00:00 Paddy a good win by the Cats today, but a real experience lining up against Trent Cotch
00:06 and one of the greats of the AFL and you were manning him up quite a you know quite a few times
00:12 Yeah, yeah, no it's good. It's good um yeah, seeing a bloke you've seen watch growing up
00:17 Yeah, it's good fun, and it was all about it, and yeah, he played a real good game
00:21 So it's a good experience for him. He did
00:23 You went to him quite often at the centre break, but you said it wasn't necessarily a fixed role
00:29 Yeah, no we just um we just as a midfielder know
00:32 When the where the good midfielders are going to be and we know when to lock down on them and um
00:37 Yeah, it's not a set role, but we just know we gotta we gotta be accountable because otherwise they'll show us up
00:42 So yeah, we just got to look after those blokes
00:44 Yeah, look he might have played for the for a few months, but he had a real crack. He was out there all day
00:50 What was it like actually sort of?
00:52 Manning up, was he chatty? Did you have a bit of a you know a yarn with him during the day?
00:57 Yeah, here and there yeah, just a quick talk here and there nothing too serious though, but yeah
01:02 He's too too busy running circles around me probably to have a chat, but um nah nah
01:06 It's good. It's good good seeing how down to earth he is and stuff. Yeah, it was cool
01:09 Yeah, a bit of a danger in these games sometimes as you sit back and you watch rather than get involved
01:15 Did you find yourself being a spectator on occasions do you think? Oh yeah?
01:19 Well you see him kick his goals and stuff like oh you just knew that was going to go through so yeah
01:23 Oh, yeah, you always knew it was gonna be dangerous. So yeah, try try not to watch too much
01:28 Look, it's been a great start
01:31 For the cats you go to the break and unbeaten you've had a couple of games where things haven't worked out
01:38 You know the games being called off, but
01:40 Jarrett Gianpaolo
01:42 First year as coach. He's pretty pleased obviously that the way things are going yeah
01:46 Yeah, I think we're obviously disappointed with them the way some games have ended this year
01:51 But that's just the way it goes and we know now we can't we can't relax. That's that's two four points of loss now
01:57 So we've just got to keep our going every game thinking
02:00 We got to win this and so we can have the best chance we can come on final storm. So yeah
02:04 Yeah, yeah, that's weird.
