1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: North Melbourne, decimated by injury for the centenary match tomorrow 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: nights and facing the Bulldogs lineup that has been merciless 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: in such circumstances. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: I walked down memory Lane. Sim Old Horse revealed the 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 2: Dennis Pagan game plan that captured the ninety nine Premiership 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: and the man the Yanks of dub the great Barrier thief, 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: fully loving basketball sensation. Dyson Daniels is with us at 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: the desk. 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: We talked about his step into it in brace all 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 3: of it in the room and rent it. It's unedifying 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 3: for a senior coach to do that. 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: They're on the side of Courtia with the brain cape, 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: the man on They played the best footy I've ever 14 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: seen at the start of the season and insid president 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: left the cup. 16 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 3: I order said, of course they do. Is the stuff 17 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 3: that legends are made of. 18 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 4: What is holding the ball? 19 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 5: I don't think I could answer it clearly right now 20 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 5: that I could do something. 21 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 3: Wrong, you know, and I need to get from the board. 22 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Sexual me the fans lover and with no fans, no 23 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: through sixty year old got merchandise for you everywhere. Jordie 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: Libber's two hundred and fiftieth scarf. I feel like this 25 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: is choice. Every Kangaroos fan's gonna want the elephant on 26 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: the Arden Street. 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a Barry Cheatly. 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: I love that thing. 29 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: It's I know Barry. I was at Barry's funeral and 30 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: the family quite well. 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: That was his idea. 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: I think the least expected piece of football memorabilia is 33 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the Chris Scott bubblehead to mark his three hundred and 34 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: fiftieth game in charge of the Cats. George Clooney how many, 35 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: if depends how many they can move at the shop 36 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: at the cab Shop. He's sixth all time on the 37 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: most games at one club, so Jock McHale, Kevin Sheety, 38 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: Dick Reynolds, Alistair Clarkson, David Parkin and Chris Scott, and 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: he's bound to pass at least the next couple on 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: that list. And he's already gone past Alan Jeans and 41 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: Norm Smith, which gives you an idea. 42 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: None of those who've got a bubblehead, None of those 43 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: who've got a bubblehead. 44 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: So he's in front of that category right long enough 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: they get a bubble he'd be quite happy with that. 46 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: I think I'm not sure. 47 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Coming up our coaches, John longman Adam Simpson with as 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Dison Daniels our special guest tonight. He's in Marlwn Tiger 49 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: loving basketball sensation that he is the teams and there's 50 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: many a story to tell for tomorrow night in the Teams, 51 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: then First Crack Preview, take the Deep Dive. All eighteen 52 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: teams are back in action mercifully. So a night towards 53 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Round seventeen. D Day Jordan for Ossie Broadband set us up. 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've gone the Giants this week, Jerdy, for a 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: few reasons. I think it's been well documented the ladder 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: situation and the Giants are probably the last side that 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: are hanging on in in equals seventh. They sit ninth 58 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: on the ladder but equals seventh with Western Bulldogs and 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: the gold Co Sons. So each of those three sides 60 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: play three the top eight sides on their run home 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: five of the bottom ten sides. 62 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: So these are the games you need to go on 63 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: the road. And when the. 64 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: Vision here is from an amazing comeback when they played 65 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: the gold Co Sons prior to them having a buy 66 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: old final term, so can that carry that momentum over 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: to the West when they're missing a whole heap of stars, 68 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: superstars in this football side in terms of Hogan, Whitfield, wards, 69 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: out out, injured, Taylor Daniels. 70 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: This is a game they cannot drop. 71 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: So the points are important and percentage matters a lot 72 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: to them. 73 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well absolutely, especially when you compare them to the 74 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: other sides. I think Dogs are around one thirty gold 75 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: Coaster sort of one twenties, but the Giants are sitting 76 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: about one nine or one eight, so it's just they 77 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: just need a bank to four points. 78 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: You're right. 79 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: It's a Friday night doubleheader, so I'll go to the 80 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: other side of it is Carlton, So there's lots of 81 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: different reasons. There's no escaping the bright lights is there. 82 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: They're back on Friday night footy. The exposition has been 83 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: pretty brutal in recent times. They're searching for a purpose, 84 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: which they'll need to quickly find. There's a chance to 85 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: make a stand and a stand against the oldest of rivals. 86 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Can that muster something better than this. I'm sure they'll 87 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: be better than this, and they'll need to be quite obviously, 88 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: because the benchmark team is Collinwood. 