Speaker 1: Hey, Legends, Welcome back to the Mason Cox Show. We've
Speaker 1: got a big episode ahead of us. Carlton the close
Speaker 1: game finishers, they're absolutely doing that the last two. We
Speaker 1: also have injuries go Lore through the IFL this weekend.
Speaker 1: And lastly, we'll do a bit of a catch up
Speaker 1: around what exactly is happening with Colinwood at the moment.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to dish out in this episode, so
Speaker 1: stay tuned and let's get into it. Okay, let's get
Speaker 1: into it. It's been a big round. A lot of
Speaker 1: the started off with a very close game. But before
Speaker 1: we get into those games, I want to introduce Brendon
Speaker 1: Cox to the pod, the Man, the Myth, the Legend.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Jeez, real quiet weekend from you this weekend, Mace,
Speaker 2: No incidents, no nothing, jeez, we're just recovering.
Speaker 1: But don't even get the jumper punch from Brody. I
Speaker 1: just realized this what am I doing? Jeez?
Speaker 2: He went light on you. I think that was a
Speaker 2: really good battle, but we'll get into that later on.
Speaker 2: I want to start this segment back. I'll put you
Speaker 2: on the back foot because I'm not sure if you've
Speaker 2: got a clanger, But do you have a clanger of
Speaker 2: the week for us.
Speaker 1: I'll let you go first on this one. But this
Speaker 1: is good because you've don't want to just prepar to go.
Speaker 2: I was yelling at the TV all weekend because they
Speaker 2: told us they were gonna, you know, invest heavily into
Speaker 2: the goal line technology, and I don't know what they did.
Speaker 2: In my head, I put a tweet out that I
Speaker 2: think it's just an extra bloke squinting at the screen
Speaker 2: inside the hub going like, I don't know, let's just
Speaker 2: go with whatever he said. But I think the easiest,
Speaker 2: most like logical thing you could at least do, like
Speaker 2: do something but like just put a camera between the
Speaker 2: goalpost and the behind post, Like that's you've already got
Speaker 2: them between the goal posts.
Speaker 1: Might as well just doublin just had another.
Speaker 2: Two cameras either end, because there was so many moments
Speaker 2: from the weekend where they're like, was it marked, was
Speaker 2: it juggled over the line? We don't know what? And
Speaker 2: then it's like, oh, well, let's check between the goal
Speaker 2: of posts. Oh okay, it didn't happen there. But I don't know,
Speaker 2: let's just guess.
Speaker 1: You're complaining here. But they did add a camera this year.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew. Oh God, but this
Speaker 1: thing comes down from the sky. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about how that got in the way this weekend. Actually, yeah, cleaner,
Speaker 1: we got Clinger this one. I was going to say
Speaker 1: it was going to be someone else to go on
Speaker 1: WWE style Undertaker on someone else, but we'll go Channel
Speaker 1: seven's spider cam is what they call it, that floats
Speaker 1: through the ether above the MCG. The fact that over
Speaker 1: the weekend in our game it was in the way
Speaker 1: and got hit by a football and was decisive and
Speaker 1: probably whether or not someone takes a mark, so they
Speaker 1: just played on. It wasn't even like, hey, we should
Speaker 1: probably stop the game. Something you know, out of the
Speaker 1: norm probably happened. Now. They just hit the camera and
Speaker 1: we acted like it didn't go on. We just decided
Speaker 1: to play through it.
Speaker 2: And I think it was the first time I've ever
Speaker 2: seen Horse laugh. After the game and press conference, He's
Speaker 2: just dead serious face the whole way through. And then
Speaker 2: someone said, oh, did you see the ball hit the camera?
Speaker 2: And he lit up. He was like, maybe just move
Speaker 2: the camera higher. Yeah, it was maybe.
Speaker 1: You know that cameras have we could do that that'd be
Speaker 1: pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Well, zoom is another thing. We'll get into that later
Speaker 2: in the episode.
Speaker 1: But a lot of just hints off the top. There's
Speaker 1: a lot to cover, brain, so we'll get straight into
Speaker 1: We've got Carlton versus Richmond, big game, Thursday night footy, Yes,
Speaker 1: Thursday Night footy, the you know the classic opening round
Speaker 1: which is not opening around anymore that we all love,
Speaker 1: very close game, Carlton getting the chocolates, as you say over, Richmond.
Speaker 2: Got an actual banger. It was a banger to open
Speaker 2: up I don't.
Speaker 1: Think a lot of people expected it either. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought Richmond was gonna get rolled.
Speaker 1: But they put up a hell of a fight.
Speaker 2: I tell you what helped because I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: it was going to be a bit of a demolition.
Speaker 2: But Richmond had some handy ins. They got Lynch back in,
Speaker 2: then Curvis, this young guy, Dusty Martin.
Speaker 1: Martin, it was a little rusty Dusty.
Speaker 2: He came out, he had a couple of well you probably.
Speaker 1: What kicked six and Rusty kicked sixty touches.
Speaker 2: But it was good and they really I would even
Speaker 2: say that they were looking better than Carlton at a
Speaker 2: lot of stages in this game. Carlton, you know, did
Speaker 2: what they had to do and got the win. But
Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of Carlton fans were, you know,
Speaker 2: thanking the lucky, lucky stars that they got across the line.
Speaker 2: Plenty happened in this one, and we'll start with the
Speaker 2: sad point because Josh kibb Kiss did his ACL look
Speaker 2: terrible to it, And I tell you it looked terrible
Speaker 2: because we got to see it from a hundred different angles.
Speaker 2: And this is what I'm talking about with the ultra
Speaker 2: zom because no one wants to see an injury. No
Speaker 2: one wants to see it over and over and over.
Speaker 2: But they debuted their ultra zoom, so we get to
Speaker 2: what the ultra zoom is. You get to see it
Speaker 2: in slow motion and then it zooms in even further
Speaker 2: to see the action. And they used it a couple
Speaker 2: of times to you know, lackluster effect. I think it
Speaker 2: was lost and came out and did a double spoil
Speaker 2: and then we zoomed in and just saw that double
Speaker 2: fish just a little bit closer. But yeah, poor Josh
Speaker 2: Gibkiss did his ACL and ultra zoom zoomed right in
Speaker 2: on his knee as we got to see it tear
Speaker 2: apart in slow motion, and it's something that I believe
Speaker 2: we do not need to see.
Speaker 1: That's something we all signed up for and said we're
Speaker 1: going to watch the foot.
Speaker 2: It's quite gross. If you're eating dinner during the foot
Speaker 2: ere that's something that you definitely don't want to see.
Speaker 2: But plenty more happened, plenty more injuries for Richmond. Dion
Speaker 2: Prestia unfortunately did another hamstring.
Speaker 1: Important person for their team, too, very.
Speaker 2: Important and was playing good footy, unfortunately another hamstring. Has
Speaker 2: got a long history of hamstrings, so he'll have some
Speaker 2: time on the sidelines. And Tyler Young concussion, something that
Speaker 2: you never want to see and something that's very serious
Speaker 2: in our game. But there were some moments we're talking
Speaker 2: about goal line technology. Nick lost it. It was heath
Speaker 2: shortest on the game, was right on the line and
Speaker 2: Richmond were standing up after just being bombarded.
Speaker 1: When they had injuries, They had like less people on
Speaker 1: the bench. They were going back and forth. The lead
Speaker 1: was changed that many times in this game, and then
Speaker 1: you get to this goal and this is like a
Speaker 1: real deciding kind of you know, this is going to
Speaker 1: deflat the hell out of Richmond or like it's going
Speaker 1: to be a bit of a thing that galvanizes everyone.
Speaker 2: And it felt like it was just coming because it
Speaker 2: just kept building up that like they just had repeat
Speaker 2: inside fifties and then Charlie Kerner gets it in the
Speaker 2: goal square and it's like, oh, here we go. He's
Speaker 2: going to kick this one tier he plays on but
Speaker 2: Nick Floston is aware to it and chase down tackle
Speaker 2: from behind and we get a goal review, which is,
Speaker 2: you know, antic, but we watch it and it kind
Speaker 2: of looks like it changes direction when it goes past
Speaker 2: his boot. It's falling in one motion and then it
Speaker 2: changes direction as it goes past his book.
Speaker 3: Someone touched it almost like he kicked it, almost like
Speaker 3: it touched his foot.
Speaker 2: I feel like this one it was given in conclusive
Speaker 2: and then we went on with it and so it
Speaker 2: wasn't a goal, which was a massive, awesome result for
Speaker 2: Richmond and Nick Floston. Obviously they didn't win the game,
Speaker 2: but they stayed in the game for that moment. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a weird one for me. And I don't
Speaker 2: even know if it was like one of those ones
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh, it's inconclusive, but it was also
Speaker 2: awesome from Nick Floston. So let's just pretend we didn't
Speaker 2: see the ball move in the end because.
Speaker 1: This is going to make the highlight reel. So we'll
Speaker 1: just make sure that that's not a goal. It's a
Speaker 1: real like it's a goal saving spoil, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like if you watch much footy throughout
Speaker 2: the whole weekend, I don't they seem so gun shy
Speaker 2: the poor goal umpires because they were reviewing everything, if
Speaker 2: there was a gust of wind came through, if there
Speaker 2: was like some shine gun in their eyes, if it
Speaker 2: went near the post, if it was in the same
Speaker 2: postcard as the post. They were reviewing everything. They at
Speaker 2: least had quick turnover. Yeah, they were going, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a goal because it was that obvious when they looked
Speaker 2: at it on the review that they kept it moving.
Speaker 2: But you know, there was there was some good moments.
Speaker 2: There was one where Gorney again it was marked between
Speaker 2: the goalpost and the behind post and Gorney ran off.
Speaker 2: He's like, I didn't market I was over the line.
