Speaker 1: Hey, legends, welcome back to the Mason cock Show. Big
Speaker 1: episode today. Your boy got in a scuffle with Richmond.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought n RAL went to Vegas. They
Speaker 1: got on the piss, I'm sure. And lastly, someone got
Speaker 1: hit in the head pretty high over the weekend. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that and much much more in this
Speaker 1: episode starting now. All right, Legends, welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Mason cock Show. We've got heaps of stuff to cover here,
Speaker 1: but without further Ado Brandon, welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, Mace, I want to get your opinion on something
Speaker 2: right off the top, because I think have you mentioned it?
Speaker 2: You're from America from memory?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes I am, yeah, yes, yes, I am
Speaker 1: in America.
Speaker 2: Now you know who's not from America. The AFL, they
Speaker 2: don't want a bar of it. But the NRL. They
Speaker 2: have just been to Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Veva, I
Speaker 2: guess baby. I want to get your feedback on everything
Speaker 2: about that. Because I tuned in they converted me well
Speaker 2: less so to the sport once the sport started. Ah,
Speaker 2: but before that, the build up, the the show, the extravaganza,
Speaker 2: the bright lights of Las Vegas. I was in so
Speaker 2: I was tuned in? Did you tune in? What did
Speaker 2: you think of the whole thing?
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of the game. I saw
Speaker 1: a lot of the pregame stuff, and then like them
Speaker 1: going over there and hamming it up and all the
Speaker 1: different like they did the fit checks before the game.
Speaker 1: They got to wear whatever they wanted. Take note, AFL,
Speaker 1: that'd be kind of cool. They got to do all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And I feel like the Vegas you know,
Speaker 1: I guess lifestyle very much matches what rugby people love,
Speaker 1: and that is a good damn party. So it was
Speaker 1: very well on brand for the interval to go to
Speaker 1: Vegas of all places in America. Yeah, and I love
Speaker 1: the show of it, the whole thing, from all the
Speaker 1: social media clips to them being over there early and
Speaker 1: doing all the different pr and media and getting Gronk
Speaker 1: involved and all these things that were happening. It was
Speaker 1: an incredible pr just experience for the NRL.
Speaker 2: Was it a missed opportunity for the AFL?
Speaker 1: What do you think? My answer was great. Now, I'm just.
Speaker 2: Trying to poke you, but I did, like, did you
Speaker 2: see the videos going in of like the you know,
Speaker 2: how they put the grass on the rollers and roll
Speaker 2: it into the stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just backed that up.
Speaker 2: And they still had the numbers on there and the
Speaker 2: logo from like the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, and
Speaker 2: they're standing in the spot going like this is where
Speaker 2: mahomes through the match winner. Like it was just cool.
Speaker 2: The vibe. It felt like a big game atmosphere, like
Speaker 2: a Marquee game. The desk on the field. I'm a
Speaker 2: fan of the broadcast stuff and that always just feels
Speaker 2: extra special when you've got the desk and the commentators
Speaker 2: down on the ground level. The grass looked mint, the deck,
Speaker 2: look they chewed that up. That's roll that out of
Speaker 2: the stadium and just throw it in the bin because
Speaker 2: it's done. What did you think from a, you know,
Speaker 2: a game perspective, the crowd came in that top tier
Speaker 2: little thin, but saying that NRL is kind of a
Speaker 2: bit thin when it's back here in Australia.
Speaker 1: I think their audience they wanted was forty thousand. I
Speaker 1: don't think they got that, but just to get like
Speaker 1: thousands of thousands of people to take notice of it
Speaker 1: in America obviously massive market over there. Rugby's becoming very
Speaker 1: big over there in that sense, so it was a
Speaker 1: great opportunity for them to be able to showcase I
Speaker 1: guess rugby outside of the country in America. So it
Speaker 1: was awesome because I mean I think of rugby right,
Speaker 1: Rugby is like bounds ahead of the AFL as far
Speaker 1: as acknowledgment and knowledge of it outside of this country.
Speaker 1: Like everyone goes, oh, you play AFL? Is that rugby?
Speaker 1: Is that rugby like? And everyone knows that, But a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to admit that because the
Speaker 1: AFL is not known outside of it. Everyone thinks we're rugby.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks that's what the league is. But I think
Speaker 1: these things that are happening over in America and around
Speaker 1: the world being more of an international game, I guess
Speaker 1: that's played definitely helps them in being able to get
Speaker 1: attention from more people and more eyes.
Speaker 2: Did you ever see that ad growing up there? I
Speaker 2: like to see that with like Evander Holyfield and who
Speaker 2: was a Carl Lewis. Carl Lewis the guy that runs
Speaker 2: real quick. Yeah, they were like they were showcasing in
Speaker 2: America and they're like guys that jump real high. I'd
Speaker 2: like to see that, and then they'd show highlights and stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I understand it. But there was a lot
Speaker 1: of like American NFL players and they were just like,
Speaker 1: I want fucking nothing to do with in Aral. These
Speaker 1: guys are trying to kill each other with our pads,
Speaker 1: and that's the that's the selling point, right like of
Speaker 1: AFL in ral anything like that. It's we're crazy Australians
Speaker 1: from a foreign land that just don't give a shit
Speaker 1: about our health and safety, and that's what people love
Speaker 1: in America, so you sell that side of it. I
Speaker 1: think they did pretty well. I'm jealous. I'm very jealous
Speaker 1: of what they did over there, and it's hopefully something
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll happen in my lifetime, but
Speaker 1: hopefully at some point we can play game over there
Speaker 1: and get their attention to AFL well deserves.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into something a bit more serious and we'll
Speaker 2: get on to this off the top of the podcast,
Speaker 2: because we had line we spoke about just last week
Speaker 2: of it, like this isn't that long ago preseason. You think,
Speaker 2: let's just ease into this bad boy, but no, Jimmy
Speaker 2: Webster massive incident comes out and almost takes Jay Simpkins's
Speaker 2: head clean off his shoulders. Really like it was one
Speaker 2: of those incidents. When I saw it, shocked called out
Speaker 2: to my house mate, you got to see this like crazy,
Speaker 2: and he's gobsmacked. It's you know, it's hard to fathom
Speaker 2: seeing this in the regular season, let alone in the preseason,
Speaker 2: let alone a week after you know, Power Pepper just
Speaker 2: got four weeks for his incident. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: We spoke about it last week and I said that
Speaker 2: I feel like the players are the last line of
Speaker 2: mitigating risk towards themselves because the AFL is doing what
Speaker 2: they can do, the clubs are doing what they can do,
Speaker 2: and then a couple of percent of AFL players are
Speaker 2: just going rogue out there. I don't know, what did
Speaker 2: you think when you first saw the incident? It looks
Speaker 2: pretty seriously, Oh.
Speaker 1: Dude, I was just like, you know, you see something
Speaker 1: like that happened, you're like, oh, geez, that's not good.
Speaker 1: That is not good in the It's kind of weird
Speaker 1: that like AFL kind of like put it up on
Speaker 1: their socials right away, like the hit and stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: like when there's something big like that happens, I feel
Speaker 1: like you almost need to maybe just like take a
Speaker 1: step back before you start posting that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: because it's not a great look for the league. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Webster has come out and you know he's admitted he did,
Speaker 1: you know, something that was wrong and as you would
Speaker 1: expect from himself in the club, it was not a
Speaker 1: good look at all. It was one of those things
Speaker 1: where he's left the ground, you know, jumped up and
Speaker 1: it didn't even look like he was really trying to
Speaker 1: smother it. He was going straight for bodies. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: not good and it was high. Like I think of,
Speaker 1: you know, different situations, it's similar, Like you look at
Speaker 1: the one Charlie Cameron in the Grand Final hitting Jeremy
Speaker 1: Howe goes for the body, gets the rib. There's things
Speaker 1: like that, and I reckon it'll actually be completely taken
Speaker 1: out of the game. I think the ifl if the
Speaker 1: ball leaves the foot and you hit someone like that,
Speaker 1: like there's to be some kind of you know, it's
Speaker 1: going to be probably a week or two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking at that and basing it off. You know,
Speaker 2: Sam pow Pepper hit there was only a week ago
Speaker 2: that got four. I'm seeing this. I don't think there
Speaker 2: would be an argument and normally there's you know, to
Speaker 2: and fro. In the comment section, it was pretty unanimous,
Speaker 2: like six to ten, like big penalty coming his way.
Speaker 2: Ross Lyon said, you know he's going to get what
Speaker 2: he gets, like so.
Speaker 1: Well, then everyone knows he's going to get suspended, and
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of how long.
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, this is you know, straight the tribunal.
Speaker 2: Plead your case, but there's not much of a case
Speaker 2: to plead because this feels like back in the day
Speaker 2: they used to give you the DVD of like things
Speaker 2: you can't do. This would be the prime example. Like
Speaker 2: I knew he wasn't going to get there in time,
Speaker 2: left the ground, contact with the head, severe contact leading
Speaker 2: to a concussion. It's it's cut and dry.
Speaker 1: All the workings to be a terrible experience for.
