  Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and we'll just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: crack gags. Added a lot of color here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Time he went to boss level for barers fits have
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: some of this fangs. Night Morning, Downtown Boy and don't
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: cross tomorrow.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Of course, the docors they're flown to Melbourne yesterday. I
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: saw him at the airport.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Kart of sar wrong turns up with his own pillow.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: He actually takes it on board as well. It's unusual.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Side just commenting that it does look funny. But for
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: tomorrow's mcg clash with Melbourne and they left Alex Pearce
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: at home, so that was a bit strange. It was
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: pretty funny actually, because a couple of hours earlier, we
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: were interviewing justin Longma, WI the Royal, We the media,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: we're interviewing justin Longma and we're saying to me, what
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: about that memo from the AFL saying you know you
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: can't rest players and blah blah blah, and he goes, oh, yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: we don't really care about that, and you know, we're
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: probably not going to go into that situation.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And then suddenly this wasn't on the plane. He's what
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Jlo had to say.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Is there a temptation to rest any of your senior
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: players in the final three weeks to manage them at all.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, if we had players who were
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: injured or carrying injury or would look at that and
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I think we've done that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, So suddenly must have happened.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Surely one man's rest, another's just temporary bout of gastros.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Who's going to you know, and so you dress it up.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: So it's a real danger game for Freeo though at
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: least I know you're going to be under the douner
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: watching tomorrow because it's going to be cold and wet.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: The Demons need to win more than free A and
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: they play really well at the mcg so Max Gorn
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: against his premiership teammate from up the stadium, Luke Jackson.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: That's going to be fascinating as well because whoever wins
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: that battle probably becomes the All Australian ruck.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot to play for.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: As you said, Melbourne really need to win it, FREEO don't.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: So are they likely to just go, you know, let's
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: not hurt ourselves do anything silly?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Bre is free free could be, could be. It wouldn't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: matter if they no, I feel like.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: This could be an upset and I'm not. I wasn't
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: saying that Jackson wouldn't make the All Australian team. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: whoever out of those two wins will be the lead
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: ruck and the other guy beyond the bench.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's so tricky. So you heard me say ruck there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Nowadays we can't say ruckman because of political correctness ruckman,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: but in this he's.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: In the ruck on this occasion, he's a rockman.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Look, I'm just telling you what goes I know, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: know and ruckman. Did you know that backman is gone.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Back and ournced Backman, Turner overdrive?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We ever played there? He's seriously, it's defender. If you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: want to know, cricket's even worse.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: About Nicole Kidman.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: She's not a man. She's gonna have to change her
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: name person crickets. We've even had to go with batter
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in cricket, I know, and then you have.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Few would they just be bats women or bats men
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: on the day?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: What happens to third man in cricket? The position, the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: cricketing position, third man, night watchman?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: What has happened to him? Watch person? It's silly mid
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: On still allowed what about a maiden over?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, what about short leg anyway, ruckman.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So now again on to the Eagles.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I reckon the Eagles are a huge chance, huge chance
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to defeat the Pies on Sunday. Yeah, did you I'm
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: tipping them to win. I'm going on record. I reckon
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: They're going to win. It's so upset about what happens
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: happened last weekend. And they brought a lot of heat
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: onto the coach.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bottle it up. Yeah, there's a weapon and they
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I think they love the coach.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But there's this fellow from the doctors, Jamie Graham, the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: doctor's assistant, who is being interviewed by Essendon and Carlton and.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: The world's best bloke as well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Missed the two thousand and six premiership, remember that when
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: he was playing at the Eagles, played all the games
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and then where it came back from injury and he
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: got knocked out Rookie of the Year. Not long after that,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: he coached the West Coast after suffering a horrific knee injury,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a resilience amazing. In his personal life, he adopted his
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: own sister. Oh yes, I think he took care of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: his own sister, his family with his family very mature,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: his mother had problems. Coach Doner Justin long Muere could
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: bring all that Docor's ip to West Coast.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Probably the finest blog I've ever met in footy.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So with him in the background, they can't afford mcwelter,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: can't afford to any hiccups.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you anyway, must win and can win.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so we're saying Pendlebury to go. He didn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: come over. They're not here. So Collins probably got nine
