00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.319
Welcome back. It's the Flow Friday Sports show on Flow FM,
2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.200
and with the Riverland Footy League concluding with their Grand
3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.919
final a couple of weeks ago, it's great to be
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.279
able to welcome to the program the president of the
5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.880
A grade premiership team, the Renmark Rovers, Hayden Brown. Good
6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.519
a Hayden. How's it going good?
7
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:18.440
Dan? How are you?
8
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.280
I'm going all right? Have you stopped smiling? Stop the
9
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.640
celebrations just yet or is it all still rolling on?
10
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.879
I know smiling No, I think that the smile will
11
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.879
take a little while to diminish. Celebrating Well, we've got
12
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.560
to get back into the real word sooner or later.
13
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.439
So celebrations are still there, but winding down, let's say.
14
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.119
Fair enough. I'm sure. I'm sure some of the players
15
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.799
are probably still celebrating, maybe a little bit harder than you,
16
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.200
and some of the other staff of the club are.
17
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.240
Yeah, correct, Yeah, they had a big few days. But
18
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.719
I think a few of those are flowing down as
19
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.920
well and getting back into work life. But they've got
20
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.439
a footy trip coming up, so I know that'll kindle
21
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.960
the enthusiasm.
22
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.920
A very good stuff. Where's the desk nation for footy trip?
23
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.719
This year, Meningetang. I think they're off to the Raking
24
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.799
over near Swanning Hill, so yeah, apparently that's a pretty
25
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.120
big day. And I did hear that the Locks the
26
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.000
North guys are headed over there as well, so that
27
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.000
we get on well with the Locks of North lads.
28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.239
I'm sure they'll have some good fun over there.
29
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.400
That's good to know. You don't want any rivalries clashing
30
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.480
on a footy trip or on a mad Monday or
31
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.799
anything like that, so hopefully.
32
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.120
We'll leave the rivalry too out and the oval mate excellent.
33
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.239
No, that's what we like to hear. Now, let's talk
34
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.079
a little bit about this win over Barmra mon Ash.
35
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.400
We heard a bit from Waker's Ben Venning, our correspondent
36
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.200
for this segment regularly on last week's show, but it
37
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.959
would be great to be able to get your perspectives
38
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.599
from it. It was a I mean, looking at the scoreboard,
39
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.840
it looks like it was somewhat one side, and obviously
40
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.760
the final margin was reasonably close, but it was Renmark
41
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.200
leading at every change. But it was a close game
42
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.359
and no doubt Barmera Monash made it a pretty good
43
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.040
push to get on top in that last quarter.
44
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.159
Yeah, yeah, true. I think probably we probably opened a
45
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.719
little better than Barbara on the day and there was
46
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.919
a couple of I guess patches early. Josh Vader got
47
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.879
off the chain a little bit and kicked a crucial
48
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.879
cut the goals to extend the margin in the first half.
49
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.000
But yeah, Barbara certainly chipped away and got back to
50
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.360
within five points. I think the last quarter, which I
51
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.199
could have done without from the nerves, but made it
52
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.240
for a good spectacle for everybody. That wasn't a blowout
53
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.479
or a completely sided game. We were just lucky we
54
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.280
were on the right side of the ledger come the
55
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.960
final sign and if we have.
56
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.840
A look at the rend mark goal scorers, you've got Nick,
57
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.280
Josh Vader and Timothy Wilford with a couple, and Zach
58
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.919
Garderi with one as well. I reckon. When Ben Venning
59
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.400
and I spoke pretty much every week, they were the
60
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.759
names that were getting mentioned the most regularly. How much
61
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.080
of a thriller is it to be able to watch
62
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.479
a Grand Final where the club star players stand up
63
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.840
on Grand Final Day and are able to deliver the
64
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.680
result that they did.
65
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.319
Yeah, well, I guess you don't win Grand finals without
66
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.199
having you know, a team effort. But yeah, there was
67
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.240
certainly some good performances from as you say that some
68
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.800
of the marquee guys. Tim Wilfrid's one of those guys
69
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.360
that just wants all in his hand in those clutch moments.
70
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.759
You know, some guys shy away from it, but Tim
71
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.039
certainly doesn't. He wants to be involved in it right
72
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.680
in the in the heat of battle. That Gartrige goal
73
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.960
I think was crucial, you know that was that was
74
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.719
a cuff shot from the pocket to I think answer
75
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.639
a Barma goal. So yeah, that was an important one,
76
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.599
and lot of said vaits and Nick Gillard hit the
77
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.319
board early, so that sort of got us off to
78
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.159
the start with and thread everyone down a little bit,
79
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:48.560
I think.
