Speaker 1: Hey, leud just welcome back to the Mason cock Show.
Speaker 1: Plenty going on in the footy world. We've got a
Speaker 1: big question mark around a head knock over the weekend.
Speaker 1: We've got West Coast wins in a thriller, an absolute thriller,
Speaker 1: and one of the greats of all time in the
Speaker 1: football world calls it a day. There's plenty on this episode,
Speaker 1: so listen in and let's get to it. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Welcome Brighton, get I Mason.
Speaker 2: We can't take one more step without saying a massive
Speaker 2: congratulations to the career of arguably the goat of the AFL,
Speaker 2: Lance Buddy Franklin, calling time what a massive career was.
Speaker 1: It is insane to run through some of the stats.
Speaker 1: Fourth leading goalkicker in AFL VFL history over a thousand goals.
Speaker 1: We know everyone knows he kicked a thousand thousandth goal recently,
Speaker 1: and a crazy, crazy experience, probably the last time you'll
Speaker 1: ever see a field stormed insane experience. It's picked five
Speaker 1: two thousand and four draft. I don't know who has
Speaker 1: picked one, two, three and four, but geez, they're probably
Speaker 1: regretting that.
Speaker 3: Richard Tambling was up there. That's pretty rough. No offense.
Speaker 1: Richard Tampling Wack. He's appeared in many A Grand Finals,
Speaker 1: I think five overall. He's won two flags and twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen ten years in Sydney in one of the trailblazers
Speaker 1: up there for the Sydney Football Club, he's won eight
Speaker 1: all Australians. He is an absolute freak of nature on
Speaker 1: the football field, an incredible human offer, a man that
Speaker 1: we have an amazing amount of respect for. Just a
Speaker 1: beautiful human someone who's been able to represent only himself
Speaker 1: with the AFL with such dignity and something we have
Speaker 1: a lot of time for now.
Speaker 2: I want to ask, what's your favorite Buddy Franklin moment,
Speaker 2: if you've had a personal one. I want to get
Speaker 2: down into that mine. Running through the g the leap frog,
Speaker 2: he does the hurdle. I think it was against Collingwood.
Speaker 2: He gets it, hurdles through the middle of the ground,
Speaker 2: kicks it from like eighty meters out. Oh, he's just
Speaker 2: he can do the impossible.
Speaker 3: Obviously.
Speaker 2: The Kale hooker ones running down the boundaries. I don't
Speaker 2: want to steal yours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the killer one will run down the boundaries.
Speaker 1: Are funny because he has the guts and the balls,
Speaker 1: so he could have easily gone inside and like, you know,
Speaker 1: you've got a better angle out. He goes, Nah, your
Speaker 1: boy's gonna kick it from the pocket and it goes
Speaker 1: through on the full. It's wild. It's just the confidence
Speaker 1: of the man was just insane. After running like a
Speaker 1: seventy to one hundred meters a run and then just
Speaker 1: he could have, you know, probably gone another ten meters
Speaker 1: and just lined it up a bit straight and he's like, nah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm good from the corner here, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make it look spectacular.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 2: He liked playing against Well. He liked playing against Essamond.
Speaker 2: He also liked kicking great goals against Collingwood. He kicked
Speaker 2: one on Chris Tarrant in the pre limb, almost put
Speaker 2: him through dribbler from the boundary run and flat out.
Speaker 2: It's just crazy. Thirteen down in Tazzy. Yeah, best thing
Speaker 2: that's ever happened to Tazzy. I reckon, Oh careful, Braden.
Speaker 2: We do love Tazzy everyone. It's a freak. It's one
Speaker 2: of those people.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, there's there's I don't know,
Speaker 1: people that transcend the sport obviously, but his body and
Speaker 1: his make and the way he played and everything was
Speaker 1: just built for AFL.
Speaker 2: You can't do what he did sixty six or whatever.
Speaker 2: He's one hundred and what of a kilo.
Speaker 1: Speed on him is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: It's actually going to be I don't think it's hit
Speaker 2: yet that it's it's going to be sad that he's
Speaker 2: just not there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be weird. It's a whole on the AFL
Speaker 1: that just exists for a while.
Speaker 2: But as happens in the AFL, someone will come along
Speaker 2: and fill that hole, and you know there's always the
Speaker 2: next person.
Speaker 1: No one ever do as good as Buddy.
Speaker 2: Well, do you think it's got to be the last
Speaker 2: time we see a thousand goals? Sure, And it's probably
Speaker 2: the last time we'll ever see a hundred goals unless
Speaker 2: something pretty drastic happens.
Speaker 3: You got to pull your finger out, mate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It might be like a ten
Speaker 1: six ' two role or something like that. Six sixty six.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. I mean, I think it's it's
Speaker 1: never gonna happen again. One hundred goals and he was probably,
Speaker 1: you know, in that era of transitioning from tingle in
Speaker 1: the game and being able to get that when being
Speaker 1: able to kick absolute bags every single week. There's just
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. It's just not there anymore.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think you'll ever be able to be
Speaker 1: accomplished again.
Speaker 2: I could kick the match twinner against Adelaide in that
Speaker 2: big final. I think if Charlie Curno could somehow work
Speaker 2: the fixture or everse West Coast about six or seven
Speaker 2: times in a year to get there.
Speaker 1: To get there, we'll move into the next chuck. We've
Speaker 1: got clanger of the week. What do you got for
Speaker 1: the clanger?
Speaker 2: This is a bit of a surprise and delight. Have
Speaker 2: you heard of that saying a bit of a surprise
Speaker 2: and delight? Now the AFL they like to not tell
Speaker 2: anyone that they're going to do something, and then just
Speaker 2: they just surprise dissent rules back and we're going to
Speaker 2: start paying fifties and free kicks all over the place
Speaker 2: because maybe tell someone maybe Friday, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: we could tell them going into the game, or we
Speaker 2: could just keep it a secret. And it's a little
Speaker 2: surprise and delight for the teams playing tonight and then
Speaker 2: hopefully the rest of the teams watch that game and
Speaker 2: then they'll figure it out off that.
Speaker 3: But you know, inconsistencies through everything.
Speaker 2: You don't know which games are going to do what
Speaker 2: you don't You don't know, so.
Speaker 1: Sense back descents back.
Speaker 2: But for this week, maybe for one game it's I
Speaker 2: don't like, I don't know why they That one was
Speaker 2: so bizarre to me and I don't want to bring
Speaker 2: it up. You gave away your patterned free kicking defensive
Speaker 2: fifty and I was just I'm like, this is on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a given that this is going to be fifty.
Speaker 2: And I think Brandon Maynard came over and.
Speaker 3: Just who's frapper?
Speaker 2: Just do a bit of the calm down, the breathing,
Speaker 2: and you just you know, you brought it back in,
Speaker 2: but some of you know, your opposition and teammates couldn't
Speaker 2: couldn't reel it back in. I think it was like
Speaker 2: Nathan Murphy or something where they were like the umpire
Speaker 2: on the mike was like.
Speaker 3: Careful, careful, get.
Speaker 1: I was like, careful, what, bro I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Because we haven't had the conversation about the descent rule
Speaker 2: behind the closed doors, we don't know what's coming. But
Speaker 2: that's my clanger. Give us a heads up. Tell him
Speaker 2: they might have sent an email through. Am I gone
Speaker 2: to junk? Might have gone to junk, So checked for
Speaker 2: the descent rule of email because it might have come through.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know my clanger. After the game, you can imagine,
Speaker 1: I think it was picked up. I wasn't probably in
Speaker 1: the best of moods, you believe it. Yeah, I wasn't
Speaker 1: having the greatest day of my life. And I went
Speaker 1: to dinner with some friends after and just to you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes whenever you're having a tough day, it's nic just
Speaker 1: to get with people that just don't really know anything
Speaker 1: about AFL and just have a you know, just have
Speaker 1: a chat about life and what's going on. And it
Speaker 1: was tough to get away from it because next to
Speaker 1: our table was a gentleman and he had, I assume
Speaker 1: been to the footy. Right my friends are wearing a
Speaker 1: Collingwood scarf, and he decides to come over to the
Speaker 1: table and give us a huge spiel as to why
Speaker 1: colling were just such a terrible team, not knowing that
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and knowing who I was, he goes
Speaker 1: on a full, like five to ten minute rant and
Speaker 1: blurbs on and on and on, and we're all at
Speaker 1: this dinner table going, I think he might get killed here,
Speaker 1: jump up in this man's life. And it got to
Speaker 1: the point where I think I made a comment of saying,
Speaker 1: so you need to move on, and I think at
Speaker 1: that point he my stern voice, probably gave a very
Speaker 1: clear indication that this was inappropriate, and he ended up
Speaker 1: leaving the vicinity and leaving the establishment very quickly. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was an interesting time of you know,
Speaker 1: holding back. You know, sometimes you just have to oh jeez,
Speaker 1: that's very big.
