00:09AFL is war without weapons, no padding, your chance of injury is a hundred percent but I've
00:26come this far, I can't just stop. You can tackle from any direction. You don't really know
00:34where the contact's coming from. If you are willing to put your body on the line and go
00:38all in, some great things can happen. This 2025 season is unprecedented by the number of teams
00:49that could win a premiership. There is no doubt over the last four to five years, every single
00:54club across the league have now got star players to a dominant, which are making these teams
00:59really hard and unpredictable. This has to be the biggest game ever played in this state.
01:04We're in a do and die scenario. Pressure starts to rise and the anxiety, you start to get a
01:11little bit more tense. Pressure's good, it's part of the game. As soon as you stop feeling
01:16the pressure, you're probably done. Marcus Bontempelli says signing a new contract
01:20isn't front of mind. As I start to get older, legacy's important, I can't afford to wait.
01:25Every club would love to have a conversation with you.
01:30Every time they speak about you, it's always the number one draft pick.
01:36You know me more than anything, I was blown away by how much it blew up. I was like, I've
01:41let him down.
01:42Eustace, number one pick. Absolute little flop. As a mum that breaks your heart, that someone
01:46could say something about you and we know that it's not true. And I remember I was like,
01:50Jesus, this is taking a real toll on me. Georgia, I always thought that I'd end up with her.
01:55No one will intimidate you. Because all you do is get suspended and fined.
01:59Toby was charged again. No more of it, I'm sick of it.
02:04I do some stuff that some people might not like.
02:08Demi, I wanted that to hit your head.
02:11I've done enough losing. At the end of the day, I want to do everything I possibly can
02:14to help my team win.
02:17The games, the easy part, beyond the field, is obviously when you feel a bit more uncomfortable.
02:23I'm scared about the change. Imagine what the 44 players under me are feeling.
02:27We've lost a winnable game again. We've got to learn how to win.
02:32We play to win premierships. That's just the bottom line.
02:38Stakes are high. The margin for error is so slim.
02:42We've experienced last year what it is like to get to the top of the mountain.
02:47Our final day, that pure euphoria, that final sign, it tasted the ultimate success.
02:55I don't want another team to feel that.
03:23Hey, Tobes, just get a bit of a warm-up done. Get a bit of shadow boxing done.
03:28Um, just get loose and warm. We get moving in about two minutes, right?
03:37I've always been competitive
03:40Maybe a little bit of a chip on my shoulder
03:43Good, just punching straight on
03:45With those feet
03:47Always pretty keen to play a physical ground of footy
03:52Lots of people out there that get highly offended or angry
03:56With how I go about it
03:59I just think, well
04:01If I see you in a boxing ring when I want
04:03We'll see how you go
04:04But until then
04:06I couldn't give a fuck what you say
04:10Toby Green, Greater Western Sydney Giants
04:14I'm playing the forward line
04:16Trying to create goals
04:19Off the ground, Toby Green
04:20And he slots it
04:23The higher the stakes of the games
04:29The more emotional you are
04:31Green
04:32No regard for your safety really
04:37And that's why I'm feeling at my best
04:39They will never surrender
04:44Come on
04:45Right, right, right
04:47Carefree was taken
04:50Yeah, it was happy to push boundaries
04:56I think I thought it would be good fun
04:58And we are on
05:01Sometimes stepped out of the lines
05:05Of what's acceptable
05:32Tobey plays on the edge
05:35That's what makes Toby great
05:37It's also one of the things that gets him in trouble
05:41There's been multiple incidents over the course of his career
05:45Toby Green referred directly to the tribunal for making contact with an umpire
05:49Green has been charged in making unreasonable or unnecessary contact with the eye region
05:55His rap sheet is as long as anyone in AFL history
05:58Eye gouging
05:59Kicking guys in an area where you probably shouldn't be kicked in
06:03Pulling hair
06:04Just sort of rat bag behaviour
06:07He's been the villain
06:08He's been the guy that you went to barrack against
06:11Public enemy number one
06:24Hi, so
06:25Like what's the history been like with Toby Green?
