[Music] welcome to the third ManUp podcast your One-Stop shot for the serious and not so serious side of Australian Sports join the lads as they discuss what's going on in the world of sport and preview all of this weekend's action now here are your hosts AFL media Superstar Peter spider ever and the world class amateur Brody Barrows welcome back to another week of the third man up Podcast I'm your co-host bro Vos with me it's not Peter Parker it's another spider spider how we doing mate oh absolutely good yeah great I think it's been a uh a great week I I really start to enjoy like I think there's always been a you know around the big freeze and you know Neil danaher and MMD and you know M neuron disease and you know not a lot of people have heard or done much about it until you know affects uh you know one of our own community in Neil danur and look just looking back and I just think this is uh one of the great causes we stand up to throughout the year we know we we do breast cancer every year but you know this is just matching it at the moment I think there's no better scene at the MCG on you know on the King's birthday on Monday when you see two teams Melbourne and Collingwood we know Callingwood fans how you know fanatical they can be and how paral and you know they have their but you know what I love is when you've got two teams they've all got the different jerseys on they're yelling and screaming but they've all got a beanie that represents that they're all still United I think that's one of the great scenes of AFL footy into you in modern day footy oh absolutely mate and you see it it's just a sea of blue and or light blue and dark blue and yes Neil lost his ability to speak now but just seeing that smile like come across his face it just lightens up everyone and it's great to see it's another one of those SC where football just unites Australia all as one and and it's not just the big games you go down to local level now and everyone's wearing these M andd beanies and it's really just captivated a nation all for a great cause yeah well you would have seen it luckily yourself you so many clubs now doing the big frees I've seen it on the Gold Coast and even during the week you know the Gold Coast Suns did their one and it was great you know look and it's hard when you're you're not m a part of you know Collingwood or Melbourne and you're not a part of that tradition and trying to get involved and yeah you can buy the beanie and support but to actually you know during the week we had the go Coast Sons we had Ian Hy who was uh you know one of Australia's great cricketers Alli day who you know one of our great Iron Men uh we had uh T Tammy Hambra who's influenc here on the go Coast we had a couple of local news readers and we all uh did the dunk and then you had the footy boys kicking the ball at the Target to try and dunk us all so I just I found a great it was a good way for not only the go coio as a team to be involved but also the community to get behind it as well raising money and feel like we're doing our little bit to be able to help the bigger picture which is obviously on uh you know the King's birthday weekend and well done for yourself for getting involved with it mate was it uh a little bit chilly oh yeah yeah it was but you know what we do cheat it's a it's the big freeze it's kind of the the big kind of freeze nice and warm here in on the go co cuz the hardest thing was yeah we got dunked in and they chucked ice in the water but um you know as soon as you get out it's like it's nice weather 22° it's like so we kind of it is half cheating but yeah it was just it was just great to see the whole club behind it and pull it together and you know if they played you know the weekend game here they'd probably do it at the game but you know not having the game they still got behind and supported it and it's not just Gold Coast a lot of clubs are doing at the moment as well and I enjoyed he got Sammy Barry down there obviously not known to be the best kick in the and he's lined up and just run up and hit the buzzer and dunk yeah that was a good thing they can say okay who do you want and I you I I want kingy I backed you for so many goals this year and you've let me down so and he sprayed the first one so that was hilarious and then uh yeah Barry come and did uh did dimmer so you know the whole the whole the whole team was was there watching and a part of it so I felt that you know really special for the Suns really special for you know them to yeah cuz a lot of these players wouldn't know yeah they know danur but to be able to then go back to the history of the footy club and you know know that he's been battling this for you know since he was diagnosed 2013 and normally a diagnosis of uh MMD only is 27 months so he's done a remarkable effort and it just um yeah and it even like you know we talk about the big freze on the Monday how good is it like you know ever ever since Nick rewal walked out as Freddy Mercury and now they've started to make it a a fun entertaining event everybody's costumes under wraps they come out do a little bit of music or whatever and they've made it into something bigger which is uh even better yeah can't wait to touch on that game a little bit later in the show but going to jump into last week's games before we move on too much further kick it off with Thursday night footy and it was Colton coming down to south Australia and taking care of Port ADL in this one 107 to 71 and in my opinion I actually think the score on probably flattered put well flattered put adade in this one it's Calton just dominated from start to finish just a bit it was it was you know you've got to start taking Caron serious I know we talk about this every week when do you start taking carton serious and I think B portay there convincing convincingly in the last quarter I think they end up kicking six six ball goals you out just blew them blew them out of the park and uh you know you you're a big fan of Welsh and it'll be interesting to see where he's tracking on the brown low because like he's been the main man you know you talk about Crips you talk about KERO Mai and these guys but him and then D's been fantastic as well so kind of you you look at that and you P had a couple of injuries but you know they're real two Batman that you sit there and go you know what we built our side we got our backman you talked to Ken you speak you hear Ken hinley before the game and they just got teed up they just got beaten around the stoppages and couldn't match them yeah I think they're probably broke even around the stoppages but anytime Port went forward it just looked like getting repelled straight out of there again Charlie Dixon couldn't get anywhere near it whereas Charlie at the other end was was clunking everything and then Todd Marshall um you look at him you know he beats up a lot on the likes of North Melbourne and and the lower teams and so often you hate to say it but he comes up against the Colton or even the crows in a high pressure game in those showdowns or Callingwood at the MCG and they're nowhere to be seen and took Mitch georgis obviously coming back from a knee Recon this year four goal one he was the only target who looked like you know scoring goals in that 450 for him and that's a hard thing isn't it you know they they sit there and they say okay we got a great fall line okay let's put put all our time and effort into our defensive line they get that right and even though they they probably lowered their colors on the weekend you know Charlie Dixon's the the the big question for me is that you know like you kind of ask where he is you look at Tex Walker and you understand with his age and you I think you know he's had an unbelievable year last year but Charlie's never really set the place on fire for a long period of time yeah he would do it for a game here and a game there and you think yep that's what he can do but he won't consistently do it from for weeks in weeks out and come finals time I don't think he's one of those players you can really rely on no and the amount of times he just can't get consistency to his game because uh I understand they're trying to manage him but I don't think it's doing good cuz he's sort of one in you know he's in for one out for the next two he's for one and a big fell like that I think he actually needs that you know those games under his belt but he just his body's not letting him do it at the moment yeah well you know what you got to get your body right is it better off taking six months off you know that old theory of taking 12 months off get your body right come back and have a couple of couple of really good years because yeah at the moment when we're seeing him struggle like he struggled with his knee struggled to turn struggle to move when he's up and about they're such more dominant but you know then you look at Sydney they get rid of yeah look at them and look at them so it's a it's a question for Port now it is now Friday night footy it was Western Bulldogs 1510 100 defeating Collingwood 12182 but AR can The Bookies listen to our podcast cuz Collingwood opened up a $170 favorite to the Bulldog $210 we said Bulldogs are good money I and you know by the time the Bulls shown up this would have switched it had switched exactly mate yeah oh no doubt I know they listen I know Tristan that's only top sport I know the other Zone in as well because you're right it was I found it the better of the day and a lot of people said oh there's a couple of bets there even though I didn't get a lot of tips right this weekend I got the right ones um because