On Scottie and Goss, it's hammer time with Hamish Braceall, West Coast Poly complete tank solutions, tanks for agriculture, residential and industry West Coast Poly.com.au Always like talking footy on a Monday after 7 o'clock with Hamish our Bracearies in the studio, the Royals had a win, swans had a win, so we're all good. We're all happy, we're all good, everything's just rosy right now, we're trying to forget everything else that happened on the way. Haman had a win as well, which is basically your team, they pay you the most as anyhow. They're a good club, the mighty Tigers and good club. Welcome to you first and foremost, Fremantle Outstanding, touched on it this morning already but you know it's tough. They were really good. I played golf with Andrew yesterday and we were speaking about the game and they emptied the clip in the first half, they just said that's what we just poured everything that we had into it, to get ourselves into a position and then what they held on, they didn't press the last quarter but they were in a position where with 10 minutes to go they were only a kick and a bit up and they were able to hold on so they did the work they needed to do and jeez it was a good win. Do they care about any shot they hit yesterday for you, how it would have just gone? I don't care. I couldn't get less of just beating Sydney with one point up. Can you shed some light on the intrigue about his fitness in the lead up to the game? There were some talking out, now post-game it was all about a toe nail coming off and he couldn't run and saw and he set it on air, I think he said I couldn't kick the ball in the last 15 minutes or so. Then there were cameras at training of him running up and down and clearly limping and going to the side now, I don't know whether coaches still play that game and clubs still play that game but was he in doubt going in or was it just a toe? I think it was just that he was crook the week before, I think he had COVID two and a half weeks ago coming off the by and then this toenails, I've had an ingrown toenail, I've ripped a toenail, they're the worst injury ever because you just look like you're such a sulk, you're limping, you're running around, you're not kicking and it's like what is it mate? It's just it is there, the pain, I believe it was just a toe. I haven't really asked him too much more in detail but it's from what I understand it, that's all it was. So they're worse than snapping an ACL? They're shocking. It's a cutter shoulder. You can't say anything, I'm sorry, I can't, I did a pre-season session with a toenail that was infected and ingrown and had to go to the doctor for it. I did one session in pre-season but we had to put my runner on my left foot and a boot on my right foot because the boot was too tight. I was like, I was wearing a runner and a boot, it was unbelievable. The issue is you just cannot say anything. You can't imagine having your name in the eye but racial out ingrown toenail. Alrighty and what about this moment of course because at the end of the game they're up by point Logan McDonald, the Perth boy and we love Logan. We love his old man. He doesn't want to see that vision again though. He went back from 50, he was out a lot further and then he went into some debate with the umpire about swinging around and the umpires don't they get in mind, they're getting your head. They're starting to go, oh don't do you. He's letting get in his head, didn't he? He did. And they don't do that normally in the game. No they don't. So why do they come up to them at the end because they're playing after the siren, blue bar bloke, anyway he didn't hit it at all and Andrew Brayshaw who was the game day captain was pretty happy I reckon. He's going to kick from 52 metres, Logan McDonald comes in, the game on his boot, the drop punch on his way, it won't ever get anywhere near it. It's a shocking kick. They keep it away from the line and free mantle of defeated Sydney in a remarkable game in the F.C.G. Yeah and he's captain. He was. He loved it. He said yesterday he said it was a lot more mentally and physically draining than he thought it would have been for his first time around and I think a lot of the time in the lead up to a game Alex Pearce and JL will sort of lead all the meetings and give all the information and obviously the captain's the conduit of the leadership group. So he would still be in those other meetings but the delivery to the players was all left to JL and Alex Pearce but that was him this weekend so he had to have a lot more meetings with the playing group here to have a lot more discussion. The pre-game meeting, on the ground meeting, the half-time meeting, it was a lot of RAR for him but he just said it's not a whole heap more to think about but he's like there was quite a few extra things that I had to do and he's like it was a bit more mentally draining than otherwise would have thought. They could probably bury you