The next one in the news is Brandon Maynard was involved in a car crash. So that was obviously not good at all. But he is okay, and everyone involved is okay. He's still expected to play that day. Now, I feel like we don't like Braiden Maynard, but of course we don't want it to be in course crash because there was a few comments on AFL pages that were just laying into him, so they turned off the comments. Just no matter who you are, he's just a player on another team. You don't need to do that. So glad that he's okay. I'm surprised he's playing here because apparently it was a very full on car crash. H jeez.

They would love that talking about their boy Carlton. So you've got the great Camper rally, They've got the Camparelly Twins. Now the first Twins to make his debut is Lucas Campberrelly. Very exciting for Culter fans.

They would love that talking about their boy Carlton. So you've got the great Camper rally, They've got the Camparelly Twins. Now the first Twins to make his debut is Lucas Campberrelly. Very exciting for Culter fans.

Just absolutely, it's impressive in the midfield. It's going to be great to see, you know, how he works with the likes of Crips and Walsh and just how that dynamic plays out. It's going to be a big game. Yeah, a lot of uys and I think these four players are going to be the story.

Just absolutely, it's impressive in the midfield. It's going to be great to see, you know, how he works with the likes of Crips and Walsh and just how that dynamic plays out. It's going to be a big game. Yeah, a lot of uys and I think these four players are going to be the story.

Yeah, absolutely, What do you reckon?

See how he goes.

I'm not too sure about him, Like I'll be honest, I don't know too much about him, but if you can just feel a role, He's got the stars around him.

I'm not too sure about him, Like I'll be honest, I don't know too much about him, but if you can just feel a role, He's got the stars around him.

He could sort of feed off their energy a little bit and hopefully kick a goal. We'll see. Yeah. And then the last debutante, well sort of in the Carlton outfit is Nick Haynes. I don't know how it is. I can't believe he's still but he's been a solid player at the Blue, sorry, at the GWS, and I think he can do a job at the Blues.

What do you guys think all over two hundred games of experience, that's gonna.

What do you guys think all over two hundred games of experience, that's gonna.

You know, Holdsten? Yeah, I don't know.

You know, Holdsten? Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like Carton is still missing that sort of second key defender and he's like a third almost.

I feel like Carton is still missing that sort of second key defender and he's like a third almost.

I don't know.

I don't know.

We'll see how he goes. I think I think he'll do all right. But yeah, I just I still think Carton's back line is a bit susceptible.

We'll see how he goes. I think I think he'll do all right. But yeah, I just I still think Carton's back line is a bit susceptible.

He's got great hair too. If I don't know if he's still got the top not, I haven't seen him around as much.

He's got great hair too. If I don't know if he's still got the top not, I haven't seen him around as much.

He's still got the big, the flowing hair, I think, so, Yeah, I just I don't Reckon can't have many blondes on their team, the opposite to Geelong.

He's still got the big, the flowing hair, I think, so, Yeah, I just I don't Reckon can't have many blondes on their team, the opposite to Geelong.

Yeah, well, guys, I was actually speaking to t DK a couple of weeks ago, Yes, you were, so, you know, we spoke about Lucas. He said, these guys they're training like as good as you can imagine for the first year players, and he was hoping that one of the camp early boys would be coming in early.

So you know, he got his wish.

So you know, he got his wish.

But I think Carlson fans like, what's the pass mark for the Blues because they're going to be expected to win obviously, like over what Richmond's been to.

But I think Carlson fans like, what's the pass mark for the Blues because they're going to be expected to win obviously, like over what Richmond's been to.

Smash him, they have to smash them. But I think we just talked about on our Wednesday show Midweek Madness, that I don't think they have that in them for the first game of the season. They often are very close games. Last year was five points, so but yeah, what do you think that what's the past?

Man?

Man?

They have to smash them?

They have to smash them?

Well, yeah, I mean considering the preseason they've had with all the injuries, Like that's why I was kind of putting it to you guys, like is it is it a twenty point when is it just getting the job done just for round one?

Well, yeah, I mean considering the preseason they've had with all the injuries, Like that's why I was kind of putting it to you guys, like is it is it a twenty point when is it just getting the job done just for round one?

Just to kind of like, I think it's forty plus. I think it's sixty plus sixty.

Just to kind of like, I think it's forty plus. I think it's sixty plus sixty.

