Hooty is back. What a weekend it's been get a. I'm Brisbane's finest ginger warrior, Daniel Merritt. No wait, I'm not Daniel Merritt. I'm James Clements. I'm the host of AFL Today, enjoining me as per usual for the AFL Today Show, your new ONEP shop for all things footy. Had a bit of fun. It's a couple of local dinguses. What's going on? Dingiss? We've got Alex Donnelly over there, local Swan's enough.

Yeah, I thought you would have brought out your favorite Brisbane ginger in Michael Voss. Given he's now your favorite Carlton Ginger, that is a lie.

He's not my favorite Carlton Ginger. We have a long storied history of great gingers. The Culton fool, that's a current. We also have one dude, Koche clearly he didn't shave his head though, doesn't want.

To be hung up in Kotchell's basements every chance.

Is out there trying to dodge the accusations, and I don't appreciate it.

Come on, Ginger, be someone hanging up inside that dude's basement.

Maybe love Cotter's anyway, And also over there it's the stats boy.

Absolutely Daniel Merrit.

I had some mates that actually were the Daniel Merritt fan club every time he played in Melbourne that'd have a big bay and.

They absolutely loved him. And yeah, I can see that bit of Daniel meritin you.

Actually sure, I'd say you can see Daniel Meridon Like, well, I meet Daniel Merrit, me and Daniel Merrit there we go. Because I'm older than him, right, so I feel like, yeah's you're probably similar one either way. From what stuff like this. Check out the ANFL today socials and all the good gear right there. What a week it was actually for the socials we had marmalade in, we had a whole bunch of other stuff, rankings and all that kind of gear. It was finn at discourse, the versus Harley Red discourse hit a fever peak. It was fantastic. Whoa lamp and it was absolutely chaos, leading into a very very weird up and down week of footy where I feel like four of the games are good, five of the games were bad. So back, I guess that's the what this is the genius part where we go geez Jim, it's been nine rounds. That's sad, isn't it.

I had that realization this week.

No, this is mine. I bring this up on an NBA Australia all the time. Don't be concerned by water has gone past and have very little time there is remaining to wall of Bruce McAvaney.

Don't be sad that it's over. Be happy you were there to exper It's.

What it's all about. This is the thing so old, mate. She thought like it's mother's day. Happy Mother's Day to Karen.

Yes, Jewish Trishrish.

I was right there with Trish and of course Jocelyn and Gerald's mum shout a nice good times, great memories on your mum's Uh, the thing is old, mate, she does have this. You know, I've got the two squids. So remember when ye remember when I was small. Yeah, they're still very small and I'm appreciating how cool they are right now, Like it was very cool then, it's still very cool now. Oh just think about when they will be like this age I don't have to worry about.

That's future Gym's.

Problem, and it will probably be a problem and future GiB will sort that out. Fingers crossed my recurrent gym is struggling as it is to keep this run under control. What are we doing creature now? I'm worried anyway, So it's all about the present and.

Look nine week podcast as well, sometimes.

Nine weeks in technically basically ten weeks into the footy season. Yes, but the quick look before we get the ladder wrap jessup isn't the concussion protocol. I didn't think that giant bonds of he's but actually a company knocks that would sort of definitely make it a bit wobbly. But Jesus did he look wobbling. They kept him on the field too, but he passed the test.

Yeah, we're talking Alex and I before this.

At first, I saw that written down in the runch and I'm going, oh, it didn't look good for Geelong. But they did do all the tests. They didn't do anything wrong. Comes up the next day, but that's it. I think the AFL needs to change the way they're doing it. Because liber had the same thing. He just stayed out there for a long time and then he got concussed again. I feel like we need to change it. I think that second, because there's the one we have to go for fifteen minutes scout one. I feel like you've got to do that instead of just the question one because otherwise there's so many concussions that are going to get worse.

I don't know.

Do we need the NFL blue tint for the AFL question mark?

What's that?

We're just take him in there.

We also have the space looks like a porter. They take him down, Yes, I've seen that.

Yes, take him in the rooms. Yeah. So he and Hawk are not going to Darwin next week.

The pregame said they're going to manage Hawk for darl because I don't want to go to really sweaty. Yes, not a day for the big thoughts and to Tom Hawkins is not going to break the Gelong all time games record in Darwin against the Gold That is a very good point.

Actually, it also feels like, so what are we Round nine? Injuries are coming thick and fast.

So many concussions.

It feels like every game we sort of have like, oh they're down two people, they've made their sub and now they're stuffed. Like Collingwood today were lucky they were playing West Coast.

Jeremy Howe went down after kicking one goal. A bad beat for that dude who found Jeremy how at eighty to one to kick three goals he gets a one.

Yeah, well this was before it was like just right around the time that Cray said, oh, he's going to play for it because we have someone we was just paying attention to the press confor and had, you know, fifty bucks on three plus and something on two plus stood to win a fortune and Jamie how does he growing up to one goal every bad?

It feels like injuries? So look out. Obviously we're Carlton Melbourne. We were live streaming that one similar sort of vice were Carlton. I just like, are we just going to keep pinging hammies that.

You have a hamstring problem?

There? This is a is the deeper Culton discussion, Like even me a supporter has hamstring. This is something that we And the last one here in the quick look is geez, can we sort out Saturday night footy? Yeah? Can we?

I feel like the last good game was what Swan's and around.

Two Bulldogs Richmond.

Maybe at the start of the year that game was always going to be crashed.

I know, I don't know, but definitely North Gold Coast we should not be on a Saturday.

But but that's the secondary Saturday.

I didn't get Melbourne Gelong last week. Oh we did too, which was fine.

But I agree, I felt like it.

If we're going to double barrel, yeah, we make sure one of them is good.

So the next week double Barrel is killed in Frio. I'm assuming at Marble and Brisbane and Richmond going on at the exact same time.

Stagger, Stagger. It's not hard, right, it's type everyone's favorite letder check check check check chick Jack, kick Jack. There is one single team at the top of the AFL ladder.

You wouldn't know.

About it if you lived in Victoria.

We're going to Nobody talks about my really good move. I talk about sure Swan's eight one Gulo seven and two after a very very tough loss to Port. That game was wilde. We'll talk about that in the second.

What third, what? That just feels wrong.

The lid is off in East Key Law six one six too and one for the Bombers, and the.

Percentage is ninety eight.

It doesn't matter about ever because but it's just wild.

