Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

Here at Two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we record this podcast.

There were innerie people.

This land was never seated, always was always will be.

Hello and welcome to Two Good Sports Sports News told differently.

Speaker 2

Yes, what it's me, Georgie Tunney's done me.

I'm happy to jell me lovely to see him.

Speaker 3

I'm glad you haven't chosen to go on hiatus in one of one of the biggest weeks in sports in the country.

It is just so exciting to be alive in Grand Final week.

Speaker 1

If we sound a little bit delirious, dear listeners, because we are, tell me and I are running on fumes.

Because this week and next week arguably the biggest weeks in Australian sport when it's not an Olympic year.

Speaker 2

Good caveat, Yeah.

Speaker 1

Good caveat, Good caveat, because it is AFL Grand Final week, which means a whole lot of lunches if you get the invite.

I've got none, but some people other people they're lunching every day.

I think every single meal they're out.

Speaker 3

Do you know where we did get the invite to the Penthouse and Crown which you've never seen.

Okay, we had the pleasure of interviewing Matt raw That is the side note to what was you and I getting a tour of the biggest hotel room we've ever seen.

Speaker 1

Guys, guys, I don't think you understand this one hotel room could sleep families plural comfortable apparently snoops in there now with his forty people.

The moment that there's more negative space, and by that I mean there's more hallways and random rooms that just seem to mean nothing.

Speaker 2

Yeah, then there is space in my home.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I think by the twelfth chair of some kind that I saw, I was like.

Speaker 2

Oh, there's the boardroom that seats eighteen.

Speaker 4

Yeah, we aren't in Kansas anymore.

Speaker 3

We walk in and there as a bull table.

That's a full sized ball table.

That's right, which is the ultimate flex to noble.

They're going unnecessary here.

Anyway, we were excited to speak to Matt Raw current and he was very hungover at the time.

Brownlow Medalist, but honestly the best sport if I could nominate him for a good sport for the rest of the year, and.

Speaker 2

By that I mean we've got two episodes episode for the next two EPs, he was divine, absolutely divine.

Speaker 1

I would say that his personality is footy, sweetness and footy like.

He's just so lovely, so wonderful.

I want to pick him up, put him in my pocket, protect him at all costs.

Yes, he was divine.

So I'm so excited for you guys to listen to that chat that is coming up before we get there, though, we do have to do official good sport.

Speaker 3

That sport if I was going to pick another good sport from that night.

Now, if you're like me and you're a bit of an impartial coming into this week's AFL Grand Final, you're like Geelong, Yeah, okay, I mean you've won a lot Brisbane Oh again?

Speaker 2

Great?

Speaker 1

Sorry, I'm so sorry, I must you're not impartial, you're going for the Lions.

Speaker 2

No, see as a default time.

I'm really not.

Speaker 4

You have no have to.

Speaker 3

Well, you're deeply passionate about the line and you love me.

But I'm very good friends with Beck Madden.

Oh yes, who I saw almost throw herself from the third tier at the MCG after they lost last year's prelim.

She cried and then had to go tonight on seven News because it was a ten second turnaround from the end of that game to they do a late news and she's genuinely their number one fan.

I watched her cry and get her shit together.

Yeah, because there were bulletins to be read.

So there's a lot of people I know that are heavily invested, but me as a fan, they're two very winning sides.

Speaker 2

So I'm like, no, who do I like?

Speaker 3

Enter the brownlow because I know who I want to win everything now.

And it's great that I mentioned Beck because she is the one interviewing.

Speaker 2

This delightful, delightful human being.

Speaker 4

I know who it is.

Speaker 5

Domestic and family violence is very complex.

What have you learned and what do you want to help change?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 6

I think I've learned just the importance of role models in the community, particularly as a sportsman and someone who has a little bit of a platform within society, the significance and the importance of making sure that we turn up and behave well and really set good standards as young men and hopefully those the next generation looks onto that and then behave that same way, and they're creating a really great example for the next generation.

