Speaker 1: After all that James Cecily is injureds the Hawk Skipper
Speaker 1: ruled out of the next two crucial clashes that might
Speaker 1: shape his team's fortunates.
Speaker 2: The agony and stoicism of Callen Ward, the injured giant
Speaker 2: joins us back in Melbourne as he waits in the reconstruction.
Speaker 1: And two of the games pivotal figures are here at
Speaker 1: the desk Collingwood captain Darcy Moore and Carlton Ford Harry
Speaker 1: McKay joined players Knights. We talked about his step into it,
Speaker 1: debrace all of it.
Speaker 3: In the room and eat it.
Speaker 1: It's unedifying for a senior coach to do that.
Speaker 2: They're on the side of cautia with the brain, take.
Speaker 4: The man on it.
Speaker 1: They played the best footy I've ever seen at the
Speaker 1: start of the season, and injury said president left. The
Speaker 1: couple older said, of course they do. It is the
Speaker 1: stuff that legends are made of. What is holding the ball?
Speaker 5: I don't think I could answer it clearly right now
Speaker 5: that I could do something.
Speaker 1: Wrong, you know, and I need to get on the
Speaker 1: board sextually.
Speaker 2: The fans lover and with no fans, no through sixty
Speaker 2: year old.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to work with this Tuesday night, Gaz
Speaker 1: and I know you've had the most wonderful day.
Speaker 2: I've had a great day, Jed. I look forward to
Speaker 2: sharing it with you. It's a really special occasion.
Speaker 1: A show and tell to come as we start tonight.
Speaker 1: Channel seven's News is reporting that Tom Harley is poised
Speaker 1: to accept the position as the chief operating Officer at
Speaker 1: the AFL and when that comes to pass, it will
Speaker 1: complete the most extraordinary recruiting raid on the Northern States. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Greg Swan out of the Brisbane lines. Today Tom Harley
Speaker 1: out of the Swans. And think about this triumvirate. So
Speaker 1: you've got the leader in Andrew Dillon, you've got the
Speaker 1: gray hair who comes in in Greg Swan, and the
Speaker 1: hair the next generation leader, Tom Harley.
Speaker 2: Two Grand Final CEOs of the Year prior. It is
Speaker 2: quite stunning. It is a stunning cup, no two ways
Speaker 2: about jured. And as I said, this is your area
Speaker 2: more so than mine. But from where I sit, it's
Speaker 2: pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: It's been decisive and it's been bold and it really
Speaker 1: does set the game up for what comes next. Harley
Speaker 1: is a premiership captain at Geelong, where he was a
Speaker 1: renowned leader as well as been an accomplished player, he
Speaker 1: was an excellent media performer. He's been the Swan's chief
Speaker 1: executive since twenty nineteen, and he does represent I think
Speaker 1: that natural leadership. He is a natural born leader. He's
Speaker 1: a modern thinker, he's whip smart, and he is absolutely
Speaker 1: the successor when that time comes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got great communicators, you know, and Andrew's a
Speaker 2: bit of a knock on Andrews as the media staff
Speaker 2: is not as polished as his predecessors. Well that's okay
Speaker 2: if you surround yourself with two really good media performers
Speaker 2: like Greg Swan and Tommy Harley. So I think they've
Speaker 2: done a really good job, all right.
Speaker 1: So we'll wait to see as that comes to hands.
Speaker 1: What we have for you tonight's lined up is our players,
Speaker 1: Darcy Moore and Harry McKay. Callen Ward is about to
Speaker 1: join us, and Ray Chamblain's brought the chicken wings. It'll
Speaker 1: be good viewing on midweek Tackle. As they follow the
Speaker 1: developments at AFL headquarters. Lauren Wood, John Ralph and Glenn
Speaker 1: McFarlan are working the phones as we walked down here.
