WEBVTT - GWS Incident Explained in Full 🍊 Cement Head 🪨 Cox vs Grundy 👊 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.000 All right, Part two The Mason Cock Show. 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.959 Now we've got the breview of round one coming up, 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:12.200 and we're also going to talk about do you want 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:13.920 to get straight into a breakin the GWS game that 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:14.360 we played. 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.760 Yeah, well, okay, yeah, I think people have been waiting 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.439 for it. GWS Giants versus Collingwood Football Club. I won't 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.439 even mention where it took place. I won't go that far. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.720 But there was some banter going into the games, which 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.280 we love. We love banter, we love friendly banter, and 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.280 a bit of marketing to sell some of the tickets, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.240 to make some of the make some of the squid 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.440 heading into the game. So there was some back and forth. 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.440 We had a petting zoo out there at the stockyards. 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:41.839 It was great. We had a laugh. There was a 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:43.880 cutout of yourself there, not that you would have seen 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.560 it because you would have been down in the rooms. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.280 But yeah, it was all fun and games, you know. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.479 And then there was the pregame warm up, which is 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.920 normally pretty uneventful, but in this circumstance it was quite eventful. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.880 Something happened and it was put out into the world 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.680 as chaos. Chaos reigned, So essentially, I'll break down what 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.880 we saw as pundits watching the vision, and you can 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.760 explain if that's what happened or because it sounded like 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.240 it sounded like GWS. We're in there doing their rock 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.200 craft and Mason Cox comes in off the square and 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.560 bang through the center of the pack, knocks into poor 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.559 defenseless Shane Mumford. And that's the vision that we saw. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.520 Now everyone wants to know from your mouth, what happened, 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.760 from your perspective, what happened in this circumstance. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.040 Geez, that would play really well into the storyline of 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.600 the week, wouldn't it, Brandon, wouldn't it? 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.240 Yeah? 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.080 I mean I think obviously, like there's been a lot 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.920 of commentary around it. I've stayed off social mediaca, so 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.840 I know it's a pretty hectic place with a lot 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.199 of different things that are going on at the moment. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.560 But yeah, the whole story behind it, I probably didn't 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.320 even think about it really, to be honest, until late 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.040 that night I saw someone kind of mention it to 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.680 me through text message. But yeah, before the game, as 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.880 you do, each team, you know, gets to do a 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.800 bit of a warm up center bounce, the rockman get 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.120 to jump against the bag and each team, you know, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.520 is able to do that beforehand. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.720 So we did it. DC went and did a few jumps. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.320 I went and did a few jumps, and in this 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.160 particular circumstance, you know, the very last one I was 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.400 gonna do, we had the bagman there. DC was holding 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.720 the bag and the bounce actually went pretty much outside 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.960 of the circle, and I asked the umpire, I said, oh, 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.639 do you mind if I just have one more real 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.920 quick and yet no worries and he goes to bounce 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.560 it again. And I wasn't really looking at what was 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.320 going on with youb as what was happening. I was 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:33.920 just trying to get a real quick last one in there, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.480 and that was kind of my mentality to try to 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.640 focus on the game, get through it. And yeah, you 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.240 just take it out of the rock. You're like, okay, cool, 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.720 Like you move on. I guess you know, it's their 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.720 turn to get in there. Like I didn't jump into him, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.560 didn't stick a knee into him, didn't do anything kind 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.040 of crazy even just kind of got out of the way. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.000 It was like, yep, cool, y'all's turn. No stress. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.120 Got at least one good bounce in and that was 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.080 kind of the story, but apparently something else happened. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:54.760 I'm not really sure. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.400 I did see the broadcast thing what BT said, and 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.840 I think with broadcasts they get given vis of something, right, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.519 and that's just what they based it on. With that 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.919 really understanding of what's probably going on behind the scenes 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.960 or what's actually happened beforehand, and obviously the scenario of 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.519 what was played out during the week and through the 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.320 last world three months, I guess they've kind of play 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.000 it out. It just made for good entertainment, right, I mean, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.960 it's it's pretty much just you know, one team warms 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.359 up and the other team just kind of like kind 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:20.840 of you know, pressures you out of it. 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.480 And that's just the scenario of that. 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.400 So for me, you know, whenever the umpire says you 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.200 can do something, I go and do it. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:28.040 And that's what I did. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.959 But yeah, that's that's the full story. That's turned into 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.800 a bit of a whole debacle Bright and it's been 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.800 a pretty wild forty eight hours. And like, to be honest, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.000 even after the game, like none of that. It was 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.960 me probably playing a shit game. I was probably was 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.760 more worried about what happened in a pre game between 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.520 me and the next player who's now a coach there. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.560 It's it's kind of it's somewhat comical for me kind 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.840 of sometimes the way media construes things and the way 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.040 things are put out there, and I think nowadays with 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.040 the way social media is, and you see one angle 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.360 and you see one I guess perspective of it, and 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.200 then people kind of make opinions based on that and 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:01.720 comment on it. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.880 So you're kind of used to it by now. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.520 It's never ideal, but you do realize it's part of 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.680 the media sphere. I'm sure it'll be commented on for 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.920 the next like foot eight hours and whatnot. But to me, 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.880 it's done. We've made the statement. I've made this little 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.400 explanation of what it is we focus on Sydney. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.800 I saw it the first time like most people, through 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.920 social media, and I knew there had to be more 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.680 to it because you could see the Collingwood bag man 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.600 in close vicinity. You could see the umpire bouncing the 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.400 ball in the background, so I knew that had to be. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.560 Not don't let the truth get in the way of 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:36.360 a good story break. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.040 It was a good continuation of the storyline that had 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.400 been building on the way in now you did say 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.960 that you weren't really aware of it until after the game, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.200 and it seems that GWS, the guys in the video 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.560 weren't really aware either, because it doesn't sound like GWS 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.279 have wanted a follow up. They didn't ask to investigate. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.240 It's kind of been driven by this broadcast vision that 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.800 appeared online. AFL only really wanted to to investigate off 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.240 the back of that. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.680 So and we've never the wild thing is like, ah 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.640 this you know, I guess like you know, rivalry wherever 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.640 you want to call it, that's been played up. We've 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.800 talked about on this podcast many a times how good 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.800 Gobas they were your team last year, like we talked 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.360 about being like a top four team. We've given him 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.920 a heap of credit and everything else, but that that's 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.400 not important, Braydon. That doesn't make the news. That doesn't 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.280 make what. You know, people want to hear. They want 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.240 to hear something that's going to spark interest. And can 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.240 Korn's Yeah, I made a statement about something that JJ 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.240 Reddick put out there recently about people sometimes are more 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.920 in tune too, you know, that kind of clickbait media 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.640 that's going to get headlines rather than actually what's happened? 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.159 And he did also make comment on this. He's a 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.640 lot of people have made comments the podcast corns. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.000 That's all. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.440 We have been waiting for the podcast to drop to 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.560 hear it directly from your mouth. And that's what I 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.160 think is the most disappointing part for me was that 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.960 this has been out there without much context for people 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.240 to run wild with be reported on, you know, public opinion. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:07.600 I think it wasn't a great move on GWS's social 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.240 media team's behalf, because I know that they're trying to 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.440 be edgy and they've got this really good brand building. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.560 But to put the clip up post game like they 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:22.200 know exactly what they're doing, it's inviting vitriolic abuse towards 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.800 a player with the caption will let you caption this? 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.480 You know what the internet does. It's not going to 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.720 go oh like post funny things or harmless things. It's 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.960 going to be pretty vitriolic stuff towards yourself and the 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.719 AFL doubling down posting the clip with a please explain. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.440 Both of those together got a thousand comments. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.359 I can't imagine too many of those impositives. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.440 Scrolling through some of those comments, it was pretty disgusting, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.000 to be fair, But yeah, I thought it was a 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.680 bit disappointing that, you know, they put it up. They 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.400 knew the reaction that it would draw. You can't work 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.560 in social media and not expect that reaction when you 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.680 put up something like that in a you know, a 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.480 day and age where playerfare I should be front and center. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.480 I just felt like you were thrown to the wolves. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.760 I think I understand the AFL side of it, like, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.920 you know, you talk about grass roots footy and wanted 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.560 to make sure the right image comes out there. And 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.280 you know, people are you know, being able to look 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:14.760 up to role models that do these kind of things 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.640 right now. I get it from the AFL standpoint of, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.400 you know, please explain, that's what we'll do. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:19.280 We'll send them a message. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.600 And it's just it's kind of weird whenever you, I guess, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.320 interact with a lot of people at AFL and you 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.400 have to go through these processes. They're very formal and 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.080 everything else where. I feel like if you just wanted 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.720 to chat to me, like you have my phone number, 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.040 you're my boss, just call me, just call me. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.240 So I totally understand. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.120 From the AFL's perspective, of like the visual of it 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.400 and all that they have the footage, they'll look at it, 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.680 they'll kind of see it as it is, and you know, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.480 we'll see kind of what they say from it. But yeah, 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.280 I totally understand both sides of the you know, the 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.120 coin and you know, Braden, that's I understand kind of 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.720 what you're saying, and that's you know, that's all part 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.960 of it. We've seen many times these things happening through 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.840 the media. I'm not I'm kind of a bit of 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.760 an adult, I guess, and a bit older and can 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.840 kind of deal with it and understand how it works. 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.560 But you know, I've seen younger guys come through the 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.920 system that I've had to deal with it. Those are 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.120 the ones I think you probably, you know, a bit 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:06.720 more wary of. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.040 It was interesting, it was an interesting way to start 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.840 and I was thinking, it's great that we've got to 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.560 please explain and it's not even round one. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:13.800 Mate. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.880 I did ask you to do something the day. I 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.960 did ask you to do something, you know, to get 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.720 some attention going into the next game. But boy, oh boy, 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.120 well we we've started strong. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:24.480 Now. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.000 I don't know what you're going to do next week, 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.760 but you know, keep the eyes peeled for this one coming. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.400 Out friend of mine, so we'll have a bit of trash. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.040 I'm sure he already started it. He said that he's 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.880 going to grab your jump the next week after what 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.319 you did to pick it. So it's going to be interesting. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.800 All right, Mace. That's enough of that incident because we've 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.920 done it to death. We've we've talked about it. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:44.960 I've seen enough. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.560 Now we're moving on. We're moving on because there wasn't 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.840 much to it. But let's jump into the game review. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.400 Because it wasn't great. It wasn't a great game. It 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.240 wasn't fun to watch from a skill standpoint. You seem 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.199 to have a lot of the ball you being Collingwood, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:05.840 you personally not as much. But yeah, Collingwood's inaccuracy woes. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.200 You had more scoring shots, and the data came out 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.800 after it the expected score taking into consideration everything, it 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.199 had you guys winning. So there's a lot of doom 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.720 and gloom about this game. But I feel like there's 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.520 a few more, you know, polishes that you could do 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.960 to some performances. Kick a couple straighter goals and Bob's 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:26.320 your uncle. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.400 Yeah, a lot closer game that's for sure. Yeah, it was. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.280 It was such an interesting game going out there, like 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.360 it was the credits tows. We've talked about them on 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.760 the podcast. We'll say it again multiple times. They're a 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:41.719 good squad. Their defense is your team for the year. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.839 Well, yeah, I said that probably kicked down from you 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.520 didn't have a gun to my head last week. But yeah, 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.560 I think their defense is so stingy. It was in 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.080 there so much and you just weren't kicking goals. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.320 Yeah, they they've got a very good defense. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.880 Taylor who plays back there and haven't with them stuff 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:00.640 through the game. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.040 He's a hell of defender. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.760 And they've got quite a few others that are back 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.560 there that are really good at doing their job. And yeah, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.040 over the weekend, they just seem to be getting you know, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.840 so much, I guess, like run off back and then 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.040 the turnover and be able to get into their fifty 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.280 and do it efficiently. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.240 I think was a big thing. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.640 Like I feel like a lot of those shots were 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.680 set shots, you know, where you know, we were having 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.880 shots from further out and you know, snaps and things 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.080 like that that we're trying to convert now. But like 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.320 you said, we weren't you know, as you know, great 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.120 in front of goal as far as accuracy, and that's 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.520 that's part of it. If we were a little bit 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.920 better and be a bit of a closer score, who knows. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:31.760 What would happen. