biased North fan, but I was actually really good chat,
went through the matchups and things like that. Marcus is
on that part as well, so good fun. Well yeah,
it was good fun, good chat. And obviously it's the
biggest game of the weekend. Would you say Good Friday

(01:19):
is bigger than Easter Monday?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
No mate, No, no mate.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
As a Hawthorn supporter, I'd say it's not's biggest game
of the year. So it's it's massive, that's all. That's
going to be a sellout as usual the last three years,

Jackie into the best small forward in the competition?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Exactly? They were both.

They were both from you.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
They were both from me. So yeah, let us know
your answers on the socials and the YEARNR beers social

Speaker 3 (02:10):
That's your issue, is it all right? Apparently it is
delegation And.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Again for the second Thursday showing a row as he
actually got to throw throw it to me, I was rushing.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Have you actually got the subscribe account up to do?
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Six and sixty so you know we're on track to
go ten k boy round ten. We've been going up
about a k a week.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
To start the season, so that's wild. Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Smash if you're listening and you're not subscribed, and smash
the scribe one.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Very good thank you and of course, all the podcast
platforms were on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, all the major ones. All. Right,
before we get into all the rest of the games,
we're going to do a Good Friday preview with Money
cop a special segment for our AFL Today Team show.
We are joined by Kane of TV's own She would
take a bullet for Aid and Cores. I heard just
before Marti co on, thank you so much for jumping on.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Hi, thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I don't know if you wanted me to say that part,
but you love AI and I can see the bad Joe.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
It's not the first time I've well, I have said that,
so I guess if you want to say it again.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I thought you're going to say. It's not the first
time we've taken a bullet.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
I've taken many metaphorical bullets for that man eighteen months.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I reckon that might happen on this segment as well.
We've also got Marcus Bars and he's already been injured
on the show, but he's here again.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I have but if I was going to take a
bullet for Ben Makay, I think I'd probably be dead
by him.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, I think a lot of people would be I'm
glad he's not playing for us. Today we're going to
go to a North Melbourne versus Carlton preview with a
bit of Kangar TV, bit of buyers. We've got the
North scarves on. We don't get a lot of North
buyers on this show, so I'm very happy with that.
But obviously got the Good Friday super Clash, which is
an awesome match between North Melbourne and Carlton. North. We
just got to get a win on Good Friday out money.
We haven't had one on Good Friday. We've got a
lot of smashing ever, I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Once so we beat and Kilda.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I forgot about the same killda one there did it?

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Forget? It was literally one of the worst guys that
I forgot.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
That was Good Friday. That was one of the worst
games of all time.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
It was yeah, really tight, sluggish first half and then
North just turned on in the second. Yes, that's I
wanted only win on Good Friday. Yeah, hopefully fingers crossed.
And how long it was that was that nineteen Yeah that.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Was a while ago, But that's all right. I Reckon,
I Reckon has a chance to as a non biased
North End you reckon Thers have a chance to.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely the Carlton I'm playing very well now
and their second half have been deplorable obviously against West
Coast like it's a it's a token win.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, as we talked about on the watch.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Lose this week against surely not but yeah there with
him with a chance. Absolutely talking about some positives for
the day. You obviously got the Good Friday appeal Rory
lob as well. I don't know if you guys saw it. Oh, yes,
his head. What do we think about that? It's better
than the lobster the Good Friday Appeal logo.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Surely yeah, yeah, you know anything is better than that.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Love so.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Everyone else on the show was saying it look good,
it looked, it was good. It was good from the
barber because it looked tough, not on field.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
The barber love any credit for that.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. He's a bit of a tool.
And did he just do that for a bit of TikTok?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Oh no we're not.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
It's Good Friday some money, No, no, none of the
Good Friday won the last of course, the lobstery. No,
of course, I love the good Friday, Good Friday bill,
haircutters go very We'll all go to get the Estamon tattoo.
I couldn't quite get an appointment and gather round, but
I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Think it's right.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Actually, yes, that's a good thing. Yeah, that's probably a
good thing. More positives than news for North is Aldi
obviously just signed a big contract. I think he needs
to lift a little bit. But he's played alright on
the weekend, zero goal three, He should have finished a few,
but he happy with that. As a North fan, so happy.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
I think it's like it's so important to have the
buy in from the players off field, and if one
or two of these big players don't show their faith
in the direction where the club is heading, then you
feel like is a bit of worrying signs. And so
it's trying to find that balance between patients and building
something great and then the fans who are getting impatient
because we've been so bad for so many years. As

(05:50):
a fan, while I'm super impatient, I'm getting restless, as
I'm sure you are. Definitely to see these players buying
in off field and committing them to the tech, committing
to the club long term. That's obviously like it kind
of balances it out a little bit.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, good go. And then I saw a North post
about the mass exodus were supposed to have and about
six of the guys that were supposed to be leaving
are all signing. So at least we've got some good
signs and some good good guys staying around for once,
which it doesn't always happen. There's some faith in the
club upstairs upward, so hopefully that just needs to translate
on the field, hopefully turn a little bit more honorable
losses into wins. Yep, no, I agree, a few more

(06:25):
positive Georgie Wardlow is back. I think that's a huge
in for North. We've talked about a lot on this
sholing Marcus Leo myself about how a lot of the
midfielders aren't running two ways. George Waller puts his body
in the line. He has chased down tackles every game.
We are we happy with that?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
So excited?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, so excited, thank god.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Honestly, time we injected a little bit of defensive pressure
exactly and two way running into our midfield. So it'll
be a very very welcome back for George. Sure, big
big booster morale booster for the team.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, it is. I think he's that sort of that
guy that's just going to lift some other guys hopefully
to just crash some packs and put their bodies on
the line line because.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
In that midfield really now only crushing packs is older you. Yeah,
so if you had Matt Reel in that midfield, if
you had Matt Reel, if you had George, if you
had George Wardlaw on Matt Real last week, it might
have helped. You might not have had a bigger impact
because you can run with him and George Wardlock and
lay a tackle on Matt Real.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Two guys bodies. Have you got a tuck in your shirt?
Just to be a bit stronger tucking the shirt Wardlaw realized. Yeah,
another one. A lot of people are talking about who
were the best more forwards. I think you even said
this surprisingly that Paul Curtis is one of the best
more forwards in the competition they can't in bench press. Yeah,
what are your thoughts on that? Mine? Yeah, he's been
unbelievable this.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Year and so I got to take another level this year.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
He was I don't know where he sits now, but
he was in about the top ten of the common
going into round five.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Just taken.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
He's always been good, but he's only twenty two, so
he just keeps on getting better and you can just
imagine he's still got.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Room to grow each together.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
And I think the forward line with the edition of
Jack Darling now is just helping the forward line and
the structure of the forward line just works so much
better and it just allows a much more even spread
of matchups across the board, and that way guys like
a Curtis or like a Larkie or even a Zerha
who's playing a slightly different role, but they can all
kind of be matched up properly and actually have a chance.
Whereas before we had a bit of a mismatch in

(08:17):
the forward line and so you know there was often
two teaming on Lakie and then Amzerha was getting the
second tall defender and we were just no chance. So yeah,
I think that one edition has been able to just
benefit everyone in the forward line.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, this is actually good. We usually have nuggets of
knowledge that we talk about, but we've actually got someone
with a lot of knowledge once on this show, which
is very good talking about some of the matchups. This
is the main part I wanted to talk about on
this previous some of the key matchups because obviously that
Carlton have some absolute stars. They drop off, I think
on their depth, but they've got some absolute stars. So
first one, we talked about him before Aid and Core.
Do we think he's going to come up against Charlie Kerner,

(08:49):
who has had fourteen goals in his last three games
against North. Do we think that's the matchup or is
it common who's a bit more athletic on him? What
do you guys think?

