Speaker 1: Nine podcasts.
Speaker 2: Let's say one of my sons have another one somewhere.
Speaker 2: Let me take that back again. Of course it's not
Speaker 2: one that sort of just rings up and.
Speaker 1: Just going to you can be a lot of trouble here.
Speaker 1: No the phone to start to me.
Speaker 2: Hello Ever on Eddie and Jimmy, the Jimmy this time
Speaker 2: is the great James heard Jimmy?
Speaker 1: How are you good? Mate?
Speaker 2: You once had a Jimmy show, didn't you?
Speaker 1: Pig Pig Jimmy and Rueboy, Jason Dunstall myself and Wayne
Speaker 1: care Actually saw Wayne Carey on Sunday. He's looking pretty
Speaker 1: fit and healthy.
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Fourth child came along.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's got to get him a TV, don't we.
Speaker 2: Eddie and Jimmy at nine dot com dot Au thanks
Speaker 2: to Tab. Thanks to Gil mcclochland. Another way you need.
Speaker 2: He's got his own football team, both of kids as well,
Speaker 2: Gil and more importantly, the beautiful Laura had a milestone
Speaker 2: birthday recently, and happy birthday to Laura. She's far younger
Speaker 2: than Gil and farm more's intelligent as well. May I say,
Speaker 2: but thanks to Tab, this is Eddie and Jimmy. Now
Speaker 2: jim before we go onto our emails. One I wanted
Speaker 2: to mention yesterday do you remember a lease mate. She
Speaker 2: used to be a Solis Century model and a host
Speaker 2: around town and really good person and she's now Alise
Speaker 2: May McKinnon and she's with Farmer Led Drought Relief Alliance.
Speaker 2: And I got a message from the Great John Sammy Newman,
Speaker 2: who of course was from Geelong, grew up when Geelong
Speaker 2: was the country area. And what they're wanting to do
Speaker 2: is they're obviously supporting our farmers in drought and they've
Speaker 2: putting together an idea that maybe we need to have
Speaker 2: a green armband initiative for farmers. Now I'm just about
Speaker 2: over weeks of browns and things. I think there's ways
Speaker 2: of doing it that can get far better impact. I
Speaker 2: think this is one that we should step into because
Speaker 2: country football has been the lifeblood of our competition. So
Speaker 2: they're talking about they're looking at doing all sorts of things,
Speaker 2: getting involved with the universities, the government, et cetera, et cetera,
Speaker 2: and they want the AFL. So I think they're asking
Speaker 2: Elisa's asking what do we think and would we support that?
Speaker 2: And the answer is a resounding yuests absolutely.
Speaker 1: I think particularly the drought effected areas around Victoria and
Speaker 1: South Straight at the moment yep.
Speaker 2: And I'm actually talking with maybe of taking our show
Speaker 2: up to the country next week.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy the amount of rain they get in Queensland,
Speaker 1: in northern New South Wales and the weather we have
Speaker 1: down here. There should have been something done a long time.
Speaker 2: Well for the second day in a row, quite Dick Pratt,
Speaker 2: So Richard Pratt came up with his idea of begging
Speaker 2: digging a trench through central Australia from northern Queensland and
Speaker 2: norm of course they will laughed at it. Oh, it'll evaporate,
Speaker 2: and he said, well you put a cover on it, okay.
Speaker 2: And he believed that that's what should have been one
Speaker 2: of the big infrastructure projects for Australia at the time.
Speaker 2: This is going back twenty five years ago, so it
Speaker 2: would have been done and be able to regulate it
Speaker 2: through all that area. Imagine if you actually had irrigation
Speaker 2: in central Australia.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people tell us, a lot of
Speaker 1: people tell us why it shouldn't happen because of the environment.
Speaker 1: But I I ondred percent agree with Jim.
Speaker 2: You can't have too many ideas made you get.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree with you because the amount of
Speaker 1: rain up there would really help the rest of Australia.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get stuck into the other questions, Steve
Speaker 2: says re North Melbourne, Eddie, you've presently mentioned in the
Speaker 2: pastority for North Maldon focus on the northern corridor of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I firmly believe that as a club we need to
Speaker 2: develop a supporter base. You aware of this one?
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, I couldn't agree more, but we might. The
Speaker 1: Bombers might get their first if you're not careful.
Speaker 2: Well, I've been pushing them. Well what happened is my
Speaker 2: brother's local members and essident supporter North didn't want to
Speaker 2: do it. He went Essen, who have been a bit tardy,
Speaker 2: but they've now got there.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a changing face of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I mean Melbourne four one hundred thousand families moving in
Speaker 2: north of broad Meadows. The team I played for doesn't exist,
Speaker 2: the league doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I'd go out every year for Anzac Day with Sheds
Speaker 2: or a Nessa Blair and you know the Colin Goood
Speaker 2: player come out. My brother organized fist uar. We did it.
