Speaker 1: Hey, Legends, Welcome back to the Mason Cock Show. Now
Speaker 1: plenty happening in this episode. Upsets all over the IFL
Speaker 1: happening from top to bottom on the ladder. We also
Speaker 1: have some flopping issues we're going to cover, and obviously
Speaker 1: we're going to cover the milestone men that were this week.
Speaker 1: So we've listening. It's gonna be a good episode. Let's
Speaker 1: go all right, everyone, let's get into it without further ado.
Speaker 1: Welcome Bright and Cock.
Speaker 2: Oh get a mace. Now, let's jump straight into the
Speaker 2: clanger of the week, because, as you touched on in
Speaker 2: the intro, flopping all over the joint. I don't know
Speaker 2: what's wrong with your fraternity flopping ridiculous, but they're just
Speaker 2: flip flopping all over the place. And I'm going to
Speaker 2: start with someone that we talk about on the rig
Speaker 2: on this podcast, who is a Jeremy Cameron. So he
Speaker 2: had a bit of a form resurgence. He came back,
Speaker 2: kicked a couple schnaggers. Unfortunately they lost the game, but
Speaker 2: we'll get to that now. The moment in the game
Speaker 2: he charges out grabs the ball, you know he's probably
Speaker 2: not going to get out of that situation. There's two
Speaker 2: tacklers coming in front on so he's in a bit
Speaker 2: of strife. Now it's coming, hits it hard, it's hit low,
Speaker 2: like right on the titties and just flings their head full,
Speaker 2: dive arms out. Down he goes and you get the
Speaker 2: free kick. Yeah, hook line and sinker mate. He threw
Speaker 2: it out. We all know he loves fish and he
Speaker 2: caught the umpire, dragged him in, got done the high.
Speaker 2: Toby Green's just standing off the side.
Speaker 1: Just oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And you can see the big smile on Jess Cameron's
Speaker 2: face because he knows that he got he got the
Speaker 2: big fish.
Speaker 1: I don't mind Max King now in St Kilda versus Hawthorne.
Speaker 1: This is one of the games of the week. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't have wouldn't have believed it at the beginning, but
Speaker 1: turned out to be a blinder. As they say, Max
Speaker 1: King gave a little you know, you get a little
Speaker 1: open hand chest hit and then little don't argue off
Speaker 1: for you know, you got the ball and then the
Speaker 1: guy returned it and he just fell straight to the
Speaker 1: ground and I was like, hold on, hold on, You've
Speaker 1: started this whole debacle. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: never someone returns it to you, you're gonna fall on
Speaker 1: the ground. As a big man. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: As a big man. It's always the big man that
Speaker 1: it looks way west. Oh, it's it's part of the fraternity.
Speaker 1: A big man. You can't flop. That's just something that's
Speaker 1: just you have to be the big strong man that
Speaker 1: just you know, like takes care of the team, you know,
Speaker 1: always day he's like the bradon man, aren't you The
Speaker 1: big Man's gotta get in there, get into a fight,
Speaker 1: really break things up, whatever it might be. And then
Speaker 1: the funny thing is though, because it was already like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get a fifty meters penalty right goes forward into
Speaker 1: the D fifty into storry into hawthorns D fifty and
Speaker 1: then cicily, while like kings running by guys, might as
Speaker 1: well double down here, just give you a little shoulder
Speaker 1: bump on the way through, since you're gonna get it
Speaker 1: about ten meters out anyway.
Speaker 2: I always think of that, Yeah, if if they're going
Speaker 2: all the way to the goal line, might as well, seriously,
Speaker 2: might as well. You got to do it before they
Speaker 2: take the kick, otherwise you give away one of them doubles.
Speaker 2: And it's you know, you're probably not playing the next week.
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you this, what do we
Speaker 2: do about this flopping epidemic? It's everywhere, It's running right
Speaker 2: through the AFL system. We need to pump it up,
Speaker 2: make it worse than it is, but it's everywhere almost
Speaker 2: every game. Now it has been suggested we give away
Speaker 2: a free kick to the flopper.
Speaker 1: Nah, because then it's like, okay, and then you give
Speaker 1: a free kick away from someone that looked like a
Speaker 1: flop to an umpire, It really wasn't. Whenever you go
Speaker 1: look at the camera angle and it's gonna be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's pretty screwed up.
Speaker 2: They've already said it. In theory, you meant to be
Speaker 2: able to panelize these floppers by giving them fines and stuff.
Speaker 2: I think the problem is that they just fell away
Speaker 2: with that, like they stop panelizing floppers, so then it
Speaker 2: crept back in again. Maybe just bring the fine back.
Speaker 2: Like would you be falling over if you knew that
Speaker 2: it was going to cost you like three grand?
Speaker 1: Now? I wouldn't be falling over either way. Bro. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a great look for me. But it's a
Speaker 1: long way down for you. I think the MRO has
Speaker 1: had plenty on their hands this year, so they're probably
Speaker 1: busy with that.
Speaker 2: To be honest, always do this like overreaction, big, Oh
Speaker 2: my god, there's flopping everywhere. Just play the replays a
Speaker 2: million times throughout the week. Do little segments like this
Speaker 2: where you take the piss out of the big men
Speaker 2: for flopping like big old flappy, old floppy sissies. And
Speaker 2: that's punishment enough, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, I don't know. It just turns into the
Speaker 1: news cycle for the week and then it's forgotten about
Speaker 1: next week. So we'll get into the games, Braden. We've
Speaker 1: got plenty to cover here. We've got plenty to cover here.
Speaker 1: And one of the big question marks from the weekend
Speaker 1: Sydney versus Carlton, how is Carlton going to go?
Speaker 2: Well, how is Sydney going to go?
Speaker 1: There's question mark over both of these teams.
Speaker 2: There was a big, big clash against Sydney Carlton and
Speaker 2: not great for Carlton fans. And I don't know how
Speaker 2: they rolled into this one optimistic. They're still optimistic Carlton
Speaker 2: fans out there, and I don't know how they do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know they must just be you know, they
Speaker 2: must just love the pain, the torture, the punishment.
Speaker 1: It's a tough one in Sydney, So away game. Sydney
Speaker 1: obviously plays very well on their home deck. Yeah sorry,
Speaker 1: Carlton had the same set shot issues, the same you
Speaker 1: know mishaps the front of goal that maybe cost them
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: I think it was they had nine set shots from
Speaker 2: their two big key forwards for a goal return. I mean,
Speaker 2: it doesn't make it easy to win, but it's so
Speaker 2: hard to gauge how your team is doing when you're
Speaker 2: getting those looks, you're getting those set shots and they're
Speaker 2: just missing it off. Now, one thing that came out
Speaker 2: that was interesting after the game that you know, externally
Speaker 2: I love to see it and I love to hear it,
Speaker 2: but internally you could see how it could cause fighting
Speaker 2: and internally within their fan base. But Jacob Wiedering after
Speaker 2: the game came out and said, look, we just didn't
Speaker 2: kick our goals. And that's almost like the forwards issue,
Speaker 2: like we did all we could. So he rolled the
Speaker 2: forwards under the bus. But it's true, you're getting them
Speaker 2: the ball, you have a nine set shots, they're kicking
Speaker 2: a goal Macee one goal.
Speaker 1: I think it's rolling them under the bus. I think
Speaker 1: he's just stating the obvious of like this is how
Speaker 1: many goals we kicked, This is how many behinds we kicked, right,
Speaker 1: and it would be frustrating to be a defender and like,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the ball and you do your
Speaker 1: job and then we get to the four line that
Speaker 1: we can't convert, and that's that just happens. You know,
Speaker 1: every team goes through their cycles of not being able
Speaker 1: to kick goals and you know, struggling in front of goal,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's the it's the flaw on the fact.
