00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: This is Brownies Podcast!

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Welcome to Brownies Podcast.

3
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:17,810
Speaker 3: Sweet God, what a last round to end the season.

4
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:20,390
Speaker 2: Jonathan Brown's here. Campbell Brown's here.

5
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:21,670
Speaker 1: I'm here. Dean Thomas.

6
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:23,070
Speaker 2: Broads, hello.

7
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:24,050
Speaker 4: Hello, boys.

8
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:27,790
Speaker 2: Beck's in the studio. Has she conquered golf? That's what

9
00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: everyone wants to know, Beck.

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 5: I have, actually.

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, playing in the storm, so. Okay. All right.

12
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: That's dangerous.

13
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Well, let's see. It's a sign of a good golfer,

14
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: getting out there, perfecting the swing in the storm. She's

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: actually had videos, showing me videos this morning, Dina, of

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: her work on the weekend. She's putting a golf club

17
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:46,230
Speaker 1: down on the ground just to make sure her alignment

18
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:49,589
Speaker 1: is spot on. So you've got a very nice swing.

19
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:51,650
Speaker 1: I think you can make it. Thank you, David. You'll

20
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:53,210
Speaker 1: make it eventually. It's something in life.

21
00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:53,810
Speaker 5: Thank you.

22
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:57,710
Speaker 3: Becca, lightning and holding metal golf clubs is a real,

23
00:00:57,770 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: it's a powerful combination. Hey, this round sucked until we

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,259
Speaker 3: saw the Hawks humiliate the Kangaroos, which again, Dog and JB,

25
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,740
Speaker 3: I don't think you're talking them up enough. I know

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: you like finals as different, but they are humiliating teams.

27
00:01:12,459 --> 00:01:14,860
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Hawks eventually. They've got the most

28
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:18,220
Speaker 1: exciting player in the competition. He's my new favourite, Josh Weddle.

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,060
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,740
Speaker 1: Mate, how good's Josh Weddle? He is.

31
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,369
Speaker 1: Talk about the Hawks being the Harlem Globetrotters. Well, who

33
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,970
Speaker 1: was the biggest star of the Harlem Globetrotters? Because that

34
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:31,010
Speaker 1: is Josh Weddle. He can play back. He can play forward.

35
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:33,490
Speaker 1: He can play in the ruck. He's got speed, too.

36
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:37,309
Speaker 1: He puts his Weddle to the metal. Well done, mate.

37
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:40,470
Speaker 1: That was a Dwayne Russell-ism. How exciting is he? They

38
00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:42,060
Speaker 1: won by 120 points in the wet. In the driving rain.

39
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:48,710
Speaker 5: Three weeks ago, this round 24 looked like it could

40
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:51,710
Speaker 5: be all time, and it was an absolute fizzer until

41
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:53,770
Speaker 5: the last two games of.

42
00:01:53,770 --> 00:01:55,110
Speaker 1: The round, wasn't it?

43
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:59,950
Speaker 5: Isn't it vastly glaring when a side's checked out and

44
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 5: they're playing for nothing, right, against sides that have actually

45
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 5: still got their intensity because Melbourne were done and dusted

46
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:06,980
Speaker 5: very early on.

47
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Well, that's why the wildcard round should be in. Yeah,

48
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I agree.

49
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:10,290
Speaker 4: Yep.

50
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:13,740
Speaker 1: It'll come in next year, JB. It has to. Talk

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: about a succulent matchup this weekend, thanks to Jack Carlson.

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,300
Speaker 1: The wildcard round this week would be Hawthorne versus Fremantle.

53
00:02:22,139 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Carlton v. Collingwood. Could you imagine that? Carlton v. Collingwood

54
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Friday night would be Saturday, Hawthorne v. Fremantle. It'd be

55
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:32,540
Speaker 1: amazing the way it currently stands, 7v10, 8v9.

56
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:36,150
Speaker 5: North, they started their mad Monday, Saturday afternoon. The Eagles

57
00:02:36,190 --> 00:02:40,910
Speaker 5: had completely checked out. Richmond were just hanging on. Essendon,

58
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:48,310
Speaker 5: not great, were they? The Sydney-Adelaide game was bruise-free, uncontested football.

59
00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:52,730
Speaker 5: I'm glad we got something out of yesterday, mate, because

60
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:56,670
Speaker 5: the Doggies-GWS game was huge, into the Carlton game, and

61
00:02:56,690 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: then into, obviously, the decider over in the West.

62
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: It didn't end up as big, though, because I feel

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,019
Speaker 1: as if GWS, be interested to see what their planning was,

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,660
Speaker 1: because they knew that You know, even though they're going

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: to finish top four, even though they lost, they're going

66
00:03:10,139 --> 00:03:12,310
Speaker 1: to be playing Sydney Swans, who they'll back themselves in.

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,019
Speaker 1: That means they don't have to travel. So they pulled

68
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: out Toby Bedford and Brett Daniels, two of their most

69
00:03:18,020 --> 00:03:20,540
Speaker 1: important players, just before the game. So that tells me

70
00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:23,489
Speaker 1: they're going, hey, let's just keep our powder dry. And

71
00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:27,910
Speaker 1: by the way, Who scheduled the last game of the year,

72
00:03:28,110 --> 00:03:32,250
Speaker 1: which looked like the best matchup, in Ballarat, Mars Stadium? Like, honestly,

73
00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:34,970
Speaker 1: it was blowing a gale. It was about a 50-kilometre-an-hour wind.

74
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:40,070
Speaker 1: There was potentially lightning. Whoever scheduled that probably needs to

75
00:03:40,090 --> 00:03:43,230
Speaker 1: be shot. Wait, wait, wait. Line them up and shoot

76
00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:44,930
Speaker 1: them like the Bali Nine.

77
00:03:45,490 --> 00:03:47,830
Speaker 2: Devil's advocate. Devil's advocate.

78
00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:50,290
Speaker 3: I thought it was cool to see a game in

79
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:53,270
Speaker 3: an oval like that that actually had stakes.

80
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:54,410
Speaker 2: I thought it was the opposite.

81
00:03:56,010 --> 00:03:58,670
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. With the wind, though, it's just playing havoc.

82
00:03:58,710 --> 00:04:00,700
Speaker 1: The players were all over the shop. Beck was trying

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,140
Speaker 1: to put up with it with the golf course. But honestly,

84
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: these players out there, you've got to put it under

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,140
Speaker 1: the lid or put it in a decent venue. Not

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: that I'm knocking Ballarat people and I'm not knocking Mars Stadium,

87
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: but you have to know that there's a reasonable chance

88
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,870
Speaker 1: it's a windiest ground in Australia. Yeah, not round 24.

89
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:18,990
Speaker 1: Not round 24. No way. Do a round 22 or 23.

90
00:04:19,089 --> 00:04:21,410
Speaker 1: Because that would have been the Friday night clash otherwise.

91
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:23,630
Speaker 1: But they've obviously got to it and gone, shit, we

92
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:24,170
Speaker 1: can't play that.

93
00:04:24,190 --> 00:04:27,660
Speaker 5: Do you know who takes the piss out of everyone

94
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: more than anyone else? It's GWS. The GWS social media team.

95
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:34,300
Speaker 5: So they do a post a couple of hours before

96
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 5: the game. Jesse Hogan could be a laid out. He's

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,620
Speaker 5: missed the team bus.

98
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:38,780
Speaker 1: And there'd be.

99
00:04:38,730 --> 00:04:41,469
Speaker 5: People at like– I read it and immediately knew they

100
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:43,409
Speaker 5: were taking the piss, but there would have been people

101
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:47,790
Speaker 5: out there, like Tom Brown's fake account, right, that read.

102
00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:50,980
Speaker 1: It and they blow their mind, you know. Yeah, yeah.

103
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: They actually do because it's a good point that you

104
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: bring up because remember– Remember what happened last time with

105
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,260
Speaker 1: Toby Green and Isaac Keeney. Exactly. So the Isaac Keeney

106
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,779
Speaker 1: had to come out and put the apology. Toby Green

107
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: did a piss take one. Obviously, the Giants media put

108
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: it up. I don't know who runs it, but kudos.

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,549
Speaker 1: Are they going to double down, though, against Sydney? Oh,

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,030
Speaker 1: I think so. Because they're playing each other. Will they

111
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,950
Speaker 1: double down? Just depends.

112
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:22,150
Speaker 5: I think they'll probably want to just smooth sailing for

113
00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:22,910
Speaker 5: the next couple of weeks.

114
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:23,650
Speaker 1: Okay, right.

115
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:27,309
Speaker 3: While we're doing social media, people, shout outs. Obviously, back you.

116
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:27,710
Speaker 1: Amazing.

117
00:05:28,490 --> 00:05:32,570
Speaker 3: The Carlton one, did you see the image they had

118
00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:35,990
Speaker 3: of the in excess screenshot, never tear us apart, and

119
00:05:36,029 --> 00:05:37,909
Speaker 3: then the volume up was so hard that it was

120
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:38,850
Speaker 3: going off the screen?

121
00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:41,830
Speaker 1: I didn't see that.

