1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: The big footy issues from every angle, dissected by a 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: team that follows the game closer than anyone else wherever 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: you are around the planet. This is your ultimate guide 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: to the AFL. This is the Fox Footy Podcast. 5 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: Yes, there's some forty eight hours to go in the 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five AFL trade period. Still a lot of 7 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: deals to be done, to say the least. The fact 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: that pick one hundred and three is the headline from 9 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: day six of the trade period says a fair bit 10 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: about what's been going on so far. Hello, and welcome 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: to the Fox Footy Podcast. Ben Waterworth with you alongside 12 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: Ben Cotton, Max Lrden and the nineteen eighty eight brown 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: Low medalists and pick fifty nine in the nineteen ninety 14 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: pre season draft of Collingwood. 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: Jerry. 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 4: Here they were, The days, they were the days. I 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: was a bit of a shock when I got called out. 18 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 4: Never quite got there, but it would have been interesting 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 4: had I been there. 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 3: But at least I was part of a draft. 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: Yes you were, and you could say the ninety ninety 22 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: coming up from that was obviously calling a premiership year 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 2: as well, so you can say you can contributed to. 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 3: That in a minor way BC. 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: Charlie Kurno and Sydney continues to be a story that 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: is fascinating all at the moment. What's the latest because 27 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: he has his new South Wales bound on Monday. 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 5: That's right, so Jence, there hasn't been any movement, well, 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 5: no significant movement today, but maybe the biggest story is 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 5: Charlie Kurno touring the Swans or touring Sydney's facilities tonight 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 5: to have a. 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 6: Look and see if that's where he wants to go. 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 5: Like this is a pretty big step forward clearly in 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 5: terms of him deciding on his future because so far 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 5: his preference has been to get to Geelong. If he 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 5: really wants to push to get to Sydney, or if 37 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 5: Sydney becomes a good landing spot for him, which we 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 5: think it will, then's Sydney. And of course carlt enough 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 5: to get negotiating at the trade table, so we know 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 5: that Sydney, we believe, is prepared to trade some players. 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: So we're hearing about Will Hayward, James robotom and Oli Florence. 42 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 2: Tommy Morris reporting tonight that Will Hayward is somewhat open. 43 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And of course Jared mentioned before, we know 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 5: how much he loves James Robotum, so that would strike 45 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 5: a cord there. But we think that clubs have asked 46 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 5: the question about James Robertum and they think he might 47 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 5: be getable as opposed to Robotum wanting out. We know 48 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 5: that he wants to stay. But will Hayward and Oli 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 5: Floren there's a big watch on both of those guys. 50 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 4: Well, I can save Charlie a tour of the facility 51 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: that much to see. 52 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: It's like Disneyland. I can just go to Disneyland, long lines. 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 4: It's still AFL football, so you're not going to find 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 4: a better facility. So if he's making his decision based 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: on facilities, you can sign him up now. As for 56 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: whether or not Hayward gets thrown in, look, it's hard 57 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 4: for me as a person who has watched the Swans 58 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: for one game short and that was a bell in 59 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: one game short. With all of these guys in the team, 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: it's hard for me to kind of played all of 61 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 4: a sudden, the Swans are going to lose the likes 62 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: of Hayward or their rowbottomizer, who I think can play 63 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 4: the same role as Andrew Dunkley, and Josh dunclein Sorry 64 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 4: Josh Hunky, and you know his best was better from 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: a statistical perspective than Josh Dunkley's this year best and 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 4: fairest in a Premiership season. So it's I know he 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 4: lost his spot in the middle of the ground in 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 4: the middle of the season he went forward and Angus 69 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: Sheldry got put back. Well, i'd say win your spot 70 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 4: back in the middle, john Roe bottomize a few more. 71 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 7: I wonder if that's more about teams looking at Robotom 72 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 7: losing his spot and then thinking well, if he's lost 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 7: the spot, maybe he'd be more willing to come to us, 74 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 7: he'd be more gettible because he's out of that midfield 75 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 7: mix which he presumably wants to play him. 76 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think there's also to Jared's point, I 77 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 5: think there's a bit of a salary cap aspect to 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 5: this as well, Like if you bring in Charlie Kerno, 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 