Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to footy classified so much to
Speaker 1: get to tonight sin Kilda, Melbourne, Essenon and Carlton All
Speaker 1: on the agenda and a Caltoony exclusive on the Sydney Swans,
Speaker 1: plus rising tension between Channel seven and Fox Footye Let's
Speaker 1: welcome in the panel. Five time all Australian James heard,
Speaker 1: Welcome to you, Tom, great to be here, Thank you,
Speaker 1: and Matthew Nicks out two time Adelaide Besson Feris Rory
Speaker 1: slain in Goode slone.
Speaker 2: Much more hair from there, Tom So great to be
Speaker 2: back and.
Speaker 1: Leading AFL dot commentator You journalist, Caltoony, Hello again.
Speaker 3: To you, Hello guys, good to be back.
Speaker 2: Tom.
Speaker 3: Let's start with the Saints because they've lost eight out
Speaker 3: of their last ten games and there's more change on
Speaker 3: the horizon. What can you tell us tonight?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's some stage. So what I can tell you
Speaker 1: tonight is that Sint Kilda has unofficially earmarked AFL Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame a geelong great Corey Enwright to succeed Ross
Speaker 1: Line whenever it is that Rosslyne decides his time is up.
Speaker 1: Now he's contracted to the end of twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Ross there's no suggestion at all that he's ready to
Speaker 1: step away anytime soon. But players, football department, staff, and
Speaker 1: I'm told even Rosslin himself believe that he is the
Speaker 1: person to take over whenever that time comes.
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty seven is not too far away. Is it
Speaker 4: a Josh Carr like handover? Is it that formal or
Speaker 4: are you saying.
Speaker 1: It's informal at the moment. I mean, I think when
Speaker 1: Corey Enwright came into the club he was an assistant coach.
Speaker 1: Robert Harvey was probably the one that would take over
Speaker 1: from ross if and when that happened. But in the
Speaker 1: last twelve months, Corey Enwright's been elevated to two IC.
Speaker 1: He's now the game plan and strategy boss behind ross Line,
Speaker 1: and they rate him so highly. I think the only
Speaker 1: thing that stops this, to be honest, cal is that
Speaker 1: Chris Scott departs Gelong and then Gelong sweep on Corey Enwright.
Speaker 3: How highly rated is he internally alongst the player?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so highly rated. I haven't heard a bad word
Speaker 1: about Corey Enwright. We talk about Adam Simpson, we talk
Speaker 1: about Nathan Buckley, we talk about John Longmi. But I
Speaker 1: believe if Corey Enwright is the best assistant coach out
Speaker 1: there that hasn't been dry.
Speaker 2: Would other club's been looking at him then too, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they would. I think he's next in line.
Speaker 1: And we haven't spoken about him much because he's been
Speaker 1: at sin Kilda not that much success, but Ross Lyin
Speaker 1: loves him and everyone at the club believes that he
Speaker 1: will be the person to take over from ross eventually.
Speaker 4: But if you're speaking as highly of them as you are,
Speaker 4: and people around the traps are speaking that highly of them,
Speaker 4: surely if there's a coach that comes at a club
Speaker 4: that comes out of a coach this year, he could go.
Speaker 5: I mean, he can go anywhere. Conny, he's not tired.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the issue, and that's what happened cal with
Speaker 1: Sam Mitchell and Collingwood, and that's what forced the Hawk's
Speaker 1: hand in the first place. And what we do now
Speaker 1: about Saint Kilda is that there's been lots of changes
Speaker 1: since Ross Lyne took over, and an unbelievablemount of changes.
Speaker 1: This is his club in every sense of the word.
Speaker 1: He started with a mandate that he would be Ross
Speaker 1: the boss in more ways than one, and look at
Speaker 1: some of these names that have come in, but also
Speaker 1: some have come out in a matter of just over
Speaker 1: two years really. And what I can tell you tonight
Speaker 1: as well is that Tim Barber, the longtime doctor at
Speaker 1: Saint Kilda, has informed the club that he'll be leaving
Speaker 1: at the end of the season as well. He's down
Speaker 1: the bottom there. So this is a club entirely in
Speaker 1: Ross's image and if it succeeds, it'll be unbelievable. If
Speaker 1: it fails, it will be entirely on Ross. And I
Speaker 1: think everyone's comfortable with that.
Speaker 4: But he's done that ever is gone. I mean the
Speaker 4: first Secuity iteration, that was the way he did it.
Speaker 4: The Freemantle iteration, that's the way he did it. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's Ross's way. If you don't like it, get out
Speaker 4: of the way. If you do like it, stay But
Speaker 4: I just think that that if you're going to employ
Speaker 4: Ross line, that's what you have to put up with.
Speaker 4: We'll I'll put up with. That's what you have to
Speaker 4: accept and want. And for me, that's what the president
Speaker 4: and the Committee of the Board have wanted, and good
Speaker 4: on Ross are putting.
Speaker 2: They're all on board. That's too much change. Caw that's
Speaker 2: so much change here. I don't know how one man
Speaker 2: can have that much impact and still focus on doing
Speaker 2: his role as a senior coach whilst undergoing all that change.
Speaker 3: Well, he is doing his role as a senior coach,
Speaker 3: and part of that role as well is in the
Speaker 3: list management side of things too, which is really really
Speaker 3: integral in in keeping players, their hopeful retention of from
Speaker 3: the Ziwang And and Miller and the hopeful attraction of players
Speaker 3: as well. And Tom de Caning. Tom d Coning now
Speaker 3: is at a point where he wants to know where
Speaker 3: Zawang And and Miller is going to be playing his foot
Speaker 3: in next year, and ross Line is a big part
Speaker 3: of that process as well.
Speaker 4: Why don't you think that's appropriate? I mean, if you're
Speaker 4: SEENI your coach, you're worried about whether this person's backing you.
Speaker 4: Everyone's got to be on board going in the same direction.
Speaker 4: I realize you've got to people who challenge you, but
Speaker 4: don't you want to send your coach people who believe
Speaker 4: in you along alongside you.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but you need people in those positions to manage staff.
Speaker 2: I believe man, and you need to see your coach.
Speaker 2: You've SENIORR coach. He's got so many players to deal
Speaker 2: with and football staff in that manner that that's where
Speaker 2: your sole focus needs to be as a coach. Otherwise
Speaker 2: I think you can get.
Speaker 4: His focus can still be on that, but just put
Speaker 4: people in and do the other roles that he trusts.
Speaker 2: Did you like have a big influence in that sort
Speaker 2: of No, No, I didn't, But I was a second
Speaker 2: year coach.
Speaker 4: This is a guy who's been what this is a
Speaker 4: fifteen sixteen year and then he's been there a long time.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong, but if
Speaker 4: I was rosscoing mate Securita, I would want a lot
Speaker 4: of autonomy to do things the way I want it,
Speaker 4: and people to support you. Because the worst thing as
Speaker 4: coach is people around you that you're wondering in my
Speaker 4: being backstabed, do they not support me?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what looks like he's got at the moment.
Speaker 2: He looks like he's got a group that supports him
Speaker 2: clearly if they've got a clear plan around this till
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4: And it'll be judged in hindsight whether they succeed or
Speaker 4: where they fail.
