Joe PignataroHOST
We're also going to recap what was a terrific awards night.
Joe PignataroHOST
Gemma Bastiani has been working feverishly in the last couple of days while I've been hiding in a bunker.
Joe PignataroHOST
In fact, I've been hiding in the shadows of a couple of players over the weekend.
Joe PignataroHOST
As I say hello and welcome to you, Gemma Bastiani.
Gemma BastianiHOST
A great couple of days for yourself.
Gemma BastianiHOST
I thought you were going to say I've been working feverishly while you've just had a fever.
JonoHOST
This is the team to do it against
LiamHOST
... listening to, um, Gemma Bastiani and Sarah Black today, doing their little, uh, AFL daily, AFLW daily podcast preview of the weekend, made specific mention of a conversation between, um, Weston-Turner and Croc about her inability to break into that defense.
LiamHOST
"So we're gonna put you, swing you forward in the VFLW-

Okay

made specific mention of a conversation between Western Turner and Croc about her inability to break into that defence.
LiamHOST
So we're going to swing you forward in the VFLW and see what we can do.
Joe PignataroHOST
We're here all thanks to 4 and 20, the great Australian taste throughout the great Australian month of September, that is the finals.
Joe PignataroHOST
And Gemma Bastiani is here.
Joe PignataroHOST
Hello and welcome to you, Gem.
Joe PignataroHOST
Hey, buddy.
Alex DonnellyHOST
There is no setup.
Alex DonnellyHOST
And Gemma Bastiani said this on the AFLW show.
Alex DonnellyHOST
I know Kate McCarthy was critical and a few others were too.
Alex DonnellyHOST
It's like watching state league footy.
Joe PignataroHOST
We are here in our finals bunker, all thanks to 4 and 20.
Joe PignataroHOST
As I say hello and welcome to Gemma Bastiani who had a lovely day at Windy Hill on Saturday.
Joe PignataroHOST
Nearly every Essendon fan in the local area came out to Windy Hill to cheer on the Bombers, Gem, as they made it seven wins in a row.
Gemma BastianiHOST
You're saying it sarcastically, but I genuinely did have a lovely day.
Joe PignataroHOST
Hello everyone and welcome to State of Play, the official podcast of the Smithies VFL and VFLW.
Joe PignataroHOST
The wildcard round is run and done in the VFL and for the VFLW we head to the final home and away round and there's only one person I want to hang out with on this very early Tuesday morning on State of Play in our new cave for the finals and that is Gemma Bastiani.
Joe PignataroHOST
Hello Gemma.
Gemma BastianiHOST
It's definitely Tuesday morning.
Joe PignataroHOST
Could not see me at all.
Joe PignataroHOST
Could not see me.
Joe PignataroHOST
These people think, who at the ABC's hired a shadow while Gemma Bastiani is up doing the special comments?
Gemma BastianiHOST
No, it's made me really happy because now Joel Peterson, our good friend.
LiamHOST
With, with the fact that not only is, not only is Jordy Allen back, but it's the fact that Kalinda Howarth, who's roomily playing off halfback is back, as well as Maisie Nankivell, who was comfortably the best looking defender that I saw in any of the practice matches until she did her knee.
LiamHOST
Um, and, you know, hearing, uh, hearing word from, uh, from Sarah Black and Gemma Bastiani that multiple people at Collingwood have said that Maisie Nankivell was the best defender on their team.
LiamHOST
Um-
JonoHOST
Well, uh, as a question then, uh, Nankivell is very, very cheap.
LiamHOST
Uh, Geelong coming unchanged, which is fascinating given the loss.
LiamHOST
Um, there was a little bit of news coming out of, uh, Sarah Black and Gemma Bastiani about, uh, Mick Stene's desire to hold the defensive group together, even if Nicola Stephens was healthy to play this week, so that they could action what had been discussed in the post-match of the North Melbourne loss, and a pretty bad North Melbourne loss as well.
JonoHOST
Yeah.
LiamHOST
So whilst it might seem wild, you know, most teams that come in unchanged have usually won, and won well the week before.
20 MINS LATER
JonoHOST
I think, I think they're played very differently, those two teams.
LiamHOST
Oh, like, okay, it's, it's, mm, with, with the fact that not only is, not only is Jordi Allen back, but it's the fact that Kalinda Howarth, who's rumored to be playing off halfback is back, as well as Maisie Nankivell, who was comfortably the best looking defender that I saw in any of the practice matches until she did her knee.
LiamHOST
Um, and, you know, hearing, uh, hearing word from, uh, from Sarah Black and Gemma Bastiani that multiple people at Collingwood have said that Maisie Nankivell was the best defender on their team.
LiamHOST
Um-
