Chapter 1: What happened in the Swans vs. Doggies game?

0.031 - 19.187 Joey

The Swans just took you for a walk around Marvel. Heard you were throwing a 10-year Premiership reunion. Decided to throw their own party. It's called belting you around the park for a couple of hours. Redemption for 2016 for them and I tried to warn you, Lee. I tried to tell you. It's now here. There's nothing you can do about it. Charlie Kernow has figured this thing out. He has arrived.

0

19.607 - 31.312 Joey

He's in a Sydney jersey. That's terrifying. What do we do with that? Because I'm out of answers now the delivery is getting? With a good team? Oh, pack it up.

0

34.296 - 49.36 Xander

Welcome back, you rats to the Big Red Shed on a feel-good Friday. All the rats in the cage that you love and know. Game of football on last night. I think one of those ones where we found out more about what we already knew about both teams.

0

49.34 - 73.187 Xander

swans just humming charlie kerno has now arrived was gonna happen we were expecting it seven goals was just here erupted and everyone's saying oh the defense wasn't there anyone could kick those goals in that defense afl players pretty good and then the dogs four and zip start season now go four and three things i look at bad look like absolute dog piss doc what do we take away what we learn

0

73.167 - 92.59 Doc

Yeah, I've been a little bit worried about the dogs, about the way they've been playing, even to start the year. Like they were relying heavily on clearance and contest and scoring really well from that. But the back half ball movement was... struggling at the start of the year and now that it's getting, now they're losing a bit more of the contest clearance because they've got some injuries.

93.091 - 114.81 Doc

It's kind of exposing, exposing, exposing, I'm turning to you, exposing. What the fuck? Oh, okay. What's going on? Sometimes you make yourself feel good if you're going to fight over taking someone else down. It's exposing their flaws in their game and hopefully they can turn around. From the Swans, I've been saying the Swans are going to win the flag the whole year. I love the way they play.

115.23 - 134.399 Doc

Defensively strong. Offensively, their ball movement is just crazy. And you just don't want to get stuck in their game. The speed of ball movement. They can play end-to-end. They can play contests. They're just going so well. The thing I noticed with the Swans, and it's probably the point last night, they can really expose some back halves with their contests.

134.459 - 153.431 Doc

They leave that massive gap in front of it. They've got explosive players come out the front door and then they just get amazing looks inside 50 with 1v1. So guys like Amadi and Charlie are just going to dine out the whole year. So... I still think this one's going to win the flag, and I've been saying that for a while. But that's the two cents from last night.

153.471 - 155.694 Doc

Do you want to insult anyone before you get started? Make sure it feels good or not?

Chapter 2: How are the Swans performing this season?

155.714 - 180.002 Dan

Well, I'm not going to insult anyone, just given that- You can. Quite literally, on my phone, on Wednesday night at 6.55 p.m., I got a text from Joey Lopez that reads- Oh, my God. Xander- You did say that. No, that's- So I'm going to get my powder dry because I don't know what's coming my way.

0

180.022 - 191.758 Unknown

No, it's only because I announced that my big signing for Fitzroy, not Fitzroy Lions, just Fitzroy. Say that again. You said, I can't see what team you're playing for.

0

191.838 - 198.487 Dan

Well, I was listening to the video and I was waiting for this big LeBron, the decision, and all I heard was guys going, whoa!

0

199.348 - 201.471 Unknown

Did you not see me put the hat on and I had the logo?

0

201.451 - 203.555 Dan

Yeah, but it could have been the Moe lines.

203.575 - 205.86 Unknown

You didn't want to break that one? So you reckon my production sucks?

206.141 - 226.523 Dan

Well, I wasn't over it. I wasn't across it. I got beaten on it. I don't know. I feel that there's always something with... Look, bad injury list and, and, and, and, and, and. But there's just always something with the dogs, isn't there? Always. There's always something that they blame... I don't know. Like in 2016, Bob Murphy was the All-Australian captain the year before in 2015, wasn't he?

226.543 - 236.916 Dan

And he did his knee in round two and they still found a way. This is quite bad at the moment, but good teams find a way, don't they? Like you said, Bok. Bok.

