There'll be the elevation 50 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: of a deceased legend that's going to break with formality 51 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: and happen at the start of the night, an exalted 52 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: figure from the past. The dynamic of the night is 53 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: those who have previously become members are here to welcome 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: the new breed into the killed, as it were, and 55 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: the sharing of stories and the reliving of highlights which 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: have been beautifully put together. 57 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: So in our. 58 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: Inductees tonight that the Heartland States have represented, there are 59 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: stories that will take us back more than a century. 60 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: And I had to look at the seating plan. If 61 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: you glance around on one table, you will see this 62 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: starting midfield, Andrew McLeod, Chris Jard and Michael Voss, and 63 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: think about how fast they might move the salt and 64 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: pepper shakers. So thereforwards Stephen Kernerhoud and Jonathan Brown. 65 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: That's the sort of night that it is. 66 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: That's the kind of night, kind of table that might 67 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 3: get a little bit rowdy as well, one would think. 68 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: So it is superb when you look around and you 69 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 3: see some of these faces and some familiar faces there 70 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: to be had. And I would imagine for the inductees. 71 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: It's it's enormous, but for their families it's equally as big. 72 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: And you've got the honored job of trying to get 73 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: the most out of these guys. Haworth. 74 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: No, No, it's not, and it's just pointed in the 75 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: right direction to share the essence of your story. You 76 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: mentioned Rowdy, Rick Davies, Robert Dippy, at Amenica and Shane Crawford. 77 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: That might that might have that might have that other 78 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: group covered. 79 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: You know who's on that table. No, Jason Dudstall. 80 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: If he won't get a word it all night, you'll 81 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: be thriving in the middle. Look at these Durmott, the 82 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: Great Man Dermott, Brereton and Rodney Grinches in there. He's 83 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: not coming in. 84 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: Rich Oh and Couder and Flee and Boomer and Bluey 85 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: and Jacko and Goody and Mitch and Plow and Aka 86 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: and Chocko and the Flash. They've all been inducted previously 87 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: and they're all here tonight. 88 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely superb. I literally can't wait to sit back and listen. 89 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: It's going to be outstanding and all covered course on 90 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: Fox Footy.

Corbyn 94 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: Middlemiss is in control tonight. On all the footy that's happening, 95 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: all the news that's happening in footy right now going around. 96 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: Let's get into our agenda, shall we. 97 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: And at the top of it's the Western Bulldogs and 98 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: Luke Beveridge are going to continue on. Already the longest 99 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: serving coach in the club's history, two more years have 100 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: been added through to the end of twenty twenty seven. 101 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm extremely proud. 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: I don't take lightly the responsibility of the position. 103 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: That I'm in and I've never been. 104 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: More enthusiastic and excited by what we can do from 105 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: here on in. We feel like we've established a degree 106 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 4: of stability within the football club that everyone who's worked 107 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 4: with us and now in the new facility and the 108 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: health of the system and the health of the club 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 4: gives us a bit of a warm and fuzzy feeling 110 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: inside and that's a good way to emotionally exist when 111 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: you come into work and the players we believe a 112 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: feeling that way, and so as we move into the future, 113 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 4: there's that sustainability piece of maintaining something but then building 114 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: on it and growing and really pushing towards our next success. 115 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: Club and coach took time to contemplate what it looked 116 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: like together, and I suspect what it looked like a pass. 117 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: And then once they got into the season, I reckon 118 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: two things happened. 119 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: One Lup Beveridge showed that he was. 120 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: Reinventing, he was bringing the next iteration of the Bulldogs 121 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: to life. And two he still had the group absolutely 122 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: and that's been the evidence of what we've seen on field. 123 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: How do you read it. 124 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: We've louded this process. I feel like we've been with 125 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: it from the start of the year and commended them 126 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: with the mature approach to it, where both coach and 127 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: club sat back and said, no, now's not the time. 128 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: And I love that approach. They weren't spooked by anyone, 129 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: including the media, and they said we'll do this at 130 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: our own time. Until such time as they both arrived 131 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: at the same conclusion. I think they held out and 132 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: I reckon that's fair enough too. But there was a 133 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: period there three or four weeks where I think Luke 134 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: worked out that this is a job that he wanted 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: to do, and then when one decides, the pressures on 136 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: the other. I don't know that to be a fact, 137 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: but that's the way I'm routing it. That Luke's sort 138 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 3: of yeah, I'm all in, and then are you coming 139 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: with me? And they said, damn straight, we are. So 140 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 3: we celebrate the two year extension, which puts him in 141 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: rare air as a Western Bulldog, all time great premiership coach. 