Refreshed from the weekend but I’m pissed off at this time we starting boys I have to start I’m a bit disappointed at that the 5 p.m. start not a fan no I’m not because I think we bow down to the AFL a little bit too much every now

And again I’m looking at you Michael we might be able to Workshop the start time we’ve got a work there a lot now just remember we are on a podcast here we’ got to give context to what we’re talking about mix back at AFL land we

Know that BR is doing his thing he’s got family time he’s got we got pumer and kangaroos t-shirt on I think that’s what he’s trying to show you um but you’re at AFL land BR you’re taking over the management game you’re still doing the trails all those

Bits and pieces still doing the trails and a great weekend boys we’ll talk about and I’ve been busy as ever yeah now a couple of things in the offseason that have been funny cuz we’ve got the group chat yeah yeah and speaking of the time 5:00 P p.m. start yeah you you

Weren’t happy about but you’re obviously you’re a good team uh teamman Team person team person he he’s the only play with kids Brett yeah have you notice that yeah I got three of them he’s got three we’ve got kids we have kids too we got kid he’s his family time though he

Loves his family time so we do apologize we’ll get home before bath time next time yeah yeah oh okay we’ll see yeah hang on he’s disappointed about the start time today because he’s got AFL NS he’s gotl n tonight FR talk us for AFL n people recognize you when you play them

Gu of course say Michael Michael that is a stupid m i I’ll tell you one place didn’t get recognized I went to Taylor Swift last night didn’t have tickets but stood on the outside oh Taylor not one person can you imagine this bro one of the best

Players that’s ever played at the MCG wasn’t inside the MCG last night he’s on the outside for Taylor Swift I heard I haven’t seen his photo right but there’s a a photo of um I heard this today Nick deos took a selfie or something of him

At Taylor Swift and in the back ground um Tom Hawkins is double parked with like a couple of Cs now I think that’s fact if it’s not we can cut it but anyway it’s verbatim if it’s on this show it’s verbatim yeah it’s one of my favorite words this year

Verbatim okay um brel yeah mate are you well I’m I’m at I’m teric now before we get into the some footy which we always love our footy chat don’t we Mick we do and you’re you’re actually in the in the uh thick of it as say you’re back in

Industry it’s actually pretty incredible we’ve got someone that’s in the industry not muzzled hope no we will find that out from the I actually had to chat to the uh Stacy at um St the Stacy Oaks from North Melbourne formerly jalong absolute you know gun at what she does she’s one of

The best in the I’d say the best near industry um Allison zel obviously up there as well from the Giants um and I did ask her about you know you coming on the show because you’re you’re there and you said no way she said I’d get back to

You she hasn’t got back to me yet so I’m I’m assuming that the first episode this one’s okay um but you know it was quite funny he passed me on to Stacy who’s head of what she head of media yeah oh not head of media but the media

Department she will be she will be very soon um and uh he thinks he’s [ __ ] clco this PL like the way he’s going goes can you just speak to my media manager to go on the show I was like yeah anyway he’s here so um have you

Cuz we are on him hard um but he hasn’t stopped his other little side gigs you might did you turn on the KO you might on KO Sports on the weekend and seen the thirds playing down there gaty the best thing is Mick barow trying to budy announce the names of some fourth

Division players I’ll tell you what he he probably knew most of them cuz half of them were vfl players out there I’d never seen anything I saw a BL run around go that’s not braa it’s some ringing that had bloody tin on his back and and Melbourne so what they did for

The last three periods I only watched that by the way I saw that I was like what the [ __ ] going on here it was it was challenging to be honest the last 20 the last three periods um because Melbourne had played the Casey players and they given them the AFL numbers and

They actually hadn’t sent up like at least Richmond had sent up they had the few ’90s and 60s and 7s the players that are playing the vfl here’s what their names are numers um Melbourne we only had the the names you just G for um Shaw

Lang was back out there in the short SLE was back out there in the shorts yeah it was it was a it was a tough watch and a tough tough listen bit like this um anyway so you haven’t stopped any cashies which is great we have to let

Stacy I’m cing a bit of great for all that’s fine and we love the kangaroo so we uh we’ll talk next year I’m in a discussion at the moment with Clark Owen and Todd vony and um and the rest of the crew so that be good now speaking of extracurricular

Yeah North uh you’ve been doing a bit of David goggin sort of work 3:30 runs in the morning what’s good what’s why are you doing going um well to get the exercise in now it’s hard isn’t it you have to get up early yeah

So Riley likes to go to the gym as well so she goes at 530 so I’m up at 4:30 running um and then get home and R go to the gym but there’s a guy that lives around me that is a 3:30 a.m. Runner he

