Speaker 1: Hey, legends, Welcome back to the Mason Cock Show. Big,
Speaker 1: big stories and headlines in the AFL. This week, Buddy
Speaker 1: plays three hundred and fifty games. We've got text Walker, Yes,
Speaker 1: he kicks a bag of times. Two he kicks ten.
Speaker 1: We've got two meter Peter kicks five. Also the bigs.
Speaker 1: We're on fire around the league. There's so much going
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: Way, surely, and we'll talk about the petruck.
Speaker 1: We'll save that for the end. We'll serve it for
Speaker 1: the end. Okay, Sol's gonna be a great episode. Let's
Speaker 1: go all right, let's get into it. Welcome Brandon.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Mace. We I normally say good a,
Speaker 2: but it's good night because we're postgame after the mcg
Speaker 2: flash against Melbourne Demons. But we'll get to that because
Speaker 2: we have plenty to talk about this week. So we'll
Speaker 2: jump in as we always do with our clanger, and
Speaker 2: I'm taking it outside of footy because this one, I
Speaker 2: was just sitting up having a nice glass of red
Speaker 2: the Chiraz and I was watching the Cricket Box one
Speaker 2: and Steven Smith smudger. As you would obviously know that he's.
Speaker 1: I've met Steve Smith. Actually you wouldn't believe it really
Speaker 1: sugar his hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, maybe have a word to him because this
Speaker 2: was out of line. He's I'm hitting him up with
Speaker 2: a clanger, and I'm clanging him hard. So he's facing
Speaker 2: the bowler's about to run in. Steve Smith, the world's
Speaker 2: watching the big stage over there, and he stops the
Speaker 2: whole game. He points out a bloke sitting second story
Speaker 2: back row. He says, that guy there wearing a red shirt,
Speaker 2: can't have that. Get him out of here. Okay, get
Speaker 2: him out of here. He's putting me off, this guy.
Speaker 2: So they got the sight screen so you can see
Speaker 2: the bowler coming in and you can see the ball
Speaker 2: in his hand and stuff. And this guy is about
Speaker 2: fifty meters above the bloody sight screen out having a
Speaker 2: beer because he's paid his admission money.
Speaker 3: Having a flag of doing anything distractive, having a quiet beer,
Speaker 3: second level back row. So and he's like. The guy
Speaker 3: moves a few seats over and he's like okay. He
Speaker 3: sits back down and he's like, no, what do you
Speaker 3: get out?
Speaker 2: Get out? So the security coming in and security is like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man, it was like Steve Smith. So he
Speaker 2: drags me out underneath this like scaffolding, and he's like
Speaker 2: watching between this scaffolding and drinking his beer, gets a refund,
Speaker 2: get stuffed that stuff. That's I know, he's one of ours. Mate.
Speaker 1: Come we just took the shirt off, like you don't
Speaker 1: like the car ride? Have a pasty white?
Speaker 2: You care? Yeah, man, if I sat down with no shirt,
Speaker 2: that's like a reflect exactly, that's way worse. So I'm
Speaker 2: giving Steve Smith the big clanger. You can't be doing that, Smith,
Speaker 2: Come on, Smudge.
Speaker 1: I'll go with my klanger is a very interesting one.
Speaker 1: Close to home now, my father and my mother are
Speaker 1: both in town still. My dad he went out for
Speaker 1: a few drinks with another player's parents the other day, right,
Speaker 1: and I got sent a video for my mother of
Speaker 1: my dad doing a bit of a jig little kins,
Speaker 1: you know, in the hof House over there in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Then a little night out and apparently rumor on the
Speaker 1: street is is he was getting fed free drinks because
Speaker 1: the other person's dad was saying, oh, Collingwood family here,
Speaker 1: Mason Cox is down over there, and they were just
Speaker 1: hype and Collingwood fans in there, and they were just
Speaker 1: giving them drinks left, right, and certain having a good
Speaker 1: old time and the video will forever live an in
Speaker 1: for me in our family group chat.
Speaker 2: He at least it worked like if he was like, hey,
Speaker 2: it's Mason Cox's dad and they were like yes, so
Speaker 2: so that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: And I want where is Collingwood kit everywhere? He just
Speaker 1: wants to talk about footy to everyone. It's so good.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to see these dance moves.
Speaker 2: You got to share this video. You got to get
Speaker 2: it out there, getting about it, get approval for you. First,
Speaker 2: he's doing the robot. I could see him doing the worm,
Speaker 2: the filthy feel worm talent. I learnt two bits of
Speaker 2: German back in the day jubist thunder shown and I think,
Speaker 2: I think that means you are you are beautiful. Oh
Speaker 2: so I had of course I had two lines. I
Speaker 2: had two lines and much and suka better, which I
Speaker 2: think means milk and sugar please, because I was like,
Speaker 2: you are beautiful as the starter and then milk and
Speaker 2: sugar please in the mornings left.
Speaker 1: Right and scenerio. That's good. But you we'll get into
Speaker 1: the footy chat. Sydney versus the Saints now big big
Speaker 1: game for Sydney Buddy's three point fiftieth absolute legend. It's
Speaker 1: another milestone this week. Absolutely just incredible what he's doing.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately Sydney at home lose to the Saints.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's good that the Saints are still up there.
Speaker 2: People thought they might have slid out by now, but
Speaker 2: they're sticking fast and yeah, just another tough loss for Sydney.
Speaker 2: Got to probably think that it's over for them now,
Speaker 2: I'm going to put that out there. But yeah, Buddy
Speaker 2: Franklin three hundred and fifty games, he just keeps checking
Speaker 2: off the milestones. Yeah, and obviously he moved to fourth
Speaker 2: all time goalkicker. That's another massive accomplishment.
Speaker 1: The Living Legends you are playing.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the Western Bulldog's Port game, because, oh boy,
Speaker 2: if they finished top two, they are going to be
Speaker 2: a scary prospect.
