Speaker 1: It might look a little different this week, but this
Speaker 1: is the Phantom's Lair. Part of the official AFL Super
Speaker 1: Coach podcast is the Phantom coming to you from the
Speaker 1: actual lair and I'm joined by my friends in Supercoach
Speaker 1: for another big show. The unofficial match sims are now complete.
Speaker 1: We're twenty four hours away from the official games of
Speaker 1: the preseason and then it's all systems go into opening round.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, my friends are back here again, but
Speaker 1: one you might not recognize too much. Our man, the Chief,
Speaker 1: Hayden dos Kenny doesn't want to be recognized anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't think five names. The mullet is gone. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to be chiefed in the cafe anymore. What's happened, Ossie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was time to go. It was pure filth.
Speaker 2: A man on this very show that's joining us kept
Speaker 2: telling me so every day I saw him at work
Speaker 2: of five names, Simon Thomas Wilson here joining us as
Speaker 2: well fans. He told me plenty of times it was
Speaker 2: pure filth. You'll be happy it's gone now, sim.
Speaker 3: I am, I am? I mean part of me wanted
Speaker 3: to see you actually, you know, double down. They keep
Speaker 3: going with it, but you made.
Speaker 1: The right choice man now, so see our man five
Speaker 1: Names Simmy and Thomas Wilson AFL journalists for the Advertiser
Speaker 1: and Code Sports for those just joining in. Of course,
Speaker 1: if again have a look at five names, get on
Speaker 1: Code Sports YouTube watch us watch the video.
Speaker 4: See him there. But DOSSI went to Melbourne last.
Speaker 1: Week, floated with the big wigs over there in the
Speaker 1: AFL world at the Herald Sun on the plane with
Speaker 1: five names, and there was people turning their heads.
Speaker 4: When he was walking down the aisle.
Speaker 1: Was at a big preseason and the people are taking
Speaker 1: those who got plenty.
Speaker 4: For us this week? Don't you five names?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: People actually looking, I wasn't. I was pretend, you know,
Speaker 3: pretend as you know on planes on laser a laser
Speaker 3: focus you do.
Speaker 1: But is a big show, as I mentioned, play to
Speaker 1: talk about plenty of numbers, plenty of Intel, plenty of
Speaker 1: data from the match simulations. But of course subscribe, leave
Speaker 1: your comments, Spotify, Apple, wherever, get your podcasts. We need
Speaker 1: your feedback, We want your feedback. We love your comments.
Speaker 1: We do very much love your comments. A few coming
Speaker 1: mile away this week, which I'm sure we'll get to
Speaker 1: a little bit later. But we love our loyal their listeners.
Speaker 1: If you are a loyal listeners again, but our new
Speaker 1: ones to join our league. Take us on already twelve
Speaker 1: hundred plus in the lair open group. You haven't already
Speaker 1: seven to one nine zero six seven seven one nine
Speaker 1: zero six seven, get in there.
Speaker 4: Take us on. Now. The hipter's in there too, but
Speaker 4: we haven't seen him five Names. Where is he?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. He's missing it at you, isn't he?
Speaker 4: He is the left right? Good night, all night. I
Speaker 4: think it's happened. He hasn't been on since that comment
Speaker 4: popped up, but doss as well.
Speaker 3: Actually what before that? You got a comment the other
Speaker 3: day about the tightness of your jeans pants, which we
Speaker 3: all found really quite funny. So shout out to whoever
Speaker 3: came up with that nugget of gold.
Speaker 1: YEP, that will take anythank you, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: say to us, we'll read it out. Just keep it,
Speaker 1: you know, sign a PG. But we'll take the whack
Speaker 1: and I'll cop the whack. It was just the way
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the five Names. You saw those
Speaker 1: pants on Thursday night, they were not actually that type
Speaker 1: of shout out to all our listeners. But Dossie, it's
Speaker 1: time to get into the big stuff. We have to
Speaker 1: start at the top with you know, we're in rookie
Speaker 1: crisis almost now, some big injuries, none bigger than your
Speaker 1: man Jagger Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, devastating news for the number three overall pick in
Speaker 2: the draft. Carton's Jagger Smith, a popular, popular rookie for
Speaker 2: us all. Unfortunately injuring the a cl so he's going
Speaker 2: to be out for the season, targeting a returning twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. But yeah, just in general, in general footy terms,
Speaker 2: devastating for Jagger. Hopefully, you know, we have seen stars
Speaker 2: of the AFL bounce back from injuries in young in
Speaker 2: their career, so hopefully he can replicate that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: for obviously for a lot of devastated for a lot
Speaker 2: of Blues fans out there as well. But for Jagger himself,
Speaker 2: you know, all the best in his recovery, but we
Speaker 2: now have to wipe him off our super coach teams,
Speaker 2: which he was locked in for all of us. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure fans I.
Speaker 4: Was playing well too. It didn't look like much sometimes
Speaker 4: they never do.
Speaker 1: But Blues played the Saints a few days ago and
Speaker 1: he was looking good as he has all summer copped
Speaker 1: and notcked to the knee, tried to go back on,
Speaker 1: wanted to go back on, and a big blow yes,
Speaker 1: as he mentioned for the Blues, big blow to the
Speaker 1: rookie situation in the midfield. We've spoken about all summer
Speaker 1: about the top end price bracket. It might be the
Speaker 1: year to load up, but we're losing a few doss.
Speaker 1: He might big time for an emergency rookie Bible as well.
Speaker 1: Coming up this week, we might have to get our
Speaker 1: man Dan Batten from the Held Sun to join us,
Speaker 1: so keep a lookout for that on Code Sports YouTube
Speaker 1: and the podcast Shanna hopefully coming your way later this
Speaker 1: week to help you through what might be a rookie crisis.
Speaker 1: Because we know Lea Lombard from the Gold Coast the
Speaker 1: Academy gun up there who last week only we're talking
Speaker 1: about he might be looking or was on track for
Speaker 1: around one. He set for surgery too, So another one
Speaker 1: to cross off the midfield rookie list, but obviously there
Speaker 1: was plenty two like in the recent match sims the
Speaker 1: second half of the match sim of course, we spoke
Speaker 1: about the first few games on last week's show. If
Speaker 1: you haven't watched that, get on there and watch it now.
Speaker 1: Code Sports YouTube. It's all there, and that's what you
Speaker 1: need to look at when picking your team. Because it's
Speaker 1: almost business time in Super Coach.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we've got our Amy Community Series, so we're recording
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon here. We've got the Amy Community Series starting
Speaker 2: tomorrow on Tuesday, February fifteenth, so we'll all be tuning
Speaker 2: into the matches upcoming right through up until the second
Speaker 2: of March. They are starting and getting through, so keen
Speaker 2: to review those on our show next week, fans. But
Speaker 2: as you said, we reviewed the first half of the
Speaker 2: pracking matches last week. Let's dive into Pracking Match Review
Speaker 2: two point zero. We've got some stats, we've got some
Speaker 2: guys we want to talk about, and it all started
Speaker 2: on last week Thursday with the weird three way game
Speaker 2: between Gold Coast Brisbane and Collingwood. The guys talked about
Speaker 2: it last Wednesday on our p the debut episode of
Speaker 2: Breaking Even with our Peyton talked about this ended up
Speaker 2: being a bit of a weird game as expected, but
Speaker 2: sim we got to see a few names that we
Speaker 2: want to talk about, and I'll just kick it off
Speaker 2: with some of the pies, Dekos was dominant, but one
Speaker 2: name that probably emerged in the last couple of weeks
Speaker 2: I've seen his name popping up a bit more on
Speaker 2: socials was Harry Perryman as a mid price defender option
Speaker 2: playing pure midfield. Ninety per cent about's attendances in the
Speaker 2: couple of quarters that we got to see of him.
