Speaker 2: how does it feel to be Australia's most loved couple

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: thoughts and people.

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: That's very lovely of you to say that, it actually

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: feels very nice. We've had such I've so denial. What

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: do you say, No, it's a fact, because there'll be

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: some challenges coming in this series where I may have

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: referenced before that you know Asian Scott are like the

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: ultimate power couple right like she's she's part of the

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Bravo family ash and she's divine, and Robert and I

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: there being like the awkward cousins who were the last

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: minute advice to a family wedding, and we're just like hello,

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: So it's nice that everyone is loving us. Right now,

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: down the track, our full ineptitude will come to the surface.

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Well, I have laughed so hard knowing you guys so

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: well at how much Robert would have been wounded by

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Gretel Colleen calling him unathletic. And then come another episode

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: where they literally are like, well he's not a dancer,

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: And all I can think of is Robert quoting Jane Austen, going, well,

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: you've insulted me in every which way, so therefore you

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: can have nothing more to say, because that's what Robert.

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Robert will describe himself as an athletic dancer.

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 1: You've cut me to the marrow.

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: Also, I've listened to your other pod, yes, and they

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: have claimed that you are Team Maroon. Oh yes, because

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: it's a tailor reference. Yes, and you're cheating on the Morons. No,

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: that make it relevant to this podcast? So how have

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: you pulled this off?

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: Team Marone?

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Once again? She is the vendiagram. So I it's it's

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: just one of those things where my life just perfectly

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: fits into both the Taylor Swift world and the sport world,

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: and Team Morone Maroon was the best way for us

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: to mold all of those things. And as we've discussed previously,

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: I look great in Moron. So that was just another

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: some people trying to say team Burgundy.

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: No, no.

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: Ron, no wear Maroon.

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: It's been honestly so fun to see people's reactions, like

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: you messaging me and sending me videos of you is

53
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: just like the best us. The latest episode of us

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: throwing up in some poor woman's poor woman's actual house

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: being the operative word in the In this place, it

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: was Bekista and this poor old lady you can.

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: Now say that home and as Bekista, yeah, who welcomed us,

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: and all we did was throw up from like every orifice.

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: It's just it was the Exorcist on steroids, the devil

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: in that room.

61
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: Yes, i'll quote you back to you. I've watched it

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: that many times anyway. The fact that I have to

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: be Team Marone and not Team Conrad in this room

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: because you haven't watched it when it's the single most

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: georgy coded show known to mankind.

66
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: It's a big day. It's a big day here on

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: cloud of the summer. I turned pretty. It's the show

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: that's taken over the world. Just behind the amazing race.

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: I think I am going to keep my review very swift.

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: Of the of the finale, it.

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: Was too sweet. Oh it was too sweets, too much.

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: You know, you goat me everything I wanted and it

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: was too much.

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: It was do you know what it was? It was

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: your challenge where they put thirty bowls of caramel in

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: front of you and the first bowl was delicious, but

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: you're like, this is agony, give me anything else. It

79
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: was so obvious and it was too much. Do you

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: know what I think it sometimes shows like this.

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Obviously they took over our lives in the best possible way.

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: Oh and this is not usually my jam.

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no again.

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: Just reciterate.

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm not usually into teenage love triangles. I should have

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: been watching they the best. I should have been watching

87
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: Goal Gaut make the semi. I watched that on replay.

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Yah yeah, yea, because I was making sure that no

89
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: one spoiled the summer.

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I turned pretty I know me to be fair to you,

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't a final, So that's okay, that's okay. But

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: the thing about these shows and teenage love triangles is

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: it's just everyone can get.

94
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: On board because everyone was a teenager once, right, yes,

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 2: and it loved.

96
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: It's the nostalgia of it all. And you'll and I

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: think for us as millennials, this is we are the

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: target demo. It's not for today's.

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: Yet because they've got four men's Leo and lobbed it up.

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: It's Leo DiCaprio. Their hair's the same.

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: This is I'm just it's so coded for us and

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: so made for us. What is just a beautiful time

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,200

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,799

Speaker 1: the moment. So over the weekend, dear listeners, thank you

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: for the welfare checks because a lot was happening in

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: my world.

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I already know what this is.

118
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: I may have watched nay. I survived the greatest game

119
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: of rugby league I have ever seen, I have ever seen.

120
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: It was arkable. I claimed last week that it was

121
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: going to be a blockbuster and the Broncos were going

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: to win the whole thing in the NRL. Broncos b Raiders.

123
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: What a time Raiders.

124
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: The minor Premiere is Broncos scraping through, limping through.

125
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: To the finals.

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: I say that they're in the top four, but everyone

127
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: was questioning whether they had form lines coming into this

128
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: to take on a team that had been so dominant.

