Speaker 1: Hey, legends, welcome back to the Mason Cox Show. We
Speaker 1: have a big one today. I got to see Harley
Speaker 1: Reid up close and personal. How you doing, brouh. We
Speaker 1: also had Carlton had a one point went over Melbourne
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. That was an interesting game. And
Speaker 1: also we had a draw another draw Adelaide and Brisbane.
Speaker 1: We're going to break that down all coming up in
Speaker 1: this episode. Let's get into it. Okay, Legends, we have
Speaker 1: a lot to cover in this episode, but without further ado,
Speaker 1: welcome Brighton.
Speaker 2: Oh get a mice.
Speaker 3: Now, let's jump straight into the clangers because I have
Speaker 3: a doozy for you.
Speaker 1: We've got a few. There's not a bit going on
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: There's a few clangers out there.
Speaker 3: But as an athlete, professional athlete as you are, we
Speaker 3: just throw it around sometimes. But as a professional athlete,
Speaker 3: you have a manager of too. You probably have one
Speaker 3: a couple yeah tracks, you're big six seven figure contracts.
Speaker 1: And then that's a clanger with themselves and.
Speaker 3: Then someone that looks after opportunities going We got this
Speaker 3: brand coming in, this brand coming in. Normally that's all
Speaker 3: they do, right, just bring in the brands, bring in
Speaker 3: a bit of extra cash.
Speaker 2: Happy days for everyone involved.
Speaker 3: Well, Paul Matthaeus philipp Who's manager, has caused a little
Speaker 3: stir this week because he tweeted.
Speaker 1: I'm sticking happens there?
Speaker 2: We don't tweet, does he or does he tweet?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'm sticking with Twitter anyone that says X,
Speaker 3: they're sad. But Ned Costello is the other manager for
Speaker 3: Matthias Philippoo. He put out there something to the effect
Speaker 3: of all the young key Fords for for the Saints.
Speaker 3: So we're talking Owen's king and Philippoo he reckons ross
Speaker 3: Lyon is destroying them, which is he's gone like a
Speaker 3: soft quote, he's comment he's destroying them. So he tweeted
Speaker 3: from the couch he said, Russell ideas come from there.
Speaker 2: What's he done?
Speaker 3: He's destroying all these young forwards, one of which is
Speaker 3: his clients. So I wouldn't be reading that as one
Speaker 3: of his clients to go like, oh am I destroyed
Speaker 3: am I. But yeah, so he's come out since then,
Speaker 3: he's deleted the account.
Speaker 1: That's a sign you've you've definitely screwed up.
Speaker 3: He couldn't have done it any sooner, but yeah, he
Speaker 3: said when asked about it that it was just an
Speaker 3: emotional response from the couch and I feel like we
Speaker 3: all have them at times. You would have tweeted a
Speaker 3: couple of tweets that you wish he could have just
Speaker 3: reeled back in.
Speaker 1: How good my words.
Speaker 3: But I think.
Speaker 1: The thing with this is right, He's not the football manager,
Speaker 1: he's the extras manager. And I'm like, mate, the money's
Speaker 1: not coming from you, so try not to screw up
Speaker 1: his actual contract. Just let you do your job, and
Speaker 1: please do not comment about your clients. It was.
Speaker 3: He's probably not the guy you want to try and
Speaker 3: get into the bad books.
Speaker 2: Frost line.
Speaker 3: He's a pretty scary dude, even though he's a bit
Speaker 3: happier nowadays. But yeah, I'm giving the klang to Ned
Speaker 3: Costello just chill out a bit on the Twitter.
Speaker 2: But he's my clanger of the week.
Speaker 1: What's yours. There's a couple here. We'll start off with
Speaker 1: the first one, now Freeman or Patrick Voss he VOSSI
Speaker 1: would know this is covid because for the week kid oh,
Speaker 1: I thought he had kicked an absolute beauty by the
Speaker 1: way he celebrated, gave the full fist pump into the
Speaker 1: air with a bit of gusto and the umpire comes
Speaker 1: out with the one finger pistol and he's gone gone
Speaker 1: a bit early on the celebration and that, unfortunately is
Speaker 1: a guaranteed shoe went for clanger of the week.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for him because it happened like two
Speaker 3: in a row the.
Speaker 1: Camera and it looked like it went straight through the sticks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like if the broadcaster could show us
Speaker 3: a different camera angle so we could figure out what
Speaker 3: the hell happened.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there was one.
Speaker 3: The first person that did it kicked it, gave it
Speaker 3: a little bit of those sus ones.
Speaker 1: It's like whoo, trying to convince the other and then
Speaker 1: when it.
Speaker 3: Wasn't it wasn't too shocking. But the second one is
Speaker 3: he was stuked.
Speaker 1: He was sure, but unfortunately for him, just one point,
Speaker 1: that's what. And then the next one. Now, you're gonna
Speaker 1: help me out on this one because we did a
Speaker 1: little diving into this and we're all four women's sports
Speaker 1: here right, we love it and unfortunately Netball Australia had
Speaker 1: a bit of a clanger over the weekend. Now the
Speaker 1: Lightning we're playing the Giants and at the end of
Speaker 1: the game, you know, Lightning are going we're up seventy
Speaker 1: one to seventy. Let's close the game out, let's go
Speaker 1: into our stop play or whatever it is. Right, you
Speaker 1: know we're going to win this game. The siren goes
Speaker 1: and they're like, yep, we won. Yeah, awesome, great, what's
Speaker 1: going to the next round? Right?
Speaker 2: No clangers, that's happy days, Giants.
Speaker 1: Go not's so fast? Technically we're tied and Lightning I
Speaker 1: was so so sorry. What it's seventy one to seventy
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard though, Well, let's have a look at this.
Speaker 1: So the umpires go back and they check it and
Speaker 1: surely seventy to seventy they got to go back go
Speaker 1: into overtime. Lightning end up losing the game after thinking
Speaker 1: they had it all sealed, and the climber goes to
Speaker 1: the officiating and whoever the hell is running the scoreboard
Speaker 1: at netball, I don't think there's a lot of difference here.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of math. It's either two points
Speaker 1: or one point. Surely we can figure that out. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it caused a bit of a stir over the weekend
Speaker 1: in netball Australia and it's been a bit of a
Speaker 1: rough go for them, a bit of a rough year
Speaker 1: over there. That ball. Oh we won't dive into it
Speaker 1: too much.
Speaker 2: A precious run.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting one, but yeah, tough, tough loss for
Speaker 1: the Lightning, thinking they had it all wrapped up and
Speaker 1: Gihnt's come up with a dub.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a calamity of airs because it was
Speaker 3: Lightning left.
Speaker 2: They were gone.
Speaker 3: They were down in the rooms, chilling out, they singing
Speaker 3: a storm.
Speaker 1: We won the game.
Speaker 3: They they've picked the player of the match, they've done
Speaker 3: it all down, the crowds left, like all of that
Speaker 3: is going on, and then they have to come out
Speaker 3: and over an hour after the game had finished, they're like, no,
Speaker 3: let's get it going again, extra five minutes each way,
Speaker 3: Like imagine starting back up, cranking the old body back
Speaker 3: up after a big game, putting it all out there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, last thirty seconds they went into shut down mode.
Speaker 3: I thought they'd saved the game. And oh man, it's painful.
Speaker 1: The top pilver swallow there, sorry Sunshine, curse Lightning, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be having it. I'd be filthy. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you did. I don't know.
Speaker 3: How it works with the as we've seen AFL had
Speaker 3: a bit of a whoopsie last year and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 3: sorry we caused cost Adelaide finals whoop.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 2: Oh well but there's not much you can do.