Yeah, ninety eight. That is the that's one of the worst percent It's literally the worst.

Percentage down to fourteenth going up.

We then have four teams at six and three. That is the Melbourne Demons, the gw As Giants, the Port Adelaide Power Were and the cart and ballooneslu Let's bring the wrong and fastest on the wrong salam. It's all about crazy Collingwood at five, three and one at the moment as well holding up the eight. That's the bottom of the eight. So because of that tie on ans Ac Day, we have two teams in the eight that are weirdly position where you've got the Bombers at three and you got the Pis at eight with that one of the prummy weird.

If the Bombers got rolled that day, they would currently eight on the draw because of the draw won that game.

So the drawer is sneaky helpful.

Draw is so helpful for uh.

Then outside of the we have Frio and Gold Coast at five and four. That checks out because they feel both very similar. For Gold Coast have the upside Frio. We'll talk about them again in a second. Bulldogs, there is your line of demarcation. Are you a good team? Question mark? Are you better than the Bulldogs?

No?

Then you're four and five and eleven. Sorry, Gerald, uh we currently watching the final quarter of the Adelaide Crows versus Brisbane Lions.

Winner is still going to be below the Bulldogs.

That's right, which means they're cooked. That is the line of demarcation. It's the greatest thing about the Western Bulldogs line. Are you worse than the Bulldogs, then you're not playing finals, simple as that. So whoever wins this will be at least even with them on points and will be below them still on percentage. But this it's hilarious to both those teams, hilarious, embarrassing.

Analy The hilarious party is the loser will still be aboves and kills.

You hang out with your family, you're embarrassing. Sorry. The Saints of three and six Hawthorne are three and six. That's gross. Then we also have West Coast to two and seven stand alone two and seven. I think we positive this a fair while ago, and I think I might have been the first one to bring it up that Richmond would finish below West Coast and off we win and then they've already gotten to two wins and Richmond like look like they'll never win a gain.

Richmond round twenty one? Could that be zero in twenty two one, and.

It actually could be because I was, you know, I was about Richmond last day.

I was like, I can't wait for a round twenty one. Was like, and he just came up to me last night. Look at this.

We played the other round twenty so is that the first time you play?

Yeah, we played a lot of teams twice and we don't play Richmond till around It's the.

Same with the Swans.

They don't play port till round twenty one, but they've got double ups like out the Wazu before then.

That's weird.

Anyway, Tigers won to night from Melbourne, still without a win. Oh you hate to see right, Let's do event session very quickly. First one. We're just never going to open the roof, are we, No, it's a for reason. It was a remarkably beautiful Mother's Day today and I was, you know what mums love the footy, b You know what mum's love open the room.

Mum's love being in the open air.

Your mom is like, you know what I would love for Mother's Day a picnic outdoors, Like you can have a picnic at the footy.

No, my mom would go when the room closed you outside.

It's not a picnic. That is just sitting in a giant airplane hangar while dudes run around playing footy. That's stupid. Open the roof.

We're never opening it.

Why have the functionality if you're not going to open it. It was beautiful, it's Mother's Day. There was only thirty eight thousand people for this pie's game where they can sell out basically an mcg there is a big contingent, contingent of West Coast fans here. They're up at about this year. We have thirty eight thousand. What are we doing? Open your room? That might be a start anyway. The other one it was a contract then, yeah, we're talk about the contracts. The other one is the sad one.

Yeah.

Mccarthysa horrible. We can't move this game, give it to Sunday, so we have two games today.

It sounds bad, but every sport, like as sports ever changed for that.

Adelade and Geelong was postponed when Phil Walsh was tragically passed away, but Phil Walsh was the current coach. Can McCarthy not being on the list since twenty twenty close friends with a lot of it was horrible.

They're just standing there.

And into half the team is in tears and they had to play again.

It was it was like Swan's fan watching the game.

It was weird.

Yeah, it was like I was just like this the game.

We've literally got two games on today moving to Sunday.

And then it would have been something like this.

One could have said, up, but we have to play in Sydney on what is it, Thursday or Friday night, so you're giving us a five day break.

Yeah, all those things would have come.

Into it fromie a river, they lost a mate. Yeah, some things are a little bit more important.

And I'm also thinking from the broadcast perspective as well, like the.

There were two games on that night as well.

That was the dumbest thing.

It's the dumbest thing. It's just like we've already got a game moving across, We'll move this to Sunday night, footy boom.

That's if it should be an easy.

That just it tugged at the heartstrings because look, this is one of my biggest things about where they talk about mental health, mental health, mental health, and then you have to play. What do you think would have been better for the entire Doctors team and their fans for their mental health. Anyone who's struggling like that would be just like, oh cool, no one cares about me. Great.

That sucks.

Moving on, basically, go right, we need to get around everybody here. You're all very clearly in the state of shock and a mess. They were all clearly a mess. They played horribly. How hard is it to play footy when your mind is on something else like that horrible move the game that fair col they got a bit serious. Game wraps Carlton Melbourne, that game sucked. You need to fit Carlton won.

Are You were not here for the last one, but I'm sure you.

In the background of all time is Jim being quiet for once in the last quarter and he's just in there like, oh geez, going to lose.

It's happening again.

Then I was cheering for Malvin so hard that was That was hilarious.

Very makes you supports. That's five goals to couriers. Drin Petruca so he got tagged out of the first half, Maddie Kennedy, they send him forward, He boots five, nearly wins the game off his own back, ends up twenty disposals as well.

One of the best individual performances we'll see this year.

It was insane. So it's Melbourne back if on Yeah, like if you hadn't gotten a towed in the first half, would they have done it? But he got towered so much they went right, we actually need to send him forward and it saved the game almost for.

Melbourne game chucking forward.

He's a great also, it is a great thing for later in the year as well.

It's it's putting forward. Cripson Wasshambay for sixty nine nice disposals. Enjoyed that a lot. The sort of way that they got up early but not missing any shots was very cool. The biggest problem for Carlton is going, hey, we've done lots and you don't know in the rack and we just don't know how to close out again.

You don't know how to like the game.

It is painful. They nearly botted it against GWS like everybody had marvel that day, absolutely bottled it. Because they then bottled it against Adelaide. They bothered against Geelong, they borted it against Collingwood. Almost said they always bottled against the demons. It was ridiculous.

Gather around, grow god damn. That's the biggest issue.

At the same time, if we hit on this very quickly in the live streck win some of these games and it's a lot easier.

