Speaker 1: Nine Podcasts.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Norwegian. It's a Norwegian words for.
Speaker 1: That ball was So he's straight into row. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Eddie and Jimmy podcast for our Dick Die Possible
Speaker 1: getting to your questions and comments. Emails with a question
Speaker 1: or issue. Remember solutions are always welcome here. Email Eddie
Speaker 1: and Jimmy at nine dot com dot au. All thanks
Speaker 1: to tab. As we mentioned in Monday's episode, Eddie has
Speaker 1: taken his big suitcase of suits for a nice summer
Speaker 1: holiday and I've got James.
Speaker 2: Heard with him going to be here.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, we better play it safe here because Ed does listen.
Speaker 2: Does listen? Don't give him too much stick.
Speaker 1: You know, I was shocked. Actually we had a nice
Speaker 1: litt lunch myself, Richard the producer, silly little boy as
Speaker 1: Eddie calls him, and Ed showed up and he wasn't
Speaker 1: in a suit and they completely ra.
Speaker 2: Really never was he in lounge wear or what?
Speaker 1: Was he? A beautiful chinail? He had a nice polo shirt.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 2: Thongs and shorts.
Speaker 1: Did mcguigh own a pair of thongs?
Speaker 2: Maybe down the portsy beech chests.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be a nice burk and stuff with mate
Speaker 1: sandal number big bucket. He's listening, you're encouraging me. Let's
Speaker 1: kick it off, of course with your questions. I remember
Speaker 1: Eddie and Jimmy at nine dot com. You heerdi off
Speaker 1: I this one you This is from aj another new stadium.
Speaker 1: Over the past decade, there have been huge investments in
Speaker 1: Paramatta CBD, including a new metro line, new light rail,
Speaker 1: Combank Stadium, the Powerhouse Museum, and too many new skyscrapers
Speaker 1: to count. When the Eels or the Western Sydney Wanderers
Speaker 1: play a home game, there are huge crowds of people
Speaker 1: wearing their jerseys walking down Church Street and it's a
Speaker 1: great advertisement for their code. Is it time for the
Speaker 1: AFL to seriously consider building a new stadium for the
Speaker 1: Giants closer to the Para CBD.
Speaker 2: A new stadium for the Giants, I mean that stadium.
Speaker 2: I don't mind this. Where the stadium is, I think
Speaker 2: it's served by public transport. I don't know Sydney that well,
Speaker 2: but it seems to be well too well served by
Speaker 2: public transport. Don't park your Carlo though, I've been stuck
Speaker 2: in that car park many a time and cannot get out.
Speaker 2: But I think Giant Stadium is a pretty good stadium,
Speaker 2: except for the fact they can't use it for the
Speaker 2: six weeks over that Easter Show period.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the one issue. People will think Jesus's
Speaker 1: way out where. So it's actually the geographical center. And
Speaker 1: now that you've got the new tunnels, you can.
Speaker 2: Twenty five minutes in some suburbs in the morning. There
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: I think once you get there and you've spent a
Speaker 1: bit of time there coaching, I've spent a bit of
Speaker 1: time up on the board, it's pretty easy to get too.
Speaker 2: When I was coaching out there, I stayed at a
Speaker 2: hotel in Bondying and when you can use pick me
Speaker 2: up six fifteen outside the coffee shop and we'd have
Speaker 2: a coffee. But by the time we got there, we'd
Speaker 2: finished our first coffee and we're rolling into the stadium.
Speaker 2: So it was a pretty good place to go.
Speaker 1: I know, we're getting a little bit sidetracked because Peter's
Speaker 1: question regarding the Stadium of Tasmania, so it might pick
Speaker 1: it up as well. And this is just my two
Speaker 1: cents worth. And you've traveled the world and you've seen soccer, basketball,
Speaker 1: other sports, and I'm grabbing the team Tazzy as well.