Speaker 3: That's what we want. That's what you want from a
Speaker 3: from a defender. You even want the pure mid time
Speaker 3: or you want the plane off half back, getting those
Speaker 3: easy kids, those easy possessions, and yeah, he's yeah, he
Speaker 3: moved from Gds to Colin. We're talking about, you know,
Speaker 3: wanting to become ore of a midfielder. Seems like that's
Speaker 3: on the cards and he's a really nice price he's founding.
Speaker 3: It's definitely for some people he's jumping right into contention.
Speaker 1: That's where he landed at the Giants when he was
Speaker 1: drafted as a midfielder in his junior days, but obviously
Speaker 1: landed at the Giants with a plethora of other gun
Speaker 1: young midfielders. So it's a credit to his versatility and
Speaker 1: what he's able to do elsewhere across the park up
Speaker 1: there in Western Sydney.
Speaker 4: But you know, even in his brief stinted out of.
Speaker 1: The midfield so far over his AFL career's averaged in
Speaker 1: the nineties. That four seventeen K price tag has him
Speaker 1: priced in the seventies. So we're always looking for players
Speaker 1: who are probably priced under what under their output, and
Speaker 1: Harry Perriman definitely.
Speaker 4: Fits into that.
Speaker 1: It's still at four seventeen although the values there, DOSSI,
Speaker 1: is there enough or is the price too awkward to
Speaker 1: start him? Because what does he need to average to
Speaker 1: make it a successful pick?
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's probably the winning question that we always
Speaker 2: ask every single year. But I don't know, I think
Speaker 2: there is enough upside. It just really depends how that
Speaker 2: midfield mix shakes out and if he's getting you know,
Speaker 2: I know this was only a couple of quarters ninety
Speaker 2: percent set, like if he's in there all the time
Speaker 2: constantly as that midfielder, you know, we're always looking for
Speaker 2: role and while it is just a preseason game, that's
Speaker 2: probably an early indicator. We probably have looked at the
Speaker 2: Collingwood's midfield depth in the last couple of years and
Speaker 2: been like, that is an area that they're you know,
Speaker 2: clearly looking to address and I probably hadn't thought of
Speaker 2: his name as much as maybe I should have in
Speaker 2: the preseason. But I think it's also weighing up. We've
Speaker 2: talked about the buyers constantly in the lead up to
Speaker 2: making our Super Coach teams here, but they have Colinwood
Speaker 2: have that round three buy as well, So I think
Speaker 2: it's just making sure that you don't over saturate your
Speaker 2: team with these Round three buyers are a reminder to
Speaker 2: anyone at home Brisbane, Collingwood, Geelong and Sydney on that
Speaker 2: round three by So if you've got guys, if you're
Speaker 2: backing in a Nick Deekos as well, after his incredible display,
Speaker 2: a few concerns coming off the plant to fascia planto
Speaker 2: fash ititis in the preseason feels like that's the new
Speaker 2: hamstring awareness or the sindosmosis as well this year the
Speaker 2: planta fasciardists, but he shook that off. If you're going
Speaker 2: with the decass, you know, if Callum Mills appears to
Speaker 2: be okay, we'll talk about him soon. If there's other guys,
Speaker 2: Levi Ashcroft, you're going to start. You just got to
Speaker 2: balance your team and be aware of that, but promising
Speaker 2: signs from Perrimount.
Speaker 3: I want to bring up from the pies. Reef McKennis
Speaker 3: looks like he's in that defensive roll. Real cheap forward,
Speaker 3: well two hundred k forward. He's someone who's I guess
Speaker 3: is now becoming of interest with all these others going down.
Speaker 2: Don't have the pads here in because we're not in
Speaker 2: the studio on this episode, but that would be a
Speaker 2: pure pil Worthy I'd say that that's not pure pill.
Speaker 3: That's you know, he's They've been talking about him playing
Speaker 3: in defense a bit this you know, this is pre season.
Speaker 3: He's gonna he should go back there. You know he's
Speaker 3: got he can play, so if he gets a chance,
Speaker 3: like you know, he's just yeah, that two hundred is
Speaker 3: a bit of a weird price at times, but if
Speaker 3: everyone else is going down, he might be. It might
Speaker 3: be a little option there or sneaky flaps at least, and.
Speaker 1: We might not be paying for scoring. It's hard to
Speaker 1: be sure what he's going to do in the role,
Speaker 1: but sometimes we do pay for job security with rookie.
Speaker 1: So we'll see how the next week plays out with games.
Speaker 1: But I don't mind that and Dossi mentioned the Ashcrofts
Speaker 1: will obviously wasn't it didn't do his chances any harm
Speaker 1: or it didn't stand out either, but it's hard to
Speaker 1: stand out. His brother played the second two quarter game
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, so six quarters three teams. This is
Speaker 1: why last week I wasn't happy with your overreactions and
Speaker 1: the overreactions of the super Coach community, because teams are
Speaker 1: trying things. You can see that you know five names,
Speaker 1: six periods at Mount Barker as well for the summer showdown,
Speaker 1: which Simmon will take us through very shortly, so a
Speaker 1: lot to take out, but also hopefully find out a
Speaker 1: bit more because well Levi Ashcroft, did you know enough
Speaker 1: when he was on what does actually mean to where
Speaker 1: he fits into the opening round side given he missed
Speaker 1: that first game, I.
Speaker 3: Think the big thing, the good thing almost is with
Speaker 3: his opening round teams, especially guy with Levi Ashtroft, is
Speaker 3: another look at him this week that you're going to
Speaker 3: see a little more of what Brisbane are going to
Speaker 3: play for this year and then you see him opening round,
Speaker 3: so then you get to kind of crats to see
Speaker 3: where he fits into their team because they're stabbed at
Speaker 3: the ragining premiers. If he's their opening round, not the
Speaker 3: star playing well, then you can pick him pretty confidently
Speaker 3: going forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it was pretty funny watching bits and pieces
Speaker 2: of this as well, with the lines. When the Suns
Speaker 2: came on, it was completely different, Like the Pies the
Speaker 2: Lions was pretty pretty casual, and then the Suns came
Speaker 2: on and it was the Q clash and it was
Speaker 2: a bit of fire in this contest. But let's talk
Speaker 2: about some of the Suns that caught the eye. I mean,
Speaker 2: Maddie Row was outstanding. I know he started last year
Speaker 2: on fire and then tailed off, but he's definitely what
Speaker 2: I'd like to watch. He's got the early buyers, so
Speaker 2: I'm probably not in the frame for my starting team,
Speaker 2: but I do want to keep an eye on him
Speaker 2: early days, especially with that contract sort of or situation
Speaker 2: looming as well. See if he could have a big
Speaker 2: career year for Maddie Row. If he can retain his
Speaker 2: start of the season for the full season, he'd be
Speaker 2: a monster. Bailey Humphrey though a bit of a smoky.
Speaker 2: I think he was brought up on an early podcast
Speaker 2: by Damo, the guest that came on. I think he
Speaker 2: mentioned that Bailey Humphrey was a smoky option for him.
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, just up forward. I don't know if the
Speaker 2: price is very tricky, but he has had some stretches
Speaker 2: fans of performing well in Supercoach.
Speaker 1: I think with his skill set, you know, you can
Speaker 1: have a big impact. Doesn't need thirty touches to score
Speaker 1: well in Super Coach. He's shown that already early in
Speaker 1: his career and back at junior level two. So very
Speaker 1: much a high impact play and we love those in
Speaker 1: Super Coach, but definitely in the wait and see basket
Speaker 1: need the full side.
Speaker 4: Is there enough upside to begin with?
