  Game Day is upon us at the Gold Coast and over breakfast we discuss what the AFL can learn from the Socceroos loss to Egypt this morning

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Okay, so we're at breakfast on the big day match day. Butterflies. Butterflies. We're just talking about penalty shootouts things as a topic every morning. After so, Martin, you'd like to see penalty shootouts between Carl and Conan.

SPEAKER_01 0:15

There's lots of things we can learn from soccer and apply to AFL. Yeah. On his penalty show, can you imagine grand final days? That would be called That would be fantastic. And then you have to take shots at goal from what, 50 or from 25?

SPEAKER_00 0:33

Yeah, every spot. No, it's 50's too far, I think. 25's or 30, perhaps. It's got to be gettable.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

But I reckon what would make it even better is it's not the it's not the a spot in the middle of the ground. There has to be, there'll be six spots. Right? And then you and you they're around the arc, oh, you know, the third. There's a 30-meter arc now instead of as well as a 50, and you have to kick from different spots on the 30-metre.

SPEAKER_00 0:58

And take like take it in turns. Each kick is from a different spot. You can't choose side to go.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

My long-term goal is to make AFL so complicated. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

That no one understands it. And you can't watch it.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

If you had those around the arc.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Sorry, the normal thing. I think the AFL is doing a fantastic job of that already.

unknown 1:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

There you go. Yes. You were saying around the architect.

SPEAKER_00 1:20

Around the arc. So your shots around the arc. Then you you it because you would open up the opportunity there to do what Hobovich did today and like substitute the goalie weirdly.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

Well, there's no goalie, is there?

SPEAKER_00 1:32

No, but but what you could do is like you you end up with a right footer taking the kick from the wrong pocket because the coach has done some stupid miscalculation and then everybody can complain about that. So you've got to have things where it's like, why did he why did he leave Harry Mackay to kick from the left-hand pocket issue?

SPEAKER_01 1:54

You should be taking Harry off, wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_00 1:58

Who would be your picks for the uh so let's say six?

SPEAKER_01 2:03

I'm allowed to say the word. Oh god. Like Day Cos again. All right, how many is that? How did I guess? Two uh two minutes to two minutes of day the D word. No, uh yeah, so yeah, what else would happen? What about what would happen if um like that stupid decision for the wizard when he when he moved just an inch sideways?

SPEAKER_00 2:25

Yeah. Come off the off the line, not not counted.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

You know what you'd have to have. You'd have to have docks on the ground, then you'd have to have lines from the docks.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Yeah and then VA, you need to have VA. Oh, of course. So then they'll have to carefully measure did he actually go off the line?

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Oh well, who would I have to kick? Uh Nick? Nick, definitely. Uh side bottom. Yes. Oh, absolutely. Um, who else would I have? Billy Frampton, maybe? Fremonship for four. How much worse can it get? Who else would I have? Um, who would Carl have? It can't be a couple of years. I'll tell you who we wouldn't be.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

I'll tell you who we wouldn't. We we'd be able to pick the ones we wouldn't have. We wouldn't have Harry. No way you could have Harry. Can't have um temp. Kent misses every shot. And kicking every shot he should kick, he misses, and every one he doesn't he shouldn't, he gets. McGovern, I would have had that. Oh did we stop? Did we stop? Well no, I think it's still going. Anyway. So you wouldn't have McGovern. Oh, God no. Uh but he's he's got a lot better. So you have to have Wals. Sam Wells. Well see, Walsh, he's he's a bit iffy. He's backwards.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Wells would be like, what do I do with this?

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Crips is hit and miss. Akers, no. Oh, you kind of blackers. Who is our most reliable kick for goal? Maybe you wouldn't have that young guy. Burn. You wouldn't have Byrne. He missed that. Oh, hang on.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

He's leading the Coleman middle for another shoot.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

You should be able to you should be able to bring in players for the penalty shootout. Oh, really? So we could bring back Steve Koernahan. Anyone. Uh anyone. Peter Dagos.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Peter all the Dacos family can take the kicks. Everybody's mum, grandma. Good amount. Anyone could taste. Even like somebody in the crowd. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

Yeah. You could have specialists. You'd have six specialists.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Um come on to that new bike Padasky or Padaski or it's not puncher.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

You're talking about puncher.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Okay. Puncher in a lineup.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

We're looking forward to puncher. He wouldn't be a gold pigon.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

That is the best name for a footballer. Liam puncher. Oh, it's the the bin chickens are out. Jeez. There was one just sitting here the whole time. It's over there now.

SPEAKER_00 5:00

I was saying to you, bin chicken. He just completely ignored me, as you normally do. Until Dacos. Dacos.

