1
00:00:00,409 --> 00:00:13,380
Speaker 1: This is Brownies Podcast! Welcome to.

2
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:17,450
Speaker 2: You're listening to Brownies Podcast. Oh, hey. Essential.

3
00:00:17,489 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, essential. Jonathan's here, Campbell's here, I'm here, Dino Brody's here.

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,900
Speaker 3: Back our internet person, our person of the internet.

5
00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:27,180
Speaker 4: We've been calling to an emergency meeting, an emergency podcast

6
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:28,060
Speaker 4: on a Wednesday.

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,740
Speaker 3: Jesus, you're loud.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,860
Speaker 5: It's been a big week in football.

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Yes.

10
00:00:31,180 --> 00:00:32,420
Speaker 5: It wouldn't hold till Friday.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: No, for several reasons. Obviously, Adam Simpson, he's a smaller

12
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,020
Speaker 2: part of the story, but... Campbell Brown was mentioned by

13
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: Guy McKenna, his former coach of the Gold Coast Suns.

14
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,020
Speaker 2: That's a big reason. Who found this audio?

15
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:44,909
Speaker 3: Who found this audio?

16
00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:47,990
Speaker 4: It got clipped up by the SEN social team.

17
00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:50,490
Speaker 5: Yeah, they took great delight in it.

18
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:52,110
Speaker 2: What did you first think?

19
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:53,210
Speaker 5: I was worried.

20
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:53,970
Speaker 2: You were worried?

21
00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:54,270
Speaker 6: Yeah.

22
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:56,690
Speaker 2: When you heard that Guy McKenna was going on SEN

23
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:58,710
Speaker 2: to talk about his time in the Gold Coast Suns.

24
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,980
Speaker 4: I was a bit worried because, look, you know, my

25
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: football did its talking up there, but my 14-week suspension

26
00:01:04,459 --> 00:01:10,490
Speaker 4: in three seasons, a couple of, off field indiscretions in Thailand.

27
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:13,230
Speaker 4: And then, you know, the way I unsacrimoniously got sacked

28
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:13,810
Speaker 4: by the club.

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,449
Speaker 5: I didn't know where I stood.

30
00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:19,970
Speaker 2: Un-sacrimoniously got sacked by the club. Was it un-sacrimoniously or un-ceremoniously?

31
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:22,510
Speaker 2: You're on fire, John.

32
00:01:23,090 --> 00:01:27,050
Speaker 3: Un-sacrimoniously. We're definitely into this.

33
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:27,709
Speaker 2: Hell no.

34
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:28,650
Speaker 3: We're definitely not, though.

35
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:29,590
Speaker 2: Yeah, boys, I'm a bit nervous.

36
00:01:29,709 --> 00:01:30,030
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

37
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:33,140
Speaker 2: Like my debut as a boxing commentator tonight.

38
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: Do you really?

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: Yes, on my way up to see Big Barry Hall,

40
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: which we'll talk about. So that's going to be huge.

41
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: Hey, John, he's got to bring something tonight.

42
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: Yes.

43
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: That last one was not flash.

44
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: What did you like in a tooth? No, we can't...

45
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:46,430
Speaker 2: The presidential debate.

46
00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:48,530
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he was like Joe Biden in the debate.

47
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:50,590
Speaker 2: Against Tony Bill, yeah, he was.

48
00:01:50,650 --> 00:01:51,330
Speaker 3: Effective-less.

49
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:52,330
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got belted.

50
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:53,110
Speaker 3: Jesus.

51
00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 5: Can you use the word rope-a-dope tonight on air?

52
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to do my best. I'm going to

53
00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:01,860
Speaker 2: have plenty of opportunity, so... I'm the new Gus Mercurio.

54
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:04,630
Speaker 2: But Gus Mercurio, remember him? Yeah.

55
00:02:04,650 --> 00:02:07,650
Speaker 3: So you're commentating this whole broadcast. I get pay-per-view. It's

56
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:10,530
Speaker 3: like 69 bucks. And I'll hear my friend John commentate

57
00:02:10,570 --> 00:02:13,530
Speaker 3: how many fights? Five. Jesus.

58
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,870
Speaker 2: Well, I'm on the panel and then I think I'm

59
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:19,060
Speaker 2: commentating Big Baz versus Curtis Scott, who's a former Melbourne

60
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: Storm Premiership player.

61
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: And what are your credentials as a professional boxer?

62
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: Good question, Doug.

63
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,970
Speaker 2: I was knocked out three times at training. Yeah. No, well,

64
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:30,150
Speaker 2: my only claim to fame is my sister, Gabrielle. Oh, yeah.

65
00:02:30,169 --> 00:02:31,950
Speaker 2: She can box. Who's also a trauma nurse.

66
00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:32,250
Speaker 1: Gabs.

67
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,110
Speaker 2: How's this for irony? She's a trauma nurse, and she

68
00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:38,230
Speaker 2: won a Victorian state title. How good. In boxing. I

69
00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:40,330
Speaker 2: love boxing. You know, I've always been a fan. I

70
00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: grew up as a huge boxing fan, but looking forward

71
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: to that, just because Baz is fighting, and obviously... We

72
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,460
Speaker 2: had a history, obviously, playing against each other. He was

73
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,210
Speaker 2: a fantastic player. But big news, isn't it? Adam Simpson

74
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:54,429
Speaker 2: getting sacked. I'll tell you what, boys. It didn't have

75
00:02:54,450 --> 00:02:55,950
Speaker 2: to be Nostradamus to work that out.

76
00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:58,549
Speaker 3: Well, when you look at the raw numbers, give me

77
00:02:58,590 --> 00:02:59,750
Speaker 3: that number. Give me that figure.

78
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: Well, he's won eight out of the last 64 games. Yeah.

79
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:06,420
Speaker 4: I mean, we were talking about this at the exact

80
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:10,820
Speaker 4: time last year, and we're talking about West Coast Eagles

81
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: not being able to sack him because of the million-dollar-plus

82
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,140
Speaker 4: contract and the multiple years on his salary deal.

83
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: So they just got one more year out of it.

84
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,739
Speaker 5: They got one more year out.

85
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,620
Speaker 4: And I think West Coast Eagles progressed marginally this season.

86
00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:26,870
Speaker 4: I don't think they've gone backwards.

87
00:03:27,389 --> 00:03:29,389
Speaker 3: Jeez, we'd want two more wins, though, out of the year.

88
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:31,790
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the back of Elliot Yeo and Harley Reid

89
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:35,270
Speaker 2: fired up there for two or three weeks. But, yeah,

90
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: like the last couple of weeks, you think– It's just... Well,

91
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:41,750
Speaker 2: Simo has resigned. The fact that he brought his son

92
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,210
Speaker 2: to the Thursday press conference last week and he acknowledged

93
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,510
Speaker 2: that this might be my last press conference and then

94
00:03:46,790 --> 00:03:48,990
Speaker 2: he was even more resigned after the loss to Melbourne

95
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I thought he's gone. So I think when

96
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,660
Speaker 2: the record had been so bad and that club... It's

97
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,750
Speaker 2: a very powerful club. Proud as well. I can maybe

98
00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:02,290
Speaker 2: understand if it happened to a North Melbourne or a

99
00:04:02,350 --> 00:04:05,790
Speaker 2: struggling club who struggles financially, but this is the most powerful,

100
00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:11,150
Speaker 2: richest club in the land. They make money while they're sleeping.

101
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:14,690
Speaker 2: For them to just decline so poorly and be at

102
00:04:14,730 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: the bottom for the best part of three years, you

103
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:21,409
Speaker 2: need some separations. And you need some clean air and

104
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:25,130
Speaker 2: you need a new direction because clearly Simmo, no matter

105
00:04:25,170 --> 00:04:28,110
Speaker 2: how good he is tactically, clearly Simmo wasn't getting through

106
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:28,650
Speaker 2: to the group.

107
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: And there were player unrest. That is factually correct.

108
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: There's been murmurings and clubs can say, oh, no, you know,

109
00:04:34,820 --> 00:04:36,300
Speaker 4: but there were player unrest.

110
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: Right.

111
00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:39,790
Speaker 5: I think it had just all come to a head.

112
00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:43,650
Speaker 2: The board blinked last year. So the CEO wanted him gone.

113
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: He wanted a clean space. They were cleaning house with

114
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,940
Speaker 2: most of the other people, the key football people there.

115
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: The last two games, right. And the board overrided apparently

116
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Justin Langer. Yeah. Who's stuck fat and loyal man and

117
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,270
Speaker 2: obviously he'd have a close relationship with Adam Simpson.

118
00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:57,350
Speaker 7: He.

119
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:00,590
Speaker 2: He's on the West Coast Eagles board and he was

120
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:01,650
Speaker 2: keen for him to continue.

