Catch up on all the footy news from AFL 360, Monday the 14th of July with Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon.
Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon are back for a huge edition of AFL 360, discussing the three big MRO decisions of the week, starting with Xerri’s 3-match ban for a hit that knocked out Sparrow. The guys then debate two decisions that have baffled them - Adam Cerra facing the tribunal for umpire contact and Harley Reid being given a fine, rather than a suspension, for a trip on Travis Boak. They then dissect the best of the rest from Round 18.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
What did we learn from the season's most pivotal round
as fortunes rise and fall in the run to the
finals and the.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Jack Graham controversy as it played out behind the scenes,
the Eagles and Giants coaches join us.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
We've talked about is this step into it, embrace all
of it, get in the room and reason.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's unedifying for a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
They're on the side of cautia with the brain, take
the man on it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
start of the season, and in said president left the
couple older said.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Of course they do. Is the stuff that legends are
made of. What is holding the ball?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't think I could answer it clearly right now
that I could do.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Something wrong, you know, And I need to go and
the board sexually.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The fans lover and with no fans, no through sixty
year old.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
All the angles of out of eighteen head of a.
It's nice to see you open up.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Then nice to have you back. Jared in just a
still little sabbatical over to the States and a.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Dance dad for a week bit a viper room action.
We didn't. We have it in Vegas for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
The dance dads are a resourceful lot. They found the
AFL on US TV, Fox Sports too.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
The dance dad's viper room just started.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Quite mesh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lovely to have your back. I know he had a
good break.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Some games though, shouldn't be seen at home, let alone
abroad single handedly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
If you could have pulled off Richmond and Essen and
off all airwaves over in America, if we had any
ambition to take the game to the States, that would
have killed it dead in the water, Jared. It was
one of those nights, Saturday night. But there was plenty
good for you to talk. Just keep your sense of
humor about you. The words of Kerry pack One. He
got a couple of bits of indirect advice for the
great man. That was, don't you ever talk down again?
(01:55):
That I've paid millions for so I continue to try,
and I was the last my weekends selling it hard.
But in the end I did. There's a passenger player.
I just said that. Sorryky, that's it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Here's what we've got lined up for tonight on Coach
to Night. Adam Kingsley and Andrew mccaltera are going to
join us. All that's happened in the round and the aftermath,
and what a couch this is tonight, What a special edition.
Not only Leigh Matthews, but Mike Sheen's here as well.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The budget's been blown right out of the water. I
just feel the commissioner wanderings Lee's been here a few times.
But to have Matthews and she and back on the couch.
Bit of advice for Jordi and Jack. Just sit back, boys,
just sit back and let them run tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
All right, Tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Zach Merritt is going to join us as a crisis
times at Essendon. The injury plague is just extraordinary. Jeremy Howe,
who's having a magnificent seas has got his own injury
set back, so we'll hear from him. Razabill be in
and then Wednesday night, our favorite due Adam Simpson, John Longman,
now Jonathan Brown. We left the kicker off there. He's
going to join us from Vegas.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Speaking of Vegas at one thirty in the morning too,
Piper Room in Vegas. That's a note that's down in
the LA Way, but there's plenty in Vegas that could
have Jonathan putting out a path that would suggest you
must watch that interview at one thirty win is that Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to that already, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Every Monday Night starts with your warding of the GVPS
the most valuable players from the previous round.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
In the estimation of just.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
One man, Gary Lyon, it is the most sought after
prize in for the Ford Mustang, valued at ninety three
thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Iconic design, unreal performance, five lid of V eight engine.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If you are going to get hot in winter, now
would be a good time reel off three games on
the way in exactly and when your way into the driver's.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Seat, it's still winnable from anywhere about the game in
camera Joe, he didn't make a mess of it when
he gave the votes while styles away, So Andrew Brayshaw
gets a one. I think it's his first votes for
the year. I love that game. When there's so much
on the line, that's where you judge players, and I
think the whole freemount of footy club stepped up. But
his leadership was outstanding l fourteen tackles. I think I
(04:01):
see here yep twenty nine possessions long being a fan
of Brayshaw and Soong who's been a little bit quieter
in recent weeks, but they both got back to it
against a very good opposition. So he gets his.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
First one additional valor for carrying out the postmash interview
whilst bleeding.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I didn't see the interview. I saw him singing the
song with an ice back on his holding the blood
tricking O good for his exactly right. Riley Thilthorpe, the
big failer. I don't know if these are his first day,
this is the second lot he's He's a love ethen
it was great to watch. I love this game as
well because we'll talk about it at the moment. Big
(04:38):
forwards against defenses that had needed to be tested and
one defense didn't stand up and one did. And on
the back of this blog, Maine kicking six goals straight.
That's the other thing I love about him. I said
this early in the year. They've got a really dangerous
forward line that kick goals, take the opportunities. So he's
a monster.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Our next gem key forwards have emerged this year, haven't yep.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You got Darcy philthlilp Cadman, Shaddon, Neil Georgia Ardi everywhere
brings a tediojer three couldn't find a key forward for
the three because Matthew Row was just irrepressible on Friday
Night in the biggest game. You know, it was the
build up, the biggest game for the Gold Coast Suns,
and you just kind of knew that it would be
Rol and Anderson and took Miller as well at the
(05:21):
start of the game until he got a hamstring. But
he was just extraordinary. He tackled his way, He tackled
him in the submission. In the end, Josh Deakos played
the last quarter that won't be matched, I don't think
for the season. But thirty two touches, thirteen tackle, Sadane
contest the twelve clearances, and he kicked two goals. He
kicked big goals. His first one was outside fifty. So
(05:42):
he's just a superstar act for that lead. So he's
a mover.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
He is.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
He's up to six.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You could easily see him making his charge in the
back portion of this season. Patrick Dangerfield continues to lead nine.