89 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: But it's going to be a huge crowd. 90 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: It's a fully ticketed game, and we know how that 91 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: lives in the stands. Can they live up to it? 92 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: Can they rise of it when nobody will give them 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: a chance? 94 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,559 Speaker 3: Nobody? 95 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: What's that worth inside the four walls? 96 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the most intriguing game for the first 97 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: quarter for me. They've been good in first quarters, Carlton. 98 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: Can they try and replicate that form to keep themselves 99 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: in this game and just keep the fallout of what 100 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: has been in and around that football club a little 101 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: bit more stable for a week. 102 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: Friday night doubleheader makes sense in some ways with the 103 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: second game in Perth, I just feel like we've stolen 104 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: defeat from the jaws of victory with the scheduling. So 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: the MCG game starts at seven twenty and the Perth 106 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: game starts at eight ten fifteen minutes, that's six ten 107 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: in Perth. You could have given Perth a chopout in 108 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: these circumstances and pushed it till seven twenty as well 109 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: and opened up a big gap between the two games, 110 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: so we could have watched at. 111 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: Least the second half. 112 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: Captive audience on Friday night is huge just to go 113 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: from one game or the other. They're jammed too close 114 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: together at fifteen. Did you know why, Well, it's the 115 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: consistency of the six to ten timeslot on a Friday night, 116 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: except they didn't need to be consistent. The East Coast 117 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: is totally sorted. Just push it back to either seven 118 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: twenty seven forty or even eight ten local time. We'll 119 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: be fine on the East Coast. We'll finish with the 120 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: other game and flick over. It's two jammed. I don't 121 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: dispute the idea. 122 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: At all, but that is two jammed. I mean it. 123 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: It really defeats the purpose of having two games on 124 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: a Friday night. I just can't, for the life of me, 125 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: think why these two games would overlap by considerable margins. 126 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: I think rugby league. 127 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: Yeh, rugby league do it well, one game into the 128 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: next game and then you can you can capture the 129 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: audience for two games. 130 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: Or again, it is too long to go one into 131 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: the other. But there was definitely a way in Perth 132 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: use the time zone to your advantage rather than your disadvantage, 133 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: instead of rushing everyone in that six ten Perth time 134 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: anywayst Year, feed from the jaws of victory, get into 135 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: the agenda and it is a ceremonial night sat Marvel 136 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: on a Thursday. It marks one hundred years of North 137 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Melbourne in the vfl AFL. It gives us a chance 138 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: to think back on all that the club has given 139 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: the league and how it has prospered through the years. 140 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: Oh no breath around the boundary line, don't drop it. 141 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: Really what they've got a pretty predcare. 142 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: Of whole on it our chance on Thursday night to 143 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: pay tribute to our forefathers that have worn the. 144 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 3: Guernsey, has shaped the club so much and they've passed 145 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: out onto us and. 146 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 5: Tempery custodians just looking after the club as best we 147 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 5: possibly can before we passed under the nast. 148 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: A pretty moving moment, brilliant exact. 149 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 5: It is a privilege for our club to be involved in. 150 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: In North hundred year anniversary game. 151 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 5: We'll head to the stadium with that awareness. 152 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: That's a pretty special life for the Kangaroos. The Kangars 153 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: have won to four. The dremanship worked out, Jazz Pagan. 154 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: You deserve everything you've got today and third is your time. 155 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: So I've been around the club, but in terms of 156 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: reconnecting with the pass is pretty special. 157 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: So I think we'll see something that on Thursday night. 158 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 5: We've got no doubt that there'll be plenty of stimulus 159 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 5: for the Kangaroos boys, you know, to meet us head 160 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 5: on in that first quarter, so we've got to be 161 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 5: prepared for it. 162 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: But we're really looking forward to the challenge same we 163 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: are going to revel with Semo and Horse. 164 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: Historically shortly the game itself Jordan, So Thursday night on 165 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: a five day break has done the Kangas no favors. 166 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: They have been hit by injury. 167 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: We sort of flagged that with Elistair Clarks and it 168 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: hasn't got much better. Sheesel got there, but nobody else did, 169 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: so there are five changes. McDonald, Parker, Darling, Wardlaw and 170 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Fisher has been managed. So they're all out Mainlee, Deurzmer, 171 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 1: Scott Phillips and Cooper Harvey. 172 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: So this is a lovely piece of symmetry. 