Speaker 1: Hey, legends, Welcome back to the Mason cock Show. Big
Speaker 1: episode today. Plenty happened in the AFL. The subs, Yes,
Speaker 1: the super subs saved the day for quite a few teams.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend. We had Carlton close nail Boughder loss
Speaker 1: to Adelaide. We're gonna break that down. We also have
Speaker 1: West Coast Eagles get a w on the board. There's
Speaker 1: plenty going on this episode. We have no idea who
Speaker 1: the top it's gonna be, but we're gonna dive into
Speaker 1: this more starting now. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've
Speaker 1: got a big episode. I feel rested. I feel a
Speaker 1: bit rested over the weekend. The weekend off, you know,
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a biewek for the column
Speaker 1: of Football Club. But there was a lot of footy
Speaker 1: on the weekend that we're gonna cover here, but without
Speaker 1: further ado, welcome brighton to the pod.
Speaker 2: Big big week. Last week we were both seek both
Speaker 2: struck down. Rough you a little different to me. You
Speaker 2: had the gastro. I just had the man flu.
Speaker 1: The worst feeling on a flight with gastro. Couldn't think
Speaker 1: of a worse experience, just terrible.
Speaker 2: It's risky. It's like akin to like going through the
Speaker 2: Burnley Tunnel. You get trapped in there. Some people have
Speaker 2: a phobia of trapped places.
Speaker 1: In the West Gate like trap there and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh man, it was so bad when getting to the
Speaker 1: point where you like take off you're allowed to get
Speaker 1: out of your seat or anything, and it kind of
Speaker 1: like hit me. And I looked at the hostess and
Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna need to switch seats. I'm an
Speaker 1: exit row. I swapped seats to the seat next to
Speaker 1: the bathroom because it was that bad. And she was like,
Speaker 1: if you need to get up, you can go. And
Speaker 1: I think you could see it in my face. You
Speaker 1: could just see it and it was coming. And it
Speaker 1: was a rough flight, only an hour hour and a
Speaker 1: half from Adelaide, but yeah, it wasn't great. And then
Speaker 1: you got I had.
Speaker 2: The man flew, which is different. I just had flem
Speaker 2: and stuff coming out, but I didn't have the other stuff,
Speaker 2: didn't have the both ends stuff, which is like there's
Speaker 2: that horror story of the I reckon. It happened last
Speaker 2: year where someone lost it on a plane and they
Speaker 2: filmed it and they was like boo all the way down.
Speaker 1: The hallwaycon for it was just liquid. I could tell
Speaker 1: a story of someone doing that in the car as
Speaker 1: a kid, in my parents' car as a kid. That's
Speaker 1: another story there. But we're going to get into the
Speaker 1: footy broken. We got plenty, but it's sorry to everyone listening.
Speaker 1: There's cringe way to go about this from the beginning.
Speaker 1: But we'll go straight into what we start every podcast
Speaker 1: with the clangers of the week. What do you have?
Speaker 2: Well, I went with Jake Stringer. He's not the clanger.
Speaker 2: I'm not playing Jake Stringer. Jake Stringer had a great
Speaker 2: game on the weekend, and he's been in great form
Speaker 2: this year and consistent. But this one he went up
Speaker 2: and won a free kick for a one v four,
Speaker 2: which is great. You saw all these Bulldogs players coming
Speaker 2: from everywhere and there's Jake one man out, gets the
Speaker 2: free kick, ball, dribbles over to back to Kyle Langford.
Speaker 2: So Stringer was probably a meter outside the goal square.
Speaker 2: You probably want to take that kick, yeah, but Kyle
Speaker 2: Langford gets it, looks at the He's like, yeah, well
Speaker 2: you can play on. He's like okay, looks back, sees
Speaker 2: Jake Stringer in the square. Black that the free kick
Speaker 2: and he's like, come on, yeah, give it, give it,
Speaker 2: it's mine, give it to give it to me, and
Speaker 2: he just dribbles it through Carl lang for just like nah,
Speaker 2: I actually screw you, I want it and just kicks
Speaker 2: the goal and like I mean, Jake Stringer. It took
Speaker 2: a couple of attempts after the game to be like
Speaker 2: he got I reckon. He got interviewed like three times
Speaker 2: and it was like what were you thinking, Like, well,
Speaker 2: you're upset, and he's like, nah, like our goal, team
Speaker 2: goal or whatever. I think BUCKS was going like it
Speaker 2: was a it's really like ess Anon barometer thing, like
Speaker 2: you want the team to be like it's our goal,
Speaker 2: not my goal. And then eventually they got it out
Speaker 2: of him and it's like, mate, I earned it. I
Speaker 2: worked hard for that, Like just give me the ball
Speaker 2: and I would have put it through, but no, he
Speaker 2: had a good game, and I mean leave it, leave
Speaker 2: it to Stringer. It's it's his. He earned it, given
Speaker 2: the ball, given the ball, so he's my clanger is
Speaker 2: car length.
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than seeing well, if you get a
Speaker 1: free kick, some midfielder just grab it, plays on, gets
Speaker 1: smothered and the ball goes back another fifteen. You're like,
Speaker 1: come on, then, I.
Speaker 2: See it with you all the time, like you draw
Speaker 2: a free kick, like miracles happen, and then you'll see
Speaker 2: like Nick Dakos comes through. By the time getting that film,
Speaker 2: you're in the background looking around for like, where's the ball?
Speaker 2: It's my free kick and Nick Dakos is already thirty
Speaker 2: meters away.
Speaker 1: Fifty and I'm still figuring out what's going on.
Speaker 2: They were They're the ones that cost you getting into
Speaker 2: those double figures, like, yeah, the big double figure games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just robbed. What's your I've got one from the
Speaker 1: Richmond West Coast game, which was a big game this week.
Speaker 1: I didn't really expect that, but we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: it later.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I had Harry. Now we all know, very very meticulously
Speaker 1: looked at person at the moment right now number one
Speaker 1: draft picked. Everyone's looking at them going okay, now, this
Speaker 1: whole thing is the matchup of him and Dusty. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the two bulls going out at ball Dusty. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: it just was one of the things they asked him
Speaker 1: was like, oh, if you get a chance, you know,
Speaker 1: do a little finned off the Dusty too. Dusty, what
Speaker 1: you do it? And he's like, yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: assume so. And they pumped it up. They pumped it
Speaker 1: beyond boy.
Speaker 2: You know what was the thing? They interviewed barrass during
Speaker 2: the week and that bloke is loose because his thing,
Speaker 2: this I don't know.
Speaker 1: Pumped him up to be the next guard to football.
