Although on this 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: specific Tuesday, Simon Goodwin probably wasn't the first coach we 7 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: thought would part ways with their club, and yet Melbourne, 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: two days after an eighty three point win over the 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: West Coast Eagles, have opted to sack their drought breaking 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: premiership coach. Will analyze the remarkable roller coaster Goodwin tenure 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: that featured the ultimate high and a lot of lows. 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 2: It's a special edition of the Fox Footy Podcast. Ben 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: Waterworth with you, as is the Man back from Balley Slam, 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: Mark Pagy, Max Lord and Hello Max. 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 3: Yes, bike bike Saja. 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: That's goodbye, isn't it. 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 4: Well? 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: That's how are you? 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: I think? 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: And it's like your friend where you can say like savah, savah. 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: You didn't just say it back. From what I remember 22 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: from my Grade five Indonesia was very little. 23 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: Nice to have you back after a couple of weeks overseas. 24 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: Also joining us is the Man who must say off 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: the record, got a little bit of wind about the 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: Simon Goodwin situation a few weeks ago. Didn't quite run 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: with it, but I will say Will Faulkner, you were 28 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: flagging this in the office a little bit. 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 4: Thank you, Ben afternoons everyone all morning. If you're listening, 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: then yes, it's one of those things, right. I just 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 4: had to flick off her message. I think it was 32 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: last Wednesday. I flicked off something to you just want 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: to keep tabs on. Yeah, you never like to see 34 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 4: a coach sacked. But I think there was a little 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 4: bit of win behind this. I think, probably more than 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 4: what has been given credit for in the public right. 37 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: But yeah, there's been some reports around like, look, Melbourne 38 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: is going to make some change, they're in the mood 39 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: for change. Something will happen. That was sort of laying 40 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: the groundwork for it. And then you have the story 41 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: being broken by two reporters within the space of I 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: think fifteen seconds this morning, Tom Morris and j Clark 43 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: both having the news. As it always happens, They probably 44 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: didn't even get it from the same person. It just 45 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: got out at the same time. 46 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: Because it sounds like them players. Yeah, the players were 47 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: told on Tuesday morning. Simon Goowyn himself was told personally 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: by Brad Green on Monday night after the board had 49 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: made a decision, and Brad Green was very very keen 50 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: to hammer at home that he was very quick to 51 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: get on the phone to Simon Goodwin and drive over there. 52 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: I already reckon he would have mentioned that five or 53 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: six times throughout the press conference. So Simon Goodwin said 54 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: will that he wasn't blindsided by the decision, clearly disappointed 55 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: and disagrees with it and disappointed that he can't go on. 56 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: And he said during the press conference on Tuesday that 57 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: he felt like things are about to turn, that they're 58 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: closer to getting back into the finals contention than a 59 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: lot of people think. But from what you were gathering 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: as well, sounds like the writing might have been on 61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: the wall for a little bit. 62 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: I think so. 63 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 4: I think ever since the board meeting, ironically the day 64 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 4: after the Sire sort of have it at home against 65 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 4: Melbourne about schedule board schedule board meeting. Yeah, it wasn't impromptu. Yeah, 66 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 4: I think, as you said, a lot of big decisions 67 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: has been made this offseason. I think he is probably 68 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: the one who's going to take the biggest fall out 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 4: of everyone. I think that probably goes without saying, but yeah, 70 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: it's a sign of the times at Melbourne. I know 71 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: Goodwin would have felt that. I mean, not much in 72 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 4: his playing list has really changed. There's been a big 73 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 4: core group still at Melbourne since they won the flag, 74 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 4: so you can understand why he felt like there was 75 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: still a lot of room for them to turn and 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: they weren't that far away. I've been quite beyond the 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: fact this season that their youth at their club is 78 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: still really good from the age of twenty five and under. 79 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: I think that probably goes under the radar a little bit. 80 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: So I think you can definitely understand as to why 81 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 4: he felt that the core group he still has and 82 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: the youth coming through was enough to see them back 83 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: into finals. Unfortunately, back to back exits with a double 84 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: chance in finals followed by two seasons of not making 85 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: the eight, it's going to pay a price to some extent, 86 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: and Goodman was the one that saw that. 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: So last week twice Max So I think it was 88 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: his midweek presser before the West Coast game he said, 89 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: we're all very aligned about the process, what we need 90 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: to do to create success. I feel incredibly supported by 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: the board, as I have for nine years, and after 92 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: the eighty three point win over West Coast, he says, clearly, 93 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: I've got a plan on, well supported by the board 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: in terms of where we're heading and what we're trying 95 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: to achieve, and then the package. Drew Jones asked him 96 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: at his press conference today how he felt reflecting on 97 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: those comments, and he simply said, obviously I got that wrong. 98 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: I don't think this was about Simon Goodwin, to be honest, 99 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: this whole sacking. Do you think his escapegoat a little bit, 100 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 3: But it's more about the fact that this could have 101 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: happened anytime over the past eighteen months and over the 102 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: next eighteen months. It's just that the power vacuum that's 103 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: happening at Melbourne with no CEO. They have an interim 104 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: and then the CEO's coming back from New York next month. 105 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: I believe where, I want to say, Paul, Paul where, 106 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: And then they've got the board making the decisions, led 107 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: by Brad Green, interim president. It's quite clear that they 108 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 3: have just had a turbulent couple of you and feel 109 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: like they need to move on and clearly moving on 110 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: from Simon Goodwin, who's been at that club for a decade, 111 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: is the clear sign post of a fresh era. So 112 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: it's not even his fault that they have He's not 113 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: got himself sacked by his performance. If they played finals 114 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: this year, sure he probably would have stuck around and 115 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: that was a realistic prospect because they do have quite 116 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: a bit of talent and I think he's done very 117 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: well this year as a coach. From Zip five when 118 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: they were terrible, they've been an okay side since then. 119 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 3: They've only won They won seven games and lost eight 120 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: doing some quick maths, so they're a mid table team. 121 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: If they'd played like this all year, they'd be around, 122 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 3: you know, Sydney at ten and ten, they'd be. They're 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 3: higher on the ladder now than they will finished last year. Yes, 124 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 3: they don't have a worse record because last year they 125 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: had eleven wins and finished fourteenth. It was very weird, 126 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: but it's it's not like they're a terrible team. They 127 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 3: are probably underperforming still and they feel very old. They 128 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: feel old fashioned in the way that they were that defensive, 129 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: dominant team that won the flag. But so you can 130 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 3: understand wanting to feel like they need a fresh voice 131 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 3: and it's not gonna probably not going to hurt them, 132 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: but it's not like something Goodwin deserved to be stacked 133 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: based purely on this year's performances. 