WEBVTT - Trump Reaction 😲 Streak Broken 🙌 Mason's Return 🙏 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.360 Hey, let's just welcome back to the Mason Cox Show. 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:10.960 We have a big episode today. We have things all 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.000 football and also we talk about a bit of politics 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:16.000 Trump what happened over the weekend absolutely insane. We'll get 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.680 into that. We also talk about a lightning strike that 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.480 hit an AFL player who had an incredible game over 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.040 the weekend. There's plenty of that. And last so we're 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.599 going to talk about my injury, whether or not I'll 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.880 be playing this week, and how I'm feeling. There's a 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.480 lot in this episode, but before we get into it, 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.159 I must say it is important for everyone out there 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.880 in the community that we have been able to create 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.080 to subscribe hit the bell on the podcast platform that 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.480 you listen to this on and also interact with social 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.680 as a massive massive thank you to everyone that has. 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.240 But we want to push that an initiative because it 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.280 is so important for us to help grow. So a 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.640 massive massive thank you to those that have, and a 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.760 please do for those that haven't yet. So without further ado, 0:00:52.800 --> 0:01:01.880 we will get into this podcast starting now. Okay, Legends, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.960 thanks for tuning out as always, but we'll get straight 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.960 into this one. Welcome Brydon oh Mace. 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.360 We have actually so much packed into this episode, probably 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.320 too much, as per usual, too much. But we'll get 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.640 straight into the clangers because I love Ross Line. We 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.120 are a big fan of ROSSI, and there may be 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.480 a ross Lin klanger, so I'm going to try and 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.360 stretch it so it's not a Ross Line clanger. Because 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840 there was a couple of incidents in his game. So 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.000 Kilda went back to a bit of the smelly stuff 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.280 last over the weekend, kicked thirty odd points or whatever, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.240 but there was a moment in the box where he 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.360 may have got a bit miffed, rightfully so, and smashed 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.880 the phone on the desk and it just exploded into 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.160 a million pieces. Now Ross we know sploded. He's on 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:50.800 the good stuff, and he found the humor in it, 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.360 which is Ross Line, the new Ross Line, and he 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.120 put it all back together like it was a piece 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.440 of lego, and then not long later smashed it again. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.360 Then he had to reach into the back row and 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.840 ask one of the assistants if he could borrow their phone. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.760 Really reminiscent of me back on the PlayStation, back in 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.360 the day, when you'd throw the controller down on the 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.560 ground and then you'd like still be miffed, and then 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.080 you realize that you need the controller to play the game, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.480 and then do the you know, the walk with your 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.720 tail between your legs over to pick up the controller. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.640 He did a bit of that, but I'm gonna clang 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.640 whoever's making those phones. He hardly hit it on the 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.040 desk and it's a light shouted into a million pieces. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.959 He needs some harder phone stuff. If it was a 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.320 KNOCKI a thirty two ten. He could slam that thing 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.400 on the desk and it'll break the desk. So I 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.440 think things are getting cheaper, So I'm I'm blaming the economy. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:49.000 Haven't got inflation. He's an angel, you imagine sitting there 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.560 and he's got to douse someone else's phone. So he goes, oh, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.880 such such assistance on the phone. You're like, oh, man, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.920 I'm going to get an absolute just pomp up here, 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.440 and it's ross. You go, what the effort? You just 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.160 like at you, Oh, someone I expected. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.360 He's asking for your phone. I'm like, I brought my 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.519 phone from home. This one's my one. I don't want 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.560 you to smash. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.560 I'll get it to Mike Clanger was during the Callingwood 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.880 versus Geelong game. No We talked about some of the 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.280 best swingmen last week, and the big man, Mark Blitzabs 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.720 came up as one of the best swingmen over the weekend. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.880 He was trying to play every single role from every 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.120 single sport. I think by the time he was finishing 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.519 the game, he had one point. There's a free kick, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.359 and he grabbed the ball and threw it, but themar 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.120 had already called play on so it was not illegal disposal, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.040 you could say. And he threw it back and it 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.560 was just one of those moments you could just see 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.680 the brain fart in his head and he's just gone, yeah, Caps, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.320 just cruise back and defense and sort this out. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.520 Yeah. And I think a couple of the boys around 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.280 him it was like Nick Dacos and Steel was like 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.080 so happy. They were like, oh my god, they just 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:53.720 turned it over. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.000 It's a free kick against I've just got it back 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:56.760 two seconds later. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.320 That's good. You can get where we can get it. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.720 You can't take every roll, blitz You need to hand 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.720 some off on not the way that you handed them off, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.680 but handballs. Let's get through some of the results. Because 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.760 Collingwood they took the l we won't go into that 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.480 one yet. Hawthorne. They got the w over Frio in 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.160 a tight game down in tazzy Sydney back to winning ways, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:22.440 smashed North Melbourne Western Bulldogs, massive win over Carlton, Adelaide 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:27.839 got it done over Ross's boys in pouring rain, terrible, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.920 terrible conditions. Melbourne with a big win over Essendon who 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.480 just weren't quite there. Gold Coast big win over Port 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.640 who they were fighting hard. They were really fighting hard, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.039 both you know, on the scoreboard and Horny Frank through 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.040 a fews of the ground. But we'll get into that later. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:53.040 Richmond they put in a competitive competitive performance against my boys, 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.559 the Giants, but they're back on a roll. And West 0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:00.320 Coast Eagles almost spoiled Brisbees. They for Simo, we got 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.400 out there. He didn't coach, but he'd tossed the coin. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.640 He did all the important stuff. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.600 We could have gone into one hundred klangers on the 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.280 way that situation was handled over the last week. Don't 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.120 get me wrong, but I think Simmo I just love 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.120 his comedic value of like, yeah, I'm getting absolutely screwed here, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.119 and he's just acknowledged it essentially publicly, and they've asked 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.799 him to do what as a bit of a thank 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.719 you for giving us a premiership and everything else. Flipping 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.160 a coin in the next game after you got sacked. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.000 Yeah, it's very much like getting invited to the Christmas 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.440 party after you got the sack. Oh my god, It's 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.920 like he was there with his vintage jumper. He got 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.520 to keep the coin. So I guess ten years of 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.520 coaching's all worth it because you get to keep that coin. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.360 But yeah, he was always up the back and they 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.520 kept cutting to the angle of him in the crowd. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.120 I think one thing that I can confidently say is 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.680 that the newspaper article that obviously the West rolled out 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.839 there was dog shit, actually ended up working in his 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:08.040 favor because it brought everyone together. Whereas like there could 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.400 have been some like awkwardness and all that stuff. Everyone 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.880 rallied and galvanized over their hatred for the print media, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.000 and then like every time so Simo was on the screen, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.839 everyone gave him like a big clap and cheer. It 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.400 was awesome to see. So I'm glad it was a 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.680 little awkward, But thank you to the Western Australian. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.080 For writing the article. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:29.920 Well, like I think. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.599 From you this week, this is very unusual. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.000 Well backfired on them because I you know, they were 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.640 a bit petty because their boy wouldcock got called out 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.320 in the in the press conference for right and all 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.080 the negative. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:48.799 Gen everyone clapped the fact that you're absolute prick, especially. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.240 You think it's like you're it's almost like your home field. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.200 You're like, you've got journos and stuff around you, but 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.120 there's still all the players rock up and give you 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.600 a standing a Let's jump into some big talking points 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:03.000 from throughout the week, because we've seen some new interpretations, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.480 some running changes on the fly. We always love to 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.400 see that we've seen obviously every time you have a 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.320 different interpretation or a rule change or anything, there's always 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.360 a clubs and players figure it out pretty quick and 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.440 then figure out a loophole and how to take advantage 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.040 of that situation. And we're seeing this chicken wing kind 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:31.240 of tackle that has always been praised. Whenever it's everyone 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.000 would always call it the perfect tackle. It's the perfect tackle. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.400 You hold one arm behind their back so that they 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.840 can't really do anything with it, and it's being rewarded 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.640 for the most part. At the moment with players, when 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.280 you're watching the game, it's like, why win the ball? 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.960 There was a couple of instances on in the Collingwood 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.640 Geelong game, Steel picked up the ball, was already immediately tackled, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.960 one arm behind his back, got ping for holding the 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:02.800 ball when previously there was probably no prior. But that 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.280 seems to have taken a back seat. There was Nick Dekos. Yeah, 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.040 picked up the ball immediately chicken wing and he was 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.920 on his knees. Zero things you can do in that 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.520 circumstance holding the ball because he had one arm free. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.160 Now we're just it's going to get murkier and murkier. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.960 But I can see injuries coming in as players are 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.280 getting rewarded with three kicks for these like you've got 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.120 one arm free but one arms pinged and we're going, 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.120 I reckon, We're going to start seeing people get slung 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.840 into the ground with one arm like pinned behind their back. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.920 They're going to have their head just super exposed. There's 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.680 going to be more suspensions for those tackles. You bring 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.360 in one rule or in difference in interpretation and it 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.720 opens up fifty different issues. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.400 Yeah, well, I think this is like, so you say 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.160 there's two sides of the coin of everything, right, So 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.800 obviously this year everyone is quite aware that the umpire 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.640 is a bit hard on, you know, not falling on 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.280 the ball and like needing to get the ball out 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.120 of your hands otherwise they'll call free kick. So you know, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.720 now that people have realized that's the case, and umpires 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.440 are on it, and they're continuously being on it, they've gone, okay, 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.280 hold on. So if I allow him just to get 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.599 it and then I tackle him right away, if he 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.480 doesn't get rid of it, then it's holding the ball, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.320 or if he doesn't do it legally too, that's holding 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:15.840 the ball. So it's like, okay, well, maybe I'll just 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.840 so it's going in there and like smash. It's like 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.480 I can almost get a free kick here if I 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.800 just wait for him to grab it and then lock 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.320 him up right away. And there's a real kind of 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.800 I don't know, like you're not one hundred percent sure 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.160 that half second to a second of having the ball 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.160 of whether or not you have prior opportunity or not. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.520 I think there's a big kind of judgment there that 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.200 the umpires are probably you know, trying to sort out, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:36.959 and the players are sitting there and some of the 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.480 players on the weekend, you know, whenever you lay a 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.720 tackle you're going, oh, snap, Like I kind of thought 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:41.959 we'd get a ball up here, but I'm getting a 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.600 free kick. So yeah, there's there's two sides to the 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.960 to the spectrum as always, and I think there's teams 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.760 now being able to see kind of advantages and in 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.640 that being able to use the fact that teams are 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.320 going to have to forcefully get the ball out as 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.120 quickly as they can. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.840 Yeah, it's going to be very interesting because, yeah, I 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.600 say it, players don't want to take play to ground, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.920 so they're just holding them up in the tackle, which 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.720 means they've got an arm free and they have to 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.760 try and get rid of it. But I just don't 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.080 understand what the point of winning the ball is. If 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:11.679 you're always going to win the ball, that's all you always. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.600 If you can't get rid of it and you're just 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.360 going to get like ping for holding the ball, it's 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.440 given you very little incentive to actually win it. We'll 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.440 move into something that Chris got brought up postgame in 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.480 the Collingwood game. It always helps when the winning coach 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.719 brings up an issue because it doesn't mean they're just salty, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.960 and he brought up the fact that there seemed to 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:39.880 be a lot of non fifteen meters calls throughout the 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.560 course of the night, and it started hot straight away. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.160 So I think Bobby kicked Jamie that was about fifteen 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.400 meters and they said play on and the goal. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:53.000 And normally that on the opposite side, if it's like 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.960 bird into fifteen, they normally say that's close enough. Whereas 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.320 Chris came out and said that Chris Scott, I don't 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.160 we're not buddies. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.160 Chris all mate, oh mate, Scott. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.760 He came out and said that it hadn't been communicated 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.720 to the clubs, which is always the interesting thing. And 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.440 we have talked about this throughout the course of the year, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:23.000 where interpretations will be changed, there will be hotter rules 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.400 than others on any certain night. It's just important to 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.200 tell the players where I think now it's at the 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.400 point where if there's going to be a difference in interpretation, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.440 or there's going to be we always call it like 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.880 the hot rule for the night or whatever. We need 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.120 to be telling everyone. It can't be like we'll figure 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.080 it out on the Friday night game. Watch the Friday 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.240 night game. Figure it out. AFL should be releasing a 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.080 statement heading into the weekend to everyone, so fans know 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.920 it's coming and they can react accordingly. They're not thinking 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.200 they're getting screwed over or the umpires are against them. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.079 If we're looking at it from we're trying to protect 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.200 the umpires here, so you can save them a hell 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.280 of a lot of abuse. If you're saying the AFL's 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.080 come out and we're telling the umpires to adjudicate it 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.760 this way this weekend so everyone knows. Is that the 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.320 way that we're going to have to start handling this. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.280 I think it's probably the best way. It just kind 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.120 of allows for that clarity between the fans, the clubs, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.920 and you know, umpires and just being able to get 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.200 everyone on the same page, because if you do, you know, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.920 send the memo out to the club and then the 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.800 colts go to update their players and it's this whole 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.520 thing where you know, if it was a public statement 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.360 like not only obviously is it going to have the 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.840 same effect as if it's released within the club, because 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.480 you'll see it on social media wherever it may not be. Also, 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.120 I think it's just good for the fans to be 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.480 aware of it too, so then whenever you get to 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.560 the football you know this Let's say it's fifteen minute 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.800 kick and they call it under fifteen meters. The fans 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.200 understand why it's happening, not going that's odd, that's not 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.240 fifteen meters, that's fifteen meters. But whatever it is, they're 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.440 not beraiding the people on the ground because they're in 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.160 this the loop just as much as the players, the 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.160 umpires and everyone else it's involved in the industry. So 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.480 you would think you just make a public statement, But 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.320 I understand whenever you make a public statement, then that 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.040 causes five six days of people reacting to it and 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.120 then the media does a big thing. So like it 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.120 can be somewhat negative. I guess from that standpoint of 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.360 people coming at you for changing the rules, But what 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.400 would you rather be proactive or reactive to after it happens. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.120 Yeah, we all know communication is key in every facet 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.280 of life. But I would have thought that they would 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.400 like the AFL like to be the talking point in 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.520 all things sport. I would think that they would like 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.600 to be the talking point on the way into games, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.920 and save the umpires, being the talking point on the 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.319 way out of games. But that's just me and who 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.599 am I. We'll talk about these three teams because I 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.120 want to get your opinion on this. We're going to 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.960 be on Wooden Spoon watch because we've got a number 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.000 one draft pick in the way that the system's all 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.920 set up. And we saw last year North Melbourne costs 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.439 themselves Harley reed, which in hindsight may have cost them 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.000 dearly because he turns out he's a pretty good So 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.000 we look ahead to this year and we've still got North, 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.200 the Eagles, and the Tigers that are all down the 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.120 bottom of the ladder fighting for this number one pick. Now, 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.920 they've all had patches throughout the year where they've actually 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.440 been quite competitive. They've had a little run and can 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.480 cost themselves a number one pick. Are we still going 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.080 to do this again? Is North going to make the 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.080 same mistakes they've been very competitive? Or like, what do 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.560 we want? Do we still think that wins on the 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.400 board are better than draft picks in the pocket? And 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.960 out of those three teams, who do we think needs 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.800 the pick the most? Because I'm thinking it's not North anymore? 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.680 Now, don't I don't think North needs anymore. I think 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.800 more than anything, they just need experience in their players. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.320 They've had so many people that are young and youth 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.520 will come through there and get drafted, and they're playing 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.160 quite a young squad that now. More than anything, like 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.240 you just want them to gain confidence through wins to 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.040 say like, no, no, we can have a season where 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.080 we kind of you know, make a push for finals. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.400 And you know, they've they've had it, They've pushed teams. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:00.800 I think in the first half of the season like 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.800 they were you know, like they didn't have a single game. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.240 I feel like that they were blown out in so 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.760 North was really hanging in there. The Eagles have done 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.640 the same thing for a fair chunk of it. Now 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.960 the Eagles are kind of in between i'd say, like 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.720 whether or not they need new people or not, Like 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.760 I think they you know, obviously they've got a few 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.720 people who just signed now, but Harley Reed's always going 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.160 to be that person that they look to try to 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.600 put as many games into and you know, he is the. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:22.560 Future of the club. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.600 I feel like the Tigers obviously a bit of rebuilding. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.040 They're going to probably want a number one draft pick 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.720 come through there for a bit of something positive and yeah, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.640 you know, something to look forward to whenever it comes 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:39.040 to their club. So I almost go North, No, Eagles 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:39.800 a little bit. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:40.440 Tigers. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.800 Yes, yeah, I get a lot. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.800 It's not a compensation pick, so that's something very different. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.160 And I'm glad now looking at North that there's like 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.920 you don't give these compensation picks out lightly. Yeah, there's 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.800 been teams that are well down the bottom of the 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.520 ladder and dwell down there for a long time, like North, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.760 and you might want to consider giving them a pick, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.400 But I think you look at their list, you look 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:02.960 at the coach that they've got in there. They got 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.880 all the right things in there. You don't need to 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.280 be screwing with other people's draft position just to look 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.960 after them. I think they're in a pretty good spot. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.320 And then the other two have had success, so they 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.000 had the success and have fallen down. So I'm happy 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.080 for no priority picks for them, and they need to 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.600 spend some time down the bottom, but I still think 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.200 Eagles probably need it. But they do have a pretty 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.760 good spine. Like they got Barass, they got Waterman, they 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.360 got Oscar Allen, they got Tim Kelly who's still got 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.120 years left, and then they got Harley Reid, so they 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.280 got a pretty good spine set up as well. So yeah, 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.600 I think, yeah, I think the Tigs are probably in 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.080 a bit of world to hurt at the moment, and 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.520 they'll probably like they'll lose some of their forward structure. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.400 So anyway, we'll wait and see. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.400 For new fresh faces to come through there, right. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.200 Wait and see. You want some excitement, we look, we 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.360 talk about excitement because this blow is one of the 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.240 most exciting blokes in the league. We talk about Horny Frank. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:58.640 Horn francis our boy. Now there's he's must have been 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.880 spending a bit too much time with Zach Butters Fickers 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.280 over the week. Last week we were talking about Zach 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.760 Butter's going for the record. It's like he's trying to 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.320 lose money, just punching blokes and scragging him around. You 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.480 can get under his skin. Well, it turns out you 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.840 can kind of get under Horny Frank's skin too, because 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.000 he was rough and blokes up and just he's just 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.800 rolling him out of the way. Now, yeah, I don't 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.760 know what Kenny Hinckley is doing down there. If they 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.040 got they got too much sugar. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.480 Maybe it's a sugar cut down of the lowly. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:39.680 Will cut out the celery and peanut butter instead of snakes, giants, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:44.879 killer pythons, and we need less sugar down there. Gatorade, 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.960 no sugar, powerade. We're on the powerades? Are can we 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.080 say that I can say what I prefer. You can't 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.960 say what you prefer, honestly, and I'm a big Gatorade guy. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.480 I don't know about power too sweet. Anyway, we we 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.800 got to get on the prime can we when's the falgus? 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.760 Many people to try to get a sponsorship. Players scull 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.280 a bottle of coke before they head out there. Anyway, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.600 we just need some. We're just we're putting it on 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.760 the radar. Horny Frank. We need to settle down, mate, 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.080 You Zach Butters will put you in an anger management course. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.560 I don't know if there's a few other Charlie looks 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.239 like he's if he starts to get as angry as 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:31.000 the other two. Run one scary bloke. We move on 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.600 to a good Is it a good news story? 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.359 It is, we'll talk about why it might not be 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:38.160 at the same time. 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.800 It's quite remarkable. So for anyone that watched the Richmond game, 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.240 Steely Green, which is an amazing name for. 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.000 Starters still side bottom, but is. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.120 Could we get away with calling our kids steely steely 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:58.960 Cock's steal steely so steely cock, no way, steely green 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.080 out there pick three goals in his third game of footy, 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.440 which I thought was amazing. I didn't know much background 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.080 until I heard Luke Darcy talk about it on commentary, 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.400 said that he was a former competitive sailor. Now that's 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.000 a pretty unique pathway into the ave. But he was 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:19.160 a former competitive sailor who also got struck by lightning 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.800 out on the water, insane and survived. Clearly, he survived. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.840 You kicked three goals in his third game, but fell 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.280 into the water. It was a whole thing, pretty wild, Like, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.840 that's that's the That's the craziest pathway into the AFL 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:33.520 that I've ever heard. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.199
