  Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and we'll just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: crack gags.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: If I added a lot of color here time he
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: went to boss level for barers bits. Have some of
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: this bang GOLs, good morning has.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Then he used to say, what a week in football?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fair to say, it's been the big week. It's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: good to have some footy last night to distract us.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Three hundred games for Brad Hill, who played for the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Dockers West Australian Boy still sin Kilda couldn't get it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: done for.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Him though this is a forty two positions. I know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. He did his bit.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That's not a milestone, that's a cry for help. Forty
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: two positions and you're three hundred. Come on, someone coming nothing.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Michael Walters slew over to present his jumpers that he's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: one of his best friends.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So that was a nice touch.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: The Eagles last game of the year, so as you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: said it was, it's the last game, the last home
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and away games this weekend. The Eagles play on Sunday
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: at five twenty, so that's not so much off Broadway,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's off the map.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I reckon like I'm five twenty on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: A Sunday, So imagine the country people Sunday night at
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Optics get home at eight thirty school the next day. Yeah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: very unfair by the AFL, it is, wasn't it. It's rude, cynical, almost.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Last game of the you know, I mean that's done.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Why does it have to be so late, way to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: week again? And I know what has to be so
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: late so late, it's got nothing to do with people enjoying.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The suits the two hours over there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Well exactly, and we'll just put it up against the block.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Let's yeah, way till we're good again.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: We'll show anyway, if Brisbane beat Collingwood by say twenty
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: points tonight, Hawthorne probably needs to beat the Eagles by
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: about ten goals to get into third spot. Well let's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: mess it up because yeah, well exactly, let's stuff up
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: there chances because everybody wants you to get into third
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: spot now because obviously Sydney's in crisis. You know, they
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: play them at their SCG and in week one it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: probably the easier game than coming over here and playing
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the Dockers. Just stadium in spaces slightly for the Dockers
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: arrested a few jay amos.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: They're not allowed to well managed.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Sam Switzkowski and Heath Chapman, so three.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Some sort of awareness, maybe some hamstring awareness something like that,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: maybe some finals awareness.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I like it resting awareness.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So j Amos a bit unlucky because he only needed
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: eight goals to catch Charlie Kerna win the medal, you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know that Coleman medal. Yeah, and I don't think Charlie's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: going to kick him too many goals this weekend because
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he's the full fur of for Sydney of course, so
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they're playing North Melbourne. All right, I've gone long enough.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: The biggest story.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Straight at the top, I'll just say, look, there's a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: serious allegation being investigated by the police. We know that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we don't know the full facts, so there should be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: no presumption of guilt. Equally, the woman involved deserves to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: be heard, treated with respect and taken.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: At this stage, we can't really discuss that side of
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: thing because that really only talk about what's happened at
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the club.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But I just wanted to say those two principles aren't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: mutually exclusive. No, that's right, innocent until proven guilty, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: then you can also have very seriously. So that's where
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we're at exactly. But ultimately it was really about whether
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Sydney can win the pres It wasn't really about whether
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Sydney could win the premiership. Was it was about standards
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and accountability and how football clubs behave when footy steaks
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: are enormous And it's easy to talk about standards when
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: things are going well, isn't it. But when they go
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: really bad, that's when you really get tested. And the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: real test is whether you're prepared to enforce them when
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the when you're they're the best players in your team
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and you might pay a huge price. And to Sydney's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: credit in that respect, they did it, didn't they They
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: said right now and quickly.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I think they did. I disagree with what Albanez said, yes,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: so that I'd probe be keeping quiet at the moment
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: the light of his recent yes, yeah, that's another.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Story written spoken.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: And sure, yeah, well maybe just stay out of it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So it's sort of an I mean, it's unacceptable scandal
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: obviously the marketing department's worst nightmare. It's the Swans too,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because as the as their president said, they torpedoed their
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: own season and they're not just missing the finals, they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they're losing toothpaste, you know, like Colgate's gone, They're losing.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: All those But Bara, what I'm curious about is there's
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: been so many calls in the last sort of forty
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: eight hours for Sydney to be removed from the finals.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: So I don't agree with that. I mean, why are
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: you punishing thirty other guys who've you know, played all year.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: That's right, but what are your thoughts on that. Nick
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Revolt was really vocal about that, very strange, really vocal,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: and I've seen some in the news.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's not like it was designed. And I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: know NROL teams. I think Melbourne Storm many years ago
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: had all their points taken away because there was a
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: structure of deception. Yes, you know with the salary caps
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: next level. This is a group of players who have
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: gone off and done the wrong thing. This is not
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: by design by the club.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: No, I think.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I think what Nick was trying to say was, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it demeans the finals because they're so weak and distracted
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and they've lost all their best players, and maybe they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: should step away.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But that's not fair to the guys.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I think other people are saying,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: just bout him out of the of the finals, which.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: What to make the problem go away.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But later on if things come to like because I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: heard the lawyer of the of the Woman today and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he was saying he was really putting some petrol and everything.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's made some Yeah, so if what he's saying