Speaker 2: We did it with my old school and Dominic's and
Speaker 2: the local primary school that was in our street, which
Speaker 2: used to be I think it's called broad Meadows something now,
Speaker 2: but it used to be called East Meadows Primary in
Speaker 2: those days. Anyway, over a few years we actually got
Speaker 2: all the schools in from Forkner and Glenn Roy and
Speaker 2: it was fantastic. Got the Army camp where that's where
Speaker 2: the Diggers trained to go to Gallipolis. And of course
Speaker 2: now it's the biggest Middle East and diaspora in Australia
Speaker 2: is in that area. So it's a wonderful connection of
Speaker 2: the Johnny's and medmates coming together again. So we do
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. And now the bombers I think,
Speaker 2: are looking. I wanted to I wanted to throw everything in.
Speaker 2: Being a Brodie board, I want to throw the pies
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 1: Success.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing was I thought for North I didn't
Speaker 2: need you blokes to stick your head because Richmond Richmond
Speaker 2: went out there one stay.
Speaker 1: But it is, you know, it is our area, like
Speaker 1: that Essen is based on Tymraine. We were sort of
Speaker 1: been there for what's that Windy Hill is closest to
Speaker 1: that area as well.
Speaker 2: Do you just want to evict the cricket Club started.
Speaker 2: I was the correspondent for Essendon in the district Cricket.
Speaker 1: That's the reason we'ro out there, because it's not the
Speaker 1: Creeit Club. Is that there was a croquet That's the reason,
Speaker 1: which is quite hard to believe. Don't start that that.
Speaker 2: Could find a place for that.
Speaker 1: But my point is that you've got if it's a
Speaker 1: game for Australians, which should be, you have to I
Speaker 1: think this is the game that can unite communities and
Speaker 1: I think it's what's that.
Speaker 2: No, we did Colin the Crecket Club got great facilities
Speaker 2: in Campbellwell and when it became Campbell and Magpies and.
Speaker 1: So you shifted the Collingwood Football Club the Campbewell Cricket
Speaker 1: Club Creek Club.
Speaker 2: Sorry, but they wanted to because it was better facilities
Speaker 2: and it worked better for them and the cost of
Speaker 2: keeping Victoria Park up was no good and we needed
Speaker 2: and calling football club is a far bigger entity made
Speaker 2: a lot more sense.
Speaker 1: Did it.
Speaker 2: Beautifully? It was before my time and they went out
Speaker 2: there and it's become David Emerson used to play for him,
Speaker 2: and you know there's a great connection between Collingwood Football
Speaker 2: Club and the cricket club. And so they went at
Speaker 2: the Discraalcruit Club become a fantastic cricket club. And then
Speaker 2: when we sort of left and went to what was
Speaker 2: the Lexus Center the Olympic Park, we are actually able
Speaker 2: to double back. Once the council had all started falling
Speaker 2: apart and a former resident president as a politician, Lindsay Tanner,
Speaker 2: I was able to get some money out of him
Speaker 2: to rebuild and fix up Victoria Park. Now it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: So that's what they need to do out there. I
Speaker 2: mean the assident crowd out there, the cricket club and
Speaker 2: the football club, they need each other. It's the life
Speaker 2: blood of that area. And a tall Imraines fantasy.
Speaker 1: It's actually affected the local traders to that nape Straetia.
Speaker 1: It used to be really yeah, buzzing and the hub
Speaker 1: that Adonis what it used to do used to.
Speaker 2: Go down halftime to the Royal Hotel. People run down
Speaker 2: and I can back now run back in again. But
Speaker 2: so north, back to north do you believe that? And
Speaker 2: so well let's go into that North Corrida. There's enough
Speaker 2: out there. Good thing is a lot of Indian people
Speaker 2: going out there, so they want football sized grounds. Remember
Speaker 2: there was a bush at one stage because they only
Speaker 2: want to People were saying, you know, people from Middleiss
Speaker 2: want to play soccer. They're building football sized grounds. They're
Speaker 2: going to play cricket, right and you're not. The Other
Speaker 2: thing they've got to be careful of is that a
Speaker 2: lot of the Indian people want to play cricket in
Speaker 2: winter as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. They want to come up so it's
Speaker 1: a twelve twelve month a year game and.
Speaker 2: They want to get playing. So let's find the balance there.
Speaker 2: But there's a real opportunity to do something.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I think needs that we've
Speaker 1: done with cricket and footy is actually you can have
Speaker 1: a football ground as are Ground twenty four seven. You's
Speaker 1: got to find a cover for that that cricket pitch
Speaker 1: which is some good event that so they can play
Speaker 1: cricket and footy or you around.
