1 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the first AFL Supercoach Live team 2 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: show for twenty twenty five. OL Peyton here joined by 3 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: my colleague Matt Forrest. Welcome aboard for a new era 4 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: of live Supercoach coverage. We're going to be doing this 5 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: every Thursday pretty much for the next twenty four weeks 6 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: or so, so buckle in or twenty four weeks, I guess, 7 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: or maybe longer give you to know what the AFL 8 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: is doing with the fiction, but we'll get to that 9 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: in a second. But basically, the basic gist of the 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: show is we're just going to talk about the teams 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: which have just dropped. 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: Will reveal all the big. 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Ins and outs and all the names you need to 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: know for Super Coach rookies, obviously is a huge thing 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: for us at this stage of the season. 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: But you're just having a quick glance at the teams 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: a second to go. 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: There's plenty to talk about, even though there's only two 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: games now in opening Round. But welcome aboard, and how 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: are you feeling about footy starting again? Maybe one day 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: later than we thought it was going to be, but 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: you're mighty Hawks. Will kick things off at the SCG 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: tomorrow night. 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: Thanks, So it's good to be here. 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, I'm a little bit disappointed that 26 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: there's no footing. 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: To start the season. 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: We'll obviously see Hawthorne and Sydney do battle at the 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 4: SEG tomorrow night, so it's not that much waiting around 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 4: and having an extra game in round three certainly great 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 4: for super Coach. It opens it up a little bit 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: in terms of those players that had that early season 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: by that we can now pick, so there is some 34 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 4: positives to it all. 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: But yeah, very exciting to have footy back. 36 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 4: We've been counting down the days for quite a while 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 4: now and it's finally here, so that's cracking. 38 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I should mentioned off the top, of course that Supercoach 40 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: officially kicks off in Round one, so these opening round games, 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: only two of them now, don't officially count towards the season. 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: The first lockout is before that Richmond Carlton game next Thursday, 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: so you don't have to pay about making sure your 44 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: team is in befotnight's game, but still worth watching. 45 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: Obviously you can pick a team. 46 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: You can just still make unlimited changes up until next week, 47 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: and those opening round points don't count towards anyone's rankings 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: or anything, but they will come into effect when we're 49 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: calculating price changes and things like that. So if someone 50 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: has a really big score tonight, that will affect what 51 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: happens to their price, So especially when some of those 52 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: cheaper guys, there's something that we can look. 53 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: Out for over this weekend. 54 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: But you did touch on it that we should mention 55 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: the news that's come out just today and obviously over 56 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: the last few days. 57 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: Thoughts. 58 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: We should mention thoughts to anyone watching in Queensland's halfas 59 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: Queensland with a cyclone bearing down must be pretty horrible 60 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: just knowing that it's coming. 61 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: But obviously the AFL's decided not to play. 62 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: Footy up there this weekend, which I think is probably 63 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: the smart move and hopefully everybody can stay safe. But 64 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: so what is happening with those two games. The AFL 65 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: has released a statement today saying the post boned opening 66 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: round match between the Brisbane Lines and Geelong has been 67 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: rescheduled for Round three of the twenty twenty five Toyota 68 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: AFL Premiership in the game between Gold Coast Suns and 69 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: Essen and has been set for round twenty four. So, 70 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: as you said, Geelong and Brisbane had the buy originally 71 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: in round three and they were going to play an 72 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: opening a round. Now they're just playing in round three instead, 73 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: so effectively that just becomes part of round three, part 74 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: of a regular season, and we'll the super coach rules 75 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: sort of. Any changes will be announced when everything's locked away. 76 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: So I don't have that officially yet, but I assume 77 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: if that's just part of the season, you know, effectively, 78 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: we just scratched that whole thing and that game has 79 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: been played regularly as if it was just part of 80 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: Round three to begin with. So yeah, as you say, 81 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: makes it a lot easy to pickture Along and Brisbane players 82 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: for sure, and potentially even Collingwood and Sydney guys as well, 83 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: who do still have a buy in round three. So 84 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: it's still the best that end round, but with only 85 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: the two teams missing. Not not as heinus as we 86 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be. But the other game 87 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: is still a little bit interesting what the AFL does without, 88 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: So they've announced it will be part of round twenty four, 89 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: so Gold Coast and ESSLA will play twice. They both 90 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: still have a boy in the Gold Coasting round two 91 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: Essen in round four, so i'd probably be steering clear 92 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: of those guys still in the opening team. And then well, 93 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: as I said, well, you know, the Super Coach official 94 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: accounts and everything will announcing two what we do when 95 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: we know exactly what's happening with that game later in 96 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: the year, So maybe you know, being following the finger 97 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: on the poles closer than me. Do we know exactly 98 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: when this game is going to be played? They're just 99 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: sort of we know that Gold coastin Essna will effectively 100 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: play two games in round twenty four, so that's Grand 101 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: final week in Supercoach, but we assume that that sort 102 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: of extra game will be a bit later than the 103 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: rest or do we know exactly how that's going to work. 104 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 4: It's still not clear exactly how it's going to be played. 