Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good morning Elliott, I mate, good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Well. The West Has Eagles lost to the Brisbane Lines
by nineteen points at the Gabba on Sunday, ninety four
to seventy five. The Eagles kicked the first five goals
and lead for a fair bit of it, we did,
and then what happened.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I think the boys got pretty tired. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately the.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Third quarter really hurt, really hurt.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was sitting there watching and I just reckon. We
made a few mistakes that we probably could have got
away with you, but Brisbane just being a very good side,
they just capitalized it and that they hurt. So yeah,
frustrating in that third quarter, and then I think in
the fourth it was a bit of a bit of
an evening sort of game. After that, I would have
thought I might have kicked one or two more and

(01:11):
Unfortunately the damage was done.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
You've played up there. You know what it's like at
midday and that brizzy.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Weather, stinking hot oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but the humidity
cooks you from the inside. So and then if it's
scorching as well, like good luck, good luck. That's really tough.
Like I've been told, a few boys have lost kilos
of sweat.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Both sides were suffering and equal measures.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Oh it's shocking. Yeah, you could see after the quarter
time as well.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
We jumped them, which was great, but that would have
taken a fair bit out of Brisbane to get back
and a lot of effort. So credit to them. I mean,
that's probably why they're the premiership team. But yeah, that's
that's hard work.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well is it? I mean, is it done to be
scheduling games at this time, at this time of the year?
Is it? Should they be? You know, if they're going
to be in Brisbane in March? Should they be night?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Seems like a bit of a controversial topic. If I
was to say anything then I'd probably get scrutinized. So yeah,
well i'd be going against what the AFL suggests. But
from my recollection and memory, like I can't remember many games.
I would have thought this would be round one four
or five years ago, this would this would be now

(02:21):
considered round one. So yeah, yeah, it's it's interesting how
early things are starting now and the games are getting
hotter and hotter in the earlier part of the year
because it's still hot March, like, it's still stinking hot,
and even in April it's still quite warm. So yeah, yeah,
that's at the end of the season.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yes, that's all I'm going to say.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
At the end that the powers that we would see
that well, if I can.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You would think, so, yeah, just said that you can't
change it because of the TV and all the rest
of the crown.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
But yeah, well there's a bit of that involved. But
then also they have measures and metrics that they go
off as well, So if it is hot or stinking hot,
then they will delay.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
It because they heat.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
But the problem is that if they do that, then
it's going to be hard for us to get back
on a flight, right, So we've already pre book flights
and stuff like that. So there's all these different things involved.
So yeah, it can be a bit of a mess
around if that's the case. But unfortunately, yeah, like it was,
I think from what they were reporting and then what

(03:28):
was going on on ground level, it was drastically different
from terms of temperature and humidity and all that compared
to what it felt like at ground level.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, Brizzy have been worried at half. TI would fare
going have been that worried for goals down a half
time because I think ten to three or something a second.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Half, I think so, yeah, but I think I think
that would have been concerned. Yeah, they would have been thinking,
how how do we get this far behind? And then
also how are we going to get ourselves back? Especially
with this heat Like the boys look sapped like after
halfway through the second like everyone was out on their feet.
So yeah, it would have been they would have been thinking,
this is the amount to climb. But they also probably

(04:02):
backed themselves in is there a very good team? So
they would have thought, no, we'll end up getting on
top year. And that's what good teams sort of do.
They just grind out and you know, win the games
that they probably shouldn't have, just through grinding it out
and being tough and cleaner and more skillful, which is
basically what happened at the end. Made better decisions than
us and unfortunately we just weren't able to capitalize as well.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
We went forward in the second half.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Tim Kelly was right in the game, twenty nine touches,
six clearances. He had made that strange comment, weird thing
to say out loud that he wasn't enjoying football earlier year.
Do you think he's enjoying it again?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I think you get misinterpreted. So I knew what TK
was probably alluding to. I think you just said it
in the wrong way. Like, losing is not fun, and
we've been losing a lot of games it's pretty lately.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Like still coming into the football.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Club, being around the team, being like just in the
environment is the best job in the world.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
So like, I think people just sort of took that
the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
So still comes in with a massive sort of you know,
excitement and energy around the football club.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
It's just that I think, you.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Know, what he meant to say was losing sucks. It is,
and the past couple of years have been really, really tough.
So yeah, when you start winning games of football, things
changed pretty quick. So yeah, unfortunately it just hasn't been. Yeah,
unfortunately it just hasn't been. Probably the I guess the
path that he would have thought it would sort of

