Speaker 1: Good day, guys. Welcome to another episode of The Mason
Speaker 1: Cox Show. No, obviously, I'm not Mason Cox. Mace's up
Speaker 1: in Sydney and he will be joining us via the
Speaker 1: power of the Internet. But I am here to give
Speaker 1: you a little sneak preview to this week's episode because
Speaker 1: we talk all things Finals, including Collingwood's big win over
Speaker 1: Essendon that gets them the form they need heading into
Speaker 1: the final series, and Jack Ginevan actually got a free kick.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. We'll talk about the score reviews
Speaker 1: going up through the roof score review galore, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Coleman race that was between Charlie and
Speaker 1: Text and how all of that played out and it
Speaker 1: was down to the wire. Really. All that and more
Speaker 1: on this week's episode. So sit back and enjoy the show.
Speaker 2: Okay, legends, let's get into it. Welcome Bradon Cox.
Speaker 1: Good a, Mason. Now I've got some news for you.
Speaker 1: Did you know that you guys are still in finals,
Speaker 1: because it doesn't look like you're in Melbourne.
Speaker 2: No, not Melbourne. I haven't jetted off for the off
Speaker 2: season just yet, Brod, and I am up here. We've
Speaker 2: got the weekend off obviously with a bye week before finals.
Speaker 2: So I've taken the initiative to come up to Sydney
Speaker 2: for the weekend just enjoy a bit of warmer weather,
Speaker 2: head to the beach and get it brid of that
Speaker 2: vitamin D as they.
Speaker 1: Say, gotta love getting some of that D. Let's jump
Speaker 1: into the clanger because they were just contradictory this weekend.
Speaker 1: Where the commentators all last week obviously the agenda was
Speaker 1: we need to fix his score review system. We need
Speaker 1: a better system. We need more score reviews, we need
Speaker 1: less score reviews, we need to tighten things up. Well,
Speaker 1: they like a bit of both ways. And throughout the
Speaker 1: whole weekend we saw a ramp up in score reviews,
Speaker 1: and we saw some correct decisions being made off the
Speaker 1: back of those. But boy, oh boy, wow weed, didn't
Speaker 1: we see some of the commentators just having a big
Speaker 1: old silky winge wine. Oh they delaying. The things are
Speaker 1: slowing down. We got to the correct decisions, and I
Speaker 1: think that was the whole point of the system. We
Speaker 1: got some correct decisions this weekend. We got some overturns,
Speaker 1: we got some confirmations, mostly off goal reviews, which doesn't
Speaker 1: slow down. Shit. Mace so I don't know what they
Speaker 1: were sucking about, but it was ready, they had it primed.
Speaker 1: They knew exactly what they were going to complain about
Speaker 1: this weekend. Either there was going to be another mistake
Speaker 1: and they were gonna, you know, tee off, or there
Speaker 1: was going to be a lot of score reviews, and
Speaker 1: boy oh boy, didn't they just suck it up. And
Speaker 1: so I'm clanging all the footy commentators that had a
Speaker 1: big old winge about the score review system because we
Speaker 1: saw zero issues with it this weekend. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what they were complaining about.
Speaker 2: Mace people just are never happy, you know, they just no,
Speaker 2: there's no solution that's absolutely perfect for everyone. Now it
Speaker 2: is a big shout out to the score review and
Speaker 2: we're going to get into that because that actually was
Speaker 2: used correctly, and you wouldn't believe that the feedback the
Speaker 2: rest of the world has been given them. Maybe they're
Speaker 2: taking it on, who knows, but into my cleaner of
Speaker 2: the week now. It happened in our game, and there
Speaker 2: was obviously a massive ordeal with Andrew Phillips and tip
Speaker 2: I playing their last game for Essidon and Tippa obviously
Speaker 2: you know he's not a massive human. And they carried
Speaker 2: him off on the shoulders. But Andrew Phillips, no love,
Speaker 2: didn't get anyone to grab him, you know, throw him
Speaker 2: up on the shoulders, carry him off. Nothing, just had
Speaker 2: to walk off on his old loan some and all
Speaker 2: his just so. I was upset. I was not happing.
Speaker 2: I looked at Angel like, hey, if you need a
Speaker 2: big fellow to carry off man, I'm happy to do it.
Speaker 2: You just let me know. But Essen just got to
Speaker 2: be better. You know, it's not just Tip his last game,
Speaker 2: it's also Andrew Phillips. Give the man some love, all right.
Speaker 1: That's what they needed. They needed a rent a big men.
Speaker 1: They needed to get a couple of big boys across
Speaker 1: from Collingwood just to help out probat him up, because
Speaker 1: they you know, they'd a bit down in the in
Speaker 1: the big man stucks over there at Essendon.
Speaker 2: At the moment, I think DC and myself would have
Speaker 2: been happily to take one leg each and carry him
Speaker 2: on our shoulders off and it would have been a
Speaker 2: beautiful moment for everyone. I will say that. But we'll
Speaker 2: get into the games this week now, Hawthorne. First off,
Speaker 2: the cab cabrank We got Hawthorne fifty six versus Freemantle
Speaker 2: ninety three the score and Caleb Strong playing pretty well
Speaker 2: and also playing against his younger brother John, so it's
Speaker 2: a bit of a family affair this weekend and Strong
Speaker 2: it finished with thirty two disposals nine clearances. That's fair
Speaker 2: to say he had a decent game. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: what Joe did. He didn't make the highlight package, so
Speaker 2: I'm assuming Caleb Strong took out their brother win jeeesus.
Speaker 1: You know how competitive it is between brothers, Mace, you
Speaker 1: go get the got to get the runs on the
Speaker 1: board early, especially if you're the older brother because you
Speaker 1: know the younger brothers coming for your throne.
Speaker 2: Understand John, maybe he'll have better a career, thank a
Speaker 2: little bit eventually. But Caleb at the moment one of
Speaker 2: the stars over there Freemantle and playing well. And fore
Speaker 2: they reached the semi final last year. But obviously now
Speaker 2: with the eight finished up, they do miss the eight,
Speaker 2: finishing in a ten and thirteen record, but they can
Speaker 2: hang them so hang their head high because they've won
Speaker 2: three of the last five, so they didn't just fold
Speaker 2: over at the very end of the year. They still
Speaker 2: made a bit of a run for it and were
Speaker 2: able to have a bit of I don't know respect
Speaker 2: going into the end of the season.
Speaker 1: How do you see that because obviously there was expectations
Speaker 1: on them going in off the success from last year.
Speaker 1: Does the you know late little flurry that doesn't really
Speaker 1: mean too much checking that appeases the fans.
Speaker 2: I think it appeases the coach and also the fans. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's well as say we look at We'll talk
Speaker 2: about North Melbourne at the very end and then playing
Speaker 2: well against against their their team, the old Gold Coast
Speaker 2: Sons down there and Tausi later today but later in
Speaker 2: the episode. But I think these you know, these showing
Speaker 2: up at the very end of the season, and you know,
Speaker 2: whenever you don't really have anything to play for and
Speaker 2: you're maybe out of finals and still wanting to get
Speaker 2: the win on the board, it's a sign that you know,
Speaker 2: you've got some people that are investing in the future
Speaker 2: and see a definite future with some of the younger
Speaker 2: kids on the list.
Speaker 1: And how did our boy Finn McGinnis go. Because we
Speaker 1: like to touch on finn Finns up We've got a
Speaker 1: few Finns in the League. But how did Finn McGinnis
Speaker 1: go this week shut anyone down?
Speaker 2: He did. He started on Luke Ryan, which was unique
Speaker 2: because I think everyone was specting him go straight to
Speaker 2: Sarrong and he shut down Luke Ryan for the first
Speaker 2: chunk and then went to Strong but Sarong was just
Speaker 2: having a heck of a day and he ended up
Speaker 2: just releasing the tag before the end of the game.
Speaker 2: So FM McGinnis did his job, don't me wrong, the
Speaker 2: old tagman, but they kind of just let him go
Speaker 2: at the end of it and didn't really go with
Speaker 2: the tag. But he is one of those people. I
Speaker 2: feel like he's probably one of the most talked about
Speaker 2: people there at Hawthorne. Him and sicily up there with
Speaker 2: the most I guess headline worthy people. I would say
Speaker 2: over there at Hawthorn at the moment.
Speaker 1: Now let's jump into North v. Suns, because I did
Speaker 1: say last week and I put a clip up saying
Speaker 1: that the Suns should forfeit. Now, in hindsight, I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're looking at this one going maybe we should have
Speaker 1: because they went down and went down convincingly in the
Speaker 1: end because it was competitive at the start, a bit
Speaker 1: of a blockbuster for the four thousand, three hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy eight Tasmanians that showed up to Blenstone Arena, but
Speaker 1: North one thirty two massive score defeated the Suns ninety seven.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I don't if if your season wasn't already just that flat,
Speaker 1: traveling down from Gold Coast to Tazzy and getting pumped
Speaker 1: by a team that has lost twenty on the trot,
Speaker 1: I don't even what do you what do you? What
Speaker 1: do you say?
