We're playing him with the Jonas Brothers today.

2:08Memories of Friday at the G. That was Gavin from Aubrey's idea. Put us in the mood for our Monday snap judgments. What you feel most passionately from the weekend of sport that simply has to be given voice and there's so much to choose from. The NAB OpenLiner's 13736736, NAB your partner for first homes and second stories and the 40-winks temper text is 04433981116, the difference is temper. The events of the AFL semi-finals that ended a five-year pattern of straight sets, exits and propels us toward two stack preliminary finals. Brisbane and free mantle is again the favoured way for that one day in September. Zack Butter's choice to join the Western Bulldogs in a free agency decision to tilt the tectonic plates of the competition. The EPL had a fail with its VAR overnight in the Manchester Dabby. They just admitted an era of judgments rather than pretending everything was hunky-dory

3:10like we do with the arc. She's the alibi was brilliant winning the MacIby Dever at Flemington, but she won't run in the Cox plate. The good horse has no longer contested the great races because the money laden pop-ups and racing is the poor for it. And the glow that remains in this town after the stupendous staging of Friday's NFL game cast your snap judgments now. Mine? It was well predicted there would be a response from the beaten qualifying finalists. The ferocity of the Brisbane Lions opening on Saturday night sent a tremor through the force. When they are interested, the Lions are the best team in the competition. The searingly accurate assessment of Field Avis earlier in the season. The pointed blade between the shoulders of a knockout final, that suits the Lions at this stage of their reign. The loss to Sydney can found it and clearly angered Chris Fagan. He rode the team hard during the week and he elicited a fearsome response.

4:11There aren't many finals that are legitimately over after seven minutes. The semifinal against Adelaide was one. Fierce aggressive rampaging. Brisbane had five goals when Adelaide had four kicks, five goals to four kicks. Those who had endured the disapproval from the coach, that cut a bite picking and choosing. They were out to make amends and the crows never stood a chance. Amends was the theme for Brisbane as it had been for free, Mattel, and both saw to the task well. In the first game, we had a week off and there's just so much hype and talk around things like home prelims and those sorts of things. So easy for players. They just put the cut before the horse and just felt this week. It felt more like a normal week. We set him up with some really clear focuses and didn't ask him to do anything that we hadn't done a year. I think you could see that from the very start that they're out to making amends and

5:13clearly we played much better brand of food. It looked more like us, clearly from the start. It was an extraordinary start. Denner, I was just talking as we walked out because I'm on the headset to hear him up in the box. I'll never say anything for the first time. I've been just standing there with my mouth open. This is unbelievable. It was a very prompt response to a disappointing game last year and last week. I've also, at the start, Sydney played exceptionally well, but we didn't give a yacht last week. We needed to make a statement and I thought we did tonight. Making amends. So for whatever remains of this line, systemic quest for three premierships that will be staged at the MCG beginning with this mouthwatering clash against Hawthorne, an opponent they made a mess of last month. The two clubs that secured their dynasties through three beats this century drawn in a final for the first time will spend all week in the group of anticipation. The storyline makes you wish it was the grand final.

6:15For Adelaide, this is the sobering reality. The crows are close to contention but not in contention. They knew the player they needed but missed him and then Zach Bailey tore them apart for emphasis. The step into the final four feels like a vault for Matthew Nicks. Jolong also knew the player it needed but missed. The Bulldogs have won the sweepstakes for Zach Butters. They were the primary ticket holders who, for a period of time, looked to have lost the front running. There's a very distinct moment in time. The dogs changed the course of their future. You could hear it from Luke Beverage on 360. Yeah, there's rumblings. I mean, you're always working out what you can do. Have you spent everything that you can as far as not legitimately regards to the dollar but is there any more you can do? Is there another angle? With any player like Zach who you really determined to bring in? So sometimes when you hear those rumors, they're valid and other times they're probably

7:18misdirected but we're not sure of the impact of that one but it could be true and we've got to continue to do what we can to serve we can bring Zach in. Sam Edmund was the first to identify the shift in the wins. The dogs realized there was more to be done with a player that has the capacity to transform the fortunes of a team that lives on the breadline of finals. It was suitably bold and aggressive and ignored the risk of looking desperate. The dogs up there offered to the realms of Richmond's and put daylight between the contract terms at Jolong. $5 million is a chasm. The dogs, players who knew butters went for the all court press and the club ensured all were secure. Those responsible also recognized the necessity to deal with Port Adelaide. No proactive as these discussions been though while the outside narrative turned to how does the deal get done? Those close to negotiations believe it's already as good as done.

8:20And just when the season was nose diving, Luke beverage rescued things and restored some optimism. He might we might never truly know how much rested on the after the kicks iron of Tim memory. Butters is coming back to his roots to team up with Marcus Bontan-Pelley. This is akin to Patrick Dangerfield joining Joel Selwood. It changed the trajectory of the cats and ultimately led to a premiership. The bulldogs will be hoping for the same effects. The dogs have taken the big swing that the modern game demands and there will be an element of bring on 2027 before we've reached the prelimbs of 2026. And then there was Friday, a day that did nothing less than remind us what a great city this is. It's just about the best day of sport anyone can recall in these parts. Melbourne undeniably has its challenges, but it's a great town and this is our long suit. Sport is our common language and our shared culture. It's our passion, our obsession and our devotion and it's a responsibility not to be taken

9:24for granted. The NFL will not have a bigger occasion all year than what happened here. It wasn't a mini Super Bowl as the international games are built. It was everything that defines a Super Bowl and I could argue more. The MCG was magnificently set up. The surrounds utilized like never before with the gates set back from the doors of the building. The live sites around town had a scale unseen previously. Stuart Fox told us in the lead up it was the AFL Grand Final 4. It's not a matter of better, simply bigger. The turnout was exceptional, not unexpected, but still worthy of note. For me, the 100,000 was always a given. What surprised me was the turnout in NFL jerseys. It seems we all have one in the wardrobe and it's rather delightfully spanned many of vintage. I wish we would all wear AFL Gernsys when we go to games. But somehow we've allowed ourselves to be bullied by the idea you can't wear a footy

10:24jumper after a certain age. Shame on those that have done that to us. When the colors are troops, there's no better site. Our anthem was stirring. Cody Simpson salute to you. The singing hole hearted. The 49ers were rewarded for their embrace of the town. By the time we left, we knew a couple of things for sure. Our sport is better than theirs, but they know how to stage an event beyond compare. We are the greatest sporting city in the world. It's not a brag, it's a truth. And it was enough to make you so damn proud. Melbourne needed a day like that. Trust sport to provide it. A hearty congratulations to all involved, all who attended, to Charlotte Offord from the NFL, Stuart Fox at the MCC and Brendan McClements at Visit Victoria and all those who put their energies into staging one of the great days of sport ever seen in this town. In the Vanguard studio this morning, when did you last compare your super and we are taking

11:27your snap judgments? Jackson, turn side park, hello dear Jack. Morning Jared, how are you? I'm well, thank you. Start the season tomorrow Jared. Let's go. It's unbelievable. It's a landmark moment for our club Jared where we're not the bright shiny lights of a Collingwood or Richmond or Jalong. We don't have the same amount of trophies in the cabinet. We're a working class boy, Collar Club from the West. We've landed a big boy for the first time ever free, free agency and it's so refreshing and exciting Jared. I heard Kane before saying 11% of the salary cap but this is what the market dictates this week. We had to go harder. We had to pay a lot to get him to the club. He and his family are bulldogs through and through and I just can't wait mate. This is going to be a really exciting time in the life of bulldogs fans and bring on 27 and beyond mate. It's going to be unreal. Start counting the days Jack is what a side he'll be in a bulldog scourancy.

12:28Good on you. Great snap judgment to start. Daniels in Pasco, welcome Daniel. Morning Jared, how are you? I'm super. That's awesome. Yeah. Sorry I haven't called for a while. I wasn't worth bringing up about it. I said it in but I thought the NFL on Friday certainly was. You hit the nail on the head there. It wasn't an experience as an NFL mad supporter like I am. I think just the experience that I've been lucky enough to go over the states but for it to come to Melbourne and put it on the show like that. The whole day was awesome. The game itself maybe not played out as the way we wanted to do it but for the most part we did a really good job of putting on a good show for the fans and everything like that. Yeah I mean I can sit there in ten years to I mean so was that the first NFL game in Melbourne what a day. What a day. What was your absolute favourite part of it? I think the last touchdown there of Mike Evans that was awesome. Just the sort of the whole crowd with a great touchdown and Brock Pertie played pretty well for the whole day. I'm not a 49er fan but certainly was on the bandwagon for the day.

13:30But no I think it was the whole point of it was to see the star players come out now for the oil and yeah see Christian McCuffey run around as well that was pretty cool so yeah. Well done Daniel thank you. Susan Munda, hello to your Sue. Hello Jared firstly don't hold your light under a bushel. Thanks to your effort some Friday you made the game much more interesting watching it on TV and listening to your one radio and your genuine in through the app and even your love of it came across very very well. We had a nephew that was lucky enough to afford a seat to get in there and you said for once being up and away from the action turned out to be a far better view than you've ever had at the MCG before and it's the first time he has seen a fly over. I'm lucky enough to be at the Cominwood and it's an ANSAC days and we've privileged to

14:31have that but he's the first time he's seen it and he said no wonder people get goosebumps. And also the National Anthem and I also know at ANSAC days that when the crowd joins in it really does mean something. Secondly one of the really I don't know if it's an emotional is the right word but when the the the same Francisco team had to touch down even when I looked at their goal I'm proud to say they don't usually signal like that and when you put these um stray out in front of a picture and I have found a way and then to see one of our goal I'm tired on Friday night when they kicked the goal put these ums up above these head. Yeah that was a great time. That was just amazing and also as a desperate Cominwood supporter it was nice to see even

15:36if it was on the referee's it was nice to see someone wearing black and white out in the middle of the ground at September. So lovely thank you thank you for your snap judgement. Tom's in there with hello to you, Tom. Yeah great guys yeah cut a quick point. I'm just watching an NFL game with 3031 with a minute to go and it's hopefully we can get a high scoring game next year to make it. Oh hang on the quarterbacks just run a 50 yard touchdown. So if we get a game where we get some score and be great. A mother thing is there's nothing wrong with the yard it's the people making the decision. I mean that was obviously a goal they're just so conservative and too scared to make a tough decision and then the NFL coming out and saying it was fine. I mean it wasn't it was a wrong decision and just make the right decision that's the issue with it not the technology just make the right bloody decision.

