Podcast Inside The Kennel: New Player Interviews!

[SPower]

Just wondering Matt you did mention a possible catch up with Bernie Q.
Thanks for all the work you do for us fans.

 

[King Harold]

Played a bit of Juniors against Teddy J, don’t remember him as outstanding back then ???
EJ would watch ,keeping as far away from anyone else as he could.

But what a career he had !
highly skilled and important player for us.
Bloody tragedy his career was cut short with his peak still in front of him.

 

[Inside The Kennel]

At age 24, he had possibly another 8-10 seasons in him. Could have played over 300 games. An absolute tragedy.

I've never heard him confirm this, but according to Drew Morphett in the 90s during one of our matches, he mentioned Southern doesn't like being called Danny. He referred to him as Daniel.

Any truth to that?

It sounds weird calling him 'Daniel'.

That's correct - he was never called Danny in his youth and that was something the footy public adopted. He prefers Dan or Daniel. I will be on my best behaviour when I interview him!!

Cheers DueWest! Do you have a favorite episode so far? And who is on your wishlist for me to get on the show?...

 

[Inside The Kennel]

I have Shane O'Sullivan on next week - he was the List Manager in the 1980s, responsible for some of the following: Royal, Wallis, Foster, McLean, Hardie, Purser, Sewell, Daniels, Bahagiar, Maylin, Malthouse...! And after his stint at the Brisbane Lions, setting up their list, he returned to help his brother Gary O'Sullivan who was working at the Club and was responsible for getting the trade of Adrian Campbell to Melbourne for...wait for it...Luke Beveridge! The dominos of our history were set in motion. I look forward to interviewing Shane - does anyone have any Qs to probe?...

 

[Inside The Kennel]

Dermott Brereton dedicates this entire interview to discusssing his rivalry with Footscray! Enjoy.

Brilliant Matt,

Lovit,Lovit ( hope u don’t mind me using your catch cry )

 

[X_box_X]

Well done, Matt.

One question I've always wanted Dermie to be asked is whether he remembers being credited with a goal for a behind he kicked in round 12, 1995 when we drew with Collingwood.

If the goal umpire wasn't bewildered, perhaps that would have been the 5th time we beat Dermie in his career.

Haha, I do say that a lot! Glad you enjoyed it King! How good is Dermie - wish he had played for us!!

I wish I'd known that - I would have certainly asked him. Thaks X-Box - Dermie will hopefuly be joining Dougie and I for a Finals preview later this year if all goes to plan, so I will investigate this for you!

I remember that match. It was at Waverley. We were 35 points up and Collingwood had the last 10 scoring shots (5.5) to draw the match.

Yep, I was listening to it all unfold. That's exactly how I remember it too.

The combined result of all three matches that Saturday afternoon was nine points. Carlton played Geelong in a cracker, and three months later they played in the Grand Final which was anything but.

FWIW, we lost our previous six matches in 1995 prior to that draw against Collingwood. After the draw, we won five consecutive matches which included a huge upset win at the WACCA against the reigning premiers.