129
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: And it was the game of the round, which is

130
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: the first round of the finals.

131
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: It had more drama in it than all three seasons

132
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: of the summer.

133
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: I turned pretty and.

134
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: We all know who the jeremiahs. They even have the

135
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: same hair coloring. He drinks out of a toilet. No,

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: race isn't Jeremiah, Yes he is. He's got olive skin,

137
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: curly hair, drinks out of a toilet.

138
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Lines Upmetz and I was originally team Jeremiah. So things

139
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: are tracking, Things are tracking. Here, But then who's team

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: Conrad the Broncos one for us to ponder. All I

141
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: know is that I was and I was having the

142
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: time of my life.

143
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: So just set it up for people that didn't see

144
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: the game. Put it this way.

145
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: We were watching the game and I was watching out

146
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: of the corner of my eye, and we sat down

147
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: for dinner because what it was five o'clock.

148
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Yes, and I've just.

149
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Gone, oh, well, that's sad. Yes, because we try not

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: to watch Telly.

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: Why we have dinner? And I thought it was a

152
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: fatal complete.

153
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: It was done for a half and a half, so

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: a whole half, the first half and half of the

155
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: second half. The canber Raiders were winning, and I thought, okay,

156
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: well Broncos, let's just prepare ourselves to have a do

157
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: or die match next week going back to Brisbane. It's

158
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: going to be okay. Ko Weeks was absolutely tearing us apart.

159
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: The canber Raiders full back. They're half strange, he was insane.

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I was like, this is just not our day. It's

161
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: not our day. Then Reese Walsh head Budtt Hudson young

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: and got sent from the field and I was like.

163
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: Oh shit, but he's available. To play this week, headbutt

164
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: and you're fine.

165
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: In the NRL, he got sent off, Pat Carrigan got

166
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: sent off. Hudson Young also got sent off. So at

167
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: one stage we were still down a million points and

168
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: we had there was twelve on eleven when it should

169
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: be thirteen on thirteen. Guys like, you know, I'm not

170
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: great at maths, but the abaicus ain't abocus. That's not good.

171
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: How do we come back from here? Then, in the

172
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: ultimate non Broncos performance I've ever seen, led by Jeremiah

173
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: himself Riese Walsh, he single handedly turned the game around,

174
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: scored a try, set up a try, nearly scored the

175
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: match winning field goal, got us to a game, got

176
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: us to a game tie in conversion, it.

177
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: Was like you know when you watch Space Jam and

178
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: they have Michael's secret stuff.

179
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: Yes, it was like that. Yes, it was like he

180
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 3: found another gear.

181
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: Honestly, honestly, it's the toilet water. I don't know what

182
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: to tell you. I don't know what to tell you

183
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: that someone has done a comparison of his stats in

184
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: the rounds before drinking from the toilet bowl and after

185
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: drinking from the toilet bowl, and they are way better.

186
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: I will just clarify that it's not just Georgie saying this.

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: I listened to Crash Credit saying that this is the

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: greatest rugby league game that we've seen in a century

189
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: of football.

190
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: The Camber Raiders ce raided their victory in the game.

191
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: Almost the fans almost charged the field, yeah, believing they'd won.

192
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: It twice and they had that security were holding him back. Yeah.

193
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes, they thought that they had won because Reese

194
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Welsh was awarded a penalty literally on the siren of

195
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: full time and they're like, oh my god, we won.

196
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: No you didn't, No, you didn't. Resw Welsh tie the game.

197
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Then it goes to extra time. The camber Raiders they

198
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: had already thought that they had scored a try and

199
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: then it's like no, no, no, that got sad. That

200
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: got taken off them too. And then it goes to

201
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: extra time. No one could make it, could score. Then

202
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: it went to golden point extra time, like this is

203
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: a ninety four minute match. It's only meant to go

204
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: for eighty minutes. It was the greatest spectacle. I them

205
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: went on national television shaking.

206
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: Why does this keep happening to you? I know, Swiffer

207
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: really it's an album. They're like, go on sendy in hysteria.

208
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: The Broncos get home and she's literally unhinged, and you're

209
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: likely unhinged.

210
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: It was honestly the greatest performance I have ever seen

211
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: from a player, bar Nathan Cleary the twenty twenty three

212
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Grand Final.

213
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: They're still alive.

214
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Oh I can't. Yeah. Look, do I think that that

215
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: was the greatest game of rugby leaguer I may have

216
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: ever seen? Yes? Do I think the Broncos will win

217
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: again this season?

218
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: Nah?

219
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Nah?

220
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: That was their Grand Final. But they brought you enough joy.

221
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: Brought me so much joy. We have a week off

222
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: before we go into the pre limb for everyone playing

223
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: at home, I don't think we're really going to win

224
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: that because we're going to be up against the pen

225
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: with Panthers most likely they take on the Bulldogs this week.

