#35 - Finals Preview Week 1 

Matty is such a great mind of the game. Surprised he isn't more involved with coaching.

Love listening to Matty Johns knowledge and analysis of the game

Isn’t the sharks edge Coops spoke about the best defensive edge in the comp? Brailey also has a 96-97% tackle efficiency

i love Matty when he is being his natural funny self but it’s really refreshing hearing him talk actual footy without any of the gags going on, he has a really high footy IQ that gets lost in the fox persona

Really like the format of the show where yous both picked a side and had excellent talking points for both sides As a knights fan you hit the nail on the head with that "kaylyn is the cherry on top not the cake" chat Matty, great yarn men well done Go the knights 🔴🔵

Would love more commentary on fox from Matty. Obviously plenty on his plate but his expert comments during the game are the best out there

Please leave your suggestions for Footy related content that you would want to see in the future 😊

love this best footy podcast since the ones he used to do with kenty and blocker would love to hear the boys talk more footy like iconic games and stuff like that

Cooper, “We’ll go through the middle.” Every single time.

I want to say can we have this for all the finals games coming up? Love the way Matty (and Coop) breakdown teams against teams, could start next weeks episode off with a few play breakdowns and key moments from this weekends finals games?

Ohh coops, you said munny will be rested after having the game against the cowboys off… he played that one 🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside, absolutely loved this content, matty you’re a wizard when it comes to breaking down the game and where teams should attack. Loved it boys.

Dad's right about the Bulldogs. The intelligence of the GM of Football, as well as the Coach and the Captain of this side will have a plan similar to Matty's. And Critta's ability to step up in the games he WANTS to win. In the final 20 minutes of last year's grand final - Nathan didn't turn that game - Stephen Crichton did from centre and then Nathan took it on, as number 7 and captain. (Why were they behind ? Nathan.) The Bulldogs v Raiders game in front of a full house at Belmore, Critta's opening try and the roar of the crowd. His run from right centre across to left centre, caught the ball and passes to the winning try scorer. As Captain he WANTED to win that particular game.

Great episode guys and enjoyed the concept of highlighting key players, strengths and weaknesses and ultimately sharing thoughts on where it will be won or lost. Am a recent subscriber and have enjoyed the latest episodes with Madge and Ciro... Keep up the impressive work, would love to interviews with former greats of the game (coaches, players and officials possibly). Would also think it would be fun to have the fans be able to contribute some questions / topics for discussion. Great stuff lads.

I like this debate format for finals. Knights v cowboys has me stumped. Have they both just played their GF last round or just warming up?

Everyone reverts back to 'No Hynes/Trindall' in that Rd 10 game. No Hughes/Coates/Paps either and then Sharks levelled up right on HT after Grant got put in the bin for the most laughable binning of the year.

Would love to know how andrew and matty went against each other when they were younger in the backyard as kids was joey already so gifted or was matty a better player in the backyard always thought about how they grew up playing against each other in the backyard