Speaker 2: Cut and dry in terms of a suspension, it's just
Speaker 2: a matter of how long. There was some interesting bye
Speaker 2: play after the fact where Jimmy Webster's family has got
Speaker 2: involved on social media. Now, obviously he can't control what
Speaker 2: his family has done, but being a player and being
Speaker 2: in many incidents both on the receiving and the givings, I'm.
Speaker 1: On the football field, don't get me wrong, Bred and
Speaker 1: I know it's a nice way of putting it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ever had to, you know, tell your family
Speaker 2: to rein it in or say just be careful because
Speaker 2: you know they're in the public eye too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I've been pretty open about my family and
Speaker 1: you know the relationship I have with them and bringing
Speaker 1: them along my AFL journey. They do have social media.
Speaker 1: Both my brothers, my mom and dad. I have social media.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things you want to
Speaker 1: protect them as much as you can, but you know
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to see things just as
Speaker 1: much as you can. My family, especially my mother, will
Speaker 1: will always send me a text message, you know, asking
Speaker 1: me how I'm doing, just randomly out of the blue,
Speaker 1: and I usually know what that means. That means someone's
Speaker 1: wrote a dirty article on me. Yea, So I try
Speaker 1: to have to google things pretty quickly after that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she sees it just as much as anyone else.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I understand like family wants to protect their own and
Speaker 1: and all that, but I think some of the comments
Speaker 1: after that, you got to probably just stay away from
Speaker 1: social media or it be Jimmy, the family, everyone else.
Speaker 1: I think it's best just to stay off it for
Speaker 1: a little bit, let the let the dust settle, and
Speaker 1: let everything kind of get sorted out. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've had the conversation with my family to to
Speaker 1: not kind of bite back at people. Obviously there's negative
Speaker 1: things and people that say things on the internet, but
Speaker 1: there's no benefit I feel like from family members get
Speaker 1: involved in my professional life in that sense in a
Speaker 1: negative way. And you got to think of it as
Speaker 1: like if you were a CEO of a company and
Speaker 1: then like you're someone sacksho and your mother's like, I
Speaker 1: hate you company, You're a terrible person. It's like that's
Speaker 1: not going to help you get a job at the
Speaker 1: next place. But say, it's one of those things you
Speaker 1: got to be aware of, you know, if you have
Speaker 1: a public eye in your professional life, like it's not
Speaker 1: only your responsibility but to the people you surround yourself's
Speaker 1: responsibility to make sure that they don't comment inappropriate things.
Speaker 2: The problem is, you can never beat the internet. No,
Speaker 2: you can never beat the Internet. You're never going to
Speaker 2: get them to go you know what valid point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that will never happen in this life. I guarantee you.
Speaker 2: Now you did jump on the internet, you're pretty good
Speaker 2: at these types of things. You jumped on X if
Speaker 2: you jumped on But I want to ask you in person, sinbin.
Speaker 2: You brought this up as a potential solution for some
Speaker 2: of these incidents. Do you believe there should be a
Speaker 2: sinbin in the AFL.
Speaker 1: I think there should be some version of a sin bin.
Speaker 1: Whether it is whether it is a sinbin or not,
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how they would kind of structure it,
Speaker 1: but I think there needs to be adjudication, not by
Speaker 1: the umpires on the field. They can call the free
Speaker 1: kick and everything else and say you know you're under
Speaker 1: report and all that, but I think there needs to
Speaker 1: be someone that's watching the vision up top in the
Speaker 1: arc or wherever that room is that they kind of
Speaker 1: make these decisions for goals and stuff and to decide
Speaker 1: whether or not a player it needs to be able
Speaker 1: to continue playing on. I think in local leagues you
Speaker 1: have like yellow cards and red cards and things like that.
Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense that in a professional standpoint, you can
Speaker 1: literally go out there punch ten people in the face
Speaker 1: and still play through the rest of the game is
Speaker 1: pretty wild. It's like the only game in the world
Speaker 1: that I know that that kind of exists, there's no
Speaker 1: you know, repercussions to doing something like that. You can
Speaker 1: still play the game out So I'm not really sure
Speaker 1: how it would be structured, but I do think there
Speaker 1: needs to be something where if someone literally gets in
Speaker 1: the fist fight, they shouldn't be able to play the
Speaker 1: rest of the game. Yeah, Like whether it means you
Speaker 1: have to take them off fully put your sub in,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I'm not sure. But it baffles me
Speaker 1: that the AFL doesn't have any kind of you know,
Speaker 1: punishment for doing an extremely dirty act on field, and
Speaker 1: just beyond Jimmy's thing, like just in general, it kind
Speaker 1: of blows my mind.
Speaker 2: It have to be a fair bit of restructuring around it.
Speaker 2: And yeah, but yeah, I could see it coming in.
Speaker 2: I could see it coming in pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Like the more the incidents like this happens two or zero,
Speaker 2: So if someone comes out next week and does it again,
Speaker 2: we got to get to a solution because we can't
Speaker 2: just keep you know, having these concussions out there. We
Speaker 2: will get into the Amy Community series, but I just
Speaker 2: want to bring up that name community series because obviously
Speaker 2: IFIL invested a lot of money, a billion dollars into
Speaker 2: growing the game, and we're heading up to New South
Speaker 2: Wales and we're going to Queensland, but we're no longer
Speaker 2: seemed to be going to Bendigo and Mildura and Aubrey
Speaker 2: and what happened to these?
Speaker 1: You mean playing the icon Park is not community?
Speaker 2: How the hell is a community series? I didn't say.
Speaker 1: They're playing in our arch rivals like Training Ground were.
Speaker 2: Not even played in July. They didn't even leave. I know,
Speaker 2: the country town. They're in the community. We're all in
Speaker 2: the community. Melbourne's Oh yeah, the mcg is in the community.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just thought it was it's a bit
Speaker 2: disappointing being a chooker boy on the day. He's a
Speaker 2: rochy boy. Yeah, you're from America, doesn't count. But I
Speaker 2: feel like we're never going there. But yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like missing out. I used to remember when Richo came
Speaker 2: down and kicked snags at the Moamma Oval and it
Speaker 2: was like froth and footy. That's gone now because we're
Speaker 2: playing down at icon Park, double headed, back to back.
Speaker 2: What's going on? So? I don't want to get you
Speaker 2: in trouble, but we need some answers.
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, I think we would love
Speaker 1: to go play in the community, and I think that's uh.
Speaker 1: We do spend time in the community. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: there is We've been to Moe this year. We've done
Speaker 1: community work out there and we brought the cup and
Speaker 1: then went down to Fish Creek and all these kind
Speaker 1: of places that are very much community. But I think
Speaker 1: the more we get into this, you know, we used
Speaker 1: to have like three preseason games and we had like
Speaker 1: the Nab Cup, and now we've got two preseason games.
Speaker 1: Really one preseason game we had a North Melbourne which
Speaker 1: was you know, not even televised. I guess it wasn't KO,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like proper Foxtel. And I think as
Speaker 1: the years go on, teams don't really value broadcasting a
Speaker 1: preseason game, like there's no reason to show your cards
Speaker 1: early in that sense in a preseason game, and they're
Speaker 1: more interested in doing scenario based stuff, whether it be
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, try to win the game
Speaker 1: with five minutes left, like they like being able to
Speaker 1: manipulate the time, manipulate the situation where if you're in
Speaker 1: broadcast and you're like over the weekend, we're playing Richmond,
Speaker 1: like we couldn't just stop the game, be like, hold on,
Speaker 1: we're going to do a scenario five minutes, we're going
Speaker 1: to have you up by six points. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: you down by six points. That doesn't exist. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what teams want to train and practice the most,
Speaker 1: is being able to do those situations and being able
Speaker 1: to manipulate the game. And whenever you're doing broadcast, you're
Speaker 1: contractually required to just play a regular game, and I
Speaker 1: don't think teams want to do that. They want to
Speaker 1: be able to do what a preseason game is meant for,
Speaker 1: which is train different situations and train different things that
Speaker 1: come in come up in a game. And I think
Speaker 1: the longer we go, the more it's going to turn
Speaker 1: into broadcast is not going to really be a thing
Speaker 1: of it, and it's just going to be, Hey, we're
Speaker 1: going to play two games in the preseason against whatever
Speaker 1: teams we match up in and we're going to have
Speaker 1: full control over what it's going to look like.
Speaker 2: It's that whole mentality you've got to give back to
Speaker 2: the game. And I feel like the schedules of the
Speaker 2: players have gotten tighter, the broadcasters have gotten tighter, so
Speaker 2: you lose that ability to just be like we're going
Speaker 2: to go play a game here and there and everywhere,
Speaker 2: and yeah, you're.
Speaker 1: Going to do broadcast. You got to set up a
Speaker 1: whole broadcasting experience in a very rural town. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not always the easiest thing to do, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: always look best on television. And we only really have
Speaker 1: one main camera. You don't have all the gadgets and
Speaker 1: widgets and everything else that go with I guess a
Speaker 1: game at Icon Park or game of the MCG or
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. It's such training ground or oval.