Speaker 5

Okay, and just finally, would you like to see any thank yous.

Speaker 6

Yeah, thanks very much.

I'd like to thank Carolyn and Craig Robinson for reaching out all those years ago.

I'd also like to just thank everyone, all the first responders for all they do in Australia.

Domestic and family of violence is a major issue in Australia and I just implore young young men and young people to educate themselves and be better.

Speaker 4

Harris.

Speaker 1

Congratulations you are Lions Captain Harris Andrews talking after receiving the Jim Steines Community Award.

Speaker 3

If they discover how to clone, people will take of him just.

Speaker 2

Out in the community.

Speaker 3

For him in that room to stand up and say, I implore people, but young men to be better.

Speaker 4

Incredible.

Speaker 2

We are the pride of Bread.

Because this man needs a metal.

Speaker 3

Give him everything, give him everything.

Speaker 4

I just I'm protecting about Row at all costs.

Speaker 1

You are now protecting Harris Andrews at all costs right at dawn.

Speaker 3

I just watched that and I just thought you wonderful, lovely human being and if you're leading the club, I wish you well.

I wish you all well.

Speaker 1

But also because on this podcast, as our listeners would know, we talk a lot about role models and a lot of the time footy players doing everything they can to run in the opposite direction of that tag, being like, it's not for me, it's not for me, it's for.

Speaker 3

Me, and it's what makes headlines, right, Like if someone drinks out of a toilet, obviously we're going to talk about that because it's outlandish, and there's just you know, there's other people that do the carpet and give you a don't argue Hi Bailly sick because Georgie tried to speak to.

Speaker 2

And got absolutely nowhere.

Speaker 3

And that's the stuff that it's attention seeking behavior, so we give it the attention that the media demands.

And yet this quietly happens where someone is meeting victims of domestic violence and he's working for charities, and there are so many AFL players that do this, that go to hospitals and go sit with kids and give their time.

I just Chef's kiss beautiful, love it win everything, amazing player.

Speaker 4

He might actually he could actually win.

Speaker 2

That's so right.

Speaker 1

I think this is where I give a public apology, just as you say the Norm Smith to Geelong fans last week's episode, I predicted that Tom Stewart was going to win the norm Smith, and he got heavily concussed and will miss the Grand Final.

So I do apologize for jinxing him.

Speaker 4

In that way.

Speaker 2

It was not my intention.

Speaker 3

I thought, you're gonnapologize for saying they all look the same because you've viral.

Speaker 4

Perhaps absolutely not, that's just facts.

Those are facts, okay.

Speaker 2

I said Nick da KOs was going to win it.

Speaker 3

Oh, and he came the bridesmaid again, the poor bugger in the give the man a Brownlow.

Speaker 1

What a beautiful segue that leads into my bad sport of this episode.

So yes, it also came from the Brownlow ceremony, of which you were there the carpet.

Speaker 4

I was there on the carpet.

Speaker 1

I got to talk very briefly to Bailey Smith, but I also got to talk to Nick Dakos, and he was very nervous.

You could tell that he thought he was He thought he was going to win, because one did he was two dollars fifty because everyone thought he was going to win, right, I remember, I also asked I had a chat to Noah Anderson, the captain of the Suns and best mate of Matt Raw and he was the only one that gave me of all the people that I talked to or talked to Max Gorn, he was the only one that predicted that Rowley might win the whole thing.

He was the only one that mentioned matt Raw.

And so when matt Raw won, I mean himself, he was stunned.

And we'll get to that chat.

But it was such a wonderful moment for him personally.

But the celebration in that room was great, and so I found it a little bit odd.

Dare I say bad sportsman like that?

The AFL chairman, Richard Goida got up and this is the first out going chairman, outgoing chairman.

This is the first thing that he says.

After Matt row.

Speaker 4

Is on the stage with the brown mile around his neck.