121
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 4: And the fact that Justin Langer went through the exact

122
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: same thing as well as a coach of the Australian

123
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: cricket team where the board listened to the players and

124
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:12,460
Speaker 4: they acted on him probably didn't sit in his.

125
00:05:12,339 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: Gut that well. So he went, no, hang on a second.

126
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: We don't answer to the players. We'll stick with our coach.

127
00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: The last two games, Hawks and then Melbourne, full strength team.

128
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: A lot of excitement as a fan. And then it

129
00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:26,909
Speaker 3: was just, we regressed back to that real dire time

130
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:29,620
Speaker 3: of last year. So I love Simmo.

131
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,340
Speaker 2: What is the fan thing?

132
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: Very grateful to Simmo for the time.

133
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 5: Premiership coach.

134
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: This is the right thing to do. Yeah.

135
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Tell you what, I'm not sure about the send-off though. Oh, man.

136
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:38,900
Speaker 3: We're going to unpack a lot.

137
00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll unpack a lot. But the front page of

138
00:05:41,420 --> 00:05:43,820
Speaker 2: the West Australian today, which is like the Herald Sun here.

139
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,810
Speaker 3: They're precks, man.

140
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:48,330
Speaker 2: Oh, jeez, that was brutal. So see you, Simmo, is

141
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:50,029
Speaker 2: the headline. And then it's got his.

142
00:05:50,370 --> 00:05:51,170
Speaker 3: Bingo card.

143
00:05:51,210 --> 00:05:53,729
Speaker 2: He's got a bingo card of his win losses. There

144
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:54,310
Speaker 2: was a lot of great dicks.

145
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:54,909
Speaker 3: For the last three years.

146
00:05:55,529 --> 00:05:57,570
Speaker 5: Hell of a lot of Red Crossers.

147
00:05:57,730 --> 00:06:00,210
Speaker 2: For a premiership coach to be sent off in that manner.

148
00:06:00,230 --> 00:06:02,830
Speaker 2: So obviously there's a fair bit of history there. As

149
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:04,350
Speaker 2: we heard in the press conference, didn't we?

150
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:06,290
Speaker 3: All right, so we'll get to this Woodcock guy.

151
00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:09,489
Speaker 2: Who do you know? Mitch Woodcock. He turns up apparently

152
00:06:09,529 --> 00:06:12,779
Speaker 2: to every West Coast Eagles press conference. And has been

153
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: drilling Simo with questions for the.

154
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,380
Speaker 5: Last few years. He's a hard journo. Trying to keep

155
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,050
Speaker 5: him accountable.

156
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:19,030
Speaker 3: You journos, get your hand off it. Do you know

157
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:21,630
Speaker 3: what I don't understand with you pricks? You're always going

158
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:23,630
Speaker 3: to be first to break the story. That's just the

159
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:26,510
Speaker 3: stupid little contest you're in. The greater football public don't

160
00:06:26,529 --> 00:06:29,510
Speaker 3: remember who broke a story first. And it makes you assholes.

161
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:32,859
Speaker 3: It makes you be not good people to get the

162
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:33,460
Speaker 3: first story.

163
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,990
Speaker 5: First is good if it is accurate and correct. It's

164
00:06:38,029 --> 00:06:39,130
Speaker 5: no good being first if you're wrong.

165
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:41,190
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you the public don't care who broke

166
00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:41,609
Speaker 3: it first.

167
00:06:41,770 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: No, but your job as a journo is to get information.

168
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: But your competitiveness is causing you to act like pricks.

169
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:51,380
Speaker 2: But that's because we live in the age of clickbait.

170
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:53,339
Speaker 3: But you don't have to do that.

171
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 5: You have to be accurate.

172
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,979
Speaker 3: You don't have to be a McClure wanker type.

173
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: That's why when I say that Dean Cox is going

174
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,900
Speaker 4: to coach the West Coast Eagles next year, you can

175
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,860
Speaker 4: take it as gospel.

176
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: We're going to get to Woodcock. But let's just see

177
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: how this thing started. So Don Pike, man, I don't

178
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,060
Speaker 3: think you've read the book.

179
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:07,609
Speaker 5: They weren't aligned.

180
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:10,630
Speaker 3: No, they weren't aligned. He starts it off like a

181
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: jovial 21st speech. He's just put a bullet in Simmo.

182
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:17,860
Speaker 3: He has to sit there. Just listen to the way

183
00:07:18,180 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: I'm full cringing when I hear this.

184
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,620
Speaker 7: What to say about Adam as coach of that footy club?

185
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 7: I first met Adam in 2014 as an energetic, passionate

186
00:07:29,730 --> 00:07:32,170
Speaker 7: coach coming across to take the club for the first time.

187
00:07:32,770 --> 00:07:37,270
Speaker 7: I was a an old retired player slash wannabe coach,

188
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:38,410
Speaker 7: and joined Simo.

189
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:42,309
Speaker 3: Simo, Pikey's going for this jovial, and Simo's going, put

190
00:07:42,410 --> 00:07:46,030
Speaker 3: a bullet in my head. This sucks.

191
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:48,330
Speaker 7: And that hasn't changed over his time.

192
00:07:48,430 --> 00:07:50,030
Speaker 3: You can hear Simo throughout it going.

193
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:53,929
Speaker 2: Oh, no, he's cringy. I'm not sure about that, Pikey.

194
00:07:53,970 --> 00:07:54,750
Speaker 3: Cringe, cringe, cringe.

195
00:07:54,910 --> 00:08:00,869
Speaker 2: And he was. Ironically, Pikey was. He started his AFL career. Sorry,

196
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:03,830
Speaker 2: his post-AFL career. To get back in, he made his

197
00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:05,570
Speaker 2: money in mining or whatever it was and wanted to

198
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:09,660
Speaker 2: get back into football. He was Simo's assistant coach at

199
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,100
Speaker 2: the West Coast Eagles at the start.

200
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:12,860
Speaker 3: All right, but this is the big one before we

201
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,390
Speaker 3: get to Woodcock. When Simo and Don Pike goes... It

202
00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:20,540
Speaker 3: infers that it's going to be a great send-off for Simmo.

203
00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:23,380
Speaker 3: Coach one more game. This is bad, man.

204
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,700
Speaker 7: We've requested that Adam to consider coaching the side for

205
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,700
Speaker 7: one final time this weekend. So as much as today

206
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:32,420
Speaker 7: is the announcement of the finish, we'd love Adam to

207
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 7: coach one more time come the weekend. Obviously, a significant

208
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:39,210
Speaker 7: event this weekend with Liam Ryan's 100th. With that said,

209
00:08:39,590 --> 00:08:40,290
Speaker 7: I'll hand over to Adam.

210
00:08:40,429 --> 00:08:40,890
Speaker 2: Thanks very much.

211
00:08:41,410 --> 00:08:43,089
Speaker 8: Yeah, we haven't made that call just yet, Pike, if

212
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:43,970
Speaker 8: I was going to coach.

213
00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:45,910
Speaker 2: This week, but... We'd like you to.

214
00:08:45,929 --> 00:08:46,150
Speaker 9: Yeah.

215
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:48,290
Speaker 3: Thanks, mate. Oh, my goodness.

216
00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:50,070
Speaker 2: We'd like you to. I know.

217
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,860
Speaker 5: Don't do this in front of people, you dick.

218
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:53,660
Speaker 3: Yeah.

219
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,340
Speaker 2: How is that not spoken about and not confirmed? Where's

220
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:56,939
Speaker 2: the dignity?

221
00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Mate.

222
00:08:57,940 --> 00:09:00,939
Speaker 2: Simo wasn't too happy with that. I'd be surprised, actually,

223
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: if he coached on Sunday. I just think there's too

224
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: much ill will.

225
00:09:04,059 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 5: I think it'd be nice, though.

226
00:09:05,660 --> 00:09:06,460
Speaker 2: I think it'd be nice.

227
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: It would be nice, but it's up to him.

228
00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's up to you. But I think he's certainly

229
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: scarred by the experience. Don Pike's... press conference there, or

230
00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:17,290
Speaker 2: his performance in the press conference reminds me of his

231
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:21,390
Speaker 2: press conference after the disastrous camp scenario. Remember for the

232
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:22,089
Speaker 2: Adelaide Crows?

233
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:22,770
Speaker 3: Guantanamo Bay.

234
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:23,170
Speaker 2: Yeah.

235
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:24,210
Speaker 3: Guantanamo Bay.

236
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:27,710
Speaker 2: Gitmo, gitmo. Yeah. Before he had to front the media. Yeah.

237
00:09:27,770 --> 00:09:29,170
Speaker 2: And he butchered that as well, so.

238
00:09:29,210 --> 00:09:31,730
Speaker 3: Notice he tried to sneak in Liam Ryan's hundredth to

239
00:09:31,770 --> 00:09:32,130
Speaker 3: sort of like.

