WEBVTT - Cox Vs Grundy Moment 😂 Controversial Decision 🤔 Mac's Winner 🤯

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Legends, Welcome back to The Mason Cox Show. Big episode. Today,

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about show voting, yay or nay. We're

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna go into that. There's a lot of comebacks this

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>week too. Is this one of the craziest seasons yet?

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not too sure. I thought Carlton was on the

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>top two. Like last week it's insane and last we

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about that Collingwood versus Sydney game and

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>dissect a bit of what happened. There's a lot in

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>this episode, so settle in because we're starting the podcast now.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, legend, it is a big podcast. We're gonna

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>get straight into this one. Welcome Brandon.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I get as I want to jump into my

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>clanger because it's a beautiful I want to say. Every

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>team in the AFL is getting the clang this week

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>because no one wants to win the flag.

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, come on, not one.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Team in this competition wants to win the flag because

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>no one is willing to step up and grab it.

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>At the moment, we're looking at someone like a GWS.

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Port's going okay, but you know, like their coaches

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>were going to get sacked half way through the year.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Now we're looking at the teams that were flying and

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>they're crap. They're all out of the eight. Collingwood, Essendon

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and Carlton were top four a few weeks ago. Now

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>where are they. We're looking at Freo. Freo could have

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 2>been second thirty times this year and now I know

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>there's not even thirty rounds in it. And that's how

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>crap they've managed to be. I just don't understand it.

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>People are saying how exciting the year is and how

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>exciting the season is, but it's not for any good reason.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Every team is falling down. We're seeing like the least

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>clut Essendon. They go and do a massive comeback last week.

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>And I know if you, if you're an Essendon fan,

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I gave you shit last week and there's going to

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>be a heap more heaped on you this week because

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>bloody how you had a crappy game on the weekend

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 2>And crap is going to be a word I use

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot in this podcast. But you go out, you

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>come back and you beat Freo last week, We're oh, yeah,

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>we're still a chance for finals, and then you kick

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>one nine in the last quarter to lose by a

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>point after the siren. Oh my goodness, talk about whatever.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>The opposite of clutches, they're the break, they're the break.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>There's the accelerator, there's the clutch, and then there's the break.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>All these teams are just falling off, choking, fumbling the bag.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to win the Grand Final this year.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 2>We should just call it off. We should call it off.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Sydney has just scraped through on the top of the

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>ladder and they've been losing for the last month.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Are you okay?

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I just grab what's the point of this? What are

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we doing? Why are we here? Go grab a couple

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>of sandful teams, a couple of waffle sides and see

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>if they want it.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what is coming in.

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Tachy could come in and sweep this.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's good to see you're having a great day, Brandon.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And all these comebacks and stuff, there's like fumbling the bag.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Inside of fumbling the bag. It's like these teams don't

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 2>want to win the game, but they're also losing from

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty points up.

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a very unpredictable year, very unpredictable year.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Crap year, mates, But we sit here and we wait

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 2>till finals and hope that it all turns around in finals,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>because you look at finals and you look at the

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.839
<v Speaker 2>teams that are in there, and you go, I don't

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>know who's going to take this thing, but hopefully, hopefully

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>it works out for the best. I hope they all

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>get it together all in finals and they all stand up,

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>because they're all falling over at the moment.

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 1>If you're kicking one to nine and a quarter in finals,

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>how are you feeling?

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my, imagine that. I imagine that I couldn't contain

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>myself to my seat. I would have to you the

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>place I don't have to go and do something. But yeah,

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I feel like some fans we give

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>them stick for the other week for booing or whatever.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I think booing is, Like that's showing a fair amount

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of restraints. Like how angry I would be kicking one

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>to nine and going down by the OPO team kicking

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>two straight goals one after the siren.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I loved Max Skull. I'm I'm off for as a

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Gold Coast guy. I just I love it.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what he did and he kicked four four

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>for the game.

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely love to talk.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>About clutch, Big Mac, the big Fella.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Well, that's great. Great to know your clanger is

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>essentially everyone in the IFL. You're loving the season so far,

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it's been great. I'm assuming a lot of your multis

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>have lost. I'm assuming there's some financial for months.

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been putting them on.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, good, good guy. It's that's that's a great start.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm all going to go with My klanger is not

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be IFL. It's actually gonna be related to

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics. Now in the Olympics all closing ceremonial obviously

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the any of this week, and France had some incredible opportunities.

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's in Paris, it's in their big, big city

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>there in Paris, and they had men's basketball, they had

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>women's basketball, they had the break dancing, which they brought in.

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>They decided to say, you know what, we're pretty good

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>at this. We're going to actually bring the sport into

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics so we can guarantee your gold. And then

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>they all so had men's soccer, so four of like

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the big team sports that everyone watches, they have like

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>very good players and all those different events. They go

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>to the Grand Final or the final game of all

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of them. In all four of those they lose, they

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>get silver's in. They had a chance to just go

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>out on a high out in one of any of

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 1>those four, and they just like you would say, fumbled

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the bag. Yeah, absolutely fumbled the bag. For me, Oh,

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you can't pick a sport.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>It's like when it comes to Australia in a couple

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>of Olympics time, if we put afl in there and

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>they stitched us up, Bloody Barly beats us.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Or something.

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Goes yea, they live playing for him. But yeah, I

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know. You can't bring in your own sport. And

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>while we're on it, the soccer, what's the point of

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>that in the Olympics because it's not all the big

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>stars are in there. It's like the under twenty ones

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>men's B reserve team, like.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>A few stars. There's a few stars, but.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>There's like it's not you're not watching like you know.

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>It's the World Cups. They're pinnacle. I do understand that. Yeah,

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like the X Games with the skateboarders.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I think X Games is probably a bit more than

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>gold medals. But anyway, that's mine. France, your suck.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Most people can get around France. We'll get around that.

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's jump into some results. Bad one off the top

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Friday Night forty is Sydney getting the job done over Collingwood.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>We will talk talk about that later, dissected deep dive

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>in it. Just live through the pain. Brisbane. Harrow in

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the booth loves this one. Brisbane getting done at home. GWS,

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>He's given us the finger behind the scenes. North Melbourne,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, talk about fumbling the bag, but no

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>one really caring. North lost to West Coast in tazzy

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>talk about the most irrelevant thing you've ever heard in

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 2>your life. Fremantle dropped another one at home, this time

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>against the geriatric Geelong team over there. Essendon. I'm just

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>so sorry to all the Essendon supporters out there because

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be another twenty years. Gold Coast get

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 2>their first away win for the year.

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Huge. You did say it was an important one for us.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I think gold Coast just waited until like this has

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 2>got a Dimmer's got to just be kicking himself in

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the shins because it's like, oh, when can we not

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>make finals? All right? Now? Yeah, okay, now we'll win

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>an away game. Like do it when it matters anyway. Melbourne,

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, kick them. There's fifty one to fifty three,

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>go down to Port Adelaide. Not a very exciting shoot

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>out that one.

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Carlton, Oh, Carlton, this was wild and it's some die

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>or circumstances over there.

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Carlton absolutely flogged by eighty odd points against Hawthorne Hawk

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>ball up and about. They replaced them in the top eight,

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Carlton out of the top eight. They were second. The

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 2>other way. Richmond getting flogged by Saint Kilda. We all

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>know they've knocked off, which is fine. It's a long

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>year knockoff. You just recover Adelaide getting the job done

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>over Western Bulldogs. It's not like expect that one. It's

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>not like a crazy result because Adelaide's been good this year.

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just we thought Western Bulldogs were on a tear.

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's a costly little speed bump in the season.

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>It was my cock clock of the wig last week.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>So you're welcome everyone out there.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>What did I I don't even remember what I said,

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>but it would have been something good.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Probably. Yeah, let's get into the hot topics. What do

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you got for us? Oh?

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Is this season the wildest end or slash shitt at

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 2>season we've ever seen in footy. I'll let you.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Just optimism here. This season is wild. I think ever

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>since I've come to this country ten years ago, this

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>has been the closest I've seen it for the whole

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>time I've been here. Like it's just to see, like

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you said, like Carlton was too, I feel like a

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.079
<v Speaker 1>week ago and now they're out of the eight and

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>then you're looking at other teams that around the virgin

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Eston you know, there they're not there, then there they're

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>not there. And at the beginning of the year they

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>were like pretty much a lock. People were saying of

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like top eight were fine making finals, and now people

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>are going, I don't know, I don't know. It is

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>such an interesting and I'm like, if you just sit

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>there and say, like, you know, out of the top

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>eight teams right now, you know, obviously we hope that

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Collingwood makes into the eight mex Finals. If you were

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>to take us out of there, if I were to say,

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>who's going to win besides us, like I have no idea.

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>There is not a clear cut favorite like the Sydney

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>at the top. They've lost quite a few games as

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of very sense. So you want to have form gone

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>in the finals. What's what's got on.

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Like power rankings? If you had like a top five,

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go top five power rankings right now, you've got

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to take Collingwood out of it, which is going to

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>be hard if you take them out of it. But

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>let's take Collingwood out of it, and you've got to

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>pick top five.

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Cheez. I would say Brisbane's probably one at the moment.

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Now that's a controversial one because.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 2>They GWS, who's on a massive.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Straight they did. I put GWS at two. But the

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>thing is WS like they have to play at mcg

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 1>which is an interesting the pretty good travel team, I

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>will say, But like I think they're Yeah, they've they've

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>lost a few times in finals, you know, and like

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you kind of you look at like Geelong Geelong. I

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>almost put like Geelong kind of even with them because

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>they kind of got the experience of being able to

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>play on the big stage and in finals. So I

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>think those are kind of like the teams I'm looking

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>up there, probably the top four there and yeah maybe

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that order maybe if you shifted around, But I think

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>those are the ones you're looking at going Port Adelaide too.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I got adelet's port out, let's go to be in there.

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>What about Hawthorn.

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>They look Hawthorns the most probably momentum team right now

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you can say that comfortably, right.

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well they're beating good teams by big margins.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you'll you'll be interested to find out if

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain point where their youth becomes a little

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>bit detrimental. And you wonder if a team like Geelong

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 1>plays them in the finals or something like that, and

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you go, Okay, Gelong's been here before. I understands the experience,

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>understands what to expect and uses that to the advantage.

