Speaker 1: Hey, legends, welcome back to the Mason cock Show. Plenty
Speaker 1: happening this week. We've got retro round. We're gonna rate
Speaker 1: some jerseys whether they're good, bad, or who really cares?
Speaker 1: And then we've got the big game of the week,
Speaker 1: Eston versus West Coast Yes you heard that, correct Esden
Speaker 1: versus West Coast and a few injuries for the Magpies
Speaker 1: out there. So there's gonna be a bit in this one.
Speaker 1: So settle in. Let's get into it. Okay, let's get
Speaker 1: into it without further ado. Welcome, Bright, get a Mason.
Speaker 2: I just want to get into this VFL because you
Speaker 2: got a little I don't know if you've noticed, but
Speaker 2: your eyes got a little shina going on there.
Speaker 1: There's four stitches in there. You're gonna just open it
Speaker 1: right up.
Speaker 3: Chicks love the stitches, Mason.
Speaker 1: You know, I've actually got two block costcos right on,
Speaker 1: I've got the duel. I had to match up the
Speaker 1: other one this week, so yeah, I've got the four stitches.
Speaker 1: So a bit of a different look this week.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 2: I reckon, it looks good on you. You've got to
Speaker 2: dim that thing back into shape, Mace. Now what's your
Speaker 2: claim this week because I saw you at the World Cup.
Speaker 1: Yes, the World Cup. So my girls, the USA women's
Speaker 1: national team was playing Sweeten this weekend, right, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, man, seven o'clock game hyped up. You know,
Speaker 1: USA is one of the touted winners, so surely we
Speaker 1: couldn't lose this thing, right, zero zero the whole way through,
Speaker 1: and I'm going, oh, I'm a bit stressed here, going
Speaker 1: to overtime, then double overtime, and then piloty shootout and
Speaker 1: I was like, there's one thing you can beat someone at.
Speaker 1: Its piloty Shootout's essentially crapshoot. And I'm in a full gear,
Speaker 1: I'm in a cowboy hat, mullet, you know, pit vipers.
Speaker 1: The USA jumper, like, I don't think you would have
Speaker 1: recognized me bar the tallness and essentially full confidence rolling
Speaker 1: into this joint and left there with my head held
Speaker 1: very low. It was not good. We ended up losing
Speaker 1: in penloties, almost like it was a fingernail difference of
Speaker 1: fingernail down.
Speaker 3: It was like a millionaires.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was ridiculous, and even live, everyone was so
Speaker 1: confused and it was just chaos. And I was sitting
Speaker 1: next to the crazy Swedes or like the cheer group
Speaker 1: at behind the goal, and it was just it was
Speaker 1: such a good vid.
Speaker 3: I feel like they're so polite though.
Speaker 1: They were so nice. One guy came up to me goes, gosh,
Speaker 1: you know they don't say there's there's winners and losers
Speaker 1: in sport, but the real winner today you know it's soccer.
Speaker 3: Shut up.
Speaker 1: Bro said, this is a million pilody shoot out. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, can you fuck off? You'd say that.
Speaker 3: If you won, you like lost, you like fuck sucker.
Speaker 1: Winter soccer today, I was like, can you just get
Speaker 1: out of my head? Oh man? I think it was
Speaker 1: wearing one of the Viking helmets too. It's just brought
Speaker 1: it all up together. Buff guy asked this question because
Speaker 1: I was wearing this ridiculous outfit. Let's say you're a
Speaker 1: supporter of whatever sport it is, and you go watch
Speaker 1: your team play. If your team loses after that, like
Speaker 1: and you're wearing in a ridiculous outfit, do you just
Speaker 1: rock that out knowing you're just gonna get trolled out
Speaker 1: the door, or do you just kind of take it off,
Speaker 1: you know, tucking in, maybe take the jumper off, just
Speaker 1: act like a normal human walking out and was like, no,
Speaker 1: hold on, I think I was told dick walking in
Speaker 1: this jot.
Speaker 3: Strutting in number one seed.
Speaker 2: Here we go. Yeah, I think you got to. You
Speaker 2: just got to get with another group of losers. If
Speaker 2: you can just be all losers together, losers in numbers,
Speaker 2: pit vipers, they look good. I reckon. Another little subclanger
Speaker 2: was the broadcast. It's like, show some replays of this thing,
Speaker 2: like one of the biggest penalty moments ever, and they
Speaker 2: don't show the var in the stadium, and then.
Speaker 1: Everyone was lost. Everyone stems like what happened?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like commentators are looking at the referee and
Speaker 3: she just starts waving her arms. It's like, does that
Speaker 3: mean no gold? Does that mean games over? Does that
Speaker 3: mean like goals?
Speaker 1: What happened actually is she got hit in the head
Speaker 1: with a football. We don't know. I didn't see the
Speaker 1: Kacush protocol for the umpires. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: are doctors over their FIFA, but sort that out.
Speaker 2: She got hit flushed, and I was like because I
Speaker 2: didn't see her get hit, and she just kept rubbing
Speaker 2: her get a tissue, And then they showed the replayers
Speaker 2: she almost got dnted in.
Speaker 3: But a few times in the game, but they just
Speaker 3: trust the ship out of that technology because that was
Speaker 3: it was a millimeter in it that off.
Speaker 1: Sides and everything else. It's all var stuff.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: It's I feel bad able to figure out the whole
Speaker 1: thing with the post by now, but soccer's cut it's
Speaker 1: sort of same.
Speaker 2: Well, at least they got var because yeah, it would
Speaker 2: have just been BT going boy oh.
Speaker 3: Boy, woo boy oh boy. I'm going to go to
Speaker 3: the Jake Paul Nate Diaz fight, and I feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, Jake Paul was really lifting his weight and
Speaker 3: kind of carrying the promotion for these two guys because
Speaker 3: with more character.
Speaker 2: I love Nate Diaz. I'm a big UFC fan, more
Speaker 2: MMA than boxing. But you know, I feel like Jake
Speaker 2: Paul is doing a lot for all of these sports
Speaker 2: and the attention that he brings to it. But he
Speaker 2: rolls into the fight sitting on a tank. You know
Speaker 2: how much effort has probably got to be to organize
Speaker 2: a tank to like, how do you get that in
Speaker 2: it's crowd control. It's imagine the O H and s
Speaker 2: on getting the tank rolling down the street, and then
Speaker 2: you've got to sit on top of it and people
Speaker 2: will be freaking out thinking they're going to World War three.
Speaker 2: So he comes in on the tank. Then they cut
Speaker 2: to Nate Diaz, So what's he organized? He's probably organized.
Speaker 2: He walks in just wearing a hoodie on his phone,
Speaker 2: just word just couldn't give a ship something shit about
Speaker 2: the whole thing. He literally he's like, I'll fight anyone.
Speaker 2: Just give me money and I'll just rock up and
Speaker 2: just punch heads. And it's just like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: even think he's that good anymore, Sorry to all the
Speaker 2: Nate Diaz fans out there, but his head can still
Speaker 2: take a good punch. Like he just was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's going the distance no matter what. He Yeah, and
Speaker 2: he just got his head punched in NonStop. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he just keeps taking the checks. And now he wants
Speaker 2: to go back to the UFC and Jake Paul wants
Speaker 2: to face him in m M A, which that's a
Speaker 2: different ball I think he's gone there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's a completely different ball game.
Speaker 2: But one thing, Jake Paul used to be a wrestler
Speaker 2: in college, like a good wrestler in college, So it's
Speaker 2: like it's not just like get the takedown and win.
Speaker 2: So if if he can kind of stay off his
Speaker 2: back because I reckon ate thes just submits him. But
Speaker 2: you know, that'll be an interesting one. But it'll be
Speaker 2: interesting to see if they can.
Speaker 3: Get this money.