Speaker 2: This wouldn't fly at most places. But he's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: at the piss up, he just fights the rucks. It's like,
Speaker 2: what do you mean at the piss up, don't say
Speaker 2: at the piss up he batches the rucks less on
Speaker 2: the piss up.
Speaker 1: Outside down. He's a good player, but not on the weekend.
Speaker 1: And then there was a moment in the contest right
Speaker 1: that he got the ball and Dusties in front of him.
Speaker 1: He kind of like just barely nudges him with the hand,
Speaker 1: and the comte was like, you know, like the DiCaprio
Speaker 1: remember from Wolf Wash over there, and then they're like,
Speaker 1: oh man, he did the Dusty and Dusty incredible, incredible scenes.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I can't believe what I've seen
Speaker 1: with my eyes. It was just a little brush. It
Speaker 1: wasn't really it was it was as if he had
Speaker 1: like literally picked him up and thrown him to the
Speaker 1: ground and done a proper fend off. But it was nothing,
Speaker 1: and it just everyone was just waiting for that moment.
Speaker 1: They just blew it up as media does, to be
Speaker 1: a massive ordeal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was kind of it's like on the
Speaker 2: back pedal falling over and gets the handball out or whatever.
Speaker 2: It was like, he did it. He did it. I
Speaker 2: think it was more impressive last week where he got
Speaker 2: like the record for most broken tackles or whatever, and
Speaker 2: he's like he's a teenager like that. That was insane.
Speaker 2: I want to move this one up from the rundown,
Speaker 2: but the real don't argue that should have got all
Speaker 2: the attention and no one's talking about it. Is I
Speaker 2: call him my key because it's a lot easier to say,
Speaker 2: what's the Mikey lafout.
Speaker 1: Teerful pronouncing right?
Speaker 2: But he absolutely killed a bloke. He like tried to
Speaker 2: jump on him like a jumping spider tackle and he
Speaker 2: just held him in one hand and just threw him
Speaker 2: through the earth. It was theiest like don't argue I've
Speaker 2: ever seen, like ever, And yeah, but everyone just glossed
Speaker 2: over it because they're all looking for the Harley Red
Speaker 2: Dustin Martin like, don't argue, but yeah, so what are
Speaker 2: you giving it to the commentators?
Speaker 1: Oh, you're to the commentators on Harley Reed versus Dusty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get.
Speaker 1: Into the games you got right off the bat. We
Speaker 1: got Melbourne versus Brisbane. You could say this was an upset.
Speaker 1: This is at the MCG, Brisbane known to you know,
Speaker 1: have the fortress up, there comes down away game, Melbourne
Speaker 1: at home and Melbourne takes the l.
Speaker 2: Yeah you could, Yeah, you could say it was an upset.
Speaker 2: It was definitely an upset. I feel like where Brisbane's at.
Speaker 2: Everyone in the commentary around they can't win at the
Speaker 2: G or whatever. And if you look at the score,
Speaker 2: sixty to eighty two, very flat flattering. Melbourne had a
Speaker 2: shot after the siren. They could have brought it back
Speaker 2: to like seventeen. But this was an ass kicking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Brisbane flogged Melbourne like they made them look second rate
Speaker 2: like it was. It was a pretty dominant performance by
Speaker 2: Brisbane and didn't they handle it well because he jumped
Speaker 2: straight into Noah Ainsworth taunting Petty, which is yeah, this
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't forget because forget. This thing came
Speaker 2: up a couple of years ago. We all know the incident.
Speaker 2: Peddy was brought to tears after a taunt and then yeah,
Speaker 2: Noah Ainsworth, who I'm not gonna lie. I had to
Speaker 2: look up to see who he was. I didn't know
Speaker 2: who Noahrainsworth was. Shoot me. I think he's played fifty
Speaker 2: games anyway, he's the big wig out there. He did
Speaker 2: a double taunt, which not a lot of people picked
Speaker 2: up because he was on the you're a big fan
Speaker 2: of on the mark, the mark as well, you like
Speaker 2: the market can't do much anymore? Well, well you could
Speaker 2: say that Petty's kind of gone a bit thin in
Speaker 2: the feather department. I don't think that's not obvious, but
Speaker 2: he's got a bit of a landing patch at the back.
Speaker 2: And Noah Ainsworth was bent over on the mark doing
Speaker 2: circles above his head, going like you're going board back there.
Speaker 2: Then he missed. Then he gave him are you going
Speaker 2: to cry?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: So yeah, it didn't go down well kind of in
Speaker 2: the Brisbane camp, well, at least outwardly. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they celebrated it inwardly, but yeah, it was a
Speaker 2: it was a big game, big win for him. You
Speaker 2: want to see him do it with a bit more respect.
Speaker 2: But lucky Neil, two fifty fifty yea for him? Have
Speaker 2: you you would have been close to him playing in
Speaker 2: the midfield as the ruck. Yeah, how's he go about it?
Speaker 1: He's very good. He's one of those people whenever you
Speaker 1: play against him, it's hit it away from him and
Speaker 1: see where like is on the field, See where he
Speaker 1: is in front of you. Tap it the other direction
Speaker 1: so he can't get it. He's an absolute ball and side.
Speaker 1: I mean two and fifty games to rack that up.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how old he's anything. He's around thirty
Speaker 1: years old, but he's been a start of the game,
Speaker 1: Brola medalist. Obviously he's he's absolutely smashed it. So two
Speaker 1: and fifty games hak him accomplishment? Chaired off at the end, rightfully.
Speaker 1: I know we have this whole thing of like one
Speaker 1: hundred hundred and fifty two hundred, what do we chair off?
Speaker 1: What do we do extra? All these kind of stuff
Speaker 1: that we always contemplate. But two fifty I got the
Speaker 1: clap off, which was pretty cool. And you know, to
Speaker 1: win a game that probably a lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: expect you to win massively awesome, awesome experience, one who'll
Speaker 1: look back on.
Speaker 2: Finally, Okay, so the chair ride for two fifty, I said,
Speaker 2: not massive on it, but if it depends where they
Speaker 2: are in their career, if you see him winding up
Speaker 2: or whatever. Both teams did the guard of honor for
Speaker 2: the chair ride. I don't see that. I don't think
Speaker 2: two point fifty your Melbourne. Right, you're Melbourne. You just
Speaker 2: got flogged on your home deck and you're going over
Speaker 2: to be like, well done mate, thanks for flogging us,
Speaker 2: great job. I can't believe that the Melbourne fans aren't
Speaker 2: sitting there going yeah, good one, lucky Neil, like they're
Speaker 2: not sticking behind.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's many Melbourne fans.
Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't think so. But yeah, it looked like
Speaker 2: Melbourne were really limping towards that. By I reckon, they're
Speaker 2: going to have to look back at the decision for
Speaker 2: this zero round because I reckon a lot of teams
Speaker 2: that started the week earlier kind of limping towards this
Speaker 2: by period. We saw it with a couple of teams
Speaker 2: on the weekend. Collingwood were kind of lucky to get
Speaker 2: across the line in the end against Hawthorne.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of those teams that played
Speaker 1: the Round zero were teams that made the finals and
Speaker 1: had a longer season except Yeah, so it's kind of
Speaker 1: an interesting thought process behind that of like you have
Speaker 1: a shorter offseason, then the other teams that didn't make
Speaker 1: finals that wouldn't be in Round zero. Yeah. If you
Speaker 1: look at the teams that kind of played in that
Speaker 1: first or the zero round, most of those were teams
Speaker 1: that they wanted to kind of build anticipation, build kind
Speaker 1: of a big crowd and hype around you know, them
Speaker 1: playing in that first game. So you can't see both
Speaker 1: sides of it. But yeah, Melbourne bye week next week.
Speaker 1: I think Richmond also has a bye week next week,
Speaker 1: so a bit of refreshers for them. But we'll move
Speaker 1: into the next game. Western Bulldogs versus Essendon. Now we
Speaker 1: talked about Jake Stringer massive game, Yeah, and this one.
Speaker 1: Western Bulldogs is probably the story out of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I feel like I've been saying it forever,
Speaker 2: but it's got to be the most frustrating team in
Speaker 2: the camp if you go for him and you look
Speaker 2: at their list and what they've got, They've got one
Speaker 2: of the most.
Speaker 1: You're saying Western Bulldogs is more frustrating than the North Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, like, if you're a North Melbourne fan, you
Speaker 2: know what you're in for, you expect, you're expecting it.
Speaker 2: Bulldogs fans are like up and about there. You know,
Speaker 2: the projection was top eight, probably a chance to go
Speaker 2: for top four depending on their back line is probably
Speaker 2: the question marks. But like the Ford line is like human.
Speaker 2: Like they've got Rory lob who they paid money and
Speaker 2: got on a contract and he's playing in the VFL.
Speaker 2: They got Sam Darcy, They've got Jamara hugil Hagen, They've
Speaker 2: got Aaron Norton, Like, they got Cody Weightman at their feet.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty crazy forward line just kick it in there.
Speaker 2: Just but their midfield, Like they've dropped McCrae. He came
Speaker 2: back in. They got the bond. They got Adam Trelaw,
Speaker 2: who doesn't get any plaudits for a bloke that's going
Speaker 2: out there and getting thirty seven and kicking at least
Speaker 2: a goal a week. They got Liba who's in like
Speaker 2: career best form. Somehow, I don't know how he is
Speaker 2: English as a rock like Tim English all the current
Speaker 2: all Australian ruckman. So you're looking at that and you're going, okay,
Speaker 2: like maybe the back line like they got Liam Jones
Speaker 2: down back, Gerree down back, like they got some like
Speaker 2: experience down there. People are talking about maybe moving the
Speaker 2: astronaut back, so which is where he played all his
Speaker 2: junior footing. Anyway, Like you look at that and you go,
Speaker 2: they should be good, and you've they should have been
Speaker 2: good for the past every year since twenty sixteen really
Speaker 2: and they're just not getting it done. And it's and
Speaker 2: you can already feel it if you're a fan. I'm
Speaker 2: not even like a Bulldog supporter, and I look at this, going, yeah,
Speaker 2: where dude, the exact same season we had every other
Speaker 2: season where we'll beat a really good team and then
Speaker 2: we'll lose to a mid team and we'll struggle against
Speaker 2: a low team and then we'll beat a good team.
Speaker 2: Like they're out. The perform they put against Geelong last
Speaker 2: week was like outstanding. One team just had to win that,
Speaker 2: and unfortunately for the Bulldogs it was Geelong. And then
Speaker 2: this week like essenon, you knew they were going to
Speaker 2: be on because they stunk it up the week before
Speaker 2: they like, so you knew the pressure was coming, and
Speaker 2: then they just didn't show up. They just didn't show up.
Speaker 2: Only he struggled, he got seventeen. Liber was quiet, and
Speaker 2: then there was an incident with liber where yeah, he
Speaker 2: got tackled really hard by Jake Stringer. Then he went in,
Speaker 2: got a hard ball, did this three sixty, got the
Speaker 2: ball out, and not too long after that it kind
Speaker 2: of looked he just fell over pretty much face first down.
Speaker 2: Beverage came out after the game saying, yeah, he lost
Speaker 2: his footing. I think they're talking about an ankle issue. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it just didn't look good. Have you seen the incident?
Speaker 1: I have, and it was somewhat jarring. I think with
Speaker 1: all the kind of talk I ker cushion and everything else,
Speaker 1: and for him just kind of stumble hit the ground
Speaker 1: after kind of contests, you automatically think, right, like, he's
Speaker 1: probably had his head hit at some point in a
Speaker 1: nice minute, and yeah, he kind of I think he'd
Speaker 1: come out and the logs of someone said that he
Speaker 1: had an ankle issue and they kind of blame on that,
Speaker 1: and then he went to concussion protocols and I think
Speaker 1: he might be missing this week, but you there's so
Speaker 1: much I guess attension around it. Obviously that's going to
Speaker 1: come out, and the vision of it looked, you know,
Speaker 1: quite nasty, like of just someone kind of looking normal
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it kind of hits
Speaker 1: him and then he just kind of like stumbles and
Speaker 1: falls over. I think that's it's not great vision to see,
Speaker 1: and I think obviously like the media saw that, and
Speaker 1: you know, that came out as obviously a talking point
Speaker 1: for the week. But hopefully he's all right. I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure obviously the direction it's kind of gone as
Speaker 1: far as his health, but you know, we always say
Speaker 1: prayers up for this kind of stuff because you know
Speaker 1: it is something that can be an issue for a
Speaker 1: long time. But yeah, Libaz's been playing really well over
Speaker 1: the year. He's hilarious on the front bire the other
Speaker 1: day if you saw it, so but yeah, hopefully he's okay.