240
00:09:32,309 --> 00:09:32,830
Speaker 2: I know.

241
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:33,309
Speaker 3: What was that?

242
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:34,190
Speaker 2: A bit of a diversion.

243
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:34,850
Speaker 3: What was that?

244
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:35,590
Speaker 2: Yeah, a diversion.

245
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:37,350
Speaker 6: I think it's time that we take Mikey away from

246
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,890
Speaker 6: the media facing him. I think he's better up behind

247
00:09:39,929 --> 00:09:41,390
Speaker 6: the scenes than he is front and back.

248
00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:42,890
Speaker 3: Stick to the hot coals, you psycho.

249
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:43,949
Speaker 2: Yeah.

250
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting one, isn't it?

251
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:51,460
Speaker 4: It's just every single coach, if they coach long enough,

252
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: doesn't matter how great you are, Bill.

253
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,770
Speaker 5: Belichick just got the bullet, right? They all get sacked.

254
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:59,770
Speaker 4: You hang around until you get sacked unless you are

255
00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: a coach genius like Paul Roos that takes a job

256
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,270
Speaker 4: as an interim for three or four years and then

257
00:10:07,330 --> 00:10:07,870
Speaker 4: walks away.

258
00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:10,209
Speaker 5: Dignity intact.

259
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:10,690
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.

260
00:10:11,150 --> 00:10:13,460
Speaker 5: And then other clubs go, hang on, yeah, Paul Roos,

261
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: we might get him again, right? You're always another chance.

262
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,819
Speaker 5: That's the best way to do it.

263
00:10:18,940 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

264
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,349
Speaker 3: Let's get to Woodcock. So you can hear Woodcock's question.

265
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:25,390
Speaker 3: The audio is not great, but he says something to

266
00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: the effect of, When did you know the time was up?

267
00:10:27,450 --> 00:10:27,590
Speaker 9: Yeah.

268
00:10:27,610 --> 00:10:31,490
Speaker 2: Can I just give you some context here? So obviously we're,

269
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:36,069
Speaker 2: most of us are in Victoria, but in WA, there's

270
00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:40,740
Speaker 2: always been this undertone of frustration from the media and

271
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,059
Speaker 2: from people in general, because you can't access the West

272
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:45,579
Speaker 2: Coast Eagles. They're so powerful. They're one of the most

273
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: powerful organizations in that state. So the access they give

274
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,930
Speaker 2: to the outside world, including the journalist, is quite limited

275
00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: in the access to the players. So, it's a source

276
00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:59,300
Speaker 2: of great frustration. And obviously it comes out in the media.

277
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: And Mitch Woodcock has obviously been like a dog with

278
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,459
Speaker 2: a bone and he has tried to hold Adam Simpson

279
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: to account. over the last three years and essentially asking

280
00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:10,660
Speaker 2: the questions that the public want to know. So you

281
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: can see why Simo, maybe not as, uh, warm towards Mitch.

282
00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: But also notice everyone else in the room, not a

283
00:11:17,059 --> 00:11:18,459
Speaker 3: lot of warmth for Woodcock.

284
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:25,590
Speaker 2: No, bloody Woodcock. Have a listen. Um, probably your 300th article.

285
00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:26,050
Speaker 6: Woodcock.

286
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:38,429
Speaker 5: Um, Snaps on.

287
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:41,070
Speaker 3: Snaps on.

288
00:11:41,150 --> 00:11:44,450
Speaker 8: Not really. It's what, you know, and you guys can

289
00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:47,090
Speaker 8: be cruel sometimes, really. I mean, you've got to keep

290
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:50,230
Speaker 8: that in check because we're human and we have families.

291
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:54,330
Speaker 8: So you want more access to our players. Treat them

292
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:58,540
Speaker 8: with a bit more respect would be a good start. But,

293
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 8: you know, you've got to do your job as well.

294
00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: And look, they're good words, but you.

295
00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:06,179
Speaker 4: When you've got a public profile in anything in life,

296
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: in particular in a state that's obsessed with football, you've

297
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: got to take the good with the bad. So when

298
00:12:11,780 --> 00:12:13,700
Speaker 4: he was winning the premiership and he was getting lauded

299
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: by everyone as a genius, you then need to take

300
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,700
Speaker 4: the wax when you're not going as well. And I

301
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: think sometimes in the press, people only want to take

302
00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:28,890
Speaker 4: all the positives out of their profile and all that

303
00:12:28,910 --> 00:12:30,490
Speaker 4: sort of stuff. And then as soon as they get

304
00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:33,369
Speaker 4: caught drink driving or they get something goes wrong and

305
00:12:33,390 --> 00:12:35,990
Speaker 4: there's a bad article about them, they crack the shits.

306
00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:39,140
Speaker 2: Dog butt. We all know that. Speaking from great experience.

307
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: No shit. We all know that that balance is out

308
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: of whack. The good stories are here. The bad stories

309
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:48,329
Speaker 3: are up here because rage makes money. That's why they're pricks.

310
00:12:48,890 --> 00:12:51,010
Speaker 3: That's why you two, your industry.

311
00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:51,270
Speaker 2: Yes.

312
00:12:52,220 --> 00:12:55,860
Speaker 5: Sometimes you get caught up and you forget.

313
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,059
Speaker 4: You take sides and you get upset when there's a

314
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,030
Speaker 4: bad article about the person. But for the last two years,

315
00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:06,690
Speaker 4: they've promoted their business and they've got in the social

316
00:13:06,730 --> 00:13:08,630
Speaker 4: pages and they've got invited to all these events and

317
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:11,070
Speaker 4: they've been happy to take all the positives. I'm not

318
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: just talking about Adam Simpson. I'm talking about influencers and

319
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 4: people of profile across the board. And then they do

320
00:13:19,059 --> 00:13:21,459
Speaker 4: something wrong or a business goes broke or whatever it

321
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,950
Speaker 4: is and they cop the bad article and all of

322
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:25,590
Speaker 4: a sudden they hate the media.

323
00:13:25,610 --> 00:13:28,410
Speaker 3: But you must admit the bad is bigger than the

324
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:29,949
Speaker 3: good because it makes more money.

325
00:13:30,250 --> 00:13:33,069
Speaker 2: Of course. See, you seem to be, as an Eagles fan,

326
00:13:33,490 --> 00:13:35,870
Speaker 2: and there would have been no greater person frustrated with

327
00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:36,950
Speaker 2: the form than you.

328
00:13:36,970 --> 00:13:37,429
Speaker 3: It's bad.

329
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:39,910
Speaker 2: You seem to more side with the Adam Simpson, the

330
00:13:39,970 --> 00:13:43,270
Speaker 2: good Adam Simpson, than what Mitch Woodcock's tried to focus

331
00:13:43,330 --> 00:13:44,189
Speaker 2: on the last three years.

332
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:47,790
Speaker 3: Well, my point is I'm happy for Simo. I love him,

333
00:13:48,010 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: but ready to go. Like, it's 11 years. We've got

334
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:50,460
Speaker 3: a flag.

335
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 5: They cooked the books. They paid all their senior players

336
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,340
Speaker 5: far too much money. They weren't on the track.

337
00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:56,340
Speaker 2: They were underperforming.

338
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,100
Speaker 5: And they f * * * ed the next generation

339
00:13:58,140 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 5: of the West Coast Eagles after the flag. It's as

340
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: simple as that.

341
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,219
Speaker 2: It was mismanagement.

342
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:01,660
Speaker 3: Bad business.

343
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,569
Speaker 2: To its highest degree.

344
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,550
Speaker 4: That's not just Simo. That's across the whole footy department.

345
00:14:05,929 --> 00:14:07,850
Speaker 4: I've got a question for you. What was the more

346
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:11,660
Speaker 4: challenging press conference for Simo? Was it the press conference

347
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,100
Speaker 4: yesterday where they announced he's sacking? Or when he had

348
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,190
Speaker 4: to front the press about being the responsible party for

349
00:14:20,210 --> 00:14:20,890
Speaker 4: the rubber chicken?

350
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:23,820
Speaker 2: Back in his North Melbourne playing days. I remember the

351
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,420
Speaker 2: moment you did. When he was the captain of the

352
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: club when that all happened. Yeah.

353
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:27,900
Speaker 3: Mate, Chicken Gate.

354
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: Remember that? Chicken Gate.

355
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Take us through it again. What happened again? There was

356
00:14:31,220 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: a rubber chalk.

357
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:34,420
Speaker 4: There was some sexually explicit acts going on towards the

358
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: rubber chicken.

359
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: Horseplay. Yeah, it was horseplay by the boys trying to

360
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:39,820
Speaker 2: entertain themselves, which you do in footy club land. Yeah.