Speaker 1

Everyone is still clapping and giving him a standing standing ovation.

Speaker 3

Still sinking in for him that he's done it.

Cripper's up there, and this man says this.

Speaker 6

I know I speak on behalf of everyone in this room in congratulating nik.

Speaker 7

Wait what.

Speaker 6

As the suns produced?

Speaker 4

Oh sorry, I thought you forgot who won the freaking medal?

Are you joking?

Speaker 1

That was the first thing that he says, with matt Raw behind him wearing the brownlow I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here, his dog, that person that Nick Dekos.

Oh my, it was given Kanye had the best video of all time?

Speaker 2

Like, are you joking, Kanye?

Speaker 3

I think we've all agree, Beyonce and Beyonce, they cut to Dekosh's like, I'd like to do a homosympcet into the bushes.

Yes, at this point, I don't need another shot of me on camera all night.

Speaker 4

You've told me all everyone has told me I'm gonna win.

I didn't win.

Speaker 1

I don't put me on a leave me alone, and then everyone's clapping me.

Speaker 4

Great, I didn't win and the winner is on the stage.

Speaker 5

What are you?

Speaker 4

I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3

I think I couldn't believe a kind place he did of wanting to acknowledge.

And we know that Nick has been and he's so young to have been favorite.

Speaker 4

For three years in a row, so he played.

Speaker 2

For I know he's just been.

Speaker 3

He's obviously runner up to Cripper, who had like an outrageous amount of votes last year.

So there was a gaping chasm.

And again it was so clear that Matt Raw was the best player this year.

He has the perfect start.

Speaker 1

And people and what I would say, there has been some commentary around the voting system.

Speaker 4

I mean, leave it alone.

Speaker 3

It's not an MVP, it's the best and fairest.

Yes, it's strange, just leave what else are we going to talk about?

Speaker 5

Leave it alone?

Speaker 4

Leave Britney alone.

Speaker 1

But even in there's like from this is I am summarizing here, But essentially I think there's like three games that are.

Speaker 4

In biggest dispute.

Speaker 1

I say in air quotes as to whether or not Matt Raw should have got three votes for them in those three games if he only polled one, because if he was pulling it well and it wouldn't matter he won by that big of a margin.

Like it's crazy, na Zioway Miller is a different story.

That's a different narrative.

The umpires were blind, deaf, and I don't understand.

Speaker 3

My favorite response is like, imagine walking away from that since Kilda win and going to you know who monstered that, Jack Viney, because that game alone got desire probably like extra five ron ok on his contracts.

He's now the AFL's first two million dollar man because after that everyone was like, throw the check book at him, because he basically said everyone get on my back.

Speaker 2

I'm not losing this.

Speaker 3

It was the standout game of the year, the biggest comeback in AFL VFL history, and they've gone.

Speaker 2

Three votes j Viney.

But it did provide us the great memes.

Speaker 3

The faces and the responses are just doneing amazing.

Speaker 4

The Melbourne Demons actually did the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 2

Oh, they've just leaned into it.

Speaker 1

And they leant in and they put Jack Viney three votes and they said, what an amazing comeback winning by us.

Speaker 4

I have no bad memories of this Night's well done, Jack.

Speaker 3

In saying that apparently there was so many like he laid an unbelievable amount of tackles.

Speaker 2

I think it was thirteen.

Speaker 3

And there's so much to be said about It's the players that get the contested ball are the ones that tend to poll well because you know, our umpires are looking at the contested ball and when you lay a tackle, they're the ones going well there, Like it's the visibility of it.

It's always going to be a midfielders medal.

It's like you never defenders if they pull like you have to be basically Jesus back there because it's just not going to happen.

Speaker 4

We'll start the campaign now for Harris Andrews.

Speaker 3

Obviously standard, but I think it's one of those things.

It's nuance to our game, it's nuanced to footy.

It's strange.