Speaker 1: It's like it's almost whenever you kind of come, someone
Speaker 1: comes out and gets all those issues, and then you
Speaker 1: start having issues and then it's in your back of
Speaker 1: your mind whenever you're going for a set shot and
Speaker 1: then you miss a few, and then that becomes a
Speaker 1: bigger issue, and then the whole ANFL media is on
Speaker 1: your back now like they are now about their set
Speaker 1: shot issues. And now it's just like I guarantee it's
Speaker 1: going through every single person's mind and if they're going
Speaker 1: to set shot and it's it's rough, but the only
Speaker 1: way to fix it is a kick a few and
Speaker 1: maybe it means you have to get closer to goal.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's something that I think everyone
Speaker 1: goes in these little waves and they go into this,
Speaker 1: you know, these issues and goal kicking, and then a
Speaker 1: few people get some you know, get some scores on
Speaker 1: the board, and then everything turns around you kind of
Speaker 1: forget about it.
Speaker 2: It is very interesting, and I do think you know
Speaker 2: that out of all the professional sports out there, they
Speaker 2: wouldn't really be accepted this level of missing. And that's
Speaker 2: kind of what Jacob Wiering was saying. But probably keep
Speaker 2: it in house. I don't know. Imagine if you came
Speaker 2: out and said, I keep tapping it down the pendles
Speaker 2: into goeye and they're just not getting the bloody clearance,
Speaker 2: Just like, what do you want me to do? Anyway,
Speaker 2: it's not an issue. We have.
Speaker 1: Nick Blakeley, absolutely good Blakie. At the moment the lizard
Speaker 1: is going nuts. Oh it's so good. I love watching
Speaker 1: him play and his little.
Speaker 2: Mullet that just flaps in the window and he's like
Speaker 2: scurrying along the ground.
Speaker 1: Oh good, so good. Another thing though, I want to
Speaker 1: mention also there's a few injuries Crips came off with
Speaker 1: injury George Hewitt concussion. Also one match pan for Carlton's
Speaker 1: Adam Chera, which we all know with Carlton now, the
Speaker 1: one match pan, you might as well just call that
Speaker 1: fine because Carlton's lawyer is going to handle that, but
Speaker 1: it is. It is a little bit worrying with a
Speaker 1: few injuries on the horizon. So yeah, we'll see how
Speaker 1: they go. Because a big, big game next week versus
Speaker 1: Melbourne on a Friday night.
Speaker 2: It's actually ended up being big Friday night games, probably
Speaker 2: not initially what the AFL was thinking in terms of
Speaker 2: why it would be big, but like these teams are
Speaker 2: just under constant pressure and then the big spotlight of
Speaker 2: Friday night footy the Crips coming off one. Oh even
Speaker 2: like I felt sorry for Carleton fans there where it
Speaker 2: was like Sydney just kicked the goal and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is bad for him, and then it just cuts
Speaker 2: to Crips walking from the ground, limping, and I was like,
Speaker 2: what else.
Speaker 1: What else do you want to just kill my vibe with?
Speaker 2: And you know when a coach is under pressure and
Speaker 2: they keep cutting to the coach's box and it's slowly
Speaker 2: zooming in on him. It's like I can feel the
Speaker 2: camera like go away, Well, we're going.
Speaker 1: To the next one of the games of the round,
Speaker 1: Saint Kildo versus Hawthorn. Wouldn't believe it. Hawks come out
Speaker 1: in the win. I don't think many people would have
Speaker 1: thought that was going to happen.
Speaker 2: No one would have thought it was one of the
Speaker 2: games of the round St Kilda Hawthorn. But Hawthorne is
Speaker 2: showing really good signs like on your and a row
Speaker 2: on the trot and showing good signs quickly. Like I
Speaker 2: feel like, if you're a Hawks fan, you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we probably deserve some time like down the bottom because
Speaker 2: we were up the top for so long. You can
Speaker 2: only last so long. But they're already seeing really good
Speaker 2: signs out of Hawthorne. A lot of good kids coming through.
Speaker 2: Sam Mitchell doing some really good coaching moves against it,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite coaches out there against a very
Speaker 2: experienced coach in Russ Lyne. So yeah, really good signs
Speaker 2: from them.
Speaker 1: Cicily, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: A game?
Speaker 2: Just couldn't do anything wrong on the day and he's
Speaker 2: one of those guys that he brings plenty. Obviously the
Speaker 2: interview where he's slammed Tasmania earlier in the year, he
Speaker 2: gives plenty to the game. He gives like, you know,
Speaker 2: a bit of flavor and flavor and what a game.
Speaker 2: But he added a little bit of sicily flavor because
Speaker 2: he's he spent it for a week, so you know
Speaker 2: he does he play that well if he's not, you know,
Speaker 2: treading that fine line, you know, treading that fine line.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he just clipped the go high and it
Speaker 1: was a silly mistake, but he did have an absolute
Speaker 1: blinder of a game. And yeah, like I said, ever
Speaker 1: since Tasmania said they're going to come into the league,
Speaker 1: Hawthorne said, get stuffed.
Speaker 2: Showing up feeling the pressure to perform. Do you reckon Hawks?
Speaker 2: Get it done against Port next week? Huge game that
Speaker 2: might Okay, they beat Port next week. I'm telling you
Speaker 2: Hawthorn flag favorites. Imagine the later.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Lake run could make eleven in a
Speaker 1: row like last year. Never never count them out.
Speaker 2: You never know some of these teams they fall over
Speaker 2: with the pressure coming into finals. They might just Steven
Speaker 2: bradbreathe right past the got Australian reference there. Let's jump
Speaker 2: into the next one. Oh, this is This was a
Speaker 2: great game and for a few reasons, but Melbourne Freemantle
Speaker 2: at the G last year. I actually went to this
Speaker 2: game and Freo got the job done against Melbourne and
Speaker 2: they got the job done again. A bit of deja
Speaker 2: vu almost Melbourne in the same situation they were last
Speaker 2: year as well, because there was a bit of question
Speaker 2: masks going into the buy about Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Oliver's injured at the moment, big out for them,
Speaker 1: massive whether they'd be able to perform without one of
Speaker 1: the big, big names. And it was also a big
Speaker 1: game for Luke Jackson. Oh he'd come back, you know,
Speaker 1: the big game against their old club, you know the
Speaker 1: MCG their home ground. Jackson said, get stuffed. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: played a hell of a game played in there. Sean
Speaker 1: Darcy unfortunately injury with the hamstring. Drake Jackson had to
Speaker 1: come in and be able to to play first Rock.
Speaker 1: He did really well. Had a snap. He had a snap,
Speaker 1: oh man, and that would have felt good. He had
Speaker 1: to snap for a goal in the third quarter and
Speaker 1: he was hyped to say, least as you would be
Speaker 1: against your old old club. And I said Sean Darcy
Speaker 1: massive out for them going forward though their number one
Speaker 1: rock and one of the best ruckmen in the league
Speaker 1: at the moment.
Speaker 2: It was interesting because Jackson went forward while Darcy was
Speaker 2: in the Rock and it started to, you know, make
Speaker 2: him look stable up for and then he went into
Speaker 2: the Rock and dominated in the Rock. He can just
Speaker 2: play everywhere. Stephen May said on a podcast leading into
Speaker 2: it that he wouldn't even like Luke Jackson, wouldn't even
Speaker 2: realize it up against your old side is a big deal.
Speaker 2: Like he's that laid back, he's like boy. He was
Speaker 2: saying that he went to like the team's oppo meeting.
