Speaker 1: sit down, listen in. Let's get into it all right
Speaker 1: without further ado, Welcome Brandon Nison. Troy, Oh god, he's
Speaker 1: thrown down the middle name.
Speaker 2: When did you learn how to play footy?
Speaker 1: What the hell was this? We've only had one good game, Brandon.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Lucky Eddies planned to put a roof
Speaker 2: on the MCAJ didn't come off because you would have
Speaker 2: blown the thing off.
Speaker 1: But good game, good game. Thanks mane quiet waken. I
Speaker 1: must before we go into this. I we got cleaner
Speaker 1: of the week. It's always how we start the podcast.

Speaker 1: He's coming on the podcast. We're gonna have a real
Speaker 1: deep dive into his career. And we had a bit
Speaker 1: of crossover there and it was kind of those things,
Speaker 1: you know, like he was the full four and then
Speaker 1: I became the full four and then you know, whoever's
Speaker 1: next now it's it's gonna be an interesting chat. So yeah,

Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great listener promise.
Speaker 2: And we yeah, Trav Cloak one of the nicest humans
Speaker 2: on the planet, the nicest. But yeah, we have we
Speaker 2: touched on the milestones that we achieved last week, but
Speaker 2: we missed a hell of a lot more to it,
Speaker 2: Like we actually did our fiftieth episode. Huge, So congratulations
Speaker 2: on fifty episode and congratulations to everyone that listens along
Speaker 2: every week because it is massive and we're noticing I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys are noticing it. We're noticing
Speaker 2: just a shift and there's an actual feeling there that
Speaker 2: you know, we got the pod family rocking with us,
Speaker 2: the ogs, We've got people are actually reaching out engaging
Speaker 2: more like it's awesome. It's really really cool. Our numbers
Speaker 2: are growing exponentially, like really quickly, so like you guys
Speaker 2: are getting the word out there, sharing our content, which
Speaker 2: is you know, helping us out a lot.
Speaker 1: We love you for that.
Speaker 2: It's massive. So yeah, it's yeah, there's a bit of
Speaker 2: a movement at the moment, and it's exciting.
Speaker 1: It's exciting, and it's something you know, we're super appreciative of.
Speaker 1: It's great to have amazing people are listening and having
Speaker 1: a bit of a laugh, you know, and enjoying what
Speaker 1: we're putting out there. And yeah, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: hard work that goes in behind the scenes, a lot
Speaker 1: of it more from Braden than myself. But it's great
Speaker 1: to see people interacting and enjoying the content. Like we said,
Speaker 1: like share all that kind of jazz and check us
Speaker 1: out on the different platforms. But just a massive appreciation
Speaker 1: to start off the podcast of everyone that's tuned down.
Speaker 2: Hey, and I do the editing, but if you go
Speaker 2: out there and keep taking marks and kickings, it makes
Speaker 2: my job a hell of a lot easier.
Speaker 1: To provide the content. You just cut it all up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my class hard put what you gonna do is
Speaker 2: go out and kick a couple of girls. Not that hard.
Speaker 2: Let's get into the clanger of the week, because there
Speaker 2: were a couple over the weekend. Now, what was yours?
Speaker 1: Mate? I've got Nathan. I don't know if people saw
Speaker 1: this in the game. It was a kindwood game, A
Speaker 1: bit easy for me. Nathan Murphy dacked Aaron Cadman. But
Speaker 1: the great part about it was Nathan. I think he
Speaker 1: was going up to like grab his jumper right and
Speaker 1: he missed the jumper, grabbed his waistband, pulled his pants
Speaker 1: down and asked, cheeks hang it out. But the funniest
Speaker 1: part I thought was the fact that Kevin turned around
Speaker 1: and shove MRP back to the ground. So then therefore
Speaker 1: Murf got a free kick out of dacking someone in
Speaker 1: the middle of the game. And I was like laughing
Speaker 1: my ass off watching the replay, couldn't believe that he
Speaker 1: actually was able to get a free kick out of
Speaker 1: it for literally doing something he probably should have given
Speaker 1: away a free kick for.
Speaker 2: It's probably about time MRF was juice some good luck
Speaker 2: out there, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Burf Corop's the most criticism out of any player. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, but like we just picked on him
Speaker 1: at the club. I love him. I mean, he's the
Speaker 1: nicest human, but he does cop quite a bit of
Speaker 1: a flag from the people at the club and he
Speaker 1: takes it in stride.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think you've been quite generous when you
Speaker 2: said he was reaching for his jumper, because I looked
Speaker 2: back at it and he missed it by a fair chunk.
Speaker 2: Now my clanger of the week, and I'm doubling down
Speaker 2: on someone here huge whoever does the fixture? Now, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you missed my last clanger.
Speaker 1: But the AFL, No, the AFL is listening to this podcast, brow,
Speaker 1: I know, shout out hi OFL. Yes, we're being cautious
Speaker 1: on what we say. I promise.
Speaker 2: Now, what's the hottest ticket in town? Mate?
Speaker 1: You know this.
Speaker 2: It's the Collingwood Football Club and every damn game they're playing, right,
Speaker 2: So you got the you got the golden ticket, you
Speaker 2: got the golden goose. Well, where are you gonna put him?
Speaker 2: Big Friday night blockbuster? Nah? Big Saturday night blockbuster. Nah.
Speaker 2: Let's bury the hottest ticket in town every Sunday for
Speaker 2: the next millennium. It's a Sunday game, Sunday game, Sunday game,
Speaker 2: Sunday game. I don't know what the hell they're doing,
Speaker 2: because they knew they were a hot ticket item last year.
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if you were seeing this last year.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were a part of it
Speaker 2: or not. But Collingwood were killing everyone and everyone was
Speaker 2: tuning into every bloody Collingwood game every single week. So
Speaker 2: what do you do the next year? Bloody? How we
Speaker 2: better put them every Sunday night? I digress Sunday night games.
Speaker 2: Come on, lift your game. They're doing the second half
Speaker 2: of the year fixture moving forward Friday Saturdays. Get them
Speaker 2: up there. We're due for a.
Speaker 1: Few or do I mean the fact that you put
Speaker 1: Carlton versus Collingwood on a Sunday You're better at that.
Speaker 2: I'd start to think they're trolling after they do that.
Speaker 2: You're not doing that because then I like that. You
Speaker 2: know market game, the market game. So you're not complaining
Speaker 2: because you got hands ac day. Then you're not complaining
Speaker 2: because you've got the King's birthday. But then you get
Speaker 2: a week off, so okay, cool, let's reset. Then they
Speaker 2: give you another Sunday game. Taking the piss anyway. That's
Speaker 2: in my opinion, Mason, But.
Speaker 1: I'm not mad, just disappointed.
Speaker 2: You got the hardest ticket in town. Put them in
Speaker 2: prime time. That's what I got to say.
Speaker 1: We'll get into this week's games. We got the first
Speaker 1: one off the bat, Richmond versus Geelong. This was an
Speaker 1: interesting one.
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of felt like it was coming. You
Speaker 2: can only prod the Tigers for so long before they
Speaker 2: buy your hand off. And Dusty did that kick and
Speaker 2: four snags vintage Dusty. I think he's averaging I think
Speaker 2: I've seen he's averaging twenty and a goal. And there's
Speaker 2: only about five players in the league and they're all
Speaker 2: A listers. So you know, a bit of heat was
Speaker 2: on Dusty throughout the year for you know, is he
Speaker 2: going to retire? Is at the end of his career?
Speaker 2: H dustint He's come back, bounce back and kick four Now.
Speaker 2: Something that I did like, and I don't know if
Speaker 2: you saw this, but Jack Reewill Tom Hawkins jumper swap
Speaker 2: at the end of the game. What did you think
Speaker 2: of that one?