Speaker 1: Is he going to bit of a slow burn in
Speaker 1: terms of finding that consistency at the top level all
Speaker 1: the talent in the world, but I do want to
Speaker 1: see a little bit more. But you know, if you
Speaker 1: are just joining us for the first time, Sam Flanders,
Speaker 1: he's still not there for the Suns, the one we
Speaker 1: all wanted to see, you know. He is really an
Speaker 1: a racing against the clock now to be fit for
Speaker 1: the start of the Super Coach season. So unfortunately DOSSI
Speaker 1: was still very much a weight and see there. But
Speaker 1: I think very much a weight and see on a
Speaker 1: lot of the suns for mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, and that early but I just does not
Speaker 2: help mac Andrew. I don't want to. He's just a
Speaker 2: their favorite. I just thought i'd throw him out there.
Speaker 2: It's funny. I was looking back at his season last
Speaker 2: year because the hipster is a big fan of mac Andrew.
Speaker 2: He's start to last year. He starts to last year.
Speaker 2: He was averaging up until round thirteen, he was averaging
Speaker 2: eighty six super Coach points and he's priced down at
Speaker 2: seventy three and he looks like he's going to take
Speaker 2: another step up. So he was averaging nearly a ton
Speaker 2: for the first sort of six weeks of the season
Speaker 2: last year. He's one to watch for me, but probably
Speaker 2: flying up my draft boards more than anything rather than
Speaker 2: a classic selection. Let's get onto the next game. That
Speaker 2: that was Sydney g w S and probably just the
Speaker 2: big one that we're all kind to see fans was
Speaker 2: Callum Mills who didn't play.
Speaker 1: I know, disappointing now he's had his injury troubles to
Speaker 1: see him not there and we know those feet. When
Speaker 1: there's problems with a foot, it's always an issue. That's
Speaker 1: where he is all the time.
Speaker 2: The planning you've got.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not good, but I think we have sort
Speaker 1: of been reassured since then you know that you're going
Speaker 1: to be okay or should be okay. But those things
Speaker 1: don't just go away. So will they rest him, will
Speaker 1: they be cautious with him? Will they sub him off
Speaker 1: during games when they're up? So that is a big
Speaker 1: question mark over him again. But they want him in
Speaker 1: the midfield, as Dean Cox has said, which you know
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: A hard one.
Speaker 1: What do you think is it put you off too
Speaker 1: much in terms of the thought of what they could
Speaker 1: do with it, how they manage him.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about it. Yeah, I mean I think at
Speaker 2: this stage, sim my position is because he's got the
Speaker 2: early buy that everyone else has, I think I'm just
Speaker 2: going to wait now and see how this all plays out. Obviously,
Speaker 2: if he smashes it in opening round, we get to
Speaker 2: see that at least, but that's where I'm standing. I'm
Speaker 2: unless he dominates opening round, I'm probably just gonna avoid. Like,
Speaker 2: if he gets a seventy or an eighty or even
Speaker 2: an eighty five or something, I'm probably like, eh, I'll
Speaker 2: just you know, I'll sit back and wait and see.
Speaker 3: Or you could go a pair him in instead. That's
Speaker 3: not too you know, not a massive amount in terms
Speaker 3: of cash bead. No. I think that's the other thing
Speaker 3: opening around. You just have to see what he's like.
Speaker 3: If he plays, you know, plays the whole game, does
Speaker 3: get subbed off? Scores one twenty, that's fine, Yeah, Golden
Speaker 3: just drove him. He's that cheap. But yeah, if there
Speaker 3: are some issues, yeah, just throw someone else and then
Speaker 3: wait till he's chief as and then bring him up
Speaker 3: after bring him in after there by?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about DOSSI plays opening round, has eighty in
Speaker 1: the first half, Sydney and cruising get subbed off.
Speaker 4: You've seen what you've wanted to see in terms of
Speaker 4: his scoring and his role. Just say, then he.
Speaker 1: Gets subbed off. Are you letting that go in round one?
Speaker 1: Or you're taking it because of the price. It could
Speaker 1: really be a big potential call that we're going.
Speaker 4: To have to make.
Speaker 2: It's a huge call any subvest I think I'm out
Speaker 2: to be honest. I mean, that would be a very
Speaker 2: tough scenario fans that you've laid out there for us.
Speaker 2: But I think the thing that I've actually just changed
Speaker 2: in terms of when I'm looking at Calum Mills, though,
Speaker 2: now is that in my current team. I'm just not
Speaker 2: having him in my plans because I don't want to
Speaker 2: have to rotate late. You know, you say that it's
Speaker 2: pretty close price difference between him and pairm and it's
Speaker 2: still going to be seventy eighty K that I need
Speaker 2: to find. So at the moment, I'm just leaving him
Speaker 2: off my plans. And then if I manage, like you said,
Speaker 2: if there's a scenario where he just dominates over around,
Speaker 2: I can pick him. I'll just bring him back in.
Speaker 2: But for now he's just out of my team. Should
Speaker 2: we move on to some other names in this one?
Speaker 2: Angus Sheldrick, you know a solid pode.
Speaker 4: You're excited about this one?
Speaker 2: Well, hoping he plays. He's another guy that I'd love
Speaker 2: to say. I personally think he's more likely to be
Speaker 2: a guy that gets the subvest a few times this year.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but he's one to watch. I just really
Speaker 2: love the way he goes about it long term stud
Speaker 2: but at the moment, yeah, hoping he plays. I heard
Speaker 2: on the Your Coach podcast by the AFL Dean Cox
Speaker 2: was talking about Sydney and their structures this year, how
Speaker 2: he's going to approach coaching, and he just mentioned how
Speaker 2: tight a mix that they had last year in terms
Speaker 2: of not spending, not many people on the roster outside
Speaker 2: of the core, you know, mix of players they had
Speaker 2: got to go and that's something that he is looking
Speaker 2: to bring in this year. Blood more players get more
Speaker 2: mixed through there and Anger Sheldrick was one of those
Speaker 2: players that he did mention, So he's definitely one to
Speaker 2: watch for us. Ben patten Ford defender, he does seem
Speaker 2: to be in the mix for that early best twenty
Speaker 2: two fans. Any interest in him one thirty three k's
Speaker 2: you know he's played the Saints before.
Speaker 4: He's interesting one.
Speaker 1: We've spoken about him before in the Riley Bis conversation
Speaker 1: the mature aga from the VFL, but Ben patten has
Speaker 1: done it. As you mentioned. If he's there, it's a
Speaker 1: it is a great price and that jewel position status
Speaker 1: the swing. He's one that you put out my rookie
Speaker 1: ranks last week. Code sports dot com dot Au didn't
Speaker 1: have him in, but that all those numbers needs a
Speaker 1: bit of work. Plenty happening in the rookie conversation, but
Speaker 1: here is one I'm looking forward to watching in the
Speaker 1: Amy games, seeing just exactly how he does fit in,
Speaker 1: what his outputs like, how he fits in not just
Speaker 1: in the side, but alongside.
Speaker 4: Your Matt Robertson's.
Speaker 1: You're Nick Blakey's too, even more so from what we
Speaker 1: saw last week. So definitely high on the watch this
Speaker 1: this week because you know you can't discount him.
Speaker 4: Definitely not at that price.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you who should be I reckon every super
Speaker 3: coache should be watching this week their match, their their practice,
Speaker 3: preseason match gws because they could be the answer to
Speaker 3: our rookie crisis.
Speaker 4: Well hopefully five names.
Speaker 1: James Leak was another move featured high on those rookie
Speaker 1: rank kings. The tool utility that came to the Giants
Speaker 1: play at either end, but moved to the midfield in
Speaker 1: the VFL last year, put up some good numbers and
Speaker 1: then went head to head with Tom Green over some
Speaker 1: of Tom Green's injured hope, hoping that Leak was going
Speaker 1: to come straight in. We didn't see him until the
Speaker 1: second half, you know, of the longer form game there
Speaker 1: on the weekends. It didn't seem to be starting in
Speaker 1: that best gw WES side.