80
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.000
And on the other side of it, for Barbra mon ask,
81
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.080
johno Beach with three and Mason Middleton with their other
82
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.879
goal again sort of the superstars getting involved into the game.
83
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.960
What's it like having to I mean, I know you're
84
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.360
not the coach and you're not sort of putting the
85
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.000
game plan together, but how nervous is it? I suppose
86
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.400
watching a player like John O Beach go to work.
87
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.039
He's obviously a superstar at the company. He's played at
88
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.680
a really high level elsewhere around South Australia, and yeah,
89
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.759
he's a he's a very good player, So yeah, what's
90
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.639
it like watching him? And no doubt he was trying
91
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.519
to anchor that comeback from Barmera Monash.
92
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.199
Yeah, well, John he was put the dagger through the
93
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.560
heart in the in the second semi late in the game.
94
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.079
So he's one of those guys that doesn't need too
95
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.639
many touches of the footy in the in the ford
96
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.319
art to really hurt you. So you're obviously conscious of
97
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:43.279
having guys like him and Mason that can really take
98
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.600
a game away from you if you're not if you're
99
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.079
not careful. So full credit to a couple of our
100
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.639
guys that were back that you know, probably didn't cancel
101
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.240
them out, but probably in the gate of their dominance
102
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.519
I can put it that way. They obviously played reason games,
103
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.879
but we just had a few more opportunities I suppose
104
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.399
than they did.
105
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.839
And just looking at the way the fixture played out
106
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.160
this year, you played against Barbra Monash in round one,
107
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.480
you played against them in the last round of the season,
108
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.560
you played them two other games throughout the season, and
109
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.800
then in the first week of finals and in the
110
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.240
grand final. It's pretty rare to see two teams go
111
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.240
head to head six times in one season. How much
112
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.360
does that sort of add fuel to the rivalry knowing
113
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.560
that you're going against them in a grand final for
114
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.480
what is the sixth match of a season.
115
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.279
Yeah, well, I guess we're reliving history here because we
116
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.240
had the same thing happened against Wakery back in sort
117
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.519
of twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, where we seem to be
118
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.879
funning up against them regularly, particularly late in the year
119
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.399
and into the first couple of weeks of finals. So
120
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.560
obviously after the twenty twenty three loss to Barbara, you know,
121
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.279
that stakes the fire for this season and enhancels. That
122
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.199
enhances that rivalry. So yeah, to play them six times
123
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.279
across the year, Yeah, there's obviously they want to beat
124
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.439
us as much as we want to beat them. So yeah,
125
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.560
which is healthy for the comp You know, it's not
126
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.199
a nasty rivalry, it's just a healthy one. But everyone's
127
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.600
trying to get the better of the other. So yeah,
128
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.519
it's good. Yeah, we enjoy it, very good.
129
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.560
Healthy rivalry is one of the best things about sports.
130
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.879
And then when you cross that line and it turns
131
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.720
into an unhealthy rivalry. It can be one of the
132
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.439
worst things in sports. But that's great to hear. And
133
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.800
the rivalry, I suppose is further stoked by the Under
134
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.000
fifteen Mixed Grand Final where Barmara Monash pipped you by
135
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.120
a point. No doubt that one was a bit of
136
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.439
a heartbreaker, especially after leading by twenty five points at
137
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.879
halftime eleven points at three quarter time. It looks like
138
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.040
it was a great comeback from Barmara Monash and a
139
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.360
heartbreaker for Renmarks under fifteens, but great for them to
140
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.240
be there on the day, nevertheless, no doubt.
141
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.680
Yeah, absolutely a few of the kids in the under
142
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.279
fifteens again reliving the nightmare of twenty three because a
143
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.600
lot of those kids played in the under thirteens Grand
144
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.120
Final where they got beaten after the siren last year.
145
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.240
So but to their credit, you know, they were probably
146
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.800
the underdogs, our lads going in Grand Final day and
147
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.079
they played a really man on man style of game
148
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.600
early and I think it was just a case of
149
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.160
you know, as the legs get tired and you know,
150
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.639
the better Barbara guys started to find a bit of
151
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.800
space and get the hands on the footy and they
152
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.680
just chipped away and you know, to go extra time
153
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.639
in a Grand final it could go anyway, and to
154
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.040
lose by a point, yeah, it's a bit of a heartbreaker,
155
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.079
but they should hold their heads up high and full
156
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.199
credit to Barbara like they were. I think they were
157
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.800
twenty five thirty points down at one stage, so you know,
158
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.240
a bit like Brisbane last week in the AFL. Just
159
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.399
never give up. So they didn't, and yeah they got
160
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.800
the jockeys.
