Round 15 Review: Is Mitch Back?

[SPEAKER_01]: We are backing up in a bad guys. [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about round fifteen and it's accessible round that it was and how we're going to be taking shots of rum every Friday nights. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go! [SPEAKER_04]: Becomes a man here. [SPEAKER_01]: Good day and welcome again to the Ball Boys AFL Fantasy podcast. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host Mitch Casey and you can find me on Twitter at Ball Boys Fantasy and I am joined once again by my co-host Luke Roderson.

[SPEAKER_01]: How are you, my friend? [SPEAKER_01]: I'm good mate. [SPEAKER_03]: I have acknowledged my role on the podcast once again as the shit kicker. [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm happy to report that you are moving up the rankings and you killed it this weekend. [SPEAKER_01]: I made this. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we set off the top of the show. [SPEAKER_01]: This, this is a new, this is a new process. [SPEAKER_01]: We talk about process over results.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, when they match up together, we're going to keep doing it made last week. [SPEAKER_01]: We got a few, a few runs on the, on the front and out live show. [SPEAKER_01]: You took him like a champ. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: And, and look, I produce a top, three hundred round rank for the week. [SPEAKER_01]: So this is unheard of. [SPEAKER_01]: Is this a flash in the pan? [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, this is a sign of things to calm mate.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is this is my team finally getting the message. [SPEAKER_01]: Fifteen weeks late that we're gonna we're gonna storm home in the back half of the season all the players that have been killing you perform well. [SPEAKER_03]: It's actually Max Holmes didn't go real well. [SPEAKER_01]: Max Holmes sucked and that's sort of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I missed a couple of big scores but still [SPEAKER_01]: couple of big unique players in my side that went big we'll get to a few of them in the box and flocks segment but before we go there look how did your team go not well I don't know how it compared to others for the round but nineteen oh seven and [SPEAKER_03]: I can't even remember what my rank was prior to this week, but I'm mid-six thousand's mid-to-late-six thousand. [SPEAKER_03]: That's a move up. [SPEAKER_03]: Or Bellio.

[SPEAKER_03]: It seems very, very, very, same, same. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: But I moved up to, I'm going to up to three thousand, three hundred and seventy-two. [SPEAKER_01]: Which is my highest rank since [SPEAKER_01]: I think since I went camping. [SPEAKER_01]: I think the week we went camping. [SPEAKER_01]: The big camping to the infamous camp before was I was about this spot and then our ten thousand ranks backwards, but point wise how far from safe top one thousand do you know?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not getting there. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited. [SPEAKER_01]: So you're saying there's a chance. [SPEAKER_01]: No, but let's go. [SPEAKER_01]: But I do feel like it was a good step for Mitchment this past week. [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see if we can capitalize and keep moving on. [SPEAKER_01]: Beautiful. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk camel first. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get hump it.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, hump of the week, or camel of the week for the first, the first, the boy. [SPEAKER_01]: Don't tell us your hump for the week. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go. [SPEAKER_01]: It is going to, well, speaking of humping. [SPEAKER_01]: Hornie. [SPEAKER_01]: Hornie, take it away here, Luke, because this is your man here. [SPEAKER_01]: I preached all week about not bringing this man in.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I take a little bit of responsibility here because he was high in my trade targets until I saw the video of him. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this was this was not your fault. [SPEAKER_03]: This was quite clearly my fault. [SPEAKER_03]: All last week if you you want to go back and check it out. [SPEAKER_03]: I was absolutely no on the horny. [SPEAKER_03]: I said he didn't play the the role that we wanted. [SPEAKER_03]: He obviously got the stinger.

[SPEAKER_03]: you know, why do we expect him to come back in, injured, and now play the role that we want. [SPEAKER_03]: I said, don't trade this guy in and what did I do? [SPEAKER_03]: I traded this guy in. [SPEAKER_03]: I was I was four K short. [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was two K short of, um, were they four K apart? [SPEAKER_03]: Same does. [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: And they were four K. So I think I was two K short. [SPEAKER_03]: I had two K left over after I traded in Haunt Francis.

[SPEAKER_03]: I much would have preferred, uh, Darcy and with with hindsight, I definitely would have preferred Darcy. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so Hornie, Hornie boy. [SPEAKER_03]: It was disgraceful. [SPEAKER_03]: One arm or not, just don't keep me that rubbish. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the reason I went away from all the frances, the footage, you know, him trying to catch the ball, like, it was for the camera. [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't fish it, it was just one arm, just absolutely not moving at all.

[SPEAKER_01]: And what I thought was a good [SPEAKER_01]: You know, fitness tests on the radio turns out they were banned as wrong shoulder. [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't the right shoulder. [SPEAKER_01]: It was the wrong shoulder. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, it was his left and he'd injured his right. [SPEAKER_01]: Had strapping on the right. [SPEAKER_01]: So that was some terrible gear from Triple M I think it was. [SPEAKER_03]: I think regardless of that, the problem was the lack of CBAs.

[SPEAKER_03]: He played in the played forward in a game, half forward in a game where Mitchell Jardies keep seven goals the week before. [SPEAKER_03]: So all the flags are there. [SPEAKER_01]: So the main couldn't tackle like one tackle and he can't play in the midfield when he's playing with one shoulder. [SPEAKER_01]: He can only take chest marks basically maybe on the camel of the wake because I just hate points. [SPEAKER_03]: That could be something.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let's get positive in absorbing a yellow and porous. [SPEAKER_03]: absorbent and yellow and porous. [SPEAKER_03]: You had the big score for this week, but you didn't have our applause. [SPEAKER_01]: Did it have this, so man imagine if I did? [SPEAKER_01]: I would have been flying, but he might be so absorbent and porous that you reckon he might have sponged his way out on a team perhaps. [SPEAKER_03]: The definition of sponges is not necessarily playing really well.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just getting points where you really shouldn't. [SPEAKER_03]: And same docketie typified that on the weekend for mine. [SPEAKER_03]: I think he had a sixteen mask in fact, check me, Mitch, but [SPEAKER_03]: He did. [SPEAKER_03]: He might have seen the final score in the Carlton North Melbourne game, and it looks somewhat respectable, but North Melbourne, they pumped it.

[SPEAKER_03]: They made Carlton look silly in the second and third quarters, and San Dockley wasn't horrific, but there were a couple of points there where he might just overrun the footy, or he'd off a kick that was never there. [SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know what Vosci chooses to do. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's another pump on him here in, you know, better. [SPEAKER_03]: The questions for his job or the performance on the weekend, you know, probably explains that a little bit.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it would just depend on who he's going to put in the gun, but I think he's going to make some statements. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, let's hope if you own Sam Dockley. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not, it's not the job. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, a hundred and thirty one at least for this week is a massive massive score for someone who is still priced at a hundred thousand. [SPEAKER_01]: He's been a great pick.

[SPEAKER_01]: since coming off his bar around one twelve seventy one one thirty one so in his last three averaging hundred and five points when he was priced at basically twenty points or a little bit more than twenty points below that essentially uh... maybe twenty five points below that so good return so far uh... let's see how long it can last but i think uh... yeah you can't complain with that score if you're looking to buy him i think it might be too late but

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, great, great spongey behavior. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's rewind to Thursday night with some bugs and vlogs. [SPEAKER_01]: the normal Smith medal. [SPEAKER_01]: You're an embarrassment to what you do mate. [SPEAKER_01]: Alright, who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that?

[SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_03]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that? [SPEAKER_01]: Who's that?

[SPEAKER_01]: If I do remember they smash them. [SPEAKER_01]: So it like the style is a line for Luke Jackson to absolutely have a massive massive game. [SPEAKER_01]: He was the number one Ford target. [SPEAKER_01]: If I had an extra hundred K, I would have gone there, but happy with my trade-in, but he [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, massive, massive game does he, does he hold out Sean Darcy with performances like this? [SPEAKER_03]: I wrote in my round review for the Patreon members.

[SPEAKER_03]: Why would you bring Sean Darcy back into the team? [SPEAKER_03]: I think they look more dynamic with Luke Jackson in there. [SPEAKER_03]: Admittedly, Estyn and haven't been setting the world on fire, but two rocks just doesn't work in twenty five does it. [SPEAKER_03]: The thing here is, if you've got a rockman like a Luke Jackson, he's had twenty one touches, which is fantastic. [SPEAKER_03]: He obviously dominated the hitouts, but the three goals is killer.