Speaker 1: And then tomorrow night, John Longmiro and Adam Simpson, Simon Goodwin,
Speaker 1: a stacked lineup and slider number eight. It will be
Speaker 1: our privilege to reveal Matt Tilly is the chief executive
Speaker 1: of the M and D setup, and Hannah Monday, who's
Speaker 1: with the Vixen's Netball's got its own big Freeze to
Speaker 1: set up as well. And this is very much the
Speaker 1: Tuesday Favorites is all yours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is getting bigger and bigger, the big
Speaker 2: phrase Big Frieze eleven and it is a momentous occasion
Speaker 2: on the calendar and it's delivered us this remarkable human
Speaker 2: being by the name of Neil Danaher, who we've all
Speaker 2: known as an outstanding footballer, very very good football coach
Speaker 2: and now just providing a legacy for future am mend
Speaker 2: suffers the likes of which you can't get your head around.
Speaker 2: So today at the MCG he did what we haven't
Speaker 2: expected him to be able to do, probably for the
Speaker 2: last six years, and that is gather himself and get
Speaker 2: to the MCG, the home of football, with his beloved
Speaker 2: extended family, the Melbourne Football Club. Every single player was
Speaker 2: gathered there in the playing list, every member of the administration,
Speaker 2: the mcc there as well, and a host of his
Speaker 2: former charges that he coached, and this amazing technology this
Speaker 2: will we live in Now we've touched on this episode briefly.
Speaker 2: New was able to talk, will deliver his message rather
Speaker 2: in his own voice, so he uses his eye technology
Speaker 2: to identify the words that he wants. But this technology
Speaker 2: now delivers this uplifting message every king's birthday match. So
Speaker 2: this is a bit I've got for you here which
Speaker 2: I loved that. I loved all of it. But he
Speaker 2: talks about the two sides of him when he was
Speaker 2: first diagnosed, the mister negative and the mister positive.
Speaker 6: And in those early days, I was having a constant
Speaker 6: dialogue in my head what I call my mister Negative
Speaker 6: and mister Positive voices. Mister Negative was loud, he said,
Speaker 6: you're stuffed. There's no coming back from this, And to
Speaker 6: be honest, didn't have a great argument against that at
Speaker 6: the time. But then eventually mister Positive spoke up and
Speaker 6: he asked, how's that working for you? Sitting in misery
Speaker 6: listening to that voice in our way, And I had
Speaker 6: to admit it wasn't working at all. It was making
Speaker 6: me more anxious, more miserable. That was the start of
Speaker 6: a shift. I didn't suddenly become a superhero. I didn't
Speaker 6: have a plan, but I did realize one thing. If
Speaker 6: I kept listening to mister negative, I was already done.
Speaker 2: How a shurdinary is that to sit there and listen
Speaker 2: to that. So he talks about that. I loved it
Speaker 2: when he says, and then mister positive says, how's that.
Speaker 1: Working for him? Yes?
Speaker 2: And so he got moving And this is the over
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars raised, hope now for him and
Speaker 2: d sufferers in the future, and a room full of
Speaker 2: people who were just all struck to sit there and
Speaker 2: watch him deliver that message. So it was a beautiful day.
Speaker 2: And I don't never get out and deliver public messages.
Speaker 2: But Melbourne support us. Please on Monday, if you can
Speaker 2: get to the game, if you're a member, an MCC
Speaker 2: member or an AFL member, get there because we want
Speaker 2: to get ninety thousand plus. We know the Collingwood fans
Speaker 2: will turn up in their draves. Melbourne fans have been
Speaker 2: great supporters of this. But when you hear this man
Speaker 2: speak and what he's trying to do, he just wants
Speaker 2: to see every single seat field and every single head
Speaker 2: of a bluebean hill.
Speaker 1: Yes, it seems like we should do all in our
Speaker 1: power to make that happen, so that there's a small
Speaker 1: amount of ups for us publicly just privately. Did he
Speaker 1: channel a bit of the Reverend and give it the
Speaker 1: Melbourne treatment?
Speaker 2: Yes he did, and he's going to talk to the
Speaker 2: Collingwood team tomorrow, so let's be very even handed about this.
Speaker 2: And I know how appreciative they are. But there was
Speaker 2: a message there for his beloved dep.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful. The big freeze is spreading right around the
Speaker 1: country and the Suns did their bit today up on
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast, so down the inflatable slide when Bob
Speaker 1: easts I thought he wore the pink pretty well. Sally
Speaker 1: Pearson who all the son's pink jumper, Brandon Ellis in
Speaker 1: the shark suits, Mac Andrew in the budge smugglers.