161
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.040
And overall, pretty happy with the with the season for
162
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.079
the whole club. It was obviously one premiership, one other
163
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.680
Grand final appearance, but yeah, happy with the way the
164
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.920
club's going for the future.
165
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.879
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, we've got good numbers in the Genius,
166
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.600
which you know, you hope you can hang on to
167
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.600
them through their through their footy journey and a lot
168
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.439
of our A grade guys played junior footy at Red Mark,
169
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.959
so hopefully the kids are witnessing that or watching that
170
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.759
to see that if you stick out at these opportunities
171
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.320
there we had four grades made the finals, as you say,
172
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.960
a couple of them made the Grand Final day, so yeah,
173
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.679
hopefully twenty twenty five we can we can build on that.
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.960
We've got the Grand Final at home next year, so
175
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.440
there's a bit of editing sent to get as many
176
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.720
as we can in on the last day next year,
177
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.559
but we'll just we'll just enjoy this one for now.
178
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.039
Plenty of added incentive there and no doubt it will
179
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.120
be a very good crack at going back to back
180
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.440
for the A grade team. Hayden, thanks very much for
181
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.879
coming on and telling us all about that. Hopefully you
182
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.360
enjoy the celebrations even though you said they're starting to
183
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.000
wind down now. Hopefully you enjoy what's left of them,
184
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.919
and hopefully all the players can enjoy the footy trip
185
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.000
and then yeah, get stuck into preseason and load up
186
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.639
for next season.
187
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.960
Yeah, absolutely, Dan, that's that's the goal. And I guess
188
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.159
you're only as good as your last win, so as
189
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.360
soon as as soon as the end of the year
190
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.639
ticks by, it it's get ready and prep for the
191
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.600
next one. So yeah, we'll see what twenty twenty five brings.
192
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.799
Cheers, Harden all the best.
193
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.240
Good on your Dan. Thanks mate,
1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.319
Welcome back. It's the Flow Friday Sports show on Flow FM,
2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.200
and with the Riverland Footy League concluding with their Grand
3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.919
final a couple of weeks ago, it's great to be
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.279
able to welcome to the program the president of the
5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.880
A grade premiership team, the Renmark Rovers, Hayden Brown. Good
6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.519
a Hayden. How's it going good?
7
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:18.440
Dan? How are you?
8
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.280
I'm going all right? Have you stopped smiling? Stop the
9
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.640
celebrations just yet or is it all still rolling on?
10
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.879
I know smiling No, I think that the smile will
11
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.879
take a little while to diminish. Celebrating Well, we've got
12
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.560
to get back into the real word sooner or later.
13
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.439
So celebrations are still there, but winding down, let's say.
14
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.119
Fair enough. I'm sure. I'm sure some of the players
15
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.799
are probably still celebrating, maybe a little bit harder than you,
16
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.200
and some of the other staff of the club are.
17
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.240
Yeah, correct, Yeah, they had a big few days. But
18
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.719
I think a few of those are flowing down as
19
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.920
well and getting back into work life. But they've got
20
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.439
a footy trip coming up, so I know that'll kindle
21
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.960
the enthusiasm.
22
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.920
A very good stuff. Where's the desk nation for footy trip?
23
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.719
This year, Meningetang. I think they're off to the Raking
24
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.799
over near Swanning Hill, so yeah, apparently that's a pretty
25
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.120
big day. And I did hear that the Locks the
26
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.000
North guys are headed over there as well, so that
27
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.000
we get on well with the Locks of North lads.
28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.239
I'm sure they'll have some good fun over there.
29
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.400
That's good to know. You don't want any rivalries clashing
30
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.480
on a footy trip or on a mad Monday or
31
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.799
anything like that, so hopefully.
32
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.120
We'll leave the rivalry too out and the oval mate excellent.
33
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.239
No, that's what we like to hear. Now, let's talk
34
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.079
a little bit about this win over Barmra mon Ash.