Speaker 5 (08:56):
I think it needs to be.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Aiden Core is at the moment our best lockdown defender.
I'm not just saying that's not as fires, yeah, just
saying that I think he would have to be the
one to get the job. Griffin Log's form since coming
back from injury in the past couple weeks has been
a little bit iffy, and Charlie compan's better when he's
just sort of let off the leash a little bit,
allowed to roam and just be more of that sort
of drop off intercept defender. So I would definitely back

(09:17):
Aiden Core. And with Harry McKay not playing.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
That's so helpful, it's awesome, it's awful.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Yeah, and it's not like it's obviously not great what
he's been going through and it's just added complication for him.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
But from a North perspective on field, this just helps
our matchups a lot more so. Yeah, I'd say Aid
and Core definitely do the job.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Marcus as a non bias how many do you think
North can stop Kerner from kicking? Like so, how many
think he's going to kick? He hasn't been a great form.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
I think he's only kicked about six goals from four
games something around that mark, so he hasn't been to
his usual best. But obviously with Harry mckaie out, all
the focus is going to be on Charlie Kerner, all
those long kicks inside fifty.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yep. This is where Charlie Combon as an.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Intercept player, true, yeah, can float across the pack take
a mark and as well Brody Kemp's injured for Carlton
as well, so he did his achilles on the on
the weekend gather around against West Coast. I forgot about
that on again, just it's a little miner positive for
the North on the defensive side of things.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I agree with that one. This is probably One of
the biggest anticipated matchups is Cherry verse TDK. Now everyone's
saying it, could Cherry be the and TDK is probably
in the better form. I'm a little bit worried about Cherry.
We've been talking about a lot on this show. He
looks a bit injured, the man with the big helmet.
I don't know, there's something about him that just doesn't
look right because he hasn't been planning his best. Yeah,
why aren't you rocking the helmet for the show. I've
seen you wear a helmet as well. I have won

(10:36):
a helmet.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
I have to grab that photo put it on the episode.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
In twenty nine were the rooms? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, we had a Tristan Cherry tribute game last
year end up in a win.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Was that winn against.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Richmond, which was because everyone was running the helmets?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Und put it all.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Down to that.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah, Cherry, he injured himself slightly against Adelaide a hamstring
issue in that first quarter, and he hasn't really looked
right since.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
And I mean this, we're recording this before the teams
come out.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
But I wonder if Carlton do opt to go for
Pittnett and TDK and allow TDK to float forward a
little bit as well to help out Kernel. That is
an option that we've seen before, and I think that
would definitely serve them if they did it. So look,
I don't know, it's hard like Sherry if he's not
one hundred percent right.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
He was beaten by Wits in the racket last week.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah he was, Yeah, which is a bit of a
I think he played he dominated him last year from memory,
so it's a bit of a worry.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Yeah, So I'm not I'm not really sure what they're
going to.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Do with that.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, at the game, like we were at the game, Yes,
it was very hot. He just struggled to get around.
I feel what with Witzy, he's not really known as
that get around the ground top of player. But even
Cherry you could sort of feel that, you know, something
wasn't quite right.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, now that's that's the worry. So I think, I
annoyingly think TDK will have a really big game, But
I'm fingers crossed the Cherry can bounce back and he'll
be all right. Xt One Lakie Verse Weeding. I'm pretty
sure Laki's had a five gold game on him before
seven seven. Well, I think there's two. That's why I
didn't want to say the exact stat there his number.
Clearly he's got his number. Weirdering obviously is a very

(12:11):
good defender, doesn't lose many one at once. But Laki,
he's in amazing form, can win the Coleman do. We
think there's probably be a really.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Exciting matchup and they got to be a really great matchup.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
But I think the one benefit if Larkie doesn't have
a good day and if Weadering does get the better
of him, is we have so many more options forward of.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
The ball, like you've got Jack Darling.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Jack Darling, like I said, was brought into the side
to help the structure of the forward line.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Overall. I was so against him and he has been
It's really good.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
He's been really good. I'll take it. I can eat
my words on that.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Okay, good because I literally have his badge.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
The quickest bad jo. Very nice.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
There is massive JD found his kicks six goals already
so far this year, just to add to whatever Zerha
and Curtis and Larkie have been doing. Look, I think
Larkie always well so far to out the season. I
should say he's really been able to find a way
to get on the scoreboard. It was late against the
Sun last week, probably in that junk time. It was
kind of the game was already over.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
We didn't get it down there until he keeps a
couple of goals. But it was tough at the end
of Yeah, I can.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Imagine the barosso especially we'll be watching other things, not
just the footy. So yeah, I think it definitely will
be a big match up, and I think that Laki.
While I do back that he should be able to
be good enough to at least impact the scoreboard a
little bit, I also do think that it's not such
a massive concern if he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, other people stepping up. You've got other stepping up.
No good call, Lark. He's got seventeen goals in seven
matches against Carlen, one of his sort of better records,
which is just pretty exciting against a really good defender.
A couple more matchups Patrick Cripps versus Older sort of
the bulls of the midfield. Both guys like to attack.
It would just be interesting to see if we can
hold Crips down. Because North just add no chance against

(13:48):
Maddie Row last week. His hips I swear you can't
grab him. He can't like it, or maybe we're just
bad at if any, but it looked like we couldn't
grab him. So hopefully Yeah, that Alderu Chris matchup. What
do we think? You did have some pre greame more
gezz emotional. He did have some pre game graphs.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I heard Maddie round So yeah, we're talking about the
grass on the field.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
There's some good protein there. Yeah, yeah, that's true, that's true.
What do you think, Marni Crips verse audio will be
fun matchup?

Speaker 6 (14:11):
I think it'll be and maybe not so fun for us.
I think the thing with Crips is not just what
he is capable of just physically, but spiritually as well.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Like he's definitely the one that can.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Lift when needs Yeah, big leader.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
So I really and Ldu, well, he's a fantastic player,
and you know he's not a leader, and that's okay.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Not every great player has to be a leader.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Very true.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
So I'm hoping that Elder You can just go about
his business. I hope that we also work to support.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Elder You as he needs. Yeah, so I'm interested to see.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
No, I really agree with it. I love that Yeah,
you don't have to be a leader if you if
you're one of the better players. There's already a few
leaders at North so that's all right. Last one in
the matchups that's on not on field, this one Clarko
versu VOSSI who do we think is going to last longer?
Who do we think is the better coach right now?
I'll start with you, Marcus, better coach right now? You're
not the bias man, Like, who would you want coaching
your team right now out of Clark VOSSI?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Uh, can I have none of the bum you gotta
pick one of if I've got to pick one actually
coachingdon they come over to coachesident in your team right now?

Speaker 5 (15:10):
He doesn't want to either, but he stuck with Brad Scott.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah, exactly Scott. I'm not sure if I want Brad
Scott either.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
I feel like they're both the man before the man
to win you the finals. I think Clarker was there
to get the club back on track, both above board
and also on the field as well. Whether he's still
got that in him to win finals matches and win
a premiership yet to be seen, obviously. At Hawthorne, but
yet at North Melbourne. So if I had to pick one,

(15:41):
I'd say Clarkson's having the better season so far, so
I'd go with Clarkson.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's a big call. I don't right, what do you
think of Mardi? Are you happy with Clark at the moment?
And what do you reckon compared to VOSSI?

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah, no, take Clark.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I know, got the question there. There just some other
stats before we get into it. I want to tip
from you guys as well. Both teams obviously one and four,
the Blues bottom four offense, North are the bottom four defense,
So I'm thinking this could be I reckon this could
be high scoring though I know the Blues haven't been
high scoring, but the way the rules were defending last week,
what was it, one hundred and forty to eighty nine,

(16:15):
hundred and forty one to eighty nine, do we think
it's good? I think both teams could score one hundred plus.
That was going to be my We're going to chat
about that on the show. Do you what do you
guys reckon a high scoring game?

