Speaker 1: Hey, legends, welcome back to the Mason Cock Show. Massive,
Speaker 1: massive episode. Today. We're gonna cover some Olympic stuff because honestly,
Speaker 1: that is everything everyone wants talking about right now. But
Speaker 1: we are gonna get into Pototy, also Essendon, Sydney, it
Speaker 1: going on there. We're gonna cover that. And then also
Speaker 1: this big week you can almost say its someone's four
Speaker 1: hundred game, which is a huge accomplishment. We talk about
Speaker 1: that much much more obviously, Scott Piondabury playing his four
Speaker 1: hundred game against the arch rival Carlton. That's a big one.
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive into that one and much much more
Speaker 1: starting on this episode, starting now. All right, legends plenty
Speaker 1: to cover, as we mentioned in this podcast, without further ado,
Speaker 1: let's get straight into this bread and welcome. I am disgustedson,
Speaker 1: how your negativy at the beginning of these things. It's
Speaker 1: always every every week you're just firing off on someone.
Speaker 2: I'm throwing a cavball in this one because I was
Speaker 2: driving home late last night and I put on the
Speaker 2: radio as I do, just unwined and forget about my life.
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what everyone does?
Speaker 2: And I was driving home and I felt like smashing
Speaker 2: my car into the side concrete walls on the highway
Speaker 2: because I heard a song on the radio that did
Speaker 2: not meld well with my ears. I felt like scratching
Speaker 2: my ear drums out and stabbing them in with pencils. Hey,
Speaker 2: I feel like everyone lies about Nickelback.
Speaker 1: He talks.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Actually, someone was saying last last week. I think
Speaker 2: it's just because you're a footballer and the podcast is
Speaker 2: named after you. But they were like, oh, I loved
Speaker 2: hearing Mason sing. That was great, And then they were like,
Speaker 2: Bryden never ever sing again. But I'll tell you what,
Speaker 2: I could do a better job than Katie Perry's going
Speaker 2: to do it this year's Grand Final because I heard
Speaker 2: her new song whatever the crap it was called, and
Speaker 2: it it was that bad. They owned it in They
Speaker 2: would have wrote that thing in like thirty seconds, and
Speaker 2: it was like, it's the worst thing. And her new
Speaker 2: album is getting like just absolutely smashed, Like if this
Speaker 2: single they normally pick out the best single, and they
Speaker 2: released that if this is the best of what's what's
Speaker 2: on this album? Oh my goodness, and no wonder we
Speaker 2: got her for the Grand Final. It's like We don't
Speaker 2: get them when they're on the way up. We get
Speaker 2: them when they're coming back down and oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they're playing this and I don't know. I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not a catchy tune.
Speaker 2: It's not going to go off at the MCG Grand
Speaker 2: Final day and no one's going to be singing that.
Speaker 3: It's it's that, it's going to be singing raw.
Speaker 1: That's all we want to hear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, surely there's I've heard a couple of segments on
Speaker 2: the radio and they're like, oh, what's your favorite Katy
Speaker 2: Perry song? And like, no one can think of many?
Speaker 2: Popping to mind. What's the one with Snoop Dogg in it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, the one with the sharks and stuff
Speaker 1: jumping around and sing in the dancing, the other one
Speaker 1: I do. Look. My favorite quote, or probably line of
Speaker 1: Katy Perry, and this is a word for word line
Speaker 1: in one of her songs is do you ever feel
Speaker 1: like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to
Speaker 1: start again?
Speaker 3: That's what you do.
Speaker 1: Writing these things? Someone just driving home like you're saying depressed,
Speaker 1: his hell, listen to the radio seeing a plastic bag
Speaker 1: rolled across go I've actually got a great line for that.
Speaker 3: The next single, it's yeah, it's shocking.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like normally you get ghost writers to
Speaker 2: make your songs better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I mean she's you know, I
Speaker 1: can't really talk to us. She's actually a Texas born native,
Speaker 1: so she's one of me.
Speaker 3: Makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Were we goes to my clanger? That's your clanger, rights,
Speaker 1: Harmy Thomas. I know if you saw us over the weekend,
Speaker 1: she's the waist, an absolute open goal, nothing between him
Speaker 1: and the goal square and except for Jesse Hogan, maybe
Speaker 1: you kind of got in the way. Whenever we tried
Speaker 1: to kick the goal. It couldn't have been out what
Speaker 1: they called out the back or something the goose or
Speaker 1: really Joe the goose kind of thing. Yeah, that thing
Speaker 1: the umpires and not commentators say all the time, Joel
Speaker 1: the goose and he's out the back and he kicks
Speaker 1: it into his own teammate. There's no one else there,
Speaker 1: like truly, you do the unselfish act and you just
Speaker 1: give the handball let him, can it now? Now it
Speaker 1: gets a bit gets a bit selfish, goes for the
Speaker 1: goals and yeah it wasn't a pretty sight. I feel
Speaker 1: it wasn't a pretty.
Speaker 2: Such Jesse Hogan has taken a lot of one on
Speaker 2: one marks.
Speaker 3: Not a lot of spill into ground.
Speaker 2: He wins something like forty five percent of one on
Speaker 2: one content. Serious. So yeah, So when you're a small
Speaker 2: forward and you're running, Jesse Hogan's not giving you many
Speaker 2: crumbs to eat, so you got to just take what
Speaker 2: you can take.
Speaker 1: He's probably gone, Jesse, you're a bit selfish taking so
Speaker 1: much from us.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. For that one on one stature he just marks.
Speaker 1: That's absurd. Well, he also plays deepest, which is easiest
Speaker 1: one on one spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you would do the same if you were.
Speaker 3: Do you play deepest?
Speaker 1: I never to play deepest, because I'm the guy that
Speaker 1: stands there and they kick to me and everyone jumps
Speaker 1: on top of me, and then we go from there
Speaker 1: to the deepest, which is one on one appabat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the trampoline.
Speaker 1: I'm essentially the Empire steep building that's getting it jumped
Speaker 1: on by King Kong.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you just because I don't know the answer,
Speaker 2: but we can. We can do this after the fact.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Joe the goosey is like, where
Speaker 2: did that saying come from?
Speaker 3: Where did it originate? And what does it mean? Originally?
Speaker 1: I have not it. Who's Joe is Joe the goose?
Speaker 1: Who is Joe?
Speaker 2: Is Joe the goose? Or is Joe the Goose's owner?
Speaker 1: I feel like, what's the step in rugby? They call
Speaker 1: it like a goose step?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the goosey goo goose step.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like something to do with that where you
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, you fake one thing, you
Speaker 1: actually do another. Joe the Goose, I don't know. Joe
Speaker 1: the goose just makes no sense to me. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do some researching or something. But
Speaker 1: this is Australia, right, we just make shit up. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest and half the stuff you guys say we say,
Speaker 1: I can say we now one of you, one of us.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. What's as you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Usa Beanie.
Speaker 2: We'll get to.
Speaker 3: We'll get to the results.
Speaker 2: Carlton big loss to Port Adelaide at home, which is
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. North Melbourne you know, hung in there for
Speaker 2: a while against Geelong, but eventually Geelong went over the top.
Speaker 3: Gold Coast first loss.
Speaker 2: At home this year in the Q clash, Brisbane on
Speaker 2: fire Saint Kilda, massive win both on the scoreboard and
Speaker 2: just in general against Essendon, where are they at Melbourne?
Speaker 2: Big loss, big loss at home, close game, but they
Speaker 2: needed that one. Freo eventually got over the top of
Speaker 2: West Coast. It looked very dicey in the first half
Speaker 2: and West Coast beat them earlier in the year, so
Speaker 2: didn't know what was going to happen there. Collingwood finally
Speaker 2: got an win on the board against Richmond Sydney. That's
Speaker 2: probably the craziest loss of the round against Western Bulldogs
Speaker 2: who are just in absolute form. Adelaide went down to Hawthorne,
Speaker 2: who are just bullying teams at the moment. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: So let's jump straight into the hot topics. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: it doesn't get much hotter at the moment than the Olympics.
Speaker 2: So we'll start not in footy. You weren a USA beanie.
Speaker 2: I gotta ask you after tub who are you following
Speaker 2: or are you just taking both side?
Speaker 1: I'm following Australians, but I might split between the two right,
Speaker 1: So like gymnastics, I'll show he doesn't really have like
Speaker 1: a gymnastics team doing that. So like USA, right, so
Speaker 1: Mom Barle's ridiculous. I was learning a bit more about
Speaker 1: her and what she's doing, and like, she is incredible
Speaker 1: if you watch her do what she does and then
Speaker 1: you watch the competitors do the same thing, Like on
Speaker 1: the floor, she is doing stuff that just it makes
Speaker 1: the other people look childish. It looks like they're not
Speaker 1: even in the same league or it's like some amateur league.
Speaker 1: Before I'm like, it is insane. She's got out of
Speaker 1: the five competition things they do so like Matt's bars
Speaker 1: but beam kind of thing, all that stuff. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: Will ferrell Snoop Dogg. I think four out of the
Speaker 1: five she has individual like tricks like a stunts that
Speaker 1: you probably call it, yeah stunt she dies that are
Speaker 1: named after her because no one else in the history
Speaker 1: of gymnastics has been able to do it. That's wild.
Speaker 1: And then I think this one, if she debuts something
Speaker 1: on the bars, she's essentially got one in every single
Speaker 1: category named after her because no one else in like
Speaker 1: the world has ever been able to do it in
Speaker 1: a competition.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: And like, I just she is blowing my mind. I
Speaker 1: just kind of always like, yeah, she's a freak athlete.
Speaker 1: She's hell good at what she does. And I found
Speaker 1: out more of the details of kind of what she's
Speaker 1: doing and I was like, oh, this is like a
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime talent, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: What are you thinking of a move that you can
Speaker 2: pull out on the footy field? Calm down, they can
Speaker 2: call the cocks.
Speaker 3: Oh look he's whipped out the cooks.
Speaker 1: Oh the cocks. He's got to jump on by seven
Speaker 1: people this time now. Ah yeah, it's the unselfish bro
Speaker 1: rib and busted head. Yeah. Oh also big fan got
Speaker 1: shout out Jess Fox flag bearer for Australia one gold
Speaker 1: the other day and credit to her. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure being in that scenario and she, you know,
Speaker 1: had this heat where I think she was like eight,
Speaker 1: the one to say, and then she did really well
Speaker 1: in the last one, but because she was eight, she
Speaker 1: was like the first one to go and she had
Speaker 1: to wait for all the other competitors to go, so
Speaker 1: it was like a real nervous experience, but she won gold.
Speaker 1: Grawts to her absolutely amazing, great representative for Australia over
Speaker 1: there at the Olympic Games, and just want to give
Speaker 1: a massive shout to her. A pretty cool achievement and
Speaker 1: something every Australian should be proud of.
Speaker 2: What's the difference between a kayak and a canoe?