Speaker 2: You had a big, big couple of moments of holding
Speaker 2: back the emotions.
Speaker 1: It's a big it's a big.
Speaker 3: You know, you're evolving as a human. It's great. No
Speaker 3: descent towards him, no.
Speaker 1: Descent at all, none at all, just a I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe the AFL chunk is brushing off on me in
Speaker 1: my personal life. Okay, we'll get into the games. There's
Speaker 1: plenty of big games this week, Bradon. Plenty of been
Speaker 1: great big games, and one of the big ones that
Speaker 1: no one probably saw coming to Long versus Freemantle. Freemantle
Speaker 1: at GM HbA gets the dub.
Speaker 2: It's the upset round, Mace. Now we're going to get
Speaker 2: into a lot of upsets that happened in this round.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know, as a Frio fan, if you're just
Speaker 2: ecstatic by this win or if you're just confused by
Speaker 2: what the hell Frio are doing. I feel like there's
Speaker 2: always a bit of belief going into the Geelong game.
Speaker 3: Down at the Cattery.
Speaker 2: There's there's been a long gooing I guess a little
Speaker 2: rivalry between Geelong and Frio. I had Geelong penciled in
Speaker 2: for this top eight slot and straight away this really
Speaker 2: puts the brakes on that. And especially when you look
Speaker 2: at the injuries coming out of this game, there was
Speaker 2: a few of them. Hawkins really pulled up short and
Speaker 2: came from the field.
Speaker 1: He's out for is huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're losing a lot of running power, rock power,
Speaker 2: leaders leadership, You're losing a lot with blitzers. Obviously Hawkins
Speaker 2: is invaluable as well. So yeah, it was a really
Speaker 2: big loss for free for Geelong at home, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't think Freeo can make it.
Speaker 1: I think that yeah, they're they're they're probably another I
Speaker 1: think it's like two and a half games out, I
Speaker 1: want to say, or something like that.
Speaker 2: And so I think if they win every game, they
Speaker 2: win twelve and you probably needed twelve thirteen percentage, So
Speaker 2: I don't think it looks very good for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was interesting. I mean yeah, Chris Scott breaks
Speaker 1: the longest serving coach in Geelong's history this weekend, which
Speaker 1: was really cool. Credit congrats to him. Credit to him
Speaker 1: at three hundred and five games at the Helm. As
Speaker 1: he'd start, he'd be pumped. He would have before the game.
Speaker 1: I don't I can't imagine he would have been in
Speaker 1: such a great mood after the game. But these things happened.
Speaker 1: There was a few things that came out of it.
Speaker 1: Frederick kicks on the rune corner, sorry corner, yep, mad
Speaker 1: at me for saying corner. So when I say kicks
Speaker 1: it from the pocket, because there's no corners on a football.
Speaker 3: Field, I like the corner. Chat. Everyone knows what you mean.
Speaker 2: It's just very unique now that goal, that goal is
Speaker 2: it was Gary Ablett junior esque. When he returned to
Speaker 2: the category for the first time playing for the Gold
Speaker 2: Coast Sons, kicked a goal in the same vein and
Speaker 2: it was so good the Geelong fans clapped in.
Speaker 1: It was ten minutes left in the fourth quarter, so
Speaker 1: it's a pivotal goal. It wasn't just like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're casually up by eighty, I'm just taking you know,
Speaker 1: kicks from the corner for fine.
Speaker 2: The game was definitely on the line at that stage,
Speaker 2: so it was it added to how good the goal was.
Speaker 2: It was a great standalone goal. But he's kicking them
Speaker 2: from there, poor Jazz, our boy, Jazz. Well, we one
Speaker 2: goal five and he had one that didn't make the distance.
Speaker 2: So one goal five from seven shots.
Speaker 1: These things happened, though. I also got full faith in
Speaker 1: the man. I got lots of love for Jazz. Lots
Speaker 1: of love, Oh lots of love. That's just through patches.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, silver lining. He's having the shots, he's getting
Speaker 1: the shots. He's still in front of goal if that's.
Speaker 3: Any other day, he's converting those.
Speaker 2: So you just keep shoot a shoot shooters shoot well.
Speaker 1: Freemantle snaps the four game losing streak at a big,
Speaker 1: big win a GMHBA down there in Geelong and one
Speaker 1: of the upsets, like we said of the mini over
Speaker 1: the weekend, that did happen. We'll move into the next one.
Speaker 1: Bulldogs versus Giants. Your boys, the Giants, the big, big
Speaker 1: sound from the west of the town. Still on a roll.
Speaker 2: At this stage. Are we surprised? Like they are doing
Speaker 2: it everywhere. This isn't like a team that's just winning
Speaker 2: at home and then struggling away.
Speaker 3: They've won.
Speaker 2: They've beaten Melbourne up in the NT. They beat Adelaide
Speaker 2: at Adelaide. Who you know, they just beat hot in Adelaide,
Speaker 2: So it's pretty hard deal to go over there and
Speaker 2: beat Adelaide. They've beaten Yeah, now the Bulldogs in Ballarat.
Speaker 1: They've won in nine different locations. That's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3: It's still underrated what they're doing.
Speaker 2: I've been telling them and it's just like this for weeks,
Speaker 2: banging their head against a bloody brick wall mace. Because
Speaker 2: this team is still underrated. They're going to be a
Speaker 2: big problem. Come fine, because they're they can you know,
Speaker 2: get in the way final. They can get a home final,
Speaker 2: they could go to Antarctica, they can go to Mars.
Speaker 2: They're going to get the WS. It's actually insane to
Speaker 2: see and it's lead from the front. Toby Green got
Speaker 2: to be putting a case up besides your teammate Darcy
Speaker 2: Moore for all Australian captain. I would love to see
Speaker 2: him get it, the bad boy of the AFL. We
Speaker 2: like to see a bit of attitude fall out.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he does.
Speaker 2: And he can just go in there and karate kick
Speaker 2: him across the room and you know, I gouge him
Speaker 2: or whatever he's going to do to get himself across.
Speaker 3: The line there.
Speaker 1: Captain, Oh, the smirk on his face would be worth
Speaker 1: a million bucks.
Speaker 3: We well, well the dieples have, sir. It would be
Speaker 3: great to see.
Speaker 1: Now he did kick four and sorry, kicked five I
Speaker 1: think yeah. During the game, so second half goes you know,
Speaker 1: it's all green, all green, there's red, yellow and green.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's just sitting there in the first
Speaker 2: half and he's boys, when you need me, give me
Speaker 2: a call, I'll be out there. Second Huld came out
Speaker 2: kick five won the game, no way, his fellas wild.
Speaker 1: He kicked four I think four in a quarter and
Speaker 1: the fifth goal he kicked in the fourth and there
Speaker 1: were down thirty five points in the third and they
Speaker 1: came back. So it's an impressive win by the Giants
Speaker 1: and they go up to the sixth spot while the
Speaker 1: Bulldogs go back to the eighth spot.
Speaker 2: Frustrating lust for the Bulldogs even more so it was
Speaker 2: a home game, even more so. The amount of injuries
Speaker 2: out of this, Now, we got to put the prayers
Speaker 2: up for Josh Bruce absolutely devastating. Did his ACL when
Speaker 2: he was like up there in the Coleman. Yeah, then
Speaker 2: he's you know, some boys have come in and you know,
Speaker 2: filled his spot. So he's gone back and then he's
Speaker 2: done his other knee ACL.
Speaker 3: He's going to miss another extended period of time. It's
Speaker 3: just rough.
Speaker 2: There's nothing sport man, there's nothing just more soul destroying
Speaker 2: than seeing someone go down with like an ACL at
Speaker 2: any team. It's like one of those universal things you
Speaker 2: never want to see it happen. And Josh this great guy.
Speaker 2: He's actually been in the van yea and yeah, so
Speaker 2: prayers up to him, hopefully a speedy recovery.
Speaker 1: Alex Keith, Yeah, there's some other other injuries from this.