Speaker 2: Not not shy mag that is what we want to see.
Speaker 1: The zel Jones I think might have just had a
Speaker 1: little shot of James Magison here a.
Speaker 2: Bit beefed up. That is good sport right there, Well done,
Speaker 2: Well done to everyone.
Speaker 1: Everyone gets asked to do a photo opportunity along the way,
Speaker 1: and in these moments, everyone says yes steel side Bottom
Speaker 1: and Jake Melcham should they have said yes this one.
Speaker 2: These are two of the oldest players in the competition.
Speaker 2: Arthritis comes into it when he has to go in
Speaker 2: the arctic conditions of the Penguins. They could have been excuse,
Speaker 2: this is where you send the young bucks. But it's
Speaker 2: great to see. I heard both these boys talk about
Speaker 2: this as well and how much it means to them
Speaker 2: to be involved in this game on Monday. So everyone's
Speaker 2: doing their bit.
Speaker 1: Jered, everyone, players.
Speaker 2: Administrations, mcg Melbourne, Collingwood. Come on, fans, get there, get
Speaker 2: a lot to that game by yourself. For Beanie. You
Speaker 2: can buy digital Beanie as well if you can't get
Speaker 2: there and you want to contribute still and you have
Speaker 2: your name recognized. But let's feel this ground on Monday
Speaker 2: in a big, big way. And I know for Neil
Speaker 2: it would be something that Philly's heart. So that's what
Speaker 2: we want to achieve, So let's do it.
Speaker 1: What are Tuesday favorites? That is all right? More of
Speaker 1: that Tomorrow night as well. Let's get into the agenda.
Speaker 1: And James Cicily is injured as had been widely suspected
Speaker 1: and speculated upon and has seemed perfectly obvious watching him
Speaker 1: play in recent weeks. The Hawks skipper was struggling. The
Speaker 1: medical decision was taken today to put him on ice.
Speaker 1: As it were, he won't play again before at least
Speaker 1: round sixteen. Despite the protestations of last week.
Speaker 7: His groins are fine, He's going to are fine, fine,
Speaker 7: he's playing every week. There's no reason that he's kicking
Speaker 7: has anything to do with this groins. He's going to
Speaker 7: are fine, and he kicked the ball reasonably well last week.
Speaker 7: I thought, go watch all of his kicks and tell
Speaker 7: me which ones you thought he could do better.
Speaker 1: Bring me back, show me some vision. But I'm really
Speaker 1: with how he's kicking.
Speaker 7: I can get you all the kicks that he's done
Speaker 7: that hardly anyone else in the competition can pull off,
Speaker 7: and he's on them over the last month. So the
Speaker 7: kicking is that that is a storm in a tea cup.
Speaker 1: I've seen this for decades when the clubs actually do
Speaker 1: themselves any favors. In this moment, it has been perfectly
Speaker 1: obvious watching James sicily that he is not the player
Speaker 1: that he is capable and has previously been.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it makes it. I think it makes them
Speaker 2: look a bit silly. Let's be kind and generous. You
Speaker 2: can go a bit harder if you want, but it
Speaker 2: just as you say. This has been part of the
Speaker 2: wrestle for clubs for a long long time, but even
Speaker 2: back when I was playing, do you say? And then
Speaker 2: in the end what happens is you don't do the
Speaker 2: player justice because Sam goes out and defends him because
Speaker 2: he thinks he's doing the right thing as the coach,
Speaker 2: and then he goes and has six touches and can't run,
Speaker 2: and then you know he We are on Tuesday going,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I know what we said, but it's fired
Speaker 2: up post the Collingwood game. We all know what's going on.