Speaker 1: A big fan of that. I know. There's like the
Speaker 1: funny thing is my jumpers are actually customs that to
Speaker 1: be extremely long so there's only two of those that exist,
Speaker 1: So it's kind of gonna be one of those things
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to probably do because I'd run
Speaker 1: out of jumpers, but I would actually pay like the
Speaker 1: club to provide more jumpers for me to do. Jumper swaps.
Speaker 1: I think of like the cool ones of like you know,
Speaker 1: you've got your indigenous jumpers, you know, if they did
Speaker 1: like a unique one for like Queen's birthday or something,
Speaker 1: they'd be pretty cool. Like all those the Anzact Day
Speaker 1: one to be able to like swap those would be
Speaker 1: really cool to hang up. Like I think, like King's Birthday,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. If I were able to swap jumpers
Speaker 1: of Brodie Grundy, awesome would be bang smack up there
Speaker 1: with like Anzact Day jumpers with me just because of
Speaker 1: like the cool, you know, friendship that you have with it,
Speaker 1: and then also the rivalry that comes with the game
Speaker 1: and like the big kind of time and the big
Speaker 1: lights and all that. Like it just would be so cool.
Speaker 1: And you see other sports that do it. Other sports
Speaker 1: do it, and like football, it's every single game, like
Speaker 1: they can afford a new jersey every single game. So
Speaker 1: you get these people literally it's just jersey swapping every
Speaker 1: single time they play, and I'm a big fan of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, like Jack Tom, both of them obviously legends
Speaker 1: of the game and to them, I guess they probably
Speaker 1: would organize it before the game, but yeah, it would
Speaker 1: be something cool that I think they've got that mutual
Speaker 1: respect and now they'll be able to have that jumper
Speaker 1: hanging up and have a bit of a cool story
Speaker 1: to tell with it.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Cameron, We're going to have to start looking at
Speaker 2: this seriously, Mats, because he only kicked one goal on
Speaker 2: the weekend. We talk about falls from grace, this blok,
Speaker 2: he was on track for one hundred. I don't even
Speaker 2: know if he's going to kick forty.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 2: If it just keeps trending in the same direction, I'm
Speaker 2: just putting him on watch. This is something that we've
Speaker 2: got to keep an eye on. I'll just keep checking
Speaker 2: in with Jazz. Maybe he'll have a break, get to
Speaker 2: the by just you know, have a refresh, go for
Speaker 2: a fish, come back out for start kicking tain again.
Speaker 2: We got to jump into this one because it's probably
Speaker 2: arguably game at the round. West Coast v. Gold Coast
Speaker 2: over in Perth, Battle Battle of the Coasts. Now what
Speaker 2: I loved out of this game. Matt Row obviously copped
Speaker 2: a lot of shit for eating grass last week in
Speaker 2: matt Cow, and he came out and he ate grass again.
Speaker 1: I hate respect respectively. Stuck to the routine. He knew
Speaker 1: there would be cameras on in pregame the whole time,
Speaker 1: waiting for that moment to get it on film.
Speaker 2: I reckon it opens it up for sponsorships. He's going
Speaker 2: to have, you know, farming companies coming out for him
Speaker 2: grass before you know it, he's going to have the
Speaker 2: whole deal, especially if he keeps playing like this. Twenty
Speaker 2: nine touches and a goal. He just ran around dominating
Speaker 2: the show. One thing that did come out of this game,
Speaker 2: and we know that West Coast have a plethora of injuries.
Speaker 2: They've got more injuries than they do have fit players.
Speaker 2: Jack Darling played through the game with the fractured arm.
Speaker 2: So fractured his arm in the game and played it out.
Speaker 2: Now every time he went to ground, every time he
Speaker 2: did anything, he's just wincing and holding his arm that
Speaker 2: they basically sticky tape back together and said, mate, you're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to suck it up. No one else
Speaker 2: I know you're just rolling around there with a floppy
Speaker 2: noodle for an arm, But bloody how I'll get back
Speaker 2: out there. Imagine Jeremy how Is coming off the ground.
Speaker 2: You're like, mate, Chaz, we're gonna need We're gonna need
Speaker 2: a big second half from you. That's the situation that
Speaker 2: West Coast of finding themselves in. So ultimate respect to
Speaker 2: Jack Darling coming out there and playing through a fractured arm.
Speaker 2: It just made me think, is there been any injuries
Speaker 2: that you've played through because you are a bit injury prone,
Speaker 2: but they're always really obscure.
Speaker 1: The spleen was was really interesting because it felt like
Speaker 1: I needed to This is kind of weird, feel like
Speaker 1: I needed to shit and throw up at the same time. Braided.
Speaker 1: That's how I knew there was something wrong, properly wrong
Speaker 1: on my insides. I've had a few other injuries and stuff.
Speaker 1: The eyes were not painful, just like very different in
Speaker 1: the It was just a feeling and a visual thing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't actually, it's not like a lot of pain receptors.
Speaker 2: I feel like, well, you didn't know one was cooked,
Speaker 2: did you?
Speaker 1: Well? One was? Yeah, like cooked for essentially a year,
Speaker 1: and I was just playing through it thinking I'd be
Speaker 1: all right, not knowing, and then the Sindus mosis is
Speaker 1: probably one of the most annoying ones, I think, because
Speaker 1: you really can't put pressure on it, and it's like
Speaker 1: a six to eight weeker, and it's just frustrating because
Speaker 1: it's like your feet, your feet in hands. If you
Speaker 1: injure your feet and hands is the worst because it's
Speaker 1: like it's what you need to get around in a
Speaker 1: market ball. You can't play without them, like you just
Speaker 1: need them. So whenever you do a finger or yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you roll your ankle or something like that. It just
Speaker 1: is the most frustrating thing whenever you're out there playing,
Speaker 1: cause you know, you can't play your mask capacity whenever,
Speaker 1: like one of those things is not working.
Speaker 2: So you can. So you've played with the Cindus moss injury,
Speaker 2: Like is that like a strain or something.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the ankle. I mean, like I've played the
Speaker 1: rest of a game with one. You just tape the
Speaker 1: living hell out of it to the point where you
Speaker 1: can't really move your ankle at all. You're just kind
Speaker 1: of like hobbling one foot, you know. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: Sindus Moss. One's never fine and then you just you
Speaker 1: just put back so much for essentially an ankle roll
Speaker 1: sometimes and a lot of times you get it whenever
Speaker 1: someone else falls on your foot and it kind of
Speaker 1: gets in the wrong position. But yeah, there was there's
Speaker 1: a scare in one of the games actually over the weekend,
Speaker 1: but Troca was it was a scare that he had
Speaker 1: maybe done cindismosis, but he was he was cleared of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because those can be quite serious, but yeah,
Speaker 1: those are kind of the most annoying.
Speaker 2: I'd say, I think your club has had some obscure injuries,
Speaker 2: and I think your former skipper, the Collingwood go he's
Speaker 2: done a fair few injuries in his time where his finger,
Speaker 2: the top of his finger is just sitting on a
Speaker 2: forty five nonstuff.
Speaker 1: And it's him and Jared Witz have the most disgusting
Speaker 1: fingers I've ever seen in my life. It's like that
Speaker 1: famous photo of like the cricketer catcher keeper over the
Speaker 1: hell y'all calm, and he's got his fingers going seven
Speaker 1: different sideways and you're like, this is how do you
Speaker 1: even I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think there's two that you might know about Quentin Lynch.
Speaker 2: Did you ever play with the acoustic because he was
Speaker 2: he was there for a year. I think he must
Speaker 2: have left as you arrived. He broke his pinky fingers
Speaker 2: so many times it would sit at a right angle
Speaker 2: and he just left it. He still has it like that.
Speaker 1: What is there any benefit to that? Maybe I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: That way, and I think from memory, Uh, Daniel Chick
Speaker 2: he cooked his fingers so many times he just cut
Speaker 2: it off.
Speaker 1: Oh just as that just doesn't look good. A nub's
Speaker 1: better than that finger.