Speaker 1: With this, we've probably got to start looking at public
Speaker 1: and private investment and funding regarding stadium So I think
Speaker 1: we tend to still look from a lens of we
Speaker 1: just need to build a stadium for the sport, and
Speaker 1: you're always going to get objections and using the Tazzy example,
Speaker 1: why would we spend close to the two bon dollars
Speaker 1: for eight games a year because you obviously still want
Speaker 1: to play some games up North endram Loney. Where the
Speaker 1: world has moved in the last ten fifteen years, especially
Speaker 1: in the States and of course in the UK, is
Speaker 1: you're building a precinct and you bring private funding in
Speaker 1: so they still could see the business case for it
Speaker 1: the commercial aspect. But then you're not just building a stadium.
Speaker 1: You're building is there a university?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: Is there restaurants? Is their bars? Is their housing? You're
Speaker 1: revitalizing an area like so far stadium in La. You
Speaker 1: look at the Clippers stadium over there, they're revitalizing areas.
Speaker 1: The Lakers Stadium that was revitalizing downtown La. Tottenham Hotspurs
Speaker 1: their new setup. I always was curious that that wasn't
Speaker 1: the very first approach from the stadium down at mac
Speaker 1: point there is how do you get the University of
Speaker 1: Tasmany to come out of Sandy Bay, which is in
Speaker 1: a fantastic spot there, but how do you get them in?
Speaker 1: They've got housing issues, they've got hospital issues. This is
Speaker 1: all from them.
Speaker 2: This is not my maty.
Speaker 1: This is often the rebuttle of why we're spending so
Speaker 1: much on the stadium, like how many issues can you
Speaker 1: potentially solve and using the stadium as the jewel in
Speaker 1: the crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's no doubt you need it. I mean
Speaker 2: you even look at the MC do the great stadium
Speaker 2: we have. I mean it's empty on a dale like
Speaker 2: today except for two blokes talking rubbish in on a podcast.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a couple of tours. But how do
Speaker 2: these new stadiums put in new areas? How do you
Speaker 2: make them? It's not just about the commercial side of
Speaker 2: things on match day, it's how do you use them
Speaker 2: seven days a week, twelve hours a day so that
Speaker 2: the private enterprise wants to spend money and wants to
Speaker 2: be involved and you're not taking away from the public
Speaker 2: purse because you look at as getting a bit more
Speaker 2: macro the debt around the world and what governments of
Speaker 2: the government debt. At the moment, I can understand why
Speaker 2: tas managers, you go, we need the hospitals, we need schools.
Speaker 2: But how do you make that stadium pay for itself
Speaker 2: and encourage private investment? And take this one step further.
Speaker 2: It's not just for stadiums, it's for public public rounds too.
Speaker 2: So if you're building a public football ground, you know,
Speaker 2: in the middle of Geelong, how do you make it.
Speaker 2: How do you get money from the private sector because
Speaker 2: they can make money out of as well, not just
Speaker 2: putting public money in.
Speaker 1: It draws people to the area, so it does the
Speaker 1: ground becomes the lighthouse like the drawing in aspect. And
Speaker 1: I remember as part of my university studies it was
Speaker 1: one of the topics and it was looking at the
Speaker 1: gentleman who actually built the Miami Heat stadium and hew,
Speaker 1: you keep banging his head up against the wall. Why
Speaker 1: can't I ever get approval for a basketball statment? He
Speaker 1: was naturally a big Miami Heat fan and he was
Speaker 1: one of the first to go, well, we need public
Speaker 1: and private funding, so just use the number ten. And
Speaker 1: so the local government he goes, if I went and
Speaker 1: presented a basketball stadium to ten. I'm going to have
Speaker 1: the three basketball fans go yes, and then you're going
Speaker 1: to have some go well, what will benefit me the most? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I might have yeah, come along with basketball. But he goes, so,
Speaker 1: I've already got those three to four convinced, But how
Speaker 1: do I turn the other six? And as soon as
Speaker 1: he realized, well, if I'm presenting an area there's a
Speaker 1: basketball stadium in it, he goes, massive, big arts precinct. Well,
Speaker 1: then you've got the person who's involved in arts and
Speaker 1: music and that cultural people. They're oh, okay, I'm going
Speaker 1: to get something out of it. Personally said well, we
Speaker 1: need money for hospitals, well, sports and hospitals and setups
Speaker 1: Olympic Park precinct over the road, Like, how does that
Speaker 1: get brought in down to Macquarie Point? You can there
Speaker 1: be apartment living nearby? Can we Oh, we've got a
Speaker 1: public transport issue? Can that be actually the end stop
Speaker 1: in a bigger rail play. I know it's spending more,
Speaker 1: and everyone's says, well, we've got no money, but not
Speaker 1: spending anything doesn't generate money either.
