Hello everybody. It
is loud in here tonight. Great to have
you with us and thanks to how good to be
here with these two and again you come
on a very very good night. A little bit
later on, Lawrence Mooney, one of
Lawrence Mooney's good friends, is going
to be joining us on the program from the
SCG. But Keith Greg, one of the greatest
wingmen of all time to join us on the
show as
well. What is going on over there?
Having electric shock over there. Just
loosening my belt. Right. There you go.
There's a lot there's a lot to work our
way through. Obviously, another huge
weekend of footy. There's some stories
that have lingered longer and one out of
the Collingwood game that people can't
stop talking. This is my favorite story
of the year so far. It involves Ollie
Marov and his unusual preparation for
the big This resonates for me for the
big game on the weekend. It was great. I
got the call at about 3:30 today. I was
walking out of Bunnings. I was meant to
do some flooring. I'm doing a Renault.
So, I guess playing at Marble is
definitely better than doing flooring.
So, hey, did you get a sausage? I was I
was thinking about it, but after I saw
Craig pop up, I thought he saw me. So, I
decided to walk straight to the car.
He's he's down at Bunnings going about
his business about to do some flooring
at home. Gets the call, says he didn't
even have time to go and get a sausage.
Well, it's been the big it's been the
big question all week. I mean, did he or
did he? If you go to Bunnies, you got to
get a sausage. You can't leave Bunnies
without the sausage. But everyone's been
asking the question all week. Well, they
have. And I think I can answer it. I'm
going to show you some footage and you
tell me. Did he pick up a sausage? Now,
look closely. All right. If you can pick
it.
[Applause]
Wow.
It's like he's he's double fisting. How
did the How did the agenda How did He's
double parked in the sausage.
How did the agenda setters miss that?
That's obvious, right? Good point,
Andrew.
Great. I don't know. Just kidding. Just
also let's point out the fact that man
that man is a current day a footballer
and he at home he doesn't have a floor.
Can someone That's pretty sad. It's a
very good Well, he's working on a new
one but no well known. He's a great man
and we had him on the show not long ago
and he was great company. It's a good
way to get out of doing some housework.
Yes, it is. Yes, it is. What happened?
He went to Bunnings had to go play foot.
Uh there was massive milestones across
the weekend. Three duties in their
clubs. Mitch Duncan, what a magnificent
player he's been for the Cats. They get
the result to his 300.
Toby Green in game 250
champ. He was magnificent. And Christian
is 200. But
Toby just well Toby Grim that was
actually at Halime. That was
interesting. But but but a good a
big congratulations to Christian Petra
200. It's just a pity his spleen wasn't
there to see it. It's a shame. But um
Trish know he's a he's a great player.
200 games well and well done to
Christian but also well done to the a
Melbourne cheer squad on producing a
banner that I think spoke to the heart
of the man and his contribution to the
game. That is a beautiful banner. That's
what Christian. It's one of his favorite
recipes. 200 games, 450 recipes. What a
this Who knows where it will stop. M
you're not a big rap for that recipe
though. You're reckoning it's pretty
poor bologn. Well, no. If you are
watching at home and you That's how you
get your recipes. Yep.
Firstly, be better. But secondly, that's
a bad that's a bad bolognese recipe.
Just I don't want that message getting
out. No. No. That's poor. Well, this
there's no red wine. There's no there's
no Look at that. Oh, look at that.
Where's the basil? There's no basil.
There's no patada. If you look closely,
he's carrying some baby carrots through
the through the
no. It wasn't They weren't the only
three, of course. Chris Fagan who's
becoming one of the modern day masters
of course up at Brisbane coaches his
200th game. Much loved and Darcy Gardner
and Harrison tried to cheer him off.
Well well you know why he looked at that
and went that's got a double hip
replacement all over it. If you're going
to chair this Fagan off you got to do
him sideways like one of those chairs
that go up the
up the wall. Elderly people. What a
wonderful man he is and a great coaching
career he's putting together. It is good
though that you know they don't he
doesn't like night games. You know that
don't you? Because when he sees the
light he starts going towards
um we don't have to say that. No he's a
great man. He's a premiership coach. One
of our favorites. And it's easy to it's
easy to easy to see by the way why he uh
he brushed the the chair off because um
if you look at Ron Barassi after the 75
grand final chair off sometimes they're
not as fun as they look. Do you know
what I mean? Like this one is just
Is that Is that a chair or is that a
kidnapping? What What are they doing
there? This looks like the half the
halftime sprint. They're going to try to
win a time. That is That is how Mick
gets shared into TripleM every morning.
Pete Craig was part of that team. He's
going to be joining us on the on the
show tonight, which is going to be a lot
of fun. Uh Luke Beverage of course in
the news out of that game down at
fantastic game down at Kinia Park.
Everyone's talking about the Bevo Kane
cords brewhaha before the game. Yeah,
they are some people. I'm I'm more
interested in what transpired at the 3/4
time break between Bevo and his personal
security. They start having a jog and it
gets big on this guy pretty quickly. And
watch out. I know. Now he's struggling.
He's he's
he's never he's he's gone to sleep on
the back on the back straight. That
close for the bell laping.
