Speaker 1: Helloever, I'm welcome the Footy classified. What a big wig
Speaker 1: it's been in footy. What a big duck it's all
Speaker 1: been happening, and we're going to get stuck.
Speaker 2: Into a few moments time.
Speaker 1: Of course, the big news out of the tribunal tonight
Speaker 1: on Alex Pearce will go to Tom Morrison a second,
Speaker 1: we'll say, first, go Tom good it's a big dave.
Speaker 1: We've got a few things to get through. There was
Speaker 1: a president's meeting last night. The Commission continues to be
Speaker 1: under fire the Chief Commissioner. Certainly the A f l
Speaker 1: p A have come out today and had to whack
Speaker 1: it to certain luminaries.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll talk about it later, we'll get into it.
Speaker 3: But absolutely, yeah, definitely, I'm Carlton alaide.
Speaker 4: What's on the agenda?
Speaker 2: S all right, we'll get into that. How are Rory welcome?
Speaker 1: Rory Sloane is with us and James h joining us tonight,
Speaker 1: you know who. Let's get stuck into the action straight away.
Speaker 1: So first off, before we go to the tribunal, you're
Speaker 1: going to beat the tribunal that's going to revolutionize the
Speaker 1: game by talking about Ken Hinckley.
Speaker 2: You've got some fresh male out of Adelaide.
Speaker 4: Yah, I do, Eddie.
Speaker 3: What I can tell you tonight is that Ken Hinckley
Speaker 3: will walk away from Port Adelaide if and when he
Speaker 3: believes the club is out of contention. Now Port and
Speaker 3: Ken are perfectly aligned on this. They're very pragmatic about
Speaker 3: his future. Port aren't going to walk in and sack
Speaker 3: Ken Hinckley halfway over the year. They're going to let
Speaker 3: Ken make the call if and when it does get
Speaker 3: to that stage, and if it does, they'll do it
Speaker 3: with dignity and they'll do it the right way.
Speaker 4: Now we're not there yet, but it could be a
Speaker 4: matter of weeks away.
Speaker 5: So what's changed? Why has it changed? Parlaments is a
Speaker 5: performance space? Is that it or he's had enough for
Speaker 5: the situation or the pressure from the media.
Speaker 3: And I think the reality of the situation has dawned
Speaker 3: on Ken and people close to him that Port might
Speaker 3: not contend and might not win a flag this year.
Speaker 3: So while it's still mathematically a chance, he'll keep coaching,
Speaker 3: but until that happens, we could see a change.
Speaker 1: The first time this has happened by Bob Rose did
Speaker 1: it for Lee Matthews at Collingwood. Just look at the
Speaker 1: ladder though, so port Adelaide fifteenth if two games and
Speaker 1: massive whack of percentage out, so they're basically three games
Speaker 1: outside at the moment.
Speaker 2: How long's when?
Speaker 6: Well, it's more concerning how players are finishing the game.
Speaker 6: Their second halves of footy have been deplorable at the moment,
Speaker 6: and heard you, I notice this If the club is
Speaker 6: aligned with Ken, and Ken's aligned too, is this shackles
Speaker 6: off for the players and they can like a sigh
Speaker 6: of relief and get back to playing some really quality
Speaker 6: on top of the ground sort of footy.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure why you wouldn't be playing your best
Speaker 5: footy anyway. I think if you want to be playing
Speaker 5: your best footy, there might be a there might be
Speaker 5: a bump, if you know, if Ken goes and Cars
Speaker 5: in there. But what I would worry about is for
Speaker 5: Car whether that's the right time for it to happen.
Speaker 5: I mean the moment he's got cover, He's got cover
Speaker 5: while Ken's there, the performance he can go while he's gone,
Speaker 5: But I have bad performances. What the supporters want is
Speaker 5: they want instantaneous success, which they might not come.
Speaker 3: So Ken will do what's right for the club. So
Speaker 3: if he believes that it's another four to six weeks
Speaker 3: or eight weeks or whereever it is, he'll day. But
Speaker 3: I'm now filmly the belief that he's made up his
Speaker 3: mind that as soon as it's not right, he'll walk away.
Speaker 4: He's not going to push on for the same.
Speaker 1: They're going to buy this week and then they played
Speaker 1: jud in Western Sydney, so.
Speaker 5: It's a mistake what happened started, So they've just gone
Speaker 5: with Josh Carr or it's actually worked out. Okay.
Speaker 3: My personal opinion is I've got no issue with port
Speaker 3: Adelaide going to the succession plan and having a crack
Speaker 3: with Ken, but as soon as it's mathematically done, they
Speaker 3: need to cut ties and allowed Josh car to take over,
Speaker 3: So I don't have an issue with what they've done.
Speaker 5: So you think she would let to take over from
Speaker 5: Bang straight away.
Speaker 3: Josh, Well, there's actually a precident in Leon Cameron. He
Speaker 3: left the Giants after round seven. Round eight allowed the
Speaker 3: Giants to reset and go again the next year.
Speaker 5: Martin Vay wasn't coaching straight away. I mean they went
Speaker 5: and gott but.
Speaker 4: It still allows the cup to breathe and go again.
Speaker 6: Well, what they've got to do is treat him with
Speaker 6: respect because he's been so good fat club for twelve years.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's the most important thing.
Speaker 2: How strong is that mail strong? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on. Big night of the Tribune. Alex
Speaker 1: Pierce has.
Speaker 4: He's been cleared. He'll play the next He'll play the
Speaker 4: next game.
Speaker 2: Three weeks, three cheers for football, hit.
Speaker 6: Common sense, he's common again. Finally, that is a huge win.
Speaker 4: So Fremantle argued that this wasn't careless, that he didn't.
Speaker 3: Breach his duty of care, and the AFEL tribunal agreed tonight,
Speaker 3: so he's free to play this weekend and Fremantle were hopeful.
Speaker 4: And expected this will be the case.
Speaker 3: My understanding of the situation is that it would have
Speaker 3: acted like a precedent had this been upheld. In the end,
Speaker 3: the m RO gave him three weeks and the tribunal
Speaker 3: said no, no, that's not worth three weeks.
Speaker 4: He can play.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: We mentioned this last week last year when Peter Wright
Speaker 1: got rubbed down for four weeks at Essendon about the
Speaker 1: player coming with the ball. Can we just roll the barress,
Speaker 1: I've got Peter right, Let's have a better right. First,
Speaker 1: so this is what happened last year. So he's running basically.
Speaker 2: The same situation. He gets four weeks and a change.
Speaker 4: It's a bit different.
Speaker 3: Second, the key difference is Peter Wright braced, whereas Alex
Speaker 3: Pearce just ran into the contest and almost exposed himself.
Speaker 1: So by doing that, you're exposing yourself to getting cleaned
Speaker 1: up yourself. But rule number one in the lone you
Speaker 1: must protect yourself first. If I protect myself, then you
Speaker 1: protect yourself going for the ball, we're protecting each other.
Speaker 1: That's my worry at the moment, as people are getting
Speaker 1: left wide open.
Speaker 2: Can we roll the bar tom Bress vision.
Speaker 1: So this is another situation where Tom Brass in the
Speaker 1: old days would have been flayed for looking like he
Speaker 1: pulled out of the concest. There he realized that all
Speaker 1: he was going to do was give away a front
Speaker 1: on free kick, maybe get reported and covered himself up
Speaker 1: so didn't get hurt. Now, you know, it's amazing that
Speaker 1: that has now become the right thing.