Speaker 2: Hey? As an avid Sun supporter, is a blip on
Speaker 2: the radar, brighton his a blip on the radar and
Speaker 2: thank god no one saw it but four thousand people,
Speaker 2: So it could be worse. It could be worse. But
Speaker 2: I'm excited for that Tasmania team to get down there
Speaker 2: and get all five thousand supporters. But Nick Larky on
Speaker 2: the day kicking nine and this man has been outstanding
Speaker 2: for the last chunk of this year, kick none on
Speaker 2: the day and he's he's up there for all Australian contention.
Speaker 2: There's a few rumors going around he might be in
Speaker 2: the in the squad, but he did have a heck
Speaker 2: of a day in the North Melbourne Football Club. I'm
Speaker 2: so confused. West Coast last week, you know, threw the
Speaker 2: number one pick out of the door and said we
Speaker 2: don't want it. And now North Melbourne said the exact
Speaker 2: same shit, literally a week later, and I said, you
Speaker 2: know what, we don't want the number one draft pick.
Speaker 2: We're gonna win. We're gonna give up the wooden spoon
Speaker 2: to someone else this year. We're going to give it
Speaker 2: over to the West Coast, and North you know it
Speaker 2: decides to go with maybe the number two pick this year.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I just don't understand it. I
Speaker 2: truly get to the point where you go, let's look
Speaker 2: towards the future. This game means absolutely nothing. No one's
Speaker 2: here and no one gives a shit.
Speaker 1: You think you're confused, Imagine being Harley Reid's sitting at
Speaker 1: home on the last couple of weekends going like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Perth. All right, cool, get used to that.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, I'm going back to North. Oh wait, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Perth. Oh wait, I'm going on. He
Speaker 1: must be that, his head must be spinning. It's like,
Speaker 1: does no one want me? Why they all winning games?
Speaker 1: All of a sudden they want the number two pick?
Speaker 1: Big Harley Reid's like, what about me, just sitting at
Speaker 1: home on the couch scratching his head. I will say,
Speaker 1: just touching on Laki one more time. Normally North is
Speaker 1: always touted this big war chest. They've got a war
Speaker 1: chest to take to the trade period and pick up
Speaker 1: whoever they want, except for the tiny little thing of
Speaker 1: no one wanted to go there. That that's just one
Speaker 1: tiny little part of it. But you reckon, they need
Speaker 1: to be opening up this war chest and giving Nick
Speaker 1: Larky just a big fat stack of cash to keep
Speaker 1: him at the club. Surely you're doing everything to keep
Speaker 1: him there because if he's kicking goals, now wait till
Speaker 1: your team's any bloody good and he'll be kicking it.
Speaker 1: He'll be the next guy to kick a hundred.
Speaker 2: I reckon, there's two people next to guy to kick
Speaker 2: a hundred. That's f It's just card. Yeah, Car ranges
Speaker 2: for a bit, But I think there's two people in
Speaker 2: the league I'm looking out right now. It's Larkie in
Speaker 2: Oscar Allen that need to sign a bag. They need
Speaker 2: to sign an absolute bag with whatever club it is,
Speaker 2: and they need to get their money's worth because they
Speaker 2: are holding their team in competition at the moment, and
Speaker 2: they're two absolutely shining stars in the competition. So I
Speaker 2: think hopefully, I don't know where all sits as far
Speaker 2: as this contract, but I would expect him to be
Speaker 2: signing a long year deal if North Melbourne is trying
Speaker 2: to lock him away.
Speaker 1: And you'd be loving being his manager at the moment
Speaker 1: because you know it's coming. Surely, you know it's coming.
Speaker 1: He's not the only exciting name coming out of the
Speaker 1: North Melbourne Football Club though, because obviously he got Sheezel
Speaker 1: who broke the record for the most disposals in a
Speaker 1: first season.
Speaker 2: Oh we all know. She's is one of my favorites
Speaker 2: and his mom's even a favorite of mine too. Now
Speaker 2: he brought Nick d Class's record that was that was
Speaker 2: made last year, and he's he's one of those guys.
Speaker 2: Obviously it's plug gonna win, you know, the first Year
Speaker 2: Rising Star Award, that's pretty much a lock for I
Speaker 2: feel like she's at the moment, and it's incredible what
Speaker 2: he's been able to do at a team that's, you know,
Speaker 2: like I said, lost twenty straight before this game, so
Speaker 2: he's been performing in an underperforming team as far as
Speaker 2: the rest of the competition goes. And it's an incredible,
Speaker 2: I guess accomplishment for him and something he should be
Speaker 2: definitely proud of. It's yeah, it's something you should hold
Speaker 2: his head high with. It's a pretty incredible accomplishment throughout
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's enough from that game. We're done
Speaker 1: with that game because we've already spent way too much
Speaker 1: time on it. It was for nothing, for no reason,
Speaker 1: no one got anything out of it. So let's move
Speaker 1: on to Brisbane versus Saint Kilda, a team that had
Speaker 1: something on the line for both sides, Brisbane and getting
Speaker 1: the chocolates seventy two. Sixty got the big w up
Speaker 1: at the Fortress up there in Brizzy, But it wasn't
Speaker 1: easy because Saint Kilda telling you they're just a tough
Speaker 1: defensive team. And I was going to say, now that
Speaker 1: they're getting the score on the board, but sixty points
Speaker 1: probably want to get that north maybe up to eighty
Speaker 1: or something. But yeah, it kind of set in stone
Speaker 1: that Brisbane home final going to be very tough to beat,
Speaker 1: you know, with the if they can get that first
Speaker 1: win and then they go straight through to another Gabba
Speaker 1: home pre limb, very very scary. They're undefeated at the
Speaker 1: Gabba this year, eleven from eleven.
Speaker 2: It's wild to think, but yeah, it's to lock away
Speaker 2: that top two spot after another result that happened with
Speaker 2: Port Adelaid later in the in the week on Saturday,
Speaker 2: I think it was it's it's a massive win from
Speaker 2: them because you got to think two home finals of
Speaker 2: the Fortress, no matter what, is going to be tough
Speaker 2: to be able to beat them up there. Like you said,
Speaker 2: they've been undefeated there year and going into a finals
Speaker 2: campaign that's a massive tick for them to be able
Speaker 2: to do. And during this game they lived inside their
Speaker 2: forward fifty and so other forward half. Really it was
Speaker 2: it was tough for Saint Kildo to be able to
Speaker 2: get their ball on the forward line. That's probably why
Speaker 2: they scored only sixty points. But they also held Brisbane
Speaker 2: the seventy two. And we all know Brisbane's got quite
Speaker 2: a few weapons up forward with the likes of Joe
Speaker 2: Danaher and oh favorites hold Charlie, you know Charlie out there.
Speaker 2: It's they've got quite a put in attack. So to
Speaker 2: hold them to seventy two points at home also a
Speaker 2: massive accomplishment for them. But Callum Wilkie, I want to say,
Speaker 2: this is the Australian in your mind, like he's had
Speaker 2: an incredible year.
Speaker 1: And it's going to be a tough year. I think
Speaker 1: the defenders are going to be the hardest to pick
Speaker 1: because there's so many good ones and the fact that
Speaker 1: probably the best defenders have missed a handful of games.
Speaker 1: So you're looking at Darcy Moore missed you know, the
Speaker 1: back end of the season, and you're looking at Sam Taylor,
Speaker 1: who he's you know, he's just a brick wall back there.
Speaker 1: You can't get anything past that guy. But he has
Speaker 1: missed a chunk of footy this year as well, so
Speaker 1: that kind of shakes things up a bit because you
Speaker 1: can't really just slot them straight in if you're looking
Speaker 1: at the whole year. But yeah, Wilkie's got to be
Speaker 1: up there. He was really impressive on the weekend. You
Speaker 1: did say they kept him to seventy two, but it
Speaker 1: didn't help that Joe Danaher was just shanking them from
Speaker 1: the top of the square. These were like I think
Speaker 1: there's probably only a small handful of people when they
Speaker 1: mark them at the top of the square that you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna watch this because it's not in the book.
Speaker 2: Yet.
Speaker 1: It's not in the book, and we saw why. He
Speaker 1: just drilled him into the post. He missed a couple
Speaker 1: of shockers from about twenty out and then he got
Speaker 1: the old Joe the goose and bashed at home from
Speaker 1: the goal line, and he gave the big, cheeky Joe
Speaker 1: Dana hurt smile, like, I couldn't miss that one.
Speaker 2: Oh man. He had a clutch goal in in the
Speaker 2: last quarter two to be able to get them over
Speaker 2: the line. But as a forward man, there's no worse
Speaker 2: nightmare than missing a set shot straight out in front.
