Speaker 1: Hey, let's just welcome back to the Mason Cox Show.
Speaker 1: Big episode today, we're gonna talk about the Collingwood Brisbane
Speaker 1: win over the weekend at one point thriller. We're gonna
Speaker 1: dissect that. We've got the free oh, and also the
Speaker 1: Carlton games and how big they were over the weekend.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a big, big, big watch on them
Speaker 1: this week to see who makes finals. And lastly, Dan
Speaker 1: Houston's bump, we're gonna talk about that because that is
Speaker 1: a big, big thing that's gonna happen this week for
Speaker 1: Port Adelaide. We're gonna see how that all shakes out.
Speaker 1: But without further ado, we're gonna get straight into this
Speaker 1: one starting now. All right, let's get straight into this podcast.
Speaker 1: A lot to cover here, and obviously is the tipping
Speaker 1: point of the season. There's only one game left in
Speaker 1: the regular season. Sorry, a lot to shake out still
Speaker 1: to go in this year. But without further ado, welcome
Speaker 1: brighton Mixed Feelings.
Speaker 2: Nice got the big win, but you know it's unless
Speaker 2: you can get a two hundred point ten or around
Speaker 2: between you and c Oh.
Speaker 1: You're saying there's a chair.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're slim chances over here if that doesn't happen
Speaker 2: getting on the drink anyway, we go straight into the clangers,
Speaker 2: because I have one that's an absolute no brainer this week,
Speaker 2: and for all reports, they're already leaning into the good
Speaker 2: guy stuff going into the tribunal. But Dan Houston absolutely
Speaker 2: and I don't want to I don't want to say
Speaker 2: something insensitive because there was a victim in all this,
Speaker 2: Isaac Rankin, taken from the field after a really bad concussion.
Speaker 2: But saying that just a just a brain pad by
Speaker 2: Dan Houston to really line him up. It was an
Speaker 2: old fashioned shirt front from yester year, absolutely locked up
Speaker 2: Isaac Rankin, which is something that you never want to see.
Speaker 2: Oddly enough, and this isn't Mike, this isn't Myke Clanger,
Speaker 2: but it was play on.
Speaker 3: They just played on.
Speaker 2: You got to bloke his You could see soul left
Speaker 2: his body and they're like, nah.
Speaker 3: Keep going, look keep going. Looked all right, mate.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm giving it to Dan Houston just because
Speaker 2: he may have cost himself final Yeah, like depending on
Speaker 2: what it's going to be. And we'll dissect the bump
Speaker 2: a little bit later in the pod. But you can't
Speaker 2: imagine that it's not a four plus weeker and yeah, wow,
Speaker 2: it's just that moment of just that little rush of
Speaker 2: blood and you've played your whole season to get to
Speaker 2: this point and you may have just thrown it all away.
Speaker 1: It'd be so frushing, especially after it happens. And a
Speaker 1: lot of times opposition will come up to you and
Speaker 1: let you know and'll be like, oh, that's six weeks
Speaker 1: on the sideline, mate, good luck enjoying the holiday.
Speaker 2: Have you done something in a game where you're like, shit,
Speaker 2: I'm probably in trouble for that. And how much are
Speaker 2: you in your own head in that moment? Are you
Speaker 2: thinking about contest to contest, next contest, forget that, or
Speaker 2: you're like, I'm going to miss a week. I'm going
Speaker 2: to I'm definitely missing a week. It's a big fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably thinking like, man, there goes that new TV. No,
Speaker 1: I've had that happen before. You've collected people high and
Speaker 1: I think I even did it once or actually like
Speaker 1: slide tackled someone's early days, you know, and it was
Speaker 1: like very obvious. It's like a yeah, soccer background kind
Speaker 1: of like took over in the brain. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: plays on your mind for about like two seconds and
Speaker 1: then like people will talk about it stuff, but you
Speaker 1: just kind of move on to the next contest and
Speaker 1: try not to think about it. And then you get
Speaker 1: to the point where you go back, you know, after
Speaker 1: the game and you get the text message, you know,
Speaker 1: a day later it's like, hey, shoot me a call,
Speaker 1: you know from one of the admin and you know
Speaker 1: it's about essentially how much you've been fined or essentially
Speaker 1: how much you've been suspended for. So that's never a
Speaker 1: fun little chat from the GM. But yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: part of footy.
Speaker 3: Well we know, they just take it from your bank
Speaker 3: account anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Christmas party you concussion research to we're
Speaker 1: calling up. But I'll go with Mike Clanger. Now, this
Speaker 1: one's an interesting one because there's an amazing human being.
Speaker 1: I've met him over the years and he's retiring this year.
Speaker 1: Dyson Heppel, who's just played for US in Football Club,
Speaker 1: one of the last ones who's gone through you know
Speaker 1: a lot of that early term oil that was going
Speaker 1: on at the club early in his career and he's
Speaker 1: one of the last people that's still left there that's
Speaker 1: gone through it. And it was just kind of sad.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a clanger, but it's almost just like
Speaker 1: a man, I feel bad for you, you know, like
Speaker 1: you wish it would have kind of you never end
Speaker 1: it on your own terms. It's a very you know,
Speaker 1: cliche thing to say, but you just wish someone who
Speaker 1: was such an icon at that club for so long
Speaker 1: was given a bit of that, you know, that farewell
Speaker 1: that he kind of could have done in a game.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately they are They didn't blame him over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, missed opportunity because the argument coming out of the
Speaker 2: club was obviously this they were still a chance for finals,
Speaker 2: so they wanted to feeld the best team possible.
Speaker 1: I can't understand that, you know, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And obviously we don't get to play team selectors.
Speaker 2: But otherwise i'd get a gig, especially at Essendon, I'd
Speaker 2: be walking wow. But yeah, clearly, in hindsight they go
Speaker 2: down by forty odd points, he wouldn't have made that difference.
Speaker 2: And if anything, you could argue that players play on
Speaker 2: emotions as much as like coaches and people like to
Speaker 2: think that they don't. They're human, and seeing Dyson run
Speaker 2: out for his last game definitely would have added some
Speaker 2: motivation to the occasion, so.
Speaker 3: It would have been good.
Speaker 2: But well I'm not here to pile on Essendon for
Speaker 2: a third week in a row. Actually, there's a whole
Speaker 2: segment down.
Speaker 1: Signed twenty twenty. Brother, Well, let's get into the results
Speaker 1: where we.
Speaker 2: Got We haven't even got up to Essendon yet we
Speaker 2: get through the results because Essendon to kick things off
Speaker 2: fifty nine to ninety eight going down to Sydney Gold
Speaker 2: Coast losing at home, so they're not even good there anymore.
Speaker 2: Against Melbourne GWS getting a win over Freo. Freo may
Speaker 2: have just dropped their season, but they were pretty you know.
Speaker 2: They fought to the death against GWS, who is turning
Speaker 2: into one hell of a team.
Speaker 3: Collingwood slim mister Margins against Brisbane.
Speaker 2: Great to see Port Adelaide got it done over Adelaide,
Speaker 2: but at what costs with that game because they almost
Speaker 2: burnt Adelaide to the ground. Saint Kilda got the job
Speaker 2: done over Geelong, which probably no one saw coming. Western
Speaker 2: Bulldogs absolutely murdered North and one player from Western Bulldogs
Speaker 2: outscored the entire North Melbourne team. Hawthorne got the job
Speaker 2: done and they were taking photos and doing memes and
Speaker 2: gifts and shit all game and then West Coast, Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I've never seen such a non competitive performance.
Speaker 1: So much hope, so much hope with Westcast. Dude, there's
Speaker 1: a chance Carlton.
Speaker 3: Got the win over there.
Speaker 2: But we did speak last week and this is in
Speaker 2: our talking points, how we do like the celebrations in
Speaker 2: the league, and you know, talking shit and it brings
Speaker 2: more eyeballs, more attention, it's fun, it's good to talk about.
Speaker 2: And there was a lot of celebrating, a lot of
Speaker 2: taunting going on in the game and in the lead
Speaker 2: up to the showdown. Obviously, Adelaide's season is done, but
Speaker 2: it's never done. When you can, you can hurt the
Speaker 2: rivals going into finals. So it was a fiery occasion
Speaker 2: and Joshua s. Shelley in the lead up on Adelaide
Speaker 2: Radio said that we all know Port Adelaide fans they
Speaker 2: don't really have any teeth. Started making fun of them
Speaker 2: for not having teeth, which is, you know, it's an
Speaker 2: age old insult, familiar.
Speaker 1: I've heard that point about our supporters.
Speaker 2: Collingwood fans get torn in for having no teeth, and
Speaker 2: then Port just needs to steal more shit from Collingwood.
Speaker 2: They stole the prison bar jumper. Now they're running with
Speaker 2: no teeth. That's Collingwood's thing.
Speaker 3: Leave them alone. But that really built up the game.
