Could be a preliminary final early look in Tasmanian Brisbane. Clear strategy for me, it's all in on the Tasmanian game, Hawthorn and the Giants. I feel like I've got more exposed form available to me from Brisbane and the Geelong. So I'll be tuned into Hawthorn and the Giants and I'll be taking the ten minutes by four forty minutes will give me good enough insight to work out how much of that I watched the next day. But it's a cracking Saturday night.

It is a shame they're overlapping, but that's this is the postpone game, so there's nothing that can be done about that. Coming up to night, we have Simo and Horse, so John Longmarra is here at the desk the first time Simo's over in Perth. To present the refuse room. Simon Goodwin is going to join us as well, and the teams are in for Esenon and Port Adelaide, and there's many a story to tell, a couple of really uplifting stories as well, given the pressure that is on, and then First Crack Preview about to come to life straight after us. Jay Clark has here to wrangle David King and Lee Montagna and tell you what to look out for D Day, D Day for Ossie Broadband, Who is it?

Take me to Perth, Take me to the Derby, Take me to Freemantle again, Freemantle. You can't lose the derby. If you're Freemantle, you can't go. If you do lose a Derby and you go zero three, that's got all sorts of nightmare written all over it. So the D Day for me is frio much improved showing by West Coast against Brisbane and Andrew mcqualter. But this just can't be lost. It's as simple as that they were good, they were good for against the good Sydney side and they lost in the last minute. So that's it for me. There can be no other result if you're as sociated with the freemantal footage and that'll be richly motivating for West Coast. Indeed it will. They'd love nothing more than to make sure that that bright, bright torch heads its way to Freemantle. But I think they'll get done.

What about your Gold Coasts only trip to the MCG this year, roadkill last year. That's the one thing holding them back. It's so easy to imagine how Damien Hardwick frames this. This is where you want to be, this is the home of football, This is our moment to rise. Are we ready for it? Are we going to meet this? Throughout Gold Coast history, they haven't met these moments and it's impossible to get a read on them because they've gone postpones thrash West Coast and who knows what that form is worth.

So we've seen them once where they got their winning the West. Now they come to face a team that if they're going to amount to their Hill of Beans this year, you've got to go past Melbourne.

I got to imagine that that's this part of the cell from Dimmer as well. We're going to team who are vulnerable under pressure. Two Mila back mac Andrew Beck in the side. I nearly went with that when I was too scared. Yeah, the fortitude I didn't. They have to earn our trust, Yeah they do, and it'll be it's coming a good time, well, a good time at the venue, and the opponent is about right for them. Beat them if you're any good, beat them all right.

Sometimes it can look like you're not trying, not giving effort, and there's definitely effort, and there's there's real maximum effort, clearly, but I think for us at funt like guys were just off and then a snowballs and compounds into some really disastrous change.

I wouldn't concede that we're not capable of competing every week. I mean, we have a team that I think is capable, and we have some players that I think have call a potential or call a capability. But we've got to get the best out of that capability.

We said all the time, winning and losing a bit. We we know our industries at performance based industry, and where demands on us. I had to turn up and be ready to go again. Big a picture, a bit more than just one game. So we you know, we look at three or four their whole pre season and what they've been able to do and you know they've you know, they've still been able to do some really good stuff and you know they've seen him play some good footy this year. Even last week they still caught it, scored one hundred points there. They're very capable team. They've played against the team last week who were in really good form. So the challenge for us to expect their absolute best.

That's the setup. The narratives are Rich Fox footing tomorrow night from Marvel Essendon and Port Adelaide. So the broad in the moment, the narrow. First, the teams are in Gas. There's these two. There's a lot of similarities here. They are deep into their lists early in the season. So with that has come opportunity for the Bombers. It means that Sarda al Hooley is going to get his firm look at senior footy. So he's come through altona Werriby. It's mid season pick up last year from the Northern Bullouts. He had this one moment of VFL game where he kicks for and he beats Carlton, so.