134 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: There's a great piece by Courtney wolsh Our, senior reporter 135 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: for Fox Sports dot Com Today you and encourage you 136 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: to give it a check out, mainly because of how 137 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: he is so beautifully detailed the roller coaster since the 138 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one premiership, and Courtney says that Simon Goodwin's 139 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: legacy won't be questioned for he is the drought breaking 140 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: coach and that can never be taken away, and Demon's 141 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: fans will always laud him and love him for that. 142 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: But the roller coaster since then leaves a really vexing 143 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: question around did Simon Goodwin get the most out of 144 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: what was on offer? For so many times in this 145 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: podcast we've talked about Camra Mooney saying this is a 146 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: list that should have won two or three premierships, but 147 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: it also goes to show how bad the or how 148 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: hard it is to be a dynasty team. So stuff 149 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: like even on the eve of the Flag Defense, Melbourne's 150 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: board considered sacking Goodwin a year earlier due to bullying, 151 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: gambling issues, allegedly behavior at the Sorrento Hotel. Then the fame, 152 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: the infamous untract thing between Stephen May and Jake Melksham, 153 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: stuff like the Brody Grundy thing not working, Luke Jackson 154 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: departing for Fremantle, Clayton Oliver, Angus Brayshaw, Joel Smith testing 155 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: positive for cocaine, Christian Petrarca last year, Andrew Wilkie getting 156 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: involved under parliamentary privilege. I've forgotten that as well, and 157 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: that all leads to Kate Roffi finishing her tenure last year, 158 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: Gary Pert resigning, and how Goodwin goes just under twelve 159 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: months later. 160 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: I think, to answer your question, and I think I 161 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: think the next twelve months at Melbourne will be really 162 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: telling us to Goodwin's legacy for that four year roller 163 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: coaster we've had since the premiership. I suspect they'll be 164 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 4: going after a very experienced coach and I believe that 165 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: John long Wise at the very top of there. I 166 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: reckon I think John long Wi is at the very 167 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: top end to their wish list. Is that season? 168 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: Is that a wish list or is that a no? 169 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: He would consider us list like that's more than being aspirational, 170 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: and part of the reason they go with Goodwin sacking 171 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: now is to get to market quicker again before Carlton. 172 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: And I think I think they think they're a legitimate 173 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: chance to recruit him as their next coach. On Longmi 174 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: specific long My specifically, at the top of their list. 175 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: They're not a terrible option to take over because I've 176 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: been more optimistic on them than quite a few people 177 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: this year. But they do have still a lot of 178 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: that veteran top end talent. The midfield feels out of 179 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: date and they need to make some changes there, but 180 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: they I. 181 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: Think they've started to do in recent weeks. 182 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 3: They have Patraka going out of it quite a bit. 183 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: Pick at getting more centabouts attendances. 184 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: Yes, and they have been aggressive the last few years 185 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 3: in the draft in trying to add top end talent 186 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: that can compete now rather than getting bottom end of 187 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: the first round players who might take some more time. 188 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: I've done really well. 189 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 3: So it makes a lot of sense that they want 190 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: to try and be good right now and that would 191 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: fit with a more experienced coach. 192 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 4: Yes, and I think that speaks is to yeah, they'll 193 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: know where they sit after one year. I think next 194 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 4: year with their new coach, as I said, I suspect 195 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: they'll be wanting someone who's experienced, you know, shocking revelation. 196 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: But yeah, you know what's with dead list right now, 197 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: and whether or not Goodwin was right to have these 198 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: last couple of years with that list or if he 199 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: has actually achieved exactly what we expected. 200 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: It's it's so hard to win flags that it's going 201 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: to be really harsh for anyone to say, oh, they 202 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 3: should have won more, Like they were talented enough to 203 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 3: win more, and they had the straight sets finals exits, 204 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 3: and I'm thinking particularly of the Collingwood qualifying finals. 205 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Yes, it was an expected score game. 206 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: They absolutely should have won that game and then lost 207 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 3: it by a few points and then got knocked out 208 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: the next week. I think that twenty three when they 209 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: lost to Carlin Calvin semi final. 210 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: I believe in Collingwood goes on the Blakes goal. 211 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 3: Yes, so like they clearly had those chances, But you 212 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: also forget how good Stimer Goodman was at turning an 213 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: offensive juggernaut into a defensive juggernaut. In twenty eighteen, that 214 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: was the season where Melbourne really awoke and they finished fifth. 215 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: They get all the way to a pre They were 216 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: by far the best attacking team in the comp that year. 217 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: Very interesting season. Richmond looks dominant and then doesn't win 218 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: the flag and all of that stuff. But Melbourne felt like, 219 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: all right, they're a coming of age. And then they 220 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: have the dip in twenty nineteen, they get Picket, they 221 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: get Jackson, they have the COVID year where they nearly 222 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: sneak in and then by twenty twenty one, all of 223 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: that group that looked like a rising force becomes that 224 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: midfield dominant, defensively dominant side with just enough of a 225 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: forward line to win a flag. 226 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 4: I'm looking at it right now. So they're starting six 227 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 4: Neil Bullen, Tom McDonald, Tom Sparrow, Spargo, Charlie Spargo, Ben 228 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 4: Brown and Bailey Fritch. He've got one key forward in 229 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: Ben Brown, who was handy, was good. Not the offensive 230 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: front six that you've see in a lot of in 231 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: the twenty one Grand Final. 232 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, So that was the point that was the 233 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: midfield was so good that they created so many chances 234 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 3: that they could have thrown me in there and they 235 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: would have still had a chance of winning. 236 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: Shorter please and els defensively the right courts to get 237 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 2: main leader in consecutive years vibor the train. 238 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 3: Which was zigging and zagging and putting assets into defense 239 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: when other teams weren't doing that. They've made some bold decisions. 240 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: And interesting you mentioned Longmire. So of all the contender 241 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: lists come out in the hours after a club moves 242 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: on a coach, John Longmire was in most of them, 243 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: in all of them, and actually all these coaches were 244 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: in all of them. John Longmire, Nathan Buckley, Adam Simpson, 245 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: and Ken Hinckley. James Herber is in a lot. I 246 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: think the wild card is Danny Day, who's Brisbane's football 247 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: boss at the moment, who is very very very highly 248 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: regarded at club level. He's been a senior assistant coach before. 249 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 2: He was a welfare officer before that, eventually got into 250 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: assistant coaching, has been excellent of the lines as their 251 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: general manager of football. There was a report from AFL 252 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: Media late last month that there has been even muted 253 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: discussions amongst Brisbane people of a Chris Fagan to Danny 254 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: Daily coaching handover at stages. So he's the wild carter 255 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: I think in this because a lot of people in 256 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: the industry see him as a potential senior coach in wait, 257 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 2: it could. 258 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: Be a Fagan style selection. It would be rather than 259 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: the traditional pathways, which would be very interesting. 260 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: So you know, sorry, well, you don't think they will 261 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: go for some of the more highly credentialed available senior 262 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: assistant coaches like a Hayden Skipworth of Brendan Laid, Daniel 263 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: Jeans who accusa Ash Hanson, etc. 264 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: This will sound obvious, I think to people, but I 265 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: think for that to happen, Longmi would have to fall through, Like, 266 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: I don't think they're looking to this senior assistant coach 267 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: before they are Longmire strong only on the halls iron 268 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: It was yes in the same sentence as to the 269 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 4: Goodwin stuff that came across a couple of weeks ago. 270 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: Yah. 271 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: So that makes a lot of sense. And if they 272 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 3: believe that they are good enough to contend next year, 273 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: that's what you would do. 274 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: You would not go and get. 275 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: A career assistant. You would go and get an established coach. 276 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: Someone who coached in the Grand Final less than twelve 277 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: months ago at the top of your books. It makes 278 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 4: complete sense, I think also, I mean by process of elimination. 