<v Speaker 1>Nine podcasts.

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 2>My buy was largely on the comeback of Will Day,

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 2>who I reckon is as could have the impact and

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 2>play of Chris Chard. I think he's I think he's

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 2>that good and I think he's so important. Hello one,

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.480

<v Speaker 2>happy about this. And Vancouver. Have you ever been to Vancouver?

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I have as a kid.

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic place. You're flying to Vancouver and then you should

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>should do this. I tip you into my mate Michael J. Ballgore,

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>who's the vice president of Big White, which is in Kolona.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>So flying to Vancouver and then straight in the and

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>during so much magnificent. But you know, for us it

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>is just fantastic. If you want to take the kids,

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.279
<v Speaker 2>that's the place to go to. I'm not an investor

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 2>or anything. Read and authorized, just giving people the mail.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 2>If you want to do it. It is insational.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>We should take this show on the road more often.

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>ED sales just listening to that.

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm taking on the road soon. So half of

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>it anyway? Right, A pre season in La or Vancouver

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty out to promote AFL. Like it, Like

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>it a lot. The only problem is it's cold. Twenty teams.

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Could be a home and away season with each team

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>playing each other once and the derby round played twice

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>for a balanced fixture. Great. And what I do then

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>is extend the finals so you get the same out

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>of games on TV. All right? Do you want to

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>keep going?

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Yep? The winner gets five hundred k and five premiership points.

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>The loser of the grand final gets two hundred and

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty K two and a half premiership points. The two

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>losing semi finals one hundred and twenty one point twenty

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>five points. For losing quarter finalists gets sixty two and

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>zero point six two five premiership points. Let's make pre

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>pre season competitive and semi serious.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>So a lot.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>He's thrown an idea and he's created a bit of

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a solution to make it because you've got to play

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>for something, because everyone knows when it's a Mickey Mouse game.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>They go through the motions and that's not good for

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 1>people watching the game.

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep, there's one thing I know when in our game

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 2>of football, you put a dollar on the line and

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone suddenly gets their focus very quickly. Next one. So good,

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>thanks Douglas. I get what you're saying there, and I

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>agree with a fair bit of it.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>But the time of the year Vancouver, well that's winter.

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the pre but again and well, the AFL need

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>to get their foot off everyone's throwight on the on

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the soft cap to be able to do it because

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>they take it out of it.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>La is more likely because of the weather and proximity

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to a be closer than Vancouver.

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and probably. I mean the thing for the as

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>we do this deal with the NFL, if clubs are smart,

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that's that we're doing and go over and train and

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of things. Now we've already seen a

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of players now going up to Kata to Aspina

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the medical center up there to get looked over. Anyway,

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Brett read last touch, All right, here we go. Brett

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 2>says I had a thought bubble that the reason the

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>last touch in all situations never been brought in is

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 2>because it's too big of a penalty if the opposition

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>kicks a goal from an innocuous last touch free kick

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>inside forward fifty. Therefore, why don't make it like in

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>soccer where the ball is thrown back in, but instead

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>it has to be handballed back into play all across

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the field unless it's out on the four where you

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>can kick back as per usual.

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just mapping my way through he's suggestion there.

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>No, Well, the answer to that, I think is is

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>he ever throwing within the fifty meter arc? But at

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the same time, why do we always you know, we've

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>got points because you missed the goals, We have sixty

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>six to six and you get another go here, you

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>know all that sort of stuff. Why don't we just

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>make it the last touch? So keep it in and

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>if you don't, there you go. You'll get the same

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>chance at the other end.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think Brett, they'll try between the arcs before

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they go inside forward fifty. But just make it clear.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Because there was another series of cock ups over the

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 2>weekend on ball going over the line and was outbounds.

