  Speaker 2: 5AA Early Breakfast. Four after five. Good morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Welcome along to Early Breakfast on this Monday morning, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: 28th day of September. We are going for a top
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: of 27 degrees, partly cloudy. Tuesday, 32 degrees, becoming cloudy.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Wednesday, 25. Thursday, 21. Friday, 19. Currently in the city,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: 13.3 degrees.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And you just heard at the top of the show,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Still don't have my little mate, so I've got my
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: other little mate with me today.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Tommy Wren. Randy, good morning. Sammy, great to be here. Yes, welcome.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Hope you had a great weekend. What an amazing weekend
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: of sport it was. We'll get to the grand final,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sure, but it's great to be here. I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Ned's doing drive this week, so good for him.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Ned's got a couple of days on drive so he
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: can enjoy those sleep-ins a little bit longer, but the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: show must go on. I've got you tomorrow. Someone else
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: might be dropping in on Wednesday with me. We'll figure
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: out who's doing chooser, but we'll get through.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So it's Tommy. Thank you for dropping in, mate. No,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it's great.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: It's fantastic to be here. And wow, there's so much
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to talk through. I think everyone who saw the grand
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: final would agree. It's maybe the best one they've seen.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: We had such a good weekend of prelims, but then
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the grand final was extraordinary as well. So all of that,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: plus whatever else anyone wants.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: To talk about.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, we should start with the grand final, but there's
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: quite a few storylines to talk about. So, We know
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Brisbane came back in the end. The siren about to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: sound after an incredible grand final.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Once again, Brisbane goes back.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: To back to back. A new pride with the same
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: extraordinary feat.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's pagan folklore.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But, but, Frio, what were they up by, 17?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: 17 points. After this goal by Patrick Voss.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You never know when your moment will come.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Well, it's here for Patrick Voss. Now it's Wharfie's time. Oh,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: does the challenge get big now for the Lions?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: And I don't know about you, Tommy, but where I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: was watching it, there was about seven or eight of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: us around the TV, and once Patrick Voss kicked that goal,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: about four minutes to go, we were all calling for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Wolfie time. We were all calling for it. Still four minutes,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: 18 on the clock.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: There it is. It is Wolfie time. It's officially Wolfie time.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And listen to this. There is time on the clock.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: This is some of the best theatre you'll ever see.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So right now, with four minutes left, guys, if you're
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: free up and you get the ball, you've just got
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to find the loose target. What about the theatre? Suck
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that in, wherever you're watching around the world. Four minutes ago,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we thought it's Wharfie time. Then a minute ago, we were.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Saying, why did they play Wharfie time?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They jinxed it. Well, real time there, you heard Jason Dunstall.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: He called it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I was listening to Seven. I was watching Seven, so
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I hadn't heard that bit. But Jason Dunstall all over it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: He was all over it, said there's still time.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And we heard post-game that Chris Fagan said, if you
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: hear that during the game, just go and win.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Go and win the game. So they obviously played it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Here is a bit of fags on Wolfie time.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Something that we talked about, um, yesterday that, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: they'd been using it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: We hadn't heard it before.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: So I wanted the players to sort of hear it, uh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: first of all, and understand what it meant to Fremantle.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: And then just, just to say to them, well, if
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: they do play it, then maybe we can use it
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: as a sign for us to, to get cracking. And, um, Yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: it just so happened that it turned out that way.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Unreal.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Extraordinary. Will we ever see it again? Who knows?
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: But Brisbane then, they, of course, they got some luck,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: but Will Ashcroft just put the afterburners on and played
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: one of the best final quarters you're going to see,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: or the best five minutes of a quarter, and he
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: didn't get the Norm Smith medal. There was controversy about
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: that and everything else that followed, but... Three in a row.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: You know, does Chris Fagan go on? We're still not sure.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: The club seemed confident that he will. But there's all
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: of those storylines, like you say. I didn't have anything
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: really invested in the game, but I was hoping Fremantle
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: would win. That said, I was thrilled for Chris Fagan
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: and what the Lions were able to do.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Just an amazing achievement. It is galling, though.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: As a Dockers supporter, if you were a Dockers fan,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you've never won a premiership.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You're probably thinking now. One of the best home and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: away seasons ever.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Are we ever going to get one?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Because as you know, there's no guarantees you get back
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: there next year.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: It is so hard just to get there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: And to come so close and then to have it
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: snatched away. Sometimes you've just got to tip your hat, though,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and say, too good. And Brisbane have got so much talent.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And Will Ashcroft's final 10 minutes, as I said, was
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: just off the charts.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: You've been involved in voting for medals before here locally.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Do you have.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Are we thinking that Ashcroft didn't win the medal because...
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: They had to have the votes in by a certain
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: point in the quarter?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Well, they're the shortest that they did come after the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: final siren, but maybe they'd made their minds up. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Bolton was really good, but it did feel like when
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the game was on the line, it needed to be won.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I think Lauren Wood was the one that voted for
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Will Ashcroft. There were five judges. She gave Will Ashcroft. Now,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that's not to say that that's the right decision. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: everyone sees it slightly differently. But when I do it,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: you do sort of at the 15, 20-minute mark start
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: to think, oh, I've got to get my votes in.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: And then you think, if the game's a blowout, then
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: it's pretty easy. But when it's close like that, it
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: makes it a lot more difficult. I didn't think it
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: was going to be Shy Bolton, though, after the game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, I was watching, like, you with a group
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: of friends and, you know, had a couple of drinks,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: but I think most people thought it's going to be
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Will Ashcroft.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And I think probably 60%, 70% of people watching at home, Sam,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: thought the same thing.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Were you there? Is that what you were thinking? I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: wasn't thinking Jay Bolton.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: No, I wasn't either.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: 822-300-00-044-808-1395.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Nettie off this morning. Rennie in the seat with me.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: So you can jump on the phones and the texts.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Give us a call. Wharfie time. What's the biggest jinx ever?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: So what are some of the biggest jinxes that you've
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: heard or seen or you've done yourself?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Are you superstitious? Will we ever see Wharfie Time again?