Speaker 2: You got a concussion, which you know, we'll talk about
Speaker 2: this a bit further on, but it's good to see
Speaker 2: that he got subbed out with that because you've got
Speaker 2: to take care of the players most.
Speaker 1: And love how to go to defense. So they've lost
Speaker 1: a lot of people in their back line. You got
Speaker 1: Bruce Keith, Liam Jones has been out in Tim O'Brien
Speaker 1: all unable to play next week. So it is a
Speaker 1: bit a bit dire in the back line for the
Speaker 1: Dogs at the moment. But I think they'll throw some
Speaker 1: stuff around. They'll have to. Yeah, probably keep or a
Speaker 1: Lob back there. If things get real desperate, maybe bring
Speaker 1: not And back. I'm not really Norton back Mace he was.
Speaker 1: He's their threat forward too, you know, I mean, Jamarrow's
Speaker 1: going to be kicking a bunch if he's going back.
Speaker 2: You know, why why do you have Lob Lob's not
Speaker 2: going to play back, So you get lobby in as
Speaker 2: a forward, keep him as a forward. You've got Jamara,
Speaker 2: he's taken over, So I reckon target, keep them up
Speaker 2: there as your key pillars, and send Norton back where
Speaker 2: he was born and bred and playing footy up through
Speaker 2: the charts. He was an absolute killer back in defense.
Speaker 2: My question to you, looking at those outs, do AFL
Speaker 2: teams need defenders.
Speaker 3: Or can you can you just play without them?
Speaker 1: I think you need defenders Brandon.
Speaker 2: So they're they're in a bit of trouble. You know,
Speaker 2: they're in a bit of trouble. So I don't like
Speaker 2: their chances now how quickly that turns, because it looked
Speaker 2: like they were just on fire mere weeks ago and
Speaker 2: now they're still up there, They're still in there, they're still.
Speaker 1: In the eight. It was a big game over the
Speaker 1: weekend and to be up at three quarter time and
Speaker 1: then end up losing the one, they'll be regretting that.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Let's get into another one, the Q Clash,
Speaker 1: the Queensland Cup, Sons versus Lions once again, another upset,
Speaker 1: you would say, is it I've told you for the start.
Speaker 1: My boys, the signs they're coming back.
Speaker 3: They're making a late push for this.
Speaker 1: It's big props of the Suns for knocking off off Brisbane.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It shook up the top four, that's for sure. And
Speaker 2: I have no idea how the top four is going
Speaker 2: to finish. There is there's obviously a clear gap between
Speaker 2: the top four and the you know, the next four,
Speaker 2: but there's mini battles within those mini battles. It's it's
Speaker 2: absolutely it's so good to see this year that the
Speaker 2: you know, the ladder's in the shape that it is.
Speaker 2: A week ago, I was like, that's the eight and
Speaker 2: now this week it's like flipped on its head. I
Speaker 2: think the craziest thing out of this whole game was
Speaker 2: Ben King coming out and kicking five.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I didn't kick go on to mins
Speaker 1: I'm back.
Speaker 2: And to just go like, okay, I'm back. And it's
Speaker 2: not against you know, West Coast like Charlie Kurno. It's
Speaker 2: against Brisbane lines in the Q clash arguably the biggest
Speaker 2: game of the year or one of their two because
Speaker 2: they've come up against them already. But he looked phenomenal.
Speaker 2: He was just clunking big ones, got out the back
Speaker 2: a couple of times. Uh, it's good to see. I
Speaker 2: like seeing both King brothers up and about. Obviously Max
Speaker 2: not playing at the moment.
Speaker 1: I still wishing them playing on the same team. So
Speaker 1: what's his name? What's the thing? King of the Castle?
Speaker 1: King of the Castle?
Speaker 2: I was thinking like a you know, like a royal horn,
Speaker 2: like something that put the crown on.
Speaker 1: If you kick five, you get a special little shout
Speaker 1: out from us.
Speaker 3: Crazy that, like we've had one of those every week, like.
Speaker 1: Five yearsually once a week we just get like text
Speaker 1: Walker kicks five on a weekly basis. Man, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that game. We'll get into that game. But there
Speaker 1: is another big person that came up, Tuck Miller.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love this and I didn't know how Savage
Speaker 2: was Like, he's just like a running machine, got an
Speaker 2: engine for days. We know all of this stuff. But
Speaker 2: the he was having fun drowning Neil. He was like
Speaker 2: just taking him into heavy water and just he was struggling.
Speaker 2: You could see multiple times lucky Neil just kind of
Speaker 2: didn't want to go with him, couldn't go with him.
Speaker 2: There was I think my favorite moment of the whole game.
Speaker 2: Well there was probably two, but my favorite moment was
Speaker 2: late in the game, took took a mark in front
Speaker 2: of Neil, turn around, looked at him, smiled in his face,
Speaker 2: gave him like a little wink like I've got you,
Speaker 2: I've got you, turned and hit a forty five to
Speaker 2: a guy running through the middle of the ground.
Speaker 3: Who didn't break stride.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then he kicked it to a guy that kicked
Speaker 2: the goal. And it was just like took a Savage.
Speaker 1: A year Savage man saying once he comes back, your
Speaker 1: boys the Gold Coast signs chance Maga finals.
Speaker 2: And I think that was his second most savage thing,
Speaker 2: and that was ice cold. But apparently apparently, apparently this
Speaker 2: is apparently, don't come at me. But he was making
Speaker 2: fun of Lucky News tattoo. Now I don't don't For
Speaker 2: those who haven't seen this tattoo just on.
Speaker 1: The Reddit forms, you've gone down and figured this out.
Speaker 3: Actually calling it out on radio, Oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, huge, And what tattoos are that.
Speaker 3: You can't blame it.
Speaker 2: Now, there's a disclaimer of this because there's a fair
Speaker 2: chance that it's symbolic in some way.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I almost hope that it is.
Speaker 2: Really but it's basically like two little like swallows dancing
Speaker 2: in the wind on his arm. He's got them on
Speaker 2: his byset and it's like this real thin line work shady.
Speaker 1: You have to be careful with these things because this
Speaker 1: could havem meaning. It could be real, mean, it could
Speaker 1: if you're making fun of someone for a tattoo that
Speaker 1: has a certain meaning to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred and if it does. If it does,
Speaker 2: going to I'll apologize along with Took.
Speaker 1: We'll get an apology together.
Speaker 2: You see me in on the email, happy to your
Speaker 2: co sign that but shocking tattoo. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: look this thing up because I got to do some digging,
Speaker 2: some research on it. But if you went into the
Speaker 2: tattoo parlor and just said, hey, mate, what do you
Speaker 2: got for me today? Pick it out off the board,
Speaker 2: that's the one I want.
Speaker 1: Who two does win the Best on Ground or the
Speaker 1: Marcus Ashcroft Metal So Congratsutu. He's absolutely killing it back
Speaker 1: in the game after his injury, and we love love
Speaker 1: seeing it. But we've got to bring this up. We've
Speaker 1: got to bring this up because can you smell what
Speaker 1: the mac is cooking? Like this, this dude Mac Age
Speaker 1: puts the w W SmackDown on Jared Berry.
Speaker 2: I was in it and I saw what was happening
Speaker 2: in the lead up and Jared Berry he's on top
Speaker 2: of Mac Andrew, full mount speck UFC, ground and pound style,
Speaker 2: like fucking bull right on top of him, and you
Speaker 2: know they've kind of fighted out. It goes forward whatever happens,
Speaker 2: and then it cuts back to him in the aftermath.
Speaker 2: So it's like it's always the retaliator that gets caught.
Speaker 2: Mac Andrew stands up and he's like, this.
Speaker 3: Isn't over.
Speaker 2: Slams Berry and it's like, hell, yeah, that's what you get.
Speaker 2: Don't start ship and then just expect to get away
Speaker 2: with it all.
Speaker 1: For it suspended.
Speaker 2: Good chip In on that one. I reckon send that
Speaker 2: around to the Gold Coast boys. Chip In, send me
Speaker 2: like a little PayPal coat and I'll give you a
Speaker 2: dollar because he's a bloody Berry boys. Back at it again,
Speaker 2: the old straw. Now he just went full victim mode.
Speaker 2: I think he might have copped a little poke in
Speaker 2: the eye. Now we all know what that's like. Training
Speaker 2: came out with little eyedrops.
Speaker 3: Mate.
Speaker 2: You can't turn full victim after being the bully. It's
Speaker 2: like the bully turned victim and it's like, mate, suck
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 3: Just so.