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, if he's the only thing with that, and I

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>know people.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It was further at the wae arms.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>The simple one on that is if he's outside foot

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>with his inside Let's go back that. If his inside

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>foot is on the line and his outside foot is

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>over the line and he marks it over the shoulder

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 1>of his outside foot, it's clearly out of bounce.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.239
<v Speaker 2>I heard you say that that made far too much sense.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Craig says, re AFL promotion. This one for Jimmy, because

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Eddie likely can't answer it, says, my interest is in

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the admin side of Australian sports leagues and how they

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 2>manage the business as a whole. In my opinion, the

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>AFL is such a great and so popular culturally that

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>it kind of runs itself and will always grow. But

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>how much depends on the quality of administration of the game,

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>It's promotion, etcetera.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>There you question, you can answer, yeah, well, the administration

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>is important because they set the direction of the game

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and where you want it to move to with the

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>on field product, but also the off field product. And

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>we talk about a fair bit here. Craig and D's

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>big on put the fix in fixturing because that can

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>help you promotion, whether it be nine time Grand Finals.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Or where you play fix out of fix.

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, sorry the other way around, and not put

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the fix in the fixture out, but take the fix

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>out of it. So it is really important that your

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>administration is strong, not only does for the now, but

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>gets their head up and looks into advance. What does

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 1>it look like to five ten years where we going teams,

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>where we're playing games? What's the time slot?

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Not get swayed and not get swayed by the fashion

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of the day. Yes, because just about every landmark decision

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that has been made in the last thirty years of football,

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the big ones, ground rationalization, nighttime football, the.

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Draft, it's okay to upset people.

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Everything has been pooh poohed. All right. I was in

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>a board when I told you this, a commission meeting,

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>AFL Commission, AFL presidents and two clubs, North Melbourne and

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Essendon stood up and said, if you put us on

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Friday nights, we will take you to court? Will suit you?

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>So a North carry on of it. They were the pioneers,

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>oh they were, but they played like going But then

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 2>you can discount that right. They jumped out and they

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 2>wanted to fill their new investment down a marvel both

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>teams and that's the way they thought they were going

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>to make money in those days because the TV money

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it good. So I'm not criticizing where they were,

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 2>but they missed the boat on that one. So all

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>those big decisions were completely hold down. Okay, some of

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.679
<v Speaker 2>them should have been held down, like the disintegration of clubs,

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to kill off clubs and merge them. No one

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>like I didn't like that one, but yeah, but most

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 2>of the big ones you've got to go with. So

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just been worried. I would love to see the

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>AFL really tighten things up for a little while. That

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean they can't be involved in social issues, but

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I think all things should focus on the development of

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the game. Okay, so we're getting you know, i'd love

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to I know we're playing up in l Springs this week,

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>which is great for Melbourne playing up there, but I'd

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>really like to see us doing some work into l

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Springs and into Darwin to get those pathways opened up

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>which fell down a bit because of COVID. No one's fault.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>They're bigger social element. You know. If the AFL can

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>solve the issues in Darwen and in Alice Springs, you know,

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>they're the first organization in the world to be able

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to do so. But I think there's some really positive

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>things we could do there.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully we touch on there, Craig, but keep your questions

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>coming through if you want us to get into a

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>different angle of that.

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>So the bottom line is, yes, the game saves itself

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>from administration in a lot of cases, but yes we

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>can turbo charge it if we folks us in the

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>right areas.

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Ye yes, Brendan, West Coast money Why and West Coast

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>pay the luxury tax and bolster their football department as

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>well as look at private cross country flights and leverage

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>their financial strength. No point adding gold bars to the

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>vault every year and finishing last, totally great point, Brendan.

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>If you can pay it and it does give you

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a benefit and can fast track your rise up the ladder,

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. There is a certain point where members go,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you just give us another financial report

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>where we made five million profit. If you sit and

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>we made two men but we won an extra ten games, well.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I suppose it also, and it's not any club at all.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Clubs at the moment, we've got to be careful that

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>people who come from a finance background, and you know,

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the corporate world, don't lose sight of the fact that.

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>You're there to play football.