Speaker 2: Jake Paul's taking it to the UFC. He's got a
Speaker 2: little feud with Dana White going on, and he's a
Speaker 2: rep for the PFL, which is like they love dish
Speaker 2: now money. They have like a fight night where they
Speaker 2: give all the champions a million.
Speaker 3: Dollars a pulp. Wow, footy, it looks like you've been
Speaker 3: playing mm does.
Speaker 1: Look worse than they do. All right, we'll get into
Speaker 1: the games this week. First one off the rank Bulldogs
Speaker 1: versus Richmond Bulldogs have a big win.
Speaker 3: W cheez. You thought you know. Both teams a lot
Speaker 3: on the line. Bulldogs a bit of flaky up and down.
Speaker 2: Lost the one to GWS last week in bal Araut
Speaker 2: and needed a win and they just came out and
Speaker 2: convincing fashion and it was over pretty quick.
Speaker 3: Like it was I think it was like the first quarter.
Speaker 3: It was like fifty one to seven.
Speaker 1: He kicked nine to two in the first quarter. Find
Speaker 1: goals to the Richard's here, so it's a hot start,
Speaker 1: you could say.
Speaker 3: Which is really deflating Jamara, he.
Speaker 1: Kicked it back. He kicked four in the first and
Speaker 1: he gets five.
Speaker 2: Overall, every time you kick five you get a celebration,
Speaker 2: a little sound effect that we make, Jamara hugil Haagen.
Speaker 2: There's not many things that you can play around with that.
Speaker 1: No, no, I all have to think about well, think
Speaker 1: about it, but put in the comments, please do. That
Speaker 1: was something I want to take out of this because
Speaker 1: there's a man named Caleb Daniel who was on the
Speaker 1: other end of the spectrum as far as height in
Speaker 1: the AFL right, and there was a moment in this
Speaker 1: game early on I will say where he had gone
Speaker 1: for the ball got kicked into him. Obviously a huge
Speaker 1: target inside fifty. And ironically, the person he's playing on
Speaker 1: is called Short. It's not a big bloke anither Daniel.
Speaker 1: The short man that Daniel is takes a contested mark
Speaker 1: on Short and ends up kicking the goal. I just
Speaker 1: want to give a massive shout out because Caleb Daniel
Speaker 1: taking contested mark or two things. I don't think one
Speaker 1: and one together. I mean it's him in the contested
Speaker 1: possession game, you know, in and under and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: but taking contested clocks inside forward fifty calp Daniel who
Speaker 1: we can do it all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and didn't he lend that like the bump on
Speaker 2: Sean Darcy earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: He did knock him down.
Speaker 3: He plays bigger than he is, bigger than.
Speaker 1: He'll leverage a leverage you know at the waist.
Speaker 2: He's got the helmet and gives him the confidence to
Speaker 2: go out there and just smash it around. Now, Bond,
Speaker 2: we're talking about a freak, and we're talking about the
Speaker 2: brown Low metal race heating up there because jeez, the
Speaker 2: body is coming home strong and obviously Nick's gonna miss
Speaker 2: a little bit of footing. But then but the Bond
Speaker 2: had I think it was thirty one kick three. It's like, mate,
Speaker 2: tag went forward kick three?
Speaker 3: How do you do it? Like, how do you is it?
Speaker 3: You just look at some of these guys that rip
Speaker 3: it up.
Speaker 2: We'll get to Toby's game for GWS later on too.
Speaker 2: There's just like some blokes.
Speaker 1: You can try to tag him and they're still going
Speaker 1: to get a decent game. That's like if you tag him,
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you lose a man. But they still
Speaker 1: have a good game rather than a great game maybe,
Speaker 1: so you still lose a person. But like Bond, he's
Speaker 1: going to be unsoftable. You can put him in the
Speaker 1: back line shit, I mean defender.
Speaker 2: He'll probably go down as one of the best, if
Speaker 2: not the best Bulldogs player of all time. Crazy the
Speaker 2: amount of like, best and fairest that he's got, he
Speaker 2: just racks him up there at the Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: It's one of the nicest Scars' med too. He is.
Speaker 1: He's seriously such a classic human Now.
Speaker 2: I think another little talking point is Jack Reell. Now,
Speaker 2: people love retiring these blokes once they hit thirty. He's
Speaker 2: a grim reapist sneaking up on them. And except for
Speaker 2: you, you got two year contract. Now, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's really fair. He seems to be still out there competing,
Speaker 2: kicking goals. And when you get to that stage in
Speaker 2: your career, you're like, Okay, they've got Tom Lynch and
Speaker 2: he'll be the big number one key guy and I'll
Speaker 2: just roam around cherry picking little little bags of goals.
Speaker 2: Poor bloke just has to do it one out all year.
Speaker 2: Because Tom Lynch goes down, I reckon give him another
Speaker 2: year's leadership.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's leadership.
Speaker 2: Surely that's invaluable to a team that's, you know, trying
Speaker 2: to rise up for sure.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think it's back off him.
Speaker 1: Maybe what you do is you have him as a
Speaker 1: coach and then mid season draft him if you need him.
Speaker 3: That's a good call.
Speaker 1: There you go. So then he can train with the
Speaker 1: boys all year, still be a coach to him and
Speaker 1: then if you know, al a few of the boys
Speaker 1: get injured early on, whoever it is, and go Jack Wenida,
Speaker 1: that's a very good season draft here we are.
Speaker 3: Team's got to start doing stuff.
Speaker 1: Just say, well, there's other people that were not playing,
Speaker 1: and we got Dusty obviously catch from soreness, and then
Speaker 1: Dylan Grimes also ruled out. So they did have quite
Speaker 1: a few guys that were out that week or this week.
Speaker 1: But they also played the two tolls Soldo and Nank,
Speaker 1: which have had usually a really good track record, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately last this week they did dominate headouts, but they
Speaker 1: couldn't convert.
Speaker 3: Now you talk about someone that wasn't playing mass there
Speaker 3: was an incident.
Speaker 1: During the game, Oh, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Well, Pikett was touched by a fan in the crowd
Speaker 2: kind of tapped on the back.
Speaker 3: He took a bit of issue to it, which is
Speaker 3: fair enough.
Speaker 2: This happens, but it normally happens for more positive stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, that's my player and you tap them
Speaker 2: on the back, go get them, you know, the positive stuff.
Speaker 3: How did you see kind of these incident?
Speaker 1: The fans can't touch players, right, Like, that's straight line.
Speaker 1: Can't do that, no matter if you're the opposition or
Speaker 1: you're you know, the fan of the current team that
Speaker 1: you're talking to, whatever it is, there is a boundary
Speaker 1: that needs to be placed in the ifl I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll sanction this guy somehow. But piket, Yeah, it gets
Speaker 1: slapped on the shoulder a few times from the Bulldogs
Speaker 1: player and he turns right and actually slaps the guy's
Speaker 1: drink out of his hand spills it. So but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we've talked about on this podcast. Right, if
Speaker 1: someone storms the field, you cross that white line home black,
Speaker 1: you couldn't get nailed. You're gonna get taken out, Which
Speaker 1: is weird because actually this is so back to this
Speaker 1: US that game. I was looking at the edge of
Speaker 1: the boundary and it said maximum penalty of eight thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for running on the field, and I thought eight
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is, Look, it's a lot of money, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, But like I feel like if you
Speaker 1: made a viral video, you could definitely make eight thousand
Speaker 1: dollars back pretty easily. You know. I was kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean, like no jail time. No, No, it's just
Speaker 1: like eight grand.
Speaker 2: Eight thousand dollars hardly pays for the beer that he
Speaker 2: knocked out of.
Speaker 3: The blood hand.