279 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 4: If you're looking at it on face value, Adam doesn't 280 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 4: sound like he wants to step back into head coaching 281 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: just yet, not yet, as he said last week on 282 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: AFL three sixty. And then you've got Nathan Barkley, who 283 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 4: I think is very much enjoying his time here at Foxville, 284 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: and I think he's got his eyes on taskman exactly. 285 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 4: So by process of elimination, even just there, of those 286 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 4: big top three, you would think that Longlid is the 287 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 4: one they're going to be talking heavily. 288 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: Before all that you met brought up Carlton just beforehand. 289 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 2: So how much does this accelerate their decision on Michael Voss, 290 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: who clearly is coaching out the next three games because 291 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: Melbourne won't be rushing their decision. They're not getting a 292 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: coaching panel together and making a start on their hunt 293 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: until next week, so for two rounds to go. And 294 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: I think the expectation is that Graham Rice, who has 295 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: had a lot of airtime in recent times, not himself 296 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: but just talking about how much change he could make, 297 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: is unlikely to move on Michael Voss until well into 298 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: the off season. So how much does this accelerate Carlton 299 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 2: strategy from here. 300 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 3: So traditional Carlton would be moving in the next week 301 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: or two, yes, and trying to get Longmine, and because 302 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 3: he's the biggest fish on the market, we think that's 303 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: a realistic chance of coming next year. I think the 304 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 3: Graham Right factor means that they will not do that 305 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: because what we saw with the last coaching search he 306 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: ran at Collingwood was getting Craig McCray. Yes, right, So 307 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 3: that was getting a career assistant who did not have 308 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: a huge profile, but it's turned out to be a 309 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: master stroke of a selection, getting a good body of 310 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 3: assistance around him as well as clearly helped. And then 311 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: they've been weakened over the last couple of years and 312 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: maybe that's contributed to certain things over the last eighteen 313 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: months of Collingwood. So that makes all the sense of 314 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: the world to me that grand Right will take his 315 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: time and then give himself enough rope to make the 316 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: best selection possible and not rush into it unless they 317 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 3: really think that they can persuade Longmaie and he's going 318 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: to be better than anyone else on the market. 319 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: That's a very big deep dive into the d's a 320 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: D's Deep Dive, which and full coverage of course on 321 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: Foxfooty dot com dot Au. Simon Goodwin had committed to 322 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: AFL three sixty on Wednesday night. Well, I really hope 323 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: that does come to fruition that to Garrion and Jerry 324 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: can him some questions. 325 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: Does he show up in the club polo? 326 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: I would heavily doubt it, I have. I'm trying. I 327 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: was trying to think of was it Alan Richardson who 328 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: rocked up in the Kilda polo after. 329 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: One sacked coach? 330 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: Did? 331 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: I'm trying to I couldn't remember who it was either. 332 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: But to three sixty, Yeah, was Brad Scott at North Melbourne, right, Yes, 333 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: who rocked up who got removed on the Saturday on 334 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: the Sunday he coached on the Saturday. Yes, was removed 335 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: officially on the Sunday and then came in for coaches 336 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: Night on Monday. On the Monday. 337 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: It came out on that Saturday. 338 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really. It came out early on that Saturday. 339 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: Coached coach the game. I think the win. I think 340 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: famously Hip and Shulder kinging on his way to a 341 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: three quarter time address, as you do to a great mate, 342 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: that's right, and got removed the next day and then 343 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: rocked up to a FO three sixty in the club Polo. 344 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: That is about as loyal as it gets. 345 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: It's now time for this and now on the Fox 346 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: Footy Podcast, another strong edition of Australia's Favorite segment, Fair 347 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: or Fast. 348 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Max, who's been filing the run home while in Balley. 349 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 4: Has been of course. 350 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: I mean, no one else wants to write about the 351 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: ladder obviously. 352 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: Know a lot of people. A lot of people want 353 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: to read about the ladder. 354 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: That's why I do for the loyal readers. 355 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: I hope you enjoyed it. 356 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: Max Adelaide is the new flag favorite Fair or Fast. 357 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: So that's different. That's a different question to looking at 358 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: the ladder though, Yes, that's vibes right. Well I have 359 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: well I have the number one of the power rankings, 360 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: so I think you can probably I guess you could 361 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: say Fair. Are they the most trustworthy team? If you're 362 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: going to put your life on a team winning the flag, 363 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 3: would you pick Adelaide? 364 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: Probably on the mechanics and the numbers, maybe yes, But 365 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: on reputation and experience probably not. I think it's Big. 366 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: Brisbane or maybe Collingwood just because of the maturity. Maybe Geelong, 367 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: but I think i'd have Adelaide above them. So yeah, 368 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: I think Adelaide deserves to be flag favorites because they 369 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: look the most likely to have the cleanest run. They 370 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 3: as long as they beat West Coast and North are 371 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: a very good chance of finishing top two and then 372 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: it's two adelade Over finals away from a Grand Final. 373 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 3: It doesn't take that much to get there. I wrote 374 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: about that in the power rankings that you always get 375 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 3: that weird thing in the week one of finals. It's 376 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 3: like we've had all of this build up, the season 377 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 3: takes so long and oh god, okay, they've won. They're 378 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 3: in a prelims quickly. It's crazy. But so it's going 379 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 3: to feel like that whence Adelaide gets there, it's going 380 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 3: to feel big and the pressure will be on for them, 381 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 3: Like if they're going to be hosting, as I'm predicting 382 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 3: on my final ladder at the moment, Gold Coast in 383 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: a qualifying final, So Gold Coast finishing the top four 384 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: that is an enormous opportunity for them if it were 385 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: to happen. But whoever they host, I think they'll feel 386 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: pretty confident they can beat so interesting times. Yeah, I 387 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 3: would say I would pick Brisbane to win the flag 388 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: of anyone right now, even though the numbers don't say 389 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: that they're the best team in it. They're not in 390 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 3: the Premiership window. No, I's seen it on the couch. 391 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: I think that's because of their defense. They can leak 392 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: a score. You can kick a score against Brisbane, so 393 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: maybe that's their problem there. 394 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: So from a crow's perspective, I assume you still left 395 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: Friday Night's win over Hawthorne will glass half full rather 396 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: than glass half empty, because it was a very sluggy start. 397 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: But their ability to flip the script in that second 398 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 2: quarter quite dramatically, has to be said, was pretty. 399 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 4: Taylor of two carters into halftime. Yeah, they just completely 400 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 4: cleaned up. They're getting absolutely smoked it Clearance. I think 401 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 4: at one stage it was eleven to one or ten 402 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: to one. And both Adelaide and Hawthorne are on records, 403 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: particularly in the last two months having issues at Clearance. 404 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 4: Neither of them have been particularly strong and that's where 405 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: they've been found out. But Adelaide's defense, as it has 406 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 4: done so well this season, just sorry past probably the 407 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 4: first month has held up really well. Same guy. I mean, 408 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: Marke Kane had just an incredible first half. I think 409 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 4: he had one hundred and three ranking points at halftime, 410 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: which was is you don't see that very often, blow 411 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 4: hitting triple figures. Defender Josh Warrell moved off Jack Gunston 412 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 4: quite early Gunston and got off to a pretty red help, 413 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 4: pretty red hot start, and from that point forward his 414 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: intercept game was really good. I think Hawthorne's four tolls 415 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 4: and I think most suspected got found out and they 416 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 4: made the most of it. I think, yeah, you had 417 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 4: individual brilliant at times from Jordan Dawson and Isaca Ranking 418 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 4: in the last quarter who Blake Hardwick I think did 419 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: a pretty good job at stopping for most of the game, 420 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 4: and then Taylor Walker iced it with two very clean 421 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 4: stent struts from distance. So it was a mixture of 422 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 4: team performance and individual brilliance, and I think that sort 423 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 4: of profile can get you a long way in September. 