Speaker 2: You know, you said this, but the slightest thing about
Speaker 2: the stockyards like ten months before the season started, GWS
Speaker 2: held on to that. Now, how do you think they
Speaker 2: how do you think they handled this being told they
Speaker 2: had no teeth in the week of the game didn't
Speaker 2: go down too well. But Joshua Shelley did go back
Speaker 2: slot a goal, ran right up to the crowd and
Speaker 2: started pointing at his teeth and then pointing at the
Speaker 2: port fans in the out. Now, there's been a lot
Speaker 2: that's kind of bubbled over in this game. We saw
Speaker 2: Willie Reolly with one of the old times he kicked
Speaker 2: what was pretty much the seiler did the go to
Speaker 2: sleep and then wave to the crowd, which is it's
Speaker 2: always a good one because it gets them so fired up.
Speaker 2: But then we had the port Adelaide mascot was assaulted.
Speaker 2: Some of the players were female, don't it could have
Speaker 2: been a child lightning bolt somehow got and yeah, and
Speaker 2: then players which we obviously don't condone. Actually we would
Speaker 2: go as far to say as we condemn it, we're
Speaker 2: attacked on social media and all of that stuff. So
Speaker 2: it all spilled out. Now, that's a long build up
Speaker 2: to what I am going to pose as a simple question. Yes,
Speaker 2: do the players we talked about the players should be
Speaker 2: able to give it back as good as they get it.
Speaker 2: But do the players have some form of obligation to
Speaker 2: make sure it doesn't get out of hand and things
Speaker 2: can boil over? And we saw it in Adelaide on
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Dude, I don't know if you've ever seen malice at
Speaker 1: the Palace the NBA game. We're test on haymakers in
Speaker 1: the stands. We don't want that happening. If there's a
Speaker 1: place for it to happen, though, I think it's Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 1: If of all the stadiums are out there, I think
Speaker 1: there's probably I'm all cool with them. I think there
Speaker 1: needs to be like an understanding that like there's a
Speaker 1: you know, there is a boundary between the fan and
Speaker 1: the player. And yeah, I love this kind of like
Speaker 1: rev up and getting all the hype around the game,
Speaker 1: and so with the media, the media would be all
Speaker 1: over this and thinking like this is great headlines you know,
Speaker 1: this is great selling tickets to games and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And yeah, there's probably you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about like the racial racial vilification on social media.
Speaker 1: That's like just beyond understanding of why people do that.
Speaker 1: Just it does my head in And I think some
Speaker 1: of that kind of goes to the responsibility of some
Speaker 1: of the platforms also for being able to recognize that
Speaker 1: and being able to block people and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: you know, through certain words or whatever it may be
Speaker 1: that are kind of obvious, you know, racial vilification. But
Speaker 1: it's very to think to to tell your fans to
Speaker 1: not be extremely emotional and caught up in the in
Speaker 1: the moment, right, Yeah, I just don't think like obviously,
Speaker 1: footy and you know, sport in general can really bring
Speaker 1: out emotions and people and that's kind of the beauty
Speaker 1: of entertaining. But at the same time, I think it
Speaker 1: can bring out beautiful, positive emotions again bring out also
Speaker 1: the very worst in you. So I think there needs
Speaker 1: to be an understanding between the two that you know,
Speaker 1: you can't jump over the fence and go chase someone down.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, at the same point, I understand
Speaker 1: it as a it's an emotional game. So I'm four
Speaker 1: taunting and everything else. I'm four kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: creating fee headlines and have a bit of fun with
Speaker 1: it and stuff, and as long as there's that mutual
Speaker 1: respect between I guess players out after the game and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So you know, we've had it before,
Speaker 1: We've had all duck note dinner and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff and instead on Yeah, we've had a few
Speaker 1: things kind of and you know, it adds to it.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know, you might write that up on
Speaker 1: the board before the game, so you know this is
Speaker 1: a bit of extra motivation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it it makes the game that much better. And
Speaker 2: juicy port Adelaide. You know, post game they were posting
Speaker 2: photos of the Port Adelaide toothbrush on their socials and
Speaker 2: getting the players to hold it. Ollie Wines was pointing
Speaker 2: to his teeth saying that we have them or whatever.
Speaker 2: He was saying, it definitely adds the game. I kind
Speaker 2: of wonder I would like to see more club to
Speaker 2: club stuff, like the all duck no Dinner stuff was
Speaker 2: like club to club.
Speaker 3: I like that stuff.
Speaker 2: If you if you feel like you can handle potentially
Speaker 2: motivating the opposition by giving something for them to rally against.
Speaker 3: I think that's.
Speaker 2: Cool of you to be able to be like, bring
Speaker 2: your best, bring your best over. I do want to
Speaker 2: unpack a bit more of this Dan Houston bump, just
Speaker 2: because it was wild to see in the moment, obviously
Speaker 2: straight away. I don't know how it wasn't a free kick,
Speaker 2: but we'll park that because I don't know how a
Speaker 2: lot of things aren't free kicks at the moment. But
Speaker 2: just what did you have you seen the incident? What
Speaker 2: did you think of it? How do you see it
Speaker 2: being handled?
Speaker 3: From here?
Speaker 2: He's going to the tribunal. I feel like, just park
Speaker 2: this good bloke stuff. I hate that the good bloke
Speaker 2: stuff should even come into any on field incidents at all, like,
Speaker 2: because accidents get knocked like rubbed out for weeks. So like,
Speaker 2: obviously good blokes and bad blokes can have accidents. So like,
Speaker 2: I don't get the whole point of the argument, but
Speaker 2: on its merits seeing Houston come in from you know,
Speaker 2: ten meters off, run him down, shirt front him, he
Speaker 2: gets knocked out.
Speaker 3: How do you see the incident?
Speaker 1: We've said before, Ken Hinckley fans report Adelaide fans on
Speaker 1: this on this podcast but I'd be blown away if
Speaker 1: he's playing finals. Yeah, I think that would.
Speaker 3: Be five weeks max, so next week and then.
Speaker 1: Four finals until the top four.
Speaker 3: They could do three yeah, so four to five games.
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, I think, like obviously you see the concussion stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure there's a whole table and kind
Speaker 1: of like graph that can show you exactly what you know,
Speaker 1: depending on how high it is and tension also the
Speaker 1: stuff of how many weeks he can get. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think the way the AFL has been quite you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty consistent about you know, taking the maximum pilty with
Speaker 1: these kind of things. It'd be tough. They'll go through
Speaker 1: the hole. Like you said, the good guy, you know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a you know, that bad of a
Speaker 1: background over is. I'm not sure if he's had incidences
Speaker 1: in the past.
Speaker 2: It sucks and you never want to call for a
Speaker 2: player to get X amount of weeks. But like, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised anywhere from four through to eighth, Like,
Speaker 2: there would be nothing that surprises me out of it,
Speaker 2: because it's one of the most intentional ones that.
Speaker 3: I've seen in a fair while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've been seeing big suspensions there's no way
Speaker 2: this could get less than four, just given the fact
Speaker 2: I always go back to there's always the AFL always
Speaker 2: gets themselves in a predicament where they give one incident
Speaker 2: lower or higher than they should have, and then it
Speaker 2: sets the benchmark for the rest going going forward.
Speaker 3: Peter Wright, way back.
Speaker 2: At the start of the year Sydney game, it was
Speaker 2: that close to getting like a chess mark, but was
Speaker 2: like half second half second. If that was just off
Speaker 2: and can cust the player and got four weeks. Now
Speaker 2: if that footy action can get four weeks, and this
Speaker 2: is just lining up a bloke and kind of drilling,
Speaker 2: and yeah, I don't see it, but anyway, we wait.
Speaker 1: For the tribunal. Maybe you'll get in person, get one
Speaker 1: of those trips in person.
Speaker 3: There the.
Speaker 2: Soup kitchen handing out bread and ship like, just judge
Speaker 2: it on its merit, because that's another thing that opened
Speaker 2: up a can of worms. Is the good bloke defense,
Speaker 2: and now every bloke gets to have the good bloke defense.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Carton Law Charlie.
Speaker 2: Cameron got the good bloke defense and he's been done
Speaker 2: like twenty times for punching blokes off off the out
Speaker 2: the back of play anyway, I digress.
Speaker 3: We move into the big winners.
Speaker 2: Port Adelaide right up there with a massive when we've
Speaker 2: been dissecting it over Adelaide in the showdown, Zach. But
Speaker 2: as most touches ever in a showdown, forty two and
Speaker 2: a goal and they've won seven of their last day,
Speaker 2: they've got to be prime for this finalcy.
Speaker 1: I'd say that's pretty much inform. It's the definition of that.
Speaker 1: To get forty two in a show down against your
Speaker 1: arts rival at home, like just there'd be no better
Speaker 1: feelings like the last dagger, like, oh man, that's that's
Speaker 1: a great feeling. But yeah, Port adelaid the plane really well.
Speaker 1: Like you said, seven of the last day. They're one
Speaker 1: of those teams I think people looking out and saying
Speaker 1: maybe this is their year. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I haven't run the numbers, but it looks like Port
Speaker 2: are gonna verse GWS in the first semi or second
Speaker 2: semi however rolls out second, B third. They're probably the
Speaker 2: two most informed teams in the comfort the moment, and
Speaker 2: you know, first B fourth is probably oddly out of form.