Speaker 1: There was one of those things that you can't do it,
Speaker 1: like as a fan. I'm sure he probably maybe had
Speaker 1: one too many beers whatever it is, And I don't know,
Speaker 1: for some reason, thought like putting a hand over and
Speaker 1: tapping him on the shoulder was appropriate. I don't know,
Speaker 1: And I hope that the people around him realize that
Speaker 1: and pull them back into place. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: the thing is someone grabs someone hits like he's tapping
Speaker 1: the shoulder, turns into someone hitting someone, turns into what
Speaker 1: it is. You know. It's it's a weird thing where
Speaker 1: I look at now, like having to play VF over
Speaker 1: the weekend and people coming in at quarter time and
Speaker 1: halftime on the field and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I remember my first game, I thought that was
Speaker 1: really weird. I was like, there needs to be some
Speaker 1: kind of boundary, like people just can't come up and
Speaker 1: just you know, someone can come up with the other
Speaker 1: fucking knife, like you know, if you're going, well whatever
Speaker 1: it is. So it's become more and more professional. I
Speaker 1: think at this point, you know, like sport and fan interaction,
Speaker 1: they're trying to really make that as close as possible.
Speaker 1: Like you look at you know, court side seats at
Speaker 1: basketball games and stuff like that, they're right there and
Speaker 1: in the IFL just needs to make sure that there's
Speaker 1: definitely a line in the sand whenever it comes to
Speaker 1: that interaction.
Speaker 2: It's just sad because you don't want to take away
Speaker 2: the positive interactions because of one negative interaction, you know,
Speaker 2: like and what you say with the VFL is very true,
Speaker 2: Like I always think that, and you're kind of just
Speaker 2: trusting people not to and it only takes one bad
Speaker 2: apple or one bad incident for it to all change.
Speaker 2: So you know, I'd hate to see something change, especially
Speaker 2: the positive parts of it, because.
Speaker 3: One negative happened.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's going to have to be
Speaker 2: annoyingly this gray area who.
Speaker 1: The weekend, it was like every quarter time like I
Speaker 1: was getting asked to like sign footballs and take photos,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm in the middle of the game.
Speaker 1: How to make that more clear? By the situation we're
Speaker 1: both in.
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you're going back to your position
Speaker 2: and stuff, and it's like, oh, here, hold my kid, I.
Speaker 1: Take a photo. What we'll get into the next round.
Speaker 1: We've got Essen versus West Coast. This is a thriller.
Speaker 1: I was watching this before a game and I was
Speaker 1: blown away that Essen almost got hipped by the West
Speaker 1: Coast deals but in I think what happened. The Eagles
Speaker 1: are going, whohoa, no one drafting health breaks. That's a joke.
Speaker 3: He's doing that for comedic purpose.
Speaker 1: Now they're actually really good. Eagles were really good on
Speaker 1: the day and they almost had it. They almost got
Speaker 1: it at the very end and Langford had a little
Speaker 1: over the top goal and then ask Growland question marks
Speaker 1: around but he was blocked. But as we know, I'm
Speaker 1: pires swallow whistle whenever comes to the last minute, so
Speaker 1: nothing was called.
Speaker 2: And McGovern back bit of leadership, down, back steady of
Speaker 2: the ship. Yeah, it's a bit of heartbreaking for West Coast.
Speaker 2: I think Simmo has been you know, a bit emotional
Speaker 2: up in the box of late, so it's good to
Speaker 2: see that. You know, people that question him and like
Speaker 2: he's amount of care for this team, it's like you
Speaker 2: see things like that and it's just like, you know,
Speaker 2: get off him. He's trying a rough year. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: done the best of all he's had. Yeah, exactly. So
Speaker 2: it's a real hard one to judge Essendon. Oh my
Speaker 2: goodness getting out of jail, especially a home game. Like
Speaker 2: you know, any Western based team on their day can
Speaker 2: beat anyone over in Perth, but to have it here.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think one out of this that needs
Speaker 2: a little shining light is that Carl Langford. The Ford.
Speaker 3: The Ford.
Speaker 1: It's a bagger.
Speaker 2: He's got to be one of, if not the most
Speaker 2: underrated forward in the competition. He had forty goals going
Speaker 2: into this game, kicked another bag of five forty five
Speaker 2: for the year so far, and no one talks about
Speaker 2: it like it's so harsh. We got you bro around
Speaker 2: around him, you know, make a bit of noise for him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was. It was a crazy good game.
Speaker 2: I think the stat was like West Coast kicks seven
Speaker 2: of the last nine or something crazy. So it's like
Speaker 2: they they came home super strong and it was just
Speaker 2: unlucky that they got pipped in the end.
Speaker 3: There was a moment and being the resident ruckman of
Speaker 3: this podcast, Yes, I mean I used to be pretty
Speaker 3: good back in one of the or something like, I
Speaker 3: played one season for the Tatura Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: Wow, trure, shout out.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll be listening.
Speaker 2: Whoever was my teammates. I didn't learn any of their names.
Speaker 2: I was only there for a minute. Yeah, there was
Speaker 2: a late in the game there was a rock contest.
Speaker 2: It was just a ball up in the middle of
Speaker 2: the ground and it was the rucks were kind of
Speaker 2: standing off a bit off the contest and the umpire
Speaker 2: kind of lobbed the ball instead of directly up like
Speaker 2: you meant to towards them, and they kind of came
Speaker 2: in a little bit and then it went over their
Speaker 2: head about two meters, went to Essen and midfielder handballed
Speaker 2: it through the contest, bombed it long kicked the goal
Speaker 2: as a result pretty castly in the end.
Speaker 1: Now, you asking me for rulings of the AFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, would you.
Speaker 2: I get that he's trying to lob it more towards them,
Speaker 2: but they're probably thinking I'm going to run into the contest.
Speaker 1: So so the whole thing is like, so umpire is
Speaker 1: remember as a ruckman, when you seen an umpire, right,
Speaker 1: you can be the guy ten meters of because someone
Speaker 1: wants to try to jump into you. Usually you don't
Speaker 1: lie him before you run and jump at it right,
Speaker 1: So you kind of like try to half the distance
Speaker 1: or something, and you expect the umpire to throat above
Speaker 1: his head straight up. Umpire. Ball up, not a ball forward,
Speaker 1: not a ball side, not a ball behind, ball up.
Speaker 1: So you expecting to throw it up. But for some
Speaker 1: reason as of recently, they've kind of thought it better
Speaker 1: to throw it towards where the like the ruckmen are standing.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times you kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: manipulate positioning is to get better position or front position
Speaker 1: or back position, depending on where the umpire standing. But
Speaker 1: if he throws it to a direction, then that doesn't
Speaker 1: fucking matter. Yeah, it's literally just ball wherever it goes.
Speaker 1: So it's this interesting thing that happened over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was a costly kind of situation. I guess in
Speaker 1: the game that didn't go well for one of the teams.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just it's an interesting one because I
Speaker 1: feel like every once in a while you do kind
Speaker 1: of see it and you want to it is a
Speaker 1: mistaken Obviously, not every catapult you know, throw in is
Speaker 1: the same distance. Imperfect, but fine. Yeah, it's not a
Speaker 1: fine r and every bounce doesn't go straight up, as
Speaker 1: we all know. But I feel like it's something that
Speaker 1: is very easy to do to throw it straight up, yeah,
Speaker 1: to throw it yeah, I mean like that's if all
Speaker 1: the things the umpire has to do, I feel like
Speaker 1: that's the you know, that's the simplest. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's been told by them to start doing
Speaker 1: that by the IFL and what's happened, but singing over
Speaker 1: the weekend what was a bit livid.
Speaker 3: Well, now it's a talking point and now that was
Speaker 3: shopping up.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, M sure the IFLS will go well. Esston's
Speaker 1: got a run home with g WS North and Collingwood say,
Speaker 1: GWS Away is going to be very hard one for
Speaker 1: them because GWS obviously still in the hunt for the eights,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a bit of a rough trot,
Speaker 1: and they've got us at the very end of the year,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be a thriller.
Speaker 3: It's it's gonna be set out surely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Eagles have now only won for the last
Speaker 1: forty five games in Melbourne. A well, fun fact for you.
