- 2:27SPEAKER_01: Now, I gotta say right now, credit to the teens who have continued on to play September football.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: Well, technically, it was the end of winter into spring.
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: Now, it was wet, it was wild.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: I watched that last quarter.

- 3:02SPEAKER_01: Now, we'll be sharing this with all the finals, reviews, and thoughts and all that with Aiden, maybe a little bit more detail, but later on I'm about episode episode.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: So 33 point winners to Geelong 1423 107 11874.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Geelong! This is this is something that yes you want it more.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: You want it more than anything.
- 3:26SPEAKER_01: Carlton came out on top of the game and kicked gave the quarter time seven goals to Geelong 14 goals.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: 13 goals I meant to say.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: And uh that's a you can say right now, that's not bad.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Carlton had more opportunities and they took them.
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: Now, the only thing cost them the game was the third quarter.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: Geelong kicked six goals to two, and that was basically done for Carlton's season.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: So look, it wasn't really over, it was 23 points at three-quarter time.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: They win that game, they had a chance, they kicked four straight to four ten.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: So that there's a big difference.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: Now, like I said, I look, I'm proud of that.
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: Geelong cat is my second team due to a family member goes for Geelong, and yeah, it's it's always going to be and why they're so so clever, Geelong.
- 4:19SPEAKER_01: They find ways to win games, and you know, right now, Geelong are back in September, they know what's about.
- 4:27SPEAKER_01: Carlton on the other hand for moving into my play of the game.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: This is not just a believe and trust.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: Changing coaches over is not easy.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: Playing for wildcard spot ticked off.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: So if you could play for a wild card spot and play for the semifinals, there's a lot to learn.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: Twelve months later, we'll see a one step better and hope to see an improvement.
- 4:52SPEAKER_01: Because she's shown that second half, you Desi did that, and I believe and trust that Cullen did that.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: So I know that for a fact.
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: As I've been doing, I'll be doing like a top three this year, a just a player by player.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna do respectfully, I will be doing each player from each team.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: Like I'm doing, and if you like that, give that down a like.
- 5:17SPEAKER_01: So, and subscribe if you like me to do that continuously in the future for the AFL apprenticeship season into final series.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: So, look, it's a player that shown amaze.
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: You know, he never gives up, and I think he really earns my spot, my play game.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: I'm saying with Carlton.
- 5:37SPEAKER_01: Why Carlton?
- 5:38SPEAKER_01: Because I want to say there's so many players from Geelong.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: No different Carlton, no different Carlton.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: So my play of the game is Jordan Haylet.
- 5:47SPEAKER_01: Include 27 despises, one mark, 11 tackles, 119A for fan santie.
- 5:54SPEAKER_01: We included six scoring bulkins, one goal assist, 353 meters gain, 21 centre bounce attendance with seven clearances.
- 6:02SPEAKER_01: He had five stoppages to two centre clearances, pretty good effort there.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: He had four inside 50s, two rebounds, so and three fours.
- 6:13SPEAKER_01: So he he won the f he got under the ball.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: Well done to the well the star from the Calden Blues midfielder.
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: We have Geelong at it.
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: Like I said, it's no dividend, very hard for Geelong.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: It's the same thing with the with the Cum Blues.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: So wow, I I I I don't know what to say.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: It is one of the hardest decisions I can give to anyone on this team.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: But they are my play of the game.
- 6:41SPEAKER_01: I think deserves a player.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: Now I have Battle Smith and Patrick Dangerfield, but Sean Mann guard from the key forward from Geelong.
- 6:52SPEAKER_01: 25 despisals, four marks, four tackles, one goal, 95 A4 fancy.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: He also included six scoring bombs with a goal assists.
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: He also had a four, sixty-four media same, six clearances from 18 centre bounds attenders and eight inside 50s, two rebounds, four tackles total, one inside 50 tackle, but it was 50-50 centre clearance free and shopping's clearances free.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: So well done, Triselong.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: We'll be showing my will who'll be playing who.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: Let's get to our next game.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: Who is on the next one?
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: Let's find out right now.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: We're saving for the Thursday night game very, very shortly.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: We're going to Saturday afternoon football.