Speaker 4: But as we'll touch on with all.
Speaker 1: These games and some internal stuff as well, that clubs
Speaker 1: are throwing these guys around, they might do different things,
Speaker 1: and we've seen it happen over the past few years.
Speaker 1: We've always written someone off after a match SIM and
Speaker 1: our internal come to the Amy community series with the
Speaker 1: official game and they're there, so very much.
Speaker 4: Await and see.
Speaker 1: Would have like to see him there the first and
Speaker 1: a bounce or at least in that what looked to
Speaker 1: be the first twenty two or twenty three that played
Speaker 1: those first three quarters, but not writing him off just yet.
Speaker 3: Just going a GWS's match report when they had I
Speaker 3: guess something on their website talking about the youngsters how
Speaker 3: they win their first hit out of the season. This
Speaker 3: is what I said about Lee. The untried draft did
Speaker 3: his chances of an AFL debut this season no harm
Speaker 3: with a superb performance playing across the final four terms
Speaker 3: of the match SIM played in the middle and down back.
Speaker 3: He appeared to be playing with a drive footy despite
Speaker 3: the slipper conditions, highlighted by two strong contested marks in
Speaker 3: the middle of the round, possessing great ball winning ability,
Speaker 3: strong hands in the air, and a ferocious desire to
Speaker 3: tackle and apply pressure. So sometimes you still look at
Speaker 3: these you know what the clubs are saying on their
Speaker 3: websites about it, you know they're pumping up a lot,
Speaker 3: so that's a good sign. There's also two other guys
Speaker 3: that are really jumped into considerations for me. Well one
Speaker 3: hopefully it's the name, right, I'll say Ron Hang, Tody,
Speaker 3: Andro and gov and danjev and Jove. How do you
Speaker 3: say that he was reckon? He's jumped right into the
Speaker 3: calculations for a bench spot at least for me, And
Speaker 3: looks like conn of Stone's also going to be playing
Speaker 3: down back, which is kind of pretty tempting.
Speaker 1: And I think back to the leak thing as well
Speaker 1: to my point about what they're trying. You know, he's
Speaker 1: not going to be in maybe their top three e
Speaker 1: Stentard bounce of rotation, so you know they played him
Speaker 1: in the next quarter so he could play three cords
Speaker 1: in the midfield. You know, it's better than they're not
Speaker 1: always going to play him in that first group where
Speaker 1: he plays twenty percent midfield and the rest at half
Speaker 1: four because he've got all your big names running around.
Speaker 1: So like I think we'll talk about just say Elijah
Speaker 1: hewittt from that the Eagles, Doss is telling them he's
Speaker 1: in the B side in match him. But as DOSSI
Speaker 1: said as well, because he've got a full hit out
Speaker 1: in the midfield. So clubs do different things. You have
Speaker 1: to sort of look into a little bit deeper there,
Speaker 1: like five names mentioned and hopefully hopefully we'll see James
Speaker 1: Leak in that Best Gows side for the Amy series.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a really good point though, when
Speaker 2: we do see these especially intra clubs out there and
Speaker 2: we see the squads because they want to play if
Speaker 2: they want them in that fourth fifth mid rotation, they're
Speaker 2: not going to play them in the squad as a
Speaker 2: forward or whatever, because they'll just be sitting on the bench.
Speaker 2: In reality, they're going to be sitting on the bench
Speaker 2: and coming on to play midfield. So yeah, like a
Speaker 2: guy like Hewitt and even an Erasmus or maybe even
Speaker 2: a Sheldric like these guys are still in frame, but
Speaker 2: they might be playing on the B team just to
Speaker 2: get that mid time. So I think is a good
Speaker 2: point to look out for. Last thing on this game,
Speaker 2: your man, Maddy Roberts fans not a heap of love
Speaker 2: on the kickings. He only took one Nick Blakey five
Speaker 2: Oli Florent two. Any concerns with your man, Maddi Roberts
Speaker 2: for a big breakout.
Speaker 1: Year, it'd be tough getting the kicking when Nick blake
Speaker 1: is around. You sprint back there to get them. Oli
Speaker 1: Florent took a couple, as you mentioned, but no, no
Speaker 1: concern Let's see what happens when we get some official numbers.
Speaker 1: We know they like to go to him, They like
Speaker 1: to give it back to him again he can. He's
Speaker 1: not going to be the number one kicking kicking man.
Speaker 1: Nick Blakey is going to be that guy again as
Speaker 1: he was last year. But you know, if Matt Roberts
Speaker 1: is Nick Blakey's go to in the pocket, then that's
Speaker 1: all we want to So no big concerns just yet.
Speaker 4: Obviously you'd rather see a bigger score than not.
Speaker 1: But he's back in, really back in the conversation with
Speaker 1: me with If Callum Mills doesn't get up, I've set
Speaker 1: it on the show before, can you start both of them?
Speaker 1: Probably not a fit Meal. You probably can't pick Roberts
Speaker 1: over him over his skipper, but if Meals is not there,
Speaker 1: it helps out with my balance in that nasty early buy,
Speaker 1: so made Roberts back in the conversation, despite as he
Speaker 1: mentioned that one kicking.
Speaker 2: Let's get onto the next game, and we've got our
Speaker 2: expert a reporter here, Simeon Thomas Wilson aka five Names,
Speaker 2: Adelaide v Port Mount Barker last week, talk us through it,
Speaker 2: talk us through some options we can be talking about
Speaker 2: from Adelaide.
Speaker 3: I was hoping this guy, and this is selfish in me,
Speaker 3: I was hoping this guy would continue to sneak under
Speaker 3: the radar and I would get him as a nice
Speaker 3: little pod and I would be absolutely laughing. Jake Celigo
Speaker 3: just put all my best laid plans, just kill them.
Speaker 3: He absolutely destroyed it. Yes, Rankin wasn't there, he was ill.
Speaker 3: But Celeijo, I think he's actually a really interesting option
Speaker 3: now he's well priced. His price is like his price
Speaker 3: is four forty seven, like he's and he's going to
Speaker 3: there's still you know, is he going to at't got
Speaker 3: more guys going through that midfield. But I still think
Speaker 3: he's going to play so much on the ball and
Speaker 3: I think he's in for an absolute breakout year. So yeah, Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: I think people are going to catch on the myst
Speaker 3: legal idea that's not Yeah, that's what that one up
Speaker 3: because I was selfish. Pete Ling's I think he's done.
Speaker 3: I mean again, lesson ranking isn't there, But like what
Speaker 3: the worst that's going to do is? I mean he
Speaker 3: plays a little more half forward. I think he's doing
Speaker 3: everything that you want to see at that price. You
Speaker 3: know he's the guy there. Dawson obviously playing you know,
Speaker 3: the Crow's midfield, but pretty much they really beat Port's midfield.
Speaker 3: Junt Franciso was excellent. Probably he's I think if you
Speaker 3: do want to go with him and F one or
Speaker 3: F two, you wouldn't be persuaded from that. Yeah, what
Speaker 3: else of that? Joe Berry, I think he's all but
Speaker 3: locked in for a round one day boot. He looked
Speaker 3: has some really nice moments, like really good moments. So
Speaker 3: he's more bench option, but you could definitely roll with him.
Speaker 3: He should get games early on Draper again, he shows
Speaker 3: he's got something. I was just feared he's got subritten
Speaker 3: all over him. For me, Draper, what do we want
Speaker 3: to talk about?
Speaker 4: Well, I just go back to Jake Sligo. You mentioned
Speaker 4: just his price, A big pod four k you.
Speaker 1: Mentioned cheaper than the Clayton Oliver, So could you pick
Speaker 1: a Jake Sleigo over Clayton Oliver would be a big cook.
