G'day listeners and welcome back to another episode of The Keeper League podcast.

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,560
With the AFL Fantasy podcast, it doesn't talk about the surf stars.

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,960
We only talk about the lesser-known's and the players who will bring value to your draft

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,520
and Keeper League teams. My name is Heff and this week I'm joined by Jake from Hatchat. How are you?

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,640
Hello, Maze. Thank you for welcoming back to you. Heff has been about a year, I think.

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,280
Yeah, it's been a while since mid last year.

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,880
Placed a little good. Does it worry that I refer to you as Jake from Hatchat?

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,480
It's not your surname from Hatchat.

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,800
No, that's fine. I don't think we're pretty normal with that.

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,320
It's not that my name is hidden on the internet, but at the same time, I'll keep a little bit of anonymity

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680
at the post. Yeah, no, that's all right. You are your own fantasy man.

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Not this year, I'm not.

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Okay. Well, let's jump into that. How's everything going? Let's talk about, I know your

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,800
your FF Fantasy podcast is based around the classic format. So a quick update on that,

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,280
but also how you drive, how you keep lead teams going, all that sort of stuff.

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,720
I'm quite frankly not preferred to talk about the drafts in the Keeper League, because that's why I'm here.

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,640
I'm going for a regular spot because the classic side of things has been a bit disappointing.

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,480
Yeah. Pretty poor start, 56k after round one, coming in week after week after week, which has been

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,320
great, but this week another little slide didn't quite hit the 2k mark, which for best 22

21
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,400
just isn't good enough and slid outside the 10k. So, yeah, I might be losing my spot

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,960
on my pod, but hopefully I can make a name for myself here. I've got a few draft leagues

23
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,480
ticking along very nicely. All right, let's go through those. What's your number one?

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200
Home League, undefeated, which is pretty good. Oh, awesome.

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,240
That's the league you want to be undefeated in. Is that with any, that's not with any of the hatchet,

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,480
does. That's a lot of the hatchet boys. It's been running for about eight years.

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Billy Goats Cup, shout out to all the boys from the soccer club there. I know there's a couple

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,600
of listeners. The boys tend to call me out when the TikToks go up. They end up in the grip chat,

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,320
so I think of that. Yeah, no problems. Are the FFines involved in that?

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Not in that group, not as part of the league, but there is as part of the soccer club.

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Yeah, so we get caught out in the TikTok. I'll put plenty out this week for you.

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,400
Thank you mate, appreciate that. Soccer club be richer.

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Yeah, I think one other team's undefeated. I've got them about two weeks, so

34
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,040
the boys are coming along nicely. Four keeper leagues, which I think I'm your wrong.

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000
I love a good keeper. Four might have been too many. I think there might be one too many.

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Yeah, I'm only into these days and I couldn't handle another one, I don't think.

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,480
Yeah, four was definitely too many. A couple of them taking along nicely. The one with the hat

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760
chat boys, if anyone was listening to me last year, knows I was struggling.

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Yeah, still a bit of struggle to have this year. A lot of injuries, I think I've copped five of my

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,200
starting six in the back line or injured, and it's no wavers keeper. That one is a pit season free

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480
agency. So we're struggling there, but the others, we're taking along very nicely.

42
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Well, that's good to hear. Probably better than mine is going at the moment.

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,080
I was undefeated up until around five. Come up against the team ranked number

44
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,520
two and three below me and they both beat me in the last two weeks. So they mean close, close

45
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,080
each game. So like 47 points in about 80 points. A bit of a flat track, believe it? I think so.

46
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,640
Yeah, I was actually surprised I started as well as I did, but when you start going to write,

47
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:08,880
you're like, maybe this could go okay. Maybe I'm around the mark and then you come up against

48
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,440
some of the good opposition and yeah, team just shits the bed. I benched Jack Lloyd for the first

49
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,600
time this season. That's a week to do it. Yeah, so that's how good that one went and just two

50
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,800
subs and things like that too got subbed off. So yeah, I think round six is when stuff starts to happen.

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,640
DPP is kind of coming to play a little bit more. So teams that are a bit more well-rounded have a

52
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:32,960
bit of flexibility. You guys have a cream rosters. Yeah, guys like Massimo Dan Broseo, who

53
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,440
you know, round one two superstars turned into absolute flopped after about round six.

54
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,520
And yeah, but anyway, we'll see how that goes. We won't bore people too much with my team.

55
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:48,720
What will get people excited about is spinning the wheel. Now we're involved in the live show.

56
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,600
You bid witness to what the wheel can do to a crowd of, uh, I have a fantasy punters. I was at the

57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,920
straighters last week, week before, my everything's blurring and I was just thinking I just wanted to start

58
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,600
the channel. I wanted to set them up to spin a wheel because the series, nothing more exciting.

59
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,040
For context, we spun the wheel for prize winners at the, um, at the live show that we did at the

60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,800
elephant over gather round and it turned out that people didn't even want to hear what we were

61
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,160
talking about. They just wanted to keep spinning the wheel to see people coming up. There wasn't

62
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680
even any prizes left on offer, but they still wanted the wheel to keep spinning, but think of the

63
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,400
epitome of that was offered to buy some water drink and we spun the wheel to be only underage person

64
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,800
landed landed. So, uh, I don't know if we have that getting in the drink, honestly, but when he's 18,

65
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,240
almost ended up with a, with a fine for that one, so I did give him some game day squad cards,

66
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,200
uh, to make up for it. So hopefully that worked out. Anyway, uh, let's spin the wheel. You're

67
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,720
here in the room to prove that the wheel is actually spinning. If your name comes up,

68
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,240
if your team name comes up, getting contact with me and I will send you the pack that you could win,

69
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,800
um, you just have to confirm it's you and congratulations to this week's winner. Do you want to

70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,520
read it out for us, Jay? Uh, such is five, which is a week for it too, because that five may be back.

71
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Absolutely. Such is five well done and five will talk about him later on in the show, but, uh,

72
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,680
such as five is the winner. I'm getting contact with me on any of the socials or via email, um,

73
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,160
and I will sort you out of that pack. You just have to confirm your email address. And yeah,

74
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,280
if you want to sign up and try to win a game day squad pack, there is a link in the description below.

75
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:21,760
It's just a Google form, put your name down. Don't enter more than once. There's been a few people

76
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,600
that have done that. So, uh, it doesn't give you any more chances. I go through and filter it. So,

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,440
um, yeah, just put your name down. I'll spin the wheel each week and try to win you a pack. So,

78
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:36,000
well done, such is five. I look forward to hearing from you during the week. Uh, now if you want to

79
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,600
support the show, uh, make sure you jump on as a member doing a bit of a drive. We did have a good

80
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,040
uptick of, uh, members this year, but the thing you kind of don't factor in is like some people don't

81
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,440
continue on as well. So they drop off a little bit as well. So, um, yeah, anyone who's dropped off,

82
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,960
or if you haven't signed up yet and you do listen to the show each week, please consider supporting

83
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,560
the show. Um, so yeah, we can continue going on into the future because it is quite vital these days.

84
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Anyways, uh, let's get into the round review. The first game. Now, this was a super long round,

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680
wasn't it? It was a weird one, starting on a Wednesday, which I thought would be a great segue

86
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,400
into this game because in three of my four keepers, uh, completely forgot about the Wednesday night games,

87
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,200
and I happened to cop, uh, shy Bolton, uh, he was with Liam Baker, Steven May in two and three

88
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,880
leagues all on the bench. So that was a bit of fun for me. Oh, that yeah, because of the buy last week,

89
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,320
you're right. Um, that would have been, I mean, Melbourne had a buy two, did they? They both came off the

90
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,120
buy as well as the early game, which is, again, great. Um, when you don't have four leagues, four leagues,

91
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,360
you lose track of control. Now, 100% don't give me more than two leagues. I think it was the

92
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,640
key of the story there. Um, first one, Thompson Dow. There's been so much down news lately, uh,

93
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Patty made his day boo, uh, last week. Thompson Dow probably had his first good game in the midfield

94
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,400
this year. Um, squad 88 points, and he also had 110 in super coach as well. I saw Dossie putting

95
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,240
out a few memes on Twitter. Could we be seeing the rise of Thompson Dow? Did the song get a

96
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000
resurgence? No. Well, there's a patty Dow. Actually, if there's an Easter egg in the end of that,

97
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Dossie, if you're in the fade out bit, Dossie actually sings patty Thompson Dow.

98
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,600
There you go. Yeah. See? So an owner in three of my four

99
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,120
keep a leagues. Actually, I'm, I got in pretty late this year. I was pretty hot on the fact that he'd

100
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,360
be playing best 22, which he is less hot on his scoring capabilities. Obviously. Um, I don't know

101
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040
that we're going to see a massive rise, but it was certainly great to see that he has a denim.

102
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Yeah. Um, I think eight tackles this week after putting 10 in since round one. So, um,

103
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,040
averaging two at eight now, if that's sustainable, probably not, but the fact that he's added that

104
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,000
element to his game, at least had the opportunity to do so. Um, good news for owners. Absolutely.

105
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Yeah. I think so. Like, I'm not super sold on either. I'm not expecting anything, but the one thing is

106
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,120
that that Richmond midfield is going through a huge transition at the moment, especially with

107
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,760
Toronto outhoppers re-engine himself, Presti is out. Like, they're going to be trying a few bits and

108
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:58,240
pieces. Um, the other one was, um, Marlon Pickett had a huge uptick in CBAs this week. And I

109
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,760
just called the 74. I think he's in mid-owned in the anyway. So it's nothing to get excited about.

110
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,840
But just kind of further evidence that they're trying things with that midfield. So players like

111
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,320
Thompson Dow and you might find, you know, we might find, came a call of back in the side pretty soon as well.

112
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,120
That might put up some decent scores as a first-year player given that he was a good underage score

113
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,840
as well. And they're missing a kind of player of his, you know, true inside caliber. Yeah, we think as well.

114
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,000
If you look at the CBAs, you start with Pickett and then you slide in the end of Boulder and Baker,

115
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,680
who, yeah, Boulder and Baker, I should say, who clearly have other roles in the team that they

116
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,400
could feel, um, and then hopper re-injured and then Thompson Dow. So it's going to be really

117
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,920
interesting to see what that midfield looks like in the next 12 months. And as a Dow owner, at least,

118
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,520
you know, that they've brought him quite highly. A lot of Richmond supporters haven't given me

119
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,760
the same feedback. But hey, um, if he coached likes him, then it's good for your fans, you know.