Speaker 1: I think the thing was they only bit of a scuffle,
Speaker 1: which we love a scuffle. I love a scuffle, and
Speaker 1: then I think it was like sorry, no, Mac kind
Speaker 1: of put him in a headlock into like a body slam,
Speaker 1: and it was just like the ball was nowhere near him,
Speaker 1: like there was no This was a pure like them too,
Speaker 1: just going at it like two bulls and obviously gets
Speaker 1: caught on camera. As all these things too. It was
Speaker 1: quite entertaining to say.
Speaker 3: And I think the.
Speaker 2: Best part that I like, I was sitting there going
Speaker 2: like one hundred percent. Do that you're up by a
Speaker 2: million points. You've earned the right to give away this
Speaker 2: free kick. Just give it to him. Just give it
Speaker 2: to Stephen King's writing novels and coaching the team in
Speaker 2: the any spare time. And he he would be stoked
Speaker 2: saying that I'd be like, you'd give him a pass.
Speaker 1: It's given the Q class a bit of biff.
Speaker 2: We love, They need a bit of biff, and it was.
Speaker 2: It was good to see and it was good to
Speaker 2: see the Sons win. Obviously Stuart Jew's over there in
Speaker 2: England playing with the the Australian cricket team, but it's
Speaker 2: also good to see the Sons get the w massages.
Speaker 1: It is and we'll move on to the next one,
Speaker 1: Essendon versus the Swans and this is a two point
Speaker 1: win for Sydney.
Speaker 2: And this was a cracking game. Unreal, you know what
Speaker 2: a small thing before we jump into it. I like
Speaker 2: the fifteen minute game difference because you can flick between
Speaker 2: the games, so you can flick us flicking between Essen
Speaker 2: and Sydney.
Speaker 3: And Adelaide Porte.
Speaker 2: So when it was caught a time the game, watch
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, flick back and you can do that. Why
Speaker 2: marry them up so they start at the exact same
Speaker 2: time and you have to pick which game. It was
Speaker 2: so good if the Showdown was better because you could
Speaker 2: flick over at the end and watch the last fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes of the Showdown.
Speaker 3: But I don't know, they do weird to.
Speaker 1: Be this is in America. We have this like NFL
Speaker 1: Network has like a game play where you can put
Speaker 1: like two games like Red split Screen next to each other,
Speaker 1: right and you can watch them the two games at once.
Speaker 2: You can do that on KO. Okay, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: If KO wants to sponsor it, we'll tell them.
Speaker 3: All about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge sponsors of such a such an icy thing
Speaker 1: you can do on KO. But one of the big
Speaker 1: things obviously we talked to the beginning Buddy sub doubt
Speaker 1: calf injury and now is retired. Props to the big Man.
Speaker 1: An incredible career as we mentioned off the top, and
Speaker 1: going to love actually to see what he does post career.
Speaker 1: Just something else like I'm very excited for what the
Speaker 1: future holds for this man.
Speaker 2: It's actually interesting to be like I think Jordan Lewis
Speaker 2: was saying that he's a full footy nuffy like love's
Speaker 2: footy and wants to get into coaching. So that's imagine
Speaker 2: having that knowledge at your club, just being like, go here,
Speaker 2: stand there, take the like it would be great. It
Speaker 2: would be kind of hard for him to describe the players.
Speaker 2: Just do what I do, Like, just take seven bounces
Speaker 2: on the wing, kick it on your left on the
Speaker 2: fall through the goals, Like why would you just do that?
Speaker 2: But no, it would be invaluable. I've said invaluable twice.
Speaker 2: Is that an actual word? Because it's it's thereabout now.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Amari party Joela Marty,
Speaker 2: because I feel like they've got like replacements, ready made replacements.
Speaker 2: They got McDonald, they got Amari like ready to shine.
Speaker 2: I think he did well to kind of hold it
Speaker 2: up and teach these guys. Yeah, you know Ford Craft
Speaker 2: before he left, so I think they'll be fine, like
Speaker 2: leaving with our buddy. So but it was good to see.
Speaker 2: It was almost the handing over the baton in this game. Like,
Speaker 2: Joela Marty has been pretty good in Buddy's absence previously,
Speaker 2: like when Buddy has been missing, Joelamarty kind of steps
Speaker 2: up and yeah, he did it again in this game
Speaker 2: kicking four, So that was awesome to see.
Speaker 1: Also another person that stepped out for Sydney, Pappy, as
Speaker 1: always tends to bob up whenever the game's on the line,
Speaker 1: kicks a sixty meter bomb as the Swan's only goal
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and that's the one that gets
Speaker 1: him over the line to win this game. So perhaps
Speaker 1: shows up in the you know, in the time they
Speaker 1: need him as he always does, and seems to definitely
Speaker 1: hyped up about that. And then from Esston's side we
Speaker 1: had Langford kicked five. What's Langford.
Speaker 3: Ford?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because for f one fifty Lane Ford f one
Speaker 1: fifty kick five for the bomb and Peter Wright or
Speaker 1: two meter Peter kicks four.
Speaker 2: Nickname, I want to give you a nickname. I want
Speaker 2: to put this on the radar for two Peter. For
Speaker 2: two Peter. I know that he's got a nickname and
Speaker 2: it just so happens to be two. Well, I want to,
Speaker 2: in Aussie fashion, give a nickname based off his nickname
Speaker 2: to Mead e Pet to.
Speaker 3: Meadi p D like t O O A T y
Speaker 3: P E T E.
Speaker 1: Why do you consider him meaty is out of words too.
Speaker 3: Meaty pet, big boy to meaty Pet.
Speaker 1: I think of a big boy and I think of
Speaker 1: like Shane Mumford. That's a meaty human. Peter right, it's
Speaker 1: a big but Shane's like he's like like Sean Darcy,
Speaker 1: meaty human.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like to Meady Darcy.
Speaker 1: This is getting a bit sexual. Okay, well it's just weird,
Speaker 1: but we all say this. Bombers have unfortunately lost five
Speaker 1: of the last six, but there is some positive news
Speaker 1: for all the Bombers fans out there. They were playing
Speaker 1: West Coast and North next before they played g b
Speaker 1: Us in Collingwood, so they get too Yeah, they get
Speaker 1: essentially two of the bottom teams that are coming up
Speaker 1: to be able to get a bit of momentum and
Speaker 1: then go and play some of the some of the
Speaker 1: top eight teams. So you know they're not out of it.
Speaker 1: But it was a when that they probably are looking
Speaker 1: back on a you know, if we were able to
Speaker 1: just kick one more goal, we might be at a
Speaker 1: better position to be able to make finals. So it
Speaker 1: is what it is at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: But we'll move on to the next one, the big showdown,
Speaker 1: the Big Adelaide showdown, Port Adelaide versus Adelaide. And this
Speaker 1: one was interesting.
Speaker 3: Biggest news story of the weekend.
Speaker 2: Mace, we can't go past a leer earlier and Lucky
Speaker 2: Jones clashing heads and that was just the beginning of
Speaker 2: it because for all money, they both went kind of
Speaker 2: limp and it looked like an obvious case of concussion,
Speaker 2: and you know, the protocols take their effect, and you
Speaker 2: think you'd go from there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a lot of questions I've been raised
Speaker 1: over the last twenty four or forty eight hours about
Speaker 1: how it's been handled, which has been very interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, obviously touchy situations, and you can
Speaker 2: never question the doctors in these circumstances because we don't
Speaker 2: know the information. So out of that, I would just
Speaker 2: say one obvious statement, not a good look.
Speaker 3: Just not a good look.
Speaker 2: If you're you know, Ali Elia's family sitting at home,
Speaker 2: you'd be wondering why you boys out there still playing
Speaker 2: six minutes after he's just been limp on the ground
Speaker 2: for an extended period of time. Lucky Jones went through
Speaker 2: the scat test yeah, past yeah, got subbed out with
Speaker 2: a migraine signs of concussion. So you do the sign
Speaker 2: a concussion, take.
Speaker 1: Them out of the game.
Speaker 2: It is a signic concussion. But to say that it
Speaker 2: was just a migraine and it was separate a bit weird.
Speaker 2: And then Ali Eleia obviously went out six minutes later
Speaker 2: after they saw the vision and said nothing to say,
Speaker 2: it's very interesting. I wouldn't say much more about it.