06:28Anytime there's a bit of a scrap
06:30Toby Green and Bonapalle going here
06:32Toby's somewhere in the thick of it
06:35They step toe to toe and Bonapalle didn't take a backward step
06:38Seemed to always cross paths
06:40And it would boil over to the point where we end up in a bit of a Barney
06:43So yes, he's an antagonist
06:48Eddie might have called me soft, weak, insipid, I don't know, something like that
06:54To be honest, these days I really don't really care
07:00Let's have a little stretch
07:01Get the heart rate down
07:03It's the most physical sport on the planet, no doubt about it
07:07Always sort of tread pretty close to the line of what's acceptable
07:10And what's not
07:10And you've got to get that balance right
07:13And make sure that you're playing every week
07:23Alright, two kicks each
07:24You've got to stop the ball inside the circle
07:27So once both players have done it twice
07:29You move down to the goal square
07:31And you can have one kick each
07:33You've got to take it in turns
07:34First team, you've finished with it, hit the post
07:36Middle, middle, middle, middle
07:38GWS Giants have been in incredible form throughout the year
07:42And looking for a top four finish
07:43At their very best, they look like they could be a real premiership threat this year
07:48Abby Holmes, host of the AFL on Channel 7 Australia
07:51Survivor alumni, I'm a premiership player
07:56For Toby, you look at the evolution of him as a player, as a leader
08:01But he certainly hasn't changed his approach in the way that he is so wired to win
08:07He's just relentless in chasing a premiership
08:11I've been pretty good the last three or four years without getting suspended
08:15A fair bit of its maturity
08:16A fair bit just understanding, you know, your role in the team
08:21And especially as captain now, like, that's just not on, not acceptable
08:27We're in a really good stage in the competition
08:30In a position to win a premiership
08:32But this season is more even than any season that I can remember
08:36Someone's going to be really unlucky to miss out
08:38But if we went out from here, we're in
08:42Talk to him!
08:44Toby's been massively influential every single week
08:47You want your captain out there with you while we're playing must-win games
08:52A lot's got to go right to make sure you're a chance to win it
08:57I don't want to miss big games and big finals
08:59I'll try and stop getting suspended
09:01But I won't really change it the way I go about playing
09:05Oh, shit!
09:07There's no way to head through it, though!
09:21Here we go, something illegal
09:24You just shattered my chest
09:27You literally just shattered my whatever this is
09:30Georgia, and we met in high school
09:35So I played basketball against her as a kid
09:38And she was always this girl that was pretty much better than all the boys
09:45And I knew straight away I'd want to marry her and have kids with her
09:54Toby, you kind of have an excuse because you didn't make a shot
09:57She certainly keeps me in line
09:59She's very good at that
10:00Next score wins
10:01Next score wins right as you get it
10:06Do you want me to say fiancé or partner?
10:08Well, fiancé is right, isn't it?
10:09Is that scary?
10:10No, well, is it scary?
10:11You tell me
10:11Yeah, it sounds scary to me, but
10:14I don't know, I guess I am
10:17Georgia Sturton is my name
10:19And I'm Toby Green's fiancé
10:28He is the opposite on the football field to what he is in real life
10:32I'm not saying he's an angel because he definitely has crossed the line at times and has deserved some of
10:37the backlash
10:41I even have friends that haven't met him ask me, what's he like?
10:44Is he angry?
10:45I'm like, he is so far from angry
10:48I can't do anything to get him angry
10:52Yeah
10:53I sometimes just wish people could see there is a lot more to Toby
10:57Can you say that, my fault?
10:59Our daughter is Isla
11:00She's 18 months now
11:03I think for Toby, it's the first time something's come that's bigger than football
11:10What are you doing?
11:13Are you having a drink?
11:15It just is amazing what little girls can do to tough men
11:22I always knew Toby would be a great dad
11:25But I was a little bit worried of how it would be with a little girl
11:28And the backlash when he does cross those lines
11:40People are saying, I hope your family members die
11:44Or you should kill yourself
11:45Or I've had DMs saying, you know, I saw him cheating with girls
11:49And does he bash you up?
11:55It probably affects me more than Toby
12:01Hey mate, yep
12:07Toby's been good for a few years
12:09And even though he knows the Swans are a big game
12:12He knows they're going to get into him
12:13He will actually either walk away
12:15Or just like, not give anything
12:18And that is so different to the Toby of like maybe six, seven years ago
12:22So there is a bit of trust in him that, you know
12:24He's not put himself in these situations now
12:33Friday night, bright lights, primetime football
12:36Greater Western Sydney are looking to cement a spot in the top four
12:39Sydney are trying to remain in the finals hunt
12:42While their season has a heartbeat
12:44So the stakes are massive
12:46It's just going to be a beauty boys
12:48I mean, they don't like each other
12:49Let's make no bones about it
12:51Isaac Keeney's the big guy, isn't he?
12:53He's the energiser for his team
12:55Obviously the Giants will be fully aware of that
13:02They're underway
13:06And the Swans will look to attack
13:08He needs the man
13:09The Giants will be disappointed with that
13:26He's getting a little nasty now
13:29Toby Green hasn't seen a lot of it just yet
13:32Just continuing to struggle
13:33He's got the man always going
13:35He's taking bodies on the way through
13:38He tries to break through a couple of them
13:49Oh, fuck me
13:53Like, what has he done?