122
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:42,529
Speaker 2: That's so good.

123
00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:46,270
Speaker 5: That's outstanding. Imagine I was sitting yesterday afternoon with a

124
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,730
Speaker 5: Carlton supporter, right?

125
00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:48,390
Speaker 1: He's passionate.

126
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:51,750
Speaker 5: A lot of my friends are Carlton supporters. And the

127
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: wave of emotion that they go through every single week

128
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:58,020
Speaker 5: and they're constantly– disappointment and like.

129
00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:02,660
Speaker 1: Unbelievable rollercoaster of emotions that was. I witnessed it through

130
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:05,810
Speaker 1: my daughter, Olivia, who she was up and down like

131
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:08,950
Speaker 1: the big dipper there at Luna Park. She was screaming

132
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:12,300
Speaker 1: and then she wasn't and then she gave me... She

133
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:15,980
Speaker 1: gave me no response on the text. I was airwaves

134
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,979
Speaker 1: or radio silence. I copped for about two hours. She

135
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't respond back to the text. And then all I

136
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:24,230
Speaker 1: could hear was her just screaming for Port Adelaide in

137
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:24,990
Speaker 1: the afternoon.

138
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,410
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's what, I mean, so many people were

139
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:29,830
Speaker 5: backing for Port. They'll never have that level of support again.

140
00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:34,620
Speaker 5: But the Moyer goal gave them hope. The Motlop goal

141
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 5: gave them belief. And all I remember as the clock

142
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:42,820
Speaker 5: ticked down from a minute to 40 to 30 stoppage

143
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:46,890
Speaker 5: in the half-forward flank, my mate sat there and he said,

144
00:06:47,529 --> 00:06:51,110
Speaker 5: not like this. Don't do it. Not like this again, right?

145
00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:52,429
Speaker 5: And then he can snap that.

146
00:06:52,350 --> 00:06:55,150
Speaker 1: Goal, right? And I felt like they were going to lose.

147
00:06:55,450 --> 00:06:56,270
Speaker 5: And sure enough.

148
00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they did. And I think they've only got themselves

149
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,979
Speaker 1: to blame. Yeah. Yeah, they can't believe we would have

150
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,940
Speaker 1: put him 10 points up. Yeah. 25 minutes out directly

151
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,660
Speaker 1: in front. He misses that. And then it goes down

152
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,900
Speaker 1: the other end. That was a double stoppage. It was

153
00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:09,870
Speaker 1: two stoppages in a row. They had time to set up.

154
00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:11,869
Speaker 1: They didn't have a loose man back. It was Akers

155
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: that made a mad scramble back. to take that mark.

156
00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:16,970
Speaker 1: So it was a poor setup and poor organisation. I

157
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:18,990
Speaker 1: know they've got a lot of players out. The one

158
00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:21,670
Speaker 1: positive is they've made it though. And just speaking to

159
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:23,770
Speaker 1: Vossi this morning, he reckons there's a fair chance I

160
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: have seven or eight changes. I have seven or eight

161
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:29,060
Speaker 1: players back in. All the big guns are back into

162
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the side. So that's going to be hard for the

163
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:35,170
Speaker 1: Brisbane Lions to plan against. They beat the Brisbane Lions

164
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:37,130
Speaker 1: at opening round up there at the Gabba. They played

165
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:40,630
Speaker 1: in a big final there last year. So, you know,

166
00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:43,950
Speaker 1: it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Carlton can

167
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:47,270
Speaker 1: go up and upset Brisbane. There is some comparisons potentially

168
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:50,450
Speaker 1: to the Western Bulldogs in 2016 when they took advantage

169
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: of that bye weekend round off. They did.

170
00:07:52,420 --> 00:07:54,300
Speaker 5: When they end up with five of their best players

171
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: come back in. the first year the AFL had brought

172
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: the bye round in.

173
00:07:56,860 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: That's right. And helped them a lot. The only thing is, though,

174
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,860
Speaker 1: Carlton have lost three out of their last four. That year,

175
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,980
Speaker 1: the Bulldogs had won three out of their last four.

176
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:07,820
Speaker 1: So you wouldn't say they're exactly shooting the lights out.

177
00:08:08,740 --> 00:08:12,020
Speaker 5: How would you see St Kilda's season? Because they've finished

178
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:12,970
Speaker 5: the year 11 and 12.

179
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,510
Speaker 1: Yeah. They finished with.

180
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:17,830
Speaker 5: Back-to-back wins, and they actually started to play some half-decent

181
00:08:18,370 --> 00:08:21,370
Speaker 5: offensive football. Do you give Rossi a pass?

182
00:08:21,970 --> 00:08:22,830
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I do.

183
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:23,390
Speaker 2: Really?

184
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,410
Speaker 1: Well, I give him the pass because the way they

185
00:08:25,450 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: finished the year off and they built towards next year.

186
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: He stated eight weeks ago, we are building towards next year.

187
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:34,380
Speaker 1: We're going to build momentum. And the players carried that through.

188
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,950
Speaker 5: Richmond and a desolated Carl to go to finish. Desolated.

189
00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:42,850
Speaker 1: Isolated. Desolated. Edit that out, please. No, that is never

190
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:43,429
Speaker 1: coming out. Nope.

191
00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:47,270
Speaker 2: The desolation was just so high.

192
00:08:47,429 --> 00:08:48,690
Speaker 1: Decimated. I like it.

193
00:08:48,830 --> 00:08:51,250
Speaker 5: Carlton side. So they finished with a high, but they

194
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:53,510
Speaker 5: didn't beat much to finish the year.

195
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:57,250
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting. I think they beat Geelong comfortably last week.

196
00:08:57,290 --> 00:08:59,390
Speaker 1: They were very good there. I think they've had some

197
00:08:59,429 --> 00:09:02,220
Speaker 1: good wins. They were disappointing against Brisbane. But, yeah, I

198
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,300
Speaker 1: feel like they're building towards something. They still need an

199
00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: upgraded midfield, Brown Dogs. So they're going to need a

200
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: good off-season. Now, whether they can get some established players

201
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,020
Speaker 1: to come to their footy club, He's going to be interesting.

202
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,620
Speaker 1: What about Richmond? Richmond, they're going to gut the whole team. Yeah.

203
00:09:19,179 --> 00:09:23,500
Speaker 1: Liam Baker, Shai Bolden. Yep. Rioli. Rioli. Graham.

204
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: No, I think Graham might stay. And then you throw

205
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:31,220
Speaker 5: Pickett's retired, Dusty's retired, Grimes' retired. There's six changes potentially already.

206
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 5: They won't even need to delist too many players.

207
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because– You know what I

208
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: found out today, though? What's disappointing? The one area of

209
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:41,069
Speaker 1: the ground you think they'd be decent at with Hopper

210
00:09:41,090 --> 00:09:44,650
Speaker 1: and Taranto coming in, Nan Kervis, Shea Bolton's there, Liam

211
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:47,890
Speaker 1: Baker floating through, Jack Graham. They're the worst centre-bounce team

212
00:09:47,929 --> 00:09:48,650
Speaker 1: in the competition.

213
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:48,990
Speaker 4: Yeah.

214
00:09:49,250 --> 00:09:51,050
Speaker 1: So there's no excuse for that. I know they've had

215
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:53,010
Speaker 1: a few injuries, but they're going to have to gut

216
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:55,709
Speaker 1: the list. They're in bad shape, Richmond. No question about that.

217
00:09:55,770 --> 00:09:57,730
Speaker 1: And Tom Lynch is on about over a million dollars

218
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:59,550
Speaker 1: a year, and he's sitting in the grandstand.

219
00:09:59,610 --> 00:09:59,810
Speaker 5: Yeah.

220
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Hey, let's go.

221
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: We're not moving on from the Carlton Saints game. So

222
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: Carlton had that chance to ice it, miss it. It

223
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 3: goes down the other end. Saints have a chance, a

224
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: set shot to win it, miss it. The The cortisol

225
00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: flowing through like Dave Hughes.

226
00:10:17,059 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: Did you see his Instagram yesterday? That poor son of

227
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: a bitch was just losing his mind.

228
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: And then that little miracle of a man who's got

229
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: a footy IQ of 4,000, Jack Higgins.

230
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,620
Speaker 2: He does that a lot, John.

231
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,350
Speaker 1: He's a genius.

232
00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:29,750
Speaker 4: He misses.

233
00:10:31,690 --> 00:10:34,870
Speaker 5: The most simple set shots, and then he kicks an

234
00:10:35,090 --> 00:10:39,270
Speaker 5: unbelievable goal. He's a great little footballer, and you wouldn't

235
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:41,170
Speaker 5: have wanted it in anyone else's hands if you're a

236
00:10:41,170 --> 00:10:44,589
Speaker 5: calm player. That was a pretty tough shot, right? As

237
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:46,430
Speaker 5: soon as he got his hands on the footy and

238
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: got it to his boot, you just knew it was

239
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,939
Speaker 5: going through to break every single heart.

240
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,939
Speaker 1: Great theatre sport.

