Speaker 1: No more footy free weekends for the foreseeable future. That
Speaker 1: means where all systems go in the Phantom's Lair. This is,
Speaker 1: of course the Phantoms speaking in twenty twenty five will
Speaker 1: be back every Monday. All your favorites will be on

Speaker 1: as I said, practice matches in full swing. The Chief
Speaker 1: is here, Hayden dos Kenny, welcome back. You've brought a friend,
Speaker 1: one of your men from the ground. You always refer
Speaker 1: to him. You're almost your secret whisper that making you
Speaker 1: look good on the show.
Speaker 2: You've brought him in.
Speaker 3: I have, Yes, we've had him once on the show
Speaker 3: already coming into the leb, but not the official lair,
Speaker 3: not with you know, the Phantom back on deck. So
Speaker 3: we've got Jordan Desenna here. Walk us through your credentials, mate,
Speaker 3: because you have had a couple of top finishes. You're
Speaker 3: a regular in the Super Coach high rankings and also
Speaker 3: dare I say a little bit of a nuffie, a
Speaker 3: little bit of a port Adelaide nuffy as well on
Speaker 3: the track watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to be back, boys, thanks for having me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: love and obviously yeah down at port training the last
Speaker 2: probably four weeks, I think, so down there, Dossi, which
Speaker 2: was awesome, busy and yeah, I mean tweeting a few
Speaker 2: notes out, but yeah, a couple of high finishes. I
Speaker 2: guess twenty twenty twenty three was eleven and last year
Speaker 2: was two ninety eight, so hopefully you can try and
Speaker 2: get another top five hundred finish. But yeah, can you
Speaker 2: get stuck in and talk about some of these players
Speaker 2: putting their hands up in our sides?
Speaker 1: Impressive numbers. You'll probably never ever see, Dossi what we've
Speaker 1: seen so far, but there's always another season. But are
Speaker 1: you in our league, Dossie? We do have a bit
Speaker 1: of a phantoms lair league for the Listener's a bit
Speaker 1: of an open league.
Speaker 2: What can you tell us?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm even going to drop the code just
Speaker 3: here live on air and then everyone can check the
Speaker 3: description if you so choose. But we haven't dropped this
Speaker 3: anyway yet yep.

Speaker 1: Five Names worked up a forty love first set. First
Speaker 1: game of the first set against Hipster is well and
Speaker 1: truly in front of that now. We haven't seen Hipster
Speaker 1: for four weeks now, so time is ticking but we
Speaker 1: hopefully again we'll see him on the lair in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. But before we starts now we know our
Speaker 1: friends listen to this show across the border over in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Got a few texts after last week's show, didn't mind
Speaker 1: the old chief nickname.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I copped a few in the in the DMS
Speaker 3: this week. Yeah from one Dan Batton. Yep, given it
Speaker 3: to me in the chat.
Speaker 1: Got one message yesterday okay saying can you please tell
Speaker 1: the Chief stop copying me? The Chief referred to you
Speaker 1: as the Chief.
Speaker 2: Stop it copying? Yep.
Speaker 1: Your social media on x at hktos Okay. Your overreactions,
Speaker 1: you're overreacting man from there with some Tim Mitchell thinks
Speaker 1: you're copying him and even said Dossie the Chief at
Speaker 1: least pick someone funny if you're going to copy someone.
Speaker 2: Who's this in reference to specifically?
Speaker 1: What have been one of your Who did you tweet
Speaker 1: about with the picture of the.
Speaker 3: There was a few tweets and I want to talk
Speaker 3: about that right now. Fans, our overreactions from the trial
Speaker 3: matches your specialty, absolutely love and overreaction. Who did we
Speaker 3: overreact to on the weekend? Who's come into your team
Speaker 3: out of nowhere that wasn't in there before.
Speaker 2: Jordy, you kick us off. Oh I love Riley Sanders
Speaker 2: sixteen cbas. I'm just I'm locking him in at the moment.
Speaker 1: Now you had a few, Dossie, what was your biggest one?
Speaker 1: Will day for me?
Speaker 3: Looking at him cruising out there for the Hawks.
Speaker 2: He dominated on the weekend.
Speaker 3: I've also got SDK Sam to Conning, He's coming in
Speaker 3: of the ruck, James Cecily. Who else have I got
Speaker 3: Riley Sanders? He will come into my team as well.
Speaker 3: Harley Reid didn't play, but easy in as well.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I've got Mitch Nevert solidified him on the bench. That's it.
Speaker 2: Though cannot overreact.
Speaker 1: He cannot bring someone in from nowhere after a game
Speaker 1: for nothing, a practice match, unofficial practice match, at least
Speaker 1: wait for two. I haven't changed my team. If you
Speaker 1: have listened to the phantoms there before, I don't change
Speaker 1: my team a lot over the preseason. We need to
Speaker 1: see a bit more, a lot of mid price, a
Speaker 1: lot of guys we haven't seen do it before. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can take a little bit out of it. Don't
Speaker 1: bring in someone from nowhere yet, It's only one game. Okay,
Speaker 1: we are going to dive into all the numbers and
Speaker 1: all the games and all the actions so far it's
Speaker 1: Tuesday here, but first we are going to cross to
Speaker 1: our men.
Speaker 2: Couldn't quite make it in there.
Speaker 1: He is a busy man, I have been told also
Speaker 1: just you know, haven't seen him for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Just they might have enjoyed himself a little bit too
Speaker 1: much at Livgulf DOSSI. But five Names a couple of
Speaker 1: days before that, Simmy and Kingsley Thomas Wilson, the man
Speaker 1: on the beat in Adelaide, has been all over the
Speaker 1: Crows at the internal trial last weekend. Five Names, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the lair on call. Sid Drap wrote the story
Speaker 1: this morning. You wrote him off a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: but you're writing him back on.
Speaker 4: Yes and no, Hello, Fantom, Hello everybody, Yes, no ya.
Speaker 4: The phone unfortuate shouldn't be there today, as he said, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I did go to the poor period up and back
Speaker 4: in the day. So the things I do for you
Speaker 4: guys and the fans very good to see what's happening
Speaker 4: in the Crow's internal trial, Sid Draper, yeap, Yes, well,
Speaker 4: Teds normally does have a good idea. He went on
Speaker 4: radio and said that he reckons Draper is a pretty
Speaker 4: good chance for round one, staying to soften my softened
Speaker 4: a little bit, but I remember one big tap on
Speaker 4: here Phantom yep and dossin everyone. I wouldn't be I
Speaker 4: hate it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a stub.
Speaker 2: That is very Matthew Nicks. That was going to be
Speaker 2: my question about Draper, just whether he's that best twenty
Speaker 2: two and if he's a sup or that he's him
Speaker 2: back in.
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I reckon again like he was in
Speaker 4: the A's on the internal the internal trial, but is
Speaker 4: that ranking was with the Indigenous All Stars, So that's
Speaker 4: the big thing. And I just reckon with his speed,
Speaker 4: his acceleration from a stoppage. He's an ideal sub.
Speaker 5: For the Tros to begin the season with.
Speaker 2: Well that's for us.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting one here. We'll have to keep an
Speaker 3: eye that a popular rookie option for us all sim
Speaker 3: but five names. I want to ask you about a
Speaker 3: guy that I've been keeping a real close eye on.
Speaker 3: First in the premium bracket, really big on Jordan Dawson,
Speaker 3: the Skipper.
Speaker 2: How did he go in the trial.
Speaker 4: Yep, good played midfield, did DAWs and things.
Speaker 1: That was a concern, wasn't it where we'd play playing midfield.