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you know things like when ross Lyon

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>and Dimmer have a blue on the weekend, that's great

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 2>because they're actually in their fight. They know what it's

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>all about. You know, they're fighting for every inch in

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that situation for West Coast Egles. So I wouldn't have

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 2>no complaint. Again, you have to make sure that balance

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>itself right out, but I'd have no complaint with a

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>private jet or a plane being used to ferry those

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>sides on the long hauls outside the cellar cap Just

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>that makes makes perfect sense to me. You know, work

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.959
<v Speaker 2>it out that if you know, all the other teams

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>have to do the same, workout where they're disadvantaged and

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 2>do it. I mean, there was a there was a

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>proposal put forward by James Hurd and myself a long

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>time ago to actually have a chartered flight starting on

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Thursdays that would fly players and supporters, but certainly players

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>around the country. And yeah, it made sense, made commercial sense,

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>made all the sense in the world. You would probably

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>take off Paul Little's got an executive jet plays out

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>at Tullamarine, so the players don't have to run the

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>gauntlet through the crowds and sit in the back of

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the plane and all that sort of stuff made sense

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to me. Yep, so there's an answer. But yeah, I

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 2>think West Coast, you know, the way they're going at

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the moment, they need teachers and coaches and things.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Why not lots of development staff all that.

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Because we need them up and going again. West Coast, Yeah,

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>they're very, very important part of our football world. Aiden says.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>If we assume that fifteen meter kicks have been clamped

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>down to promote a faster flowing game, then I have

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>another solution. If a players tackled over the boundary line

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 1>and they prior opportune to dispose of the ball, then

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the tackle should be awarded and the player should be

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 1>pinned holding the ball. I actually saw I reckon just

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>say about four rounds ago. I started to actually pay

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a few where if you got tackled legitimately inside the

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>boundyline and then it eventually finished over and you didn't

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>make an attempt to get rid of it, they got pinned.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>But then it's that have went by the wayside.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Again, I agree entirely with Aiden. I think that's one

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent. Thank you, Aiden. I should put you on

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the commission because if it's rumor, got a rumor I've

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>heard heard that maybe the rules committee might be coming back.

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Really because I'm still on it, but I haven't heard

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>from him for five years.

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You're on something that you don't know is still going.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>No, it's stopped during COVID and didn't come back.

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Really, same sort of setup with some like a mix

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of CEO players coaches.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Something that you should be on. I would suggest you

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>sit next to me because I'm still on it. I

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>think I think I've been resold completely.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I has got my number on the no.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>But we need to get a few people who may

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 2>have a bit of a dissenting view. But that's a

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a very good it's I agree they just fall

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>over the bandlin. But that's where last touch comes in because.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>If you take them mark and run out of bounds.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>See you take the mark in play running band it's

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>still mark. So if you have a tackle and then

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>eventually it takes you out of bounds, you still got

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to try and attempt to get rid of the footbag.

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, DEAs says the under nineteens he's going to there's

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.839
<v Speaker 2>a few pit into my forehand today. After the back

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 2>of your discussion last week, I see a lot of

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>young footballers get lost in the system. I agree with you,

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>is before they have a chance to get to AFL level,

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>they get their sports lives turned upside down with the

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>thought of playing AFL. Unfortunately, squads get trimmed down on

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a regular basis. In a lot of cases, these young

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 2>boys have their dreams shattered and are lost to football.

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's just stop there, okay, thoughts.

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I completely like we we often hear about like

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on the weekend, we hear about Mitch Duncan's three hundred

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and Christian Petrarca two hundred and Toby Green two fifty.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>For every one of those gentlemen, there's fifteen who are

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>in and out of the system.

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>And you and raise you on Ned Long who was

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 2>discarded and could have easily landed on the scrap pape.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.199
<v Speaker 2>He gets another go, fights through the VFL and is

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>now the centnamon for calling it on top of the ladder. So,

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>because I'm getting sick of hearing midfielders, I want people

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 2>being called by their positions. It plays in the center.

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I was thinking about the ruck Rover.

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 2>He's not a Rover's centament.

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 1>It's funny you say that. Again. We spent too much

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>time together, so you must be in my brain. When

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I was growing up, I had a peculiar quirk that

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I like to be named as the center over a

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>rock Rover. And I don't know why, but this is

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>just a visual thing for me. When the coaches put

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>your name, I felt like I was on the field

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and I just felt like center just sat more comfortable

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>with me. So when they'd write down if you go in,

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>what position do you play, I'd write center, because you

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people go on ball or rock.

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I just center.

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I just had a hang out all like my underage footy,

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>where do you play center?