Runs at 3:30 a.m. and he does a idiot a straa log um every day can’t be good for you and I admire it I admire the the content he produces times he go to bed 4:30 in the afternoon but anyway he found me he found me on straa and

Figured out I was running similar routes and was getting up earlier and earlier and I’m a guy that can’t say no so he hit me up for a 3:30 run um so up up up I got first time met him so how was that

Did you have a good chat at 3:30 in the morning went for 12K did you brush your teeth before yeah yeah would have been hard to find each other at that time there wouldn’t be too many confusion of people p you you me yet yeah we had

Another one since or did one of those handshakes on the way as we started you know that like floppy handshake like get yeah I don’t like those I don’t like those at all bad start but good run got home had a cold shower back to bed wow good

Theive U where’s the stats in that like why why well what’s the benefit two things are challenge you mate when you’re I get that when you’re working with young men you need to set examples you got to get it in on the morning morning you got to get in the morning if

You don’t get it in I seem to think when I was back playing when we back all the system like PE the coaches all they do is just sit in the gym and do [ __ ] all so like wouldn’t you got heaps of time you got heaps of time yeah it’s true

That’s true we have a good crew there at North coaching who got who’s your best mate who you I wouldn’t single it all down say obious CL um if if if my fellow colleagues coaches are listening to listening they would um Su not’s not a coach remember uh Tom Lynch Adelaide

Chompers Outlets Chompers he got real big teeth yeah he smiles big smiling uh nothing wrong with smiling BR so he coached the vfl there um there Tommy and he’s uh he did you know when someone does something or or looks pretty much the same every day walks in work and I

CED a lot of grief last Friday I walked into work and I had a hat on and it was a corded hat it was a bit of a risk you know when you take a bit of a risk out of work and you wear something a bit different Brett pulls everything off he

Looks good CED hat I thought I think I look pretty good walk in and everyone just dished out [ __ ] all day cuz it had the um was it the kangaroo on they they they argued that I half looked like Mario or Luigi oh it was it was a bit

Bit of air in there was it wasn’t sort of fitting it’s cuz you’ve got the the new head of ha it’s so it’s so fluffy yeah say your hair looks fantastic yeah feeling good I’d love to get on that yeah I don’t know mate I’ve told you my

Story about MOS I tried to get it and they said you’re not losing your hair you just have a massive forehead it’s like the worst of Both Worlds so I wore the C hat cop [ __ ] all day I got called Mario yeah but then lynchy uh bless his

Cotton socks speaking of socks he walked in a day and he was wearing white socks with like a a gray shoe and it just looked horrible so the attention quickly shifted the boys just Target you do they yeah or is it coaches no more coaches we

Kind of go each other yeah right playing group is pretty cool it’s pretty funny like as a as a coach you know like when um you know like back you can’t do this but I remember thinking you like have a go to a coach and then the coach like you’re not

Playing you’re not playing this year mate you say mate no just just shut the [ __ ] up what about Jed mate how’s Jed Jed’s good Jed’s good what’s his nickname Jed adock could do a bit with the kn helps the community there clar is a um a nickname Giver yeah

So he’s trigger and don’t have a story for because we don’t really know why he’s trigger should ask him yeah might get to it what’s yours I haven’t got one yet okay Mario big big [ __ ] nickname guy isn’t he doesn’t have one big nickname guy that’s

For sure good picking um last but not least before we get into it I’ve been very intrigued to know this and I wanted to wait till we get on the Pod to ask but the mile what happened with that what was how was it giving the keys exced giving the

Keys about the m so for those who don’t know Mick used to drive a car that was it was just painted iners yellow and black you guys used to laugh at me behind my back just just a car that just had wabby tigers everywhere on it and and Pa

Prints up there where did that go what happened with it well it’s part of the contract a coach football club who is the next coach of where we Jimmy Allen his name is oh Jimmy yeah I remember he played at jalong he’s on jong’s list and

Then went over to Adeline so I caught up with him last week and put Nostalgia just say hey don’t put it straight into drive sometimes shimmy it a little bit the keys get a little bit clunky did you have to give him a couple of remember in stari and Hutch at the

End he gives the car over NE I wasn’t jumping on that [ __ ] with you mate sorry it was actually if if you’ve seen the movie it’s actually funny but you know at the end he gives him the car and he’s like yeah it’s all right but he go the keys you know you

Got you got to give it to Jimmy anyway um Jimmy Allen so it must to be a bit uh in all seriousness it’s a bit of a big job for him to take over big shoes to coaching he’ll do well congrats doing well already um all right let’s get into