226
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: I think that they'll win that easily. The Bulldogs don't

227
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: have Steve Crichton, They've got so many injuries. If that

228
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: happens to be Broncos Panthers, I think.

229
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: The Panthers can beat us Panthers.

230
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: I think with the Broncos coming off a rest, with

231
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: the Panthers having been last on the ladder after round

232
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: twelve and everyone was like, well, finally, yeah, we might

233
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: not have someone go back to back to back to

234
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: back to back.

235
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Yep. This would be their sixth straight Grand Final and

236
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: potentially they lose straight win.

237
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

238
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: So if you ever wake up in the middle of

239
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: the night, dear listener, and you think it's like three am,

240
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: and you wonder, God, what I wonder why I'm awake?

241
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if anyone else on earth is I am?

242
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking of we have the body hairfast, they

243
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: will last after round twelve. How can we still be here?

244
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: Cleary?

245
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: I just it is.

246
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Enough to keep you up at night. Guys, That's all

247
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I can say.

248
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: And now that you've been like oh so much on

249
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: the sport, I better mention Tory lewis running a national

250
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: record in the one hundred meters.

251
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, Shkerry Richardson was in the race as well. Phenomenal.

252
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Tokyo World Champs and also Sam

253
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: curs back. Sam curves back and she's running around. So

254
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: that's just two Aussie women absolutely killing it. But we

255
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: got four hours for today's podcast because I listened to

256
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: last week's at lav divine you two talking and this

257
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: is so and it's heavy.

258
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: It's NL heavy, it's heavy, it's heavy.

259
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: What's coming up after this?

260
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: We might have some Aussie rules for you.

261
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen.

262
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: By the time today's pod hits your ears, it will

263
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: be that this evening we are about to see one

264
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: of the great finals in AFL history. And but that

265
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this weekend could not be more poised with

266
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: some of the more successful teams that we've ever had

267
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: in Australian rules football going head to head, headlined by

268
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: the Cats taking on the Hawks, who just bloody hate

269
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: each other.

270
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: There's not the way to put that.

271
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: Is there?

272
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: No, no they? Even As someone who came to Ossie

273
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Rules late, I learned very very quickly in a Melbourne

274
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: newsroom the hatred that exists between Geelong and Hawthorne. I

275
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: remember palpable. It is because I remember I had to

276
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: do so many of those Eastern Monday games. Yes, so many,

277
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: it's one a year.

278
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: It feels like a lot, though I was about to

279
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: say it's annual by design.

280
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: But the actual tension that was in the air just

281
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: from fans of either of those teams in the room

282
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: with me palpable.

283
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: And as if that wasn't good enough, on Saturday, we

284
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: have Collingwood taking on Brisbane, who.

285
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I think is a modern day rivalry. Right, Oh honey,

286
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: for me, I grew up hating Collingwood. I know you're

287
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: meant to, but as a Brisbane fan, you know, do

288
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: we really have rights to hate anyone? And I hated Collingwood?

289
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: Do we have rights I hate anyone? You absolutely do. Now,

290
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with my fun fact early.

291
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: So since two thousand and one, yes, sixty percent of

292
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: all premierships in the AFL have been won by these

293
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: four teams. No way, really, Yes, you think the Panthers

294
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: are disgusting? These four god just for twenty five years.

295
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: So these are the most winningest, most prolific teams in

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: the AFL. And we are going to give you the

297
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: most unhinged breakdown as to why we're starting off with

298
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: the Hawks.

299
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: Now, Georgie has married in to the Hawks family.

300
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 2: If not for Emma Race, Robert would be the number

301
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: one ticket holder. He liked to think, so he wears

302
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: enough merch. I can't that you believe that he probably

303
00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: is more involved?

304
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Yes, you would think that he was if not Sam

305
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell at least second too. The Hawks coach like you

306
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: think he's an assistant coach with him out emerged that

307
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: he's rocky.

308
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: You mentioned sam Mitchell.

309
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: A narrative running around this weekend that hasn't got something

310
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: to do with the finals but does have a lot

311
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: to do with sam Mitchell is that sam Mitchell has

312
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: had a lovely.

313
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: Dinner with Zach Merritt. Yes, who is the captain of

314
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: Essendon and.

315
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: By and large their best player is looking like he's

316
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: going to win their Best and Fairest next month and

317
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: may or may not actually go to the awards ceremony

318
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: because this story has blown up. He is a contracted

319
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: player that still has two years left on his contract

320
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: and wants.

321
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: Out and once.

322
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: Away from the club, Essendon as early as last season

323
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: were like, you know what, we're underpaying you. We're going

324
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: to give you a little bit more money. Just they

325
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: didn't have to, but they were like, look we see

326
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: at market value. We're not treating you the way you should.