142 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: Of course, he has his own unique personality that I love. 143 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: I've known him for a long long time. His coaching, 144 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: I think is at the very very sharpest of ends 145 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: and they are absolutely certain they got there right. 146 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: Man. I love it what he does. 147 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: This the legacy piece is really significant and already the 148 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: longest serving coach in the history of the club. He's 149 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: one of only two premiership coaches and on he goes. 150 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes I think with our coaching positions, we're just too 151 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: casual and it's a global phenomenon to treat coaches as transient, 152 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: to tip them out to debate their futures. Here's in 153 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: a handful of the most significant figures in the history 154 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: of that football club. 155 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: No, no question, absolutely no question about that. And now 156 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: he's got the chance to elevate himself even higher over 157 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: the next couple of years if he was able to 158 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: add to the premiership glory that he's had. So there's 159 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: a challenging amongst this too. It's not ridiculous. It's not 160 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: four years, it's not five or six, it's two. So 161 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: I think there's a general cautiousness about the way they 162 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: went about it the club and I think from Luke 163 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 3: as well. But they both can side, hey, we're going 164 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: full bottle for another premiership in the next two years 165 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: and they think they can. 166 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: The counter argument will be you should have run the 167 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: distance and seen where it was going to be. They're 168 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: currently six and six and they are outside the eight now. 169 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: A little bit of that is circumstance, and they they've 170 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: had their one bad loss of the year. The rest 171 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: of it I think has been perfectly fine. Is there 172 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: any legitimacy to you should have seen it through, find 173 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: out whether you're going to make top four, find out 174 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: whether you're going to win a final, and actually improve 175 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: year on you. 176 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: I think there is the argument can be made, and 177 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: I think that was the way that they were looking 178 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: at it, and until such time as they both agreed 179 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: that yes, we want to go on now. If for 180 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: whatever reason it was Luke that held out and said no, no, no, 181 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 3: around fourteen we've lost our last two, I'm not sure 182 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: then I think they would have held off, but I 183 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: think they arrived at the point Jared, now, this will 184 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: be Judgey in time, but they've arrived at the point. 185 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: They've taken their time, and both coach and club have 186 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: arrived at the same point. I think that's a great 187 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: launching pad for the next couple of years. 188 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: And this is the launching pad. So there's six and six. 189 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: At the start of the season, when you looked at 190 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: their fixture, you would have gone just be fifty to 191 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: fifty as you hit the second half of the season. 192 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: Now it's a little disappointing that they're fifty to fifty 193 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 2: because of the footy that they have played, but there's 194 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 2: no excuses not to get on and get moving now. 195 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: And I don't know what the top four machinations are 196 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 2: going to be, but they look like there are places 197 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: up the grabs. 198 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: Get on with it. 199 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: The best footy we've seen from them has been somewhere 200 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: around the best footy there is in the competition, so 201 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: I'm full of optimism. I'm full of admiration for the 202 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 2: way that they've gone about it and sometimes sticking with 203 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: your guy. It pushes against the modern fad to want 204 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: something new, as I like this. 205 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: That's right. It flies in the face of those who 206 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: think there's something better. When you think you've got something 207 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: better in your hand, hold on to him. They were 208 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: massive names out at the start of this season, and 209 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: he coached well to get them and keep them close 210 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: enough to wait for the cavalry to arrive. The last 211 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 3: two loss have been disappointed. They've got a boat called 212 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: Darcy who's about to re enter the fray. And you 213 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 3: look at those full games, you look at who's coming 214 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: back then I think there were some bulldogs. Fans should 215 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: be excited about what's coming. 216 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: All right, the doors are about to open here, so 217 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: we're going to see some action. 218 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: In the background. 219 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 2: It's been a big day of business for the AFL 220 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: with everybody coming together. There were three phases as far 221 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: as I can tell. There was a commission meeting. Then 222 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 2: there was the commission with the president, so none of 223 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: the executive president that which was an interesting distinction. And 224 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: then the executive of the AFL and the Chief Executive 225 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: U tam to get it usually happened. 