He looks like a newborn fo taking his
first steps that thing. Jeez. You could
smell the You could smell the lactic,
couldn't you? Like it was uh it really
could. Jeez, I thought they going to get
the screen at you. That was
unbelievable. All right. Um Hey, you
you'll be proud of me. I actually
watched the game. Murray, what? Yep. And
there was this moment late in the game
that took my eye. I'd like to have a
look at it, too. Mark P to Jalong's
Ollie Dempsey. Andy, does this look out
of bounds to you? It was a pretty
critical moment. You need to watch where
his left foot is. So, he's got his left
foot here outside and he marks. Well,
look at the umpire. Now, the umpire's
there and he's got a big decision to
make. Do I award the mark or do I want
to be beaten up in the car park?
Jong and he's made the right call. Look
where his left footing. His left foot's
out of the field of play and he's marked
the football outside of where his left
foot is. So, and he's in the queue for a
hot dog.
He is just says that was out of the
foot. Like I said, it was a big moment
and you know, Bevo was asked about it
after the game. Now, you know, in the
modern day coaches are a little bit
handcuffed about what they can say. They
can't say anything. So, um especially
about the umpiring decision. So, listen.
Um Bevo is a master of walking that
line. You know what I mean? like you
know how he feels. But have a look at
the master diplomat in action.
Beautiful.
Difficult, but they did change kicks
ago. The out of bounds on the full one.
[Applause]
That's not me. Out of bounce on the
full. Um, my hands are tied. I can't
comment on it. How do you think Andy's
going tonight?
[Applause]
Three time at the G on Friday. Brings in
his mob did a fantastic job pregame. The
bombers out. Young Angus Clark. What a
story. He turned out to be ticking free
on debut. But this but Nikki. Yeah, this
is everybody in the football industry.
This is the takeaway from the game.
They're all asking the question. Well,
who is it? Pretty sure it's hurty.
Is it? Everybody's been trying to work
out who it was under the brown. I reckon
it's Sheets.
I It could be Steven Dank.
It's definitely not Caroline Wilson.
We've all It's not You got one more. The
weapon.
All right. If anyone knows
Tucker Bag,
I think it's Tucker. It's Tucker Bag.
Who's Tucker Bag? It was the symbol from
the Well, he's called Tucker Bag. H
Google it. Whatever.
Hey, dctor.
Hey. Um, so the bombers get the Bombers
get the win. Big stage for the Tigers.
Yeah, they've had some reasonable
moments, but there is some speculation
that ah well it was a good dream time
game. We didn't get the Chalkies. We
three quarter tie, but there's no reason
to get off the bandwagon. A terrible
game. It was a terrible game, by the
way. But um I don't know about you
Mario, I get the fear, you know, I've
got my finger on the pulse of the
football community and um feels like the
Tigers, they're starting to jump off the
bandwagon. This whole rebuild thing,
it's getting a bit stale and people
they're starting to lose a bit of Who?
Give me an example. I'll give you an
example. Remember uh uh Little Mickey?
You remember Little Mickey? Little
Mickey. No one enjoyed the premise of
his more than Little Mickey.
You know what I mean? He is staunch.
He's st he's absolutely rusted off. And
all of in terms of Tiger fans, there
were you and and little Mickey. No one
enjoy enjoyed those the more he is. What
do you say? He is the symbol of modern
rich. He's about the modern day Jack
Dyier. Little
Mickey. That's what he's come to mean to
the football. He's a young He's like KB.
Correct. That's what he means to that
class. He's like, he's like the tiger
thing on the board. Yes, he is. After
Essn won last week, I'm sad to say,
little Mickey has jumped ship. He is a
bomber now. Have a look at him. Have a
look at him.
[Applause]
[Music]
Maybe he's just You're dead to me,
little Mickey.
You have made a very powerful enemy. By
the way, can I just point can I just
point out some of those dance moves
there from Little Mickey need a bit of
work. Maybe he should take a look at
little Pangy and see
how
[Applause]
that little he's
got a couple of your moves. He has got a
couple. Well done. You've had a very big
week this week. You got You got someone
in the office to Google a fat Asian
dancing kid. Well done, mate. Good
stuff. Well done. Well done. Okay, fat
kids are funny. Fat kids are funny,
right?
But I tell you I'll tell you what's not
funny. Type 2 diabetes is not funny.
Just I'm warning you
now. No, we got to get to the break. I'm
a little like type three.
Sydney Sydney says that he's hanging by
a thread cross to the SCG on the other
side of
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this. No, no tell how good. Fantastic.
It's a It's a beauty. How good Melbourne
Institution, the Prince of Wales. Don't
worry about that. Thanks to where is it?
It's a Gilda. As if you don't know where
you don't much. Not down there. Get
involved with the program via our social
media platforms. They're all over the
place. Whichever is your preferred one
you can use. And we do love the
feedback. We get a lot of feedback after
every show. And uh it's always it's
called hate mail, Andy.
Occasionally one slip through the
cracks, Mickey, but uh most of it's
pretty positive. Most of it is a lot of
curious viewers out there wanting to
know how Darab and the Falcons went on
to the Falcons.
How'd you go? The under 16 under 16
girls South Top of the Table South got
hold of us a bit on the They got you
your traditional rivals. Well, yeah,
they've uh we've had we've had spirited
competition with them over the years,
but they're a bit too good for us. These
are just grading games. No, they're not.
No, no.