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 1>I think hawkball's just wild at the moment, Like it's

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 1>not the score of Carlton. Over the weekend, like I was,

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of went to go see a friend on

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Saturday for lunch with one of my mates and he

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.959
<v Speaker 1>he's like sitting there. I got to his place and

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I was riding my bike. I totally messed it up

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and I had to ride my bike through the MCG

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>and it was literally probably fifteen twenty minutes before the

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>game started. So you can imagine me in about fifty

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to sixty thousand, like Carlton fans going there, and I'm

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>just sitting there swerving in and out of these Carlton

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>fans and making double looks. Gone like shit, they're gone.

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>If you might go back to America, yeh, brick like

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it was just the worst route I probably could have taken. Yeah,

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and I stuck to it. I fought the fought the

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>season Carlton fans. I got to my destination. But yeah,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it's Jesus an interesting one. It is one of the

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>craziest seasons. I honestly have no idea how it's going

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to finish, which makes it I think great for the AFL.

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Probably not great for their bank account, but great for

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the AFL in that sense to have. You know, I

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>think I was looking at the top eight and there's

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>quite a few other kind of teams that are outside

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of Melbourne that they probably want to try to promote,

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Like you look at Sydney Port, Adelaide, j w as

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>these that they've camp has been, you know, teams they

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>want to kind of show that their expansion through the

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>rest of the country is successful.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a wild result because like if

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 2>you look at the combinations as it stands as the

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 2>top eight stands right now, which is probably not how

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 2>it's going to finish. There's some shocking combos in there

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 2>for attendance for like a prelim or a Grand Final.

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I don't know, I don't know if they're

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>happy or upset they get to grow the game outside

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>of Victoria because there's not a lot of like great

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Victorian representation in there, but something like a Sydney GWS

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Granny they would probably be happy with to grow it

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 2>up there. I can't imagine like a Port GWS or

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 2>like a Port Hawthorne or something would be doing good numbers.

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>But I will see how so man time will tell, We'll.

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 2>See how it goes. This weekend was the weekend of

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the comeback and we've been seeing it a lot, but

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of teams coming from behind. We saw Brisbane

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 2>get run over by GWS they were up by five goals.

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the Collingwood game. There was a lot of these

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>comeback wins by massive margins, big five six goal margins

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>over the past few weeks. Why are we seeing more

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and more of this in the game.

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I think probably since the six six to six change.

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>You can kind of see it because it's a lot

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>of it's like center balance momentum, Like if you can

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>gain territory from center bounce very quickly and you kind

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of get on top of that area for a chunk

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of time, it just allows you to gain territories so quickly.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And then because it's even numbers, you kind of have

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that that chance of being able to score pretty quickly.

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 1>So like back in the day, you used to just

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>flood ten people in the back lines, like well, good luck.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 1>It's almost impossible to try to get a decent kick

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of the ball with you that many people around you.

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.079
<v Speaker 1>But now I feel like if you score one and

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.599
<v Speaker 1>then you get out of the center butts again, you

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>can get like two, three pretty quickly, and it just

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of gives you the opportunity where back in the

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>day it was like you just kind of flood people

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>behind and the more the game is like stopped and stuff,

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the more people they kind of put behind the ball,

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and the harder it is to actually score. So I

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>think once you kind of have that stop age, you

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>go six x' six, and it's like if you don't

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>score bang right after that, then might slow down the

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>pace a bit. But these teams are going like bang score,

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>bang score, bank score. It's because they're getting out of

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the center balance and getting into the forward line with

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess a better chance of scoring with less defenders

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>there than whenever a team you know, is trying to

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>flood back flood back numbers. So I think that's the

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>reason why. Obviously over the weekend we kind of felt

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that and weren't able to get over the line. But

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it lasts from exciting football, I think, which is a

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>good thing but frustrating for me at the moment.

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think Sydney are one of the best at it.

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>They got so many dynamic midfielders that are just brute

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>force and pace. Well we talk about like Warner and

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Heeny and these guys who had massive last quarters for Sydney. Yeah,

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and it feels like a lot of the stars like

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Zach Butters and Horny Frank, like some of those port

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 2>players like they stick in my mind. A lot of

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>these players straight from the rock tap, coming straight out

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of the front of stoppage and can just like pump

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 2>it in. It's yeah. That and I feel like the

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>stand rule has just put so much speed on the game.

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>So you've got to be able to run out games teams,

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 2>can you know. I thought Collingwood on the weekend really

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 2>busted us early to put on that pressure, and as

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the game went on, I was like, like, I hope

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 2>they can maintain it throughout the whole game.

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you are just absolutely gassed or what,

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>but it like we just see it more and more

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and more if you're under the pump later.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>In games, like there's just to turn the momentum now, yeah,

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it really is. The best you can do is mostly

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>is just stim it and then try to change it

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>in your direction. But it's not like I don't feel

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like your team scores four and then it's like the

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>other team scores four again against right up after them,

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>right Like it's kind of for maybe one or two

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and then one, then one or two. It's not like

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>four goals, four goals, five goals, five goals. It's yeah too,

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you're kicking a bunch and the other team's not kicking macho,

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you're somewhat even pale.

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And yeah, that's why if Carlton could somehow make finals. Now,

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 2>if they rally and win these last two, make it

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 2>back in there. As we saw last year. It just

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>they can be out of it and then their fans,

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the cheer, the roar of the Carlton fans can just

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>bring them straight back into it. We saw it with

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Collingwood moving on though, because there's a lot of old

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>dogs getting around the competition playing some really good footy

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>at the moment. And we see games increasing overall, big numbers,

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of two hundred and fifty game celebration, Pendal's

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 2>four hundred game celebration. Is the age of players on

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>average just going to keep increasing over time?

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's I don't think just in the AFL,

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I think in support in general. Yeah, I mean, I

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>think you look at the availability of kind of a

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and the knowledge that we're getting around bodies and how

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to kind of you know, have supplements to help you

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, with your aches and pains and

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Like there's so much I think, like

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.719
<v Speaker 1>medically we've been able to further ourselves. There's a society

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and anything else to be able to help people, you know,

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 1>live longer. I think, like just a general, like the

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>life expectancy of people is actually longer and longer and

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>longer every year ago, So I think it's kind of

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>similar and probably aligns with you know, people's athletic you know,

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>journeys and how long that lasts. So yeah, I think

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it would be pretty normal to be seeing people, you know,

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>playing three hundred games in a career. A lot of

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to a little like quite a bit

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of luck and like injuries that are long term, like

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 1>some people have like an ACL or you know, other

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>people just have. Yeah, there's there's some that you know,

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>like just don't get injured, and there's some people that

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 1>just can't not get injured. Right. I think of like

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>so many people that I've known throughout my career. It's

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 1>like you hear about all the great stories, right, you

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>hear about all the people that play the Moliple games,

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, all the milestones and stuff. But every

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 1>one of those, there's probably twenty people that just like

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>never got a good run at it and just kept

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 1>getting injuries at the wrong time or whatever it was,

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.879
<v Speaker 1>or maybe wasn't under the coaching staff or whatever it

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>may be. And for every one successful one, there's probably

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty that just don't really pay out.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the professionalism of the kids coming through

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 2>now is like next level because you think of back

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>when Pendles first started in the game, kids coming through

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>weren't prepared for it at all. I remember Tim Burman,

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 2>form a teammate of yours, when they would take the

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 2>draftees to the supermarket to grab They said, you go

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.679
<v Speaker 2>out there and grab what you think is a good, responsible,

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 2>nutritious meal and then we'll course correct. And he came

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 2>back with like a full trolley full of like fiery

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Cheetos and sufdern And it's like howiry cheetahs that bar

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 2>off And it's just like, yeah, I feel like kids

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 2>now are coming in so well, I reckon there'll be

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a lag period from like Pendle's time,

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 2>and then as as these kids come in and they're

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>just you know, rare and to go, the same players

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 2>hit the scene like and playing great Foot in year

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 2>one and two, like.

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>There's not there's there's less people that can just get

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>away with, you know, doing the minimum like it is

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is getting to that point where if you're not fully

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 1>like committed to it, you're just gonna get spat out

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>of the system. Whereas like back in the day, I

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like if you're just that good of a talent

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you can just kind of get by with it probably yeah,

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 1>but nowadays with you know, well you said, like everyone

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's able to kind of get these one percents from

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, different things that now are able to have

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.439
<v Speaker 1>knowledge of They're able to extend their you know, their

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>lifetime in the league and you know, maybe be able

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>to jump over the guys that are just naturally gifted.

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Talking about kids, I want to speak about taunting and

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 2>show voting in the AFL. I for one love it.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not only the kids. We see a lot of

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Sam Draper did the hand in the Talker's man, the

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Turkish Man. There was I think there was like three

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 2>of them over the course of the weekend. Even Pendals,

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 2>old dog Pendals is doing a little taunts and.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>High school team coaching I think or whatever.

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 2>But it's like more and more is coming into the AFL.

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's crazy, but it's awesome that the kids

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 2>feel comfortable to do it, like from game one, like

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to see him out there, like just bringing excitement to

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.360
<v Speaker 2>the game. Do you reckon? Do you reckon? The taunting

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and the showboating post goal and all that stuff. We'll

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 2>only see more and more of it as as we

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>go along. It seems very American culture driven.

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I definitely do. I think the AFL

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>probably you know, enjoys it, but the top dogs of

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the AFL probably don't. I think there's like like, at

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, we are entertainers. We got

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>there to entertain people, and like that is part of entertainment.

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Is like doing things that are different outside of just

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the normal like kicking a go walk back to center bouts, right, Like,

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I just think there's so much more and there's so

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>much passion with the players and involved, and it just

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>adds to the game, like it adds to it. Like

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people look at Guinea right

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:10.719
<v Speaker 1>and they go, oh, well, you know, I know who

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Jack Inovan is, And I'm like, do you know them

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>because of the way it plays, are because of the

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>aura that is Jack in it. And I think people

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>probably don't really realize that, like they follow him because

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of the aura that he is. And I'm all formal.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like it just adds to the whole experience.

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you get taunted every single game over the

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>fence and it's like, why can't you give it back?

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I just don't as long as it's within like

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>societal yeah, okayness whenever it comes to these things, right,

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>there's obviously things you can't say and do, but there's

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>so much that goes on beyond the fence, and you're

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and you're supposed to just cop it and

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 1>just sit there in your box and not do anything.