It I thought we’d go through six teams 6 12 18 exra episodes before the season starts let’s fire through yeah North Melbourne thought we start off here having the head coaching no coming where are they going to finish mate um what excites you the most I know what

I’m let’s be positive about it well at the moment alphabetically on the letter North M 12th it’s pretty good yeah I well I actually I actually have here where do they finish I have 11th I reckon but I reckon it’s a good 11 I reckon they’ll they’ll show a lot this

Year I got lower than that n no I don’t and I’m going to be a member this year I’m going to sign up you’ve said that a lot and we’re waiting for the call I’m going to sign up a member last year I think I did I’ve actually signed up as a

Gold Coast member as well Nick Holman calls me every [ __ ] year oh and he always calls me and they I think they’re filming at the time that he calls so I can’t actually say no cuz they do the um they from they do the ring he’s from um

Kyri he is your down yeah yeah Mighty KY great man um so I’m signed up there giants Blues where anyway you’ve got them finishing 11th yeah 11th I love this I want to know the teams that are underneath the R I haven’t got that far yeah I haven’t got that far okay yeah

But I think they’re going to be good I’m not just saying that I’m I’m on the I’m on the wagon this year look and I’m saying this as nice as possible but they they probably couldn’t um they can’t go backwards this year it’s all up wow they

It’s all up from here second last last year no last that’s what I’m saying you got Mick in there you got Zack Fisher Dylan Stevens who I think I think I think that’s and speaking the club line he ready for the club line yeah no no

Stevens is got got the potential to be a star mate I think there’s some oh you’ve gone star and that’s no D at Dylan cuz we’re all about Dylan but um he was big [ __ ] in the he’s pick like three or four top top four or five but he he’s

Been great he’s you’ll work hard mate you’ll run the wi of players that have come in and kind of shown a level of improvement you been around four or five years land it’s kind of moving time so um I think you’ve got a segment in today

About guys that we might might see kind of pop so Dylan absolutely he’s mine well there you go yeah um Charlie Lazaro is a player in around that that mix four years in kind of go time he’s been yeah pretty good across isn’t he well a bit

Of mid bit of forward he going the Midfield you got an early Crow for theing you go down and watch any match play kind of in the would you say is that’s a the bit of Death Valley type High half forward is it that put more if

Six Center Square bounce oh that’s a mid definitely um that’s cool I’ve seen him play he’s actually very good I’m looking forward to him um you got one brittle uh in terms of someone who’s going to bounce yeah who you like oh only because what’s the name of the segment we should

Workshop we had it didn’t we we had uh remember the name remember the name I feel like we might have stolen that from somewhere so maybe we don’t go remember the player whatever the name is don’t who cares about the name who’s the player oh good signment thank you yeah I

Don’t know whether he’s he from what here and I know this kid um obviously we look after him but I think will Dawson’s doing some good stuff down there okay big uh big key back who’s like 20203 somewhere 204 maybe oh nickname uh speaking shotgun that’s a good that’s a

CL nickname that’s a good one country boy M North loves to hunt but just a competitor makes sense there with the nickname yeah he’s a good H really good kid um so I don’t know whether he he might get a chance maybe later in the

Year I don’t know but M they’re going to be blooding a lot of kids this year so I’m excited for for that but I do know also that the big bull one of our favorites on here is uh he’s fighting fit and he’s ready to launch this year

Yeah we’ve heard that out of contract contract jez um but played 36 holes on the weend just to get the get the recovery in the legs oh good on him 36 that’s good for the legs is that a clip or is that a a

Warning in a cart for ad I was told okay going very well and speaks glowingly of our man uh you one of the best managers in the business’s the best manager in the business oh I reckon he could have equity in North Melbourne after this year if brittles has got the contract

Well we we’re going to workshop with Mick about negotiating for him too so we have’t apprciate Mi there um one more on North in all seriousness a fan favorite and a friendly face of um club sports are and Charlie combin obviously had the year off last year with the

Broken has he been going down back or he going back forward going well uh behind the ball behind the ball he’s playing a bit of that uh sort of just run and jump and well look if if you’re a fan of North melbour social media which I am he

Took about 15 uncontested marks the other day took a few intercepts in in a match play a couple of weeks ago um we’re playing on Wednesday and where the we haven’t actually finalized what the squad looks like but down Atwood I’m going to come I might come yeah I’m

Actually calling it for KO shut up running the bench W surprised he’s going really well and and touch wood for him I think he’s only played 18 games yeah in four years like availability no no he’s I I actually really rate CH I hope he

Has a good crack it this year and from all reports apparently clar loves him so you know that better than anyone Mick but I know we can’t you know we got to keep something things close to our chest burn another Little Couple here I got from a former mentor of