120
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,680
Um, the only other one for Richmond was Hugo Rousemith, who popped up, but with an 80-point

121
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,680
game, playing on the wing as opposed to the halfback flank as much this week, I'm not buying into it,

122
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,200
but I thought I was mentioning it is something that we'll keep an eye on over the next week or so.

123
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,320
Um, Trent Rivers had 104 points. Do you think this is a result of just Christian Salem being out of the

124
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,360
side? I think it is, although leading into the preseason, a lot of Trent Rivers hype and a lot of

125
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,880
expectation to have him a bit more of distribution of the ball. Um, again, if you're an owner, I start

126
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,560
to look at these things and go, "Oh, the people who are in, is there someone that's going to buy into

127
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,240
being more than Christian Salem hype?" And then you can look at starting to trade on. I don't think

128
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,720
Trent Rivers is a guy. You're going to be fighting on waivers in almost any lead. So really, it's going to

129
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,760
be how hype dizzy and can I maybe flip him at a time where his price is higher than normal, but you'd

130
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,680
be pretty happy, again, take the injuries into a can as an owner and take the wins and the uptick

131
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:36,480
in scoring if you can. Um, yeah, no, I do think like maybe there might have been like a 10-15 point

132
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,040
uptick with Salem out, but he's still like an 80 plus guy without him. So, no, Trent Rivers is not

133
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,800
going to be available until any way of worth, so it doesn't really matter. Um, the one guy who is

134
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,280
appearing on way of wise is Ed Langdon as well. So, and it's kind of weird because he's dropped

135
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,440
under that 40% iron, but he's put up back to back good scores now. So, I'm in the Shoeva league and it is

136
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,560
just, it's so hard to find good mids if he's somehow available there, get him, but those leagues are

137
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,920
pretty switched on with their waivers. Yeah, they're kind of the perfect guy that usually sits as a

138
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,320
fringe player. Yeah, M7, depending how deep your league goes. Yeah, and it'll come on and he'll score

139
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,160
and he'll play every week, which in that midfield, I'm the last year we were talking about Kononash,

140
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,760
it was so deep in the draft that you managed to find Kononash. Yeah, she's got a good memory.

141
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Yeah, thanks mate. I like the thing, so, um, but there's just guys like that this year. I've got a

142
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,240
couple of drafts that I'm looking for a mid, um, I had four midfielders out and I was not a single

143
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,560
mid available that's played in the last couple of weeks on the way, so it's, it's tough going out there.

144
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,440
There are a thousand. Um, Steven May, now this is a serious question which I never thought would get to.

145
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,800
102 points is he too good for the podcast? Now, he had a 46 point first quarter and it was pretty

146
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,000
funny like my five year old son, we were chanting Steven May from the couch on, uh, on Wednesday night.

147
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,720
Steven May, he thought it was the funnest thing ever because every time we got a touch, we would go off

148
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,520
and, uh, look, he's averaging seven hours for the season, but he had an injury affected score of,

149
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,160
I think, 29 or something like that in there. I know that was in a half of 47. Probably would have been a

150
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,440
stinky score anyway, but we'll write that one off, uh, because we are selected for our stats. Um,

151
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,400
he's only scored 80 under once under, under 80 once this season without that injury,

152
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,120
effect score and that was a 70. So what do you think? He's averaging, yeah, 79 probably 80 without that

153
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,680
in, in, in your effect, the score. It's an interesting one. Steven May is someone I've always been a

154
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,800
fan of. He's tended to be in a lot more of my draft teams each year than I would like to admit. Um,

155
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,080
but this year, I think there's that uptick in kick-ins. He seems to be taking the kick-ins week in

156
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,640
week out and just a little bit slower movement. Yeah. Um, allowing some of the, the good foot

157
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,320
skills players to get involved. I don't know that I'd say he's too good for the podcast. I'm not sure I

158
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,520
quite stretched that far. No. But again, absolutely. He looks like that's what he's going to be doing

159
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,200
for the rest of the year. I don't think we're looking at something that is not consistent or sustainable.

160
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,720
So what is the, what is the average for the rest of the year? What's his average? Come the end of

161
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,760
this season. Come the end of the season. I, I'd like to say it's that mid to, more low to mid 80s.

162
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Yeah. It's probably where I see it. Yeah. I, I see a few more lower games coming. I think it's

163
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,920
probably around the, the 79 mark that it is is probably close to where it's going to finish,

164
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,920
I think, but that look pretty handy own for people that picked him up because it would have been

165
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,400
late in your drafts as well. I got, I actually had a question come through on discord.

166
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Would you drop Steven Maid's pick up Jace Burgoyne? Surely. Oh, like how, in my first thought is

167
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,240
how thin is your league to those of you two? Yeah. I look at most of my own leagues and I'm thinking

168
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,120
there is, there's got to be someone else. Yeah. Just with flexibility, DPP and otherwise. I wouldn't

169
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,520
personally all be it. There's a feminine excitement coming from there, but I'll leave that to you.

170
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,280
We've got that coming up. I thought, I thought the same because Steven Maid's just so safe for like

171
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,080
that 70 each week. So I wouldn't be dropping him. Whereas someone like Burgoyne could be in and

172
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:50,320
out of the side as if things don't go his way. Tip of the cap to Jake Leaver, 96 points there.

173
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:58,000
Cosy Pickett had 84 points. So kick two goals and had nine CBAs, which was I think a quite an

174
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,640
uptick for him in comparison to last week. I will get the numbers up in a second, but what are your

175
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,280
thoughts? Because like, if you didn't keep those two goals, like he's still not going 80 plus. So I

176
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,120
don't think like a lot of people get excited over the CBAs, but I don't know. Do you think that's

177
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,360
something we really do get excited about about Cosy Pickett or do you think it's still it's still

178
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:26,080
dependent on how well he goes in the scoring? So he had nine CBAs, which was 43% last week compared to

179
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,480
the four CBAs. So he had five extra this week. I think the thing that comes into my mind again,

180
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,360
I'm going back to 2023 and I'm thinking of Stado, you know, classic. I think bringing in Cosy Pickett

181
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,880
early in the year. Yeah. A couple of boom scores in the game. Absolutely let down by around 4 or 5.

182
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,280
And we see this right. I think matchup dependent, probably similar to an Isaac Rankin. You can

183
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,520
absolutely see weeks where his scoring is going to be impressive and he's going to be getting a

184
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,600
really nice role in the same vein. You're going to see plenty of weeks where he gets no CBAs. He's

185
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,840
going to be playing a deep forward. With guys like this, I like to look at matchups. And if they've

186
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,080
got some soft matchups in their run coming up, that's the perfect time to be streaming and getting

187
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,160
on the field. Good thinking. Because regardless of the CBAs, if he's going to kick three or four,

188
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,560
you're going to be pretty happy with that score. The Melbourne midfield, I mean, their scoring has

189
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:16,000
actually been deplorable all year thus far, you know, the down trading, Petraca, Oliver Viny, it's not

190
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,680
the roles of necessarily change, but they're actually not scoring well in that midfield. So

191
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,040
yeah, to be perfectly honest, on that note, I wouldn't actually be wanting to bring someone in

192
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,480
necessarily who's playing in the Melbourne midfield right now as well. That's fair point. Yeah,

193
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,000
so yeah, no, I'm on the page of the day. I think it's probably one of those things we just need to stop.

194
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,200
I feel like every time we get CBAs, we start talking about them, but I think it's something we have to

195
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,440
start ignoring on the podcast because it doesn't seem to affect things too much. Another tip of the

196
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,240
cap to Daniel Turner who scored 84 points scored three goals there. It was pretty impressive. I think

197
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,200
it was his first goals of, you know, he was I felt for that. That's what I think was. But yeah,

198
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,440
we'll have to keep going again. It was going to reach him as well. So we'll just keep an eye on

199
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,040
that one. Anyone else you want to add from that game? I just thought the interesting one,

200
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Taj Mahoud and three sub performances to start the year. Yeah, last week low CBA at low CBA. He's low

201
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,200
time on ground. Yeah. Another uptick on time on ground looked quite good. And most importantly for me,

202
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,000
when I look at in these deeper leagues is the DPP status having the flexibility and it's a defender

203
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,440
forward. Yeah, it was given that last week, the four status was given that last week. I think there's

204
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,600
absolutely something to keep an eye on there. Yeah. I'm still not sure that he's probably on

205
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,280
this side. But having in for me, no waivers, 30 man deep leagues, having someone like that who's

206
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,320
probably S20 tour at least fringe with defender forward status is so nice to have late. So I'm

207
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,520
pretty sure he's been at least sub in every game, right? Except for maybe one. Yeah, so but like he's

208
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,600
been has even sub every week the whole year. Yeah, that's crazy. Oh, he used to games. Yeah,

209
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,080
in play for two. Yeah, five games, four subs. Yeah. So yeah, you're right, fringe, that kind of

210
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,600
fringe mark. The only thing like I think he's like a pretty good classic pick out because the

211
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,000
break even is really low because of those sub affected games. Just talking to Melbourne supporters

212
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,920
and I was talking about about this, because think about bringing him in, they just say, oh, well,

213
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,600
he's probably not going to play too much because they got BOW coming back in three weeks. I think

214
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,640
it is sailing will be back in three weeks. He might push him out long term. Yeah, but it was a good play.

215
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Still a sub for the first few games of the year, even with those boys in the side. So they must

216
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,320
raid him highly enough. Yeah, don't be given up much for it to be fair. But if you've got a if you've

217
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,880
got a vacant spot or someone who's got a long term injury, bit of flexibility is never a bad thing.

218
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,000
Definitely. I don't mind him in classic because a bit of a three, four week play though as well.

219
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:26,320
All right, moving on to the Anzac Day game. I'm a pretty bloody good match really. Pretty awesome

220
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,760
to have on the day off to actually have a look. But not a lot to talk about in terms of a fantasy

221
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:37,120
perspective. Dyson Hepill keeps bombing up every second week. Like 107 points last week. I think he

222
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,840
had 60s before that, but two weeks before that. The gather round he had like nine yards. So I don't

223
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,920
know. I think he's just a good depth player for contending tanks, but still only a streamer wouldn't

224
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,200
you agree? Yeah, absolutely. I think that backline's really interesting as well. Redmond's

225
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:54,720
had a massive massively down trading year this year. Yeah. Ridley still out. McGraw's doing the things

226
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,360
ever I wanted to do last year. Hepill does push up to the wing a bit as well. He lines up on the wing.

