Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: 25-6, going for a top of 18 degrees today. Currently
- 0:04Speaker 1: 8.2 in the city.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, well, well.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Royalty has arrived. Look who has arisen. He has answered
- 0:12Speaker 3: our phone call. Good morning to the one and only stud,
- 0:15Speaker 3: Graham Corns.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Hello. Oh, Ned, you are a little pest. Can't a
- 0:22Speaker 2: man sleep in? Stunned.
- 0:24Speaker 3: We've heard rumours that occasionally you might catch parts of
- 0:28Speaker 3: the show and we wanted to wake you up and
- 0:30Speaker 3: get you on. You should see how many texts that
- 0:32Speaker 3: are calling for you this morning.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. No, but actually sometimes my daughter starts
- 0:37Speaker 2: work really early and I'm in the car driving her
- 0:40Speaker 2: to work and I tune into you guys. But it's
- 0:43Speaker 2: always too late to ring. You're always like a... So
- 0:46Speaker 2: 10 to 6, you're always about to go to an
- 0:48Speaker 2: ad break or go to the news.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Well, Cornsy, you're a man from footy. You give feedback.
- 0:53Speaker 1: You give direct feedback. Do you have any critiques or
- 0:56Speaker 1: things that Ned and I can work on? We're only
- 0:58Speaker 1: young capers in this game.
- 1:00Speaker 2: No, you're doing right. There's always a place for young,
- 1:03Speaker 2: enthusiastic talent, and both of you have got it. I mean,
- 1:09Speaker 2: the way you operate that panel is intriguing. Because it's
- 1:14Speaker 2: still a mystery to me, that panel. I mean, all
- 1:16Speaker 2: these buttons and slides, but I know about four of
- 1:20Speaker 2: them to get us to air. But no, I mean,
- 1:24Speaker 2: I enjoy listening in because of the enthusiasm, and it's
- 1:27Speaker 2: a slightly different perspective to, say, KGNI, which you can understand,
- 1:32Speaker 2: I'd imagine.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Stud's a high-fiver. I can't believe this, Stud. So we'll
- 1:36Speaker 3: get through your kind of sleeping patterns and how that
- 1:39Speaker 3: all looks in a moment. But, Stud, we've got texts
- 1:42Speaker 3: asking for your take on what the Crows need to
- 1:44Speaker 3: do regarding the trade movement. Can you just give us
- 1:47Speaker 3: a slight summary on where to next for the Adelaide
- 1:49Speaker 3: Footy Club?
- 1:50Speaker 2: Well, look, guys... When you look at what happened on
- 1:54Speaker 2: the weekend, it was a disaster, but it was predictable.
- 1:58Speaker 2: What wasn't predictable was how efficient Brisbane were going to
- 2:02Speaker 2: be in those first five minutes. But when you looked
- 2:05Speaker 2: at the midfield, when you just looked at the midfield, Obviously,
- 2:09Speaker 2: we have Rankin and Dawson who are definitely A-graders. But
- 2:13Speaker 2: you look at Brisbane, I've got about six or seven.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You look at the Berry, Ashcroft, Bailey, Dunkley, Neal, McLuggage,
- 2:22Speaker 2: and Rayner starting. That goal of Rayner's where he just
- 2:26Speaker 2: brushed off Alex Neil Bullen, I mean, that's classic. It's
- 2:30Speaker 2: an indictment of Adelaide, even though Neil Bullen has been
- 2:33Speaker 2: great for Adelaide and an endorsement of Brisbane. So, They
- 2:38Speaker 2: have to strengthen their midfield. There's no doubt about that.
- 2:41Speaker 2: They need virtually all three areas across the ground, midfield,
- 2:48Speaker 2: defence and attack. they're lacking a really big, strong, rebounding
- 2:56Speaker 2: defender or intercept marking defender, should I say. Who is
- 3:00Speaker 2: Adelaide's intercept marking defender apart from Josh Worrell? So they
- 3:06Speaker 2: need strengthening in their defence. They need more power in
- 3:10Speaker 2: their midfield and they need more ground level pressure and
- 3:14Speaker 2: desperation and let's say, who's Adelaide's Charlie Cameron? Is it Well.
- 3:23Speaker 3: I think it's Rankin when he is ahead of the ball,
- 3:25Speaker 3: but they've tried to utilise him in the midfield.
- 3:26Speaker 1: A bit more.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Definitely Rankin, but he's been so good in the midfield
- 3:32Speaker 2: towards the end of the year. He was one of
- 3:34Speaker 2: the league's top-ranking midfielders. So the big question is, and
- 3:41Speaker 2: a lot of people are asking it, what do they
- 3:44Speaker 2: do with Joshua Shelley? So brilliant when he wants to be,
- 3:49Speaker 2: but so... I don't want to bag the guy, but
- 3:54Speaker 2: he doesn't always produce. Is he there to trade, or
- 3:59Speaker 2: do you keep him? Ned, you're closer to that, but
- 4:04Speaker 2: there's a lot of discussion about whether he should be
- 4:08Speaker 2: traded and what could Adelaide get for him. And if
- 4:12Speaker 2: he was traded, are they going for draft picks, which
- 4:15Speaker 2: means that someone who's going to bring extra talent to
- 4:18Speaker 2: your club is three or four years away from doing that.