Speaker 1: Especially in Adelaide. Playing that first game in Adelaide, that's
Speaker 1: going to be a tough game forever's playing against them.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's nuts. There was a fair few incidents in
Speaker 2: this game. Now, there was a great moment. It really
Speaker 2: showed where port was at. Zach Butters and Tom Libertore
Speaker 2: going head to head at a stoppage like really lipping
Speaker 2: off to each other and then Butters gets it, shrugs off,
Speaker 2: Libber kicks the ball in horn, Francis picks it up,
Speaker 2: wheels around, burns like four players and just slots the goal.
Speaker 2: It was the moment where it's like these guys are scary,
Speaker 2: like like they just moved it so smooth like all night.
Speaker 2: It was great finlacer our boy, fins up, fins up.
Speaker 2: He kicked the goal and gave the shush celebration to
Speaker 2: the crowd, which don't We always love it. And there
Speaker 2: was a moment where Cody Weightman snapped a goal and
Speaker 2: it went through, but there was a bump on the
Speaker 2: line of shepherd on the line. Now, normally you can
Speaker 2: borderline get away with murder on the line.
Speaker 1: So you can get away with murder on the line.
Speaker 1: It's not borderline at all.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's like w W easpeck with a steel chair.
Speaker 2: You can almost get away with it. But yeah, they
Speaker 2: called it shepherding on the line.
Speaker 1: First of all, I've seen that in a very very
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 2: Very long time. So bit stiff. Yeah, another big win
Speaker 2: for Port. They just keep checking it off. Bulldogs still
Speaker 2: in it, but they're just I don't know. They're making
Speaker 2: it hard on themselves.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a nice They're gonna have a few
Speaker 1: challenges in the back end of the season and try
Speaker 1: to make that top eight. So it's gonna be interesting. They're
Speaker 1: a bit of a must watch for sure. I want
Speaker 1: to give a shout out Jason Hordon Francis socks up.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it, but I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of the socks up. So Jason Francis, you keep that up.
Speaker 1: It's gonna become a thing. It's very Nathan Buckley s
Speaker 1: very much.
Speaker 2: So, oh, let's jump into this one.
Speaker 1: You can meet.
Speaker 2: I told you, we have said there's a few games
Speaker 2: of your circle in the fixture. Now. Hawthorne v. Brisbane,
Speaker 2: big blockbuster clash, Brisbane coming down. They've got to prove
Speaker 2: themselves at the g Well, they couldn't do that against
Speaker 2: the lowly Hawks. It was a crazy upset.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Hawthorne just keep showing signs. Last week they got blown
Speaker 2: out of the water early against Port and then they
Speaker 2: managed to kick ninety six points or whatever. And this
Speaker 2: is another one where their offense was on point, like
Speaker 2: they scored a big score against a really good team
Speaker 2: and got the dub.
Speaker 1: I mean, ever since this Tasmania team came on board,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Hawthorne stepped it up. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: there's a coincidence here. I'm just stating facts. Ever since
Speaker 1: that announcement came out, Hawthorn kick an ass. But I
Speaker 1: will say this for Hawthorne fans out there, it'd be very,
Speaker 1: very excited for what's to come. I think this signs
Speaker 1: like this and getting these wins against good teams, quality
Speaker 1: teams like Brisbane, it's a sign of the future that
Speaker 1: there's definitely going to be some success in a few
Speaker 1: years time.
Speaker 2: I like these years where a few teams that have
Speaker 2: been down to the bottom for a bit. Not saying
Speaker 2: that Hawthorne is one of those because obviously they just
Speaker 2: used to win everything, but you know, there's actual signs
Speaker 2: for these clubs coming through North Melbourne showing really good science,
Speaker 2: Hawthorn showing good science listen and coming up showing good science.
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of these teams this year that
Speaker 2: there's always like a transition year where some of the
Speaker 2: bigger teams start to drop down and some of the
Speaker 2: lower teams start to climb up and you love to
Speaker 2: see it because we don't want those We want an
Speaker 2: equal competition. We don't want, you know, Geelong in the
Speaker 2: finals every bloody year and Sydney up the top every
Speaker 2: bloody year. Give someone else to go rotate around a
Speaker 2: little bit. Now, there was a moment in this where
Speaker 2: Cisily got a McCluggage in a real awkward tackle. Now,
Speaker 2: the way I saw it live, I thought that it
Speaker 2: was just a really unfortunate event, like an unfortunate circumstance.
Speaker 2: It looked really ugly and mcluggage's head got caught up
Speaker 2: under his body which really cranked his neck, and they
Speaker 2: brought the stretcher out. But it was one of those
Speaker 2: moments and we see it, you know, fairly often where
Speaker 2: the big staunch bloke wants to walk off the ground
Speaker 2: and say that he's all right and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: when it's just maybe we go if the stretchers out there,
Speaker 2: we just jump on the street.
Speaker 1: You got to take it. You don't need to lay down.
Speaker 1: Maybe you just sit on the back if you feel
Speaker 1: good enough, just.
Speaker 2: Go for a cruise. Mate. There's like, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I get like it's great that they can show their
Speaker 2: friends and family and stuff watching along that they're okay,
Speaker 2: they can walk off under their own power, but just
Speaker 2: get on a cruise off.
Speaker 1: It was a nomal at tackle all. Like I didn't
Speaker 1: in the moment, it kind of looked like just kind
Speaker 1: of you know, bodies kind of hit each other and stuff.
Speaker 1: But looking back at it.
Speaker 2: Because there was a third body involved in it, yeah.
Speaker 1: And it just seemed like as though, I can you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not really too sure the details. Have to look
Speaker 1: at it again, but it seems as though he kind
Speaker 1: of hit his head and that kind of knocked him
Speaker 1: around for a bit. So once again Cicily goes to
Speaker 1: the tribunal figure out kind of where it lands. It's
Speaker 1: a lot, I mean, this is happening every single game.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's someone with a question mirk around it.