241
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,740
Speaker 4: What I've always wondered, right, you know how some players

242
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,940
Speaker 4: are much better on the run than they are from

243
00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:02,020
Speaker 4: a set shot, like walking in? Why don't those players

244
00:11:02,059 --> 00:11:04,030
Speaker 4: that are so much better on the run actually just

245
00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:06,130
Speaker 4: run in? Why don't they have a Ben Brown type

246
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:07,970
Speaker 4: run up and sprint in and then.

247
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:08,329
Speaker 5: Try and kick it?

248
00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:11,059
Speaker 1: I think in Jack Higgins' case, he does. When he

249
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,109
Speaker 1: does a set shot... and does it in the snapping motion.

250
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:15,650
Speaker 1: He's actually one of those players I think is a

251
00:11:15,650 --> 00:11:19,410
Speaker 1: better snapshot set shot. And he did that in the

252
00:11:19,530 --> 00:11:22,380
Speaker 1: third quarter. He kicked one from about 45 metres out

253
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,260
Speaker 1: on a 45-degree angle, but he did it in the

254
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: snapping motion. It was magnificent. So it was a great game.

255
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:29,390
Speaker 1: It was great to watch. There was great theatre around it.

256
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,220
Speaker 1: What about the water bottle in the back of the head? Oh,

257
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: that's just ridiculous. That's so unacceptable.

258
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:36,630
Speaker 3: So what's– John, you must have some mail on that.

259
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:38,729
Speaker 2: They must have the person, right? I know they– I

260
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:41,990
Speaker 2: think they did a runner. BT said– on the commentary.

261
00:11:42,030 --> 00:11:43,410
Speaker 5: Face recognition will get him.

262
00:11:44,030 --> 00:11:44,630
Speaker 1: Something, right?

263
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:46,709
Speaker 5: All the stadiums have got face recognition technology.

264
00:11:46,730 --> 00:11:48,050
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have thought it would be.

265
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, my mate got banned for seven years. He tried

266
00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:51,859
Speaker 5: to sneak into the G1 and they got him on

267
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: face recognition.

268
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: But he ran out of the stadium.

269
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:56,660
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait. You don't get a seven-year ban just

270
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,300
Speaker 2: for trying to sneak in. What else did your idiot

271
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,069
Speaker 2: mate do is my question.

272
00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: I think he'd been.

273
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,170
Speaker 5: Involved in a melee at Etihad Stadium.

274
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:04,990
Speaker 2: There we go.

275
00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:06,929
Speaker 1: Many years ago.

276
00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:07,950
Speaker 4: It was Mal, wasn't it?

277
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:10,270
Speaker 1: No, no. That's right. I've never seen Mal in a footy.

278
00:12:10,290 --> 00:12:13,300
Speaker 5: It wasn't Mal, but you can't sneak in because they

279
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: get you, like as you're walking through customs.

280
00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:18,260
Speaker 1: What kind of cockhead? Because I was thinking like that.

281
00:12:18,340 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: How do they actually identify if you get a life being?

282
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: How do they identify if you dress up? I don't think.

283
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,100
Speaker 5: Adelaide Oval are up to that level of technology yet.

284
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,670
Speaker 4: At most nightclubs, your photo will sit in the booth

285
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:31,170
Speaker 4: where you pay your entry. And if your photos, there's

286
00:12:31,309 --> 00:12:33,310
Speaker 4: almost a glory wall. But after about a year, in

287
00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:35,610
Speaker 4: my experience, about a year, you get taken down from that.

288
00:12:35,650 --> 00:12:37,690
Speaker 4: And then as soon as that's down, you're back in there, baby.

289
00:12:37,710 --> 00:12:39,329
Speaker 4: They let you in every time.

290
00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:40,630
Speaker 1: I've got it. A mate of mine tried to go

291
00:12:40,650 --> 00:12:41,550
Speaker 1: to a lunch at Crown.

292
00:12:41,570 --> 00:12:45,060
Speaker 5: It had been a few years and He got in,

293
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 5: sat down at the table, and half an hour in,

294
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,340
Speaker 5: got a tap on the shoulder, can you come outside

295
00:12:50,380 --> 00:12:53,140
Speaker 5: for a chat? They took him outside, and they said, mate,

296
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,979
Speaker 5: you know your band from Crown?

297
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: He said, yeah. And they said, well, mate, get out.

298
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: So they can get you out, but Dino, on your point,

299
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 5: they'll get the guy, and they should get life.

300
00:13:03,830 --> 00:13:06,470
Speaker 1: You can't be throwing bottles at, you know. I should

301
00:13:06,490 --> 00:13:08,630
Speaker 1: line him up beside the bloke that organised that last

302
00:13:08,670 --> 00:13:11,750
Speaker 1: game at Ballarat, GWS and Bulldogs, and shoot him both.

303
00:13:12,390 --> 00:13:13,929
Speaker 1: It was the trajectory of it, too.

304
00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:15,990
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a lob. It was like a dart

305
00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:18,589
Speaker 2: at the guy's head. And his head's pissing out with blood.

306
00:13:18,850 --> 00:13:21,020
Speaker 1: He got subbed out. He did get subbed out.

307
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:24,130
Speaker 2: His little green hat was all red. Poor bastard.

308
00:13:24,290 --> 00:13:27,390
Speaker 1: I know. What about the sub? The sub goal umpire?

309
00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:29,010
Speaker 1: I can't believe they had a sub goal umpire. That

310
00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:32,890
Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of being an airport fiery. Airport firemen,

311
00:13:32,910 --> 00:13:34,700
Speaker 1: weren't you? You never really– you always wonder, what do

312
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,020
Speaker 1: those guys actually do? Do they ever get the call up? Yeah.

313
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: They just do drills all day.

314
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,050
Speaker 5: They did when Pan Am 103 hit the deck that day.

315
00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:45,250
Speaker 2: Great day in aviation this year.

316
00:13:46,050 --> 00:13:48,470
Speaker 5: Now, let's– How can I remember that sort of shit?

317
00:13:48,510 --> 00:13:51,140
Speaker 5: But I can't say a word like– Desolate.

318
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:52,140
Speaker 2: Listen to me.

319
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: Listen to me.

320
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: We're not moving on.

321
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,620
Speaker 3: Did you guys see the footage of the Dockers fans

322
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:58,410
Speaker 3: watching that at Optus.

323
00:13:58,210 --> 00:14:01,130
Speaker 1: Oval, John? It was amazing. What a rollercoaster. I'm not

324
00:14:01,150 --> 00:14:05,030
Speaker 1: surprised Fremantle got rolled because, like the fans, the players

325
00:14:05,050 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: would have been watching it. They would have had one

326
00:14:06,910 --> 00:14:09,089
Speaker 1: eye on the monitor in the whole warm-up. And it

327
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:11,170
Speaker 1: would have been a real rollercoaster of emotions. So they

328
00:14:11,190 --> 00:14:14,030
Speaker 1: would have been a bit fatigued, the Freo blokes, because

329
00:14:14,110 --> 00:14:16,569
Speaker 1: the ups and downs of watching that Carlton St Kilda game,

330
00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:18,390
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they realised, oh, shit, we're

331
00:14:18,429 --> 00:14:22,010
Speaker 1: back in it. They were halfway home. Fremantle, they would

332
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:25,270
Speaker 1: have given up. Instead, they'd come out and Port Adelaide beats.

333
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,940
Speaker 1: And Port Adelaide are a really good team. But I

334
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: think Fremantle's the unluckiest team in the competition. Oh, come on, CB. Well,

335
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: they've played the three top sides in the last four weeks.

336
00:14:35,050 --> 00:14:37,810
Speaker 1: And they've lost their three key pillars. They lost Alex Pearce,

337
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:43,150
Speaker 1: their gun, all-Australian caliber fullback, Sean Darcy, the ruckman, and

338
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:46,460
Speaker 1: Josh Tracy, who's on the same level of Jesse Hogan

339
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: the last eight weeks of the season.

340
00:14:48,270 --> 00:14:49,250
Speaker 2: That is shit luck, dog.

341
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:50,989
Speaker 1: You've got to admit, that is shit luck. That's bad luck,

342
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:53,170
Speaker 1: isn't it, dog? Otherwise, they'd be playing finals. They lost

343
00:14:53,190 --> 00:14:54,050
Speaker 1: their last four games.

344
00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Essendon by a point. Cats by 11 points. The

345
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,660
Speaker 5: Giants by nine points.

346
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,980
Speaker 1: Look, they got close.

347
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: But ultimately, they put themselves in a position to play

348
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:08,300
Speaker 5: finals and even top four and then to lose your

349
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:11,810
Speaker 5: last four. And yes, in footy, there's a little bit

350
00:15:11,830 --> 00:15:14,490
Speaker 5: of luck involved in winning those games. those close games,

351
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:17,210
Speaker 5: but there's a lot of science and structure and discipline

352
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,330
Speaker 5: around them too, and that's how the Pies won the

353
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:19,970
Speaker 5: flag last year.

354
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:21,810
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. Because they won those close games.

355
00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: They only needed to win one of the last four,

356
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,260
Speaker 5: and they play finals, and they could not get the

357
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: job done.

