Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tomorrow Night's teams are in and Collingwood has made the
big change, trusting Mason Cox to build on his memorable
finals records.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The atmosphere and occasion in Adelaide will be immense, even
more so as favorite sun Texts celebrates game number three hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
And keeping it in the family.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Jack Sylvanni leaves the club of his birthright to reunite
with his father at Saint Kilda.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
We've talked about his step into it, embrace all.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Of it in the room and reason it's unedifying for
a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
They're on the side of Courtia with the brain cape
the man on.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
start of the season and injury said president left the
couple older say, of course they do.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It is the stuff that legends are made of. What
is holding the ball?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I don't think I could answer it clearly right now
that I could do something.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Wrong, you know, And I need to get and the boards.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Actually the fans lover and with no fans, no through
sixty year.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Old the EVA Finals.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The fever is starting to take hold as it gotcha
yet does They had me about ten.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Days ago journey perfectly honest. I can't wait. Now we're here.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well done to everyone and got through this period without
any men's football. That is so, it is here. It's
going to be worth the weight. I just don't want
to wait, Jurney. That's enough of the waight, no more weight.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Cars are packed ready to go at four in the morning,
planes full of Collingwood supporters.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Teams have come in now so it gets very real,
it gets very pointing, and I'm looking forward to the show.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Nowhere feels it quite so intensely. I think as in Adelaide,
and it is captured in their newspaper. How many pages
do you think tomorrow's wrap around in the Adelaide Advertiser is.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, No, I got that wrong, Jude.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How much news will be wrapped around the paper which
will be text.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That's how they got to go about it, is he Do.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know the it's a thirty two page right, it's
got light. It's like the old days of the Valentine's
Day paper. There are two thousand messages set in by
the Crows, faithful in gratitude for the years with texts.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What a long way he's come the text and three
hundred games and what a what a stage to play
there where there'd be too many biggest stages for a
three hundred games. So yep, now to lad people will
get around him calling with people will get around him.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
It'll be memorable.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
It will be memorable. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here's how we've got lined up tonight, our favorite pairing,
John Longmi and Adam Simson. I was wondering today, they've
been so sanguine all year. I wonder if this is
the time where you have just missed the old job
a little bit there.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I think we'll see it tonight. I think they're going
to reminisce a bit and go down memory lane. I
think it will come out all right.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Mark Raschudo to set the scene for us, the teams
in a moment of time, and then First Crack preview
Ben Dixon, David King and Lee Montagne will take you
deep into these four finals and then to our match coverage.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, we'll we'll be waiting for this.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's our first time broadcasting here at Fox Footy Finals Footy,
and we are excited to you. We're not trying to
hide that at all. So we're sending the big guns everywhere.
So that is a team and a half. It's going
to be there tomorrow night and they'll be broadca from
up on the hill and then absolutely ripping it to
shreds and what an honor it will be for everyone
there to be there, so they'll be outstanding. Then we'll
roll over to Friday and Jared, this is with you
(03:08):
and I can get excited because you and Anthony will
do the best job of calling this game in footy
and we'll provide all the support act there and that's
got just ramifications every week.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What about Tom Hawkins and Jonathan Brown together, you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Camp Mooney, just throw him into the if you don't
mind Saturday up to Sydney, this will be a belt
as well. Sarah or head up the team and Durham
haven't traveled together back since the Channel nine. I'll bet
you one hundred bucks is late, but you'll get there
and you'll do an outstanding job. And then over in Perth,
we've got you covered everywhere. This is the strength of
(03:44):
this Fox Footy outfit, covered every single game.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Throughout the year. Now going to do the finals, so
bring it on.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You can to have any one of the eighth for
d Day, but we have last you to narrow it
down each week. When we've got to Wednesday for Ossie
Broadband Pick one D Day.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well yeah, they're all D Days.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But I went with the Cats for the simple reason
they don't want to go four zip down to Brisbane.
They don't want to have to contemplate getting back into
a Grand Final and have to go through a team
that have beaten them four times in a row. So
I think this is their time to put the flag
in the ground. Mcg There'd be no secrets between these
two teams, you know, we can all go through the
(04:21):
tactics and what might or might not happen. There won't
be much that they don't know about each other. So
their mind for the Cats, I'm I'm suggesting the Brisbane
might win, but I think I think Geelong.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Would very much like to get this out of the
road and get austraight into Brewin.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've gone with Hawthorne, who at the end of September
last year felt like the team with the bullet They
had laid the foundations. They were bitterly disappointed to bow
out in the semi final and all those sacrimonious circumstances
so close. They went to the trade period got everything
that they wanted. There were those who had them as
premiership favorites coming in and they started the season like
a German band and then I've ended up winning one
(04:58):
more home and away game. They lost one place in
the ladder. They're still in an elimation final, but they're
out of state where last year was at the MCG.
It is very winnable though, and I've had this nagging
sense all week that the team who wins this game
will bore a hole into September. There's more than one
final to be one and if that's Hawthorne, maybe they
can still see the preliminary final that they were they
(05:19):
were left anguish not to reach last year. And of
all that we heard from the coaches, I thought the
most telling was Sam Mitchell said to us, if they
lose on Saturday, it'll feel like a wasted year. There's
development in it, but it will feel like a wasted year.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
If they're out, yeah, that'll be a belcher. So they're
both in good form. Nine of the last ten of
the Giants, nine of the last eleven. Here go further back, but.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
They're going to hit the ground running and both be
in good form. So they are four fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The agenda starts where the finals do, and that's in
Adelaide tomorrow night. Again, that has all the elements, given
what has happened recently, in an atmosphere where footy truly soars.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
You know, we're in a unique positions always our opponent
that we've played each other recently.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
There's a lot of respect there for the way that
last game played out and probably the ten games before that.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The whole build up for this game is huge, and
so it should be. It's a final, it's spring. This
is when you want to be involved, and we're pumped.