Speaker 1: And the MRO was getting plenty of use this year,
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting again to see how
Speaker 1: they determine what is correct, what's not, what's acceptable, what's
Speaker 1: not And yeah, there'll be another opportunity for them to
Speaker 1: try to guard to in the right direction.
Speaker 2: It's so hard because you're like you're trying to figure
Speaker 2: out players intent and it's such a gray area as
Speaker 2: we know everything in footy years, it's just a big
Speaker 2: old gray area. As Razor Ray said, that's what we
Speaker 2: love about the game.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's jump into this one because we got the
Speaker 2: big text Walker Adelaide West Coast now is Texas Big
Speaker 2: two fiftieth and came out and just shot the lights out.
Speaker 2: He kicked his first goal with in like thirty seconds
Speaker 2: of the first bounce, and you just you knew he
Speaker 2: was on loves the snag the big Texan. I feel
Speaker 2: like we did the Texas Walker range. I always feel
Speaker 2: when I hear his name, it's like the it's like
Speaker 2: the showdown in like a Clint Eastwood like spaghetti Western.
Speaker 2: That just yeah, a big Texan. We love to say.
Speaker 2: It came out slotted ten goals. I think ten to
Speaker 2: one as well. So you talk about accuracy, he's always
Speaker 2: been a great kick too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was phenomenally. It was kind of
Speaker 1: the point whereas you know the crowd gets hyped every
Speaker 1: time the ball goes near him, you know, you kind
Speaker 1: of get this like that, you hear the crowd just
Speaker 1: going when he kicks it, and neveryone loses their mind.
Speaker 1: It was cool, like to see someone in their you know,
Speaker 1: milestone game two fifty to have his best goalkicking night
Speaker 1: of his career. I'm sure it would have meant a
Speaker 1: lot to him, and you know West Coast. Unfortunately they're
Speaker 1: demolished by injury. We all know that, but for him,
Speaker 1: it would have been a cool experience to sit there
Speaker 1: and know that every single ball, every single time the
Speaker 1: ball is going inside fifty, you're the target.
Speaker 2: Like good news story coming out of it for West Coast. So,
Speaker 2: eighteen year old mid season rookie pick Ryan Marreck kicked
Speaker 2: his first goal with his first kick ten days after
Speaker 2: being picked up in the mid season.
Speaker 1: Drafts to the club. First kick, first goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just, you know, a good news story.
Speaker 1: I mean, ten days after getting drafted. Can you imagine,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where he's from. Can you imagine going
Speaker 1: into a professional environment like West Coast, knowing what's going
Speaker 1: on there, and you're going, I'm going to have to
Speaker 1: perform at the highest level in a very very short turnaround.
Speaker 2: And you're going into hustle territory. You're going into Adelaide
Speaker 2: against Adelaide.
Speaker 1: An amazing experience for him and his family, though, just
Speaker 1: to like how quickly life turns around and then they
Speaker 1: would have been so hyped. Unfortunately, yeah, they got the lost,
Speaker 1: but like his family, the memory of that for him
Speaker 1: will be something he'll always looked back on.
Speaker 2: Finally, and there was something that normally we don't say
Speaker 2: stuff without knowing our facts because we're very accurate podcast,
Speaker 2: but I think that was something that he played for
Speaker 2: like six different clubs in the leader to being picked up,
Speaker 2: which is crazy, so great news story. There's plenty of
Speaker 2: those stories that are going to come out of West
Speaker 2: Coast because they're just playing whoever they can put out
Speaker 2: on the park.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Nicknat knoww he's out for the year too, so
Speaker 1: I want to see him play man. He's a phenomenal player,
Speaker 1: guy that people just get up for and you know
Speaker 1: every time he gets around the ball, you feel like
Speaker 1: something exciting is going to happen. But unfortunately for him,
Speaker 1: the injury wills continue on and hopefully he can get
Speaker 1: up for next year.
Speaker 2: After I said that we were very inaccurate, I should
Speaker 2: have given myself the clanger for last week. So I
Speaker 2: think we went around in circles. So I said TiO
Speaker 2: was in cans. Yeah, you screwed this up, which was
Speaker 2: in the no. But we both didn't pick up on this.
Speaker 2: So I said TiO was in Cans and Cans was
Speaker 2: in the Northern Territory. Now I did myself a favor
Speaker 2: and I cut out that first part, but I left
Speaker 2: the second party. And as I like a little teaser
Speaker 2: me saying Kansas in Queensland. As we all know well,
Speaker 2: the game was at TiO in Darwin, Darwin in the
Speaker 2: Northern Territory. Cans nothing to do with it. No one
Speaker 2: went to Kans anyway.
Speaker 3: We love Kans, Kansas, Queensland in Northern Territory.
Speaker 2: We'll just clear a few things up. Let's now let's
Speaker 2: jump over to Freemantle.
Speaker 1: Per in Perth International game.
Speaker 2: So Freeo versus Richmond.
Speaker 1: We've been on the Frio bandwagon. We're on the tray
Speaker 1: and Chip Chip and I.
Speaker 2: Thought LONGI had it all figured out and he was
Speaker 2: back on track. Now there's a little derailment, not a
Speaker 2: big catastrophic one, just you know, maybe maybe one or
Speaker 2: two wheels off the track. But free I just couldn't
Speaker 2: get the job done over Richmond. Richmond just decided to
Speaker 2: show up and yeah, they just they got another w
Speaker 2: going back to back with.
Speaker 1: It coach getting a few dubs on the board.
Speaker 2: Now there's one block that Cane Korns might have talked
Speaker 2: some shit about earlier in the year. Could be well,
Speaker 2: it could have been half.
Speaker 1: Could be any number of players in the AFL.
Speaker 2: With Timmy Taranto. I don't know if you heard of
Speaker 2: this kid. He's he's playing some pretty good footy. He
Speaker 2: kicked another two goals and thirty five to go with
Speaker 2: his average of thirty five and about three goals for
Speaker 2: the year. I just want to do you reckon?