Mine was that shelac is you that far up on that’s all he can see hanging out it was a good one the other day we got told this one again um coach taking the P each I said something in a meeting in a coach’s group I think it was

Fluffing up clar and what he’s doing ly walks out um patch one of our other coach patch can you just grab Mick’s left leg I’ll grab his right leg pull him out a CL [Laughter] you can’t do anything yeah you I was like what am I going to

Say it’s very good um very important stuff here too go I like to go through the number changes so there’s just a couple that jumping out Hugh Greenwood’s going to the number one which I’ve what was he last year uh he was 8 sentimental towards his mother beautiful I love the

Number one on him because I think that that it I don’t know just aesthetically looks good on him one kind look bad on anyone really but um you’d be surprised um Z durma in the seven couldn’t have picked a better seven I don’t think oh I would have loved actually wardor in the

Seven and durmer in the six but I’m very happy with D I think he’s going to be yeah Ward does look like a seven what we like to call us like we what cuz we like we like to call him a star yeah he’s got every potential to be the ab Rising Star

This year dma no I’m talking oh WL I’m talking to cuz no cuz cuz has gone 10 if we if we do this I don’t think we’re doing this bit um uh Rising Star nominations or who’s going to win and we go Brett goes yeah this guy I go this

Guy and you go well I got a few yeah no we’ll be doing that in the next couple of episodes we’ve got a lot to get to um C mcera though as well I’ve heard there yeah yeah I’ve also heard that me I know you’re in the four corners of there but

Talk is he PR R between Corners sorry I’m running between the corners oh no you are is it is he a good player yeah it goes well goes well he’s um smooth like his ability to kick the ball and like just you know left Footers always look like they’re better kicks yes but

He’s got an added layer to that I think yeah okay and in time and space like lights out with B left no they didn’t sometimes you had all brand new boots on sometimes sometimes they used to think I did um M MCC yeah I’m really excited to see him he’s got that very

Straight hair as well have you seen that yeah if you cut up real short he look like Charlie Gates off Me Myself and IR even went real short yeah I think he’s I don’t know what that means but I think he’s got know charie baile go back and

Watch yeah I will it’s the old regimented army dude oh yeah yeah I like that yes I know you get that I like MCA though it’s going to be good I’m really excited for two other players Dylan Stevens and Zack Fisher too just cuz you

Know fish made I think he’s going to be really uh cool hey Toby pink he’s come from back to he’s another Max Sports boy big pinky pinky was at the swans then he went back to and now he’s back again yeah good I think I kicked six on him at

The KN but um he’s probably learned from that and he’s back on the list K six yeah 193 94 C back he’s played on a little [ __ ] he was around the mark in the he was around the D50 and it was four okay so there’s a bit of M on that story anyway

Brisban I don’t have much on them but I saw their training jumpers the other week we’re late you see them no didn’t were really good so had the Fitzroy fit Roy oh yeah I see sorry that’s okay um player um well I’ve got can I have a

Couple here one of one of our boys who got drafted up there d boy ly Lloyd I’m really excited Scrat that was for those who have never heard that name before give USD for those who have never heard that name before ly Lloyd yeah so Mick

And I coached him I was the assistant to the genius um and lyy kicked 9 goals in a game last year and he’s gone up there and then got drafted to the L you know oh and sand dragons um Brett was coaching the year before lyy was only

Okay and then Brett left and lyy exploded yeah and kick on yeah when you’ve got the the two greats there imagine if I was coaching the third year [ __ ] you could well you could have but D dmy Tyson’s taken over this year um but I’ve got a couple other boys KY lman

Harry sharp I reckon they’re ready to KY lman sort of been scratching around a little bit on the oh okay well you tell us about him I just like him he’s number one too isn’t he think so so I like him I think he’s quite funny he’s been doing a bit of the

The comedy stuff up there on the Instagram accounts but I think he’s a good player I actually know my friend M Macy who is a massive massive line supporter she’s absolutely diard and she speaks glowingly of kyman so there you go and Harry Shar won the uh 2K time TR

A couple of years ago so super fit kid can run the wings all day but couple of years in now I reckon he’s ready to maybe some many spot I know this kid a star already but Jasper Fletcher star stop throwing star out M he’s second year player he aat on these

Kids he’s going to be a star he’s um he’s Ash back round one no no don’t think so didn’t think so yeah I got Logan Morris who again um jets y uh played a game down there for the W Tigers last year uh went about 30 pick

30 kick five in the in club so good um kind of hybrid forward third or fourth forward 192 93 CM good H ahead I kick six on Toby pink the ne yeah Toby pink I reckon the LW should win it this year I’ve actually got them sliding out of the eight