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I used to like I wanted to play center because

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it meant you didn't change as well. Rock Rover changed

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 2>in the forward half back flank, used to change what

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 2>rovers in the forward pocket, Ruckman in the back pocket,

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and rock Rover on the half back flank or half

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 2>forward flank, one or the other. I liked to stay

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in the center all day. If you need the rest,

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>you just played a kick behind play for a few minutes,

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 2>get your breath back.

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>And it made no sense. There was no different because

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>your start, but there was just it was always a

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 1>weird hang up that I had, Like in my junior

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>teams at Bell Park and at school football.

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 2>When you played center back in the day, the coaching

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of manual back in those days for Cinnamon when

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I played, was that you you went deep into defense

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to support and you'd kick it. It was a throw

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>in the forward pocket or something. You get back a

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>kick behind play to try and market, get the angles

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>right there, and then run and put it through if

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>you could. Was that was that sort of your your

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>positioning out What was your thinking in the way you play.

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>My thinking was center was your case.

0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>You got the ball, so he just went and got it. Well,

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 2>my thing was to think a bit more about it.

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>My thing, he was saying, it was constantly positioning yourself

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>also to mark the footy like you're another market. Whether

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you're intercepting like they kick it in deep, you come

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>over market, or you push forward to market.

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's just the way I approach. That's just

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I get over there and.

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Up he went.

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, the third up, you're jumping the bruck, get

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>up to take his skidney out on the way through it.

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 2>No we don't do that. No, no, no, no, no,

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>He continues there, whilst I know it will never happen

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>because of the desire to get the biggest poll available,

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I would like to see the return of the under

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>nineteen competition. This will give the youngsters a club to

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 2>belong to under the auspices of a big club administrations.

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I've been screaming by this for years. I would rather

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>get a letter from North Melbourne than Carter Accountants. So back,

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I've still got mine from turn Up the Training and

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>easy View and all that sort of thing, signed Dennis

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Pagan and all that sort of stuff. Well John Dugdale,

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 2>that's about as far as it went, and contracting to

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 2>come an email. But but I think, and not only that,

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 2>but I think it leads to the facilities now grade

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>at all the AFL clubs and you go down to

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Disneyland and you havever look around and go, wow, this

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 2>is unbelievable. You know, would you rather go now? Downdroating

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>is do a great job. I'm not knocking them, but

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 2>even if it's just as part of that that you

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>know there's three clubs in Melbourne for example, that could

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>be associated. If you're at Sandringham, obviously you've got you know,

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>some killed Melbourne should be involved and I don't know

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>who else is there probably calling, I don't know whatever,

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>But if you had that sort of thing, it just

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 2>makes makes for far better interaction. Do you still have

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.280
<v Speaker 2>pine ight's these days? So they should have every every

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 2>AFL club, I reckon should have a pine ight a

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 2>pine Night every week at their headquarters and bring in

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>all turning on under eleven's. You know the mild days

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 2>was the Northern Metropolitan Football League. You know, go down

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 2>there and you can have one player turn up and

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, the assistant coach or whatever, and you look

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>around and maybe you know, have a swim in the

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>pool beforehand and go for a run around the the

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>oval and have a kick to have a training run

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and do something like that. That'd be fair, How good

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>would that be?

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>You just pull about great memories of the old pie night.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I remember that. I remember the Sint Dominic's

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>under eleven's and Broady I was a pinineid on Andy

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and the coach said to me after training. He said,

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you come in to night and I'm not quite sure

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and he said, no, you've got to come tonight. We've

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>got to gues speaker. I said, oh yeah, and he

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 2>said a guy called Alan Keller Grew. You know about

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Ellen Killer Grew, Yeah, who got arrested at Geelong going

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 2>up the race the wrong way in a blue that

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 2>happened at halftime, just before halftime. But he was the

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>hot Gospeling coach Killer and he got up this day,

0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 2>this night, I was nine years of age, and he

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>gave an old fashion this is what it's all about.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 2>You know. He's a devout Catholic as well as at

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dominic Football Club, and so all the pride in

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>everything that was your sort of hearing it. And at

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that stage, this is in the seventies, the move was

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.640
<v Speaker 2>towards no trophies and everyone's equal and all that sort

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. And so I was looking for something outside

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of what my family was saying to me. And suddenly

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy gets up, Wow, and I kept. His message

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 2>still resonates with me to this very day. I ended

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 2>up writing a year twelve essay about it as part

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.399
<v Speaker 2>of my exams. About the guy and his influence and

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the knock on effect of these type of things. So

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that's how big the influence can be if you get

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 2>somebody up who connects with somebody. I don't have anyone

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 2>else in that room at some dominic's Imbroady even remembers

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.679
<v Speaker 2>that it happened for me. It was like soul on

0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the roads at Damascus and suddenly I at sea. It

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 2>was it was, it was that bigger moment for me

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 2>good and that changed. It did change my life, changed

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 2>my what I needed now. So there there's we've got

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the Pineid back under nine means.