Speaker 3: You got Geelong.
Speaker 2: If they end up like locking in that fourth spot,
Speaker 2: just lost killed. They just lost to the Saints who
Speaker 2: aren't making finals, and Sydney, we know how they've been
Speaker 2: traveling even on the weekend. Wasn't overly convincing. But GWS,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're flying and it's all off the
Speaker 2: back of you know, the main spear Jesse Hogan up forward,
Speaker 2: kicked another bag six goals four and it's their seventh
Speaker 2: consecutive win, which is an equal club record, and they've
Speaker 2: been up there for a fair while.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a pretty impressive what they're doing. I
Speaker 1: mean Fred was in the game for most of it,
Speaker 1: you know, and oh man, we were it was like
Speaker 1: on while we're kind of warming up, so you know,
Speaker 1: you're kind of looking up there because we're frei wins essentially,
Speaker 1: you know, we we were out of the final chance,
Speaker 1: so we were like checking in, kept checking in, and yeah,
Speaker 1: Jesse Hogan just kind of went off. Every single time
Speaker 1: you look up, you're like, oh, he's kicking no one,
Speaker 1: he's kicked another one. Yeah, they're they're in form. Man,
Speaker 1: they're killing it right now. So you look at these
Speaker 1: teams like, we'll talk about it after this, but like
Speaker 1: the Hawthorn Port ws THO are the teams that have
Speaker 1: had these wins kind of you know, one after another,
Speaker 1: and they're on this role and they've got this confidence
Speaker 1: and they've got this belief in their game plan whenever
Speaker 1: comes the finals to be pretty important to be able
Speaker 1: to have that in your back pocket.
Speaker 3: I still don't know how finals is going to roll out.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it's entertaining because the teams in there are
Speaker 2: you know, interstate or I'm going to say smaller supporter
Speaker 2: based tams. So I'm hoping for good footy if we
Speaker 2: can't get massive crowds, which we know finals you always
Speaker 2: get an upticking crowd, but just want good footy. We
Speaker 2: got Hawthorne first off the top. Will Day, super key
Speaker 2: to their team, got injured, but it looks like he's
Speaker 2: being cleared of a broken collar bone, so he's still
Speaker 2: a chance, which is great for the Hawks. They kicked
Speaker 2: nine straight in the first after Richmond did kick the
Speaker 2: first goal.
Speaker 1: Of the game, they were winning at one point they.
Speaker 2: Were in front four seconds and then he's the old
Speaker 2: dog Gunston.
Speaker 3: He's been in a bit of form kicking five after.
Speaker 2: You know, he's little jaunt up to Brisbane for a
Speaker 2: year that didn't really work and he came back home
Speaker 2: kick five. He's been going well. The kids are flying.
Speaker 2: Watson kick three, little fella up forward, did the cool celebrations,
Speaker 2: Kelsha Deer kick three, Gian Newcomb thirty three and one.
Speaker 2: He seems prime for finals. He's just like a hard
Speaker 2: nut in there getting the pill. But they're all so
Speaker 2: young and they're just filled with that confidence. Can that
Speaker 2: confidence get you through finals?
Speaker 1: It can definitely make I think of us in twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen we're similar to that, Like we're quite young, had
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence and the way we played not arrogant,
Speaker 1: but we definitely were kind of like, you know, we're
Speaker 1: a chance here, and like we're going to have, you know,
Speaker 1: a chance to get as anyone we go up again.
Speaker 1: So I feel like they're kind of like that at
Speaker 1: the moment. They've got these guys like Gunston. You look
Speaker 1: at him, He's kicked five goals over the weekend. He's
Speaker 1: one of the older guys at the club who's you know,
Speaker 1: it's good to see even the guys who are experienced
Speaker 1: to be playing at a high level still too, and
Speaker 1: you look at them, you go, okay, like anyone that
Speaker 1: goes up against them. We've talked about this is like
Speaker 1: going to be not looking past them, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: You go like this, we can't take them as the
Speaker 1: Hawthorn years ago where they're finishing eighteenth on the ladder
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. You know, they're a totally different
Speaker 1: team now. Everyone you know those two three years ago,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, man, like half one, just I just
Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to turn around, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. Then if you look
Speaker 1: at it now, they're making finals, they're in the top eight,
Speaker 1: and you're going, oh, like, we really maybe over kind
Speaker 1: of you know analyze this of saying like, oh, maybe
Speaker 1: they're too young, all this kind of stuff. And they've
Speaker 1: really turned around to really quickly to be able to say, okay,
Speaker 1: we're finals, finals ready now, which is crazy to think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot of commentary around teams that are,
Speaker 2: you know, the make up the bottom four of the
Speaker 2: top eight, and traditionally they haven't really gone on to
Speaker 2: win the flag. There's been Bulldogs who constantly seem to
Speaker 2: make a Grand Final from outside the top four. But
Speaker 2: I don't like people are still saying that about this year.
Speaker 2: I feel like some of them more in a couple
Speaker 2: at least Bulldogs and Hawthorne in red hot form more
Speaker 2: so than Sydney and Geelong for example. So I feel
Speaker 2: like anyone throughout the eight is a chance Carlton gets
Speaker 2: in there. You know, their fans can drag them across
Speaker 2: the line in the finals. Like there's so many variables
Speaker 2: in this final series. I hope it all just comes together.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Carlton, they went across the West Coast and
Speaker 2: there was a glimmer of hope, especially for Collingwood. They
Speaker 2: didn't have Sad Mackay, Martin Foggery, Kerno Boyd All went
Speaker 2: out in the last game away to West Coast. All
Speaker 2: they had to do is have a crack and they
Speaker 2: just couldn't get anything working for him. Patty Cripps obviously
Speaker 2: dragging them through another contest. Thirty five disposals, ten clearances.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty high percentage there.
Speaker 1: Mace important person to start a game.
Speaker 2: They did move Brody Kemp forward and he kicked four goals,
Speaker 2: so they found something in Brody Kemp. But yeah, they
Speaker 2: went over there and ended up just demolishing West Coast,
Speaker 2: which you know, it was probably there to be seen
Speaker 2: with everyone in the lead up for the week like
Speaker 2: Carlton were underdogs, like going into the game like West
Speaker 2: Coast still suck, like let's they're not great, Like they're
Speaker 2: down at the bottom of the ladder for a reason.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was probably shouldn't have been a surprise
Speaker 2: in the end that they could go over there and
Speaker 2: get the job done.
Speaker 3: But yeah, where do you see them?
Speaker 2: And they have to get some of these players back
Speaker 2: four finals otherwise you wouldn't think there are a chance
Speaker 2: against the top eight teams.
Speaker 1: Now you look at that, you know five or six
Speaker 1: guys are out, like you or if you're going to
Speaker 1: be winning finals, you definitely want to get at least
Speaker 1: a Macay corner and your ford line. So yeah, like
Speaker 1: there they're chance. I think if they went over the
Speaker 1: weekend and they can make finals and they'll take free
Speaker 1: or spot. But it's it's one of those things you
Speaker 1: go man like you like, I want to be fit
Speaker 1: fire and have your best people playing, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be it's going to be an ask for them
Speaker 1: to be able to make a push in finals if
Speaker 1: they if they have those out but they do get
Speaker 1: is it. Tom Decon is gonna come back and want
Speaker 1: to say, so that will be a massive end for
Speaker 1: them to be able to put into the forward line
Speaker 1: and maybe, you know, be able to play one of
Speaker 1: those two roles of the big keys that are out
Speaker 1: at the moment. But yeah, they're I was just furious
Speaker 1: that they want over the weekend, you know, West Coast,
Speaker 1: let's go home. Yeah, I got to have a crack here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it just didn't work. It just a game.
Speaker 3: I just wanted it to be a game.
Speaker 2: But they just they couldn't hit a handb or they
Speaker 2: couldn't hit a kick. They kept missing.
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh, this is what it's like
Speaker 3: to be a West Coast fan this year.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: Uh, let's jump into the Western Bulldogs because talk about
Speaker 2: fun teams to watch. Although they are up and down,
Speaker 2: they're a bit more consistent at the moment. But they
Speaker 2: came out and absolutely the Sunday was not a very
Speaker 2: fun day to watch because there was three absolute demolitions.
Speaker 3: We talk about the Western Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a more potent forward line
Speaker 2: at the moment because Sam Darcy kicked seven goals over
Speaker 2: the weekend, which his father Luke Darcy's record of six,
Speaker 2: which has got a sting, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to sting a little bit. I want
Speaker 1: to like Coron humb goes, Dad sit there, you just
Speaker 1: go hey, can't just be no sign.
Speaker 2: No nothing from you today because he can never get
Speaker 2: it back, he can never looked, he can never get
Speaker 2: it back you.
Speaker 3: We'll see him next week playing you know, Div six.
Speaker 1: You're playing the chicer bro.
Speaker 2: You kick seven against moamma, but yeah, he kicks seven.
Speaker 2: So Sam Darcy outscored North Melbourne by himself, which is
Speaker 2: never fun when they wheel out that graphic.
