How did the hosts open the show and share listener feedback about Max King?
All right, thanks for your feedback. So much coming through after our discussion on the Saints handling of Max King. Callum Wilkie there skipping to join us a little bit later on. Chris Fagan also. Oh, your balls are balling now, are you?
Yeah, I'm pulling another one out.
Is that the name? Of course, if you're just joining us, the Clyde Footy Club, they did themselves a mischief this morning with their... Ray. Ray, their nominee, did not call us inside 10 minutes. So, Kingies, dive deep.
422. Yeah.
That is deep. So there's 600-odd balls in this little situation that we've got here, looking to give 10 Sharons away. All thanks to Sharons, to your local footy club.
That's on the deep page here. 422 is the... Pasco Vale Footy Club. I played for the Pasco Vale Footy Club. Did you? I feel like there's going to be an inquiry here.
Are you a club legend? I played under 10s there. Under 10s. All right. So the Pasco Vale Footy Club, their nominee is listed. We've got his name or her name. Must ring us inside 10 minutes to win those.
What promotion and contest details did the hosts explain before the footy chat?
These are our first thoughts. For Signet, life's never flat when you power every moment with the Signet power bank, signet.com. Look, it wasn't a great round of footy, was it? Really? There was a lot of lopsided games. One of those was the Brisbane Lions getting it done against Port Adelaide. Chris Fagan to join us. Let's have a listen to Josh Carr on the loss yesterday.
Tale of two halves in a lot of ways the first half they probably played the game that they didn't want to play forcing it into a bit of a handball game and we could get some pressure on the footy and some opportunities we defended the second quarter the entries were strongly in their favour but in the second half you could see their intent right from the start the way they shifted the footy and were really slow to squeeze the ground and just allow them to sort of cut through us and you know a quality team like that they make you pay and The fundamentals around that, you know, missed tackles, I don't know, we went about 50% in our tackling.
All right, Josh Carr there. Kingy, did they get a pass mark for the season, Port Adelaide, according to you?
Pass mark. Yeah, he's done a pretty good job. A pretty good job. They've been in a lot of winning positions this year and haven't got it done, so there'll be some work to do in the off-season, but I'm really quite comfortable with him as a senior coach. We had our doubts at the start of the year. What's he going to be? How are they going to play? I think he's done a terrific job, but... They're just a bit light on for talent at the moment, aren't they? And have found a way to stay in most games. Couldn't do it on the weekend. That was a pretty strong second half. 14 goals in the second half for the Brisbane Lions. And they just get rolling. I mean, when they start downhill skiing, and I mean that not in a derogatory way, when they get the game on their terms and gather momentum, it is on.
They light up everywhere.
They have more players in their side capable of kicking five goals than any other team. So Logan Morris can kick five on any given day. Bailey can kick five. He's done it before. Cameron, Lohman, Rayner. Not sure about Eric, but not many teams have four or five players capable in their lineup. Probably Sydney, maybe, and Hawthorne are probably the only two where they just get you. Frio's a good one, but they're key forwards. I mean, Tracy doesn't kick. Big bags of goals. He kicks a lot of twos and threes. I know Amos kicked five on the weekend against West Coast, but yeah, what a forward line.
When do we start talking about Will Ashcroft as a top six to eight player in the comp? He's on the move.
Six to eight? He's on the move. Well, he's kicking goals now as well, isn't he?
How do Kane and Kingy summarize the overall round and lopsided games?
That's these damaging 12-score involvements yesterday. He's... On the move. I wouldn't have him in the top 15 yet.
But I'm just saying he's not 30s anymore with a couple of big finals. I think he's on the move. I think he's breaking. Right now, if you had to put a number to it, I'd say that he'd be in the high teens.