Speaker 2: And luckily it was in the first quarter so he
Speaker 2: could make up for it. Imagine if it was in
Speaker 2: the fourth, it'd be absolutely kicking himself. But yeah, missing
Speaker 2: one from the goal scorer. I feel like we've all
Speaker 2: been there, and it's just the pressure of the moment
Speaker 2: gets to you because it's literally one of the easiest
Speaker 2: kicks you can possibly have in football. But it happens
Speaker 2: to everyone, happens to the best of us. Joey day
Speaker 2: and I've got mad love for the math. I think
Speaker 2: ever since that one day he was someone was doing
Speaker 2: a set shot. He ended up just sitting on the boundary,
Speaker 2: like up on the fence. Do you remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just set up on the fen just chilling, having a
Speaker 2: nice little breath, just hanging out, and the footy world
Speaker 2: lost their freaking mind. But it was just the most
Speaker 2: Joey d thing ever of just casual living life, you know,
Speaker 2: loving life up there in Brisbane, and I've been a
Speaker 2: big fan of Joe de ever since. Then we'll move
Speaker 2: on to the next game. We got Geelong versus the
Speaker 2: Bulldog's massive game for the Bulldogs, they needed to win
Speaker 2: this to be able to at least have a chance
Speaker 2: at finals and keep their hopes alive. And they ended
Speaker 2: up getting the Chocolates first win at GMHBA since two
Speaker 2: thousand and three. It's been twenty years since they won
Speaker 2: a GMHBA and they essentially is a good game until
Speaker 2: the last They kicked six goals to the Cats one
Speaker 2: in the final term, so they kind of, I guess,
Speaker 2: got a fire lit up under the button and then
Speaker 2: their ass and you know, decided to actually go out
Speaker 2: and win the game and give themselves a finals chance.
Speaker 2: So Geelong it did make seven changes for the match also,
Speaker 2: so there's quite a young team for them and they
Speaker 2: maybe were already sorting out their their Mad Monday kit.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe they were kind of looking past it.
Speaker 2: But it was a big day for the Big Bond,
Speaker 2: so that makes the brown Low race very interesting. We
Speaker 2: all will talk about this, I'm sure for the rest
Speaker 2: of the finals campaign between Nick BoNT and Petroca. Who's
Speaker 2: going to win the brown Low Race. But it's been
Speaker 2: impressive year for the Bond. He's one of the best
Speaker 2: in the league, as we all know, and he had
Speaker 2: definitely a good game of the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was a bit nerve wracking there for the Bulldogs
Speaker 1: because everyone knew that they had to win it and
Speaker 1: they came out like a team that had all of
Speaker 1: the expectations on their shoulders. They were missing kicks, their
Speaker 1: disposal efficiency was shocking. On the other hand, Geelong had
Speaker 1: nothing really to play for except for just getting the
Speaker 1: last win and heading into the Mad Monday happy with
Speaker 1: something to talk. But yeah, it was you know, you
Speaker 1: can't right off Geelong ever at GMHBA Stadium, even if
Speaker 1: they are fielding a team of kids. But there was
Speaker 1: one old bloke out there amongst them while there was
Speaker 1: a couple of dangerous still playing. But Isaac Smith's final
Speaker 1: game and he was just going for it. You know,
Speaker 1: they must have told him that he had all the
Speaker 1: freedom in the world. He had thirty six touches and
Speaker 1: kicked a goal, kicked the first goal of the game,
Speaker 1: which was awesome to see big smiles on everyone's faces.
Speaker 1: The whole team got around him. But then he just
Speaker 1: didn't stop taking shots he took. He had a snap
Speaker 1: on the run from a stoppage. He was just banging
Speaker 1: him home from every well, not home because he missed
Speaker 1: everything else outside of that first kick, but you could
Speaker 1: just tell he was having fun. There was one where
Speaker 1: he tried to cherry pick a little handball from an
Speaker 1: inside fifty mark and the umpire wasn't having any of it.
Speaker 1: He kept going yep, Isaac, out out out, And then
Speaker 1: it cut to Isaac and he was standing outside the
Speaker 1: boundary on the fence, just like, all right, I'm out.
Speaker 1: How much far out do I need to get?
Speaker 2: There's one thing we've realized about Geelong is even the
Speaker 2: boundary has no limits to him. That's still in play.
Speaker 2: So you know it's a fair call by Isaac, But yeah,
Speaker 2: he had. He kicked the first goal and had thirty
Speaker 2: six touches, so he had a good game and he
Speaker 2: was just smiling from grinning from ear to ear. So
Speaker 2: it's great to see him go out with a smile
Speaker 2: on his face. And I think at one point he
Speaker 2: almost hurtled over Patrick Tangerfield after he kicked the goal.
Speaker 2: That was a wild celebration. He just he seemed like
Speaker 2: the happiest man you could possibly imagine. And it's an
Speaker 2: incredible career he's been able to have an accomplish and
Speaker 2: it's a credit to him. I guess going out there
Speaker 2: just I don't know, it would be a great feeling.
Speaker 2: I guess not that you're you know, the game doesn't
Speaker 2: mean anything, but to go out there and just literally
Speaker 2: have fine and your coach play, not give a shit,
Speaker 2: what do you do? It's like a great experience I'm
Speaker 2: sure to happen.
Speaker 1: And it was Sam Menngola's last game for Geelong. Still
Speaker 1: going to go out there and explore his options. But
Speaker 1: there's a big turnover there at Geelong, so interesting to
Speaker 1: see what happens next year. Interesting to see what happens
Speaker 1: over their offseason because they've historically been able to draw
Speaker 1: in a lot of you know, fringe players or experienced
Speaker 1: players to just top up rather than dropping all the
Speaker 1: way off. So it'll be interesting to see what tactic
Speaker 1: they take, whether they go back to the draft or
Speaker 1: if they try to top up again. But one thing
Speaker 1: that we know, it's death taxes and Geelong's Mad Monday
Speaker 1: kid being absolutely elite. Grian Meyers turned up to Mad
Speaker 1: Monday dressed up as Leo Messi as we all know
Speaker 1: what went down with jaredor Weitely and comparing and know
Speaker 1: the fake tweets, the fake tweets, and then Isaac Smith
Speaker 1: fresh one when is Ben Keyes and the Tomahawk and
Speaker 1: Guthrie went as the goalposts and he kicked a goal
Speaker 1: and then they gave it a point and then he
Speaker 1: was celebrating, so you know they're always pretty good. Deaconing
Speaker 1: as Batman with the mask, I think Danger and Rey
Speaker 1: Stanley went his goose and Maverick and even had a
Speaker 1: Haley and everything.
Speaker 2: They do well over there in Geelong for Mad Monday.
Speaker 2: Billy Brownless, I think it was involved with the whole
Speaker 2: Adelaide debacle with Hawking cut three and declared it a
Speaker 2: point and they just love it Now, I think it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a geelong player. You'd feel
Speaker 2: almost a bit of pressure with your Mad Monday kit
Speaker 2: to make sure it's good enough. Yeah, because you know
Speaker 2: cameras are going to be out there having a look
Speaker 2: and everyone's going to be talking about it. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they plan these things years in advance,
Speaker 2: or it depends on something that happened. You look at
Speaker 2: theaconing had Batman because he had the mask that he
Speaker 2: had like kind of broken his nose are a parsas
Speaker 2: part of his face and had to wear the old
Speaker 2: lebron mask, the black mask, and decided to choose as
Speaker 2: Batman as his go to. So it's interesting to see
Speaker 2: what I do and everyone's eyes. They're kind of watching
Speaker 2: once they get knocked out of finals or whenever they
Speaker 2: finish up, and go, oh, what's it gonna look like
Speaker 2: this year? What are they gonna do? They're gonna roll
Speaker 2: out like old old boy out of an old bus
Speaker 2: at retirement or whatever it might be. And now I
Speaker 2: love it. I absolutely love it. They're keeping that Mad
Speaker 2: Monday tradition alive and the very few teams that probably
Speaker 2: do it well, I feel.
Speaker 1: Like, I hope people keep that sense of humor and
Speaker 1: you know, can take that forward into the future where
Speaker 1: it seems like we're all going to be very robotic.
Speaker 1: Now we know that Jack Reewoldt has a great sense
Speaker 1: of humor. He went to his Mad Monday dressed up
Speaker 1: as Dimmer, got the full kit. He had the Gold
Speaker 1: Coast Sons McDonald's T shirt on, he had the Gold
Speaker 1: Coast Sons apron on, and he was cooking up a
Speaker 1: big frying pan full of snags. So he's doing it well.
Speaker 1: So you were saying that they might plan it a
Speaker 1: while out, but even the ben Keyes one it was
Speaker 1: that's timely, that's like a week ago. So like the
Speaker 1: quick turnaround on these When do you think it's okay
Speaker 1: to start organizing your Mad Monday kid? Are you one
Speaker 1: of those ones that are like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: jinx it. We're not out yet, we're in fine. Was like,
Speaker 1: you you want to organize it after the fact, or
Speaker 1: you you know, you want to get something good sort of.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on if something unique happens, right,
Speaker 2: Like you might kind of have that idea in the
Speaker 2: back of your mind, but you don't actually buy anything
Speaker 2: probably until seasons done. Unless if you're in this situation
Speaker 2: where like Geelong new like a week before or whatever
Speaker 2: it was that they weren't going to make finals, you
Speaker 2: probably started at that point looking at options, you know,
Speaker 2: knowing that like that's going to be the endpoint of
Speaker 2: your of your season. So yeah, I think, I mean,
Speaker 2: like I remember, whenever I want this crocodile dundee, Like
Speaker 2: I didn't buy anything like I had. I got the
Speaker 2: whole like faked hand spray and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, and we're out and bought the hat and
Speaker 2: the whole kit and everything else within like a twenty
Speaker 2: four hour period. And I was looking all over the
Speaker 2: place to go try to find crocodile teeth and ended
Speaker 2: up using Campbell's I think shape this crocodile teeth. And
Speaker 2: it was just a debacle there. It was wild. I
Speaker 2: was trying to find a hat that looked like crocodile dundee,
Speaker 2: and I'm going out to the VIC markets and then
Speaker 2: going out to two dollars shops and everything else trying
Speaker 2: to find, you know, something that will make this thing work.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's not until I probably the season's done.