Speaker 2: We need to get to the bottom of that. We
Speaker 2: need to get back out in the community. Put a
Speaker 2: choker back on the calendar, getting out there. Let's jump
Speaker 2: into these games because they're not going to review themselves. Man,
Speaker 2: now put your game.
Speaker 1: Last, full review, actual games.
Speaker 2: Into the footage.
Speaker 1: Exciting. I've been I feel good.
Speaker 2: Chumping at the bit to get into it, because Jesus,
Speaker 2: it is hard to do a footy podcast Mace when
Speaker 2: there's no bloody footy on.
Speaker 1: So I actually enjoyed the fan question. Yeah, get into it.
Speaker 2: We digress. We'll put your game last, so we'll jump
Speaker 2: into Carlton Melbourne and boy Carlton fans, are you nervous
Speaker 2: or what because you had another bit of a stinker,
Speaker 2: So just put it out there. But Harry and Charlie
Speaker 2: kick three each, so you know they're on the board,
Speaker 2: which is good Melbourne. You know they're concerns with the
Speaker 2: mid forward connection. That look good. Clayton Oliver playing good foot.
Speaker 2: He's been selected for the start of the season, so
Speaker 2: they look out of the whole game. There's some positives
Speaker 2: gone twenty four disposals, two goals, thirty hitouts, Gorna.
Speaker 1: That is just that's delicious. If you're looking at super coach,
Speaker 1: you're going, yeah, I'll pick him number one.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't slow down. He just doesn't stop. I've
Speaker 2: never seen like a contest a contest and he's always
Speaker 2: out marking everyone.
Speaker 1: He's one of the best contested marks you'll ever see.
Speaker 1: Like it's actually so impressive. And he gets around the
Speaker 1: ground so well. And I'm like, for guy your size,
Speaker 1: you just have an incredible tank. I I don't know how.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he does in the off season
Speaker 1: to prep for it, but it is it's a he's
Speaker 1: a physical specimen.
Speaker 2: Well we know he's off the darts because he can't
Speaker 2: be running around taking marks like that if he's still
Speaker 2: sucking on the lung burst. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you're heading into the preseason, you're coming out. If
Speaker 2: your team's like zero and two in the preseason, you're
Speaker 2: right in it up our preseasons nothing, that's nothing. If
Speaker 2: your team's two and oer coming out of the preseason, jeez,
Speaker 2: wear little cat hot, right, So take it with a
Speaker 2: grain of salt. We head up to Sydney. We played
Speaker 2: in Newtown, Sydney v. Brizsy Brizzy got the chocolates. There's
Speaker 2: a fair bit that went down in this game. Snakes everywhere,
Speaker 2: small but deadly. We're talking about snake's bread and not
Speaker 2: something else. Now, I don't know if you could just
Speaker 2: look at one. You've been in Australia, you should be
Speaker 2: able to look at it and go, yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: red belly, brown snake. You just got to be able
Speaker 2: to was.
Speaker 1: It red and yellow? Killer fellow? You yellow on black?
Speaker 1: Don't worry jack or something like that. They all do
Speaker 1: not take that is actual factual information. People. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be playing for some getting bitten by poisonous
Speaker 1: snake and dye.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's a snake there. I don't worry. Make
Speaker 2: said something about brown Jacks something.
Speaker 1: Yellow and black. Didn't kill Jack. I know who he is,
Speaker 1: but somehow he doesn't get affected by poison.
Speaker 2: I think if you just go all snakes are bad. Yea,
Speaker 2: they agree, don't mess with them. They won't mess with you.
Speaker 2: But they did mess with this snake because it messed
Speaker 2: with the start of the game. So they called out
Speaker 2: that snake catch who must he must be on retainer
Speaker 2: for some of that big cash every time they come
Speaker 2: in to Newtown. I reckon, he just drops a snake
Speaker 2: out there. He needs count I oh, snake call that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then so snakes extreme heat lights couldn't crank on.
Speaker 1: It's a very good start to the It was.
Speaker 2: A shambles up there at Newtown. But unfortunately we wanted
Speaker 2: to see not only Brodie Grundy go out there and dominate,
Speaker 2: but we wanted to see Taylor Adams, who unfortunately lateral
Speaker 2: ligament strain three to four weeks, not you know, not
Speaker 2: the end of the season, which is good. We can
Speaker 2: take positives out of that. You don't want any injuries.
Speaker 2: You don't want knee injuries. But yeah, unfortunately little hiccup.
Speaker 2: Lucky we got round zero and we got extra rounds.
Speaker 2: He can come back. He'll still make That's pretty much
Speaker 2: the start of the season.
Speaker 1: I think he's what three to four weeks with what
Speaker 1: was a lateral ligament strain. The l ls ls on it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, now it's tough to see him go down. Obviously,
Speaker 1: new team. He's playing US in two weeks, which I'm
Speaker 1: sure he would have wanted to be part of that game,
Speaker 1: and now he's going to probably miss that. So I
Speaker 1: can imagine you feel for Tay like he's an incredible person.
Speaker 1: Gave a lot to our club obviously while he's there
Speaker 1: and was part of our leadership and everything else, and
Speaker 1: always have a soft spot for him. So wishing him
Speaker 1: all the best and recovery legend, and hopefully we see
Speaker 1: you back out there soon.
Speaker 2: He is an avid listener of The Mason Cock Show.
Speaker 2: We will go to his old all the time. We
Speaker 2: go to his former club, former former club g WS FIRS,
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast Sons. GWS got the chocolate. I've said
Speaker 2: chocolates twice, given out a load of chocolates. Lucocious Lika.
Speaker 2: He's back four goals, Toby Green three goals, three behind
Speaker 2: Don't worry about the behinds. He'll get there. Ben King
Speaker 2: signed a mammoth contract.
Speaker 1: That usually means one thing and one thing only.
Speaker 2: Brandon he just had a let's just simmer down a bit.
Speaker 2: He had four touches, kicked them behind, so he's just
Speaker 2: let's relax. We signed the contract.
Speaker 1: Now as how many years as you have just to
Speaker 1: chill out.
Speaker 2: He's got a month. He's on the big Millie. We're
Speaker 2: just putting that out there. That's that's not setting stunt
Speaker 2: so but we're saying he's definitely on a million. Brent
Speaker 2: Daniels goal over the shoulder, over the head, one of
Speaker 2: those ones. They're pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty exciting. Saying that is, do they get
Speaker 1: like a goal of the year if you do like
Speaker 1: a bicycle kick goal?
Speaker 2: Some do Luke Parkers remember Luke Parkers, fool See Brent
Speaker 2: Daniels is like, he's like, what five seven? So I
Speaker 2: kick over your head?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Not that amazing kick over your head?
Speaker 1: Would this be a goal of the year If you're
Speaker 1: like boundary throwing to Rockman, go out it. You kick
Speaker 1: it out of the air from a boundary throw and
Speaker 1: it goes in. They don't even like hand to foot,
Speaker 1: just straight out of the air. I did that in
Speaker 1: training once. I still think it's a great goal of everything.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was. It was kind of one of those things.
Speaker 1: I was like, it was a ship throw.
Speaker 2: They played under the replay of the Grand Final the
Speaker 2: other day. That one that you had and you got
Speaker 2: it out of the rock contest and snapped it in
Speaker 2: the mists.
Speaker 1: That would have give me a huge spreak. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure he was up in there.
Speaker 2: He can't get them all, leave some ball for someone else, jeez,
Speaker 2: let him have a So let's move on. We've got
Speaker 2: the Geelong Cats now they've played down at the Cattery.
Speaker 2: I just want to touch on this. They play in
Speaker 2: Geelong for their preseason game and then they get looked
Speaker 2: after the first round. They're playing in Geelong again.
Speaker 1: Have they figured out their stadium? Has it done yet?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been ten years in the making.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think that side it'll never be done.
Speaker 1: They have incredible insides, but that stand on like whatever
Speaker 1: the east side I think of the stadium. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been going for ages. I feel like it's.
Speaker 2: What's on the inside that counts, is what my mum
Speaker 2: always used to say. Let's jump into the game. Geelong
Speaker 2: eighty three to Essendon seventy one, but not all downside
Speaker 2: for Essendon. Nick Martin two goals, twenty eight touches, so
Speaker 2: he looked good. Gresham new club, he kicked two goals,
Speaker 2: two behind fourteen touches. So it's good to see, you know,
Speaker 2: the new players running around there. You get excited at
Speaker 2: this time.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hype with us in a lot
Speaker 1: of trades in the off season, so they're definitely seeing
Speaker 1: what they can produce.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it when your club gets in a
Speaker 2: new influx of players. You miss out on exciting draft picks,
Speaker 2: but they take a while.
Speaker 1: Ye, well, you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 1: That's trying to make finals. That's the first thing they're
Speaker 1: going to do.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately there's something that mightn't help them in their
Speaker 2: pursuit for finals. Ridley quite injury. Yes, just signed a
Speaker 2: big six year deal.
Speaker 1: This is a this is a theme. You sign a
Speaker 1: big deal and bad things happen. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: signed it. My deal and got two years and got dropped.