Speaker 2: But I think it's the way you look at the
Speaker 2: stadium too. We all have the stadium is looking onto
Speaker 2: the fields, but it's the way the stardium looking outly
Speaker 2: into the community and how can that be used? And
Speaker 2: that's why the roof discussion does come in because if
Speaker 2: something does have a roof, it can be used inside
Speaker 2: of the communise for not just the for a game
Speaker 2: of soccer. Again in football, and if the bernabout is
Speaker 2: a classic example over in Spain, they built it where
Speaker 2: they could actually take out the floor, put in a
Speaker 2: swimming pool, put it in a concert, put it in
Speaker 2: a basketball court, put it in a tennis court. That's
Speaker 2: just for the that's just for the sport. Is a
Speaker 2: roof there, But then how does that startium look out
Speaker 2: onto the community? So every day it communes for medical imaging,
Speaker 2: it can use for university, it can use for different things.
Speaker 2: And I think you're exactly right. The way stadiums are
Speaker 2: viewed around the world is a lot different to what
Speaker 2: they were ten years ago.
Speaker 1: And that's a bit of Peter's point. He's gone down
Speaker 1: a different path. Should be AFL or Tasmania do a
Speaker 1: crowdfund for the Tasmania Stadium. That means mum's dads and
Speaker 1: businesses could all own shares of the stadium.
Speaker 2: Well, they could, but it wouldn't work at the moment
Speaker 2: because you wouldn't get any money back. And if you
Speaker 2: if you've only got what you're saying, eight games and
Speaker 2: maybe ten concerts, it's not going to be able to
Speaker 2: pay for itself. The stadium, in my view, needs to
Speaker 2: have somewhere around thirty forty events happening. How do you
Speaker 2: encourage for thirty or forty events, not just football? But
Speaker 2: then also to your point, how does the university get involved,
Speaker 2: How does the hospital get involved, How does the medical
Speaker 2: imaging get involved, How do people come there every day?
Speaker 2: And how has that startum generate revenue? If and I'm
Speaker 2: speaking without knowing amunt of knowledge, but if the Tasmanian
Speaker 2: government was presented with a private partner, who's going to
Speaker 2: stump up half the money, but they need to take
Speaker 2: half the revenue back, you know, over a thirty year period.
Speaker 2: Similar the way they built the toll roads. I mean
Speaker 2: the toill roads are a crossing example. Yes, they were
Speaker 2: built by the they were built by the government, but
Speaker 2: then you know, the link come in and they say, well,
Speaker 2: we're going to own the thing and we'll add the funding,
Speaker 2: but we want a lot of the revenue to come
Speaker 2: out of it.
Speaker 1: I'd still watch this space of course down in Tazzy
Speaker 1: and then it's a great suggestion by aj and where
Speaker 1: he was going regarding that Paramount Stadium is fantastic and
Speaker 1: it just draws people into the area. Scott down to nine.
Speaker 1: You and I were doing a bit of our ladder
Speaker 1: predictor last night. We're going down a deep dark hole
Speaker 1: there as well.
Speaker 2: You dragged me out pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: You can do your heading now. That's assuming that we
Speaker 1: can tip Creckly as well. We never get nine out
Speaker 1: of nine, Scott said, could be a hot take, but
Speaker 1: I feel like there are only nine teams left in
Speaker 1: the finals race. My evidence for this is the remaining
Speaker 1: games for the sides currently one to nine. The only
Speaker 1: silver aligning excitement was is I think you'll need fifteen
Speaker 1: wins to be clearly in eighth, so there could still
Speaker 1: be heaps of movement between those nine sides. We put
Speaker 1: the number at thirteen, as Hodo would say, thirteen gets there,
Speaker 1: fourteen you're a lock for thirteen and reasonable percentage you're
Speaker 1: pretty safe.
