welcome to another episode of ankles saw and our preview of finals week three better known as preliminary final weekend while you're watching this video go ahead and hit the like button and also comment down below we'd love to hear your thoughts on our thoughts gentlemen it's the best weekend of the year it is it's the preliminary weekend pure footballers weekend or whatever and crowd because act support As It Go a grand finals half corporates please which is unfortunate yeah and it's two big finals going yeah that's right uh okay let's get started I I actually want to say something before we start what would you like to say I might have to read this it's a statement uh no no you know you know the Bible what is it Luke 3 what you know Austin 31644 um so this is not a statement he's done something wrong or Richard goer chairman the AFL M chairman of quantis why is it that come finals time they hike up the prices of flights four times ridiculous yet yet you cannot sell your finals ticket for more than 10% of what you bought it for yeah because it doesn't doesn't benefit Richard Gord in the AFL that's right what a scumbag seriously an AB scumbag 100% it's it's a it's disgusting you need to step down from the AFL and quantis immediately cuz you destroying football yeah an absolute Jew of a human being who do you think he pocket wouldn't you know what couldn't tell you five things about the game no he wouldn't have a clue all he does is stand up on brownl Knight you know seen him throughout the year stands up on Brown Knight and talks like he's known the brownle winner mate what about Gil mlen who's out every week like M get him to do who are you Richard seriously totally agree get out of this country literally you're you're skidmark on this country man it's disgusting he he's a bad human being call the freak call theway and as for the Australian government do something about it why why the AFL go on I can't do that there's a law against that but yet quantis from $200 return or $300 1600 correct ah really look they do it for Grand Prix weekend and they do it for Melbourne cup weekend as well they do for school holidays it's not petrol Hang on we're not going by the price of barel the barrel of oil I agree however and I agree I shouldn't be doing it for all that but if you're the chairman of the AFL on quantis shouldn't you have some saying let's look after the AFL fans like okay he's looking after his pocket mate yeah but they should be right of course okay you want to you want to gouge Grand Prix you've got nothing to do with it it's bad they shouldn't be doing it I agree but to do it when you're the chairman of the AFL and you're chairman of Bing the hand that feed Jo absolutely disgusting and anyway the reason I bring this up so heavily is my m is actually gone to Brisbane for the game for the game they got tickets didn't want to bring little Andrew along sorry Andrew you have to stay home I didn't want to go no I didn't want to go I didn't want to go I I just TV's a better not I just it's one of those things you know if you're going with probably a group of friends maybe you would but it's not just that it's just so you're saying it's we're watching it with you was it just priv uh when is it 5:00 no private what do you mean a private sing would you have G to if it was North absolutely I would have tried yeah 1600 bucks to go a lot of money that's what I'm trying to say I would have driven I know people can't not everyone can drive did your mom so your mom got tickets yeah they they got some cheap so quantis released a handful it was just luck it was luck she kept checking and I think it was like 700 return which is still ridiculous for that's ridiculous yeah I heard people two grand oh yeah 1600 on on it's just it's disgusting what say for the game I don't know I yeah I'm not sure but there is a way around it but it'll never happen and that's for the AFL supporter to just say you know what we're going to boycott yeah but it's hard to it'll never support your Club you know you want do you want do it and I because imagine if that was to happen a if no one drives for a week or no one bu and put a complete ban I agree or a boycott through all that I AG 100% of what you said we spent too much time on that scumbag by the way I know I know and it's 5 minutes in and we haven't even got so let's get started let's talk about prop preliminary final footy and we've got some memories of good preliminary finals haven't we all of us all of us have there's been some good ones 99 I'll take this one if you like because I mean he's going to take carton is of course this is yours first preliminary final is Conwood gws at the MCG Friday night 7:50 p.m. I tell you what I said col's going to win the flag right and I'll probably still stand by that but I'll tell you what if they if gwsb calling it on Sat on Friday night switch your phone off I'll tell you what you every person's going to there's people at work at laughed at me jws won't even get close if they make the Grand Final and you know if K make the Grand Final anything can happen on Grand final day we all know that's right anyway I think collingwood's going to be too good for them I think they jws can stay with him running white run you know spread and all that they can stay with him I think coling would in the clinch is are just that little bit better and the MCG suits him and I think the week's rest I know some sometimes the week's rest can hurt you nah they've traveled I think coling