Speaker 1: I think a week later. That's it's just how it happens.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Old enough that news ben like he'll come good good,
Speaker 2: you use it, but it does happen quite often.
Speaker 1: It's a weird dynamic.
Speaker 2: You know, we don't want to start slinging. But like
Speaker 2: Brody Grundy massive deal, Clayton Oliver massive deal, were massive
Speaker 2: deals all over the shop. Maybe maybe let's go to
Speaker 2: three year deals now. Well for the players, big deals
Speaker 2: were for big deal.
Speaker 1: We love big deals.
Speaker 2: You would still take seven year.
Speaker 1: I would take whatever.
Speaker 2: If they came to you with a big seven year
Speaker 2: would you believe it?
Speaker 1: No? Are you kidding me? Seven years would almost put
Speaker 1: me at forty a wild look like Harvey.
Speaker 2: It would be a wild prank. Imagine that. It's probably
Speaker 2: not the place to joke.
Speaker 1: Right, did just leave for Europe? So if there's any
Speaker 1: time to do it, it's now.
Speaker 2: Do you walk in just with a note? Handwritten note
Speaker 2: said alright, he said seven years.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That was the last thing you said
Speaker 1: out the door. You said, just give Mason seven years.
Speaker 2: I don't know he said it. But one funny thing
Speaker 2: that came out of this game quealthy. Now I wouldn't say, yeah,
Speaker 2: solidified spot in the in the spot in the team.
Speaker 2: So you want to just do everything right when you
Speaker 2: have on those fringes. But he hit a banana, like
Speaker 2: a genuine check side banana from a set shot about
Speaker 2: what twelve meters?
Speaker 1: It's confidence when I want, isn't it? Is that the classic?
Speaker 1: Just preseason get me through this.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he missed. If he hadn't got it, I
Speaker 2: still think he would have got sprayed, won't you.
Speaker 1: I think it probably comes up as a bit of
Speaker 1: a joke in the you know, the postgame maybe review.
Speaker 2: I get the snap, you can replicate it.
Speaker 1: Jack used to do that all the time, real he
Speaker 1: would always like snap from like ten meters out in front.
Speaker 2: Stevie J obviously named after him the J curve. But
Speaker 2: the job you're I haven't seen yet seen. I haven't
Speaker 2: seen many bananas from the said shot. Anyway. Moving on,
Speaker 2: we go straight into the Port Adelaide versus Freeman or
Speaker 2: Dockers game, and I'm sorry Freeman.
Speaker 1: Or it's a good team.
Speaker 2: O god what it's a good team they are so
Speaker 2: hopefully Frio you can rest on that because not a
Speaker 2: great performance out of you guys. Last year finished rough
Speaker 2: and then you lost shirts. I don't know, let's not
Speaker 2: Collingwood player over here. Let's you know, forgive forget great trade. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I don't know what is going to happen to Frio
Speaker 2: this year, and I feel terrible about it.
Speaker 1: I feel this. I have no idea. I feel like
Speaker 1: they're a team that either is going to be up
Speaker 1: top or down below. They're not going to be in
Speaker 1: the middle. It's like one or the other. And I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's going to be, but it's going
Speaker 1: to be an extreme either way.
Speaker 2: I honestly I don't see it. I look at that
Speaker 2: list and although promising a couple of years ago, teams
Speaker 2: have just gone past them. In my opinion, humble opinion,
Speaker 2: my non football playing opinion, but yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 2: just look at other lists that they're like, they've got
Speaker 2: some good midfielders and then they got some good forwards.
Speaker 2: Fair like they've got bits and pieces. But it's so
Speaker 2: competitive at the top end of the ladder, because like,
Speaker 2: if you do the challenge, you sit down and you
Speaker 2: pick a top eight, you're picking twelve team.
Speaker 1: I feel like this year, especially it's so hard. But
Speaker 1: I look at their first like six games, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're playing top eight teams every game.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. You're like every week you're like, god, geers,
Speaker 2: what's with our fixture? It's a hard one. And then
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, all teams are just good.
Speaker 1: Yes there's no game, no games off.
Speaker 2: But we're not writing free oh off, it's pre season.
Speaker 2: They lost the Port and it was in Adelaide. It
Speaker 2: was at Port's home ground. They throw a rock that
Speaker 2: hit the front door, so you know they had it
Speaker 2: all on their side. Hayden Young shining light out of
Speaker 2: this game, two goals, twenty six touches, was everywhere setting
Speaker 2: up everything. So he's an absolute jet, so much so
Speaker 2: that even though Port won. They interviewed Hayden Young after
Speaker 2: the game, which you don't see very often very often now.
Speaker 2: But Burton, Houston, Rosie wins all looking good. So they're
Speaker 2: all the familiar faces, fiery. But one thing that you know,
Speaker 2: Port a little rattle it. We got Butters, you know,
Speaker 2: Zach Butters Yep, hurt his ankle, no, which you don't
Speaker 2: want to see in these times, but he hurt it
Speaker 2: in a real weird way. He was kind of just
Speaker 2: walking backwards and then rolled his ankle and then went
Speaker 2: down and then came off, so or something.
Speaker 1: It was a sprinkler.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He actually joked after the fact, saying, like, just
Speaker 2: a bit silly, really.
Speaker 1: Just a bit silly, you know, just a little uncoordinated.
Speaker 2: I don't like bringing it up to you. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I've seen those rock contests where your big flippers get
Speaker 2: all tied up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of feet apeing the weekend about
Speaker 1: tim Toronto. Actually anyway, we'll get into that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: well no, we're going to the next name. Adelaide versus
Speaker 1: West Coast is West Coast? Are they back? Baby?
Speaker 2: God, it's going to be a lot this is so
Speaker 2: let's just take a step back. They get the number
Speaker 2: one draft pick, right, they got Harley red Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. But you know what you like
Speaker 2: to do when your team is terrible, You like to
Speaker 2: get that number one draft pick and you you have
Speaker 2: a little like spark, a happiness, a little bit of joy.
Speaker 2: We may be terrible for the next six to ten years,
Speaker 2: but we got Harley Reid. He's pretty good.
Speaker 1: So future we're looking at the future.
Speaker 2: Looking at the future with it not summer. You know,
Speaker 2: Summich writes for the newspaper over there, Well, he left
Speaker 2: the newspaper, long long standing relationship because he's potting Harley
Speaker 2: Reid in the newspaper going like simmer down. He's not
Speaker 2: Chris Judd. Let him have a little glimmer.
Speaker 1: He's eighteen years old. It's just let him live, dude,
Speaker 1: let him live. Let him enjoy, like the experience for
Speaker 1: it even starts like far out.
Speaker 2: He's it's going to be a sad little city over there.
Speaker 2: You kind of just hoping each other's opposition.
Speaker 1: You have some one of the two teams is like
Speaker 1: actually really good, but like, yeah, Frio these question marks
Speaker 1: around West Coast obviously has had a bit of a
Speaker 1: rough trot last year, so it's it's going to be
Speaker 1: an interesting year.
Speaker 2: I feel like in general, what we said about Frio,
Speaker 2: the little shining light for them is West Coast is worse.
Speaker 2: So that's what they've got. Anyway, Adelaide dominated West Coast
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen to fifty. Not all Upside because
Speaker 2: Riley Thilthorpe when off injured meniscus. He'll miss the start
Speaker 2: of the season. So they're down to Ford lucky them
Speaker 2: really hoting forward lines. So as much as it sucks,
Speaker 2: they got Rankin who kicked four so Shelley our boy
Speaker 2: here kicked three three.
Speaker 1: He's my favorite player Adelaide. He is awesome. I love
Speaker 1: his energy and I think he's going to be annoying
Speaker 1: as ship for other teams, which it makes me love
Speaker 1: him even more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like. I like watching Adelaide games. They're fun
Speaker 2: to watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately, uh got screwed out of finals last year,
Speaker 2: so hopefully they can come back and not uh not
Speaker 2: kick goals.
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw a little nugget in here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: had someone contact me from Adelaide this week. We had
Speaker 1: a bit of a chat over the phone. Oh god, no,
Speaker 1: you'll be You'll love it if it comes through. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we move on to the next one. Harthorne versus Western Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: Are you hated that Hawks?
Speaker 2: You know the f what they are an up and
Speaker 2: coming AFL team inside young side, real chirpy, chirpy young
Speaker 2: kids out there. You know they got sicily running around
Speaker 2: as their captain. Is he still captain? He's their captain
Speaker 2: telling them what to do, leading from the front. Sam
Speaker 2: Mitchell also chirpy. He's their coach, so no wonder they're
Speaker 2: creating a little chirpy spawn.
Speaker 1: It's just key than the young fellas.
Speaker 2: But they were right up there. They were winning the
Speaker 2: whole game until they weren't winning halfway through the third
Speaker 2: and the Bulldogs kicked fifteen goals in the second half.