173 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: The son of the game's record holder who's played three 174 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: games back in twenty twenty three, he's going to be 175 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: there for the show piece occasion. And the Bulldogs have 176 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: been hit by a bit of illness. They've got three changes, 177 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: a couple of them forced Davidson and Harms. Both ill 178 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: and Karmas has been omitted having played as the sub 179 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: Duray Garcia and Poulter. The Bulldogs are unbeaten against bottom 180 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: nine teams. They have decimated in some of them, so 181 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: the Kings are going to have to find something otherworldly. 182 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, this is going to be huge tasks, 183 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. That's a lot of experience 184 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: that goes out of his side from their previous match, 185 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: which you know you don't want leading into these games. 186 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: But I think, I think the stuff that surround these games, 187 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: it's more about celebrating the week. So take the week 188 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: to celebrate, take. 189 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 3: The pregame to celebrate. 190 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: Yes, if North Melbourne can be competitive during the game, 191 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: that's that's a big tick. And you know all the 192 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: fans that go to this game would be pleased with that. 193 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: It's a huge task. 194 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: You can't deny that fact. So enjoy soak it up 195 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: every bit of the of the celebrations that happened throughout 196 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: the week. 197 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 3: I mean I watched a lot of Friday night footy. 198 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: Meaning from the country, it was really the only game 199 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: you watched. So this was a famous a famous football club. 200 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: The history is so rich and some of those memories 201 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: we show before really vivid for me, even though I'm a. 202 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: Collingwood supporter and was a Collingwood sporters. 203 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: And the dogs have got their own with livers two 204 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: fiftieth term on or one of their favorite sons, so 205 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: they'll be Luke Beverige will be able to get something 206 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: out of that to combat what's coming the other way, 207 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: and we'll probably cross our fingers and hope that we 208 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: get some sort of spectacle. And you're right, we'll revel 209 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: in what happens beforehand and probably what happens afterwards, and 210 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of trepidation for the game itself. 211 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 3: I reckon the side of things. So this has become 212 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: macarb almost. 213 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: It's Dello's humor. It's a sick joke the level of 214 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: injury that the Bombers are enduring. We know what happened 215 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: during the by training session with three players with soft 216 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: tissue injuries and another one sent for scans today. If 217 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: it didn't make you laugh, it'd make you cry. 218 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 5: Well clearly, club why I do a lot of work 219 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 5: and investigation into what's happening, as all clubs do on 220 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 5: a regular basis, and we do that as an ongoing 221 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 5: matter of process. 222 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: What does an investigation entail though, is that sort of 223 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: into high performance. 224 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 5: No, it's not an investigation as I use the word investigation, 225 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 5: but it's like we're always investigating. We investigate postgame, we 226 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 5: investigate the way we play, we investigate our processes. You know, 227 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 5: whenever there's an injury, you know, we investigate the causes 228 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 5: of that. 229 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: So Zach Reid was the latest today to be sent 230 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: for cautionary scans on a hamstring after training session, and 231 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: that has a really serious edge with him. But we're 232 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: about to put the list up and will disappear behind it. 233 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean it is a crisis stage. 234 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly not what you want as a coach. 235 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: And a lot of those as you can see either 236 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: up and coming players who just need to get continuity 237 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: and games into them before they can be a serious 238 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: football team. 239 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 3: So that hurts. 240 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: They've used forty players this year, which is the most 241 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: in the AFL. They sit third on the injury list. 242 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: The've lost one hundred and twenty six games through injury. 243 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: So you add those two things up, it's really hard 244 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: to compete at the top level when you are a 245 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: young and relatively inexperienced team. So yeah, I think you know, 246 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: when injuries keep piling up like they do, there has 247 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: to be an inquiry is such into why these players 248 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: have managed and the training facilities and what they do externally. 249 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: Everything that a professional athlete needs to go right needs 250 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: to be looked at. 251 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't let it become self defeating, because right 252 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: now it is self defeating. So yeah, whatever is to 253 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: be found needs to be and they are going to 254 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: endure this for the rest of the season. 255 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: It's not a season. 