Speaker 2: He ran all the way down to the wing and
Speaker 2: then they were watching it on the screen and he
Speaker 2: saw it and he's like, nah, I didn't. Market stayed
Speaker 2: on the wing and they were like, Gorney, you gotta
Speaker 2: come and take the kick. So he jogged the whole way.
Speaker 2: So we got some issues that we need to work out.
Speaker 2: But you know who, who knows when that's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: if it's gonna happen in the off season, because it
Speaker 2: didn't happen in the one that we just had. Also,
Speaker 2: nice shining note was Harry two weeks in a row
Speaker 2: kicked semi accurately. Now, I'm not going to say some
Speaker 2: people are pretending like his missus didn't exist because his
Speaker 2: stats say three straight. He kicked three, one out in
Speaker 2: the fall and then one didn't register a score.
Speaker 3: Smart So if you're gonna miss miss me smart man
Speaker 3: three straight as well. People want to talk about your accuracy.
Speaker 3: Do you think that it's clever? It is, it's very
Speaker 3: Also had seven tackles. That's impressive. That's my season record
Speaker 3: right there, like for the whole thing compared, Come on.
Speaker 2: Pretty good. Are we going to jump straight into the
Speaker 2: Collingwood game?
Speaker 1: No, we're going to go to Essen versus All Home.
Speaker 1: We're going to move to a little bit of a
Speaker 1: rival game. Here was pretty good. It was a very
Speaker 1: good game and his first chance for us to seal
Speaker 1: Jack play Old Guinea, first time out on the mcg
Speaker 1: in the new colors, which was quite interesting and obviously
Speaker 1: our first chance to see Esston with all their their
Speaker 1: new kind of buys or trades you want to say
Speaker 1: that they've had over the off season, and it started
Speaker 1: quite hot. We talked about this. I kind of mentioned
Speaker 1: at the very beginning about the w W E kind
Speaker 1: of McGraw in Sicily, and oh it was interesting. He
Speaker 1: got pile driven into the turf. It was. It was
Speaker 1: an interesting start, I want to say, like to just
Speaker 1: go after him and then throw him down and then
Speaker 1: came a little bit of a melee as you'd say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't quite the line in the Sand game
Speaker 2: where Haymakers were going left, right and center.
Speaker 1: I think that's about as close as we'll get nowadays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty tame. But yeah, Cicily did get
Speaker 2: a cool little like like I don't know, it was
Speaker 2: like real leverage judo toss style move on McGrath. But
Speaker 2: it was very interesting. I love having Cicily back. I
Speaker 2: feel like Hawthorne is going to be a very very
Speaker 2: annoying team when they get good because they are packed
Speaker 2: full a lot of chirpers, but we like to see it.
Speaker 2: I love love that watching Sicily play. He just brings
Speaker 2: so much joy and energy to the game. Like even
Speaker 2: if you love dat him, you still love watching him.
Speaker 1: At least he got some emotion towards IF on it.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, Jack Ginnovan boy, oh boy. He started
Speaker 2: on fire. He had fourteen touches, two goals. In the
Speaker 2: first he did the celebration well snap from the pocket,
Speaker 2: which was cool to see. But yeah, he did go
Speaker 2: a bit quiet in the second half, and we had
Speaker 2: cane just popped out of nowhere, like a wild cane appeared,
Speaker 2: and he started saying that. The second half he slowed
Speaker 2: down because Guinea decided to wear a long sleeve. It
Speaker 2: was a hot day, so he reckons you overheated with
Speaker 2: the long sleeve, jumps.
Speaker 1: On corn, just trying to find something. He's stretched needle and.
Speaker 2: It should go. There's surely there's someone more vulnerable he
Speaker 2: could go after.
Speaker 1: But why whenever that gets more headlines.
Speaker 2: Pick a first game player or something.
Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of love between them too.
Speaker 1: He died his hair and everything else. I think I'll
Speaker 1: give it to Kane, right, like he kind of throws
Speaker 1: a bit of shade but also takes it at the
Speaker 1: same time and takes it in stride. So as long
Speaker 1: as Jack's okay, maybe they've had a little conversation, who
Speaker 1: knows about like, you know, I'm cool with us, or
Speaker 1: maybe Kane just doing his ow. He doesn't give a
Speaker 1: ship but yeah, I kind of like, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit of a little answer back and forth, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little back and forth. As long as the
Speaker 2: time that's if it's a real hot day, wear long sleeping.
Speaker 3: You imagine me in a long sleeve. You know how
Speaker 3: much material that is? Oh my gosh, it looks real weird.
Speaker 3: Do you sun screen up if it's hard day?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Always slips offside.
Speaker 2: There's an Actually there was an amazing commentary call. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's mad Hill because everyone was getting
Speaker 2: around Mad Hill being the rash commentator on the block.
Speaker 2: But it was the Melbourne game and Petrarca had full
Speaker 2: white face inc just all zinked up, and he said,
Speaker 2: it looks like Petrarca's hardest enemy today is the sun.
Speaker 3: Wow, I thought that was a cracker.
Speaker 1: Whoever they're playing bring some color some of the stuff.
Speaker 1: Having stringer four goals.
Speaker 2: Four goals started started hot this season. We like to
Speaker 2: see that from Jake now. We just like to see
Speaker 2: if he can bring that every week.
Speaker 1: We always talk about him in consistency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about consistency. Perfect segue, Mace because Mason Redmond,
Speaker 2: now he's playing against Hawthorne. Didn't see if he ripped
Speaker 2: Paul Guineas head off for the third time in a row.
Speaker 2: They're not big friends. But he did get a week, yes,
Speaker 2: for a punch that had hit the chest and slid
Speaker 2: up and copped him in the face, and he gave
Speaker 2: a week, but one week earlier.
Speaker 1: George hewittt, it feels like a very unique scenario that's
Speaker 1: already happened before.
Speaker 2: Didn't get week for a punch that slid up off
Speaker 2: the shoulder. I said last week on the podcast that
Speaker 2: you know, no one will get done for this for
Speaker 2: the rest of the year, because you've got a case
Speaker 2: in point. You take that, you say, look at this
Speaker 2: video he got off. I get off. You know, dust
Speaker 2: your hands. Colt Lawyer would be laughing. They don't even
Speaker 2: normally they get murderers off. They're walking there with this
Speaker 2: evidence they get him off, no worries whether they've accepted
Speaker 2: the week. And it's because between when I went on
Speaker 2: my rant and this week, the difference is off ball
Speaker 2: and on ball. See, if you want a king hit
Speaker 2: someone in the face, Mace little Tip Broton, you just
Speaker 2: do it at a stoppage, at a stoppage fair game,
Speaker 2: away from the stoppage, away from the ball. That's a week.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just think it's a soft rule if
Speaker 2: you're going to bring it in an attempt a punch
Speaker 2: that slides up and hits a person in the face.
Speaker 2: The differences in both incidents. Hewetts looked like a clenched
Speaker 2: fist punch that hit the shoulder and then hit him
Speaker 2: in the face, like a punch to theil wouldn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then this one looked like he's going to push
Speaker 2: him in the chest and his hands glance up and
Speaker 2: he hits him in the face. It looked less of
Speaker 2: a punch, but he got a week. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's it still doesn't sit right with me.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting one. I think it will end up happening. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What will end up happening is they'll ban being able
Speaker 1: to jump to punch. People will band like off ball
Speaker 1: hitting someone and stuff like that, Like you can block
Speaker 1: probably someone's run or like impede them in that sense.
Speaker 1: But I don't think like going in like what we
Speaker 1: talked about using your kind of like wrist to hit
Speaker 1: someone in the chest. Yeah, I think two three years
Speaker 1: they'll be you know, a week or something like that,
Speaker 1: and like it. I mean you I think like fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, you could turn around essentially clock someone
Speaker 1: in the face like closed face, no one carriage. It's
Speaker 1: like it's wild to see how much it's changed over
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of decades to get him to
Speaker 1: the point now where I don't think they'll be well,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot less contact. Let's just say they're
Speaker 1: going to mitigate that where they can to try to
Speaker 1: you know, I guess have less head high contact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you can't escape ultra zoom. If
Speaker 2: they get you with the oltra zoom, you're done. GWS
Speaker 2: North Melbourne Blockbuster up there, one hundred and twenty one
Speaker 2: to eighty two. North Melbourne. It's not that reflective of
Speaker 2: like North's effort. They were there for the whole game. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: Josh Goder young player for North Melbourne did.
Speaker 1: His achilles and it's a long time out.
Speaker 2: Oh it looked terrible too. It was one of those
Speaker 2: ones he went to push off and just crumbled and
Speaker 2: oh yeah.
Speaker 1: It's they say your tear. It's like all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you just like you think like something like you
Speaker 1: just can't put any like wait on it. He just
Speaker 1: kind of confused. It's not like instant pain, but it's
Speaker 1: just like a real weird feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, you feel for him. So prayers up
Speaker 2: to Josh Goder. Hopefully the recovery is smooth. Jesse Hogan
Speaker 2: kicks six.
Speaker 1: Is he gonna win the Coleman this year? He's I
Speaker 1: mean he's on a fair pace at the moment.
Speaker 2: He's pushing it, isn't he.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just maybe he doesn't get the love he deserves.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of like there's a lot of big
Speaker 2: keys kicking it, like good goals the year, like good packs.
Speaker 2: We got Tom Green thirty seven and a goal. He's
Speaker 2: just he just accumulates that he's good and so big souve. Yeah,
Speaker 2: played on. Sam Taylor still managed to kick three goals.
Speaker 2: If you can kick three on Sam Taylor, that's like ten.
Speaker 2: So Sam Taylor still managed to have a really good game. Obviously,
Speaker 2: they're both good players. North Melbourne plenty to be excited about.
Speaker 2: I reckon they've got that many young talented players on
Speaker 2: their list and you just pair that with Clarko and
Speaker 2: it'll it has to click.
Speaker 1: At some point. Well, yeah, I think scoring eighty two
Speaker 1: points away from home at Jobs's home ground, that's good signs.