358
00:15:26,460 --> 00:15:28,460
Speaker 1: If you don't have your best players, though, it's bloody

359
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,340
Speaker 1: hard against the good teams to win. You look at

360
00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Hawthorne on the floor, and they're going really well, but

361
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:35,060
Speaker 1: they played Richmond and North Melbourne the last two weeks.

362
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:40,300
Speaker 5: I know, but Port Adelaide– At home, losing Charlie Dixon.

363
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: Very winnable game for Freo, don't you think?

364
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, winnable, but their midfield, Port Adelaide's midfield is as

365
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,940
Speaker 1: good as anyone. Jason Horn-Francis with a new Dangerfield. Isn't

366
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,180
Speaker 1: he a star? They could rip apart a September like

367
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Dangerfield did in 2022, couldn't he? And potentially they could

368
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,900
Speaker 1: be matched up against each other for periods of the game.

369
00:15:57,980 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: Old man Danger ain't going to go anywhere near the Horn-Francis, unfortunately. Well, mate,

370
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,660
Speaker 4: he would break past Dangerfield like it was going out

371
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: of fashion.

372
00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: He's gone past him, you reckon?

373
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:05,430
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gone past him.

374
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: He hits the scoreboard too, which I love. Yeah, because

375
00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: he only gets 24 touches but kicks two.

376
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,610
Speaker 1: The last three weeks, he's had 20 plus and kicked

377
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:14,130
Speaker 1: two goals.

378
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:16,489
Speaker 4: And the difference, Dangerfield kicks it like me, which isn't

379
00:16:16,510 --> 00:16:19,210
Speaker 4: a good thing, and Horn-Francis kicks it like Andrew McLeod.

380
00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:20,750
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you blokes a stat.

381
00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:24,490
Speaker 5: This is probably the most underrated footballer in the competition

382
00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:27,910
Speaker 5: right now. If I said that to you, who would

383
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:30,250
Speaker 5: you say, Dino, if I said to you who's had

384
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: a huge year but isn't getting the plaudits that potentially

385
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: others are?

386
00:16:35,130 --> 00:16:35,650
Speaker 1: Lance Whitnall.

387
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:36,350
Speaker 2: John, who would you say?

388
00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Who's not getting the plaudits? I like John Newcomb. Probably

389
00:16:41,010 --> 00:16:44,100
Speaker 1: starting to get some plaudits recently. Bad start to the season,

390
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,850
Speaker 1: so he's really building. Broads?

391
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:47,330
Speaker 4: David Wirupunda.

392
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:49,710
Speaker 1: Oh, you blokes are f * * * ing idiots.

393
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:52,010
Speaker 1: I very rarely am I serious on this podcast.

394
00:16:52,030 --> 00:16:52,350
Speaker 2: No, sorry.

395
00:16:52,430 --> 00:16:54,510
Speaker 1: I ask the first serious question in a long time.

396
00:16:54,570 --> 00:16:55,010
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

397
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:57,550
Speaker 5: And you pull out Lance Armstrong, you pull out David Wirupunda.

398
00:16:57,790 --> 00:16:59,340
Speaker 1: Thanks for being so... John Yukim.

399
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:03,420
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay. So there's only two players in the history

400
00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:07,300
Speaker 5: of the game that have had over 30 goals, kicked

401
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:12,209
Speaker 5: 30 goals, had over 30 goal assists and 400 plus disposals.

402
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: There's only two in the history of the game. Acker

403
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 5: in 2004, kicked 44, had 44 goal assists and 497 disposals.

404
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: Huge, yeah. Right?

405
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:25,150
Speaker 5: Dylan Moore this year.

406
00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:26,170
Speaker 1: From the Hawks. Yeah.

407
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:27,510
Speaker 5: Right? Really?

408
00:17:27,650 --> 00:17:28,689
Speaker 1: He's kicked 35 goals.

409
00:17:28,930 --> 00:17:32,590
Speaker 5: He's had 31 goal assists and 442 disposals.

410
00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:33,890
Speaker 1: Wow. He's in rare air.

411
00:17:34,369 --> 00:17:37,050
Speaker 5: He will be an all-Australian half-forward flank. And the only

412
00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:39,270
Speaker 5: other person that got close to that, and he was–

413
00:17:39,630 --> 00:17:44,129
Speaker 5: desperately close, was Dusty in 17. He kicked 37 goals,

414
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:47,780
Speaker 5: had 744 disposals and 29 goal assists. So he missed

415
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,780
Speaker 5: that category because of one goal assist.

416
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,860
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.

417
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: You're getting compared to Acker and Dusty and you're dealing more?

418
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,510
Speaker 1: What a year. Can I use that tonight on the couch? Yeah,

419
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:59,139
Speaker 1: use it. Can I use that? I want you to reference–

420
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:02,570
Speaker 1: The Brown Dog. Don't say my actual name. I need attribution.

421
00:18:02,590 --> 00:18:02,909
Speaker 2: Yeah, always.

422
00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: That's how I'm going to say it.

423
00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:05,970
Speaker 5: Always, if you do an essay, you take a quote,

424
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: you need to write a little footnote down the bottom.

425
00:18:07,780 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: So the dog gave me this on Brownie's podcast.

426
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Then you can plug all of us.

427
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,740
Speaker 1: The podcast. Yeah, the dog gave me this on Brownie's podcast.

428
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,740
Speaker 1: There you go. It's beautiful. Because that's rare.

429
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,180
Speaker 3: John, make sure you do what Campbell did and said.

430
00:18:21,220 --> 00:18:23,810
Speaker 3: Do the quiz. Like, do you know there was only

431
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:24,710
Speaker 3: two plays in history?

432
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:26,050
Speaker 2: Really ramp up the drama.

433
00:18:26,090 --> 00:18:27,990
Speaker 1: Yeah, can I? I like that. It could be on

434
00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:30,210
Speaker 1: the couch shouts. We do a little segment, third segment,

435
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:32,370
Speaker 1: couch shouts. Great. So I got this from the brand.

436
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:36,610
Speaker 1: I love it. Now, that's a good one. They've got

437
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:39,530
Speaker 1: some good dangerous nipsies, haven't they? Ginevon. Nipsies?

438
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:40,230
Speaker 5: Moore.

439
00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:41,330
Speaker 1: What?

440
00:18:41,369 --> 00:18:42,330
Speaker 2: Hang on. Hang on.

441
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:45,010
Speaker 1: Do you just call them nipsies? Yeah, that's the word.

442
00:18:45,070 --> 00:18:45,890
Speaker 5: What do you mean?

443
00:18:45,970 --> 00:18:48,770
Speaker 1: Nippy little pies. Yeah, nippy. You know, they're quick. Yeah.

444
00:18:49,290 --> 00:18:50,950
Speaker 2: It sounds like something Gollum would say.

445
00:18:50,970 --> 00:18:52,810
Speaker 1: No, triple M. That's a triple M word. Yeah.

446
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:56,419
Speaker 5: Yeah. And they nearly got fraught with danger because it

447
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,830
Speaker 5: was offensive to Like who though? Not gypsies because they're nipsies.

448
00:19:01,070 --> 00:19:04,910
Speaker 1: Yeah, nipsies. Nippy players. So, you know, little nippies, you know,

449
00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:07,670
Speaker 1: in and under their little small forwards. And the other

450
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:11,300
Speaker 1: one too is Connor McDonald. He's very good as well.

451
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: And the one thing you've got to be careful when

452
00:19:13,619 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: you come up against Hawthorne, watch the lowering of the

453
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,899
Speaker 1: body height because they are the best at drawing a

454
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,180
Speaker 1: head high free kick their small forwards, which means having

455
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: a shot at goal.

456
00:19:21,740 --> 00:19:22,820
Speaker 5: Yep, absolutely.

457
00:19:22,859 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: Dog and John. Do they train for it?

458
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: Yep.

459
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 5: Anything that they can get a small 1% advantage in,

460
00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 5: they train for it.

461
00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:29,500
Speaker 1: Honestly, yeah.

462
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,460
Speaker 5: Jackie never takes that session each week.

463
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,290
Speaker 3: Hey, listen to me, both of you. Hawthorne are going

464
00:19:35,310 --> 00:19:36,750
Speaker 3: to murder the doggies.

465
00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:38,050
Speaker 1: No, mate.

466
00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:39,350
Speaker 2: All right, all right, fine.

467
00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 3: I'm just saying right now because you're ignoring all stats

468
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,510
Speaker 3: in the last two months of how they're going. The

469
00:19:45,530 --> 00:19:48,970
Speaker 3: final schminels, Hawthorne are going to murder the dogs.

470
00:19:49,109 --> 00:19:51,980
Speaker 5: I'm worried because the one thing that has caused some

471
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: problems this year, a big, strong key position forwards. Jesse

472
00:19:55,940 --> 00:19:58,220
Speaker 5: Hogan kicked a bag on them to beat them. They've

473
00:19:58,260 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: got Darcy who could just– this could be his Buddy

474
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 5: Franklin 2008 moment. That was in 07. But remember 08,

475
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 5: he kicked eight in the qualifying final on Dalmont.

