Speaker 1 (00:00):
When's Talk Sport with Adrian Barrage. When you've got to
get work here, you've got to get into work Clobber.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need it,
you can get it or check out worklobber dot com,
dot at you.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good morning morning, Russell. I am for the moment renaming
flag Mantle fret Mantle.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Fred. I don't know where you're going to say.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm a lady bar The MIC's on Fred Mantle.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, I know, well, docors fans still asking what the
hell happened? What did happen Friday night? Their plans backfired,
the five for retirement. It didn't inspire the boys, It
didn't motivate them. I don't know if it took the
edge off them. Maybe I thought it would just happen.
They were playing at home too, and there was a
massive crowd.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yes like the start time so everyone could get in there.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The biggest non derby crowd, fifty five five thousand, and
the faithful turned out. It was a cold night, and
that I'll be saying now it's just not fair, and
now it's sudden.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Fair Mantle, not fair.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We just keep going with those f's you can draw
the line somewhere, so it's sudden there. They went down
to Brisy by fifty seven points. A option Friday night
started slowly, which really hurt them. Couldn't kick straight.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I mean, if they could have flip the score around.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Actually we're getting the ball in there. It felt like
the twenty thirteen Grand Final over again to me. But
and the five retirement announcement during the week, it didn't
add that motivation. They thought maybe it was a distraction.
Sometimes you start playing for the fairy tale and you
forget you've actually got to stay with the process and
the fundamentals, and you just got to get it done.
It's not just going to happen. And I have a feeling,
(01:52):
you know, a sentiment doesn't win big games, and I
reckon that's maybe what happened a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I can't rely on it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's certainly it was a wake up call for them,
and they almost tightened up. You know, it felt like
the pressure kind of got to them a little bit
in the big crowd and five and everything else, so
it won't magically happen. And the lines were dog hungry.
They were so pumped up. Luke Jackson got tagged. I Reckon,
which is unbelievable considering as a ruckman, so he played
(02:19):
in the midfield. Brizzy just kept playing that keeping off style.
They had this record uncontested marks in the AFL one
hundred and forty one or something uncontested mark So basically
they just kept chipping it around, moving around the zone
of the of the dockers, just putting them under pressure
and they couldn't intercept the ball. So frustrating for the
fans and for players alike. So you know what it
(02:40):
means now, Well, it means.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
They've gone from double chance to possibly no finals at all, almost.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Sudden death, sudden death Sunday afternoon at Marvel Stadium fifty
And that's.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
How tight it is in the age of the moment.
You just can't afford to slip up and there's no
buffer unless you're adelaide Ll Geelong.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
They've won fifth games, they've won an enormous number in
a row, and they could be out not playing finals
if they don't win on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And then you know, the Eagles gave the Western percentage
boost which didn't help.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, he could have helped. The Eggs helped him by
beating up on him at least if not winning. But
so one fifteen count something for Alex Pears style. I'll
tell you what. The streets will be empty one fifteen Sunday,
I reckon, especially down to free The pubs will be full,
(03:36):
the streets will be empty. If you want to get
to the cappuccino strip, I reckon, head down there. The
coach is still though rusted, coach is still pretty I mean,
you'd have to be boying, but he wanted to actually
sort of hit back at the knockers after the game. Listen,
I can win.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'll go over there and give them be shot like it. Yeah,
we've won. What do we want? Eleven of thirteen? I
know everyone will be doom and gloom and us off
again after tonight. I got a lot of faith in
this team. You know, didn't go our way tonight, but
like I said to him after the game, review it
the same way. Get better, dust ourself off and we'll
(04:13):
go again. Still, yeah, said farewell to yet it's we've
got plenty of free liftings.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well that's all we can do. Off and go again.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I reckon they should start five fee Honestly, I reckon
they should start him in the middle. It was good
when he came on.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Do you think Hayden will be back? They miss him living.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, he is a living certainty to be back. Good
because his point was sitting out, you know, so that'll
make it interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Roll the dice.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, let's go for broke boys.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
They got to lose.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Jordan Clark was good. There's a few guys. He had
a good game. The Eagles, as you mentioned Russ, they
can't wait for the season to end. It's just it's
like a car crash in slow motion.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's amazing. I saw that stat about a third of
their last ninety games have they lost by ten goals
or more?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I mean that is ninety four points. It was by
the Bulldogs, so probably less said about that. The better
one game Sydney.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Let's move on. I think that'd rather we just yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And mentioned the afl W, their waffle. Their afl W
team's going well the ecause they look strong and the
Dockers had a sensational start. They are flag contenders. I
reckon that.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, let's not let's not talk like that anymore. After
one game. Let's just let it. Let's just let it
run its course, shall we?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Can you give me an f for them, please the
women's team.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Female.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Female mantle, femantle, the Doers distancing themselves from the Blakes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But probably the biggest story this week, and you heard
it in the news nationally, I mean out for us
the biggest stories of docers, but nationally will be this
vilification and investigation on Adelaide' starf Isaac Rankin. Like he's
one of their best players, their premiership contenders, and in
the Collingwood game is saying that somebody used a homophobic slur.