There's a real dial in energy downstairs and then ideally
you see that when you come watch his train, but
that just leads you to the first bounce.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
The first bounce.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
This is the big one, the end laid Oval Pact capacity.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It's been a sellout for three weeks leading up to
this game.
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Nowhere in the biggest having a game of the year
right now, two of the biggest supporting clubs. Pressure on
everywhere you look, and this is as a player, the
games that you want are playing throughout your career.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
We've got our work cut out and we're very mild form.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
We've said this right the way through and been pung
depart when it comes to.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Our opposition, you know, we focus.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
On what we do well.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
We've been preparing all season.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
The playfil is free, the PRIs.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
By twenty five.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Just gonna step into. It's going to be a big
challenge because we do not know. If you think you're
playing a team that's won nine games of the row
and they.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Finished top of the ladder.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
There's a huge build up in Adelaide for what's coming.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And the pros that kicks threight around.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
A really excite around maney Nix's first finals campaign and
while their players playing their first final.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's a huge build up.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
Bills these gards.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
What a Mark, what a man.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
He's a different.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Pace this dry.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
That's part of our challenges and that's the part we
don't know because we don't have experience on that stage yet,
at least not to the level of our opponents.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
They've got more players and played files for you.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
He hands it up to take us, Nick, take cars.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Neck, take us difference again.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
This is what we've done all our preparation.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
For is is to be in this moment.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
And in the city of Churches, I'm waiting for September,
a night they'll never forget.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And a night that is about to be reprised. So
want to build up what a backdrop it is, given
what you were there for not long ago. We'll do
the teams first, because they tell their own story. From
an Adelaide perspective. Max Michael Laney is ready to resume.
He did his hamstring in the showdown in round twenty
and Luke Peddler comes back seven games, nine goals in
his season. Dowling and Draper were seat fillers in the
(08:43):
last game of the home and away season. The real
stories are at Collingwood, where Will park Up is going
to play his ninth game, and they have gone with
Mason Cox the howse injured and McStay has been omitted.
On the McStay side of things, he hasn't had any
luck since he got to the Pies. He arrived in
twenty twenty three. He did his knee in the preliminary final.
He dragged himself back for a handful of games at
(09:05):
the end of twenty four when they don't qualify for finals.
He hurt his knee on Anzac Day, got back for
the King's Birthday, has played eleven in a row, but
his form has been deteriorating. He left himself vulnerable and
they've gone for Mason Cox.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a big cool yard. It's to leave it as
late as it is. I can't work it out. You
have gone to work.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Out on it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So this is why twenty eighteen preliminary final, second quarter
iconic moments. Three goals in a row for Mason Cox.
He is the separator, He's the defining figure of that game.
That's his career moments. But then in twenty twenty in
the elimination final, again deep in enemy territory against the Eagles,
three goals in a quarter, three consecutive goals in the
(09:46):
first quarter to set a tone that Collingwood were able
to run right through the rest of the match and
prevail in the narrowest of fashions. And then in the
twenty twenty three preliminary final, which is the ultimate nerve test,
he kicks the goal in the last quarter that gives
Collingwood a lead. He breaks the type, it's Collingwood in front.
They don't surrender that lead as they survived by a point.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So in his twelve finals and ten goals.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It doesn't look that hot on paper, but when you
dig into it in the big moments, he has delivered
three times for them, and in a game that might
be right on the edge when you need a big
market one moment, maybe he can.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well you've answered my question for me, but I'm still
not having it. Yes, so he's kicked two goals for
the year, he's played eight games. He's kicked two goals
four in eight games a footy and they've waited until now.
Now there are other factors that will be taken into
consideration here, and Mark Keane would loom as one of them,
and Worrell the other, two of the best interceptors in
(10:44):
the competition. So if capacity fit him, just to compete
aerially and not be outmarked might be enough for them.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Because if he.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Turns around and you kick three goals in a quarter,
as I said, that's the one when he's kicked for
the year. He hadn't looked like it this year, to
be perfectly honest and perfectly frank. And he's coming up
very well drilled defensive unit. So it was a surprise
to me. But McStay must have been well, has been
in some really ordinary form. The bottom line is adelaide
better for the.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Changes and Collingwood aren't. So that's just a small snapshot.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Mike Lannie in and Peddler in experience against the two
kids going out, so they're a better outfit for it.
And Jeremy Howe out of any side, particularly this Collingwood
side and the way that they've been defending of late
is a whole and mcxday and young Will Parker comes
back in. So a little tech, little win. Dadelais crows.
What it mounts for I don't know, but it'll be
real fascinating to see. I'm a fan of Mason Cox.
(11:35):
I love what he's been able to do. He's a competitor,
you'll front up and you'll work hard in the end.