- 7:38SPEAKER_01: We are in Sydney.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: One of the biggest shocks we have seen a 53-point victory to a team.
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: A team that have trust and belief from each player.
- 7:48SPEAKER_01: Stars are not playing, but you don't ever lie on those stars.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: You lie on the team.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: And that's exactly what Sydney do.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: Brisbane, on the other hand, were oh my goodness, oh my goodness, in a big way.
- 7:59SPEAKER_01: This is a lesson learned.
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: Now who they'll be they have the one more chance.
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: Now, can the Rain Printers back to back get back on track and get on the track and see their supporters there?
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: It will be sold out.
- 8:10SPEAKER_01: So I can say right now, this is one of the biggest wins for the Sydney Swans being the Rain Printers having the doa, do and die clash against the betrendy winner of the LA Cross Western Bulldogs will be sharing very soon and my goodness morning and in a shock.
- 8:26SPEAKER_01: So I I'm not disappointment that Brisbane lost.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: It's the way they're disappoints.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: Now, eight gold or nine gold in the finals.
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: Ouch! Yes, the Helmut that the Sydney Swans want it more, they want it more.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: They know how important to come out of this game early.
- 8:46SPEAKER_01: Now, it was all basically over at three-quarter time.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: Basically up to three-quarter time, Sydney had their moment, they had their chances, king five goals two.
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: My apologise, I miss completely understand on the app the timeline.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: Five goals eight to 1310 equals eight goals two.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: So 50 points is about a half from Brisbane, but it was 11 goals seven.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: So 25 points apart at the full-time winning by double the margin.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: 53 points.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: So I know that's like really a lot on saying here, but I think Brisbane will learn this loss.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: Sydney have come off the week off fresh, ready to go.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: Note what they need to do against Brisbane, and they did it fantastically.
- 9:31SPEAKER_01: Dean Hawk's well done on your first finals as head coach in your second year.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: No Chris Fagan in the Brisbane Lions, they'll be ready to go for next week.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: Nothing else I can say about this game, but I'm really thinking that Brisbane will bounce back.
- 9:47SPEAKER_01: They do not go out of doubt that they will bounce back next week.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: So, sound out players.
- 9:54SPEAKER_01: I'm going to share at the moment.
- 9:56SPEAKER_01: Last game between the Geelong Cole, and I really didn't do that because I know that that was a knockout final.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: So coming into the Brisbane Lions, who stand out for this?
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: Zane Zinko, Josh Junckley, well, you know, you got the Will Ascroft when the Ascross brothers were Wills dominated there.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: We got Gerard Berry, he also dominates.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: So there was dominations from the Brisbane stars like Levi, Ascroft, Lockie Neal.
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: Those guys didn't really believe in each other, and not what I mean believe in each other, they didn't really want to win it.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: So, like Logan Morris, he dominated, you know, Eric Cookwood.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: Now these heat forwards are very important for Brisbane.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: For the Sydney Swans, stars stepped up.
- 10:42SPEAKER_01: And in most of like McDonald, you know, Charlie Kruisner, the former blue, stepped up.
- 10:48SPEAKER_01: Maybe one step of winning apprenticeship.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: Well earned there, mate.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: Tom Puckley back in the sign.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: Absolutely showing some class there.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: We had Ellen Gwen, a mono game performance from him.
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: You know, you got Roberts, you know, you got other names I've never heard of.
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: So stepping up when it really matters.
- 11:07SPEAKER_01: So it's very hard to pick from a city.
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: No disrespect for Brisbane as well.
- 11:12SPEAKER_01: It's very hard for both sides.
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: But I'm gonna stick to the Sydney Swans as the second team.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: Look, there's gonna be hard players, gonna have to really step up.
- 11:23SPEAKER_01: But I think this player really did show that.
- 11:26SPEAKER_01: Now he had a really quiet game, but I think he dominated.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: That's Josh Duncley.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: Now, why Josh Duncley?
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: He's a very, very quality player.
- 11:35SPEAKER_01: He is a respectful player.
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: He included 170 disposals with a goal with 24 disposals, six marks, eight tackles, absolutely performance.
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: He unscored four school involvements with a goal assists.