Is that back to back losses? Well, yes,
but that's okay. No, the team that beat
us in the previous game, they've gone up
to div one. So, no, no, we're going all
right. We're two and three. We're going
well. Got first coach sack of the season
written all over. Grand final replay.
What's going on here? Yeah. What's going
on here? This was sent to us by some of
your coaching stance here on the
sidelines.
I'll tell you what's happening. Hold on,
Nick. What's going on? He's punching out
another game
plan. Punching out.
You know what I'm saying? You want some
reading material? I don't know what's
going It's a It's a It's a tight pant
you're wearing there, isn't it? What are
you doing? I don't know what's going on
there. It's very strange. It's an
unusual and uncomfortable position to
see yourself in to be honest. But
anyway, let's get back to the footy,
shall we? Uh Sydney season right on the
brink, isn't it? Now four and seven.
Sydney, it's a worry finalist. They just
uh it's not good. It's been tough. Dean
Cox's first year. Obviously, they've
been racked by injuries. It's tough on
the supporters. It's been a tough well
well, it has been tough on the
supporters cuz they expect uh great
results up in Sydney. And you mentioned
the supporters and we uh we're very
lucky to be joined tonight by one of
Sydney's most prominent uh supporters, a
very well-known Swany around Australia.
Please welcome him. He's in the Bradman
Bar right now joining us live from the
SCG, the 29th Prime Minister of
Australia. Please make him welcome, Mr.
to Malcolm Turn everybody.
So so nice to be here.
Very nice to have you with us, Mr.
Turnbull and uh and well and welcome
cordially and formally welcome to the
front bar. Cordially wonderful. So nice
to be here on the front bar. Now, I've
done my research and I I know the front
bar is part of a public house where
people sit around and drink your yeast
based beverages and exchange yarns and
slap the electronic poke machine. Sounds
like fabulous fun. Now, I'd like to
declare my bonafideies. I have tried
beer
once. I was I was at the footy in my box
and my chief of staff thought it would
be appealing to the sniveling masses if
I held a beer. I'd never tried it
before. I only ever drink Sanjvesi or
Petite
Sha. So I had a sip and it was very
refreshing. And I said, "What's this
called?" And he said, "It's called
beer." And he told me it was widely
available. Amazing. But I I don't think
it's the drink for me, Andrew. Because
after just one, I wanted to pull down my
pants and flash what the average Joe, I
believe, called a brown eye.
Is that correct? A brown eye. Yes, brown
eye. That's right. So, Mr. Turble,
you're obviously a um you're obviously a
pretty staunch Sydney Swan supporter.
Well, Andrew, and please call me
Malcolm. Okay. Thank you.
People think as prime minister you're
forced into looking like you love the
footy. So you appear to have the common
touch with the hoy paloy and then the
riff raff will vote for you. But I
genuinely love it. Footy is terrific. I
love the running and the kicking and the
high
catching. The catching is spectacular.
Now I know I know you commoners call it
a specky but I don't like abbreviating.
I call it a
spectacular when I'm at the footy. I
say, "Look at that chap in the jersey.
He's just taken a spectacular over the
other fellow. I think he might be in for
catch of the
year." Honestly, I think due to footy's
popularity up here, Sydney could sustain
a second side.
[Applause]
[Music]
Finger on the They've already got a
second side. It's out in Western Sydney.
It's called GWS and they're at Home
Bush. Home Bush. Good
lord. I I've heard of it, but I've never
been there and I never will.
Now, Malcolm, what does the date of the
footing like? Look for a former PM. On
match day, I wake early, check my $256
million personal
fortune, and because you can't be too
careful with online scammers, I move
some money offshore to the Cayman
Islands. Then to put me in a good mood,
I I either watch the Swanies 2005 grand
final victory over the Western Coastal
Eagles or I go back to election night on
I view and watch Peter Dutton's
incredible loss. What a night. What a
night. And then the Greens leader had
him bad copter too. Now I've got some
advice for Greens voters like you,
Andrew Mah.
Wash your Subaru
Forester. We can tell by the no nuke
sticker. You're a Greens voter. Wash
your car and wash
yourself. Rubbing your genitals with a
crystal isn't
personal. Take me seriously on that one.
I can smell a little puli coming across
from over here.
Anyway, back to my day at the footy. I
have a pie in the back of my Bentley.
Not a mass-produced one, but a bespoke
one crafted from imported smoked halibet
and caviar jelly.
Delicious. Washed down with some Don
Perinon. And for fun, I get my chauffeur
to hang the Balenciaga scarf out of the
ben. And people think it's to show my
support, but it's actually to block my
view of the faces of the average
supporter.
[Applause]
Oh, good lord. The plebs are ugly,
aren't they? Horrible.
Malcolm, let's talk uh footy. Who's your
favorite swan of all time? Well, I'll
answer this question earnestly by waving
my glasses as if to say I read, but my
eyesight is poor. My favorite players
were of course Lance Buddy Franklin,
Tony Lockett, the man they called the
plugger and Warrick the Whiz Kappa
electric. But if I was honest with you
Sam, I'd say my favorite swan is Swan
Lake, which is a very moving and
beautiful
ballet. Tchaikovski, he could have
snapped one around the corner or been
able to take a spectacular. He was a
giant of a man, but not a greater
Western Sydney giant. Michael Christ.
The western suburbs driving home
squinting into the sun. How do people do
it?