(06:10):
And if he gets four weeks like Jack Graham did,
you'll miss the last game of the year and three
probably three finals, which means he could miss that's it.
It could be seasoned over one of their greatest players.
It'd be sort of like Sarong gooing out right now,
or Brayshaw or Jackson or something like that. So that's
going to be one to watch. We'll keep you posted
on that. Well, no by Wednesday, but I'm sure you'll
(06:32):
have to fight it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But so much to miss for a slip of the tongue, huh.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I guess you should think before you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
The words are important nowadays, aren't they aren't They words
are important and in the old days they weren't important.
Now they're important and we've come a long way. But
the job's not finished and words do matter. So making
sure the game stays welcoming for everybody is what our
job is.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I suppose Harley Reid rumor, Yes, Well it's getting.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Getting very very close to a decision and it feels
like he is going to stay. He's got a beautiful
little dog and he has well to post live in Melbourne. Yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
The post said it was not pretty much a done deal.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Who said it?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
What is it a jillion dollars for twenty five years
or something?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It'd be two million a year?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, for how many twenty years old?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well that's the that's the debating point. So is it
for eleven? Is it just for the two?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That's a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Four million dollars for two years and then it maybe
with a trigger, so we'll keep on top of that.
No doubt that will be plauses. It might be a
big distraction too from how they're going. That's maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's out there over here.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
What about dot look at what we're doing? What about
the Wallabies say this was unbelievable? I don't know if
you're rugby fans or there's many listening. But cheap is
stunning win over the World Champs, the spring Box of
the World Champs. Yeah, basically unbeatable, genuinely one of the
greatest upsets of all time. In Joe Berg. We played
(08:04):
in Joe Big. We haven't won there in sixty two years.
Oh wow, Okay, we played altitude. Okay, so we're great altitudes,
so we're gonna get used to that. We played the
best Springbok team ever probably and we were twenty two
points down after eighteen minutes. And I almost turned off
the TV. It's late at nice the bug of this, Yeah,
going to bed, And then I said, now I might
just stay for a bit. And they scored thirty eight
(08:25):
unanswered points. The Aussies Wallaby Storm game played. I don't
know if the Box were playing with their food a
bit and that sort of thing, you know, just messing around.
They did all these weird line outs and stuff. He
was like, oh, maybe they're just messing around. Well, the
Wallabies were magnificent and the commentators, RUSS commentators ever listen
how excited the commentators get.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Torvison's gotta tab crail Tavis is there.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Tom Right's going the other way? Tom right?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Tom Right?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Tell me h tom right backing till Oh my, this
is just too god this exta.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
To be fair. How long has it been since we've
seen the Wallabies do anything?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Sixty two years?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, it was no wonder if it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Sounded like he was on ex sick. That was unbelievable. Mate,
How excited was that guy? So well done to them
and to the and last night as well the Boomers.
So has this. We've won the Asian Cup for a
third straight time. We've beat China and China had a
shot on the bus at to win. So watch the
news you'll see that. But we are the champions of
(09:35):
Asia of Asia. Can you believe that? That's like China
winning the meat pie contest at the Royal Shows up?
How does that happen? Somewhere in Beijing there's a Chinese
coach going hang on, We've got one point four billion
people and we can't beat Xavier Cooks. You know what
I mean? Like, how does that actually happen? But anyway,
well done to the Boomers. We are there. We have
(09:57):
won the Asian Cup again.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
All right, we'll see you on Wednesday for just Wednesday,
