Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello Elliott, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Well it is over. It is the season.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I don't want to suggest that you'd be happy about it,
but I would be.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, you're never happy about it unless you win the
Grand Final.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, of course, absolutely so Adelaide one on the weekend
by forty five points, even though there was still a
fantastic turnout from Eagles fans and up to stadium.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So was that.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
But the Eagles were in it for three quarters and
then it looked like, I don't know, maybe the team
just ran out of legs.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Pretty much summed it up perfectly, I thought. And I
thought the boys had a real crack, especially for the
three that were tiring as well. Yeah, I thought they
really dipped in and had a real Red Holt crack.
And unfortunately we just couldn't take away the chockeys in
the end. But they're a very good team Adelaide, and
I actually think they should be a lot higher than
what they should they. I think they've lost maybe six
(00:55):
to eight games by under a goal two goals.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, with the few teams this year, didn't it bunch?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But going out of Pod won like six to eight
of you know, their games under a goal, So it's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
They still got every Friday night game at the MCG.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Next Friday under the episode Jah. I just think it
makes me laugh because it's supposed to be random.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, random home ground, I guess, yeah exactly. And they
did lose one even though they won it, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Help.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, so I actually had them a lot higher than
where they were this year. I thought even when we
played them early on in the season, I thought they
were going to be pushing finals and you know, going
quite deep. But unfortunately they lost a few games. But
boys at a crack and that's all you can ask for.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Mate, Luke show He's goal. What a beautiful moment that was,
the coaches pump of the air.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was good. So he took a dive straight after that.
I thought, oh no, what's going on here? And then
he got off. I was thank god, thank god. So yeah,
glad that he was able to run the game out
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, so it was farewell to Showy.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Shannon hern And what the heck was Nick nat Ui
doing in a white T shirt?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It looked really weird.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Why was it stand out a bit? It did send
out a T shirt? You must have a kajillion of them.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Look, I mean it's probably just Nick doing Nick things really,
so he's nickname, he can do it every once.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Really.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, he looked a bit like the orderly in between
the two. Now is it true that you and a
couple of mates decided you're going to carry Nick off
and then change your mind get carried off?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah? I mean that's that's one hundred and twenty probably kilos. Yeah,
it's yeah, he's a big boy, Nick. Yeah, he's a
big boy.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I probably said, don't bother anyone.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, I actually don't think. I don't think you wanted
to be carried off fair enough? Yeah, being walked off? Okay,
Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
That was a really nice moment. So you a forward
roll from from Luke She well that was very funny.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah that was that was
actually very good. And then Georgia tried to do it
straight after as well, Yeah, and just didn't get anywhere.
I just end up doing sort of like a push
up type thing, and yeah, it was very.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Did one the tighters helping knots?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, very cute memories like that you'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So now the lost means two things.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
One the club got a second Wooden spoon, but two,
it picks up the number one draft pick, which a
lot of people talk about. Is it too soon to
talk about what the club will do with that?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I don't think so. I think it's been spoken about
for majority of the year. Yeah, it feels like, yeah,
at least six to eight weeks have sort of been
brought up quite a fair bit within the media. So yeah,
I mean, it's it's an interesting thing. What we're going
to do with it if anyone offers this office at
the club, you know, a few picks or whatever I done.
I don't know. Yeah, I'm not one hundred percent sure.
(03:43):
So they have a list of who they think, you know, one, two, three,
four will go okay. They have a rating system. I'm
pretty sure how they work it out. But yeah, my
belief is that the top twenty are generally they all
kind of merge into one can get some very talent,
talented players in that sort of top twenty, regardless of
(04:05):
the number one or number you know whatever. Yeah, yeah,
so interesting to see what we do with it. Yeah,
who knows'd.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Be fascinating to look at the list. You have a
list of young player there's incredible young players and see
how things change throughout that day when the picks are
going and they disappeard. Okay, well there goes our second
choice and we go go here to this one.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah. I last year we kind of moved a few
around and we got Rubes and Hewing and that quite early,
which huge picks have been awesome for us. So I
think Port did it a few years back. They got
Rosy Butters and I think maybe Dours might might.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Have been the same handy players there.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, yeah, so if you yeah, if you move some
picks around, you get a few more inside that twenty
or thirty. You can actually pick up some good players.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
As it's not dissimilar to the way we do our
dirty center.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Actually, right, missed out one.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I missed out. I have yeah reaching things.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Do you know the old Steeler sanit Yeah, yeah, they
got dirty sad.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, it's a bit dirty around here.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, Elliott, how would you sum up this season at.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
A answor.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Individually the one that can go on here?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Individually? For me, miserable, okay, fair enough, frustrating everything, but yeah,
I guess for the team.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Frustrating and miserable.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Frustrating for the team. But I think towards the end
of the season it actually started to get quite positive.
I thought that we were actually building towards something as well,
which which felt quite good being out there as well.
