Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
When it's you, it's like yocks to walk on ninety
six air fans on West Coast Eagle Elliot Yo for
Perth Window and Door Replacement Company.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Give your home and new lasson life with Perth Window
and Door Replacement Company, the number one name in the
game to book your free quote Surge Perth Window and
Door Elliott. I feel like we haven't seen it for ages.
You had the flu, you had surgery on your ankle,
but you're coming along a run.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
We get there, finally, we've got Thetory man. We got there.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yes, yeah, Oh, it feels like I haven't been in
for a while. Yeah, sad mischief.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Two points is just annoying. The lost to Richmond by
two points at the MCG on Sunday, eighty one to
seventy nine, and the game was it was just back
and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Fifteen times
the lead changed.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yes, yeah, just needed that extra we did.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, it felt like because of that, felt like the
game just went forever too. I was like looking at
the clock and I was like, oh, it's only one thirty,
but it felt like it was like four o'clock in
the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, she's been tense.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yes, so much of it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's exhausting.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so I can't imagine what it a pin like
out there, that's for sure as well. But sad that
we didn't get the win, we were so close. But
some positives to take out of it as well, which
is which is good.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I was telling Leasa yesterday on the air that I
saw a bunch of blokes at the table up it.
He clipped, there, you know, having a Mother's Day picnic,
avoiding just ignoring Mum because they're all watching someone's camera,
someone's phone. Yeah, watching the smallest screen in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It was amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
I went, I bet that's the last quarter of the
Eagles game.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Enough absolutely point in it at it boys are obsessed.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, yes, so no, it's there's some positive to take
out of it. But at the end of the day though, yeah,
we still we still can't get a win with the
four points, which is frustrating. So but hopefully we can
continue to build on it and when will come.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
So statistically there has been vast improvements, would you say,
in the clearance, Yes, clearances.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Particularly Yeah, that was one positive, so I know that's
probably what helped us as well get the ball forward
and score a bit more so when in clearances hasn't
been sort of the forte for us so much this year.
We've been struggling a little bit in that department. But
to see a slight sort of adjustment and change in
that department definitely helped a lot, and that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
But the sad sort of statisticals is that it's been
nine straight losses as a second close loss, So how
is morale at the club?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I think yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I mean, considering the fact that we've lost nine, but
there's the games that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
We have lost. We haven't played the way that we
wanted to.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And when you do lose like that, then you understand,
you know, so it's something easy fix, but you know
the fix and then you try and implement it the
next week and the week after. So we're learning, recognized, Yeah, yeah,
we're learning the loss yeah correct, Yeah, we're learning is
as much as we can and as quick as we
can with a new ball style and ball movement all that,
(03:08):
so game plan everything, but yeah, hopefully yeah exactly, yeah,
yeah exactly, yeah, yeah exactly. So there's there's positives that
we're getting out of it, and we're hopeful that we're
continuing to build in the right direction that will give
us the wins that we need.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
It's very different when you're in the midfield constantly and
you have a certain level of fitness and that for
that running it could be Friday the end. How about
Hoffey and Flying Ryan, Yes, spending time in the midfield.
I'd be feeling it and they're looking Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And it's different too, like when you when you play
off half back, the running stars when you're playing as
a midfield or the same as four when you lamb,
they're completely different. Like if you're playing the hockey role,
you probably a lot more high sprint and you probably
don't cover as many kilometers as you would in midfielder.
But then a midfielder, you know you don't have as
high sprint meters and if you do, you're insane, you're
(03:58):
a free you're nicked, it cost time and just go
all day. But then you know you're getting absolutely smashed
at the contest as well. So the running capacity is
are different. It's kind of like a bit more of
a like a gut run, grinded out type of run
at high sort of distance minute rather than high speed,
which off the half back, so it's a bit different.