Speaker 1: Do you reckon?
Speaker 2: He's scraped inside the top one fifty?
Speaker 1: Is he nine? Maybe? Yeah, yes, I would say he's
Speaker 1: in the top one fifty. I think Kane krns now
Speaker 1: because burd has been playing the lights out for the
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Kane Korns is just kind of sitting
Speaker 1: in the back, just hoping no one brings it up
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 2: He's got to say something big to get the heat
Speaker 2: off him. I reckon. Maybe tim Taranto knocked himself into
Speaker 2: the one fifty and knocked Jeremy Cameron outside.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, we're a big fans
Speaker 1: of jazz.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying this is what like Caine can say,
Speaker 2: just that he's got to say something to.
Speaker 1: Get that ridiculous about. Yeah, okay, yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 1: Sounds about right. Well, there was one really awesome thing
Speaker 1: about this game, and he's a lovely human. Nat Fife
Speaker 1: had a goal from the corner, it was, I think,
Speaker 1: and he just bullet darted one through the through the post.
Speaker 1: And good to see him back, good to see him
Speaker 1: playing again. He's an absolute legend. I actually ran into him.
Speaker 1: It's a side story, but I actually ran into him.
Speaker 1: He's in the same flight to the US as me
Speaker 1: over the offseason. I ran into him and he was
Speaker 1: seriously just the nicest human, most laid back, like nicest
Speaker 1: guy and just whenever you meet those people like away
Speaker 1: from the actual like you know, the gladiator type arena
Speaker 1: scenario that AFL is and they're just genuine humans, Like, man,
Speaker 1: I love this guy. He's such a nice fellow.
Speaker 2: Do you get starstruck by anyone in the league.
Speaker 1: In the league, maybe Buddy, Buddy would Buddy would be
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say starstrucks by the right word, but like
Speaker 1: an insane amount of respect for him, Like I think
Speaker 1: it was the best way to because it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've played against them, You shap hands, you chat on
Speaker 1: the field, all that kind of stuff. But I think
Speaker 1: whenever you see someone who's meant so much the AFL
Speaker 1: over a long period of time like that, he's someone
Speaker 1: you I don't know, just having Yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: a massive, massive amount of respect for and the way
Speaker 1: he's handled himself and everything else over the years, it's
Speaker 1: been pretty incredible.
Speaker 2: We'll jump into the North Melbourne GWS game now, yeah, know,
Speaker 2: what do you say about this game? Not a hell
Speaker 2: of a lot of action going down Laki with another
Speaker 2: four goals.
Speaker 1: The big suit Nick Marky is a shining moment for
Speaker 1: that team.
Speaker 2: He'd be putting nudge in one hundred if he was
Speaker 2: in one of the top eight teams. North Young Guns,
Speaker 2: you know, showed more signs again just keep ticking boxes.
Speaker 1: Same as Hawthorne. I feel like North Hawthorne showing signs
Speaker 1: of life, showing signs that in hor ver much time
Speaker 1: they're going to be good. It's going to be a
Speaker 1: lot closer than people probably think it's going to be
Speaker 1: great because these teams that are down at the bottom,
Speaker 1: they get to move up over the ladders like we
Speaker 1: were seventeenth I think at one point. Then we go
Speaker 1: up to what four, like I think one of these
Speaker 1: teams is going to be one of those in the
Speaker 1: top eight over the next.
Speaker 2: Two and shout out to Brett Ratton, who's just you know,
Speaker 2: picked it up and ran with it. GWS. Good again.
Speaker 2: I've been on the GWS bandwagon. They've dropped a couple
Speaker 2: of close losses. Toby you know, doing Toby tings out there.
Speaker 1: Big sounds from the west of the town.
Speaker 2: Now let's jump into this big one because this is
Speaker 2: a mammoth game. Carlton Essendon pre King's Birthday game, the
Speaker 2: curtain raiser to the Collingwood Melbourne game. Now wow, we wow,
Speaker 2: this is just you know, it was hot, because not
Speaker 2: hot in terms of pressure. Now, maybe one team brought
Speaker 2: a bit more than the other. Let's do what am I?
Speaker 2: Who am I to say? Now there's a few things
Speaker 2: out of this. Let's pull him apart two meter, Peter,
Speaker 2: your eye poking mate, he's back on the scene. First
Speaker 2: game back, five straight back. Now that's great. We love
Speaker 2: seeing the big fellas do great. Maybe if you're a
Speaker 2: Carlton fan and your big fellows aren't kicking that straight
Speaker 2: and this guy comes back first game kicks five snacks
Speaker 2: straight on you a bit of a kick in the teeth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: love to see Peter Carlton thirty three tackles for the game.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of tackles.
Speaker 1: Ah, it was pretty tough the way Euston was going
Speaker 1: inside fifty. They were just its just seemed like it
Speaker 1: was bankstrol the middle banks. It seemed like it was
Speaker 1: just almost effortless at the times.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say about this game. It
Speaker 2: was pretty crazy. Some of Carlton's, you know, big tough
Speaker 2: midfield players not bringing a lot of that heat. So
Speaker 2: we wait to see what the fallout from this game is,
Speaker 2: but it did have some fallout in the social sphere.
Speaker 2: I've been in the trenches with these guys, the social
Speaker 2: media guys. It's the one of the hardest gigs. That
Speaker 2: and the membership crew because they got a direct phone
Speaker 2: line straight to them on Monday mornings.
Speaker 1: But you actually want to buy tickets and you just
Speaker 1: hear bitching.
Speaker 2: It's so rough. All the staff at these clubs. I
Speaker 2: was one of them getting paid peanuts to just get
Speaker 2: these phone calls and cut all the tweets and all
Speaker 2: the abuse, it's all great, but social media team door
Speaker 2: they just packed her up for the third quarter and
Speaker 2: it's like damage control, How do we fix this. AFL
Speaker 2: also seem to limit their tweet their post final score tweet,
Speaker 2: which is I didn't know what to think about that one,
Speaker 2: because it's, you know, it's the community game. It's that
Speaker 2: it's owned by the people. They should have a place
Speaker 2: to vent.