Speaker 1: You just it's sealed. Yeah. Well anyway, well enough that
Speaker 1: we'll get into the football again. Into the first game
Speaker 1: of the match. This one was a really good one
Speaker 1: one point winner Carlton over Melbourne seventy seven to seventy six.
Speaker 1: Oh what did you see in this one?
Speaker 3: Well, as I thought with another Thursday night, it started
Speaker 3: off a bit slow and boring, and I was like,
Speaker 3: we're do you another stinker here?
Speaker 2: It's going to be another stinker.
Speaker 3: But I feel like at least if they're close towards
Speaker 3: the end, you get a bit of something, get a
Speaker 3: bit of juice. And Carlton were up up convincingly. They
Speaker 3: kicked the first six of the game and it.
Speaker 1: Just looked like, look, they would just run over the top.
Speaker 3: Going to just wipe them off the park. But Melbourne
Speaker 3: came home strong in the last kicking four goals forward
Speaker 3: a one, one huge, bringing it down to the one
Speaker 3: point margin.
Speaker 1: Wack's gone kick one for about fifty Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: tangling saying that.
Speaker 2: He's always good.
Speaker 3: He did the thing where he kind of runs around
Speaker 3: the man on the mark to get the extra juice.
Speaker 3: But it was really Petrarca that was, you know, the
Speaker 3: only one that looked like he was going to just
Speaker 3: put him on his back and just carry him over
Speaker 3: the line. He went forward twenty one touches, five goals.
Speaker 1: Five goals. That's a bag for all track. Chef tracker,
Speaker 1: chef tracker, you got to that's the only way to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 3: He's cooking. But yeah, he was amazing. Crips had thirty
Speaker 3: five and a goal. Walsh had thirty four in a goal,
Speaker 3: So they were I think that's the scary part, like
Speaker 3: when I see them and normally, like sometimes you see
Speaker 3: their forwards kicking big numbers, but the game's still close.
Speaker 3: So it's like, if you've got Crips and Walsh getting
Speaker 3: huge numbers and kicking goals and it's still that close,
Speaker 3: it's it's an interesting little conundrum.
Speaker 2: I don't know where that comes from.
Speaker 3: But yeah, in the dying moments, it was down to
Speaker 3: a stoppage.
Speaker 2: Petruca on the move and Max.
Speaker 3: Gorn did like a deaf little touch behind him and
Speaker 3: jumped out of the way, Petraca came through, collected the
Speaker 3: ball and then got tackled straight away.
Speaker 2: They were ready for him.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like they tapped it to the
Speaker 3: area where Carlton's set up, so obviously it was kind
Speaker 3: of it looked like a set play that, you know,
Speaker 3: it didn't pan out. It didn't pan out the truck
Speaker 3: had done holding the ball. Now people have said that
Speaker 3: maybe gone should have gone the big hit out of
Speaker 3: congestion over into space. What would you have done in
Speaker 3: that circumstance.
Speaker 1: If you can, if you got someone like Petruca on there,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have them as they go to
Speaker 1: I think you like, but then you've got like crips
Speaker 1: and stuff too, so I think you're probably going to
Speaker 1: hit it to your go to person and then try
Speaker 1: to get that quick kick forward. Unfortunately, didn't pan out
Speaker 1: for him that way because if you do the big
Speaker 1: thump forward, like a lot of times, defenses are there
Speaker 1: to you know, sweep it up and then kick it
Speaker 1: forward again. So that's usually where their numbers are if
Speaker 1: you're if you're in defensive mode, so to thump it
Speaker 1: forward sometimes doesn't work out as well as you know
Speaker 1: the intention, but yeah, I think hitting the petruck is
Speaker 1: probably right. Thinking it over the top opens up the
Speaker 1: corridor which allows you to maybe, like you know, hit
Speaker 1: a fact or hit an open side kick. There's a
Speaker 1: possibility to So I don't think that was the wrong call,
Speaker 1: the wrong decision, but sometimes it just doesn't pan out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just part of footy.
Speaker 3: Like slightly different scenario, but at least you know they
Speaker 3: had a similar position ground position to last week when
Speaker 3: Nick Daykov comes shooting through, got the ball, kicked the goal.
Speaker 3: Carlton was able to stop that. It didn't happen this week.
Speaker 1: Different player, different player, special team, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. Carlton needed to win that because
Speaker 3: they go up to Sydney this week versus the Swans
Speaker 3: at the SCG, So that's going to be a big
Speaker 3: one that we look afforward to Adam Cherr unfortunately hamstring
Speaker 3: injury and Carlton have a lot of soft tissue injuries,
Speaker 3: so it's another one to the list. Let's jump over
Speaker 3: to Geelong Port. You and I thought Easy dubbed Geelong.
Speaker 3: Obviously Port's a good team at Gelong, but it's at Geelong,
Speaker 3: so we just thought they would get it done down
Speaker 3: there in Hawk's big record equaling game, and it just
Speaker 3: didn't pan out.
Speaker 1: That kicked like fifty points at halftime, and I was
Speaker 1: just like Geelong, like, what's going on here? I thought
Speaker 1: you would just dominate this and it just seemed like
Speaker 1: Port just kind of ran over them and Gelong tried,
Speaker 1: you know, valiantly to try to get back into it,
Speaker 1: but the amount of score differential was just too much
Speaker 1: for them to come back. Yeah, and it's a tough
Speaker 1: one to lose in front of your home crowd like that.
Speaker 1: And I think they've got a They've got a great
Speaker 1: home field advantage there, very similar ground size to Adelaide
Speaker 1: Oval though. Yeah, so if there's a team to kind
Speaker 1: of take them to the line, I feel like poor
Speaker 1: Adeload's got that kind of experience playing on a skinnier
Speaker 1: ground that Geelong does provide. A GM HbA also.
Speaker 2: So good football analysis playing great.
Speaker 1: Hey, that was real insight for a guy that doesn't
Speaker 1: know what the hell he's talking about most of the time.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, we had Cape Ferrell kick two big
Speaker 1: range goals.
Speaker 3: You can't let him just walk around the fifty because
Speaker 3: he's just got a boom and.
Speaker 1: We got We only kicked four and three behind, gave
Speaker 1: away a double fifty.
Speaker 2: I feel like you get that.
Speaker 3: You don't want to see it. If the guys out
Speaker 3: there he's kicked four goals three and he's carrying your team,
Speaker 3: you let it slide. One guy on the field can
Speaker 3: give away a double fifty him.
Speaker 1: It's probably it's good to see up at the back
Speaker 1: because he's one of those exciting players that just makes
Speaker 1: something out of nothing, does all the old Bobby Hill
Speaker 1: fake fake one way, fake the other, you know, and
Speaker 1: then somehow snap over his head. It's exciting stuff. Stangle
Speaker 1: kicked four also, and we've been on Tomahawk watch for
Speaker 1: about the last six weeks. I feel like, and he
Speaker 1: finally got one today or sorry over the weekend, So
Speaker 1: the Tomahawk goal watch is over. He's got his goal.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he gets back into and keetting multiple goals per
Speaker 1: game because we love the Tomahawk up and about. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he got he got to, you know, get rid of
Speaker 1: the jinx. Yeah, maybe is what we'll call it. Butters
Speaker 1: also had a big game thirty four disposals, seven clearances
Speaker 1: in the goal. But I think this one was a
Speaker 1: bit of Port Adelaide just playing to it strengths. We
Speaker 1: had a lot of questions with a few outs with
Speaker 1: them over the past week and they showed up and said, look,
Speaker 1: we are not hiding away from this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They they had an answer every time because the
Speaker 3: crowd as Geelong started to kick a couple of goals,
Speaker 3: they it only took a couple of goals for the
Speaker 3: crowd to get right back behind him.