327
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: He is a little bit more. Here's a little bit

328
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: of this. Brad Scott has had to go on TV

329
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: been like we are he is not for sale. We

330
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: shall not be trading him. The president and the CEA

331
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: have both said absolutely not no. So you've got this captain,

332
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: this leader of a young team and a struggling team

333
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: who haven't won a final since I don't know Jesus

334
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: was a center half back. And now they're in this

335
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: situation where all the leaders of this club have said

336
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: you cannot go anywhere. You've got the captain saying I

337
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: desperately want out in saying that we haven't heard from him,

338
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: but he clearly hasn't come on the front foot to

339
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: say no, I believe in the club.

340
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: So the silence is deafening.

341
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: One do you believe sam Mitchell should be able to

342
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: have dinner with whoever he likes or is this a

343
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: dog act where that's a contracted captain of another club

344
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: you need to leave him alone.

345
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: And second fold, do.

346
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: You think that the Bombers should release Zach Merritt if

347
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: he's that unhappy?

348
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: I think that sam Mitchell can have dinner with whoever

349
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: he wants to. He can have dinner with whoever he

350
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: wants to. And if he decides that that's going to

351
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: be a public dinner and that Zach, it still rocks up.

352
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's on New Zak. That's on New Zach.

353
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: He's landing painted like he's the Antichrist. I'm like, the

354
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: bloke invited someone for dinner. Yeah, and he accepted.

355
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

356
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, as an overall footy world, if I

357
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: was wanting to have private negotiations about my football club,

358
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: potentially that could affect me meeting up with Sam Mitchell.

359
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: But also if I was that keen on playing for

360
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: him and joining his club, it's probably not going to

361
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: stop me. So I think he can have dinner with

362
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: who every wants to.

363
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: This is also in the lens of Sam Mitchell supposedly

364
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: flying to Perth to meet with Oscar Allen, remember who

365
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: was getting a contract West Coast player during the season,

366
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: and the West Coast captain who then had to give

367
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: the most forlorn, sad press conference being like I'm so sorry.

368
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, you're not You're not though, but he

369
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: probably was sorry. He was sorry that everyone was coming

370
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: at him with knives. But I'm like, in any other business,

371
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: everyone's got one eye somewhere, yes, being like, is there

372
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: a better option for me?

373
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: That's just human life.

374
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I think that four And I've heard this argument before.

375
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: It was actually Bob Murphy, who the former Bulldogs captain.

376
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean his a legend, the former Bulldogs legend, who

377
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: said that he just thinks it's a different narrative because

378
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: they're captains. Yes, And I think that that actually might

379
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: hold up for me. I think that if you are

380
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: a captain and you are openly negotiating with another club,

381
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Zach Marrett is slightly different to Oscar Allen because I

382
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: believe Oscar Allen was like a free agent, where Zach

383
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Marrey still has time on his contract. Then that's a

384
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: different ballgame for me. But if he's going to be

385
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: like Sam's like, hello, I'm over here, hot girl at

386
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: the party, what come driving? I dive in, Yeah, thank you,

387
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: then obviously I'm like, okay, well that's on new Zach,

388
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: and now you have to wear whether or not you

389
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: actually got to rock up to the best and fairest

390
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: that you will win because everyone hates you.

391
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: I just love the amount of analysis that would have

392
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: gone into this this week.

393
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: At no point has he been described as the hot

394
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 3: girl at the bar.

395
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: Well, but welcome to sports and I for mine, I

396
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: think we need more of it in AFL.

397
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: But there is a clause in NRAL, where you couldn't

398
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: do this.

399
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: Oh yes, So in the NRL you can have players

400
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: midway through a season be like, look, it's been fun,

401
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: but by this time next year, I'll be playing for

402
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: another team.

403
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: We're all good with that. Let's play on. We've seen it.

404
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: The Pantthers do it.

405
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Very successful, very successfully though, But that.

406
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: Doesn't happen in AFL. So there's all this like quiet

407
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: chat and trade period stuff. But everyone's talking to everyone

408
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: but you supposedly there's a moral compass.

409
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: This is business.

410
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's the case. I far more

411
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: appreciate the NRL approach to it. However, I like the

412
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: drama of the A It's just very very dramatic. Do

413
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: we think, though, with the Hollywood Hawks taking on Geelong,

414
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: do we think that any of what's happening off field

415
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: is going to effect on field?

416
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Nah, I don't know, because if I'm a Hawks player,

417
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, he's trying to get the best players

418
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: I better play really well.

419
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

420
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: I think he's at market.

421
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: For different players to come in and that's a good thing.