Speaker 1: But that's what Rudd it's for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely don't condone negative stuff or any threats
Speaker 2: or any negative It was just.
Speaker 1: I think like there was a vision of them walking
Speaker 1: off the ground down the you know, down the race
Speaker 1: and some of the stuff that was being yelled and
Speaker 1: things like that. Like it's you know, as a as
Speaker 1: a player, you put yourself in that situation where things
Speaker 1: are not going well, and I think crips are after
Speaker 1: the game, like moments like these, you really have to
Speaker 1: stick together because you're going to be copping it from
Speaker 1: all angles. And I think after the game, walking down
Speaker 1: the race and people screaming out and yelling, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a really tough time for them
Speaker 1: at the moment to be dealing with and obviously you know,
Speaker 1: there's some goal kickings, there's you know, losses and everything
Speaker 1: else that's going on, and they're are not happy. But
Speaker 1: like you know, there's only you're the only people that
Speaker 1: can change things. You only people I can turn it around,
Speaker 1: or the players on that field whenever they go and
Speaker 1: take it. So yeah, it's just they got to you know,
Speaker 1: bond together hopefully, you know, put a smile on their face,
Speaker 1: start enjoying a bit of football somehow, you know, with
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of criticism, but i'd like to hopefully
Speaker 1: It's is crazy to how I actually feel bad. I
Speaker 1: feel bad for the Carlton fans, sorry fans, and the
Speaker 1: players to be honest, because it's it's not looking like
Speaker 1: a really nice, enjoyable situation for anyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be an idiot, don't be all abusive and
Speaker 2: threatening and direct with it. But I can definitely see
Speaker 2: how the fans are hurting at the moment.
Speaker 1: You can be upset, but I mean, just like, be
Speaker 1: mature about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, one hundred percent. So it's yeah, it's all around
Speaker 2: not great. And unfortunately Carlton have been in this situation
Speaker 2: numerous times over the past few years, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's I feel like there's going to be some fallout
Speaker 2: from this. They got Gold Coast next week at the
Speaker 2: g heading into the bar. I don't know, man, I
Speaker 2: just don't know. I pray for someone I don't even
Speaker 2: know because we like to seeing juwey you in too.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be an interesting game, a lot
Speaker 2: of heat on it for both teams. They both need wins,
Speaker 2: so let's see how that goes. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Thirty three tackles probably going to get those numbers up
Speaker 2: to be fair. Let's jump into the Collingwood Melbourne game.
Speaker 2: Just happened. This is fresh. Is fresh. We're just out
Speaker 2: of the game. Now let's go back. We'll get to
Speaker 2: the end of the game, but let's go back to
Speaker 2: the start of the week because it's a big week
Speaker 2: for the club, big week for both clubs. Freeze m
Speaker 2: and d round King's Birthday clash always a big one.
Speaker 2: Now I want to start with a bit of good
Speaker 2: news story because Charlie Dean saw this on social media
Speaker 2: earlier in the week. Coming back training for the first
Speaker 2: time in a while. Talk us through it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chase is training for the first time in a
Speaker 1: long while, and there was a bit of murmurs and stuff,
Speaker 1: and we're in the team meeting and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, you see one of the physios come and
Speaker 1: grab try the dean and pulls them out out of
Speaker 1: the meeting. I was like, I was a bit weird,
Speaker 1: you know. And then of course, like thirty seconds later,
Speaker 1: flies like, okay, everyone, so we're going to get a banner.
Speaker 1: Charlie's gonna run through the banner for his first training
Speaker 1: session probably back right. So everyone was in on it
Speaker 1: except for Chazz, and we all lined up, you know,
Speaker 1: either side of the banner as you do. And as
Speaker 1: soon as he walked out, you know, everyone class, some mine,
Speaker 1: cheers him on and everything else, and he really just
Speaker 1: runs straight through the banner and he was so hyped.
Speaker 1: It was so good to see. Very frustrating injury kind
Speaker 1: of you know, spell for chas I'm sure, and he's
Speaker 1: handled it with such class. It's absolute credit to him
Speaker 1: and his character. But it was great to see him
Speaker 1: finally be able to you know, other boys get around
Speaker 1: him and him get back into training and feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's being progressive in his rehab.
Speaker 2: That's so good to see you guys are doing a
Speaker 2: lot right on and off the field. Pregame, Neil came out,
Speaker 2: you did the guard of honor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was unique. That was I didn't really know
Speaker 1: that was going to happen until a few days before,
Speaker 1: but it was awesome. Mike, he's such an absolute legend
Speaker 1: of the game and someone who's done so well to
Speaker 1: to put this whole thing together and be the face
Speaker 1: of it, because it's not easy to be in the
Speaker 1: face of it, and it's a credit to him and
Speaker 1: only himself, but also his family and the support they've
Speaker 1: given him throughout the whole thing because beck Is now
Speaker 1: his daughter has taken over the heavy load of a
Speaker 1: lot of the speaking gigs and stuff like that because
Speaker 1: he's not able to do that. So it's pretty incredible
Speaker 1: awesome to have, you know, eighty thousand plus people clapping
Speaker 1: him as he's coming off for you know, the sacrifices
Speaker 1: he's doing and what he's being able to raise for
Speaker 1: M and D whenever he's going through at the same time.
Speaker 1: It was pretty incredible and something I'm sure he really enjoyed.
