just a couple of weeks after his farewell show at
Villa Park in Birmingham. His hometown Elton, John, Rod Stewart
and the Stones runny Wood have been among the first
to pay tribute. Elton shared a picture of himself with
Ossie riding. He was a dear friend and a huge
trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock

(01:47):
God's a true legend. He was also one of the
funniest people.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I've ever met.

you up there. Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong shared

An Interesting Bunch.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
They were on the MTV reality show The Osbourne's Sharon.
We referred to love Sharon and Kelly, the dog Jack
and the dogs and the cats and the poop and
all over the house. This introduced Ozzie probably a whole
new light to a whole new audience. That show was
pretty much the first of It's kind of these family

(03:06):
fly and the War reality shows.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I really understand.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
But you go to somewhere I'll come from.

pretty colorful life, haven't he, rip Ozzy Osborne.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
More crazy, more podcasts soon.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Well lice, This story from the Netherlands has got us
having a just accain, well, not so much of a giggle,
but feeling for the illusions.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
I mean, yes, it's not funny funny.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's not funny interesting though. You'd be careful what you
wish for, especially when you've got your dream job. Illusionist
hands Clock, be careful what you call him, but he's
his hands Clock was injured during his signature saber act
at a.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Show in who doesn't have a signature saber?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Who you was a lightsaber? No? He had blades. This
was in the Netherlands in shep and you got to
get it again?

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Could you sound like Rose Nylon?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Didn't I? On the Sunday after that sounds funny than
the real location. Clock was sitting chained up in a
cardboard box. Part of the show as you do, audience
members stick sabers inside. One went straight through the cardboard
and his manager on broad pluck a game of it is,

(04:39):
isn't it?

Speaker 6 (04:39):
It is?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Stick the six in and see if the marbles fall down?
Because I always wonder, you know when you see these
people do the sword swallowing and you go, is there
a little bit of liver coming out of there as well?
When you lifted up? So his manager om Rock West,
who would have thought if your name was Imrop you
surnamed me West. He said that it went straight into
his arm because someone's saw the blade with a little

(05:01):
bit of blood on it.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Our man Clock, who's made of tough stuff, finished the
show because it's all about show biz. Yeah, I must
go on fake smile on before taking the hospital by ambulance,
and he said, there's a sword that went through my arm.
I can't move because he was just thinking, well, that's
not meant to happen. That's not part of the planning.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
What does the sword fold up when it enters the ches.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'll never give away a magician's tricks someone else on stage.
The blood on the sword.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Clock.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
We have a problem, or sheven, and we have a problem.
This poor bugger. He's okay. He's been doing the job
for forty six years, and sometimes things at work go
awrye and you can end up just a little bit injured.
So we just a rye all right, we talk about
we could have had a rye out with it. Yes,
we thought we'd talk about those times you've been injured
at work as it happened to you.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Well, not during my signature saber, actly.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe not, But have you been injured.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I did do a very nasty injury to a few
once in a one of those concertina doors.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
On the building that up on the top level of
that place we you know, used to Those doors were
vicious and they almost took the top of I think
it was my index finger almost took the top off,
absolutely mangled it.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
That's not good.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, I've got my nails done for about a year.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh oh well, that's tragic.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
That was tragic.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I've got a story for Vold volda war FM two.
I remember putting records away one day in the days
there were records. No, this is actually PMFM. I was
put a record. I remember those fighting cabinets called compactus
we used to have ye And I was putting records
and an idiot here went to crouch down, squat down
to put a record away on the bottom shelf, and
there was a chair behind me, and I hit my

(06:47):
cocksicks and it's out. And there's nothing you can do
for a damaged coxsics apart from sit on a doughnut
cushion for six weeks until it gets better.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
And you don't even want to really talk about it. No,
you don't like some injuries, Yeah that you want to
bang on.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
We don't want to boast about a broken.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Cottino borning hagun for us.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah, it wasn't me, But I used to work in
general transport and one day someone was chaining down a
bit of fifty or two inch plate, like mild steel plate,
and you have to get it really tight because you
load on top of it, so you can't retighten it. Obviously,
because it was hanging over the side you had. The