Speaker 2: Outside of that, I would say there has been a
Speaker 2: few occasions where something similar has happened to this across
Speaker 2: the league. And then the doctors get thrown into this
Speaker 2: awkward situation where they're questioned when you know, the general
Speaker 2: public doesn't know the information, but they.
Speaker 3: Want to know the information.
Speaker 1: Make sure the players are right. If there's a.
Speaker 2: Reason behind it, fine, tell us the reason. We'll get
Speaker 2: around it. AFL issued to please explain to port Adelaide,
Speaker 2: And the latest update is that both Li Earlier and
Speaker 2: Luckie Jones will now be out with concussion protocols. So
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's you know, just the AFL
Speaker 2: going like, look on visuals alone, No, these boys aren't playing,
Speaker 2: And that's what I think the thing is Obviously, the
Speaker 2: AFL in years to come are going to be the
Speaker 2: ones that have to answer to these situations.
Speaker 1: Very cautious from here on.
Speaker 2: So I think that AFL should take it into their
Speaker 2: own hands these types of situations. Now, something that's very
Speaker 2: similar is in the NRL, where they'll see a head
Speaker 2: knock or a big tackle and they will review it
Speaker 2: off the field a governing body and go like, nah,
Speaker 2: take that bloke off. They'll stop the game and take
Speaker 2: that player off the field. Now, I think something similar
Speaker 2: in the AFL would be great.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, essentially an independent person from both the
Speaker 1: teams that as an AFL representative deciding whether or not
Speaker 1: the concussion pro con needs to be Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just to have a look at it, Just to have
Speaker 2: a look at it. And it takes any of these
Speaker 2: questions out of you know, the hands of Like you
Speaker 2: don't have the public going like, oh, what's the doctors doing,
Speaker 2: what are their mindsets, what are their thoughts, what are
Speaker 2: the processes? You got the awkward like Kenny Hinckley press
Speaker 2: conference afterwards where he's like, look, I don't know, but
Speaker 2: you know I was talking to earlier and he seemed
Speaker 2: fine after the game, like all of this stuff just
Speaker 2: creates more gray area and mystery and a cloud over
Speaker 2: the whole situation. We all want the player's best interests,
Speaker 2: Like we all want, you know, to see these players
Speaker 2: retire and go on and live happy, healthy lives after footage.
Speaker 2: So I think it's would just be you know, almost
Speaker 2: like the you know, the third umpire or whatever who's
Speaker 2: sitting up in you're sitting up in the hub. You
Speaker 2: have like an official up there going like nah, I
Speaker 2: didn't like the look at that. That was a head
Speaker 2: clash or that was a heavy bumb heavy tackle.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like you gotta think like umpires would
Speaker 1: have a doctor or something along those lines. So to
Speaker 1: be able to have that person maybe as the AFL's
Speaker 1: independent decided around cancussion protocols for the day, might be
Speaker 1: an option. I don't know, but I do like the
Speaker 1: way NRAL does it. It's pretty interesting that they have
Speaker 1: someone that's separate to both teams that makes that official
Speaker 1: decision and takes it out of the hands of the
Speaker 1: club doctors, where you know, you can maybe try to
Speaker 1: you know, fluff a bit of a lie whenever you
Speaker 1: can cast some of that try to get back on
Speaker 1: the on the field. But if you're talking to an
Speaker 1: AFL representative, they're going to be extremely conservative around the
Speaker 1: whole thing where it's chances are more likely than not
Speaker 1: you're gonna get pulled off the field.
Speaker 2: Because they would definitely like on the other side, they
Speaker 2: would go like, rather you know, not risk it, rather
Speaker 2: not like take any chances or whatever. And like Ken
Speaker 2: Hinckley said after the game that you know, everyone is
Speaker 2: wanting the player's safety to be paramount and number one,
Speaker 2: and it's just these things are going to evolve over time.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been incredible difference between ten years ago
Speaker 1: and now, and it's head in the right direction.
Speaker 3: One is do you remember I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's on every Big Hit compilation ever, Jordan Lewis going
Speaker 2: back with the flight through the middle and getting shit
Speaker 2: mixed to use the Jeremy House saying, and he ran
Speaker 2: back out on the field and played out the game.
Speaker 2: It's like things like that, it's like that would never happen.
Speaker 2: It's like Diesel Williams, one of the all time great
Speaker 2: AFL players, that can't remember playing in finals, can't remember
Speaker 2: his wedding day, can't remember you know, the birth of
Speaker 2: his children and stuff because of issues like this that
Speaker 2: he just played through because it was a different time,
Speaker 2: different era. So it's we're getting to where we need
Speaker 2: to get to, and it's just like things like this
Speaker 2: every time an issue arises and it's like, oh, I
Speaker 2: didn't like the look at that.
Speaker 3: What can we put in place to fix that?
Speaker 1: Issa prevent that from happening again. Well, another thing it
Speaker 1: did came out come out of this was tex Kick seven.
Speaker 1: He's still on his ship Texas out there, so what's Texas?
Speaker 1: Texas Walker Ranger Delu.
Speaker 3: He's nuts. He's nuts.
Speaker 2: And I love the Adelaide Fords because they just they
Speaker 2: can kick bombs and they just go dead straight.
Speaker 1: I had a chance to kick actually eight, and he
Speaker 1: gave one off for a.
Speaker 2: Big truck of a man. Like he's a you know,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be like, he wouldn't be top scoring in
Speaker 2: the agility test, you wouldn't imagine.
Speaker 3: But he just kicks these like snaps and.
Speaker 2: Like interesting, he just yeah, exactly, he knows where they are.
Speaker 1: Him and Charlie cron six goals separate them too for
Speaker 1: the Coleman rece in the moment. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: an interesting little run home for them too, and who
Speaker 1: knows he's gonna win in the end. But I want
Speaker 1: to do a little shout out. There's a man that
Speaker 1: debuted for Adelaide who used to play Collingwood, Mark Keene,
Speaker 1: the Irishman. What Irishman?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, terrible.
Speaker 1: He actually pluayed against Charlie Dixon. Actually did pretty well.
Speaker 1: So he did really well. Yeah, shout out to him.
Speaker 1: And a debut against one of the best forwards in
Speaker 1: the league. Pretty amazing. Yeah, Mark Keen to myself, we've
Speaker 1: had a few biffs over the years, right, he's a
Speaker 1: he's a bit of a player that gets under your skin.
Speaker 2: So he would play on you in like training and
Speaker 2: like intra clubs and things like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every once in a while we line up against
Speaker 1: each other and he'd give you a little what do
Speaker 1: you call it the when you brush someone up against
Speaker 1: the ears?
Speaker 3: Do you call you a punch in the head?
Speaker 1: Punch it the hat essentially? Yeah, you go for a marketing,
Speaker 1: it makes you coop you in the ears. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: ear mass sage, That's what I'm thinking of. Brandon Wild
Speaker 1: and he'd give you an ear massage every once in
Speaker 1: a while. And yeah, we had to be broken up
Speaker 1: a few times. You know, it's all on them, you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. It's all training, you get
Speaker 1: a bit hyped up whatnot. But he was a bit
Speaker 1: of a person that would just get into you. You know,
Speaker 1: one of those people.
Speaker 2: White like was he just chill off and then like
Speaker 2: white line fever a little bit.
Speaker 1: He did like curling though back in Ireland, so it's
Speaker 1: a bit of an aggressive sport.
Speaker 2: I think, you know how, like there's a fascination of
Speaker 2: like when people just cover AFL overseas and they watched
Speaker 2: like the highlights tapes and stuff. When I went to
Speaker 2: Ireland and I saw hurling for the first time, I
Speaker 2: was fascinated because all I saw was like Gaelic football
Speaker 2: was like you know, the number one and that's okay,
Speaker 2: Like that's fine. It's kind of just a shitter version
Speaker 2: of what we have. But the.
Speaker 1: But I kidding any Irish friends to that, But yeah,
Speaker 1: hurling is where it's at. That's why I know. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I really like bash people the stick. It's wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just run around with big sticks and just
Speaker 2: club the shit out of each other. I reckon they're
Speaker 2: the tough people. Yeah, and they're the people that I
Speaker 2: want on my side. If I'm going to go to
Speaker 2: town with any Irish people, I've got the hurling people
Speaker 2: on my side because you can't even tackle from behind
Speaker 2: in Gaelic football.
Speaker 3: Come on, get some.
Speaker 2: I want to put this on the radar. Jason Horn
Speaker 2: Francis love him. He's a jet, he's ban of soccers.