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.840 But yeah, they outplayed us, and it's you know, it's 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:35.760 just part of the game. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.880 You know, can be. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.520 Able to win every single one Bright and this is 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.160 part of the experience, right, But yeah, credit goes to him. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:42.959 On the flip side, you know, it's a bit of 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240 an overreaction. Colling would go up there. You're actually underdogs 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.280 going into a GWS away game and you know, fair income. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.800 The home team won and it was like the biggest 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.000 shock ever. But will we digress because as inaccurate as 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.760 Collingwood was, g w Wes they couldn't miss they when 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.720 in at one stage they went in four times for 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:07.360 three goals and they had Cal Brown kick five straight. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.920 Jesse Hogan, they're efficient. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.240 Jesse Hogan the Hulk, he hold up kick. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.319 Four big hands on the day. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.120 Brett Daniels he kicked four. Now, Toby Green, I don't 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.400 know if you remember this goal, but he's getting tackled, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.640 he's on the boundary and he Bana na nah is 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.200 it through straight through the middle and it's like these 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.160 guys are taking the piss. He couldn't kick give us 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.360 one of them down the other end. But yeah, it 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:37.280 was incredible to watch their highly skilled team and they 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.520 are a very fun team to watch. Now that they're 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.280 not playing Collingwood from now on, I can jump back 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.560 on a bit. Fun aren't to watch when they're not 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.280 up against Collingwood because jeez, they're good. They're clinical almost 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.520 the way that they kick it around. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.680 Yeah, I think they're going to be one of those 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.079 teams that is a big force in the league. And 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.400 you know, they do live up in Sydney so that 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.920 so you don't really see probably as much of the 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.000 media around it here in Melbourne. But they're going to 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.840 come down and really, you know, shake it up. There's 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.319 a lot of teams are off the top of the ladder. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.200 They're going to you know, put the sword to and 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.040 it's going to be an interesting year. Like I think 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.520 they're going to be one of those teams that's definitely 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:10.600 going to be up to the top of the ladder 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:11.120 at the end of it. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.000 And yeah, it was it was a good a good 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.199 experience for us to go up. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.520 There, and you know, we'll learn from that, we'll move 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.040 on from it, and it's just part of the you know, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.360 part of the season. Really like it's one game out 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.400 of a much larger experience, and you know, we'll learn 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.200 from it, and well, we'll make the most of the 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.640 you know, the situation, and we'll be able to hopefully 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.439 apply some of those learnings to Sydney this week. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.280 I think they evened it up on you because I 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.800 reckon you tore them a bit of a new one 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.280 last time and Sam Taylor, you took a mark O 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.400 rim kicked the goal and geez, Sam Taylor is just 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.480 a good defenders. Is let's touch on your game. We'll 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.840 just do a little quick, quick, quick little bit. I 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.480 just want to know, because everyone wants to know what's 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.800 going through your head at halftime when you haven't had 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:53.600 a touch of the pill. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.880 Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's kind of one of 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.080 those things. I don't really probably stress about it too much. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.640 You kind of you think of it, right, and you 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.560 think of like the contest you're in, and you know, 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.280 they had a very kind of like tall back line 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.920 that sense of like they you know, had a lot 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.120 of a lot of tolls on the team that were 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.520 coming across and all that, and yeah, sometimes you're not 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.880 going to have a million marks in the game, like 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.439 sometimes you're rolling the teams to bring the ball to ground. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.040 You know what, I've liked to take in more marks 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.280 in that game. Of course, I think that's pretty obvious 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.880 statement there. But I think you kind of look at 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.480 that and you go, Okay, let's just focus on the 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:27.040 things I can do. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:27.280 Well. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.640 That's part of my role to try to kind of 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.240 turn this thing around. And you know, there's there's things 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.680 in the rock that I was, you know, focusing on 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.120 trying to make the most of my time in there 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.960 if the Ford stuff wasn't going as well, and you know, 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.960 it's it's one of those things that you're not going 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.439 to be on every single game. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.800 And yes, I was off on the weekend. That's that's 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:44.280 part of it. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.120 I think it just given the scenario and the circumstances, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.360 it was probably you know, extrapol it out to be 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.000 a lot bigger deal. But yeah, I think in the game, 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.400 you're going to halftime and you know, I wouldn't have 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.800 known if I had to touch it out, to be honest, 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.800 So I can't really try to worry about that too much. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.400 But I know I hadn't kicked a goal, like you know, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.320 I've done well in center bounce in that sense, but 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.720 you know, there was probably a bit more impact I 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.000 was wanting to have on the game and I wasn't 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.760 having at that time. And you know, you obviously look 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.120 at it and you go, okay, how can I turn 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.080 this around? You know what's happens happens in the past, 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.800 and you know, you just look towards the future. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.319 And it's always good because it's I feel like it's 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.040 either you stand up and have a good one and 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.880 DC is a little quiet, or d C stands up 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.920 vice versa. D C twenty touches to go right around 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.120 the ground. It's good to see. We will talk about 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.600 some positives. Charlie Dean playing his first game. He was 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.880 thrown into the fire. He had to play on Jesse 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.200 Hogan up in the forward line. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.280 Not an easy task, not an easy task, not. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.480 An easy task to line up against any of their forwards, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.680 the very dynamic. But it was good to see him 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.280 out there first game get rewarded for, you know, all 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.000 the work that he's done in the leader. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.760 Yeah, Yeah, he's an incredible story. Like he's had very 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.320 unfortunate circumstances with his feet and injuries and everything else 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.800 throughout his career and to be able to finally get that, 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.640 you know, the opportunity to share it with his family 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:00.920 that came up and everything else. 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.400 It's it's one of those things that makes you think back. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.600 To your first game, right and like the experience that 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.400 was and being able to bring the people I mean 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040 so much to you into the you know, the opportunity 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.280 that you get and to have him in the rooms 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.000 and everything else, like obviously, you know, we would have 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.080 loved to win that game. I'm sure him going into 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.640 the room seeing his family after that would put a 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.120 smile on his face and be like, you know, all 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:25.480 these experiences of probably doubt at times or frustration around 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.080 the injury and things like that, like to be able 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.880 to finally have you know, a bit of light there 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.680 to be like, oh, look like I've you know, I'm 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.080 definitely making progress in my career and it's still kind 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.520 of going in the direction I want. And it would 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.280 have probably meant a lot to him as soon. And 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:39.680 you know, like I said, you kind of think back 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.320 to your first games, Like we had Lucky Schultz who 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.480 plays first game for the club, and Langa's you know, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.800 Tom Langdon came in and gave a little little speech 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.400 old number eight from back in the day. It was 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.720 good to see him again, and yeah, he's got his 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.520 family there and stuff too, And it's those kind of 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.960 moments that you kind of think of and you're like, man, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.480 this is like a this is an experience in life 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:57.960 you won't forget. You know, these are one of these 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.120 kind of milestones that you always look finally back on 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.000 and whenever you see someone else go through that, it 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.680 definitely puts a smile on your face. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.320 I didn't know Langer's had that gear in him. He's 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.720 been working on his stand up routine since he's been 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.920 stepped away from footy. That was one of the funniest 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.640 things I've ever seen him do. For those who haven't 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.680 seen the clip, he said, I'm going to give you 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.200 a brief history on the number eight, which is what 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.280 he's given to shooter Lucky Shultz, and he goes over 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.320 to his backpack says, hold on our second boys, and 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.760 he pulls out a massive binder full of paper because 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.680 already you're ready. That's gold that's some good gear. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.400 It is good. It is very good. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.600 It reminds me of Tyson gold Sack whenever he retired. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.320 He goes, oh, I'm just going to cover a few 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.160 things here, and he pulled out like the scrawl, and 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.200 the scrawl fell to the ground and rolled out like 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.760 another five meters in front of him. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.120 It was like, just a few things to take off. Boys, 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.280 you got some time, don't you. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.360 Timeless classic, one of the best things that I've ever 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.160 seen with my eyes. We've got Nick Daikos, not to 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:00.320 be confused with his brother Josh. He just you know, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.440 destroyed gravity. There was a moment in time where he 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.760 got the ball. He was in traffic, but he was 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.600 off balance and he somehow kicks it with the outside 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.640 of his boot, but it goes the reverse direction of gravity. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.240 And I don't know how he kicked it. I don't 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.240 know how it went that far off no balance and 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.480 no step. Yeah, Like I feel like there needs to 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.679 be an investigation, Like it's witchcraft. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.480 It's witchcraft what he does with the footy. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:29.720 I don't know how he did it. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.560 I mean, I've got to the point in my life 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.520 now where I've seen dates do so many frequently good 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.199 things that I just don't question it. Yeah, I'm just like, 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.119 you know what, there's just some people that are just 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.600 gifted with just inate abilities that I know I will 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.240 never have. And that's okay, that's all right. He'll never 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.320 be seven feet that's fine, he'll never be six for 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:49.440 eleven and that's. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:49.800 Just gut it. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.159 That's the facts of life. Okay. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.119 You can get stuff from the top shelf. That's he 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.680 has to ask for help. You have to get a 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.440 little step on light ball with no issue. Dang done. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.080 You have the duck going into doors. That's not really 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:02.520 a pro. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.320 But I took a flight. We talked about me on 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.080 flights going to the restroom. That's a bit of a sight. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.800 Just don't But I thought that was crazy. I watched 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.320 the replan. I was like, you can't actually do that, 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.720 So can we just call it back because we need 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:20.240 to do that again now. Bo McCreary, he's savage. He 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.120 needs to be locked up because he just he tackles 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.560 with an intensity and a ferocity. There was moments where 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.800 I don't know why if you can hear him or 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.480 see him, or he's breathing on your neck, just get 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.119 rid of the freaking because you're about to be smashed. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:36.840 And he did it a couple of times, got a 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.919 couple of free kicks. But there was one incident where 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:45.040 he grabbed Callen Ward. Now callen Ward, he's nicknamed Cement. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.560 Heead like he's a solid bloke, and he just smashed 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.639 him into the ground. Fair tackle because obviously nothing no 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.840 case stands for smashed him, just smashed him. And this 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.560 is a two way praise. Because kel Ward got up, 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.320 people were calling for the ambulance. 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.960 They were like confused because it was usually goes straight 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.359 into the stoppage of bowl goes up, and it was 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.240 kind of like this like stopped but didn't continue to play, 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.560 like like the umpire kind of like took extra time. 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:14.439 I was on the line. I was sitting there and 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:15.960 Taylor was next to me, and he was just kind 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.240 of like we're kind of like okay, let's go, like 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:19.520 let's come on, let's play on, like. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:20.280 Let's play the game. 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:21.960 Yeah, And that kind of looked and I saw Hi 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:23.960 underneath and I was like, oh no, Like he's a 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.720 tough player. I was like, something's going to be wrong 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.680 if he's taken it. If he's slow to get up, yeah, 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.960 or like something's going to be proper wrong. In credit Tom, 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.920 he just gets up. He's like, nah, she's all right, mate. 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.680 I don't like so on the white shot, they stay 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.240 in the white shot and players are doing the come 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.960 quick quick, we need help, we need help. It's either 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:42.920 ambulance or. 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.800 Yeah, one oken hand or you're like, you know something's happened, 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.760 like seriously. We're like, there's a bone that's been like 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.320 cracked her, like skin's been poked out or whatever it is. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.240 And it goes in and cow Ward's standing there and 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.639 he's got this lump sticking out of his shoulder and 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.280 you're like, well, I can see something's not right internally, mate, 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.479 you should probably get off, and players are telling him 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.080 to mate, maybe just jog off to the bench or whatever. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.359 Cal's like, no, I'm good, just throw her up. And 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.480 as he's saying that, whatever's lump is underneath it, it's 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:17.280 moving around. It's like under the skin, and you're like, look, 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.119 we're not going to keep going until you get off 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.080 because your arms about to fall off. Mate. 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.280 He was just ready to rock tough cookie. Oh man, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.159 I don't know if he's done it. Before, but I 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.439 was just like I was just like I was like, 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.240 like I could see that something was kind of wrong. 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.440 I was like, yeah, I understand, like we don't want 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.359 to stop the game, but I was like, mate, like 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.680 I'm the opposition, take your time. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.520 It was like, imagine if Jeremy Howe got up last 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.320 year and just was like, no, let's go for it, 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:45.800 and his arms flopping around. 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.720 Like gumby arms up. It was like they. 