Speaker 1: He went to the now, he went to the team's
Speaker 1: like wrap up meeting for like conditioning for the next year,
Speaker 1: even though he had said he's not going back to
Speaker 1: the club. He's like, well, I just have to see
Speaker 1: out my duties here, so I'm here.
Speaker 2: That's so bizarre, but it's so cool and I'm glad
Speaker 2: that we're calling out these ones early. We've been on
Speaker 2: Luke Jackson for weeks now and he's come good, and
Speaker 2: we've been on GWS for weeks now. But we'll get
Speaker 2: to them. But your boy pick it what an absolute goal,
Speaker 2: he'd absolute. It was like two efforts he did, like
Speaker 2: the tackle then the tap on in the pocket and
Speaker 2: he dribbles it end over and instead of the little
Speaker 2: grubber along the ground and it pops up and bounces
Speaker 2: through the goal over the defender. Did you see this?
Speaker 1: Yes? I did. It remind me of Hawthorn Sydney Grand Final.
Speaker 1: I think Cecily maybe maybe like for a while to
Speaker 1: check division go back to the var on that one,
Speaker 1: but I think it was someone that were bounces. Then
Speaker 1: as soon as it gets to the person who's like
Speaker 1: on the line that would have just like you know,
Speaker 1: touched it through. It just hits this huge bomp. It
Speaker 1: goes flying over the head and go straight through the sticks.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was a hell of a goal by Picket.
Speaker 1: Maybe gold the year. There's so many goals of the year,
Speaker 1: just picket every single week. You might as well just
Speaker 1: say chance for goali year.
Speaker 2: And it's no bias from you at all, not at all.
Speaker 2: And this one was also very interesting because our mate
Speaker 2: Nathan Buckley went up and hung out with our other
Speaker 2: mate Longy long Ee up in the box there. So
Speaker 2: is this weird to see someone from the media, just
Speaker 2: chilling up in the box getting a bit of tips.
Speaker 1: It's always interesting because there's always going to be the
Speaker 1: question or that Nathan Buckley wants to come back into coaching.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been in the media for a long
Speaker 1: time and him being in the box definitely started the pot.
Speaker 1: But he did put those rumors to rest. He had
Speaker 1: mentioned it on I think Broadcastody said no, don't look
Speaker 1: into it. Just interested from a media side to be
Speaker 1: able to go into the games pre post to see
Speaker 1: their meetings and see kind of how the coach's box runs,
Speaker 1: which is you know, due diligence by Bucks and I
Speaker 1: respect that. I think it's very interesting for him to
Speaker 1: want to see kind of how each team's run and
Speaker 1: how they go about it. So credit to him, but
Speaker 1: he put the rumors to rest. Look, it'll always be
Speaker 1: out there, It'll always be a story, well or not,
Speaker 1: Bucks will come back as a coach, will always be
Speaker 1: a store that's in the media.
Speaker 2: The rumors will never be will never stop. But Melbourne v.
Speaker 2: Carlton next week, as we said, it's gonna be so
Speaker 2: big and yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: honestly don't know. I love these Friday night classes.
Speaker 1: There's besides the game against US, there's another game that
Speaker 1: Carlton can turn their fans around in versus Melbourne next week.
Speaker 1: I think on a Friday night a big thriller. You
Speaker 1: can't be confident, but I think, well it is fix
Speaker 1: if they kick a few goals to start off the
Speaker 1: game strong, right, they get a bit of confidence. There's
Speaker 1: no telling what happens in that game.
Speaker 2: Interesting, very interesting. Maybe. I remember last year or the
Speaker 2: year before, offered to go down and do some goal
Speaker 2: kicking for Carden and they said, you know what.
Speaker 1: FA would have done. Here are going, all right, let's
Speaker 1: figure this out. Boys. We're sitting down, We're having a
Speaker 1: six pack of beers. We're gonna hang out. We're gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy life for a little bigger and forget all the
Speaker 1: ship that's in the media for the next hour that
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with you, We're gonna enjoy a bit
Speaker 1: of life. And who knows, maybe that's what they need.
Speaker 2: Hey, it can't hurt at this point. There's literally nothing
Speaker 2: you could do to make it any worse. Now, let's
Speaker 2: jump into Geelong GWS. I was so happy. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say it. I was happy, not because I go for
Speaker 2: either team, but I've been calling out GWS, is this
Speaker 2: they're doing better than the results early were saying, And
Speaker 2: now the results are come trained for a long time,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, and they bloody showed it again.
Speaker 1: GWS.
Speaker 2: They've got a three game winning streak.
Speaker 1: Over Geelong at Get on the train. Now.
Speaker 2: Do you know Collingwood's winning streak down at Coadinya Park.
Speaker 1: Nope, you know we don't play there. Too big, too big,
Speaker 1: too strong.
Speaker 2: Well talking about too big, too strong, Toby Green two
Speaker 2: hundredth games.
Speaker 1: Yes, we mentioned it last week on the pod. We
Speaker 1: said there was a decent chance they might be able
Speaker 1: to you know, rally against a rally up for the
Speaker 1: good man and get a win for him.
Speaker 2: I think you claimed that he was going to kick twelve.
Speaker 2: Now he kicked four. That's pretty that's that's in a
Speaker 2: world where we over exaggerate everything. Four was twelve, twelve
Speaker 2: and four, same thing, it's bloody the same thing. Well,
Speaker 2: he was on early, he got them all really early
Speaker 2: and then just steadied the ship. It was yeah, they did.
Speaker 2: They've got this win and they didn't like not all
Speaker 2: of their big key like forwards were kicking goals like
Speaker 2: Jesse Hogan didn't kick a goal. A screamer though took
Speaker 2: a scream him As didn't even play. They're just resting
Speaker 2: blokes for this game. Easy win down there.
Speaker 1: Continue for.
Speaker 2: Jerry mccameron, we'll give him a break this week. Back
Speaker 2: on form except for the dive, stop flopping jays. But
Speaker 2: two goals seventeen touches, that's possible.
Speaker 1: I think that's all right, you know. I mean, we
Speaker 1: have high expectations for Jeremy Cameron. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: the Coleman race is right now, but I think it's
Speaker 1: getting a little bit tighter. Jeremy Cameron was running away
Speaker 1: with it being of the year, but now he's pulled
Speaker 1: it back a little bit and there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of competition there.
Speaker 2: There is a little bit of competition and radically went
Speaker 2: up forward. We hadn't seen him up forward because he's
Speaker 2: been a little fortress down back play, but unfortunately got injured.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unfortunately, that's not ideal at all, but they've
Speaker 1: had him. He's been a very interesting player where he's
Speaker 1: put a lot of different positions from ruck to ford
Speaker 1: to best. He's very versatile he's a freak athlete, there's why,
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things I've always wanted to
Speaker 1: see him just really be able to own a spot,
Speaker 1: you know, and be able to really kind of because
Speaker 1: I feel like in that Geelong teams a few spots
Speaker 1: that need like a big, tall forward or a big
Speaker 1: tall back, and he's a person that's got the athletic ability.
Speaker 1: Well he gets I guess the games in a row
Speaker 1: and the experience where he feels comfortable in that position.
Speaker 1: So I hope he does get that. I hope he
Speaker 1: does become that person that Geelong can look to as
Speaker 1: the future of their club. But there's another thing that
Speaker 1: did happen in this game I want to mention, and
Speaker 1: it's Hunting's mask. Yeah, see this thing is real like
Speaker 1: Lebron NBA Finals, like just the Batsman.
Speaker 2: It was a heavy mask. It reminded me of who's
Speaker 2: that Kynty and father Beans that.