Speaker 3: That's rough. That's you guys are one of them.
Speaker 1: We were one of them as you mentioned it, Marvel. Yes,
Speaker 1: thanks for reminding us. Now Adelaide versus the Suns over
Speaker 1: in Adelaide. The Suns needed this one to still make
Speaker 1: it into the top eight, and unfortunately the Sun has
Speaker 1: sat braidon. My boys are out. They're not gonna make it.
Speaker 1: I needed to fill in with someone else. I had
Speaker 1: full faith in them all year long. I was hyped
Speaker 1: up on the Sun train. I was too chewing all
Speaker 1: the way down to the station. Well, we passed the station.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we didn't stop at the final eight.
Speaker 2: You and Jewey Joe are gonna have to catch up
Speaker 2: for a beer, just mourn your loss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, maybe learn how to play cricket while we're
Speaker 1: out of who.
Speaker 2: Knows now it was you know, it was one of
Speaker 2: those ones where it was like they tried, they really tried.
Speaker 2: They were sticking in there. Luckily for them, Text only
Speaker 2: kicked two because that always.
Speaker 1: Helped Charlie also, which we will get into here, so.
Speaker 2: It shakes up the Coleman race. But you know, Adelaide
Speaker 2: pretty much did what you expected and what they needed
Speaker 2: to do because they are still in the finals, and they.
Speaker 1: Came out hot. I only kicked five two to zero
Speaker 1: three in the first quarter, so it was just a
Speaker 1: bit of a catch up game for the Suns and
Speaker 1: they were I mean, at one point there were ten
Speaker 1: points away, so it wasn't like it was an absolute
Speaker 1: blowout the whole game. But I love this the O'Brien
Speaker 1: versus Wits Rockman battle for ground, love the big love
Speaker 1: the bigs. And it was a forty one to thirty
Speaker 1: nine hitouts. It was a very contested game between the
Speaker 1: two of them, and I just they're two bulky big boys.
Speaker 1: You know, you just love whenever they face each other
Speaker 1: because you know it's just going to be Rockman, just
Speaker 1: versus Rockman, and what you want to see as a
Speaker 1: big fella.
Speaker 3: Could we ever get two plumbers in the one game?
Speaker 3: Is that unheard of? I had to be pissing down
Speaker 3: Rain just a million stoppages, a million stoppages and vfl so.
Speaker 1: Text though, like you said, he kicked only two goals
Speaker 1: and Charlie will get into how many he kicked on
Speaker 1: the weekend because if Charlie kicks a bag, it's pretty
Speaker 1: much done and dusted. But we'll get to that later on.
Speaker 1: And the Sons, Yeah, unfortunately they lost, but adelaide Phil
Speaker 1: Thorpe was injured and Will Powell also injured for the Suns. Now,
Speaker 1: sorry for Phil, I always want to say Thorpe. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I want thrill. Phil Thorpe was injured.
Speaker 3: That was way better now that one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 3: Tell us about your boy James Bullace.
Speaker 1: Yes, James Boyce hey debuted this weekend. You best believe
Speaker 1: eighteen touches, seven contested, eight intercept possessions, nine marks and
Speaker 1: four tackles. You don't want to know why this guy
Speaker 1: is an absolutely gun because his dad Daryl played for
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six games won for premierships. Poor
Speaker 1: alay back to sample his mama Jinny. She was part
Speaker 1: of the Australian team and net bol as. He's got
Speaker 1: blood in him, He's got that athlete blood in him.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a gun's one hundred ninety six two
Speaker 1: centimeters rolling around. I don't know how Adelaide missed out
Speaker 1: on this fellow. Wait, no, hold on. I think he
Speaker 1: was part of a little program where they can somehow
Speaker 1: pull in people from I like that, the area, wherever
Speaker 1: it is. And then this kind of made me thought, though, right,
Speaker 1: if your parents are athletes, are you just naturally born
Speaker 1: to be an athlete? Because I looked at the soccer
Speaker 1: on the weekend. I'm going back to this. Dennis Rodman's
Speaker 1: daughter was playing for the US and women's team, and
Speaker 1: I just thought, my min, I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe it's just you're just a freak athlete. You've got
Speaker 1: it in your genetics, you got the blood. Just choose
Speaker 1: a sport and run with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you'd have like the the ability.
Speaker 2: It's just whether you've got the application.
Speaker 3: Whether you want to.
Speaker 1: They actually want to do it.
Speaker 3: Have you seen him? Jeez bucks, his kids would turn
Speaker 3: it like they're genetic free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they play for it.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, it's like, whether they want to.
Speaker 2: All these poor kids getting Crowbart into footy. Your father son, one.
Speaker 1: Of them's doing racing actually, but James, shout out to you, James,
Speaker 1: well done on the debut. We love a debutante, absolutely
Speaker 1: love him. I did mention this Will Powell injured and
Speaker 1: stretched off after coming down. It's like that's a big
Speaker 1: out for the science and one of them that I
Speaker 1: think felt like maybe that was the thing that goes
Speaker 1: this year has done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, prayers up to him.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's one of those ones that you get it
Speaker 2: sorted in the off season, rest, recover and come back.
Speaker 1: Fresh and if you've been tanged up and bowling my
Speaker 1: brother Now Geelong versus Port.
Speaker 3: This is a crack. Actually, you could have almost given
Speaker 3: this game in the round a bit more on it.
Speaker 1: There's a bit on this one because Port obviously now
Speaker 1: top four, they've lost three in a row. They've lost
Speaker 1: three in a round and there's a bit of hoestly
Speaker 1: panic stations. But like people are kind of after winning
Speaker 1: thirteen straight and then losing four and all people, what's changing,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 2: It's a lot on both of these days because jeez,
Speaker 2: they were I feel bad for Port because they were
Speaker 2: right in and up to their eyeballs. Ollie Wyan said
Speaker 2: after the game, No excuses. We just got to be better.
Speaker 2: It's like cheapers like Geelong, and Geelong is no you know,
Speaker 2: easy game. So I thought they did very well and
Speaker 2: you know they're like lost their last four, but they've
Speaker 2: been insanely competitive. Dropped one to Collingwood and now this
Speaker 2: game like they're honorable losses. But we all know that
Speaker 2: footballers don't seem to like honorable losses. Doesn't count for much.
Speaker 2: Don't get four point, give him half a point, Come on,
Speaker 2: give him half a point.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a big star Olie Henry or cat Poss.
Speaker 1: He kicked four in the first few minutes, sorry by
Speaker 1: the first few minutes of the second quarter, so he
Speaker 1: was on fire early making the most of hots being
Speaker 1: out at the moment. So it's good to see the
Speaker 1: young fellow stepping up. And also Willy Reoli kicked four.
Speaker 1: Big fan of Willy Reoldy Jr. Kicking fore almost getting
Speaker 1: the bag on the day and kept him in the
Speaker 1: in the game for most of it. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a great contested game back and forth. But
Speaker 1: I will say one thing about Port They had six
Speaker 1: changes in this game. Obviously we know the Jones in
Speaker 1: a literal lear situation with one you wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: They had the rest ye resting their face. Miles German
Speaker 1: fan lisn both went out early with illness and then
Speaker 1: Trent McKinsey goes down with knee injury in the first
Speaker 1: ten minutes, so they were held back essentially with some
Speaker 1: of the changes in the outs. And then also as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, a little bit of a head knock problems, right,
Speaker 1: we had Todd Marshall, you know, he went out for
Speaker 1: a mark and I think, landing on the back, flipped
Speaker 1: his head at the ground and you wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: The doctors came out said Todd, come with us. We're
Speaker 1: gonna take it to a secret space underneath the gm
Speaker 1: HbA stadium. We're gonna assess you for this little thing
Speaker 1: we call concussion.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: They've learned their list and all done. Well done, although
Speaker 1: he did come out playing kick two goals after that,
Speaker 1: so who knows. We'll see if he comes up with
Speaker 1: the headache in a week. Yeah, anyway, but.