Speaker 2: And it's we always say it was so selfless for
Speaker 2: a bloke that he could just be He could have
Speaker 2: spent the last nine years just off living his life
Speaker 2: and to you know, give back and think about people
Speaker 2: in the future. It's just amazing what he's been able
Speaker 2: to do. Nine seasons, nine years of this, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Another two point three million dollars raised. They wanted too
Speaker 2: credible by halftime they got two point three. So just
Speaker 2: another amazing year. Let's jump into the game because there
Speaker 2: is some points written down here, Mace, and there's we
Speaker 2: got to get to them. We got We've got fan
Speaker 2: questions coming up to through that out. There got a
Speaker 2: couple of the same question. Now I don't I'll let
Speaker 2: you guess which one that was about. But you did
Speaker 2: play against you the track. You did play against your
Speaker 2: old mate Brady Grundy. So first touch he got booed.
Speaker 2: Were you surprised?
Speaker 1: Not surprised? I also not everyone booner. I know there
Speaker 1: was like half and half I feel like, but I
Speaker 1: think the noise of boopot is louder than a cheer.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's I mean, it's just part of football,
Speaker 1: you know. It's people don't like to see someone else
Speaker 1: go to a different club. And I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people are understanding of the circumstance and what happened
Speaker 1: and the way it was played out, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's just how you know, that's how sport is nowadays.
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's not people can say, oh, it's
Speaker 1: you know, the community stuff here and there wherever it is,
Speaker 1: but look, it's a business. It really is a business,
Speaker 1: and you know the business is trying to do what's
Speaker 1: best for the club where they see the future going,
Speaker 1: and you know decisions were made and that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's part of football. It's part of sports. So I
Speaker 1: think as players, it was kind of unique to go
Speaker 1: up against him. I didn't text him or anything before
Speaker 1: the game. I thought about it. I was I should
Speaker 1: get a little a little chat. Didn't say much. Didn't
Speaker 1: see him before the game. First time I saw him
Speaker 1: was probably in the center bounce and I lined up
Speaker 1: against him and he wouldn't look me in the eye.
Speaker 1: Solves laughing. I think it would do it. But he's
Speaker 1: a hell of a player, great, great guy on and
Speaker 1: off the field, just a good human and it was
Speaker 1: interesting playing against him.
Speaker 2: He had a couple of shots of goal, missed the
Speaker 2: first couple, but he had another one and in the
Speaker 2: super slow motion after he kicks the goal, you can
Speaker 2: see you in the background with a big grin on
Speaker 2: your face, And I was like, is that because he's
Speaker 2: happy for Brody to kick the goal or was there
Speaker 2: another reason behind it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not happy that oppositions kicking a goal, Brandon,
Speaker 1: but it was funny he took the mic I was
Speaker 1: at forur line, just kind of walk back with them,
Speaker 1: talking a bit of trash on the side, you know
Speaker 1: us usual for me, just a bit of bit of
Speaker 1: fine between myself and him, and yeah, he ended up
Speaker 1: kicking the goal, so it was he shut me up
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. But it was good finding like after the game,
Speaker 1: you know, we embraced some stuff and just had a
Speaker 1: bit of a laugh. And yeah, it's unique situation. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, five six years ago, we never really probably
Speaker 1: pictured that happening, But you know, it's kind of funny now.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure whenever we sit back once or both
Speaker 1: of our careers are done, we'll kind of have a
Speaker 1: bit of a laugher. You know, a few times we're
Speaker 1: faced off against each other.
Speaker 2: Now, I got to check the tally board because you
Speaker 2: did kick a hundred earlier, and now I think you
Speaker 2: must be edging towards two hundred because you're kicking a
Speaker 2: goal or two every game. Big old plug a Mason
Speaker 2: Cox up there. Now you kicked another goal and it
Speaker 2: looked like you were you wanted to talk shit, but
Speaker 2: the defensive unit from Melbourne kind of just turned their
Speaker 2: back and went in their huddle and you like walked
Speaker 2: right up to them and went like okay.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 2: What did he say? And then it showed the super
Speaker 2: slow replay and you said nothing.
Speaker 1: I didn't say, well, it wasn't really on them because
Speaker 1: it was a ruckman goal, so I'd pushed down on
Speaker 1: Max and that came back up. So I think they
Speaker 1: were kind of like, oh, well, it's not really my
Speaker 1: issue to be. It's a fair coll. Fair coll. But
Speaker 1: it was funny though. You go and you kick the
Speaker 1: goal and you know, not get in Max's face, but
Speaker 1: like let him know, and then we get to the
Speaker 1: cit about we just kind of luck eyes and bought
Speaker 1: just kind of chicklely smile at each other. I was like,
Speaker 1: you knew I was going to do it right.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, there was There was a few moments
Speaker 2: between you and Gorne one was on the wing where
Speaker 2: there was this massive collision.
Speaker 1: I could almos ship next each other.
Speaker 2: I almost feel it out of my place, the ground shaking.
Speaker 1: But the earthquakeer go after shock, just the two.
Speaker 2: Big slope bloks down on the ground after just colliding
Speaker 2: like big boldest. What was the feeling going into that?
Speaker 2: Did you? Were you thinking, oh, should this is another
Speaker 2: Spleen two point zero coming up here?
Speaker 1: I was. I didn't realize he was there, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I just see I wasn't. I'm looking at the ball
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the plast to my right, and
Speaker 1: I knew there was someone in the vicinity. There's two people.
Speaker 1: I can't remember who was under us, but there's two
Speaker 1: people there, and I think he came from the other
Speaker 1: angle that I came, you know, the other side, and
Speaker 1: it went up to try to chest market and as
Speaker 1: soon as it kind of like hit me, I'll just bang.
Speaker 1: You could just feel this collision kind of like shatter
Speaker 1: and hit the ground. And I'm sitting there looking around
Speaker 1: like what the fuck do you to happen? You see
Speaker 1: looking backs and backs is like oh, and I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: just get up, Uily. The ball has gone past us
Speaker 1: you know where we could get up and move on
Speaker 1: with it. But yeah, no one was injured, luckily, but
Speaker 1: it was it was a decent clash.
Speaker 2: You're on the bench, goggles off, moment you're done for
Speaker 2: the day. I could almost see your packing your bag
Speaker 2: and heading for the car now. And then the umpire
Speaker 2: goes up to Darcy. Cameron's like, mate, you got a
Speaker 2: little bit of cleric coming down. You've got to get off.