(07:29):
binder had to be a camover blinder had to be
in the middle, and he's pulled it down super tight
with a piece of pipe, and for whatever reason he
didn't pull it down enough or it slipped off. It
hit him right in the face and squashed his nose
like an overright fig.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah. Playing rugby league or something.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely awful. Yeah, and I mean it
wouldn't have been the cleanest piece of pipe in the
world either, But yeah, yeah, I hope no one's eating
their breakfast.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Actually, well, un.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Less you can't see it, one of the chances.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Thanks Michelle, that a shuld be. How did you injure
yourself at work?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Hi?

Speaker 9 (08:19):
It was a day that I don't normally work. It
was my birthday, and I usually have my birthdays off
if I can.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yes, but I was.

Speaker 9 (08:29):
My husband was picking me up from work to take
me out to dinner, and I decided to walk down
the stairwell and trip and smash my face all the
way down the flight of stairs.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Bigger face plan, Happy birthday, Yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:49):
The worst thing was that the stairwell is soundproof. I
had to prowl all the way back up the stairs
to find help, and I emerged out of the stairwell
longer hello, and people are screaming. I ended up breaking
my nose and my cheek my eye socket.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Guessing you didn't go out for your birthday?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, did they get your cake? You have to have
cake through the straw.

Speaker 9 (09:22):
I'll send you a photo later when I get to work.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Okay, yeah, I'll get BRICKI just before.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Broken eye socket.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's like something from a movie that you're stuck in
the stairwell, no one knows you're there and you're crawling up.

Speaker 10 (09:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Ou Yeah, we're doing this because we spoke about the
illusionist hands Clock from the Netherlands who is eating the clock.
But he got stabbed in the show when things went
a little.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Roll during his signature saber act. He had what is
he's lying in like a coffin?

Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's in a cardboard box. Pretty, he's in a.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Coupboard box of people poked sabers through it. Plunk.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
But you've got to be Dennis committing. You got to
be animated perfect with and it wasn't he stuck.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
In them weaving in there from Dodge and sabers.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
And all of a suddenly couldn't move because he was.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Last cal on how you intured this work?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
It's not funny, injured Paul in safety Vay.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Hello, Hello, Hello, good, What did you do well?

Speaker 8 (10:20):
I'm a truck driver and I deliver all your new
housing steel. Yes, and one day I did a delivery
of all your tea bars which go across Tarports, and
I got to take photos to show delivery. So as
I've stepped over the t bars, one of them, which
weighed about two hundred and seventy kilo, fell out of

(10:40):
the pack and landed on my ankle.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Poor, oh my god.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Chopped, chopped, chopped at like an act, straight down to
the tendons and everything I was in. I was in
Cavish and I had to drive myself to Midland Hospital.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You're joking, and so on the way.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
I thought I'd do another couple of deliveries before.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I got stop Superman.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
And as I was getting all stitched uff and I
was cleaning it out, I was moving my toe and
I could see all the tendons moving.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Of course, you could like a robot because the foot
botes connected to that.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, you're officially the man of steel delivering steel that's real.

Speaker 8 (11:23):
Oh yes, yes, yes, and I only had one day off.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, that's that's tough. That's tough. Well, so you're all
you're by yourself on the job, right, no one knows.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah, yep, yep, yep. So I had to do a
bit of a driver and yeah yeah and uh yeah.
Who was a bit of an eye opener?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Thank you, Paul.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Who had more comebacks in music? Was it Kiss or
John Farnum? Both the masters have comebacks. But there are
some comebacks we don't want to see, we don't want
to hear about. But we've noticed this, and you and
I've had a brief chat about this the last little
bit with the news when we heard about rabies in
Barley yesterday. The number of old school diseases and conditions

(12:06):
that have come back on our planet in recent times,
so the Barley story is very distressing. You know, there
are dogs and apparently monkeys. Some monkeys as well are
a risk, and there are plenty of them in that
part of the world, in Indonesia, but not just not
just rabies, but some of the ones you know, like
remember at school we have vaccination day and everyone the

(12:26):
line up and some of the kids a cry and
even that was even before the jab. And I always
think of vaccinations. People are going, do you remember what
jabs you had? And I said, it's only something a
mum remembers.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Card.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, but there are people with measles.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
But we didn't get vaccinated for everything.

