effort for basically everyone really so crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, forty eight.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Especially on a Sunday too, Like that's a that's good
Sunday considered the graveyards sort of time time slot, and.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It has become that, hasn't it.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Yeah, but that's that's kind of where it's at. Unfortunately,
but yeah, to have forty eight thousand on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Huge, But people are coming out of the footy moll
this year.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It feels like there's fifty something thousand a a Docors
game a couple of weeks ago, forty eight on the
weekend there's a sporting Yeah it's good.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, well I'm not complaining.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
As best as we can and it's going to be
a full house on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Of course, derbies always are.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, So no wonder you saw, mate. You're getting the
ball a lot and it's been a big hunt for you. Yeah,
it has been three years since you've been in that
kind of nick.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Yeah, it's been good, and it's been great to be
able to sort of help and have an impact as
well in games. Sitting on a sideline, it's been tough.
It has been tough so to be able to implement
what we've been training on, but then to be able
to help the younger generation as well coming through, and
then you feed off that energy as well with the
younger kids. So he's got tremendous talent and tremendous sort
(02:10):
of enthusiasms as well around the football club. So he
just helps you bounce off the walls and I feed
off that. So a lot of the older boys and
all the younger boys are you know, they're bringing enthusiasm
within the four walls of the football club.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So it's good to be around.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, Harley was announced as this his Rising Star nomination
taught him everything he knows, didn't he That's what I hear.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Look, No, no, he's got he's got a fair bit
of talent and he's learned that.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I've taken him a bit under your wing, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Well, it's sort of a natural progression to do so,
I suppose because it is senior player.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
He's the newbie yep.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, and we've had some good battles pre season. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
So, and he's continuing to learn his craft and in
his role and he'll continue.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
To get better. But just natural talent. Yeah, that's hard
to teach.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
And he's thank god he's this week's rising start because
I thought he was a bit stiff last week too.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, he was last week.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But Jake Kennedy up forward, mate, I'll call him ja
six goals to that's a brilliant return, was that because
he's been through quite a bit of.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's had a tough run. Yeah, he's
had a very tough run the last twelve months, so
reward another another one.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Reward for effort as well, and he had a phenomenal
preseason as well. He was pretty much crowned top dog
for preseason. I think he won the time trial, did
everything right over the over the offee, So yeah, to
be able to see him get that reward for effort.
But a lot of the stuff though, even though he
hit the scoreboard and he kicked a couple of goals,
(03:41):
the stuff that he did off the ball as well,
Like he's pressure, he's running, ability to just keep up
and back up and back throughout the game. A lot
of people don't see that, but yeah, it's it's a
lot of the stuff, a lot of the selfless.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Stuff you don't see with Jakie.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
And yeah, it was he had a huge effort and
got that reward in the end.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
It was a special occasion. Did having the nineteen eighty
seventeen there helped fire you up?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Barrett took a fair bit of credit.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Actually, he took a little bit of credit yesterday having
the owls there.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
He said it was a sort of a.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Sort of metamorphois I did I did hear passing us yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, it was actually really cool. It was a good
it was a good feeling to have them in.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
But it were an incredible team, Yeah they were, Yeah
they were.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
But it was just an awesome experience and something different,
which I think a lot of the boys sort of
took on a bit and it made you feel more
accountable on top of what you already had to do.
But it was Yeah, the feeling was that, oh my god,
like these guys are up there and they're absolute legends
of the game and they've come in here, and I
(04:47):
reckon that would have been a good experience for them too,
because they would have felt like they were back in
and again I loved they were eighteen to twenty five
year olds and rub down Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly, and
they wanted to probably when throwing us out there and
help us out, which is just it's a good change,
Like it's great to have people in the football club
and it's good that the club does stuff like that,
(05:07):
and I hope they do it more in the future.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You play that level, you never stopped doing it, never
stopped being a competitive beast.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It you feel it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
To get out of there, and yeah, I've always been
like that though.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yeah, I've always just wanted to be able to compete.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But those places still have it.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Absolutely absolutely, so yeah, yeah it was great.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So a great result.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Everyone's you know, you're happy that you're enjoying your footy
and then you have to think dom she twenty five
disposals and the waffle flying Ryan to get twenty odd
Oscar Allen's not playing right now. There's a lot of upside,
there isn't it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, there is, there is.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
And it's also good because there's pressure on selection out yeah,
so we haven't had that for a while. And the
luxury yeah yeah, but that but that also helps bring
in i guess you know, internal competitiveness. Yeah, but that
also helps the team get better. So it's a good
spot to be in. Yeah, really good spot.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
To be a good game of Dominos to be playing.