Speaker 2: You can really think, yeah, what exactly where am I
Speaker 2: going to get the staff? How do I get it?
Speaker 2: Where do I you know, find these things? And that's
Speaker 2: probably what they do. But like you said, the timeliness
Speaker 2: of the whole Adelaide thing with ben Keys is you know,
Speaker 2: quite funny within itself. And I think, you know, hanging
Speaker 2: out around the around the club, you probably have the
Speaker 2: you know, the post thing that they use. They probably
Speaker 2: had those just laying around, so it didn't really probably
Speaker 2: take too much actually, you know, sourcing out. He probably
Speaker 2: just walked into the training and then he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll just use these two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get Danger's old Adelaide kid, so he
Speaker 1: doesn't need a new one. There. I was thinking. I
Speaker 1: was trying to think of, yeah, some timely spicy ones
Speaker 1: that you could get into this year. I was thinking,
Speaker 1: you could go dressed up as the guy that stole
Speaker 1: your goggles, not ben Keyes, the guy that stole them
Speaker 1: from your house, not off your head. During the game.
Speaker 1: You could go as you go as Christian Petrarca, dressed up.
Speaker 2: For cooking Spicy, Little cooking Spicy.
Speaker 1: Who have you given ship to this year that you
Speaker 1: you need to get better?
Speaker 2: Rush here, who else? Oh Geelong at the very beginning radical, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'll be for Mad Monday yet.
Speaker 2: I haven't really thought that far ahead. Hopefully we're you know,
Speaker 2: we're still playing in quite a few weeks times. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think once your your season finishes up, you'll you'll
Speaker 2: figure it out. But we'll move on to the next game. Uh,
Speaker 2: For this gets a bit weird. West Coast played Adelaide
Speaker 2: and lost seventy eight to one twenty three. And the
Speaker 2: big thing about this game, right, so we've got the
Speaker 2: Coleman Rice going on. You know, text Walker was I
Speaker 2: think like maybe seven or eight behind Charlie before he
Speaker 2: started this, and Adelaide surely had to know this going
Speaker 2: into the game. Going, Let's get everything through text Walker,
Speaker 2: get as many goals to him as possible so that
Speaker 2: we can at least give him a chance to win
Speaker 2: this Coleman And he kicked nine goals for for the game,
Speaker 2: nine goals for and let me tell you this, if
Speaker 2: he would have kicked all thirteen of those, your boy
Speaker 2: would be holding the Coleman Metal at the end of
Speaker 2: this and he didn't. Obviously, Carlton was yet to play
Speaker 2: this game. At played their game later in the weekend,
Speaker 2: but he did kick nine to four, which gave him
Speaker 2: every chance to win the Coleman. And credit to him,
Speaker 2: he's kicked seventy five for the season and he finished
Speaker 2: the game one ahead of Charlie for the Coleman. Say
Speaker 2: he's he's gone, Oh, there's a chance, and Charlie playing
Speaker 2: g WS has to win to be able to get
Speaker 2: into finals. There's quite a bit on the line, so
Speaker 2: there's every chance he was gonna win this Coleman by
Speaker 2: the end of this game, knowing he kicked nine goals essentially,
Speaker 2: and you know, whenever the game started he took one
Speaker 2: out of the rock, snapped it and you were he
Speaker 2: was probably thinking, shit, I could kick twenty th there's
Speaker 2: nothing stopping me. And let's be honest, there's nothing more
Speaker 2: demoralizing as a ruckman than the Ford kicking a goal
Speaker 2: on you and then yeah, you maybe get dropped the
Speaker 2: next week. Personal experience on that one app but it
Speaker 2: was out in the west in West Coast against the
Speaker 2: Eagles and a massive day obviously for some of their
Speaker 2: long time players. Shannon Hearn, Luke Shoey, Nick Natt Nui
Speaker 2: all retired and the boys would chair it off. There
Speaker 2: was a massive celebration for them. So it was incredible
Speaker 2: to see them be able to get a proper goodbye
Speaker 2: at their home field, and I'm sure something that was
Speaker 2: quite meaningful for them.
Speaker 1: And it looked like they were going to get the
Speaker 1: job done there for a bit for their retiring boys,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately couldn't get across the line. See that's seventy
Speaker 1: five for the season I'm talking about. That's not that
Speaker 1: far off getting the ton. People are always talking about
Speaker 1: the ton is going to be impossible to get. There'll
Speaker 1: be a time and always comes swinging back around or
Speaker 1: do you reckon? It just won't ever happen again. With
Speaker 1: the defense nowadays, it'll.
Speaker 2: Never happen again. That was six six six. Oh sorry,
Speaker 2: not with sorry not with the way defense is played.
Speaker 2: Six six six has definitely helped, But the way defense
Speaker 2: is play now, just to get one hundred for the
Speaker 2: seasons just now, no one will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you say that now because that's where the
Speaker 1: rules have changed the game into now. It only takes
Speaker 1: them a couple more rule changes and we'll be back.
Speaker 1: What if they introduce multi ball and there's like three
Speaker 1: footies out there at any time. Yeah, every second quarter
Speaker 1: they introduce another ball and you end up you finish
Speaker 1: the game with three balls. For the game, it'll be
Speaker 1: way more interesting. So it only takes.
Speaker 2: You you just all hits. The person goes through that
Speaker 2: still counts as a goal. Maybe that will get it
Speaker 2: across the line.
Speaker 1: We'll figure out some stuff to get those numbers up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a good win by Adelaide, and
Speaker 1: officially that non review call has cost them finals.
Speaker 2: So ye.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a bit of a bit of a stinker.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a bit unfortunate. But them's the breaks,
Speaker 1: as Gills would say in a press conference with an arminusling.
Speaker 1: But let's move into their sister club, brother club, Port Adelaide.
Speaker 1: Port Adelaide did what they had to do and they
Speaker 1: beat Richmond at home. There's a few little scares this
Speaker 1: week because you thought Port will come out and just
Speaker 1: demolish Richmond, who was like depleted of its old stars,
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to play for.
Speaker 2: But won this game by a fair margin. They'd be
Speaker 2: able to get a home finals. So if they demolished
Speaker 2: Richmond properly demolished them, then they had a chance of
Speaker 2: popping up to number two on the ladder and then
Speaker 2: be able to have the home final and Brisbane would
Speaker 2: lose that fortress advantage.
Speaker 1: If it's not trending in that direction in the first
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen minutes and the team's fighting back, you
Speaker 1: go into okay, we need to win this game mode,
Speaker 1: because yeah, you need to get the w's on the board.
Speaker 1: A lot of these teams needed momentum going into finals.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a top four team coming
Speaker 1: off a loss going into finals. But they got the
Speaker 1: job done and there was a few interesting little things. Mainly,
Speaker 1: I like the Dusty Martin arc that was like, you know,
Speaker 1: started the season a little slow, and now he's just
Speaker 1: like ripping it up. He's almost back in his you
Speaker 1: know Dustin Martin primetime era form thirty three disposals seven
Speaker 1: inside fifties in a goal like fending off everyone. I
Speaker 1: don't know where it's come from, but it's awesome to
Speaker 1: see the big fella back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's maybe it's just a bit more opportunity with
Speaker 2: a few other big, big players out, but he is
Speaker 2: just dominating right now at the moment, and it's it's
Speaker 2: a good sign. I mean, everyone does A few people
Speaker 2: questioning whether or not he would go to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a that's a yes or no,
Speaker 2: but he's putting his hand up to say, I'm living
Speaker 2: up to my contract. I am doing as much as
Speaker 2: I can to keep Richmond in a, you know, a
Speaker 2: winning chance with some of these games. And if they didn't,
Speaker 2: if they would have kicked straight like they would have
Speaker 2: actually been in this game like they they mess quite
Speaker 2: a few goals and their kicking wasn't too great in
Speaker 2: the game, but it would have been a hell of a
Speaker 2: lot closer if they could have kicked straight. And Dusty's
Speaker 2: doing everything he can within his power to try to
Speaker 2: get a w on the board for them. So it's
Speaker 2: great to see big players standing up in that in
Speaker 2: those moments whenever, you know, maybe the game doesn't have
Speaker 2: as much meaning to it, he's still still got that
Speaker 2: fire to be able to to do something and be
Speaker 2: able to have a good game. And it's a credit
Speaker 2: to him what he's been doing the last you know,
Speaker 2: half of the season, and you know how he's been
Speaker 2: really showing up and being best on ground for Richmond
Speaker 2: over this whole time period.