Speaker 5: To do, isn't it? It is, and it is certainly
Speaker 5: changed in the way players look at football. Because you
Speaker 5: don't want to hurt someone else. You don't want to
Speaker 5: hurt yourself. You don't want to get suspended. But I
Speaker 5: think that the days of the nick rewot mark flying
Speaker 5: back with the fight of the ball are almost dead
Speaker 5: and gone.
Speaker 6: Well, there's a way to teach this too, like Baras
Speaker 6: can actually go up there with the right technique.
Speaker 7: And I know you're big on this too.
Speaker 5: There is the hook mark.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the hook mark we called a hook mark where
Speaker 6: you can come in from the side in the shape
Speaker 6: of a hook and you jump up with that knee
Speaker 6: right up there to actually protect yourself ed because that's
Speaker 6: your first rules. Need to practice that more so than ever,
Speaker 6: and not just running blindly to a contest.
Speaker 5: Fundamentals are still the most important thing when you're teaching
Speaker 5: players how to play football. A lot of players, when
Speaker 5: they go for the ball and do get caught out,
Speaker 5: aren't perfecting their fundamentals. Not the not the one there,
Speaker 5: but to fundamentals. If you don't do it properly, you'll
Speaker 5: hurt someone, will hurt yourself and get reported.
Speaker 1: Okay, but is there no, there's no shame now in
Speaker 1: players going front and the square as opposed.
Speaker 5: To it depends what it is, It depends which year
Speaker 5: is when he's watching.
Speaker 2: It's got your head smashed in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably not the smartest moment of my career, but
Speaker 5: that was what you're taught to do. You could not
Speaker 5: if you go back to the flight of the ball
Speaker 5: in my day for a now day and you pulled out,
Speaker 5: you went every TV show you shall be for good.
Speaker 1: Well that's what happened though, And of course Robert Wolves
Speaker 1: was the one who really went hard on players and
Speaker 1: Line again ends up losing a kidney two a week
Speaker 1: later after he got stuck to the John player pulling
Speaker 1: out of a contest allegedly.
Speaker 2: But you have a look at it, you know.
Speaker 1: Lee Matthews talks about he used to be able to
Speaker 1: judge it that if it wasn't quite going to get there,
Speaker 1: he'd get under the pair front square.
Speaker 5: He put a couple of short steps in. I don't
Speaker 5: mean the bad way shorts you judge it.
Speaker 2: Min Juriye did massacre a feeld bravely.
Speaker 6: Darcy burn Jones is one of the most courageous players
Speaker 6: that Port has and he just opened himself up and
Speaker 6: he'd be regretting.
Speaker 2: That much should we have that.
Speaker 1: Just as you're into a roundabout intersection, there is a
Speaker 1: rule you got to give one to the right. In
Speaker 1: that situation, should it be the onus on the player
Speaker 1: running with the flight of the ball as opposed to
Speaker 1: player coming at the ball, Who has to give it?
Speaker 5: How do you know if you're if you're ultimately running
Speaker 5: with the flight of the ball, the eyes and the ball,
Speaker 5: you don't know what's coming into you. I think it's
Speaker 5: very It's much harder to know when you're running with
Speaker 5: the flight of ball than if you're running against the
Speaker 5: flight of the ball and you can see what's in.
Speaker 4: Front of it.
Speaker 1: So in that situation, we are content that both players
Speaker 1: had eyes for the ball and they had a collision.
Speaker 1: That is part of the game of football in wet
Speaker 1: conditions where the ball drops a bit shorter, and at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, there was no malice involved,
Speaker 1: and in fact the buzzwords of the day duty of
Speaker 1: care was taken into account by both players.
Speaker 2: Clear to player, you're happy with that.
Speaker 5: Well, I think why we're so happy with that is
Speaker 5: it goes to show the AFIL is just not stamping
Speaker 5: out the result. You're actually allowed to have a collision
Speaker 5: and it's not what there's Well, it happens. You can
Speaker 5: keep you can keep collisions in the game as long
Speaker 5: as they're fair.
Speaker 1: Because I know you're ready to go on this one, right,
Speaker 1: We're going to show where the situation had happened with
Speaker 1: Liam Baker who didn't get rubbed out.
Speaker 4: You've got serious misconduct.
Speaker 3: Sorry, you got misconduct, fine for this, not serious misconduct
Speaker 3: for that. On James Petling, Rory, what are your thoughts
Speaker 3: on that incident and the fact that he didn't miss
Speaker 3: a week for that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Lamb's a tough, hard player and clearly his
Speaker 6: frustrations and emotions are boiled over here. But I mean
Speaker 6: James Peteling is not even looking he's defenseless. That's in
Speaker 6: the like in in the back of his neck where
Speaker 6: you can cause some serious damage.
Speaker 7: That had to be weak. That is something we in
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 5: If I did that to you on the street, what
Speaker 5: would happen.
Speaker 7: There'd be a lot of ramification, You'd be in deep trail.
Speaker 5: But I'd be like, I think what we're saying is
Speaker 5: that a football instance that the people are really they're
Speaker 5: rubbed out. They just shouldn't be rubbed out. We understand
Speaker 5: why because concussion, but that sort of instant that should
Speaker 5: be rubbed out, that is not what you want to
Speaker 5: I'll put at least it's at least you can't have
Speaker 5: that to find is not enough. But that's a non
Speaker 5: football incident that should rubbed out.
Speaker 7: To put it more simply, that's a choice to make.
Speaker 6: Bacon makes a choice to put his elbow in the
Speaker 6: back of someone's neck and head.
Speaker 7: Where is the pierce one? That's an accident?
Speaker 2: Do you think John Yucam is up?
Speaker 1: He got a ten thousand dollar fine because it's racked
Speaker 1: up a few. Do you reckon once you get to
Speaker 1: ten thousand, that's a week?
Speaker 5: I reckon there's yeah, once you finds out up, it's
Speaker 5: a week.
Speaker 1: And I thought Newgam's one where he grabbed the player
Speaker 1: and lifted him and pile drived it is as much,
Speaker 1: I reckon, that's as dangerous as it actually gets.
Speaker 5: Well, the duty of care and tackling now has changed,
Speaker 5: I mean players, and we're going to go through it
Speaker 5: a bit later in the show with a coach's corner,
Speaker 5: but the duty of Carawan players tackle. You can see
Speaker 5: players have changed the way and they're looking after that.
Speaker 2: So we'll do that later.
Speaker 1: And you're going to tell us how you now train
Speaker 1: what there's four different ways to tackle.
Speaker 5: Four different ways to tackle, the ways of tackle to
Speaker 5: prevent with his open players from behind, it's from the side,
Speaker 5: to prevent being rubbed out.
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff. Let's get to that, all right.
Speaker 1: President's meeting last night, sayident today today?
Speaker 3: Yes, there's a zoom call today with all eighteen AFL
Speaker 3: club presidents chaired by Andrew Bassett.
Speaker 7: Has been in the news this.