422
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: I think that that has been part of the Hawk's

423
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: success this whole season is that they're actually playing out

424
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: of their skin when everything is firing and there on

425
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: song because they know that they can be replaced. They

426
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: know that there's a box He'll a're doing real well,

427
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: like they can just come through and take their spot.

428
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: How do you feel about Zach Merritt if he is

429
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: not released from his contract and now there's other storylines

430
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: going into it where there's been leaks about the fact

431
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: that he said disrespectful things to afoor W players within

432
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: the club. Whether that's true or not, no one knows,

433
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: but apparently Zac's very upset at that storyline. So there's

434
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: just everyone's pointing, you know that Spider Man where everyone's

435
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: pointing a gun at everyone. Everyone's pointing a gun at everyone,

436
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: and everyone's body unhappy. But if they do reach a

437
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: stalemate and he is Kenny captain next year, when he's

438
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: had two teammates come out and say, look, this is

439
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: really disappointing.

440
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: Oh I don't think so. I don't think he'll be

441
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: at the Bombers. There's no way he's like on a

442
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: fast exit strategy. How then my they'll let him go.

443
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: They him.

444
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: We've got players that.

445
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: Are signing for like seven year deals on X amount

446
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: of million dollars.

447
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, but.

448
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: Then is it worth the paper that it's written on.

449
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: So the players get the job security and the financial

450
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: security of knowing, Hey, if I want to, I can

451
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 2: hold them to this. But if I want to, I

452
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: can just be like, I don't want to be here

453
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: anymore and they have to let me go.

454
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: If you're a club, why are you signing players for

455
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: seven years? Yeah?

456
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: I know, that's that's crazy. That's crazy. There is there's

457
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: been as there was a storyline over in the EPL,

458
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: and it happened I think with Liverpool a player from Liverpool.

459
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: I actually I don't remember that. There was a storyline

460
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: in the EPL where this I'm talking trillion dollar man

461
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: decided that he did not want to play anymore and

462
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: so just sat out until he got traded to another club.

463
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: But they still paid him his salary. I'm like, well,

464
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: if you don't want to be there raying for and then.

465
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: There are angry fans calling talkback, be like sit him out,

466
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: telling me he's got to be held to his contract,

467
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: which legally they can do, and put him on the sidelines.

468
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: And I'm like, but then you're paying for someone you're

469
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 3: the best.

470
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: Player, and by that I mean by a country mile.

471
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: Which I think he knows.

472
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: And I think the thing is he's been sold this

473
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: story of success and at the core of this is

474
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: Paul brad Scott having to go on AFL three sixty

475
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: or whatever it was and be like, yes, so he

476
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: came for dinner the other night and we're really close.

477
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, we'll clearly not close enough. So what is

478
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: going on?

479
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: Anyway? So Hawks, Hollywood Hawks only finished eighth, and they

480
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: are just the team that you believe could actually do it.

481
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: I think that they could do it on their day.

482
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: They can beat anyone. On their day, they can beat anyone.

483
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 2: Well, especially when they've got John Newcomb who just decides okay,

484
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: he is a free his last four finals, he's been

485
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: best on ground.

486
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's insane. His performance in finals, I mean

487
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: their game against who'd they play last week?

488
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: Adelaide?

489
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's right, Adelaide, Sorr. I'm so sorry.

490
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: I forgot you already, Adelaid my catcher. What a great

491
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: season from you. Ah for me, you knew that game

492
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: was over in thirteen seconds, that's all it took for

493
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: John to completely just and you were like Adelaide has

494
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: nothing to come back with with it, like they're just done.

495
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: And just decided to be.

496
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: Benjamin Button an amazing resurgence though it away playing in Brisbane,

497
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: coming back playing for the Hawks, and now he's all

498
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: Australian and arguably one of the biggest problems that he's

499
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: facing Geelong is how they're going to stop him.

500
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: In saying all of that. Yes, I think that the

501
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Hawks can be anyone on their day. Do I think

502
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: they're going to beat Geelong in the prelim final?

503
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: No? So if we were going to call Sam Mitchell

504
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: a villainy, Geelong have the AFL's version of Satan running

505
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: around at the moment in terms of public discourse because

506
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: the world's pretty angry at Bailey Smith.

507
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of him.

508
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: The world's pretty angry at Bailey Smith because there were

509
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: photos and you talked about it very eloquently and probably

510
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: a lot more professionally than me calling him Satan last

511
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: week on the pod. But I obviously I don't believe

512
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: that he's Satan. Let's just really backtrack. They can just

513
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: see that Jealmis the actual devil. He said some very

514
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: choice words to a female photographer who was invited by

515
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: the club to the ground just doing a job.

516
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: Flip the bird.

517
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: I've seen enough people give the finger and I'm turning

518
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: into Caro Wilson. Stop dropping the f bomb.