Speaker 1: Fifteen goals. I don't know my math. Well, I know
Speaker 1: that's a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they flogged them one hundred and nineteen to
Speaker 2: sixty two. But who was good? Our boy Jack Ginovan? Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was in everything early. Every time they kicked it
Speaker 2: into the forward line, Guinea was taking the mark. Had
Speaker 2: the long sleeve made the brown and pooh look good?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think getting can pull off any kind
Speaker 1: of jumper and long sleeve, but that's the hardest to
Speaker 1: pull off.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It is the hardest color scheme to pull off and
Speaker 1: look good.
Speaker 2: And it actually, yeah, he did look good.
Speaker 1: We'll give it to Jack. He could make anything look good.
Speaker 2: But the Bulldogs gee purse. I was watching the first
Speaker 2: half and I was like, oh no, Like, what is
Speaker 2: going to happen to this Bulldog's team because they are inconsistent,
Speaker 2: But Luckily they came out absolutely dominated the second half,
Speaker 2: and all of that is forgotten because Jamara.
Speaker 1: Hugo Hagen in front of the show.
Speaker 2: Norton Aaron Norton four goals each combined for twelve marks total.
Speaker 2: That's a Now, that's a forward line. If they start
Speaker 2: doing that on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: Each Dude, you were just licking your lips on the
Speaker 1: first season game like that, and.
Speaker 2: You got that and who's kicking it down to him?
Speaker 2: Thirty two touches and a goal. He's just freak man.
Speaker 1: He hit that goal. I saw you like burst through
Speaker 1: three half worn players, like shoved on another way, just
Speaker 1: kicks one for fifteen and just looked. It looks so
Speaker 1: casual that it just upset me. I was like, if
Speaker 1: I did that, it would be the greatest goal of
Speaker 1: my career. And he just does it on a consistent
Speaker 1: basis with no care in the world. He glides if
Speaker 1: he does, just like he's like a gazelle. Whenever he
Speaker 1: just runs, he just shoves people off.
Speaker 2: I always thinking like he's got that pendlebris esque like
Speaker 2: where everyone's going flat out around him.
Speaker 1: And they're just, yeah, he slows the game. I do agree.
Speaker 2: But Giane Newcomb for the Hawks. He can chert because
Speaker 2: he gets thirty seven touches every game seven. He's just
Speaker 2: going to keep getting more and more. He's going to
Speaker 2: be Maybe we.
Speaker 1: Had like the thing for Plumber. Maybe we're like forty
Speaker 1: touches we make. There's some kind of name.
Speaker 2: For Saint Kilda verse North Melbourne. Now, obviously this game
Speaker 2: was marred by the Jimmy Webster incident, which we won't
Speaker 2: touching with all. We're not backing over that one. But
Speaker 2: Saints got the job done, so unfortunately that soured their
Speaker 2: successful preseason campaign. They won both games, top of the
Speaker 2: preseason ladder with the percentage I think they were around
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty five percent. So they're doing well,
Speaker 2: and they're doing well because they've got a pretty potent
Speaker 2: forward line up there. They've got uh Cooper Sharman, Mitch Owen's,
Speaker 2: Tim Membry, Max King. They all got two goals, so
Speaker 2: that spreading them around. That's not one guy kicking seven
Speaker 2: and the rest they got their hat out asking for
Speaker 2: a free goal. But it was a funny bit of
Speaker 2: byplayer off the back of this game. Because Camza he's
Speaker 2: got his contract talk and.
Speaker 1: This this week.
Speaker 2: He pushed that back a little bit. But Cane Korn's
Speaker 2: you love he's sharp. He's sharp. And obviously when Horny
Speaker 2: Frank left Horn Francis, North Melbourne and went to Port Adelaide,
Speaker 2: so you know, he released the tote bag, he had
Speaker 2: a bit of you know, chirp, a bit of something
Speaker 2: to say about him leaving. So Cane Korns just pointed
Speaker 2: out that Kamzo can't go anywhere if he's gonna you know,
Speaker 2: kick up his stink when Horny Frank leaves, well, he
Speaker 2: can't be leaving a couple of years later, can he?
Speaker 1: True? That is? Is it interesting?
Speaker 2: It doesn't do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, people don't forget. People don't forget Brandon. One of
Speaker 1: my favorite quotes from Super Bad. People don't forget.
Speaker 2: He's very switched on. He's one of the best heels
Speaker 2: in the game.
Speaker 1: Like it would imagine if you laughed, it would be hilarious.
Speaker 2: If Horny Frank doesn't start bringing out tote bags, Oh.
Speaker 1: My gosh, I would love that more than anything. Just
Speaker 1: the response from Fred's.
Speaker 2: They're already he's got him in production, surely. But another
Speaker 2: good thing for the ruse Zach Fisher the fish. He
Speaker 2: went from Carlton over to the ruse thirty six touches,
Speaker 2: which is good to see, another little bit of excitement
Speaker 2: coming out of there. So yeah, that's good to see.
Speaker 2: Now let's jump into what everyone's been waiting for. We'll
Speaker 2: jump into Collingwood v. Richmond. The Markov Cup.
Speaker 1: Markov Cup. Don't we love that? Sponsored by? I want
Speaker 1: to say it was food Bank. Probably should know the sponsor,
Speaker 1: but we did. There was a pineapple on the trophy
Speaker 1: and there were so many questions around that. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I just I don't know.
Speaker 2: Collingwood got the job done. Seventy six to forty six. Yeah,
Speaker 2: convincing winners. You know, that's a few handful of goals,
Speaker 2: so pretty good, you know, just you don't want to
Speaker 2: go too too big.
Speaker 1: Too like thirty points even, you know. And it was
Speaker 1: we had to get the last one over the line
Speaker 1: to get that thirty even, you know.
Speaker 2: So let's jump into the main talking point because it
Speaker 2: was you know, it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's pretty relaxed.
Speaker 2: Everyone chipped away kicked and I was like, well, what
Speaker 2: are we going to talk about in this game?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Pretty quiet?
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing. Pretty so I'll go on
Speaker 1: the pod this week. What am I going to have
Speaker 1: to talk about?
Speaker 2: It was they're lining up the sirens going game's over.
Speaker 2: But what the camera whip pans a bit of a
Speaker 2: frack car down on the goal line.
Speaker 1: Mason Cox loves a bit of attention, Mike, who's in there?
Speaker 2: There's a Bradon Maynard. Who are we looking for? He's
Speaker 2: not out there? What's going on? And then you get
Speaker 2: big Mason Cox. He's pushing everyone, He's ragged doing people.
Speaker 2: He's getting shoved in the face from like quite low
Speaker 2: down jumper up in there.
Speaker 1: Well, my stroke taken off at one point.
Speaker 2: That's going on there?
Speaker 1: Well, I essentially you know. Billy Frampton told me before
Speaker 1: he goes look, I don't have the legs to make it.
Speaker 1: I don't have the legs to make it to the line.
Speaker 1: I need a bit of a distraction. So I said,
Speaker 1: don't worry. I got you. I'll take on ten rich
Speaker 1: men players. I'll get the goal like completely clear and
Speaker 1: you can kick it from seventy.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, the context is Billy Frampton Sirron, we got
Speaker 2: is seventy out.
Speaker 1: He said. I did play forward in the last game
Speaker 1: in the Grand Final. I loved a bit of the
Speaker 1: you know, a bit of the offense and he's playing
Speaker 1: back in this game he got his opportunity to have
Speaker 1: a set shot for goal, said I want my what
Speaker 1: fuck credit?
Speaker 2: So what happened in this because I think it was?
Speaker 2: Was it Marlon Pickett was having a bit of a
Speaker 2: fight with Ash Johnson and then you got a cross
Speaker 2: and played big protector, big bruiser. It comes a big
Speaker 2: Mason Cocks in to just mediate this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well Ash Ash was he was setting blocks
Speaker 1: and stuff to maybe have someone kind of lead up
Speaker 1: at the ball and all that, and he's been doing
Speaker 1: that whole game, going really well. And that's like this
Speaker 1: unselfish that we love at the club, right, And it's
Speaker 1: something I as a big man, whenever you go down
Speaker 1: as a ruckman and someone's blocking your ruckman for you,
Speaker 1: it is such a good feeling because then you actually
Speaker 1: get a bit of space rather than having everyone jump
Speaker 1: on your head and you're essentially, you know, the spotlight
Speaker 1: everyone looking for just to try to bring the gold
Speaker 1: balld toground or take the mark. So you love that
Speaker 1: as a big man, and whenever you see someone go
Speaker 1: at him for doing that, you don't want him to
Speaker 1: be de incentivized to do that again. So I, in
Speaker 1: the other hand, love what Ash Johnson does, and unfortunately
Speaker 1: for Picket, he wasn't too happy with what Ash Johnson
Speaker 1: was doing got into him. I wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: that As Johnson does this in the future in the season,
Speaker 1: so I decided to go over to pick it and say, look,
Speaker 1: excuse me, excuse me, sir, do not hit my player.
Speaker 1: That's doing what I liked what he did is doing.