FR I’ve got them sliding out of the eight I reckon they’re North finishing 11th and the line sliding out of the eight wow you’re a hard hitter this year or Oregon [ __ ] them they’re done cut that up that is they’re done mate I can’t wait I’d say near Le start

Is that just think they’ve had their chances they’ve had their chances but they’re not old who’s their old players would they get better like they’ve got get better they got ashof will come back in the side um dday will become Po and out a bit of depth Jasper Fletcher is

Going to be a star couple good nles players there that’s good um this is great stuff you’re definitely going to with I actually am joking they actually listen I’m not joking about them sliding I’m saying those players are very good I’m joking about them I’m not joking about where they’re going to

Finish I don’t I just don’t think it’s going to jail this year got a feeling all right sweet you might be right um I have them I’d have them up up and around the Mark again yeah what were they um Grand finalist they’ll be yeah top four

Yeah they should have won the granny um I will say uh our mate um number 33 Bailey [ __ ] hell it doesn’t get it doesn’t really get spoken about and we talk about irrelevant things that don’t matter because you didn’t win but hands down that have to be one of the best

Games of players play that’s lost in a granny don’t you think uh best half his first half was really really good I think what about that goal though a couple of his goals were bril one where he yeah did all the smother and then the drop punt from the boundary unbelievable

Yeah um he’s he’s got a really good summer too which is good so in saying that maybe they won’t come up a bit higher yeah just sneak into the eight yep um bit weird with Do’s going in the aamanis 12 you don’t R it rattles me a little bit

Finished in what I’d rather him he went to the dogs I reckon he uh doie should have been maybe a three what’s his name again Dodie he should been the N anyway um love this guy as well his name is Bruce Revel yeah yeah Brucey looks know a lot

About Bru he uh got drafted from their vfl did he so he’s a brisban boy yeah oh there you go yeah mature age yeah we love that that um Blues they look pretty well um if I said lines are top two I’ve got the the blue

Bag is top four I think that’s where they have to finish this year stop reading the herald son Mick um Brett whatever your name is I don’t read The Herald son haven’t done the article you read was it about um list demographic is perfect I’m saying you bik you know

Actually come up with opinion yourself where do I I’ve got him fifth show us your lad I’ve actually got him here fifth look fifth oh can’t you’re facing a computer I think they got one more year to build okay I just think that no I I disagree I’ll tell you

Who my Premiership player uh Premiership team is shortly okay fantastic they’re in this mix of who we’re talking about this week yeah I they met a really not or Brisbane I tell you who was a shrewd pickup like the which rude Fantasia Hollands oh apparently he’s dominating

I’ve got yeah I’ve got andio Fantasia as my ones to watch I’ve got zy Williams as my one to watch cuz he’s been out for so long you just forget about him don’t you like not you know just cuz he’s been out for a while yeah but he’s he’s had a

Really good summer so he’s fit and RAR in the go him and Sardi off half back I think could be really good do more in the Midfield do you reckon Fantasia plays from all reports yeah yeah yeah because who would he whose spot would have he taken from last year who was

Smoke forward mix well there’s although there’s and there’s love there’s Duran fogy Duran yeah so you know whoever’s playing the best he just rotated you bobly got a squad of 44 Elijah hollo is the one with um obviously his brother oie Holland Elijah Hollands from Gold Coast he was pick

Seven or 10 yeah seven seven and with a knee yeah yeah give us your breakout player D from Blues yeah I had um I had Holland until you said it but my other one was Fantasia I think that he can get back to his Peak form he he was has he

Been injured I don’t know what happened really play not sure do you know BR say that again doing a couple other things yeah organizing the team tonight have you got enough not got enough players no we don’t we’re short right for late yeah um what was the question Fantasia why

Wasn’t he playing at Port injured was he injured okay and he’s all good now yeah I think yeah from what I’ve been told yeah he’s he’s going okay they are a bloody good team um I just don’t want to overhop them too much I like I’m yeah overhyping them over over har I

Don’t want to bend him over a h I learned so many new phrases when I’m in here it’s amazing we just do a mash up off uh of Tom d uh and over h HP har um fifth for me yeah fifth but that doesn’t mean they can’t win the flag I’m just

Saying I think it’s fifth tougher from fifth it’s [ __ ] possible mate isn’t it it’s possible yeah you’re in the eight so good team um mature team they got all their Stars around Stars I can’t wait for the team to come up that right age demographic um yeah they’ll be good