would just be just fresher 10 points two goals I think they'll give R for their money won't be forone what do you think of that he can't lose he can't lose he can't lose can't lose he's got a grand finalist he's got the grand whether he's got the win we don't know he's got I totally agree still think it now still thinks it now I totally agree with you I really do everything you said I agree um I can't add to that I just kind of would just um if jws win would you be staggered no no no no no no I'd be a little bit surprised surprised I'd be surprised but um be surprised yeah be surprised if gws one yeah a little Bitz they're bless Collingwood that Taylor Adams got injured he's out yeah that's a huge that's AOS just comes in he's slow as they will eat him upws what is it'sa honey yeah it's in between honey honey thicker Michael syrup thick thick M that's why the slow is tricker cuz it just slow right okay let Bowie let Bo learn learn something um it's like massis yeah that's in my mind I thinking is that theyed to put that in Mr Ed's mouth so he that's why yeah yeah M explain fun he the funniest thing he's done all year you're re I want to put molasses in your mouth and see youth we should do it if if Collingwood loses a grand final put molasses in his mouth right no doubt if you like it and comment down below if we should put molasses in what does it taste like first I think it's licorice isn't it is it a licorish taste yeah probably I don't know let us know I can't remember I think it's a licorish taste they put in Mr Red's mouth that's brilliant anyway how did you even know that I read it somewhere maybe told you I don't know I do something I used to watch that show like religious that's how his mouth moved but anyway I love talking horses I think I think Conwood by 15 points um and yeah gee it's a real tough one I don't I think JW Jesus yeah I just think okay I'm going to ask you a question or both of you does gws's forline trouble calling with backline very much so okay so they move around the lot they're very mobile very mile about Hogan and ricardi and then you green so more will take Hogan you would think but but more will sort of will be higher won't he yeah well so who has down there Murphy yeah Murphy and qu or my boy oh no I think they match up all right I think gws match up all right with them but I think Collingwood are quite capable of holding them but Toby green is elusive that that kid I don't like say something I don't like qu can go to him yeah true I I don't like Doos in like I like that he's in but he's missed a lot of play the pressure that's what I'm saying like yeah I don't who'll be right you got to play him don't get me wrong I'm not saying don't play him but get what I just don't like that in a big game like this like this is it right I know they're going to literally when you have to play for 6 weeks there's nothing like game get it game time right yeah they're going to they're going to run over Callingwood like I'm worried about pendlebury I'm worried about so botm Taylor Adam's out great for coling good I think slower player I'm just worried about their leg Pace honestly I you know well leg Pace not speed on the ball but leg Pace both both both I think K do move the ball they move it welled but but the leg speed yeah the leg speed worries me don't you think Collin would use the ball better not in the last running into an open goal the other night yeah that was bad what about that kick but what I'm saying yeah I mean that happens but I'm saying generally generally I think Colin would use the ball better uh yeah I just just just is it it's actually tighter than what I originally would have thought or is it the fact that it's a preliminary final and you just automatically think okay the four best sides are there yeah it's going to be very contest I I'll pose this question to both of you if gws win can they win the flag yeah absolutely why why not oh mate I'll be a genius why not out that's a big call um also genius I also think jws is backline easily takes care of or can take care of collingwood's forward line collingwood's for line is a bit L supect very verus halfbacks they're all yeah what's his name is uden does he play noodles brown brown goes all right yeah back yeah but they've got Buckley uh Taylor Taylor Taylor's a premier defender in is he is he up there with the Tom Stewart and the Darcy malls of the world he has to be yeah is now and wering wws supporter that's my yeah over if North fall over he's a big Land of the Giants this is the this is the group tsunami orange team um I think they can win honestly pressure again pressures on Collingwood here right no pressure onw I agree there's no there's no um don't expect there's no expectation over line by go against Melbourne yeah yeah great doesn't matter it doesn't matter how how you winning these it's just move on to the next week jeez pressure is on I'm going to give you one player and I know you don't rate him anymore you know I don't think you ever raided him but this B here in a game like this not saying you'll get 30 touches in the clinches mate Callum Ward I'm telling you he's that type of footballer that will chip in and kick two goals or the type of footballer that will open up for the others and you go M you didn't get a lot of the ball but look at all the things and you know this better than us mate you were a coach he does things on a football field for me like I watch him I raate him the axe the sacrificial axe so so that's where