Speaker 1 (00:03):
You got a lethal left foot strong Grab that from

and Door. There was eight goals to four at half
time and then the Doc's trounced compan in the second half.
The win by twenty seven points. Hit off the stadium
Sunday hating younger morning mate, Good morning, how are we good?
(00:34):
Very good?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
What was with that first half? The Blues came out firing.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
They did, and were everyone surprised? Well, we actually weren't,
but we still didn't quite deliver in that first quarter
because we knew going into the game they're actually the
best first quarter team in the competition, so they start
game as well, and we were ready for it, and
we just didn't quite execute, which sometimes can be quite
frustrating when you know that they're going to start well
(00:58):
and you just aren't quite able to deal with that.
But I mean it was a credit to us that
we showed great maturity to sort of handle that momentum
and fight our way back, and I think the frustrating
thing was we just weren't playing our way and we
knew that. But I was pretty pleased with the team's
efforts to be able to rectify that. I didn't throw yeah,
identify what we need to change, and we were able
to change it, which is good. I think early on
(01:20):
we just the pressure was really good and we sort
of just handbled a lot and felt their pressure. And
I think in the second half we just knew that
in the conditions and with their pressure, we need to
get the ball going forward, give our forwards a chance,
and we're able to defend better behind that.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So pleased pretty much. The essence of why Frio's fifth
on the ladder isn't it that you know, we'll just that,
you know, not letting things like that throw you because
it could.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
One hundred percent. And I think in the past, Jail
said this after the game, he goes, that's probably a
game in the past we've lost where we've got rattled
early and we haven't been able to find our way back.
And I suppose what we really need to get right
now is not letting that happen too often, because we
can't afford to give good teams chances, and yeah, the
pleasing thing this year is it feels like we've played
the second second half of games out really well and
(02:04):
we feel super confident going to fourth quarters that we
can run over teams, which we've done. But yeah, we
obviously don't want to be coming from behind every week.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Being at the ground watching the Konig and the ruck
and crips and acres have for play so well in
the first half. It was actually a credit to you
that we're running four goals down at half time because
against a heavy scoring team like a Gelong, it might
have been a all nine and that becomes very dangerous.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, well we got around our defenders during the week
because yeah, we were on the siege there a lot
early and yeah they were able to hold up and
although I mean they kicked pretty straight too, which didn't
help us. But yeah, our defenders have been massive this year.
There's been times in games where we've conceded a lot
of field position and a lot of that's been sort
(02:49):
of we've lost clearances early, which hasn't helped our backs,
and our backs have just held up so well all
year and in the second half we I think we
won clearances by eight A and so we turned that
tide in that sort of area, which gave our backs
to chop out. But I suppose when we need our
backs to stand up, they do, and it's going to
be important going forward.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
All right, Well, yours is the most discussed growing in
all the land.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Pretty much, big focus on the front page of the
back page of the papers.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You unfortunately strained your abductor in the first quarter. Now
in that moment, how much did you freak out considering
you know what's been the last few months.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I've never done a sort of groin inductor before, so
I didn't quite know what it was or if it
was just something minor. But yeah, I just wasn't able
to get going, which was a little bit frustrating, but
I knew it wasn't sort of too bad because I
suppose I can sort of jog off the field, but yeah,
we just didn't want to risk it any further. So
Radz was ready to go as a sab and he
(03:49):
came on and had a great impact. But yeah, scans
of show there's a little bit of damage there, but
not too much. So I've been able to get moving
in the last few days and sort of hopefully get
back pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So with a hamstring and the recovery and all that,
Could this be linked to that and something to do
with workloads and that, or.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's hard to sort of draw correlations. I think everything
big pictures, it's all linked. The reality is, when you
don't have a full pre season and you don't sort
of have continuity in your body, you're at a higher
risk of injury. And I'm well aware of that, and
that's something that I've got to manage going forward, is
that when I go back out on the field. Yeah,
obviously I don't have the amount of work that the
(04:28):
rest of the boys have in my body, and I've
got to prepare really well to sort of prevent these
things from happening. But at the end of the day,
I am a bit at a bit of a higher
risk of injury, and I'm aware of that, and I mean,
I can't there's no sort of little fix or something
I can do in the next two weeks to bullet
proofs my body. But I've got to prepare the best
I can and just I suppose have faith in the
(04:49):
medical staff and hope that my body holds up.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, and not take a risk when you feel.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Like absolutely well, it's the battle of the Ports this weekend.
The Docors play Port Adelaide in Adelaide on Saturday. Port
isn't going well, but they do have a great track
record at home against Frio. But does that actually mean
anything or at the end of the days, which is
just statistic just.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
To start, Yeah, just a start. And I think if
we learn anything from last week is we can't take
an opposition lightly because even though Carlton sort of probably
haven't had the season they wanted, they came out and
sort of gave us a bit of a scare and
Port can play some pretty exciting footing and particularly on
their home deck. So yeah, I think if we can
learn anything from last week is that we want to
start games really well and we want to play one
(05:30):
hundred and twenty minutes. And that's gonna be our focus
this week because going forward, coming up in some pretty
good opposition in the next few weeks, it's going to
be important.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So three hundred and eighty four games for Trevis bog
You would have played him, wouldn't They'll be there'll be
a bit emotional, weren't they. Yeah, No, we'd be retiring.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, no, it's and usually teams do get up for
sort of their retiree players, so it'll be I'm sure
the port fans will give them, I suppose a good
send off in the next few weeks and it'll be
a big game for him. And yeah, we've got a
lot of respect for him as a player, and yeah,
it'd be good to run and.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So Florida game's a lot of footing in it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It is, it's amazing, it's amazing. But I know he's
been an amazing player for a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What's the chance of nap five coming in for you?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, there's there is a chance with that. It's of
a good good trade there. But yeah, he trained really
well yesterday. I think it's going to see how he
pulls up today and I think he'll be available. So
he obviously played a waffle on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And well he swam claim on over.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, he brought his goggles like that.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It was crazy, but yeah, like nineteen eighties street he did.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
He did very well. So we're happy to see him
back running around. So hopefully he gets a nod.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And Gren was in the Presidents swite on the weekend
here she was.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, Grandma has been doing a trip around Australia in
the caravan and I think she was pretty pleased to
be the President's swede after being on the road.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, the best seats in footy.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh yeah, although I only played a quarter she was.
I think she was still pretty happy after the game.
She spoiled, so that made me happy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well, let's hope there is on Saturday night makes you happy.
Bounced down is six ten. Good luck than you.