colinwood had nine injuries yeah Bulldogs had seven but colinwood had some really big injuries here who would you prefer though when you when you see the bond turn it on like that you see the first half you think day cost is absolutely due for another three votes Y and then you see the bond and you see how damaging he can be and what he does with the footy you've got to go the bond I hope he got you three he did it was it was three to B two to deos and then daylight to the rest but in saying that Adam tror 37 possessions thought he was great as well but yeah like you said bonon P I think when he gets it um deos has really improved his contested game this year which has really impressed me but when Bonelli plays like that he needs five minutes you know deos will grind you down over the course of a game but Bond just needs that five minutes doesn't he yep oh that goal like he's just a freak that goalie kick from the boundary of 3540 out it's like you know he's just one of the great players of all time and you know the greatest player not to win a Browner I think you can nearly argue that every day of the week so yeah it was a good win by the doggies and uh you know just still keeps this season alive but for me you know Collingwood they they got to start I don't know we still with just right in Midway of the season but you want to start getting your troops back you want to be you know trying to hit that Peak form come you know early August you don't want to be scraping into say seventh or eighth spot and having a play away from home especially if it's against an interstate team like a gws or someone who might finish fifth or just outside the four you don't want to be going up there to play them if you finish seventh or eighth absolutely not and that that's the that's the scary thing about it is that you've just yeah you need to win yeah you you want to get early wins on the board and at the moment the PES just can't do it just want to touch on in this game Sam Darcy obviously had an absolutely shocking first quarter probably one of the worst first quarters gave away 50 there was obviously that um report which we'll we'll touch on him and Harley Reed a little bit later in the show but to come back and play just an unbelievable game it takes so much maturity for a young kid you've had a horrible first quarter you've got that report sitting in the back of your head and he come out Aron he played probably the three best quarters of his young career so far I agree I I actually found that a bit inspir you pretty inspirational really because he could have thrown in the tow you saw him on the bench talking to the coach down the line he's nodding his head he's having a bit of a yak beos at the other end and 100% any kid to throw you know most old guys like if that was um you know a couple of other players uh they would have thrown in the tower that would have been it you might as well sit them on the bench you might as well him out to be honest yet he come back and helped him win the game like that goal that he kicked around yeah kicked the sealer did what he had to do and um you know just that report and I know we'll talk about the Harley re one later on so we'll get to those because what a weekend for the rising star made a fair few bookies pretty happy I think but going to move on to the next game Hawthorne 6 107 defeating Adela 12880 and I'm absolutely sick of the Hawks mate I tip them and they look I tip against them and they win and just like that ADL season is done yep well Sam Mitchell he's just done a great job isn't he a lot of people even in the first couple of weeks I was caught with a few people the other day and they said you know what we've played Hawthorne early in the year and we thought they're in trouble they're going to be right down the bottom and they've just rebounded they're beating good sides and they're beating them convincingly yeah and all they're doing is they're all just playing their role a team effort you can't just say this guy's playing great you know from their backs to the leads to the forwards they're just doing what they need to do and we know Hawthorne's been doing that for a long period of time that's how Sam Mitchell played his footy so it's a great effort but I think the question to come out of this one here is AD alide you know I I don't think there's a side above I look at the ladder and I just think probably Brisbane is the bottom marker of playing finals yeah yeah it's so close now between third and and 10th just about but then after that it's quite a pretty big drop off um once you say that but I've sort of been going through and looked at the 2023 stats compared to this year just trying to find out where Adelaide have dropped off in this one and I've looked looked up in 2024 and Adelaide are actually number one four hit outs so far this season so they've got 40 or 50 more hit outs than any other club but they've only won four the clearance battle in four out of their 12 games so obviously the rman of the Midfield aren't talking they're not looking out after each other they're not protecting each other they're not hitting to the right areas because disconnect yeah cuz then if you start looking at other oppositions like you know Port Adela you know who who I think would be pretty high the Suns would be pretty high as well um you know these kind of teams who have a good connection well that's just yeah that's that's a good stat because if the balls you know they always say there's two there's three phases of the game they've got the ball you've got the ball the ball's in dispute so if the ball's in as like any Center bounce or any any clearance situation you you handle it but you're not clearing it communication issue for sure yeah and since Rankin's gone out crows have just been beaten up on the inside which you never really would have Associated that with Isaac Ranken you know a couple years ago well that and you know I know we kind of pick our teams as well for all Australian or Victoria versus South Australia even though he's injured he's right up there yeah yeah and that's and that goes on in import as well oh yeah exactly and just want to touch on the Hawks um I hate the games like this and the so much of the games get looked at as a team that lost I think we really need to praise up the Hawks in this one and yeah you look at their young mid at their young Midfield and a lot of them are goal kickers you know you're going to have will day in there young McKenzie and I just love what these Hawks side are building um they goal kicking midfielders they got you know three or four swingmen who can go back or forward depending on matchups and that is exciting you just want to tune in and watch them well the thing is too I the thing I like about him it doesn't matter who they come up against they don't take a backward step they haven't got you know a named Midfield like some of the great midfields but they sit there and go you know what we've still got exactly what you've got we're all here for a reason so let's put him let's put them to the challenge let's put them to the sword Sam Mitchell was always good at knowing the opposition so all of their players who who are playing swing plays midfield forward back they would know and most players do but hawthor would really dive into knowing exactly what their players are capable of how they can beat them yeah now next game and H you must be pretty happy with this one it was s 1210 82 just dragging themselves over the line over West Coast 10868 Saints finally get a win but Harley raid still gets a headlines no matter what he does good or bad he's just box office and I'm like I'm sick of the Saints too cuz every time I tip them they lose every time I don't tip them they win so I tip West Coast wi in my favor I thought you little Ripper but yeah look the Saints they were lucky too they lucky know you know Waterman pulled out and then suddenly you sit there and go okay that's great that gives him a great opportunity if he played they probably would have lost yeah that's that's reality um they end up getting just over the line did enough but um yeah hly Road just stiff yeah just yeah was it there yes it is dumb yeah but it's in that Heat of the Moment that kind of football you know it's it's pretty weird when you look at it isn't it was he in his eighth or seventh or eighth game of AFL football in halftime he was clearly the best player on the ground and Ross lion has to send marus windhager to him and after that you can understand he's never he's obviously would have been tagged in his Junior footy but being tagged in in senior AFL footy compared to Junior footy I mean and Marcus windhager he's done it to liks of Loy Neil and that and to cop that you could tell is getting frustrated and you know he's going to the umpires a little bit and it was just frustration that's all it was to to Darcy Wilson and he's he's a young kid and at the moment probably West Coast's most important player and he's under more pressure than anyone else in the AFL right now so there's a lot of people jumping on him but I think times like this we just have to sit back and just enjoy the show yeah yeah I agree and it's it's always hard when you know this time of the year you know two years ago or 12 months ago he still wouldn't have got weeks yeah yeah it's this it's this thing you know like you can go through the history of you know players missing out on you know Awards because of whatever the Highlight was that year in the way of coping weeks so really disappointed for him because you know he is by far the best player in the competition at that age level so