• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can't have all games in one round.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's really a bit silly.
• 2:53

  SPEAKER_00: Kildeva and Brisbane for the first one, but now Brisbane and Sydney.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: 2024 Green final we met, and this was at the gather.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Another one that's gotta stay.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And this was not just one of the games of the round, but a second game of the round.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Twilight Football at Brisbane.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Final score 92-90.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Favour to the Sydney Swans.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Last time these two met, Brisbane took the win in a messy victory.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: But Isa Hinging took one of the best marks for nomination.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he was very close to be marked my mark of the year.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: But wow factor that Sydney found a way to be benched on last year's grand finalist.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: From the grand final, last year's grand finalist.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And oh, I gotta say, Brisbane do found where it's good teams do come back hard.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: Then it was Brisbane looking flat in that, and then goal after goal and Brisbane on the end.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Stay hit.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Four goals, five, two, one goal, five.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in regardless, Brisbane should won this game.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Quite comfortably, but certainly had other ways to hold on.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: So that's my third game into.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: We do come.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: And before we get into the next game, ladies and gentlemen, if you like today's show, like down below.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Subscribe if you like the channel, as well, hit that notification bell.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: We're head to west.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: We'll stay round, same round.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is unusual why I've chosen to do this.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: And why have I chosen this game?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there'sn't been some massive one.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: There's a bonus episode game I want to share.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: And that's coming soon.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Which one is it?
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: But we do have to opt a view.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give more and anything, but where was Adelaide that day?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: They looked really, really flat.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: They did not want to show up, they did not want to care less about this game, but they found a way West Coast came to play.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: One of the best games for the year.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: And wow, it was just a well-factored.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Now, anything else with the final score was I think West Coast knew how important this game was and how important for the supporters.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: But LA started well and then it was three goals to nil, four goals to four, so pretty even that order, West Coast still winning, two goals to four.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: So Adelaide really never got down four.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: That was that West Coast were up for six points up to lose by only nine.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: West Coast could come home with their win to really end their home anyway season at home, the final home game for the year.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: But West Coast had other ideas.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: But Adelaide, while they feel full, cost West Coast the victory, big road trip.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I really want to break down how how did LA felt.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: They were under man, they were under pressured, and they did not why.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Why did I chose this game?
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't have all their stars, LA.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: They had players retiring at West Coast, but LA would just want to find a way to win, not just holding on, but not great.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: They did that against North Melbourne a week the last time, the last game, and I really think LA struggled from here.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: They really struggled.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: They were up against Collingwood, and we will share that.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I just want to let you know that is upcoming yet.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: I just walked it.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: When is that?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: We'll let you know.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: But I really think that Adelaide does feel like they lost confidence in the last part of the season.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Win's a win, but can you play final?
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Can you have second chances?
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: LA had all that and they blew it.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: 42 years later, over North Melbourne in the AFL VFL.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: AFL VFL history.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: LA quotes it's the non-Victorian to do that and breaking Wilkinson.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Breaking Wackwood over North Melbourne.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Now, we will now head to round 24.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I I may forward a little bit.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Is that round 23, Adelaide and Cranwood?
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Is that the bonus?
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: We'll find out.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: We do have other two games, which is put Adelaide and Gold Coat.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: That is the next game.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: But we've got one extra game.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: What is that?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: We'll let you all know very, very soon.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is not this emotional.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: This is not just how I'm 40 to 45,000 at Allade over Friday night football.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is the farewell motional of the legend of Travis Boat, 150 Kim Rose, the captain, and farewell, that coach, Kent Hengli, staying there for such a long time.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: And why have I put this in my top five?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: One, two, three, four.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is my fifth.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: So I've chosen some extra games here all.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: And this is technically my fifth and final game, but I have extra games to share.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to share them a bit deeply and include this one.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: So this was not just a farewell for Travis Broke, but the community of South Drive football.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: The legend of play 300 plus hacked in the club and sent off with amazing night at Ala Dover.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: Not just a win, but when you end your career, you sometimes win or lose.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: And this is a game that I have more solid respect for Port Alain right now.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Now, you know, you yes, you farewell the legend of Travis Bow.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: You say goodbye to the head coach.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: Say goodbye to the head coach.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: But you'll never say goodbye to Port Adelaide.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: So it will be there next year.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And hopefully they'll found some talent because they need some talent big time.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: They need to replace players that they can do that.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the partly main reason I chose the game in my fifth play.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now, round 23 and round 24, a mother round 24 game.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now I mentioned the LA Quotes, Corner, and Map Pipe.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: But there's two bonus games I had not yet to release the round 24 game, but we'll share one of those will go next.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm heartbroken to release.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, ladies and gentlemen, we do come in round 24.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: So we have a bit of an idea.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Second, a final game to share.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: And but what a game this was.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: I watch every quarter, every moment, every second.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: And right now, I will share the gutters last game, the Brisbane Light versus Hawthorne Hawke.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I didn't really pay attention too much about this game.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now, why do I chose this game?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Brisbane struggled at home.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Now Hawthorne are winning from the play finals big time.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I tell you right now, Hawthorne could win this game.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: I watched here and there of this game.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: They started well, Hawthorne actually started.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: They kicked six goals to six.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Three months even, three behind overall.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: Then it was the worst game performance from Brisbane.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: You kick eight minus and two goals.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Hawthorne will kick you out with three three.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Then it was three goals, five, three goals, four.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: There you have it.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Brisbane holding on, much better accuracy.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: It was five goals, three goals, four overall, but from the halftime, it was five goals, thirteen to five goals, eight.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Even up, same goals, same cali, only ten minus.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why I chosen this to be in today's show because it's not easy, just not hanging wet or dry on the at Brisbane at the gutter.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: But when you are almost getting take on the best team in the league, you've got to be on your best game.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: And Brisbane, they if you bring pressure to Brisbane, Brisbane had to find a mother way to take over that.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: So I give so much credit to Brisbane over that.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: I give them so much credit.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: And they why they're so good, but they need to work on their goal kicking and hopefully they'll do it the next game.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: But in the show, we do have one more game and absolute spy right from the fact.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Look, they may call for those best parties full pressure, score pressure.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: And you bring that pressure in early, Brisbane won't win big.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: And that's exactly why I changed in.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: And there we are.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: I am now gonna go directly back in time.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Why do we go back in time?
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: Saturday night football.