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.879 Cut to Cal sitting on the bench and he looked miffed, 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.639 like he was like like it was like he was 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.600 muttering ship under his breath, and I don't know whether 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.560 it was like I'm gonna be injured out for a bit, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.320 or it was like pricks, I could have played through this, 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:05.760 like I could have kept going. 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:07.359 I don't know. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.000 It blows my mind, like some of the stuff that 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.640 players go through, and like the pain they fight through 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.480 and stuff. Like some people, I feel like they've played 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.280 AFL for a while, their pain tolerance is just so high. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.239 Yeah that like they could go through anything. I think 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:21.840 they're fine. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.840 There's a couple of players like that. Like if I 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.200 ever see Pendles stay down for an extended period of time, 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.199 I'm like he's in trouble because like he just doesn't 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.800 do it. So there's a few players like that out 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.560 there that are like, you know, it's like time out 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.920 kind of injury. When you see him staying down pendals 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.080 is normally he's just snapped one of his million fingers. 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:45.080 It's like the bridless bones of all time. Anyway, let's 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.440 jump out of that game, and I'm happy to never 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.520 discuss that one ever again. I will say, just kick 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:54.280 a couple more like goals instead of points, because just. 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.640 To kick more goals. 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.440 Actually dusted off Twitter just to put out a tweet 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.600 on the weekend because I haven't used it in that 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.640 that long. But I said, if Collingwood could just get 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.120 forty nine more scoring shots, there are a chance. 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:07.399 Here forty nine scoring shots. 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.560 Yeah, because you're just cap kicking behind mace. So like, 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.119 kick a couple of guys, no worries. 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.200 Thanks for advice. I appreciate that. We'll take it into it. 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.919 Let's jump into the preview Round one finally here. Maybe 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.439 we're here so round zero doesn't count. As we all know, 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:30.440 no incidents carry over. Let's jump into it. Thursday night, 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.200 Carlton v. Richmond where it belongs round one at the 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.280 g Are you excited for this one? Because I feel 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.560 like now seeing round zero, it's probably going to be 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:41.440 a bit of a massacre. 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.320 I mean, I think probably it'll be interesting to see 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.960 what the line is as far as the batting line, 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.560 but yeah, I mean, I don't know. Richmond will definitely 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.679 be looking to try to, you know, make up for 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.040 being beaten up in Gold Coast, and Carleton will try 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:57.080 to continue the momentum. 0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.320 And it's it's one of those. 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.119 Big rivalries where it's two big clubs going at it, 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.240 like you just never really know exactly what's going to happen. 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:07.639 It's kind of like, you know, whenever you have a 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.000 big game, players play up to the moment at times. 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:11.360 You know, I think this is one of those games 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.920 where everyone's going to be watching first game in Melbourne. 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.880 There's going to be a massive crowd, Like it's there's 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.960 energy in the area and I think that allows players 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:21.760 to play at their best and there's no telling kind 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.239 of what will happen. You know, we'll say who we 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.800 think will probably win, Like I'll pick Carlton over this 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.840 just given you know, the experience in round zero, but 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.200 I'm not to say that Richmond's totally out of it. Mark, 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.880 there's still a lot of really good players that play 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.120 for him. I'm excited for cray Fish Old same Sam 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.720 Naysmith in the Rock. He's had a crazy experience in 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.159 his football career and you know, I've seen the journey 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.000 over the years, and to see him get a gig 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.320 at Richmond, I'm really excited for him. 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:50.320 I hope he goes really well. 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.080 But yeah, it's one of those things, a big game, 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.520 you know, you just you never know, Dusty might kick twelve. 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.439 We just go, it's just like and you know what 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:03.200 the crazy thing is, You probably go, yeah, that's possibility. Yeah, 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.159 maybe that does happen, Like so it'd be interesting. But 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.480 it's exciting to have, you know, footy back in Melbourne. 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.360 It's exciting to have you know, some of the big 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.120 clubs going at each other for around one first game 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.160 in Melbourne. We'll say that that makes sense, right, Yeah, 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.159 this is gonna the zero in round one thing. 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.400 After this we'll. 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:19.719 Be back on. 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:23.920 We won't ever mention round zero again. The one thing 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:28.360 that you know, it concerns me about Richmond is watching it. 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.040 They didn't really have that big dominant presence up for 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:36.200 that they've always had. They've got bolt who's up there, 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:40.280 and they got Bolton, Bolton and bolta Yeah maybe the 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.000 two Bolts, but they're up there. 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:44.080 Yeah. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:49.560 Just they're really wanting Lynch back, but be massive. At 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.399 the same time, Carlin's got all these inns to come in, 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.680 so they're only going to get better. But yeah, maybe 0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:56.520 you do want to get them now. Well they don't 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:59.160 have Walsh and Weatering and the like, but we will 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:03.080 jump across the front because we go MCG mcg mcg. 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:07.080 We're just hitting up the mcg Collingwood Sydney massive game 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:12.000 kicking off Friday night under lights. We've got the flag unfurling, 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.720 which is it's cool. I don't get it. 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:17.440 I don't really know how it works. You have to 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:18.359 kind of walk me through this. 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.080 Well, there's like normally like a big parade of people 0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:23.200 that kind of come in with the big carpet looking 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:25.720 flag and then they kind of just unfurl it and 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:26.879 it goes up and people like. 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.360 See and then they take the pull back down. 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.360 Yeah, and then they just take it back down. 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:35.399 I don't it must be like do people listen to 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:38.920 this and like describe it and go it's a little weird. 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.160 We always get corrected in our comments, So like if 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:45.240 you know the history behind the flag unfurling, I'm guessing 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.120 it's a history thing. It's like a you know, jack 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.040 jump is an ant someone was telling us, because we 0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.720 always say we have no idea what things are. Jack 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:54.480 jump is an ant. 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.520 We're here to teach people and to also learn. 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.000 That's a vicious bite, but I think it used to. 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:01.760 Obviously you'd have your home grounds, you don't veil the 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.440 flag out. But because the NCG is, like you know, there's 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:06.280 like seven different teams or six different teams that have 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:10.040 a home ground, you can't have that hanging up there Brisbane. 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.840 If Richmond's playing Carlton like the first round, you can't 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:15.800 have Collingwood twenty twenty three like flying in the background. 0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:16.400 That's kind of weird. 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.240 Well, you have the flag, you have more hanging up 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:19.879 in your training facility. 