Speaker 3: Week, of course, regarding the Saint Kilda versus Gold Coast
Speaker 3: stout that read its head on the weekend. These are
Speaker 3: the main talking points. Who's the next chair? No commissioner
Speaker 3: wants the role. The presidents believe there is a view
Speaker 3: from Andrew Priddam at Sydney that the next two commissioners
Speaker 3: one should be female and one should be male.
Speaker 4: The committee that will.
Speaker 3: Select the next chair as well has been decided. It
Speaker 3: includes Andrew Priddam, includes Andrew Bassett, includes Sonya Hood and
Speaker 3: a couple of others as well. The media rights deal
Speaker 3: which is lucrative and what the future holds in that respect.
Speaker 3: The softcap lid now the presidents believe that the AFL
Speaker 3: will lift the softcap. Between seven hundred thousand and a
Speaker 3: million dollars remains to be seen whether the club will
Speaker 3: be supportive of that, but that's what they believe. The
Speaker 3: AFL will do. Pass plays is the big one. This
Speaker 3: is a welfare one. There was a view among the
Speaker 3: presidents today that each club that should employ under the
Speaker 3: softcap or otherwise a player or a pass player half
Speaker 3: player to look after players who used to play for
Speaker 3: the club, but not every single club has one in
Speaker 3: order to increase the welfare for players who no longer.
Speaker 5: That should have been the soft Cup, because that's not
Speaker 5: for the current players, that's for the past player. That's
Speaker 5: right now, You're right, I love the last one on
Speaker 5: to keep it confidential? Yeah, how does that come?
Speaker 3: To keep it confidential? And I'm sure it's going to
Speaker 3: be in the papers tomorrow and.
Speaker 1: But I'll give you the chip and footy once three
Speaker 1: people know you've got a leak.
Speaker 2: If I only tell you, I know that.
Speaker 1: You've leaked, Rof tell him as well, then know it
Speaker 1: was him and that's what happens.
Speaker 4: So told you I can't tell you.
Speaker 2: To talk about the commission all right.
Speaker 1: Now, that's this is getting murky there because people are
Speaker 1: actively lobbying behind the scenes to become the next year
Speaker 1: of the AFL.
Speaker 3: So what's happening Because Richard Goider, there's a lot of
Speaker 3: pressure on him to move on, and it feels like
Speaker 3: he's not going to move on.
Speaker 4: Why is that?
Speaker 2: He wants to stay on. He wants to stay on
Speaker 2: for three years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So why is that why?
Speaker 1: Well, he believes he's the right person at the moment
Speaker 1: to be there, and you just saw there that none
Speaker 1: of the commissioners want to tack the jump. So I
Speaker 1: reckon it's time to maybe move on a few commissioners
Speaker 1: who have been there too long if they don't have
Speaker 1: any aspirations to move on, if they've got a key position,
Speaker 1: fair enough. But there's some good people. So Jeff Brown
Speaker 1: is being mentioned in dispatches now. It's spoken of Jeff
Speaker 1: and at the moment he doesn't really want to do
Speaker 1: it himself.
Speaker 2: At various times, I think Jeff.
Speaker 1: Has thought about it, but he's going through his myeloma.
Speaker 1: He's going really well at the moment, but he has
Speaker 1: dedicated himself to find a cure for mieloma.
Speaker 2: He's also gone away later in a year.
Speaker 1: But he's a guy who could walk straight in and
Speaker 1: be the chair, the one who was starting to come
Speaker 1: into big calculations is John Wiley from Outside Football, former
Speaker 1: head of the Sports Commission. He was the guy who
Speaker 1: actually was the head of the MCG trustees when they
Speaker 1: built the new Northern Stand. One of the biggest issues
Speaker 1: that we have to get is the right person for
Speaker 1: the jobs that are coming up. So we need somebody
Speaker 1: who understands how the AFL does and participates in the
Speaker 1: building of the mcgbody who knows their way around business.
Speaker 1: He's a guy who was born in Queensland and became
Speaker 1: an AFL follower, and of course he's one of the
Speaker 1: Austral's most successful businessmen. So there's two that rock straight.
Speaker 1: Pridam's the other one, Andrew Pridham. Now he's got the
Speaker 1: knocks on him because he's well known for thinking that's
Speaker 1: and killed in North Melbourne should be gone. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there's a long way back from there, but you can
Speaker 1: come back from that situation change it.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm saying if you're going to But at the same time,
Speaker 1: what I think they need to do is I think
Speaker 1: they need to put Peter Gordon onto that commission because
Speaker 1: the concussion situation is massive. His acumen and leadership during
Speaker 1: the War Council during COVID was exemplary. So was Andrew
Speaker 1: Pridam's and so a few other people involved in it.
Speaker 1: So there's good people around the place. But what the
Speaker 1: AFL has got to do is not just paint the
Speaker 1: Commission by numbers. They have to get serious people in
Speaker 1: because Valand's. Valandis has given us a hiding at the moment,
Speaker 1: and we need to fight back. And you know what
Speaker 1: the problem is. We're not doing that badly, but we're
Speaker 1: not selling the message of it.
Speaker 5: That's what I was going to say. The Anthele's doing
Speaker 5: extremely well, but Landy's is getting all the publicity and
Speaker 5: looks like Landy's walking all over the AFL, particularly in
Speaker 5: other states. It's not actually the case. But the Commission,
Speaker 5: in my opinion, they have more voice than need to
Speaker 5: be out there telling for what they're doing.
Speaker 1: But Herdi, you have a look on the weekend, Caroline
Speaker 1: Wilson wrote a story. Now I can tell you exactly
Speaker 1: where that came, but I won't. I want don't have
Speaker 1: it right, but Michael Warner to anything, Okay, But what's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that people in the media are
Speaker 1: being briefed, and they're writing opinion pieces, large opinion pieces,
Speaker 1: which then become the talk on the radio, then become
Speaker 1: the talk on television shows, and people are lining up
Speaker 1: Richard Goid at the moment. And there was another big
Speaker 1: expose in the Australian where pretty just came out in
Speaker 1: about the concussion situation. So it's happening everywhere at the moment,
Speaker 1: and we'll.
Speaker 4: Keep talking about it.
Speaker 2: Discussion on decision has to be made. I think they
Speaker 2: need to move.
Speaker 1: You know, they've been talking about filling up this commission god.
Speaker 5: Knows how long now you or not seriously because your
Speaker 5: name gets battered around, which is something you want to do?
Speaker 2: I'd do anything for footy, would.
Speaker 5: You if something? Do you want to be on the commission?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: I think probably I'd be better off at the moment
Speaker 1: actually helping just do what I do, help with ideas
Speaker 1: and things like that. If I was offered a position
Speaker 1: on the commission here, of course I'm taken. I probably wouldn't,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it fits in with what
Speaker 1: I do. But what I'm saying is that I think
Speaker 1: there are people out there.
Speaker 2: Not just for the chair.
Speaker 1: It needs to not become a single issue Senate, and
Speaker 1: that's where the Commission is looking a lot like at
Speaker 1: the moment. There's big issues and I've got to get
Speaker 1: to them, one of which is the drug issues.
Speaker 2: And we'll get to that a little bit later in Footy.
Speaker 1: Classified as we come off the top rope on that,
Speaker 1: because that could well decide whether there's a revolution in
Speaker 1: this game that's going out next Welcome back to Footy Classified.
