I just can't believe that Peter's chosen has 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: gone on holiday with Cane Corns instead of being in 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: the studio with us. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: They're going to watch a game, They're analyzing each other's 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: columns and riding in the last little while. 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: Happy to be back. Thanks for having me again. 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: You're the media writer. A a bit of a question 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: with it, warning do you watch many of the footy 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: shows that are on during the week. 16 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: I would say that my consumption of the midweek magazine 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: shows are usually through social media. 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: We got a lot of people might be like that, Yeah, 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: there's not much point. 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: It seems quite reactive at this point, like you know, 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: they'll say something, the media will react and then you 22 00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: know that's how you sort. 23 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Of yeah, it's I used to watch a few of them, 24 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: but I find there's no need to win. The actual 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: accounts given out. 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: I find the ratings of them, just to sort. 27 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Of see which one is winning at the moment. 28 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: I think from memory, nine is just hopping seven. But 29 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: you've got to keep minds it's the first year show 30 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: for seven, so it would probably take some time. 31 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: Yes, the Sat Again Nines. 32 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: Disclosure that this mast head is owned by nine Entertainment. 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: But we we beck your integrity and your judgment. I 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: go to the leaderboard. Not much changed last week. The 35 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: going rate was five. I think most people if you 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: tip five, you aren't going to lose any ground. If 37 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: you tip four, well, you're going to go backwards. And 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: I think most of us tip five. So Michael Gleason 39 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: is still in the lead on seventy four. Pete's on 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: seventy three. It's probably why he's taken a bit of 41 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: a week off. I think his last month has been 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: a bit patchy. He's been thinking a four. So did 43 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: you get a four? No? I think you got five? 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: He got five? Right, you got five? Us all you're 45 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: on your third on the podium seventy two, Jakes on 46 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: seventy one, Jimmy Bartell on seventy on along way Back 47 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: sixty nine. Now a quick question, how are you going 48 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: in the office Tipping this year? 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: I started pretty slowly, but I'm like right on the 50 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: precipice of the top five now pretty happy. I'm pretty 51 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: happy where I'm placed. The attentions off me this year, 52 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: which is good. Last year I read led from round 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: one to round twenty four, so I'm right where I 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: want to be. Like I am in this competition here. 55 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: I need to read the rules as to how you 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: qualify for coming back next year, whether you have to 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: win this one. And even let's say you finished seven 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: eighth in the Office Tipping one. 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: I think that's not thing too much as let's just 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: you know, proceed as though I'm here for years to come. 61 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: It'd be doing the Tottenham within the league, which keeps 62 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: you in there even though you're finish. Okay, first game 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: of the round and it's a cracker as well. Thursday 64 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: night Western Bulldogs against harthor On at Marvel Stadium. You 65 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: think at the moment the Dogs are going better than 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the Hawks, but the Dogs are actually out of the eight, 67 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: mainly because they've got a game in hand, but both 68 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: teams they need a scalp. I've had a little top eight. 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: The performances against the top eight. Hawks are one and 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: four and the Dogs are one in five, So there's 71 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: that influence you're tipping at all and your confidence levels. 72 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: I feel like this is one of these weird games 73 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: where the Hawks you feel like they're having a much 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: worse season than they are, and the Dogs, if you 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: sort of like got a bit of a like just 76 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: on the eye check, you'd think that they're one of 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: the best teams in the comp But like looking at 78 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: the ladder today, I was shocked to see that Freo 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: and the Dogs have got the same record this year. 80 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Well, the Dogs are out of the eight. I mean 81 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: the game in handy in a row. I think no, 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: they well they had to buy last week, which is 83 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: the main reason why they're out of there. But it's 84 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: still a little bit uncomfortable if you're a Dog supporter, 85 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: I reckon, you're six and five, you've played good footy, 86 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: you're still out of the eight. 