We talk about Essdon 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.760 well or not they can break the who do make 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.360 it the finals? Get that w on the board. And lastly, 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.720 for the clanger of the week, we have a guest 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.880 and he is one of the absolute legends of the 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.200 IFL and it is an absolute golden nugget too. You 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.280 won't want to miss it, so listen and tune in. 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:36.479 Let's get into it without further ado, Let's get into it. 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.280 Welcome Brighton Cox, get a mace. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:38.600 Now. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.479 We got to jump straight into the clanger because as 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.080 soon as I saw this, it's clanger gold. Yes, Nick 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.080 lost it, Richmond, Yes, he was caught cold holding the 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:53.440 ball like cold, so he uh, you know, took the 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.080 mark played on had no awareness of what was happening 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.360 around him, tackled holding the ball, you know how, guys, 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:05.039 Simon Meredith, very experienced umpire. Simon Meredith comes over and 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.240 Nick Flosson's a bit you know, he's a bit miffed 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.480 with himself, so he's projecting outwards. It's everyone else's problem 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:16.040 and everyone else's fault. He screams, this is embarrassing, Mace, 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.840 which it was. It was very embarrassed. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.640 D fifty either having a search off for Goald, the 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:21.400 hall game stops. 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.040 He's not lying at this point, but Simon Meredith wasn't 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.640 having any of it, and he says back to him, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.759 just just as cold as he was caught holding the ball. 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.399 He just says back to him, not for me, mate, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.399 ooh nice in his veins. Hit him with the clap back. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.039 I think descent rule is out the window, but this 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.280 is actually going to be more effective than the descent 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.320 if you ever start talking shit in an umpire and 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.760 you know that he can come back with something that cold. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.400 And he's miked up, you know he's parked up. So 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.440 it's going to be a good one. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.200 That'll do a hell of a lot more than paying 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.520 any fifty meter penalty. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.360 Damn damn thing just to go through it. I have 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.000 an umpire just cut you down like that. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:58.680 It was very good. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.520 It's very very quick married you. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.279 Know personality from the umpires. We love that. Well done, Simon. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.640 Now I can imagine that your clang is going to 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.000 be pretty easy. Clanger. Two weeks in a row, three 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.720 misses back to back to back. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.079 Yeah, you would think so. But there's another clanger that 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.040 I want to bring out, and it's a good one. Yes, yeah, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.600 well I wouldn't say worse. It's it's it's it's involving 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.000 someone else, right and myself, And there's a bit of 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.000 an exchange, you might say, over the weekend. And I'm 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.919 bringing this person onto the podcast. Is I want to 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.560 I want to dissect this. I want to go straight 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.480 through the details of this, and we're going to figure 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.560 this out together. So we've brought on the amazing, amazing 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.560 Jamar google Hagen, the absolute legend. Number two for the 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.959 Western Bulldogs and then No. One draft picking twenty twenty, 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.160 an absolute legend. Welcome to the podcast. Now I've got 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.640 to walk this through and maybe I'd like to hear 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.120 from your side, probably more than anything, kind of walk 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.600 us through exactly what happened in the game. I mean, 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.680 at this point, I think you were kicking two goals 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.560 already and you're smashing us in the air and you're 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:56.520 having a pretty good day out. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.960 I'm going to say that, yeah, well obvious, so pretty excited, 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.720 playing a few blokes and top of the ladder. But 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.239 went out there and I was happy with my game 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.480 at the start, and then obviously took a mark and 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.400 you come and stood the marker, and then I couldn't 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.080 really see the girls behind you anyway. But I just 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.200 once I kicked it, I was like, mate, that's gone 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.119 straight through the middle place. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.359 That I'm going to give you. I'm going to get 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.440 into you like you get to the other people. I'll 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.800 get into it because I know we. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.680 Me and you have a pretty good connection, but we 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.200 don't hate each other or anything like that. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.600 So I thought I'd be a pisstake. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.280 And then next minute and just the ball started coming 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.520 back out and I sent you that photo of where 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:38.640 I'm just getting in here. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.240 But Jeremy how I was just leading in the background 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.720 to get the ball off Duzzy ball. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.720 I was kind of pissed off with your teammates because 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.240 you think they'd play it out and get on the 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:47.840 line and you know. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:48.640 SHEPD it over. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.800 But at the end of the day, it's kind of 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.040 it's a bit embarrassing, but I just top it on 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:53.280 the chin. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.680 I'm a big fan of it. If I talked shit, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.120 I got to be able to take shit at the 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.400 same time. So if you if you're there and you 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.640 can give it. I'm all for it, man. But it 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.880 was It was so funny because I think whenever i'd 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.280 even like, I don't know if I think we're in 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.440 the same ideas, whenever you kicked it, it struck it really well, 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.480 and I was like, fuck, this is probably going through. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.320 And then you got into me and I was like, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.320 all right, let's go, let's go. It's on, let's go. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.720 That's all about it. And it was probably like five 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.600 seconds till I actually realized the play was still going there. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.320 I've got ship go back. 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.320 Came over to celebrate with me, and then you realized 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.800 that it didn't go through, so we just had to 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.000 quickly get on defense. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.640 We've all been there. I feel like we've all been there, mate. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:35.920 But I don't think anyone's been there. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.160 It was from fifty It is a decent Why it's 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.960 a decent Why well, I want to ask you this 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.480 because it is quite timely, but also, Nate Doock Week 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.000 was last week. Is there anything specially you did for 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:47.640 Nadock Week? 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.440 I was obviously famous to celebrate outs, so I did 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.520 a little presentation at the Western Bulldogs in front of 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.000 the boys. I played a little music care like a 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.599 song which is played by one of me uncle's archie Roach, 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.800 and it's just took the children right away. So that 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.680 was just based on my community and where it was 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.599 and what he sings in that and all the words 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.760 he says in that is exactly what happened on my 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.920 community where I grew up. So that was a bit 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.000 of a I don't know, a bit of a hit 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.320 for the boys. Kind of gave him a hit, that 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.720 bit of reality check and it didn't happen that long ago, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.719 but it was pretty impressive that the coach and the 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.080 staff let me do that. So that's my main thing 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.800 that I did this week. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.120 Beautiful man, it's it's been impressive as an outsider looking 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.480 into to yourself the Western Bulldogs and the way you've 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.880 handled yourself. Man, it's been incredible. The role model you've 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.800 been able to become, what you've been able to do 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.880 for the community, and continuing to be that person in 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.520 the media that stands up for what's right. Man, it's 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.159 pretty incredible. It's it's an honor going out and playing 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.599 with your man, because you're an absolute legend and doing 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:49.039 things like this. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:49.320 Now. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.880 I love having a little a little bit of a 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.240 laugh and the fact that you can take it in 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.400 stride means that it means a lot and shows a 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.279 bit of your character also, mate, So massive, massive, thank 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.560 you for coming on man, and hopefully we'll see you 0:05:59.640 --> 0:05:59.919 comes up. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:00.560 Is that all right? 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.680 Easy? True? All right? Thanks you for having me right. 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.240 One of the funniest moments on a football field. There's 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.000 a bit of beef. Bit of beef and it was 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.839 a good fine and now we look back, we can 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.680 all have a smile, laugh and they are credit to him. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.600 Credit to him for coming on, having a bit of 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.520 a laugh of himself, you know, and like you know, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.320 just taking it in stride. Not many people would do that. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.000 So he's an absolutely legend. He's going really well and 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.040 it's great to see him absolutely smashing it on the 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:22.640 football field. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.320 When you're a number one draft pick center half forward, 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:26.720 I think you've got to have a bit of thick 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:27.160 skin there. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:27.440 Now. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.680 It was good to see, but it was very reminiscent. 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.039 It's very Mason Cox esque. I think that he's he 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.839 might have been watching some tape because he's given you 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:35.680 the Mason Cox. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.839 I'm just saying that the jack in the box gets 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:38.400 another w. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.120 He did say that he couldn't see the goals past year, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.719 so you know it's working. There's maybe five gold posts there, Jesus, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.080 one little one right up the middle. Let's jump into 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.080 the footy mace. Richmond, Sydney, MCG. Just a bit of 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.080 a dreary, rainy little session down there at the MCG. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.160 Thursday night. We love a Thursday night night. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.120 It was actually the first good Thursday night game that 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.200 I can remember for a long long time. We've normally 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.400 started the weekends off terribly. But Richmond Sidney was great. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.560 Richmond getting the dub, which you know, it makes it 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.440 a bit hard for Sydney looking for that final eight spot. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.600 Richmond one step closer. A lot of teams going for 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.320 that top eight spot now they're going to be probably 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.760 with our one player, the nanc Nack the tankod game too. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.160 He did have a good game, but he's going to 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.400 get a good suspension because it's pretty cut and dry 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.080 that one, I imagine. But that wasn't the biggest talking 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.320 point out of this game. Lance Buddy Franklin. Is it 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.080 his last game at the MCG? Was it? Maybe we 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.760 might see him here. I don't know if we'll ever 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.320 see him again it might. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.400 Be Buddy's last game? Geez, I think it was. Seriously, 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.679 every other minute they were mentioning it. It was Scott 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.880 Pendlebury played basketball as a kid. Did you know a 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.800 Mason Cox's American? Did you know? It was just on 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.680 replay the whole game and credits to Buddy. He's had 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.760 an amazing career. So if it is his last game there, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.480 it's great to look back on some of the memories 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.240 he's created there and some of the history's created there. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.960 But we don't know. I don't even know if he's 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.640 going to play next year. Why are we like literally 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.920 trying to force this guy into being his last game. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.560 They actually mentioned it so many times I started to 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.559 fear for his welfare. I was like, what does Channel 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.640 seven know? What are they going to do to the 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.400 poor bloke? But yeah, obviously a very amazing career, plenty 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.240 of good footy at the mcg kick two. A bit 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.280 hard to the inconsistency coming in and out of the side, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:31.160 getting rested managed, you know, injuryws so it's yeah, wet 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.960 game for the bigs. You would know how difficult that is. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.360 But hopefully we see just plenty more of Buddy just 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.640 absorb it up before whenever the end does, because it 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.800 does come for everyone. Mate. Now Jacob Bauer was talking 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.240 about the opposite end of the spectrum. This kid playing 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.040 his very first game, and look the goods streaming down 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.079 the wing. One two passage of play, hit up the 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.120 leading option, looks great. Cut the mum in the crowd. 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.960 She was up and about as you would be because 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.359 it's your son's dream. He's out there on the MCG 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.800 running around, touching the pill. It's great. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:04.600 Love mom cam. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.320 I love the mom cam. But unfortunately Jacob looks like 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.800 he's done. His hamstring was in a bit of a 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.959 denial there for a bit, which is I think we 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.240 all were. We wanted him to maybe it was a 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.360 quirky and maybe it was. But took a little bit 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.080 to get off onto the bench. Did take a little 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.800 bit of like, oh, maybe I'm good, maybe I'm not 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.760 overly too sure, let's just test it out again. And 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.120 I think the physio came over. I was like, mate, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.960 you're done. Yeah, you're running on all sorts of adrenaline 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.240 at that point. Surely it's like, mate, just cut it off, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.000 tape me up and get me back out there. But 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.080 Unfortunately he'll miss a bit, but you know, it was 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.400 great to see the boys getting around him on the bench, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.640 and you know, it's one tiny blip in what will 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.200 hopefully be a good career because his first two touches. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.520 You can at least live on that while you're doing rehab, 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.000 because it was like, mate, I was going to have 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.720 forty in kick two the way I was going. If 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.000 the game kept trending in the same fashion, you just 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:54.440 never know. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.800 It would be quite frustrating putting myself in his shoes, though, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.520 to have the family there, you get like twenty tickets right, everyone, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.480 to be in the change rooms after you celebrate to 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.080 win all that, and like and didn't have that kind 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.839 of hanging over you if you're not really having this 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.440 Cinderella story of a start of a career, And it'd 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.880 be quite frustrating to putting myself into his position. But yeah, 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.440 like we said, you know, his time that he spent 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.080 out there, he made the most of it, which hopefully 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.080 is a sign going forward that he's, you know, af 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:18.960 already foot. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.199 He can have the great, amazing, you know, Cinderella stories, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.600 but then there's so many that are the opposite of 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.760 the spectrum and it's it can be a brutal, harsh 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.200 game at times, but hopefully we see Jake ab out 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.320 there again soon. Let's jump into the Brisbane West Coast 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.120 game because we're going to jump in jump out of 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.520 this one because it wasn't a lot of action. One 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.120 awesome as thing to see though, was Jack Gunstack coming 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.520 back after you know, putting his hand up and saying 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.600 maybe I need some a spell or well, he came back. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.480 It definitely worked because he kicked six two upon return. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.840 That's not a bad start, not a bad start to 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.000 the back end of the year for him. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.199 Maybe more players should just have a week or two 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.200 after have a mini preseason. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.080 The fact that he came back and just kicked six, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.760 so yes, West Coast, it's like, you know, it's one 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.439 sixteen to thirty five, so it was a big win. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.320 But to have him at the top of the goal kicking, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.040 you know, ladder of it for them, it's it's pretty cool. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.440 It's cool to see him like take that time off 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.400 and realize in his self awareness that he needed a 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:12.640 bit of a brake come back to be able to 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.400 play at his best, and that's what he showed on 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.120 the weekend and it's a credit to Holm. How many 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:17.400 people would have the guts to do that. They just 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.120 grind through, you know, that tough part and then hopefully 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.199 things just magically turn around. But you know, he put 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.199 his hand up said, look, maybe I need to take 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.199 a step back before I can take his two steps forward. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.800 So credit Tom kicking six is not bad for a 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:30.840 return to the AFL level. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.360 Poo pew gun stand yes, pure. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.480 Pew sounds like Star Wars. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.120 Now and will Ashcroft jeezu. He's continuing on with his 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.360 impressive season twenty eight touches. It's going to come down 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.400 to a couple there for the rising star. It's actually 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.640 competitive this year. Yeah, I feel like previous years they 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.080 just blow it out of the water. But this is 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.840 a good year. A lot of youngsters coming through. Obviously, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.400 the fortress continues up there at the Gabba and they 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.480 might you know, they go away for a week, they 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.439 might lose, and then they come back and they win 0:11:59.440 --> 0:11:59.880 at the Gabba. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.040 So it's get their confidence back up. Of the time 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.720 they go. They know they're going to get a win 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.120 at home. They're just that good underneath the gab. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:10.920 Of lights when they're on. But yeah, They've got Melbourne 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.800 next week at the MCG, huge Friday night thriller, another 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.439 chance to prove that they can play at the MCG 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.480 against Melbourne against good competition. Last time they lost against Hawthorne, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.040 but you know, they Hawks seem to be their bogie team. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.120 They lose to Hawthorne, whereas you know, another crack at 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.680 it against Melbourne and they're absolutely flying. Like at the 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.199 moment Brisbane in that gap, you know, it goes Collingwood 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.600 Port up there to horse Race and then out beneath 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:40.440 them it goes Brisbane Port Daylight. The rest of the 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.679 scrubs trying to win a game. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.400 I think they're top fourteen. I think it'll be hopefully 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.480 us Port, Brisbane and probably Melbourne. I think might be 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.360 the last one. But there's gonna be obviously a big 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.320 top four game over the weekend trying to battle out 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.079 for the top four between Brisbane Melbourne. It's going to 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.600 be I think one of the games of the weekend 0:12:58.640 --> 0:12:58.960 for sure. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.840 It is a big game because it leaves the door 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.760 open if Melbourne lose, it leaves the door open for 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.480 another team to sneak up in there. Let's jump into 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.840 the next blockbuster because it was white Hot Mace Giants v. Horsorn. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:15.600 Favorite team you love the Giants, absolutely love them, and. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.000 What's not to love Mace because Jesse Hogan when he's 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.120 out there kicking snags one of the most consistent forwards 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.800 in the entire Australian Football League. I would say they're 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.480 really making a run for it because they're they're probably 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.600 one of the most informed teams in the comp at 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.520 the moment. They don't lose by big margins when they 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.679 do lose, and boy, they're not losing that often at 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.520 the moment. They're getting the dubs. So putting it right 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.880 up there that I reckon they can squeeze into that 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.000 last spot even you know they can go up above 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.520 that that you know, fifth through eighth is really open 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.640 now because it was just that eighth slot. But I 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:51.400 feel like, you know. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.360 One's one or two kind of games away from each 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.439 other that like every year of Felix k like that. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.559 No one's really seeming to like be putting their hand 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.120 up to just take it long have snuck their way 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.319 back up in there, which we'll touch on, but they 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.680 kind of give me the hebgbi's coming good finals time. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.680 You give a lot of love to j w As. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.400 Now I'm here to back in and give a bit 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.840 of love to Hawthorn. Right. We say it every single week. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.040 You know, they keep showing up, they keep fighting. I 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.120 mean they go down eighty five to seventy two in 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.760 this game, but the whole time they were coming back, 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.840 it wasn't like they laid down and just fell over 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.480 and so now we don't want to be here anymore. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.480 Up in Sydney, it's just the away game, We'll just 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.080 go home whatever. No, they actually put in a good 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.600 effort and like, yes they're not they're not finals hunting 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.640 at the moment, but they're not like you know, they're 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.000 not just giving up and just saying, you know, this 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.600 isn't our year and we're just going to go and 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:37.320 go to sleep. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.840 Well, they had a couple of disappointing performances in the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.760 lead up to this in their back to form, but 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.920 you're going to get that from you know, the Hawthorns 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.920 of the league, the North Melbourne of the league, where 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.640 it's like you can be competitive all the way through 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.520 and then you have one down day and with you 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.680 through your team it can drop off a bit. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.280 We digress. We'll move it to Saint Kilda versus Melbourne. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.920 A lot of hyper on this one because this is 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.720 a four and five spot and it was a good game. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.960 It was a good guy, It was a good game. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.720 Now you'd have to be living under a rock that's 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:10.720 under another rock if you didn't see Clayton Oliver's you know, Newsworthy, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.520 I would say the frustration that was on display for 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.560 the cameras down there at training where he was having 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.360 a bit of a back and forth with the fitness 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:24.240 guru down there in Melbourne. I heard so many you know, 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.440 journalists and media commentators and stuff, lip readers reading what 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.120 was being said. Now that out the window because we 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.760 don't know what was so no one does. So I 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.800 just want to ask, from a player's perspective, how heated 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.640 can some of these conversations get around the club when 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.760 you're talking about you know, if I was like, hey, Mace, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.040 you probably I think you're going to miss the next 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.200 five and you want to play the next five? Your 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.360 button heads there, like, how heated do these conversations get? 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.960 Well, there's probably three different directions of heat, right, So 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.040 you've got the coaches right, they want their best players 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.000 on the track. They're pushing you to be ready to go, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.240 so pushing all yourself. If they're also pushing the physios 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:02.640 and doctors to make sure you're going to get out 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.960 on the track as soon as possible, then you have 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.760 the personal side of things. Right you might be out 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.200 of contract, you might be trying to push to make 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:09.880 sure you're getting games so you're in the good team 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.080 that's gonna make it into the finals, all that kind 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.560 of stuff. Then you have the doctors. And the doctors 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.680 are there because they're there to tell you yes or no. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.400 But if they don't say no and you go out 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.080 and say yes and you do your hamstring again, you 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.600 know who the coach is looking at the doctor in 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.480 the physios and you say you should have done something different. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.720 So it's everyone that's trying to cover the bases, and 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.520 sometimes you need to push. Sometimes you need to push. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.400 People say I know my body best, I can do this. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.560 I can go do extra runs or extra sprints and 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:35.880 what not to be able to make sure I'm good 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.400 for the weekend, or you know, I need to do 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.040