Speaker 1: That's good signs for their offense. I think that they
Speaker 1: can actually produce, right you got you said like he's
Speaker 1: kicking three. I think like that. Once they get that
Speaker 1: ball movement kind of sorted where they've kind of somewhat
Speaker 1: perfected the way they want to put that game plan in,
Speaker 1: They're going to be a threat, for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. I like the those bottom
Speaker 2: teams coming up. We'll get to West Coast game later
Speaker 2: because they did not come up. But Geelong versus Saint
Speaker 2: Kilda close game. Now, this to be a close game.
Speaker 2: I actually tipped Saints to win, and I thought they
Speaker 2: were going to. Oh they were looking so good for
Speaker 2: so long, but it just went against him. Interesting Lielu
Speaker 2: the clanger, Yeah, Lionel Messi aka.
Speaker 1: Grind Meyer's Lionel.
Speaker 2: Lionel. It was a boot thrower.
Speaker 1: Did you see it? But it was?
Speaker 2: It was very interesting. Who was the Saints ruck Marshall
Speaker 2: rowand Marshall his boot fell off at the stoppage before
Speaker 2: hims happened, and he came running over like like a
Speaker 2: kid to a teacher, hold his boot up, go miss
Speaker 2: miss can I put my boot back on? And he said, no, no,
Speaker 2: you can't just go to the rock contest because we're
Speaker 2: going to ball it in still wasting time. So roand
Speaker 2: Marshall throws the boot on the ground and this is
Speaker 2: where it gets common sense, which is like a weird
Speaker 2: thing that we don't. It blew my mind watching the
Speaker 2: whole incident because grind Meyer sees that the boot is
Speaker 2: in the stoppage area, picks it up and just throws
Speaker 2: it as far as he can. Normally we see this
Speaker 2: as like a free kick. It's like misconduct, it's like
Speaker 2: throwing your goggles. Yeah, but there was fine. No, no,
Speaker 2: I can't imagine because it wasn't a free kick. In
Speaker 2: the end, so he throws the boot away and the
Speaker 2: umpire says, look, now you know what go get the boot.
Speaker 1: You made grandmas go get the boot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he's like, oh that makes me so happy.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'll let rowand Marshall now put on the boot.
Speaker 2: Now we're wasting everyone's so like Roland Marshall gets the body,
Speaker 2: his boot back on. No free kick is paid. So
Speaker 2: that's you know, he went right down the middle and
Speaker 2: we've just got some common sense and we got the
Speaker 2: got the rock contest.
Speaker 1: Geez orlder took some extra time to put that shoe on.
Speaker 1: Just a little breather, you know, maybe get the water
Speaker 1: person to come over, the little sprits of water, get
Speaker 1: the towel, rubbing everything else, you know, really drag it out.
Speaker 1: I mean you might as well. And that's certain circumstance.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I can see both sides. But
Speaker 1: if there's a shoe in the contest and I slipped on,
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too stoked, especially a big shoe by a
Speaker 1: big rockman, right those things are massive, so big horse
Speaker 1: big shoes. But yeah, same time, you know you got
Speaker 1: to throw that. There's a bit of respect. Can have
Speaker 1: a bit of respect around it?
Speaker 2: Can I ask you something about the like about the
Speaker 2: rules which I have no idea.
Speaker 1: If you want to ask an American that doesn't, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: Because they you're the first porter call for this, so
Speaker 2: you know when they come over to you and say, hey, Mason, yeah,
Speaker 2: six six six mate, we're gonna we're doing the six
Speaker 2: six six. You got a warning.
Speaker 1: Oh the warning thing. That's not awkward because the recommend
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what would happen if you know, if you had
Speaker 2: eighteen players or whatever down in defense and they said, hey, mate,
Speaker 2: six six six, how long do you have to get
Speaker 2: in position? After that?
Speaker 1: I think you have time?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can you just ah shit, I went down the
Speaker 2: wrong end. I'm a ford, I'm down the Let me
Speaker 2: get there, and then you slowly walk from one end
Speaker 2: to the other, and you take about two minutes.
Speaker 1: I think because umpires don't where they want to do
Speaker 1: this sooner bounce, right, I reckon they'd be quick to
Speaker 1: pull the trigger for the six six six. Goll go
Speaker 1: six six six, ball up, ball up, Gotta gotta ball
Speaker 1: it up. Gotta don't want to bounce. My back's a
Speaker 1: bit sore, gonna ball up. Everyone called with that.
Speaker 2: Yep, It's just one thing that I thought because normally
Speaker 2: when they called the six six six, it's it's all
Speaker 2: already instantly fixed, and then they just bowled the baller.
Speaker 2: It's wondering how much time you could waste with that.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm letting that given that to
Speaker 2: one team out there that wants to try pull the
Speaker 2: trigger on that one, because I was thinking, if the
Speaker 2: umpire just goes like, you know what, you're taking the
Speaker 2: piss here have a free kick.
Speaker 1: But anyhow, there's some kind of rule they've made, who
Speaker 1: knows you get to exploit it.
Speaker 2: I digress one thing that also annoyed me, and I
Speaker 2: put this in the rundown just you know, I'm appealing
Speaker 2: to someone from the AFL. When you have two games
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night and they both run slightly out
Speaker 2: of sink and you're sitting on the couch having a
Speaker 2: couple of cold ones, a couple of Bruskies watching a game,
Speaker 2: got a bag of Doritos, and you just set in.
Speaker 2: You got the groove working, and then quarter time break
Speaker 2: and the halftime break perfectly sync up, so there's no footy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: why why just stagger the starts of the games when
Speaker 2: you're going to sync up the brakes, so there's nothing
Speaker 2: going on, so.
Speaker 1: You can get a refillment of your refreshment I should have,
Speaker 1: just so you can head to the you know, head
Speaker 1: to the toilet, break you know, go back to the fridge. Oh,
Speaker 1: crack open another six pack. Braidon you sit down and go, gosh,
Speaker 1: how good is commercial?
Speaker 2: If you organized, you can set up your fridge in
Speaker 2: eyeshot of the TV like I do, so you never
Speaker 2: have to break I gaze with the television.
Speaker 1: I reckon you would do. You would get the dog
Speaker 1: that would actually be able to figure itself out to
Speaker 1: get a beer from the fridge for you.
Speaker 2: It's not that smart. A lot of credit. We'll go
Speaker 2: through a couple of things that happened in this game.
Speaker 2: A couple of young players that we always like to
Speaker 2: shine a little lne On debut Darcy Wilson debut time
Speaker 2: kicked two goals, and I always loved that because they
Speaker 2: cut to the family and the crowd. You would have
Speaker 2: had this a lot. They always cut the filthy fil
Speaker 2: sitting up there with the brothers and yeah, they cut
Speaker 2: to the fam up there and they're all celebrating and
Speaker 2: they get their time on the camera. But he kicked
Speaker 2: the important goal right at the end that almost won
Speaker 2: them the game. That would have been a fairy tale.
Speaker 2: But Oliver Dempsey another one blonde surfer hair. He'd be
Speaker 2: down at the beach down.
Speaker 1: There very much would love Geelong.
Speaker 2: Oliver Dempsey kicked three goals, which is great. He also
Speaker 2: had another couple of opportunities like he was popped up
Speaker 2: all the time. But he also had nine score involvement
Speaker 2: which is equal most for Geelong, equal with Paddy Dangerfield.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know him. A little rag tag,
Speaker 2: a little ragamuffin down there and gold Kirsty. He gets
Speaker 2: a couple of kicks every now and then. And speaking
Speaker 2: speaking up, he got a free kick that was an
Speaker 2: odd one because we know the ones that field free
Speaker 2: kick they bring in the no sliding below the knees
Speaker 2: because dangerous, so you get the free kick. But this one, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was it was Stoker was coming in and he
Speaker 2: had eyes for the ball, slid in and won the
Speaker 2: ball and he was the only one that was ever
Speaker 2: going to win the ball. Danger rocked up a day
Speaker 2: late and just need him right in the spine and
Speaker 2: he got the free kick for below the knees. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it was one of those ones like they literally
Speaker 2: like Stocker was in a bad way. They came out.
Speaker 2: He was down for a long time that they got
Speaker 2: him off the ground. And then it cuts back and
Speaker 2: Danger's got the ball waiting to have a shot of goal.
Speaker 2: And if it wasn't, if it was anywhere but Geelong,
Speaker 2: the crowd would have been. But all the Geelong fans
Speaker 2: clapping him Danger, And why wouldn't you Because he goes back.
Speaker 2: Later in the game, Danger takes this courageous mark kicks
Speaker 2: a goal from outside fifty is only Danger could and
Speaker 2: just gets around him. All the boys come and you
Speaker 2: know he wins the game as as he does. Jeez,
Speaker 2: I just don't lose down there, even when you think
Speaker 2: you got him. And one bloke that goes all right,
Speaker 2: Jazz Cameron that goal he kicked, so he intercepts the ball,
Speaker 2: gets it, handballs it.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to do it myself.
Speaker 2: He snakes the one two back because the one two
Speaker 2: wasn't for him.
Speaker 1: It was it was He knew it was coming back
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: He just comes through, picks the pocket and I was
Speaker 2: going to say it's Buddy esque left foot from the pocket,
Speaker 2: but it's just Jezz is his own man, and he
Speaker 2: just kicks his own goals and he jumps up on
Speaker 2: the fence. Yeah, which is risky. Would you to celebrate
Speaker 2: you kick a goal in the pocket? Miracles happened, and
Speaker 2: you run and you jump up onto the fence, boots
Speaker 2: on the fence and double fist pump celebrate. What's the
Speaker 2: likelihood you don't do an injury?
Speaker 1: What's the likelihood of me kicking that pocket goal? Probably
Speaker 1: a million?