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, no, I can give it back to him,

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>like they're gonna be assholes, like screw it stuff, give

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it back to it. Yeah.

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it really speaks to the kids watching the game.

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 2>They love it, they know it, they learn it from school,

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>they have access to social media where they see it

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>every day. So I feel like it'll it'll be a

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 2>chance to grow the game. You speak about Jack Ginevan

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.479
<v Speaker 2>and knowing him outside of footy, there's people that wouldn't

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>watch footy and would know Jack Ginevan. There's people that

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>are outside footy and would know Bailey Smith like that.

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a great way to make the AFL superstars even

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>bigger and like broader than just the game of AFL.

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think, like Durzma from likes like bonn Era, Yeah,

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>like there's not detrimental to anyone. There's nothing to doing else,

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know who celebration that is, Yeah, and that's cool.

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>It's cool to have something that's like purely specific to you,

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I think people do the USA chance. It's like

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that's very specific to myself. And like someone that goes

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to a game is going to go, oh, like he

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>must have kicked the goal because they're chanting that, or

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 1>like that must have been Dursmo because he did there

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>like bown Era, right, Like it's kind of cool to

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 1>have like individual uniqueness about each player that's playing out there,

0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully the AFL continues to encourage it.

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, speaking about the AFL, we did talk about Malais

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 2>last week, and we weren't big on the promotion of

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 2>them after the fact because the fine system is brought

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 2>in to d incentivized players from getting into malas. Now,

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 2>there was another big one on the weekend, A great one,

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 2>A juicy one, juicy one. I know it was juicy

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>because it was up there on the AFL website, so

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I watched it because I missed it in the game,

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 2>so I got to watch it on the website and

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 2>then I just went around Molven just shaking people and

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 2>jumper punching them.

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't.

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do that. I haven't taken it off into

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>everyday life. But you come from a lot of big

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>fins dished out, So forty two and a half thousand dollars.

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>In fines, forty two and a half thousand dollars.

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 2>That'll come down to a nice small, neat little number

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven thousand, five hundred dollars if they all played guilty.

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 2>So obviously another big kickback. But we did ask where

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the money goes, because you know, we assume it goes

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 2>straight to the Christmas party. To have my doubts, but

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 2>there was an article written a couple of weeks ago

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>on the AFL website that did say that all fines

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 2>donations to the AFL, and they're given to concussion research

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>on behalf of the players. So to look after yourself,

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.880
<v Speaker 2>you're doing your own concussion research by donating money back

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>into concussion research off the fine.

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I would love to know how much they're donating the

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>concussion research.

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Last year it was over two hundred thousand dollars.

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Now, according to this we're donating forty two and a

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>half thousand dollars in one round that might just be

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>us covering their bill.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I wonder how much they need. It's one

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of those like when you're like, order, who's.

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 1>More invested technically? If you're taking fines from us and

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>putting in towards it, who's more invested in concussions?

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Go, I watch your budget for this, and it's like, oh,

0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 2>we've got two hundred thousand. Oh yeah, it's going to

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>cost two hundred thousand. That's one of those jobs. But

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 2>just for those people wondering where the money does go,

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>it actually.

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Actually goes a good thing. It goes, so I appreciate, right,

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>which is good. Yeah, we don't get to choose the spot,

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah.

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's good. It's good. Anyway, we move on to

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the we move on to the big winners, and I

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 2>don't there's a couple of big winners this week. I

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know if there was a bigger one than Hawthorne.

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 2>They moved into the eighth after being on quite a

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 2>win streak. Obviously, they went zero to five or whatever

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>at the start of the season, so they're on the

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 2>back foot. Gave everyone in the competition a head start.

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.959
<v Speaker 2>Now they're in the eight after knocking Carlton out by

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>beating them by eighty odd points, absolutely annihilated them both

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>on the scoreboard, and you know they're playing list Carldon

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:39.919
<v Speaker 2>came out of that with a hell of a lot

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 2>of injuries. I want to know, do you think that

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 2>they're the scariest team outside the top four at the moment.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they're the scariest team that teams might look past.

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Like if you were in the top four, you lose

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 2>your first final, you have to go into the second

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>semi or whatever the hell it's called noway yea, and

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you had the verse hawthor.

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>On, you be gone. I hope that they don't get

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>on top of us early. They're oh my gosh, hell yeah,

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they're scary. Like if you're sitting there at this team

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that's just lost a bit of confidence and momentum from

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, losing you know, a top four match, like, yeah,

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd be a bit nervous going into that game because

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.360
<v Speaker 1>they are the team that's inform, Like they're the ones

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 1>that have this momentum going and there's anything as possible

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 1>and they have the utmost confidence right now. Yeah, and

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:33.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's great to see, Like I'd love to say

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it's entertaining as hell. Yeah if you yeah, if you're

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lining up against them, like you're going into that team

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>meeting as a coach, going do not take these guys

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>for granted.

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, it's going to be very interesting because obviously

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't know. They're obviously a young ass team, a

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of inexperience, so we don't know how they will

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>perform on the final stage. At this point in time,

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 2>they've answered most of the questions asked of them.

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, ya over the weekend. That was the

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>BIGGES statement. I think they've had all you Yeah.

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's going to be interesting to see if

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 2>they you know, if they shine under the bright lights

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of finals or not. But you know they're going to

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.439
<v Speaker 2>make it first. But they're in a pretty good position

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 2>as it stands GWS. Another big winner from the weekend

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>went to Brisbane and beat Brisbane who was on a

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 2>nine game winning streak. They came from behind again. Giants

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>have done that a couple of times now to end

0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the streak at nine.

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Pretty impressive. Are they like away game? Like I said,

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>jerrys actually plays really well away.

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 2>And they flag favorites for me at the moment you

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 2>said you've got Brisbane as your number one seed. I'd

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 2>have to challenge that with GWS. They won. They just

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 2>beat them at the Gabba to knock off their nine

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 2>game win streak. Brisbane they're still like shaky a little

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 2>bit in their back half and then GWS fourd half

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Hogan, you could do anything. Toby Grant's coming in

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to form the Cadman. They said, the cad boy turned

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 2>into the Cadman over the weekend. It was. It was

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 2>a very impressive win and ended up doing it semi comfortably,

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:08.159
<v Speaker 2>like they were behind by a few. They kicked what

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 2>was it, how many goals in the last quarter. It

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>was one goal, two or something to six goals or

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 2>four goals or something late in the last. So yeah,

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 2>they ended up running over Brisbane late in the last

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I've got them as flag favorites. They've

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 2>had enough.

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:24.959
<v Speaker 1>Halfway through the year. You were about to jump off

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the band.

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Which you were so almost isn't jumping off? I gave

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 2>them a rocket. And what you should be this is you.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.640
<v Speaker 2>This is the journalist in you, This is the AFL

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 2>media journalist in you. What the article headline should stay

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>is loyal Cox sticks with gs Grady Sydney Western. Anyway,

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 2>my boys, the Greater Western Sydney Giants, the big, big

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 2>sound I reckon they're the scariest team in the camp

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>right now and if they can do it at the

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Gabber against Brisbane, I feel like they can do it

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 2>against anyone anywhere, anytime.

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be a force, that's for sure. Over

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the next month they're going to be an absolute force.

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>The biggest thing is just staying healthy going into it

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>so they can just continue to do that. Am I

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>putting the chinks out there?

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 2>No of the headline because we moved straight into Geelong

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's very Collingwood esque. Ah, Geelong too old, too slow?

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Are they going to do damage in finals? Because at

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the moment they're in decent form yep. But if you're

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 2>watching the games, you're looking at Jeremy Cameron just absolutely

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 2>dragging them across the line, and you're looking at Dangerfield

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 2>doing it from the midfield and sneaking forward, kicking some

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 2>clutch goals. Old dogs now we know geting them along.

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 2>We know Danger has some injury concerns and he's kind

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of hopefully he's gotten over that he could take his

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>time this year and get his get himself back well.

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Cameron start the year pretty good, then had a

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 2>slow patch, but he's well and truly back into form

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 2>at the moment. So I feel like it's closely tied

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to those two senior players.

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You could say so, yeah, but do you reckon they

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>can go all the way? Yes? I think their biggest

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of advantage between them and the rest of the

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>competition is their experience, obviously, and I think when it

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>comes to those big games, big game moments, being able

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to handle the pressure of a close game in a

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 1>winner go home would definitely put them in good I

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>mean like that that's you know, if Jazz goes down

0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, I mean call it like you're done, I

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they're going to be able to recover

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>from that. So it's kind of one of those things

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>where it is. I mean, they're obviously a very good

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>team at the top eight right now and in playing well,

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>but they're one step for injury away from like the

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>whole thing being shaken up. So as long as they

0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy, their chance to yeah, their chances anyone else.

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what about Tom Hawkins interesting situation they've got, he's

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:08.040
<v Speaker 2>fighting for fitness, he's back at training now. We know

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 2>it's his last year, but he's not calling it immediately

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>like Dusty. So there's a few things to go into this.

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 2>If he's not one hundred percent, say he's eighty percent. Firstly,

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 2>do you play him in that last game in Geelong

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 2>against West Coast for a potential sendoff game?

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>M No, No, I've wait till finals.

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you're waiting till finals, but.

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Then you had the sendoff thing, yeah, because you won't

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>play it. You might not play another home game.

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Interesting, Yeah, and he might get up for finals.

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you bring him back for finals? What percentage does

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 2>he have to be out for you to bring him

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:55.719
<v Speaker 2>back for finals? Hawkins at eighty percent? Is Hawkins at

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 2>ninety percent good enough to get back into the team

0:31:57.840 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 2>for finals?

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I think seventy five? Honest with you, I mean, like,

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>he's not a guy that's, you know, doing what Jess

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>is doing, going all the way up the ground and

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 1>coming all the way back. Like he's a person that

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 1>like if he isn't one hundred percent, you can still

0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>put him as the deepest man. Just tell him to

0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like body up whoever it is, and he can be

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>dangerous in that sense, right, So I think you look

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 1>at like seventy five percent, you'd be like, yeah, like

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you at seventy or five percent, or he'll probably give

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>us enough for us to find it worthwhile to play you.

