Asking the big questions Adrian Barrett's with Ledo bar Elliott.
Good morning, Hey guys, great man, welcome going on.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
He's pumped.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
He's pumped because we've got a big fan day today
at West Coast Quarters. See your fans got voted the
best in Australia where loyalty They for loyalty and turning
up and and fifty thousand on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
There's been some lean years and that just keep rocking up.
So I'm not surprised. I have been saying we do
have the best fans.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Though.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was a bit of a shock too, wasn't it
How big the loss was. Were you a bit shocked?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Yeah, I wasn't expecting a big loss like that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
I thought we would be a bit more competitive throughout
majority of the game, and sadly that just wasn't the case.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
So frustrating.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Watch interesting stat, wasn't it. The ten youngest players on
the ground were Eagles players. That's a lot I've played
footy when you've got a lot of young blokes to carry,
not carry, but.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know, they're up and down a bit.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's just a lot of experience out of the side
and inexperiencing, which is hard because yeah, you can ride
the roller coaster a bit more than most, which is frustrating.
I think, you know, we saw that it looked like
the players sometimes out there didn't know what to do,
and that was a frustrating aspect, which you know, hopefully
(01:39):
we can we can get better on. We can tie
to some things up and at the end of the day,
like the fix. We sat down and we went through
the game yesterday and a lot of the fix is basic,
simple things. So yeah, once we can do that and
consistently be a strong football team over four quarters, then
we can obviously win games of football. We're surprised if
(02:00):
you I would have thought with the first two or
the first four rounds and we've won two. But you know,
there's still plenty of things that we have to work
on in order to be a very good team.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Will the up and downs, the young blocks, you'll get that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
What you have to deal with as well, unfortunately, is
the Swan's are off for sixteen day break. Yeah, and
your blocks are off for six day break. Young bugs,
and they just they weren't going to let up with it.
They was feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
So they look pretty fresh, Howard, didn't they?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, they look pretty fresh. So but you know, you
can't talk.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
We can't talk about that otherwise you know, I'll probably
get sanctions and get fine. So yeah, but there is
I do feel like there's a bit of balance out
of power.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, there is.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Some hope that going forward because you might be out there.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Mate.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I've got a test today, so we'll see how we go.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm feeling pretty good, but there's a few things that
I need to tick off and there's some big things,
so we'll see how we go. Main training today, big
fan day, so you'll probably see me running around doing
a few tests and drills.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I'll be there with the camera someday. The game against
Geelong and in Adelaide too.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Does that help? It's a bit longer, give you more time.
Just got to get through today.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mean, if it would have been a different story,
if the port game had been a bit different, but
we once I was like, ah, well you know, maybe
maybe the earlier the better.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So yeah, look, no no change.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
How does it feel that it was precautionary? Wasn't it? Really?
Was it all?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Now?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
It feels good?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Not really, it was it was precautionary in the sense that,
like I knew there was something small there, and it
was a matter of hey, like this could be a
week or two or it could be more. So what
do we want to take? Do we want to take
our medicine? And they were just like, yep, we'll back
in and you know your body better the most, so
we'll back in and then we'll get to work throughout
(03:48):
the week, which we have done. So hopefully the it
proves and the test today can I can get through
and hopefully help out the younger the younger.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Group this week.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So the scan just showed a little bit of something,
a little bit of something. Yeah, fair enough. Everyone's been
talking about Harley of course, because well he got involved
in the game. They targeted him, they tagged him. It
wasn't it didn't seem to be a lot of help.
But then again, you're not there and Robertson wasn't there
(04:17):
and what do you think of all that situation?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I mean, it'll make a lot of difference if you're
back there.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It's yeah, yeah, it is frustrating to watch, but I mean,
I think there were so many spot fires going on
throughout the ground that I think players were just trying
to do their role when they were you know, they
probably got a bit insular in that sense because they
were just trying to focus on what they needed to do.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, and when you're getting flogged, and when you're.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Getting flogged by that's just try and worry about your
role and survive. And I think that's probably one of
the things that we can grow better on, is trying
to get outside yourself and help others.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
So, yeah, we need to get better at helping Harley.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
We need to get better at helping out our teammates
obviously in times of games when things get tough. So
and you know that comes with experience. So once we
can get that, you know, I think we'll start to
be in games of football and we can be more
competitive throughout.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Just having you there does seem to not calm him,
but it just makes it a bit easier for him.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What do you actually do? What is it that you do?
You speak to him, or you just your presence beside him.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Or you you get between him and the Tagger everything.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I just yeah, I'll make it hard for obviously the Tagger.
I know that.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
A few years back, I think wind Hagen sts was
giving him a rough day, so I was kind of
laying to him a bit. But look, there's either a
physical thing, or there's either the mental side and the
verbal side as well. So I'll be in here for
him if I need to be, I'll get in the
Tag's way, or I'll just be basically as annoying as
(05:44):
I can for.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Harley's opposition. That's sure.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I love that. I'll tell you one thing I wanted
to ask about.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I heard one of the young blokes say that one
of the key values this year was love and support.
That's different, isn't it from when we came through year.
Especially you saw when Clark's and hitting Mkircher. That was
my era, right, that had a lot Yeah, coaches hitting players,
but love and support.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's pretty good. Yeah, Yeah, there's a different in't it.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Who would have thought that?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah? Yeah, times have changed, times have changed.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We've got a change to you.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, love, love and support, So that's what that's one
of one of the trademark values.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
So we're going after that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Mate, and you're in the Oka jumper. What do you
think mate?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Very cool?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, very cool as well.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You know, yeah, I Reckon It's I see him everywhere,
so I think they're pretty cool. We're wearing them to
that Fanda main training so that'd be pretty cool. And
I think we're wearing the getting around this week as well,
so that's that's going to be awesome to see. So yeah,
I honestly want to get my hands on one as well.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
