Taylor’s relentless attempt to put words in Hodge’s mouth was met with less than impressive reaction from former champion Hawthorn.

Taylor also tried to mock AFL legend Wayne Carey with the same cheeky gag and received with a big smile from the Kangaroos.
All in a debate over the prime minister’s all-time favorite for the 2020 season when Taylor tried to pressure Hodge and Carey on their decisions to rank the powers of Geelong, Richmond and West Coast ahead of Port Adelaide, in the pecking order. .
AFL: Geelong defender Zach Tuohy was forced to take off and remained sore in the first half. He came back after the break and temporarily cut another shot.
Carey said there’s still a question mark on Port Adelaide compared to the other three clubs.
Taylor replied, “And Port Adelaide, don’t you have them?” Will they finish first?
“Doesn’t rate Port Adelaide. “
An annoying Carey said, “I didn’t say I didn’t notice Port Adelaide, I just said there were three upstairs. “
When the restrictive driving force Hodge joined the conversation, it also cautioned that Richmond, West Coast and Geelong deserved to be noted as the groups to beat this year.
“I’d put Richmond and the West Coast on par with Geelong when it comes to the football I’ve seen,” he said.
“However, as we know, the final won at this time of year. “

Taylor tried the same thing with Hodge, and was not received.
Here’s how it went:
Brian Taylor: So you don’t like Port Adelaide either
Luke Hodge: BT, avoid putting words in my mouth. What I said in this pointArray layout. .
BT: You didn’t mention them.
LH: You told Tom Browne to come closer, I tell you to come closer as I speak. Geelong, West Coast and Richmond are the 3 fit groups right now with the flavor of football that I am seeing right now. Port Adelaide had a very smart season, as did Brisbane, but the high of the last 4 games of the year, BT, is at this point that we will identify who is the most productive team, buddy.
Taylor went on to recommend that Hodge and Carey “respect” Port Adelaide.
“I mean anything now that the two gurus have said something. Port Adelaide is a damn smart team and deserves its first position on the ladder and you can only judge Port Adelaide in the current form. It’s not a long-term way. Current form,” he says.
“Don’t think about the future, think about the present. Right now, Port is the wisest on the scale. Ken Hinkley does a wonderful job.
“Luke Hodge doesn’t respect them. Just have respect for them.
Taylor, before this year, broke up with football journalist Tom Browne as they debated in the AFL about where to play the 2020 Grand Final while Victoria remains stranded.
But last week, Taylor also laughed on live television through Australian sports icon Bruce McAvaney, who laughed at Taylor’s weight amid Carlton’s hard-hitting victory on the Gold Coast in Darwin.

It was all for sure when Taylor discussed the 3 quick-throw targets to Eddie Betts, Harry McKay and Michael Gibbons just before the important break.
“A lot of 3 Bruce. Three goals. Three minutes. Three fifty-way tickets to the Blues, ” said Taylor.
McAvaney responded, “It’s a BT triplet in more ways than one. “
When BT tried to carry the topic of verbal exchange into the photographs of enthusiasts on the slope of TIO Stadium, as shown in the broadcast without giving McAvaney a little affection, the 67-year-old shot him.
McAvaney, giggling, said in mock anguish, “Duck (Wayne Carey), it’s my most productive task for the night and he just made me really happy. “
Taylor temporarily crawled over to his colleague: “No, no. That’s very sweet Bruce. I identified him. The game is too fast, Bruce. “
When the footage of Seven reverted to shots of Carlton enthusiasts sitting on the slope of TIO Stadium in folding picnic chairs, McAvaney saw his chance to retaliate, and he seized it.
“Take a look at the loungers installed in the back,” Taylor said.
“He drives wonderfully. Talk about coming prepared. All other seats for all other Bruce weights. “
McAvaney still couldn’t shoot Taylor’s prominent circular figure.
“Well, you’d be a challenge, so you, ” he said with a smile.
McAvaney explained his reasonable opportunity by saying, “Well, I have a lot of memory. “
Taylor was just hoping Hodge wouldn’t have much memory either.