16:39Yes it's the whole system wrapped up together dormant and it's for 17 years it's been an embarrassment to the code and the EPL school dis overnight they made a mistake on the human side of things with the VAR and they just simply admitted to an error of judgement and they were making contact with the teams to apologise error of judgement. But no no no we're just going to pretend that what we all saw wasn't what the guy in the arc saw enough already enough already how many times does this system have to embarrass the competition before we get serious about it. Dom thank you Darren Michael in half a tick 13736736 the NAB Openline NAB your partner for first homes and second stories casting your snap judgments this Monday morning this is waitly for Hyundai it's game on it Hyundai where you can score great offers on a range of new and demonstrator models. Want to have your say ring Jared on 13736736 now back to waitly.

17:44Means test with Adam Simpson coming up your snap judgments pouring through I'll read some texts in a tit Darren's on the road how are you Darren. Get out my hair go good. Got a couple of points just with the NSL coming the ASL's big brother I think we put on a good show but as far as the AFL officiate in as far as the goal review we must look like a monkey making love to a pineapple. The other thing is with the umpires for our game the best date that we had on the weekend and we're just going to just keep going along like we have for the last five years and just accept mediocrity with the NFL they have a squad of umpires that actually perform as a group. So it's almost like they um they know each other's moves we gigazare in that much of their at try they're trying to have to do each other they got no continuity and we as a spectator we're left guessing for every game so I think the employees will decide who wins the grand

18:49final this year or who win the preliminary finals because there's no accountability they got no names there's no accountability and we're still in the same predicament as we've always been. Darren thank you. That's there is accountability and the point about jigging teams is a really interesting one um hopefully they don't decide games. I did despair for the state of holding the ball once we get to the best eight umpires and holding the ball looked like that across the two games that's that's where I despair for what's going on. Michael's in Campbell well hello to your Michael. Hey Gerard hope you do well great weekend of AFL and NRL finals when I came down on Friday for the NFL amazing setup as you said they really they know how to host an event but getting in and out was so fantastic compared to the AFL weekly games and finals um that was one of my my take away it's the other thing Gerard I think not since Don Lane have we seen such passion and enthusiasm but I really want to say a big thank you to you for not only um your commentary

19:52but also just the passion that you brought back to being and living in Melbourne it was it was fantastic it was a great feeling on Friday. Thanks Michael much appreciated there was a little bit of Don Lane and a lot of hearts on Friday um Shannon Gill was there as well we had a little moment for Don good on you. Alex and Karen down tell lady look. Yeah good morning how are you well. Yeah look um yeah I'm just what I was initially feeling but look I'm kind of over it now it's kind of just the the thing that just keeps happening over and over again with this arc decision wasn't it it's the you know the they had the break called just sort of overturn it but they did they went with the soft call with the point with Demsys Gold it it wasn't going to ultimately change the uh the outcome of the game but Demsys is just an absolute jedi has got he's uh he's gold jacket he's this year for his all Australian he deserve that goal was there um it was a big time big moment and he's just been robbed of it he has well I was

20:58like what's your what's your thoughts yes we all watched the same thing together and it was it's very odd but absolutely in keeping with the malfunction of the whole score of you system across 17 years this is not a this hasn't happened in isolation but we spent the money on getting the better cameras and there still couldn't use them in the way that they might have been used it's just the it's a it's a false promise and it always has been I don't believe in it look in case you haven't figured it out James is in bright and hello James hey Jared yeah just breaking down the butter's trade I kind of love watching soccer for the trade period because it's so direct and the reporters get it you know that break the news they get it right and if they get it wrong they come out and explain what turned around and I'd love us as it you know as a football nation to be able to really come out and you know if it was too long saying openly you know we just do want to go there with the money

22:01if we want to keep a team together or is it the trade package whatever it is I'd love clubs to be a bit more open than hearing stories about someone's poster at you know as a kid I just think we're all adults now we can get to a stage where we can put it a bit all out there and move on yeah I think it's for Zach to explain when he's ready it's there's a hot there were a whole lot of things that happened in this is the emotional pool was clear and then the gap ends up being five million dollars so that helps doesn't it and but yeah there was a there a lot of things happened the change in the wind it had moved along's way and then Sammy Edmund told us about three weeks ago it married up with Luke beverage on 360 the change in the wind and that's how the bootogs were able to get it done and there's a lot of messages on that front so texts in a moments for macas news cheesy range is Nathan the newsroom Nathan thank you here's the suite of your snap judgment so I was at the NFL game on Friday one of the most electric and patriotic sporting atmospheres I've ever

23:02experienced the crowds singing both national anthem's the Jonas Brothers doing your the voice and sweet Caroline just a few of the highlights the touchdown passes were pretty cool to down from blackburn Friday was possibly the best day I've ever had and definitely the best sporting event I've been to it was so awesome and to my 49ers to see my 49ers play live was a dream come true mark in Vermont the NFL has to stay at the MCG no other venue will have that aura in this country go Bengals that's from JB everything about Friday was perfect feel so lucky to have been there the campus around the grounds the AFL needs to implement that themselves the vibe of the entry to the ground was so easy and the jerseys everywhere were amazing all 32 teams represented and the color around the place was insane haven't been able to wipe the smile of my face for three days that's from Ben and Reggie from one thingy and the weather also did its part Jared it really did if there was a sports heaven I was in it on Friday love the NFL game going to try to get tickets for next year

24:05even though I know nothing about the game oh and Woffey time how brilliant was that and what a game thick from Maruptner fantastic day will never forget Timmy from Mornington went with his brothers from Perth and Tazzy that on Friday was the best of Melbourne what the elected people have done to the city is unforgivable Friday was the most fun I've had at the G in years it was brilliant that's from Fabian after being at the G on Friday it's clear the AFL have to adopt the exterior setup and leave the gates open to allow the crowd to float 100,000 there are no issues at all getting in and out at any stage it has to happen that's told from Armstrong Creek and I always like to find our crankiest person on a Monday Larry from Unley imagine of having your cake and eating it too was about banking not baking Silicon Valley Bank and first citizens bank have created a recipe that blends decades of innovation economy experience with more than a century of stability now you don't have to choose between deep sector expertise and lasting financial security instead you can enjoy them both

25:09Silicon Valley Bank and first citizens bank it's the best of bank worlds why is such a sick of fant towards the NFL we don't all drink the cool aid Larry I take it you weren't there on Friday I'm sorry that you weren't there well down to the bulldogs Jared my house on Saturday was like Christmas morning and as a man in his 50s it was like I was 10 again I love foodie Craig from Longford working class club with a lot of money it seems come on doggies make this one count you finally landed a big fish that's from ash on the tech in cricket you know exactly what the third umpire is looking at and how they come to decision the AFL is not transparent with many things the arc is no different unfortunately that's from Darrell to borrow a new quote from Elbert Einstein the definition of insanity the AFL arc doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result that's from Wayne we went as neutrals on Friday night at Optistatium and my goodness we have never heard of this that loud before finally the doggers supporters have found their voice

26:13it was brilliant and in park of ill in w a I'm 54 and still where my Richmond jumper each week Dean your my sort of guy and test my late dad would wear his North colors until his last day Jared he looked like a North Melbourne runner in all his overseas holiday picks miss that good on your test that's a lovely image to share that's a sweep of your snap judgments are about to get to the means test with Adam Simpson this is waitly for pay.com.au business owners pay.com.au and start earning rewards today. Waitly on se.m. The Monday means test after the semi finals Adam Simpson hello morning Jared had you pull up from the weekend yeah pretty pretty good okay it was a long weekend was for sure it was a long Friday a little nap between the NFL and the footy um but uh great day Simo says well I've heard this before but finals doesn't build character it just eliminates

27:15the weak ones and Adelaide still aren't ready they're not ready so you know the minus 22 contest the possessions at half time 40 points down their best players didn't rise to the occasion like they need a line in the sand moment and that obviously wasn't it and I don't think it was the week before so you compare that to free mantle you know they confronted similar situation this year lose the first final play at home final for the second in the second week and their moment came during the week Jared or it can though either handled the week um same system same leaders doing the same things it was you know back on the bike and they're they're they're lying in the sand moment come with four minutes to go before three quarter time and a start with Luke Jackson so you need any successful era that starts because neither club started there's yet there's a there's a moment so West Coast moment back in the day was the Luke Shui goal after the saw in the year before and then I was like oh we're actually all right here um I'm not quite sure if Adelaide have had there's just yet no recon free mantle might have just ticked that ticked that box on the weekend so

28:20yeah some uh different directions these two teams Adelaide is still searching for this finals doesn't build character it just eliminates the weak one wow yeah that feels like there's a bit of Dennis pagan in that but it's it's true isn't it some of the individuals for Adelaide just didn't I know Brisbane and Brisbane you can say well that was always going to be tough but not ready not ready and Jolong they're sort of built for it so you don't you don't question whether they're ever arrived or not that's whether they just good enough on the night or healthy enough for all those type of things but yeah the clubs trying to get from good to great you can see it live can't yeah it takes years and once you tick over there once Brisbane ticked over a few years ago well seven years ago then it where away and I just wonder if Adelaide yeah it's going to take another year or two before they take that next step and free mantle are they there there was a truth to so we had a reconfigured final system and there was a truth to it the whole way through there were five into four there are only four places in the top four and four places in the preline there were

29:22five and then there was a gap an Adelaide at the other side of the gap we saw that play out yeah yeah all right the big issue for oldam construction lawyers at your defence in building disputes the Brisbane Lions strike back little knock on tap to lowman the man we talked about in the showman get a gold early lowman this showman to leave us on cue and he gets a crowd up and about from the outside so Willas prof drives along inside 50 right now drop the market should have taken bouncing his camera and a little kick towards gold bang bang out the Lions that made a statement already and then bailing off to do his advantage can he get a good bounce he does he takes off he keeps alive and he might kick a contender for gold the night that is an early contender who that free will ask for a short they're out again here maybe a fourth goal in the offing long launch towards the big sticks and it's another ripper and this time it's McLuggish the drills at dunkley to how forward quick hands to Rayna who

30:27takes on the tackler he loads up from 45 this is unbelievable stuff another one on the line they've got five and we've been going three minutes and ten seconds in his match it was extraordinary how little actual game time had a lapse five goals at a later had four kicks and we yeah we'd heard the vibe around how Chris Fagan had been during the week and then we saw the response yeah we did and are we surprised what was surprising was the way he described the week it we think he's fired a few bullets throughout the year they've been cap guns that they've been they've been disappointed at best it's like I'll back you guys in you know what are we going to do there's that that type of feedback I think this week was he got the bazooka out and he said right this is not good enough and he showed the vision what are you going to do about then that it was clearly something he's not comfortable with but he had he had to do it so and then they got the response so it's

