• 0:00
  Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and you just crack.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Gags get ready for it added a lot of color
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: humor time.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: He went to boss level for barra's beards have some
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of this bang.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Good morning barra good day maca yes it's uh it's
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: like christmas eve for some people isn't it yeah the
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: night before the grand final and I actually thought all
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: week I've been thinking, oh, Brizzy's going to win.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Too experienced. Dockers, young blokes could get overawed. Street parade
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: today about to start in Melbourne. The grand final parade,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the hype, the purple everywhere. 100,000 people.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Kylie.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You use a lot of energy, I can tell you,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: having been through it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But now it's going to be wet.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a wet grand final. It's going
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to make a difference, isn't it? And I think the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Dockers can win now. I think the weather will suit
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Fremantle more than It doesn't suit Brisbane. They play that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: big kick and mark game. And so it's actually not
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: going to be ideal for them. So I'm happy to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: say the Dockers by five points. I think they can
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: get the job done.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: What about you, Macca?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Look, I was talking to someone yesterday, Brisbane Lions supporter.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: They're like Brisbane all the way. Obviously, as you said,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: they have the experience. Fremantle, they missed out last time.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: This time is their chance. In my heart of hearts,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I really hope they do get this one.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And that's from a Collingwood supporter.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You only hate the Eagles.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: No, that's exactly right. But yeah, no, I think Dockers
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: should do this, especially it being wet.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Andy Brayshaw to win the Dockers' first Norm Smith medal too.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Not only because he's the world's best bloke, but he'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: be right in there. I reckon after the match, you'll
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: find out who's been injured. I reckon Josh Tracy is
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: carrying either a.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Shoulder or an elbow injury.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: He hasn't been playing golf for a lot of months,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so there's something going on there. Because after the game,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that's what happened. Then Murphy Reid comes out and says, oh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: my groin injury is much worse than reported. He lost
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of confidence because when you get hit in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that vulnerable area, understandably, you're not that keen to go
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: back in.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Even though he's wearing a sort of a box thing, like...
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not exposing myself to that pain again. And then
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the Lockie Neal decision. What a bizarre decision it looks
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like now. To miss a grand final, you're going to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: have to really, really do something really serious. I mean,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that was a gut punch, no doubt about it. Your
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Brizzy even asked, how's this? You'll love this as a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Collingwood fan. Brisbane, they started out by saying, look, suspending
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: for round one next year. I mean, a grand final
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is way too much. Penalty is too big, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to miss a grand final. And guess where he's going
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to be next year?
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Collingwood.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Playing for Collingwood.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: So round one, we're going to miss him, are we?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't affect Brisbane at all. So the appeal board
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: basically said, yeah, yeah, he gut punched him. But have
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you seen how well behaved he's been otherwise?
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: What was that all about?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, what?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: He's been very good. They said exceptional and compelling circumstances.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That is that his exemplary record never suspended in 302 games.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He has been fined three times for striking, though. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: didn't mention that. So, basically, that's tribunal language for, look,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we know what he did, but he's Lockie Neal.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Come on. He's a dual Brownland medalist, a grand final.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Come on. Let's just let him off. Anyway, he did.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: It feels like that, doesn't it?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I loved Rita Safioti.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I saw her at the final training session at Coburn,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and she was saying that she's very upset about how
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: many tickets were available for Dockers fans. And I found this, too.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: this year's the most requests I've ever had for tickets
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to the grand final. Like I've been to all the Eagles,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: like four, four, four Eagles flag or five grand finals
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and six, actually six. And this time the, the Dockers
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: fans only got 17 and a half thousand tickets, right?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And they've got 70,000 members. So you have one in
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: four chance really of getting a ticket.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's just not right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: If they're going to make us go to over there
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to play, how about you give us a chance to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: actually go to the game as well? Like, So she's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: doing some work on that. What about Oscar Allen too, eh?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Where's his decision to leave West Coast?
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He's playing in the grand final. The captain of the Eagles.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: How do you feel about that?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I feel strange. If I was playing on him, I'd
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: be letting him know as well.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The AFL's approved woofy time at the G2, so that's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: going to be amazing. The one giant purple panic button,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you know, that they have. They get to use it
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: once after a goal, four minutes to go, something like that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Imagine if that happens at the G. Well, that's going
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to be a special occasion, isn't it? If that actually
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: gets played, it will be a special occasion. It can
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: only go for 30 seconds, but all of Victoria's about
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to find out about it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's enormous.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And so it's our own little piece of Perth at
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the MCG. Hell's bells, waves crashing, 30,000 West Aussies screaming.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: This will pump everyone up.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I should be.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I should be so lucky to be the song winner.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Should we be doing that one?