5: you're bringing in a seven figure salary and clearly something 80 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: you might have to give. Because Sydney has resigned a 81 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 5: lot of their big guns, will have it among those 82 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 5: this time last year, so maybe that might also be 83 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 5: an aspect of it. So we think, right now that 84 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 5: Sydney Herald's un reporting tonight that the Sydney is going 85 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 5: to offer a package of two first round picks, being 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 5: this year's first rounder which is number eleven, next year's 87 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 5: first and then potentially Will Hayward maybe an Olie Florin 88 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 5: in there as well. 89 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: That sounds about right, doesn't it. 90 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 7: Roughly for a that's the most realistic deal I've certainly heard. 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: It might players in two first rounders. 92 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 7: Well you don't need Floriend maybe not so much one 93 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 7: and the two first round picks. If Florid wouldn't they 94 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 7: talk about him being worth a future second maybe even 95 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 7: a separate deal, so maybe not necessarily, it could be 96 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 7: a three team deal. 97 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: Well, there's no question that the Swans are a far 98 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 4: better side with Charlie coming out of the goal square. 99 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: It begs a question what happens to the other tools 100 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 4: and they go to They're going to be fighting for 101 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: various positions. Maybe they'll try McDonald down in the back half. 102 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure I think that needs to happen. 103 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 4: They trilled a couple of years ago, got injured, didn't 104 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: play a game last year, so potentially that's on the table. 105 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: But they've got another couple of tools that they've got 106 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: a squeeze in. 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 3: Charlie is a top ender. 108 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 4: But you only have to look as far as the 109 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: Grand Final this year to realize you don't need a 110 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: top ender out of the goal square to win. Out 111 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 4: of the thirty goals kicked in the Grand Final, one 112 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 4: of them came from a key forward. 113 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 7: For Brisbane and they would be nice to see Sidney 114 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 7: doing something because they've had last year particularly it was 115 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 7: basically a silent trade period. But I think we're all 116 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 7: assuming they're going to be good next year anyway. 117 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: Well, you always talk about the potential prospect of a 118 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: team go from the bottom ten to the top four, 119 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: and I think considering how the Swan's played in the 120 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: back half of the twenty twenty five season, they'd be 121 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: a popular tip to do the same thing next year. 122 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 7: They perfectly fit the profile. There's one a year every 123 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 7: year for over a decade now. We had two this 124 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 7: year with Adelaide, with Collingwood certainly jumping in Adelaide finally 125 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 7: getting all the way in there. Collingwood made more sense 126 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 7: with the profile of these teams that have struggled for 127 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 7: only one year and bounced straight back in and Sydney's 128 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 7: makes all the sense in the world because they had 129 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 7: all their injuries. We know there were two completely different teams. 130 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 7: The second half of the year. They were effectively as 131 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 7: good as the top nine and got close to beating 132 00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 7: a few of those things. 133 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 4: Game against Brisbane with about three rounds to go when 134 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 4: they started a handball a lot more. That to me 135 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: showed that the Swan's A grade game is still there. 136 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 4: Needed to be changed a little bit and I think 137 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 4: they're a bit do it a little bit slow, a 138 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 4: little bit kick kick happy, yep. And then when they 139 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: added the handball, then I thought they were going to 140 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: play some finals tight footing you. There's no question that 141 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 4: handball is a huge part of the mix now and 142 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 4: if you can't handle, you're not winning a flat. 143 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 5: And we know they're a different team with Eryl Goulden 144 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 5: in it, like they just look like a different team. 145 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 5: And that's a player that all those top bend goals 146 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: are the ones that Carlton was originally asking for. That 147 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: was probably a bit unrealistic the whole way through, but 148 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 5: there's Will Hayward, James Robert and Oli Florentin types are 149 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 5: the ones that seemed more realistic, more gettable. 150 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: So a lot of the integral players sticking around at 151 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: Sydney from a Melbourne perspective, though key members of their 152 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: premiership a couple of years ago on the way out. 153 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: We know about Christian Petrarca and Clayton Oliver. 