Speaker 1: As we said, there's a lot of good things happening
Speaker 1: in football and Tom, you are there today for an
Speaker 1: announcement I wanted as a ripper for past players and
Speaker 1: for the future of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the current crop of footballers for since twenty seventeen
Speaker 3: have funded pass players who've needed assistance to the tune
Speaker 3: of twenty four million dollars.
Speaker 4: This has now been elevated as per.
Speaker 3: Today's discussion, to fifty four million dollars between twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three and twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: How do you qualify for hardship?
Speaker 3: Well, so you have to have played a game in
Speaker 3: VFL AFL football or since twenty seventeen just been on
Speaker 3: a list.
Speaker 2: And what is hardship though?
Speaker 1: Is it because it just down on your luck or
Speaker 1: is it your body's gone from.
Speaker 4: Playing physical, mental, emotional energy above.
Speaker 1: So you were forced out of the game. You had
Speaker 1: to go to the commission, didn't you. And what's the
Speaker 1: term for the tripingal.
Speaker 6: The careending Irongrey. You go to the AFLPA and there's
Speaker 6: a commission that take care of it. But yeah, so
Speaker 6: my eyes were deemed too risky and the detachment as
Speaker 6: I've had far too risky to continue playing. I've lost
Speaker 6: some my sight over the time too, so there's some
Speaker 6: future issues I'll have. And if you're zoom that camera
Speaker 6: up close enough to my eyes, you see they look
Speaker 6: a little different as well, which probably affects Belinda more
Speaker 6: than me.
Speaker 7: But no, it is it's so good.
Speaker 2: At the moment, this is anyway, but it's good.
Speaker 6: It's one of the great things that AFLPA is set
Speaker 6: up over the years is to look after their past players,
Speaker 6: not only with hardship funds like this, but in terms
Speaker 6: of medical assistance with that physiotherapy hospital cover, also private
Speaker 6: health cover too, so they really do take care of.
Speaker 7: Their past players.
Speaker 4: So this is what was discussed today.
Speaker 3: The AFL and the AFL Players Association have come together
Speaker 3: and this is what it is I've spoken to you.
Speaker 4: Through the eligibility. The key metric is.
Speaker 3: Since twenty seventeen Rory this programmer has assisted twelve hundred
Speaker 3: former players men and women, and up to six hundred thousand.
Speaker 4: Dollars per player.
Speaker 3: So if you have a player hypothetically that is rendered
Speaker 3: a quadriplegic from football, they are eligible for six hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars as part of this fun It's just a
Speaker 3: concussion one as well, and this also includes concussion as well,
Speaker 3: So concussion is part of this and it will be
Speaker 3: determined by an independent panel to determine exactly how seriously.
Speaker 6: Well the concussion would have to be the big job
Speaker 6: for this because there are so many players falling out
Speaker 6: of the game due to concussion.
Speaker 5: Any Yeah, I think we've called all you particularly the
Speaker 5: show that more needs to be done. This exactly needs
Speaker 5: to be done. Congratulations to the Association of the AFL.
Speaker 5: We do have to go with everyone a lot of
Speaker 5: the time, but it's the right time, the right place
Speaker 5: and well done and know a lot of players. It
Speaker 5: just needs to be advertised more too, so players know
Speaker 5: about it and a lot of players will be taken
Speaker 5: care of. The fantastic I just.
Speaker 1: Think that is absolutely well done to everyone involved in that,
Speaker 1: the AFLP, Paul Marsh and of course Andrew Dylan, the
Speaker 1: CEO of the AFL to get that done, it's a
Speaker 1: ripper for the people. We've got to look after the players.
Speaker 1: And again I keep saying it so I think the
Speaker 1: Commission needs to turn itself back into our game and
Speaker 1: look after our game, not at the expense of everything else,
Speaker 1: but actually just focusing back in.
Speaker 3: I just love the fact it's funded by the current
Speaker 3: players as well, showing that they're invested. He and he
Speaker 3: spoke about Paul Marsh briefly. Then he was part of
Speaker 3: the briefing today he's leaving the AFLPA at the end
Speaker 3: of the week. In fact, Andrew Dillon today thanked Paul
Speaker 3: Marsh for all his work over the years. And as
Speaker 3: part of this he spoke about the illicit drugs policy.
Speaker 3: And I classify this as a parting shot at you.
Speaker 8: Show us the evidence that a more purnitive approach is
Speaker 8: going to actually improve outcomes on this issue, Like this
Speaker 8: is an issue that we always both of us, have
Speaker 8: always taken as an identify support you try to change behaviors,
Speaker 8: and that's still what we're trying to do with the policy.
Speaker 8: So I don't think it's helpful getting into a discussion.
Speaker 8: I think what can get frustrating on an issue like
Speaker 8: this is there are a lot of people who are
Speaker 8: not experts in this space, who have a whole of
Speaker 8: solutions based on nothing that we can work out that
Speaker 8: makes it of scenes in terms of how you to
Speaker 8: deal with it.
Speaker 5: Like we're working with experts.
Speaker 8: We've got a behavior change approach to this that hopefully
Speaker 8: we're not so far away from agreeing to something that
Speaker 8: can be an ouse.
Speaker 3: So there won't be punitive measures that come in. And
Speaker 3: not just me, but other journalists in the room interpreted
Speaker 3: this as a real crack at you and the stance
Speaker 3: you've taken again as well, so Anya and other people
Speaker 3: that have been against some of the afield.
Speaker 2: I don't know it's going to pull about it, but
Speaker 2: I'll find out from him.
Speaker 1: But let's say it was okay, that's that's a softening up,
Speaker 1: because they're going to come in with a very soft
Speaker 1: drug coat, okay, and people aren't going to like it.
Speaker 1: And I mean if we saw it as later as
Speaker 1: over the weekend with Bailey Smith completely laughing at the
Speaker 1: AFL making idiots of them, players who can constantly go
Speaker 1: in and go to the doctor at the club and say, oh,
Speaker 1: I've got a headache, I break up with my girlfriend
Speaker 1: and self reporting and doing all these things. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I am. I'm sick of going to funerals.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of watching people their careers go. I'm sick
Speaker 1: of clubs being exploded because of these situations. I'm sick
Speaker 1: of players putting themselves in harm way with nefarious activities
Speaker 1: which will lead to players for getting fixed up.
Speaker 2: As far as the.
Speaker 1: Match fixing is concerned, umpires who take who get involved
Speaker 1: in drugs and don't think that doesn't happen. Put the well,
Speaker 1: where are you going to? We don't go down the
Speaker 1: chemists warehouse. As I said on the news, who do
Speaker 1: you reckon? Are selling these things? So at the moment,
Speaker 1: here's where our drug cart has got to moved along.
Speaker 1: If you self report, you get nothing. If you get
Speaker 1: caught on matchday because you took it one night too
Speaker 1: late or whatever the case, or they've got better drug
Speaker 1: testing capabilities, you.
Speaker 2: Get put out for life.
Speaker 1: You get four years, you're cooked and your life's done.
Speaker 2: Okay, And if you get your photo taken, you get
Speaker 2: RUDD there for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Now, let's say I'm a really bad person, okay, and
Speaker 1: I go around the summer and I start taking photos
Speaker 1: of people, and I build up a nice little cash
Speaker 1: of photos of a particular club. You get to pliminary
Speaker 1: final week and you go up to that club with
Speaker 1: those players and you say, I've got photos of you.
