I don't think 52 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 2: some killed the analysis of that game. Let's sin kill 53 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: off the hook to some degree. They lost to a 54 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: team that had won all year. So now play goldco 55 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: Suns back at the dreaded Marvel Stadium, which is not 56 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: a happy hunting ground for their coach. They're four and 57 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: six along with four other teams. They're delicately poised for 58 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 2: the season. They did this to Freemantle about three weeks ago. 59 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: They went their red hot favorites and they dismantled them. 60 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: They did a number on freeo at Marvel Stadium. So 61 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: it's time for the Saints to pull out another one 62 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: of those. They've lost one of They lost five of 63 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: their last six games, so the season's getting away from them. 64 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: Willkie the good stern kick of the bin. There nothing 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: like a. 66 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: Kick of the bin to just let everyone know how 67 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: disappointed you are. So you'll have a big job against 68 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: Ben King that that. 69 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: I've got the Saints, what about you, I've got Hawthorne. 70 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: So seven and three sitting forth, great platform from which 71 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: to attack. Just listening to Sam Mitchell. He talks about 72 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: a good side that is striving to be a great side. 73 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: So he's spoken about last year and the. 74 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 6: Capacity to improve was enormous. 75 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Last year where they were coming from. The games are now, 76 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: as Adam Simpson calls them, incremental, they're harder to guess. 77 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: They want to stack up against the good sides when 78 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: it matters most. And these next two weeks it's the 79 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Brisbane Lines and Collinwood. 80 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: They're both at the MCG. 81 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: They've beaten the Lions there past five, including two of 82 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: the G and they've beaten Collingwood their last two at 83 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: the MCG, so they have good reason to believe and 84 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: I reckon now's time to just show their top four 85 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: credentials up against. 86 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: An opponent that have dropped the game to Melbourne and 87 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: drew with North Melbourne. 88 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: So there's the build up for that's going to be 89 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: pretty good. 90 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: So it should appeal to the Brisbane lines if they 91 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: do spend their lives as the hunted, they can manufacture 92 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: hunter mentality here against. 93 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: The record coming off a premiership. Round ten has been 94 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: a pivotal point for Melbourne who are ten and zip 95 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: post grand final. At round ten, things that's get a 96 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: bit difficult for the premier see what they can. 97 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 5: Look forward to it? 98 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: Our agenda starts where the round buzz tomorrow night.

There are three changes at Geelong. 135 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: Tom Stewart who's had an interrupted season. He injured the 136 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: knee against the Kilda in round two. He's missed one 137 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: played one missed one played two missed two and now 138 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: he comes back. Keir Stanley's back from the hamstring that 139 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: was the Collingwood game and closely returns Dangerfield bows both 140 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: injured hamstrings, and O'Sullivan has been managed their youngster. Just 141 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: the one change for the Bulldog's Addie Jones needed to 142 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: be replaced, and that's going to be Oscar Baker, who 143 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: plays his fourth game of the year. So this is 144 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: the only shot of Bailey Smith all week. If he 145 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: has been training. It's away from our. 146 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: Ared look at it. Get up he's put the black 147 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 3: cap on. 148 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: He's going to wear the black hat man and he's 149 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: the villain in this big western. 150 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: It's beautiful. 151 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: I love the fact that he has turned up for training. 152 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 2: I thon he would have probably decided that I'm just 153 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: looking at it. 154 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: So what do they do with? 155 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: Bailey said, this is the great speculation. These are the options. 156 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: Go to Davidson or Frasier and say this is the 157 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: reason we kept you and we let him go, So 158 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: go and prove, go and show us Sam Davids are 159 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: one of the great runners. Those won't happen, but this 160 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: is what you can make a case for. Or do 161 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: you go to the bomb so you wonder over doing 162 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: stand next to him and say to you and may, 163 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: let's see how we go just to put that in here, 164 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: so then it gives him something to think about. Or 165 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: you go to liber my favorite, Yes, he goes over 166 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: and that does the old skill. You got me in 167 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: your back pocket every minute and every day. 168 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: Or then you've got the Arms and Richards to it. 169 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: There's Harms I'd love because that's the guy you know. 170 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: That comes from another club and Bubba and Richard's who's 171 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: blossomed in the absence of Bailey Smith to be you know, 172 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: we in all Australian form. So he goes over to 173 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: and says, we're not missing, we're missing. You have a 174 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: look at me. Let's go. That is what I've in 175 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: my mind. I've got now how plays out might be 176 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: completely different modern day footy because then they go to 177 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: worry about homes and they're gott to worry about everyone. 178 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: Else, but they'll probably just play. 179 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: And Bailey end up having twenty five plus and Ed 180 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: Richards I have twenty five plus and away we go. 181 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: It's deep seated for a couple of reasons. 182 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: The Bulldogs are jilted. 183 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: By the lack of gratitude from Bailey Smith for what 184 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: they guided him through over a period of time. And 185 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: Bailey ended up jilted with the Bulldogs because they wouldn't 186 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: play him in the midfield. And here he is as 187 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: one of the pre eminent midfielders in the competition. So 188 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: I love the dynamic at play. The fact that his 189 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Ballarat chide drew a response from Bontempelli. I refuse to 190 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: accept that this we're not going to be visually able 191 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: to see this, but because the atmosphere is going to 192 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: be like electric. 193 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: It'll be buzzing, and the players you can't help yourself. 194 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: It's like going to Grand File and saying, oh, this 195 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: won't this will just be like a normal game. 196 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: It won't be. 197 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: And I reckon the coaches that they've got the two 198 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: best coaches to lead this, because I'd be you know, 199 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: Chris Scott doesn't buy into it publicly. He's called us 200 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: old fogies for thinking that that's the way they coach. 201 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: Fair Enough, I can bevo, well, I can bevo. I'll 202 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: have a healthy dose of it, just served up and 203 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: slam it all over the joint.

I'd 207 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 2: then like to look at the players' faces, because I 208 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: said today there'd be probably twelve Western Bulldogs players who 209 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: have no wouldn't impact them one way or the other. 210 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: I'll guarantee you there's a couple in. 211 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: There that it'll be won't sleep that well tonight, that'll 212 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: be happening about. 213 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: Dogs have one of the last two done a GENS 214 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: and they are going well, so it's a high end. 215 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: Clay your shield out, so it's important they get store 216 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: back into that side as well.
