1 00:00:00,409 --> 00:00:16,300 Speaker 1: This is Brownies Podcast! Welcome to Brownie's Podcast. My God. 2 00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:19,409 Speaker 1: Let's listen to Brownie's voice first. Say hello to everyone. 3 00:00:19,450 --> 00:00:23,770 Speaker 2: Jeez, it's a magnificent day it's been. A magnificent couple 4 00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:26,690 Speaker 2: of days. It's nearly the greatest day of my life. 5 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:29,540 Speaker 2: I know I've got three children, which I love. And 6 00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: three premierships. And three premierships, but as a supporter... It's 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,860 Speaker 2: a different feeling, especially when you can celebrate for the 8 00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: whole second half when you know your team's going to win. 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,740 Speaker 3: It was astonishing. 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: As a Fitzroy supporter growing up, the last thing you 11 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: do is expect to be in finals, let alone grand finals. 12 00:00:47,659 --> 00:00:50,230 Speaker 3: But it was amazing. It was amazing. What a day. 13 00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: Brother, how's your voice going? 14 00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:54,490 Speaker 3: My voice is going okay. Not as bad as JB's. 15 00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:55,650 Speaker 1: Not much better, though. 16 00:00:56,370 --> 00:01:00,090 Speaker 3: Great grand final. I know it was very one-sided and 17 00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:03,700 Speaker 3: we collectively wanted a close game, but they were just battle-hardened. 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,940 Speaker 3: They were hungrier. They were better structured up behind the footy. 19 00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:09,300 Speaker 3: It was a dismantling, wasn't it? 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,300 Speaker 1: Absolutely. A bludgeoning. 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: A bludgeoning, yeah, it really was. From the second quarter on, 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: the only doubt to you, Brisbane were really dominant. for 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,259 Speaker 3: the whole first half. 24 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,459 Speaker 2: But it was just, you know, we see it so 25 00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,580 Speaker 2: often in games and obviously in big games, they wasted opportunities. 26 00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:25,900 Speaker 2: And you think, oh, is this going to come back 27 00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: to bite them? Obviously then from Alpho to the second quarter, 28 00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:31,610 Speaker 2: they put that theory to bed when they quickly took 29 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:33,470 Speaker 2: full control on the scoreboard, didn't they? 30 00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:37,210 Speaker 3: You know, John Longmore's only lost in his coaching tenure 31 00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:41,730 Speaker 3: six games by 10 goals or more. Is that right? 32 00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:44,030 Speaker 3: And three of them have been in grand finals. 33 00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: That's a wild stat. 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Well, you actually look at it, the Hawks... In CR 2014, 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,390 Speaker 2: 63 points. Bulldogs was 22 points. It was a bit 36 00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:52,990 Speaker 2: close though. 37 00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:56,230 Speaker 3: In Geelong, 81 points. And on the weekend, 60 points. 38 00:01:56,910 --> 00:01:58,530 Speaker 3: The losses by Sydney. 39 00:01:58,570 --> 00:02:02,110 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what, the Bloods culture, you've got 40 00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: to be questioning, is the Bloods culture becoming an urban myth? 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: Like I know, I'm not trying to be provocative. 42 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,980 Speaker 2: Because you don't want to dance on people's graves and 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,740 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff when it comes to the 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,350 Speaker 2: football graves and grand finals. But culture... For me, it 45 00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:21,270 Speaker 2: was about grand final day. It was 2.30 on grand 46 00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:23,070 Speaker 2: final day. And the reason I say that is because 47 00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:26,420 Speaker 2: Lee Matthews reminded us about that weekly. He goes, every 48 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:29,980 Speaker 2: decision we make is about 2.30 on grand final day 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: and can you survive that theatre? Can you survive that pressure? 50 00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:38,550 Speaker 2: Everyone talks about the Bloods culture, the famed Blood culture. 51 00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:41,989 Speaker 2: which was on show in 2005 and 2006 in those 52 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:44,370 Speaker 2: grand finals. One win, one loss, but they were close 53 00:02:44,389 --> 00:02:47,770 Speaker 2: against West Coast. But since then, you have to question it. 54 00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:48,549 Speaker 1: No, you do. 55 00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: I think they've got psychological demons very, very badly. A 56 00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:56,700 Speaker 3: couple of players have dished up career worst performances on 57 00:02:56,740 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: grand final day. Superstars of the competition and then cannot 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,710 Speaker 3: get the job done. Isaac Heaney's two grand finals have 59 00:03:03,730 --> 00:03:08,850 Speaker 3: been appalling. They made 45 tackles. 45 tackles. Remember Bud 60 00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:12,350 Speaker 3: was getting Bronx cheers in the third in 2023? That's right, yeah. 61 00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:14,030 Speaker 4: But right now you guys are doing the nut bush 62 00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:15,750 Speaker 4: on their grave right now. You've just got to let 63 00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:16,149 Speaker 4: them grieve. 64 00:03:16,210 --> 00:03:18,330 Speaker 3: It's not that, but I'd said all week that the 65 00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: reason I couldn't trust Sydney to even tip them was 66 00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:25,060 Speaker 3: because of Logan McDonald, two possessions subbed out of the game. 67 00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:29,690 Speaker 3: Joel Amati didn't hit the scoreboard. And Hayden McLean, they 68 00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,589 Speaker 3: kicked zero goals between them. You look at the other end, 69 00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:35,910 Speaker 3: you've got Lowman bobbing up, kicking four. You've got Archie 70 00:03:35,950 --> 00:03:38,050 Speaker 3: kicking four. You've got Dana who kicked two goals, four. 71 00:03:38,090 --> 00:03:40,490 Speaker 3: Could have quite easily had five or six. Eric Hipwood 72 00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:44,470 Speaker 3: was playing magnificent footy, kicked probably the goal of the day. 73 00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:46,910 Speaker 3: All of them contributed. 