It was a rainy weekend ahead and a massive game last night – Hawthorn smashed Collingwood in what felt like a virtual final. Barra said the Dockers needed two more wins to make the finals, and Fyfey was back. If the Eagles won, it would’ve been biblical. There was an embarrassing on-air moment for Gerard Healy and Andrew McQualter, and Barra called for a mercy rule in the AFL. A big farewell was expected for Dom Sheed and Jeremy McGovern. There was huge money in tennis, and Lisa was tested on her sporting nickname smarts.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
When's talks four with the Adrian Barriage. Hi Clarzy, getting
ready for the rain tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Beautiful, get ready for the rain today first as.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well a bit today today, tomorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
For whaty Mills you said on maybe they fell over.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And well build an arc together after the show?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Do you think we should get to two of each animal?
He at least big game last night, but I just like,
I don't know what. It was a virtual final for
Hawthorne and in the end they got they smashed Colining.
It was Colin. You wouldn't think Colin would get like that.
(00:41):
They've lost four out of their last five. We said,
didn't we.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And the only one that won and that time is Richmond's.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
A tingle loss. And I'm wondering if they are old
and slow.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well they were old and slow just a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But you do hit the wall around August, that's when
or something.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
And I'm fine sticking with my prediction at this stage.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Collingwood Brisbane lines grad final.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, okay, all right, that's you might be right.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I think you're longer going to be there. Somehow. They
kicked so many goals.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You never discount a long watching them but watching the
Pies chasing the Hawks, it was sort of like, you
know when you go to that dinosaur park in King's Park,
you see the dad's chasing the kids. Good luck, little
sluggish and blade struggling.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
The defense is struggling, isn't it. Because the defense has
been so tight for so many.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
They sort of almost rebuilding the Pies, but it looks
like they're reminiscing, you know, like they're really sort of
living in the past. So it's very tight the top
eight now and I Reckon. The Dockers have to win
two more games to guarantee I Reckon two out of three,
which means they've got Port Adelaide this weekend, yes, which
they should win right in.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, that one's okay.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Then they've got Brisbane at home. No locking, Neil, but
no hating.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Now they're luck he's out for the home and season.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, he's not back to the finals. And then you
wouldn't want to go into the last game against the
Bulldogs in Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Speaking to win, Speaking of teams that kick a lot
of goal, oh.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Man, Sam Darcy and all the rest of it. Norton,
the Norton Norton where they call him astronaut. But Fife's back.
I don't know if you saw the back page of
the paper, but you'll notice he's back. Yeah, and I
think that's the big headline, the skipper and the skipper
as well. Five he'd probably be the sub Alex Pierce
I was. I thought Oscar McDonald's a bit unlucky. Actually,
(02:32):
I thought he played pretty well. So good luck to Free.
Now the Eagles have listened to this. I've checked this
out for a team playing at home, so this is
the first time for a team playing home that they
are the longest priced underdogs of all time. Really, so
the Crows are like, I don't really bet, but the
Crows are a dollar one, okay, and the Eagles your
(02:54):
house on it are seventeen dollars. Seventeen dollars if you
would have better on the Eagles to win it back on,
it's incredible at this point, it's not even an upset winner.