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I think the only people that were probably happy to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: see Frio lose outside of Brisbane fans were Crows fans
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: that had a power stance back in 2017.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: We're classing that as a jinx? Well, although it did
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: work over here. Until it didn't. Until it didn't. Same
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: with Wharfie Time. It worked until it didn't. Until it didn't. Interesting.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: But would that have made a difference? I mean, it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a sliding doors moment. Who knows?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, the players always say, oh, we don't listen
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: into that sort of stuff.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother us.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Justin Lungmuir has also said that they're not going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: retire at Wharfie time.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: Would you like that to continue at Wharfie time?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Or they said they took energy from it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: I don't think that has any impact. Like, did Charlie's
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: Country Road celebration have any impact on the game? Probably not.
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: I don't think we can put it down to that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: I just think we can put it down to, yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: one of the better teams of all time backs against
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: the wall. They found something and we just didn't have
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: the answer for that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: But they found something after Wolfie Thomas.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, is it a coincidence or did they use it
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: as fuel just to.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Take every risk.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: And even at the last stoppage, I think with 32
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: seconds to go, Sammy, one point the difference. They throw
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the ball in. It goes over the back. The ball
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: bounces on its head and goes back to Ashcroft. Now,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: had it bounced like it sort of normally does and
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: kept going, Sorong was running onto it. They go forward,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: probably at least get a score, and then it's a draw,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: or maybe they get a goal and they win the game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: But just all of those little things seem to go
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Brisbane's way every single one in the last few minutes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, Charlie Cameron's pick-up when they were 17 points down,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: snap and goal, that was just so classy. Just everything
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that had to go right did go right. And for Freo,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: like I said, now, I wonder if Dockers fans will
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: ever watch that final five minutes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Unreal.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Let's head to the phones.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: 8223 0000.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Peter and Marlston taking us away this morning. Morning, Pete.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: Morning. Now, I'm out of pocket because of that result.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: I've had a $ 10 bet with Hoffman, Phil Hoffman, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: once again, he's beaten me. But I honestly want to
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: give full credit. I listened to the Sunday roast with
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: KG and Sam yesterday.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: And did you hear that interview?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Who were they interviewing, Pete?
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: The person, the reason why Brisbane are so good, Phil Smites. Now,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Phil Smyth, how many premierships did he win with the 36ers, Tommy?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He won three, I reckon. Two as a coach, one
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as a player? No, I reckon he won mine back
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: when he was in the 80s with Canberra.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: Well, I give him full credit. And the other thing, quickly,
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: because I know you're going to have a lot of callers,
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: do you think that it's time to go out on
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: the high 65 years and three months Fagan or coach
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: on like Jack Odie did and then had to get
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: out at 62 in 1982 without another flag after that
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: one point loss to Nord. What's your opinion there?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty good way to go out, isn't it?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Three in a row.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see him go one more just to
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: see if he can go one better than Lee Matthews
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in 2001 to 2003. That said, 65, I mean, you
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: can probably kick your feet up.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You're a legend forever, aren't you, as a three-time premiership coach?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: 65's a new 50, though, Tommy. Well, exactly. And the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: players seem to love him, don't they?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, if he didn't keep going, Pete,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: it would be one of the most sought-after jobs, that list.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: They're so talented. I mean, the Ashcrofts, Morris. You know
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: what the real turning point of the game? I mean,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: warfy time. It has to be Alex Pearce going down,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: doesn't it? Logan Morris, who was virtually unsighted in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: first half, then kicks the two.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: When Alex Pearce went down, I just thought there's going
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: to be a point where they're going to come running
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: at some point.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: When they were 17 down, I didn't think they would
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: get there in the end.
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: No.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But I just thought it's Brisbane. They've won two before.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They've been a three in a row. Mm-hmm. They know
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: what they're doing.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then Logan Morris takes that huge mark. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: think McDonald was the opponent. Had that been Pearce, who knows?
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: But I think he would have got a spoil on him,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: at least. Now, that's not to have a crack at McDonald,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: but Morris is such a beast, and he found a way.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Ended up, I think, with three goals, but the last
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: two of the game, another match-winning goal. So, yeah, just
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: a few things went against Freo on the day, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: like we've said, Brisbane have to give them full credit.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Tip the cap. Peter, would you go around for a fourth?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I think Petey's gone. Petey's gone. I'll tell you, Pete.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: It'd be a way to go.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's being linked to... Isn't he being linked
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to Tassie as some sort of footy boss manager? Or
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: am I dreaming that?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: He could write his own ticket anywhere now, couldn't he?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: So what, four grand finals in a row? Because I
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: think we often forget the first grand final, they lost
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: to remember two.
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Collingwood in what was a heartbreaking game. We thought, oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Brisbane ever going to win one? And they've now gone
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: back to back to back. Lee Matthews went four in
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: a row. And remember, it was Port Adelaide, of course,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: that broke that streak in 2004.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: That's why, Tommy, being a Port fan, you should be
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: excited for 2027. We're the only team to finish off
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a Brisbane three-peat before.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Could it happen again?
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: 15th.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: 15th to first. You can dream. Morning, Mark.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Good, mate.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks, mate. Give us a toot.
• 11:27
  Speaker 12: There we go.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tommy.