[SPEAKER_03]: So again, I know that they walked over as soon, but the fact that you've got a guy who's athletic enough to do his work in the middle and push forward, it's very impressive. [SPEAKER_03]: Shout out to Caleb Sirong, who killed it again. [SPEAKER_01]: My boy! [SPEAKER_01]: My boy Sirong, I always believed in him. [SPEAKER_01]: I always believed in him, punch it averaging player. [SPEAKER_03]: Talk me through the vlog in this game, because I cannot get my head around this.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's tagged. [SPEAKER_01]: So Zack Merritt is the vlog in this one. [SPEAKER_01]: He's been fifty percent CBA. [SPEAKER_01]: He is having a rough time of it. [SPEAKER_01]: So he's last four games. [SPEAKER_01]: He's gone fifty seven ninety four seventy nine ninety four. [SPEAKER_01]: He went the one forty nine and then a fifty four the game before that. [SPEAKER_01]: So this is second fifty in six weeks. [SPEAKER_01]: And only one one time in that time.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was a one fifty but. [SPEAKER_01]: He is, yeah, he is plummeting in value. [SPEAKER_01]: And if you held on just to get his buy, he absolutely kicked you in the nuts this week because that is, that is no way to send your team off into going to your bar room because I don't imagine he being a lot of, a lot of rage trades this week, Luke, because that is a very shit at school. [SPEAKER_03]: To keep with the motif of testicles on the jib rock, I will be trading him in next week.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, in round. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Going into the Gold Coast. [SPEAKER_01]: He's coming. [SPEAKER_03]: What? [SPEAKER_03]: Why not? [SPEAKER_03]: Why not? [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, so I give him's one thirty six. [SPEAKER_01]: I do think you will want him for that Richmond match up. [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe go another one, maybe. [SPEAKER_03]: For me, where I'm ranked, it doesn't matter.

[SPEAKER_03]: Jolong and Brisbane Josh Dunkley is there's talk obviously of him playing a more defensive role. [SPEAKER_03]: This is what he can do still in that defensive role. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know that there's anyone that can score the way he does. [SPEAKER_03]: even when he's playing that kind of lock down guy at stoppage. [SPEAKER_03]: So a couple of quiet ones, but don't clearly repay the faith if you have. [SPEAKER_01]: This is the third time this season.

[SPEAKER_01]: He said ten tackles in a game. [SPEAKER_01]: He's also had another game with nine tackles, two other games with eight tackles. [SPEAKER_01]: He's just one of the best in the business at doing that. [SPEAKER_01]: And so a lot of people were hoping to trade him out at this round. [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe this is enough to keep him in your side, but he was always capable of doing this. [SPEAKER_01]: So shout out to him. [SPEAKER_01]: Kai Loman, I'm given the vlog. [SPEAKER_01]: Bitter!

[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not harsh, because... [SPEAKER_01]: where was this the week before when I had him in my side I traded this man out because he's a sub risk and he's an injury risk yeah yeah and no he comes out has the quarter of his life in the first quarter he took a massive pack mark like I think the first or second play of the game it actually got like overruled one of his teammates push someone in the contest so had he done that it would have been another twelve points going to him

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's his biggest score of the season on the week that I trade him out right before his buy. [SPEAKER_01]: So he just gets the vlog for my selfish reasons. [SPEAKER_01]: The fact that I traded him out and he's going on to flourish without me. [SPEAKER_01]: It's just he won the break up loop and we don't we don't stand for that here in this podcast. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to give the bulk here the Colby McCurtza. [SPEAKER_03]: He didn't turn up.

[SPEAKER_03]: He scored a ninety-nine, but we're just watching this game. [SPEAKER_03]: He said twenty-nine touches his kick two goals and he was a huge reason in that second quarter for North Melbourne getting on top. [SPEAKER_03]: He scored forty points in that second quarter. [SPEAKER_03]: And he looked at every bit what we want off half back. [SPEAKER_03]: The only little thing there is he looks so good that I think teams might even give him some attention.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he started to get a little bit of that, didn't he? [SPEAKER_01]: Am I right in saying that? [SPEAKER_03]: Well, we'll talk about that. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about that now. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a good segue, actually, because the vlog in this one is Michael Ross. [SPEAKER_03]: The attention, look, I wasn't watching this super close. [SPEAKER_03]: The commentators did call it at one point, but are we really giving Caleb Daniel? [SPEAKER_01]: See, this to me is hilarious.

[SPEAKER_01]: If Caleb Daniel, who we've talked about him a few times this season saying, [SPEAKER_01]: He might not be in their best twenty two. [SPEAKER_01]: He might be someone who could be on the outers of that team. [SPEAKER_01]: And if he's copying a tag attention in a game where you've got Harry Sheezle, you've got Tom Power, you've got Colby McCurcher, you've got LD fucking you. [SPEAKER_01]: You've got all these other threats there that actually do a lot for this team.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it just blows my mind that they've come into this game and gone to Cal Daniels their first tag. [SPEAKER_03]: I think like you said, maybe as the game wore on, I think maybe that attention when across, but the only thing that held Colby back was a poor start to be honest, which is, you know, funny considering the attention maybe started with Daniel, he scored nine points in the first quarter and then obviously ninety thereafter.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um, so what on Colby and you don't give a shout out as well to Harry fucking Sheezle who's got a hundred and sixteen with one CBA yeah, he's a got one CBA he gets me in is just he's [SPEAKER_01]: I can't say the best fantasy player in the game, but he's up there. [SPEAKER_03]: He said these top five.

[SPEAKER_03]: I said this last week I said if I was coaching Harry Sheez or I would just say mate you go wherever you want and you do whatever you want and it feels like he's doing that if he wants to push up the ground and get around stopage you can. [SPEAKER_03]: So I think I think that despite the seemingly poor role we still love that guy. [SPEAKER_01]: I'd love to I'd love to do a rankings one day where you just go if the player was playing in their perfect position.

[SPEAKER_01]: You could guarantee that who would be the best fantasy player between him, Ron Marshall, Bailey Smith. [SPEAKER_01]: There's some really, really gun players out there. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he would definitely be consideration for a top list. [SPEAKER_01]: Did you catch the port Sydney game at all, man? [SPEAKER_01]: I did not catch this one. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, actually did I?

[SPEAKER_01]: I think I caught a little bit of this one, not the entire game, but the bog and this one goes to Brody Grande, who I think had a massive last quarter. [SPEAKER_01]: I want to say yeah, forty-nine point last quarter, which you love to see. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people trade them in off the Max Cornt last week and we're looking for that incident award and they got it. [SPEAKER_01]: One, twenty-one. [SPEAKER_01]: He was in the big boys for the first time of the season.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, maybe a second time this season and repaid the faith. [SPEAKER_01]: And again, where really there wasn't too much [SPEAKER_01]: to really get excited about from a fantasy point of view. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Heenie scored a hundred and eleven and I believe was also getting some attention early on, but that obviously didn't work and Sidney got the W. So, Grundee, for those of you who traded him in last week, he gets the bog. [SPEAKER_03]: I was speaking of not excited.

[SPEAKER_03]: I told you who wasn't exciting. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's Chad Warner. [SPEAKER_03]: He hasn't done well in his last three outings. [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm thinking of giving Warner a warning. [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good one. [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good one. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, very disappointing. [SPEAKER_01]: And he's, he's also seeing a little bit of a dip in his CBAs. [SPEAKER_01]: I believe as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: We had Earl Goulden return, although he wasn't back to his Earl Goulden ways, like my spicy take predicted. [SPEAKER_01]: He is someone that can play forward. [SPEAKER_01]: He played thirty seven percent CBAs after forty two, forty seven, the two prior. [SPEAKER_01]: So you look at that nice stretch of green.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's where, that's where, [SPEAKER_01]: Charter one was going well with seventy seventy seventy three seventy four sixty one seventy seven percent CBS and his last three like you mentioned forty forty seven and thirty seven is coincided with his poor scoring so if that's clear roll shift he might be someone that needs to be traded. [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that he would just get more involved as one of the best players in that team but.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to use them more forward like they are at the moment. [SPEAKER_01]: You can't really hang around on our sides. [SPEAKER_03]: Colleagues killed it. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think either of us caught this one, but Wang is the best on ground. [SPEAKER_03]: You guys know I could talk Wang all day, but let's just say D. One Wang potentially. [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm going to go out on a limb and say this. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he is now. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, nice.

[SPEAKER_01]: The third one. [SPEAKER_01]: All the fifth one. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go out and say that I think he is the highest averaging defender now on the season. [SPEAKER_01]: I want to say it was Rosie. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's picked Rosie. [SPEAKER_01]: He picked lucky Whitfield, obviously, who went down with the injury. [SPEAKER_01]: So he is now the highest averaging defender.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to say he is like getting pretty close to highest averaging play. [SPEAKER_01]: So the only players that averaging more than him are Max Gorn. [SPEAKER_01]: Tim English! [SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about him in a sec. [SPEAKER_01]: And Jordan Dawson, so the fourth ice averaging player, I'm sorry, and also of course, Bally Smith. [SPEAKER_01]: So fifth ice averaging player on the season is our boy Wayne. [SPEAKER_01]: It's good. [SPEAKER_01]: What a gun.