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he would be a scary opponent. They've got some

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 2>young forwards up there. But if you're going into a

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 2>final and you're standing next to big Tom Hawkins, big hulking.

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Dude, he's got to bring the biggest defender. Yeah, so

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>then I allow someone else maybe open up Like it's

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>he causes an issue because he is so large like

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and how he can be able to manipulate his body

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to be able to kind of get to the drop

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of the ball and push people off it. So yeah,

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I lookly like seventy five percent. You're playing him, and

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>then it.

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Comes to matchups because if you can see weakness, if

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>he can't run and you can run and spread off him,

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that's just another thing that you've got to take into consideration.

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:02.960
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be an interesting final series. We talk

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 2>about Port Adelaide now they are going so low under

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the radar. No one's talking about Port Ken Hinkley's over there,

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 2>just getting it done. They were very loud when Port

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 2>were shit. They all the media. Everyone loves to call

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 2>for people's heads. But as soon as they're good, and

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 2>they are absolutely cherry ripe and flying at the moment.

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 2>They just came over here and they beat Melbourne. I

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>know Melbourne's a bit banged up and low, but this

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 2>was Melbourne season on the line and they got the

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 2>job done. So they are prime for a good run

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:38.719
<v Speaker 2>at it. They got the valuable win at the MCG

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 2>because not a lot of these interstate teams get games

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 2>at the MCG full stop. Let alone come over here

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and win one. But they just seem to have the

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 2>players that have the urgency to win these games, to

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 2>stand up. You got Butters, you got Horny Frank, You've

0:33:54.760 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 2>got a bunch in there, Rosie and whoever there's The board.

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Line's pretty stacked. Yeah, so they bolstered their defense as well.

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They got Alira Lear back there a while back. Now,

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>they got Zurch thatcher, so they're pretty much set around

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the ground and they've got a fair bit of experience.

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 2>They're not a young team. They're more of a middle

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.520
<v Speaker 2>team based with the other teams that are running around

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 2>out there. So I feel like Kenny Hinckley's got these

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>boys up and firing at the perfect time to have

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:23.840
<v Speaker 2>him cherry right going into fun.

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And we love it. Weally love Ken Hinkley. It's just

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.879
<v Speaker 1>like there's something about it because it's just I think

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I love it even more because Port fans are just

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>so fricking ruthless, like just absolutely assholes to their team,

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Like if they lose, they're one of the worst supporter

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>base as far as like supporting through thick and thin.

0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I feel like and the fact that they're going, Wow,

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just kind of like this whole thing of everyone

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was like on the back, like, man, we got fire,

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>can we gotta do this? We gotta redo the whole place,

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, we got what's his name, KOCHI left, you know,

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, oh, it's a new we gotta do

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.279
<v Speaker 1>a new generation and shit whatever it is. And now

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>they're winning and they're like, oh, well, maybe I was wrong,

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe just maybe they jumped again a little bit too.

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like you look at Port fans and

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 2>they're frustrated, they don't have anything to be shitty.

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they're mad that they don't have something to be

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:19.320
<v Speaker 1>mad about. And I'm like, mate, you live an Adelaide Gee, sorry,

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>sorry Adelaid people. It's a lovely place, just beautiful places.

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Still the big winners, so you've got to be grinning

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:26.240
<v Speaker 2>at the moment. We talk about the big losers because

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 2>there's none bigger loser this weekend than the obvious and

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 2>we talked about them last week because they haven't played

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>a final, they haven't won a final. And you know,

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>half over half my life, there's been players that are

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 2>running out there that have never seen them win a final.

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 2>We talk about it every week. But Essendon they find

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a new way to disappoint their fan base every single week.

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 2>And this one was an absolute pearlo because if you

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 2>had to script it beforehand, you couldn't have written this

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.520
<v Speaker 2>because they go into the last quarter they're doing well.

0:35:56.040 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 2>They kick one goal nine, they have ten shots at goal.

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 2>They probably had more, they probably kicked more out in

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the full but they kicked one nine. We had Stringer

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>kicked three points in the last quarter. Oh my goodness.

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>They were looking so good before that and all the

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Gold Coast had to do was kicked two goals in

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 2>the last quarter and one They couldn't even keep it

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 2>in between the sirens. They had to kick one after

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 2>the siren to get the job done. Big Mac Andrew

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.839
<v Speaker 2>goes back, takes a Mark goes back. The best part

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>about it is it looks like it's missing early. People

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 2>in the top tier go up celebrating and then it

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 2>bends straight back in. It gives them the shush running

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:38.239
<v Speaker 2>into the pocket and I just I don't even know.

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 2>We talked about it last week that they are normally

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 2>just devoid of old joy and anything going into these games.

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think any of them were surprised it happened.

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>It cut to the crowd and they were like, oh, yeah, yeah,

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:56.280
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty standard. Then they're like packing up their bags

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 2>and stuff and on their way home.

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It's so sad. You have to feel for us, and

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 1>in fans you have to feel for them, like it's

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>so it would be so frustrating. So frush are you

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:11.280
<v Speaker 1>get into the last quarter and have that that score

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of one nine to two zero and you're thinking, like

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>it's the hope. I think it's the hope that gets

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 1>you run. It's the oh man, like this is our year.

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Every time, every start of the year, this is our

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 1>year and they've got this just unbiased, just like go

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 1>go for it, hope, and then you just see it

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>just get cut down and cut down and cut down

0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>until you get to this time of year and they've

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 1>just lost all self respect. They're throwing their scarf out

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>on the on the field. It's they're burning their memberships.

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 1>And then the funny thing that it always gets me

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 1>next year, it's back, baby, It's back to yourself. Do

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you know to blame but yourself?

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 2>How do you get that membership pack in the mail?

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 2>You pull out that nice crisp sticker that's gonna say

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Essendon Season twenty twenty five. How do you appeel the

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 2>back off that bad boy and stick it to the

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.719
<v Speaker 2>back of your car and then drive around with that

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.920
<v Speaker 2>thing on all year knowing it's gonna.

0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Be big off the stickers if the team goes bad.

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, people just go, oh, maybe I don't

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>want to promote that I'm a member.

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 2>This year I saw someone rolling around with twenty Essendon

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:27.480
<v Speaker 2>stickers on the back of their car.

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:28.279
<v Speaker 1>One.

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 2>They've got a very durable car, car's gone a lot

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 2>of years, that's done a lot.

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Of clicks too.

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.920
<v Speaker 2>That is a very resilient person driving that thing. So

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I feel bad for you guys. There

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.760
<v Speaker 2>was an extra one. Draper was kicking them from everywhere.

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 2>He ran from a stoppage, took a bounce, kicked one

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 2>from fifty, great celebration, another one just after, kicked a

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 2>set shot, did the Turkish Man gun celebration. Then went

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 2>on to miss two absolute sodas in the last quarter.

0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Just all these things that add up the last one,

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 2>we can't not talk about it. Gresham pushed his opponent

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 2>in the back, ball fell to him. He didn't hear

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the whistle. He runs right into the goals, kicks it

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:13.560
<v Speaker 2>through the goal, celebrates his high five and all the

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.479
<v Speaker 2>blokes in the crowd and they call it back push

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:18.719
<v Speaker 2>in the back? What are you doing? Lucky not to

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:21.200
<v Speaker 2>get a fifty pen didn't matter in the end, because

0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:22.839
<v Speaker 2>big Mac Andrew goes down the other end.

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Kicks It's Mac Andrew. He's a legend. He's a great story.

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Incredible stories to go from patal story, Yeah, back to Ford.

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember playing on it. He's an athletic freak. He

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 1>can jump out of the ship. I'm that man, And yeah,

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it was it was great to see him own that

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>moment and be able to make the most of it.

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And once again, Sorryident.

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Now that we've got that out of the way, let's

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:46.840
<v Speaker 2>speed run a couple of these other losers free. Oh,

0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate bag fumblers this year, they could have been

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 2>second probably around three times, at least two, and they

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 2>gone on to lose. They lost to Essen and then

0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:58.920
<v Speaker 2>they go Geelong at home lose to them. Now they

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 2>make it very high themselves to even make finals, which

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 2>is crazy to think. They have to beat GWS next

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 2>week in Sydney, which is no easy feat, and then

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 2>they have to beat Port in Perth last round that

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>could be to make finals.

0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>That's wild.

0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 2>That's not a situation you want to be putting yourself in.

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:26.759
<v Speaker 2>So not only did they fumble the bag and screw

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 2>up a home finals chance and a double chance at finals,

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>they've really cost themselves and could be losing their spot

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 2>inside the eight. Brisbane. You know, it's pretty hard to

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 2>give them the big losers, but I'm going to give

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 2>it to them just because the slide. They went from

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.879
<v Speaker 2>second to fifth, so they dropped out of the top

0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 2>four and they kicked one goal four to six goals

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.640
<v Speaker 2>in the last to get overrun. Lost by three goals.

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 2>So that's a real unfortunate one for Brisbane. But they

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.919
<v Speaker 2>still are. They're up there. They're a strong team. West

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 2>In Bulldogs. Not a crazy loss, but just costly for

0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 2>their ladder position. Could have done great things, could have

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:07.799
<v Speaker 2>jumped up the team.

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like a lot of people have said they're

0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 1>an easy win, but I was looking at all the

0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 1>games of stuff, most of them are like within ten points. Yeah,

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it is actually like they're not a walkover team that

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:21.480
<v Speaker 1>people think they are.

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:23.560
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like they're so close to getting it

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to click right. I thought this season was going to

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 2>be better, a bit inconsistent, but it's just another season

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:31.800
<v Speaker 2>under their belt. They still got really young players outside

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 2>of text Walker, who's one hundred and fifty years old

0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 2>but still doing good things. But yeah, the fog. I

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:40.879
<v Speaker 2>saw the fog play on the weekend and I there's

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 2>some good There's some good things. Is like cracking the

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:47.759
<v Speaker 2>first tin on like a sunny Sunday afternoon, one of

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:48.919
<v Speaker 2>the great things out there.

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Mowing the lawn, nailing a parallel park.

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Just all of those things, and then above all of

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 2>those watching the fog kick a set shot goal. He's

0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 2>just crispy flewid action, doesn't even look like he kicks

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 2>it hard and it goes sixty meters. It's just a

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 2>delicious thing to just watch from afar and admire. I

0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>couldn't kick over a jamped in. I saw some of

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 2>your kicks on the weekend. Jeez, jamped In. I don't know.