226 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. 227 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: But and the centerpiece of this is clearly Tasmania. So 228 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: we're waiting on an election date out of Tasmania tonight 229 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: and that's about to be formalized. 230 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: Did they blink No. So here's how I understand it. 231 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: The vocal presidents, of which there are a few, the agitators, 232 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: the saber rattlers, they were going. The deal is the 233 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: deal to which the commission went. The deal is the deal. 234 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: The AFL is not budging from its position. No stadium, 235 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 2: no team. Now whether they should or they shouldn't is 236 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: a different debate. 237 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: But there, whilst a bit agitated with each. 238 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: Other, they're actually all in the furious agreement to see 239 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: it through, at least through the period of political uncertainty, 240 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 2: to see where it lands through in an election. 241 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: So with the election in the offing, a date has 242 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: been said, it's coming, so it'll probably be known later tonight. 243 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: So the message is clear from the AFL and their constituents. 244 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: You can go to an election or we want. We 245 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 3: ain't changing anything. 246 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: So vote on the basis whether you want the stadium 247 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: and the team or not. And then if that goes south, 248 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: then there's the well, are we going to renegotiate or not? 249 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: That is I do conceive that's a conversation for a 250 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: different day. I think we're getting very close to we're 251 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: going to renegotiate or not. 252 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: So does the politic politics Independence and Greens. Are they 253 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: sitting there and saying I know what they're saying, hold 254 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 3: our line here and they will come back to the table. 255 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: So I think everyone will take their position to the election. 256 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: So the Greens who are vigorously opposed, and the set 257 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: of independents and they will hope to regain their seats 258 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: on the basis of being opposed to the stadium. And 259 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: then there will be those who run for it and 260 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: we will get a read from the people of Tasmania. 261 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: There's a lot of assumptions from the mainland made around 262 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 2: what the opinions are. Well, it's actually going to get 263 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: tested at an election. 264 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 3: And the people at Tasmania they've got a chance. They've 265 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: got a chance. 266 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: So the alternate today would have been to come up 267 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: with this team is happening no matter what, and we 268 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: will work with in the varying circumstances that they present 269 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: that hasn't happened. 270 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: It is the deal. Is the deal. 271 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: Well, let's see what unfollows over the next coming rooms. 272 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: The second element was the AFL has given ground on 273 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: the softcap, so there is good yees and this has 274 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: been a concerted campaign from the coaches and the Coaches Association. 275 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: So seven hundred and fifty thousands next year, three hundred 276 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand the. 277 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: Year after, So it ends up being about a twenty. 278 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Million dollar boost. It's come with a couple of caveats 279 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: for clubs who feel. 280 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: Like they can't afford it. 281 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: The AFL has taken that on board and we'll make 282 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: provision around that. 283 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: How do they do that? 284 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: I probably don't know the exact mechanisms of it. But 285 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: for the five or six clubs who didn't think this 286 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: was a good idea because they don't feel like they 287 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: have the money to be able to put into the softcap, 288 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: that I expect will come through through distribution. 289 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: Evid end, Yeah, through the distribution. 290 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 3: So they can paign now outside the cap for their assistance. 291 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: So there's the same as with the senior coach, for 292 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: the senior assistant coach, there's a twenty percent provision made 293 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: and there's an additional marketing component for the senior coaches, 294 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: so as well as the twenty percent. 295 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: There's kind of what it is. It's acknowledging this was 296 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: too low. 297 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: We have heard you, and we are going to take action, 298 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: and it's not piecemeal. 299 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: This actually is a substantial chunk of their money. But 300 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: that's a win. 301 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 3: I mean, they have been strong and when Chris Fagan's 302 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: at the front of the queueho's not a sensationalist. There's 303 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: not a Mark Raaker, he's not a trouble maker. But 304 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 3: when he's been the one who's his passionate as anyone 305 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: driving the charge, then you'll get a result I think 306 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: most times. And this seems to me to be a 307 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 3: pretty good result. 308 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: And while there might have been a push from at 309 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: least one of the broadcasters around having the Grand Finals 310 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: slide a little closer to primetime, that won't be happening. 