237.236 - 237.556 Doc

Joey.

Chapter 3: What insights did Nick Watson share about his season start?

490.895 - 498.885 Dan

I'm just... We're going to get... I've just had enough of this tribunal and appeals board. Yeah, we'll get to that. And it just... It's getting to you now. It just pisses me off.

0

498.905 - 500.487 Xander

Is it leaking into other areas of your life?

0

500.507 - 500.947 Dan

Yeah, it is.

0

500.967 - 507.195 Xander

Yeah, that's why he's taking it out on us. You have said... You know, I've felt a sense of just anger and just real pointy this week in the group chat.

0

507.175 - 509.479 Dan

I felt very negative for the last 24 hours.

509.579 - 524.385 Xander

You've come after everyone. Poor Electric's over there just shaking. He doesn't want to say a word the way you've gone after him this week. You said that he was the biggest cherry picker in junior football of all time last night. Poor guy wasn't even doing anything wrong. You said that he went after a hammer or a seed from the top of the goal square and you gave it to him. Wow. Okay, hang on.

524.405 - 529.354 Xander

Two things. First, just for everyone that's listening.

529.574 - 544.184 Dan

Oh, man. Doc came hard. Doc came after Barbs and I hard. What did he say? Doc went for Barbs and I in the chat saying that he could, because we were talking about junior footy or something.

544.204 - 547.329 Doc

Yeah. No, you started talking about junior footy and I thought that.

Chapter 4: How is the media reacting to the Carlton situation?

775.29 - 780.023 Dan

But do they need Butters? But Bevo is known to just throw magnets around and play players into position.

0

780.364 - 781.768 Xander

Butters to fullback.

0

783.065 - 791.236 Unknown

Well, Richard's paid off half back for the early part of his career, so maybe he could just move back there. Or there's talk about Bont moving down there as well. He could steer the ship from back there.

0

791.256 - 792.397 Dan

He's an Australian midfielder, though.

0

792.477 - 796.923 Unknown

Yeah, I'm not saying that's the thing, but I'm saying that's just an example of what Bello does with moving magnets.

798.005 - 800.869 Doc

Lib is much older than he was, I think.

801.069 - 807.958 Xander

We don't need to bring my age into this. We can just do hamstrings at any age. It doesn't matter.

807.938 - 808.759 Unknown

You are old, man.

809 - 813.267 Xander

No, I'm not. You're older than me. No, I'm not. 42, by the way. My hammy's sore.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the AFL's AI integration?

874.304 - 877.45 Xander

I think their problems are a lot more than the key backstocks.

0

877.582 - 894.139 Dan

You've got to look at the trade period and think sliding doors, right? Imagine if Buku got to Carlton in that trade. Imagine their backline without Buku at this stage, which is not a sentence I thought I'd be saying at round seven, but to not have Buku there. And then also on the flip side of things, imagine if they landed Carlton Wilkie.

0

894.119 - 898.992 Dan

who's having probably the best season of his career right now. They'd be flying.

0

899.232 - 902.18 Xander

You're right, though. They are that key back.

0

902.24 - 903.945 Dan

Or Silvani, if they landed him as well.

903.985 - 907.915 Xander

Everyone always says just chuck Norton back, but now they can't because they've got nothing forward.

908.156 - 909.9 Dan

And they don't have Norton out there probably as well.

910.353 - 926.993 Xander

Yeah, yeah, true. So they're in all sorts. And even their ball movement last night compared to how they started, that was so quick initially. We dubbed it the Fast Football League, and it was because of the way they were playing, and they went 4-zip, and it's Brisbane, all these teams. They were just moving the ball so quickly. And now it's just hard. Everything's just hard.

927.073 - 929.196 Xander

Out of the back line, it's hard to just find a hit-up kick.

Chapter 6: How does Carlton's management impact player welfare?

1055.164 - 1056.105 Doc

What is a...

0

1056.085 - 1058.552 Dan

Blake's a little hard to tackle.

0

1058.572 - 1079.735 Doc

What do you think he said? He's just powerful and then there's a level of arrogance that he just knows that he can get away from everyone and he just plays that way. Credit where credit's due for Dean Cox. Longmire has the team successful for a long period of time. Dean Cox takes over. A bit of a dip last year, trying to change the way they play.