Speaker 5 (16:23):
I think so? Yeah, especially under the roof, like it's
perfect condition. Yeah, it's going to be a beautiful day.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Tomorrow. It's going to be so hot in there. It's
when the roof.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
It's not going to be it's not humid. I think
it should be fine.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
It'd be less than the Brossa was. Oh my god,
people were faiting. Even know.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
If you're at the round one game against the Dogs.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I was that was brud to die so that, Oh
my god, I felt I can't. I was sitting there
like I played a game.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, you can't breathe like it was so yet we.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Had Nick Liking in front of us at the Barosso
and he was almost the game, but it looked like
he was about to spew it.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I know that wasn't a good sign, but it was
thirty three degrees. That sounds like playing that that type
of thing. What else we got? The Blues have won
five the last six meetings, so things in the stats
are leaning towards the Blues. But they've only won the
first times. They haven't won many second assets we've touched on.
I'll take a tip and a margin from you guys
to wrap it all up, but many your tip please,
I know your tipp and I'm guessing you're tiping North.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, what do you reckon?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
The margin will be three goals, three goals not we
always win by like five points if we win, so
I'll take three goals.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Come on, give it to me.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed the last quarter.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah that like against Melbourne. That was the first I
was saying. That was the first time I've sung the
song with like ten minutes to go in about ten years.
So I would love that tomorrow Senn and Carlton. Can
we just beat both of them and they'll be happy?
Oh I am still here, but yeah, sorry, they give
me a tip for tomorrow. I think I feel bad
for actually tipping you guys. Are you're just throwing that
little jab at me?

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Alight?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, I'll go North Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Still, I think they're definitely able to takes a lot
of people saying Carlton the defensive area of the ground
is where they struggled. Like Nick Haynes didn't have the
best start. The Carlton yeah, has looked very below path.
But it is the fur line that's issue and without
without Harry McKay, sorry, that's just another element that they
won't have and a lot of pressure we put on

(18:11):
Charlie Kerner. I think if Carlton win Charlie Cerner is
going to have to kick at least four or five
and I just.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
But he loves Marvel.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
But again with this three tall defenders of North Melbourne
sort of bashing in the contest, I think North Melbourne more.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I just get it done within a kick. This is
the first time on to show that all three people
have tippy nor North. I'm going to say by a
singular point, I think we're going to be stress. I'm
going to be so stressed, and I reckon it'll be
just coming down to the wire. I reckon that point
will last for like the last ten minutes and we're
just stressed and no one's scoring. It's just crap footy
for the last.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Ten Give me just thinking about that.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sorry, but if we win, we just never win comfortably.
So yeah, sorry sorry. Would you rather lose by point
or ten goals? Well? Were you either the heartbreak or
watch the point? But then it's like the old or
North Melbourne loses another game? Yeah, honorable loss. That's trusting

(19:05):
neither above. Okay, it's just a winning anyway. Well ended
on a Positi. We're all tipping North, so that's that's
at least a positive. All tipping North for this big one.
I don't know if Leo is it behind the camera
over there, but we're going off him later on the show.
But thank you so much money for jumping on today.
And thanks Marcus, Yes, thank you. You'll be back on
for the rest of it. Let's get right back into
the usual show.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
All right.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
That was an awesome chat with Marney Kangus TV's and
we all tipped North Melbourne surprisingly so.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
But there is a man on the end of the
couch that hates North Melbourne. No, I don't hate North Malbol.
They're actually my second favorite team. Oh there, I just
I can't trust them to win a game of football.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
So who are you tipping?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
I'm tipping Carlton by how much? Fifteen?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Didn't you say you had? Don't you guys have Carlton's
first rounder? Yes, yeah, so, wouldn't you want Calton? But
he wants this Carlton to lose?

Speaker 3 (19:48):
But he doesn't think no, no, no, okay, okay, I
want to give.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You I'm sorry. We're not tipping with our heart on
this show. Most of the time, it's a little bit
of we dabble him both, we tabble him both. That's true.
All right, let's get into the rest of the game.
Is actually two games on Good Friday this year we've
got West Coast first.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
As a way, which shouldn't be allowed. I think Good
Friday should just be the one game.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Uh, I don't really care. I'm happy that to play
on Friday during the day. I think more footy. I
don't mind it. But I know what you're saying. He's saying,
just conjit of that game.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yeah exactly. I feel like it's not the same sort
of type as Anzac Day. But even Inzac Day, got
a second look, they've had two games on that day.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think one game. Yeah, I know, Good.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Friday is such an occasion, as such a build up
it was. It was originally one game. The one game
on that day was true.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
A Google game is a little bit of a later start,
the four twenty start.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
I think you just got to keep it and especially
if you put if you're putting on a second game
on Good.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Friday, at least make it a good game.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, that's why it's West Coast first. Accident Friday night,
six ten, add off the stadium. We'll go through the teams.
You're on Essendon Man you just had a crap game,
but they could get a big win here. So give
me the teams please, just ins and outs for me,
Marcus for the Bombers.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Obviously, Nick Brian went down with the ACL. It's a
second ACL the Bombs something this year unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
But incomes good form too, so he was in some
good form he was, and.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
He gets around the ground a lot better than Sam
Draper does. To compliment each other really nicely, yes, and
more we weren't. I don't know if we'll see the
Sam Draper bull drop as much anymore because he's because
he already he will be the soul rockman because in
comes two meter Peter two seven seas.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
First game of the year, it is.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, he was injured for the start of the season,
and honestly, if Tom Edwards was still fit, I don't
know if he would get into the side. He might
be fairly fortunate with a couple of injuries, but other
than that only forced out was an injury. So I
think after two wins, he's got to keep the same team.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Same sub s.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, I assume, well I would go the same sub.
He's that Pac option off the bench as well, so
that's not too bad Leo the West Coast side.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's a lot of changes. It keeps on getting worse
and worse, flip flopping. With Tim Kelly's back into the
team already his blockbuster waffle performance.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Does anyone know how verible?

Speaker 3 (21:56):
I think it was like twenty disposals or something. Back
check me in the comments. Elijah Hewitt, Matt Flint and
Jeremy McGovern comes in. That's an important in Matt Flinn's
good in Flinneys all right. Bailey Williams omitted, Oscar Allen
managed off to see Sammy Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Come on, we got to get rid of We've got
to get rid of that term.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Man.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I agree managed is the most that's at least say
leaving the club at the end of the year on
the in and out.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, it should say Hawthorne slash Brisbane. Clay Hall and
Sandy brook also odmitted it felt for Sandy Brock he
was out of his depth against Big Charlie and Jesse
Hoak exactly. Look, if West goes they have any chance
of winning this game. I think they've got to stop
Essendon's run from half back. Saw Archie Roberts last week
was fantastic breakout game, got the rising star they direct.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, he was very good.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
And I just think Essendon want to play handball, receive
off their half backs at least try to when they can,
and that'll be the key for West Coast if they
can stop that, maybe make it a bit of a
scrap at their home ground, gets a knowledge they're going
to look.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Let's just put it simple. But the last meeting in Perth,
lads was a close six point point but they came back.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I remember that one came back.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
You're up, Yeah, six points we'll cruising through our majority
of the game. Merritt was immense. He kicks for everywhere.
Merritt's shoulders are so sore.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Merritt equals good.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
He's more air freshen room my car. Yeah, is that
the only reason?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
What does he smell like?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
He's good looking, he smells good.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Can't be success.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
He smells good. Kiss him every time man into the car.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Really, I wish, I wish yould do that to me. Also,
Bombers have also won five of the last six meetings,
like so there'd been a bit of confidence there and
West Coast it's not looking good. They're eighteenth for offense
and defense. I always like to look at that stat
where they're ranking on the offense and the defense. They
are dead last by and absolute miles. So that's not
good for West Coast. Let's look at the tabods for
this one. Essendon heads to head our a dollar twenty three,