Speaker 2: Instead of actually everyone fighting each other.
Speaker 1: They got to use it together. Yeah right.
Speaker 2: His second part is do you believe a roof stadium
Speaker 2: would be required if Northern Territory was successful in gaining
Speaker 2: an AFL license for a twentieth team in Darwin, Well,
Speaker 2: what if if you're playing in the wed season.
Speaker 1: Dry seasons is footy season, So I don't think, yeah
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, yeah, so I think probably not.
Speaker 2: I mean what I'd love to say for you and
Speaker 2: up there is a bit like what they've done at
Speaker 2: All Springs is be able to get those shots with.
Speaker 1: The think it was the shot of the of the
Speaker 1: rock in the background absolutely tas many.
Speaker 2: Of people said we why don't we doing that? And
Speaker 2: the answer is because you can actually see polar bears
Speaker 2: from the back round next toop Is Antarctica and no
Speaker 2: one wants us.
Speaker 1: Hit there sitting in the background.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Yeah, so there if we have a twenty three,
Speaker 2: and that's a way I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I really want to upset somebody should grab Nor
Speaker 1: the territory.
Speaker 2: Of course they should, and North would be great. So
Speaker 2: long as they play thirteen fourteen games in moments is
Speaker 2: all they do. Anyway, it can work, I agree anyway,
Speaker 2: because we don't need any more teams, right. GW's crowds,
Speaker 2: I've noticed, says.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 2: Mark says, I've noticed that, apart from the opening around
Speaker 2: all GUIs, crowds in Sydney have been below ten thousand.
Speaker 2: This season the first rounds. That's right, What do you
Speaker 2: think is needed to boost their crowd numbers.
Speaker 1: I've spent a good time at Jedderson. They're actually a
Speaker 1: very special club and a really good club to be
Speaker 1: a part of, and so that it almost feels like
Speaker 1: it's a country football feel in a professional environment. I
Speaker 1: say that in a really good way. But one of
Speaker 1: the worries for Jewis is they play a couple of
Speaker 1: games and then the Easter show comes along and I
Speaker 1: think you lose all continuity of people and they don't
Speaker 1: really go back to playing. Joe's to all about now
Speaker 1: that that to me is a compromise that they have
Speaker 1: to get right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So can I throw my two bobs within again
Speaker 2: a bit? Like with North GWS is a fantastic football
Speaker 2: club and I think Dave Matthews and all the team
Speaker 2: up there and I have done a fantastic job doing
Speaker 2: what they're doing. So what's the answer. No use hitting
Speaker 2: the head against the wall. They're gonna have the rule
Speaker 2: show there all the time. So play the first half
Speaker 2: of the year in Canberra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, Well they get more than they get the
Speaker 1: bigger crewd in camera.
Speaker 2: We need it. We need it. We need have a
Speaker 2: team in the capitol of Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I was I was born there, I lived
Speaker 1: there in my whole life.
Speaker 2: It I don't care if they don't come to the mill,
Speaker 2: don't come and play once. See if they want to
Speaker 2: twice at the MCG. But let's get Canberra going and
Speaker 2: then let's get into Western Sydney in a meaniful way.
Speaker 1: But they've got it.
Speaker 2: There's a few different things at the moment. So I
Speaker 2: was thinking about this when the afl W came out
Speaker 2: the draw last week. And please everybody take this as
Speaker 2: an intellectual conversation. Okay, there's no bias or anything else
Speaker 2: on this because I'm barracking for all sides trying to
Speaker 2: find the right deal. But one of the big announcements
Speaker 2: was they're going to have two weeks of Pride Round
Speaker 2: and the Women's Gun.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Previously the problem has been that the Muslim girl who
Speaker 2: played at Getaz was unable to play. Now I find
Speaker 2: that really it's not right, that's not right. I mean,
Speaker 2: the whole idea is in a bad acceptance. There's got
Speaker 2: any equestions for everybody in inclusion, not we'll accept you
Speaker 2: inclusion as long as you're saying what I'm saying. Okay,
Speaker 2: you've got to spread it round a bit. Now, if
Speaker 2: we're going to go into a Muslim enclave to try
Speaker 2: and recruit people, which is what the worst of Sydney is,
Speaker 2: we have to play to the forehand a little bit. Okay,
Speaker 2: So do we need to just you know not And
Speaker 2: this is not to lay down on inclusion and pride round.