if you got inside your own head. Oh yeah. It's good easily burying. Yeah. But I'd be walking off the ground going just a little bit of a push. Exactly right. That's one from one. One from one. Put me in charge. There's another brochure at 100%. They've done something that only Richard's been able to do which we're still scratching our heads out. That happened. Incredible. You know, we've watched Sydney just kick goal after goal after goal in a real quick spite of time but they just refused to allow Sydney's midfield to get on top at any stage and if they got a bit of momentum they managed to lock it down and make it a 50/50 ball and contest for the whole time. Yeah. They were able to... They were able to clog the corridor up and I think for the first time since 5 had 38 touches or whatever he did that one game, Fife looked good because he had a role and he just locked away Haney and just said, "You know what, I'm not that Fife that I used to be but you're the best midfielder in this time. I'm going to stop you getting the ball and did a great job on that. Josh Draper was really good. All the boys all across the ground, Sydney came back and were within a point but I thought the way that they held on was that all holed up back in the end of the year. Do you subscribe to the theory that just some teams match up better against some teams? Oh yeah, definitely. I was talking about, I always go back long, long time ago when Brisbane were unstoppable, Sydney would always beat them over that early 2000s. Sydney just beat them. No matter where Sydney were in the ladder, they beat Brisbane all the time. Freo was starting to get that. I mean, they went up there last year, one. It's Sydney with a different team this year than we were last year but go up there and do it again. Do you say you subscribe to that? I do subscribe to the fact that. It's some teams just have the wall over you, whether it's a key match up in the forward line on the back line, the mids just work differently. But yeah, they wouldn't say they've got the wall over them but they're starting to get on the trot against the salons. Nothing that would scare you from this point on. Okay, so West Coast Poly complete tank solutions, give us damage, pressure on a Monday. Tanks for agriculture, residential and industry, westcoastpoly.com.au. So what's left in the tank for Freo Man? There's a little bit left. I think top four is well within their grasp now and I think they think the third on the ladder after the weekend, they've got a couple of games that they should win in the next week. But they've got a Hawthorne in Tasmania in law test and so that's going to be a massive game. Sworks are going well. So I think what's left in the tank is a top four is securing top four. I think they can do it. I think they've got the cattle to do it. The win on the weekend should prove to them that they can do whatever they want throughout the back end of the year. So yeah, what's left in the tank for Freo is locking away a top four spot. All righty now. Adam Simpson had this to say after yesterday's 10 goal loss to Hawthorne. Nothing could come out of today. No. I think in every facet from the start to the finish, and the Hawks are really good, you know, transition better than us, cleaner, beaten in the midfield, everything that we tried didn't work. The things we've been chasing from the start of the year, the little things, we're not there until we get consistent at those things. We're going to struggle. So yeah, we're disappointed. I think on paper, the team looked pretty good, but we got a total lesson in work, right? Tada. Mr Tom Cole yesterday after the game and mentioned to Tom, was there any door slamming, wall punching, loud voices, and he wouldn't elaborate. He sort of said, I won't tell you that. Got a feeling it might have pushed the coach and the playing group to the limit yesterday. What they ditched up. Oh, it was poor at that's. I think it's, I mean, it's not the worst they've played in three years. They played a lot worse than that over the past couple of years, but I think the way that the fact that they got, not got good again, because I still don't think they're a great side, but the fact that they've been able to show promise that they've been able to show signs and then they just went so far backwards yesterday, it was just embarrassing how far back they went and they would have been shattered about that. I think they played with relative or near full side for the first time in three years. So there's a, you can say that they haven't gelled. You can say they've brought guys back under done, but the lack of effort, the lack of run, the lack of intent and to lose by 10 goals at home with the best side you've put on the park for 10 with for three years, yeah, that would have, they'd have to have been some real hard conversation. So Scotty, as we spoke earlier about this, we opened our show fully in depth in regards to what West Coast