yeah a tough one to swallow but finally the Saints get a win Rossy gets back with a bit of a bit of a smile and we we go again we going to get sof cuddly Ross back maybe but just uh want to ask you this so obviously Max King went off uh with a bit of an injury concern and I don't know if it was just me but Saints then suddenly looked like this fast attacking side because they knew they didn't have this big tool target they can just bomb it to they moved it quickly and Mason wood I mean he was outstanding got a touch on him if you're a good Winger you play your best games at Opus on those Wide Wings but Saints suddenly just looked like the super attacking site and that's this is a hard you know like they they actually you know there was speculation you know early in the days that they wanted to get the other king yeah yeah and Benny King's doing well at the Suns we're leading the goal kicking at the moment but and that's right it's it's like how do you do that even with kinging the team yeah because he they tell you should be moving the ball the whole time yeah and King's in there and then they've got enough crumbers and midfielders but it's so hard because kingy against you know any of the four WS absolutely can hold his own but why does it it's just that mental game of how does that turn around when you when key is in or out it should be exactly the same you sit there and go why if that's the case just going [ __ ] you guys yeah yeah yeah absolutely there's nothing there's nothing worse and it's like when if you get dropped and then they start doing exactly or you're injured and they start doing exactly what you've been asking to do for the last three weeks it's like where was this so he'd be frustrated more than anybody because yeah we know forwards like to get it in quick so yeah I yeah it would be interesting to see I would love to be in a team meeting and see what the outcome was and what the Saints said about that yeah it it' have to be just oh I just loved just seeing him play that exciting brand of footing they banged on four goals in about 10 minutes going to move on to the next game though jalong survived a bit of a scare in this one 5999 running over the top of Richmond in the last half 10969 very there would been a Fair few nervous cats fans at halime but um unfortunate to see young Mel Tila go down with an ACL he's been probably one of the stories of the Season obviously coming from New Zealand playing football and uh he's probably been their best forward this year too yeah well he was uh getting his hand on it he's a big unit he's got Firs like tree trunks he's a massive man but yeah and that's sad like as you say guy from New Zealand got his chance making the most of it doing everything right and just and there wasn't much in it either like he just come down and you his knee just bent backwards but you know that and curvis was very very good for the tiges um you know but you know those two goals from OE Dempsey right before the Hal time just just like that pretty much I think that that's the only thing that kept them in it Ari and Richmond could have won if that those two goals weren't kicked you know they just had to hold on for that extra 3 minutes and it would have made a huge difference so they tough the tiges but they were more competitive I think they've been good for about a month of footy now oh you look at their list and for the team that they're playing with every single week to go down to the cats yes they haven't been playing the best footy but 30 points we up at halftime amazing effort and it's a lot of their key midfielders that they without at the moment like um they won the hit outs what was it uh 58 to 27 on the weekend and then lost the clearances 45 to 38 so when you don't have your best midfielders in there you're going to get teared up and a great effort by by the tigers and um yeah jalong just sometimes you just have to grind out a dirty wind to get that to get that momentum back and the hardest thing here is and I know yeah we'll talk about Dusty a little later on because obviously they've pulled the pin on in this weekend uh what your thoughts on on that is but yeah look the cats aren't traveling that well that that's the hardest thing yeah Tiger's still you still talking Jong along so it's still a a great effort but um you know the cats what that tells me is they've still got to get get a few back as well yeah cuz they they need to be better better than this to be playing finals and to be playing you know making a you dent in the finals but they are sitting you they're sitting third so they're still going all right they just need to there the good thing about is they don't have to rush back their Stars yeah cats six seven weeks ago though win win that by 15 goals now the next game which we actually labeled the game of the round freem manal 22941 229 141 defeated Melbourne 7749 and right before this game David King had killed free man with the most boring side in the AFL so uh really yeah he reckons yep boring game plan you you wouldn't watch a freem manal game does he watch his own shows and he he also him and Kan K said The Rock The Rock uh um Joo of Darcy and Jackson will get pumped by gone and yeah well that didn't really happen too well but yeah amazing two blocks that spend 24/7 on football because the most opposite thing that's ever happened in football but this game here I found really fascinating Steven may he looked like a a firste player he was getting thrown around and raged all by a couple of 20-y olds and just go to show the importance of Jake lever with him yeah this is what I love it and you know it was a and I've tipped against Freeman most of the year and they've proved me wrong each and every week as well but they they're an exciting team they run they use L the footy they you they kick long they they they you have a real good crack and you you've mentioned before how you know they how diverse their Midfield is and now they got options up forward who are actually taking marks kicking straight kicking goals and with a two Ruckman it makes a massive difference as soon as you put one of those tools down forward you're dragging one of your major bman and then suddenly you know then the second goes to um you know the next toall and Miss yeah and it just continues on but Melbourne to be absolutely dominated and they say oh yeah it's a bit jewy it's this and that they're perfect conditions you cannot blame the conditions there at um at Ella Springs over the weekend so the hardest thing I think for Melbourne is yeah they're still it's just so hot and cold I've I've never seen them so hot and cold they've been like that for a couple of years but this year more so that that they no we near what well do we overrate them do we rap Melbourne do we think that you know Jack lever and Steven May is Steven May getting a little bit on you you seen him a couple of weeks ago when you know the broken ribs and he he took like 10 contested marks and you know Clayton Oliver you know the track I think the track still performing but you know all those other players alongside on the outside do they need a couple of changes so I'm under the firm belief and I have been for a long time that your star backman is only as good as the second best bman in your side so you look when when Callingwood lost a few of their big names from from their defense Darcy Moore looked completely lost down back the all Australian captain of last year looked completely lost and then you look at Gold Coast when Charlie Ballard goes out the side um all of a sudden M Andrew can look a little bit lost same as St kilder Cal Wilkey goes out and then their backline gets lost so all of the best backman in the AFL when they lose their second in char all of a sudden you know they just don't seem up to their or up to their usual standard so it's that partnership you need the relationship the love between the two big bman that needs to yeah you're right because it's true because Steve may and L they just they know how each other operate they look at each other they don't even need to they just know how everyone works so it's a it is absolutely a uh a good point and you know same thing going forward like if your forwards aren't getting near it either you know if they're inconsistent you're small and Tall fours like even they Midfield I don't think Clayton Oliver and you know you start looking on the outside like d does his job but you know like we say you can't have two blocks doing the job each and every week col would have trying to do the same with you know the day CPS yeah yeah you can't have it you know when you look at Sydney or you look at freem manal you look at their best and you don't know who it's going to be each week yeah yeah yeah and and it's I think it's the same with kton is it going to be Crips to S up this week Harry MC Charlie kerno s weering like it's you got to have depth of stars and they're not getting the most from Paka and Oliver have probably been down this year compared to their usual output but last game of the round Gold Coast 14791 defeating the bombers 11480 suns are quickly no matter where they play their home games it's a bit of a fortress at the moment but uh just a work out their away games dominated through the Midfield Anderson R Miller and Flanders um one young fellow I was really impressed with in this match was uh young bod uland the round 12 Rising Star winner yeah he was he's uh you know a local kid up here I think they've got a lot of locals now on their list so you know they've done a really really good job and it BR br's been a bit hit on Miss over the last couple