(05:30):
unfold coming from Geelong and making that decision, and that
I don't think we'd be in this position, but unfortunately
we are, and hopefully we can start winning games of
football again, because winning games of food is fun.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
What did you get your take on?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Absolutely one wouldn't get your take on seeing Dane Zorko
having a real crack at some of his teammates and
we see players do that. Brendan Goddard used to do
it in se Quilda. How do you feel about that?
Do you do that? Sometimes? You think there's a line
between really off your mates and getting something action.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Un I'm a bit more old school as well, so yeah,
and there's a few old school players out there that
are Likeorcos obviously one.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
And at the end of the day though, they probably
needed it.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
So I mean, there are four or five goals down
against West Coast so and they're tip to win. I
mean we're paying thirteen bucks or something like that going
onto the game with the underdogs by a mile and
we've jumped them, so I think, and we were looking
really really good in the first half, so for them
I would have been thinking and there was a lot
of things probably going on behind the ball that Zorka
wasn't liking and fair enough.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I mean we're four or five goals up.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, so and he would have been going, you know,
having a hard conversation because Zorko is a type of
player as well. If you don't if you don't know him,
I was lucky to play with him when I was busy.
That is the hard on the sleeve type of player.
So and he wants to win, so at the end
of the day, he would have been having some hard
troops with a lot of players, which is what you need.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
You do need those types of leaders.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I feel this Sunday is the derby town divided at Knife.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
It is first first win for one team for one team.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
That's the most exciting part. It's it feels too early
this season to have a derby. I mean round.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Feels feels too early in this season to be Round three.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's so weird. It's weird, so going to be an
interesting game. What are you started for it?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Absolutely yeah. It's it's a winnable game and all derbies are.
That's the thing we saw last year the first we
won the first one, Freo were tipped to win that
we were underdogs going in, So anything can happen with derbies,
and they're genuinely heavily contested games, and I would have thought,
you know, we'd like to try and get the first
win on the belt. Freyo would get a few people

(07:43):
off the back. So it's going to be a good contest.
I'm sure look forward to it.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's an Eagles home game, so that's what slight advantage
because you've got the crowd on your size.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Slight advantage. Slight advantage.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
So is that the only advantage or is there.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Probably no, no, because everyone sleeps in their own bed ground.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
But even then, like the other change rooms a crap
or anything, like the.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Brisbane the Brisbane change rooms, the room they're tiny, wow,
and then you've got to walk I reckon you end
up doing the equivalent of Jacob's ladder because they have
this weird in between.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
So like the lockow, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah? Yeah, So the locker room, you're going to go
up some stairs. Ye, it's an old ground and there's yeah,
then there's.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
An auditorium and then you're gonna go down some stairs
and then there's a locker room.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
So yeah, it's it's weird, Spinal, it's weird. Actually, can
we call the o f L and make sure maybe
just change the rules for this week there's no chance
of a draw. We just play extra time because we
don't want to draw two teams ever won.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah that's true. I agree, Yeah, no wants to draw.
Let's let's run it out.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I was going to say's Jake Waterman a chance to play.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think he'll test this week, so we'll see, We'll
see how he goes. Hopefully you can get up. I
think he would have helped a lot on the weekend,
might have been a bit of a different game, and
have had probably lit a little bit more or less
moving parts all the thought in the second half, I
think Bad's going down and then Arch as well in
the ruck and all that, so he started cramping. So

(09:13):
it might have made things a little bit easier if
Jake was in there in the forward line, so we
might have been able to pull a few more things
here and there. But yeah, hopefully we can get him
back this week.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Made I reckon In twenty twenty five, a spectator running
down to the boundary with a packet of tissues and
a player giving him the bird. I find that funny.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I think that's funny.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Probably so much you can say, but.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, it's fun everyone. Yeah, everyone talks about it. But
they all want they all want players to have personality
and to have a bit of fun and all this
stuff and the theater of the game and all that.
But then when someone does it, they just I feel
like the media is just slamming for it.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah yeah, he was smiling, but.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
He's yeah exactly, it's all a bit of fun. Yeah, yeah,
it's all a bit of fun. But at the end
of the day though, like he's a nineteen year old kid.
I just let it be a kid. So people forget that,
and I get you.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
I get it. Your playing NFL forty a year and.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Being paid to be more than a nineteen year old kid.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Well correct, yeah, but it's hard though, like, how do
you I saw a comment I think it was Jimmy
Bartail throughout the yesterday or something like that, and how
do you get an old head on young solders like
that just doesn't happen, so and I thought, you know what,
that's actually a really good comment. So yeah, they want
these kids to come in and be themselves and be
flamboyant with their personalities and all that, but then they

(10:30):
want an old head on them as well, so it's
like it's hard for them to find the balance in
doing so.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I understand they don't want in direction with a crowd
that gets dangerous or chesting a spectator or you know,
but yeah, a bit different, you know.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
It was literally yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So, yeah, it's it's an interesting sort of turn of
events that will unfold. I think this week I think
they've issueedd please explain, yes, yeah, so we'll see how
we go with that.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, bounced down for the derby is three ten. You
might have been beaten by Bridge, but it's the big
trip to Brisbane, the raining premiers, and it was a
huge turnaround from the week before. So I think you
go into this game feeling really confident.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well yeah, hopefully, Yeah, yeah, I think I think from
you know, the perspective and probably the review, I think
there's a lot of things that will be confident on
going in and hopefully we can implement that and continue
to grow from it. I think having the extra game
under the belt as well might help. It looks like
we sort of struggled in that last quarter to run out,
but I think you know, a fair bit, a fair
bit of that was the weather and Brisbane were kind

(11:32):
of the same, so you know we'll be fitner and
stronger from it.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
And Derby sixty.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Have a Derby carded day.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, thanks guys,