Now the sort of hiding on the weekend is
this season over for the I hope so. You
know,
then then I can focus on real sports
like polo and
king. I love going out onto the harbor
in my car. It's one of the few words you
can say with your mouth open for the
whole word, but you must click the
second K off your soft pallet.
[Applause]
[Music]
C. Well, really like all Australians, I
can't wait for our national summer
sport,
yaching. Sydney to Hobart. It gives you
something to do on Boxing Day
considering there's no other sport
on. Look guys, I need to go. I think my
duck liver patter is reaching room
temperature. Well done, Malcolm.
Wonderful to catch up. want to cross
paths one day, wouldn't it? Would it?
Well, yeah. It' be great for you to pop
down uh and join us here at the front
bar at some stage if you're ever here.
Swinging around down the top end of
town. Mari uh and Mick, I'm getting
familiar now. I've never actually been
into a bar, so why don't I step into one
now?
[Music]
[Applause]
Welcome.
Mr. Prime Minister, welcome aboard.
Don't look that comfortable, mate. It's
sticky.
It's sticky and it smells like man.
Smells like a hot man in here. All
right, Malcolm. Now, I just have to ask,
have you ever come across Lawrence
Mooney in your travels? Do you Lawrence
Mooney the impersonator? Yes, Lawrence.
I mean, it's got to be the comedy
version of scraping the bottom of the
barrel, doesn't it? Impersonations. So
tragic. Once you've got your mannerisms
and the, you know, accent all nailed,
what if the person you're impersonating
is no longer relevant? I want you to
keep plotting it out, do you? It's
somebody else's
behest. It's almost as tragic as getting
a little version of yourself to dance
around people. What is this, a freak
show? Yes, it is. Lady coming on next.
Is there Malcolm? It's been a joy to
have you on the show. Thanks for being
part of it tonight.
Don't go anywhere behind the other side
of the
break going to join us on the show.
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
Cameron unfiltered. So many special
moments that will hold and stick with me
forever. Unfiltered tonight on 7 and
string free on 7 plus.
[Applause]
Welcome back to the show. Front bar.
Thanks to Han. How good. Uh this is a
real treat for we children of the 70s.
I'll speak for myself in that regard. We
grew up watching footy when when wingmen
were kings. They were great players.
They were man-on-man jewels on on
grounds like the MCG where they just go
to war with one another all day long.
They were superstars. Every team had at
least one great one. Well, tonight from
that era, we are joined by arguably the
best of them all. Please make him
welcome the great Keith Greg. Join
[Applause]
I think the last player ever to be named
Keith.
I'm not sure there's been that many
after you. A bit like
Kevin. Kevin Bartlett. Keith Keith Greg.
Yeah. Not many. Not many. So many great
man-on-man jewels and we we'll roll some
highlights of your playing days and the
players that you play on speak for
themselves. I mean this was a remarkable
career that you had and so many signpost
moments along the way which we'll get
to. Had you played all your junior footy
as a wingman? Uh all all my junior footy
was either wing center and a little bit
of half forward. So was it an easy
adjustment for you to make once you got
to this level and you're playing against
some of the greats? I mean, you're in
the AFL team of the century. You're on
one wing. Francis Burks on the other.
And I imagine you two played against one
another on occasion. Dick Clay as well.
A lot of great players I played against
uh in that era. Did you come from the
VFA? VFA Brunswick. Keith, they didn't
have wings. No.
That's why that's why I came to the VFL.
They didn't. I played half for 10 for I
played at Brunswick. Oh, really? So, who
what was the biggest bag you kicked in
half forward? Nine.
Whoa. That's been a great downfall. I
mean, all all the skills are on display
here. You're quick. Both sides of the
body. How do you would have gone to run
the Do you reckon you would have gone on
to run the modern day K? Um, probably
with the running side. I would have I
think uh just cuz the way they're
athletes now, the guys, you never hit
the deck unless Matthews is knocking you
over and we'll get to that a bit later
on. You hardly ever hit the deck. I
mean, your balance was unbelievable.
Keep your feet all the time. Yeah, that
was just the mantra, right? And what we
we always had uh different types of
boots, studs and mers. So we always we
whenever we play Brassi always wanted to
use stud boots. We weren't allowed to
use M. If we fell over, you'd have do 20
or 30 push-ups on Tuesday night. I got
to I got to ask but anyone who saw you
play need would they just need me to ask
this. What were those those white things
on your on your ankles? What were they?
Because as a kid you wanted them and you
go I don't know what they are. That was
from my father. He used to wear them
when he was playing for Brunswick City
in the Senistic League and I just
followed on from what he was doing. So
So support for the they were a really
tight elastic bandage. Rather than
having the bandage inside the sock, it
was outside the sock. So you had bad
ankles, did you? You needed those for
support. No, just show.
Went in to attack his ankles cuz they
look they did look like every kid,
didn't they? Every kid growing up,
Mickey wanted to have Keith Griggs.
You're wearing them now, right?
Hey, uh I want to we we're going to like
we've got a it's a wonderful career and
we're going to quick we're actually
going to fast forward to your 300th
game. It's it's a it's no it's an
amazing career and your 300th game
though Keith was recognized um with a
huge banner and uh the cheer squad went
with a caricature and I'm not sure they
nailed it by the way. I'm not going to
look I It's not a great likeness. Keith,
are you saying that's like me or I'm
like you? Is that you or one of the
golden
girls? Put it Put it up
again. It could be David Letterman. It's
either Letterman or it's either It's
either Rose from the Golden Girls. I'm
not really sure. But well, you had to
run through that when you when you were
going through Look at that. What's the
MBE for services to to shiping?