361
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:42,580
Speaker 2: And they were filming it, and obviously for their own humour,

362
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: and it got out publicly. And he was the captain

363
00:14:45,380 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: of the club and seemed to be the responsible party,

364
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: so he's had to front the press.

365
00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:54,810
Speaker 3: If you can't make love to a rubber chicken, then

366
00:14:54,890 --> 00:14:56,030
Speaker 3: the terrorists have won, Campbell.

367
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:58,690
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you've got to sit there and you've got

368
00:14:58,710 --> 00:15:01,490
Speaker 4: to apologise for some of the sexually explicit acts of

369
00:15:01,870 --> 00:15:02,630
Speaker 4: the rubber chicken.

370
00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:05,090
Speaker 5: I think we've lost our way a little bit as

371
00:15:05,150 --> 00:15:05,590
Speaker 5: a society.

372
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: I liken it to when Fev got photographed with a

373
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,180
Speaker 4: dildo on him around Fed Square.

374
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 5: Why can't you be doing that?

375
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,860
Speaker 3: Just think of Fev in your head. He was wearing

376
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:19,460
Speaker 3: a dress. He had like a Sunday hat on. And

377
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: a 12-inch cock.

378
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,380
Speaker 5: Do you know what?

379
00:15:22,740 --> 00:15:23,180
Speaker 3: It's iconic.

380
00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 5: And it was purple.

381
00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: Was it? It was purple.

382
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:27,340
Speaker 5: It's just iconic image.

383
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:31,490
Speaker 4: You know, like there's Feb winning the Coleman and there's that.

384
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,490
Speaker 5: They're the great images.

385
00:15:32,570 --> 00:15:34,510
Speaker 3: All right, so Dean Cox, I think he's the man

386
00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:37,470
Speaker 3: because he's absorbed all the magic of John Longmire for

387
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:38,430
Speaker 3: over a decade.

388
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:42,210
Speaker 5: And he's got a really strong relationship with Don Pike, obviously.

389
00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:43,390
Speaker 2: They coach together at Sydney.

390
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:46,050
Speaker 4: They reckon he's got a great footy mind. Yeah, I know,

391
00:15:46,130 --> 00:15:48,050
Speaker 4: but last year was 12 months ago.

392
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,140
Speaker 2: A lot can happen in 12 months.

393
00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:53,590
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

394
00:15:53,730 --> 00:15:56,350
Speaker 2: You know? No, I think they made him highly, you know,

395
00:15:56,410 --> 00:16:00,190
Speaker 2: our insiders, our West Coast connection. Come on. They'll rate

396
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:02,030
Speaker 2: Dean Cox the coach. They think he'll be the next coach.

397
00:16:02,050 --> 00:16:04,930
Speaker 5: I think he's just bought a Hungry Jacks, though.

398
00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:07,090
Speaker 3: In Sydney. In Sydney?

399
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:09,470
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we know Adam Simpson's got a couple of

400
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:10,530
Speaker 4: Hungry Jacks in Perth.

401
00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:12,330
Speaker 5: I think Dean Cox has just bought a Hungry Jacks

402
00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:13,190
Speaker 5: in Sydney.

403
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:15,330
Speaker 2: Well, maybe they could trade. You would have thought Adam

404
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,270
Speaker 2: Simpson would be well sought after as a coach because

405
00:16:17,290 --> 00:16:19,470
Speaker 2: they do say he's a tactical genius and his ability

406
00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:22,470
Speaker 2: to sum up the situation in a game and make

407
00:16:22,510 --> 00:16:24,790
Speaker 2: a move or set the game up correctly, they said,

408
00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:28,830
Speaker 2: Second to none. Remember the web? The West Coast web.

409
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:31,570
Speaker 2: When we won the flag. Jared loved that. He came

410
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:33,250
Speaker 2: up with that, no doubt about it. But I think

411
00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:36,010
Speaker 2: Simo and Bucks. Simo and Bucks would be the two

412
00:16:36,030 --> 00:16:37,770
Speaker 2: most sought after. You would have thought once the dust

413
00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:40,870
Speaker 2: settles in a year or two's time. I think Bucks

414
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,910
Speaker 2: is under the pump now. He's getting chased by the Cubs.

415
00:16:42,930 --> 00:16:46,530
Speaker 2: But I think those two would be– they're certainly records

416
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:49,150
Speaker 2: would be intact. People would only remember the good part.

417
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:49,710
Speaker 3: Of course.

418
00:16:50,290 --> 00:16:52,070
Speaker 4: And he could use this as a real positive. For

419
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:54,410
Speaker 4: 11 years as a senior coach, especially the last few

420
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,510
Speaker 4: when you've been under the pump every week, you'd be

421
00:16:56,530 --> 00:17:00,460
Speaker 4: that mentally drained, take your million-dollar payout, take the family

422
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:02,460
Speaker 4: on a holiday to Europe, go away for nine months,

423
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,139
Speaker 4: completely freshen up, and come back for 2026.

424
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 5: Get a facial tat.

425
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 6: Yes.

426
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: Is it called gardening leave? Gardening leave. It's called gardening leave.

427
00:17:12,940 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: So you're going to get out in the garden.

428
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 4: Get over to France and the beautiful gardens over there.

429
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,340
Speaker 3: One thing about Simmo, despite having a record of eight

430
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: out of 64, Jesus Christ, he never really wigged out

431
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,310
Speaker 3: at the media. Even that Woodcock moment was pretty leveled.

432
00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:31,090
Speaker 3: He never did a, A lot of coaches have gone

433
00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:32,430
Speaker 3: weird in front of that microphone.

434
00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. You fired up one day, our man, or

435
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: your man, Ben Dixon, former Hawthorne player as well. Your

436
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:39,620
Speaker 2: best friend.

437
00:17:39,740 --> 00:17:40,940
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right.

438
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:44,050
Speaker 2: Simo was doing a– sorry, not Simo. Digo was, for Fox,

439
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,350
Speaker 2: his commentary, doing the pregame. I think West Coast were

440
00:17:47,369 --> 00:17:49,890
Speaker 2: in town to play Adelaide. And because there's a cricket

441
00:17:49,910 --> 00:17:53,470
Speaker 2: pitch there at Adelaide Oval, well, he was doing like

442
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:55,250
Speaker 2: a pitch report with a cricket bat, just having a

443
00:17:55,260 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: bit of fun in the pregame. Well, Adam Simpson saw

444
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: it from a distance and Simo misconstrued it as he

445
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: thought Dicko was having a crack at the Eagles for

446
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: being flat track bullies. Really?

447
00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:07,940
Speaker 5: Because they'd had an ordinary road record the.

448
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 2: Previous few weeks.

449
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,219
Speaker 3: Is there a chance?

450
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: That's a long bow to throw.

451
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: But Simo's just seen it from a distance and gone over.

452
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:15,659
Speaker 2: And given Dick O'Spray.

453
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: Love that.

454
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:18,580
Speaker 3: Is there a chance Dick O' was doing that flat

455
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: track thing or not?

456
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,540
Speaker 2: Probably was. Probably was. But, yeah, so you see, it

457
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,260
Speaker 2: had bubbled to the surface from time to time. And

458
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: they had history together at Hawthorne.

459
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,220
Speaker 3: All right.

460
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:32,310
Speaker 4: Well, the other big news is Brownlow Medal, a little

461
00:18:32,670 --> 00:18:37,260
Speaker 4: potential favourite, was Isaac Heaney, who'd had a– A less

462
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,050
Speaker 4: a month. He'll be leading the Brownlow come round 10.

463
00:18:41,050 --> 00:18:42,869
Speaker 4: So I'd started to sit on him a bit and

464
00:18:42,930 --> 00:18:44,890
Speaker 4: Goulden and Warner started to get off the chain a bit.

465
00:18:44,930 --> 00:18:47,409
Speaker 4: But he copped a week. They took it to the

466
00:18:47,450 --> 00:18:50,830
Speaker 4: tribunal and it was upheld. Did you agree with it?

467
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: I would have liked him to have got off. The

468
00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 2: blood nose was going to kill him. Yeah, that hurt him. Yeah,

469
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,379
Speaker 2: that hurt him every time. So they had that usually

470
00:18:58,420 --> 00:19:01,020
Speaker 2: in the rule. But I think they need to rewrite

471
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:03,460
Speaker 2: the rule, this whole rule about what's in play and

472
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: what's out of play. Because I really think these things

473
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,140
Speaker 2: where players are trying to separate or close space should

474
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:10,859
Speaker 2: be classes in play.

475
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:14,340
Speaker 4: You start doing that, though, 30, 40 metres off the ball.

476
00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. But it's all part of football. It's

477
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:19,570
Speaker 2: not off the ball action. So I think they need

478
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:23,050
Speaker 2: to rewrite the rule there. There was just, unfortunately, not

479
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,570
Speaker 2: enough wriggle room, the way the rule had been written,

480
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:29,410
Speaker 2: for him to get off. So, unfortunately, if he loses

481
00:19:29,490 --> 00:19:32,190
Speaker 2: a Brownlow medal, he'll go down like some other players.