But it's been a thing that you've been doing since late last year, been winning these games. But it's like you're just getting out of trouble. It's like you're not hey, Like it's not.

Taking that next step of being that dominant tam it's not.

Being it's not having that six goal break at half half time and having it still.

You're saying things that you don't think I've thought one yea. It's literally the entire thing is Carlton Monton putting teams away and like nothing is easy, and it should be because they have two dominant forwards. They now have Jack Martin back. Boy does he look just he makes them look so much better.

But it's also a.

Worry for later in the year going the mental and physical toll of all of these tight all of those games is just.

Yeah, and then you'd be in the back of your head when we almost lost this, and we also did say prior to the live stream they have a crazy six game run to get one win out of out of the moment.

You be in Melbourne no matter what.

That's that's a massive tick at the moment is another game was happening on Friday. We're moving to Friday now, Yeah, I mean there's anything else from Carlton and Melbourne.

Uh no, good live stream good.

That was a fun, very very full I was it was The game was actually a bit boring in the middle of part and then it just went.

It was just knuck up and can't just close it.

Still supremely concerned about Melbourn's Ford line, Like yeah, I know they're what six and three.

Yeah, they're in a lot of trucks.

They eat a truck in the midfield because Olive are still a bit up and down. Then they're like, oh wait, but we needed to play in full forward midfield and then on the wing.

Like yeah they can't play. They don't.

Yeah, they just they don't have anything going for them forward forward wise against good teams that they're trying to win games seventy five to seventy when they come up against better teams like Carlton.

The here Man and I think was it Petty also like sprayed a couple of like juice. Yeah, that like basically saved.

They put Petty down there thinking, yeah, he will fix them.

But anyway, two games Friday, let's do it. Geelong lost at the category to the Adelaide Power for the first time since two thousand and seven.

Dominico Travis spoke second game, which shows out three fifty three games.

Ninety five one one Power hold on Absolute Chaos, Absolute Coasus. The Hornet was really really.

Goods was amazing.

He set the tone I think as well, but as led for it front.

They just went, you know what, pin the years back, no fear, let's get I can't.

I'm saying that Ken Hinckley was genuinely really good tactics. They got into our Stuart rattled him a little bit. They were just trying to play on it all costs. Usually they'd like to go long and just run and gun. That was running gun, which is they haven't done to one.

I was like, oh, Ken's actually doing a good job here.

They almost bottled it.

Yes, they took Jim saying they were frauds personally.

Yes. The only Henry like shot late right where it was from Jess. Wasn't it to Oli Henry or something like that?

And then Jesse kicked it off the ground the goal square, Yeah, and.

It's just like what is happening? And then so so we go from the we miss out on the advantage, advantage, the advantage, they don't get the goal.

So the umpire blew the whistling back he missus.

The umpire blew the whistle before the ball was kicked, so he'd stopped the advantage.

Because I think an African was a bit stiff because they sometime know because.

Then the fact as soon as the ball was in the aird was going to a fifty to fifty, they'd say no advantage, bring it back anyway.

So half the time they go sucked in. You've kicked a lot of the times they just yeah, if they kicked go yeah.

But it's like fifty ball. It just ju decided a cannon ball through a pack.

Yeah, this game was a rollicking affair. Well, we're just trying to figure out what's going on and Geelong just came from the clouds like ah, I was still here, it's going on.

Check this is nuts.

It was just a strange old game.

I thought, what about ree Stanley getting subbed off because he was getting destroyed by a bloke in his fourth game and the.

Rough Yeah started, you seen an earlier sub ever, like.

Yeah, early technical subs, right, yeah, I think they has been a couple, but very very rarely, probably like three in the history of it.

Was amazing for three four goals, three amazing gear could have been in the last quarter single kick four her up the other end. Gary Rowan had a massive moment, like a couple of moments later he's clutched butters and Wines.

The Sydney Swans fans.

Yes, not not what he was.

He wasn't.

Wines was incredible, enjoyed that he really went on the clock back, didn't on my bench, No Sea Rosie, so I just step Uprew was pretty good as well. He's like, remember how I won a Brownlow It's like, oh yeah, I don't know how he wanted. It's still weird. It was weird. You shouldn't have won that. We'll give it to Chris Judd.

Also, how does Grid Myers anytime I.

Believe his name is pronounced Lionel message ryl message.

So, how does every time he gets the foot, no matter how much traffic is near him, he dishes out a handball to someone.

It is ridiculous.

fIF I mean he gets he gets a good.

Towards his body, just like underrated doing.

Do you think it was just the news at the five point one million dollars of tax payer money to get we haven't even talked four point one Yeah, public took it out.

Of cancer research and stuff.

Apparently that'll be ashamed of yourself from like.

We really did at New Score.

But who wants no, no, no, no, someone someone of the buildings. I'm going to pay off.

I'm going to I'm going to play the place was actually trying to funnel it towards the salary cap in the second Hey we need another jazz U someone. Yeah, we'll take Harley Reid five million over two years.

I love that. But it was a huge win for port Win because it moves them back in sixth they were frauds. They've now beaten Geelong. Gelong suddenly that's a big loss because they've just lost in Melbourne. Yea, they basically should have lost.

The last two weeks they've been really they.

Look off the boil. So has the title of frauds switched hands? It's still still exists.

Yeah yeah. But also like it's a thing for Geelong that they Gold Coast up in Darwin next week all of a sudden, they lose what three of their last four.

Interesting? Not great, right, Free, Oh this is the tough one. Thirty nine eighty seven Swans run over the top of them.

Alex Free, I hit the ground running, but it just started running with the footy. But they tried to handle through the Swan's press. That was their theory. And this one's like, we're just going to tackle the ever living hell out.

Is he gonna be like really just like nerdy about this. No, probably because he's got fifty two thousand. Oh my god, he's not I paid attention. Shut up, nude.

But Caleb Sarong had what twenty four touches at halftime. Yeah, but it was just like, yeah, you can get your little touches here and there, but not damaging. It was tagging Clark and Young is what stopped Frio's run out of taking but it was been underrated this Matt Fife was like, I'm going to try and take eyes.

That was a terrible idea. Three times in the one.

Quarter he got smashed.

Hilarious, it was three times in the one quarter. It was yeah, he's lost.

But also before the game, he and Alex Pierced just so so tough playing it looked it wasn't great. James Jordan, who could the Demons could desperately need right now two weeks in a row or three weeks in a row, it's been good midfield Noah Anderson and Clark he's just tagged him out of the game.