Speaker 8 (12:42):
In our days.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
We got stuff. We got stuff, and that's why we're sturdy.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
And you're a bit more stoic. But mumps and measles
outbreaks in twenty twenty five, what's going on there?

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Mumps aren't good because.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Laurry everything and what jabs did you have? And went,
I have no idea. Mums passed away. She had all
that information and she had a little card and it's
gone as well. But I've also heard of and this
is sad because in some parts of the world where
people can't afford to get the right vitamins, including vitamin C,
there have been cases of scurvy again on the planet.
And we always think of the old days with the

(13:15):
sailors didn't get enough vitamin C. They took care of
it because they would eventually pack the ship with lions
and so they get some what I'm saying, it's scurvy
And where did that come from. And then you hear
some of the ones from the seventeen to eighteen hundreds,
like scarlet fever, Like really, so we do live on
a bit of a germy planet again, which is really

(13:35):
quite odd. But when you hear some of the old names,
it feels like something really really odd school.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
In other parlett fever sounds like I'm reading a woman
or something.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah I know, yeah, yeah. So the list was mumps, measles, scurvy,
scarlet fever, rabies in balley, polio, you know, a whole
lot of other things that old. They seemed like old
school kind of names, don't he did? He did want
to be straight In other than is Don Bradman has
been named to replace Hammond Green in Australia's T twenty side.
If we're just turning the Clockbacker speaking comebacks, and today

(14:05):
we're sending the ninety six of Membrodi's out to hand
out limes on the streets of Perth. So good luck
with that. It's more Clezio, more podcast.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Soon, let's talk sport with Adrian Barrage.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
When you've got to get work here, you've got to
get into work, blubber.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need
it you can get it or check out work clobber
dot com, dot at you.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
I am excited about our footy panel.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Funny that because we've got the panel of Barrows here
as well. Kid a boys and barrow mate.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
A good this is this is great to be here.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Young Elliott Yo and Adrian Barratch.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Good morning, so good and Youngie coming off a win
that's just unbelievable, beating the pies at the G. You know,
the Kings of the MCG. They love the close games.
Is that the best game you've played in?

Speaker 10 (14:52):
Uh, I'd be up there. Yeah, I've played in a
few close games and sort of have them in on
that end of it, sort of falling short a few times.
And yeah, it was really nice to win. And yeah,
and Colin with a great fourth quarter team and we're
able to sort of show some maturity and yeah, find
a way to win when they sort of came early
and kicked a few goals.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Now, do you think you should have come on a
little bit earlier? I was thinking, get young on, Get
young on.

Speaker 9 (15:16):
Now.

Speaker 10 (15:17):
They did a great job up until when I did
come on, But I would have loved to have come
on earlier because I was very nervous sitting on the
bench and you just want to get into the game
and get involved. So but yeah, I was happy when
I came on. I was have fresh legs and have
an impact.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
And then he came on, guys, and he had eleven possessions,
made this great smother on nick Daykos and then you've
hit up You've hit up Dogger for the win?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Were you kicking it to dogg Were you're kicking it
to Luke? Luke?

Speaker 10 (15:44):
Keep in mind, I'd like to say I was, but
I definitely wasn't. No. I was just trying to kick
it low and hard out in front of Gye and
I sort of pulled the kick a little bit and
it just worked out and Doggle was in the right
position and took the mark and looked great on broadcast,
But I don't think.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
I did coming from Bailey Banfields left.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
Yeah, that was probably the kick that opened the game up.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
So he was good one. He Yeah. Did you who
are you barracking for in that game?

Speaker 11 (16:13):
Neither just I. I was a big supporter of the game.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Answer the umpires, mate, don't talk about the umpires.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
We won't asked.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
We won't ask you young, but Josh Tracy pushing back
into the back line at the end, they're taking the
game saving mark and then getting Need in the back
as well, and then there was almost a brawl, and
you know, I was really impressed with Wagner's maturity went
in and he didn't try to fight. He tried to
keep the boys off more, didn't he's going young, eat
settle down, turn it over here.

