Speaker 1 (00:01):
Time for Barr's bits.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get work, You've got to get
into work Clobber. Their eight tray stores are everywhere, so
when you need it, you can get it or check
out work clobber dot com dot are you. There's always
a lot of changes going on in AFL trade time,
but especially this year, especially for.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
The Eagles, and I think this is the biggest trade
period of all time, particularly if Colono and Merit and
that go a bit later on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, there's a bit of ye with Geelong and can't.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But you know what's something that's overtaken all this probably
just occurred to me the search for John Cena.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
W did you?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's all anyone gives us you?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We're going to head down to that yesterday?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It was too busy and the heavyweight to there, Redisaffiotti
and Reesewiby and John Cena wasn't there. I can tell
you a lot of people buying a lot of memorability
and merchandise.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Spending so much money.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
How much of those belts.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, I saw on the TV last night one bloke
had brought a cup set him back something like seventeen
dollars obviously not married with kids.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But the replica.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
But just well, you weren't there, mate, You might have
been mistaken for one of thoseers. Look at you bell.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Slim down for a block of flats. He imagine bringing
one of those belts home and hiding it from the
wife somehow, and then she sees it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
What have you done? What's this?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You'd be so much trouble you would back to that's
so funny. Sorry, yeah, so sound the alarm fire up.
The trade tracker Oscar Allen is officially a Brisbane Lion
and technically still co captain of the West Coast Eagles
for another nineteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Give him the ass in nineteen minutes?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
What changes can he make? What decisions can he make?
In nineteen minutes?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
The man once built is the future of the club
in front of the media in March with a trembling
lip because he got caught in that infamous early season
coffee with Hawthorne coach Sam Mitchell. And now it turns
out he was leaving and he was packing his bag,
so he's now Brisbane Line bravely endured two wooden spoons
and one public apology is a bit of it.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
First and foremost, I just want to address my sincere
apology and serious embarrassment of what's happened over the last
few days and weeks. Clearly, the public nature and the
timing of what's come out isn't in the best interest
of myself in the football club. For me, I mostly
(02:27):
feel remorseful towards our fans, are playing, members, supporters, staff.
I can imagine how you guys are feeling, and for that,
I'm incredibly remorseful. I'm going to continue my role as
co cup and alongside Lamb dug in this season. In
conversation with people with the Foota club, everyone feels like
it's the right thing to do, and I still am
(02:47):
really confident I'm the right man alongside Dugo to take
this club forward and achieving some real progress and success
this year.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
For another eighteen minutes, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That's a full mea kuppa, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And the funny thing is he probably half wanted to stay,
but they couldn't sort of work out the money and
then then it turned out, well that coffee turned into
a five million dollar machiato, really didn't it, Because he's
got eight to fifty a year at Brisbane for six years.
So and once the Eagles worked out they could get
picked two, they went cold on the whole let's keep
(03:22):
Oscar thing. Once they worked out, Oh hang on, how
compensation is going to be picked too, because he's going
to get eight fifty for six years we finished last,
So the system says we get picked two, which is
way over the odds.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He probably should be in the teens.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Probably just as well. This all happened while they, you know,
are right at the bottom anchorage.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh yeah, so they basically bubble wrapped him up and
said mate, off you go. They probably paid for his
flight to Brisbane probably you know what I mean, in
front of the plane at all. So that's that's a
tough one. But anyway, so it's not all Oscar's fault.
You don't have to blame him. But it's weird, isn't it.
Stasovich has come to the Eagles, so he's gone from
the team that's first to the team that's last, and
Oscar Allen's gone the other way, last to first. Yeah,
(03:58):
so he's got the yeah, but who's hopefully who's writing
the ladder back up hopefully now one block he won't
be at West Coast is Liam Ryan, Flying Ryan.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Can you believe Flying Ryan's lefty?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
He's flying.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He's gone to Securita to play with Wang Wanganeene Millerer.
He probably only gets a year or two here, gets
three years there. And so the famous golden thread of
the West Coast Eagles has been fully fully picked. That
part McGovern's gone. So that mark, that famous bit of
play from twenty eighteen. McGovern takes the mark, kicks the
(04:32):
VARDI finds Ryan, Ryan hits up Dom sheed in the
pocket and then she loots, slots it through end of
an era.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That is it. He's got Eagles.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Fans will be watching that YouTube video for decades.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh mate, it's one of the great pieces of play.