87 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: I'm just going to say that despite the many formed 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: dep I think Cicily coming out. Whether or not you 89 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: think that's a good or a bad thing as a 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: Hawks fan, but I like the Dogs to win this one. 91 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, on with you. I think I'll watched the Hawks 92 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: last week and they're a long way off it against 93 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: the top teams. Sam Mitchell put it on the agenda 94 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: right at the start of the year even when they 95 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: were winning, that the mechanics in their game they weren't 96 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: in good shape and he's been proven right in the 97 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: last well last two months really. I think They're only 98 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: three wins have been against Richmond West Coast and Melbourne 99 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: who had kicked six goals third a and at three 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: quarter time, so they won that off one quarter. So 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: they're in a little bit of an issue. I mean, 102 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: we all thought at the start of the season, because 103 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: they finished so well last year, that they'd be one 104 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: of the main contenders. I'm not jumping off them yet 105 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: because their best is still very good, but they haven't 106 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: shown it for a little while and it's going to 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: be hard against the Dogs, especially if they don't get 108 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: their tackles up. They only had thirty eight last week. 109 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did think that the Dogs their last time 110 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: out against Geelong, that sort of classic high scoring game 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: down at Continua Park. Was sort of shocked that there's 112 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: their staying power, Like every time you felt that the 113 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: Cats are going to pull away, they just managed to 114 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: hit back with some pretty direct footy and I think 115 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: put about one hundred and ten points up on the scoreboys. 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: Was a weird sort of game, wasn't it. Yeah, both 117 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: times attacked. I don't think coaches like that kind of 118 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: footy when when it's good to watch shoot that. I 119 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: prefer the lowest scoring games. I know people would normally 120 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: jump on me, but I think high scoring game a 121 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: kind of like T twenty cricket in footy because both 122 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: teams attack, there's no defending, and when it's like that, 123 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: it's not really a contest. But that said, I think 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: the Dog's form has been better than Hawthorne. They've been 125 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: competitive in their losses against the top eight teams. The 126 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: Hawks haven't, especially in the last two weeks. And unless 127 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: they lay stick more tackles, the Dogs are going to 128 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: slice through them like butter. So I'm tipping the Dogs. 129 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: You got a margin twelve two goals, two goals, Okay, 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm tipping sixteen points. I think will be a good 131 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: game Friday night footy, and this is another classic as well. 132 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: We hope it will be Adelaide against the Brisbane lines 133 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: at Adelaide Oval. The Crows. There another side that needs 134 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: to improve their record against the top eight teams. They're 135 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: one and four against the Lions, who have been there. 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: There faults this year have been against the lower teams. 137 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: It's kind of like therefore and one against top eight. 138 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: I've got this theory that the lines just can't get 139 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: themselves up for the lesser games that drew with North Melbourne. 140 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: They lost to Melbourne and then they had a scare 141 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: against Essendon. 142 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, after leading by five goals at quarter time. So 143 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: they're an interesting watch because I don't think they're at 144 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: their best. The Crows. I mean, they can't be more impressive, 145 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: can they. Yeah, I a beilt a team. 146 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: You mentioned their record against top sides, but I think 147 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: they've only lost one game at home this season, which 148 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: was against Geelong. I think off a five day break 149 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: is yeah, So I think they're pretty good at home. 150 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: They're such good scorers. They've got a pretty stacked forward 151 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: line at the moment. But I do feel like they've 152 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: let me down this year when I have tipped them. 153 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: I feel like I've tipped them every week. But you 154 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: know that's still on the balance a good record, but yeah, 155 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: I'm going for Adelaide. 156 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: And home greand affected, but that's. 157 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: The decide of me. Yeah, and Brisbane's sort of shaky. 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: Form, I'm tipping the lines. I mean partially. It's I 159 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: need to declare that my position and on the ladder 160 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: is a factor here. I need to start making up 161 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: some numbers. And if you're gonna go for an underdog, 162 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: I think the reigning premiers who are second on the 163 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: ladder is as good as any to to try and 164 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: climb back up the ladder on And I still like Brisbane. 165 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're at their absolute best, but their 166 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: record against the best has been has been very good. 167 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: And this one, this will be the sort of game 168 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: they get up for on the road against a top team. 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: I think they want to make a statement. I don't 170 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: reckon Chris Fagan would be too happy with their performance 171 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: last week behind closed doors, No, because they gave us 172 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: a chance. Not that I ever thought that they would lose, 173 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: but I think Chris Fagan would want that sort of 174 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: ruthlessness back in the lines. But they're gonna have to 175 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: play well this week. On tipping them by I think 176 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,119 Speaker 1: they will three points, two points. What's going to be okay, 177 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: very good. Next game another tricky one, Saturday afternoon at 178 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: the mcg Richmond against last year's Grand finalist, the Sydney Swan's, 179 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: who have been nothing short of dreadful in the last 180 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: little bit, and you're going to tip an up set? 181 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: A little Birdie tells. 