Speaker 1: A kayak and a canoe. A canoe has more than
Speaker 1: one person. I think it's a bit longer.
Speaker 3: He won gold in the canoeing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think they've competed yet, but
Speaker 1: I think she has' sister is competing in another kind
Speaker 1: of water sport that is like kayaker canoeing, but in
Speaker 1: a different type of it.
Speaker 2: Family.
Speaker 1: Also, she apparently speaks French.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, learning a lot learning heaps. I
Speaker 2: want to learn something else about this block that retrieves
Speaker 2: the swimming cat.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this was one of my favorite moments,
Speaker 1: probably the funniest moment, I would say, so far of
Speaker 1: the Olympic Games. A man who is I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's just like a on the side as a
Speaker 1: spectator or what, but he essentially gets called down to
Speaker 1: the pool for an emergency. Right, there's a swimming cap
Speaker 1: that has managed to come off someone's head or something
Speaker 1: and float down to the bottom of the pool. And
Speaker 1: this is a priority for some reason. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't I can't imagine it would affect anyone's time
Speaker 1: and they're swimming. But the man does what he has
Speaker 1: to do, and what he's there for is to take
Speaker 1: his shirt off, take his pants off, go straight into
Speaker 1: his jocks, strut around the pool, let the crowd get
Speaker 1: into it, dive headfirst in, grab the cap, give it
Speaker 1: a twirl, and get it out of there. It was
Speaker 1: actually is a really lovely moment because everyone, obviously, as
Speaker 1: soon as he got out of the pool was just yes,
Speaker 1: so yes, sir, well god absolutely legend. He had real
Speaker 1: bright jocks on too. It wasn't just like black. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just like white feels white.
Speaker 3: If he didn't didn't wear jocks that day, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2: I want to I think the same two questions that
Speaker 2: every listener would have on their mind right now. One,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't a swimmer just jump in and grab it?
Speaker 1: How cold was the pool?
Speaker 3: Third question, I just want to know what his rigs like?
Speaker 1: Good righ, he's an older fellow. You're right, he's probably
Speaker 1: involved in swimming in some capacity. I'm sure. I did
Speaker 1: find it weird that the people that swim didn't go
Speaker 1: in and get it, but maybe they want to stay
Speaker 1: dry for some reason something surely like there was a
Speaker 1: lifeguard there, but the lifeguard didn't jump in to get it,
Speaker 1: which I was like baffled by. I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this is your job.
Speaker 2: Well, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you dived in to
Speaker 2: save a swimming cap and someone drowned in the meantime?
Speaker 3: That wouldn't be great, would it?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 2: Gotto the world, brother, por he knows what he's there for.
Speaker 1: One more Olympic thing before we move on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I like to bring this up every time
Speaker 2: the Olympics is on. The most iconic moment, like maybe
Speaker 2: probably doesn't edge Kathy Freeman's run, but it's very close.
Speaker 3: Second Eric the Eel, the Heel.
Speaker 1: I only learned about this recently and it is one
Speaker 1: of the best stories ever.
Speaker 2: It's it's fun to go back and watch because it's
Speaker 2: very inspirational and it's very reminiscent of who's the old
Speaker 2: bloke that was ice skating and Stephen Bradbury Bradbury, Yeah, Bradbury,
Speaker 2: Brad's the cricketer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety nine point ninety six. Everyone I know, my
Speaker 1: Australian knowledge.
Speaker 2: Because that would have been on the citizen. But yeah,
Speaker 2: what were your impressions when you did see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty cool. I don't know, like I
Speaker 1: didn't understand Polly what was going on. And now I
Speaker 1: watched a bit of a documentary on him, and like
Speaker 1: he was training in like a twenty meter hotel pool
Speaker 1: around guests. That's how I trained for the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1: He had never seen the Olympic sized pool until he
Speaker 1: showed up at the Sydney Olympics and he's like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a lot bigger than I imagined, and it is
Speaker 1: quite daunting whenever you go up and you see how
Speaker 1: long the freaking pool is and all you've been doing
Speaker 1: his laps and this guy like I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: He looked like he had borrowed someone's goggles and was
Speaker 1: like jumped in and he got there, and then on
Speaker 1: the way back it kind of got a bit dicey.
Speaker 1: He kind of was like one of those things where
Speaker 1: I was I don't know that lifeguard might be getting
Speaker 1: getting his paycheck pay today, and credit to him. I
Speaker 1: want to put this out there though, because obviously, in
Speaker 1: like eight years, the Olympics are coming to Brisbane. They're
Speaker 1: doing that. Maybe the Gold Coasts a bit too. I'm
Speaker 1: putting a petition out there to get Eric the Eel back.
Speaker 1: Give him a second go. Let him wait, like better
Speaker 1: than I think the two minutes it took him to
Speaker 1: swim that. Let's give him a second go. You know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like from the Sydney Olympics to the
Speaker 1: next time the Olympics are in US Astralia, we need
Speaker 1: to see the evolution of the eel.
Speaker 2: And we're one hundred percent sure that Eric the Eel
Speaker 2: is alive.
Speaker 1: Nope, it's very similar to the lightning strike I we
Speaker 1: talked about. But Eric the Eel, we'll invite you back
Speaker 1: to Australia. If there's anyone else an equatorial New Guinea
Speaker 1: I think is raised from that's a swimmer, come along.
Speaker 1: We'll invite you too. We'll give you the whole pool
Speaker 1: to yourself again, buddy. It will have a whole crowd
Speaker 1: for you. I guarantee you we would be able to
Speaker 1: sell out tickets to watch you just dominate the pool band.
Speaker 2: I feel like that just gives me anxiety, Like I
Speaker 2: just get throwbacks to when I was like in the
Speaker 2: primary school swimming races, and I knew how slow I
Speaker 2: was going, and like in between strokes, you're looking up
Speaker 2: and everyone's just looking at you, like why is he going?
Speaker 3: What's he doing?
Speaker 2: Imagine that, but on the scale that is the entire
Speaker 2: planet Earth is watching it, swim this lap, doing anything
Speaker 2: in that. Man, many people are watching it.
Speaker 1: In so and you went out, there was three there
Speaker 1: and then the other two had like a false start,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, no, clear the pool. Clear the
Speaker 1: pool for the guy has never seen the Olympics side
Speaker 1: swimming pool. Let him have as much space as poss.
Speaker 2: If you're lining up next to Eric the Eel and
Speaker 2: you're like, ah, he's got me beat you're definitely doing
Speaker 2: the false start. You're not going to get beaten by Eric.
Speaker 1: You need to setup your game up. If he does
Speaker 1: that in Brisbane, I'm sorry, false started. Learn my lesson.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, he's been training in a twenty meter pool.
Speaker 2: Apparently I've never seen one. And I want to ask
Speaker 2: you this, what sports? Because they keep adding sports to
Speaker 2: the Olympics, all these crappy ones.
Speaker 3: Skateboarding pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I don't mind skateboarding, break dancing, okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're starting to get it's a pretty slippery slope. So
Speaker 2: I want to add in some crap of sports. No,
Speaker 2: what sports would you add to the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Well, flag football is coming to the US Olympics, which
Speaker 1: is interesting because it's a very American sport. NFL to
Speaker 1: be having that as an Olympic sport unique. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the oviest ones are like cricket AFL Nines, like
Speaker 1: rugby is already in it. I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: like some like maybe frisbee golf. Yeah, dude, that'd be
Speaker 1: six man. Have you seen some of the throws that
Speaker 1: do that'd be insane? Yeah. I think that's like a
Speaker 1: very skilled thing that's unique and different. That would be
Speaker 1: kind of cool to it.
Speaker 3: But it's a few of those golfs.
Speaker 2: The soccer golf, yes, oh yeah, soccer for soccer volleyball dude, yes.
Speaker 1: These guys are like doing like Coppa ware or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, kicking the ball over That is insane. Man,
Speaker 1: that's like straight up Brazil's winning that every year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to pick a sport where we can
Speaker 2: compete and it can't be drinking.
Speaker 1: Actually, that's a way, beer pong, that's way better sport.
Speaker 1: I'll just do that. Yeah, can you imagine? I reckon
Speaker 1: that would be the most followed Olympic event in the
Speaker 1: history of the Olympics. If you said, you know what
Speaker 1: we're doing, what's called the beer Olympics. Do that alongside?
Speaker 1: Why doesn't barstool figure this out?
Speaker 3: Isn't it like the Ocho Games? What's that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. We should be doing that. Like
Speaker 1: during COVID everyone did like the family games of like
Speaker 1: blowing like through a straw and trying to get something
Speaker 1: to the other side, and the quickest marble races and
Speaker 1: everything else.
Speaker 3: Like Olympics up in Nimburn.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that was a Yeah, no drug testing up there.
Speaker 2: You know you're got to run away with two buckets
Speaker 2: of product and and you got to run away from
Speaker 2: like the police that are chasing you and stuff. They
Speaker 2: like this is the little thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, check
Speaker 2: it out. That's probably similar. But we went I'm thinking
Speaker 2: like pickleball or something, just.
Speaker 1: Like I'm kidding, pile.
Speaker 2: I'll give you that anyway.
Speaker 1: Not hate me in the comments, like don't do that.
Speaker 2: You can't say a fl In Australia, everyone gets all
Speaker 2: shitty that you try to share their sport. How dare
Speaker 2: they jump into this one because everyone's talking about it,
Speaker 2: the dead sea gull that dropped from the sky in
Speaker 2: bomb in the Collingwood Rich game. Where were you when
Speaker 2: the when the seagull dropped from the sky and what
Speaker 2: are your your conspiracies on it?
Speaker 1: I legit, legit did not see it during the game.
Speaker 1: Always saw it wheneber utilally showed me. And this thing
Speaker 1: was wild, like it wasn't like a floated down. It
Speaker 1: was head first coming for the turf man like I
Speaker 1: don't know what it hit or what happened. I reckon
Speaker 1: it was assassination to him. I'm just starting out there.
Speaker 1: They missed and it clipped a wing and that thing
Speaker 1: went straight south. But no, I was it was absurd.
Speaker 1: And then the bird just kind of like got up.
Speaker 1: It was like that concussion protocols, no such thing. Let's go,
Speaker 1: let's move on, just kind of floats off and does
Speaker 1: himself just flies around the mcg gat knowing the shit
Speaker 1: other people.
Speaker 2: So we saw the seagull fall from the sky, and
Speaker 2: did we have eyes on Scott Pendlebury is there? He
Speaker 2: is he just the bird killer or he.
Speaker 1: Was the assassination guy.
Speaker 3: It's like something I gonna go. I'll be back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did get subbed in the fourth quarter. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if he's on the back of the bench
Speaker 1: or not. Maybe there's a question marks around that I
Speaker 1: can't confirm or deny it.
Speaker 2: Bro And he's sitting at the back of the bench
Speaker 2: and he's like puff a jacket and they're just blood
Speaker 2: on his face.