Speaker 1: But it was quite concerning vision. I think that kind
Speaker 1: of came out of this game and probably one of
Speaker 1: the biggest talking points. I know, the Western Bulldogs didn't
Speaker 1: probably play up to the potential they wanted to, but
Speaker 1: I still think that they're a good team. I know,
Speaker 1: like everyone's other comments, but like we're five or six
Speaker 1: games into this season and there's still a lot to
Speaker 1: play out. I don't we all have these stress and
Speaker 1: anxiety around teams playing well not playing well, like Geelong's
Speaker 1: the undefeated and you know, whatever it may be. But
Speaker 1: like you were saying, I look at their list and
Speaker 1: I was like, they're capable to do whatever they want
Speaker 1: to do, and they can. It's really up to them
Speaker 1: in the direction they're going to take as far as
Speaker 1: whether they make the eight or night. And I think
Speaker 1: this is a one off, hopefully experience for them, losing
Speaker 1: to Essendon in that way that they'll learn from and
Speaker 1: move on and be able to be better from it.
Speaker 2: I hope for Bulldogs fans, you're right, but I think
Speaker 2: it's a tail we've all seen too much. There was
Speaker 2: a let's not take away from Essendon because they came
Speaker 2: out and I feel like a blip for them was
Speaker 2: last week where you know, they had that really down
Speaker 2: performance and there's no kind of you know, glossing over that.
Speaker 2: But I feel like they're starting to build that edge
Speaker 2: that they call it. But just pressure, it's it's really
Speaker 2: just pressure's gas pressure, tackles, get in their face and yeah,
Speaker 2: it's great. And they threw a couple of kids in
Speaker 2: like Ji Caldwell, but in particular Sam Durham, and I
Speaker 2: told the kids they're not kids, but like young younger players.
Speaker 2: You normally fall back on your senior players that have
Speaker 2: proven it and done it before. But they threw Durham
Speaker 2: in there against Bond like going one on like head
Speaker 2: to head, finished with seventeen, but Durham went really well
Speaker 2: finished in the twenties for touches six clearances, like yeah,
Speaker 2: so there's exciting signs for Essen and they still don't
Speaker 2: have two meter Peter. He's going to come back in,
Speaker 2: but he's going to slot in there with big Jakie Stringer.
Speaker 2: I reckon, it's just string as paddic, just get out
Speaker 2: of way. Todd Goldstein is like the Goldstein kind of experiment,
Speaker 2: if you will. As I reckon, it's been really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of question marks around that whether he'd
Speaker 1: be able to play forward, and yeah, I think he's
Speaker 1: just providing that contest and then letting their smiles get
Speaker 1: to get to there. And that's sometimes what you need
Speaker 1: from a big man, so be able to bail out
Speaker 1: to them.
Speaker 2: Exciting times for Essenon fans are head.
Speaker 1: I just we talked about it and made a few little,
Speaker 1: you know movements, moved the Magnets a bit, got a
Speaker 1: few different people in, made some trades, most active in
Speaker 1: the off season. I felt like, and now they're kind
Speaker 1: of seeing the fruition of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just compete.
Speaker 1: We'll move into the next game. We got jobs versus
Speaker 1: Saint Kilda, the one point thriller for your boys, but
Speaker 1: not without some concerns.
Speaker 2: Did you see I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 2: I think it was on bounce after the game. I
Speaker 2: think it was in Canberra this game. So and it
Speaker 2: was they're like, oh, we'll catch the flight or whatever.
Speaker 2: We're probably going to lose this game down by a
Speaker 2: fair bit Saint Kilda at the time. Yeah, so their team,
Speaker 2: as you do, admin staff started pulling all the you know,
Speaker 2: the brand down off the wall and then as Saint
Speaker 2: Kilda just kept kicking goal, go, go go, they realized
Speaker 2: they were within a goal with a couple of minutes left,
Speaker 2: so they putting the back up. We might have might
Speaker 2: have the media in the rooms post game, but yeah,
Speaker 2: St Kilda did well to fight it out Cameriti kicked
Speaker 2: a goal with forty seconds to go that kind of
Speaker 2: gave them a chance. And then it was the super Subpetling. Ye,
Speaker 2: a lot of good subs this week, which we'll get to,
Speaker 2: but Peteling going back with the flight, like flat out
Speaker 2: back with the flight, took a diving mark. It was
Speaker 2: what a throwback. Brett Kirk two thousand and five Grand Final,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, threw himself back, took the mark and then
Speaker 2: double leg cramped up. I don't know if that was
Speaker 2: just a bit of acting to delay the clock, but
Speaker 2: it was very much that. For all those Sydney two
Speaker 2: thousand and five fans, you'll remember that well, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was a great game GWS though a
Speaker 2: lot of injuries, a lot.
Speaker 1: Of injuries we got. Sam Taylor had is one of
Speaker 1: the big kind of concerns out of that camp. Obviously
Speaker 1: massive for them in their back line. One of the
Speaker 1: best defenders in the game under concussion protocols knocked himself
Speaker 1: out and we're going to be out for a while,
Speaker 1: so it.
Speaker 2: Was unconscious for a bare amount of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was concerning for sure.
Speaker 2: He was going for a spoil and it looked like
Speaker 2: a clasher heads and then he was just out for
Speaker 2: a long time. There was a bit of talk because
Speaker 2: Kingsley was coaching from the boundary line and when that
Speaker 2: all happened, obviously the protocols kicking the place, they come
Speaker 2: out with the cart like safety precautions. He was able
Speaker 2: to just rally his team to the boundary line and
Speaker 2: give him a bit of a speech to be like,
Speaker 2: get out there, go do this. Rossie. He's up in
Speaker 2: the box big and he's running down so essentially that.
Speaker 2: But it took him. They timed it. It took him
Speaker 2: about two and a half minutes to get from the
Speaker 2: box down to the ground. So Kingsley's got the head
Speaker 2: start on him, you can say a lot two and
Speaker 2: a half minutes, so they reckon it's an unfair advantage.
Speaker 1: It would make me laugh more than seeing Rossie doing
Speaker 1: stadium stairs CG practing for this the MCG.
Speaker 2: It would have taken him about five minutes. It's quite
Speaker 2: a hike at the MCG. If you ever sat in the.
Speaker 1: Box, yeah, I've asked here and I was told about.
Speaker 2: The living the on the bucks. But they also had Canelio,
Speaker 2: Kelly Briggs all injured in the game, All big dogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, solid, he looks solid.
Speaker 2: Man, He's like, I don't know, he just big. He's
Speaker 2: just like a midfielder, bit bigger, thick, thick points thick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a few injuries out of that one, we'll move
Speaker 1: on to the next one. This is a thriller, now
Speaker 1: this I did watch this game and it was I
Speaker 1: feel like the game of the round.
Speaker 2: It was fun.
Speaker 1: Carlton versus Adelaide. Going into this game. Look, I think
Speaker 1: we said it last week, Adelaide, good luck.
Speaker 2: Second to piss. We said, get it out of the thirties.
Speaker 2: If you could score the forties fifties, we'll be laughing.
