It's worth recounting his journey 177 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: at Brisbane. So was the AFL that asked him to 178 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: go in twenty fourteen when the northern outpost was hemorrhaging 179 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: and in every way financially on the field, player attention 180 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: so he went and stabilized it. Then the biggest appointment 181 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: that he makes is Chris Fagin and the true genius 182 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: of that player attention he rectifies and then makes them 183 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: attractive to go to. 184 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: So he starts to attract players up there. 185 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: They become financially sound and then affluent. He plays a 186 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: huge role in securing the future for the lines at 187 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: Victoria Park, wrangling throughout the Olympics, the need to get 188 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: out of the Gabba, which had reached its use by date, 189 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: and before he finishes his won premierships in the men's 190 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: and the women's. 191 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: Like that is a job spectacular. 192 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: They're done, and now the AFL asks him to come 193 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: home at a time of need. A time of need 194 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: around umpiring, around the judicial system, around the laws of 195 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the game, the day to day operations are footing in 196 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: the relationships with clubs. So it is his wheelhouse when 197 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: his name was floated together. Okay, so the triumvirate is 198 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: going to look like Andrew Dillon a chief executive, Greg's 199 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: won and another chief executive. They will either be Tom 200 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: Harley and Meat Bains or Simon Garley. What a powerful 201 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: triangle that is to drive the game. 202 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 2: For Yeah, and clubs have been screaming out for experience 203 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: in an AFL house. So the other thing he's got 204 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: is he's got an undeniably good relationship with media. Now 205 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: how big a fact that that is. It's down the list, 206 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: but he has developed great relationships within powerful media figures, 207 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: and I think it's going to help sell this this 208 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: next phase for the AFL. 209 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: He's a straight talker, Yeah, he will answer the question. 210 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: He's a real good bloke. 211 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: So I don't know if the good bloke factor comes 212 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 2: into it, but I guess at age sixty three, I. 213 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: Thought, well, he's up there. I'm not starting. 214 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 2: It's a cushy job because what you just pointed out 215 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: is an outstanding role call of what he's done. But 216 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: to get up and come back, and I know he's 217 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: got family and grandchildren to come and bring back and 218 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: throw himself into a big, big job. 219 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 5: It surprised me a bit, but I'm really excited. 220 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 3: What a servant of the game. 221 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: So we already had the life membership and now probably 222 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: his last job in the industry is going to be 223 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: an immense one inside the Mothership. 224 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 5: When will the other announcement be made. 225 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: By probably in a week inside a week. I think 226 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: the determination is to have it all done before the 227 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame dinner, which is next Tuesday night, and 228 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: the meetings that happen around that. 229 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 5: And you have a leaning, you have a suspicion. 230 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: No, I don't want to say that. I do as 231 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: there's clearly a push for Tom Harley. I don't think 232 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: they can miss. I think they're three excellent candidates, Harley, 233 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: Bans and Garlic. So whatever suits Dylan as his right 234 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: hand man. It feels like this one is a very 235 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: personal choice and then these three can drive. 236 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 5: In a big five or six days. 237 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 238 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: And the response I think, I think it has most 239 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 2: people in footage just nodding their head saying, okay, now 240 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: we're getting where we need. 241 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Them, desperately needed and decisive, decisive in a way that 242 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: hadn't been coming out of the headquarters for a while. 243 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: On the field, it was impossible to miss the horror 244 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: show that was the Sydney Swans on Saturday nights, and 245 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: in that just how far a powerhouse of a team 246 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: has fallen. 247 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: The home team have been absolutely slows. 248 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: We're now starting to see holes everywhere. 249 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 4: The real Swan, the real Swans, they played in the 250 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: Grand Final last year. 251 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: I understand the grand final team. I'm telling you there, 252 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 5: but look at bottom four team. They are at bottom 253 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 5: four team, bottom four teable, They're not well well. 254 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 6: It was unacceptable and embarrassing. Embarrassing. 255 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 4: Humiliation lies with the home team. 256 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 6: I have so many questions to answer in the season. 257 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 6: I didn't expect that. You know, I'm such a massive 258 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 6: night for the footy club. When you have a twenty 259 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 6: year reunion, you know, for a team that played desperate, uncompromising, 260 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 6: ruthless football, and that was that far from it. So 261 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 6: when it is, drew it back and get to work 262 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 6: real quick. Everyone. 