Speaker 1: Uh silence of the Lambs.
Speaker 2: It's wheeled in in the little trolley and he's got
Speaker 2: the face mask on. That's very deconing esque. It was
Speaker 2: because you talked about your glasses and a big fan
Speaker 2: of the facial accessories. Al Right, twenty steps you have
Speaker 2: to go to get your glasses. Now, deconing rolls out
Speaker 2: there in a borderline welder's mask. It's a full face mask.
Speaker 2: How are you allowed to wear that?
Speaker 1: It's legitimate though, because if you do, like have a
Speaker 1: break in your face and stuff like that, you have
Speaker 1: to wear the mask to be able to protect you.
Speaker 2: Like so you're saying it's like a like a tool
Speaker 2: of the trade or something.
Speaker 1: It's a medical thing, just like a guard you would have,
Speaker 1: like a shin guard. I feel like goggles, yeah, or
Speaker 1: like goggles. You would think from a medical standpoint, that'd
Speaker 1: be easy to deal with. I'm not getting into it.
Speaker 1: Break get myself in trouble.
Speaker 2: The AFL rolled out and said, hey, look broken face,
Speaker 2: old mush face, no.
Speaker 1: Mask, top ship.
Speaker 2: Well I guess he would have missed the game, wouldn't he.
Speaker 1: That's it. Well, there is some interesting accessories. I want
Speaker 1: to mention this because Jim Steins actually wore a green hat.
Speaker 1: I want to say to a preseason game. I actually
Speaker 1: didn't know this, and he fact, I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: learning things about the a f L. Brighton it feel
Speaker 1: to give you this one filled probably probably AFL for dummies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his book, I'm telling you, and uh now a big
Speaker 1: fan of the face accessories. So dacuning keep wearing it.
Speaker 1: I think you look legit and you look scary as hell.
Speaker 2: So well, and he doesn't want to wear it, doesn't
Speaker 2: he it's just because he's got a mush face.
Speaker 1: No, I think you should keep wearing it. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a fear fear tactic. Bring it in. We'll go
Speaker 1: to the next game, Gold Coast versus the Bulldogs. Awesome game.
Speaker 1: For a great reason. Darwin Northern Territory gets a game
Speaker 1: this year and it was awesome. It was great to
Speaker 1: see the pre match entertainment, really cool. See all the
Speaker 1: all the fans out there up on the hill, a
Speaker 1: lot of Doggies fans, a lot of white and blue
Speaker 1: there up in the NT. And I will say this,
Speaker 1: before the game there was they did the because obviously
Speaker 1: so Doug Nichols around. They did the traditional dance, and
Speaker 1: Jared Holbrough, who used to play Gold Coast, he did
Speaker 1: the digitido. I don't know if many people noticed. That
Speaker 1: didn't as much as attention as I thought it should,
Speaker 1: but he played the didjury do beforehand? Which is really cool.
Speaker 2: I thought both teams have a lot of Indigenous representation
Speaker 2: out there so very much.
Speaker 1: I think we're struggling for tickets for the players on
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, it was great to see. Always
Speaker 2: a great turnout up there, like it's always massive, and
Speaker 2: I always do think like there's plenty of good that
Speaker 2: comes from like playing for Collingwood, but it's the one
Speaker 2: thing you don't really get those games. It would be
Speaker 2: cool to see you guys up there playing in the NT.
Speaker 2: But gold Coast is starting to come good, which is
Speaker 2: really interesting. It shakes a lot of things up. You
Speaker 2: can't really just say, oh, easy win over gold Coast.
Speaker 2: They're out there doing their thing. They're going to be
Speaker 2: dangerous at home. Bulldogs. Good team and gold Coast got
Speaker 2: the job done. Maddie Row continues to dominate. I think
Speaker 2: he had twenty nine in a goal which is nuts.
Speaker 1: Rumor is he ate a lot of grass before that game?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 1: Interesting?
Speaker 2: Not a lot of grass off in the NT. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you're our old mate. Jared Wits dominating in the hitouts.
Speaker 1: And smashed it against him English.
Speaker 2: We got this one. We've been coming up every week
Speaker 2: with a Ford celebration when they when they kick a
Speaker 2: bag of five.
Speaker 1: Now, Licosiaus. What's the.
Speaker 2: Well, I was only thinking liquor. Licosia's Licosiaus. He kicked
Speaker 2: a bag and the surround they got a little good
Speaker 2: you know Ford line up, Well, I say little, but
Speaker 2: it's big.
Speaker 1: It's big, King kas Bolt Lakosis. It's they're starting to
Speaker 1: really start firing all cylinders. And I say gold Coast
Speaker 1: back in the day, it used to be a team
Speaker 1: you look at on the calendar and go, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: probably going to get the win. Now they're a legit contender.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not lying. I think they're they're Finals
Speaker 1: bound this year as well'm.
Speaker 2: I say this is that that win that they needed?
Speaker 2: You know, like they're always thereabouts, They're always like ten
Speaker 2: eleven or whatever. You just want him to get a
Speaker 2: good win, a good scalp over a good opponent. And
Speaker 2: I think Bulldogs is that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's been playing well over the last few weeks
Speaker 1: and they're they're legit contender too. So I think, like
Speaker 1: I said, gold Coast playing while they're finally getting the
Speaker 1: credit they deserve, and their their teams showing up whenever
Speaker 1: it matters.
Speaker 2: I always like these ones that take a bit of
Speaker 2: pressure off the coaches that get a lot.
Speaker 1: Of hate like pressure. Watch since they one coming up there.
Speaker 2: And they keep cutting to him sitting on the bench
Speaker 2: and he's McDonald's uniform with his little hat and ship
Speaker 2: and he's just you know, it's good to see him
Speaker 2: get just a bit of the pressurevlve, just a little
Speaker 2: bit of the pressure elve that comes off. So it's
Speaker 2: always good when that happens. Bulldogs take the l but
Speaker 2: they've banked a few wins. They'll come go there.
Speaker 1: Jersey swap at the end of the game, Levi cast
Speaker 1: Bolt also Jersey swap which indigenous round. Really cool to
Speaker 1: jersey swap. That would have loved to have done that,
Speaker 1: but un for surely my shirt was almost ripped in half.
Speaker 2: That's one thing we got to talk about.
Speaker 1: We'll get into it, Brydon, we'll get into it all right.
Speaker 1: Next time we got West Coast versus Essendon.
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, what did you expect out of this game?
Speaker 1: It was in the West?
Speaker 2: Yeah, over there, Essendon get the job done. Probably what
Speaker 2: you expect one, you know, shining light. They're just a
Speaker 2: beacon out of it. He used to be a shower
Speaker 2: out of the West Coast. Just Oscar Allen kicked another four.
Speaker 2: He just keeps he would be up the top of
Speaker 2: the goal kicking. He's just keeps getting it done every week.
Speaker 1: After Kennedy retired, like this man has filled that position
Speaker 1: pretty well. Really was kicking a bag of game, and
Speaker 1: that was like there their hope and they're kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know Ford looking, you know, prospect going into the
Speaker 1: Ford fifty. And now Oscar Allen he's filling those boots
Speaker 1: pretty well.
Speaker 2: Kennedy is playing in the Carlton Draft series. Easy, I
Speaker 2: reckon he'll keep kick forty Like, how do your stuff him?
Speaker 2: I don't know, fresh out of the game, just a
Speaker 2: couple of months off, just to refresh yourself.
Speaker 1: I also feel like Kenny, one of those people had
Speaker 1: shocking a beer in the middle of the game, like
Speaker 1: you kick a goal in his goal celebration and just
Speaker 1: shot gunning a beer on the sideline.