Speaker 2: They scored a one hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, scored one hundred, which was two points more than
Speaker 1: the Carlton Football Club. Now Carlton being undefeated obviously going
Speaker 1: into this game, a lot of people looked at it
Speaker 1: as a shoeing of a w on the on the
Speaker 1: win column. But yeah, they get the lost versus outlaid
Speaker 1: over at Marvel Stadium and there was one person that
Speaker 1: saved the game at the end, all X player ex
Speaker 1: teammate of mine, Mark Kean, the Irishman.
Speaker 2: How good, Oh he's gone clock, he's playing some good footy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he got I know, god, I think he
Speaker 1: had a head knocker in the year. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: come back over an Adelaid. He's proven himself and he's
Speaker 1: gone pretty well. So shout out to LLIKENI.
Speaker 2: Good kick, big big body, big body.
Speaker 1: We used to get in scuffles in training quite a bit.
Speaker 1: A few but a few separations between myself and Keeny
Speaker 1: from other teammates.
Speaker 2: Bring up like a stat you know, like there's a
Speaker 2: stat that always gets I don't know who the statistic
Speaker 2: statisticians are that work at some of these like broadcasters,
Speaker 2: But how can they bring up one and then like
Speaker 2: everyone runs with it? And they last week when Adelaide
Speaker 2: got pumped and they only scored thirty, they brought up
Speaker 2: a stat and was like, oh, apparently Adelaide win like
Speaker 2: a hundred percent of games they score one hundred in
Speaker 2: and then they lose games that they don't score one
Speaker 2: hundred in and it's like, no shit, Like I score
Speaker 2: a hundred, any team's probably gonna win like one hundreds
Speaker 2: of pretty high score to get.
Speaker 1: So I think it took through the statistics to find
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 2: I don't know what genius dragged that one out, but
Speaker 2: here we go Adelaide one hundred and they got the
Speaker 2: win over one hundred on the dot. Look at that.
Speaker 2: Go but Tons came out of this. Another super sub,
Speaker 2: Sam Berry came on kicked the match winner. He's got
Speaker 2: the noodle hairs, the straw. Yeah, he's very good, very good,
Speaker 2: very very good.
Speaker 1: Shake your head like everyone else is from very good.
Speaker 2: To very bad. Because we got always who had a
Speaker 2: chance to win the game for Carlton running it and
Speaker 2: I reckon. Every Carlton fan was already celebrating because they're
Speaker 2: the tight game Kings, They're the new Collingwood as they
Speaker 2: like to call themselves. And and he's got the run
Speaker 2: in and he kicked that much grass. He was I
Speaker 2: don't know what he was. It was rough. He was
Speaker 2: kind of under pressure, but he was really running into
Speaker 2: what's an open goal square and just kicked all the
Speaker 2: grass and unfortunately couldn't get Carlton across.
Speaker 1: The marble.
Speaker 2: Sneaks up on you. There was more incidents out of
Speaker 2: this because Matt Crouch coming in like a freight train
Speaker 2: elbow tucked, lined him up, put him in his sights
Speaker 2: headshot bang, And he gets a week for almost putting
Speaker 2: someone in a wheelchair, which so I don't know where
Speaker 2: we're at with that. I won't well, hard ball get
Speaker 2: implies that you're going for the ball.
Speaker 1: You see.
Speaker 2: That's the problem because that crouch was all Man killed
Speaker 2: him and then the ball was just there by circumstances
Speaker 2: like oh beauty, no one wants this goes So yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know a week for that seems like a
Speaker 2: massive missed opportunity. I don't want to like put players
Speaker 2: in it. You could take the names out of it,
Speaker 2: but just that that action, terrible, terrible action that could
Speaker 2: result in massive long term damage and just the lucky
Speaker 2: fact that it didn't shouldn't excuse the action. You should
Speaker 2: go none of that. That's stupid and get that out
Speaker 2: of our game. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: You have to be cautious obviously, like if you go in,
Speaker 1: you know, at pace like you did, like you have
Speaker 1: to make sure you get body like you can't. You can't.
Speaker 1: If you miss it, it's going to be weeks, you
Speaker 1: know to that point. So it is one of those
Speaker 1: things obviously, like the faster you go, the harder the
Speaker 1: HiT's going to be. So if you really kind of
Speaker 1: or you know, there's that moment in footy where the
Speaker 1: balls like kind of someone else's probably like sixty forty right,
Speaker 1: and you're kind of off and you're like going at
Speaker 1: full pace and you're like, well, I don't want to
Speaker 1: back out of this, but I still want to go
Speaker 1: for the ball, and you kind of smash them to
Speaker 1: the man. At the same time, you have to make
Speaker 1: sure you kind of get that body whenever you hit it. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's obviously we talked about every week. Anything that's head
Speaker 1: high now is going to be looked at as a week,
Speaker 1: and yeah, this is a This was one of the
Speaker 1: I guess question marks over the weekend was this crush bump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I think was the telltale signs. Where
Speaker 2: as fans you get told to look for the telltale signs,
Speaker 2: Like with a bump, what do you do? Don't leave
Speaker 2: the ground, You don't leave the ground it you don't
Speaker 2: hit the head. If you hit the head and you've
Speaker 2: left the ground, telltale sign, you're going to get weeks. Well,
Speaker 2: this was you're coming in. You know you're going to
Speaker 2: be second to the ball, so you've got to adjust
Speaker 2: your action on the way in. He didn't do that
Speaker 2: and only got a week I still feel like it
Speaker 2: should have been more anyway, plenty out of this text.
Speaker 2: Walker kicked for the text in a text that's not it.
Speaker 2: That's not a bag, is it?
Speaker 1: F four five? Also Kroner kicked four. Rankin kicked three
Speaker 1: twenty three touches.
Speaker 2: But his game was good dynamic Rankins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that one on the line. It kind
Speaker 1: of looked like Carlton had it and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it got like bubbled out the back and
Speaker 1: he's just thrown it on his boot and kicked it
Speaker 1: through the line.
Speaker 2: He's slowly like we he's always had those flashes of
Speaker 2: like freaking brilliance, but like it was more about consistency,
Speaker 2: and he's putting in one hell of a season so far, consistent,
Speaker 2: even though Adelaide's been a bit down. Now, your boy
Speaker 2: Sam Wash tell us about his game because it was
Speaker 2: he for everyone who doesn't know, he's been out with
Speaker 2: a broken back. As Mike Tyson would say, it's it's spiny,
Speaker 2: it's finals. So yeah, he's been done buried. Anyway, he
Speaker 2: comes back and I think he has an okay game.