All those things led to the Yeah. Injury wise, Luke
Edwards was subbed out due to concussion protocol, so that
means he's out for a game. Anyone else not at
this stage, hence the selection quandary.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, not that I know.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Okay, Well that's great.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Yep, yep, Yeah, things are all gone pretty well. So yeah, tough,
tough for Simo. Now it's actually sta and a few
of the boys played really well on the Waffle on
the weekend, so yeah, we'll theere we go.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But yeah it's yeah, good spot to be in.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, when you recruit a ruckman's flint, isn't it. Ruckman's
injured at the moment. So big responsibility for Bailey Williams
in the Derby this week because you'll probably at least
Jackson but maybe Shawn Darcy will come back as well.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
So a lot on your shoulders, Yeah, there is, yeah, yeah,
but it's not just that they've got a phenomenal midfield. Yeah,
bray Shaw's good player, Young is a good player, Wrong
so Wrong is an absolute freak and five two Brown
though meddless, so they are absolutely stacked. So yeah, yeah,
it's going to be pretty much when I lost it
basically in the middle and without even say anything and
(07:06):
without being cliche, that's just how it is with the
modern game.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Yabsolutely, will we see the return of Flying Ryan Lim Ryan,
he had a bit of expect derby.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, he did put in a good performance on the weekend,
so yeah, it's well, it's as we were speaking about
it's it's up to Simo now whether he wants to
decide that he's done enough for if he needs another
week or so to build that sort of base.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But yeah, he can.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
He can play the game football, so he's just a
natural talent as well. But having him in the side, yeah,
it could be a nightmare for defenders as well.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You know, speaking of.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
The Waffle, even the Waffle team had to win on
Sunday and breaking a twenty eight game drought. So can
you you know, the last couple of days, can you
really feel a bit of a shift at the club?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah you can.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, And it was against the reigning premier yeah yeah,
so yeah, yeah. Look and the week before they probably
got smashed by South as well, so they weren't to
be able to flick that switch and change it up.
I think it was like one hundred and seventy point
turn around.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Which is just huge.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
So it goes to show that a lot of it's
just in the mind as well. The talent's there, it's
just a matter of you know, obviously they're quite young
and they're still trying to learn their craft, but it's
the same thing, like it's reward for effort, a lot
of those Waffle boys as well have been putting in
a lot of effort over the years and to be
able to get a win as well on the board,
hopefully that can continue to build off that.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But having a healthy list definitely helps as well.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah yeah, I was having Gaffeye and she and those
like getting twenty odd disposals, so he.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Just helps lead.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
They helped lead the younger boys as well out there,
which you know they need their young kids trying to
learn their way and trying to get through and play
some good football, but also adhere to the team structure
and to have seen your heads that are able to
help you out on field just helps so much.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
How good is it to have two home games in
a row this league, this level? It must be great
and your own beds better than having two games away.
Yeah it's I get upset because back I love it.
But back in the old days when I was, yeah,
it was a.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Bit of it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
If you'd have you'd have you'd have a game at home.
Been having away Derby then you'd have a gat home,
so you have you'd.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Have three games. I could have three games in Perth,
but now for some reason they only.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Give you two. Now that works, but you should go
back to the old way. Yeah, that would be a
bit nicer.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Well it is Derby number fifty eight Saturday night at
Opta Stadium, bounced down?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Six ten May? The best stream wind.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