Speaker 1: Where'd you go?
Speaker 2: Bathroom?
Speaker 1: Bathroom, toilet? Right?
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's not keep harping on this because we might
Speaker 2: be Pendals needs to be available for his four hundredth
Speaker 2: He can't be arrested.
Speaker 1: Oh, before we move on from seagulls, I want to
Speaker 1: bring up another Olympic thing. This is an Olympic theme podcast.
Speaker 1: At the beginning, we're getting into footy, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but we need to go back to Seoul Soul, South Korea.
Speaker 1: I want to say, is where that's located? Is that correct? Yeah? Okay, correct,
Speaker 1: we'll fact check that later. Anyway, Soul in the Olympics. Right.
Speaker 1: I saw this video because obviously I'm getting pumped through
Speaker 1: my social media all this like Olympic stuff and the
Speaker 1: cauldron and Snoop Dogg holding the stuff and all its
Speaker 1: jazz happening, and there was this thing that popped up.
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the funniest, most crude,
Speaker 1: ridiculous videos. At the same time, it was in Soul.
Speaker 1: They're doing the big lighting the cauldron. There's two people there.
Speaker 1: There's like this massive kind of bowl they're about to
Speaker 1: light up to start the Olympic Games, and like awkwardly,
Speaker 1: as they're getting lifted up to this bowl, there's about
Speaker 1: thirty pigeons and like they almost looked like doves, they
Speaker 1: like white doves essentially, and they're sitting on the outside
Speaker 1: of this bowl that was doves wood and then public place,
Speaker 1: and they're sitting there with the flame, going, well, what
Speaker 1: do we do. We're not going to wait for them
Speaker 1: to leave, So they put it in there and I
Speaker 1: guess there's like, you know, flame in there, there's some
Speaker 1: gas going in there, and they light that and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the thing just goes fuck it
Speaker 1: like it's like a barbecue that had been kind of
Speaker 1: running a little bit too long on the gas line
Speaker 1: kind of puffs up and sends your eyebrows. It essentially that,
Speaker 1: but all those doves got absolutely singed, and one of
Speaker 1: them flew off and it looked like a rocket with
Speaker 1: the smoke trail coming from its ass at the joint.
Speaker 1: It was actually cooked bad. It was barbecued dove at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Olympics and soul and then it
Speaker 1: like there was a visual on it. And then it
Speaker 1: was like I could just hear in my head of
Speaker 1: like the producer in the background going cut to something else,
Speaker 1: get to anywhere else, but the dove's burning alive, and
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, we'll cut the people just clipping. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's better or worse.
Speaker 3: That's so bad.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Today Show one where the
Speaker 2: guy casts the They're like, oh, we'll give you one
Speaker 2: cast into this lake to see if he could catch
Speaker 2: this fish that was in the lake. Anyway, he starts
Speaker 2: reeling in and a duck shoots across and he hooks
Speaker 2: the duck and he's reeling the duck and he's turning around,
Speaker 2: he's turning he's turning around to the camera and he's like,
Speaker 2: cut to something else, cut something else, cut something else.
Speaker 2: They cut back to the studio and Karl Stefanovic says,
Speaker 2: picking duck anyone.
Speaker 3: So good.
Speaker 2: I can talk about Karl stefanovit clips. Have you seen
Speaker 2: the one, the one with Carl Stefanovic sits down.
Speaker 1: With the Gandhi, the Gandhy.
Speaker 2: Karl Stefanovic sits down with the Dala Lama and he says, says.
Speaker 2: The Dalai Lama walks into the pizza restaurant and he says,
Speaker 2: can you make me one with everything? And then Dalai
Speaker 2: Lama looks off to his translator, nods and looks back
Speaker 2: and he's like, you wouldn't work.
Speaker 1: What is this real? This is all Hi said that
Speaker 1: on live television.
Speaker 2: He tried to tell the Dalai Lama a joke. He said,
Speaker 2: you're going to a pizza restaurant, You're asked one with everything.
Speaker 1: That's the most Australian goes straight over his head. Anywayslation,
Speaker 1: let's move on to the next thing. Harry MacKaye play
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 3: I want to bring this up.
Speaker 2: This isn't like we can't say anything about this because
Speaker 2: we're not doctors, but we did speak about Harry MacKaye
Speaker 2: playing out the game, passing his hia not con cast
Speaker 2: and then unfortunate we put that to one side, and
Speaker 2: then through two incidents that aren't related in any way,
Speaker 2: shape or form. He was out late sick with illness
Speaker 2: before this game, So anyone thinking that those two things
Speaker 2: are related probably not.
Speaker 3: No, No, they're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I spe to the next thing anyway, So we
Speaker 1: go straight.
Speaker 2: Into the derby derby where fourteen players were fined in
Speaker 2: the game, and if they all take early, please, that's
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand, eight hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 3: They're just racking it up.
Speaker 1: That is, if I was going to have a hell
Speaker 1: of a Christmas party at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: can you have you reckon? We could you reckon? We
Speaker 1: could be invited to that party. I think maybe over
Speaker 1: one hundred k now, easy, easy, easy.
Speaker 3: I think they will tell you the wrong location.
Speaker 1: The nineteenth doll days and that's where it's at. They've
Speaker 1: have to invite me to a Brownlow that something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, Well, I don't know. They're raking in a
Speaker 2: lot of cash. I don't know about this system where
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: SEVENTYI was that Butter's playing proof last week?
Speaker 3: Jump the fence, Jump the fence around out.
Speaker 1: There the street. He's like five top of the tab.
Speaker 2: One of those isn't Harley Red, but most fights were
Speaker 2: about Harley Reed. Like he gets inside people's heads, but
Speaker 2: not intentionally. I don't reckon.
Speaker 3: He's really outseats.
Speaker 1: He's got a bit of spunk to him. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there was one whenever we played him last year,
Speaker 1: kind of me after I took a mirk and I
Speaker 1: kind of looked at him. I just kind of started smiling.
Speaker 1: It's just like he's a solid boy.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Some of these he's just he's got that confidence, a
Speaker 1: little bit of swag, and that's like as a young
Speaker 1: young fellow, and that's going really well.
Speaker 2: I love it some of the Yeah, some of these
Speaker 2: kids coming through. So there's like him, who's obviously great.
Speaker 2: There's like Hawthorn, Nick Watson and all of that from
Speaker 2: Hawthorne and stuff, all these really young players with all
Speaker 2: this swagger. Firstly, in your early days, like year one,
Speaker 2: year two, are you thinking speaking out You're talking to
Speaker 2: the old players telling him what to do. You're pushing them,
Speaker 2: shoving them your.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there in the corner like trying to
Speaker 1: translate what the hell was being said. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: even to today. I feel like I'm just kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're like, oh you big fella, just just
Speaker 1: go down line, mate, just just block or do something please.
Speaker 3: It's pretty wild.
Speaker 1: I like.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: I still think it's going to take a lot of
Speaker 2: Australians time to get up to speed with it, and
Speaker 2: clubs in general, Like, yeah, obviously it takes some kind
Speaker 2: of tick off for the coach to say that they're
Speaker 2: okay with it. I doubt Nick Watson's doing the ice
Speaker 2: in my veins and like they're taking photos with guinea
Speaker 2: and all of that stuff. If sam Mitchell had an
Speaker 2: issue with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But sam Mitchell's like kind of a bit younger
Speaker 1: than most coaches playing in the league, so I think
Speaker 1: he gets it. Yeah. And also he's like, oh, if
Speaker 1: this is who my players are and this is like
Speaker 1: kind of you know, the environment they want to be in,
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, Well, if he wants to go recruit,
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, we're having a good time. You can
Speaker 1: see it, like out on the field, like we're enjoying ourselves.
Speaker 1: Like you're going to have an enjoyable a few years
Speaker 1: here if you signed with us, Like it's almost like
Speaker 1: a selling point two at times. Yeah, So this new
Speaker 1: generation of kids coming through, they're like, oh wait, I
Speaker 1: can just be on social media and I get like
Speaker 1: berated by the you know, the media team and everyone
Speaker 1: else saying like you can't do anything, you have to
Speaker 1: fit inside this box and be a robot. Oh I
Speaker 1: can just be myself sick, Like, I'm all down for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I look at someone like Bailey Smith who is out
Speaker 2: of contract looking for somewhere to go reportedly, and he
Speaker 2: would slot straight into that. He actually did the ice
Speaker 2: in my veins, he was like one of the first
Speaker 2: guys to do it. So yeah, it is a good
Speaker 2: selling point, marketing point for some of these young, exciting
Speaker 2: players coming through. This one was brought up during the
Speaker 2: week from the GWS team GWS Giants team grad they're
Speaker 2: the Orange Ones, Orange team actually yeah, and I love them,
Speaker 2: So I don't need this because I know all of
Speaker 2: the players, their dates of birth, their height. I don't
Speaker 2: know they're playing weight because we're not allowed to anymore.
Speaker 2: But they want to put players names on the back
Speaker 2: of footy jumpers. Yeap, are you four or against that?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the pros and cons of
Speaker 2: having players' names on the back of their jumper.
Speaker 1: I'm off for it. Or warm up tops have our
Speaker 1: names on the back of them, so like if you
Speaker 1: see it's warm up like you can see it's like
Speaker 1: big forty six and then Cocks above it. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: if you want to see like a visual what looks like,
Speaker 1: just look at our kind of warm up tops and
Speaker 1: it actually looks fine. I don't think it's like out
Speaker 1: of place, but I think there's this I don't know
Speaker 1: why people hate it so much and have such a
Speaker 1: problem with it, Like what's the what's the downside to it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know if people hate it, they.
Speaker 1: Didn't complain about someone knowing who they are.
Speaker 2: I did it for around or whatever, like years ago,
Speaker 2: and I think it's great for well player recognition if
Speaker 2: you've got like kids going to the game and stuff
Speaker 2: like who's that tall as Oh, it's Mason Cocks. And
Speaker 2: then I think it's great for sales when you change
Speaker 2: jumpers and you change players names and stuff like if
Speaker 2: I bought number four forty six on the back of
Speaker 2: my jumper and then heaven forbid in five six years
Speaker 2: when you retire, some some spud comes through and starts
Speaker 2: wearing forty six. I want him to know that I
Speaker 2: got the big Coxy's number on the back. I don't
Speaker 2: want to be associated with him like you. It kind
Speaker 2: of cements that in a moment in time because you
Speaker 2: see a lot of that as well. You get it
Speaker 2: and a player gets traded away and someone takes his
Speaker 2: jumping number and stuff like that. So it's great for
Speaker 2: sales because like each time the new jumper comes out,
Speaker 2: you've got to upgrade it. You got the name on
Speaker 2: the back and all of that stuff. You can't wear
Speaker 2: it forever because if they do move on, you've got
Speaker 2: to buy the new thing. So that's that's a sales tactic.
Speaker 1: Probably a controversial thing. But like why do we have numbers?