Speaker 1: I still have the concern though, he's just so valuable
Speaker 1: to Matthew Nicks everywhere. He's probably going to want to
Speaker 1: start in the midfield. Does that mean he's going to
Speaker 1: move him around though when he's needed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's proper that that very well would happen.
Speaker 4: And again again with Draper with almost everything, you're another
Speaker 4: cavea that rankin wasn't there, so see how ranking kind
Speaker 4: of comes in. But Dawson did start first and a bounds.
Speaker 4: I reckon, Yeah, I reckon. He's think he's the only
Speaker 4: thing now he's probably don't play more midfield than anything else.
Speaker 3: Now we have a super coach guru with us today
Speaker 3: in Jordan. Jordan, is there any players here you want
Speaker 3: to ask him about and get the intel from up
Speaker 3: and port period in that intra club.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, James Petling is sitting in my team currently
Speaker 2: at M five, so I've put him there at M five.
Speaker 2: Just wondering on his role. I know there has been
Speaker 2: a bit of talk about him on the wing or
Speaker 2: maybe half forward. Was he playing inside mid?
Speaker 5: He was around the ball, around the ball, just not
Speaker 5: even near the wing.
Speaker 4: He was an electric She's he's someone I reckon you
Speaker 4: should feel very confident about locking in now. I guess again,
Speaker 4: maybe see what happens in the two practice matches, but
Speaker 4: other the two yeah, preseason matches.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he was around the ball, his speed.
Speaker 4: He was getting a lot of footy him actually more
Speaker 4: select went to the winging at times, even though Celia
Speaker 4: was racking up the ball in the first quarter, so
Speaker 4: Lego went to the wing in more in the second,
Speaker 4: a bit more, but it was still kind of coming
Speaker 4: in and adding an extra manners of the stoppage. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I said, Peteling was a lot more on the ball,
Speaker 4: not really half forward, not really on the wing. Did
Speaker 4: us Niets about it after the game, and he said,
Speaker 4: ideally they will get what they do want to get
Speaker 4: peeling around the ball, but it could be a week
Speaker 4: to eak themes. But at the moment, I reckon that
Speaker 4: price is pretty almost a lot.
Speaker 2: That's what we want to hear. Five names. That's the
Speaker 2: intel we got you on for.
Speaker 1: But Dan Kurtin, you've been riding on Code sports dot
Speaker 1: com DOTU for a while now about how the crows
Speaker 1: Ford line might look in twenty twenty five with an
Speaker 1: extra tool including Dan Curtain. Is that what you saw
Speaker 1: on Friday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that he was impressive, Dan like he's a
Speaker 4: he's a big boy. He's ad it added some size
Speaker 4: to him, but he's still very good on when the
Speaker 4: ball goes to ground.
Speaker 5: He was still played mainly.
Speaker 4: Forward, so they're looking at that four tools for interesting
Speaker 4: At times he did line up on a wing.
Speaker 5: That's some sent about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess when they were resuming the game, all
Speaker 4: that kind of kind of stuff. So that I reckon
Speaker 4: his role maybe more forward a couple of times on
Speaker 4: the wing.
Speaker 5: The other thing was to watch that coming.
Speaker 4: He started on the wing, but when MATTX Michael Lannie
Speaker 4: went down with his dissipated thumb, he was more in
Speaker 4: defense after that.
Speaker 3: That is a juicy developments. Maxing down for Round one.
Speaker 5: I reckon he's on track to play Round one.
Speaker 4: The throw said today he'll miss the two preseason games,
Speaker 4: but he's aiming for Round one, so I think he's
Speaker 4: going to return for that.
Speaker 5: That's Michael Laney.
Speaker 4: I'll just say that when we did he only played
Speaker 4: probably about I don't know.
Speaker 5: Eight minal was a lot of minutes. He had about
Speaker 5: a couple of times where he was streaming forward.
Speaker 4: To being providing attack off half back, which we haven't
Speaker 4: seen from him, but that could be.
Speaker 5: That could be the next evolution in Mike clanning people.
Speaker 2: We like it.
Speaker 1: Five names all over it. You are, of course, see
Speaker 1: all of Simeon Thomas Wilson. We call him by his
Speaker 1: real name for once, code sports dot com dot au
Speaker 1: for all things crows and I say footyball. Finish off
Speaker 1: with one last question, one word answer from you five names.
Speaker 1: Did you pay for anything that live golf on Sunday? Yes,
Speaker 1: so wouldn't have been much.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 1: We'll see you back here on the lair next week
Speaker 1: and of course at Simeon Underscore tw on X to
Speaker 1: follow our man five names.
Speaker 5: Just one thing? Sorry was hipster?
Speaker 2: Well, good question.
Speaker 1: We've just we spoke about the top of the show
Speaker 1: that you've definitely won the first game you will and
Speaker 1: truly into the second and third game as well in
Speaker 1: that theoretical tennis match. But we haven't seen him, so
Speaker 1: left right, good Night's growing legs every week.
Speaker 5: Go well we might you never know. We might, we
Speaker 5: might not. Who knows?
Speaker 2: See five Names? All right?
Speaker 3: Great intel from five Names there at the Crow's trial
Speaker 3: game live in person. Look, you might have seen a
Speaker 3: bit of a live stream on the weekend. Bit choppy though,
Speaker 3: dare I say so? Good thing that Five's name was
Speaker 3: there on the ground for us getting that intel. Should
Speaker 3: we move on to the next game, fans.
Speaker 2: We should? We had some actual competition.
Speaker 3: We did so, the indigenous All Stars as alluded to
Speaker 3: by five Names versus Freemantle, and I think we need
Speaker 3: to kick it off with a favorite of the lair
Speaker 3: fans and a new sting for the show in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five.
Speaker 2: We love it, the Horny One.
Speaker 1: We have to start at the top as well, with
Speaker 1: the biggest issue, the whole super Coach community.
Speaker 2: How man our Peyton again?
Speaker 1: Geordy's shaking her even he knows yep now ours covered
Speaker 1: off every game all this key start. You need to
Speaker 1: know codesports dot com dot you super Coach super Coach
Speaker 1: match my match Intel. I'll read you one line here
Speaker 1: on JASONR. Francis does he okays, still not in my team,
Speaker 1: but that decision is looking shaky by the minute.
Speaker 2: Still not in his team?
Speaker 1: What did he score one hundred and thirty two super
Speaker 1: coach points?
Speaker 2: What else can we what else can you do with that?
Speaker 2: It's I mean, what did you did you get to
Speaker 2: catch the game? Jordan?
Speaker 3: Like I was impressed, started on the bench, I think
Speaker 3: as well, so came off and lit the crowd alight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean more. France has been in my team
Speaker 2: since the team picker open. He hasn't left that f
Speaker 2: one spot. Been pretty excited about him. One hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two points. Did have the three goals, but only
Speaker 2: seventeen disposals, Like I feel like that can get in
Speaker 2: the height like twenties twenty fives, you know, a goal
Speaker 2: or two. Still got the one thirty two super Coach.
Speaker 2: He's just that perfect contested player that gets like scoring
Speaker 2: just is great for him. And yeah, he just hasn't
Speaker 2: left my side. I understand there's you know, you've got
Speaker 2: some your butters and Rosie. We're taking some points there potentially,
Speaker 2: But I still think as a forward he is going
Speaker 2: to be one of our top guys. And I'm just
Speaker 2: I'm locking him in. There's nothing to understand.
Speaker 3: We've got the portrait on the wall for a reason.