Speaker 2: When you get to the custiic level and your fingers
Speaker 2: sitting at a right angle and you're just getting at
Speaker 2: caught on ship and every day I'd like cut it off,
Speaker 2: give me a little nub.
Speaker 1: We'll finish off on this coast to coast battle. We
Speaker 1: got kink kick four. Big King's going Wow. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Big King and Oscar Allen. He is the only
Speaker 1: positive thing coming out of West Coast of the moment
Speaker 1: with all those injuries. Shout out to the two big boys.
Speaker 1: They're doing their thing. And that was the big highlight
Speaker 1: I think from that game. But we'll move on to
Speaker 1: the next one. Swan's versus Freemantle, Swan's home game couldn't
Speaker 1: get the dub. This is panic stations.
Speaker 2: Yeah absolutely. I would almost think that they're probably gonna
Speaker 2: they lose another one or two. They're probably going to
Speaker 2: start rolling it up. Sure on them now, isn't there Yeah,
Speaker 2: which everyone was saying the stats coming out of it.
Speaker 2: If you get flogged in the Grand Final, normally there's
Speaker 2: a big chance that you missed the finals the next year.
Speaker 2: We all looked at this young Sydney team full of
Speaker 2: stars and went, surely they bucked the trend here, but
Speaker 2: it's not looking good. Especially Freo had a lot of
Speaker 2: question marks themselves and going into an away game.
Speaker 1: You know, Sydney started around free you they've been there
Speaker 1: were a real question marks at beginning of the season
Speaker 1: and Luke Jackson was copping a quite a bit of heat.
Speaker 1: He was copping a lot of heat from Wi and
Speaker 1: he's been actually really good recently kicked three on the weekend. Then,
Speaker 1: you know, props up to him. It's not the easiest
Speaker 1: thing to be criticized the hell out of it and
Speaker 1: be like on the back page of the newspaper and
Speaker 1: everyone just throwing you down talking about your contract now
Speaker 1: that you're getting paid and you're not worth it, and
Speaker 1: this and that, you know, and then you come out
Speaker 1: and you got to be able to mentally get over
Speaker 1: the and be able to perform. So it's a credit
Speaker 1: to Jackson. He's done really well and hopefully he continues
Speaker 1: on this trajectory.
Speaker 2: For those out there now. We pumped him up last
Speaker 2: week because I saw it coming. A bit of nostrodamis about.
Speaker 2: But he looks like their absolute savior up forward. He
Speaker 2: gives them structure, so good overhead, agile, he can do
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, this kid, and he's still just
Speaker 2: a kid. So it's awesome seeing him over there. And
Speaker 2: we talked about King and Oscar Allen, so it's awesome
Speaker 2: seeing these young kids have these breakout games because it
Speaker 2: is so hard and we've all seen it over time.
Speaker 2: It's so hard for these young kids to develop. Aaron Norton, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like he cops so much heat. I think he's like
Speaker 2: twenty two or something, which is insane that he's like
Speaker 2: doing what he's doing. The expectation on key forwards is
Speaker 2: always through the roof and it always takes time to develop.
Speaker 2: Wait till these guys are hitting their you know, twenty
Speaker 2: six is to twenty eight's like they're going to be insane.
Speaker 2: But I'm super pumped for Jackson. Gulden had another crazy
Speaker 2: game he played. He got these numbers against you guys
Speaker 2: last week, and he's continued on with another thirty nine
Speaker 2: and two. He's just running up and down. Buddy had
Speaker 2: another quiet one. So we're a bit on Buddy watch
Speaker 2: at the moment, whether you know, they've looked really good
Speaker 2: without him and the team. So now the conundrum is,
Speaker 2: once you start getting to the point where you're like,
Speaker 2: maybe we're out of finals, do you start to look
Speaker 2: more towards the you know, Buddy send off show and
Speaker 2: like do the Grand Tour where if you announce it,
Speaker 2: then you know, fans in Brisbane still get a chance
Speaker 2: to see him and celebrat him, Fans in Perth still
Speaker 2: get a chance to see him and celebrate him. If
Speaker 2: you leave it too late, you probably rub everyone of
Speaker 2: this opportunity to see this last dance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the Swans are out of finals
Speaker 1: yet though, I think they still got an opportunity. And
Speaker 1: the interesting thing with the whole you talk about Jack
Speaker 1: and Tom and Buddy and all these guys are older
Speaker 1: generation that are, you know, looking towards probably the back
Speaker 1: end of their career. It's it would be awesome if
Speaker 1: if he were to come out and say, like whenever
Speaker 1: his last year is this year, next year, the year
Speaker 1: after that, whatever it is, for him to come out
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and we could kind
Speaker 1: of give him a proper send off throughout the year,
Speaker 1: be amazing, an absolute champion of the game. But the
Speaker 1: thing is is, like you're not sure who's going to
Speaker 1: be on your list until the end of the year,
Speaker 1: you know, so you can't really do that unless he
Speaker 1: kind of comes out or whoever it is comes out
Speaker 1: and says like, nah, this is it, I don't want
Speaker 1: to do this anymore after this year, like this is all.
Speaker 1: But I think with any player, you're not gonna come
Speaker 1: out early and say that because then if you go
Speaker 1: if the team goes really well and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like think about last year, right like if
Speaker 1: someone came out of being he was like, oh Collingwood's rebuilding,
Speaker 1: We're not can be very good, blah blah blah, don't
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call him last year, you know, and
Speaker 1: then you win the eleven straight you go fuck, like, okay, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, we might be in the Premiership one now.
Speaker 1: Now I want to stay on. I want to stay on.
Speaker 1: So there's things like that. I just don't think you
Speaker 1: can ever make those decisions. It's really tough to make
Speaker 1: those decisions until the very end, and it had to
Speaker 1: take some kind of grants between the club and him
Speaker 1: to or whoever it is to to make that decision early.
Speaker 1: But I don't. I think Buddy's still got plenty of
Speaker 1: good footing in him, and yeah, I want to see
Speaker 1: him play as long as he can, because he is
Speaker 1: an entertainer one oh one, and.
Speaker 2: It is wrapped up in a lot of things. So
Speaker 2: he's also got a few milestones up ahead, so like
Speaker 2: he's only a handful of goals off, you know, jumping
Speaker 2: up another rung to I think fourth all time goalkicker,
Speaker 2: like all of these things. So he's got these milestones
Speaker 2: on the horizon. But at the same time, if you're
Speaker 2: saying Sydney's not out of finals yet and they're playing
Speaker 2: good footy without him in the side, do you drop him? So,
Speaker 2: like it's it's a very interesting set of circumstances they
Speaker 2: find themselves in but they do have North Melbourne next week.
Speaker 1: Confidence booster.
Speaker 2: You can't say that, but.
Speaker 1: It is it Marvel though I don't know.
Speaker 2: It isn't Marvel. So we never know what we're going
Speaker 2: to get out of North back home from down in
Speaker 2: Tazzy where maybe they're not as welcome as they once were.
Speaker 2: I want to pull this one forward. This is interesting now,
Speaker 2: so we've all we all know that North Melbourne Hawthorne,
Speaker 2: they've been toiling away down in Tasmania for a bunch
Speaker 2: of years now, you know, getting another group of fans
Speaker 2: to jump on. At what stage do we think that Tasmanians,
Speaker 2: Taswegians regions, at what point do we think Taswegians are
Speaker 2: going all right? North Hawthorn it's been real piss off.