Speaker 1: Uh hm? Is there ever ever thought about this? Like
Speaker 1: why don't we just have something else, Like would be
Speaker 1: cool to have like a now like Jammy Elliott be
Speaker 1: like a zebras. Why do we have numbers? I know
Speaker 1: it's a way of identifying players, but like, surely just
Speaker 1: everyone knows their name. If you don't know their name,
Speaker 1: then like we can have another way to be able
Speaker 1: to name.
Speaker 2: For stats, you can see numbers big from ages away
Speaker 2: and then you couldn't fit a full like imagine trying
Speaker 2: to fit Marcus Bontompelli like in big riding on a
Speaker 2: back and then see it from ages away. You just
Speaker 2: see that he's number. What number is he harrow number?
Speaker 1: For?
Speaker 2: Everyone knows that good pass there now because of that,
Speaker 2: This is a byproduct question that I had. Should all
Speaker 2: players in the AFL where protective headgear helmets?
Speaker 1: Oh, we're getting there, We are getting there. I think
Speaker 1: you see in the NFL now like their preseason training
Speaker 1: camps and stuff, they have to wear kind of like
Speaker 1: a bubble helmet around their actual helmets.
Speaker 3: Seen crazy, that's huge.
Speaker 1: It makes them look like bumble massive. Yeah, So there
Speaker 1: has been like precautions obviously, and that's like one of
Speaker 1: the kind of leagues that I think a lot of
Speaker 1: leagues look to for advice and where they're going and
Speaker 1: how it's all happening. If you look at that and
Speaker 1: the trend that's going that direction, like I think it
Speaker 1: actually will be probably required at some point in the future.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure when that point is going to be,
Speaker 1: but obviously with more information coming around concussion and everything else,
Speaker 1: like it is going to be one of those things.
Speaker 1: It's just a requirement. I think it takes a few
Speaker 1: people to do it to like make it, you know,
Speaker 1: not a stigma, and then like everyone starts doing it
Speaker 1: and then it's like all part of it. Right. It's
Speaker 1: kind of a weird thing though, because Australia doesn't like change.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I've realized, Like, I mean, you've worn
Speaker 1: the same sleeveless jumpers in the middle of winter for
Speaker 1: no reason. You've worn the same booty shorts they're short
Speaker 1: as hell during the middle of winter. Also, like you
Speaker 1: think at some point someone and then like people get
Speaker 1: shipped for wearing long sleeves, and it's like you think,
Speaker 1: at some point we would just go, oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: freezing cold outside, like that would probably be a lot
Speaker 1: more comfortable to wear long sleeves or wear like an
Speaker 1: undershirt underneath it or something like that, or you know,
Speaker 1: wear longer shorts.
Speaker 3: Maybe like the shorts thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know what if you're rolling out there in cargo.
Speaker 1: Shorts, any bets longer shorts, why couldn't we all do that?
Speaker 1: I think the clubs just don't want to deal with
Speaker 1: a different size short and have to make something unique.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, I think that the helmet thing. I feel
Speaker 2: like people say that the head is sacri saying, but
Speaker 2: then there's a heap of like exempt wear helmets.
Speaker 1: We'd better be having a name on the back of
Speaker 1: which jumpers'garding no idea.
Speaker 2: Who's well they go like the head sacks saying, oh
Speaker 2: we should all wear helmets. Nah, but then we don't
Speaker 2: get to see their faces. And their faces they're pretty
Speaker 2: and they market and they sell, so like or do
Speaker 2: the helmets just not do enough?
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I didn't know, Like hell danielhears a
Speaker 1: helmet all the time, right Yeah, And for the longest time,
Speaker 1: I actually, if you were to walked past milling Stream,
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have recognized him, just because my picture
Speaker 1: of him was always with the helmet on, because that's
Speaker 1: how I saw him in public sense, because it was
Speaker 1: always like on camera on the football field, right Yeah.
Speaker 1: So for a long time, like I just I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I probably wouldn't recognize him if he walked past me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I get that side of it, I do, But yeah,
Speaker 1: eventually I think we're all have to wear helmets. Give it.
Speaker 1: I'll give it fifteen years Brandon, you just write that down.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years, we're old, we wearing helmets.
Speaker 2: I've written that down. You get that cool. I want
Speaker 2: to pull this one out. I want to go into
Speaker 2: Simon Goodwin was cleared to coach on the weekend after
Speaker 2: spending three nights in hospital, which is pretty amazing. He
Speaker 2: was he copped an infection at the start of the
Speaker 2: week and that required an IV drip and they were
Speaker 2: saying that he was on the zooms for all the meetings,
Speaker 2: didn't miss a single meeting. I feel like that's one
Speaker 2: of those ones where miss a meeting, mate miss I.
Speaker 1: Mean, getting wins on the board for them pretty important
Speaker 1: at the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is like the the head Sacris saying,
Speaker 2: except for this, this and this, It's like we care
Speaker 2: for our people except for when we need our bloody win.
Speaker 2: Like they had the Harry situation, we have the Jeremy
Speaker 2: Cameron situation. It's like we are for people, but we
Speaker 2: still put wins over everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I don't know how serious this was
Speaker 1: throughout those three days, but in hospital it's obviously serious.
Speaker 1: But I mean, like he might have you know, been
Speaker 1: told you can't leave hospital for three days just in case,
Speaker 1: like the worst happens, right, Like I think I must
Speaker 1: some of my medical stuff and like you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to leave hospital for a certain amount just because you're
Speaker 1: going to need emergency you know, care right away. So
Speaker 1: I don't know that situation with him, but I mean
Speaker 1: he's a head coach and he loves his job. I'm assuming,
Speaker 1: so you know, you want to be involved in it,
Speaker 1: and I get that side of it, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: do have to. There's a certain point where it's like
Speaker 1: you know, with anything with health, it's like there's serious
Speaker 1: and there's like stuff that's like life threatening that you go,
Speaker 1: holy smokes, like I need to step away from football.
Speaker 1: And there's other things where maybe you're in hospital and
Speaker 1: you're kind of like on a drip, but like you're
Speaker 1: just sitting around all day and you go one might
Speaker 1: as well might as well be in meetings, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know the details to it,
Speaker 1: but I think it's a sign that he does care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we care for you, Simon.
Speaker 3: Get healthy, Get healthy, Simon.
Speaker 2: We'll jump into the big winners, none bigger than the
Speaker 2: Western Bulldogs.
Speaker 3: I think this week traveled up.
Speaker 2: To Sydney and starts the team that's on top of
Speaker 2: the ladder, and it's crazy. They're still a game and
Speaker 2: a half on top of the ladder and they've lost
Speaker 2: four of their last five. But we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: They are the King Slayers, the Western Bulldogs. They've beaten Sydney,
Speaker 2: Carlton and Geelong in the last three rounds. Jamara Huglehagen
Speaker 2: on fire again with four goals and Adam Trelaw our boy,
Speaker 2: Adam Trelaw forty odd touches again. He just racks them
Speaker 2: up every single week and I feel like he must
Speaker 2: just watch that clip. No actually knowing him, he doesn't
Speaker 2: care at all, but there's some people out there that
Speaker 2: would be watching.
Speaker 3: I be one.
Speaker 2: I put my hand up watching that all Australian selection
Speaker 2: video that Fox put together and no one mentioned his
Speaker 2: name one single time really, and he's been racking them
Speaker 2: up every single week. Last week he had thirty plus
Speaker 2: and kick three goals against Geelong in Geelong.
Speaker 1: And who's the Australia Rock this year, Brodie Grundy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not Adams for long?
Speaker 3: But are you interesting?
Speaker 2: Are you just thinking about Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's because that's the position I play and it's the
Speaker 1: best the best position.
Speaker 2: It's had a great year, very underrated year, but you
Speaker 2: probably just miss out because you're injured.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's the reasoning for sure. They get to
Speaker 1: that and they can't fit the jacket to make it
Speaker 1: big enough for me.
Speaker 2: That thread too much for the big brig.
Speaker 1: Crowd ads though, I do want to give to him
Speaker 1: because he's absolutely dominating. He's killing it. And credit to
Speaker 1: the West and Bulldogs because they are on that streak
Speaker 1: you could say, and the very end of the year
Speaker 1: where it's necessary to be able to have a bit
Speaker 1: of momentum going too finals. We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: that with some other teams, but credits West and Bulldogs
Speaker 1: are absolute killing it at the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you want to win games going into finals.
Speaker 2: Apparently that's a good sign that because we're getting into
Speaker 2: some of these Port Adelaide big win on the road
Speaker 2: because they definitely needed it and it gives them that
Speaker 2: little bit of because they come up against the Sydney
Speaker 2: Swes in Adelaide, which is, you know, a.
Speaker 3: Big, big team, big game for them.
Speaker 2: But Kenny Hinckley, he was you know, they sacked him
Speaker 2: the other week and he's done what Ken Hinckley does
Speaker 2: every year, gets his team to finals. But you know
Speaker 2: there's still a few games left to go. GWS on
Speaker 2: the road another big win for them getting over the
Speaker 2: line against Melbourne. Goodie coaching from his deathbed in hospital.
Speaker 2: We look at them and they're a team that is
Speaker 2: fine in form right now. Jesse Hogan is just dominating
Speaker 2: the competition. And Toby Green, who's been a bit down
Speaker 2: this season, he's really finding form and he's he's not
Speaker 2: only kicking goals, he's assisting. He's a lot of assists.
Speaker 2: Out of those three, who are you picking for the
Speaker 2: biggest win of the week.
Speaker 1: I want to go probably the Bulldogs. I think they've
Speaker 1: solidified the fact that they're a good team, not just
Speaker 1: a good team, a team that's going to make a
Speaker 1: Denton finals for sure. And then you look like two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, maybe people were going, oh, maybe they'll make finals.
Speaker 1: I'm not really too sure kind of thing.
Speaker 3: I've seen it before.
Speaker 2: Like that people are saying, like we've seen it before,
Speaker 2: but now there's.
Speaker 1: No question marks anymore. They're legit. So I think they're
Speaker 1: the big winners. Yeah, beating some of those top teams
Speaker 1: up there and doing it convincingly too is definitely a
Speaker 1: massive confidence booster for them going in the finals.
Speaker 2: It's going to be frustrating for their fans that it's
Speaker 2: like they always seem to leave their run really late,
Speaker 2: and even when they've made the Grand Final, they've done
Speaker 2: it from outside the top four, so they have to
Speaker 2: buck the trend of history to get there. But interesting,
Speaker 2: there's still a chance top four and it's got to
Speaker 2: give you that much confidence that you've beaten three of
Speaker 2: the top four teams if you're one of them. Like now,
Speaker 2: they just have to take on Freo and they another
Speaker 2: thing last round of the year for them, they have
Speaker 2: to go to Ballarat diverse gws.
Speaker 3: That's why I don't know who did that to him.