31:31just it's good coaching isn't it it's concerning that happens to Brisbane but you can sort of we all understand why you know they've been up for so long and then to start the way they did and unfortunately Adelaide just if that was Jolong and Adelaide did respond there for a little bit and then it sort of went away pretty quickly but the Jolong he got okay so Jolong this happened to North Jolong a few weeks ago same sort of stars oh here we go but you can sort of you could tell that Adelaide weren't equipped to get back into that game and all the players that were down the week before him I thought Brisbane got better at being selfless as the game went I think early on it was just you know it was just bang bang bang bang but as the game went I thought that they started to bring others into the game Jeroon I think that's the missing piece they're always going to get supply they had 18 inside 50s and kicks six goals six in the first quarter but as the game went on I noticed a lot more selfless play and I think that's the missing and greeting as well because they have a lot of shots at goal and sometimes it's the irrational ones you know you're 55 out on the

32:32boundary I just think there's a sense of connection that I hadn't seen for a few weeks so a lot of positives what do you do when that happens as a coach and Nixie didn't have any answers unfortunately neither their players just the art of coaching and what Fags did so it sort of adds to his story and who's to say whether it if it results in the third premiership it's going to be the pivotal piece so last year it was just putting it back together after getting dismantled by too long and how did that look when they met next time around so a lot a lot of strategy in all of that yeah and this was just a bit more blunt yeah which I do think it it adds to his esteem as a coach hey when this was required when it was a time that eyeball them and go you cocky big heads he could do it well he yeah he's got it in him he's got it even clearly but it just hasn't had to use it for a long period of time so last year it was dancing on ice it was a bit of a theme and how can we do this this year it was you know wacky wack and there's no I'm not hearing any themes from Fags at the

33:36moment have you heard anything no no probably in the aftermath will yeah yeah yeah and and the the Zach Bailey situation so during the wake you know does he read the cues himself I wonder if he's gone he played poorly and he started you know when you're a coach sometimes you'll look at someone like Bailey go what are you doing are you going to be here or not and you give them that look and they play you get him when they're vulnerable when they play a bad game that's when they get a sign and stay and I just wonder if there was any type of connection to that so they started the year I sort of put myself I see some players when they come into their free agency years they intend to perform poorly and for me I didn't really want that so I sort of set myself up for a big year at the start of the year and for the first half of the year I didn't want anything to do with the talks I just wanted to go out there and play fully and then after that sort of started to ramp things out there was obviously a lot of interest from from Adelaide and yeah I had to consider that and I always wanted to sound Brisbane I love it here I love the boys we have so much fun and then yeah I don't know I wasn't any rush to sign so then I was playing good fully so

34:43there was no rush to sign and then I don't know after that loss I thought it was probably a good time to sign and thank you for the boys a bit of a boost that loss was just sort of piffing for everyone so I've had that before with a preseason game someone's hold it I might say who it was but it needs a really decent player and he played poorly in a preseason game and I rang him I said is this got anything to do with your contract in the moment I don't know what's going on and he signed within four hours so I don't underestimate the the the poor performance I know he said I've just left it for a long period of time and I wasn't really affecting me but I'd know it out when good luck in he was done he's gone I don't worry about that he's that's that's irrelevant but for for Bali to to commit during the week I thought that was important towards the weekend as well there's that you know the bands sort of still together and he came out and played so well so yeah it's all connected to the out of coaching during the week it you don't dismiss it as a big part of this time of the year and we'll talk about three mana later and what

35:45you do during the week is really important because if you flip it to Nixie you know three more I'm hearing this his theme is win four in a row and we've got three to go and contract talks now out of the window on back sort of thing and no disrespect to him but the different feel can you imagine the feel on the Monday between Adelaide and Brisbane after the winds versus the losses so yeah getting the pliers up in any any league is is a challenge but when you got a few bullets to fire he did a good job really a job and then there's a few other bits and pieces within the game like tie gallop was terrific yeah so in the selection squeeze and all just trying to make the right decision the way it wouldn't have made any difference because they came with the wrong attitude but then you watch tie galloping and that he has to be well who's going out next week that's going to be a big one because someone's going to be very unlucky and that can't be the story for the week though which it sort of was the week before is what you're learning to now this is you know we're going to get the best version of Brisbane this week that's going to be the challenge I think

36:47they will I think they've got over the hump done it before we did it the hard way last year so yeah all the mind games around the performance of the week was important but this week I feel prelims a little bit different you know there's a little bit of strategy in prelim hall 4 they'll get to work at a poor performance against them in round 22 up in Brisbane. Mitch has had an extra week extra week to prepare and and fakes knows what he's doing as well so prelims it's a different beast the prelim whereas these games are a bit more emotion one team's coming off the loss one team going for win there's stories everywhere prelims all about the game and and getting the boys in the right space is pretty pretty easy so last year it was a 53.7 final win this week this year it's a 53.7 final win and then get to the MCGN if you think back to last year's prelim the lines look just about gassed at half time against Collinwood and then just came roaring back and their next six quarters we're imperious what's the secret to Brisbane because we know the talent

37:48and we know the scoring ability the secret's got to be around their pressure and their ability to bring some heat around the contest I think that seems to be the the only KPI they need is how much pressure do you want to put on today and whether that's tackles pre-cleaners pot whatever the number is it feels like when that's on the rest of the game just takes care of itself. The Brisbane line strike back the big issue for autumn construction lawyers you're entrusted in building disputes and experts in construction law the breakdown of Adelaide and then we'll cast our eyes back toward Friday night as well this is waitly for radius telematics manage your fleet with radius GPS trackers visit radios.com now back to waitly. Monday means test without I'm Simpson the best bid for to the brothers funerals of family owned business since 1934

39:02no words needed eight points it is warfe time and make it the goal yeah no words need until God started talking. I was obviously underused by Fremant are there are you used it all year yeah well no time better to use it when you're in your four or nine points up with a minute to go whatever they did but yeah it was the roof blew off when they did it so can they use it in a pre-lim or grandfather they've been allowed to use it in the pre-lim. Grandfolder can they use it unknown yeah they should be I don't know this is all part of it I think look at the NFL and we're not compared to the NFL but they're the little type of things you want to say in here. Best Bits for to be brothers funerals visit tobeenbrothers.com.au tobeenbrothers funerals celebrating lives this is your town this is your station this is waitly the Monday means test after the semi-finals with

40:07Adam Simpson the big issue was Brisbane striking back and thus the pressure index is adelaide close to contention but not in contention. That's like the Muzzle tonight which I've done it was a couple times this year probably gives us a bit of an indication of the work we're still up to do unfortunately but it is part of you know the growth for our group to to pretty deep cut at the moment we're a young group in there they're they're hurting but I think the respect we should show for why they're doing what they can to go with three in a row it's pretty obviously games at a very high level so we look at wounds we'll unfortunately it's a long time till we play our next game so so these ones hurt a bit we have great forward momentum as a football club we're building something quite special we're not there yet and we know we still got a fair way to go but there's no doubt

41:09we're heading in the right direction and we've got the right people around the club I'm blessed to be a part of that and one of the ladies at the club and I'll just keep working it's just back to work. And to close leadership sent out an email to the members yesterday we believe in Matthew Nick's we trust the program he leads and we remain aligned in our vision for the future he will be our senior coach in 2027. Yeah and the pragmatic approach I like I like his press conference is pretty honest and the pragmatic approach around the reality of where they're at is that's real the fact that's taken seven years doesn't worry me because I think you started from the bottom pretty much and what he took over so and but they probably need to reflect on the coaching performance of what they prepared them during the week after the win how long did they soak that up for because that was massive relief wasn't it. They're the preparation for Brisbane and then the game day execution that they carried out and some of this is guesswork Jared's just me looking at the game not knowing the inner sanctum so it could be a little bit off of this to be a few times

42:10back in the day where people could take what we're doing and go no that's not what it happens but let's have a crack at it anyway. So I think they went in the game with a different approach like the the meters game by hand like we've been banging on about that all year and so against the giants the last game before the finals it was minus 86 meters game by handball against the board oaks it was plus 50 meters and on the weekend it was plus 400 meters around that so a distinct change in attitude and if you don't train that and don't bring it and you don't repeat it you don't review it you're not going to be good at it so that's the first thing okay that's different already the second one was there a straight line team especially at Adelaide Oval because it's a skidding ground so let's go straight let's get contest let's get speed off that and if we can go offline a little bit that's fantastic I thought they didn't want to go straight because Harris Andrews and whatever that so they avoided a player and they changed the way they move the ball when they just turn the ball over all the time with either four handballs or trying to peel off kicks in

43:14the corner that weren't on so there's the second piece and the third one was they've got another mode of playing and let's get Dawson behind the play or a wing of slides back and they try and build it up with an overlap sort of situation but you've got to build that up from the back half chair because you have an extra behind the play you're giving an extra in front of the play so they sealed off half time with Dawson just to settle things down so it's a good settler but they started with it in the third quarter so I'd like to know the method behind the madness of that like we're going to have an extra behind the play and then we're going to go with overlap and run but that's not what they do very well so there's always a definitive moment in these finals where as a coach you go do we just back in what we've been doing all year or do we try something different that might just flukus six goal run and they went with the second which is fine sometimes that works and it unfortunately it didn't work they had to try something and they tried the back half blitz which I'm not quite sure if that's going to work when you're trying to take on Brisbane so there's that and then the last piece is just the leaders on the day so not the leaders I'll take that back

44:19the best players so Richelle he's not ready is he he still looks like a boy we need to get him and it's playing like a man rank and you can understand you're going to have a down day but then they try to do a few things with him to free up others and Dawson's been heroic all year so but those you know they need to be playing at their absolute best to beat Brisbane and for whatever reason they weren't at their best so they've got a bit to reflect on from that game as much as the season are they on the cusp do they have forward momentum or are they the wrong side of a pretty significant divide I don't know the journey that their journey Adelaide supporters would know more about it than I would in terms of their journey for a team that has sustained success probably has some failures early and it's just another one of those stepping stones I think that's what they believe with straight sets last year we win a final this year we lose to the maybe the three-peat team you know of the one of the better teams of this era and then we'll have our turn next year or the year after it's a fork in the road isn't it because it can go