Speaker 1: But this is this is the thing though. It is
Speaker 1: like they've got all this sponsorship in the idea of
Speaker 1: them wanting to get a team, but now once they
Speaker 1: get the team, sponsorship goes out the window, Like where
Speaker 1: do they make that money? Then? Also do all those
Speaker 1: supporters in Tasmania that we're supporting North Melmne or in
Speaker 1: Tasmania do they all go and obviously they'll end up
Speaker 1: supporting the Tasmanian team, So it'd be interesting to see
Speaker 1: from a membership level also funding level for North and Hawthorne,
Speaker 1: who were always kind of the two. I feel like
Speaker 1: the people are like, hey, you know, like do we
Speaker 1: you know, got nix them and make them the Tazi team,
Speaker 1: Like all of a sudden, now they're probably setting another
Speaker 1: set back because they don't have as much fun in
Speaker 1: because now all the Tasmanians are going to support the
Speaker 1: Tazi team that comes in in twenty twenty six or
Speaker 1: wherever it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can't imagine Tasmania is gonna keep sponsoring
Speaker 2: Hawthorn from much longer because I would want to push
Speaker 2: all of that funding into their own team exactly. It's
Speaker 2: going to be very interesting. I don't know if it
Speaker 2: starts getting hostile down there, but but you know, how
Speaker 2: long can it last?
Speaker 1: The game was down in Tazzy North Belben versus Port
Speaker 1: Adelaide and Jason Horn Francis game. Everyone was looking at
Speaker 1: this on the calendar thinking when is what's going to happen?
Speaker 1: How is he going to play against his old team?
Speaker 1: All the beef between the two and everything that was
Speaker 1: going on in the media, and let's just say Jason
Speaker 1: horn Francis was on the better team on the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he definitely definitely had the last laugh because
Speaker 2: Port came out and just thumped North. Not in front
Speaker 2: of too many people there either, So I mean, if
Speaker 2: you want to get booed by one team, it's probably
Speaker 2: North fans, to be honest.
Speaker 1: Wow wow.
Speaker 2: But yeah, unfortunately for North, a whole bunch of injuries,
Speaker 2: including Camzo which Fi which it was a bit of
Speaker 2: you know, that's that was the lead up as much
Speaker 2: as it was you know, North v. Horn Francis, it
Speaker 2: was really Camz Harvey horn Francis with the history of
Speaker 2: that outgoing and yeah, I don't know, it's a real
Speaker 2: hard one for North at the moment. Is it past
Speaker 2: the you know the you always have that little uptick
Speaker 2: of effort when you have a new coach on Alistair
Speaker 2: Clarkson coming in at the start of the season, and
Speaker 2: then has that already started to like fade away, and
Speaker 2: then you left with these performances.
Speaker 1: The five injuries aren't going to help them, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're definitely not going to help. I still like
Speaker 2: big Souve up forward. Yeah, kicked another mini bag. I
Speaker 2: don't know what what do you think a bag is nowadays?
Speaker 2: In terms of girls?
Speaker 1: Five? Yeah, hey, surely I don't know how many? How
Speaker 1: many balls can you fit in a bag? It's probably
Speaker 1: better question.
Speaker 2: There is science to this.
Speaker 1: Well. Shout out though, Todd Goldstein. Fifty six hitouts, big man,
Speaker 1: the big man, Todd Goldstein, he's still got it.
Speaker 2: He's had fifty six hitouts. You'd be looking at your
Speaker 2: midfield going, come on, boys, boys, what do I got to?
Speaker 1: By way you get to the dare bop of the
Speaker 1: drop of the ball.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was a massacre out there, Hawthorne, b Melbourne.
Speaker 2: We all knew it was going to be the sad
Speaker 2: part out of it. As you already mentioned. Petruca with
Speaker 2: potentially a bit of an injury.
Speaker 1: But marks around that this week it'll be on a
Speaker 1: heavy watchdown there.
Speaker 2: Gives the you know, the journos something to do. Love
Speaker 2: chasing them around to.
Speaker 1: Sit outside that imaging center for another three days now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's not a lot we can really say
Speaker 2: out of this game, Hawthorn. With the goal to halftime
Speaker 2: probably not what you want as a fan rolling down there.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long the fact that you won
Speaker 2: all these flags can like sustain your joy of the
Speaker 2: team every week you just like gold what halftime? At
Speaker 2: least we want How.
Speaker 1: Many years is the enough years to say you're gonna
Speaker 1: you know, build your team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is this? Is it?
Speaker 1: Four? Is it? Five?
Speaker 2: Like it's a deep conversation and we had this before
Speaker 2: we started off, but there's got to be new questions asked.
Speaker 2: Once you introduced the nineteenth team, once you introduced the
Speaker 2: twentieth team, the finals are still top eight. That's a
Speaker 2: lot of teams that are missing out. There's still a
Speaker 2: lot of teams fighting over draft picks, so the draft
Speaker 2: pool is going to get shallower. Everything's gonna go. You know,
Speaker 2: there's the fixture needs to be fixed. We need to
Speaker 2: get fairness in the fixture. Melbourne's versing Hawthorne twice and
Speaker 2: North twice and it's outed as you know, premiership contenders
Speaker 2: this year. How are they getting four potential wins out
Speaker 2: of those four games? I would say potential wins you
Speaker 2: never know what's going to happen. But they get an
Speaker 2: easier draw like that. That doesn't make sense if you're
Speaker 2: always talking about we need, you know, a quality in,
Speaker 2: you know, the fixture. It's got to be even games.
Speaker 2: We've got to be verse. We've got to be verse
Speaker 2: in everyone once, like, we've got to the draft system
Speaker 2: needs to be fixed, I reckon. So you can't have
Speaker 2: teams like aiming to finish down the bottom. Not saying
Speaker 2: that anyone here, but yeah, there's a lot that's going
Speaker 2: to have to get shaken up to fix some of this.
Speaker 1: Like Gills kind of hinted at the fact that there'll
Speaker 1: be twenty teams, like to have an odd number with
Speaker 1: Tazi coming in, like nineteen doesn't sound as nice as
Speaker 1: twenty and for fixturing and everything else. So then okay,
Speaker 1: you mentioned get the finals, and we've talked about this
Speaker 1: is like do we do the play in?
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I don't want people to roll their eyes
Speaker 2: at this too, because everyone always says like you're trying
Speaker 2: to Americanize the game or whatever. There's going to be
Speaker 2: there's got to be there's a necessity to it. When
Speaker 2: it comes to the point where it's like there's nineteen
Speaker 2: twenty teams and only eight of them get to make
Speaker 2: the finals, surely you've got to open up, you know,
Speaker 2: the next nine and ten slots so half the competition's
Speaker 2: got a chance at joy in their lives their life,
Speaker 2: So you'd probably initially be looking at, you know, the
Speaker 2: top six make it through seven and eight, verse nine
Speaker 2: and ten to play in to get to the grand
Speaker 2: to the finals. Yeah, ok, and the winner of those
Speaker 2: two verse five six sense, So like you'd have to
Speaker 2: start looking at that. And that's not because we're trying
Speaker 2: to americanize it. You've got to get some of these
Speaker 2: teams up into finals. There's teams that are dwelling down
Speaker 2: there for years. And like on top of all of
Speaker 2: this is like another brief thing that we can't really
Speaker 2: dive into because we could talk about it for hours,
Speaker 2: is your free agency because it's not turning out the
Speaker 2: way that they wanted it to turn out. The smaller
Speaker 2: teams with no success are having to pay a way
Speaker 2: bigger price packet to get bigger names into their club.
Speaker 2: And then I feel that once you get that big
Speaker 2: bag and you go onto a play for a club
Speaker 2: that's going to be losing every week, what's your motivation really?
Speaker 2: And then the ultimate is you've got all these like,
Speaker 2: you know, thirty year old guys that are still at
Speaker 2: the top of their game that want to go to
Speaker 2: a successful club where they can guarantee that they're going
Speaker 2: to have success the next two three years. So they're
Speaker 2: just going to the best clubs and they might take,
Speaker 2: you know, a little cut, or the lower teams might
Speaker 2: pay half their salary, so it's not really working out.