Speaker 2: Every time they kicked the goal, Port had a answer.
Speaker 3: It was really really impressive win, like they just had
Speaker 3: an answer for everything. There was a couple of moments
Speaker 3: there they made a big beat up about it, which
Speaker 3: is they being social media and media agencies. But there
Speaker 3: was one point where I swear Ken Hinkley was either
Speaker 3: asking someone on the bench what was that, Like, what
Speaker 3: did you say? And then turned that into like an
Speaker 3: ear scratch and they clipped it up and it was
Speaker 3: like Ken Hinkley telling the crowd, oh.
Speaker 1: Pay good money enough. That was him saying come on boys.
Speaker 3: But there was after the game he turned around. He's
Speaker 3: done it a couple of times now where Port win.
Speaker 3: He turns around and looks at the crowd and he's
Speaker 3: like giving it to the crowd. I don't know if
Speaker 3: there's like a port section in that part of the
Speaker 3: crowd benefit of the doubt. Otherwise he's just turned around
Speaker 3: the gmaspa and he's just given it to the Gelunger fans.
Speaker 1: Happy either way, I like it given it to opposite.
Speaker 3: Because he did the jig. We loved the jig.
Speaker 1: We love the gym. I just love kN Hinckley doing stuff.
Speaker 1: Just you get kN Hinckley watch, you know, screw Tomahawk
Speaker 1: watching his goal. We want ken Hinckley watch of what
Speaker 1: he dies every single game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I feel like it's really easy to you know,
Speaker 3: show boat or give something like give it to someone
Speaker 3: when you know you're safe to say it's like the
Speaker 3: last game of the year or something like that. But
Speaker 3: Kenny does ship in the middle of the season when
Speaker 3: it can really blow up in his face, and when
Speaker 3: it does, it does when it like so there was
Speaker 3: that obviously that one where he did the five zero
Speaker 3: to like the camera in the box, and obviously later
Speaker 3: like it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Really to Dixon this year. I mean, he gives us storylines,
Speaker 1: which we love on this podcast. So nothing like crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's just a little bit of content, you know,
Speaker 1: just a little bit can't.
Speaker 3: He must be so battle hardened because like every year
Speaker 3: it was like Kosh, She's coming out saying he needs
Speaker 3: to get the sack.
Speaker 1: And he got the sack, got the sack.
Speaker 2: He's doing all one job, zero job.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's good. We always love to see a
Speaker 3: little bit of Kenny magic.
Speaker 1: We'll move to the next game out. I love that
Speaker 1: little segment in free versus Sydney. Now going from a
Speaker 1: very you know, fun little time to unfortunately the news
Speaker 1: over the week of Cam McCarthy, you know, passing away
Speaker 1: very tough, especially for you play for g WS and
Speaker 1: Freemantle throughout his career. Always hard to hear these these
Speaker 1: stories come out and yeah, to to off the top,
Speaker 1: we will say this lifeline one three, one, one one
Speaker 1: four for anyone out there that's having any issues and
Speaker 1: need someone to talk to. That's that's very important, I think,
Speaker 1: and it's tough with football. You know, Freeman obviously would
Speaker 1: have had a lot on their mind going into this
Speaker 1: game with what happened during the week, and it's it's
Speaker 1: not an easy thing to have to front up and
Speaker 1: just you know, play football and do your job. In
Speaker 1: that sense, it's an emotional time for them. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's a tough time for them to have to to
Speaker 1: rally around each other and try to get through kind
Speaker 1: of the day. And you know, had some touching tributes
Speaker 1: over there in Perth and yeah, unfortunately for this as
Speaker 1: far as the football side of it goes to Freemantle
Speaker 1: was thirty nine versus Sydney had eighty seven, so a
Speaker 1: bit of a thumping over there too, and just added
Speaker 1: on to the tough week that was for Fremantle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty courageous for the players to just
Speaker 3: show up in the first place. You can see, you
Speaker 3: could visibly see like the effect that he had on
Speaker 3: them as a playing group. It was Alex Pierce Nat Fife,
Speaker 3: both pre and postgame. Pre game, all the players lined
Speaker 3: up and they had a tribute to Cam before the
Speaker 3: game started and you could see it, like tears running
Speaker 3: down their face and stuff. So like, it's always hard
Speaker 3: and there's been a few circumstances like this over time.
Speaker 3: So hard to focus on footy because it puts it
Speaker 3: into perspective so.
Speaker 1: Much more than football players. And then you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: this happens to a friend and then they're also part
Speaker 1: of the football team. It's yeah, it does affactor group.
Speaker 1: It's not an easy thing to have to deal with obviously,
Speaker 1: and yeah, and then rock up and try to play
Speaker 1: a game at full capacities. As you know, not to
Speaker 1: say that they didn't try the hide out, but like
Speaker 1: it is mentally, you wouldn't be one hundred percent there,
Speaker 1: you know, like you can't focus on it with all
Speaker 1: the destructions of you know, what happened during the week
Speaker 1: and thinking about the terrible news.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like, yeah, they definitely showed up and
Speaker 3: gave really good effort. It was more they're kicking a
Speaker 3: goal accuracy that kind of brought them undone jumping into
Speaker 3: the game itself. Sydney again, excellent, like they're just a
Speaker 3: powerhouse of a team. Haywood again. Four goals. I think
Speaker 3: he's kicked something like fourteen goals or something in the
Speaker 3: past three weeks.
Speaker 1: It's like that's not bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially in his role, Like you don't see players
Speaker 3: in that role like they might bob up every so often,
Speaker 3: but he's now consistently turned that one to two goals
Speaker 3: a game into like four or five goals a game.
Speaker 2: It's pretty it's pretty wild what he's done.
Speaker 3: Shot was great for Freo, especially late, but twenty eight
Speaker 3: touch is two goals and Joel Lamarty kicked two for
Speaker 3: Sydney and it was kind of spread evenly, as it
Speaker 3: is with Sydney most times. We know Frio has got
Speaker 3: a really strong defense, especially Alex Pierce has been able
Speaker 3: to shut down pretty much every major key forward in
Speaker 3: the game so far this year, so you knew that
Speaker 3: it kind of had to come from the extras from
Speaker 3: the midfield. But I mean, they have a plethora of
Speaker 3: midfielders that just love to kick goals and rack up touches.
Speaker 3: So big game for Sydney, another win on the road,
Speaker 3: which is like great for them, and then they go
Speaker 3: back to the Sydney diverse Calton this week, a big.
Speaker 1: Game coming up. Move on, prays up to McCarthy family,
Speaker 1: anyone that's got to know him over the years and
Speaker 1: has become friends with them, and we're all thinking about
Speaker 1: you and hopefully you're going all right and get to
Speaker 1: celebrate an amazing life that was. Now we'll move into
Speaker 1: the Hawthorn versus Saint Kilda game. Now I don't know
Speaker 1: if many people pick this one. Hawthorn beats Saint kilder
Speaker 1: fifty eight to fifty three.
Speaker 3: I swear I thought you were going to say, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure many people watched this one because Hawthorne Saint
Speaker 3: Kilda in lawns.
Speaker 1: Where it's not mine.
Speaker 3: Look at that scored fifty eight to fifty three.
Speaker 2: What's Oh, what's the point going down there? I reckon
Speaker 2: it would have been.
Speaker 3: More entertaining if they had just played Uno in the
Speaker 3: middle in the center circle and the winner of that
Speaker 3: gets to win the game.
Speaker 2: Because you're paying money to go and watch that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was either. They all had
Speaker 1: like a medal around their neck after the game.
Speaker 3: Mate participation, so like rocking up to that. They should
Speaker 3: have given medals to the crowd.