So he sawed, he delivered, he came. Now he's off
to Sint Kilda, but he'll always be an Eagle.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Liam Right's part of the successful run. Now, this quiet
crisis brewing in the AFL, explained it to us.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, it's well, I reckon, it's one that the AFL
can no longer ignore. The number of indigenous players in
the game has plummeted, a drop that's been linked directly
to the cuts in the soft cap. So the pot
of money used to pay coaches and support staff. Because
indigenous players, you know, they have to move from remote
communities like the Kimberley to Perth or Melbourne. They need
(05:18):
more than just a locker and a GPS. So it's
a real cultural upheaval for Yeah, they need.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Support, mentorship, connection.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So that's really dropped off from about eighty odd players
to sixty odd players. So they're saying now the AFL
may give every club an extra rookie spot this year
and for a couple of years going forward to just
boost the numbers in the system. So an extra eighteen
next season, then another eighteen the year after, so thirty six,
(05:46):
maybe fifty four the year after. So that just because
they're made for the game and prep players like Polly
and Goodsy and Cyril and Bobby and Buddy, and you
need have changed one.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Let's get them back.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean it's that AFL, if you're listing, you need
to do something. Let's do something because it's ridiculous that
an indigenous, our indigenous people and our indigenous game can't
fit perfectly.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
As it always has done, exactly as it always has done.
We're talking sport with Barrow. This morning. I'm just looking
at your notes here, lay down your guns. Oscar Piastre
Australia is quite assassin behind the will you've got.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He is.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
He's clearly he's boiling accidents. He's boiling under the helmet though.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
As well, and so he should be.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, and Mike, how could you blame him? We can
smell the burnt rubber in the garage at McClaren. Actually
we're calling Lando, Micklando from now on, Orlando Norris because
he's the favorite. I don't know how it's happened, but
Piastre gets a late pit stop and team orders and
gets told to let him.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Go Team British driver.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, it's so weird. Lando gets upgrades, hugs, highlight reel.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
If they're not careful, they'll lose the coolest ossie in
Formula one since Daniel.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Ricardo's talk of this, talk of Ferrari in twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Mate, I'd love to see him win and then nikof,
he's so talented. Mclando, it's your move. Don't mess up
his championship, my friend. But let's let's get back home
now and go to racing Bath. This one thousand, or
as we call it, the old hardy ferd.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Remember it was five hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I believe it was five hundred miles and it was
a hardy ferrodo one thousand, and then it was a
hardy one thousand.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did you ever go No, yeah, no I never.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But it is a bit of a It is a
bit of a tradition in many households around Australia in October,
all of Sundays sit around, sit around six hours.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's like the cricket. You can come and go and
just see whether anything's changed.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I go back to Brocky Moffatt Colin, I was there.
I went there Colum bond one in a Taranta XU
one which I noticed and now worth two hundred grand
fully restored.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Man, I should have kept one.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So Servos just raced us on the news there on sunrise,
just raced the supercar at the track today. Serve in
his condition, he sprint, he beats, he's still training. He
beat the supercar over twenty meters.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Over twenty They were still trying to get it, so
look out for that.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
On seven the Australian Diamonds beat the South Africans.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
How's this forty eight times in a row.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
They've beat South Africa, right, so the prote Is, and
in fact the Proteus have never beaten the Diamonds in
international netball, yes never.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I find it was like that on the rugby field exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But how good are they in the rugby?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's not even a rivalry though, is it? The Springbok
forty eight wedding Street that's not even a rivalry.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't even know what they're doing here.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And of course this weekend it's afl W Pride Round
and the Dockers have got a special jumper.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's got one hundred and twenty hearts on it each.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Hand drawn by Fremantle players and staff to create rainbow chevrons.
So on Sunday they're looking at playing second place Melbourne
at Freemantle Oval. So the Jumpers, it's fantastic what's being done.
But it's a must win game. If they don't win,
it's season over for free. There's only four games to Gay,
so if they don't win, they basically can't make the eight.
(09:09):
So the Monster Game Frio fans, you can get down
there on Sunday the Pride Round ash Brazil. One of
their players said the Prime Round means everything to her.
She's an openly gay cross code athlete who began her
elite journey as a netballer and now she's at Freemantle.
The Eagles play Adelaide at Norwid Oval, another tough Nord
(09:29):
Oval is like a cigar shape like the old Subi
and so it's very hard to play at that ground
if you if you haven't been there before. So Eagle's
doing well under Daisy Piers. They're in their top eight.
Just if they could knock over Adelaide, I reckon they
play finals.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So there's still a chance. Yeah, there's still a chance.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So hang in there, have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So you're not hanging around this morning because you've got
some footy business.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, of this morning President's meet. Oh that's right. And
they're dropping the pitch in at Optics today, so we're going.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
There at nine o'clock. Nine o'clock, you're going to be there.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, putting the Will it be a very quick pitch
or will it be one that goes four or five days?
Let's the game go four or five days. That's the
big decision, I think. So it's incredible. They depend on
the weather too, obviously. If you've seen how they bring
the trays in and they just slotted in. It's actually incredible.
So it on the news tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
You'll be there dropping it in, all right.