482
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:34,530
Speaker 2: I think Corey McKernan was one that could have won

483
00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:35,230
Speaker 2: a Brownlow medal.

484
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:35,730
Speaker 6: Chris Grant.

485
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:38,050
Speaker 2: They need to change the qualifications. Thank you, Brodie. Chris Grant.

486
00:19:38,090 --> 00:19:40,290
Speaker 2: They need to change the qualifications of the Brownlow. I

487
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:43,490
Speaker 2: still like the fairest element, but they need to bring

488
00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:46,409
Speaker 2: it more in line with 2024 standards. Because otherwise, a

489
00:19:46,430 --> 00:19:50,300
Speaker 2: lot of Brantley mentalists, if they were playing today's current

490
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,260
Speaker 2: rules and standards with the video and all that sort

491
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: of stuff, they wouldn't have won a Brantley.

492
00:19:54,740 --> 00:19:58,469
Speaker 3: Okay, hold that thought back after this. Welcome back to

493
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: Brownies Podcast. Every year we have this damn chat when

494
00:20:02,170 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: someone gets suspended that's looking good to win the Brownlow.

495
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,139
Speaker 3: We always go to the argument, should that rule be outlawed?

496
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:12,860
Speaker 3: If you punch someone, can you still win, Chas?

497
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:15,540
Speaker 6: I couldn't care less. If you get suspended for 10

498
00:20:15,540 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 6: weeks for knocking a bloke out but still poll the

499
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,780
Speaker 6: most votes in the remaining 12 games.

500
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 5: You're not the fairest.

501
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,929
Speaker 3: I don't care at all.

502
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:22,620
Speaker 6: You should win the Brownlow medal. You're the best player.

503
00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:24,739
Speaker 2: But isn't it unique to our game, though? Because you've

504
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: got media awards and all that sort of stuff. I

505
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,100
Speaker 2: think it's a unique award. It's great prestige.

506
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:32,050
Speaker 3: This is just like when the grand final rule happened.

507
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:34,970
Speaker 3: If there's a draw, we get another grand final. It's unique.

508
00:20:35,010 --> 00:20:36,930
Speaker 3: In theory, it's great. It f * * * ing sucked.

509
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:38,780
Speaker 3: We all remember that. We've got to get rid of this.

510
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,379
Speaker 4: And I got a message just on Monday afternoon, actually,

511
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,830
Speaker 4: from Luke, who's an avid listener of the show, saying,

512
00:20:45,390 --> 00:20:47,300
Speaker 4: Pointsbet is starting to speak too much again.

513
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 5: Just monitor his mic, please.

514
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: For some reason, that light's on.

515
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 6: Do you know how many people messaged me? I'm going

516
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:55,070
Speaker 6: to play some on Monday, but do you know how

517
00:20:55,090 --> 00:20:56,930
Speaker 6: many people messaged me when they heard that you were commentating?

518
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:59,409
Speaker 6: I've got a lot of mates that are Saints fans.

519
00:20:59,530 --> 00:21:00,990
Speaker 6: I swear to God, I can get it right now.

520
00:21:01,290 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 6: And the commentary was absolutely savage.

521
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: Really?

522
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 6: I'm going to get one now.

523
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: Please.

524
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,219
Speaker 6: I'm going to get one right now.

525
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,219
Speaker 3: So this is some real-life feedback. Are you ready for it?

526
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the opposite of what I was told

527
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 4: by Chris Jones when he rang me during the podcast.

528
00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, that's right, yes. So how did you go?

529
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 6: Ready?

530
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was really positive.

531
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,859
Speaker 6: This is just one. How quick was that? This is

532
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,340
Speaker 6: just one.

533
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,899
Speaker 2: Ready? Oh, shit.

534
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,169
Speaker 3: Not f * * * ing Campbell, man.

535
00:21:28,530 --> 00:21:29,889
Speaker 5: Is that before the game or after?

536
00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:31,730
Speaker 6: That's as soon as he heard that you were commentating.

537
00:21:31,770 --> 00:21:33,470
Speaker 6: It's not Campbell.

538
00:21:33,619 --> 00:21:36,100
Speaker 4: No, I believe that after the game, he might have

539
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,050
Speaker 4: sent a message back saying, what a great job.

540
00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: No, I don't.

541
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,700
Speaker 5: This is savage.

542
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: But then we'll play the bluey thing.

543
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the only person I give a f * * *

544
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 4: about is the boss of seven, who is delighted with

545
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:49,860
Speaker 4: my commentary.

546
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,340
Speaker 3: Brodie, this is a savage attack on your friend Campbell.

547
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:54,899
Speaker 3: He went me, so I know.

548
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,260
Speaker 4: This is like the Russian missile that hit the children's

549
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: hospital overnight.

550
00:21:58,580 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: It's not. Preempted. All right. John, this is spicy.

551
00:22:03,310 --> 00:22:04,290
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I'm liking this.

552
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:06,530
Speaker 5: You'd better hurry up, mate, otherwise the potty only goes

553
00:22:06,550 --> 00:22:07,189
Speaker 5: for 30 minutes, you f * *.

554
00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:07,330
Speaker 3: * ing idiot.

555
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:08,609
Speaker 6: Well, come back tomorrow.

556
00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:09,389
Speaker 3: I'm going to find my other one.

557
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:09,790
Speaker 6: Trust me.

558
00:22:09,810 --> 00:22:12,649
Speaker 2: You do realise I've got a fly to catch. What about... Yeah,

559
00:22:12,869 --> 00:22:14,889
Speaker 2: I've lost me train of thought.

560
00:22:14,970 --> 00:22:18,070
Speaker 3: I've got Bluey, Guy McKenna talking about Campbell on SEM.

561
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:20,390
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, just keep coming. Does everyone want to have

562
00:22:20,410 --> 00:22:20,990
Speaker 5: a pot shot.

563
00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:22,370
Speaker 3: Of the dog? Brother, this is lovely.

564
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:22,730
Speaker 2: Okay.

565
00:22:22,869 --> 00:22:23,790
Speaker 3: All right, so this is on SEM.

566
00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:24,669
Speaker 2: I haven't heard this.

567
00:22:24,690 --> 00:22:28,190
Speaker 3: Found one. Okay. Now we'll tease it after the outbreak.

568
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:30,450
Speaker 3: After the outbreak. Because we've got to be nice to

569
00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:30,910
Speaker 3: our man.

570
00:22:31,070 --> 00:22:33,899
Speaker 5: It's the last time I attack Brody. He's got ammo

571
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 5: up his sleeve. Mate, this is a new side to you.

572
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 5: How long have you been sitting on some of this savage?

573
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,540
Speaker 6: And you know what? I don't want to speak ill

574
00:22:40,580 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 6: of my friend the dog, so I just keep it

575
00:22:42,270 --> 00:22:44,030
Speaker 6: to the side. I don't pass it on.

576
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:47,370
Speaker 2: You don't upset him. Yeah. But before, give that feedback,

577
00:22:47,410 --> 00:22:49,310
Speaker 2: and then you'll give us Chris Jones' feedback to you

578
00:22:49,390 --> 00:22:50,230
Speaker 2: after it out of 40.

579
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: Tell him to tune in Sunday when I do the

580
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 5: Richmond GWS game again.

581
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: Oh, another blockbuster.

582
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 3: All right, Campbell's going to get clipped after the ads,

583
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,750
Speaker 3: but here is Guy McKenna, the great Suns coach.

584
00:22:59,810 --> 00:23:00,070
Speaker 2: Bluey.

585
00:23:00,890 --> 00:23:02,350
Speaker 3: Talking about Campbell on the radio.

586
00:23:02,730 --> 00:23:04,510
Speaker 10: Coach, I mean, you had another player on your list

587
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:06,969
Speaker 10: at the time, Campbell Brown, one of ours, who was

588
00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 10: no stranger to the tribunal. And Carlton famously fined Jared Waite.

589
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 10: So angry were they over his suspensions going back to

590
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:13,140
Speaker 10: another time.

591
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,659
Speaker 9: But what goes into this stuff? Did you ever have

592
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 9: the chat? Yeah, well, with Brownie, I mean, Brownie was Brownie.

