Chapter 1: What surprising performance did the GWS Giants deliver against the premiers?
seen the Giants do something I've never seen. Kick 14 goals in a quarter against the back-to-back winning premiers in a tsunami effort where the Lions are drowning. The Giants just broke them. Broke them wide open. Oh, Lions, are you training codes? Are you brown and yellow training coats? Because you're getting the shit beat out of you by the Orange Tsunami.
I have no idea what they are, except they will rock your world. When they do that, it was a goal at halftime. They're up by 90. 90 points. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. Alright, welcome on this 25th of May. Great to be here with you on this Overreaction Monday where it's a great weekend because our team wins now. We didn't, not everyone here had a winning weekend.
We are waiting for the week of, or the round of footy where we come in here and every team that we support as a collective group gets a win. The holy weekend. It's going to be tough when we've got a Melbourne fan in here. It's yet to happen. Well, here we go. It started early. Whoa. That's way too early. You guys okay? Yeah, we're all good. Joey's made it his thing that we lost for some reason.
No, no. Well, he's wearing the D's earring now as well. Yeah. Oh, I got the D's jersey. And the D's jersey. I just want to get around you. I randomly got Ash's wig here. Do you need to wear this or what? Is that for you to wear on the pod? Oh, here we go. It's started. Here you go, mate. So Ash's had a rough week, and Ash came into the studio sledging everyone.
He was on the front foot early with it, knew it was coming his way, and insulted every single person before the marks went on. He came in so aggressive. Yeah, it was real personal stuff as well. No, it wasn't. Stuff like, yeah, well, you don't wipe your ass properly. Yeah, you actually do have a puffy face, not only on Fridays.
So Ash isn't happy, but before we start off with some football stuff, let's say congrats to Tottenham.

Chapter 2: How did the hosts react to the weekend's AFL results?
Never relegated. Never relegated. So you happy, Joe? Yeah. Thank God Polenia hit the crossbar, came back to him, and then he dribbled it like a millimeter past the goal line. Sometimes you have to be just not 100% arse, 95% arse. And not that full menace so you survive. Exactly. And now we finished on a win. So we're showing the league that we're finishing on a high note.
We're booting towards something bigger next year. And only as good as the last game. Exactly. Could be the best in the league. Bruno Fernandes also broke the assist record for Premier League. Huge. 21. Does he get a gold number? Nah, I don't do that. Oh. He might get a little badge on his guernsey or something. Tell you who's stoked about the Tottenham win? My boy Sammy Mitchell.
Yeah, you're texting his wife. Yeah, Lyndall and I are messaging in the early hours of the morning because we're just all Tottenham fans, all yids. And yeah, it was just, come on you Spurs, the whole night. So you're in a group chat with both of them? No, not a group chat. It's just like I'll message Lyndall and she'll pass on the message and then...
He'll be like, oh yeah, tell Joey this, blah, blah. Then we're all good. Oh, that's great, mate. That's how you do it. We love Sam Mitchell here. He texts his wife. No, we're all messing together. Nah. It's all us together. He's too focused on the game. Oh, was he giving input? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Massive Tottenham fan. Man, what is going on here? And then you also saw Anna Gowers.
Yeah, Anna Gowers and I had a drink on Friday night. What? It was Bills going away.

Chapter 3: What milestones and changes are highlighted in this week's recap?
Okay. And Bill went back to the US on Saturday. So we all caught up on Friday Arvo. Yeah. And she was like, so do I get to sit on your lap too?
Yeah.
I was like, oh, so you know about that sort of joke? And she's like, yeah, we all know about it. Okay, so you've infiltrated every Hawthorne lap. We're all very close. That you possibly can. Ultimately, it's one thing. I think I've found the new Turak Rosebery of this season. So last year, if you don't know, there was that team in Tassie who was just so bad at football, got destroyed every game.
I present to you the Brighton senior women. Now... Unbelievably, they lost on the weekend 263-0. It just hit the algorithms somehow and went crazy and then blew up. And it was in my DMs, like everyone's sending it to me. And I had to go, okay, maybe it was a bad game. Maybe it was a one-off. 263-0, it happens. We saw the Giants hit the Lions. You have bad quarters consecutively.