Speaker 3: We've all been there stuck. But yeah, outside of.
Speaker 2: That, hug Hagen three weightmen two Norton too, Like that's
Speaker 2: a stack. They scored twenty goals for the game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're just hitting the hidden form at the right time
Speaker 2: of year. Obviously they've had a couple of stumbles, but
Speaker 2: they seem pretty consistent for the most But we'll get
Speaker 2: into the.
Speaker 3: Big losers because interesting interesting.
Speaker 2: I'll start with Geelong because they could have pretty much
Speaker 2: got themselves a home first final with the double chance.
Speaker 2: We all know, if you can finish in that top
Speaker 2: two spot, you're a pretty damn good chance to win
Speaker 2: win the final. Win or at least make the Grand Final,
Speaker 2: but they couldn't get it done because they dropped to
Speaker 2: Saint Kilda. Now they were doing well in the first
Speaker 2: half and then just fell off the face of the planet. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's because they had to travel
Speaker 2: back from Perth.
Speaker 3: Does that take it out of you on a.
Speaker 1: Short break sometimes? Yeah, you think you fly back, you
Speaker 1: have to fly back the next day. You can't fly
Speaker 1: back that night usually because you know the airport and stuff,
Speaker 1: or might catch a red eye. Yeah, travel to pro
Speaker 1: I don't envy those people at all. Do not envy
Speaker 1: Freeo or West Coast having to do that so often.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just in a recovery.
Speaker 2: I think anything used to it, like do you reckon
Speaker 2: Frio and West Coast ever, truly get used to it.
Speaker 1: I think they'd probably have a different schedule than other
Speaker 1: people in a sense of recovery. Like they probably whether
Speaker 1: it's like staying extra night or like you know, the
Speaker 1: next morning you get down to the sea baths or
Speaker 1: something like that and get in the water and do
Speaker 1: recovery and then get on the airplane or something along
Speaker 1: those lines. But yeah, they would have the experience in
Speaker 1: it you kind of you know, if you're traveling with
Speaker 1: them too, you're probably flying business. I think. I think
Speaker 1: that's in the afl CBA is for them to fly business. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they are getting looked after in that sense to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously you'd rather just not have to do it in general,
Speaker 1: but give them the fact that your four hours from Melbourne,
Speaker 1: three from Adelaide and another four probably from like Sydney
Speaker 1: and Gold Coast. Yeah, I wouldn't love going back and forth.
Speaker 1: When if I first got recruited, Like you know, Freemantle
Speaker 1: was one of the teams that was one of the
Speaker 1: big reasons I didn't go. I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be on a flight every other week. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think something that's always understated is like it's a
Speaker 2: nice novelty, Like for example, playing for Collingwood, when I
Speaker 2: used to travel with the team, it was like, oh,
Speaker 2: we travel four times a year, so it's a novelty
Speaker 2: to like stay in a hotel and like you get
Speaker 2: pretty damn sick of it when you're staying in there
Speaker 2: half the season.
Speaker 3: You miss out on if.
Speaker 2: You've got a partner, if you've got a kid, if
Speaker 2: you've got a family, all of that stuff that makes
Speaker 2: it harder than just the recovery alone. But anyway, we're
Speaker 2: not even talking about them. Let's jump back into the
Speaker 2: Geelong game. Because they were up by almost six goals
Speaker 2: at halftime and then they kicked five goals to thirteen
Speaker 2: and the second half, so Saint Kilda just got on
Speaker 2: a roll and it was hard to stop their momentum.
Speaker 2: Well evidently because they didn't. And yeah, the Saints fans,
Speaker 2: although you know they're not gonna make finals, they've showed
Speaker 2: up and they really like threw some voice in there.
Speaker 3: It was great to hear.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they may have cost themselves a home final.
Speaker 2: They'll probably get a top four because they have West
Speaker 2: Coast in Geelong. Speaking about big travel, that's as big
Speaker 2: as she gets. So they'll probably get a top four.
Speaker 2: But whether it's the top two, it's probably unlikely. But
Speaker 2: we'll wait to see what happens with the results.
Speaker 1: Croas Saint Kilda, they've had a few scalps over the year.
Speaker 1: They might not be in the top eight. And I've
Speaker 1: kind of been out out of the you know, the
Speaker 1: hunt for that for a while. But I feel like
Speaker 1: for some reason they bobbed up here and there and
Speaker 1: just kind of like, yeah, stuck it to people whenever
Speaker 1: they probably didn't expect it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's a double edged sword for like Saint
Speaker 2: Kilda fans because they would be like, it's great that
Speaker 2: they're getting some good wins now, but they've kind of
Speaker 2: done this historically where they're like, win some good games
Speaker 2: in the run home, not make finals and not do
Speaker 2: damage in finals type stuff. It's like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: we'll see how they go next year, but they are,
Speaker 2: you know, a speed bump to a lot of these
Speaker 2: teams in the run to finals. Free.
Speaker 3: Oh this is They're so disappointing to me because this
Speaker 3: is rough.
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago they were going for top
Speaker 2: two and then they dropped the game to Essenon after
Speaker 2: having the five goal lead here in Melbourne, and then
Speaker 2: went home and lost to Geelong, who just lost to
Speaker 2: Saint Kilda. It's one of those, you know, the swings
Speaker 2: and roundabouts, but I feel like they've just dropped their season.
Speaker 3: Now they have to rely on a result.
Speaker 2: They've got to get Carlton to lose to Saints and
Speaker 2: then they have to beat Port at home, whose Port's
Speaker 2: you know, not an easy beat heading into finals there
Speaker 2: in the top four at the moment, so they should
Speaker 2: have probably been close to top four if they would
Speaker 2: have been in the top four right now, if they
Speaker 2: had to won those two games alone, and now they're
Speaker 2: sitting in ninth.
Speaker 1: You'd be frustrated as a real supporter. I feel like
Speaker 1: last week was they were a top four easy and
Speaker 1: then now you're sitting there and they go two losses
Speaker 1: and then these other teams come up and just pip
Speaker 1: them at the last moment. Gosh, that's going to be rough.
Speaker 1: And you got port at Port Adelaide, like Adelaide in Perth.
Speaker 1: Per sorry yeah in Perth, and yude, like to have
Speaker 1: to do that and like you don't even know if
Speaker 1: that's going to be able to get your cross the
Speaker 1: line yea, yeah, it could just be like nothing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to be frustrating. Like to get to the
Speaker 1: end of the year have like I felt like we
Speaker 1: can't like hype them up on oh they're successful. You
Speaker 1: know they're going to make the eight. They're going to
Speaker 1: make the eight all year are We kind of been
Speaker 1: saying this and it was almost like in my mind
Speaker 1: like a lock that they were going to make finals
Speaker 1: and now we're sitting here and I'm going they're actually
Speaker 1: not like they're probably just going to mess out Like
Speaker 1: it's it's insane to think, like my mind doesn't comprehend
Speaker 1: it because I've just been so convinced that they're a
Speaker 1: Type eighteen.
Speaker 3: It's just so easy to slide with how tired it was.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's real unfortunate.
Speaker 2: But hopefully that last game is alive because that'll be
Speaker 2: amazing to watch.
Speaker 1: That'll be great to watch. Oh, it'd be so good
Speaker 1: to watch.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into Essenon ready to pile one because I
Speaker 2: don't know, we've had some support from Essendon fans. They
Speaker 2: feel like where you know, the mouthpiece for their supporter
Speaker 2: base at the moment, because it would be very, very
Speaker 2: frustrating to be an Essendon supporter, not only this year
Speaker 2: but for the past twenty odd years. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 2: they absolutely dominated the first half of this smash smash
Speaker 2: like so much. They cut to the halftime and they
Speaker 2: went to the desk at fox Foot and the whole
Speaker 2: they were just saying they were dominating every number, every
Speaker 2: stat you could except for on the scoreboard. Second quarter,
Speaker 2: they kicked one goal, four after complete domination.
Speaker 3: Just to have that would be so frustrating.
Speaker 2: They kicked four goals from thirty six entries in the
Speaker 2: first half to Sydney's three goals from sixteen entries.
Speaker 3: They had an extra twenty entries.
Speaker 1: For a goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and then Sydney eventually, because Sydney was close
Speaker 2: enough on the scoreboard, you kick one or two and
Speaker 2: then you get momentum and then they're on fire. Once
Speaker 2: Sydney's on fire, they're away. So just another lost opportunity.
Speaker 2: They got the big win over Frio, which could have
Speaker 2: set their seasonal line.
Speaker 1: And then also that Sam Draper played really well. I
Speaker 1: watched the first half there and he was absolutely killing
Speaker 1: it and he was how of that's shining light, and like,
Speaker 1: you know what was quite frustrating because the you know,
Speaker 1: the rewards weren't showing on the scoreboard, and you know,
Speaker 1: Swan's essentially finished their chances, and like Asidin just kept
Speaker 1: going and kept going in and I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: you should be this game should be over almost, but
Speaker 1: now well I can he just sit there And I
Speaker 1: remember going into that halftime thinking, like whenever I was
Speaker 1: watching it, going Sydney if they get one or two
Speaker 1: goals in a row, they'll just go and take this
Speaker 1: and there's no chance essen it's going to be they'll
Speaker 1: just go far out this as. You gotta be kidding me,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was sitting there last week with the Sydney
Speaker 2: Collingwood game, saying to my housemate, like Sydney is that team.