of weeks and it's good to see that you know he got the four quarters together still I think um you know MC Andrew is a star in this side you know they just absolutely love him got a gun Midfield and kingy up forward starting to hold him and kick goals which is vital as well the coaches his back forward but you know the bombers had him on the ropes the first 10 minutes if the bombers had kicked straight it could have been a different story pretty early so they kicked a few points and they didn't they they they ran away with the last quarter but I think what gets me most here and you know you talk about you know football in different states and how difficult it can be you know there's 21,000 there which is I know 's one of the big four teams but up here are they there was still a lot of sun supporters there so have 21,000 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon without a public holiday the next day it's a good crowd yeah there's a good crowd up here and I just thought you know their success is starting to pay off people are starting to go through in a few weeks they've got Collingwood and their biggest fear is that it will be a sell out there's no doubt but it'll be mostly Callingwood supporters you Sun's supporters won't be able to get tick get because they know how fanatical Collingwood supporters are so yeah look even though Meritt Martin you know the bombers did all the right things but you know I just think the Suns have got a lot of depth a lot of character a lot of run yeah and one guy we need to touch on he's come to the side probably halfway through the season this year and he provides so much pressure as a forward and often he he does that negative role he'll take the best backman he did it to Tom Stewart a few weeks ago shut him down but Ben long it was great to see him get on the end pick for himself but just love what he brings to that Sun's forward line it's a pressure it's a tackling it's a bumping it's a little bit of niggly [ __ ] that you just love to see yeah well they got uh is it Rosa Jor that's out as well so who normally brings that and Long's been out to get his opportunity but he's a well they lost Jack Martin and Jack Martin was one of those kind of players um and there you've got long coming and been able to absolutely do it so yeah you need those exciting forwards small forwards you don't know what's going to happen they're going to bring something he's an Isaac R he can nearly go in the Midfield and run forward you know I think you know he's only just starting out but you know that could be a role because we know how exciting he can be you know going forward so they've got so many options at the moment and they got half a dozen really good experienced players sitting in the twos but as we all say this is all great at home it's got to try and get those win on the road winds on the road so another big challenge for him on the weekend yeah and just want to touch on one young fell I'm a big fan of his no Jared Wht and Ned Moy really impressed with not only his Ru work but his ability to start clunk him around the ground and those you know those kickouts from fullback they're looking for him and if he's not marking it he's bringing bringing it to ground in the likes of TK Miller Anderson and ra then sweeping at his feet I think he won a league best and ferish in the vfl or it was definitely a club best in fur so he's got the ability to do it he's really struggled at AFL level when he's going up there he's never really had that breakout confidence and you know you always especially if you like that you got Jared sitting in the background you know you're going to be a yo-yo when wit is right you know you're going going out but at the same time I actually thought that was his best game he's had for the Suns he he was as you say he was able to get around the ground he got a couple of kicks some really good marks he started showing us what he could do that you'd expect um after a few games so you know you you no longer see think you know what if wit's gone the mid you they're going to struggle you go you know what they have got a pretty good backup Ruckman now if you play like that each and every week that he's in and also I remember the games he was coming in last year it was often against the bigname teams where wi he wasn't playing and he'd be coming up against the Jackson or Darcy combo and poor fellow's you know in there for his first game in three or four weeks playing AFL level and he's coming up against or or or Big Max G so sometimes he's just put in against the wrong wrong people yeah look wit he just doesn't like playing against a big name so he's really he's really smart that way just pick and choose who I play against keep my stats alive keep my averages up but uh yeah no you're right and that makes it always hard yeah definitely now going to move into overreaction or spot on kicking off with the biggest story in football this week the AFL needs to scrap the fairest option from the end of season awards you shouldn't miss out on a rising star or a brown low medal for minor indiscretions striking completely different but minor IND indiscretions or footy acts shouldn't be uh you shouldn't be missing out on the rising St of the brown LW look it's always hard and I think because depending what's hot that year is what's coping people we've seen I think Cory mccum was he was his a trip back in the day reach out little flick yeah yeah um so yeah I look I do agree the thing I agree with most like this and I still remember when Robert Harvey won the brown low in 97 um and yeah he was second it was only because of a report Chris Grant I think didn't win it um and haves got up and he said you know what it's not really my award Chris Grant it's a a shallow Victory har did go out and Win w 8 legit so you know I mean like he he absolutely and I think same with Harley Reid you know Harley Reid's out now you go to Sam Darcy second in charge who would have won it he's out so it's going to your third pronged realistically your third pronged young player and I'm 100% sure if it's OE D whoever it is would sit there and go you know what it's actually not my award because Harley Reed is the best player at this age well know I find interesting with this is they still going to give the 321 votes from all the the media is still going to do the votes so you're going to be able to see how much Harley Reid and Sam Darcy at the end of the year are actually in front of the next best so it could be yeah and because it's done on a I think it's a 54321 there's 20 I think there's 20 media personalities that do it um so he could end up with let's say Harley Reed he could have a 100 he could have 25 yeah and Sam Darcy he could have 80 he could have 24s and then you know could the the next the person who wins on um in third place could have 20 yeah we have could could have 60 could have 20 but what you're saying is is nowhere near what yeah and that's that's what makes it hard so I kind of agree and I understand with the Striking as well but realistically if you're missing those weeks you're missing the chance to poll anyway yeah so you know if you cop four weeks well there's 12 votes you're missing a possible 12 votes you're missing out on so I kind of I kind of agree and it just the brown it doesn't have to be the best and fairest like the our football club every Club has the best and fairest they don't care if you were suspended for 10 weeks if you carve it up the other 12 you've won the best and fairest and you're an absolute hero yeah so yeah I think it I I I'm all for change yeah yeah me too now this next one has got me very fired up mate oh here we go yes all right clubs need to stop bullshitting when they don't select a player Richmond putting Dusty down as an illness is absolutely [ __ ] pointless just say he's rest and this is okay this is what what gets me and this could have been you know the spider uh Spider spiderbot as well but what gets me here is if they were playing finals if they were sitting sixth would you if this was three years ago would Dusty say no no look I don't want to play Adelaide in Adelaide because I got my 300 I play the MCG next week next question does Dusty even care if he played it in AD or at the mcj he does not care he just wants to get to his 300 and uh he'll be happy with that so yeah for me I just sit there and go look yeah just be honest like you know I just I still think for punters and for fans if your best team's available you got to play your best team yeah I've got a couple of mates who are driving over mad Richmond fans and they're driving over from lock so driving over seven hours and they were hoping to see dust Dusty's 300th and they had some signs and a few things organized and uh yeah they're going over there um and not going to give mean they're not disappointed they're still going to go and watch the team probably anyway but yeah yeah you should just say two two or three weeks ago put put it out there Dusty your plays 300th at the MCG stop bullshitting your fans I think yeah yeah that's and that's what I Reon to Ian just tell us what's happening but at the same time Ian you got to play your best team yeah that's your duty of care is to play your best team other otherwise especially once it gets to the end of the year it can become a bit of a slippery slope if you start talking draft pick draft picks or uh tanking yeah absolutely 100% anyway mate I've had my little spray AR it's time for you to fire it's that time of the week where we find out what's been grinding the Big Fella's gears it's time for spider bites look it's been a big week in uh