74 00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:47,010 Speaker 5: And. 75 00:03:48,130 --> 00:03:50,290 Speaker 3: I would say that apart from Fox... Does it expose 76 00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,770 Speaker 3: their lack of depth, Sydney? 77 00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:53,430 Speaker 2: Because they've been too reliant on the big three in 78 00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:57,060 Speaker 2: the middle, Warner, Gillen and Heaney, and then Papley at 79 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: one end and the Lizard at the other end. So 80 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,780 Speaker 2: from a pure depth point of view, because Brisbane bat 81 00:04:03,820 --> 00:04:04,610 Speaker 2: very deep, don't they? 82 00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:05,090 Speaker 3: Very deep. 83 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:07,660 Speaker 2: All across the board. And their midfield is... a hell 84 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,180 Speaker 2: of a lot deeper than Sydney's midfield, I think. And 85 00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: that was shown up. But the numbers were very even 86 00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:14,660 Speaker 2: around the midfield and all that sort of stuff, territory-wise. 87 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,260 Speaker 2: But it was an absolute dismantling on turnover. You come 88 00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: up against Brisbane and you know you need to take 89 00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:24,110 Speaker 2: their marks away. That's 75 marks halfway through the second quarter. 90 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:27,390 Speaker 3: It was astonishing. And horse always goes into lockdown mode. 91 00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:30,430 Speaker 2: So Brisbane, from quarter-time onwards, they pretty much knew they 92 00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:33,370 Speaker 2: had um they had sydney because they knew that horse 93 00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:35,980 Speaker 2: would go into defensive mode one-on-one which makes it even 94 00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: easier to pick them apart and they just built the 95 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:40,260 Speaker 2: game and just got the game on their terms i. 96 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: Loved how perfect the score was to 60 120 just 97 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,940 Speaker 4: for some of those cds just looks nice well it. 98 00:04:44,779 --> 00:04:49,260 Speaker 2: Actually should have been close to 100 points you know. 99 00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:52,890 Speaker 4: Yes this room is cooked uh Brodie has had a big– 100 00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:54,670 Speaker 4: we're going to get to the fun stuff about both 101 00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:58,330 Speaker 4: of your weekends because your three days, Jonathan, was unbelievable. 102 00:04:58,350 --> 00:04:59,030 Speaker 3: Amazing. 103 00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:02,210 Speaker 1: You're lucky to be alive as well. But our producer 104 00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:05,029 Speaker 1: here has– what happened to your forehead? We can see 105 00:05:05,070 --> 00:05:08,690 Speaker 1: a giant red scab on your forehead. It's carpet burn. 106 00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: Oh, really? How do you get carpet burn on your forehead? 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,620 Speaker 5: So every year we go to a mate's rooftop in 108 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,940 Speaker 5: Richmond that overlooks the G, and you leave your phones 109 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:18,580 Speaker 5: downstairs because it gets pretty untidy. 110 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:18,940 Speaker 2: Okay. 111 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: But then at the end of the evening, there's always, well, 112 00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 5: we do the halftime sprint where it's pants off and 113 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:25,260 Speaker 5: you run up the driveway in front of the public. 114 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,370 Speaker 5: And then after that is the annual grand final wrestle. 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,500 Speaker 5: And then so you eat your partner off and just 116 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:31,469 Speaker 5: wrestle for the next dinner. 117 00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:34,050 Speaker 1: Half an hour, 45 minutes. And that's when it happened, 118 00:05:34,089 --> 00:05:35,790 Speaker 1: the carpet burn. You got dressed. You got driven into 119 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:36,450 Speaker 1: the carpet. 120 00:05:36,510 --> 00:05:38,570 Speaker 5: Yeah, I drew Big Bolo, which was never going to 121 00:05:38,690 --> 00:05:41,700 Speaker 5: end well for him because Bilo's about 6'5, brother of 122 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,260 Speaker 5: Scott Boland. 123 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,020 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, big boy. 124 00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,060 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a big boy. So it was never going 125 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: to end well. So you're naked or just undies? 126 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: No, no, it's just shirts off. Shirts off, pants on 127 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:52,450 Speaker 5: at this point. So the pants go back on after 128 00:05:52,470 --> 00:05:52,830 Speaker 5: the sprint. 129 00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:53,349 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then. 130 00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:54,770 Speaker 1: shirts come off for the rest of it. 131 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:55,050 Speaker 2: Oh, nice. 132 00:05:55,330 --> 00:05:57,490 Speaker 4: A lot of people are upset with you because you 133 00:05:57,550 --> 00:06:00,350 Speaker 4: claimed on the podcast last week that Katy Perry. 134 00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:01,609 Speaker 1: Was not going to sing Raw. 135 00:06:01,710 --> 00:06:04,150 Speaker 3: Another shit take from Katy Perry. 136 00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:05,229 Speaker 1: Another shit take. 137 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:08,190 Speaker 2: Isn't the job of a producer to have the correct information? Obviously, 138 00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:09,070 Speaker 2: you have us organised. 139 00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 5: Oh, I got the mail that she wasn't, and then 140 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,460 Speaker 5: the AFL were not happy with that, and then at 141 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 5: the very last minute they were able to change the 142 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 5: set times. 143 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,740 Speaker 1: That is bullshit. 144 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,100 Speaker 2: I was at Mushroom Records around the corner from you 145 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,900 Speaker 2: filming the opener for the big screen. And I said 146 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: to the girl, Mushroom, she had her to Carmen. They 147 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: do a wonderful job down there at Mushroom. I said 148 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:29,010 Speaker 2: to Carmen, I've just been told she's not playing Raw. 149 00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:30,170 Speaker 2: She said, that is a load of shit. 150 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:33,690 Speaker 3: So she showed me the set list, Raw. She goes, 151 00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:34,250 Speaker 3: what do you think? 