Speaker 2: I think we can really ramp that up and do
Speaker 2: something fantastic. But we've got social media now. So once
Speaker 2: upon a time, the only sort of exposure you had
Speaker 2: was on match day. Now we've got social media and
Speaker 2: we can do great things. And you know, there's there's
Speaker 2: such a huge community that need to be accepted. Who's
Speaker 2: still cop discrimination day in day out. But how do
Speaker 2: we do it to that discriminating game to others? So
Speaker 2: I think we have to actually come up with a
Speaker 2: you know, at the a f L because GW, we
Speaker 2: just know what they're doing and they talk to me
Speaker 2: about these things. There is a really good way to
Speaker 2: get the best benefit of everybody out there, but not
Speaker 2: by excluding people. So I don't know whether what that
Speaker 2: what that actually manifests itself into, but I think what
Speaker 2: we have is a community out there who have remained
Speaker 2: reasonably quiet on it. But my understanding is I didn't
Speaker 2: like the fact that their sister couldn't play because.
Speaker 1: I understand and your pride round is about inclusion. It's
Speaker 1: about acceptance and it's about understanding. That's what I think
Speaker 1: it is might be, but to exclude someone, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's it's amazing that we've got this.
Speaker 2: Father was saying now that you know, we need to
Speaker 2: go this way because you know, the the amount of
Speaker 2: homophobia over until maybe the last few years. I mean,
Speaker 2: don't forget Mardi Gras was a protest because of the
Speaker 2: horrific yeah, beatings that the gay community Sydney were coming
Speaker 2: from the cops and all that. And you know, it's
Speaker 2: not that long ago that we had the bashing. Probably
Speaker 2: still do so, you know, and kids coming through. We
Speaker 2: have to make sure that it's a safe place. But
Speaker 2: I think we're getting to that more and more and
Speaker 2: again I think it's almost into the next stage that
Speaker 2: we need to get to. I don't know. That's just
Speaker 2: my thoughts from from from my cheap seats, you know,
Speaker 2: but i'd like to hear more from from all the communities. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but the game of foot, he should not exclude any No.
Speaker 1: No, I think to the is the marks question or
Speaker 1: question about two So I think, look that they're trying,
Speaker 1: but it is difficult. I think it's very difficult.
Speaker 2: I'd like to say a doubleheaded played at ako or Stadium,
Speaker 2: which is the old Olympic stadium. Johns and Swans will.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that stadium works for football now,
Speaker 1: I really don't. Never it's never felt like a football ground.
Speaker 1: It's not shaped like a football ground. To play there
Speaker 1: as unusual and I'm not a big fan of that.
Speaker 2: We put eighty two in against Sydney that time in
Speaker 2: the one off game. But I think it's now configured
Speaker 2: for rugby league. Yeah, I know whatever the five million
Speaker 2: we put in to make sure it didn't. But so
Speaker 2: can I put this question to you, Should GWS play
Speaker 2: a final at the SCG, particularly if the Swan's own
Speaker 2: in the finals this year? No, stay out there?
Speaker 1: Well, I think, look, there's two schools. I thought I
Speaker 1: would love to see Juris playing at the city because
Speaker 1: a better stadium. It's in the city, you might get
Speaker 1: more people, but it's not the home ground. You're actually
Speaker 1: saying we're not part of Western Sydney. We're going into
Speaker 1: the ES and so it.
Speaker 2: But let me put a pictures this way. When this
Speaker 2: home ground stuff was, it was home state, okay, and
Speaker 2: now we're going to gel Loong as saying well we
Speaker 2: have to come up the highway. Yeah, in the best facility.
Speaker 2: I mean, what I'm saying is, let's say GDOS are
Speaker 2: playing Collingwood and you have to go out there. Now
Speaker 2: the Collinsports will fill it up and go out there,
Speaker 2: but be far better and showcase it at the SCG
Speaker 2: in the middle of town, the lights on everyone coming in.
Speaker 2: It's like going to Wembley there. It's like here, you know,
Speaker 2: kill to make the finals, they play a final. Here,
Speaker 2: they play down Mark.
Speaker 1: Could they play at them? Well, when they's come to
Speaker 1: the mc jury.
Speaker 2: No, what you want to play it in Sydney if
Speaker 2: it's their home state.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I get the feeling that jerrys would feel I
Speaker 1: don't know this, but I'd feel that that's that's selling out.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, well again that's but I.
Speaker 1: Think I think the decision the AFILM would make is that, Okay,
Speaker 1: if it's a if it's a team that what's what's
Speaker 1: the stadium at NGI stadium hole that holds twenty maybe twenty.
Speaker 1: So if it's going to get more than twenty, then
Speaker 1: they move to the SG it's less than twenty. That's
Speaker 1: what they do here. Depends on you're playing, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're long, if you're playing Collins, if twenty Collins
Speaker 1: was if Ghena a final on they're playing gold Coo Sons, Yeah,
Speaker 1: play there that's going to be played at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's say they let's say it's a preliminary
Speaker 2: let's you know, a game so on latter position at
Speaker 2: the moment, you won't get calling it up there.