• 11:33
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: I remember meeting you at Anzac Day at Rosewater.
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: When you did the trumpet.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: How are you, mate?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really good. It's always good out there, isn't it?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Nice little service.
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's great.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Hey, just before I speak, the Fremantle supporters booing Lockie Neal.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: That's pretty pathetic. How bad... Have they got egg on
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: their face this morning? You know, Lockheed Neal didn't do
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: anything wrong to the Fremantle guys. So, you know, hey,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: he got off. Like, Fremantle would have done the same thing,
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: wouldn't they?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to boo someone, boo the review
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: board or the tribunal, not Lockheed Neal.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Well, exactly right. And before I go, I was in
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: the survey yesterday, and this girl was talking about 5AA,
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: the competition. It was Katy Perry. And I said, oh, no,
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: it was Kylie Minogue. She said, no, the competition.
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: I said, oh, right.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: She goes, I listen to 5AA in the morning.
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: So I said, oh, you listen.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: To it, Ned and Sam. She goes, yeah, I do.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: I said, hey, I'm Mark the Truckie, so I've got
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: a follower on 5AA. So she said to me, please,
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: when you ring up, say hello. So hello, Pauline, how.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Are you going?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Well done, Mark. Thank you for the call, mate. Where
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: are you off to this morning?
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Mildura or Mervyn South, Mildura.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Nice. Safe driving. Yeah, drive safely, Mark.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Anyways, guys, thank you.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: See you, Mark. Good on you, Mark. Have a great day.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Look at that. Early breakfast. The high-fivers are getting followers
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: of themselves. They do a great job, the truckies, don't they?
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: Always.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Driving through the night. And you give us a toot
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: on early breakfast. We love you even more. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: 17.5 to 5.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: We've got to get to a quick break. Pete, hang
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: on the line. We'll come back to you very, very shortly.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: 20 after 5 on this Monday.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Neddy on drive for a few more days. You can
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: listen to him this afternoon from 4 with Timmy G.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: But Tommy Wren stepped into those little shoes that he's left.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: So thank you to Tommy. He will be with me
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: until 6 this morning. You can give us a call
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: or shout out on the text line 0448081395. Robert from Clearview.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: So gather round, children. I'll tell you a rhyme about
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: a curse called Wharfie Time. It was on a day
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: late in September. Surely it was a day to remember.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: With minutes to go, the bell did toll. It was
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: prompted the Lions to kick four more goals. So if
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: you're playing a game late in September, don't poke the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: footy gods, for they will always remember.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I like it. You know what?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: In 50 years' time. People probably will still remember that
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: time frame until lost.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: It'll go down in folklore, like Alistair Lynch in The Wake.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: It'll be those things you just remember from September.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. It'll be in a montage forever. Wolfie time,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they lose. Unbelievable. And I like the Wolfie time thing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. It's great. But when you win.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably going to get shelved now. Got
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: a bit of egg on your face now. Mandy and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the Blue Brothers. Morning, Mandy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Good morning to Ned and Sam. Well, she got in
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a little bit early on that text. And the High Fivers.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I hope you're all welcome back. You have lives to live,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: but no more breaks, please. Have a great show. Mandy
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and the Blue Brothers. And Raymond from Salisbury Plains. I'm
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: with you, Sammy.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Power 2027 premieres. Be a big turnaround. Look, I'm just
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: going along with what's happened before. Yeah, they're going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: get some good draft picks. We're the ones that stop
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a four-peat.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Well, they've got to get that trade sorted, don't they,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: for Zach Butter. So that's the big order of business.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Sounds like Jordan Butts is going to head to the kennel.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: So that's good for him and good for the doggies.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: But let's hope that they can sort out a trade
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: now and get something good for the Power to be
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: able to launch for their 2027 season.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Let's head out to Power Hills. Pete, good morning.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, good morning, boys. And you just used the right word.
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter whether Butters leaves or not, you've got
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: to get a good trade.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Pete.
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: Good is the word.
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: We didn't get a good trade for Dan Hewson, I'll
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: tell you. But, yeah, that's another thing.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But Dan Hewson's not going too well at Collingwood, though. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that's true.
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but he's not being used as well as what
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: Port used him. And I think that's a different way
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: that you use the player in your side, you know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: But anyway, the good season's now for me. The good
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: horses are coming back, getting the good odds. And Tommy,
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: have you heard any more about Manchester City?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: No, just that they.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Were found guilty of those charges, but I don't know
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: what it's going to mean in terms of sanctions moving
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: forward or whether they go retrospectively and take championships away.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think they will, Pete, but my goodness, that
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was a monumental finding over the last few.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Days, wasn't it?
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, it's a texture on Saturday morning. Pound guilty
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: of 114. And all the other clubs are putting the
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: boot in now and wanting them to get even a
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: bigger pie, money in the pie sort of thing. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: I read somewhere where there's three to one to win
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: the championship, but three to one to get relegated by
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: the bookies.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah. And, I mean, the other clubs have been
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: dealt with severely, so why shouldn't Manchester City be used
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: exactly for the same reason?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating to see what happens to
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Manchester City. Because those who are playing along at home,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: what are we talking about?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: So they've been found guilty of basically breaking the FIFA
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: rules fair rules. So the 115 charges or whatever it was,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: it was 100 plus. And they've been doing it for
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: a number of years, basically exploiting the system. So there
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: are all these, you know, rules in place. There's no
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: salary cap, so to speak, but they've still been found
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: to breaching all these rules.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And if you do that, you can have points taken away.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: So the league might take away 30 points from them
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: or more, which may mean they get relegated. And a
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: lot of people are saying they should have their championships from,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: you know, previous years. They've been the dominant side.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Of the last. A bit like a Lance Armstrong.