No, having a bad season. Losing on average by 229 points in seven games. And they've scored in total this season, one point. Oh, God. Okay. So we need to help them out somehow. I'll tell you what. We need to get down to training and help them out. Just think at random. I think it starts at the top. Yeah. There's obviously something going on with the coaching. Suck the coach.
I'm sure they're exceptional. We get rid of the coach for one training session. You and I chip in. As you know, our solution to everything now that I guess only I've been the one in the situation is if something is going bad, you always sack the person that's easiest to blame, which is the coach. It seems like it's a foolproof thing. It works. It works. So shout out to Brian City.
Hey, keep going. Keep going because you know it's tough. You go to work during the week, you go to training after work, and then you rock up on the weekends and you just get belted. And that's a tough way to go about your business. Do they train? Is it in Brighton in Melbourne? So-so. Yep. Let's go sort something out. We have to get around them hard.
Then we go out there and just wrap our arms around them and say, listen, we're not going to play for you because we can't, but we're here to support. Yep, absolutely. We'll get there for them. All right, let's get into a recap of the weekend. Round 11. In the books. Round 11? Yeah, you have to think about it. Sorry, no, I read the message on my phone. Richmond 74, Essendon 56.
So Tigers aren't the worst team in the league. That's great. They're definitely not the worst team in the league. That wooden spoon now belongs to Essendon. And I said after the game, I really feel for Essendon fans. It would suck to be an Essendon fan. And if I am an Essendon fan, I'm calling my parents ā

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Essendon team's performance this season?
But as I said, they showed like lots of heart and pride for Adam Uzay. So... I'll tell you what though, like Essendon did show that they had a lot of heart and pride as well. They... Didn't show it throughout the game, but after the game, it looked like Zach Merritt was like in super tears. Yeah. Talking to Xander going back with the flight. Poor Xander. He looked like super rattled.
I felt so bad for him. So I text Xander after him going back to flight with him. And poor Zach Merritt, his whole storyline of ā Wanted to get out. Dragged back into it. Now a hostage to the club. Just lost a game they should have won against what we thought was the worst similar league. Crying, obviously. And then you've got Xander just coming back at full steam with you. You go, oh, God.
I text Xander and said, was he crying? He's like, yeah, I think he was really emotional. I asked him, are you good to go? And he was like, just do what you have to do. I said, I'm going to ask you about your emotions. Is that okay? He's like, do what you want to do. I don't care. Yeah, I feel really bad for him.
Like from a human perspective, it's like, all right, you can take the piss out of him for wanting a trade and wanting to get out of there and free Zach Merritt and whatnot. But he is a human and it's upsetting to see him like that. Yeah, I will say now that I feel the same as you, feel really bad.
And the funny stuff about him writing that Chachi Petit speech was hilarious at the time, but it looks, now it's just sad that he's stuck, like genuine hostage. You're staying here forever. But SNL for all the shit that they've copping this year, they would have circled that match. I mean, like, this is one we can actually win. Just a vibe win. Yeah. What you need. So they just look soulless.
Like they're just soulless. Like anytime your coach tells you and the whole world that you're going to die at some point ā I go, is this the positive guy that we need coaching us? Because he's telling everyone that we're going to die. Like, hey, let's win some football, but also going to die. So there's that as well.
That's one of the games there where there's games as coaches where you go, oh, got to be sacked. Vossi had two of them, Dees and North. And you go, oh, this is done. This is done. This is that game. Do you reckon he's got probably one more? Probably. If they don't sack him this week. Didn't the board say like it was this next three weeks? I heard a rumor that Paul Little's sort of sorting it out.
Really? Yeah. But it's one of those ones where if they don't sack him this week, they may be way into the bye. And if he gets through the bye, then he's there the whole season. He's the guy. Because he's handcuffed them to this decision. Yeah. Well, there's the system that they put in place that they're all- They're all in on. I've got West Coast next week, so- West Coast? Yeah.
If they lose, that is sad. And then the bye after- And then... No, then they've got... West Coast is 720. They've got your game. We've got a 720 game next week. Man, I just don't know. He's handcuffed the club into agreeing that they're on the same plan together because it's a shitty plan. I don't know what's going on. What did they do? It's a shitty plan. It makes no sense.

Chapter 5: What insights do players share about home field advantage?