45:22that way then it can go the other way and you're six next year and then suddenly you're eighth and then someone leaves and then suddenly you go back to the draft and you've you've had a go and it just didn't work and nicks won't be there if that happens so next year's huge you know last year they had a really good fixture finished top of the ladder they've won more games than anyone last two years but they haven't got a lot to show for it so big year next year yeah so that there's sort of the there's the overall and then you could narrow it if I was to pick one player to be emblematic of what hasn't progressed it would be Seligo so they drafted Seligo and then they gave him the the super contract because he was going to be a plus and he's anchored in so it's going to be rude but yeah he's anchored in sea he's like is he going to be the player that they and this is where credit to them they knew the player they needed it was Zach Bailey and then he tore them apart so they miss him and it looked like probably for the last two months they were going to get him yeah but they miss him and that's where you go so what well if you yeah they're going to

46:27have to get most of their growth from within now so are they going to get it from a player like Seligo there's always going to be another Zach Bailey out there that you they'll be they'll be going after someone next year they'll you know they'll have a swing and they've had it's not like they don't get their players all the time you know three or four their best players are from other clubs so they'll keep having a swing but yeah there's some of those players who you know it's probably time and next year is is a big moment for some of those the Seligo so Curtin is he going to be an inside mid is he going to be a ball you know you sort of his apprenticeship spin on the outside but in the wing bit a half back bit a half forward now he's he's going to do all preseason on ball they're the type of things the ruck work I think the ruck situation wasn't you know the gruntie that we saw last week against draper we didn't say that this week did we so yeah there's a bit of work to do there with their list but I'm always reluctant to talk about the players and the list because you don't really know who's on the cast who's ready to pop who's had a you know an injury interrupted year I think that's for others to judge but the collective

47:30doesn't feel complete just yet that's how I to says it what they got right it was a lovely send-off for text at the end these things aren't necessarily easily done because there's the disappointment the finality and you're a long way from home and it can feel lonely but it was beautifully staged by all involved I thought collective respect for what is achieved on field in particular and I think he's much loved that's probably why Jared you know I think the ability to just see him as he's one of us when you see him you know he's um is this type of guy that uh yeah you know like to have a beer with like to play footy with and I think we've seen him grow up a little bit too I think he's gone through some ups and downs um off field as well looks like a family man which I really respect um yeah so I thought it was it was done really well to what it looks like a person when you see them go from seven eight to thirty five or whatever you can really see them grow as adults and that's part of the coaching journey that you really enjoy when you see the seven and you're all with rough edges leave leave the game with um a fair bit of respect as a as a

48:36applied but more as a person as well so I think that was done really well the crow season tidied up as they bow out in the semifinals for the second year in a row preliminary finals integrity that belongs to free mantle not just for the start of the game but for when they got headed and the last minutes of the third quarter it might be the defining moment of the Justin Long Muir era.

Jackson in front gets the back is a whistle here. It's a Jackson Freak gig. It is a Jackson Freak gig and he comes the kick the kick is outstanding. Young was being held will get afraid

49:42they'll pay advantage. So wrong. Lace out. Tracy! Lift the roof off if we had one. Freemant will rest of the lead away. Jackson again. Taken high no free. Always going to go through again. Get some to boss. Get the other dancers done. Here's a goal! Luke Jackson 30 meters out directly in front. Listen to the fans. If the night was built around a nerve test it looked like for a while they wouldn't need it such was the way that they started they needed it and they got it in and it was I thought most significant it happened inside a quarter it didn't happen off a break they didn't limp to three quarter time and then see if they did it within a quarter and they did it largely through the figure of Luke Jackson. I'm not sure if he's a leader. I think it's a leader way he plays but I'm

50:43assuming he's in the leadership mix in terms of okay what needs to happen in different moments and how to deal with momentum because I think they prepare their on field leaders as good as anyone at how to deal with and last week was was a different set of circumstances they couldn't get that back from Hawthorne but for the most part this year I've seen a three-manal turn a game during the quarter not at quarter time not at half time and quite often it's the Tracy it's the Bray Shore. She's just part of that you know they're back half with Pierce they've just got each lines got leaders. I'm not sure if Jackson sits in that but clearly when Jolong had a go and they had a 12 inside 50 to long for 11 shots. They kicked five goal six back in the game 10 points up and then now where the Jackson said right it's time to put the K-Pon or just be just be ultra predictable and what he does so I just went harder at the ball and young Edwards just in a couple of free kicks here and there Jared just opened the door a little bit to to the momentum of the game

51:43to turn and but Jackson in the third quarter end up having what he had eight touches sick tested four clearances four scoring violence and kick two goals and a lot of it was in last four minutes so he's the drive for show putt for doe player for golf clearance outlet we beat everyone's prices we've already seen what he can do in a short burst in a grand final for Melbourne and he does whenever we do the the X-Factor players or the most likely to be able to shape a preliminary final and grand final he's going to be right at the forefront of all of that. We interviewed him at West Coast he's already gone yeah we'd left there around a little bit too late and he just he panned it to eat my muffins and give the fruit sale and he left and I thought he's not coming to us but what a great get what a great get for for for a frame amount of quiz is young like in trying to get Blitzarves to go against him I thought that was the only home because young Edwards got exposed last time they played and probably so 11 years older yeah yeah so that that I that was the idea

52:44of Blitzarves three years ago he was never going to be able to do the job on Jackson they they classically had what they had and if Jackson did that they were going to be incapable of stopping that yeah and yeah and we heard Jay I'll talk in his press conference about you can tag him but you can't beat him in the rock you can't out jump him you can't out follow up him but you can run around with him if you want you can you can do that and that's that's the belief that he has in his own ability so sometimes talent just takes over to and that that's what happened on in that as much as the latest did their thing I just think the talent stood up and and probably exposed the vulnerability that Jolong had and they were a bit wounded and they were missing a decent ruck that could compete and then an align with that. Like Jackson drive for show, putt for dough for golf clearance outlet we beat everyone's prices golf clearance outlet.com.au so there was the talent issue then then there was the system and this what really caught you is whereas Adelaide might have tried a couple of different things.

53:44Yeah. Three-mountain reverted to what they have done well all year that has made them the best team in the competition. Yeah and sometimes when Jay I'll talk you're not convinced it's got this vulnerability about the way he talks and apprehension sometimes but I'm telling you now they have gotten nothing but the ultimate belief in what they do and it's system-based it's role-based and then it's on field leadership based and to revert so I know and we all know in the game exactly what freeman I'm going to do this week against Sydney. It's just can Sydney stop it and that's when you're in that spot where it's very very clean the week there's no strategy meetings there's no oh by the way we've got this team let's do this now and you know how good that is for a player it's just so good to rock up and go did I do my role? Yes or no? He's he's the off-eigning 10 minutes by the way they love the corridor let's protect it okay now go off and do what you've been doing all year that that's as simple as it'll be this week I reckon that's what it was last week after the loss we're in a way from a few things yeah we got worked out here and there a few players down let's just do what we do and and that's that's the

54:48beauty about system versus strategy in these big weeks. Yeah so I played the grab a little earlier on but Ab normal with the extra week a lot of time to think about it talk of home preliminary finals cut before the horse we had to get back to what we've done all year and make amends yeah I think playing a preliminary my wife from home is good for free mental with what they had to do in dual the supporters for the last 30 years I felt like they turned up on the weekend and they were part of the solution but the the nerves would have been there especially when you long come back so that's sort of the only difference I see with other teams that that free out at the moment dealing with this supporter base and this state that's like you know are they is this going to be free mental again or are we really ready they'd look so ready with their personnel on their system and their belief but it's just that's why I think it's pretty much away from home is probably going to be a good thing for them. PFI and they'll run favorites in Sydney which we're going to come to as we go there's some good stuff between the lines there the analysis of Jolong the curiosity of the cats comes next without him Simpson for city power Melbourne's weather a shower to a top of 19 before bad weather

55:52hits be prepared and sign up for sms outage alerts all at citypower.com.au this is the Monday means test without him Simpson waitly for Hyundai it's game on it Hyundai we can score great offers on a range of new and demonstrated models. Waitly on SEM in some ways this game was symptomatically our season that bit a lot of things went wrong we found ourselves behind the eight ball at various times and found a way to hang in and give ourselves a chance so you know the what when we look back at our season I think tonight will be a bit of a reflection of the overall season there are a lot of teams in history that after a start like that would have turned up their toes and been beaten badly obviously were being outplayed but hang in and give ourselves a chance late in the game you know in some ways be a fraction unlucky at at various times I think he's a credit to our players the curiosity of the cats as they finish in the semifinal and there was an absolute

56:57truth that I was interesting Chris went into his coach and said I want to start here rather than do the rest because I think he wanted to say this is great the narrative yeah yeah I wasn't blind away by the narrative but it is what it is I mean they they did the same thing early in the year they got blind away with the numbers but they're in the game you know they're efficiency in the front half that third quarter what we spoke about it was you know 12 inside 50s for 11 shots and they got jumped by hungry free manor side the Senate bounce scores was ridiculous there's 30 shots of goal this for the two games it's all 30 shots of goal nine in goals 11 from the middle and this game was you know seven goals three to three oh to six goals one from gelong so that's that's I don't know what percentage of the score that is that's significant so well coached well drilled they got back into the game because they've done it before and they know the rhythm of finals and how it all works but in the end they fell short and it was a story of this season they just couldn't quite get everyone together at once in a legitimate way where they were top four

58:03so just a bit off this year and through circumstances so what does that mean for the future Jesus I reckon they needed butters yep yeah they're about as short and homes and Cameron they just couldn't get them at their best and will we see Cameron get back to his best next year I think they're all thinking probably but there's going to be a time where the 60 goals turned into 30 but yeah just gelong did gelong this year again and I'm not sure the umpiring was the difference on the weekend you've had a few calls today um those were sort of despised the hour that's that's separate to the out of the game yeah and so gelong season you're not going to put that down to that but you know they'll obviously um they're in the game absolutely yeah but the the numbers suggest you know they're minusated contested position minus 13 at clearances inside 50s minus 13 they'll just really efficient in the front half and found a way to stay involved in the game so well under them but just just a bit short at the moment so that they're they deal in preliminary finals they set the whole thing up to be preliminary

59:06finals and this year they don't make it and the lingering question is how do they get back there for the reason that you've identified as the older players are all one year older they have a critical mass in the middle now homes and Smith are at the forefront of that and we've seen near obviously Dempsey's now in all Australian we've had a first glimpse of Polkin Horn so they have they aren't defined by their older players but their older players are going to be a year further all well aren't they like it who's going to lead the charge for the next flag for gelong it's not danger isn't no no it's it's homes and Smith so part of this year was could they move the team to the care the custody yeah homes and Smith I think when they played their best footy that's not enough that homes got injured that's not enough you need five or six so and I'm sure that's the butter's conversation we had before but and I don't know the list profile so this is a bit dangerous but young kids yeah some talent coming through yet some