they when he's you remember sorry I interrupted you the preliminary final they lost to the dogs his first quarter and a half was exceptional he went down with was it a concussion or did heion did he do his knee he might have done his knee maybe can't remember his first 40 minutes he was tremendous the reason I know they lost my kick that Soul Big L he's H and soul I didn't know he was 34 yeah he doesn't play like a 34y old he was at the dogs say you know years but you're probably right cuz he's got two more games in him I think he's he'll probably retire maybe probably he's got nothing underrated very underrated retires kidding me yeah yeah he's played almost 300 games that's massive so Caron H Caron Collingwood thoughts no can't win JW no no they can't of course they can win yeah they can no chance no I'm not going to get in no I'm not I'm not coping that in the comments n look I'm not coping it I'm scared that's why I just said pcture for it now I just keep saying on the fence yeah I will be I'm safe I got one of the grand finals wrapped up that's it your home I think jws win and not by much it's going to be a struggle it's going to be a great game I get it but G that's a bad finish for Callingwood season it isim anyway but in the context of the Season you can lose a preliminary final like gw's lose you go well what a performance would lose but what do you say the the ramifications yeah I asked you guys last week what are the ramifications of Carlton losing versus Melbourne and we were saying well Carlton's had a crack yeah they get beat week to but if melbour was massive big it's big so this one's the same having said that I think Collingwood last year were ahead of their time making the py final and I think I think now there I don't even I don't even know if they're there yet year yeah yeah absolutely that's what I'm saying so I don't know if it's a yeah finish on top of the letter and everything but I think is not by default I'm not saying they're no good but I'm just saying like there's a lot of ordinary sides this year so I think so I think they sort of took an extra step when they probably shouldn't have right I know but you can't yeah I know you're you got give credit with credits do no I'm just saying that's what I think I still think next year and the year after they growing like is 19 years old years old so in in the wash up what are you saying gws much will win a handful Five Points Collingwood between 10 and 15 that's I said Collingwood 10 15 points I'm with you and they got mccreary's Mom coming down so oh well then they'll be inspired by her it was two from two last week so Z from two enough I got four from four week one I think we all did cuz all the favorites got up it was pretty easy I reckon $850 anyway Saturday Gaba 5:15 PM second preliminary final Brisbane Lions versus Calton Calon Calon Calon what have you got for us Cal I hate to say it don't do this you're gonna it's gonna explode the comments it's okay I don't think Caron can win I just think the injuries mate but they can bring in com Martin mcco M yeah but um you could bring back um Dow they won't though you saying that the players today they was saying on Sports Fox Sports the players sorry they're all going to play we just overtaken they're going to play but do they get through the game yeah I know what you mean like you've only got one sub right if two are out that's hard are you saying Melbourne cup 3,200 M and then 2400 can they go the full They Go the Distance not that they absolutely because yeah it's a good song um because I'll tell you one thing what carton's got up their sleeve is's a guy called Charlie Kel who has had zero influence zero right and he's playing on a very lazy defender in Harris I said that and don't forget Jackson Payne today pulled injured right he's out yeah big loss well he's in pain yeah I think so out he's he's a good Defender but he's a lazy Defender Harris Andrews and if Charlie can get on his bike and run him around look out like they can win if that happens do you think M should play cuz there's a lot of got play got to play he has to play as a decoy though I don't think he like don't no up the ground M you know he takes those marks up the ground and then he can get it up there to the forwards get will get it down to the smaller boys there but having said that either needs they need to play 50 me apart yeah that's true Swap and whatever Looking Back Now and H were all Champions at it if MC was playing Friday night I think Caron would have comfortably won that game because it would have relieved l or would have had to have g m maai plays High Kono might have had a little bit more not uncontested footy but one-on-one foot instead of the crash and Bash but this is a thing it's Bri M like it's you've got M your you got Martin who's a goal kicker it's going to help it's not going to hurt mlop mop yeah he kicked two R fog goes for Martin doesn't he or no no okay keep fog Kennedy yeah I said gr Ken going to go personally Kennedy was okay yeah he was okay Martin and M you can't play man can you have okay he's another question can you have Martin and mlop yeah absolutely okay yeah you can have pittet though even though he was okay there the night so you've got to get with one so he'll come from mot surely I would do that I'm also a bit suspect and I said to you marchbank I'm a bit suspect about no he's got to play for me I think they should so who misses out so Kennedy is a given Kennedy throw some names then what are