complaining. Then Greg
chap but they send out Hoggie with some bats to
swap him over, and Doggie's embarrassing standing around and then
out comes.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Chapel with the bat and said, mate, give us that bat.
So he throws it twenty meters like.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
A Helicopter's funny. Did they have a picture of a
gun on it or something like that?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Later on it?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, in throwing it's an ashes series too. It's not
just some puporama match a friendly. It's like everyone's watching.
And so he admitted it was a publicity stunt, so
that was the news today and we go really.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
And apparent he's still got a garage full of bats.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Because he was going to sell him after that a fortune.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
He sold a few and then they banned it and
they go, oh, that's no good because it was supposed
to be for India, you know when they know yeep
bats and stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah, you know what, he puts them on eBay or
something or on market play.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Signed absolutely one of those.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's probably a multi anyway. And just as I got
the door, can we send our you know, our best
wishes to the glory. There's seasons they're going to win
the Wooden Spoons, so they're going to finish last how
horrible season and just to cap it off, they just
want to get the season over and done with. And
they're in New Zealand and then this massive storm hits
dangerous whether they can't fly and they can't play until
(09:37):
Sunday's supposed to be today. Now they have to sit
around waiting to collect the Wooden Spoon until Sunday.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I reckon.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
They're sitting around bitching about there your girlfriend's car parking?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, well you're right. Winners the grinners when you
win and you don't care about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
When you're losing, you're just so psychologically what.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
It takes on.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, it takes on its own little things become a
storm and absolutely rup. So I'll find my park at
under the Stadium and we're sweet prime location.