1:00:12legendary players legacy players yet but who's the 27 to 31 year olds that that drive everything whether it's your culture your locker room or your on field performance that's and that's the you need a lot of them Jared I don't think just the two's going to cut it so it would be interesting they'll find a way I'm assuming to get that stacked a little bit but the players coming into that age bracket and probably more you're you're really good honest be great role players now is that enough you always need your stars so have they got enough in the next two or three years they don't have it they'll go get it so let's that's pretty obvious how they they do think so yeah it's always dangerous to criticize gelong because it'd been so good for so long but that's probably what they're dealing with at list management would you bring in Raleigh Marshall and Toby Green I gelong will and wouldn't say I would yeah so whatever they need to do to stay in contention for the prelim they'll do and that's that's that's just been there for such a period of time it's been so successful so most teams of competition would say if if

1:01:14those your club yeah we weren't all right this year we were one of final and we lost the chance to play in a prelim it's almost like while they failed failed so gelong supporters have been spoiled but you know I think security would die for that so it's just an interesting proposition along the expectations are so high the curiosity all the cats will get to the debate in a moment Maca's new cheesy range here's Nathan the newsroom Nathan thank you the debate for sportsmart don't miss the million dollar cricket warehouse sale in Marabbon and online at thecricketsale.com.au this is a spin-off who needed Zack butters more well I thought the cats needed more and not often they miss out on their man so well done to the bulldogs that that campaign I'm sure it's been protected a certain degree Jared but it's more than just money isn't it it's what how they went about it and how they collectively got their man you got you can't have a being pressed with from everything I'm hearing around you know the way they spoke to the

1:02:15players proximateger dealt with poor dad laid obviously is a bulldog supporter all those sort of things and then obviously the money at the end is the money is the money you know so but right onto the bulldogs but I felt like gelong might have needed him a bit more so talk to me about the bulldog scenario with butters in us well it's going to be a magnificent starting line up then the challenge for the bulldogs is to get everyone on the park like they did the start of the year so who's there accrued next year butters Darcy butts will come into their defense yep yeah the defense needs a bit of work but I still think the jury's out with the the bottom six or seven players which is not new for that's not a new conversation but that doesn't fix that other than they might never go into their back line that's probably the plan English where's he at you know I thought he might have been on the out so once again was that part of the strategy just so strategy to say English is going to be your rockman you know is that all part of it so he's desperately needed when he doesn't play and when he plays it's why we should trade him that's what it feels like

1:03:20it didn't have a great final series he needs to go away and have a you know a real think about what he wants to get out of his career in the back half you know how bad does he want it so yeah I think the future's bright what do we do with Bevo do we now it feels like it's a reload so does he is he now part of the next journey which I'm sure perhaps that was the plan but you never know Bevo might have been okay been here a long time when's it when's it long enough but it feels like there's a rejuvenation you I can't say the word rejuvenation rejuvenation of perhaps what he's been trying to do for the last three years is transition this list and he's been doing it under the criticism because of the top end talent but the bottom 15 players have been evolving so that hasn't changed but butters makes it a bit better and dars you make it better and maybe a buttswill so what is our expectations of the board dogs next year from one player coming into the team that'll be interesting it's probably not for today but it's already be pretty high expectations yes well they're they have to harbor top four expectations bringing butters in

1:04:22is they've been harboring those expectations privately anyway and not being so they live on the breadline they always live on the breadline they this is the move and this is what I admire about it you have to swing big in the modern era and you have to pick the right swing this is clearly the right swing yep but there's two things they can't be defined by anymore at the first sign of injury that they they drop off first sign of injury they they're suddenly young and in the spirit that hast that profile has to change lots of injuries though dude but yes I think we know not if you if you track it back they were four and zero yep they hadn't lost Darcy at that stage and that that the first hint of injury there suddenly their profile shifts so dramatically and they can't be defined in these big finals by their bottom six no who are threadbale yeah we have to compare them to jolong because we're doing that the jolong handle the injuries a little bit better that's them down weeks they prioritize the wins they think they can get and then the end you know

1:05:23they they go an extra week so that that's probably if you had to compare the two jolong handle their their injury is a little bit better with the depth whereas the bulldogs you know if those top seven play every week you know what's the expectations you're still going to have to rely on the on the bottom seven ten fifteen whatever you want to call it so I don't know where they're at with them feels like sometimes they're they're ready to go they're going to be good solid b-plus and then sometimes it's him I get delisted this year so another preseason I think there's some real growth with their kids and then now this divide imagine day one a preseason if they're all there I'm laying in available it's like oh hang on a second who's in midfield coach there Brenda laid I'll see you in September just have five months off it's don't get him injured that's all it's stacked there so the bulldogs and the sense of excitement yeah that uh is in that community the doggy supporters are up and about shortly oh they have to be now yeah it's an interesting so the

1:06:24doggy supporters are split into two camps those who are weary of beverage and those who believe in him absolutely so this it this he needs to unite those two camps and so the way you've described right I think is right this is the fresh percent we're all in this now with this is the strategy that we chose and away we go what would you do with better I would extend him significantly not just a year I just go this is the new mission um so I'd lock him in for 27 28 29 yeah right let's get this to work we we gave a picture of stability now we're going to live with the stability let's get to work they're great that the bulldogs are now I'm not saying they weren't relevant all that just been a you know they're in that the bracket where they're just competing to to to get the best players and they can attract someone like butters have the presence with the talent they've got and then now they're all in it's it's so good it's good for the competition the debate for sports mart don't miss the million dollar cricket warehouse sale in merabin and online at the cricket sale dot com dot a you've got some nice box craft from the semi finals to share with us next and we'll

1:07:26have a glimpse into dattle and and see what happened there this is wailey for pay dot com that are you business owners pay dot com dot a you at and start earning rewards today want to have your say ring jerry on 13736736 now back to weightly we we went out we went to a call to try and get the ball a little bit tighter and didn't want to muck around with it too much and tried to get deep entries and get the game played now for a half and we just we just couldn't get that in the third quarter um anytime we had the ball we'd like to be to dare and we're kept on kicking it shall entries so it was it was more about getting some deep entries can't always plan for a couple of three kicks at 450 stopgages but what we're able to do is just play the game in our front half and put some pressure on jolong in that sense which that had the first 20 minutes done that to us and um yeah we against jolong this year when we've played front half we were about our score and that was the case

1:08:28box craft simmo loves nothing more we went to a we went to anchor was the rest of that sentence well they've got a they've got a sign they hold up um when they're under the pump or they want to close out a quarter and it's just an anchor sign and clearly anchor is um everyone every coach has got to call around controlling the game and how do you control the games here what happens when you've lost momentum and you want to try and seal off a game or control a little bit differently it's um it's deep entries versus shallow entries so if you've got a choice ignore that leading tracy and go to the sliding um kicker it's less humble um it's less corridor it's more down the line if we get a stoppage it's great so you'll see uh down the line play with tracy doesn't try and market but he punches it over the boundary line and you think why is he doing that for while they're in anchor so he went when we went to uh then he explained what it was so he'd give up a little bit um uh jolong that press conference and um yeah so obviously that was one that they went to front half footies spoken about a lot and that's what it is what he what else did you find in box craft

1:09:30well the Brisbane game or the free mental game i do free oh well well yeah well you know i thought the way that they handled everything from from the start of the game with um free mental ability to start well in the middle in particular um yeah they don't have a lot of box craft about them that Jared because they just play system so they've got the anchor sign and then they've got the way they play so i don't i don't think they live in dutland in the box um the way they execute if they take on the corridor too much or not enough they can explain that to the players pretty easy but they didn't have a massive amount of issues did they know of 30 points up a quarter time and the only time they had to pull a few levers is when the the game got under the pump in the third quarter so pretty much the anchor is their main source of box craft situation they've got a few tagging options but they don't use that very often you had boss on Stuart that's notable on it is something that they do every week yeah so um it didn't work against Sicily last week didn't and it was just a bad bad day for boss and i don't like the the puffed out

1:10:32pony um i like what's a what's a ugly donkey i like the donkey not the pony yeah yeah so when you bring the donkey came out and um did a really good job on Stuart started well early when you tag as a forward you and you're playing on these game readers like a Stuart or harry sander you play them from behind if you can and you try and get them to go for a ball you'll take a risk and just peel forward a little bit and then you might get one over the back and suddenly they've got to think do i have to go i can't go for this ball time this guy's getting me from out the back so his first mark i think he took was just slightly out the back and then Stuart got rattled i i i never seen him as rattled as that when you tag him though over the course of time he doesn't like it you know and you go up to the wing and you do these things so and can we'll say this more than anything you've got to tag Stuart when you play it's along and it doesn't happen as often as it probably should so really good job from the box craft point of view but that's not it's it's not new that's what he so i'm just trying to think he'll go to this wake or he just play who is the rebounding probably i don't have one key forward so a key defender

1:11:37but yeah well done from from jay off from a prep point of view and they prepped Stuart really well box craft from the lions well fakes gave up a little bit too and he's press conference so you know they had three tags didn't they so they had lester they had dunkey and who's the elm and mechan and mechan so mechan has been sneaky tagging all year as a fold so millora and when you're watching the game you go millora has really damn much tonight and he's the type of guy that will kick a couple on you so really good and lester on michelle now that wasn't a hard day just play on him uh we spoke off we had briefly about who's not quite ready for finals young players and it looked like michelle wasn't quite ready and then dunkey for as much as dunkey just does this every week as well he goes to um ranken and just keeps him quite two positions in the first quarter ranken and never really got going i thought one of the box crafts against adelaide was they tried to get maybe um ranken to go to lock your near or to free up and yeah that didn't work so dunkey would do

1:12:38it every week um they always tag with a half for every week and then lester's a he plays on the best forward so not new but they worked from box craft darland is this is where wolfie time in in darland wolfie time was a thriller well darland says jolong were up until vosky that last goal um on the siren almost so they were five points up so darland says that that um fair one by point something like that well imagine that imagine if that was the uh center bounce darland yeah so and that probably just came down to jolong's missed opportunities in the third quarter when they kicked six points the between the lines this is excellent here just a long meaw laying claim to underdog status it doesn't really make it a unique challenge for for me i just watched what they did against prisman clearly didn't seem like they missed any of those players they played a fantastic selfless brand of footy um yeah and they all go over there as underdogs and