Speaker 1: I think it'll come with that as well. So Carl
Speaker 1: Delenda's on the same page as Andrew Bassett, who's on
Speaker 1: the same page as Ross Lyne. Jack Steal's the captain
Speaker 1: cow what's his future at the club? Giving his contractor
Speaker 1: for another couple of years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he signed a five year deal at the
Speaker 3: end of one of his best seasons the end of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. That was when he was a back
Speaker 3: to back All Australian Jull bestman Ferris. Since then we've
Speaker 3: seen the accolades drop away. Now what I can say
Speaker 3: is that despite the contract, clubs are considering trade approaches
Speaker 3: for him now. A lot of water has to go
Speaker 3: on to the bridge before he leaves the footy club
Speaker 3: as a captain. It takes a big deal to happen.
Speaker 3: But on the midfield market, he's a name that has
Speaker 3: been mentioned amongst clubs and as a twenty nine year old,
Speaker 3: can someone bring him in to.
Speaker 1: Play a role straight away out of their midfield and
Speaker 1: he is a reluctant captain. Jack Steele as well, he
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily love the role he's in it because he
Speaker 1: feels like he owes the club because they voted him in.
Speaker 1: But it's not a role that comes naturally to a either.
Speaker 1: So that's a watch next year, of course, if he's
Speaker 1: still at the Saints. As you mentioned, you've break a
Speaker 1: big story last week around what the Saints are doing
Speaker 1: in regards to the AFL and the academy is what
Speaker 1: can you tell us tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, they're leading the.
Speaker 3: Charge on this crusade, aren't they. And these are some
Speaker 3: of the recommendations that they put to the AFL Commission
Speaker 3: because they want the abolition off the Northern Academy zones
Speaker 3: ahead of the twenty twenty five draft. They know that's
Speaker 3: not going to happen this year, but it's a bit
Speaker 3: of an amber claim to get some of the other
Speaker 3: factors put through. I think part of that is to
Speaker 3: tighten up the screws on some of the loopholes that
Speaker 3: are coming through the Northern Academy and also the NNGA system.
Speaker 3: But they are really really strong on this front, and
Speaker 3: they're trying to lead the charge.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: They're out there by themselves on this one publicly. Privately,
Speaker 3: there are some support for it. I just don't think
Speaker 3: that going for the throat of the Northern Academies is
Speaker 3: going to get anywhere in the way of the AFL.
Speaker 4: Can we just put that back up for a minute,
Speaker 4: because what I don't understand is the first line of
Speaker 4: the second line. So they're up to the abolition of
Speaker 4: the Northern academies, but the inclusive Coeens and this one
Speaker 4: in the redistribution of NBA zones. What's the that's a
Speaker 4: subtle difference or is it a big difference?
Speaker 3: A big difference because the NBA zones is part of
Speaker 3: a review that's happening at the moment from the AFL.
Speaker 3: NNGA gives club's access to multicultural and indigenous players, the
Speaker 3: Northern academies for the Giants, the Suns, the Swans, and
Speaker 3: the line is anyone in their region that they've developed
Speaker 3: and been a part of their academy. So a big
Speaker 3: difference in terms of the access to their players. And
Speaker 3: they want them to just have an MGA zone like
Speaker 3: every other club.
Speaker 5: I think I don't think that's the right move.
Speaker 4: I think having New South Wells players playing in New
Speaker 4: south Wells clubs and Queensland players playing Queensland clubs is
Speaker 4: essential to the growth of the game and it broadens
Speaker 4: the pool the kids we're talking about in let's say
Speaker 4: the gold Coast Signs Academy wouldn't have played AFL twenty
Speaker 4: years ago. They're a new addition to the talent pool,
Speaker 4: which I think is essential and also gives young kids
Speaker 4: looking at the Gold Coast Signs of the Brisbane Lines,
Speaker 4: it gives them aspirations to say I want to play
Speaker 4: for that club because I can look look at the draft.
Speaker 1: Pick eighteen becomes pick thirty, Pick five becomes pick fifteen.
Speaker 1: Is that an issue Slainy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's not. Equalization is what we want, a
Speaker 2: fair and equal competition. At the moment we're not getting it.
Speaker 2: I completely agree.
Speaker 4: With a players we do, Yes, you wouldn't have those
Speaker 4: players in that pool potentially.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But how do we make it? How do we
Speaker 2: make it easier for Victorian clubs to get in the
Speaker 2: most as well? Because it's and I'm talking about other states.
Speaker 5: Just get their mothers overseas.
Speaker 2: That's a chat for another day.
Speaker 3: Point is the point that their picks that are getting
Speaker 3: pushed back and back and back in a time when
Speaker 3: they're trying to rebuild.
Speaker 2: Will this have more traction if Collingwood was leading the
Speaker 2: charge on this or a top four side. Is this
Speaker 2: falling down the sort of taking order because killed are
Speaker 2: up winning.
Speaker 3: And some clubs have these views but they're not going
Speaker 3: to share it. If Colin would have this view, well
Speaker 3: they've got Nick Dakos and got a premiership out of him,
Speaker 3: so they're in different biases all over the place.
Speaker 1: And watch your view on the part.
Speaker 2: I was just about to touch on that too, because
Speaker 2: I agree that that should be demolished, abolish. Yes, it's
Speaker 2: really I get what fans love.
Speaker 4: It, not fans, but football people love it. I mean
Speaker 4: gives it gives the lineage of people to play at
Speaker 4: the same club.
Speaker 2: But on history as well, Yeah, I get that because
Speaker 2: because you get that.
Speaker 4: For the for the Victorian clubs and then you get
Speaker 4: the news of last Queensland clubs having a different rule.
Speaker 5: It all bun s A and.
Speaker 2: W A in there too, which we can't forget about.
Speaker 2: But then touchy point. But no, I'm just like I'm
Speaker 2: big on like there's enough stresses at the moment in football.
Speaker 2: Then you add added stress of the father son coming in.
Speaker 4: And other sons. Now what kind of like crows you've got.
Speaker 2: We've got a few coming in. But I'm just saying
Speaker 2: that's another added stress. I've seen guys come in and
Speaker 2: that hasn't fit them. And I know my kids are
Speaker 2: coming through. I don't want them to follow my footsteps
Speaker 2: on to find their own.
Speaker 3: PI are pretty good Crow supporters.
Speaker 1: That's not what they want at all. Have we got
Speaker 1: to move on now because today the AFL confirmed that
Speaker 1: it has repurchased Waverly Park. I understand it's a some
Speaker 1: between ten and fifteen million dollars, which is far less
Speaker 1: than what the developers wanted and what Hawthorne wanted. Nevertheless,
Speaker 1: the Hawks will move out of that and they'll move
Speaker 1: to Dingley and the AFL will move back in and
Speaker 1: they'll use this premises for aflw and umpires and various
Speaker 1: other means cal This has been a topic for some
Speaker 1: time now. What does it mean from Melbourne Football Club?
Speaker 1: If anything, this will.
Speaker 3: Re push the surge to get them back as Waverley
Speaker 3: as their home base so their home training administration center.
Speaker 3: These decisions from their point of view is that they're
Speaker 3: not even considering looking at Waverley as their new training
Speaker 3: in administration.
Speaker 5: I would they be considering wavel Well.
Speaker 3: They are fully focused and we'll get to the statement
Speaker 3: from Melbourn Footy Club in a second, they're fully focused
Speaker 3: on their Coreford Racecourse option and on the option England
Speaker 3: Huntley in that region. We look at some of their
Speaker 3: words that I spoke to the footage club then progressing
Speaker 3: plans and new t and a facility that better supports
Speaker 3: our player's staff and the wider community. Club has been
Speaker 3: working on a suitable location in the Coreforld Racecourse reserve.
Speaker 3: We have in productive discussions with stakeholders around that.
Speaker 4: How far away realistically is their move to core Field.