105 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: There's an expectation that it's going to be the last 106 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: game of the season. However, the AFL isn't set in stone. 107 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: With that, we obviously know that the last third of 108 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: the campaign is a floating fixture in the AFL doesn't 109 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: set anything in stone until much closer to the dates, 110 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: so that still falls into place. The expectation and the 111 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: most likely scenario is that it does get played in 112 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 4: that round the last game of Round twenty four, which 113 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 4: will be on the Wednesday or the Thursday of ahead 114 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: of the pre finals, by to try and give the 115 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: teams as long as a break as possible going into 116 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: who the hopefully a finals campaign for Bombers or Suns fans. 117 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: There is the chance that it is played early on 118 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 4: in the round and then a cultness and then game 119 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: of the MCG closes Round twenty four, or the game 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: between Gold Coast and Port Adelaide potentially as the last 121 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: game of the season. That those two options are much 122 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: less likely than Gold Coast and Essenon being played Round 123 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: twenty four to close the season as potentially a dead 124 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: rubber could be, or it could be a real grand 125 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 4: stand finished for either side who are desperate to try 126 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 4: and clinch a finals birth. 127 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, as you say, the AFL, probably we probably won't 128 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: know that one for a little while. Maybe that they'll 129 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: hold off, and it might depend how the clubs are 130 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: actually tracking and what they think is going to happen 131 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: and when they actually schedule that game. So we won't 132 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: know one hundred percent for super Coach what that means 133 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: until we know exactly when the game is going to 134 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: be played. 135 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: But we will announce it as soon as we know. 136 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think my thinking going to the season 137 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: would be, yeah, probably not going to be rushing to 138 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: pick Gold Coast and Eston players. We know they're going 139 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: to have the early buy and we're not sure what's 140 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: happening later on in the year. So but we'll get 141 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: into the teams that are playing in opening rounds, So 142 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the Swans and the Hawks, as you say, kick everything 143 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: off and if we. 144 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: Call those up, we should be able to see those teams. 145 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: I should mention too before we just get into this 146 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: that we might answer some questions too, So if you've 147 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 1: got any questions, to leave them in the comments and 148 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: we can try and get to those later on. But 149 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: looking here was at the Swan So we heard early 150 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: today that they have an answered debutante, which we love 151 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: in supercoaching, that is Tom Hanneley. He's in the final 152 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: spot on the bench there, so I'm not sure if 153 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: that indicates whether he might be the sub or not. 154 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: We'll find out that when the final teams come in 155 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: and now before the game. But he's a I think 156 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: pretty much a small forward one hundred and nine en 157 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: k and supercoach in the midfield. I think he averaged 158 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: about fifty eight points in the VFL last year. Was 159 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: a mid season draft, mid season draft pick up by 160 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: this ones last year, so I'm not sure he's would 161 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: be all scrambling to get him out of supercoach teams. 162 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: But I guess the benefit of. 163 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Round zero is were gonna have a look at him 164 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: and if he puts up a decent score like blake 165 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: House last year, maybe he's a free hit for us. 166 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: But anything else jump out to you in that Sydney lineup. 167 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 3: Not really. 168 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 4: I think we're There's a gonna be a plenty of 169 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 4: movement in terms of players coming, opportunities coming to guys, 170 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: and especially the younger crew like Anger Sheldrick. 171 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: Corey Warner will get his chance as well. 172 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 4: Obviously some serious big names missing out of that side, 173 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: Callum Mills like McDonald, Erarrel Gordon with that nasty ankle fracture, 174 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: Robbie Fox and Harry Cunningham as well, So there's plenty 175 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: of guys missing that with a lot of experience. That 176 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: side does look very different to what it did on 177 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: Grand Final day, but it's a new coach and you 178 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: were at the Swans and exciting to see how they 179 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 4: look and how they structure up, especially in that forward half. 180 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: With Tom mccarton named a' center half forward. I know 181 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 4: he's not Super Coach relevant, but it does change the 182 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: look of that forward line. 183 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Notable Brodie Grundy had a bit of an injury clare, 184 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: but he's there. Anger Sheldrick a popular super Coach big 185 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: named on the bench. We'll hopefully, yeah, as I opening around, 186 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: a good chance to get a look at exactly what 187 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: his role is. 188 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: Hopefully he gets some time in the midfield. 