We're gonna 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.040 dissect that. We've got the free oh, and also the 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.240 Carlton games and how big they were over the weekend. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.280 We're gonna have a big, big, big watch on them 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.600 this week to see who makes finals. And lastly, Dan 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.880 Houston's bump, we're gonna talk about that because that is 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.080 a big, big thing that's gonna happen this week for 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.040 Port Adelaide. We're gonna see how that all shakes out. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.400 But without further ado, we're gonna get straight into this 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:42.639 one starting now. All right, let's get straight into this podcast. 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.920 A lot to cover here, and obviously is the tipping 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.040 point of the season. There's only one game left in 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.120 the regular season. Sorry, a lot to shake out still 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.880 to go in this year. But without further ado, welcome 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.080 brighton Mixed Feelings. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.640 Nice got the big win, but you know it's unless 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.240 you can get a two hundred point ten or around 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.639 between you and c Oh. 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:03.640 You're saying there's a chair. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.240 Oh, we're slim chances over here if that doesn't happen 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.560 getting on the drink anyway, we go straight into the clangers, 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.039 because I have one that's an absolute no brainer this week, 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.399 and for all reports, they're already leaning into the good 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:24.400 guy stuff going into the tribunal. But Dan Houston absolutely 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.680 and I don't want to I don't want to say 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.440 something insensitive because there was a victim in all this, 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.119 Isaac Rankin, taken from the field after a really bad concussion. 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.720 But saying that just a just a brain pad by 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.080 Dan Houston to really line him up. It was an 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:45.520 old fashioned shirt front from yester year, absolutely locked up 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.040 Isaac Rankin, which is something that you never want to see. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.760 Oddly enough, and this isn't Mike, this isn't Myke Clanger, 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:56.600 but it was play on. 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:57.760 They just played on. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.640 You got to bloke his You could see soul left 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:01.880 his body and they're like, nah. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.160 Keep going, look keep going. Looked all right, mate. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.280 But yeah, I'm giving it to Dan Houston just because 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.480 he may have cost himself final Yeah, like depending on 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.360 what it's going to be. And we'll dissect the bump 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.360 a little bit later in the pod. But you can't 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.960 imagine that it's not a four plus weeker and yeah, wow, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.000 it's just that moment of just that little rush of 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.160 blood and you've played your whole season to get to 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.760 this point and you may have just thrown it all away. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.120 It'd be so frushing, especially after it happens. And a 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.600 lot of times opposition will come up to you and 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.119 let you know and'll be like, oh, that's six weeks 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.000 on the sideline, mate, good luck enjoying the holiday. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.040 Have you done something in a game where you're like, shit, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.880 I'm probably in trouble for that. And how much are 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.880 you in your own head in that moment? Are you 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.360 thinking about contest to contest, next contest, forget that, or 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.400 you're like, I'm going to miss a week. I'm going 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.800 to I'm definitely missing a week. It's a big fine. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:05.359 Yeah, you're probably thinking like, man, there goes that new TV. No, 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.960 I've had that happen before. You've collected people high and 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.520 I think I even did it once or actually like 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.040 slide tackled someone's early days, you know, and it was 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.800 like very obvious. It's like a yeah, soccer background kind 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.800 of like took over in the brain. But yeah, it 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.760 plays on your mind for about like two seconds and 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.239 then like people will talk about it stuff, but you 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.560 just kind of move on to the next contest and 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.360 try not to think about it. And then you get 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.280 to the point where you go back, you know, after 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.520 the game and you get the text message, you know, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.040 a day later it's like, hey, shoot me a call, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.960 you know from one of the admin and you know 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.240 it's about essentially how much you've been fined or essentially 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.000 how much you've been suspended for. So that's never a 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.360 fun little chat from the GM. But yeah, it's all 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:41.920 part of footy. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.560 Well we know, they just take it from your bank 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:44.240 account anyway. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.440 Yeah, yeah, the Christmas party you concussion research to we're 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.800 calling up. But I'll go with Mike Clanger. Now, this 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.680 one's an interesting one because there's an amazing human being. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.200 I've met him over the years and he's retiring this year. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.400 Dyson Heppel, who's just played for US in Football Club, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.400 one of the last ones who's gone through you know 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.760 a lot of that early term oil that was going 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.400 on at the club early in his career and he's 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.200 one of the last people that's still left there that's 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.240 gone through it. And it was just kind of sad. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.280 I mean, it's a clanger, but it's almost just like 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.440 a man, I feel bad for you, you know, like 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.800 you wish it would have kind of you never end 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.680 it on your own terms. It's a very you know, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.279 cliche thing to say, but you just wish someone who 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.240 was such an icon at that club for so long 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.279 was given a bit of that, you know, that farewell 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.839 that he kind of could have done in a game. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.560 And unfortunately they are They didn't blame him over the weekend. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.400 Yeah, missed opportunity because the argument coming out of the 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.760 club was obviously this they were still a chance for finals, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.040 so they wanted to feeld the best team possible. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.680 I can't understand that, you know, but yeah, yeah. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.960 And obviously we don't get to play team selectors. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.279 But otherwise i'd get a gig, especially at Essendon, I'd 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.440 be walking wow. But yeah, clearly, in hindsight they go 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.599 down by forty odd points, he wouldn't have made that difference. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.479 And if anything, you could argue that players play on 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.760 emotions as much as like coaches and people like to 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.120 think that they don't. They're human, and seeing Dyson run 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.640 out for his last game definitely would have added some 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.520 motivation to the occasion, so. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.000 It would have been good. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.919 But well I'm not here to pile on Essendon for 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.840 a third week in a row. Actually, there's a whole 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:15.799 segment down. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.919 Signed twenty twenty. Brother, Well, let's get into the results 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:19.320 where we. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.320 Got We haven't even got up to Essendon yet we 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.839 get through the results because Essendon to kick things off 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.080 fifty nine to ninety eight going down to Sydney Gold 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.520 Coast losing at home, so they're not even good there anymore. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.920 Against Melbourne GWS getting a win over Freo. Freo may 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.800 have just dropped their season, but they were pretty you know. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.719 They fought to the death against GWS, who is turning 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:44.800 into one hell of a team. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.040 Collingwood slim mister Margins against Brisbane. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.920 Great to see Port Adelaide got it done over Adelaide, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.320 but at what costs with that game because they almost 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.760 burnt Adelaide to the ground. Saint Kilda got the job 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.680 done over Geelong, which probably no one saw coming. Western 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.960 Bulldogs absolutely murdered North and one player from Western Bulldogs 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.960 outscored the entire North Melbourne team. Hawthorne got the job 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.960 done and they were taking photos and doing memes and 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.560 gifts and shit all game and then West Coast, Oh 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.120 my god, I've never seen such a non competitive performance. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.240 So much hope, so much hope with Westcast. Dude, there's 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.880 a chance Carlton. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:26.400 Got the win over there. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.480 But we did speak last week and this is in 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.520 our talking points, how we do like the celebrations in 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.400 the league, and you know, talking shit and it brings 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.520 more eyeballs, more attention, it's fun, it's good to talk about. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.560 And there was a lot of celebrating, a lot of 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.800 taunting going on in the game and in the lead 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:51.240 up to the showdown. Obviously, Adelaide's season is done, but 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.800 it's never done. When you can, you can hurt the 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.680 rivals going into finals. So it was a fiery occasion 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.120 and Joshua s. Shelley in the lead up on Adelaide 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.680 Radio said that we all know Port Adelaide fans they 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.880 don't really have any teeth. Started making fun of them 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.480 for not having teeth, which is, you know, it's an 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.320 age old insult, familiar. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.080 I've heard that point about our supporters. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.840 Collingwood fans get torn in for having no teeth, and 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.720 then Port just needs to steal more shit from Collingwood. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.640 They stole the prison bar jumper. Now they're running with 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.600 no teeth. That's Collingwood's thing. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.120 Leave them alone. But that really built up the game. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.559 You know, you said this, but the slightest thing about 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:40.200 the stockyards like ten months before the season started, GWS 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.640 held on to that. Now, how do you think they 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.120 how do you think they handled this being told they 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.440 had no teeth in the week of the game didn't 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:53.080 go down too well. But Joshua Shelley did go back 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.120 slot a goal, ran right up to the crowd and 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.080 started pointing at his teeth and then pointing at the 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.880 port fans in the out. Now, there's been a lot 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.760 that's kind of bubbled over in this game. We saw 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.720 Willie Reolly with one of the old times he kicked 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.720 what was pretty much the seiler did the go to 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.680 sleep and then wave to the crowd, which is it's 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.160 always a good one because it gets them so fired up. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.840 But then we had the port Adelaide mascot was assaulted. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.920 Some of the players were female, don't it could have 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.600 been a child lightning bolt somehow got and yeah, and 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.960 then players which we obviously don't condone. Actually we would 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.079 go as far to say as we condemn it, we're 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.240 attacked on social media and all of that stuff. So 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.200 it all spilled out. Now, that's a long build up 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.840 to what I am going to pose as a simple question. Yes, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.880 do the players we talked about the players should be 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.480 able to give it back as good as they get it. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.880 But do the players have some form of obligation to 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.480 make sure it doesn't get out of hand and things 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.280 can boil over? And we saw it in Adelaide on 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:03.760 the weekend. 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.240 Dude, I don't know if you've ever seen malice at 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.280 the Palace the NBA game. We're test on haymakers in 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.319 the stands. We don't want that happening. If there's a 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.920 place for it to happen, though, I think it's Adelaide Oval. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.959 If of all the stadiums are out there, I think 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.040 there's probably I'm all cool with them. I think there 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.760 needs to be like an understanding that like there's a 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.800 you know, there is a boundary between the fan and 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.120 the player. And yeah, I love this kind of like 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.920 rev up and getting all the hype around the game, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.440 and so with the media, the media would be all 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.000 over this and thinking like this is great headlines you know, 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.959 this is great selling tickets to games and all that 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.560 kind of stuff. And yeah, there's probably you know, we 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.320 talked about like the racial racial vilification on social media. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.880 That's like just beyond understanding of why people do that. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.680 Just it does my head in And I think some 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.640 of that kind of goes to the responsibility of some 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.120 of the platforms also for being able to recognize that 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.160 and being able to block people and stuff like that, 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.600 you know, through certain words or whatever it may be 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.520 that are kind of obvious, you know, racial vilification. But 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.920 it's very to think to to tell your fans to 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.520 not be extremely emotional and caught up in the in 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.400 the moment, right, Yeah, I just don't think like obviously, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.040 footy and you know, sport in general can really bring 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.760 out emotions and people and that's kind of the beauty 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.240 of entertaining. But at the same time, I think it 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.679 can bring out beautiful, positive emotions again bring out also 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.760 the very worst in you. So I think there needs 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.520 to be an understanding between the two that you know, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.640 you can't jump over the fence and go chase someone down. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.559 It's like, you know, at the same point, I understand 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.960 it as a it's an emotional game. So I'm four 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.000 taunting and everything else. I'm four kind of like, you know, 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.640 creating fee headlines and have a bit of fun with 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.439 it and stuff, and as long as there's that mutual 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:43.000 respect between I guess players out after the game and 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.720 stuff like that. So you know, we've had it before, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.480 We've had all duck note dinner and all that kind 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.079 of stuff and instead on Yeah, we've had a few 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.920 things kind of and you know, it adds to it. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.559 And sometimes you know, you might write that up on 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.439 the board before the game, so you know this is 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:55.480 a bit of extra motivation. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.160 Yeah, it it makes the game that much better. And 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.000 juicy port Adelaide. You know, post game they were posting 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.800 photos of the Port Adelaide toothbrush on their socials and 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.000 getting the players to hold it. Ollie Wines was pointing 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.160 to his teeth saying that we have them or whatever. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.560 He was saying, it definitely adds the game. I kind 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.640 of wonder I would like to see more club to 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.560 club stuff, like the all duck no Dinner stuff was 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:23.360 like club to club. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.079 I like that stuff. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.640 If you if you feel like you can handle potentially 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.960 motivating the opposition by giving something for them to rally against. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:35.240 I think that's. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.680 Cool of you to be able to be like, bring 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.880 your best, bring your best over. I do want to 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.600 unpack a bit more of this Dan Houston bump, just 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.120 because it was wild to see in the moment, obviously 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.840 straight away. I don't know how it wasn't a free kick, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.200 but we'll park that because I don't know how a 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.120 lot of things aren't free kicks at the moment. But 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.120 just what did you have you seen the incident? What 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.960 did you think of it? How do you see it 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:03.760 being handled? 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.080 From here? 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.920 He's going to the tribunal. I feel like, just park 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.040 this good bloke stuff. I hate that the good bloke 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.680 stuff should even come into any on field incidents at all, like, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.680 because accidents get knocked like rubbed out for weeks. So like, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.960 obviously good blokes and bad blokes can have accidents. So like, 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.320 I don't get the whole point of the argument, but 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.160 on its merits seeing Houston come in from you know, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.839 ten meters off, run him down, shirt front him, he 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:34.720 gets knocked out. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.640 How do you see the incident? 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.440 We've said before, Ken Hinckley fans report Adelaide fans on 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.600 this on this podcast but I'd be blown away if 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.480 he's playing finals. Yeah, I think that would. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.160 Be five weeks max, so next week and then. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.760 Four finals until the top four. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.560 They could do three yeah, so four to five games. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.920 It's Yeah, I think, like obviously you see the concussion stuff, 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.120 and I'm not sure there's a whole table and kind 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.480 of like graph that can show you exactly what you know, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.079 depending on how high it is and tension also the 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.520 stuff of how many weeks he can get. Yeah, but 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.280 I think the way the AFL has been quite you know, yeah, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.360 pretty consistent about you know, taking the maximum pilty with 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.480 these kind of things. It'd be tough. They'll go through 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.040 the hole. Like you said, the good guy, you know, 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.480 it doesn't have a you know, that bad of a 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.520 background over is. I'm not sure if he's had incidences 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:26.080 in the past. 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.679 It sucks and you never want to call for a 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.240 player to get X amount of weeks. But like, I 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.320 wouldn't be surprised anywhere from four through to eighth, Like, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.760 there would be nothing that surprises me out of it, 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.040 because it's one of the most intentional ones that. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.600 I've seen in a fair while. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.000 Yeah, and we've been seeing big suspensions there's no way 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.920 this could get less than four, just given the fact 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.920 I always go back to there's always the AFL always 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.600 gets themselves in a predicament where they give one incident 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.679 lower or higher than they should have, and then it 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.800 sets the benchmark for the rest going going forward. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.600 Peter Wright, way back. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.520 At the start of the year Sydney game, it was 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.440 that close to getting like a chess mark, but was 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:13.360 like half second half second. If that was just off 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.160 and can cust the player and got four weeks. Now 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.640 if that footy action can get four weeks, and this 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.680 is just lining up a bloke and kind of drilling, 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.840 and yeah, I don't see it, but anyway, we wait. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.680 For the tribunal. Maybe you'll get in person, get one 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:27.840 of those trips in person. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:28.280 There the. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:36.560 Soup kitchen handing out bread and ship like, just judge 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.880 it on its merit, because that's another thing that opened 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.040 up a can of worms. Is the good bloke defense, 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.360 and now every bloke gets to have the good bloke defense. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.880 Hopefully Carton Law Charlie. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.080 Cameron got the good bloke defense and he's been done 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.440 like twenty times for punching blokes off off the out 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.760 the back of play anyway, I digress. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.560 We move into the big winners. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.520 Port Adelaide right up there with a massive when we've 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.520 been dissecting it over Adelaide in the showdown, Zach. But 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.720 as most touches ever in a showdown, forty two and 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.800 a goal and they've won seven of their last day, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.680 they've got to be prime for this finalcy. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.920 I'd say that's pretty much inform. It's the definition of that. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.160 To get forty two in a show down against your 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.760 arts rival at home, like just there'd be no better 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:24.480 feelings like the last dagger, like, oh man, that's that's 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.680 a great feeling. But yeah, Port adelaid the plane really well. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.600 Like you said, seven of the last day. They're one 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.240 of those teams I think people looking out and saying 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.520 maybe this is their year. Yeah. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.280 I haven't run the numbers, but it looks like Port 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.320 are gonna verse GWS in the first semi or second 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.560 semi however rolls out second, B third. They're probably the 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.440 two most informed teams in the comfort the moment, and 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.800 you know, first B fourth is probably oddly out of form. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:52.880 You got Geelong. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.840 If they end up like locking in that fourth spot, 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.680 just lost killed. They just lost to the Saints who 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.480 aren't making finals, and Sydney, we know how they've been 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:06.520 traveling even on the weekend. Wasn't overly convincing. But GWS, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.480 Oh my god, they're flying and it's all off the 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.640 back of you know, the main spear Jesse Hogan up forward, 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.640 kicked another bag six goals four and it's their seventh 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.360 consecutive win, which is an equal club record, and they've 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.040 been up there for a fair while. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.120 Yeah. Yeah, it's a pretty impressive what they're doing. I 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.400 mean Fred was in the game for most of it, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.240 you know, and oh man, we were it was like 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.200 on while we're kind of warming up, so you know, 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.200 you're kind of looking up there because we're frei wins essentially, 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:35.920 you know, we we were out of the final chance, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.760 so we were like checking in, kept checking in, and yeah, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.720 Jesse Hogan just kind of went off. Every single time 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.360 you look up, you're like, oh, he's kicking no one, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.600 he's kicked another one. Yeah, they're they're in form. Man, 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.960 they're killing it right now. So you look at these 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.680 teams like, we'll talk about it after this, but like 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.880 the Hawthorn Port ws THO are the teams that have 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.000 had these wins kind of you know, one after another, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:55.720 and they're on this role and they've got this confidence 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.240 and they've got this belief in their game plan whenever 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.080 comes the finals to be pretty important to be able 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.600 to have that in your back pocket. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.640 I still don't know how finals is going to roll out. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.320 I'm hoping it's entertaining because the teams in there are 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:13.000 you know, interstate or I'm going to say smaller supporter 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:17.720 based tams. So I'm hoping for good footy if we 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.640 can't get massive crowds, which we know finals you always 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.399 get an upticking crowd, but just want good footy. We 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:28.480 got Hawthorne first off the top. Will Day, super key 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.720 to their team, got injured, but it looks like he's 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.040 being cleared of a broken collar bone, so he's still 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.800 a chance, which is great for the Hawks. They kicked 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.760 nine straight in the first after Richmond did kick the 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:40.440 first goal. 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.920 Of the game, they were winning at one point they. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:49.000 Were in front four seconds and then he's the old 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:49.680 dog Gunston. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.960 He's been in a bit of form kicking five after. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.800 You know, he's little jaunt up to Brisbane for a 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.800 year that didn't really work and he came back home 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.439 kick five. He's been going well. The kids are flying. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:05.120 Watson kick three, little fella up forward, did the cool celebrations, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.480 Kelsha Deer kick three, Gian Newcomb thirty three and one. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.760 He seems prime for finals. He's just like a hard 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.679 nut in there getting the pill. But they're all so 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.639 young and they're just filled with that confidence. Can that 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.200 confidence get you through finals? 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.040 It can definitely make I think of us in twenty 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.280 eighteen we're similar to that, Like we're quite young, had 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.560 a lot of confidence and the way we played not arrogant, 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.400 but we definitely were kind of like, you know, we're 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.720 a chance here, and like we're going to have, you know, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.480 a chance to get as anyone we go up again. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.840 So I feel like they're kind of like that at 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.879 the moment. They've got these guys like Gunston. You look 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.040 at him, He's kicked five goals over the weekend. He's 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.000 one of the older guys at the club who's you know, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.159 it's good to see even the guys who are experienced 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.919 to be playing at a high level still too, and 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.720 you look at them, you go, okay, like anyone that 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.480 goes up against them. We've talked about this is like 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.960 going to be not looking past them, that's for sure. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.399 You go like this, we can't take them as the 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.000