Would be like a biblical miracle if they got you know,
like true, the Mad Monday can't start soon enough, at
least for them. Sadly it's it's not fair, but.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Then they have to wait until three ten on Sunday to.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Get it over and and then the technad you wanted.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
A Friday night game, this would.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Be get it out of the way, rip the band
aid off.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But making them wait, that's just cruel and unusual punishment.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Cruety to animals, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It feels like bullying ormst you know what I mean,
Like I get in. Actually was an awkward moment on
the one of the one of the footy courages where
Jared Healy BROWNO medurist. He was he was ripping into
the Eagles talking to Kelly Underwood and he didn't see
the coach. The Eagles coach walk up. Min have listened
now it sounded now that's mental torture. Nobody deserves that.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
If you're looking at the at the integrity of the
national competition.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Why would a kid go to w A and stay.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
There so, Harley Reid, Freaqus, Harley Roue, what would you
stay there unless you're getting two million bucks a year
or you got a death wish. Because it's incredibly difficult
for young kids to come into a competition knowing that
the club you've gone to is because of the AFL system,
it's going to be consigned to be non competitive for
eight or nine years.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, I love the thoughts, love the passion.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Speaking of passion, Andrew mccorder joins us the West Coast
Eagles code listening the Saving Graces. All he could probably
hear was money for nothing. In correct, we could hear
Jared because he's talking to John microphone. But I reckon
there would have been so much noise I wouldn't have known,
and if.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'm mini, I would have just pretended I didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, he looks like a sweet guy.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And Jared looked sheepish when he turned around, and I
was standing behind.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Him because he would he say it won't be competitive
for eight to nine years. What are we twenty twenty
five nine to that?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It seems that's like just pulling.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You know what we need least it's some dark humor
to get us through the pain. So I was thinking
maybe there should be a mercy rule, like in baseball
in the America they have a mercy rule. If you
get too far in front, the other team can just
call a mercy rule and just stop the game. So
if the Eagles try and buy more than eighty points
three quarter time, I reckon, the game's called off and
the crowd is gently ushered into therapylarious.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Junior footy where you get the best play, like someone plays.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The rest of the or the Crows have to play
and crocs in the last quarter. Or you could have
a mercy siren. What about a mercy siren? It plays
time too, so good but Shelley, Yeah, I just thought
we should also mention on Sunday Adopter Stadium. Hopefully the
(05:53):
weather's not in clement, if that's a word. Three big
milestones to celebrate for the Eagles, Liam Duggan's two hundredth yeah,
and then there's a big send off for Gov. Yeah,
Gov and Dom sheet tore getting a big sendoff. Now
they're calling it the Golden Thread, so just what that
So from the twenty eight Grand Final the Golden Thread.
(06:14):
McGovern's in a set kick the Vardy Sheet's gold that's
the Golden threads. They'll be wearing T shirts with the
Golden Thread on the front when they run out, And
I reckon the Golden Thread should become like a ceremonial
theme for West Coast. Let's ritualize it, you know what
I mean, Like, let's make it something that lives forever.
A sacred tradition was going to have to hang on the.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Summer's freread to it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, there was four of them and they actually painted
a big gold gold stripe on the oval yesterday, the
Golden threadad. Yeah, so it's taking it. Hopefully that works. Normally,
those milestone games don't inspire people. You need something more.
I wanted to mention too, the US Open. It's the
tennis is starting.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's the first tim ready, yeah that late in the
year already.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Gosh, has this the first tennis tournament ever to reward
its players with ninety million in prize money? Duly, so
one hundred and thirty nine million Australian and the largest
perse so that the winners get five million American each,
so seven point seven million Australian. So if you win
the US Open a male and female, So that's good,
(07:23):
isn't it? Equal play, equal pay? And Venus Williams may
be playing.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, it'd have been oh yeah, the trophy. Do you
hear that story? He could have been put you are
pretty good?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Eh? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I wouldn't got that for her.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You would have been What about Venus Williams too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Was she forty?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
She played old forty five forty five.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I just those Williams sisters. They're incredible.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Can you believe she's forty five?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
She'd be playing some kid who's.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Eighteen, right, I don't believe she's playing.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
She still lives at one hundred and eighty k is
an hour. I just put me back out getting out
of the hound this morning machine she is, she can
serve it. One hundred and eight fell over Frankie getting
out of bed, and she would work like a ballerina
at least. I'm going to test you out here. Okay,
So what's happened if you don't mind, just quickly, what's
happened in the AFL is One of the broadcasters has
(08:17):
decided that their commentators can't use nicknames because they reckon
some people won't know who they are. They need to
use their proper names, and in particular their Christian name. Okay, okay,
So I'm just going to see if this is correct,
because you're not a footy nuffy like me.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
No, no, and I often have to ask Elliott and
Hayden to please explain.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
A couple of nicknames that you of the broadcasters see
if you know who they are, rich.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh, Matthew, Richardson, Bucks, Nathan.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You got that too out of too Huddo.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Hudson, which was Peter.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Anthony, Anthony King lear a lot of hard over the years.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
What about Kingy, mister King, David King, What about Moons?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Cameron?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Cameron Mooney? Very good? This is the big one, Chief.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Chief Chief Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Somewhat Indian Dunstle.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It sounds like they're understanding. So now it has to
be Matthew, Matthew and Nathan. What do you think, Nathan, Anthony,
David Cameron and Jason Jason.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Considering my score, then I think they're okay. I thought
they meant the players, you know, when they're commentating the game,
not saying.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Moose and moose, because at least schooled me on that.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Dog Jackson.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Actually, we to get that in the new sun Son.
We'd go Sun's son on the news and the news
director we've got freak out.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You go, who is Michael?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You've got to explain. It takes you three days to explain,
so you never use it again.