Speaker 3: Have you done the concussion protocols before?
Speaker 1: I've done the tests and stuff, and then yeah, do
Speaker 1: the pretest, but have you had to do a test
Speaker 1: in a game not recently. I think you have to
Speaker 1: do like the off a bit backwards and a few
Speaker 1: other things, and then the months of the year. But
Speaker 1: the problem is, I'm obvious to the world of the week.
Speaker 2: The boys will be struggling if it was any you know,
Speaker 2: math questions.
Speaker 1: Some injuries though Jack Henry was substituted out because of
Speaker 1: a foot injury. I think it's the opposite foot to
Speaker 1: the problem he had last time with it. So I
Speaker 1: hate injuries this time of the year be frustrating. But
Speaker 1: Jelong came home kicked four of the last five goals.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a shout out in an apology.
Speaker 1: At the same time, Brandon Radically, uh, I was, I
Speaker 1: was on your bandwagon very early.
Speaker 2: You got on early, and then I feel like you
Speaker 2: got embarrassed because because there was a bad performance. So
Speaker 2: they jumped up before quicker than anyone ever jumped off
Speaker 2: a person.
Speaker 1: They did a little bit of time of VFL. But
Speaker 1: then he was back this weekend, dominating their like I
Speaker 1: knew the big man would. And I'm back on the train.
Speaker 1: Back on the train too too.
Speaker 2: Radically, Yeah, sometimes you just gotta do a little stint
Speaker 2: back in the VFL.
Speaker 3: MAS and it all comes back.
Speaker 1: I get it, pray and I understand. I'm living it
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, shut up. Anyway, So poor have lost
Speaker 1: four in a row after thirteen straight wins and they
Speaker 1: played Gows at home next week.
Speaker 2: So is this There's a few of these that can
Speaker 2: be rounded up into the same question.
Speaker 3: Is it you.
Speaker 2: Know a week or two ago it was an anomaly,
Speaker 2: It was like this one off. They just dropped this
Speaker 2: game or whatever. Now it's four in a row. Is
Speaker 2: it a trend?
Speaker 1: Or is it I'm gonna go now. They had six
Speaker 1: changes to people they needed and they they didn't have
Speaker 1: their full team, and they still kept up with with
Speaker 1: Geelong at home. So I think that was quite an
Speaker 1: important fight. If they would have just fallen over and
Speaker 1: just rolled over, there'd be a lot more questions. But
Speaker 1: the fact their fighting with sick outs as yeah, I
Speaker 1: still go give credit to him. I think they're still
Speaker 1: one of the top teams and going to go really
Speaker 1: well this year. Now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully GWS is probably a bit better on the
Speaker 2: road at the moment, so maybe keep her on the
Speaker 2: road because GWS v Sydney Battle of the Bridge of
Speaker 2: the Unfortunately, my boys the Giants came up short against
Speaker 2: Bigger Brother.
Speaker 3: It was just a blip.
Speaker 2: This is the anomally that I'm talking about. This is
Speaker 2: the anomally that we're going to carry this. So obviously
Speaker 2: no buddy out with his calf retired pretty long out,
Speaker 2: but you know his understudies stood up in big Hatos
Speaker 2: MacLean and the Amadi Party.
Speaker 3: I can't wait. I want him to kick five because
Speaker 3: we've got to have something special for them party.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have freacking like cannons and stuff going off
Speaker 1: and confetti cannon. It's going to be great.
Speaker 2: It doesn't this help when you go in twenty three
Speaker 2: times inside fifty and you kick eleven in the first half,
Speaker 2: you know that's pretty damn efficient.
Speaker 1: It's pretty efficient.
Speaker 3: I would say, like going in and kicking a go
Speaker 3: fifty of the time.
Speaker 1: That is insane. Just be bumming in you would hum
Speaker 1: saying they were. They were smashing it in the first one,
Speaker 1: very like you said, very very efficient. But joy as
Speaker 1: you only credit to him. They came back in the
Speaker 1: second second half and unfortunately couldn't prevail. But it was
Speaker 1: a bit of an arm wrestle back and forth. And
Speaker 1: the Swans are four in a row and hosting Sons
Speaker 1: next week. But we got to talk about this. There
Speaker 1: was a couple of goals during the game. Oh freak goals.
Speaker 1: We had Arabell Golden and Isaac Heney goals and the
Speaker 1: second we were like just forty meters out check side
Speaker 1: full pace. Just absurd shit, like I don't even know.
Speaker 1: And it's just the confidence and the audacity to do
Speaker 1: this by Golden just as I love it, absolutely love it.
Speaker 3: He's had a crazy year.
Speaker 2: He's insane, and he started racking up like numbers earlier
Speaker 2: in the year and then it was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: like you know, some of these wingers, it's like you
Speaker 2: can get off the chain every now and then. But
Speaker 2: now he's just every week he's having thirty Kicking two
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's like ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So well, he had thirty two disposals this weekend kick
Speaker 1: two and he also essentially had man in the match
Speaker 1: of Brett Kirk medal.
Speaker 2: Now, I asked you a pre podcast if you ever
Speaker 2: saw Fred Kirk play.
Speaker 1: I have seen him before, but for different reasons.
Speaker 2: You saw him on the Channel seven. You thought he
Speaker 2: was a Channel seven guy.
Speaker 1: He thought he was, so he probably got sacked after
Speaker 1: the most infamous meme we've ever seen.
Speaker 2: He was my idol growing up, not the big, flashy,
Speaker 2: you know player. He was just a run with, grinding
Speaker 2: out tagger.
Speaker 1: Say, he's a pump up guy.
Speaker 3: Pump up.
Speaker 2: He's a very spiritual guy. And that's really that's the origin.
Speaker 2: That's why they're like, you're you're a captain full of
Speaker 2: like a spiritual leader. Get out there and motivate all
Speaker 2: of Australia with the greatest pump up speech of all time.
Speaker 2: But we'll probably script it for you so it looks
Speaker 2: nice and weird. Let's jump into this one one of
Speaker 2: our favorite teams, North Melbourne versus Regular Melbourne, No Central Melbourne,
Speaker 2: and it was a bit of a you know, I
Speaker 2: can't imagine the Melbourne supporters, they probab we would have
Speaker 2: dropped their crackers and queen's pace because North came out
Speaker 2: the gates strong, had him up thirty five to nine,
Speaker 2: caught a time break. What the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: North was like, Hey, you know, we've been talking about
Speaker 1: this tazzy thing ever since then. We've been putting up
Speaker 1: battles eight. We're home, We're the home game. We're down
Speaker 1: in the whole Bart gets cold as shit.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's where you just drag him down.
Speaker 1: And also Cloco four hundredth game as coach, so they've
Speaker 1: got him back of the helm. So it was his
Speaker 1: first game back to the first quarter, a bit hiked up,
Speaker 1: big big coaches back, we're on, here, we are on.
Speaker 1: And who was it out of all these people Breton,
Speaker 1: who would you think would kick three goals against Melbourne?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Well, Eddie Ford of course, which we all like Eddie
Speaker 2: Ford because he was the one talking smack to James
Speaker 2: Cicily earlier in the year and everyone, you know, do
Speaker 2: something before you talk something.
Speaker 3: Shut up.
Speaker 2: He's bringing some excitement to the game and I'm sure
Speaker 2: that his teammates absolutely love it. But I don't think
Speaker 2: that was the man that you've been talking about.
Speaker 3: Mace. Who's who kicked three goals?
Speaker 1: Who kicked three goals? Not Ford kick three goals?
Speaker 3: And you're talking about picket my boy, picket off.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just like a garret. That's a rhetorical question.
Speaker 1: He gave you the picket, My bad, My bad, my bad.