Speaker 2: They can kick five in three minutes, Like they can
Speaker 2: just come alight, and they're so quick. If they win
Speaker 2: it from Santa clearance, it's straight out of the guards
Speaker 2: and you could have just tapped down to Warner. He
Speaker 2: can kick a goal from fifty like, they can turn
Speaker 2: overscore that quick, so it's never over. And even Chris
Speaker 2: Fagan posts his game said like when Collingwood was down
Speaker 2: by three, yeah, like three to five goal margins and
Speaker 2: nothing in footy anymore. No, No, like they can be Sydney. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they can be extinguished within minutes. So yeah, it's I
Speaker 2: feel like most fans sit on edge, whereas like a
Speaker 2: few years ago, you'd be like five goals last quarter,
Speaker 2: we're safe, it's golden.
Speaker 3: No team comes back from that.
Speaker 1: A little bit of this is like the way the
Speaker 1: umpiring is going now, like he saw in the Sydney game,
Speaker 1: like any out of bounds, you know, they kind of
Speaker 1: call it anything that they know essentially have to get
Speaker 1: the ball out, and it's like the fact that it's
Speaker 1: always live play like just kind of allows the ball
Speaker 1: to be able to get moved rather than you just
Speaker 1: going stop it, stoppage, stoppag stoppage, kill the clark, kill
Speaker 1: the clark, kill the clock. I think that change in
Speaker 1: the rules is actually allowed for these quick comebacks to
Speaker 1: actually happen, and you see them. Yeah, every week. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's at least one of the games it's
Speaker 1: like you know quick comeback at the end or you
Speaker 1: know a period where there's four or five goals that
Speaker 1: kicked in a row in a very small amount of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some great behind the goal vision of
Speaker 2: the difference in setups from Essendon with lack of kind
Speaker 2: of you know, experience and leadership compared to a Sydney
Speaker 2: who's been there, done that, and the way that they
Speaker 2: set up so quick there was a stoppage like on
Speaker 2: the wing and by the time picked up the ball
Speaker 2: and bounced it, that already rotated their matchups and got
Speaker 2: a spareman back to fill the hole, and it was like,
Speaker 2: just like they're just so organized. So you know, once
Speaker 2: they get into finals, they're slowly starting to get back
Speaker 2: into gear Sydney, so we'll see how they go.
Speaker 3: Gold Coast.
Speaker 2: Finally, I just wanted to finish on this one for you.
Speaker 2: They used to be good at home and they used
Speaker 2: to suck away. Then they started sucking at home, and
Speaker 2: then they got their win away. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what you'd rather. You probably want them to win at home,
Speaker 2: but at the moment they're not winning, and they're.
Speaker 1: Just the whole year with.
Speaker 3: They should be good, they should be coming good.
Speaker 1: For a little bit. You know. I was hyped up.
Speaker 1: It was our year. It was going to be finals, baby,
Speaker 1: and then I just couldn't went away, and then we
Speaker 1: decided once it was done, once we were out of there,
Speaker 1: were like, no, no, no, we'll prove the people you
Speaker 1: can do this. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was I feel like it's.
Speaker 2: If there's like die hard Gold Coast supporters out there,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure or now it's been like twelve years
Speaker 2: or whatever it's been, you would be very sick of
Speaker 2: hearing like there's a glimmer of hope there.
Speaker 3: The Suns on the horizon. Next year will be the year.
Speaker 2: But it feels like that they got dimmer, they got
Speaker 2: the facilities, they got the playing group.
Speaker 3: Now they just need to bloody win footy.
Speaker 1: I'll give it next year. Demo's finally out of his
Speaker 1: game plan and he's gonna get some of the coaches,
Speaker 1: he wants some of the players. He wants to put
Speaker 1: his stamp in the place, and that next year's are year.
Speaker 3: If it's not next year, If it's not next year,
Speaker 3: just moving to tazzy.
Speaker 2: Save a whole lot of admin, like just you know,
Speaker 2: uprout the facilities, chuck it on back one of them trucks,
Speaker 2: take it down, put it on the spirit of Tasmania,
Speaker 2: a cruise it across a few teams.
Speaker 1: I could think you could probably do that pretty well.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the Collingwood game. First of all, the comeback,
Speaker 2: three goals down, a few minutes left. Did you feel
Speaker 2: it in the stadium? Was it something that you were expecting?
Speaker 2: Did you feel the mo mentum shift? Had the game
Speaker 2: unravel out on the field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went down quite early, which was frustrating to
Speaker 1: have that happen. But then I think there's like that
Speaker 1: second quarter like Nick had a fear. Nick was just
Speaker 1: a freak. In the second quarter, touches two goals, absurd.
Speaker 1: Just I was sitting there. I remember he had done
Speaker 1: the running goal of the bounce and he just kind
Speaker 1: of centially ran fifty meters and like bounced it four
Speaker 1: times and then kicks a goal around and I'm just
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm like watching this happen. I just
Speaker 1: went up to him after and I just looked to
Speaker 1: my go, you're a freak. You're an absolute freak, Like
Speaker 1: I hope you know this. It just went straight back
Speaker 1: to my position. I was just like sitting there and
Speaker 1: all just go, like this kid just oh every time,
Speaker 1: you just you just never know what you're gonna get
Speaker 1: with them, and it's just always so impressive. But no,
Speaker 1: so we started not so well and then we kind
Speaker 1: of came back into the game and you get to
Speaker 1: the end and I think, like we've been able to
Speaker 1: manage those moments so well, and you always think there's
Speaker 1: a chance no matter what the score is. And we
Speaker 1: got to that a little bit and you know, we'd
Speaker 1: kind of gained a little bit of momentum and it's
Speaker 1: just that one spark and it was you know like
Speaker 1: that I was that quainter tackle or you talk about
Speaker 1: you know, shooter finally getting like a snap and getting
Speaker 1: the reward for effort and things like that just get
Speaker 1: everyone going. Then you've got the sixty thousand that go
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts, and then it just kind of piles on
Speaker 1: and compiles and compiles, and then you know that's whenever
Speaker 1: you get the other two goals and we go in
Speaker 1: front and go, holy smokes. Is a minute and a
Speaker 1: half and John Noble had a few important little you
Speaker 1: know moments in there, and then you know, a few
Speaker 1: tackles that were pretty impressive and gets the shot at
Speaker 1: goal with like forty seconds left. Essentially ice is it.
Speaker 1: So it was pretty wild. Is a wild scenario, very
Speaker 1: up and down game, but emotions were definitely high, that's
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good game of footy to watch
Speaker 2: because it felt, you know, danger signs early and it
Speaker 2: was just like, is Collinwood going to stay in the
Speaker 2: hunt for this?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or is there a breaking point for the season. But
Speaker 3: to your credit, you're stuck with it.
Speaker 2: It does help when Nick Dacos comes out and kicks two,
Speaker 2: has fourteen in the second there was a moment he
Speaker 2: was running to the bench and then you see him
Speaker 2: kind of stuff like.
Speaker 3: Exhale, and it was like Fla going like nah.
Speaker 2: Give back, which is I'd be like sports science, Shut
Speaker 2: the fucker, get him back out there.
Speaker 3: He's going to have twenty and kick six. But that
Speaker 3: was good to see.
Speaker 2: You did mention a shooter, so Lucky Shields came over
Speaker 2: from Frio has talked about, you know, dealing with the
Speaker 2: pressure of playing for Collingwood. There was a couple of
Speaker 2: moments earlier in the game. He missed a set shot
Speaker 2: that dropped short. He dropped the mark in the goal square.
Speaker 2: It could have been that moment where you know, the
Speaker 2: demons really set in. You're in front of sixty five
Speaker 2: thousand at the g the games on the line.
Speaker 3: But he comes through.
Speaker 2: He kicks two goals in a minute to essentially, you know,
Speaker 2: get the pies back in it before bo kick the winner. Like,
Speaker 2: how did the players kind of get around him? Do
Speaker 2: they know that he's going through that? How do you
Speaker 2: support like your teammate who has kind of said that
Speaker 2: he goes through these these kind of anxious periods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's never ideal obviously to be
Speaker 1: in that scenario where you've missed a few early but
Speaker 1: you got to kind of go to him and just
Speaker 1: be like, look, man, like, don't don't focus on that.
Speaker 1: Focus on the things that like make you an incredible players.
Speaker 1: Like he's a massive pressure player for us in the
Speaker 1: forward line, Like he sets up really well, he works
Speaker 1: really well with our tolls, like all those little things.