Maybe that narrowed his focus down to just don't let
marketing mark against you.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It is a big play late in the season or
right on the cusp of finals. What is there anything
in particular that's been nagging a way as you've been
thinking back over the events from nineteen days ago when
you were there and trying to forecast what it might
look like when they come together again.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We all Collingwood's form in the last ten weeks when
I look at all the finalists and what they've been
up to in recent times, there's this glaring their form
hasn't been great as compared to everyone else who's winning.
There nine in a row, there's seven of eight, six
of eight, nine of ten, nine of eleven, seven of ten,
nine of eleven. Get the Collingwood five of ten, So
that all's away at me, and that's you can't run
away from that. And then on the night, as I said,
(12:22):
it'll be and our team will do an outstanding job
tomorrow night. This first quarter that Collingwood produced on.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
That night should be revisited. From their point of view.
It was I've spoke about this a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was aggressive and bold, and it was five goals
to one at quarter of time. And then you had
this seven goal blitz creek from the Adelaid crowds, which
is as good a foot as I've seen probably.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
For the year.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So it's all there, and anyone that says they can
definitively pick the winner, you're better than money.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I'm leaning towards Adelaide right now, but I can't wait
for it none.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I can't wait for it as well.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So there's no bigger name in the town at the
time house in Curability. It's the longest driveway in South Australia.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Should adelaide Champion Rue.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
It's great to have you with us on three sixty.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
It's good to be here in September talking about the
Crows for a change. But it's going to be absolutely huge.
I know for a fact. There's so many people missed
out on tickets the other day when they went on sale.
I think a couple one hundred thousand people trying to
get fifty thousand tickets. There was a lot of people
that missed out and a lot of disappointed people. But
they broke the record in the last game that they
(13:28):
played a few weeks ago. I reckon they might break
it again tomorrow night. It looks like conditions are going
to be perfect, and you know, it's just absolutely primed
to be a big game.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Isn't it so?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Biggest night of foot in your town since the prelim
of twenty seventeen, that's what it feels like we walk into.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Absolutely, everyone's pumped. Everyone's ready to go. Look, there's been
a bit of a downer since the ISAAC ranking incident
a few weeks ago, but I know that he's been
back in town yesterday and he's chatted to the boys.
I think the players are in a very good mindset
and they're ready to go. So we know Colin were
going to bring the heat. They always do on the road.
(14:07):
They love traveling, they love playing it Adelaide over as well,
so they're not going to be frightened about coming over
to Adelaide. So it's going to be another close one.
I can't see it being a blowout, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You mentioned Isaac their Ruin. You're obviously an officeholder at
the club. How did you feel he handled last night
when he returned to the country and made his public apology.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, personally, I think he did a really, really good job.
You know, he owned the mistake. He knows it was
his mistake. He knows he didn't do the right thing
at all. You know, a lot of people could argue
about whether he should have done it before he went
away or when he got back. He chose to do
it when he got back. He obviously wasn't in the
right frame of mind to do it before he left,
(14:49):
But I thought it was he did a great job
last night, and you know he's very very sorry for
what he did. He was extremely nervous in the press conference.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He didn't have any notes.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
He did it off the calf and I personally thought
he did a great job. And you know, as I said,
he's spoken to the boys today. I think he'll speak
to the afl W side as well, and then he'll
get on with trying to help the guys win throughout
the finals. I know it's better for him if they
lose tomorrow and night and still get to a Grand Final,
(15:24):
but I'm pretty certain he'd be happy if they win
as well tomorrow night and keep moving forward in September.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, don't Rue put your Adelaide Crow's cap on. You're
not your Fox footy cap. I want to talk about
you as a person that's involved with the footy department,
making the appointment of Matthew.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Nicks, just holding the line. It's been you know, it
hasn't been smooth sailing.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But I've spoken to you a lot about this in
recent times that the faith has been really strong. How
confident are you that they'll be able to handle this
occasion tomorrow night.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, there's been a bit of commentary Gary, hasn't there
about whether you're need finals experience to do well in
the finals. But you know, back when I played in
ninety ninety seven and ninety ninety eight, they.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Didn't have it, and they did it then. And I
think Richmond were pretty.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Good in twenty seventeen when they knocked off the Crows
as well.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
And one thing that the Crows have done.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
This year is they've exceeded expectations all year. They come
from fifteenth last year. There wasn't high expectations at.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
The start externally.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I know internally they were definitely shooting pretty high. But
what they've been able to do is keep adapting and changing.
They couldn't win on the road at the start of
the year, they started winning on the road. They couldn't
beat top eight sides for a farewell either, then they
started beating top eight sides. Their defense wasn't good at
the start of the year. Now they've got one of
(16:46):
the best defenses in the competition. They've had some big games,
none bigger than the Collingwood game a few weeks ago,
and they've been able to do that. They haven't won
close games prior to this year as well, and they've
won a few this year, so I think they've had
quite a few big tests this year already and they've
stood up and done really well in them. So that's
(17:07):
as good a preparation as you could have.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
For a final.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
So that doesn't worry me at all about you know,
can they step up in big games. I think they've
shown they can this year.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The additional piece on a big night is Taylor Walker
reaching game three hundred, which is the game's most revered milestone.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
One that you know, Rue.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Is what has he meant to Adelaide is as he
reaches this accolade.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Look, he will now go down as one of the
greats of the Adelaide Football Club. You know, what he's
been able to achieve over his whole career has been magnificent.