Speaker 2: Whatever?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't think that's what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with me, because you got to think with boots, right,
Speaker 1: the bottoms are plastic, so you're just sliding all over
Speaker 1: that thing. It's not like it's not rubber. I got
Speaker 1: no grip to it. Really, you just got the cleats,
Speaker 1: you know. So danger Hey man, he's not only a
Speaker 1: freak out there. He might be a freak gymnast. We
Speaker 1: don't even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It was wide because the camera
Speaker 2: was right there, just looking right up at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so is it the spider cans in the head
Speaker 1: coming down?
Speaker 2: It's gone get over to your boys, because they're for
Speaker 2: one second there they were on top of the ladder,
Speaker 2: but then they just let Adelaide storm back into the game.
Speaker 2: Now it's one of those ones where you know dimm
Speaker 2: has got to be gun love these por look at this,
Speaker 2: this is easy. Come up here, got this clutch team.
Speaker 2: They're just kicking goals, winning games. But he just keeps
Speaker 2: getting out to a dominant lead. And then they just
Speaker 2: hold on, bang, turn the key off. The ignition's done.
Speaker 2: Back rest, they drop back, have a snooze, and they
Speaker 2: let the other team just storm back into the game.
Speaker 2: And Adelaide, I think they kicked. They had like three
Speaker 2: four or five goals for the entire game. They get
Speaker 2: five goals in the last quarter and they.
Speaker 1: Just sixty to fifty four. It was good. I mean,
Speaker 1: we have to talk about the situation that was the
Speaker 1: weather this This game was played in the pond like
Speaker 1: it was not. It was I think it was tough
Speaker 1: for camera to even get visual of the players because
Speaker 1: it was pissing down that hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like in typical Gold Coast fashion, it was there,
Speaker 2: then it wasn't, then it was there, then it wasn't.
Speaker 2: It was very torrential rain. But yeah, they got out
Speaker 2: to a good early lead. Ben King, you know, you
Speaker 2: can't blame him random He had the night off so
Speaker 2: he was there, but he wasn't. And yeah, it was
Speaker 2: it was a good win from the Gold Coast. But
Speaker 2: he kept cutting the dimmer in the box and he
Speaker 2: was shitting bricks because it just kept getting closer and closer.
Speaker 2: And then there was one thing where they rushed the
Speaker 2: point and to make it the six even. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: when you're get nervous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just sitting there. All those signs that are
Speaker 1: red or stop or finish the game or in there
Speaker 1: start going up on the sideline. Everyone starts freaking out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was one incident. There was an incident
Speaker 2: in most games this weekend, but Malcolm Roses Junior.
Speaker 1: Jeez, he had a zenidines it on like just head
Speaker 1: butt got.
Speaker 2: The mouthguard came out like it was I don't know,
Speaker 2: was it his mouthguard or was it the other guy's mouthguard.
Speaker 1: On the vision it was a bit of someone's. It
Speaker 1: was someone's mouth guard. But he got a one match
Speaker 1: band for headbutting the hell out of the other player
Speaker 1: in Adelaide, And yeah, it was. It was wilde. It
Speaker 1: reminded me of that World Cup game where z Indians
Speaker 1: and just got a red card, got pulled off and
Speaker 1: France lost because of it. It just was interesting. But
Speaker 1: I think sometimes whenever you get in those little scuffles,
Speaker 1: you got both hands on the jumper, right, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: how I go any further? The only other option I
Speaker 1: have is to stick my forehead into him. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I don't know some people, you know, you're getting that
Speaker 1: little give him a kiss, your own little kiss college?
Speaker 2: Was it? That was a yeah, hodge on hodgy. That's good.
Speaker 1: Gosh, that's good by me with that. Yeah. No, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll get one match band, which is pretty understandable for
Speaker 1: headbutting the show out of someone's head, but.
Speaker 2: One match for head But it's pretty good change, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're worried about concussions. I mean, I think, can
Speaker 1: you imagine that concussion your own cell or can cussion
Speaker 1: your own self from headbutting someone?
Speaker 2: Well, you couldn't come back with the lawsuit surely, But yeah,
Speaker 2: that was good. So Dimmers Sons they were up there,
Speaker 2: they flipped with GWS so GWS Gold Coast one and
Speaker 2: two and when they were one and two, I think
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. By the end of the round,
Speaker 2: we don't have the ladder. We're not into that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff around here. And the ladder's stuffed up anyway
Speaker 2: because a round zero. But let's not get back into that.
Speaker 2: Melbourne Western Bulldogs and boy, oh boy, was it the
Speaker 2: Western Bulldogs of old. God, you got to be frustrated
Speaker 2: if you're a Western Bulldogs fan, because started well, it
Speaker 2: was Norton took a mark on Stephen May, who looked
Speaker 2: lost bewiled. It went back bang, put us straight through
Speaker 2: the sticks, came out the other side, hugile Hagen, Specky
Speaker 2: goes back bang. You're like, jeez, Bulldogs, we're on here
Speaker 2: on and it's their keyboards that they want to see shine. Well,
Speaker 2: that was kind of about it for it kind of
Speaker 2: you know, fell off from there. Go on, let me
Speaker 2: riddle like, riddle off some names here, because you can't
Speaker 2: be letting these players get these numbers and expect to win.
Speaker 1: That's so true.
Speaker 2: Gone twenty six touches, thirty five hit outs a decent day,
Speaker 2: May twenty five touches, thirteen marks. So he went as
Speaker 2: a key back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirteen marks, twenty five touches.
Speaker 2: He got done once that first two minutes of the game,
Speaker 2: and then just locked down. He went, no more, kick
Speaker 2: it to me, and that was about it for Nordo
Speaker 2: for the rest of it. I think he had one goal,
Speaker 2: had six touches for the game. So yeah, Jack Billings
Speaker 2: playing for his new club, twenty three touches, a goal
Speaker 2: and fifteen marks plan out on the wing. So he
Speaker 2: was just there by.
Speaker 1: Himself taking the absolute pest, taking the.
Speaker 2: Piss out there talking about no wait, that's Christian Petruca.
Speaker 2: Don't have a segwe patisserii Petruca twenty nine and a
Speaker 2: goal and then Clary just to finish it off with
Speaker 2: a little bit of icing. Thirty five touches and there
Speaker 2: was a nice moment late in the game where he
Speaker 2: could have blazed away, kicked the goal. Did the team
Speaker 2: thing set up? One of his teammates ran off the
Speaker 2: ground to applause from the crowd, and he got a
Speaker 2: hug from Goody. So that's all positive signs, all that
Speaker 2: feel good stuff.
Speaker 1: I saw the vision sitting down with a big smile
Speaker 1: and grinning on his face. I mean, it probably helps it.
Speaker 1: You're probably up by forty at that point, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, getting clapped off by your own fans it's
Speaker 1: going to be a good feeling, a feeling you know,
Speaker 1: like you belong. So yeah, I'm sure he's pretty happy
Speaker 1: with the way he played, and Melbourne's pretty happy with
Speaker 1: the way they dominated on the day. And yeah, they're
Speaker 1: going to be a tough team to beat out there. Man.
Speaker 1: They're one of those teams that on when they're firing
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, especially those players that you just mentioned,
Speaker 1: it's going to be almost impossible to with them.
Speaker 2: And James Harms, it was the it was the Nut
Speaker 2: Cup because that's his nickname, Nut James, so it's the
Speaker 2: Nut Cup. They're all playing for the Nut Cup. But
Speaker 2: you know, unfortunately his team couldn't get to win. His
Speaker 2: old team did. Stephen May, he just had a you know,
Speaker 2: he had a good day, a gripe with him. There
Speaker 2: was one moment where Harms he got it and Stephen
Speaker 2: major shit mixed him and then let him know about it,
Speaker 2: and he's roughing him up and giving it to him.
Speaker 2: And then later on Stephen May wasn't even involved in it,
Speaker 2: but Harms got done holding the ball or whatever. Stephen
Speaker 2: May ran over started shaking him and we got another
Speaker 2: head butt. Two head butts in the one round head
Speaker 2: butted him in the face. And I don't like this
Speaker 2: part when you know, you go in and you're the
Speaker 2: instigator and then you get head butted in the face,
Speaker 2: probably because you deserve it, and then you start.
Speaker 1: Going he had it was me, It was me.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you do what you do. It's
Speaker 2: ruthless out there. But yeah, the nut's going to get
Speaker 2: looked at for that one. We're looking at shining, we're
Speaker 2: looking at silver linings for Western Bulldogs. But we had
Speaker 2: Riley Sanders out there, which is the prize pick for
Speaker 2: the Western Bulldogs, and he looked good up until Bevo
Speaker 2: dragged him off. So that's unfortunate. I would have loved
Speaker 2: to see him play the full game. But you know,
Speaker 2: Bevo has his you know, he has his ways with things.
Speaker 2: We saw hugle Hagen held right back until he got
Speaker 2: a chance to get out there. But at least Riley
Speaker 2: Sanders out there earlier but got subbed out of the game.
Speaker 2: And they still haven't got McCray out there.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one.
Speaker 2: He said. They're still he's not quite right yet, and
Speaker 2: they haven't said respect he's not injured or anything. They've
Speaker 2: said that so he's just he's just plying his trade
Speaker 2: in the two's trying to get a spot back in
Speaker 2: the team. Maybe he might get one after this loss.
Speaker 2: But your boy, my boy, your boy, boy.
Speaker 1: You wonder what you know? I wonder why Melbourne's winning
Speaker 1: by forty five fifty points. I bought pickets back. He's
Speaker 1: out there playing, he's off the suspension. He says, let's
Speaker 1: do this thing. Let's go out there, let's dominate the
Speaker 1: shit out of This was a snap, I want to
Speaker 1: say from the corner mate and I was like, this
Speaker 1: boy is well and truly a star.
Speaker 2: I just like those clinical players that just like get
Speaker 2: the ball, have half a second and just know where
Speaker 2: the goal is.