152 00:06:34,510 --> 00:06:36,550 Speaker 2: Why do you think you're doing this video? She said, 153 00:06:36,610 --> 00:06:38,790 Speaker 2: she's singing Raw straight after you do this video. 154 00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:41,740 Speaker 1: Beck, you got grief because of Brodie's misinformation. They were 155 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: all coming at me. They were like, Brodie's got everything wrong. 156 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:47,300 Speaker 3: I've been telling my mates, like all our degenerates, they're 157 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: telling all their mates, oh, Raw's not playing, Raw's not playing. 158 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,460 Speaker 2: I went to the hot day with Coles. I took 159 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,630 Speaker 2: her to the sound check for our date day, and 160 00:06:56,670 --> 00:06:57,219 Speaker 2: she opened up. 161 00:06:57,230 --> 00:06:59,090 Speaker 3: We did it twice. How cool is that? She did 162 00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:00,950 Speaker 3: the performance twice. 163 00:07:01,310 --> 00:07:03,610 Speaker 2: But she opened with Raw, so I was super confident 164 00:07:03,630 --> 00:07:05,890 Speaker 2: when I'd seen it in the flesh that it's happening. 165 00:07:06,270 --> 00:07:08,630 Speaker 4: Hey, the thing she came out on, that silver dust buster, 166 00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:10,310 Speaker 4: was sick. But I've got to tell you, I'm a 167 00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:11,510 Speaker 4: Batmobile man personally. 168 00:07:11,530 --> 00:07:11,650 Speaker 2: Yeah. 169 00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:13,290 Speaker 3: Angry Anderson. 170 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:15,110 Speaker 1: And singing Bound for Glory. 171 00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:17,490 Speaker 3: Don't you think that was a nod to the Batmobile? 172 00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:19,570 Speaker 1: It might have been. She was unbelievable. I think we 173 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,630 Speaker 1: can all agree. No one in this room. 174 00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:21,130 Speaker 3: Yeah, she was cool. 175 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: She was brilliant. 176 00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,260 Speaker 3: She was very good. No, it was a good show. 177 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 3: Who do you reckon Callum Mills is going to wrestle 178 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,460 Speaker 3: on Mad Monday today? 179 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:27,100 Speaker 1: Good question. 180 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: Brody. 181 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:32,300 Speaker 1: I recommend Big Bola. All right. 182 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,510 Speaker 4: I want to go through your day first because the 183 00:07:35,530 --> 00:07:37,770 Speaker 4: day before the grand final, we do an annual thing 184 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:38,430 Speaker 4: at Nobu. 185 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:38,770 Speaker 3: Yeah. 186 00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:40,990 Speaker 1: And me and you, we pushed the boat out. We 187 00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:42,980 Speaker 1: were on the Yarra at one point having a DNM. 188 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,620 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 189 00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:47,180 Speaker 1: Quite late at night. Who, with Pang? Gaz was there. 190 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: Gaz was there. 191 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:48,580 Speaker 2: Bucks. 192 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,490 Speaker 3: Watched your horse run. Beast mode. Yeah, Beast mode. 193 00:07:52,510 --> 00:07:53,790 Speaker 1: Beast mode. They dropped the whip. 194 00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:56,030 Speaker 4: Yeah, John had the phone up during the race. 195 00:07:56,110 --> 00:07:57,910 Speaker 1: He's a little bit flat. At least it placed though. 196 00:07:57,930 --> 00:07:59,130 Speaker 3: Yeah, it ran second. 197 00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:01,770 Speaker 2: So it was each way odds for second. But he 198 00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:03,700 Speaker 2: did push the boat out a little bit. 199 00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 4: I woke up deathly hungover. And then you've got to 200 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,900 Speaker 4: go and put a face on. You're the face of 201 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:09,300 Speaker 4: the line. 202 00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:09,700 Speaker 5: Wow. 203 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 204 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,300 Speaker 2: And I went and found my wife. I left you 205 00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:14,850 Speaker 2: guys because Kyle's was in town with Amy Redden and 206 00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: Jack Redden, West Coast. 207 00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,350 Speaker 3: And who are they there with? Big Nick Nat. 208 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:19,930 Speaker 1: Shit! 209 00:08:19,970 --> 00:08:24,190 Speaker 2: The big panther walking down the street. Now, I'm recognizable 210 00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:26,330 Speaker 2: because of my height. And he'd get pulled up, especially 211 00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:28,210 Speaker 2: on Grand Final League. So people would pull you up 212 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:29,610 Speaker 2: and say, hey, get a photo. 213 00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:31,030 Speaker 3: And all that. Well, I tell you what, it is 214 00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: another level. When you're walking along with Big Nicknack. 215 00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:34,579 Speaker 1: I love that. 216 00:08:34,650 --> 00:08:36,819 Speaker 3: When Big Nicknack does, he draws some attention. 217 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,940 Speaker 1: Man, that's it. 218 00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:40,059 Speaker 2: Even if you weren't walking down the same street as Nicknack, 219 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: you knew he was in town, the big man. 220 00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: Exactly. 221 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,380 Speaker 1: He's a funny legend as well. He's a funny legend. 222 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:45,850 Speaker 3: Absolutely. So that was good. 223 00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:49,329 Speaker 2: But woke up pretty fresh and charged on Saturday morning. 224 00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: Beautiful day too, wasn't it? 225 00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:51,330 Speaker 1: Magnificent. 226 00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:52,710 Speaker 3: It was a magnificent day. 227 00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:54,969 Speaker 1: You went to the ocean? You're a bit hung and 228 00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:56,089 Speaker 1: you reset in the ocean. 