Speaker 4 (00:12):
Hey guys, so a great to see you on this Friday,
Lisa Yay from Friday. You watch a bit of the
footy last night, at least the opening bit because it
was Sir Doug Nichols round. It was in Darwin, so
you know it's extra specially on the top end. A
great game, whether it's seem fantastics, a couple of absolute
huge marks in the weather, lots of big crowd and
(00:36):
the Suns. They're unbeaten up there in eight in eight games.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And the second or the ladder bar Yeah no, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They've played finals now.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
They haven't played finals before, so you never never know
if you never never go or whatever.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
They played finals, the Giants, I haven't quite made it.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yeah, Giants have a few times.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Pretty good spot Darwin. Least you rue with the.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
In the very late eighties early night I was up
there for ten months. We set up a radio station
from scratch and it was. It was like, like I said,
I was young. I was with a young group of people.
Said it was like a working holiday and it was
a lot of fun, very sociable, but very sociable. But
there is nothing like you know what they call the
build up at the end of the year where the
(01:19):
weather the weather and you go a bit psycho.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Yeah, yeah, the build up, the build up.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I was.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Anyone who's lived through it knows what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You can you can relate to this.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I went to a party there and was in summer
and everyone stood in the pool and drank.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Oh yeah, No one got out and went to the
toilet either.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Anyway, So well, under the sun's now clear.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
You happy to talk about Luke Jackson And.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
We did discuss this earlier in the way.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yeah, I heard you your question. That was good to
Hayden Young, that was good question.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Well I had to be right.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, the unicorn in the room. Whoever gives away a unicorn,
there's no way.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Tim McMillan, Tim McMillan's the unicorn in the room.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's a bit of the unicorn. Yeah, he's
he's gone at all. He's going beautifully. But that was
more of a rhino, of course.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
The rhino in the China shell.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
So are we putting these rumors to bed?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
What's going Yeah, I don't think. I think he's got
a four year contract, so I think just at the moment,
there's some personal issues going on behind the scenes. I
won't sort of delve into it, but just to say
that I think he probably wishes he's back in Melbourne.
You know, when you want to leave town sometimes yeah, yeah,
but there's a bit going on.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
If it never happened to me, it was because there
was a girlfriend who had moved there or something, but you.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Know, and family things. Okay, but he wants to be
first ruck too, now, I reckon. I reckon he wants
to be the man man in the ruck.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
He's excelled at the start of the year, didn't he
think he's working out?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He's worked that out, hasn't he? And Darcy?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You know that thing with Darcy now, So I don't
know what happens. Really they should move Darcy and keep Jackson.
But you know, everyone is not a.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Long term contact.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, ironically free. I still desperately need a small forward though.
That's what we're found out now because we saw we
saw Bobby Hill and Jamie Elliott do we at Collingwood
and you know, I don't know what's something to switter
and Freddy and Sonny's injured and you know, and Duddy
Dudley is young blood. So they brought back Bailey Banfield.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah. I saw Bandfield out in Bandfielding.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
So they really need Cozy Pickett, who's at Melbourne. So
there is that temptation is to trade Jackson to Melbourne
for Cozy Pickett.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
That's only if the Jackson thing is not just bullshit
that someone's trying to push, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
But I'm just wondering that from the club's perspective, what
do they think they've got two Ruckman? Could they sacrifice one?
Because Ruckman? Are they really that important? Any It's another
discussion for another day. So they've traveled to Sydney to
play the Giants against their old teammate Jesse Hogan, who's
going gangbusters.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Old you kick seven goals last week? Oh my god, sts.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
You can't say it without we're hearing it in my.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Head's the Sergeant Shultz in that one?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
It's not Lucky Shultz.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And that've been you know, the Giants have been going
to school with the Penrith Panthers, who are the legendary
and NRL site. They have been spending time with anyone
how to win a premiership. So I think it's a
very tough game. The Eagles are playing on Sunday up
to stadium, another chance to win, of course, and they've
put out the rounds now for round sixteen to twenty three.
So what they do lease is they don't give the
(04:36):
times that the games are on when they put the
drawer out earlier in the year.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So now we know that they go along. Yeah, they
try to tweak it.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
And so now the Dockers have got a Friday night
primetime game while you're up, as we call them, hosting
Brisbane in round twenty three August fifteen, that could basically
decide whether they may the finals. A home game against
Brisbane at night in round twenty three, so a testing
schedule to least. They've got six day breaks everywhere they
(05:09):
so they play Carlton on a Sunday, then they come back,
they go to Adelaide to play the Power and then
they come back with six days break and play Brisbane
and that period of games could decide.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Justin Longmre's future.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Okay, because if he doesn't make them, if he doesn't
make the finals, I reckon he's g a W seven seasons,
Max Gornskin, So yeah, pretty tough scorn.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Here's and he comes in play with the Melbourne Jackson thing.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Max. He loves dropping her hint about he's a stir
that makes and the Dockers Derby.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It's a Saturday afternoon game, which it hasn't happened, hasn't
happened for over a decade.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Too, in the afternoon or something.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, two fifteen in the afternoon. Is that good time?
At least? You couldn't care us.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Docors Derby.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeahs home game yet they host it.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Yeah, I think two fifteenth a good time, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I actually prefer the old the night games, but the
night games are great. So and I thought I just
as in this break, I was just going to send
a cheery out of Zach Main wearing for w A,
Chris's son. Yeah, dome for w A like his dad
did against South Australia Cadelaide over tomorrow. Well on, Zaki,
good on your mate, get those good luck to W eight.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You're talking hoops, I.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Am mate, and Cats fans that army get excited, excited
because we were thinking Bryce Cotton's gone, we're going to
be no good. Well, never have another player. Love Brice
he's the best, that's.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Great, but he's not one man does not a team mate.
Speaker 4 (06:42):

He's probably the best player. It could be the best
player the NBL's ever had. In credit and you love speak.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
He's one of my favorite people in sports ever.
Speaker 1 (06:58):

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Remember when Australia got in the finals in the Olympics
and he was crying absolutely when they are up against
the dream its magnificent.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So anyway, how's this.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
So they lose Brice Cotton and they've gone all in
on a bloke who went to my old school, Marris Brothers, Canberra. Yes,
graduated twenty years after me. But maybe I couldsider give
him a call.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
It's Paddy Mills, no prying at the Olympics. Patty Mills.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I should have used that link. You're better than me
to play. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, he's thirty six, but he's he's coming straight out
of the NBA. So he was like sort of the
you know the substitute dude in the NBA at the end.

He's been around for a long time.
Speaker 5 (07:48):

they say in television. And because these segways impossible, So

voices in the game.
