Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, under a lethal left foot, I strung grab.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
That from ninety six fans a freemantle Dock.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Window and Door Replacement Company give your home and new
lease on life with Perth Window and Door Replacement Company
the number one name in the game.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
To book your free quote search.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Perth Window and Door have the leading for much of
the game. The Doc has lost to Sydney just by
three points at Office Stadium in front of over forty
three thousand fans on Sunday. It was sixty eight to
sixty five. Young how are you mate, I'm good, good morning,
good morning, good good. It would have been nicer with
the four points, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It would have. Yeah, it's a tough one.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Sometimes those losses can can be harder than you know,
getting smashed and play.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
They would always be harder.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Because yeah, we actually felt like we played some pretty
good footing and we yeah, I felt like we controlled
the game. Yeah for much of the evening. It was
just yeah, we just fell short in the end there.
And yeah, it's quite tricky when you've you've got a
short lead and you feel like you need to score
again to put them to bed. And at times that
can get of course, some issues for you because you
(01:09):
might rush yourself for you feel the pressure that we
need to score again, but you forget that you are
still winning and you're in the lead, and there might
be three minutes to go, but you don't have to
rush and score to I suppose to put it to bed,
and I suppose that might have been a lesson on
the weekend. Was Yeah, we probably didn't deal with that
last few minutes very well, But when we look at
the whole game is in entirety we actually played some
(01:32):
really good footing and I suppose that's suppositive we're taking
out of it and we want to keep imposing our
brand for longer, and the longer we can do that,
the more we're going to be in games.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, but adding insult close injury was how close it
came at the end too, with Jamus marking inside fifty.
But what was it just after the siren?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I've spoken two more seconds of people that were sort
of in the stands, and I think in the stands
it's harder to hear. The sign is people didn't know
and they were thinking what's going on. I was in
the box and I heard the siren and I was
also watching sort of the clock on the TV and yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It was stressful, but yeah, I think it was obviously
a little just just after the signs. So like you say,
we could if that was a second earlier, giant marks
that potentially kicks a goal and we could be sitting
there going how good, what.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
A great response effort exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
So yeah, we gotta we gotta look at it for
what it is. It was a better, better response than
the wait.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
For so take it. When you were saying kick a
kick it you've been banished from the coaches box.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, yeah, I got got sent with the rest of
the playing group, which is good though, because yeah, it's yeah,
everyone else in the room sort of joins in. It's
everyone gets pretty emotional and gets yeah involved in the game.
So it's it's better, probably better viewing than the coaching box.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
With foot is a funny game, isn't it. It can be.
It's a real level over and all the rest of it.
So you've got a young player from Sydney to Marty
who really struggled to really make a stamp on the
Grand Final last year, had a pretty dirty day and
then he's got that one and that one out with
Brendan Cox right at the end of the game, and
poor Cox he got sort of pushed out of the
way and that kind of thing and kicked the goal,
which which put them in front. But for Brendan Cox,
(03:15):
that's a tough one because you're he looked tanked, I mean,
your stuff at the end of the game on a
hot day like that. How do you handle something like
that when that when yeah, because it comes down and
everyone's focusing on the one thing.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, yeah, I think, and I like after the game,
everyone's disappointed and Cox he certainly felt really disappointed, but
I think we're all pretty aware that it wasn't that
one moment the game and we really assured him of that.
And yeah, Marty, you know, he's a good player and
he had a good moment and he kicked the goal
and but certainly not Cox's fault and will support him
(03:45):
in that. And yeah, there was a lot that we
did right in the day. There was a few things
that we did wrong, and we've addressed that and I
think largely were pretty positive with our performance and we
want to keep I suppose reinforcing that the good things
because if we just negative and if we ride the
emotions of a loss, it's probably not going to help
us going forward. So we've got to take it for
(04:06):
what it is, and yeah, take the good things and
keep moving.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Do you know if Brandon Walker is okay? He seemed
to hurt his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, I think he's okay. I'm not sure. He went
and got scans and I think they're speaking to specialists
about the best way forward. So I don't know what
the plan is going forward, but I'm assuming he'll miss
some time.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, but yeah, we wish him all the best.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Josh Tracey has just become a big power forward, one
of the stars of the AFL now, hasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He He has. Yeah, he's just gone from strength to strength. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It's just really good seeing a big key forward taking
game by the scraffle the neck and really lead. And
I think that's what's growing in his game over the
last year and a half is he's really become a
leader for our forward line and our team. And I
think he brings a lot of energy and I suppose
when he's playing well, we all sort of stand a
bit taller. And yeah, he gets the crowd involved and Yeah,
(04:56):
he's playing some really good footing, which is great.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Well, it's day on Sunday, Derby number sixty, which is unbelievable.