311 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: It's going to stay at two thirty PM. 312 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: After doing two thirty further foreseeable future, they put a 313 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: time on us for the year, so we'll have this 314 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: debate again. 315 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: Will He's a bit absurd that it takes until June to. 316 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 3: Get ANND Well, can't they say to listen for the 317 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 3: next five is just lock it in the two thirty. 318 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be popular in some quarters and profoundly unpopular, and. 319 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: I know that, But they keep arriving a tooth. 320 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: They do what they do. 321 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: What's the difference? 322 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: So I think once Andrew Dylan on Night one declared 323 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: himself an afternoon Grand Final man, it would be a 324 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: big shift to make on his watch. I suspect it 325 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 2: doesn't happen while he's in charge. The lobbying will continue, Yeah, nonetheless, 326 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: and one day it will move further back toward prime 327 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: time because the basic reality is you get a bigger. 328 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: Audience than the later that it is in the day. 329 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: But we do hold to one of the most cherished 330 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: traditions that the game has. 331 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 3: Well, the tchech's been written regardless, so they can hold 332 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: at eleven o'clock in the morning if they. 333 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Want, all right, the furnace. 334 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: The furnace comes out of yesterday's events at the MCG. 335 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: This is what happens when you invest in a game 336 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: at footy for two hours and it comes down to moments. 337 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 5: I thought, I'm just going to try and kick this 338 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 5: as high as I can to cause the little bit 339 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 5: of chaos and it ended up beanging. There wasn't a 340 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: Melbourn player within twenty. 341 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: O old Max. 342 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: He was terrific in the last quarter, but he's made 343 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: that final kick when off decided his But. 344 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: He's not feeling good about the world. So anything that 345 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: someone else is going to say to you, he's. 346 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: Going to sort of probably rub you up the wrong way. 347 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: I think it says a bit of both of us. 348 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 5: We were both extremely disappointed in that last thirty seconds. I 349 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 5: thought my reaction was really poor. I had a teammateer 350 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 5: showing care. His version of care as we know from 351 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 5: a long history of Stephen. 352 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: May Is, is he strong with his care. 353 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 6: Obviously, both winners, both passionate about winning. Obviously you don't 354 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 6: want to have that look on field, but that's the. 355 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 5: Way they operate. 356 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 6: You know, they're pretty strong with one another and they 357 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 6: move on and they get better. The way I read 358 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 6: that is it not just about what happened at the moment, 359 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 6: that there might have been a build up and that 360 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 6: Max has just had enough of that. 361 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 5: Now I'm here to defend Steve a little bit here. 362 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 5: He's copped it a little bit in the media for 363 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 5: the last twenty four hours. I think if he had 364 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 5: his time again, he might not do it on the 365 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 5: final side and thinking there's a camera there, but that's 366 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 5: him throughout the whole game, that's both of us throughout 367 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 5: the whole game. And unfortunately he's been caught on camera 368 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 5: and I sort of make it a bigger thing by 369 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 5: pushing them away. So I'm slightly disappointed in how it's 370 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 5: played out. 371 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: Have you spoken to either of them about what transpired? 372 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, spoke to both and they're passionate. You know, 373 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 6: it had a little bit of feedback to one another 374 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: and obviously you know that they're talking about it now. 375 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 6: They're fine, they've moved on. 376 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: That's live sport. That's what I love. 377 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: Probably two aspects of this. 378 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: One is the damage control in the public domain while 379 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: everyone debates what they think they saw. The second is 380 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: what this looks like between the two players in the 381 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: locker room, and the second is far more important than 382 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: the first. 383 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the issue is not on Melbourne side here 384 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: because of the fact that they've had a really unsettled 385 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: period of time over the past couple of years. Had 386 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: this been at Geelong, for instance, it's probably lauded as 387 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: the professionalism of a hard nosed outfit. So I accept that. 388 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: So I accept that people have got doubts about culture 389 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: and all that sort of thing. Beyond that, I've got 390 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: no concern in the wide world, Jared. These two bugs 391 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: have sorted out of that. I'm absolutely certain what it 392 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 3: looks to the outside can look to the outside. They 393 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: need to resolve it internally. I thought Max was self 394 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: deprecating and taking some heat out of it this morning, 395 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: like a good leadersh wood and taking a bit of 396 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: the heat and trying to deflect off Stephen May. But 397 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem. This will be resolved. And 398 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: this is a bit of an example of you know, 399 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: he buck say it's a build up, it may possibly 400 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: be to build I think it was a build up 401 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: of the day, and this is the problem. A build 402 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: up of the day is absolutely fine because that's what 403 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 3: sport is. And a build up of six months or 404 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 3: twelve months, that's what they're having to deal with. And 405 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: I don't buy that. I just think it's tough frustration, 406 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: what great look. They need to resolve over the group 407 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: and it will be done and dusted. 