What opening banter and show intro set the tone for this episode?
Kane and Kingy.
You don't f***ing stand up. You're an embarrassment to what you do, mate. I'm so damn disgusting.
Pull up your socks for Underworks Sports Socks. The number wonder down under for socks.
All right, pull up your socks for Underworks Sports Socks. They're durable, comfy, and built for the long run. Underworks are number one down under. Before we get into the action, World Cup final, nil-nil right now. But Spain peppering as we have the second drinks break, all thanks to our good friends at Macca's. Kingy, you got someone who needs to pull their socks up?
Well, you've put this on the radar a long while ago, the non-news breakers trying to get involved in breaking news. And it's... It's uncomfortable for me to do this because he's a man close to your heart. Clearly, it's your brother. He went very early with some stuff about Mitch Georgiades.
I loved working with Mitchell. And look, I hope he stays and plays his whole career at Port Adelaide. But I would be very surprised if he doesn't go back to Perth and thinking West Coast at the end of next year.
Now, I see last week, I see that he's rescinded a previous statement and now gone with something on the lines of that he thinks he'll stay. At the time, that information was true and correct. The at the time excuse, I don't think really works for me.
He's just learning from the actual news breakers.
His line was, I firmly believe that at the time. Where does that sit with you?
Fine. He's happy.
No.
He said he wanted him to stay at Port Adelaide. He's staying. I think Chad's thrilled with it. Oh, is he? Well, that's what he said. He said, I hope he stays. He said he's leaving. I feel... He didn't say he's leaving. He said he'd be shocked if he did stay.
A yes and no answer.
Why are hosts criticizing a non-newsbreaker for early rumours about Mitch Georgiades?
A yes and no answer. Are you allowed to use the I firmly believe that at the time as a valid excuse?
No, I don't think. I don't think the ballers will let the newsbreakers or non-newsbreakers get over that.
So Chad goes in the non-newsbreakers catalogue?
Yes. It's dangerous. Come on, Chad. Come on, man. All right. Pull your socks up, Chad.
I do love him. I let him kick that goal that night. He keeps reminding me about it.
Slap yourself out and pull your socks up. I was listening to our friends on Triple M speak about how good Blake Harwick is. Here's Kate McCarthy and Isaac Smith.
If I'm picking a team where I actually want someone to defend, I'm picking Blake Hardwick. Yeah. To be honest, and this is a biased opinion because I've played with him, he should have four or five All-Australian selections by now. And this is where the All-Australian team's cooked, I reckon. Yep. Because we've got three run-off halfbacks and all that can defend. You said one Blake Hardwick should have five All-Australian teams. I said three or four. He has been, if not the best, the second best small lockdown defender in the competition for the last 10 years.
Well, firstly, it was four or five. Then when your man Jay-Z pulled him up on that, he turned it back to three or four. Which is it? But pull your socks up, and we're all guilty of it, but there is... A media trend that just hands out All-Australians like you wouldn't believe. It's like Oprah. You have a car. You have an All-Australian. Blake Hardwick with four or five All-Australians, as good as he is, is ridiculous. And you've just got to go back through his best and fairest finishes. Like last year, he finishes sixth in their best and fairest, equal with Ginnivan. So if their own coaches aren't voting him as the best in their teams, it would be very difficult to make All-Australians. Where did Battle finish?
I'd have to go back and look at that. Have a little look at that. But when there's a season where there is very few key defenders that can actually stand up, battle season was terrific. But if you're not finishing in the top echelon of your best and fairest over a long period of time for Blake, then you're not going to get four or five All-Australians, are you?
Battle finished behind Blake Hartwig.
Yes. Well, you got me there.
