They were gallant, and 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.800 they certainly had a million inside fifties. But Collingwood's defense 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.760 standing up and then performing incredibly well. I think that 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.800 was a typical Collingwood going West win. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.280 Do you know that they travel well the Pies. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.880 Craig McCrae has not won, has not lost a game 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.240 where he had to fly West in his career as Collinwood. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.800 Fly has never lost a game in flying West. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.160 Yes, right, that's why he's called Fly. I presume yes, 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.680 loves the planes, so Collingwood stays number one B. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.000 I'll find out favorite. Is it his favorite movie? 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:18.720 Just keep going? 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.000 Maybe Fly the Fly? 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.360 Just keep going, I'll find out, Just keep going. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:24.679 Okay. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.200 I put the Brisbane lines down a spot for drawing 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.119 with North melon. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.120 It was a pretty ordinary performance. A Lockie Neil post 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.440 game said that we couldn't have played much worse. But 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.559 North Melbourne played really well in his post game, and 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.199 I think he sort of corrected him way through it. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:40.080 Oh wait, sound really bad? 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:40.280 Ques? 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:40.640 Yes? 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:40.960 So? 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.199 And I've got the despite their loss. I've got the 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.720 Bulldog second because I think Brisbane's loss deserved a gang on. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.160 So the Bulldogs lost to Gold Coast and Brisbane drew 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.480 with North Melbourne, but the Dogs have usurped Brisbane on 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:54.240 the power rankings. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.880 What's worse drawing with North Melbourne or losing to Gold 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.640 Coast in Darwin where they haven't lost in. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.439 Four in here. In this situation with Brisbane, I would 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.880 still bank a little bit of form rather than a 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:06.720 snap judgment off. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.440 But I would argue that Brisbane's form has not been 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.400 as great as the ladder represents. I think they've had 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.080 one really good win over sin Kilda. They had the 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.880 good the Pineapple Grapple was better than the margin suggested. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.720 Other than that a bunch of close games. Bad lost 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:20.319 to Collingwood. 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.280 This is where it'd be objective. But if Brisbane was 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.160 playing the Western Bulldogs this weekend at Marvel or Gabber, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.440 I would be picking the Brisbane line still when. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.199 I would be picking based on whether would you. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.760 Pick it this weekend? If Brisbane was playing Western Bulldogs 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.080 this week David at Marvel. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.880 So apparently I gits Back to the Future reference. So 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.000 I've been going through a lot of different threats here. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.760 So I think Mick Malthouse called him fly Bags. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.520 That's his Twitter handle, Yes, but I think he called 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.080 him fly Bags as a reference to Marty McFly from 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.720 Back to the Future because McCrae McFly. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.559 Oh yeah, I thought below, yeah, yeah, below, Yeah, I 0:10:58.559 --> 0:10:58.920 think fly. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.360 I think McFly. That's it, so I think, and now 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.160 it's now they've dropped the milk and now it's just fly. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:09.679 Right, Okay, okay, sure, he doesn't really remind me of 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.120 Marty McFly otherwise. Yeah, I mean, he loves skateboarding on 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.000 the back of a truck. But you know, other than that. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.240 I would tip. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.880 The Oh it's a good ques, it's a good so 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.360 that this is my point. I think Brisbane just deserved 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.319 to go down a spot because of their poor performance. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.240 And the problem with the rankings this week was that 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.560 second third give my answer, I'm letting you think. Sorry, sorry, 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.880 sorry being professional. Sorry, Second and third and fourth all 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.559 lost or didn't win rather than Brisbane, and then Hawthorne 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.880 beating Melbourne wasn't overly convincing. Finally beat them for the 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.800 first time in what eight years? But they stay fifth, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.320 gold Coast moving up because I do credit they win 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.319 over the Bulldogs, which forces. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:46.440 Out of laid. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.560 Now the problem was ben My rankings were too correct 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.200 last week. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.240 So that change. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.800 Oh my god. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.720 Well, you know, I think i'd tip the dogs. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.480 So there you go, I tip the dogs. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.960 And then how much do you read into percentage at 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.199 this time of the year as well, because the Dogs 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.560 is percentages on hundre twenty two in Brisbane sitting on 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.200 top of the ladder with one hundred and thirteen. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.400 Yeah, there's no great percentages. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.680 No, I think there's something too that they have not 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.559 been and they've talked about this. It SEMs like every 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.000 week there's a press conference where Harris Andrews comes out 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.000 and says, oh, you know, we know we're banking the wins, 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.960 but we know we can play better than this, you know, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:16.680 and all that stuff. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.480 And the reason behind the percentage is offensively, Actually, they're 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.760 not scoring brilliantly at the moment. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:22.680 They're not banking the percent engine. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.760 Now the percentage doesn't matter because of the draw in. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.320 Because in the last four weeks they've gone seventy one, 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.439 sixty six, one hundred and eight against set Kilda, which 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.840 was their best win, then fifty three against Collingwood. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.480 It's got some problems there, slightly ex but I think 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.720 like it was a really close, exciting weekend where we 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.160 didn't learn an enormous amount. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.360 No, I agree with that, you know. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.040 I think Carlton's all right. I think Carlton are the 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.120 best team out of the eight right now. The Giants 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.960 showed again that they have even if they have system problems, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.520 they have so much talent sometimes that it just works 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.439 for them and they love playing in Geelong. Sydney is 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.280 so untrustable, but you have to wait and see how 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:57.880 good they can be when they get their players back. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.840 Untrustworthy is the most interesting team out of the eighth 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.760 though for me right because I've still got them down 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.040 there fourteenth, I still think I want to see them 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.640 do it against a good team. They've beaten a lot 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.560 of teams below them on the ladder, beaten teams. They 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.360 probably should be beating Sidney maybe their best win so far, 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:13.719 and they were pretty convincing in it too. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.680 And then this is the thing with Essendon, So they've 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.120 got a percentage of ninety point eight. Yes at the moment, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.000 but that is the Swan and Saints Dockers and Carlton. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.840 Carlton's percentage is actually quite good, yes, way better than 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:25.200 the bombs. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.800 Carlton centerge was good when they was up and four 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:27.560 or whatever it was. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.480 So you know, they played a bunch of close games 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.920 and finally banks some wins the percentage even though they 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.520 had that big loss to Adelaide. So Essenton, their defense 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.400 has actually been around since round four, been very good. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.640 Keep in mind that since round four they haven't played 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.959 many good teams. I think Collingwood and a couple of 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.640 others that are okay, and then a bunch of bad 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.840 teams they've beaten. So you want to see estdon against 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.520 the properly good teams. They got the Bolldogs this week, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.240 which is a great test because I really rate the 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.040 Bulldogs and see if you're just seen with the rankings 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.040 and if their defense can stand up again, Zach reed, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:55.760 looking fantastic. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:56.840 That's really good. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.960 They actually might be more than just mediocre. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.319 What about the Geelong and Giants game, David, which you 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.320 would have watched very closely as part of your Sunday agenda. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.960 There did we learn much about either team? 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:09.200 It did? 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.320 It felt like it felt like a final at GMHBA 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.720 State actually would be interesting if that's that would play, 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.679 and then the Cats would be zipping to in finals 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.160 at GMHBA Pro probably they would be. Are you convinced 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.800 about the Giants? It took a Jesse Hogan seven goal 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.920 hall to yeah, but it wins a win. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.880 I'm pretty well they I tipped them for the flag 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.040 Brix season, so I need to stay with them. I 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.800 wasn't like I was concerned about their losses recently, but 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.960 not like alarmed. I still think they can turn. It's 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.240 a it's a long season. I think this was probably 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.120 a bit more in line with where I thought they 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.200 would be, sort of matching it to toe with Geelong. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.560 In Geelong it's a pretty good efforts, so that might 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.000 get them back on track. They have got a lot 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.840 of injuries though, like especially in the middle of the ground. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.239 It's all in the one you know, the Kelly Canelio. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.880 They're sort of just Bedford will come back hopefully so, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.320 but it's just I think they're a bit hamstrung at 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:03.680 the moment. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.680 Jake Stringer exactly less hamstring genuinely has So. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.360 That's just nominative determinism at work, isn't it. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.400 Yes, Jake Stringer just has to be injured at points. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.280 I like it. I think they're going well. Yeah that 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.160 was the confidence burst drind Ear, just to keep the 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:21.600 faith in them. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.000 Yeah, I think that's fair. Look, you look at the 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.440 Giants losses this year Hawthorne and Tazzy, Adelaide and Adelaide 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.120 Bulldogs in Canberra, Sydney at the SCG, pretty reasonable losses. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.840 They are a fine team that is incredibly talented at 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.440 times and has some worse midfield than everyone. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.560 Thing is the Sydney look after the performance from Sydney 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.760 on the weekend. How does that Giants lost to Sydney 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.000 look that looks that was the outlier out of that group. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.560 That's the weird sort of counterbalance of yeah, they beat 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.080 gel Long and Gelong, but geez the week before. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.360 It looks even worse now, doesn't it. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.800 Because and Joey was really strong on First Crack last 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.040 night saying Sydney at the moment don't look like they 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.480 have got a brand and it's part of injury. It's 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.000 part of the injury discussions, out of the growing pains 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.600