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Two out of France has taken away.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think that will happen, but there's too much
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: money involved and, you know, that would totally change the
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: course of history. But, yeah, they're in a fair bit
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: of bother. So they've been found guilty. But what happens now,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Manchester City could be in a fair bit of bother
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: moving forward.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Plenty of more sport we'll talk about as well coming
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: up after the next break. Plenty going on at this
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: time of year. This was footage dying down. You've got golf,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: you've got Formula One, you've got a lot going on.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: We'll touch on that shortly. Back to the Coles though. Tony,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: good morning.
• 18:07
  Speaker 13: Fabulous to talk to you. Sam, I want to thank
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: you sincerely for giving me that fabulous, fabulous truck wash
• 18:16
  Speaker 13: the other month.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: How's it going?
• 18:20
  Speaker 13: I gave it to my trainer, John, and he loves it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: He thinks it's great. So it's wonderful. It's great to
• 18:28
  Speaker 13: see a local company doing such a tremendous job.
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Ray Pepper, Pepper's Truck Wash. We love them. They're great
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: supporters here on Early Breakfast.
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: Great.
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: Have a fabulous day, guys. Thank you.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Good on you, Tony. Oh, that's a nice call, isn't it?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Just a bit of love.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, getting out there and enjoying the magnificent products that
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: we've been having to spruik on early breakfast.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Just like Tony, you can give us a call about
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: anything you want. We've been talking about the grand final,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: but anything that's on your mind, 8223 0000. Rob, again,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: spare a thought for Tom Duday. Went to the Lions
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: for the glory and now has watched three premierships on
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the sidelines. I saw his photos online Sunday morning. He's
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: all in his Brisbane Lions get up having a beer
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: on the ground but not on the playing top.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I think he's played one or two games. Remember he
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: had ACL, I think, while he's been up there as well.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: He did one here, did one there.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, big friend of the show, of course, and used
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: to be a regular on Breakfast. Great guy.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Really nice guy, Tommy Duda. So, unfortunately.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a pretty hard side to break into,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: isn't it? Noah Answorth, I think, was the other hard
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: luck story. You know, just couldn't quite get back. There's
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: always going to be one or two, but yeah, Tommy, unfortunately,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: just hasn't been able to break in regularly. It's because
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: we have that link to him as well. You just
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: feel a bit more for him.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. Yeah, it's a good point.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Let's head now out to Blakeview to a woman who
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: hasn't had a voice for a couple of weeks, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know what she's going to sound like this morning.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: So, Julie. Hopefully better. Julie, I hope you're not straining
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: yourself ringing up. Good morning.
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Sammy and Tom.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You're getting there.
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: I'm getting there, Sammy. Yeah, it's better than it was, but, yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: just still a bit of a strain, but at least
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: sanity has been restored to five o'clock.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: Again, so.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got Sammy in the chair, Julie. He's leading
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: me beautifully.
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: And you, Tom, you know how much I've spoken to
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: you over the years, Tom. So either one, Sammy, I've
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: always liked Sam there. But Ned, you, Tom, doesn't matter.
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: At least sanity's been restored.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Julie.
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: It's funny, I said to Mark yesterday, maybe we were
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: the only team that break Brisbane's three-peat. And I said,
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: maybe it's our turn next year. Of course, I had
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: a giggle over that. I thought, yeah, fat chance. But
• 20:44
  Speaker 12: you never know.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: You've got to believe. Josh Carr, come on.
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah. I'm with Pete, though. I'm just waiting to
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: see the trade that we get for butters. And somehow
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: I don't think we're going to come out of that
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: too well. I think we're going to.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Get screwed, actually.
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: I just can't see anything that the Bulldogs, can offer
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: us and um I just oh I don't know I
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: just think the AFL will intervene and pull their usual
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: tricks and come up with some cock and ball story
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: that they'll make sure Port Adelaide don't get a decent
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: trade and and then to do what they did with
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: the father-son rule back in April um and and look
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: at the Ashcroft you know they they went I think
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: both those brothers went um well into the 30s for
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: their trade. They gave up nothing to get the Ashcroft brothers,
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: and I believe that the Daycross brothers were the same.
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: They went well into the 30s as well for their trade. So,
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: you know, I'm just so annoyed now we have to
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: pay through the nose to get Dougie Cochran. And Carlton
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: are the same. They're the same with Cody Walker.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: So until they start to even up the system and
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: make it equal for everybody, you're going to have teams
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: like Brisbane and Collingwood and all those teams prevail because there's–
• 22:26
  Speaker 12: I mean, you'd give anything to have those Ashcroft brothers,
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: wouldn't you?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, Julie.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I think I saw yesterday they were all bid for,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: the two Ashcrofts, Fletcher and Annabelle. They were bid by
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: other clubs in the top 10 or picked 12, I think,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: for Fletcher. But Brisbane had to give up picks in the.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: 30s, 40s, 50s. They got them for a song. They
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: got them for an absolute song.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: And the Daycrofts were the same, Tom. They were very
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: late 30s in there, having to give them up.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: Our poor have to really struggle and hopefully get a
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: good deal. Hopefully they do get Dougie Cochran, but they've
• 23:07
  Speaker 12: got to give up a lot to get him, like
• 23:09
  Speaker 12: I said, as do Carlton for Cody Walker. Somebody asked
• 23:15
  Speaker 12: the question over the weekend, I think it was on
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: 3AW actually, on Saturday afternoon, how is it that you
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: still have such a gap between... the top teams in
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: Victoria doing really well, or the top teams in general
• 23:31
  Speaker 12: doing really well, but you still have that big gap
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: between the lower teams, like Essendon, Richmond, and so on. Well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: there's your answer. You know, there are teams like Brisbane
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: and Collingwood and Geelong. And another thing, how do Brisbane
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: afford to play all those players? We always question Geelong's
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: salary cap. If you have a look at Brisbane's salary cap,
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: how do they afford them?
