The final score on Saturday night was eighty eight to
fifty nine. The West Coast Eagles lost to Collingwood by
(00:29):
twenty nine points. Good morning Elliott, Good morning the Eagles. However,
you know this was the top of the table and
the Eagles are not. But you know they went in
with not a lot of people really backing them much,
but they did not shy away from the challenge.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
No, they didn't know. I thought they played pretty well
from the majority of the game. Yeah, so the better team,
And I think Pendall said after the game as well,
he said that West Coast game could scare for majority
of the game. So that's a good little tip of
the cap to USK and the young team and the
players for being able to compete for longer periods. But
we're still finding that we're having lapses in games where
(01:10):
it's costing us you know, four or five goals here
and there, and it's hard to come back from.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Definitely a real crack. What about Clay hall Mate around
sixteen rising star on that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, it was good to see Feathers get a bit
of reward for effort as well. He's had a strong
couple of years now in the system and he's had
a few a few games in the Waffle and he's
kind of been trying to find his feet and he's
played pretty consistent in the Waffle and been able to
come in and then actually implement that and replicate it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, just goes to show that, you know, anything can
happen and hard work pays off.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
The feather and Feather's cap.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah. What was going on with Harry Edwards though being
chased around the ground by the medical tailor for a
solid it was like a Benny Hill's skin for ten minutes.
It was trying to assess him for concussion. You have
to be assessed.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, Yeah, I think the docs tried to stop the
game with the umpires and eventually it got through so
they did, which was good. I think like now this
new concussion rule and everything like that, there's yeah, you
have to do that, or goes to the arc, or
it goes to So yeah, there's a variety of different
ways that they can stop the game. But yeah, I
(02:16):
think everyone's obviously it's a it's a big issue now
that you know, stopping the game is a big thing,
and getting the docks to be able to because a
lot of players turn around and go no, I'm fine, yeah,
I'm all good.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, but don't to the doctors for don't get the credit.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Correct, So then you know that's the doctor to eliminate yeah, correct,
So then to eliminate that, then you know, obviously the
dock has to do their thing and get them off
the ground as quick as possible.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Because yeah, your mind is on the job. You want
to in the zone.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, correct. But then you lose like twenty
minutes of doing your concussion protocols and all that, and
it's like, well, can you do something with or something
that's what yeah, you know what I mean. So that'd
be cool that you could kind of use that in
a different way.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
To implement the sub perhaps, but.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
How that looks I'm not sure. But like, yeah, because
you lose a player for twenty twenty four minutes and
then if they're okay, then you've lost, you know, you
one down on the rotation.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You know what else was really bizarre at this game?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Apparently one of the umpires whistles wasn't.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Did they not have spared broken that?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Carry on?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You think you'd be the same as players having spare boots. Yeah,
so you got spare you got spare whistles or whatever
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, like that would last for one whistle before it
was replaced, but evidently it went on for.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Some time halftime probably, Yeah, change it over everything in
their pockets, right, yeah you think so? Yeah, I remember
they used to have their note pad in the back pocket. Yeah,
that's gonna came out.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, the old d Brereton.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, and that right on the paper written your face.
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't think you're going to write.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Much on that, but just right on your leg. Yeah,
giving miss that. I do miss that.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You know, coffee order that his tips for their first
at round Wick. Ah, exactly, yeah mate? Do you think
the last few weeks so this is moving forward to
talk about the Giants game, But the vibe of the
club right now it must be of great optimism.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It is, it is I think the last six weeks, Yeah,
they've shown some really good things in games and we've
been able to compete for longer, which is really positive.
And I think from a fan perspective as well, that's
all you want playing group, like I think, and from
me watching on the sidelines as well, you can genuinely
see the change that's happening and what we're trying to
(04:32):
go after and how we want to move the ball
and how we want to play. So it's all pretty
exciting as a player, as a fan, as a West
Coast supporter. So yeah, there's still things that we need
to work on, and you know, we've got a lot
to do and we've got a lot to bridget gap on,
but it's an exciting time to be at the football club.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think you can call legals supporters chardonnay fans anymore?
Are that the way they used to cop that weird
sort of monitor back in the day, because they've really
stuck buy Oh they have.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, every members are great and it's been it's been
some hard years, Yeah, some very hard years. And our fans,
like I say it every time, you know, when we're
talking about the fans and we do have the best
fans in Australia. I don't think you get like forty
thousand plus for five years of hard years as well
(05:22):
at bottom of the latter ish rock it up turning
up supporting the players, supporting the team. They're just fantastic
and I can't take them enough.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, a lot of fair with the friends in watching sports.
So it's good that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, yeah, Okay. It doesn't get any more prime time
this week up to the stadium Friday night, bounced down
at six twenty for the game against the Giants. They
are coming off a buy and they're just outside the
top eight, so it feels.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Not that long ago.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
We're talking about the Giants as well, and it goes
quick done that, the whole season goes quick. But they're
talented team, as I said last time, like they're very
talented and they've got players all over the field. So
you know, we've come up against a really strong team
in Collingwood. So hopefully that we can play, you know,
in the right way, in a similar way and be
able to compete for majority of the four quarters and
(06:12):
not have those lapses and continue to put ourselves in
positions to win games of football, But.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You've got a very young squad, So tell me a
wise one. Are you becoming Elliott Yoda at the club?
Like a good game you will play.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Look, yeah, there's not a lot I can do on
the field, so I just try to help as much
as I can off. So yeah, if there's if there's
some feedback I can give, or if I'm watching something,
watching vision, doing anything, if yeah, any way that I
can kind of help the younger group coming through and
in parts some wisdom. Sure.