SPEAKER_01 5:07

No, it's the Dakos of bin chicken. He's got 35 on his back. His feathers are going in and out a little V on his back. Don't knock the V. Girl Flymey.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Yeah, so uh we've got big day.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

I was just gonna say the Collingwood debutant, Liam Puncher. Imagine if you're running out and you say good luck to your opponent, and he says his name's Liam Puncher.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Mr. Puncher. Is he Liam Puncher or is he a Liam puncher? So he only punches people call Liam He's a Liam puncher.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

He's uh he's uh he's about he's about six five. He's a big dude. Okay. He's only 20 punches a big puncher. Well, speaking of punch, you know how to uh you were in Can you describe to everyone you were in pricked? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Yeah. Accolade. Yeah, no, very famous. I mean, everybody listening to this would have read it, I'm sure. It was in the uh very popular circulation called the Geelong Indy. The Geelong Indie. Uh what does that mean? Um I presume independent. Oh, yes. Uh but uh for an inexplicable reason there was somebody there that writes articles for the long indie at out. Well, it was a 613 tennis match. Oh no. And then, right, that Dominic White punched out the win six two six three in the first rubber. That description. So yeah, I'm puncher as well. I'm a tennis puncher. So is it it's like being a whisperer? Is it like being a horse whisperer or something when you can be a tennis puncher? Surely not. What does punch out actually mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:55

Does that mean you you you just did it very clinically?

SPEAKER_00 6:59

May maybe it's like the old uh the old metro tickets. You know, the the conductor used to punch the balls in the car.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

Yeah. Maybe it's so I reckon it's because you you did it very uh did you hit the ball hard? Did you just wipe that person?

SPEAKER_00 7:14

I did. I did, yeah. You did very hard hit it hard. Modest man is Dominic when he says one of the f my favourite things at the moment is uh playing in this comp uh where I play against people half my age pretty continuously, and I just love to destroy their spirit. Oh do you? I come up against you know, they're 25 or 28 or something, and they come up against a 60-year-old boat, and you can see their eyes light up and go, Oh, this is gonna be easy. And then I just smack them, smack them down, punch them out, destroy them.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Well, you like that.

unknown 7:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

Soul destroyer. You'll you're maybe you're known as the soul destroyer. Soul destroyer.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

Bellerine tennis can you is there a bellarine tennis championship or something? Uh I think the whole thing's run by the Geelong Tennis Association. The GTA. GTA, maybe? That sounds familiar. GTA championship you can play? Probably, but I wouldn't go in it because proper players will go in that. Once you get into the open sections and things, I got lucky if I get a game. So this is just section three, but it is the highest section that our club has. So it's not a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

So you're just happy to destroy the souls of people who are not very good.

SPEAKER_00 8:30

Kids, basically, on their way up, looking forward to a you know, lifetime of tennis enjoyment, and I just smack them. Cunch that right out of them. Yes, my daughter taught me that.

unknown 8:42

Oh, she's not.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

She has told me, yeah. So she she's got the killer instinct. She does. Oh, come on. No, she does. Yeah, yeah, she does. No, I don't believe that.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

It's true. It's true. Is that where you get it from or is that where she gets it from?

SPEAKER_00 8:54

Uh no, I got it from her because I she tells me off all the time, because I feel sorry for people. Like I used to for this season. But I'd be like, you know, they've played hard, they've played well, and they've done really well, and they won the first set, and you know, I'm not sure I could be bothered playing a tie break and third set and all this stuff. So they probably deserve to win. I'll let 'em win. Well, not let 'em win, but I just won't really try and come back. And Jess was disgusted with that. So she's she would fight back from anywhere. Here's one of the great things of tennis. You can win from anywhere at all. You could be six love, six love, five love, and forty love down, you could still win. That's true. Um so it is a weird sport. Uh but yeah, Jess would never give up. So she told me, don't give up. Fight back.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Well now, we have don't turn around, but approaching us. We're sitting in a cafe near the beach. And we're on my left, yes, is a man wearing possibly the best outfit.

unknown 9:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

On the gold coach right now. He's just passing.

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Can I can I look in Oh, is it calling uh colling with the colour? I thought it was going to be Nick Dacos, remember?

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Would he get a motorcoat to the drought? Do you think?

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Uh we did hear a lot of sirens yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

I was just kind of hoping it was Nick or his hair.

SPEAKER_00 10:22

Maybe he went in the marathon this morning.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Or the whatever it was. He's probably good enough to run a marathon at everyone. Get three votes, I reckon. Do you know he's leading? Can I dare you to say it?

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Go on then.

SPEAKER_01 10:33

We think he's leading the what would it be? The in the codhouse brown light? Or what you call that? The virtual brown light. Virtual brown light. What the um in the clockhouse brown low or whatever they call it.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Where the the the leader on the on the ground on the social experts uh yes work out what who would have got the floats, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

But then let's say that what's gonna happen is once they get closer to the end, someone's gonna figure out that he might actually win. And then they'll if you know Matt Rael or something. So three votes for getting seven kicks or something.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

You know, if there's two things I wish for this season. One is that Carl makes the toilet finals. Oh yeah. Uh, and the other one is that Nick Dacos comes second in the breath. Oh. They would both of those would make me equally as happy.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

My only thing is who's gonna beat him this year?

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Well, what about like Dawson and Adelaide? Um Pierce. Uh who's the other um who's the other uh Docker's guy? Dockers are fantastic.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

That was a rhetorical question. Oh, I've got a long list. Long list. You can actually find I wasn't expecting an answer. Cripps? Gumgood. Only in the last month was something.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

What? Do you reckon?

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

Well, what about um who's I can't think of his name? The the great Freo player. Not Pierce, who's great as well. Piers off. Who's leading them? Um do we got on the show? Joxarag's an always. It's an always with an S. Who? Can't it's windy. Windy and cold.