Speaker 2: So I don't think it does the club or the
Speaker 2: player any good. I think being open and transparent is
Speaker 2: probably the best way. I don't have to tell everyone,
Speaker 2: but there's no harm in saying, look, yeah, he's struggling
Speaker 2: with whatever. We're going to keep playing him because we
Speaker 2: think we can get him through. But you know, if
Speaker 2: it comes a time where he needs the rest, he
Speaker 2: needs the rest, and then today we would have went, well,
Speaker 2: fair enough, you did your best. But yeah, we talked
Speaker 2: last night. We don't have to go back over it,
Speaker 2: but under siege, deflect, deny, defy you no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: Now they come out today and concede, confess and be
Speaker 2: can try it. It's just a bit chilly.
Speaker 1: So there are two big games, are they The buyer
Speaker 1: is still a little way off for them, and they've
Speaker 1: got the Bulldogs and adelaide knowing that the set of
Speaker 1: games that they've lost to the contenders with two more
Speaker 1: to come, so there's no under estimating what he's.
Speaker 2: There's not, so they're going to have to bring in
Speaker 2: back up out of the VFL. The players have been
Speaker 2: looking for a chance, so this says they not becomes
Speaker 2: enormous again. So we can't wait for it to come around.
Speaker 2: But hasn't been as we said, it hasn't been a
Speaker 2: great week for him, but it's not disastrous. They can
Speaker 2: get it. They can get it right from him.
Speaker 1: Hip and abdominal issues or what's been declared. Everyone thinks
Speaker 1: it's groin so one day, one day know for sure.
Speaker 1: The most emotional scenes at the weekend emanated out of
Speaker 1: the Giants and callen Ward one of the most admired
Speaker 1: veterans in the game. We all watched this and feared
Speaker 1: the worst, and the worst was relays to Cal yesterday
Speaker 1: when he met with the surgeon. It is an ACL,
Speaker 1: so this had set up as one more dash out
Speaker 1: at the family had moved back to Melbourne. He would
Speaker 1: stay and play his footy with the Giants. It had
Speaker 1: tremendously emotional impacts on all who saw it, from the
Speaker 1: crowd to his teammates, initially for worse and then for better.
Speaker 1: We asked Callen Ward if he'd prepared to join us tonight,
Speaker 1: and he is one of the great men of football
Speaker 1: and he has accepted that. Cal. It's great to have
Speaker 1: you with us on three sixty. Thanks a lot, Thanks
Speaker 1: guys for.
Speaker 5: Having me on.
Speaker 1: Hey go, how are you going? I reckon, it's the question.
Speaker 1: I'm not too bad. I'm pretty good.
Speaker 5: I'm here in Melbourne with the family, which is always nice.
Speaker 5: They got the news yesterday, which I knew was coming
Speaker 5: anyway on New Astralia. I've done the OCL so to
Speaker 5: par disappoint him, but at the same time, I'm happy
Speaker 5: to be here and I just move on from it now.
Speaker 1: How are your spirits? Yeah, spirits very okay.
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed, obviously, I'm angry. I'm sad, I'm you know, emotional,
Speaker 5: probably hasn't quite hit me yet, but I'm just flat
Speaker 5: that I can't help the boys. And you know, I've
Speaker 5: always wanted to play in a Premiership and that's probably
Speaker 5: been taken away from me a little bit unless I
Speaker 5: go on after this, which I'm not sure. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm flat about all that. But at the same time,
Speaker 5: I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had for a
Speaker 5: long time. And I've been one of the you know
Speaker 5: one I like you ones where I've played over three
Speaker 5: hundred games, I've played for eight en years.
Speaker 2: So I'm so grateful for that.
Speaker 3: Cow.
Speaker 2: I feel for you too, mate, we're thinking of you.
Speaker 2: Can you tell take us back to the decision to
Speaker 2: play on because it's been reported your family comes back
Speaker 2: to Melbourne, maybe that you were going to follow and
Speaker 2: cool time on what's been an outstanding career. But there
Speaker 2: you are up in Sydney with your family back here.
Speaker 2: It's a big commitment. How did that come about?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we decided to do the long distance on the
Speaker 5: back of Ruby's mum's a little bit sick, so she
Speaker 5: wanted to spend some time with her and look after
Speaker 5: her in Melbourne, which was always going to happen, and
Speaker 5: take the kids.
Speaker 4: So when we.