229 00:08:56,110 --> 00:08:58,069 Speaker 2: I went and reset in the ocean. I often go 230 00:08:58,130 --> 00:09:00,410 Speaker 2: in the ocean, reset there. A bit fresh, but just 231 00:09:00,490 --> 00:09:03,030 Speaker 2: exactly what I needed. So I thought that's a good way. 232 00:09:03,370 --> 00:09:05,710 Speaker 2: Come on, don't have a hot shower. Because the tempting 233 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:07,939 Speaker 2: thing is go and have a hot shower, stay a 234 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: bit colder, stay a bit colder, stay fresher, and then 235 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,900 Speaker 2: off to the footy. And then I did about three 236 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,370 Speaker 2: or four cashies on the way to the footy. Nice 237 00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:18,570 Speaker 2: and sharp, just bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Legal cashies. 238 00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:20,010 Speaker 3: As I've said. 239 00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:22,770 Speaker 2: I'm a big contributor to the tax office. I think 240 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:26,140 Speaker 2: they're doing wonderful things here. Yeah, except for fixing the 241 00:09:26,179 --> 00:09:28,179 Speaker 2: potholes when you drive home to see the old man 242 00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: in Warrnambool. 243 00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:29,780 Speaker 3: But anyway, that's another story. 244 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:33,370 Speaker 2: So got to the ground in good shape, 1 o'clock, 245 00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:34,670 Speaker 2: hour and a half before it. 246 00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:37,370 Speaker 3: Pre-game with Gaz and Bucks and Geordie. 247 00:09:37,809 --> 00:09:37,969 Speaker 2: Yep. 248 00:09:38,030 --> 00:09:38,380 Speaker 3: Loving it. 249 00:09:38,429 --> 00:09:40,569 Speaker 2: And Bucks gave me some great advice. We walked into 250 00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:44,300 Speaker 2: the footy together. He said, mate, just promise me, promise 251 00:09:44,340 --> 00:09:46,939 Speaker 2: me if they win, go down to the rooms. 252 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: Go down to the rooms. 253 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,620 Speaker 2: He said it's one of the greatest feelings as a supporter, 254 00:09:51,059 --> 00:09:53,510 Speaker 2: just being amongst them. Obviously, we've got the connections of 255 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,089 Speaker 2: the ex-players. I was thinking of that all day. I 256 00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:57,550 Speaker 2: didn't want to get too far out of myself, but 257 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:59,190 Speaker 2: I thought that's in the back of my mind. 258 00:09:59,210 --> 00:09:59,490 Speaker 3: Yeah. 259 00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:02,140 Speaker 2: And obviously got up to my seat and grabbed me 260 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: a couple of beers, a couple of settlers, and then 261 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,140 Speaker 2: watched it all unfold. 262 00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 4: And as the third quarter started, we soon knew it 263 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,219 Speaker 4: was just going to be a party for you. So 264 00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 4: you got to kick back in perfect weather with your 265 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:12,819 Speaker 4: beautiful wife. 266 00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:13,220 Speaker 5: Yes. 267 00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,580 Speaker 1: Get a bit drunk and watch your team win the flag. 268 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,939 Speaker 3: I had Blackie, myself. 269 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,630 Speaker 2: And my dear wife, Kylie, we sat there and I said, 270 00:10:20,650 --> 00:10:23,450 Speaker 2: last quarter, load up, get the drinks, and let's just 271 00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:24,450 Speaker 2: celebrate this hard. 272 00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:24,689 Speaker 1: Come on. 273 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:26,950 Speaker 2: Because remember all the shit we copped from those Collingwood 274 00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:27,990 Speaker 2: dirtbags last year? 275 00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:28,830 Speaker 3: Remember that? 276 00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: That was fresh in our mind. So we thought we 277 00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:33,819 Speaker 2: were going to be humble in victory. We weren't giving 278 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: it to the Brisbane Lions supporters. Sorry, giving it to 279 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:38,939 Speaker 2: the Sydney Swans supporters, but we just really enjoyed it. 280 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,790 Speaker 4: Right, so you got down to the rooms before the 281 00:10:41,830 --> 00:10:43,270 Speaker 4: team walked in, so you got to be there when 282 00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:43,910 Speaker 4: they walked in. 283 00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:44,450 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 284 00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:46,550 Speaker 2: Only one security guard. There were a lot of security guards. 285 00:10:46,590 --> 00:10:48,210 Speaker 2: Most of them knew me. They just kept, no worries, 286 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:51,010 Speaker 2: big fella, keep going. So I took them down there, 287 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:54,340 Speaker 2: except for one fella who, you know, I don't think 288 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,530 Speaker 2: AFL was his first sport as a kid growing up, 289 00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: it's fair to say. 290 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,620 Speaker 1: And he said, no, sir, you cannot answer. 291 00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,260 Speaker 3: And I said, well, mate, you're not stopping me. I'm 292 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,950 Speaker 3: coming through there. Actually, I think I might have said 293 00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:05,750 Speaker 3: to him, bring friends. 294 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:11,250 Speaker 2: And then one of the older security guards said, no, no, 295 00:11:11,290 --> 00:11:13,150 Speaker 2: let him go and got in there just before the 296 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:15,910 Speaker 2: boys came in. And that reception when the boys come 297 00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:18,590 Speaker 2: into the rooms is unbelievable. The crowd was going bananas. 298 00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:20,410 Speaker 1: Did you get fags earlier, a cuddle from fags? 299 00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:21,890 Speaker 3: Got a cuddle from fags earlier. 300 00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,570 Speaker 2: And everyone obviously wasn't in the song, but being in 301 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:27,850 Speaker 2: the rooms when the boys get in there and sing 302 00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:30,270 Speaker 2: the song the first time, It's pretty cool. You know, 303 00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:32,740 Speaker 2: there's beers going over. My toughest challenge in the room 304 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: is post-game. 305 00:11:33,540 --> 00:11:35,580 Speaker 3: Yeah. Of course, Brisbane Lions is sponsored by Forex. 306 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,220 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. 307 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,100 Speaker 3: Direct competitor to Carlton. 308 00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:37,460 Speaker 1: Correct. 309 00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:38,260 Speaker 3: Yeah. 310 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,740 Speaker 2: But I noticed some good times.