Speaker 1: You're going to get two weeks. Your season's gone. Is
Speaker 1: going to be a bigger scandal in the world. Pay
Speaker 1: up or do as I say, what do you reckon happens?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: So I believe in what the AFL and the PA
Speaker 1: have done over the years as far as the empathy
Speaker 1: and the medical approach to it, but we're long past it.
Speaker 1: I think the community has now said enough, we have
Speaker 1: to have some parameters, and whether that is on the
Speaker 1: streets or anywhere else, okay, and that's what we need
Speaker 1: to do now. We can't just keep going down this path.
Speaker 1: It's not working. Every other week another player gets themselves
Speaker 1: into a complete shamuzzle.
Speaker 3: And you're not an expert though you're a form of
Speaker 3: com Let me.
Speaker 2: Just finish right.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm an expert on right, I
Speaker 1: don't know how many too many people have had two
Speaker 1: blokes sit on their couch perspiring almost to dissolving themselves
Speaker 1: because they've been found guilty of taking a drug that
Speaker 1: was laced and they get two years. And I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there with Gary Purt, Neilbam and two young Collingwood players
Speaker 1: and their lives on the line, and we go, yep,
Speaker 1: we'll look after you. We'll get you through the whole situation.
Speaker 1: Not what the PA say that clubs will burn you.
Speaker 1: And as no one a football clubs wants to burn
Speaker 1: people unless you deserve to.
Speaker 2: Be kicked out of the club.
Speaker 1: Right, So I do take unbridge at that because I've
Speaker 1: sat there and watched it, and as I said, I've
Speaker 1: been to too many funerals. I've seen too many players.
Speaker 1: It's happening every other week. Wake up and smell the roses.
Speaker 1: For God's sake. The community does not want to copy
Speaker 1: this anymore. If there's one thing that the AFL can
Speaker 1: stand up and do in life is be against drugs.
Speaker 2: It's killing our community.
Speaker 1: It's killing football clubs in the suburbs, it's killing them
Speaker 1: in the country.
Speaker 2: It's into the Women's group. As I said, it's everywhere.
Speaker 1: Now, one in nine people in Victoria on the roads
Speaker 1: when they get pulled up are drug effected. So we
Speaker 1: know it's everywhere. But we're paying people enough money not
Speaker 1: to do this. So I say they need to have
Speaker 1: a really good heart look at this. And I'm putting
Speaker 1: it on the record once and for all because I
Speaker 1: was the first person to bring this up in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine at a President's money with the Commission.
Speaker 2: I sat through all.
Speaker 1: The what we're going to do with the drug situation
Speaker 1: and it is off the charts. So enough of the
Speaker 1: carry on. Let's just do it properly. If they won't
Speaker 1: to ever go up mere that, that's fine. But I
Speaker 1: will say this, and I said on the news three
Speaker 1: things in life that you'll live by if you want
Speaker 1: to be successful.
Speaker 2: Don't do drugs. Don't do drugs. Don't do drugs.
Speaker 1: And you can line up every expert from here to
Speaker 1: Tim bucktoo to come and argue that point with me.
Speaker 1: You reckon doing drugs is good? Come and see me.
Speaker 4: We're got a break. Will be back after this.
Speaker 7: What about Joe Burrow as well?
Speaker 5: Because this is one of my favorite stories that you've
Speaker 5: ever told.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: Sorry, he was in Melbourne, so I thought i'd write
Speaker 3: a message and I'm a training and I get up
Speaker 3: the track and he's replied to me and yeah, he
Speaker 3: was like, yeah.
Speaker 2: We'll get a feed and stuff.
Speaker 3: So we went to Novu who looked after the bill.
Speaker 7: He did well.
Speaker 4: It was funny.
Speaker 1: Me and Jayden get our credit cards out, like and
Speaker 1: he's like, boys come on drums his American.
Speaker 6: Express, Guinea and Simac like to steal the celebrations, so
Speaker 6: they keep one first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well, I actually didn't see it because I was on
Speaker 9: the bench and he did it and needed it that
Speaker 9: quick and he's so small that you can't seehim around
Speaker 9: the other people's.
Speaker 10: Yeah, one of the worst decisions I ever made in
Speaker 10: my life. Look, I'm trying to find love, okay, just
Speaker 10: like yourself, exact.
Speaker 4: Same two years of therapy down the dry by bringing
Speaker 4: that Joe.
Speaker 1: Back up for me, let's play as Phillips Vondenhoff there
Speaker 1: getting the grill from Sarah Rowe who won the A.
Speaker 2: League Soccer Championship.
Speaker 1: Back to training for the afl W and of course
Speaker 1: a Gaelic football star. Also on last night, Mattcoffee and
Speaker 1: Connor McDonald a fantastic show and the people are loving
Speaker 1: it on YouTube and of course on all the socials.
Speaker 2: Tommy, that's going beautifully.
Speaker 1: And right after your show on Monday night Footy Classified.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get stuck in it now. It's time
Speaker 1: to go to the boys over there.
Speaker 2: We're going to get to need to break well. I've
Speaker 2: been getting a lot of missage.
Speaker 1: They're all on me, take it away, he coaches, and
Speaker 1: I come on, Hurdie and Rory, let's go.
Speaker 5: I've got a lot to live up to here after
Speaker 5: that last Sea thank you, Edwin've got the Pies versus
Speaker 5: the Hawks, and this really is the match of the round.
Speaker 5: I love the Collingwood system the way they're playing at
Speaker 5: the moment. Rory, there's fantastically coached by they're coaching Craig mccrane.
Speaker 5: You look at these numbers, handball's and meters gain ranked fourth,
Speaker 5: handball stop AGEGG scores fourth, change the score third, defensive
Speaker 5: half the score third, scores sprints I fifty first and
Speaker 5: scores some turnover third. It goes to show a team
Speaker 5: knows exactly what they're doing, what the coach wants them trained,
Speaker 5: the perfection and to me, Craig McCrae is the best
Speaker 5: coach in competition by a long way.
Speaker 6: At the moment, you know you've got a great system
Speaker 6: when your players that are coming in to fill that void,
Speaker 6: and you've seen your players are having ripping games as well.
Speaker 7: And who do we have?
Speaker 6: We had Will Parker, Markov, Will Hazel come in, but
Speaker 6: Ned Long, he's been a superstar since.
Speaker 5: Next man really his next man up. We're missing Penbury,
Speaker 5: We're missing side Bottom, missing these players, but ned Long
Speaker 5: scenes were playing the Penderbury role. They know exactly what
Speaker 5: they're doing and when they get out there on the
Speaker 5: on the on the ground, the positioning, the way they
Speaker 5: run through the contest is just second to none them.
Speaker 6: We'll have a look at some footage in a second.
Speaker 6: The players have got to come back into.
Speaker 5: Like some of these guys coming back Penderbury, Side Bottom, more,
Speaker 5: Bobby Hill and Lucky Shields. Now, that's that's a fire
Speaker 5: than any club would want. And these guys will come
Speaker 5: back in Friday night. That's gonna be very hard to
Speaker 5: stop for the Hawks.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But so let's take a look at some of their
Speaker 6: footage because they are all on the same page and
Speaker 6: it's this.
Speaker 7: It's type of footy that you're loving at the moment.