Especially so Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Not making excuses, but I agree this has been a
really weird season of the final scores not reflecting what's
going on with teams. Like across the board, A lot
of teams have fallen into that category.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, they have, definitely the Eagles was one of them.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well yeah, yeah, for some reason, it felt like that
I reckon about halfway through the year. I mean, Rio
will push them for finals red situation and have come
out of nowhere halfway through a season. Adelade's just missed out.
So there's it feels like the competition's starting to get
very very even and it's the best team on the
day really.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Anyone can win the flag because it felt like four
weeks ago with dead ringers and then Dakos got injured
and then the captain got injured.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I actually think Brisbane are prime to go to the GF.
Now I can't say I'm losing at home and if
they do, then they've kind of you know, they've thrown it,
which is you know you don't want it to do that,
especially having a possibility of two home finals. Yeah, so
there and then in box seat to go to all
the way to the last day on September.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I would have thought if they're going to be thinking
the same thing, the coach would be up there going
I'd be a real shame not to play a GF
and give us as a this with that team.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, exactly, and super talented, super talented team. So they
got stars across the park. So yeah, I think they're
they're prime for a good September and I think Collingwood
is as well. They'll get few stars back.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And one thing you want to do is if you're
not playing finals, have an influence. And you guys had
an influence because because of the Eagles lost, the Bulldogs
didn't play final, they won't play finale.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We did say that we wanted to get a scalpe
and we wanted to ruin someone season.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So are we going to do it to a team
the Bulldogs? I really liked the Bulldogs. Goes back to
the Footscray days, rough scratch. They were scratching and biting
and getting it. They were Yeah, and I've just never
been able to shake that right.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
How man Ellie from the West Coast Eagles made I
do have a merchandise idea after seeing the great Josh
Kennedy on the field on the weekend, what about yourself?
Forget about the round jumpers, sell the Josh Kennedy Flanno.
Maybe just with a little bad because relaxed.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised he wasn't in some double buggers.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
He might have changed them.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, it was a very emotional night, that wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It was it was. Yeah, it still doesn't feel real
to a certain extent.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
No, and it won't until you probably run out again
next year.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, well you rock up probably day one a pre season.
Well they're not there, you know, locker and they're not around.
So it's sad, sad, the three big Pillars.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
It was nearly eight hundred games of footing. Yeah, incredible.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, so so.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Guess who will be around?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Who's that Adams.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So much?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I might say too much talk about you know what
is going on with Simo staying a Simo going a
Semo staying Well, they.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Backed him, everyone's backed him.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Good back by the boll good, back.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
By the book, back by the players back by a
lot of.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Fans signs up on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Did Yeah, But even like on our last game at
main training in that I reckon all the fans, majority
of them had a safe sign type of thing. So yeah, yeah,
it's awesome. Support. Fans have been phenomenal throughout the whole
of the year too, And that's just not not just
for the playing group, for the coaches. I think everyone
understands where we're at, where the list is at. So
(09:03):
I mean, would.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You letting got on with it now?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah? Why would you pay the tax?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Exactly? Why would you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Give the AFL that much money?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Did you look at the bottom line and go, why
would you give them that much money? What's the benefit
of changing it?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Couldn't give anything worse than giving the NFL more money?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, because it's millions.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, it would be about four meal It's just not
worth it.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah about this story last week that there was some
talk that some other people wanted you, but the club
said they wouldn't even entertain the thought.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And to keep your mits off.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Have this conversation like three years ago, stuff like floating around.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Maybe you know what goes around comes around.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Justin Timberlake said, well bring it sexy, you're anywhere in
the bar sat now.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, well, yeah, I'm contracted for another year. Yeah I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Going to It's not the first time that a contract
has been broken, that is true.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But you're not going anywhere, no intentions of going.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Okay, not going back to your boyhood dream.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I seriously doubt that'd be Do you know what happened
if that was to happen, and it never will, but
Nizzy would never let it happen, So then they'd have
to free I would have to do some sort of
sneaky deal with the Melbourne Club and then the Melbourne
Club would have to offload me straight away. It was
just like a fool.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
To think of nature.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah in the back door way that like, because Nizzy
would never never let it happen, no chance and would Yeah. Look,
I mean not for me, it's not for me.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Up before you set off on your end of season adventures,
which include thirty really, let's have your predictions.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Thirty on thirday?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Who's going to win the JW Medal?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
T K? But I actually think is going to be
a lot closer to what people would would think.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, Who's going to win the brown Line Medal.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I think De Colos is miles ahead, but I actually
think Petrarch is probably not far off. Okay, as the
sort of games get shorter now and he's been injured,
so but I think he's yeah, think he had enough. Yeah,
I think he's going to go.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And who's going to play the already tipped Brisbane in
the Grand Final.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Collin Collinwood Cold Brisbane.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Okay, yeah, so yeah, it's just it's hard to see
him losing, especially if they get a few stars back.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Okay, well, I reckon day Colss is coming back, maybe
not round one of the finals.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, if they can scrape through, then they get that
and he gets that extra week and then he should
be okay for the prelium and then bang.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
And they reckon that SEM was good because you get
that week off. So yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well, thank you for making our Tuesdays all the much
better for another season.
Speaker 1 (11:51):

see soon is good?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