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that just all on that restructuring. There

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>was an opportunity with COVID when all competitions sort of

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>got shut down at those underage levels. Story set it,

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't taken. So we are where we are.

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 2>So I think we should be playing. Looking at the

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>VFL as well. I think, you know, we should be

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>putting in teams from and even having a second division.

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>But Narry Warren and uh, you know, Craigie Burn and

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 2>all the growth theorists should be in there. You know,

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>they should's great having Coburg and all the historical clubs

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 2>and port Port, Melbourne and things, but nothing in the

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>city area. We should be beyond the ring Roads where

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>we should be. Casey should have a team, Narry Warren,

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 2>get the best teams in there. Use the local competition

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 2>as the feeder competition. Support those loan book competitions. I

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>was always filthy when they roll righted the VFA. That's

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to call the VFA back in the day. But the

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 2>VFA used to have first senior's team, second reserves team

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and an under nineteens in first division, second division, and

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.679
<v Speaker 2>you had the VFL back in those days. Into the AFL.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>They just disappeared and then you head your like all competitions.

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Our population's gone through the roof. We seem to have

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 2>far less. And I've said this plenty of times to you,

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 2>But I mentioned in Northern Metropolitan Football it doesn't exist.

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 2>So my old team, so Dominics doesn't exist. Neither does

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the league in the fastest growing corridor in the country.

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm with you, Mant Thanks Dairs, Brian, you

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>can go with this Hawks signings.

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's address the elephant in the room. Sam Mitchell's signings

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of Battle and Barrass haven't worked out, and Sisley's impact

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>has dropped off a cliff as a system no longer works.

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't the Hawks have been better off using that money

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 1>to chase Tom Lynch from the Tigers.

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Brian bra I think to have a drug test for you.

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't quite worked. But they're a lot further in

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 1>front than they were this time last year.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Tom Lynch from the Tigers the tolls.

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think I think what he's saying is he

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>should he have gone after key Ford and said some

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>more key Boucks.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's I thought Battle and Brass worked for

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the first couple of weeks.

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>They're all just trying to find their place.

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Of course, what is I would have thought. Siicly has

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 2>just really banged up.

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he's going to cook groin which is impacted.

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Major surgery on his shoulder in the preseason.

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a knockdown effect. So Cicily and Scrimshaw are

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 1>finding they've gone from taking the oppositions big boys with

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Frosty and now Battle and Brass to that. So where

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>do we fit?

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>And some times we said this when we bought big

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 2>on Hawthorne when they were zero five last year. My

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 2>buying was largely on the comeback of will Day, who

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I reckon is as could have the impact and play

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 2>of Chris Chad. I think he's I think he's that

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>good and I think he's so important to that Hawthorne side.

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 2>He's been out. It's not just one thing. Obviously, people

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 2>are going to work on Hawthorne now. You know, they

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 2>brought a lot of attention on themselves and they're getting

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of attention. They're now being coached against as

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>opposed to ambushing clubs, so there's a lot of that

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 2>in it. But I think Hawthorne still got a lot

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 2>left in season twenty.

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Will be okay. They're in a much better launch pad

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>this time compared to last year.

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I said Hawthorne and Stephen Quartermain's name came up. There

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 2>you go, there's three names. Tell me read those three

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 2>names of messages I've just received talking about Hawthorne number

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. There you go, I've invited into the box

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>for Friday Night, which is filled up with Hawthorne blakes,

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and then give it to them. Win the pies, roll

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>over them. Kai Broadcasting broadcast, We did a bit of

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 2>broadcasting the other day. I just read it says, how

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 2>do you feel about the new media landscape you're shaving

0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>up this season. How do you feel about the commentary teams?