227
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Like he does play defense, obviously, but does line up on the wing. And I feel like those wingers,

228
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:08,240
like him and Dersmar pop up with better scores because of it, I think. Maybe just because they get

229
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,560
a bit forward and they are a bit more where a lot of teams are skipping the wings. They tend to use

230
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,640
their wings a little bit more because they don't go as forward as fast. Which we saw with Dersmas three

231
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,280
consecutive tons. Yeah. And now if anyone's brought him in classic or draft, you'd be pretty disappointed

232
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,840
off the last few weeks. I ended up having to field his 72. Actually, no, I chose his 72 over

233
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Jagaloids 16. Oh, 172. You feel like a school you'd be okay to bank on until you see the other side

234
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,800
of the equation, right? Especially with Jagaloid scoring. I think 68 was, he's best school. We'll talk about

235
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,480
that in a second anyway. Brody Marchet just sipping the cap 85 points. There's like a heap of forwards,

236
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,440
like him, Charlie Dixon, like there's a few others that kind of just bob up with decent scores.

237
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,760
If you can pick the good week to stream them or if you like us, you play the Saturday lockout.

238
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,360
He's the type of forward you would loophole on your bench, but it still wouldn't feel great

239
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:59,440
starting him. That's all. But there's probably my check-on is out there that are happy with what

240
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:06,640
they saw in the weekend. So we thought we'd just tip the cap to him there. Jeroes versus Brisbane

241
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:14,160
Lions. Now, what a, I guess, what do you call dismantling of Brisbane Lions? I use

242
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,680
surprise. I tip the Lions. Did you? With all the outs. Yeah. And you go through some of these names.

243
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,680
Most of the monthly names that many people would be talking about prior to either this week or the

244
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,840
past few weeks. Yeah. Just didn't expect that. Well, the first one, we'll start with Jeroes. We'll

245
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,440
talk about Brisbane in more detail a bit later. But we'll start with JWS for now. So Fin Callahan

246
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,360
had his best score of the season, 108 points. And he's looking really, really good like that. Halfback,

247
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,440
like, I don't know. Well, he has sort of an uptick in CBAs this week, but he has since

248
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,880
Kineleo got injured. But he looks like that kind of halfback flanker outside type. Ken Gunn,

249
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Midfield does. Well, that's what's great about him. But great touch. Moves really well with the

250
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,520
footy. Probably just needs to improve his kicking a little bit before he becomes a superstar. But

251
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,320
just the way he can break lines and things like that isn't absolutely going to the game at the

252
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,280
moment. So what do you think? Yeah. I guess we'd ever want to obviously be pretty happy to own him.

253
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,000
It's just like, do you think this run can continue given how he started? I think that's the hard part.

254
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,400
So my main keeper, I tried at 4 Fin Callahan last year, brought him in. So the start of the season,

255
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,880
probably somewhat underwhelming. Nothing more for, but certainly not the uptick, maybe one would have

256
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,920
hoped. Without Kineleo, I think we're pretty happy with the score this weekend without a doubt.

257
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:29,440
I'm not sure when all of the JWS names are back, we'll see that as a consistent team, not this

258
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,600
year, but we know that those JWS players over the next year or two, there's going to have to be some

259
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,800
transitions and some changes in terms of age and their plan moving forward. And I think Callahan is

260
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,720
very clearly big in those plans. So I think his stocks are probably lower than what they deserve to be.

261
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,880
I mean, a couple of years time, I expect him to be a star of the comp, but certainly, uh,

262
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,080
upper echelon. We're not far away from seeing, like,

263
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,320
Calon Ward retire. Stem Kineleo is like 30 pluses in here as well. These guys are going to move

264
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,480
down the pack and go on and people like Callahan are going to move up if midfield is his bag. I'm not

265
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,600
sure whether I'd prefer him on a half-back line or, um, or on a wing or... I've got a lot of half-backers.

266
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,080
I don't know, like, I'd like him there. I was not sure. I think the main issue he's going to have is

267
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,640
his versatility. Yeah. And he ends up being a bit of a Mr Fixer, so he ended up having some weeks

268
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,160
which is much better than others. Could be the second coming of Whitfield. I'll take that.

269
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:25,120
30 firsts. Who knows? Um, I'll talk about Calon Ward. Like, 92 points, like, I just think he's a

270
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:30,160
handy own for contending teams because they just seem to always go back to him. Like, there's, he's

271
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,240
never out of their midfield mix, you know, and we've been saying it probably for about four years now.

272
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,320
Calon was done. Like, they've got to stop using it in the midfield and he just, they just keep going

273
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:44,560
back to him. His nickname is cement head. I learnt on Thursday nights, which is awesome. I love that.

274
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,400
I'll bring him in if he's on my own. He wavers just for the nickname. Because I think he copped one

275
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,560
to the head and just got straight back up. Everyone else was, uh, a person he hit was injured as well.

276
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:58,640
Harry Paramann has been on the radar for a long time and keeps kind of dropping on and off. He had 102 points

277
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,960
and he was just everywhere in this game, taking marks and offense, then kicking goals at the round.

278
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,760
Like, he's a bit of a Mr Fix it too. Well, has been in the past. He's probably more resigned to the defensive

279
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,840
role these days, but it's kind of just good to see that he's still got it in him. I think, well, and

280
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,680
I just double checked because he's one of these players. I have a few in the league that I feel like

281
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,760
they've been around for so long and then you realize he's only 25. Yeah, suddenly you're like, oh,

282
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,840
gosh, he's got seven, eight years in him and he's just been around the bar, yeah, he finally found himself

283
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,400
a solidified role in this side again as players are moving on. Yeah, there's no reason he can't be doing it.

284
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,760
I think also with him as well, like, just been injury affected for the last year or so as well.

285
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,440
Like, takes a bit of time to get going again. And off the half-back line was where I liked him initially.

286
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,360
Like, and then he had his best scoring when he played like a cannibal midfield roles and stuff like that.

287
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,280
A couple seasons ago, but that's the kind of role that caught my eye and it was just good to see him put

288
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,640
up a good score again. Still have faith for someone like Harry Paraman. James Petling, I just kind of

289
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,920
mentioned that he had 81 points. That was his highest CBA usage for the year as well, but he's another

290
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,360
guy that you always kind of see in that midfield. So they're kind of earmarking someone like him.

291
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:07,040
Darcy Jones was a pretty outstanding debut. What are your thoughts just in terms of like his scoring?

292
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,480
So he scored 70 points in this game, which isn't huge, but still handy. Like, I'd take that in my

293
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,200
forward line every day of the week, but you've got Toby Green out, Brent Daniels out. Yeah, what are your thoughts?

294
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,040
First of all, I love the helmet. I was the support. I have to be supportive of the helmet.

295
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,120
And it's got the GWS colors as well. It's the charcoal and orange, it's perfect.

296
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,240
Well played, absolutely. Look, the role is not going to be fantastic for fantasy and I think they've got

297
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,560
a lot of players in a very similar mold. So it's really intriguing, but in the preseason,

298
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,040
there was actually a lot of talk about him getting a start earlier than this. So very much hyped in the

299
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,960
GWS camp. Again, I'm not sure I'd ever seen someone who's going to be averaging over the 60s kind of

300
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:50,720
mark, which leaves him probably as a streaming option. Yeah. I don't see his style of play being

301
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,960
conducive to moving into the midfield or anything quite like that. He's kind of like a Toby Bedford

302
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,800
Mark II type of thing and whether they need another one and all, you can just look at his scoring

303
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,400
and see what type of player he might be. Like a good real footballer, like on ground football,

304
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:10,960
but not maybe not fantasy, that's all. Just anyone who got on the Darcy Fort Stream last week as a

305
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:17,760
forward, you're welcome. No, no, two points. It's like just last, I think four games, he's

306
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:24,240
rocked solo. He's done 80 plus each time and now it's five games. He's rock solo. So hoping,

307
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,240
you never hope for injuries, but I'm kind of hoping Mekanoni needs another week because I could

308
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,120
really use a forward off his caliber right now. I was capable of an 80 plus, but I think he might

309
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,840
be back in the tooth as of this week. He's a hard one, right? I've got Oscar back in any, probably

310
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,240
two draft leagues that I tend to try and cuff because I just know the forward off score when I need him to.

311
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,520
Oscar back in any is my backup rock, but the only reason I've got four is because there's no obvious

312
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,240
backup at North Melbourne or all the, because I got cherries my number one. And none of the backup

313
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,320
rucks actually have ruck status. They're all defenders and forwards. So yeah, that's the only reason I

314
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,800
got four, but it was pretty in it. It's perfect player on the same. I've got Roma, you know, Jack Hayes,

315
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,720
I think so for what only if he does come in and God, no one wants to come capital to play. So

316
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,600
interesting to see how that pans out, but the same play is a great little cuff. Yeah. And all right,

317
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,440
Jared Berry is the last guy I need to speak about. So he had 85 points. He's put up three good scores

318
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,600
in a row now. And he probably should be too good for the podcast. But I was saying last week, I just

319
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,440
could not figure out why we're seeing this uptick in scoring. So like, yes, I thought maybe he's

320
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,920
roles different. Maybe he's lining up on the half back, lined a bit more, but like he's pushing

321
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960
deep and getting a lot of touches back there, but he's still lining up on the wing at the center

322
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,160
bounces and all that sort of stuff. So my theory is that he didn't go on the Las Vegas trip

323
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,560
at the end of last. I'm not commenting on keeping more reservations. Yeah. So maybe that's maybe

324
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,840
that's the thing. Maybe he's the one out there going like, come on guys, let's all get along.

325
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,400
Let's be positive. Let's all, you know, maybe that's the, maybe that's the catalyst for his turn

326
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,320
around is scoring a lot of his touches in the back pocket, like a lot of his touches in the back pocket.