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't kick over an a four piece of paper.

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's jump straight into this because instead of just calling

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 2>him a big loser, we'll go straight into the Collingwood

0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 2>segment because it was rough for everyone. It's rough for everyone.

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to just off the top. Let's go into therapy.

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to therapy. What happened, ah man? We played

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.399
<v Speaker 1>well for three quarters and then Sydney came home hat

0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and Isaac Keeney just decided to be everywhere everywhere legitimately,

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how. I don't know he multiplied, had

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a few twins out there or something or what. But

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 1>every time I looked up, somehow the balls sitting there

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 1>right next to him just getting into his hands.

0:42:51.280 --> 0:42:53.560
<v Speaker 2>So and like in the midfield and then like he's

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:58.399
<v Speaker 2>in the goal square. It's like that's not possible. That's tealiportation.

0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's doing this. It was crazy. He's the incredible player.

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Him and Chad Warner obviously played really well over the weekend.

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, we just we struggled to be able to

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:10.399
<v Speaker 1>hold the lead in the fourth quarter and they came

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:17.359
<v Speaker 1>home very very strong. And yeah, rough. I I want

0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to say so much, so much, Braiden, But you know

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>how this works.

0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:26.120
<v Speaker 2>It's sometimes it's good to just suppress.

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Something collar on from the AFL.

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's good to just suppress some things. So we'll

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:33.720
<v Speaker 2>keep going through our list of things and I might draw.

0:43:33.640 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Some out of you.

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to start with the positive because you did

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:39.279
<v Speaker 2>kick a goal. And then you know, one of the

0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:43.200
<v Speaker 2>more unfortunate celebrations to give a crowd when you end

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:44.840
<v Speaker 2>up losing the game is the shush.

0:43:45.560 --> 0:43:46.799
<v Speaker 1>It's gone pretty well at that point.

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Ah, but yeah, what was the shush about? Were you

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 2>getting stick from the crowd? Yeah?

0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean Sydney's an interesting place, right the MCG, like

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 1>behind the bench stuff is all oh, you know, the MCG.

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 1>It's all it's all media and stuff. You don't get

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:02.320
<v Speaker 1>too many hecklers. But like at the SEG it is

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 1>literally as soon as you sit up out of the

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>like off the bench, it's like people huckleing yeah, and

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:09.879
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting there like okay, mate, come on, like we're

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:15.120
<v Speaker 1>in Sydney, bro ge back. So yeah, there's just people

0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:17.360
<v Speaker 1>talking trash up there, and they do have a this

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a hostile crowd. I think like there's been a bit

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of Oh there's been some really big games I think

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>between us and Sydney. Obviously the prelium up there and

0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:28.239
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. So injured jack in Yeah, I mean

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:30.880
<v Speaker 1>there's some stuff that Sydney's done. I don't think they.

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, last I heard there's like dating meetups and

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:37.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff going on in these games, like I don't know, whatever,

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get fans there, I'm off for it.

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.840
<v Speaker 1>But the next Sydney game, yeah, I know we need

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to we should actually join that. There's a lot going

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on up there. But yeah, you couple a little bit

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>over the over the boundary, I guess in Sydney. So

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I said, if someone's willing to give

0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it to me, I'm happy to give it back to them.

0:44:56.120 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I like that, Like I like it. I'll break it

0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 2>down just a real like quick let's look at this

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:07.320
<v Speaker 2>in a nutshell. The things I like, I like player taunting.

0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I also like the ability to give it back to

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a player within reason. And then I like the player

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.160
<v Speaker 2>not only taunting like other players and stuff like that.

0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I like them being able to taunt the crowd. We've

0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:22.640
<v Speaker 2>seen a couple of good ones. As long as no

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:25.920
<v Speaker 2>one oversteps a line. I like it all. So say like,

0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:29.359
<v Speaker 2>you shush the crowd and then and then you kick

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:31.680
<v Speaker 2>that other one that you did kick that was a shocker.

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 2>If they're shushing you back, I think that's great banter.

0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:38.240
<v Speaker 2>That's great banter both sides.

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:40.839
<v Speaker 1>It's usually the USA champ back screw something out.

0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, stuff like that. I like that. It can obviously

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:47.360
<v Speaker 2>cross a line, but before I like it. For the

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 2>most part. Across the board, there's a lot of people

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:52.439
<v Speaker 2>that I feel like, you know, eighty percent of people

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:55.360
<v Speaker 2>are probably on board with the let's not go wild stuff,

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and then there's another twenty percent that think they're joining

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:01.959
<v Speaker 2>in but taking it way too far way.

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 1>We just need to be reeled back in, just reel

0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it back in.

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I do, I don't know.

0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I wish we still could be able to tunt on

0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the mark. Oh man, that was That was one of

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the coolest things about AFL And my first side I

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, people are doing handstands and like pulling their

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>shirt up and like throwing grass at the person. I

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is fine, this is great entertainment.

0:46:24.560 --> 0:46:26.879
<v Speaker 2>The fake grass toss. How is that pulled out?

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:29.160
<v Speaker 1>It was real? It was real grass.

0:46:30.400 --> 0:46:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Like the guys will take out their mouthguard and pretend

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to throw their mouthguard, Like, who's that hurting? Bring that back?

0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:39.520
<v Speaker 2>All those ones are fine, you think, I think that's

0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:41.719
<v Speaker 2>what's he gonna I thought he was going to throw

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 2>a mouthguard at me a lot, like a little piece

0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:47.719
<v Speaker 2>of rubber. Mate. You get like hip and shouldered to

0:46:47.840 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the dome and you come anyway anyway. I like the

0:46:53.320 --> 0:46:55.240
<v Speaker 2>thought of bringing it back. I do want to stop

0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 2>on it a tiny bit because you did it.

0:46:57.239 --> 0:46:57.799
<v Speaker 1>We got to.

0:46:57.920 --> 0:47:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Clarify this, and anyone we clarify. We know our We

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 2>know our podcast audience is the more sophisticated all of course,

0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 2>like our audience. We know it, and we discussed it

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:13.680
<v Speaker 2>last week. But there's still some idiots out there. You

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:15.640
<v Speaker 2>jumping up and down on the mark. You did it

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:17.879
<v Speaker 2>again on the weekend. And I think that was saying

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it on the commentary. I'm pretty sure I'm not calling

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.719
<v Speaker 2>BT an idiot. We love BT, but he was saying, Oh,

0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you can't jump up and down. We got told that

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:27.760
<v Speaker 2>it's to stand. You got to stand. The whole commentary

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Box was about standing.

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:31.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just as clear on rules as we are exactly.

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:33.640
<v Speaker 2>So that's what this is. Why there's more confusion. So

0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:35.839
<v Speaker 2>you can jump up and down on the spot.

0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you can jump down on the spot. Can't go forward,

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:40.640
<v Speaker 1>can't go back, can't move side to side, what's up

0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and down? You can't go anywhere else.

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Late, you did kind of jump off to the side,

0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:49.840
<v Speaker 2>but we'll ignore that because the umpire somehow didn't see it.

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So I think maybe that's it's a big call. Anyway,

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:54.799
<v Speaker 2>as soon.

0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:56.440
<v Speaker 1>As he kicks it, you can kind of like, as

0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>long as the ball hits I mean, as soon as

0:47:58.360 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball hits its foot as play on.

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if he comes off his line you can't

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 2>and Gray Arias, we love Gray Arias. Anyway, let's jump

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:06.759
<v Speaker 2>into it. Because you did play against one of your

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 2>good mates, Brody Grundy, there's a fair bit of by play.

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:14.879
<v Speaker 2>It was a pretty even contest across the board. I'm

0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:17.120
<v Speaker 2>not going to say who won, and last we don't

0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:20.719
<v Speaker 2>need together. Yeah, but there was a moment where you

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 2>took a mark in front of Brody Grundy, which is

0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:28.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty wild. One grabber too big, one grab pluck, and

0:48:28.560 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it cut to Brody and Brody had a big smile

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:32.399
<v Speaker 2>on his face, And when you were going on back

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:34.440
<v Speaker 2>on the mark, you had a big smile on your face.

0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:36.440
<v Speaker 2>And I want to know what the bye play of

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:37.279
<v Speaker 2>all of that was.

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's playing a professional sport against one of

0:48:41.400 --> 0:48:44.320
<v Speaker 1>your like really good friends. It's weird to think that,

0:48:44.480 --> 0:48:47.359
<v Speaker 1>like you've played together for like eight years and nine

0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:50.000
<v Speaker 1>years whatever it was, and then now you're like it's

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:54.200
<v Speaker 1>supposed to like hate each other. It's like look man like,

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you want each person wants the other

0:48:57.760 --> 0:48:59.759
<v Speaker 1>one to be successful. Obviously whenever you're playing them like

0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the total opposite of what you want because you're obviously

0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:04.920
<v Speaker 1>like their direct matchup. So I think it was just

0:49:05.040 --> 0:49:07.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny because like, as rockman, there's a bit

0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of a rockman club. You know, you have a bit

0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of a chatter out on the field because you're kind

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of running next to each other for most of the game,

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and there's a bit of respect towards each other. You

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:19.200
<v Speaker 1>could say, right, that's a big man, and you know, Brodie,

0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you kind of have a little chat yeah around just

0:49:20.960 --> 0:49:22.600
<v Speaker 1>say how you going, what's up? This is a bit

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:28.120
<v Speaker 1>weird experience, you know, and yeah, like you just you

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:30.040
<v Speaker 1>talk a bit of trash to each other and yeah,

0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:31.839
<v Speaker 1>someone does something good, it's something the end of the world.

