And then that was Channel nine. 170 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 4: You know, we tried to do it big and I 171 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: think we did a great job of that, but he 172 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: was he was the man, like the cornerstone. Eddie was 173 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 4: the showman, and then he was the credibility if you like. 174 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: And Dermot and I just were in awe. Durmott was 175 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: never early. It was never on time for anything, and 176 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: Dennis had about enough of that about the third night 177 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: on a Friday night footy when we're in the state, 178 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: I won't be waiting, and he ended up getting his 179 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: own car. He took off and then you know, for 180 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 4: whatever reason, he ended up a triple in with us, 181 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: and this is when we're at our sort of maddest 182 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 4: and craziest, and he would have been the last bloke 183 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 4: you'd think that could come into that environment. He never 184 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 4: did the pre game, which was all the carry on, 185 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: but it worked perfectly because we all respected the game 186 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: enough that when he walked in, that's the sign to 187 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 4: go right. But all the silliness that we carried on 188 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 4: with and Jay, but it'd straighten up and we'd straighten up, 189 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 4: and then he'd call it beautifully. So I do know 190 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 4: today it occurred to me that I have been a 191 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: really privileged position to sit with one of the all 192 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: time greats, and yeah, it was I got a shock. 193 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: To be perfectly honest, I wasn't aware. I knew he 194 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: was in your health, but I wasn't aware of how 195 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: ill he was. So obviously the thoughts and sympathies with 196 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: the family and friends. But he will be well remembered, 197 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 4: There's no question about this. This will be one of many. 198 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: This is a great tribute, and there'll be one of many, 199 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: I imagine over the next couple of days. 200 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: Well, let's bring Andrew Dillon, the AFL's chief executive into 201 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: our conversation, is presiding over the season launch in Sydney tonight. 202 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 5: Andrew, it's great to have you back on three sixty. 203 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: Great to be with you tonight. Jared Gaz, how would. 204 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: You describe Dennis Committee's contribution to the game. 205 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 7: Look, there's so many words that come to mind, Jared, 206 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 7: but I think the one that first comes is just immense. 207 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 7: An immense contributor as a player, as a coach, but 208 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 7: obviously as a broadcaster, where he brought so many magical 209 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 7: moments to life with an unbelievable turn of phrase, which 210 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 7: I think some of those turns of phrase will last 211 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 7: in people's memories for a lifetime. 212 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 2: They absolutely will. 213 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: Are you thinking about how he might be remembered in 214 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: the coming days. 215 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I mean it's all pretty raw at the moment, Jared, 216 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 7: but yeah, absolutely. You know, Dennis is a Hall of Famer. 217 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 7: As I said, he played at state league level, coach 218 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 7: at state league level, and just made such a great contribution. 219 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 7: So we'll work through that and there will be a 220 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 7: fitting acknowledgment for Dennis. 221 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: Absolutely here in Sydney. 222 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 5: You have been all week broots on the ground. Have 223 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 5: you been spreading the gospel of Ossie Rules. 224 00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: I've been doing our best. 225 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 7: It's out at the rose Hill Public School yesterday seeing 226 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 7: a whole bunch of boys and girls from grade one 227 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 7: and two out of that public school getting their first 228 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 7: crack at AFL and it was great to see all 229 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 7: dressed up in their Giants uniforms. And Josh Kelly was 230 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 7: out there helping him, you know, teach him a few 231 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 7: of the skills of the game. So it's bit by 232 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 7: bit up here, Jared, but we're growing strongly. 233 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 4: It feels bigger for some reason. Deal's I'm not sure 234 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 4: what it is, whether our counterparts up there in the 235 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 4: NRL becoming more vocal, but it does feel like this 236 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: week is growing in importance for the game up in 237 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: the northern Northern States. 238 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 7: Yeah. Look, it's a really good way we find to 239 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 7: start the season, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland, 240 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 7: because it just gets the awareness going a lot earlier 241 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 7: up here, and we see that play out in terms 242 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 7: of increased membership, increased attendances of games and then just 243 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 7: more people talking and more people registering for community footy 244 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 7: as well, which is super important. And the great thing 245 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 7: also this year is that we can bookend round your 246 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 7: opening round with a big game of the g on 247 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 7: Sunday as well. 248 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 4: So how will you measure the success or otherwise of 249 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: opening Round? Is it merely numbers? 