Three more votes. Question Mark. I thought was the best player on the.

On the night, but he machine could have kicked me a goal.

Yeah, that would help get the goal. Maybe you would have got the more votes there.

Also, contract you Jake Stringer has now been replaced by contract you will Hayward goals.

In the last two weeks and an extra couple of zeros on that.

He's going to look so good.

Thanks for that first round picked Jim. It's going to be great. The forwards, they just need Jack Martin two point zero that doesn't get injured every week, but more than Jack Martin so free. They were what one goal ten one go one goal.

There was a moment, there was a moment we were messaging. It's like it was one goal ten to ten goals one Yeah, but.

In numerology that Cam Mooney does was the reverse.

But Chad Warner that just pay an explosion. He's got out of packs. What a couple of twenty odd touches and a couple of goals. Fordline is still not really clicking for this one. Like Logan McDonald's getting to dudes.

Can we say that about Sidney's former Well.

We've got Logan and a lot of good dudes, but Logan and a Mahdi are the two power forwards. And McLean's chopping out in the rock like Brody Grundy slaughtered Luke Jackson.

It was forty three hitter coach.

It was not me.

Yeah, anyway, it was insane.

But the most important thing for the Swans is they've played six out of the other nine sides in the top ten.

This is the one six four six at the moment, is right, So they are like.

They play the blue. I'm already. I'm pretty angry about.

That sandwich.

Gets already, We've made We've talked abou before. Carlton literally have never won of the Sag in my entire life, really never ever, that's insane. Might not actually be.

Literally that's not true. But Jim's memories not good memories of this.

It's like the Carlton Melbourne game. As I was talking about how like listening to it on the radio with my dad being the house on a Saturday. Kicked kicked eight goals and we still lost. Still sucks. We never woned the essage anyway, But this one's looking on best.

Yeah, on top of the ladder, most points in the in the camp and they've allowed the least already as well, so everything's really clicking for them.

Aaron Francis, he looked very sloppy early.

But yeah, built into the game.

Yeah, he's a good second man up because if Tom mccarton doesn't play next week, Lewis Mellikan will give Charlie can bath for the third consecutive time.

But basically for free, Like they were just off Tracy and the miss we're all off and I was just like.

Tracy genuinely kicked a goal that was given a point.

Yeah that was.

Too but missed, I thought.

But there was one that just like going straight through the riddle.

Yeah, Like, thankfully this wasn't a close game.

Otherwise we've been like, hey, like first of all, umpires having a crack and making a call good stuff, but you couldn't.

But it was it wasn't great, also, was it? Jeremy sharp two goals and twenty eight touches.

How are you still talking with this? Million? Was great? You go to Tazzy, Thorns and Kilda. We were messaging during this one as well. Social boy Leo shirts off. He actually got back from one sestem yet he's swimming. Yeah. Fifty eight to fifty three. The Hawks hold on for a famous win, mostly because James Cissely didn't rock up. Yes, and that might have been the reason they won. They don't need that negative.

Boys.

He gets hate boys, listen up. You know it sucks this place.

Let's just lose it. Get out.

I hate the fresh air, I hate the amazing food, I hate the people. I just hate everything about Tazzy.

It's like it's names, it's.

The third quarter mate. Concentrate on the game.

He's like never he's actually punched someone by them as well.

So if all I want in my life is similar, We'll talk about the Collingwood fan who grabbed the the West Coast Eagles our player yes during the game that if someone did that to James Sisily, we would have a malice in the palace situation.

She's like finally gone, he goes, he goes, where are you from has he where you're from Glen.

How good is the food? Then?

Man, so an amazing win.

Though it wasn't a great game, let's be ho.

It was fifty towards the end. King completely cooked it. In the end he had a Yeah, he's both like, if you can touch the ball, you can mark the ball. It's always been my adage. You off he's in the ball somehow hit both of his hands, but that's and then just completely clanked off.

That's the game, Max King and Max King like the point where we can finally say everyone thinking, oh ten years, over a million dollars per year.

He does not deserve that money. He is more Eric hip Wood than he is Charlie Kno.

I think he's let's not I agree with that right now.

But he'll be a good player.

I still think he can make. He's more Eric Hippo than Charlie.

I think. I think if we let him actually have a bit of run where he just plays consistent football and games.

Yeah, he's been injured a lot.

Yeah all of last year. Yeah, all of last year. That it was his brother and miss two four year at the Gold both bad. But he did he shoulder at the start of last year, came back in middle of the year and it's just like, come on, just let it go.

But still it was a shocking The Wizard was my favorite player this one. He only got two goals, but he was just igniting the crowd. He kicked one from out fifty, the comments like, he's got to pass this off. I can't believe he'sving, he's going to pass this off. I still there's stuff stuff you componators, kicks one from fifty, the crowds going, he's this it's more than me.

It's some unbelievable The commentators.

In Melbourne rather than being in I think they were there for good. Finally, you like that.

I just hate that his nickname is the Wizard.

He's going to be a good player.

Jeff, Yeah, I know, but I just like funny nicknames. Who is Jeff Farmer? Nobody from Jeff Farmer?

Uh?

Anything else about this one was really really what's that Ross line? Oh yeah, we'll talk about ross Lyne later.

Yeah, this really great win for Hawthorne. Like sam Mitchell turning the results around, They've still got to like.

They got a lot of people out.

It's a horrendously long injury list and.

You still stink. Three and six looks a lot better than two and seven. Yeah, and also they won their last two. But the funny part is like killas also three.

So it's like Hawthorne got belted two weeks ago by eighty points and they've just gone bang bang around.

Everyone's like it's great, Hawthorne's rebuilds cooked. Sorry what yeah two weeks.

The thing is it's still like they're not.

But if they win six games this year with all their injuries, considering what they won eight last year, they've been beset by injuries, I think that's a good result.

I agree. Like I think towards the end of last season, we're like, oh, better watch your Hawks sneaker you picked for the eight. It's like, oh wait, no, it's not. It's cooked. So they're still underwhelming in what we thought of from last year. Yeah, I think from where they were like a month ago, way better.

And another thing, there's a few guys that people go, I didn't think they're gonna be that good.

They actually got some good guys.

Meanwhile, we got da fucking like lighting up for his fifth I'm going to blame Reducer Gerald. He forces us to tape early you can't. Actually, he's like, boys, it's three quarters time. Get in there, off Smasher like geez.