Speaker 1: I I was looking at the statue wrong. Now, picket
Speaker 1: my boy, he's kicking from all over. He's making Zebe
Speaker 1: look ridiculous, just absolutely branket ankles from the corner and
Speaker 1: then kicking snaps. I mean, this man's atoppable. Is he
Speaker 1: the best full forward sorry small forward in the league
Speaker 1: of course, yes, rhetorical question again, the picket is it.
Speaker 1: There's no one else, there's picket, and then there's nothing.
Speaker 2: There's Collingwood small forwards, but they're just out the side
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: They're very no, they're yeah, sorry Collingwood small forwards also.
Speaker 1: But I love everyone knows this. I love Picket to
Speaker 1: the hills and back. He is the man, the myth
Speaker 1: and a legend, and he was absolutely dominated by the
Speaker 1: way nd kick three and kicked if he snaps, kicked
Speaker 1: one on the boundary from like forty just you know,
Speaker 1: just any any chance he gets at goals, you're just going,
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna go through. I don't care what angle,
Speaker 1: I don't care how he's kicking it. The thanks probably
Speaker 1: going through the goals.
Speaker 2: And Jack's Abel obviously retiring at the end of the year.
Speaker 2: And it's moments like that where.
Speaker 3: You're like, well might call that early not missing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a moment because obviously last week, Harry Petty,
Speaker 2: Big Harrison Petty were free falland and whatever song you
Speaker 2: love singing trying to.
Speaker 1: See don't remember it was very bad.
Speaker 2: Well back then, back down, well he was, you know,
Speaker 2: the Lord and savior. Last week he came, he returned
Speaker 2: to the from the heavens to save Melbourne's forward line.
Speaker 2: And uh, one week later, how quick everything turns. He
Speaker 2: went down in the third and now he needs to
Speaker 2: look at another replacement for the replacement. So the shit
Speaker 2: has been happening at a rapid pace to finish this
Speaker 2: because you know, four or five weeks ago it was
Speaker 2: a two horse race and there may as well not
Speaker 2: be any other team in the competition. And now we're
Speaker 2: looking at it and it's just chaos.
Speaker 1: It's very interesting what's going on. Obviously, with Petty going down,
Speaker 1: they got to find a forward to fill a spot. Now,
Speaker 1: who's the two forwards? Are a play plane in the
Speaker 1: two is right? Now you've got Ben Brown and Brodie Grundy.
Speaker 3: So two of the nicest men on the planet Earth.
Speaker 1: Greatest and like amazing humans, right, and now some good
Speaker 1: one has to pick one of them to probably fill
Speaker 1: the place of Harrison Patty. So it's give me real
Speaker 1: interesting this week with what he does there. But I
Speaker 1: mean it's also three games until finals. Essentially, you're going
Speaker 1: you probably want to walk the team in pretty soon
Speaker 1: and so to figure out what's going on. So that's
Speaker 1: going to be a massive call from Melbourne and their futures.
Speaker 1: See kind of what happens.
Speaker 3: What's this space?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: He ever played at Casey Field?
Speaker 1: Case Fields? Yeah? Yeah, I have played down there during
Speaker 1: COVID times. Long Way rim Grim.
Speaker 3: Long way Wait. The weather always seems to be crap out.
Speaker 1: I became friends with Ned Reeves give me a jumper
Speaker 1: back because I think as like cousin or something like that,
Speaker 1: wanted to be me for Mad Monday. So I finally
Speaker 1: got that back last week. Thanks mate, I.
Speaker 2: Heard your winching about it on the podcast. Probably let's
Speaker 2: jump into the Saint Kilda Carlton game. Saints were so
Speaker 2: bloody close. They had him, they had him on the
Speaker 2: ropes and Carlton just you know, said we're here. Got
Speaker 2: out of it they and got out of it in
Speaker 2: exciting fashion. And they one of those momentum teams. Once
Speaker 2: the ball starts rolling, it's it turns into a big bowler.
Speaker 2: What's that what was that ball? What's that movie the
Speaker 2: with the Duds running Away from the Boulder?
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones and the Lost Arc or some
Speaker 1: of that. That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's the guy.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 3: That's Carlton.
Speaker 1: Great media.
Speaker 2: But Carlton is that guy. Indiana Jones. But whatever the
Speaker 2: actor is called.
Speaker 1: And Harris is everyone on them and everything's.
Speaker 3: His name's Harrison something too. Harrison Ford.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of Fords in this episode, a.
Speaker 3: Lot of Harrison's. We just had Harrison's Teddy. Anyway, we're talking.
Speaker 1: About footing here. Sorry, go back to that. Yeah, Carlton
Speaker 1: sitting fifth on the ladder. Who would have guessed that?
Speaker 1: You know, you think back to like midway through the year.
Speaker 1: Everyone's on their ass about goal kicking and how they're
Speaker 1: doing terrible and everything else. Now they're fifth on the
Speaker 1: ladder and Carlton's given the big old bird toll them
Speaker 1: by the.
Speaker 2: We do say that, but the guy that was missing
Speaker 2: all the goals hasn't been playing, so they fixed it
Speaker 2: all up.
Speaker 3: Apparently they did have the you.
Speaker 2: Know, we talked about they need to just have drinks
Speaker 2: going into the by period, and they did it.
Speaker 1: Did they as you would though, man.
Speaker 3: Six everything, Nope. To any coaches out there, if you
Speaker 3: plan a bit ship the.
Speaker 1: U asks a few coolers whatever you're on, call them.
Speaker 3: What do you call them?
Speaker 1: Coolers?
Speaker 3: What's the stubby holes, stubbes.
Speaker 1: Cozzies, my brother cooozies under they are over the top
Speaker 1: of the beers, sit down in a circle and have
Speaker 1: a bit of fun. Cool So gross Saint Kilder kicks
Speaker 1: four goals to one in the second term and then
Speaker 1: only one goal in the second half. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: they were up and then they kind of weren't able
Speaker 1: to hit the scoreboard in the second half and Carlton
Speaker 1: took advantage.
Speaker 2: Had a dare ice coffee. You get that energy back,
Speaker 2: but they couldn't get it up and running and.
Speaker 3: It's desperate for sponsors by the sound of that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: couldn't get across the line. But you know went unbiased here,
Speaker 3: So yeah, fortunately for Carlton they could.
Speaker 1: Get And this is what we talked about earlier. Charlie,
Speaker 1: how many do you kick? Six, seven, eight on one?
Speaker 1: So text kicks two and Charlie kicks one. Very quiet
Speaker 1: weeks for the Coleman leaders and Charlie is only six
Speaker 1: ahead and it's sixty eight to sixty three, so with
Speaker 1: a few games left in the season, it's still wide open.
Speaker 1: If Charlie's only kicking one this week and Texas kicking
Speaker 1: a few, you know, like Text can come back and
Speaker 1: hit a few off him, I think, and who knows
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But also King returns and kick two,
Speaker 1: which is a good sign for Saint Kilda, big King back.
Speaker 1: But Weeding also who played on and had nine intercepts
Speaker 1: and three contested mark So it was a big battle
Speaker 1: down there in the forward line or the back line,
Speaker 1: depending on what team you support, but a very entertainment
Speaker 1: one out, good point.
Speaker 3: Let's move on to freeo Brisbane another nail. But I
Speaker 3: thought Brisbane were gonna cook.
Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna happen in the last.
Speaker 2: So flag mantle officially over. You have to say they
Speaker 2: were already you know, behind the eight ball, but they've
Speaker 2: got one in Luke Jackson forty four. Not quite a
Speaker 2: plumber kick the goal twenty four touches. Probably a pretty
Speaker 2: good game for you know, a young tool, but I
Speaker 2: think they can take it a little bit out of
Speaker 2: this year, but probably overall pretty disappointing season for Fremantle.
