Five-goal hero Cody Weightman spoke to Channel Seven after the game …
Q: How is your elbow? A: They could put it back on and then I was much better. A pleasure to play.
Q: Dislocation? A: I think so. Luckily he came back in.
Q: How did you feel? You’ve scored five goals, the game is on the balance sheet, but then to come back and contribute, attack and chase and you’ve made things difficult. A: I wasn’t so capable in the second half. I knew the GWS had a rotation below, so we had that advantage. I hope you run out again. I was more or less like rotation more than anything. Happy to do my part. And help others charge like Naughton.
Q: Could you sense how quickly (the game) moved back and forth? A: Yes, I was a cactus. Total speed. They are a fit team, GWS. We knew that. This could play into his hands. Fortunately, the boys were able to beat them and get the result.
Q: You want a high-scoring game, as a spectator. Do you enjoy this as a player? A: Absolutely. Toby Greene’s smiles also get a few. The turn is good for the forwards. I don’t know if “Bevo” loves it. I hope you encourage him.
Q: It’s not a big night for the defense because we talked about it a few minutes ago from a few one-on-one. ‘Wait, the ball moves very fast. It could be today. ‘ This is what you want. A: Definitely. You can feel it at the beginning of the game. The kind of game that will be. Sometimes you don’t look at yourself. You could hear it early tonight.
Q: There would be opportunities. Put yourself in the right place. It gives you a chance. You could get 19 marks in the front 50 and you got 20 against West Coast a few weeks ago, but a very big ball move. A: Definitely. That is a merit for the media. It makes the job easier. It’s to your advantage. It gives no chance to the defenders.
Q: Two players we marvel at at all times, one is Jack Macrae, he can go on with football. No one has had more than him in the history of the game. The other is Liberatore. I don’t understand how football can get so fast. Talk to us through Jack Macrae. How to get to the right place all the time. A: It’s amazing.
Q: What do you see in training? How do you do it? A: I would like to know. I myself would have some more provisions as it is in the right place. You often catch the ball and you can hear it screaming. And you want the ball in your hands. It is harmful. One of my favorite players. And be careful when you receive the ball and when you go inside 50 because you will not use it in the wrong way.
Q: When you have your elbow tied, Lachie McNeil throws a goal, you’re pumping and clapping, there’s energy, right? A: Definitely. This is the reason why you want to play. There is a commitment to each other. Obviously, I enjoy playing football. If he was right to go back out there, this was the game.
Q: It ends with Tom Liberatore. Amazing ability to catch the ball, in congestion, and then find someone immediately. A: His vision is amazing. You can see the structure in a week when we interrupt the game and the coaches show that it is the vision. It’s hard to understand.