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: She'll be doing plenty of them, I'm sure.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: What's your first?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Your favourite's Locomotion, I heard.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Is that because I'm a Collingwood supporter?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Better the devil you know, actually.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure, thanks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, just so you know, important information here for people
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: watching tomorrow. Someone called G Flip, he's on at 11.25.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Yo, yo.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know G Flip?
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know him personally, but I have heard.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I have no clue.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: The retirees' motorcade is 11.33, so Jamie Cripps will be there,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Famous Eagle, obviously Sidey, Sidebottom, one of your boys, all
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the guys going around.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That's always super emotional.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Sam Switkowski, when he's going to do his,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: because this is his last game for the Dockers, his
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: last game in footy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Grand final.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: This is it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So he'll come back next year, I suppose. Then 11.39
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is Kylie. So Kylie fans, write that down.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Should I be so lucky?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: 11. Better the devil you know, of course. 11.39. 11.39.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: And 11.33 is as the motorcade goes around of the retirees.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That's Mike Brady. What would he be singing, you reckon?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Up There, Kazaley.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Unless he's got a new song out I don't know about.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: How much money has he made from Up There, Kazaley?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Greatest song, though.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Up There, Kazaley. You do it well. So 12.30, the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: game starts too. So make sure you get out a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: bit early. There's also a big game, big rugby game
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in Perth on Sunday. So this has been incredible. The
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Wallabies are playing the Springboks, right? So two of the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: world's great teams.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: It really has been overshadowed, hasn't it?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It's at Optus on Sunday. And the Dockers will be
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: coming back in. I think they might even be going
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: through Fremantle in an open top bus.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think that might be their plan. Anyway.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The, um, so what a scheduling error putting, uh, the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Wallabies game on 24 hours after the Dockers grand final.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going to happen there. Half
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the city will still be wearing purple and the other
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: half will be hung over and purple glitter in their
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: hair if they do get there. So, uh, we have
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: got a Wallabies flanker from WA, Carlo Tisano, who's playing
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: as well. So a bit there and the Wildcats are playing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Their season is underway.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? No. It's a big game last night.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: It's really, the whole, the whole Dockers purple army, like
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: the whole thing is just overshadowed.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The red army's just been overshadowed, haven't they? And the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: blue army.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the blue wave, whatever they call it, the force.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: The Perth Wildcats, amazing win last night over the Adelaide 36ers.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: This was actually amazing. Any other day, this would be amazing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Bryce Cotton playing against his old club, 37 points. We're
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: thinking they're going to get nailed here by Bryce again.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: How embarrassing. What a nightmare.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And right at the end, Elijah Pepper has shot this
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: three-pointer from nowheresville, goes in, draws the foul. He's the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: wildcat and sensational win in the dying seconds in front
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of a huge crowd just down the road here at
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: RSC Arena.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: There's other stuff going on.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, I just wanted to mention too, going out if
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you don't mind, I want to send my love and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: respect to the family of Gary Carvoth, 60 years in radio,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: big man for telethon. I remember he went to the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Thriller in Manila and he bumped into Muhammad Ali and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he came back with his gloves, his boots, his shorts,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: all signed by Muhammad Ali. And we sold them for Telethon.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: How good is that? So just a great, great man. RIP.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And Angry Anderson too.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time with Angry Anderson in
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the 1991 grand final because I missed out and I
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: got sent out of the rooms because I was too flat.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Basically the CEO said, Barry, you're not helping.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Just get out there. You look like someone's killed you,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you know, someone in your family. So I went out
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: onto the ground and Angry Anderson was there in the Batmobile.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You've seen that vision?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I have, yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm with Deke and Lionel Rose and Fennec, Jimmy Steins,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the awesome foursome. And it was probably the worst, apart
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: from Meatloaf, the worst ever performance at a grand final
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: because his earpiece came out or something.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He couldn't get it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: He wasn't as bad as Meatloaf.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He was singing Bound for Glory, you know, and he's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: trying to get the crowd involved. The Eagles lost by
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: 53 points that day. We lost by 53 points. And
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in fairness, Angry's performance is probably the second worst disaster
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: apart from us.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So he was a great man, though.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Real charity worker and just, you know, can focal off
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: for that grand final as well. So we send our
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: love and best wishes to his family as well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. Enjoy grand final day.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you too.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Go the Dockers.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Where are you doing it?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I'm working.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm holding the Channel 7's news together. LAUGHTER I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to be a fraud and go over there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I am an eagle. Cheapest. All right.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Barry.