Speaker 1: Thirty four touches, thirteen tackles, eight clearances. I think he
Speaker 1: could tick that as a good game. Thirteen tackles, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: that's solid.
Speaker 2: Some point, maybe around the eight tackle mark, you've got
Speaker 2: to be looking at your teammates. Gone, Am I the
Speaker 2: only one out here tackling?
Speaker 1: Do we go triple doubles here?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Do you do that on basketball? You do triple doubles?
Speaker 1: But I feel like in footy, if you're getting over
Speaker 1: ten tackles, like you should be looking at the triple double.
Speaker 2: Ringed more clearances.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, But now he had an amazing
Speaker 1: game on return. A lot of Carlton fans out there
Speaker 1: waiting for this guy to come back and play for him.
Speaker 1: So he is a big part of their machine and
Speaker 1: what they go or how they go about it. So
Speaker 1: it was good to see him back doing it at
Speaker 1: his best, and it was an important game for him
Speaker 1: to be back.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they lost, but he's definitely one of the reasons
Speaker 1: they were still in this game.
Speaker 2: So it's crazy the game that he had. And then
Speaker 2: you had kern O kicking four, Harry kick two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, still they look it's still takes. At the end,
Speaker 1: it was back forth, back forth, back forth, back forth.
Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me like, sorry, Collingwood versus Essen
Speaker 1: and Jamie kicks it on the siren. I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking like this might happen, like whether it's
Speaker 1: Adelaide or it's Carlton, and I always thinking whenever he
Speaker 1: hit the ground, I was like, oh, this might be
Speaker 1: the seiler, you know, and then misses it and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden Adelaide goes down to the other end.
Speaker 1: It was just it was an intense game where it
Speaker 1: was close one way, then close the other one, and
Speaker 1: then close one mind and then close the other way,
Speaker 1: and back and forth, back and forth. It was entertaining
Speaker 1: to watch.
Speaker 2: I did have the Collingwood feeling there for a moment
Speaker 2: where it was like Adelaide kicked the goal with Sam
Speaker 2: Berry and then I was like, there's there's too much
Speaker 2: time on Carlton's going to get it done, and they
Speaker 2: just couldn't get it done because Alwa's Ally's ah. But
Speaker 2: we go into the Gold Coast this one. We go
Speaker 2: into the Gold Coast game because your boys, your boys
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast. Look at this, I don't know correlation causation.
Speaker 2: They scored over one hundred oh and they won.
Speaker 1: One hundred and nine to fifty six. That's weird. Hawthorn
Speaker 1: signs up on Hoday. We're going well, we're going. Well,
Speaker 1: it's gold so called the Gold Coast Son's Community. I
Speaker 1: don't even say this correctly.
Speaker 2: It's so much Gold Coast Son's community because something can
Speaker 2: be wrong, some Dwayne Russell's Sea bomb action could come out.
Speaker 2: But we had a super sub again, Yeah, we had
Speaker 2: Dave Swallow, absolute veteran for the club at this stage,
Speaker 2: came on and kicked three goals in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a nice little top up right, get
Speaker 1: off from by a decent amount, and you're going, that's
Speaker 1: good to kind of come in. You know, the game
Speaker 1: is pretty much ready to go, ready to steal up.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get a few out the backs.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're one of these super subs that
Speaker 2: come on, you're Sam Berry or your David Swallow when
Speaker 2: you're winning the game or you're kicking three in the
Speaker 2: last quarter, you know how the subs have to do
Speaker 2: that extra running.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was going to say. This is
Speaker 1: the best part of like coming on and being that sub.
Speaker 1: You know you don't have to do the running after. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you don't have to do the top up stuff
Speaker 1: after you're not sitting there while everyone's in the background
Speaker 1: doing the post came interviews and stuff, and you're doing
Speaker 1: laps around the MCG just getting extra KZM because only
Speaker 1: ran three during the game. That's the best part of
Speaker 1: getting activated as a sub with plenty of time life.
Speaker 2: That's what I reckon. If you're Sam Berry, You're like, mate,
Speaker 2: I'm tired from winning the game. I can't be out
Speaker 2: there doing the extra running. King came on, kicked four,
Speaker 2: four close to a bag, could have been huge. Four
Speaker 2: is still good.
Speaker 1: We like four.
Speaker 2: Noah Anderson thirty six and a goal that's delicious. Guinea watch.
Speaker 2: We always look at Guinea gin. He kicked his goal
Speaker 2: on the run. Nice little it's a snap, I guess
Speaker 2: from about forty ourt big one and then through the
Speaker 2: dart even though his team was getting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought flogged. You told me it was a
Speaker 1: dart today, I thought it was a beer pong that
Speaker 1: was just a bit more lafted like a beer pong.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a different dart to the Collingwood. The
Speaker 2: Collingwood dart was like a real luper. This one was
Speaker 2: more of a straight like dart. But it didn't help
Speaker 2: because they got pumped and sam Mitchell came out and
Speaker 2: you could just tell he's like, this is the moment
Speaker 2: where coaching really kicks in, and he was Flatter's attack
Speaker 2: and it was just disappointing. So it's probably the worst
Speaker 2: performance the boys are put up in his time, I think,
Speaker 2: or even quite some time. But yeah, Gold Coast Sons
Speaker 2: all for the winners here, big win. You don't want
Speaker 2: to go up there at the what do you call
Speaker 2: like the It's I like the Portress because it makes sense,
Speaker 2: but the sun. If you go up and versus the Sons,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get burned. Something. We'll work.
Speaker 1: We'll go to the next game. That port versus three.
Speaker 1: Now Port Adelai got the three point win over three
Speaker 1: or sixty six to sixty three, and this was another
Speaker 1: class one. Jason Hornan Francis kicked the game winner a
Speaker 1: little snap around the corner. Interviewed after the game, it feel,
Speaker 1: you know, how are you feeling in the moment? You know,
Speaker 1: he goes, I was hooping myself, which now I think
Speaker 1: it was not ring for another word. That starts with
Speaker 1: shi and then finishes with something else.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're like, we're fine with shitting, We're fine.
Speaker 1: Chair seven. I was like, just make sure no cussing kids.
Speaker 2: Still, I reckon, I'm more disgusted by pooping.
Speaker 1: Really, this is a weird word. But yes, he did
Speaker 1: close the game out for a massive moment, got the
Speaker 1: steeler for him and Jason. Horn Francis a lot of
Speaker 1: media attention of over him over the last kind of
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I think now he's really kind
Speaker 1: of starting to blossom as a footballer and everyone's looking
Speaker 1: at him as the real deal. I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of questions obviously the North Melbourne and stuff and
Speaker 1: then coming over to Port Adelaide and a lot of
Speaker 1: criticism on the way it kind of was all handled,
Speaker 1: but I think now you're looking at it and you're
Speaker 1: seeing how he's playing on. Yeah, that was probably the right,
Speaker 1: right decision.