Speaker 1: And it was good because Obviously, Tom Brown retired as
Speaker 1: a journalist. He's moved on, he's gone on to other things.
Speaker 1: But we didn't know where he was. We haven't seen
Speaker 1: him for a while, and he popped back up at
Speaker 1: the footy playing his first game for the Richmond Tigers.
Speaker 1: How did you see Tom Brown going out there?
Speaker 2: Now? Tom Brown not the Tom Brown reporter. Hate to
Speaker 2: break it to you, Braden. Tom Brown is a new
Speaker 2: debutante for Richmond and James Trezia I think it's how
Speaker 2: you say it. Both played their first game. They're bleeding
Speaker 2: at some of the young kids on their list. They
Speaker 2: both played pretty well, got their hands on the footy
Speaker 2: and it's good signs for the future form. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Tom Brown, yeah he is retiring as a journalist. But
Speaker 2: fortunately we have another Tom Brown that stepped up in
Speaker 2: his place, so we can still talk about Tom Brown.
Speaker 2: And he would be he would love that, he would
Speaker 2: love that. Now we'll go into the next game. This
Speaker 2: is a massive game because Sydney and Melbourne were playing
Speaker 2: each other. Melbourne obviously top four spot locked in, but
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure they came into finals a bit
Speaker 2: of momentum and Sydney had everything to play for at
Speaker 2: this point, and all the usuals for Melbourne stood up.
Speaker 2: He got Mills, Golden, Parker, Viney for Trca, Oliver. All
Speaker 2: were big on the day and they are looking schmick
Speaker 2: going into finals, aren't they.
Speaker 1: It's I think Oliver is getting it done. Like on
Speaker 1: the stat sheet, he's still having his twenty five, you know, plus,
Speaker 1: which we would all love if we could get twenty five.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would love to get twenty five in
Speaker 1: the AFL. But yeah, he's I think he's tiken away.
Speaker 1: He's starting to get that fitness back up and running,
Speaker 1: but Trucker almost carried him across the line. Viney and
Speaker 1: park are almost the same mold and they would just
Speaker 1: going head to head and getting into each other all day.
Speaker 1: I think I just want to bring up Goulden and
Speaker 1: we all know how good he is, well, we know
Speaker 1: how good he is to a degree, but if he's
Speaker 1: not picked as an all Australian wingman, I swear to god,
Speaker 1: if they put a midfielder in there that has never
Speaker 1: played wing in his life, there's got to be you know,
Speaker 1: we got some good selectors in there. Bucks is a selector.
Speaker 1: Surely he talks some sense into him, but Goulden out
Speaker 1: on the wing again forty two touches, two goals, and
Speaker 1: they were cracking goals goals, so there was one. His
Speaker 1: first goal was nuts. It was like out of the
Speaker 1: rock contest. Handballed to like blaky, blaky little lizard, scurry,
Speaker 1: run out to the wing, handballed it after Golden who
Speaker 1: kicked it running as fast as he could be, running
Speaker 1: and getting tackled at the same time from outside fifty
Speaker 1: and it went through almost post heighth. It's I don't
Speaker 1: get it. He does wonders for us little fellers because
Speaker 1: I see him running out out there and I'm like, go, go, well,
Speaker 1: you soldier, you sub six footer. You just love to
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 2: I hear the hell of a game. But I've got
Speaker 2: to bring this up now. A few things that happened
Speaker 2: in this as far as injuries, and that was probably
Speaker 2: one of the biggest things out of this bar another
Speaker 2: thing we'll mention, but Melksham does acl that's I think
Speaker 2: confirmed now. And another one that was on the injury
Speaker 2: was was Bailey Fritch look to have done a foot
Speaker 2: injury after coming back from the exact foot injury that
Speaker 2: he was missing footy for so he did finish with
Speaker 2: fot goals though, which is just obnoxious to think that
Speaker 2: he was able to do that with the foot injury,
Speaker 2: but does not miss the old man. But yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a few injuries for Melbourne they're going to have to
Speaker 2: replace or look after, I guess over these next couple
Speaker 2: of weeks and with Melksham Mount it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 2: Tom McDonald kicked five in the VFL and Brody kicked three,
Speaker 2: so their bigs are doing well in the VFL. Also
Speaker 2: a big win over North Melbourne and it'll be interesting
Speaker 2: facing Collingwood myself, Darcy Cameron, whether or not they bring
Speaker 2: Grundy back into play rock with them or what they
Speaker 2: end up deciding to do. Simon Goodwin, few interesting decisions
Speaker 2: going into finals.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely devastating the Melksham ac l because he's been
Speaker 1: almost a lone soldier up there in the last few weeks,
Speaker 1: kicking handy little mini bags of goals, playing well above
Speaker 1: his know his weight class, and it's like the other
Speaker 1: added layer that he missed the first Grand finals so
Speaker 1: he didn't get to win the premiership with the rest
Speaker 1: of the team. So he was in good form going
Speaker 1: into the final series. So it's just it's devastating in
Speaker 1: ACL and then it's devastating being at this time of
Speaker 1: the year. And then on top of that missing finals,
Speaker 1: when you missed the first Grand Final. Prayers up to Melksham,
Speaker 1: I think that's my biggest prayer for the year. That
Speaker 1: poor block. You don't want to go through that. Bailey
Speaker 1: Fridge looked like he was shot. He could hardly walk.
Speaker 1: They dragged him from the field, just returning back from
Speaker 1: a broken foot, and he was holding the same broken
Speaker 1: foot and everyone was like, well, that's it, he's done.
Speaker 1: They went straight down into the rooms and he re
Speaker 1: emerged and they were taping him up on the TV
Speaker 1: and you're like, what they must I don't know, they're
Speaker 1: going to get a quarter out of him before they
Speaker 1: put it. They put him down outside out the back,
Speaker 1: and yeah, he came back on and kicked another four
Speaker 1: goals and look sprightly. He was, you know, jumping around
Speaker 1: agile as ever. I don't know what they did to
Speaker 1: him down there, but they must have given him some
Speaker 1: good juice because he came back up and just just
Speaker 1: lit the whole joint up. Now, speaking about lighting the
Speaker 1: join up, SCG Lance Franklin Lap of honor for the
Speaker 1: retiring Buddy Franklin and it was amazing, a massive turnout,
Speaker 1: like forty plus thousand came to watch Buddy walk a
Speaker 1: lap for the last time, tears in his eyes, which
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of emotion from the Big Bud.
Speaker 1: So it meant a lot to him to go out
Speaker 1: there and do his lap with his wife and kids.
Speaker 1: So yeah, massive, I don't know, massive day for the
Speaker 1: Sydney Football Club. Unfortunately he couldn't get the win, but
Speaker 1: to have Buddy out there for one last time it
Speaker 1: was good to see.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it would have meant a lot to him
Speaker 2: obviously with so many people showing up for that game,
Speaker 2: obviously a massive game for them in the context of
Speaker 2: the year, but also to be able to send off
Speaker 2: such an incredible human and someone who's been massive for
Speaker 2: not only the Sydney Football Club, for the AFL for
Speaker 2: a long time. Everyone will remember his thousand goal for
Speaker 2: years and years and decades to come, and to have
Speaker 2: him out there, to be able to give a last
Speaker 2: lap honor and so many people clap him on, that
Speaker 2: would have meant the world to him. You know, he's
Speaker 2: they always say, you know, these people, they don't just
Speaker 2: magically show up there. There's an absolute army behind him.
Speaker 2: They get him to that point. I'm sure he would
Speaker 2: have been incredibly proud of everything he's accomplished, and how
Speaker 2: many people are there to support him was just absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2: So a massive shout out and congratulations to the man,
Speaker 2: the myth, the legend that is Buddy Franklin, one of
Speaker 2: the greats that we'll ever play this game. And yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be weird not having him out there next year.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be just a bit of a hole to
Speaker 2: fill in all of our hearts, I feel like, but
Speaker 2: these things happen. Unfortunately, careers cannot last forever, as we
Speaker 2: all know. But we'll go into the next game. Carlton
Speaker 2: seventy three versus WS one oh FIVEWS a lot to
Speaker 2: play for it. They got to win this or they're
Speaker 2: out of the finals. So Carlton going in. Obviously everyone's
Speaker 2: been talking about their big win streak and it's up
Speaker 2: for grabs and GWUS with everything on the line, got
Speaker 2: the job done on thirty two point victors on the day.
Speaker 2: Big news though, and we all were looking at this
Speaker 2: man at the beginning of this game, thinking is he
Speaker 2: gonna get the Coleman back from old texts text was
Speaker 2: up by one goal on him, and within the first
Speaker 2: quarter he essentially won the Coleman Medal back from him.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that would have been a nice feeling
Speaker 2: for him just to go I can take a breath,
Speaker 2: We've got the Coleman medal now and being the last
Speaker 2: game of the round, and he could sit there with
Speaker 2: a smile on his face knowing he's won that award. Also,
Speaker 2: before the game, GWOS ended up omitting Sam Taylor, who
Speaker 2: was gonna play on Charlie, So then Charlie was probably
Speaker 2: sitting there before the game going, hey, you might as
Speaker 2: well just lock this one in. I think we're ready
Speaker 2: to go. The Coleman medal up pretty much got in
Speaker 2: the grass, and now the fact that they're at number
Speaker 2: one defender that was going to play on him is omitted.