They’ll be a top four um one that I am really excited for as well and loving the number allocation to this player to is Ashton mu Mo mate it’s hard where’s the you in it m could be a silent [ __ ] mu Mo moer Ashton moer um from

Adelaide two years ago they had him at number one in the draft obviously slid down a little bit but we know the talent there and they’ve got him at the pick 43 too sorry um pick number 43 which myself and Citi I think he had bad hips for the

Whole year couldn’t get him right lost a lot Power get a bit of Phio and get a bit of plates and Bob’s your uncle Bill’s your brother-in-law yeah he is i r the 43 and he’s R the 43 um Prem ship favorites of mine oh no if you say the swans I’m

Swans is that um not yours Brett is it I haven’t got him in the uh he got no I’ve got him in the bottom half of the eight or potentially just out and it’s not it’s actually not really to do with Adams or Grundy heading there I think

They’re going to add strength but watching this team last year I just I really enjoyed yeah I love this on I I shouldn’t but I I enjoy it I enjoy it they tend to get players up there that go really well like an example Ken to syney I look at

One that could follow that path James Jord James I had him as mine as well like you know good player at Melbourne serviceable but I feel like you go up there and he gets given responsibility he go straight in there they lacked mids last they were not a great contested

Ballside last year were they and clearance I’ve actually another one a bit of a you’d nearly say a bull to get in there bull yeah H yeah Ang sheld get him in there it’s been two three years in it and hasn’t quite got a hold of it

But he um he from wa good player nice you re you got sliding d uh I’ve got him yeah yeah towards the back end of the eight potentially ninth 10th they finished last year they finished eighth eighth and played Carlton yeah and nearly rolled him yeah Colton won by

Three points I reckon how many clubs is Joel hamling at his fourth Club third fourth catch Bulldogs Sydney good effort yeah journeyman yeah yeah and that’s um three different states Regional NC’s been been around he couldn’t have stayed in the same house for too long no Tommy Sheran about it yeah there he

Isny about Tommy um what about uh the number selection they didn’t they retired the 23 for Buddy they just rarded that for a year a year maching yeah that’s right uh Indie Kirk yeah Brett’s son wearing that 31 Taylor Adams in the three bro GR in

The four you know how I feel about rman in number four me I don’t love it who’s the other rman in four that you don’t like well Brody was the other one when is at Collingwood and Sean sha D’s in four sha Dary needs to be in a bigger number he

Needs to be in a bigger number and also 44 maybe har something else and also like Luke Jackson was he’s at nine at freem manal now but he was at six M and I didn’t love that um he can somewhat pull it off cuz he’s athletic but

There’s been a few like Rory lob in the seven yeah don’t rate it no that’s fair enough get out boys get out get some jets in there um did not jet if you in the rock you do not deserve single figures get another one down at bloody

Maxi G he’s the 11 so that’s as close I re 11 looks great on the rman um which is good hard heating stuff yeah yeah the bomb R yeah uh I’ve thought they’re going to win the first four then lose every game after it like

The last few years they had as well yeah and does the rout the street continue of not winning a final yeah oh for all my bombers mates how long how long is that now it’s it’s over 6,000 days isn’t it is it the ’90s or 2000 yeah

I000 they won they won the 2,000 flag yeah so they’ve brought in Gresham yeah in the 11 don’t like it don’t love the 11 uh uh Mai what number is he wearing 32 yeah 32 cuz he was 23 at nor so he’s gone the um night cadd looks to be a uh yeah

Jack he has game against there you go he said it so much weight just been added to his jumper well he’s 32 who breaks out who who remember the name remember the name at um oh it’s it’s an obvious one Elijah Sardis we haven’t seen him at full T

Yet what’s a word I’m looking for there full til what is wrong with me what is actually wrong with me o00 can’t start start early go earlier um I’ve got I’ve got Harry Jones as the breakout player he needs to have a big year he does he

He um he was looking good about two years ago but yeah had a shocking run with injury last year uh end up with a stress traing his back but now had a Flawless preseason which is touchwood um everything’s going to plan foron I like and this is a bit of track watching last

Year our vfl when where we play ESS and vfl tex wangan oh yeah did some stuff gav some probably probably needed um a pre-season or ability just being the pro went for a bit longer figure it all out but had the tools yeah okay he’s got the

Uh he’s got the regim J you’d say just hasn’t handed it in Tumble weeds anyway okay we’re fresh off we haven’t had a preseason ourselves here that’s it guys so please bear with us um before we get to our have you got any where did they finish I’ve got bottom

Half 10 um gram I think’s a star I think he’s a star at his best at his best mate come on his best you’re throwing out too much I’m going to change I got to find another name Goldstein how old’s Goldstein now uh 38 35 I reckon 35 okay