Speaker 2: So we're seeing a lot of successful teams stay successful
Speaker 2: for a lot of years. And if you stuff up
Speaker 2: this draft or you stuff up you know, your trade period,
Speaker 2: you could be dwelling down there for a long time.
Speaker 2: So you need to be able to have a chance
Speaker 2: at making final. So then these top end players can
Speaker 2: go like, oh, well they technically made They finished like
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 1: Half the Yeah, so AFL you know what. That also
Speaker 1: means more money. More money are all about, So that
Speaker 1: would be another little golden nugget for.
Speaker 2: You equalizers up that competition. Now, this one is an
Speaker 2: interesting one. We're going to jump into Brisbane v Essendon
Speaker 2: and Joey D big fella you know, was doing it
Speaker 2: all like kick six goals on the weekend. Now everyone's
Speaker 2: looking at Charlie Cameron, the Electric Machine, Harley Ryder himself,
Speaker 2: but Joey D. When you've just got a plethora of
Speaker 2: Fords up there. They've got Gunston, They've got hip Would,
Speaker 2: they got all these guys that you know roll through there,
Speaker 2: and one of them is going to be dangerous each week.
Speaker 2: Very tall, a lot of tall boys up there. How
Speaker 2: did you see this guy?
Speaker 1: Well, JOEJ like you said, kick six. His song is
Speaker 1: let It Go from Frozen, huge fan, let it Go,
Speaker 1: Let it Go. Something's e Disney guy.
Speaker 2: When you're picking, when you're letting players pick their own songs,
Speaker 2: surely you got to you know, heard them in the
Speaker 2: right direction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe just pick a fan favorite. But it's a
Speaker 1: family atmosphere up there in Prisbone.
Speaker 2: When he kicks six, you gotta be.
Speaker 1: The girl. The little young girls there are, the families
Speaker 1: and stuff are just loving Joey D. But the interesting
Speaker 1: thing about the weekend with him was like Aston couldn't
Speaker 1: find a solution for him. At one point they put
Speaker 1: Phillips back on him, a ruckman playing a defender on
Speaker 1: Joe D. Because it was just a massacre in the
Speaker 1: four line, Like six isn't he I'd be six foot six,
Speaker 1: maybe six for seven, whereas like Phillips would be like
Speaker 1: six ten. So you got a guy who's a bit
Speaker 1: taller and where you wouldn't really have that, probably in
Speaker 1: a ford line or in defense for them. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he caused all kinds of issues for Uscident over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if it's a bit of a one
Speaker 1: of those things, you know, a little grudge match used
Speaker 1: to play for them, and you know every time he
Speaker 1: goes up against them, he kind of gets a bit
Speaker 1: of extra energy. Now that does happen, It does happen.
Speaker 2: I circled this one because there wasn't a lot of
Speaker 2: amazing games on the weekend. I just put that out there.
Speaker 2: I think they blew their load all that when there
Speaker 2: was Thursday night games. You know, when they were doing
Speaker 2: Thursday Thursday, Thursday, every round was just banger after banger
Speaker 2: after banging, and then they went all the way up
Speaker 2: into the Anzac Day game and then they're like, we're
Speaker 2: out of good stuff, wrap up the Thursday nighters, no
Speaker 2: more of them, and then just roll out all this crap.
Speaker 2: But Carlton Bulldogs, because there's just so many little side
Speaker 2: stories in all of this, but Carlton coming in with
Speaker 2: a bit of heat on them. Technically their home game
Speaker 2: against the Bulldogs. Bulldogs are having a run looking good.
Speaker 2: They started with a lot of question marks at the
Speaker 2: they lost their first couple, but since then they've been
Speaker 2: on fire. Now the opposite can be said for Carlton,
Speaker 2: and they're you know, they're not really winning against any
Speaker 2: of these top teams. So their verse five top eight
Speaker 2: teams and they've lost to four of them, and they
Speaker 2: beat Geelong when Geelong was probably not at the peak
Speaker 2: of their pawals. So there is a few question marks
Speaker 2: around Carlton, but it was kind of the same old
Speaker 2: story for kicking it long, not really getting much out
Speaker 2: of their forward line. Charlie got targeted four times. Could
Speaker 2: you imagine if you were Key Ford Coleman medallists down
Speaker 2: there just begging for it four times targeted as a Ford.
Speaker 1: It'd be rough. I mean, we talked about this last
Speaker 1: week of Carlton just having issues going inside fifty and
Speaker 1: getting it to their big boys, and yeah, only targeting
Speaker 1: that man four times is something They'll be going into
Speaker 1: the review and trying to find a way to get
Speaker 1: the bat in his hands more often, There's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. But the big onest thing I think that's
Speaker 1: come out of this is Carlton's kicking there was that
Speaker 1: many that were kicked on the fool and trying to
Speaker 1: snap and hitting the belly of the ball. And I
Speaker 1: don't know who the kicking coach is down there, but
Speaker 1: he's he's he's in a in a rough spot. He's
Speaker 1: under the pop. But yeah, it's it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a confidence thing. And sometimes you know
Speaker 1: it's one person's miss misses one. You know that pressure
Speaker 1: of oh my gosh, please not be one of those days.
Speaker 1: Everyone misses it. I'm up next, Oh now, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: like and it just plays in your head and maybe
Speaker 1: this is what's happening at Carlton. I'm not really sure,
Speaker 1: but to have one goal at half all those misses,
Speaker 1: it's it was a rough, rough start for the Carlton
Speaker 1: Blues and the Bulldogs are able to get the win
Speaker 1: over and take advantage of it.
Speaker 2: Now. One thing that was really bizarre. I was watching
Speaker 2: the game. Harry Charlie hadn't been sighted, but then Big
Speaker 2: Matt always streaming out of the square. He's doing leads,
Speaker 2: clunking marks. It's like you got these two common medalists
Speaker 2: sitting up there and you got one. Oh you go here,
Speaker 2: the paddicks always up there, clunking marks, sinking set shots,
Speaker 2: doing the Carlton jumper pull, getting the crowd into it.
Speaker 2: It's a bizarro world down there at Carlton. I have
Speaker 2: no idea what the hell's going on, but you know
Speaker 2: that's one for VOSSI to figure out. What I will say,
Speaker 2: bulldogs absolutely flying fastball movement. It's looking great getting it
Speaker 2: down there to Norton. But then they got a couple
Speaker 2: of others. Rory Love another one that's come across and
Speaker 2: he's starting to feel his place in the team, starting
Speaker 2: to kick some goals. So it's gonna be a massive
Speaker 2: game sets up next week for Carlton b Collingwood.
Speaker 1: Massive And it's interesting. Crips got out of a fine,
Speaker 1: Sorry he got a fine, got out of a suspension
Speaker 1: for pulling hair.
Speaker 2: Don't see many hairpins.
Speaker 1: There was I think one with Nicknapp new years ago.
Speaker 1: Someone pulled his drugs. But yeah, Crips, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: hired the right lawyers and you got the right people
Speaker 1: in place to make sure he didn't get suspended as
Speaker 1: he always do it Carlton, as they always doing. Hey,
Speaker 1: Melbourne took after them. They probably hide the same morial
Speaker 1: last week and they got out of it just a
Speaker 1: little sorry, thousand dollars fine for pulling hairs.
Speaker 2: So but it was Bailey Smith. Maybe he just wanted
Speaker 2: to touch the mullet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well what happens if maybe it's just a bit natty,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not properly combed, and you know,
Speaker 1: the hand gets stuck in there, you know, maybe it's
Speaker 1: on maybe it's on him, not on crips. I'm not
Speaker 1: really too sure. But where does that fit in the
Speaker 1: MRO table? You know, they've got like high contact, like
Speaker 1: whether they meant to or not. Like does hair pulling
Speaker 1: come into maybe a box somewhere for the MRO. I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure.
Speaker 2: Right up there, right up there. Six weeks six weeks, Oh,
Speaker 2: jump into this one because it was a really entertaining game.