Toby Green, Jesse Hogan, Matt rowl on six and steel
side bottom and because he pick.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It there on five.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Let's get into the agenda and at the top of it.
North Melbourne rockmand Tristan Sherry has been banned for three
matches for a hit which knocked out Tom Sparrow cold
at the MCG yesterday. It has ramifications on a few fronts,
including the race to the All Australian Rackman, where in
some minds he had been the presumptive pick.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I haven't really had a good look at it and
I don't really want to make any coming on it
other than my first.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Concern was for Tom and his family, like it looked nasty.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Gee, that's so cold and that is not good news.
And you can see there's a bit of biff on
afterwards as well, and I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Like once I saw let's say, my dad, I knew
I had to sort.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Of respond, I'm old blade North Melbourne. When it's a
competitive game of footing and there's a lot of numbers
around the ball, sometimes accessus like that are going to happen.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So that's reckless. He's gonna he'll see some some time
for that. I don't think it was anything untoward for it,
but he's got it wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
We're all disappointed when any player gets gets injured, but
that's the that's the game, and there's there's always things
that happened like that that it's just unfold circumstances that
the result of aden bulls going with each other.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He was he was out before he hit the ground.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Cherry's going, he's gone over to apologize with the boys
been left.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The question was trailing arm or swinging arm? Was it
an accident or was it careless? It doesn't have to
be any more than careless, and in the estimation of
the m R Michael Christian, it met the bill. It
was clearly severe impact and it was obviously high of
the head not to play it out cold. So it
had some of the trappings of the conn of Nash
suspension from earlier in the year.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
How did you see it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
My flint action was accident. That was my first reaction.
That's I've seen all those angles before, but there was
one from behind that has me revisiting that. That's the
first time I've seen that angle from behind, which suggests
that he should have had a greater duty of care.
I think this one here so yeah, that looks So
(08:21):
that's the first time I've seen that one from behind.
That looks a lot worse. In slow motion, it looks terrible, Jared,
I argue the case with you on the Condon Nash run.
In slow motion, it looks like it. But when you
get knocked out, then you're in all sorts of trouble.
You're you're you think it was well worthy?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I think it's clearly careless, not callous. I think Colin
Nash was callous, but it only has to meet the
threshold of careless. Nash got four, so this fits neatly
into three.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay, yeah, well I can't really argue against it. I
think my first gut reaction was, ah, he didn't mean
that in any way, shape or form. I thought he's
having a swipe at the footy. I think the look
from behind, I'm a bit more to think. I was
thinking then one week. I know it's not going to
get to one week, but I'm in our own minds.
But now I can't really argue the case too much
(09:07):
about it. So unfortunate for a man who's that a
good year, that had a really good.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Year, So those hefty suspensions, this year that were shown.
This is the third one. North Melbourne have the challenge
the previous two. So Tom Sparrow's matters. So how he
goes through the concussion protocol then the spinoff and I
wonder if North Melbourne balances this up. Is Sherry's the
leading contender to be the All Australian ruckman, But there
is a chasing brigade. It has Gorne, It clearly has
(09:31):
Grundy who's charging home at the moment. Luke Jackson and
Darcy Cameron now Gorn, Grundy and Cameron haven't missed the game.
Jackson's missed three through injury. For the prestige that's on
off of there, it would be a bad time to
miss three games.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, well again, I don't want to make this the
have it. But Maxicran's not chasing anyone. They're chasing him.
He's still the number one ruckman. And I really think
Grundy is the one who's closest and Cameron's breathing down
his neck, and i'd have Sherry, who I really rate,
But I think sometimes we get a bit carried away
with the incumbent and the chasers. I don't think Tristan
(10:08):
Sherry is able to do what Max Gorn does. He
plays in a different manner, but Gorn for me is
still the one. But it's Grundy that's closing really hard.
And Catherin's had a fantastic year as well. And then
over in the West, I'll be pushing half for Jackson,
but that's come late and his time will come. I think,
where do you sit on it?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, I'm with Gorn and Grundy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So there are those who are prepared to lock Sherry
if he serves his three match bound you're gonna unlock him.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, That'll be a matter for the selectors, of course,
but they're still chasing the big The.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Other case that goes to the tribunal tomorrow night makes
no sense to me. So this is Adam Cherr, who'll
be the first test case under the crackdown on umpire contact.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
We referenced this at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There were nine players who were immediately in jeopardy on
the snap change in this rule, and Cherry was.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
One of them. And this is how it progresses.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It progresses through round eights two thousand and twenty four
twelve hundred and fifty dollars fine, then round twenty of
that year at eighteen hundred fine, and then up to
thirty one twenty five, and now up to an appearance
at the tribunal tomorrow night, which I can't fathom.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
This simply does not belong at the Tribunal.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And if I were the chairman halfway through tomorrow Night's gate,
I would stop proceedings and go, I don't understand what
you're asking this to do.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Here.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I assume he's going to work out whether he's going
to be suspended.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So Andrew Dillon has been our great pains to say
that this is not going to result in suspension.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
So I don't understand what it's going.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
To say, not going to or not necessarily well.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I think he was trying to calm the horses. In
the days after they made their announcement.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He was to Damien Hardwick, who went very strongly in
defensive row. I don't know whether we closed the door.