I think the daim have a far better system.

I love the fact that you actually don't.

You only see the votes for half the count in the dallim.

Speaker 4

Quick, quick, quick, quickly.

You can't be having enough quick sport.

Speaker 3

Andrew Dillon deciding to bolt out of the gates and me being like, I might actually see the end of this count by nine point thirty.

Goddamn it, Channel seven.

We don't care about your highlight packages.

Just let me find out who the winner is actually.

Speaker 1

I spoke to Dill's on the carpet at Friend of the Pod obviously, and I was like, how are you feeling?

Speaker 4

How what are the vocal warm ups?

Speaker 8

Like?

Speaker 4

What are you doing?

Are we fo?

Speaker 9

What is it?

Speaker 4

What is the sound of music?

Farlow?

What is that so fun?

Speaker 7

Do?

Speaker 2

Ray Me?

Are you good?

Speaker 4

Out of the stroke?

Speaker 2

Is gonna know?

Sound of music?

Speaker 4

I'm like, what are you doing?

And he just goes, oh, yeah, I'm just not spoken.

He was like this, I'm not spoken very much today, So I'm just gonna try and.

Speaker 1

Keep this, keep my voice okay, like this, And then I was like, no wonder because he was prepping to be like but la la la.

Speaker 3

Go so fast, very good, I think very nervous because he actually started off reading the full names.

Speaker 2

Oh the first like the first one he went Georgie Tunney.

Speaker 3

And then when he got to the second game, he was like, gee, tunny, Like is it I just think would you would be nervous?

Speaker 4

Oh yeah, you'd been nervous.

Speaker 2

Imagine having to know how to perfectly pronounce every player in the league.

Speaker 1

So funny you say that because I forgot that that's what they did.

And so when I remember it was Hawthorne and it was like three votes je Yukim and.

Speaker 4

I was like, his fucking name is Jai.

Speaker 2

And I was like.

Speaker 4

He's had a finals campaign for the Ages on guys.

Dell's Dell's help me out, And I was like, oh, that's me, that's not me.

Yeah, sorry, Dill's that was on me.

Put my hands up, My bad, my bad?

Speaker 1

What an evening?

What an evening?

And you talk about the contested ball?

Can I just say that that's likely who's going to win the Brown though we saw that in Matt Row, because yes, his personality is sweetness and footy, but on the football pitch, his personality is absolute bulldog Ye chaos.

I've never seen a more fearless player, and he's had injuries and he still just runs.

Speaker 3

Apparently he personally owns seventy to eighty footballs.

Speaker 2

I'll give you the hot tip.

Speaker 3

The club have a few, so like you probably don't need to have.

But he just and I loved the part of his speech that I really loved is he said, I don't mean to sound arrogant, It's just this is playing a Fels all I ever wanted and I just had a belief that I was going to do it.

And I genuinely believe in the power of that vision that like almost manifestation, it was all he ever wanted and it happened for him.

And that's where I think it was just out of body for him to be standing up there.

And I am so on board with the sons, you know.

I love their pink guernsey and I just feel that they're especially considering how well Anderson pold as well.

Speaker 1

It's a true dynasty chat, it's a dimasty, it's a dimosty.

It's such a dimasty well done, says that somewhere.

Yeah, well should we should we do it?

Speaker 4

To the chat?

Speaker 3

Do you want to mention that you got a bit nervous and did an intro that you didn't have to do.

Speaker 1

Okay, full disclosure, guys, I know that I just give off professional films twenty four to seven.

Speaker 3

And another context, we're sitting like there's a lot of people around that are listening into our chat management that might have snapped their necks at different points.

Speaker 2

I'm sure you can pick which ones might be where he said he passed out.

They were like, wait, what what?

Speaker 3

But it was a really surreal moment to be there in the penthouse having a chat, and again he couldn't have been more lovely.

But I'm like, George, over to you, and you've just gone with I went with.