in all sports this week and uh look I think you look at all the charity rounds we have going around I think the AFL do a great effort in everything they do but for me this week I want to I want to have a crack at the way the AFL setting up their system like we've got so many teams missing last week this week next week the week after so many teams coming off a buy not having a buy you got the NRL having state of origin and then they got backing up Here There and Everywhere for me I don't understand if you're going to have a buy or give teams the week off give every team the week off give everyone the week off and don't give me oh no we got you port and Freeman all this week and then we got cartton and Collingwood and J long the week after and oh they're coming off a buy and these ones aren't and this isn't give everyone the week off AFL close down for seven days go on your holidays do what you want book in all you and the draft should run in at the same time so you've got midseason break you got the midseason draft you can do whatever you want but give us every single team the same Weekend off yeah okay all the uh all the coaches and all the CEOs won't sleep with the players away for 72 hours thinking okay this could be absolutely Mayhem but you know what they're able to plan things you're able to plan everything you need to do even for footy lovers just start putting everything make it easy make it predictable for us at the moment it's it's unpredictable we're trying to work out what's going on on with the ladder all we can see brisban Lions they've played 11 oh yeah North Melbourne's played 11 everyone else has played 12 except Sydney and like no everyone on Thursday we close the AFL and we open it back up on Monday y best way that's what Oregan easy and I tell you what for Fantasy planning it's an absolute pain in the ass trying to bring in players one week and then trade them away the next week it's it's I'm spending way way too much time on that and and when you're talking about fantasy but there's big money in there there is there there's TV shows there's cars there's everything to go with it and I just find it absolutely ridiculous that we've all got to guess who's in who's out did they come off the buy who's not injured so just give everyone the weekend off and you know and like they say make the state make a state of origin against Victoria versus South Australia in the vfa in the vfl I fully agree with that and speaking of the state of origin mate did you get your Victorian side up I got most of them up yes yes I've got mine here ready to fire if you want to if you want to go VI Vic versus sa team yeah okay I've got most I've got I've got a couple of spots free yeah but at the moment if you want to name your forward line I'll name my back line and we can sort of go like that if you like put them against each other okay so I my fall line I miss I missing one at the moment but um I cuz I haven't done my bench I'm dragging one Off the Bench I'm dragging Martin Off the Bench just to just to fit in there because no actually no I'll leave him because you'll end up putting this up anyway so for line at the moment I've just I haven't got my for Pockets locked in okay um but I've got probably Toby green but I've just trying to work out exactly where but uh a lot of got into this no no no you ever listen so kerno is my full forward right and then my half for my half four line is bont Bailey Fritz and Nick Doos yeah Bailey Fritz was playing on a wing last week so yeah that's that's a pretty good uh pretty good half a line so my full B I've got car wil from the Saints I reckon he's been in outstanding form this year y back pockets I've got Mason Redmond from the bombers and I've got Mitch Hing from the crows one of the uh and he'll be taking the kick outs one of the best kicks in the NFL Center half back I've got Charlie Ballard from the Suns I've got Wang ganine millera and and then Rory lead from the crows on the other halfback flank where he was all Australian back in 2017 I think it was yep yeah you want my half you want my center line Y give me your Center Line so my center line is uh Josh Jos on the wing yep yep petraka and Merritt okay so on my wings I've got uh will Day from the Hawks I'm a huge fan of his I think he's the next Bon to Pell on the uh on the other Wing I've got George hu I think he's super underrated player for Calton play inside can play out and then Center the captain of the Adelaide crows Jordan Dawson yeah yeah up pretty well so far isn't it okay okay well my half backline and full back line I've got this locked and loaded y so I've got uh Sammy Walsh yeah weering Jack Sinclair oh yeah Whitfield Sicily Stewart yeah this is where uh unfortunately South Australia fall down a little bit there for Line's a little bit weaker but what about that backline yeah so my half forward line I've got will Haywood I've got Jack Lous and Jason Horn Francis oh yeah we carve you yeah you do Jack Jack Laos is probably the the week link there Jason Horn Francis I'd take him on a forward flank oh yeah yeah and then my full forward line I've got Frederick from the Dockers yep I've got foggy and I've got Coy Piet no yeah so weakish compared to the the Victorian backline but it's uh yeah I'm banking on some go kicking midfielders put it that way mate yeah who you going my mids yep um as I mentioned Peta in the middle but my mids would be I've got to go gone I threw it up for a while and I said n I'll go I'm going to go gone song and I'm taking raal yeah so I've gone the man who absolutely pumped him in the first round Brody Grundy Loy Neil Connor Rosie or I can I can we take the chalkies there yeah yeah good good Midfield and then uh on the bench I've got Alex Neil bullan from the D's I've got uh Tommy uh Tom per Harry Petty and James H oh so the isn't quite there like like the no well see for me I've got um Martin and from the bombers Anderson Houston and butters yeah that's that's a pretty good bench but see two of the I I would put one or two of those in the forward like Butters probably go forward you can't put a Butters in a forward pocket no it's not team you can't have 20 midfielders yeah so I kind of sit there and go right who I so I've got a pick but I'll I'll get my two forward Pockets worked out and uh you'll put those up no worries and my coach is Craig McCrae as well former Glen boy oh I didn't think of my coach um oh go oh no voss's not even no where was vosy is he allies yeah he was You' go dimmer yeah I'll take dimmer I think we had this discussion a few weeks ago oh last week and I I went and looked it up and yeah you can use dimmer if you want okay I'll take dimmer all right mate anyways I think it's time to uh make some money here comes the money here we go money talk here comes the [Music] M we how you traveling with it we've got a new favorite for the brown low medal believe it or not go I well can't can't be Nick Doos because he only got two you're saying it is he's the new betting favorite he's not in the lead but he's a new betting favorite um according to top sport he's at $350 so a few weeks ago when you and I said Swan's out a buy yeah so how can you he he's gone up 20 cents what's trist what's Tristan thinking there at top sport like does he know that Han sitting on the bench he's he's sucking pan of coladas and he drifted him out I think that too focused on the origin tonight I've uh seen a couple of their promotions which is pretty juicy um by the way but in the lead we've still got Isaac Keeney on 19 votes $460 second after getting two on the weekend we've got Nick Doos three 50 imagine if people listen to us you know three or four weeks ago when we said I reckon he could get seven or eight votes in the next four four weeks he's gone bang bang bang bang $10 into $350 favorite Patty Crips on 15 votes $650 Zack Merritt 15 votes $8 Caleb song 15 votes $12 and our man who was at $36 just two weeks ago Noah Anderson into $18 so and then Zack Butters on14 votes at 17 what do you have the bond where do you have the bond at bond is I've got him at 12 yeah yeah 12 votes and then I think he's about seven or 8 yeah no he might be a little bit he's probably you know we talked about you know strong the bond Butters Butters we only had one off game you can't say you know it's going to be the end of end of everything and uh you know when you look at the bont versus uh you know the great weekend the bont versus Doos it was unbelievable so yeah good betting for the brown L this year B good one I'm I'm still on yeah I I still have a couple of bucks on the BN and I still reckon buts yeah Noah Anderson though 36 bucks he he was two weeks ago and we said that's a pretty good bet now he's he's only four votes behind the leader and he's he's been smashed into $18 yeah oh and he gets a lot of the footy he does and r r the the one that puts his head over the ball gets it out but they went to school footy together they find each other how many I think if Anderson wins it he will have to kind of just cut a third off it and give it to to Rally because he gives him the ball every time it's remarkable how many times they do the combo and so many times you you'll see Matt ra because he's so strong he draws two or three tacklers which which then allows a hble over the top to Anderson and one thing that Noah Anderson's brought to his game this year is ability to go forward and kick goals and once he's in front of the big six he doesn't miss many I don't know how because yeah no I know he's a great kick but I was talking about rally finding Anderson because we did that you know the handall in the in the the big