Speaker 1: Well okay, well yeah, okay, we're going to go into
Speaker 1: this this post game stuff. Then we're going into the
Speaker 1: actual game, because there was also the Prime Minister decided
Speaker 1: to jump into the circle. I'm sorry, what if the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister is asking to jump into the circle and
Speaker 1: be like, nah, maybe not for you. You didn't didn't
Speaker 1: put your life on the line smashing into bodies left,
Speaker 1: right and center. You sit behind you know, a desk
Speaker 1: on a single day, acting as though you're running this country.
Speaker 1: You're gonna act like a big sports fan. Get out here.
Speaker 1: No chance you're getting in.
Speaker 3: I've seen clips of elbow out there kicking the footing.
Speaker 3: I swear he said he used to play, which I
Speaker 3: don't know what league.
Speaker 1: Can we just can we run back to who was
Speaker 1: the front minister that like hit a kid? Well, like
Speaker 1: playing football or soccer. He just went trains strolled too,
Speaker 1: like an elementary school kid. Oh man that there was
Speaker 1: some rough vision for him that might have heard his
Speaker 1: you know, his votes in the poll.
Speaker 3: There's no good There's one good like politician that I
Speaker 3: wanted to see at sporting events, Bob Hawk.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so he could chug your beer. That's all
Speaker 1: he wanted to see. That was the best part that
Speaker 1: was actually that was actually the thing that probably people
Speaker 1: could agree with most was that he was a legend.
Speaker 3: He was legit. I think Julia Gillard like is a
Speaker 3: genuine Bulldogs fan, like a real fan, not like sco
Speaker 3: Is Like I love the Sharkis in the NRL. It's like,
Speaker 3: shut up, you know, it's just it's not real. It's
Speaker 3: not you don't like the Sharkis. You're just rocking up
Speaker 3: for political points.
Speaker 1: A big West coast man. We're gone, We've.
Speaker 2: Gone, We're gone way down. We're politics.
Speaker 1: We're going into politics here.
Speaker 2: Have you seen Nick Watson play?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's quite short. He's quite short, so I didn't
Speaker 3: know if you could have seen it, you might just
Speaker 3: look straight over.
Speaker 2: But he is exciting.
Speaker 3: Kick two goals on the on the day, like obviously
Speaker 3: in his position, doesn't rack up a lot of the ball,
Speaker 3: but put speed on it, dishes it off a couple
Speaker 3: of goal assists, like he's going to be so exciting
Speaker 3: for this Hawthorne team that's progressing really quickly.
Speaker 1: Yea to watch.
Speaker 3: And then Jian Yukan we know it every week, but
Speaker 3: he got another thirty one. Max King managed to kick
Speaker 3: two goals. But Roan Marshall for a player in the
Speaker 3: losing team, these stats twenty eight touches, eleven tackles, thirty
Speaker 3: five hitouts, twelve clearances.
Speaker 1: You kidding me? Quadruple double got the Quad Dub, the
Speaker 1: Quad Dub casual run.
Speaker 3: That's real call of duty, specially you got the quad Dub.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they did point out I watched the I
Speaker 3: watched the thing on first Crack and I were saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, you watched for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Kingy.
Speaker 3: Joe Montagna and hudder, shout out. I'm sure they watched,
Speaker 3: but they were saying that Marshall grabs it out, does
Speaker 3: the big high long bomb and most of those the
Speaker 3: twelve clearances like ten were ineffective. So it happened a
Speaker 3: few times. I think Karan Briggs was taking it out
Speaker 3: of the ruck a lot and bombing it. Have you
Speaker 3: been given any guidance on that? Would you like to
Speaker 3: grab it out you just can't? Or are you a
Speaker 3: pure craft tapped ruckman and you don't want to take
Speaker 3: it out? What's what's your What do you think about
Speaker 3: big rucks that just pluck it out of the ruck
Speaker 3: and just bomb it for it only?
Speaker 1: It's bad. But I think my personal experience of this
Speaker 1: with you know George Gowie that's rolling through there, Nicks
Speaker 1: and Pendles and a few of those of the like
Speaker 1: Jack Crisp another one, you know, hypothetical, Let's say you
Speaker 1: take out of the rock and you don't get it,
Speaker 1: you're getting some feedback. Let's just say that you're getting
Speaker 1: some feedback. Mate. I'm open off on my due diligence
Speaker 1: to make sure that I've got off my man, just
Speaker 1: get the damn ball to where you say you're gonna
Speaker 1: put it. Yeah, And I think after a few sprays
Speaker 1: by the midfielders, I've learned my lesson. I just made
Speaker 1: just get it to them. Your stat sheet is not
Speaker 1: going to be high, but just give it to the
Speaker 1: boys and let them do their thing. And then I mean,
Speaker 1: like over the weekend I had Nick Daykoss gave me
Speaker 1: a spray because I gave a handball received like he
Speaker 1: sold it and he went by the other way and
Speaker 1: I was like, mate, calm down, forty use the user.
Speaker 1: Come on what you do. I was like, dude, give
Speaker 1: them a touch someone else. No, I that does so rude,
Speaker 1: So give someone else.
Speaker 3: Let's jump over to s and and g WS game.
Speaker 3: Because I want to say this and I want to
Speaker 3: be real clear on it. I was really probably borderline
Speaker 3: disrespectful to Essendon preseason. I'm going to put my hand
Speaker 3: up say probably didn't see them being where they are.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're the only one.
Speaker 3: I thought the players they drafted in a few question
Speaker 3: marks about who they got.
Speaker 1: They traded for some good ones.
Speaker 3: Well they're good players, but I just thought it was
Speaker 3: ahead of the time where they were at so they've
Speaker 3: obviously assessed their premiership window very well, even though Brad
Speaker 3: Scott said it's an eight year window whatever weird using
Speaker 3: phrasing he used for.
Speaker 1: The runway and they were getting a new runway out.
Speaker 3: There there now and this is like previous years they've had.
Speaker 3: At times they'll bank a few wins with an easier
Speaker 3: drawer and then when they come up against tough opposition,
Speaker 3: not now because you know what they're going to get.
Speaker 3: We did have question marks going into this to be fair,
Speaker 3: because we are learning week on week. We said at Marvel,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that like it makes it a
Speaker 3: way different ball game, and it did. Essendon came out
Speaker 3: eighty two point victors over GWS sixty two.
Speaker 1: And your boys took an l.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're on shaky ground at the moment, so I
Speaker 3: don't know what's happening at GWS.
Speaker 2: They do have a big game.
Speaker 3: This week which we'll talk about later, but massive game
Speaker 3: from Essendon. So I just want to give Essendon all
Speaker 3: the props. I just want to say, well done, congratulations,
Speaker 3: great game.
Speaker 2: Langford again kick four if you talked about him, talk.
Speaker 3: About Langford right, Another Ford that is casually under appreciated.
Speaker 1: He's an undappreciated player for sure.
Speaker 3: Like he racked him up last year. He's kicking like
Speaker 3: fifty and stuff a year. That's like, I don't know
Speaker 3: why he doesn't get the attention they deserve.
Speaker 2: Another bug there, like.
Speaker 1: A waterman, Yeah, just like a not super tall, tall enough,
Speaker 1: just just nice, nice minute permits.
Speaker 3: He's gone, it's like the third four but playing like
Speaker 3: the big key for but it's very interesting. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I have a bug bear with commentators and people in
Speaker 3: the media that say, geez, no one talks about this guy,
Speaker 3: when it's like you're the you're the people employed and
Speaker 3: paid to talk about that guy. So I don't know
Speaker 3: how he doesn't get more.
Speaker 1: Plaudits, but get them on this podcast.
Speaker 2: He does.