Speaker 2: Adelaide v s and Kilda Saints starting to slow a
Speaker 2: little bit, but it's only because they're coming up against
Speaker 2: really good competition and Adelaide is just that.
Speaker 1: Do you think this game was Adelaide being good or
Speaker 1: Saint Kilda not being up to scratch?
Speaker 2: I think Adelaide and Adelaide is I know you guys
Speaker 2: managed to beat him.
Speaker 1: There at one point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's it's a massive challenge as as you
Speaker 2: and the boys would know, to go over there and
Speaker 2: beat Adelaide. It's a real fortress for him again and
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a throwback because tex Walker.
Speaker 1: That's a roundhouse kick by Chuck Norris, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Tex Walker.
Speaker 2: He came out and kicked five. So he's just another
Speaker 2: one of those, you know, these old key forwards that
Speaker 2: are also still getting it done, still up the top
Speaker 2: of the goal kicking table. Your boy one of the
Speaker 2: one of the big old rocks. Can you get a
Speaker 2: bag of hitouts?
Speaker 1: I think a bag is probably like fifty so Todd
Speaker 1: Gold seen bag of hitouts this week. Roan Marshall one
Speaker 1: hit out away from old bag. He had forty nine
Speaker 1: to O'Brien's thirty nine and O'Brien's a good rockman. Rowan Marshall,
Speaker 1: I think it is one of the best out there.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing with him though, is he just has
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. It is they're a totally different team.
Speaker 1: Whenever he's playing well, whenever he's getting out about and
Speaker 1: taking marks around the ground and getting hitouts. He's a very,
Speaker 1: very good player and a man with a beautiful haircut.
Speaker 2: I've got it. If you have a dominant game, Yeah,
Speaker 2: callia plumber.
Speaker 1: Plumber.
Speaker 2: We've got more taps than a plumber.
Speaker 1: Ah, let's go. I'm all right fifty plus you're a
Speaker 1: plumber on the week.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Ross Lyon gave him Saint Kilda the mulligan.
Speaker 2: They go, all right, boys, we played pretty well. Come
Speaker 2: over here, have an off performance. Zech. I think we've
Speaker 2: been playing pretty consistently. Consistency the key word. We've been
Speaker 2: playing pretty consistently, you know, every now and then you
Speaker 2: drop one.
Speaker 1: I think this is a smart player by Ross, because
Speaker 1: if you go into depth and you start dissecting at
Speaker 1: too much, you know, you start to lose that confidence
Speaker 1: and faith in what you're doing. Whereas if you just go, hey, boys,
Speaker 1: forget this, this is done. Move on. Let's focus on
Speaker 1: the fact that we had a lot of good games
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season. We had this momentum.
Speaker 1: Let's continue that. Let's just totally ignore that this happened,
Speaker 1: and let's try to move back to what we were before.
Speaker 1: I think it's actually a good play by Ross because
Speaker 1: as players, you don't want to get in this mental
Speaker 1: head game of thinking like, oh, we're off now, you know,
Speaker 1: our momentum is gone. We don't know what we're doing anymore.
Speaker 1: We're going to question everything. It's like, nah, go back
Speaker 1: to what was working. You had one bad game. These
Speaker 1: things happen, Just move on. Let's try to continue the
Speaker 1: momentum at the beginning the year. And I think it's
Speaker 1: a smart play by ross Lyin.
Speaker 2: Because otherwise you can sit there right. You come off
Speaker 2: a game and you're thinking, God, I don't want to
Speaker 2: go in for the Monday meeting. I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go in.
Speaker 1: It's a real no eye contact with the coach type deal.
Speaker 2: But if they tell you after the game, boys, let's
Speaker 2: not stress. Put this one aside.
Speaker 1: There's one person we know that doesn't stress anymore. It's
Speaker 1: all Rossy Lion.
Speaker 2: They walked into the rooms. The reggae was playing One Love. Now.
Speaker 2: Let me intro this because I got a little sudden.
Speaker 1: The other podcast we should that would be good.
Speaker 2: I'm hot Box with Mike Tyson. You've got the smoke
Speaker 2: billowing out the windows, wine down the windows like the
Speaker 2: manual ones.
Speaker 1: I had to zoom in on that one.
Speaker 2: I like that one. But here we go the moment
Speaker 2: everyone's been waiting for.
Speaker 1: Listen speech show.
Speaker 2: Well it's the big show, mate.
Speaker 1: I have never heard that song in my life.
Speaker 2: Well it's a big show. Okay, big show. Wwwe great?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, seven foot five hundred pounder. Well he paled
Speaker 2: in comparison to Mason Cops on the weekend, who absolutely
Speaker 2: dominated the giants. They weren't giants. This man was the
Speaker 2: giant on the day. I'm talking about like you kicked
Speaker 2: twelve girls. Hyped, We'll get into it this way. Everyone's like,
Speaker 2: I fucking hate that guy because every time he plays
Speaker 2: an okay game, everyone's like, this guy's a king. But
Speaker 2: let's jump into it because the game kicked off in
Speaker 2: it outstanding fashion. Bobby coming up against his old side
Speaker 2: for the first time, and what does he do.
Speaker 1: His fiftieth game, comes up against the old rivals as
Speaker 1: old team, he goes, boys and girls, I'm stuck in
Speaker 1: the corner. Well I Skinche all this one through like
Speaker 1: an absolute.
Speaker 2: G He did everything right too. He looked inside so
Speaker 2: many times and he's like, fucking boys, come on, give
Speaker 2: me something and dropped it on his foot, dribbled it
Speaker 2: through around the corner. It was so pretty. It was
Speaker 2: very pretty, very Bobby asked, oh, the dazzler. But let's
Speaker 2: jump into your game. So during the week, your first ruckman,
Speaker 2: Billy Frampton groin injury at training.
Speaker 1: Second ruck Mason Cox, has to step up play this.
Speaker 1: Billy Frampton goes into training right and he's gone. Mace's back.
Speaker 1: Don't need to go into the ruck anymore. Boys going
Speaker 1: back to the back line, can just show face for
Speaker 1: a little bit. He goes back, he plays well in training,
Speaker 1: goes well in training, ride very end of it, groin pings,
Speaker 1: and yours truly is gone. All right here he goes
Speaker 1: the back up. Ask Johnson, how you bed so keen?
Speaker 2: Well, it was funny because the week before your first
Speaker 2: week back, Billy Frampton comes out and has thirty taps
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's like, mate, you're getting a bit too good.
Speaker 2: You're gonna just pull it back a bit. I think
Speaker 2: you must have gave him a little money under the table.
Speaker 2: Be like, mate, have a week off this week. I
Speaker 2: need some cloun I need some attention. Back to big Mace. Uh,
Speaker 2: you're dulling my shine, big fellow. But Mace goes out there,
Speaker 2: starts out. You played a lot of game time, and
Speaker 2: you I seen elderly people walk around smoother than you've
Speaker 2: been walking around this morning, grunting, stepping up the van,
Speaker 2: sitting on the kitch. How's the body, how's the big
Speaker 2: rig feeling?
Speaker 1: It's absolutely cooked. I would say the farm, but refrained
Speaker 1: from it. It's funny though, I remember whenever Billy played
Speaker 1: his first game in the Rock he was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you do it. I am sore in
Speaker 1: so many places I did know where possible, and my
Speaker 1: body just aches everywhere. And that's just the feeling whatever.
Speaker 1: Your rockman takes two or three days to get back
Speaker 1: to normal walking and it just it just the body
Speaker 1: just sore, just soared so many places. But we o
Speaker 1: that one over the weekend, and you're happy with that,
Speaker 1: and at least it was for a good cause.
Speaker 2: Now you had nine marks, I think nine marks from
Speaker 2: the game and you're floating around. You're doing it everywhere.