35
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.400
We heard a bit from Waker's Ben Venning, our correspondent
36
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.200
for this segment regularly on last week's show, but it
37
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.959
would be great to be able to get your perspectives
38
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.599
from it. It was a I mean, looking at the scoreboard,
39
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.840
it looks like it was somewhat one side, and obviously
40
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.760
the final margin was reasonably close, but it was Renmark
41
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.200
leading at every change. But it was a close game
42
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.359
and no doubt Barmera Monash made it a pretty good
43
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.040
push to get on top in that last quarter.
44
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.159
Yeah, yeah, true. I think probably we probably opened a
45
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.719
little better than Barbara on the day and there was
46
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.919
a couple of I guess patches early. Josh Vader got
47
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.879
off the chain a little bit and kicked a crucial
48
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.879
cut the goals to extend the margin in the first half.
49
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.000
But yeah, Barbara certainly chipped away and got back to
50
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.360
within five points. I think the last quarter, which I
51
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.199
could have done without from the nerves, but made it
52
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.240
for a good spectacle for everybody. That wasn't a blowout
53
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.479
or a completely sided game. We were just lucky we
54
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.280
were on the right side of the ledger come the
55
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.960
final sign and if we have.
56
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.840
A look at the rend mark goal scorers, you've got Nick,
57
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.280
Josh Vader and Timothy Wilford with a couple, and Zach
58
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.919
Garderi with one as well. I reckon. When Ben Venning
59
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.400
and I spoke pretty much every week, they were the
60
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.759
names that were getting mentioned the most regularly. How much
61
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.080
of a thriller is it to be able to watch
62
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.479
a Grand Final where the club star players stand up
63
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.840
on Grand Final Day and are able to deliver the
64
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.680
result that they did.
65
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.319
Yeah, well, I guess you don't win Grand finals without
66
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.199
having you know, a team effort. But yeah, there was
67
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.240
certainly some good performances from as you say that some
68
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.800
of the marquee guys. Tim Wilfrid's one of those guys
69
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.360
that just wants all in his hand in those clutch moments.
70
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.759
You know, some guys shy away from it, but Tim
71
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.039
certainly doesn't. He wants to be involved in it right
72
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.680
in the in the heat of battle. That Gartrige goal
73
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.960
I think was crucial, you know that was that was
74
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.719
a cuff shot from the pocket to I think answer
75
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.639
a Barma goal. So yeah, that was an important one,
76
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.599
and lot of said vaits and Nick Gillard hit the
77
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.319
board early, so that sort of got us off to
78
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.159
the start with and thread everyone down a little bit,
79
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:48.560
I think.
80
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.000
And on the other side of it, for Barbra mon ask,
81
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.080
johno Beach with three and Mason Middleton with their other
82
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.879
goal again sort of the superstars getting involved into the game.
83
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.960
What's it like having to I mean, I know you're
84
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.360
not the coach and you're not sort of putting the
85
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.000
game plan together, but how nervous is it? I suppose
86
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.400
watching a player like John O Beach go to work.
87
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.039
He's obviously a superstar at the company. He's played at
88
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.680
a really high level elsewhere around South Australia, and yeah,
89
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.759
he's a he's a very good player, So yeah, what's
90
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.639
it like watching him? And no doubt he was trying
91
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.519
to anchor that comeback from Barmera Monash.
92
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.199
Yeah, well, John he was put the dagger through the
93
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.560
heart in the in the second semi late in the game.
94
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.079
So he's one of those guys that doesn't need too
95
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.639
many touches of the footy in the in the ford
96
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.319
art to really hurt you. So you're obviously conscious of
97
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:43.279
having guys like him and Mason that can really take
98
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.600
a game away from you if you're not if you're
99
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.079
not careful. So full credit to a couple of our
100
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.639
guys that were back that you know, probably didn't cancel
101
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.240
them out, but probably in the gate of their dominance
102
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.519
I can put it that way. They obviously played reason games,
103
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.879
but we just had a few more opportunities I suppose
104
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.399
than they did.
105
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.839
And just looking at the way the fixture played out
106
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.160
this year, you played against Barbra Monash in round one,
107
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.480
you played against them in the last round of the season,
108
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.560
you played them two other games throughout the season, and
109
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.800
then in the first week of finals and in the
110
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.240
grand final. It's pretty rare to see two teams go
111
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.240
head to head six times in one season. How much
112
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.360
does that sort of add fuel to the rivalry knowing
113
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.560
that you're going against them in a grand final for
114
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.480
what is the sixth match of a season.