Soldo was briefly warn away during the trade period, but he's going to play. It's only the second time that he and Sweet will have played in the same team together. Jones, Burton Lacosia is all injured, so they're in the grip of it. And Tom Cochran, whose wonderful stories. It might have been enough that he's a third generation football in South Australia. His father Stuart played for Port and for North Melbourne. His grandfather Richard played for Central Districts. But he's got Turet's and it is the cliched movie Turets where he's got the vocal tick where he swears and rather than it being in him, he has chased his league footing dream. He has been embraced into the Port Adelaide family and here he is in round three on senior deboos.

I heard Ken talk on radio when I was driving in about the fact that he got up and explained himself or talked in front of the group, and he said, from that moment on, we just knew that we had something pretty special. And these are great footy stories. You know, this is football mirror's life in lots of ways, and the challenges come at you from all different angles. And I know nothing about threats other than you know you see on the superficial front. But I would imagine going into a football environment where you are self conscious enough as a young man is really challenging. They're tough environments footy clubs because they pick up on lots of things, but they're also wonderfully embracing when you are able to be up front and honest, and that's apparently what this young man is. So I love the story. I love watching debutantes play anyway, but I'll be watching especially closely when they run out on Thursday night.

All right, the bomber. It's been the week that they have lived fiercely under the microscope. There's effort, and there's maximum effort. As Zach Merritt said to us, we'd want to see maximum effort.

I feel like we're as well placed as any people in the country who've had the coach in here and then we've had the captain in here this week in the build up, so it's you know, you sit back, Now, what do they do? What do they focus on?

It?

It?

It is about effort. You ride the excitement of el Huli the debutante. You back over the fact that Tom Edmunds debut the week before, you try and make it, knowing to the rest of the group that there is this This is an opportunity to be great, not an opportunity to fail. You know, all these cliches are real when you're in the grip of this and you go back to so put Adelaide have been flogged and they've flogged a team, So you go back to what worked for Collingwood and I just had a look at one thing. They fifteen tackles inside their Ford fifty Collingwood against Port Adelaide when they beat them. So there's a simple focus for that group because both ends of the ground got horribly exposed against Adelaide and their Ford group couldn't keep the buddy the footy in the area at all. It worked for him against Port Adelaide. Focus on that Kako will you know he will. I like the fact that Brad said Josh Caddy looked like you wanted to punch him when he put him on the sub. So harness all that energy put it a feeling squarely at their feet. And you know, you look at the two teams and put Adelaide and on paper they're not that far apart Adelaide. You know they've got some challenges as well. They bounce back really well. But it was against Richmond. We know we Richurn a rap. So make no mistake. By the time Sarah and Jason and the team sit down, An absolutely convinced they can win and as our Port Adelaide.

So that's part of the charm of being in a footy club. So you go through this is where we failed, this is how we failed. This is our plan. We all buy into the plan and we drive the game, believe and we're going to win.

Yeah, and I've played in some really poor sides. I don't think there was ever I got to game day where the coach hadn't done a good enough job to get your head back in the game and say, yeah, we're a chance so follow the lead. Merit will lead. Durham a lead, CaCO is excited, follow their lead and get on board and see if you can put some pressure on. And from a port adelaide point of view, they want to put doubt back in the mind as quickly as they can, so the start for them become super important.

So they are able to balance up as they lived this week previously and they met you know, they were at home against Richmonds, Who've got to keep that in context. But by the end of that they would have a lot of them would have been feeling really good about themselves.

No, that's obvious in the changes. So again there's opportunity there. And look clearly they had a great response again, but you want to put doubt into their mind as well, so it's winnable. Fastened it. They will firmly believe it. So as I said, but the bulls bounced. You sit down in front of the telly when Matthew Lloyd comes out, and Matthew's a really he's a powerful voice. He's he's and should be listened to. He's a really good freey man. And he says that there would want almost dares them not to respond. That makes for interesting mate watching. When it's not your team, it's almost macab. You sit there and go, well, they better yep if they don't, let's see what happens.