[SPEAKER_01]: What a jet. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, his, his counterpart in Jackson Clear, we often think of those two together, is the vlog in this game, because I don't know what happened, but Jackson Clear just did not have a good night. [SPEAKER_03]: So if you've got seen clear in no way, if you need to correct that emphasis on the erect. [SPEAKER_01]: Nice. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Sinclair, five kick-ins, delaying seven, one CBA for Sinclair. [SPEAKER_01]: He's just getting out Sean.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let's move to Sunday. [SPEAKER_03]: And I wrote in my my review as well that you were in the full Pride and Locked position on Sunday. [SPEAKER_03]: This was my day. [SPEAKER_03]: This was your day so I'll let you take it.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I could have a couple of bugs in this game because well the bug we're going to give it to is Noah fucking Anderson now this is the kind of score I want to see when you get forty touches now still didn't quite bring the marks and tackles but when you kick a couple of goals

[SPEAKER_01]: that definitely brings things over in your favor and I believe he kicked a goal extremely late in this game are forty points in that final quarter to get himself to one thirty three as a unique pick for me I thought this might be a trouble game where he gets a bit of a bed for tag but not none of that here he just cruises through and yeah has a massive game great game this one as well are the are big [SPEAKER_01]: What are they called?

[SPEAKER_03]: The expansion clash with the suns. [SPEAKER_03]: The suns kicked four goals and about four minutes to start this game. [SPEAKER_03]: And then it was just Jedi was kind of peeking away, peeking away at it, and then in the fourth quarter running away with it. [SPEAKER_03]: So the fog in this one, I'm given it to Big Kingy because he laid out a very fantasy relevant lucky which failed on the year to twenty seven.

[SPEAKER_01]: So look, this not only hurt owners, but this hurt my Captain Picker. [SPEAKER_01]: Picks because he was number three on the big boys and it's plummeted. [SPEAKER_01]: It's plummeted my rankings now because I'm not actually sorry. [SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm still number one, but I would have been far and away I had of the season ranking.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I've got our number one lead ten points over this late who's my my Nemesis, but if I didn't have lucky with field in there at number three. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh mate [SPEAKER_01]: I've been soaring off into the sunset, so it sucks if you did and I know someone ties me on Twitter saying they had the captaincy on him and I did not know this look. [SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was not the case, but if you captain lucky with field and his fifty [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[SPEAKER_01]: Forty six points. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Which you would have got. [SPEAKER_01]: Forty six points. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of the times that wouldn't have counted in your best eighteen, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: You have to take that. [SPEAKER_04]: What? [SPEAKER_01]: You have to take your past school. [SPEAKER_01]: So that actually bumped out another higher score. [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_01]: which is apparently what happens.

[SPEAKER_01]: I need someone to confirm or deny this because I thought that it would just be your best ATM regardless. [SPEAKER_01]: You don't get your vice captain. [SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't tick over, but you don't get your captains better. [SPEAKER_01]: Apparently in the rules, your captain score has to count. [SPEAKER_01]: So that is, imagine not only getting fifty six from your captain, but that fifty six bumping out a better score, sold in the warms.

[SPEAKER_01]: That would, I'd actually quit. [SPEAKER_01]: I'd actually genuinely quit after that because that is, that's the height of unlucky. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you didn't quit because it went from good to gooder in the last game. [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't good for the Tigers, but it was good for Mitch's fantasy team. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Tim English. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good English there. [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so this man is the goat. [SPEAKER_01]: He is the best player that's ever been.

[SPEAKER_01]: I never doubted you in the preseason today. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, he weighs back. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and after round one, we had zero issues. [SPEAKER_01]: We were always back in our manning. [SPEAKER_01]: One, thirty-eight, and just dominated this game. [SPEAKER_01]: Kick two goals, intercept marks, was calling for little cheat balls. [SPEAKER_01]: We liked that. [SPEAKER_01]: And just got around the ground really, really well.

[SPEAKER_01]: One, thirty-eight, averaging a hundred and ten, the fourth highest averaging player in the competition, the second highest averaging rock. [SPEAKER_01]: Just give it up to the great man. [SPEAKER_01]: He's back. [SPEAKER_01]: You can't deny that it's officially Tim English season again. [SPEAKER_03]: He's doing his thing. [SPEAKER_03]: He's doing his thing. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we love watching it.

[SPEAKER_03]: What we didn't love watching was, I've got really near four K. [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, explain to this to me. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm talking dollars because this is to be was the difference between the Horde master and Sam Darcy. [SPEAKER_01]: It's four thousand dollars. [SPEAKER_01]: The most important for Kay. [SPEAKER_03]: If I ask you the question, Mitch, which of your co-host has been the one that has had his testicles mostly on the Jeep Rock over the last couple of weeks?

[SPEAKER_03]: Which co-host would it be? [SPEAKER_01]: The only one I've got. [SPEAKER_03]: It would be made. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: So. [SPEAKER_01]: I would have done this pick. [SPEAKER_01]: This would have been right up my alley. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: And I did it. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: And this is not normally a move that I would do, but I had not much other choice. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, jokes aside, Sam Dars, he's a fucking weapon.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he's an absolute weapon. [SPEAKER_01]: I will say, I thought that Noah Balta would actually be a decent opponent for him. [SPEAKER_01]: He looked absolutely out sea against Sand RC. [SPEAKER_01]: He was trying to do too much because I think he's used to being the most athletic player out there and being able to close that gap and he gives him a bit of space and comes in. [SPEAKER_01]: You can't do that with that. [SPEAKER_01]: You have to be right up behind him.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's like a wemby a phyllic river away. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the links in the reach. [SPEAKER_01]: He looks like a praying mantis, but he stands out there. [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, yeah, it's hard not to kick in the ball. [SPEAKER_01]: He's just such a big target. [SPEAKER_01]: So, interesting to see how he goes. [SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to have you at the oxalence bank, but not to be. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's talk to strategy. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk to strategies.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it is the final bar round. [SPEAKER_01]: We've made it, Luke. [SPEAKER_01]: And this Norma is where we should be making sure that our team is complete. [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of want the buyers to continue because my team ain't going to be complete. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to be as Zabriel's would say swimming naked. [SPEAKER_01]: How many rookies do you still have on field? [SPEAKER_03]: About eighteen. [SPEAKER_01]: No, seriously. [SPEAKER_01]: How many do you have?

[SPEAKER_03]: The trouble here is normally if you end up naked on the beach like Zave says, it's because you've been sideways in premiums to get good scores in the fire. [SPEAKER_03]: I've made my team worse with actually improved by rake. [SPEAKER_01]: You'd cross off all the rules. [SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm going to have at least, no, well, some of these mid prices are sketchy at best. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, maybe I'll have one rookie still on the field.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: No, I probably would be able to get him off, but the issue is the quality of players that I'm looking at. [SPEAKER_01]: So my question today is, I'm actually, when I started doing my trades this week, I've gone to look at the downgrades and in a weird turn of events, I haven't felt what this at all this sees you all of though. [SPEAKER_01]: There's some rookie downgrades. [SPEAKER_01]: There's some negative break-evens going around.

[SPEAKER_01]: We've got players like McCarthy, who's a must-have. [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a negative. [SPEAKER_01]: Once you've got negative twenty-five break-even, we've got Manny Litty. [SPEAKER_01]: Two ninety-six. [SPEAKER_01]: The legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave, the legs leave. [SPEAKER_01]: We've got Tyrell Dua. [SPEAKER_01]: Get him on your radar. [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a negative fourteen break even.

[SPEAKER_01]: And even next week, we can't get him this week, but Harry Roussen. [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a negative break even as well. [SPEAKER_01]: So we've got four players in the negatives when it comes to break evens. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I can remember a bar or sorry, any round outside of maybe the first couple where we had that. [SPEAKER_01]: We've even got this in teeny who's got negative one as a rock on the bar, but still for five negative break evens.

[SPEAKER_01]: Triple downgrade. [SPEAKER_01]: legit. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm considering it is this actual option considering. [SPEAKER_01]: So I still have one more rookie left upgrade to get to my full squad of premiums. [SPEAKER_01]: Now there's five trades between now and the next time we have twenty two premiums. [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to the upgrade next week. [SPEAKER_01]: So that's what I'm thinking banking some cash get these all three.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I need to get McCarthy, Litty, and Dua into my squad. [SPEAKER_01]: I would have to miss one of them. [SPEAKER_01]: to get an upgrade, and even if by doing that, because some of them are a little bit more expensive, especially like a Dua. [SPEAKER_01]: The upgrade I can get might not be like, it's not a Jordan door, some type, but next week it could be if I banked the cash this week and get the cash in. [SPEAKER_01]: So is that a play to delay that upgrade?

