Transcript

00:00 Hi there, Xavier Mardling from the Board of Mail, joined by footy guru Brent Goodie.

00:05 Burls, the day is here, the top 25 of the Talanguda League.

00:09 How did you find the process?

00:11 Was it a difficult one?

00:12 And what was the criteria for naming your top 25?

00:16 Well, the criteria is quite simple.

00:18 It's just what you've done on the field this year.

00:21 There's a lot of players out running around with big reputations.

00:25 There were a few injuries that they couldn't show their best, but it's just what you've

00:30 done.

00:31 Okay, now obviously it was a thrilling final series.

00:34 The Swans coming from the elimination final to go back to back.

00:39 A lot of big name players there.

00:43 Gaza Cooper, number one.

00:45 Was that an easy decision?

00:47 Well, it's like the old bull versus the young bull.

00:51 You weigh it up, and after agonizing over it for a while, I went the young bull.

00:59 He's won two best and fairest of children.

01:01 He's beating players the caliber of Scotty Meyer.

01:04 I'd have voted for you, Scotty, me old team mate.

01:10 They call him Gaz, and what separates him from the rest of the midfields in the competition

01:16 is just his ability to go forward and have such a big impact.

01:20 And just how tough he is at the contest.

01:23 He's not a big bloke.

01:24 He just goes hard and stronger overhead, and classy finisher.

01:29 Obviously you'll be able to read from one to 25, but I was a question on everyone's

01:33 lips.

01:34 Who was 26?

01:35 26 is Cade Surry.

01:39 Last year, he would have been in the top three players in the comp.

01:43 Broke his scaphoid around round nine.

01:46 Come back for finals.

01:47 Went okay, probably didn't have the impact he liked.

01:51 And Beechworth, all of a sudden, out in straight sets.

01:55 Okay, thank you mate.

01:59 We love your feedback.

02:00 Any feedback, send it all to Burles.

02:02 And stay tuned, we'll have the Hume League for you next week.

02:06 It's only opinion though, and everyone's got one.