I've really loved what he's been able to do over
the last four.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Or five years.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
You know, He's had a lot of difficult times throughout
his career, but probably none more difficult than the last
five years. You know, even last eight years really with
the Grand Final loss, the fallout from that, the camp
the year after dealing with that, going through a rebuild,
(18:07):
having a side down the bottom of the ladder. You know,
he was aging at the same time. It's really hard
to be a good forward in a bad side. You know,
he had a couple of lean seasons and then he's
adapted and I reckon he's really grown as a person
and you know, the football he's produced the last few
years has been fantastic and I think he's exceeded everyone's expectations.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Even this year.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
He's still a very important cog in the side. You
know when he's out there, they walked taller when he's
out there.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
So he's had a fantastic year. But he's loved by everyone.
He's one of the.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Most popular Crows ever. There's been a few of them,
but he's right up there. You know, he's a country boy.
He's a bit of Alarican. He loves a beer, he
loves a prank, he loves.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Loves a laugh.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
He is absolutely fantastic with supporters young and old.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
You know, there's there's none better.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Have a photo, he'll sign a jumper, He'll send a
video message whenever you ask him. So he's really you know,
he's made some mistakes, we know that and he's owned
them as well.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
But apart from that, he's nearly the.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Perfect footballer at the football club. So you know, everyone
loves texts. You know, I see him every week on
Triple M. You know everyone loves him there as well.
So yeah, I think it's going to be And that's
another reason why tomorrow and night is going to be huge.
It'll be jam packed. I think he'll play a good
game in his milestone game. The good players usually step
(19:34):
up and try and play well, and I think he'll
do that tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
We will see you there. He'll be down with any
bets on the boundary.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
So enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
All right, Thanks very much, guys, have a good night.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I had to get going by the time he gets
home and walks down on the drive. He wants to
be at the start of first crack, which is him.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Lovely, he referenced there the press statement made life last
night by Isaac Rankin as he returned to the country.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
I want to start by saying how deeply so I
am for.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
What I said. There was no excuse.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
He was wrong, and I take full responsibility. I'm disappointed
in myself and I know I've let a lot of
people down.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I want to.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Apologize to anyone that I've hurt offended. I understand that
word is offensive, It's harmful it's hurtful and has no
place in that game or our society. I am in
no way victim, but by going away, it's giving me
the space to reflect and educate myself, to understand the
weight of my mistake, and I'm fully committed to better
(20:42):
in myself in that area. In the next few days,
I'll be standing in front of my teammates the AFLW
and apologizing to them personally, as I deserve this at
the very least. From here, all I can do is
put my head down, work hard, support my team.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
It's and the best way.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
I can and shows through my actions that I'm growing
and learning from my mistake. More than anything, I want
this club to succeed, so I will be doing everything
I can to gain everyone's trustpact and have a positive
impact on society and my supporters.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It couldn't have been more heartfelt and raw. No, No,
it's no sparing himself. For two and a half weeks in,
I thought he handled his moment pretty well.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yeah, it's landed heavy, So.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
He's gone through a tough time and your text Walker
is the template. So if Isaac's looking for inspiration and
Mark alluded to it, Texts had a racism issue that
was really challenging for all of the people involved, particularly
the Indigenous community. And I'm told that Texts has gone
(21:57):
over and above to do exactly what Isaac said that
he needs to do.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
So now we sit back and I think we're all
in for a redemption story.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And I'm happy for Isaac now to go about and
do what he says he wants to do, and I
don't I won't be judging him any differently.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Do we all make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's made a bad one, but he'll hopefully as and
that gives me great confidence that he will learn from it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
On the trade side of things, Jack Sylvanni has tipped
his hands. He is heading force and killed her, so
exercising the free agency that he had at Carlton and
heading force and killed her. So this is a spending
spree that the Saints are on. It is reported to
be a four million dollar contract across five years at
the Saints, which was significantly more than was on offer
at Collingwood and the Bulldogs. I think, rightly or wrongly,
(22:44):
there is a sense of being played at least one
roof not both of the other clubs who hadn't been
courting Silvanne for some time.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Right, Well, here's my advice and we're going to move
on with the program. If you're sent Kilda supporter, let
everyone else worry about the dollars. Don't go getting caught
up in the minutia of is he worth five hundred?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Is he worth five hundred?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
If you're a Sin Kilda fan, just worry about the
side that's going to be put out there next year.
Does Jack make you better? I think he does. You
can make up your own I think he does. Does
the Caning make he does? Would leam Ryan probably does,
and would Dellee qually It probably does.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
So you should be wrapped now. For everyone else who wants.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
To get into the money game, and whether you're being played,
that's for us here, that's radio media, footy gloves to
bitch and mon.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
But if you're Sint Kilda fan, you're getting better. You
just hope doesn't blow up in your face.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
That's a four million dollar spending three plus two million
to keep the wagon. Miller it is, it's just chips
in it is. You want to jolt your own fate.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
This is it because he picked one his contract came out.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I don't know how long ago it was eight, ten weeks,
one point four over whatever, and I went, God almighty,
that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
And then I'm today, I'm going cheap. That's got him cheap.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So I know it's going to be a great talking point.
But does he make some Kilda better? Yep he does,
Thanks fans.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Away market moves fast.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Our coaches who have been players in Premiership sides, they
know this time of year so well as comrades as rivals.