Speaker 3: The horny one. He's Alair mascot this year. I'd almost
Speaker 3: suggest fans, yeah, he's locked in. There was a couple
Speaker 3: of other performances though, maybe you know, got coaches thinking
Speaker 3: out their Jay Simpkin four one hundred and twenty nine
Speaker 3: k forward mid playing a lot of midfield, thirty disposals,
Speaker 3: ten clearance is a goal and one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: four super coach points. One of the rare games that
Speaker 3: we did get some Champion Data stats on and it
Speaker 3: was good to see that one fifty though. He was
Speaker 3: the top scorer of Jay Simpkin Any interest fans, no, none.
Speaker 2: Three percent owned too high. He was good.
Speaker 1: He was good on the weekend. I've seen him being
Speaker 1: quite not so good performed.
Speaker 3: He was an option late last year though, coming into
Speaker 3: a few teams when he switched it around, had his
Speaker 3: midfield time back was sort of stuck forward from memory
Speaker 3: early last year. So some interest perhaps from Jordan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that back half of last year got
Speaker 2: a little bit more CBA's which is awesome to see. Again,
Speaker 2: it's just be good to see one of these North
Speaker 2: Melbourne match sims to actually see that mix. Obviously have
Speaker 2: a lost award law yep. So there could be a
Speaker 2: bit of time. There's obviously there's a bit of talk
Speaker 2: about Parker there so be good to see. But to
Speaker 2: see him fit and firing is good science. Well, they're
Speaker 2: the key things to take care of it.
Speaker 1: Because Frio coach justin Long we were did say after
Speaker 1: the game that Freer weren't giving much away, that took
Speaker 1: it pretty easy. They weren't trying to put in place
Speaker 1: what they've been preparing for for the season. Justin Long
Speaker 1: we openly admitted that, so didn't say they were going easy.
Speaker 1: They definitely weren't. Yeah, beforea that we're going to see
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, so we have to sort of
Speaker 1: think about that sort of thing. In all the games
Speaker 1: we know you look for different parts, and I think
Speaker 1: the role fit moving well is a tick for him,
Speaker 1: but I can't go there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll have to see how he goes in the North.
Speaker 3: Melbourne actual matched him coming up as well with their
Speaker 3: proper team. A couple of names though that we can
Speaker 3: take a bit of solace in performing well. Brayshaw and
Speaker 3: Sorong just doing what we know that they can do.
Speaker 3: Both I think so so wrong one hundred Brayshaw ninety nine.
Speaker 3: You know, as you say, you're sort of not foot
Speaker 3: not completely on the pedal in this one as well,
Speaker 3: So very happy with that.
Speaker 2: If you were locking them in, you wouldn't do you know,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be changing your plans. YEP.
Speaker 3: A couple of other names though that brought got brought
Speaker 3: to our attention on the weekend. I would say more
Speaker 3: so than ever before, because it wasn't really highly owned
Speaker 3: this guy heading into the weekend Nathan O. Driscoll, very
Speaker 3: high priced rookie bracket, so up near two hundred k.
Speaker 2: You've got to pay for this guy, Bud. He was
Speaker 2: looking good.
Speaker 3: Eighteen disposals, ten marks, six tackles on a wing, one
Speaker 3: hundred and four super coach points, couple of cbas I
Speaker 3: think as well in there. So I just don't know
Speaker 3: about paying up for a wingman if he's going to
Speaker 3: get that role, and even if he can retain that
Speaker 3: role throughout the season.
Speaker 2: But your thoughts fans well.
Speaker 1: In Code Sports Rookie Bible, Dan Batton and I did
Speaker 1: cover him off early in the preseason because he finished
Speaker 1: it was big in the waffle. This is the kid
Speaker 1: that came in I think if it wasn't his debut.
Speaker 1: It was his second game scored a super coach Ton
Speaker 1: when he made his debut a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: had some injury issues. Last seven games in the Waffle
Speaker 1: last season six super coach Tons one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: points tween nine disposed to finish off in the Grand
Speaker 1: Final as well, so a big finish in the state league.
Speaker 2: So I don't mind it.
Speaker 1: I'd want to see, yes, how he fits in exactly
Speaker 1: with everyone there and the proper Frio structure that well
Speaker 1: game plan that long alluding to. But we've spoken about
Speaker 1: paying up for the rookies this year. I think he
Speaker 1: fits into that bracket if he is injury free. He
Speaker 1: has been there before, unlike the draft d's, so I
Speaker 1: don't mind it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: On Noddy, big fan, big plat person in the super
Speaker 3: coach community. Damo was a on the podcast earlier this
Speaker 3: pre season. He's been shouting his name from the mountaintops
Speaker 3: as a Freemantle fan, and now he'll probably be wanting
Speaker 3: to shout that a little bit quieter because I think
Speaker 3: his ownership is going to jump quite a bit after
Speaker 3: the weekend. Just a couple more names to wrap things
Speaker 3: up for this game. Reedy in the rack thoughts Jordy
Speaker 3: on running him as maybe your second ruck bench ruck
Speaker 3: or even in the flex position as a what's he's
Speaker 3: only in the one fifty cave thirty two?
Speaker 2: I think do you think for me originally with Darcy
Speaker 2: being a couple of weeks is what it was coming
Speaker 2: out of there, But I think Darcy is now US
Speaker 2: five to seven. I think was the new Shawan Darcy.
Speaker 2: So if Redy can get five for six games and
Speaker 2: you're going to get that price rise, he probably is
Speaker 2: starting to tempt me as an option scoring wise. Yeah,
Speaker 2: obviously got the fifty five, but see if we can
Speaker 2: get a price rise, there probably one that we should
Speaker 2: actually consider at his price tag. So I guess as
Speaker 2: the preseason goes on, we'll see if we get these
Speaker 2: guys like Boyd and Archer Reed and these types, and
Speaker 2: whether just how he structure up on that fleex and
Speaker 2: three position a little bit of interest, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, talking about no overactions fans ready was another one
Speaker 3: that maybe he's way into my team.
Speaker 2: He was in there before.
Speaker 3: Actually, I just think if you've got the Rucks and
Speaker 3: they're actually playing, even if it's for a short period
Speaker 3: of time, as you said, I think, yeah, Sawan Darcy's
Speaker 3: somewhere in that round three to five or I think
Speaker 3: it was three to five range, So that makes it
Speaker 3: a bit tricky if he's coming back fans, But what
Speaker 3: do you think.
Speaker 1: Diiffern question as well. Luk Jackson scored a super coach points.
Speaker 1: If he plays as a number one man, or at
Speaker 1: least without Darcy for five weeks, that get you off
Speaker 1: to a big start. We know how big he can go.
Speaker 1: Looks good. It looks like.
Speaker 3: Reedy's just been in the plans all preseason for the
Speaker 3: Dockers like to bring him in and let Luke Jackson
Speaker 3: because they're sick of being like, Okay, Luke Jackson, you're
Speaker 3: going to play this role. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: Seann Darcy goes down yet again, and then they have
Speaker 3: to be like, oh, let's you know change he's been
Speaker 3: training not as a pure ruck all preseason, and then
Speaker 3: to throw it to him again. I think they're going
Speaker 3: to go with Reedy, But as you said, if Jackson
Speaker 3: is solo round one, it'd be hard to pass up
Speaker 3: a run of you know, whether it's three, five, six,
Speaker 3: how many rounds it takes for Darcy to get back.
Speaker 3: We know how good he can be.
Speaker 1: Sure they're better side with Luke Jackson in the ruck
Speaker 1: now Harasthmus quickly seventy four super Coach points him thirteen
Speaker 1: cbas as well in the nod bracket in terms of rookies,
Speaker 1: a cheaper rookie though we've beat his drums a lot
Speaker 1: here on the show. Some good signs the seventh top score,
Speaker 1: so he was number seven for super Coach point for
Speaker 1: the Dockers on the weekend.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen an update on Wangane Miller, but had
Speaker 3: the injury tag next to him on the AFL APP
Speaker 3: hoping that is just a cramp or something like that.
