WEBVTT - Drugs, Ken & Hawks 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.319 Helloever, I'm welcome the Footy classified. What a big wig 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.200 it's been in footy. What a big duck it's all 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.079 been happening, and we're going to get stuck. 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:25.720 Into a few moments time. 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.600 Of course, the big news out of the tribunal tonight 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.720 on Alex Pearce will go to Tom Morrison a second, 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.800 we'll say, first, go Tom good it's a big dave. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.199 We've got a few things to get through. There was 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.320 a president's meeting last night. The Commission continues to be 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.479 under fire the Chief Commissioner. Certainly the A f l 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.000 p A have come out today and had to whack 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.800 it to certain luminaries. 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:48.760 Well, we'll talk about it later, we'll get into it. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.960 But absolutely, yeah, definitely, I'm Carlton alaide. 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:53.840 What's on the agenda? 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.760 S all right, we'll get into that. How are Rory welcome? 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.160 Rory Sloane is with us and James h joining us tonight, 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.080 you know who. Let's get stuck into the action straight away. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.960 So first off, before we go to the tribunal, you're 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.880 going to beat the tribunal that's going to revolutionize the 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.160 game by talking about Ken Hinckley. 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.240 You've got some fresh male out of Adelaide. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:13.840 Yah, I do, Eddie. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.880 What I can tell you tonight is that Ken Hinckley 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.800 will walk away from Port Adelaide if and when he 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.640 believes the club is out of contention. Now Port and 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.399 Ken are perfectly aligned on this. They're very pragmatic about 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.959 his future. Port aren't going to walk in and sack 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.000 Ken Hinckley halfway over the year. They're going to let 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.880 Ken make the call if and when it does get 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.840 to that stage, and if it does, they'll do it 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.400 with dignity and they'll do it the right way. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.880 Now we're not there yet, but it could be a 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:38.640 matter of weeks away. 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.280 So what's changed? Why has it changed? Parlaments is a 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.360 performance space? Is that it or he's had enough for 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.039 the situation or the pressure from the media. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.760 And I think the reality of the situation has dawned 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.600 on Ken and people close to him that Port might 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.880 not contend and might not win a flag this year. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.760 So while it's still mathematically a chance, he'll keep coaching, 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.720 but until that happens, we could see a change. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.280 The first time this has happened by Bob Rose did 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.600 it for Lee Matthews at Collingwood. Just look at the 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.120 ladder though, so port Adelaide fifteenth if two games and 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.400 massive whack of percentage out, so they're basically three games 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.680 outside at the moment. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.000 How long's when? 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.600 Well, it's more concerning how players are finishing the game. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.920 Their second halves of footy have been deplorable at the moment, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.680 and heard you, I notice this If the club is 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.880 aligned with Ken, and Ken's aligned too, is this shackles 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.839 off for the players and they can like a sigh 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.440 of relief and get back to playing some really quality 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:30.720 on top of the ground sort of footy. 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.240 I'm not sure why you wouldn't be playing your best 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:33.960 footy anyway. I think if you want to be playing 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.880 your best footy, there might be a there might be 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.720 a bump, if you know, if Ken goes and Cars 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.880 in there. But what I would worry about is for 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.720 Car whether that's the right time for it to happen. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.560 I mean the moment he's got cover, He's got cover 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.000 while Ken's there, the performance he can go while he's gone, 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.720 But I have bad performances. What the supporters want is 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.280 they want instantaneous success, which they might not come. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.000 So Ken will do what's right for the club. So 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.280 if he believes that it's another four to six weeks 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.720 or eight weeks or whereever it is, he'll day. But 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.560 I'm now filmly the belief that he's made up his 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.560 mind that as soon as it's not right, he'll walk away. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:06.840 He's not going to push on for the same. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.480 They're going to buy this week and then they played 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.640 jud in Western Sydney, so. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.919 It's a mistake what happened started, So they've just gone 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.040 with Josh Carr or it's actually worked out. Okay. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.639 My personal opinion is I've got no issue with port 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.000 Adelaide going to the succession plan and having a crack 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.160 with Ken, but as soon as it's mathematically done, they 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.560 need to cut ties and allowed Josh car to take over, 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:27.760 So I don't have an issue with what they've done. 