your thoughts my thoughts I think o is on shaky o and and are very shaky I would have thought Cunningham before o keep who keep keep o the only cuz he's a goal that's the only reason why Always he's got a little bit of kick goal it's hard to kick goals in finals right so get a chance he's scoring I guarantee you it won't be I I think C have to kick 15 to win really during the damn BR kick degrees kick 15 C they won't winon kick 15 yeah they can't they're not winning kicking 11 goals against Brisbane at the gabber they're just not well if kton kicks 11 they win they win that game staged well what's the weather in Brisbane what's theather and at 5:00 why 5:00 carton to come back to Melbourne but play Ear a seven day break yeah so play early but then it's in the heat more over there n that's a good move all the preliminary Final on a set they have been Twilight in the last four or five years yeah okay calling with Sydney last year was Twilight on the Saturday night Richmond jws was a Twilight that big that big final let's go on the other side say hipwood Dan who's a small Fords what's his name Cameron Cameron M uh who's the other one McCarthy Bailey Bailey yeah Z Bailey it's C cover all them that's what I mean that's the key I think they can to me that's the key so wering goes to Dan in my opinion yeah so MCG km I'd rather camp and then McGavin gets relieved as The Intercept the little bles are a bit dangerous for me they've got a few there's four of them rard Cameron but geez that defense has stood up Nick Newman's been Sensational it has um docky again if he can stand up sad he's been pretty good like I like that about Caron I like their defense who will go to Cameron I reing Kemp might have a crack Kemp or or no I don't think km's quick enough would it be given who C he's 6'5 mate we're talking I think he's too fore I think he's too that's what I mean like but do you get you know do you sort of not flood their forward line but just get get in their way of bit you know you have to I think I think they've got to it's a battle of the Midfield they got to win the Midfield batt they can can win that and they can and that's it wi that battle probably wins probably scores Freer C's defense is El lead offet it there pretty good like numbers wise yeah but their defense is pretty and P's lost like they've lost if he do play yeah it's a massive loss when the ball's in dispute when I say in dispute like around the ground if if Brisbane get that ball like even Beyond CA in their backside back half yeah back half yeah backside back half you know what I mean you can't leave you can't let Den her run out that ball of course true what I'm saying is because if he's one on one I know where a gun but he's big they know he's got that big if he gets a one-on-one and and they Direct Brisbane and he can get his hands on it this where comes in trouble in my opinion but that's all also on the back of Midfield and pressure and I I think Crips and Walsh Walsh can do that absolutely they can they the biggest Midfield on the ground not much Zoro but Neil it's a good it's going to be a dley yeah is the other one but I'm not going to leave the C support as high and dry cuz I'm going to say a few things right Caron in 99 no chance their last preliminary fin was the year 2000 I think yeah but 99 no chance against that's right I remember that game VI that's right jws Conwood 2018 uh 2017 no chance that's true one Western Bulldogs gws Western Bulldogs no chance one so there's a chance I'm not saying there's no chance if there was no injuries I'd be going Kon can win this I just don't think they can I think it's not so much the injuries you're just saying that I don't think it's injuries either it's been like is that what you're saying no I'm not cing fatigue what injuries no well Akers and and docky they like Akens has been tremendous they're going to play yeah they're going to play so your fear is caners and me play with a broken to down had zero influence like I'm not I'm just not sure I know I know what you mean do you know what I mean like I'm you like a clean run at it rather I'm not confident having injured players going got to play right you got to oh you do it's your only shot but you know you win again and what happens in the grand finals that they continue on that again and we talking about that the character I mean how far can it take you you know I'm just not sure it can take him that extra step and this is where the week off after prary final would help a team like carton if they to but it's a tough task up there to start with and but having said that the pressure is on brisbee of course it's on bris there's no pressure that's right that's right from where they were to where they are now they can lose I don't want them to lose but they can lose and I'd be happy with the year like I'd say Well done well they could reset three steps forwarding a disaster reset for next year the back of what you don't want they're in the top four yeah what you don't want is they go there and it's 18 goals to eight yeah that a that defeats a lot of purpose and you just look back and go what is that I'd like to lose you agree oh yeah go down fighting I'd like to go down my point go we sh will been whacked like that months if they lose 15 goals to 11 or 12 you just go make that that's fine but the only loss was a nothing game in around 24 yeah yeah what I'm saying you agree no I don't think it you'd be cut if they lose 98 to 85 you'd be fuming You' be 607 a l but at the