Speaker 10 (16:47):
It was a bit like that was a great moment,
and we've seen it a few times now where he's
gone back late in the quarter and taking a game
saving mark, and yeah, it was not ideal getting Need
in the back, but yea, I suppose we had to
show some maturity and just knew that there was only
about thirty seconds left on the clock, so nothing silly
at that stage of the game. And yeah, we're able
to win from there. So it was a great, great moment.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
We were laughing, Cleary, weren't we. With Luke Ryan comes
to kissing.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
He's become the kissing players.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
He kissed.

Speaker 10 (17:14):
He does love it when either a mid or for
goes back and supports the defenders. So that's probably why
I got a kiss.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
And there's a guy called Lis the Prancing Pony.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yes, we've talked about the Pratzer.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, I don't think it's the greatest nickname. But gee,
six goals at the MCG first time he's played there.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's not the most madly i've heard.

Speaker 10 (17:35):
Yeah, he's a big bug. He played like a man,
that's for sure. And yeah, we had a role on
Darcy Moore on the day and it was sort of
a defensive role to sort of nullifying because it has
been in great form. And in the first quarter he
kicked what three or four goals, and yeah, it was
really diligent with his role as well. Darcy Moore didn't
have a huge impact on the game. And yeah, he

(17:55):
was just massive for us. And I thought he was
really mature, someone that in the past and get pretty
far up and when he's got a roll, he can
get quite physical. But I just thought he was really
smart about how it went about. It didn't give you
any free kicks. And yeah, obviously hit the scoreboard, which
is great.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now, can I ask a technical question, yes, just for
the moment, and Joey, you may want to contribute as well.
Cowboy tackling, it's a new thing. Have you seen that,
So Colin Wood tried that at the end, didn't they,
which was when they get hold of you, they sort
of sit on your back, but then they let you go.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
They don't take you to the ground.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
So that one in the air.

Speaker 10 (18:29):
Yeah, appealing.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
So it's like you're riding the ball.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's not broke Back Mountain. It's good of like.

Speaker 10 (18:36):
Could be.

Speaker 11 (18:39):
But that didn't come from young And.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Were you ready for that and you understood what they
were doing and played along.

Speaker 10 (18:47):
Yeah, I suppose. So it's something that we probably would
try to do as well. We know you want to
keep the ball alive when you're behind. So I thought
they handled it out well. I thought we actually handled
it well too. We sort of spoke about in those
situations as a receiver you want to get to your
teammate's eyes so you have something quick easy to give
it to. And I felt like we did that well
and we were able to sort of take twenty or

(19:07):
thirty seconds off the clock in the sort of last
minute of the game, which was good.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
So it's a tackle non tackle to stop to stop it.

Speaker 11 (19:13):
Yeah, I reckon.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I reckon.

Speaker 11 (19:14):
The AFL clamped down on it too. I reckon the
umpire as will.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah, because I reckon, you tackle them to the ground,
which is good, but then if you let go and
they don't get rid of it, I reckon, they'll start
pinging them.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, you're right, they wanted to keep moving down.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah. And what did you think young when it was Warner?
Wasn't it got done fifty meters for pointing to the scoreboard,
which we haven't seen paid for.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Ya, you would love that, wouldn't. It was so stupid.

Speaker 10 (19:37):
It wasn't enough. Yeah, it was a bit confusing. We
didn't really know. I was on the bench at the time,
so I didn't know what the fifty was for. It
was probably after the game when I saw all the
sort of the backlash of it. It was very interesting
and he was a bit confused as well. So yeah,
not ideal, but.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Yeah, because it was so dumb, I mean ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Well I can, because you on the bench is saving
mffy read from the head injury.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I try too.

Speaker 10 (20:00):
Yeah, he came flying, Yeah, I know, it was. It
was interesting. I thought that could have been a free kick.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, but they rolled out the monitor yesterday too, with
the crack in it.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, Yeah, it.