[SPEAKER_01]: It also means I'm gonna have twenty-two on field this week regardless. [SPEAKER_01]: Is that a play or should we bank the upgrade now while we can? [SPEAKER_01]: Because the risk is, well, what if there's carnage? [SPEAKER_01]: What if there's injuries or multiple injuries next week? [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm stuck with another rookie on field. [SPEAKER_01]: That being said, maybe Tom McArthur can pop that another hundred for us.

[SPEAKER_03]: The on field, some might have said that. [SPEAKER_03]: It has Johnson this week. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it's definitely a play. [SPEAKER_03]: The bit that I would like to kind of pencil in. [SPEAKER_03]: If I'm going to go triple downgrade this week, I wouldn't mind getting maybe two upgrades next week. [SPEAKER_03]: If I can get go straight to the top and get a Jordan Dawson and then also get, let's say somebody that I'm not fully convinced on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let's call it if you know, for me, I've still got fucking Matt Roberts there. [SPEAKER_03]: or I've got Caleb Daniels on. [SPEAKER_03]: So I'd like to if I was to put myself in that position and do a triple down there. [SPEAKER_01]: I do like a sideways and then next. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you've only got two trays next week to remember that. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, if you're able to pocket enough cash getting like the big upgrade to do a single line or single line, five logic. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Or something like that. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Depends who you're going down from as well. [SPEAKER_03]: Depends who you're obviously catching in to get these downgrades. [SPEAKER_03]: You mentioned Dwarr is pretty expensive. [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm looking at my bench and thinking there's not really much cash on the bench at the moment that I can take down. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's not much for me either. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm trading out players like Clark. [SPEAKER_01]: In my initial trade plans, I'm sending Zach Johnson straight back out. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trading him in last week for the fifty-seven K. I'm sending him right back out on his buy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've got me, me go, Isaac Keeler here who's probably made thirty K into weeks. [SPEAKER_01]: He's going out. [SPEAKER_01]: Which is actually an upgrade. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm upgrading him to do it. [SPEAKER_01]: It's cost me another hundred or ninety K. So, [SPEAKER_01]: But there's just, I don't know, there's something about making the most of this cash, which is staring us right in the face this week, where we haven't had much of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: And just in this situation that I'm in, if I already have twenty two players playing, yes, I could make a rookie a premium. [SPEAKER_01]: But that's going to be the difference between [SPEAKER_01]: You know, like a sixty on field, seventy on field. [SPEAKER_01]: Like I dropped off seventy last week. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm probably in that case making thirty thirty five points potentially.

[SPEAKER_03]: So what's the caliber of player that you're playing in, like give me the last spot in each line this week? [SPEAKER_01]: The last spot in each line, so the last spot for defense would be either McCarthy or Smith, probably Smith. [SPEAKER_01]: In the midfield, I've got seven midfield premiums playing and Lydia. [SPEAKER_01]: So you think he drops off and I've got Dua in my four premiums. [SPEAKER_01]: So I still have four rookies.

[SPEAKER_01]: I basically, I have twenty two, sorry, eighteen premiums playing this way. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: So by upgrading this week, I'm going to go to nine team premiums. [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm putting myself a little bit of a buffet if a premium sucks, then their score can drop off.

[SPEAKER_01]: how much am I actually gaining by operating this week versus making sure I get those negative break-evens get that extra fifty-k and then next week make sure I can get a Dawson or whether it's a merit coming into a nice fixture or talk about we feel or something like that later. [SPEAKER_01]: Those sort of like top of the line guys. [SPEAKER_03]: The trouble is, as well, and it depends how bullish you are on some of these downgraded that is mentioned talking about.

[SPEAKER_03]: So let's say you don't have McCarthy, you don't have Dawah, and who's one of the other ones to talk about? [SPEAKER_03]: Lydia, Lydia, and you want all three of those, and you also know that you probably want Rauston, next week. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, if he's still in a three, twenty seven, he's not. [SPEAKER_03]: Right up there. [SPEAKER_03]: Like trouble there is if you let's say you go two of the three this week and you won't rouse the next week you're missing one of them.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think the only scenario where you get all four is where you go all three. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so you got some last week. [SPEAKER_01]: So maybe you've already got MacArthur in a litty sitting you saw it. [SPEAKER_03]: And it depends how well as you are. [SPEAKER_03]: Do are of the four. [SPEAKER_03]: He's expensive. [SPEAKER_03]: Like we're talking about it. [SPEAKER_03]: He's almost, you know, five hundred K. Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: He's got a negative four name break even.

[SPEAKER_03]: But [SPEAKER_03]: The other thing about him too is that he's coming off a one, fifteen. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think that's kind of a sustainable number and he doesn't go into necessarily easy matchups coming off his buy either. [SPEAKER_03]: So you had a role change, like what? [SPEAKER_01]: I need to go if there's actually look at him. [SPEAKER_01]: There's no CBAs in the could he, was he one of those guys that went from like forward to like a wing or half back roll or something?

[SPEAKER_03]: I think if I'm honest, he's actually just accessing a little bit more game time now as well. [SPEAKER_03]: So he's kind of gone into the big. [SPEAKER_03]: He's gone to sort of the eighty percent. [SPEAKER_03]: eighty percent sort of roll but it's coming back into the team outside of a twenty-eight percent and a ten.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's looked a little bit more promising so yeah I don't think it's bad but it is expensive yeah he would be the guy if I if I had to cut out one he would be the one that would make way and this again is maybe a little bit selfish because this is how my team is structured up but I think some of the teams will be out there similarly positioned.

[SPEAKER_01]: If I would say if you had more than if you started to rookies or two players that you really wanted to upgrade you have to get one up this week because then you've still got another week next week and you want to enter that round seventeen you know week with twenty two premiums and I'm using the word premiums a little bit loosely because in my team I'm counting players like Daniel and whoever the hell I can turn these other guys into next week so

[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit of a loose phrasing, but I still think that that is sort of what we want to be setting our sights on as the main priority. [SPEAKER_01]: doing this has a little bit of a risk, like you said, if there's an injury or something like that. [SPEAKER_01]: But then again, maybe the cash next week would allow you to do more fix ups potentially. [SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, that's just sort of where my brain initially went.

[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't where I was expecting to go this week, but would just how some of those cheaper players went is something that I thought we should have a look at. [SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about best twenty-two as well. [SPEAKER_01]: And again, maybe some of the predictions on, and I want to talk also defense versus midfield, where we usually have, okay, six defenders, eight midfielders, six forwards, two rocks. [SPEAKER_03]: Should I give the best boy's graphic around?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's talk about it. [SPEAKER_01]: We want to talk about it on. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we want to talk about it on. [SPEAKER_03]: I haven't given the best boy's graphic around. [SPEAKER_03]: If you just jump back on screen, that'd be good. [SPEAKER_01]: Is the, we're not doing the, is the music going any more? [SPEAKER_01]: No music. [SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_01]: My bad. [SPEAKER_01]: I thought we had that music sound grabbed up. [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do we stop at six defenders? [SPEAKER_01]: Or do we want more? [UNKNOWN]: I think we want more. [SPEAKER_03]: I think we want more because of how Paul the midfield is. [SPEAKER_03]: This year, some of the names that you can obviously get in the defensive line that also have midfield status are pretty impressive. [SPEAKER_03]: And if we look at the eighth ranked midfielder currently, I'd hazard to guess that the sixth ranked defender is likely outscoring them.

[SPEAKER_01]: So let's figure this out. [SPEAKER_01]: So we've got Dawson at number one. [SPEAKER_01]: We've got Bratial at number two. [SPEAKER_01]: At number three, we have Jai Cordwell, which is a little bit of a surprise at a hundred and six. [SPEAKER_01]: Number four, we've got Nick Dakeoss, one-o-three. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, we're already down there. [SPEAKER_01]: One-o-three, Nick Dakeoss. [SPEAKER_01]: Number four. [SPEAKER_01]: That is one.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think you'll find it drops off sharply as sort of, and we've got a bunch of one-o-two's around here. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, McClark Edge, Dunkley, Libba, no Anderson's there. [SPEAKER_01]: One-o-one, George Hewitt, one-o-two. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it really starts to fall. [SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of players in that, a hundred, a hundred and two range.

[SPEAKER_01]: In the defense, [SPEAKER_01]: The player's averaging more than a hundred and four, Conor Rosie, Niziouany Miller, Harry Sheezle, Dane Zorko, Lockyash, Lockyash, and you pretty much count with Phil. [SPEAKER_01]: You count with Phil because obviously his engine score is dragging that down. [SPEAKER_01]: Nick Martin, if you want to include him, so there's already six defenders, better than midfielders. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, one through four.