154 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: One thing we just. 155 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: Wanted to raise though, Stephen May, who we know prior 156 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: to the trade peiod reports came out that he had 157 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: been in courage to look at his options. It's gone 158 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: very very quiet though as we head towards the deadline. 159 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's just no real serious suitors. I 160 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 5: mean the first two clubs that people thought of or 161 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: looked to was the Western Bulldogs in Collingwood. Of course, 162 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 5: the two clubs that missed out on Jack Sulvanney have 163 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 5: to think Kilda swooped in at the last minute or allegedly, 164 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: but we know that the Bulldogs aren't keen or won't 165 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: pursue him, and Collingwood I think did a bit more 166 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 5: background work and had a look at it, but they're 167 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 5: also not going to pursue him. So the list of 168 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: suitors has certainly not even thin. We don't even know 169 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 5: if there was a real list of suitors. 170 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: What's his money? Is he sevens or eight? 171 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: I think it's in the eight Rangeer'd be up there 172 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 5: when he signed that last year he was one of 173 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 5: the best defenders in the game, Premiership defender and the 174 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 5: rest of it. 175 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: But he did drop off maybe a little bit in 176 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Stephen may a lot. 177 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's going against Jack Gunston was one of the 178 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 4: one of the lower ReBs of his career. I know 179 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: he's coming back, I think from a couple of weeks out, 180 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: so there's some excuse there. 181 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: Look, he's one of those guys where you're just it's 182 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: hard to know. 183 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: But his potential upside is if you can get him 184 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: at the right price, then I'd be chasing him. 185 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: Surely. 186 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 7: If the Bulldogs aren't willing to chase him, that either 187 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 7: says that they have intel that says he's not going 188 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 7: to be any good next year, or that they think 189 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 7: they're good enough with Connor Buttereck being their loan addition 190 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 7: to their back six, which doesn't seem like an enormous 191 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 7: game changing now. 192 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: And it's going to be up to the player himself 193 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: to change that intel, to go to people and say, well, 194 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: I'll take this, but if I finish in the top 195 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: ten and the best and fairest, I want this back 196 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: himself in And if he did so, I think there'd 197 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: be a number of clubs. 198 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 3: You can think of three or four other clubs. 199 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 4: The Swans, for instance, they let another key defender just 200 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: as much as they need Charlie Kerner. 201 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 3: Probably more, I would argue, don't disagree with that. 202 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 4: Now, are they going to sell the farm to get him? No, 203 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: but if the farm's coming at twenty five percent of retail, 204 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 4: well then you'd have a crack. 205 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 7: That's what did your long farm? 206 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: What about if the DS do hold on to Stephen Mays, 207 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 2: who's got that one year left on his contract, and 208 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: as we mentioned, his form did drop off a little 209 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: bit in twenty twenty five, what's the balance and how 210 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: do they use him in twenty twenty six considering his age, 211 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: considering that aput drop off in time. 212 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: I don't think you can consider age outside of maybe 213 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 4: saying well, we're going to play eighteen games instead of 214 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 4: every game. We're going to manage it to a degree. 215 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: But other than that, you got to front up you're 216 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 4: an AFL player. Nobody takes consideration of your age when 217 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 4: you're out on the ground. Stephen May has to turn 218 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: up fitter than he's ever turned up, and I know 219 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 4: that's difficult, but that's what all the great players do 220 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: when they get to thirty years of age. They train harder, 221 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: they get better and they commit to a level they 222 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 4: couldn't even consider possible at twenty five years of age. 223 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: And if he does that, turns up, it drops some weight, 224 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: changes whatever he needs to change to give. 225 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 3: Himself the best chance. 226 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 4: Then he can return and he can get another year 227 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 4: on his contract. 228 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: I mean, at the moment he's got one year left. 229 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: He's got a demand of Stephen King just through action, 230 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 4: so cheap at this time with you, it's all about action. 