Speaker 2: The tour would be great. Now we got Tom Barrass
Speaker 2: starting up forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very interesting that we all know West Coast a
Speaker 1: lot of injuries and they've had to flick some magnets around,
Speaker 1: so this was a very interesting one. Tom Brass starting
Speaker 1: in the goal square and we plan this week coming up,
Speaker 1: so I'm interested to see. Like I think it's a
Speaker 1: bit of a crapshoot with some of the stuff, like
Speaker 1: where people are going to play because they have so
Speaker 1: many injuries. It's so unfortunate that they're mid season draft.
Speaker 1: They might just draft twenty people. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's possible, but they have that many injuries on their
Speaker 1: list where it's going to be interesting decisions, no doubt.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Tom Brass played forward. I hadn't really seen
Speaker 1: that in a long time.
Speaker 2: I like, you know, shifting the magnets around it. If
Speaker 2: you can survive the criticism that's inevitably going to come
Speaker 2: from you know, fans and the media and stuff over there,
Speaker 2: it's cool to just say, look, we got a million injuries.
Speaker 2: Let's just experiment for the rest of this year. We
Speaker 2: might find something that works for us going forward. Barrass
Speaker 2: might you know, up and kick a half half bag
Speaker 2: or something and then then you meet half bag, half bag,
Speaker 2: a thing yereck bag seeing.
Speaker 1: The half goals well, Jackal coach, as we talked about
Speaker 1: with Gold Coast, he was playing the back line. I
Speaker 1: was going forward line kicking bag. So you throw people
Speaker 1: around you just never know what's going to happen, and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe a Tombarrass playing forward for a
Speaker 1: few weeks might help.
Speaker 2: M darcymore back line to the Ford line.
Speaker 1: See more. Tom Barrass would love that matchup.
Speaker 2: It would be good.
Speaker 1: It's two guys and Gerviy McGovern too, Like, just don't
Speaker 1: mind floating across you know.
Speaker 2: Now this one was very interesting because we already recorded
Speaker 2: when the bumshell hit so dimmer.
Speaker 1: You know, well, I thought you were talking about the
Speaker 1: earthquake that happened this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was actually awake for that. Were you awake?
Speaker 1: I was my whole apartment just like everyone opened the doors,
Speaker 1: is like, what the was that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, me and my housemates are sitting in the land
Speaker 2: room and everything started to shake. At the same time.
Speaker 2: I got a message on my phone. It was like
Speaker 2: an earthquake alert. It a message on your foot, instantaneous.
Speaker 2: It was like me and my housemates said earthquake alert
Speaker 2: as it was happening, so a bit late. But my
Speaker 2: other house.
Speaker 1: Wild tack to be like earthquake, don tick if text
Speaker 1: messages all of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: And my other house man he did because he didn't
Speaker 2: get one, So that.
Speaker 1: We'll move to the next game Richmond versus Port Adelaide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the actual bombshell, not the earthquake. Dimma kind
Speaker 2: of quit halfway through the week, just said, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm cooked, put my hand up, I'm done.
Speaker 1: Let me have a break.
Speaker 2: Good on him.
Speaker 1: You know, he's had plenty of success for the Richmond
Speaker 1: Tigers and brought like, you know, broke the drought. The
Speaker 1: man deserves to kick his feet up. Absolutely. Congratulations. You
Speaker 1: go down as one of the best coaches in history
Speaker 1: if you can win three flags, best coach in history.
Speaker 1: You know, reinvented the game in the way he picked
Speaker 1: a team I think. I mean you think back to
Speaker 1: those days where he's like ruckman, don't need him, and
Speaker 1: then it was the fast footy in the fast paced
Speaker 1: kind of what we're playing right now. Like that, that
Speaker 1: was Dimmer. He was the original one that kind of
Speaker 1: started out, I feel like, and that was a huge
Speaker 1: wave that changed the AFL world for the future.
Speaker 2: Everyone was, you know, playing Richmond footy there for stage.
Speaker 2: Collinwood's taking it over and putting their own little flavor
Speaker 2: on it. But an awesome pre match post by Dimmer
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch, I reckon it was like ten
Speaker 2: am and he's already cracked a beer, sitting there with
Speaker 2: his dog, just a beam and smile on his face,
Speaker 2: and he said, surely not long left until the game.
Speaker 2: So like it was awesome just to see that picture,
Speaker 2: and you automatically go, like you realize the weight, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that would be lifted off his shoulders as he just
Speaker 2: for the first time in you know, a decade, just
Speaker 2: gets to enjoy a beer and watch the game as
Speaker 2: just a civilian.
Speaker 1: Just like it's it'd be almost just as special two
Speaker 1: because he still have those connections with the team and
Speaker 1: like still feeling connected, you know, as relationships with the
Speaker 1: people playing, but being able to take a step back
Speaker 1: from the stress and the you know the pressure of
Speaker 1: being a coach of the Richmond Football Club.
Speaker 2: Do you reckon? He's still giving sprays from the couch. Surely, mate,
Speaker 2: you're not meant to be there. Run down here, you
Speaker 2: gotta get over there.
Speaker 1: The dog would be like it just turns off. It
Speaker 1: looks at him. He was fuck you, just like leaves.
Speaker 2: Come back to work, mate, get out of my hair.
Speaker 1: But there's some good things out of this game.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Richmond did lose, but Tim Taranto, who's been under a
Speaker 1: scrutiny from old Caine corns in the media. But four goals,
Speaker 1: thirty three disposals in seven tackles fair call to say
Speaker 1: he had a good game.
Speaker 2: Now, if I was to say that a person that
Speaker 2: gets four goals, thirty three disposals and seven tackles isn't
Speaker 2: in the top two hundred.
Speaker 1: And fifty one hundred and fifty, where do you think
Speaker 1: you sit in here? Look? Based on that stat line,
Speaker 1: I think he's going pretty well.
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty phenomenal. And I think another stack came
Speaker 2: out that he's the only player in the AFL that's
Speaker 2: got one hundred Fantasy points in every game this year,
Speaker 2: So it's gone, all right, he's going alright. I don't
Speaker 2: know what Kine has been watching.
Speaker 1: If you're consistent, this is the word you're looking for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, consistent, Yeah, it's consistent.
Speaker 1: Brandon. Well, anyway, Power do win this one. That's their
Speaker 1: eighth in the row. Last time I lost us in
Speaker 1: the MCG and they turned things around. And I think,
Speaker 1: to be honest, and we mentioned this earlier, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to beat them. If they
Speaker 1: get a home final in the finals to beat them
Speaker 1: in Adelaide's can be a very very tough gig for
Speaker 1: whoever it lines up against them. But I also saying this,
Speaker 1: how is kN Hinkley not signed for another twenty years? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're a big kN Hinkley fans on this. We saw
Speaker 1: his little jiggy gave last week and holy smokes, he
Speaker 1: needs to be signed back up.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Kind of remind me like the Krusty Krab.
Speaker 2: From the Yeah, I don't know, and I don't know
Speaker 2: what anyone else knows, because it's like every like there's
Speaker 2: all these rumors that always circulate within the media and
Speaker 2: stuff that it's like, oh, Dimmer finished up. Ken Hinkley
Speaker 2: mightn't be there next year. He's like, how what are
Speaker 2: you talking about? The blokes?
Speaker 1: One?
Speaker 2: What eight in a row? They've lost two games for
Speaker 2: the year. What else do you want him to do?
Speaker 2: What does Ken Hinckley have to do to get people
Speaker 2: off his back?
Speaker 1: It's touchy, figure it out.
Speaker 2: It's I don't.