Speaker 4: It has to be eight to ten years. So for
Speaker 4: the next eight to ten years they're going to be
Speaker 4: based at Amy Park at Gosh's Paddock rather than go
Speaker 4: to a facility. And I know that's the second hand
Speaker 4: Hawthorn facility. I think that's the issue. They don't want
Speaker 4: to be well, they're taking out of a second hand
Speaker 4: calling facility at the moment.
Speaker 2: Well at the moment in there in Collingwood's Poolhouse, aren't
Speaker 2: they so Well.
Speaker 1: They've got two different facilities at the moment. They don't
Speaker 1: want Hawthorne scraps. They believe they can redevelop core Field,
Speaker 1: but part quicker than that.
Speaker 4: Well, even as five years it's been the next five
Speaker 4: years that just doesn't make a lot of.
Speaker 5: Sense to me.
Speaker 1: One thing that doesn't make a lot of sense either
Speaker 1: is when there's a clash of dates, and this is
Speaker 1: something that we haven't seen before. On August twenty eight,
Speaker 1: the AFL and Fox Footy have locked in the All
Speaker 1: Australian Awards Night. On the same date, August twenty eight,
Speaker 1: Channel seven and Sen scheduled to broadcast and host this
Speaker 1: year's Legends Match, which was formerly the EJ. Witten Legends Game.
Speaker 1: This is a clash because it pits Channel seven to
Speaker 1: one broadcaster against Fox Footy the other broadcaster. You have
Speaker 1: a charity match with lots of viewers and lots of
Speaker 1: entertainment on one channel and you have a AFL lavish
Speaker 1: gala on the other. Also, and the reason that it
Speaker 1: can't be on the Wednesday is because that will be
Speaker 1: the night the Gold Coast play Essendon and they've got
Speaker 1: AFLW on the Friday. So that's certainly one to watch
Speaker 1: and it's building tension behind the scenes and it also
Speaker 1: might have an impact on the Rising Star Award.
Speaker 3: Cow Well will have an impact on the Rising Star
Speaker 3: Award because of course there's a potential of a nomination
Speaker 3: coming out of that final game of the last round.
Speaker 3: So the AFL has told clubs tonight that the Rising
Speaker 3: Star winner for the first time will be announced on
Speaker 3: Brownlow Metal Night, which is going to be a really
Speaker 3: good moment. But the logistically this has been made the
Speaker 3: shuffle because in case a nominee comes out of that
Speaker 3: last game, in case there's an m ROS issue as well.
Speaker 3: We know eligibility is an issue as part of the
Speaker 3: m RO situation and the Rising Star nomination. So really
Speaker 3: looking forward to seeing this happened on Brownay Knight. In
Speaker 3: the past, up until twenty nineteen, the Telsha Rising Style
Speaker 3: had its own function, its own event, really prestigious day.
Speaker 3: Now it'll get that moment on Brownloe met All Night.
Speaker 2: Who's your tip?
Speaker 3: I'm a Murphy Reid or Harvey Langford fan.
Speaker 4: So what would you rather watch the Legends game or
Speaker 4: the All Australian on TV?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: Are you playing in the Legends game?
Speaker 1: I'd rather watch it?
Speaker 4: I have, but I had a hip replacement of a
Speaker 4: year ago text Bess said would you like to come
Speaker 4: play as that?
Speaker 5: Unfortunately I'm barely get out.
Speaker 2: Of bed sound Yeah I got an invite, but I
Speaker 2: can't play. Is it no good anymore, So.
Speaker 4: What would you rather watch on? Seriously, what's more appealing
Speaker 4: to you rather?
Speaker 2: Th not I I'm just gonna sit on the fence. You'd
Speaker 2: rather I'm not on the same night because I really
Speaker 2: enjoyed both of us. But they're going to bend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to be on the same night and
Speaker 1: it's just another little battle behind the scenes between the
Speaker 1: two hosts. Broadcasters at AFL h Q Channel seven and
Speaker 1: also Fox Footy All right, stay with us on Footy Classified.
Speaker 1: Coaching moves are plenty after the break, that man Michael
Speaker 1: Voss is under the pump, the Blues are in the
Speaker 1: spotlight and Cal Toomey with some exclusive news around the
Speaker 1: Sydney Swans coaching panel. Stay with us, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Footy Classified. Carlton is the most talked about football club
Speaker 1: in the country and now it's out turn on Tuesday
Speaker 1: night Footy Classified to dive in to where they go
Speaker 1: from here. Herdy, If you are coaching Carlton right now,
Speaker 1: what would you say to Nick Austin, their list manager
Speaker 1: about your number one.
Speaker 5: Need you need ball user?
Speaker 4: You need good ball users and speed and running capability,
Speaker 4: the rumors or what I get to told out of
Speaker 4: Carlton is the capability of that runners, their power, runners,
Speaker 4: ability to run, his speed continues throughout the game, or
Speaker 4: it is just not there. They've got really good inside
Speaker 4: me as everyone can see, but they don't have the
Speaker 4: cake bill on the outside. So go and find good
Speaker 4: ball users who can run and spread and get outside
Speaker 4: the contest, because if you can combine that inside contest
Speaker 4: with outside, you have a very good football team. You
Speaker 4: get into Charlie and Harry and it's going to be
Speaker 4: a different story.
Speaker 2: Well, it looks like a different team when they get
Speaker 2: in there quick, don't they. But they did say on
Speaker 2: the weekend that they just can't sustain it for long enough.
Speaker 2: And that's probably the issue at the moment.
Speaker 3: So just on Charlie and Harry, do you move on?
Speaker 3: Would you be open to moving one of those guys?
Speaker 4: Look, I would be if you can get if you
Speaker 4: can get quality players on the outside with ball in
Speaker 4: hand and look, and I think probably unfortunately for Harry's
Speaker 4: probably the second tier to Charlie. But you've got to
Speaker 4: give something to get something. But you can't keep going
Speaker 4: with the same as what you've got. I know, who've
Speaker 4: got young players coming in. But I think if you're
Speaker 4: on an immediate impact, you've be able to look for
Speaker 4: that speed and balls on the outside.
Speaker 2: There's always a reluctance to get rid of a big name,
Speaker 2: but sometimes we'll show some players here have been moved
Speaker 2: off in previous years. I mean, we've got guys like
Speaker 2: Dangerfield to Geelong, didn't buy the Adelaide for those next
Speaker 2: couple of years, locking you at Freo Kelly to where Coast,
Speaker 2: you've got Cameron Tralaw, Grundy, Dunky Terreto.
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to trade a big name.
Speaker 2: Don't be afraid to trade a big name, because all
Speaker 2: those clubs are absolutely fine those coming years after all.
Speaker 4: Jeremy Camera Wan I wouldn't quite agree with that. They
Speaker 4: were fine, but Gey, big hole, big hole massively. You'd
Speaker 4: rather keep them, of course, But yeah, played the grand
Speaker 4: files is Jeremy Camera. That's true, that's true.
Speaker 1: But they're still competing. Hey, cal what's the mechanics of
Speaker 1: their list rebuild? How quickly do you think they can
Speaker 1: pivot based on who they want?
Speaker 3: Well, they've got two options here, don't they? Until revolving
Speaker 3: around Tom Zicconi. The lose option, which is the favorite
Speaker 3: option at the moment is they would gain a first
Speaker 3: round compensation pick that that comes after whether the first
Speaker 3: pick would be. Of course, they traded that pick out
Speaker 3: last year to go and get Jago Smith. That'd be
Speaker 3: pick ten. So what do you go and do with
Speaker 3: pick ten?
Speaker 5: Guys?
