**SPEAKER_2** (0:06)
Time for some take five, and it's time for the forwards today. They're always a little more clearly defined than midfielders.
**Mark Duffield** (0:12)
Yep. Well, they are when the performances were as great as a couple of these were, with, well, at least one turning back the clock and another one going, I think it was the first St Kilda player to kick two bags of five in, I don't know how long.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:26)
Under Ross Lyon, who would have thought it?
**Mark Duffield** (0:27)
Yeah. So we'll start at the top, number one.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:30)
Josh Ruscelli, reminds me of Seinfeld, that great movie in Seinfeld, Rochelle Ruscelli.
**Mark Duffield** (0:35)
Rochelle Ruscelli, yep.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:36)
A young lady's sensuous journey from Milan to Minsk.
**Mark Duffield** (0:41)
It's amazing you remember the description as well.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
So Josh Ruscelli kicked four, 16 disposals, four tackles, 305 meters gain, nine score involvements, four inside fifties for Adelaide.
**Mark Duffield** (0:51)
Ruscelli Ruscelli, number two.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:53)
Jack Darling, he got a mismatch, made the most of it, four goals, one, 10 disposals, seven marks, a goal assist, seven score involvements, three contested marks. The three contested marks are very important.
**Mark Duffield** (1:04)
And number three, Jesus, someone was on this yesterday, and then he became the rising star nominee.
**SPEAKER_2** (1:08)
Someone who's really clued in was all over this. Jasper Elger.
**Mark Duffield** (1:11)
Finger on the pulse.
**SPEAKER_2** (1:12)
Four goals, one, 10 disposals, six marks, seven score involvements, as brought to you by producer Paul Heath.
**Mark Duffield** (1:18)
Yeah, get around him. Number four.
**SPEAKER_2** (1:20)
Liam Ryan, in career best form almost. What they've done, clever bit of coaching by Ross Lyon. He's done the Jack Gunston trick. Disconnected him from the rest of the team. He's playing long, hovering around the goal square. Opposition teams are wondering what the hell to do about it. Six goals, two, 11 disposals, four marks, four tackles, nine score involvements coming off the back of five against the Sydney Swans.
**Mark Duffield** (1:42)
First St Kilda player in 6,125 days to kick back to back five plus goal bags, replacing Nick Rebolt as the last Saint to do so. Now, Freemount is at the bottom of that list. Waiting for someone to replace Hayden Ballentine, who was the last to kick back to back five plus bag goals.
**SPEAKER_2** (1:57)
There you go. Number five. Number five, Cooper Sharman. I like this guy.
**Mark Duffield** (2:00)
Yeah, he's great.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:01)
I wonder why they're hanging out for... Which is the king?
Max King.
**Mark Duffield** (2:06)
Max King.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:07)
Max King to come back into the team after all his injuries, because this guy goes all right. Cooper Sharman, nine score involvements, nine marks, two contested marks, four goals, two 14 disposals, 292 metres gained.
**Mark Duffield** (2:20)
Did you have any apologies this week?
**SPEAKER_2** (2:21)
Yeah, Job Shanahan.
**Mark Duffield** (2:23)
Oh, Jobie.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:24)
Job Shanahan, who took the nine marks, including five contested marks in his three goals, too, and Logan McDonald went all right as well for Sydney against Port Adelaide, kick three.
**Mark Duffield** (2:34)
Travis says, the stadium that we will be playing, the USA, on Saturday is the home of the Seattle Seahawks and briefly held the record as the noisiest stadium in the world. 137.6 decibels was recorded due to its unique roof design that channels the noise back onto the playing field. When they're usually playing in the NFL, they call their crowd the 12th man.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:54)
The Seattle Seahawks.
**Mark Duffield** (2:55)
Because they're so loud. So usually they'll try to be making play calls and the other team can't hear themselves because the crowd's so loud. So they use that as a bit of a technique against the opposition teams.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:04)
Now, who's going to the footy?
**Mark Duffield** (3:05)
Well, we've got the winners. They are Jamie, Dave, Matt from Bandjup and Graham from Padbury. So you guys don't have to do anything. I'll get in contact with you and grab all your details and we'll get the tickets to you ASAP.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:16)
Should be a big game. Should be, what do you reckon, 55,000 there?
**Mark Duffield** (3:19)
I think you're going to do a margin. Yeah, 55, 55 plus. We've got to have that many there this week for sure.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:25)
Thank you so much for joining us on the show today. We'll be back again with another edition of Mornings with Mark Duffield on SEMWA tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow we are joined by Dr. Sean Gorman for Duff and the Doctor. Always a hoot.