Producer Gerald is jacked.

He's easily the most Well, he's clearly more Jack than me.

He's more.

It's pretty hard, you know, to be fair.

Stats guy did just come off the off the of the new Studio film Planet of the Apes. Stats guy just came straight from there.

Yeah, for cruise.

I heard.

Doing the cricket It was the nineteen thirty seven cricket shirt.

And look at Alex.

He's come off the street. Anyway, that's good Jack.

This is I love this show. I thought you lost it.

I found it. It was in a box.

Clearly, I was looking at the next game. His holes in the wall. How we only have to answer eighty two sixty two the bomb rays hold on. Yes, they were down, then they were not.

They were down three goals at one point.

It did feel exactly at this moment where you're like, ah, did the bombers have this and have it in them to come back? Ordered GWS just sort of choked the living hell out of them. There was that way. There was no tsunami in this one. Marvel just might be a bit of a bug bear for g WS. They lose the car The way played as well was really good for Masters, very nice.

They just really quickly last year to GWS lost the Carlton then too, Yes, yeah they did and it just looks weird.

Game watch fun game times what path like. Not much happened in the last ten minutes.

It was a good pressure sort of game, one of those ones where you're not seeing heaps of goals, but you go and there's just tackles everywhere.

There's bodies fine everywhere.

But the way the Bombers turned this around right, so it was two goals for every one goal the g were basically scoring. You're like there in front, they're standing in front, my god, no one, oh my god. We third it was choss flat, very flat.

Haven't beaten anyone in the eighth this year, so there results like, oh sorry, Collin would have now snuck into the eight. So this was before this morning, but so Colin was the only team in the eight that they've beaten. They've been belted by the Swans. They were very flat this week, letting Locester Carltons. That's three of their last four.

Lakes be really good as well, but you shouldn't be especially you shouldn't be leting Gavi kick three Lankford.

Was great though.

Yeah they didn't move Sam Taylor to Langford until the damage was done and Gwelfie he was destroyed Locki Whitfield and then made it, made it count on the scoreboard even if they still would have won, even if he didn't kick those girls, because they would have found a way. But it's they hurt Locky Whitfield who doesn't like to defend or so shout out to Macwelfie celebration with the yeah loved it, good stuff.

So g WSS best winner is over Gold Coast. I thought Collingwood round round round zero, what they were doing outside of that one, It's like the round that doesn't count.

Were saying you look at you look, that's it.

I believe that this is this is what watching that game, I'm like, I am so puzzled as to how the lack of runners somedthenly not there, but this is the game they win. But if you're legit, you win this game.

Is this also like.

Last year where in May and June they're a bit middling how you're going? And then they got the trying to time the run.

I think what we can see is that their upside is still chaos. Yeah, have you seen that upside? The problem is they're bad. It is bad. It's like this is it? The roof is the ceiling.

That's the other thing we've also underrated.

But you tipped them.

I know a lot of people you underrated Essendon.

Thank you. I am a secret essenmon supporter, as we all know, BI the supporter on this for this bloke over here, just I think it's fantastic. I love that the third on the ladder. I think that's fantastic for the Pombers. It is the greatest way for it. Wait for it, there is no way for it.

Just wants to get because what do you mean?

Because there are great teams stats going out on the last sh ruse like what twenty five there's only eighteens below Northern and East Caller East Keeler under fourteen than the ruse, so mixed underfore the ash the Ashmonk Demons undertweentl the.

Alls kick kids that I watched on Saturday morning probably better than the rules of this Bombers legit and definitely a flag contender. This is the best reverse monk ever reverse Monkush rich Men are horrible. They scored forty three points. Western Bulldogs ripped off nineteen nineteen one one.

Thirty three have kicked closer two hundred. They missed so many easy goals.

So my belief is Saturday nights games aren't real.

They don't count. So let's fly through games. Arms kicked four of this game.

That proves it's not real. Happened prim Harmsy is back because the stats so Richmond were minus one hundred and six on disposals, thirty six on the inside fifties, negative thirt eight on tackles. When when the ball dog?

What about free kix? What about look at it? Well Richmond and clearly just always hated by the umpires.

Alex point.

Really guy, Yeah, I'm just saying that the joke I say that to you. I'm saying the way to sell the joo and anyway that Jesus good having you and the good jokes. I couldn't. We're about to like just watch Adelie completely for two minutes. Yeah, and they have that or a point point.

Anyway, So negative fifty on scores from turnover as well. But does this change anyone's thinking on the Western Bulldogs. They've beaten Richmond now and I don't had three dudes go down as well.

I think even Bulldog supporters like I've got a lot of family. Is the simple idea that we need the mid season trade period. Yeah, up until I want to say round vitually the.

By rounds, round thirteen fourteen, during the buy rounds.

We have the trade where you can trade anyone throughout the season up until the buyers. You can finish that. Basically, the trade deadline happens at the last week of the buyers. Because dust marked like Jesus warm on the Gold Coast.

I call I said this, but he's got the Gold Coast.

I reckon he'll retire because how long does he hang around if they get belt at dream time? Does he do the dimmer from last year.

Anyway? Does does he do the dimmer from last years?

Like?

Yeah, I'm done, Like he just retires on the spot.

Maybe what's it? He needs the games title or the Goalds title. Doesn't he goals total games total?

Something he wouldn't be new.

No, there's like a game Sotle milestone. Then he's going to get yeah yeah, yeah, it could be three hundred three fifty.

Keys played as we go doing this on the run two hundred and ninety five. He could, he could cane corns it and retire after three hundred games with much more accolades than cane corns and a way better.

Block and definitely head that actually fits his face. But you also think so Richmond, how are still talking about this game? Weston Bulldogs ruled? But no, nothing changes from either time. Richmond stink, We get that. Western Bulldogs still.

Western Bulldogs played GWS in Sydney next Saturday after.

Tooby Greens gonna kick some of them.

Their first home home game at the Showgrounds since like the show right, yeah, for a while, a long while. Yeah, probably God goes North. This game sucked one twenty fifty two stat's boy take it away.

Well, it was really close in the in the first of quarter, in half the first half.

Yeah, because just the conditions, I think you you were saying, this is the most ugly game of footy I've probably ever watched.

You got what's the technical term crazy grease? Crazy?

Yeah?

Easy?

