What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
few of your thoughts this Thursday morning. My anticipation levels for the Commonwealth Games just went from zero to 100 after hearing Bruce talk. He is a national treasure. Rick, how good is Bruce? I absolutely love him and his passion for athletics and the games. If you could get more people to listen to him, more would tune in and watch these games. I'm pumped for them to start now. Once they start, we'll be into them. We'll be into them. Know Your History comes up at 11. That's part two of the failed Melbourne Olympics bid of 1996. Sydney's success in 2000. And then the Consolation Games, the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne of 2006. So Bruce is going to share his memories of the night That Melbourne missed out.
And we've tracked down the Lord Mayor of the time, Winston McAkie, as well. So we've done some homework to set Shannon Gill up for part two of that story. Adam Simpson asked his AI underrated, overrated players of the past two years. Here's some of your responses. My AI had Josh Dunkley, Josh Dacos, and Connor Iden for underrated. Nick Floston has been the most underrated player for a decade. That's from Glenn. Billy Frampton would be the most underrated, holding the Pies backline together. St Kilda side of things, so a Saints fan has asked, most overrated. Mason Wood, an outstanding 2023, but some believe his reputation has remained higher than his week-to-week influence. Brad Hill, proven premiership winger, though his large contract makes him target for criticism when his impact isn't obvious.
Boris is agreeing with his chat GPT. Glad Rainer got his flowers as overrated. Sam Walsh is overrated. Multiple mainly useless possessions every week. That's from Paul. Zerha would have to be in the most overrated. That's from Matt. I think we sort of missed the brief here. The cat's gone for Charlie Curnow. He's leading the Coleman. An underrated Lockie Cowan. Rick really missed the brief. Overrated, Bontempelli. Because almost everyone considers him the best player in the competition when he isn't. He's the highest rated player in each of the past four years. Blake Hardwick, underrated. I reckon that has passed. I think everyone now understands Blake Hardwick. Dan, Josh Weddle, overrated. And then on the question of Collingwood's decisions.
Yeah.
Steel side bottom to retire, according to Jake Nile, and one of Pendlebury or Howe to go on. Adam, the difference between Howe and Pendlebury and Steel is that Howe is still holding the position. The other two feel like they're being squeezed into the side. Pendles was super fumbling and strangely nervous in game 433 and seemed to not recapture his best form. That's from Dan. The Pies need to move on Pendles and keep Howe. If Lockie Neal is coming in, he becomes the full-time midfielder and all our young kids showing potential are midfielders. So they need a game. Howe is extremely valuable. Pendles brings so much more than possessions. I hope he plays on. Howe has been incredible. He is the one to stay.
So that's a little cross section there. And this is Gavin from Albury. I just did my ladder predictor. I can't believe I've got Melbourne at four and Hawthorne at five. Round 22 will be pivotal. Brisbane versus Hawthorne and Melbourne versus Freo. though I'll be out straight away if the Giants have an upset this weekend against Sydney. Gavin, thank you. So the ladder predictor competition closes at noon. For your chance to win two tickets to the Legends game in a cocktail function valued at $600 plus $200 sketches voucher, go to the SEN win page. and enter your final 10. So not week by week, you just put the 10 in order as you see it. Closest to the pin will be deemed the winner if nobody gets it. If multiple people get it, we will choose randomly.
Entries close this Thursday at midday. I reckon there's 144,000 combinations to choose from, but there's fewer moving parts than in previous years. I reckon we can get it. Give us as big a database as possible. We're already beyond 1,200. Fill it in before noon today. Play along, and we'll keep tabs over the last month of the season.