182 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Me, yeah, well, I just don't think Sydney deserve a 183 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: tip after what was it the Rebels performance? Are we 184 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: allowed to say that? 185 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: I need to apologize? 186 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: I think Richmond, like that was a pretty tough loss 187 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: on on Saturday against the Giants. You know, they like 188 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: put in a pretty good shift. I think they'll be 189 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: pretty fired up to get. 190 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: Put in very good three quarters. 191 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: But I mean it was a similar story on Sundays 192 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: Long versus West Coast. You know, the better team just 193 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: sort of outlasted the sort of scrappy underdog. But I 194 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: think against significantly worse opposition from the other team in 195 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: Sydney this week, I fancy Richmond to just pip this. 196 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: Well, that's bold, that's a very bold tip, and that 197 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: gives you an idea as to how far the Swans 198 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: are falling this year. Because the year's gone by, you 199 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: wouldn't even beat Niley. You tip Sydney in a game 200 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: like this but I do know Richmond beat Sydney last 201 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: year is one of the oddest results last season they 202 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: were the only team that beat Sydney in the first, oh, 203 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: first two or three months of the season. Noah Bolter 204 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: comes back in after not being able to play last 205 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: week because of the curfew. I think he'll be a 206 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: big addition for the Tigers. But the Swans, I mean, 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: they just they have to win. After the week they 208 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: had the words that were said by Adelaide, the words 209 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: that would have been said by their coach. It would 210 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: have been a hard review if they were to lose 211 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: to Richmond. Where do you go from there? 212 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 2: The only way is up, you would think for last 213 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: year's Grand finalists, but you never know. 214 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: There's seasons on the log they lose that it becomes 215 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: they're in a mathematical territory to make the finals. Callum 216 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Mills coming back after suspension will be important for the Swans, 217 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: who still got a lot out through injuries. But yeah, 218 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: I'll tip the Swans only because it's they're up against 219 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: one of the bottom teams. I think Sydney, still at 220 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: their best, are better than Richmond. 221 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: Well to flip that, I think you could say I'm 222 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: tipping Richmond because they're up against one of the bottom teams, so. 223 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: I tip of the Swans, but there's there's not very 224 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: high confidence. 225 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: Next game your what was your margin? 226 00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: Two goals? 227 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 2: The Swan's one goal for me? 228 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: Oh nervous. 229 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 230 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: A few games this around a lot of close ones. 231 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: We're tipping a lot of close ones. The next one 232 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: down the highway, Geelong, your Mighty Cats a against Gold 233 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: Coast at a GMHBA Stadium, a venue where the Suns 234 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: have never beaten Geelong in seven attempts. Do you think 235 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: this will be the day they. 236 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: I don't think, Beck. I mean you sort of point 237 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: to the loss against the Giants a few weeks ago, 238 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: which increasingly looks like an outlier in Geelong's form, But 239 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: you know that, I think one of the biggest stories 240 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: going into that game was the giants good record at 241 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: Virginia Park. I just think the Cats are looking like 242 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: they're a pretty well old machine at the moment. Jeremy 243 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: Cameron's in sort of some of the best form. Four 244 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: goals well, he's kicked I think at eighteen or seventeen 245 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: or eighteen in the last three games. 246 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: He's leading the Colvin medal, which is good for the 247 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: mind team that draft at the start of the year. 248 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: And you know, aside from I think the Giants and Brisbane, 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: geelongs won most of its top eight matchups this year 250 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: and add to that, gold Coast work useless last week. 251 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: So this is my lock. 252 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: That's extraordinary. Pattie Daingerfield back as well. 253 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: The lock that's well it worked out well last time. 254 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: So well that's that was an extraordinary look the last 255 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: time when you tipped along to beat Adelaide in Adelaide 256 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: because the lock tends to be tend to be a 257 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: bit of a moors in this in the way we 258 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: do it. But I like your boldness, especially putting the 259 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: moors on your own team. Gold Coast last week, well 260 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: they made three man a three man. All were very 261 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: good gold Coast probably, I mean in the wet they 262 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: still had a decent crack at the end and it 263 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: came down to that one, that last tackle by shape Bolton, 264 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: because I could have seen gold Coast taking the ball 265 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: at the other end. This is a huge game, I 266 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: mean from a from a ladder perspective, gold Coaster in 267 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the top four. Now Geelong want to get the spot 268 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: and at the end of the season. This could be 269 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: one of those games where you look back on and 270 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: think that that's where the top four spot was won 271 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: and lost. I'm thinking Geelong only because they're playing at 272 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: home where they're still very hard to beat, and Gold 273 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Coast I still want to see. I respect them, but 274 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I still want to see if they can claim a 275 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: major scalp on their road and I think Geelong, if 276 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: they could do that win at Geelong they probably have 277 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: about fifteen supporters they're watching, that would be an extraordinary result. 