Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts here more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart
app Mad Max maxn't after you mad about from the
footy on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Are the two biggest rivals going head to head with
each other? Brilliant to get a win for Port Adelaide,
to be honest, two points. It was hard for tough
conditions at Alberton. Build a season from Alberton. Yeah the showdown,
the AFLW practice showdown where the Port Adelaide girls Beatlaide
girls by two points?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Did they on Saturday afternoon? All right, that's lovely news.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's talk a bit about the other showdown.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, did you go or not to the women's game?
Did you go? I didn't go. I was pouring down
with rain. That is the worst excuse as a football fan. No,
it's not the wettest two days in Adelaide is played
in winter. Yeah, don't you just rug up like all
the other people. No, it's watched on the couch. She'd winter.
It was a Crow's home game.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I was more than happy to let them have it,
and I'm glad I didn't go because, as you mentioned.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We lost by ninety eight points and one hundred Yeah,
me too. Port Adelaide was doomed from the very start,
literally the first play of the game. Miles Bergman, love him,
re signed. One of our best young players won the
ball in the middle, just kicked the.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Win brought out for stopping burkick the wrong line and
he's kicking straight the belief he's gonna have a lot
of air. Can you believe that the player could kick
the wrong line?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It was dead. It was honestly like what happens in
year two football. I feel bad for him. That happens
all the time, not in how did that even happen?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
He's won the hit out and he goes, oh, I
got a second, I've got open grass in front of me.
We're away here, and he just kicked it straight to
the Crows himself and from there, oh no, I played
some more football.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It rained a lot. Crows keep more goals. Support didn't.
It's good and we lost by ninety eight points. Yeah,
that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So if we had to be mad Max mad on
two folds to two reasons one, I'm pretty sure the
Crows can then might win the Premiership, which is maddening,
like very Madening'd be proud though as a South Australian
team to win like Port will be out. I like
(02:44):
a lot of the individuals on the Crows and I'd
be happy for them. I know how hard they work,
but the organization and for the Crows fans that I
have that i'm friends.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
With, I don't want them to win. I don't want
them to have that joy.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Say, Ports Out, Are you saying that if it's Adelaide
versus Sydney you would go for Sydney the Swan?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Are you serious? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It's all part of being a fan, Hailey, It's all
part of the rivalry.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
My second reason for being mad is Port Adelaide.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, we lost by ninety eight points and I have
now got great fears.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I'll still support them and I'll still love them, but.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I have great fears that we're about to have maybe
half a decade of misery.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Why like we've got because all the old players are gone.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Six good players at the top, really good players. But
then we battle a bit and then the last few
years we've traded away all of our picks to try
and get in more players. So we don't have these
great eighteen and nineteen year olds coming through.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You're out and we're just in a little bit of trouble.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
If our big boys aren't playing well and if they're
injured like that at the moment, it could be a
bad time for me for a few more years.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Switch just for like the next five years. Over the
Crows come on, we have fun.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I support the Port Adelaide w team and they beat
the Crows in a trial game on the weekend. Dwayne
in Murray Bridges called in. Duanna, you were there and
you're a Port fan, mate? How did you go terrible?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah? Do you need a hug? Dwayne? Did you have
any hope?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I thought we would have chance?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Dwayne? What was it like?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
What wore the Crows fans like around you? Assuming you
were wearing some Port merch and they knew that you were.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What was it like?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh, mate, that must be a right, but jee, it's
so sip was figuring me laughing at me and yeah,
yeah it's a way out Dwayne. And can you can
you back me up here? We get to bounce back
next year. Are we in a bit of trouble?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Do you think? Well?

Hopefully the new coach here a right, hopefully get from there.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I'm taking that. I'm holding onto that.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Dwayne's right, Josh taking over as coach, hopefully new game plan.
Maybe he'll be like, you know what, we're not playing
eighteen players on the field. We're playing twenty. And we'll
get away with that and we'll be fine.
