When he starts to just step right up to the plate and just starts whacking him out, he told you before anyone that Tim English said, hey, they said that Tim English, you're staying because Toby, Zach, Mitt, butters one chip. Watch it. And he stayed and Zach butters came. I give you my flash. No, no, I'm true. Sometimes when the whist speaks, they look in the wrong spot. They go after these other younger newshounds, but during the whist speaks. Listen. Can I ask you this question? This question is good advice. Can I ask you this question? And then Karago, you mentioned last night. That's how it's interesting. It's an interesting thing for Tim to say. More.

2:03More. It's the thoring. That's the first step of the thoring. Okay, let's move on. Do you think, do you think Jolong have placed enough value on a rockman over the last decade? No, I think they've wrestled with that decision as much as anything that has been in Chris Scott's time. Can I tell you, I went a bit of a, just a opinion. A little bit of a deep dive yesterday. You know, they're last five years. They're most credentialed rockman. Who do you think they're best? Stanley. Incorrect. Who do you think has been their best rockman in the last five years based on performance? Oh, what a sad Stanley. Hmm. Who is it? Blitz Arvs. And would you, no, no, this is the stats. That's what I'm saying. Well, don't jump back at me because I'm actually telling you something that that's who statistically has been their number one rockman in five years. Now I put to you. He's not a rockman. No, he's not. He's not a rockman. And I reckon it costs.

3:05It has cost them. It's been to the benefit many times, but I think it's been to the negative on occasion too because where they could have deployed him because he's been so good at playing so many different positions. And the fact that they haven't been able to necessarily play him and use him somewhere else because he's been pinch hitting in the rock, but he's actually become, as the last five years of statistics, he's become their most performed rockman in their team. Well, maybe they'll address it. It's a hard one because they like Edwards, but he's not quite there and got it, not a disgrace. He was against Luke Jackson. When Luke Jackson turned the tie to that match. Well, in the last eight minutes of that game, they won six clearances, free mantle. And Edwards gave away three kicks that resulted in goals. Two of those went to Jackson and he was just in experience like, I'm not having a crack at the kid, but he just, if they weren't mucking around with their rockman, they might

4:08have been able to get more games into him and maybe you didn't make those decisions. Well, that's all the things that are on the table that are probably there doing in their postseason analysis. So I've got a couple of interesting developments. Does Jolong now just cross out the butters on the contract and ride in the merit? Well, that's an interesting question because I think he, he, I think other clubs would be entertaining the idea of maybe recruiting him. Maybe he wasn't their number one priority. But do Adelaide now try giving their lack of debt? I'm asking about you long. Yeah, I'm throwing in Adelaide as another team. And I think Jolong, maybe they look at it. Well, it's all on one of me for your lack. But you wouldn't be, he's older than butters. No, you cross out merit. You cross out butters in right merit and you slash a couple of zeros. That's right. And you're not paying any money in a few years. And a few years. But in terms of what they're after, they want me to feel debt.

5:09They want ball user. They want some. No, it's all those things. Zach Merritt did Jolong would be. He's not as ferocious. He can be. Oh, he's not. He's not. But he's not at the same level that Zach now. No one is. I don't think anyone is as ferocious as Zach Merritt. So I think that and is the second part of my interesting observation. If Toby wants, is so badly wants to play with Zach butters, there's Toby go to the bulldogs. I don't see how the bulldogs could possibly be. It's a long way, isn't it? It's a long way. It's a good time. It's a good time. It's a good time. It's a good time. It's a good time. Zach and Rowan. Yeah, I know. But they've already got a couple of biggies there. And I don't know. What's the Sam Darsie situation in terms of his contract? He didn't do a multi year massive, massive deal or did they just sort of do a medium-style deal with it? He didn't be. Yeah, but not as I don't think he. I don't think he took the farm. Well, put it this way. If he comes out and kicks 85 goals this year, they've got a problem.

6:09They're going to have the three highest paid points. I think he's locked away for a while though. In the game, butters, Darsie and Bontan Pelley. I don't know if we'll find out about Sammy Darsie, but it is all good. It is all good. We're not picking up anything Gary's putting down. Thank you. He changed it. He changed it. Anyway, I think the merit and the long thing, I just, I would like to see that. Do you know something or do you just, are you just flooding that as an idea? Oh, you do. No, no, no, no. You should do. No, I know that look. I know that look. I don't. I know you never, ever dip your toe in this area unless you've got information of the 100% career. Maybe Hawthorn should look at Merritt. Well, I think Hawthorn are being looking at Merritt for the best part of two years. So that's still very much on. Sandhazi, Simon, with the Western Bulldogs till the end of 2029 for your extension of these last contract. What sort of checks were we talking there? Like midrange. What's midrange? Oricon, he would have been an eight or nine. Oh, no. He wouldn't have gone past his mill. Surely.

7:10No, I don't think so. Oh, they have got a problem there. They've got to give him up to that stage. Hey, tell me, Libertore, he's always going to be a good interview. Tell me, Libertore, and he's going on a podcast. I'm not sure who's podcasting is. I'll find out. I'll give the proper attribution. But they had this to say on the signing of Zack Buddies to the dogs. Zack Buddies, go on to the dogs. They'll be bored to get them out. How good is that just for the club? Obviously, we're soon departing legends. They're going to get some young pups in. Absolutely, pups. I was so raffed. I couldn't believe my eyes. Literally scrimal, I'm sure we bottle this. Yeah. Well, then we got it, but then they're not yet. Even better. It's down to long lost that day. And they're not getting butters. Yeah. Yeah, they're not getting to be.