278 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: But I think the Cats by a goal. For me. 279 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: What about you? You're going to tip a big margin one? Yes, 280 00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: that's a confident man. We're online all the time. Just 281 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: search age Real Footy on Facebook or Twitter. Okay, next 282 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: game Saturday night forty right Western Sydney against Paul Adelaide 283 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: at Manica, and I believe you're going to be I 284 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: am one of the us in the. 285 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: Crowd twelve layers or something up there, such my second 286 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: game with the Round. I'm going to Marvel Stadium tomorrow night. 287 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: You're a helicopter from Geelong. 288 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: Camera sadly not I would if if I had the 289 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: financial capability of that. I think this is going to 290 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: be pretty straightforward for the Giants. One of the in 291 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: my view, one of the most sure tips of the week, 292 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: although I've probably just skewed myself by saying that Giants 293 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: have won I think four of their last five in Canberra, 294 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: that lost being to Brisbane earlier year. I know, maybe 295 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: to the Bulldogs. I think, to quote Callen Ward's semi 296 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: inspiring third quarter pump up, there's no need to do 297 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: anything extraordinary for the Giants. 298 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: The content of that speech wasn't actually all that inspiring. 299 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Was it was a play or role? 300 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was pretty straightforward. I thought it 301 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: was actually, you know, and the response from the players 302 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: was not very enthusiastic either, but you know it was. 303 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: It was the gesture. Wasn't the symbolism of one of 304 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: your club legends at a moment of great personal distress, 305 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: putting aside all his heartache for the betterment of the club. 306 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: I think that was the symbolism would have been most inspiring. 307 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: Came I ready to run through a paper wall for him. 308 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to save someone off by saying, boys, I 309 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: want to sing the song for one last time to 310 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: get it done, which they did anyway. It's a mark 311 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: of high how highly callen Ward is regarded, not only 312 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: out the Giants but around the league that there's Yeah, 313 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: there's a real outpouring of emotion for them because it's 314 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: a very sad way for a great of the game 315 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: to bow out. It adds to the Giants' injuries as well. 316 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: They've got Briggs, Finn Callaghan, Steve Cannelio, Jack Stringer and 317 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: they might get Britt Daniels Britt Daniel back this week. 318 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: But there's a few players out of the out of 319 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: their best team. But I still think they'll get the 320 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: job done against Port Adelaide, who've been You thought the 321 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Swans were bad? I mean this is the giant the 322 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: port Adelaide's last month, they've lost by ninety points, five points, 323 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: seventy six points and forty nine points. 324 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not They're the sort. 325 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Of numbers that a man of slavish a wouldn't mind 326 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: or because yeah, I think port are going to struggle here, 327 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: depending on how Ken Hinckley can wind them up. Is 328 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: there anything for them to play for? Anything that they 329 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: can get themselves up for emotionally, because that's when Port 330 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: adelaid played this footy. But yeah, Canberra Saturday night. It's 331 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: five degrees. It's gonna be hard, isn't it. 332 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: Well, maybe the prospect of Ken leaving mid season is 333 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: something there. 334 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: It's just a weird dynamic Giants. For me, I'll tip 335 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: them by three goals and no, I'm not going to 336 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: make them all lock. I'll wait. I'll wait for later 337 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: in the round. 338 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this is a typo or if 339 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 2: this is my superstition's coming to play. But I've also 340 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: got it a margin of thirty one, the same as 341 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: the last game. Giants by thirty one. 342 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: Giants by three goals for me. Sunday afternoon footy and 343 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: this is we've got a new AFL venue. Hands overal 344 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: out at Bunbury, which is where North Melbourne are playing 345 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: their home game against West Coast. Makes sense to. 346 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: That it's got to be one of the most Sunday 347 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: afternoon fixtures of all time. 348 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: It should be a Sunday twilight fixture really, but I 349 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: am looking forward to saying a new venue. There's always 350 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: a bit of excitement when when you get something new 351 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: on TV. North Melbourne. Oh Jesus, is this for me 352 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: is the hardest game to tip because you'd think. I 353 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: mean North Melbourne are favorites, but they shouldn't based on 354 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: their record in the last five years. They shouldn't be 355 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: favorites in any game a little on one where they're 356 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: traveling to the other side of the country to play, 357 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: but they're playing against West Coast who are going just 358 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: as badly, and surely North Melbourne have got to get 359 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: this win. Yeah. 360 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 2: I think I said this year before the podcast, but 361 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 2: this feels like a game I just watched a few 362 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: weeks ago, but I think they might have been Richmond 363 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: versus West Coast, which actually I think turned out to 364 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: be a pretty good game. I feel like North have 365 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 2: got to win to justify the decision to host this 366 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: game in West Australia. 