Speaker 3: I didn't catch what was that, So keep your eye
Speaker 3: out on some news on wanganeen Miller as well. Hopefully,
Speaker 3: as we said, nothing major there and we can keep
Speaker 3: tracking there. He scored a sixty odd but had very
Speaker 3: low time on ground onto the North Melbourne internal trial.
Speaker 3: Some standout names Harry Shecheezel best on ground playing mid
Speaker 3: as expected. I mean, I've he's been in my team
Speaker 3: a lot of the preseason, but recently I've been trying
Speaker 3: to be a bit fancy and go against him. He's
Speaker 3: straight back in now for me, Jordan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same, He's one of those guys that hasn't actually
Speaker 2: left my side since the team picker. I think just
Speaker 2: that d One, I just I love having him there,
Speaker 2: just sitting there, just very solid. I even think, yeah,
Speaker 2: if it's that mid forward, I still think he's going
Speaker 2: to score unreal. So he is locked in for me
Speaker 2: and yeah, great to see you as best on ground.
Speaker 3: A few other really super coach relevant names to talk
Speaker 3: about in this one. Fans Caleb Daniel dominating half back
Speaker 3: as predicted.
Speaker 2: Mkircher.
Speaker 1: Just let me ask you though, if the report was
Speaker 1: Cave Daniel couldn't get a kick, would you take him
Speaker 1: out of your team?
Speaker 3: Well maybe, like if you can't get a kick in
Speaker 3: an internal trising the worst part of North Melbourne can't
Speaker 3: overact Daniel. Mckirch is the one that's interesting though, because
Speaker 3: you know, there was a lot of clips that we
Speaker 3: saw from that game of him dominating, disposing of the ball,
Speaker 3: fantastic butar wing forward as was flagged last week when
Speaker 3: we were talking about them about defenders, He's not going
Speaker 3: to be playing defense as far as we know at
Speaker 3: the moment it is still pre season, but as far
Speaker 3: as we know that he's not in that defensive role.
Speaker 3: He is in a wing forward role. Are you still
Speaker 3: interested in him as a bargain price player.
Speaker 2: I've actually had SDK there as a D three and
Speaker 2: I've just upgraded him today. It's mccircher. Now, wow, I
Speaker 2: know it's not a half back role, but I just
Speaker 2: saw some footage rolling three of him looking like Eryl Goulden.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether or that was who that was
Speaker 2: coming from, but it just looked awesome and you can
Speaker 2: see what Errol do can do on the wing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've actually just upgraded him with my D three positions,
Speaker 2: so maybe that isn't overreaction, but I do like him.
Speaker 2: No reaction. I already knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: I've put him into the break act and I think
Speaker 1: we spoken about this a couple of shows ago.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like Harry She's I said
Speaker 1: it with Harry Scheer last year. I've said it with
Speaker 1: the co mkirche started a pre season. This kid's just
Speaker 1: a good player, a great player.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need he doesn't need to play across half
Speaker 1: back and get easy footy, just like Harry she was even,
Speaker 1: so I think we're going to learn similar again in
Speaker 1: the show. Does Jordi mentioned there what he can do?
Speaker 1: He's better for North, for up the ground like Harry Cheezel.
Speaker 1: He's going to show that he can score without that
Speaker 1: easy role.
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned Eryl Goulden and Dossy's coming with a
Speaker 3: few little nuggets of stats.
Speaker 2: Yeah for the boys.
Speaker 3: But if he is playing wing, yeah, I know it's
Speaker 3: probably likely a bit of a mixture, maybe a little
Speaker 3: bit of inside, maybe even floating back sometimes.
Speaker 2: We don't know yet. It's so early.
Speaker 3: But the only wing classified by Champion Daughter as a
Speaker 3: wingman too average over one hundred last year was Eryl Gouldon.
Speaker 3: Only two other wings averaged over ninety. He's priced at
Speaker 3: eighty eight, so he's going to have to be one
Speaker 3: of the top three averaging wings in the competition to
Speaker 3: outperform his price.
Speaker 2: Does it change your mind on Mkircher? I think he
Speaker 2: can do it. Me too, not convinced. Who are the
Speaker 2: other two?
Speaker 1: Is a hefty prie to pay? Well, I have a
Speaker 1: competition now, we thought we're going to give us a competition.
Speaker 1: The other two England average over ninety Josh Dekos and
Speaker 1: Blake Acres.
Speaker 2: I think if Kangaroos are going to win more games,
Speaker 2: hopefully he's going to have and like you said, that
Speaker 2: impact ford them the ball. I'm hoping that that's going
Speaker 2: to push those extra points there. And yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: that video I saw it just looked so good. So
Speaker 2: I just had to had to put him in. But
Speaker 2: he is at a.
Speaker 1: Price where you don't have to start him. He's not
Speaker 1: going to get away from you as such.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably where I land just because you know,
Speaker 3: an eighty eight price tag. He a lot of those
Speaker 3: scores where he dominated last year were in that half
Speaker 3: back role where he would just put up monster ceiling
Speaker 3: scores and we're expecting, you know, Caleb Daniel to be
Speaker 3: in that role this year. So that's that's just where
Speaker 3: I'm landing. I think I'll wait and see. I'm the kircher.
Speaker 3: But he's a he's a young gun of the competition.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's not going to have a great year.
Speaker 3: I just wonder whether that price points a bit tough
Speaker 3: some other players just gaining a bit of by We'll
Speaker 3: just go through these guys quickly, Luke Parker, your thoughts, Jordan,
Speaker 3: because We've had a few thoughts on Luke Parker on
Speaker 3: this podcast and on the Forward podcast that the Melbourne
Speaker 3: Guys did last week. They had some interesting thoughts on
Speaker 3: Luke Parker. It was also abs Magic, so from the
Speaker 3: Scodfather himself, Oh my god, thinking that, look, they're going
Speaker 3: to need that bigger body to go in there with
Speaker 3: some of these young midfielders, and he was pretty high
Speaker 3: on Luke Parker as well as as was the Melbourne Crow.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think he's definite gonna play midfield.
Speaker 2: He's going to split mid ford. I'm pretty sure he's
Speaker 2: come out and said that he's going to pay some
Speaker 2: forward time. I just wonder like their midfield does have
Speaker 2: a bit of depth, and it's just can you push
Speaker 2: some of those other guys that we've got there as
Speaker 2: a top six forward. For me, He's probably just going
Speaker 2: to be something that I'm going to wait on and see,
Speaker 2: I think in season and if I need to trade
Speaker 2: into someone like that, I will, I think, just to
Speaker 2: start with him, I think I'm going to go with
Speaker 2: the pack on the other popular guys. Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: think it might be hard for him to break into
Speaker 2: that top six forward category with the other names that
Speaker 2: we've got, but one to watch. Obviously, no simp can
Speaker 2: on the weekend as well. Wardlaw is out, but I
Speaker 2: think Tom Power is actually the guy that they're going
Speaker 2: to use as that sort of fix it with Wardlaw
Speaker 2: out and obviously how the other names Elder You and Cheesel.
Speaker 2: I think we might see Tom Power actually take a
Speaker 2: bit of mid time as well.
Speaker 1: We did close last episode doss He with a bit
Speaker 1: of Tom Power action as well. We spoke about it
Speaker 1: more in the draft conversation, but North have been pumping up.
Speaker 1: We know he's a big supercoat, Scread's best as well,
Speaker 1: has got the game for it and might now have
Speaker 1: the body physically be ready to do it.
Speaker 3: There wasn't too much groundbreaking stuff though, other than you know,
Speaker 3: stuff we maybe already knew from the intra club there.
