Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wet's Talk Sport with the Mat Barrage.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get working, you've got to get
into work Blubber. Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so
when you need it you can get it or check
out work clubber dot com dot at.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
You a weekend, very much. Do that again. I heard
there was yelling at a television in yesterday afternoon in
Mount laws An Absolutely. I thought it was very exciting.

(00:33):
Tell you what, if you're watching the footy, thing's happened,
something big has happened. And it was the Dockers. They
were in purple world wide and purple, and so was I.
Well Purple.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's okay, relief for one team that they're into the
finals and relief for the other team.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
That's yeah, well it should be over unless something happens
on Wednesday night and the Sun's somehow lose des and
and who banged up they're playing there.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Sig was going to get into the forest.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
No sorry, yeah the Bulldogs, yeah yeah, yeah, Well the
Dockers we never doubted, and Freemantle booked their place in
September fifteen point winners, of course, spurred on by their
best quarter for the year. It was seven goals stunner
in that second quarter, seven unanswered goals just went bang
bang bang. It was a thing of beauty. Shay Bolton,

(01:22):
That's why they got him. He's a big time player,
two flags at Richmond, big time Bolton. He delivered and
the much malign Jai Amos.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I thought he was amazing. I thought he was the best. Well,
I thought Hayden was the best because he was instrumental
in everything that happened. He was, and I thought Amos
was incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Amos went from Amos to never Miss. He was incredible.
And full credits to Justin Longyear because he's copped.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
A lot of flapopped it so bad, whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Reason, but he kept the faith in his team, kept
the faith in his two rock policy. And he's three
tools up forward and they all kicked three goals trading.
That's it's amazing about Alex Pearce. I mean, we love Alex.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Purple Jesus, Yeah, yeah, that's him.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
He's so like Jesus, Like he shouldn't be playing footy.
He should be in a movie with Tom Cruise or something.
But he kept danger man Sam Darcy to wait for it,
let me check, no goals. He kept the Champ and
Murphy Reid must be the Writing Star winner this year.

(02:27):
How good is that kid? He is spectacular. They won't
give it to him. Don't give it to that Levi
Ashcroft from the Brisbane Lines, that's what they're like. But
Murphy read spectacular and the bomb.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Was very good though it wasn't he.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
There's a theme here with you looking. No, he was.
He was pretty good. He was good.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
He was and he played well too, That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
He kept that. He kicked an important goal. But what
about Patrick Voss. He's gone from the He's got to
move from the prancing pony. What about the purple Stallion?
What about something? It can't be a prancing pony when
you're like that, you're so muscular and huge and pushing
people over and or iron hooves, iron hooves.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Okay, I don't see that one.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
We'll work on it. We go back and work on something,
because they have to be a climb. He hates being
called the prancing pony. Yeah I would not. I thought
you were seriously And then he only vied him after
the game and he admitted that, and then he couldn't

(03:36):
he couldn't remember what Alex Pierce said after the game
in the group he said no, just went over the head.
And then Piers came on and started talking about how
anxious he was in the lead up to the game
and he may not play. That's a sensitive man, but
he did the job. So three seven and three against
top nine teams, so that means they can do it.
I mean, I don't want to say that it's flag man,

(04:01):
don't mention that. I'll just tell you what happens now.
So the Dockers will host Hawthorne, all the Gold Coast
Sons okay, most probably next Saturday week here in Perth
at Upta Stadium. Again, they're in sudden death from now
on st we prefer Gold Coast. I think Gold Coast. Yeah,
So the Sun Suns should beat Essena on Wednesday night,

(04:24):
beat okay on the Gold Coast and if they win
by more than thirty points, the Dockers will play the Suns.
If they win by less than thirty points to be
Hawthorne at Opta Stadium. So pretty cool. And the finals
top four locked in Adelaide finished top Toe Long second,
Brisbane third, Collingwood fourth, So the Crows will play Collingwood

(04:45):
in Adelaide in the first week of the finals and
the Cats will host the Lions at the MCG and
the rest will be sorted out after those games are done.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
But if I don't normally go for Adelaide Cats and Lions, no.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But I might make any Yeah, And so just so
people know, if Rio get through week one, which they will,
they'll win here. They'll play the loser, the loser of
Geelong and Brisbane away. So if they if it's Gelong,
it'll be the one week, one weekend.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Let's just look one week at a time.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
What a weekend for those poor old Eagles. Actually, you
know who I feel for is Oscar Allen. He's the
co captain of the club. The Eagles have had their
worst ever season and he has to go. Listen, by
the way, I'm leaving what hang on?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
We've just been might as well do it at the
time when everything's going wrong, Just just just do it,
ripping a band aid off.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, as it turns out, I mean, Queensland was calling
and he'd rather be a one team players. I know
that he's a beautiful man, but beautiful one day, big
contracts and there they go out the door and it's
only Hu and you know, the Eagles potentially can get
picked two in the draft, so they'll have picked one

(06:04):
and two and two. So they probably got the bubble
bubble wrap out get the bubble wrapo.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Picks last year, didn't they? I mean what sounds to
me like sometimes these you know, the people bang on
about having a great pick and it means nothing.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
But the problem lost so much experience this year. Yeah,
there was, so there was an imbalance.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, a couple of years time.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It was an unprecedented situational So.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
What I just feel ask Anyway, in the cricket, Australia
went mad in the Kai I think it was great
Barrier reef Oval it's called or something. Yeah, yeah that
sounds good, doesn't.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
It sounds like a weird place to play.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I saw the score. I had to do a double take.
Yeah I couldn't.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, well one day I know you missed a footy.
It's good you saw the cricket. Look just the score.
It was busy acting or something.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
It wasn't but someone had it on there. They were
watching the Rio docas on their phone, so I shoulder.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So of course, so they didn't want to lose the
series three and will get whitewashed. So Mitch Marsh, Travis
Head and Cameron Green they all blasted one hundred over
one hundred, so no one's actually, no Australian team's ever
had three Australian score century in a fifty over match,
so that happened. We posted two for four hundred and
thirty one. That's amazing, our second highest total in ODI history,

(07:25):
our second ever, and they smashed them. They won by
what they won, two andundred and seventy six runs, but
they did. They lost the series quickly. The waffle w
Grand Final so the women, the local women claim up
won their third premiership in four years for a juggernaut,
yet by a single point. It was really wet. Tiger's
played in four consecutive grand finals now and they won

(07:46):
last year and this year, so back to back, so
crazy stuff and it's Waffle Final time. We got to
get past East from Mantle. First day on Sunday we
were playing. No, you're playing Clearmont, Clearmont on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
We're always playing I've got no skin of go to
the Sharks.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah that's true. No, hang on, we're playing these sharks.
So if ease Birth lose and then we're playing the
week after. And what's your favorite drink or wine or
anything red? Yeah, hang on, I'll get back to read
one that everyone loves, A really expensive one.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Ped Folds greats great.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
If we if we win at check the.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Price of pet Folds Grange recently.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
What do they go for?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Loose lot, loose change. He'll find it down between the
cushions and left our garden for a lane.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, I'll just give you there, guys,