593
00:23:20,290 --> 00:23:22,609
Speaker 9: And look, I don't think anyone could get to Brownie,

594
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:26,730
Speaker 9: to be honest. Maybe his father, possibly. possibly could get

595
00:23:26,770 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 9: through to Brownie but but that's why we recruited him

596
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 9: we wanted to show the young players what passion meant

597
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,340
Speaker 9: what hardness meant you know and Brownie Brownie technically was, well,

598
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 9: let's be honest, hopefully he's not listening, but he was

599
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:40,220
Speaker 9: a good player. He's a premiership player as well, let's

600
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,500
Speaker 9: not forget. But his ability to compete and in the

601
00:23:44,540 --> 00:23:46,820
Speaker 9: gym lift weights and do that and just his passion

602
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 9: for the football club and the jump, I mean, he's

603
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 9: off the spectrum with all that sort of stuff and

604
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 9: that's what he brought to our club and that's hopefully

605
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 9: what he's instilled in, you know, I see David Swallow

606
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 9: and Sam Day and a few other players still running around,

607
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,260
Speaker 9: you know, Alex Sexton still running around at Gold Coast

608
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 9: and I'm hoping those boys have... seen what Brownie brought

609
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 9: to the club and have taken elements of him now.

610
00:24:05,310 --> 00:24:07,730
Speaker 3: So what he's basically said is Campbell was not like

611
00:24:07,970 --> 00:24:10,710
Speaker 3: Shakespeare with the ball. No. But he said he was.

612
00:24:10,730 --> 00:24:12,910
Speaker 2: Well, he was told by Clark not to kick the ball.

613
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:13,889
Speaker 3: Not to kick the ball.

614
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:15,889
Speaker 5: I'm off the spectrum. I've got autism, apparently.

615
00:24:15,910 --> 00:24:17,330
Speaker 3: Well, that's pretty much what he said. But he said

616
00:24:17,369 --> 00:24:19,170
Speaker 3: your ethic unparalleled.

617
00:24:19,470 --> 00:24:20,950
Speaker 2: Culturally, great.

618
00:24:21,290 --> 00:24:22,530
Speaker 3: Not good out of a nightclub.

619
00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:24,650
Speaker 2: On-field performance, not great.

620
00:24:24,730 --> 00:24:25,130
Speaker 3: Not great.

621
00:24:25,150 --> 00:24:27,910
Speaker 2: Didn't he see the 2008 grand final when I went

622
00:24:27,930 --> 00:24:30,020
Speaker 2: back and watched that the other day? You were robbed

623
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,710
Speaker 2: for the normalcy.

624
00:24:30,859 --> 00:24:31,150
Speaker 3: I was.

625
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,580
Speaker 2: There. There we go.

626
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 5: Is there more audio?

627
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,060
Speaker 3: No, no, that's it. You missed the whole thing. You

628
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:36,739
Speaker 3: cut the best bit.

629
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 6: What bit?

630
00:24:37,220 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: You were dicking around.

631
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 5: The bit at the end.

632
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: What bit?

633
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 6: That he's liking you to Glenn Archer and John Worsford.

634
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:44,710
Speaker 3: Did he?

635
00:24:44,780 --> 00:24:45,020
Speaker 2: Did he?

636
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,860
Speaker 5: Did you have that in there?

637
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:47,940
Speaker 11: No.

638
00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 5: He's cut the.

639
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:51,340
Speaker 3: He did, because I heard him liking you to Woosha,

640
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: and then it wasn't in that grand.

641
00:24:53,020 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 2: That's a pretty grand, mate.

642
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:55,100
Speaker 3: Shots fired again.

643
00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 6: He did liken him to Woosha.

644
00:24:57,500 --> 00:25:01,179
Speaker 4: Oh, no one wants to hear that.

645
00:25:01,220 --> 00:25:02,580
Speaker 6: That's just fluff at the end. I just want to

646
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,740
Speaker 6: hear the confrontational bit.

647
00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:05,660
Speaker 3: We're going to play some ads and then.

648
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: That's a fair comparison.

649
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,110
Speaker 3: And then Brodie's going to play another grab that's mean

650
00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:11,570
Speaker 3: to Campbell and let's see if he knocks him out.

651
00:25:11,869 --> 00:25:12,250
Speaker 3: What do you think?

652
00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:12,990
Speaker 2: Love it.

653
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:18,469
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Brownies Podcast. The temperature in the studio

654
00:25:18,490 --> 00:25:19,690
Speaker 3: has risen because.

655
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:21,310
Speaker 2: Basically.

656
00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:24,350
Speaker 3: Campbell attacked Brodie. Brodie attacked him back with receipts.

657
00:25:24,510 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: Yes. I didn't expect a rebuttal. With feedback. Yeah. Strong feedback.

658
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,340
Speaker 5: You've come a long way.

659
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

660
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:33,660
Speaker 5: Since that shaved head.

661
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: You know. I thought it was ordinary by you, Brods.

662
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:42,150
Speaker 2: Bluey McKenna likened our man Campbell Brown to Glenn Archer

663
00:25:42,330 --> 00:25:42,950
Speaker 2: and John Worsfold.

664
00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:44,730
Speaker 3: And you consciously cut that out.

665
00:25:45,290 --> 00:25:46,990
Speaker 6: The grab was like 30 minutes. Do we really want

666
00:25:47,050 --> 00:25:49,310
Speaker 6: to listen to 30 minutes of Woosha just fluffing about?

667
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:53,490
Speaker 3: That minute was, are you finding it dope? This is sad, dog.

668
00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:57,850
Speaker 2: This might be narcissism at its highest level, dog. Come on.

669
00:25:58,050 --> 00:25:59,850
Speaker 3: I've learned from the best. I've done my best. I'm

670
00:25:59,869 --> 00:26:02,670
Speaker 3: trying to puff it up.

671
00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:06,020
Speaker 2: I've called you a Norm Smith medalist. We've likened you

672
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,260
Speaker 2: to a Glen Attridge. Oh, no. Stop it. Oh, no.

673
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: Stop it. Oh, Jesus. Acceptance. Okay, this is our standing.

674
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,030
Speaker 9: You need to get across that, Bruce. Glenn Archer was

675
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:16,590
Speaker 9: beyond that.

676
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:17,850
Speaker 3: John Worsfold was beyond that.

677
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:22,030
Speaker 9: Campbell Brown was beyond that.

678
00:26:22,109 --> 00:26:24,090
Speaker 6: What they were saying is that they were talking about

679
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:26,690
Speaker 6: them being psychos on the field. And he's like, yeah,

680
00:26:27,010 --> 00:26:29,270
Speaker 6: Woosha was beyond that. Archer was beyond that. Brown was

681
00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:31,950
Speaker 6: beyond that. I'm not sure that's a re-endorsement.

682
00:26:32,070 --> 00:26:36,090
Speaker 3: Okay, your friends were giving you live feedback regarding Campbell's commentary.

683
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 6: Just another voice memo. Just another voice memo.

684
00:26:38,859 --> 00:26:44,790
Speaker 5: Your friends are f * * * wits. It was

685
00:26:44,810 --> 00:26:45,590
Speaker 5: the same guy.

686
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: That is a different guy.

687
00:26:46,970 --> 00:26:48,459
Speaker 4: I don't know who you're hanging around with, mate, but

688
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 4: get new friends.

689
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:49,899
Speaker 3: One was the diddler.

690
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: One was the diddler. One was Nate.

691
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:53,420
Speaker 3: The diddler.

692
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: The diddler. And Nate. What's the diddler done to get

693
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: that nickname?

694
00:26:57,460 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 3: Don't ask. For another time.

695
00:27:00,180 --> 00:27:01,460
Speaker 5: Do they listen to the potty?

696
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:02,130
Speaker 3: They do.

697
00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:04,429
Speaker 2: Good. I want to ask you now, Chris Jones, the

698
00:27:04,470 --> 00:27:06,970
Speaker 2: boss of Channel 7, you were going to get some

699
00:27:06,990 --> 00:27:10,950
Speaker 2: feedback because Dancing with the Stars is out of 40.

700
00:27:11,010 --> 00:27:13,990
Speaker 2: Ben Cousins only got 14 out of 40 for the cha-cha.

701
00:27:14,010 --> 00:27:16,370
Speaker 2: He stuffed it up. Pigeon neck, all that sort of stuff.

702
00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:18,889
Speaker 2: What did Jonesy say out of 40? 32 out of 40.

703
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:19,210
Speaker 1: What?

704
00:27:19,270 --> 00:27:21,150
Speaker 2: Yeah. 32 out of 40 for your commentary performance.

705
00:27:21,170 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: The presence of mind to liken the bad bounce to

706
00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:25,300
Speaker 4: the 2010 grand final.

707
00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:28,220
Speaker 2: I like that. The Royal Marshals went sideways late.

708
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:31,780
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a few little– What did he say when

709
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,340
Speaker 4: he referenced the meme song from 12 years ago?

710
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,220
Speaker 3: Didn't mind it. Yeah, didn't mind it.

