00:02 - G'day punters, welcome to Head Over Heart,
00:12 Billy Brownless, Daisy Thomas,
00:14 thanks to our friends at Points Bet.
00:16 Oh, we love it.
00:17 Round 21 of AFL footy already, Daisy,
00:19 and guess what it is here at Fox Footy?
00:22 - Four weeks to go?
00:23 - No, ruck round.
00:25 - Ruck round.
00:26 - We acknowledge the big ruckman out there.
00:28 - Yes, we give the big men some love
00:30 because they get tarnished with a pretty rough brush, Bill.
00:32 - Sometimes.
00:33 - Most of the time, and most of the time,
00:34 well, you can understand it
00:35 because they do do some of the oddest things
00:37 you're likely to see on a footy field,
00:38 but this week is celebrating them.
00:40 - Yes, and we wanna know, or I wanna know,
00:43 who is the All Australian Ruckman this year, Daisy?
00:47 - Usually there's a real standout by this time, Bill.
00:50 Max Gawne's coming with a rush,
00:51 but I'm not sure if he will get the job.
00:54 - Righto.
00:54 - Jared Witts of the Gold Coast Suns being very good.
00:56 - Good.
00:57 - Tim English will be certainly putting his hand up
01:00 for that, get it, hand up for that.
01:02 Who do you like?
01:03 - Rowan Marshall's been good at the same.
01:05 He's had a really good, solid year.
01:07 - We do have some good ruckmen when you think about it.
01:08 - But we're going with Tim English.
01:10 You know why?
01:11 - Why?
01:12 - He's in this game here.
01:13 It's the Western Bulldogs taking on Richmond,
01:15 Marvel Stadium, Friday night footy.
01:17 Tim English will be there.
01:19 He'll be tapping it down to the bont and libber,
01:21 and they should win this game.
01:23 Should, should, should.
01:23 - They need to win this one, Bill.
01:24 Eighth spot for them, so if they are to stay in the eight,
01:27 they need to win.
01:28 The Tigers, half a game out in 11th,
01:29 so still a lot to play for.
01:31 It is very tight.
01:32 We'll be interested to see the goal kicking
01:34 of the Western Bulldogs.
01:35 Kick six goals, 10, Bill, to half time down at Mars.
01:38 Ball going everywhere, roof on, no wind,
01:42 have to kick straight, I think they'll be winning.
01:43 - Now I'm with you.
01:44 I think the Western Bulldogs win this one.
01:45 It was a nice little shootout,
01:47 the Richmond-Melbourne game last week,
01:49 and they were there til about the 15 minute mark
01:51 of the last quarter.
01:52 So bad luck there to my friend, Mini, there,
01:55 but the Dogs to win that one.
01:56 12th versus 14th here.
01:58 What a game, Adelaide Oval.
02:00 I like this game, and Adelaide love playing at Adelaide Oval.
02:03 - They certainly do.
02:04 Both of these sides had unbelievable wins, of course.
02:07 Adelaide just flogging Port in the showdown,
02:09 in the Q clash.
02:10 Golko Sun said, "Nine in a row, not so much anymore."
02:14 Got it done comprehensively.
02:16 41 points was the margin.
02:17 Did you see that coming?
02:18 - Oh, no, I did not.
02:19 And I didn't see Ben King kicking five goals.
02:22 So he's back in form.
02:23 Tuk Miller was outstanding.
02:25 Anderson, Raul, that midfield were very, very good,
02:28 but they take on a good midfield at Adelaide there.
02:30 And Jordan Dawson, there's another All-Australian.
02:34 - Smoky for an All-Australian, that's for sure.
02:36 Adelaide- - Smoky Dawson.
02:37 - There you go.
02:38 Adelaide at home, a different side to when they travel.
02:41 We like them.
02:42 $1.43, it's short, but I think they'll be getting it done.
02:45 Not sure about the Golko Suns backing up.
02:47 They're not usually good at that.
02:48 - And Texan at home.
02:49 Left, right, doesn't matter.
02:51 Bang, bang, bang, bang.
02:53 Now, another very interesting game.
02:56 The Battle of the Bridge.
02:57 Greater Western Sydney, they are flying, my friend.
03:00 And Sydney are getting better.
03:01 And of course, no, buddy, we salute you, buddy.
03:04 - Yes, Buddy Franklin won't be there,
03:05 but what a career he has had for the Bloods,
03:07 an absolute star, and the Hawks, of course.
03:09 GWS Giants, Bill, into sixth spot on the ladder.
03:12 They have come from nowhere.
03:13 - Seven in a row.
03:15 - Club record for them, and they are hard, they are tough,
03:17 and they're also exciting.
03:19 They play a good brand of footy.
03:20 The Swans need to, well,
03:22 they were good enough against the Bombers,
03:24 but not overly comprehensive in that one.
03:26 Joel Amati gets his opportunity now.
03:28 We like what we saw from him.
03:30 Think the GWS Giants will be too good in this one.
03:32 - I am with you.
03:33 I like the Giants here.
03:34 Sam Tarlow outstanding down back there.
03:36 Whitfield, Kelly, all those boys in the midfield.
03:39 Toby!
03:40 - The line goes up here at three and a half.
03:42 Of the last eight battles, Bill,
03:44 four have been decided by two points or less.
03:46 - Well, it's gonna be close then.
03:47 - It is.
03:47 - And what about this one?
03:48 This will be close and low scoring, you think.
03:50 St Kilda, take on Carlton.
03:51 - Yes, I'm gonna put my Ross Lyon hat on in this one
03:53 and think that he will just try
03:55 and bore the Blues out of this game.
03:56 If the Blues are allowed to play quick and fast,
03:58 Charlie Kernow will take the game away from the Saints.
04:01 Ross will be sitting there
04:02 trying to get numbers to the contest.
04:04 Lots of throw-ins, lots of ball-ups,
04:05 lots of numbers from behind the footy.
04:07 Low scoring affair, I'm tipping the line.
04:09 Under over goes up at 162 and a half.
04:12 I'd be looking at the unders in this one.
04:14 - Well, even with Charlie up there kicking goals.
04:16 - Well, look at the Blues going all of a sudden.
04:18 - Flying, mate!
04:18 That trip down to Torquay,
04:20 that was a turnaround there.
04:22 So well done, they got together,
04:23 playing good team footy too, my friend.
04:25 - Exciting as well.
04:26 - Exciting as well, apparently.
04:28 Have you downloaded the points bet app?
04:30 - I certainly have.
04:31 You can see if Charlie Kernow is gonna win the Coleman
04:33 in that one in your futures markets.
04:34 There's premiership, there's everything you may need.
04:36 Only takes a minute of your time to download, Bill.
04:39 You have yourself a wonderful weekend and happy punting.
04:41 - Yes.