231 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 5: It's clearly a new era at Melbourne. Stephen King is 232 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 5: going to be driving right like clearly he's coming and 233 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 5: it's been pretty a pretty bold approach like Clayton Oliver 234 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: basically been shown the door being very much more open 235 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 5: to Christian Petrarca trades than this time last year seven May. 236 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 5: So yeah, you hope that he would buy into that 237 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 5: and realize this is a new era and a new 238 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 5: coach and what maybe was accepted in the past won't 239 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 5: be accepted moving forward. 240 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: So you mentioned a new era in terms of the 241 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: center bounce attendants percentages this year, Jared, we had obviously 242 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: Max Corn at the top, then Clayton Oliver seventy two 243 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: percent of his game time is at the in the 244 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: centate bounce. Petrarca was sixty six only Picking and Viney 245 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: in between those two at sixty nine percent. Then we 246 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: go down to Rivers at nineteen percent. Wins are twelve, 247 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 2: Langford ten, Sparrow six. You take Oliver and Petrarca out 248 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: of your center bounce crewe they're almost a permanent center 249 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: bounce crew. There's a lot of room there for role 250 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: changes of the likes of Win, Rivers, Wins, Langford, Sparrow. 251 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 2: Those are the kind of players that get that center 252 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: bounce time of the war next year. 253 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, we saw that in the season when they started 254 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 4: to experiment, Rivers did quite well, Langford went in and out. 255 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 4: I mean, the numbers will show you that Melbourne's center 256 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: bounce work needed some improvement through the season, and whilst 257 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: they got a better at the end of the season, 258 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: it's not as if they were knocking him out of 259 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 4: the park. So I think it's time that Melbourne experimented. 260 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 4: They've got Viney who's going to be a mainstay there. 261 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 4: He may take that role as a tagger that we're 262 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: seeing popularized again this season. 263 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 3: But they have got some good young kids. 264 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: But you know, they're losing two generational talents that led 265 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: Melbourne to a flag, so there's going to be a gap. 266 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 7: It's almost weird that they didn't give those young guys 267 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 7: more time this year, like Windsor only went in late 268 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 7: in the season, had a few games and then got injured, 269 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 7: so he didn't play them there anymore. So you would 270 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 7: have thought they would have done used last year as 271 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 7: more of a trial season. 272 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. I like the concept of step Inking needing to 273 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 5: reinvent the midfield though, because so much of a knock 274 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 5: of Simon Goodwin's tenure towards the end was that he 275 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 5: needed to. 276 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 6: Look past Betrarca, Oliver, etc. 277 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: So this actually forces the new coach's hand to make change, 278 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 5: to find new pe for better or worse. 279 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: Twelve months is a long time in footy, though, isn't it. 280 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 4: I mean Brad Green demanding that Oliver stay and there 281 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: was a first rounder on the table, there was a 282 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 4: million dollars of the salary on the table, and all 283 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 4: of a sudden he's gone for peannuts and a bit 284 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: of salt nuts, chair pea nuts and a couple of cornship. 285 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: Well imagine if that later done the old Harry Petty 286 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: Roley phulthoughpt swap back a few years ago, as well 287 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: a couple of quick ones there. Jaredy from a from 288 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: a player movement perspective, should free agency compensation be abolished? 289 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: Or should be the formula be tweats? Should the herbs 290 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: and spices be seasoned a bit differently? 291 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 4: I wouldn't just keep it to the free agency. I 292 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 4: think the whole talent pathways need a major review. I 293 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 4: think Greg Swan should spend twelve months on it. And 294 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 4: you know, reimagine the draft. Maybe you get two picks 295 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 4: if you're down the bottom, rather than having to West 296 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: coast to come cap in hand for some sort of 297 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: non you know, some sort of special deal, two picks 298 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 4: for the first four or four of the bottom four 299 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: or five picks. Maybe the top four clubs can't get 300 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: free agents. 301 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: I mean, there's all manner of things that need to 302 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: be done. 303 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: You know, their question mark on n GAS is always 304 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 4: a bugbear of mine. You know, father Son seems to 305 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 4: have a lot of support at clubs, So I don't 306 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 4: think that's going anywhere anytime soon. But a lot of 307 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: work needs to be done on talent pathways and how 308 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: club's access to. 309 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: What about the power of clubs because we've seen, sorry, 310 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 5: the power of players, because we've seen that players have 311 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 5: got more power than ever At the moment, the three 312 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: biggest stars of the trade period, Betruker, Kerno, Merit are 313 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 5: all under contract, and yet they're all searching for new homes. 