327
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,440
And again, he's a player that depending on the role, bit of a Mr Fix it, he can score on any given

328
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,680
week. And I think he's pretty, pretty well. He 80s every game by one this year and a couple of

329
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,080
big ceiling scores. So you'd be pretty happy as an owner. There's no doubt about that. And if he keeps

330
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,080
getting touches in the back line, well, maybe we'll say a little bit of flexibility in his role,

331
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:20,000
moving forward. Absolutely. Let's just touch on Brisbane in a football context. Are you surprised

332
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,680
with what you're seeing this year? Absolutely. Yeah. I like, I am. But the other thing is like, I

333
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,400
think of as well as like, how many times have you seen a team finish top four five years in a row?

334
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,080
Like it doesn't really, statistically it makes sense. Like when you're up and about,

335
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,520
this may be like maybe a Hawthorne back in the day, but even then I reckon then, you know,

336
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:45,280
2016 they went backwards outside of the top four type thing as well. So like, I don't know, like,

337
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,720
it's shocking because they made the grand final. They're so close to winning it last year. You

338
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,720
don't think that much changes in 12 months. Yes, it might have been some off-field issues. Like,

339
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,040
we're hearing, but I think as well, like, it's just very unlikely that you see a team up and

340
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,680
about for this long. I agree with that statement wholeheartedly, but I think the issue and the reason

341
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,080
that such a surprise for me is there's not been any obvious change or maybe some behind the scenes

342
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,680
turmoil, but as far as the best 22, we're looking at injuries. Okay, Daniel Rich has gone kitty-com

343
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,120
and ACLs. He've lost kind of one key role player or at least one role in that side. But otherwise,

344
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:21,840
we haven't seen any major retirements. We haven't seen significant turn of players going to

345
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,360
out the clubs. There's not really a genuine, you can put your finger on why they're so bad compared

346
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:31,040
to the end of last year. That's the hard part. I think with these kind of things, there's a Brisbane

347
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,520
fan you'd be pulling your hair out saying, "What's the role?" Yeah, 100%. So I don't know, it's worry

348
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:42,400
signs because the season could be done basically. Yeah, one less contender come September. It's

349
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,440
probably a good thing for fans of other clubs. Anyway, let's move on to the Port Adelaide versus

350
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,720
St. Cuderdate game. I went to this game. Do you know the best thing about this game? I didn't see the

351
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:59,760
game so I'm intrigued. Watching Henrik Stenson launch golf balls from the Golf Square landing one

352
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:06,960
on the Colbs logo in the middle, second try to win someone in the crowd car. I do not hear about this

353
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,000
whatsoever. I know, I would have found a way. It's got absolutely no traction, but I'm pretty sure

354
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,160
I was Henrik Stenson. I wasn't really listening when they announced it and then went in like, I was like,

355
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,880
"Oh, someone's having a hidden golf." It was a bit of a really bad golf for myself. It was just

356
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,720
fun to see. And then I was like, "Hold on a second." He's actually landed this in the center circle.

357
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,360
And then the second time he landed on the Colbs logo. It was just good lighting go to live golf,

358
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,560
in Adelaide, but it was just awesome to see a professional golfer up close like that.

359
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:40,160
I must admit, and again, politically, I'm not going to end the politics on this podcast, but

360
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,000
no matter who you are for entertainment and for sport, now I'm asking this is absolutely

361
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,480
done wonders, you know, gather around, live golf. The vibes in Adelaide, if you're not in Adelaide,

362
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,760
get over here because it's been an absolute blast in terms of entertainment.

363
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,320
Yeah, last few weeks has been a lot going on. Now we're going to have an action for

364
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:00,240
effectively until the French festival starts next year, but yeah, it's been a good time in Adelaide.

365
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,120
And yeah, just amazing to see and some, I don't think they were backing him to be able to do it.

366
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:09,280
Like to land one. It's a pretty big offering. It's not a $1,000 sort of voucher.

367
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,440
It's a brand new car. It's like 100 metres had to land it on a circle no bigger than this table.

368
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,720
You know, and he does it second try. It's incredible. So good.

369
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680
Professional golf is different breed because it is a very difficult sport.

370
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,280
All right, I got a message on Saturday night from Damon who was on the podcast last week.

371
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:31,360
Just saying, give yourself a victory lap on the podcast about Jace Burgoyne. 112 points this week.

372
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:36,400
Starts on the wing, but plays that half-back role. Like pushes back, plays that kind of defensive wing.

373
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,520
It's like kick all the kicks along that half-back line.

374
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,400
Just always seems to be in the right spot to receive the ball. That's the thing I've noticed in the

375
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:48,480
last few weeks. Like if there's a bailout handball or nothing's going forward, he'll be the option sideways

376
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,040
to kind of give it to him and he'll kind of deal with how he does from there. So, Jace Burgoyne,

377
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:59,280
the thing is, like, I just still wouldn't be surprised if we see him managed or...

378
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,760
I just wanted to ask. As a port fan, where do you really see him in this best 22?

379
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,920
Do we think he is best 22? Do we think he's still building? So they're not going to be

380
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,320
going to a meeting every week? Yeah. So, with Burton out last week, I would have been like,

381
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,680
I would love to see Jace Burgoyne replace him on the half-back flank. I'm not the biggest

382
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,000
Burton fan, but we saw Dylan Williams come in who wasn't terribly there. So, he kind of takes

383
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,120
over that role straight up. I can see Burgoyne being like the bowk him in bowk kind of rotated

384
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,560
a little bit on that wing. Because I think Miles Burgoyne's been more of the senior player.

385
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,200
It's been more important to the structure in the way we go for and things like that.

386
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:39,760
You can actually say port has a structure in a game plan and whatever. But yeah, I'm still not

387
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,080
sold on Jace Burgoyne. I'm trying to say like, really good showing the last couple of weeks.

388
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,080
But yeah, I still need to be proven that he's not going to be subbed or start as the sub or allow

389
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,440
boat to come in and play a few more games before he retires type thing as well or just use a senior

390
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,160
head when the going gets tough and stuff like that. So, great score. Happy to take the victory lap,

391
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,240
but still on a sold. I want to see a little bit more from Jace Burgoyne. Do you think that's fair?

392
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,560
I think so. Again, I didn't see this particular game. One of the few I didn't catch this weekend.

393
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,920
But all reports are fantastic and I think this is just sort of a talent in that side and just

394
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,720
finding the right roles and the right pieces is going to be pretty key to port success moving forward.

395
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,960
100% you've hit the nail on the head there. There's a lot of talent in that side. Not a lot of

396
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,880
game plan and management going on, but we won't get me started. We're going to talk about Hingley.

397
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,280
We won't get me started on the couch. Bottom 10 Ken, I think the media started calling him.

398
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,960
So people start to see the things I've been saying for about the last seven years, but

399
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:43,600
seven years. God damn it. Jordan's suite came to the side, a bit of a shock to Soldo having surgery.

400
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:49,200
Do you mean the week? But yeah, he's put up 96 AFL fans. He points and actually 128 in super coach

401
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,080
as well. I moved early and got him in my super coach team this week, but I had role martial

402
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,760
on field who scored me 61. So, yeah, yeah. I might prefer on out there my super coach ranks now

403
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,880
just inside the top 1000 as opposed to being 27th a few weeks ago. Look, still better

404
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,120
than me in any format. So, I cannot say anything. Royal martial with the number one factor as

405
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,560
the wall of going back. But anyway, sweet game of birth. Royal martial did cop and knock early in the

406
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:18,800
game. That probably did did factor in, but like, sweet has six weeks to prove himself. And this is,

407
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:24,400
he's made a very good start. Oh, I look at something that I feel somewhat more available to talk about

408
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,880
as a former doggy's player. Really hot wraps. I think the reality was just going to be,

409
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Tim English is going to be a rock for the next 10 years. Yeah. How can we afford this guy at

410
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,840
game time? He's too good to play in the VFL and I think he showed that on the weekend. Really talented.

411
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,920
I think he's best part of his game is his head out to advantage. I think he's a genuinely good tap

412
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,840
rockman. And he showed that he has a bit more to add around the ground and a bit of a cuddle too

413
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,600
from time to time. So, look, really hot on him in all formats. I also moved two leagues. I've

414
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,960
streamed rucks this year. Yeah. I've been running Bayley Williams and both of them and then brought

415
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,520
Jordan Sweden straight on field this week. Well, this is the thing I was going to ask you. So,

416
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,400
I've asked you some of you forums. What would you be? Your thoughts on cutting,

417
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,080
raw martial, going sideways to a midfielder and playing sweet on field?

418
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,000
Ooh. I mean, you've got to have an exit play and that's probably the hard part. I know we've

419
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,160
got a fair bit of time to run through that. I think the net points per dollar is absolutely

420
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,720
going to be much better for Jordan. Sweet. Yeah. Bit of a hard one. We don't intend to not say

421
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:28,960
tragic premiums in a new format, but could mean I have a Tom Green in my midfield. I think it

422
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,240
depends what rookies people are running still because instead of like a sharp or something like that.

423
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,280
If you can move on someone who's struggling and you know, really don't want to be in your

424
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,080
saw, there's absolutely a reason to make that play. Yeah.

425
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:44,160
Anyways, Darsing Wilson is owned in too many leagues now. One of the better draft days of this year

426
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,760
went very high in most K-Polee drafts. So, I don't really need a touch in too much, but

427
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:53,600
GZ looks good on that wing. And to be fair, he's actually sitting on a few waves. I'm a quick look today. I think he's been

428
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,600
building into the season nicely. Couple of lower schools. I think this one really, really

429
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,080
announced himself. He's still a wingman. That role is versus is going to be up one week and down the next.

430
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,000
Yeah. But it looks like a great footballer for you to come.

431
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
He was in Super Coach. I played, I'd always did the opposite in AFL Fantasy. So, I played him in

432
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,640
AFL Fantasy, hence one of my rankings going up in AFL Fantasy. Didn't play in Super Coach,

433
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,120
played Hugo Garcia, thinking contested games. Guy loves a tackle. Yeah. This guy should go better.

434
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,240
Darcy Wilson pumped him. So, that's another reason why I'm going down in Super Coach. Let's move on

435
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:30,640
to North Melbourne versus the Crowe's. Locky's shot, 106 points. Push Nank over spectacular half-back

436
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:36,240
role and then push cook forward a little bit as well, I think as well. But score pretty well. 106

437
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,280
points. He's just not someone you can rely on each week. I just don't know if he's going to be in my

438
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,240
side. Again, two leagues, pretty short of midfielders when he plays stoked, but I don't know what he's going to play.