(23:52):
West Coast four dollars twenty A bit surprised they're actually
that short. My best bet in this one is the
man we're just talking about. He's literally the only good
player at Essendon right now. That that's a bit ash.
Zach Merrett thirty plus disposals and to kick a goal
two dollars thirty five. I think that's really really handy odds.
He's averaging thirty three disposals and a goal and a
half this season. He also had twenty nine and three
are so four goals at Opter Stadium last season. So

(24:14):
really good bet there, two dollars thirty five. I'm really
keen on Zach Merrit and I'd be staying away from
a lot of other players in this one. All right,
that's tips margin. I already know who you're going to tip.
So how much an esident going to win by?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
I think Essendon will win by fifty five fifty five. Yeah,
fifty five. Yeah, I'm not that optimistic. I know what
it's like to be innessonon fan.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
But you want from West Coast. I'm going to tip
us by five or six goals. But all you want
to see from West Coast is I just need to
go down to.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
The ball a bit. They played well against Brisbane.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
They had the worst contested possession count in the history
of the game by that.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Lay in the fifties.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
That's that's seventies, NOBE.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
They lost the previous record.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
There were fifty nine I think contested possessions less than
the previous worst record. That is horrible, witch a shocking.
So you just want to see a little bit of
something from the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, but how many points? I'll go thirty three points,
thirty three, I'm gonna go Bombers by forty five. I
sort of agree that they can't blow him away massively,
especially over at OPTAs, but they're going to They're gonna
get it comfortable and it will probably be about that
margin after the halfway to the second quarter and just
sort of stay that. I reckon because the Bomber is
they're just going to tear him up. I reckon, all right,
let's get into the Saturday games Melbourne Verse Freeman or

(25:25):
Saturday one twenty at the MCG. Let's get into the
teams first. We'll still over there the Demons. There's a
lot of changes.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
There's a new big changes here, so Disco Turner, Tom
Fullerden and Colton dolstrip that team. I guess who comes
out boys Bailey Fridge and Van roy And both omitted
along with Jack Henderson.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Now fresh thoughts there. Bailey Fridge is one of the
biggest cuts in the AFL, but he has he played alright.
Last week he set up a lot of goals against Geelong,
so I don't think his stats have been sort of
showing that he hasn't been too bad. Should be kicking
a lot more goals, but I don't off. I don't
think you should be dropped and Rue he's they're only
tall forward and they can't they can't pass it into
the forward line in.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Tom Fullerton has been tearing it up via fl He
deserves a chance, but why can't you play this go
Turner is a bit inconsistent for my liking. I think
they should have dropped one of rich and Van Ruin,
not both. I don't care who.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
It was, just's I'm not I don't know as much
about the Befluton's a tall right from why can't you
play roy Van Royan and Fortune and they will help
rue out?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I agree, that's a great question. Let me have a
look at their team and I can't give you an answer. Mate,
there we go.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I'm a bit worried about Melbourne. I agree shaking it up,
but that's prettly both of them. Yeah, I might as
well drop Clarry. Very interesting what that got to do
with that today? Free of team Marcus.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
The free middle team only the one force changed pat
Vos obviously suspended yes weeks that it was attending a
tackle only.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Because Warston was bledding on the face. Is that three?
Maybe got three weeks for an over zealous celebration. I
loved it.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I didn't mean three free goals. Someone in the
AFL wouldn't have liked it, probably like Dame in Paris anyway,
teams in Oscar McDonald m yeah, free mental. Look they
didn't start the season.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Well, they've got the three wins on the trot now
now it's just making sure they win these games to
be a top four side. Which we thought that they
maybe could have been at the start of the season.
I still don't think they're a top four side. But
here's where they have to PREMI me one wrong and
with these remissions for Melbourne, they coulda win this game.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
They gotta win a big yeah, they do, but especially
those outs, I don't I don't see them winning this
at all. They've they have lost their last eight matches
in Victoria, so we do. We were roasting some Demons
fans for not turning up, but they just they haven't
won the win, don't have one in the state fague matches,
which is a big worry. And Melbourne are Frio's bunny.
In recent meetings. Last season, Freeo won by an average

(27:50):
of seventy one points and they've also won the last
two MCG meetings. So he had that game in ourice spring,
that win, and I remember all the Melbourne team. I
think Gorney was like, oh, we'll bounce back next time,
and then they lost by about fifty points the next time.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
So the kind of bounce back, yeah, margin forty points
every time he played team, You're going to be a
great team, like a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, a couple of years sure, look at the post,
this is man is the most negative man on the show.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
It might be the new studio. There's a new air
in here floating about either that of Marcus Fads.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah, that's probably usual after the wins. Let's get into
the odds with Tad Melbourne three dollars and ten cents
heads ahead three to zero a dollar thirty eight. I
think that's well deserved favorites there. My best bet the
man that is really consistent. I think we had him
in a multi last week. Michael Frederick two plus goals
at two dollars and five cents. He's my best player bet.
They're nine goals in five games this season. He's in

(28:43):
great form. I think he's too quick for the DS
that They've got a lot of few lockdown players, but
not that sort of guy that can keep up with
the speed of Frederick. So two plus goals is my
best bet. All right, tips margin I think Dockers by
sixty four.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Sixty four, we've got a few. Actually, I need to
go quite high.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I reckon, Yeah, it's not starting like a good weekend
of footy, But what do you mean, North Culetson, I
know that that could be honestly the best game of
the weekend. Yep, but that's not the weekend.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
I wouldn't be surprised if, like Melbourne caused an upset
in this game, but not with the changes they've just made.
So that's just completely swing my mind. Okay, I'm going
to go Freeman All by forty two points forty two.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
I'm going to go Docors by fifty. They played really
well at the g They've beaten Melbourne there a couple
of times. I'm trying to remember who else they bet there,
but they played. The only thing is the D's were
weirdly good against GWS.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
It wasn't the wet That has to be an outlined.
That was a big out that has to be right. Yeah,
I don't know what was that game? What happened? That
was weird?

Speaker 4 (29:40):
They can't kick a winnable scorergains free mental They averaged
sixty points for the season.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Actually, I'll tell you what happened. It was raining and
both teams couldn't kick a massive squrecase was raining.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
We could live in a world with giants. When the
flag D's finished bottom four and you look back to
that round one game and.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Go like what what was that? What is that? What
is that? What was that? Yeah? I agree dogs by
fifty For me, I think they're rising. They're using as
a club. I think they're going to be jumping up
the ladder and just show that they're really good. The
next couple of weeks, yep, next one Saturday, Adelaide taking
on j WS at the Adelaide Oval. They're pretty lucky.
They just get to stay Adelaide forever. Adelaide's still there.

(30:14):
I wish I was still there. I don't you know,
I don't miss Heinley stream probably anymore whole, but it's
from the let's go teams. Start with your Marcus Adelaide
team please. Yeah, well lucky you.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Went to me first because you'll find out about GBS
in a second. But our Lachlan Shaw omitted, James Peteling
obviously suspended.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Was that for the tackle?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I think so?

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
The danger stuff that was fair. Nick Murray and Sam
Berry comes in. He was one of those.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Sam Berry was one of those who thought would be
that B grade Adelaide player that would be the top
echelon of B graders in the competition.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, towards what happened to him, particularly the end of
last week. Can't get it. They've got too many of
those guys.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Is his player in front?