[SPEAKER_01]: One through four is one over four. [SPEAKER_01]: So they're comparable to the, to the, to the, yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, outside of that. [SPEAKER_03]: So five through eight. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: But then the other defenders are the same. [SPEAKER_01]: So you've even got players like Sinclair who's averaging a hundred point six. [SPEAKER_01]: That's the same as some of the top eight meds.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Max Homes averaging a hundred. [SPEAKER_01]: Josh Day costs ninety five this season, but more recently he's been going much better. [SPEAKER_01]: So it is last five. [SPEAKER_01]: He's averaging a hundred and two point four. [SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of these guys are matching it with them. [SPEAKER_01]: So I think just being aware of just getting rid of that lens of we need the top eight mids.

[SPEAKER_01]: We want the best fourteen players across the defense and mids because that's where most of scoring is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the only thing I'll say on that is we need to be flexible in terms of watching and I'm sorry, I meant flexible in terms of not being pigeonholed into that strategy now and looking at runs matchups, you know, these kind of things as well because there are some midfielders that will come into to good runs and [SPEAKER_03]: I know your nemesis, luxury season is coming up soon. [SPEAKER_01]: Luxury season is looking a lot easier with a shit team.

[SPEAKER_03]: Trying to pick players that are coming into positive runs can make a break. [SPEAKER_03]: We've seen that this season. [SPEAKER_03]: I reckon there's players that have been going poorly and then suddenly hang on. [SPEAKER_03]: They've turned around. [SPEAKER_03]: What's the difference? [SPEAKER_03]: Playing against fucking Richmond. [SPEAKER_03]: They're playing against midfielder against Gold Coast. [SPEAKER_01]: There's some real easy beats out there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it seemed to keep in mind even if we start bringing in defendants. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I think I think something that I would always do is keep track of the best eight best six. [SPEAKER_01]: I think keeping track of like those two positions defense and mid. [SPEAKER_01]: Who's the top four thing? [SPEAKER_01]: Like start to look at that. [SPEAKER_01]: The top fifteen top fourteen averaging players who do our project to be in that.

[SPEAKER_01]: DPP will become important. [SPEAKER_01]: So [SPEAKER_01]: as shitty as he's been as a pick like someone like an Angus hasty might actually be a nice link between my defense and midfield at times this year someone like that is at the taru defender forward he might provide taro cards he might provide some good flexibility so just an interesting thing to keep an eye on as the season progresses what about rocks talk to you about rocks who because Tristan Sherry

[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a little disappointing since we treated him in. [SPEAKER_03]: It's been a lot disappointing to be fair cotton literally game plan for this guy. [SPEAKER_03]: So they put in a pit net and obviously have to coin as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's almost like it's almost like they spent so much [SPEAKER_03]: kind of brain power stopping just to show they've got to stop all the midfielders and north just cut them to pieces so it didn't work from a game perspective and it also didn't work from a fancy perspective because we cop to stinky stinky score yeah so he goes on an okay run so he's got [SPEAKER_01]: Who's he got, Hawthorne this week was decent.

[SPEAKER_01]: Then he's got Tim English, which is easy, but not as easy as it was last year. [SPEAKER_01]: Max in round eight teams, the hard match up. [SPEAKER_01]: Rundee, then he comes into a really nice round to close out the season in Jolong, St. [SPEAKER_01]: Kilda, GWS, Richmond, and a hard one in the last round against Adelaide.

[SPEAKER_03]: is he still the expected number one or two rockman for the year or some other hands come up with the English I think it's hard to go against Max even though he's coming into a tough front I still think that you have to have him at R one I'll go I'll go Max English Sherry Marshall [SPEAKER_01]: So the other news was Marshall was talking about battling some injuries as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I've popped him down the bottom there, and I think still scored a one-o-five against calling wood. [SPEAKER_01]: Who are not that easy matchup? [SPEAKER_01]: Still played eighty percent a seven percent talk. [SPEAKER_01]: I'd loved for someone to tell me how he looked as I missed this game to the eye and how he was running. [SPEAKER_03]: Tall, I think, and on two legs. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, fair.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can't shake the feeling that I think he could be the number one averaging rockman for the rest of the season. [SPEAKER_01]: If he's healthy, if he's good. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he is the tools to be the top guy. [SPEAKER_03]: He's got the resume. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk forwards because he's stanky. [SPEAKER_03]: It's going on. [SPEAKER_03]: Bailey Smith. [SPEAKER_03]: Top of the tree. [SPEAKER_01]: Top of the tree, but didn't turn up for the first time in a long time.

[SPEAKER_01]: Had the tough match up. [SPEAKER_01]: Brisbane are tough. [SPEAKER_01]: And look, a lot of the times we can get [SPEAKER_01]: really comfortable with the players just going along and doing their thing to rain so I was that a couple years ago you massive first half the year captains were irrelevant could we see something like this from bad smith [SPEAKER_03]: No chance, and to be fair, it doesn't even matter because he's playing on a line where he's gonna shit it in.

[SPEAKER_03]: So don't even think about it. [SPEAKER_03]: We're not even given it any yet. [SPEAKER_03]: He still has Richmond twice. [SPEAKER_03]: It's too easy. [SPEAKER_03]: So based me. [SPEAKER_03]: He hasn't versed Richmond yet, but yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Just fathering that for a quick second. [SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy. [SPEAKER_03]: He's only one, twenty one. [SPEAKER_03]: So based me with Nick Martin, Matt Kennedy. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Matt Kennedy, he's just a gun.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm interested to see what Frio do, but I think Luke Jackson immediately puts himself in the conversation if if they choose to play in a soul rock. [SPEAKER_01]: How confident are we even that's going to be what they do? [SPEAKER_03]: What? [SPEAKER_03]: What do you get out of? [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, what do you get out of Sean does he versus Luke Jackson in the rock?

[SPEAKER_03]: You get if maybe a few more hitouts, you get a slightly bigger body, but is what you get from Luke Jackson. [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: And this, and I mean, the weekend, I know he played against, you know, essentially no one. [SPEAKER_01]: What's yes, free. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, free. [SPEAKER_01]: I've been on a little bit of a run recently. [SPEAKER_01]: Have a day. [SPEAKER_01]: My right and saying that they've been winning winning games.

[SPEAKER_03]: The other name that I want to throw to you while you check your your free. [SPEAKER_03]: I run is Jack McCray. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I think Jack McCray is still going to be a top six forward. [SPEAKER_01]: I know that it's a free of one that lasts five in a row. [SPEAKER_01]: They're not sure whether they're not changing that like I think Sean does is popped in for what half a game There you go.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's it So I don't know it's a tough one because the minute Darcy comes back in and straight away with question in Jackson The only thing that could that could save me is Darcy comes back in place very low-tog and Jackson plays midfield when Darcy's in the rock then I'm still like okay. [SPEAKER_01]: There's still out there isn't there. [SPEAKER_03]: I think there is there only the only thing that [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, man. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: All the evidence to me was if I was the coach of free mental. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: He'd play. [SPEAKER_01]: He'd play the two's. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a car throat. [SPEAKER_03]: Could we cut through it? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like they're just better without him there. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, let's let's add him in there. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: So we've got four.

[SPEAKER_03]: We've got Smith, Martin, Kennedy, Jackson. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: We try a patraca or would you throw him a crayabone? [SPEAKER_03]: Whole Francis for me and Chad Warner, they've dropped out of contention. [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's Petraca and then maybe McCray. [SPEAKER_01]: And then the Bolta is. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, Bolta. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, different. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, he versus Richmond on the weekend. [SPEAKER_01]: That's Sam Darcy.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Can he keep this up? [SPEAKER_01]: He's averaging eighty nine for the season. [SPEAKER_01]: That includes his eight. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to quickly go ahead and try and find his average if you remove that eight. [SPEAKER_01]: But he is not typically the type of player that we see. [SPEAKER_01]: being a top six forward. [SPEAKER_01]: But is he built different look? [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he clearly uses built different literally built different.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm coming into Sydney and North Melbourne who haven't necessarily been killing it. [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, and the thing is, I mean, he kicks goals, but he almost doesn't need to. [SPEAKER_03]: He gets hard the ground to even get involved at ground level. [SPEAKER_03]: So [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think if you've traded him in in the last two weeks, you're not moving him because there's still uncertainty around guys like on Francis, Chad Warner.