Speaker 2: But and we'll give a shout out to the Hawks
Speaker 2: because we can't talk about the Bulldogs without talking about
Speaker 2: Hawthorne because they're probably the two most informed teams in
Speaker 2: the comp and they're fighting for top eight.
Speaker 1: Slot and top eight might be top four pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Think always some of the teams are losing on the
Speaker 1: top fourth amament.
Speaker 2: So it's only in the top four right now. The
Speaker 2: super convincing team is obviously Brisbane. They're going to get
Speaker 2: Harris Andrews back because they sent Eric Eric the el
Speaker 2: Eric the hip Wood. They sent him back and he
Speaker 2: was holding on for grim life. So they need to
Speaker 2: get Harris and Andrews, Harris and Harris Andrews.
Speaker 1: Telling everyone Harrison True, Harris Andrews back out there, telling
Speaker 1: everyone what to do. Let's go into the losers.
Speaker 2: There's no bigger loser this week than the Essendon Football Club.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: It's rough because they've had a couple of, you know,
Speaker 2: bad losses, but this one. You go out there against
Speaker 2: Saints who aren't a chance to make finals. You're playing it,
Speaker 2: you know, you're both home grounds. Yeah, and you get
Speaker 2: flogged by fifty odd points. It's just your fans rock
Speaker 2: up and expect more than that. And to have that
Speaker 2: dished up when finals are like well and truly on
Speaker 2: the line there clinging to a spot in the eight
Speaker 2: when people thought they were a chance to finish in
Speaker 2: the top four at a stage only a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Very interesting. And how did you see that one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is it was a thrushover the weekend. That's
Speaker 1: not what their fans would want to see. They I
Speaker 1: saw this video of a fan throwing a scarf on
Speaker 1: the stands out onto the field at one point they
Speaker 1: were not happy. But the interesting thing is, like us
Speaker 1: not really riddled with injuries. I think Ridley is the
Speaker 1: only sorry the pun but Ridley's the only one I
Speaker 1: think that is probably in their best twenty three right now.
Speaker 1: He's got a little hip injury from the weekend, I
Speaker 1: want to say, But the rest of it, it's just them.
Speaker 1: They just need to find form. So I can understand
Speaker 1: as Essendon fans, I feel like Essendon fans are, you know,
Speaker 1: they're hesitant to get ahead of themselves. You could say,
Speaker 1: maybe like with their past experiences.
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, they're just tum traumatized.
Speaker 1: They're very traumatized. They have some psychology issues they needed
Speaker 1: to work out, that's for sure. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I still think they're a really good team. They're in
Speaker 1: that kind of mix of people just trying to find
Speaker 1: form going into the back of the back of the year.
Speaker 1: And if they can do it the next few weeks,
Speaker 1: you know, we can have this conversation and be on
Speaker 1: the other end of Essenon's a really good team. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they've shown their best and like that. They can get
Speaker 1: into finals and be a finals team that can do damage.
Speaker 1: But right now they just need to get back to
Speaker 1: their best, really into better ways than what they're playing
Speaker 1: right now. I think is a pretty easy statement they
Speaker 1: would probably agree with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me of a couple of my favorite
Speaker 2: talkback calls of all time. The block that was a
Speaker 2: Richmond supporter and put his membership in the microwave. Gosh
Speaker 2: and the guy they called up and said that he's
Speaker 2: spewed over himself.
Speaker 1: Oh that's I'll let you play that one.
Speaker 3: I love some of those.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we actually just had a podcast come through
Speaker 2: here the other day and they said, one of the
Speaker 2: best money making ventures you could like come up with
Speaker 2: is selling tickets to people, to fans to have the
Speaker 2: opportunity to come in and spray the team. What so, Fly,
Speaker 2: you've had a massive loss? Fly goes all right, mate,
Speaker 2: over to over to the fans, then.
Speaker 1: Over to Jacko's words of encouragement.
Speaker 2: He walks in there, He's like, fucking what were you doing?
Speaker 2: Mason Weeks pissed and he's gone around the room. I
Speaker 2: wonder how much you could charge for that experience?
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I mean you can charge whatever you want,
Speaker 1: but good luck getting out of those rooms. Some d
Speaker 1: teen off in front of me. I'd be like, yo,
Speaker 1: hommy out there, and no cameras inside the team room.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that that's betefit.
Speaker 2: That would have to be a bit of a revenue
Speaker 2: share model where the players get a little bit of
Speaker 2: kickback for just sitting there and comping it from JACKO.
Speaker 3: That's twenty pots.
Speaker 1: Then, well, they had what was it. Dave Hughes used
Speaker 1: to come out and give us spray to the boys,
Speaker 1: and it was that was something they used to do
Speaker 1: back in the day. But it was always kind of
Speaker 1: like a bit, you know. He was asking some players
Speaker 1: for some beef, you know, and something to kind of
Speaker 1: throw some players and whatnot, and he was funny that
Speaker 1: he's a good fellow. But yeah, I'd go five K
Speaker 1: five K, five K five K, and they'd be shipping
Speaker 1: themselves walking down the door. They wouldn't they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to tee off properly, and if they did t off,
Speaker 1: probably get to the point everyone just started laughing. Didn't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no way that they could. I don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I thought that was k quite hilarious. So we all
Speaker 2: seen the videos where they're coming from the ground. They're
Speaker 2: getting absolutely braided. Boom, people are shouting out all kinds
Speaker 2: of obscenities and stupid things. Obviously we don't condone that,
Speaker 2: but like, what effect does that have on a player.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine you're going to roll out there and
Speaker 2: go like, I can't wait to play another game for
Speaker 2: these fans that are just absolutely giving it to me.
Speaker 1: Someone that's been booed many times in his life. Give
Speaker 1: you a little word of full nugget of advice there, Brighton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not ideal, like you want obviously to be kind
Speaker 1: of like this community, feel of like us trying to
Speaker 1: reach this goal together, right, Yeah, Whenever you leave the
Speaker 1: field and people are berating you and saying you suck
Speaker 1: and everything else, it's like, well, that's not helping the situation,
Speaker 1: you know, like it's only making it worse. So I
Speaker 1: understand people get caught up in the emotions of the game,
Speaker 1: what's happened and all that kind of stuff, But I
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, you have to
Speaker 1: realize that, like, if you want a team to be successful,
Speaker 1: you need to support them when times are rough. That's
Speaker 1: the only way you're going to be able to get
Speaker 1: through that and ou at the other end to hopefully
Speaker 1: have success. So to the fans out there doing there, look,
Speaker 1: I get it, you're upset, understandable, but if you want
Speaker 1: your team to play finals, you want a team to
Speaker 1: be well, provide support rather than be very critical.
Speaker 2: We did talk about this last year when Carlton got
Speaker 2: booed from the ground heading into the buy period. We're
Speaker 2: getting absolutely braided, and then they turn their season around.
Speaker 2: So I'm still on the fence about whether booing doesn't work.
Speaker 2: I think maybe there's if we keep our mind open
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: They Carton, they made it all the way to the
Speaker 3: pre limb.
Speaker 1: Have you been booing the colin for a walk over
Speaker 1: the last four games? Is that you keep hearing.
Speaker 3: That does go just a boo?
Speaker 2: Mason, you suck and you're like you're sitting in the stands.
Speaker 1: I work with you.
Speaker 3: That's been me all this time.
Speaker 1: How many bb easy you had today?
Speaker 2: And calm down, just lull it up, jump into the
Speaker 2: Carton game because they are also big losers, although they
Speaker 2: are still up high up there on the ladder. It's
Speaker 2: just a question that everyone has now around Carlton's defense
Speaker 2: and whether that can take them all the way through finals,
Speaker 2: because I feel like their crowd we saw it last year,
Speaker 2: will give them a kick.
Speaker 3: They give them that adrenaline rush.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're currently sitting I believe it's second for
Speaker 2: scores four and somewhere around fourteenth for scores against. Yeah,
Speaker 2: heading into finals, no other team like up the top
Speaker 2: of the ladder is dealing with those kinds of numbers.
Speaker 2: Can they just absolutely staunch their way through it and
Speaker 2: just kick one hundred and twenty to one hundred or
Speaker 2: is it gonna be a problem come finals because what
Speaker 2: do we normally see in finals? Matter we see score shrink,
Speaker 2: defense gets tighter, defense wins premierships.
Speaker 1: It's very very true. Yeah, I'm not really too sure exactly.
Speaker 1: We'll go through it obviously with playing Carlton this week,
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of it people don't realize,
Speaker 1: like you know, whenever they say like defenses are struggling
Speaker 1: wherever it is, and they're like, go, okay, like let's
Speaker 1: blame this person, the key defender or the most known
Speaker 1: person in the back line, then you kind of think, okay, well,
Speaker 1: if you really break it down further it's like, well,
Speaker 1: how is it getting there? Is it, you know, something
Speaker 1: breaking down further off the field? Is it something where
Speaker 1: they're not keeping in the FOURD to fifty as much like,
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more that goes to that
Speaker 1: number that people don't realize. They just go, oh, all right,
Speaker 1: you're not going so well here, we're gon we're gonna
Speaker 1: patch you for this, But there's probably other things happening
Speaker 1: that are leading to that. I would say, probably then
Speaker 1: just blame it on one person. Yeah, I think like
Speaker 1: you said, whenever you get the finals, though, like they
Speaker 1: definitely want to figure out kind of where it's all
Speaker 1: kind of happening and make sure they have a locked
Speaker 1: in idea of how they're going to want to set
Speaker 1: up their defense and make sure that they're all connected
Speaker 1: and on the same page going into a finals campaign.
Speaker 1: I think that's a very important thing, not only just
Speaker 1: from the back line, but like as a team and collective,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that the you know, the
Speaker 1: game plan is crystal clear before you go out and
Speaker 1: do a finals campaign, because you don't want to be
Speaker 1: sitting there trying to fix things and realize this is
Speaker 1: the last game of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, and there's only a few
Speaker 2: games for them to turn it around and try some
Speaker 2: new things and change it up because you want that
Speaker 2: consistency heading into finals. The lack of TDK, how much
Speaker 2: impact you reckon that's having on Carlton.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been stable for a while. Er. He's a
Speaker 1: fantastic player, you know. Araly's has been massive for them,
Speaker 1: obviously playing the right quite a bit more. Pittney over
Speaker 1: the weekend went pretty well, you know, and playing against
Speaker 1: Port Adelaide. But I think he's one of those players
Speaker 1: now they look at players that can change the game,
Speaker 1: and he's one of those and he will come back,
Speaker 1: Like he's not he's not done for the season, so
Speaker 1: he will come back and there will be a massive
Speaker 1: kind of boost for them. But yeah, I mean Robbie Williams,
Speaker 1: I heard he was crying in his bad just because
Speaker 1: TDK hadn't been in. But it's a credit to him
Speaker 1: because he's he's a gun player, Like, he's really good
Speaker 1: and he knows what he's doing. I think they've kind
Speaker 1: of you know, galvanized around him that midfield and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, so you know, to have familiar faces in
Speaker 1: there in the call face is definitely something that you want.