Speaker 3: Do you go and chase Miles Bergman that's an option
Speaker 3: for them is twenty four year old port Adelaide. The
Speaker 3: inclination at this point is that he's coming home. That's
Speaker 3: the sense from Victorian clubs, and you also potentially save
Speaker 3: a little bit of cash there. But then you also
Speaker 3: have to worry about what's coming through from a draft perspective.
Speaker 3: So they've got a father done this year, Harry Dane,
Speaker 3: the son of Peter dean premiership player from thirty years ago.
Speaker 3: He's a quick, tall key defender. And then you plan
Speaker 3: ahead as well because Cody Walker at the end of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six this feels like a long way away,
Speaker 3: but if he was in this year's draft, I think
Speaker 3: he'd be a top five pick. Neil nearly so, the
Speaker 3: son of Andrew Walker. So they have to get moving,
Speaker 3: but it can flip quickly. I'm just worried about their
Speaker 3: depth as a yea.
Speaker 1: So fundamentally they have to work out whether this era
Speaker 1: is still retrievable or if this era is over and
Speaker 1: they can start again, and how quickly they can reset.
Speaker 3: And how do you do that to find the picks too,
Speaker 3: because we mentioned about Sam Walsh as well, like this
Speaker 3: is a guy who's a free agent next year, has
Speaker 3: big interest already club's interested in trying to rip him
Speaker 3: out of there. I don't think they opened the door
Speaker 3: to that this time around, but who knows. If you
Speaker 3: offer up a couple go and he tach your speed
Speaker 3: and ball use anyway.
Speaker 5: Absolutely does.
Speaker 4: But this era is definitely invalable, and they've got two
Speaker 4: quality players a lot right the contest the defense. If
Speaker 4: you can put some a couple of two good ball
Speaker 4: users around that team, they have to find though this
Speaker 4: just identified one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this era is reaching an end now, like
Speaker 1: they can't continue to try the same things. They have
Speaker 1: to be bold at the draft table, the trade tape.
Speaker 4: I agree, but the era can keep going if you'd
Speaker 4: put a couple of good ball users speed around the capability.
Speaker 4: It's such a fine line. You put two good ball
Speaker 4: users in there. That changed the whole look at the
Speaker 4: Couple Football Club because you're not turning the ball over
Speaker 4: as much, you're retaining the ball. It's I don't think
Speaker 4: it's as faraway as everyone thinks it is, as long
Speaker 4: as you can get speed and ball use around those boys.
Speaker 1: It's a big nine weeks coming up, as it is
Speaker 1: for the Sydney Swans as well. Dean Cox as their coach.
Speaker 1: We know they've had a skeleton staff for much of
Speaker 1: the season because of John long Ni's late departure cal
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about their future plans?
Speaker 3: So you have heard of skeleton stuff. They didn't replace
Speaker 3: Stean Cox himself. He went from the senior assistant coach
Speaker 3: up into the head role of course, so they didn't
Speaker 3: replace him. They didn't replace the role of Joe McVeigh
Speaker 3: as well from the assistant coaching panel, who went down
Speaker 3: to the VFL coaching role. So my understanding is they're
Speaker 3: very much on the hunt for assistant coaches at the
Speaker 3: end of the season to add to their group. One
Speaker 3: of the names that they are looking at is Luke Shoey,
Speaker 3: who's a former teammate of course. Yes, that's the man,
Speaker 3: the enormously with medalist from the Eagles or the teammate
Speaker 3: of Dean Cox's at the West Coast Eagles Footall Club.
Speaker 3: Now he's a midfield and stoppage coach at the Eagles
Speaker 3: line up there under Andrew mcqualter. He's considering it and
Speaker 3: whether he'd make the move, and I think he'd be
Speaker 3: a good choice for them to bring across.
Speaker 4: And you've got room for more than just one. If
Speaker 4: the soft CAP's going up by a considerable amount, you're
Speaker 4: down one. You could actually bring in two good coaches,
Speaker 4: whether it'd be senior assistant, whether it be more development coaches,
Speaker 4: because development coaches nowadays they're so important, but you could
Speaker 4: with a young list.
Speaker 1: Sony, how much do you think John Lomeier's departure as
Speaker 1: late as it was affected the football department at the
Speaker 1: Swans and by extension of the players. It feels like
Speaker 1: they were caught on the hop a bit, which is
Speaker 1: why they're a coach short.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I think we're seeing what Cox and we've
Speaker 2: spoken about this Herdy, what Cox He's been trying to
Speaker 2: do for the first half the year. It does take
Speaker 2: time to change. I cannot wait to see Sidney off
Speaker 2: the back of the hot solid preseason with just a
Speaker 2: solid foundation of work behind them with no change, and
Speaker 2: they will come into next year with and we've spoken
Speaker 2: about their contest and pressure I have on Sunday. We're
Speaker 2: going to speak about it later. But once getting that
Speaker 2: up and go and they're back to that bloods like culture,
Speaker 2: they'll be back.
Speaker 4: So you think they can rebound quickly. Absolutely, even in
Speaker 4: the second half of the year. I think they'll be
Speaker 4: a better team. With Guild and pappily coming back and
Speaker 4: Mills back into some form, you'll see them as a
Speaker 4: better team and they'll be hard to beat, particularly up
Speaker 4: and Sitney in the second half.
Speaker 1: Of all the big name free agents, Sam Draper's right
Speaker 1: towards the very top of that list. Cow he's not
Speaker 1: playing again for the rest of the year. Where do
Speaker 1: you think is going to be playing in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: Well, Essendon has a four year offer on the table
Speaker 3: for him. My understanding is that's opened the door that
Speaker 3: offer and it's not quite at the level that he expected,
Speaker 3: and it's opened the door for the Adelaide and Brisbane
Speaker 3: interest and offers to be more higher level to maybe
Speaker 3: tempt him to move more than he probably thought at
Speaker 3: the start of the season. I think at the start
Speaker 3: of the year, Sam Draper was set on staying at
Speaker 3: Essenate he got injured, He's had time to think about it,
Speaker 3: the offers come through. In saying all of that, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure it's the worst thing for Essendon if he
Speaker 3: did move and they were able to add to their draft.
Speaker 2: Now, what is that? What's he looking for?
Speaker 4: Well, look, I know he's very popular player amongst the
Speaker 4: senior players, and I think they want him there. But
Speaker 4: the picks they have in cal you go through those picks.
Speaker 3: Well, pick five is tied to Melbourne as part of
Speaker 3: that deal they did last year with the trade back.
Speaker 3: Pick six is their own since killed at twenty two
Speaker 3: twenty four. If Droper left it either be a first
Speaker 3: round conversation or potentially an end of first round conversation.
Speaker 3: That's a big difference. If it was first round, it'd
Speaker 3: be pick seven. End of first round, it probably blows
Speaker 3: out to mid twenty.
Speaker 4: So what's the number? What was the Rory's point? What
Speaker 4: does that number have to be to get in there?
Speaker 4: You have to hit the nines. That's to be a
Speaker 4: nine hundred thousand dollars and what for this? And you
Speaker 4: think I minds standing to be around the sevens okay
Speaker 4: seven because because I've heard the same thing that he's
Speaker 4: that it's a low ball Offeric on what he was expecting.
Speaker 5: But also the Brisbane and Adelaide are.
Speaker 1: Very they low balling him on purpose though, because they
Speaker 1: don't mind him leaving for that reason. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the question. We don't know.
Speaker 2: I think history and Sholie she can't overpay a ruckman, right.
Speaker 2: We're seeing a couple of backfires and got something against rum.