What was a member of the British Empire?
And what what did you get that for? uh
service to football. Well,
congratulations.
When did they when did they give you
that? Was there an incident or was it
was it just for your a wonderful career,
but when I don't know of any other
footballer who's got that? The
government got in touch with North to
see if I would accept the award and of
course um they then forwarded on to me.
Would you take it? And I said yes, I
would.
The interesting part about that is
Princess Anne came out about three or
four years later and she was having a a
turn at the um government house and they
said, "Would you like to come and be as
part of the crew?" And I said, "No, I've
got a North Melbourne function.
Tell her to get down there and tell her
old member of the British Empire." So,
one of the remarkable things, you're
nine games into your career. 1971's your
first year. You're nine games in and
then you get picked to play for Victoria
in now. I say that again. Nine games
nine games into your career. There you
are there wearing the Now I tried to
find crowd figures today. A lot of the
reports you said it was a sellout. Do
you remember how many people It looked
absolutely heaving the MCG. It was
massive. A lot of people there and as
you said first game for myself and also
Jeff Southby who I think played nine
games had played as well. And the first
game you'd ever played at the MCG. First
game at the MCG. So how did you get told
that you've been picked in the Victorian
team? Uh, I got a phone call from the
club saying, "You're playing for
Victoria on the surf." That was it. And
that was it. That was it. And was it
overwhelming when you got out there? And
not really. Yeah. Um, and not that I
took it in my stride, but it was
something that I wasn't expecting. Um,
and then it just all happened. So, it
happened. And then a couple of years
later, you win the first of your two
backto-back brown lows in 73 and 74. I
mean, these were the golden years of the
Brown Lo, the Southern Cross. chaos and
pe movement all over the place and the
captain's up the top. Yeah. Did you Did
you go into 73 thinking you were a
chance of winning? Not really. Um the
thing about the Brown Lo back in those
years was they kept all the votes to the
very end. So they shuffling the votes so
that at the end it wasn't round by
round. So it came that the guys who were
most likely to win it win the last five
or six votes. Y and that's how they did
it. It looks like it looks like a fun
night. Jimmy, look. It looks Oh, no.
Winter one. It was nerve-wracking if
you're there and you you're part of the
top, you know, guys that have got a
chance of winning. Well, 74 you were um
you won that was your second, but you
were Kevin Bartlett was the favorite one
and and you defeated him. How was that
received in the room by the Richmond
faithful? Not well. Not well. He was he
was a white hot favorite, wasn't he? He
was. He won every award. I bobbed up. I
didn't know until about two or three
days later. There's actually a bit of a
scuffle in the the ballroom of the
southern. That doesn't sound like the
Richmond officials. I know. Who was the
Who was the scuffle between? I think the
chap at Richmond was Max Presley,
Postley, Alan Johnson, and Max Richie.
All right. They just weren't happy. They
just punched on and they just punched
on. Tell you what, it was a different
time, sir. A better time. By the way, no
spirited. No, they're absolutely
spirited. The brown coverage at the
moment could do with the disagree with
that. So 71's your first year of what
became a glorious career as a North
Melbourne player and Barass Ron Barassi
joined a couple of years later in 73. I
mean one of the giants of the game
alongside yourself. Could tell us about
the influence that Barass had on on your
footy club. Well, we were all very young
when he first came to the club and of
course he had that all that success. So
um bit aruck really of what was what was
happening. and got Barassi as the coach
and we're trying to fulfill and live to
what he's preaching and telling us how
to play footing. Well, he did the 1
percenters and all that thing before the
season started and how you don't do this
and don't do that. Always had to carry a
football with us in the car so you
touching it all the time. So all those
sort of things led into the season we
had. He was notoriously a hard task
master and he could deliver a vicious
spray and and he particularly used to
take to you. You were on the receiving
end of a couple of beauties. Yes,
Keith. You've done the typical bloody
thing. The ball's gone over. You could
have run and intercepted that first goal
or second goal, what it was. And you
probably don't even know what I'm
talking about, do you? Bloody right.
Talk us through it. He was right. I
didn't know what he's talking about.
Can you just for those of us who never
cpped a spray from the great man, what's
it like to be in the headlights? Um,
look, I didn't mind the sprays about
footy, but it's all the personal stuff
that sort of got to me towards the end.
Yeah. Um, and I had a meeting with him
after 79 season and said, "If this keeps
up, I'm out." What? Yeah. You said to
Brass, "If you keep lining me up, had a
meeting in Ron Joseph's office after the
79 uh last game. said he and we called
him in and I c I was in there with him.
I said, "If you're going to keep on
doing what you're doing, I'm out." He
said, "What do you mean you're out?" I
said, "Well, I'm not going to play here
anymore. I'm going to try and go to cart
and
Oh, Keith. Oh, you know how to hurt. You
can play."
So, what happened then? He said, "What
do you want me to do?" He I said, "Just
leave me alone and you know, leave me to
my works and what I do in footy 1980."
