WEBVTT - AFL, Please Explain 🤔 Carlton's Comeback 🤯 Dusty The Sun ☀️ 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.879 Okay, Legends, without further ado, we're gonna get straight into 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.800 the podcast. Love to cover here, Brandon, Welcome to the. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:12.479 Pod, Mace. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.480 I got to say I was out. It was my 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.840 birthday this week, and it's your birthday this week, so 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.000 I hope you have a very happy birthday this week. 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.479 Everyone jump into his DMS and kind of even it 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:27.600 out a bit. But I was out to dinner and 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.800 I missed the start of the game. You know, all 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.280 that preamble, all that stuff that happened pre game, and 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.319 I was like, nothing will happened pre game? 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:34.840 It's fine. 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.440 I just fucked, wow, did something happen pre game? And 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.760 we're going to talk about that later in the episode. 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.520 But yeah, what do we I reckon, Let's jump into 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.440 the games, because last week we had a monster episode 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.960 and we need to just start ticking them over. But 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.760 we had some actual footy, even though it was round zero, 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.000 it was real stuff for real points. 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.480 It's actually it's not very tel stuff anymore, Braiden. This 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.200 is real stuff. We're getting into the real thick it 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.200 now and footy seasons final upon us and Round zero. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.800 We're gonna chest this out. Round zero. It's gonna do 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.640 my head in doing Round zero Run one, trying to 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.520 figure this out for the next couple weeks. But Round 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.200 zero and the first game that was up was Sydney 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.160 versus Melbourne The Rockman's Dream. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.600 Wait before we get into it, I want to issue 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.399 a please explain to the AFL. Seems we're just handing 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.240 them out. I don't know if you saw this, but 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.280 a graphic the AFL put out with Christian Petrarca and 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.120 Errol Golden mooning down the Sydney Harbor on a couple 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.680 of seeds to launch the season. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.280 Do they get approval before they go live for these things? 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.240 They just put their slap their face on whatever they want. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.200 I don't even know what the hell they're doing. How's 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.280 that relevant in any way, shape or form? Why seedews? 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.880 There is a Sydney you know, bridge in the background. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.320 I'll give them that, but I'm not really sure who's 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.240 in the background of the seeds and the choice of that, 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.880 I don't really Yeah, it was an interesting decision if 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:54.400 that went. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.080 Through layers of approval and they like love the jet skis, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.920 love everything about this. Actually, can we put some fire 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.559 works and some helicopters in the sky and then it's 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.760 it's good to go. But I just want to issuate, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.640 please explain for that one. But let's jump into it 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.600 because there was a nice touch off the top Vegus Brayshaw, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:16.400 unfortunately retiring through concussion only recently doesn't get to play 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.760 on from here. But Melbourne and Max Gorn, they had 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.440 the helmet up as the players ran out and they 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.919 each touched the helmet, which I thought was a touching 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.600 tribute to Angus. But that wasn't the only thing that 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.079 Max Gorn was involved in because it was all about 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.640 the rock battle. Max Gorn, Brody Grundy head to head. 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.760 Brody obviously playing at Melbourne last year playing he hardly 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.080 got a game so to go up there and you know, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.840 be unveiled as Sydney's ruckman. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.680 What did you make of that matchup. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.760 We talked about last week on the Pot. I loved it. 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.280 It was so good. It was just a one on 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.840 one battle. They were just duking it out the whole day, 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.880 like just just wrestling in the middle of the ground 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.800 like sooner bouts. Brody was coming across really hard, getting 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.640 into a space and as a ruckman who sees all 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.320 the little kind of things, of what they do against 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.400 each other to try to kind of one up each other. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.960 It was awesome viewing. I absolutely loved it, and like 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.480 we talked about who was going to win. I said, like, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.000 you know, I think Max get around the ground a 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.160 bit better, but Brody win the hitouts. It was pretty even, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.919 though I think Brody probably you know, was a bit 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.360 you know, I had a few more stats than the MAXI, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.320 but like, over the whole game, it was pretty even. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.240 I think anyone that's a fan of the rock craft 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.520 that goes into this kind of stuff would have just 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.720 absolutely loved that game. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.799 Yeah, it was interesting. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.480 I watched the commentary around it on Fox Footy and 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.760 it was a rollercoaster, to say the least. At halftime 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.520 they were given it to Max Gone. Such a one 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:47.440 sided affair, really, that horse put on Hayden MacLean onto 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.360 Max Gone because Grundy just couldn't go with him. It 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.880 was one sided and it was all over from there. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.720 At the end of the game they were saying, Brody 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.840 Grundy dismantled Max Gone, he was cooked, he was out 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.360 of his feet. Now it's going to be the blueprint 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.800 for all rucks going forward and all hail Brody Grundy. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.960 It was very interesting commentary on it. But yeah, I 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.160 did think that maybe Brody in the whole, over the 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.840 whole course of the game got him. But there were 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.400 some moments where you could see both rucks just getting 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.520 through the middle of the ground. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:21.720 They were both exhausted. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.320 They did a lot of running, a lot of pack 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.599 to pack stuff, and yeah, they were literally walking through 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.880 the middle of the ground. But then, as we always 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.200 see with Max Gorn, you see him walking in the 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.839 middle of the ground and then he's in the pack 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.839 in the goal square. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:36.760 He just gets there. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.440 He's a guy that has a tank right Like. I 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.039 wouldn't say Max Gon are many ruckmen in general, right like, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.120 have a max speed that's like a flat out sprint 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.320 that's going to rival anyone else on the team. But 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.560 his contest to contest work is what's so impressive. He's 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.279 got that I guess that speed to get from one 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.919 to another. It's not lightning fast, but it's enough to 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.479 be able to make sure that every contest downline he's there, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.359 to be able to make a presence, and he takes 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.680 clanks down line like that's one of his big kind 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.960 of you know, things he's added to his game, had 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.200 in his game for a long time is his ability 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.200 with his hands just take massive, like massive massive, I 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.720 guess momentum shifters whenever you have a big man down 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.760 the line, take a mark and he essentially lose one 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.680 hundred meters of territory whenever that happens, getting him a 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.480 kick knacks. So he's an incredible rockman, both of them are. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.520 It was a great watch over the weekend. Brody very 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.240 close with them. It was I loved it and I 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.039 actually I actually ran into Max after the game. He 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.200 was at the hotel and just chatting to him like 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.440 and he's just like, man, it was so humid, like 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.880 it was insane, and you know, they just duked it 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.000 out for four for two hours straight. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.000 It was a very ugly game, wasn't it. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.640 And they threw down to Jude Bolton on the bench 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.840 and they said, Jude, is it wet down there? Because 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.400 it's like a bar of soape. They can't handle it. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.640 And he said, no, it's fine, it's fine down here. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.120 Within five minutes he was like Jesus Jewy down here, boys, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.960 But yeah, I want to get your thoughts on a 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.760 tactic that I got Brody Grundy implemented, and it was 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.040 very obvious from the opening bounce he was waiting. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.760 As soon as it was bounced, he sprinted. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.839 Across the center line and kind of took away Maxcorn's 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.160 space straight away. And then I was wondering if that's 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.480 something that he learned at his time at Melbourne or 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.000 if it's just something more broad that Ruckman have been 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.360 looking at with Maxcorn's game. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.080 Well, I think it's probably the change in the ruling 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.400 of being able to come across and use your arms 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.360 and kind of stiff arm stuff, and like, as long 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.120 as he gets back to the ball, there's no issue 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.360 with it. But with Max can he's a good jumper. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.760 I know Brody like he essentially made it a ball 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.279 up And we've talked about this of like what the 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.599 center bounds will eventually become right and the center bounce 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.720 we think in five to ten years will end up 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.320 just being a ball up. They won't want as many 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.440 injuries if someone sticking knees into each other and no 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.520 shin guards needed in games and stuff like that, right 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.560 where Brody essentially just took that to the next level 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.120 where he's like, I'm going to force this into a 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.839 ball up. I'm going to sprint across and then just 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.520 body you and then we can just duke it out 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.360 from there and figure out where the ball lands. Different 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.159 look to what I've probably seen in the past of 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.000 what Brody do or what Brodie's done, but it was 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.960 it was an interesting tacting. It worked like it wasn't like, 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.760 you know, Max was getting on top and being able 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.640 to get these like incredible hits that were outside of 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.280 the circle and being able to kind of get space 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.880 for his midfielders. It just became essentially a ball up 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.119 in the center of the ground for every single center bounds. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.000 It seemed like, yeah, it seemed like it took a 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.360 while for Max to you know, counter that come up 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:25.880 with something to be like what it was. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.320 Just it was very out of the box. 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.440 But it was great by Brodie to, you know, at 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.520 least try something to negate his influence. Now, I want 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.200 to say something that I thought things that we look 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.640 at for that we just enjoy Nick Blakey running through 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:39.040 the middle of. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.560 The roa lizard and he's just got his. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:46.080 Thing going and he gets around multiple players. He always 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.680 does the fake kick and then he gets around him. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.720 He did that like three times on the wing and 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.040 then he's kicking inside fifty is insane. He just always 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.080 hits the target and it's just something that always brings 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.520 a smile to my face. And I'm watching Sydney games 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.120 and he's and lizard in full flight running through the middle. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:04.760 It's just something that I love to watch. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.600 It's such an important rule for teams. I think if 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.360 it's someone to break that lines from like you know, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.440 defense to midfield to forwards, and he just like floors 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.200 through all three lines essentially, like is able to get 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.800 from one one end to the other. I mean those 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.640 people like it. It really kind of you know, I 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.040 guess kickstarts your offense, especially on turnover if he can 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.440 get the ball and just kind of drive legs and 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.880 be able to get it all the way out to 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.360 the to the deepest forwards. Like that's an invaluable role 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.760 that every single club kind of has someone that does that, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.200 Like we we have like Q like dark people drivers 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.839 legs every once in a while and try to break lines. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.360 Like there's people even O Lag, Like there's people with 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.960 every club that kind of does that. But Nick the 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.200 way he does it, like he's Oh, it's so good. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.640 I just it just kind of how unique it looks 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.680 is what I think I love the most about it. Yeah, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.880 Like it's just there's something about him and the fact 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.000 that he's named lizard. It is perfect, like that is 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:56.400 the greatest, like just deductive reasoning of exactly what he 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.439 looks like whenever he runs. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.920 There's a few of them when the crowd slowly starts 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.880 to build up. It's always awesome to see something that was, 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.000 you know, courageous and you'll love to see it. But 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.600 unfortunately I had a negative result was Jake Bowie putting 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.920 himself in kind of the hole against Justin mcinnernie to 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.199 get hurt, but to you know, stop an easy mark 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.520 inside fifty for Sydney. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.280 I was very courageous of him. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.640 He seemed to have hurt his shoulder in some way 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.240 and has come from the ground. But I just wanted 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.839 to flag that as something that was it was he knew, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.840 I think the commentator said it. He it looked like 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.440 he knew that he was going to get hurt. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.240 But he just had the feelings too. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.360 It's like you gotta stick yourhead in the hole. You 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.040 got to go back with a fly or something like that. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.679 You know, it's not going to be a good feeling. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.640 You're gonna get freaking smacked. Yeah, but it's just part 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.200 of the game. You got to do it, and it's 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.640 like it's never it's an uneasy feeling just being out 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.959 there and having to do it. Yeah, unfortunate to come 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.160 up with a bit of a you know, I guess 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.320 a bit of not necessarily a big injury. We haven't 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.640 really got the details to it, but yeah, for that 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.839 to have and is never ideal. Whenever it's part of 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.000 the game you kind of have to commit to. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.000 It's always extra courageous when it's a little feller putting 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.480 himself in there. But yeah, we hope all the best, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.640 all the best with whatever injury comes out of it. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.640 Something that we don't like to see and something that 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.360 you know it was bound to come up straight away 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.000 because there's been a tribunal rule change. But George Hewitt 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.560 has got a fine for his punch on Lucky. Now. 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.640 Now, this was an interesting one because it looks like. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.800 It glances his shoulder and then punches him square in 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.040 the face. Really not with a tremendous amount of force, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.040 but that's okay for me. To say because I didn't 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:41.160 get punched in the face. But the new AFL Tribunal 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.240 guideline says that those types of shots can be classified 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.360 as intentional in twenty twenty four and could carry a 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.800 one match ban. Now it won't I can tell you 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.600 it won't for the rest of the season because this 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:57.640 set the precedent. He punched him in the face, intentional 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.280 or not. It's class as intentional because you shouldn't be punching. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.120 And whether you like it or you don't, whether you 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.240 think it should be a week or not, the one 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.440 way to stamp it out is to make it a week. Yeah, 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:15.000 Like players haven't clearly haven't changed their behavior off fines, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.760 so we might not like to see this be given 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.280 a week, But now it sets the precedent. None moving 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.360 forward from here will get a week because they'll just 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.640 show this vision and they'll go, well, he didn't get 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:27.400 a week, why should I. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.800 Yeah, well, there's the weather adjudicated kind of the MRO stuff, 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.840 and like you know, whether you're fined or suspended, there's 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.120 like a chart and he goes, you know, heart contact, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.160 you know, is it you know, did he mean to 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:38.960 do it? Did he not mean to do it. There's 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.840 like a whole kind of dissection of how it's all 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.760 kind of determined. And yeah, I mean you look at 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.360 this and it's as one as I think you kind 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:47.480 of like hit him the chest and kind of like 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.080 went up from there, and like, yeah, that sometimes does happen. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.480 Like someone's like, you know, sweaty, and you sit there 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.839 and you go to like hit him with the palm 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.160 of your hand in the chest and then they like 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:57.840 move or something at the same time you're like hand 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.840 just kind of slips up. You know. It's I don't 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.120 know much forces in that or them to know how 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.000 much forces into it, but that does kind of happen 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.319 in games whenever you kind of get a bit of 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.480 a scuffle, it can happen. But yeah, it's it's it's 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.280 I don't know. I think it's one of those things 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.320 that AFL is going to crack down on, like all 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.480 the kind of pushing and shoving off ball, all the 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.520 kind of stuff that you know, you see and a 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.160 lot of people enjoy, to be honest with you. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.920 But when because I know, because now one thing like 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.160 an accidental it would never slip up if you didn't 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.800 throw a punch and he had a clenched fist punched 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.520 him in the shoulder and it slipped up and hit 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.120 him in the face. And the rule change is meant 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.640 to be there to stop this, to stop that punch 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.360 being thrown in the first place, because accidents do happen, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:42.080 is it. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.880 The biggest thing is well, not your closed fists to 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.720 open first? Is that the biggest well. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.960 To punch Well, if your karate chopped them hit him 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.960 in the face. I think the underlying rule is stop 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.840 trying to like this fake bravado anyway, stop punching or 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.199 like karate chopping. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:00.000 Just stop. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.280 But in general, don't throw a punch and you accidentally 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:04.439 won't hit someone in the face. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:05.480 Pretty simple. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.600 Nothing should be close first that you're hitting anyone worth. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.360 To be honest, we've seen people, you know, take all 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.360 the cheap shots here and there, and I think the 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.360 open palm is the way to go about it. You're 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.040 going to hit someone, your open palm use kind of 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.600 like the base of your wrist, right and you kind 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.160 of hit someone in the chest. That's kind of like 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.040 almost like pushing off someone to go lead. And I 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.600 think that's you know, that's what's acceptable. But anything that's 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.240 like close fist like that. You know there's going to 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.600 be ramifications for. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.480 It, and it could spark a malle Now we don't 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.240 want to be sparking. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.160 We're really teasing into the next little bit of. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.600 This to a game that was an absolute car crash 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:42.800 if you're a Brisbane supporter. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:43.960 Brisbane v. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.560 Carlton up at the GABATOI now they can't win at 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.200 the Gabba or at the MCG which is kind of 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.760 sad for Brisbane fans. Eighty five to eighty six, Carlton 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.760 getting the victory after Brisbane held a demanding commanding leader 0:13:58.559 --> 0:13:59.960 forty seven points up. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.120 They were mace. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.600 I went to bed. This was this was a day 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.320 before a game, right of the night before a game. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.520 I got to halftime. I was like, you know, that's 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.040 just the Gabba and it's the Fortress, and yeah, just 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.600 expect this to kind of be what the you know, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.480 what the outcome was going to be. And I go 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.800 to breakfast the next morning and everyone's like, you did 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.960 you watch the game? Yeah? I watched half the game. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.960 They got the gym. How crazy was it? And I 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.640 was like, yeah, they really went out to a big 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.480 lead early, and you know, and They're like yeah, and 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.320 then Carlton came back and was able to win by 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.040 Sorry what I was like, what happened? They're like, yeah, 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.000 Carlton won by point. I was like, oh my gosh, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.800 I'm sorry. I got so much to catch up on 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.040 what the when the world was going on. So I 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.320 came on to a bit of walk up to a 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.560 bit of a shock, to be honest, But yeah, it's 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.600 a credit Tom. Like, it's not an easy place to 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.800 go up there, and when we talked about the fortresses 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.840 and the reason it's named the Fortress and for them 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.920 to be able to the gab Its Fortress, but it's 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.160 it's a tough place to win. Them to come back, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.760 like we talked about last week, like in the pre 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.560 land that they played at the Carlton was able to 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.720 kick a good score early and like this is kind 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.080 of reversed. They essentially kicked a really good score late. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.960 So Carlton has a bit of a history of being 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.840 able to play well up there. Well, it's been a 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.960 full game, like hasn't happened yet, but like they've definitely 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.800 shown that they can win a game up there and 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.760 be able to show their best at the Gabba. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.040 It was a massive win by them because saying that 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.440 what we said last week, going in there was a 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.760 lot of pressure to perform and it was definitely put 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.480 on them by purpose. But they delivered and it didn't 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.040 look like they were going to deliver to come back 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.040 from forty seven points down away from. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:35.880 Home on the road. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.480 Massive, massive win. Sad stories to come out of this, though. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:44.640 Kiddeon Coleman ACL now he's one of Brisbane's, if not 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.320 the most important player on the team coming off half backs, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.400 the ball user, amazing skills by foot, was great in 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:57.200 the finals last year, great in the Grand Final. Shocking 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.720 to see him go down. He was kind of tackled 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.440 and he leg hyper extended. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.280 It's right at the half like kind of one of 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.080 those yeah tackle getting kicked at the same time, and 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.320 it's not easy to see because it's one of those 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.160 that's you know, it's just kind of kind of happens, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.200 and you go, okay, well he's gone down. They're taking 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.680 them down to the rooms and then whenever you see 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.440 kind of like the knee thing, you always you jump 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.400 straight to like worst case right, yeah ACL, and you're like, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.160 oh my gosh, I hope this isn't it. And then 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.040 you get the news yeah, day or so later that 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.280 that's the case, and you know that that means essentially 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.520 the season's over. It's a gut punch to Bill's to know. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.640 I mean, like even like myself, like to see another 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.360 person who's in the league, who's another player, to see 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.240 that happen to him. It's it's not easy, like you 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.600 just you want the best people playing. You want the 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.520 best people playing at their best to give the best 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.760 kind of entertainment. And whenever people go down with a 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.280 major injury like that, you know they're going to be 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.720 out for a significant amount of time. It's never fun 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.240 to see. It's just it kind of hits you hard 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.040 because you see, you know people have done it, you know, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.360 and then you know people have gone through the same 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.080 circumstance and had to go through the hard yards to 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.440 come back, and it's it's not an easy feet to do. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.680 And speaking of Sam Dougherty went down ACL as well, 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:06.560 two acls in. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.360 The one game. This was on his good knee. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.440 Yeah, and he's yeah knee issues in the past. He's 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.920 obviously had a rough road and it was a bit 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.960 more innocuous, like kind of grabbed that had it played 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.000