Speaker 2: He's probably gone, hell, yeah, this is gonna be an
Speaker 2: easy day out.
Speaker 1: And yeah, we talked about the brick wall that is Samaylor.
Speaker 1: I was almost a bit nervous for Charlie going up
Speaker 1: against Sam because he's kept a lot of big names
Speaker 1: to zero goals this season, so I thought up until
Speaker 1: late before the withdrawal that you know it was it
Speaker 1: was going to be a game on But yeah, Sam
Speaker 1: Taylor out hamstring injury, so that's going to be an
Speaker 1: interesting one leading into finals. Whether it was just like
Speaker 1: a little awareness as they say now going into the break,
Speaker 1: give him a couple of weeks to freshen art, but
Speaker 1: they did need to win the game, so it must
Speaker 1: have been serious enough to pull him out knowing that
Speaker 1: they needed to win the game, and they had the
Speaker 1: big Charlie up Ford, and we did speak about filling
Speaker 1: the hole that is Lance Franklin. So Charlie straightaway winning
Speaker 1: back to back Coleman's it looks like we've got already
Speaker 1: made for to you know, step up and fill the shoes.
Speaker 1: There's always someone that comes by and just you know
Speaker 1: that the next one up, the next one up, And
Speaker 1: it looks like Charlie's ready, mates, So be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how he goes. But let's not mix our words.
Speaker 1: Mason Gws making finals. I will say I am not
Speaker 1: fucking surprised because I picked it a long way out, big,
Speaker 1: big sound, and we're just getting started. Mace your Gold
Speaker 1: Coast Sons. They're just left in the shadows. It's time
Speaker 1: for the big giants to step up. And I called
Speaker 1: it earlier this year. I said that their output didn't
Speaker 1: reflect the amount of points they're getting on the scoreboard
Speaker 1: and on the ladder. And they have come home with
Speaker 1: an absolute rush and one of the most informed teams
Speaker 1: in the competition at the moment. So it is going
Speaker 1: to be scary for whoever they come up against, and
Speaker 1: they do come up against Saint Kilda, and it's also
Speaker 1: scary that Saints are in pretty good form. I think
Speaker 1: the bottom four of the eight are like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're looking at Carlton, Saint Kilda, GWS and Sydney and
Speaker 1: they're all, you know, been doing pretty well. Toby Green
Speaker 1: did what Toby Green does, step up, kick four goals
Speaker 1: when they needed him, most highest goalscorer on the ground.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't the only thing. Because when I say
Speaker 1: Toby Green and I say eye gouging, you're probably thinking,
Speaker 1: oh geez, what has Toby done now? But no, not
Speaker 1: Toby Green. Clean skin. Jacob watering is in a bit
Speaker 1: of hot water for grabbing around the eye area of
Speaker 1: Toby Green. And you would have thought Toby being in
Speaker 1: a bit of trouble himself. You might, you know, go
Speaker 1: into bat for Jacob Weetering and say, nah, nothing in it,
Speaker 1: nothing in it. But postgame was interviewed and said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Whaeders might be in a bit of trouble
Speaker 1: for that. Like I got in trouble for the same thing,
Speaker 1: so if I got in trouble, he should surely get
Speaker 1: in trouble. It was very tongue in cheek, but at
Speaker 1: the same time he's not lying, but watching the replay,
Speaker 1: my honest opinion was that he was just trying to
Speaker 1: like grab his head to be like get off my player,
Speaker 1: and his hand near the eye region for the briefest
Speaker 1: period of time. And yeah, they showed replay after replay
Speaker 1: in super slow motion, so it looked way worse than
Speaker 1: it was. And then they were like, oh, and he's
Speaker 1: cut on the eye. He's cut on the eye. You can't,
Speaker 1: you know, defend the fact that he must have got
Speaker 1: him because he's cut on the eye. It was the
Speaker 1: other eye. So you know, they were doing their best
Speaker 1: to you know, bury poor Jacob Witering that's going to
Speaker 1: play in his first final. Give the man a break.
Speaker 2: That's well you know me, I'm not opposed to people
Speaker 2: getting in trouble for eye gaging, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's interesting. I find it hilarious that
Speaker 2: Toby essentially rolled him under the bus post game by
Speaker 2: saying that. And I don't think we during is one
Speaker 2: of those people that probably goes out eye gouging people,
Speaker 2: like probably Toby has in the past. I feel like
Speaker 2: we doing we rings White line Fever is a bit
Speaker 2: more controlled than Toby's. Toby plays it and it goes
Speaker 2: well for him doing me wrong, But I think we
Speaker 2: Doing is a bit more controlled human in that sense.
Speaker 2: But I will say this about this game because it
Speaker 2: was quite important now to sorr WS their score. They're
Speaker 2: actuallyero point seven percent behind Saint killed Us, so if
Speaker 2: they would have kicked a few more goals, they would
Speaker 2: have actually had a home final playing Saint Kilda rather
Speaker 2: than the other way around, which might have changed you know,
Speaker 2: a bit of opportunity and a bit of a home
Speaker 2: crowd there, may have given you a bit of a
Speaker 2: you know, extra free kicks. Whoever it may be, you know,
Speaker 2: saying that umpires aside this, but it would have been
Speaker 2: a big deal for them to be able to play
Speaker 2: in front of a home crowd. Say that point seven
Speaker 2: percent was a big turning point. Unfortunately for them, couldn't
Speaker 2: get enough points on the board to be able to
Speaker 2: get that home final. But Carlton, as we all know,
Speaker 2: has been playing really well. Their ball movement has been great,
Speaker 2: their pressure has been great. Their back line did go
Speaker 2: without weedering inside for a little bit and that's whenever
Speaker 2: Gous really took advantage of it and scored quite a
Speaker 2: few goals in that second quarter, I want to say,
Speaker 2: while they were being checked by doctors before coming back on,
Speaker 2: So that was one opportunity to Jos too, took advantage
Speaker 2: of it and was able to get some points on
Speaker 2: the board front.
Speaker 1: And it's also good to see Steven Knelio. Obviously, a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago everyone was writing him off, but
Speaker 1: he's come back a couple of solid years of form,
Speaker 1: playing really good footy. Played his two hundredth game and
Speaker 1: he's only the fifth Giant in GWS history to do so,
Speaker 1: which is a massive accomplishment. And he had a massive
Speaker 1: game to twenty eight and kicked two goals.
Speaker 2: Not bad for all Steven, He's a yeah. Whenever the
Speaker 2: whole Amazon documentary came out, followed his journey of struggling
Speaker 2: through form and everything else and made it very publicized.
Speaker 2: Where now it's great to see him back and for
Speaker 2: him doing this thing and Gwos obviously, I'm sure you'd
Speaker 2: be extremely happy Brandon being able to say I told
Speaker 2: you so to everyone out there that was downing you.
Speaker 2: But it's incredible what he's done. Two hundred games at
Speaker 2: the club that you know has started very new and he's,
Speaker 2: like you said, only the fifth Giant to do so,
Speaker 2: so credit to him. Now there's something else that happened
Speaker 2: in this game. I want to mention the Gold review system.
Speaker 2: We talked about the be ending of this we'll talk
Speaker 2: about again now. Oliver Hollins from Carlton thought he had
Speaker 2: kicked an incredible goal from the pocket. It was unreal, spectacular, right,
Speaker 2: Everyone's gone out, yep, gold, no stress, no doubt. And
Speaker 2: then they all start jogging back to the middle and
Speaker 2: the score review system comes back and says no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I don't think so. It's Greaz the post. So you're
Speaker 2: telling me the score review system is now officially working
Speaker 2: for the AFL. I'm not sure if something was going
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes. Maybe someone was on holiday wherever
Speaker 2: it is, But all of a sudden, now the finals
Speaker 2: come around the corner. They've switched the on switch and
Speaker 2: it's backworking.
Speaker 1: It's interesting what happens if you actually use it, mates,
Speaker 1: if you actually call upon it. Let's get into the
Speaker 1: last game we need to review, which was actually the
Speaker 1: first game of the round, Essendon v. Collingwood. Collingwood absolutely
Speaker 1: demolishing Essendon, putting them out of their misery for another season.
Speaker 1: No finals for Essendon. Essenon did need to win by
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty odd points to maybe be a chance,
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't have got there with points anyway. But
Speaker 1: they only scored three goals for the game, which is
Speaker 1: awesome for Collingwood because they've had a key focus on
Speaker 1: defense after the last couple of weeks, leaking a few
Speaker 1: points with no us Moore in. So yeah, it was
Speaker 1: great to see and plenty that came out of this
Speaker 1: game we will touch on. Probably let's start with the
Speaker 1: scoring first and keeping Essenon to three goals, although they
Speaker 1: kicked three eleven three goals for the game, keeping them
Speaker 1: to thirty one points for the entire game. You guys
Speaker 1: have to be happy coming out of this one.