Speaker 1: But let's say it's a big sighte Yeah, then move
Speaker 1: it to move the s J.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's just one for down the track in space,
Speaker 2: Jake says. Green screen. First time, long time email, I
Speaker 2: noticed something very old. I was suspicially that Ben Dixon
Speaker 2: may have been doing boundary writing in front of a
Speaker 2: green screen in Alice Springs. At one point a fly
Speaker 2: landed on his face, so I thought, okay, it's up there.
Speaker 2: He made the amazing trick from Alice back to the
Speaker 2: studio for the Bounce, a live show. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Well, if he's got back to the Bounce Live show,
Speaker 1: it's definitely green screen. I don't think there's no I
Speaker 1: suppose you called the concord maybe back from Alice Springs. No,
Speaker 1: but it's Look, I think it's money. It's down the money,
Speaker 1: isn't it If we want to have every game it's
Speaker 1: not ideal. If we want to have every game covered
Speaker 1: and we want to be able to do it with
Speaker 1: the right sort of talent, and I mean you run
Speaker 1: a production company, something is just impossible to pay you.
Speaker 1: That happened.
Speaker 2: Look, Channel Channel nine will do most of the window
Speaker 2: Olympics from Sydney or Doglands.
Speaker 1: I know they're doing well. Can we say what's happening
Speaker 1: with the French Open where that's been called from?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's that's hubbing of broadcasting is going to
Speaker 2: be the future. And you know to the point where, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a lot more sport on air, but you want
Speaker 2: to hear local voices. But you know, you get a
Speaker 2: lot more people calling events in China and golf events
Speaker 2: that are on the circuit from the Dockland studios and
Speaker 2: that's just the way it is. So don't forget with that,
Speaker 2: Foxtel actually broadcast nine games a week.
Speaker 1: It's expense and you know, if.
Speaker 2: You can get away with saving the money because that
Speaker 2: goes into the game.
Speaker 1: Previously they had they laid up on Saturdays Channel seven.
Speaker 1: Commodos didn't last year it was Channel seven. Compatatus is
Speaker 1: a big difference.
Speaker 2: And I said, and we called off the screen, you know,
Speaker 2: during COVID, because that was all you could do. And
Speaker 2: while it's not ideal, you can do it and you
Speaker 2: get the facts and you'll probably go a bit more
Speaker 2: statistics as opposed to be to read the play because
Speaker 2: you're only getting the vision. You get actually getting more vision.
Speaker 2: You get down the ground shot as well, so you
Speaker 2: can get around it. I mean in some ways, I
Speaker 2: mean Dennis Committee used to call off the screen. He'd
Speaker 2: be his call off the screen, so he would call
Speaker 2: off what you're seeing at home, and then literally you
Speaker 2: could look up and you have the benefit of both.
Speaker 2: But largely there's a there is a school of thought
Speaker 2: that you should call off what people at home are
Speaker 2: looking at.
Speaker 1: I mean I preferred to calling again seeing.
Speaker 2: The game and then and with binoculars, I'd call binoculars
Speaker 2: and then my eyes started going in the in the distance.
Speaker 2: I'd actually used the scroll a lot more and different
Speaker 2: things like that, saying yeah, it's horses for courses, all right,
Speaker 2: Dan read multi more for season twenty twenty six. I
Speaker 2: propose that when a team gets a five goal run
Speaker 2: on a booming multi ball announcement, glasses across the grantz
Speaker 2: like pinball, and with another two balls being brought into play.
Speaker 2: See this is why I tell you we've got a
Speaker 2: test for drugs.
Speaker 1: And hang on, hang on, you said was it yesterday?
Speaker 1: You said that you get criticized some of your ideas,
Speaker 1: at least you having somewhere's none. You got to maybe
Speaker 1: go my this ploy, Let me go.
Speaker 2: It goes on the two boundary piles, could throw one
Speaker 2: each simultaneously, or three ounpires at tender center bounce at
Speaker 2: once with a tossing a ball up at the same time.
Speaker 2: You're starting to get me there, Okay, I'm starting to
Speaker 2: see this.
Speaker 1: We should just try it in the preseason.
Speaker 2: The extra balls are only removed when they're legally exit
Speaker 2: the ground, so like when the pitble when it goes
Speaker 2: down the side, okay, or at the quarter ends. Insufficient
Speaker 2: intent keeps them in play, though, ah okay, during this period,
Speaker 2: would you have insufficient intent with three balls going? Can
Speaker 2: we'll get it with one? During this period, all scores,
Speaker 2: no matter what, are followed by a kick in no
Speaker 2: center bounce. Once extra balls are out of play, the
Speaker 2: game returns to normal. You get rid of congestionwhere well
Speaker 2: there might be if the three balls at one end,
Speaker 2: the chaos would be electric. He says, you can get
Speaker 2: two more sponsors on the extra balls, have them different.