Speaker 3: Hogan and greendkick to each but it was Cow Awards,
Speaker 3: Big three hundred games legend.
Speaker 2: Have you met a.
Speaker 3: Tougher guy in footy? I'm trying to think your name.
Speaker 3: Cement Heads So he usually popped.
Speaker 1: His shoulder out and replayed him. He's like, I'm good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he looks just like what he looked.
Speaker 2: Annoyed that people were making a big fuss about it.
Speaker 1: The next Sam Taylor and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: looks disgusting, and he's like sitting there and going, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good, let's go. Let's go into the next stoppage.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can you just get that back in there?
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, it's a weird one because GWS got a
Speaker 3: lot of great players from the Bulldog.
Speaker 1: Drafts, the Bulldogs apologies the Bulldogs.
Speaker 3: They got the cow Award. They also Ryan Griffin another
Speaker 3: great one, and they did get Tom Boyd in return
Speaker 3: who did win on the flag. So I feel like
Speaker 3: it's a bit you take it, you take it. But
Speaker 3: he's had a massive career, obviously starting at the Dogs.
Speaker 3: You assume he's going to finish at GWS. But he
Speaker 3: kicked their first ever goal.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2: And he's still here.
Speaker 1: So he's a legend of the game and one of
Speaker 1: the nicest guys of me too.
Speaker 3: He's been on the full journey with GWS and it
Speaker 3: looks like they're going to be up there again this year.
Speaker 3: But on this occasion they did lose to Essendon. There
Speaker 3: was a really really cool moment that we need to
Speaker 3: spotlight with Gwelfie kicking a goal. He actually kicked three
Speaker 3: on the night, which is like a massive return, especially
Speaker 3: for him and his role. But kicked a goal and
Speaker 3: celebrated by flashing his nails and we noticed that he
Speaker 3: had all of his fingernails painted red.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you see this story?
Speaker 1: It was It was interesting. I think he had gone
Speaker 1: to the hospital during the week to visit a young
Speaker 1: patient that was going through a bit and they did
Speaker 1: it b in nail painting and he said, Hey, if
Speaker 1: I kick a goal this week, I'm going to show
Speaker 1: these nails as my celebration. And it was just a
Speaker 1: real wholesome kind of moment, like this is the cool
Speaker 1: thing about being a player is like you get to
Speaker 1: be able to have fans that maybe are struggling or
Speaker 1: going through something in their life and then be able
Speaker 1: to give some kind of like hope or inspiration to
Speaker 1: them during those tough times. And seeing this kind of
Speaker 1: story over the weekend was one of those feel good
Speaker 1: stories where you sit there and you go, you know what,
Speaker 1: some pretty amazing, cool things that come out of sport,
Speaker 1: and it's an opportunity to be able to brighten someone's
Speaker 1: day and you know, make their make their day, because
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not always you know, cards don't always fall
Speaker 1: your way, and if you can try to change someone's
Speaker 1: life for the better, that's what GWEFFI did, so you know,
Speaker 1: props to him. It's it's a beautiful little jesture you
Speaker 1: did over the weekend, and we're big fans of that
Speaker 1: here at the pod.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me to pay mone else.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I was going to say, did you promise
Speaker 3: that the kid's probably still there going like when he
Speaker 3: kicks a goal?
Speaker 2: How many rounds I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of cute. What for is that for
Speaker 1: Big Freeze coming out?
Speaker 2: Well, that's not your dead one, very.
Speaker 1: Very dead ones. The other one very side borrowed story.
Speaker 1: But we had a baby shoff for all my best
Speaker 1: friends and I took her out to get her ours
Speaker 1: done nice. So I only got my big tonel done
Speaker 1: because the rest are falling off. Random storytime. Anyway, move
Speaker 1: on to the next game.
Speaker 2: So they need more paint for your big z.
Speaker 1: They charge me double.
Speaker 2: Let's to this one because this is where it starts
Speaker 2: to get a.
Speaker 3: Bit greener, because we're working our way through some of
Speaker 3: these games and I'm starting to get concerned because we
Speaker 3: look at the bottom three teams on the ladder North,
Speaker 3: you talk about Richmond, you talk about West Coast, and
Speaker 3: there there's been a problem for a little bit. But
Speaker 3: now we're getting into dangerous territory because these teams are
Speaker 3: really starting to be non competitive, like they're getting scores
Speaker 3: below fifty on a consistent basis. So it's it's just
Speaker 3: a way for teams to fill up on their percentage
Speaker 3: and if you're lucky enough to verse one of these
Speaker 3: teams twice, it has a massive impact on the way
Speaker 3: that the ladder shouts out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always been that kind of issue, I guess
Speaker 1: of like, and you never know exactly where a team's
Speaker 1: going to fall by the end of the year, but
Speaker 1: I think there's always because you play certain teams twice
Speaker 1: and certain teams only once. There's always this bit of
Speaker 1: commentary around teams that have an easier schedule, you could
Speaker 1: say at the end of the year, where they might
Speaker 1: play a team that's on the bottom of the ladder
Speaker 1: twice and they can kind of get that percentage boost.
Speaker 1: But for us, we've got the half game in there,
Speaker 1: so the percentage boost doesn't mean as much to us,
Speaker 1: which is an interesting idea, but.
Speaker 3: Let's jump into the game. Richmond forty two against Bulldogs
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty three and absolute demolition. And it's
Speaker 3: not going to get any easier for Richmond because they
Speaker 3: had three injuries out of this game with Banks coming
Speaker 3: in and then now he's going to be out with concussion,
Speaker 3: Graham did his hammy, and Rially had a bit of
Speaker 3: a sick in kind of leg injury, and we'll wait
Speaker 3: to see how long he's.
Speaker 1: They're having a bit of a West Coast of last year,
Speaker 1: aren't they. Yeah, that's what they're having at the moment.
Speaker 3: Very true.
Speaker 1: The wild thing is, you know, Western Bulldogs under the
Speaker 1: pump last week, Media on them again. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the typical thing. They lose a game, media is on them.
Speaker 1: Next week the demolished someone. Media is like, they're fine,
Speaker 1: They're all good.
Speaker 2: Because their percentage is huge.
Speaker 3: Yes, as they sit, I think they're in one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty odd percentage, sitting outside the eight. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's going to be interesting. I feel like the media
Speaker 3: is held off them this week.
Speaker 1: They'll be back on.
Speaker 3: They haven't said like, oh no, they're back or whatever,
Speaker 3: because they have GWS next week up in Sydney. So
Speaker 3: I feel like they're just holding fire. It's a bit
Speaker 3: of a ceasefire and they're putting one back in the
Speaker 3: chamber because you know, Richmond, they just don't have the
Speaker 3: players out on the park at the moment to be competitive. Norton, Nutt,
Speaker 3: James Harms and Darcy all kicked for Bonta Pali again
Speaker 3: thirty to ten clearances and a goal. Adam Trelaw, who
Speaker 3: doesn't get the plaud it's he deserves, forty one disposal,
Speaker 3: seven marks, five tackles and a goal of the Year
Speaker 3: contender from the pocket. Good celebration too. On his back,
Speaker 3: hands up. He looks shocked.
Speaker 1: So he looked at shock. I would be amazed if
Speaker 1: he was going for gold there. If you're going for
Speaker 1: goal the selfish that I say, it's that. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'd probably admitted too. If you go from gold that
Speaker 1: angle falling down on the side, just as a talkie forward.
Speaker 1: If you missed that one, I'm giving you a spray
Speaker 1: from I put it in the top of the square.
Speaker 1: He looked very shocked, so he went in and it
Speaker 1: alln't good because he kicked it. He went in.
Speaker 3: Now liber missed this game. I'm really concerned for Liber.