424 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 4: The only thing will be finals experience, but definitely Glass 425 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 4: half fall. The only thing I would say is, I 426 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 4: think they're on a six game winning streak at the moment. 427 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: They're won like nine of ten, maybe nine of ten. 428 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 2: Are you a big believer in the loss you need 429 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: to have before finals? 430 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 4: I am across most sports, particularly a footy and cricket. 431 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: But that coming in round twenty three. 432 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 4: It would be the one Collingwood. 433 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but the problem there is that that could cost 434 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: them top two postably, so they can't really afford one. 435 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: So you mentioned they need to beat North and West Coast, 436 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: so I said that they will beat will be no cost. 437 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: So if they lose to Collingwood, do you think they 438 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: won't make the top two. 439 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: If Brisbane wins out, they would miss top two. 440 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: And Brisbane plays in the next three weeks. 441 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 3: Of Sydney at home, three away, Hawthorne at home. 442 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a bit tricky. 443 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 3: Three losable games like you would tip Brisbane, but not 444 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: with huge confidence in. 445 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 2: All of them. 446 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 3: The freeer away could be tricky, so if there is 447 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 3: a stumble Bay someone else, they'll be fine. But that's 448 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: when I was doing the there's a five team race 449 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 3: for top four right now, with Adelaide, Brisbane, Gelong, Collingwood 450 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 3: and Gold Coasts the fifth. Because I think they can 451 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 3: win out and get there, especially because they could build 452 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: percentage against Eston in that final game. 453 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 2: Of the season, which they. 454 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 3: Could literally go into that game meeting to win by 455 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 3: twelve goals and easily do so. It would be quite funny, 456 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: not for rest end fans, but that's what makes it 457 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: so interesting that you know, I have Collingwood finishing fifth 458 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 3: now on percentage because of that, which sounds crazy, and 459 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: I think it's eleven different results need to happen for 460 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 3: them to finish a finished fifth. But of course that 461 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: means just one thing falls over and it doesn't happen 462 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: and they stay in the top four and they're fine. 463 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 3: But those were the most likely results all happening, so 464 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: it is what gets Collingwood to fifth. 465 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 2: So will on the pies ding ding ding, there's alarm 466 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: bells at Collingwood fair or fast. 467 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 4: I think it's fair for the sole reason that if 468 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: you're the they had the mind a premiership in the 469 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 4: box set like they're in the box seat, not unlosable, 470 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: but it was. They looked very, very good for. 471 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: Two and a half games clear and then you lose 472 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: three and four. 473 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 4: And I'm a big fan of Craig McCrae, but having 474 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 4: heard his press conferences in the last few weeks, they 475 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: have a lot of players to come in. I will preface, 476 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 4: but just I don't know if it's a public face 477 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: and it's different behind closed doors, but I would have 478 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 4: been speaking in a different vein after losing three from four. 479 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 4: They've all been well Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantles, Gold Coast, three 480 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 4: very respectful. 481 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 3: Opponents and three close losses. 482 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: Close losses, so alarm bells. Feels like a stretch, but 483 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 4: it's more, it's a lot more than nothing. I think 484 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: it's fair. I don't think you can sit here and say, oh, 485 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 4: they've lost three to the last four, but they're you know, 486 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: humming along. But yeah, the players, they've got to come 487 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 4: in at full strength I think go a long way, 488 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 4: and a lot of them are experienced players. They're not 489 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 4: guys in their first, second, third year and as we know, 490 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 4: experience in finals just you know, is invaluable. So yeah, fair, 491 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 4: but it's not it's not as bad what it looks. 492 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: When they were fourteen and two, everyone was thinking they're 493 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 3: not that far ahead of the pack, are they? And 494 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 3: then they've lost a few close ones while having some 495 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 3: availability problems, which which is a genuine problem. People are 496 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 3: probably understated is the amount of change they've had to 497 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: make first to the midfield, some of it forced by 498 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: bringing back Tom Mitchell, and then the defensive absentees, which 499 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: flows on for the rest of the ground because if 500 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: they can't intercept properly, they can't launch properly in all 501 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: of that stuff. So I think they're about where they 502 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: should be one of the top teams, but was vulnerable 503 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 3: to being beaten by other good teams because it's a 504 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: very even top eight or nine right now, and that 505 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 3: does mean in an even season that the top four 506 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 3: is even more important because any structural advantage you can 507 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 3: gain from the bracket feels even bigger when every game's 508 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 3: close to a fifty to fifty. 509 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: Okay, the other end of the top eight, Maxi Hawthorne 510 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 2: is now the most vulnerable top nine team. Fair or 511 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 2: fast has to be fair. 512 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: That has to be fair because they've still got Collingwood 513 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: this week and then Brisbane away to end the season 514 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: and a Melbourne team that I mean, I guess they 515 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 3: could be emotional and playing for good two weeks later, 516 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 3: although you'd think it would run out by then. So 517 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: this is the problem. It's a race to fifteen wins 518 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 3: and they've got the hardest path, so if they don't 519 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 3: beat one of Collingwood or Brisbane, they will not get 520 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 3: to fifteen wins, and you'd think everyone else will and 521 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 3: the only team that's less likely to get to fifteen 522 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 3: would be the Bulldogs and they've got a percentage of 523 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 3: a million, so they're going to finish above Hawthorne if 524 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 3: they get stuck on fourteen wins with them. So if 525 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: Hawthorne does not beat Collingwood this week, that seems like 526 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: the one because I think a lot of people will 527 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 3: be saying this at home it's their best chance. Going 528 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 3: to Brisbane in the final round is going to be 529 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 3: tricky when Brisbane's probably going to be playing for top two. 530 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: So if they don't win this one, they're in big 531 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 3: trouble and needing Fremantle or GWS to slip up. Freoh 532 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: should get to fifteen this weekend by beating Port they 533 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 3: would be relatively safe, although the percentage is still the problem. 534 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: And then GWS have got North this week and sin 535 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 3: Kilda in the last round, so two very good chances 536 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: to get fifteen wins. So Hawthorne does not feel like 537 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: a team that should miss finals and I think they 538 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 3: would safely be the best team to ever miss the 539 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: top eight. No one's ever missed with fourteen wins, so 540 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: that would be history itself. And I just think on 541 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: the eye test they feel like a very good team. 542 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,239 Speaker 2: They do that they're being squeezed. Have they been the 543 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: most patchy team? The Bulldogs probably would have an argument, but. 544 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: They haven't had that many bad losses, Like the gather 545 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 3: around to Port is even worse in retrospect and felt 546 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: bad at the time. But then they've had a bunch 547 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: of close losses to good teams and their fixture has 548 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 3: played a part in this because they've got Brisbane twice, 549 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 3: Collingwood twice and Adelaide twice, which might be the top 550 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 3: three teams of the comp So then no one thought 551 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 3: Adelaide is going to be this good, but that's ended 552 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: up hurting them. And then although they did beat them 553 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 3: once so that. 554 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: In that University of Tasmania stadium, thank you, yes. 555 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: Double checking as I mentioned it, so like they're going 556 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 3: to end up I think if they the projected record 557 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 3: I have for them was fourteen wins, nine losses, and 558 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: six of those losses were coming against teams they played twice, 559 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 3: so that's the fixture hurting them. In a way it 560 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: did not hurt someone like Geelong, who have actually lost 561 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: quite a few games to teams they played twice like 562 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: sin Kilda, but have also gotten the chance to beat 563 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: up on Port. We'll beat up on Esthendon this week 564 00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 3: and so on so forth. So that's how much. 565 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: Will since Kilda fans is love for Nasaia wangone miller 566 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 2: and please for him to stay will have zero impact 567 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: fair or fast. 568 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: That's a good question, but more or less impact than 569 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: inviting him over to the house with a bunch of 570 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: rich blokes. I feel very comfortable in that environment. 