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.480 So you think she would let to take over from 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.639 Bang straight away. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.160 Josh, Well, there's actually a precident in Leon Cameron. He 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.280 left the Giants after round seven. Round eight allowed the 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.000 Giants to reset and go again the next year. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.000 Martin Vay wasn't coaching straight away. I mean they went 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:39.760 and gott but. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.400 It still allows the cup to breathe and go again. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:42.640 Well, what they've got to do is treat him with 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.440 respect because he's been so good fat club for twelve years. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.720 Yeah, and that's the most important thing. 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.640 How strong is that mail strong? Right? Yeah? 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.840 Okay, let's move on. Big night of the Tribune. Alex 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.320 Pierce has. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.360 He's been cleared. He'll play the next He'll play the 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:57.800 next game. 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.200 Three weeks, three cheers for football, hit. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.920 Common sense, he's common again. Finally, that is a huge win. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.720 So Fremantle argued that this wasn't careless, that he didn't. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.240 Breach his duty of care, and the AFEL tribunal agreed tonight, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.440 so he's free to play this weekend and Fremantle were hopeful. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.480 And expected this will be the case. 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.279 My understanding of the situation is that it would have 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.640 acted like a precedent had this been upheld. In the end, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.360 the m RO gave him three weeks and the tribunal 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:25.800 said no, no, that's not worth three weeks. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.279 He can play. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:26.640 Guys. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.560 We mentioned this last week last year when Peter Wright 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.080 got rubbed down for four weeks at Essendon about the 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.400 player coming with the ball. Can we just roll the barress, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.080 I've got Peter right, Let's have a better right. First, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.359 so this is what happened last year. So he's running basically. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.839 The same situation. He gets four weeks and a change. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:45.559 It's a bit different. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.159 Second, the key difference is Peter Wright braced, whereas Alex 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.719 Pearce just ran into the contest and almost exposed himself. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.280 So by doing that, you're exposing yourself to getting cleaned 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.440 up yourself. But rule number one in the lone you 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.840 must protect yourself first. If I protect myself, then you 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.400 protect yourself going for the ball, we're protecting each other. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.440 That's my worry at the moment, as people are getting 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:09.400 left wide open. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.640 Can we roll the bar tom Bress vision. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.440 So this is another situation where Tom Brass in the 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.480 old days would have been flayed for looking like he 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.560 pulled out of the concest. There he realized that all 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.080 he was going to do was give away a front 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.800 on free kick, maybe get reported and covered himself up 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.240 so didn't get hurt. Now, you know, it's amazing that 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.120 that has now become the right thing. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.159 To do, isn't it? It is, and it is certainly 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.160 changed in the way players look at football. Because you 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.680 don't want to hurt someone else. You don't want to 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.320 hurt yourself. You don't want to get suspended. But I 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.440 think that the days of the nick rewot mark flying 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.880 back with the fight of the ball are almost dead 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:42.280 and gone. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.800 Well, there's a way to teach this too, like Baras 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.680 can actually go up there with the right technique. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:47.800 And I know you're big on this too. 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:48.760 There is the hook mark. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.000 Yeah, the hook mark we called a hook mark where 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.880 you can come in from the side in the shape 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.160 of a hook and you jump up with that knee 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.240 right up there to actually protect yourself ed because that's 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.720 your first rules. Need to practice that more so than ever, 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.600 and not just running blindly to a contest. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.039 Fundamentals are still the most important thing when you're teaching 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.680 players how to play football. A lot of players, when 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.760 they go for the ball and do get caught out, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.520 aren't perfecting their fundamentals. Not the not the one there, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.040 but to fundamentals. If you don't do it properly, you'll 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.640 hurt someone, will hurt yourself and get reported. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.880 Okay, but is there no, there's no shame now in 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.040 players going front and the square as opposed. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.680 To it depends what it is, It depends which year 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:25.680 is when he's watching. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:26.760 It's got your head smashed in. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.720 Yeah, probably not the smartest moment of my career, but 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.359 that was what you're taught to do. You could not 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.719 if you go back to the flight of the ball 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.640 in my day for a now day and you pulled out, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.960 you went every TV show you shall be for good. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.400 Well that's what happened though, And of course Robert Wolves 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.440 was the one who really went hard on players and 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.960 Line again ends up losing a kidney two a week 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.240 later after he got stuck to the John player pulling 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.440 out of a contest allegedly. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.400 But you have a look at it, you know. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.480 Lee Matthews talks about he used to be able to 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.160 judge it that if it wasn't quite going to get there, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.120 he'd get under the pair front square. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.280 He put a couple of short steps in. I don't 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.920 mean the bad way shorts you judge it. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.960 Min Juriye did massacre a feeld bravely. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.119 Darcy burn Jones is one of the most courageous players 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.400 that Port has and he just opened himself up and 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:08.440 he'd be regretting. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.880 That much should we have that. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.840 Just as you're into a roundabout intersection, there is a 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.600 rule you got to give one to the right. In 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.600 that situation, should it be the onus on the player 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.960 running with the flight of the ball as opposed to 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.880 player coming at the ball, Who has to give it? 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.480 How do you know if you're if you're ultimately running 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:25.920 with the flight of the ball, the eyes and the ball, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.760 you don't know what's coming into you. I think it's 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.840 very It's much harder to know when you're running with 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.320 the flight of ball than if you're running against the 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.560 flight of the ball and you can see what's in. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:32.760 Front of it. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.040 So in that situation, we are content that both players 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.920 had eyes for the ball and they had a collision. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.679 That is part of the game of football in wet 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.560 conditions where the ball drops a bit shorter, and at 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.560 the end of the day, there was no malice involved, 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.520 and in fact the buzzwords of the day duty of 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.920 care was taken into account by both players. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.240 Clear to player, you're happy with that. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.880 Well, I think why we're so happy with that is 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.920 it goes to show the AFIL is just not stamping 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.160 out the result. You're actually allowed to have a collision 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.760 and it's not what there's Well, it happens. You can 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.960 keep you can keep collisions in the game as long 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:03.440 as they're fair. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.520 Because I know you're ready to go on this one, right, 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.400 We're going to show where the situation had happened with 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.920 Liam Baker who didn't get rubbed out. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.920 You've got serious misconduct. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.920 Sorry, you got misconduct, fine for this, not serious misconduct 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.160 for that. On James Petling, Rory, what are your thoughts 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.880 on that incident and the fact that he didn't miss 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:21.360 a week for that? 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.200 Yeah, well, Lamb's a tough, hard player and clearly his 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.080 frustrations and emotions are boiled over here. But I mean 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.120 James Peteling is not even looking he's defenseless. That's in 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.600 the like in in the back of his neck where 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.120 you can cause some serious damage. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.400 That had to be weak. That is something we in 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:37.640 the game. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.480 If I did that to you on the street, what 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.040 would happen. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.760 There'd be a lot of ramification, You'd be in deep trail. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.920 But I'd be like, I think what we're saying is 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.760 that a football instance that the people are really they're 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.240 rubbed out. They just shouldn't be rubbed out. We understand 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.360 why because concussion, but that sort of instant that should 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.800 be rubbed out, that is not what you want to 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.040 I'll put at least it's at least you can't have 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.720 that to find is not enough. But that's a non 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.480 football incident that should rubbed out. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.320 To put it more simply, that's a choice to make. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.360 Bacon makes a choice to put his elbow in the 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:09.600 back of someone's neck and head. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.920 Where is the pierce one? That's an accident? 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.280 Do you think John Yucam is up? 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.560 He got a ten thousand dollar fine because it's racked 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:18.840 up a few. Do you reckon once you get to 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.920 ten thousand, that's a week? 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.480 I reckon there's yeah, once you finds out up, it's 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:23.719 a week. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.680 And I thought Newgam's one where he grabbed the player 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.360 and lifted him and pile drived it is as much, 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.920 I reckon, that's as dangerous as it actually gets. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.720 Well, the duty of care and tackling now has changed, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.079 I mean players, and we're going to go through it 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.839 a bit later in the show with a coach's corner, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.960 but the duty of Carawan players tackle. You can see 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.120 players have changed the way and they're looking after that. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.080 So we'll do that later. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.520 And you're going to tell us how you now train 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:46.920 what there's four different ways to tackle. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.640 Four different ways to tackle, the ways of tackle to 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.920 prevent with his open players from behind, it's from the side, 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.079 to prevent being rubbed out. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.959 Fascinating stuff. Let's get to that, all right. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.600 President's meeting last night, sayident today today? 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.120 Yes, there's a zoom call today with all eighteen AFL 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.320 club presidents chaired by Andrew Bassett. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:06.160 Has been in the news this. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.280 Week, of course, regarding the Saint Kilda versus Gold Coast 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.160 stout that read its head on the weekend. These are 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.160 the main talking points. Who's the next chair? No commissioner 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.240 wants the role. The presidents believe there is a view 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.400 from Andrew Priddam at Sydney that the next two commissioners 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.680 one should be female and one should be male. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.120 The committee that will. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.880 Select the next chair as well has been decided. It 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.960 includes Andrew Priddam, includes Andrew Bassett, includes Sonya Hood and 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.959 a couple of others as well. The media rights deal 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.480 which is lucrative and what the future holds in that respect. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.760 The softcap lid now the presidents believe that the AFL 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.680 will lift the softcap. Between seven hundred thousand and a 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.240 million dollars remains to be seen whether the club will 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.000 be supportive of that, but that's what they believe. The 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.280 AFL will do. Pass plays is the big one. This 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.600 is a welfare one. There was a view among the 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.640 presidents today that each club that should employ under the 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.240 softcap or otherwise a player or a pass player half 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.320 player to look after players who used to play for 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.200 the club, but not every single club has one in 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.880 order to increase the welfare for players who no longer. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.520 That should have been the soft Cup, because that's not 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.480 for the current players, that's for the past player. That's 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.079 right now, You're right, I love the last one on 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.280 to keep it confidential? Yeah, how does that come? 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.800 To keep it confidential? And I'm sure it's going to 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:22.959 be in the papers tomorrow and. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.120 But I'll give you the chip and footy once three 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:27.320 people know you've got a leak. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.120 If I only tell you, I know that. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.760 You've leaked, Rof tell him as well, then know it 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.600 was him and that's what happens. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.400 So told you I can't tell you. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.600 To talk about the commission all right. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.200 Now, that's this is getting murky there because people are 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.920 actively lobbying behind the scenes to become the next year 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:49.640 of the AFL. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.640 So what's happening Because Richard Goider, there's a lot of 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.080 pressure on him to move on, and it feels like 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:55.040 he's not going to move on. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:55.800 Why is that? 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.400 He wants to stay on. He wants to stay on 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:57.960 for three years. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.960 Yeah, So why is that why? 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.240 Well, he believes he's the right person at the moment 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.240 to be there, and you just saw there that none 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.640 of the commissioners want to tack the jump. So I 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.319 reckon it's time to maybe move on a few commissioners 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:10.720 who have been there too long if they don't have 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.600 any aspirations to move on, if they've got a key position, 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.800 fair enough. But there's some good people. So Jeff Brown 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.240 is being mentioned in dispatches now. It's spoken of Jeff 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.400 and at the moment he doesn't really want to do 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.000 it himself. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:23.640 At various times, I think Jeff. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.280 Has thought about it, but he's going through his myeloma. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.319 He's going really well at the moment, but he has 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.760 dedicated himself to find a cure for mieloma. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.240 He's also gone away later in a year. 