They've tasted the very best of us. We're gonna pick
the brains of Adam Simpson and John longmart The convinciation
Tomorrow Night's teams are in and Collingwood has made the
big change, trusting Mason Cox to build on his memorable
finals records.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The atmosphere and occasion in Adelaide will be immense, even
more so as favorite sun Texts celebrates game number three hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
And keeping it in the family.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Jack Sylvanni leaves the club of his birthright to reunite
with his father at Saint Kilda.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
We've talked about his step into it, embrace all.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Of it in the room and reason it's unedifying for
a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
They're on the side of Courtia with the brain cape
the man on.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
start of the season and injury said president left the
couple older say, of course they do.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It is the stuff that legends are made of. What
is holding the ball?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I don't think I could answer it clearly right now
that I could do something.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Wrong, you know, And I need to get and the boards.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Actually the fans lover and with no fans, no through
sixty year.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Old the EVA Finals.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The fever is starting to take hold as it gotcha
yet does They had me about ten.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Days ago journey perfectly honest. I can't wait. Now we're here.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well done to everyone and got through this period without
any men's football. That is so, it is here. It's
going to be worth the weight. I just don't want
to wait, Jurney. That's enough of the waight, no more weight.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Cars are packed ready to go at four in the morning,
planes full of Collingwood supporters.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Teams have come in now so it gets very real,
it gets very pointing, and I'm looking forward to the show.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Nowhere feels it quite so intensely. I think as in Adelaide,
and it is captured in their newspaper. How many pages
do you think tomorrow's wrap around in the Adelaide Advertiser is.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, No, I got that wrong, Jude.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How much news will be wrapped around the paper which
will be text.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That's how they got to go about it, is he Do.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know the it's a thirty two page right, it's
got light. It's like the old days of the Valentine's
Day paper. There are two thousand messages set in by
the Crows, faithful in gratitude for the years with texts.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What a long way he's come the text and three
hundred games and what a what a stage to play
there where there'd be too many biggest stages for a
three hundred games. So yep, now to lad people will
get around him calling with people will get around him.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
It'll be memorable.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
It will be memorable. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here's how we've got lined up tonight, our favorite pairing,
John Longmi and Adam Simson. I was wondering today, they've
been so sanguine all year. I wonder if this is
the time where you have just missed the old job
a little bit there.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I think we'll see it tonight. I think they're going
to reminisce a bit and go down memory lane. I
think it will come out all right.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Mark Raschudo to set the scene for us, the teams
in a moment of time, and then First Crack preview
Ben Dixon, David King and Lee Montagne will take you
deep into these four finals and then to our match coverage.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, we'll we'll be waiting for this.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's our first time broadcasting here at Fox Footy Finals Footy,
and we are excited to you. We're not trying to
hide that at all. So we're sending the big guns everywhere.
So that is a team and a half. It's going
to be there tomorrow night and they'll be broadca from
up on the hill and then absolutely ripping it to
shreds and what an honor it will be for everyone
there to be there, so they'll be outstanding. Then we'll
roll over to Friday and Jared, this is with you
(03:08):
and I can get excited because you and Anthony will
do the best job of calling this game in footy
and we'll provide all the support act there and that's
got just ramifications every week.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What about Tom Hawkins and Jonathan Brown together, you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Camp Mooney, just throw him into the if you don't
mind Saturday up to Sydney, this will be a belt
as well. Sarah or head up the team and Durham
haven't traveled together back since the Channel nine. I'll bet
you one hundred bucks is late, but you'll get there
and you'll do an outstanding job. And then over in Perth,
we've got you covered everywhere. This is the strength of
(03:44):
this Fox Footy outfit, covered every single game.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Throughout the year. Now going to do the finals, so
bring it on.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You can to have any one of the eighth for
d Day, but we have last you to narrow it
down each week. When we've got to Wednesday for Ossie
Broadband Pick one D Day.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well yeah, they're all D Days.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But I went with the Cats for the simple reason
they don't want to go four zip down to Brisbane.
They don't want to have to contemplate getting back into
a Grand Final and have to go through a team
that have beaten them four times in a row. So
I think this is their time to put the flag
in the ground. Mcg There'd be no secrets between these
two teams, you know, we can all go through the
(04:21):
tactics and what might or might not happen. There won't
be much that they don't know about each other. So
their mind for the Cats, I'm I'm suggesting the Brisbane
might win, but I think I think Geelong.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Would very much like to get this out of the
road and get austraight into Brewin.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've gone with Hawthorne, who at the end of September
last year felt like the team with the bullet They
had laid the foundations. They were bitterly disappointed to bow
out in the semi final and all those sacrimonious circumstances
so close. They went to the trade period got everything
that they wanted. There were those who had them as
premiership favorites coming in and they started the season like
a German band and then I've ended up winning one
(04:58):
more home and away game. They lost one place in
the ladder. They're still in an elimation final, but they're
out of state where last year was at the MCG.
It is very winnable though, and I've had this nagging
sense all week that the team who wins this game
will bore a hole into September. There's more than one
final to be one and if that's Hawthorne, maybe they
can still see the preliminary final that they were they
(05:19):
were left anguish not to reach last year. And of
all that we heard from the coaches, I thought the
most telling was Sam Mitchell said to us, if they
lose on Saturday, it'll feel like a wasted year. There's
development in it, but it will feel like a wasted year.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
If they're out, yeah, that'll be a belcher. So they're
both in good form. Nine of the last ten of
the Giants, nine of the last eleven. Here go further back, but.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
They're going to hit the ground running and both be
in good form. So they are four fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The agenda starts where the finals do, and that's in
Adelaide tomorrow night. Again, that has all the elements, given
what has happened recently, in an atmosphere where footy truly soars.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
You know, we're in a unique positions always our opponent
that we've played each other recently.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
There's a lot of respect there for the way that
last game played out and probably the ten games before that.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The whole build up for this game is huge, and
so it should be. It's a final, it's spring. This
is when you want to be involved, and we're pumped.