Speaker 5: Spoke about doing the long distance, we knew that be
Speaker 5: challenges with that, but it's something that Ruby really encouraged
Speaker 5: me to do. And obviously I love playing football and
Speaker 5: everyone says you're a long time retired, so you try
Speaker 5: and play for as long as you can. And obviously
Speaker 5: the pursuit of a premiership is really important to me
Speaker 5: as well as my family, So to make both things
Speaker 5: work has been really important for me. And yeah, it's great,
Speaker 5: really well up until this point. So yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: that's the reason that we get in the first place.
Speaker 5: And it's all been good so far until.
Speaker 2: Emotional Yeah, till now of course the emotional scenes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when you did your need, then the lucky whitfield and
Speaker 2: then tell us about the three quarter time comes around
Speaker 2: and you're sitting there, your whole footy mortality is in
Speaker 2: front of you, Your career may or may not be over,
Speaker 2: and yet you find the strength and selflessness to step
Speaker 2: up and address the playing group. Can you give us
Speaker 2: some sort of an insight into how it come about
Speaker 2: and what you said?
Speaker 5: Oh, well, I've kind of learned from my years that
Speaker 5: it's really important for any injured player to be really positive,
Speaker 5: especially on the bench, because it's heartbreaking for the rest
Speaker 5: of the team to see injured players on the bench,
Speaker 5: and I guess especially a player in my position who's
Speaker 5: probably the very end of his career. So, you know,
Speaker 5: for me, I was telling myself to be really positive
Speaker 5: and to be you know, a good, you know, seanding
Speaker 5: board on the bench if I need to be for
Speaker 5: the team that was playing, for the players who were playing,
Speaker 5: so first and foremost that was my role for the
Speaker 5: you know, for the day after I was injured, and
Speaker 5: that was really important to me. And then the three
Speaker 5: quarter time stuff is on the back of the conversation
Speaker 5: I had with King, as he just said, it's really
Speaker 5: important that I might speak to the boys, I might
Speaker 5: lean on you for a little speech to the boys.
Speaker 5: So I kind of had something in the back of
Speaker 5: my head.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, King has.
Speaker 5: Kind of told me the key messaging, So it's pretty simple.
Speaker 5: It's about playing our role and as I said, just
Speaker 5: be really positive person, you know, in that group. And
Speaker 5: I think that was the most important for me on
Speaker 5: the day.
Speaker 1: I wondered how you went watching the response is at
Speaker 1: home and then we workshopped this last night. Is if
Speaker 1: there ever was a group of players in the moment
Speaker 1: who showed a leader what he had meant to them,
Speaker 1: it was the way they responded to you, was it?
Speaker 1: How did you take the last quarter?
Speaker 4: In?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: They were amazing.
Speaker 5: They obviously made me look very good, But it had
Speaker 5: nothing to do with what I said.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 5: It was just the way they played, and I think
Speaker 5: I think Richmond probably stopped in that last quarter. You know,
Speaker 5: they were pretty fatigued, and we started to play some
Speaker 5: good football. So we just started to take the game on,
Speaker 5: which is what we know. We're you know, we're good, Adam.
Speaker 5: We hadn't done that for a long time, so I
Speaker 5: guess the boys turned on in the last quarter. So
Speaker 5: I can take a little bit of the credit, but
Speaker 5: definitely not.
Speaker 1: Much of it. When we have the surgery, what have
Speaker 1: you decided at the moment.
Speaker 5: I had a meeting with Julian Feller, surgeon yesterday. Just
Speaker 5: had to scan yesterday as well. So at the moment,
Speaker 5: the needs through swollen to operate on it. So I've
Speaker 5: got to give it a couple of weeks. I'll be
Speaker 5: oly laying low here in Malbourne. I think we're booked
Speaker 5: on the seventeen Stoning.
Speaker 1: Two weeks time to just convention, nothing, nothing radical, just.
Speaker 5: Conventional and I'm not doing the large round.
Speaker 1: It was funny when I went down, I kind.
Speaker 5: Of thought like we were we up during the season
Speaker 5: straight away, I'm like around thirtey and how long we
Speaker 5: got to go?