Speaker 2: I saw you get one back. You went back with
Speaker 2: the flight. You're marking them down the line. Good option
Speaker 2: that Collingwood hasn't had for a while. Now, when did
Speaker 2: you know that you were on There's got to be
Speaker 2: a point where you're like, oh god, it's sticking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's this sticky night. It was a great,
Speaker 1: you know, sunny day, and then you get the nice
Speaker 1: little dew of the the mcg you get a bit
Speaker 1: of grippa on the hands, and it's just there's a
Speaker 1: certain temperature, I think, and there's a certain a certain
Speaker 1: environment and the baramic pressures go barometric. Petro's got to
Speaker 1: be perfect, perfect for a big man, and you just
Speaker 1: see him sticking and Jesse, Hey, Jesse Hogan was sticking
Speaker 1: them too, that man I fought was going well too.
Speaker 1: So I think it was one of those days the
Speaker 1: big man I going, if there's a day to have
Speaker 1: a day, it's to day. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I was like, Jesse's always got a big task
Speaker 2: coming up. I always look at two things and it's,
Speaker 2: you know, the small forward for the opposition. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: guys like you, You've either got to play on Brandon Maynard,
Speaker 2: who's going to punch out, or you got to play
Speaker 2: on Quain is.
Speaker 1: One of the best one on one players in the league.
Speaker 2: He's lost I still don't believe it because it's such
Speaker 2: a ridiculous stat but he's lost one one on one
Speaker 2: for the year.
Speaker 1: It's funny though, because in the game I was watching it,
Speaker 1: he had to one on one out the back and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, don't. I was like, keep
Speaker 1: this streak alive. Every Yeah, he's folding and I was like,
Speaker 1: streaks alive.
Speaker 2: Well, that more convinces me that the streak's a thing,
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, that's the thing, because I don't how
Speaker 2: can you only lose one for the year.
Speaker 1: He's a freak. He's a freak athlete and he just
Speaker 1: he just absolutely scraps for everything. Him and John Noble
Speaker 1: Man like in Brazilian themselves. To everyone in the back line,
Speaker 1: it's you see these players, I just refuse to give up,
Speaker 1: refuse to give up.
Speaker 2: Let's walk through your game because there's a bit to dissect.
Speaker 2: So you started well, clunking a few marks, drift forward,
Speaker 2: take a mark, fefty out. I'm gonna say fifty out,
Speaker 2: so you would have gone back, probably have to kick
Speaker 2: it just outside fifty. What's going through the head?
Speaker 1: Well, the first thing is where's the handball received? I'll
Speaker 1: look it back Braidon Maynard, Jordy someone. I think at
Speaker 1: one point Braden was like oh oh, oh no, no no,
Speaker 1: and then there's soon next to him. Then Jordy asked
Speaker 1: for it, and I really probably should have gave it
Speaker 1: to Jordy, I'll be honest, And I was like, got
Speaker 1: to the point, there's maybe ten fifteen seconds left, I've
Speaker 1: exhausted all my options for a handball receive, and I've
Speaker 1: gone top of the square. Do we kicked topless pizel?
Speaker 1: I'm sure Checks is probably pointing, he's gone, he's no
Speaker 1: chance of making the distance here, just pop it up,
Speaker 1: pop it up. I'll try to clock one. And I've gone, Nah,
Speaker 1: I've got this, mate, I've got this. You know I've
Speaker 1: I've shown plenty of promise from fifty out the.
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth points into the stands. This one's going along. Fellas,
Speaker 2: we're giving a fair whack of this thing. And I
Speaker 2: think you told me I like my plant. It was
Speaker 2: fifty one meters proof, it was outside fifty It's proof.
Speaker 2: And as soon as I hit it, I struck it,
Speaker 2: I knew it made the distance. God knows where it
Speaker 2: was going to go. I know I made the distance,
Speaker 2: and that was my big question mark.
Speaker 1: So as soon as I looked up, I'm just kind
Speaker 1: of had about the three seconds to watch itself through,
Speaker 1: gave the Peter Pan pos and just gave a little
Speaker 1: tick of the box.
Speaker 2: I had full faith and every colling with supporter at home.
Speaker 2: The favorite part almost was when it cuts to the
Speaker 2: bench and flies just pissing him.
Speaker 1: He's probably like, pissed I actually tried to do it.
Speaker 1: He's probably thinking like I was with Jade and Stevens
Speaker 1: and no, he tried to barrel one from fifty five
Speaker 1: and slaughtered it.
Speaker 2: He's probably already got the bake sitting in his head.
Speaker 2: He's like rehearsed. He's like when he gets to the bench,
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit him with this one. It's a
Speaker 2: good line. I've got a good joke for him or something.
Speaker 2: Or now he's like a bitch. He goes, how much
Speaker 2: confidence do you have on that one? I said, none,
Speaker 2: Just as bad as much as you probably had on that.
Speaker 2: You took one back with the flight, Yeah against Nick Haynes.
Speaker 2: Fully Poster got up there. He got a full taste
Speaker 2: of the Mason Cocks coming back. But you weren't able
Speaker 2: to finish that one off.
Speaker 1: Full taste of the Cocks.
Speaker 2: But I didn't finish, didn't finish unfortunately, couldn't finish, but
Speaker 2: you did get one on him later and just went
Speaker 2: and let him know it wasn't really on him.
Speaker 1: It was on Flynn, but he did ended up standing
Speaker 1: the mark. I wanted. Whenever you take a mark on
Speaker 1: a ruckman, right like, let's say you're a rock one
Speaker 1: v one, you've pushed forward into the forward line, you
Speaker 1: take a mark on him, you want him to stand
Speaker 1: in the mark. You want him just to stand there
Speaker 1: and be like, you know what, Yep, this is your fault.
Speaker 1: This is all you're doing, and you're gonna enjoy this
Speaker 1: little spectacle that's about to unwind in front of you.
Speaker 1: Kicking a goal in front of your face. Rock v
Speaker 1: Rock stuff. It's a real one on one just in
Speaker 1: the head between the ears type mentality thing. And unfortunately
Speaker 1: Hayes is that went on the bar. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: it until after it because I kicked the goal and
Speaker 1: I kind of jogged up thinking it was Fleming. Then
Speaker 1: this last second I realized it was Haynes, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, so I just can't really talk shit
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: Just walked right up to him and just stood next
Speaker 2: day because.
Speaker 1: The last second I realized you're not the person I want.
Speaker 2: To talk shit too, but I do want you to
Speaker 2: walk through this. Back with the flight mark was actually
Speaker 2: super impressive, really good kick coming in from I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say yeah, Bo, who had an absolute off the charts games.
Speaker 1: Because his mom gave the greatest pop up speech of
Speaker 1: all time before the game.
Speaker 2: His mom's iconic.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: The first selection video. If you haven't seen that one,
Speaker 2: go back where she's just baking him in front of
Speaker 2: all the boys. But he sees you, I'm going to say,
Speaker 2: he sees you streaming through the guts. How far away
Speaker 2: did you run from? Did you know what was coming?
Speaker 2: What's the did you fear for your life at any point?
Speaker 1: To be honest, I was probably lazy coming back in defense.
Speaker 1: Just the cherry peck. Here we go now. Once I
Speaker 1: saw a bird kind of break free. You can see
Speaker 1: because you can see everyone in front of end where
Speaker 1: everyone's going. Everyone's just kind of pushing forward, pushing forward, lengthening,
Speaker 1: and no one was through the middle. So I was
Speaker 1: just kind of trotting there going like waving my hands,
Speaker 1: going like, bo, please see me inside. And the fact
Speaker 1: that they all popped in front. I think of the
Speaker 1: defending kind of looked like fat side and he just
Speaker 1: sees this big draft just stumbling forward and just goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll just throw it up in the air and hopefully
Speaker 1: it comes down with it. And yeah, I didn't have
Speaker 1: anyone on me, so Nick James was I think playing
Speaker 1: on Jamie Elliott. I think it was lengthening the goal
Speaker 1: square whoever it was, and.