250 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: Look, I think it's a little bit of everything. 251 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 7: But you know, the numbers tell an objective story, and 252 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 7: so we're going to see four really big crowds across 253 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 7: New South Wales and Queensland. But it's a bit more 254 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 7: qualitative than that as well. And you know, we want 255 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 7: to see more boys and girls playing footy and we're 256 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 7: starting to see those registrations tick over now, So all 257 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 7: those things are really important for us as we kick 258 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 7: off the twenty twenty sixth season. 259 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 4: Is there any angst from the Northern States given that 260 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 4: the Opening Round was established to promote the game primarily 261 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: in the Northern States And now we've got this game 262 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: that's come back to Melbourne on Sunday night. Al but 263 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: it's going to be a monster. How has that been received? 264 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 7: I know, Look, I mean our discussions with the four 265 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 7: clubs in New South Wales and Queensland have all been positive. 266 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 7: They're right behind Opening Round. It doesn't take any shine 267 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 7: or any awareness of what we're doing up here, but 268 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 7: I think it actually adds to the spectacle of opening ground. 269 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 7: And then you know, we roll into a massive Round 270 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 7: one which will kick off with big crowds to the 271 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 7: MCG again on next Thursday and Friday when Richmond play 272 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 7: Carlton and then the Bombers play the Hawk. So it's 273 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 7: a really big week in a bit of footy coming up. 274 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 5: What are you hoping for on Sunday night? It's Grand 275 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 5: Prix Day, so there's a critical mass of people in Melbourne. 276 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: It's the night before a public holiday in the city. 277 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: What's possible? 278 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I look at I don't want to put a 279 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 7: number on it because I don't want to occur. Taylor 280 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 7: but I think it'll be a number definitely in the eighties, 281 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 7: which will be a massive crowd. Will be sink killd 282 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 7: A's biggest crowd for the year because it's the one 283 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 7: home game they have at the G and I think, 284 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 7: particularly given their pre season form, I think there's a 285 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 7: lot of excitement around what sink Kilda has got to 286 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 7: bring to the competition this year and I think that 287 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 7: only adds to the intrigue of this Sunday night's game. 288 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 4: What about the intrigue of the weather up in the 289 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 4: Northern States. We had Josh Stunkley with us yesterday, so 290 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 4: it's been hosing down. It's going to come down in 291 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: buckets given last year, Are we a bit nervous? 292 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 7: Well, I was a bit more nervous this time last year, 293 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 7: but I do think, yeah, it's going to rain a 294 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 7: little bit up in Queensland, but you know, we're not 295 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 7: dealing with the aftermaths of a cyclone, so the games 296 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 7: will go ahead and again I think we'll see some 297 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 7: really good footy with you know, there are two big 298 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 7: matchups in Queensland, with Geelong taking on the Gold Coast, 299 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 7: which could be a forerunner for who knows what towards 300 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 7: the end of the year, and then you know the 301 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 7: Lion's playing the Bulldogs, and you know, the Bulldogs have 302 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 7: probably got a lot of lot to prove after their 303 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 7: finish up last year. 304 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: So the business of the day is how resolute are 305 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: you to reform the academy the father son picks and 306 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: restore a level of equalization in the draft. 307 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 7: Your look competitive balanced chere it is. It's the bedrock 308 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 7: of the success of the AFL. There's many things that 309 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 7: go into it, but competitive balance is super important. And 310 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 7: I think what we have seen over the last couple 311 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 7: of years is our clubs have become more sophistic they've 312 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 7: sort of work their way through the draft fitting system. 313 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 7: So what we want to make sure is that when 314 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 7: there is that priority access given, whether it's a father son, 315 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 7: a Northern Academy player or a next generation Academy player, 316 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 7: that a fair price is paid under the system that 317 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 7: we've got. And we had a good meeting with the 318 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 7: Commission earlier today. We've got a few more tweaks to make, 319 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 7: but we'll be making announcement on that in the next 320 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 7: couple of weeks. And as I said, that equalization is 321 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 7: so important to the success of our competition and we 322 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 7: want all of our fans to have hope. 323 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 4: As you said, the Commission met today and we step 324 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 4: closer to a Twilight Grand Final. I'm sure it was 325 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 4: on the agenda. It is always at this time a year. 326 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: Look, any discussions about that will be decisions of the Commission, 327 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 7: and we'll run all of those decisions through our filter 328 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 7: of our three focuses for this year, which are, you know, 329 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 7: what's best for the footy, what's best for our fans, 330 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 7: and what's best for our future. And I imagine that 331 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 7: that will be decision that will be coming on the 332 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 7: Commission's agenda pretty shortly. 