13:59It was just a rational decision in the moment
14:02It wasn't personal
14:04It was just
14:05It was a bad minute for me
14:09This looks much more like the Giants
14:12They're absolutely flying at the moment
14:17From 35 points down
14:23Six wins in a row
14:28This is a huge victory for the club
14:30On the eve of the final series
14:31The only cloud that once again
14:33Hangs over this football club
14:34Is what will happen with Toby Green
14:36And the on-field actions that
14:38Have reared its head again
14:40It will be a nervous 24 hours
14:42Of the Giants waiting to see
14:43What happens if Toby is suspended
14:47And what that might do
14:48To the rest of their season
15:05It was, you know, frustrating
15:07Yeah, again
15:08Like, it's happened so many times
15:10It's just a lapse in control
15:13But, yeah
15:15Obviously, you can't be doing those things
15:28Good evening, everyone
15:29Tonight, the Centenary Gala
15:31We celebrate the greats
15:33Of this football club
15:34The top 25 will be named tonight
15:51I was lucky enough to be named as part of the top 25 players of the Western Bulldogs football club
15:57Which is pretty big for me
15:58We keep saying, everybody, how did we get this guy?
16:02Well, I'm just as lucky
16:03What do you prefer to be called?
16:05Marcus, Bond, the Bond?
16:06What is it?
16:07Oh, in this setting, Marcus
16:08Because I'm not wearing the kit
16:09I'm not in the jumper
16:10Look out, Bontempelli
16:12But when I'm in the red, white and blue
16:14I do feel like a different person
16:16I've almost got split personality
16:19Bontempelli
16:20The captain
16:22The finisher
16:23Oh, there's nothing this man can't do
16:26Marcus, Bond, and Pally
16:27He's the Bond
16:29Bontempelli wipes his kick
16:31The Bond is like some kind of Marvel superhero
16:34It's the hair
16:35It's the facial structure
16:37Look at that friend
16:38Marcus, Bond, and Pally
16:40For me, he's a unicorn
16:41He's tall
16:42He's athletic
16:42He's highly skilled
16:43And has leadership qualities
16:45That a lot of players don't possess
16:47Oh, this is so going to be played
16:49He's 12 years into his footballing career
16:52And he'll be the best player in the AFL
16:54And has been for a long time
17:03When people ask me about dealing with the pressure and the expectation
17:07Funnily enough, I'd look at myself as the kid who'd underachieved
17:10Or maybe hadn't quite yet reached his potential
17:13At two, Marcus Bontempelli
17:17I feel like all the good things you've either done
17:20Or that have happened to you
17:21Have either been because of different circumstances
17:23You know, whether it's been luck
17:25I'm lucky that earlier in my career
17:27I had some early success
17:28With winning the premiership in 2016
17:3120 at the time
17:32For me, it was sort of like
17:33Oh, how good is this?
17:34Like, I won a flag
17:35Unbelievable
17:37I mean, winning the next premiership
17:39Has been on my mind
17:40For the best part of the last five years
17:47Brisbane and the Western Bulldogs tonight
17:49It's a huge Friday night clash
17:52Huge away game here for the Dogs
17:56Just sitting outside
17:57The eight
17:58They would love to find a way to snatch this
18:01And we are away
18:06The Dogs defence haven't been set
18:08You can see there how scattered they are
18:15In the games where teams have gotten the better of us
18:17They've probably just been a bit tougher in the contest
18:21Brisbane on fire
18:23We're the ones that sort of go to ground
18:25They keep their feet
18:26And what a moment
18:27What an opportunity they squander
18:29When the intensity goes up
18:31I don't reckon we do things well enough
18:38That's now for the Western Bulldogs
18:40Eight losses this season
18:41To sides in the top eight
18:45We've struggled to consistently perform
18:47At a really high standard
18:49For a whole sort of season
18:51In a period of time
18:53You know, on the brink of 30
18:55And as I start to get older
18:57Closer to the end than I am to the start
18:58Legacy's important
19:00I can't afford to wait
19:04Following the Brisbane loss
19:06If you're Marcus Bontempelli
19:07You're thinking
19:08In the back end of my career
19:10Are we going to be a serious contender?
19:14Missing finals
19:15It'll feel like another season wasted
19:18For Marcus Bontempelli
19:19Maybe
19:20That's a key reason why
19:21The contract decision's been pushed down the road
19:24Marcus Bontempelli says
19:25Signing a new contract
19:26Is in front of mind
19:28As he enters the last year
19:29Of his four year deal
19:32Here we go lads
19:35Stay out there
19:36Stay out there
19:37At this stage
19:38He hasn't put pen to paper
19:39When are we expecting that to happen?
19:41It's just such an intriguing situation
19:43Tim
19:43Because conversations haven't begun yet
19:45To extend him
19:46The media has been
19:48Just fascinated
19:49That Marcus
19:50Is the best player in the game
19:52And he still hasn't signed
19:53One more straight out
19:54One more straight out
19:55Nice
19:56Well taken
19:57Who hasn't started
19:58The Bontempelli camp
19:59Or the dogs
19:59Couldn't be the dogs
20:00No no the dogs are keen to start
20:02It's up to
20:02Bontempelli's manager
20:04Tom Petraro
20:05To reach out
20:05It would be
20:06The biggest
20:07Player to move
20:09How the transaction
20:11Would look
20:11We'd break records
20:14Oh yes
20:15It's on straight away
20:17Lobby
20:17You've just got to be ready
20:18It's not good enough
20:19Is it Arch?