Speaker 2: Well the Bulldogs blogs ninth. Yeah, so it's Bulldogs, Bulldogs,
Speaker 2: Frio Giants and.
Speaker 1: Who the Giants and Hawn Hawthorn or above.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so basically Sons Sons, that's right. Yeah, those four
Speaker 2: into the last three spots. That's what we sort of
Speaker 2: come up with you, So one's got.
Speaker 1: To miss, yeah, and we look forward to their fixture.
Speaker 1: The Dogs have got a as far as ground location,
Speaker 1: a nice run because they play a lot of their
Speaker 1: games at Marvel. The Giants were the one where we
Speaker 1: just don't know, well, yeah, we can't get a read them.
Speaker 1: They go down and they roll the cats at gm
Speaker 1: hbut and the lines at the Gabatore and then they
Speaker 1: dropped one in Canberra to Port Adelaide, who were just
Speaker 1: going at that stage. They're probably the most difficult and
Speaker 1: probably got the one where you can't tip with any
Speaker 1: sort of certainty going forward. But the Sons have got
Speaker 1: a bit of a tricky running as well.
Speaker 2: If then missed, they've got the extra game and don't
Speaker 2: forget Tom Morris would fall off. If the miss they've got.
Speaker 1: That extra game which actually could become important, which the
Speaker 1: AFL have been dreaming about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were hoping hopefully that's not a dead Rubber,
Speaker 1: but that could be.
Speaker 2: I think it will be. It will be like we'll
Speaker 2: definitely life if not for the eight, for the positions
Speaker 2: in the eight and who gets the home final.
Speaker 1: I think it is down to nine because that leads
Speaker 1: so Cart Melbourne, Sydney Porter.
Speaker 2: In that next group, the Bombers.
Speaker 1: Bombers are in there, bombers, but a lot of those
Speaker 1: sides have to win close to seven of their last
Speaker 1: name nine to ten.
Speaker 2: The Bombs played eleven. Yeah, it'll it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: Who do you think out the out of the four
Speaker 1: that we mentioned. I think the Giants are the hardest.
Speaker 2: The Giants. The Giants if they continue the inconsistency the
Speaker 2: one for me, he'll miss out. But the Sons still
Speaker 2: haven't done it. They still haven't done it. That's the
Speaker 2: that's the heart. But the way they're playing, it's very
Speaker 2: hard to see them missing out.
Speaker 1: Feels up next Lucky Phil manufactured a Should umpires adjudicate
Speaker 1: manufactured head high tackle when players deliberately lower their legs
Speaker 1: the same couper it's around again on Friday Night and
Speaker 1: got away with paid free kicks? Should the umpires be
Speaker 1: allowed to call play on it's a tough one because
Speaker 1: it's a tough one. I think if a player deliberately
Speaker 1: duckts their head and literally drops their shoulder or lifts
Speaker 1: the arm or whatever, it's the umpire's getting a lot smarter.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the work we do a port Melbourne. The
Speaker 2: moment was she telling players not to tackle sometimes just
Speaker 2: to go and pretend to tackle. The player will fall over.
Speaker 2: Give an instruction. If you go and he starts to
Speaker 2: do it, just back off a bit and watching fall over.
Speaker 2: And it does. They fall over because you give away
Speaker 2: so many heads. We gave away thirteen head of high
Speaker 2: tackles one week. Just made you furious.
Speaker 1: Boys, Come on Martine on Friday night, I started laughing.
Speaker 1: He started, Actually he should do away with trying to
Speaker 1: milk the free because he actually starts fast too early.
Speaker 1: Now he actually starts picking the ball up and he's
Speaker 1: like looking for someone to like hook on Mark, you've
Speaker 1: got away from the tackle you first, and then lift the.