Speaker 2: I think it's win win in the end. If you
Speaker 2: look at it, horn Francis is like, he's already really good.
Speaker 1: Now. You know. My favorite part about horn Francis is
Speaker 1: his name. I like, Horney Frank sucks up the double socks,
Speaker 1: old school look, man, I'm all for it. Credit to him.
Speaker 1: I know you're listening.
Speaker 2: We were talking about Luckyman either doesn't need to. We
Speaker 2: were talking about Lucky Neil before and he said that
Speaker 2: he has to get the low socks because he can't
Speaker 2: fit the big socks over his calves big cars.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And I think Tomahawk's in that same boat, like big
Speaker 2: calves can't fit the full socks. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: who's the biggest calves down at the Pires.
Speaker 1: Big cars was the biggest star, just big tree trunks.
Speaker 1: Another one came out of this the Dixon back and
Speaker 1: forth with Ken Heinckley.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Hinkers and I think he knows how
Speaker 2: to fire the big beast up because he just went
Speaker 2: down there and he was prodding him. You could see
Speaker 2: him at the break and he was just there was
Speaker 2: a bit of back and forth mainly one way from
Speaker 2: Ken Hinckley, and then you could see Charlie turned around
Speaker 2: and there's steam coming out of his nose and out
Speaker 2: of his ears, and Ken Hinckley turned around with a smile.
Speaker 1: Exactly what.
Speaker 2: He just prodded, the poked the bear and then sent
Speaker 2: him out there.
Speaker 1: It's like you just put gasoline on the five.
Speaker 2: The defender lining up on Charlie Dixon and you see
Speaker 2: him come back just steam and you're like, I thought,
Speaker 2: I held him pretty quiet to this point.
Speaker 1: It's probably one of those things where you go for
Speaker 1: the handshake and trol just gone for them. We're back
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: But I love it. I love Charlie Dixon. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he responded, had a good game after that point. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I think Hinkers knows how to get the best out
Speaker 2: of his.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's had quite a bit of time with Charlie,
Speaker 1: so I know he would know his his character well
Speaker 1: and what kind of makes him hyped up and what
Speaker 1: kind of you know, there's different players need different kind
Speaker 1: of love, right, do different stuff for each part? Yeah
Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, different stuff for different players. He wouldn't
Speaker 1: have a crack of me unless I really deserved it.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, and I have got this, not
Speaker 1: like a crazy spray. I think of the sprays of
Speaker 1: like you know, some of the other people I've seen
Speaker 1: throughout history of AFL, and it's not it's not those,
Speaker 1: it's not the Paul Ruse on the phone you know
Speaker 1: you down, but yeah, it's it's different for each player.
Speaker 1: I think I'm probably more of the relaxed, chilled out one.
Speaker 1: I think it's also because whenever you yell at me,
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like, yeah, yeah, okay, alright, cool,
Speaker 1: I got you. I'll do that.
Speaker 2: I'm try. No, you can't, let's coach.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can yell at me all you want. It's not
Speaker 2: going to make me better. It's like I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: I'm trying my travel. I don't have the levels still
Speaker 2: like as some other angry bloke comes out and just
Speaker 2: starts ripping people.
Speaker 1: I do love it that Brazi always comes up to
Speaker 1: me pregame and like gets me hyped up because he's
Speaker 1: one of those us you could hype up like if
Speaker 1: you just give them a little bit, and he goes
Speaker 1: full fledged with it.
Speaker 2: I like the guys that are like I'll show you,
Speaker 2: they're the easiest to coach because you go, mate, you're
Speaker 2: having the ship turns around.
Speaker 1: We'll go on to the next Max Geelong versus North Melbourne.
Speaker 1: That cats undefeated.
Speaker 2: Now like and not even like killing it. They're doing
Speaker 2: it pretty easy. To be fair, I haven't had the
Speaker 2: hardest run to this point. So there's there's still there's
Speaker 2: two undefeated teams left and I feel like Geelong they've
Speaker 2: got a couple of testers to come up and we'll
Speaker 2: see where they're really at. We've been saying that about
Speaker 2: a few teams like Essenon and Saint Kilda. Was still
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of stuff of like you know, teams you think would
Speaker 1: win losing and there's still a lot to be kind
Speaker 1: of filtered out. I feel like there's not a clear
Speaker 1: top eight. No by no means a ship.
Speaker 2: No, it's still going. So Geelong absolutely murdered North Jazz
Speaker 2: Cameron obviously is always going to be the main culprit
Speaker 2: because Hawkins out. Hawkins out late. So Jazz kicked six
Speaker 2: twenty one disposals eleven score involvements, so he pretty much
Speaker 2: touched everything that led to a score. But to be
Speaker 2: fair to it, what do we say for Jezza, Oh
Speaker 2: Jezz the when he did the Grand Final and his
Speaker 2: celebration of the best celebration, got it in super slow motion.
Speaker 1: Be even better if you actually did it to a
Speaker 1: beer on the sidelines. I mean they were up by
Speaker 1: that much from I think you could have.
Speaker 2: I think he's talked about it before, but when he
Speaker 2: cracked it in slow mo, although it's not a real can.
Speaker 2: I feel like you could see front it was it
Speaker 2: was that. Yeah, so I don't know everything he touched
Speaker 2: turned the gold and yeah, I don't know. I think
Speaker 2: this is more of like North. I feel should be
Speaker 2: further down the path, like they've been rebuilding for multiple
Speaker 2: coaches and multiple years. Now we need to see a
Speaker 2: bit more promise they've got. It's not like they're just
Speaker 2: running out there with like soup cans. Like they've got
Speaker 2: a pretty good young list. So we will see fluctuations,
Speaker 2: but we need to see some upward trajectory. We need
Speaker 2: to see some wins. I feel bad for, you know,
Speaker 2: like poor Ben McKay who's now across it Essendon. He
Speaker 2: played for nine years and had eight wins. Mate, Oh
Speaker 2: that's so rough. So he's probably going to cover that
Speaker 2: in one year with Essen n that's crazy. And now
Speaker 2: like North is still there, like they're still there. It's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it must be painful for their senior players that
Speaker 2: are like, come on, we need these kids to start blossoming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to be as a senior player there
Speaker 1: you'd be going, okay, well, we always are refreshing. So
Speaker 1: it seems like I feel like I'm always on like
Speaker 1: the am I getting too old to be here and
Speaker 1: still you know, and like you have to provide the
Speaker 1: leadership for the kids. So if you're not a leader
Speaker 1: there as an older, older player, they're probably looking to
Speaker 1: get rid of you and just keep filtering through people
Speaker 1: that are going to be you know, career players for them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it'd be an interesting thing being older there, but
Speaker 1: it is, you know, credits to the Cats. They're five
Speaker 1: and oh, first time since twenty seventeen the Cats have
Speaker 1: been there. And this is the funny thing, right, Like
Speaker 1: the Cats didn't make finals, didn't make finals last year
Speaker 1: after winning a grand final, so they have now they're
Speaker 1: five and oh, and it's like, well, I hold it up,
Speaker 1: Like was maybe some of the injuries and stuff they
Speaker 1: had last year the reasoning they weren't you know, in
Speaker 1: the top eight at the end of the year, and
Speaker 1: they still have that talent that's on that list. You know,
Speaker 1: we're looking at the Cats of twenty twenty two rather
Speaker 1: than the Cats of twenty twenty three, which they're going
Speaker 1: to make the top eight.