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing whether or not some players take a
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: little bit less. I know Geelong have always sort of
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: gone with that. They don't pay any one particular player
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: a huge amount of money. And I guess that's the
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: issue for a side like the Bulldogs now. If you're
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: going to play Zach Butters, $ 1. 8 million or whatever it is,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: that's great.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: But it means... Everyone else is going to be restless.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: That's right. You know, there's a little bit less for
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: everyone else.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Or, you know, then you can pay Sam Darcy and
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Marcus Bontempelli and Ed Richards, but then you've only got
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: slim pickings at the end. And so, therefore, their bottom six,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: you're going to struggle because you just don't have the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: pulling power.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Got to get to another quick break, but another point
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: of the grand final we haven't touched on yet. How
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: do we think Kylie went?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Sonny!
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: Yes?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I'm home! La-la-la!
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: Oh, you got this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: La, la, la.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: La, la, la.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: So the crowd getting into a bit of Kylie, what
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: do you think? I thought she was great. I am
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a big fan, though, Sammy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I think we need, I'm a big fan of Kylie,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: and I'm also a fan, though, I think it's time
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: for a twilight or a night green. It looks so
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: much better when it's at night time. Fireworks during the day,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: which they try, they do not work.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: No, don't worry.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: We'll touch on you being a big Kylie and probably
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: belting out locomotion in a second. But after going to
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the prelim the weekend before, Hawthorne, Lyons, 4.45 start our time,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: 5.15 their time.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I was never on board. I'm on board now. It's
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: a no-brainer for me. It just looks so much better.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: And you're going to have a bigger audience watching through. Obviously,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: that's what Channel 7 wants. I don't understand what the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: big rumor all about changing it is.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I don't want a night one.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I don't get it either. Yeah, nights may be a
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: bit late. It's a long wait then for the day,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: isn't it?
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: But a twilight, five o'clock star.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Good for TV. They're the ones paying the billion dollars.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I think they've you know, probably deserve to have a
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: larger audience. And I know there's a lot of people
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: saying tradition. We change the rules every five minutes.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: No, we change the rules all the time. We change
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the interpretation of the rules from week to week.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: But that said, people are very passionate about it's the
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: one thing that hasn't changed.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Leave it as it is. I think it's inevitable, though.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's coming. It's coming.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: But the discussion that we have every single year, March, April, May,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: will it be?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Probably. Will it change? Never changes.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: But they always love to have the discussion and the headline.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: And then you've got someone like Eddie Maguire, who I
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: really like and respect, Eddie, but half the time he
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: just wants to hear his own voice, talking about, oh,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: we should have a Sunday grand final and make it
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: a public holiday in Melbourne on the Monday. Well, no,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not in favour of a Sunday grand final because
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: you need your Sunday to... Recover.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Recover. That's what you do.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: If they have a public holiday, they can do that,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't work for anyone else. Anyway, love your
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: thoughts on that. Should it be a night-time grand final
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: or an afternoon grand final? Con from McGill. Disgraceful that
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the sellout Oz versus five-time World Cup winners Brazil game
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday the 29th of September.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: is not on free-to-air.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's disappointing. So they played Friday night. Nestor at Irincunda,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: what a goal. So 1-1 that game was. Socceroos almost
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: won that. So they play again tomorrow night in Brisbane.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I think the first one was in Townsville. But that
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: is disappointing. It would be good to have that on
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: free-to-air because, you know, when you get to play, now,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: albeit it's only a friendly, so to speak, a friendly,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: but it would be nice to have that so that
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: everyone can see it.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're losing more and more things from
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: free-to-air TV.
• 27:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, or.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: subscription like Paramount or... Amazon for the cricket. Exactly.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: You know, things where it's harder and harder for people
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: just to go and watch it comfortably on their free-to-air channels.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: And I've been big on this.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: As a supercar supporter, there is almost a direct correlation
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: of attendances to supercar events from when they went exclusively
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: to Fox.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: They have four or five rounds a year on Channel
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: 7 on free-to-air TV.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: But And I know the teams get so much more
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: money for how Fox Sports deal. But unless you go
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: to Bathurst every year or here in Adelaide, it's packed.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: The vision of events lately compared to the mid to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: late 2000s, it's just drastically different.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Less people, less following. People don't even.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Hand on heart, who knew the bend was taking place?
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: And that is the precursor to Bathurst a couple of
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. That is the warm-up to the biggest event
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: of the year. Did anyone know it was in town?
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: And I know with the NBL, so they've just gone
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: from pay TV back to Channel 9. And I think
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: the first round, I was speaking to someone who's reasonably
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: high up at the NBL, and they said, I think
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: they're 50% up on the numbers from the first week
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: of Compared with Fox now, and it was on the
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: secondary channels for Nine, and it's just because.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It's the access. Yeah, you make it easy, people will come. Yeah, people, exactly.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: So I get it, though, and probably the same thing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: I think they're taking a hit initially because Nine perhaps
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: aren't giving as much money, but just the exposure that
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: you get and the growth of the sport.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: It's got to be a good thing. Exactly right. Quick break.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Plenty more sport to chat about afterwards. Tommy Renn in
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the chair for Ned McHenry this morning, 24 to 6.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Keep the calls coming, 8223 0000.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: We home Alabama all summer long. 20-6 on this Monday.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Neddy off for a couple more days.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: He'll be on with Drive with Timmy G from 4
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: o'clock this afternoon.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Tommy Wren in the chair.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Been talking a lot about the grand final, but plenty
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: more sport going on as well. I've got to do
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: a big shout out to a listener that I found
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: out over the weekend.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, do it. Brian Hallion. Big, big high fiver. Loves
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: listening to 5AA. So shout out to Brian. Good listener.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: To sport. At least Fremantle got a win over the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: weekend though, Tommy. AFLW?