is to start, but you and we, I think we all agree. We gave three past marks. We gave Barris and McGovern. Yep. And we gave you a pass by simple factors, what he's been dealing with. Yeah, and I throw in Allen as well, he's missed a lot of foot, he played his one first game and then the second game is often the hardest part of that. So I've given him a pass by two. I'm not even being critical of Jake Waterman because I think delivery to him was terrible, but he still could have done more. I don't think there's anyone else. And I said earlier that there was not one, and this is a massive thing to say. There was not one passage of play, not even a passage of play or a moment in a game where Simma would have gone great. Yeah. I'm not surprised. I hate it when supporters leave early, but they had nothing to stay for. Yeah, it was, it was just horrible. I mean, Gavin TB were very good, and without them, they lose by 150 points. They were just, they're, I think they're the best two key defending duo in the competition, and they just, they take into set marks, they, like, gov was, TB was taking into set marks and playing on to try and generate ball movement. And they just had nothing. They'd get it in their hands. They didn't get a lot of the ball, but just couldn't kick the ball. It's usually a beautiful kick of the football butcher of the footy. They all sort of kicking out on the full, turning the ball over in bad spots, handballing into a bloke in a worse position. They just looked, they looked a minute off every time they were to do anything yesterday, and it was, yeah. So what's left in the tank for them going forward? What can they achieve for this season, and what's it going to prove to anyone that they're on the right track? They're not on the right track. They've got the wrong list. They've got the wrong coach. Where is this focus going to be? I don't know. At the start of the year, I thought they would win no more than two games. They've surprised everyone by winning with the way they have at the start. I think they have jumped the gun on where people thought they were at, and I think the inclusion of Harley has brought the list along, and everyone's sort of gained that youthful energy from him. But you can't hold on to that forever. You can't just let one player, especially an eight-year-old, nine-year-old, drive your list. And I think for them to have anything left in the tank, which I don't think they do, they're going to need to, these losses need to go. They need to be competitive every week at home no matter what. And then you can sort of take a few five, six, seven-year-old losses on the ride, but it has to be at home. It's got to be competitive. Well, they play Melbourne this week. Yeah. Well, they've touched them. They touched them up before. They touched Melbourne up. Melbourne are bad. I've said... They're pretty good on the weekend. They're in that bad. They were in a winning position. Yeah. I'm not sold on Brisbane either though. I'm not sold on... Oh, I am. Oh, yeah. They come back. Yeah. I'm not sold on Essendon. It's not on anyone really. So, you've got down to three. Have you got a down? So, is it... You're grumpy when you don't play. Yeah, I know. Freemantle can't win the flag, can they? I think Freemantle's best football can challenge for a premiership. Really? I think they can get... Yeah. I think at the moment... That's good. I've got my... I've got a down to four at the moment. Who you got? I've got... Sydney are going to be hard to beat. Cartner are going to be very hard to beat. I think Collingwood is still as... It's freer. And freer, yeah. Wow. Wow. Two weeks ago. Yeah, it was. Yeah, but he's an expert. He comes and he wants to work. Oh, you've got... Oh, nice. Nice. Nice roast stuff out with him. He'll eat it, hopefully. Something sticks. Hello to our socials out there. Go with a great man. Hey, I sort of touched on this with Scotty and I said, "I was going to elaborate when you came in the studio." Yeah. So, yesterday, post-game. And this is... It's not a criticism of West Coast in general terms because I think they put up a number of players post-game, which there's an obligation to, win-lose or draw. Yep. And Cole, I think Alex Witherdon did something, I think Brady Hough did something on a show that you did. Yeah, post-game is seven. We'll play that in a moment. Had a little rise to fame, that young fella. Hey, we'll get to that in a minute. But I'm going to... I raised this with Scotty very briefly. It's all very well to throw out the reliable media performers. Yeah. And they put out the same blokes. We've been gifted the same, predominantly not the same, but a core group. Yeah. And we sort of half-joke about who are they going to give us this week. It's a bit of a running gag. I was going to be Tom Cole, Alex Witherdon, Petra Shelley, Jayden Hunt on a win, Brady Hough. Yeah. So, they're all my dime a dozen blokes. Yeah. And they speak well and hats off