Okay, big money.

Well, I got a Venmo balance that I can spend with my Venmo Debit MasterCard, so.

Kris Klifunis (0:08)

Well, I Venmo'd you three times last week, so it's kinda on me, actually.

SPEAKER_2 (0:12)

Yeah, you send it, I spend it.

Paul Heath (0:13)

Did my money get, like, reincarnated?

SPEAKER_2 (0:15)

Yeah, it's chicken shawarma. You want it back?

I can't believe you, like, ate my Venmo.

There is so much NFL on ESPN right now.

Monday Night Football, plus pregame and postgame. NFL Live, NFL Primetime. Everything you need to stay on top of every game, every week.

Kris Klifunis (0:44)

Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_1 (0:46)

And now NFL Network is on the ESPN app. More football, more coverage, more ways to watch. Football's on all season long on ESPN and streaming on the ESPN app.

Paul Heath (1:04)

See you next week.

Kris Klifunis (1:41)

Welcome to Dockers Nation, the grand final edition.

We're here as you always knew we would be. Kris Klifunis, Paul Heath, never in doubt.

Paul Heath (1:54)

Never in doubt. The three sweetest words in the English language, as I just say Swedish, I think. Never in doubt. And that's certainly how I felt on Friday night. And yeah, that's how we felt so much.

During this fantastic year that the Fremantle Football Club has had so far.

Kris Klifunis (2:14)

Absolutely, Heata. Absolutely. Tell you what, there's been no moment where I'm second guest, JL or the team during any game.

Definitely not on Friday night. Definitely not. Definitely not. Definitely not. Definitely, definitely not.

Paul Heath (2:31)

You're saying definitely a lot is giving me a bit of a suspicion. No, we don't look back. Like we always say, we don't look back. We only look forward and we're looking forward to a date with Destiny on Saturday at the MCG. You'll be there.

You're fighting fit and ready to go.

Kris Klifunis (2:48)

Yeah. Yeah.

Paul Heath (2:50)

Sounding good. Yeah, absolutely.

Kris Klifunis (2:52)

Yeah, sounding good. This is my warfy voice.

Paul Heath (2:56)

You're playing hurt because you picked it up in the throes of watching and celebrating the win on Friday.

So it's like rolling your ankle or something like that as you've kicked a couple of goals for the Dockers on Friday. Really? That's how I look at it anyway, mate. I don't know how you feel about it.

Kris Klifunis (3:13)

I don't feel that optimistic or positive about it. I like the positive slant you're putting on it.

Paul Heath (3:17)

Yeah.

Kris Klifunis (3:17)

But you're right. Friday night, I was just, I thought I just lost my voice because of all the screaming that I was doing. I was at the Ray on Friday night and then it would have been too Fremantle.

Paul Heath (3:28)

Yeah.

Kris Klifunis (3:28)

Yeah. It only happened once actually.

Paul Heath (3:31)

Well, he's keeping it under wraps. He's not a big lids on guy, but I thought after that week he would have done it full time.

Kris Klifunis (3:38)

He didn't do it after the final song. Yeah.

But yeah, celebrated there, celebrated in Fremantle.

Paul Heath (3:44)

Nice.

Kris Klifunis (3:44)

And I just thought it was a lost voice, but lo and behold, the lurgie got me battling through. Captured you. Waiting to infect everybody on the plane over on Friday afternoon.

Paul Heath (3:55)

Usually you get on the plane and get sick, but you're already one step ahead. You are just four inches.

Kris Klifunis (4:01)

I'm patient zero this time.

Paul Heath (4:03)

That's right.

Kris Klifunis (4:04)

I'm not confident from someone else. They're confident from me.

SPEAKER_2 (4:06)

Cut that.

Paul Heath (4:07)

This is all for culture, everyone.

SPEAKER_2 (4:09)

Yeah.

Kris Klifunis (4:10)

How you feel about the, I mean, physically, you're fighting fitter than I am.

Paul Heath (4:16)

You're looking good.

Kris Klifunis (4:17)

I saw haircut.

Paul Heath (4:18)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (4:18)

Haircut.

Kris Klifunis (4:19)

Your beauty. Grand final haircut. Love that.

Paul Heath (4:20)

I've made a real late decision to, well, it could have been, some of the worst mistakes or some of the worst times I've had in my life were bad haircuts. So that's just the sort of privilege I've had of living life, I guess. Not that much has ever gone wrong other than haircuts.