[SPEAKER_03]: So he's going to score in line with them at the very least. [SPEAKER_01]: So I think he's averaging a hundred point four on the season. [SPEAKER_01]: If you move that eight, that's in line with the top eight meds that we've just told you. [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty nuts. [SPEAKER_03]: It is pretty nuts in fact. [SPEAKER_03]: So maybe [SPEAKER_03]: wait and see on him and, uh, grindmines maybe to seven through eight there.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if you had a gun to my head, I would still put him outside the top six and I'd back McCray and put track it out averaging for the season, but maybe in this short term. [SPEAKER_01]: He could be a very, very nice, like F-seven. [SPEAKER_01]: You loop him on in a nice matchup. [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes massive. [SPEAKER_01]: You roll him in. [SPEAKER_01]: You put the red dot on.

[SPEAKER_01]: If he goes poorly, you get the other guy and because he could have some massive scores. [SPEAKER_01]: Crystal have some floor games as we've seen from key position players. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean really he yeah, he could easily be there like that average hundred. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's killing him. [SPEAKER_03]: You ready to get choppin' mate? [SPEAKER_01]: Must chop some players [SPEAKER_01]: Not a best, but not bad. [SPEAKER_01]: Who are we chopping, Mitch?

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, chop plays on their buy. [SPEAKER_01]: Because the last buy round. [SPEAKER_01]: So there's no other players to chop other than round, sixteen players. [SPEAKER_01]: There's no future buy that you're sort of preparing for. [SPEAKER_01]: There's no other buy round where you're really heavy on. [SPEAKER_01]: This is it. [SPEAKER_01]: This is the last buy round.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you really shouldn't be training anyone who unless they're maybe a super underperforming rookie and they're dropped or something like that. [SPEAKER_01]: You're getting out guys who are on their bikes. [SPEAKER_01]: So Angus Clarke, Nicholas Madden, needs to go. [SPEAKER_01]: You're despite his good score. [SPEAKER_01]: I think Kyle Loman has done his job. [SPEAKER_01]: He can go as well. [SPEAKER_01]: What about Zach Johnson?

[SPEAKER_01]: I also mentioned before that I'm trading him out. [SPEAKER_01]: Is that two reactionary? [SPEAKER_01]: He scored a hundred just two weeks ago. [SPEAKER_01]: He does come into a nice run goal coach Richmond. [SPEAKER_01]: Break even is still nine. [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's just enough to just bump him down the priority list a little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: So, for example, I've got Clark and Loman there, and I'm, you're holding much more likely to trade them than I agree.

[SPEAKER_01]: I agree. [SPEAKER_01]: I still think he can go. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: If it is the difference when you're getting twenty-two on field or not, or maybe he's more expensive than like a box or maybe if you've got him still sitting there or something about sort of type. [SPEAKER_01]: So, can go, doesn't have to. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk some premiums. [SPEAKER_01]: Zack Merritt. [SPEAKER_01]: Has he punched his ticket out of our sides?

[SPEAKER_01]: He's on his buy coming off a fifty break even one thirty plus. [SPEAKER_01]: We know he has that nice run afterwards, Gold Coast and Richmond, but is the fact that he's just sitting on your bench for a week and he's going to go down in more cash enough for you to just trade him out to another gun. [SPEAKER_03]: He might not go down any more cash. [SPEAKER_03]: The [SPEAKER_03]: The tag obviously on the weekend is not great, but I still don't like fifty percent CBAs.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like it either. [SPEAKER_03]: Sacramento to me is like eighty percent CBA guy. [SPEAKER_03]: You've got one of the best midfielders in the competition and you've got will set of field taking all the CBAs. [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and but the thing is to me either. [SPEAKER_01]: You're not winning, but those guys in there called well set of field parish. [SPEAKER_01]: Like Durham's not even playing, but no, he's not even there. [SPEAKER_01]: Durham's gonna come back into the side.

[SPEAKER_01]: Those guys don't do anything else. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is a trouble. [SPEAKER_03]: So it's guilty of being somewhat first saw. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm obviously not seeing this one really well because I've been saying for weeks now that they're going to realize the error their ways, but maybe Brad Scott's being being stubborn. [SPEAKER_01]: I think you can trade him out. [SPEAKER_01]: I think and maybe this is obvious to some people.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he put up a fifties on his body trading. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm usually wanting to hold some of these goals. [SPEAKER_01]: I think at this point of the season, we can't be patient. [SPEAKER_01]: We've got to see what is happening. [SPEAKER_01]: And I think until we see maybe a mix up in this midfield, [SPEAKER_01]: I'd want to get him out and hopefully get him to someone like a Jordan Dawson or someone who you know is going to be sort of right at the top there.

[SPEAKER_01]: Get that extra game play from a premium mid. [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, enjoy that. [SPEAKER_03]: I think the move has merit, but just know that I'm going to be trading him a right in baby coming up. [SPEAKER_01]: He'll be a target. [SPEAKER_01]: He'll be a target at some point this season. [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's going to be too scared and I'm going to say boom boom. [SPEAKER_03]: Stay room. [SPEAKER_03]: Boom, boom, Jay. [SPEAKER_03]: Boom, boom.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to be in there like swimwear for Gold Coast region matchup. [SPEAKER_01]: Now, will Ashcroff is a guy that I think a lot of people would have penciled in as a trade-out at this round. [SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of that premium. [SPEAKER_01]: That's not quite top eight. [SPEAKER_01]: He's good enough, but he's just kind of sat there. [SPEAKER_01]: He did just put up a one, twenty I want to say on the weekend. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, one oh wait.

[SPEAKER_01]: a sixty one before that by one thirteen one or two. [SPEAKER_01]: He's averaging ninety three on the season. [SPEAKER_01]: Is it a case of. [SPEAKER_01]: He's done his job you can trade him out now or is he someone you could afford to hold. [SPEAKER_03]: I think I mean I can sort of in the sense of my team here and if I had him I would probably be holding this worst things in my team but I can imagine team's out there that would be very.

[SPEAKER_03]: very good looking and potentially looking at twenty two brim is already so if he was one of those ones that you considered just under it might be a great play to send him to a genuine premium that doesn't have the buy [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I'd be happy to trade. [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I'd probably trade him ahead of Merritt personally. [SPEAKER_01]: His CBAs are worse, so he's been all season by one game when Neil got tagged, below sixty percent CBAs.

[SPEAKER_01]: He buys for a better team and obviously that has a big impact on scoring, but the Merritt's run and just potential for him to be up the top there is enough for him to hold, but [SPEAKER_01]: Again, like you said, if you're in a situation where you still have rookies to upgrade and moving him delays or prevents that from happening, then I think it's fine to hold. [SPEAKER_01]: Like him being your size, not the end of the world come around seventeen.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, Merritt obviously you mentioned the good run and then Ashcroft is welcomed by put out of late straight off the buy. [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, a little bit less good. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: So any other round, sixteen premiums that you you think we should be looking at trading out. [SPEAKER_01]: Like are we trading lucky with field? [SPEAKER_01]: He's an interesting talking point because he offers a huge cast, but he's not actually going to miss any games.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Which is so good. [SPEAKER_03]: He's big cast that would go. [SPEAKER_01]: So he's not going to miss any games because he's going to go on that ten-day protocol. [SPEAKER_01]: They've got a twelve-day break. [SPEAKER_01]: So he should be right to play unless the symptoms linger. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: That's a risk. [SPEAKER_01]: It's there.

[SPEAKER_01]: And especially someone with Whitfield, I think he's had some maybe concussions in the past. [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe. [SPEAKER_01]: But I was eyeing him off as a target coming off his bow around. [SPEAKER_01]: And the concussion is hopefully not something we expect to linger. [SPEAKER_01]: And before that, I mean, he was a number three captain for me. [SPEAKER_01]: So obviously, I had confidence, he comes into West Coast, Jellong, Essenden, a three game stretch there.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a pretty nice run. [SPEAKER_01]: His break even is super high though. [SPEAKER_01]: The run is like one fifty. [SPEAKER_01]: The run for the rest of the season is not bad. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, still has North, Gold Coast, Kilda, Western Bulldogs. [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing is maybe a Sydney matchup where he might get a Jordan tag. [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, maybe not. [SPEAKER_03]: Into the Spider web. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, lucky with it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think I would hold. [SPEAKER_03]: I think, yeah, I think I would hold out of all three of those previews. [SPEAKER_03]: It's talked about the break even there, one fifty when he comes back. [SPEAKER_03]: I get it, but if you have him lucky with field, you're not planning on trading, so the, the, the, the pride of the cash in that instance doesn't really matter so much because you're not caching out at any point.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of those top fifteen players I think so he's definitely someone I would hold and he was doing that until until his injury just sucks that it happened now and he's got some few questions but I'd be very keen to hold him and hopefully he could pay is he with a big one against West Coast. [SPEAKER_01]: He's done that before. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he put up a one-nine of an injured score maybe several years ago but yeah he can go massive on any given week.