333 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: Is there a time frame in terms of a decision 334 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 4: and to let the rest of the public know. 335 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I think we're our next meeting of the Commission. 336 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 7: He's in sort of late April early May. I would 337 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 7: imagine that there will be a decision made at that meeting. 338 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: And Craig Drummond has taken over as chairman today, so 339 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: you sat with him at his first press conference. What's 340 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: his determination, Andrew? What will he bring to the game? 341 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 7: Look, I think what he brings and it's something that's 342 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 7: really important. I think at the AFL is that deep 343 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 7: understanding of the clubs, and we've got a number of 344 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 7: commissioners who've had roles at clubs, but having someone like 345 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 7: Craig who comes in with that really recent club experience, 346 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 7: a little bit like what we've done with the executive 347 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 7: with Tom Harley and Greek Swan coming in that contemporary 348 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 7: club experience. 349 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: And understanding, I find is really important. 350 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 7: And I know amongst many of Craig's attributes that will 351 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 7: one that'll be one that he definitely brings to the table. 352 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: It's a big night. 353 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 4: I've seen some heavy hitters sliding in behind you for 354 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 4: the season launch in Sydney. You haven't snatched Snoop Dogg 355 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 4: in there just to kick things after the season. 356 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 7: I think Snoop had his time in the sun and 357 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 7: he did. He did an amazing job last September, But yeah, 358 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 7: I don't think he's got to be here tonight. 359 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 5: Andrew, thanks to your time and I enjoy the evening. 360 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, great to see you guys. 361 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 3: Thank you yesterday's news. Snoop, would you slide the grand 362 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: final time this year? 363 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: Yep. I've only been ambivalent about it all, but I 364 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 4: think Craig Drammond's got the opportunity to go in and 365 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 4: make a bit of a statement, and I don't know 366 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 4: it's always it was a bit of a traditionalist. But 367 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: I don't think we lose too much by going to 368 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 4: a Twilight Grand Final. I think there's got a sense 369 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 4: of inevitability about it. And let's start fresh with the 370 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 4: new commissioner, make a brave choice, cop a couple early, 371 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 4: were a couple early, Jared, and then move on. 372 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: We lost the day's announce it will be a win 373 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 3: when the impact of it is fully measured. All right, 374 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: Let's get into wats in store for us, Sydney and Carlton. 375 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 3: We're ten minutes to go in the trade period. The 376 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: Blues called Charlie Kurno and told him he was likely 377 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: to be stuck there. A lot has happened. It happened suddenly, 378 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: and then it plays out in the full prime time 379 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 3: tomorrow night as the dule Coleman medallist suits up against 380 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: his old mates as the enemy. We sort of put 381 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 3: friendships aside and we're going to combat against each other, 382 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: and I'm sure there will be some gamesmanship within that, 383 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: but ultimately there's a. 384 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: Bigger prize at hand, and that's what We're probably focused 385 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: in on. 386 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 4: The narrative around it was that he wanted to go 387 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 4: down the Geelong and get the talk, get out of 388 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 4: the spotlight. Well guess what there's nowhere to hide Thursday 389 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 4: night SCG with your old mob or. 390 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 3: What we can't afford is obviously clearly make it about him. 391 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 5: There's other things we need to achieve out of the game, 392 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 5: and if we make it all about him then will 393 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 5: get really distracted. 394 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: It's the logesty about Charlie externally. We understand the narrative 395 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: behind a lot of things, but you know, I think 396 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: from his perspective and also ours, he's just one of 397 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 2: twenty three tomorrow night. 398 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 4: I don't want to see smiles and cuddles if I 399 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: sit out in front of the TV and watch that. 400 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 4: If I was a Carden fan, I'd be bitterly disappointed 401 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 4: with that. 402 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 3: It's obviously be built up because that's the storyline people 403 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 3: want to see. 404 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 7: And rap down. 405 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: It's what everyone will come for. 406 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: It's really the only reason Sydney and Carlton, two teams 407 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: who didn't make the finals last year, are playing on 408 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: opening night, so it's got a little bit to live 409 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 3: up to. Sold out SCG or full house expected. It's 410 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: going to start with a tribute to the Bondi victims 411 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: and the terror attack that happened in the heart of Sydney, 412 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: so it'll have an emotional build up and then we'll 413 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: get to the season. 