571 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 4: I'm sure it can't be a bad thing, right, Like, 572 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 4: if it's ever going to be anything, it's going to. 573 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: Be good, better than Bronx cheers. 574 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 4: I think at this point again, I mean, my opinion 575 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 4: on this means next to nothing, but the financial aspect 576 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 4: of it I think isn't meaning too much anymore. I mean, 577 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: once you get to the point that Thesia is that, 578 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 4: I don't think there's much to it. So I think 579 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 4: the emotional impact, like a win after the sire and 580 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 4: you play a key role against Melbourne has that's intangioule 581 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: and that's something that as I said last week, Port 582 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 4: and Adelaide can't take or get for themselves with the 583 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 4: sire having such an emotional fan base like San Kilda 584 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: showing up in numbers and having signs holding around the 585 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: ground and saying we love Nasia and pleading for him 586 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 4: to stay. I think it can only be a good thing. 587 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 4: How much he actually weighs into it, I don't really 588 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 4: think a whole lot. But you know, the club and 589 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 4: their fan based clearly hold him in as higher regard 590 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 4: as they have anyone, probably since like a locker, and 591 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 4: that's well before my time. I can't even speak to that. 592 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, it can only be a good thing. But 593 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: it's a fascinating way. 594 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: It's not the reason he would go or stay. No, 595 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 3: it could be a reason in the back of your head, 596 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: but it's not the reason he's going to make a 597 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: decision in the end. 598 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: I don't think he's actively thinking about it in his process. 599 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: Do you think he's made it up? We're talking about 600 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: trying to get inside of the guy's mind, right, Do 601 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: you think he knows what he's doing? 602 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 3: I think so. 603 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 4: I don't think you could go to it like everything 604 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 4: has really I mean, maybe with the exception of one 605 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars a year after that has been reportedly 606 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 4: added to his contract after the sign whever Melbourne. Everything 607 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 4: has been on the table for close to two months now. 608 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: Adelaide's been there since February this year. Around then. His 609 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 4: connections with Port stem around that like that early and 610 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 4: that's when players from Port We're probably starting to reach 611 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: out and have chats about, hey, you know, come to 612 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: Aurison like nothing has changed in the landscape for a while. 613 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 4: Maybe he's looking for something to pop out at him 614 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: in the last couple of weeks. I don't know what 615 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 4: that would be, but clearly I think it's become a 616 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 4: point where it's been in his best interest to wait 617 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 4: it out until the end of the season because he's 618 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 4: worth has literally gone up and up each week. I think, 619 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 4: you know, I think, you know. I think it's the 620 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: same as like you know, for a rogue sidestep like 621 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 4: Graham Wright and Carlton mircaol Voss. I think Graham right 622 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 4: probably knows what he wants to do. I think, yeah, 623 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 4: the people like him and some killda in the side. 624 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 4: Everyone's been able to sit back and make a decision 625 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 4: for the last couple of months. 626 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 3: You're waiting for persuasive evidence to take you the other way, 627 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 3: but knowing that you have time to make your decision. 628 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: And also it can't hurt because, as you're saying, some 629 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: Kilda's office going up, ideally, Port's offers going up ideally, 630 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 3: Adelaide's office going up at the same time. 631 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, there's nothing, there's nothing. Sorry, 632 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 4: there's no issue in him waiting out the season. From 633 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 4: his perspective, Sat Judia fans obviously have the right to 634 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: be nervous and he clearly can't be that committed to 635 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 4: Saint Culda because he would have resigned by now, I think, 636 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 4: like in this last week period. But yeah, no one knows. 637 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: Max losing Jack Sylvan he would be one of the 638 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: great trade fumbles by Carlton fair or fast. 639 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 3: What depends if they want to be good next year 640 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 3: or not, if they're not going to be good, does 641 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: it matter? Like it's it's pretty okay. What makes it 642 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 3: a million times worse is the fact that it's Collingwood 643 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 3: that he would be going to right if he goes 644 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 3: to the Bulldogs. Not only is that great recruiting from 645 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: the Bulldogs who need defenders, but it also is bolstering 646 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 3: a contender, and then there's no emotional like, how could 647 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: you snub us for the Dogs but for Collingwood. Sure, 648 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 3: sure they'd hate that. So yeah, I could understand being 649 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: very frustrated with that, especially if they're offering roughly the 650 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: same amount of money, Yeah, which is what it sounds like. Yeah, 651 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: so yeah, it's pretty weird from Carlton. You know, they 652 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: could use Jack Sulvanna next year. Certainly, it's not like 653 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 3: they're going to try and rebuild over the next few years. 654 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 3: They still try to win a flag right now, even 655 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: if it means changing a coach and getting one in. 656 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: Maybe that well, they couldn't. They couldn't not going to 657 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: persuade him because the timeline is not going to match 658 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 3: up unless they go and move quickly before the trade period. 659 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: Is it. 660 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a bit of a mess just. 661 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: On This is a slight ancillary question on Craig McCrae's 662 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: openness to admit that the men first date that yes, 663 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: they had a first date and he was keen on 664 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: a second date with Jack Suilvanney. It comes after the 665 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: Oscar Alan sam Mitchell meeting came to light, but not 666 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 2: via you know, Sam Mitchell openly emitting it or Oscar 667 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: Allen openly emitting it. It was reported and the same thing 668 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: has happened in the last twenty four hours with Matthew 669 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: Nicks making a phone call reportedly to Sam Draper as 670 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: kind of a bit of a last minute pitch to 671 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: Draper to come to the Crows when most of the 672 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: discussion reporting had been it was a choice between staying 673 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: at Essenon or going to Brisbane as well? Are we 674 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: kind of a in America? They police this a bit, 675 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: don't they? 676 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? 677 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 4: There are. 678 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 3: I think there are different rules for different leagues who 679 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: are allowed certain numbers of visits or there's no there's 680 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 3: anti tampering periods where you can't, but people still do. 681 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 3: Like the stupidity of NBA free agency, for example, twelve 682 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 3: oh one am it opens and all of these contracts assigned. 683 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: It's like, wow, they were negotiated in the last five minutes, 684 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: I guess, incredible. So like it's it's a winkling system, 685 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: Like you can't point to that and say it's a 686 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: perfect system, right. I think every comp realistically is having 687 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: things like this where coaches are talking to players in season. 688 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: And last one, will you love this one? The push 689 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: in the back rule has been quietly redefined fair or fast? 690 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 4: Jared Healy would answer this question far better than I 691 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: would Ben and at length. 692 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: Well at the present time, you would say yes, fair, yes, yeah. 693 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: Did you see much of the Melbourne West Coast stuff 694 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 2: that he was on the call? 695 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 4: He was on the call, I heard him, I'd be 696 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: having to rack my brain to try and find these 697 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 4: so he talking about. 