And dma I think is’s a good player solid solid player Sol player on the that’s a real slot on or blot on him no well I’m trying not to overuse it but I think he’s a very very good player and will add to that team what do they need to do

The Dons honestly to get a little bit consistency I reckon I that’s the biggest thing yeah what um what’s the position they’ve been looking for for all it’s key forward yeah it’s like well Pete right was pretty good two years ago won there b f so he was a real focal

Point but then he dislocated his shoulder right before round one so they missed him for the whole first half of the Year Harry Jones hurts his back and then they’re relying on Weedman and Weedman Weedman Weedman you’re just taking the piss now no no actually Jake Stringer was in and

Out McDonald Tipp and Woody came in and out flushing the pan sort of stuff and then forward line would be Jones uh ped right yeah it’s handy yeah who’s coaching there besides Scott who they got I look at coaching now now that I know the depth of some of going there

In development so he’s teaching the big boys how to no I’m Mi looking at me like me I’m saying I look at the depth of what North Melbourne have with the great PL getting them in yeah yeah yeah and they need to have some likewise Talent

There I’m sure they do but I don’t know who that who it is uh januza still there J’s a good player good coach handsome man oh one of one of the most handsome in the game he’s still he’s could comment on that because you’re you’re kind of in that category being handsome

Yeah yeah thanks boys um J is J is a good very good looking uh unit yeah you and J strolling into let’s call it one of these hot their shoulders would be pinned right back from you yeah who’s turning more heads yeah with the Silver Fox um slick back you’ve got the height

And maybe the broader shoulders yeah it might be depending on how we dress yeah it depends if you’re wearing the um the te voice hang on I’ll let you take the lead cuz I haven’t seen J in any pear te I haven’t seen any I haven’t seen any

Sponsored ads or or any cookies I se J put up any cookies lately was PE it was peer you peer um Freo M where have you got him bottom half for me I got 14th yeah bottom half yeah what what were they last year kind of [ __ ] they were they were

Disappointing last year is Peter Bell still there out of curiosity I remember there was a bit bit of heat on tell who’s um Tinker already a good player so he’s not the um the Riser but GI Miss he in a pretty poor year for Freo he how you scratch golfer he kind of

Looks like he would be he’s smooth smooth mthly smooth Jeremy sharp did he go from Gold Coast yeah that’s he tried to do it the year before I re and E from W yeah so was that a good trade for them like was that a they gave up not much

Okay so yeah okay so he’s coming to up the 14 that’s concerning for for the club so J you’re saying he’s already a very good player but he’s not going to I I I would think to pinch to pinch a word he’s a potential star absolutely okay what you two can throw

Around you see how we tra we were just really like St and he’s their number one forward now yeah Matt tabano has been around forever good I hear about you and Tommy talk about tab honestly he’s been for a while but he fiddle and a miss can kick he’

Probably kick 50 I think he he won’t have Miss much this year is what I’m saying he’s no in all seriousness he is a good player very good player potential for that that and um beautiful left footer is he yeah number 24 off this time last year

He was um they training him all forward it’s all going to be forward and it kind of didn’t hit the mark no didn’t work is is there too much to think about for that in ter you just say m there’s a ball go get it and Bully your way

Through and just rough a few blocks up go get it yeah uh my young star or named remember I think this guy’s going to be injected into that Midfield as well Hayden young um he’s already he’s been around for a little bit but I reckon he’s ready to really pop who um

Beautiful kick beautiful kick so he goes in F goes in shw yeah omir plays half for I reckon right okay you’re wondering who squeez out you can kind of play five or six through there um Ro didn’t play much last year so he’s probably another

One that’s in there probably is a is a big loss for them I think well they win more often than not when he kicked two plus goals Loy SCH and he’s not there anymore we’re not talking about the P today but they will be obviously you know I’ve got my

Premierships team the swans but I think it’s out of them and the pies but this year you think a Premiership team getting a player like schz in as well like that’s crazy that’s pretty unfair but in a good way well I think it’s just savy list management yeah well you lose

Adams yeah but you’re getting in yeah it’s crazy it’s right and and they were you know and ginan wow that’s exactly right and they lost Grundy the year before as well they moved him on so I think they’re yeah they’re just willing to pull the trigger on calls they think

That’s going to make their Club better which oddmire yeah concur um are we talking Callingwood or sticking with prayer where you got them fre I got fre 14th so that was where about where they were last year yeah um also McDonald’s back as well actually just I do like the

Story of melbour vfl Carlton vfl and then freem man yeah fantastic had injury at he really bad when he finished and then waves gets a job like plays a bit of AFL freshens up and no injury so what are you saying preseason too hard you coach working them too hard we well

