Hello, this is Mary at the Department of Rejected Dreams. If you had a dream rejected, IKEA can make it possible. Hey, I dreamed I'd be ready for college way ahead of time. And now you're way behind.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
Yes, and I have no idea how I'll get it all done on time and in my budget.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
Well, luckily, IKEA has everything you need to make it your space on your budget. And with everything ready to take away from our stores with Click and Collect, it's easier than ever.
That's convenient. Exactly. Get IKEA whenever, wherever, however, at ikea.us. IKEA. Dream the possibilities.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:03)
Yeah, it's our take five this weekend, of course.
The midfielders on Monday. Good crew today, I have to say.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:12)
Could be a Brownlow medalist in this crew.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:16)
Ooh, yes. I would say there's two, well, two contenders. Yeah, definitely.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:25)
Yep.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:26)
All right. Starting with Luke Jackson. So did it all. Three goals, 28 disposals, five marks, nine tackles, 25 hit outs, six clearances, 237 meters gain, five inside fifties, nine score involvements.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
It's got to be three votes. Right, that game.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:44)
Andy Brashor was pretty good.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:45)
He was.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:45)
And that's why he's the second one.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:47)
He's number two.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:47)
Andy Brashor.
Three inside fifties, seven score involvements, six intercept possessions. He's always got that attack-defense balance. Thirty-five disposals, including 16 in the third term, seven tackles, four clearances, 433 meters gained.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:04)
Not bad. Number three.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:05)
Jai Newcombe. So Noah Anderson was actually very good in the Hawthorne Gold Coast game, but Jai Newcombe was the game-breaker. Two goals, 31 disposals, 10 clearances, 586 meters gained. Two goal assists, seven score involvements, five intercept possessions.
Very tough individual.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:24)
Number four.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Marcus Bontempelli. So 15 contested possessions amongst 34 disposals. A goal, and if you haven't seen the goal, do yourself a favor. It is absolute primo deluxe, the goal.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:37)
Thanks, Molly. And number five?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:40)
Sorry, seven tackles as well, and 13 clearances for the Bont. And Jordan Ngoi. In close to career best form for Collingwood. Three goals won, 26 disposals, eight marks, four clearances, 571 meters gained, and eight score involvements.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:54)
A very good win for the Piers. Apologies this week.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:57)
Quite a few. Noah Anderson, as I mentioned earlier. Sam Walsh and George Hewitt, both very good for Carlton in the win over GWS. And Hugo Garcia, who I really like, which makes it even more mystifying why they insist on giving the ball to Nisai Awangani-Millerer every time he's in the same suburb as it.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:17)
Right, so your critique is maybe coming more from your fandom of Hugo, rather than your dislike of how they play football.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:23)
I think Hugo Garcia, every time I see him play, he plays a little bit better. I reckon he's a ripper. And don't get obsessed with giving Naz the ball. Let your other players develop.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:33)
That's a very good one.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:33)
You got some good ones.