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Fremantle win away from home in a big, big statement
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: for their 26th season because with huge questions ahead of.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Themselves as they look forward to the second.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Half of the year. 25 points to the final margin.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: 5-5-35.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: The Dockers, 9-6-16.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Expertly called by our very own Patrick Goldsmith and Jenny Williams.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: The Crows going down by 25 points. They're not what
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: they would have wanted, but Freo, at least they got
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: a win.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: They got a win.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Probably not the one they would have liked, but look,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: that's good for their women's team. Not a great weekend
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: for our two local sides in the AFLW. Port also
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: got done. That was a few days ago now. That was,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I think, on the Friday, so disappointing there.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: By 13 points by the Bulldogs.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so probably... Finals out of reach now, you would think,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: for the Power. They've lost four in a row and
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: the Crows are starting to look pretty difficult as well.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: So not good there. There was a fair bit happening
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: as well yesterday, Sammy, with regards to the NRL for
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: all of the Rugby League fans out there. So it's
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: prelim final week. The Sydney Roosters went through on the
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Friday night. They had a victory there. against the Dolphins,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: who were looking for their first ever grand final, but
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: the Roosters a little bit too good. And then Penrith,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: who have been a bit like Brisbane. They've been the
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: dominant force. I think they won four in a row.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: They've been absolutely outstanding with the father-son combo, Ivan and
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Nathan Cleary.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Dad's the coach. Son's the star player of the competition.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Anyway, they're in the prelim against Newcastle, who have long
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: been sort of the laughingstock of the last 10 or
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: 15 years. Matthew Johns, Andrew Johns, rather, used to play there.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: An amazing player. commentator now. Newcastle leading 16-14. Penrith attacking.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: They're only about 10 metres out, looking to score, win
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: the game, go through to a grand final. There's about
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: 45 seconds to go, and then this happens.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: Back in ball.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: In a set. Sandin Smith is running away. Newcastle running home.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: It's going to be two tries for the Newcastle number seven,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: and for the.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: First time, That was unbelievable. So the Knights won that
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: game 22-14.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: You heard the call.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Brendan Speed on Channel 9 there. Brilliant call.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Panthers throw the ball in. Knights play just pounced intercepts
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: and away he goes. And the crowd just, you could
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: hear it just going off. So we had our drama
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: with the AFL over the weekend, which deserves so much discussion.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: And we've talked a lot about it this morning. But
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: that was incredible. So well done to the Newcastle Knights.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Good to see them through to the grand final.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Do you think the NRL has a big following in
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: South Australia? Not massive. I think there are a few
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: people that watch it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Like me, I'll watch it like yesterday.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I'll go, bread and final song. Got to take it
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: into passing interest. But not huge. We had the Rams
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: in here. I guess they're not enough to bring back
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the Rams. The Rams, yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: You'd be probably a bit too young to remember them,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: but they were... Here for a couple of years, they
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: tried to expand. And it was great. Didn't quite work,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: but that was a bit of fun. Other sports, Sammy,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: over the weekend, overnight, the Aussies played in a cricket match.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: It was in Johannesburg, I think, against South Africa. Three-match,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: one-day series. And South Africa made a nine for 365
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: from their 50 overs. High altitude, so the ball travels
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: a long way. David Miller, though, what an innings. 142
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: of just 93 balls, and Temba Bavuma, the captain, he
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: made 103. And the Aussies got close, but they fell
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: 32 runs short. Mitch Marsh and Travis Head each made 84.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: But after those two, unfortunately, a lot of starts. No
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: one really went on with it. Xavier Bartlett made 50
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: at the end. And Jack Edwards took five wickets, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: the Aussies go down there.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: So just before you move on from that, when do
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the tests start over there, more importantly?