439
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:49,520
Yeah, I picked him up off the waivers in the Sheveleg, a play in winnings named. He seems to score pretty

440
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,440
well. I've done better than both of them, but it's a handy one to own. It's just whether you can hold

441
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,320
him on the bench for the week, he's not playing. Slime retired today as well. Yeah, we've been used

442
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,840
the other day. Slime's not only probably been playing the wing in the last couple of seasons as well,

443
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,840
so it might just be one less person, although I don't think anyone actually expected Slime to come back.

444
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:11,840
Really? No, not necessarily, but I always find that big names of the game, you see the retirements,

445
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,760
it still brings a bit of a nostalgic factor and you think, "Oh, you know, I've had a good day."

446
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,440
I mean, 16 seasons, I think he's had a cracking run out of this side. Yeah, and Captain for a lot of

447
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:26,640
that as well. That's right. Yeah. I was at Rankin as the next one. So I only got the nine CBAs this week,

448
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:33,040
which is the 94 points he got at the end of that. Four goals to get his score. Like, is it

449
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:38,080
annoying that the role keeps changing each week or should we be happy that he's playing enough

450
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:43,520
forward to keep his four status going into the next season? Yeah, I think that's spot on. If he scored

451
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,960
anything less than that against North Melbourne, you'd probably be disappointed in the realities you

452
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,080
almost want him forward in that game, so he can kick a bag. The flexibility is the added benefit

453
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:57,760
to the game, particularly in Cape Leagues. I think there's no doubt I traded for him in a league this year.

454
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,320
I love to think I fleec DC, he's got Clayton Oliver and I've got five players in return. Oh wow.

455
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,880
I was at Rankin being one of them and yeah, you want to see that. You don't want him to be in the lead.

456
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Yeah, not beneficial to anyone, especially if you're not a contending team and you've got next season

457
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,600
or season after to build. If he can keep that four status, you're going to be very happy.

458
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:22,560
Braden Cook 92 points, three goals. I just don't get excited by these types of plays anymore. I

459
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,240
don't know. He has looked good last few weeks and when I was at the Crow's game, the other way,

460
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:30,000
a lot of people telling me I've got a pain more attention to him and could be a fantasy player

461
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,200
for the future, but in the Crow side where things just keep changing continually. I don't know,

462
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,640
I'm not excited just yet, but more of a tip of the cap this week, but I would think Watchlist

463
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,920
he's not on there, whether I'll miss a trick, I guess we'll find out. Yeah. And Josh Warro had 87

464
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,360
points. Again, I don't really like the role because he does play more of a taller,

465
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:53,200
more like an intercept defender, I guess, but had nine marks back there. Probably a tip of the cap,

466
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,120
but as a real footballer, I think Crow's a pretty happy with the way he's gone last few weeks.

467
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,840
So yeah, looks like a handy player going forward. All right, let's read some gold. Members,

468
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,920
thank you to Matt Roach, James Hodg, James Wishart, Jackson Chikobi, Dallas Roberts, David Overall.

469
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:15,440
Oh God. Nicholas Chris Nourage, William Lane, Jeff Saunders, Alexander Hooper, Adam Ritchie,

470
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Fraser, Mascotelli, Ryan Cisgetti, James Hanigar and Chris C, apologies for the names I have

471
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,240
but you did Chris C's name actually Chris C or did you just shorten it to another one? No, he does,

472
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:34,240
I think Chris C doesn't want to be identified, but now all Chris C's leg mates probably trying to

473
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:40,320
work out who Chris C is so sorry about putting that in there. Thank you to those legends, though.

474
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,000
You're the ones that keep the podcast going each week. Yeah, and you're the ones who've committed

475
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,520
to supporting it. So thank you so much. Hopefully you're enjoying all the bonus resources and stats and

476
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,920
all the extra bits and pieces you get on the website as a result for your support. Anyway,

477
00:36:53,920 --> 00:37:00,960
so let's continue on with the round review. All right, Jolong versus Calden. CamGa3 is the first name

478
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,400
to talk about here. So you had 104 points, but then like you've started on the backline, but then you've

479
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,360
got moved into the midfield when danger got injured. We've seen this actually like a few times

480
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,200
over the last few weeks like Jack Bowes coming into a place danger field and stuff like that, but

481
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:22,480
can a CamGa3 be a player that continues? I want to say yes. Jolong Jesus as a coin by myself a

482
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:29,600
couple of years back. Obviously significant long-term injury. I was wondering if he came in defense as a

483
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,000
kind of find his way back into the side, find his way back at a FL level. That was my gut for you.

484
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Yeah. Then obviously straightaway taking the reins with danger injury. I think that makes

485
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,240
the logical sense for him. Obviously Stuart was out this week. There's a lot of chain of something

486
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:45,760
in there. Actually, this was the start to, does play that all, he's played more defense this year,

487
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,480
but has played the inside role in the past, but I don't think he's going to come straight back

488
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,400
into the midfield. Yeah, I don't think I could sit here and put my name on it and say absolutely

489
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,960
he could do either. I think he can do both. It's just going to be where they shift the magnets with

490
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,880
this danger injury. Yeah, 100%. We seem like Matthew Kennedy in the last few weeks for Carlton,

491
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,800
just played a variety of roles and it's been very hard to know where to place him and we'll talk about

492
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,200
him in a sec, but he was back in the midfield this week, but there's injuries and stuff that changed

493
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:18,160
the dynamic of that. Speaking of gut 3, is that gut 3 had 95 points? I've been ignoring him. He's

494
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,040
been pulling out things like that. He's called last couple weeks, but it's just like it's that

495
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:26,960
gut 3, he revert to type, like he'll just go missing. But like, do we start, have to take notice or

496
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,200
is it like just Tom Stewart's out? He's picked up the points there. I think we have to cop the one

497
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,880
week of, okay, Tom Stewart's out and then refresh next week. Because he did it last week as well,

498
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,960
but Tom Stewart's out of the game early as well. Exactly. He sits there pretty well as my first

499
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,440
emergency for a bunch of leagues. He just sits there as the guy who score comes on in five in injury,

500
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,120
he slides his way out of the field. He does enough week in week out quite honestly, and these

501
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:52,960
ceilings schools just create a little bit more of a potential VM as a player. I don't see them being,

502
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,880
I think we see the floor. There's not going to be significant change there, but if we see these

503
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,240
injuries, then it's the right time to stream him and know that he's going to have an uptick for

504
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:04,480
any given week when he needs to fill that roll. Yeah, I like the logic behind that as well,

505
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,920
or just see if like, you know, Boeys is going into the midfield and stuff like that to replace

506
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:14,160
danger and that sort of stuff as well. Jacob Weedering, 104 points, I think he's a starter these days.

507
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,120
Lucky you can go around that kind of 80 range quite easily. I'm not actually sure what he's

508
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,120
I want to see everything 84. That's right at the top of the head, so we'll see if I'm any good once we

509
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:28,160
check some stats here, but he has been great and I reckon I might have I might have somehow

510
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,080
nabbed him after the draft in one of my leagues. 85, 84, 84.84. You're on the money.

511
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:40,240
I only had one low score of 45 in round six, so yeah, like he's definitely fieldable. There's

512
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,760
probably better defenders out there. I think they probably make my field at the moment,

513
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:50,640
so I'd be happy with that. Matthew Kennedy, we mentioned before, 104 points, 26 CPAs this week.

514
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,840
So he was been the mr. Fix at last few weeks, placed everywhere. Everyone said he's based essentially

515
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,400
this year's version of Silvani, Jackson Vani, because when there's a fix it, you know, he goes there.

516
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,760
So there was no half-back roll for him to cover this week's exact Williams game will stay in the side.

517
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:10,960
So like, he scored that 104 points in the midfield, but then my next question is what happens when

518
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,360
Chera comes back, because he's good scoring this season does coincide with Chera being out.

519
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,920
I think it's a really fun one, because everyone in the classic side of the game is screaming

520
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,760
out for forwards, and I think a lot of people, I wouldn't surprise me to see him as top five traded

521
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,840
in this week on the back of that performance, and I couldn't do it. I just couldn't, I don't have

522
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,880
any trust in faith in that role. And we've seen this year after he--

523
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,320
We can't really. It doesn't change, doesn't it? Not just role, but if he's in and out of the side,

524
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,040
I definitely think he's best 22 these days, but like we've seen year after year that it changes

525
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:44,400
week to week to week. Yeah. For the draft format, we kind of know that, and you can back,

526
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,160
like you can factor that risk in as to when you're picking them up or who you're trading for them.

527
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,840
In the classic side of the game, the last thing you want is someone at that process a two-week play.

528
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:57,600
So yeah, exciting for owners, but I wouldn't be suddenly looking like them as I return.

529
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,440
No, definitely. What Damon mentioned last week, though, was now that he's a forward,

530
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,040
it gets a lot easier to put him on your field. True, like you don't have to stress as much,

531
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,720
because he's still-- whatever he's doing is probably still going to be better than most of the forwards.

532
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:13,760
A great team anyway, so yeah, you'd be pretty happy if you got the mechanical inside, I think at the moment.

533
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:20,320
Time to coning at 86 points is been surprising despite like sharing the rock roll again.

534
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,200
Things are probably on track for four status, going by the last two games with PitNet being in

535
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:31,200
there a lot. I'll have to check the splits right now, but I reckon he would be around the

536
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,600
mugs. Just give me two seconds for me. Yeah, I think. I think on that super quickly, I think he's

537
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,640
really impressive. And we've talked about it for years, and a lot of people are holding in

538
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,280
keepers, waiting for this breakout, and he's impressed me with the scoring in a dual setup.

539
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,720
He's clearly done it to start the year without it, but now he's got the dual setup and he's still

540
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:56,160
finding a way. Yeah, so he's got 27% of the CBAs to PitNet's 73. So most of the time, one of them

541
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,000
is playing-- well, he's playing it forward in those times. Assuming he's not starting on the bench

542
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,360
every time, which I don't think he was. So yeah, that's forwards status range. He would be a player

543
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,320
I'd be targeting now just in-- he can't target him in trades now because he's scoring too well still.

544
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,560
If he's scoring drops off the next few weeks, A is one I think you go after because

545
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,560
there is a world where they drop PitNet back again and put him in number one ruck.