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.280 But he's a guy who could walk straight in and 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.680 be the chair, the one who was starting to come 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:41.839 into big calculations is John Wiley from Outside Football, former 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.960 head of the Sports Commission. He was the guy who 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.080 actually was the head of the MCG trustees when they 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.880 built the new Northern Stand. One of the biggest issues 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.640 that we have to get is the right person for 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.839 the jobs that are coming up. So we need somebody 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.600 who understands how the AFL does and participates in the 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.600 building of the mcgbody who knows their way around business. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.280 He's a guy who was born in Queensland and became 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.240 an AFL follower, and of course he's one of the 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.600 Austral's most successful businessmen. So there's two that rock straight. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.959 Pridam's the other one, Andrew Pridham. Now he's got the 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.679 knocks on him because he's well known for thinking that's 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.960 and killed in North Melbourne should be gone. Okay, so 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.320 there's a long way back from there, but you can 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.120 come back from that situation change it. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:23.400 Well. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.440 I'm not saying that. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.640 I'm saying if you're going to But at the same time, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.400 what I think they need to do is I think 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.080 they need to put Peter Gordon onto that commission because 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:36.240 the concussion situation is massive. His acumen and leadership during 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.840 the War Council during COVID was exemplary. So was Andrew 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.120 Pridam's and so a few other people involved in it. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.160 So there's good people around the place. But what the 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.200 AFL has got to do is not just paint the 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.920 Commission by numbers. They have to get serious people in 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.120 because Valand's. Valandis has given us a hiding at the moment, 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.679 and we need to fight back. And you know what 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.280 the problem is. We're not doing that badly, but we're 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.439 not selling the message of it. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.120 That's what I was going to say. The Anthele's doing 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.880 extremely well, but Landy's is getting all the publicity and 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.160 looks like Landy's walking all over the AFL, particularly in 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.800 other states. It's not actually the case. But the Commission, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.280 in my opinion, they have more voice than need to 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.440 be out there telling for what they're doing. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.560 But Herdi, you have a look on the weekend, Caroline 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.520 Wilson wrote a story. Now I can tell you exactly 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.520 where that came, but I won't. I want don't have 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.480 it right, but Michael Warner to anything, Okay, But what's 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.600 what I'm saying is that people in the media are 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.880 being briefed, and they're writing opinion pieces, large opinion pieces, 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.640 which then become the talk on the radio, then become 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.920 the talk on television shows, and people are lining up 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.080 Richard Goid at the moment. And there was another big 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.440 expose in the Australian where pretty just came out in 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.400 about the concussion situation. So it's happening everywhere at the moment, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.000 and we'll. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:48.560 Keep talking about it. 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.400 Discussion on decision has to be made. I think they 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:52.960 need to move. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.320 You know, they've been talking about filling up this commission god. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.360 Knows how long now you or not seriously because your 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.800 name gets battered around, which is something you want to do? 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.080 I'd do anything for footy, would. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.920 You if something? Do you want to be on the commission? 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:08.000 No? 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.160 I think probably I'd be better off at the moment 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.360 actually helping just do what I do, help with ideas 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.840 and things like that. If I was offered a position 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.120 on the commission here, of course I'm taken. I probably wouldn't, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:19.480 but I don't know if it fits in with what 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.960 I do. But what I'm saying is that I think 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.960 there are people out there. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:24.920 Not just for the chair. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.760 It needs to not become a single issue Senate, and 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.360 that's where the Commission is looking a lot like at 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.240 the moment. There's big issues and I've got to get 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.440 to them, one of which is the drug issues. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.280 And we'll get to that a little bit later in Footy. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.960 Classified as we come off the top rope on that, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.080 because that could well decide whether there's a revolution in 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:52.520 this game that's going out next Welcome back to Footy Classified. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.080 As we said, there's a lot of good things happening 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.200 in football and Tom, you are there today for an 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.040 announcement I wanted as a ripper for past players and 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.360