Speaker 2: I think there's been a lot of commentary aroun the
Speaker 2: defense from the media side, so maybe this shuts people
Speaker 2: up for at least another couple of weeks. I'm not
Speaker 2: really too sure, but yeah, even in that first quarter
Speaker 2: where we were just dominated and I think we're up by
Speaker 2: about forty five points within the first quarter, it was
Speaker 2: a sign of, you know, everything was kind of firing
Speaker 2: on our cylinders. We were back in our groove and
Speaker 2: you know, it's great to be able to hold them
Speaker 2: to a small margin in that sense and or a
Speaker 2: small score in that sense. So it was it was incredible, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, we have had a few changes, don't we wrong,
Speaker 2: with Darcy Moore and not being in there, and the
Speaker 2: captain of the team obviously someone who's very highly valued
Speaker 2: in that position that really organizes everyone that back line.
Speaker 2: We had Jeremy how go back for the game, so
Speaker 2: he played back in the back line also, So there's
Speaker 2: a few changes around there, but we're able to keep
Speaker 2: them to a low scorer, which I think, you know
Speaker 2: was a focus of ours to be able to get
Speaker 2: back into our defensive ways and understand that that's going
Speaker 2: to be able to make us better in the future
Speaker 2: going into finals and hopefully lead to us a few
Speaker 2: wins going into September. It's important to have a good
Speaker 2: back line and be able to stop teamsrom scoring a
Speaker 2: big score, and we realized that the week before going
Speaker 2: into that game and finishing that up. It was tough
Speaker 2: to be able to score over I think they scored
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty four points on us, So it
Speaker 2: was tough to be able to score one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty five points against any team. So we had to
Speaker 2: really lock up the defense and figure out exactly what
Speaker 2: was going on, and luckily we were able to do
Speaker 2: that against Essenat.
Speaker 1: You didn't only get it done down back, you got
Speaker 1: it done up for it scoring one hundred. It did
Speaker 1: kind of look like you went into a bit of
Speaker 1: self preservation mode towards the latter half of the game,
Speaker 1: which is only fair being up by such a margin.
Speaker 1: But Jack ginnovan, He's comeback has been monumental given that,
Speaker 1: you know, he could have easily just dropped his head,
Speaker 1: gone back to the VFL and played out the rest
Speaker 1: of the season there. He got back into the team,
Speaker 1: upped his pressure, still kicking goals and he did it
Speaker 1: again on the weekend, Collingwood naming him through their social
Speaker 1: media man of the Match. I think he had around
Speaker 1: seventeen touches but kicked three goals and dished off plenty more,
Speaker 1: and he had a few little interesting moments. So he
Speaker 1: did have a goal celebration. I'm not sure if you
Speaker 1: saw this or if you could talk us through it,
Speaker 1: but he went up and gave a little French kit,
Speaker 1: not a French kiss. He gave a little cheek kiss
Speaker 1: to Bobby after his goal celebration. Is that a premeditated
Speaker 1: thing or he just looked too delicious?
Speaker 2: Well? Now, also, there was a bit of a joke
Speaker 2: around the boys giving each other kiss on the cheek
Speaker 2: and stuff before the game. I think there was some
Speaker 2: TikTok video that was played as a bit of a
Speaker 2: bit of a lighthearted moment. So maybe Guinea took it
Speaker 2: within his own right to do it again to add
Speaker 2: to the video. I'm not too sure. But now he
Speaker 2: played really well on the weekend obviously, and you know,
Speaker 2: seeing him be back to his kicking ways and playing
Speaker 2: so well, it's a credit to him. Like you said,
Speaker 2: he's you know, had the struggle there in the VFL
Speaker 2: and played a lower level than he's probably used to
Speaker 2: for most of the year. And for him to be
Speaker 2: able to consistently rock up, play above the level and
Speaker 2: then take the opportunity and overs give it to him
Speaker 2: and be able to make the most of it's a
Speaker 2: credit to him. He's one of my favorite players, one
Speaker 2: of our favorite humans, and you always love him, you know,
Speaker 2: playing well, especially this time of year. We all know
Speaker 2: he's important to our structure and stuff like that. So
Speaker 2: it's great to see the man with a smile and
Speaker 2: a bit of a cheeky, you know, tongue out after
Speaker 2: a goal celebration, which was quite funny. But he's flying
Speaker 2: at the moment, which is great.
Speaker 1: Now. He might be our favorite player, but he's definitely
Speaker 1: not Redman's favorite player. Mason Redman the second time ripped
Speaker 1: his head off in the game, but I can understand
Speaker 1: why he would do it a second time because he
Speaker 1: wasn't penalized the first time. Mate, So second time around,
Speaker 1: umpire a final gave him a free kick, and the
Speaker 1: camera cuts to the bench where Fly is going ballistics
Speaker 1: celebrate and doing the double arm fist pumps, holding one
Speaker 1: finger up saying we finally got one for Jack Ginovan.
Speaker 1: Was good to see a free kick paid for this
Speaker 1: young kid getting his head ripped off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, it was. It's just you look back
Speaker 2: to a year before and it was just ignored. It's
Speaker 2: funny how one year can differentiate whether or not an
Speaker 2: on Park calls that decision, and yeah, Guinea slot in
Speaker 2: that one after. I'm sure it was a feel good
Speaker 2: moment for him.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt you guys obviously needed to have a big,
Speaker 1: convincing win. You were out there and it looked like
Speaker 1: although there was a lot kind of you know, on
Speaker 1: the line in terms of form and going into finals
Speaker 1: and final spots and everything, you look like you were
Speaker 1: enjoying your footy. It showed a number of times across
Speaker 1: the whole game where there was one where you took
Speaker 1: the mark in front of Cameron and you let it
Speaker 1: sail over your head and he fell over to making
Speaker 1: the mark and you're both having a bit of a laugh,
Speaker 1: laughing on the bench, laughing throughout, just a big smile
Speaker 1: on your face. Was that a focus of yours going
Speaker 1: into the week to just enjoy your time out there
Speaker 1: or was it just in the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit of I wouldn't say it's mainly
Speaker 2: a focus. I think just obviously with skinning up so
Speaker 2: much in the in the first quarter, it was it
Speaker 2: was a great feeling to be able to be up
Speaker 2: much and really enjoy the last little chunk of it
Speaker 2: and know that you know you've kind of got the
Speaker 2: game somewhat in your hands. And yeah, that moment where
Speaker 2: I think it was camera's going back to the flight.
Speaker 2: So the two biggest guys are have no one on
Speaker 2: them on the fat side of the ground and the
Speaker 2: ball gets kicked here and he just sits there. He
Speaker 2: marks the ball and he starts pointing up to me,
Speaker 2: What the hell are you doing? Actually called me off
Speaker 2: with the mark and he's like, I lost it. Lights,
Speaker 2: bro lost it. The lights. In my mind, I just
Speaker 2: I should have done it. But in my mind I
Speaker 2: was like, oh you want my guy was something that
Speaker 2: will help you my brothers.
Speaker 1: But no.
Speaker 2: He ended up kicking the goal, thinking shepherd the fellow
Speaker 2: on the line and kicked the goal. It was one
Speaker 2: of one of those goals for the year. So it's
Speaker 2: quite funny. Everyone was in good mood. I think Fly
Speaker 2: was laughing on the bench and having a good time too,
Speaker 2: and it kind of brought back the you know, some
Speaker 2: of the I guess the feelings midway and you know,
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year where you're kind of dominating
Speaker 2: teams and you really get to enjoy the moments, you know,
Speaker 2: whenever you kind of got the game wrapped up at
Speaker 2: an early point of the the term. So yeah, it
Speaker 2: was enjoyable, plenty of laughs throughout the game and had
Speaker 2: a good time.
Speaker 1: And I guess I should ask this one because there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of focus on Gorne and Grundy and
Speaker 1: how it hasn't worked. It seems with you and d
Speaker 1: C it has clicked pretty well throughout the whole year,
Speaker 1: Fly saying, you know, when you're both in form, it
Speaker 1: works really well. Obviously. How have you seen kind of
Speaker 1: your duo playing out over the course of the season
Speaker 1: and mixing it up forward and in the ruck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's a it's a bit
Speaker 2: different than the Max Grundy combination. Like I think if
Speaker 2: you look at the players like myself in DC, we've
Speaker 2: probably had a bit more exposure in the forward line
Speaker 2: than those two and they've always been a you know,
Speaker 2: number one dominant rocket their respective clubs. But for us,
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a you know, we can change
Speaker 2: and chomp, change and whatever it may be to the
Speaker 2: situation that needs to play out to best suit the team.
Speaker 2: So I think that's kind of the difference between the
Speaker 2: two situations. But yeah, we enjoy playing on the same
Speaker 2: team and it's always a bit of a laugh. He's
Speaker 2: one of the guys that probably gets the most laughs
Speaker 2: out of all the players. He did to do some
Speaker 2: embarrassing things throughout his career, which always you know, makes
Speaker 2: the highlight reel or whatever it may be. And he's
Speaker 2: a heck of a player that's really blossomed over the
Speaker 2: last two or three years. It's been great to see him,
Speaker 2: you know, being formed throughout the year and be able
Speaker 2: to take that ownership of the first Rock and then
Speaker 2: you know, myself, you know, jumping in here and there
Speaker 2: as the second rock has been enjoyable too. And over
Speaker 2: the weekend it was I think that moment where I
Speaker 2: just picked him up off the ground we both had
Speaker 2: a bit of a laugh, was one I'll look back
Speaker 2: on throughout the year and just kind of think, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: like we've enjoyed our time together and we.