Speaker 1: You just like you see him with the ball and
Speaker 1: you're like on the edge of your seat, going, I
Speaker 1: have no idea exactly how he's going to do it,
Speaker 1: but I know he's going to be able to kick
Speaker 1: a goal.
Speaker 2: Here. What do you reckon of the bond? Is he okay?
Speaker 2: He's pretty good.
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good player. I would almost say he's
Speaker 1: brown low favorite outside of my old body that plays
Speaker 1: at our team's silky man. And he's like he's a
Speaker 1: big body too, So he's got like just kind of
Speaker 1: different dimensions he can bring to the team. And there's
Speaker 1: one he just picked up his turn goal just casual.
Speaker 1: It just it almost just looks too easy for him
Speaker 1: at times. Yeah, not as a freak athlete.
Speaker 2: He's got it. I want him to win a Brownlow.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's Brownlow.
Speaker 1: He's got the Brownlow body. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a thing. But he's got like the power in his lager.
Speaker 1: And you got like the danger field, you got the kneel,
Speaker 1: you got the Mitchell, you got those that like have
Speaker 1: a strong little body. Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think he's in the penal. He's got the smooth, silk,
Speaker 2: slow motion.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Pendals is busting through packs. I would
Speaker 1: say he's more going around her. But I think like
Speaker 1: he's got that physical bill just to get bulk touches
Speaker 1: and like bulk clearances out of the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll get there, he'll get one. Let's move on
Speaker 2: to Port West Coast. We're going to as we did
Speaker 2: with the preview, We're going to do the review pretty
Speaker 2: quickly because one hundred and twenty to seventy and you well,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a decent margin. A bit surprising that
Speaker 2: it's a bit clos it's because Port kicks sixteen goals,
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 1: Behind, twenty four behind.
Speaker 2: Oh that's shit footy.
Speaker 1: That is a lot. To be honest, that could have
Speaker 1: been a two hundred point game.
Speaker 2: I feel like if I'm sitting down to watch any game,
Speaker 2: you just want to see goals. And if you're sitting there,
Speaker 2: I listed it down. Finlayson, Marshall, Bergman and Boch combined
Speaker 2: for zero goals twelve kick just kick a goal, especially
Speaker 2: the Fords in there. Finlayson and Marshall kick a goal,
Speaker 2: just kick goals. And you talk about players that are
Speaker 2: on their team that are just clutch. We've got Rosie
Speaker 2: twenty seven and two. We've got Butters twenty seven and one.
Speaker 2: We've got Horny Frank twenty and two. We got Soldo going.
Speaker 1: Over there, big fan of him.
Speaker 3: Fourteen fourteen and two, twenty eight hitouts, two hit out.
Speaker 2: So he's had a good game. But it was all
Speaker 2: about Harley Reeves. Rewatch, he had sixteen touches. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 1: First game, eighteen year old dude, what must say? He's
Speaker 1: gonna get forty in this first game.
Speaker 2: The pressure on him cheepers.
Speaker 1: I think getting Mike, you know, entrenched in the actual
Speaker 1: game plan and know that he's your future, and just
Speaker 1: allow him to have a chance to play his way.
Speaker 2: The problem is they compared him to Juddy, and I
Speaker 2: think Juddy started with like twenty five and three goals
Speaker 2: or something in debut, So you know, you've got a
Speaker 2: lot to live up to if you're going to be
Speaker 2: compared to one of the best players of all time
Speaker 2: in your first game. We've got Freeo Brisbane.
Speaker 1: Now upset.
Speaker 2: This was brilliant. Now I'm not saying it's brilliant because
Speaker 2: it happened to Brisbane. Yeah, I'm saying it's brilliant because
Speaker 2: coming into it, me included, didn't know where any of
Speaker 2: Freo's growth was going to come from. Didn't know what
Speaker 2: they did with their list over the offseason that was
Speaker 2: going to really change their direction. In the leader, our
Speaker 2: boy Longie got a contract extension one year. Even that
Speaker 2: people were saying, oh, one year, it's a token contract extension,
Speaker 2: but it's a contract extension. They're trying to take the
Speaker 2: pressure off going in. Well, boy, oh boy, did they deliver.
Speaker 2: It looks shaky early because I think Brisbane kicked the
Speaker 2: first five of the game, four of the game, and
Speaker 2: then Frero just went bang bang bang bang bang, bang
Speaker 2: bang bang and just piled him on. So it was
Speaker 2: a crazy game. And Freo actually do have attacking options.
Speaker 2: They're not this like they focus on their defense. They
Speaker 2: were getting that right. They chucked Nat five back in
Speaker 2: the high diddle a little, and they got Gia Miss
Speaker 2: up front kicking four goals. They got Dick Tracy, he
Speaker 2: kicked three. Jeeper they were on fire. So it's good
Speaker 2: to see. And it was the first game they've hosted
Speaker 2: Round one since twenty nineteen over there, and so plenty
Speaker 2: was happening over there. There was a few unfortunate things,
Speaker 2: so Freo we're looking well on top. And then just
Speaker 2: injuries galore towards the end of the game, which is
Speaker 2: what you do not want to see. One Brennan Cox
Speaker 2: playing up forward. He's playing on Harris Andrews. If you
Speaker 2: don't mind just go up front and just sit on
Speaker 2: Harris Andrews, would you. Well, he ripped his hamstring. Oh
Speaker 2: just looked shock. He's had some tendon issues I believe
Speaker 2: in the past. So prayers up to the Cox gang.
Speaker 2: So fellas fraternity, we got to stick together, all the
Speaker 2: Cox boys. We got Carl Warner, he got knocked out
Speaker 2: in a marketing contest against Link McCarthy, which is, yeah,
Speaker 2: it didn't look good, and he came on Stretcher took
Speaker 2: him off. So we you know, prayers up to Warner.
Speaker 2: Oscar McDonald. Now this is the third of three. They
Speaker 2: say bad things happen in threes, a lot of oscars.
Speaker 2: But he looks like he's blowing his knee out too,
Speaker 2: so jeepers.
Speaker 1: Are getting a bit of a oh jeez, it's.
Speaker 2: A horrific, horrific weekend for injuries and like just real,
Speaker 2: real bad ones. We always like to end on the
Speaker 2: little silver lining. So wrong, Caleb wrong. Forty six touches,
Speaker 2: good number, forty six touches. How many games would it
Speaker 2: take you to give forty six touches?
Speaker 1: Forty six touches for me about three seasons. It's pretty good.
Speaker 2: And then you know hip Wood Joey d three goals each,
Speaker 2: so it's not all doom and gloom for Brisbane. They've
Speaker 2: got they still got the stars out there. No locky kneel,
Speaker 2: so you know that makes a bit of a difference.
Speaker 2: But they had Freddy. Just love Freddy kick the sealer
Speaker 2: on the run from like fifty on the boundary.
Speaker 1: Freddy is the Rochelle of Adelaide. For Freddy is just yeah, Freddy.
Speaker 3: He's just an exciting player. He's just exciting. He's just exciting.
Speaker 1: Backflip. I could just he's just do it every goal
Speaker 1: if he can do a backflip and whatnot exciting, that's insane.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the Collingwood game, because we got to
Speaker 2: look at it at sometime because whatever people were saying
Speaker 2: about the first game, you know, someone had to win it.
Speaker 2: This was not as as good this was. I was
Speaker 2: sitting there watching it on the couchs going, when are
Speaker 2: we going to do something? I say, we as you know.
Speaker 1: The Royal We as if you're on the field, as.
Speaker 2: If I'm out there. Collingwood's sixty nine Sydney one o
Speaker 2: two pretty flattering scoreline because Sydney was just on fire
Speaker 2: to finish the pressure. I've never seen a game where
Speaker 2: like defenders and stuff trying to clear the ball just
Speaker 2: kept kicking it to the opposition players. That happened a lot,
Speaker 2: a lot of switch kicks went straight to Sydney. Joe
Speaker 2: the Goose out the back. Yeah, you know, Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 1: I think they kicked seven to five from turnover.
Speaker 2: The turnover game was horrific, but plenty to do.
Speaker 1: Set down of this guest to be fun for me.
Speaker 2: Tom starting nice, and so let's talk about your rock
Speaker 2: battle with Brody, because out of all the areas where
Speaker 2: you were behind, yeah, the rock and the center clearances
Speaker 2: were somewhere where you excelled. So you and d C
Speaker 2: taking on Brody, I would say that you won that
Speaker 2: battle for the night. And yeah, the clearance has happened.
Speaker 2: It just I don't know where the ball went after
Speaker 2: the clearance because it didn't go in your goals. But
Speaker 2: how was the matchup? How I was seeing Brody again
Speaker 2: for the first time up there in the Red and white.
Speaker 1: It was good. Actually hung out with him in Sydney
Speaker 1: after the gb ICE game, so it was kind of
Speaker 1: interesting to chat to him. And it's always weird playing
Speaker 1: against your good friends, right like in It's just as
Speaker 1: rock because you kind of there's so much you know,
Speaker 1: wrestling and hitting each other and everything else where you
Speaker 1: would never do that like a normal day to day thing,
Speaker 1: Like it's such a one on one battle. So no,
Speaker 1: it's good catch up. And I'm like, you know, he's
Speaker 1: a you know, playing up there in Sydney. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be incredible. We talked about before, incredible
Speaker 1: opportunity for him. You know, you looked at last week,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were looking at that matchup between
Speaker 1: him and Max Gone and was able to execute, And yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have an incredible year. I think so. And
Speaker 1: it is weird playing against your friends. I just I
Speaker 1: still to this day, will never kind of understand it
Speaker 1: really or like, no, I guess what's the appropriate protocol.
Speaker 1: I think there are one point I was sitting there
Speaker 1: and he's up behind the ball. I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: like grabbing his hip, you know, pulling him back here
Speaker 1: and there, just kind of like screwing with him a bit.