263 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 5: I hate seeing a coach like that. 264 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 9: Just down and his answers are obvious. 265 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 5: We're not working out enough. 266 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 8: Don't underestimate the fallout of the two Grand final losses. 267 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 5: I think that one hundred sent there with his scars. 268 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 6: Well, are going to fight our way through this, the 269 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 6: everyone that's involved at the footy club, and there's going 270 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 6: to be no easy way through it. So I said 271 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: to them, we expect, expect some tough sessions that'll happen. 272 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: You were there for the full gory show. Just how 273 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 3: shocking was it. 274 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 5: It was a galling night to what it was. 275 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: So they kicked the first goal of the game and 276 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: it went into sort of arm wrestle phase for about 277 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: ten minutes, and I said, okay, both teams are up 278 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: for it. And then they the Adelai Crows, kicked another two. 279 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: And then you realize that this Sydney Swans team can't 280 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: score and this Satelade team defends so well, and all 281 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: of a sudden, the four goals just was gaping, and 282 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: almost as it occurred to ours as a commentary, I 283 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: think it occurred to the playing group as it unfollowed. 284 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 2: They thought this side that hard to score against, and 285 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: we're already four down, and then all of a sudden 286 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: it was twelve hours the goals and I'm down on 287 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: the ground, you know, to get ready to do the 288 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: halftime and the two thousand and five premiership team have 289 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: been presented, and it just occurred to us. There was 290 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: a time Jared in the second quarter where Sydney kicked 291 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: the point and the crowd started clapping, and how don't 292 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: I look at each other and John oh, is that 293 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: a special acknowledgment maybe of this, but it was just 294 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: them getting little bronxed. I guess it's the best way 295 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: to describe it. So it was a really dark night 296 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: for the footy club on the back of all the 297 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: things the boys had just talked about there as a premiers, 298 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: as a Grand Final team, they've dropped right away. So 299 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: it doesn't look modern, and the makeup of the team 300 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: doesn't look modern, and it was just a procession in 301 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: the end. 302 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: So there's the mechanics, and then there's the intangibles. Where 303 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: are you inclined to lean at the moment? 304 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: It's all of it, mechanics, intangibles and personnel, and the 305 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: personnel that's missing is that the personnel they can least 306 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 2: afford to miss. And I'm talking about Papley and Golden 307 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: as being spirit and energy tights, but also class. 308 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 5: But the rest of it's just dropped away. 309 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: The intangibles is the spirit, it's the commitment, it's the heart, 310 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: is walking off the ground with looking at each other. 311 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: And then you know you have the situation where in 312 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: opposition play. I have no problem with Waye Miller saying 313 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: that they were a rebel, because they were. We'll talk 314 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: about that further when Matthew Nix joins us. So all 315 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: those things are real, and then You've got the other thing, 316 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: which we put on your gender last week, that we've 317 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: been generous and kind to Sydney in terms of the 318 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: succession plan because they've had good success, great success, premiership 319 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: success with it. So we go, okay, they know what 320 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: they're doing. But now to justifiably Dean Cox's rolling all 321 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: this will be questioned. And that's the big That's what 322 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: happens when you're sitting in the big chair. And now 323 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: Coxy would be feeling that right now. It's not sitting 324 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: next to the horse and letting him front up. He's 325 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: got to front up and find a way. I'm not 326 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: sure bringing the mouthguard is going to fix it. 327 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: So he's been hard and uncompromising. He has been blunts 328 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: at each stage where they've had these performances, and that 329 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: was the. 330 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: Worst of it. What if that's not what's required at 331 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: the moment. 332 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: If it is the emotional exp bows are all healing, 333 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: and that this is the one moment in time where 334 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: working harder is not going to be the answer. 335 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: It would be the bravest of brave twelve game coaches 336 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: who then sat down and just threw his arms and 337 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: throat and started the love in and if that's the 338 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: alternative you're talking about, is it the mouthguards? You know, 339 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: let's get some pain and work our way through it, 340 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: or now let's sit down and talk about our feelings. 