freeze and he had to handall at a Target yeah or he did 20 hand balls and he wasn't even close and I was like can three blocks jump on him and then he'll actually hit a Target he's unbelievable the way he does it though like he's people forget he's so young what is he 22 and yeah yeah and he's so strong and you see some of the strongest players in the AFL just you know they look like kids trying to tackle him it's ridiculous yeah and he moves his arms and his hips that's what you do when you eat grass yeah I think horn Francis those two as well they're so strong through the hips and they're so hard to tackle if you don't have a head of steam up and you go in there you you just get made to look stupid sometimes yeah absolutely so know it's they're good to watch they good good odds and uh oh well it's going to be interesting now without further Ado better jump into this week's games kicking off with Thursday night footy Adelaide crow versus the Richmond vfl team just about but they they are due to get a few boys back this week so um I think this one will be a lot a lot closer than what many are expecting Matt Crouch out for the season uh with a with a pretty serious arm injury yeah look um yeah I don't think it will be close at all oreg Oregon Adelaide need to B back they need to fire up and I think they will I reckon uh yeah the coach uh will have them absolutely fuming because they've been disappointing so far and at home they need to start delivering something so last Thursday night game for the year too which is again disappointing because we love Thursday night thought it starts our weekend off a little bit earlier but I'm going to stick with the crows they need it they have to win and they have to win well yeah um obviously Matt Crouch out young Billy Dowling being playing some excellent footy in the sandall comes in for his first game this week uh this week and Nick Murray um probably Crow's most important play up until doing his knee last year we return to the side after coming back through the sandall last week um big key position player which they've just been crying out for in defense all year but yeah in saying that I reckon this will be under five goals I'm tipping it um I think really yeah that's I think Richmond get a few back in Crow this text play he was subbed off last week with his back teams will be announced tonight but yeah I'm uh I'm going Crow Crow to win but not by heaps well the lines at uh 33 and A2 yeah you might find that in the uh in the multi of the week all righty oh oh sorry so you going with the crows mate yeah absolutely yeah easy yeah Friday night footy this one here very interesting Clash Western Bulldogs up against the liines at Marvel Stadium Bulldogs coming off a very important win last week Brisbane Lions I reckon they really really needed that break and uh do they reset and launch launch to make finals from here um I've ticked both of them so it kind of confuses me which what I'm going for but now look I thought the dogs were fantastic last week they did have a lot of injuries they had seven injuries they were playing a team that had nine injuries so what's the quality when you get an oppositions at full at at pretty much full strength I think that's the answer Aron the Lions should be able to get the job done here the Bulldogs even though they're Brave and they've been competitive they lose actually and I know we we spoke about him a little bit earlier but um Sam Dary he hasn't been just good for one week he's been really good for a long period a good month of football he's a good vocal point he can get up the ground he can take marks he takes marks in front of goal I think he's been averaging a couple of goals at least I think he kicked four a few weeks ago as well so you know like he's probably the Vocal Point still no Norton so for me oric and the Lions have got enough yeah I got agree with that one I think four Bulldogs to win Rory lob has to play a really good game of footy and I don't trust Rory L to do that the way he's playing right now oh look I'm not a I had quite a few different hairstyles back in the day but what's he trying to do is that silver or it's it's not good no like look I can't be too critical when you've got dreadlocks and blood dreadlocks and I had blue hair or green hair but I don't know the silver hair we l you want to be kicking goals that's what you want to be doing if you've got silver here so yeah for me I think um yeah yeah lob needs to you know especially when he's put his hand up and he wants to move on and go somewhere else which isn't the best look either uh I'd stick with the lines oh if he wants to uh keep a pretty good contract he's going to want have to play well in these big games especially up against the likes of Harris Andrews he's just so important but um in saying that coming off a buy it's never been good for teams statistically in the win loss ratio I'm going with the lines in this one too but I might just wait to see uh who's in and who's out for both sides as to who I'm going to select final um final tip in that one Saturday Hawthorne versus gws down in Tasmania again seems down in TAS they're getting in games about every second week yeah I don't understand I I don't it's amazing how many games they've got like and it's good because you know we've seen games in Darwin Allis Springs now in um you a lot in Tasmania is this more than every other year I think it's been like doesn't it yeah or else are we just taking note now that we know that um you know they've got a team coming in yeah but Hawthorne play it really well I think you know the Giants are well and truly overdue as well they I think they've you know their win a couple of weeks AG goo week off will get them up and running it's hard to back against the Hawks cuz they've been so so impressive they've just been so consistent and so good you sit there and go I don't know I just can't back against them they've let us they've proved us wrong for the last month and against good opposition but yeah I'm going to stick with the Giants I reckon the orange tsunami can still get after freshening up a good week I reckon um I'm going to stay with the Giants yeah with how cold it's been in Tasmania lately I'm expecting a tsunami to hit him this weekend as well it's going to be absolutely freezing down there and now the orange tsunami will be out of Full Force um I expect them the week off probably really Su to them they had Fair few of their midfielders who were carrying injuries and just getting through to the B like Tom Green has pretty well been playing on one leg for about three or four weeks so rest would do him wonders um we saw how well he started the season hopefully he can recapture that form and um yeah Giants from in this one mate yeah and just being able to regroup as well you know take a week and they weren't playing marvelous footy but as you say they had a couple of injuries as well so to regroup and get themselves back on track yeah I'm going to stick with the Giants and well done to Sam Taylor signing himself an absolute monster of a contract was it eight years yeah I tell you what there's been big contracts throughout the week um dished up so a lot of players extending and you know we think 2030 is a long period of time but it's just around the corner but that seems to be the go at the moment clubs are really you know Sydney's offering some up and every every club's just uh dishing out long-term deals well you think Sydney probably ended up winning uh winning that deal with what they offered buddy he got him over and probably in the end with the obviously contracts got changed halfway through they probably got him for unders as to if you if you're going to do it for three years and then four years and another three years they probably got him for unders yeah oh absolutely and it was a the risky take and you know really that play paid for itself in the first year or two with the amount of marketing and jumpers and everything they sold so yeah no yeah congratulations you get a long a long deal you take it exactly right now Saturday uh Saturday afternoon West Coast versus North Melbourne at opta Stadium no Harley Reed do North Melbourne oh sorry will North Melbourne have a better chance of winning a game this season than this one no this is it this is I think they play I think we've gone around I think they play West Coast later on in the year as well because we always said you know there was odds on there Will North Bel Go the whole year without getting a win and we said well they play Richmond and then they play Richmond beat him and then they play West Coast and they play West Coast again so um but without Harley at home you know probably the one later on in the year when it's in Mel might give him more of a chance but you know the Eagles are up and about the Eagles are running okay so Harley Reed would be a big dent for him but we saw him play a few weeks ago without Harley and they were still able to get the be competitive so I think they got too much too much now I think especially if Waterman comes back in you know they got a key big forward North Melbourne you know defensively they play well but they just can't get ball forward and kicking enough goals so yeah I I think the Eagles at home yeah I I look at I've been comparing Hawthorne and North Melbourne for a long time and I look at the Midfield of Hawthorne right now and they're so young they're actually younger than the North Melbourne Midfield and they're getting forward they're kicking goals and they just look so exciting whereas the North Melbourne you take ldu out of it and who might not even