Speaker 2: But I knew that.
Speaker 5: Time had run out of it. You know, we've only
Speaker 5: got three three months left, so it wasn't possible.
Speaker 2: And you and it's the wrong time to ask, but
Speaker 2: beyond this year, you just got to have the surgery
Speaker 2: and make that decision.
Speaker 1: Then, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5: I mean, going on this year, the plan was to
Speaker 5: play one more and give myself the best chance for
Speaker 5: a premiership and that hasn't happened. So I guess I
Speaker 5: really haven't really had much time to think about what
Speaker 5: my next move I need.
Speaker 1: I just want to have the surgery and.
Speaker 5: Have some time with the found and started to think
Speaker 5: about things after that. But yeah, I think most important
Speaker 5: to me now is you have the surgery, look after
Speaker 5: the knaby of the family and then get back to
Speaker 5: the club and be there.
Speaker 2: For the boys. Well whatever happens. Mate, There's a whole
Speaker 2: football public and community that are so supportive. And I
Speaker 2: said this last night that all we can hope for
Speaker 2: is a footballer as you walk away from the game,
Speaker 2: whether it be now, next year or the year after,
Speaker 2: with the respect and know that you've given it everything.
Speaker 2: And there are few that have been the embodiment of
Speaker 2: that more than you. I think so from everyone, congratulations
Speaker 2: and hope everything goes well. From a surgical point of view.
Speaker 2: You've got a big, long life to live. Maybe a
Speaker 2: coaching waiting after the response to your three quarters speech,
Speaker 2: and we admire and respect you enormously, mate, I.
Speaker 5: Really appreciate that. Boys, thank you very much. So I
Speaker 5: will just say quickly, I want to thank the whole
Speaker 5: football world, the AFON community, the Giants, other players from
Speaker 5: other teams, my family and friend as well. The outpouring
Speaker 5: has been absolutely amazing. They've made me feel very special
Speaker 5: and very proud over the last few days. I thank
Speaker 5: you everyone that's been there for me and it's been awesome,
Speaker 5: and thank you for your words.
Speaker 1: So appreciate it. Good on you callim a bards with
Speaker 1: us Tonight's really appreciate that, all right? Yeah? What a
Speaker 1: good man, what a good man? All right? Thursday night
Speaker 1: is going to be a furnace. Just say Friday night,
Speaker 1: Friday night, Friday night is going to be a fernace.
Speaker 1: When Adelaide the the Lion's meet, so he thought, let's
Speaker 1: stoke the furnace up right now.
Speaker 4: You're going tag.
Speaker 2: Lucky Neil or here mccluggyacha Anxy.
Speaker 1: Yes we will, I said, I'll try. What are you bringing,
Speaker 1: big o back? Face?
Speaker 3: Can't tell you, Jared, I don't like our boys taking
Speaker 3: dives like that in the stage we've spoken through.
Speaker 2: Oh come on my copper fifteen Josh Shelley.
Speaker 1: For that, there's a line.
Speaker 3: There's a really fine line with it. I mean, if
Speaker 3: Josh've got a free kick on that one, there was definitely,
Speaker 3: you know, pushing the chest. We've talked about, you know,
Speaker 3: what levels we want to be and what sort of
Speaker 3: team we want to be areas that we value going forward.
Speaker 3: So we'll just keep working our way through those small
Speaker 3: things and no one's perfect, guys.
Speaker 4: In my time at the club, this is our best
Speaker 4: start to a year at round twelve. Now we're tracking
Speaker 4: pretty well given the fact that it was you know,
Speaker 4: a shortened pre season we had a lot of surgeries
Speaker 4: and things like that. I'm sort of a little bit
Speaker 4: surprised or actually where we are at the moment.
Speaker 1: Insufficient in ten.
Speaker 3: So this is the out of bounds, deliberate out of
Speaker 3: bounds in the SNFL. Here it's last possession out of
Speaker 3: bounds and it works, and so at the moment, I
Speaker 3: have no idea what the decision will be.