Speaker 4 (30:59):
And you still got a lot the likes of Neil
Boorn and yeah, was that coming as well?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Very similar players to take his spot because he was
good was it two years ago? Yeah, he was averaging
like lots of tackles like fifteen times machine and I
think he's a bit of a fan favorite at Adelaide.
Bring back looky Pedl's a bit he's going to be
in the team right No, unfortunately, is he an emergency

(31:23):
you know, but will be a tough game for the Adelaide
forwards is probably their biggest test, the Adelaid tool forwards.
That is, yep, the biggest test of the season.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Because the GWS tall defensive stocks are arguably the best
in the competition.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
They're very not even arguably they're yeah, I reckon yeah.
And Cadman's like on the like he's on the right
as well. He's looked really good. He was really good
last game, okay, and I really like him. Leo Jennifers,
team please, you.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
May as well just throw straight back to you because
there's no changes. Want to talk about it, but it's
a great team.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's a body. Great day back to you. Jeff was
the red car.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I don't know now. Look, there's no reason to change
this Giants side, is there after their performance against the Saints. Yeah,
their forward line seems to be functioning really well.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
They do have a bit of a taller forward line.
It goes unnoticed because Ricardi, you've got string. He's not tall,
but he can play like Cadman Hogan, Riccardi, Callum Brown
as well as mid size. So if they can work
out their positioning well enough, then it's happy days. And
that's what they're doing at the moment.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
There we go, There we go. No, that's a good
little analysis. They're a great matchup I reckon as well.
Last three meetings have been decided by sixteen points or less.
I reckon this is going to be another cracker. The
Crows have the number two offensejws other number one defense,
which is pretty of an interesting one. The Crows were
way ahead and then last couple of weeks have.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
They still scored one hundred?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
They still have got one hundred.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
The only team that's beating him is the Suns, who
were just lucky. They played North Melbourne and got one
hundred and forty one points, and the Giants have also
won four of the last five meetings. But this is
an interesting one. Is this going to actually this could
be the game of the round in terms of matchup.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, for teams that can score big me it probably is.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Probably is.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
There we go tabods as well for this one. Adelaide
a dollar eighty head to head. I'm surprised their favorites.
Actually GWS are two dollars, so that's probably the closest
market we have head to head this weekend. My best
bet in this one. A few people at our show
don't mind this man Mitchine twenty five plus disposals at
three dollars. I was surprised that he's three dollars twenty
five plus in his last two weeks. He loves to
dominate against GWS, which is a bit of a rare one.

(33:24):
He hasn't had some big games, but against the Giants
he's had thirty one and twenty five in his last
two meetings, So twenty five plus three dollars. Usually they're
around that two dollar mark, so a bit of extra
value there. You can just bet on that without a
multi or whatever. You want there we go. That's my
best bet. Tips and margin of this one, lads.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
I think juis sort of they don't run away with it,
but I think it's a cruisy sort of victory. They
stay about twenty points in front for the whole time.
Because I go to the Giants by twenty.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I think Giants by couple of kicks. Defense trumps offer. Oh,
defense wins championships. That's what That's what does Will Schofield
say for woarld sell memberships, brown lose no function, Premiership,
defense wins premiership, midfielders win awards, forward cell name miss chips.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
We all love and we all love friendship. Everyone knows
learn paint a picture. Yeah, he's too hot in here.
He's not made so cool. Now anyway, I'm going Giants
by ten points. Really close game in this one, and
I think this will be one of the games of
the round other than Northwest Carton. That's that's what I'm
going to say. All right, let's get into a quick

(34:34):
ad with TAB and then we'll continue the rest of
the show because nice game is going to be.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
Missed by one on the AFL. With TAB, you can
stay in the game missed by one on any disposal's
leg and tab will still pay you out as a
winner tab where.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
On imagine what you could be buying instead.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
All right, lads, Saturday night, seven thirty five, Marble Stadium
is Richmond's favorite ground, Marvel Stadium, Richmond taking on Gold Coast,
the dimmibile Damien Hardwick. He's back against the old side.
Let's go onto the teams. There's some interesting.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Ins so leto Yeah, Richmond, Richmond, no worries Sami Lawler
back in, back in. That's good, good for my super coaches.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
But he bought some briefs this time.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Well he has to because he's sponsored by Bonds, sponsored
a week off. I'm pretty sure he is right.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
We don't want a wardrobe mal funk. Can one of
you guys have a wardrobe malfunction so we can get
sponsored by Bond while calm down there, buddy, Samson, Ryan
comes into the side and Noah Bolter comes in.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
So that's the controversial one. That's just my opinion. He
shouldn't be in the team. I think it's a little
bit too soon for that. And yeah, a bit of
a disgrace if you ask me, No, I agree.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Possibly the reason why they didn't pick him and gather
around is because there would have been such a media storm.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
I think they still that's pretty wild, but that's not
for us to decide. Well, we can we can touch
on that letter the letter down the track. What do
we think about the Richmond team? I said this in
an article that you can check out on dot com,
a little bit of a shout out. He does a
lot of twenty five the articles a weekend.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Why do I but you should share yourself out because
you wrote this one.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I did write this one. But Richmond, What was I
going to say about first half? The first time? They
looked really good against Free and I was like, oh,
they've got a bit of pressure. But they do this
every week and then they drop off in the second
the opposite.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Against Brisbane the week before their first half Porn came back.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
They just have big lapses of concentration. They just lack
fitness and and they're very young side. So I think
they'll put up a fight in the first half, but
I'm worried about it.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
If you're a Richmond fan and you've watched every game
this season, you're like, look, they're better than not good,
but like something yeah, like men's West Coast. West Coast
is like going into the season, there's something in there
and now they're like a.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Lot of Richmond fans not good.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Ye, a lot of Richmond fans are waiting for Smiley
and he's going to be in there.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Surely high hopes were small.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
They're happy smile, low hanging fruit.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
But they actually haven't even played that bad this year,
have they?

Speaker 3 (37:00):
No, not at all. The Saints game was.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
A bit bad, but I don't know one yeah, yeah,
but they played well. Plas was pretty bad first half though.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
That's what I'm saying. There's something in that first half
that they can take out and be like they just.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Need to play for anyway. I've talked about enough about
Richmond Gold Coast team. Please cost omitted Sam Close. He
was poor. I thought against North he was and that's
a huge, a huge in I think he's blue in
their back line, he's very good. He's no body Iland,
He's no body. I love you, you love the Sons

(37:32):
back line?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Well I didn't. On the weekend. I thought North actually
did well against that back line.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah. I think that was the third quarter. I think
partly because the quick bowl movement and North actually played kicked,
had a lot of hypercentage kicks and things like that,
but they weren't really defending the Suns. They were just
attacking really, so that was a bit of a worry.
Some other stats in this one them curse. It's continued
since he hasn't been there. They're winless in their last
nine at Marvel, So that's a bit bit of a.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Is it a Richmond curse or is it a curse
because he did beat Essendon with Gold Coast after the
siren Mac Andrew, which will have been I have been
to two of those three losses after the siren.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Oh yeah, I was at the Mark Andrew all right,
I was at the only one. Yeah, I believe what's talk.
He was there. I was there. He said that the Suns,
though they've won the last five meetings, and they'll be
very confident in this one because, as we mentioned, Richmond
just really young.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
They've shown signs, but they're not there yet.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Let's have a look at the odds with tab Richmond
eight dollars fifty heads ahead. Well that's a pretty big
Gold Coast a dollar oh seven. Now, my best bet
in this one as a player bet I did this
last week, so we're rolling it again. He's got this
I think almost every week two Miller twenty five plus
disposals and to kick a goal is two dollars thirty five. Yeah,
as I said from last week, I think he had
twenty seven and a goal. He's already had his career

(38:46):
high goals in a season with seven, and he's had
twenty five disposals in three or the four weeks this season.
He's so consistent, and he's just attacking a lot more so.
And this Sun side number one offen see they're going
to keep getting chances. So took Mila twenty five plus
and a golf for this one. All right, tips, Mark
and any other thoughts. We probably haven't given enough to
the Suns. I've liked their recruits. We saw Johnny Noble
the weapon as Alex calls it on his show, even

(39:07):
though he's not that much his tattoos on the weekend.
Actually because the sun was glaring on his lights, he
loved the sun screen all over. He was made sure
he made sure.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
To put that on before the weird observation.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Yeah, I remember him saying that actually sitting on the ground.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
I think Gold Coast win this game, but I think
this will be a really close game of football. Wait right,
hear me out, hear me out, hear me out. As
a picture Now, this isn't picture worthy, come back down coming. Sorry,
I just think it'll be really scrappy. I think gold
Coast coming off really hot weather in the brosso they

(39:42):
use the hot weather, but to under the roof at Marvel.
I know Richmond hate it. Come on, I think it'll
be if Richmond make this the ugliest game of football ever,
they will be in it. But I still think Soun's
win by like sixty points. No, I reckon like fifteen
fifteen fifteen.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
I'm on the opposite and I'm going to go sixty
one points o gold Coast. They've proved a lot this
season and they have to keep proving that. And are
they Are they within the show finishing.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
In the top four. I haven't finished in the finals
before now. No, I think the end of this season
they might drop off a little bit because of the
experienced six. Interesting Okay, yeah, i think I've got the
money riding on them missing the finals. But that's not
going to Annadelaide as well, So that's not a good start.
To my season.