Speaker 1: But Brody's a very serious man, right, Like you cross
Speaker 1: that line and every player is myself included, and it's
Speaker 1: just like straight down the line, like friendships are kind
Speaker 1: of out the door. You don't have any small talk.
Speaker 1: It is just business, right, So yeah, but no, it
Speaker 1: was it was an interesting little experience to play against Brody.
Speaker 1: I've trained against him for what seven or eight years
Speaker 1: in training, so you kind of like know what he
Speaker 1: does and like know those little kind of you know,
Speaker 1: tendencies and tendencies, tendencies, tendencies, Yeah, tendencies and stuff around,
Speaker 1: you know, aerial contests and rockwork and him coming across
Speaker 1: the center circle as I question Mark, he's gonna do
Speaker 1: the same thing they did against Gone and how to
Speaker 1: kind of combat that? And yeah, it was it was fun.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I always loved playing against him. He's
Speaker 1: a he's a good fellow and just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's a cool story to tell us to your kids, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah kids, Yeah, you gotta have a partner.
Speaker 2: There was a nice shining light out of it. Finn
Speaker 2: McCrae got his opportunity out there AFL level and he
Speaker 2: was great.
Speaker 1: He's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just got his hand on the podle and
Speaker 2: he was clean. Well, a lot of players struggled with
Speaker 2: their hands and by foot, but he seemed just really
Speaker 2: clean and used the first option, just did the small
Speaker 2: things right. Yeah, So it was awesome to see him
Speaker 2: out there playing, you know, in the senior side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Craig I think mentioned it in the you know,
Speaker 1: the week going into it that he was a good
Speaker 1: opportunity to play and he's been playing you know, above
Speaker 1: the level of VFL, and it's good to be able
Speaker 1: to see those people be able to get that AFL
Speaker 1: opportunity and you know he's trying to make the most
Speaker 1: of it. So it's good to have those players that
Speaker 1: come as be able to inject that energy in especially
Speaker 1: playing that you know scenario of the game where were
Speaker 1: weren't up by a lot, We needed a bit of
Speaker 1: positive energy and someone who is desperate for a role
Speaker 1: within that team, and he came in did well. So
Speaker 1: it's it's great to see him, you know, get that
Speaker 1: opportunity and take advantage of it. It's a lot. It's
Speaker 1: pretty easy to say, it's another thing and got to
Speaker 1: do it in front of thousands of people, right Like
Speaker 1: you can sit there and go to a VFL game
Speaker 1: play really well, but then to move up to that
Speaker 1: next level of AFL, it really is a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1: You know, how quickly the game comes at you, how
Speaker 1: clean everyone is, how fast everything kind of moves, is
Speaker 1: a very different experience and level to playing VFL. So
Speaker 1: it's a credit to him being able to rock up
Speaker 1: and be able to show what he's what he's got.
Speaker 2: And Shooter, Shooter got his first shoot.
Speaker 1: His first goal. Let's go with me, big fan of that.
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Second one a little there's a nice little over the
Speaker 1: over the shoulder.
Speaker 2: He kicked the second one after the sign.
Speaker 1: He did. Yes, good to see you to get a goal.
Speaker 1: I think you always had those moments of someone playing
Speaker 1: their first game or someone kicking their first goal. They
Speaker 1: give energy into the group. And whenever Shooter kicked it,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the whole team around you, and
Speaker 1: that's that's what builds camaraderie, right like, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: builds a team culture, and you know, being excited for
Speaker 1: other people's successes and you know, Shooter being a you know,
Speaker 1: someone who's quite experienced in AFL coming to the team
Speaker 1: and being able to have you know, those firsts again
Speaker 1: at a new club, it's pretty cool. So I'm sure
Speaker 1: you would have wanted to probably kick one against j
Speaker 1: Wus and wanting to get his first goal then, but
Speaker 1: you know, it's awesome to see him get two over
Speaker 1: the weekend.
Speaker 2: So Schultz kicked the second goal after the siren and
Speaker 2: the whole team got around him. Now we are used
Speaker 2: to seeing the fly philosophy in a winning team because
Speaker 2: most of the time you guys have been winning over
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Is that something that's you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's win or loss, that culture that's preached like
Speaker 2: to the team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter. We're talking about going into you know,
Speaker 1: training after a win or loss and having the same
Speaker 1: kind of perspective and attitude and everything else going into
Speaker 1: your you know, getting better every day, you know, mentality
Speaker 1: with it. So I think like even though we lost
Speaker 1: the game and that was kind of decided and you
Speaker 1: kick the goal, like you know, we leave the ground
Speaker 1: as one, and we kind of come onto the ground
Speaker 1: as one, we leave the ground as one, and you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately it wasn't the result we wanted. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean we can't celebrate people being successful at what they're doing, right,
Speaker 1: And I think like kicking goals is one thing you
Speaker 1: look at as you know, how close is how close
Speaker 1: knit is a group, how many players go to that
Speaker 1: person and celebrate with them. There's little things like that
Speaker 1: that really show connection in the team. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: you know, something that can really spark a team. And
Speaker 1: I know we talk about, you know, kicking a goal
Speaker 1: or are spoiling defense and someone picking someone up off
Speaker 1: the ground. Things like that that really kind of give
Speaker 1: that team first mentality that we kind of highly value
Speaker 1: at the club. So if shooter kicks a goal and
Speaker 1: you know, we're up by eighty or we're down by eighty,
Speaker 1: whoever it is, it doesn't matter. We all want to
Speaker 1: get over to them and you know, celebrate with them.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of I guess the behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of that experience after the game.
Speaker 2: As disappointing as a loss is, it's great to see
Speaker 2: that that sticks around, win, lose or draw. Yeah, have
Speaker 2: you had a chance to kind of dissect what's happening? Oh,
Speaker 2: went two to start the season. Everyone's on the you know,
Speaker 2: Collie Wobbles are back where doom and gloom and you
Speaker 2: know you've got the hangover and all that. The memes
Speaker 2: are rolling out left, right and center. Have you had
Speaker 2: a chance to dissect what's going on at the Pies
Speaker 2: at the moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think like over the weekend the turnover game,
Speaker 1: we probably didn't handle the pressure as well as we
Speaker 1: would have liked. The turnovers killed us a lot of
Speaker 1: out the backs. It's going to be tough to be
Speaker 1: able to beat a team whenever they're just getting you know,
Speaker 1: uncontested marks and the gold square and being able to
Speaker 1: get golds. So yeah, I think there's there's little things
Speaker 1: we'll talk about throughout this week of you know, how
Speaker 1: we can tweak the way we're going about it to
Speaker 1: be able to best maximize, you know, our impact in
Speaker 1: the game. But yeah, you look at the opposition too.
Speaker 1: In Sydney and Wis two very good teams that have
Speaker 1: been at the top of the ladder for a long time.
Speaker 1: I mean credit goes to them. The way they played
Speaker 1: over the weekend was you know, was was really really
Speaker 1: well put out. And you know, the last two weeks
Speaker 1: we've had tough opposition we've come up against we've fallen
Speaker 1: short unfortunately. But you know, I think a bit of
Speaker 1: the credit goes to the opposition. Yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: a bit of us needed to get better in certain
Speaker 1: areas at the same.
Speaker 2: Time, Yeah, because I don't you've got too many good
Speaker 2: ball users to be using it the way that you are.
Speaker 2: So you've got to credit your opposition for the pressure
Speaker 2: they're putting on Sydney's frontal pressure on the weekend was sane.
Speaker 2: It was insane to watch. Now. I don't know if
Speaker 2: this had something to do with it, but Chad Warner
Speaker 2: was out there twenty seven touches, three goals, but he
Speaker 2: had the Nike t ends on, the boots that were
Speaker 2: the Nike tens, which.
Speaker 1: Is yeah, I think the triker had him too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't know, he's like shoes a. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It adds like a little more speed. I reckon they
Speaker 2: should pair it with the bum bag and you get
Speaker 2: the run around there with.
Speaker 1: The bum bag on. But you go the speed dealers too,
Speaker 1: speed dealers. I know a guy.
Speaker 2: I know a guy, Isaac Heeney. Freaking hell, he's had a.
Speaker 1: He was saking Marx everywhere.
Speaker 2: Now, this is who I'm talking about. He's he's got
Speaker 2: to be brown though favorite at the moment, if he
Speaker 2: keeps playing the way that he's playing. He had an
Speaker 2: awesome game last week this week followed up twenty nine
Speaker 2: touches too. He's got to be the best out there
Speaker 2: in the winning side. Day cost thirty seven touches in
Speaker 2: a goal. Did He's been had a crack? Yeah, So
Speaker 2: it's good to see now. Yeah, hopefully got a big
Speaker 2: game coming up against Saint Kilda, which we will get
Speaker 2: into the preview, but it's going to be an interesting one.
Speaker 2: Saint Kilda. They're tough as well. You don't have any
Speaker 2: easy games because then you have Brisbane the week after
Speaker 2: and they're coming off to buy. For whatever reason, that
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to line up. But let's not get shitty.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into an amazing you know, coup for the
Speaker 2: AFL because we heard about it every second of every game.
Speaker 2: The broadcast commentators were saying the AFL is going to
Speaker 2: break the all time attendance record for a single round
Speaker 2: of football, which they did four hundred and thirteen thousand,
Speaker 2: four hundred and five.
Speaker 1: Wild that's a lot of people. I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: croach of the fans for showing up. I think people
Speaker 1: always talk about you know, I guess society now are
Speaker 1: going more into the technology, watching at home, you know,
Speaker 1: watching on the couch and all that kind of scene.
Speaker 1: But it really does speak or I guess the atmosphere
Speaker 1: that footy provides, you know, whether it be family atmosphere,
Speaker 1: whether it be drinks of friends, you know, going to
Speaker 1: the pub beforehand, go and watch the game coming home.