Speaker 1: And like we said last week, this is a massive
Speaker 1: opportunity for Putney to be able to try to submit
Speaker 1: himself and solidify himself into what will be a finals
Speaker 1: campaign for them and to him be a part of
Speaker 1: that more than anything over these next few weeks. So
Speaker 1: we'll see kind of how it pans out. But yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely TDK, you know you want him in the squad
Speaker 1: of your best twenty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any of those, any of the de Kernings have
Speaker 2: some more to Kernings. Sydney will just mention them, probably
Speaker 2: the last one because last week Horse was asked whether
Speaker 2: he hits the panic button and he kind of chortled
Speaker 2: and said, it's not really time to hit the panic button,
Speaker 2: And then Bulldogs went up to Sydney and schooled them
Speaker 2: on their home deck.
Speaker 3: So is it time for Sydney, who have lost four
Speaker 3: out of their last five.
Speaker 2: To start panicking because there's only four weeks heading into finals.
Speaker 1: Well, three of those four losses were like less than
Speaker 1: five points, correct, so they've been in close games. The
Speaker 1: Brisbane last was one, I think they lost like two points,
Speaker 1: and a few others, so yeah, like it's that you
Speaker 1: want to have those wins, obviously, and then you got
Speaker 1: was it perhaps as up for another four to five
Speaker 1: weeks and Rampy's out. I think another week with a
Speaker 1: CAF or something like that. I don't think it's panic stations.
Speaker 1: There's still four games left in the season. Like all
Speaker 1: you need is I think one or two good games
Speaker 1: to feel like you're in forum, right, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's panic session. I hate panic stessons. I
Speaker 1: hate that word in the red button all kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: It's very graphic. It's real nuclear codes, press the button
Speaker 1: type suit scenario, isn't it. But I think like they
Speaker 1: just they went up against obviously bulldogs are in form,
Speaker 1: playing really well, not ideal home crowd. Always tough to
Speaker 1: lose in front of a home crowd. I think what
Speaker 1: they need more in anything is just like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: just go back to basics. Let's let's remember what we
Speaker 1: do really well. Let's just execute and just hone in
Speaker 1: on that and that will put us in a good
Speaker 1: stud for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting because they have lost to
Speaker 2: teams that are primed for finals, and they're getting teams
Speaker 2: that are, you know, on the way up and finding
Speaker 2: form in the runner into finals, and they're losing. So
Speaker 2: it's been a good challenge and we'll see where it
Speaker 2: leads them to. So yeah, I don't know. We might
Speaker 2: panic stations next week if they go to Adelaide and
Speaker 2: Port wipe the floor with them.
Speaker 3: It's interesting.
Speaker 2: It's going to be another tough game, but they're all
Speaker 2: tough when you make finals. Mace As you can attest
Speaker 2: to a big finals player over there. Let's jump into
Speaker 2: Collingwood's game because it was all about one man, and
Speaker 2: it'd be about it'll be one man. It'd be one
Speaker 2: man next week. Mason Cox. I actually had you on
Speaker 2: Mason Cox watch on Triple M. I was driving my
Speaker 2: car and they were like Cox watch, Yeah, Cox Watch.
Speaker 2: They were different one, but they were. We kept going
Speaker 2: to man, give us Cox his numbers and then he'd say, like,
Speaker 2: he's had one touch, two touches.
Speaker 1: Was that actually something they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they kept bringing that up, but they were pretty
Speaker 2: I reckon. For me, whenever you get to double digits,
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, he's had a big.
Speaker 1: Game, he's had a big he's got smacked a few times, he's.
Speaker 2: Been around it a lot, because if you're having ten,
Speaker 2: that man's you've been around.
Speaker 1: And all six clearances on the day, that was pretty big.
Speaker 1: I looked up the scoreboard. I think it was a
Speaker 1: number of two on clearances for the day. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: six clearances, six touches, baby, let's go.
Speaker 3: It was like he's had seven touches for six clearances.
Speaker 3: I'm like, he's a machine.
Speaker 2: Tell us about it. How'd you feel going out there
Speaker 2: for the first time. We'll do the pre during and posts.
Speaker 2: So how'd you feel running out there for the first
Speaker 2: time in quite a number of weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt pretty good. It was you know, like
Speaker 1: you kind of missed that experience of being at the
Speaker 1: MCG and playing in front of big crowds, and you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: I think another thing is like there's so many guys
Speaker 1: that you've played with for so long, and then whenever
Speaker 1: you don't see them going well, like we lose a
Speaker 1: few games, you go like, oh, man, like I want
Speaker 1: to help, Like I want to do something to be
Speaker 1: able to help, you know, and you can only do
Speaker 1: so much from the sidelines, where if you're on the field,
Speaker 1: you really do feel that connection with people and like
Speaker 1: celebrating people kicking goals, Like I felt really shit whenever,
Speaker 1: damn it, Stay kicked his first goal. I couldn't celebrate
Speaker 1: with him on the field. You know. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I just want to be there to give like a
Speaker 1: big hug after all he's done. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: those kind of moments where you're like, man, I wish
Speaker 1: I was a part of that, you know, And it
Speaker 1: was good to get back out there and be able
Speaker 1: to celebrate with everyone else and you know, get a
Speaker 1: win on the board more than anything to try to
Speaker 1: find some form. So yeah, it was. It was good.
Speaker 1: I got through the game. All good.
Speaker 2: Any good moments when you were out there, Any good moments,
Speaker 2: any moments that stood out to here that were I
Speaker 2: don't know, people like the funny stuff people.
Speaker 1: There's a few like forward fifties that we've got goals
Speaker 1: out of, you know, I love and like center bounces too.
Speaker 1: It's like I love whenever we get a midfielder just
Speaker 1: like straight hit out, straight at chests, burst through stoppage, handball,
Speaker 1: handball goal like and it just looks silky smooth, Like
Speaker 1: there's one Jamie Elliott, like I think I screwed something up.
Speaker 1: We got like a ball up after and they sit
Speaker 1: there and like I hit the ball to him, he's
Speaker 1: bursting through the stoppage. Bang gives the Pendles Pindles over
Speaker 1: to Will Hoskin Elliott, you know, out the the goose,
Speaker 1: Joe the goose out the back, and he kicks one
Speaker 1: from the goal and it's like, I don't even once
Speaker 1: Pendles gave to Will Hoskin Elliot, Like as soon as
Speaker 1: the balls in the air, I was already celebrating with
Speaker 1: Jamie Like it was kind of one of those things
Speaker 1: of like, man, that's sick. I love that. And then
Speaker 1: there's other ones where you know, you get an off
Speaker 1: hand hit that's out the back and comes streaming out
Speaker 1: the middle with like no one touching him, and you're
Speaker 1: like hell yeah, like it looks silky smooth. That's the
Speaker 1: ones I enjoy the most. I think, you know, taking
Speaker 1: like a big mark and you know, completely shaking kecks
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 2: I saw that take that market like Bobby or something.
Speaker 1: Trying to take a hanger, and I didn't even realize
Speaker 1: it until today. Whenever I looked at the vision, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's why everyone was like all excited.
Speaker 1: I was. It wasn't really that cool a mark. It
Speaker 1: just was going on. I couldn't see what was going
Speaker 1: on behind me. But Bobby's trying to take your hangers
Speaker 1: on everyone. He did take one during the game. Jamie
Speaker 1: took one too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy Bobby on someone's shoulders. Is your heart with
Speaker 2: your arms?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I tell Bobby all the time, if you
Speaker 1: take a hanger on me, man and it becomes a
Speaker 1: poster and be filthy, I'll probably hang up room.
Speaker 2: At the same time, come on, Jamie Elliott's come back,
Speaker 2: because I read in the jay Z article on the
Speaker 2: weekend that like how serious his incident was, the blood
Speaker 2: clotting in his foot, and he's still he said, like
Speaker 2: his foot would go completely numb, pins and needles, it
Speaker 2: would turn white. It happened for like a little period
Speaker 2: of time before you know, and and just something like that.
Speaker 3: You've been through things like that.
Speaker 2: Where it's you're a pretty rare case and you've got
Speaker 2: to they're trying to figure out what's going on and
Speaker 2: what's going wrong and trying to fix it on the fly.
Speaker 2: That he said that was more scary than any of
Speaker 2: his other injuries because most of the time it's like
Speaker 2: if you break a leg, you know what you have
Speaker 2: to do to fix it. With stuff like that, you
Speaker 2: don't know how to fix it. You've got to figure
Speaker 2: it out, and then you don't know. It's all of
Speaker 2: the unknowns that really play in your mind.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's definitely it's what you're scared of. What
Speaker 1: you don't know, right, and you know, you know there's
Speaker 1: something wrong, but you just have no idea how to
Speaker 1: fix it. Is probably like the worst beds. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like out of his control. It's
Speaker 1: just like something that's happening in his body. And we
Speaker 1: kind of somehow think that athletes don't have, you know,
Speaker 1: these medical conditions that just happen to normal over there people,
Speaker 1: and like they do happen, but sometimes they go yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not told publicly or something like that, know, and
Speaker 1: I can imagine that would have been a pretty scary
Speaker 1: experience for him, And he was out for a fair
Speaker 1: amount of weeks. I don't think people now looking at
Speaker 1: him like, oh, yeah, he's back, like he's been back forever,
Speaker 1: you know what kind of thing. But it's like he was,
Speaker 1: he's out for multiple weeks, and it's yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: always tough, I think to not know the solution to
Speaker 1: what's going on. I mean, I think there's there's that,
Speaker 1: and then there's also essentially not being able to do
Speaker 1: anything about it, right, Like that's it's kind of a
Speaker 1: tough pill to swallow. And I'm not sure the details
Speaker 1: of what he was having to go through and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but the unknown is definitely the most stressful
Speaker 1: bit because as an athlete, you just go, Okay, I've
Speaker 1: got this mindset, the problem is this, The solution is this,
Speaker 1: tell me the steps to get there, And it's like
Speaker 1: very meticulous of like this week, I should be doing this.
Speaker 1: This week, I should be able to accomplish this. I
Speaker 1: should be doing change the direction this week, I should
Speaker 1: be doing you know, squats this week. And it's like
Speaker 1: you have little goals along the way. Yeah, whenever you
Speaker 1: don't have an idea of what that future in that
Speaker 1: process looks like, you really kind of struggle with like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what what is my time frame? How long is this
Speaker 1: going to take? What are we doing? Like there's so
Speaker 1: many questions that go into it that you just don't
Speaker 1: have the answers for. That's that's probably the boot that
Speaker 1: you know, it's not easy to like pill to swallow.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's killing it now. Credit Tom. He's back,
Speaker 1: you know, playing as good as ever as always, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's someone I enjoyed to have, you know, behind
Speaker 1: me doing whatever he's doing, because you know, he just
Speaker 1: just leave him out of the back and leave him
Speaker 1: in the paddic you'll kick a goal And I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there just going David.