Speaker 7 (40:28):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Anyway, I'm going to tip the Suns by about forty points.
I think, as Leo mentioned, it's not easy under the
riff different conditions, so they won't absolutely demolish them, but
forty points they'll get it jumped down pretty comfortably. Similar
to the North game where they run over them a
bit late. I think it'd be sithing to that, all right.
Sunday Games, this one's another big one. Anything involving pot
Adela at the moment I think is pretty big with
the chaos surrounding them at the moment.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Way wait, wait, wait Porter playing this week? Oh you
don't normally play after you agree?

Speaker 2 (41:00):
We had a few poor fans in the commons.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
I say, calm down, calm down, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
All right, then you've had one good joke for the show.
Sydney Verse pot Oudelaide Saturday three twenty at the SCG.
Sydney will be happy they're back at the SCG. Let's
get into the teams, lad, Yes please, I'll make him
do port because he hates.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I don't hate. Where'd you get that idea from?

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Just roasted them?

Speaker 4 (41:23):
One force change Sydney and that's Joela Marty out of
the side injured incomes Lewis Mellikan, Justin McInerney, Aaron Francis, ohident, great, great,
and Ben Patton as well. Uh. Look, there's just something
about the Sydney to There were so they were so disappointing.
I was actually surprised that there weren't any omissions.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, they could be mcinerneye and mallickin listed. Yeah, I
think they will be.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
There could be.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
Alex mentioned big big Sidney fan obviously normally on the show.
He said Jake Lloyd is a shout to get omitted, that.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
He has been pretty wing though he's not on the extend.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Okay, so he's already going to play that game. Beef Sheldrick,
he said he could be dropped and he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
He is on the bench.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
It's not good.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
He's in and out of the team. He's Beef Sheldrick.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Alex.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Alex has got the the Friendship bracelet, which says Beef
on it. Very cringe. But look that's good. I like
that is he actually fiends with him.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Though, no, I think he got it.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Of course. I watch the straining order coming in from
two blots or from from from beef. Alright, we're getting
sidetracked together, laid teams later, so.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
No confirmed changes. They've just listed Finlayson, Burne, Jones and
Atkins into the.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Be so good for Adelaide. And then he dropped off
when he went to this he was all right. I
thought he was good.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Look this Port team, I give it a bit of stick.
It's I think against Sydney Away it'll be tough. What
I did enjoy for them last week was they won
the first contest and then when they kicked it forward,
the player that won the contest was somehow already there,
like they worked. There are butts off yep, continual, continuously,

(43:10):
and I think the key for Port Adelaide is whether
the middle of the road guys like say Jackson, me
like young Tommy Cochrane. He comes on, he shows a
bit of about him, even though he has the wrong
the wrong number on. You know, Jace Bergan, can he
be consistent? Lockie Jones? Can he be consistent?

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Josh?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Seeing these guys, there's got to be a consistency from them.
Because even Horn Francis said that effort we brought against
Hawthorne is great. Well, we've got to do it every
week and first good thing he said, Well, I don't
really listen to much of his stuff. No, Look, that's
all this is about for them. They've got to come
out and they need if they win this game, I'll
believe in them, but I don't think they will now.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Though the stats are with them. They've won four of
the last five meetings against Sydney when they're the underdogs.
They've also won just eight of the last nine meetings
in general until the final was last year when Sydney
beat them. Yep, they Sydney hardly ever beat them, which
really did that surprise you? I had a look at
that today and I was very surprised.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
A little bit. Actually, there's been a lot of good
games between Port and Sydney years, especially at the SCG.
Obviously that's flooring when he celebrated after the so any
thought I celebrated that, I forget about that. Yeah, that
was a bit of a heartbreak for Sydney fans. But
I think they're well and truly in this game. Likeily
I mentioned, this is the game where they've got to
come out and back it up. They can't just not
come out and back it up and be perceived as soft.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, there's a few teams this week that need to
prove where they are on the ladder. Yep, and Port
is poor actually poor and Sydney like. Whoever wins you
can sort of tell if they're pushing up to that next.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Level, which we're two months into the season now, this
is where the ladder starts to separate.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Even though it's stupid and there's still teams that have
played less games until don't get me started. I'm playing
gold Coast after around twenty four. Don't get me started,
there'll be a nothing game anyway. Yeah, we're both not
making Oh no, gold Coast probably will. All right, let's
get into the tabold Sydney dollar forty seven. Port Adelaide
two dollars seventy underdogs after their big win. So that's
bit of a surprise there. Now my best bet in
this one, I've heard that he's going to play half back.

(45:03):
I haven't named him a half back, but the rumor
suggests that Connor Rosie will stay at half back. So
I'm going twenty five plus disposal for him with a
player multi with our good mate Fried Bis Riley Biss
twenty plus disposals two dollars thirty. Combine those two together,
Rosies roll at half back. I think it's just perfect
for this team just to rack up possessions. We'redn't even
mind him for a goal, so you can look at
that market as well. And bis he's had twenty plus
disposals in his last two weeks and just so trusted

(45:25):
back there. He's kicks awesome. They just go to him.
He takes a few kickouts as well, the perfect mustache.
What can go wrong with him? So that's my best
bet in this one. All right, tips margin, any other.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Thoughts, that's my favorite best bet of the weekend. Stef's going,
Oh there you go, but I'm going to go Sydney
here twenty points.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
They at the s CG. I think homegreen advantage is
going to be too much.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Swan's by five goals. Some one's boy that stop making
fun of me, so I'll walk in.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
You make fun of me, all right? LEO Today Show. Yeah, Well,
he's a change man, usually stands up for himself. He's
what's going on in the studio. You usually don't bring
that much knowledge.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
What are you talking about that next game?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I haven't said my tip. Swan's by ten points. I
think I really don't like this tip because Sydney was
so bad last week, but I don't trust port For
to be consistent and at the seg I got to
go with Sydney.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
In this one.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
All right, last Sunday game before we get into Easter Monday,
Western Bulldogs verse Saint Kilda Sunday seven twenty at Marvel Stadium.
Let's get into the teams, lads, this is this will
be Actually, there's so many good games this week. This
is a really good game as well, really close. So
LEO will go with the Dogs.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
You're below the Dogs, sorry, I'm just a bit behind.
Dogs have one force change. With James Harms out injured,
they bring back Harvey Gallagher, Oscar Baker, the Bond Who
the Bond? Oh that is he's pretty good and the
bus Jed Bustlinger, I'm very excited and huge in the bond.
Does that make you change anyone's tips?

