there's your six all Australian Defenders we are privileged to be joined by Jacob weering in his first all Australian Blazer and danne Zoro in his second we'll start with you Jacob congratulations five times you've been nominated first time you've woron the jacket how does it feel yeah I said to you before it's an honor and a privilege obviously um stok to be here among some unbelievable players I was talking to a few boys back there it's um yeah it's uh it's obviously great I can't believe it I was talking to Nathan and he said I said what was one of the deciding factors and he said he is the best at one-on On's in the competition so defensive wise this man only loses 11% of oneon-one so when the ball is coming down there and you're next to one of the big boys what are you working on what are you hoping to do yeah I'm probably a little bit different uh I'm not you know I'm not someone that kicks six goals a game or has 30 and kicks two like cripper but um I do like punching the ball and that's my job so uh yeah it's just one of those things it's a it's a craft thoroughly enjoy working on it um had some great mentors in the past uh in Liam Jones uh who'll be playing his first final as well next week which is very exciting but um just one of those things I like doing and um feel as though defending is is a selfless role on the team and um it's a team sport so looking forward to next week against Dane and the rest of them and hopefully we can get a job done would you like to have 30 in Kick two I'll leave that to uh c m um you've been at carton for a long period of time you've been a wonderful servant you've been there when it's been a really tough time time for the footy club and you're used to there now playing big games finals we saw what happened last year and we saw what happened in Brisbane what's the excitement level around the club the way you got there people are talking about at the end of the day 10 teams can't win the Premiership you're one of the eight that can yeah it's been a you know an interesting Journey for us uh I guess halfway through the year we'll probably t as one of those top two teams and uh whether it's through injury or you know inconsistency in performance um it's probably one thing that we've really wanted to be as a club and at times we've fallen short of that and and we'll certainly admit that but sometimes the the footy gods look after you we've got a massive opportunity to to go out to Brisbane and and hopefully do a job but um yeah we'll take it week by week for now and there's a you know a motivated group uh and a few boys hopefully coming back and uh yeah we'll see what we can do a quick question from both of you before I let you go what's your favorite thing about footy what's your favorite thing when you walk in through the doors at princess Park and and for you up in Brisbane I'll go M you're right uh no worries mate yeah I mean it's it's probably something pretty similar to be honest I think back to the hard times as you spoke about before but uh also the good times I mean the final last year against Melbourne is is something that probably Rings true with a lot of carton fans and and obviously the club itself but um sort of the momentum we gained off that the excitement within the club and and out of it um is something that I'll remember forever and um yeah it's those things as as Dane said that we'll probably remember once uh once it's all done we clubs are both liking to have you congratulations on your second Blazer your first Blazer no doubt one of many to come and more importantly best of luck uh next weekend the entire footy world will be watching uh Dane Zoro and Jacob weering
