I didn't even look at the 68 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: school boards. I don't know whether these are going to 69 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: have any impact on it or not. 70 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't think Harry Sheesel was in contention, but he 71 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: couldn't be denied. 72 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: He couldn't be denied. After a fifty four game, fifty 73 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: four possession game. It was unbelievable. Actually played so well. 74 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: He just carved the game to pieces. 75 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: So fifty four touches gets Harry a touch and you know, 76 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: when we're doing the GVP in five ten years time, 77 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if this man's driving in one jured 78 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: because he's got all the ability, all the talent. 79 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: People are in a hurry for him to dominate the game. 80 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 2: He'll get there, don't you worry about that. 81 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: I like the way they've coached him start even half back. 82 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: There's no rush to throw these bokes through the middle. 83 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: You get them there eventually, and when they get there 84 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: they have days like that. 85 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 2: So well done. 86 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: That too was good for the soul because he's had 87 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: his battles this year and there he was at his. 88 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: Two goals as well. Zach Bailey started at all on 89 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Friday night. He gets too much to the Brisbane line, 90 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: so no lock. He heil through that midfield coming up 91 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: against the Freemantle Dockers, Sarong and Brasure and the like. 92 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: And I looked in there and went, well that's different. 93 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: Zach Baalley is in there should have kicked three goals 94 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: in the first fift minutes from the middle of the ground. 95 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: He kicked two. Set them alight. 96 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: And he's just he's a bit indicative of this football club, 97 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: to be honest. They got depth everywhere, so they've He's 98 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: probably been sitting out there on r Forard flanks saying 99 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: get me in, get me in, and Fags put him 100 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: in there and he dominated. And then an old bloke, 101 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: well the name of Jack Gunstan says this, give us 102 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: seven on the mcg and I'll get the sixty and 103 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: it will make it look very, very simple. 104 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: So this was it was pure What. 105 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: A season he's having was a thirty three year old. 106 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a little bit more to say 107 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: on him a little later in the show, but I mean, 108 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: what a season. And I just put my hand in there. 109 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: I didn't say it and I didn't ride it. I 110 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: almost did. I was going to be hyper hypercritical of 111 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: awthought at the start of the year. So this is 112 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: one of those where you fall on the sword when 113 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: you didn't even declare it. 114 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: I thought he was gone for all money. So well 115 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: done to Jack Gunson. 116 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: What a renaissance that it should lead all the way 117 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 4: to the All Australian team as well. So these are 118 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: the GVPS. Our leaders remain tied on nine. Patrick Danersfield, 119 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 4: Isaac h and Matt Rowel, Toby Green, Jesse Hogan within 120 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: striking distance and the rest are going to need to 121 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 4: play finals. 122 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: He's a mover. Didn't know that mud be plenty to 123 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: come on that front. 124 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 4: All right, let's get into the agenda. At the top 125 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 4: of the biggest contract news of the season, he'd become 126 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: the most talked about player over the past month.

And yeah, I 144 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 6: just felt like it wasn't right to leave for me personally, 145 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 6: the friendships I've created and wanted to achieve something specially 146 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 6: with them, There'd be nothing, no better feeling than doing 147 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 6: that with them. And yeah, they great relationships here and 148 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 6: I love all the boys. 149 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 4: Nothing mattered more than this for some Kilda and they're faithful. 150 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 4: They've been tortured by it for this past month as 151 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: he has fully grown into this player, wondering will he 152 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 4: be ours? Or he truly hadn't made up his mind. 153 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: It didn't bear thinking what would happen if he left. 154 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: That's as excited as I am or we are. Some 155 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: Kilda fans are over the moon. Him not committing and 156 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: going elsewhere was that was a that's an even nearly 157 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: bigger story, because then we go, we'll have's Tom Deakerney 158 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: going to fit into the football if in fact he goes, 159 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: which it looks like, is how's he going to go 160 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: in there? And how's he going to be received? And 161 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: then you know the other players who are said to 162 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: have been a bit unsettled with the way it's all unplayed, 163 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: So that is all gone now, so you can park 164 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: that and now it's you wait till we get him 165 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: and you won't leave wanders in and then who else 166 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: will come and recommit? So yeah, the alternative wasn't worth 167 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: thinking about. But he's done now and it's it's great 168 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: news at a big price. 