Um, never spoke to him for the whole
year. For the whole year. We acknowledge
each other as we passed. Nod and that
was it. How'd you go that year? Pretty
good. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah. You won
the You won the Sid Bark. You won the
best in. Yeah. So, you went okay. You
know what? After this show, we might
have Well, we should try that. I didn't
try that. Yeah, I wouldn't mind that at
all. Can you tell Sam?
I'm happy to give that a go. So C, can I
just be C won 79. They would have won 80
and 81 and 82. You would have
been that's that's to be fair. Can I
just defend uh your old coach by the way
and know that was a great spray that he
gave you. But um this one here that he
gave Daryl Sutton now listen the great
thing about Ron Barassi, he could
absolutely he was brutally berating you
but he'd also clarify and give a reason.
you are a I'll tell you why.
Hey, I don't mind being personal attacks
as long as you tell me why.
That's the key. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The
good thing about him though was if he
gave you a serve um you could walk into
the club rooms an hour later and he
wouldn't think anything more of it. It's
all passed gone under the bridge. Can we
just point out by that's that's morass
miked up.
Can you imagine if he wasn't miked up?
Exactly. When he was giving you a serve,
did you ever remind him you had an MBE?
Yeah.
No, I didn't. Let's get on to the good
stuff. 75. It all comes together in 75.
But this is a magnificent team.
Wow. Characters in this team that you're
part of and the great players. The 5year
rules, but the 10 year rules been
invoked. You were at the peak of your
powers. You'd lost 74. Can you remember
much about the buildup to the 75 grand
final? Honestly, I can't. Um, the only
thing I can remember is there when Barry
Davis got the cup and we started to do a
lap at the end of the game and then
going back to the Southern Cross. Look
at these scenes back at Arden Street on
the back of a semi-trail. Fantastic
scenes. Back of a semi-trail.
Unbelievable. Of celebration. Here's the
players pulling their hair down. There's
Maggie
Thatcher is is there Baress gave him or
her a big
serve up on your MBE. Princess Anne I
think was there you play you played in
that was that was 75 you won but you
played in five grand finals the club in
in a row successive years did you should
you have won more yeah the talent we had
coming through the doors was
unbelievable but then again if you speak
to the Hawthorne guys they they should
have won more in that time well let's
talk about 76 um where
you were the subject of a couple of
murderous incidents from the great Lee
Matthews here's the first and this bang
That hurts. Um, that's the first of two.
Wow. I don't know how you got up from.
And here's a second one. Now
you tell me, Keith, do you do you think
Lee was targeting him?
Do you think Hawthorne may have had a
chat and said, "This is their best
player. We need to make sure he doesn't
walk off this field." We knew he was
going to not be like that, but I was
given the task of playing on him in that
game in the back pocket in the forward
pocket. Um, I knew when the handle would
come from Paul Falton, I knew people
were coming. You just have to keep on
going and knowing it was Lee. Well, good
luck. Can I just suggest that is no way
to treat a member of the British Empire.
No, that is a very good point. That is
an excellent Lee should be better than
that.
I would have thought at the tribunal
that was an open and shut case, but
remember it's just as simple a time and
the verdict may not have gone your way.
Matthews appeared before the league
tribunal on a striking charge, but was
cleared on a technicality. Umpire Della
reported him for using his left hand
instead of his right against
Greg. Well,
nothing to see here. Uh, Coach Clear. If
only there was video footage. Exactly.
Exactly. Hey, Keith, don't go any.
There's plenty more we want to talk to
you about. It's a spectacular career and
we're loving you being part of the show.
Keith Green is going to stick with
Thanks for having this.
[Music]
[Applause]
Welcome back to the show. I think the
three of us up here agree the greatest
kick greatest kick in the history of
footy. Malcolm Blight, Princess Park,
1976 against Carlton. Mickey, it may
never have happened without you. You
have front row seats to this and you
come up at this point. Malcolm seems
confused. Siren's gone. Siren has gone.
Here you come and you give him
advice. What did you say to Malcolm
before the greatest kick in AFL history?
I said to him, for God's sake, kick a
point. Were you? Yeah. He ended up
kicking a goal. But interestingly,
before this guy, look at this. He kicked
some of boom shaka laka. Two amazing
goals before that, too. He did. He did.
Yeah. To get us back into that position
where he kicked that winning goal. Well,
you you had you were standing right next
to him. Could you could you see straight
away? Could you tell like the sound of
it off his boot? Did you know that he
hit I've actually tried to measure it.
I've actually been to Princess Park and
walked it. And what what have you?
Probably 80. Yeah. And it went through
post. According to Malcolm, it's
120. Um, but as you say, 80, I reckon
80. It was It was the most I look at I
look at that footage and I just feel
like a craven cigarette.
No, you don't. No, you're not anymore.
Okay. Know yours. The best kick you've
ever seen. Yep. Yep. Um, North Melbourne
had its 150th uh anniversary celebration
in 2019 and a great honor was bestowed
upon you, rightfully so. the top 10
players in the history of the footy club
and you came in at number two behind the
great one here of
course there there's hardly an honor
that can be bestowed upon a footballer
that hasn't been bestowed upon you but
how does that sit with you second
terrifically um Kerry is by far I think
if you spoke to any other player any
other supporter of any other club they
would also say that Kerry is number one
at North and
goes without saying. The next two to 20
you could throw in the air and wherever
they landed, you'd be happy with that
position. I think you Well, that's very
humble. That's very humble. And that's
probably something Malcolm Blight could
learn because cuz we had Malcolm on this
program and I asked him about his
position as six and he wasn't quite so
generous.