476
00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yeah.

477
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: Okay, this could be his 2007 coming of age as

478
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,380
Speaker 5: a key forward.

479
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:13,780
Speaker 4: Yeah.

480
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 5: And they've got Norton as well as a nice little foil.

481
00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:18,270
Speaker 1: It just makes me a fraction.

482
00:20:17,910 --> 00:20:21,869
Speaker 5: Nervous that, you know, the Hawks' ball movement and offense

483
00:20:21,890 --> 00:20:23,710
Speaker 5: has been great. I know their defense has been good,

484
00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:27,810
Speaker 5: but two big key position forwards, that'll keep Sammy Mitchell

485
00:20:27,850 --> 00:20:28,310
Speaker 5: up at night.

486
00:20:28,550 --> 00:20:30,850
Speaker 1: Although they might have Liam Jones on the sidelines. He

487
00:20:30,869 --> 00:20:33,170
Speaker 1: may get suspended with a slim tackle. Yeah.

488
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:36,750
Speaker 2: They've adapted to every opponent in the last two months.

489
00:20:36,770 --> 00:20:39,790
Speaker 2: There's no difference. They're killing teams and doggies are their

490
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:40,409
Speaker 2: next victim.

491
00:20:40,450 --> 00:20:42,490
Speaker 5: You are their number one supporter just about.

492
00:20:43,010 --> 00:20:43,910
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.

493
00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:47,429
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're not. I am. The way it

494
00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: shapes up too, the two Melbourne teams, it's favourable for

495
00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:55,180
Speaker 1: them outside the top four, Bulldogs and Hawthorne, because theoretically

496
00:20:55,220 --> 00:21:01,990
Speaker 1: they play MCG, MCG, Sydney, MCG. So they're essentially at

497
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:04,780
Speaker 1: home for the month of September, maybe a little short

498
00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:06,820
Speaker 1: trip up to Sydney. So that's going to be an

499
00:21:06,859 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: interesting one to watch. So it's ended up a favourable

500
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: draw to win it from outside the top four for

501
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:13,810
Speaker 1: the two Melbourne clubs.

502
00:21:14,430 --> 00:21:16,750
Speaker 3: There is going to be an ESPN doco about this

503
00:21:16,790 --> 00:21:18,730
Speaker 3: season for Hawthorne after they win the flag.

504
00:21:18,890 --> 00:21:21,169
Speaker 1: There we go. Yeah, if they win it, it'll be.

505
00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:26,500
Speaker 5: The greatest premiership win in the history of the sport.

506
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: I'm talking better than the Doggies in 16. I'm talking

507
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:34,060
Speaker 5: better than the Baby Bombers in 93. There will be

508
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,500
Speaker 5: nothing like what Hawthorne has produced this season.

509
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,110
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say- Yes? I've never seen a team,

510
00:21:41,369 --> 00:21:47,050
Speaker 1: a group, win a grand final without playing in finals previously. Now,

511
00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: you can't include individual players like Bruce and Gunston. Yes,

512
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: I get it. They've been there. But I'm talking about

513
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: the core of the group have never been on a

514
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,060
Speaker 1: final series. We've never seen it.

515
00:21:57,180 --> 00:21:57,260
Speaker 4: No.

516
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: Where they've run the table and then they end up

517
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,129
Speaker 1: going and winning the grand final. So I'd be shocked

518
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:05,070
Speaker 1: if they won the grand final. I'm not saying they

519
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:07,090
Speaker 1: can't make it to the grand final, but I'd be shocked.

520
00:22:07,310 --> 00:22:10,990
Speaker 5: This is one time where naivety is actually a positive.

521
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:13,530
Speaker 5: They've got just the arrogance of youth a little bit.

522
00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:15,090
Speaker 5: They don't know what they don't know.

523
00:22:15,650 --> 00:22:16,050
Speaker 1: Yes.

524
00:22:16,270 --> 00:22:18,590
Speaker 5: They're just playing and having fun and they're a really

525
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:21,910
Speaker 5: tight-knit group. It's going to be a special September.

526
00:22:22,150 --> 00:22:24,950
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, interesting too. I did the Hawthorne North

527
00:22:24,990 --> 00:22:27,730
Speaker 1: game with Bucks. And it was just, even though 120

528
00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:30,090
Speaker 1: points is normally boring, it was actually fun to watch Hawthorne.

529
00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:32,890
Speaker 1: It wasn't fun for Cam Mooney. This was his day.

530
00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:38,030
Speaker 1: So Cam was the sideline reporter. He left Melbourne Airport,

531
00:22:38,109 --> 00:22:40,990
Speaker 1: first seen the first flight out down to Launceston. They

532
00:22:41,030 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: got over Launceston and it was too foggy. They had

533
00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: to circle. wouldn't land the plane, so they sent them

534
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,020
Speaker 1: back to Tullamarine Airport, landed at Tullamarine, but then the

535
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: passengers weren't allowed off the flight. They sat on the

536
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,210
Speaker 1: tarmac for an hour, then had another crack at it,

537
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,899
Speaker 1: then flew down to Launceston and then got off the plane. Landed. Landed.

538
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,810
Speaker 1: It took about four hours. Moon's got there halfway through

539
00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:07,450
Speaker 1: the third quarter. No. Did he? By that stage. Who

540
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:10,770
Speaker 1: was still a boundary? No one did the boundary. By

541
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:14,209
Speaker 1: that stage, mate, it's 80 points of difference. So we

542
00:23:14,270 --> 00:23:17,150
Speaker 1: crossed the Cam Mooney all of three times. That is amazing.

543
00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:21,970
Speaker 1: That's a shit.

544
00:23:22,030 --> 00:23:24,290
Speaker 5: I love it when that sort of shit happens to someone.

545
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 5: The very first time Gold Coast played Hawthorne down in Lonnie,

546
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 5: we got diverted to Hobart, right, and then had to

547
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:35,500
Speaker 5: get a bus back to Lonnie, which is not ideal.

548
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 5: It's probably a couple of hours. Yeah, three or four hours,

549
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: which is annoying. But we never got circled around and

550
00:23:41,580 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 5: got sent back home.

551
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:47,090
Speaker 1: So have a shit one, Moons. Hey, ads. We'll be

552
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,210
Speaker 1: back in a second. We'll call sticks. Okay, back in

553
00:23:49,230 --> 00:23:49,590
Speaker 1: a second.

554
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:54,850
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Brownies Podcast at Brownies Podcast on TikTok

555
00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:57,290
Speaker 3: and Instagram and all that stuff. Now, John, you let

556
00:23:57,310 --> 00:24:00,670
Speaker 3: slip just now that you went to an intimate dinner

557
00:24:01,050 --> 00:24:03,830
Speaker 3: with the great Razor Ray Chamberlain.

558
00:24:03,869 --> 00:24:04,870
Speaker 2: True or false, who was there?

559
00:24:05,070 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I bought it at an auction. I was there

560
00:24:09,420 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: with a good mate of mine who's close friends with

561
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:15,180
Speaker 1: Razor Ray. He's wonderful company. Wonderful company. I was there

562
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,619
Speaker 1: with our good friend, Polly. Dino, who's obviously had a

563
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:21,900
Speaker 1: tragic few weeks, but he had plenty of laughs. Big

564
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,290
Speaker 1: Razor Ray was on fire, and he's just retired. 48

565
00:24:24,290 --> 00:24:27,489
Speaker 1: years old. 48 years young, I should say. Yeah, he's

566
00:24:27,530 --> 00:24:29,949
Speaker 1: had a great career. He had a great career. You

567
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:32,409
Speaker 1: know he did. He was telling me he did the

568
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:36,609
Speaker 1: GWS Richmond Grand Final in 2019, and he had all

569
00:24:36,650 --> 00:24:38,929
Speaker 1: his cashies lined up because he didn't think he was

570
00:24:38,970 --> 00:24:41,190
Speaker 1: going to get the Grand Final. Well, mate, he gets

571
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:45,530
Speaker 1: the grand final. So all of a sudden. But the

572
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:49,740
Speaker 1: CFMEU function they run on a Saturday morning of grand

573
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: final was too lucrative to him. So he thought, I've

574
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: still got to slip it in. So he did the

575
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,020
Speaker 1: CFMEU function on the way to the ground. No, he

576
00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: did not. Left the car running out the front. That

577
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:06,220
Speaker 1: is extraordinary. And then quickly did the quick function and

578
00:25:06,260 --> 00:25:08,659
Speaker 1: then jumped out into the car, into the MCJ.

579
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 5: Well, you can't be letting Johnny Setka down, can you?

580
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,500
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, exactly right. Mick Caddo was in the front row.

581
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,660
Speaker 1: Johnny Setka was there.

582
00:25:14,770 --> 00:25:16,770
Speaker 4: Campbell would be a big Setka man. I love the

583
00:25:16,790 --> 00:25:17,910
Speaker 4: tattoo he got around his neck.

584
00:25:18,090 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, man.

585
00:25:18,890 --> 00:25:21,350
Speaker 4: God forgives, but the CFMU doesn't.

586
00:25:21,410 --> 00:25:23,050
Speaker 1: It's iconic. It's iconic.