Speaker 1: If you kind of like focus on the small things
Speaker 1: you do really well, then the other things will. You'll
Speaker 1: gain confidence from that and then be able to kind
Speaker 1: of perform the big things also. So I think that's
Speaker 1: that's one thing. Like it's obviously it's tough to just
Speaker 1: sit there and mentally just it's a lot easier to
Speaker 1: say these kind of things, but in the moment to
Speaker 1: sit there and turn around be like Noah, now like
Speaker 1: I've missed one, but I'll kick the next two. Like
Speaker 1: that's a lot harder to kind of convince yourself sometimes
Speaker 1: in the moment. But yeah, like credit to him, man, Like,
Speaker 1: he's he worked through it and was able to kind
Speaker 1: of be a massive obviously push in the very end
Speaker 1: and get those two goals that you know led to
Speaker 1: a win. So as an athlete, it's it's hard. It's
Speaker 1: very hard. But I think if you have the support
Speaker 1: of the people around you just to remind you of
Speaker 1: important things that actually, you know, put you in a
Speaker 1: positive mindset, it makes a big difference to be able
Speaker 1: to hopefully turn that around.
Speaker 3: And it's good. Focus on the things you're good at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, control the controllables.
Speaker 3: So what are you good at? Because we saw you
Speaker 3: go back for two sets shots and boy, oh boy
Speaker 3: did they not make the distance? What was going through
Speaker 3: your head there? Because I saw you looking for the dish.
Speaker 1: I was looking for the dish. Yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: was the one that was like forty five out and
Speaker 1: I was like sitting there and I pull back and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, usually Brazzi comes up and he's screaming
Speaker 1: for the pill and sitting there waiting, sitting there waiting. Show.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll take this, okay. I think everyone's on
Speaker 1: the line going yeah, all right. So yeah, two such shots,
Speaker 1: both didn't make the distance, both pretty far out. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll work on it this week and hopefully have the
Speaker 1: wind at my back.
Speaker 2: I think silver lining is they don't go on the board,
Speaker 2: so you still still got that accuracies.
Speaker 3: You know, it's abound the fifty to fifty this year.
Speaker 2: But building on that big game next week, let's talk
Speaker 2: about the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1: Yeah, more than likely.
Speaker 2: If we're being if we're being irrational humans and not
Speaker 2: irrational Collingwood fans not making finals this year. What's the
Speaker 2: feeling have you? Have you said it out loud? Are
Speaker 2: you allowed to say that out loud? I?
Speaker 1: Or how to say that?
Speaker 2: Is it a premiership hangover? Why haven't you been able
Speaker 2: to get yourself back to finals? Or has it just
Speaker 2: been that competitive this year?
Speaker 1: Now? It has been. It's been a very even competition
Speaker 1: throughout the year. We've had two draws essentially you know,
Speaker 1: Roberts to four points you get one of those were
Speaker 1: essentially in the eight. It actually is kind of like
Speaker 1: crazy to.
Speaker 3: Think, well, with three I ended up screwing your boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty nice to think that, but like it's
Speaker 1: one point that changes the whole season, right, So you
Speaker 1: look back to those moments and you think, oh, man,
Speaker 1: just kind of the what ifs of the season. But
Speaker 1: I think there's like still a chance if there's like
Speaker 1: a two hundred point difference between us beaten Melbourne by
Speaker 1: one hundred and Carlton losing by one hundred or something
Speaker 1: like that. But yeah, no, I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: Premiership hanger by hangover by any means. You know, we
Speaker 1: had quite a few injuries throughout the year and there's
Speaker 1: no excuses. Obviously, we want to be in the top eight.
Speaker 1: We've got high standards to do that. But you know,
Speaker 1: i'd be I'd be lying to you to say that
Speaker 1: everything was extremely smooth sailing this year for us, and
Speaker 1: that's just kind of part of the experience, right, It's
Speaker 1: part of sport. It's not everything's going to go your way.
Speaker 1: And you know, has been a very even competition and
Speaker 1: you know, you almost got this, like you know, after
Speaker 1: the winning the Brisbane game, you're like, oh, okay, so
Speaker 1: like what's gonna happen. What's going to happen now for us?
Speaker 1: This is this, you know, and you're kind of going
Speaker 1: through all the different things in your head. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's obviously it's a there's still a glimmer of hope,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take a take a valiant effort, that's
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: Weirdsh shit has happened this year because it's been a
Speaker 2: very weird season and that's what i'd say, you know,
Speaker 2: following the club it it doesn't feel like a Premiership hangover.
Speaker 2: It doesn't even feel like it's a terrible season because
Speaker 2: the way that the season has rolled out, or you
Speaker 2: can see just by looking at the ladd how close
Speaker 2: it is from first through to thirteenth, and it was
Speaker 2: just one of those years where it has to line
Speaker 2: up perfectly for all the teams in all the right ways.
Speaker 2: A little slow start zero and three or whatever you
Speaker 2: guys started the season, and then like the dip in
Speaker 2: the middle, you guys were flying until you had a
Speaker 2: bunch of injuries in the middle of the year. And
Speaker 2: you know, every team almost outside of like Hawthorne have
Speaker 2: had like their fair share of injuries this year, and
Speaker 2: you can see just depending on what time of year
Speaker 2: that it's hit them, it's pretty much been the difference.
Speaker 2: And it's like, literally we're only talking one game across
Speaker 2: the season, that is the difference between so many of
Speaker 2: these teams from at least second through to thirteenth. It's
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. So it doesn't feel like that, it doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like a, oh, this has been a massive fall off.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you have the list right now
Speaker 2: to go again next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think we've definitely got the
Speaker 1: experience in there, and we've got that could kind of
Speaker 1: balance at the moment, I think with what's going on,
Speaker 1: and we just had a lot of guys that were
Speaker 1: quite important I think go down in certain moments throughout
Speaker 1: the year, and that's just kind of unfortunate. But I
Speaker 1: think we do have the list, man, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a massive difference between last year
Speaker 1: and this year's list as far as like names on it.
Speaker 1: So I don't think there should be a point where we,
Speaker 1: you know, go crazy and start making all these rash
Speaker 1: decisions and stuff. You know. I think we know that
Speaker 1: we have the people in there and the right people
Speaker 1: to be successful, and you know, we just have to
Speaker 1: make sure that we're doing the right things at the
Speaker 1: right time to be able to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you get you know, Tom Mitchell back,
Speaker 2: who's still I was surprise how young he is with
Speaker 2: that airline that he's got. He went the shave, he
Speaker 2: went the shave, he saved it. And then my well,
Speaker 2: his injury wasn't like a soft tissue. And then you
Speaker 2: got my check who did his Peck. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: like like a lot of these players just got unlucky.
Speaker 2: So you get them back out on the park, you
Speaker 2: get another year without Nathan Murphy, shure up that back line.
Speaker 2: Q got moved around and had some positive like stuff
Speaker 2: happen over the last couple of weeks, been able to
Speaker 2: get on the scoreboard. So yeah, I feel like and
Speaker 2: we never know who's going to come to Collingwood because
Speaker 2: one thing over this entire journey that never gets mentioned
Speaker 2: is like Collingwood is a destination club. It's always a
Speaker 2: destination club because it's one of the bigger clubs in
Speaker 2: the competition. But retaining players, they're very good at retaining players.
Speaker 2: They don't really see a lot of players turn over,
Speaker 2: no mass exodus, no players wanting to go home or
Speaker 2: somewhere else or you know, seek other opportunities. A lot
Speaker 2: of players that stay stay for the long haul. And
Speaker 2: I feel like that's never really talked about. So yeah,
Speaker 2: you're good at retaining players. And then that gives you
Speaker 2: the ability to top up. It's not you're not putting
Speaker 2: your finger in the hole as the boat's leaking. It's
Speaker 2: you just need a couple of little top ups and
Speaker 2: we'll see how we go. But let's jump into the
Speaker 2: preview for next week because is we'll just fly through
Speaker 2: this because we have your fan questions coming up, which
Speaker 2: is great. Melbourne Collingwood, big game at the G. It's
Speaker 2: you know, we need one hundred point win, no pressure,
Speaker 2: you could just go straight up.
Speaker 3: One hundred and ninety nine point win.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the goal, that's what we're shooting for.
Speaker 2: That So if if you don't kick a goal and
Speaker 2: a two hundred point win, there's something wrong. Obviously, Collingwood
Speaker 2: wins that one. Geelong West Coast GMHBA, that's.
Speaker 1: Have to walk past look.
Speaker 2: Long and if they don't win it, they do, they're
Speaker 2: going to have a short finals campaign.
Speaker 3: Richmond Gold Coast at the G.
Speaker 1: Gold Coast, Baby, we're on away team. All of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Now the name down the bottom of the ladder sees
Speaker 2: the light at the end of the tunnel and they
Speaker 2: can get up for the last game. So I'm going
Speaker 2: Richmond for that one. Hawthorne North, oh my god, it
Speaker 2: is in Lawncester though, yep.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go Hawks and move on from
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 3: Two home teams.
Speaker 2: Finally enough down in tazzyh Yeah, Hawthorne for sure, Brisbane
Speaker 2: essenon at the Gabba.
Speaker 1: Brisbane for sure. Easy, they come back and they get
Speaker 1: a win before they go into finals.