314 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 6: Do we need to shift? 315 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 5: Is there a way to shift power more to the 316 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 5: club's favor, because we're also saying they can't trade players 317 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 5: against their will or without consent. Rather, does there need 318 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 5: to be some sort of shift to give clubs more power? 319 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 6: And if so, how do you think that could player? 320 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 4: Well, the clubs could just demand that they stay and 321 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 4: that's quite simple, you know. I see this is it's about. 322 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 4: It's the full americanization of the game. Let's get excited 323 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 4: about it. I'm not excited about it. I think the 324 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: game is messy at this stage with all these players 325 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 4: going here and there. I see players that don't want 326 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 4: to leave their clubs. They've signed, the clubs have committed 327 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: to them twelve months ago to a four or five 328 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 4: year deal, and all of a sudden they're considering tipping 329 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 4: them out or they're selling them to consider their options. 330 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 4: To me, that's messy, and to me, that's difficult to 331 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 4: swallow if you're a plier. So there's fold on players, 332 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: and there's fold on clubs, and there's absolutely fault with 333 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: player managers who were just shopping people around Willy nearly 334 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: and so, oh, it's okay in America, that's fine. There's 335 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 4: a lot of things in America that aren't. 336 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 7: For clubs are always talking about both sides of their 337 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 7: mouths anyway. They're always saying that I know he's contracted, 338 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 7: we wouldn't possibly consider dealing in. But it's a player 339 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 7: from other club. Oh yeah, he wants to get to us. 340 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 7: Come on, let's be reasonable. It's full of critical. 341 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: Of course, what's the ideal link for the trade period, 342 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: because we've got the day six of out talking about 343 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: pick one hundred and three being the ash. 344 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: The longer, the better, longer punching it. 345 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 4: It keeps you guys busy, and it does look the 346 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 4: deals get done. But sometimes it does take time. I 347 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 4: mean sometimes it takes players, you know, a few days 348 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: to get the head around potentially moving, and sometimes it. 349 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: Takes clubs. 350 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 4: A little bit of time to get the head around 351 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: letting a guy go and taking the poison pill that. 352 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 4: But to get something you've got to give some yep. 353 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: So I'm not sure how long it go. What's it 354 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: go for? Now it's shortened. 355 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: It's now nine days and it used to be. 356 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: Two weeks, and the deals still get done in the 357 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: last thirty second. 358 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: In Macie time, you. 359 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 7: Have sports where you're going to have months of trading 360 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 7: and then everything still gets done in the final day. 361 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 7: That's always going to happen on the final day regardless, 362 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 7: it doesn't matter how short and long you make it. 363 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: That is the end of the first seven here in 364 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: the Fox Foody Podcast. Jared, thanks for sticking around much 365 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 366 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 3: With fun coming up after this. 367 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 6: Fair or Fast. 368 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: And Now on the Box Footy Podcast, another strong edition 369 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: of Australia's Favorite segment, Fair or Fast. 370 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: His time for Australia's Favorite segment Fair or Fast Jam Packed. 371 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: There's always bec starting with you. If it wasn't already 372 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: The Zach Merritt scenario could get real ugly, fair or fast. 373 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: That is fair, I think ugly from a trade standpoint, 374 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 5: and maybe even merit. Going back to Essendon, I think 375 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 5: this is the most likely deal to fall over, you Reckon. 376 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: I think so because the complicated thing with this is 377 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 5: that gold Coaster has got the assets to get Petrarca, 378 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 5: it's just nutting out the deal and Sydney has clearly 379 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 5: is prepared to go to great lengths to get Charlie Kurno. 380 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 5: They're talking about players, they've got some good picks, et cetera. 