There's a real dial in energy downstairs and then ideally
you see that when you come watch his train, but
that just leads you to the first bounce.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
The first bounce.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
This is the big one, the end laid Oval Pact capacity.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It's been a sellout for three weeks leading up to
this game.
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Nowhere in the biggest having a game of the year
right now, two of the biggest supporting clubs. Pressure on
everywhere you look, and this is as a player, the
games that you want are playing throughout your career.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
We've got our work cut out and we're very mild form.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
We've said this right the way through and been pung
depart when it comes to.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Our opposition, you know, we focus.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
On what we do well.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
We've been preparing all season.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
The playfil is free, the PRIs.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
By twenty five.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Just gonna step into. It's going to be a big
challenge because we do not know. If you think you're
playing a team that's won nine games of the row
and they.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Finished top of the ladder.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
There's a huge build up in Adelaide for what's coming.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And the pros that kicks threight around.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
A really excite around maney Nix's first finals campaign and
while their players playing their first final.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's a huge build up.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
Bills these gards.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
What a Mark, what a man.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
He's a different.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Pace this dry.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
That's part of our challenges and that's the part we
don't know because we don't have experience on that stage yet,
at least not to the level of our opponents.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
They've got more players and played files for you.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
He hands it up to take us, Nick, take cars.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Neck, take us difference again.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
This is what we've done all our preparation.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
For is is to be in this moment.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
And in the city of Churches, I'm waiting for September,
a night they'll never forget.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And a night that is about to be reprised. So
want to build up what a backdrop it is, given
what you were there for not long ago. We'll do
the teams first, because they tell their own story. From
an Adelaide perspective. Max Michael Laney is ready to resume.
He did his hamstring in the showdown in round twenty
and Luke Peddler comes back seven games, nine goals in
his season. Dowling and Draper were seat fillers in the
(08:43):
last game of the home and away season. The real
stories are at Collingwood, where Will park Up is going
to play his ninth game, and they have gone with
Mason Cox the howse injured and McStay has been omitted.
On the McStay side of things, he hasn't had any
luck since he got to the Pies. He arrived in
twenty twenty three. He did his knee in the preliminary final.
He dragged himself back for a handful of games at
(09:05):
the end of twenty four when they don't qualify for finals.
He hurt his knee on Anzac Day, got back for
the King's Birthday, has played eleven in a row, but
his form has been deteriorating. He left himself vulnerable and
they've gone for Mason Cox.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a big cool yard. It's to leave it as
late as it is. I can't work it out. You
have gone to work.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Out on it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So this is why twenty eighteen preliminary final, second quarter
iconic moments. Three goals in a row for Mason Cox.
He is the separator, He's the defining figure of that game.
That's his career moments. But then in twenty twenty in
the elimination final, again deep in enemy territory against the Eagles,
three goals in a quarter, three consecutive goals in the
(09:46):
first quarter to set a tone that Collingwood were able
to run right through the rest of the match and
prevail in the narrowest of fashions. And then in the
twenty twenty three preliminary final, which is the ultimate nerve test,
he kicks the goal in the last quarter that gives
Collingwood a lead. He breaks the type, it's Collingwood in front.
They don't surrender that lead as they survived by a point.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So in his twelve finals and ten goals.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It doesn't look that hot on paper, but when you
dig into it in the big moments, he has delivered
three times for them, and in a game that might
be right on the edge when you need a big
market one moment, maybe he can.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well you've answered my question for me, but I'm still
not having it. Yes, so he's kicked two goals for
the year, he's played eight games. He's kicked two goals
four in eight games a footy and they've waited until now.
Now there are other factors that will be taken into
consideration here, and Mark Keane would loom as one of them,
and Worrell the other, two of the best interceptors in
(10:44):
the competition. So if capacity fit him, just to compete
aerially and not be outmarked might be enough for them.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Because if he.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Turns around and you kick three goals in a quarter,
as I said, that's the one when he's kicked for
the year. He hadn't looked like it this year, to
be perfectly honest and perfectly frank. And he's coming up
very well drilled defensive unit. So it was a surprise
to me. But McStay must have been well, has been
in some really ordinary form. The bottom line is adelaide
better for the.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Changes and Collingwood aren't. So that's just a small snapshot.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Mike Lannie in and Peddler in experience against the two
kids going out, so they're a better outfit for it.
And Jeremy Howe out of any side, particularly this Collingwood
side and the way that they've been defending of late
is a whole and mcxday and young Will Parker comes
back in. So a little tech, little win. Dadelais crows.
What it mounts for I don't know, but it'll be
real fascinating to see. I'm a fan of Mason Cox.
(11:35):
I love what he's been able to do. He's a competitor,
you'll front up and you'll work hard in the end.