169 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, at two million dollars big price. 170 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 4: So if negotiations seven, I know, if negotiations started in 171 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: the high eight, say in January, this is the season 172 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: that he has played. As to commands, two million dollars, 173 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: we have moved very quickly from one point three million 174 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: to two million in this industry, a. 175 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: Question about that. 176 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: So in the end, that's for the secure footy club 177 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: to manage, and we'll have questions on that. The supporters 178 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: don't care about the stalarycap. That's the bottom line. And 179 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: this is a supporter group of you know, had one 180 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: premiership to celebrate. It's been lean, it looked it could 181 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: go one way or the other. So they don't care 182 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: about that. They don't worry about how they're going to 183 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: fit you form me in potentially into two players into 184 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: a salary cap. But it is a challenge and it's 185 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: interesting how it's going to play out, But yeah, I reckon, 186 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: I reckon. He's gone up half a million bucks in 187 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: four weeks. 188 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: Yep, after the Melbourne game, and then strength to strength, 189 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 4: He's evolution throughout the season. He was the finest ball 190 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: using half back flanker, and then he went into the 191 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: middle and became a top ten player in the competition. 192 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: And by the way, when games are on the line, 193 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: he'll just pop forward and win you're the match. So 194 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: he's become that triple threat in what six weeks and goalkicker. 195 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: So he's top probably top five player in the competition 196 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: right now, and that's what those books are going to earn. 197 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: What about the notion of twenty percent of a cap 198 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: being taken up by two players if Tom Mconing goes there, 199 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: as we all imagine. 200 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: Well this to be perply honest. 201 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: I've never dived into it, but I would imagine it's 202 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: been done before. You know, if you've got a ten 203 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: million dollar salary cap, which it was not so long ago, 204 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: that's two million bucks out of which seems even worse. 205 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 206 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: You'd have to ask the relpies of the world who 207 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: understand how it all works. But I think Gubby and say, 208 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: let's get this thing done and then we'll sort the backhand. 209 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 3: Out and I hold them all together. 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 2: Out, hold them together. 211 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're going to run end the couple along 212 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: the way, and if a few noses get put out 213 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: a joint and then so be it. All that matters 214 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: is you've got them together. Windegether roommate stays hopefully. I 215 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: can't imagine him turning around and leaving, can you, Jack Sink? 216 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 3: Sorry? 217 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Calen Milke committed and then you know the captain, So 218 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, sort out that other stuff later, leave 219 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: that to the boffins and the footay coach. 220 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 2: Ross Lyon's pretty damn happy. 221 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 4: He's the centerpiece of the rebuild, that's for sure, and 222 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 4: we've seen that so often. Think in these moments right now, 223 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 4: deliver against it all. The way he's played this season 224 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 4: is to just feel like a good decision. Do you 225 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 4: think I do? 226 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: I do? Even at the price. This is one of 227 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: those ones. 228 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 4: Where you pay what needs to be paid and then 229 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 4: figure the rest out afterwards. 230 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 3: That's the best of it. 231 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: The worst of the news out of the round is 232 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: the savage fallout from Saturday Night that centers on Isaac 233 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: Rankin who is tonight the source of an AFL integrity 234 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: investigation which is reaching its endpoint, and the likelihood is 235 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: a suspension that will end his season comes from headquarters tomorrow. 236 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 4: He stayed away from the Crows today, I think for 237 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 4: reasons that are understandable. It did leave his teammates to 238 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 4: face the questions. 239 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not ideal, but it's obviously in the 240 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: AFL's hands. 241 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: And all that they've investigated and see what happens. 242 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 6: Be worried about. I guess potential big band fires that 243 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 6: could mean for the finals campaign. 244 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, we'll wait and see, but 245 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 3: we'll leave it up to. 246 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: The AFL to go through what they have to go through. 247 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 6: There's another incident like this speak to a cultural issue 248 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 6: within the AFL. 249 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. 