1:13:44they'll be really confident after they win against prisman and they'll be heavy favorites on their home deck but yeah we'll go over there and give it our best nope nope there's a lot of things jolong's but he's not a salesman he can't convince me of that okay but back against war boys us against them david versus galife but uh no that uh i'm not buying that um not buying that jail no they're heavy favorites the docker's yeah isn't it the sliding doors moment when the docker's were on the wrong side of the draw thinking they're gonna have to play prisman all of a sudden it's flipped um as a coach you do have preference don't don't oh we'll play anyone anywhere no no no no let's play the most vulnerable side ahead of the top four we're just the same as supporters Jared we're hoping for injuries you know oh no we want to play against the best none of that rubbish hope there's plenty of injuries and we play the worst team in the top four and this was fags between the lions on his spray well this was the first time she uh no i know there's been some other

1:14:45guys and we haven't played all that well but we've sort of went down different pathways after after those games but um now this was the first time this year probably where it was uh it was a pretty fierce week well i only dany daly pregame we asked him about the spray and he said oh well i was really surprised that barely signed because he copped an almighty spray in the in the monday meeting so after the monday meeting balyskade to dany daly can we catch up i've got something to tell you and dany's an oh no fags it's fags to push them out and it was a reverse psychology oh it was smart as well don't fags smart as all right i've only left 60 seconds for this deliberately the misread so the afl says the arc was right insufficient intent the epl overnight had a bad one with the a r and they simply put out a statement declaring error of judgment and they'll be ringing the club to apologize yeah it was wrong it was a wrong it was human error wrong not arc wrong no no they're all the same semi the arc operator you can't separate the operator from the arc

1:15:50he's running he's get better humans that's what you've got to get better get better humans get better humans yeah that's uh it's pretty clear i think the arc i think we'll get better and better give me another ten years ten years yeah okay ten years there will be no humans we just get a i to do it well 100% that'll be happening i wonder if we've ever have we are we should do that for us that's a how long it'll take before a i takes over the arc let's i think we should feed the vision to our respective a i's and ask them never done that in his and videos okay something new for us all right all right seedings our last seedings of the season come next this is waitly for radius telematics manage your fleet with radius GPS trackers visit radius dot com waitly on se the seedings from Australian outdoor living dream backyards for all seasons we both had the four i got some work to do with my settings you've had the four largely the whole way three four it's all though you did accidentally drop Hawthorne at the wrong time yeah i think i had the top four

1:16:54picked like around ten yeah anyway just shut the gate on the keep mercy it says that's your mind but i've got some work to do i've been all over the shop this year um i horthon for i have Sydney for horthon three Brisbane two and i got free mantle at one so that's another change free okay that's the way it is yeah i had Brisbane one last week so they're just holding at one i got horthon two free mantle three Sydney four yeah so i think Sydney or the the outside is as expected so the grand final for you so for me it's free mantle Brisbane so doing the seedings seating well i've got Brisbane free mantle but i've got other way around i've got my favorite the favorite will be the winner of Brisbane Hawthorne okay and i've got free mantle as underdogs come the grand final i'm thinking for a i might go all the way so we're pretty much saying you're going to go Brisbane to win the flag i'm going free mantle yep nice yeah so Hawthorne all lift the cup and we'll race because it's there again okay right okay Sydney go

1:17:55well we've Sydney did that wouldn't that how the afl go with Sydney we're in the flag oh it's a lot of good conversation now we'll hear more about Sydney shortly they've chosen their captain for their remainder of their finals campaign now with cala mills out of business and terrific sima thank you see you Thursday our seedings for Australian outdoor living from blinds to kitchens because life's best moments happen outdoors every season this is your station this is wadley a sweep of your texts after the Monday means test the 40 wings tempered text is 04390 1116 find your personalized bedtime solution with our friendly neighborhood sleep advisers 40 wings serious about sleep Jared you can't have Brisbane first and Hawthorne second if Brisbane first that means they are beating Hawthorne which means free mantle or Sydney go to second just saying Tony so you must be new to this Tony I can have my seedings any way I want them to be and you can have your seedings any way you want them to be in my mind I think the winner of Brisbane

1:18:56Hawthorne wins the flag so just saying Tony just saying maybe the dogs fans can lay off bevow now clearly was instrumental in getting butters over the line Buku was huge getting butters across also you can't extend beverage to 2029 is done nothing since the ground final lost five years ago and he want to guarantee him three more seasons that's bad decision making I think the dogs could benefit from a fresh face and voice Bernie getting Zach was like a winning the final this doggy supporter is up up up and about I believe Zach smooth to the bulldogs was a gift to his parents he followed his heart bevow top four or out in 2027 that's from John snap jute late snap judgment this is from Alan as a north member I'm buying a dog's membership to help pay for butters because he didn't end up at the cats very nice and this is from Pat the arc has saved us from some horrific howlers stop your ridiculous arc die tribe Jared it runs it close to 99% you don't

1:19:57him at that I love it it wasn't definitive the Dempsey girl wasn't touched just move on for reasonably only a rift is for a reasonably intelligent bloke read the room no one is with you because you're getting tiresome now mate oh he mated me come on Pat's actually I the vast majority are with me Pat on the text machine this morning but I honestly don't care whether people agree with me or not and for you to say the arc of runs at 99% you haven't been watching yeah me watching Pat you have to keep it just to the contentious decisions not to the random airy fairy ones that go up which are clearly just patting the numbers I reckon they run 50% on the contentious stuff this year and that's just not good enough it's not good enough and never has been mate don't make me Pat come on we have to be on better terms than that and Rob AI could do the arc now it does in tennis and largely cricket too oh no it doesn't in cricket we despair across the summer at some of what

1:20:59goes on particularly from the older umpiring brigade who don't really have a grasp on technology and what they're seeing so no I'm not I'm not having that tennis excellent it's the one sport that has been immeasurably improved by technology the rest it's just been a a creep a creep imagine a left brain and a right brain got together and came up with an incredible banking solution the innovative minds at Silicon Valley Bank and the pragmatic ones at first citizens bank have put their heads together so they can deliver solutions tailored to your unique financial needs you want deep innovation insights paired with the financial power of a top 20 US bank now you can have it Silicon Valley Bank and first citizens bank it's the best of bank worlds righto 40 wings temper tech zero four double three nine eight eleven sixteen the differences temper we're in the studio for vanguard when did you last compare your super tomorrows joins us

1:21:59on a Monday for Alex Scott and staff to sell your livestock or sell your home hello do you talk Jared I really enjoyed that it's amazing the thing that got you most fired up from all these text messages was being called mate of all of the made me anyway let's get to the swans of announce their captain for the remainder of this finals campaign yes the standing captain for the Sydney swans is Dane rampie who has the potential to fulfill an incredible career arc if it is to be his last year so he's lost he's been part of four losing grand finals he wasn't in the leadership group he's been parachuted into captain a prelim final and potentially a grand final and potentially a premiership in what could be his last two games of football this was a decision made jointly by calum mills and den cocks and then ratified by other leaders at the club so it just adds to this incredible storyline at the Sydney swans the whole Dane rampie situation as well it was him or row bottom and they've gone with Dane rampie yeah what do you think

1:23:00whatever whatever they need this is not one I have an opinion on whatever they need is totally fine for their environment and I love the story arc yeah the story arc would be imagine him holding up the premiership cup in his last game having lost four and not even having a leadership role this year until a fortnight before the grand final anyway they got to win this week first so two potential big ins macaroni is expected to come back from his injuries at hamstring troubles so one will have to go out for him and then joley marie was available last time does he come back in and if he doesn't come back in you you potentially have someone that Carlton is offering a million dollars a year by five sitting in the stands watching so how they format this forward line is something the den cocks has been weighing up all years a bit of trial and error so that will be interesting as well from a selection perspective they've been calls aren't they massive calls well macaroni will come back in it a marie's not a lock a marie's not a lock no no they're both being out for so long you have to be incredibly careful at this time of year yep the feeling is that macaroni though will

1:24:01yes given the well mills out that makes perfect sense they're still big calls to ask a play perform in a preliminary final of such a long break they are I watched the Hawthorne prelim final on the weekend and kalsha dear was excellent I don't think that there's any room for him in this Hawthorne team though had a prelim final and we talk about Freo's injury list this year jared and how clean it's been almost for the entire season Hawthorne has one player of their best 23 who won't play in the prelim final and that's kind of Nash is out for the rest of the year with that neck injury yep so they've got an almost a full book to choose from so Mitch Lewis is fine um he trained fully yesterday there was some concerns around his shoulder that's not an issue Ned Reeves has a larynx issue he didn't play in the VFL but he's expected to be fit for VFL or AFL this week I think more likely VFL given two rucks hasn't necessarily been something that Sam Mitchell has done but nevertheless he should be fit for the VFL grand final Jack Scrimshaw had a knee concern he played VFL and played very well but again there might not be

1:25:04room for him in this team after the win in the qualifying final um so the Hawke's team is just set up and ready to go isn't it against the Brisbane Lions team that's set up and ready to go it's so enticing it one prelim final you have Hawthorne will almost know injuries the other prelim final you have free with almost no injuries and as they say um health is wealth and it's exactly how it's played out with those two teams and there's three teams that are stacked as free mantles healthy as well and we know Sydney's scenario and what they're trying to overcome so if Sydney did it that's it would be all time for all sorts of reasons yeah the stories of Richard that the story of the Hunts are incredible yeah and then Brisbane chasing a three-peat so I mentioned Cal Shadea he's caught up with Collinwood um we know they've been interested for a while they are prepared to offer a deal similar to Melbourne in terms of years maybe on a little bit more money than what the demons are offering he's weighing up his options after Sammie had been reported that his deal from Hawthorne was 250 by two which I think some around him have considered frankly

1:26:04insulting you know given given his value on the open market but nevertheless he's still a chance of his stays at the Hawkes so Jolong is the other club into Cal Shadea I think Collinwood is less likely now even though they've caught up with him because they already have Jesse Hogan so Lisbots are important and do they want to bring in Hogan and Cal Shadea that's something they'll they'll weigh up at the end of the year but he's he's been an excellent VFL form and the fact he can't break into this Hawthorne team is um is quite incredible but I guess he can't second-ruck like what yeah like what Marbi our troll does and that's probably what cost him a spot in that team all right you did this on fireball but for those who went with us earlier this morning and for Bulldogs fans in particular who up up up yeah and where all they should be just lay out the Zack Buddies timeline for us so it's I can't say it any other way and I can't understand it that about three and a half weeks ago the dogs believe they were out and Jolong believe they're in both clubs were given information by the Zack Buddies camp that that was the way it was trending and without it being confirmed