0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.120 We've got like banners there, and then I think we've 0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.359 got the flags in like kind of the historical area, 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.400 if that makes sense. So we've got like big banners 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.560 in our you know, I guess the room where we 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:31.800 have the weight room and the kicking ground and everything 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.040 inside Yeah, and then we've kind of got the flags. 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:35.080 I think they're in a different area. 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.480 Yeah, I'm sure we'll see the cup the couple come out. 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.119 I think people like the cup more than the flag. 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:41.520 But you say we're gonna win a flag. 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:45.040 The Cup's more of an iconic material thing for winning it. 0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:47.679 It's shiny, yeah, I and everyone drinks out of it, 0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:50.320 like everyone loves to drink out of some kind of cup, right, 0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:51.800 Like that's what you want. 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:52.240 I don't know. 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:54.439 It'll be nice, it'll be fun. I'll be really excited 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:55.800 for it. It'd be great to share it. It'd be 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:57.200 great to share with the fans. I think the fans 0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.400 will get excited to see us back at the home ground. Yeah, 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:01.920 be able to kind of you know, seal lot twenty 0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:05.280 twenty three, and then now you know we you know, 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.360 we continue on with our campaign twenty twenty four. 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:10.000 Another rivalry. I think that every team wants to have 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.399 a rivalry with Collingwood just so they can boost up 0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.760 those ticket sales. But Collingwood Sydney, last time you went 0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.959 head to head, they were bashing into Nick Dacos. So 0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.280 that'll be interesting to see if he gets the tag, 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.280 if he doesn't get the tag if he runs wild 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:27.320 and kicks gravity defying goals. But you got another exciting, 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:32.000 juicy little matchup you v. Brody Grundy in the ruck. 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:35.600 Well there'll be some help. But how do you see 0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.800 that one? Panna now? Because he's already started talking a 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.320 bit of shit on the socials. He said he's gonna rag. 0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:42.240 Oh yeah, he's gonna grab your jumper. You put a 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:43.720 little kiss after it. 0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:45.479 It's all friendly heart XX. 0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.440 Do you see it? Are you going to smash him? 0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:48.000 No? 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:48.879 It's exciting, man. 0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:51.320 It's always kind of weird to play against Brody, like 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:53.760 you're playing against friends, you know, Like I never grew 0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.920 up with people they played football with as kid. Right, 0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:58.520 some of these people have been playing with each other, 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:01.600 you know, in the you know, eighteens or whatever. It's 0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:04.399 kind of leagues throughout their life. So the people that 0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.200 have kind of moved on from the club and got 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.160 traded wherever the situation is after this is the only 0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.239 like kind of previous kind of friendship that I can 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.800 play against, which is kind of unique. Right, So Branden 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.919 A sorry Braiden Brody who went over. I play against him. 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:19.320 It's always good fun. We always have a bit of 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:22.320 a chit chatter. Obviously you cross the line, like friendship 0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:23.960 kind of goes out the door, like it is pretty 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.760 much just straight business. But we always kind of after 0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.119 the game you kind of just laugh about how, you know, 0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:32.320 different directions life has taken us and kind of how 0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.960 we end up there, and you know, we're good mates 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:36.040 and he's an absolute lunch. 0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:37.640 I'm so happy for him up in Sydney. 0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:39.720 I think he's going to have an incredible career up 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:41.880 there and it's going to be great for their clubs. 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.600 He's an incredible human on the field obviously, but like 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.600 off the field, he's amazing, Like he's the most caring 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.080 book you ever met, and I've read nothing but high 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.320 praise for him. Will I try to stick my neck 0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.080 like nea through his head? Yes, and will he try 0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.120 to do the same thing, of course, Like that's just 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:56.880 part of footy. 0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.360 But you know it's all. 0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:01.400 In that, you know, good competition and it's going to 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.360 be it's gonna be a fun litt around. Always love 0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.800 playing against them, so it's a it'll be interesting. 0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:07.360 Are you gonna let him cut you off like you 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:08.000 did to Mexico? 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:10.640 Yeah? 0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:13.000 I mean, like you can't really do anything against that. Like, 0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.520 I won't reveal exactly what I'll do, but I have 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.360 something in my mind that I'm in the middle mat 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:19.840 I might have. I might text him this week what 0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:23.160 I'll do if you tried that ship, don't do that 0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.840 to me? Yeah, but no, I think it'll be it'll 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:27.440 be a good it'll be a good matchup. I mean, 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:30.440 obviously DC and myself gone at him, and you know 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:32.440 that that rock battle is always something that we love, 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:34.680 and Brodie obviously is you know a lot of people 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.480 play a question marks as to you know, how you 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.840 go this year, and we've always kind of backed to him. 0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:40.520 I've always kind of known, you know, what he's capable 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:42.680 of and and have massive faith. 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:43.880 In what he's going to be able to produce this year. 0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:45.080 So it'll be a good little matchup. 0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.840 Now Saturday we kick things off Essendon Hawthorn. It doesn't 0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.840 matter where they are in the ladder. They hate the 0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:53.880 ship out of it each other. It's going to be 0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:56.160 a fun one to watch. We'll skip through some of these, 0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:58.479 we've got to get through them. Who you got in 0:29:58.480 --> 0:29:59.720 that game? Essendon Hawthorn. 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:03.440 I'm going to go Essendon. We've talked about Essen and 0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:05.360 all the trades and everything else. We're excited to kind 0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:06.720 of see where they're going to go for the year. 0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:09.720 Hawthorn young team they're going to be. It's still be 0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.080 a good game, but I think Essen will definitely get 0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:12.600 the chocolates. 0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.240 How's this for like a bit of you know, I'm 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.920 going to say some doomsday stuff right here, this Essendon 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:21.640 Hawthorne game. If Essendon don't win this one, there's a 0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:25.120 massive chance they could be and seven. What was that? 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.440 If you look at their fixture, they have a rough 0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.440 one and if you can't be beaten Hawthorn first up, 0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:35.120 it doesn't get any easier for him from then on out. 0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:36.360 Oh interesting. 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.760 I don't envy them, but it's a hard one because 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.480 you don't we have no idea how to gauge how 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.400 good they're going to be. They got in you know, 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.600 Ben Mackay, they got in Dursmar, they got in Gresham, 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:52.280 they got in Goldstein, so that could just top up 0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.600 their club and they could be really good. So it's 0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:56.640 it's one of those ones. They could be Owen set 0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.760 but wait and see, isn't it and smash Hawthorn. But 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.840 it's round one. We get to see where all these 0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:05.800 teams are at GWS versus North Melbourne Football Club up 0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:08.360 at enng Stadium. 0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.040 A rough game for North Melbourne if we're. 0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:13.200 Doing the tips. Yeah, I can't see North really firing 0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:13.760 a shot. 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:18.760 But hopefully North what they call North ball, northball, northball, northball. 0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.240 They never know, maybe northball will work at the ground. 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:21.680 Who knows. 