Speaker 1: We know Jake Sligo can go big, as he's done
Speaker 1: at the start of last season in particular, so I
Speaker 1: don't mind that.
Speaker 4: But back to Jordan Dawson.
Speaker 1: You spoke about it on last week's show from the
Speaker 1: internal trial up in Port Perry DOSSI was pretty keen
Speaker 1: to find out what Jordan Dawson was doing where he
Speaker 1: was being used. But again as we saw up in
Speaker 1: Mount Barker, predominantly in the midfield again, which is what
Speaker 1: does he wants to see? He got excited last week.
Speaker 1: Did you both see enough again? You know we've discussed
Speaker 1: the chances that he's used around the place to fix
Speaker 1: holes when Matthew Nicks needs some help elsewhere. But again,
Speaker 1: impressive performance in the midfield from the skipper.
Speaker 3: I reckon if you're if you're considering him or you
Speaker 3: like him, yeah, go ahead, like he's definitely going to
Speaker 3: be I mean he had four tackles as well. You
Speaker 3: know he's one of those yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 3: he's one of those guys that he should be feeling
Speaker 3: pretty good about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's been in my plans for a while now.
Speaker 2: I'm just so high on him proving his year from
Speaker 2: last year, which was a stinker of a start for
Speaker 2: his standards, you know, low one hundred average four. Dawson
Speaker 2: for me just feels unders for what the great man,
Speaker 2: the Captain of the Adelaide Crows can achieve. I just
Speaker 2: wonder I just bringing it up now because it feels
Speaker 2: like everyone at AID is an option this year, and
Speaker 2: everyone feels like everyone's going to improve, everyone's going to
Speaker 2: improve their average. I think Dawson's going to do better.
Speaker 2: Sim thinks Celego's having a breakout year. We all are
Speaker 2: pretty high on James Petling, Rankin's going to have a
Speaker 2: superstar Like they can't all be amazing in general, Like
Speaker 2: some person's going to miss out or we're going to
Speaker 2: not all get that upside that we're after. I thought
Speaker 2: maybe I bring to the table is Petling maybe the
Speaker 2: one that doesn't play as much mid time as we suspect.
Speaker 2: You've got a guy like Saligo coming through that had
Speaker 2: that superstar game. Peteling is more of your grunt sort
Speaker 2: of work rate midfielder. Does he end up playing what
Speaker 2: we've seen like a ben Keyes do in the last
Speaker 2: couple of years, sim and play more forward.
Speaker 3: I think there's I think that is a possibility, but
Speaker 3: I think you got to look at his price, like
Speaker 3: his price is cheap enough where what is it he
Speaker 3: needs maybe like eighties or something, you know, eighties nine,
Speaker 3: which you know still could probably get that half forty.
Speaker 3: These definitely will go through the midfield at some point.
Speaker 3: I don't know how much. I think maybe you see
Speaker 3: Celego go to a wing at some point. But then
Speaker 3: but even though you know you do get worried about
Speaker 3: him going on wing, he goes straight to the contest
Speaker 3: after that. That's something that stood out for me when
Speaker 3: I saw him with Paul Pierry. So I feel like
Speaker 3: you probably cook like at the moment, I'm going with
Speaker 3: Rank and Celego and feeling a little bit of a risk,
Speaker 3: but I feel like you probably can get away with three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still in for me as well as five,
Speaker 1: and then mentioned three point fifty two. K doesn't need
Speaker 1: to be your first choice midfielder as long as he's
Speaker 1: in the rotation, and amateur stats canon had him as
Speaker 1: seventeen touches and six tackles six marks in the first
Speaker 1: three quarters before they flip their side. So I think
Speaker 1: he can do enough. We know he's hungry.
Speaker 3: We know he.
Speaker 1: Attacks the body as well as you showed at Mount Barky,
Speaker 1: works hard into space and back the other way too,
Speaker 1: So I think he's going to do enough at the
Speaker 1: price is that ranking conversation? I think it's a It
Speaker 1: is a good question, Junior, But again in that.
Speaker 4: Forward pool, you know, doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3: I think you get you just have to watch it
Speaker 3: this week. Yeah, yeah, that's what you got to say.
Speaker 4: With the Horny One.
Speaker 1: Now, five Names and I were over in Melbourne, you know,
Speaker 1: there for two days. Our peyton was didn't didn't shop
Speaker 1: on the second. They didn't want to face the conversation
Speaker 1: of the Horny One. But surely he's got him in
Speaker 1: now he's still being stubborn, hasn't got him in yet.
Speaker 1: But I'm just not sure what else the Horny one
Speaker 1: has to do. We don't really have to talk about
Speaker 1: it anymore, but we know our listens, so we wait.
Speaker 4: We wait, with have to get him out. Just talk
Speaker 4: about the Horny one.
Speaker 3: One day, didn't the Horny one come into his team
Speaker 3: briefly though, that's what I heard.
Speaker 4: Who knows.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to back out now, But I
Speaker 1: saw some the ideas floating around in the super coach
Speaker 1: community given the mid price options as popping up again.
Speaker 1: These are only glorified training sessions and practice matches, So
Speaker 1: we can't be changing up and put in all these
Speaker 1: mid price of guys on the back of what we've
Speaker 1: seen so far. Let's wait until after next week. But
Speaker 1: the thought was, you know, his horn France is the
Speaker 1: one that makes way. We saw Hugo Garcia put his
Speaker 1: hand up to become another serious selection or consideration in
Speaker 1: the mid price bracket in the forward line, and the
Speaker 1: thought was to we drop Horn Frances save some money
Speaker 1: by doing that.
Speaker 4: But I just don't think you can. I think you know,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: You can get to one teen if you're in this forward, Paul,
Speaker 1: if you're not picking him, you're going to be behind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to the point of our Adelaide conversation before,
Speaker 2: I'd prefer to start Horn Francis than a rankin. If
Speaker 2: you've got that one big forward, I'd be dropping ranking
Speaker 2: even just only because we haven't seen him play for
Speaker 2: Adelaide yet. He played for the Indigenous All Stars in
Speaker 2: that game. But that was you know, we couldn't take
Speaker 2: anything out of that as to where what his role
Speaker 2: is going to be like this year, big big watch
Speaker 2: on the practice match again, as we said this week,
Speaker 2: the official one with Adelaide and Brisbane. But yeah, that's
Speaker 2: the toss up for me. If I downgrade one, it
Speaker 2: won't be Jason Horn Francis. Let's get onto the Carlton
Speaker 2: Saint Kilter game. You just mentioned a player that's was
Speaker 2: very relevant. We might as well just start with him.
Speaker 2: Hugo Garcia getting plenty of mid time two hundred and
Speaker 2: forty five k as a forward, see him? Any interest
Speaker 2: in this guy? He's a tackling machine, is Hugo Garcia
Speaker 2: And now he's in that midfield mix for the Saints
Speaker 2: with a guy like mattaus Philippa who was in their
Speaker 2: plans all pre season going down. Looks like he's taking
Speaker 2: a bit of that role.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like him. I've I'm trying to figure a
Speaker 3: way how to get him in. He'd be a nice
Speaker 3: flats woun't he like just a little price he might
Speaker 3: be ideing the forward LI like, I just yeah, I
Speaker 3: think it looks like he's going to be the third
Speaker 3: the third guy in that Saint's midfield, which if that
Speaker 3: the role, If that's the case this week, he has
Speaker 3: to be like he's almost like he must have, isn't he.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So looking at some of the CBA's Center Bounce
Speaker 2: attendances from the weekend taken by Matt Forrest, you know
Speaker 2: you can check those out as well, el Son or Code.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about enough, Oh yeah, right, his work.
