But Kenzie, he doesn't have to worry about this, he's absolutely flying his football club, although they need to bounce back and they've got a chance to against one of the best in the country in Fremantle, who are absolutely flyable. We saw Hawthorne here. Ah, they're very good. This is a massive game of football. It's going to be a beauty. It is. And it is going down at Utah Stadium where they've won four, I think, Cams won four of his five trips down there. I just... Cam, appreciate your time. Thanks, guys. Yeah. Thanks for having me on. Mate, we saw you two weeks ago over here against West Coast. We blame you for getting rid of Adam Simpson new blokes. Do you feel bad at all, Ken? I don't think so, but yeah, it was good to come over there, it was my first trip to Perth. So, yeah, really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's a big supporter base over there and it was awesome to play in front of all the fans. Yeah, it was 50,000 and you did a great job. It was exciting to watch. We loved the ball movement. We loved the run and stun type style. But then we expected much the same against Geelong. Can you just shed some light on actually what took place down at Geelong against the cats? Yeah, it was obviously pretty disappointing on trip down there. Like we went down, knowing that a great side and play that ground unbelievably well, but we thought we could match it with them, but yeah, I think sort of the pressure got to us a bit and we started slow and just couldn't regain our flare and out the way we play. And yeah, eventually too long, we're just too good. You're going to have games on that, aren't you? And we forget because you're playing so well, Cam, like the side's going so strong and probably ahead of where anyone expected you to be, you're going to have, you're still a very, very young side. You're going to have off days and you're going to have days where it doesn't come together for you. How do you rebound this week? How's the week been so far about rebounding from a disappointing game to taking on one of the best teams in the comp? Yeah, the week's been really good. We obviously reviewed the game pretty thoroughly and look for lessons to learn in terms of handling that pressure and executing when you're playing that quality opposition in those environments. So we did that early in the week and then after that, we've sort of just tried to put it out of our mind and just move on to Fremantle this week because that's obviously a huge game and one we really need to win and put our best foot forward. Yeah, massive game. You've never played free, oh, so it's another, you talked about the new experience for your last week coming to Perth that you personally have never played against the Fremantle Football Club. Do you look at a player in the opposition? Do you have any idea already on a Wednesday, who you might be around? You never really play on anyone, so to speak in these modern day, but who do you think you'll be near when you line up on the weekend? Yeah, I'm very excited, actually, they've obviously got quality players and I think they're quite similar to us in terms they're all quite young as well, so I think it'll be a great challenge. I think guys are like, you know, kind of throwing in the guys in the midfield and they're obviously very good players and yeah, I look forward to the challenge and I know all the other boys are as well. I tell you, there's a little man in your side and I'm not a little man fan, to be perfectly honest with me, I think they're just getting the way of the key forwards, but I tell you Dylan Moore, how good is he going, he's just absolutely pushing himself up into a great territory. Oh, he's a star, he's done an unbelievable year and I think it was, yeah, always just a matter of time for more, he's the hardest worker I've ever seen, yeah, from day one that I was there, I've been so noticeable how hard he works and how much he wants to improve on the training track so yeah, yeah, it's awesome to see him playing such good footy and getting all these accolades and attention from external media. All righty, it's a big day in news over here, so we're going to finish up with something a little lighter. How easy is that for him? It's been easy. He's made an easy type of guy, he just does want to dig deep down. Took the box and done the media this week, just wants to go and play footy on the weekend and he does. With the 6.0, stroke 7.0, so you've got some questions coming from Scotty Cummings here that you've got to answer a quick fire, think outside