Speaker 2: Cherry just was arrested as well.
Speaker 3: Played a little bit, and as you say, no overreactions,
Speaker 3: so we can pick and choose what we can and
Speaker 3: can't overreact to him just getting rested.
Speaker 2: Duck, I'm not going to react to that at all,
Speaker 2: So move on to anyway, can look good playing against
Speaker 2: their teammates Western Bulldogs versus Essen. The game back to
Speaker 2: the games.
Speaker 3: Back to the real stuff here now, just a reminder
Speaker 3: on who was out of this game. Dogs were missing
Speaker 3: the Bond, a few other names made mainly Tom Libertorio
Speaker 3: is probably the other one. So two of their main
Speaker 3: stays in the midfield.
Speaker 2: Will just mention.
Speaker 3: Darcy Parish as well was out for the Dons, but
Speaker 3: he is going to miss round one as far as
Speaker 3: we know. So there is a couple of major missing
Speaker 3: components of the midfield.
Speaker 2: But Elijah sadis one hundred and ninety one k fans.
Speaker 3: I think we've been talking, We've been talking about for
Speaker 3: a while now, but he's a well known he's well
Speaker 3: known in the super coach community as a guy that
Speaker 3: could take that.
Speaker 1: Step another tick for him in terms of making his
Speaker 1: way into our starting teams. Still a big wash to
Speaker 1: what happens the rest of the preseason, but shown again
Speaker 1: he can win the ball on the outside, kicking played
Speaker 1: up a little bit which we've discussed as well, but
Speaker 1: definitely very versatile in the roles he can play there
Speaker 1: through the midfield and I think if he gets to
Speaker 1: go the amount of footy he can win. If he's
Speaker 1: just get the backing of Brad Scott to go out
Speaker 1: there and win the footy in that midfield, then then
Speaker 1: we have to pick him. But not going to make
Speaker 1: that call until we see the next game.
Speaker 3: Now, Riley Sanders, you mentioned off the top you're impressed
Speaker 3: with his game cheap in our forward line three hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty nine K. He's been the buzz of the
Speaker 3: super coach community the last couple of weeks, but we
Speaker 3: got to see him in action against the Dons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had seventy three percent CBA is the most
Speaker 2: out of the dogs. And I don't know if you saw,
Speaker 2: but last week there was an article on AFL dot
Speaker 2: com dot you and it was about his dire and
Speaker 2: he's living with Cha Law now and all the professionalism
Speaker 2: that he's taken out of last year and also getting
Speaker 2: dry and just he just seems like like he's going
Speaker 2: to take his game to another level. And then obviously
Speaker 2: now we have that injury news about tra Law missing
Speaker 2: with his calf. I just feel like he's going to
Speaker 2: take that role. And we still don't know what's happening
Speaker 2: with liber obviously he was missing as well. I just
Speaker 2: feel like it might be BoNT Richard's and Santa is
Speaker 2: in Kennedy as the third and fourth. Obviously, if Lib's there,
Speaker 2: he'll probably get some time. So that's probably your five guys.
Speaker 2: And I just think he's gonna, you know, at his price,
Speaker 2: I think he's a really good option, and I'm pretty
Speaker 2: keen on him. And he's obviously, you know, as a junior,
Speaker 2: you know, got a lot of pedigree, and I'm pretty
Speaker 2: hot on him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seventy three per center bouncers just on start, I
Speaker 1: said eighty six percent of the Bomber Center bouncers. But
Speaker 1: Riley Sanders isn't someone that needs that figure to score.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so don't you We're not we're not overreacting
Speaker 3: with that seventy three percent because we know we know
Speaker 3: liber is not there. You're saying you think he can still.
Speaker 1: If he's the fifth formast, if he's the guy, yeah, few,
Speaker 1: And then given the way he wins the foot, he's
Speaker 1: a bull magnet around the ground too, so he's not
Speaker 1: pigeonholed into a role. He's still sort of us as
Speaker 1: attacking player. And then gets his parts in the in
Speaker 1: the mitery, in that center bounced rotation. Then might be
Speaker 1: enough at three thirty nine. Okay, he's a fools gold.
Speaker 1: I think it could be. Definitely could be.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Probably the only thing is the bevo like just
Speaker 2: it could be subbed, sub those things. Role just you
Speaker 2: just want to make sure. But if he's there and
Speaker 2: he's in that rotation, I can't see why I won't
Speaker 2: be picking him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was that game last year where he subbed
Speaker 3: at halftime when I think he was dominating up in
Speaker 3: the world. In our view, he was dominating up until
Speaker 3: that point. I just want to talk about a man
Speaker 3: that you brought to the table very early on this show.
Speaker 3: I think that was the one you missed fans and
Speaker 3: you were saying you were hot on Ed Richards back then,
Speaker 3: and all we've seen so far is amazing things from
Speaker 3: the man.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a big Ed Richards man. I think. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just the back end of the last year, he went
Speaker 2: at one O four I think it was, and I
Speaker 2: just I feel like he can at least do that
Speaker 2: this year. And I think, yeah, it was mentioned that
Speaker 2: usually takes these guys a year like sort of in
Speaker 2: the midfield, just to work out that craft. And now
Speaker 2: he's had a full preseason. I saw an article come
Speaker 2: out and he said that a full preseason in the tridfield.
Speaker 2: He knows his role now, like I guess last year
Speaker 2: had a bit of defense and mid and then now
Speaker 2: he's focused on that role. I think he's going to
Speaker 2: be the number two guy behind Bond, and I can
Speaker 2: see him going, yeah, I can see sort of ten
Speaker 2: points I'm going to upside there from his price. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I just yeah, a big, big Ed Richards fan and
Speaker 2: going to be a point of difference.
Speaker 3: I'd still suggest for this season given his prices ninety eight,
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of that awkward price bracket. I don't
Speaker 3: think the masses are going to jump on especially given
Speaker 3: this one.
Speaker 2: You know, no Bond, no Libber.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens before we get to see them
Speaker 3: in round one, but I'd suggest he's still going to
Speaker 3: be a point of difference heading into round one. He's
Speaker 3: currently in my team as well.
Speaker 2: Fans three owned.
Speaker 1: Speaking of low owned, what about our old man, his
Speaker 1: man bears Man at Bear Tourists. Now it's been coming
Speaker 1: soon on him.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 1: Joel Frazier, Yes four roundred and seventy k defender had
Speaker 1: it on a string across half back for the Dogs
Speaker 1: did show some good signs when he played last year,
Speaker 1: Like Bear said he would, we need to see more
Speaker 1: awkward price. But there's one to add to the watch list.
Speaker 1: I thought we saw I do like Joel Frayer. I
Speaker 1: just wish he was just a little bit cheaper.
Speaker 2: I think he's in that awkward bracket where he could
Speaker 2: be a great D five, D six if he's just
Speaker 2: a little bit cheaper.
Speaker 3: But the player I didn't mention Bailey Dale. I don't
Speaker 3: think he was out there either, so just one to watch.
Speaker 3: He was mopping up back there, but you know it
Speaker 3: was Rory Lobb was getting a fair bit of it
Speaker 3: back there and Fraser So.
Speaker 1: Cody Weightman won't be out there for a while either,
Speaker 1: we learned this week as well, which you know brings
Speaker 1: the mature a to Sam Davison from the VFL, who
Speaker 1: was probably in the frame already for early season debut,
Speaker 1: now even more so given Weightman won't be there and
Speaker 1: therefore Low we know Jamari Hukahagen are still doubts over
Speaker 1: when he will be available. So Sam Davidson one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirteen k Ford looking like a good one for
Speaker 1: the bench. You know it might not be a huge screwreok, No,
Speaker 1: it looks okay, but he's he going to get off
Speaker 1: the footy. But again only takes a couple of games
Speaker 1: good game as a Ford for his price to shoot up,
Speaker 1: So good bench option looming there.