Speaker 10 (20:11):
Didn't quite make it through the game the monitor, but
Murphy Reid's are that's good?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Would that have been a free kick normally? Do you think?

Speaker 10 (20:17):
I don't know. I don't know. It was deliberate.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It was cameras on a right.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Just before we get into derby chat proper, Yeah, sphes
ELECTRICI can cut the air with a knife, all of
that stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Elliott.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's only five games to go, which is shit's gone quick.
But you do know now that you won't be playing
this year. No foot has not made it.

Speaker 11 (20:40):
Yeah the cank who has.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Something of a relief to finally you know, know where
you're at though, Yeah, it is.

Speaker 11 (20:50):
It is a relief, but it's also frustrating.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Of course. It feels like it's been a frustrating year
for you.

Speaker 6 (20:55):
Yeah, wasted year, which is really frustrating.

Speaker 11 (20:58):
Young team.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
You want to be out there to help and not
being able to do that or so just it infuriates
me being on the sidelines.

Speaker 11 (21:05):
I can't It's not.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Been a waste to you because you've had a great
year with your new baby and all that and life
is really good.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
But yes, it's been.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Football was at football course, Yes, yeah, yeah, it's it's
been tough, really tough not being able to help.

Speaker 11 (21:21):
I feel like I'm a practical player and a practical person.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
So being able to physically help and being out in
the field is my way of actually helping and leading
and being a part of the team. So yeah, I've
had to find different ways and avenues as well to
try and impact and have some sort of influence on
the group. But yeah, the best way I feel by
doing that is just being out there. So not being
able to do that has been super frustrating.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Absolutely. Was there a turning point for you mad a
few weeks ago maybe we thought well, this is not a.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Few weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah, I tried to increase my training load and my
running capacity and just couldn't do it. Just kept getting
sore in the ankle, joined and sindus most joint. So yeah,
more complications, which obviously means more opinions, more specialist talk,
all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
So yeah, it will be able to cure it if
you're able to hear it, there be no dramas for
next year.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
That's the plan.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Ye yeah, yeah, but it's like, what, you know, what
decision do we make in order to do that? Oh,
there might be that there's that avenue as well, and
there's also there's two or three different options that we
can do, so we're trying to do everything we can
before having to go under the knife again and fix
it back to Dubai or Nah, that's a bit different.
Dubai was a bit more soft tissue. This is more

(22:33):
of an impact injury, which is completely and utally different,
which is the frustrating aspect. So I think like over
the course of my career, I think he had one
impact injury and that was a hand in twenty fourteen,
so and I missed eight games, so.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Something unbelievably unlucky.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
What's your overwhelming emotion, Dereckon, how would you describe it?

Speaker 9 (22:51):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Frustration?

Speaker 11 (22:53):
Yeah, yeah, massive amount of frustration.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Wow, and your mate is missing you, Harley. Wasn't he
the week before? Have you?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
He's spoken to him since because he was very calm
on the weekend.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
I spoke to him after the game. Actually, I just
said I was proud of him and the way that
he went about it. I thought he played good, tough,
hard football and played it the right way, didn't really
get caught up in all the crap, and he just
basically let his talent to the talking so when he
can do that, he can be a very very good
player and impacted game in ways that many can't.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
How hard is it not to mention twenty million dollars?

Speaker 6 (23:28):
I mean it's pretty a big number in that that's
life changing amount of money. So yeah, look, if that's
what's been reported, then there's always there's where's the element
of truth to that as well? But look, he's a
fantastic player and hopefully the club can keep him. What
the numbers and figures look like, that's for Pikey and
Clarky and all those boys to figure out Harley and

(23:49):
his manager, But yeah, fingers crossed, we can keep him.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
The next question is if the Eagles can't make the finals,
is spoiling Freemantle season the next best option?

Speaker 6 (24:01):
I think it's like, yeah, it's we've been in this
position that like a couple of times, and you get
to this point of the season and you go, okay, well,
what do you want to get out of the rest
of the year, And a lot of it comes down to, yeah,
like sure, you want to play your brand of football
and you want to try and build into the next season,
but also if you can take off a scalp or
two and not like ruining other team's chances.