Speaker 2 (46:53):
I was originally going to tip Western Bulldogs.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Does it make you change to Saint Kilda?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Absolutely not. Well, I'm happy to see. I hope Jed
Bustling it gets a game. We talked, we talked about,
we talked about the preseason. Why not because they got
Jim Jones Bookoo. I thought he was excuse he was
like a medium.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
No, he's tall. He's the same ninety eight centimeters. Just
that's just a bit old than me, only a little bit,
only a good thirty centimeters thirty something. Look, this bond
is a beginning. Is he massive in for this side?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Like you feel like if they had him against Brisbane
in that second half, maybe he would have settled.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Maybe they would have still lost.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Coy would have been they would have been calling when
they would have settled the nerves a little bit. You
go back to a center bounce and you know your
you're sort of young Joel Fraser and you're like, oh crap,
Brisbane are getting run on. And then you see the
bond and like his glorious hand like now we're fine dreaming.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Looking at him, and you're like, actually grabbed the balls
been brought up. That was That would be the same
if Leo played with Jack Steel, he wouldn't be able
to get a touch to me. Jack Steel with me
your caps in the other week was not handsome, but
Jackson was handsome. He's very I think you're handsome as well.
But that's all right over for another show, another show.
They killed a team, Marcus about the team. They've been

(48:08):
killing it. They have been killing just lose. But it
was an honorable loss. It wasn't. It wasn't. I don't
like saying that on the shot.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Give dated two points. But Saint Kilda against Jubile West
one of the premiership contenders, premiership favorites. Yep, that's a
fair day out. There's no force change for Saint Kilda.
Rishel Maker comes in, Liam Henry and Harry boydited.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
By lamb airy A.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
He might not get a game, Adam Henry. I'm very excited.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
I think he'll come back because when he when he plays,
he's been a bit in an hour.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
We saw him at roundel Moore with the with the handballs,
the balls.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
For this moment.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Yeah, who else was he with there?

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Gray best midfield in the game. Someone else, Zach Jones
and Jimmy Webbs your mate.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Stuff, Jimmy West, Lucky lucky they walked off.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
You get.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
This stuff. My captain up, I'm not going to talk
about you would just jump into him horizontally, but he's
pretty big. That's a short, Yeah, that's a short.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
That one.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Let's get into some other stats. Dogs have won the
last seven matches at Marvel, and they won this meeting
last year by sixty points. I actually forgot about that one.
That one surprised me a bit looking back on that.
That was sort of at the start of the season
when the Saints weren't going too well. Yep, and then
the end of the season they started going all right,
Saints look a lot stronger. Now they're attacking off. Their
offense is so good. Ninety five points a game under

(49:31):
Ross Lion lads, that's unheard of. Yeah, well, you know,
I didn't even think it.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Was that high. You just know russ Line is fuming.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
He is like, what are we doing? What is this?

Speaker 3 (49:43):
I'd rather he's got on the whiteboard. Defend first, what
are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
That is actually really good? Let's get into the tab.
Western Bulldogs a dollar fifty eight. They're the favorites in
this one against Saint Kilda two dollars forty. Now, this
is probably my biggest value bet or I'm just going big.
I'm going on a lot A really high scoring game here.
Sam Darcy and Cooper Sharman three plus goals each. That's
six dollars with tab both teams can see ninety two
points a game. Obviously, I just mentioned Saint Kild score

(50:10):
ninety five a game. I reckon it's going to be
really high scoring, which is rare under ross line. But
this year the Saints are really attacking. Sam Darcy is
aving just under three goals. I reckon he can get
above that. And Chalman he had three last week, averaging
two for the season. But bit of extra value. There
are six bucks for both of them to kick three
and Cooper Charmi stepped up in King's absence, so why
not get on him for that one?

Speaker 3 (50:29):
All right?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
What else? Tips? Margin?

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yes, I think Saint Kilda win this again. I'm tipping
the Saints. I know I love him.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Tipped him? Have you tipped them every week? No?

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I against tip them more than Hawthorne.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
I know that's a joke.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
You probably have what I reckon I have.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
No, that is a joke. As a team of Hawks
that have gone really well.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
That's going really well? Oh yeah, actually was I can
touch on you. They're winning by either I reckon they
win by eight points, and I just think Sinclair and
nas are just going to kick through this dog's team. Yep.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
The best half back in the competition won't be for
much longer because as one of them is leaving.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Nice, that's not coming a horful.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
He's got.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Surely Saints they've got that. A lot of that money
give it to him, is I think? Yeah, I'd be
giving it to nas the best player. What's your tip, Marcus?
I'm going to go the Dogs in this one.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
It's not going to be convinced because Saint kildare actually
quite good at Marvel Stadium.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
They showed that against too long, but the Dogs have
won their last seven matches. They have as well, so
with Bond coming back in, that's just another Bowl star yeap,
Obviously that keeps so bad you should be a dad. Honestly, maybe.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
I really like the Ed Richards, Tom Liberal Torre and
Marcus Bontonpelli midfield. That's I really like Matt Kennedy killing
it waiting in the winds as the fourth midfielder. So
I'm going to go the dogs here. Let's say three goals.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Three goals?

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Yeah, good game?

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Yeah, I agree. I think Saints by twelve points. I
did have that by about twenty, but then I've lessened
it since the Bonds come in. I think it's going
to be really close and the Saints just get overline.
There's a few their death players have just been stepping up.
The bond is huge in but I just don't know
if he's going to make that immediate impact first came back.
I think maybe give it a week. Then the bond
can carry you bony shoulders again like he used to.
All Right, the second biggest game of the round all

(52:21):
the biggest game for Geelong and Hawks fan Geelong Verse
Hawthorne Monday mcg Easter Monday three twenty. There's a huge one.
Leo unfortunately won't be wearing his wizard hat there. There
was some gum that somehow got on it.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
I don't want to get in.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Is it still the adelaide over that wizard hat.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
I'm not sure, mate, probably not.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
I miss it already. It's in the wullshed on.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
The ball twenty twenty five bucks. Yeah, that's good, Adelaid
cassen Worth. It got your money's back for it. He
didn't kick a goal, which doesn't It didn't help the cause.
That's why it was on the ground in the first place.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Chuck it on goss bit more for more AFL footy
than I wore, which is probably worse than is it.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Well, yeah, where is your costume? You should be wearing
it every show? Yeah, wear it to bed. Yeah, I
actually did see that. It's breezy. It is breezy. Let's
get before you get side tracked and talk about all
that Geelong teams.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
About the team. Sorry. I can give you that. I
can give you some insight.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
They're poised to have two big defensive inclusions on other side.
That is Tom Stewart obviously he's getting laid out again.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Chris Scott.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
I can't stand him and Jake col Jason, who has
recovered from a groin plan.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
And might give him a week in the VFL. You
reckon because I don't reckon. They need to have him
into guard anyone from us, you know, like it's.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Our small Yeah small. He is better than Ted Closet.
Marlin is so bad.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Yeah, I actually hope Marlin plays. Mulin's got the win,
did match up? I might get the Wizard live during
the game. You can go to Adelaide and get maybe
maybe Hawthornely.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
You were talking about some possible changes before the show.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Yes, so rumor has it kind of Nash will be
fit good. James Warpole will be fit after both sort
of Nationals obviously subbed out with the wrist injury. Warpole
limped off the ground late in the game, so hopefully
they're both back in and Connor McDonald and Jack Scrimshaw
should also be.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Back in the side, so that begins. Yeah, I personally
think for this game, Cicily should start forward. Agreed, you
don't need him in defense with Scrimshaw back and Jaff
also there you've got Battle, You've got barrass I was
gonna say, frost.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Frosty.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Who do you want to see? Who do you want
to see out of the side based off the loss
against put Out.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
It's a tough question because I think there's a few candidates.
I think Ginovan is definitely a candidate, really, but I
don't think they'll drop him for a big game.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
This is one of the games where he was he
has been.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
But we thought that about the Pork game, and he
was good in the first quarter, actually I thought, but
then did nothing. Vin McGinnis is another He does play
a pretty important role and I actually would keep him
into tag homes if you tag homes.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
He nothing, he doesn't he doesn't even like a little
tagg Baillysmith.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Well, I think I think homes with the roles they
play me Guinness is more suited to homes. I think
it's interesting to get off the chain in the mid
little can.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
You grab his head?

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Man to me.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Grab his hair?