No working bit well we had a stress in his back I remember it was like real just one of those Shockers that you just can’t get rid of yeah but there’s a bit simulation go out work oh maybe he needs a 9 just turn 9 turn up at six run a lap

And into it run a lap couple of leg swings May he’s just getting down the 700s the 700s let’s get a 700s update we need to get it look there’s not much of an update at the moment you guys bu we’ve all been involved in things like the

Which haven’t really taken the 700s my list is long but start podcast back in 2016 that finished up pretty quickly the seven the 700s have been yeah not much uh not much biting on that one yeah fair enough too too many numbers you just wouldn’t get a kick

Would you get race get them all on there not enough balls not enough balls um anyway boys what’s on for the week uh what’s on the practice games AR um should we go together no I’ve um work to do but um Connor’s playing big Connor o Sullivan’s going to play against the

Baggers down at icon on Thursday so I’d go to that what um what other games this weekend so I think North and col the next one yeah uh that’s Wednesday and then cats blues and then dogs Hawks Friday and the rest are all into state I’m pretty sure how’s your crop going

You got a few drafted so Max Sports let’s give a little um summation real quick summation on all of the guys that got drafted so Lukey Luke Lloyd um you know settled in obviously up there which is really good and then move him into a he’s he’s in with a dock actually with

Three other boys or two other boys yeah up there so um learning the ropes trying to find him a car at the moment actually so maybe you got a up in Brisbane Never follow be H he’s going really well um Conor suvan grian Myers wanted to offer

Him a 10e contract just recently so that didn’t miss K I’ll tell you a little story actually we were both at the draft yes and I was actually doing a bit of work with the AFL that night and I sorry you and ton me and ton I didn’t really get used they

Just used Tony they kept cutting my segments anyway we were there I standing there because the week prior or the week after I had Joel S on the Pod yeah so I was standing with him just having a chat and um we’ll just talk and shop and then

All the jalong guys sort of there like Shannon burn and um all those boys and Sh Burns even yeah Shannon Burns was only one of him Che only one it’s only one of him oh dear Shannon Burns he was there and the rest of the recruiting team anyway so

From memory you’ll know this better cuz you’re the manager but there was a bit of chat and I was saying before it we just it was a week before we’d had the Pod with Connor you and I and we’re talking and I was like just [ __ ] I

Couldn’t believe it I was like this BL is just unbelievable like genuinely the most switched on young kid I’ve ever spoken to in my life and I was like talking to the recruiters and they had probably like they already had this in mind anyway but I was like mate [ __ ]

Did this podcast with Brit the other day with Conor Sullivan I was like this kid is Fu like just a star mate I’m not you know what I’m using that with him yeah he was crazy you know if you ever listen to that episode he was so switch on so

Humble just everything about him I was like this guy is going to be incredible and long story short they ended up moving a few picks around not I don’t think that my you don’t think but you there could have been some part about me there but I think I had taken what you

Said and and changed their picks and then picked him up hry Mackey Steven Wales they’re just like you know what if dill Blackley rates him with all the foot that he watches he’s our man yeah guarantee that didn’t yeah that actually well I can guarantee the conversation

Happened but I agree that it didn’t happen anyway that was quite interesting yeah but he’s had it um really good preseason which is good I think he finished first or second or no second or third in there running and all that BL who’s 198 done well Will Graham really

Good up at the Suns he was their last uh well not their last pick but they they had the three guys that was touted and then was um the end of the first round um really good preseason will Rollins up there as well he was a rookie taken um

Northern Territory key to we moved down to sa to do all of his stuff and big lucky Smith um Ruckman for the dogs he’s been um going really well as well nicknamed fossil because he looks like he’s 40 already car in air and just a really mature he’s a big man he’s going

To end up being a big lad still little bit of growth in American potentially yeah it’s tall and um you’re one pick that’s impressed you the most One play that’s impressed you well Brett spoke about him the the will Dawson one he’s probably not one that is

Getting as much um air time as you know mcer and dmer and the likes but he just comes in and absorbs it and whatever you put in front of him he does right now he’s quite skinny quite a light frame how big is he 20 I think he’s

2023 but he’s um yeah he’s baby face he’s got the braces but I reckon within 12 to 24 months if you took a screenshot of what you take a photo of him now before and after Chuck him in a pear of te and he’ll be popping into the EXT

December 27 birthday so he’s not far off being drafted is January 1 like if you’re yeah right geez there you go so you could be 17y old three days ago yeah have to watch it cuz you had to get an Uber home from training one day but I’ve