Speaker 4

A full show intro.

Guys.

So for the second time in this episode, take it away me.

Speaker 2

It's coming up next.

Speaker 1

Oh we're ready to go without further ado.

This is too good Sports sports news told differently.

Speaker 4

I'm Georgie Tanney.

Speaker 3

I'm maybe Jelmy, And my goodness, do we have the greatest interview of all time in the greatest interview location of all time, because no one has ever seen a Sweet or a hotel room quite like this.

Speaker 1

Oh my goodness, Matt raw Brow MYO Medalist twenty twenty five, How have you pulled this off?

Speaker 4

Where are we?

Speaker 7

I don't actually know how we pulled this off, but I got told this morning that there was a Sweet ready to go.

So yeah, I think it's one of the nicest ones in Crown and I can't really believe that they're in here.

Speaker 9

I can't believe how big it is and how many rooms there are.

Speaker 3

You start the night obviously in a different room, and then while you're out enjoying the celebrations, they're like, believe me, we've moved your bag somewhere and there's a pool.

Speaker 2

Room you want to go that late?

Speaker 8

Yeah?

Speaker 7

Basically I was just in a in a pretty normal room last night.

Yeah, it's pretty stock standard, and then I've I've rolled up to to this room this morning pretty hungover, I have to say as well.

So yeah, but it's nice.

I mean that the views are unbelievable, like three sixty greet views.

Speaker 9

Yeah, pretty cool to.

Speaker 4

Be and all you had to do was winter have to do?

Speaker 2

Is been the best player in the national competition.

It's just the way that you're treated.

Snoop Dogg apparently's hiding in a room.

Speaker 1

Yeah, how do you feel in all seriousness seriousness though rally, like, how has it sunk in?

Speaker 9

Yeah?

Speaker 7

I think it's slowly sinking in, like like last night, Like I don't think it's sunk in at all.

Speaker 4

When did you actually twigged that ship I'm gonna win.

Speaker 7

Well, probably when it was actually official, to be honest, you know, the heap By declared, probably gave it away.

And even when I when I went up there on stage and you know, Patrick Cripps put the medal around my own neck, I was like I still didn't really believe it.

And it was like looking down the metal, like you know, I've grown up like watching the brown Low and to be up on stage, Yeah.

Speaker 9

It was just yeah, it was so surreal really, so I think.

Speaker 7

It's it's so keen maybe a little bit this morning being up here in this week.

Speaker 3

You do mention, though, kripp but he's the only one that's actually ever polled more votes than you, and you do join such an illustrious club, and we understand that lucky Neil might have even given you a buzz this morning.

Speaker 2

That's really lovely.

Speaker 9

Yeah, no, that was really nice.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 7

I was see next to my manager this morning having some brecki.

Yeah, and he called he got Tommy and then passed the phone over to me and just congratulated me.

Speaker 4

So yeah, words of wisdom.

Speaker 7

Uh no, he just said enjoy it.

Really so but he didn't have to do that.

Speaker 9

That was.

That was really nice of him.

And you know he's he's a very good player.

Respect him a lot.

So that was.

That was a cool phone call to get.

Speaker 1

I'm glad to see you sitting here with the brownlow actually around your neck because I understand that it went walk about some stage.

Speaker 2

We've had some charge or we've got to you.

Speaker 7

Yeah, well I think we'll pass in the middle around a bit last night and I might have passed out at some stage and then and then yeah, the metal might have been with someone else.

I woke up and you know, it was like where is it?

But but he was in good hands, you know, Yeah, it was.

It was always in good hands.

So I'll say that someone had it and it got back to me.

So yeah, the people in the room were We're very trustworthy.

Speaker 2

So we would have to guess that your mum would have got three votes last night.

Speaker 3

We absolutely love her and that video of you guys having that beautiful hug.

Speaker 2

Afterwards, we did just bump into your sister as well, and she's like, I was in my pjs.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I wasn't ready for this, and then all of a sudden they were thrown into the celebrations.