I still think with their injuries, they've got a lot of talent. Then Richmond, everyone's expecting them to have a very very down season. So I just feel like if they want to be top six, top four and Richmond a projected bottom two, they have to make a statement.

I still think with their injuries, they've got a lot of talent. Then Richmond, everyone's expecting them to have a very very down season. So I just feel like if they want to be top six, top four and Richmond a projected bottom two, they have to make a statement.

Sixty plus they got to. Yeah, do I think they will? No, No, but they they go to prove that they're up in that top tier. So I agree with that one. Touching on more debutantes, We've got North. We've got a lot of debutantes for North, but first game of Fino Sullivan foss is what the people are calling him down at. Just leave this under you guys. Yeah, we've got the North fancy and Jess, you're excited for I'm excited.

We're wrapping our North Blue Yes, the both.

Of us.

Of us.

Pino Sullivan number two picks, so we've got number one and two picks on display this weekend, which is so exciting. But against the Dogs, I'm really excited to see how Finn works with Again, similar to what I said before about Lucas, but like, how does Finn fit in with the likes of Simpkin Ldu and you know it's gonna be good to watch.

Yeah, it's a good midfield. Like you can say what you want about North not the best forward line, not the best back line. The midfield can win you some games.

Yeah, it's a good midfield. Like you can say what you want about North not the best forward line, not the best back line. The midfield can win you some games.

It is a couple of games don't come for our forward line. We've got Jack Darling now not so class, he's kicking sixty plus this year. At least.

It is a couple of games don't come for our forward line. We've got Jack Darling now not so class, he's kicking sixty plus this year. At least.

Harveyis you know, is perked up absolutely. And then we've got some of the more experienced ones coming in that are you touched on Jack Darling, Luke Parker, Caleb Daniel. What do we think, guys, who's going to make the biggest impact of that experienced player?

Harveyis you know, is perked up absolutely. And then we've got some of the more experienced ones coming in that are you touched on Jack Darling, Luke Parker, Caleb Daniel. What do we think, guys, who's going to make the biggest impact of that experienced player?

I really do think that Caleb Daniel is going to make so much difference to the defensive line. I feel like we've seen it in some of the practice matches as well. He just knows what he's doing and that's what they need.

I really do think that Caleb Daniel is going to make so much difference to the defensive line. I feel like we've seen it in some of the practice matches as well. He just knows what he's doing and that's what they need.

Especially a guy that can hit a target almost every time he kicks it, which is what North is lacking in general. Other than cheesel or mckirtchery.

Especially a guy that can hit a target almost every time he kicks it, which is what North is lacking in general. Other than cheesel or mckirtchery.

I think, yeah, that's pretty wild hitting a target.

I think, yeah, that's pretty wild hitting a target.

Yeah, that'd be nice. What do you reckon?

Yeah, that'd be nice. What do you reckon?

I think, Luke Parker. I don't think you'll have the stat line of like most players. I think it'll be below average stat line. But he's sort of that experience in the front half and the like. You can put him into the field and just say we need you to just stop the momentum for a bit. You need your experienced head and he might not get a disposal, but he might get an important tackle here and there and absolutely just be an important voice out on the ground and also just give you a bit of mongrel.

Like I feel like Northol they get picked on easily. I can just stand up and give it back a spirit. Maybe I don't know. In there now. Touching on Essendon, we've got I think the most exciting player from the draft, Isaac Cco. He was lighting up pre season with four goals. Do we think he can bring that sort of form into the season, Like that's it's a big ask, but I think at least a couple of goals a game or Yeah, I feel like.

He is going to be one of those guys that delivers on a big stage. Yeah, he looked more than comfortable in that community long Yes, yeah, that's no easy task as well coming up against the Cats, but he looks comfortable.

He is going to be one of those guys that delivers on a big stage. Yeah, he looked more than comfortable in that community long Yes, yeah, that's no easy task as well coming up against the Cats, but he looks comfortable.

Yeah, I think he'll be right. I think we've talked about Hawthorne's back line.

Yeah, I think he'll be right. I think we've talked about Hawthorne's back line.

It's quite strong, but I reckon there are a few times on Friday against the Swans where the pace of Papley of shocked them a little bit, and I think Caco's got that explosiveness that could.

It's quite strong, but I reckon there are a few times on Friday against the Swans where the pace of Papley of shocked them a little bit, and I think Caco's got that explosiveness that could.

