00:02 - G'day, Puntus.
00:11 Welcome to Head Over Heart.
00:12 Billy Brownlee is here.
00:13 This is Daisy Thomas.
00:15 We're here thanks to our good friends at Pointsbet.
00:17 And Daisy, round 24, we've made it.
00:19 The last home and away round for the year.
00:22 And I've got a question.
00:23 Two questions for you, okay?
00:24 You ready?
00:25 - Yes.
00:26 - The 2023 premiership goes to?
00:29 The Geelong Cats.
00:30 Nah, sucked in.
00:31 You won't be up there again.
00:32 Bad luck to you.
00:33 Bye-bye, Pootie Cats.
00:34 See you later.
00:35 My pies win the flag.
00:36 You'll have to sit there, September Brownlers.
00:38 No thank you.
00:39 - Melbourne or Brisbane Lions for me.
00:41 - Oh, okay.
00:42 - And the Chas Brownlow medal goes to?
00:45 - Nick Dacos.
00:46 - No, Daisy, you can't be like that.
00:48 - Carlton played Collingwood in the grand final.
00:49 Nick Dacos to win the Brownlow.
00:51 How good is this?
00:52 This is like you last year,
00:53 just bathing in your own glory.
00:54 - Yeah.
00:55 - I'm gonna be doing it.
00:56 Who do you think wins the Brownlow?
00:57 - Zach Butters.
00:57 - That would be a nice result.
00:58 I like Zach.
00:59 - That would be a nice result.
01:00 - Hard tough.
01:01 What a player.
01:02 - Oh, good, good player.
01:02 Okay, let's get into the first game.
01:03 It's Hesed and Taney on Collingwood at the MCG,
01:06 Friday night.
01:07 Will there be good crowd for this one?
01:09 'Cause they might've dropped off the Bombers a bit.
01:10 - Nah, well, if the Bombers fans have dropped off,
01:12 the Pies fans certainly haven't.
01:14 They'll be there.
01:14 There'll be a big crowd because, one,
01:16 the Bombers need to respond.
01:17 126 point loss, Bill.
01:20 - I can't believe it.
01:21 - 126.
01:21 - Say it again.
01:22 - That is a genuine, 126.
01:24 A genuine flogging.
01:25 - Yeah.
01:26 - The Pies, well, they have to win
01:27 if they want to secure the top spot and a home final.
01:30 So we expect them to do that.
01:32 Hopefully getting a few back, fingers crossed.
01:34 I don't think they'll be wanting to rest too many
01:36 because, of course, next week's the bye week.
01:38 Couldn't have players going three weeks without playing.
01:40 - Oh, yeah, good.
01:41 I like that.
01:42 And they need a good win so they can just launch
01:44 into the finals.
01:45 That's what it's all about.
01:46 - Will there be a response from the Bombers?
01:47 - Yes, there will be.
01:48 - Has to be.
01:49 - Early.
01:50 - Has to be.
01:51 - Early and then they'll drop off.
01:52 Bombers win this one.
01:52 Don't worry about that.
01:53 - Bombers in an upset.
01:54 - The Magpies, sorry.
01:55 - Might have to get your head red here.
01:57 - Well, Geelong take on the Western Bulldogs.
01:58 - This is why you're confused.
01:59 - I am confused.
02:00 I'm confused about the Cats
02:02 because their last three or four weeks
02:04 have been poor, poor, poor.
02:05 They've had some injuries.
02:06 They've had some good players that are playing and banged up.
02:09 And the Western Bulldogs, what happened to them last week?
02:12 - Well, they lost to the West Coast Eagles.
02:13 - I know.
02:14 - If you can believe that, Bill.
02:15 But your side as well lost to the Saints.
02:17 - So who wins this?
02:18 - Season done.
02:19 Well, there's an inkling that Geelong
02:20 might just be putting a couple out to the paddock earlier.
02:23 So the Traders have wound the Western Bulldogs
02:25 in a couple of points.
02:26 The Western Bulldogs have to win to keep the season alive.
02:28 I think they can do it.
02:30 They've made it hard for themselves.
02:31 A trip down to GMHBA, never easy,
02:34 but come on the Bulldogs, surely.
02:36 - They haven't won down there for a long, long time, Daisy.
02:39 And they might just do it Saturday night.
02:42 And we might just have a spell.
02:44 Sydney, Melbourne, like this game.
02:45 Now I love this game because Sydney are going beautifully.
02:48 We know that.
02:49 They're playing finals.
02:50 Well done to you, Sydney.
02:51 That is a great, great thing to do this year.
02:54 And the Ds are just keep on keeping on.
02:55 They've got a good defense, good midfield.
02:57 They're slowly working out that forward line.
02:59 - Well, if I had told you six weeks ago
03:01 that Geelong wouldn't be playing finals and Sydney would,
03:03 you probably would have locked me up with Nice
03:05 and put me in the home there.
03:06 - Exactly.
03:07 - But not to be the case, the Swans been fantastic,
03:09 as you say, and doing it without Buddy as well.
03:12 So interesting that he just announced the retirement.
03:15 If they go in for another couple of weeks,
03:16 he may have been able to get back with the calf.
03:18 Neither here nor there.
03:19 The party's been terrific.
03:20 Their midfield's hard and tough.
03:21 It's going to have to be though against the Demons
03:23 who are starting to hum.
03:24 Oliver back, got tagged on the weekend,
03:26 but he'll have a big game.
03:27 Petrarca forwarded back.
03:28 The Ds for me is real value here, $2.08.
03:31 Head to head, I like that.
03:32 - It is good value, you're right.
03:34 But I like Sydney.
03:35 They're playing good footy six in a row and again, seven,
03:38 and then they go into the finals
03:39 or they'll be happy with themselves.
03:41 - They've won 11 of 14 against the Ds, Bill.
03:43 - 11 of 14.
03:45 - That's good for you.
03:46 - Wowee.
03:47 And this game here, I love this game here.
03:48 It's the last game of the year, of course, 6-10.
03:50 Marvel Stadium, 6-10 on a Sunday, but a good game.
03:55 Carlton, they are flying your mob
03:57 since you told them they can't win another game.
03:59 And the Giants, gee, they've just come from nowhere.
04:02 Well done to the Giants.
04:03 - Absolutely.
04:04 We hope for the theater that Western Bulldogs do win
04:06 'cause that'll mean the GWS Giants
04:08 have to rely on them beating Carlton in this one.
04:11 Funnily enough, it was the Western Bulldogs
04:14 barracking for Carlton to lose last year.
04:16 Tables have turned, if you know what I mean.
04:18 - GWS Giants will be winning this one.
04:19 Far too good against Essendon.
04:21 126 points.
04:22 They win, they stay in.
04:23 The Blues are playing finals regardless.
04:25 Giants for me.
04:26 - Jesse Hogan will kick how many?
04:27 - Probably 15, 16.
04:29 - (laughs) No, he won't.
04:30 I think Carlton, I like Carlton there, of course.
04:32 And you've been downloaded.
04:33 Your points better?
04:34 - I have, Bill.
04:35 It only takes one minute of your time
04:36 to get access to all those markets
04:37 and anything else you may need.
04:38 Have yourselves a wonderful weekend and happy punting.
04:41 (upbeat music)