250 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, it's definitely not ideal, is it. But yeah, 251 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 6: we'll work through stuff, and yeah, we've got a game 252 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 6: this week, so we'll focus on that. 253 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 4: This has been a scourge of the competition for a 254 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: year and a half now. It's Andrew Dillons absolute passion 255 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 4: project to stamp this out of the game and the 256 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 4: intrusion of a word which has no place in common use, 257 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 4: and it didn't feel like I'd heard it for twenty 258 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: years before. It has started to flow in here the 259 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 4: sequence of events. So it was a tense night. It 260 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 4: was physically planning close quarters and Rankin was involved at 261 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 4: various stages in pitted battles with Isaac Quanor, which then 262 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: spilled to other opponents. The players on the field were 263 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: well aware of what had been said, and yesterday Collinwood 264 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: contacted Adelaide to inform them of what was known. Adelaide 265 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: then handed it over to the AFL Integrity Unit, who 266 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 4: have staged their investigation today. Both players have been spoken 267 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 4: to Ranking about four o'clock this afternoon to understand his 268 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: version of events. So what happens. These are dealt with 269 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 4: as summary judgments. There's no tribunal hearing or the like. 270 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 4: We've seen these go to the to the legal experts 271 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 4: in a very real way. I think these have been 272 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 4: Andrew Dillons calls along the way and the where these 273 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 4: penalties of landed. So the first was Finlason with three weeks, 274 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: and that came with a warning if it happened again, 275 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 4: it would be more. The second was Will Powell who 276 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 4: got the five weeks with there are no excuses for. 277 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 3: This conduct in our game. 278 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 4: Will Graham's the most recent and we live through this 279 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 4: with the two coaches from the West Coast and the 280 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 4: Giant Sorry yep, Jack Graham. So I think you could 281 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: interpret that the base penalty is five weeks, and Jack 282 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 4: Graham was a judge to have self reported and the 283 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 4: level of remorse was such that he was able to 284 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 4: get five weeks down to four weeks. It remains to 285 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: be seen through the investigation whether Isaac Rankin would qualify 286 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: for that, but as we sit here now, if it 287 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: is all established, he will be looking at a five 288 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: week suspension. 289 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 290 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: So the Crows haven't put a foot wrong since the 291 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: halfway mark of the year. They've done everything right, got 292 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: themselves into the top two spot. They'll host a home 293 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: final and they're going to have arguably their best player 294 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: jumping out of your skin, fully fit, sitting in the 295 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: grand stand. That's a worst case that's a worst case 296 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: scenario for any club. And that's no. I've got no 297 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: sympathy for him. I understand how it happens. I understand that, 298 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: but this is not sympathy for Isaac. This is sympathy 299 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: for the Adelaide footy club, who couldn't imagine they find 300 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: themselves in this situation after one of their great wins 301 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: against the club. They haven't been on a beat and 302 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: their Premiership favorites for a reason, They've got a city 303 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: behind them and now fighting fit sitting in a fan 304 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: Isaac Rankin, that's nearly the worst case you can hope for. 305 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 4: Where we find ourselves as an AFL community is troubling. 306 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 4: I mean this is well declared. The Finlason incident was 307 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 4: distasteful and was the clearest warning. I remember thinking at 308 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: the time this word is. I hadn't heard it in 309 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: twenty years. It doesn't feel like it's in any sort 310 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 4: of usage, but evidently with a certain demographic in various 311 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 4: places it is. And it's the sort of thing that 312 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: needs to be addressed in locker rooms if in any 313 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 4: way this is part of your vocabulary. These are the 314 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: two reasons it needs to be out. What it means 315 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: from a society point of view, and secondly, what the 316 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: potential ramifications are if you reach for this word in 317 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 4: the heat of battle, it has to It just can't 318 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: be part of any sort of flippancy or whatever else. 319 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: Goes on between twenty year olds and then we find 320 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 4: ourselves here and as a code, this is an awful 321 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: pattern of behavior over eighteen months. 322 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: So the code is doing its best to stamp it out. 323 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: It's the players now that need to lead the way 324 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: and take responsibility. Now, everything you say is right, but 325 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: I can't guarantee you that it won't happen again, because 326 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: that's what happens in these games. In this battle again, 327 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: it's not simply or an excuse, but they will reach 328 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: for a word, and you know, we're hoping in five 329 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: ten years time, but it's never heard again. You know, 330 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: it would appear that it is still and used enough 331 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: to know that. You know, in these heightened senses of 332 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: an AFL field, you say things that you don't mean. Well, 333 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't mean it, and you're remorseful. 