587
00:25:23,109 --> 00:25:25,730
Speaker 5: It's as good as Benny Cousins' Such Is Life, you know,

588
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:27,510
Speaker 5: which he got off the great Ned Kelly.

589
00:25:27,910 --> 00:25:28,170
Speaker 3: John.

590
00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:30,910
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes.

591
00:25:31,010 --> 00:25:33,750
Speaker 3: How did Razor make– because I'm sure Razor's doing fine.

592
00:25:34,330 --> 00:25:36,490
Speaker 3: How did he make money before being an umpire? Because

593
00:25:36,510 --> 00:25:38,389
Speaker 3: it went professional.

594
00:25:37,650 --> 00:25:38,790
Speaker 2: When he was still in his 40s.

595
00:25:38,830 --> 00:25:41,330
Speaker 1: He's a mortgage broker, but he's worked his whole way through.

596
00:25:41,980 --> 00:25:44,340
Speaker 1: So he's been an umpire for the best part of

597
00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:44,859
Speaker 1: 20 years.

598
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,689
Speaker 4: And I think they do financial services as well now.

599
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:49,310
Speaker 1: Haven't they expanded out? Financial services, I think. He's on fire,

600
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:51,070
Speaker 1: the big fella. So I'll tell you what I don't

601
00:25:51,090 --> 00:25:53,689
Speaker 1: agree on. Now, Rays is a great example. Rays is

602
00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: a great decision maker. But what held him back was

603
00:25:56,300 --> 00:26:00,460
Speaker 1: his ability to bounce the ball. Now, that gets– that

604
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: almost supersedes the decision-making of umpires and has a big

605
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,939
Speaker 1: bearing on whether umpires do finals or grand finals. So,

606
00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:12,670
Speaker 1: you know, that really shouldn't come into play. If you've

607
00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:14,530
Speaker 1: got a gun bouncer, he should just do the bounce

608
00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:15,690
Speaker 1: every time. Exactly.

609
00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:17,790
Speaker 4: If you've got one that can do it each per game,

610
00:26:18,050 --> 00:26:19,869
Speaker 4: that's fine, and then just have that person do it,

611
00:26:19,890 --> 00:26:21,649
Speaker 4: and then it doesn't matter about the other umpires. They

612
00:26:21,690 --> 00:26:23,170
Speaker 4: didn't need to be able to bounce the ball, particularly

613
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:24,620
Speaker 4: if it's wet. If it's at the G and there's

614
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: a little bit of rain, they're not bouncing it anyway.

615
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: Well, that's right.

616
00:26:26,660 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: In terms of what's important, what do you care about?

617
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,939
Speaker 3: Good decision-making for three hours or the stupid bounce that

618
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,740
Speaker 3: doesn't happen much?

619
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Spot on. Exactly. Absolutely. It's the decision-making. What about

620
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the umpire abuse? That's an interesting one, isn't it? They've

621
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: certainly let that go over the last couple of years. Yeah.

622
00:26:43,619 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: I reckon partly to do with the umpires didn't really

623
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: like it. Well, no one liked it. Because they're the

624
00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: ones that copped the abuse.

625
00:26:48,619 --> 00:26:51,580
Speaker 5: It's an emotional game and players need to be able

626
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 5: to express their that split second of anger or frustration

627
00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:58,330
Speaker 5: without being overly demonstrative. If you're saying something personal.

628
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,820
Speaker 1: We're all grown men. You know, you take it.

629
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 5: You don't need to be blowing the whistle and giving

630
00:27:02,460 --> 00:27:06,090
Speaker 5: 50-meter penalties for things like that. So I'm glad that

631
00:27:06,109 --> 00:27:08,750
Speaker 5: that has gone out of the game because no one

632
00:27:08,770 --> 00:27:11,810
Speaker 5: wants to see a game decided because a player's put

633
00:27:11,850 --> 00:27:13,490
Speaker 5: his hands up in frustration.

634
00:27:13,550 --> 00:27:15,609
Speaker 2: So was Razor on the Reds? What was he drinking?

635
00:27:15,650 --> 00:27:18,130
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Razor had a Red Bull. He's in the off-season now.

636
00:27:18,150 --> 00:27:20,780
Speaker 1: I said, mate, you've got 12 months of grace. You

637
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: can just fatten up a little bit, Razor, right? Because

638
00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:25,340
Speaker 1: those boys have got to keep bloody fit. Best story

639
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: he tells– And he rolled it out again for me

640
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:31,129
Speaker 1: last night. I said, best sledge you've copped? And he said, yeah,

641
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:35,450
Speaker 1: the best sledge he copped ever was the Dingo Razor.

642
00:27:35,730 --> 00:27:37,389
Speaker 1: And then someone yelled out from across there, it might

643
00:27:37,410 --> 00:27:40,670
Speaker 1: have been Carlton Sputter, the Dingo took the wrong chamberlain.

644
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,669
Speaker 1: That's a good sledge, isn't it?

645
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,220
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure Lindy would be absolutely rapt hearing that.

646
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:52,300
Speaker 1: Hey, turns out Matt– Teams are on Mad Monday, boys.

647
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,900
Speaker 1: Ten teams are on Mad Monday, dressed up, outfit. What's

648
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,850
Speaker 1: your favourite memory from Mad Monday, Brando?

649
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:01,330
Speaker 5: Well, I like to dress up as a Catholic priest

650
00:28:01,710 --> 00:28:05,050
Speaker 5: and go to Mad Monday because I'm a very spiritual guy, obviously.

651
00:28:05,070 --> 00:28:05,149
Speaker 1: Yeah.

652
00:28:06,970 --> 00:28:09,130
Speaker 5: My favorite Mad Monday was when you organized the pig

653
00:28:09,170 --> 00:28:10,990
Speaker 5: races for us up there on the Gold Coast.

654
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:14,070
Speaker 1: And it all ends well. The pigs are safe. Yeah,

655
00:28:14,090 --> 00:28:17,369
Speaker 1: they're safe. It's all done professionally. You know, it's the race.

656
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:19,330
Speaker 1: It's the race to the dish of milk.

657
00:28:19,790 --> 00:28:20,129
Speaker 2: Yeah.

658
00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:20,940
Speaker 1: That's how they get.

659
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,189
Speaker 2: Them to chase.

660
00:28:21,260 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: And we just bet on it. Brodie, it's good for

661
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:24,620
Speaker 1: the pigs.

662
00:28:24,660 --> 00:28:25,740
Speaker 2: It's good for the pigs.

663
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: It's exercise.

664
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: I'm glad that over half of my career, Mad Mondays,

665
00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: things like Instagram and social media didn't exist for most

666
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,220
Speaker 5: of it.

667
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:34,580
Speaker 1: Yeah.

668
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 5: But in the back end, when I was up at

669
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:38,660
Speaker 5: the Gold Coast, I had this beautiful photo.

670
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,380
Speaker 1: The club, I took, right?

671
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 5: At Metricon Stadium in the background, all the players, all

672
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,459
Speaker 5: 50 of us from the Gold Coast dressed up as

673
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,910
Speaker 5: Ninja Turtles and whatever it was. And only two years ago,

674
00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 5: I had a call from the AFL-PA saying, And they

675
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 5: demanded that I take that photo down. I had to

676
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:00,290
Speaker 5: scroll all the way down to the bottom of my Instagram, right,

677
00:29:00,310 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: because I hadn't started it in 2007. Because you remember– Yeah, yeah. Yeah,

678
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,580
Speaker 5: part of his gripe with the AFL was some of

679
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 5: the dress-ups on that particular day. So I had to

680
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,810
Speaker 5: remove it from Instagram as part of the healing process.

681
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:20,370
Speaker 1: Oh, really? Yeah. So it wasn't sort of Fev level,

682
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:22,630
Speaker 1: was it? Nah, nah. Fev with a purple dildo. Not

683
00:29:22,650 --> 00:29:25,380
Speaker 1: with a dildo. Nah, nah. John, John, come on.

684
00:29:25,610 --> 00:29:28,540
Speaker 3: Don't cheapen Fev's performance that day. It was a bucket hat,

685
00:29:28,670 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 3: it was a 90, and it was a 12-inch cock.

686
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,660
Speaker 1: Oh, man.

687
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: On Collin Street in the middle.

688
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,940
Speaker 1: Of the city.

689
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 4: I've heard that your man Fly, because Collingwood haven't made

690
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: the finals, he has banned dress-up day on Mad Monday.

691
00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:41,660
Speaker 1: No. Yep.

692
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: They cannot dress up this Mad Monday. Bullshit.

693
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: I saw him yesterday at Williamstown, Fly. Yep. Really? Yes.

694
00:29:47,780 --> 00:29:49,300
Speaker 4: They've got to go on plain clothes because they.

695
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Didn't make finals.

696
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: What would you dress up as if we were going

697
00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:54,070
Speaker 5: to Mad Monday today? What would you dress up as?