to the Eagles. And you fellas. As part of the learning curve of a young man's career, Harley Reid should have spoken yesterday or should speak today or tomorrow. Harley Reid is only ever going to speak, is this right, that he's only ever going to speak one when he has a dominant performance or two, they win well. He has to, as part of his learning process, and now's the time. Yeah. Now's the time. Not next year. I'll give him a diet year to settle down. He doesn't need a year to settle down. It's Harley Reid. He should be speaking about losing like that. To say what it was like out there, what his performance was like, what it was like out on the ground, commending those who played well, talking about the, in a sanctum a little bit. I think, and this is not a criticism of West Coast not throwing him up. They probably haven't even thought about it. They're probably protecting him. I do go in protection. You know they want to. And I get, and I get that too, but I just think if I sat back and went, how is he going to learn that part of his, out of his footy caper, that that is for me part of the learning curve, dealing with losing when everything you do is lauded? Yeah. And he played, like he tried, he got his most contested possessions. He wasn't clean. Either he looked absolutely, not distracted, I think he looked preoccupied with the wrong things yesterday, he wanted to be physical and there's too many times now when something doesn't go his way. He's looking at the umpire with his hands out. Because you know, you know, the holding the ball rule, that's got him, he's got to stop that. But that's got him. But he didn't play for a couple of weeks. So he was trying to adjust that holding the ball rule, he came in while he was away. And he's the prime, he's the prime example of why that rule is in. And he's going to get pinged more often than not, because one, he takes on the player, he goes for the fend off, he instigates the contact. But now the umpires are going to penalise him more than anybody, because he's the type of player that gets it and they gang tackle. That rules the shambles. That's the one we said, you know, when that rule came in, I said that people like Harley Red will suffer. Patty Crips will suffer. He's adjusted already. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's done okay. And those sort of players that take it on, where they're not in any stage, they're not in control. They're getting rid of people and they're getting off, but you're right, they're going to get... Yeah, he's going to be reaping. Oh, I agree with you. I think he should have... I think it's a really important thing for a player to learn to be able to sort of speak at any stage of win-loser draw, and no matter how the club's going, and for him, and for West Coast fans, I think the club would be worried that he'd be that he's young and he might say something that you probably shouldn't say professionally after a big loss like that. But I think the fans would be looking... If you honestly just let him get up there and speak, "Hey mate, everyone thinks you're the greatest player that we've got, there's all this attention on you, how did you feel in what was probably the worst loss for you guys this year?" And he fumbles around and says, "Oh, it was weird, I didn't know what to think." Correct. I was a bit worried about this, that, and the other, and all, but at the end of the day, I came off and, "Oh geez, we were bad." If he said something like that, and it was just fumbling around like an 18-year-old kid, they would have been like, "Actually, that's... I'd take that..." Raw innocence. That would have been Raw innocence. Raw innocence. And you'd take that rather than Tom Cole getting up there and saying the script that he's had been saying for the last five years. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I love that. He's no doubt out of here, he's a competitive beast. Yeah. And I reckon he would have just got up and gone. No, that was crap. Yeah. He would have, and he would have owned himself. And you know what? And every supporter who was there, who would have been like, "Yeah, this one right now, would have gone." Yeah. Because the pushback is Scotty Wright, because the pushback on socials and the pushback on radio station talkback is, "Stop rolling out the same." Stop rolling out that junk where we're over here in it. Yeah. But you're honest. Tom Cole was honest with us post-gamma. We'd give Tom a lot of credit. He spoke really well. He was hurting. He was pretty candid the way he spoke about the group. But I just think as part of the, and look, West Coast, and I know West Coast listened to this show. And Gary Stocks listens, he's the head of media and a Stockshire and I are good mates. Bottom line, I think Stockshire will take it on board that I think moving forward, after a loss, it is important not to put out just the same place. Put out players and we appreciate that. Do not