Speaker 2 (00:08):
On ninety six air ms on West Coast Eagle Eliot
Yo for Perth Window and Door Replacement Company. Give your
home and you lay some life with Perth Window and
Door Replacement Company, the number one name in the game
to book your free quote, Searge Perth Window and Door.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Morning Elliott, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now we've quarantined you because you have had a bit
of a dose of the lurg.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I hear, I haven't Yeah, that's the last thing.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
No, no, it's it hasn't been greatly.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Look at that. We go away and you get crooked
here to look after you.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yes, so no, it's good. I can I can mute
in between and coffee between.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Okay, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well the Eagles not He not a success against the Hawks,
lost by fifty points at Marvel Stadium on Sunday one
hundred and twenty four to seventy four.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Eagles co captain Oscar Allen.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
It was his first clash with Hawthorne since that highly
publicized and discussed meeting with Hawk's coach Sam Mitchell.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
He started down the back? Did he started down back?
Did that move backfire? He looked a bit lost.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I don't think get backfir. It just sort of he
hasn't sort of played back on in a long time,
so he started off. He started off there in his
first couple of games actually from memory. And then yeah,
I think, look, Mabia, Chell's a pretty good player in
good form, so anyone, any defender is going to have
their work cut out for him, let alone someone gone

(01:44):
back there for the first time in a long time.
So he did what he could. I thought he worked
into the game actually quite nicely towards the back end
of it, so hopefully we can started seeing him fine form.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Speaking of players being switched, may do you reckons the
really big deal that Sammy Mitchell put Tommy Barris down
the into the forward line being a defender and all that.
Quite a bit's been made of that, But he might
have been trying something for the future.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I think after the game, because I've got a fee
the time, so I was watching every everything. Yeah, so,
and I watched every interview and yeah, look, sam likes
to throw the magnets around it. Even when he was
coaching at that West Coast as well, he was doing

(02:30):
the same thing. So if he continues to do it,
then that's fine. It's an issue at all, so I
don't I don't really want to look into it too
much of that.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Bara took it personally. Bar was very bar said he
disrespected the eagle.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
He was lord of mortally wounded Barrel.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I thought that was a slide over reaction.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
But anyway, now Melbourne is next at Opter Stadium on
Saturday night. Bounce Down's five point thirty Melbourne or fifteenth
on the ladder. They haven't had a great out to
the season, so this is a very winnable game.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
It is it is. It's in form, so okay, that's
the past couple of games they've won, and Gorney looks
like it's in good form, so yeah, it's it's going
to be a tough gaper. I mean, Gorney's always every
time I've played Melbourne, he's always played really well against us,
So fantastic player. He's going to be the one to

(03:25):
stop for us. And it's going to be one I
lost in the middle as always.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah for Mattie Flinn, mate, it never gets easier, does it.
Lloyd got nearly hit out of something and then you
get back, so it gets a lot of disposals around
the ground as well, because he's like the giant ruck rover.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Oh yeah, it was always hard from the bottom. So yeah,
we're working on the things that we need to We're
trying to get better and hopefully we can continue to
make you know, massive improvements week week on week and
then we can get a win soon enough, I'm hopeful,
and we can make our friends proud again.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, to be fair, you know, this isn't making excuses,
It is just to be fair.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
The fixtures get slightly easier now.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It has been a very it was a very tough
start with you know who you were lined up to play.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, it feels like it's been like that for the
past couple of years with Fixtreme. Yeah, played a lot
of They've played a lot of the good teams throughout
the season quite early. So that's okay. Though hopefully we can,
as I said, improve and try and find the win
coming up in the next coming weeks that this one's
this week is gettable chance.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Tim Kelly's tome mate, is that right?

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Any word?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
The buggers toes, So yeah, look hopefully he can he
can get on the park. But yeah, toes that are
not fun, So you want to get careful with them.
I had one of them and I had one of
them in twenty eight een and they are painful.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
They're sort of connected to everything that you use.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I mean, it might look a bit funn next to
your name Toe Kelly, but it is serious stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now, speaking of that, what's the update on you.

Speaker 4 (05:12):

specialist and we're going to go from there. I tried
to run and couldn't progress any further than a couple
of k's when I was when I was doing so so. Yeah,