be there next year and you go well who's that guy in there you know who's going to break a game open if you haven't signed a contract now you're not going to be there next year y especially if you're North Melbourne yeah yeah that's what I mean if you're playing for north melban and you haven't committed to give the team a lift throughout the year you're not committing you're you're seeing what else other opportunities are out there and you know fair enough I don't I don't dis feel discomforted against players especially when you know it's going to be a long Road and yeah this is your career this is what you want to do you want to play in finals you want to win premierships and you want to be known and uh you know there's plenty of players that have been able to go to other clubs and be very very successful so tough time tough call but uh yeah for me I still reckon the Eagles did you hear about a a Sydney star who went home to wa to um see his family last week and might have got put up at the crown by uh the freem manal Dockers oh just in case no I didn't but uh very good juicy news thank you yes uh ch War oh well they just who they they they um will yeah Will hwood and he signed so you got Gordon sign long term Haney Haywood the lizard the lizard andz what they say lizards can leave to that 200 so yeah well he signed he signed until 2038 now you know 2030 or something so you know you have four long-term deals that's a big that's unbelievable for a football club club plus they got Brody uh Brody Grundy I think uh Melbourne and Collingwood are both paying part of his contract this year and then Sydney will also have to start paying that next year by the sound so might be some uh contract restructuring or some some uh some swans because you can't fit everyone in as much as they are but yeah they're some very creative accountant they do very oh top and bottom ended contracts they do that very well there but St kilder versus Gold Coast Suns Saturday night really really looking forward to this matchup uh Marvel Stadium Gold Coast are favorites in this one despite not winning away from home this year mate how do you see this one going well you know I'm super excited I really wanted to get to this game I'll go and watch the Saints next week against Brisbane but um I want to get down CU I this would be a cracking game this would be a good game the Saints and you you saw it there without King and he's out he won't play this weekend so will they move the ball a lot quicker a lot Freer will they start then using their run and see what they can do will it be high scoring and make every fan fall off their chair I don't know we because that's what the Suns do the Suns will kick high scores they will run they'll use the footy and you know I same as the dogs and lions I had both of these sides ticked and I'm a Saints fan and I'd love the Saints to win but I think what the sun's been able to do over the last month I'm going to stick with the Suns I just I like what they're doing you know even you know just they've got enough that defensively we've spoken about every part of their game and I just think they've got enough yeah on the road's going to make it tough Marble's going to T make it tough but the long the longer you go without a win the closer the next one is surely and I just think they just got to get that one win away from home and that hudo is broken and then you see one win becomes two away from home and then oh what hudo so they've just got to get that that first win away from home and I think they've got a great opportunity this week they're all playing well and it's just that until they do it yeah there's always that doubt that's going to sit in the back of your mind and I'm I'm tipping the Suns this week I'm backing to do it I think it was smart by them last week give wit he a week off and he'll be coming back in against R Marshall we know how dominant Marshall can be but um witz is just so strong Marshall's not going to be able to throw him to the ground like he does to the to a lot of the Ruckman um Suns for me in this one mate yeah well you know realistically if you take care of Ry Marshall you you're nearly yeah you're 30% there because he's main ballg he gets you know 20 25 possessions around the ground uses the ball kicks goals he does everything right and wi he won't allow that so yeah sad I I really want to go for the Saints but you know what my tipping this year I've got to start trying to actually think about who's going to win and I actually believe the Suns could actually get a win here yeah and then watch the Saints win this week mate yeah but by 40 points yeah now Sunday afternoon 3:20 Sydney up against the cats at the CG cats just grinded out a win last week do you see him getting one this week mate no yeah no not at home not Sydney I I think um you know jonga got a lot of work to do they got aot a few players missing as well scg a lots more I'm sure Tomahawk won't be there because it just doesn't really suit him that that you know especially the two big keys and just you can't go past Sydney The Lost One game for the year they do everything right they sign players they they know what they need to do you got Parker playing in the twos who cops weeks and no no but you they've just got they've just got a lot of depth and their for line starting to really operate well you just and as we mentioned like even if all comes bad you know peple can still go in the middle there's so many options that you just can't cover them all yeah I look at this one and jalong the probably one weak point this year has been their their rocks and their Midfield like that's probably been their weakest link and that's Sydney's strongest so I absolutely expect Sydney to beat him up on the middle or in the Midfield this week and wouldn't be surprised you probably penelene Warner and uh and Heeney for two goals each yeah and we know that you know the scg it's really it's a difficult game to it's a difficult ground to play if you don't know it because you come out of the middle quick kick suddenly you're 35 M out where normally you be the top of the 50 so it it just it does upset everyone because you restructure you're Senter half forwards not worth anything yeah because it's they're not in positions and you watch The way Sydney set up compared to other teams and yeah you do your homework but it doesn't matter you know we can still see when GRS have got the skinny ground they still kick it out on the FL because they're just not used to it yeah and it's no different decides going up there so yeah Sydney for me now Sunday night love this Sunday night fixture with the long weekend it's I think Melbourne's buzzing with this one it's it's been so long since idan's been in the top four Colton versus Idan at the MCG there's a great feeling around both sides at the moment yes the bombers got beaten last week but Gold Coast away the top four side I'm really looking forward to seeing how these two go up oh how these two match up and if ESS didn't beat Colton they're making finals I'm saying it right now well I reckon if Caron be e same thing I if because the bombers the bombers are sitting second so Caron's fifth so you're sitting there top two top five teams and I think we've underes like the bombers have been good been good who they played we saw him get fan out not get faned out but suns are always hard to beat at home but for cartton to go to Port and smash Port out beat don't beat him but they beat him convincingly and then you come back and they should take care of ESS and all think pretty easy I just think Carlton it's time not to underestimate him anymore you got to give him credit where credit's due and they are saying when you look at them on paper and how they're playing footy at the moment I think you've got to take cartton they've got two big two big forwards they Midfield as we say they they control stoppages they love the stoppage situation and the defensive side back in the team really straightens them up really gives them that run you know what you just they're just all playing they're just doing their job yeah I I find it you take care of Zack Merritt um you know also you know couple the yeah package um you know two me pet had been a little bit up and down so you kind of sit there and go they haven't got anything real consistent going they've won games but I think Caron are much more I think they're a better team I think if you look at kton side they've just got too many weapons on paper and if one doesn't stand up if Harry mcy doesn't stand up usually you see a great game from Charlie kerno and if Charlie kerno is getting shut down usually you see Harry mcy stand up and be best on ground and a matchup I'm looking forward to seeing this week finally they've never played against each other which is so hard to believe the the MC twins Ben and Harry yeah for so long there been rumors that that they're the same person they've never been in the same room with each other they've never played against each other it's always been ones out and uh or when Ben mcco was playing for North Melbourne but yeah I I just can't go past Calton in this one I'm six or seven goals would you for the fear of it all just only have one of them run out I like change and then go hang on okay where is he like that would be hilarious like yeah late change and he's not at the ground well they're pretty identical do you reckon where they could switch gys and people would know Dar the wakand boys could do that yeah Daryl and Shane Wakeland could have done that and you wouldn't have known so I'll tell you um told your story a few weeks ago about the