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that. Friday Footy on Fox had what

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Hutson and Montana aw call in the game. It's like

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>serving messed potatoes with a side of fries and hash brown.

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I like all three of those. I'm a big

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>potato mashed potatoes.

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 2>I went to my auntie and uncle's place in Ireland

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and my wife, Carlor was with me. There were six

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>types of potatoes. Yeah, it's colored potatoes, messed potatoes, boiled potatoes,

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>roast potatoes, what else? And fries? And I ate them all.

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>What a servant the potatoes.

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 2>The Irish died when.

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 1>NOCKI Jesus punches above, it's white. The potato.

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Kept the generations, kept the country alive. The old default

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>was always one play by play, one color commotato. So

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.719
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm just old fashion. But three play callers as

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 2>lopsided as heck Well.

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Montagna was special comments, a bit of special comments.

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 1>But his calling is really good too, Les Montagna.

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I like him, Yeah, I think you should. I like

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 2>two commentators. I think one sometimes ends up becoming a

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 2>bit monotonous, and I like the changeover when you have

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>two calls. So when I called on Fox Footy, I

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 2>actually said I want to have a second caller, not

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:21.639
<v Speaker 2>because of any other reason other than I called a

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of own was it no problem? But I liked

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the idea of flicking between the two picks the play

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and as the game changes, so when there's a turnover

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and get into it and it keeps the energy up.

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Is the way I like it.

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you're too tough on potatoes, Kui agreg the commission.

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Why does edithink? Sorry stadium? Why does anythink it's acceptable

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>for God to continue for another term? The AFL needs strong, clear,

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 1>overt leadership. The pendulum has swung to NRL. Look at

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>the daily media reporting generally now more NRL than AFL

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 1>five years ago. The opposite this is urgent vision and

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>action is needed.

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think what again? I think what we need

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 2>to do is have a good look at where we

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>are all over the place, and so if it needs change, yeah,

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>but before we say we need change, let's find out

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 2>who the change agent will be. But I think that

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's time for a good refresh at the AFL.

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Whether that means Richard Gorda goes or not. But I

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 2>certainly think that there needs to be a refresh, And yeah,

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they need to. You're not worked really well

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the War Council during COVID we had, you know, and

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>we don't want to go back to the old days.

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Whether the presidents are in there pushing their own barrow,

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>but they're doing that now anyway. I think they have

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 2>far more lobbying capacity than what they used to do

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in the old commission days.

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a line of sight at all? And

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>announced I know? But when IFL is a big glacier

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to decision making, do we know when

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the goid decision is going to be, well, no, he's

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 1>moving on or yes he's no?

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think, I don't think. I know that

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Richard wants to stay on for another term or at

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 2>least until a transition comes into play. There is a

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of positions up at the moment. See what's also

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>happened is the AFL Commissioner has now become you know

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 2>where you need to have x amount of women on

0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the commission, which is a good thing. You also have

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to have said now we have to have an Indigenous

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:32.679
<v Speaker 2>commissioner once. One time we had five commissioners and they

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 2>were it was on and you know, supply and demand.

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.440
<v Speaker 2>People wanted to be on there, really good people and

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 2>it was you know, once you start to spread it

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>out and become single issue senators, then you end up

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>like the Senate. And so I think we need to

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>get a few people in there.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Do we know by finals time or is it no?

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't know. Well they've they've had the the

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:01.360
<v Speaker 2>selection committee, which I've sat on over the journey, and

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I sat on it when we appointed the first ever

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 2>female commissioner and I said at the time, rather than

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 2>get rid of Bill Kelty, who was a very very

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 2>very very very good commissioner, sensational commissioner, so important, we'll

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 2>just add one on which CAROLINEI also remember at the

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 2>time going having conniptions because she thought that it was

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:25.679
<v Speaker 2>just adding on that it was a token position. What

0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to was actually strengthen and Sam Moston, who

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 2>has gone on to become the Governor General of Australia,

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 2>got the job because she was from New South Wales.

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 2>She was connected up there and we needed to get

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 2>women into the whole idea and she was a great

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.360
<v Speaker 2>champion of women's football and had an impact. Linda Dessau

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 2>at that stage was the other option who went on

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to become the governor of Victoria, and Linda is sensational.