341 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: And that might be what's theyd jo, But she used 342 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: to be a brave path to take for Dean Cox. 343 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: I suspect it's more than that. I suspect it's more 344 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: than that. And yeah, there's a whole little undercurrency this. 345 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: As I was watching that unfolded and in the coach's box, 346 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: callerm Mills are sitting in the back row as the 347 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: captain of this football club come back for a week 348 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: and got himself reported and sat out and had to 349 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: watch that again. It's a pretty hard he would be 350 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: feeling guilty, I would imagine right now. Call Mills. So, 351 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: we love this footy club. We've all admired them, but 352 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: they are, excuse me, like lots of clubs have been 353 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: in the last ten twenty years. They're in a deep 354 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: hole and it was embarrassing and it is embarrassing and 355 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: now it's up to them to do something about it. 356 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: All right, not as deep a hole, but a bit 357 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: of the varnish coming off the Hawks, who were one 358 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: of the spruit teams coming into the season thrilling last 359 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: year and now living the journey. 360 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: Of the high Riser that then meets the plateau. 361 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 10: So what's the message to the players after that one? 362 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 9: How's more just ask them actually just have a bit 363 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 9: of a discussion around let it all out. What's going 364 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 9: on and where you're at, and where are we're at 365 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 9: and what do you think? And I think it was 366 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 9: pretty clear to everyone that was here and knows watching 367 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 9: it home that you know. 368 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 10: Where at this point miles off it, where do you 369 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 10: think the players are at? And like you ask them 370 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 10: what's going on? Like, where do you think they're at? 371 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 9: I don't understand the question. Where do I think they're at? 372 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 9: We just got beaten by ten goals, so that's where 373 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 9: they are up with sandwich just a bad night. I mean, 374 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 9: I think you're always assessing where you're at and what 375 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 9: we what we've known is we're not We're not the 376 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 9: best in it, and that's what we want to be. 377 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 9: That was a that was a pretty big reality check 378 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 9: for what the best looked like at this stage of 379 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 9: the season. 380 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 3: Seven and five. 381 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: Two big clashes to come. How did you leave Friday Nights. 382 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 5: Oh no, they got a belting. 383 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: I think the team that belted them are very very good, 384 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: but they've got a belting. And it's the reality is 385 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: they haven't achieved anything this side, and now we sit 386 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: there and go, okay, do you understand that as a 387 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: playing group, because I know the coach does. 388 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 5: I absolutely do, But I don't. 389 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 2: They enjoyed this, as I said, a ten to finish 390 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: to the year, won the first final, just got mudded, right, 391 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: So they spent a summer of heaped praise and then 392 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 2: they won their first four games of this year. So 393 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 2: I got no doubt in their mindset that they are 394 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: here we go sort of thing, as opposed to here 395 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: we go and let's let's get to work. 396 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 5: But I think it was more here we go, you understand. 397 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: So when the pressure came, I just thought the club 398 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: itself didn't. They just seemed edgy unnecessarily in the lead 399 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: up to that game on Friday night. Maybe I'm reading 400 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: a bit into it, but as I said to you, 401 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: there were seven games Brisbane Esident. Every Yeah, the game 402 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: was great as it turned out, but everyone's going, oh well, 403 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 2: Essident injured, and so the focus rightly went on that 404 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 2: game and the criticism. So then they get critiqued. When 405 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: you're a big game like that, you get pulled apart. 406 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: And then some of it's positive, some of its negative. 407 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: James Sisley, you know this rubbish about there's been a 408 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: pile on James Sisley. 409 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 5: Turn it up. So and then the footy. 410 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: Manage that comes out, right, Rob McCarthy, I don't actually 411 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: wear did you give this the you might give relpie 412 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: on Friday Night? So the quote was I think we've 413 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 2: got the quote there. Ye, I was going to have 414 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: to put my glasses on. I will, He says, there 415 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: it is. I can't be more emphatic. This is about 416 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: some of the criticism veiled or not of James. Is 417 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: there anyone would question is? Of course his leadership can 418 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: be questioned. That's footy, right, It couldn't be further from 419 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 2: the truth. That's okay too, that's your opinion. You're the manager. 