698
00:29:54,090 --> 00:29:56,910
Speaker 1: I don't know who I would. My favourite. At the

699
00:29:56,970 --> 00:30:00,630
Speaker 1: actual time of leading, I went one year as Amon Buchanan,

700
00:30:00,710 --> 00:30:03,170
Speaker 1: Premiership player at Sydney. He was playing for the Lions.

701
00:30:03,780 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: He wanted to go as a wrestler, so I said,

702
00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: we'll go you for a wrestler. He went as Hulk Hogan.

703
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: I went as the Ultimate Warrior. I used to love

704
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:11,780
Speaker 1: the Ultimate Warrior. Remember the Ultimate Warrior? I do. Yeah,

705
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,770
Speaker 1: and so Kyle's, she got us all organized. She went

706
00:30:14,810 --> 00:30:17,410
Speaker 1: to Spotlight and went shopping. She made our costumes for us.

707
00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:21,070
Speaker 1: But the thing is, though, the wrestlers of the 80s, mate,

708
00:30:21,130 --> 00:30:23,910
Speaker 1: tanned up, aren't they? Yeah. Kyle's obviously had the spray

709
00:30:23,930 --> 00:30:26,460
Speaker 1: tan kit at home. She had the spray gun. And

710
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,860
Speaker 1: to get the right level of spray tan for the

711
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Ultimate Warrior, it took three coats. And I said to Coles,

712
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: will this wash off? She goes, yeah, no, it'll be fine.

713
00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: It didn't wash off, mate. It didn't wash off for

714
00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:41,290
Speaker 1: three weeks. I was orange. It was unbelievable. Jeez, we

715
00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:44,050
Speaker 1: looked good turning up to the nightclub after Mad Monday

716
00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:46,150
Speaker 1: was done. And we ended up rolling into the nightclub

717
00:30:46,170 --> 00:30:48,650
Speaker 1: dressed as the ultimate warrior and Hulk Hogan.

718
00:30:48,850 --> 00:30:49,350
Speaker 2: That's nice, man.

719
00:30:49,370 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: At the Backpackers Bar, mate. It was appreciated by the bouncers.

720
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: I'd have a police officer strapped to me and I'd

721
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,610
Speaker 3: be dressed like Jack Carlson dressed and I'd be going

722
00:30:59,690 --> 00:31:00,390
Speaker 3: as Mr.

723
00:31:00,450 --> 00:31:02,650
Speaker 1: Succulent Chinese. Yeah, that's a good one.

724
00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:04,950
Speaker 4: I saw a guy last year that was dressed up.

725
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:07,070
Speaker 4: It was from our old footy club, was dressed up

726
00:31:07,130 --> 00:31:08,770
Speaker 4: as Andrew O'Keefe and had one of the Deal or

727
00:31:08,810 --> 00:31:09,690
Speaker 4: No Deal suitcases.

728
00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:13,310
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, great one, great one. Remember the blue oyster

729
00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:17,310
Speaker 1: bar from Police Academy? Yes. One of the boys came

730
00:31:17,370 --> 00:31:19,300
Speaker 1: as one of the characters out of the blue oyster bar,

731
00:31:19,690 --> 00:31:23,459
Speaker 1: yet his leather pants had a big hole cut out

732
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: of the arse. Oh, that's nice. I thought it was

733
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:28,940
Speaker 1: a good memory. Good memory. I'm not going to say

734
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: who it was. I reckon I'd go with Dino. No,

735
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,220
Speaker 1: I'd go as Ray Gunn. I'd go as Ray Gunn.

736
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:37,050
Speaker 1: Ray Gunn. I tell you, there'd be a lot of

737
00:31:37,090 --> 00:31:39,290
Speaker 1: bikes going as Ray Gunn this year. Yeah, a lot

738
00:31:39,310 --> 00:31:41,610
Speaker 1: of Ray Gunns. Maybe too many. Hey, tell me about that.

739
00:31:41,790 --> 00:31:44,890
Speaker 1: How's that gritty going? How's that gritty going? Have we

740
00:31:44,910 --> 00:31:45,390
Speaker 1: got the gritty?

741
00:31:45,550 --> 00:31:46,650
Speaker 4: I got the gritty down.

742
00:31:46,770 --> 00:31:47,950
Speaker 2: Well, you said it was bad.

743
00:31:47,970 --> 00:31:49,209
Speaker 4: You said it was terrible this morning.

744
00:31:49,230 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm doing the gritty. I'm committed to it.

745
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,180
Speaker 5: Mate, I've been watching Justin Jefferson do it on Receiver.

746
00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:57,940
Speaker 1: Yes, nice. Okay, we're doing the gritty. We're putting that

747
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: up this week, aren't we, Beck?

748
00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: We are.

749
00:32:00,390 --> 00:32:02,310
Speaker 3: Can someone show me what it is, dog?

750
00:32:02,350 --> 00:32:03,030
Speaker 1: Do you mind?

751
00:32:03,070 --> 00:32:05,330
Speaker 5: I can't really do it that well, but it's just–

752
00:32:05,710 --> 00:32:07,210
Speaker 5: It's just like a dance, you know?

753
00:32:07,270 --> 00:32:10,150
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm watching it. Dino, your level of

754
00:32:10,190 --> 00:32:12,150
Speaker 1: commitment to this has been poor. I mean, it's been

755
00:32:12,170 --> 00:32:15,220
Speaker 1: about it for two weeks. Yeah, you've done your homework.

756
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: Listen to me, you sons of bitches.

757
00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: You're not doing homework. You're not committed to this podcast.

758
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: In my defense, you did this whole thing in the

759
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,820
Speaker 3: episode I wasn't here, so I'm just observing this one.

760
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: All right?

761
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: I'm still breaking my balls.

762
00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:28,220
Speaker 1: Bec's sending stuff out on the WhatsApp group. She's sending

763
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,810
Speaker 1: examples of the gritty. We've told you about the receiver

764
00:32:30,850 --> 00:32:34,890
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson. No excuse. No excuse thing. Oh, gritty.

765
00:32:35,230 --> 00:32:38,590
Speaker 5: I'm constantly doing homework week to week leading into this podcast.

766
00:32:39,230 --> 00:32:39,410
Speaker 1: Ads.

767
00:32:39,890 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 5: If we gave you homework for Childish Dino, would you

768
00:32:42,410 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 5: do it?

769
00:32:42,910 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: Probably.

770
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,460
Speaker 2: Ads. Back in a second.

771
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:51,260
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Brownie's Podcast. So there's a buy this.

772
00:32:51,380 --> 00:32:53,990
Speaker 3: When is the footy back, John, just for me?

773
00:32:54,190 --> 00:32:54,970
Speaker 5: Next Thursday.

00:32:55,590 --> 00:33:00,140
Speaker 1: Port Adelaide hosts Xilong, then Friday night is. Obviously, Hawthorne,

775
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:03,300
Speaker 1: Western Bulldogs, MCG. Then the Saturday game is GWS Sydney

776
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: and Brisbane Carlton.

777
00:33:04,820 --> 00:33:06,660
Speaker 4: I'm yet to float with my boss whether I can

778
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:08,750
Speaker 4: go to the port game and just miss work the

779
00:33:08,790 --> 00:33:09,110
Speaker 4: next day.

780
00:33:09,170 --> 00:33:09,750
Speaker 1: That is big.

781
00:33:09,770 --> 00:33:13,190
Speaker 4: Home port final against Geelong. I think you should go.

782
00:33:13,310 --> 00:33:14,250
Speaker 2: Brother, just go.

783
00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:17,170
Speaker 1: Do it and ask questions later. Any chance of straight sits?

784
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 4: This will be our third year in a row for

785
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:22,180
Speaker 4: straight sets, which would be– I'm very used to them.

786
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 4: It's become a big part of my life, straight sets, exits,

787
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 4: and I just– I can't do it again. Emotionally, I

788
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: can't do it again.

789
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:28,060
Speaker 1: This year's different, I think.

790
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,860
Speaker 2: All right, so– Dog, time four.

791
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,740
Speaker 1: What a world.

792
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,340
Speaker 5: And this what a world, I'm going to go into

793
00:33:32,380 --> 00:33:34,540
Speaker 5: great depth, and there's a topic attached to it because

794
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 5: on Saturday night, I made my way to the Country

795
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,100
Speaker 5: Victorian Racehorse of the Year Awards, right?

796
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:44,380
Speaker 1: 650 people at Lumiere, the Melbourne Convention Centre.

797
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 4: How much did you make for it?

798
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 5: Sit-down dinner. No, I just went there as part of

799
00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:47,620
Speaker 5: the SEN track.

800
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:50,130
Speaker 1: Who won it, by the way, the country races?

801
00:33:50,410 --> 00:33:55,450
Speaker 5: I left, yeah. I left in protest, and I'll tell

802
00:33:55,470 --> 00:34:01,470
Speaker 5: you why. Because halfway through the evening, Nigel Carmody was emceeing.

803
00:34:01,610 --> 00:34:04,630
Speaker 5: He's Channel 7 VFL commentator, a good friend of mine,

804
00:34:05,210 --> 00:34:09,870
Speaker 5: and he introduced the Nelson twins, who are famous Australian comedians.