519
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: That was Reese Welsh as well. He did that in

520
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: the camera game got finned eighteen hundred dollars as uside.

521
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: But it started to be a joke and on my

522
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: kids watch.

523
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: This, they do and they'll try and they'll do it

524
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: sentences like I.

525
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 3: Swear like a trooper when I'm not on air.

526
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: Have I ever done it on air? No, because this

527
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: is not on air, that's not on the ABC. It

528
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: doesn't count. You know how to pull up.

529
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: You know how to pull up, we know how.

530
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: To behave yeah, said. The culture of Geelong has long

531
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: been put on a pedestal as this is what you

532
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: should want, this is what you need to emulate to

533
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: achieve amazing on field results. They have had the worst

534
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: look in terms of a culture of a club in

535
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: the last fortnight than nearly any other team in the

536
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: last decade.

537
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: Because Chris Scott twin Brats Brad Scott that we were

538
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: just so the Scott families had a week. Chriscott supposedly

539
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: yelled an AFL staffer who was also female, because there

540
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: was a legally blind journalist in the press conference that

541
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: had a minder, and for whatever reason he took offense

542
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: to that and decided to yell about it.

543
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: It's crazy any sense.

544
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: Doesn't make any sense, and we haven't heard comment from anyone.

545
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: But it's just been a week of real negative press

546
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: around two very key figures of the club.

547
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: But what DeLong do so well is they kind of

548
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: reprimand but they absolutely don't.

549
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: No, they don't. I don't think they do.

550
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: So we had Bailey Smith earlier in the year joking

551
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: about getting on the nose beers as someone who previously

552
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 2: has posted on social media holding a white bag of

553
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: substance next to his face. Gave an apology at the

554
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: time when he was at a previous club. It was

555
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: very oh, well, you've this is just a joke gone wrong,

556
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: isn't it. You just got to let that go, and

557
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: even you know, listening to Patrick Dangerfield being like, oh,

558
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: Bailey's remorseful. He didn't mean to, you know, like we

559
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 2: all just we we clearly just move on and like

560
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: there's just there's a different rule for Geelong seemingly and

561
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: especially they're good players than everywhere else and it just

562
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: breeds success because everyone wants to be there.

563
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to be there. Overnight breaking news is that

564
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: Charlie Kurno from the Carlton Football Club his first list

565
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: of options that he would like to go to rather

566
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: than be at Carlton. Number one is Geelong.

567
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Of course, it is in the same way that Jeremy

568
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: Cameron wanted to go, Like, yeah, they want to go there.

569
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

570
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't know how they keep doing it. It is

571
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: a I think controversial culture at the moment, but they

572
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: do have a winning culture.

573
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Oh, Bailey Smith is likely to be in the top

574
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: three of the Brown line. And I was playing unbelievable football.

575
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: I was at that opening final against Brisbane, the qualifying final,

576
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: and they were unbelievable Geelong. Brisbane did not like I

577
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: know that. In the they suffocated them. Brisbane was not

578
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: in it ever, not in it ever. And that's the

579
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: reigning Premiere. So Geelong have they are on. I think

580
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: they are eyeballing that flag and I just don't I

581
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: don't see them losing. I don't see them.

582
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: I think there's so many parallels between Baileysmith and Reese

583
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: Walsh where they love this noise around them because.

584
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: They are friends. What, Yeah, they're friends. Yeah, they're the

585
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: cross code friendship that everyone needs.

586
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: Have they been perpped leaving a very popular restaurant.

587
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Whenever he's in the Gold Coast because Reese lives there,

588
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: so whenever Bailey's up at the Gold Coast. Yeah, they

589
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: hang out. Oh, of course, of course they do.

590
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: Of course they do.

591
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Of course they do. Do you know what I mean? Like,

592
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: of course they do. I want to have a raise

593
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: an issue with Geelong that I also noted when I

594
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: was in the stands watching that qualifying final, as I've

595
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: watched any Geelong game so far this season. How do

596
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: they continuously field a team of how many players on

597
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: an AFL field in twenty two twenty two? How do

598
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: they feel twenty two players when they literally have one

599
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: person playing seven different positions? Let me bring the evidence.

600
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: This person is that person? Is that person? Is that person?

601
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: Is that person? Is that person? And if you squint

602
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: and put a headband on him?

603
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: Is that person? What? What? These are not different people?

604
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: You can what do you mean?

605
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: What?

606
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: I can understand what they're looking for in the draft,

607
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: like in those what are those those basketball combines.

608
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: It's like how high can you just comes out with

609
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: a bit of a beach, a bit of a tip

610
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: and just relaxes. Those colonels will be down there.

611
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: Charlie Kurno is a headband and you're right a straightener

612
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: away from Geelong.