Speaker 1: And he just proceeded to grab my jumper. And as
Speaker 1: soon as you grab a jumper, Braden, it's fucking on, no,
Speaker 1: there's no getting around it. Right. As soon as a
Speaker 1: jumper is pulled and he comes and pulls your chest
Speaker 1: to chest, face to face, you have no other option
Speaker 1: but to return fire and grab his jumper. And that's
Speaker 1: whenever the whole thing kind of started. And it's the
Speaker 1: whole push shop push shop. And I'm kind of like,
Speaker 1: he's not as toll as me, so I'm kind of
Speaker 1: like pushing down and he's kind of pushing up, and
Speaker 1: then he kind of just like takes cause he's like
Speaker 1: pushing up, he kind of like takes my jumper and
Speaker 1: tries to pull it over my head. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: from there you really don't know what you're swinging. App
Speaker 1: you just start pulling and push it everywhere. And I
Speaker 1: think that's whenever everyone else got involved. And then everyone's
Speaker 1: like the siren went. I didn't hear it. I didn't
Speaker 1: know the ball. I didn't know Billy Frampton even had
Speaker 1: the ball, to be honest, and you go on the
Speaker 1: scuffle and everything else. And this is the funny part
Speaker 1: about it, Ryan, and I tell this is a weird
Speaker 1: thing about AFL. As soon as the siren goes, everyone's
Speaker 1: mates and everyone shakes hands. So I'm in a full
Speaker 1: like shove match with people blah blah blah. And then
Speaker 1: as soon as I let go of jumpers shake hands,
Speaker 1: shake hand, shake hands. Great game. I hope you have
Speaker 1: a great week ahead. Good luck on the start of
Speaker 1: the season. Good stuff. Make great to see you again.
Speaker 1: How's the family been. It was the weirdest dynamic, but
Speaker 1: just such the most AFL thing you could possibly think of.
Speaker 1: And I walked back to the to the to the
Speaker 1: boys after the after the game, and Billy Frand comes
Speaker 1: up and he goes, oh, dude, thanks bro, appreciate that
Speaker 1: man that was sick, and I was like, what I
Speaker 1: do for you? And he was like, I kicked the
Speaker 1: goal and I was like, oh you did. Had no
Speaker 1: idea until about five minutes after the whole scuffle it was.
Speaker 1: So that's why I did it so we could talk
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast and that here we are.
Speaker 2: I appreciate You're welcome every time you do work. So
Speaker 2: if you could just punch not maybe not punch on
Speaker 2: every round, do something unique every round, but just get something.
Speaker 1: Going, just put someone off everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fun way to you know, hype up
Speaker 2: the podcast. I always love it. But I do want
Speaker 2: to ask you how you how you feel coming out
Speaker 2: of that game. Now, first semi real game. You got
Speaker 2: some minutes in there, You play some pretty good foot.
Speaker 2: You took a few marks, goal miss too, but we'll
Speaker 2: talk about that.
Speaker 1: No, it's good. It's good. Everyone went on scathe, which
Speaker 1: is important. So yeah, it was nice to kind of
Speaker 1: get a bit of game time around kind of the
Speaker 1: group that probably is gonna be playing Round zero. So
Speaker 1: to get those four quarters in office is a bit more,
Speaker 1: I feel like in it than the first game. We
Speaker 1: had a lot of our senior players out this one.
Speaker 1: We kind of had a full team plan, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was good to go out there. We
Speaker 1: had some guys play that and played well. I want
Speaker 1: to shout out a guy named Charlie Dean. Oh, Chazz
Speaker 1: played so well, so excited me. He's had so many
Speaker 1: issues with feet and everything else, and it was just
Speaker 1: it was just freaking awesome seeing him out there and
Speaker 1: just killing it like it was so good. I know
Speaker 1: he's I can imagine putting myself in his scenario and
Speaker 1: his shoes of just how frustrating it must have been.
Speaker 1: And it was just so nice to see him out
Speaker 1: there doing this thing.
Speaker 2: It is cool because it's extra hard. You know, you've
Speaker 2: got injuries against you, but you're also in one of
Speaker 2: the top teams, so it's hard to break into that side.
Speaker 2: So any game that you can get out there with
Speaker 2: the boys must be pretty awesome. Let's jump into next
Speaker 2: week's preview Round zero. Let's forget this whole Round zero
Speaker 2: crap because we've harped on it long enough. We're getting
Speaker 2: out there, getting up to the New South Wales, we're
Speaker 2: getting up to the Queensland. We're growing the game. We're
Speaker 2: in New South Wales, seventh March SCG Sydney v Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Big game, great game. I can't wait for this. Max gone,
Speaker 1: Brody Grundy at it again. The two big boys just
Speaker 1: go after each other. You want to put them as
Speaker 1: number one on your super coach. We'll see who gets
Speaker 1: the most stats on that day. I can't wait. That
Speaker 1: is a ruckman's just like it is just an absolute
Speaker 1: feast for the Rocks, just going at it to the
Speaker 1: best out there and pretty stoke fellall match up.
Speaker 2: They definitely planned this, like they cherry picked the best
Speaker 2: storylines going into the season and said the.
Speaker 1: Biggest trades of the off season or any big trades.
Speaker 1: They always match those two clubs up every time.
Speaker 2: So cool. Obviously, Melbourne very disappointing in finals two years
Speaker 2: in a row. They got to come out prove themselves.
Speaker 2: Sydney probably played a bit unders to what everyone expected
Speaker 2: last year, so they're going to be wanting to, you know,
Speaker 2: start the season off with a win in don't we
Speaker 2: all Mace? But you know going up there. Oliver returns
Speaker 2: for Melbourne, playing after a pretty tumultuous off season. Interesting
Speaker 2: and yeah, we're just going to jump straight into it
Speaker 2: because I can't wait to see Brodie Grundy running around
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 1: Who do you have his more hitouts on the day,
Speaker 1: Brodie or Max?
Speaker 2: I still got to say Max, I still got to back.
Speaker 1: It would be pretty even knowing Brodie is like Brody
Speaker 1: more hitouts, Max more Marx, Brodie more disposals.
Speaker 2: I reckon. Just it's going to bring the best out
Speaker 2: of both for sure, and it's going to be wild.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: Can outperform midfielders for sure. Yeah, we're doing tips. I reckon,
Speaker 2: I reckon, I'll go Sydney up there.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Melbourne. I think Melbourne will win,
Speaker 1: just because they've coughed a bit of flak over the
Speaker 1: whole finals campaign stuff, and they're pretty fierry about that
Speaker 1: one too, to prove themselves early.
Speaker 2: A lot of turbulence coming out of Melbourne. You always
Speaker 2: want to just get out there and play footy, so
Speaker 2: everyone gets all about it now, talk about forgetting about things.
Speaker 2: Brisbane are gonna want to forget that they lost the
Speaker 2: Grand Final last year. Just repeating Brisbane lost the Grand
Speaker 2: Final last year, but they're up at the Gabbada night.
Speaker 1: Back at the streak of undefeatedness at the Gabba.
Speaker 2: USh that they could have played the Grand Final at
Speaker 2: the gabatour, but they couldn't mcg where we know they're
Speaker 2: no good. But here we go Brisbane versus Carlton. Carlton
Speaker 2: on the back foot, injuries galore up there, can they
Speaker 2: go up and I guess start the season off because
Speaker 2: everyone's been saying, oh, their favorites for the flag. They've
Speaker 2: got to be favorites for the flag. If you don't
Speaker 2: think that their favorites, you haven't been watching footy.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: If they go up there and get pumped by Brisbane,
Speaker 2: I think that's what they're doing it for. They're setting
Speaker 2: Carlton up here for some failure. So if Carlton come
Speaker 2: out and with.
Speaker 1: This is the thing though, Carlton, whenever they played Brisbane
Speaker 1: in the prelim, we're up by a decent chunk at
Speaker 1: like halftime or quarter time, So it's not like an
Speaker 1: unfeasible thing for them to win up there. I don't
Speaker 1: think it is. Whatsoever. Do I think they're going to
Speaker 1: win though. I think Brisbane will win Gabba home ground.
Speaker 1: They're excited to get back in front of their fans.
Speaker 1: Obviously a bit of a point to prove with the
Speaker 1: last game they played in the Grand Final, and you know,
Speaker 1: want to get back into it. I think like after
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen where lost, the first thing we want to
Speaker 1: do is just get back to playing because we wanted
Speaker 1: to get back to the experience and try to get
Speaker 1: back there again. So I think them at the Gabba,
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about it being a fortress all
Speaker 1: the time, and it's I don't know how many games
Speaker 1: in a row they've won up there. It's double digits,
Speaker 1: I want to say. Yeah, So it's going to be
Speaker 1: a very tough ask for Carlton, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: I'll say again, journalists have set Carleton up here. They go,
Speaker 2: Carlton have to be like favorites for the flag. So
Speaker 2: when they come out round one if they get pumped
Speaker 2: by Brisbane, boy, oh boy, they're on the back foot
Speaker 2: from round one. Easy headlines for them if they win.
Speaker 2: See I told you, I told you they should be favorites.
Speaker 2: It's one of those double Jeopardy win wins for the journals.