Speaker 2: I love ruppling more than anyone Sam Jaco.
Speaker 1: That's the Colin with Darcy Cameron discussion at the moment
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: Now Absolutely and Essendon have nearly twenty players out of contract.
Speaker 3: One of them is a Lijas artist, a large started
Speaker 3: state of contract next year. Ben Hobbs out of contract
Speaker 3: this year. What would you do with those two?
Speaker 4: I think you've got to play both of those at
Speaker 4: the moment. I think, but you know you've you've got
Speaker 4: to find out about Statist You've got to give him
Speaker 4: games in the midfield, and the Hobbs you got to
Speaker 4: play him inside. I think Hobbs is getting games. He's
Speaker 4: playing as a halfward coming in too thetoppage you're playing there,
Speaker 4: give them a go, are in and around the contest
Speaker 4: for the next eight or nine weeks and see if
Speaker 4: they're the sort of players you want. If they're not,
Speaker 4: then you put them on the table. But I don't
Speaker 4: think you really know enough about them.
Speaker 1: Yet, Rory. We haven't spoken much since the Wanganeen Miller
Speaker 1: story broke a couple of weeks ago, regarding his future
Speaker 1: and what we now know what he didn't say to
Speaker 1: people around him around text Walker. These were flatly denied
Speaker 1: from all parties, including Wanganeen Miller himself, who has Calu
Speaker 1: reported called text Walker allegations of dirty tactics from rival clubs.
Speaker 1: It's probably not a new thing, but how widespread.
Speaker 5: Do you think it is?
Speaker 2: I can't speak exactly for this situation, but situations in
Speaker 2: the past. I know for a fact that a couple
Speaker 2: of players who've come to our club and express what
Speaker 2: other clubs have said to them around our footy club,
Speaker 2: and they're displeasure towards our club, or just how it's
Speaker 2: been operator than run and spoken poorly about.
Speaker 5: Does it make you feel it must make it.
Speaker 2: Never or something like that was just we just always
Speaker 2: saw it as a dirty tactic, and it's a couple.
Speaker 1: Of times there's one thing to speak neededly about your
Speaker 1: football club, there's another thing to make up lies about
Speaker 1: you football club.
Speaker 2: What are you suggesting here, Well, I'm just saying I
Speaker 2: just don't think these tactics should exist anymore. And it's
Speaker 2: happened to points where I know that at least two
Speaker 2: players in the past have gone, well, that's just a
Speaker 2: big black line through that club. We're not going to
Speaker 2: go there. If that's how they're going to operate. Why
Speaker 2: I wouldn want to be part of that club. So
Speaker 2: the tactic doesn't work for everyone. It maybe has in
Speaker 2: the past for some, but it's not there for everyone.
Speaker 3: Is this part of the course you've been in pitches
Speaker 3: to players?
Speaker 4: I don't know, not necessarily. I mean, I remember when
Speaker 4: Chris Judd was came and interview to us and interviewed
Speaker 4: Carton and everyone thought he was going to Cartland. We saw,
Speaker 4: don't go to Carton, they're no good. But you know,
Speaker 4: in a joking way. It wasn't really that serious. But
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen that before.
Speaker 1: Interesting, it's a really interesting point in something that we'll
Speaker 1: talk about as the year progresses. I'm sure heard it.
Speaker 1: Your up next with slowly on the coach's corner. Stay
Speaker 1: with us on futy furnace, pretty classified, want to come
Speaker 1: putty firniss On Sunday.
Speaker 6: Marcus Spontane, Pelly yours the night's help in tune to
Speaker 6: pick up see.
Speaker 1: This kid's gotta be kid bott.
Speaker 2: And Pelly found the world bat.
Speaker 1: That's not that we don't come to say the pots.
Speaker 5: Fifty wonder.
Speaker 2: Against you know, of course I said expected Pelly no
Speaker 2: one between the.
Speaker 5: Head and.
Speaker 2: Not to hit the front, to hit the front, the
Speaker 2: doctor in front. Every single one of you voted for
Speaker 2: the relay. Marcus Chaptain Club.
Speaker 1: Bretain surely not suing.
Speaker 3: Here's the third the trip from the bomb.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 1: What a champion Marcus Bondapelli already is. And he's got
Speaker 1: so much football still left in him. Game two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty on Friday night against the Sydney Swans, which
Speaker 1: is the subject of Coaches Corner with ry Sline and
Speaker 1: James hr take it away boys, Yes, thank you Tom.
Speaker 4: We have the Sydney Swans playing the Western Wardogs at
Speaker 4: the SCG Saturday night, and what a game is going
Speaker 4: to be. We have two champions playing together, Marcus Bondapelli
Speaker 4: and Sam Darcy playing alongside it. It's a pleasure to
Speaker 4: watch these two play. We're going to focus on Sam
Speaker 4: see first of all, Rory his marking ability. He is
Speaker 4: unstoppable at the moment, isn't he.
Speaker 2: He's ridiculous, So I don't think we've seen a player
Speaker 2: like it in recent times. He's just his reach he's
Speaker 2: got is enormous. He bullies players at the moment and
Speaker 2: he makes people look silly. But no one can No
Speaker 2: one has that reach. I don't know if anyone in
Speaker 2: the past had had that similar reach.
Speaker 4: We're going to talk about how we think you can
Speaker 4: stop him in a little bit, But you can't stop
Speaker 4: Sam Darcy if you've got the cover of the delivery
Speaker 4: that he is getting at the moment from Ed Richards
Speaker 4: Bailey Dale and Marcus Bondipelli streaming out of stop, He's
Speaker 4: streaming out of contest, hitting him lace out, it's almost
Speaker 4: impossible to stop.
Speaker 2: Well, the dogs are so good with their hands. They
Speaker 2: get these we call it shoulders out looks all the time. Right,
Speaker 2: This is why he need pressure around the dogs. But
Speaker 2: that is just a phenomenal kick and it's one of
Speaker 2: the bulldogs absolute strength at the moment. They're midfield and
Speaker 2: they're delivery to their forward line.
Speaker 4: If you give bond to Pelli twenty seconds running out
Speaker 4: of stoppage, he watched Riley West just wheeled around and
Speaker 4: just hit him on the outside. I think what the
Speaker 4: Sydney have to do is what Collingwood did to the Bulldogs.
Speaker 4: They really put pressure on the contest and stop these
Speaker 4: kick outs. Se Edwrich is kicking out here. We're going
Speaker 4: to slow this down and have a look at if
Speaker 4: you just pause here that ball, if that lands here,
Speaker 4: Sam Dars is impossible to stop. But the ball by
Speaker 4: going high Rory because of the pressure, gives Darcy Moore
Speaker 4: a little bit of a chance to use his bodies
Speaker 4: and get him off the line, get his hips off
Speaker 4: the line. And this again pressure by Collingwood gives Darcy
Speaker 4: a chance and extremely I mean, as good as he is,
Speaker 4: he wasn't even able to mark this balls again, high
Speaker 4: ball there it Goes Dars is able to work him
Speaker 4: under the ball and.
Speaker 2: We're not seeing that enough at the moment from other backs.
Speaker 2: I don't think with Sam at the moment, you've got
Speaker 2: to give him a bit of body and make sure
Speaker 2: you're physical with him. But they do need the pressure
Speaker 2: and that's something Sydney have brought the last few weeks,
Speaker 2: especially the last five weeks. The number three in tackles
Speaker 2: that can test the ball numbers up. But the heap
Speaker 2: they're providing at the moment, they're going to have to
Speaker 2: bring this if they want to stop the Dog's midfield.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, I mean the fact that this ones have really
Speaker 4: put the pressure on the ball means that they are
Speaker 4: able to stop the contest and able to really get
Speaker 4: those tackles and get that pressure.