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:33.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're just gonna have a bit of a

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:36.400
<v Speaker 1>laugh about it. And yeah, you can win every single contest,

0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:38.680
<v Speaker 1>so you know, you you say, well done, I can

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:43.680
<v Speaker 1>go out to whatever it is and get fucked the time. Yeah,

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it's quite funny. I think. I foind it was like

0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:49.799
<v Speaker 1>a unique experience and one that I really enjoy because

0:49:49.840 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to play against some of the best people

0:49:51.120 --> 0:49:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and Brodie's like one of the best rockmen in the camp. Yeah,

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:56.360
<v Speaker 1>but I think there's just like a real kind of

0:49:56.440 --> 0:49:58.719
<v Speaker 1>respect between the people at the same time and in

0:49:58.800 --> 0:50:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a real enjoyment playing each other. Knowing like you've trained

0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:03.839
<v Speaker 1>against each other for eight years, so you know each

0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:05.920
<v Speaker 1>one of them's like little habits and little things that

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:08.120
<v Speaker 1>they do, and you know, you probably have a bit

0:50:08.200 --> 0:50:11.759
<v Speaker 1>more of an understanding of every kind of thing they're

0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>going to do on a game day rather than someone

0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:17.359
<v Speaker 1>who's just looking at film. Yeah, and you understand their

0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:19.840
<v Speaker 1>mental headspace and like what gets them off and like

0:50:20.280 --> 0:50:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that sounded really gross, what throws them off and things

0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:26.920
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know. So it's kind of like this

0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:29.239
<v Speaker 1>whole kind of game against each other and it's it's

0:50:29.280 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>quite fun just to screw with each other around it.

0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's yeah. Over the weekend, it was. It was

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:35.640
<v Speaker 1>quite funny.

0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I thought he was surprised that you took a one

0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:42.200
<v Speaker 2>grab mark on him. He probably was, but he did

0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:44.760
<v Speaker 2>go back and I had complete and art of confidence

0:50:44.800 --> 0:50:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in your kicking ability. The little graphic popped up on

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the screen said five to four from set shots. I

0:50:50.280 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 2>was like, that's not as good as it once was.

0:50:54.160 --> 0:50:56.320
<v Speaker 2>And then you went back and I don't know what

0:50:56.600 --> 0:51:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you did here because it went not high, not far,

0:51:02.360 --> 0:51:05.759
<v Speaker 2>and skewed heavily right. But it was a very nice

0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:06.600
<v Speaker 2>assist in the air.

0:51:06.719 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It didn't count for a color behind Brenden, so fire

0:51:11.640 --> 0:51:13.520
<v Speaker 1>for still standing when.

0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:15.120
<v Speaker 2>You're like, oh, pop it to the top of the

0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:17.200
<v Speaker 2>square when you're like five meters out from the top

0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:18.080
<v Speaker 2>of the square, it's.

0:51:17.960 --> 0:51:20.160
<v Speaker 1>A bit different. Yeah, it was. It was one of

0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the SEG's a very wide ground, and I think I

0:51:22.680 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 1>pulled off the mic and I like kind of looked

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:27.239
<v Speaker 1>up and realized they could barely see a sliver of

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>space between the two big posts. So I was kind

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:32.719
<v Speaker 1>of like, it should probably be snapping this, but there

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:34.320
<v Speaker 1>was not enough like time to be able to go

0:51:34.440 --> 0:51:36.360
<v Speaker 1>back and then set up a snap, so you just

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:39.520
<v Speaker 1>had to commit to the process. And yeah, I didn't

0:51:39.520 --> 0:51:41.680
<v Speaker 1>go so well, I mean luckily when we scored off it.

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.839
<v Speaker 1>So who's to say that wasn't what I was meaning

0:51:44.920 --> 0:51:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to do, except it was my intention for us to

0:51:46.920 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 1>get six points out of that play.

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:51.200
<v Speaker 2>And we did Brandon set play every week, set play,

0:51:51.239 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 2>watch out for it next week because it'll come back again.

0:51:54.280 --> 0:51:57.320
<v Speaker 2>We may as well just keep riffing on you because

0:51:57.320 --> 0:51:59.919
<v Speaker 2>there was a moment where you gave away a ruck

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:02.560
<v Speaker 2>free kick. Now, whether it was there or not, that's

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:04.919
<v Speaker 2>that's already decided, and it's in the book.

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:07.800
<v Speaker 1>You lost your shit.

0:52:09.280 --> 0:52:12.320
<v Speaker 2>You were like, you can't be you're bending over in

0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:14.200
<v Speaker 2>half or whatever, and then it cuts to the wide

0:52:14.200 --> 0:52:17.120
<v Speaker 2>shot and you're just staring bullets through the.

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Umpire explain what's going on. I feel like.

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:22.839
<v Speaker 2>That's probably a better move is to just shut your

0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:25.319
<v Speaker 2>mouth and just stare as hard as you can at

0:52:25.440 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>him because you can't really get in trouble for steering right.

0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And then anyway it goes hope, not anyway, it goes

0:52:32.719 --> 0:52:35.879
<v Speaker 2>further down the field and you thought you gave away

0:52:35.920 --> 0:52:36.879
<v Speaker 2>another free kick?

0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:40.520
<v Speaker 1>True, yes, Well Brodie like goes back to like get

0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:42.239
<v Speaker 1>the balls if he was like coming off the mark

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I have just give up. I

0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:49.680
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. I have no, absolutely no idea how

0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that could have been a free kick. And then he's like, hey,

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you could get the ball, and I was like, good,

0:52:55.040 --> 0:53:02.759
<v Speaker 1>chat was enjoying the footy. The first one I was

0:53:02.920 --> 0:53:05.160
<v Speaker 1>living on and then to call it and I was like,

0:53:05.400 --> 0:53:08.160
<v Speaker 1>what happened? He's just like not free kicking. I'm like, no,

0:53:08.400 --> 0:53:11.279
<v Speaker 1>explain what happened because I have no idea what I did.

0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And then you kind of get used to get explanation

0:53:14.000 --> 0:53:17.839
<v Speaker 1>from the umpire later on whatever maybe, but then yeah,

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and then the second one, I was just like it

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>was within like a minute of each other, and I

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:25.520
<v Speaker 1>was just already on edge. I was mate, oh boy,

0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you were just wow.

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:31.760
<v Speaker 2>You were just reving up to really give both barrels.

0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:34.759
<v Speaker 2>There was a fifty meter penalty just on the precipice,

0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:38.400
<v Speaker 2>just on the horizon, and then it was peeny, it's yours,

0:53:38.440 --> 0:53:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're just.

0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yep, okay, good chat, good call.

0:53:42.760 --> 0:53:46.719
<v Speaker 2>He was held for sure. Oh my god. So then

0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:49.480
<v Speaker 2>we move on from there. Now this one, I'm sure

0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you would have copt no criticism over this incident at all.

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Late in the game Rock Contest, you didn't have an

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.919
<v Speaker 2>opponent in the rock deep inside your forward line game

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:02.440
<v Speaker 2>in the balance, you had an opportunity to either take

0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the ball out of the ruck or tap it, set

0:54:05.440 --> 0:54:10.120
<v Speaker 2>plays to teammates running whatever routes, and you decided to

0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 2>go to the tap. Yeah, what went through your head

0:54:12.480 --> 0:54:12.959
<v Speaker 2>in that moment?

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when it ever says no no Rock Sydney or

0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 1>wherever it was, that does go through mind like, oh, like,

0:54:19.280 --> 0:54:20.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of how much space do I have around me?

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Can I kind of pull this out and be able

0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to kick, you know, be able to get good contact

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:26.239
<v Speaker 1>on a ball and get in the direction that is

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:29.800
<v Speaker 1>between the two big ones. It's very hard to do

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.719
<v Speaker 1>because usually you maybe have half a second before like

0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:35.440
<v Speaker 1>once they realized that there's no one there, usually defenders

0:54:35.480 --> 0:54:38.440
<v Speaker 1>probably bang right on you pretty quickly and you get tackled.

0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So the mind kind of they did cross my mind

0:54:41.000 --> 0:54:42.920
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you said it, But I think you

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:45.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, we're pretty good Ford fifty stoppage team,

0:54:45.239 --> 0:54:46.840
<v Speaker 1>so you kind of, you know, back that in. And

0:54:47.880 --> 0:54:49.439
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you, you got, you know, people

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like Nick Decoss run around. It's pretty tough not to

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 1>be giving them a you know, a head out. So yeah,

0:54:54.920 --> 0:54:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you're back in. Yeah, there's that play that you have

0:54:57.520 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 1>running and they had they had to behind the ball.

0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Nick bake Lye. Honestly, they took

0:55:02.120 --> 0:55:04.359
<v Speaker 1>it out and kicked it out and that was kind

0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of the end of it. But yeah, you definitely think

0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:11.000
<v Speaker 1>about it as a rock. If it was a different

0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>time of the game, in a different score, you'd probably

0:55:15.080 --> 0:55:17.719
<v Speaker 1>be more willing to do it. But I think in

0:55:17.840 --> 0:55:20.480
<v Speaker 1>such a close game, given the percentages of it actually

0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:23.160
<v Speaker 1>being successful and not being so high, you probably don't

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:26.640
<v Speaker 1>err on doing it. If you're like first quarter, you're

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>up by fifteen, maybe twenty points, you would might think

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:32.759
<v Speaker 1>about doing it right or maybe take it out of

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the rock and like have someone come to tackle you,

0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:36.200
<v Speaker 1>handball to his man and then you try to get

0:55:36.239 --> 0:55:39.520
<v Speaker 1>a goal out of it. But in that moment, I

0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:42.399
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's probably the percentage play, if that makes sense,

0:55:42.800 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and the highest percentage play is probably try to kick

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:45.359
<v Speaker 1>a goal.

0:55:45.600 --> 0:55:48.240
<v Speaker 2>It does cross your mind, Well, it's all hindsight stuff.

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:49.600
<v Speaker 2>If you had at tapped it and went to a

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 2>teammate and you kicked the goal, you're a legend. If

0:55:51.560 --> 0:55:53.080
<v Speaker 2>you had to taken it out of the rock and

0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:57.239
<v Speaker 2>got tackled straight away, you're a bigger villain because look

0:55:57.280 --> 0:55:59.399
<v Speaker 2>at you trying to win the game off your own boot.

0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Very hard situation to put yourself in, because you've also

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:04.759
<v Speaker 2>got and I'm not sure in that moment that it

0:56:04.800 --> 0:56:07.080
<v Speaker 2>could quickly go through your head. But like what your

0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:09.960
<v Speaker 2>coach would say, what your teammates would.

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Right, Like, you want to play your role on the team,

0:56:12.200 --> 0:56:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's my role.