And also this is exactly why we don't we won't have an AFL team in Darwin. These conditions are disgusting.

Well, if you're going to stadium with like air con or something, maybe.

That's going to be a roof and gym is going to kill you in.

Dubai anyway, Yeah, North, when you know that it's greasy conditions and Suber's missing easy shots.

You got Jed Walter kicking two four, My.

Beloved Jed Walter, he's actually playing name.

Yeah, you're the love.

I'm the best AFL player going right now, Jed Walters. The best is not enough James Clemence's favorite AFL player had non Carlton division Jed Walter. That's full full, not enough dudes with sweat bands. Yeah, that's a really good point.

It's a good point.

I love sweat bands. I'm all about the sweat, sweat.

Sweat, Gold Coast.

They should just play every game in Darwin. As we mentioned before, five wins in a row now there, and they won.

They kicked seventeen, yeah, seven, it was It's.

Very hard to kick accurate there. I've realized that they keep kicking scores up there. I don't know how they got one hundred and twenty because it was nothing and then it was just went I on.

The show next Thursday. But they'll beat you a long next week.

The Wednesday show.

Yeah, yeah, you can tell it on a Wednesday show. And it was awesome. Closely, he was awesome for lots of super coaches out there as well.

So Sunday, Carlingwood West Coast they smashed him.

Sorry, there's thirty seconds to go in the market. Oh my god, it's a draw. Currently anyway, continued Collingwood.

One O three West Coast Eagles, West Coast, you've got thirty seven. They did not score for a very long, very long period. It was gross. It was horrible. What are you doing West Coast? Seriously? Did they kick a goal in the second half. I'm just trying to check. This is going to be a lean. Ryan kicked one of the start of the fourth. We are under the second draw season.

Oh three handle draw. It's a draw.

Wow, give me some extra time, craps go to ot.

Oh they actually got a kick in there.

We're going to ott kill the ball, sorry, Carold.

Amazing kick would have the sense of mine, man, what is that?

But there you go.

Both teams below the Bulldogs and aboves and killder.

Love to see it. The most amazing state about Collingwood. Yeah, West Coast was that West Coast had more players from the premiership team in twenty eighteen than Collingwood did from last.

Year twenty in that game, in that game, in that game, but they're I think they're a lot older. Are they.

Still like trotting out?

Like the.

Collingwood had the fire sale of a lot of players from that team as well.

Exactly they pulled the pin, which is what West Coast did not do, which is what Richmond didn't do. Exactly here they are. This was slightly competitive for the first quarter. I think West Coast kicked the first goal and then you're like, oh, that's okay, Colors. The rest of the game not great. Harley lamp it wasn't amazing. Took a hangar, it was fine, It was okay.

Can we stop with the nicky comparisons?

Actually he might be able to compare, but right, but also, Harley Reid is the starting rock rover or midfielder Nick Dacos for his first forty games round off half back, the comparisons are null and void and do not count.

I like.

The comparisons, aren't the first will be easy? His hate game?

Yeah, I like how they're competitors in the two young guns going at it. But yeah, Nick learn anything.

Like literally your first AFL season, we all understand that it's going to be rough, it's gonna suck, You're gonna have some ups. And Nick Dacos is fifty games into his AFL career, he's a weapon. We understand that he would have won the Brown though last year had he not have gotten Halie Reid is unreal. It's also going to take you a little while to be like absolutely like especially he's a bad team games pop the breaks anyway, Pie's good Eagles badh thirty six touches for Nick Dakos. Josh Jacobs had a little bit more today as well. Jack Crisp was fantastic. They sort of move for a couple of games every now to go to go at the moment, right, so they throw Chris back into the middle. You see a lot more of Alex's favorite Johnny Noble as well, bless Yes and Josh Tacos twenty eight points twenty eight disposals though, and it's like this is underrated. This is the moment when you like, yeah, with their sort of other guys missing duty injury, no pig in there, no de goi, Josh Ako stepped on and stepped up. I love to see it. And they've got a fascinating run.

Do they do?

They do? We're like they're in the eight now and you feel like it's probably not going to stop or will it? Who knows. It's the best part because they have Adelaide this week. Oh but a lot of injuries, chaos, then they've got free then the game that's over there.

This is like they should win beating in the last eight games.

Yeah, so chaos eight week. Sorry, yeah, my bad want that anyway. Good job Hollywood, bad job West Coast. Take a good hard look at yourself. Finally, Adelaide Brisbane ninety eight job, Yeah, give me some extra time. What's oh shut up? What happens to tips?

You get a tip?

So Adelaide, Darcy.

Foggy this was the finally stood up and was like, I'm the man kicked four Archie's calum Archie is not the man.

I'm just like cool, like, you'll never do it again. He's surely that's calum Archie's.

I've never seen it.

But Isaac Crankin started in the midfield and he had one of his best games of the season so far.

Thro twenty touches.

I was actually all over the ranking stuff with for betting stuff, just because I'm like, they're going to actually finally do something at home, and he'll be in the thick of it. You could see it leading to this over the last few weeks. Finally they do, unfortunately ends up thirteen twelve thirteen twelve zy, which is hilarious because it just puts both of their seasons on hold for one more week.

Yeah, they're like, ah, he's probably win.

There's four points to be better than two. Yeah, I'll still take it for Adelaide. Look that they should have won. They were points down and they just kick came all the way, they came back, they came back, they gave up that last goal and then they gave a point. They scored the next point, the last point.

That's pretty even.

Yeah, sounds tricky. I don't know what do you make of Adelaide'll be dangerous.

They've been the most disappointing team I think this year.

The top four. Yeah, that's just because I think they've got a great list. Clearly the most disappointing team this year. They made the Grand Five and they stink.

They've got a lot of injuries, now though, which isn't helping.

Yeah, so this could be. Well, they've got Richmond next week, so they'll get another win.

Is that Brisbane? Yeah? Up there? So I called the team from the season from Hell team. Yeah, I called that Brisbane like Week two did. And I'm like, I'm still not being proven wrong.

It is often one of the Grand Final teams, usually the one that loses somebody one.

Start of last year with the Year from Hell all the injuries and last year Bulldogs both struggled after making Grand Finals.

All right, tipping results, I think you've got seven.

It means because you got a tip for a drill, that's where you got six.

Yeah, I got five or six? Yeah after check nice I didn't actually put mine into It.

Was actually a hard week. But if you seven, still seven, still good?