I think it doesn't necessarily lead to a suspension.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
There's no possibility that what happened on Thursday night should
result in a suspension. You can watch those for yourself
and you can make your own judgments, and I'll give
you the comparison piece in a moment. But I just
don't understand what there are asking the tribunal for.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And I guess we'll all learn.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But if they go and ask for a six thousand
dollar fine or an eight thousand dollar fine, well, Harley
Red has just been given a ten thousand dollars fine
for his sixth incident. Yeah, this is the fourth of
umpire contact.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Of which they're all.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're trying to avoid this to give the umpires their
space to get out.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I do understand that.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But how this, I just don't understand what they're asking
the tribunal to do.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Just give him an extra.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Well, I assumed it was. I assumed that suspension was
potentially still on the table, and that's what the tribunal
would determine, and they might come back and say, naken
F ten. There was a little umpire contact with ral
and Dekos on Friday night. But this is how hyper
sensitive you know, we are too at all And it
was the very very tiny low end of the scale.
So he's pushed. It's just the contact there. He acts
(12:48):
out of it. Now that hasn't been sighted. But there
was one that was involved, Toby Green that we showed
last week with Toby that the contact wasn't much more
than that that resulted in a fine. So the hypercentage
city of At the moment I look in my mind,
I thought that they're going to determine whether or not
he's going to be suspended, because all the talk was Okay,
if you do it again, you bugs, You've been told,
you've pointed out to you. If you do it again,
(13:09):
your face suspension. That's what I assume to know.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So we sort of were given a crackdown and then
told her. But by the way, we're not cracking down
on suspend I just can't I can't fathom what the
purpose of it is, and I guess we'll learn tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I can't fathom what the purpose is for finding
a man for an act that had he done it
on the first occasion, I would have suspended him for,
let alone the sixth that Jared, I'm sorry, and I've
defended Harley across the journey. That is a suspension every
day of the week. And if you condone this in
(13:41):
the manner of just giving him a fine, money's not
going to be a problem for Harley. Reed. That is
that there's the class playing cohort that are in the media.
Now we'll all agree on that that's the leg breakout.
That's a kick, Jared, I'm not going over since it
over dramatic. And as you know, I've been a defender
of Harley's as a young, impetuous, you know, bratt that
(14:02):
hasn't quite learned his way. But that is not that's
not a fine Jared. Let alone the sixth time he's
been fined this year. That is a suspension for Harley
reed every single day. And if you don't suspend that,
you leave the door open for lots of terrible incidents.
And that's failed the game.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That yeah, if we are searching for the dangerous true
failed every bit of all. Right, the results themselves, and
this set up as the most pivotal round of the season,
one that was going to shape aspirations and probably shake
out who the pretenders were as well. So the winning
had consequence and was glorious.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Not this time.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Fits perfectly to walk away winners tonight. That the whole
ho Yeah, it's big.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
This could be the year for the Gold Coast Signs.
This is a huge win that sets them up for
a run to play.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
In September, we played an outstanding rand of footy. So
you know, I'm sitting there hoping that the City of
Gold Coast jump on and look at this side and think,
christ I want to be a part of this. You know,
we're starting to build something I think that is is unique,
but also it could be quite special.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, big win, big win for efrety Cup.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The story today has made the Adelaide Cross and the
statement they have made and not just a statement, a
powerful one at that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
We knew the challenge coming in it was going to
be a big one. It wouldn't be perfect, raiming for perfect,
but we weren't. But to get a win.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And the Giants slain a giant today.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Device the Cat.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We want to celebrate the game in the right way
for him, but we also knew it was an incredibly
important game against the Cats to continue to try and
climb up that ladder.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
My huge performance by the docks. I responded in the
final quarter from thirteen.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Points down to win it by thirteen points.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Quite a big seven nights.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Plays so much for the finals.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Push Paly a sign of the motto we've lived by
over the last eight weeks of just living in the
moment and making sure we've win each day and try
to prepare our bess. Don't book the Bahamas just yet.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Prematl are into the.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Ak method and process.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sometimes what matters is the four points. And this was
a weekend for that. So what did it do on
the snakes and ladders? Certainly for Fremantle that enhanced their
reputation but also their position in things. The big losers
are the Bulldogs who slide their way out Gold Coast climb,
the Giants climb Fremantle climb. And I was on the
plane thinking about ninth. Whoever ends up there is going
(16:54):
to be bitterly, bitterly disappointed, because have a quick thing.
If it was the Dogs, what a blown's season. If
it was Freemantle who cost the coach's job. If it
was the Giants, they can beat all the key players.
If it was Hawthorne, that would be regression. If it
was Golf Coast from here it would be unthinkable. And
then if I doubt any of that, well, Geelong could
fall out and that would be bitter, bitter, bitter disappointment.
(17:19):
So the halves against the has I keep holding to
the Bulldogs and I'm wrong. One and seven is the
same record against top nine teams as Carlton and Richmond.
There are four teams Melbourne, sin Kilda, Sydney and Port.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Who have better records against them.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Freemantle have a sneaky good record here at five and two.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
But that's the contenders versus the contendent.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah, at this stage of the year around eighteen, you
are what you are, right, there's no early in the
season when we're sitting here where sort of casting forward,
Well maybe that that doesn't lie. So that's where they
are and they have to live with it, and there's
no getting around that.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
This was the story of the Crows and the Bulldogs.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
And the game going in. You think both sides are
loaded in the front half and both heavily scoring one
and two I think for scoring and the back half.
Some vulnerabilities lies in both and the Western Bulldogs back
half just didn't get it done and Adelaide's did and
I couldn't help. But thinking Mark Kean has evolved into
Liam Jones and they haven't got Liam Jones. So Liam
(18:21):
Jones is no longer Liam Jones, if you know what
I mean. Mark kin has been an unbelievable story, so
he goes today. He just had to cover everyone because
they lost butts and everything else. And at the other
end of the ground they're screaming out for Liam Jones
to be the Liam Jones he was three or four
years ago, but he's not. And that's the gaping hole
that had Silthorpe kick six know everything from a Western Bullogs.
