• 0:13
  Speaker 2: By now.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: You should have somehow realized what you got to do.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: about you now.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, welcome to the shed. Jonathan Brown joining us on
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: the shed.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: Thanks, boys.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Mate, you inspired the Oasis with the shirt, mate.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I went to a concert last year on a Friday
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne and then went to the race the next day,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Derby Day, and got invited again, so I went twice.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a different experience on the Saturday night.
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: Tired?
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Been in the races all day, getting multi up in
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: the suit, on the mosh pit. Oh, jeez. What might
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: be funny, if you don't mind me asking?
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: The moldy paid well paid him instantly odds odds any
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: odds well do you remember the odds actually the one
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: was paying well actually he won the corfield and then i.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Think we got yeah the double i think we got
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it for about 30 bucks yeah okay so oh between
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a few and had a couple of bucks on it
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: i want to say yeah including a mate of.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Mine who found the ticket he won 30.
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: Right So I'm going to say north of 500 the
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: bet would have been at least.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: That's a good win.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: That's right. Good win. Nice, nice. Actually, not a great win.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Let's talk about the Lions over the weekend.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: No, we don't have to.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Now that was unexpected. I mean, I guess is it
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: good timing that they had their worst game then and
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: now they've got time to improve?
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: Well, I hope so. Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: This year, especially, history tells you that, but they need
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to kick up the arse every now and again. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: people forget they've been up for such a long time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's been an amazing sustained run. New boys have been
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in great teams, but they've really been around the top
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: four mark for the last eight years. It's an incredible run, really,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: isn't it? And you know what it's like when teams
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: are coming at you every week. I feel like they've almost,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: when they realise the game's done, they just put the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: cue in the rack and go right ahead.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Can't win this one, especially this time of year when
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: it's match play.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, rest up the boots for next week, you know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: So that's why you get top four, you get a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: second chance. So hopefully they turn it around Saturday night.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: You were around for the last three, Pete, and so
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: nearly a four, Pete. Why bring that up, mate?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And we're right on the cusp here. Is there, because it's,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the chance of three in a row, is
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: there more pressure or is there confidence that comes with that?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's confidence. If they can get over Adelaide
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, they go to the MCG. I think they're
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the best team. Even though they only play there a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: couple of times a year, plus finals, they're nearly the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: best MCG team. So they go with great confidence. They
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: play Hawthorne next week. Not to put the cart before
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the horse, but they've had a great record against Hawthorne.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So it's a huge game Saturday night at the Gabba.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: They just get over that hurdle.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The Crothers weren't that convincing, really. They had a great
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: last quarter.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: They did. I did that game, too. Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Probably a little bit of luck. The Bulldogs didn't take
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the chances, but the Lions will bounce back. They're a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: proud group. And Locking Hill, you know, even though he's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: probably going to Collingwood next year, you know, he's a competitor.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: He's a proud man. He's going to want to do
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: his best for the club.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And he knows... This is the last time you're going
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to get an opportunity in your career to win three
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in a row.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so they'll bounce back. That midfield
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: group will bounce back.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And they've been bored by Zach Bailey re-signing, which was
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: big news yesterday.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: That's our first win over the Crows.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Because they were saying he was going to go to Adelaide.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He was going to go to the Crows.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Is that now, to your memory, that's the biggest one
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: in my memory, in the Lions ever had?
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Most lucrative, I think.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Most lucrative?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, well, Alistair Lynch was the first in our
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: modern times, I guess, from– Yeah. 93, when he came
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to the Brisbane Bears from Fitzroy, he signed a 10-year deal.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Wow. It shows how footy salaries have changed. I think
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: it was a 10-year, $ 2 million deal, so an average
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: of 200 grand.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What?
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Wow. What about a lot of money back then?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Was it probably 93?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been cheap by the end of that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Buddy Franklin signed a nine-year. Yeah, that's right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: $ 10 million. $ 10 million.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: That was 10.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Wow, that was.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I think Bailey signed, it was probably eight by, let's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: call it 1.4 million. 8 by 1.4, so the footy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: economy's changed, hasn't it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: But the footy club's got to be prudent, don't they?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Because with the spectre of Tassie coming in, they know
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: some of their other young stars, especially Logan Morris, the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Ganyan forward, will get off it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Probably upwards of $ 2 million, maybe beyond that. He is
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: a bloody good player. He's a star.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: It's going to be hard for the Lions to hang
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: on to this team.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: That's why the NRL and the AFL got salary caps,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: haven't they, to try and.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It is ironic, though, that in the modern day of
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the salary cap, that both the NRL and AFL have
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: had these big dynasty teams.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: You've seen it at the Panthers, obviously, on that amazing run.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And this century alone, we've had the Brisbane Lions, Geelong, Richmond...