Maybe just rattle me as a Hawks fan. We'll see, hopefully, hopefully he stays quiet for my sake. There's a few Yeah, guys in the draft where you go, they're not going to be nervous, Like maybe he just shows that on the outside, but I don't see CaCO being nervous at all. Like, I know that was only a preseason game, but Gelong a very experience got really good players. Obviously Hawthorne's gonna be really good as well. He just doesn't look nervous.

Drafts are becoming more like that, I reckon. I just don't really care. Like you look at Nick Watson last year.

I mean, my key thing that I took away from that was the avocado. He moved his avocado from breakfast to lunch oh one, and then the fats moving from.

I mean, my key thing that I took away from that was the avocado. He moved his avocado from breakfast to lunch oh one, and then the fats moving from.

Okay, he only eats whole foods, right, that's what he said. And he doesn't let anyone else cook for him. So when it's lunch at the club, he makes all so he's increased. He will play it all fifty.

Okay, he only eats whole foods, right, that's what he said. And he doesn't let anyone else cook for him. So when it's lunch at the club, he makes all so he's increased. He will play it all fifty.

I like that. Somehow I've got how do I do that? I love it? I love it. And then the last one that we wanted to touch on was Brisbane obviously, Ashcroft is a famous name already and they're saying he's going to be better than all of them. Levi, Ashcroft, the youngest Ashcroft is going to make his debut, most likely this weekend. I'm excited for that as well.

Yeah, I think that that'll be exciting for him. Him and will just like the connection because they would have played together all growing up for Sandy and at their junior club. Yeah, it's going to be exciting to watch him. How do they how do they just keep getting stronger?

Yeah, I think that that'll be exciting for him. Him and will just like the connection because they would have played together all growing up for Sandy and at their junior club. Yeah, it's going to be exciting to watch him. How do they how do they just keep getting stronger?

I'm thinking of them? Yeah, what are your thoughts on, Levi?

I'm thinking of them? Yeah, what are your thoughts on, Levi?

Well, is this going to be a Josh Nick Daykost dynamic?

Well, is this going to be a Josh Nick Daykost dynamic?

A good core? I hope not more those? No, we do we need more like the camp Valley Brothers, the Twins, Like we need more brothers? Go onhead. I like it.

A good core? I hope not more those? No, we do we need more like the camp Valley Brothers, the Twins, Like we need more brothers? Go onhead. I like it.

Yeah, I think it's a It's a great storyline for Brisbane. I mean, it doesn't really get much better. So let's hope he makes his debut and you know it's looking.

Yeah, I think it's a It's a great storyline for Brisbane. I mean, it doesn't really get much better. So let's hope he makes his debut and you know it's looking.

Likely Yeah he will, yeah, unless something happens, but he's an absolute freak, so he should. Yeah. All right, that's all the debutantes we wanted to go through. We're going to finish off with some big questions here. Out of all the players we just read out, who do we think is going to make the best debut this weekend. I'll start with you, Jess.

We're going to finish off with some big questions here. Out of all the players we just read out, who do we think is going to make the best debut this weekend. I'll start with you, Jess.

Well, my heart says Fino Sullivan. It really does. But I just feel like maybe it's Isaac. Yeah, I think it's Kaco. I'm also just very excited about his story, like his family history, like traveling from Iraq. There are a few countries to get to Australia, and then footy is not like you know, wasn't the first kind of sport to come to mind for them, But get the system and you know, and I just like the story story. I think it's going to have a great game.

Yeah, I love that. I was going to say Kako, but I'll go a bit different. I reckon Lawler. Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, I love that. I was going to say Kako, but I'll go a bit different. I reckon Lawler. Yeah, I don't know.

I just O'Sullivan to me is a bit of an easy answer. I think he's going to dominate. I just think Laura might just I don't know, twenty disposals two or three goals and just give Richmond fans a bit of peace of mind going into what could be a long season.

I just O'Sullivan to me is a bit of an easy answer. I think he's going to dominate. I just think Laura might just I don't know, twenty disposals two or three goals and just give Richmond fans a bit of peace of mind going into what could be a long season.

Yeah, I need someone to stand up and then in an exciting factor they do.

Yeah, I need someone to stand up and then in an exciting factor they do.