- 11:52SPEAKER_01: 393 meters game, 29 centre bounce attendance.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: Well from centre and stoppages equals one of heat two clearance.
- 12:01SPEAKER_01: So a player that it's well in five times was in sub 50s and two tackles in sub 50s.
- 12:08SPEAKER_01: So he was and two per 1 percentage.
- 12:11SPEAKER_01: So a performance from that he will show what he can do, but for the City Swan can't go past.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: Well, I I can't pick everyone.
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: Same with Swissman.
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay, I have to have my respect.
- 12:23SPEAKER_01: But a player, it's not just winning in the midfield, but passing to a player.
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: Could be a dream come true.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: Six goals, 15 disposals, seven marks from one tackle, 184 fancity.
- 12:37SPEAKER_01: That is Logan McDonald.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: He also includes 10 score involvements.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: No goal assist.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: 365 meters game.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: That's all I'm gonna say.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: 126-15 time on ground.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: So okay and then three at that.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: That was basically the pressure.
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: So the pressure on him, wow, six goals, a bag of goals, and it's the most important thing against a team like Brisbane.
- 13:01SPEAKER_01: Now, Brisbane heads up.
- 13:03SPEAKER_01: Good luck against the winner of the LA Crows and the Western Buddhist.
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: Can't wait for sharing that.
- 13:08SPEAKER_01: But right now, I'm going to be sharing the most important.
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: We're going to our Thursday night.
- 13:14SPEAKER_01: Now that'll be our first game to share.
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: But I'm going to share that right now.
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: Let's go to Octo Stadium.
- 13:19SPEAKER_01: What?
- 13:20SPEAKER_01: Oh, there's words I do not want to say, but I'll say in a respectful matter.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Thursday night football.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Well now that's our third game.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: Reason why I'm mixing it up, because why not?
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: May as well, because I like to share it.
- 13:33SPEAKER_01: In a way that it might be a bit, why am I doing this way?
- 13:37SPEAKER_01: How I'm doing this way, but I have decided to do it this way.
- 13:41SPEAKER_01: Paul Fawn traveled to Optus Stadium in Western Australia.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: Perf per Western Australia, if that makes more sense.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: And the free entry dockers claim top spot.
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: Congratulations.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: Come into this game, have a lot of potential to win in this game.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: I had very much love to see these guys, this team, this club, and the June part of Western Australia to see this team to win a punishment.
- 14:11SPEAKER_01: They have never won a punishment.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: They have first time had this opportunity to go into a home point of final.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: Well, that's now not gonna happen.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: Well, who do Friend and Hawthorne, the winner, takes the week off?
- 14:26SPEAKER_01: Now Sydney does take the week off as well.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: I mean to show you that part.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: So moving into this game, a bit more detail.
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: 32 points in front of a sold out almost 60,000.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: One that maybe the most and friendle season's not done yet.
- 14:42SPEAKER_01: There is plenty of learning.
- 14:44SPEAKER_01: But who are host between Geelong and Carlton?
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: Well, Geelong will be travelling to Western Australia.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Or maybe the MCG in Melbourne.
- 14:54SPEAKER_01: Can't be marble.
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: But that's it, you never know than that.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: But getting into this game a bit more detail.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: Crawford came out of the blocks.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: Game was all over at three-quarter time.
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: I just could not even think Friend to lose, not just be a scoreless quarter, but struggled.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: This is the this is what I'm saying.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter you don't have a week off.
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: Well, I thought the Friend tool supporters be behind the team, nice and loud, and get it.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, that's not meant to happen.
- 15:26SPEAKER_01: Hawthorne, big win.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: And I am congratulations to them.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: I tell you right now, it's gonna be a beauty.
- 15:34SPEAKER_01: I tell you right now, anything can happen.
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: You go to Perth, you bring your best game, you know what they can be.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: And you know how good they have been season 2026.
- 15:45SPEAKER_01: Finish it seasons complete.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: That's the first loss for Friends at home.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: And I tell you, Hawthorne did it.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: They did it.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: Hawthorne can prove they can win and beat anyone.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: In Adelaide.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: In Perth, they've done it.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: They've done it the hard way.
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: And what Friental had more confidence and realise coming off the week.