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is half true, then I think probably looking back will go, yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we should have booted them out of the competition at
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You know, I think I think they're two separate, you know, situations,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: especially if there's you know, regarding what's gone on in
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a hotel room is not I don't think that has
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: anything to do with the thirty other players at the
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: swime so who've behaved like you know, they should.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And whether the culture of the club obviously, and also
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: how many people were actually in the room and all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff that'll all come out anyway.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I think it's the culture of the individual too.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: You can't always you know, or five individuals, yeah, five individuals.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Well, there'll be a lot more media today on the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Swan story because Dean Cox and the Swan's captain Callum
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Mills holding a press conference in five minutes time in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Sydney putting my journal I had on. Obviously, Cox is
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: an Eagles great he will be asked to explain a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: lot of things. If I'll just chuck a few at you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Why was he out at midnight on the night in question?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He'll obviously say that, you know, they finished the game
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: at eight thirty and having dinner and I was with
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the coaches, So that he will get interrogated. I don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: think that's unreasonable, but you know, the optics never great.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: When they post photos of you and all that's of stuff.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What did he say to the players after the winner
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of resting in because there's some suggestion that they said, look,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to rest a few of you. There's no curfew,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but we're going to rest a few of you. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that might have contributed. There'll be a new question today.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: A mum has come out and said that heeny posed
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: for a photo with her five year old daughter at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: eight ten am in the foyer of the hotel in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the morning with all the drama hauting, and she's pretty
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: upset that he actually didn't just say look, I can't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: do a photo, but you can see it's not a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: good time and Dean's in the background of.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Talking to the woman Rah god so.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And then of course, now that lawyer for the victims
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: has come out and made some pretty inflammatory suggestions on
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: three out w which will have to be raised as well.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Legally.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that goes. Dean spoke to the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: woman involved, what did he say? He'd probably get quizzed
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: about whether this type of behavior has been seen at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Swans before or is this just the first time?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Is this like a one off thing.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Should some of the players be now traded or kicked
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: out of the club?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Will they leave?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Which is sort of like not really, it's the footy
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: side of it and the Eagles crisis of two.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Thousand and seven.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That'll get a mention as well, because Dean.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Was actually there. Yeah, so oh well yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And then there's three minutes till the TV screens will
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: go on the.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And then the Swan's afl W team has been media
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: conference today as well because they've got a doubleheader, so
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the Swan's women's game is on at the same time,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: either before or after the men's team. So some are
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: saying that the SCG fans are saying that maybe don't
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: go to the game. Others are saying just go to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the women's game, other saying should we turn our backs
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: on the play on the men's team like it is?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It's again.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: The players are out there are not implicated in this.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And I sure the publisher Alan and Unwood coming out
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: poor promotion of he Need's two existing Little Isaac Footy
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Fever children's books and suspending publication of the third while
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the investigation continues. I mean, you know things are gone
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: bad when when the publisher puts your children's book in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the bottom drawer.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Jeez, so well that's fair. Nothing can happen until you
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: know this is resolved. Now everything has to go on hold.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Exactly right, so you gets to play out a bit
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to play out, So stay tuned. But I'll probably I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was going to say that I know some wonderful people
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: at the Swan's Bett Kirk, former captain. He's now the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: head of well being at the Swans. He's son place
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for Perth. He is a quality person, says his son,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Kieran Jack came out the eagles Man, former captain, former captain.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Someone has sent me a text saying that I'm trying
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: so hard to be the cool chick I'm in danger
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: of selling my soul, and that removing the entire team
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: from the comple have the knock on effect of men
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: pulling the dickheads into line before they do evil things.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, there's lots of different views on things. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: don't think I'm selling my soul, but anyway, but I mean,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: this person who didn't leave their name does make a point,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: good point. But that's what makes this hot, this situation
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: so complicated.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that's such a story.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And the Swans are famous for having a no dickhead
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: policy exactly.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost written on the door.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: This person says they wouldn't have decided to behave this
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: way on the spur of the moment. There would have
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: been many instances in the locker room that anyone with
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: half a brain could have predicted this would happened.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Possibly.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as a former player.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I just feel bad. I just feel bad about your doing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So I'll just get onto any other stuff that's happening.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Just in the Waffle final round tomorrow before the finals,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: five teams are fighting for four places in the finals
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: basically or something like that. So, including my club West Perth.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Their coaches just resigned you see I did before the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: last game and Aaron Black and Shane Neilson rich a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: week but you'll coach the last game.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He will coach the last game. That's fair.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, who's playing them birth.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: So we'll be up in joodle up and going for
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: an upset.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And the Waffle w Grand Final at Fremantle Oval on
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Sunday Swan Districts versus Eastern Mantle should be a belter.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Brilliant heavy day.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Mate, Go the Duckans tomorrow absolutely and Eagles do not
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: well win but if you can't make sure you don't
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: let Hawthorne win six exactly all right, that's for them