Speaker 5: One of the reasons that be put adelaide.
Speaker 4: If the game gets to a point where the starting
Speaker 4: positions and Sydney versus Western Bolldogs, would you go see
Speaker 4: six six? How would you play the stoppage? If you
Speaker 4: go even number around the stoppages or do you have
Speaker 4: an extra number there? If you're Sydney to curb the
Speaker 4: Western Bulldogs are prominence around.
Speaker 2: The I think for me like the dog dogies mids
Speaker 2: so potent and powerful, I would put an extra around
Speaker 2: the stoppage and get some heat on him. You saw
Speaker 2: them what Sydney did to port if if they can
Speaker 2: replicate that against the Dogs and get the heat on
Speaker 2: and make make the Bulldogs kick those jack kicks like
Speaker 2: we saw against Collingwood, they'll be able to stop the Doggies.
Speaker 4: So if you put an stoppage though you're releasing a
Speaker 4: half back, releasing go on balley Dale gets released off
Speaker 4: half back one of the best kicks in the competition.
Speaker 4: Is it worth playing six sixty six or by releasing
Speaker 4: barley Dale? Orden is a handle at the back and
Speaker 4: he's tearing through the middle.
Speaker 5: Of the ground.
Speaker 2: So I'm going with an extra around the stopage. What
Speaker 2: would you would you have an extra?
Speaker 4: I would back the Sydney midfield, who are you know,
Speaker 4: terrific when they're on and they've got obviously Gilden back
Speaker 4: and Mills back playing some reasonably good football. So you've
Speaker 4: got that, you've got the senior players around the back them,
Speaker 4: and if it's not working, I actually wouldn't throw one
Speaker 4: at the stoppage. I'd drop one in the hole to
Speaker 4: try and read and react to that kid coming out
Speaker 4: of out of the mid This might.
Speaker 2: Be why you're a coacher. No, I was a player.
Speaker 4: We won't find out till Friday night, will we The
Speaker 4: other thing that's been in the media a lot this
Speaker 4: week is Sam Dusky in the ruck. People are saying
Speaker 4: he shouldn't be at the ruck. He's a Rolls Royce,
Speaker 4: she shouldn't hurt him.
Speaker 5: For me, he does.
Speaker 4: He does need to spend time in the ruck because
Speaker 4: what happens in a final or a big game when
Speaker 4: four goals down, you need to change it up. You
Speaker 4: do need to try something, and you can't just try
Speaker 4: for once in a final. No, And someone might be
Speaker 4: getting hold of him too. Someone might have him and
Speaker 4: he might be a bit out of form or it
Speaker 4: might not be getting a touch. That's a perfect way
Speaker 4: to get Sam into a game. Getting around the ball,
Speaker 4: his follow up and his grand ball is just as
Speaker 4: good as anyone else in there. And he could be
Speaker 4: a very dominant ruckman when it comes as well as
Speaker 4: well if kick goals and it's hard for someone to
Speaker 4: tag him play on him, if he's up and down
Speaker 4: the ground playing different positions.
Speaker 2: We've said his boys too, it's Dean Cox like it's elite.
Speaker 3: And how much did Sydney's game plan change with Gulden back.
Speaker 3: How much of a difference maker was he to them
Speaker 3: last week in terms of the way that they play.
Speaker 4: I think it just gives them outside release, gives them
Speaker 4: better ball, yes, and also gives them a runner who
Speaker 4: can actually get back, defend, get to more contests. I
Speaker 4: mean his running ability, the sensational gives them that and
Speaker 4: his ball use is very good. But what I like
Speaker 4: from the game was, yes, it was it was the players,
Speaker 4: but their pressure has gone right up and they're tackling,
Speaker 4: as Rory pointed out, was outstanding.
Speaker 5: Who wins mate.
Speaker 2: Doggies win, dog Doggies win. They're just too good at
Speaker 2: the moment.
Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
Speaker 4: In Marcus Bond and Pelly's two fiftieth, Tom, we're backing
Speaker 4: the Bulldogs and I wouldn't be surprised if Marcus has
Speaker 4: thirty five and Sandarci kick six.
Speaker 1: And if you're the Sydney Swans coach Rory Dean Cox,
Speaker 1: is your first priority to stop Wonton Pelly or Ed
Speaker 1: Richards given the year that he's having.
Speaker 2: Look, I think, considering it's the Big Fellow's two fiftieth
Speaker 2: game and he's going to have a special one a's
Speaker 2: heready mentioned, I'll be going after. Unfortunately for him and
Speaker 2: his two fiftieth, he's too damaging.
Speaker 1: Ed Richard's off the chain not a bad one car, Well,
Speaker 1: who are you tipping this game?
Speaker 3: Dogs as well?
Speaker 1: Yes so am I? But the Swans that backed themselves
Speaker 1: at home? All right? The Lexus of Blackburn Performance of
Speaker 1: the week is up next, and I reckon I'm a
Speaker 1: sneaky chance, stay with us. I'm footy classified that man.
Speaker 1: Logan Morris was incredible. Nick Daikos too, and Bonton Pelly
Speaker 1: in Game two forty nine was on fire. Don't worry
Speaker 1: about the ruse coldin mckirch. Absolute young guy again.
Speaker 2: This sister.
Speaker 1: Obviously I liked a bit of a joke and we
Speaker 1: got a pretty good relationship. And I said to him like, mate,
Speaker 1: I've smashed your card into the boom gate and he's
Speaker 1: kind of just got, oh, yeah, let's going mate, and
Speaker 1: just sat in the couch and I'm like no, seriously,
Speaker 1: like go outside, going to smash it in front of it.
Speaker 1: To have that opportunity to be able to go back
Speaker 1: and play with my local club and the opposition actually
Speaker 1: had a film my school teachers playing in that team too,
Speaker 1: which worked out well. I managed to kick fift here for.
Speaker 2: Ten thousand for a booth in Vegas. That hurts.
Speaker 3: Talks through that US dollar.
Speaker 2: No one just got excited.
Speaker 5: You got this, no.
Speaker 1: Perfect spot.
Speaker 2: A little bit more and he's nearly this, almost centamons down.
Speaker 5: Tom Bobby, he's perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a tiny you know this surely, Hei, mate,
Speaker 1: Joe Higgins.
Speaker 2: That's the players.
Speaker 1: You can catch them all on YouTube, all the episodes
Speaker 1: that have been so far. Amazing staff, Cam Rainer, Harley Reid,
Speaker 1: Felix mon Hop doing a great job. Some great humor
Speaker 1: there from the boys as well. Sony, maybe get you.
Speaker 2: On the Paddleland ex players. They take ex players and
Speaker 2: maybe not yet.
Speaker 1: Let's exhaust all the current players.
Speaker 2: Get the current players first, let's season one go. But
Speaker 2: it's going so well, it's awesome to watch.
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for the Lexus of Blackburn Performance
Speaker 1: of the Year. But first, this is what the winner
Speaker 1: walks away with a brand new Lexus LBX two will
Speaker 1: drive worth over thirty fifty five thousand dollars, includes on
Speaker 1: roads and twelve months of vic Reggi. Now that is
Speaker 1: a serious car.
Speaker 5: Serious, Thanks you serious.
Speaker 1: Thanks Andrew Moore and Jerry at the team of Lexis
Speaker 1: of Blackburn. Amazing coffee, great cupcakes, read a book when you're.