Speaker 4: One of my pet hates in the game, Gary is
Speaker 4: the signs that we hold up at the side of
Speaker 4: the oble to sort of signify with various plays and
Speaker 4: how long was left in the game. Honestly, it's a
Speaker 4: dog's breakfast.
Speaker 3: That our guys watched a lot of their footing. It's
Speaker 3: one thing to know how they play, it's another thing
Speaker 3: to stop them doing what they do really well. That'll
Speaker 3: be the big one for us Friday and night. Can
Speaker 3: we match it with the best? So we can't wait
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 4: We've been out to play a lot of these big
Speaker 4: games over the last five or six years, so we're
Speaker 4: experienced in that regard. But this is one of the
Speaker 4: biggest challenges that we've had in a while.
Speaker 2: Corner from the old world sport days, there are to
Speaker 2: get to lower them ATACKI and the Valentine chocolates.
Speaker 1: All right, what have you got for real or overreaction? Here?
Speaker 1: Friday is the biggest game in Matthew Nick's rain.
Speaker 2: I think that's real, Jared, I think they want this.
Speaker 2: They came to the MCG I did this game a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago that five points down at halftime,
Speaker 2: they were in the contest, got opened up a little
Speaker 2: bit in the back half and then kicked the last
Speaker 2: two goals close to ten points that are coming again.
Speaker 2: So they want this chance against the reigning premiers. And
Speaker 2: that is real and I can't wait to see it
Speaker 2: unfold for you, as was floated there by Nixy last
Speaker 2: touch would make life easier for everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's real. So this is the natural
Speaker 1: evolution of where we're going with in sufficient intent between
Speaker 1: the arts and the best bit is there's this huge
Speaker 1: body of work that exists in the sanfl It needs
Speaker 1: to be studied, those who implemented it, those who police it,
Speaker 1: and then what is the impact of it. But from
Speaker 1: where we are with anything off the axis, anything skewed,
Speaker 1: and then Titan and Titan, and we want the ball
Speaker 1: in flow that's been the edict. This does make sense,
Speaker 1: and there's not many rule changes that are so laid
Speaker 1: out in front of us to make it.
Speaker 2: Anyway. And it's between the arcs is the key to this.
Speaker 2: Anything outside of that, we can still have the good
Speaker 2: old fashioned boundary throwing.
Speaker 1: Beach sessions are the answer.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, pushing, Absolutely, I'm waiting for you to have a
Speaker 2: bad night that hasn't happened in the last eight years.
Speaker 2: And when you do, I'm going to whip you down
Speaker 2: our wood beach cart you out in the dickstickers and
Speaker 2: get you into the option. See how you go on
Speaker 2: the back of that. See if that can't just sharpen
Speaker 2: you up a little bit. So they got out of
Speaker 2: there at about twelve o'clock on the on the night of
Speaker 2: the game, and they're at the beach by five or
Speaker 2: six in the morning. So you know, it's it's old fashioned.
Speaker 2: I'm all for it, Jared, anything to try and break
Speaker 2: the cycle. I think they did the push ups and
Speaker 2: the sit ups and the whole box and dice.
Speaker 1: I love the Kennedy's can finish.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry some ut for my ears more thanks him
Speaker 2: and the sur wangon a Miller's signature is more crucial.
Speaker 1: Than Tom daconey. Oh, this is an overreaction because, just
Speaker 1: like everyone else, I'm assuming they've already got the Tom
Speaker 1: dacone in committed.
Speaker 2: I'm parking T d K. Surely, aren't you.
Speaker 1: I think they've got him. They got him. So their
Speaker 1: bird in the hands to my eye, isn't Wangony Miller,
Speaker 1: it's actually td CA. And what's the bigger bird. Well,
Speaker 1: they're paying for the bigger bird at one point seven.
Speaker 1: They're not given Wangony Miller at one point seven.
Speaker 2: They've got to make sure they've got enough left over
Speaker 2: because they don't want to lose.
Speaker 1: Our players are about to join us, Darcymore and Harry McKay.
Speaker 1: We're thrilled to have them together here at the desk
Speaker 1: in the studio, the Pies and the Blues represented with
Speaker 1: all that's happening for the players in Putting right now