Speaker 2: He's super quick. I didn't expect that, like I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, Nathan Buckley esque power, not speed, but he's
Speaker 2: quick and he does seem to get a lot of
Speaker 2: these like dropping at the knees, duck the head kind
Speaker 2: of high free kicks, which you do get when you're
Speaker 2: a ball winning ball kind of player. But I don't
Speaker 2: know in the moment watching the game, it's stuck in
Speaker 2: my head that it was like Jack Ginnovin started getting
Speaker 2: a lot of those early. And then as soon as
Speaker 2: it became a talking point because one of our friends
Speaker 2: came Corns brought it up on radio every single day,
Speaker 2: which he won't do with Jason Horn Francis, it became
Speaker 2: a talking point. And we all know as soon as
Speaker 2: something becomes a talking point, it becomes a focus. So
Speaker 2: when it becomes a focus, they start to clamp down.
Speaker 2: Now I'm predicting this will start to happen to Jason Horn.
Speaker 1: France crystal ball out there we go.
Speaker 2: So I feel like if it becomes a talking point,
Speaker 2: you know, he'll stop getting some of those free kicks,
Speaker 2: which will you know, cut four or five possessions off game.
Speaker 2: That's a big difference when you you know, you get
Speaker 2: that fifteen to twenty range. Yeah, but yeah, I just
Speaker 2: see it, see it.
Speaker 1: Time will tell all be waiting to see if you've
Speaker 1: predicted that.
Speaker 3: Predict you like a few predictions on this we have
Speaker 3: podcast I have.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants is a big one.
Speaker 2: Your hanging I say Giants and then you were like
Speaker 2: gold Coast So maybe it's.
Speaker 1: Just me Wow, is it all right? Well we'll get
Speaker 1: into the next game before you keep going on that way.
Speaker 1: Hawthorne Saint Kilda, this is an interesting one. Saint Kilda
Speaker 1: came out the block's hot. Oh they were hot, and
Speaker 1: then Hawthorne had a little bit of a spray from
Speaker 1: their head coach a quarter time. All Mitchell came out
Speaker 1: and said, boys, is not good enough. We need to
Speaker 1: pick this shit up, and they responded they came back
Speaker 1: and they had a bit of a run and it
Speaker 1: was eleven points of the difference at three quarter time,
Speaker 1: so you can say that it definitely worked. And yeah
Speaker 1: Saint Kila was able to hold on the end, but Hawthorne,
Speaker 1: as always and we keep saying this showed up, gave
Speaker 1: a value an effort. Unfortunately was not on the winning
Speaker 1: side of it, but people like Luke Bruce kicked six
Speaker 1: also boom. But yeah St Kilda's got a run home
Speaker 1: of Carlton Richmond Geelong in Brisbane, So Saint kill is
Speaker 1: gonna run tough four games coming up, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: So this one was a good win for them and
Speaker 1: they in a tough little patch coming up of games,
Speaker 1: so that was a big thing. Another big big news
Speaker 1: from that game Zach Jones, Cooper Sharman and Anthony Kim
Speaker 1: and Eddy will likely be missing next week with injuries.
Speaker 3: So they can't get a run with these injuries.
Speaker 1: Jeez, it's it's gonna be tough. Well, I think Anthony
Speaker 1: ended up getting i think a suspension for hitting Cecily,
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a game for him.
Speaker 3: I mean, who.
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to have a crack at Cecily. It seems
Speaker 2: like everyone wants to like cly I like it, but
Speaker 2: it's like he seems to be fighting with someone every week.
Speaker 1: He's just the defender everyone you know wants to beat.
Speaker 3: Play it on you or is he just go to
Speaker 3: the best Ford.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he probably goes to Best for it. Probably Jamie Elliott.
Speaker 1: It's probably he goes to. Yeah, he's got speed, he's
Speaker 1: a quick follow. But it was a big win for
Speaker 1: Saint Kilda. I think they need that one of the
Speaker 1: books to continue their top eight spot run, and they
Speaker 1: needed to make sure they got that w over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Any team would struggle against those four in the in
Speaker 3: the run half.
Speaker 1: No doubt. Now the next one we'll go into is
Speaker 1: Richmond versus Melbourne. Now they were down. Melbourne was down
Speaker 1: twenty on two occasions after halftime, So Richmond was looking
Speaker 1: at a bit of an upset here thinking, oh boy,
Speaker 1: we might be all liking the top eight spot up
Speaker 1: in here. Maybe Nah, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: where are they at at the moment.
Speaker 3: They they are, They're just out there.
Speaker 2: They're like a game outside, which is like crazy if
Speaker 2: they had to clinch this, you know, shakes things up,
Speaker 2: shakes it up again even more, especially with Melbourne's position
Speaker 2: in the top four. But you know, very unlikely savior
Speaker 2: who we got, We got Harry Petty. Now he kicked
Speaker 2: six six defender turned forward, which I don't know if
Speaker 2: you want to you know some of these you don't.
Speaker 2: When it happens for the first time, a team has
Speaker 2: to panic and try to figure it out on the run. Now,
Speaker 2: next week, if they try to pull the same string,
Speaker 2: is they're going to get the same result time will
Speaker 2: tell I was thinking Tom Petty.
Speaker 3: For his He's kicked six, so he's got his spots. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now my one was because I'm free.
Speaker 3: What do you reckon?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well everything? So you give That's the one I've got.
Speaker 3: That's all I've got.
Speaker 4: Your word instead, crowd got well back down, That's the one.
Speaker 1: That's it. I know a whole six words of that song.
Speaker 3: Everyone Harrison Petty, Harrison Petty six, then ruy.
Speaker 1: Insane another one that sounds like boo that's.
Speaker 2: Where they go even though it's roy but and then
Speaker 2: your boy pick a kick two to really, you know,
Speaker 2: put it away.
Speaker 1: Also malium is it's a handy goal kicker.
Speaker 2: He you know, he he just and he likes kicking
Speaker 2: him from the corner A couple of couple from the corner,
Speaker 2: and he's just a very handy player. Having your team now,
Speaker 2: MAXI Gorne turns it on as he always does.
Speaker 3: I reckon he's number one again, number one rock in.
Speaker 1: The who else he sean Darcy be up there if
Speaker 1: he's plan Tim English As the statistics.
Speaker 3: You can tell me more about it. But how important
Speaker 3: is the get out kick?
Speaker 2: Because I feel like the bailout kick and have Max
Speaker 2: gone up the line. He out marks a pack more
Speaker 2: often than not.
Speaker 1: It's a hundred meter difference in the game. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he takes out mark that's fifty meters. Then he
Speaker 1: kicks it along that's another fifty meters, so one hundred
Speaker 1: meters difference essentially going from the golf square to ford fifty.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. I don't like.
Speaker 2: I don't know how he does it because he doesn't
Speaker 2: really there's no run and jump about it or leap
Speaker 2: or anything. He just stands there and jumps straight up
Speaker 2: and just plucks it.
Speaker 1: He reads the ball really well when he's he just
Speaker 1: knows he's got that sense of wind to launch really well,
Speaker 1: and he can work you under he does different things.
Speaker 1: He's an a one stop shop cund of player, so
Speaker 1: he's definitely one of those you have to look out to,
Speaker 1: and you can't just let him go to Roaman on
Speaker 1: his own because he's he's got a really good tank
Speaker 1: on him. He won't realize it, but he can run
Speaker 1: really well and cover the ground really well, and he
Speaker 1: puts himself in a prime position early and is able
Speaker 1: to get to a contest early to be able to
Speaker 1: mock the ball.
Speaker 2: And it's actually crazy that he has such a tank,
Speaker 2: given that everyone knows that he used to just punch darts.
Speaker 1: He does anymore.
Speaker 3: That's just the best, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine just like swinging into calls picking up
Speaker 2: a pack on the way to training.
Speaker 3: It's a different.
Speaker 1: Time world nowadays. This is a different world nowadays. But
Speaker 1: Dusty kick three also and Melbourne finished off the game
Speaker 1: with kicking the last six goals, so they came home
Speaker 1: strong and got the win over Richmond in an important
Speaker 1: game for them in the top four of standings.
Speaker 2: I think the last couple of weeks has really changed
Speaker 2: up this whole two horse race thing that you wouldn't
Speaker 2: have been really buying into because you're one of the
Speaker 2: two horses, mate. But you know, I feel like no
Speaker 2: one in the top eight would be scared of another
Speaker 2: team in the top eight.