Speaker 1: Colors, the hydroponics that play.
Speaker 2: He's proving a few points. That's all right, then that
Speaker 2: is magnificent.
Speaker 1: I reckon. It's a pity we don't have the nab
Speaker 1: coup anymore. We could have experimented with the multiple not quickly.
Speaker 2: We're starting edible well, Jimmy bowl, Nab cup, nabcap or
Speaker 2: even let's say, let's let's make it a little bit
Speaker 2: more serious. State of origin. We're using state of origin
Speaker 2: to try a few different things out.
Speaker 1: What would you go with last touch? Last touch touch?
Speaker 1: I do like you, I'm going to steal some of yours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can touch. It goes through the goals, so no
Speaker 1: touch off the bit of fifteen goes through the goals.
Speaker 1: It goes through the goals.
Speaker 2: But if it goes fifteen in your market, it's a
Speaker 2: market exactly unless a punch, yeah, exactly. Proper spoils a point.
Speaker 2: But our point is that if you're not good enough
Speaker 2: to smother it, why do you get the benefit.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't let I wouldn't let a few players.
Speaker 1: I have to keep two players in the in the fifty.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't let a certain amount of players come
Speaker 1: over the center of the ground at a stoppage. Every
Speaker 1: time a stoppage, you've got a reset.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I would go for a test two three
Speaker 2: three three two yep, So get rid of a pocket
Speaker 2: at each.
Speaker 1: End, right, and get rid of a rock radit. Oh
Speaker 1: so you get rid of six to sixteentheen fifteen a
Speaker 1: pocket fifteen. I would prefer to keep eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I do too, but I'm looking at how
Speaker 2: would you.
Speaker 1: Open it up? But there you just have to keep
Speaker 1: in an area like at a stoppage, you got to reset.
Speaker 2: The only thing is I want to keep the umpires
Speaker 2: from having to get involved in the game.
Speaker 1: Well, you have that call from somewhere else, just have
Speaker 1: that someone sitting out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just I just think that if
Speaker 2: we boundary I've got rid of can do it.
Speaker 1: If you can get rid of congestion. I think there's
Speaker 1: still too many games where if I'm coaching and i'm
Speaker 1: and I can't move the ball well from the back
Speaker 1: half the forward half, I'm a territory team. I don't
Speaker 1: let it out that forward fifty. I do whatever I
Speaker 1: can to block the game up.
Speaker 2: Do we need to have four people in the centerbouts
Speaker 2: now that everyone stands around and the umpires let them
Speaker 2: come over, hug each other and drop it straight down
Speaker 2: in one spot?
Speaker 1: Well, I would. I wouldn't make ruckman jump for the ball.
Speaker 1: I mean the center bounce is It's still an art
Speaker 1: like that. It's still an art form. The three on
Speaker 1: ballers for each team, how you maneuver he creates space.
Speaker 1: It's it's quite a but you see it happen, and
Speaker 1: you see that really it takes a lot of strategy
Speaker 1: to make that work.
Speaker 2: So let me put this to you. Can we now
Speaker 2: get rid of the line across the center because that
Speaker 2: was there to stop them wrestling. Now we're letting them wrestle.
Speaker 2: So we get rid of that, and do we make
Speaker 2: the center circle slightly bigger because the old running from
Speaker 2: fifty meters away and smashing each other's But tell Attendon,
Speaker 2: the umpires throw the ball up. It's not going up
Speaker 2: thirty feet in the year. It's only going up. It's
Speaker 2: like a jump ball. That allows a player then to
Speaker 2: move in and jump up onto the side and hit
Speaker 2: it sideways and get the rockwork of Assimon Madden back
Speaker 2: into into the game.
Speaker 1: I think that's right. But what what when the ball
Speaker 1: goes up in the air. Don't just watch the ruckman?
Speaker 1: What's that's the time that if you're on an opponent,
Speaker 1: if you're on someone in the center, in the center,
Speaker 1: bounce that ball. He's got his eyes on the ball.
Speaker 1: That's when you can maneuver him. That's when you're strategically.
Speaker 1: A lot happens at ground level as that ball goes up.
Speaker 1: So it's only a five minute throw. There's not the
Speaker 1: capable to do that. I like the big behigh in
Speaker 1: the air, so you can actually you get some time
Speaker 1: to maneuver him, move around. You watch the movement at
Speaker 1: that time. It's quite it's quite interesting.
Speaker 2: Okay. But yeah, So in combining those things, get rid
Speaker 2: of the center line so you can come from the
Speaker 2: side or line up against an opponent. I'd ben grappling. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot to hold anyone anywhere else in the ground.
Speaker 2: Throw it up and let people get in a position.
