But 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.720 welcome for the first time to the official podcast in 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.680 this form, but certainly not the first time sitting beside 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.680 the great patch to record a Super Coach podcast. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.120 No, well, thank you for having me al And it 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.080 is very weird having done like ten almost ten years 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.119 with the podcast and never being in the same room 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.080 as the man next day. So the first one we've 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.160 done together in the same room, and it's for someone else, 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.200 but it's for someone else. It's a very good podcast 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:31.120 to be joining each other on. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.400 It's Oh, it's very nice to be able to see 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.720 your face in the flesh and being able to hang 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:37.400 out in person. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:44.039 And we can touch, we can touch.

But some of the piney 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.960 of Supercoach podcasting is these two gentlemen, of course, part 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.640 of that great institution. So great to have you on 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.079 board and just keep the flame alive a little bit 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.480 for the great job community which is still out there 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.560 still out there. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.680 Some of them have their own websites, most of them 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.560 are on Twitter.

As always, let's start with the 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760 rap and the heroes and villains from round twenty. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.440 Do you want to kick us off patch? 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.480 I think if my Twitter scanning was accurate over the weekend, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:45.800 you use your final trade. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.440 I did use, so we'll start with the villain and 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.560 the villain is sitting next to me. Hello, Lec Dog, Hello. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.440 So I used my final trade this week. I had 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.280 to get rid of Zach Fisher out. The rule was 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.720 if he was out out of a donut, he was out. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.160 Mckirschell was out as well, So two donuts, one trade. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.360 What's a going to do? Panic? 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:15.160 Anyway, Fisher had to go because I hope, think, maybe 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.080 pray that mckirsch will be back next week. I had 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.280 Zach Fisher's four hundred and seventy odd one thousand dollars 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.760 plus my big bank of five hundred dollars, and I 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.000 turned to the person I always turned to an a crisis, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.200 being lack, and asked him what the hell I should do? 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:31.000 Who do I bring in? 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:31.240 Like? 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.320 Surely is just Jesse Hogan right? And turns out it wasn't. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.880 Jesse Hogan was the correct answer. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:37.640 Do you want to talk? 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.800 Sogan scored ninety something on the weekend? 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:40.560 Yeah, something like that. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.040 Make it on my field. I had him on the bench. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.040 So do you want to tell all the wonderful people 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.160 at home who did end up coming in? 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.880 Well, there was a lot of back and forth. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:49.960 There was a lot of back and forth. 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.360 We've decided ultimately that having DPP mid forward cover would 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.920 be best suited for your specific circumstances. I think that's 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:58.480 still true. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:03:59.240 Yes, it is true. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.440 We had plenty of off like James Petling was thrown out. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:02.640 He scored one hundred and thirty three. 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.960 Was he was your first option? And I pushed back 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.960 saying he'll be the sub at some point. Still believe 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.760 that because GWS don't like him, he ran over to 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:14.120 Adam Kingsley Cat obviously, so he was out and we 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:14.760 ended up. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.200 With Mason Wood. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.200 Naturally, very good year for the most part he's had. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.600 He's a very very good draft like very like left 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.680 field draft selection, which is what is now your wheelhouse 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.880 is where I live on that front. But yeah, it 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.200 was just very funny that I had Mason Wood scoring 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.120 sixty something as every other secular player turned up and 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.000 touristened into shreds and yeah, so that he's my villain 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.120 this week. I just need to shout out the inside 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.880 Mids who managed to be the one of twenty seven 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.479 guesses on Twitter who actually figured out that it was 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.119 Mason Wood. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:57.400 Heroes Harry shecheesel with a VC was Chef's kiss. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.960 And score ranked do we talk about it? 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.080 It was twenty and three hundred and something. But like 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.240 I keep sliding backwards, I will continue sliding backwards in 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.160 rank as long as I have Mason Wood in my 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.240 side and with no more trades with slide and baby. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.000 And leg How did you go in round twenty and 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.479 maybe a quick recap of your season so far? 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.960 Yeah, so I finally got into the top one percent 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.920 for the year I've been. That's sort of my goal 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.719 each year is to finish in the top one percent. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.039 So we've hit that with four trades and two hundred 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.160 and something came in the bank, So feeling all right 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.599 twy five hundred and seventy two on the weekend, and 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.200 that's with some loopholing that didn't quite work. Hey, that's 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.720 the risk you take with loop holing. My year's been 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.560 pretty standard, to be honest, I always aim to sort 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.960 of jump the ranks from the buyers onwards. Outside of 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.039 round two and three, I never sideways any primo. So 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.200 that's probably partly why I've kind of maintained my rank 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.680 because I've just backed in Kristen Cherry and Brody Grundy 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.320 all year and they've just kind of done their job. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.880 I had no interest in sidewaysing them when Grundy had 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.560 a bit of perform at the start of the year. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.240 But yeah, outside of sideways, Like my first team for 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.800 some reason had Alex with It in it at the 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.039 end of round one and he scored twelve and was dropped, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.040 so he got axed. Mason Redmond got suspended and he 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.200 got axed, and then the next week Haden Young went 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.520 who in hindsight probably should have been a hold. But 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.960 aside from that, I've just backed in, bought in primos 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.200 when I felt like they would make money and score points. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.680 From that point logically that makes sense. Didn't trade out 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.080 any primos all year, and generally outside a bond, just 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.279 started guys that I thought that were a bit underpriced, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.520 and at this stage it's going pretty. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.640 Well and taking a big break in the middle of 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.760 the year to go over there. He's headed that impact 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.480 your possib. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.080 Positively because I either couldn't make trades and didn't have 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.200 access or forgot about it, or I didn't have time 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.880 to think about it. So I just made the first 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.240 trades that have that came to heapmind and to be honest, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.880 aside for some greedy points chasing ones with trading in zeros, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.839 it's worked. So I've had Hogan on the bench, Kerno, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.880 Hogan and Kerno swapping on the bench in the fard line. 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.839 I've had a board in guys like Walsh and Brashaw. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.640 I've had all year who's finally coming climbing good and 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.440 he's probably my hero for the week, to be honest. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.480 One hundred and thirty seven from him, So, yeah, life's 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.320 been pretty good lately, to be honest. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.920 Well, there's an interesting correlation that we found between like 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.640 being on a podcast and also being in Europe that 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.960 correlates very nicely the supercoach scoring. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.840 Yeah, history says between the two of us that if 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.480 you go overseas and you stop worrying about supercoach, like 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.320 worrying about podcasting and making your team run smoothly, it 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.720 just can't of organize itself and you do really well. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.120 And then I did further into it and looked at 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.120 my overall finishing position year on year, and every year 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.520 I haven't done a podcast, I've been in the top 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.920 one percent. Every year I have done a podcast, I 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.360 finished about twenty five thousand. So I don't know what 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.640 that tells you. Over it probably means I was overthinking 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.119 some things. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.720 Maybe hopefully we don't have to bring you down by 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.480 bringing you back on into the podcasting world. My quick 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.000 wrap up of the weekend a little bit of a 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.240 I've been sliding for a few weeks and sort of 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.360 resurrected things a tiny bit on the weekend twenty five 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.320 six A weeks good to get over the twenty five hundred, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:12.320 though there were some pretty big. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:13.520 Scores out there. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.720 Shot back up the rankings about forty spots to just 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.440 outside the top five hundred. So I guess that's probably 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.640 my goal if I can get back in the top 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.600 five hundred. Over the last month. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.360 Give achieved your first goal going past the Phantom. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.160 Going past the Phantom. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.600 That was a little more hmgoing the other way to 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:27.160 be honest, but. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.280 I mean, I'm sure we'll bring that up when it 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.920 comes on, which I think is the only reason you 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.440 brought him one of the podcast this week. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.360 There's no rookies or anything, but you just needed to gloat. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:36.880 I think that's very fair. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.679 I brought in Tristan Cherry this week, played about two 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.040 hundred and grand more for him than Nudileck, but still, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.760 finally that was a very good move put the VC 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.720 on him, so absolutely wrap with one hundred and fifty 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.760 one points first up from him. And that was my 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.720 second last trade going into the week. I think I 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.360 had I was going to get two or three doughnuts 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.880 as well. I've still got Fisher, I've still got m Kircher, 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.880 and neither of those guys obviously were playing. But I 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.760 used the medico Optimizer to somehow I've got Billy Dowling 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.520 from my midfield into my forward line, even though I 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:06.720 couldn't figure out how to do that. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.800 But there's some magic going on there for. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.520 People who have super Coach Plus and can use Optimizer, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.079 And it got Billy down to cover for me in 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.000 the forward line and brought in Humphreys a couple of 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.959 weeks ago, paid about ninety grand more for him than 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.880 most people did, but he provided some cover in the 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.600 back line for mckirchie. So that's a sort of helped 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.920 me scrape through this week. And then ideally those guys 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.240 will be back and put the cover back on the bench. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.080 But all in all, not too bad a week. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.720 In shout out as well another hero for me, Tim 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.560 Mitchell for trading out Jack Steele. Jack Steel is finally 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.400 good again. We were speaking about correlations. Tim Mitchell no 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.320 longer owning a player is great for their supercoach scoring. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.120 I feel like he's had a lot of trades that 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.079 have been Jack Steel related. 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.880 I feel like I see somehow gone through sixty trades. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.679 I don't know how, but he has. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:55.600 Was a film. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.640 I mean, there was just a few seventies scores. I mean, 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.040 Luke Ryan's an interesting one. I guess with Alex Pierce 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.400 out he maybe had to play a bit more key 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.880 defense he did, but yeah, score is obviously no I 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.320 near what he was doing in the first half of 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:06.560 the year. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.400 So just the seventy five from him, I guess. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.319 Most people sort of around just in the ranks have him, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.360 so it's not killing you. But yeah, if you had 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.240 someone else in that spot who was scoring over one hundred, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.320 like a Tom Stewart or someone. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.040 You'd be pretty happy. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:19.360 Yep. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:24.400 Absolutely, Now into the super coach news for the week, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.040 and I wouldn't say it's massive carnage that we've had 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.000 in recent times, but we do have a couple of 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.600 little things. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:30.960 And we need to be aware of. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.839 Jordan Ridley got subbed oubt in that famous Essenon game 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:39.560 on Saturday. Practice match, just the thirty three points at 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.880 that stage, and he's got a hip flexustrain and apparently 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.520 will miss at least this week's game against Frio. So 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.440 if you do have him, it's probably a trade at 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.000 this stage of the year if you can facilitate that. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.240 There was a little bit of news from the Mrrow 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.320 last night. A week for NAT five people anyone still 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.120 has him a week for body yuland which probably not 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.280 too many super coaches have him in their team, but 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.520 it might be good news for Alex Sexton, who might 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.360 be able to come back. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.880 In to replace him. Maybe maybe yeah, maybe I'm reading 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:10.200 there's enough. 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.760 Then maybe Matt five will challenge that one week at 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.560 the tribunal as well, So maybe there's good luck for 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.560 anyone that's got him. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.439 And the other one as I did mention Fisher and mccurchis, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.560 so mckirche was there with just general soreness. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.720 The general. We haven't actually had the General too often 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:25.199 this year, but. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.760 Well no, because now injuries have names because people are 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.000 a bit smarter, I guess. But when we started the 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.360 part it was General Sowness. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.320 General Sawns was a way to hide concussions before that 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.079 was well that, to be honest, it was. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.240 And then Zach Fisher we were worried to get dropped, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.520 and then he was out with a foot injury apparently. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.000 Yeah, I think that might have been away disguised the 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.680 fact that he'd been booted from the team. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.120 So yeah, we'll be a watch on those two guys. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.320 And then I guess Jordan Dawson missed a week with 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.920 concussion and then curvis as well. You would think they'll 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.120 be back this week. I guess they have to get 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.280 through training and prove it there they're ready to go 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.400 for this week. But yes, certainly Dawson will be has 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.600 been on a few benches, so people will be happy. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.880 I'll see him back on the lower end of the 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.559 scale because I think I'm the only owner in super 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.920 Coach that has these two players. Zane True was injured 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.640 in the first opening contest of that game, but apparently 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.160 it's only whitlash, not a concussion. I don't know. And 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.480 Joe Fonti I think his first name is Joe. He's 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.520 on my bench and he's been covered for the last 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.920 couple of weeks, but he didn't even get activated as 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.600 a sub. So I'm filled with dread. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.280 You've been named the last few weeks here human being? 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:32.800 Was he's a playing human being? 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:35.160 He got last week? 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.839 Who sub's not getting activated? What about the probably the 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.040 unluckiest man in super Coach. You're obviously big Carlton man 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.160 David Cunningham last week or was the sub never got activated? 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.680 Scored zero Super Coach points this week? Started injured in 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.520 his first contest of the game, subedubt with zero Super 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.160 Coach points. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.480 Yes, unfortunately, that's what we've come to express expect from 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.120 our friend David Cunningham. So I look forward to finding 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.880 out what he's doing for a job next year. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.240 And on that note, we're going to jump straight over 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:11.080 to South Australia to check in with the Phantom and now, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.040 as he does every week, dialing in from Parts Unknown, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.280 the Phantom joins us. Now, Fantom, I can't quite give 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.319 you the introduction that James does every week, but great 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.880 to have you on checking in. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.360 First of all, how did you go on the weekend? 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:25.400 What's your rank? 