Speaker 3: You know what won't get beaten.
Speaker 2: They've won thirteen in a row and then they come
Speaker 2: out and they lose the next two and you're like, wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: they can be beaten. Same with Collingwood, same with well
Speaker 2: maybe not the Giants, but time will tell.
Speaker 1: Mase Tal We'll go into the last game before the
Speaker 1: Collingwood game, this one out in the West. It was
Speaker 1: a big one. We were looking forward to the West
Speaker 1: Coast Eagles playing at North Melbourne at Optus Oval, and
Speaker 1: West Coast gets the W gets the WS sixteen game.
Speaker 1: Drought is over. Brandon. They win in the West in
Speaker 1: front of thirty eight thousand fans. Shout out to the
Speaker 1: fans that came. That is absolute fandom through thick and thin.
Speaker 2: Now I reckon most of those would probably been North fans,
Speaker 2: but maybe a few West Coast fans showed up. Now
Speaker 2: I was going into this one, my expectations were, you know,
Speaker 2: if West Coast lose the North at home, yeah, bad,
Speaker 2: terrible for West Coast. They're way behind they're going to
Speaker 2: take years to kind of dig themselves out of this thing.
Speaker 2: If North go over there and get pumped by West
Speaker 2: Coast bad So this was probably the best kind of
Speaker 2: case result, close game between these two and you know,
Speaker 2: West Coast gets to win at home, which you probably
Speaker 2: expect in the end. But it didn't look good early
Speaker 2: thirty eight to seven before North really got in the
Speaker 2: car and turned the key on and started revenue thing up,
Speaker 2: because it didn't look like much was going to happen
Speaker 2: there for a bit, and then it turned into a
Speaker 2: bit of a bun. They're going to have to call
Speaker 2: the fire brigade.
Speaker 1: They're both on twenty Premiership points at the moment. Like
Speaker 1: I said, North as the leading percentage though, and North
Speaker 1: did come back after thirty two points down at three
Speaker 1: quarter times to almost win, which is an effort we
Speaker 1: was talking about weekend week out, talked about with Hawthorne,
Speaker 1: these teams that you know are quote unquote building as
Speaker 1: they say, yeah, it's a big game for North, like
Speaker 1: this is the last time they'll have their coach since
Speaker 1: a Clocko is coming back on Monday.
Speaker 3: So I thought something terrible at.
Speaker 1: The interim coach obviously, and he's taken over, he's had
Speaker 1: I think it was like ten losses in a row unfortunately,
Speaker 1: but this is just facts. Bradon. I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of them. But yeah, and Clarko comes back on Monday,
Speaker 1: so that would be a big, interesting, little I guess
Speaker 1: change at the club to have to have him back
Speaker 1: at the Helm.
Speaker 3: Interesting to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they get another little sugar hit to be like,
Speaker 2: oh we got clark go back last a couple of rounds,
Speaker 2: see how we go last time?
Speaker 1: Remember Clarko with North Melbourne. He was jumping up and
Speaker 1: down on the sideline. Yeah, he was at the very
Speaker 1: beginning of the season.
Speaker 3: He was very pumped.
Speaker 2: Now, hopefully West Coast, you know, as they wrap up
Speaker 2: this season can show just a bit of something to
Speaker 2: entice these players to stay that I want to see.
Speaker 2: You know, Tom barrass there's been a bit of talk
Speaker 2: about him maybe departing the club at the end of
Speaker 2: the year. I don't think they could afford to lose
Speaker 2: a key defender when you got you figure they've got
Speaker 2: a few of these older boys, you know, wrapping up
Speaker 2: their careers and Oscar Allen I would be selling the
Speaker 2: farm to keep that guy.
Speaker 3: He's kicking bags when they're both sides of the ground
Speaker 3: and they're down the bottom.
Speaker 1: He's played every position this year for that club.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, you'd have to throw the farm at
Speaker 2: him because he's all you got at this point in time.
Speaker 1: There's other good players there, but he's he's definitely being
Speaker 1: the standout at the moment. And he's a hell of
Speaker 1: a player that's really blossomed since Kennedy's retired. So it's
Speaker 1: it's been great seeing him killing over there.
Speaker 2: If you had to say a couple of cliches, what
Speaker 2: do you want? What do you want from the boys?
Speaker 2: Four quarter effort?
Speaker 1: Just four quarter? Just run it out from West Coast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just take it, take it minute by minute. Four quarter
Speaker 1: effort boys. And you know, if we stick to our
Speaker 1: game plan, we stick to our structure, everyone plays their role,
Speaker 1: we'll get the win.
Speaker 3: Let's win the quarterboys win the quarter.
Speaker 1: Win the quarter. That's it. We'll get into the last one. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the Friday night clash between the arch rivals Collingwood and Carlton,
Speaker 1: and Corno kicks six. He kicks six, and he's leading
Speaker 1: the Coleman still still still up there and going really well.
Speaker 1: And I think people are question marks over him whenever
Speaker 1: he if you could kick that many goals again, you know,
Speaker 1: because obviously he's playing West Coast and had I think ten,
Speaker 1: I think once, and kick nine again and over the
Speaker 1: weekend you kick six.
Speaker 3: So shut down the haters.
Speaker 1: Just down the haters to a degree.
Speaker 2: Like it's still true that you kicked nineteen against West Coast,
Speaker 2: but to kick six against Collingwood massive, And yeah, I
Speaker 2: looked at this is you kind of you want to
Speaker 2: play to your strengths, right, which are your strength scoring
Speaker 2: from the back line, so you don't want to really
Speaker 2: there's always a balance. It would seem that it's like
Speaker 2: do we hard shut down one of these key forwards
Speaker 2: or do we let our guys you know, run off
Speaker 2: and kind of make players from the back line. And
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes it can result in players like
Speaker 2: Kerno kicking six because you know, you want to play
Speaker 2: to your strengths. And I feel like that's a very
Speaker 2: you know, positive mindset for footy. So I feel like
Speaker 2: something like this can happen every now and then. And
Speaker 2: it's you know, the player the caliber of Kerner, who's
Speaker 2: been on fire since Harry went out and there's just
Speaker 2: a dynamic there. And he got asked after the game,
Speaker 2: what do you think of the whole situation? But it'll
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how that plays out as they
Speaker 2: move forward. Eighty six thousand, you knocked over that million
Speaker 2: mark and you're just you're storming on. I think you
Speaker 2: had You've got like three of the four biggest games
Speaker 2: this year or something, So it's true they just keep
Speaker 2: showing up. Now let's get into the game. But I
Speaker 2: don't want it to be somber, because I feel like
Speaker 2: we can take some stuff out of this. I had
Speaker 2: so many Collingwood fans in my mensions just burning it.
Speaker 1: Then I stayed off the Socials for the weekend, bro,
Speaker 1: and I actually ducked out here. I want to sit
Speaker 1: hey over the weekend Sydney.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I booked a flight at twelve thirty on Friday night.
Speaker 3: I saw it.
Speaker 1: Right after that guy approached your table. After the table,
Speaker 1: I go, I think it's about fucking time for me
Speaker 1: to get out of here.
Speaker 2: I need to be exactly one stayed away from this man.
Speaker 3: It's like for both of our sakes.
Speaker 2: Now, one thing that came out of the game a
Speaker 2: bit of a swing swing man we talk about Harry
Speaker 2: Petty free falling.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Jeremy How, I don't know if you heard of him,
Speaker 2: but he used to be a Ford for Melbourne, came
Speaker 2: in and now he's playing Ford for Colling would kick
Speaker 2: three in a quarter from everywhere. He just looked in
Speaker 2: a team that was just riddled with inaccuracies. On the night,
Speaker 2: Jeremy How just went up Ford and dead eyed Dick,
Speaker 2: one of our brothers. He just went forward and snagged three.
Speaker 3: Good to see.
Speaker 1: Snag three all on the fourth quarter. And then we
Speaker 1: had a big one Jammy Elliott that hangar he took
Speaker 1: good Lord Undersold And you know of the Year No, no,
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why because when they butcher the commentary,
Speaker 1: it never gets much we s about it. We had
Speaker 1: goal of the Year. It just looked like they didn't
Speaker 1: even know he was kicking a goal. On the commentary.
Speaker 3: It was like Bruce as well and He's like, this
Speaker 3: could be a goal. It is a goal. Wow. But
Speaker 3: this was worse.