698 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: So and this sort of peaked mind because I didn't 699 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: see a lot of the game on the Saturday. But 700 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: then he was on the Kilda North Melbourne coverage and 701 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: put to Ross Lyne pre game, what are your thoughts 702 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: on the push in the back? You know, Jared's been 703 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: on the push in the back rule and campaigning for 704 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: it to be strictly enforced or better in forced, for 705 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: the past seven years. Ross sort of talked about how 706 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: he struggled to get his head around it. But then 707 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: I went, why is Jerry going about this so strongly? 708 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: So I went back and watched a little bit of 709 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: Melbourne West Coast Lucky you and got through the goals 710 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: and there were so many goals. I want to say 711 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: at least four across the first three quarters where West 712 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: Coast defenders gave away free kicks for pushing the backs 713 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: that directly led to set shot goals for Melbourne. And 714 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: Jared was in commentary and I think I would love 715 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 2: to get the camera on him. I reckon he wouldn't 716 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 2: have been able to believe. His eyes would have been 717 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: absolutely blowing up. 718 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 4: I mean him and I had a very good chat 719 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 4: at length about two months ago on an article and 720 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 4: pushing on multiple chaps, multiple chats, pushing the back. He's 721 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 4: very strong, and it's just I don't know how else 722 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 4: you can put it. It is such an ambiguous rule that 723 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: different umpires officiate differently. Sometimes if you're West Coast again, 724 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 4: without having seen the footage, he's just going to get 725 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 4: a bad day. Sometimes umpires are just red hot on 726 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: a rule. Maybe they have under officiated the week before. 727 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 4: The feedback they've had from the umpiring house is, hey, 728 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 4: maybe just looked for a little bit, Maybe you missed 729 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 4: a couple last week, and then it's just like bang 730 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 4: bang bang bang bang. 731 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: Is the suggestion that Greg Spawn has done this and 732 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 3: that was his conspiracy theory, Yes, that he's come in 733 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 3: and shorter quarters and pushing the back. Hey remember that rule, please. 734 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 4: The specifically in Melbourne West Coast at Marvel Stadium, the 735 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 4: importance twenty. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, the one that would 736 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 4: go under the radar the most. 737 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 2: But Jared's point was that he saw it similarly enforced 738 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: in Sydney Essendon and then there were and then sort 739 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: of no punishments in Collingwood Brisbane. 740 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 3: I saw those the four clips that you mentioned, of 741 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: the four goals that West Coast gave away, all of 742 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: them looked like clear pushes in the back to me. 743 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: So if that is what we're paying, absolutely pay those. 744 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people who have watched 745 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: footy for a long time look at so many of 746 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 3: those incidents and think that you could pay more. I 747 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 3: don't think that hurts the game at all. 748 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 4: We are we pushing them, pro pushing the back or 749 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: pro hands in the back. 750 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 3: I hate that we have to do the distinction. I 751 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 3: understand the distinction, but it's what makes it so messy 752 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 3: is the problem is that people are seeing nudges in 753 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 3: the back or fore arms in the back that would 754 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: be an illegal push without being a hand. 755 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: I've played probably less footy than you have will. But 756 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: when I've been pushed in the back, even if markers 757 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: up right, yes, it is quite you get pushed forward 758 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: and it is Yeah. It puts you off your line 759 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 2: so much and it feels it just feels illegal. 760 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, especially when you're going out, Like speaking 761 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 4: about like the top one zero point five percent of 762 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 4: athletes and athletes in Australia, like the momentum and the 763 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: speed they're going up towards the ball. Any slight decoy 764 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 4: can obviously push you off a fair bit. I don't 765 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 4: know for mine. I think hands in the back removes 766 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 4: a little bit more ambiguity, the difference between holding your 767 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 4: ground with your arm or your and the distinction between 768 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 4: a push. I know that it was ironically brought in 769 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 4: to try and create less of a gray area. 770 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 3: I think he's probably created more. But that's the problem. 771 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of the rules that's always going to 772 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 4: be ambiguous in the game, regardless of that. 773 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 3: But at least you can understand it more than holding 774 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 3: the ball. Regular people understand pushing the back more than 775 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 3: they understand holding the ball. So it's why it's an 776 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 3: easier one to fix, and more if you're trying to 777 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 3: come in and be the new AFL house people who 778 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 3: are running the game and get people on side immediately. 779 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 3: It's things like that that will help, and things like 780 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: without changing the rules, having shorter quarters and going to 781 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 3: games next year and feeling like they're not dragging on. 782 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 3: We don't want thirty five minute quarters constantly like that 783 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: will make people enjoy the game more and then people 784 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 3: will be supporting you. 785 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: Well. Whenever you mentioned yeah, whenever you mentioned pushing the 786 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 2: back to Jared or he brings it up, I just 787 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 2: think of the channel of being meme that has can 788 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 2: open words everywhere. Every time it's now not time for 789 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: the mail bag, we're gonna hearing from the wisdom of 790 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 2: one of football's great characters. 791 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 3: Do you think Kevin's a chance to get the Melbourne job? 792 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 3: Put him put his hand up. 793 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: I would say it'd be a bold move by the 794 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: Melbourne board. 795 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 3: If maybe they What they just need to do is 796 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 3: get the Essendon people back in charge of a club 797 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 3: because they ran Eston so well for the last twenty years. 798 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 3: Bring in Herdie Sheedy as a GM of footy, you know, 799 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 3: bring back the glory. Yeah, or heard to the two 800 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: thousand grand five Herd has. 801 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: Been linked to the Melbourne John That was the name 802 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 2: I left out. 803 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 3: Just before the hand. How long are we going to 804 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: do this that James Herd gets mentioned as a serious contender. 805 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 4: If he's a wild card, what does that make Seedy? 806 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 3: What he's almost they've almost been as recent as senior 807 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 3: coaches in the AFL, like they were both at GWS 808 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 3: at times. Heard had a year when he came back 809 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 3: after the drug saga and then left. Like are they 810 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 3: going to change the name of the GWS Medal by 811 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 3: the way, from the Kevin Sheedy Medal to the Callan Award? 812 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 2: Have they good? 813 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 4: They should? 814 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 3: That's good because it's a pun that I've stolen fro 815 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 3: Twitter and I can't remember who I stole it from. 816 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 4: But I see what you did there because it's name, 817 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 4: good name. I just don't think you could do that 818 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 4: to Footy Furnace turned out of it. 819 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 2: That's true. 820 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 3: He's the core of that show.