- 4:22Speaker 2: it's frustrating. I think they're, I think they're, the team
- 4:29Speaker 2: that assembles the players has let them down. You know,
- 4:35Speaker 2: they're a list management team. They're not, I mean, they're,
- 4:39Speaker 2: They're not a top four list, are they?
- 4:44Speaker 3: I don't think yet. That's a good footy summary, Stud.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I just want to quickly move on.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Before we move on to some sleeping puns, I want
- 4:50Speaker 1: to quickly ask you, Stud, Sunday at the Adelaide Oval, 1978,
- 4:54Speaker 1: the last time Sturt and Norwood have played each other
- 4:57Speaker 1: in a grand final. What are your thoughts and what
- 4:59Speaker 1: are we going to see on Sunday?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Well, I would have thought Sturt, having come back to
- 5:04Speaker 2: the prelim final, is... are better prepared, given, you know,
- 5:08Speaker 2: Norwood's been sitting around for a couple of weeks. But
- 5:11Speaker 2: I think they've had a couple of injuries which may hurt.
- 5:14Speaker 2: But all things being equal, I would say Stuart would
- 5:19Speaker 2: be better prepared for it. And they owe them, I think.
- 5:23Speaker 2: They owe them from that disaster of 78, which was
- 5:28Speaker 2: impacted by an umpiring decision. But you guys are too
- 5:31Speaker 2: young to remember that.
- 5:32Speaker 3: No, Peter was talking about it as well, Peter from Miles,
- 5:34Speaker 3: and he mentioned that. Stud, so sleeping-wise, so you've woken up.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Where to now? Will you have a glass of water?
- 5:40Speaker 3: What does your first kind of hour or so look
- 5:42Speaker 3: like for your day?
- 5:43Speaker 2: Well, strangely enough, Ned, I will have a glass of water.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I thought so.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Yeah. And then I have to put some eye drops in.
- 5:57Speaker 2: What else?
- 5:58Speaker 3: Bowl of cereal?
- 6:00Speaker 1: Pardon?
- 6:01Speaker 3: What do you have for breakfast?
- 6:04Speaker 2: Well, this is a bit of a production. I have
- 6:06Speaker 2: a later breakfast. It'll be... You really don't want to
- 6:10Speaker 2: know this.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Stud is a man of routine. You should see this
- 6:13Speaker 1: man in 5AA every Saturday morning. He comes well-prepared with
- 6:18Speaker 1: his breakfast and his exercises and his donut. It's a
- 6:22Speaker 1: sight to behold. Do you do that every morning, Stud,
- 6:24Speaker 1: or is that just something to get you ready to
- 6:26Speaker 1: go on air?
- 6:27Speaker 2: I don't do the donut every morning, no, but... Breakfast
- 6:30Speaker 2: is pretty similar, you know, the fruit. I've introduced some
- 6:38Speaker 2: extra cereal into it. Sometimes it's a slice of bacon
- 6:42Speaker 2: and a cup of eggs. Then some nut nuts, like almonds, walnuts,
- 6:48Speaker 2: something like that. Sort of healthy.
- 6:51Speaker 3: And do you dream stuff?
- 6:53Speaker 2: Do I dream? This is a serious topic. Sometimes I do.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Unpleasant dreams.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
- 7:02Speaker 3: No, and being completely understand. I didn't mean it like that, Stud.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I kind of was more saying it lightheartedly, but I
- 7:08Speaker 3: understand the sacrifices you've made, so I'm sure at times
- 7:10Speaker 3: that would be hard.
- 7:12Speaker 2: No, I think we're okay. I'll forgive you for that.
- 7:16Speaker 2: That's okay. Okay.
- 7:18Speaker 3: All right, Stud. Well, it's wonderful to hear from you.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I think, yeah, at 5.41, I don't want to get
- 7:23Speaker 3: into the weeds.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Well done, Stud.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I think you are now our most high-profile high-fiver, so
- 7:29Speaker 1: you are leading the pack. Thank you, Stud. Feel free
- 7:32Speaker 1: to call in any time.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah, well, ring me again at 5.30, you turkey.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Can we call you at 5.30 randomly now?
- 7:42Speaker 2: Well, that would depend.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That would be a no.
- 7:45Speaker 2: That would depend. You might check in with me first
- 7:48Speaker 2: the day before. Okay.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Love your work, Stud. You are the greatest of all time.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Thank you so much for coming on.
- 7:53Speaker 2: See you, boys.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Goodbye. See you, Stud.
- 7:56Speaker 2: He's a high-fiver!
- 7:58Speaker 3: Stud's a high-fiver! I can't believe we've had the Stud
- 8:00Speaker 3: on at 5.30am. I told you.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You didn't believe me.
- 8:03Speaker 3: He said he had caught parts.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Of the show. Yeah.
- 8:05Speaker 3: No, that's huge. Really good news.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
- 8:10Speaker 3: 5AA Early Breakfast.