(18:42):
Whatever they lost by two goals, it's not the end
of the world. It's not a disaster. But the back
six for the Adelaide Crows matched what they're doing in
the midfield and up forward. They're serious footage side Adelaide Crows,
so that they're going to be a really good watch.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So the predicament for the Bulldogs is it solvable? They
So they're not in premiership contention now, they're not in
the eighth. Can they get there in a concentrated.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Diverse So the our premiership window that the boys next
door that we've had doesn't lie either. So twenty out
of twenty or nineteen out of nine eeen, you must
be top six for defense. They're nowhere near it, Jared,
So they're not contending on that basis, which puts Luke
Beverage right in the position where he's at his absolute
best when people tell him you can't when people say
your side can't. So they go up the Brisbane with
(19:28):
the backs to the wall. Luke Beverage, which is when
he's at he's absolute dangerous, which they're going to be
a great watch too for the rest of this year.
I reckon because he knows exactly he knows the problem.
How do you fix it? Get the word?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The story from Gold Coast was really clear and that
it couldn't go far enough. Most significant win in the
club's history puts the down payment on where they've never
been before. And it crystallized for you in the very
moments that it was unfolding.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, it did, and it came to the end, like
they gave up five goals in a row. Eliot kicks
the wind, it puts them three points ahead, and we
know Collingwood like in that situation, they've been so brave
and you just your mind goes, Ah, there was an
inevitability about this, but they refuse to concede it. And
it was the captain. It was Noah Anderson've already spoken
about Row who's unbelievable. And the ball goes back into
(20:14):
the middle of the ground where the ball has to
be won so this is they've been headed for the
first time Jared. This is Anderson. He gets the death
touched then good enough to win the footy back and
this leads to the goal that puts them back in front.
So if you don't get the reply straight away against
this Collingwood side, you just don't get the result you
want because they're too good. So it's Noah Anderson. He says, well,
(20:38):
let me go in. Here's the free kicked along, ball
comes back in. This is the very next center bouts.
So they've got the three point lead back, but the
doubts still there. What happens next captain gets involved again,
gets the ball back and at this point secures victory.
And in my little mind sets, that's the all Australian
captain right there.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
First year in the job, first.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Year in the job, I'm pumping Noah Anderson as the
Australian captain. And you know there's this I won't swear,
there's this bulldas mental that you've got to be in
the job. But you've got to Tea and Jordan Dawson
there the two. Jordan Dawson's a superstar, so he feed's
the captain. I'm not blowing about that. But now Anderson,
to me has been enormous and he's form not only
(21:19):
from a leadership point of view, his former standing up
week in and week out. So there's your development. Pregame
it was can they match him in the middle? Can
it be Anderson and raw and Miller. Well, it was
all of that, and Humphrey was the other one that
got involved. So great, we're going to get a new
face in.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And the demeanor of Damian Hardwick, so he knows the
moments that represents us breakthrough and the fresh threshold, Lift
the horizon.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
This was the lift the Horizon night.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Not sure who the cameraman was, but he gets votes.
He gets GVP camera votes for that, because you can
you can keep it on the song. We've all seen
the song. There's the proud Father sitting out there just
looking down garden. Yep, that's exactly what did we wanted
to get out of Friday Night. We didn't just the victory.
The forty points that we got to was beautiful as well,
but we got headed and then we dug deep and
(22:07):
our leader took us to the promised land.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Freemantles spent the week under the microscope, having lost the
place in the eight, so whoever's ninth is going to
live this week and then it's how you're going to respond,
and they tackled their way through.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, there's a bit of this coming out. I thought
Brisbane on Thursday night just smashed Carlton. From a tackling
point of view, I've still got cam Ray and as
Crunge and blokes left, right and center. And then this
game one hundred and three tackles they laid Brayshaw captain.
Just it was when you go back and watch it,
the pressure moments arise and then you go sometimes your
(22:41):
mind just goes to places Jared and you see yah
Hawthorne get out and you go, oh yeah, they're outy
against this freemantal team. In the past they weren't able
to stop them or layer tackle, but not on Friday night,
and they spoke volumes as well. Long you're under some
pressure from external, Look are these efforts here one and
then you think they're out, No they're not. You think
they're no, they're not, and then they're back and gone again.
(23:02):
So I thought that was really signify Embrace, who had
fourteen Johnson a year out eight got to work in
the Jackson D's half a dozen. I thought it was
a massive part of what they did on Friday night.
And this time of the year there's a bit of
a mentality around just tackle your way through this and
everything's not going beautifully. Workload training, lads, all that sort
of stuff. Let's tackle our way through it. First thing
the Western Boodogs players said on Saturday, you know what
(23:24):
went wrong to me? Bracken tackles. It was the first
thing they said that comes to the coach. They tackled
their way through.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That mid July. Mid July, and then the Giants against
the Cats. So the Giants have got this sneaky good record.
Not sneaky good record is you had your last dollar
on the minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I tell you what. They've got Geelong's measure four in
a row. So they've beaten Geelong, They've beaten the Suns
and they've beaten the Lions in the last four weeks.
So we'll talk to Adam Kingston at a moment. So
I'll save most of that for them, but that that
is a great form line coming in, and that form
line against top nine sides that we or early would
hold them in pretty goodstead and they've got players that
(24:03):
are playing good footy, they've managed their playing group really well,
and they got they've got Taylor to come back into
that side.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There's along side of things that now I've got this
curious poor record against both the Lions and the Giants,
which is unusual for Chris Scott coached team.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Actually, Chris and his press conference which we love, I
love listening to anyway, he said, oh, you know, Hogan
got us last time. That doesn't happen now. Players don't
kick big bags against us too often, and then Cammin
comes out and kicks it. So they've they've worked it
out pretty well, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So that's Those are the key four games from a
pivotal weekend of footing in One of the coaches is
going to join us then, so Andrew McWalter and Adam Kingsley.