Speaker 2: There was I mean, this is their midfield mix ninety
Speaker 2: six percent for Jack Steel of the center bouncers, Jack McCrae,
Speaker 2: who will talk about in the second eighty six percent,
Speaker 2: he was definitely in the midfield. And then you had
Speaker 2: just a pretty tight mix here Hugo Garcia with sixty
Speaker 2: four percent, so he was third banana there. And then
Speaker 2: if you box all a bit of a rookie option
Speaker 2: as well. So as we said we're going to be touching,
Speaker 2: there's going to be the rookie Bible coming out. Just
Speaker 2: keep an eye out for that for all these names,
Speaker 2: but Hugo Garcia, to Sim's point, you know, he's he's
Speaker 2: in there in the midfield mix fans and surely some
Speaker 2: interest from you as well just quickly though.
Speaker 1: The Dan Batton is very very excited about the upcoming
Speaker 1: rookie Bible additions. Some big names coming in, some big
Speaker 1: updated verdicts, so keep an.
Speaker 4: Eye out for that.
Speaker 1: Hugo Garcia isn't I don't think a massive over actionally
Speaker 1: know I'm big on my overactions, Dossy, but we spoke
Speaker 1: about this guy last year. Tackles, wins contested footy. What
Speaker 1: he does is good for his supercoat scoring comes in
Speaker 1: hopefully going to get more opportunity because he's shown in
Speaker 1: glimpses that you know, his points per minute if you
Speaker 1: went back and looked at it in his limited opportunity
Speaker 1: was pretty good.
Speaker 4: Last season.
Speaker 1: So I think he was very much a trading option
Speaker 1: at one point last year. So Locke might be a
Speaker 1: little bit too far yet five days, but definitely he's
Speaker 1: one and I don't change my side a lot, but
Speaker 1: he has come in to my team and I think potentially,
Speaker 1: you know, we could start this guy on field in
Speaker 1: the midfield as well. Again, necessarily have to take an
Speaker 1: Isaac Rankin out to fit him in. We've had some
Speaker 1: injuries for rookies in the midfield, so maybe restructure up
Speaker 1: and he's your DPP swing potentially to start the season,
Speaker 1: because yeah, I agree, I'm on board. Then hopefully see
Speaker 1: or tick one more box in the Amy game.
Speaker 2: Plenty of other cheapies on watch, and as we said,
Speaker 2: you know the Rookie Bible, you'll cover a lot of
Speaker 2: these names, but I'll just mention them here. Lim O'Connell
Speaker 2: was impressive, playing a bit of wing as we said,
Speaker 2: Hugh Boxall playing a bit through the midfield. Angus Hasty,
Speaker 2: who Lee Montagne dropped last week on the Wednesday podcast
Speaker 2: breaking even with our as an option playing in the
Speaker 2: back line, which I'm very interested in. Angus Hayes, he
Speaker 2: took some really nice intercepts, so he's available as a
Speaker 2: basement price midfielder as well. They all had their moments,
Speaker 2: but Trevalia was probably the one that is massively owned
Speaker 2: and also flagged by Lee Montagne. Is maybe not being
Speaker 2: a first choice option for ross Lyne at the Saints
Speaker 2: at this stage.
Speaker 4: Joey your man on the money so far, but did
Speaker 4: kick a big bomb. The Seiler pretty much did.
Speaker 1: Javalier coming on again given what we've been told and
Speaker 1: then what we saw is a worry. But we can't
Speaker 1: just write him off just yet. Ross might have seen
Speaker 1: enough in the short space of time there to give
Speaker 1: him a.
Speaker 4: Full run this week. That's what we're hoping for.
Speaker 1: But is a concern, so look at your backup plans,
Speaker 1: Angus Hasty. Now we have spoken about him on the show.
Speaker 1: You a bit of a running joke when our tried
Speaker 1: to bring him in last year, we shot him down, the.
Speaker 4: Phantom shot him down.
Speaker 1: So probably o Angus Hasty a bit of an apology,
Speaker 1: had to put him back into the Rookie Bible because
Speaker 1: yes he was good and the new super coach Ambassador,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned there, does know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: So back on the watch list for the Amy Games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just going to touch on Jack McCrae really quickly.
Speaker 2: He's all locked in our team. Do we need to
Speaker 2: thirty four disposals? Absolute gun. No need to talk about
Speaker 2: him anymore. See Harry Boyd as well. Does he play
Speaker 2: Round one still in? You know, still in some concern there,
Speaker 2: I suppose whether they want to roll with Roald Marshall
Speaker 2: solo ruck. It's just to watch ninety nine k Ruck
Speaker 2: for Harry Boyd. You know he played pretty well. But
Speaker 2: will they go with two rucks. Will they play him
Speaker 2: alongside Roald Marshall is the question?
Speaker 3: And so yeah, sorry, Gussie, I'm just before you get that.
Speaker 3: What about Ari Shawn Makers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's os gonna. Yeah, it didn't play d D
Speaker 2: NP for my ma and Ari haven't heard it. Haven't
Speaker 2: heard team as well.
Speaker 3: This is good, is it.
Speaker 2: Let's hope that it was illness or something just not
Speaker 2: published out there. But yeah, I mean seeing someone like
Speaker 2: an Angus Hasty playing as an interceptor and distributing, they
Speaker 2: might just not want another bigger body back there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: very very concerning for the Truthers, the Aras Maker truths
Speaker 2: love myself out there?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Does he another one of your men? Speaking of alarm bells,
Speaker 1: the big pit Mark Pittnett stand that started in the
Speaker 1: ruck for the Bluesy or man inside fifty TDK.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a bit about TDK being worried about him.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not overreacting, you say, you say,
Speaker 2: don't overreact. I'm not overreacting to this guy. I've been
Speaker 2: He's been on my watch list the moment he took
Speaker 2: the reins last year in that rock roll. Why would
Speaker 2: you change from a dominant display that he had showed
Speaker 2: he look look at the stats as well. We had,
Speaker 2: as we said, amateur stat takers out there taking some stats.
Speaker 2: This was Jordan Desenna. He was on the show last
Speaker 2: week with US fifteen boss five marks, eleven hitouts and
Speaker 2: a goal in just three quarters before resting. So a
Speaker 2: lot of these alarm bells worried about he played a
Speaker 2: forward rock role. Yes, Pittnet, there's no guarantee he's going
Speaker 2: to play in the same team anyway. That's just my take.
Speaker 2: I think I'm happy to still start him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, five names. He's learning.
Speaker 1: This is a proud father son moment. Hit on the lair,
Speaker 1: Fantom seeing your Phantom Junior. He is catching on, backing himself.
Speaker 1: He're not overreacting. I like it, Dossie, Thanks Mane.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Also impressed by Adam Cherer, who I'm
Speaker 2: certainly confident in now seeing his role and I mean,
Speaker 2: as we said with the Jagger Smith news as well,
Speaker 2: if he was even pegged for some mid time. I
Speaker 2: think Cherre is going to be an inside midfielder this
Speaker 2: season as predominantly. So I'm happy with you.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry Off before you're talking about Naz.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just looks great, and I just wanted to
Speaker 2: mention that we'll be releasing some stuff on the socials
Speaker 2: in the weeks from Captain's Day. But Jack Steele talking
Speaker 2: about a breakout player, he said he's already obviously broken out,
Speaker 2: but he says Nazaia, Wangan and Miller, he mentioned going
Speaker 2: to another level, that he's just had an unbelievable preseason,
Speaker 2: which I know five names, you and myself have been
Speaker 2: all over him.
Speaker 3: He's a lot.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's locked for me as well as my
Speaker 2: I think D two and I'm not a discussion who's
Speaker 2: going to be D two, but I'm really liking him there.
Speaker 1: Now, Dozzy quickly before we move on. We know doing
Speaker 1: some great work we've drafted. Get all your super Coach
Speaker 1: draft needs in the Code Sports YouTube channel, but just
Speaker 1: don Jack mccraye, we don't need to talk about it.