711
00:27:37,290 --> 00:27:40,810
Speaker 2: I just brought him down from 36 to 32. Loved

712
00:27:40,990 --> 00:27:45,379
Speaker 2: Chatty Blue Eyes. Chatty enjoyed that. And the banter between–

713
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:48,130
Speaker 2: the endearing banter between you and BT, just the back

714
00:27:48,170 --> 00:27:48,590
Speaker 2: and forth.

715
00:27:48,650 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the strong connection between the Xavier boy– In

716
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,420
Speaker 4: Job Watson and the Scotch boy, you know, the Catholic

717
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 4: and the Protestant.

718
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,860
Speaker 3: Oh, if you talked about the banter, we should have

719
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:00,980
Speaker 3: a listen.

720
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: To that again, shouldn't we?

721
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 3: Too good not to. In your brown eyes.

722
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: Here we go.

723
00:28:06,180 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 11: Happy birthday to Max King out there, 24 today. Coincidentally,

724
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 11: I guess that means that Ben's birthday as well, given

725
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 11: they're twins.

726
00:28:17,619 --> 00:28:19,379
Speaker 5: I do know a set of twins not born on

727
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: the same year, in fact.

728
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:22,970
Speaker 3: Crossed over.

729
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:24,100
Speaker 2: Yes, crossed over.

730
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: After midnight on New Year's Eve.

731
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:32,290
Speaker 2: Well, yes, Campbell, that's correct. Mate, that was Federer and

732
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: Nadal in the prime.

733
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,180
Speaker 3: The way you were turned.

734
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,459
Speaker 5: On play, on play.

735
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Magnificent. Now, hey, I've been hanging on this for the

736
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:46,610
Speaker 2: last few days. We had a bet, and over under

737
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,370
Speaker 2: the other day, North Melbourne versus Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium.

738
00:28:49,910 --> 00:28:51,850
Speaker 2: The crowd figure, and we tossed it out.

739
00:28:51,890 --> 00:28:53,470
Speaker 3: You forgot to do this in you, you prick.

740
00:28:53,550 --> 00:28:54,110
Speaker 6: No, I've got it.

741
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:55,210
Speaker 2: You're a producer or not.

742
00:28:55,290 --> 00:28:56,450
Speaker 3: I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to call you

743
00:28:56,470 --> 00:28:56,750
Speaker 3: a prick.

744
00:28:56,770 --> 00:28:58,330
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you think I've got evidence about you two,

745
00:28:58,390 --> 00:28:58,709
Speaker 6: so don't worry.

746
00:28:58,730 --> 00:28:59,580
Speaker 3: Give some free bait for Braves.

747
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 6: All right, so we went through, who do we think

748
00:29:03,020 --> 00:29:03,660
Speaker 6: the over-unders?

749
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,860
Speaker 2: What's the over-under for North Melbourne Suns crowd figure? I'm

750
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,740
Speaker 2: going to say under 11,000.

751
00:29:08,740 --> 00:29:10,700
Speaker 5: You're going to go under 11,000?

752
00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:13,190
Speaker 2: I'm going to say 16,000. That's still pretty low. That's generous.

753
00:29:13,330 --> 00:29:16,990
Speaker 2: I'm gobbled 13,486. Okay. The crowd will be 15,535.

754
00:29:16,990 --> 00:29:18,610
Speaker 5: Okay, so you've undercut me nicely there.

755
00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:18,790
Speaker 2: Suck it.

756
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 6: The official crowd attendance of the North Gold Coast game,

757
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,300
Speaker 6: which was actually a pretty good game in the end.

758
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:35,010
Speaker 2: Was 17,781. Wow.

759
00:29:35,150 --> 00:29:35,220
Speaker 7: JB1.

760
00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:40,490
Speaker 9: Yeah.

761
00:29:40,490 --> 00:29:48,490
Speaker 2: $ 17, 000.

762
00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:46,170
Speaker 5: Is low.

763
00:29:46,270 --> 00:29:48,010
Speaker 2: Jeez. You said under $ 11, 000.

764
00:29:47,890 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 5: Well, I thought it'd be lower, didn't I?

765
00:29:49,550 --> 00:29:51,230
Speaker 2: They're actually good to go and watch, though, because I

766
00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:53,390
Speaker 2: went to watch their game against Collingwood a few weeks ago.

767
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:55,230
Speaker 2: I thought that was the game of the season as well.

768
00:29:55,610 --> 00:29:58,630
Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to do a Friday fire-up today because

769
00:29:58,670 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: we're doing the podcast for Friday today, right?

770
00:30:01,060 --> 00:30:05,020
Speaker 2: Well, on Friday night, who plays? Geelong v Collingwood at

771
00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: the MCG. And I tell you what, it's about time

772
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: that Collingwood lift. About time they get back. You know what,

773
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: I know they've got some injuries in the forward line,

774
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,980
Speaker 2: but our man, or my man, Craig McRae, former teammate,

775
00:30:16,340 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: big fly, he talks about... It's not about the names

776
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,460
Speaker 2: on the magnets.

777
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:20,740
Speaker 10: Get them.

778
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,010
Speaker 2: It's about the magnets themselves.

779
00:30:23,090 --> 00:30:23,230
Speaker 1: Whoa!

780
00:30:23,250 --> 00:30:26,930
Speaker 2: Now, they've been able to show they can rejig. Get them. Retool.

781
00:30:27,090 --> 00:30:27,290
Speaker 12: Woof.

782
00:30:27,570 --> 00:30:30,370
Speaker 2: Redesign their game style and still win games of football.

783
00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:30,970
Speaker 3: System.

784
00:30:30,990 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: They've got Nick Dacos out there. System. We've got Jordan Degoe. So,

785
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:39,100
Speaker 2: just like sure, if you could turn back time. If

786
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,780
Speaker 2: I could find a way. Fly, you can find a way.

787
00:30:42,020 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Go back.

788
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,870
Speaker 12: Go back to the scrapbooks from last year or the

789
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:51,190
Speaker 12: year before. Retool that squad. Implement them. Send it out there.

790
00:30:51,230 --> 00:30:54,969
Speaker 12: Deploy them in different positions. Throw something else differently to

791
00:30:55,010 --> 00:30:59,530
Speaker 12: your old former teammate, Chris Scott, and you can deliver

792
00:30:59,870 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 12: in front of the Collingwood Army on Friday night.

793
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,380
Speaker 2: Stunning.

794
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:05,540
Speaker 11: Yeah.

795
00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:08,660
Speaker 3: Mate, that was a great fire up, eh? And the

796
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: way you said Friday.

797
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:11,300
Speaker 2: Friday night.

798
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: But it's a good point, man. Like, they've got to

799
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,900
Speaker 3: send a rocket up a team.

800
00:31:14,940 --> 00:31:15,739
Speaker 2: They do, don't they?

801
00:31:15,770 --> 00:31:20,130
Speaker 5: Two of Shur's other great songs are Strong Enough and Believe.

802
00:31:20,490 --> 00:31:21,450
Speaker 2: Wow, there you go.

803
00:31:21,470 --> 00:31:22,630
Speaker 5: Thanks for that.

804
00:31:22,650 --> 00:31:26,710
Speaker 2: Strong enough. It should be just Cher all over. It

805
00:31:26,810 --> 00:31:28,910
Speaker 2: should be just Cher music in the Collingwood rooms before

806
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:29,380
Speaker 2: they run out.

807
00:31:29,390 --> 00:31:30,170
Speaker 3: That's a great point, brother.

808
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:32,450
Speaker 2: Absolutely. So, no, looking forward to that. I've got the

809
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: boxing tonight. It's going to be great. Get on main event. Yeah.

810
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,580
Speaker 2: Cost you about $ 50. Great fight. It's not only Barry

811
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: Hall against Curtis Scott. Big Baz, if he wins tonight.

812
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:45,290
Speaker 2: Super fight against Paul Gallant. Really? You would have thought.

813
00:31:46,090 --> 00:31:47,969
Speaker 2: That could be a big payday for them.

814
00:31:48,070 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm not being disrespectful, but he's got to rock up.

815
00:31:50,010 --> 00:31:50,580
Speaker 2: Two enforcers.

816
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,700
Speaker 3: That last one was like a PR disaster.

817
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: Sonny Bill, man, he's proper.

818
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,580
Speaker 2: Big boy.

819
00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:55,660
Speaker 3: Show something.

820
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: You know Baz is 10 kilos heavier for this fight

821
00:31:57,780 --> 00:32:00,180
Speaker 2: than he was against Sonny Bill. He's really got in

822
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,140
Speaker 2: the gym. So he's got the muscles. I'd say there'll

823
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: be an early round knockout.

824
00:32:05,710 --> 00:32:09,430
Speaker 3: A Hawks 3-0, actually a huge game. Who would have

825
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:11,090
Speaker 3: thought at this time of the year we'd care about

826
00:32:11,130 --> 00:32:12,410
Speaker 3: that fixture? But that's massive.