the square and pass is not acceptable. Are you ready for the challenge, Cam McKenzie? Yeah, I'm ready, Mr. Swear we find out about the human being, Cam McKenzie, name your favourite sport other than footy, favourite sport and athlete. Basketball and Steph Curry. Beauty. You open your own restaurant, what's the signature dish cam that's going to have him lining up out the door? A margarita pizza. Oh, OK. Now you're ready. Simple but effective. I like it. Are you a headphones man? Mate, what song gets you up and about? You're a bit flat, you need a pump up, what gets you going? A bit of Drake in a change room, poorly games, one that goes around. Yeah, the boys will find some Drake for you in a sec. Don't worry about that. Tell us something we don't know about one of your team mates. Hey, tell us something we don't know about one of your teammates. Oh, um. Tough one. Henry Hochtwaite hates vegetables. Henry Hochtwaite doesn't like veggies. Wow. That's not good for his health. He's done the count of all dive. He's done the count of all dive. He's done the count of all dive. Oh, he's done the count of all dive. He's done the count of all dive. He's done the count of all dive. And veggies, wow, that's not good for his health. He's done the count of all dive though. He'll be in good nick. Tell me about that. Hey, um. Do you have any secret talents, Cam? You can play footy. What else can you do? Oh. Um. I can still take a bit of French, but I'm losing it. Okay. Okay. Give us your best. My wife's a French interpreter. So give us something. Uh, both of you are my pal Cam. Oh, my daddy's a pop. Daddy's a dad. Daddy's a dad. Daddy's a dad. Daddy's just, you know, or of why. Don't you say something that you're, you're, you're, you're a sordid. Well, you're a sordid to welcome everyone to Paris for the Olympics. What's that? He's maybe we're a sordid to welcome everyone to Paris for the Olympics. Uh, you saw him play the P.K. Uh, the, uh, the avenue to the mold, uh, Paris. Yeah. Thank you. Don't bother. Don't bother. Don't do it. MacKenzie. Don't do it, brother. That was, that was a struggle actually. You're very good. I got it all. No, you've done beautifully. Well, I tell you, if you're out in the town, I'll just roll that accident. You'll, uh, go home empty. I'll tell you. Hey, um, what makes you, uh, way more angry than it should? Something a little that just really takes you off, mate. Um. Um, oh, uh, when, when I'm stuck in traffic, you know, I'm running light. I just get really frustrated and, um, I think I'm almost just going to be nervous and be anxious. I think that leads to anger. Yeah. Uh, Mitch, was it the other end? You can't do it, isn't it? Yeah. You'd like, you gotta get in big trouble, though. Wow. Yeah. One we've just added in, mate. There we go. I know I have a problem with, uh, Willie Neely guards of honor for people that are just, um, not for people, for achievements that probably aren't worthy. Um, from the opposite. Yeah. Cheeroffs are okay. Cam? Cheeroffs for, you know, two hundred, no worries. Two fifty, but what do you, what do you think the minimum requirements are for the opposition to offer up a guard of honor? True. Tariff or a guard of honor? A guard of honor from the opposition. So you'll be, but you're playing free man. What would it, what would have to take for someone at free man? What would have they had to have achieved for you to say, okay, I'll go over and line up and get out of honor of this bloke off the ground. Um, I reckon, I reckon the other team are looking for a hundred. Yeah. It's Mackenzie. What up, brother? You're the man. You're the man. Three hundred. There we go. It's a ground swell and it's happening. Yeah. Can you say, um, thanks for having us. Uh, well, thanks for having me on. And, um, we look forward to taking on free mantle in Tasmania in French, please. Awesome. Um. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Merci pour, uh, mauveauch. Uh. Uh. Uh, jaudy. Um, which is to be, uh, uh, translated the jaudy concert, free mantle, uh, at Tasmania. Yeah. Nice. We're here to start. Brilliant. We're here to start Mackenzie. You're our favorite. You're officially our favorite. Uh. And because of that, we're going to play some passion for you courtesy of Drake. Thanks for having me. Good luck on the weekend. Let's do more than thanks, mate. Thanks for having us. See you later. Cheers. Cheers, Ripper. Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. I was just like big advances. You got issues that I won't mention for now cause we're falling apart. Mm. Mm.