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: They haven't, even their loss against Carlton, they still have not proved that they can do it.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: I have belief and trust that Friental will have to do the hard way to get to the grand final.
- 16:17SPEAKER_01: And unfortunately, from the second chance, they'll go and take on the winner of the Sydney and Brisbane game.
- 16:25SPEAKER_01: Friental.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: Wow, they will have a second chance.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: Hawthorne, well done.
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: All the Bears enjoy your week off.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: One step away from winning apprenticeship.
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm going to do Friental Dockers.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: The home team.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: This player has absolutely dominated and earns my spot of my player of the game.
- 16:45SPEAKER_01: He may not kick goals.

- 19:49SPEAKER_01: It was a very slow first half.
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: But we had moment where we did our style football.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: We knew how good the dogs come to town.
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: Quarter by quarter.
- 19:58SPEAKER_01: Adelaide came out of the block, three goals one to one goal seven.
- 20:02SPEAKER_01: Lot of them were points.
- 20:04SPEAKER_01: Posters start all over the buff.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: The dogs came.
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: Four goals each.
- 20:09SPEAKER_01: That wasn't enough.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: But something just could not find.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: It was wow factor.
- 20:16SPEAKER_01: Two goals to two behinds.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: That should seal the deal.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: Five goals one.
- 20:21SPEAKER_01: Four goals four.
- 20:22SPEAKER_01: Now, how did the dogs not win that?
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: I have no idea.
- 20:25SPEAKER_01: But 22 points.
- 20:28SPEAKER_01: That's the margin overall.
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: Contest by contest.
- 20:31SPEAKER_01: There's some hard choices from both respect for teams.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: Before I get into detail, I'm going to I mean to share.
- 20:38SPEAKER_01: I do apologise for the Jelan Carlton game.
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: I'm going to share my best players who really did perform.

- 20:47SPEAKER_01: I'd done the Sydney Swans Brisbane game, but I do apologise on those.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: And then the Freddie or Hawthorne game.
- 20:53SPEAKER_01: I was going to share those players.
- 20:56SPEAKER_01: For the dogs, you know, that's I say it's hard to choose over Edge Richards.
- 21:01SPEAKER_01: You know, got Bailey Williams dominated.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: You got you got Cooper Hayes.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: He's my third.

- 22:15SPEAKER_01: I've said it before, but Croats of Ladies of the LA Crows.

- 22:24SPEAKER_01: We know who they are.
- 22:26SPEAKER_01: We'll also share the Geelong and Colton, who I think should be best on ground, and then the LA Crows and the Western Bulldogs.
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: Now we shared them already in a way I've done it, but I might do it again so we can have a reverse memory of that.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: Well, here we are.
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: So the Free Antal Dockers, best players for this game.

- 24:59SPEAKER_01: I may share this, but I just want to refresh your memory of this so we all know who dominate my opinion.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: Now, this is the most important game.
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: The play of the game from each team, I'm gonna share that right now.
- 25:13SPEAKER_01: So my LA Crows winners will share in just a moment for the Western Border.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna give it to Ed Richards.

- 25:51SPEAKER_01: Well done to the Ed Richards and the LA Cro's best.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: I can't go past Isaac Rankin.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: He has had absolutely a season to remember.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: But does it could I give it to Josh Rowan?
- 26:04SPEAKER_01: Absolute domination.
- 26:06SPEAKER_01: It's so hard.
- 26:07SPEAKER_01: The pick a defender, he just never gave up.
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: We had Jordan Dawson from Josh Rowan, I mean to say from that.
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: Wayne Miller.
- 26:15SPEAKER_01: You know, it's so hard.
- 26:17SPEAKER_01: I will say these again.
- 26:18SPEAKER_01: But I am not, don't know what to say.
- 26:21SPEAKER_01: It is one of the hardest choices.

- 27:01SPEAKER_01: Like I mentioned, that's no limit of being my best, but you're gonna have one.
- 27:05SPEAKER_01: But besides Edwards, we had, well, Joel French.
- 27:10SPEAKER_01: He dominated Bailey Williams, the Bond, I think the captain stepped up when it really matters.
- 27:16SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna add Norman and Riley West with, well, let's just say Rory Lobb as well.