381 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 5: But Essendon and Hawthorne not only are they not even 382 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 5: talking at the moment, but I think there's the other 383 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 5: challenging aspect is that the management side of things, Ben 384 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 5: is that Zach Merritt's manager. If he was to try 385 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: to negotiate a deal with Hawthorne, he would have to 386 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 5: get some Hawthorne players involved, and so far they haven't 387 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 5: had any luck or there's been no players mentioned in 388 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 5: those trade So I reported earlier today that Cam McKenzie 389 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 5: I don't think is on the trade table. His management 390 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 5: has said that he's not available. Basically, they're not even 391 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 5: taking calls for him. So Mitch Lewis is another name 392 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 5: that's been thrown up. We don't know if he's available 393 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 5: or not. So I just think that it's a complicated 394 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 5: one when you are dealing with crossover of management groups 395 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 5: and stuff. Whereas a lot of those sydneys that we 396 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 5: talked about earlier, Haywood, Florent, Kerner, they're all managed by 397 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 5: Paul Connor's or Connors Management. 398 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 6: So there's just a lot of layers to it. 399 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 5: But I think that's an interesting element that some people 400 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 5: might not be as aware that Arena's involved in the 401 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 5: trade space, so it could get ugly. But there is 402 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 5: forty out hours to go. Who knows if something else 403 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 5: could unlock the deal. Is there a third club? I'm 404 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: not too sure, but I just think it's going to 405 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 5: be really hard to make both teams shake hands, especially 406 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 5: because I'm not sure if Hawthorne's really ready to go 407 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 5: all in. 408 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: So when you mentioned the important importance of the management 409 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: in this situation and how Hawthorne and Essen haven't really 410 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: spoken yet any merit deal conversations from an Essen spective 411 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 2: and a Hawthorn perspective, it's essenon and the manager and 412 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: Hawthorne the manager it's not the two together. 413 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, two clubs together. 414 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 5: Certainly in bigger profile moves like this. We know Tom Patroro. 415 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 5: Zach Merritt's manager's basically been the person trying to orchestrate 416 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 5: this deal because he has to do all the background work, 417 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 5: workout what Hawthorne could give up, workout potentially what Essenon's 418 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 5: willing to receive, and so far Essendon has said that 419 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 5: they're not even willing to trade him or listen to 420 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: trade offers. Of course that could change. They may have 421 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 5: a plan all along to deadline day, we'll start talking, 422 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 5: but clearly the managers have a big role to play 423 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 5: in nutting out those final details. 424 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 2: MAXI, this is I bet a bugbears of yours on 425 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: that Monday. It feels like some AFL draft picks are 426 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: just made up out of nowhere, fair or fast. Will Brody, Yes, 427 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: I would. 428 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 7: Be insulted if I was Will Brody, would you, Because 429 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 7: not only am I only worth a fictional draft pick 430 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 7: pick one oh three, I'm not even worth a better 431 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 7: fictional draft pick of a fifth round pick, but I'm 432 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 7: worth a sixth round. 433 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: But hang on. 434 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: So pick on hundred and three was part of the 435 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 2: official paperwork, so it has to be official, doesn't it 436 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: that you. 437 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 3: Would think so? 438 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,239 Speaker 7: And look, these picks have to exist because of this 439 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 7: rule around, you have to have three picks going into 440 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 7: the draft, so every club will have picks based on 441 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 7: their drafts, their list spots, and effectively we're going to 442 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 7: draft night and they make up rounds and teams will 443 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 7: have seventh and eighth round picks even though everyone else 444 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 7: is passed. It's so stupid, and I don't know why. 445 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 7: They just don't have a set structure. But also I 446 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 7: think the AFL is making these picks up because I 447 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 7: looked on their website, right and you check today and 448 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 7: you go, oh, Freeman's trained to pick one oh three, 449 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 7: And then suddenly all of these teams have picks in 450 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 7: the one hundreds and the one hundred and tens or style, 451 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: And then I exactly, they've rkoed me, certainly, And then 452 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 7: I checked the Internet archive. Yes, and last week on 453 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 7: the AFL website, which presumably is the official information source, 454 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 7: these picks didn't exist. So either there are two scenarios here. 455 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 7: Either the league has made these picks up to suit 456 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 7: this trade happening, or the official source of information is 457 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 7: relied upon by an editorial staff who are having to 458 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 7: put these picks in it. 459 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 3: Way weight one hundred and three. We're going to give 460 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: all these teams picks. 