Speaker 5: It is. I mean, it's very hard to stop this
Speaker 5: Kamakazi handball. See the lanes they're all in, They know
Speaker 5: where to play the ball and the head of the ball,
Speaker 5: it's almost impossible stop. I want to see ned Long here.
Speaker 5: You can see ned Long just coming to spread. Just here.
Speaker 5: The way they run and know where the ball's going.
Speaker 5: He at all times know where the ball's going. Holding
Speaker 5: their lanes, dacos coming in, they're holding the lanes out white.
Speaker 5: But that kamakazi handball going through is almost impossible stop.
Speaker 5: That last quart against North Melbourne was sensational football, Long
Speaker 5: getting the ball coming out of stoppage and beautiful goal
Speaker 5: at the end of it.
Speaker 6: Well, and the other thing is it's ball on chess too,
Speaker 6: and it makes the ball flow a whole lot easier
Speaker 6: to keep that ball on body and allows a ball
Speaker 6: to flow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're up against the Hawks, who again have a
Speaker 5: very defined system. They love to move the ball quickly.
Speaker 5: Then the reason they need to move the ball quickly
Speaker 5: is their small forward line. You can't bombit in. You
Speaker 5: look at the forwards with kicking goals, guns and a
Speaker 5: Marbo Child taller players kicking twenty three and twenty but
Speaker 5: the rest of the players for Hawthorne kicking goals are
Speaker 5: smaller forwards. If you move move the ball slowly. If
Speaker 5: that small forward line, they won't score. It has to
Speaker 5: move quickly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's something we love about Hawthorne too, is
Speaker 7: the ball moving. In particular.
Speaker 6: We'll have a look at how they play it against
Speaker 6: Prison because they want to take these sort of kicks.
Speaker 7: They want to take the game on. They don't want
Speaker 7: to be going wrong to not long down the line, No,
Speaker 7: not at all.
Speaker 5: They players to do it, and they're good enough to win.
Speaker 7: This contest here. But if we pause in a second.
Speaker 5: Here, it has to come there, doesn't It.
Speaker 6: Has to come here. And the start of the year
Speaker 6: Hawthorne we're hitting his kick. Colingwood will do exactly why
Speaker 6: Prison They'll cover that off with their half forwards coming
Speaker 6: up the ground and all they want to do is
Speaker 6: force that ball to the boundary because they know they'll
Speaker 6: be set up long down the line.
Speaker 5: I just don't have the too forwards down the line.
Speaker 5: Harris Andrews read that very easily.
Speaker 6: Didn't he He did absolutely and then this is the
Speaker 6: other style of Hawthorne will play. They will flick it
Speaker 6: around with hands and that will invite Collingwood's unbelievablek See,
Speaker 6: now the.
Speaker 5: Ball has to come to the other side of the ground.
Speaker 5: He kicks a bin. Now it comes back. It has
Speaker 5: to come to the other side, so they can kick
Speaker 5: their way through and open up the space for those forwards.
Speaker 6: And this is okay, but they need to take the
Speaker 6: easy option. They need to keep this ball moving and
Speaker 6: Collingwood will set up a zone. They'll tease this kick
Speaker 6: and if you don't nail that kick, which Hawthorne didn't
Speaker 6: do on the weekend, Colin, We're going to chop it off.
Speaker 5: Yeah. The other thing the Hawks have been really good
Speaker 5: at is getting freeze and goals from high tackles. I mean,
Speaker 5: I think their fourteenth in the league from the number
Speaker 5: one forteen tackle, fourteen goals and tackles. This is fantastic
Speaker 5: play here by the Gold Coast Sons. They just didn't tackle.
Speaker 5: They know Watson's going to his knees and I think
Speaker 5: sides are onto Hawthorne. Not only is the players, but
Speaker 5: the umpires. The tackling methodology of Brisbane and Gold Coast
Speaker 5: the week before is such improved that Hawthorne, really, I reckon,
Speaker 5: I have to get this out of the game because
Speaker 5: they're being found out.
Speaker 7: What's a taught thing, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Coaches would have spoken about this and say like, I
Speaker 6: want you to stand up. You've got to be careful
Speaker 6: that coming underneath. But as you mentioned before, I love
Speaker 6: that umpires aren't falling for this anymore. They're allowing players
Speaker 6: to Yep, if they do want to duck their head
Speaker 6: and you do slightly get them on the shoulder, They're
Speaker 6: going to allow that to play on and rewarded tackle
Speaker 6: because we don't want to see head knocks or people's heads.
Speaker 5: No. And there's two types of tackles I've said to
Speaker 5: notice the real differences. One is the tackle from behind,
Speaker 5: where you lay your head on the back and you
Speaker 5: really drop down and bring them back. And the other
Speaker 5: one is against the Hawks players, it's almost like a
Speaker 5: bear hug. You start to tackle your hug and as
Speaker 5: soon as they drop their knees you can take your
Speaker 5: hands away and they look a bit silly. And I've
Speaker 5: seen that come in over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: You can almost get a free kick without even tackling
Speaker 6: as we saw a couple of clips there, so a
Speaker 6: couple of unbelievable sides.
Speaker 7: Collingwood in a bit better form. But who wins this game?
Speaker 4: For me?
Speaker 5: It's Collingwood, I think with those players are coming back
Speaker 5: to collinand what about to you?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Collingwood win.
Speaker 6: I think a bit too consistent at the moment, but
Speaker 6: wouldn't be surprised if Hawthorne pulled one out of the bag.
Speaker 7: And Sammy is such a good coach.
Speaker 5: Well, I think Edie said a glass of water and
Speaker 5: settled down.
Speaker 1: So maybe feel a lot happier now after that. Normally
Speaker 1: you guys are really good tonight you're magnificent. We'll tell
Speaker 1: your break come back Lexus of Blackburn Player of the
Speaker 1: round right after this, thanks to Andrew Moore and all
Speaker 1: the team the best cars in the land at Lexus
Speaker 1: of Blackburn.
Speaker 2: That's coming up next.
Speaker 5: I thank you. It's a privileged to come and talk
Speaker 5: about the great man. First time we met Toby how
Speaker 5: about thirteen thirteen and young lad came and knocked on
Speaker 5: my door and asked have a game of cricket on
Speaker 5: the street. So on the tough streets of turek we
Speaker 5: we we bowled a few overs and he got me
Speaker 5: out and then I hit him for six, so we
Speaker 5: had That's first time I met Toby and I didn't realize,
Speaker 5: but it's probably five or six years later. Seven eight
Speaker 5: years later, I was coaching against the Giants and this
Speaker 5: young eighteen year old started bashing up my team. He
Speaker 5: said to She's after the game, I said, man, who's
Speaker 5: this green kid? He's going to be a star. Can
Speaker 5: just tell his football intelligence was off the charts. And
Speaker 5: she's looked at me and said, you wait, this kid
Speaker 5: will be a champion. And he has been the reason
Speaker 5: I love watching him. He's the favorite player in the
Speaker 5: AFL is you just know he's never been. He's a
Speaker 5: competitive animal and congratulations both one and fifty games. A
Speaker 5: great achievement. And it's been a privileged to be a
Speaker 5: really small part of your career and watch you play.