Vodka and something? 313 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:46,449 Speaker 1: Yeah. 314 00:11:46,730 --> 00:11:48,230 Speaker 3: I thought, I made a mental note. 315 00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:49,090 Speaker 1: Okay. 316 00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:51,670 Speaker 2: Remember, don't have Forex in hand. Have good times in 317 00:11:51,690 --> 00:11:53,070 Speaker 2: hand because there's going to be lots of photos. 318 00:11:53,090 --> 00:11:53,170 Speaker 5: Yeah. 319 00:11:53,450 --> 00:11:55,510 Speaker 4: Doug, do you remember when Britney Spears was sponsored by 320 00:11:55,530 --> 00:11:58,340 Speaker 4: Pepsi and she got John Drinking Coke on? 321 00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: Mate, the deal was through. 322 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:00,380 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. 323 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:01,620 Speaker 1: You're too smart, mate. 324 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: Well, just metal, metal. No, a lot of metal notes 325 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,570 Speaker 2: during the day. So anyway, mate, and then Cameron got 326 00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:11,740 Speaker 2: me to come in. To his locker, you know, he 327 00:12:11,780 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: wears number 16, which I'm very proud of.

A lady comes up 402 00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:00,550 Speaker 3: to me. I say, hi, I'm Campbell. She says, hi, Campbell, 403 00:15:00,590 --> 00:15:02,850 Speaker 3: I'm hosting this box today. What are you doing in here? 404 00:15:03,310 --> 00:15:07,229 Speaker 3: I said, Justin Quill has invited me in to the 405 00:15:07,270 --> 00:15:12,050 Speaker 3: box as his guest. She said, who's Justin Quill? So 406 00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:15,270 Speaker 3: I'd been invited into a box by a guy who wasn't. 407 00:15:15,210 --> 00:15:16,970 Speaker 1: Invited into the box. 408 00:15:17,190 --> 00:15:18,290 Speaker 3: And I go, what? 409 00:15:18,970 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: And she said, you know who you f * * * 410 00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: ed up? You didn't have your goal from the 2008 411 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,780 Speaker 2: Grand Final. 412 00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: Like I did for the mark of the year getting 413 00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: into the Super Bowl box. 414 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't. 415 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: Anyway, she ended up saying, look, you're more than welcome 416 00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: to stay. But she was that rattled. She had no 417 00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: idea I was going in there. And she had no 418 00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:36,670 Speaker 3: idea who Justin was. 419 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:36,910 Speaker 2: Yeah. 420 00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:40,490 Speaker 1: But it was the right box. Did it really come eventually? 421 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:43,990 Speaker 3: I think he just assumed that he'd be welcome to 422 00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:47,050 Speaker 3: bring in a few people. Sure, sure, sure. And I 423 00:15:47,270 --> 00:15:51,650 Speaker 3: did go down, find where Katy Perry was before she 424 00:15:51,690 --> 00:15:55,310 Speaker 3: came out. Yep. I missed a really quick opportunity earlier 425 00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:56,650 Speaker 3: in the day when she walked past me in the 426 00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:59,650 Speaker 3: stairs with all her people and I didn't react quick enough. 427 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,580 Speaker 3: So I found out where she was and I walked 428 00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 3: in pretending I was sort of meant to be there 429 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,270 Speaker 3: and a lady jumped up came flying across and she said, oh, 430 00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,979 Speaker 3: excuse me, what are you doing? And I sort of said, oh, yeah, 431 00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:13,300 Speaker 3: how are you? How are you going? I didn't want 432 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,540 Speaker 3: to say too much. And she said, she saw my 433 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: seven pin and she said, no one from seven are 434 00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:20,650 Speaker 3: allowed in here at all today. I was like, and 435 00:16:20,670 --> 00:16:23,630 Speaker 3: then I was done. I'd shot my... Oh, no. 436 00:16:23,710 --> 00:16:24,370 Speaker 1: So I was gone. 437 00:16:24,390 --> 00:16:25,989 Speaker 3: So the seven pin cost you, you thought it was 438 00:16:26,010 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 3: going to help you. 439 00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:27,390 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to help me. 440 00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:30,790 Speaker 3: Yes. And I was going to wander through, potentially find 441 00:16:30,810 --> 00:16:32,230 Speaker 3: where she was getting her hair and makeup. 442 00:16:32,850 --> 00:16:33,770 Speaker 1: And what?