Speaker 2: But the Lions, you know, this win is one that
Speaker 2: they desperately needed given the state of the top four
Speaker 2: at the moment. They're all on the same points, still
Speaker 2: two games ahead Collingwood, but second, third and fourth all
Speaker 2: just you know, fumbling and falling over each other.
Speaker 1: I mean, even the percentage is interesting because the Lions
Speaker 1: are third, ahead of the Power and also one point
Speaker 1: one percent behind the second place Demon, so it's a
Speaker 1: very close on percentage also there between the top four.
Speaker 2: Which is what's you know, the costly loss for Port
Speaker 2: the four in a row. Then now their percentage isn't
Speaker 2: very good. It's going to be interesting for them. They
Speaker 2: need a couple of big wins. But we'll see how
Speaker 2: we go. Freddy, I want to talk about this because
Speaker 2: one of my.
Speaker 1: Favorite players, I mean, pickets up there. Don't get me
Speaker 1: wrong with this man. Oh the fact they can do
Speaker 1: a backflip celebration just makes me love them. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even care what he does if he does
Speaker 1: backflip to start the game, to go through the banner,
Speaker 1: like yo, unreal. I'm just throwing ideas out there, bro.
Speaker 2: With tough time Entertainment Grand Final, get him doing the backflips,
Speaker 2: canceled them sprints, the sprint he last week obviously from
Speaker 2: the pocket kicked a crazy drop money and I don't
Speaker 2: even know how it went through. Still well, he won
Speaker 2: uped himself from last week to this week, kicking under
Speaker 2: pressure to kicking a banana, both in crazy important stages
Speaker 2: of the game.
Speaker 1: He's less than a minute ago, he gets the handle
Speaker 1: outside to the corner of sorry, the corner we talked
Speaker 1: about the last week, to the boundary and he just
Speaker 1: bananas won into the fricking like it just absurd the
Speaker 1: confidence to do that with like a minute left, game
Speaker 1: on the line, and he slotted it. Absolute gun. He's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite players to watch. And unfortunately though,
Speaker 1: the Lions came back and they ended up I think
Speaker 1: Charlie Cameron set up hip Wood and they essentially were
Speaker 1: able to get up by eight points and that kind
Speaker 1: of got them over the line. But Freemantle didn't go
Speaker 1: down without a fight. They knew that their season was
Speaker 1: up and the you know was up for grabs in
Speaker 1: this game, and they were able to put the fight up.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get over the line in Brisbane now top
Speaker 1: four and flag mantle officially done.
Speaker 3: Now let's get.
Speaker 2: Into the one of the games, one of the two
Speaker 2: games Collingwood games this weekend Hawthorn versus the Magpies upset loss.
Speaker 2: I would say Hawthorne underdogs one oh five, Collingwood seventy three.
Speaker 2: And there was a fair bit that came out of
Speaker 2: this game. Obviously, the injury to Nick Dacos is probably headlining.
Speaker 2: It a bit of a fracture in the kneecap, doesn't
Speaker 2: require surgery, which is you know, a little bit of
Speaker 2: a silver lining, so it's a rest and recovery. But
Speaker 2: they're saying six weeks now.
Speaker 1: It leads us to the pre lim I think he
Speaker 1: can play.
Speaker 3: Pre limb maybe earlier. Do they still have that buy
Speaker 3: pre finals.
Speaker 1: Say pre fine By? I think even with that, I
Speaker 1: think it's around the prelim time, jeez, So I still
Speaker 1: have to get to a prelim to be able to
Speaker 1: have that opportunity, which is interesting, but it does put
Speaker 1: a big question mic around the whole you know, brown
Speaker 1: Low and everything else. But it is a massive injury
Speaker 1: for us. Unfortunately. I got to give a shout out
Speaker 1: the whole Thorns rostro kicks pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of get much worse brown and yeah.
Speaker 1: Roun and yell. It's a very interesting choice of colors.
Speaker 1: But they did kick the first five goals. It felt
Speaker 1: like the rest of the game we really tried to
Speaker 1: play catch up. Now very different from the last week, right,
Speaker 1: we all knew about Mitchell essentially giving them a spray
Speaker 1: a quarter time after they had given up nine goals
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and then this week they ended
Speaker 1: up kicking five goals in the first quarter, so they've
Speaker 1: changed it around. Who knows what spray will do to
Speaker 1: you with that team, But yeah, they were able to
Speaker 1: get a hot start, and it was it was tough
Speaker 1: for us to try to catch up after that.
Speaker 3: The Hawthorne's credit, they looked great.
Speaker 1: They kicked the first three goals of the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: and that was kind of one of the things everyone thought, Oh,
Speaker 1: maybe the Colin would come back, blah blah blah, But
Speaker 1: after they kicked those first three, it was it was
Speaker 1: a tough, tough ass to come back from there. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we had the Nick decass time, Mitchell, Nathan Murphy all
Speaker 1: finished on the bench at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see kind of
Speaker 1: what the I guess the ramifications of that are going
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of magnet moving and lucky
Speaker 2: that you've got a few players, few teammates to come through.
Speaker 1: I've got to mention this though, James Sisley dispellsals, nineteen marks,
Speaker 1: three goals, sets, and ten intercept possessions. That is a
Speaker 1: freaker stat line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine a lot of Collingwood fans would have
Speaker 2: been frustrated with that matchup or lack thereof, because I
Speaker 2: think he had fifteen touches in the first quarter, and
Speaker 2: we all know how damaging Cicily is and how well
Speaker 2: he kicks and sets up sets them up from defense.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it would have been good to see something
Speaker 2: happen there or shut him down.
Speaker 3: Now, Jamie Elliott.
Speaker 1: Still killing it, impressing every single week. I think he
Speaker 1: kicked three on the weekend. His shot from the boundary ridiculous,
Speaker 1: and then he always just gives a celebration. I love it.
Speaker 1: He's like, what do you expect? It's always just so cold.
Speaker 1: He just he's cold, and I'm a big fan of it,
Speaker 1: love it, absolutely love it. He Yeah, he had a
Speaker 1: good game, but yeah, Unfortunately, we couldn't get over the
Speaker 1: Hawthorne Football Club and lost by fair margin on the weekend.
Speaker 1: And we'll look to lick our wounds, as they say,
Speaker 1: inations We'll be all right, lick our wounds and head
Speaker 1: after the next week where we play Friday Night Geelong,
Speaker 1: WHI should be a big game.
Speaker 2: Big big game Friday night VJA Long Geelong. Another one
Speaker 2: that they need to win too. They need to be
Speaker 2: winning as many as they can. Now, that wasn't the
Speaker 2: only Collingwood game that happened on the weekend because Mason
Speaker 2: Cox traveled down to Werribee which is avalon Airport Oval.
Speaker 1: Yeah, googled that it was. I've been there before old
Speaker 1: Werby Oval last year unfortunately, and yeah, I had to
Speaker 1: Google maps, had to get out to that joint. And
Speaker 1: I was able to play in the VFL, which was good,
Speaker 1: fine and probably a bit more rock which was nice.
Speaker 2: Now let us know how this all played out, because
Speaker 2: I always eagerly await stories from the VFL because it's
Speaker 2: not normal.
Speaker 3: It's weird.
Speaker 1: Shit happens, to say the least.
Speaker 2: It's always an interaction with a fan that's you know,
Speaker 2: doing something, more players that you don't know or you know,
Speaker 2: your cart gets bogged or something. Tell us some little
Speaker 2: stories from your your time in Weerribee.
Speaker 1: Well you can see on my eye was getting the
Speaker 1: ice stitched, right, so I got four stitches in my eye.
Speaker 1: You know. I love the people help out and the
Speaker 1: fans are amazing. So it is real kind of local footy,
Speaker 1: I guess you want to call it. And I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there getting my eyes stitched, and people are just walking
Speaker 1: in and out of the room. It's like very casual
Speaker 1: and asking people to sign autograph stuff and whatnot, and
Speaker 1: the kids outside and this person that person. I'm getting
Speaker 1: a needle in my head, just like this is chaos
Speaker 1: and very weird. And even the locker rooms are very
Speaker 1: different than the experience you know, pre game and everything else.