Speaker 2: Wonderful stuff you beautifully see.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: I got to know Toby at the time at the
Speaker 5: Giants and we've kept in touch, have dinners and lunches
Speaker 5: when he comes to Melbourne. Just a quality individual and
Speaker 5: as I said, love what a star.
Speaker 2: Is had he get through the media pact to get
Speaker 2: to your daughter. Knock on it.
Speaker 5: He's fair family lived across the road and yeah he
Speaker 5: battled through. Wish he had have been there about five
Speaker 5: years later and sorted out a few you would have
Speaker 5: had a pretty good bouncer. Actually, paint a picture for me.
Speaker 5: What's a six look like?
Speaker 7: In tuak? Is it over ranging it over the third level?
Speaker 4: Talking to the right people.
Speaker 2: Of it? I wish what Lee Riches used to say.
Speaker 1: So they're so good in Twrek they put their their
Speaker 1: rubbish out in suitcasess.
Speaker 4: Man all right, ed tap, No, Lexus, thanks you to
Speaker 4: take over now? No, I just wanted to big in
Speaker 4: the hurry up. And I want to know about Lexus
Speaker 4: a black Ben.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't want to miss out on that. No,
Speaker 2: because they are magnificent cars.
Speaker 1: These Lexus fifty five thousand dollars worth of car, the
Speaker 1: Lexus lb X two w D two whill drive, twelve
Speaker 1: months of VIC registration, all roads, the costs as well
Speaker 1: on road costs thanks to a Lexus.
Speaker 2: Andrew Morten ha seen a lexis Black Ben. Right, Go Tommy,
Speaker 2: you're first.
Speaker 7: Up, Eddie.
Speaker 3: I would never take over for year, But what I
Speaker 3: will say is if Toby Green is James Hurd's favorite
Speaker 3: playing the.
Speaker 4: Why doesn't he have him this week? I've got him
Speaker 4: and it's absolutely montevid.
Speaker 3: He wins at twenty eight disposals, three goals against Carlton
Speaker 3: the captain, two fifty games played in the midfield. Unbelievable
Speaker 3: day out. Also my favorite player in the AFL and
Speaker 3: has to be the Lexus of Blackburn Player of the Week.
Speaker 6: Well, you got in about three quarter time of this
Speaker 6: game and submitted your man, but no, my man Jordan Dawson.
Speaker 6: I'm going to support my team. Obviously, Jordan Dawson was exceptional.
Speaker 6: He has been for this whole year. I reckon he'd
Speaker 6: be him and Nick day class be leading the brownla
Speaker 6: at the moment. His ability to go forward heard, he's
Speaker 6: been outstanding. He takes such good marks overhead. He actually
Speaker 6: started the game forward and I was getting a bit
Speaker 6: frustrated because I reckon he win the Brown Loane. I
Speaker 6: thought he was going to have a quiet day with
Speaker 6: Sam Barry in the middle playing a ripping game as well.
Speaker 7: But Jordan Dawton, So.
Speaker 2: Why do you give Sam Berry the votes?
Speaker 1: Because he was the most tackles in the game, second
Speaker 1: most positions, kick the great goal while going for the
Speaker 1: chow point rather than Sam.
Speaker 6: Barry Jordan Dawson. No, Sam Berry's my mate, He's like
Speaker 6: my Toby Green. Yeah, I love him, absolutely loving, But
Speaker 6: Jordan Dawson was a little class here and just a
Speaker 6: bit more efficient.
Speaker 2: Semmy Berry is my man. Needs to stay around there.
Speaker 2: That players all the time.
Speaker 5: Cousy Pickett, I mean, I love you. He could have
Speaker 5: kicked well, he could have kicked ten goals, couldn't he
Speaker 5: twenty four disposals, thirteen score involvements, cis clearance in five
Speaker 5: goals and it's no coincidence that Melbourne Football Club are
Speaker 5: playing much better football. They missed him at the start
Speaker 5: of the year. He's the class of miss and I'll
Speaker 5: tell you what the some Melbourne supporters just praying that
Speaker 5: he doesn't go back to Freemattle. Simon Goodan was promised
Speaker 5: he'll stay, but watching him play on the weekend was
Speaker 5: very very special and hopefully he stays at the DS
Speaker 5: for Melbourne supporters because he is one special player and on.
Speaker 2: Doug Nichol's round it was just absolutely sensasion with icing
Speaker 2: on the cake I've gone because you know.
Speaker 1: Some of those games were just this was the match
Speaker 1: of the round, This was the heavyweight title fight. And
Speaker 1: outcomes this bloke and kicks eight. If you don't mind,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Cameron is a superstar of the game. It's all
Speaker 1: that one under his left foot, kicks it under pressure,
Speaker 1: puts it through around the body, dead in front. Whatever
Speaker 1: you want, he does it. He marks, he runs up
Speaker 1: the ground. He's one of those great center half forwards.
Speaker 1: He actually runs far and wide and look at that
Speaker 1: just knows how to play terrific.
Speaker 6: These last few weeks have been enormous in Stangers coming,
Speaker 6: and we know how great Danger has been in that
Speaker 6: side too.
Speaker 7: But RDI, what do you? What are you doing when
Speaker 7: Danger comes back with Jesse? You painting still up the ground?
Speaker 5: Or you might have to push Danger up there in
Speaker 5: the middle of the ground. Let have a bit of
Speaker 5: a bit of space, Danger and Bailey.
Speaker 2: Danger, Bonysmith and Danger putting it on your chest? All right?
Speaker 5: Who wins? We seriously Toby obviously, but sometimes he's got
Speaker 5: to be unbiaseds he picket and.
Speaker 1: He's got in his contract he gets three out of four.
Speaker 1: Do you want to people at home? She'd realize that
Speaker 1: we come, I come in and it's all done already.
Speaker 2: The first three.
Speaker 5: It's like we actually put these in on a Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I still Jeremy Cameron was the this but anyway, we'll
Speaker 2: take a break when we come back. News or noise
Speaker 2: after this and a.
Speaker 1: Father daughter record at the Carvin Football Club.
Speaker 2: That's next.
Speaker 1: Inside of a gay one fifty a chart, a girl,
Speaker 1: an infect of a car. A cay can have a
Speaker 1: shot yet and he can have a shop for thirty
Speaker 1: meters out the bush, reach around and a great kick,
Speaker 1: great white hot car.
Speaker 7: Number five.
Speaker 10: Incredibly brittles to announce it. Kay, Yeah, I think I've
Speaker 10: been the Carlton person my whole life, so to be
Speaker 10: kind of named captain is just like such an honor.
Speaker 7: And yeah it was really real.
Speaker 10: My family's pretty like he but yeah, that was super excited,
Speaker 10: super happy for me. And yeah, yeah, so far he
Speaker 10: just said, you've got a captain fifteen games to be
Speaker 10: able to beat where I was, So that's kind of
Speaker 10: the goal so far. But no, he's kind of just said, yourself,
Speaker 10: make sure you still focus on being a good player
Speaker 10: because that's kind of what's important on game there.
Speaker 1: Great stuff for Andrew McKay and Abby McKay now the
Speaker 1: captain of the Carlton Football Club. A little sister Sophie
Speaker 1: has been recruited there as well, and wow, she's an
Speaker 1: absolute gal. Watched her play in the under eleven so
Speaker 1: that back when you were coaching.
Speaker 5: Yeah, great little problem.