get that wrong. That's not a criticism. What I'm saying is, Harley Reid eventually can't just be talking about everything that's good in life, because that's not going to happen. All right. You did the show. You did with Mark Redding some Ben Cousins post for the game. The game. It was live here upstairs. Yeah, we were. It did really well. It was good. Thank you. You went down to a young reporter who's just starting out, I think he's from GWN initially, and his name is Locky Byrne, and he was live with Brady Hoff, or, well, he didn't think he was live. He was someone's got a telling me he was live. There he goes, Locky. He's been very good all year. He's still learning the lives, but he's been exceptional. He's been Brady Hoff. Thanks, boys. Brady Hoff, thanks for your time. It seemed like we, uh, seemed to, uh, don't, don't, don't, we, again, so I had to talk to me, uh, and right, just, go, go, go, go. Thanks, boys. It's Brady Hoff, thanks for your time. There's Locky going his stuff with Brady, now we're in life. We think there might have been a, uh, bombing there somewhere, but Locky's going to rise to fun. There's no doubt about that. And that's a great way to, that's a great way to start. Oh yeah, it is. Nice work to, to lock in all the very best. If you're going to make an impact as a kid, you might as well. Now, but you walked in this morning and you were sitting there. Oh, did you have any hit piece in yesterday? Uh, yeah. Did you hear him? Yeah, I heard it. Yeah. Did you all go, did you? You heard it and you could say it. It shows up on the TV where in front, and we all just sort of sit there. Oh, he's doing a pre-recall. Ah, well, good night. What did Benny do? Benny just, because he doesn't have the hit piece in because he just falls with it and he just. Charles just needs to walk in, pet him on the bank and say, "Don't worry, that's nothing." Yeah, exactly. Good luck to Lockyburn anyway, it was a good viewing. So, sitting here on top two games, Cleat, Carlton, Fremantle, Essendon, are they just a falseness? I think they are. I just, I can't see them. I don't know why they're good. I don't know why they're one so many. What's their percentage? Less than 100 now. No, no. Yeah, you can't be. That's not a good side. And that's the problem with Hawthorne at the moment. Again, we touched on it. So, Jollong. Well, I mean, they'd be decent, didn't mind you. At home. They'd be playing with her on the skids. I know, but now they play Hawthorne down there. It's going to be again a huge game. Oh, yeah. Huge game. Collinwood. It's a loss. They didn't need it. Didn't they? Didn't need it. No. Port Adelaide. Have a listen to Ken Hinkley post game with Sarah Jones on Fox. Ken, how are you feeling? Pretty hard. Who in a tough way? Great boys. Great boys. I really liked the fact that we were under the pump and we just stuck that out. It wasn't easy, but we got there in the end. And sometimes it feels like a bit like last year now, but I've got over that emotional little bit, sometimes we're two points from fourth. It felt like we're on the bottom of the ladder and I get why. I really appreciate the fact that we've been playing poorly, but we're doing our best to keep it right. All right. So that was pretty honest. That was a pretty honest statement. I loved it. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was really good. They're just, they go hard at him. Oh, yeah. They go so hard at him. And he's right. They are two points out of fourth. There are also two points out of 14th, but they... It's a good point. They just go hard for Ken no matter what. And it's... Yeah. He rides the waves hard. He obviously got emotional after the game, which I thought was really good. But, oh, yeah, they got to win and they tried. He's the first outsider they've had at Port Power. So obviously Jack Cowell revered and loved by all their Mark Williams revered and loved Port Adelaide man. Yep. Magpies man. His old man, Fosse, was Port Adelaide Realty. He promised comes in after that inaugural member of Port Adelaide, Best and Fair or something. And then they're bringing a Victorian. I swear that has something to do with the mentality of some supported outsider. He's not... They have an exception. They haven't accepted him yet, but he's been there a long, long time. Until he wins a flag, they don't accept you at Port Adelaide. Yeah. Well, he's not going to win a flag there. They're not going to win a flag on the Ken Hinkley. Oh, he's ready to get rid of him then, Tim. Yep. Okay. They're not going to win if that's the standard, then he's not going to be a premiership coach yesterday. So they might as well make a move. But he's... There's good coaches out there that don't win flags or not going to win. We can't see them winning flags. I'm probably going to increase one of them. Chris Fagan's possibly another one. Had he got real close? I see. Ross Lyons, another one. Good coach, can't get it done. How's he