Speaker 2: They get to write off that they got it good
Speaker 2: either way. But yeah, I got Brisbane up there, and
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'll say quite convincingly. But even that,
Speaker 2: it's probably like five goals.
Speaker 1: Maybe next game, what do we got?
Speaker 2: We got Gold Coast v. Richmond Dimmer versus old team
Speaker 2: up on the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1: Nothing will make me happier than seeing Demmer show up
Speaker 1: in georts gene shorts for this game. That would make
Speaker 1: me just smile from ear to ear. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to do this, I don't know how to get
Speaker 1: this through to him, but please just show up in
Speaker 1: georts and runners, and I will just love this more
Speaker 1: than anything in the world.
Speaker 2: Like those boat shoes, yep.
Speaker 1: Just full. Just really lean into it, really lean into it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got smashed by gwas last game, in
Speaker 1: a pre season game. I mean, you might as well
Speaker 1: just have a bit of fun.
Speaker 2: But I reckon they've matched him up, not only obviously
Speaker 2: the storyline dim A V's Old Club.
Speaker 1: There were a chance, my boys. I've told you this
Speaker 1: multiple times, my boys, the Gold Coast Signs are making
Speaker 1: finals this year.
Speaker 2: Brandon, see their Gold Coasts are another one. When you're
Speaker 2: picking finals, it's too competitive to squeeze him in there.
Speaker 1: I think what will happen is gold cost a bit
Speaker 1: of a rocky start to the year learning a new
Speaker 1: game plan. You might like to be close to winning
Speaker 1: a few games, but you won't be able to close
Speaker 1: them out. And then about like a third of the
Speaker 1: way through the year, they're going to hit their straps.
Speaker 1: They're going to win like six in a row. And
Speaker 1: then who knows what's going to happen in the last third.
Speaker 2: Cheap if that comes to fruition, we'll clip that up.
Speaker 2: And then let's head into the smallest match of the round.
Speaker 2: Just a little game up at Giant Stadium. GWS first Collingwood.
Speaker 2: They're hitting it at Saturday night, big game, Big Mason Cox,
Speaker 2: beef game, got the Dave Matthews band up there chirping away.
Speaker 2: They're saying, we hate Sydney, we hate Collingwood. I don't
Speaker 2: hear many people talking about GWS, but they've created their
Speaker 2: own rivalry up there.
Speaker 1: So hey, they're a good team. They've only beat them
Speaker 1: by a point in the prelim, so they're one of
Speaker 1: the teams that I think will be top four this year.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a tough game for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there has been a bit of commentary round it, doing
Speaker 1: me wrong all the Sydney kind of like board members
Speaker 1: and stuff have been really true this offseason, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: We're going to drum up some excitement.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't know, but yeah, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: good game up there at the Showgrounds. And that's that's
Speaker 1: all I'm going to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't want to put any more petrol
Speaker 2: on the on the fire. But that's exactly what the
Speaker 2: tape coming through this podcast looking for little nuggets. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what I say, you're going to go up
Speaker 2: there and flog them. The Little Peasant Club, your twelve
Speaker 2: members is that they're not going to clip up what
Speaker 2: I say. That's all right, but yeah, it's going to
Speaker 2: be you guys match up incredibly well.
Speaker 1: Always a good game, always, always.
Speaker 2: Such a good game. And obviously I was on GWS
Speaker 2: all last year. Good club. And if they can do
Speaker 2: what they did in the second half of the year
Speaker 2: for an entire year, they'll finish on top. They'll win
Speaker 2: the flag. They're that bloody good. They've got star players
Speaker 2: all the way through the list. They just they know
Speaker 2: the game plan inside now to.
Speaker 1: Make an absolute bank as we learned.
Speaker 2: Last Yeah, there's so many millionaire in that team. But
Speaker 2: you know you got that Dave Matthews band, money rolling
Speaker 2: in the door, you getting those royalty checks, you're passing
Speaker 2: it straight on. But it's going to be that's game
Speaker 2: of the round? Is it game of the round? We'll say,
Speaker 2: a non biased game of the round? Collingwoods and I'm
Speaker 2: guessing we're both Tip and Collingwood. Reluctantly, I reckon, I
Speaker 2: probably if I was didn't have Mason holding the gun
Speaker 2: to my head out of frame, I'll probably say GWS
Speaker 2: wins that one.
Speaker 1: But an American holding a gun to someone's ease.
Speaker 2: Well, see how we go? All right, We've got an
Speaker 2: interesting segment coming up because I want to dive straight
Speaker 2: into this one.
Speaker 1: Mace it says, new segment. A bit confused. I'm a
Speaker 1: bit nervous at the same time, Bradon, what is it?
Speaker 2: Mace? Let me break it down for you, because I've
Speaker 2: come up with a good concept. Because, as you remember
Speaker 2: BT Grand Final twenty sixteen, we've got tom BOYD kicks
Speaker 2: the goal and he adds just a little bit of
Speaker 2: flavor on there. He drops the magic.
Speaker 1: Bellavor is what you mean?
Speaker 2: He drops the word right in the middle and obviously
Speaker 2: makes that highlight iconic lives forever the best, So let's
Speaker 2: jump into it. My concept is what commentary would sound
Speaker 2: better if you're added swearing to it? Oh geez, so
Speaker 2: I think of back all the old moments that has
Speaker 2: happened in history. We're taking the existing commentary. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we're just adding a little magic hill a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'll make sure to bleep it, okay, because if I
Speaker 2: don't family show, we might be done. Yep, okay, So
Speaker 2: let's be for an example. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: can pick up what I'm putting down, So you do
Speaker 2: the commentary and I'll set it up. So this is
Speaker 2: let me take you back. He's sure comes from behind
Speaker 2: with the smother Schneider long kick in Schneider.
Speaker 1: Will he give it to re? What he will? What
Speaker 1: runs it?
Speaker 3: Touched off the boat? Oh my good goodness, wonderful chase By.
Speaker 3: He came up behind him like a librarian. He never
Speaker 3: get even heard of coming.
Speaker 2: Didn't expect it.
Speaker 1: I didn't expect you to expect the The whole purpose
Speaker 1: of this segment is it not to say as much
Speaker 1: as you can because you're gonna bleep this out. He
Speaker 1: was good, did make it better? He was pretty good?
Speaker 2: Make it better?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, I'll test you out on number two.
Speaker 2: On this one, because I reckon you remember this.
Speaker 1: This is a good one. I forget who we're playing.
Speaker 1: It might have been Richmond, actually I think it was Richmond.
Speaker 1: Darcy Moore gets it on the angle at the corner
Speaker 1: of the fifty arc in the boundary and he kicks
Speaker 1: it in to the beg.
Speaker 2: Sets it up. One mark hasn't happened. Still a chance?
Speaker 2: Is it a girl? It is Pizar in front? Was
Speaker 2: it Grundy? It was Grundy the vie.
Speaker 1: I get the vibe. I understand that would go that one.
Speaker 1: What's next on this thing?
Speaker 2: The classic beach man.
Speaker 1: I feel like we just just we should just do
Speaker 1: Brian Taylor over and over again.
Speaker 2: Let me just jump straight into this one. Big pack
Speaker 2: forms pew up below. He went up with a full
Speaker 2: force of his body and now roughhead that was out
Speaker 2: of bounds, that was out of bounds, that was s
Speaker 2: king out of bounds.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Not gonna lie. Oh jeez, I'm lover
Speaker 1: with this segment. I'm dying, all right. What's the last
Speaker 1: one we got here?
Speaker 2: Nick Davis? Just before the siren Mace.
Speaker 3: Siren could go at any second, Swans need a goal
Speaker 3: Nick Davis next, good Davis.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it.
Speaker 2: I see it, find out believe it. That's you've nailed
Speaker 2: that one. I like the after the fact where he
Speaker 2: goes with the capital C. How watch the listeners to
Speaker 2: the pod sent in those moments, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a reoccurring segment. We'll see
Speaker 2: how it goes. It definitely got us up and going.
Speaker 2: Did it make the moments better? That's what we want
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of.
Speaker 1: Mates. Are we going to be broadcasters in the future.
Speaker 1: I think we can convincingly say no, we love fan
Speaker 1: question love them. We talked about the community all time
Speaker 1: this podcast. We love people actually, you know, giving us
Speaker 1: feedback and answering the questions on social.
Speaker 2: Media, caring enough to put it out there, like Rachel
Speaker 2: cares when she asks, is there communicated like a level
Speaker 2: of aggression? How hard you go in training? Does fly
Speaker 2: say let's go ten out of ten or as you go,
Speaker 2: let's go four out of ten?