Both teams of course desperate to be the one that,
you know, gets those points. It's going to make for
a great game.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It will, It will always does.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, there's always it doesn't matter where the teams are
at or what the I suppose owing to, It's always
going to be a great, great battle. And yeah, we're
really looking forward to it. I think someone told me
it's the most inexperienced Derby game for both sides.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, yeah, I think there's just.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You know, with the go out and fire Bolt is out,
so yeah, some fresh faces out there, which.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is fresh blood really inexperienced.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly, so a youthful.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Youthful Geff and Darling retiring, Yeah as.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, Crips is the only two hundred game player.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So yeah, it's Yeah, it's a new feel to it
and yeah, with youth comes a bit of excitement. So yeah,
looking forward to seeing our young mids and some of
our new players. Murphy Reid in his first Derby Who's
on the Weekend when he touched the ball of the
crowd sort of.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's pretty exciting if you're a fan.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Favorite, which is exciting, so hopefully he can you light
it up on the derby makes.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It more exciting to watch when it's an unknown quantity.
I don't know how it's going to go. Is nap
five like likely at all to.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Be not sure?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I don't experience, I'm not I don't think so. He's
played the last two weeks on managed minutes, so this
week's his first opportunity to play sort of a full game,
and I think I think the idea is that we
really just want to get some continuity in his body.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
He's obviously had a bit of.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
An interruptive preseason, and yeah, once we get him back in,
we wanted to be ready to go. So I think
he'll yeah, play Waffle potentially this week.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
It's pretty good last week.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, so I think he's really he's building and making
great progress. So I think just minutes minutes into his
body is really important and you don't want to rush
that back, and you want to have him right and
ready to go so we can, you know, play the
rest of the year. So yeah, I don't think he'll
play this week, but he's tracking really well.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Fifty nine games in so this is Derby sixty. It's
Eagles thirty three three twenty six. That's the ledger at
this point in time, and it's gone. Yeah when you
consider it was nine zip in the day. Yeah, because
that early Eagles team in the nineties didn't want to
lose one.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, that was a good side, good side early on.
So yeah, No, we've made some ground, which is nice.
Hopefully we can keep pushing.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah. Yeah, it was one of a piece last year,
wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, And what about you?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
How are you looking for I'm looking good. Yeah, I've
been traveling really well.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
The plan at the moment is to return to play
next week, so yeah, yeah, I would have loved to
make it back for the Derby, but these things you
just can't rush. And it's a long year, so to
make sure we pick all the boxes.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And get it right and you don't want to regret that.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And I also want to when I come back to player,
when I feel really confident and feel good. So I'm
looking forward to that. But there's still you know, it
was weaking a bit to go, so got some important
sessions to get through big training system tomorrow, So looking
forward to it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Hey, I just want to bring up one thing.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You've mentioned so many young players in both teams, but
talking about free inside the club, is there an instruction
because a lot of young guys you're looking at social
media and stuff, and straight after the last two games,
it's been a lot of vitriol online. Do you just
ignore that? Is there an instruction to ignore it and
not look at all? Or what's the world or you
keep it up to yourselves?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah, there certainly is an instruction too, but it is
so hard at this day and age, particularly with young players,
And I suppose I've become quite quite good at just
blocking it out. And I just feel like I'm so
used to overreactions now that you just don't read into anything.
So yeah, I'm quite good at But yeah, these young players,
this might be very new to them. So it's something
(08:39):
that you've got to support them through and if they've
got any issues or if they feel pressure or But yeah,
Jail was pretty good at, like, you know, acknowledging that
people are going to say things we can't control that
week control what we can control.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And I think that's what was good.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
About our review yesterday is that you know, people could
have been reading things, young players might have been reading
things going oh god, this is going to be a
tough review and like the pressure's on. I think Jay
always just took it for what it was and yeah,
it was really honest with your feedback and acknowledges the
positive things and just ignores that we're on the right
path and this is a good step in the right direction.
And I think we all walked out of the room thinking, oh, okay,
(09:16):
this is good.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Because four points. The other way the comments, none of
those comments would have been exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
So you can't you can't overreact to those things, because,
like you said, we could be walking away with four
points and everyone's happy. So we got to acknowledge that
a large part of our game is in good order.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, well, Bounce Down is three ten on Sunday at
Opta Stadium for Derby number sixty.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Good luck, thank you, wrapping you and cotton Wolf for
another week, mate. Yeah, get

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