It's got to be. Do you think it's the best home field advantage in the country? Well, yeah. Max, we were with Max Holmes in the stream and he said, when he got to Marvel, he goes, wow, this feels really wide. And we asked him like, wow, was this, you know, is the alphabet stadium really skinny? He goes, yeah, we love it. When we come out to these grounds, like it just feels so big.
So we love that it's real narrow. We know how to play those grounds. We get to the big grounds and it's like, it feels like a lot.
Chapter 6: How did Scott Pendlebury perform in his milestone game?
Obviously that affects them going to the G on grand final day though. Massively. Massively. Massively. So it's something though. Haggard's lost to Humphreys as well. He had a blinder. Did he have 33? 33 on one. Yeah.
Chapter 7: What changes has Josh Fraser brought to the team?
So apparently he can use both sides of his body, left and right foot. And then he says that he can, for a short kick, which I think he's preferred to his right, he goes, for short kicks, 25 to 30, when I'm trying to hit targets coming at halfback, I'll use my right foot. And when I'm 50 out having a shot on goal, I'll use my left foot. My number first. Okay. So he's doing a Sam Mitchell. Yep.
Anytime anyone's like talking in that way about their kicking, it's game over. Yeah. And when he decides what he wants to use left and right for different types of kicks is crazy.
Chapter 8: Why is the current AFL season considered chaotic?
It is crazy. Crazy. But the cats are just, this is the cats. It has been for a very long time. You think they're going to fall off. You think you see the end and then, oh no, it's not the end. It's actually the start. We're at the start of something now. I thought we were at the end of the toilet roll. No, guess what? New toilet roll. Here we go again. We're going to be good.
We're going to make sure that we run you off your feet. We use the corridor. Actually, both teams were just going up and down the highway. Yeah. Just all that attack. And then we're going to put heaps of goals on. Our midfield is so balanced. We've got so many weapons outside of Baz and Max Holmes. They're going to cut you apart. And if you tag one thing, we'll find a new thing. You can't stop us.
Good luck. It's like trying to find how we're breaching the salary cap. Can't find it. It's happening. Can't find it though. Good luck catching us. They have the best way of just controlling the stoppage and then sweating on that turnover and just going guns blazing, handball, handball, handball, goal. So scary. It's insane.
And like their midfield is like, it's crazy that they dropped or managed Hannah Brundt in this game as well. And they still all stepped up and dominated. They're just unbelievable. Oceane Marlin is so quick as well. Get his grip. Did he grip anyone down? I don't think so. Was he on Heaney? Ball head didn't look like it was on Henny. Maybe not a hard grip. But he's so good.
Again, for Sydney, this isn't a bad thing. You drop the tag, bad's got off. But again, losing's awesome. Charlie's still quiet. I mean, he's kicking too, but... I think the best thing about this game is- You need to find a way to get that forward line working. Well, everyone was watching the Pies game. So Sydney aren't going to cop any shit for this. No, that's a great thing. Yeah.
They just sneak that loss in there. No one's- Everyone's going to forget about it. Then they'll move on. They got Richmond next week. Oh, the comeback win. It's one of those ones where, yep, tug it away. No one's watching us really. There was a bunch of gold numbers at the MCJ. That's all that matters. We weren't our best. Probably should have lost by like eight, ten goals.
Now they've got Richmond next week. Yeah. Well, they'll smack them. Sydney. In Sydney. Echo in the room. But yeah, it actually should have been more. Geelong should have won by way more. Should have been 10 goals. Yeah. Made 32 shots on goal. Jeez. They just play it so well down there. And it looks so imposing when it's just blue and white in the crowd as well. When's their white night?
You're just so up against it. When's their white out? Against the Gold Coast Suns. Is it? Yeah. Is that soon? I've got no idea. Let me have a little look. Okay. Round 14. Brian Myers ACL still hanging on for dear life. Still hanging on. So is he being punished? Is it the fourie? No, it's not. We don't know. He came out in the media.
Like no one comes out in the media with the, yeah, I've got an ACL injury and like talks about the whole story unless they had their fourie chopped and they're trying to disguise it. I mean, you're not wrong. We don't have any proof to say you're wrong. Exactly. So I think he's being punished for playing footsies or tripsies with his mates.