I'm going to say it. I don't think
that's high enough. I had over at least
top four at North. You would have
yourself higher than that. No doubt.
Probably humility would have one time
stopped me from saying that, but yes,
you're right.
I'll put him on the podium. He's there.
He's in the He's in the top three, I
reckon. Just pure talent. Was he as good
a player as he ever played? Like just
football talent. Just do all the things
that a lot of people would like to do
and can't. But he had it on string most
of the time. Yeah. Keith, you played in
a wonderful era of footy in a era where
I would think that footy cards may have
um may have It may have been that there
and cuz this one here of you. Um, look,
you just look shocked, mate. I don't
know what
uh it's like it's like the photographer
took you by surprise.
Or um or are you a vampire?
That's That's worth $3 that card. Now,
what's that? That's worth $3 that card.
Now, that's a that's the Scandins was a
one. That was a good era. This scan that
was that was a top era. He does look
shocked. Vampiry in that one. What are
you? 612.
You know what? He he does look shocked.
You got all your footy cards? Yes. Yes.
I respect that, Keith. Got a G got a
theory though as to why you may have
looked may have looked a little bit
shocked at at being taken because I
reckon you may have seen your teammate
Wayne Shimlush have his photo card
tak
what's going on Mickey I look at that I
know this that's a great Wayne Shimbush
and I I feel like slipping $20 into his
shorts
I don't know what he's what's he doing
what he's doing the closes you have to
do diapers Hold on. I would just say I'm
Wayne Shimbush. I'm not doing that. We
didn't have to do that that pose. What's
the socks he's wearing? They're not even
North Melbourne socks.
There's a guy running laps in the
background. I don't think you Now that
you've thought these through. Well,
you're getting $20 a card. You do
anything, would you?
That's extraordinary. Ah, Keith, we
haven't had this for a couple of weeks.
So, it's a joy. It's back to have it

I'll ask some questions. Short punchy
answers. You can pass if you want. Yep.
Okay. Toughest opponent. They're all
tough. That's That's not what mate.
No. Can I ask Can I Robert Flower? Did
you ever play a great player? Always
always had to be. Well, w just some of
the great wingmen that you played
against instead of You don't have to
name your toughest, but it was a it was
a gold. Yeah, it was Nikki Turner, Kenny
Fletcher, Val Pervic, Brian Wood.
Yeah. Bel Perovvic went to went on to be
a center half back in a Premiership.
Played in the wing at Silda. Yep.
Jeff Tunning was a good player. Yeah, a
good player. And then we had all the BS

where they were getting in the zone.

absolute joy to meet you for the first
time, and thanks for letting us share
some with you
tonight. Bring our special guest, the
multi up next. Don't go anywhere. We're
here.
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
Welcome back to the show. It's your
thumb. We're here for how good. It's a
joy to have you with us. What a great
time it was had by all with Keith.
Unbelievable. Oh, hello. The contract's
out. I'm just uh having a look at your
contract, Samuel, and uh I think you're
contractually obliged uh according to
subsection
3 to do something in SEG 5 tonight. You
never do anything. You don't do anything
in the multi and you're obliged. Well,
no one can say
[Laughter]
if Could you just initial
this while we That's my contract, by the
way. There's a comma missing. Anyway, um
if I you are contractually obliged
according to this document document.
Happy to happy to I know sometimes I'm a
bit quiet in SEG five, but I something
caught my eye. Mari, hats off to the
Western Bulldogs marketing and sales
department, but you can have your Lexus,
you can have your Emirates, you can have
your Hungry Jacks, you can have your um
Macka's KFC. I can't can't think of a
beer right now. Um the uh but this hats
off to the Western Bulldogs because on
the weekend if you look at the banner
they landed the big fish. They landed
the white whale. The white whale. That's
right. The Altona
stationers. They have landed the big one
down there. That's amazing. If you're
ever in
Altona and you ever need
stationers or stationery, that's where
you go. That's the place you go. That
sounds like a third party agreement. All
I'll say is this fountain pen needs a
new nib. Yeah, that's all I'll say. And
all I'm saying is our we could use a new
printer cuz there's a lot of blank
pages.
That's very true. Well, there's a
printer run out of ink. Well done to me.
Punch anyone.
Well done, Toner. You know what we're
saying. What do you want? A protractor
or something? I wouldn't mind a
protractor. I'm doing your compass.
What's the one that goes like this? It's
the compass. Okay,
I'll have one of those too, please. Hey,
round 12. The first manil folder. Do
they have Manila folders? Diamond
doesn't those things. Uh, round 12. Four
teams have got the buy this week. So,
there's seven games to play Friday
night. It's going to be a belter.
Absolute belter. Can Adelaide get over
the Sydney Swans? They should. They're
going well enough to do it. Can
Melbourne stay on a roll? There's some
good questions to be answered over a
good round of matches in round 12. So, a
bit to look forward to. That means it's
time for this. Mix multi.
[Music]
Yes.
