00:00:00
Speaker 1: A good story. This fun, especially if it comes off Juel and elg sample premiership defender. His name is Will Gold. He is training to be a NFL punter and why not god can he? Rooster Cod?
00:00:11
Speaker 2: Will? Good afternoon, Good afternoon boys, Thanks for having me.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: It's just been a lifelong dream.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: Ah or not about life long, but certainly on the radar thing sort. You're eleven, year twelve at school at pac Oscar Chapman and he's over there in America at the moment hunting. So yeah, interest come from that.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: Okay, how do you get accepted into Pro Kick Australia. You got to apply or someone says, oh gee this will good can Rooster Cod?
00:00:42
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:00:43
Speaker 2: They run trials all around Australia and I guess major cities. So yeah, you just sign up for that and have a kick and yeah, good enough for keating. Obviously they invite you over.
00:00:55
Speaker 4: Yeah so will the next step you obviously try out here to have a kick and they go, we can your good enough? You come over to Melbourne. What happens in Melbourne for how long?
00:01:06
Speaker 2: Yeah? So pre Christmas? I've been here for the three leaks. Now I've got another two weeks to me just learning. Yeah, basically all it is just learning how to kick, getting rid of all my old habits from footy and how you drop it normally when you're kicking an AFL ball. And then yeah, twelve months next year.
00:01:28
Speaker 4: So what is some of those subtle differences that you have to with the ball drop on the like and where you have to hit it.
00:01:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, most of it's just ball drop. Yeah, rather than just dropping it low. It's a little bit higher and angle of the ball is a little bit different as a lot that goes into it. As I'm learning. It's no walk in the park unfortunately, but yeah, we'll get the hang of it. Absolutely.
00:01:50
Speaker 4: No, you're not doing this just because you've got a three game suspension, aren't you.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:53
Speaker 3: I think it's down too.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: I think that's good.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: Have you got have you got your are in a college over there? Will has anyone sought you out or You've got to get through this Pro Kick Australia.
00:02:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, so as part of the program, I guess if you if you get through and learn and obviously good enough, they helped to place you to college over there, and there's a heavy guys in college at the moment. Joe McGuire one of them in Ohio States, and they're all doing pretty well. So get through the program, learn all the all the skill that needs her, and then that they look after that at the end.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Okay, what's going to be your best kick? The one that hangs the highest or a tory or a drop punt. I mean it's starting to get full of x a FL or Australian type players. Will who's mentoring.
00:02:44
Speaker 2: You the mental is not really sure.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: I think i'd just here at the moment have all been great, good, so just yeah, learning off them. But there's a few XAFL guys in the program, and I think Billy gow As he's heading overstone, so hopefully he goes well, and yeah we go from that.
00:03:03
Speaker 4: Okay, I think Dustin Fletcher's lady plays, Yeah, Eddie mcguise's lad as well, he's out. I suppose there's a pathway now building for the Australians.
00:03:15
Speaker 2: Isn't there. Yeah? I think so.
00:03:17
Speaker 3: It's something we do naturally obviously growing up, just kicking the ball the center, whereas I think some of the Americans probably what I'm receiving it a little bit more so andy for guys that can can kick a ball, so you have to change a few thinks technique wise, but yeah, pick it up quickly.
00:03:36
Speaker 4: I can't remember what Osie it was, but he he went for the punt and it ended up coming straight back at him and he and he dropped him in a tackle because not a lot of punners do that. But I suppose in our game we're used to tackling.
00:03:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well hopefully yeah, hopefully your punts don't get returned all the way to you that. But yeah, I was in a few of those.
00:03:59
Speaker 3: Think it was most well, yeah, one of the sledger boys who are trying someone up.
00:04:03
Speaker 2: That's always a good time watching that.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Will wild all the best, mate, thanks for sharing.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: We'll keep in touch so easy.