20:21It's not good enough that
20:23When he's ready
20:24We'll talk about it
20:28You know
20:29I've played my whole career
20:30250 odd games
20:32That's like half your life
20:34Which is a long time
20:35To spend in one place
20:37Mentally and emotionally
20:38Get harder and harder
20:39To find new ways
20:40To invigorate yourself
20:42To go back to the trough
20:46I would assume
20:47If Marcus
20:48Looked at the club
20:49And understood
20:51That his next premiership
20:53Wouldn't be coming from
20:54That side
20:55That you would have to
20:56Genuinely ask yourself
20:58Am I better
20:59Off elsewhere?
21:11Hey Joel
21:11How are you mate?
21:12Can I please get me
21:14Normal porridge please
21:15To take away?
21:16Thanks mate
21:16I'm going to go make a coffee
21:17And I'll be around
21:21You are only in the game
21:22For a short time
21:23I mean that you've still
21:25Got to process
21:25What your life looks like
21:26After football
21:27So we purchased
21:28The coffee shop
21:29What are you mates?
21:30How are you?
21:31What are you after?
21:32Some takeaway
21:32Or what do you normally have?
21:33What's your coffee
21:34Small almond latte is it?
21:37Yeah
21:37There you go Stu
21:38All good mate
21:39I just thought it was
21:40A great opportunity
21:41To invest in
21:43You know potentially
21:44But then secondly
21:44To explore
21:45My own ideas
21:46And creativity
21:47In a business sense
21:50Oh here he is
21:51How are you mates?
21:52I'm good
21:52How are you?
21:53What's that?
21:54What's that?
21:56I grew up
21:56Family of six
21:57Three sisters
21:58Probably bullied
21:59And pushed around a bit
22:00And dominated
22:01If there was any
22:02Sense of arrogance
22:03Or confidence
22:04Starting to see it in
22:05They were pretty
22:05Quick to squash it
22:07Which I lean into
22:09As a way to sort of
22:10Drive you a little bit more
22:12Rather than
22:13Get a bit complacent
22:14There Archie
22:14See you mate
22:15You too
22:16Let's rock and roll
22:24The next game
22:25I've got the Giants
22:27And they're a bit of
22:27An old foe
22:28The Giants
22:28You know
22:29It is one headache
22:30To have to think about
22:31When Toby Green's
22:31The new opposition team
22:32And there's always
22:33Been something
22:34That has boiled over
22:35In games
22:36Between us
22:37And the Giants
22:38So it's learned
22:39In the calendar
22:40You want to win
22:41You know
22:42Certainly it is
22:42For me anyway
22:45For the best part
22:46Of ten years
22:47The Giants
22:48And the Dogs
22:49Have absolutely
22:50Hated each other
22:57There's certainly
22:58No love lost
22:59Between those two
23:00It's one of the
23:01Biggest rivalries
23:02In the game
23:03Goodness gracious me
23:08Lots of fun
23:09League has been
23:09Targeted all day
23:11Green
23:12Grabs bond
23:13By the hair
23:13And slams his head
23:14Into the ground
23:17The rivalry
23:18Explore
23:21There have been a few things
23:22Sort of leading up to that
23:23Marcus
23:24Dump tackled
23:25Director Lidio
23:26And then I just
23:28Wasn't happy with that
23:29So he decided
23:30To pull his hair
23:33I was trying to
23:34Set a bit of an example
23:35As well
23:35And be physical
23:36At different points
23:37Which
23:37It had boiled over
23:38Into another moment
23:39Where everyone
23:40Ended up on top
23:41Of each other
23:41And with Toby
23:42He's probably keen
23:43To just get away
23:44With a little bit more
23:46He probably wasn't happy
23:47With me pulling his hair
23:49But I couldn't really care
23:51These days
23:52At any point
23:53Was it personal with Toby?
23:55Yeah
23:55Yeah
23:57Seemed to always cross paths
23:59And butt heads
23:59So it's just one of those things
24:01That you do take personally
24:03Please welcome your host
24:05I actually observed
24:06The year we went
24:06To the All Australian Awards
24:08And I saw Bontempelli
24:10Move his name tag
24:11So that he didn't have
24:12To sit next to Toby Green
24:15Now or later
24:16They're having
24:16An All Australian photo
24:17On stage
24:18And there's a lot
24:19Of camaraderie
24:20And Bontempelli
24:21And Toby Green
24:22Are standing next to each other
24:23They hardly say
24:24Anything to each other
24:25And don't really
24:26Look at each other
24:29No we're not mates
24:31Do you guys get along?
24:33Oh I've never
24:34Had a beer with him
24:46What a way to kick off
24:4821
24:49The 9th place dogs
24:51Precarious ground
24:52Win and stay alive
24:53Lose and fall off the cliff
24:54The 6th place giants
24:56They're just outside the 4
24:57But any missteps
24:59And they're in trouble
25:03Hi mate
25:04How are you?