367 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: I just want like cash, honest, it would be a 368 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: bonus for them. But because if this game was played 369 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: let's say at bell Rave or or in Melbourne, you'd 370 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: be very comfortable tipping North Melbourne. But this added factor 371 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: of travel makes me very very nervous. 372 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: But I think that's the only factor that's sort of, 373 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: you know, sort of weighing it up a little bit. 374 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 2: I mean West Coast were pretty good again for three 375 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: quarters against Geelong and they were. 376 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean they won the week before and came very 377 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: close to Benning Richmond in Melbourne the week before that, 378 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: So their last month they have improved. I think most 379 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: bottom teams generally have a good month here and there 380 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: during the season. Last month has been that for West Coast. 381 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: But I give them a really good chance debout North 382 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: only because you can't be confident with North Melbourne when 383 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: they've won what sixteen games out of one hundred and 384 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: twenty or whatever that is since COVID. So I'm she's 385 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: very reluctantly tipping North Melbourne. 386 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 2: But yeah, me too. North Melbourne two points, another close one, 387 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: but I reckon they'll get over the line. 388 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: Could you see a draw win? We need Libby Birch 389 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: actually just just to call in to pump us up 390 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: and get us more confidences to Northlone would win because 391 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: she will, no doubt tip the Kangaroos again. Actually shout 392 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: out to her because she she I think won the 393 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: round last week. She tipped Saint Kilda after copying a 394 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: little bit of grief from Peter next there you go. Yeah, 395 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: so good effort by her. I think North Melbourne I'm 396 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: going to say by one point. But if this was 397 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: a draw. I would not be surprised. Next game, the 398 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: blockbuster King's Birthday Eve, Carlton against Essen And at the 399 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: MCG two of the giants of the AFL whose last 400 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: twenty years have been far from befitting that status. Carlton 401 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: going into this game warm favorites, but I guess it 402 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: sort of falls into that North Melbourne category. How can 403 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: you be confident? 404 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: I mean I would argue that you couldn't be confident 405 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 2: tipping either of these teams. And I think that's what's 406 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: sort of swaying my decision today. I mean, Carlton's sort 407 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: of mini recovery seems to be over somewhat. I mean, 408 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: those wins, aside from Geelong, came against probably a handful 409 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: of the worst teams in the competition. I think it 410 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 2: sink Kilda North and West Coast Essendon. Meanwhile, I've you know, 411 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: sort of got a bit of a catfished winning record. 412 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: I think just the eye test, that just don't look 413 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: like a very good team, and you know, the sort 414 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: of I think the messaging around the club, you wouldn't 415 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 2: think that they're a team that's sort of pushing on 416 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: the pushing on the eight. 417 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: But they're actually just outside of the don't they six 418 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: and six? I think, yeah, they win, they'll be seven 419 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: to five. I mean, any supporter would have taken that 420 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: start of the year. 421 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I mean. That's why it's a catfish. 422 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: Is anyone talking about Essenton as a good team. 423 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: No, but they are predictable in the sense that they 424 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: beat the teams below them and they generally fall well 425 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: short of the teams above them. Now where do Carlton sit. 426 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: They're probably thereabouts around that Essendon marke. They probably should 427 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: be a bit more developed than the Bombers. But Carlton's best, 428 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: which we haven't seen much of other than that's a 429 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: long game. They seem to play well for about two 430 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: and a half quarters and then somehow find a way 431 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: and fall away and lose by two or three goals. 432 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: It's generally been the way they've played in the last 433 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: twelve months really, so it doesn't inspire much confidence. But 434 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean Essenon, where I think Carlton can win this 435 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: week is Essenon's lack of key defenders. A lot's been 436 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: said about the injury list, but I think mainly it's 437 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: this one area of the ground and the same type 438 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: of play the key defenders and the tour players one 439 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety centimeters and over. But I reckon if 440 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: you went through their list, they've probably got about six 441 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: or seven of their best team outs, so it's overplayed little. 