189 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: And Ben Patten's another one worth noting no relation but 190 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: I'll claim him named it half back former as Saint 191 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: delisted and picked up by this one's in the just 192 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: sort of over the summer in the SSP period. I 193 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: think he's a cheap defender, which we don't have many of. 194 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: So he's a forward mid TPP actually which might come 195 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: in dy at some stage, but definitely an option for 196 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the defensive bench. About one hundred and thirty three k 197 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: in super Coach, So yeah, we're interesting to see how 198 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: he goes and we wouldn't be expect him score heaps 199 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: of points, but he probably should have a pretty secure role, 200 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: which is a big tick when we're pretty short of 201 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: rookies in the back line. Now, if we go to 202 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: the Hawks, there's some more interesting stuff here, and you're 203 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: a big Hawks man has already mentioned, so you know 204 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: we'll try and keep it to under. You know, we 205 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: won't go for too long. But what are you like here? 206 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: And the one that jumped straight out to me is 207 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: James sisterly named on the wing. So what do we 208 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: make of that? I've picked him in my back line 209 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: and supergo traping. He's just going to fight around, taking 210 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: heaps of inter set marks. But I don't know if 211 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I really love him as a wigman. 212 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 4: Well, he spent most of the preseason training down back 213 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 4: alongside barras Battle, Scrimshaw Frost, and he's looked quite good. 214 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 4: He has pinch hit in the in the Ford line 215 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 4: a little bit, just to keep him fresh in that 216 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 4: sort of role in case you know it's a it's 217 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 4: a break glass. 218 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: In case of emergency. 219 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: But if you look at that forward line structure, and 220 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: I know Hawthorne's playing funny buggers here by naming you know, 221 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: will Dane Ford pocket when we know he's going to 222 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: start the center bounce Harry Morrison's not a center forward. 223 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: There's a lot of a lot of flux in that side, 224 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 4: and there's gonna be a lot of changes. However, I 225 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: think a lot of signs point to Cicily spending a 226 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 4: fair chunk of time in the Ford line, mainly due 227 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: to the Sam Frost selection. I know he's named on 228 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: the bench, but he's a he's a lockdown back. Battle 229 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: is going to play key defensive role as well. You know, Barrass, Scrimshaw, 230 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 4: they're all tools wetls down there as well. Hardwick's named 231 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 4: at full back, but he'll start in the forward line. 232 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 4: But I think that the lack of Gunston and the 233 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: lack of especially Max Ramsden in the Ford line, who 234 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 4: wasn't even a named on in the emergencies, points to 235 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 4: Cicily spending at least half a game up for it. 236 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: I would expect, yeah, well again, you know, thank goodness 237 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: for opening round because I wouldn't wanted to go into 238 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: round one with this situation. 239 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: So at least we'll get to see it in action. 240 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: But sounds like I might be might be looking for 241 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: another option in defense there, because that would be even 242 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: if he plays in defense a lot of the time 243 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be very nervous every week watching to 244 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: see what the coach does with him. And okay, so 245 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: we'll jump into the Sunday game. Now I've sort of 246 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: forgotten about this. I've gone a whole summer not worrying 247 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: about it. But now we have the return. Foota's back 248 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: and the extended interchange bench is back for these Sunday games. 249 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: So we'll find out on Friday night, I guess, you know, 250 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: five pm or something on Friday who makes the final 251 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: cut And because there's a few names on here that 252 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: I'll be very closely watching. In fact, two plays in 253 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: my team on the extended interchange for the Giants seat 254 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: and James the League and Connor Stone. You know, sort 255 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: of the on field lineup is pretty much what do 256 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: you expect there? But looking at those names on the interchange, 257 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: do you reckon there are a chance to play or 258 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: in danger? 259 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: I think there's going to be. There'll be a couple 260 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: of debutantes, which is really exciting. I really I think 261 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 4: Leka Lee is going to be in that side kind 262 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 4: of Stone. Neither of them are debutantes, but I think 263 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: they're both in that twenty three. I'm expecting a debut 264 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: from James Leak one hundred and nineteen k defender should 265 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 4: be a great selection in you, super coach, but he 266 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be taking into a midfield 267 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 4: sort of role. He's trained there most of the summer 268 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 4: and has looked quite impressive, so I'm very excited to 269 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 4: potentially see him there. But a debut for Olie Hannaford 270 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: might be out of the picture. I don't think he's 271 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 4: in the best twenty three as it stands. Cody Angob 272 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: is one that if you look at him on the wing, 273 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 4: he's definitely a chance there. 