115
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.279
Yeah, well, I guess we're reliving history here because we
116
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.240
had the same thing happened against Wakery back in sort
117
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.519
of twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, where we seem to be
118
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.879
funning up against them regularly, particularly late in the year
119
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.399
and into the first couple of weeks of finals. So
120
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.560
obviously after the twenty twenty three loss to Barbara, you know,
121
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.279
that stakes the fire for this season and enhancels. That
122
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.199
enhances that rivalry. So yeah, to play them six times
123
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.279
across the year, Yeah, there's obviously they want to beat
124
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.439
us as much as we want to beat them. So yeah,
125
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.560
which is healthy for the comp You know, it's not
126
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.199
a nasty rivalry, it's just a healthy one. But everyone's
127
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.600
trying to get the better of the other. So yeah,
128
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.519
it's good. Yeah, we enjoy it, very good.
129
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.560
Healthy rivalry is one of the best things about sports.
130
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.879
And then when you cross that line and it turns
131
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.720
into an unhealthy rivalry. It can be one of the
132
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.439
worst things in sports. But that's great to hear. And
133
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.800
the rivalry, I suppose is further stoked by the Under
134
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.000
fifteen Mixed Grand Final where Barmara Monash pipped you by
135
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.120
a point. No doubt that one was a bit of
136
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.439
a heartbreaker, especially after leading by twenty five points at
137
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.879
halftime eleven points at three quarter time. It looks like
138
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.040
it was a great comeback from Barmara Monash and a
139
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.360
heartbreaker for Renmarks under fifteens, but great for them to
140
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.240
be there on the day, nevertheless, no doubt.
141
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.680
Yeah, absolutely a few of the kids in the under
142
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.279
fifteens again reliving the nightmare of twenty three because a
143
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.600
lot of those kids played in the under thirteens Grand
144
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.120
Final where they got beaten after the siren last year.
145
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.240
So but to their credit, you know, they were probably
146
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.800
the underdogs, our lads going in Grand Final day and
147
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.079
they played a really man on man style of game
148
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.600
early and I think it was just a case of
149
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.160
you know, as the legs get tired and you know,
150
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.639
the better Barbara guys started to find a bit of
151
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.800
space and get the hands on the footy and they
152
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.680
just chipped away and you know, to go extra time
153
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.639
in a Grand final it could go anyway, and to
154
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.040
lose by a point, yeah, it's a bit of a heartbreaker,
155
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.079
but they should hold their heads up high and full
156
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.199
credit to Barbara like they were. I think they were
157
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.800
twenty five thirty points down at one stage, so you know,
158
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.240
a bit like Brisbane last week in the AFL. Just
159
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.399
never give up. So they didn't, and yeah they got
160
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.800
the jockeys.
161
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.040
And overall, pretty happy with the with the season for
162
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.079
the whole club. It was obviously one premiership, one other
163
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.680
Grand final appearance, but yeah, happy with the way the
164
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.920
club's going for the future.
165
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.879
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, we've got good numbers in the Genius,
166
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.600
which you know, you hope you can hang on to
167
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.600
them through their through their footy journey and a lot
168
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.439
of our A grade guys played junior footy at Red Mark,
169
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.959
so hopefully the kids are witnessing that or watching that
170
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.759
to see that if you stick out at these opportunities
171
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.320
there we had four grades made the finals, as you say,
172
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.960
a couple of them made the Grand Final day, so yeah,
173
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.679
hopefully twenty twenty five we can we can build on that.
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.960
We've got the Grand Final at home next year, so
175
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.440
there's a bit of editing sent to get as many
176
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.720
as we can in on the last day next year,
177
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.559
but we'll just we'll just enjoy this one for now.
178
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.039
Plenty of added incentive there and no doubt it will
179
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.120
be a very good crack at going back to back
180
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.440
for the A grade team. Hayden, thanks very much for
181
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.879
coming on and telling us all about that. Hopefully you
182
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.360
enjoy the celebrations even though you said they're starting to
183
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.000
wind down now. Hopefully you enjoy what's left of them,
184
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.919
and hopefully all the players can enjoy the footy trip
185
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.000
and then yeah, get stuck into preseason and load up
186
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.639
for next season.
187
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.960
Yeah, absolutely, Dan, that's that's the goal. And I guess
188
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.159
you're only as good as your last win, so as
189
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.360
soon as as soon as the end of the year
190
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.639
ticks by, it it's get ready and prep for the
191
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.600
next one. So yeah, we'll see what twenty twenty five brings.
192
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.799
Cheers, Harden all the best.
193
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.240
Good on your Dan. Thanks mate,