Speaker 2: Fraser won the time troll too other dogs.
Speaker 3: I am you know what, He's a guy that I
Speaker 3: would love to I'd love to start as a pod
Speaker 3: attis at Bettorius shout out just a couple more names
Speaker 3: here from this game now our Peyton. He did put
Speaker 3: it in his wrap up. As we've mentioned up on
Speaker 3: Code Sports, he was talking about Dylan Shield four hundred
Speaker 3: and thirteen k. He's playing off halfback is the big thing.
Speaker 3: I could never go there. The body is just too
Speaker 3: much of an issue for me. But he could be
Speaker 3: especially in draft. He's one that's clearly having a role change.
Speaker 3: He's going back on that half back flank and he's
Speaker 3: going to be, you know, going to outperform his price,
Speaker 3: I think. But way too risky I think for me.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: But then there was a couple of rookies Isaac Kaco.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to just have job security, oodles
Speaker 3: of job security, whether or not he can score. We
Speaker 3: know small forwards aren't the greatest scorers, but his job
Speaker 3: security is going to be through the roof. Might be
Speaker 3: worth paying up a little bit extra for that.
Speaker 2: He might be talking about in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Could be the Joe Berry versus Isaac Coco, similar price,
Speaker 1: small forwards their clubs who should play and they've got
Speaker 1: plenty of tricks. Yeap might be one of the other
Speaker 1: given their price, But I reckon that's a conversation.
Speaker 2: We'll have to have a great thing about CaCO is
Speaker 2: we get to see him in opening rounds. So if
Speaker 2: he's putting up a score there, I think that might
Speaker 2: help our decision. If if it's a low one, then
Speaker 2: as you said, it could be okay, let's give Joe
Speaker 2: Berry a crack here. So that's great to get that
Speaker 2: opening round score.
Speaker 1: We saw Braden Crossley as well former son play in
Speaker 1: the ruck for the Dogs teimming. They spent a bit
Speaker 1: of time Ford but the story come through a cross
Speaker 1: our desk a little bit earlier from John ralfhamanover at
Speaker 1: The Herald. Son said it's probably not match fit yet
Speaker 1: and would unlike be unlikely to play around one even
Speaker 1: if he was elevated onto the list, and he is
Speaker 1: the favorite now to get that spot, but still, given
Speaker 1: he hasn't done a four pre season for a while,
Speaker 1: might will not be ready to come in and play.
Speaker 1: So again, announcement from the dogs on him would be
Speaker 1: look like good super coach news, but maybe not right away.
Speaker 3: Good to know and sad El Hawali that was how
Speaker 3: the pronunciation was on the broadcast as far as I know,
Speaker 3: one hundred and nineteen point nine K did a little bit,
Speaker 3: but I probably think coaches were hoping he'd pop off
Speaker 3: in this one. So still a wait and see. But
Speaker 3: if he, if he you know, if the job security
Speaker 3: is there, he's going to be nice. At one nineteen K,
Speaker 3: you'd hope he gets that opportunity, but we'll wait and see.
Speaker 3: Still no definitive answer. Following that trial game, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have thought West Coast.
Speaker 2: Probably just won. What Zach Reid actually looked really good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he's the same sort of price as as Sadu Harley,
Speaker 2: and I've got him and on my bench at the moment.
Speaker 2: I think as long as he can stay fit, I
Speaker 2: think he would be a good option.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, he's won that. I think most of
Speaker 3: still a big if, still a big if. Yeah, most
Speaker 3: of US had last year but injured in Round one
Speaker 3: on about a fifteen. So West Coast versus Richmond on
Speaker 3: this next game, now, I know Jordan did some stats
Speaker 3: on this one, some manual stat getting we did mention.
Speaker 2: Off the top of the show a little bit of
Speaker 2: a nuffy there on the coach front.
Speaker 3: Good on your mate, And I got to watch this
Speaker 3: game as well. Wasn't the greatest affair West Coast versus Richmond,
Speaker 3: especially with these names out, Tim Taranto, Jacob Popper, Tom Lynch,
Speaker 3: Nick f Lost and Jayden Short, Toby named Curvis, Nathan
Speaker 3: Broad and Josh Smiley. So Richmond pretty much took their
Speaker 3: VFL squad plus a couple of extras and the Weagles,
Speaker 3: the Mighty Weagles who dominated this affair look like flag
Speaker 3: bound favorites here fans, but they were missing the goat,
Speaker 3: Harley Reed, Jeremy McGovern, Ryan Marritch, who according to Ryan Daniel,
Speaker 3: was they and Eliza Riley over the West. I think
Speaker 3: they think that they favored them in, like Ryan Marrich
Speaker 3: didn't get that go over the SPP guys that were playing,
Speaker 3: and then Melbourne just go snake Snake one of those
Speaker 3: guys right off our hands signing the SPP selection there
Speaker 3: as well. So any players that you guys want to
Speaker 3: touch on in this game. I think the big one
Speaker 3: just Sam Lawler getting a fractured jaw was announced today.
Speaker 3: So two hundred and three, the number one pick in
Speaker 3: the draft, he's going to be missing at least the
Speaker 3: first round.
Speaker 1: You'd imagine racing the clock is that it wasn't going
Speaker 1: to be able to play in that next Packs match anyway,
Speaker 1: given the concussion as well. But this now puts him
Speaker 1: in doubt for that opening round one game against the Blues,
Speaker 1: but haven't officially ruled him out yet. But oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have thought that'd take to me risk with
Speaker 1: their price pick.
Speaker 2: All right, well let's throw it to the man who
Speaker 2: took some of the stats. What do we got? What
Speaker 2: do we got? Stood out?
Speaker 3: In mind, this was three periods of play as well,
Speaker 3: so it was only twenty five flat I think three periods,
Speaker 3: so not a full game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we touched on Laila. I think maybe it
Speaker 2: helps that decision because we've got so many mid rookies
Speaker 2: that we need to pick. But he did look good.
Speaker 2: He could have had our third goal as well if
Speaker 2: he didn't get that bumped from Jimbi, So I don't
Speaker 2: know what sort of score he could have got, but
Speaker 2: it could have been pretty decent for three quarters. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Elijah Heuert, I know he's quite highly owned.
Speaker 2: He had a mid forward role, so I think it
Speaker 2: was the third banana in the cbas behind Dugan and Graham,
Speaker 2: which is great to see. And he kicked an opening
Speaker 2: goal in the first quarter, so it was great to
Speaker 2: see that he was playing mid in that mid forward
Speaker 2: role look pretty solid. I think if yeah, I think
Speaker 2: as long as he's fit, he's going to be best
Speaker 2: twenty two and I think lock him in your side.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm big. Yeah, I'm sure on his scoring,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe it could be like maybe those fifties sixties.
Speaker 2: I don't know. We will have to see, but I
Speaker 2: think at his price, he's going to make us some money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. Now he looked fantastic and yeah, I
Speaker 3: agree with Lawla. I was kind of like, I was
Speaker 3: almost like I really wouldn't have cared what he scored.
Speaker 2: His job security is just incredible.
Speaker 3: Is the number one pick, and I feel like he
Speaker 3: was playing yeah, mid ford. It didn't really the fact
Speaker 3: he's kicking nearly three goals, and I think Richmond would
Speaker 3: have kicked but maybe three goals. As a team just
Speaker 3: about they couldn't hit the scoreboard. And he's already kicking.
Speaker 3: You know, two or three of them would have kicked
Speaker 3: three of their goals. Is amazing for a young player.