Speaker 1: Understand, sick of waiting.
Speaker 2: Oh so, yeah, it's good to see Kenny up and about,
Speaker 2: poured up and about and it will be a fortress
Speaker 2: for just Adelaide going off at the moment. Both Adelaide
Speaker 2: teams absolutely flying the buzz over there must just be phenomenal.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's always good to see Kenny up and
Speaker 2: about doing his little jig. But yeah, well, like I
Speaker 2: guess we better move on to the other Adelaide team
Speaker 2: who's just flying at the moment. And this is this
Speaker 2: is a massive one because I think Brisbane where yeah,
Speaker 2: seven wins in a row halted by Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 2: There were so many good moments out of this for Adelaide,
Speaker 2: including Isaac Rankin kicked from a stopach little left foot
Speaker 2: snap ridiculous across his body does the Eddie Betts like,
Speaker 2: this is my pocket up the other end of the ground.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, still adi BET's pocket, but the
Speaker 2: pockets up the other end. Okay, so they got two
Speaker 2: pockets in the pants and he's got along the bucket,
Speaker 2: got the other pocket. I don't think he did celebrate
Speaker 2: with the crowd.
Speaker 1: Loved that. I love that Adelaide players celebrate with the crowd.
Speaker 1: They really really get him into it and I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of that. I love Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 2: You play there, have you played their many my.
Speaker 1: Favorite dobles because it's so small, run around as much.
Speaker 1: Is it hard to kick like the hill end? Is
Speaker 1: it swirly in there with the stand? Yeah, that you
Speaker 1: just deal with it. Like there was another goal that Rochelley,
Speaker 1: the greatest showman in the I f l. Rochelle kicked
Speaker 1: a goal and we're a big fan out it was.
Speaker 1: It was a real thread the needle kind of typed
Speaker 1: down from the angle, just slotted it right through and
Speaker 1: you best believe he gave it. I didn't give the
Speaker 1: You just kind of celebrate this mate. It wasn't macall
Speaker 1: with his friends out there and big texts Texas well
Speaker 1: your own you did a celebration from him the other week.
Speaker 2: Oh you played the Walker Texas Ranger theme.
Speaker 1: So that's what it was.
Speaker 2: He's back season kick. He's the season return Walker Texas Ranger.
Speaker 2: He came out kicked three on return. So good to
Speaker 2: have him in there.
Speaker 1: Good good little in for Adelaide, and they're going to
Speaker 1: be a tough team going through the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if they can shut themselves
Speaker 2: in the foot of having text you know, miss last
Speaker 2: week just putting it out there more hindsight stuff.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: It's pretty easy to be a good little hindsight operator.
Speaker 2: You come up with all the best hindsight stuff. It's
Speaker 2: the best. That's the best. Let's jump into what everyone's
Speaker 2: here for. Collingwood, North Melbourne. Three milestones in this game.
Speaker 2: Three two hundred gamers in Mason Cox and Jaden Stevenson,
Speaker 2: next team out of yours and Steel Side bottom three
Speaker 2: hundred games. Now, we can't not touch on this first,
Speaker 2: all the build up in the world, Steel comes out.
Speaker 2: People in the street. Did you see his neighbors put
Speaker 2: together a little banner and he drove his car through it?
Speaker 1: Very cute.
Speaker 2: It was very cute. And then unfortunately only a few
Speaker 2: minutes in and Steele was on early four.
Speaker 1: He was on pace for sixty elk on the day.
Speaker 2: And people going off every time he touched the wall.
Speaker 2: He got injured pretty much straight away and righty came
Speaker 2: out after quarter time, said mcl injury. Now, DC Darcy
Speaker 2: Cameron had this earlier in the season. Something like this
Speaker 2: different with like Ruckman. It's a bit like you know,
Speaker 2: you're coming off a big distance and you're just smashing
Speaker 2: knees together the racks, but a bit of innocuous, but
Speaker 2: Steel went down subbed out of the game. Did you
Speaker 2: know straight away that it happened?
Speaker 1: I was. I came to the bench and I saw him,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's never good, never year on the
Speaker 1: bench behind the bench, you know he has the second
Speaker 1: tier up and you got the jacket on. I saw
Speaker 1: him there, and yeah, it's just it was just sad
Speaker 1: because it's like, oh man, he was in good nick,
Speaker 1: you know until the until the injury, and he was
Speaker 1: going really well and having me have a blinder of
Speaker 1: a game, like really good. And then you kind of
Speaker 1: see him there and you're like, oh man, like it
Speaker 1: would you just because he's such an icon to the club.
Speaker 1: He's a fourth player in Colling with history to play
Speaker 1: three hundred games. He's been such a staple for such
Speaker 1: a long time there at the club, and he joins
Speaker 1: Pindles and them two and them sharing those kind of
Speaker 1: moments throughout their career and stuff like that. And to
Speaker 1: see him kind of go down in three hundred, I
Speaker 1: kind of turned around and go, well, at least it
Speaker 1: wasn't two ninety nine. Could be worse steal, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, but at least you got the three hundred,
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, you'd love for him to kind
Speaker 1: of go there and be able to get chaired off
Speaker 1: after a really good game and performing really well, and
Speaker 1: he was on that trajectory and unfortunately got injured. And
Speaker 1: it's just I think as players, we all knew by
Speaker 1: like quarter time, because you know, he's kind of came
Speaker 1: out there with a jacket on, and that was an
Speaker 1: ideal by any means. But luckily enough we were still
Speaker 1: be able to get the win for him, and you know,
Speaker 1: he was able to enjoy the week that was all
Speaker 1: of Tolla Budra or Shepherdon, where he was from. I
Speaker 1: think was there and all his brothers and family were
Speaker 1: loving it, and geez, I think he asked for like
Speaker 1: sixty or fifty something tickets or whatever it was, and
Speaker 1: it was great, well owned down three hundred game and
Speaker 1: something we're super proud of him for and yeah, super
Speaker 1: humbled to have him on the team.
Speaker 2: Well, walking around in the rooms after the game, you
Speaker 2: can tell every side Bottom they've got a very side
Speaker 2: Bottom esque face. But I was sitting up in the
Speaker 2: friends and family section and I saw it early, and
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say anything because I was like,
Speaker 2: oh god, I hope they didn't see it. But he
Speaker 2: walked out a quarter of time and the whole wing
Speaker 2: gave him a standing o and he had his big,
Speaker 2: you know, signature smile on his face, which was good,
Speaker 2: and he signed some was he signing autographs?
Speaker 1: That's just three quarter time? Yeah, I think someone like
Speaker 1: threw something over like the plexiglass there and he signed
Speaker 1: it and threw it back, and that's just steal one
Speaker 1: on one, you know, just always given to the people,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was. Yeah, it's awesome. He's an absolute legend,
Speaker 1: a great human, super humble and just loves playing football,
Speaker 1: like just the happiest man. And it's a credit to
Speaker 1: him how far he has come, and yeah, what he's
Speaker 1: still accomplishing now.
Speaker 2: One of your former teammates, Jaden Stevenson, also ran out
Speaker 2: for his one hundred barrel.
Speaker 1: He actually kicked a barrel in the game, and I
Speaker 1: had real big flashbacks there Ton.
Speaker 2: You'll get investigated, but yeah, he had a really good
Speaker 2: game and I probably hate to say, I think he'd
Speaker 2: be cue and.
Speaker 3: To bring it up as soon as it happened to
Speaker 3: I'd like, oh, it was just he had back of
Speaker 3: the flies, good Mark and back of the flight and
Speaker 3: bit Q in a one on one and that'll knocked
Speaker 3: down as we're sende a little bit old qball.