When you do win a brown Low, though, you naturally reflect on your journey and how many times you were dropped at oz kick and that you loved your assex since you were ten.

We bloody love that getting a bit of a brand drop in there as well.

But when you reflect upon that journey, how special was it to hug your family and have them here too?

Speaker 9

Yeah?

Speaker 7

Oh yeah, very special?

Like that means everything.

Yeah, like I said in my speech, like I don't think there could be a more supportive family really growing up.

You know, two sisters, I'm in the middle, and yeah, they you know, they keep me grounded.

They don't get don't let me get away with anything.

Speaker 2

But people think having brothers prepares you for AFL.

Speaker 9

No, no, because.

Speaker 2

Sisters will not give you an inch.

Speaker 7

Yeah, yeah exactly, But you know they you know, they wouldn't care if I was playing really well or not, like they just don't support me through do anything.

Speaker 9

And yeah, Mum and Dad as well.

Speaker 7

Like like they supported me with I always wanted to be a footballer and you know they Mum and Dad drove me so like to trainings and games like when I was growing up and you know, never missed out on anything.

But no matter what I did, they would have they would have supported me in whenever I did.

So to have their have them there last night was yeah, it was pretty special.

And to hug them after afterwards was yeah, a cool, cool, cool experience.

Speaker 4

Did you have you heard from your mum this morning?

She around here, Like.

Speaker 7

Yeah, I mean I have.

I've hardly been on my phone this morning, Like I haven't even seen my phone.

So but I was talking with my sister Mags this morning because she's here, and I think Mom still passed out.

Speaker 3

So Hash Brown's happening too.

That's receivers that you want in this place.

There's hash Brown.

Speaker 7

Yeah nor but yeah, Mum went hard last night, so so a lot of people.

Speaker 9

So yeah, well.

Speaker 4

If you can't do it when you've won a Brown, though, when you're gonna do it.

Speaker 7

Well exactly, that's right.

That was the scene of the night last night.

Speaker 3

And you do mention people that have been there on the journey with you, Noah Anderson one as well.

The fact that the two of you pold so well is literally an afl first, how well you happen to achieve as a team.

Speaker 2

The sons are just on the up.

Speaker 3

They're out there.

I'm gonna say I'm on board massively.

And I always loved Damian Hubwick.

He's a storyteller.

He's a man that loves to get people involved.

What was the strangest story or theme that he's thrown at you?

Because he loves a theme, doesn't he demo?

He loves He loves to tell you a bit of a story or a narrative to get you into things.

Speaker 7

Yeah, no, he he does love a theme.

We usually go in blocks of like four games, so we'll have something like per month, like I remember like not this year, but last year, his first year, there was a there was a Bison block, which is like the Bison like if a storm comes and like stands in the storm, it doesn't run away, So it's like kind of like big Boy Month.

Speaker 3

So that was kind of that is that entailed, do you just become Storm Weather instead of going to reins coming?

Speaker 2

How do I hide you like I'm the Bison.

I'm built for this.

Speaker 1

I mean, while you're in Starring and Twisters, I know too much about bisons.

Speaker 7

Oh yeah, it's kind of like that.

But he's had a lot of good, good ones as well this year.

Loved his American sport, you know, NFL, and he's a very he's a very good motivated So yeah, I really love those.

Speaker 1

Our next couple of questions, Raley, if you will so entertain us, do you have some visual prompts.

Speaker 2

If that's okay?

Speaker 4

So, some involve fashion, some involve just general knowledge.

Quick fire.

Speaker 1

All right, we do a thing on this podcast where I potentially give different jobs to a f L players aesthetics, and I am on the recorder saying that I thought that you'd be a great acting extra in Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2

She went as far as to say that you had your notebook because you were learning the lines.

Yeah, Storm would have been King of the North.