Maybe that narrowed his focus down to just don't let
marketing mark against you.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It is a big play late in the season or
right on the cusp of finals. What is there anything
in particular that's been nagging a way as you've been
thinking back over the events from nineteen days ago when
you were there and trying to forecast what it might
look like when they come together again.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We all Collingwood's form in the last ten weeks when
I look at all the finalists and what they've been
up to in recent times, there's this glaring their form
hasn't been great as compared to everyone else who's winning.
There nine in a row, there's seven of eight, six
of eight, nine of ten, nine of eleven, seven of ten,
nine of eleven. Get the Collingwood five of ten, So
that all's away at me, and that's you can't run
away from that. And then on the night, as I said,
(12:22):
it'll be and our team will do an outstanding job
tomorrow night. This first quarter that Collingwood produced on.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
That night should be revisited. From their point of view.
It was I've spoke about this a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was aggressive and bold, and it was five goals
to one at quarter of time. And then you had
this seven goal blitz creek from the Adelaid crowds, which
is as good a foot as I've seen probably.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
For the year.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So it's all there, and anyone that says they can
definitively pick the winner, you're better than money.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I'm leaning towards Adelaide right now, but I can't wait
for it none.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I can't wait for it as well.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So there's no bigger name in the town at the
time house in Curability. It's the longest driveway in South Australia.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Should adelaide Champion Rue.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
It's great to have you with us on three sixty.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
It's good to be here in September talking about the
Crows for a change. But it's going to be absolutely huge.
I know for a fact. There's so many people missed
out on tickets the other day when they went on sale.
I think a couple one hundred thousand people trying to
get fifty thousand tickets. There was a lot of people
that missed out and a lot of disappointed people. But
they broke the record in the last game that they
(13:28):
played a few weeks ago. I reckon they might break
it again tomorrow night. It looks like conditions are going
to be perfect, and you know, it's just absolutely primed
to be a big game.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Isn't it so?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Biggest night of foot in your town since the prelim
of twenty seventeen, that's what it feels like we walk into.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Absolutely, everyone's pumped. Everyone's ready to go. Look, there's been
a bit of a downer since the ISAAC ranking incident
a few weeks ago, but I know that he's been
back in town yesterday and he's chatted to the boys.
I think the players are in a very good mindset
and they're ready to go. So we know Colin were
going to bring the heat. They always do on the road.
(14:07):
They love traveling, they love playing it Adelaide over as well,
so they're not going to be frightened about coming over
to Adelaide. So it's going to be another close one.
I can't see it being a blowout, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You mentioned Isaac their Ruin. You're obviously an officeholder at
the club. How did you feel he handled last night
when he returned to the country and made his public apology.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, personally, I think he did a really, really good job.
You know, he owned the mistake. He knows it was
his mistake. He knows he didn't do the right thing
at all. You know, a lot of people could argue
about whether he should have done it before he went
away or when he got back. He chose to do
it when he got back. He obviously wasn't in the
right frame of mind to do it before he left,
(14:49):
But I thought it was he did a great job
last night, and you know he's very very sorry for
what he did. He was extremely nervous in the press conference.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He didn't have any notes.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
He did it off the calf and I personally thought
he did a great job. And you know, as I said,
he's spoken to the boys today. I think he'll speak
to the afl W side as well, and then he'll
get on with trying to help the guys win throughout
the finals. I know it's better for him if they
lose tomorrow and night and still get to a Grand Final,
(15:24):
but I'm pretty certain he'd be happy if they win
as well tomorrow night and keep moving forward in September.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, don't Rue put your Adelaide Crow's cap on. You're
not your Fox footy cap. I want to talk about
you as a person that's involved with the footy department,
making the appointment of Matthew.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Nicks, just holding the line. It's been you know, it
hasn't been smooth sailing.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But I've spoken to you a lot about this in
recent times that the faith has been really strong. How
confident are you that they'll be able to handle this
occasion tomorrow night.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, there's been a bit of commentary Gary, hasn't there
about whether you're need finals experience to do well in
the finals. But you know, back when I played in
ninety ninety seven and ninety ninety eight, they.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Didn't have it, and they did it then. And I
think Richmond were pretty.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Good in twenty seventeen when they knocked off the Crows
as well.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
And one thing that the Crows have done.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
This year is they've exceeded expectations all year. They come
from fifteenth last year. There wasn't high expectations at.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
The start externally.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I know internally they were definitely shooting pretty high. But
what they've been able to do is keep adapting and changing.
They couldn't win on the road at the start of
the year, they started winning on the road. They couldn't
beat top eight sides for a farewell either, then they
started beating top eight sides. Their defense wasn't good at
the start of the year. Now they've got one of
(16:46):
the best defenses in the competition. They've had some big games,
none bigger than the Collingwood game a few weeks ago,
and they've been able to do that. They haven't won
close games prior to this year as well, and they've
won a few this year, so I think they've had
quite a few big tests this year already and they've
stood up and done really well in them. So that's
(17:07):
as good a preparation as you could have.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
For a final.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
So that doesn't worry me at all about you know,
can they step up in big games. I think they've
shown they can this year.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The additional piece on a big night is Taylor Walker
reaching game three hundred, which is the game's most revered milestone.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
One that you know, Rue.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Is what has he meant to Adelaide is as he
reaches this accolade.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Look, he will now go down as one of the
greats of the Adelaide Football Club. You know, what he's
been able to achieve over his whole career has been magnificent.