442 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: But I think Carlton this week that I mean with 443 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: Charlie Kerno Harry McKay, they've got the players who can 444 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: capitalize on Essendon's lack of tall defenders and I think 445 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: they'll get the job done. But there's not much confidence. 446 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: How can you be confident? 447 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: No, this is yeah, I think I tip Carson with 448 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: not much confidence. I am going three goals just because 449 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: I just think if they're going to win. I don't 450 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 2: think it's going to be a super close contest, but no, 451 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: both I think it will be. 452 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: It'll be one of the in the center in terms 453 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: of who can win the contest and the clearance because 454 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: both teams have been pretty good at that. They don't 455 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: quite have the other side of the game to them 456 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: just yet, which probably explains why they're the middle of 457 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: the table. But I think Carlton need to win, need 458 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: to save their season, and this one will give their 459 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: supporters a little bit of probably false hope anyway, but 460 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: I think they'll get up ten points. Final game of 461 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: the round, the Big Freeze at the MCG Melbourne against Collingwood. 462 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 1: One of the marquee fixtures of the year. I love 463 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: this game because of the the great work done by 464 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: Neil danaher to raise the awareness of mode and your 465 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: own disease. He's done a magnificent job, Neil Danna the 466 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: Australian of the year as well. Which way are you 467 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: going in this game? Well? 468 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: I was interested to see sink Kilda put a bit 469 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: of a big freeze on Melbourne's little run of form 470 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: on Sunday. I just think again their form was a 471 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: bit of a ruse. The win against Brisbane I think 472 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 2: was one of those outlier results which he probably can't 473 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 2: read too much into. Colin would look pretty untouchable at 474 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: the moment. I think this is again one of the 475 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: easier tips of the round. 476 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anyone would be tipping Melbourne. It 477 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: would be a bit of a Yahoo tip given that, yeah, 478 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: calling at the top of the ladder and Melbourne have 479 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: been largely bottom six material this year. They were so 480 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: disappointing with they imagine being a Melbourne supporter last week 481 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: thinking oh, here's their chance to break even in the season. 482 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: We got so killed. We were in good form. If 483 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: we win here, we're a real chance to make the 484 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: eighth And then they kicked seven goals twenty one. Yeah, 485 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: that was an exasperating. 486 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: I tuned in for most of the second half and 487 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 2: I just could not believe some of the spray shots 488 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: the D's were coming up with, just as they looked 489 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: like they could maybe get their footback in the game, 490 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: but they just yeah, they just could not kick straight. 491 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: So look, I don't know. I think their season four 492 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: so far, barring a couple of alright wins, I just 493 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 2: think that they're not anywhere near good enough to be 494 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: confident in tipping them against the premiership leaders. 495 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're making ground though Melbourne, I think they're much 496 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: better than the side they've shown and they played the 497 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: first month of the year. I think Cottie Pickt's massive 498 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: for them. He didn't have a great game last week, 499 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: but he needs to be close to best on ground 500 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: if they're going to beat Collingwood. They've got a few 501 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: injuries Lockie Schultz, Lipinski and Mainard out of their best team. 502 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I think mixed day might be a chance to get back, 503 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: but the Pies have got the wood over the days. 504 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: They have won ten of the last twelve. Even when 505 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: they're kind of not at their best, the Pies still 506 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: find a way, and they were excellent last week that 507 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: they deserve flag favorites. And if you played the finals now, 508 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to be tipping any other team. So 509 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm tipping the Pies and I'm going to make them 510 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: my lock are going to win by about twenty. 511 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: Points, twenty one points for mine. 512 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: So what pies for me? For the lock? And you've got. 513 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: Uninspiring lock, I've got to say your look is Geelong. 514 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: Well, you know, you just don't want to get caught 515 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: out in these scenarios because it's most embarrassing when you 516 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: when you're declared lock falls over. It doesn't inspire confidence 517 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: among the listeners. 518 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's why I've got the listener's confidence 519 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: at this point. 520 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I feel like you're probably more in touch 521 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: with the listeners. You know, you don't follow it as 522 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: closely as everyone else. Yeah, but you give a fresh 523 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: perspective and you're doing a lot better than most of 524 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: us in the in the tipping competition, so well done 525 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: to you.