Speaker 2: It was indeed so well done. So the McKay's what
Speaker 2: a great story.
Speaker 1: The first time a father daughter have been captains of
Speaker 1: one particular club.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get in the news or noise into.
Speaker 3: It, tyrant ed, let's go and Rory Sloan is up first,
Speaker 3: News or Noise. Sam Collins had a last laugh in
Speaker 3: this battle with Rossline. Before you answer, this is Sam
Speaker 3: Collins today.
Speaker 7: No, I don't think so. The last opinion of his
Speaker 7: I took was winning delisted me. So I don't care
Speaker 7: for his opinion anymore. That's new is that's my job
Speaker 7: for the moment. He handled that very well.
Speaker 3: That's good stuff from Sad. I like Gold Coast versus
Speaker 3: and Kuila, it's simmering rivalry. I'm really enjoying Anie News
Speaker 3: on Noise. Fox should have been at the mcg on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed Brian Taylor's backhand and the shots there that's
Speaker 1: the Fox box. The Fox were calling it from the hub.
Speaker 1: They put all their all their energies into Saturday. They
Speaker 1: do nine games as opposed to the four that seven
Speaker 1: do three three games.
Speaker 4: No three seven to three three Yeah, Thursday, Friday.
Speaker 2: Sunday, Sunday.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: So my point there is that margins are pretty tight
Speaker 1: and foot at the moment, and they've paid a whole
Speaker 1: whack to actually broadcast the game, and it would be
Speaker 1: better if they were at the MCG. Of course, that
Speaker 1: would be the perfect world. We don't live in a
Speaker 1: perfect world, and you have to actually just get yourself
Speaker 1: and get your budgets right.
Speaker 2: So I give them a slight.
Speaker 1: Pass gimetic, because that's that's just the reality of television
Speaker 1: when you actually are running these things and broadcasting.
Speaker 2: It's not a perfect world anymore.
Speaker 5: Herdi News on Noise.
Speaker 4: Five weeks of buyers is a joke.
Speaker 5: Absolutely new that is a joke. Five weeks of poor footy.
Speaker 5: You can't have forty nine games of footy every I mean,
Speaker 5: nine games are fantastic rule you can watch them Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 5: five games, not five weeks of drawers buys. Sorry, not
Speaker 5: the answer.
Speaker 7: I'd love a full week off of buyers. That's my view.
Speaker 6: I'd love a full week off at some point during
Speaker 6: midway through the season, almost three or four.
Speaker 2: Weeks, because the TV actually pays for it, and you've
Speaker 2: got to put a program on every week.
Speaker 5: State we have two weeks where it's compromised, not five weeks.
Speaker 5: I think two weeks where's compromised there five weeks. Five
Speaker 5: weeks is too long.
Speaker 1: I think there's to get the five day breaks in
Speaker 1: as well, and all the other things that have been
Speaker 1: happening in the fixture. It is complicated, it's not ideal.
Speaker 1: It's a bit like what I just said before, but
Speaker 1: that's the reality that we live in.
Speaker 5: But I think if you've got, if you had you.
Speaker 2: Want fifty million for the past players, yes.
Speaker 5: You've got you've got Zeround, then you've got compromise, and
Speaker 5: you've got Gold Coast estimate at the end, then you've
Speaker 5: got five weeks of buyers. I just think that it's
Speaker 5: too long.
Speaker 1: Well thest one, I agree with you, that's ridiculous. They
Speaker 1: should have just said there it is.
Speaker 5: Just given us points. That's what's happening.
Speaker 11: It was a Gold Coast disaster, not you're saying, but
Speaker 11: you actually got a point. Yeah, it wasn't we would
Speaker 11: have we came to the should have turned up anyway, Rory.
Speaker 3: Last one for you, news on noise. The a f
Speaker 3: L should have punished Bailey Smith for his Instagram comment.
Speaker 7: No definitely news.
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially after Ed's great stance on drugs, Like, if
Speaker 6: you want a harder stance on drugs, you take that
Speaker 6: more seriously.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 9: Sorry, the a f L or Geelong, I think its
Speaker 9: an a FL issues and Geelong support that they're going
Speaker 9: to give Bailly Smith an official war on an unofficial warning.
Speaker 4: But if he does it again, he'll be in trouble.
Speaker 4: But there's not going to be no, there's no formal punishment.
Speaker 7: Along and very much at a club that will protect
Speaker 7: their players. But I'm sure behind the scenes they would
Speaker 7: have had.
Speaker 4: A quiet word to make they're counseling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but they need to have a loud word
Speaker 1: because we need to tell kids that it is not
Speaker 1: right and conduct down coming used to be the catch
Speaker 1: all for that situation they should.
Speaker 2: Have fallen into there.
Speaker 1: We all love Bailey Smith, but he's made the a
Speaker 1: f L and the AFL drug Code look ridiculous. Tonight
Speaker 1: and as they go into what we believe is going
Speaker 1: to be not the hardest of codes in the next
Speaker 1: couple weeks. He has become the poster boy for people
Speaker 1: taking the piece Eddie. We'll take a break and come
Speaker 1: back and wrap up Tab Top three right after this,
Speaker 1: Welcome back Tab Top three thanks to Gil McLoughlin going
Speaker 1: a gil finally getting some dough out of him.
Speaker 2: Tab what do we got? Top three? Which game we're looking.
Speaker 3: So, Levi Ashcroft looking at Thursday night Brisbane versus Essendon.
Speaker 3: My prediction for Tab is that he'll have twenty five
Speaker 3: and three.
Speaker 5: He's a gun.
Speaker 4: He always gets more than twenty disposals, and he's becoming
Speaker 4: more of a goal kicker.
Speaker 2: It's twenty every week, twenty five and three.
Speaker 4: He hasn't kicked more than one in a game.
Speaker 2: Okay, three, I'll take thank you. I'm glad you approved.
Speaker 6: Are you guys a chance to actually hit one at
Speaker 6: some pointing?
Speaker 7: Charlie Carol kick five this week? He'll have a few
Speaker 7: day up forward, ye, Charlie Harley, you get on the motorbike.
Speaker 5: And we I need Nate Caddy to be listening. Nate
Speaker 5: back to you for five goals last week you didn't
Speaker 5: kick one. I'm going to go with you again up
Speaker 5: in Brisbane. Five goals for Nate Caddy against the lines.
Speaker 2: I think you had a nice one, but you've got
Speaker 2: it out of order. There, there we go. We had
Speaker 2: Charlie Charlie Harley, Charlie Harley, Cameron yep.
Speaker 5: Well if you go out of order it doesn't count.
Speaker 7: You mean when you went out of order?
Speaker 5: Oh I didn't.
Speaker 2: We're still on.
Speaker 3: There we.
Speaker 2: Go boys.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be some discussion off our
Speaker 1: topics tonight. All that is said with absolute loving, our
Speaker 1: heart for the game of Australian rules football. It's not
Speaker 1: personal against anyone. We all believe that we have to
Speaker 1: look after our players from a pastory or point of view.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately we need to have a bit more stick,
Speaker 1: not just carrot.
Speaker 2: We'll take your break for a couple for a week.
Speaker 2: We'll come back. We've got due show on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Sunday shows, I said, and of course footy footy classified
Speaker 1: on Monday.
Speaker 2: And then we're back on Tuesday. Catch you next week.