Speaker 1: But how early is too early to pick him in
Speaker 1: your super coach draft?
Speaker 2: Could you pick him in the second round given the
Speaker 2: four available? Yeah, it puts how many people are in
Speaker 2: your draft league. But yeah, if you're looking at like
Speaker 2: a ten to twelve man league, if the guys like depends,
Speaker 2: if you rate Horn Francis and ranking ahead of him.
Speaker 2: But if you've got him in the same league there,
Speaker 2: I think you might be able to wait a little
Speaker 2: bit longer given the mids of flying off the board early.
Speaker 2: But look, I probably anything late second, you know, in
Speaker 2: the third I wouldn't. After what we saw and he's
Speaker 2: now confirmed just pure inside mid I think it's pretty
Speaker 2: safe to take him pretty early in draft now. By
Speaker 2: the way, a bit of a watch there on Drafted.
Speaker 2: New episode coming this week, bit of a mock draft review,
Speaker 2: so keep an eye out for that as well. Let's
Speaker 2: get onto the final game here. That was match sim
Speaker 2: on the weekend, North Melbourne versus Melbourne, so just the
Speaker 2: notable outs as well. Melbourne rested Maxi Gorne, Christian Petrarca,
Speaker 2: Salem wasn't there, Ed Langdon wasn't there and neither was
Speaker 2: Jack Finey, So quite a few out of the mix
Speaker 2: for Melbourne. North Melbourne pretty solid squad. Obviously no Wardlaw
Speaker 2: your man there fans, but he is out injured. So
Speaker 2: North Melbourne again, I'm guy. I'm just not going to
Speaker 2: talk about Cale Daniel dominant, you know, just lock him in.
Speaker 2: He's role Tick played well. Tick distributor off half back,
Speaker 2: get him in to cheat, to ignore Harry kick the
Speaker 2: girl as well. Yeah, Harry, she's a mid forward. Twenty
Speaker 2: six percent CBA sim still just dominated? Is he locked
Speaker 2: in for you?
Speaker 3: Still locked in? He's a gun.
Speaker 2: I will mention Tristan Sherry didn't dominate against one Tom.
Speaker 3: It's only a practice game. Like he knows, he knows that,
Speaker 3: he knows he doesn't have to try all that much.
Speaker 3: Just going a couple of a couple of you know,
Speaker 3: do a couple of taps, you know, just get through it.
Speaker 3: Build for round one.
Speaker 1: I think everyone should jump off. I think five names.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, jump off Joey Yeah, selfishly what means
Speaker 3: jakeson Lego?
Speaker 2: Just jump off Mkircher Again I mentioned I'm concerned with
Speaker 2: the roll. Are you guys still holding fat with that look?
Speaker 2: I know he's a great player, but six percent inside
Speaker 2: me playing wing forward an inside mid for me, I
Speaker 2: didn't have don't.
Speaker 3: I didn't have him. I reckon hipster, whatever his name did,
Speaker 3: I just not not for mine. Still you're not.
Speaker 1: For I haven't fit him back in yet, but it
Speaker 1: might come into the Callum Mills. I had him at
Speaker 1: him out. Just don't know what I'm gonna do there
Speaker 1: in that middle part of defense. But I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: he's in the Harry Sheesel basket. Doesn't matter where he plays.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to a point this year and
Speaker 1: be like, well, gee, we thought about we overthought his role,
Speaker 1: how it's going to affect him. The kids are gone,
Speaker 1: so we'll see more, hopefully in the Amy series game.
Speaker 1: But again, I don't think it matters where he plays.
Speaker 2: Philip Finos Sullivan, John Ralph that's his that's his big
Speaker 2: rookie lock I lock him in.
Speaker 3: Love this as I said with the g as soon before,
Speaker 3: sometimes you have to look for little signs about players,
Speaker 3: you know, like what they're saying on the club website,
Speaker 3: you know, what they're what they're telling you to us,
Speaker 3: the code sports you know, you know, and that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. But sometimes it's just as simple as holding
Speaker 3: him out for the last term or quarter of a
Speaker 3: of a practice match. Do they want to run for
Speaker 3: a round one?
Speaker 2: All right, Well take we'll take Ralphie's word for that
Speaker 2: one and we'll move on to Melbourne Clayton Oliver Fance.
Speaker 2: I did see some of the raw numbers afterwards. It
Speaker 2: wasn't amazing on the raw statue, but the eye test
Speaker 2: passed with flying colors.
Speaker 1: I think it's all you want with this guy. We
Speaker 1: know what his numbers can be when he's at his best.
Speaker 1: You see the little things. He looks hungry again. He
Speaker 1: was getting in the face of I fin O'Sullivan of
Speaker 1: the opposition, and Melbourne keeps saying good things about. Assistant
Speaker 1: coach Troy Chaplin said after the match that you know,
Speaker 1: the very best version of Clayton Oliver is pretty much
Speaker 1: back and that's what.
Speaker 4: They saw on Saturdays.
Speaker 1: So FO fifty one k you just have to pick him.
Speaker 1: If he only has eighteen this week, I don't think
Speaker 1: it matters pick him. But in the midfield alongside him,
Speaker 1: you did mention all those guys that missed out Christian Petrarca,
Speaker 1: Jack Beney, Harvey Langford, Jago Smith obviously goes out of
Speaker 1: the rookie conversation. Another top end draft bick, top end
Speaker 1: price tag. We've spoken about him before, giving his size
Speaker 1: for almost ready made to come in have an impact
Speaker 1: in the midfield, but can take a good mark and
Speaker 1: kick a goal too, which he showed throughout his junior career.
Speaker 4: Which we know that helps the kids come in.
Speaker 1: If they can do more than one thing, they've got
Speaker 1: multiple strings to their bows, then that holds him in
Speaker 1: good stead in terms of their debut season and job security.
Speaker 1: And he did his chances no harm Harvey Langford against
Speaker 1: the Ruse.
Speaker 2: Job security should be pretty solid with him early. I'm
Speaker 2: just wondering. I don't think you know, he had forty
Speaker 2: five percent of the center bouncers. I just don't see
Speaker 2: that with all those guys out. I agree, see he's
Speaker 2: probably going to be a forward in one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty K. If we get an Angus Hasty at one
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen k as a midfielder playing in that
Speaker 2: defensive role. It's just it's just a bit of cash
Speaker 2: to free up. So it's great to watch. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he could be a smash pick. It's just I'm just
Speaker 2: probably going to be a bit stingy on that one.
Speaker 2: I think I thought we're going to.
Speaker 3: Talk for a second about one of my boys last year,
Speaker 3: lu Is coming Good Trank Rivers.
Speaker 2: The real top seventy four percent of center bouncers for
Speaker 2: the D's available as a defender, sim take it away.
Speaker 3: I mean, as I said last year when we try
Speaker 3: and oliver a out I would crisis trace opportunity and
Speaker 3: we all wanted to see him become in midfielder. He
Speaker 3: became a midfielder. Surely they played as a midfielder a
Speaker 3: game this year, like.
Speaker 2: Yep, I find a baffling that. I mean again, I
Speaker 2: know we haven't seen their full squad together yet. I've
Speaker 2: been on the train of thinking that Petrark is going
Speaker 2: to be brought back slowly and not play as a
Speaker 2: pure midfielder straight away. Might be completely wrong on that,
Speaker 2: but Trent Rivers to me, is almost like we've got
Speaker 2: him at a bargain price compared to an Ed Richards
Speaker 2: who people were high on ed Richards coming through. I
Speaker 2: know he had it, he showed a bit of a
Speaker 2: higher ceiling in that midfield role. But we've got Trent
Speaker 2: Rivers available as a defender in the eighties four hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty two K and he's looking like he's definitely
Speaker 2: going to get more midfield exposure. I'm all about it.
