And yeah, it seemed very, very odd for me and looked a little bit more like maybe a clash internally with George and someone at the club rather than his football doing the talking.

Not the worst idea.

I mean, a coffee or a martini.

Well, why not both?

Speaking of Nathan Brown.

Did he?

Is that the advice of a colleague?

Just a few throwdowns to get us through.

We've got a two-hour ep today, so you've got to refuel as you go.

99-cent delivery as well on Mick Delivery, so got you covered.

No, I think they've been fantastic.

And I've been pretty strong on how good they are and how good they can be this season.

I think the one thing that comes under the microscope tonight is Hawthorne's midfield.

So that's been the question really around them this season.

Obviously didn't get Zach Merritt, but then the talk around, well, their young stars are actually playing really, really well through there that are rotating through or playing permanent roles and everything.

I think tonight we get to see, okay, yes, we get to see Frio really challenged against a team that's very good defensively, very good offensively as well.

How does Hawthorne's midfield stack up and stand up in a game like this?

There should be pots getting put down anyway.

For sure.

Responsibly.
