out of the west? For all those.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Pages, there was coaches getting sacked. There was blokes wh
wanting to leave, like Liam Ryan and Osk Growllan, But
it didn't matter because Harley was It was quite It
was quite remarkable the effect that it had on the club.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
It just lifted the joint.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Like if a bloke like that as voting to stay,
obviously something's going on, obviously believes in the place and
that things are turning.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
And his obviously some good coin as well. It was
going to get the same point. It lifted everybody except
those showing the door. Yeah yeah, even though they were
going to even.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Such was it was like a drug mate. It was
wafting over to joint. But there was there was a
lot of knockers. There's a lot of knockers and a
lot of negative new he's saying, you know, the so
called wise men from the East, as the song used
to say. We used to have that in our song,
the wise man from the Yeah, we're going to stick
it to him, and that was our song. They changed
it because it was a bit embarrassing because a lot

(01:35):
of the boys came from the east. But first up
the Eagles, the first up. They were saying, Oh, the
Eagles will never pick him. He'll leave, you know, he won't.
He doesn't want to come. And there was a guy
called Sam McClure.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Actually, do we have what we do? Sam? This guy
making a goose of himself. Come on, make your big call. Sam.
They're not going to pick him. They're not going to
pick him. He doesn't want to go there. So everything
I said before about.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Doubly down on this for all the shit that happened
twelve weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
People in the west are listening.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
He doesn't want to go there.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
So everything I said before about North Melbourne, have you
give up? They don't have give up much for pick
one you don't reckon.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
That's the fact that you pick one, they're going to
get hm it too, mihich.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm telling you they're not going to pick him.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah. I hope he has a really good career. I
think West Coast should have traded the pick. I cannot
believe that they didn't. And so for all the West
Coast you know supporters, that's fine. I get why you
want to be shitty with me, fully understand.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Got on you a good call, good course.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And then he said he won't resign as well. So
he not only did he come, he resigned, he's managed.
He doesn't know if their manager, his manager Paul Connors
and also Nick Geisham who was over here his dad
coach West.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But they believe.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
In loyalty and giving something back, and that's that is
kind of part of the reason. I know there's about
the money as well, but you know they earn a
heap of brownie points from me for just not leaving.
So it's two four million dollars. Two million dollars a
year is a twenty year old. Two year extension goes
through to twenty twenty eight, and so he's basically the

(03:04):
perfect housemate. Isn't he's got four million bucks? A dog,
no girlfriend?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Is his dog a shudder or not a it's one
of those redhead's. Redhead's rule my frank. He's a redhead, yeah,
my ruby.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So the next thing is he's so big he's going
to get into the territory of Nick nat Nui now,
And can I just tell you a quick story about
Nick nat Nuie.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
We did a story on seven.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
This is noble, this is our big Nick got We
went shopping with Nick nat Nui, right and we and
the promo was and Basil did the story.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So Bazzid went, did the story and followed him to
the shop. It was supermarket shopping. What is in Nick
nat Nui's shopping trolley?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay? What's the actual promo? Rock? Really it rated high too.
What was Nick buying? And cole? A lot of protein?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
So don't I ever underestimate the little things. And that's
where will be going. I'll be doing a story on
his dog, I reckon, That'll be the next thing made.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It is quite remarkable, but it's a great well done.
It's a good story. Well done to Dom Pike.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
And it's you know, there's a lot of Eagles fans listing,
and this will give him a lift.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And that's what it's about, green shoots. Isn't that what
sports about?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Giving you a lift, making you feel better about life,
letting you yell at the umpires and all that sort
of stuff, letting, letting go some stress.