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And Hawthorne.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Hawthorne. Yeah. Everyone wins three in a row. Well, three
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: out of four premierships. That is it. So they've been
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: able to defy the salary cap for certain reasons.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: When you moved up to Brizzy, mate, you were forced
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: to become a bit of a leaguey as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Um, but so, uh, I love the league.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Did you love it before?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, as a kid growing up in country, Victoria,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the only NRL games we used to get was state
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of origin.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So it was a massive, it's not a bad one
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Back in the days of, you know, when Alfie burst
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on the scene, you know, so Queensland were always the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: underdog team. So we bagged for Queensland. And, uh, And,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of course, when it came to the MCJ, it was massive.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The boys would punch on. So he led them to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that 3-0 victory, of course.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: 1995. 1995, a famous victory. I think it was the
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Cattle Dog call and the scrum. Cattle Dog, it was.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It was a few air swings there by the boys.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But that was amazing as kids. And then, of course,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the Melbourne Storm came along and captured the town very quickly.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I captured the statement. They won that flag in 99
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: with a penalty try.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And Craig Smith, I think, had his head taken off.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Was it Craig Smith? Was his name? Anyway. I remember, yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: It was Craig someone, I'm pretty sure. You should know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You debuted not long after that, I thought.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Were you even born then or not?
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: 99, I was five. So I've been fortunate enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Obviously up here following you. Did you ever look at–
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Give it a go?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Well, we didn't. It's probably like up here in the days,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it was only footy and cricket.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Sports growing up in the country.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So like up here, it would have been rugby league
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and cricket. So my main thing was I wanted to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: open the bowl for Australia.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: We all did.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: We all did. I still do.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I still do.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. I still do. I still do. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: open the bowl on a boxing day. That's it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for my call-up for a charity game.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, me too.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I want to smack a six at the Gabba or
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: anywhere just to prove I can do it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I think I've told you that story before.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: So at the end of every preseason, Gordie, well, whoever
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: the captain was, used to organise a cricket game. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: we were supposed to play at Ashgrove Maris and then
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: something was on there and Gordie got us on the Gabba.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: And he's come out, Gordie's come out, and Matty Hayden's
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: full kit.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I couldn't fucking get on the.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Gabber, mate.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I know. At the end of our pre-season training, Gordie
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got us on the gabber. We played oldies versus youngies.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: We had a barbecue being cooked. I remember Dane Carlo
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: would tink this massive six, and everyone went crazy.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I still want to do it though.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm still waiting to show them my skills just to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: get the call up. I'm only 32 this year. Your
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: back would be, you'd be, oh! No. You carried on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: playing league, playing cricket. Mate, I just chirp. I sit
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in there and chirp. And I just go, yep, that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the whole point.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's, well, my greatest thrill ever was, I used
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to do the footy show, but the AFL footy show
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: back in the day, like you boys at the NRL
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and Ricky Ponting was on once and I was a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: panelist that night and the boys asked me, knowing how
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: much I love him, they said, do you want to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: bowl to Ricky Ponting coming out of one of the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: ad books?
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: So taped up tennis ball, yes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Then you go to Street Studios in Melbourne and Channel 9,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: got to bowl to the current Australian.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Test captain, Ricky Ponting, got 14 yards too. Fully taped
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: up tennis ball. None of these half taped up tennis balls.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to hit punter. I remember walking.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Out during the ad break and punter said, you just
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: put it in a nice half volleyball.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: I said, yeah, sure, punter. Punter.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I already teamed up with the Lighty to make
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: sure this big bright light right behind the bowler's.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Arm just to switch on as I was coming in.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: With a light taped up tennis ball, and he just
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: switched on just so I'm about to let the ball go.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Your partner clearly couldn't see the ball, mate. I've hit
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: him in the shoulder, landed on the stump, so that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: my great.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That is all the best. You bowled Ricky Ponting. Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: A little bit out of it, but it's still good.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: What a highlight.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah. In fact, it was off 14 yards.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, great growing up.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Now, this is just the bonus episode, so we won't
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: fire all our bullets, but we'll come back and we
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: want to talk to you about your health as well
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: because you had a bit of a scare this year,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: so we'll get to that in the episode proper when
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that drops tomorrow.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: All right.