420 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: You'ren't going to say anything else. But then to say 421 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: his leadership is in question, that is bullshit. And you 422 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: can quote me on that. When I read that, they 423 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: get unnecessarily wound up here and you know, when they're 424 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: going beautifully and that tend to win and they're four 425 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: zip and the love's been the media is no one, 426 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: no gm of the foot. 427 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 5: He's coming out and go yeah, yay, you blugs, come on. 428 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 5: Back off our boys a bit. 429 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 2: You know, they're not that good, but when a little 430 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: bit of heat and pressure comes on, So that was 431 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: to me, that was kind of the mindset going in. 432 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 2: And then they got punched in the nose and they 433 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: couldn't you know. Sam was a bit his press conference, 434 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 2: this is what And then they didn't tackle the week before, 435 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: so all of sudden, we think this is just going 436 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: to be a tackle fest and they got more of 437 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: the same. So yeah, they're going to get more heat 438 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: and they'll probably get crankier, but that's not going to 439 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: do you any good. 440 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: No, the critique has been reasonable, and as it turns out, 441 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: it's been accurate. 442 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 5: Well that's the other thing. 443 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 2: Well, all of the build up to it, you know, 444 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: it was really no one was saying what did Sam say? 445 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 5: And every one thinks we can't play We're going to 446 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 5: win again. 447 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: So I know that, yeah, it's in the margins, but 448 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 2: I did get a mindset that they felt like they 449 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: were under siege when they weren't under siege. They're just 450 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 2: getting good old fashioned critique. 451 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: What's happening on the ground is fascinating. So hot boar 452 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: was a fad, and it was last year's fad, and 453 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: our teams are not simply not allowing them to play 454 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: in that way anymore. They've been scouted and respected as 455 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: a top team. They haven't made the adjustment to that, 456 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: and we haven't seen what they're going to be next. 457 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: So they're not what they were and they're not what 458 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: they're going to be. And this is the most painful 459 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: period where you don't look like anything at the moment. 460 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: It's a great point, Jared, And you know what they're 461 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: not prepared to do on the basis of the last 462 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: two weeks is get their hands dirty and put their 463 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 2: head the hull and go and tackle someone. So that's 464 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: a pretty clear message. Sam's already said at once the 465 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: response was negligible, So you're right, we don't know what 466 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: the response is, but right now the response is not 467 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 2: get to work and work hard. So let's see their 468 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: flud lines all over the shop. They've introduced two prize 469 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 2: recruits into their back half, but you wonder whether it's 470 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: starming some of the run and there and all that 471 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. 472 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 5: So it's pretty good. It makes for a great Thursday night. 473 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Dogs and Adelaide their next to the 474 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: biggest winner of the weekend felt like Fremantle. So I 475 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: was watching this with your words ringing in my ears 476 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: after the Security loss. You laid out the idea of 477 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: footy broke. When you invest in your performance, you win, 478 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: and you take it all out and then you come 479 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: to the next one rather than reinvesting and rolling and 480 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: going from one to the next to the next. Each 481 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: game is not an isolated incident, and each win is not. 482 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: They've had four good weeks and now three good wins, 483 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: two of those on the roads, and they were. 484 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: Just all in. 485 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: From the Bolton tackle to long Ear in the box, 486 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: they were all in and it just felt to me 487 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: like they've had the epiphany. 488 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the people from week to week to week. 489 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: And the post game looked like it as well. He 490 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: was the animated Justin Longo. So yeah, the winning, the story, 491 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: this is what I loved here. So the wins are 492 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: just an investment on where you want to get to. 493 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: You don't go and cash out, just you leave it 494 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: in and it becomes compounding interest. 495 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 5: That was the phrase I couldn't get out last time. 496 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: Talking about this, So let a compound and they've done 497 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: exactly that. They've lost against Collingwood competitively, and then they 498 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: beat the Giants, but they didn't take all the money 499 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: out here and they just said not let it go. 500 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: Got some interest with Port, got some more interests with 501 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: the Sons, and now they're looking at a nice solid investment. 502 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: So I loved it. I love their leaders. Their leaders 503 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: were the best players. 504 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: Again. 