He has a lot of room to get a few touches. Well that's it and a bad team, so that's pretty cool. I'm going to go the easy end to leave by Ashcroft. I think he's just because we're saying best debut. He is the most ready player in the draft. I think he's got the big body, can barge out of the contest and Brisbane, you're going to get a lot of the ball just from locking eel handbling it to you or he's even his brother. So I'm going to go leave by Ashcroft as the best debut. Lastly, last thing we're going to say is who will be the rising star this year? We're doing big calls on this segment with Jest today. Who do you reckon will be the rising start of all the rookies this season?

It could be it could be Oh, I'm really taught here, But it could be Lucas Camparelli left to feel like.

I didn't expect that he did one free season.

I didn't expect that he did one free season.

Yeah, it could just be someone completely left a field, and I'd be very excited about that.

It has happened in the past.

It has happened in the past.

Yeah, like giving it to all the all the high picks. But I think Levi Ashcroft for the reasons he said stats guy. I think he'll be the most consistent player.

Yeah, like giving it to all the all the high picks. But I think Levi Ashcroft for the reasons he said stats guy. I think he'll be the most consistent player.

I feel like the.

I feel like the.

Others might drop out of form here or there, like CaCO and Laurla a bit more explosive players. Ashcroft will just be a consistent professional. If Kaco kicks above thirty five goals, that's a lot.

Others might drop out of form here or there, like CaCO and Laurla a bit more explosive players. Ashcroft will just be a consistent professional. If Kaco kicks above thirty five goals, that's a lot.

Yeah, I think then he's a lot of riding stuff. But that's a big ask, especially when.

Yeah, I think then he's a lot of riding stuff. But that's a big ask, especially when.

He could do it, like when you look at their forward line like he's the main small guy.

He could do it, like when you look at their forward line like he's the main small guy.

Yeah there, but yeah, if he kicks that many goals, and I reckon he will get it. But I'm leaning towards Levi Ashcroft as well. All Right, that's a wrap for from the desk with Jess. Thank you very much, Jess jomping On.

We're ready to go, ready to go, Friday night, Thank you lord. It is Leo versus Marcus, or as most people call it, Hawthorne versus Essendon lads Friday night at the MCG. We're actually all going to be there. I'll be cheering on the Hawks because I hate the Bombers, but you'll be fight up for the bombs.

That's the plan. They could also make me very depressed.

That's the plan. They could also make me very depressed.

That is true. That is true in typical Essendon fashion. That's all right, all right. We'll start in the order that I'm looking at it here. We'll start with Hawthorne. You can talk through the ins and outs. We're going to go ins and outs, then talk through the game after that.

He has a big head.

That's a good observation from a fallow big exactly. I was gonna say that, but yeah, but yeah, Hawthorne's team pretty stock standard. Just putting players where they want to on this team. Sheets Cicily's on a wing again. I'm sure that would amuse you, stats guy, you love it when they do that.

No, I don't put him anywhere. He's a good man.

No, I don't put him anywhere. He's a good man.

But the team looks pretty strong. I didn't expect too many other changes. I think the mcg ground will help us.

Very nice. Wasn't have been dropped or.

That's a great question, you know, keep bringing that inside? Yeah, all day every day. What about Esson for you, Marcus? Well, obviously we haven't seen last week. At least the Hawthorne got to run out on the park.

That's a great question, you know, keep bringing that inside? Yeah, all day every day. What about Esson for you, Marcus? Well, obviously we haven't seen last week. At least the Hawthorne got to run out on the park.

So new faces Isaac CaCO, that CaCO and Caddy and the forward line. Jackson Pryor debut for the club. Look, his dad played for Essendon as well, but he didn't play enough games to be eligible for father son. So yeah, he's in a line of defense and on the bench. One of Sardis Hobbs, Shield Gresham or Desma will be the sub. It will either be Hobbs or Dema.

Startists look good in super coat choosers start O Hooly, I think we know for a while though he's not playing.

Startists look good in super coat choosers start O Hooly, I think we know for a while though he's not playing.

Not playing. Yeah, he didn't play in the last pre season game. I don't believe, so that's right. Anyway, talking with the game a little bit, bogey team alert, there's a few bogie teams this weekend. The Bombers have been the Hawks in six of the last seven meetings by an average of twenty seven points as well, Leo, how do you feel about that one? I know the Hawks look like a better team.

And the seventh one was just by a point as well.

Yeah, yeah, it wasn't that Tim O'Brien kicked the winning goal.

Yeah, yeah, it wasn't that Tim O'Brien kicked the winning goal.