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I reckon it's October 9th. So this is the first
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: one since Sandpaper Gate. So there's going to be a
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: lot of, you know, I guess, spotlight over there on
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: the Aussie players.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Steve Smith is the only one really from that trio
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: that is still going.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: And he was central to it, of course.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Remember, he was the captain and lost the captaincy after that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: So he'll cop it. I'm sure he's ready for it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: but that's going to be a pretty brutal test series
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: for him. It's going to be one to watch. It's
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: going to be one to watch, definitely.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: The other thing, too, as people are waking up this morning, Sam,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: is we've got this competition called the President's Cup. Now,
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: this is where Team USA, you have 12 members. from
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: USA in golf, play against 12 internationals. There's the Ryder Cup,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: which is America versus Europe. This is separate to that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: This is the international. So it's every other country except
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: for the Europeans. So that's called the Ryder Cup. So
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: you've got a lot of players from South Korea, Australia,
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: New Zealand, South Africa, Canada. and the USA team have
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: always dominated the internationals, smacked them. In fact, the only
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: time the internationals competition started in 1994, they usually play
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: it biannually, so every two years, and always Team USA
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: win it. The internationals have only won once, 1998.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: It was in Melbourne.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: But this weekend, it's in America, the internationals, they're up
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: 10.5 points to 7.5. So each match, there are 30
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: matches in total, is worth one point. And today, all
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: 12 players play single matches. So it might be, you know,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Sam Datto against Tom Wren, and whoever wins, they win
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: one point for either Team USA or the internationals. It
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: is going down right to the wire as it stands
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: at the moment. The internationals are leading 11.5 to 10.5.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: but it's projected the way they're falling that it's going
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: to be 15-15, so it could be a tie. So
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: that is going to go right to the wire. We're
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: obviously going for the internationals. We've got Adam Scott in
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: there and Aussie. He's losing his match at the moment.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: He's two down against Patrick Cantlay through 12 holes, so
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: he's got to win two holes. And Minwoo Lee's also
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: out there, and Aussie, he's one down against Jacob Bridgman.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: So we need the Aussies to step up. If Minwoo
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Lee can even just get his match even and win
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: half a point, that might be enough for the internationals
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: to get it done.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: How do they break a tie? They don't. So if
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: it's tied after 18 holes, you get half a point each. Okay.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: And if you obviously are one up, then you win
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: the point. So obviously each hole, I've got to try
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: and beat you. It's match play. So if we both
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: have a four on the hole, the hole is tied.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: If you have a three and I have a four,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: you win the hole, so you go one up.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: That's how it works in match play. So there's all
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: these little things. Like I can give you a putt.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: If there's a putt from, say, two feet, I can say, nah, Sammy,
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: you can have that one. So there's all this etiquette
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: of when do you give them a putt? If it's
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: four feet, you obviously make them putt it or– you know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. So it's pretty tense and
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: it's pretty raucous, but hopefully the internationals can get it done.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: And we touched on it just before the break, Adelaide 36ers,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the NBL is back on again.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: That's come around very quick. Hasn't it? And remember the
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Sixers got oh so close last season. So close.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: That was devastating. They lost in Game 5 to the
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Sydney Kings. They had a loss the other night to
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: the Perth Wildcats. They lost by a point in what
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: was Trevor Gleeson's first game against his old side. I
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: thought they actually treated him beautifully. They gave him a
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: standing ovation before the game. I mean, he's a multi-time
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: premiership coach there, championship coach. But anyway, it was their
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: first home game of the season, the Sixers, yesterday. and
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: just a little bit too good for Cairns. They won 83-69.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Bryce Cotton again, 25 points, so that's good. Rukosevic was
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: also really good. He had 21 points. They need to
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: find a few other avenues. Trevor Gleeson, the coach, spoke
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: about that, saying we need to start to share the
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: love and stop relying so heavily on Bryce Cotton, but
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: they're 2-1 to start the season.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: That was the game plan, it felt like, in the
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: grand final series, when things were going a bit to,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: you know what, just give it to Bryce and hope
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: he does it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: And it's... You need more than that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: That works during a regular season. It doesn't hold up
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: in a five-game final series.
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: You get worked out pretty quickly when you're playing the
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: same opponent four to five times and that's your one
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: game plan of just hope you can get it done.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah and they've got Isaac Humphries I think on the
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: injury list there's Bull Kowal who'll probably come back about
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: December January he's widely regarded as one of the best
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: defensive players so there is depth coming but they need
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: to they need to shoulder that load more Sammy you're
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: right otherwise it's it's too much for one man for
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a whole season to carry the load you just can't do.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: It Tony from Paraka.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Just on my way home from a long night shift
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: to watch Adelaide's Troy Bronson race in the mountain bike
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: downhill world comp from the Whistlers British Columbia. Tony from
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Monarchy Farm. Thank you for that, Tony. Let us know
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: how that goes. Another one here, 395. Fagan is the key.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: An old fox, a fisher, a man, a true genius.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: What a game.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Well, he's obviously just got the respect of the players.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: You can see how much they love him. I don't
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: know if you saw the photo of the nightclub.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I think it was. He's on his shoulders. Oh, he's
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: on his shoulders. Is that Draper? I think so.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: That had him or one of the players, maybe it
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: was Harris Andrews, actually, I think, the captain and had
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: him on his shoulders and they clearly love him. And
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: he's clearly got that relationship where it's almost like you
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: guys play, but I'll just sort of push you around where.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I need to. And, But there's that full respect there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: It's pretty amazing. Never played the game at the highest level.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: He was a good state footballer for Tassie. Good state footballer.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Was at Hawthorne for a long time. So he's got
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: the respect. Knows how to get the best out of
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: his players. And, I mean, the record speaks for itself now,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: doesn't it? He's a three-time premiership coach. He's in extremely
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: rare areas. He's one of the greats of all time.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Here is a bit of fags on the future of
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: the club.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: I've been coaching the club for 10 years now and
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: I've got to work out whether it's the right thing
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: to continue on, which might sound a strange thing for
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: me to say. after we've just won a premiership, but
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: I don't really want to be that guy that hangs
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: around until we fail. And there's a little bit inside
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: me that would rather walk away when the team's on top,
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: I've got to be honest. It's sort of the dream
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: way to finish in many ways.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: So if you're putting your money on it now, Tommy,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: does he coach next year?
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I'd say yes.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: I think he'll have his arm twisted enough and, you know,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: the lure of going one more.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Probably 50-50, though. I mean, you listen to that and
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: it sounds like... He's more out the door than in. Exactly.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: But I think once they sit him down and say... Faggs,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: you've got an opportunity to do something pretty amazing.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe one more. So he's 65. It's interesting, though. As
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: he said, he's been in the club for 10 years.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: What's his retirement age?
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: 67?