0

1079.775 - 1095.529 Doc

You look at what he was trying to implement last year with what it is this year. Like, he's gone run and gun. You think about the pieces he's got in the back line, like Blakey, Bice. Like, they're built for that. You look at their forward line with Charlie and how they're disconnecting that, getting dangerous 1v1s. And their midfield's powerful.

0

1095.549 - 1103.903 Doc

They're giving the mids as much space as possible out the front of contests. Like... He's built the team around the weapons he's got and it just looks so dangerous all the time.

1103.923 - 1104.705 Xander

Yeah.

1104.765 - 1124.331 Dan

Yeah. The other one as well, outside of because the Chad signed on to the end of next year, we've covered how much of a base kernel was, but Joel Amati has actually looked quite good this year. And playing that second fiddle suits him a lot. Kicked three goals to you last night. No deal. No revised deal on the table from Sydney yet. And Victorian clubs are circling around him. He wants to stay.

1124.732 - 1131.284 Dan

If he could wave his magic wand and get the ideal outcome, he gets a decent deal at Sydney. He stays there long term. But that's one to watch.

1131.324 - 1139.237 Unknown

DeMille, surely. Is that someone that maybe Conley would look at if they luck out with Ben King or even Mitch Lewis or something? Yeah. Yeah, he's going Geelong for sure.

Chapter 7: What are the latest updates on player injuries?

1229.337 - 1238.482 Unknown

Even that guy leaves 40. Is it Brodie Foote? Brodie Foote, he kicked his first goal last night. He won the BNF at Norwood and captained Essendon VFL when he was 20 years old.

0

1238.542 - 1238.782 Nick Watson

Yeah.

0

1239.103 - 1246.133 Unknown

And he just slotted in there. It was his first game last night, I'm pretty sure. But he's someone that can rack up a few touches and kick a few goals as well.

0

1246.253 - 1250.079 Dan

Yeah, they just find him. Riley Bice came from nowhere.

0

1250.099 - 1253.384 Unknown

Bice came out of absolutely nowhere. How about his first game? Yeah, that was horrendous.

1254.485 - 1255.867 Dan

His first game was the worst game I've ever seen.

1255.907 - 1257.91 Unknown

But that's not him though. He's so good with it.

1257.93 - 1261.896 Dan

The other one as well that I like, and we're getting real nitty gritty into the list, we should probably...

1261.876 - 1291.275 Dan

talk about some other stuff but Angus Sheldrick he's a big he's an accumulator and he's massive he's huge as well he looks like Errol Goulden but with extra size like just his stature we need to sass that academy out and see what's going on down there we need an audit there but you're right he's got a deal to the end of next year he's from WA you'd have a look at him playing fifth midfielder it's great recruiting it's just good they just seem to do it all the time they have done it since like 05 I swear even like Teddy Richards going up there it just feels like they just do it all the time

Chapter 8: What can we expect from upcoming games this weekend?

1724.228 - 1728.057 Xander

Anytime you used to do any media, it would be a thing that come back to get you. Like everyone wants to lay on you.

0

1728.077 - 1734.136 Nick Watson

I had a few cringy lines as well. What ones? I love casting spells. Very shocking.

0

1734.157 - 1736.42 Unknown

I love casting spells. Is that what you chant when you kick a mad goal?

0

1737 - 1740.986 Xander

It's like, I love casting spells. Yeah, that's hard to come back from. I love casting spells.

0

1741.206 - 1741.386 Nick Watson

Yeah.

1741.467 - 1749.297 Xander

I mean, do you like casting? The Wiz is obviously the nickname. We know The Wiz. Yeah. So then I heard another thing that you actually called yourself the Bulldog before The Wiz.

1749.438 - 1750.459 Nick Watson

Where did you get this from?

1750.479 - 1751.22 Xander

I just heard.

1751.2 - 1761.211 Nick Watson

What's the Bulldog? Oh, I don't know. It was a while ago. No, that was false. I did not call myself the Bulldog. It was actually my major, Nick Gage, called me the Bulldog. The Bulldog? Yeah.