Speaker 2: One where they actually pick up the ball and run
Speaker 2: of the player and bang their head into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they drive into it a little bit off. That
Speaker 1: is players who grab their head after being tackled. Now
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it didn't hurt and all that. But
Speaker 1: we spoke about this early in the week regarding concussion.
Speaker 1: If you're grabbing your head and you're staying down, you
Speaker 1: can't look up and then play for the next ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes. Isn't that the signs that we want
Speaker 1: from the ark who's watching.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought, if someone grabs their head, you're off, son,
Speaker 2: you off and get the test. Yeah, they'll stop it
Speaker 2: pretty quickly if they spend twenty minutes on the bench
Speaker 2: because we're seeing a bit of that creep in. I
Speaker 2: saw one from a Jeae Loong player a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Name him.
Speaker 1: Come on, he does it again.
Speaker 2: But it's the thing we hate about soccer. But he
Speaker 2: did that.
Speaker 1: After I've got the threat him.
Speaker 2: Brave Jimmy, one more chances. But it's what we hate
Speaker 2: about soccer. Guys fall over and they do it deliberately,
Speaker 2: roll around so the I'll give a yellow card, give
Speaker 2: a yellow card. We don't want that coming to a game.
Speaker 2: If a player goes to the ground, holds his head, right,
Speaker 2: you're off twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: We're trading it serious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're training it seriously. They won't do it unless he's.
Speaker 1: Walking around going I can't hold my head.
Speaker 2: He's legitimately hurt.
Speaker 1: He should come off. Yes, yeah, I'm with you on
Speaker 1: that one. Thanks for that, Phil Jacob. Not fifteen. I
Speaker 1: was at the Ruse Pie's game the other week, Go Ruse.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's not a man called Luca, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't help but be reminded that not one person could
Speaker 1: be expected to hear not fifteen next to the boundary.
Speaker 1: Waiting for the whistle to not blow when you expect
Speaker 1: to be called from Mark just feels indecisive. Surely the
Speaker 1: AFL implements a signal, say blow the whistle two times
Speaker 1: to ensure that the player now's right away, that there
Speaker 1: is no and there's no confusion.
Speaker 2: No, sorry, I just like Juris Luca wasn't.
Speaker 1: No, it's actually dragable.
Speaker 2: No, I don't. May be disrespectful to blow the whistle
Speaker 2: at anytime. As soon as you blow whistle, whether it's
Speaker 2: one to us, everyone stops, so you can't blow it.
Speaker 1: Learn pretty quickly as soon as you say the umpires
Speaker 1: are actually before the balls arriving. If you listening when
Speaker 1: it comes through on the broadcast, a fifteen player.
Speaker 2: And you can you can actually hear Empires out in
Speaker 2: the ground and Grand fil and they maybe not a
Speaker 2: few of those bigger games, but most of the time
Speaker 2: you can. But what would be a classic that is
Speaker 2: to get the interpretation of the rules during the finals
Speaker 2: and then just go back and replay the interpretation of
Speaker 2: the rules about now and see if they change differently.
Speaker 2: I just think there's a bit more leoan in the
Speaker 2: finals as they should be.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm with you, Hey, we always want to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Send your questions email Eddie and Jimmy at
Speaker 1: nine dot com dot you and get involved and comment
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Joel Jumper sponsors. What would it take for
Speaker 1: a sponsor on a guernsey or a Jumper to have
Speaker 1: their colors integrated with team colors. I'm a pis man
Speaker 1: and appreciate having big sponsors in Emirates and Cavs see,
Speaker 1: but the color red has no play on our guernsey.
Speaker 1: Sure it's not ed we have a great design for
Speaker 1: our one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary where Emirates and
Speaker 1: cgu were in black and white or so? Why is
Speaker 1: the above number sponsors still there? It was broored in
Speaker 1: during Covidale, bringing money, but the COVID ship has long
Speaker 1: sail time to get rid of it and bring in
Speaker 1: players names instead.