Speaker 2: I think I feel if they say, Dice, we're chucking
Speaker 2: you back in for the last game, I'd say, get stuffed.
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk here.
Speaker 2: Why would you fly up to Brisbane just to get
Speaker 2: absolutely massacred and then fly back unless they go, we'll
Speaker 2: get you a little Airbnb and you can stay out
Speaker 2: there in the sun as long as you want, mate.
Speaker 2: So Brisbane obviously to get that Sydney Adelaide at the SCG.
Speaker 1: Sydney, Oh, just Sittney on this one. I think it'll
Speaker 1: be closer than you probably would say. I've got a
Speaker 1: weird feeling about that one of all the games. I
Speaker 1: think like that's one that Adelaide, you know, will give
Speaker 1: a bit of a show, a little bit of scary factor.
Speaker 1: It might be for a quarter or two, but I
Speaker 1: think Sydney will go, oh my gosh, we're a bit
Speaker 1: closer than we want to be here.
Speaker 3: Got bad juju. Sydney really needs to be pumping them
Speaker 3: in that one. Leading into finals.
Speaker 2: They need like proper confidence because they are getting wins,
Speaker 2: but they're super shaky. I'll go Sydney over Adelaide there,
Speaker 2: Western Bulldogs GWS.
Speaker 1: Game of the round, yeah, very much so. The game
Speaker 1: of the round. It's going to be the two teams
Speaker 1: in form going against each other in a beautiful place
Speaker 1: called Ballarat.
Speaker 3: Why lip they put it out of Ballarat for the
Speaker 3: last round?
Speaker 1: What great question coming up with?
Speaker 3: That's wild?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't know the answer
Speaker 1: to that.
Speaker 3: But one of those ones is like, oh ship, we
Speaker 3: forgot Ballarat?
Speaker 1: Where are we going to fit that in the schedule?
Speaker 1: Last man?
Speaker 3: This one just being away and g w S win everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's a game of Jesse Hogan versus the toll four
Speaker 1: line of Western Bulldogs.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to go g w S.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go against you and say Western Bulldogs here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like it's a coin toss.
Speaker 1: It's going to be. That's the game of the round
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 3: But is it the game that you're most interested in?
Speaker 2: Because Carlton Saint Kilda, oh my goodness, I could never
Speaker 2: bury any harder Carlton say and killed it. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tip Carlton because I've got one of those
Speaker 2: weird people heads that is like if I tip saying
Speaker 2: so lose type.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously I'm hopefully tips and killed her
Speaker 1: by a thousand points. Yeah, that would be a good game. Obviously.
Speaker 1: It will keep ours on that over the weekend after
Speaker 1: we finish up ours and then the last one we'll
Speaker 1: go into Frio versus Port at Optis. Could will know
Speaker 1: their outcome before the game starts, I feel like, or
Speaker 1: at least during it, right.
Speaker 2: I reckon if they know pregame or however it works out,
Speaker 2: we should have got times out there, Like if they
Speaker 2: know that they can't make finals, do you reckon?
Speaker 3: That would really deflate them heading into that game.
Speaker 1: Man, I if I'm a freo like admin or something,
Speaker 1: it's like, shut off all the TVs. Should have all
Speaker 1: the phones, like, don't no matter what happens, just be like, guys,
Speaker 1: focus on winning the game, don't care about the rest
Speaker 1: of results. Is just finish on a good you know,
Speaker 1: a good feel at the of the year, and no
Speaker 1: matter what happens, and hopefully you know that the Carlton
Speaker 1: scene kill, the game goes their way. So I think
Speaker 1: that's the idea for them. I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: that's going to be a tough to beat port Adelaide.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm gonna have to go port Adelaide.
Speaker 1: It's going to beat Free over at Optics and it's
Speaker 1: going to be it's gonna be a tough time for
Speaker 1: Free our supporters. So if you know one, have a
Speaker 1: shutem a text.
Speaker 2: This week my housemates, Dave goes for Freo. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go for Freo just because I wanted all to work
Speaker 2: in the right order, So I'm going for Freo.
Speaker 3: Let's jump into the field. Do you have your cock lock?
Speaker 3: I'm going to go Brisbane vs and In at the
Speaker 3: GABA Massacre.
Speaker 1: Sydney versus Allie. I go Sydney at the SCG.
Speaker 2: You just said that you had a weird feeling feeling
Speaker 2: but locking it. We're jumping straight into your fan questions.
Speaker 2: This is by McLennon.
Speaker 3: What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about playing footy?
Speaker 1: Favorite thing is being able to play in front of
Speaker 1: big crowds with fear mates. That's pretty crazy to think,
Speaker 1: Like I've never experienced local footy, so like that this
Speaker 1: is all I know. So it's kind of called safe
Speaker 1: for you to go play local after does either? I
Speaker 1: think I'll be getting king hit left, right and center,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I don't think they called the draft.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you pay me enough, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: think of the craft the least favorite thing man probably
Speaker 1: like the surgeries and stuff like that can be quite
Speaker 1: isolating and having to get surgeries and the injuries and
Speaker 1: stuff they come with it. Obviously very heavy contact sport.
Speaker 3: That's very fair. This one by Omar eight or.
Speaker 1: Eighteen.
Speaker 3: Are you going to be at the mag place next year?
Speaker 3: You don'pe so?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I hope so I got a contract for it.
Speaker 1: So unless you, oh my eight no stuff that I
Speaker 1: don't know, please let me know it's a plan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Greg McRae.
Speaker 2: General questions, let's jump into them because this one from
Speaker 2: andy Ian Triple eight. What's your thoughts on post alone
Speaker 2: turning country.
Speaker 1: Man, he's actually from the same area that I'm from.
Speaker 1: He's like a fifteen minute driveway from my home home house,
Speaker 1: like my actually house I grew up in.
Speaker 3: It want to be weirder for you that he went rap?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weirder for me. They went rap. Being
Speaker 1: from Texas, I was kind of like okay, and like
Speaker 1: there's videos of him. If you ever get some free time,
Speaker 1: just go on YouTube and look up, like, you know,
Speaker 1: post Malone early days of high school. He's in like
Speaker 1: a leopard leotard like thing and he's dancing or something
Speaker 1: that's really weird, bad, but it's hilarious, and you're thinking,
Speaker 1: this guy turned into one of the most popular artists
Speaker 1: this world has at the moment. I'm off for it now.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Beyonce has gone country, post Malowa's
Speaker 1: going country. Who knows what's next. I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: So he being a Texas boy, it's great to see
Speaker 1: someone go to Texas, you know, Like Miley Cyrus is
Speaker 1: the same, right, Like she's like, you know, grew up
Speaker 1: in Nashville and she's you know, a pop star quote unquote,
Speaker 1: but I think her roots are country. So it's cool
Speaker 1: to see them kind of go through that phase and
Speaker 1: then come back.
Speaker 3: I've come way across the country. I'm all about country now.
Speaker 2: I don't know, don't ask me the guys and stuff,
Speaker 2: but like I like the songs. How I is gonna
Speaker 2: nice little.
Speaker 1: Songs that couldn't have been more generic. The songs of music.
Speaker 2: Brian, He's the gateway drug to the country music. This
Speaker 2: one from Finn Horton. He's got a couple. I think, Finn,
Speaker 2: what is a long term goal that you both have
Speaker 2: in life that you're working towards.
Speaker 1: Oh, Man, I think we're both trying to find a wife.
Speaker 1: That's probably the first thing.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I think there's obviously personal and career goals. Career goals
Speaker 1: last year was a massive one, winning the whole thing,
Speaker 1: and you know, now it's trying to do it again
Speaker 1: and trying to be your best version of yourself, and
Speaker 1: then after that, trying to really find what you love
Speaker 1: in life and what you really enjoy post football and
Speaker 1: really kind of enjoy that next phase. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of uncertainty of AFL players. You know what's next, and
Speaker 1: I do feel that you know at times, but hopefully
Speaker 1: once it all kind of finishes up, whenever that may be,
Speaker 1: you know, I can walk into something I'm super passionate
Speaker 1: about and love going into work every day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and me Rolling Media going to be the biggest
Speaker 2: podcast production company in the world. Let's go to the
Speaker 2: Harrison is going to be uh, I don't know. He'll
Speaker 2: probably stay in the same role and I'll just hire
Speaker 2: around him. But let's go to this last one by
Speaker 2: Deb mcmarcher. Mcmatcher, I'm going to say, how did.
Speaker 3: You boys meet?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's pretty I worked at the Collingwyn Football Club running
Speaker 2: the video department. Mace got drafted. First time we ever met,
Speaker 2: technically was over Skype.
Speaker 1: Zoom probably back from probably Skype. Actually that's that long ago.
Speaker 2: Zoom wasn't even a thing over Skype in from America. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 2: and it was pretty shambali. The Yeah, the interview, the
Speaker 2: internet dropped out, It deleted everything on our server.
Speaker 1: How good was it? Like trashy little star athletic or
Speaker 1: shirt that had.
