Barra joined Clairsy & Lisa in the studio to chat all things sport. It was a tearful goodbye for Carlton, as Sam Docherty announced his retirement. With the Derby on this weekend, Barra said it was a chance for the Eagles to make a statement or completely ruin Fremantle’s chances. Barra also staked out the airport yesterday in hope of catching AFL agent Nick Gieschen, who was in town amid rumours of a groundbreaking $20 million contract for Harley Reid. While there was no news on the contract, Barra was far more shocked by the price of a small cappuccino at the arrivals gate. Plus, Barra got his creative juices flowing as he imagined what Caleb Serong’s diary entry might’ve looked like after the nail-biting Collingwood match last weekend. Take a listen to hear the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We's took four with the Madrian Barrage.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning Barra, Lisa, Hey you Cleary.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How it's freezing out there.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Believable coldon here as well, but out they're incredible.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
The temperature's double from ue to two in the last
few minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm just looking on the news, says Snoops coming to
the MCG. Says Snoop Dog must be coming to the
AFL Grand Finals everywhere there is.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Is it confirmed or is it a rumor?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Very strong possibility?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That sounds interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Look, last night Hawthorne defeated Carlton at the MCG by
twenty four points. Now, I really feel for Michael Voiss.
The Blues woes are terrible. They can't make the finals.
But you know it was really hard. Was there was
a boat called Sam Dougherty who was retiring. It was
his last ever game. He'd done his retirement speech during
the week, and they started terribly the Blues. I just
(00:54):
can't believe how you could actually after the way he
spoke this week, and I could not go out there
and try to, you know, tear the place down.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They couldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And they they were like seven goals behind, really early,
early on, so one of the world's best blokes. Three
a cls he had to overcome, so three knee reconstructions,
two cancer diagnoses, chemos came back, he beat it again.
Just an incredible human being. And he's just a little
snippet of his retirement speech and when he was talking
(01:24):
about our man from w as Captain Patrick Cripps, crip.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Sorry, mate, we don't get to share that moment together.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We've been out.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
We've been out this for a long time, man, and
from crisis meeting walks on a Sunday to two beers
and oh we've been having this solid goal for a
very very long time man, and I love you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
He was talking about, of course that they'll never get
that premiership together. Yeah they dreamed of which they look
like we're going to do. They were in a premium
a couple of years ago and looking good. So yeah,
I fear for the Blues. Let's well, let's talk Derby now.
At least according to the people whose job it is
to predict these things, not us, not footy tipsters, but
people whose livelihood revolves around working on who's going to win,
(02:15):
So the bookies. According to them, the Dockers are absolute certainties. Yeah,
absolute certainty is the shortest ever price ever in a
derby in sixty one derby? Was it really the shortest ever?
It's a dollar two. I don't even know what that means,
but it's put your house on it, almost unbackable. And
(02:35):
the Eagles are twelve dollars fifty so according to them.
I mean, I bet foot is a weird game. I
know we say that, and you know things can happen,
and this is the Eagles Grand Final, really, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, well that first to be last year. They definitely
got the jump on someone. What do you call it
the Eagles Grand Final?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Well, it's sort of If I was an Eagles player,
I'd be thinking, you know what, this is our chance
to make a statement. No other game is going to
make any sort of statement.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now is a chance to win and celebra something.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, and be the Kings of Perth at.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Least I think they've had that chance every week.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But when you beat the Dockers in your own home,
simply it's more like when you see Caleb down the road,
O Caleb, we beat your mate, all that stuff, and
we're trying to ruin their chances too, which is horrible,
isn't at least that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But they're trying to ruin the dockers chances, wasn't it.
It's bruthless. I don't like that. So a weird day
yesterday for me too. I had to stake out the airport.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, seven flights had to go to you really, you
know much that is in parking piece? It's about four
hundred dollars what I was driving out coming back park
around the corner.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
No way have you been out your caravan load?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
He's got the company credit card to pay me cost
the coffee out expects of coffee there's six point fifty
for a small capucina.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Putting that in your tax?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Who are you staking?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So we heard that Nick Geeshan, who's son of by
the way, Clezy for West Perth code. Yeah, Harley Read's
manager was coming to town. It was a whisper and
one of the team TV stations has got a got
a good source somewhere they get good mail and we
knew they'd be there. Yeah, they turn up. We know
we're in the right spot. But thank god. After the
(04:28):
fourth flight that I've been to, he runted up Nick
Geeseon in town to talk contract deals with the West
Coast Eagles, and he's a little bit of what he
had to say.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
It's Harley ready to be the highest paid player in
the AFL. I don't think anyone's ready to be the
highest played player in the comfort Nowgue we're working through
nothing's finalized where negotiation, but we'll take every day as
it comes. We're talking some really long term contracts here.