Speaker 2: And then if you're an athletic player, you can get
Speaker 2: to stay on the the on the on the circle
Speaker 2: and time up and jump jump I agree, or made
Speaker 2: some cock.
Speaker 1: Stands and goes right, Okay, different techniques. The art of
Speaker 1: rucking comes back in exactly.
Speaker 2: I don't like the wrestling business, all right, Megan Ozzie says,
Speaker 2: buy rounds. Why can't we just have a single week
Speaker 2: for a buy round. This way you can spend time
Speaker 2: with the family or wife. You we're doing it for
Speaker 2: you see, even our people to head to a local game.
Speaker 2: All right, well we can do that on a Saturday.
Speaker 2: I think the AFL should have really marketed local football
Speaker 2: and let local football clubs get a good deal on Foxtel.
Speaker 1: I don't like the five weeks of five weeks of
Speaker 1: compromised Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 2: Them, but it is what it is is because we
Speaker 2: need to have the content.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need the content. Yeah, have four games on
Speaker 1: two weekends and.
Speaker 2: Possibly chaos would be electric. I'm going to the latter
Speaker 2: has been a shambles. No one has even games and
Speaker 2: well they won't until the week after the end of
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 1: When plays Cyclone. Whatever the should have told, just give
Speaker 1: it to the game. The game there was that it
Speaker 1: was Gold Coast, Gold Coast responsibility to run a game.
Speaker 1: They couldn't give the points Tosten. That's but that's that
Speaker 1: was the rules that used to be the rules.
Speaker 2: That used to be the rules. Here's another thing. Don't
Speaker 2: have opening around because there's another season on. It's called
Speaker 2: Cyclone season. Don't play.
Speaker 1: Don't I'll do that again.
Speaker 2: So it's a bit like you know, Jedda West. If
Speaker 2: you're going to complain about having the show there, don't play. Well,
Speaker 2: the show's on there, you go play when they're not exactly,
Speaker 2: don't go up there in our winter when we want
Speaker 2: to leave. I mean, Melburn's weather has been unbelievable. But
Speaker 2: it's going to turn.
Speaker 1: It's turning turn, it's turning now it is.
Speaker 2: We're in germ. It's called winter. Megan says. Buggies of
Speaker 2: injured players after watching Callum Ward limp and have difficulty
Speaker 2: weight bearing from one side of the ground to the other.
Speaker 2: Why out the air or have a golf buggy or
Speaker 2: something similar.
Speaker 1: They do they do that. Some players just want to
Speaker 1: They don't want to use it. Even when the stretch
Speaker 1: used to come out the old stretcher. Players have broken
Speaker 1: legs and I'm not usedn't it? Don't want to walk off?
Speaker 2: Can I make a suggestion? Not their call?
Speaker 1: True, But however, like seeing that it is headstrong players,
Speaker 1: good luck.
Speaker 2: And a wave to the crowd because he knew he'd
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, what what an incredible player he's made
Speaker 1: and a terrific person is as well.
Speaker 2: Could we also just have a situation that the other
Speaker 2: side of the line he's not coming back on. Is
Speaker 2: he on the other side of the ground. Why can't
Speaker 2: the head trainer doctor who's gone out to see him
Speaker 2: say and hold up a you know, one of those
Speaker 2: Hamburger signs, and well.
Speaker 1: He wasn't coming back on that he's got I think
Speaker 1: if you do go off, you can go off.
Speaker 2: He's just I think he's going to step over, but
Speaker 2: he should be able to signal that he's cooked.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: We don't need an extra bugg but there are buggies
Speaker 2: to get him off the ground. But so Megan yes,
Speaker 2: there are buggies out there, but for some reason they
Speaker 2: not want to use them. All right, asking and Jimmy,
Speaker 2: let's go Darren from Derby in England, Derby County. Their
Speaker 2: home ground was the baseball grounds in Manchester.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Archie Gimmel was a star player.
Speaker 1: It'd be I reckon. They were about down in the
Speaker 1: second or third division.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was great. Archie Gimmel was a great player.
Speaker 2: Scottish player. Scottis his brother scored the winner for Celtic
Speaker 2: in the sixty seven Champions League.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the British team to win.
Speaker 2: European champ and all the players grew up within ten
Speaker 2: miles of Parkhead. Unbelievable And in fact, I'm going adult Catholics,
Speaker 2: I'm sure, Oh yeah, I know they went went Stein
Speaker 2: the great. No, the Rangers wouldn't play tho Catholics. But
Speaker 2: Kennedy Doglish was was a Protestant. Who else Kenny Doglish.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think I've got a mental block on
Speaker 2: the captain who came up with the bid. It'll come
Speaker 2: in a minute. But chock Stein was was wasn't a
Speaker 2: Catholic other and I've got a mental block. He was
Speaker 2: he was. He captained Celtic who beat red Star Belgrade,
Speaker 2: Arsenal and Australia in a four game in the finals
Speaker 2: the Olympic the Olympic Park with collingwands crown in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy seven. And on the night I did sitting down
Speaker 2: in front of me, Max Richardson, the Collingwood captain and
Speaker 2: Peter Knights were there and they signed my ticket and
Speaker 2: they still have it. Can you believe that ninety seventy seven?