613
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe that's why they're so successful. It's technically

614
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: a cult.

615
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: I realized that this is an audio platform, guys, and

616
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: so just so you know, that will go up online. However,

617
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: what I showed Jelmy was a slide show.

618
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: Of eight players. Eight players a longish unwashed bob.

619
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: They look exactly the same way with this player is

620
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: look at it. This is Mark Bittsubs, that is Sam Daconing,

621
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: that is Dempsey, this is I want to say, Zach Guthrie.

622
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: Is that his name?

623
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: This is Tom Stewart, that is Bruce Stanley, and this

624
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: is Bailey Smith. But I think we can all agree

625
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: that actually John Smith and poker contest.

626
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: Now someone who previously I'm going to bump around our

627
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: auto here, because someone who previously would have fit into

628
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: that list but had a remarkable transformation on the weekend

629
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: after a year of form that he'd probably liked.

630
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: To leave behind him.

631
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Yep.

632
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: It was ky Lehman.

633
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: He previously could have played for. He was a real

634
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: real we're talking the Lions now. We moved on Saturday

635
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: night and it's the Lions taking on Collingwood. He shaved

636
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: his head and we're not talking like we're talking like

637
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: to the scalp.

638
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep, we are talking Alcarez.

639
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did a full Alcoraz and Lockie Neil, who

640
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: was injured, was speaking pregame and he was like, I

641
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: honestly think it's a mental thing. And I was like,

642
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: meant as in, he'd had a season where he just

643
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: wanted to shake something up. He just wanted to do

644
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: something different, so he shaved his head.

645
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: He went for Brittany. You know I understand that.

646
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: No he did.

647
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: He did what he cut bangs.

648
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: He cut bangs.

649
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: He did the male equivalent of cutting banks.

650
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: When girls go through a breakup or something's they go

651
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: do I'll do I'll get a fringe that'll fucking fix everything.

652
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: And he had a good friend to tell you he

653
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: has shaved his head, and supposedly, supposedly he said, oh,

654
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: the barber went a bit high with the fade, so

655
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: I just said, take it all off, lies, lies, lies, lies,

656
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: he cut bangs, Brittany whatever it was, and going through something.

657
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that game was over so early, and it

658
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: was so sad for me because I loved the sons,

659
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: I loved the narrative. And you know what, They've won

660
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: their final, which when was the last time Essendon won

661
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: a final?

662
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: Unfortunate.

663
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: We could ask Zach Merritt, can you suck? Can you

664
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: sell lines to me though? The winning Yeah, because they're

665
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: without Locky Neil, they're obviously without Dana Hurston said last

666
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: one of flag.

667
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It's a hard cell. It is

668
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: a hard cell for them to go back to back.

669
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: There's nothing Panthers like about them. In all honesty. They're

670
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: limping towards this pre limb because yes, Locke kneels out.

671
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Other than Cam Rayner, there's no one of real dynasism

672
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: that I see on that field being a game changer,

673
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: let alone a game winner. Unfortunately, and I say that

674
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: as a Lions Fanshrofts are amazing. They aren't amazing there,

675
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: that's true. They are amazing and they do have incredible hair.

676
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I did hear a narrative about Kai Lohman's hair that

677
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: he was just getting sick of being confused for an Ashcroft,

678
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: so shaped it all off. I will say that Will

679
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: Ashcroft has some of the greatest hair I've ever seen

680
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: in my life, so we love that for him. I

681
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: they're great that I don't think that they're good enough

682
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: to win a flag back. I hope I'm wrong. I

683
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong. But we just look. Our defense is great,

684
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: our midfield is okay. Forwards, Charlie Cameron is not in

685
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: good form.

686
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: Will your engagement survive a Lions Hawk's final.

687
00:31:51,840 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Yes that insert insert thinking music here, Yes, Yes, because god,

688
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: it would be fun. Now, imagine if what we don't

689
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: think is going to happen happened. Think about the entertainment.

690
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: The Hollywood Hawks up against the Lions, great time.

691
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be if you went, like Robert is the

692
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: sort of person who will go into hiding for a

693
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: week if they if it's if Lions with and Hawks lose,

694
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: won't you won't know where he is.

695
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: That's true. Why would he'd still be in his clothes

696
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: of morning, which you've got football.

697
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: Team, you've got excavated happening under your house.

698
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: It would just bury himself under there and call it

699
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: a day.

700
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think it will happen though, because the

701
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Lions are taking on Collingwood now.