It's Harlee obviously interested in playing his entire career. Yeah,
(05:00):
Harlie's enjoying his time here. And like I said before,
we're talking about what the future looks like. You know,
we're having discussions with the West Coast and we'll go
from there. But there's nothing, nothing in concrete. We're just
talking at the moment and see where we get to.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Are you moving the car when you're find looking?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, I'll tell you that. I was actually a quantity
came on Virgin Oh that's great. But we had two camera.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
We had two cameras and Sam from the West was
holding the mic and that was.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Mister ten percent right there.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Twenty millions a lot, I know, and this is we're
talking historical figures here, twenty million dollars, So I think
you'll go two years for the four mial. I think
you'll take two years four million, with the possibility of
another nine taking it out to twenty million. It's almost obscene,
isn't at least yeap three twenty year old to sign
that sort of contrent.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I thought the Buddy Franklin deal all those years ago
for nine years was a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's where we've got to Ben O'Connor from Wa in
the Tour de France. I think it's stage eighteen. He's
just done a world class climb. So not a lot
of hills around here, is there. I mean he actually
grew up in the Perth Hills or riding around the
Perth Hill.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
You clearly did not ride to school in less Murdy
like I did.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, I'm talking about the Pyrenees.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And he's still.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Bear the scars from coming off my Melbourne Star.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, okay, the hills are alive with the sound of Lisa.
The sound big the hills here, But the Alpine mountains
it might just warf and I'm not sure, but anyway,
that's where he grew up. Pimples compared to Pyrenees. Anyway,
blasted them. The three Alpine mountains. So he won the
Tour de France stage Aden, so well done to him.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
This is get a yellow jacket or something to wear
a green jacket.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The guy with.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Katcha, he's just splitzing him.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
He's going to win it by a country. But he'll
get something for being there.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I thought they got a jacket.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
He got a color. What color it was? Yeah, look
a docker's friend of mine. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He told me about Caleb Sarong's recovery after a big game.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
This is quite remarkable.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So this on the last Sunday after they beat Collingwood,
he went for a walk, He had a stretch. He
had red light therapy. Okay, I don't know what that is.
Least you ever heard of that red light therapy.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I've got thoughts me too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I can't mention him.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
With the ice bath and the sword it for the
record bath saw that's right, massage and then the one.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
That has turned and the back there this is something
landing home at one in the morning or something.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and coffee. And but what intrigued
me was his reflections book. So after every game he
has a reflections book. And now, dear Diary, I've seen
a copy of the page for round nineteen after Collingwood game.
And I'll let you work out if this is correct
or not. But here's I believe this is what he
(07:59):
said Caleb sn Dear Dear Reflections book around nineteen. Here's
what he's written. He got leaked to me. Okay, have
to knocking off the pies. Entry one gave it to
the Collingwood fans today, all sixty thousand of them blessed
their missing teeth. He's a nice boat, he's a nice blake.
(08:20):
We played like kings dominated the midfield. Nick Deakos looked
at me like he saw a ghost. Maynard tried to
run through me, weak effort. I told him. Entry to
Derby Week AKA, it's warfy time. Bookies say we're the
shortest fight favorites ever. I'm pretty sure they're trying to
(08:42):
make things interesting. Not taking the mob up the road
because he couldn't bring himself, because mob up the roads
like moltouse, mob down.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The road, Mum down the road. Just casually.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Maybe we should send out peel Thunder on Saturday, see
how they go.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And there fun pack fun fact.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
This will be the sixty first Derby and it might
be the first time Eagles fans start doing crossword puzzles
by halftime. Final note, Harley reads the gun, but if
he if he tries to break through the middle, he's
getting the full sar wrong. Welcome pack, a handshaker bump,
and a reminder you're not in Bendigo anymore, Sunshine, it's funny.
(09:23):
Galeb's goals for the week thirty touches, two goals, fifth
Glen Dinning Medal, Glendinning Allen Medal record. No injuries unless
it's from laughing. Okay, I'm not saying that's right or wrong,
but that's what I made.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We were not expecting the book reading this morning. No,
I was not his book week.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But I'm now officially going as Caleb Saro.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, can you wear a costume next time? Barrot and
you go as Harley Barrow on the way.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I couldn't look. I haven't watched me here for a while. Look,
Rip Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, age seventy one heard attack overnight transformed rest Lean
one of pop culture's most recognizable figures, became a kid's
toy and everything. It's not fake news, it's real. I'll
never forget when he body slammed Andre the giant.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Who could pick up and.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Picking up a truck that was so good and just
to be somber for one moment.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Can I mention one of the best goalkickers I ever
played against Warren Ralph. He passed away yesterday as well.
Only sixty six w a footy Hall Claremont six eighty
seven goals for Claremont played for. Carty booted nine goals
in his debut in the AFL. It's incredible nine first
ever game. Only John Coleman did better with twelve, So
(10:41):
probably the best kick I ever saw alongside Murray Cooper.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So RP best wishes to his family and friends. Thoughts
with him Chip for the weekends by Yeah, what do
you reckon? Barre? I don't know what are you going?
Four goals, five goals
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Stick a twelve, but well it's going to be good luck,
let's say, for a good game.
We's took four with the Madrian Barrage.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