1:27:05that's what then prompted the Western Bulldogs to orchestrate what I'm calling a full court press this is an entire club project to win Zack Buddies over from the president down president CEO who's a former list manager the footy boss who's a former list manager the list manager himself who has a connection with the poor adelaide football club Michael Reagan having been there for 10 years Buku calm is resigning Tim English not going anywhere Marcus Bontan-Pelley involved as well other people at the start of the club involved I don't think I've ever seen a full club project quite like this but they got their man and he did a butters did a medical at the Western Bulldogs on Friday it was then that the dogs were informed by Peter Lenton his manager that he had chosen them but the dogs were still a bit cautious at this time because there'd been a bit of flipping and flopping as they'd been accustomed to the previous few weeks and on Saturday morning that's when as we discussed on crunch time Zack Buddies started contacting Western Bulldogs players Buku calm

1:28:08as Marcus Bontan-Pelley I think Riley West maybe a few others as well and Jolong was informed before they got on the plane on the way home from Perth Jolong are very disappointed they thought they had him so it's not just the fact they missed out it's the thought they had him in missed out which hurts more it's a bigger drop and the deal was less than the Western Bulldogs by at least a couple of minden depends who you speak to on this but we will know the Western Bulldogs deal because they have to submit that as part of the free agency proceedings so inevitably that deal gets out just like when the exact winners are being paid at Carlton we should know exactly what this deal is and how it's structured at the Western Bulldogs it is their biggest ever deal it's the AFL's biggest ever deal long long term and and worth around 17 to 18 million dollars so that's how it'll play down and to say that the dogs are ecstatic isn't a complete understatement yeah this football club is celebrating like they've won a flag and so they should because they put a lot of time and effort into this yeah they they you got to take big swings and this was a swing worth taking that's right and Jordan butts Jordan butts is expected according

1:29:11to people everyone around this situation expects Jordan butts to request not request nominate the Western Bulldogs as his home next year as a free agent so exit meetings this week at the crows he's only played I think eight or nine senior games this year they're looking for defensive options the Western Bulldogs they've offered a five year deal worth seven hundred to seven hundred fifty thousand dollars a year and it would now be a huge shock to everyone if you didn't nominate the dogs as he's preferred home so those exit meetings will commence this week at the crows and also I watch on Nick Murray and whether he requests a trade to North Melbourne he's contracted so the crows have the whip hand there but you can expect that in the same week they'll get confirmation from butters and confirmation from Jordan butts in addition to Sam Darcy coming back in this people are pretty excited about the dogs next year yes they they are different what ones are top five player in the competition and the other can't get a game freeze current club that they are different coos are completely different I'm said it's somewhat facetiously as well but nevertheless they

1:30:11have targeted a defensive option and they've got it after they've tried to get Cal Wilkie last year they couldn't convince him try to get Martin couldn't convince him both in contract it looks like they've got one now how valuable that is remains to be seen but nevertheless they resigned Arty Jones they told Tim English he's saying they're not booked with commerce they get sack butters things are working well for them names pointed out quite well here that that text that who says the arc operates at ninety nine percent must have been Andrew Dylan on his spare phone there's Pat masquerading as someone from headquarters by the way it's still better to be mated than being champed oh yeah yeah that's a fair point yeah champs the worst different a champ yeah you don't really want anything there was an episode of afl 360 where razor ray chamberland mated Gary line and Gary line mated him back and I could see everyone squirming off to the side that's become iconic vision as well good fun good fun all right thanks Tom thank you thanks Jerry Tom Morris whether it's selling your livestock or selling your home contact Alex Scott and stuff today the NFL it's it's the first Sunday of week one so massive games there's been an absolute scoring spree

1:31:17Aaron Cipos points bets pull them available on prime time NFL games what are you really gambling with Aaron great to have you in the program thanks for having me Jerry yeah it's a it's a big week one that's for sure what did you think of Friday just before we move on oh just just incredible I what a what a special occasion the build up was fantastic the Melbourne crowd came up in numbers yeah let's uh I'm sure this is going to continue but what a what an incredible day a scoring spree today the bears scored 59 points um the panthers 37 I know that's the Texans and bills game caught your eye oh yeah the bills and Texans game I thought was definitely the match up for the round I was a bit shocked it was the it was the 3am one to be honest two teams definitely are going to be fighting for a spot not just in the playoffs but honestly for for a super bowl and um what a cracking game that was Josh Allen was it is absolutely best and uh the Texans had a chance to be

1:32:18able to get home but um uh CJ Stroud fumble unfortunately ended that and the and the bills get off to a 1 and a start and there was an absolute ripping game and the charges of stumbled coming out of the gates losing to the Cardinals which is an unexpected result yeah I mean honestly there was a lot of people that were expecting the Cardinals not to win a game this this year um you know they drafted obviously a young a young rookie in in love and he had a really good day um Jacobi percent really managed the clock well and came up with some big players when they needed to and yeah honestly it's a disappointing start for the charges because many of them have uh many of them haven't really competing in the AFC Western for a playoffs spot so um they'll need to bounce back pretty quickly but certainly one they expected to win at home and uh a bit of a shock for them and the game happening at the moment the giants lead the cowboys early seven points to Neil just the high scoring nature of it Aaron uh imagine if we got a game here that was 36 31 or something like that oh it would have been unbelievable I mean yeah you've got the you've

1:33:22got the Ravens score and 41 obviously the bills and Texans as I said 36 31 the bears 59 to 37 the Jags put up 34 the bangles 33 to 27 and and and the Viking's drop 39 as well so there was some serious high scoring which I hope that continues um I don't expect it too but I would love it too but um yeah there was there was a cracking week one and uh you know maybe the second half it opens up a little bit for this cowboy giants game so defense seems to be playing a bit of a part the cowboys are the goal line right now though so you might see him cross the line pretty quickly and make it seven all we'll we'll see how it opens up in the second half who's it bigger four this game the cowboys are the giants oh I think it's bigger for the cowboys um they they've worked really hard here to give them they're really can paid in the NFC Eastern um you know they've loaded up obviously they've got some real good talent on the offensive loaded up on their defense knowing that that was their struggle spot last year um so yeah I they're definitely expecting big

1:34:23things this year so I think they need to get this one done on the road pretty early Aaron it was great to see you throughout last week we'll done on all that you did for that Melbourne game and the spectacle that we saw and I look forward to talking to you throughout thanks Jared I'm much appreciated Aaron Sipos points bets pull for NFL a leg lacking heat in your prime time sgm pull it with points bets what are you really gambling with for free and confidential support visit gamblinghelponline.com.au the wisdom and experience a Robert credit comes up next for city power Melbourne's whether a shower to a top of 19 before bad weather hits be prepared and sign up for sms outage alerts all at citypower.com.au this is waitly for Hyundai it's game on it Hyundai where you can score great offers on a range of new and demonstrated models now back to waitly every Monday we get to tap into the wisdom and experience of Robert credit hello to your crash can I Jared you were have you declared the lines over the line yet that's what I want to know

1:35:24not over the line but I am holding faith with the mode I didn't waiver and I thought they would do that on Saturday night but crash I I was there at the gabbo I can't remember the last final after seven minutes to end oh this is over yeah yeah it's amazing wasn't and I I tell you the underrated acorn on their seat was a column by David King late last week which ripped the team to shreds and their attitude and it really hit the mark Jared I know it was a huge talking point within the camp he for those who didn't said he come out and basically said do you think Harris entries will be strong enough to get locking Neil to pull his head out of his backside he said what about will ash cry for his Instagram posts about the Australian all Australian snub there's no eye and team but there is in will and then he said Zach Bailey have you noticed he's trying to improve his worth to addelaide by running really well offensively but not so much defensively and it was a huge and I just think sometimes we underestimate the power of a searing piece of

1:36:25journalism and outstanding bit of work I thought it was and I actually spoke to someone from the lines and I said what did you make of it and they just said there was a silence and they said oh he's obviously got his sources hasn't he and that that's that's tacit confirmation that he was spot on the lines with a big response oh well now they'll they'll they'll do the rest of it at the mcg from here what has the town feeling about them in Brisbane oh really optimistic you know as in terms of and it's not an arrogant so I think like that Jared it's just that they they tread this journey last year didn't they and sometimes a little wake up call at the start of the finals can be good for a top team and and they enjoy the mcg remember those years with the lines couldn't win there and then suddenly they turned it around and became their sort of like that the you know their little field of dreams to the got some nice memories there so look and it's not a reckless arrogance or anything like that but just a feeling and we often talk

1:37:26about them compare them to the Hawthorne teams the 1980s don't we as in they might just get a little bit hot and cold throughout the season come September bang bang bang and just maybe that's the feeling that they can really do this because if they get through Hawthorne and they're playing you know the winner of swan swan's in a very nervous frio well you know you wouldn't mind being on that on that uh your card would you no no you wouldn't ab the NRL so expansion both codes are embarking on expansion your most recent expansion in the NRL was the dolphins and in year four they're into a prelimp they are they've gone 13th 11th 9th and at the guaranteed at least 4th and they they beat Auckland the warriors in Auckland and it was a really big victory there a bit like let's just say gelongger they're out on the base on the regolith peninsula and they love it in the shadows they just quietly they don't get enormous publicity

1:38:33and yet guess what they've won eight 16 of their last 18 games they can easily win this but here's the challenge for NRL teams when you get to the top like that a lot of your players you paid them unders on the way up then their reputations grow they've got about a dozen players like that they're all off contract at the end of next year so they have to pounce now the dolphins need they're in the preliminary final they need to to win the next two and it would be a stunning premiership in their fourth year they're a I like them as a club gerat because they're non-wingers they just get on in life they're they're uncontroversial they you go at their training and it's a really light mood they're sort of laughing at the end of training and all this and the players will live down in a little water estate down there which which they go to the same coffee shops they're really tight there's a UFC fight on the leagues club you'll see 11 of them sitting together just drinking water I like that sort of team they're tight they're they're a good team

1:39:34just a reminder where is red cliff crash red cliff peninsula it's it's about 30 minutes outside the north outside Brisbane on it's out on a peninsula I went to school there right and loved it it was back in the 1970s it was a sleepy little sort of place red cliff and scabra but now it's that they rugby leagues been associated with that area forever they've produced some brilliant players like Arthur Beatson the first indigenous captain of Australia and when they they chose really well to give the new franchise to the dolphins I tell what they did gerat everyone said call yourself the red cliff dolphins they said no no no no we just going to be called the dolphins because you want fans to come throughout Brisbane and and we all bag it I criticised at the time that I was wrong the dolphins have taken their brands throughout Brisbane and it's a lot of kids like it because they like dolphins a lot of women like it for some