Speaker 1

Now I am on the record of saying that Noah Anderson, Lovely, one of your best mates, would be a tennis instructor in a different life.

Speaker 4

What do you think he would be?

Speaker 2

Do you reckon if he's not an AFL.

Speaker 9

Player, that's a great question.

Speaker 7

I don't think it's tennis the spot.

Speaker 4

I reckon he could be a theater usher as well.

He could be an usher.

He's a bit too tall, but he'd be good at directing.

Would he really would?

Speaker 2

He really would?

Speaker 4

Ben King, you can't tell me that that man's not a chef.

Speaker 2

Yeah, he's cooking apparently you can see the hat on him.

Speaker 9

He wouldn't be a chef.

Speaker 2

What's your thick?

Speaker 7

What would he be?

Speaker 2

This is hard after a big night too.

Speaker 7

He loves he loves his reading in his book.

So yeah, maybe like, look, I've got one more.

Speaker 4

Who should we go?

Speaker 7

Okay, our Davies.

That's that's a very interesting one.

Speaker 2

A backup dancer from you?

Fit model good from you?

You've got model backup dancer?

Speaker 7

Yeah, I mean he could be backup there.

He could be a lot of things out.

I think he's got a lot of different talents.

But one of them is he's actually like he actually flies planes.

Like yeah, he's like he.

Speaker 2

We've made him a backup and he's a pilot, oh my god.

Speaker 7

Yeah, Like he's working on his pilot license, I think in his flowing planes before.

Speaker 1

So some people are that's crazy, Oh my god.

Speaker 4

Okay, well now I've gone.

Speaker 3

I've gone fashion estions for you, and you're gonna have to cast your mind back to some of the great men's looks that we've seen on the Brownlow red carpet, because it's all about the girls, and honestly, they start makeup in sweets like this at about eight thirty in the morning.

Speaker 2

There's a lot of who are a lot of photo shoots.

Speaker 3

But if you had to rock on the carpet, Patrick Dangerfield's white suit circa a couple of years ago, he went with the white jacket and the lapel, nat Fife's cane Strong or the Sonnies that we saw last night on Bailey Smith.

If you had to elect one, you can choose more than one, but one of the three to.

Speaker 9

Rock, that's a question.

Speaker 7

I feel like for me, I'd go the nat Fife cane yeaheah.

I feel like it's a bit more understated than the others.

So it's like you're not trying to be too you know, to you cool and outlandish, but you still got a bit of yeah, you know, maybe a bit of aura, so.

Speaker 3

Still still commanding his bit of aura and can hide behind back for photos.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, and for surgery.

Speaker 1

Final questions from us rally, because you've been so generous with your time, and.

Speaker 2

Look, because I think Snoop is I think he's needing to come in.

Speaker 4

On the door, wanting us to get out.

Speaker 1

Last night such a wonderful night for you personally and for all of your family.

There were a couple of controversial moments, namely Nasaiah with his three boats.

Speaker 4

What do you think?

Sorry, his two?

But would have got three to that game?

Yeah?

What was that?

What was the feeling like in the room and were you consciously watching it?

Yeah?

Speaker 7

Oh yeah, yeah, well I think it would have been similar to what you guys saw on TV.

But it was when everyone knew the game that happened and what what what he did?

So when he got called for the two and said of the three, it was a bit of a bit of a gasp around the room.

So yeah, no one could really believe that.

Speaker 8

But yeah, after ah, no, I knew the camera camera was already locked off on him, so it just got the reaction of being kind.

Speaker 2

Of stunned at his own result, which isn't too bad.

Speaker 3

But we do have another question for you, and again we're taking nothing away from the winners last night a year, but there has been discussion leading into this week as to whether or not they should have mark or golid the year inclusive of the finals and the prelims, given some of the amazing ones that we've seen.

Speaker 2

In previous years.

Speaker 3

Would you like to see that change so it's just basically the best mark or goal that we've seen so far, rather than it being in the regular season.