Speaker 2: There as well.
Speaker 1: It's an incredible experience and you get yourself a car.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've got everything, but there's a beautiful Ron
Speaker 1: Barrassi book you can read as well. If you want
Speaker 1: to learn about the history of footy. I want to
Speaker 1: learn about the weekend. It's time for the Lexus of Blackburn.
Speaker 1: Player of the Weekend. Cal you're up first.
Speaker 3: Well, even when you try and star, you just can't.
Speaker 3: It has to be Nick Dakos. I mean, what a
Speaker 3: game from him again? Thirty disposals, putting contested touches, nine
Speaker 3: score involvements. Has this for a start? First Magpie since
Speaker 3: Adam Trelaw in twenty nineteen to have thirty plus touches,
Speaker 3: five plus score assists and to kick a goal as well.
Speaker 3: So his highest rated game of his season according to
Speaker 3: Champion Data. What else do I have to say? The
Speaker 3: man can't be tagged. They keep tagging Hurdy and Coleen
Speaker 3: would keep winning.
Speaker 4: Cording to rough Line, a lot of those three kicks
Speaker 4: weren't there, so he had a very easy day because
Speaker 4: of the umpires.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the mature performance from him, wasn't it. It was
Speaker 2: just it's just solid as tough performance from Nick.
Speaker 1: But was he better than Tom Green? That's the question.
Speaker 2: Slow Now, No, Tom Green for me was a Lexus
Speaker 2: Performer Player of the Round. He had sixteen clearances, hurting
Speaker 2: sixteen nine tackles, thirty one disposals, twenty two contested. He's
Speaker 2: nearly had the triple double at footy, where you have
Speaker 2: over ten, ten and ten. He just had one more
Speaker 2: tackle and even his last goal he kicked, he sold
Speaker 2: a bit of candy, was unbelievable. But his game he
Speaker 2: stood up enormously. This is the goal I was talking about.
Speaker 2: Phenomenal game from Tom Green and he helps them.
Speaker 4: Now, I love Tom Green, but you only see the offense,
Speaker 4: don't you. His opponent had thirty five. Well, I'm just
Speaker 4: saying Crederson was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Don't question my defensive watching Tom Green.
Speaker 1: Now, cal tell us about Tom Green as a teenager
Speaker 1: coming through the draft.
Speaker 3: His nickname was the Tractor then as well, and that's
Speaker 3: it was an interesting draft. He was in the same
Speaker 3: draft as Narah Anderson, Matt Rowe, and he was going
Speaker 3: ahead to head with those guys. In the end, it
Speaker 3: bid go through to I think number ten. It shouldn't have.
Speaker 3: That's three or four in that years draft by Mike
Speaker 3: I Love.
Speaker 2: I'm just come on, who have you got? You made
Speaker 2: your peak about halfway through.
Speaker 4: This half through a second quarter, Luke Jackson was just
Speaker 4: on fire and I'm not sure how he can go
Speaker 4: past Luke Jackson.
Speaker 5: Really, he was on fire.
Speaker 4: Twenty one disposals, ten clearances, forty eight hit hocks.
Speaker 5: Is that some sort of record on some of these marks?
Speaker 5: And three goals.
Speaker 1: He's up again as a dead tuitiment in the ruck
Speaker 1: in the veness.
Speaker 5: You can only play against what you can play against.
Speaker 4: I thought he was pretty good, pretty good for the day,
Speaker 4: but Luke Jackson just showed why he's on the money
Speaker 4: is and Freemantle can't afford to lose him.
Speaker 5: He's one of the big reasons where they are.
Speaker 4: He's more of a forward half ruckman rather than a
Speaker 4: get behind the ball ruckman, isn't He's kicks so many
Speaker 4: goals and he's a dominant force and attack.
Speaker 2: I was just about to say he's one ruckman. I
Speaker 2: would certainly pay over a million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, So what's happening with Luke Jackson? Cow Surely
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3: I don't think he is. I think the watch now
Speaker 3: clearly is on Sean Darcy's future though, I mean he's
Speaker 3: got a contract for another five years, been in and
Speaker 3: out of the side of the last couple of years
Speaker 3: with injury. What do you guys think around how Luke
Speaker 3: Jackson plays by himself versus sharing the rock roll because
Speaker 3: no ruckman wants to share.
Speaker 4: No, no, they just don't get to continuay do that.
Speaker 4: I think you want to come off the ground for
Speaker 4: fifteen twenty percent of the game as a ruckman, but
Speaker 4: you want to be on there most of the time.
Speaker 4: They get their fluency, they get there, they get their run.
Speaker 4: But the problem is you do need to have another
Speaker 4: ruckman on your list or doing that because if you
Speaker 4: get an injury or there's such an important part of
Speaker 4: your side, but one injury, you can throw your whole
Speaker 4: side out the.
Speaker 3: Cause of you resigning as well, extinguish the hopes of
Speaker 3: Melbourne to get him back. They don't have any other
Speaker 3: chips to get him and that would have been a
Speaker 3: big one for him to come back.
Speaker 1: So where we're looking at Sean Darcy, if he does
Speaker 1: decide to look elsewhere.
Speaker 3: Well, he's amongst the eight ruckmen they're up for grabs.
Speaker 3: It a lot depends on what Draper does. Who's the
Speaker 3: first chip before well, I think to Cooning will be
Speaker 3: and then Carlton has to make a call on what
Speaker 3: it does. Do they check go and chase Darcy Cameron
Speaker 3: who has a year to go on his contract but
Speaker 3: has been negotiating in trying to negotiate a longer term
Speaker 3: deal with that Ron Marshall. Then the spotlight comes on
Speaker 3: does he want to stay again? Do you want to
Speaker 3: share the role there? Roley O'Brien still not got a
Speaker 3: contract at the Adelaide Footy Club. Ilbury is going to
Speaker 3: in the market. So wherever Draper chooses, where do they go.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of moving pieces in the Merry go Around,
Speaker 3: we love the ruck meryger Yeah.
Speaker 1: And old fashioned rock mery go around really gets us
Speaker 1: going in the trade period cow we love that Marcus
Speaker 1: Bonzebelli got me going on the weekend. He's my lex
Speaker 1: as a Blackburn player of the week. I think we
Speaker 1: overlook sometimes just how dominant he is at his absolute best.
Speaker 1: Thirty six disposals, fifteen of them contested. But the crucial,
Speaker 1: the separating point from me here was he kicked three goals.
Speaker 1: He was well held. The week before he didn't have
Speaker 1: his best game, but in game two forty nine, he
Speaker 1: just ran a muck against the Tigers. They could do
Speaker 1: nothing to stop him, and in my eyes, he's clearly
Speaker 1: the player of the week.
Speaker 2: He's just damaging need thirty six every week, but he's
Speaker 2: damaging with eighteen to twenty four and yeah, just the
Speaker 2: way he kicks a ball and the way he kicks
Speaker 2: a space and makes a forward run to that space.
Speaker 2: I think it's it's an underrated skill in football.
Speaker 4: No, it's definitely a superstar. But it's pretty obvious that
Speaker 4: Luke Jackson is the clear winner.
Speaker 1: Jackson really, Oh my god, Luke Jackson is the week.
Speaker 1: Le's the black Burn player of the week. Thank you
Speaker 1: to Andrew Moore and Jerry and the team. Up next,
Speaker 1: it's cal to Me with news or Noise and some
Speaker 1: juicy topics amongst it.
Speaker 2: Stay with us on.
Speaker 1: Futty classified all Right's favorite time of the night. It's
Speaker 1: cal to me with that news or noise taken away
Speaker 1: cal I love that little love that.