1:40:35reason you know they're very popular so they've done really well they're not as popular as the Broncos but they've got a really good following across the city in the state four years to a premium so a picture of expansion in the NRL and how that will look in the AFL and Tazzy comes in and there's a couple more coming in the NRL righto there's a lot of cricket to deal with the the full fallout from the privatisation press conference last week outside but not facing the SCG which had its own dynamic to it will run all that past Robert Cratic in a tick. Maca's new cheesy range his mate in the newsroom. I performing players in finals she's Castro and Joyless the performers experts trust. The ground is Smith Bolton Jackson with Kasky and pass back to Bolton busy straightens it up she sells a bit of candy 55 out let's try to keep the number one. Yes he has that is brilliant

1:41:39absolutely brilliant by Bolton strumming him brilliant all in one she's Castro and Joyless the performance experts trust Gosto in a language all of his own bless him high performance finals players I've been looking forward to this conversation for a week Robert Cratic what did you make of cricket Australia's press conference announcing the step toward privatisation partial privatisation in the BBL. I just thought it was lightweight and achieved very little Jared I mean you made the point who's outside the SCG and Sydney officials are so against the project that they got them to look away sorry look towards the SCG so that the shots would not have the SCG in the background that's set it all really and if you could sum it up in a couple of sentences where this is going just remind yourself of this the yes vote for privatisation is being led by Tasmania population

1:42:44500,000 and influence very very little the no votes been led by New South Wales population 8 million packed with influential officials and bloke so I must say Jared are very bad enemies they really are so that's the fight that it has to overcome and I just don't see how it wins it I mean even Elise Perry in that press conference did you see her face I was watching it closely she must have been so conflicted because she's representing the Sydney sixes who were so far against privatisation yet she was ordered to attend the press conference which she did I would have loved to have known her in her thoughts what she was really thinking and then of course Jared you've got the players who were saying we could we should actually be taking 27% of the sale but but instead of that now you keep that and we'll take 33% now that's going to get a arbitration so no one is agreeing with anything at the moment the renegades are up for sale but as someone said to me in the office the other day when they were talking about it hang on wasn't it a club that didn't

1:43:49exist a few months ago you know and these are all fair questions your thoughts it's a messy process and it feels like the most difficult way to go about it what I don't have a position on crash and I've said this repeatedly I admire those who have taken their strident view gathering whatever information they can because I it might take us 20 years to work out what the right decision is here and either strategy could be disastrous but to have the absolute conviction to go no no this this way is a disaster or this way I don't I can't come at it like that is the cricket world has changed so profoundly and rapidly is there's a risk in Australia there's a conceit just to continue to view it in an old way but the old way has charm and our attitudes don't match the attitudes of those around the world particularly toward t-20 so I can't form I can't form a strong view on it right now as to what's right and wrong and I do I feel like it'll take us 20 years to

1:44:52work out whether wherever we land up was whether wherever we end up was the right decision yeah as you were saying those words Jared my mind floated back to when I first heard about the big bash we had a little meeting with one of the executives and they said right we're banning states from using their home colors like Queensland won't use my own they might use blue which is this color that Queensland is a race to to to to test and and also there'll be no animals as mascots and I said and to all these suggestions I said I don't like that I don't like that I don't like that and they all worked they all worked so you've just got to accept that you're right it is a fluent process I don't mind privatisation but I tell you what I don't like franchises being sold cheaply because you only get one go at it yeah and and that's the worry I know in Queensland they got all their money men to have to to to go through the figures and be as forensic as they could and they came back and said this is just the proposed deals are not good enough we would not be able to

1:45:58sustain ourselves tomorrow night they've got a GM up here where they will declare a profit so they're sort of going okay but the trouble Jared is that every state is different south australia who are hedging their bets they get revenue for every game of football from played at the Adelaide Aval so they're fine that they're going really well Tasmania you know are really struggling financially so a Victorian a lot of ways so every state it's it's it's not a coherent argument it's not as if everyone is equal on the same footing there's there's six different stories and and it is absolute mess but I just felt that press conference didn't achieve anything really I mean it was supposed to be you know where this is a landmark decision heading forward really when you've got half the country not wanting to go I mean what does it say when you put your your franchise up for sale and the first thing that the potential owner says what why in New South Wales and Queensland so against it and

1:46:59why is South Australia so confused like do you really want to be back in that project so look it may get there but cheers got some hurdles and not the least the players I mean as Cummins was fronting the press conference Paul Marsh the players chief executive was hitting the button on a press release saying that their dispute was going to go to arbitration so that is confusion deluxe yeah yeah it's it is a painful process for an outcome that would want to be worth it probably and I do think the the public this is the they haven't been able to unite cricket they certainly haven't got a consensus of public opinion so when when the renegades are sold how who's going to barrack for them how are they going to hold people together to it I that that part of the strategy hasn't been enacted because the politics has been so incredibly difficult and painful but how's the public going to feel about it and that that's a little bit untapped oh it it is and sometimes

1:48:03you forget the common fan like I went to a renegade stars game at Marvel Stadium last season really enjoyed felt it was really well promoted and was surprised at the evenness of the the crowd you know so um but yeah you're right the common fan is starting to get bewildered and that is a dangerous sign it it really is but he's the thing cricket Australia accepted a television deal which was very average unfortunately channel seven were really the only free to wear bit of the bar interested in that they weren't keen on on on anyone else and they got it at a bargain price and that will hurt for the next six years it really will and that's why they're desperate to get this money but um it's a long way from anywhere at the renegades will be sold but as far as the consensus it's a long way from anywhere the wisdom and experience of Robert Crattick on a Monday a little bit more ground to cover next this is waitly for pay.com.au business owners pay.com.au and start earning rewards today

1:49:09waitly on s.m imagine if the stability piece and the innovation piece were each other's missing piece for citizens bank and silicon valley bank are combining financial security and innovation expertise to create a full suite of solutions for all your business needs with the scale to back every state of growth from pre-seed to IPO and beyond you have everything you need to make your big ideas click into place for citizens bank and silicon valley bank it's the best of bank worlds you and 76 12 doesn't know he's fully he doesn't even there you go he really didn't know he was so focused in on just holding serve he didn't know he was at the finish line and he finishes off bin sheltered in four sets and wins his second major of the year his first

1:50:16us open. Robert Crattick was quite a funny metaphor for that us open oh it's finished his Alexander Veriv didn't even realize he'd won yeah it was a nice moment wasn't it look he's rising isn't he remember for all those years he was the guy he couldn't win a major and we all took first pleasure in watching his struggles he's hard to love I think it's very you know he two domestic assault charges with different women and he you know one of them was paid off and you know if you read the the charges they're not pretty I've got to say it's quite disturbing but he's left that behind he's had the most turbulent private life but he's good I think he's got something like a record of 46 out of his last 47 matches against left and as he's won Shelton no no one from the United States had won it for 23 years Jared since antibiotic and that was there were hope he was going to crack that but not to be but yeah so it's he's on a journey now

1:51:23it's very where you're just sense that he could be a six or seven slam sort of guy and his games in good order his life's in in better shape and he's just got that unburdened look of a guy that's got snapped a ball and chained behind him yeah yeah that's right as once you get through the mental barrier it becomes a little bit easier the next time around hey we watched as Liv Gulf fired for bankruptcy last week and there's the sort the continued reassurance no no this is all part of the strategy I don't think bankruptcy is part of the strategy crash for whatever it's worth no no it was a fascinating 24 hours watching the reactions to it and a lot of silence you know for guys like cam smith who of course signed on for 150 million there's no amongst them the lesser likes there's a collective will to keep it going and they need apparently 35 signatures in the next 30 days to keep the show on the road and they're talking I will have tournaments here there and around the world but it could never be what it was Jared it's got more than 500 million

1:52:29dollars in debts whether the Saudis who bankrolled the project pay those debts it is yet to be seen or whether people just get a payout figure per dollar a few cents or whatever but look it's it's good and it's bad in that the bad side of it for Australia is at least they were global that tournament in that late was wonderful and they still think they're going to keep going with good luck with that one but you know now that the PGA tour has the US PGA tour has all the power again wow you know they've never looked further than they know they make noises about caring about the game globally it's not true Jared they just want as much power as they can as many tournaments they can over there so you know the balance of world golf is not quite right it's so US-centric and I know there's a DP World Tour and that but that was the one thing Liv did bring a global look you know they went to Joe Hennersburg they went to London they went to Adelaide and they did take that around but you might love their bosses and they've got a very very poor human rights record

1:53:34as we all know but and their excesses were extraordinary some of the payout figures they did yeah you know with as we said guys signing on for more than 100 million they said Tiger Woods was offered nearly a billion and said no Rory McAroy you know half a billion yeah so it was they didn't get everyone but the trouble is Jared all their plays are old now you know they were all to start with but Phil Mikkelson guys like that Garcy is getting on you know and so many of this senior players were former stars who were now you know well past their best they are all right they're watching brief John I finished us off with a little Shane Warren story would have been 57 yes today yeah I just think two quick stories one on Shane Warren okay just the fact that the game misses him because he was the last quite a really stick up for leg spin and Australia lands in Zimbabwe here's a story a warning would talk up leg spin 24 hours a day and he once addressed to me

1:54:40the Australian media four or five of us were sitting around and he said why aren't you blokes writing more stories about Paul Strang we're playing this who from leg spinner from Zimbabwe really plucky little kid and did a great job one he said he's a great story he's self-taught you know what he talked about him as if he was his son and and because he just thought this kid who came from very humble background was really good and leg spinners excited him and that's what Australia lacks at the moment leg spinners gone back to where it was before Shane Warner arrived Jared in the 1980s it's not talked about much it's not rated and unfortunately drop in wickets means there's no rough for them and that's killing them so I just love the way warning stuck up for guys like Paul Strang and Moustak Ahmed who in the middle of a test match 40 said at the SCG when Moustak was having trouble with his wrong and make let's go down the nets and have a look at it and he sorted that and Moustak cleaned up Australia like it was just it was the bathroom of filthy and just to finish on a note about reg cliff you mentioned the reg cliff dolphins you said where's reg cliff Jared

1:55:43the most famous thing that's happened in that fine city of reg cliff was in 1959 and it was the show grounds at the speedway and it was half time and a young lad with a guitar came up in front of the microphone and he's 12 years old and he's two nine year old brothers are with him and they said well come on son introduce yourself and he said well my name's Barry Gibb and this is our first concert and my brothers are calling ourselves the BG's right boys let's go that was the first gig Red Cliff hoe the BG's crash magnificent as ever well done see you next week this is waitly for radius telematics manage your fleet with radius GPS trackers is at radius.com now back to waitly and the cafe menu today the Monday means test with Adam Simpson and the wisdom experience of Robert Craddock trying the cafes new drinks range thanks for all your messages throughout the morning the 40 wings tempered text and the nab open line with your snap judgements and that means it's time for a bit of mid-date madness with Twain the events of the semi-final