surviving? Well... How is he surviving, to be honest? How is he not surviving the absolute furnace that he's Melbourne? Because he's one people over. Because he stepped into the media, didn't he? And that media core group, in particular, in a radio station, are in protective mode. They... That's your mob. Do you remember when Sydney were playing disgustingly ugly football in the mid-2000s? Yes. And when after... Andrew, to meet you, went after the club. Yeah, went after the club, and did. But they won a flag out of that, and almost won two. But this is as disgusting a footballer watch. If there's any other option, than watching a St Kilda game at the moment, I'll go close. Poor Dad, I didn't kick a goal in my last quarter, Scott, and still won the game. Yeah. And it was only a two-goal margin, it was three-quarter time. Yeah, that's bad. Rather, whole punch, agates, than watching. I'll be honest with you. Alrighty, hey, just for the tipping, for the tipping. I'm on 88. Hayes is on 86. Scotty on 79. Well done, Scotty. And... Hammer... Hammer got... You got... Four. So you're on 77. So you're officially now last. That's alright. But Hayes got... Hayes got... Six. That's a pretty good FBA. Pretty good score. Hey, so boys, while we've got you in the studio, and we do this for West Coast Poly, of course, Complete Tense Solutions, Tense for Agriculture, Residential Industry, West Coast Poly.com.au. East Perth had a good win. We touched on it at the very start. Yes, we did. You hang on. Yeah. What happened? Well, we were 40 points up, and we won my break. It seems to be common at the moment. Was there a few issues there? Lost leadership. Too much celebration, partying, that type of stuff I see on socials, you know? No, not enough. I don't think. I don't know what happened. We just got a complacent, went defensive, and just played every time there was a decision to be made. We panicked and made the wrong one. So, a bit annoying, but hey, four points, four points. Bet you won, and... Period. Peel dropped a game, which is massive. Survey are coming here. Survey are coming here. We got them this week. Shocking to the door. Where's that guy being played? Probably Sullivan logistic. Oh, neutral. Yeah, they're neutral. Fair enough. Funny nibs, Lee, too. But it's still a good win. You're still won the game. We did. So, your boys? Yeah. They're flying. They're just... Look, we're just going on the radar. We're struggling with... No, you're not. We're absolutely in our own. No, no, just five. Just going about our business, just hanging on by a thread. Really? All right. Real underdog sort of stuff. So, Hammer, we've got you in the studio, and these are not watertight tips from you, but you do normally like to go early with your tips. I like to go bang, and I will stick by it no matter what us out. All righty. Calling at MCG Friday night against the bottom. Calling at Belton. Messing in a no good. Bell and Marvel hosting the Gold Coast Suns who continue to be good at home and a horrible life. Yep. This will be the Suns first win away from home because North Melbourne are a rabble. Suns go bang. I love it. Port Adelaide. You've got to keep that tone. Yeah, I will. I will. Yeah. You are in a mood. Port Adelaide v Bulldogs in Adelaide. Kennel go home crying. The dogs will get it done. Wow. Geelong. At GMHBA Stadium, Dan Andrew Stadium against Hawthorne. I don't think Geelong are very good. They've got old players that don't know how to run, and Hawthorne are young, fit and firing. Hawks will get it done. All righty. Carlton are travelling to Angie Stadium to take on the Giants who were one of the port teams of the weekend. Yeah. They were horrible. I do love the GWS Giants. There is an orange tsunami, but it's not coming this weekend. The Carlton Blues will bring their surfboards and ride the wave home. Should I? We bother getting too deep in regards to the Saturday night fixture on the Saturday night stage. Fremantle Richmond. Yep. Richmond will not win that game. No, we'll lose that convincingly to the mighty doctors. All righty. Let's get to Sunday. The Eagles, the MCG. I think both teams are pretty bad, but West Coast were the worst of the two. I will go Melbourne to win at the G. Sydney. Can they rebound and beat some killer at Marvel? I think they will rebound more than just rebound. They will get their own high bounce ball and throw it into a trampoline. They're going to jump over a building and beat Sydney by Marvel. Beats and kill it by 100 points. Double bounce from the triple bounce, yep. And Brisbane. Yeah. Brisbane, Oxford. West Coast Poly, complete tank solutions, tanks for agriculture and residential and industry. West Coast Poly.com.au. Off to work you go. Look at them in. That's nine from nine there. Done. We'll do it even yesterday. We'll do it even yesterday. He's working. He's got nobs on it. He said. He's got any gas, heavy pressure. Every Monday for West Coast Poly, complete tank solutions.