Speaker 2: Yes, doubled it in one go. But that was great
Speaker 2: to see him out there and some of the Collingwood
Speaker 2: fans giving him a clap when he kicked a couple
Speaker 2: of a couple of snags on.
Speaker 1: The days star for us, you know, and he played
Speaker 1: the Grand Final and everything else, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: probably the reason for successor of that twenty eighteen period.
Speaker 2: Now, talk us through this. You got down here written
Speaker 2: flys pre game. Now what happened pre game?
Speaker 1: I think it's already been talked about. Fly Fly drives
Speaker 1: up a little bit for it and an American flag
Speaker 1: hang out his back pocketing, and he loves a pregame
Speaker 1: like just laugh, right, He like kind to break the
Speaker 1: tension of the game, you know, and then he gets
Speaker 1: into the serious stuff. But at the beginning of every
Speaker 1: meeting he kind of has a bit of a laugh,
Speaker 1: whether it be saying it's John Noble's birthday or saying
Speaker 1: something else or whatever it may be. And obviously for
Speaker 1: the four hundred games between the two of us, he
Speaker 1: had a bit of a laugh and stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: put I think like my face onto steal and steal
Speaker 1: onto my face, onto my body and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And I had a bit of a funny, funny thing.
Speaker 1: But Craig is one of the best humans of being
Speaker 1: able to break the ice, I think with players and
Speaker 1: definitely did that pre game. And yeah, it's a credit
Speaker 1: to them because I think those moments are just realizing
Speaker 1: the moment, having a laugh to break the ice and
Speaker 1: then kind of focusing in and really honing in on
Speaker 1: the details is a great way to coach team into
Speaker 1: a game.
Speaker 2: Now, while we're in pregame mode, big build up for
Speaker 2: the week, did you get any juicy text messages from
Speaker 2: big names celebs.
Speaker 1: I still have I think fifteen unread messages on my
Speaker 1: phone that haven't got to I've tried to answer every
Speaker 1: single one of them, but every time I answer one,
Speaker 1: it's like then two more come through and like super fortunate, awesome,
Speaker 1: like love that everyone's reached out. It's been amazing. No,
Speaker 1: I just had a few. I did have one person
Speaker 1: that reached out. Bradon Special, someone special, someone special, special,
Speaker 1: someone someone that I'm the biggest fan of. No, guess again,
Speaker 1: who Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, he's a player. He's a player.
Speaker 1: Different time. I had a great man a place for
Speaker 1: the Melbourne Demons. You wouldn't believe it. We talked about
Speaker 1: murlier in the podcast Picket the great Man sent me
Speaker 1: a message, sent me a DM. Such a legend, such
Speaker 1: a legend. We need to get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Thrown out there, everyone tag Picket. We're gonna get him
Speaker 1: on the pod.
Speaker 2: I'm it's good that he reached out and that you
Speaker 2: haven't scared him off with you.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed he's not freaked out on me yet.
Speaker 2: Over the top clinginess coming in now. You did have
Speaker 2: your family in town and I ran into him post game,
Speaker 2: old filthy film.
Speaker 1: Fil all over it, miked up for the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was great content. He was pretty stoked about being
Speaker 1: miked up. Who was that for? For Collingwood? So I
Speaker 1: assume some point during this week come out with or
Speaker 1: cock special.
Speaker 2: That was juicy. I said that I wanted to see
Speaker 2: this from him. I want to see like a meat
Speaker 2: smoking YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Where he that's a great call.
Speaker 2: Actual, yeah, like where he you know he does the
Speaker 2: briskets and all that stuffs barbecue. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 2: see it. I want to see it. But it was
Speaker 2: good to see your family in town. I don't know
Speaker 2: if we've met before. I feel like we would have
Speaker 2: along the line you've met Nolan. Nolan's the episode if
Speaker 2: you haven't listened to it, But it was like, it
Speaker 2: was good to meet the family in the post podcast era,
Speaker 2: like the era that we're in that is, you know,
Speaker 2: we tell stories about him every week and.
Speaker 1: They listened to every podcast. And I called Phil filthy Phil.
Speaker 2: Like every week, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: is he going to be like finally I get to
Speaker 2: catch up with the guy that keeps calling me freaking
Speaker 2: filthy Phil.
Speaker 1: But it was good.
Speaker 2: It was a good vibe down there in the rooms,
Speaker 2: and it was good getting around there. I tapped up
Speaker 2: Nolan and I shook Filthy's hand because I was like,
Speaker 2: mister Phil.
Speaker 1: Mister Phil.
Speaker 2: And then your mom came in for her hand and
Speaker 2: I was like, bring it in. I got the big hug.
Speaker 2: But that was good. It was good down there. A
Speaker 2: few people down there. You had Pebs down there, the
Speaker 2: one of the ogs that got around your early days,
Speaker 2: taught you how to play the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very good.
Speaker 2: One of your friends that was handing out the room
Speaker 2: passes said, yeah, do you know do you know mister
Speaker 2: Anthony and Pebs two guys Anthony and Pebbs. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, m Yeah, So caught up with Anthony and
Speaker 2: Pebs and yeah, it was a nice vibe. It was
Speaker 2: a good game. We've got a few more things to
Speaker 2: talk on. You only seem to exclusively take one hand
Speaker 2: marks Now is this is this a new thing? And
Speaker 2: where where'd you where'd you pull this from? Because this
Speaker 2: only happened in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: Tough whenever the other ones hold behind your back feedback, No,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's just one of those things. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like just you kind of get that separation
Speaker 1: with one arm, then that gets stuck in between somehow
Speaker 1: something gets stuck, you know, and you can't move it
Speaker 1: out of the person chests. I don't know how that means.
Speaker 1: But then you have to bring out the other one.
Speaker 1: But I think it's the whole thing. It's like, if
Speaker 1: you know, you use your reach, if you get the
Speaker 1: hand up, and it's almost a jump ball after that
Speaker 1: chances so I'll take my you know, I'll take the
Speaker 1: betting odds on that one to get a jump ball.
Speaker 1: So yeah, two weeks in a row, a little one handers.
Speaker 2: How long do you do you reckon? Each arm is?
Speaker 2: How long is your.
Speaker 1: Think You're you're armworth is the same as your height,
Speaker 1: So I assume about seven feet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I had so three and a half foot.
Speaker 2: I'll take out a little tattle there, not much I reckon.
Speaker 2: That's a good little tactic. Just hit him with the
Speaker 2: fen and your hands are the size of two man's hands,
Speaker 2: so like you've just been able to palm down the ball.
Speaker 2: New tactics. They're going to have to come up with
Speaker 2: a little, a little way to defeat that. But I
Speaker 2: hope we don't. We just told your new tactic. But
Speaker 2: one other thing that I notice, hopefully they didn't notice that.
Speaker 2: But one thing that I didn't notice. You took a
Speaker 2: mark early. And I'm like, oh, big fellas on, and
Speaker 2: you missed it.
Speaker 1: I didn't take a mark as a free kick, didn't
Speaker 1: deserve it.
Speaker 2: I missed it, Okay, So you missed it, and you
Speaker 2: just got so filthy with yourself. And then I remember
Speaker 2: that last week Fly said that you get really angry
Speaker 2: with yourself when you miss girls.
Speaker 1: Oh my horsess critic. Now, how the media is bad
Speaker 1: and people like talk shit about me internally?
Speaker 2: Oh just how do you think that helps you?
Speaker 1: That you got to get it out of your system.