274 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: So he was a bolter in the. 275 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: Draft if you remember, no one really had him inside 276 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 4: that top forty, and then the Giants really went early 277 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: in the twenties, so he could be a really exciting 278 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 4: player and a wing there. But yeah, there's plenty of 279 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 4: plenty of options for those cheaper players early in the 280 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 4: season for the Giants. With four sort of rookie prize 281 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: players named on the bench. 282 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: Yeah hopefully, Yeah, most of them make the count. 283 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: And then if we jump into the Pies as much 284 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: supergot relevant here. I don't think Harry Perriman may be 285 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: the one named on a wing, but yeah, we think 286 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: he'll spend plenty of time around the ball. 287 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah much else there to note. Ed Allen again on 288 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: the extended bench. 289 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: He was obviously talked up a lot by I think 290 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: Nick Dacos was the one who said he could be 291 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: a superstar early in the summer, but I didn't get 292 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: a huge run during the during the Amy game, so yeah, 293 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: i'd be if he really does make the cut, I 294 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: reckon he's a classic sub candidate. 295 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a bit worried about Ed Allen if he 296 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 4: does end up in the side. He's you know, he's 297 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 4: prime for that sort of either half forward wing role, 298 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 4: which isn't a huge scoring role for young players, or 299 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: he's a chance for that sub best So. 300 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: Still touch and go whether he's in the best twenty three. 301 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: The Pies confirmed that Tim Memory is going to be 302 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: in the side even though he's on the extended bench. 303 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: He plays for game, but that wasn't unexpected, so that 304 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: adds a bit of heights that pis forward line. But 305 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 4: Ed Allen's the only one that I'm keeping an eye 306 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 4: on is that sort of rookie price player potentially coming 307 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 4: into that side, and I really like him I'm a 308 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: big fan of him, but there's just a couple of 309 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 4: names ahead of him at this point. 310 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Perryman is one that obviously scored really well 311 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: against the Tigers in the Amy series. Might see how 312 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: he goes against that a little bit tougher opposition. No 313 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: disrespect to how Richmond's traveling at the moment, but yeah, 314 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: we're watch him here because he's a nice price in 315 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: the back line and he's sort of in my basket 316 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: of options if Sicily is not going to be there, 317 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: So he's someone that I'll be watching closely. I think, 318 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: not a huge accumulator of the ball, but if he's 319 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: got a good role, lays a lot of tackles, so 320 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good starting point for super Coach average 321 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: sort of in the seventies last year, but has averaged 322 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: in the nineties before when he said more of a 323 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: midfield rol So that's something I'll be watching for this year. Now, 324 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: time for something that is going to be a regular 325 00:13:52,160 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: segment every week on this show. Welcome to this week's 326 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Best Bets segments powered by It Better. And I was 327 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: looking through the odds earlier today was and come up 328 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: with a couple of the ones. So tell me what 329 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: you think of these will day. Now we mentioned that 330 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: he was named in the Ford pocket. We probably don't 331 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: expect him to line up there but two dollars ten 332 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: to kick a goal at any time during that game? 333 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: What do you think of those eyes? 334 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, well he kicked a couple in the pruki against 335 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: Geelong down gm HbA. He spent a fair bit of 336 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: time of the ball and yeah, he's definitely a chance there. 337 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 4: I think he ended up having four or five shots 338 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 4: on goal and converted two of them, so certainly a 339 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: chance there. 340 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: You don't mind that. 341 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking also in that game, Angus Sheldrick for big 342 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: the Fansom tipped me off on this one. 343 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: He's a massive Angus children fan. 344 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: The dollar ninety to have twenty plus disposals, Harry Perriman, 345 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: if you think you can get a fair bit of 346 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: the pill five bucks, pretty good odds to get him 347 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: twenty five or more possessions against the Giants. And I 348 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: was looking at the futures as well, and I did 349 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: look up the Tigers under or over wins for the year. 350 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: To win less than two and a half games a 351 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: dollar eighty five and that could be easy money. I 352 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: reckon as sad as it makes me to say. 353 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: It as a Tigers fan, he must be distraught at that, 354 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 4: the fact that you take the unders. 355 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, might. 356 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: Get something out of it, and we get you know, 357 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: we've got got some good draft picks probably at the 358 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: end of the year. 359 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, don't mind that. But that's our best bets 360 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: for the week. 361 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: And always remember what is Danby really costing you for 362 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: free and confidential support called the number on the screen, 363 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: or visit the website. 