Speaker 1: Oh, you're always ten out of ten. But I think
Speaker 1: there's like certain things you don't do. You don't sling
Speaker 1: tackle people, you don't try to hit people high. There's
Speaker 1: a level, Yeah, I guess there is a level of
Speaker 1: aggression that you understand, Like as ruckman, you're probably not
Speaker 1: going to, like, you know, really beat the living hell
Speaker 1: out of each other and try to like, you know,
Speaker 1: do someone's spleen, let's say hypothetically. Yeah, so there is
Speaker 1: a communicator level of training. But you have to know
Speaker 1: when it's too much, when's not like going and sticking,
Speaker 1: like going full speed jumping into the back of someone's head,
Speaker 1: like not on right, are you back out of contest
Speaker 1: or someone's going back to the flight, Like there's certain
Speaker 1: things you look after your teammates with that in a
Speaker 1: game obviously would probably be a different situation playing against opposition,
Speaker 1: But Rachel, yes, there is, but probably not as much
Speaker 1: as you think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably wouldn't leave the ground bump head high as
Speaker 2: someone that's just kicked the footy. Who who will kick
Speaker 2: the first goal for the Pies against GWS. That's from
Speaker 2: Dan Walker.
Speaker 1: I really want Lucky Schultz to do it, And then
Speaker 1: I really want his what is celebration to just be
Speaker 1: the double pistols because we call him Shooter, right, we
Speaker 1: call him Shooter, And I feel like this the umpire
Speaker 1: double pistols is just so on brand for him his nickname.
Speaker 1: It would make me happy the boys would get around
Speaker 1: the first goal and the official game. It would be
Speaker 1: a great start to.
Speaker 2: The Shootter McGavin and Happy Gilmore. Oh I don't I
Speaker 2: don't like the you beat your chest with the jumper
Speaker 2: after one game?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not to go to to go to who's
Speaker 2: the least popular, most dislike player in the AFL. I'll
Speaker 2: give the caveat not you. You can't say yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that was the first thing. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of I mean, there's there's tons this guy not personally.
Speaker 1: I actually don't have anything against any players.
Speaker 2: What do you think the fans?
Speaker 1: The fans, Yeah, I think the most like hated on
Speaker 1: social media and stuff and cough, the most criticism. Toby
Speaker 1: Green used to be, but he's actually come a bit
Speaker 1: like I think since he was captain of the Australian
Speaker 1: team last year people started to respect him a bit more.
Speaker 2: Flipped it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's flipped it.
Speaker 2: A bit now. I want to see him karate kick people. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I'm probably not best another person Stephen May he
Speaker 1: was for some reason. He's always hated miss I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a bloke from dormand Francis obviously, the whole situation
Speaker 1: around Icepass and North Belbourne, Zorco Brisbane. I think every
Speaker 1: opposition probably he's a bit of a you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit of an extra extra spice to his game.
Speaker 2: You could say he falls into that category blocks you
Speaker 2: hate unless they play for your team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. And speaking of that Guinea Guineas another one.
Speaker 1: I think that probably I love him still, but I
Speaker 1: think fans probably are infuriated with the high tackling situation.
Speaker 2: You know what I hate when he always ducks, always
Speaker 2: looking for free kicks.
Speaker 1: Mate, you've changed, You've changed very quickly. You've changed.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the next one. If you had a
Speaker 2: cookoff with Christian pe Trucker, why would you cook?
Speaker 1: Jeez, we've talked about my banana bread being dope, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. And I did buy an air fryer
Speaker 1: the other day. I don't know if he's had a
Speaker 1: little segment of air frying, but I'm getting into the
Speaker 1: cooking a bit. Probably mysa salmon with just keep it simple,
Speaker 1: bit of like you know, coconut rice and veg I
Speaker 1: would love to do this. Actually, I don't know how
Speaker 1: we make this happen. If you tag and make this
Speaker 1: into a clip and say, like, tag Christian Petroca in
Speaker 1: this to say like either come on the pod or
Speaker 1: let's do a cooking competition like Hell's Kitchen style or
Speaker 1: Master Chef style. I'm not sure what's popular nowadays, but
Speaker 1: we Oh, Matt Preston will judge it me versus Christian
Speaker 1: Petraca in a full cooking competition. Let's make this thing happen.
Speaker 1: We've got the hook up.
Speaker 2: We need something writing on it. We need maybe you
Speaker 2: put it out to the fans. What's on the line
Speaker 2: in a cookoff between Mason Cocks and Christian Petruca by
Speaker 2: Matt Preston. What's on the line?
Speaker 1: It's a good question, but of dignity it's probably the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. Oh, I don't know what. What can I
Speaker 1: give him as like a I don't think he'd want
Speaker 1: anything of mine. Maybe maybe like if he goes to
Speaker 1: America in the off season, like whoever wins, sorry, whoever
Speaker 1: loses has to take them to a professional sporting event. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about that? I think that'd be nice?
Speaker 2: Ickon, we will put it out there and.
Speaker 1: It has to be like nice floor tickets.
Speaker 2: Can't be the local field hockey.
Speaker 1: Maybe the cricket league over there.
Speaker 2: Nothing against local field hockey. Don't don't come for me.
Speaker 2: I know they're rabbit's.
Speaker 1: Between your comments about Tasmania and that it's not a
Speaker 1: good look for you.
Speaker 2: Next, how do you feel about fans coming up to
Speaker 2: you in public? I've been there for this happens often.
Speaker 1: You you have been there for this, have the patience.
Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't mind it, but I just
Speaker 1: always kind of find it weird because I'd see myself
Speaker 1: as a normal person. So whenever people kind of like
Speaker 1: know a bit about my life and professional life is
Speaker 1: just like a very interesting experience. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's an odd thing. I know, I stick
Speaker 1: out like a sore thumb. I get it. People do
Speaker 1: come up to me, you take photos and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But the weird thing I find a
Speaker 1: lot right is people don't always have like the confidence
Speaker 1: to say hi to you until they've passed you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you'll walk past someone, I think in their brain
Speaker 1: the gears a grinding of tall person basketball no afl
Speaker 1: yes sounds American Mason Cox, and by the time they
Speaker 1: get to that deduction of deductive reasoning or whatever, they
Speaker 1: kind of shit themselves and then they turn around and
Speaker 1: go and then you're like, kind of too late. You're
Speaker 1: a bit past the situation. So it's a bit of
Speaker 1: an awkward one. I'm not gonna lie. And I don't
Speaker 1: understand why people just scream your last name but don't
Speaker 1: really want to talk to you. Yeah, I don't get that.
Speaker 2: I like how people just take a photo of you
Speaker 2: when they're like, can I get a photo? And you're
Speaker 2: assuming with that, and they's.
Speaker 1: Like, what do I do with my hands? Real? What
Speaker 1: are you going to do with Taladega night Style? What
Speaker 1: do I do with my heads?
Speaker 2: They're the ones that weird me out too, Big Red
Speaker 2: did fuck you? We've got a final one here, and
Speaker 2: this is great. I paid seven hundred dollars for Pies
Speaker 2: forty six number plate. Oh geez, is that number one
Speaker 2: fan material that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would say seven hundred dollars for Pies forty six,
Speaker 1: that's that's phenomenal. I don't know what the running rate
Speaker 1: is for the license plates nowadays, but seven hundred dollars
Speaker 1: it's a fair.
Speaker 2: Whack very brave now knowing your car is probably gonna
Speaker 2: get keyed.
Speaker 1: It's better than my cargetting pissed on last year like
Speaker 1: it did. Anyway, that is it. But I want to
Speaker 1: don't want to start this segment the very end bright,
Speaker 1: and I want to kind of wrap everything up with
Speaker 1: a bit of a final thought. So this doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be football related. Yeah, this is just life like.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you want to kind of shout out?
Speaker 1: Is there anything that's going on? I've got one, But
Speaker 1: I do want.
Speaker 2: To make it footy related, just for this first one.
Speaker 2: It's just a plea that I'm putting out there. No
Speaker 2: head high bumps this week, fellas. Let's just rain it
Speaker 2: in round zero first time ever. Let's just keep it clean.
Speaker 2: Big games, that's enough to be exciting. Let's not give
Speaker 2: them anything to write off about. Let's not be paying
Speaker 2: any fines. We just want to go out there, play
Speaker 2: some good football and come away with the four points.
Speaker 2: So just keep it clean, keep it clean to start
Speaker 2: the season. That's my pitch. That's my appeal to the
Speaker 2: place out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'll go with mine. If my glasses are goggles,
Speaker 1: as you say, get ripped off again? Can we just
Speaker 1: give the fine to Guide Dogs Victoria. I've just become
Speaker 1: an ambassador. I think that's a nice thing to do AFL.
Speaker 1: I don't know where the money goes at the moment,
Speaker 1: because there's some fun that probably pays someone at the AFL.
Speaker 1: But if we could just give that money to someone,
Speaker 1: that'd be a nice little jest.
Speaker 2: And we'll get a ticker on the broadcast every time
Speaker 2: they get ripped off your head it goes a number
Speaker 2: up one, two, three? Does it?
Speaker 1: Two grand a pop pop? That's pretty keys. Anyway, that's
Speaker 1: it for the podcast. We're gonna hind on that one.
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone for listening as always, cheers for being part
Speaker 1: of the community like share, comment, alo jazz on the
Speaker 1: social media and YouTube and whatnot, and just massive thank
Speaker 1: you for being absolute legends. But that is it from us.
Speaker 1: So having a great day, great week ahead of you,
Speaker 1: and we'll see you after round zero.
Speaker 2: Yeah,