25:08Last Friday night
25:10Toby chose to push
25:11His forearm
25:12Into the back of Isaac
25:13Heaney's head
25:15The Giants have accepted
25:16His one match ban
25:17For striking
25:23He's the one guy
25:25That he probably
25:25Couldn't afford
25:26To lose
25:32And now they're going
25:33To be without
25:33Their captain
25:34In a very important game
25:40Our record against
25:41The Bulldogs
25:41Is not great
25:43The last time
25:44We beat them
25:44Was two years ago
25:46Toby kicked
25:46Four goals in a quarter
25:47And was really
25:48The difference
25:49Between us
25:49Winning and losing
25:52Both teams
25:52Trying to make finals
25:54And also being captain
25:55You've got to lead
25:56By example
25:57So it was
25:59Disappointing
26:00Toby in trouble again
26:03Probably not the first time
26:04He's sort of
26:05Yeah
26:05An elbow's ended up
26:06Where it shouldn't
26:09He's actually
26:09Performed quite well
26:10Against the Bulldogs
26:11In the past
26:12So if you don't have
26:13To worry about that
26:14That's a good thing
26:21All of that
26:22Contest impression
26:23Let's fucking go
26:23Come on
26:24Dogs looking to survive
26:27Giants looking
26:28For a top four finish
26:35Here's Bokton Pelly
26:39Beautiful to Darcy
26:41Will he get the three
26:42Nobody recovers
26:43And yes he got boot on ball
26:45And yes he kicks
26:46The first goal of the game
26:50Contepelli
26:51Pre-attack
26:53Slides it long
26:54Norton at the back
26:55Setting himself
26:58For his third goal
27:00You bet
27:07The Doggies are on fire
27:09And the Giants
27:10Can't do anything
27:10To stop it
27:11How much are they missing
27:13A player like Toby Green
27:14Right now
27:19The hardest place
27:20For an AFL player
27:21Or a sportsman
27:21To be generally
27:22Sitting in the stands
27:23Watching
27:23Because you're helpless
27:25And usually
27:26You're sitting there
27:27Because you're injured
27:28When you're sitting there
27:29Because of your own mistake
27:30That's even harder
27:31Back to Bontem Pelly
27:35Wow
27:36Oh my god
27:39He made that look so easy
27:42Richards
27:42Towards Darcy
27:44Might just bounce on through
27:45It does
27:48This is a massive 88 point win
27:51To the Western Bulldogs
27:53Over one of the highly fancy teams
27:55In the competition
28:0088 fucking points
28:07For the Western Bulldogs
28:08Winning convincingly
28:10Against the top 8 side
28:11That is
28:12That's gold
28:13It's the difference between
28:15Making finals
28:15Or packing your bags
28:23And then a devastating loss
28:26For the Giants
28:28One horror performance
28:29Can certainly mean
28:30That you are
28:31No longer spoken about
28:32As premiership contenders
28:33You are now back
28:35With the pack
28:50What's that?
28:53Hello
28:53What's going on?
28:55The suspension
28:56Was more than fair
28:58Probably letting some anger
29:00Or frustration out
29:01With maybe missing a tackle
29:03And it just happened to be Isaac
29:05Like I wish I sort of
29:06Had that time back
29:07Hello
29:08My beautiful girl
29:10I love you
29:11Come here bud
29:12Come here bud
29:13Come here bud
29:17I know my beautiful girl
29:21What's happening?
29:24Oh really?
29:25Is that right?
29:28Hi mum
29:29Oh she's been a rock
29:30Throughout my life
29:34She's been amazing
29:35With Ola as well
29:36Very clever
29:37Hey
29:37What did you have to her?
29:40Um
29:40Not much
29:42Went to the gym
29:46She's not happy
29:47About the suspension
29:48Because the backlash
29:49That I cop
29:50The media
29:52What they say
29:52She
29:53Takes it all in
29:56How's Georgia?
29:58Same
30:05I don't think
30:06You'd like that
30:07Are you?