Speaker 1: It's like a venting it's a whole venting thing. If
Speaker 1: you have farm. Sorry for the kids out there listening,
Speaker 1: but maybe you have farm or two if I miss
Speaker 1: a goal, but yeah, yeah, it's just it's frustrating. But luckily,
Speaker 1: you know you kicked the next two such shots and
Speaker 1: were happy days.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he's just a bit of
Speaker 2: maybe go down, Matthew Rell, eat a little grass.
Speaker 1: Just I'll do the next jack in the box. I
Speaker 1: do just have a little blade of grass. Spit it out.
Speaker 1: Check it out channel seven.
Speaker 2: For oh boy. I just want you to touch on this.
Speaker 2: Jordan to Go. I don't know if you know him.
Speaker 2: He's having a blind over season and he had another ripper.
Speaker 2: I think it was like thirty five and a goal
Speaker 2: yesterday or something around those numbers. But it's getting pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 2: It's out of hands. A lot of people are talking
Speaker 2: about Nick Dacos and I reckon he must be loving that,
Speaker 2: because finally Jordan to go. He doesn't have the attention
Speaker 2: that he used to cup week in and weak out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it must fill you with confidence. And this bloke just
Speaker 2: tear it up in the midfield.
Speaker 1: See him in the midfield. Sometimes I'll be playing rock
Speaker 1: and I'll like, yeah, tap it down. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Jordan was just like he just picks up
Speaker 1: off the ground. One guy tries to tackle and just
Speaker 1: bounces off that dude. Now I'm like sitting there just
Speaker 1: like watching it. I've got like a front row seat
Speaker 1: to this whole thing happening. He just I think last
Speaker 1: week at one point, bounce off one guy, bounce off
Speaker 1: another one bounced off me. And then when you kicked
Speaker 1: the Ford fifty, them all inside Ford fifty. The man
Speaker 1: is one of the hardest people to tackle. He's got
Speaker 1: just that lower center of body where he just kind
Speaker 1: of just shoves people away and just like rips away
Speaker 1: from people and is able to get the ball out.
Speaker 1: And he's playing so well at the moment. And I
Speaker 1: think on at one point during the game he had
Speaker 1: done something and then kicked the goal. And if I'm
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench ill like a fly goes. He's
Speaker 1: a damn good player, and I go, yeah, he is
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy. You are literally when you're in the ruck,
Speaker 2: you're tapping down to Pendles, who's like goat status. Then
Speaker 2: you got Jordie. Now you got Tom Mitchell, who's like
Speaker 2: he was just ripping it out and getting it to
Speaker 2: the outside at every opportunity. You got so many midfielders
Speaker 2: around you, it's just must be a good field.
Speaker 1: You got tay you on this just just a ball
Speaker 1: just like just ramps through everyone just tackles every single
Speaker 1: person that comes there. I'm just there's the people that
Speaker 1: come through the middle. Were very fortunate as myself and
Speaker 1: Dorothy Cameron to to have that kind of client tele
Speaker 1: coming in there to help us out.
Speaker 2: To be fair pretty exciting. All over the field. You
Speaker 2: got Checkers took a mark and Bobby Hill was streaming
Speaker 2: past on one side and Jamie was streaming past on
Speaker 2: the other side, both hands out like give me that,
Speaker 2: and he just burnt them. But he went back and
Speaker 2: kicked the goal. So you should have seen Bobby. He
Speaker 2: was filthy. He was like, mate, I was flying the
Speaker 2: fastest guy in the he was zooming and at ground level.
Speaker 2: At the ground you can actually see how quick this
Speaker 2: bloke goes. But hey, I think that's pretty close to it.
Speaker 2: Touch on. So next week you're going to Perth.
Speaker 1: Go on Perth, Yeah with the fan WI the Perth
Speaker 1: fam is coming out to Perth. Yeah, coming out to
Speaker 1: w O think about doing right in a silent see
Speaker 1: a Quaker hawker.

Speaker 2: So yeah, that'll be an interesting one. Maybe goes to
Speaker 2: Oh you can't go to some wineries over there, but.
Speaker 1: The fan mom and Daddy going to the market river
Speaker 1: after There'll probably be some colling and fans down there.
Speaker 1: Mom and dad seriously getting recognized everywhere they go. Even
Speaker 1: you were getting recognized at the game. You were saying,
Speaker 1: you're becoming a bit of a celebrity braiding. But it's
Speaker 1: real weirdle listening. Please keep doing it every interaction.
Speaker 2: Like you might think, oh, gee, wouldn't you love it
Speaker 2: or something, but like I am awkward person, and it
Speaker 2: was like I reckon, I butchered every conversation. And every
Speaker 2: time I butchered a conversation, I was like the next conversation,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it, and then like so walking in
Speaker 2: to two young blokes, Oh my god, Braiden, how's he
Speaker 2: going love the podcast? I just I don't remember what
Speaker 2: I said. And then getting in there and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've seen you on the TikTok.
Speaker 1: TikTok.
Speaker 2: Our TikTok goes off a lot of young kids. So
Speaker 2: we've got to watch us swearing. That's one thing that
Speaker 2: I took out of this, gotta watch your swearing, because
Speaker 2: we do have a lot of young young fellas that
Speaker 2: are watching us young ladies as well. A few people
Speaker 2: showed me their posters and stuff Big Mace's one hundredth
Speaker 2: and stuff. It was really cool. It was cool to
Speaker 2: be out there and just realize that this thing is growing.
Speaker 2: Like we sit in a van in my driveway, but
Speaker 2: it exists outside of this van in my driveway, so
Speaker 2: it was really cool. A lot of people notice this
Speaker 2: from the tiktoks or what have you, so it's awesome
Speaker 2: that the community is growing. Love the feedback. I'll try
Speaker 2: get less awkward over time. If you stop me in
Speaker 2: the streets. Some bloke out of here was like, right
Speaker 2: now you going to the game. I was like, yes, no,
Speaker 2: I just freaked out. My brain shut down. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 2: yeah no, yeah yeah nah yeah, I had a stroke.
Speaker 2: But I'll get there. I'll get there. I'm starting to
Speaker 2: be more comfortable with, you know, existing outside the house.
Speaker 2: But one we've got another one shining moment. We talked
Speaker 2: about all the you got a hundredth miles, then that's
Speaker 2: pretty good. You got you got three hundred, that's okay,
Speaker 2: you got four hundred games. Matt Nichols four hundred games
Speaker 2: is an umpire.
Speaker 1: For those that don't recognize the name Mattie Nichols, he
Speaker 1: is an umpire for the a f L. We love
Speaker 1: umpires here. That's actually probably the best way for people
Speaker 1: to know who he is. Looking for a discussion. Decent bouncer,
Speaker 1: decent bouncer the ball do you know the good bounces?
Speaker 1: I do? His back's been a bit sore. That's straight.
Speaker 1: He's actually no razorre can bounce it straight. You just
Speaker 1: can't bounce it high. Not a lot of not a
Speaker 1: lot of high jump. Yeah, it's it's more of a
Speaker 1: ball up from racer right. Friend of the podcast, and
Speaker 1: he's been on check out his podcast. That was a
Speaker 1: really good one.
Speaker 2: He was good in the search Bar annoyed me his
Speaker 2: podcast because you want to, like, you know, you want
Speaker 2: to think that you can stump the umpires, but he
Speaker 2: was just our clarity. He makes you see it from
Speaker 2: his point of view, which is annoying because you don't
Speaker 2: want to you want to live in you want to
Speaker 2: fight with him, but he's he's just so well spoken.
Speaker 1: That's it. Last saying pros up Steel, we love your mate,
Speaker 1: prays up Sidie. The man with the greatest name in
Speaker 1: all of the IFL Steel side Bottom. I don't think
Speaker 1: he gets enough recognition for that.