The Giants coach has his team surging with the good
form line building. And Andrew mcwulter, it's hard yards for
the Eagles who got perilously close yesterday
Heavy suspension for Tristan Sherry, the leading contender to the
All Australian Ruckman.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hit with a three match band.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
What did we learn from the season's most pivotal round
as fortunes rise and fall in the run to the
finals and the.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Jack Graham controversy as it played out behind the scenes,
the Eagles and Giants coaches join us.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
We've talked about is this step into it, embrace all
of it, get in the room and reason.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's unedifying for a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
They're on the side of cautia with the brain, take
the man on it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
start of the season, and in said president left the
couple older said.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Of course they do. Is the stuff that legends are
made of. What is holding the ball?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't think I could answer it clearly right now
that I could do.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Something wrong, you know, And I need to go and
the board sexually.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The fans lover and with no fans, no through sixty
year old.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
All the angles of out of eighteen head of a.
It's nice to see you open up.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Then nice to have you back. Jared in just a
still little sabbatical over to the States and a.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Dance dad for a week bit a viper room action.
We didn't. We have it in Vegas for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
The dance dads are a resourceful lot. They found the
AFL on US TV, Fox Sports too.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
The dance dad's viper room just started.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Quite mesh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lovely to have your back. I know he had a
good break.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Some games though, shouldn't be seen at home, let alone
abroad single handedly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
If you could have pulled off Richmond and Essen and
off all airwaves over in America, if we had any
ambition to take the game to the States, that would
have killed it dead in the water, Jared. It was
one of those nights, Saturday night. But there was plenty
good for you to talk. Just keep your sense of
humor about you. The words of Kerry pack One. He
got a couple of bits of indirect advice for the
great man. That was, don't you ever talk down again?
(01:55):
That I've paid millions for so I continue to try,
and I was the last my weekends selling it hard.
But in the end I did. There's a passenger player.
I just said that. Sorryky, that's it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Here's what we've got lined up for tonight on Coach
to Night. Adam Kingsley and Andrew mccaltera are going to
join us. All that's happened in the round and the aftermath,
and what a couch this is tonight, What a special edition.
Not only Leigh Matthews, but Mike Sheen's here as well.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The budget's been blown right out of the water. I
just feel the commissioner wanderings Lee's been here a few times.
But to have Matthews and she and back on the couch.
Bit of advice for Jordi and Jack. Just sit back, boys,
just sit back and let them run tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
All right, Tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Zach Merritt is going to join us as a crisis
times at Essendon. The injury plague is just extraordinary. Jeremy Howe,
who's having a magnificent seas has got his own injury
set back, so we'll hear from him. Razabill be in
and then Wednesday night, our favorite due Adam Simpson, John Longman,
now Jonathan Brown. We left the kicker off there. He's
going to join us from Vegas.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Speaking of Vegas at one thirty in the morning too,
Piper Room in Vegas. That's a note that's down in
the LA Way, but there's plenty in Vegas that could
have Jonathan putting out a path that would suggest you
must watch that interview at one thirty win is that Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to that already, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Every Monday Night starts with your warding of the GVPS
the most valuable players from the previous round.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
In the estimation of just.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
One man, Gary Lyon, it is the most sought after
prize in for the Ford Mustang, valued at ninety three
thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Iconic design, unreal performance, five lid of V eight engine.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If you are going to get hot in winter, now
would be a good time reel off three games on
the way in exactly and when your way into the driver's.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Seat, it's still winnable from anywhere about the game in
camera Joe, he didn't make a mess of it when
he gave the votes while styles away, So Andrew Brayshaw
gets a one. I think it's his first votes for
the year. I love that game. When there's so much
on the line, that's where you judge players, and I
think the whole freemount of footy club stepped up. But
his leadership was outstanding l fourteen tackles. I think I
(04:01):
see here yep twenty nine possessions long being a fan
of Brayshaw and Soong who's been a little bit quieter
in recent weeks, but they both got back to it
against a very good opposition. So he gets his.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
First one additional valor for carrying out the postmash interview
whilst bleeding.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I didn't see the interview. I saw him singing the
song with an ice back on his holding the blood
tricking O good for his exactly right. Riley Thilthorpe, the
big failer. I don't know if these are his first day,
this is the second lot he's He's a love ethen
it was great to watch. I love this game as
well because we'll talk about it at the moment. Big
(04:38):
forwards against defenses that had needed to be tested and
one defense didn't stand up and one did. And on
the back of this blog, Maine kicking six goals straight.
That's the other thing I love about him. I said
this early in the year. They've got a really dangerous
forward line that kick goals, take the opportunities. So he's
a monster.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Our next gem key forwards have emerged this year, haven't yep.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You got Darcy philthlilp Cadman, Shaddon, Neil Georgia Ardi everywhere
brings a tediojer three couldn't find a key forward for
the three because Matthew Row was just irrepressible on Friday
Night in the biggest game. You know, it was the
build up, the biggest game for the Gold Coast Suns,
and you just kind of knew that it would be
Rol and Anderson and took Miller as well at the
(05:21):
start of the game until he got a hamstring. But
he was just extraordinary. He tackled his way, He tackled
him in the submission. In the end, Josh Deakos played
the last quarter that won't be matched, I don't think
for the season. But thirty two touches, thirteen tackle, Sadane
contest the twelve clearances, and he kicked two goals. He
kicked big goals. His first one was outside fifty. So
(05:42):
he's just a superstar act for that lead. So he's
a mover.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
He is.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
He's up to six.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You could easily see him making his charge in the
back portion of this season. Patrick Dangerfield continues to lead nine.
Toby Green, Jesse Hogan, Matt rowl on six and steel
side bottom and because he pick.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It there on five.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Let's get into the agenda and at the top of it.