And obviously winning a premiership wouldn't make 511 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,790 Speaker 2: it even– Maybe even easier. 512 00:19:33,810 --> 00:19:35,430 Speaker 1: BP dropped this before the game. 513 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:39,230 Speaker 3: And then he backtracked a little bit on it because 514 00:19:40,290 --> 00:19:42,430 Speaker 3: he thought there might be a 2% or 3% chance 515 00:19:42,450 --> 00:19:45,470 Speaker 3: that he wouldn't. Yeah. And they didn't want to overshadow 516 00:19:46,430 --> 00:19:47,670 Speaker 3: the premiership, you know what I mean? 517 00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:48,370 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. 518 00:19:48,430 --> 00:19:49,970 Speaker 3: Make it about Joe and not the team. 519 00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:50,490 Speaker 5: Yeah. 520 00:19:51,180 --> 00:19:54,220 Speaker 3: I was down in training on Thursday. I went down 521 00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:54,859 Speaker 3: to watch training. 522 00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: Boys had main session at Punt Road and some of 523 00:19:57,980 --> 00:19:59,980 Speaker 2: the senior leaders of the club got Joe in and 524 00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:02,500 Speaker 2: obviously word had started to get out. Yeah. They were 525 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: having a laugh about it. They obviously were just letting 526 00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: him know that, oh, mate, this story's starting to do 527 00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 2: the rounds. Might be something you have to deal with. 528 00:20:08,770 --> 00:20:10,330 Speaker 2: But honestly, it would have been water off a duck's 529 00:20:10,369 --> 00:20:10,889 Speaker 2: back to jail. 530 00:20:10,910 --> 00:20:13,290 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't have mattered. I think he was Brisbane's 531 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:14,830 Speaker 3: best player of the final series. 532 00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:15,650 Speaker 2: Without a doubt. 533 00:20:15,690 --> 00:20:18,670 Speaker 3: Most important and best. And was last year too. 534 00:20:18,790 --> 00:20:19,050 Speaker 2: Yeah. 535 00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:21,170 Speaker 3: You know, he's just astonishing. Like, really. 536 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: Brisbane should be sitting home on the couch. It wasn't 537 00:20:23,859 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 2: for his heroics in the last five minutes against GWS. 538 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,660 Speaker 2: You know, there are other parts of the story. Like, 539 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,609 Speaker 2: I had a beer with Adam Kingsley at halftime. 540 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:31,770 Speaker 5: Yep. 541 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,469 Speaker 2: And by that stage, then you knew that Brisbane were 542 00:20:33,490 --> 00:20:36,129 Speaker 2: going to win. They were just decimating Sydney. having a 543 00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:39,540 Speaker 2: beer with Kingers and, jeez, Kingers was flat. Because, you know, 544 00:20:39,650 --> 00:20:41,290 Speaker 2: a big part of him looking at it going, f * * *, 545 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:42,180 Speaker 2: that should be us. 546 00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:44,619 Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%. It should have been GWS. 547 00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 2: Look, they're 44 points up, which is, I think, the 548 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: equal biggest margin given up in a final. Yeah. 549 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,369 Speaker 3: I mean, I never like to rub things into Essendon supporters. No, 550 00:20:55,609 --> 00:20:59,649 Speaker 3: I'm sure not. That's very sincere. They haven't won a 551 00:20:59,869 --> 00:21:02,830 Speaker 3: final in 20 years, which we've touched on before. They 552 00:21:02,850 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 3: would have watched two former Essendon players, Joe Danner and 553 00:21:06,340 --> 00:21:09,380 Speaker 3: Connor McKenna, both put medals around their neck. It must 554 00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: have really frustrated them. 555 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,100 Speaker 1: Why is he smuggling? That's very sincere. 556 00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 4: There's a meme going around that Ashcroft was born after 557 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: their last finals win. He's grown up into a man 558 00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:23,740 Speaker 4: and won a premiership before they've won a finals game. 559 00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:24,930 Speaker 1: He's a superstar. 560 00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:29,830 Speaker 3: I thought I couldn't really split Lockie Neal and Will Ashcroft. 561 00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:33,170 Speaker 3: They're both clearly the two best players. He kicks out fifth. 562 00:21:33,730 --> 00:21:37,790 Speaker 2: So they're 1, 2, 3 and they're Norm Smith. Archie 563 00:21:37,810 --> 00:21:39,990 Speaker 2: kicks a fifth because it's in voters' minds late and 564 00:21:40,010 --> 00:21:42,930 Speaker 2: they're trying to make up, I've been a Norm Smith voter. 565 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: And those things that happen late can be fresh in 566 00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:48,500 Speaker 2: your mind sometimes. And the job he did on Nick Blakely, 567 00:21:48,859 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: Nick Blakey. But yeah, you're right, Neil and Ashcroft are magnificent. 568 00:21:51,260 --> 00:21:53,780 Speaker 3: And I couldn't, you know, like Lockie Neil, he's a 569 00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 3: great stoppage player. He's the one just getting the little 570 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,660 Speaker 3: dinky handballs out and things like that. I couldn't believe 571 00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 3: the amount of space he was afforded, right? Like, I 572 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,050 Speaker 3: think he had four... running bounces in the game, which 573 00:22:06,109 --> 00:22:08,590 Speaker 3: is unheard of for Lachie. I reckon he would have 574 00:22:08,609 --> 00:22:10,530 Speaker 3: had four bounces in a game in his whole career. 575 00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:11,310 Speaker 1: What happened? 576 00:22:11,650 --> 00:22:12,150 Speaker 3: What happened? 577 00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:13,629 Speaker 2: There's just so much space. We knew they were going 578 00:22:13,670 --> 00:22:16,230 Speaker 2: to play. Both teams like to play long fields. We're 579 00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 2: not going to be too technical, but sort of old-school football. 580 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: They're forwards, stay at home. Defenders obviously do their job. 581 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: Their mids run around. There was just too much space. 582 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,820 Speaker 2: If you afford Brisbane that much space, they'll carve you 583 00:22:27,859 --> 00:22:30,409 Speaker 2: up where they're kicking. And their kicking skills were spot on. 584 00:22:30,580 --> 00:22:33,420 Speaker 2: Like McCluggage's first quarter, I know he got clamped after 585 00:22:33,460 --> 00:22:37,850 Speaker 2: quarter time. That was one of Horst's right decisions. Because McCluggage, 586 00:22:37,869 --> 00:22:38,970 Speaker 2: the way he was going to, he was going to 587 00:22:38,990 --> 00:22:41,030 Speaker 2: have 50 touches and 28 scoring involvements. 588 00:22:41,070 --> 00:22:43,490 Speaker 1: But their kicking early. 