334 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: But that happens. 335 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: Because I guarantee it's going to happen again, I couldn't. 336 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, it's a sour note to what was the most 337 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: enthralling game, and I've been looking forward to that you've 338 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 4: had time to think about it. 339 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: I want to know more about it. 340 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 4: It re established Collinwood's core and it was the win 341 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 4: that the Adelaide Crows most needed as they set their 342 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 4: sights to glory. 343 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: I think Seth show that should be rocking at the 344 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: moon and it is. 345 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 6: This is the big one, the Adelaide Oval Pact capacity. 346 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 6: It's been a sellout for three weeks leading up to 347 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 6: this game. 348 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Nowhere to biggest home and I game of the year 349 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: right now two of the biggest want. 350 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: The clubs pressure on everywhere you look. 351 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 5: And this is as a player, the games that you 352 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 5: want to play in throughout your quick. 353 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: On the road, in. 354 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: A light, in a quarter of dominance. 355 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: It's really pleasing. 356 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: We can turn them around. Haven't got more all to do. 357 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, but I think we have any right direction. 358 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: It's surprised by twenty five. 359 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: How did we hang on? 360 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: It was grit, you know, the voice just dug in 361 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: deep and in the end we sort of tapped it 362 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: out and just go. And the Prows have picked Fred around. 363 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 4: The biggest emotions pride, but I'm incredibly proud of haven't 364 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 4: been for years. 365 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: It's nice now for them to be getting what they deserve. 366 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: Bill fur these gets what a mark, what a man. 367 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: He's a different way system. 368 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 4: When you have a close loss, you think about moments, Ah, 369 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: if only that didn't happen, if we did that, I 370 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: don't have many of those. 371 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you do. We gave everything rock 372 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: to me and you know it was just a fraction 373 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: better than moments. It heads it off to take us. 374 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 3: Side though, the take us difference. 375 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: He committed tonight with his incredible belief. 376 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 3: But we believed before he came into this game that 377 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: if it got place, we were going to win. 378 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: And in the city of Churches and. 379 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 6: Waiting for September, when there's a rick or crowd in 380 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 6: the house and they're screaming and going nuts, it's hard 381 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 6: to walk down those stairs at again and not get excited. 382 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 6: And they'll never forget. 383 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: It lives on inside the four walls of our footy club, 384 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: and it lives not on in South Australia. 385 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: It was built as the biggest night of three of 386 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 4: the Crows had had in eight years, and had delivered 387 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 4: on that front. 388 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 3: They got the results. What to make of it though, 389 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: because it was a peculiar game it was. 390 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: I'd take a little exception of people say it was 391 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: just a lockdown game from the start? 392 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: Wasn't that? 393 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: At the start? 394 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: Colonne kick five goals to one in the first quarter, 395 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: and they were looking to be created with the ball. 396 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: You know, they were just looking to go down the middle. 397 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: I remember saying to Jason, they coming inside a lot, 398 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, the trying. Their eyes were going in there. 399 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: So they kicked five goals to one that lead by 400 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: twenty five points. They kicked five goals to one against 401 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: Hawthorne lead by twenty six three weeks earlier. And then 402 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: in the second quarter they have twelve inside fifties and 403 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: score a point and the Adelaide have thirteen and kick. 404 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: Five goals one. 405 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: Then it goes into this arm wrestler ball wrestles after that, 406 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: and as a commentator, I will sitting there watching the 407 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: count I wish I could tear something different, But this 408 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: is what's happening. 409 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: That's going in Adelaide defending it. It's coming out, and 410 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: it's going back in, and it just kept going back. 411 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: And the more the longer it's spend in there, the 412 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: more everyone closed up, and the less. 413 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: Room there was Collingwood, you know, the seventy inside fifties. 414 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: You go, what, boy, couldn't they do anything with it? Well, 415 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: there's no room because there's that much traffic in there, 416 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: and I remember also making the comment that the corridor 417 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to be mode because no after. 418 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: Half time it was just a no goes on vacant. 