Speaker 2: And tell you why it's in a different color so
Speaker 2: you can see that it stands out correct exactly. And
Speaker 2: they pay a lot of money and unfortunately they like
Speaker 2: sponsors or not. They pay for the players and they
Speaker 2: pay for facilities, and yeah, I wish there was less
Speaker 2: sponsors on a jumper, but that's the reality where we're at.
Speaker 1: We're not We're not NASCAR like, they're pretty small.
Speaker 2: They're pretty small. There's getting more and more though, but
Speaker 2: you understand why the sponsors need. But there is a
Speaker 2: point where having too many logos. Probably remember the old billboards,
Speaker 2: a back of coaches, all the coaches that would have
Speaker 2: remember Mark Williams had a wearing shirt yeah college shirt. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: that wasn't a look.
Speaker 1: I liked players names on the back of the jumper.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's still the case. There was
Speaker 1: an issue around licensing because technic, Cliff, your name is
Speaker 1: on it, you own that. A bit of a licensing around.
Speaker 2: Does that work in the US.
Speaker 1: Well, the players get a cut. That's why they say
Speaker 1: the biggest selling basketball top or NFL Jersey all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff baseball. But then there's some teams and clubs.
Speaker 1: I know obviously the New York Thanks. You never have
Speaker 1: your name across it, right, okay, because you're just a
Speaker 1: custodian of that uniform.
Speaker 2: I actually like that view that your number or the
Speaker 2: number you're wearing is just passed down from the person
Speaker 2: to person. The person you don't know that jumper. And
Speaker 2: one of the things that was said to me very
Speaker 2: along by Terry Downer, who I got to Westerners. You
Speaker 2: know the fans own this club or the supporters, and
Speaker 2: say fans the supporters own this club as their club.
Speaker 2: You're just here for a period of time and do
Speaker 2: the best you possibly can to perform in front of
Speaker 2: them and for them, because that's who owns the club. Yep.
Speaker 1: And I'll be the same. My number three, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like I own it. I've just been I'm just
Speaker 1: part of the number three club within it in the
Speaker 1: club at Geelong and your former a bond with all
Speaker 1: the other number threes. Fred Willer was the first to
Speaker 1: kick that off. He's the nineteen sixty three premiership captain
Speaker 1: of Gelong war number three and the day I got
Speaker 1: given number three. I got a lovely letter from him
Speaker 1: and welcome to the mini club there at Geelong and
Speaker 1: kept in contact since. And Brandon Parferd who won a premiership,
Speaker 1: and then the Dave Bailey Smith got number three. We
Speaker 1: all see him a message and welcoming to the number
Speaker 1: three clubs. So yeah, I'm with you. You're there for
Speaker 1: a period of time, you do your best for the
Speaker 1: jump around that number and then you pass it on.
Speaker 1: You don't know. I don't know whether that helped you
Speaker 1: or not. Joel slash ed Jake. With the additions of
Speaker 1: GWS Gold Coast and soon to be twenty teams, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure about twenty just yet.
Speaker 2: Jake.
Speaker 1: Has the AFL spread itself too thin with the talent?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that there's enough talent
Speaker 2: out there and it encourages the game. And it's more
Speaker 2: it's more to me, is there too much football on TV?
Speaker 2: Is there is there too much for the supporter basis?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think it spreads. The talent is
Speaker 2: less concentrated that it was back in the day. But
Speaker 2: players are more talented now than they were in my day.
Speaker 2: There's more better players now they were in my day.
Speaker 2: The good thing is, and this is not a pro
Speaker 2: academy's thing. I'm just stating the facts. We're just going
Speaker 2: to see in this draft, and we've seen the last
Speaker 2: couple of drafts. The good thing for an AFL perspective
Speaker 2: and point of view is we're getting talent from broader Australia.
Speaker 2: More so until the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: We're being a national game, and we proudly promote we're
Speaker 1: a national game, but we're only a national game where
Speaker 1: the team plays its home games, not actually where the
Speaker 1: talent pool has been from. So if you go back
Speaker 1: five or six years, you're probably you're getting sixty I'm
Speaker 1: going to say sixty five seventy percent from here from
Speaker 1: Victoria and of course then South Australia WA, and then
Speaker 1: you'd have a smattering from Tazzy the old kid from
Speaker 1: New southlas and Queensland. The good thing for the game
Speaker 1: is the growth is the fact that yes a game,
Speaker 1: we'll have a there's a broader discussion around academies and
Speaker 1: things like that, but they're providing players.