old man and uh so he was coaching Association level and there was some twins uh playing arra footy and uh one twin was um just killing it absolutely killing it the other one you know didn't have the best game and half time they swapped gsies anyway this other anyway he gave the best on ground to the wrong twin because yeah they they swapped gsies at half time I love that that's good I love I'd love to be a twin and be able to do stuff like that that'd be perfect but it would be it's great to see the brothers go up against each other like this and um yeah but for me and you just saying that like even if Harry Harry's not getting a touch he's able to go back defensively like they're able to rotate what positions they play we've seen kerno go back at times just to play the role Harry can get up the ground so they're so versatile than they were they're not structured as a full forward Center half forward anymore they're more than that you know years last year we were complaining they couldn't play on the same team together yeah and now we're saying we want another two of them well I think getting Harry MC outside and his kickings just changed completely in they're competing they're both competing when the ball hits a deck compared to a lot of other key forwards I think around the comp is you seeing both busting packs that throwing bodies around and you don't want to match up on them yeah yeah absolutely and they fly for everything they fly for everything now Monday we said earlier the freeze m andd game 320 tune into this one everything that goes with it Collingwood fans Melbourne fans they're all wearing the same they're all arguing with each other but you wouldn't know it it's uh going to be a fantastic day I couldn't tell you who I'm going to pick in this one but Melbourne have previously had the wood in these freeze m andd games I want to tip the days I I kind of look at it and uh it's hard because as you say both teams they don't argue they argue with against each other they argue with each other at the stage that they both their teams are at they argue every part n9th F1 so you wouldn't have thought this at the start of the Year either yeah and you can't split them on form on I think I don't know the odds are a190 a194 I think the Lin's at Point half so not even a point so you cannot split them calling with all the injuries Melbourne absolute disgraceful effort last week and I'm going off the back of that I'm saying okay Melbourne were disgraceful last week you've got the big freeze you got Neil danur in the rooms there's no way known you can't be inspired and make something of that and I know a lot of people say oh yeah the inspiration only start only stays there for a minute or two no it doesn't there's no way known Goodwin wouldn't say at quarter time half time three quarter time have a look around have a look at all those beanies and what do they represent you've got an opportunity right here right now to stand up and I I think to me that's motivation enough especially for players like um you know day um you know you got gone the tra you know all of it to get plenty of the footy I just think those kind of players will rise and so with doost the doost boys love big moments like this but if Melbourne can't win on the back of what the day is about yeah I I find it hard they they've got to they have to give something more than what they gave last week and I'm sure they will yeah we look at the teams they've lost to this year they've actually beaten top four top eight teams a lot but they've been dropping games we saw him lose to West Coast we saw him I mean Freeman probably not a bottom eight side he could probably say anymore but no that they're still losing a lot of these games that they should be winning or at least you know competing with and um Melbourne for me this week I think they're going to bounce back and bounce back hard in this one and if they shut down Nick Doos they win the game it's simple as that and I hope they do you as in like I hope they have a a proper run with you know there's plenty of players in their team that can you know be with him and be smart about the which way they run but just don't let him don't let him free cuz you know what he can do and I'd be expecting anytime Jack vony gets anywhere near Nick Doos look out he's going to get buried pretty hard I I reckon and absolutely absolutely so yeah for me I think Melbourne Melbourne too much pride surely fully agree when you want 35 years of experience in

should be looking on top sport it's 35 points is it 35 is it no I had a look earlier on the week so it's drifted out a little bit drifted out but uh Deon prestia Tim Toranto shy Bolton will all return for Richman this week and I reckon that's that's a big that's a big G that's at least five or six goals um between those three there so tigers at the line for me in that one um and then the rest of the week just all wins gws to beat the Hawks down in tazy West Coast to beat North Melbourne Opus and Sydney to beat jalong up at the SJ that'll give you $550 yeah I was going to say the swans are L $15 or something are they $130 oh are they that's a good bit that's a good bit all right five 550 well with me I think there's only one thing you can celebrate this weekend it's the fact that it's a king's birthday yeah well under the king so I'm taking them I'm taking Charlie Charlie kerno to kick three plus y and Ben King so it be Charlie King like fren like the King's real name so Ben King to kick three Charlie KERO to kick three so the king to kick three plus and that will give you about uh $370 there's something in that there's got to be something in that I reckon and Max King just had to go and uh and ruin it for you last week by getting injured oh yeah I know yeah I wanted Maxi King I wanted the double Kings but I think Charlie Charlie and King uh there got to be absolutely so that's my uh that's my b of the weekend well who knows St ker might not might not even kick three goals away that been going this year mate no they're going to be on fire absolutely all right mate finish off going to move into questions without notice and I've got a doer for you here all right right the power's gone off and you've been locked in a inside a shopping center for 12 hours your aim is to survive until the morning now would you rather be locked in with one angry hungry salt water a crocodile or five angry brown snakes oh and you can't close doors none of the doors are locking you've just got to say alive morning I'll take the Croc I'll take the Croc I hate snakes I absolutely like I I love watching crocodiles you know when they they're in the and they drop down under the water and they're none of the water moves you just don't know where they are they're dodgy and seedy as they come but I'll dve take Crocs I just hate snakes I just could not I can't pick up a snake I can't touch a snake I hate them yeah right I definitely take the uh the crocodile I sorry take the snakes oh really yeah you don't bother snakes they tend not to bother you I've yeah I've dealt killed a few Fair few of my Lifetime on the farm do you have a few over there oh Lots yeah come Harvest time we've got a shovel in every corner of the house from uh yeah you probably say one one or two maybe oh every month or around summertime really yeah no brown snakes couldn't do it yeah couldn't do it like have you has any just popped out in surpris you like yes you know you've jumped into a tractor or you jumped in the car and then suddenly Bingo there's a snake sitting there or mom was at the local supermarket in you know small local country supermarket and there was a uh had um you know some young fellas take it over a couple of Indian fellas and um yeah Mom was in there just doing a shopping and yeah spotted a brown snake just crawling you know near a feet um in the supermarket so yeah k killed it and went and showed the boys did she she should have got did she make the paper no no it's just this just what happens in country towns mate did the Indian boys would they crap the pants or yeah they weren't real sure about it ah all right we uh we got Paris Olympics coming up very very soon if you could have Australia win a gold medal in any sport what would you love us to win a gold medal at what would you be front and square just what watching I'm a huge huge basketball fan I would love nothing better than to beat the American basketball team who think they're all this and they're all that just beat them for the gold medal match I I couldn't think of anything better yeah how about yourself mate uh I think you can't go past the 100 yeah you know to have the big mullet you know to have a big yeah just to have a big mullet on the 100 meter line just buffed and jacked and ready to go and like you'd hear the commentary for the rest of your life you know Bruce mcavan sitting there calling it and you just see him coming down the straight and for for an Aussie to win to be the fastest man on earth over 100 m would be just unbelievable that that's for me that's the one you want to win I think what they need to do is uh put a pair of uh just some a footy go post at the end and then to kick a footy towards it and have Tom patley starting in lane four absolutely and I reckon he would Blitz the field and break all World Records running back towards go and kick it yep and kick it imagine the celebration too once he crosses that Finishing Line Hey he'd probably beat the 400 meter record [Applause] too anyways mate that's just about all we got time for this week uh anything from you no I just want to say every body enjoy the weekend we understand it's a big