505 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: Five comes back in Clark. Clark keeps having a fantastic year. 506 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 2: So they've got not the double looking this far ahead 507 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: by the way, they've got the bar. And then they 508 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: got North on North home game, which happens to be 509 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: in Perth and Essen and Kilda. That's for us to 510 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: look at and say, that's three winnable games for them. 511 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: It's North and nothing else. 512 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 5: Yep. 513 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: So get to your ten wins and they don't fumble 514 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: it like last year. 515 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 5: Exactly right. 516 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: And the emotionally wrought aspect of the weekend was what 517 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: surrounded callum Wards, which was which was tough viewing and 518 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: it's everything that was feared at the time, and in 519 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: all likelihood the game's record holder at the Giants. 520 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 5: His career is over. 521 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 7: He's an athletic customer. 522 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: The hands and backs that one. 523 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Ward get another look at that, but that doesn't look 524 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: good the way that. 525 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 5: He's holding that knee. 526 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: Who gets gens in due course, but it doesn't great. 527 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: So you obviously incredibly disappointing for a fooday club, such 528 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: an important person, important player. 529 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 4: When he goes for the tackle, he grabs the right knee, 530 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 4: it doesn't look great. And when you hold it at 531 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 4: the back, and I can tell you that's the feeling 532 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 4: you get and I don't want to be the profit 533 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 4: of the doom. That's where you grab when your acls. 534 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 11: In all sorts, very emotional scenes and you obviously just 535 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 11: seeing there Locky with two of you by hog water 536 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 11: think he knows how are you feeling? What's the diagnosis 537 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 11: at the moment. 538 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure officially that but it feels like about 539 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: it on like a c L initially probably be in 540 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: shockground found out there's a lot worse going on the 541 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: met is. 542 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 11: It in the marketing contest or when the ball hit 543 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 11: the ground ren for the tackle in the In the. 544 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 5: Tackle there's just a change direction like a typical ACL. 545 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 5: He's a fantastic clubman. 546 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 3: He sees the game really. 547 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 5: Well and there's no doubt that he'll add value in 548 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: whatever he does. It's just won't be on the field, unfortunately. 549 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't but feel that little way that cal Warts 550 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: giving the crowd maybe more symbolic than he's like. 551 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 10: A you Joe. 552 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: The coverage was raw and exceptional, from the wave of 553 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: the crowd, the tears, the kiss from Locky Whitfield and 554 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: then the three quarter time address. He's met with the 555 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: surgeon today and is the ACL. So he committed himself 556 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: to this being his last season. Had left the family 557 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: back in Melbourne for one last tilt at it and 558 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: his eighteenth season three hundred and twenty seven games four 559 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: with the Dogs, where he was a much loved figure. 560 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 3: He's been a cornerstone of what the Giants have been. 561 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll leave it for him to make any announcement, obviously, 562 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: but whatever happens he retire, well, when his time comes, 563 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: he will be remembered as one of the most respected 564 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: players of the last ten or twenty years. And I 565 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: don't think there's anything better than the retire with that 566 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 2: sort of monicat so all you want in add your 567 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 2: career is to say I did everything I possibly could 568 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 2: to get the best of myself and to get my 569 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: team to be as good as they can be. And 570 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: he's the embodiment and the epitome of that. So beyond that, 571 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: I got no other words. I was heartbreaking like everyone else. 572 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: So and what he. 573 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: Meant to his teammates that was three quarter time, wasn't it. 574 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: He speaks to them and they show it. 575 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: It's everything that Sydney didn't do. So Sidney had their 576 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: two thousand and five heroes in front of them, Jared 577 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 2: and looked at them. 578 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 5: And then went out on the ground and gave up 579 00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 5: twelve goals. 580 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: They look at Callum wore at three quarter times staring 581 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: down the barrel of the was it I don't know 582 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: what the margin was? And they responded and walked off 583 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: with a win. They're the two polar opposites. One's respecting 584 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 2: your heroes and one's not. 585 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: It was for the misty eyed sentimentalists, that's for sure, 586 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: all right. Our coaches are about to join us, Chris 587 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: Fagan and Matthew Knicks, so the Lions are. 588 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 3: In the top two. 589 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: Matthew Knicks has got his Crow's pair, And so when 590 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: they meet they sit two and three on the ladder. Oh, 591 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: come Friday nights, just looking at me.