Speaker 3: I hope he's okay with all of his concussion injuries.
Speaker 3: But we will say Ed Richards shout out. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: moved into the middle. Thirty four touches, ten tackles, seven clearances.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: We all know how good liber is getting the ball
Speaker 3: out of there. But it's great that Ed Richards has
Speaker 3: really stood up in a new rule and he's in
Speaker 3: a new role and he's just doing, you know, really
Speaker 3: good things.
Speaker 2: So that's awesome.
Speaker 3: Vander Mere for the Bulldogs had a shit injury, so
Speaker 3: we'll watch that one. But yeah, it's it's a real
Speaker 3: ceasefire on Western Bulldogs this.
Speaker 1: If they went VERSUSBS next week, it'd be a be
Speaker 1: a big dub for them, Big dub, big dub.
Speaker 3: Now we're over to your boys, Gold Coast Sons one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty to North Melbourne fifty two.
Speaker 1: Chee choe. The trains are covering through twenty to fifty two.
Speaker 1: My boys are back. You know what it is. We
Speaker 1: need to just move up to the Dorwin. We need
Speaker 1: to move up to Tiya Tay right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you're gonna say it was Dimmers shorts.
Speaker 1: Well, you know there's something about yeah, it's Gold Coast
Speaker 1: weather up there up there in Dormand. But they did
Speaker 1: have a twelve goal second half for the Gold Coast,
Speaker 1: which is the that definitely helps, no doubt about that. Now.
Speaker 1: I'll let you do the math on that one. But
Speaker 1: I've been king also kicked three. Jed Walter kick two.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a superstar of this fella.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's for a guy that so he's obviously still
Speaker 3: very young, but he's huge.
Speaker 2: I don't know how kids.
Speaker 3: Are getting this big, Like they're coming in at like
Speaker 3: six six and their midfielders and stuff. He's going to
Speaker 3: be a big key forward for him, so they're going
Speaker 3: to have a really strong duo up there. But I
Speaker 3: think the best thing about watching him, the funnest part
Speaker 3: of his game is him after the ball hits the ground.
Speaker 3: So you think big key forward clunking it going back,
Speaker 3: kicking long goals or whatever.
Speaker 2: But he's ferocious.
Speaker 3: He like chase and tackles these players coming out of
Speaker 3: their defensive fifty and it's so fun to watch. His
Speaker 3: follow up is like crazy. He you know, he gets
Speaker 3: goals as a result of it, so it's almost like
Speaker 3: he's playing a small forward but he's he's a huge unit,
Speaker 3: so it's going to be awesome to see him and
Speaker 3: the just the rest of the Academy players they have
Speaker 3: coming through the Dimmer gets to have you know, fun with.
Speaker 1: Because he deserves them because hes Tuke.
Speaker 3: Miller took took twenty nine touches and a goal. And
Speaker 3: another good story. Lloyd Johnston kicked his first goal in
Speaker 3: his third game. But he's from the Northern Territory, so
Speaker 3: he had thirty family friends in the crowd watching him.
Speaker 1: A lot of change room passes. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: pick and choose who's coming into the rooms after the game.
Speaker 2: Has the Northern Territory change room set up?
Speaker 1: I have never been there, but I actually have been there.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the change room setup would be, though,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that. Usually like away games, you get
Speaker 1: even less, so there might be like a mass of
Speaker 1: like sixty. So if you're asking for half the change impasses,
Speaker 1: look for a hometown kid though, like you know from
Speaker 1: the area.
Speaker 2: Other people aren't using there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, surely you just get everyone you know,
Speaker 1: puts it into a pool and gives them to him.
Speaker 3: Let's jump over to Adelaide versus Brisbane, because this was exciting,
Speaker 3: but like again, you left with that hollow feeling after
Speaker 3: the game. It was made a good point because when
Speaker 3: you're watching at home on the TV, you go, oh, wow, Draw,
Speaker 3: that's exciting, and then you kind of go and start
Speaker 3: cooking dinner.
Speaker 2: But when you're at the game, everyone.
Speaker 1: Is just like, well, what what are we doing now?
Speaker 2: What the hell?
Speaker 3: Like, there's no song play, there's no up, there's no
Speaker 3: you're just kind of nothing, and you kind of just
Speaker 3: get on the train and go home or you get
Speaker 3: back into your car and it's yeah, it's just a
Speaker 3: real nothing feeling for it. It's more so for people
Speaker 3: at the ground I reckon and the players like.
Speaker 1: People who are more emotionally invested, because we're seeing it.
Speaker 3: You ran your ass off and there's still both teams
Speaker 3: are only thinking of opportunities where they could have won
Speaker 3: the game. But Adelaide Brisbane ninety old Draw the fog foggy.
Speaker 3: He came out, had an absolute blinder of a game.
Speaker 3: Kick four goals and then yeah, one from the boundary
Speaker 3: and he just kicks dead straight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, teach me like arrow straight.
Speaker 3: Well you used to you know what they used to.
Speaker 3: They still say it. Every time said shot. They're like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is a really strong part of his game, and
Speaker 3: then it misses and.
Speaker 1: They just stopped talking about this freaking commentation.
Speaker 3: I think the mozz has gotten even worse this year
Speaker 3: across the board. Really, with like Fox Footy commentators especially,
Speaker 3: I feel like they're trying to do it. They know
Speaker 3: what they're doing, and they're, oh, he's kicked twelve goals
Speaker 3: won for the season. He put it in the book.
Speaker 3: We need goals and it's a real thing. It's the
Speaker 3: mozz is a real thing. Wait attention everyone.
Speaker 1: This is big news. This is big news.
Speaker 3: Big Riley O'Brien has wheeled out the plumber.
Speaker 1: Let's go, jeez, that could really get the clip that out?
Speaker 3: Can we put that as a sound effect in the paddle?
Speaker 3: Big Riley O'Brien, fifty six hit fifty six, hit out
Speaker 3: fifty six.
Speaker 1: Well, they're playing prisonman, Big Oh, here's a good rockman too.
Speaker 1: What do you have, Big oh?
Speaker 3: Still had forty hit outs?
Speaker 1: Okay, did anyone else? Was it just was it a
Speaker 1: rainy day?
Speaker 3: No, nor at all.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. I there's like fifty six like
Speaker 1: stoppages in a game for us usually much less ninety
Speaker 1: six during the whole like between the two of.
Speaker 3: Them, and they had a couple like big Joey Diego's
Speaker 3: in there and pitches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the last one too. That is insane. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of stoppages.
Speaker 3: A lot of pressure, big high volume tackle game. So
Speaker 3: it might explain a little bit of it. But it
Speaker 3: was a ripping game to watch.
Speaker 1: It was very good.
Speaker 3: It was a fun ass game to watch, and like
Speaker 3: the at the dying moments, each team had a crack
Speaker 3: at winning it.
Speaker 2: It was everything you wanted except for a result.
Speaker 3: And yeah, big Jack Pain, well we will give a
Speaker 3: shout out to a defender because they don't.
Speaker 1: Often get anywhere get the props.
Speaker 3: But he had his hands full in defense and took
Speaker 3: twelve marks game, a lot of intercepts. Some of his
Speaker 3: kicks maybe dish off the run around.
Speaker 2: Handball, but we don't look we're focusing on that.