Speaker 2: So they call up Madison co mates, come back to
Speaker 2: the ground. We need you back out there. So what
Speaker 2: are you thinking heading into the You got a minute left?
Speaker 2: You're heading back out onto the ground.
Speaker 1: There's about sixty seconds left. Never never have finished the
Speaker 1: game until the siren goes brain, I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: like you keep putting me in that corner of like
Speaker 1: I was just giving up, But no, I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there and you know, you kind of knew that
Speaker 1: chances you come back on the ground because we're playing
Speaker 1: a bit smaller, trying to get the you know, the
Speaker 1: ball going forward and play a bit of a pressure
Speaker 1: game with limited time on the clock and trying to
Speaker 1: get a goal. So was off and Dots was in
Speaker 1: the rock and then they kind of just sit there
Speaker 1: and I see him and they stop and I'm like,
Speaker 1: in the world. But he had had blood rule before,
Speaker 1: so he had already done it once and he comes
Speaker 1: off and I was like, no, all right, I guess
Speaker 1: let's do this again. Let's go to center bounce it.
Speaker 1: So I had to win that one, luckily go forward
Speaker 1: and then got another stoppage and then Nick Dakos kicked
Speaker 1: the goal around the corner and snapped one and it
Speaker 1: was game on.
Speaker 2: The heat was on thirty seconds left. You're thinking, we've
Speaker 2: been here before.
Speaker 1: We just had to get the cinem bounce out and
Speaker 1: unfortunately they got the clearance went back to Q and
Speaker 1: that was kind of probably too much ground to make
Speaker 1: up to get back into the forward line. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's always a chance to leave Simon GOLs like it
Speaker 1: was a thinker kick in it. So yeah, you going
Speaker 1: into that going, okay, we need to we need to
Speaker 1: get something going here to try to get this into
Speaker 1: the forward line to give us a chance, and you
Speaker 1: unfortunately went the other way, which is not ideal. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we just couldn't. We couldn't get the game plan we wanted.
Speaker 1: I feel like throughout the whole day like it was,
Speaker 1: you know, a few miss outs here and there, but
Speaker 1: we just, you know, just maybe a step behind some
Speaker 1: of the some of the parts of the game.
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, talk us through it, like, how did
Speaker 2: you see the game play out? Both teams were stifling
Speaker 2: each other offensively and it was kind of just a
Speaker 2: real grind there for a bit opened up later in
Speaker 2: the game. How did you kind of see it playing out?
Speaker 2: And was it them not letting you get it on
Speaker 2: your terms?
Speaker 1: I think like there was one point it was just
Speaker 1: like stoppage after starpage after starpage, you're sitting there going like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's like, let's get this out of this little bunch
Speaker 1: of people. But if you look at the i mean
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, like I think they had something like eighteen behind,
Speaker 1: so you look at that, and if they kick a
Speaker 1: bit straighter and stuff like that, like we were not
Speaker 1: even in this game. So they just played really well.
Speaker 1: It's credit to on. I'm like, they showed up and
Speaker 1: they gave their bust and played pretty well and pretty efficient.
Speaker 1: And I thought they were pretty clean on the day too,
Speaker 1: which definitely helped them getting through the middle and being
Speaker 1: able to access the back line. So yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: credit Tom more than anything. But yeah, unfortunately we just
Speaker 1: weren't able to get over the top of them.
Speaker 2: Now let's get into it. The question that everyone wants
Speaker 2: to know you postgame p Trucker. Words were shaped, words
Speaker 2: were shared. Did you say that he can't cook for shit?
Speaker 2: Was this like a you thing? Did you start like
Speaker 2: what was said? Everyone wants to know what was said.
Speaker 1: I'll go into it too much because we've had the
Speaker 1: conversation track and night after this, and he apologized and
Speaker 1: shook the hand. He said, apologies, you know here the
Speaker 1: moment we move on. Oh good because these you know,
Speaker 1: words are sad and whatever it is. And Maxican was
Speaker 1: sitting there between us as a captain and Melbourne and
Speaker 1: it was interesting. I didn't really expect words to be
Speaker 1: shared at the end of the game, but they were,
Speaker 1: and as it is, I'm not really offended, to be honest.
Speaker 1: He just was hyped up from the wind as you
Speaker 1: do get. And yeah, we move on.
Speaker 2: Max Gon played Peacekeeper pretty well.
Speaker 1: He was in. But it's like Maximum, myself and Brodie,
Speaker 1: like all the bigs, you know, I've got a bit
Speaker 1: of love for each other. So it's like you respect whenever,
Speaker 1: like they kind of are like, all right, I'll be
Speaker 1: in between this, like you're not gonna sit there and
Speaker 1: go a punch of maxic on or anything like that,
Speaker 1: because he's kind of the mate.
Speaker 2: I do love. My favorite thing is when you get
Speaker 2: the full peacock chest up. But you know that you
Speaker 2: can look down on pretty much ninety nine percent of
Speaker 2: players in the league, So that's always find it prick
Speaker 2: pricks my interest when I see that coming out. Now,
Speaker 2: let's jump into a few fan questions because I put
Speaker 2: it out there. I said, last chance to get the
Speaker 2: big unit before he goes on break. So we got
Speaker 2: from Taylor, why'd you pick number forty six?
Speaker 1: Forty six was given to me. I never picked it.
Speaker 1: So forty six is a reminder of me of where
Speaker 1: I started and where no one gave me an opportunity
Speaker 1: probably to ever make it in this game. So it's
Speaker 1: a reminder every day going into the club to show
Speaker 1: how far you've come.
Speaker 2: So you liked the high number.
Speaker 1: I like the high number.
Speaker 2: He a bit disappointed that Brandon Maynard gave his high
Speaker 2: number away for a number four.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Howse still over there with me. He's been around
Speaker 1: for a while, so he refuses to give it up.