Here let 823 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: us go. We've got a big news day. We're going 824 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 3: to get back to the desks. So Kevin Sheedy, of course, 825 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 3: grew up in pran Pra Pran pran Pran, as we know, 826 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 3: in a city. 827 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 2: And yet. 828 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 3: The narrator says, Kevin Sheedy's first memory is of being 829 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 3: lifted onto a white horse by his father Tom, who 830 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 3: is in shirt sleeves and wearing a hat. Kevin says 831 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 3: he was about three and a half years old at 832 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: the time, and pressed admits his memory and they have 833 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 3: been held by a photograph given to him by his 834 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 3: Aren't Mary Sheety? I know my dad loved horses and 835 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 3: always wore a hat. He said that picture was probably 836 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 3: taken at an agricultural show up near Brotham where he 837 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 3: grew up. He used to take us kids up there 838 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 3: for holidays when we were little, or it could have 839 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 3: been at a stable in Mooney Ponds, near where my 840 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 3: aunt Mary lives. Dad used to take pattern me with 841 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 3: him to the stables sometimes when he wanted to chat 842 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 3: with the owner. He loved looking at and touching horses. Yes, 843 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 3: interesting quote the end there, Yes, thank you for that horses. 844 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 3: That's the way it's going to be. 845 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: But I was thinking normally when you read it out 846 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 2: in the Sheety voice, I can picture it I can't 847 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 2: quite sort of picture him saying it that aggressively when 848 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 2: recounting his early man. 849 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 3: Look at this photo of me on a horse. I 850 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 3: was a baby. 851 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm not that we're going to go into it, 852 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 4: just what comes before and after that text for that 853 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 4: to just like mesh like it did. 854 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 3: That's the start of a chapter. Interesting and then he 855 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 3: goes on it. So this is the first book of course. 856 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 3: A touch of cunning, yes, a touch of cunning. And 857 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 3: it's about his childhood at the start. That's why there's 858 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 3: the photo of the ghost baby on the cover that 859 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 3: we are. 860 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 2: That's not the one where he's on the horse, is it. 861 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 3: Well, he's standing up on grass side unless the horse 862 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 3: is very very small. 863 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 4: It's a pretty agricultural book, so checks out. 864 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 3: Could be well, he's standing on a road, so it's 865 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: not that's like cult. I mean you can stand on 866 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 3: the road in the country, I guess and not be 867 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 3: scared of getting run over. 868 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 2: Looking forward to hearing more pockets of greatness, touch of 869 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 2: Cunning from Kevin Sheedy as we tick down towards the 870 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 2: grand final show of Thefity podcast. 871 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 3: You've got to stop hyping up. I've literally had multiple 872 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 3: people ask me if we're getting shety On for the 873 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 3: grand file. We have no contact with the man. I 874 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 3: have no interest in having once in mocking the man 875 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 3: in front of his face by reading his old passages 876 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 3: of text. 877 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 2: I Reckon might be surprised. 878 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 3: I mean, we can have an interesting chat, I'm sure, 879 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 3: but scary. 880 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 2: Let's look ahead to Round twenty two of the Toyota 881 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 2: AFOL Premiership season, starting with Hawthorn Collingwood Bo Nixon Cup 882 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 2: up for grabs. Here word enormous stakes, he max, yes this. 883 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 3: If Collinwood loses this, they are a great chance of 884 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 3: missing the top four. If Hawthorne loses this, they are 885 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 3: a great chance of missing the finals. And to be honest, 886 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 3: I think the round starts and ends with this game 887 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 3: because all the others kind of think yes, So I 888 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 3: am going to lean Collingwood and the belief that with 889 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 3: their players they're getting back Jeremy Howe, Billy Franton, the 890 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 3: chance that will reinforce their defense and just get them 891 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 3: over the line. But absolutely I could say Hawthorne getting 892 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 3: up for this and winning an important one. 893 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 4: I think colin would win response after three losses in 894 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 4: four weeks. But I'll be fascinated to see how Hawthorne responders. 895 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people will be given their 896 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 4: season is quite literally on the line. 897 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 2: Geelong and essenon blockbuster GMHBA Stadium clash for the Glenn 898 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 2: Killpatrick Cup. Here gee long by how much? 899 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 3: This is a Saturday one forty five game? Like, what 900 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 3: are we doing? 901 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 4: I don't know. It could be good for Jamy to 902 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 4: fill his boots in prime time. 903 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 3: Literally the only thing that we're watching for it this point. 904 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 3: Like percentage kind of matters because Geelong could maybe catch 905 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 3: Audelaide on percentage. 906 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 2: What other game would you put this round on the 907 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 2: Friday night? Maybe Brisbane Sydney. 908 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 3: Brisbane Sydney. 909 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 2: I mean, let it be a risk from a broadcast perspective, Yes. 910 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 3: Because we need Victorian clubs. 911 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 2: Oh yes, we know. 912 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 3: The problem was we understand that Essendon and Carleton we 913 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 3: needed to be placed in a lot of these games 914 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,479 Speaker 3: because A their Victorian clubs and that's good for TV, 915 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 3: and B because they were expected to play early in 916 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 3: round twenty four. So that's why they've done. But they're 917 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 3: twenty one dollars. 918 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 2: That's long odds. 919 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 3: I would say bet responsibly, but do not bet. Yes, 920 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 3: let's say seventy. 921 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,720 Speaker 4: Seventy ninety six. 922 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 2: You know we said last week how we were discussing 923 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 2: how close Jeremy Cameron will get to the Ton. Yes, 924 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 2: so we got six. How many goals do you give 925 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: him against Essendon? Seven, Rocky Blackiston, Roden shotgun down back there. 926 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 4: Nine. 927 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: It literally depends on how much they intentionally feed him 928 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 3: in the second. 929 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 2: Half, which I think there are signs of that, but. 930 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 3: They didn't do a lot of it. They only kicked 931 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 3: two in the second half against. 932 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 4: Port like it was weird. 933 00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 3: I was looking for him enough. No, it felt like 934 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 3: they were they. 935 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 2: Forgot Jack Martinus pounced up. I did. 936 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 3: I was suggesting to people in the office that every 937 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 3: long player who kicked a goal and was not name 938 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 3: Jeremy Camery should be fined ten thousand dollars in the 939 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 3: second half early please six two five zero, that's only fair. 940 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 2: Richmond and Soon Kilda early Saturday game Dean Polo Cup. Yes, 941 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 2: grabs here. 942 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 3: Saints have a nice little run here. They're not probably 943 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 3: not going to get to ten wins, which they've had 944 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 3: every year this decade, at least a half decade of averageness. 945 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 3: But they should win this. 946 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 4: Yes, they should win. 947 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 2: This Brisbane and Sydney Saturday Twilight.

But I would be happy to give 960 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 4: up the hours that I was paid for doing that 961 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 4: game to have under seeing that we'll take that to 962 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 4: h We will. 963 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 2: Carlton and gold Coast for the Daniel Gorange Cup. 964 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 3: So if there's going to be an upset, reluctantly said. 965 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 2: Then reluctantly, I used to love it. 966 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 3: No, it's Richmond's funny good bit. If there's going to 967 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 3: be an upset this round this day, Saturday is sort 968 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 3: of the more interesting day. I think, Oh, hang on, 969 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 3: if there's going to be I'm asking the question. I'm 970 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 3: not saying it's going to be this one necessarily, but 971 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 3: we know gold Coast comes to Marvel and does weird 972 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 3: things like they weren't great against Essendon, lost to Richmond 973 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 3: Carlton played pretty well against Free Oh they did for 974 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 3: a half. 975 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 2: Yep, they did the. 976 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 3: Classic Carlton thing. If Carlton was in continent for the finals, 977 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 3: that game would have been the biggest story of the 978 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 3: round because oh my god, Carlton did it again. No 979 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 3: one cares because they're already out. I'm just saying, like, 980 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 3: there's there's a sneaky chance that they do something here 981 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 3: is they're not? 982 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Sons have been pretty impressive in their comprehensive 983 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 2: in their past two weeks. 984 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 3: Are they not due a bad performance? 985 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 2: I am a slot. I am a believer in the 986 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 2: loss you need to have before finals. This is not 987 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 2: that I don't think so. I think gold Coasts need 988 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 2: to keep winning. 989 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 3: No, they do, they do, absolutely, and I'm tip. I'm 990 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 3: tipping them obviously. They're thirty four and one top nine 991 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 3: against bottom nine teams. Yeah, over the last thirty five 992 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 3: and the one loss was freer to Sydney when Sydney 993 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 3: were favorites. So that's why the lad is so weird 994 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 3: right now. The favorites are just winning more games than 995 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 3: they usually do. Yeah, that's the problem. 