Speaker 3: But Jordan Dawson, big fella, the skip just running through
Speaker 3: carried him in the last quarter. A lot of players
Speaker 3: were quiet until the last quarter, like Locking Neil was
Speaker 3: down on possessions, Matt Crouch was down on possessions, and
Speaker 3: they all ended up racking it up in the last
Speaker 3: quarter because it was ping ponging around in there, back
Speaker 3: and forth all last quarter. But Jordan Dawson eight hundred
Speaker 3: meters game, that's a lot of meters, two goal assists,
Speaker 3: twenty seven touches. But there was a moment that he
Speaker 3: acknowledged in the postgame interview that he had where he
Speaker 3: was just really down on himself because he had a
Speaker 3: shot to win the game and it faded late and
Speaker 3: went through for a behind, leveled up the scores, and
Speaker 3: that was all she wrote. There was an interesting coaching
Speaker 3: move at halftime. You know, if something's not going your way,
Speaker 3: you might roll the dice. Well, they made their sub
Speaker 3: tactical sub at halftime, so let's get more speed in
Speaker 3: this bitch. And unfortunately, after they made the sub about
Speaker 3: two minutes into the third quarter, as happens, Warrel injured
Speaker 3: his wrists and got carted straight down the race with
Speaker 3: his arm slinged in his jumper. So you know, it's
Speaker 3: not a good one and.
Speaker 1: You just lost one one person for no benefit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got up to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Jeez, the reactions weren't great. Nixy fully had his head
Speaker 3: in his head like it was a bit of you know,
Speaker 3: obviously upset the warrel was injured. But I'm sure in
Speaker 3: the back of his mind he's like, shit, we just
Speaker 3: made out a s but yeah, interesting rewaltered. Damas picked it.
Speaker 3: He's on the Fox Footy commentary and he's like, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't be making your sub now would you wouldn't be
Speaker 3: making your sub? And then within five minutes he was
Speaker 3: proven right and got to have a bit of a head.
Speaker 2: But he's a smart man, Jack.
Speaker 1: But yeah, next Tasmanian have coach and amazing.
Speaker 3: We haven't even talked about the exciting news out of Tazzy.
Speaker 3: They got new people going down there.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll move on to the West Coast versus Collingwood game.
Speaker 3: Let's jump into that because Collingwood West Coast. I was
Speaker 3: a bit nervous about this, but didn't have to have
Speaker 3: any nerves. Maybe after the first little couple of minutes
Speaker 3: kick the first Yeah, but Collingwood victors one hundred and
Speaker 3: three to thirty seven. But before the game, we all
Speaker 3: loved it. Mother's Day, love footy. On Mother's Day, take
Speaker 3: her down to the game. I don't. I just send
Speaker 3: my mom a message and that's about it. But Mother's Day,
Speaker 3: the boys ran up the race holding flowers and there
Speaker 3: was a wall of mothers and you all ran up
Speaker 3: and gave the flowers to your mum's. How special was that?
Speaker 1: No, it was really cool. I don't think that happens
Speaker 1: very often football and bringing flowers out when they're supposed
Speaker 1: to be just angry reaching the ground. It was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was lovely that we had him in for for
Speaker 1: Mother's Day. We had him in the day before to
Speaker 1: celebrate Mother's Day with all the different players and stuff,
Speaker 1: which was a cool, special kind of event to have
Speaker 1: the family in and and see some of the inner
Speaker 1: sanctum stuff, right, So it was awesome. And then be
Speaker 1: able to play on the day and have a few
Speaker 1: little shout outs, you know, during the week. Jane's mom,
Speaker 1: you know, she did the coin toss for Darcy. Sorry, Jane.
Speaker 1: Darcy's mom did the coin toss, which is cool, chance mom.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there was just like little things that kind
Speaker 1: of came out throughout the week. She's so good. Oh,
Speaker 1: she's so funny. She's an entertainer, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Can I say I have I feel like Pendall's mom
Speaker 3: and Braiden's mom looked very similar.
Speaker 1: I could see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see it. Not too sure that's just
Speaker 2: picked up across.
Speaker 1: We'll let the people. But Donna, Donna one of my
Speaker 1: favorites for sure. She is the media darling. I think
Speaker 1: of the mother's.
Speaker 3: Is that where Braiden Maynard gets all his spunk, his
Speaker 3: charisma riz?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think he gets his riz
Speaker 1: from his mom. Yeah, from a small All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jump. It was a rough game for West Coast. I
Speaker 1: think we had a control for most of the game.
Speaker 1: We dominated a center bounce which was really good, good
Speaker 1: science there. And there's a goal by Nick I want
Speaker 1: to say it just just bang one two, one two
Speaker 1: bang and then kicks one from like fifty five And
Speaker 1: I think that was the moment where it just kind
Speaker 1: of teetered real heavy one way in the momentum just
Speaker 1: fell our way. And we had quite a few goalkickers.
Speaker 1: We had Joey Richard kicks his first goal debuting, also
Speaker 1: had Jack Barttel also debuted on the day. Unfortunate for him,
Speaker 1: he went out with concussion so didn't finish the game.
Speaker 1: But Joey Richard did kick his first goal, which was
Speaker 1: quite fun. Always an enjoyable moment to have a first
Speaker 1: game or kick his first goal in the AFL. Had
Speaker 1: two shots at it and then the third one he
Speaker 1: got in, so we're all stoked with that. But he
Speaker 1: also was a little shout out to him highest pressure
Speaker 1: player on the ground, nice, which is what you want
Speaker 1: to see from someone coming into the field like he
Speaker 1: was everywhere. He was just tackling everyone. Just a menace,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you like as a young
Speaker 1: player coming into a squad. That's what you want out
Speaker 1: of him. Like you could control your effort going around
Speaker 1: the ball, whether you kick goals and you know, all
Speaker 1: that stuff happens and touches whatever. But if you can
Speaker 1: control the amount of pressure you put on the team,
Speaker 1: that's one of the things we value highly. So credit
Speaker 1: to Joey Richardson be able to do that. A few
Speaker 1: injuries out of this Joe, sorry not Joey. We had
Speaker 1: scrolling down bro. We had Harvey Harrison did his ankle,
Speaker 1: Jeremy how did his groin? Jackie Bottel, as I mentioned
Speaker 1: his had a concussion. So a few more injuries for us,
Speaker 1: which is not ideal, but I will say, there's one
Speaker 1: thing I want to shout out here, Harley read for
Speaker 1: he had a little specky against It was actually on
Speaker 1: his own teammate was Ojack Tarlan. Dude, just let him
Speaker 1: have a ladder on his back. Good little mark there.
Speaker 1: Don't know if it will be mark of the year.
Speaker 3: It was clean, but it was clot it was.
Speaker 1: It was a good little clunk there. Yeah, Waterman was out.
Speaker 1: I think they missed him quite a bit in this game.
Speaker 1: Just a different kind of you know, award line for him.
Speaker 1: A lot of I guess pressure onto Jack Darland. He
Speaker 1: had a few heavy tackles football. The big fellow was
Speaker 1: just bang into a few of our boys. But it's funny.
Speaker 1: I think he got olag. I want to say, he
Speaker 1: like smacked him and the next thing, you know, he's
Speaker 1: like helping them off the love. Yeah, that was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: And then another funny thing that came from this domb sheet.
Speaker 1: Now we all know Dim Sheeter, this guy who kicked
Speaker 1: the game winner in the twenty eighteen Grand Final, and
Speaker 1: it is safe to say the Congwood supporters have not forgotten.
Speaker 1: They booed him the whole day anytime he got the ball.
Speaker 1: Just a straight boo and it's safe. I think it's safe.
Speaker 1: You know, we can all say that Dom Sheet is
Speaker 1: still living in in a lot of Kinngwood supporters' minds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would take that as a win. If I was,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, they'll never forget me. But yeah, going
Speaker 3: into the game, everyone comparing Nick Dacos to Harley Reid,
Speaker 3: and it was kind of just watching what they were
Speaker 3: doing throughout the game. Nick Dacos off to a flying
Speaker 3: so was racking them up. You know you're on when
Speaker 3: you kick it and the rebound comes back to you
Speaker 3: and then you run on and kick your own goal
Speaker 3: with all your own disposals. So it was, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't feel like it's fair to compare two players that
Speaker 3: are in completely different molds, and I feel like the
Speaker 3: comparison only draws negativity because it's like only one can
Speaker 3: be good and the other isn't good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but watching the game, man Harley Reid was so
Speaker 3: impressive and he just kept at it, kept going at it.