30:11Growing up
30:11She's had a huge role
30:13In my life
30:17She's had to be
30:18Hard and stern
30:20Because with my dad
30:22I could do whatever
30:23I wanted with him
30:23As a kid
30:25That probably wasn't
30:26Great for me
30:26Being a risk taker
30:28And was a recipe
30:29For trouble
30:32The last
30:33You know
30:3310-15 years
30:35Drinking and alcohol
30:36And drugs
30:36Probably taken
30:37A fair
30:39Toll on his body
30:40And brain
30:40You know
30:41The way he functions
30:42Now
30:42Is not
30:42How he functioned
30:4320 years ago
30:45The father of
30:46GWS star
30:47Toby Green
30:48Is facing jail time
30:49Police allege
30:50That he headbutted
30:51One of their own
30:52Who was trying
30:53To kick him out
30:54Of the MCG
30:55After he was
30:55Allegedly found
30:56Drunk
30:57In one of the
30:58Bathrooms
31:00When we made
31:00The grand final
31:02They just lost
31:03To granny
31:04By a lot
31:04And
31:06Hadn't slept much
31:07And found out
31:08The next morning
31:09At 6am
31:10And there's
31:10Reporters out
31:11The front
31:12Yeah that was
31:14That was hard
31:17Three or four years
31:18Before that
31:18I think
31:19I knocked him out
31:21In the change rooms
31:22Because he was drunk
31:22And carrying on
31:23So
31:25Tell me through that
31:26What happened
31:28He's just like
31:29He came into the change
31:30He's pretty loud
31:31And boisterous
31:32And he's extremely drunk
31:34And I was just embarrassed
31:35And I just told him
31:37To fuck off
31:37And yeah
31:38Punch him
31:38So
31:40Yeah it's hard
31:41Like the reason
31:42I love footies
31:43Because of him
31:44And got into it
31:46That's what I'll
31:46Take with me
31:47And then you learn
31:48Your lessons
31:48From some things
31:49That he's done
31:49That you can't do
32:10Round 24
32:11One to go boys
32:12One to go
32:13Are you excited?
32:13One to go
32:13Absolutely I'm excited
32:14There's so much to play for
32:15This is it
32:16You've got to get yourself
32:17Into the eight
32:17You've got to qualify
32:18And then who knows
32:19From there
32:20All balls go in the air
32:24We're in a pretty precarious situation
32:27The minute we were sitting
32:28Outside the top eight
32:31I guess you're intrigued
32:32To see
32:32Alright
32:32How are we going to
32:33You know
32:34How are we going to deal
32:34With this current challenge
32:35And more or less
32:36Intrigued to see
32:37Which of the guys
32:37That can really
32:39I guess step up
32:40You know
32:40Step up to the plate
32:43For us and Frio
32:44Playing for our season really
32:46That's the position
32:47We find ourselves in
32:48And everything's on the line
32:50It's a tough position to be in
32:52You know
32:52There's pressure on
32:53If we don't win this game
32:54You're into an off season
32:56So yeah
32:57It's a big week
32:59Fremantle
33:00And they're playing
33:01Some very good football
33:02So we've got to expect that
33:03And be ready for that
33:04You know
33:04As a whole
33:12It always comes down
33:13To the last round
33:14Who's going to make it
33:15So
33:16Fremantle
33:16Western Bulldogs
33:17Who's going to get there
33:18Who's able to capitalise
33:20On a whole year's
33:21Worth of work
33:22To make up the eight
33:28Well pretty simply put
33:29The Bulldogs
33:31They win
33:32They're in the top eight
33:33They're in a final series
33:35They lose
33:36They're out
33:38A season definer
33:40This does feel like a final
33:44Let's go
33:46Dry kicks a goal
33:48And he's got three
33:49Fremantle
33:50Pouncing
33:51On every opportunity
33:53Dogs are fighting
33:55For their lives at Marvel
33:56Antony
33:58Walter Pellei on his left
34:00Does he go himself?
34:01He does
34:03Sublime
34:05Dogs
34:05Hanging on
34:07Sponsor Pellei again
34:09Season on the line
34:10Back in touch
34:11The Dogs
34:12Got to be perfect
34:14From here
34:15Pleasure
34:16Left foot snap
34:17Goal
34:1915 points
34:20Two and a half
34:21To play
34:22Is it enough time for the Dogs
34:23You lose momentum here
34:25And you'll let it get out of control
34:27Your season's over
34:28That's your fucking ball
34:30Quick handball to Bolton
34:32Spills the ball
34:33Long
34:34Slides out
34:51Initially after the game
34:52The raw emotion is
34:54Coulda, woulda, shoulda
34:55Almost
34:55Like we should have been in there
34:57In my opinion
34:59We gave ourselves a look
35:01But left
35:01Too little
35:02Too late
35:11Full dogs are now out
35:13They missed the opportunity
35:14To play finals
35:16And for 2025
35:19That's all she wrote
35:22Righto lads
35:22Head straight in
35:25You boys come as well
35:26If you want
35:28Yeah I think overall
35:30You know
35:30Like everyone will have
35:31Different ways of
35:32Processing and dealing
35:33And you know
35:35There'll be frustration
35:35There'll be disappointment
35:36But yeah
35:37You've got to be honest
35:38You know
35:39Another probably
35:40Couple of goal margin