702
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: Collingwood were that team all season that were top of

703
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: the table, daylight than everyone else, and then they decided

704
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: to see It's like when someone sees the finish line

705
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: and just stammers their way there. You know how you

706
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: watch sometimes, especially in Olympics, in longer events, when people

707
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: like start to ease up, oh and all of a

708
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: sudden others come charging home. And that is difference between

709
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: what we've seen with Hawks and Gelong. Hawks have charged

710
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: towards the line. Collingwood stammered their way there. Lost loss

711
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: loss loss bang Bang bank bank bank not great. Yes,

712
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: they've decided to bring the best in finals footy because

713
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: their game against Adelaide they were phenomenal. Now they're in

714
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: a position where supposedly Bobby Hill's not getting a game

715
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: even though that he's available for selection. We saw Darcy

716
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: Moore return to his absolute best against Adelaide in Adelaide,

717
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: and we know the narrative and how much noise was

718
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: going into that game. Yes, Decos for Mine wins the

719
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: brown Low On Monday I agree with you, and if

720
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: he doesn't, and if he doesn't, that makes it.

721
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to clarify which one Josh. Although Josh

722
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: could come close. I'd be sad if Nick doesn't.

723
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: I would be sad if Nick doesn't as well. And

724
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: now I say this with respect because if he doesn't win,

725
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: it probably means that Jordan Dawson from the Adelaide Crows

726
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: wins and I have most recent.

727
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: Anderson there, it's Dawson, Anderson and supposedly Balley Smith.

728
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: I just feel that, as someone who has put a

729
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: video up on social media recently likening Jordan Dawson to

730
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: an analyst that you've got no idea what they do.

731
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, you cannot win a Brown though.

732
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 2: See, I desperately want Jordan Dawson to win because he's

733
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: the only player, active player that we've had on offsiders

734
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: this year. And if we're if and he was delightful

735
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 2: and very generous with his time, and I'm like, if

736
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: you if we're one for one Brownlow medallist, what a time?

737
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? Actually that's it would be like if Harry Grant

738
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: came out won the DLI.

739
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: Like I'd say, two good sports had a thing to

740
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: do with that.

741
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: S that's any to claim by association.

742
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a transponsor.

743
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: It's not even a word.

744
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 2: Also, listeners, if you have missed it, Georgie is playing

745
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: a really fun game.

746
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 3: It's pretty tumultuous on her own.

747
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: Social media where she likens what AFL players would actually

748
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: do based.

749
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: On their jobs. What are their real jobs? Again?

750
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: Analysis that you won't find an AFL three sixty, which is.

751
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Why chef gian Yukim, Are you a finals player or

752
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: are you a whale shark to a guide? These are

753
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: just questions.

754
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 3: It's so fair.

755
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

756
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: You can see him in like the blue shirt, can't you?

757
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: I know, can.

758
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: You with a bookachell necklace?

759
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: Just because you're into men that wear shell necklaces doesn't

760
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: mean you need to bring you come down with you righto. Now.

761
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: When we play the fun game called predictions, you gamously

762
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 2: predicted that the Saints would make Top four last season,

763
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: So this could go anywhere.

764
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's absolutely skewered me though, makes.

765
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 3: It who makes it into the granny and who wins it? Okay?

766
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: And I'll even make a norm Smith medalist.

767
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: Play okay into the Granny. I think it's Geelong Collingwood.

768
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: It hurts me to say that also because their jerseys,

769
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: let's look too similar. I'm sorry, don't come for me.

770
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: They do, So that's those are my grand finalists. I

771
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: think Geelong wins it. And I think that the Norm Smith,

772
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the entire narrative of the year is making

773
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: it be Bailey Smith. But I want to go out

774
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: on a living Saturday.

775
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: To Stuart Tom Stewart.

776
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: Yep, he is a gun. See he is one of

777
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: the seven players that look exactly the same, but he

778
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: is a gun.

779
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: Maybe that's how they confuse the votes.

780
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: Was that him? Who knows which which ones?

781
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: Who's three?

782
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean, my heart wants to say it would be

783
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: amazing if it was Hawks Collingwood. But I actually do

784
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 2: think it's going to be Gelong Collingwood and my norm

785
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: I reckon.

786
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: Collingwood winner. I'm going to go Collingwood and I reckon.

787
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: That's two and three years.

788
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: I know, well that's the thing they've been up there.

789
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: Normally I'll go I'm gonna be the most boring, like

790
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm literally picking odds on everything. I reckon d Well

791
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: it's only Nick day cost me. If Collingwood are to win,

792
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: Nick needs to start. Like if I if I was

793
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: going to go Geelong winning, I would say Jeremy Cameron

794
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 2: for Norm because I think jess Are.

795
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: Would have to kick five.

796
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you're so right. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

797
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: So it's like if then yeah, if colling would win,

798
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 2: then Dekos would have had a day out.

799
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: Do you think that the league universally hates Geelong or

800
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: Collingwood more if you don't go for them, like this

801
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: would be the battle of the most hated teams?

802
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

803
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:18,319