0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.280 I would love to see North just turn it around 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:27.600 and come out and just start smashing them. But I don't. 0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:30.320 Do you think North will finish in the top twelve 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:30.760 this year? 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:34.000 No, but it's not a that's not a reflection direct. 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:35.120 Cause a lot of people, some people are having them 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:39.800 around that twelve mark. It's yeah, we'll learn. Like obviously 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.040 over the weekend we'll see a you know, first kind 0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:43.680 of proper hit up for them for the year with 0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.000 with points on the line. So I'll be I'll be 0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:47.840 very interesting to see how it kind of goes and see, 0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:50.479 you know, obviously I kind of think Jobs is going 0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.360 to take this one. But yeah, I think North Melbourn 0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:55.360 like it'll be a showing for them to just have 0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.760 an absolute crack and just say let's let's just how 0:31:57.800 --> 0:31:58.000 we go. 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.320 They have to get good at some point they have 0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.320 to start turning it around at some point. The problem 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.480 is I look at the fixture, I look at the teams, 0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.040 and they're just they're all good. They're all good. I 0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:13.080 probably just got West Coast finishing last personally. Yeah, but yeah, 0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:15.320 I don't Outside of that, I don't know who they 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.920 go past. But let's jump into the next one. Because 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.440 Geelong Saint Kilda in Geelong. 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.640 Yeah, that's an absolute cracker GMHBA Stadium. 0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:25.440 Starting off quick and another one of those ones where 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:26.920 it's like a Geelong going to be good or not, 0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.360 Saint's going to be good or not. It's question marks 0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:33.520 all around them. It has gone past Geelong. Are they 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.640 going to start dipping or are they just topped up 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:36.280 and ready to go? 0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.960 Well, I feel like we keep saying this though every 0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.360 single year. We kind of keep saying this, they getting older, 0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:43.960 they getting older, they getting older. And then you're like, well, 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.160 Tomahawk might kick five, you know, Patrick Dangsfield might have 0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.600 thirty in the middle on Jerremy twenty clearances, Like Jeremy 0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:53.280 Caeron could just go off and he might take ten 0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.680 contested marks in the back line and somehow still kick five. 0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:56.720 Goals in the front line. 0:32:56.640 --> 0:33:00.800 Like there's there's a lot of different points of attack 0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.640 I feel like that Geelong has and the biggest thing 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:04.920 is just staying healthy with a lot of it. 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:05.320 I think. 0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:07.640 So if they can get a full season healthy, I 0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:09.200 think they'll be all right. And I think there's all 0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:10.800 this kind of chat around them and how they're going 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:12.320 to go and what's going to happen in the future 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.200 and all that, Like you shut that up if you 0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:18.040 can stay healthy. Obviously that's a lot easier said than done. 0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.920 But yeah, it'll be it'll be interesting to see how 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.440 that because Saint killed on the other side. Yeah, I 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.440 made the eight last year and you know finished probably 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:28.320 a tick you know for them, like you know they 0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:31.560 finished at the top eight. And yeah, I think it's 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:33.280 going to be a juicy little match up them having 0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.800 to play away at gm HbA Stadium and see. 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:37.160 How Geelong kind of goes about it. 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:37.760 Who do you have? 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:39.760 I'll go Geelong on this one. 0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:41.800 I think they play well at home, different style of 0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:45.680 stadium and yeah, I don't know. I just I struggled 0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:49.440 to tip Geelong against them. Whenever they play a home game. 0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:51.440 There's something about them a home I think they just 0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.760 enjoy you know, that's just short drive for them where 0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:55.160 they're having to drive Melbourne. 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:56.080 And that's all they have to do. They just have 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.480 to win their home games and bang their back into finals. 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:02.720 I'm just going to out of you know, pointed, I'm 0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:04.720 going to say something. I want them to have a 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.200 bit of energy, come out strong, hit the ground running. 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.799 It's a litmus test for where they're at. It's going 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.640 to be interesting Geelong. You know, they obviously started slow 0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:18.000 last year, so this home game and that they only 0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:20.960 had the practice game at the in Geelong the other week, 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.640 so that they haven't had to travel around in the 0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.560 preseason or anything. So they should be fresh and ready 0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:28.520 to rock. So if Saints can get over a big 0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:31.399 tick for them. First up, let's jump into Gold Coast 0:34:31.600 --> 0:34:34.720 Verse Adelaide at People First Stadium, which if you don't know. 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.120 I love that name, People's First. 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:41.560 You know it's in the Gold Coast. If you didn't know, 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.080 it's Metroc it was the old the new met old 0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:48.440 metric on whatever you say. But Gold Coast Adelaide, talk about. 0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.239 Mate, this is the game of the round. 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:52.960 I think this outside of obviously, like I always going 0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:54.960 to say, our games again of around, but like this 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.279 is the game outside of ours. I'm looking forward to 0:34:57.320 --> 0:35:00.920 watching my boys, the Suns against Later's got a lot 0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.319 of hype this year. There's a lot of hype and 0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:06.279 they are an exciting group. It's going to be an 0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:10.280 absolute bloodbath at Gold Coast, absolute bloodbath. 0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:13.560 Blood be how many rally you got? How many clearances 0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:14.080 does he get? 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.680 Rally? Matthew Cow I'll go fifteen. 0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:20.200 I thought you're gonna say fifty fifteen rally. 0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:22.719 O'Brien's good, right, Yeah, tough to go against them and 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:23.839 be able to get on the hit outs, I think 0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:28.160 so ferocious. No, I'll say that. I think my tip 0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:32.399 would be Gold Coast. I know it's a little bit controversial, 0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:36.400 but them at home. I think the Homes Stadium definitely helps. 0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.600 And you know there are people first kind of club. 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:41.880 I want to say Gold Coast because I want to 0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:42.719 buy into the hut. 0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.120 I know, buy into the Gold Coast Signs man, buy 0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.239 the McDonald's T shirt and just get into it. I'm 0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:50.160 a wear a Gold Coast Signs T shirt into this 0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:51.239 podcast one day. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.120 Have we done our top eight because I reckon it's 0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:53.759 just a top ten. 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.719 Yeah, it's the top eighteen, I'd say hard to pick. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.920 We jump into Sunday where we got Melbourne versus the Bulldog. 0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:05.120 Oh my goodness, every matchup is just juicy question marksk 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:09.240 Law is Melbourne good? Donna? Is are the Bulldogs good? Donna? 0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:14.720 Couldn't tell you? Could not tell you. I feel like inconsistent. 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:15.400 Bulldogs are Melbourne. 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:18.480 But I'm just saying that early. But like Bulldogs, I 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.239 was like, oh, they're getting flogged by Hawthorne in the 0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:22.920 first half of the Pracckic game and then they end 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:26.239 up starching them and I feel like their best is 0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.439 obviously great, very good, but then we don't always see 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:29.839 their best. 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:30.800 Yeah, it'd be interesting. 0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:32.680 I mean, like round zero with Melbourne, they'd be pretty 0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:35.360 frustrated with losing, you know, and the opening round. 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.319 But here we all know Melbourne's a good team. 