Speaker 2: He did that one where he picked up Bobby's shank kick,
Speaker 2: ran past someone and snapped it like so clean. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he said, yeah, it's still it's a crazy article for
Speaker 2: those that haven't seen it J Clark's Herold's son article.
Speaker 2: But yeah, basically have to go into his foot like
Speaker 2: pushing this stuff to break down the blood clots, and
Speaker 2: he's he still said, he doesn't have one hundred percent
Speaker 2: power in it.
Speaker 3: And it's his leaping legs.
Speaker 2: So if he's still out there taking hangars and he's
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent geep.
Speaker 1: He is also a body and guys, and let Dan
Speaker 1: come across over the week, perfect body work over the earth,
Speaker 1: just looking for the chest mark on the other side
Speaker 1: there just floats over the front of him, goes I'll
Speaker 1: have that.
Speaker 2: He was very he was so ready and he's like already,
Speaker 2: but we will move into this one because it is
Speaker 2: an amazing accomplishment. Scott Pendlebury has pretty much he's pretty
Speaker 2: much done it all in the game. He's playing, playing
Speaker 2: his four hundredth game this four hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four hundred.
Speaker 2: He's had four times the amount of games you have.
Speaker 1: Had twenty five. I've hard so he's not yet to
Speaker 1: five hundred. Calm down, he's getting there.
Speaker 2: I actually listened back to a podcast that when we
Speaker 2: were doing it together just before he's three hundredth game,
Speaker 2: and I took the piece and said, we're on the
Speaker 2: road to four hundred. What are you talking about? And
Speaker 2: he was like yeah, literally says after that, he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we should do a docer. He's picked it out, but
Speaker 2: he was selling anything. He's selling his wine, he's selling
Speaker 2: his canvas.
Speaker 1: Selling creaking end is raking in the as it would.
Speaker 2: His house is like a Miami villa or.
Speaker 1: Something side base side, like very self based.
Speaker 2: An We're going to say some nice stuff about him, Yeah, legend.
Speaker 2: Scott Pendlebury playing four hundredth game this weekend, a massive
Speaker 2: accomplishment like a rare as accomplishment you think of, like
Speaker 2: it's got to be less than you know, two percent
Speaker 2: of people that have done it. It's pretty crazy when
Speaker 2: you think about it, and we will be thinking about
Speaker 2: it a lot because it's everywhere this week. What's the
Speaker 2: club doing? How are you are you spending each day
Speaker 2: walking past the Scott Pendlebury Shrine and paying homage or
Speaker 2: does it all work on the inside of the club
Speaker 2: one of those candles?
Speaker 1: Now, it's kind of weird. We haven't really celebrated it
Speaker 1: yet obviously, like we're kind of reviewing the Richmond game
Speaker 1: of the moment, but I think once we get past that,
Speaker 1: we'll definitely look to the Coralty game, which is a
Speaker 1: big game within itself, right and the grand scheme of
Speaker 1: our season. But I'll so in the celebration of his
Speaker 1: career and what he's done for not only you know,
Speaker 1: accomplishing that, but like what he's given to the fans,
Speaker 1: and like how long he's been there, and his professionalism
Speaker 1: and what he's given to other players and coaches and
Speaker 1: staff and everything else throughout his career. It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: But yeah, four hundred very unique experience. I mean, what
Speaker 1: is it he's probably been chaired off for six times
Speaker 1: in his career, seven times among that, Like you just
Speaker 1: kind of get old after a while. But and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an incredible accomplishment. I mean, obviously he'll get all
Speaker 1: the lottest he deserves this week, and we're extremely excited
Speaker 1: for him. It's and to play against a big rival
Speaker 1: on that day and stuff. It just kind of adds
Speaker 1: to the whole spectacle. And you know, everyone you know
Speaker 1: has got all these words to say about him, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a professional. He's just you know, always just says
Speaker 1: the right thing, does the right thing. It's true, It's
Speaker 1: really true. It's like it's actually kind of annoying how
Speaker 1: good he is at being a football player whatever shit
Speaker 1: people like me are playing. But now, seriously, he's an
Speaker 1: absolute legend. He'll go down as probably the best Colingo
Speaker 1: player to ever play. Yeah, I can say that pretty comfortably.
Speaker 1: And it's something that I'll look at at some point
Speaker 1: talking to my grandkids and probably be like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: used to play with that guy. Yeah, you know, he
Speaker 1: would sit there and without me giving the hit outs
Speaker 1: to him. You know, you know, you just ever know, no,
Speaker 1: but it is credit to him. He's an incredible player,
Speaker 1: incredible man, and something I'm extremely proud to essentially had
Speaker 1: some small hard existence in his career that's been such
Speaker 1: a historic, you know, experience for him.
Speaker 2: You can definitely see how he got there. Like, he's
Speaker 2: always the most professional. He's got his sauna and spa
Speaker 2: at his house. He's always really logical to the point
Speaker 2: that it's annoying. He's like a sponge. He just absorbs everything.
Speaker 2: And it's not only in footy, like in business and
Speaker 2: life and everything. He's just always learning and absorbing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I've said on the podcast before, but yeah,
Speaker 2: like in my last game at the club, when we
Speaker 2: had the podcas CASS together. It's cool seeing it because
Speaker 2: it still gets rolled out now in his highlights packages.
Speaker 2: But he asked me if I wanted a celebration for
Speaker 2: my last game, and he one. I didn't think he
Speaker 2: was going to kick a goal, but I said a
Speaker 2: couple of ones that were a bit more obscure, and
Speaker 2: we landed on the headphones for the podcast, and he did.
Speaker 3: He kicked a goal.
Speaker 2: Jordy was the first to him to give him a
Speaker 2: high ten, and he snubs him, just to do the
Speaker 2: headphones and it's always, yeah, a cool moment to look
Speaker 2: back on that, because yeah, it's like those moments are
Speaker 2: etched in time forever. So it's like he would have
Speaker 2: had that effect on so many people over a four
Speaker 2: hundred game journey, whether it's like the one game player
Speaker 2: that he laced out for his first goal or you
Speaker 2: know yourself or you know Steal that he's been alongside
Speaker 2: with and Howie and all of those guys. But it's
Speaker 2: you know, the baton always gets passed on. It was
Speaker 2: Bucks that kicked Pendals his first kick to have his
Speaker 2: first shot at goal, and yeah, it's pretty special, but
Speaker 2: four hundred games, it's hard to fathom. I think I
Speaker 2: was I would have been close to high school. I
Speaker 2: think when he got drafted. Now, my literally my high
Speaker 2: school has been demolished because it had Aspestos in it,
Speaker 2: so that like my school doesn't exist anymore, and Pendals
Speaker 2: is still running out there week in week out. So yeah,
Speaker 2: congratulations to the big fella. Yeah, so many moments that
Speaker 2: he's given the footy club, even last year stepping up
Speaker 2: in that Grand Final kicking that pivotal goal. He was
Speaker 2: the conductor out there, just you know, pointing, telling everyone
Speaker 2: where to go, the final stoppage that kind of got
Speaker 2: Santa bounce, that got Jordy to kick his goal, all
Speaker 2: of those things. It's just it's incredible to watch him
Speaker 2: and we hope he keeps going.
Speaker 3: But he is going on next year.
Speaker 2: He said that he has a contract for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: which is quite amazing, and I still think that that's
Speaker 2: pending because but I feel he does his own deals too,
Speaker 2: So the amount of money that he would have saved
Speaker 2: over four hundred games on a manager doing those deals.
Speaker 2: He's a smart man. He's a very smart man. Now
Speaker 2: I'll bring this up. Ed Allen kicked a ninety meter
Speaker 2: goal in the VFL on the weekend.
Speaker 1: Wild. It was from piston down right.
Speaker 3: I think it was just the other side of the
Speaker 3: center circle.
Speaker 1: It was wild over a punt road. Reminds me of
Speaker 1: Rupert Wills did it in Ballarat, I think it was,
Speaker 1: And it was legit from one ford like the edge
Speaker 1: of the four sorry edge of the defensive fifty. He
Speaker 1: kicked a goal from there and it just sailed. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a ball go further in my life. And
Speaker 1: then skid, skid, skid, skit and it stopped maybe like
Speaker 1: two or three meters over the line. It was insane.
Speaker 3: This reminds me that I actually remember that one.
Speaker 2: And if you get a good day in Ballarat where
Speaker 2: the wins Humming quin right, you probably kick one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: Now, you tell me about this bloke, because fifty five
Speaker 2: hitouts it's quite a lot.
Speaker 1: Lewis Smith. He's a mid season draft picked by US ruckman.
Speaker 1: Big fella. He goes South African heritage. I love that,
Speaker 1: really nice man had an incredible game of the weekend,
Speaker 1: fifty five hitout. He's a plumber.
Speaker 3: He's already a plumber.
Speaker 1: He's a plumber already. Man. He's been in the system
Speaker 1: for about three months, so it's pretty good hit out ratio,
Speaker 1: I would say. But yeah, no, he's a really, really
Speaker 1: good player. I'm excited to kind of see what his
Speaker 1: future is going to be at the club. Ops great
Speaker 1: hopes and yeah, he's kind of He very much reminds
Speaker 1: me whenever I was young and like very raw could
Speaker 1: leave the ground and like I didn't get sat on
Speaker 1: all day. But no, he's an incredible player. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see kind of him blossom over the next next
Speaker 1: few years, and I think it's an absolute steel we
Speaker 1: got in the mid season draft.
Speaker 2: How do you help him develop the young guys coming through?
Speaker 3: Is that a little passion of yours?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've actually just finished my Level two coaching, finishing
Speaker 1: that this year. So I think doing some like rock
Speaker 1: stuff and like aerial stuff and some things around the
Speaker 1: ground definitely is something I'm interested in. He's kind of
Speaker 1: I like to kind of try to help him out
Speaker 1: of it, you know, and like, yes, ask the questions.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing whenever you're young players,
Speaker 1: ask as many questions as you can. Be a sponge
Speaker 1: and soak it all up with rock stuff. Obviously, it
Speaker 1: just takes a bit of repetition. It takes a bit
Speaker 1: of yeah, just knowing what to do and almost having
Speaker 1: to you know, first consciously understand what's going on, to
Speaker 1: the point where whenever you get to a stoppage and stuff,
Speaker 1: you're subconsciously not even really having to think, you're just
Speaker 1: going yet cool, I know what to do, like this
Speaker 1: is a situation, this is how I like manipulate, this
Speaker 1: is where I'm best out, like all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So it does take time, but I think with a
Speaker 1: bit of guidance and stuff, you can really fast track that.
Speaker 1: So hopefully I can kind of help him in some
Speaker 1: of the other rocks out in that sense. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just want to give him a little shout out.
Speaker 1: Fifty five huts over the weekend and you played a
Speaker 1: pretty good game.