Speaker 11 (24:22):
But if you can, you can smiling.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Where do you reckon? Young? You reckon?

Speaker 1 (24:27):
It's like the Eagles grand Finally they'll really come at you.

Speaker 10 (24:31):
Potentially. It's always a big game derbies, and as we
were speaking about before, it doesn't matter where the teams
are in the ladder, it's always a fierce contest. Our
last two weeks have been sort of the highest pressure
games we've faced this year, and Hawthorne and Collingwood. Yeah,
and I feel like we're going to sort of feel
a similar sort of pressure on the weekend because it's
a derby and I feel we're well prepared for that
and we look forward to it. And I suppose heading

(24:52):
to the back end of the year you want to
be playing in I suppose heated games where it's really
contested and pressures high. So no, we're looking forward to it.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So you'll come in right, so the you won't be
the sub most probably.

Speaker 10 (25:03):
I hope not break Yeah, yeah, I hope not because
I didn't love it, but.

Speaker 11 (25:10):
Many people saying like, yeah, I love playing some.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Give the best.

Speaker 10 (25:15):
We'll see what happens, but yeah, good bit of training
and we'll say.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Because you know, for W a footy, it would be
a lot better if you guys had a big percentage
win and moved up the ladder. And I don't expect
the Eagles to care about that, but from a W
footy perspective, it's probably better if if you guys do
really well.

Speaker 10 (25:32):
Yeah, hopefully we can just keep winning, win all our
games and we don't have to worry about percentage because yeah,
we probably we probably might have laughed at a bit
late percentage. But we'll see what we can do.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, he's going, what's the city talking about? It's a derby?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
All those great memories and so what will you be doing,
big fellow?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
You be in the box or yeah, players box, I'll
be watching.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, and do you still talk to would you talk
to Harley before the game or you still because the
car checks? He said, the biggest factor in his frustrations
and you know, getting sucked in was that you weren't there.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
You weren't there?

Speaker 11 (26:05):
Yeah, especially last year.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
I feel like he gets targeted a fair bit and
I was there to kind of protect him and shield him,
to basically get him to play his best football. Young
kid obviously can get caught up in it at all.
So yeah, that that's the annoying part. I wish I
could be out there to help him, and I'm going
to do everything I can to make sure I can
do that next year.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
He knows where the box is? Does he knows? Look?

Speaker 6 (26:28):
But yeah, there is, But there's also like you kind
of want to He's going to get a lot of
information and when you're young as well, you're going to
get a lot of information from the coaches, your head coach,
you know, line coach, all that stuff.

Speaker 11 (26:38):
Your teammates.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, well you don't want to well you don't want
to flood them with too much information too, So you
just kind of want to give him encouragement really more
than anything.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
So do you help?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Do you hope that the free amount of crowd doesn't
give it to Harley?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Who wants answer to that one?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
That that because it's a Derby home game, it's a
Docor's home game.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I reckon they'll go for him. Should they hold back? Maybe?

Speaker 3 (27:00):
What are they going to do?

Speaker 11 (27:01):
Boo?

Speaker 6 (27:02):
Yeah, that's it is that it they bow everyone position.
It's just normal. It's white noise. It's white noise like
all opposition team supporter bases.

Speaker 11 (27:15):
They all boo all the good plays. That's fine, there's
nothing to it.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
It's just it would be something nice if they didn't.
Don't don't reckon Cleary. It's I mean, some people boot
Sander at Christmas do anything.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
But sometimes you get explainers who left for whatever reason
and they get boomed the go why are you booming?
I don't get it, but yeah, they plays, don't hear.
It doesn't matter who.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Gets Harley then Young I don't know, or who does
Hardy play on doesn't.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Man? Well?

Speaker 10 (27:41):
Yeah, last time Matt Johnson played on him and did
a great job. And he's sort of he's a big
frame midfielder. I bet he's obviously out this week with
I don't know, we'll say.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
As to be.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
But he had the eye that I get, Youngie when
he came on, mate, it was that was so good
when you came on, young world arm mate and Elliott

you've still got many years to go. But we're so