Speaker 1: Talk about the Big Boy fraternity, and you mentioned Phillip's
Speaker 1: last game not getting a chair right off the travesty
Speaker 1: that it was. There was a moment where you normally
Speaker 1: are the jack in the box on the mark, and
Speaker 1: I saw you go down for it and I called out.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, jack in the box, and then
Speaker 1: you in a brief moment of I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was, if it was just a moment of respect,
Speaker 1: you stood up from your jack in the box stance
Speaker 1: and stood the mark like a normal human being. Was
Speaker 1: that a mark of respect for the big fella in
Speaker 1: his last game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean like he's been an incredible player, has
Speaker 2: been at a few different clubs now and playing his
Speaker 2: last game of his career. And someone I met through
Speaker 2: the Hub kind of got to know him at probably
Speaker 2: the coffee curt line in the Hub, him and his
Speaker 2: family and staff, and he was such a genuine nice guy.
Speaker 2: And to see him in his last game playing against me,
Speaker 2: and I was we were up quite a bit at
Speaker 2: that point, you know, and he had got in the
Speaker 2: mark and was kicking for goal and I'm sitting there
Speaker 2: and after he kicked it, I was like, Shirlys, he's gone. Oh,
Speaker 2: I didn't have the legs for it. You know. No,
Speaker 2: it was one of those things you kind of have
Speaker 2: a bit of a laugh, and there is that big
Speaker 2: boy fraternity club, and you know, whenever we've kind of
Speaker 2: done the job, I guess in a sense of making
Speaker 2: sure that we got to win over the weekend, I
Speaker 2: just kind of wanted to feel good moment for him
Speaker 2: to be able to, you know, look at his last game,
Speaker 2: be like, oh I kicked to go on the last game,
Speaker 2: the whole team got around me kind of experience because
Speaker 2: he is he's such a guy that doesn't probably bring
Speaker 2: a ton of attention to himself. He kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: likes to play in the shadow somewhat and you know,
Speaker 2: it's not really one of those people it's asking for
Speaker 2: any kind of media or attention. So it would have
Speaker 2: been nice for him to be able to get that acknowledgement,
Speaker 2: and unfortunately he couldn't do it on the day. But
Speaker 2: you know, like we mentioned at the front end of this,
Speaker 2: it was nice for him to at least get the
Speaker 2: acknowledgement whenever he walked off the ground and have both
Speaker 2: teams line up for them to walk off.
Speaker 1: We will do a bit of a preview next week
Speaker 1: of all the games going ahead. Obviously there's the buy
Speaker 1: period before finals, which thank god there is Maye so
Speaker 1: otherwise you're stuck up there in Sydney. But give us
Speaker 1: a bit of an early preview of your thoughts of
Speaker 1: Collingwood Melbourne Day night at the G to open things up.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be good. They picked us earlier in the
Speaker 2: year at Queen's Birthday. It's it's a team I think
Speaker 2: that we're pretty pretty level with. It's a bit of
Speaker 2: back and forth, and you know, it's an incredible midfield
Speaker 2: they've got. We've got a pretty experienced midfield too, so
Speaker 2: it's gonna be an interesting battle in the middle. But
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think people will be looking at
Speaker 2: that game as one of the games of the week,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. And to Thursday night Footy MCG. I'm
Speaker 2: sure you'll bring a massive crowd obviously, as it always does.
Speaker 2: To have that home game. There would be an incredible
Speaker 2: atmosphere and I'm looking forward to It's gonna be a
Speaker 2: hell of the time. It's gonna be good fun. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna enjoy this week off. Brandon and we talked
Speaker 2: about what We look forward to this week and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna enjoy a break for football to let the body
Speaker 2: recover and get ready for a massive finals campaign, hopefully
Speaker 2: throughout September. But it's nice to chill out for a
Speaker 2: little bit, have a breath over a weekend of not
Speaker 2: having to play football and be able to get the body,
Speaker 2: get the body primed ready to go.
Speaker 1: I will say that i won't be having a nice
Speaker 1: break from football because I'll be diving straight into the
Speaker 1: a f l W. There's no rest for the week,
Speaker 1: straight back into it. I will say that I've things
Speaker 1: to look forward to. I've started the almighty rebuild that
Speaker 1: is my summer body. Hit the gym a couple of times,
Speaker 1: hit the weights, feeling sourer than ever. So it's good
Speaker 1: to be back in there. And it's just that sun
Speaker 1: that's starting to kick through. We're getting some eighteen and
Speaker 1: eighteen and sunnies. It's always good, Mace. I'm gonna bust
Speaker 1: out the barbecue and get those proteins in and it
Speaker 1: should be good. Looking forward to a big off season.
Speaker 1: I've already started iron off lights to go overseas. I've
Speaker 1: got to get my passport updated.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a you haven't do that early, bro, But
Speaker 2: it is the sun's coming out in Melbourne, which is
Speaker 2: always exciting, you know. It's you know, finals are around
Speaker 2: the corner of the sun starts peaking out. You almost
Speaker 2: hit twenty degrees and people start getting outside and you
Speaker 2: know from hibernation in the winter, and it's an exciting time.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you're still committing to the half marathon, Brodon,
Speaker 2: but I would love to see it still.
Speaker 1: I can do it easy. I thk it easy. I
Speaker 1: could do it back with I already.
Speaker 2: I'd pay for you to do that half marathon. I
Speaker 2: might run it with you, who knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do that. Let's go to I want to do
Speaker 1: the New York Marathon. That's all we got to get over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to qualify for that, Braiden. That's gonna
Speaker 2: take actual train.
Speaker 1: Do that. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: People that donate money, we'll do it, yeah.
Speaker 1: I said it. It's even better if I don't have
Speaker 1: to pay for it. What's the weather like up there
Speaker 1: in Sydney?
Speaker 2: It is beautiful. It is about eighteen degrees every single
Speaker 2: day and it's been nice. I think I actually got
Speaker 2: sun burnt yesterday, which is a feeling I haven't had
Speaker 2: in a long time. I got in the water, which
Speaker 2: was nice, hang out at the beach, went to Bondi Beach,
Speaker 2: had a had a little beverage there as you would,
Speaker 2: and and Jordy actually saved the seagulls life too. I
Speaker 2: was there, which is pretty wild.
Speaker 1: The seagulls life from one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, got stuck in this umbrella and then like
Speaker 2: the people there were like trying to help it get out.
Speaker 2: I mean I physically didn't really save the seagulls life.
Speaker 2: I just kind of watched them do it. But I'll
Speaker 2: take some time for it. I was stuck in an
Speaker 2: umbrella and it was entertaining what we're sitting there having
Speaker 2: drinks in front of Bondi, and I helped them out,
Speaker 2: you know. I helped zip the umbrella back up, and
Speaker 2: it was a wild scene over here. I've had some
Speaker 2: really weird stuff happened. I've even had a parrot named
Speaker 2: Caesar who's like, is this guy rolling around on a
Speaker 2: bike just stopping? He's like, are you you using that
Speaker 2: guy from Collingwood? And I was like, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think so, and then he I've got to get a
Speaker 2: photo with you in my parrot, Caesar. So then he
Speaker 2: throws this parrot on me and I'm sitting there like
Speaker 2: a pirate. Before I going for breakfast, take a photo
Speaker 2: of Caesar and no idea. So there's some wacky shit
Speaker 2: going on up here in Sydney. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: It's been an interesting a few days, but the weather's
Speaker 2: been beautiful and I've enjoyed it and it's been a
Speaker 2: great time.
Speaker 1: Well, it's good to know that you're you're known into state.
Speaker 1: You're not just a one state phenomenon. You're a big
Speaker 1: name dealer all around Australia, Mason. So it's good to hear.
Speaker 1: And as we said, we will do another big preview,
Speaker 1: big preview, and I reckon we get your best twenty
Speaker 1: two the Mason Cox all Australian. I was also thinking
Speaker 1: that we should do at the Best Phelic twenty two
Speaker 1: the Cocks twenty two Best Phelic Names best because we've
Speaker 1: got Mason Cox playing in the Rock. I'll be Braydon
Speaker 1: Cox can be the water Boy. But we got plenty
Speaker 1: of penile names out there that we can select for
Speaker 1: our best twenty two. Keen to get that up here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had Nick Cox playing on me on the weekend,
Speaker 2: so there's two cocks on each other. It's a bit
Speaker 2: of an awkward one.
Speaker 1: That was a two cocks planing out of the bucks.
Speaker 1: I saw you up there in the plane out of
Speaker 1: the squid. I didn't go unnoticed.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: Let's wrap her up.
Speaker 2: That's enough before things get too weird. Thanks everyone for listening,