35:40We feel like
35:41Oh
35:41We're not that far away
35:43So we've got to
35:44Think of this as just a chapter
35:45As opposed to
35:46Like the end of the book
35:50It's clearly a big decision
35:52For your life
35:52And your future
35:53The players in the game
35:54Are getting more fluid
35:55With moving
35:56And open to moving
35:58Like I think
35:59The loyalty aspect
36:00Of football
36:02Is it diminishing
36:03Maybe a little bit
36:05And could that be
36:06Good for the game
36:07Maybe
36:14You know mate
36:16I might have to get it after
36:18Are you going in here
36:19I'll see you up there
36:20In a bit
36:20Alright
36:20Thanks boss
36:22Alright
36:23We'll get this going
36:23Sure
36:25Well Marcus
36:25You've put the pen to paper
36:27How much for relief
36:28Is that that it's all
36:28Done and dusted
36:30It's nice now
36:31That especially with all
36:33That's been sort of
36:33Going on in my life
36:34To obviously get to it
36:36Get it sorted
36:37With the football club
36:38The Bulldogs
36:38Has always sort of been my home
36:39And obviously I'm hugely grateful
36:41And obviously I'm hugely grateful
37:09To be going on
37:09Is holding up a premiership cut for him
37:15He often talks about how he's grown up at the Bulldogs
37:18And it's an extension of his family
37:21But through that period
37:23He's had highs and lows
37:24But he's grown
37:25And he's developed
37:26And in his eyes
37:27He owes that to the club
37:30It's the place
37:31Really that I've spent
37:32Most of my adult years
37:34And then you walk in the door
37:36You feel connected to the place
37:37To the suburb
37:38You know
37:38To the people
37:39To all the things
37:40You've been a part of
37:41And achieved
37:42But also the things that
37:44You know
37:44You haven't achieved
37:46Still feel like
37:47There's more to do
37:59First elimination final
38:00Saturday
38:00It's going to be awesome
38:01Win or go home
38:02Is the situation here
38:04Giants, Hawks
38:05One of these team seasons
38:06Have to come to an end
38:08One arm, one arm
38:09Toby Green
38:10We know he's one of the all time greats
38:12But he's still
38:13Suffering from this white line fever
38:14Which is costing his club
38:16It is
38:17And that's a fact
38:17That is true
38:18It's frustrating
38:19But it's not going to change now
38:27In the final
38:28I certainly wind myself up
38:29Once I'm in that
38:31Sort of competitive mode
38:32Probably not controlling
38:34My emotions as well
38:35As what I should
38:36So I've got to
38:37Yeah, be aware of it
38:39And make sure it doesn't happen
38:55In those big games
38:56Big moments
38:57Finals
38:58I'm just nervous
39:00He just has this white line fever
39:02That sometimes no one can control
39:05I'm just not sure why we're 15 years in
39:08And you're still having brain farts
39:12Before that game you said not to get in trouble
39:14So I didn't listen
39:15No, you did not listen
39:17No, you did not listen
39:17Yeah, no
39:18I shouldn't have got suspended
39:22To be honest
39:23It does get tiring
39:24Defending him
39:26It's acceptable if you're younger
39:28And not experienced
39:29But if you've been playing for 15 years
39:32You've got to have a bit more self-control
39:35Lessons learnt
39:36Is it?
39:37Yeah, it was a bad game that one
39:38But that's fine
39:39But it's not fine
39:40Because all you do is get suspended and fines
39:42That won't happen again
39:44Especially with big games coming up
39:46Where there's a lot more on the line
39:47Okay
39:48When you go to forearm someone's head
39:51You didn't actually think about all the DMs
39:53Come flooding back
39:54All the media
39:55Your parents are going to get dragged through the mud
39:57Yeah, I don't care about them
39:58As much as they affect everyone else
40:01Yeah, but no one will intimidate you
40:03No one will scare you
40:04I was
40:07Yeah, you just
40:09Know more of it
40:10I'm sick of it
40:11We're sick of it
40:11I know
40:16There you have it
40:18Engie Stadium
40:19For seeing
40:20For this amazing final
40:23Hawthorne
40:24And the Giants
40:28Come on
40:31In these big games
40:33Toby can go
40:35One of two ways
40:38Brilliant performance
40:39Match winner
40:40Stands out
40:41As the best player on the ground
40:42Or
40:43Does he become the villain
40:45And do something stupid
40:47That will be
40:48The challenge
40:49I think for Toby
40:53I actually don't think
40:54I can watch
40:54I can watch for a few guys
40:55See you
40:59Just channel your aggression
41:00Yeah
41:01Make it productive
41:04Firewalls is all amplified
41:05And you've sort of
41:06Got a few more emotions
41:08Going through you
41:09Than what you usually do
41:11During the season
41:12This first quarter
41:13Is going to be
41:14Fucking electric
41:15Good luck
41:15Trying to get a chain
41:16Of handballs through us
41:17It's going to be on
41:17I can't wait boys
41:19Hey
41:19And we're going to make