I've really loved what he's been able to do over
the last four.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Or five years.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
You know, He's had a lot of difficult times throughout
his career, but probably none more difficult than the last
five years. You know, even last eight years really with
the Grand Final loss, the fallout from that, the camp
the year after dealing with that, going through a rebuild,
(18:07):
having a side down the bottom of the ladder. You know,
he was aging at the same time. It's really hard
to be a good forward in a bad side. You know,
he had a couple of lean seasons and then he's
adapted and I reckon he's really grown as a person
and you know, the football he's produced the last few
years has been fantastic and I think he's exceeded everyone's expectations.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Even this year.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
He's still a very important cog in the side. You
know when he's out there, they walked taller when he's
out there.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
So he's had a fantastic year. But he's loved by everyone.
He's one of the.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Most popular Crows ever. There's been a few of them,
but he's right up there. You know, he's a country boy.
He's a bit of Alarican. He loves a beer, he
loves a prank, he loves.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Loves a laugh.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
He is absolutely fantastic with supporters young and old.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
You know, there's there's none better.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Have a photo, he'll sign a jumper, He'll send a
video message whenever you ask him. So he's really you know,
he's made some mistakes, we know that and he's owned
them as well.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
But apart from that, he's nearly the.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Perfect footballer at the football club. So you know, everyone
loves texts. You know, I see him every week on
Triple M. You know everyone loves him there as well.
So yeah, I think it's going to be And that's
another reason why tomorrow and night is going to be huge.
It'll be jam packed. I think he'll play a good
game in his milestone game. The good players usually step
(19:34):
up and try and play well, and I think he'll
do that tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
We will see you there. He'll be down with any
bets on the boundary.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
So enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
All right, Thanks very much, guys, have a good night.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I had to get going by the time he gets
home and walks down on the drive. He wants to
be at the start of first crack, which is him.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Lovely, he referenced there the press statement made life last
night by Isaac Rankin as he returned to the country.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
I want to start by saying how deeply so I
am for.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
What I said. There was no excuse.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
He was wrong, and I take full responsibility. I'm disappointed
in myself and I know I've let a lot of
people down.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I want to.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Apologize to anyone that I've hurt offended. I understand that
word is offensive, It's harmful it's hurtful and has no
place in that game or our society. I am in
no way victim, but by going away, it's giving me
the space to reflect and educate myself, to understand the
weight of my mistake, and I'm fully committed to better
(20:42):
in myself in that area. In the next few days,
I'll be standing in front of my teammates the AFLW
and apologizing to them personally, as I deserve this at
the very least. From here, all I can do is
put my head down, work hard, support my team.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
It's and the best way.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
I can and shows through my actions that I'm growing
and learning from my mistake. More than anything, I want
this club to succeed, so I will be doing everything
I can to gain everyone's trustpact and have a positive
impact on society and my supporters.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It couldn't have been more heartfelt and raw. No, No,
it's no sparing himself. For two and a half weeks in,
I thought he handled his moment pretty well.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yeah, it's landed heavy, So.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
He's gone through a tough time and your text Walker
is the template. So if Isaac's looking for inspiration and
Mark alluded to it, Texts had a racism issue that
was really challenging for all of the people involved, particularly
the Indigenous community. And I'm told that Texts has gone
(21:57):
over and above to do exactly what Isaac said that
he needs to do.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
So now we sit back and I think we're all
in for a redemption story.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And I'm happy for Isaac now to go about and
do what he says he wants to do, and I
don't I won't be judging him any differently.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Do we all make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's made a bad one, but he'll hopefully as and
that gives me great confidence that he will learn from it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
On the trade side of things, Jack Sylvanni has tipped
his hands. He is heading force and killed her, so
exercising the free agency that he had at Carlton and
heading force and killed her. So this is a spending
spree that the Saints are on. It is reported to
be a four million dollar contract across five years at
the Saints, which was significantly more than was on offer
at Collingwood and the Bulldogs. I think, rightly or wrongly,
(22:44):
there is a sense of being played at least one
roof not both of the other clubs who hadn't been
courting Silvanne for some time.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Right, Well, here's my advice and we're going to move
on with the program. If you're sent Kilda supporter, let
everyone else worry about the dollars. Don't go getting caught
up in the minutia of is he worth five hundred?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Is he worth five hundred?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
If you're a Sin Kilda fan, just worry about the
side that's going to be put out there next year.
Does Jack make you better? I think he does. You
can make up your own I think he does. Does
the Caning make he does? Would leam Ryan probably does,
and would Dellee qually It probably does.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
So you should be wrapped now. For everyone else who wants.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
To get into the money game, and whether you're being played,
that's for us here, that's radio media, footy gloves to
bitch and mon.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
But if you're Sint Kilda fan, you're getting better. You
just hope doesn't blow up in your face.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
That's a four million dollar spending three plus two million
to keep the wagon. Miller it is, it's just chips
in it is. You want to jolt your own fate.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
This is it because he picked one his contract came out.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I don't know how long ago it was eight, ten weeks,
one point four over whatever, and I went, God almighty,
that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
And then I'm today, I'm going cheap. That's got him cheap.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So I know it's going to be a great talking point.
But does he make some Kilda better? Yep he does,
Thanks fans.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Away market moves fast.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Our coaches who have been players in Premiership sides, they
know this time of year so well as comrades as rivals.
They've tasted the very best of us. We're gonna pick
the brains of Adam Simpson and John longmart The convinciation