Speaker 3: And I think as the season goes on, he'll probably
Speaker 3: get more mid time and I actually think he'll.
Speaker 2: Play better when there's the better brigade of bigger bodies
Speaker 2: in there to help him out. So that's a tough one.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, you you could steal if he's named,
Speaker 3: I think you could still start him, or he's just
Speaker 3: going to be a downgrade target potentially once the season started.
Speaker 3: So keep an eye out for Sammy Lawler and hopefully
Speaker 3: he recovers well from that fractured jaw spot on.
Speaker 2: So the next guy, Maddy Flynn. He's been in the
Speaker 2: few sides I think early on, you know, being at
Speaker 2: that price tag as a ruck or whether you want
Speaker 2: to put him in as a flex. He did look
Speaker 2: pretty good at the start, you know, quite a few hitouts.
Speaker 2: I was taking the stats. He did give away two
Speaker 2: frees in the ruck in the first quarter, so but
Speaker 2: I think, you know, as a ruck that's you know,
Speaker 2: that sort of what happens. But he played two periods
Speaker 2: and then he went off with a saw backed and
Speaker 2: Bailey Williams I think came in on the third period.
Speaker 2: So yeah, again, this is probably sort of the thing
Speaker 2: that we're worried about with Flynn is the injury history
Speaker 2: and just whether we can we can pick him doesn't
Speaker 2: give us a heap of confidence.
Speaker 3: I just got to keep an eye for news on
Speaker 3: that one for Matt Flynn. But he was basically as
Speaker 3: you're at to your point. I was watching him, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I know he's not versing like Nank wasn't there. It
Speaker 3: was he was rocking against the Richmond's backup, but he
Speaker 3: was so much bigger than him as well, and he's
Speaker 3: just he's just.
Speaker 2: He looked solid. He looked like a guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah I'm willing to pay two hundred and fifty k
Speaker 3: for I was like, yeah, lock him in. And then
Speaker 3: by the third period it's like, yeah, he's off with
Speaker 3: us all back, so.
Speaker 2: Take him back out. But again.
Speaker 1: Three period, Yeah, an injury prone guy, but also that
Speaker 1: he might say, oh I've got a really really really
Speaker 1: minus get off.
Speaker 3: That's what he did look frustrated though, according to Eliza
Speaker 3: Riley's reporting, So that to me, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: you wouldn't get super super frustrated if you're just like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's just a niggle frustrating for us, it is. I
Speaker 3: quite liked the look of Liam Baker as well for
Speaker 3: West Coast and the one for me that sort of
Speaker 3: stood out as a potential option. As I said, Richmond
Speaker 3: were missing everyone basically but Jacob Bly at two hundred
Speaker 3: and forty six K. We know that he could score
Speaker 3: in the waffle, averaged over a ton in the waffle,
Speaker 3: which isn't an easy competition to score well in. I
Speaker 3: thought Jacob blit looked pretty good and I think he
Speaker 3: had some pretty good numbers if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, obviously with those outs at
Speaker 2: the Tigers short and fluster and he was pretty much
Speaker 2: that guy that was getting those some plus six is
Speaker 2: obviously he's a pretty tall key position player as well,
Speaker 2: but he was getting yess like some of those plus
Speaker 2: sixers around there. So yeah, as you said, plenty of
Speaker 2: footed down there. Banks and Caleb Smith with the other
Speaker 2: two which are pretty cheap as well, and those guys
Speaker 2: were the ones that were taking out of the back line.
Speaker 2: But yeah, two forty six K just I think just
Speaker 2: that awkward price, but one to watch. I feel like
Speaker 2: there's a couple of cheaper guys we might want to
Speaker 2: go about D five, D six, But yeah, if there's
Speaker 2: going to be plenty of ball down at the Tigers,
Speaker 2: then yeah it's one to watch. We know how.
Speaker 1: Important intercept possessions are for super coach scoring and that's
Speaker 1: one of his strengths coming out of the waffle. Then
Speaker 1: even in the three he played three games last year
Speaker 1: in the seniors for the Tigers. His final two games
Speaker 1: eighty six and sixty super coach wise combine eleven intercepts
Speaker 1: and twelve marks there, which sort of mirrored his VFL
Speaker 1: numbers last year at the Tigers finished the year one
Speaker 1: hundred and six super coach points and ten intercept possessions
Speaker 1: per game. So they are some good numbers from Jacob Plite.
Speaker 1: So again, it's going to be down there. He knows
Speaker 1: how to win the ball back off the opposition. You'll
Speaker 1: get a lot of answers, so you know he could
Speaker 1: be worth paying up for if you you might need
Speaker 1: to restructure. Depending on El Hawley's Riley bise, we might
Speaker 1: not get those rookies in defense, so maybe do you
Speaker 1: do spend up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like some of the confidence coming out.
Speaker 3: He's been part of a lot of the Richmond social media,
Speaker 3: which I actually usually like a bit of social media rankings.
Speaker 3: In terms of if a player is featuring a lot
Speaker 3: in their socials, generally they've got a plan for them
Speaker 3: to be in the team during the year, is what
Speaker 3: I generally like, unless you're Cooper Hamilton, but usually I
Speaker 3: think they've got a general plan for you. And Jacob
Speaker 3: Blight has just mentioned he's got a lot of he
Speaker 3: said himself, he's got a lot of self belief that
Speaker 3: he is going to try and you know that he's
Speaker 3: going to try and make an impact this year and
Speaker 3: that his goal is to play a lot of senior
Speaker 3: footy this year as well. So I'm kind of bullish
Speaker 3: on on how Jacob Blight, despite the price tag, twenty
Speaker 3: three years old, mature body back there for the Tigers.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe mops up some of that some of
Speaker 3: those possession that we're hoping go you know, some coaches
Speaker 3: I hoping goes straight to Jayden Short, so that is
Speaker 3: where I'm thinking.
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty high on him.
Speaker 3: But maybe the last couple of players we can talk
Speaker 3: about is some other players maybe making their way into
Speaker 3: the rookie bible. Abo Allen, who's one of the most
Speaker 3: popular picks in Super Coach fans. He looked alright back there,
Speaker 3: look here, man, I don't know, yeah, Jacob Smith.
Speaker 2: Don't know how you.
Speaker 3: Look compared to Jacob No, you know, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to be that person that compares him all the time.
Speaker 3: He looked pretty good for the West Coast Eagles, and
Speaker 3: I think job security again should be there early if
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to be composed like he
Speaker 3: was on the weekend. One other player, though, Jack Hutchinson,
Speaker 3: we talk about awkward price tags to thirty three point five.
Speaker 3: K Forward looks to be in a bit of a
Speaker 3: wing slash mid role, and he did play inside mid
Speaker 3: towards the end of last year. I think it's more
Speaker 3: that he's been pushed down to the wing. But he's
Speaker 3: got a lot of speed, explosive player, so I think
Speaker 3: that could be actually where they're looking to play in
Speaker 3: this season.
Speaker 2: Fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, against the Cats had him in my team that
Speaker 1: week on field, got me some big important wins. At
Speaker 1: the end of the one hundred and two super coach
Speaker 1: points sixteen contested possessions. He had that day playing on
Speaker 1: the inside down at the category when the Eagles got spanks.
Speaker 1: So showed he can do it. Showed he can do it.
Speaker 1: So I don't mind it too. Would like to see
Speaker 1: it again, give us some full stats and numbers in
Speaker 1: the proper Community series game. But definitely one who's made
Speaker 1: it onto the watch list again. A crowded forward line
Speaker 1: we know in terms of the mid prices and the
Speaker 1: bargain options available, but definitely onto the watch list.