A right for grounded the ball always best team that we saw in round no be Sydney. They looked unreal. I mean it was annoying and it was hard to sort of separate the idea that they were playing free on Friday night. But at the same time, my pick for this was gonna be Sidney Essen And because I couldn't give it to Carlson, probably not they looked awesome, but you trust because you're like, what's going to happen now?

And I don't know.

So it's Sydney. They looked inexulable. They never looked that.

Yeah, well they won their last I think it's three or four games over there. Now I'm beating Freo their last three times over.

There, and they've beaten West Coast a few times.

But you feel like the winner of next week's game Sydney and Carlton is probably the team of the week, no matter what.

I haven't actually looked.

Sydney.

Yes, if Carlton went still probably not. Uh gross, So I think you were going to say you're Sidney anyway when yeah, I.

Was going to say this one's as well. But because you had it a roll of Port like going wight to save this season, Yeah, that's it.

That was great, no matter them almost losing it.

Were talking to people I know from Adelaie.

It's like if Port, if they go win loss, win loss, win loss, it's all right because the people don't start hating massively.

But if they lose three or four in a row, the knives come out.

Because they can't remember. Two weeks ago. I got a problems report pretty much. That's boy Essendon gross.

I don't really like talking about it.

Wait right, Yes they were amazing, so that's a fantastic They are the best teams.

Tell me, not the best team in the comp But I had no hope. I don't didn't think they were going to be jobs. So many depths, players that I thought weren't very good players coming up this year and playing well, like Gelfie popping up.

You got so many other guys pop.

Future Brown, their medalist, Nick Kind.

Yeah, other than other than Nick Kind, Langford becoming a powerful and just kicking goals every week and then they're only considered three j WS goals in the second half.

That's the biggest start of the weekend.

I well, for you're going off was chaos, Like two minut of Peter doing not a giant amount. It's kicking goal, but he was like pushed up the field a lot of this, and you're like, that's actually probably better.

The last two years they're like, let me has to kick six.

And Langford cook, he's a weapon. This is a surprise. Is probably their most important player. I love him in front of zerr It right, Zarah's handy, cool Langford is unreal.

I love that.

I absolutely love Essen just saying best on ground of the week. I didn't realize I stole Alex's here as well. Incredible combination combination Cripper and Walsh they were. There was absolutely no way Carlton win that game on Thursday if it wasn't for Walsh and Crips in the contest and in terms of contested possessions and all that sort of stuff. It's the one thing that Carlton can basically hang its hat on is that the way that they still cook games like this, right, and they had twenty less inside fifties than Melbourne and somehow won this game is that.

It's to worry about Melbourn's Ford line. Yeah, what we've been saying for you get down the yelling about for a year.

But it's like the clearances, they were right there with it as well. They won the contested possession because of those dudes and look they were incredible. Love that. But on the other side, he was watching Petrarca and he's almost won the game single handedly.

Crazy.

One of the most impressive performances will see the single player all year. Just like boys jump on my back I'm going to lift you there. Yeah he was there, and then shout out to Heney twenty eight six core involvements, eight clearances, not bad, that's boy.

I think it has to be Zacch. Butter's everyone's talking up Horn Francis. He's sort of the flashy guy at Port. But Butters does the in ANDU. But he is very flashy as well. But I think he does all the in and underwork.

That hate Jason he really does for some reason.

I you what I do, but he's not that.

He's not totally sure why that could be, though, I think he's He's not as good a players, but.

He's an amazing bath.

How much better with North Melbourne be? With Jason Horn, Francis and Harley Reed.

We'd still be last week zero?

No, you wouldn't because you wouldn't have drafted Midfieldersood basically came second last one year and then the reckon the Grand finally year and older mean you guys, yeah, just imagine because.

Read bad Blam. We don't need him bad Blam. We don't need read bad bad blamb.

You would be so much better with Harley Read and Jason Horn still be on zero wins I'm standing you would have won two games.

We have Aid and Core playing Zach Fisher playing with anyway, that's another exact Fish played right.

Anyway.

Fisher was great for once.

Zach Butter is definitely my best one. Great of the week. You just like all zas old mate, nomad or do you want to throw anything else? Old mate, no mates? Ross Lyon stolen again. I didn't realize I sell this one. There was also Roland Marshall the same game, but the old mate, old mate, no mates. The vibe of this is like ross Lyon. The reason he has a gig is because of his mates. Yeah, his old mate at the moment though, because the shine it's wearing off, Yes, the shine, the ross Lions shine of like ah, I've come in, I've fixed our woes five months. Let's absolutely brutal. So they make the finals last year. They are currently sitting there with three and six, as I said, and.

They got pumped in the finals.

They the big big sound.

I think the worst part is you watch us and killed the game and you're like, what is their plan?

They've just got guys that panic a lot, Yeah, like panics. I think been Panicinghi.

Last year is their best player. Last year, you just go, look, they want to use these clamps. You wanted to use these clamps, so we're gonna break out the clamps. We're going to use a climp clam. Great. It was horrible football, but it was effective. So far this year everyone's gone to put on the clamps. Yeah, and it's just ridiculous. The worst part is he's like out there blaming runners. He's just blaming everybody else.

Classic deflection to try and be like, oh, my job's an under pressure it's right now.

You just say, well, we've been crapped.

And I think the worst part is that he's trying to be like David King or kne Corn's not a coach, but it's like he's basically trying to give the media talking points that aren't about him, and I'm like, that's not good. And luckily you've still got mates in the media because they're not blow torching him. But get it absolutely right there, ross Lyne should be under the blow torch.

Sin killed his top nine goal scoraship last year, Jack Higgins suspended, uh Butler injured injured, but he's been horrible. King struggling, Owen struggling, Gresham's at Essendon, Cam and Edie had that one good game. Cooper Sharman can't get near it. Mason would play three games. And philipo is.

He's just dropped off the face of this year. Are you throwing dropped this week?

Right?

And then and then you're throwing Tim Membury who he will take a mark and kick a long goal.

But that's men member Tim memory member anyway. Robald Marshall talking about old mate not mates, well, they lost the game. Taking kicking is taking a kickout. He just wanted to be like his heroes him English just fine. He kicks it out directly to get him. It doesn't cost them the game directly, but jeeze him and sprayed it. But either way, weird game, strange game, ross line blowtorch. Here we go.

That's what I need to do a f L Coaches Power rankings week on week we.