546
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,560
I think I agree with you, but I think there's leagues out there where you'll find him on the bench.

547
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,440
And if that's their second ruck and they're running a really classy, you know, Tim English, Max Gorn top.

548
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,520
In our league, the top team has got Darcy in a ruck and he's playing to Cunning on the bench.

549
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,080
Yeah, so those kind of trades, especially for top teams, contending teams that might just need one

550
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,200
other player on field to boost their scoring by another 20 points. I actually still like the trade.

551
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,840
Depending what you're going to pay, don't pay overs for it. Yeah.

552
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,960
But if you need a ruck, he's going to get ruck forward status. You'd be pretty stoked for that to

553
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,400
finish the year off. It is a pun to that you'll get it, but it's something good in the moment for the

554
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,200
last two weeks. The other one is a larger Holland, seven eight points. I just don't know what to make of

555
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,960
this guy. Like a lot of people messaged us and he's like, "What about larger Holland's? Talk about larger

556
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,960
homes." And it's because he was like that good underage scorer, but it was in that year, the COVID

557
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:10,000
year, where everyone was a bit skewed, like no one's really come on as much. I don't know. I don't

558
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,320
love his role because he needed two gold for two goals for scoring to score that seven eight points.

559
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,840
What do you feel about a larger Holland? Probably a similar player to we spoke about like a Darcy

560
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,920
Jones in the sense of not in the same way that they played the game, but in the way of really good

561
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,320
footballer. You'd be pretty stoked that he's coming through and he's to come, but I'm just not sure

562
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:33,120
I see him taking that leap at least not in the short term. I think he's shown that he can play in a role

563
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,520
which is fantasy scoring and fantasy relevant, but I don't think he will be in the cult inside,

564
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,960
barring some pretty significant injuries. But we've seen the likes of Matt Kennedy and a few others

565
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,920
take over CDAs. I think a larger Holland could play that role, but seems a more traditional kind of

566
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:55,280
wingman goes forward, half forward, kicks him goals, talent without being fantasy on a real T-at-all.

567
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,720
I'm, yeah, like he's shown some talent. The talent is what people get, gets people I think,

568
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:04,400
but just the role side of things that are forward, that wings just never great for the fantasy

569
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,320
scoring unless he shakes out, it's probably going to have much change. All right, there's a lot

570
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:14,640
to talk about in this free mantle, Western Borders game. The biggest thing is not five. He's 118

571
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,440
points. He's way back the clock. Now, has he returned? Can we count on five from now on?

572
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960
Well, I think the problem that we're talking about here is how many years do we actually expect

573
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,960
for us to play this year, next year? Yeah. And what do we actually expect out of that? I think

574
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,800
they become a lot less relevant this late in their career. You kind of need to have them

575
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,960
where you don't. You're not suddenly making trades for players who you might have for a single season.

576
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:40,400
Yeah. He did look good, but no, I don't. I'm not going to sit here and say he's returned and

577
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,600
he's in the brown, lo and he's in the blue. It's more on the flip side. If you own five and you're not

578
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:52,240
top four top 16, you're selling him. Absolutely. Are you buying? If you are a top team?

579
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:56,880
I think you can buy. Again, having a good understanding as to where you're depth in the forward

580
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,440
lines. The reality is, as I'm in forward, he becomes a lot more appealing with the role that he's

581
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:07,840
playing. And he is going to be good enough to play on most teams fields. So as a top team, you could

582
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:13,840
buy, but you wouldn't want to be selling the farm for a 30, 45 year old kind of player, which,

583
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,960
I mean, I can only make an assumption. Someone's going to tell me that now for 30 and he's got

584
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,480
years left in him and all that. I'll eat my words, but I have a sneaking suspicion. That's probably

585
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,520
not the case. I have sold farms for premierships before. And it's, you know, do you think Files

586
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,760
are going to win your premiership? I'm not. I'm not going to make that cool. Just a comparative trade.

587
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,240
Errol Gouldn Gordon's first season. So I think he got injured half way through the year and didn't play.

588
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:38,640
Yep. I traded him out for Patrick Dangerfield, who was a forward at the time. And it

589
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,440
single handedly won me the flag that trade. I don't regret it for a second. I wish I had

590
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,680
Gordon there, but because I had that flag in the bag, it's like, it feels like it was totally worth it.

591
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:53,600
So interestingly, same year I had my first first draft, keeper draft with that chat boys.

592
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,600
Yeah. And I picked Dangerfield before I picked Josh Dunnley because I thought Dangerfield was

593
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,800
more likely to retain for what's next. Yeah. Again, on the flip side, not too happy with that pick.

594
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,600
But yes, if you're in a single season, you've got a week's point in your forward line. Yeah.

595
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,680
Files can absolutely do the job for you. Yeah. And it might be the punt that you need to win that flag

596
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,880
as well. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't knock anyone for trying it. That's just sure.

597
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:20,080
Bailey Bannfield had 94 points. He's been in like a bit of a half back role this season. He's

598
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:25,200
listed forward in a, in a fantasy and pretty sure. So I just seemed like one of those games where

599
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,440
everything went his way. And I'm just not sure what to make of him on the half back line, like whether

600
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,520
maintains or whether, you know, I don't know. What do you have thoughts on Bailey Bannfield?

601
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:38,240
Well, for any listens to our show, Urban is, you know, a feature of semi-regularity. He's a

602
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:43,200
free-o-fan. Yeah. And I've never seen so much Bailey Bannfield at. He just was not a fan, even of

603
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,920
this performance. I think he wants him to be dropped. So that surprised me. But I haven't heard a little

604
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,880
bit of that from free-o-fans. I quite like him. I think if it's the role really well, but free-o-fans

605
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,200
tend to give me a little bit of a different dialogue. And you never, I never like players when

606
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,800
they're own fans. I don't want them in the side. That's fair point. No, I would probably be

607
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,360
of one if for now, but good score there. Bailey Bannfield. I don't think the free-o-fans are

608
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,760
disappointed with Josh Tracey though last few weeks. So 85 points this week just showing some

609
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,960
awesome signs. Like, I'm not sure he's going to get to that Kerno Firdable Key Forward every week.

610
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,280
I'm in a type of thing. We say he's going to win a Coltman. That's what I mean. I don't think he's

611
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:24,080
going to get to that level. Well, not yet. I haven't seen signs. But like, I think he will be a

612
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,320
like a good F5. Like the top team in our league is playing in the F5 at the moment. And he's going,

613
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,920
he's going fine. There's 12 team like, you know, it's like, it's less of 38 or something like that.

614
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:36,160
So like, he's going okay with him there. And I think it's a pretty reasonable option. If not,

615
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:41,360
like he has a very decent streamer option for the games that free-mantle get on top. Yeah.

616
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,480
So yeah, no. He's one I think he should be looking at if you need a forward. Now, Bailey Dail,

617
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:52,400
I got a message from my mate Pugs on Saturday night and say, "Hey, you were wrong about Bailey Dail."

618
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:57,760
I was like, "What did I say?" And he's like, "You said he won't get 160 again." And he was on 84,

619
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,240
quarter time, half time or something like that. And so I said, "I'd give him a apology if he got 160

620
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:07,040
again." You only got 134. So bad luck. I mean, it's a pretty, it's a pretty safe call to make

621
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,040
that he's not going back to that one, 60. So I like that you really hung your hat out on that one.

622
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,840
The thing is though, I did say that there are a lot of points going around in that Bordog's defense.

623
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:21,040
Being a Bordog's man, I'm sure you've noticed it. What do you think the reason for this is,

624
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,120
is it struggling to move the ball forwards or is it just part of your game plan? What do you think?

625
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,760
Oh, I wish I had an answer for this one. I think if I did, then maybe I'd get a look at

626
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,920
the coaching key because you talk about Ken and I can talk about Bebo for days. Yeah, well,

627
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,560
I just got a flag. Well, yeah, that again eight years ago starting to, starting to dwindle

628
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:43,120
with the relevance of the set. I'd rather that than 13 without a flag. Fair, absolutely fair.

629
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,680
13, 11, 12, some of that. Yeah. I just can't pick it. Honestly, you know,

630
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:52,800
Caledonian in the twos, then he's the sub. I just can't justify what's happening. I think

631
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,120
an interesting part of our loss on the weekend, Boku playing really well as an intercept defender,

632
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,440
but finding himself being left accountable a lot. I think there's going to have to be some changes.

633
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:06,080
The guys that are getting the ball and distributing the ball, that's great. But at the same time,

634
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,880
we've just lost to Fria who I don't think are a top eight side. So that doesn't fill me with

635
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,400
confidence that for these guys, their roles are going to stay the same. I think it's still going to

636
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:19,120
be changed to come week in week out. Pretty funny this guy was subbed all the sub two weeks ago,

637
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:24,720
and he's put up what, two under 90 points. Maybe. I must admit, I like the sub being used in a

638
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:29,440
disciplinary bit of a rocket, you know, so to speak. I wanted to say, hang on a sec, like, check

639
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,960
yourself. You were all Australian a couple years ago. Yeah, I don't mind that. Bring the best out of

640
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,760
yourself. And that's what it did. I mean, he's pretty happy as an owner. He's already 148 or something

641
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,720
on the past two. Same to nothing for Rolly Sanders, unfortunately.