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Why she didn't get up was that I think we

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 2>had two essenon people on there as it was three

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 2>out of six was going to be a bit too

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>much at that stage. So then she evn became a commissioner.

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 2>She got on eventually and was a wonderful commissioner. Some

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 2>have actually said maybe she should be the next chair

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 2>and be that position as a chair as opposed to

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 2>an executive chairperson. There's a lot of things to look

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 2>out there, but no, I think there's no doubt that

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we need.

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>To So do you think it will happen in the

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 1>coming months? Another thing we talk about for eight months

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know.

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't get people to answer that question at the moment,

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 2>to be curious, to be absolutely honest, that's a question

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 2>that I'm asking as well.

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for that one, Brenda. Helping players, I'm a heartbroken

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Eagle supporter living in Melbourne. How can I volunteer and help,

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 1>especially with the afl W welfare seriously, after recent events,

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>how can a member of the general public help our

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>boys and.

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Girls well, bring the club, send a letter, Brenda, these

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 2>are professional organizations and you don't want enthusiastic amateurs. You

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 2>don't want to have too many people in the place.

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I have a say, which I'm going to I'll say,

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>but then let me correct it. Okay, Well, but volunteers

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 2>can cost you a fortune. Okay, the right volunteers are

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.760
<v Speaker 2>worth their weight in gold. Hopefully you're the right one, Brenda.

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 2>But what you don't need is more people just around

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the place, and you need people who can actually contribute

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>in the areas that you need contribution. So I agree

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>with Brenda. There's nothing better than having people there supporting

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 2>particularly aflw particularly vfl or Sandful or Waffle. In those situations,

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the senior teams have probably got enough. But yeah, I

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>think there's always need for welfare. And that's part of

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the reason why Jimmy and I I think in concert

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 2>and saying that the soft cap needs to be addressed

0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and fast.

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Ye I want to ask you next one, because you're

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>mister Stadiah. Could the AFL think big sell Marvel's air rights?

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure and to build above.

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, okay, yeah, that makes sense now and use

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the proceeds to build a sixty to sixty five k

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>seat roofed stadium and a world class golf course in

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Royal Park.

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Stop. So, Royal Park is not the spot because they'll

0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>never let anything. They turned it from football grounds back

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 2>in the day around the Royal Children's Hospital now into

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 2>passive recreation, wetlands and an oasis and it works, works well.

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:30.239
<v Speaker 2>So no, it's a Royal park. But I like your

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 2>thinking because it's I like it because it's a lot

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 2>like mine on this way.

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'll finish off part of the rest of the

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Neil suggestion. The park has, so just to continue, the

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 1>park has rail, tram and free way access and even

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the airport skybus can drop people from the airport of

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the gate. It also gives essenon Carlton and North and

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the booming Northwest Corridor which you're spoken about at doorstop venue.

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Royal Park hosted footy in the eighteen sixties. This would

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 1>be a true homecoming and Melbourne tecond beating heart of sport.

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, because Royal Park won't happen.

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, just but that whole concept another.

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Pre concepts good, So where would I go. I've promulgated

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the idea of selling Marvel getting whatever you can for

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>it there because it's probably had it stay. Yeah, my word,

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 2>that's it. But that that's like Waverley, We've got that

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>built this. The two areas I'd like to look at

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 2>is I'd like to look at building a fantastic stadium

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 2>at Gosh's Paddock, getting rid of Amy Park, but really

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 2>building something great that could.

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Be for give it to the rectangle stadium purpose. Yeah,

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but that's fantastic for this the rectangle sport.

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not as fantastic as you think. It's all right,

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>it's okay.

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you apply it and saying that, yeah exactly.

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 2>But what I'm saying is that that that doesn't mean

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 2>we lose the rectangular stadium. I would I'd probably fix

0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 2>up the athletic stadium a bit more down there as well.

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Gives you an opportunity for some of the smaller games.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 2>But if you built something that could have the roof

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>for concerts and really turning something along the lines of

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 2>what they've done at the bernabout in at ACMA Land. Okay,

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you have a look at that and you'll get look

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>at look it up in YouTube and look at what

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 2>they do with the floor and what they do with

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling. The whole thing is fantastic. The other one, though,

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 2>if you want to sort of stay down that end,

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>is there's a block of an area of land called eGate.