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:17.359
<v Speaker 2>S I do like a lot of people have put

0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:19.840
<v Speaker 2>your ability on such a pedestal that they think that

0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:23.719
<v Speaker 2>the two point one meter tall block can snatch it

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 2>out of the ruck and quickly get it on his

0:56:25.280 --> 0:56:28.759
<v Speaker 2>boots snap it through. But did they see the search

0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:32.239
<v Speaker 2>up before looking back at the replay, there was two

0:56:32.360 --> 0:56:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Sydney blokes that identified really quick that you were one

0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:38.359
<v Speaker 2>out in the ruck and got to you straight away.

0:56:39.120 --> 0:56:42.200
<v Speaker 1>So obvious Sidney, no rock.

0:56:42.320 --> 0:56:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Sydney shut down quick. But it was just one to

0:56:46.320 --> 0:56:50.359
<v Speaker 2>bring up. Now. Your coach did speak on this post game,

0:56:51.000 --> 0:56:53.439
<v Speaker 2>got a nice little warning from the NFL to say, hey,

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:56.839
<v Speaker 2>stop showing personality out there and telling us what you think.

0:56:58.080 --> 0:57:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Was it a fifty meter penalty in the Dan mixtaye,

0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Tom McCartin kind of mark in the middle of the ground.

0:57:04.760 --> 0:57:08.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Braden? I'm going to ask you.

0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I will give you my opinion on it, because I'm

0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:16.120
<v Speaker 2>probably the only one again and for mine, I get

0:57:16.200 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 2>that the North Melbourne one earlier in the year that

0:57:18.160 --> 0:57:21.840
<v Speaker 2>people are you know, tying it to I feel like

0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:23.840
<v Speaker 2>that was probably a fifty as well, so I don't

0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:27.320
<v Speaker 2>see how that's any different. But going into this one,

0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like McCartin wasn't in the market, it wasn't

0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a marketing contest, so he was kind of their second.

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Dan took the mark. There is a bit of leeway

0:57:37.000 --> 0:57:39.400
<v Speaker 2>for momentum, but I feel like he went beyond that

0:57:39.520 --> 0:57:43.160
<v Speaker 2>momentum point. There was about three or four steps. There

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:44.800
<v Speaker 2>was a point where you could see that he could

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 2>have pulled up, and he didn't. And then he went

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 2>another three or four steps and then Dan turned around pointed,

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and then that's where I feel like that's the fifty.

0:57:53.800 --> 0:57:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Then beyond that, umpires calling him back. He takes two steps,

0:57:57.240 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 2>but Dan's already played on. I think it's like wild that,

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 2>like if he had got a smother on that like

0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that shouldn't be able to happen. Like it's he's taken

0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a mark, he's gone like ten meters over the mark,

0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 2>and then gets a smother on. He gets to kick

0:58:15.920 --> 0:58:19.680
<v Speaker 2>around and it doesn't really result in anything. But yeah,

0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably a fifty by the letter of

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the law. And then on top of comments around, you know,

0:58:29.680 --> 0:58:31.880
<v Speaker 2>if it was at the MCG, I think you get

0:58:31.920 --> 0:58:34.200
<v Speaker 2>that bias if it's in your home city, I don't

0:58:34.240 --> 0:58:37.560
<v Speaker 2>think it's I don't think it's a you know, the

0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:41.680
<v Speaker 2>stadium or the umpiring or anything plays a result in that.

0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 2>You see it a lot when it goes to like

0:58:43.760 --> 0:58:46.520
<v Speaker 2>West Coast playing in Perth, they get a lot of

0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:49.600
<v Speaker 2>momentum and they get the umpires across the line. There

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of deliberates paid. When the Sydney fans

0:58:52.680 --> 0:58:55.000
<v Speaker 2>got full voice, I thought you were really hard done

0:58:55.080 --> 0:58:59.880
<v Speaker 2>by because you tapped yours around your opponent and it

0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:02.280
<v Speaker 2>was going so slowly to the boundary. You could have

0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:04.200
<v Speaker 2>got back to it and picked it up, but you

0:59:04.280 --> 0:59:06.600
<v Speaker 2>were blocked and tackled off the ball, and then when

0:59:06.640 --> 0:59:08.920
<v Speaker 2>it slowly trickled across the boundary line, you got done

0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:11.440
<v Speaker 2>for deliberate. Now, I think that's a bit harsh. Darcy

0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Moore to Darcy Cameron. I thought that was a bit

0:59:13.240 --> 0:59:15.400
<v Speaker 2>harsh because he's clearly trying to get it around his

0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:17.560
<v Speaker 2>opponent to Darcy Cameron and it goes out of bounds.

0:59:17.920 --> 0:59:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought those two were pretty harsh. But then I

0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:23.560
<v Speaker 2>thought there was a lot. I don't know if you

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:25.800
<v Speaker 2>realized this at the time, but there was a bloody

0:59:26.360 --> 0:59:29.720
<v Speaker 2>heck of a lot of deliberates. There were so many deliberates,

0:59:30.720 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and I think not all of them were there, but

0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there was a lot of them there.

0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:37.880
<v Speaker 2>All in all, I think it was pretty well adjudicated

0:59:38.320 --> 0:59:41.760
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the match, but there was very costly ones,

0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and there's been a lot of very costly ones this

0:59:43.760 --> 0:59:46.840
<v Speaker 2>year where the AFL to that credit, not that it

0:59:46.920 --> 0:59:49.840
<v Speaker 2>helps it all have come out and said, whoopsie, yeah,

0:59:49.880 --> 0:59:52.360
<v Speaker 2>we cost you that game probably about five six times

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:55.440
<v Speaker 2>this year. So I don't know where I sit on that,

0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:59.720
<v Speaker 2>but you know, maybe we should just get better and

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:03.240
<v Speaker 2>we will try to get better. As podcasters, they try

1:00:03.240 --> 1:00:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to get better at what they do. Everyone should just improve.

1:00:06.360 --> 1:00:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's all I'm going to say on it.

1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:09.959
<v Speaker 1>All valid points, bro, That's all I'm going to valid

1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>fifth on most of that, but all valid points.

1:00:12.400 --> 1:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>We all got to get better. If you come out

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and say that you don't want to improve as a human,

1:00:17.440 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing? You need to look in the

1:00:18.840 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>mirror and look at yourself. I do want to jump

1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:23.560
<v Speaker 2>into this one. We need to get a bit of praise. Lastly,

1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll say, Heni Warner, massive congratulations for how well you

1:00:27.560 --> 1:00:31.360
<v Speaker 2>played in the last quarter. Very well done. Fuck me.

1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Good on yes.

1:00:34.600 --> 1:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Jeremy how two hundred and fiftieth game. Absolute legend

1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>of a bloke, nicest bloke out there. Cool to see

1:00:41.880 --> 1:00:46.360
<v Speaker 2>him out there with Xander running through the banner doing

1:00:46.360 --> 1:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>all the nice stuff that we like. For two fifties,

1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a lot of two fifties. Got kind

1:00:50.400 --> 1:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>of zoned out when Pendals was doing his four hundred.

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>But we've seen a few two fifties in recent weeks,

1:00:56.080 --> 1:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and none more deserving than how we who obviously come

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:03.720
<v Speaker 2>across from Melbourne, moved from Ford to back, been great

1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>in defense, came back from a really really serious broken arm.

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>We heard the story on our podcast if you haven't

1:01:10.600 --> 1:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>heard it, got infected, had to go through that whole process,

1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't know if he was going to get back, has

1:01:15.080 --> 1:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>come back and played some really good footies.

1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we had him on the podcast and got the

1:01:18.040 --> 1:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>interview him, but all that kind of stuff. So if

1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you haven't listened to it, go back and look it up.

1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>But incredible human being. One of the people I think

1:01:26.960 --> 1:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that I've looked at probably is you know, for advice,

1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and just the way he lives his life and like

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the way he interacts with people and everything else is

1:01:34.920 --> 1:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>just so positive and so loving, I think, And you

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>look at that and you're like, man, if I can

1:01:38.960 --> 1:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>take a leaf out of his book, you know, I'll

1:01:40.480 --> 1:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>be a better human for it. So for him to

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>get two fifty awesome, awesome accomplishment and to have his

1:01:46.520 --> 1:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>family there with his wife and kid at the game.

1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Was just so cool to see. And yeah, he's been

1:01:51.840 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>through a lot of you know, tough times in his career.

1:01:54.440 --> 1:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>It was all AFL players. I feel like, I kind

1:01:56.120 --> 1:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of do that get to that, to that kind of milestone,

1:01:58.440 --> 1:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's a credit to him and zilience to be

1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>able to kind of fight through that and be able

1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to get out the other side and you know, I'll

1:02:03.560 --> 1:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>be playing such good football still. You know, like you said,

1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>he had the arm injury that was so serious, like

1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it was insane some of that stuff he went through,

1:02:12.240 --> 1:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and he said some other stuff that's been really you know,

1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>tough to kind of get through. And it's crazy to

1:02:17.200 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>me because I think like if I were in the

1:02:19.360 --> 1:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>same situation and some of the same stuff happened to me,

1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I'd be able to kind of

1:02:22.520 --> 1:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>fight through that. And you know, his his ability to

1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>just rock up with a smile every single day still

1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and just be the happy, go lucky eye that he is.

1:02:31.560 --> 1:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just one of those things you just kind of

1:02:32.920 --> 1:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>admire and you're like, man, I wish I could. I

1:02:35.040 --> 1:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>wish I could be like that, you know, and have

1:02:36.760 --> 1:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that every single day and be able to have such

1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a positive attitude, And I think that's one thing that

1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll forever be grateful when of her. You know, you

1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>sit there and say, like I played with that guy Jeremy,

1:02:46.520 --> 1:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>how you'd be like? Man? That was That was one

1:02:48.400 --> 1:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of the people I really like, kind of looked up

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to and admired during my playing days.

1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Absolute ripper, nicest guy. He would always, you know, go

1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the extra mile for us when we're in the media department. Yeah,

1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>met him a few times on other podcasts outside of Footy.

1:03:02.320 --> 1:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Had a couple of beers with him. He's just a

1:03:04.440 --> 1:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>ripping black I had twelve, he had probably a responsible

1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>one or two. And before we go into our preview,

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I did want to bring up one more incident from

1:03:11.640 --> 1:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the weekend text walker, you know, massive legend of the game.