589 00:22:43,530 --> 00:22:45,230 Speaker 2: Well, that kick he hit to Leicester when they kicked 590 00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: the goal in that first quarter was unbelievable. 591 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: But because the field was so stretched out, Dino, that 592 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 3: was just brilliant. That was... Music, well, not music. 593 00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: It was a beautiful sight as a Brisbane Lions supporter 594 00:22:57,660 --> 00:22:59,020 Speaker 2: because you're going, this is magnificent. 595 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 3: This is what we want. And Sydney had just given 596 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 3: it to us. 597 00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:04,209 Speaker 4: Did anyone catch up with BT after the game? Did 598 00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:06,170 Speaker 4: you sign him or no eyes on him? 599 00:23:06,190 --> 00:23:06,930 Speaker 1: Did you see BT? 600 00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:08,850 Speaker 3: No, it had been a big week for BT. 601 00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:11,990 Speaker 4: He's been great all year and I love the man. 602 00:23:12,050 --> 00:23:13,190 Speaker 4: I love Brian Taylor. 603 00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 3: Sometimes by the end of the week you start forgetting 604 00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:20,460 Speaker 3: stuff and making comments that you probably shouldn't have. 605 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,179 Speaker 2: Yeah, a big week, you're right. I love BT. I 606 00:23:22,220 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 2: did three or four gigs with him. during the week, 607 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,619 Speaker 2: and he was on fire. He's a great storyteller, but 608 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,830 Speaker 2: he doesn't like doing many of them because normally he's 609 00:23:31,850 --> 00:23:33,929 Speaker 2: emceeing it. But every now and again, if you can 610 00:23:33,970 --> 00:23:35,910 Speaker 2: team up, and obviously we know the stories, he can 611 00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:38,470 Speaker 2: really fire up and bang out an absolute beauty. 612 00:23:38,490 --> 00:23:40,690 Speaker 4: Well, let's just listen to some of BT's work from 613 00:23:40,850 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 4: the weekend, really paying attention to the great coach, your coach. 614 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,700 Speaker 3: Three-quarter time siren sounds. 615 00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: Lee Matthews there. 616 00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:53,540 Speaker 3: Brisbane fans roaring. 617 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,020 Speaker 1: Dennis Pagan. 618 00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:59,659 Speaker 3: Will he become the second coach. 619 00:23:59,420 --> 00:24:01,790 Speaker 4: In history to coach a grand final. 620 00:24:01,550 --> 00:24:05,050 Speaker 1: Without having played a senior game? You've got to think so. Hey, 621 00:24:05,130 --> 00:24:06,310 Speaker 1: Fagan and Pagan rhyme. 622 00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:07,770 Speaker 3: Goodness me. 623 00:24:08,190 --> 00:24:11,409 Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure Fags was coaching last year too 624 00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: when they were in the grand final. Is that a moment? 625 00:24:17,619 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 3: Is that a moment there? Just the passion he says 626 00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 3: it with. At any stage of the production, you're going, Brian, 627 00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:28,990 Speaker 3: you said Dennis Bagan. It's Chris Bagan. Just wheel those 628 00:24:29,030 --> 00:24:30,270 Speaker 3: comments back before the end. 629 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:34,030 Speaker 1: LAUGHTER Oh, shit. 630 00:24:34,210 --> 00:24:36,140 Speaker 3: Dennis Baker's now a horse trainer. 631 00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 2: Really? 632 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 3: We should have got Brian on the phone. He would 633 00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:40,139 Speaker 3: have took our call. Anyway. 634 00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:41,899 Speaker 1: So after September Club, did you go home or did 635 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: you kick on again? 636 00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:45,260 Speaker 2: I kicked on with the boys. I went in a Zorks. 637 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,830 Speaker 2: They're funny. It's weird just how your night ends up 638 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,830 Speaker 2: on the after the grand final. 639 00:24:49,850 --> 00:24:52,730 Speaker 3: Well, last year you ended up with Charlie Cameron's house party, right? 640 00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:56,290 Speaker 3: Charlie Kurno's house party, right? That's right. With Mick Fanning. 641 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:57,610 Speaker 3: Mick Fanning. That's right. 642 00:24:57,790 --> 00:24:59,369 Speaker 1: And you brought a beer. You brought a carton of 643 00:24:59,390 --> 00:25:00,010 Speaker 1: beer in there. 644 00:25:00,270 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: Well, yeah. I bought about four cartons of different stuff 645 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,500 Speaker 2: with Mick, and the bloke was so overwhelmed at the 646 00:25:07,540 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 2: bottle shop that he didn't see. 647 00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:12,470 Speaker 3: You know, when you tap your car, the credit card, 648 00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:15,070 Speaker 3: it didn't actually go through. Oh, so he stole it? Yeah, 649 00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:19,050 Speaker 3: so he stole it. So the owner of the Riversdale Hotel. 650 00:25:19,090 --> 00:25:20,889 Speaker 1: He's excited to see you and Mick Manning. 651 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: He's so excited. 652 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 653 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,900 Speaker 3: But he also knows where I live. So three days later, 654 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,260 Speaker 3: I get a letter in the mail. A letter in 655 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,500 Speaker 3: the mail. It's been a handwritten note. It just dropped 656 00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:34,209 Speaker 3: in the mail saying, oh, by the way, you owe 657 00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:35,330 Speaker 3: me for those four slabs. 658 00:25:35,369 --> 00:25:38,830 Speaker 2: Because I got in and checked the tillable four slab short. 659 00:25:38,850 --> 00:25:41,350 Speaker 2: So I checked the video cameras. He goes, I couldn't 660 00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:43,810 Speaker 2: believe my eyes. Jonathan Brown and Mick Fanning walking out 661 00:25:43,869 --> 00:25:44,250 Speaker 2: of the house. 662 00:25:45,550 --> 00:25:47,629 Speaker 3: Four boxes. Anyway, but. 663 00:25:47,650 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: So Zorkos. 664 00:25:48,619 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: We walk, yeah, hang on. 665 00:25:49,780 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we went to September Club and there was me, Carl's, 666 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,700 Speaker 2: Gil and his wife, Laura, Gil McLaughlin. And Gil was 667 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,930 Speaker 2: dead set, Kelly, on getting a souvlaki. Wow. 668 00:26:01,950 --> 00:26:02,310 Speaker 3: I said, right. 669 00:26:02,350 --> 00:26:04,929 Speaker 2: I said, well, the boys are at the Union Hotel. Now, 670 00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:06,770 Speaker 2: I thought that was in Richmond.