996 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 2: I agree with will sentiment about the Crows, like losing 997 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 2: the Collingwood if they don't, Yeah, losing to Collingwood I 998 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 2: think might be a nice sharpener UPPERO. 999 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 4: It just lets you. It reminds you that you know 1000 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 4: what things that you need to fix and not everything's perfect. 1001 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 4: I think for the Crows, specifically to win twelve in 1002 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 4: a row to go to Grand four, or eleven in 1003 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 4: a row to win a Grand Final, that that's very unlikely. 1004 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 2: Is it not? 1005 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 3: More you need the loss that you need to have 1006 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 3: when you're winning games unconvincingly though, that's the difference. If 1007 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 3: you're winning convincingly and playing really well, maybe it's not 1008 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: so much of a thing. And also it's something we 1009 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 3: completely make up because I think we just presume that 1010 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 3: teams need a loss because sometimes we see a lot 1011 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 3: of wins and then they lose a weird one. It's like, oh, 1012 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 3: they should have had they should have lost a game 1013 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 3: a few weeks ago and they would have been fine. Yeah. 1014 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 4: I think the five goals that the Trows considered in 1015 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 4: the first quarter like that, that in itself was a 1016 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 4: mining that was the reality check. 1017 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 3: Okayah, so that could also. 1018 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 2: Work port Adelaide and fremantle Ken Hinckley's third last game 1019 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 2: in charge. 1020 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 3: Jed mcint his fiftieth picked. 1021 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 2: And also announced earlier that Travis Boke would play out 1022 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 2: his final three games AFL game, so he'll get the 1023 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: three eight seven. I think pretty pretty good stint. 1024 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 4: That's an incredible stint as an interstate play. 1025 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 3: Look, it's a shorter flight, but it's still a flight 1026 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 3: every week from adelaide As. 1027 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 2: You would be well. 1028 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 3: Aware if Port was what they should be, this would 1029 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 3: be the upset chance of the weekend Freo playing away. 1030 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 3: You know, you never know, but no. 1031 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 2: Freer Yeah big yeah. Beaten up by Carlton in the 1032 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 2: West six day break Yeah. 1033 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, It's believable that Port would win this. 1034 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 4: It's easy for me to day having not submitted my 1035 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 4: tips for around twenty two yet I'm going to go Port. 1036 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 4: Why not? 1037 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 3: You're trying to catch up. 1038 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 2: Also, just getting up for the fifty game. I reckon you. 1039 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 4: Happiness edges in there. 1040 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 3: How many weeks in a row has it been Jed's 1041 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 3: possible fiftieth to be fair, No, well, he's played the 1042 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,800 Speaker 3: last two weeks and he played very well on the 1043 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 3: This is what I missed when I'm overseas mcintee status. 1044 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 4: He will come back in around the same time that 1045 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 4: you left to Balley, so well coincidence, I think not. 1046 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 2: The Giants host North Melbourne for the Aiden Bonner Cup. 1047 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 3: This is it man Sorry at Corrobie Corrobberie Group Oval Manica. Yes, 1048 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 3: is the weirdest name stadium in the country. 1049 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,919 Speaker 2: Now, need to get my mouth around that because next 1050 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 2: week I'm traveling to Manica Oval. Excuse me, Corrobberie Group 1051 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 2: Manka Oval. 1052 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 3: No. No, it's listed on a dot com to you 1053 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,240 Speaker 3: as Corrobberie Group Oval Manica. 1054 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 2: Corrobberie Group Oval Manica for round one of the afl 1055 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 2: W between the Giants and Essendon. So I need need 1056 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 2: to get my head around that. 1057 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 4: A transitional phase. Do we think like you can keep 1058 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 4: Manica for now and then we're eventually maybe as identified. 1059 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 4: It came up as a graphic in one of our 1060 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 4: games in the last couple of weeks and it was 1061 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 4: you know how, it's just like normally would be m 1062 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 4: O for Manka Oval. It came up as CGM, which 1063 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 4: was incredibly confused. 1064 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 3: Yes, so it is Oval Manarker then that is actually 1065 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 3: is right. Apparently it's a coding mistake. It's interesting. 1066 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 2: It's what it's like how we've done here in Melbourne 1067 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 2: since the rebrand of Melbourne Sports Center Parkville. 1068 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 3: Yes, I thought we're gonna talk about Melbourne Rectangular Stage 1069 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 3: that too. It's also quite fun. Giants win, Giants win, 1070 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 3: have to win. 1071 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 2: Pretty ordinary performance from the Giants last Thursday against the Dogs. 1072 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 2: The Dogs though, take on the Troy Chaplin led Demons, 1073 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 2: Mitch Hannon Cup up for grabs Sunday afternoon. 1074 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 4: That's a good one can previs asked, would you have 1075 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 4: liked to have seen good you had a goodbye game? 1076 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 3: No? 1077 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,439 Speaker 2: I don't, No, I don't think so what I did 1078 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 2: forget to mention before him? This is probably the first 1079 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 2: genuine sacking that we've had in a while. Yes, where 1080 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 2: most clubs, and I think credit to Melbourne been transparent. 1081 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 2: Yet most clubs always talk about a mutual parting of ways. 1082 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 2: But I think Melbourne were pretty clear in their language 1083 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 2: that someone good was told you not getting you're not coaching. 1084 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: Okay, in terms of language, yes, Adam Simpson was a sacking. 1085 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 3: I think it's been pretty clear from what he is 1086 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 3: intimated on air and stuff like that that he was 1087 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 3: not attempting to leave at that time, so that that 1088 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 3: was a party of the ways. That was ninety nine 1089 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 3: from one side. But no, you're right, it's the more 1090 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 3: surprising one we've had in a while in terms of 1091 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 3: the time. Dogs, Dogs, Dogs. 1092 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 2: No emotional uplift here for a sugar hit for Melbourne 1093 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 2: you think. 1094 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 3: I mean if they want to try and repeat the 1095 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 3: Grand Final performance, Yes, win by what eighty that'd be? 1096 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 3: That would be surprising if that happened again. 1097 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 4: A hell of a performance to do that against the 1098 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 4: Dogs team fighting for their season. Yes, to win having 1099 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 4: just lost your coach. 1100 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 3: If we know anything about these Dogs that they don't 1101 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 3: lose to bottom nineteen right. 1102 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 2: And then we finished with West Coast and Adelaide off 1103 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 2: the stadium for the Tysons Tyson Stengline. Now a couple 1104 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 2: of years ago they played in round the final round 1105 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 2: of the season. That's when Taylor Walk went nuts still 1106 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 2: in his boots. 1107 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, jeez. It is literally one v eighteen. 1108 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 3: Last six, last four games, Crows by sixty six, Crows 1109 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 3: by ninety nine, Crows by forty five, Crows by one 1110 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two. 1111 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 4: That was text ten, text ten next, right. 1112 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:15,959 Speaker 3: And that nineteen nine point one was in a season 1113 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 3: where the Crows were even good. 1114 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where Texts kicked a lost. 1115 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 4: Now that Jesus he had a lot of goals in 1116 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 4: a short amount of time against them Crows. 1117 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, unsurprisingly Crows. Are you sure? 1118 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 2: I think you're right that the round starts and ends 1119 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 2: on Thursday. 1120 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 4: Literally, it's fitting that this is the last game of 1121 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 4: the round. 1122 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 3: It's making up for about three months of crap Thursday 1123 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:37,919 Speaker 3: night game. 1124 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 4: Are you resting players at the Crows this week? 1125 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1126 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you've got every right too. I think 1127 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 2: it's not silly, but I think it's wise if Tyler 1128 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 2: Walker and some of those other older players don't truvel. 1129 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 4: I did hear King salon radio yesterday that he wouldn't 1130 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,840 Speaker 4: he wouldn't rest some of the players he reckons on 1131 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 4: such a roll you just let it play, which I 1132 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 4: thought was interesting. 1133 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 3: If you're going to do it, you do it now. 1134 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: You don't do it round twenty four against North at Marvel, 1135 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 3: because then you could be giving them two weeks off 1136 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 3: and then that might be too much as your touch. 1137 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 2: That is the end of a jam packed edition of 1138 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 2: the Fox Footy podcast.
