What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Kane and King. Three. 701ers, we are back. Good morning to you. Uh we love you as well. We love the 901ers. We love particularly the 601ers. Benny Graham in the house. What a weekend for Benny Graham. He's proudest punch in your He was up at one fifteen, did he say he's alone went off this morning?
Yeah, and I don't reckon he slept anyway. Since Friday.
What would he walking on water? Um, big show coming up. Tom Morris, Turkey Tom's in the house, so he's standing by it, ready to go. Lots we've got to get through with him, including Maddie Nix at Adelaide, Zach Butters, and the backstory behind all of that. And all the trade news is that period set to really r uh crank up. And Nate Gardner has just delivered in the news. For those that missed it, uh he went with this. This is growth.
Powered by Signa Powerbanks. Good morning, ballers. I'm Nath Gardner with S E N News.
It's a v it's a big team in here. Little
things just give me so much joy.
JK's wiped us, but it's a bit apart from that, it's a big team.
Everyone erupted out the back when he when he said that. Um all right, our first thoughts. Brisbane through to is it their fifth preliminary row? Did I read that? Wow. Fifth prelim final in a row. This is uh and Chris Fagan is gonna join us very, very shortly. Remarkable Kingy, your first thoughts with the game. I I was there and it felt like the game was over in four minutes. Is that accurate? Four minutes.
Yeah, a hundred percent. We talk a l a lot of different things throughout the course of of the season and and one thing that just keeps coming home to roost in finals is being able to score in bursts. Powerful teams can put five on your nose in five minutes. And th it always rings true that those teams that gap games against the All So Rands s seem to find a way to carry that into a final series. Um and whether that's off the absolute start of the you know, the first siren like they did on the weekend or at a point in the game, like Geelong getting back into the game, we'll get to that later. But you know, getting back into the game or actually gapping the game is is a massive asset. And that they just they still have these half forwards and and spark forwards that
Heart out again. Rip your heart out. Yeah. Rip your heart out. They had that look in your eye, and I I I this is I want to ask Chris Fagan this. When Cam Rayner has that look in his eye, and he there's one moment which I thought broke Adelaide's hearts. He picked the ball up out of the centre bounce, which he went to, doesn't go there often. He was about, I'm gonna say, six metres away from Alex Neil Bullen with his ball under his arm. He looked at Neil Bullen. him he said, This is rugby now. He said. F for the next two seconds this is rugby.
Yeah.
Good luck if you want to tackle me. And he just s steamrolled him. I thought Where's this Cam Rayner every week? And it's not going to be every week that he's in that mood and has that sort of sharpness about him. But it'd be nice if it was not once every seven weeks for Cam Rayner. And he's now I know, he's now in the prime of his career.
What were the first thoughts on Brisbaneβs preliminary final performance?
So I thought he was symbolic of their attitude. I would love for him to be able to do that more consistently. When he plays like that, he's he's amazing. Uh what Zach Bailey did against the team that he'd just r rejected the contract. contract, what Charlie Cameron did early, uh nearly kick five before half time, what Lyman was able to do. Yeah, when they're when they're in that mood, good luck.
I thought the high half forwards engaged in in defense for the for the early part of the game at least. And there's a there's a bit of vision first quarter. Zach Bailey and Will Ashcroft tackling Dawson at the same time. It forced the turnover, went back for I think a McCluggage goal early. And I thought, you know what, when you're getting those two involved defensively, you're on y you talk of Rayner, Rayner rolls right up the field high and and that that's the one that enables um the leapfrog effect. I th I think it might have been a Lowman goal uh early. So they pushed right up the ground and got involved defensively and it allows Rayner to have twenty two touches.