Get on board. This is going to be a
great multi. Got a very good feeling
about this. Let's hop straight into it
tonight. It's piping hot. Uh first up
now during the Hessen and Richmond
clash. Eddie Betts gave this medically
in-depth insight into why Mason Redmond
had to leave the field. Should we head
to Eddie? Uh, Red Men just ran off
before the half started straight down to
the toilet. He just came back up just
then holding his tummy and just took a
couple of tablets and he's sitting on
the bed saying must got a sore
tummy tummy. He's got to sum tum. I'd
like to wager he also needed some talcum
powder on his botbot.
Can I Can I No, I've got the list of
injuries here. Yeah. What else you got?
Oh, well, Zach Merritt is undergoing a
test for an ouchie.
Nate Caddy came off at 3/4 time. He
needed to be burped.
Right now, he's under the burp
protocols.
Well, Andrew McGra, he's out for 3 weeks
with nappy rash. So, anyway, you get the
idea. It's trouble down there. Thanks.
You can't have it. You can't have it.
Why not? You can't have it. But, how
about you have Jesse Hogan to kick four
or more against the Tes $25? What do you
All right, second leg now. And great
scenes in the UK. I love the glossy
cheese rolling. It's an annual event.
And they're back, baby. And look at them
go. A 10 lb cheese goes down the hill.
And it's like here they come. It's like
a killing field.
All chasing a 10 lb cheese. Now, hey,
now listen.
Don't don't you've mentioned that cheese
is involved. Don't do it. Don't do if
what I think you're going to do and what
you always do when there's any food
related clips.
I'd like to wag you Matt Preston has won
that event for three
years in a row.
You can't have it. Give my best mate.
You can't have
it. Bailey Smith. Three years in a row.
He's one. you get 30 or more against
West Coast, they'll give you 190. All
right, great. Third leg. Now, this is a
tradition in America. I don't know if
you know much about it. When they
graduate, they have a commencement
ceremony and there's usually a keynote
speaker and it's a great opportunity to
hear someone great to talk and it's
usually like an ex-president like Barack
Obama or a Bill Gates or even a
Seinfeld, someone huge. Well, I'd like
to wager that these graduated graduates
would have been too impressed when this
guy stepped up to the
podium. Hi,
[Music]
everybody. Hello. I mean, wow. Look at
this crowd. Look at all these graduation
caps with their decorations. Wow.
What? Couldn't get Mr. Snuffalopagus.
What do you got?
That's no good writing
that one. No, you can't have it. How
about you have Nick Blake? What's Kermit
the Frog going to show? What's he going
to What's he going to tell us? I like
Kermit the Frog. What What do you like
about him? He's a He's a very very
overrated character. He holds that show
together. Uh, how about you have Nick
Blakey? That would You'd be the Kermit
of the Frog of this show then, would
you?
Maybe that's why Maybe that's why I'm
drawn to him. Guys, guys, I I wouldn't
be loitering at the scene of this one.
How about you take this? I'd be I'd be
getting out of here quick. How about you
have Nick Blake in your 20 or more
against the Crows and you can have a
dollar 87 for that. We already put Watch
me boot this home. Watch me win them
back with the the ones that are still
here.
This is uh the final leg, leg four. Uh
now when attempting to nail a trick at a
skate park, you got to pull it off.
Yeah. And now have a look. There it
goes. So far so good. Yeah. B. What
could go wrong?
Oh jeez.
Why' you wager he has what Eddie Bets
would call a sore tummy one?
Yes. Can I have it? You can't have it.
No, you can't. But how about you have
Scott Pendlebury up over 22 and a half
against you 187. What do you reckon?
I'll bag it up. Let's have a look. It's
paying. There it is. 1428. There you go.

Family violence harms too many
Australians each year. Family violence
is a national disgrace. We need to call
it out. It needs to change. We have a
shocking level of domestic violence in
Australia. Domestic violence and any
abuse is just not on. Don't do it and
don't stand for it. Let's give
Australian families the types of society
they deserve. Treat your family with the
love and care they deserve. By calling
out disrespect when we see it or hear it
and never making excuses for violence,
we can all play a role in ending
domestic violence against women in our
communities.
It's just not on is the name of the
campaign. It's an ep epidemic.
Behavior's got to change in Australia.
And there's a campaign that's been
launched this week. It's going to be
shown on the screens of the MCG on
Friday night. Uh it's we've got to do
something about it in Australia. There's
too much going on. and credit to you for
stepping up and being part of that. So,
good on you, mate. Enough's enough. Uh
it's our great shame. We have to deal
with it. We need to deal with it head
on. Indeed. Stop it. So, uh everybody at
the MCG on Friday night will be able to
see that in its in its full uh and
please heed the message uh and spread
the word. Of course, there are other
matters. Of course, can I take a moment?
And now, this is this is one of the
greatest things that's happened in a
long time. Uh my old school Peninsula
over the weekend had a famous victory
and the beat the greatest school had
football uh in this state for some time.
Peninsula for the first time in 65 years
has beaten the great Assumption College
and it's a fantastic Well done.
We have been trying for 65 years. Beat
him at home. Nathan Jones was the coach.
It's a 2hour bus trip from Mount Eliza 2
and 1 half hours. You go up there uh and
you generally you get beaten and you go
back. It was a horrific day. We always
wondered about this day and finally
Peninsula have done it. It's my old alma
mada. Yes.

You're handling it very gracefully.
That's where you go. Mari Mar, where you

Eagles. So there you go. Big hello to