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Big text went off subbed bad I poke bad ipoke,

1:03:20.880 --> 1:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So he was sitting on the back of the bench, miserable.

1:03:24.200 --> 1:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>We don't like im for getting a phone call.

1:03:27.120 --> 1:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and hold the wrong wayting.

1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:32.640
<v Speaker 2>A little brigade together the I poke all Australian list.

1:03:32.720 --> 1:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well you got Roy Sloan had a real big

1:03:34.560 --> 1:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>issue with it throughout his kind of career. So yeah,

1:03:37.160 --> 1:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, we'll see kind of that pans out, but hey,

1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>pros up hopefully. All right, it's quite serious.

1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>We don't like I pokes at all. Let's go into

1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the preview for the week Essen and Sydney here in Melbourne.

1:03:49.880 --> 1:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that I can look at Esmond and

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>get around them at all.

1:03:53.480 --> 1:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't yeh, yeah, No, Sydney. I've got this feeling

1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>in the next two games to finish off the year,

1:04:02.760 --> 1:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Sydney's going to go on a terror.

1:04:04.520 --> 1:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they kind of have to go back to being

1:04:07.360 --> 1:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the fight on top of the ladder. You've got to

1:04:09.400 --> 1:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>get that momentum back. Let's talk about Gold Coast Melbourne.

1:04:12.880 --> 1:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Melbourne's packed her up for the year. Gold

1:04:14.840 --> 1:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Coast still seems to be punching, still seems to be fighting.

1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>They've got a bit of excitement around the team and

1:04:19.680 --> 1:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>around the list.

1:04:21.320 --> 1:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>What you after last week beating in by one point?

1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, big gold Coast, Gold Coast over Melbourne.

1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I picked that one.

1:04:27.360 --> 1:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, GWS FREEO. This is going to be my lock

1:04:30.240 --> 1:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>because I looked at it. There's too many easy locks

1:04:33.680 --> 1:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>this week, and we don't like easy locks. We like

1:04:35.600 --> 1:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>putting the putting the balls on the line for the

1:04:37.680 --> 1:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>cuck lock.

1:04:38.880 --> 1:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Ah we go.

1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go GWS to get this win against Freo.

1:04:45.040 --> 1:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Frio is fighting for finals, so they're going to be desperate.

1:04:48.000 --> 1:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>But I just feel like GWS are going to be

1:04:50.400 --> 1:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>that good.

1:04:51.000 --> 1:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I have to go g WS for free

1:04:53.280 --> 1:04:55.280
<v Speaker 1>on Freo. Like you said, it's got an interesting little

1:04:55.400 --> 1:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>finish to the season. It's going to be unique to

1:05:00.040 --> 1:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>see kind of what happens with them. That's a big

1:05:01.640 --> 1:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>watch to have a little watch out for free. I'm

1:05:03.600 --> 1:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>going to check the stats and the scores, have a

1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>have a lookout for how they're going. Let's go to

1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the next one we got. They got WS No. One.

1:05:10.000 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>We've got the Showdown up next Port v Adelaide, so

1:05:12.800 --> 1:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>anything can happen in this one. Obviously Adelaide coming off

1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a big win last week and Porte doing port things

1:05:19.160 --> 1:05:19.640
<v Speaker 2>at the moment.

1:05:20.320 --> 1:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, port going really well. Adelaide also, like I said,

1:05:23.840 --> 1:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>taking teams to the line. Obviously got to win over

1:05:26.680 --> 1:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the weekend against the Western Bulldogs. Big w. I think

1:05:29.720 --> 1:05:31.919
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a lot closer gain than people probably think.

1:05:32.640 --> 1:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I've still got Port Adelaide winning at Adelaide at Oval.

1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be a good game. I think the

1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>showdown might be like the game of the round as

1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>far as how close it's going to be. Yeah, I'm

1:05:43.880 --> 1:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>happy to Yeah, I'm happy to make that statement.

1:05:45.840 --> 1:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll give it to Adelaide just because, like you

1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>really can't pick it. And I know Port needs to

1:05:51.920 --> 1:05:55.400
<v Speaker 2>be Cherry Wright, but I feel like Adelaide, you know,

1:05:55.600 --> 1:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the season's done, what can you get up for for

1:05:58.600 --> 1:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year. Them fully rallied for this game,

1:06:02.040 --> 1:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and it'd be like the idea of spoiling finals for

1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>porn will motivate them more than anything, and they're an

1:06:08.640 --> 1:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>exciting team when they get up and running. When you

1:06:10.920 --> 1:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>have nothing to lose, you just attack with absolute freedom.

1:06:15.720 --> 1:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>So let's see how that goes. Saint Kilda Geelong. Now

1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't see Saint Kilda doing this, but you know,

1:06:23.120 --> 1:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to see it, but I just don't see it.

1:06:27.080 --> 1:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make a controversial statement here, what go

1:06:31.240 --> 1:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to Saint Kildo win in this game. I've got this feeling,

1:06:35.000 --> 1:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I've just got this feeling that Saint Kilda just kind

1:06:37.440 --> 1:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>of bobs up out of nowhere and just says, you

1:06:40.440 --> 1:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>know what, Gelong, you've looked past us. We're gonna we're

1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a little We're to have a care. I'll

1:06:47.560 --> 1:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>throw that one because it's a statement. But like I

1:06:49.760 --> 1:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>think Saint Kilda will at least have a quarter, maybe

1:06:53.800 --> 1:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the first or second quarter, which along will be a

1:06:56.280 --> 1:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>bit oh wow, we should probably turn things on now.

1:06:59.080 --> 1:07:02.080
<v Speaker 2>It does make sense. You know, they built themselves up

1:07:02.160 --> 1:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>for the Perth game against Freo, went across there, got

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>the win. You got to travel all the way back.

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>You got to readjust your time. Not only do you

1:07:09.520 --> 1:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>have to travel, you've got to travel back to Melbourne

1:07:12.000 --> 1:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and then travel all the way back to Geelong, which

1:07:14.160 --> 1:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>is another you know thing in itself.

1:07:16.520 --> 1:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But I'm going to something that's different. I like that

1:07:19.200 --> 1:07:20.479
<v Speaker 1>one they killed getting over Jaelong.

1:07:20.600 --> 1:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I like that Western Bulldogs beaten North. Yeah, that's that's

1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>an easy dub log Richmond, Oh my god, West Coast Carlton.

1:07:29.840 --> 1:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Carlton on the terms of yeah, that was like four

1:07:34.160 --> 1:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>or five, Like, so did a hamstring?

1:07:36.040 --> 1:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to say something, Well, as we record this,

1:07:38.080 --> 1:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>we don't know what Harry McKay is doing. Kono is

1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>cooked with his ankle.

1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Injured. There's two others on so they got injured too, Jack,

1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, West Coast, Yeah, I feel the West Coast.

1:07:57.960 --> 1:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the West Coast versus Carleton.

1:08:01.120 --> 1:08:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:08:02.120 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Man, that's going to be a dagger for Carlton fans

1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>if that happens. Yeah.

1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like and players get that same momentum that

1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>some fans do. Now. I love hate watching teams almost

1:08:11.760 --> 1:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>as much as I like supporting teams. So like, I

1:08:15.560 --> 1:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>do like a Collingwood game, but I like seeing the

1:08:18.640 --> 1:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>teams I don't like perform poorly.

1:08:21.600 --> 1:08:24.439
<v Speaker 1>That's literally you're every fan, but just in the reverse

1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>for Collingwood. Yeah, every fan loves lose se.

1:08:28.920 --> 1:08:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So like, I love a team that's on the precipice

1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:35.679
<v Speaker 2>of the eighty and if they get this win against

1:08:35.720 --> 1:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the lowly team, they'll make the eight. But then the

1:08:38.960 --> 1:08:42.880
<v Speaker 2>lowly team, the underdog, gets the job done. There's just

1:08:43.000 --> 1:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>nothing better than it. It's pure theatrics, and I want

1:08:46.680 --> 1:08:47.920
<v Speaker 2>West Coast to win this game.

1:08:48.200 --> 1:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>West Coast hardly ready to take a hangar, That's what

1:08:51.360 --> 1:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I must say.

1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:56.439
<v Speaker 2>The mud flat Waterman to kick four and Oscar Alan to.

1:08:56.479 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Kick Fourt's jump in Erman still playing that making it

1:09:03.280 --> 1:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>in things like that.

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Don't Collingwood Brisbane the Grand Final rematch probably not the

1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:13.160
<v Speaker 2>billing that it's you know, built up that we'd expect

1:09:14.360 --> 1:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>at the MCG. Can you spoil them? Can you spoil

1:09:18.360 --> 1:09:20.040
<v Speaker 2>their run to the top four and finals?

1:09:20.400 --> 1:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the plan? Is the plan stand at the MCG.

1:09:24.000 --> 1:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>It'd be a yeah, a Grand Final rematch. It's kind

1:09:26.960 --> 1:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of interesting to kind of see how both teams have

1:09:30.040 --> 1:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of panned out throughout the year after being in

1:09:31.920 --> 1:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the Grand Final last year. But yeah, Brisbane's a quality

1:09:35.240 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>opposition that's going really well. I know they lost last week,

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>but like you said, I think they had won nine

1:09:39.360 --> 1:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in a row previously, so it's going to be a

1:09:41.040 --> 1:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>challenge for us. And statistically, I think we're still a

1:09:44.080 --> 1:09:46.519
<v Speaker 1>chance to make the eight. So you know, as long

1:09:46.560 --> 1:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>as that's a you know out there and availability, we're

1:09:49.760 --> 1:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>going to put one foot in front of the other

1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and you do as much as we can try to

1:09:52.600 --> 1:09:53.639
<v Speaker 1>get as many wins on the board.

1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Love that one foot in front of the other. Good cliche.

1:09:57.120 --> 1:09:59.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's it. That's our podcast which cock Lock

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I gave mine to GWe.

1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Got gold coaster from Melbourne.

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just good enough.

1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>It's just good enough Mac Andrew to kick four. Yeah,

1:10:09.880 --> 1:10:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the Mac Andrew train. Baby, let's go. Oh man,

1:10:15.720 --> 1:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>let them have it, let him have it. Well, that

1:10:17.560 --> 1:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>is it for the podcast. Everyone, Thank you so much