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: 67 now.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think he'll need the pension, right? Yeah.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: But with Faggs, 10 years at the club, four grand finals,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: three wins in a row, all the systems and everything's
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: in place. So, yes, obviously being a head coach of
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: a footy side is taxing enough as it is, but
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: everything's in place. So you've got to go for one more.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Got to go for one more. It's not like the
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: list is getting older, is it? Like I said, the
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: Ashcroft boys, they're only just starting. Logan Morris, he's a baby.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I think he's 21. You know, they've got this nucleus,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: this midfield coming through. Annabelle was another one. We spoke
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: about father-sons that they've picked up cheap. We haven't even
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: seen him yet. they've got this amazing window. I mean,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: if he did go, could you imagine the coaches falling
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: over themselves to try and get to Brisbane?
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't have Adam Simpson and John Longmore pulling out
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: of that racing gig for the gig for that.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Would you be a plum job? The only issue there
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: would be anything you do. That's not winning a grand
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: final failure. You're a failure. So it's a high bar, but,
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: it would still be a pretty nice job to take on,
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: wouldn't it?
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: What about Anthony here on the text line? Anthony from Middleton,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't listen. I didn't watch the grand final either.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: What a waste of time it would have been. Crow's
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: a port man there, Anthony?
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: Maybe?
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Well, if your team's not in it, I guess, yeah,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: you just go, I'm not interested. Couldn't give a toss.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: But what a grand final. One of the best we've seen,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: For the last two matches of the year, Hawks-Brisbane into
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: the grand final is some of the best football I
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: think we've seen in a very long time.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: And it just feels like Brisbane, Sammy- Whenever they want to,
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: they've just got, and you know cars better than me,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: but they've got a sixth gear, don't they? They've got
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: a gear that no one else has got in the gearbox.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: There's something they can do that other teams can't. They
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: can go to another level, and we saw it on
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: the weekend. And, yeah, other sides can match it and often,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: you know, can even beat them at times. for periods
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: in the game, but when they really want to go
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: and they just find another level, and we've seen it
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: in those two games, they were gone both times, yet
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: somehow managed to find a way.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Exactly right.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Eight minutes to six. Another quick break coming up. Tony
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: from Seton, we'll get to you in a moment. Another
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: time for another Cold War Tour as well.
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: 8223 0000.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Anything that you want to chat about, any other sport
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: that we've just discussed, you can jump on the phones.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Three minutes to six. Tony from Seton, good morning. Tony,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: you there?
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Tony's not there. Let's head out to Henley Beach instead. Alan,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: good morning to you.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning.
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: How are you, boys?
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Good, thanks, Alan. How are you going?
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: Here's a thought.
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: Chris Fagan might retire, but he might sort it back
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: down to Tasmania and get involved with that club for
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: a bit of a boost for the future.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe team up there with Kenny Hinckley?
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I reckon there's a chance, like, yeah, he won't
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: give up football altogether, but I reckon he'll be pretty
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: valuable down there if he took that on to go
• 43:18
  Speaker 11: back home.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: I reckon he can write his own ticket wherever he
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: wants now, Alan Carney, with what he's been able to achieve.
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: Absolutely.
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: Is there any other Chris Farker who's living in Adelaide
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: to coach one of our sides?
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: I think a few fans would be pretty happy, although
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: he must be, I reckon this might be, I tend
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: to think this might be one of his last jobs,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: although maybe he wants to stay involved.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Keep the mind going.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: You know, if he's still in good physical condition, 65,
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: like you said, Sammy, the new 50.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Can you be bothered? Yeah, well, that's right. And that's it. Like,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he's got grandkids. He's got nothing to prove. He's got
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: nothing to prove. He's got a three-peat now.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: The vision of him in the rooms afterwards holding all
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: the cups, is there just not a better picture than that?
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, though, it's funny because in, like,
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: the English Premier League, for example, and other soccer leagues
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: around the world, we see managers going well into their 70s.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: We just don't see it that often here.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: NRL.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I forget. Wayne Bennett. Wayne Bennett. How old is he
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: these days? He coached the Dolphins. He'd have to be.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Look it up, Sammy.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: I reckon he'd have to be well into his 70s.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: And he's been coaching now for, goodness, 30, 40 years.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: 76.
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: 76.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: There you go. A lot of the guys in the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: States go for a very long time. Yeah. Greg Popovich
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: ran for a long time at the Spurs.
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: He got.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Tom Bilicek for the Patriots. Bill Belichick, sorry, for the
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Patriots back in the day.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: They don't go early. And he's still got a college job,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I think. He does. He does. And gets paid a
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: huge coin for it too. Maybe different.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: They've got more line-up coaches. That said, they've got a
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: lot of assistants now, don't they, the AFL coaches. So, yeah,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: it all depends, I think, on the physical condition, obviously
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: the mind, whether that's still working, they're communicating, they've got
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: the players, all of that stuff.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of texts before we get out of here. Hi, guys.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Big shout out to Sam Goodman.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: He won the Welterweight World Championships yesterday in Japan.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: That's a great result.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Another one. Where is it?
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: What a game last night with the Wallabies. That's from Joe,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: another high fiver.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Wallabies did get up yesterday. I forget the score, but
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: I think they played South Africa semi yesterday. You might
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: be able to do a quick Google while we're Having
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: a look, the Wallabies had a win, though.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: That is good.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: We spoke about Rugby League this morning. Obviously, the NRL,
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: the two prelims, and now I've got the grand final. But, yeah,
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: that was a high-scoring game.
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: I think 42-38.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Australia beat the Springboks, South Africa. So really good result there. Tommy,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: thank you for your time this morning.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Pleasure.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: No, thanks for having me. We'll see you.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow again for early breakfast.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, we'll talk some sport.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: For your sport as per normal. At this stage, I'm
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: probably going to be on my own at 5 o'clock.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: So the high-fivers, get involved.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Need your help.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we need you. 8223 0000. Until then, 5AA Breakfast
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: coming up. But now it's over to the newsroom with