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.600 Melbourne is a team that just consistently is up in 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:44.360 the top eight, consistently is able to get the finals. 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:49.680 And I've got them beating the Western Bulldogs. It could 0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:51.360 go either way again on this one, like this is 0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:53.799 we talk about the latter being so even this year, 0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:56.560 I feel like every single matchup you're not convinced one 0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:58.600 hundred percent that someone's definitely going to get over the 0:36:58.600 --> 0:36:59.479 line against someone else. 0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:01.000 The Western Bulldogs. 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.120 They've got a great midfield also, you know, so it's 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.320 going to be some big battle in there with BoNT 0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:08.400 and the Troca and Oliver and then Gone and you 0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:12.120 know you've got this big kind of you know, not rivalry, 0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:14.239 but like just these big boys in the middle that 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:15.560 are going to go at it and it's going to 0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:17.440 be you know, as a midfielder, I know it's going 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:18.120 to go in the midfield. 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.160 I love these little matchups, Love these little matchups. 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.400 I don't know who I'm tipping. I got to say Melbourne. 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:26.279 I feel like Melbourne. But if you know, Bulldogs rock 0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:29.080 up at their best, they could easily win this game. 0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:33.160 Let's jump into Port West Coast. Let's jump out of 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:35.520 Port West Coast because that's how boring this game is 0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:39.320 going to be. Port Domination Sea West Coast, Port Adelaide. 0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:40.160 It's in Adelaide. 0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:42.440 Yeah, in Adelaide, Yeah, I think Port. 0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:48.040 Yeah, bold bold prediction there. Mason free O versus Brisbane 0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:52.200 Optis Stadium makes it a bit more difficult to tip, 0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:53.279 or does it. 0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:57.000 I've got Brisbane one of this one Brisbane will definitely 0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.959 come back after you know, the Carlton game, losing by point, 0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:03.080 it would not sit right with them and they go 0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:04.880 back and review that second half and be wanting to 0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:07.520 start off strong and Freemantle at home. 0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:09.479 You know, it's a that's a positive form. 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:11.440 But I think Brisbane being the team they are and 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.160 the caliber of people are having that that that team 0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:16.520 is going to be tough to beat them. And I've 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.239 got them tip tipping them over Freemantle out there in 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:22.719 Perth at Opti Stadium. 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.480 God, I want Freo to win for Freo's sake, but 0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.919 I don't think they're going. Brisbane are just that good 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:29.040 of it. 0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:30.520 They're a very good team. 0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:32.920 So yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.640 can read too much into it if Freo loses, although 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:38.719 it is a home game. Brisbane are just a very 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:39.480 good team. 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:43.920 So yeah, I don't. Yeah, We've said this before, like Perth. 0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:49.920 Might be rough this year, Frio, It's like where do 0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:51.759 you go? Where do you go? It's going to be 0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:54.600 like if they don't start off semi well, it's going 0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.080 to be a very long year, a lot of pressure 0:38:57.080 --> 0:39:01.240 to come. But that's the preview for round one mass. 0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:01.640 That is it. 0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:05.680 It's look, it's been a bit of a it's been 0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.160 a bit of a podcast brand. Let's be honest with ourselves, 0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:10.279 it's been it's been a big day. It's been a 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:13.440 big day. It's been annoying to deal with the times, 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.680 but we've got through it. And like you know, this 0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:18.080 is you probably have a lot of people listening in 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.360 right now that maybe you haven't heard the show before, 0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:23.800 maybe don't know as much about it. Obviously with the 0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:25.960 situation that's happening over the week, there's enough credit or 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:29.120 enough stuff that's kind of been covered on it. Hopefully 0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:32.000 there's a bit of clarity now around that. But yeah, 0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:35.000 this is a podcast where we try to preach positive things. Yeah, 0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:36.560 we try to talk about positive things. We try to 0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:38.160 have a good time with it. Obviously it's a bit 0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.839 of a you know, just a frustrating week, I guess 0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:44.239 you could say. But yeah, it's we're all about positivity 0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:46.640 on this podcast. We're all about talking about footy, having 0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.000 a good laugh and join ourselves with it and you know, 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.879 bringing a community along that enjoys it too. So whether 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:53.839 you're a Collingwood fan with you're a Brisbane fan, whether 0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:56.000 you're a Freemont fan, whatever fan you are of the 0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:59.000 club that you support. You know, we're here to entertain you. 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.000 We're here to have a good time, and you know, 0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:03.320 hopefully you provide a bit of context some stuff. 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.759 I apologize if you are a Freeo fan, because I've 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:09.600 gone pretty hard on free But I'm sticking there because 0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.960 my housemates free I love watching them, watch them every 0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:12.439 single week. 0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:13.359 Carlo a big fan. 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:15.600 I'm riding the highs and lows with you, but yeah, 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:16.399 it is good. 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:18.239 Before we leave that, I'll like to do a little 0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.600 bit closing comments. Maybe something from your life that's happened, 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:24.359 that's you know, going on, and I'm happy to start 0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:25.759 this off. I'll let you have a bit of a think. 0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:28.759 I like to do something right. You look after yourself right. 0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:30.279 We talk about like what it be, mental health, we 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.320 talk about physical health, all these kind of things. Recently, 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.200 I had a piece cut out of me actually, and 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:37.680 it was one of those things you'd go to the 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:39.400 dermatologist and get it cut out of you. And that 0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.799 was one of those wake up calls in life. I 0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.879 think about how important it is, especially going into summer. 0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.240 Obviously we're going out of it, but like slipstop slap, 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:50.920 as Australians would say, how important sunscreen is important to 0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:53.120 be able to do that and look after your body. 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:55.080 You only have one of them. It was a bit 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:56.879 of a I guess, a bit of a humbling moment 0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:58.600 to be like, oh, no, matter what happens with it. 0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:00.200 And I haven't got the results back or anything on 0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:03.000 those lines, but it is a gentle reminder of how 0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:05.880 important sunscreen is whenever you go outside. So that's my 0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:09.160 little closing comment. If you've got kids, yourself, parents, where 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.920 it is slipsop slap, boys and girls and gentlemen and 0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:16.120 ladies out there and everyone else, and yeah, look after yourself. 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:17.880 You only get one body to live with, so make 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:18.440 the most of it. 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:20.440 And it's bloody hot out there, so hot. 0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:22.680 Forty degrees the other day I didn't experience. I was 0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:24.680 in Sydney, but terrible. 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.960 They slid back the summer. They slid it back. I 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:29.680 don't know who they are, but they slid it back. 0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:34.360 That's a good point, Mace. I will say, summer hot. Yeah, 0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:40.360 I'd be investing stocks into Messina ice creams, Messina caramel 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:44.120 white chalk at Messina. And then I change up my 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.600 second flavor, because I get a two scoop cup. Then 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:50.440 I get like a milk chok fudge. Yeah, peanut fudge. 0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:52.279 Thing, peanut butter chock fudge. Not that I would. 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:55.040 Now I've knocks my socks off, and you hit it 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:57.200 with the double combo.