Speaker 2: Of course, Colin we got to the Grand Final that
Speaker 2: year to withdraw, should have won the first one twenty
Speaker 2: seven points up a three quarter a time. So anyway
Speaker 2: from so, yeah, there you go, you go Danny McGrane.
Speaker 2: So trying to think of Danny McGrane was.
Speaker 1: The McGrain family. We apologized said I.
Speaker 2: Love Danny McGrain anyway. There's been much discussion about the
Speaker 2: consistency of umpiring this season, including around tackling, holding the ball,
Speaker 2: rock infringement's insufficient at ten fifteen meters or not on
Speaker 2: the mark. There's a few there, aren't they. For Jimmy
Speaker 2: as a player, what was more important consistency gained the
Speaker 2: game across the Seasonal consistency when in an individual game,
Speaker 2: even if interpretations may have differed.
Speaker 1: I think both you needed to know what was right
Speaker 1: and what was wrong, but the consistency within a game
Speaker 1: was probably more important.
Speaker 2: Charlie says, should the AFL implement or is there room
Speaker 2: to explore the possibilities of reinventing the draft system where
Speaker 2: each club drafts from their respective state, with the allowance
Speaker 2: of draft one or two from other states like back
Speaker 2: in the day. I don't think it was ever a date, Linink.
Speaker 1: That's why it's called the national draft.
Speaker 2: So really good gun players won't have to need to
Speaker 2: go back home and leave hold it.
Speaker 1: But it's the thing about players leaving traveling in the state.
Speaker 1: It's a profession. You choose that profession.
Speaker 2: You're I've got a son who's living in.
Speaker 1: I don't want to come back. I moved from Camera
Speaker 1: when I was seventeen years old and couldn't get out
Speaker 1: of the quick enough.
Speaker 2: This this whole business about the go fact they've got
Speaker 2: a tougher that. I'll tell you what's going to happen
Speaker 2: a player. Let's say you know James hr Junior, Well, no,
Speaker 2: because your father. Let's say let's say one of my
Speaker 2: sons would have another one somewhere. Let me take that
Speaker 2: back again, Carl. Of course it's not one that sort
Speaker 2: of just rings up.
Speaker 1: And I know we was just going to error. You
Speaker 1: could be a lot of trouble here. No the phone
Speaker 1: to start, got no money. That's not true.
Speaker 2: He's got a lot to his house mine anyway. Unless
Speaker 2: I said that, he suddenly discovers football again and stuff.
Speaker 2: And because it was funny because my brother, my older brother,
Speaker 2: was his I'll give you example. So my older brother
Speaker 2: was born in Scotland and I was born in Australia,
Speaker 2: and we grew up. We lived in the same room
Speaker 2: and as young kids actually slept in a bid together
Speaker 2: and stuff. His kids would get into an n g
Speaker 2: A because he was and came out as a nine
Speaker 2: month old, but mine couldn't, even though I was president
Speaker 2: of calling him for twenty odd years. So at some
Speaker 2: stage some kid who yeah, as a father, who's a
Speaker 2: good lawyer or a friend or whatever, and he says,
Speaker 2: I ain't going there. I live down here, I've got
Speaker 2: a great lifestyle. I want to go to Melbourne University.
Speaker 2: I got all my mates.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Chloe's my girlfriend down the road and her dad's in
Speaker 2: a fortune two hundred company. I'm not going here or
Speaker 2: I live at home and my mum's crook and I
Speaker 2: want to look after it, and I've got younger kids
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. No, and now, because the AFL
Speaker 2: have compromised the draft so much, they have no leak
Speaker 2: to stand on in the federal court. Always the answer
Speaker 2: to why can't we do this and bring in zones
Speaker 2: and academies was that it will completely kill your opportunities
Speaker 2: of defending the draft in the federal court, full stop,
Speaker 2: new par So that'll happen soon, Oregon. We've got plenty more.
Speaker 2: I've got Neil and Brett and Joseph and Allan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: plenty of good stuff there to go with. We'll pick
Speaker 2: it up next week because Jimmy and I are being
Speaker 2: a bit verboast. I am at least anybody follow us
Speaker 2: on Eddie and Jimmy thanks to tab nine now and YouTube,
Speaker 2: and we'll be back tomorrow with a look at the
Speaker 2: next games coming up.