Harry Jones debut. I think, yeah, he just sprayed it. He kicked like zero five or something.

Harry Jones debut. I think, yeah, he just sprayed it. He kicked like zero five or something.

Yeah. That really surprised me though, because the Bombers just love playing the Hawks. Yeah, they do, and it annoys me. It's just a formal different nowl boys, they are a lot different Hawthorns. While won their last eight matches in Melbourne, so that includes a few the finals you've obviously got. Yeah, a lot of matches at the MCG and things like that, so they're pretty happy to play the G and yeah, anything any other talking points on this one that I think it will be. I think it would be a good game, big crowd. I think it will be a bigger crowd than tonight's game. Agree. Do you guys agree with that one? Because Richmond fans aren't going to want to watch one hundred point loss. No, yeah, anyway, all right, our sponsors are tabs, So I'm going to get through some of the odds here today. So we've got Hawthorne at dollar thirty four. Their head to head heavy favorites pretty much in this one. Essdent are three dollars fifty. I think that's well deserved. After the Hawks, I think they could have won Bay even more against in it. They were absolutely awesome. My best bet. Everyone's talking about this man. He dominated in preseason and now he's giving us some good odds With tab Isaac Kaco two plus goals at two dollars forty, I really really like. Obviously we haven't got the form other than the preseason. He got four goals against Geelong in the preseason. And then the Hawks, I think they've got a lot of big guys, but the smalls, I'm not as quite confident on their small defenders. So I think Coco can at least get two guys. I reckon he could even get three, so I have a look at that on tab. But two plus is two dollars forty. All right, lads, what do you reckon about about any of that? And then we'll get into our tips in margins as well.

Hawks by thirty seven, thirty seven, thirty seven. You're not confident this, no, unfortunately not And I think, yeah, Hawthorne look pretty good and they're going to be very good throughout the season, so lovely.

On this man throughout the throughout the preseason because he will Actually maybe not, because he missed the games through the injury, it could have been a bit of a doubt to feature in this one. But he does feature. Bailey Smith will make his debut for Geelong. Yes, does he rock a long sleeve?

Just for him? Yeah? Maybe, but he's the beginning for the Cats.

He's the beginning for the Cats. Obviously, they're gonna need a lot of effort from Shannon Neil this season with Tom Hawkn's retirement, so it'll be interesting to see how he goes because I think Geelong fans have some high expectations from him, and.

I reckon, Yeah, Maxie, you've got a very just the depth is crazy. You got loss and umpres Max Holmes. I think in every sort of level of their defense, mid forward, they just got depth everywhere. So I then they're going to be really good the Cats. What about the other side, Leo Frio, everyone's talking up man, let's do it? How good?

I think Tracy, because he's going to be the more deeper for a Miss sort of plays thats and a half forward or huts or high half forward role, I reckon, whereas Tracy's just play bear in the square a bit, just just get a few bear in the square. Yeah, heard bear in the square. I've heard of it, but I don't know what from. Probably Jason Dunstall was a bit of bear in the square or Gary Albert Senior sometimes did that. I reckon, you just stay in the screen and take hangers on people. But I think they're gonna go really well in terms of the matchup though, Geelong have won their last seven season openers at gm HbA, but Freeo have beaten them at the category the last two times, so it's I wouldn't say like a full on bogie team, but not many people, not many people, not many teams go down to Geelong and beat them down there, but free I know how to do it. They do.

And I think back in the day when they were on that ridiculous run of wins the gm HBO. It was Freeman, wasn't it.

They're broken? Yep, it was. So they know that they know how to play down there. They're pretty good. Now we're gonna have a look at the odds with Tab once again. So he got Geelong a dollar forty seven. This one is a lot closer than the other games. Freemantle at two dollars seventy that's the heads ahead odds. I've been talking this guy up all pre season. The boys on the show will be loving this. Grind at my's twenty plus disposals and to kick a goal is my best better this game three dollars odds for three dollars in odds with Tab. I'm really liking this. He's had twenty three in a goal in their last meeting and average twenty one disposals two goals in the last month of last season. He's been turning it up to another level. He doesn't just get goal assist this man. He knows how to kick a goal. Don't worry about his finny kicking action. He knows how to finish through the big sticks. Twenty plus disposal as well. I think he had a thirty plus disposal game in one of the matches him in preseason as well, so he's in really good form. I'm going all in on grime Mice. There's any other any other thoughts on this game? Geelong for out?