414 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 5: The teams are in. 415 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 3: The Swans are pretty well full strength. They've added three roses, 416 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 3: Colonel and Sarong, so they all are going to play. 417 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: And Carton is very different, as Michael Voss said, seven 418 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 3: new faces, the two debutantes Dean and Smith, the which 419 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: so much rests Florence Hayward, Ainsworth, Reedy, chessup. I've all 420 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: been purpose brought in and they're going to play first up. 421 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 4: A lot changes in twelve months, doesn't it. So they 422 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 4: only win four of their first twelve games under Dean Cox, 423 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 4: which is a big surprise to all of us, and 424 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: one of them men I think nearly the most important 425 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 4: man wasn't there in their all good and he comes back. 426 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 4: They winnated their last eleven so they finished the season 427 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 4: really strongly. They got they got six as good as 428 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: six A graders, nearly as anyone in the compared. So 429 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 4: Grundy's in good nick I watched him in the community 430 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 4: series he played really well. Well, let's throw Charlie in 431 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 4: there on trust and then you've got Gold and Heeny 432 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: Warner and Blakie. That is your top, top of the 433 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 4: shelf stuff. So I think Sidney who will have celebrated 434 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: a worldwide event and then to go okay and now 435 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 4: let's turn it to our national game at the home 436 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 4: of footy, the best sporting arena in the world. I 437 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 4: think it's absolutely superb and it's cherry right for and 438 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 4: to have these two here because there's a I'm not 439 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 4: saying there's a whiff of desperation about it, but there 440 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 4: is because sin Kilda want to go and I admire 441 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: so they put it out there. I admire what they're doing. 442 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 4: I admire the fact that they've opened themselves up and 443 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: they've banged the table and they've picked a few fights 444 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: over this and that, and then backed it up by 445 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 4: paying big money for playing. The supporters in the end 446 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 4: don't care about the money, Jared. They care about the 447 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 4: twenty three that run out there, and they're going to 448 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: put a really formidable competitive team out there that's going 449 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 4: to have the Carnig, Sylvanne, Flanders and Ryan and those 450 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 4: four players make them better. I don't think there's any 451 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 4: doubt about that. And then on the other side of it, 452 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 4: you've got a team that played in a preliminary final. 453 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: They played a prelimi final, so it's just everyone's just 454 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: gone on Collingwood, they've played in a preliminary final. We 455 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 4: know they're going to be short of how and more 456 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 4: and a few others. But gi they've got some talent 457 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 4: run through there. And if you think that they're just 458 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: sitting there going, oh, well, you know our time and 459 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 4: the sun's gone, then you're sadly mistaken. So there's there's 460 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: some history that goes way back between these two clubs. 461 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter that this Collingwood Football Club are better suited 462 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 4: on big stage or more familiar with big stages than 463 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 4: anyone in the game. Jared, they play on seventy eight 464 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 4: thousand for fun. This is new territory for this and 465 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 4: killed a side the biggest home and away crowd they 466 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: will ever play in front of. Let's find out about. 467 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: Them, Let's find out about him. Indeed, there's just lashings 468 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: of judgment that sit on this course, by the way, 469 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: and it'll be severe, it'll be and over reactions will 470 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: go full throttle. If you're on the couch on Sunday 471 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 3: is Fox is your best friend. Here you can start 472 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: at eight forty five am and go essentially all the 473 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 3: way through to midnight by the time our coverage finishes 474 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: and the press conferences. 475 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 5: Have been played. That is heavy duty sport for you. 476 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 2: Right there. 477 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: We'll get down to the shops early, load up, and 478 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 4: don't move. That's better to be my suggestion, Jared, don't 479 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 4: move a muscle for the whole day. 480 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 5: All right, let's go a little deeper. 481 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: As we learned last year, Simo and Horse can teach 482 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: us a thing or two about the footy that's been. 483 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 5: Played and the prospects in store. 484 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: Adam Simpson, John Longmy have experienced so much and putting together. 485 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: They're back on three sixty to make a smart every week.