Speaker 7

Ah, yeah, yeah, I think so, Like it's yeah, it's a season as a whole.

Speaker 9

I think so you might as well.

We were.

I think then the King was a disappointed that he didn't.

Speaker 7

Get Mark of the Year Mark of the year because he had two pretty good ones.

Yeah he has, so he was a bit flat with that, but he was still at the when.

Speaker 1

You're playing throughout the season and I mean, you polled thirty nine was the final?

Speaker 4

What does the final count?

Speaker 2

Like?

Speaker 1

Are you thinking after certain games of now that I'm getting three?

Speaker 3

Did you start your season being like I've been folawless?

Speaker 7

Oh?

I know, to be honest, like a like I knew going in that there was you know, that I was, you know, a chance or like that.

I was up there with a few players, so I kind of took it as it comes.

And you do you do have you know, you do remember games that you did well in and you go, I could I could poll well here, so yeah, you do chat with it, like with Nles next to me and Jack as well, like oh yeah, I could go right here.

Speaker 9

So yeah, well you.

Speaker 4

Didn't just do all right, your bloody won the whole thing.

Speaker 3

Yeah, And we just want to say thank you so much for your time, and it genuinely couldn't happen to a nicer person.

And I think we started our podcast and we believe in sport as being a real vessel for people being able to be themselves and also to be wonderful leaders.

Speaker 2

In the world.

Speaker 3

And Georgie and I both Rito's were the first people.

I think that that comes with being authentic and the fact that you're an authentic person that loves your family.

You're a wonderful leader and we're just so wrapped for you, and we hope that you only ever stay in the presidential suite going forward.

Speaker 9

I hope so as well.

Speaker 7

Thanks thanks for having me on, guys, I really appreciate it and your.

Speaker 2

Assex looks sensational.

Speaker 4

Yeah they do.

Company man, can.

Speaker 3

You imagine having the biggest hangover of your life then these two girls rock up, sit on a couch and tell you a teammate's a chef and you just have to be like.

Speaker 2

Oh, yeah, sure that one's a pilot.

Speaker 4

You can tell at that.

Speaker 3

Point he was having an outer body experience, going, look, I love that these are different, but I don't have this in me.

Speaker 2

I am tired.

Speaker 1

Can I just say a huge thank you too, Rowley and everyone who helped us put that together at the AFL, and our producers who turned it around so quickly because when I say, dear listener, that this was all organized like in t minus four minutes time out, how the winner was before we could go ahead, and it was just seamless and rolly, what a good sport like.

He was so hungover, so brutally hungover, but just absolutely divine and God I felt for him because we were like, I don't know, the seventy ninth interview that day, and he didn't have.

Speaker 3

A million he had so this is the thing that I don't think people realize.

So you win the Brown loan you celebrate, and especially if you're one of those players that's not in the Grand Final, and quite often they go hard.

Speaker 2

So he's gone hard.

Yeah, as he told us question two.

Speaker 3

When he's like I may have passed out, I'm like, he's one of us.

He understands a two good sports energy.

The rest of this is going to be fine.

Where he's like, it may have passed out.

Where was it?

Speaker 2

Who knows?

I was like, yes, Mad, is welcome to that chat.

Speaker 3

So you go on your party and then you are on Breakfast TV like we're talking Sunrise Today show.

Speaker 2

Event at eleven thirty.

Not for post Media, I would have gone, look, I just won this thing, and I'm all sleep, I'm asleep.

We've had such a chocoer block EPP that I thought I'd go with something super low brown for the super We thought we might have the same one because you were like, mine's a bit random, and I was like.

Speaker 1

I mean, can I just say, Nathan Cleary, we will get you on the podcast, whether you like it or not at one point, even if it's the same way that you got Bailey Smith technically, but he will have some difficult questions to answer from me, namely, why do you hate me?

Why do you like inflicting pain on me?