Speaker 2: Geelong Hawks.
Speaker 3: I think it's time to touch on the final game
Speaker 3: of the round of the round.
Speaker 1: So far that before yeah, before that's been on that
Speaker 1: time recording at the time.
Speaker 3: Any more to come this week, plenty more. There was
Speaker 3: a few out of this one as well. Tom barrass
Speaker 3: is probably the main one for the Hawks there along
Speaker 3: with Massimo the Ambrosio concussion there and then for the
Speaker 3: Cats there was no Toby Conway, Cam Guthrie, Laws and
Speaker 3: Humphrees and Jack Martin were some of the notable absentees.
Speaker 3: Bas Lenka, I think he showed enough. Lads, think he
Speaker 3: showed it.
Speaker 2: Did he have ten in the first quarter?
Speaker 3: He had plenty of the bill. One of the reporters,
Speaker 3: Matt Forrest fans saying he went at forty four percent
Speaker 3: efficiency though by the end of the game.
Speaker 2: But still he's racking up the pill. He's done that
Speaker 2: a bit before.
Speaker 1: That's not overly new with Bailey Smith, even when he's
Speaker 1: fully up and going back at the dogs. So I
Speaker 1: think just seeing him hit the ground running in his
Speaker 1: first game in a long time, I think that's all
Speaker 1: we need to see with him. So, as you said,
Speaker 1: I think on the overreactions post on X, don't overthink it.
Speaker 2: I do think that Bailey Smith was just the cbas. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I thought maybe he'd be a bit more inside. Obviously
Speaker 2: he's had the five cbas obviously only played the half
Speaker 2: the game there, but still wondering his role. Obviously there's
Speaker 2: the wing inside forward. I think, yeah, I'm in preseason
Speaker 2: I thought maybe he would be that full time mid
Speaker 2: so but yeah, at his price, you can't really say
Speaker 2: no to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and could be giving a go at the
Speaker 3: moment to guy to a guy like Mitch Nevert who
Speaker 3: is on our rookie radar fans as well, and the
Speaker 3: Lair's friend of the Lad Batten all Over a big fan.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Mitch Nevertt was one that did impress at
Speaker 3: one forty nine K. Keep him in your plans and
Speaker 3: hopefully he gets a game early. So playing as sort
Speaker 3: of that inside mid as well for the Cats. So smooth,
Speaker 3: murther tall. I think he's over one ninety centimeters. Looked
Speaker 3: really good there, did a chase down, beautiful chase down
Speaker 3: tackle on will Day, but then did turn it over
Speaker 3: in the corridor shortly after that, but looking looked good anyway.
Speaker 3: Mitch Nevert and talking about will Day, My goodness, he
Speaker 3: was amazing for ninety one K. I got to say,
Speaker 3: I forgot about last year. Must have put it out
Speaker 3: of my mind, because he's straight back in for me now, fans,
Speaker 3: I can't move him out of my team. I don't
Speaker 3: care about the early buyer, I don't care about anything.
Speaker 3: I'm moving heaven and Earth will Day, the overreaction on him.
Speaker 3: He just looks incredible. And that patch in the middle
Speaker 3: of the season last year where he really put it
Speaker 3: all together, I think we're going to see that early
Speaker 3: in the season last year the key for me.
Speaker 1: We discussed it last show was about you know what
Speaker 1: Hawthorne want to do with will Day forward to the
Speaker 1: ball and people worried or was he going to play
Speaker 1: forward more? But he even said too that he you know,
Speaker 1: that's what the great midfielders do. They get forward and
Speaker 1: hit the scoreboard and that's what he wants to do.
Speaker 1: And that's what he did against the Cats, kick three
Speaker 1: goals from the midfield and that's the key for me.
Speaker 2: So that's what Dave as he went off too.
Speaker 1: That's what's going to take him to another level in
Speaker 1: super coach as well as consistency in his form and
Speaker 1: his body too, which I haven't seen yet.
Speaker 2: I saw you put the captaincy on him as well.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the captain c's yeah, early early days next year.
Speaker 2: Know that might have been.
Speaker 1: That might have been there fart, but that might have
Speaker 1: been the post that you sourced inspiration from elsewhere.
Speaker 6: On All right, okay, sorry Tim if you're listening there, player, though,
Speaker 6: we need to talk about from the other the other
Speaker 6: team three sixty one k You sort of mentioned him
Speaker 6: a little bit off the top of you said it.
Speaker 3: You've swapped him out of your team though, Jordan. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about Sam to Conning, also known as Superior to Conning.
Speaker 2: Yes, obviously played in the ruck and started in the ruck,
Speaker 2: but then how to a bit is split a time
Speaker 2: with Blitz and Stanley, and I'm just I understand Conway
Speaker 2: is out, but I'm still yeah, I just I guess
Speaker 2: probably want to see a bit more. There's a few
Speaker 2: tweets today on free co a bit of there's been
Speaker 2: a bit of hype that he will be while he's
Speaker 2: in training there all pre season. But yeah, it does
Speaker 2: have that early buy as well. I just found a
Speaker 2: bit of extra coin and went him up to mckirche.
Speaker 2: I feel like it could be a bit safer just
Speaker 2: because of the split of the ruck time, butts, we
Speaker 2: do get to see him in opening rounds, so if
Speaker 2: I see him full time rock, he will be back
Speaker 2: in my side in no time. Now.
Speaker 3: Speaking of fantasy Frico, he's got some stats to complement
Speaker 3: the will Day take from just before as well. From
Speaker 3: round ten to twenty last year, will Day twenty three
Speaker 3: point six disposals, nine point four contested, four inside fifty
Speaker 3: six tackles, one hundred and fourteen super coach in that
Speaker 3: middle of the season that I was talking about four
Speaker 3: wheel day and he's under five hundred K, so shout
Speaker 3: out to Fantasy Freco. We know he's an avid listener.
Speaker 3: We've also got Sam de Conning stats from the Great
Speaker 3: Man Fantasy Freco. Sam de Konigs club ranking in his
Speaker 3: time as a ruck last year, which was rounds fifteen
Speaker 3: to nineteen, first in handballs and clearances, second in contested positions,
Speaker 3: third in handball receives, fourth in disposals, and he averaged
Speaker 3: ninety five super Coach points. He also goes on to
Speaker 3: say he's a big fan. He's done a double tweet
Speaker 3: for Sam de Conning. I think he might be in
Speaker 3: the Free Coos team at the moment. Disposals per game
Speaker 3: by rucks from rounds fifteen to nineteen as well when
Speaker 3: do Coning was playing there the most among ruckman twenty
Speaker 3: point eight disposals, ahead of Rowan Marshall at twenty and
Speaker 3: then it goes Nank, Grundy and Cherry, So good numbers.
Speaker 3: When Sammy de Conning's in there, you know he certainly
Speaker 3: can get the job done. It's just as Jordan. To
Speaker 3: Jordan's point, how much does he play in the actual
Speaker 3: ruck position.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we see it opening around, he will be
Speaker 2: straight in because at his price and to go ninety five,
Speaker 2: as you said, I think that's the massive huge. Any
Speaker 2: other players you want to touch on their fence, I think.
Speaker 1: We've covered a few cover good rap. Good to have
Speaker 1: some footy back. We've been talking about it for a while.
Speaker 2: It's fine. They're good to see it out there.
Speaker 1: We can actually really start working on our sides and
Speaker 1: working out that final watch list we're going to players
Speaker 1: are going to be tracking and what we need to see.
Speaker 1: It's not always how much, but just what we need
Speaker 1: to see in the community series game and the rest
Speaker 1: of the practice matches perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great wrap. Thanks Jordan for joining
Speaker 3: us as well. If you want any track Watcher notes