Speaker 2: That's what the criticism of the Gold Coast Academy I
Speaker 2: think is short sighted. I think it's it's created, exactly
Speaker 2: your point, a broader pool of talent that we weren't
Speaker 2: drawing from before.
Speaker 1: Edward from Norway, Frosty boy up there, out of bounds.
Speaker 1: It's time we had a proper abbreviation for the long
Speaker 1: winded out of bounds on the full. My suggestion is,
Speaker 1: how would you say that? Get you get your glasses
Speaker 1: on in the bold That's what he once said, aggrediated it.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Norwegian. It's a Norwegian words out of bounds
Speaker 2: in the phon.
Speaker 1: We dropped the t freeze. I don't think there's much
Speaker 1: ease that ball was. So he's straight into.
Speaker 2: I haven't mean it. I have been in Norway, but
Speaker 2: in Iceland. I was there, and when twenty it was
Speaker 2: daylight twenty four hours a day, I think he wrote
Speaker 2: that one was darkness twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 1: You got a bit of time, Edward. We love the
Speaker 1: fact that you're listening from Norway. I'll pass it on
Speaker 1: to Tom Harley and Greg Swan and see iff takes off.
Speaker 1: You know why he's provided us with a solution.
Speaker 2: He hasn't. I like that like that to show.
Speaker 1: Tonight on.
Speaker 2: I didn't think that's about to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Kevin Calvin a feature feature Top ten tonight
Speaker 1: on as we are head to a break on a Wolf,
Speaker 1: proudly brought to you by tab.
Speaker 2: Edward.
Speaker 1: Keep them coming in, we loved them. George. Monetary rewards Gash.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if there's this has been done before.
Speaker 1: Do we have prize money in the finals? Does the
Speaker 1: Grand Final winner and run run up receive money. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see this go further.
Speaker 2: Eg.
Speaker 1: Grand Final winner two million dollars, run up one million,
Speaker 1: third down to eighth scale prize money add heaps of excitement.
Speaker 1: There has been prize money for quite a while. It's
Speaker 1: divided normally by the amount between the players and how
Speaker 1: many games you played. If you played every game. By
Speaker 1: the time it gets divvied up and everyone takes their cut,
Speaker 1: there's not much.
Speaker 2: No, there wasn't it. That's not a gripe it in
Speaker 2: our day, wasn't the Night series the night series and
Speaker 2: used to get half the half you won the Night Series?
Speaker 2: Or was the Nab Cup or the Anset cut back?
Speaker 2: Then half a go it was a footy trip and
Speaker 2: half ago to the Club's a couple of very good
Speaker 2: foot trips.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I know, I think when we won one year,
Speaker 1: you couldn't actually financially reward the players, but you could
Speaker 1: spend it on the players, and that's when we went
Speaker 1: and got the chef three year, the famous down in Geelong.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, we're like, oh, hang on, what would be
Speaker 1: great for us is having a nice cook lunch and
Speaker 1: we just.
Speaker 2: Spend it on. It's a difference twenty years. We spent
Speaker 2: on a footy trip but of course of four days
Speaker 2: and you spent on a chef for a years.
Speaker 1: Some days we wish it was to have a few
Speaker 1: more pots, but we did the smart or the wise
Speaker 1: thing and spending and the good health eat meals.
Speaker 2: But isn't there isn't there a prize man now for
Speaker 2: the amalgamation of the premiership the top and if w
Speaker 2: isn't there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah there is, but I think it's still gets.
Speaker 1: I think it still gets split up across the whole
Speaker 1: entire club. And it might help you put in an
Speaker 1: extra treadmill, or we can't spend all the players because
Speaker 1: there's implications there. There was another showdown. Thanks for joining