Speaker 3: More for that one. Roy Let's kick it off the
Speaker 3: same old Sons will miss the finals.
Speaker 2: This is tough mane. Now they'll make finals. No, they will,
Speaker 2: that's noise. They'll make finals. I just don't know who
Speaker 2: comes out. Maybe it's free. I think dogs and giants will.
Speaker 4: I can't answer that question without answering who comes out.
Speaker 4: You got to come on, who comes out?
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm going against my start at three or maybe free.
Speaker 2: I can't see dogs and giants coming out at the moment.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to play dogs and giants at the moment, right,
Speaker 2: heardy news or noise.
Speaker 3: Miles Bergmann's sickness admission was too much. It was a
Speaker 3: step too far.
Speaker 5: That's news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way he's talked to the Sydney players about
Speaker 4: being sick, I don't think you do that. But you'd
Speaker 4: get he dodged him in, didn't you. I'd be a
Speaker 4: bit dirty on that one.
Speaker 2: Sam Mitchell is just to say it doesn't matter how
Speaker 2: you feel game day. The job is still the same,
Speaker 2: So just get on with.
Speaker 5: If you run out there.
Speaker 3: The real issue with Miles bergmann sickness is his homesickness.
Speaker 5: I think as.
Speaker 3: Jordan Degowey should be warehoused until September.
Speaker 1: No, that is that's news. If I was Craig McCray
Speaker 1: and Collingwood, knowing that you're six points clear on top.
Speaker 1: I would be holding Jordan de Gooey for as long
Speaker 1: as possible, getting him back through the VFL, which he
Speaker 1: hasn't played since the very start of his career, and
Speaker 1: making sure he's cherry right for finals, so there's no
Speaker 1: rush and if it means it doesn't play till a
Speaker 1: round twenty three or even finals, so be it.
Speaker 3: Rory news or noise, the Bulldogs will resign Adam to law.
Speaker 2: News, Yep, no, they'll resign Adam. I just don't know
Speaker 2: if you'll like. They're not desperate to h They don't
Speaker 2: need him as much at the moment with Fraser playing
Speaker 2: great midfield minutes. At the moment, you've got Libbe, You've
Speaker 2: got ed Ridges was spoken about Bond and even really
Speaker 2: Sads coming up too. So the development it's their young
Speaker 2: guy's been great.
Speaker 1: What do you think Tom does he come back in
Speaker 1: in finals if he hasn't played any VFL, He's done
Speaker 1: his third calf of the year. Is that too big
Speaker 1: a risk for Luke Beveridge, who has been known to
Speaker 1: make these calls before, to take.
Speaker 3: Now if he's fitting, healthy and in good four. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: he's a noise hurdy. Fox should be paying for Dimmer's fine.
Speaker 3: The fingers saluted.
Speaker 5: How do I answer this? No, yes, noise.
Speaker 4: No, they shouldn't be paying because Damien Harbock I've known
Speaker 4: him since he was twenty years old, sin to Iceland days.
Speaker 5: He's as tight as they come. Make him pay.
Speaker 3: You were on the receiving and one of them from
Speaker 3: him forward.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was on a few sprays. If you didn't
Speaker 4: pick up your man, your forward running forward and he
Speaker 4: had to get get to you get a fierce brothrom.
Speaker 1: And cal just before you move on. The reason that
Speaker 1: Gold Coast want Fox Footy to pay that fine is
Speaker 1: because they showed it an AFL three sixty. Had they
Speaker 1: showed it on the broadcast, then Gold Coast would be
Speaker 1: happy to pay the two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Fair enough, news and noise Tom, the rules have turned
Speaker 3: a corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, News, they're turning the corner. I'm proud to say
Speaker 1: the rules are no longer a sixteen to eighteen team.
Speaker 1: They're a twelve to fifteen team, which means they're rounding
Speaker 1: the corner. They've got a fair way to go. I'd
Speaker 1: like them to get three to four more wins and
Speaker 1: then next year push into the nine to twelve range
Speaker 1: when it comes to ladder position.
Speaker 3: They make the finals next year.
Speaker 1: I don't think they will make the finals next year.
Speaker 1: I think a year after Okay, yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: a bitch too fin Next year you have a better
Speaker 1: heard you.
Speaker 5: What's that of a bet?
Speaker 3: No, I don't know, tap top row rory final news
Speaker 3: or noise for tonight, Zach Merritt must be played as
Speaker 3: a full time mid news or noise news.
Speaker 2: I'll get hurt his thoughts on this in the SEC two.
Speaker 2: For me, I think the best clubs at the moment
Speaker 2: with a good solid midfield group spin their players through.
Speaker 2: There you've got Collin when they can spit many guys
Speaker 2: out onto a wing as well. So I like if
Speaker 2: it'd be better for Zach Merritt's body. I think if
Speaker 2: he plays majority mid but then spits out onto a
Speaker 2: wing and gets those outside minutes too.
Speaker 4: For Zack, I'd like to see him playing in the midfield,
Speaker 4: but I'd also like to start Us and Hobbs playing
Speaker 4: in the midfield. So for the senior players, if there's
Speaker 4: choice in senior players, as Zach plays Zach. But if
Speaker 4: you're trying to blood some youth and find out about players,
Speaker 4: I would sacrifice a little bit Zach's time.
Speaker 2: I think it's like a seventy thirty split seventy to
Speaker 2: thirty inside thirty thirty.
Speaker 4: You've got to work out with Sardistan Hobbs where they
Speaker 4: can do that and do it consistent performances in the midfield.
Speaker 1: Nicely done, cal very good edition of News or Noise.
Speaker 1: Sunday Footy Show is on again this Sunday morning from
Speaker 1: ten A Meltonine Rory Sloane in fantastic form. I will
Speaker 1: make TJ Nathan Brown, Damian Barrett and the Velvet Sledgehammer
Speaker 1: Matthew Lloyd. It's an amazing show for a number of reasons.
Speaker 1: It's funny and it's informative and I don't mind this
Speaker 1: one either. Jimmy and Herdy. It's Footy Furnace. Later on
Speaker 1: Sunday night you can tuned into that and again Jimmy

Speaker 1: five It's Tab Top three time. Thanks to givin mclochlan
Speaker 1: and tab and Cal you can kick us off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I walked in today. I said I want this
Speaker 3: one because we'll start with what I want to land.
Speaker 3: It only really four goals. He's going to kick a
Speaker 3: season high bagger goals on the weekend.
Speaker 1: And what did you say?
Speaker 3: Initially I went with Connor Rosie and about twenty five touches.
Speaker 2: That's probably twenty and one. He went with I didn't
Speaker 2: like that. I got stuck into it now hard as Butters.
Speaker 2: Zach Butters will have thirty and kick two. He's going
Speaker 2: to be a huge game on Thursday night.
Speaker 5: Yeah for me, I'm back in the Blues. Charlie Kurno
Speaker 5: to kick six.
Speaker 4: I think that Carton midfield will finally show some bursts
Speaker 4: and some speed and kick it down his throat.
Speaker 5: Six goals with Charlie.
Speaker 1: So who wins that game?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 4: If Charlie is going to kick it, well, I'm going
Speaker 4: against the odds, but I think Carlton win that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah quickly Port, I think Port if Willie kicks for
Speaker 1: so that's Thursday night and Friday night football of course
Speaker 1: is Sydney versus the Western Bood.
Speaker 5: Obvious you just saw just there.
Speaker 1: That's the game of the round, Hurdie Sloaney cal Thanks