642
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:50,160
Sam Darcy, 94 points, also showing good signs. Just more of a super coach favorite at the moment,

643
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,600
but still putting up some good scores. Like, it's just like one week off, one week on, you know,

644
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:59,680
type thing. He looks like an absolute jet. Pretty exciting. I think Darcy commentating. Sam was probably

645
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,320
an interesting one. I don't know how often that tends to happen, but yeah, absolutely get around him,

646
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,400
just he chops out enough in the rock to get a few extra points that way. Yeah, he's a test of

647
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,560
markings great. He's going to kick a few goals. He just feels the stat one for a key forward. Yeah,

648
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,560
definitely. And the other one is like just mentioned as Ed Richards is playing in the midfielders,

649
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,640
like an accountable midfielder. And it's just funny because like you're looking for guys getting

650
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:25,440
CBAs, but the halfbacks are scoring more than the, you know, more along that line. So, but just a

651
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,840
one to note that, yeah, if he does go back, he might start scoring a bit better, but I think he's

652
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,840
pretty safe for like a 70 in that role as well. So it might be, it might be a play. Probably

653
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,120
unders what you would have paid for him when you were drafting it started a year. That's the

654
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,080
reality. You would have thought it'd take some weeks to leave. But you're almost hoping that he's

655
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,880
probably a high 80s guy. So 70s, you'd probably not too happy with that. For sure. I was going to

656
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:51,040
the goal cost of us. West Coast, he was game. We'll pal 84 points. I just don't know what to make of him

657
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:56,560
this year. Like that was a better showing, but like closely, I guess as Flanders is coming to the side

658
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,640
and just taking up, sorry, coming to the half back line and just taking everything because like

659
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,520
Closys playing on the wing a bit more like, I guess he does push back a little bit, but yeah, I think

660
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,120
it's just you're going to get games where it just, you know, you're planning as West Coast lesser

661
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,200
opposition score, okay? I just really don't like him at the moment with Flanders on the halfback line

662
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,920
just using up all the footies. Simple as that. I wouldn't be too happy as an owner. You'd like to

663
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,360
think that potentially as things get a bit more settled with Dimmer that there's going to be a clearer

664
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,040
role, but whether that's a positive or a negative, we're still going to wait for Flanders.

665
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:31,040
Well Graham had 84 points, just a tackling machine. So when he can get games where he can chase people

666
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,720
down and get those tackles, like they're using in the midfield often enough. So that's pretty

667
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:39,280
positive thing to see for people that have either draft him or picked him up off waivers.

668
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,680
And a couple of games in the NT in the next couple of weeks. There are a lot of tackles to be had up there.

669
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,560
A lot of tackles to be had. So you would be pretty stoked and definitely streamer option. I think he

670
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,800
should be only field in most formats for those couple of games up in Darwin. That was actually his

671
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:58,640
lowest CBA game and still put up one of his better scores, say good signs there. Jake Rogers had 69

672
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,240
points. He was a good underage squad. That's the reason why I mentioned him even though he didn't score

673
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:06,800
super fantastically, but he's going to be used as a forward only, I think for the first few

674
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,360
seasons, because even like with Graham is a deep midfield, then how much you like stocky put in

675
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,480
young players coming into that midfield? Well, it's a funny question that you ask. I saw someone

676
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,040
post on socials and I'm assuming somewhat time in cheek, but so many of their players having

677
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,960
DP based status. Yeah. He's like, what do you think about my ins this week? And it was completing an

678
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:28,720
eight person Gold Coast midfield. So flam as he did slid in and closey and will Graham. And

679
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:34,160
Jake Rogers was the final point of an eight man Gold Coast midfield. So it's Humphrey's four-on.

680
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:40,800
I mean, are you happy with where? Are we flying? No, absolutely not, but I suppose you could have a

681
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,520
pretty decent Gold Coast midfield. Nice forward only anyways, it doesn't matter. I think just with

682
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,760
some of these guys, the flamers, obviously a couple of the big names and the rest took Sanis and

683
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:54,000
well, the worst midfield in fantasy, wouldn't it? No, I wouldn't have thought so, but he's

684
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,080
flying forward. He's not really going to be moving into that midfield any time soon. No, I can't see it.

685
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,880
And the only one for West Coast was Jack Petri Chely had 98 points, lots of midfield time. We saw

686
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:08,720
this last season where he had, I guess, quite an uptick in CBAs in some games and generally went 80 plus in

687
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:14,080
those games where he did. And we saw it in the pre-season, but didn't really happen come round one.

688
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,400
Haley Reed was out. So I feel like he might have just... It's kind of what I was thinking about.

689
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:27,120
I wouldn't look too far past the Haley Reed out. If he's doing it again next week, then you might

690
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:33,520
start to think about it. Now speaking of doing it again this week, I'm tomorrow. I've got a bit of

691
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:38,800
a statement coming out on the socials TikTok Instagram and it's actually my public apology to

692
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:46,160
Jake Warteman, Truthers, out there. 390 plus scores. Now he's officially took it for the podcast. Two

693
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:51,760
weeks ago, I basically said it's never going to happen again. And now he's actually a very viable

694
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:59,200
f-futable f-4 option out there, maybe even f-3. He has at his three probably easiest matchups for

695
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:03,600
the season. We'll see how it goes from then onwards. But like I said, last week he did actually have

696
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:08,080
his 70 last season as well, which he'd take as a four every day. He finds a way to keep some

697
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,920
big goals between the sticks and the reality is is that's worth a 50 points. Exactly.

698
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:17,360
So it keeps up that run, right? You'd be pretty stoked. Yeah, definitely keep those hate comments

699
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:22,480
coming up in my TikTok account about the bagging Jake Warteman because it keeps the algorithm going.

700
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,400
Can I get lots of views? So yeah, but yeah, tomorrow will be the public apology. So I'll look forward

701
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,120
to all the riff raff on that comment section there. Last game of the round, we'll get through it

702
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,120
quite quickly. So Jake can actually get back to work. He's kind enough to turn his on his lunch break.

703
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,840
I love it, right? Yeah, Jack Scream sure is the first one. Now he's on the bubble, I think,

704
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:44,560
for the two good for the podcast. 87 points this week. Is he picking up more points as Cicely plays?

705
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,560
Is more of a key defender, do you think? Oh, absolutely. Weedly enough, I grabbed him off of

706
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,760
a wave this week. I'm not sure what happened there. I'm not sure that that's something that you'd be

707
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,400
seeing in too many leagues, but pretty stoked. I had Tom Stewart out. Jack Scream sure was a nice

708
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,440
little replacement. Happy days. Well, I feel sorry for Simo who writes for the website. I gave him

709
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,520
the advice to drop Scream sure I think in round one or two. Yeah, he's kind of good to say, yeah,

710
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:10,880
and I'm really good at fantasy. I love that, I don't have a crystal ball, right? I'm just guessing.

711
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:19,280
Like all of us. Oliver Florent had 131 points. This was on a 64 point last quarter. That's a

712
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:25,600
say. 64 points in a quarter. I think Kaze was on top in his matchup and then Florent came through

713
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:31,200
and just finished him. Yeah, you would hate 64 points of last quarter. Well, I just saw in the

714
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:37,440
group chat was fucking. Yeah, pretty funny there. I think he might be too good for the podcast as

715
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,920
well. I just don't numbers, but you're not expecting a 64 point last quarter each week. That's

716
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:47,040
for sure. No, I think what marks, I mean, the junk in that backline is obscene as my 12 for Blakey,

717
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:53,920
Gordon, Lloyd, Ken for Florent, Nine for Cunningham, McCarton, Roberts. Even six. Louis Melligan put

718
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,080
up a 72. Yeah, if any heartchat listeners were running with Mellicans as a statistic now as they

719
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,560
had good a player is, well, it's what 72 this week. So not many players even put up two Louis Mellicans,

720
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,880
which says, says a lot about how that game transpired for Sydney fans. Yeah, that's a fair call.

721
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,200
Well, you mentioned Jake Lloyd, I mentioned I dropped him on the weekend. I've got some new data

722
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:16,960
on the back of this. So he scored 120 points on the wake up bench. He's now averaging 100 this season

723
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:22,800
at the MCG. So three games at the G. He's got an average of 100 at the G. He's averaging 61

724
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,840
at the SCG. So it might be something to do with the bigger grounds playing on that wing, but Jayse,

725
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,480
there's getting a lot of cheaps. I just, this week, I think this game all at all as Sydney fans or

726
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,120
anyone with Sydney defenders, it's definitely not something to expect every week. But I'm definitely

727
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,280
going to stream Jake Lloyd the next time he plays at MCG. I'll probably put him back on field and just

728
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,120
like cop the 60s for the week that you're going to cop the 100, but I'm not going to try to pick it.

729
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:50,240
And the last one for this game was Justin Macanoni. He was actually subbed out, but had 86 points

730
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:56,080
with his newly crowned forward status. Only the six CBAs this week. So like it's great that you can

731
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,520
still score without him, but it's just going to highlight the changing nature of Sydney and they

732
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,840
just rotate so many things in there. Luke Parker is going to come back in this week. Who's that going to

733
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:08,000
affect all that sort of stuff? Do they rest? Taylor Adams came off with a bit of a knock. So I make

734
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,600
my mind every week. That's true. That might manage him this week. I don't know what it's going to affect,

735
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,520
but there's a lot of different things changing all the time at Sydney. So just keep your eyes on that

736
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,160
to see what happens. The last lot of goal members, I have to read out 30 per episode to get through

737
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:30,320
them all in a season. Thank you to John Kenyon Henry Katz Tyler Wagner, Brenton Hull, Andrew C,

738
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:40,000
Johnny Utah, KJ Mann, knock bow, Don, Cameron Leicester, Tristan Singh, Brad Asher, Richard Able, Jerry

739
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:47,600
Naden, Nick Chils Lesky, Chilesky, Chilesky. Thank you. And Daniel Schmidt again. Thank you,

740
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:52,400
those goal members keeping this podcast going. We'll rush through the questions. One quick question is

741
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,720
getting Andrew C as Chris C's brother. I was thinking that is low on a red air. Yes, I think

742
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:03,680
definitely. That's how this works. Maybe they're saying I'm just C. Let's get through the questions

743
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:09,440
quickly so you can get back to work. Hobb, travel, I1,4. What has happened to Trudge Watch? The boy

744
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:15,440
is killing it in the VFL still. Any chance of supplementary signing? Are you privy to a Trudge Watch?

745
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,720
I'm not. I'm going to have Connor look at this a bit blankly like I'm going to cover for you.

746
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,680
Someone K's and Dossie were on the podcast. They were obsessed with Joel Trudgeon, a VFL player who's

747
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,760
now played for three clubs in three seasons and he just puts up monster scores in the VFL

748
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,720
each year. I think he was Carlton, Box Hill, I think he's at Coburg Lines now as well. So he's not in

749
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,080
the NFL. I feel he had ones anymore. But yeah, I don't know. I feel and he is aware of the, he's aware

750
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,760
of Trudge Watch. He's actually great. I've got in contact with the page as well. I thought it was

751
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:46,800
Larry's, followed us on Instagram, sort of shit. I've got him on Instagram. My mod is well just

752
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,760
sent me a message and say, "We might do an interview or something like that." That's the question.