Speaker 2: Sim He's that's one I've overacted to and he's he's
Speaker 2: into the squad.
Speaker 3: Love it, love it. I'm going to find away from
Speaker 3: him in my team as well.
Speaker 4: Are we watching.
Speaker 2: That's what we got. That's all we got out of here.
Speaker 3: No fun, no fun fan.
Speaker 2: No fun at all.
Speaker 4: And that's the last game that's worth talking about.
Speaker 2: And Dossy absolutely not so.
Speaker 4: Morning got enough warnings.
Speaker 3: Sound So when was this game on? Was this Saturday?
Speaker 3: This was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was on Saturday. Having the day off and
Speaker 2: just chilling at home. Happened to see a notification from
Speaker 2: the Mighty West Coast Eagles the intra club is going
Speaker 2: live on YouTube and the old Dossie kicked back and relaxed.
Speaker 2: It was the greatest Saturday rvos. Just she's not happy
Speaker 2: foot his back.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, it's relatable to the game itselfs is
Speaker 1: obviously going to talk about the Eagles internal trial. But
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon there was folks playing in the second team
Speaker 1: who had to work in the morning, so you know
Speaker 1: the trade's working line up. They played waffle for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: come to training after four hours on the tools and
Speaker 1: you know, so there's that disclaimer to what doss Is going.
Speaker 3: To say, Did I see that youose brother play exactly
Speaker 3: your brother? That that guy he was at the first
Speaker 3: set of ouse.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any relation to be honest.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a rare last name, though, so possibly,
Speaker 2: I honestly have no idea you.
Speaker 1: Could have got again, Dossie. If you were over there,
Speaker 1: comany would have pulled you over the found.
Speaker 3: On that, don't I reckon. There's times where DOSSI could
Speaker 3: have got the game for the Eagles waffle team anyway.
Speaker 2: Last year, all right, look, I'm not only going to
Speaker 2: briefly touch on it because it was the return of
Speaker 2: the Goat. Harley Reid was back for the Mighty Weagles
Speaker 2: playing intra club. All this nonsense about him not being ready, unfit, underdone,
Speaker 2: injured all the time, that's what they keep saying. Played
Speaker 2: three quarters as a pure mid pure against.
Speaker 4: Fifteen year old brother.
Speaker 2: Look. I might not have been counting stats, but I
Speaker 2: continue it was at least twenty fendoffs in there, burst
Speaker 2: out in the midfield, fifty clearances. Maybe it was around
Speaker 2: those marks. So I actually, like, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I genuinely think he is as much as he's obviously
Speaker 2: over hyped massively or you know, he's a massive presence
Speaker 2: in the media in general, in super coach. I get it.
Speaker 2: He's had an interrupted pre season, Like I totally understand
Speaker 2: six percent owned he was the other day he's priced
Speaker 2: to eighty. I actually I think he's under I think
Speaker 2: he's under hype. He's going to be the West Coast.
Speaker 2: He was number one midfielder this year alongside Kelly and Duggan,
Speaker 2: who also, by the way, was playing pure mid again
Speaker 2: as he did in the trial match the other week.
Speaker 3: One again my list. Yeah, he's been on my watch
Speaker 3: with studying. He's just is he just too bad with
Speaker 3: the balls sometimes?
Speaker 2: Like he's going to have to play midfield with no yo,
Speaker 2: especially play midfield.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think, is he just going to be
Speaker 3: too inefficient in there?
Speaker 2: Look I've I don't I don't know. I've got him
Speaker 2: in my watch list, so I don't know if he's
Speaker 2: an efficient kick. I mean, he's been a great kid.
Speaker 4: I'm not doubting Harley Reid.
Speaker 2: No goat.
Speaker 1: Mike be the goat, and he's going to take over
Speaker 1: the comp very very soon. But let's just wait to
Speaker 1: see what happens this week before we lock him him
Speaker 1: in Supercoach because again, you know, do you could have
Speaker 1: a couple of fendoffs.
Speaker 4: Against the waffle Celia.
Speaker 2: Just lastly, one player that did catch the eye that
Speaker 2: I haven't heard a heap of discussion about you still.
Speaker 2: I think about six percent owned. But Archer Reid, who
Speaker 2: is available as a ruck forward, was playing in the
Speaker 2: A team for West Coast, playing alongside Oscar Allen. Jake
Speaker 2: Wadman was back out there as well, and he was
Speaker 2: still in that team, played as a key forward and
Speaker 2: then swung in to pinch hit in the ruck. So
Speaker 2: just one to watch, I think if you I was
Speaker 2: just thinking about it for strategy, and I think if
Speaker 2: you want to put him as your R. Three on
Speaker 2: the bench in the rack and Sayer Harry Boyd starts
Speaker 2: the season and Sayer Liam Reedy, you're going to go
Speaker 2: with like two cheap rucks in flex and R two
Speaker 2: something like that. He is a nice escape plan if
Speaker 2: you have him on the bench because you can flip
Speaker 2: him into flex, swing him forward and then you've got
Speaker 2: one of those guys on your bench ruck. So it's
Speaker 2: just a bit of high class in a high class
Speaker 2: strategy there from old DOOSSI he's he's a high last
Speaker 2: thinker and super coach, and.
Speaker 3: So egels Enuffy two voice is from me. Okay, Matt Flynn,
Speaker 3: when's he gonna play. Is he actually gonna be back
Speaker 3: for round one? And Elijah Hewett is he going to
Speaker 3: play round one?
Speaker 2: So didn't play. Sorry, Matt Flynn did not play in
Speaker 2: this game. They said he's still dealing with that back issue,
Speaker 2: so just to watch I don't. I have no idea
Speaker 2: that they haven't really said anything since, so keep an
Speaker 2: eye out for news on him. Elijah Hewitt was one
Speaker 2: of those guys that we mentioned earlier on the show.
Speaker 2: He played in the B team in this game, but
Speaker 2: he was playing as an inside midfielder on the B team,
Speaker 2: so yes, it was alongside Elliot Yo's long lost brother,
Speaker 2: but he was playing majority midfield and whether that was
Speaker 2: just to get him that midfield clock. The thing that
Speaker 2: makes me much more excited, and like I was a
Speaker 2: bit down. I was like, oh, why is he in
Speaker 2: the B team? Like this isn't what I wanted to
Speaker 2: see because the prime midfielders in the A team were
Speaker 2: Read Kelly and Dugan. But the thing that makes me
Speaker 2: excited was in the captain's video that as I said,
Speaker 2: keep an eye out for super Coach Socials that we're
Speaker 2: going to re releasing the breakout one. Liam Duggan immediately
Speaker 2: mentioned Elijah Hewitt, and then he also says in the
Speaker 2: video obviously I wasn't privy to see what he was
Speaker 2: talking about. For the rest of the day. He says, Oh,
Speaker 2: I've already mentioned this guy heaps today, but I hope
Speaker 2: his head doesn't get too big. Elijah hewartt So that
Speaker 2: was his pick for the big breakout for West Coast.
Speaker 2: So I think for me, that's enough for me to
Speaker 2: be like, all right, well, I think.
Speaker 1: Also before that game, Liam Duggan mentioned somewhere that he
Speaker 1: was almost knew that he was going to play on
Speaker 1: him in the internal was Yeah, he.
Speaker 2: Was having nightmares about having to play having Elijah Hewart
Speaker 2: on him. So yeah, yeah, good year for Leam Dudian.
Speaker 2: Then that's the Nuffy report from Dossi's West Coast Interclub
Speaker 2: on the YouTube Live.
Speaker 1: Good enough section there, but plenty to talk about over
Speaker 1: the next week, plenty of highlights numbers. Will have all
Speaker 1: the Super Coach scores in our show next week. The