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever heard of eGate?

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Took me where we so?

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Gate is another two Anthony Rocker torpedoes from Marvel.

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Stadium heading towards the big wheel.

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Further down go past the wheel, So it's the area. Yeah,

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 2>that wheel's on the closer to the water gates on

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the other side of big block of land there you've

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:53.360
<v Speaker 2>got you know, the old Market gardens is a ton

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 2>of land there that people have been looking at for

0:32:56.760 --> 0:33:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a long time. So that's even closer to proper where

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the new Arden station and things that are happening.

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:07.560
<v Speaker 2>So so it all works. So to Neil's point, that's

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>probably the place. So can you get enough money out

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 2>of the commercial rights for Marvel and buyl that over

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>and build an e Gate stadium there that also works

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 2>for women's football and all those sorts of things. That's

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 2>where I'd be heading. Don't forget, We've got to build

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 2>this as well at some stage.

0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And you want a roof on this well, I think

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 1>people aren't awag You and I both blend a sofa.

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:39.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a roof, but it's kind of a I don't

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>think it is a marble roof.

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 2>No, it's an outdoor roof, if you know what I mean.

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean. The other one to have a look at

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 2>for everybody is have a look at Frankfort Stadium and

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 2>what they do with their It's almost like an umbrella

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 2>opening up and that would then give you the opportunity

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to have a big screen in the middle of the

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 2>ground as well, obviously high enough for the ball, doesn't

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 2>it a bit you know what I mean? And and

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 2>really get this place humming. But we need to do

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 2>more with that. The big the big ass and state

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 2>government doesn't have the money that it once has, no,

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.840
<v Speaker 2>but there's money elsewhere. You've got to think, where are

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 2>we going to be in twenty twenty fifty with this

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 2>stadium or at least twenty forty twenty thirty five. Last

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>year Collingwood and Melbourne stopped in the last quarter for

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 2>forty five minutes. If that had been for a place

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 2>in the finals, people have been having gone berserk. Lightning

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 2>is the thing, whether you're at climate denial or whatever,

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 2>climate has changed.

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Part of this is to update the couple of the

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>train stations around you too.

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that that whole connection, and we should be

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.520
<v Speaker 2>connecting into Melbourne Olympic Park, trust into that Tennis center.

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 2>That should be the area where you are. You know,

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I look at it as well, Jimmy, and I say, Okay,

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 2>what's changed now even in the last two months. You've

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 2>got to queue up a lot longer now to get

0:34:56.120 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 2>in since those knuckleheads brought the guns in. Do you

0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 2>do that? Well, maybe it's better if you actually instead

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 2>of being up the pubs in Swan streeta in the city,

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 2>instead of landing here with a minute ago, if you

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 2>actually were inside the stadium, have already done your entry,

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 2>you've done your checks and there's things to do. That's

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:18.960
<v Speaker 2>that's where life's going, I believe. But Neil A great Yeah,

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:22.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a great question one clearly that we've been talking

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 2>thinking about, and yeah, all that is on the table,

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 2>but everyone seems to just tighten up on how you

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>go back getting the money. Whereas I look, you have

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 2>a look at Tottenham Hotspur and you have a look

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 2>at the Frankfurt Stadium and certainly look at the Bernabau

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:42.879
<v Speaker 2>and they can't jump over the money they're making now

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>that they turned it into a different style of place. Again,

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you have got that over there that's a seventy story building.

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:54.919
<v Speaker 2>If it went that way right, it's empty, it's sort

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 2>of full. Well, this week there's one game for three.

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 2>If there's three on a weekend, that's what nine hours. Ye,

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Now there's ways of doing things. I mean, you know

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 2>we're here because we've turned this box. There's no one

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:11.600
<v Speaker 2>else in any of the boxes. We've turned this into

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 2>a studio because it makes sense to do something a

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 2>bit different. So yeah, I think we need to have

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 2>a look at it and just where we're going with

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 2>all these things. Thank you, Neil great. They were all

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:25.319