753
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:55,360
Let us know if you want to see Trudge Watch or I won't go out of my way to do it. But if there are

754
00:58:55,360 --> 00:59:00,720
enough people out there that want me to check in with the Trudge. I saw the other one, the

755
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:07,040
All of American Aces boys got on top of that Darwin footballer. They had 81. Was that a prime

756
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,880
trade? Yeah, yeah. He's got a pretty big, I was about the same, most people probably know him. Yeah, yeah.

757
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,640
The prime is, but yeah, he won't touch us and he's like, "Here's the video to prove I actually had

758
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,880
them to." I've seen a lot of his videos. I wasn't sure if he was actually that good or he just had

759
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:23,360
like a social media presence, but you know, 80 touches. To be fair, you watch it and it just gives off

760
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:27,200
gets back to his eyes. Yeah, it's like the boys kind of feed the kind of a bit to get him up to the

761
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,320
actual. No, it would have been good for the socials. You can get anyone touches in game.

762
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:36,080
Major Van Bam is asking, is Jace Burgoyne playing wing and rolling up to the stoppage?

763
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,880
Yes, essentially that's what's happening. And Petra Chelley is asking is he playing mid? Again,

764
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:45,120
yes, he did this week, but Harley Reed's coming back. So just kind of ride it out to see what happens

765
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:53,280
there. At Leewood Bridge is asking, "I've got, I've been holding Ashcroft day meals all year,

766
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,600
but danger out injured has me down a mid. Should I cut him?" I think it depends entirely on what

767
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,560
you squad looks like, really. Danger food, like, he doesn't understand the hammy. He'll probably be

768
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:10,160
out for six weeks now. Yep, Dracon. Again, if you can cover him, keep him because he's worth

769
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,880
owning it if you can make the font. He's handy, but if he's going to struggle with Adam,

770
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,480
he teams down the bottom. He's not part of your future plans. I think it's safe to cut him.

771
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,480
You can't be running with a zero. Like it depends as well. If you've got a mid forward,

772
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,240
you can slide in there and your replacement is one of these guys that you've spoken about as a

773
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,600
prospective F5. We'll try and hold him on, but you can't be running a zero.

774
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,680
And with World Day, he returned last week, obviously, only scored 47 points, but they were

775
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,600
always saying he's going to be in a restricted mid-fib minutes for his first few weeks. So just

776
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,120
persists with him and he'll be good. Again, if you're not in contention, just run with it and

777
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:47,440
see how you go. Okay, so, Dilly Docker is asking, "What's a fair trade for Mills in a Keepleague?"

778
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,600
And I struggled to come up with an answer for this. I looked at my team, and I was like, "Who would

779
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:57,760
I trade out? What would I offer that I think the owner of Mills might say yes to?" And the only

780
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:02,560
player I could think of is like, maybe Jay called well in my team, but would I give up a forward

781
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,640
that's averaging 85? I wouldn't do that, Jay. Exactly. I mean, if I was the Mills, I'd do that trade.

782
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:11,440
Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. But that's the only thing out. I guess I'm talking my team specifically,

783
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:16,000
there's not a lot more I would give. And even then, I don't think I would give it. Yeah, I wouldn't

784
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:21,680
give up, could well. Mills is one of those guys for me that if you're competing or the person that

785
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,680
has them is at this point of the year, you get a real feel as to where someone sits in the ladder,

786
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,160
right? So for me, if I use that home league, I mentioned underfaded, I'd be happy to bring in a

787
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,560
Mills or someone like that and give up someone that's playing pretty well at the moment, maybe slightly

788
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:39,600
overs because then come finals time. I'm really stoked. I have someone like Mills coming in. Whereas if

789
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:45,760
someone similarly is sitting there kind of top eight finals and they're sitting at 11th, they need

790
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:50,000
to move Mills on because they need some wins before finals and you try and low ball and get someone

791
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:55,840
a little bit cheaper. For me, I probably wouldn't be paying more than a bottom two fuelable player in my

792
01:01:55,840 --> 01:02:02,720
side as in each line. So like a D5, D6. See for me, that's like Steven May. They're not going to go

793
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,720
for that. That's the type of thing. So I love the same thing. The only trade I could think of that would

794
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:11,280
maybe get it over the line, but I wouldn't want to do it. It's hard. It's probably something a bit less

795
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:16,240
than that with a few picks thrown in and it all depends on the context of where the teams are

796
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:22,160
that are trading him essentially. But always the owner, owner is going to overvalue it because he

797
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,200
knows he's coming back and then the guy trading has got undervalued it because he's trying to get

798
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,920
something a bit cheaper for a guy as injured. They never go well with those trades and they never fare

799
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:37,200
anyway and they most often don't actually come off. If someone has him and they're not looking like

800
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,640
playing finals right now but they think they're so good enough, they're the types of players that

801
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,000
I'd make because they're probably more inclined to move him on to get the wins they need to play.

802
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,440
Even my side, I'm a top four top three team in our league but I don't have faith in my side to

803
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:54,240
be like to win the flag so I'm still thinking of next year like I don't want to trade out for

804
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,320
someone like that. I want to keep my younger players in and stuff like that so yeah I wouldn't go

805
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:03,920
near it. Otherwise I'm throwing away a potential good future player for an injury guy, you know what I mean?

806
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:08,640
Give me one good reason to keep Gio Simkin instead of throwing my boy back in the pool in

807
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,800
disgust. Please anything I don't want to but it feels like a divorce is inevitable.

808
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,720
It's a good question. Can you give him a reason? I can give him a reason. I don't think I've

809
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:21,600
got most. Big up to get CBAs, 30 in their CBAs this week and anyone who has a Tom Pell in classic

810
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:26,240
would be well aware of Gio Simkin's up to get CBAs because apparently 34 from Tom Pell is a

811
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:32,400
forward is what we should expect so that role is somewhat interchangeable but North are still

812
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,320
looking quite poor. They've still only had how many wins five wins in the last five years or something

813
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:42,400
crazy. I'm hoping the power thing is just he needed a rest so they rested him forward but I don't

814
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:49,520
know like Gio Simkin did nothing on the weekend so like I don't know. Yeah, that's the reason I gave

815
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:54,320
last week as well is like he's had his two best scores in the lot before this week. He had his two

816
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:58,640
best scores for the season with his highest CBA numbers for the season. This season this week was

817
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:02,960
the highest but then went back to the 40s so I can't really, the only thing is yeah probably the same

818
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:09,040
thing is the CBA numbers and that's about it. More tired of wants to know draws yes or no so the

819
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:15,360
draws you know. I'm a yes guy. I like to enjoy the draw. I see it in two ways like it seems so weird

820
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,120
that like like think about Premier League right and there's lots of like you know soccer and stuff

821
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,960
like that there's draws and but it's part of the game and it seems more natural because like there's

822
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,280
less scoring going on but when there's so many like variables to your scoring you can have X

823
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:32,800
amount of goals and X amount of behinds as well it seems like you should less likely end on a draw

824
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,120
yeah and if there is a draw you should just settle it. I think I think you end up on a draw and

825
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:42,480
it's like we're after 120 hours football week could not separate all the things that happen. It seems

826
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:47,120
crazy to go you know if you move to the golden goal for five minutes but then that seems

827
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,400
unfair to the side of that way. That's the other thing yeah the manner of how you would decide it

828
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:55,440
I just can't think of a way I'd like. Like I think the extra time is fine but like it really like

829
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:00,000
footies such a recovery based sport like most teams only train once a week type thing you're

830
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,840
basically fucking that team for the next week. Yeah it turns into recovery and stuff like that it's

831
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:12,320
a tricky one so I'd say no I'm happy with the way it is. I'm a big draw also yeah it's fine. Yeah

832
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:18,640
we'll both go yes. G Sanbow 16 ranked these five forwards in red raft and this is really tricky

833
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:27,120
pal Baker McAnone and McRae. I'm Jackson sorry so pal Baker McAnone McRae Jackson. Now I've kind

834
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:32,560
of had a bit of a look at this and essentially McRae I think it's going to be a 90 average forward

835
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:40,240
pretty safe so I'd probably go him first Baker and McAnone I couldn't split because like Baker

836
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:46,080
is playing that inside role at the moment but could go revert to not being an inside midfielder

837
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:51,520
whereas McAnone gets you know around the 70 to 80 most weeks without having to have that role

838
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,920
but Baker with that kind of role going forward could be better off so and then I've got

839
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:00,880
power on last week's numbers I would have had power number one like easily two weeks ago yeah

840
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:05,360
but now I'm just uncertain it's a week's a long time in here it's about two weeks ago McRae's not

841
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,360
on this list yeah yeah sitting at number one right like yeah so like Baker's showing me no signs that

842
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,920
he's not going to stop getting those CBS and so I'm keeping Baker to Maconone's third

843
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:19,040
power drops down to fourth Jackson five but there's a few weeks ago that list would look completely

844
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,160
different and in two weeks time it's probably going to look different again so I'm looking at this

845
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,640
list purely on a longevity basis but the second part I think we have to factor in here we're

846
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:31,680
saying read draft though so it's for this season you agree sorry I say as in as in longevity of role now

847
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:36,080
I think Sean Darcy we had injured again like I saw these kind of things you know this week

848
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,840
yet he's down training but what do I think he averages for the rest of the year I think he can

849
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:45,120
probably push you know higher 70s yeah power that's so dependent but the other thing that we have

850
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:51,040
to consider is also their DPP up yeah so Baker for me probably might sit at number one just a defender

851
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:56,000
forward I love the defender forwards I'll die on my heel yeah having one or two of them in your

852
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,160
side every year yeah just makes your season a hell of a lot easier so I think for me Baker goes ahead

853
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,560
of McCray just because we've seen McCray not even in the side a couple of weeks ago and I think Liam

854
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:10,800
Baker's a concern of that so it's probably Baker McCray and then the other three almost blanketed

855
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,760
I like Jackson more A as a rock I think it's nice to have that one for a two true true he probably

856
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,920
sits ahead of Maconone and yeah power a few weeks ago it's completely different world after seeing

857
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:27,040
a 34 it's hard to give him any props so yeah I'd do a like I do like the approach of that and like

858
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:31,760
I said in two weeks time I'll this will probably look completely different as well but we'll leave

859
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:37,760
it at that I think Jake thank you so much for coming on the podcast this week I give hatch at a