419 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: The one time it went. 420 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: There was a miskick and it went in the middle 421 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: of the ground and the whole whole thing opened up 422 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: and that ends up with a crow throw to the 423 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: with the goal. 424 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: Do you think if they played again, Adelaide would play 425 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 4: that style or might they be a little bit braver. 426 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: Remains to be seen, but I think they were content 427 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: to be able to show that they can slug it 428 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: out because Collingwood were in that for this, you know, 429 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: to do exactly that and to win ugly. 430 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: Adelaide did it, and they did it well in the end. 431 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: I reckon if they were to play again, just let's 432 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: say it's mcg in the last age September, they'd be 433 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: more expensive and take more risks through the middle. 434 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: Of the ground. 435 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: Conditions played into it a bit, but they were superb 436 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: and Collingwood lost. 437 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: No fans, so they'd lost five out of six. But 438 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: did you leave a bit more confident? 439 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: Well not as not as much as Craig was and 440 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: as Pendles was apparently straight after the game. But I 441 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: understand where they're coming from because there's no other message 442 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 1: you so when you've lost five or six or one 443 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: round to go. 444 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: But I mean they've lost by. 445 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: Three points to a team who were the premiership favorites. 446 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, Collingwood fans have got reason to think that 447 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: there's still a chance. 448 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 4: I want to stay with your travel the Brisbane Lions. 449 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 4: As I was watching, heard all that you had to say. 450 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: Just the validation. 451 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: The Lions are eight and four against the best teams. 452 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 4: They have the best record by miles against the top nine. 453 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: They were superb, came with the plan and executed it beautifully. 454 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: They said we're not going slow. You can go as 455 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: slow as you want for you We're going to go 456 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: and move the ball and the uncontested mark going was 457 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: through the roofs ack Bailey set it up early and 458 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: they were just superb rain and didn't really look like 459 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: get a touched in the first half and exploded in 460 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the second half, which he's done a few times. They 461 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: got challenge a couple of times Fremantle when they were 462 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: prepared to move the foot, he got through and then 463 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: just made a meal of it forward to the center. 464 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: They had really some gilt edged opportunities that they didn't take. 465 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: But this is a very good footag side. This is 466 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: a really good footy side. Je We know that in 467 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: the running premiums they keep losing players. They hip it out. 468 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: Now for a month, Barry they try and push through, 469 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: so they keep losing him. But we underestimate what they 470 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: got through the middle. And you know, as I said, 471 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure Zac Bailey's been busting to get in the 472 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: middle and Conjastper Fletcher's busting to get in the middle. 473 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: He stuck an half back flank, so Charlie found a 474 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: little bit of form which was good. 475 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: So they walked away. Craig Chris Fagan post came in 476 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: a big smile on his face and he should have. 477 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 4: To hipwood injury is inconvenience the No, he's not a 478 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 4: world beater, but I mean they will definitely have to play. 479 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 4: And they've got Henry Smith and Ty Gallups. They are 480 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 4: deep into their. 481 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about that. That kid Logan Morris 482 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: keeps getting better. He getting kicked another four on the weekend. 483 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 3: And Freemouder was a big fail on a stage that 484 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: was theirs. 485 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I went deep and looked at him and 486 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 2: I said, you've got to run to the fire. I 487 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: love that saying they didn't. 488 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: Last year they ran away from it, and they ran 489 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: away from it again when it mattered most. And I 490 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: understand that Justin would have his backup and say we 491 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: won eleven or twelve, we're hanging on to eleven or thirteen. 492 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: But when it mattered most, I just they weren't competitive enough. 493 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: They didn't react quickly enough to what was a pretty 494 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: predictable start from a Brisbane side and then Ford to center. 495 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: They are a bit of a mess as well, so 496 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: they're not out of it. They come to Marvel Stadium 497 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: with they should come to Marvel Stadium with expectation, so 498 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: they're still very much in it. 499 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: But it was really disappointing. 500 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: It was a disappointing outing from Frio and when you 501 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: consider where they were this time last year and the 502 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: way they bundled out and now they're in danger doing 503 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: it again, that puts pressure. 