1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Well, it happens every Mad Monday where a club, an

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: AFL club goes out on the party, let the hair down.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: But it seems and it's always a different club every

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: year doing something stupid on Mad Monday that makes controversy.

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: Matthew Richardson calling for footy club leadership groups to tick

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: off on Mad Monday outfits before the event to ensure

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: they're not offensive. This is after GWS at their postseason

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: function took along a sex dole and some facing suspension

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: as a result of skits performed in racy outfits. I

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: don't know if they're ever going to learn. Is Graham

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Corn's on the line, Graham Cornsy, good morning.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: Going back. It never happened in our days. I don't

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: know where this Mad Monday came from.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you guys do back in the day?

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Just go to the pub? Did you even do that

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: on a Monday?

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: I think that Monday was about as far as when

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: the guys get together. But even that most guys had

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: to go to work, so it was I can't remember

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: anything ridiculous happening. But I look at this every year

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: like you, and I'm like, sure, our listeners, you look

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: at evening and you just scratch your head. I mean,

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: there's a grown man, what on earth they thinking that?

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: And like some of the costumes are funny, but some

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: are just was stupid really really, I mean laughable. But

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: this thing with g w S, I'm a little bit

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: conflicted because you know, I'm sure if we were there

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: and they came to our house and you would think, oh,

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: that's not cool, you know, that's that's inappropriate. But at

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: the same time they were they weren't out in public,

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: they had a private room. And who's who's to judge

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: somebody's sense of humor?

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: To be quite fank, yeah, because yeah, sure it happens

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: every year though, and you know generally was not the

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: same club, not the same people.

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Every year there's there's a Mad Monday controversy. Is there

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: an attitude that says we're going to ask permission, will

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: beg forgiveness.

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: I'm sure they start out with good intentions. I heard

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: Chad say before the before Mad Monday they didn't want

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: to see him port Adelaide guys on social media or

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: come up in any controversy. I'm sure they start out

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: with good intentions to loy what hasn't fun and their

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: clubs must lay down the Lord. They wouldn't be doing

45
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: their job if they didn't get the least the leadership

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: group together and say, now, look, mad mondays, either we

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: don't do it, or if you do what you do

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: it you deal with taste and you you know, you

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: make sure there's no controversy. A little bit like Toby.

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Toby the Captain's fining twenty thousand dollars for showing a

51
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: lack of leadership, that seems pretty harshened to be, and

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: to be suspended for poor taste. Joe's basically what it is.

53
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: It seems very harsh. Now I'm not I'm not defending

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: what they did, but it just seems to me to

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: be really heavy handed. The Gers and so many other

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: clubs have got away with similar things and probably worse things.

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the AFL Integrity Commission involved now, and so

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: that is, you know, just another layer of complexity and

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: all this that that certainly didn't exist back in your day.

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: No he didn't, but I mean, obviously the integrity unit

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: is looking for things to depend, to penalize and punish.

62
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: So look, the simple, the simple solution is, we don't

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: do mad mondays, you know, we just what's what's the point?

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes they're clever, sometimes you might it's amusing,

65
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: But just get them on a bus and take them somewhere.

66
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: And if they're going to drink to excess, they do

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: that and someone can look after them. But for heaven's sake,

68
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: keep out of the public eye and avoid controversy. Now

69
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: it's just we don't know that the facts, just little tippets,

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: yeah out.

71
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: But when you look at some of the performances, the

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: sketch sean did he coombs?

73
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Pe?

74
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Did he will trade? Center towers? This is allegations in

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: the TiSER today and you think, you know, don't don't

76
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: you have a sense for what is tasteful and what

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: is not?

78
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Well, I think so finally we'll get what and why

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: would you have the twin towers when there's so much devastation,

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: much traded, so many three thousand lives? I mean, what

81
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: is funny about that? You can I don't know. You can.

82
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: You can make fun of me. If you speak to

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: a comedian, they'll say, well, look, the most subject matter

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: is okay, there's not there's nothing that's off limits. But

85
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: in this dame age there's plenty of things that are

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: off limit, you have to rely on good taste. And

87
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: then really, these guys are role models, So would they

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: do in front of their kids? Will they do in

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: front of their parents? In front of their girlfriends?

90
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: But interesting what you say about closed room, right, so

91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: no one's watching, it's just them letting off steam in

92
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: the season. Is that such a big deal? And that's

93
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the interesting question. I suppose, Well, that's that was.

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: A good idea. But apparently it was the barman, the

95
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: person and one of the staff members who lodged the complaint.

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: So I mean, do they have a responsibility to be

97
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: the guardian of good taste or as paid employees they

98
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: just have to suck it up. But I probably thought

99
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: they were doing the right thing by keeping away from

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: the public eye. But it would have been best to

101
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: have cleared the room completely. I know in our day,

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: if there was anything a bit risk game, we're a

103
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: place where we had waitresses, we'd asked to clear the

104
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: room before there was any for our language. By this

105
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: day and age, our languages coming.

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: Here on the radio, the waitresses would be leading that charge.

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: Potentially, maybe maybe they go they go. In one respect,

108
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: I feel a bit sorry for but another expected to

109
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: wake up call for them, but for the whole football

110
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: You know, mad I've been saying I've been saying it

111
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: for years, these Mad Mondays and working Wednesdays. They have

112
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: to be banned. And they're not even funny anymore.

113
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: For heaven, say Corns, appreciate your time, thank you, thanks

114
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: that ramon corns on Mad Mondays? And there you go.

115
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: What do you think should they be banned? Is it time?

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: What is the point of mad Monday