Should actually ross down the bottom. We can do a couple of them. My old ma no mates, Mark O'Connor. I think that's his first mention on the show. He just he just seems the first, okay because he's Irish. Just because you're a part.

Ris or something, you didn't even know who he was before.

The show, so understanding.

Literally didn't know who it was anyway.

Connor, he's literally running and Alex Mark taking oh my guys out the back of He did that three times.

All of his teammates.

Tom Short's like, what the hell are you doing?

Played footy mate?

He did it, and he did in the last quarter. Cost in the game, so I'm a big guy.

Oh no, mates, Mullen was Mullen guy's.

Chaos game. That one though my computer, Alex.

Ree Stanley, if you're getting ten minutes into the second quarter, you are literally old mate, No mates, no mates.

Coach like, get him off, come on, he lives in.

It's when half time was in the standar for a.

Surf manyeh, you know right, guys laf top die. Yeah, I don't I know what The last thing. The other one is why I can't stand politicians in footage. That was politicians in footage. I just think it's weird how we lionize this idea of like, look, Julia Gillard bulldog supporter, cool full muff. That's all right, that's fine, getting around like the Hawks, fine full muff. Even Cole's playing as a Sharks fan was a fake doesn't. I just can't stand the way that we go, Oh well, they're just nerds. They're politicians.

Who cares. We are one of the countries.

Checking the super coach scores at halftime as well.

You know.

If elbows down there, it's like get a stadium deal done?

Like, what are you doing?

Why are you in your circle like this? I think that's probably the weirdest part. That was weird getting in this circle. It's like, you didn't contribute to this win.

They did.

It's fine, which as a player, why do you think in general, if we're going to yell at athletes, stick to sports, politicians get out of sports. I mean, they should do their jobs rather than god job. You just do your job. Also, I mean I also can'nderstand Pies fans complaining about Marvel. No one cares, but it's it's so unfair.

It's like you're literally contracted to place and too.

Many games that anyways, Carlton, like, look, our home ground is the MSG and Marvel.

Yeah, but it's literally a contest.

But I know, I know Collingwood fans might not be able to grasp the legal concept of a contract.

They do struggle with the idea of like legal contracts that aren't like their actual additions. Their ideas are like having to stay fifty yards away from there other like you know, spouses. We've got lots of I don't want to say anymore, Alex, What can't you stand?

We are a billion dollar industry in the AFL.

You are.

The AFL is a billion multi billion dollar industry. Correct it is.

What is one of the most important things when coming to watching the game of football when you're watching on TV having a correct call, having a correct call.

So why when a game makes so much money do we have Dwayne Russell sitting in his studio.

This god ayes kick.

No, you can't tell you.

I think he missed it.

Get him to the ground calling the games. Fork out the two hundred dollars for the jet Star flights.

Seriously, you are taking nine games per around next year to call all games. I don't care if it's Adam Pipalia, it Fremance will calling all the games flying around Australia.

Honestly, just do your job because they don't know what's going on. And then Marcus, she was like, boys, the someone on the ground, you need to get a camera on it. It's like guys go to the ground.

Yep, seriously, how he's just trying his best the IPL at the moment and you know what at the ground. Yeah, exactly.

Uh, I'm sick of listening to Durman his studio talking about the swamps.

I love Derm, but just kidding.

It is a Twitter favorite.

Oh yeah, it is just weird.

It's like Kelly Underwood and Durmot sitting in a studio, Dermot rabbiting on about one thing that he's thought about that why is he still talking about that? I loved her and Kelly just go, he's kicked. No, he hasn't kicked that. Dwayne rossego, I think he's kicked.

We can't see him. No hatred on them. They're they're literally stuck by that are with.

The Basically, it's not their fault.

It's not there. They're calling what they can see and what they should be able to see is stuff while they're at the gend, whereas.

SCN flies their radio callers to the ground shout out to our man, Phil.

I also think it's weird, like just have local commentators for everything.

So that's my thing for next year. It's like, so I was listening to we've never had that.

I was listening to.

Triple Am on the drive into the Adelaide Brisbane game. The dude who was Rett Biglin's was one of the calls, which was wild.

But the other guy, I thought, I thought the other guy, I thought it was very dead and then I heard, oh ya, what do you think?

He had the best voice? Sign him up for the Adelaide games for TV next year. I don't care. He's great, nice, nice at the ground. Stats boy, what can't you stand?

I would have talked about this before. Collingwood fan grabbing Harvey Johnson. The ball's gone over the bandolin Harvey Johnson of West Coast. The ball's gone over the band line. The fan gets it, scraffles the West Coast players here around there around the fans should not touch players in any sport.

What what the hell is he doing?

The commentators were laughing about it was funny handble get stuff to go.

But he faced, he looked like a big enough what are you doing? Touch? You should never touch a player. Harvey Johnson just laughed it off. Thank god. I would have been a bit like a bit nervous if.

I was in That was as we said, James would have in the stand exactly.

So I don't know.

I just can't stand fans A right, your front row, you want to be front row, You just paid for your seat fair enough.

You don't step on the ground or you don't touch players. That's dumb move.

So should he get fined it's not a public holidayven though it's Mother's Day. I don't think he gets fined the nine nine hundred.

Dollars, oh what like for stepping on Nah. I think he's paid in cash. I think he's lucky that.

In a in a paper bag.

I also I also worried, like, yeah, if it's Collingwood fans touching players, that's it feels four times worse.

It does.

It does because there's just so many other repercussions like STD. What are they called STIs there you go, I don't know, just transmissible diseases in general.

That's guys are known as TJ.

We just probably know that they weren't able to bite them probably anyway, quick super coach wash, big, big, big week in Super Coach in terms of we had some huge scores for some players. I'm just I'm just tweaking your nose there, colling goood fans. I love you as well. I think you're the best team in the AFL.

Best team in this episode.

Robert Marshall had one hundred and sixty four. Ed Richards has been in the mid. They keep playing in the middle because the liver is just cooked and liver is literally not playing right.

Jordan Dawson just ripped off one forty two love scaling.

So one sixty three friend Richards, Oli Wines as mentioned Brownlow winner Oi Wines one fifty seven True Law top one fifty so wrong had the one fifty in decos. Who was everybody and your Mum's dog there pick for captain this week? Yes, if you had been listening to the Official Super Coach podcast on him. Yeah, Jim Pendles Butter's also one hundred and forty seven as well. Dawson one forty two, ranking one forty two.