North Melbourne rockmand Tristan Sherry has been banned for three
matches for a hit which knocked out Tom Sparrow cold
at the MCG yesterday. It has ramifications on a few fronts,
including the race to the All Australian Rackman, where in
some minds he had been the presumptive pick.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I haven't really had a good look at it and
I don't really want to make any coming on it
other than my first.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Concern was for Tom and his family, like it looked nasty.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Gee, that's so cold and that is not good news.
And you can see there's a bit of biff on
afterwards as well, and I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Like once I saw let's say, my dad, I knew
I had to sort.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Of respond, I'm old blade North Melbourne. When it's a
competitive game of footing and there's a lot of numbers
around the ball, sometimes accessus like that are going to happen.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So that's reckless. He's gonna he'll see some some time
for that. I don't think it was anything untoward for it,
but he's got it wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
We're all disappointed when any player gets gets injured, but
that's the that's the game, and there's there's always things
that happened like that that it's just unfold circumstances that
the result of aden bulls going with each other.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He was he was out before he hit the ground.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Cherry's going, he's gone over to apologize with the boys
been left.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The question was trailing arm or swinging arm? Was it
an accident or was it careless? It doesn't have to
be any more than careless, and in the estimation of
the m R Michael Christian, it met the bill. It
was clearly severe impact and it was obviously high of
the head not to play it out cold. So it
had some of the trappings of the conn of Nash
suspension from earlier in the year.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
How did you see it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
My flint action was accident. That was my first reaction.
That's I've seen all those angles before, but there was
one from behind that has me revisiting that. That's the
first time I've seen that angle from behind, which suggests
that he should have had a greater duty of care.
I think this one here so yeah, that looks So
(08:21):
that's the first time I've seen that one from behind.
That looks a lot worse. In slow motion, it looks terrible, Jared,
I argue the case with you on the Condon Nash run.
In slow motion, it looks like it. But when you
get knocked out, then you're in all sorts of trouble.
You're you're you think it was well worthy?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I think it's clearly careless, not callous. I think Colin
Nash was callous, but it only has to meet the
threshold of careless. Nash got four, so this fits neatly
into three.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay, yeah, well I can't really argue against it. I
think my first gut reaction was, ah, he didn't mean
that in any way, shape or form. I thought he's
having a swipe at the footy. I think the look
from behind, I'm a bit more to think. I was
thinking then one week. I know it's not going to
get to one week, but I'm in our own minds.
But now I can't really argue the case too much
(09:07):
about it. So unfortunate for a man who's that a
good year, that had a really good.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Year, So those hefty suspensions, this year that were shown.
This is the third one. North Melbourne have the challenge
the previous two. So Tom Sparrow's matters. So how he
goes through the concussion protocol then the spinoff and I
wonder if North Melbourne balances this up. Is Sherry's the
leading contender to be the All Australian ruckman, But there
is a chasing brigade. It has Gorne, It clearly has
(09:31):
Grundy who's charging home at the moment. Luke Jackson and
Darcy Cameron now Gorn, Grundy and Cameron haven't missed the game.
Jackson's missed three through injury. For the prestige that's on
off of there, it would be a bad time to
miss three games.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, well again, I don't want to make this the
have it. But Maxicran's not chasing anyone. They're chasing him.
He's still the number one ruckman. And I really think
Grundy is the one who's closest and Cameron's breathing down
his neck, and i'd have Sherry, who I really rate,
But I think sometimes we get a bit carried away
with the incumbent and the chasers. I don't think Tristan
(10:08):
Sherry is able to do what Max Gorn does. He
plays in a different manner, but Gorn for me is
still the one. But it's Grundy that's closing really hard.
And Catherin's had a fantastic year as well. And then
over in the West, I'll be pushing half for Jackson,
but that's come late and his time will come. I think,
where do you sit on it?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, I'm with Gorn and Grundy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So there are those who are prepared to lock Sherry
if he serves his three match bound you're gonna unlock him.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, That'll be a matter for the selectors, of course,
but they're still chasing the big The.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Other case that goes to the tribunal tomorrow night makes
no sense to me. So this is Adam Cherr, who'll
be the first test case under the crackdown on umpire contact.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
We referenced this at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There were nine players who were immediately in jeopardy on
the snap change in this rule, and Cherry was.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
One of them. And this is how it progresses.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It progresses through round eights two thousand and twenty four
twelve hundred and fifty dollars fine, then round twenty of
that year at eighteen hundred fine, and then up to
thirty one twenty five, and now up to an appearance
at the tribunal tomorrow night, which I can't fathom.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
This simply does not belong at the Tribunal.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And if I were the chairman halfway through tomorrow Night's gate,
I would stop proceedings and go, I don't understand what
you're asking this to do.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Here.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I assume he's going to work out whether he's going
to be suspended.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So Andrew Dillon has been our great pains to say
that this is not going to result in suspension.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
So I don't understand what it's going.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
To say, not going to or not necessarily well.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I think he was trying to calm the horses. In
the days after they made their announcement.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He was to Damien Hardwick, who went very strongly in
defensive row. I don't know whether we closed the door.
I think it doesn't necessarily lead to a suspension.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
There's no possibility that what happened on Thursday night should
result in a suspension. You can watch those for yourself
and you can make your own judgments, and I'll give
you the comparison piece in a moment. But I just
don't understand what there are asking the tribunal for.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And I guess we'll all learn.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But if they go and ask for a six thousand
dollar fine or an eight thousand dollar fine, well, Harley
Red has just been given a ten thousand dollars fine
for his sixth incident. Yeah, this is the fourth of
umpire contact.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Of which they're all.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're trying to avoid this to give the umpires their
space to get out.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I do understand that.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But how this, I just don't understand what they're asking
the tribunal to do.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Just give him an extra.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Well, I assumed it was. I assumed that suspension was
potentially still on the table, and that's what the tribunal
would determine, and they might come back and say, naken
F ten. There was a little umpire contact with ral
and Dekos on Friday night. But this is how hyper
sensitive you know, we are too at all And it
was the very very tiny low end of the scale.