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.800 Looking like this is unbelievable. Our Peyton's gone back past 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.239 me in the overall rankings, booted James off the podcast, 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.719 taken the host chair. He's pretty up and about how 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.000 to go on me. I did slide down the rankings. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.360 You know my ranking, so don't ask me that out. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.199 But an indifferent week in Supercoach. No terrible scores from me, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.959 but no big scores from my pods either. Very tight 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.720 at the top end. I've still got my sights set 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.640 on you. You might have a bit more wigoroom with 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.520 your trades, but I reckon, I've got your covered now. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.040 Normally we have you on to talk about bubble boys 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.240 and rookies, but we've finally done it. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.840 After twenty rounds. There's no bubble boys. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.520 Even normally every week you look at the most traded 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.880 in players and people are finding cheapies room somewhere, but 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.839 there's really none around it all this week. But one 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.120 name that is on the trading list was a very 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.720 popular rookie at the start of the season, and I 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:25.320 know a fantom favorite, Maddi Roberts, South Australian product now 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.360 bouncing back producing massive scores for the Sydney Swes. I'm 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.200 sure when we get into some trade talk will bring 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.800 his name up at three hundred and eighty K. But 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.160 if you had a trade, you see someone you would 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.320 consider this week. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.320 Lair Zone Maddie Roberts. So there was some doubters over 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.360 there in Victoria, maybe one or two on this podcast 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.920 and ex members of the podcast who doubted his stand 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.480 for under eighty numbers. He played three games in his 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.320 draft year. We banged home about one hundred and seventy five, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.000 one hundred and eighty eight and two hundred and forty 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.680 yaries three totals as a June. He's always been a 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.360 bull bang that he's shown that this year. Given the 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.280 role across half back to start the year, he was 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.080 a great early season cashcow and now he's really flourishing. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.120 I guess with more license to get the foot in 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.520 three ninety k awkward price would be, you know, a 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.600 weird trade. Really, if you look by we get to 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:16.840 the end of the year, we look back and you've 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.080 traded Matt Robertson ahead of round twenty one, would be 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.920 a weird thing. But here's a proven score, a big, 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.640 big pod. When I say proven, I mean we know 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.720 he's a ball magnet. We know he's got a super 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.360 coach friendly game. It's just about the opportunity at top level. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.440 And hopefully Horse does stick with him because he could 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.480 bring him in. He's shown he's got the ceiling and 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.560 these are the types of guys and trades you need 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.640 to maybe win a league final. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.320 He was taking a lot of kickings on the weekend 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:45.600 as well. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.120 I was watching that Woodog's game as I sprang at 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.800 all around the swelling SCG. But the fact that he 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:56.240 was taking them really consistently Jake Lloyd ESQ role. Perhaps, 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:57.280 I mean. 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.960 What was most impressive there was that the fandom just 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.600 knew those samful under eight numbers straight up the top 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.840 of he said, no preparation whatsoever there. But I mean 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.200 the other name that we know, the Phantom and the 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.320 Lea loves is Billy Dowling and surprised to see him 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.280 pop up on the most traded out players this week 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.360 second most traded out players, nearly two thousand people trading 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:16.800 him out. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:17.960 What do you make of that. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.640 Interesting one? Well done to you out there. If you 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.720 do have enough trays to maybe make an upgrade, and 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.880 that's probably what you're doing there. You'd think six in 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.480 the sixties for Billy Dowling. On the weekend, Hawthorne torched 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.280 the Crows at Adelaide Oval. On Sunday, Billy did a 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.800 few nice things again, working up and down the ground. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.640 No big forty point last quarter finish off unfortunately, But again, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.120 if you do have the trades, got some cash in 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.400 the bank. Billy's made a lot of money now, so 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.960 that's probably what you're doing. But otherwise, here's good cover. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.920 He's showing his good cover, reliable cover with the ability 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.040 to throw in a ninety or one hundred. We saw 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.880 him with the first super coach tun of his career 0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.640 a few weeks ago. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.120 So if you can get to. 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.920 A premium, if you've got trades in cash, do it 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.520 otherwise easy. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:09.600 Coverlet throw this question, how would you value cover for 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.720 the last four rounds versus you know, just throwing it 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.600 out there and trading in someone like a Billy Dowling 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.600 if it can get you a hopefully at higher score 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:18.160 on field. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.359 Well, if I'm trading Dowling, it's to get more cover. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.600 Last year, I sort of jumped up the ranks at 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.040 the back end of the year because I had cover 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.280 on each line. I think I'd George Hewart in the 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.880 midfield and someone in the forward line. This year, I've 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.800 got Charlie Kurno to cover forward line, and I'm looking 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.320