Speaker 2: He pulled up. Jamie was like, I'm not getting involved in.
Speaker 1: I'm good. But the thing is, though, it's like if
Speaker 1: I don't make that mark, then Jamie's their ground level.
Speaker 1: It's a goal anyway because we've got out number. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that was kind of the play by play, but yeah,
Speaker 1: happy that bow kind of saw me out the corner
Speaker 1: of his eye and decided to pop one up.
Speaker 2: It was I just couldn't help but think it's a
Speaker 2: real poster from the you know, NBA legs wrapped around
Speaker 2: this poor guy just.
Speaker 1: Didn't see if it all coming either. It It hurt.
Speaker 2: Oh what did hurt?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It hurt, Brandon. You don't need to say anymore. Now.
Speaker 2: There was a circumstance and I think this every time,
Speaker 2: but there was a ball up on the goal line
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, don't hit it fucking through.
Speaker 1: Now, why was everyone laughing down there? I was okay,
Speaker 1: So in my head, right, I'm still learning a few things, Brighten.
Speaker 1: I'm still learning what's acceptable and what's not whenever it
Speaker 1: comes to umpiring, and I'm learning like all of us,
Speaker 1: and the balls of ball up maybe five four or
Speaker 1: five meters out from the goal line. In my mind,
Speaker 1: I'm like, easy, just throw it through. All good, and
Speaker 1: I just lock eyes with Tom Mitchell. I think he
Speaker 1: sees it. Mys It's like, you, dumb fuck, don't do this.
Speaker 1: Don't don't do this, and he looks at me, goes,
Speaker 1: do not punch it through the point post space and
Speaker 1: I was like, what it's like, do not punch it through.
Speaker 1: It will be a free kick against. And I was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. So I was learning end game in real
Speaker 1: time rules about the game. So yeah. So Tom gave
Speaker 1: me a little bit of a help there, which was
Speaker 1: quite funny. It made me laugh in the game because
Speaker 1: I legitimately had no idea and then you put one down.
Speaker 1: I think we had a second stop at whoever it was.
Speaker 1: But I learned a lesson in the middle of the game.
Speaker 1: And that's not the punch of three as a rock contest.
Speaker 2: You're only almost ten years into the.
Speaker 1: Game, so the first time it's happened to me, So
Speaker 1: be fair.
Speaker 2: It's a fast changing, fast evolving game.
Speaker 1: Now I want to I want to talk about one
Speaker 1: last thing because I know Sarah, like she interviewed me
Speaker 1: after the game. She said about these fantasy point things,
Speaker 1: I don't understand how they work. To be honest, I'm
Speaker 1: still question marking, but she was like, you were like
Speaker 1: two or three points off, like getting your high fantasy
Speaker 1: points where if it is, you know, right. And it
Speaker 1: made me think because at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench is maybe five minutes ago, and
Speaker 1: Jerry Way's hop performance manager goes, do you want to
Speaker 1: come back on? You know, like we needed pull Checkers
Speaker 1: off between you and Will, And I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll go back on. And then Will was on the
Speaker 1: other side of the bench and Checkers kind of came
Speaker 1: off and You kind of looked at me and he's like, Noah,
Speaker 1: will go ahead, and I kind of like looked at Will.
Speaker 1: We were just kind of laughing about like who wants
Speaker 1: the last you know, minut and a half of playing,
Speaker 1: you know, like who wants to go on? Will goes on?
Speaker 1: Just run straight to the golf square and just gets
Speaker 1: a free goal, just a free goal very into the game,
Speaker 1: with like a minute laught and I looked back to
Speaker 1: Jerry Wade. I was like that motherfucker, and he just
Speaker 1: had an absolute laugh the fact that I just gave
Speaker 1: him one to just have another little little breath on
Speaker 1: the sideline, just chill out.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess you got to let some people have
Speaker 2: a go. Mates, you're out there, just give someone else
Speaker 2: a kick.
Speaker 1: That would have got you.
Speaker 2: To twenty and three, which would have been pretty good,
Speaker 2: that would have tipped you over the data ranking points
Speaker 2: score thing that like no one knows what it actually.
Speaker 1: I don't bet, I don't know these things are calculated.
Speaker 2: It's like a sports data thing. It's not it's not betting,
Speaker 2: but it was like fantasy points or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Someone that you would have been sitting alongside on the bench,
Speaker 2: Scott Pendlebury taken out of the game. Is there anything
Speaker 2: wrong with with the rolls Royce Scott Pendlebury.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think he's all right. After
Speaker 1: the game said your eyes, yeah, well good. I think
Speaker 1: we just I mean, like you get to the point
Speaker 1: where the sub, right, like the subrings extra in. But
Speaker 1: we didn't have any injuries on the day, so it
Speaker 1: was kind of those things of like who do you
Speaker 1: take off and conserve energy from and like maybe you
Speaker 1: try to extend there kind of season And it was like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: Peddles can come off and like, yeah, he's an unselfish player,
Speaker 1: and then Reef goes into the ford line because like
Speaker 1: you just you don't want to have the subset of
Speaker 1: the whole game and not play. It's like you might
Speaker 1: as well bring in fresh legs. So it was probably
Speaker 1: the awkward one of I mean, like I think Bobby
Speaker 1: it happened to him a couple of weeks ago. Bobby
Speaker 1: came off and you know he was he got subbed
Speaker 1: off even though he was playing all right. But it's
Speaker 1: the whole thing of like who do you kind of
Speaker 1: take off to bring in fresh legs just because you
Speaker 1: have that option. I think Pendles are just the one
Speaker 1: on the day that you know, maybe it was just
Speaker 1: like you know what, I'm good, I've done my job.
Speaker 1: You know, I've played one hundred and thirty nine games
Speaker 1: that I've woned the mcg and broken the record today.
Speaker 1: I'm tick the box. I'm good, just gonna hang out
Speaker 1: in the back bench.
Speaker 2: Most wins ever at the MCG in the history of
Speaker 2: the sport.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty big achievement. And he just keeps ticking
Speaker 2: them off and he's still still got to He's gonna
Speaker 2: keep pushing that for a long way yet. And we
Speaker 2: got Darcy Cameron look coming back in the next is
Speaker 2: he going to be It might be back this week DC,
Speaker 2: which would be Yeah. It's massive.
Speaker 1: I mean like it was a real kind of like
Speaker 1: nervous time from whenever he had his knee injury and
Speaker 1: it wasn't really sure what happened. And he's been hitting
Speaker 1: the gym. He's been hitting the gym and running and
Speaker 1: everything else. Like every time I go in there, he's
Speaker 1: just sweating a storm up, whether it be lifting weights
Speaker 1: or just getting off the track, like he's been putting
Speaker 1: the work in. So he's he's set to hopefully have
Speaker 1: a really good comeback and if he's if he's available
Speaker 1: this week, they'll probably offload a bit of that rock
Speaker 1: stuff from ass Johnson and they'll be back to kind
Speaker 1: of normality with myself in DC splitting that rock roll
Speaker 1: so exciting times. And you know, you got the other
Speaker 1: players and Lips coming back hopefully soon, and damn stay
Speaker 1: he's coming back soon, hopefully. And some of these players
Speaker 1: that were probably in our best twenty two come round
Speaker 1: one are now kind of getting healthy again. So hopefully
Speaker 1: we can, you know, cross our fingers, get them back
Speaker 1: as soon as possible and then have a healthy team and.
Speaker 2: Hopefully take the pressure off them to have to return
Speaker 2: quickly because you get in the wins. It's not like God,
Speaker 2: I got to come in because we're under the pump.
Speaker 2: It's good that hopefully these guys can have a proper
Speaker 2: recovery and then have you a full tilt at it
Speaker 2: in the second half of the year. Now, let's jump