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: or ten of the the best twenty two out So wow,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: all right, I'll finished by saying I'm tipping the Eagles.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Eagles.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Now, I was about to say that the AFL chairman
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: has a few dramas, but that person chair, I think,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I think they just go with chair.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think I am. I am a chair on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: chair of the accomplishment to the side.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I am the warmest, I am a rock, I am an.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Island firefighters will be.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, So what did you long intend by getting a
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: player to wave his rights to sue over concussion injuries
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: or take an I legal action.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's a very strange.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: To wave his rights to sue the AFL.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And the July and the football club.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he must have been borderline and they said, listen,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you can't keep playing, but if you do want to,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you wave your rights to sue us, which is pretty ordinary.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: They didn't tell anyone, by the way as well. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I think the most amazing and the reason I mentioned
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the AFL chair and he was the chairman, the chair
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: of Geelong at the time, so he's really compromised the chair.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: It's very strange, I mean, because as you would know, Barah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: and I remember I used to have some discussions with Maynie,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: who would you be sitting next to me with these
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: zappy things on his knees that fairly worked anymore? And
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: he said, I'd do it all again, you know, because
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: because I loved the game so much. So these players
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: they just don't think way down the track.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: But when you see brain injuries, they're horrific. And yeah,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and so young people don't understand. It's like athletes they
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: think that they take steroids. They think they can win
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a gold medal even if it compromises their health, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? And can you play this audio
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: from beverage from the Bulldogs this after the game last night.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: They asked him what he would do or if he
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: was a player, you know, he wave his rights, is
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: what he had to say.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: All of us and a lot of you guys in
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the room played the game. I think every player wants
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: to keep playing until your boots fall off, and so
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: it's an interesting discussion around liability and risk and so
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know enough about it all. I know that
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: if when I was playing, we all had concussions, if
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I had to sign a waiver to keep playing, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: would have.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: That's me personally, Yeah, and that isn't that why they
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: have people in positions to save you from yourself.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Exactly. You summed it up beautifully with your many story.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: That's crazy, bev. What are you saying?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Move on to Italian Football Festival and their problem is
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: with heading the ball in soccer in football, so they're
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: trying to pull back heading the ball in juniors, take
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that out of the game age twelve, that sort of thing.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Fifty two thousand at after starting Wednesday night high TV ratings,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Italians and Croatians in massive numbers.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Did they show it back in Italy?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Was yeah, yeah, because there was just great promotional It
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: was a great tribute to Franco Barresei, the ac Milan legend,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Italian legend.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Actually, what's that song? Nuts and Dormer time, No, that's.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: That's that's the that's the one they had at the
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: World Cup. Dormer, the old Pavarotti.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Dormer.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I'm singing I'm a tenor you.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Are as they have got.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Anyway, they had sing it what they called Barro.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: They had a bloke and he was magnificent. Anyway, I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: thought it was anyway that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Must be that it might have been that other one
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: something pros sempro or whatever. You might have your your
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: your things mixed.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be saying goodbye, would he. It's a funeral. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you're probably right off.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Just starting impact anyway with Italians and Croatians because they
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: sing Milan into Milan. But the best player or one
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of the greatest players ever in the modern era played
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: facing Milan, Luka modric So. All the Croatians came up
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: as well, and it was funny for me, being part Croatian,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: part Italian and part Ossie part skip.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: That looks like a scene out of the castle.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Just seeing all the hand gestures, how much hands gesturing
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: was going on at the game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Right now, because my screen has just completely disappeared.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Shallow stretch. Anyway, the noise was incredible. Half the crowd
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: wasn't cheering. They were just arguing, you know, because they
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: love a bit of an argument. And Luca Modric was
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: playing for a stem my arm, which was perfect for
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: me because Italian club Croatian legend. So well done to