408 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: Actually, and Martin turning point here, So I was curious. 409 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: So they have been texting each other back and forth. 410 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: Clearly last night. It's a very modern way as well, 411 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: isn't it. 412 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: Just to thrash it out? And I did, and I 413 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: guess this is the responsibility of captain. 414 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: Now you've lived this. Max absorbs it himself. 415 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: So in the moment, I sort of first reaction this, 416 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: don't go and rub his one mistake for the day 417 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: in his face. Probably wasn't the intention, but that's how 418 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: it looked. But Max goes, no, No, my reaction is poor. 419 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: We've tried to build a culture where the feedback is 420 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 2: instant and it's as aggressive as it needs to be, 421 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: and it's never personal. So all the teams that tell 422 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 2: you they go down this path, it can never be personal. 423 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: And I do I admire Max today, who's gone with it. No, 424 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: this is on me if I don't react poorly. 425 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: This is not a big deal. 426 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 3: It's a very noble way to take heat out of it. Jered. 427 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: I don't know with too many would sympathize with Stephen 428 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 3: on the back of a But I guess what Max 429 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 3: is saying is if Stephen comes up and sees mate 430 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 3: whatever he said and he went there fair enough, then 431 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it. So there 432 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: is an element of truth to it. But because Max 433 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: has been such a warrior and such a lebythan for 434 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: this footy club, then the sympathy is always going to 435 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 3: go to Max, as they should. And he handled it 436 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: like a great leader that he is, and I think 437 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 3: he is a great leader for this. 438 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: It is a heightened environment these days with the intrusion 439 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: of our broadcast, because you've said to me before, is 440 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: the language out on the field is pretty strong. 441 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: I spoke to someone tonight we were getting ready for 442 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: this broadcast who just played in my error and just 443 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 3: shook his head at this and said, can you believe 444 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: the carry on? And because it was a different time, 445 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: And I can tell you if some of the stuff 446 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: that got out back in the day of which I 447 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 3: look at it as a brutal feedback session, would make 448 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 3: your hair cool. So his attitude to me, and he's 449 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: a considered star of this competition, and he just said, 450 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: what is the world coming to him? But these two 451 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: can't disagree at the end of the game, so make 452 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: of it what you will. We are in the modern 453 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: era of footy where everything is dissected to an inch 454 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 3: of its life. There's angles is behind the screen. He's 455 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: come back for a second ago that was part of 456 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: the narrative last night he went again as if he 457 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: punched him in the mouth again. So I understand all that. 458 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 3: I've been in this game long enough. I get all that, 459 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 3: but I'm not concerned as a Melbourne supporter, not concerned 460 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 3: one bit. 461 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 2: I just saw a statement come through from the AFL 462 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: regarding Carlton's handling of their Adam Cherr scenario, and they 463 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 2: are satisfied They've had the medical examination, doctors talking to 464 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: doctors and stepped through the process fully with Carlton. The 465 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: overriding sentiment is the AFL encourages conservative treatment in this moment, 466 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: but they do believe there was never a singular moment 467 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: where it looked. 468 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 3: Like there might have been a concussion well at risk 469 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: in getting thrown out of this event. I couldn't disagree 470 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: with them more and I'll argue this with him until 471 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: the end of time. So no, I don't like it. 472 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 3: I don't like that statement from the AFL in any way, 473 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: shape or form. And as I said earlier, if we 474 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: are taking more time and treating more seriously, a minor 475 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: hamstring strain than a brain injury, then there's something wrong. 476 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, So content with the findings and the actions that 477 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: were taken on the night. So that's a debate that 478 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: will continue to evolve. 479 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: I suspect I still get dinner, hopefully So. 480 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 2: Hall of Baby is coming, the Australian Football Hall of 481 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: Fame inductees, and the elevation of a legend. It is 482 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: all right here on fox Foot tonight, the most intimate 483 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 2: evening of all, a night of nostalgia and revelry to 484 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: honor those who have left their mark on the game. 485 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Coming up shortly