41:19Mistakes with the footy
41:20Without it
41:21Who gives a fuck
41:22Just respond next contest
41:23Like we have all year
41:24Let's go
41:26We've been in this situation
41:27For the last few weeks
41:28We have to win
41:29In order to progress
41:31We are ready to go
41:35Hawks are launching again
41:37Clever finisher
41:40Hawks are rolling
41:41Oh my god
41:44Within the space of two minutes
41:46They pretty much kicked
41:47Four goals on us
41:49Hawking just flipping
41:51The elimination final
41:52On its head
41:59Get a goal
42:00Come on
42:01I'm just on edge
42:02I'm waiting
42:04Almost for something
42:05To happen
42:05But you just
42:06Hope and pray
42:08That he's not going
42:09To do something
42:11Rick, Rick, Rick
42:15Get off
42:33We're just a bit panicky
42:34It's alright
42:35We know what to do
42:36We haven't got it going yet
42:37We fucking will
42:38Edge, get closer
42:58I think a bit of a
42:59Trademark of our team
43:00Is we'll play to the last minute
43:02And we'll keep fighting
43:03And we can score quickly
43:04And that's exactly what happened
43:14Yes, yes
43:16Yes, yes
43:17Yes, yes
43:17Yes, yes
43:23Green offers to hit up
43:24At halfback
43:24Oh, please
43:28Dada
43:29Go, Dada
43:33Toby Green
43:34Stepping to the plate
43:35To put them in front
43:41Fuck, Toby
43:42Fucking shit
43:50As soon as I marked it
43:51I thought this is a goal
43:52So it wasn't like nerves
43:53Or anything
43:54I just kicked it horribly
43:56Things starting to go
43:57The Hawks way
44:00This way
44:01It's all
44:01And this thing
44:02The Hawks
44:02Go to the front
44:04And a throw
44:05To a semi-final
44:06In our way
44:09Fuck
44:18People talk about
44:19You know
44:20There's growth in your game
44:21And all that type of stuff
44:22Like I don't give a fuck
44:25You either win a premiership
44:27Or you may as well finish last
44:29There's no in between for me
44:30I know it's too simplistic
44:32To say like
44:33That's a wasted year
44:34But it just feels like
44:35A waste of a year
44:37Yeah
44:43Incredibly disappointing
44:44Isn't it
44:44Mark
44:46They're a really good team
44:50Just felt like
44:51We were a better team
44:53But history will say
44:54We weren't
44:57Like
44:58Been in the last four finals
45:00In winning positions
45:01And
45:02Haven't got it done
45:03So
45:03Bit of local
45:04Couple stitches
45:05And that way
45:07You know
45:08It ain't going to come apart
45:09Until the stitches come out
45:10For a week
45:10Yeah I don't care
45:11You sure
45:12Yeah
45:16No guarantees
45:17You know
45:17Like footy's bloody hard
45:18And
45:19Yeah
45:19That's why
45:20You've got to take
45:21Opportunities when you get them
45:22And
45:23That's why
45:23You're bloody flat
45:24When you walk off the ground
45:31Do you want to go play
45:33You can go play
45:37There's daddy
45:38Look
45:38You want to go to daddy
45:39Make daddy feel better
45:42Come on
45:43Hold on
45:49Daddy was fucking shit tonight
45:52Sorry
45:54You know
45:55That exterior
45:56He's tough
45:56And strong
45:57All that
45:58But
45:59This little girl
46:00Fully breaks him down
46:02He's soft as
46:03Anything with her
46:04Yeah
46:09Are you a good dad
46:12Yeah
46:13I'd like to think so
46:13Yeah
46:14I think
46:14I'm a pretty good dad
46:18At the moment
46:18Yeah
46:18I'd like to think
46:19I will be forever
46:22He's not this idiot
46:24That everyone thinks he is
46:26I mean he's had his moments
46:27Of being an idiot
46:28I'm not saying he's an angel
46:29All the time
46:30But um
46:31He's so committed to the sport
46:33And if everyone could see
46:34How he goes about it
46:36Everyone would think differently
46:38About him
46:38But you know
46:39I wouldn't put money on it
46:40That he never will get suspended again
46:42And I definitely wouldn't put money on it
46:44That he won't get a fine again
46:45So
46:47We'll be still forking out money
46:48Um
46:50It's just kind of what comes with him
46:53Yeah I won't
46:54I won't get suspended again
46:55100%
46:56Yeah
46:56I'm done
46:57Yep
46:58Just had to get that
46:59Yep
46:59Last one the other way
47:00And now I'm done
47:09The GWS Hawthorne game
47:11Wasn't the only
47:13Cutthroat final
47:14Going on
47:14That day
47:15Over in Perth
47:17Fremantle
47:18We're getting ready to host
47:19The Gold Coast Suns
47:20Fremantle
47:22Nat Fyfe's one of
47:23The greatest ever midfielders
47:25The game has seen
47:26He's a two-time
47:27Brownlow medalist
47:28He's a superstar
47:30And he's at the end of his career
47:32He's right at the end
47:33And he's trying to get
47:36One last crack
47:37At a premiership
47:40But little did we know
47:41The extraordinary lengths
47:43That Nat Fyfe had to go through
47:46Just to get up with a guy
48:13Just to get up with a guy
48:15That's a fan of his beautiful
48:18And he's trying to commit en срав
48:22He's
48:22Don't
48:23Look at
48:23He's
48:24Don't