Speaker 1: You know, my experience in Melbourne, like there's so it's
Speaker 1: so entrenched in society here, like footy, like footy is
Speaker 1: just absolutely loved. And see so many big, you know,
Speaker 1: audiences over the weekend was pretty cool. And just walking
Speaker 1: around and like you know, we trained in near Richmond
Speaker 1: and near the mcg and just seeing how many people
Speaker 1: and how many cars and the energy around the place.
Speaker 1: It was. It was cool. It's like that feeling of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: footy's properly back. You know, people we are excited. They
Speaker 1: got the scarves and they you know, they're showing their
Speaker 1: colors and everything else. And four hundred and thirteen, four
Speaker 1: hundred and five people for a weekend of footy is
Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. And it wasn't even the first game
Speaker 1: for some of these teams. You know. This is like
Speaker 1: you know a second or you know, second game for
Speaker 1: some of the teams on the on the list, So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was awesome to see that kind of number.
Speaker 1: It's awesome to see fans getting out there and being
Speaker 1: able to experience it live and you know, filling out
Speaker 1: stadiums because as a player, there's nothing better than playing
Speaker 1: in front of a big crowd in front of a
Speaker 1: big stadium. So if we can continue to do that,
Speaker 1: I just want to encourage everyone go to the footy.
Speaker 1: Go to the footy, have as many drinks as you
Speaker 1: would play, maybe don't have as many. Have a responsible
Speaker 1: amount of drinks. I have the football with your mates,
Speaker 1: make some new friends, and yeah, just have a good time.
Speaker 1: That's what's all about.
Speaker 2: Gamble responsibly. One thing I wanted to ain felt really
Speaker 2: wanted to let everyone know. I don't know if they're
Speaker 2: insecure about NRL going to Vegas, but I like that
Speaker 2: it's still warm. It's still warm in the Did you
Speaker 2: cramp over the weekend, because I reckon I saw every
Speaker 2: single player on every single team cramp over the weekend.
Speaker 1: No, I don't clock up too many k's. You're real
Speaker 1: sweaty though, yeah, really, like you know, even last week,
Speaker 1: you know, and this week too. The bag is a
Speaker 1: bit slippery, you know. Get to that point where humidity
Speaker 1: kicks in at night, and yeah, it's it is quite
Speaker 1: hot for this time, I feel like, but it is enjoyable.
Speaker 2: I mean, like like Jake Lever cramped up and he
Speaker 2: did that thing like you do the waddle on your heels.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I saw the Carlton Richmond game. They brought
Speaker 2: up the Telstra tracker to track how many CA's you've
Speaker 2: been running. It was two minutes into the game and
Speaker 2: they had crips on twenty two k's. Jeez, jeesus clocking
Speaker 2: the money.
Speaker 1: It's just full you sain Bolt sprinting.
Speaker 2: You look at those stats and go, should I put
Speaker 2: that graphic up?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really if it was like the
Speaker 1: game Mason comes.
Speaker 2: All the other blogs, Yeah, you must have taken it
Speaker 2: home with.
Speaker 1: Your screenshot and use that for my profile.
Speaker 2: Thought right, let's jump into the preview because we got
Speaker 2: some bangers this weekend. Oh yeah, starting with Saint Kilda Collingwood. Now,
Speaker 2: this is an awesome one. This is the spun for
Speaker 2: Awley game. It's going to be I imagine it's going
Speaker 2: to be a special moment for you out there if
Speaker 2: they do the full blackout, you meet in the middle
Speaker 2: and do the circle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Have you even had a chance to cast your mind
Speaker 2: forward to that game and think about that as a
Speaker 2: moment before the matchup even kicks off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't really thought about the experience behind it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that will all kind of play out throughout the week.
Speaker 1: But it is an incredible thing. I think we all know,
Speaker 1: you know, Spud as a as a human that's you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately passed and you know what we'd now kind of
Speaker 1: attribute to him, and I guess mental health and things
Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's it's pretty amazing what Saint
Speaker 1: Kildod do on the day to be able to kind
Speaker 1: of give that a bit of a showcase. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a cool experience. You know. You talk about
Speaker 1: that that circle with people and hopefully we do it.
Speaker 1: And I kind of think about my football career and
Speaker 1: the big moments and the cool experiences you get to do,
Speaker 1: and this is something I haven't done before. So if
Speaker 1: this kind of plans out that way, it'd be a
Speaker 1: unique perspective to be able to have. That is something
Speaker 1: that I've been able to live and do. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an incredible, you know initiative they do with it.
Speaker 1: Credit to Saint Killer. They do a lot of these initiatives.
Speaker 1: We talked about Maddy Rearwalt Vision. You know, they do that.
Speaker 1: They got the Easter stuff too. They do a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, positive things in the community. So this
Speaker 1: is just one of them, and you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible that you know, Spot's families are still
Speaker 1: involved in it and you know want to be able
Speaker 1: to bring attention to it. So credit to them. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a good game obviously. You know we're
Speaker 1: looking to get our first winner of the season, hopefully
Speaker 1: against Saint Kilda. But they are good. They are good
Speaker 1: competition right like, they haven't got blown out by anyone.
Speaker 1: We talk about the ladder being very even throughout and
Speaker 1: it's going to be. It's not going to be an
Speaker 1: easy day by any means.
Speaker 2: Ever, at the mcg ross has got them playing good foot,
Speaker 2: then they're a good balance of defense and attack, especially
Speaker 2: for a russ Lyon team. We know they're not notorious
Speaker 2: for their attack, but they're a fast team. They moved
Speaker 2: the ball so quick, high pressure sling it end to end.
Speaker 2: So it's it's going to be a good game to watch.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the right Colling would turn up, not this Collie
Speaker 2: wobble crap that we've been additioned up. I want to
Speaker 2: jump into this next game because it's going to be
Speaker 2: a banger and I want to say my tip off
Speaker 2: the top Adelaide Geelong Adelaide win this game in Adelaide.
Speaker 1: I agree with you on this one. I think like
Speaker 1: Geelong had the one over the weekend, Adelaide justin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Adelaide lost, but they did have a big comeback there
Speaker 1: from gold Course and the rain and the wet out
Speaker 1: let at home. I will take them as a w Yeah.
Speaker 2: They're a good team, exciting team.
Speaker 3: Better for the run for Shelley to kick twenty, ranking
Speaker 3: to kick twenty.
Speaker 2: North Melbourne versus Frio.
Speaker 1: Is this an upset?
Speaker 2: I just can't. I don't know what they're going to do.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Freo come over and just play
Speaker 2: that Freo, I don't know they kill him. But I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going upset of the round North Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I'm going fre Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't want to say free up, but I just
Speaker 1: want an excitement of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: When I talked shit about Freo for the whole offseason
Speaker 2: and then they come out and smash you know, the
Speaker 2: team that played in the Grand Final last year. I
Speaker 2: can't just say it, just ignore it. So I chuck
Speaker 2: it in there, Dick Tracy here, he'll kick another five.
Speaker 1: There you go Sue.
Speaker 2: He'll still He'll still kick five.
Speaker 1: He kicks five everywhere.
Speaker 2: Hawthorne v. Melbourne, Now this one, I know what's going
Speaker 2: to happen. Yeah, Melbourne's going to kill him. Yep, that's
Speaker 2: going to happen. Max Gorn, how do you reckon? Max?
Speaker 1: You get over thirty disposals on the day. I think
Speaker 1: his follow up Rock Workers going to be elite. They
Speaker 1: we talked about those names that we talked about earlier
Speaker 1: in the podcast. I think you're you're looking at average
Speaker 1: of twenty five plus for each one of those. So
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not May, maybe May. I don't know, who does.
Speaker 1: I mean he had thirteen marks this week. I mean,
Speaker 1: who knows. But yeah, I've got Melbourne just rolling over
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. The players themselves are in hot form,
Speaker 2: even if Melbourn didn't win the opening Sydney versus Essendon.
Speaker 2: Now this is I don't know. It used to be
Speaker 2: notorious with Buddy Frank Franklin just ripping Essendon apart, but
Speaker 2: he's not there. They got Logan McDonald. Now, they got
Speaker 2: the Omari Party, so they got a new look forward
Speaker 2: line sending new look forward line. These guys have been
Speaker 2: around for a while. They're just it's time for him
Speaker 2: to step up. Dad's gone. Dad's gone, so you got
Speaker 2: to step up. But Sidney Vsenon, I aren't not go
Speaker 2: Sydney up at the SCG.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go Sydney too. I think I think it'd
Speaker 1: be a pretty close game. I don't think it will
Speaker 1: be a blowout. I think a Senem will put up
Speaker 1: a fight. It's gonna be an interesting one, like Estenem
Speaker 1: being able to I guess buffer the pressure of Sydney
Speaker 1: will be the big decider in this one. I think,
Speaker 1: more than anything, if they can do that well and
Speaker 1: kick the ball around and be able to to expose
Speaker 1: them in that sense, which not many people have been
Speaker 1: able to do, that's their one chance of winning this.
Speaker 2: Oh man, they still got Sydney, still got Mells Parker
Speaker 2: Adams to come in. Yeah, oh my god, they're just
Speaker 2: going to get better Bulldogs versus the Suns. Now this
Speaker 2: is in Ballarat. Love that Like why do that to
Speaker 2: the Sun? Why like why be like fly here a
Speaker 2: bus drive out there. It's like, can't you when Melbourne
Speaker 2: teams take a Melbourne team out there? That's that's where
Speaker 2: why make I always hate this because they'll pick like
Speaker 2: it'll be like, oh yeah we've got a Ballarat game.
Speaker 1: Free.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fly forty hours over from Western Australia, get on
Speaker 2: a bus, shuttle out to Ballarat, play out chance comebacks,
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: They make it, they make it. They'll probably sit there
Speaker 1: and go it's going to be sleeping snowing. Rainy and
Speaker 1: Sonny on the same game.
Speaker 2: Saying that GWS did that exact trip last year and
Speaker 2: beat him out there get a real disappointing showing from
Speaker 2: the Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: Who do you go on this one? Suns are Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: We know where I'm going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually going to get on the Suns train.