Speaker 2: To have my name on the back and number seven
Speaker 2: we go nogs.
Speaker 3: But yeah, what ten years in there?
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy to think.
Speaker 3: I can't believe on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just going to move past that. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the next segment break Would you rather?
Speaker 2: Now, there's a there's a fair few creative would you
Speaker 2: rathers in? I don't want much thought before it, but
Speaker 2: you can, you know, dissect it afterwards. This one from
Speaker 2: Taran and George, What would you rather if the ball
Speaker 2: hits the post comes back?
Speaker 3: Into play. It's play on or are behind if it
Speaker 3: hits the goal post, obviously.
Speaker 1: I would love for it to be playing on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd love for it to. Like but even if it
Speaker 1: like goes through the goals and like skims the post,
Speaker 1: like that's still a goal as long as it crosses
Speaker 1: the line. I think that would be sick. It would
Speaker 1: just be kind of like add extra action and then
Speaker 1: like people would be you know, yeah, the players just
Speaker 1: like kind of turn off and imber. Someone's having a
Speaker 1: you know, set shot that's like thirty in or forty
Speaker 1: in or whatever. Yeah, I just feel like, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, now you have these players on edge of
Speaker 1: like or if it hits the post, got to be
Speaker 1: ready there to be able to try to Like, yeah
Speaker 1: you would, so I'm all forwards. Play on adds a
Speaker 1: bit of chaos to the game, which we always love.
Speaker 1: I like this one.
Speaker 3: It's another Finn Horton special. To win the Grand Final?
Speaker 2: Would you rather lay a massive chase down tackle or
Speaker 2: pump a goal home from the goal square?
Speaker 1: Oh Man.
Speaker 2: Sprinting towards the goal and here comes Mason like a
Speaker 2: gazelle running up on him like that sasquatch from what's
Speaker 2: the Adam Sandler happy Gila, that big sasquatch guy that's chasing.
Speaker 1: Mister Gilbour's jacket.
Speaker 2: Could you rather a chase down tackle or just pump
Speaker 2: it into the top tier and the whole cheers squads
Speaker 2: behind you?
Speaker 3: Is your double fist in it?
Speaker 2: Or whatever celebration you choose to go with, you hit
Speaker 2: them with the use the ship out of everyone? Would you?
Speaker 1: I'd rather? I think the chase down tackle because it
Speaker 1: would just be so iconic of how ridiculous myself chasing
Speaker 1: someone down in a big moment like that would be.
Speaker 1: And then also I think there's like that excitement of
Speaker 1: like everyone else sees it, but the person with the ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have that kind of like the quain
Speaker 3: or tackle, yes from the weekend, but it was you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a grand fun. It's just like
Speaker 1: all the hypotheticals that probably never happened. Yeah, I will
Speaker 1: chase down tagle both are great, obviously.
Speaker 3: But chase down.
Speaker 2: You remember the chase down? Yeah, people remember the heath
Speaker 2: Shaw smother. It's like it's different, But I if you
Speaker 2: could pair that with the next one, what would you rather?
Speaker 2: The thirty disposal game or three goals. Oh, I've kicked
Speaker 2: three goals in the game before. I've done that multiple times.
Speaker 1: And I don't what's your best?
Speaker 3: Five Queen's Birth.
Speaker 1: Five Queen's Birth I thank you. I don't think I've
Speaker 1: ever had a thirty disposal?
Speaker 3: What's your best twenty twenty one?
Speaker 1: No idea? I think it was maybe I think it
Speaker 1: or is it the Jebbouse last year? I think, or
Speaker 1: like Melbourne last year, maybe while DC was out. I
Speaker 1: think thirty disposals because you're just sitting there. There's one.
Speaker 1: I think I played Melbourne's a couple years ago. I
Speaker 1: was you just feeling it and you just start hitting
Speaker 1: inside forty five. It's just stuff you should never do.
Speaker 1: You know, as a ruckman, you just don't. That's not
Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse. But you just don't care. At that point.
Speaker 1: You just have the ultimate confidence. You're just like swinging
Speaker 1: for the fences.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 1: I think that's always good.
Speaker 2: I think marry that thirty disposal game with the chase
Speaker 2: down tackle in the Grand Final to win it.
Speaker 3: People would their heads would actually.
Speaker 1: The build statue, imagine.
Speaker 2: That your head would explode. You'd be like, what am
Speaker 2: I watching this mammoth? Dude running around out there just
Speaker 2: collecting pill What would you rather? This is a bit
Speaker 2: of a left field one. Steam come out of your
Speaker 2: ears every time you're mad, or every time you're excited
Speaker 2: your bark like a dog. Man, I can't imagine that
Speaker 2: every time you're excited, your bark like a dog's gonna
Speaker 2: do much justice for our hunt for a while.
Speaker 1: Key, imagine that does he have a tick or something
Speaker 1: that's I think it's steam cot on my ears when
Speaker 1: you're mad. But the problem with that is it would
Speaker 1: be every day. It would just be there's little things
Speaker 1: that just like infuriate me sometimes and you just start
Speaker 1: seeing a little bit of smoke coming out of my
Speaker 1: ears and be gone, Yeah, maybe I should just stay
Speaker 1: away from him for the next thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: I thought, though, does it light in the mood if
Speaker 2: you're like angry and then steam starts coming out?
Speaker 3: That's funny?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in my head, yeah, you think of the
Speaker 1: courtsoon going on.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into this one because it's the last one.
Speaker 2: I want you to rank these from best to worse
Speaker 2: there written on the screen here is it doesn't have
Speaker 2: that good a memory.
Speaker 3: This should be the concussion.
Speaker 1: We put them in bold to make it more obvious.
Speaker 2: Rank these shape flavors best to worse. So you got pizza, barbecue, cheddar,
Speaker 2: would you start strong, chicken crimpy, savory, cheese and bacon,
Speaker 2: nacho cheese, veggiemitte and cheese.
Speaker 3: So there your top eight.
Speaker 1: We're going to keep veggiemie cheese at the bottom. Sorry Australians,
Speaker 1: I have yet to be transferred over to that. We'll
Speaker 1: start back at the top. We'll go, yeah, probably in
Speaker 1: that order. Pizza number one, yeah, barbecue second, which I
Speaker 1: find it weird that pizza is a flavor for chips.
Speaker 1: It's just it's still I mean, like what, there's so
Speaker 1: many different types of pizza.
Speaker 2: If they didn't tell you what flavor it was, if
Speaker 2: they just handed you the box. For the first time ever,
Speaker 2: I said, hey, we're making these biscuits. They called their biscuits. Technically,
Speaker 2: I guess if they hand you these box of biscuits
Speaker 2: and told you to name it a flavor, would you
Speaker 2: say pizza?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Probably not. It's one of those weird I mean, like
Speaker 1: chicken crimpy, like what.
Speaker 3: I the only one that tastes like che cheese.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's a questionable cheese because it kind of
Speaker 1: tastes like it's out the canal. It's a cheese powder.
Speaker 1: We go back to it. Sorry, we've got pizza barbecue.
Speaker 1: I go probably cheese, yes and bacon. Yeah, I like that,
Speaker 1: to Cheddar to savory chicken crimpy. Wait, hold on, I
Speaker 1: forgot notch cheese, putting notcho cheese back up to like
Speaker 1: four moved out. So we go from chicken crimpy and
Speaker 1: then the only one that left is really veggimi and cheese, pizza, barbecue,
Speaker 1: cheese and bacon, Cheddar, savory nacho cheese, Chicken crimpy, Veggiemi
Speaker 1: and cheese.
Speaker 3: I think I have changed to something I've like grown.
Speaker 1: I think your palett's refined now.
Speaker 2: Bacon it's probably my fae really yeah, and then pizza
Speaker 2: barbecue cheddar. Oh no, yeah, I forget the nacho cheese too.
Speaker 2: Cheese cheese probably above cheddar. Yeah, I like veggimine and
Speaker 2: cheese anyway, Chicken crimpy and savory like down the bottom.
Speaker 2: I just don't like the biscuit is a lot more fluffy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 2: But if you don't have a drink, Heaven help you
Speaker 2: death play Chicken crimpy cinnamon.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's all the questions you have. Thanks for sending
Speaker 3: those into the instagramat.
Speaker 1: No, that's good. It's always good to have a bit
Speaker 1: of a fan question and get back to the community.
Speaker 2: Remember we cracked the tin last was the last year
Speaker 2: we were sitting in the van? Yeah, no, it must
Speaker 2: have been the year before. We probably got drunk last
Speaker 2: time because you won the flag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in it. That was for a week
Speaker 1: of celebrations.
Speaker 2: But anyway, you know, if there's not a two hundred
Speaker 2: point swing, next we're cracking a tin.
Speaker 1: Oh good, you're gonna love that. But that is it
Speaker 1: for us today. Just massive thank you as always for
Speaker 1: tuning in. There's a bit to play out, Carlton Freer.
Speaker 1: We're going to keep a keen eye on you over
Speaker 1: the weekend, that's for sure. And but that is it
Speaker 1: from us. Thank you so much for tuning in FOLLO