Speaker 2: This was They're like, oh, Markov what because he's got
Speaker 2: the same colored boots as Markov?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what why is Markov's streaming outside.
Speaker 1: Watching people's But you know it was a good mark.
Speaker 2: It was a great mark, very reminiscent of a few
Speaker 2: of his marks. I think he took one over at
Speaker 2: like Port Adelaide. I think he might have took one
Speaker 2: against the Gold Coast, very similar van. He gets right
Speaker 2: up and then he.
Speaker 1: Gets a little pop off the shoulders just to.
Speaker 2: Jump up there now unfortunately, and I put him in
Speaker 2: it here. He was very anaccurate on the night, which
Speaker 2: he's been clutched for the last three four weeks, and
Speaker 2: he wasn't the only one. It was probably definitely the
Speaker 2: biggest difference in the game. I feel like you were
Speaker 2: winning like a lot of key stats and just couldn't
Speaker 2: get it done on the board, which is hasn't been
Speaker 2: your problem. Oh yeah, it's kind of been what's been
Speaker 2: saving you in a few occasions where you'll just be
Speaker 2: like insanely accurate. And it even came out last quarter
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, they're on again, but instead of
Speaker 2: kicking the first two goals, you kicked the first two
Speaker 2: points and it was kind of, you know, a bit
Speaker 2: of a wash from there. But there was a moment
Speaker 2: from you before you got subbed out, which you were
Speaker 2: talking about where you check the back of someone's jumper
Speaker 2: just to figure out who they were.
Speaker 1: Was that what was going on?
Speaker 2: Or you just with that GPS was like, mate, your
Speaker 2: GPS is let me fix that up for let's jump
Speaker 2: into this sub because you were subbed out of the
Speaker 2: game now on the surface to kind of look like,
Speaker 2: you know, it happened when everything moved around, So how
Speaker 2: went forward from defense?
Speaker 3: A bit of speed off the back line.
Speaker 2: I guess it was, you know, fly kind of moving
Speaker 2: the magnets and you were kind of the casualty of that.
Speaker 2: It showed you on the bench you looked maybe a
Speaker 2: little myth. I won't put any words in your mouth,
Speaker 2: but how are you feeling on it?
Speaker 1: That was? I mean, like, obviously not the best game
Speaker 1: I've ever had in my life. These things do happen, Brandon.
Speaker 1: I wish I'd played, you know, the best game every
Speaker 1: single game, but these things do happen. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: was I was subbed under the understanding probably obviously not
Speaker 1: playing the best game having the biggest impact. So they
Speaker 1: wanted to move a few things around. And you know,
Speaker 1: as a player you always want to Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to back yourself in, like you want to be out
Speaker 1: there trying to help the team win. So obviously it's
Speaker 1: not the greatest news whenever someone says you're subbed. So
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a walk down the sideline
Speaker 1: just to you know, it was far but yeah, and
Speaker 1: then went to the back and then sat there and yeah,
Speaker 1: I just you know, watch the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. It wasn't the greatest day of
Speaker 1: my life. I will say that, but like I said,
Speaker 1: you know, these things happen, and you're not always going
Speaker 1: to be playing your best footy every single game, and
Speaker 1: you just got to go back into the into the lab,
Speaker 1: as they say, and just keep training, get better, I
Speaker 1: think is the way to put it. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a frustrating night, so at least, and I think it
Speaker 1: was probably from what everyone keeps it was very well
Speaker 1: shown on my face.
Speaker 2: And that's what I don't want to get into it,
Speaker 2: like it's a funeral, Like you were subbed out of
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 3: It's not that crazy to happen.
Speaker 2: Someone's got to get subbed out every single week and
Speaker 2: it just so happened to be you this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, these things happen. Bigger adversity the season,
Speaker 1: my life believed me. I've been through plenty of back
Speaker 1: but it always good. I think after the game, like
Speaker 1: obviously a bit frustrated, but I think whenever you're in
Speaker 1: these these moments in life where you maybe not not
Speaker 1: having the best day or whoever, it is, like after
Speaker 1: the game, had four amazing friends and we just sat down,
Speaker 1: had dinner together and it was just brought me back
Speaker 1: to reality of just like the important things in life
Speaker 1: and you know, life does go on. And it was
Speaker 1: fortunate enough, like I said, to just get out of
Speaker 1: town for a little bit, spent some time Sydney, refresh
Speaker 1: and kind of reseat and be able to look forward
Speaker 1: to this week. So yeah, it's yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: these things, it's all part of the journey, you know,
Speaker 1: to look at probably the overall thing rather than just
Speaker 1: the time being, and you know, just look forward to
Speaker 1: the opportunity.
Speaker 2: And I think it was a bit of you know,
Speaker 2: doom and gloom from everything. When you lose to Carton,
Speaker 2: it's not just a loss, it's a loss to the
Speaker 2: art rival. So yeah, I think everyone needs to take
Speaker 2: a breath and calm down because they're calling.
Speaker 3: For heads everywhere.
Speaker 2: If they took every head, that was suggested on Twitter
Speaker 2: over the weekend, you'd be running out there with fly
Speaker 2: and like maybe a couple of coaches and a couple
Speaker 2: of VFL players, and you know, see how it goes.
Speaker 2: But it's not that bad. You have one loss, You've
Speaker 2: had a number of wins this season. You're still sitting
Speaker 2: on top of the ladder. So we reset and we
Speaker 2: go again, and it's against Hawthorne next week.
Speaker 3: Now that'll be.
Speaker 2: A hum dinger seeing what they did on the weekend
Speaker 2: coming of the loss to Saint Kilda, but hopefully, you know,
Speaker 2: get the dub, get the train back on the tracks
Speaker 2: and cruise back into finals.
Speaker 1: Mass I said, well, we won't end on a depressing note.
Speaker 1: We will end on a positive note. Braidon and we're
Speaker 1: going to start a little new segment here at the
Speaker 1: most Cockshower going to do a bit of what we're
Speaker 1: looking forward to. I think it's a bit of positivity,
Speaker 1: and the podcast is always that prime, so we're going
Speaker 1: to ask you exactly what you're looking forward to this
Speaker 1: week and what people should be enjoying.
Speaker 3: I like this a bit of positivity.
Speaker 2: Well, I am looking forward to getting out of this
Speaker 2: jumper now because I just spilled my drink.
Speaker 1: You're all over yourself. Monday night weekends.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we don't get weekends. The weeks don't end, mate,
Speaker 2: so I just roll one into another. Now, That's part
Speaker 2: of what my looking forward to is. I'm actually working
Speaker 2: on quite a big project at the moment, which I'm
Speaker 2: kind of keeping on the on the d L. But
Speaker 2: I've been my Actually, as I say this, my eyelids
Speaker 2: are twitching because I'm running on.
Speaker 3: About four hours a night.
Speaker 2: Plaster hand which is yeah, it kind of looks weird
Speaker 2: blue plaster, you know.
Speaker 1: Is this one of those things like the merch We're
Speaker 1: going to tease on it for about three months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, merchanes out. Everyone check it out. I
Speaker 1: actually saw someone someone sent me a phone the other day,
Speaker 1: older lady filling up her petrol tank with our shirt on,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, and she said she went
Speaker 1: up to him and was like she was so excited,
Speaker 1: just a happy, lovely lady. I'm sure she might be
Speaker 1: listening now, and I just want to say a massive
Speaker 1: shout out. You're an absolute legend, and I hope you've
Speaker 1: filled that thing up and had a fantastic day.
Speaker 3: Oh it's a bit we've been having.
Speaker 2: There's been like watch parties and stuff, but like people
Speaker 2: are all like fully decked out in our merchant.
Speaker 1: No seriously amazing, amazing community building for it. I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to the Women's World Cup. Australia's playing actually missed.
Speaker 1: Now by the time this actually comes out, Australia will
Speaker 1: either have one or a loss against Canada.
Speaker 2: Give us some both reactions. Australia one mace no Canada.
Speaker 3: Canada will be this mace fucking.
Speaker 1: Canada, Canada, and they'll play, shake our hand, be so
Speaker 1: nice and buy sweets after.
Speaker 3: Big win, a big win.
Speaker 1: But now I'm looking forward to that and hopefully Sam
Speaker 1: Kirk gets to get to play and makes an impact.
Speaker 1: But we won't know. Once this comes out, everyone will
Speaker 1: obviously know, but which would be exciting. So we're predicting
Speaker 1: the future. Yeah, but that is what we're looking forward to.