We copped a lot of WTBs this week, 817 00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:01,950 Speaker 3: which is great. It's like a back call. You know 818 00:32:01,970 --> 00:32:03,250 Speaker 3: that they're a listener. 819 00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:04,150 Speaker 1: I love our listeners. 820 00:32:04,190 --> 00:32:06,270 Speaker 2: Sorry we haven't been able to get a party together. 821 00:32:06,290 --> 00:32:10,469 Speaker 2: We'll organise something for next year. Logistically, it would just 822 00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:11,670 Speaker 2: be hard to pull it together in the end. 823 00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 4: To the WhatsApp thread, they feel like family. It's just 824 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,450 Speaker 4: always good to see their names pop up. We could 825 00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 4: not be more grateful. I've got a couple more footy 826 00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:21,460 Speaker 4: things to ask before Waterworld. 827 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: Eagles have got a coach. 828 00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 3: Yes, Andrew McIlder. 829 00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:28,860 Speaker 2: Because I'd heard strong rumours from a very good male, usually, 830 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,100 Speaker 2: starting to sound a bit like Brodie now. He told 831 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: me John Longmore was done for six years at West 832 00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:34,420 Speaker 2: Coast a. 833 00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:36,220 Speaker 1: Couple of weeks ago. I would have loved that. That 834 00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:36,900 Speaker 1: is huge. 835 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,710 Speaker 2: But I asked the right people and they said, It 836 00:32:39,730 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 2: would be absolutely shocked. That was a thorough coaching interview process, 837 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: and McWhorter won out. 838 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, he very nearly got the Richmond job. He was 839 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: bitterly disappointed when he missed out, but sometimes things happen 840 00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:53,660 Speaker 3: for a reason, and I don't reckon you'd want the 841 00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,020 Speaker 3: Richmond job, to be honest with you. 842 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: No? 843 00:32:56,590 --> 00:32:59,270 Speaker 3: Get the West Coast job. He'll have Liam Baker there 844 00:32:59,290 --> 00:33:01,090 Speaker 3: in not too long. That's pretty cool. You would think 845 00:33:01,110 --> 00:33:02,890 Speaker 3: that trail would go through, and they're on the up. 846 00:33:03,250 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: All right. Well, that's cool. That's one more thing. Joe's 847 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:06,380 Speaker 1: only 30. 848 00:33:06,380 --> 00:33:08,990 Speaker 3: Why would he retire? Because he's a bit different, Joe. 849 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 3: He lives in Byron Bay. 850 00:33:10,180 --> 00:33:11,580 Speaker 1: He's fallen out of love with footy. 851 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,430 Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough. Footy's not his absolute... You know, being 852 00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:15,370 Speaker 3: on end also. 853 00:33:15,630 --> 00:33:16,250 Speaker 1: Perfect way to end. 854 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:16,870 Speaker 3: That's right. 855 00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:18,990 Speaker 2: And he's not in it for the money. You know, 856 00:33:19,010 --> 00:33:20,930 Speaker 2: he just plays for the love of it. And at 857 00:33:20,950 --> 00:33:22,130 Speaker 2: the end of the day, if you haven't got the 858 00:33:22,170 --> 00:33:25,090 Speaker 2: love there, it's hard to play top-level professional footy. Yep. 859 00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:27,990 Speaker 1: Beck, thank you to you all year. You're our rock. 860 00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:30,210 Speaker 1: Without you, we'd be absolutely useless. 861 00:33:30,270 --> 00:33:31,570 Speaker 3: Still a shit goal for that. Shit goal. 862 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm getting there, boys. And, Brode, thank you for being 863 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,660 Speaker 1: the perfect human. Look at you. 864 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 865 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,620 Speaker 3: From every angle. Well done. 866 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,820 Speaker 1: And thank you for everything you've done. 867 00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:40,100 Speaker 2: Yeah. 868 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,100 Speaker 3: Thank you. And for saying less on the potty this year. 869 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: Yes, that's been good. 870 00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:44,450 Speaker 3: I think that's been an important rise. 871 00:33:45,570 --> 00:33:46,290 Speaker 1: Time for. 872 00:33:46,330 --> 00:33:50,650 Speaker 3: My last Waterworld. Now, Gloucester Park Harness the other day, 873 00:33:50,670 --> 00:33:53,350 Speaker 3: I was sitting there on the couch listening, right? And 874 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,180 Speaker 3: the interviewer goes up to the sulky of the driver 875 00:33:56,580 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 3: and asks a couple of pre-race questions. Have a listen 876 00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:02,660 Speaker 3: to what the driver says in reply. 877 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: I know that gate speed is something that he's got 878 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: a bit of. Dominus Factum, do you push the button? 879 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,779 Speaker 3: Having gate speed and not using it, Timmy, is like 880 00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 3: having a cock and not pulling it. 881 00:34:15,030 --> 00:34:18,260 Speaker 4: This might be a G-rated telecast. 882 00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: I cannot believe my ears. 883 00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 3: I cannot believe my ears. Mate, you have finished with 884 00:34:26,420 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 3: the best. 885 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: Oh, my God. 886 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,450 Speaker 3: I nearly fell off the couch anyway. I thought I 887 00:34:32,469 --> 00:34:37,130 Speaker 3: have to back that horse, right? And sure enough, it 888 00:34:37,210 --> 00:34:41,109 Speaker 3: had gate speed, but it didn't finish off. It's very 889 00:34:41,140 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 3: important to finish off. What a world. Well done, Doug. 890 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: Regenerates, we love you!