805
00:34:09,890 --> 00:34:11,430
Speaker 5: They've got the long hair. They've got the long beard.

806
00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:15,310
Speaker 5: They come out with an Australian tracksuit, and they tell

807
00:34:15,330 --> 00:34:20,180
Speaker 5: stories Jokes. They're inappropriate. They're mainly dick jokes and things

808
00:34:20,219 --> 00:34:23,209
Speaker 5: like that. And they bounce off each other. 20 minutes set.

809
00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:26,049
Speaker 5: I've done a few gigs with them before. mainly in

810
00:34:26,770 --> 00:34:29,170
Speaker 5: local footy clubs, real sort of sporties.

811
00:34:29,370 --> 00:34:30,070
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.

812
00:34:30,190 --> 00:34:31,690
Speaker 5: This is the first time I'd actually seen them on

813
00:34:31,870 --> 00:34:32,630
Speaker 5: the big stage.

814
00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:35,410
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought that's probably the best crowd, the

815
00:34:35,450 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Country Racing Awards.

816
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 5: Well, they're an older demographic and a lot of the

817
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: chairmen of racing clubs, Terang and Warrnambool, they bring their wives.

818
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:46,580
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

819
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,469
Speaker 2: Just give me so I can imagine.

820
00:34:48,530 --> 00:34:51,850
Speaker 3: Are we talking Rodney Rude territory, Kevin Bloody Wilson, or

821
00:34:51,870 --> 00:34:54,290
Speaker 3: are they a bit more nuanced?

822
00:34:54,489 --> 00:34:57,670
Speaker 5: Probably in between Kevin Bloody Wilson and Rodney Rude.

823
00:34:57,850 --> 00:34:58,270
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

824
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:02,580
Speaker 1: Very self-deprecating, their humor. Gotcha.

825
00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 5: Talking a lot about being twins and what that means.

826
00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:08,540
Speaker 5: One of them got a larger appendage than the other

827
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,299
Speaker 5: and they're identical twins. All that sort of stuff. And

828
00:35:12,620 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 5: halfway through their set, probably three-quarters of the way through

829
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:16,660
Speaker 5: their set, they were losing the crowd.

830
00:35:17,570 --> 00:35:18,010
Speaker 1: Oh, no.

831
00:35:18,070 --> 00:35:20,190
Speaker 5: You could just tell that some of the gags just

832
00:35:20,210 --> 00:35:23,890
Speaker 5: weren't hitting the mark. The laughter wasn't there. So they

833
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:27,170
Speaker 5: went deep. So as a comedian, I've seen Lawrence Mooney

834
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:27,810
Speaker 5: do it.

835
00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:29,689
Speaker 1: You've only got two options, right?

836
00:35:29,750 --> 00:35:29,830
Speaker 4: No.

837
00:35:31,530 --> 00:35:34,509
Speaker 5: Your end you said earlier, which you can't do, or

838
00:35:34,969 --> 00:35:38,049
Speaker 5: you dive deep down into your trick book and you

839
00:35:38,070 --> 00:35:40,450
Speaker 5: get a little bit ruder and grubbier and a little

840
00:35:40,469 --> 00:35:44,730
Speaker 5: bit more outrageous, which Lawrence Moody did at the Carbine

841
00:35:44,750 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 5: Club lunch last year.

842
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,430
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

843
00:35:47,739 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 5: And that's fraught with a bit of danger because if

844
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 5: you're missing the mark the first time around, now there's

845
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 5: a real chance that– You're going to miss a mark.

846
00:35:54,380 --> 00:35:57,259
Speaker 5: So they doubled down on some of their humour and

847
00:35:57,300 --> 00:36:00,590
Speaker 5: it got to a point where someone in the crowd,

848
00:36:00,770 --> 00:36:01,770
Speaker 5: he had his.

849
00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:03,090
Speaker 1: Will Smith moment at the Oscars.

850
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:05,340
Speaker 5: He stormed the stage.

851
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,980
Speaker 1: None of us knew what was going on. Older gentleman.

852
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:08,820
Speaker 1: Older gentleman.

853
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,230
Speaker 5: He grabbed the mic out of Justin Nelson's hand and

854
00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:15,810
Speaker 5: he said, I don't know who booked you, but this

855
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:20,410
Speaker 5: is an absolute disgrace, right? He said he singled out

856
00:36:20,450 --> 00:36:23,620
Speaker 5: his wife, right, who they'd made not remarks about her,

857
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,379
Speaker 5: but about maybe where she was from. And he said,

858
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 5: and this is a disgrace. And you folks, you're not funny.

859
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: You've got no reason that you should be up here.

860
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,140
Speaker 5: Do your homework before you come to an event like this.

861
00:36:34,580 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: Get off. And he handed the mic back. He stormed

862
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,299
Speaker 1: off the stage.

863
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,969
Speaker 5: And the crowd was like, oh. Whoa. I've never seen

864
00:36:42,010 --> 00:36:44,710
Speaker 5: it in 20 years of my life. And they then said.

865
00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:47,410
Speaker 5: 20 years of my life. I'm 40, but in the

866
00:36:47,410 --> 00:36:50,090
Speaker 5: 20 years I've been going to comedian gigs. And then

867
00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:52,730
Speaker 5: they said, put your hands together if you want us

868
00:36:52,770 --> 00:36:53,470
Speaker 5: to keep going.

869
00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:53,970
Speaker 1: Yeah.

870
00:36:54,330 --> 00:36:55,950
Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah.

871
00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:59,290
Speaker 1: And like no one else in the room started clapping. Oh, man.

872
00:36:59,489 --> 00:37:02,410
Speaker 5: And then the boss boss got up and he just

873
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:05,270
Speaker 5: shooed them off. He waved them off. And they left

874
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:09,110
Speaker 5: the stage. And guess who the first person they messaged

875
00:37:09,530 --> 00:37:14,310
Speaker 5: backstage was? It was 9.17 and they messaged me and said,

876
00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:19,310
Speaker 5: do they want an encore? And I was like, wow,

877
00:37:19,390 --> 00:37:21,469
Speaker 5: what just happened? That was unbelievable.

878
00:37:22,969 --> 00:37:25,339
Speaker 2: Since I have your number, was it you that organised this?

879
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:27,020
Speaker 5: No, I didn't organise it.

880
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: Bullshit. He made the Channel 7 News last night and

881
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:33,299
Speaker 1: the guy, I was like, whoever's organised it. They're going

882
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,219
Speaker 1: to get the sack. There's going to be an investigation.

883
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 5: The guy that organized it was just made redundant about

884
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,500
Speaker 5: two months ago.

885
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: So it was his farewell.

886
00:37:39,980 --> 00:37:44,169
Speaker 5: It was a big up yours, I reckon. So that

887
00:37:44,370 --> 00:37:46,590
Speaker 5: to me was what a world.

888
00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:49,089
Speaker 1: I witnessed it. Yes. And it just poses the question.

889
00:37:49,110 --> 00:37:50,950
Speaker 1: And for it to make the news as well. Made

890
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:53,020
Speaker 1: the seven news. Might have been a part of that.

891
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: It just poses the question.

892
00:37:54,780 --> 00:37:59,740
Speaker 5: And Dino, you wrote some of. Pangs jokes at the Logies.

893
00:37:59,940 --> 00:38:00,300
Speaker 1: Yes.

894
00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 5: Where's Schumer gone in Australia, right? Because there's 650 people

895
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:08,380
Speaker 5: in the room. If one is offended, does he have

896
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:11,340
Speaker 5: the right to storm the stage and interrupt and stop

897
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,860
Speaker 5: the procedure if one person's offended? What if the majority

898
00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:16,660
Speaker 5: of the room was enjoying it? I know on this

899
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 5: occasion it.

900
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: Was probably 50-50.

901
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: Well, clearly they weren't because you're the only one that applause.

902
00:38:20,219 --> 00:38:20,379
Speaker 4: Yeah.

903
00:38:22,030 --> 00:38:25,330
Speaker 3: It sounded like the guy calling him off may have

904
00:38:25,370 --> 00:38:26,509
Speaker 3: been reading the room.

905
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:28,969
Speaker 5: I think he was reading the room, but I just

906
00:38:28,989 --> 00:38:30,670
Speaker 5: want to pose the question. I'm not saying who's in

907
00:38:30,690 --> 00:38:33,130
Speaker 5: the right or who's in the wrong, but what a world.

908
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:35,350
Speaker 5: Very good, what a world.

909
00:38:35,630 --> 00:38:37,770
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, Ed. I think the talent booker needs to probably

910
00:38:37,790 --> 00:38:40,009
Speaker 1: look a bit closely at his audience next door. Yeah,

911
00:38:40,130 --> 00:38:40,430
Speaker 1: I agree.

912
00:38:40,469 --> 00:38:42,810
Speaker 5: And the bloke that interrupted is from Warrnambool, and we

913
00:38:42,830 --> 00:38:45,090
Speaker 5: know that people from Warrnambool have no senses of humour.

914
00:38:47,020 --> 00:38:49,060
Speaker 2: All right, degenerates, talk to you very soon.

915
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,790
Speaker 1: All right, I'll see you.