Speaker 3: Let's go, that's a Mario.
Speaker 1: What the hell is that from? Let's random? Just Maria?
Speaker 2: All right, Brad, and just give me a quick answer
Speaker 2: on this one. If if you didn't have to tap
Speaker 2: it where you have to tap it, so you have
Speaker 2: where you got to tap it to, could you just
Speaker 2: win all the rock taps? Like?
Speaker 3: Is that the hard part is to?
Speaker 2: Because I remember I watched your first game in Bendigo
Speaker 2: against Carlton and we clipped up a clip about it
Speaker 2: and you were getting every hit out, but like I
Speaker 2: imagine you're probably just hitting it every wrong place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I probably didn't understand like everyone has,
Speaker 1: like you know, it's red, yellow, green, or like one, two,
Speaker 1: three fours or like twelve nine six threes or where
Speaker 1: the hell it is for your your hit sounds. I
Speaker 1: think at that point I was maybe a month and
Speaker 1: too knowing what football.
Speaker 3: Was, and just like.
Speaker 1: He's like, just hit it that direction, sir. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, sounds good, bro. No, I think it
Speaker 1: was like Liam Jones or something in the rock. You
Speaker 1: have to look that one up.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's when you didn't know who Juddy was.
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, number five really nice, really nice guy. A lot
Speaker 1: of tape, a lot of teepe on his shoulders.
Speaker 2: Let's look at the previews in the week ahead, because
Speaker 2: you stuffed up your cock clock last week.
Speaker 1: Huge. I was gonna try to get away with it,
Speaker 1: but no no chance. Yeah. Sorry, So I'm mombering into previews.
Speaker 3: Yep, going in Bulldogs v. Melbourne at Marvel.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I got to lock in the Bulldogs for this one
Speaker 2: because they're just.
Speaker 1: Red hot for MAXI gone might be back this week,
Speaker 1: it was back last week. Yeah we go Melbourne's still last.
Speaker 1: What's the Bulldogs from now? I've got them winning.
Speaker 2: Oh we go back to the West for the West
Speaker 2: Coast versus the Gold Coast at Optus. So they dropped
Speaker 2: their first home game? Can they win their first away game?
Speaker 1: So upset we dropped our first home game?
Speaker 3: Is actually really hard to pick this.
Speaker 1: I'm going West Coast. I know it's like terrible to say.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man, I just you know, it
Speaker 1: really hit me hard last week. I had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a cry.
Speaker 2: And to be fair, I don't think Dimmer is expecting
Speaker 2: an apology. He's like, that's probably fair. I've seen him
Speaker 2: his post match press conferences and he's just like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck was that?
Speaker 3: What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Anyway? I am also going West Coast if they dish
Speaker 2: out what they did against Freo.
Speaker 3: It was good up until the second half.
Speaker 1: Across went like the next four. They're a bit like
Speaker 1: us right now. We have to win quite a bit
Speaker 1: in a nice chunk of the season to make.
Speaker 2: Fires not enough space. Anyway, We're going to this North v.
Speaker 2: Richmond game because this is really important. Now down the
Speaker 2: down the bottom of the ladder.
Speaker 1: You can's really important. Think you could lose a pick
Speaker 1: on this, Yeah, you could lose hardly read off. This
Speaker 1: couldn't massive.
Speaker 3: Are you throwing this one?
Speaker 2: Mason?
Speaker 1: I would never throw a game as a coach for
Speaker 1: a club to get a number one draft pick.
Speaker 2: They put a big picture of Harley read up in
Speaker 2: the locker and it's like, do you lose you get
Speaker 2: this blog?
Speaker 1: Imagine you know how you have like the signs on
Speaker 1: the sideline, You're like, you're up by five and you no,
Speaker 1: let's do the Harley read what's that? Just let them go,
Speaker 1: Just let them go through the middle, let him kick
Speaker 1: the next goal.
Speaker 2: Goodness, I don't know now, I know that Richmond needs that.
Speaker 2: Richmond needs that number one draft pick more than North
Speaker 2: North North of fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I must say, yeah, I must say North
Speaker 1: Melbourne win this one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They got they got a better spine, they got more
Speaker 2: young talent, cheesels killing it, they got lucky. But yeah, no,
Speaker 2: Rough Richmond just coming off three flags.
Speaker 1: They're good.
Speaker 3: They can suck.
Speaker 2: They can suck for a bit, nor have supped for
Speaker 2: a long time. Let them let them get good. Geelong
Speaker 2: versus Adelaide GM HB A oh yeah, I'm saying North Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Geelong versus Adelaide. I'm going Geelong on this one. This
Speaker 2: is a pretty easy one for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say it's an easy called Geelong to win
Speaker 1: at home.
Speaker 2: I think it just reflection Adelaide beat Essendon at home
Speaker 2: last week. Anyway, let's not harp on that for Essendon fans.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you don't listen to Katie Perry in the
Speaker 2: car on the way. Huh Collingwood make it feel a
Speaker 2: bit counting at the MCG massive class pendaals aside. That's
Speaker 2: obviously a massive thing for the club and for Pendles,
Speaker 2: massive history in this game and lots of hatred.
Speaker 1: Do you still hate each other?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, you had to pick out one of their
Speaker 2: players that you hate the most. Who would have But
Speaker 2: that's going to be a big one. I'll say Collingwood
Speaker 2: will win that one. Unfortunately that scores against isn't great
Speaker 2: for Collingwood either Port v Sydney Adelaide Oval out.
Speaker 1: I've got Port one of last. Yes, I want Sydney.
Speaker 1: I've got Port winning, which is wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah now that now that's panic station. You can't lose
Speaker 2: what five of the last six? It's it's just wild
Speaker 2: to me that there's still a game and a half
Speaker 2: clear on the top of the lad after losing four
Speaker 2: of the last.
Speaker 1: There was a real chuck between them and the rest
Speaker 1: for a long time.
Speaker 2: This Yeah, I'm poor.
Speaker 1: No, Wow, we're both going important.
Speaker 3: Gws Hawthorn in Canberra.
Speaker 2: That's a crazy good game and I never thought i'd
Speaker 2: say it because I don't know two pretty not popular teams,
Speaker 2: not the most popular teams, not the biggest fan bases.
Speaker 2: You take two teams to.
Speaker 1: See the GWS versus Melbourne guys.
Speaker 2: You take two of the teams with the lowest fan
Speaker 2: base and then you put them in Canberra.
Speaker 3: Let's say go for it. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying that's one of the games of a
Speaker 2: round things that I thought I would ever ever say anyway.
Speaker 1: Both of them though, because I think people question them
Speaker 1: throughout the year and they've they've come good at the
Speaker 1: right time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think GWS will win because I feel
Speaker 2: like the pressure will start coming for Hawthorne.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I stuff Hawthorne's going to win this one, like it
Speaker 1: in all right?
Speaker 2: That Yeah, that's such a good game. That's a game
Speaker 2: that and the poor at Sydney game games. It's hard
Speaker 2: to pick a game of the round. And I haven't
Speaker 2: picked my cock lock yet, have you known?
Speaker 1: No, I might have to let's go keep going. That's
Speaker 1: versus three mcgree troubles over to Melbourne, needing a w,
Speaker 1: needing to get back on their winning streaks.
Speaker 3: So I feel like fre wins.
Speaker 1: I've got three two. Yeah, I think this is a man.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. If you're an Essdon supporter, you'd be
Speaker 1: definitely circling this one gone. We need to.
Speaker 2: Get Freo in the top four like Saints are. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it is a home away game, so home game for.
Speaker 3: Is it really?
Speaker 2: Because it's at the g Oh this has got danger
Speaker 2: signs written all over it. This is disgusting.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I want to piss off the Masson fans too. I
Speaker 1: want to lock that it was the.
Speaker 2: This is bad for them anyway. That opens up that
Speaker 2: last spot in the eight, which Colling would desperately need. Anyway,
Speaker 2: So you are going for Freer uh Saint Kilda Brisbane?
Speaker 1: Shit?
Speaker 2: I didn't really?
Speaker 3: Can I look back?
Speaker 1: There are some others you review your decision surely.
Speaker 2: Now, like Geelong is, but I'm not doing that. I'm
Speaker 2: going North over Richmond.
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, just because it's a bit closer.
Speaker 2: And then in this game, I'm picking Brizzy at Marvel
Speaker 2: against Saint Kilda. But Ross the boss did say that
Speaker 2: he likes playing the Grinch and he wants to ruin
Speaker 2: a few teams on the way home, and he just
Speaker 2: did it to Essenon. Can they do it to Brisbane.
Speaker 1: Mate. Yeah, I'm gonna throw a little wrench in here.
Speaker 1: I sat Kilda out Marble Hero.
Speaker 3: That's a massive one.
Speaker 2: But that's an exciting weekend of forty with big repercussions.
Speaker 1: That is wild. It's just like we're getting to the
Speaker 1: end of the year, like every game matter so much.
Speaker 1: We always said, I feel like this ladder is just
Speaker 1: so stressful for so many people.
Speaker 2: Everyone's out there doing ladder predictors. I know I've done them,
Speaker 2: and I I wouldn't be as passionate as you know
Speaker 2: some others Jacko for instance. It's going to give the spray.
Speaker 2: I will say this just before your wrap up. We
Speaker 2: did beg everyone to leave Spotify comments. Turns out that
Speaker 2: it hasn't rolled out to everyone the ability to leave comments.
Speaker 3: We did get one, come on, we did get one comment.
Speaker 2: Because we got a message from Spotify saying, hey, comments
Speaker 2: are here, get everyone in to comments.
Speaker 3: So we did.
Speaker 2: And then there's oh, hang on, like some people have it.
Speaker 2: And one person said that our cover art for last
Speaker 2: week was really good, which is the crying. We were crying.
Speaker 2: I got your fringe and I extended the fringe down,
Speaker 2: so I went full emote and then I put you
Speaker 2: in my Chemical Romance T shirt.
Speaker 1: Great songs they if we're doing a shout out and
Speaker 1: stuff for like trying to source and stuff hard, I
Speaker 1: kind of saw a little memory pop up, you know,

Speaker 1: real humbling moment to have someone that's like doing some
Speaker 1: sure some amazing stuff over in Africa and some capacity
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, and to have listenership across the
Speaker 1: world like that, Like that was a that was cool.
Speaker 1: It's stuck in my head and I thought we talked
Speaker 1: about it, but I was like, maybe we haven't. So
Speaker 1: hopefully I'm doubling up on this, but I just want
Speaker 1: to shout that person out.
Speaker 3: Some of those are good.
Speaker 2: We had some good pictures from Like some people take
Speaker 2: photos of people sneakily at the games and send them
Speaker 2: through to me. Like it'll be like some bloke buying
Speaker 2: a beer at the concession stands. Someone take a photo
Speaker 2: of him where the braiden. Yeah see that little short
Speaker 2: and fat.