256 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: They were going to rise sharply and they've got their 257 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: cachet of draft picks, so perversely it probably suits them 258 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: in the draft wherever they land. He's coached the ears 259 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: off them all year to get the wins that they have, 260 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens next. You said here last night, 261 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: we'd been told about the umpire contacts crackdown, and we 262 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: explored the implications of that. Your instincts are dead right 263 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: talking to clubs around the competition today. Just my radio 264 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: producer Oli today likened it to suddenly attaching Demerit points 265 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: to parking fines with no warning and then applying them retrospectively. 266 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: So the little sequence of events is in September at 267 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: the rules summit which clubs and players were invited to. 268 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: Those from Clubland when confronted with this said, fines won't work. 269 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: You need to pay free kicks. There was a reticence 270 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: and guess what. The finds didn't work. And now we've 271 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: watched the numbers spike. But those who are coppying the 272 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: fines will tell you it's because. 273 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: The threshold has lowered. And then we went back through. 274 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: So he showed you the names last night we went back. 275 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: So these are the players who are in instant jeopardy. 276 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: There are nine of them having completed the work. Matt 277 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: row George Shewitt, Jack McCrae, Jordan Dawson, Zach Butter's, Harley Reid, 278 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: Adam Cherer, Willem Drew and Hunter Clark. 279 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: So midfield bulls in the most part. And then we looked, 280 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: so what is the threshold and this is the one 281 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: we found you you might not have seen, you've seen it. 282 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: So this is Matt Rowl and Toby Green. You play 283 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: the game at home and work out who got fined 284 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: for this. 285 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: Top of screen, So Unpire steps on Toby Green's foot, 286 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: gold Coaster awarded the free kick, and this is Matt 287 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: Row's umpire contact, which means he's got a fourth umpire 288 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: contact and a five thousand dollars fine. So when you 289 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 2: speak about the threshold, that is not what I think 290 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: umpire contact is. Firstly, he didn't even contact. He didn't 291 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 2: push Toby Green. 292 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: Into the umpire. 293 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: So there's so much wrong with that particular instance from 294 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: my point of view, and the clubs and players have 295 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 2: got absolute right, I think, to be angered by this 296 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: one because of the surprising nature. 297 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: But to the. 298 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: Threshold that doesn't warrant maybe a free kick, but certainly 299 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 2: not a fine and a potential suspension. Once again, I'll 300 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: go back to it. If this happens on prelim final 301 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: and the threshold is at that level and he misses 302 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: a Grand Final because of that, we don't let it 303 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: get to. 304 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: Believe that that couldn't happen. But this is the risk 305 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: and the oblique nature of what has been done. I 306 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: think there's a feeling that the AFL opened a schism 307 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: with its umpiring department through the events of Perth, which 308 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: they hopelessly mishandled, and this is a bit of This 309 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: has been a long term issue for the umpires and 310 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: it's serious for them. I think there's a fear you 311 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: think this is the AFL putting their arm around. 312 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry about what happens early on. 313 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: We've got this overdue issue which we're now going to confront. 314 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: But it's the players who get caught in it on 315 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: a low threshold, right all right, just before we get 316 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Simon and Horse to reminisce we did last night, Dom 317 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: Sheed's acknowledged he departs the game and Jeremy McGovern a 318 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and their premiership coach is Adam Simpson. 319 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: So a quick word here, welcome you go this Lethals. 320 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: He's got a throne. 321 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: You spoke so beautifully about Jeremy McGovern. What does Dom 322 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: Sheed mean to you? As the player who kicked the 323 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: bug goal? 324 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: I'm probably not sitting here without him, So a special 325 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: connection we got My first year was his first year. 326 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 4: So who's the first pick in the draft? Think pick 327 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: eleven in the thirteen draft. I've been there for two months, 328 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 4: so no real idea about the draft and the talent 329 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 4: coming through. So and sometimes we lean towards wa selections 330 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: as well, So we pick up Dom as a wasn't 331 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: a smooth first three or four years. Actually in the 332 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 4: eighteen season was playing reserves football through form and after 333 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 4: what happened to gaffe when he got rubbed out for 334 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: eight weeks and had become a spot available for a 335 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: particular role and he came in and he never looked back. 336 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 4: So it would have been a really interesting discussion if 337 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: Gaffie was available coming into that game. 338 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: How good a kick is this? 339 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised, and I don't know why I was, 340 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: just He's kicked a lot of goals, probably from the 341 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: other side.
