Breakfast with Gary and Tim. The Good Oil for Cobra Mistate. Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. Grown, harvested and first cold-pressed in northern Victoria.
Well this time last week there was tension everywhere. Wis called the Fremantle people cowards. Sausage fired up, back and forth messages. I was stuck awkwardly in between the two of them. And now he's here. The man from Western Australia with the Fremantle Footy Club in the grand final, Tim Sausage Gossage, the end man in Perth, is in the studio with us. Okay, Sausage. Jazz Wisp, good to be here. Good to see you. Good to be here. Is it safe to be here? Wisp turned his back on you.
Well you're a
former West Coast Eagle and everyone thought you've turned on your own state and But
did people not listen to what I said? I said that they need to embrace the pressure of being the number one team going into that game. Surely you thought that they were unbeatable going into that game.
Exactly. So you and I are singing out of the same hymn book. Yeah, I think there was tongue firmly planted in the chew. I think you you gave off the impression, and and that's been the messaging that we've got from a lot of our listeners.
I want
names. How many? Well Ray, Ray from Bunbury. He's after you. He's after you. Mouse. Mouse. Mouse it up.
Why do the Dockers need to ‘embrace the pressure’ of being number one before the Grand Final?
Mouse it up.
Mouse wants a piece of you. Mouse is on my side. Mouse wouldn't know where SEM was. Let's not look back. Let's look forward though, Sos. Let's look forward. Because you're you're not a free male supporter, are you? No, I'm a significant. But you're a Western Australian footy supporter. 100%. Put paint the picture for us for this football side, this expansion club side. Adelaide won quickly, Port Adelaide won a premiership quickly. Um haven't had that level of success yet for the they've been in a grand final, now they're in their second. The town must be beside itself.
It's incredible. And we talk about build up and and I I can't even remember what n ninety two, ninety four, West Coast years, those those formative years. They won quickly. They did. Uh twenty eighteen again. So all this and s all this sort of chip on shoulders just got bigger and bigger and bigger for free. Yeah. A hundred percent of house. They need to win this one. Right. They need to win it and then we can all breathe and we can all move on and we can all they can d they can be the kings of the town. Right. They they have they struggle and rightfully so, they struggle with the success of West Coast and they get angry towards West Coast but they're dining out on West Coast not being very good at the moment.
Right. But you go into West Coast's uh unbelievable uh home quarters out there at MRP and there's four premiership cups as you walk in the door.
How is the city of Fremantle reacting to the Dockers’ Grand Final run?
Right, right. You go to Fremantle and there's nothing there. But Fremantle fans ha have a real issue with that. They do. They have bullied 'em around a bit though, have they? They have over the time they have. They have over the time they have. Hundred percent they have, and they've got a bit of their own back right now. And And now's their time. Now's their time to get one and it might be the first of several. What was it like when they got donkey licked in that first final? Doom and gloom. Did they give it up? Um The even now I c I caught a plane over last well, I got here this morning, and and let me say that everyone on the plane, like, oh, you'll be right. I'm trying to build 'em up. They are so cautious.
The fan base because they've been they've they've had this before.
Yeah. You
know, even if a had the odd finals campaign last year. When they lost to Hawthorne, the place was a morgue Perth. Yet Last Saturday morning after winning on you know, they the unwinnable game, which at what it was at one stage, they were never gonna win when they were twenty eight points down, I can tell you Saturday morning there the mood, whether you were a Dockers fan, Eagles fan, footy fan, sports fan, every cafe the place was buzzing. It was enormous and it has been since.
And it's building and building and building. So if you can't get over here and the flights, we know how prohibitive they are, and then you've got to get a ticket.