827
00:32:12,650 --> 00:32:15,770
Speaker 4: It is, because the Hawks need to win if they

828
00:32:15,790 --> 00:32:19,630
Speaker 4: want to keep their finals dream alive. I think because

829
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:22,690
Speaker 4: they've got such bad percentage, 13 wins this year isn't

830
00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: going to get them playing finals.

831
00:32:24,190 --> 00:32:25,100
Speaker 5: Usually it's 12.

832
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: Yes. 13's not.

833
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,340
Speaker 5: They might need 14, so they might need a win.

834
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might need 14 this year. Yeah, so.

835
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,770
Speaker 4: Against a really good Freya side in Tassie with no

836
00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:37,170
Speaker 4: Mitch Lewis. Hopefully they get Cicely back. Oh, I think

837
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:38,020
Speaker 4: the Hawks will bounce back.

838
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: All right. Other games to have a look at.

839
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: Dees.

840
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,300
Speaker 3: And who are they playing?

841
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: The Bombers.

842
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:43,420
Speaker 2: Shit!

843
00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: That's a big game.

844
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:46,459
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a big game. Well, the Bombers want

845
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: to continue their momentum, and the Dees need to stay

846
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:51,219
Speaker 2: in touch with the top eight, don't they? Who would

847
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,930
Speaker 2: have thought the Dees would be scrambling to hang on?

848
00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: Dees and Collingwood scrambling to hang on to the top

849
00:32:55,270 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: eight this year. So they've got a few problems. How

850
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: do they go without Max Gorn? Oh, John. Like, he's

851
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,380
Speaker 2: probably out for two or three weeks. I'm not sure.

852
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,310
Speaker 2: I haven't heard many cries for, what did you do

853
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:07,310
Speaker 2: with Brodie Grundy? Why did you let him go to Sydney?

854
00:33:07,330 --> 00:33:09,910
Speaker 2: I can understand why they did, but I'm not sure

855
00:33:09,930 --> 00:33:11,330
Speaker 2: they've got a backup. Ruckman, have they?

856
00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:12,910
Speaker 6: Fullerton or something, I think.

857
00:33:12,970 --> 00:33:14,020
Speaker 5: Tom Fullerton from Brisbane.

858
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,540
Speaker 2: Tom Fullerton, sorry. He actually showed a bit of potential.

859
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: But he's nothing like Max Gorn. He's no Max Gorn.

860
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: This.

861
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: a three-week injury could cost Maxie an All-Australian jumper because

862
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,500
Speaker 4: I reckon he's.

863
00:33:26,420 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: Neck and neck with Brodie Grundy. Yeah, it's fair call.

864
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,620
Speaker 5: And if he's going to miss three or four weeks

865
00:33:30,660 --> 00:33:32,020
Speaker 5: and Brodie has a really good month.

866
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: If you're a Dees fan, it's pretty heartbreaking if you

867
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,420
Speaker 3: live in Melbourne. You didn't see that flag, COVID. They've

868
00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: pretty much fallen out of. Be more like Burbank. What

869
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:42,140
Speaker 3: does that mean?

870
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:42,980
Speaker 2: Oh, he got across and saw it.

871
00:33:42,980 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 6: Babbage and Burbank, remember?

872
00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:44,420
Speaker 2: Babbage and Burbank.

873
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,610
Speaker 5: They got across and saw it.

874
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,290
Speaker 4: It wasn't beyond the realms to watch them win the

875
00:33:48,330 --> 00:33:51,070
Speaker 4: flag if it meant enough for a Melbourne supporter.

876
00:33:51,090 --> 00:33:52,950
Speaker 6: You had to go to prison, but yeah, that's all right.

877
00:33:53,130 --> 00:33:55,170
Speaker 2: All good. Worth it. Go get jacked. A lot of

878
00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:56,790
Speaker 2: them are in the snow at the moment, too. I

879
00:33:56,850 --> 00:33:59,310
Speaker 2: thought it was pretty fresh. Or Saint-Tropez. Saint-Tropez.

880
00:33:59,330 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: John, they haven't been out of the eight at this

881
00:34:01,130 --> 00:34:02,860
Speaker 3: time of the year in, it feels like, five years.

882
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,700
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. They've been up and about, haven't they?

883
00:34:04,780 --> 00:34:05,060
Speaker 1: Wild.

884
00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: I agree with your sentiment, but Babbage and Burbank, I

885
00:34:07,420 --> 00:34:10,459
Speaker 2: wonder where they are now. And if you really think

886
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: back for them in a quiet moment before they put

887
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:16,700
Speaker 2: their head on the pillow, I reckon the regret, as

888
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:23,050
Speaker 2: Melbourne's performances go worse, decline, I reckon their optimism about their.

889
00:34:22,870 --> 00:34:24,670
Speaker 5: Life experience and what they did goes up.

890
00:34:24,930 --> 00:34:27,610
Speaker 2: I agree. It's like an inverse graft.

891
00:34:27,670 --> 00:34:27,970
Speaker 10: Yeah.

892
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:31,430
Speaker 3: Jonathan Ape, put it here.

893
00:34:31,950 --> 00:34:33,930
Speaker 2: That is genius. It is, isn't it?

894
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: That is absolutely genius.

895
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 4: The fact that Babbage lost his accounting licence and Burbank's

896
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,540
Speaker 4: lost his bar.

897
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:39,859
Speaker 10: Doesn't matter.

898
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:40,779
Speaker 2: Hey, let's buy the bar.

899
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,500
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. Look at the graph. The optimism rising.

900
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 2: I think it's an inverse graph.

901
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,980
Speaker 5: And somewhere where it crosses, you find the unicorn.

902
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,510
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

903
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,180
Speaker 2: Well done.

904
00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:53,430
Speaker 6: I think that was the most philosophical... Uplifting thing I've

905
00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:54,370
Speaker 6: ever heard Jonathan say.

906
00:34:54,469 --> 00:34:58,250
Speaker 2: A-plus in maths. Gandhi, Gandhi. Dogs and Blues, that's a

907
00:34:58,270 --> 00:35:01,580
Speaker 2: big game. I'm doing that Saturday evening. No, Saturday twilight.

908
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,460
Speaker 2: Blues need to bounce back.

909
00:35:02,739 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: So do the Dogs.

910
00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:04,580
Speaker 6: I think the Dogs could get them.

911
00:35:04,620 --> 00:35:06,780
Speaker 2: I think it's a fascinating clash, actually, in a battle

912
00:35:06,820 --> 00:35:09,629
Speaker 2: between two big midfields. Bond will be disappointed after his game.

913
00:35:10,110 --> 00:35:11,549
Speaker 2: on the weekend as well as the rest of the midfield.

914
00:35:11,590 --> 00:35:13,910
Speaker 5: Is Kuno carrying an injury? Well, you know.

915
00:35:13,969 --> 00:35:16,109
Speaker 2: He's been a bit spasmodic throughout the year.

916
00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:17,750
Speaker 3: Well said, John, well said.

917
00:35:17,810 --> 00:35:20,410
Speaker 2: Well, even like he has lit up and his stats

918
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:23,670
Speaker 2: look all right, but it's all happened in 15-minute bursts.

919
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:26,049
Speaker 2: I think you like greater consistency across the board. I

920
00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: think Harry McCoy has had a far more consistent season.

921
00:35:29,820 --> 00:35:31,580
Speaker 2: So that'll be one to watch. But I'm looking forward

922
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: to the midfield battle, especially Cripps v. Bontempelli. How good's

923
00:35:35,219 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: that going to be?

924
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,770
Speaker 3: And we just got another spasmodic. We got another spasmodic.

925
00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:43,510
Speaker 5: I'm going to give each of you some homework.

926
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:46,330
Speaker 2: Yes, I've already got homework. I've got rope-a-dope tonight. You've

927
00:35:46,350 --> 00:35:47,050
Speaker 2: got rope-a-dope.

928
00:35:48,530 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: Reflect back on how you've been today in the podcast

929
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: and this week. And I am going to put my

930
00:35:55,060 --> 00:35:56,219
Speaker 4: hand up and say, I'm going to come into the

931
00:35:56,260 --> 00:35:57,419
Speaker 4: podcast on Monday and be less.

932
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:00,859
Speaker 3: A confrontation.

933
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.

934
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,470
Speaker 3: He's a big run-up. He's wobbly.

935
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:09,609
Speaker 5: I'm going to be less narcissistic. What are you guys

936
00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:10,410
Speaker 5: going to bring to the table?

937
00:36:10,510 --> 00:36:13,070
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. If you continue on in that format,

938
00:36:13,090 --> 00:36:17,009
Speaker 2: you'll be unsacramentously dumped in this podcast.

939
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:17,570
Speaker 3: See you later.

940
00:36:18,380 --> 00:36:18,980
Speaker 2: See you, guys.