[SPEAKER_03]: We've chopped it's time to bring some people into our teams. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk to Fenders first. [SPEAKER_03]: Who do you like the look of? [SPEAKER_01]: Defense is tough because a lot of the guys are expensive. [SPEAKER_01]: We haven't had the value guys except for maybe some new guys come through. [SPEAKER_01]: But Josh Day course is a potential top six or top fifteen player that comes at a little bit of a discount. [SPEAKER_01]: So I like him.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's doing better recently. [SPEAKER_01]: And we always said that he could be a better half back than a mid than a wing player coming into West Coast. [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a nice little match up start him off. [SPEAKER_01]: The wing. [SPEAKER_01]: He's expensive. [SPEAKER_01]: But I think you have to have him. [SPEAKER_01]: He scores no matter the game situation is the thing that I like about him, whether they get thumbed, whether they're competitive.

[SPEAKER_01]: He is someone that's just ultra consistent and seems to have just taken his ceiling to another level this year. [SPEAKER_03]: Why wouldn't you get the ball in this guy's hands? [SPEAKER_03]: I haven't watched on the weekend, but [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to say he's the best kick in the AFL. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Counting me here. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this does was suggest that because he probably takes off some really difficult.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking at the I test. [SPEAKER_03]: This guy just turns and it's penetrating. [SPEAKER_01]: Yep. [SPEAKER_01]: We love penetrating way. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: That was good. [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't really mean that. [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of like fell into it. [SPEAKER_01]: Get it inside. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: He does. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: He looks pretty. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's try the corridor.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: He, yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: You got anything else? [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's about how to look at it. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get it. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's something. [SPEAKER_02]: Long and direct. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's probably something there. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to think of something with the curve, but... Yeah, just... No, no, okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is a little bit... It's time for a beat. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a curvature.

[SPEAKER_01]: But no, he's just too good, I think, and I think a lot of us do have him now, but yeah, if you don't, I'd make him a priority as sort of like, he's that upper echelon premium that I think a lot of us will need. [SPEAKER_01]: Some cheaper guys, calum mills, we've been still humming an hour and he keeps getting it done. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, is it now we've got three games really now for him being back scoring well, is it enough now for you to go okay, I'm confident enough.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's still under eight hundred thousand. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I can we just bring him in. [SPEAKER_03]: I still don't now he's playing half back and so it sounds weird for me to say I don't love the role, but it's just that [SPEAKER_03]: he's playing half back where in a team where like Nick Blakey is that. [SPEAKER_03]: He was pushing Blakey out of significance only a few. [SPEAKER_03]: He had three Blakey at seven, so I'm like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: But the other thing too to keep in mind here with with Kalam Mills is that he scored forty points in the first quarter and then sort of only fifty odd thereafter. [SPEAKER_01]: I know you'll be in that, but I don't care as much about those sort of [SPEAKER_01]: So unless there's something like real obvious like he got a fifty-meter penalty twice or something that he's cheated. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: So I want to talk about him in the culture as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: Would you prefer? [SPEAKER_03]: Think you're paying a pretty similar price. [SPEAKER_03]: Am I right there? [SPEAKER_03]: Because it's still cheaper. [SPEAKER_03]: He's still cheaper and McCurcher. [SPEAKER_03]: Seven, twelve. [SPEAKER_03]: McCurcher is that guy down there if it's if we're talking who's better. [SPEAKER_01]: I still prefer McCurcher and he's still cheap. [SPEAKER_01]: He literally is still worth the points. [SPEAKER_01]: So I would take off both of these players.

[SPEAKER_01]: I still would go and McCurcher over Mills, but either play out. [SPEAKER_01]: I think you can justify having a new side. [SPEAKER_01]: Even if that does push a defending team midfielder, I'd feel absolutely fine doing that. [SPEAKER_01]: Like we said, it's not that big of a deal this season. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if you come out of the bars and you've got [SPEAKER_03]: one of those two guys at DC, so I don't think that's the worst thing in the world.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think that's absolutely. [SPEAKER_03]: Some teams that that would be the worst thing in the world, but first teams like ours, I'd probably be pretty happy with that. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I think I'd be either shopping at the top or the bottom there. [SPEAKER_01]: So weighing as like you top guy, Josh Daygosses that cheaper premium and mills and mercurtures, well, other cheaper guys as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of the other players, you know, sort of seasonal, [SPEAKER_01]: You're kind of rosy. [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a tough matchup this week. [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have him, you've also got like a sing clear little bit uncertainty there. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of guys I just put a pass on. [SPEAKER_01]: Giant spoilers obviously on there by as well as home. [SPEAKER_01]: So those are sort of your targets. [SPEAKER_01]: The midfield.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think the number one target has to be Jordan Dawson. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: He's the only midfield averaging a hundred and ten and he comes into a Richmond matchup. [SPEAKER_01]: I really shouldn't have to say much more than that. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's the number one averaging midfielder for the game for the rest of the season. [SPEAKER_01]: And you're going to get the easiest matchup for the rest of the season.

[SPEAKER_01]: So if you can get Jordan Dawson and you don't have him, I would pay up for that one point zero eight for million dollars. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he will outperform that this week. [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have what I consider to be the safest midfielder in the game for the rest of the year. [SPEAKER_03]: How impressed have you been with Zack Biotters for the last two weeks? [SPEAKER_03]: You've been an owner.

[SPEAKER_03]: It looked like it was going to be really big early in this game. [SPEAKER_03]: And it kind of peded out to a one-o-seven. [SPEAKER_01]: You've, he plays for a second. [SPEAKER_01]: To meet a Peter. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, not bad. [SPEAKER_03]: I'll pay. [SPEAKER_03]: You're endorsing trading Zax Brothers in? [SPEAKER_01]: I am. [SPEAKER_01]: I, look, I saw these games as potential danger games. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna trade him in anyway.

[SPEAKER_01]: But he's gone through his tough stretch. [SPEAKER_01]: He's gone through the giants, one-o-four, bed for tag. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Got him through the Melbourne could be anything kind of tag, ninety-seven. [SPEAKER_01]: Sydney, James Jordan, one-o-seven. [SPEAKER_01]: his open his run opens up now. [SPEAKER_01]: Colton's a great matchup of assuming you've always ditching quite a tag, but they go and tag and you'll tell you what they're going to do.

[SPEAKER_01]: But then Brisbane, tough but no tag, West Coast, Hawthorne, Adelaide, Jelong. [SPEAKER_01]: There's no sort of attention coming his way, I think, after maybe this Colton game. [SPEAKER_01]: So for me at nine hundred and twenty seven K, he just screams value. [SPEAKER_01]: He could be ten to fifteen points, unders. [SPEAKER_03]: That's it's quite cheap isn't it so Yeah, his break. [SPEAKER_01]: He was now settled down to eighty six.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think this is his bottom in price Yeah, if you're all about getting the bottom He's at the oxongs at the minute Yeah, every day's there or not. [SPEAKER_01]: I think you can be a top eight mid for the rest of the year and I think if you're getting him at just a bar of nine. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: That's a great great. [SPEAKER_01]: Bye [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I've got a couple of names. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you've got a couple of names here.

[SPEAKER_01]: We'll ask me to put these names down. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Noah Anderson and Caleb Sorong. [SPEAKER_01]: And these are my guys, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Because these are my uniques that did me well on the other weeks on. [SPEAKER_01]: Bit nervous to recommend to others and spoil my little secret here. [SPEAKER_01]: But what do we think about these players as guys to go on for the rest of the season?

[SPEAKER_01]: I personally feel way more confident in Noah Anderson than I do in Caleb Sorong. [SPEAKER_01]: What's that you? [SPEAKER_03]: I think so wrong has more upside than Anderson. [SPEAKER_03]: We've seen it in the last couple of weeks. [SPEAKER_03]: There's a ceiling there when it all clicks for him. [SPEAKER_03]: Has anything changed? [SPEAKER_03]: Has anything changed?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, he just thrives in good matchups and when the team's playing well and [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a gun player. [SPEAKER_01]: No, Anderson. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a brown load type. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sorry. [SPEAKER_01]: I was too bad. [SPEAKER_03]: I was too bad. [SPEAKER_01]: I was too bad. [SPEAKER_01]: So wrong. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's changed. [SPEAKER_01]: I have absolutely no idea what's changed. [SPEAKER_03]: He's just, okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you mentioned that three are on a five game winning run. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, are they? [SPEAKER_03]: So in those games, one or eight, ninety seven, one eleven, one forty six, one thirty seven hundred twenty is last five. [SPEAKER_03]: So, is it as simple as free or up on a behalf, baby? [SPEAKER_03]: Let's go. [SPEAKER_01]: He's been killing it. [SPEAKER_01]: So, thirty-five touches, thirty-six touches in his last two.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go on a limb and say he gets some attention against St. [SPEAKER_01]: Kilda from Windhaker. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, he could. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know whether you're talking. [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of cheap anymore. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, one point zero, four million. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's because of those last five games. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you're just trying to protect your pick. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, look, if you want to go home, go for it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Something about it just still makes me nervous watching him in terms of just what I saw in the first half of the year, and then just the sudden turnaround. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, think about he's going to a hundred and twenty years last five. [SPEAKER_01]: He's still averaging nine and nine point nine. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's how bad he was before then. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: I would personally go no-annis and fifty-k less than a Caleb Soron.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, Anderson's averaging an extra point more on average the season. [SPEAKER_01]: He's fifty K cheaper. [SPEAKER_01]: He's going into maybe the next three or four match up. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think no Anderson really gets a hard tag for the next six rounds. [SPEAKER_01]: Melbourne, Essenden, Collingwood, Adelaide, Brisbane, Richmond. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think any of those things really do hard tag. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a good point. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a good point.