We're gone, Geelong going, Geelong, Thinklong Who I'm going Freemantle other end of the stick, Gelong and they're good, but I think Frio. I think this season is the season they have to do something because they missed out last season obviously, So I'm going to go eighteen points.

We're gone, Geelong going, Geelong, Thinklong Who I'm going Freemantle other end of the stick, Gelong and they're good, but I think Frio. I think this season is the season they have to do something because they missed out last season obviously, So I'm going to go eighteen points.

Eighteen nice, I'm going free by five points. They've had a lot of close matches at gm HbA. They know how to win down there. I know they're the underdogs, but I think they can get the job done. All right. That's Geelong taking on Freemantle. Next one on Saturday four fifteen at the SCG is Sydney taking on Brisbane. Obviously this is their Grand Final rematch Sydney still Scott. Who's gonna be and who's gonna be? We'll start off with you, Leo, who do you give me? Sydney? Please? Now City?

Eighteen nice, I'm going free by five points. They've had a lot of close matches at gm HbA. They know how to win down there. I know they're the underdogs, but I think they can get the job done. All right. That's Geelong taking on Freemantle. Next one on Saturday four fifteen at the SCG is Sydney taking on Brisbane. Obviously this is their Grand Final rematch Sydney still Scott. Who's gonna be and who's gonna be? We'll start off with you, Leo, who do you give me? Sydney? Please? Now City?

They bring in Joel Hamling and Riley Bye.

I think handling. That's a great Nickome.

I think Joel Hamling's coming in to show up the back line a little bit in terms of height, I think. And they want to play mccarton forward, don't they, So that probably plays correct. Adams and Chldrick go out both injured.

He They made it all the way to the Grand Final and crap forward? So they don't need him, says the North fan. Yeah, one of the best bards in the conference. That's about it.

Sydney the team does look pretty strong, but I don't know if they can they can hold off Brisbane.

Brisbane looked pretty strong. Yeah, like Sydney's team looks strong and then you look even on Brisbane. Brisbane's team ins and outs. Brisbane team.

We've heard some news. You've always going to be the sub. He is part of that bench. So for super coach you have him, you might want to get rid of him.

But the bigger who gets the feature against Sydney unlike in the Grand Final, so he gets his turn against the Swans this time around. But yeah, very strong, they're always very strong. Interesting to see how the forward line plays without big Joey Danahers.

As Alex mentioned, he wants to go full hippie this year. We're going all in on Eric kim Pood. He has to kick three goals a game to like behind proves wor he's going to kick a lot of behind us, but to prove his worth a bit because Logan moras against a lot how many? How is that? Well fifty, that's a forty five plus fifty plus two goals a gifty plus yeah, just over two goals. Again, you want your too four kicking at least two a game probably, and then you got Logan Morris. I really rate Logo Morris for the line, So I think that's actually going to be still a really good forward line even though Joey Donhur is not in there.

And I'm still waiting to see like like cam Rainer went up a little bit last year, but I'm still waiting for like Zach Bailey, Everyone's talk when is he going to be unleashed? And last year everyone thought it was the year and he just.

Yeah, but he just needs to go next him and fighting the battle of like, yeah, we're gonna break out this year and then no, yeah is.

Better than one hundred percent one. Zach Bailey overcame is way better at cooking than playing footy. So a good chef is oh yeah, he's literally bulls comment that'll that'll rattle him. You don't like chefs.

Cooking anyway. Some more match insights. Obviously, the last meeting was the sixty point lines win in the Grand Finals. Do we think this one's are going to be a bit scar from that? Yeah, quick thoughts, I think so. I think I think they might be a little bit rattled in that, even if it's at the SCG, they'll be rattled. Lushbacks, lashbacks for sure. The odds with tab of course Sydney two dollars and ten cents very rare that they're the underdogs at the SCG, Brisbane a dollar seventy four heads ahead. I think those odds are about right. If this was at the Gabba, you heavily skew it towards Brisbane. My best better this game, though. I'm going to keep rolling this until he doesn't do it. Chad Warner two plus goals. It's gone down from three to seventy five last week to two dollars sixty this week. We cashed in last week and he's just so attacking out of midfield so two pl goals I really like as the tab best bet. All right, lads, finish off tips margin who we tipping?

I think Brisbane get this done within.

Three goals, Okay, I agree with that. Yeah, I'm about the same.