- 27:24SPEAKER_01: So well done.
- 27:25SPEAKER_01: Not just the LA Crows to Hawthorne, Geelong, Brisbane, and LA Crows with the Western Bulldogs called in your seasons over quite a making to the second round of the finals.
- 27:38SPEAKER_01: We have two booked in for the two winners.
- 27:42SPEAKER_01: Sydney and Hawthorne will be hosting these finals to Megan to a big dance.
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: So, the interesting fact that we have one Victorian team versus three non-Victorian teams.
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: Let's go to our first semifinal right now.
- 27:59SPEAKER_01: Alright, our time is here.
- 28:03SPEAKER_01: It's time.
- 28:04SPEAKER_01: Our third week of finals, more likely in the past as being our second week.
- 28:11SPEAKER_01: The semi-finals are booked in.
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: They are booked in from Friday and Saturday evenings, not afternoons.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: We have the Friental Dockers and Geelong Cats.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: That's our first semi-final.
- 28:23SPEAKER_01: We are going to do that now.
- 28:25SPEAKER_01: The winner continues on as they will take on the Hall Fournal.
- 28:32SPEAKER_01: Sydney, that's right.
- 28:33SPEAKER_01: The loser is gone.
- 28:35SPEAKER_01: Who should I take?
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: Who should I believe?
- 28:38SPEAKER_01: Who should I trust?
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: The Friend Taldockers.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: I have no clue.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: Now, I'm gonna put this all in one recording.
- 28:45SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna do that right now.
- 28:46SPEAKER_01: But in the first two, the second semi-final.
- 28:48SPEAKER_01: Thoughts and reviews.
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: I do not know.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: But was over or what Geelong trust?
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: Can they kick straight in the West?
- 28:55SPEAKER_01: Can Friental kick well in the West?
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: I think the Friendle Dockers army can trust and believe and knock out Geelong hopes of winning around Prentip and Friental will take.
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: Even their favourites, it does not matter.
- 29:08SPEAKER_01: But I'm sticking to the Friendsville Dockers.
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: Even on Go for Geelong, it should be a good game.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: Second semi-final here on the show.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: The Brisbane Lions have one shot of Punnieship and they take an host on the LA Crows.
- 29:22SPEAKER_01: 12 months ago, LA Crows were hosting Collingwood.
- 29:24SPEAKER_01: Collingwood are now gone for the season.
- 29:27SPEAKER_01: Not shot at all.
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: But they have a gluey to take on the Brisbane Lions.
- 29:32SPEAKER_01: The LA Crows.
- 29:33SPEAKER_01: Now I should be going for the LA Crows.
- 29:35SPEAKER_01: How much that the LA Crows have trust and belief.
- 29:39SPEAKER_01: I trust them and I think we can match Brisbane.
- 29:42SPEAKER_01: If you can beat the best of the best, you know anything can happen.
- 29:45SPEAKER_01: But Adelaide needs to show up pronto early in the game.
- 29:49SPEAKER_01: Now you start well, you're no chance of winning the game by staying the contest.
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: You never know with Brisbane.
- 29:55SPEAKER_01: Their supporters are so strong.
- 29:57SPEAKER_01: And I tell you right now, they'll be a sold-out.
- 30:00SPEAKER_01: This will be sold out.
- 30:01SPEAKER_01: But I am backing up.
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: Now I really I am going I'll go for the closing start, but I think Brisbane's gonna be a slightly better.
- 30:09SPEAKER_01: I think their printership date, Chris Dacon, will not bounce out from a disappointment.
- 30:14SPEAKER_01: If Alan wanted to show up and really give it all and get the win, I will back them.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: But my my tip is Brisbane.
- 30:22SPEAKER_01: Well, I am not that this we'll just go through the pre-final who I think should be playing each other.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: So the second will tag on the first semi-final.
- 30:31SPEAKER_01: The well, I think it will be Sydney and Friant will in Sydney and then Hawthorne and the Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Sydney Grand Final.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm thinking.
- 30:42SPEAKER_01: That's who I'm thinking.
- 30:43SPEAKER_01: Well, that's my restrictions, and that's my thoughts for the semi-finals.
- 30:49SPEAKER_01: A4 Final Series 2026.