[SPEAKER_01]: How many games does he have at home in that stretch? [SPEAKER_01]: He's got one, two, three, four. [SPEAKER_01]: Four of those next six games at the Gold Coast, which a lot of people have made the connection that he plays well there. [SPEAKER_01]: So I like no Anderson personally. [SPEAKER_01]: You're just offering for someone else. [SPEAKER_03]: My prediction about Sam Dockety being in the garden this week is not the case. [SPEAKER_03]: Would you entertain a Sam Dockety?

[SPEAKER_03]: Eight, forty, eight, seventy, four k, break even of fifty, eight. [SPEAKER_01]: Going to pour and then calling would Brisbane. [SPEAKER_01]: That's tough. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Mr. boat. [SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather pay up an extra fifty k for bottles. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if you've missed it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a good point. [SPEAKER_03]: You've missed it. [SPEAKER_03]: Good scores. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: You missed the good scores.

[SPEAKER_01]: And like, there's just that little doubt over either A, he's dropped or B, they just Carlton are going to be throwing magnets around. [SPEAKER_01]: Like you could see the raw changes. [SPEAKER_01]: You could see different things happening. [SPEAKER_01]: Game style shifts because things aren't working there. [SPEAKER_01]: Coming down at the end of the stretch of the season, he might. [SPEAKER_01]: I think things could change pretty quickly there for Doc.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: The wrap things up. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's go to the Ford line. [SPEAKER_03]: Who tried and in? [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, well, we talked about some of the top six skies. [SPEAKER_01]: So Luke Jackson, if we, if we think he's legit, is he the number one? [SPEAKER_01]: If you missed him last, we obviously missed a massive score. [SPEAKER_01]: He's still under a million dollars against St. [SPEAKER_01]: Kilda this week, Sydney, Hawthorne.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's got a decent run when it comes to rocks. [SPEAKER_01]: If there's not really a tough rock matchup, maybe outside of Carlton, calling with tough ish, Brisbane, a tough ish, [SPEAKER_01]: No big like those red matchups like Gold Coast or North, which I honestly played in the last several games and still scored well. [SPEAKER_01]: Are we saying he's the number one trade target break even of sixty eight?

[SPEAKER_03]: I think if he is in that role, I'm really interested to see what comes out of, uh, freo this week. [SPEAKER_03]: What? [SPEAKER_03]: So does he miss them? [SPEAKER_03]: I wrote on the weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: There's like more of a precaution there. [SPEAKER_03]: So what does it manage, man? [SPEAKER_03]: Because managed for a week. [SPEAKER_01]: This guy sucks and we don't want him. [SPEAKER_03]: It kind of, I think, insinuates that he's back this week.

[SPEAKER_03]: But if we start to hear, I mean, so much can change when you watch the game and go, oh, [SPEAKER_03]: No, I agree, and that's why I want to hear what comes out of for you this week.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do we get an interview with coaching staff that sort of says, well, we really like the look that Jackson gives us this is our number one rockman does gonna have to go back and earn a game like I'm very interested if he's not not named and there's some word out of free oath then I reckon Jackson fuck me. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean he could be he could be the guy. [SPEAKER_01]: It really was a good trade last week. [SPEAKER_01]: I've less confidence in this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: He went up fifty three K. So he's not cheap. [SPEAKER_01]: Really anymore. [SPEAKER_01]: So I just I don't know if I'd be shopping in the Ford line. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it depends on where your last premium is. [SPEAKER_01]: So if you need the last premium in the Ford line, I think he's probably the number one pick or would you prefer to save a hundred and fifty K and go to sound Darcy?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess that hundred fifty-k makes a difference in a life that make a difference next week as well. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's some cheap options. [SPEAKER_01]: I think that'll almost go there. [SPEAKER_01]: Save a hundred and fifty. [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe not. [SPEAKER_03]: The trouble is like Luke Jackson, depending on the whims of the free approaching staff, Luke Jackson is one selection away from being a six-digy guy. [SPEAKER_03]: if they decide that they want to go to us.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's going to support. [SPEAKER_01]: It feels different. [SPEAKER_01]: It feels different this year. [SPEAKER_03]: It feels different because he was able to play that midfield role when Darcy was in the rock. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: When Darcy has played, it's obviously been a low game time as well. [SPEAKER_01]: And I just feel like we're finally seeing it reflect the results on the field in terms of Freo's wins and losses.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like in the past that hasn't changed their results as much. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's seeing his prices too. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: And we're right in saying one of them's a free agent soon. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I had a contract soon. [SPEAKER_01]: You're the him or short. [SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember.

[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, I think I think if I if I had the choice and I had the money, I'd probably go Jackson, but Sam Darcy's a great second choice. [SPEAKER_01]: I just worry that maybe it was a matchup thing. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean Sydney North is still decent in terms of matchups for keyfords. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a look at that quick little run here. [SPEAKER_01]: I'll do it for Australia for keyfords. [SPEAKER_01]: The Western Bulldogs. [SPEAKER_01]: So Sydney's a neutral matchup.

[SPEAKER_01]: North is a bright green. [SPEAKER_01]: Adelaide is a bright red. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Adelaide's the only red matchup that they've got for the rest of the year. [SPEAKER_01]: You do a Brisbane and Melbourne as sort of orange matchups, but in there you also have a West Coast, Essenden, North Sydney. [SPEAKER_01]: These teams are all pretty easy. [SPEAKER_01]: I would have thought. [SPEAKER_01]: It just does go against the rules I normally like to follow.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you wanted to go between those two guys, Darcy and Jackson, could you go McCray outside of Hawthorne in the next little bit? [SPEAKER_03]: Good run. [SPEAKER_03]: Let me read some times to hear. [SPEAKER_03]: So go to Frio, Hawthorne, Sydney, Jolong, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Richmond, Ascendon. [SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty good. [SPEAKER_03]: And then his last game of the year is GWS. [SPEAKER_03]: See you.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you could, I mean, a hundred and four and seventy-one percent talk. [SPEAKER_03]: I said, this is, well, last week, McCray, because of McCray's obnoxious ceiling, you can afford a few kind of nines in there as well, because even to start forward line, it's like whatever. [SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, sort of looking at some of these numbers to start the year, he's got one, fifty-three and a one, thirty-nine and his first kind of ten games.

[SPEAKER_03]: And while there's some stinky scores there, they don't look so stinky because of those pictures. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, he's averaging ninety-eight for the season. [SPEAKER_01]: Um, it'll wash out in the end. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I think he, the track is there. [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have him, I think I'd prefer Petraca personally. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Gold Coast seems like a good match up for him, which seems like he's got a higher floor.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, in my eyes, but Petraca hasn't tumbled up in his, or he's tundered once in his last six. [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of the same as McRae, though. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's just me favoring the better footballer in my eyes. [SPEAKER_01]: And I think there's some logic to that because he's not going to change his role as much like or is standing in the team. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think McRae's role is changing at all.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's only one role he plays and there's no way to replace him is there. [SPEAKER_01]: Fair enough. [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're both fairly similar. [SPEAKER_01]: But I think he probably would be choosing between the two big guys there in Yam Jackson or Darcy. [SPEAKER_01]: And personally, I think there's probably better options, maybe in the midfield. [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's a lot of nice midfield options this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: So of course, if you last non premium position is the forward line, then you probably have to go there. [SPEAKER_01]: But if you have the choice, I think I'd be shopping in the midfield this week. [SPEAKER_01]: But still a bit to think about. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of orders are going to the bridge as they say Luke. [SPEAKER_01]: So that will do it for us today, guys. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you very much for tuning in. [SPEAKER_01]: Apologies for no review podcast last week.