Speaker 2 (55:25):
So technically.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Up to Norton a few years ago and he did
a big fight. We're also down by eight goals in
that game. Oh my god, you guys love a fight
when I hate it when you do that. So those
are probably too off the top of my head. Morrison
may be another one as well, so there's some floating changes.
We'll see what the team is. I am very nervous.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I can tell in your voice you literally dropped if
there were shall the tink a bit deeper? This is
not going to help your nerves. The Cats lead the
Easter Monday wins eleven to three, so I love going
Eastern three. They got three and fourteen Eastern Monday wins.
The last two meetings as well, were by an average
of fifty nine points for the Cats. Now, I don't

(56:06):
think that's going to happen. I think that, like we said,
look at last week. Oh no, he's lost the flot Marcus,
I'm just going to talk to you. I think that
was an outlie, but that horse game was an outline.
Like Leo said, it was ports graand final they stepped
up for I never said that, yeah, never.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Never.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
The Hawks as well, they've won, Leo, we have a
good steps, have won their last eight matches at the
mcg okay and you would have been to all them.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
We are playing there, so that's good.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
The Eastern Monday clashes at Marvel, that'd be Disgustingian Park
oh no, actually been there a couple of times, really good,
good vibes, except for the Bys Cats fans, but it's good.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
Me some all right.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Tabod's Geelong another really close one, A dollar eighty heads ahead.
They're the favorites, probably after the Hawthorne lost. Hawthorne two
dollars head to head, now my best bet in this one.
I've been on him a lot this year. He's been
so good. Forward Patrick Dangerfield two skulls and fifteen plus
disposals is two dollars and five cents. Danger. I know
he's not going to be playing in the midfield, but
he averages twenty nine disposals and a goal on Easter Monday.

(57:08):
He loves playing that. I think he had it was
a bag of I'm trying to remember how many he
had against the Hawks in that time where he was injured.
Six there we go. Six When he played forward, he
was really good. And he's been playing more forward. Eleven
goals in five games so the two plus I think
he can easily hit kick four last week and fifteen
plus disposal he pushed up the ground, pushed into the midfield.
I think that's an easy one for my best bet.

(57:29):
All right, before Leo gets any more nervous, tips and margin,
what are we thinking? And why are you looking at
me like that? Oh? I'm sorry, Leo. I'm gonna go
the Cats.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
I'm doing it again. I'm going against shir I've liked
what I've seen so far this season more from Geelong
than I have Hawthorne. I think at their best though,
I think Hawthorne get up. But to be in all honesty,
I don't know if I've actually seen that this season,
like even the.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Games that you won, for sure, I didn't have you
played bad at the end of last year.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
A bit of the Giants and bit of the Sydney
Game show it but not in its entirey nentiety.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
We'll give me a tip.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
Don't you just love that? It's Thursday and I'm already
back in my.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Would you rather play on a Thursday or Monday? Thursday?

Speaker 3 (58:14):
One hundred but not done.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
That's why good Friday games good? So stop stop dancing
around it. Who are you tipping?

Speaker 3 (58:22):
I can't dance, man. I think Cats win this by
six points.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Tipping against Hawks again.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
I think Dangerfield kicks a last minute after faking an
injury earlier in the game. You saying he faked an
injury six game he lived off in the first quarterday
everyone thought he broke his leg.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Well doing Sicily do that? And then he came back
on the ground kick six against Sicily, I could have
a flog.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
Last year against he dislocated his shoulder and when that happened,
all the Dogs fans cheered, which made me really angry,
and that was a side tangent. And then and then
they popped it back in. He came back on and
he kicked the winning girls, so he sucked in Dogs.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
There go such keep brought up Cicily. I can't believe
you're dipping against you tip the Saints way more, but
you get more nervous. Saints, mate, I'm going to go
Cats by ten. I think they're just a little bit
more experienced in slightly better form. I was worried against
them when they played against Melbourne because they didn't look
that good. But then last week they beat Adelaide pretty
comfortable in the end. So in Adelaide, so I'm going

(59:25):
to go the Cats.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Imagine what you could be buying instead.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
All right, it's the best part of the show, the
big calls. I think Leo actually hit his last week.
We talked about this on the Sunder and now well
on the Siren.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
So what was it? The eight plus goals Ben Long
and Max Maxking, Ben King, Ben King a plus goals.
Ben Long kicked a sixty meters bomb on the Sigron.
There you go, There we go.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
So let's see if you can back it up. Let
us know in the comments if this one can back
it up.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
I reckon Zer. It has thirty five disposals and eight
school involvements against the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
That's what he averages pretty much. I love it off.
That's a big guy.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Now. I hate Sendon, but I love watching Zach Merritt.
I still think he's one of the most underrated players
in the game, one hundred percent. Like there's there's no
doubting that he's in the top five to ten midfielders.
And I feel like sometimes right people go like Zach
Merritt is, he's so good for us in But then
when we talk about BoNT and Pally and we talk
about Dacos, we don't talk about Merrit. Merrett needs to

(01:00:20):
be in that comboin is. Actually, he's a fantastic player.
And I know it's West Coast, but he'll just do
his thing. He might kick a couple of goals. I
just yeah, I love watch him play. I can't imagine
what Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Kicked four against the Eaules at Optics.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Four against Adelaide a couple of weeks ago, should have
been seven.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I think he had thirty seven and four that game
with thirty six.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
A mini Jason Dunstall.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Pretty good. But he's not Jason. You're a Hawks man.
That's that's rude to Jason is rude. And when he
gets on this show.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
One day, you know, we wont you know what we
said that, Well, turn it up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
That's actually really good, good than some of the other ones. Marcus,
your big call.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
Yeah, well you're going to like this and Marni will
like this from Kanga TV. North Merlwyn will win their
first quarter in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Is the first first quarter?

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Let me rephrase that, and you're going they'll win there,
They'll win the first quarter and the game hopefully.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
So yeah, exactly hopefully. Is that a big call? Yeah? Yeah,
you haven't one one all? Yeah, yeah, I think that's five.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
That's sad.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
That is very sad.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
But if it's like they lose it but have like
way more scoring shots, that'd be heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Because I don't care if we don't win the first
quarter as long as we win the game.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
What if you lose the first quarter about eight goals
a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
On and come back. I'm going my big call on
this one as well. North versus Carlton both score one
hundred points each. I don't see much defense going on.
Both midfields do not run both ways. We've got George
Waldore back into I think that will help North, but
literally wash crips chair. They are running forward, alder Us,
they are running forward. I'm a little bit worried about
the defense, but I think it's going to be as
a neutral. You guys are neutrals. I think it's going

(01:02:02):
to be very high scoreing.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
It could be like the Dog's North game in very
much a little bit hot under the roof. It's going
to be very a little bit of humidity in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Yeah, why are you laughing? Say some words? Just makes
me giggle. All right, last morn last segment. What are
we going to keep an eye on? I'm not going
to keep an eye on super Coach like I usually do.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Yees, Now, we'll go with a bit out of it.
I have not put anything in this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
I'm going to go.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
I'm going to go.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
I'm going to keep an eye on the Hawks bound
fair after a big defeat. It's the first time they've
sort of been questioned this season. And if they don't win,
you can you can already see the headlines in the newspapers.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
The pressure will be on Monday, is Brutorf. Yeah, so
the footy worlds on them, so they need to deliver.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
I agree. I'm going to keep an eye on Jack
Steel and Bond and Pally because too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Yeah, that's it. I actually you think that on the fly.
I'm keeping an eye on the North Sorry North Saints.
Adelaide to prove at what level they are really at
the competition three teams? What's your math doing?

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Over? Say that again?

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Just let me finish. I'll say the ad losses last week.
I wanted to prove where their levels at. If North
get a win, you're going, oh, maybe they're better than
Bond four. If the Saints get to win over the
dogs we were there underdogs, you go, oh, they can
make the finals, same as Adelade. If Adelaid get a
win against g W shou go, they could be top six.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):

a lie? Maybe what too negative? Negative? That is I'm