504 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 3: On that man. 505 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: With fifteen wins, so they're up from twelve and last 506 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 4: year to fifteen. So when the final sums are done, 507 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 4: it's going to be important to assess ninth fairly, not 508 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 4: just on the they missed the finals. 509 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: That's a failah. 510 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: And they're young, yes, ahead, I think you can show 511 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 4: the progress that they've made, none of which is going 512 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 4: to be any consolation unless they come to town and 513 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 4: win their way in. 514 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: So they've got to take advantage of what they've got. 515 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: What they've got is players forward to the book and 516 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: do some damage. So when you have a look at 517 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: this common metal situation right now and you see who's 518 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: leading it, you'll see a style of player that is 519 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: emerging that has been missing now for a little while. 520 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: Give me a best forward rant. 521 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: Well, this is it. 522 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: So to the common middle, Jack Gunstan came out. This 523 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: is what Jack Gunston comes out and kicks a sixty 524 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: goal season. I'm asking myself why that happens? How can 525 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: that happen to a man who I thought was finished. 526 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: It's because over the past three four five years, coaches 527 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: and clubs have allowed defenders to take over the game 528 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: by the way they play. 529 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: Don't play six forwards, Let's play five. I'm a ford. 530 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: I want one. I want not bad luck. You got 531 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: five against six. We want to extra in the midfield, vacate, 532 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 2: defend up. 533 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: The ground, on Jack Hunston had thirty even in his 534 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: fourteen touches inside forward fifty made me cry on the weekend, 535 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: Jared So Jack Gunst all of a sudden comes back 536 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: into footy and goes, no, no, let me do something that. 537 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: So defenders don't defend anymore. They defend space and they 538 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: intercept mark. Jack guns says, I'll hit up at the ball. 539 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: I'll just lead up at the foot He lead up 540 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: at the footy. 541 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: As a result of that, he's kicked a sixty goal season. 542 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: It was like an a pitch. 543 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 3: I'm watching it going what is well? 544 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: How come this old blokes kick sixty goals? Because the 545 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: craft returned? 546 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: He gets one on one, he works Stephen received man 547 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: where he was, hits up with the ball, takes a mark, 548 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: goes back, kicks a goal sixty times? 549 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 3: Why don't they do that? 550 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: Which takes me to Fremantle. Hopefully they're following here. So 551 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: they had a period of dominance when it was with 552 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: this boy Tracy. He pushes Gardener off the ball, goes back, 553 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: kicks a goal. You go there, this is the winner, 554 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: this is the man. And then the next the next 555 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: play bang lead up. So he's got Gardener for space, 556 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: and he's got him on the lead. He go, why 557 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: can't you isolate this man? This is the very next play. 558 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: Isolate him. Ahna in comes Jackson, incomes Amos, up comes 559 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: someone else. 560 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 2: That's a three on three. Look at them all. 561 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: Go to the one space, Jared, Why isn't Tracy the 562 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: hot man here? Why isn't he the one that's gone righter. 563 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: You've got to defend me. 564 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: Here's the space, leave it for Tracy. Oh no, let's 565 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: all go. 566 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: Let's all go and make the defending job for the 567 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: risbone lines that much easier. 568 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: So that is just a nonsense. This is that's the third. 569 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: So the first one was he just pushed gardener out 570 00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: of the road. 571 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: He is a fly marks it kicks a goal. I reckon, 572 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: he's a chance Tracy. Next one he hits up on 573 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: a lead. 574 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 3: Bang mark up. 575 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: Now he's a chance. Next one. No, let's all go. 576 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: Isolate the man and give him a chance. 577 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: Jack Gunson gets his own room, gets his own space, works, 578 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: he mover goes that marks it kicks a goal. 579 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: What's happened to that? Where's that football? Gone? 580 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Six v six forwards? We'll wear five v six. We 581 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: have an extra midfielder run around and do what he 582 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: wants on his own. 583 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 3: I love the passion well downe. 584 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 2: To Jack Guns. 585 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 4: Let's bring our coaches into our conversation. Damien Hardwy Incident 586 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: is going to join us for the Gold Coasts. Top 587 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: four is still in the offering with two to play 588 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 4: after the setback against the Giants and Brad Scott a 589 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 4: huge effort from the Bombers, still no prize to go 590 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: with them.