461 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 7: Let's make it look not quite so silly, and it 462 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 7: will be nice to have an official information source about 463 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 7: draft picks then, right, just a thought. 464 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: Well, and the thing is, in recent times, like the draft, 465 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: I think even this year might be as much as 466 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: sixty picks somewhere around like as in like sixty picks 467 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: will be takes. 468 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 7: It's roughly like sixty three sixty five this usually most year, 469 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 7: and so this pick won't get used like Fremantle is 470 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 7: only getting this pick because this is the worst pick 471 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 7: that Port Adelaide could trade and it's effectively Freemantle's dumping 472 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 7: whatever salary Will Broady has. So I understand it, but 473 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 7: it's just still so silly. 474 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: So speaking of Port Adelaide, their BC port Adelaide aren't 475 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: big fans of the twenty twenty five draft pool. Fair 476 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: or fast? 477 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 6: That is fair. I think that is very fair. 478 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 5: Not the one hundred and third best prospect is port 479 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 5: Adelaid's draft end right now is pick forty nine. And 480 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 5: then to Max's point, before they pick eighty five and 481 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 5: one hundred and three, very hot spots of right in 482 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 5: previous drass. But I think the Port stuff, I think 483 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 5: it's twofold. I think one that they don't like this draft. 484 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: And you reported about this a little earlier on Yeah. 485 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 6: That's right. 486 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 5: I reported a month ago that they were potentially prepared 487 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: to not have a single draft pick at all in 488 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: this draft, which I'm not even sure if that's been 489 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 5: done before, and I think that is still on the cards. 490 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 5: Just watch that space with their pick forty nine that 491 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 5: could find its way elsewhere over the next four to 492 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 5: our hours, and then they would effectively upgrade rookie spots 493 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 5: instead of using draft picks. But I think it's twofold. 494 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 5: It's one that they don't like this draft that much. 495 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 5: And this has been dating back to last year when 496 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 5: they made the Dan Houston trade with Gold Coast and Collingwood, 497 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 5: and then of course they want assets in next year's 498 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 5: draft when Dougie Cochran, who's not yet officially linked to 499 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: them with NNGA, there's still some background work that the 500 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 5: AFL is doing, but we think that he's going to 501 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 5: be linked to Port as an MGA guy. 502 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 2: So and for context, he's probably the number one prospecting 503 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 2: next year's draft, and his name is Dougie ye anything, 504 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: which is very good. 505 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, so teach me how to Dougie wants to 506 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 5: get port Adlais wants him, and then they also have 507 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 5: a guys and the father son and academies in the 508 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 5: next couple year after as well. So effectively, they just 509 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 5: want to keep pushing back picks to maximize those drafts 510 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 5: where they have highly rated guys. And we know that 511 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 5: under the proposed AFL changes it's going to be harder 512 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 5: than ever to get these players in. 513 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 2: David Rhaden's son, Stephen Tellipeck's son two to watch in 514 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: a couple of years time, Maxi Joyce Simkin is worth 515 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: two first round picks. 516 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 6: Fair or fast, No fast. 517 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 7: I'm on Collingwood side for once, huge, which is exciting. 518 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 7: The rarity your face turned for me, that's right, Thank 519 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 7: you guys. Pro Wrestling. We'll talk about that later. Look 520 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 7: back at the players they've actually gone for two first 521 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 7: round picks recently, Shade Bolton kind of did it was 522 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 7: three for one, yeah, effectively, Tim Taranto was the pick 523 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 7: twelve and nineteen, probably overpriced based on production since he's 524 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 7: been fine. 525 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, Richmond certainly, but they won't their best em farios 526 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 6: this year. 527 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 7: You know, did you watch Richmond play then, well they. 528 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 3: Didn't win a lot of game. Yea, more than expect, 529 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: more than. 530 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 7: Expected, that's true. Maybe they just need to find a 531 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 7: gold Coast because danniy Olian for six and twenty three 532 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 7: that sounds about the right price, except gold Coast is 533 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 7: in that weir position where it's again it's draft picks 534 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 7: are fictional. So no, he's not worth fifthirst three picks. 535 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 7: And that's why I think you'll stay at North Melbourne BC. 536 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 2: Brisbane is going to have to soften its stance on 537 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: col ar cheese value fair. 538 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 6: Or fast fair very much so fair. 539 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 5: This is this is a tough one, so Adelaide, So 540 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 5: Brisbane wants a first round pick. 541 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 6: They want Adelaide's pick sixteen. 