Speaker 3: There was one moment you took a mark and kind
Speaker 3: of bounced together and I was like, cheers, is he
Speaker 3: a big boy? In personally?
Speaker 1: Usually if you take the market and I'm a big
Speaker 1: fellow and you're running through. He gave me a little bumble.
Speaker 1: Solid solid should feel those pipes.
Speaker 3: Think about his age.
Speaker 1: If you was like nineteen, you should be this solid.
Speaker 1: You should have another year or two of getting in
Speaker 1: the gym before you this big brother.
Speaker 3: I think if you ran out and you accidentally bumped
Speaker 3: into Joey Richards, he's a bit I loved him, but
Speaker 3: you just like sometimes you look at like I think
Speaker 3: of Jed Walters from Gold Coast and you're like, some
Speaker 3: of these kids are coming in just massive, and it's scary.
Speaker 3: You must shift some tin in the in the gym,
Speaker 3: I reckon. I'm sure you still have him covered. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a very interesting game. It was It was
Speaker 3: good to just put it at ease and kind of
Speaker 3: know that Congwood was going to get the job done.
Speaker 3: And then, yeah, you kind of slowed down a bit
Speaker 3: in the last quarter, as you do, and you also
Speaker 3: had to come.
Speaker 1: With injuries and lets people on the bench. I think
Speaker 1: we just need to calm the game down, just finish
Speaker 1: it off.
Speaker 3: Move forward.
Speaker 2: So how do you see.
Speaker 3: This kind of You've got Schultzey to come back in
Speaker 3: that'll cover one of the roles. It's already been said
Speaker 3: that like Bow is going to miss again, so it's
Speaker 3: still going to be missing a few of these players
Speaker 3: going into the up and coming weeks.
Speaker 1: It's going to be, you know, a little selection week.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a watch and see, that's for sure,
Speaker 3: because yeah.
Speaker 1: Look last week was a watch and see and this
Speaker 1: was the outcome. So it's a good sign that we
Speaker 1: have some young talent coming through and you know, whenever
Speaker 1: they step up to AFL level. We talked about in
Speaker 1: this podcast a lot is being able to shine when
Speaker 1: the moment comes. And over the weekend, I think there's
Speaker 1: quite a few of the young guns. I did that
Speaker 1: and you know we had a big spread of goal kickers,
Speaker 1: which is a good sign.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you thinking now at this point in
Speaker 3: the season, happier where it's all trending because start very slow.
Speaker 1: It was panic stations apparently at the corner of the media.
Speaker 1: I'd come down three.
Speaker 3: How did you turn your pressure around, because obviously the
Speaker 3: pressure's gone through the roof first, I think three rounds
Speaker 3: you were twelfth for pressure. Next five rounds, which you've
Speaker 3: clearly improved. The win last Yeah, number one in terms
Speaker 3: of pressure.
Speaker 1: So great statistic about you.
Speaker 3: How did that?
Speaker 2: How did you spark that?
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a mindset thing a bit, I think, and
Speaker 1: we do a bit more training stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: whenever you put as a focus and show the clips
Speaker 1: and stuff, it's like, you know, you know what to do.
Speaker 1: It's just being able, not being able to. We're all
Speaker 1: able to, but it's putting it as a focus. And
Speaker 1: when we put as a focus as one of the things,
Speaker 1: you know, that makes us such a good team. That's
Speaker 1: whenever I think we kind of started really honing in
Speaker 1: on that and celebrating that, you know as not only
Speaker 1: in meetings but out on the ground and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: There was little tweaks that we made to focus on
Speaker 1: the positives of what we can do from a pressure standpoint,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what we did to turn around.
Speaker 3: Jeez, Pendles was good too, wasn't he.
Speaker 1: A little back line? He had a mark in the
Speaker 1: back line. I'm sitting on the bench and go, oh,
Speaker 1: look at Jay, You're taking marks in the back line.
Speaker 2: Was a bit scared those he's going for twenty thousand.
Speaker 1: Well it's still playing back line too. The old fellows
Speaker 1: getting into the back line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah I did. I didn't hear that that he
Speaker 3: had a bit of a change of role.
Speaker 1: It played really well there too. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 3: I think that's what I always say it and it's
Speaker 3: a very basic old guy thing to say. But pressure.
Speaker 3: It all comes back to pressure, and young kids can
Speaker 3: come in and they can bring pressure. They might not
Speaker 3: have the skill of Scott Pendlebury. That it's four hundred
Speaker 3: games in.
Speaker 1: Why did you point to me when you said that.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember you.
Speaker 1: Looked to me like a skot plebe.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's all we've got.
Speaker 1: That is it. That is it from the Footy for
Speaker 1: the round. Thank you so much for listening in you
Speaker 1: absolute legends. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Oh we do have to say another prayers up? What's
Speaker 3: that because Corey Homicide Williams. Oh, yes, big friend of
Speaker 3: the pod came on. But just I had him through
Speaker 3: the studio a couple of times, met him, was lucky
Speaker 3: enough to meet and work with him on ESPN at
Speaker 3: NBL overtime and just an incredible bloke, Like just an
Speaker 3: amazing bloke lit up the room, great energy, It filled
Speaker 3: you with like confidence and like just this great hype man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, hype man.
Speaker 3: It's so sad, Like I was so shocked by it.
Speaker 3: His mindset was like on another level. It was amazing
Speaker 3: to have him in and we that podcast was like
Speaker 3: one of the longest we've ever done.
Speaker 1: Just because it's he was so willing to give stories
Speaker 1: in like entertainment and the way he spoke and the
Speaker 1: way he you know, was able to conduct himself. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it was tough. It was tough to hear that. I know,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he was going through a battle with
Speaker 1: cancer for for a while and it's it's a tough thing. Man.
Speaker 1: He was one of those people though that you know,
Speaker 1: if there was any person that was going to try
Speaker 1: his hardest and try to fight through this thing, he
Speaker 1: was going to be the best, best, best chance of
Speaker 1: doing it. So unfortunate news that he's passed over the
Speaker 1: you know, over the week, and we want to say,
Speaker 1: you know, a big shout out to his family. Prays
Speaker 1: up to you all and hopefully you're okay, and you know,
Speaker 1: celebrating an incredible life that he lived, moving from America
Speaker 1: over here playing basketball and being successful with that and
Speaker 1: then making it in the media here. You know, he changed.
Speaker 1: I think the NBL for for the better. And anyone
Speaker 1: that's you know, been involved with him over the years
Speaker 1: always had something amazing to say. So, you know, shout
Speaker 1: out to him and his family hopefully all right, and
Speaker 1: you know, we appreciated his time whenever he was on
Speaker 1: the podcast and had an amazing chat. They actually had
Speaker 1: the I think Ilwara had beaten the NBA. You know,
Speaker 1: he was freaking out after he got out of the
Speaker 1: vand oh, it's such a funny thing. I drove him
Speaker 1: home and he was just like on his phone, like
Speaker 1: losing it. I was like, this guy just loves what
Speaker 1: he does, and.
Speaker 2: I think that's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he obviously had so much more to give, but
Speaker 3: what he gave in the time that he was here,
Speaker 3: it's incredible. It was more than most by a long stretch.
Speaker 3: So yeah, prayers up to homicide and his family and yes, sir.