And then you also get smashed at the contest, so
(04:20):
then you're got to get up, get moving, So it's
a complete Even though you think like, oh yeah, come
from half back, the running capacity is just completely different.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
When the lead changes fifteen times, there is always going
to be one poor bugger there at the end on
the wrong side of the last tackle of the game,
and in this case it was Tom Gross. Is it
true that he's been targeted since that by trolls online?
I mean, is this is this a big thing? Now?
(04:52):
Is this? Because that's a real problem.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I mean, he's just a kid. He's just a kid.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think people yeah, I mean, like people love their
foot ball and they're passionate about it. But sometimes I
think people just cross the line and take it too far,
no doubt, And that's the frustrating aspect.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
He's just a young kid. Like in social media, he's
out of control too.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
But it is out of control. How do you handle it?
Do you do you advise them not to look, just
ignore it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's hard for exactly yeah, exactly, yeah, It's it's not
long that you can do. I mean, when it crosses
the line of abuse into threats. That's probably where you go, Okay,
I need to speak to someone about this. So that's
where it is. But I saw a grossy yes thing,
it seemed okay a club. The positive thing though as well,
(05:38):
is that even though you know that that incident happened,
but he I actually thought coming on, he got himself
in the right positions so he which is not hard,
like it's actually hard to teach that, and around the stoppage,
he actually looked like he was trying to implement and
trying to force something and help us win the game
(05:59):
of football.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Just be focused on how well that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Was exactly that was? That was like, that was the
positive that I took out of his game. Obviously, like
he's a young kid and he'll get used to the
speeded player and coming on as a sub, you know,
it's firing for him as well. So there's all these
different things that he's trying to learn. Is but the
biggest thing that I took out of it, and the
biggest positive that I saw with Grosses game is that
he got himself in the right places at the right
times yea, which is like I thought, it was really impressive.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So ross the boss line, heading back to Perth this
week man Saints. He's swagging around boundary lines here in
the West and mostly at to be over but over
the years. But it's another another project this week for
Minnie McWalter and the boys to have another crack and
load up.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It is, yeah, and another winnable game too, like every
week's a winnable game. But yeah, I feel like Saints
a you know, they're a very good team. They're playing
some good football. But you know, I do think that
we're a chance as well, so that's a positive. I mean,
they've got some players playing some really good football at
the moment. McCrae Sinclair will keep going all right off
half back two, so yeah, there's there's there's Higgins is
(07:00):
probably in all Australian form too, so yeah, there's They're
a really good talented team winging him a lira I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Football at the moment.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So but I'm excited by the opportunity that you know
probably presents us this week.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, Allen will be available after his one week off
and and Jeremy McGovern is he likely to come back
after the concussion.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
He wants to play. Yeah, so it's just whether.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Or not the doc ticks him off, and he's happy
with you know, he takes all his protocols that he
has to do with his so fingers.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Crashed as well. They should be tough to those especially.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
They are there and they're frustrating because.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You get it. Yeah, you'll be thankful for years to come.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, but they're also like if you've got a good memory, like,
good on you. But if you don't like pre concussion, yeah,
you know, he'll rattle off ten things. He'll be like chair, table,
like all this stuff, and then you'll go into something
else and the lamp, crocodile, and you're like, can you
name them back?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Please? But if it's not a skill, I'm not even
I can't even remember.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Just see on the picture, can't remember what the flagway.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Isadful of those? Probably get better, do.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Jos something.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
All right, now's your recovery going. We see you're looking
you're looking good. Your foot. You're certainly not on crutches
or anything when you came in.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So no, yeah, I'll just got a couple a couple
sort of cuts, incisions and some stitches in at the moment.
So I gotta wait for that to heel over and
then we'll take him out and then I can start
to get moving again. Yod yeah walking around though. I
feel a lot better, which is good. It doesn't hate
as much, so that's a positive song.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Surgeon, incision bandage, Can you read those back to me?
Just no infection, football good, no.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Picture is down and up just against the Saints. It
is two forty.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