Speaker 1: I think I got there like two hours early and
Speaker 1: I was like the only person there.
Speaker 3: I'm like.
Speaker 1: Spot. There's little things like that. But yeah, there's plenty
Speaker 1: of trash talk, which is hilarious. Obviously, everyone gives you
Speaker 1: stick whenever you get dropped back down to the VFL
Speaker 1: with players. Yeah, some reason the I don't know if
Speaker 1: I should really get into that, but yeah, I was
Speaker 1: called what was it? Elton? John over the weekend, which
Speaker 1: is quite funny coming from the person and what they
Speaker 1: looked like. But yeah, it was interesting. It was it's
Speaker 1: such a funny. Yeah, I think so. I'm not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure, to be honest, it's a weird, a
Speaker 1: very odd sledge and it was not just a one off.
Speaker 1: It was a consistent every single out.
Speaker 3: Ty d didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: But this is the fl You just got to laugh
Speaker 1: through it and it was. Yeah, it was good. It
Speaker 1: was good to get a game off there. Unfortunately we
Speaker 1: did lose, got smacked pretty hard, but yeah, it was
Speaker 1: it was an interesting experience.
Speaker 2: Again, so almost plumber. What your stat line reads? Fifteen touches,
Speaker 2: forty eight hitouts.
Speaker 1: And a goal. Yeah. Well, I got pulled up to
Speaker 1: the fourth line in the fourth quarter. I wasn't too
Speaker 1: happy because I knew you'd come on here saying did
Speaker 1: he get the plumber? Did he get to fifty? I
Speaker 1: knew I was closed. I was like she either I'm
Speaker 1: over it and I'm like right near it or something
Speaker 1: like that. I got put into the fourth line. I
Speaker 1: was Yeah, it was the coach's decision. I think Craig
Speaker 1: want to see me in the fourth line a bit.
Speaker 1: So unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the plumber
Speaker 1: stat even though it would have been a very if
Speaker 1: I played like two more minutes in the rock Player
Speaker 1: to guard it. So it's kind of like frustrating in
Speaker 1: that sense.
Speaker 3: But I could say Ruckman, nominate and you're like, yes.
Speaker 1: Like sprinting down for the four line for a de fifty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it was. Now it's good though, but yeah, it's Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting experience, and we'll continue to try to
Speaker 1: put her best foot forward and see how we go.
Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit. I just it's fascinating.
Speaker 2: You probably it's not the funnest it's not the funnest experience.
Speaker 2: But let's dig in a little deeper. How is the
Speaker 2: whole experience out there with? You got to learn who
Speaker 2: the hell these guys are that you're playing with. I
Speaker 2: know you probably like to pretend that you know them all,
Speaker 2: but but you're out there and it's like trying to
Speaker 2: fit into a game plan, trying to fit into a team,
Speaker 2: trying to mesh with the boys. It's a very different
Speaker 2: vibe from you've you've had a long stretch at AFL level.
Speaker 2: Now is it was? It different getting back there.
Speaker 1: It's different, man, it's a different pace. I think it's
Speaker 1: probably biggest thing you realize, Like different pace, different skill level,
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, And.
Speaker 3: It doesn't make it easier just going back there because everything.
Speaker 1: Is sound as efficient, Like whenever you play a FL
Speaker 1: you kind of it's more predictable where the ball is
Speaker 1: gonna land everything else. Were in the VFL, it's a
Speaker 1: bit more chaotic as you'd expect, you know, like the
Speaker 1: skill level is not as high, so you'd expect to
Speaker 1: be more mistakes in the ball, not to be as
Speaker 1: easily read and everything else. So it's yeah, it's unique,
Speaker 1: it's different. It's yeah. I think like one thing I
Speaker 1: really realized over the time of the weekend was like
Speaker 1: the thing that really stuck out was the people that
Speaker 1: are on the ground whenever you're doing the quarter time
Speaker 1: breaks and halftime and stuff, and it was just like
Speaker 1: it's almost because we're losing. It was like infuriating you now,
Speaker 1: like like you just want to play, you don't want
Speaker 1: any other distractions. So that was kind of one of
Speaker 1: the biggest differences, I guess. But yeah, it is what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: Before we before we do wrap up and look ahead
Speaker 2: the next week just for a little bit. What did
Speaker 2: happen to your eye? Was it a specific incident or.
Speaker 1: Just punch in the face. You wouldn't believe it. It
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Yeah, probably, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: pickt got touched over the weekend from the boundary. Some
Speaker 1: were abe person had a few more to too many tins.
Speaker 2: Just phrases like I said, go forward and forward, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to get fifty.
Speaker 1: No, it was, Yeah, it was an errent just like
Speaker 1: tried to spoil and hit me in the face. He
Speaker 1: actually apologized after it happened, so about thirty at that point.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, no, it was instantly. It just kind
Speaker 1: of happens, and I didn't think it was that bad
Speaker 1: until I took a shower and looked in the mirror.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can see the inside of
Speaker 1: my head. Yeah great, there's fantastic days. Whip it out
Speaker 1: and stitch it up there and stitch it in the
Speaker 1: After the game, they're just taking into the doctor's rooms
Speaker 1: to out any painkillers. I just get a little numbing
Speaker 1: sensations needle in this stick stix stitch done very staunch.
Speaker 2: Well, let's look ahead because it is getting very close
Speaker 2: to finals. Carlton Melbourne, massive game next week, Carlton all
Speaker 2: the momentum. Melbourne has a few things to tinker with,
Speaker 2: you know, ins and outs, injuries and whatnot. And I
Speaker 2: think Chera comes back for Carlton, which he was having
Speaker 2: a blinder in the Collingwood game before you had to
Speaker 2: get subbed out with a hamstring injury. Port Adelaide needed
Speaker 2: to get back to winning ways over in Adelaide with
Speaker 2: GWS who be Adelaide there not only a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. So it's going to be a big game
Speaker 2: from them, Absolutely biggest game of the round obviously. Collingwood
Speaker 2: Geelong Friday night, absolute blockbuster. Mcg if you if you
Speaker 2: don't have tickets and you can still get them, I
Speaker 2: would get on that snap them up quick because they're
Speaker 2: going to be sold out. We'd love to see big
Speaker 2: Mason Cox back in the forward line, maybe back in
Speaker 2: the ruck, maybe you know, sweeping out of defense. Been
Speaker 2: a run and carry off half back.
Speaker 1: I'll take anything to get back in the time.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you could feel Nick Nacos as wrong. I'm
Speaker 3: sure they're looking for.
Speaker 1: The ball, that's what they're looking for and a big
Speaker 1: seven foot round ball skills said, there are some big
Speaker 1: games coming up this weekend. Obviously the finals hunt continues
Speaker 1: for some of these teams and it's going to be
Speaker 1: important for them. So it's going to be exciting a
Speaker 1: week ahead. And yeah, but that's it from us. We're
Speaker 1: going to close it up there. What are you looking
Speaker 1: forward to? I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: Carlton versus Melbourne this week coming up. That's going to
Speaker 1: be fine. That's going to be a really interesting for
Speaker 1: both teams to see how they go. Carlton sitting fifth
Speaker 1: on the ladder very important for them. Delicious.
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to a nice night's sleep hopefully at
Speaker 3: the end of the day.
Speaker 1: We've got that exciting thing. We can't talk too much
Speaker 1: about it. I can announce visually see it soon which
Speaker 1: is going I can announce it next week, next week. Okay,
Speaker 1: a few more things we do I wise. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: all right, well that is it. We'll wrap it up
Speaker 1: there with that little nugget we've gone with gold nugga
Speaker 1: for braandony Cox. There the match jump on the march.
Speaker 1: Everyone give us a fall. Thank you everyone so much