opposition is brisman capable of doing that against C what rip him out of the water they can get a hold of you I don't know they did against gone I know what you mean cuz you know what happens with them they get their that little bit of moment I know look I piig gzen to win the flag but really I did you know that I've been taking them for six weeks but the game doesn't C's going okay yeah so who wins do I have to make it yeah we going to make's the winner I don't want to hear that rubbish be no he's right it's going to be a good weekend has a chance yeah absolutely I won't say they have a chance who wins the football match and by how much I think BR I'm going carton I think C because they in the middle can match 51% they only need 51% and brisman goes 49% and they can score at the other end margin 10 point eight points who we going you and me I'll go last against that BRD hasn't lost a game with The Gap yeah it's irrelevant to me honestly Carlton 15 points wow that's is it comfortable that's comfortable I think they win yeah I think that that I'm just thinking about thatby too good around the ground yeah that's what I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm not going because I'm just going on sheer my thoughts tactically I think Caron can break even in the Midfield Y and I think and this is probably what you agree I think Caron can score defense is I think C's defense is strong totally hence my 15 Point C margin you're excited by hearing that aren't you just when you said bris defense is is a bit suspect little suspect I just automatically thought of p and I thought okay if that's suspect they're in trouble so I've had a good thing about it like I've had a chance so have I so have I it be like this arms length I think K will get a start on him right and I don't think Brisbane will be able to when I say a start not eight goals they might get that five golfs to two starting the first quar you know like out of the blocks you know that's and then I think and I think brisban would grind him but I think car the C of today the C of today will be able to manufacture the hold on to win the game I think a good start and hold it on the back of that I think Caron like I said in the other episode cartton were good against mbour and Sydney when they were not in their moment window alligator blood they were staying cool they were like notice I didn't make harsh decisions on the ball at the end of the each game that was close and both times they didn't make harsh decisions on the ball they held their ground they had a look man look what happened yep so for me and the game I keep saying the game doesn't lie I know brz's in good form but C's in good form too I think I think you know the irony that um the Brisbane Lions are training at Michael Vos field field today is a bit is a bit weird exactly did you know that what was that prism's training at Michael V yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I saw that well you know what I'm going cting too there you go blue boys in the Grand Final did the start gws Grand fin cing take Collingwood so would I but I wow call yeah all right as long as make it I'm happy so Blu by n points you are not working Saturday night that night if play the oh M all right uh let's talk about footy around the traps obviously local footy well there's one to go local footy in the edfl one play K is that the big one looks like they've been the team to beat all year undefeated uh MC M vfl footy whereby are playing Gold Coast at princess Park in the vfl I don't know I can't tell you a winner there I don't know what do you think uh goast gone right but where be 15L players yeah F again I to it is you're right you're right it's tough and what about your boys your your women your North Melbourne women w at least Corner top of the ladder in the women's I got something to smile at just a just a quick recap on the women's this last week so North came from three goals oh 20 points down zip they I think they were zero at half time 22 to2 or something it was and they kicked the last four goals to win when did they finish that game it started at five halftime score isn't it 22 to 31 Jesus it's a low scoring Affair just some of the other games I'll tell you what talking about scores La kicked 81 against ESS 34 that's a high score in Melbourne kicked 83 against Bullock 41 let's be honest the scores are getting better 48 to 56 Port beats and kilder C score 77 to 24 West CO C what about Brisbane and Sydney 8732 yeah that's what I said I must say and can I just say one thing quickly about that the standard has improved improved immensely temp4 for me yeah y not that I've watched it religiously but over the years but just watching bits and pieces and watching it now way better but yeah look um it's it's it's interesting to see how the scores have improved I think the might Kangas are on top top of the ladder look at the Grand Final oh yeah for sure it's it's good to have I think the time slots are good as far as not time but the time of the year I think it's a right time perfect time not like started in January Remember December and it got lost like with the got lost everyone's worried about their men's AFL teams going forward like in J summer people going away now at least it's started and people go oh we're going all right and I'll take a bit of Interest yeah anyway there you have it our preview of preliminary final week let us know in the comments who you think wins and we'll see you in the next one go Blues