Speaker 2: Let's go right riding them all the ways for.
Speaker 1: Man, stop off at McDonald's on the way. Just a
Speaker 1: little T shirt there.
Speaker 2: Undefeated top of the ladder run, you know, prayers up
Speaker 2: to the Bulldog supporters Richmond Port Adelaide.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that we're looking at each other like, yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know. People hold out on a boat that
Speaker 2: Richmond is still good. And they did view this week
Speaker 2: an awesome effort like on the weekend Lynch another week
Speaker 2: another you know better for the run he came in
Speaker 2: you know, you look at like Lynch, how he played
Speaker 2: on the weekend, you think he came in severely underdone,
Speaker 2: missed out on most of the preseason. He's been injured
Speaker 2: for years now. It feels like and he just rolled
Speaker 2: in and he played so well, that's a million dollar forward.
Speaker 2: You look at him and you're like, stands up, creates
Speaker 2: a contest, kicks goals, and he was what you want,
Speaker 2: so underdone. So it's like a massive credit to what
Speaker 2: he was able to do.
Speaker 1: So you're saying Richmond winsor.
Speaker 2: Hey, if Port Adelaide kick how they kicked this week,
Speaker 2: they'll lose.
Speaker 1: Statement I want him to lose.
Speaker 2: If I kick twenty four, I want any team that
Speaker 2: kicks twenty four to twenty five points in a game,
Speaker 2: I want him to lose. Because that's boring to watch
Speaker 2: kick goals. There's nothing worse than if your team wins
Speaker 2: but they've kicked ten goals twenty ah to lose, lose, lose, lose. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I've got Port Adelaide running over Richmond in this one.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the next one. West Coast versus the
Speaker 1: Giant's another absolute banger. Yeah yeah, well yeah, well let's
Speaker 1: do this how many does Harley Reid get? Yeah, see
Speaker 1: over red Watch.
Speaker 2: That's going to if you can get over to twenty,
Speaker 2: if you can get up.
Speaker 1: To twenty, yeah, yeah, I love that. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: who's got the buyers. We've got Carlton who needs to
Speaker 1: cool down because they've been red hot as of recently.
Speaker 1: They've been just pulling shit out of there I asked,
Speaker 1: you know, and polling stuff out of the hat. Just
Speaker 1: somehow we're actually getting wins. Yeah. And then Brisbane, who
Speaker 1: needs to heat up because they've had two losses in
Speaker 1: a row. Say a bit of opposition, opposing experiences they
Speaker 1: need to have. Yeah, but those are the two that
Speaker 1: have buys this week for the Round zero experience.
Speaker 2: It's good that they get to buy leading into the
Speaker 2: Collingwood game.
Speaker 1: I love that. Well that is that is the preview
Speaker 1: for this week. Man, We've got a review, and then
Speaker 1: we had the preview and now one of my favorite parts,
Speaker 1: Brandon are closing comments. Yeah. Now I'll go first. I'll
Speaker 1: let you have a bit of a think here.
Speaker 2: Now jump on the top of yours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you did the clanger at the beginning
Speaker 1: and through end of the bus. So here we go again.
Speaker 1: Now I learned something today, and I'm obviously not very
Speaker 1: educated with some of my AFL knowledge. I just want
Speaker 1: to read this. This is a bit of a google
Speaker 1: I did because I did a coaching class today. I'm
Speaker 1: now going to be accredited to be a coach. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine that? Can you imagine me trying to teach
Speaker 1: how to play footy? No, no, it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 1: But anyone out there I was looking for a coach,
Speaker 1: good point. I just want to be a reck coach
Speaker 1: and the tallest coach. Right, it's not asking too much
Speaker 1: part time. Maybe so, I was told by someone that
Speaker 1: the first ever game of AFL, like officially documented was
Speaker 1: back in ages ago. Right. It was like outside the
Speaker 1: MCC and there was like one hundred people and it
Speaker 1: went for three days. And I didn't believe this. I said,
Speaker 1: that's going to be bullshit. There's no way in the
Speaker 1: world that like you have a three day game. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is not what we call cricket. This is futty.
Speaker 1: We do not just sit around all day. And I
Speaker 1: decided to look it up and I'm just going to
Speaker 1: read this for beatim. The first ever recorded game of
Speaker 1: Australian football was begun on the tree dotted park Lands
Speaker 1: outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but teams from Scotch College
Speaker 1: in Melbourn Grammar School POSH on seventh of August eighteen
Speaker 1: fifty eight.
Speaker 2: So a while ago.
Speaker 1: That is a long time. First of all, let's just
Speaker 1: acknowledge that eighteen fifty eight. I'm not doing the math.
Speaker 1: After three playing days, the game ended in a drawl,
Speaker 1: with each team kicking one goal. Each team selected its
Speaker 1: own umpire. Also, yeah, can you imagine just being like,
Speaker 1: I want to select my own umpire to throw this thing,
Speaker 1: and then when you're so shit at it, you only
Speaker 1: kick one goal and it lasted three days? Yeah, what
Speaker 1: were you doing for the rest of it? Were you
Speaker 1: having a tea party in the middle of the ground.
Speaker 1: How far were the goals that three days? It took
Speaker 1: from one side to the other to get there.
Speaker 2: They didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's an organized game. I mean, from what I've
Speaker 1: been told, Scotch College and melmur Grammar prey educated people
Speaker 1: don't should be able to sort that shit out.
Speaker 2: You know what blows my days is way back then
Speaker 2: they still would have been cowboys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like cowboys do you reckon?
Speaker 1: They just shoot each other, you know.
Speaker 2: Not that long ago, like footy was happening like a
Speaker 2: flor well not AFL, but football in some extent was happening.
Speaker 2: Cowboys were shooting people out in the wild West. That's wild,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the oldest sports in the world. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and still no one knows about it outside of this country.
Speaker 2: We protect it with our lives at least.
Speaker 1: In or else figuring it out. What is your closing comments, Brandon?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never really think of one, So this one.
Speaker 2: I literally talked about Grilled last week, but I have
Speaker 2: a beef with them because when I go there, right, No,
Speaker 2: I don't because I said they might like to sponsor
Speaker 2: us at some stage, which would be great. But this
Speaker 2: is just a tip. It's just feedback. When I go
Speaker 2: in there, I'm on the non alcoholic beers. I get
Speaker 2: the burger, I get the chips, and I get a
Speaker 2: non alcoholic beer. But they won't let me take it
Speaker 2: off the premises because it's point zero five zero point
Speaker 2: five percent alcohol in it?
Speaker 1: Point what? So the same as like listing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I said, like the orange juice would have
Speaker 2: just as much fermentation and alcohol in it. And they
Speaker 2: just look at me just like fucking just shut up,
Speaker 2: just up.
Speaker 1: Just carry off. You can't take you come here every week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just I drink it. I scull it
Speaker 2: in store, which makes it really pointless.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and sad.
Speaker 2: It's probably sad. I'm just smashing this. If someone saw me,
Speaker 2: I'm like guzzling this at zero alcohol beer grilled, just
Speaker 2: like he's falling off.
Speaker 1: He's really in the dark.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Well that is everyone. Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you've enjoyed the episode. That was birthday. I did
Speaker 1: have a good birthday. I didn't want to bring that up,
Speaker 1: but it was good. I get to celebrate over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was the day before the Melbourne're sorry, day before
Speaker 1: the Sydney Games, so unfortunately couldn't do much. Just had
Speaker 1: my typical like pregame meal and stuff on the weekend.
Speaker 2: I did you went to Ops?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: Actually, they gave me a little birthday cake. That was
Speaker 1: very kind of thing. Also very awkward though. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: end it on this because I had the cake that
Speaker 1: was delivered to me, but I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: ever had this experience or anyone out there. You have
Speaker 1: the sparkler on the cake, right, Yeah, they put it
Speaker 1: in front of you, and the sparkler is at the
Speaker 1: very tip and it's burning out, right, But you can't
Speaker 1: really blow out a sparkler, and you have to wait
Speaker 1: for it to finish, So you just kind of sit
Speaker 1: there for about forty five seconds with no real context
Speaker 1: of what to do, and you just everyone's staring at
Speaker 1: you and filming you, and then they're kind of saying
Speaker 1: like happy birthday, and the song ends and it's still
Speaker 1: sparkling away, and you're like, what do I blow out?
Speaker 1: What do I do? You just kind of take the
Speaker 1: sparkler off and just put it on the side and
Speaker 1: just dig into the cake. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: very awkward scenario where I didn't know exactly how to
Speaker 1: execute the proper etiquette for blowing out a sparkler.
Speaker 2: There was actually a hilarious event where Peter McKenna, very
Speaker 2: well known famous Collingwood play form a player BT brought
Speaker 2: him out of cake had a sparkler in it. He
Speaker 2: tried to blow out the sparkler, couldn't blow out the sparkler,
Speaker 2: so then he grabbed the sparkler and a burnie's hand,
Speaker 2: so he dropped it and it went onto the tablecloth
Speaker 2: and started smoking.
Speaker 1: BT is like.
Speaker 2: Stomping this thing out, and Peter McKennon is just like
Speaker 2: smiling and like, yeah, happy birthday. I don't know, I reckon.
Speaker 2: Once you start getting a bit older, you can just
Speaker 2: start fucking with you.
Speaker 1: You just don't care anymore to you. That's absolutely gold. Well, everyone,
Speaker 1: we're going to end on that. Thanks so much for listening.
Speaker 1: Check us out on social media and everything else. We'll
Speaker 1: be back next week with another review of the Round
Speaker 1: and also a preview of what's to come for the weekend.
Speaker 1: But that is it from us here at the Mason
Speaker 1: Cox Show. Have an incredible day, an incredible week ahead,
Speaker 1: and hopefully the footy is entertaining over the weekend.