364 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: All right, now, I did mention some questions or we've 365 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: got a little slightly he looked us. 366 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: He's got us all set up beautifully for the first 367 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: show of the year. And there are a couple here, 368 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: let's see, Well, Reco's are some pyramid A good pick. 369 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: I actually think he is a good pick. 370 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: I just I suppose think he's probably more of a 371 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: kind of a ninety to ninety five average, maybe rare 372 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: than a top end premium, but that's still pretty good value. 373 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: And he certainly someone will be considering if Sisily's out, 374 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: which it looks like he might be. So we touched 375 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: on that. What do you think going away from this game? 376 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: But a question here about Joel Fraser another value option 377 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: in defense. He's another probably hundred grand cheaper than a 378 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: Perimid type. If you think you could score similarly, certainly 379 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: prehaps some money to maybe do something else somewhere else 380 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: in the ground. 381 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: What have you liked what you've seen from him in 382 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: the pre season. 383 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have. 384 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: I think he's a very good player and playing off 385 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 4: that half back, it's a slightly different role than what 386 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: we saw last year. The one concern I do have 387 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 4: is Bailey Dale sort of missing time. Ed Richard's missing 388 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: a bit of time. Both of them being that sort 389 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 4: of athletic kick first half back options and been the 390 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: main distributors in the past couple of seasons at the Bulldogs, 391 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 4: so that's one thing that I'm watching for. 392 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 3: Both have been. 393 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 4: Nagged with a couple of calf issues. I expect both 394 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: play Round one, but if Fraser scores well earlier, you 395 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: could easily downgrade from a Perriman or a Jaden short. 396 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 4: If either of them start poorly, you know, banking extrae hundred, 397 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty k and load up somewhere else. 398 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 3: So that is an option there. 399 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: I'm not completely sold on starting him, but I have 400 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: seen him in the pas and he's looked really good, 401 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: and the roles there for him. If one of those 402 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 4: two guys missus time to start the year, is certainly 403 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 4: an option, but a slightly riskier one around that price point. 404 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. 405 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: And yeah the Bond did talk him up, so that's 406 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: a plus in his favor. We're still in the back 407 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: line question here. Would you take Nazaiah Wagan, Miller or 408 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: makes Homes. So I guess Holmes jumps back into calculations, 409 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: maybe a bit more than he was given. There's no 410 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: buy now for the cattle. That's how I thinks are 411 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: playing out. So yeah, I mean love his role. I 412 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: love Nasira as well, so I think they're both good picks. 413 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: But if you had to choose one, who do you like? 414 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: I've got both, So yeah, I think I had a 415 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Nasaire before I had Holmes. I think that was mainly 416 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: due to the buyers, But I still think that rebounding 417 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: role off half back, and NAS's elite by foot. He 418 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: never wastes an opportunity, so I think him, but just 419 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: just slightly over Homes. I think Homes in the midfield 420 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: is going to work really well with you know, that 421 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: main guy getting the ball, and he's so clean by 422 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: foot as well, so it can't fault him. It was 423 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: interesting to seem as in the center bounces for basically 424 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: the whole second half in that Amy game, but hopefully 425 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: just Ross throwing a few magnetes around to see you 426 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: see what they look like, and I noticed Le Montagna. 427 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: Of course, super Coach Ambassador this year had Jack Sinclea 428 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: still in his team, so I took him out, you know, 429 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: when that injury news came through early in the preseason, 430 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: and haven't really thought about him since then, but it 431 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: looks like he might play in Round one, so maybe 432 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: I should be thinking about him again, although always a 433 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: question mark with someone with an interrupted preseason, but you 434 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: have really struggled with those top end defenders, but now 435 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: there's maybe a few more options. But that's all the 436 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: questions for today, and thanks everybody for tuning in for 437 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: the first episode of our Live Team. 438 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: Showed plenty of news and interests there even with just 439 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: the two games. We'll be back next Thursday. 440 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: We'll have nine games to talk about and the Supercoach 441 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: will be kicking off for real, so it might be 442 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more stressful time, but more exciting as well, 443 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: so I enjoy the opening round fixtures and that we 444 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: can make as many changes as we'd like to our 445 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: supercoach teams for next week. 446 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: Fuzz, thanks for coming on. 447 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: Been a wealth of information, so looking forward to doing 448 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: this every week for the next twenty four rounds. 449 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: Com White Owl. 450 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: Thanks awesome, Thanks guys, Thanks everybody for watching.