So he's pushed. It's just the contact there. He acts
(12:48):
out of it. Now that hasn't been sighted. But there
was one that was involved, Toby Green that we showed
last week with Toby that the contact wasn't much more
than that that resulted in a fine. So the hypercentage
city of At the moment I look in my mind,
I thought that they're going to determine whether or not
he's going to be suspended, because all the talk was Okay,
if you do it again, you bugs, You've been told,
you've pointed out to you. If you do it again,
(13:09):
your face suspension. That's what I assume to know.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So we sort of were given a crackdown and then
told her. But by the way, we're not cracking down
on suspend I just can't I can't fathom what the
purpose of it is, and I guess we'll learn tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I can't fathom what the purpose is for finding
a man for an act that had he done it
on the first occasion, I would have suspended him for,
let alone the sixth that Jared, I'm sorry, and I've
defended Harley across the journey. That is a suspension every
day of the week. And if you condone this in
(13:41):
the manner of just giving him a fine, money's not
going to be a problem for Harley. Reed. That is
that there's the class playing cohort that are in the media.
Now we'll all agree on that that's the leg breakout.
That's a kick, Jared, I'm not going over since it
over dramatic. And as you know, I've been a defender
of Harley's as a young, impetuous, you know, bratt that
(14:02):
hasn't quite learned his way. But that is not that's
not a fine Jared. Let alone the sixth time he's
been fined this year. That is a suspension for Harley
reed every single day. And if you don't suspend that,
you leave the door open for lots of terrible incidents.
And that's failed the game.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That yeah, if we are searching for the dangerous true
failed every bit of all. Right, the results themselves, and
this set up as the most pivotal round of the season,
one that was going to shape aspirations and probably shake
out who the pretenders were as well. So the winning
had consequence and was glorious.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Not this time.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Fits perfectly to walk away winners tonight. That the whole
ho Yeah, it's big.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
This could be the year for the Gold Coast Signs.
This is a huge win that sets them up for
a run to play.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
In September, we played an outstanding rand of footy. So
you know, I'm sitting there hoping that the City of
Gold Coast jump on and look at this side and think,
christ I want to be a part of this. You know,
we're starting to build something I think that is is unique,
but also it could be quite special.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, big win, big win for efrety Cup.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The story today has made the Adelaide Cross and the
statement they have made and not just a statement, a
powerful one at that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
We knew the challenge coming in it was going to
be a big one. It wouldn't be perfect, raiming for perfect,
but we weren't. But to get a win.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And the Giants slain a giant today.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Device the Cat.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We want to celebrate the game in the right way
for him, but we also knew it was an incredibly
important game against the Cats to continue to try and
climb up that ladder.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
My huge performance by the docks. I responded in the
final quarter from thirteen.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Points down to win it by thirteen points.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Quite a big seven nights.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Plays so much for the finals.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Push Paly a sign of the motto we've lived by
over the last eight weeks of just living in the
moment and making sure we've win each day and try
to prepare our bess. Don't book the Bahamas just yet.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Prematl are into the.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Ak method and process.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sometimes what matters is the four points. And this was
a weekend for that. So what did it do on
the snakes and ladders? Certainly for Fremantle that enhanced their
reputation but also their position in things. The big losers
are the Bulldogs who slide their way out Gold Coast climb,
the Giants climb Fremantle climb. And I was on the
plane thinking about ninth. Whoever ends up there is going
(16:54):
to be bitterly, bitterly disappointed, because have a quick thing.
If it was the Dogs, what a blown's season. If
it was Freemantle who cost the coach's job. If it
was the Giants, they can beat all the key players.
If it was Hawthorne, that would be regression. If it
was Golf Coast from here it would be unthinkable. And
then if I doubt any of that, well, Geelong could
fall out and that would be bitter, bitter, bitter disappointment.
(17:19):
So the halves against the has I keep holding to
the Bulldogs and I'm wrong. One and seven is the
same record against top nine teams as Carlton and Richmond.
There are four teams Melbourne, sin Kilda, Sydney and Port.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Who have better records against them.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Freemantle have a sneaky good record here at five and two.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
But that's the contenders versus the contendent.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah, at this stage of the year around eighteen, you
are what you are, right, there's no early in the
season when we're sitting here where sort of casting forward,
Well maybe that that doesn't lie. So that's where they
are and they have to live with it, and there's
no getting around that.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
This was the story of the Crows and the Bulldogs.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
And the game going in. You think both sides are
loaded in the front half and both heavily scoring one
and two I think for scoring and the back half.
Some vulnerabilities lies in both and the Western Bulldogs back
half just didn't get it done and Adelaide's did and
I couldn't help. But thinking Mark Kean has evolved into
Liam Jones and they haven't got Liam Jones. So Liam
(18:21):
Jones is no longer Liam Jones, if you know what
I mean. Mark kin has been an unbelievable story, so
he goes today. He just had to cover everyone because
they lost butts and everything else. And at the other
end of the ground they're screaming out for Liam Jones
to be the Liam Jones he was three or four
years ago, but he's not. And that's the gaping hole
that had Silthorpe kick six know everything from a Western Bullogs.