Speaker 2: Or they were criticized for having the slow start last year,
Speaker 2: which you know, most people just dismissed. But you know,
Speaker 2: at this stage last year they were in way worse
Speaker 2: shape than they are now and it took them a
Speaker 2: long time to get back on the road and then
Speaker 2: they just couldn't get it back. So they've had a
Speaker 2: way sharper start to the year and maybe that was
Speaker 2: as a result of the slow start last year. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they're absolutely killing it at the moment.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, of killing ye speaking of killing it, our
Speaker 1: West Coast Eagles.
Speaker 2: Wow, did not see it go. Wow, did not see
Speaker 2: it coming.
Speaker 1: In West Coast in front of their fans at home
Speaker 1: versus Richmond.
Speaker 2: And it started terribly for him.
Speaker 1: You know what they did, kicked over one hundred points.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy, I would believe it.
Speaker 2: It started with Richmond kicked the first few of the
Speaker 2: game and it was like, are they king to dish
Speaker 2: this up against Richmond at home? Like you got to
Speaker 2: fire a shot? And did they ever? Because they just
Speaker 2: kept piling on the pain. Harley Reid watched every week
Speaker 2: twenty seven touches kicked the goal and don't argue Dusty,
Speaker 2: which we touched on at the start of the podcast.
Speaker 2: Massive thing Dusty, you know, like Dusty gives a ship,
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 1: He's like, whatever, I'm getting paid.
Speaker 2: Jake Waterman, who you know is the West Coast Forward.
Speaker 2: West Coast Forward has been a bit depleted over the
Speaker 2: with Oscar Allen going down at the start of the year.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he bobbed up and kicked six goals.
Speaker 1: Six eighteen disposals. I'm not sure what the Waterman is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're gonna have yeah, like it's a
Speaker 2: the sprinkler.
Speaker 1: Sprinkler Jake was Yeah, some asm r for everyone.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1: Pretty good failed.
Speaker 2: That the highlight of the game, except for the obviously
Speaker 2: mikey La foul with his don't argue with death. He
Speaker 2: kicked three goals twelve touches. Probably had to do too much.
Speaker 1: It's actually one of my favorite players.
Speaker 2: That wife fast, good kick, strong, exciting player, but one
Speaker 2: of the old dogs. He's getting to be an old
Speaker 2: dog now. Nick Floston, Yeah, he just took one of
Speaker 2: the all time speckis And the best part about it
Speaker 2: was he did not land on his feet. You got
Speaker 2: to take the big hang and then go down on
Speaker 2: your side. Took it all the way to the ground,
Speaker 2: did all the check mark things to be an absolute
Speaker 2: hanger minus getting pumped at home. So the commentary is
Speaker 2: a bit so so that's important.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the commentary with Mark of the Year is almost
Speaker 1: just superportant as the mark.
Speaker 2: Which is what I think affected Jeremy Howe because he
Speaker 2: was taking so many marks. The commentators were just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's how another one.
Speaker 1: Not even surprised. That's what he does every week.
Speaker 2: Come on, you got to give it something. But yeah,
Speaker 2: massive hang by him over there in the West. Unfortunately
Speaker 2: Richmon couldn't get it done. But as we said, they
Speaker 2: go into a much needed buy, have a break because
Speaker 2: their team is ravaged by injury. They hardly got anyone
Speaker 2: left out there.
Speaker 1: But it is it is a credit to West Coast.
Speaker 1: I know we always uh you know, you see them
Speaker 1: in North Mellow and everyone kind of puts them together
Speaker 1: is how many wins are going to get this season.
Speaker 1: It's good for them and I think their motivation going
Speaker 1: through the year to get a win on the board early.
Speaker 1: So you get that pressure of oh my gosh, we
Speaker 1: haven't won a game yet. We haven't won a game yet,
Speaker 1: we haven't won a game yet. Every single week that
Speaker 1: gets thrown out. Now, now you kind of got that
Speaker 1: put behind you. You can go forward and say, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: let's build on this. I think that's massive form. So
Speaker 1: credit to West Coast being Richmond by a decent margin
Speaker 1: there over almost forty points in the West in front
Speaker 1: of their home fans. It would have been a you know,
Speaker 1: a shining light to see what's been a rough couple
Speaker 1: of years.
Speaker 2: It was nice. It was nice, feel good moment.
Speaker 1: Well that is That's that's it for the first episode
Speaker 1: of two. Obviously, we have another episode coming out later
Speaker 1: this week on Thursday. Of the preview. But the other
Speaker 1: clubs that didn't play over the weekend, Collingwood and Sydney.
Speaker 2: We get back because we needed back. It was boring
Speaker 2: a lot of close results. But you know when your
Speaker 2: team's not playing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a different feel, isn't it. It's a bit
Speaker 1: of a different feel. Yeah, well you I enjoyed it
Speaker 1: the weekend. Yeah, that had a great weekend. Right, we're
Speaker 1: going to get into it in the next episode. Man,
Speaker 1: you're gonna make fun of what I'm wearing. Apparently is
Speaker 1: not acceptable. So we're going to get into that in
Speaker 1: the next episode is coming out on Thursdays, so make
Speaker 1: sure you set your calendars, click the download. I think

Speaker 1: up more often. So whenever we do have a new

Speaker 2: You can hit a bell. Hit the bell, I think
Speaker 2: it is rating. You may as well hit the five stars.
Speaker 2: We're not talenty of five stars. But if this isn't
Speaker 2: five stars, I don't know what he is. But yeah,
Speaker 2: and then go over social channels like damn share that
Speaker 2: you know, jumping.

Speaker 1: the background for it, so make sure you give them