542 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 3: He could have initially moved. 543 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: As a free agent. 544 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 5: Yes, so he's out of contract, he's twenty eight years 545 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 5: old and he's Yeah, so Brisbane wants to get picked 546 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 5: sixteen or a future first and Adelaide is saying, no, 547 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 5: we don't want to give that much. We're going to 548 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 5: give a maybe a future second or whatever it is 549 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 5: they've got. Their next pick is pick forty eight. I 550 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 5: think it's probably his value probably fall somewhere in the middle, 551 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 5: so then it's either trade a future second round pick 552 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 5: or Adelaide maybe just needs to get creative. I can 553 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 5: understand how Brisbane values him highly, like he's a two 554 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 5: time premiership player. He's twenty twenty three, twenty four final 555 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 5: series was pretty impressive. This past one not as much, 556 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 5: but two time premiership player. He's built built up some 557 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 5: good credibility at the lines, and Domino drafted him, so 558 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: he clearly rates him. And now I'm not sure how 559 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 5: this gets done. Maybe I think the easiest solution is 560 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 5: maybe a future second round pick, unless Adelaide somehow rejingles 561 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 5: that draft end that. 562 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 7: He's not worth a first round pick this year, even 563 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 7: if it's a late pick a particularly weak draft. But 564 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 7: the gap between pick sixteen and a future second is 565 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 7: pretty large. Yeah, and if we think Adelaide is going 566 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 7: to be any good. 567 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 5: Yes, and looking at both clubs hands, they've both got 568 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 5: heaps of picks to play with. So I just wonder 569 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 5: if this could be a case of one of those 570 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 5: ridiculous trades we see with there's about three or four 571 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 5: picks involved, a couple of like Brisbane moves ahead with 572 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 5: X and Y, and it sort of just feels irrelevant 573 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 5: at the end. But we do know how much clubs 574 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 5: love to win trades, or at least feel like they're winning. 575 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 7: What's Brisbane's second pick after the I know they've got 576 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 7: early ones. They got to match the bit of the 577 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 7: annibal adedible. 578 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, so they've got seventeen, twenty three and forty four. 579 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 5: So again, but if you you know, let's say Adelaide 580 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 5: gives pick sixteen and they get back twenty three. 581 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, and then the future second as well, that seems reasonable. 582 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: I think so, MAXI one just beyond footy. Just to 583 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: appease our WWE fans out there, Australian WWE fans were 584 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: disgracefully disrespectful to the USA in Perth, fair or Fast. 585 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 7: What a night it was at eleven pm East Coast 586 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 7: time as Crown Jewel Perth was held because the Perth 587 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 7: government loves spending money to get people to go and 588 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 7: do events in wa. 589 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 2: Very even like by person it's normally everything is in 590 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: bed by that time, the fastest sleep by then. 591 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 7: But the crowd was not asleep. The crowd was electric 592 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 7: and they were booing the American anthem at the top 593 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 7: of that show, which was an interesting thing. 594 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: I think that's fair enough. 595 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 7: Speaking of face turns, I think America has only gone 596 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 7: a bit of a hill turn over the last year 597 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 7: or so. It's probably fair enough. It's just weird to 598 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 7: go overseas. If we played, okay, to be fair, when 599 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 7: we played China games, yes, which we all loved, obviously, 600 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 7: let's bring did They played the Australian anthem before Port 601 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 7: Gold Coast at jiang Wan Stadium in Shanghai, So maybe 602 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 7: maybe the Chinese fans boot us and that's why they 603 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 7: haven't gone back, and Koshi was upset. 604 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 5: They did play the national anthem before the NBL Pelicans v. 605 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 5: Melbourne Southeast Melbourne Phoenies, but they did both nationally. 606 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 7: That's America does that because America is weird and does 607 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 7: the anthem in every single sporting event. Maybe if we 608 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 7: had to do that for every AFL game. Well, it's 609 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 7: Securda North here Sunday for forty at Marvel, let's do 610 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 7: the anthem. 611 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: Very patriotic country, Yes, it is very patriotic country. 612 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 3: It was. It was a little bit jarring. 613 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 2: It has to say the least, and it's set tongues 614 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 2: wagging over in the in the US.