(18:42):
Whatever they lost by two goals, it's not the end
of the world. It's not a disaster. But the back
six for the Adelaide Crows matched what they're doing in
the midfield and up forward. They're serious footage side Adelaide Crows,
so that they're going to be a really good watch.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So the predicament for the Bulldogs is it solvable? They
So they're not in premiership contention now, they're not in
the eighth. Can they get there in a concentrated.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Diverse So the our premiership window that the boys next
door that we've had doesn't lie either. So twenty out
of twenty or nineteen out of nine eeen, you must
be top six for defense. They're nowhere near it, Jared,
So they're not contending on that basis, which puts Luke
Beverage right in the position where he's at his absolute
best when people tell him you can't when people say
your side can't. So they go up the Brisbane with
(19:28):
the backs to the wall. Luke Beverage, which is when
he's at he's absolute dangerous, which they're going to be
a great watch too for the rest of this year.
I reckon because he knows exactly he knows the problem.
How do you fix it? Get the word?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The story from Gold Coast was really clear and that
it couldn't go far enough. Most significant win in the
club's history puts the down payment on where they've never
been before. And it crystallized for you in the very
moments that it was unfolding.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, it did, and it came to the end, like
they gave up five goals in a row. Eliot kicks
the wind, it puts them three points ahead, and we
know Collingwood like in that situation, they've been so brave
and you just your mind goes, Ah, there was an
inevitability about this, but they refuse to concede it. And
it was the captain. It was Noah Anderson've already spoken
about Row who's unbelievable. And the ball goes back into
(20:14):
the middle of the ground where the ball has to
be won so this is they've been headed for the
first time Jared. This is Anderson. He gets the death
touched then good enough to win the footy back and
this leads to the goal that puts them back in front.
So if you don't get the reply straight away against
this Collingwood side, you just don't get the result you
want because they're too good. So it's Noah Anderson. He says, well,
(20:38):
let me go in. Here's the free kicked along, ball
comes back in. This is the very next center bouts.
So they've got the three point lead back, but the
doubts still there. What happens next captain gets involved again,
gets the ball back and at this point secures victory.
And in my little mind sets, that's the all Australian
captain right there.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
First year in the job, first.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Year in the job, I'm pumping Noah Anderson as the
Australian captain. And you know there's this I won't swear,
there's this bulldas mental that you've got to be in
the job. But you've got to Tea and Jordan Dawson
there the two. Jordan Dawson's a superstar, so he feed's
the captain. I'm not blowing about that. But now Anderson,
to me has been enormous and he's form not only
(21:19):
from a leadership point of view, his former standing up
week in and week out. So there's your development. Pregame
it was can they match him in the middle? Can
it be Anderson and raw and Miller. Well, it was
all of that, and Humphrey was the other one that
got involved. So great, we're going to get a new
face in.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And the demeanor of Damian Hardwick, so he knows the
moments that represents us breakthrough and the fresh threshold, Lift
the horizon.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
This was the lift the Horizon night.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Not sure who the cameraman was, but he gets votes.
He gets GVP camera votes for that, because you can
you can keep it on the song. We've all seen
the song. There's the proud Father sitting out there just
looking down garden. Yep, that's exactly what did we wanted
to get out of Friday Night. We didn't just the victory.
The forty points that we got to was beautiful as well,
but we got headed and then we dug deep and
(22:07):
our leader took us to the promised land.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Freemantles spent the week under the microscope, having lost the
place in the eight, so whoever's ninth is going to
live this week and then it's how you're going to respond,
and they tackled their way through.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, there's a bit of this coming out. I thought
Brisbane on Thursday night just smashed Carlton. From a tackling
point of view, I've still got cam Ray and as
Crunge and blokes left, right and center. And then this
game one hundred and three tackles they laid Brayshaw captain.
Just it was when you go back and watch it,
the pressure moments arise and then you go sometimes your
(22:41):
mind just goes to places Jared and you see yah
Hawthorne get out and you go, oh yeah, they're outy
against this freemantal team. In the past they weren't able
to stop them or layer tackle, but not on Friday night,
and they spoke volumes as well. Long you're under some
pressure from external, Look are these efforts here one and
then you think they're out, No they're not. You think
they're no, they're not, and then they're back and gone again.
(23:02):
So I thought that was really signify Embrace, who had
fourteen Johnson a year out eight got to work in
the Jackson D's half a dozen. I thought it was
a massive part of what they did on Friday night.
And this time of the year there's a bit of
a mentality around just tackle your way through this and
everything's not going beautifully. Workload training, lads, all that sort
of stuff. Let's tackle our way through it. First thing
the Western Boodogs players said on Saturday, you know what
(23:24):
went wrong to me? Bracken tackles. It was the first
thing they said that comes to the coach. They tackled
their way through.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That mid July. Mid July, and then the Giants against
the Cats. So the Giants have got this sneaky good record.
Not sneaky good record is you had your last dollar
on the minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I tell you what. They've got Geelong's measure four in
a row. So they've beaten Geelong, They've beaten the Suns
and they've beaten the Lions in the last four weeks.
So we'll talk to Adam Kingston at a moment. So
I'll save most of that for them, but that that
is a great form line coming in, and that form
line against top nine sides that we or early would
hold them in pretty goodstead and they've got players that
(24:03):
are playing good footy, they've managed their playing group really well,
and they got they've got Taylor to come back into
that side.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There's along side of things that now I've got this
curious poor record against both the Lions and the Giants,
which is unusual for Chris Scott coached team.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Actually, Chris and his press conference which we love, I
love listening to anyway, he said, oh, you know, Hogan
got us last time. That doesn't happen now. Players don't
kick big bags against us too often, and then Cammin
comes out and kicks it. So they've they've worked it
out pretty well, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So that's Those are the key four games from a
pivotal weekend of footing in One of the coaches is
going to join us then, so Andrew McWalter and Adam Kingsley.
The Giants coach has his team surging with the good
form line building. And Andrew mcwulter, it's hard yards for
the Eagles who got perilously close yesterday