Speaker 2: Respect for the high number jacks over there too. I
Speaker 2: love the high numbers, Travis. This is a great question.
Speaker 2: Wants to know. Were the boys sick because there was
Speaker 2: a lot about it throughout the week and from all
Speaker 2: reports about half the blocks turned up for training because
Speaker 2: the other half were crook.
Speaker 1: No excuses for us losing for us of all credit,
Speaker 1: that's not the question. They played a really good game,
Speaker 1: but there was a bit of sickness going around the club.
Speaker 1: I'd COVID this week, so that was fun.
Speaker 2: That was fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty well, I think a few, Like there's a
Speaker 1: couple other boys. I want to say, they were quite sick,
Speaker 1: and we did have minimal numbers at the first training
Speaker 1: session this week. But like I said, there's no excuses
Speaker 1: from our side. It's it's part of football. Like these
Speaker 1: things happen, and sometimes whenever it gets into a club,
Speaker 1: it just kind of goes rampant because everyone's hanging out
Speaker 1: near each other, everyone's lifting the same weight. It's like
Speaker 1: it just kind of ends up going through the whole place.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a unique I guess lead
Speaker 1: up to the game that makes sense.
Speaker 2: You're got to get on the Vita gummies or something
Speaker 2: down at the club because you've boys have been six
Speaker 2: in round one.
Speaker 1: I don't have a full spleen anymore because of that,
Speaker 1: and that's the one thing that kind of helps you
Speaker 1: get back to normal.
Speaker 2: So every week bloody ah dice sick pendus see everyone's sick.
Speaker 1: We got to.
Speaker 2: Figure off should clean the place? Just clean the whole
Speaker 2: place for the week off meat pies. I think I
Speaker 2: know your answer to this, but Jesse wants to know
Speaker 2: what your thought on.
Speaker 1: Dog shit, So I think the reason is though, and
Speaker 1: this is the same thing with Veggie might right. Someone
Speaker 1: gave me a very bad first experience, so it's forever
Speaker 1: bad in my eyes because my first experience was a
Speaker 1: cold meat piet the footy in Geelong whenever they're playing
Speaker 1: North Melbourne. Very first experience in Australia. It was like cold,
Speaker 1: almost like rock hard in the middle and I tried
Speaker 1: as much tomato sauce as I could on the top
Speaker 1: of it. It couldnt get that feeling and that disgusting
Speaker 1: taste out of my mouth.
Speaker 2: Favorite celebration you've had so far postgame A post goal
Speaker 2: that's by Charlie.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people bring up the cat class.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, but I think the little Peter
Speaker 1: Pan like you know, point after kicking one from fifty
Speaker 1: probably up there for the year. A few others, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. I think that's the one that sticks
Speaker 1: out the most.
Speaker 2: It's a newly bit of goodie. Your favorite AFL team
Speaker 2: theme song outside of the Collingwood theme song that's by Leslie.
Speaker 1: Fun fact about theme songs for clubs, almost ninety percent
Speaker 1: of them American bands wouldn't believe it? What about do
Speaker 1: your research? It's truth.
Speaker 2: Brisbane is the games.
Speaker 1: All the new teams not really but you got obviously
Speaker 1: WUS and in Brisbane all that, but the older older
Speaker 1: teams all American like for like World War Two hymns
Speaker 1: and stuff. Very interesting, well, fun fact for the people
Speaker 1: out there. Yes, I know something about NFL.
Speaker 2: You don't, do you know Richmond's originally.
Speaker 1: Well no, I don't care.
Speaker 2: But row row row right down the river we will go,
Speaker 2: go go.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that song.
Speaker 2: That's a banger.
Speaker 1: It's a banger. Now my favorite Jimmus is kind of funny.
Speaker 1: I find that one just kind of hilarious. But big
Speaker 1: big sound. Yeah, the big big sound from the west
Speaker 1: of the town. But Richmonds, I really like you mentioned.
Speaker 1: I think Richmonds is cool because whenever I hear their
Speaker 1: theme song, what I think of is them running out
Speaker 1: the drums playing the banner. It's kind of a cool
Speaker 1: experience I feel like for them whenever they run out
Speaker 1: to the ground and unique to any other club. And
Speaker 1: I think that's probably one of the reasons I like
Speaker 1: the actual theme song.
Speaker 2: It's all the yellow and black, it's all the Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's cool too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when that started, what's the worst?
Speaker 1: Check it positive person struggles a bit. I mean, whenever
Speaker 1: you name your team the Dockers and come on.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the next one. How do you keep
Speaker 2: your goggles from fugging up? That one's from Kendall, very
Speaker 2: very custom.
Speaker 1: So the goggles have like the lenses have holes drilled
Speaker 1: in them in different areas so that you know, like
Speaker 1: there's a bit of ventilation that comes through a lot
Speaker 1: of R and D research and development with the people
Speaker 1: in call like iceports dot Comdo you check them out?
Speaker 1: They're the ones that do my goggles. Absolute legends they're.
Speaker 2: Doing all right. Now you've given them a few.
Speaker 1: Man, they've made me that many lenses, like, it's such
Speaker 1: a I'm seriously so much credit goes to them, them
Speaker 1: helping me out. But yeah, I've got different kind of
Speaker 1: unique like holes and slits and start to make sure
Speaker 1: that don't fire up.
Speaker 2: What's your biggest fear. I'm going to butcher this name.
Speaker 2: I think it's kneeling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm Fred of Heights, Fred of heights and needles.
Speaker 2: Remember the big chair when you sat on the chair
Speaker 2: and took that that mini hang, were you freaking out?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: A bit light headed?
Speaker 2: It felt like Drake on his album Use Now. This
Speaker 2: one's a nice one. This is the last question. It's
Speaker 2: from It's Bella. What's on for the break heading into
Speaker 2: the bubble.
Speaker 1: I've gone to Bali waiting for your reaction. I'm just
