[Music] Never been more. How good. And again, you join us on a really big night on a really special weekend for footy and a special weekend for everybody around here. Big Freeze 11, fighting the M andd beast. Of course, Beck Daner will be joining us a little bit later on the show along with one of the sliders who's going down on King's birthday, Arian Tipman's going to be joining us on [Music] and it's a special weekend for Collingwood coach Craig McCrae who's going to be find out as to why it's such a significant weekend for Craig McCra. Lovely to be with you two BS. Uh there's a fair bit going and speaking of Collingwood. Great week. It's a great night to have the coach. Well, big bigger news than that. Bigger news than that, mate. Coming down the pike, Tasmania. This is piping hot. The Tasmania the bid for the 19th team. It's uh well, it's up for grabs at the moment. Not a great day for the stadium. Not a great day for the players and and possibly an even worse day for their mascot Ramen who was involved in a very I'm just saying this is it's not looking good. The Omens aren't great. It's hanging on a press at the moment, but hopefully it'll all work itself out. But it is a great night to have the calling coach on because they are they're they're out of control. They are they're crushing the opposition. Uh before they even get on the ground though, their captain is crushing. Well, even the guy who wants to toss the coin get his hands crushed. Have a look at this. This is unbelievable. And ow they they mean business right from the getgoing trouble. They're sparing no one in the moment. You're getting their way and their form. It's a How much games are they on top by? Uh two points but good percentage. show. This is what the apocalypse looks like. I'm sure the way things are going and the way they're traveling. Y if Putin wants to start World War II, I'd be all for it. Just just anytime before grand final day, Mari. Jesus. If they if they look like they're winning Yeah. in September, I'm going to take a holiday to Mount Etnner. It's a volcano. It's exploding at the moment. General it blew up this week. um all the old black good boys. Is that what we're doing tonight? We're going to explain all the jokes. I just want to know now. All right. I've got some margin of what's on coming up. All right. That seem to work for Mick. Well, I tell you what, that's we saw the handshake and the you know lead from the front. I tell you what else is um Jeremy How he's a general back there now. had him miked up last week and uh it was very revealing the way he encouraged his teammates and uh if you have a listen I just reckon they need to get him a dog. Yes, good boy. Hold on. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Yes. Good boy. [Applause] You know when his teammate miss a target, he hits them over the head with a newspaper. You like that, don't you? I saw him in the warm-up throwing Jamie Ellen a tennis ball after the game in in the rooms for the best players. He gives him a tummy rub. Yes, you are. You are. He does sound like he needs a dog. Hey, big changes at the AFL. Major restructuring in the footy ops department. Head of football performance has been added alongside Laura Kane. Greg Swan, veteran AFL administrator. Great call by the AFL. Get a club guy in there. Feels like a really, really important move and he's got a heap in front of him. One of the things he's got to um get his head around is is the umpiring. There's some work to be done in that I believe. So, whoever gets uh that portfolio, this uh what has to be addressed first and foremost with the umpires is the whistle. Oh, well, there's a soft cap affecting the amount of peas you can put in a whistle. Now, we haven't we haven't touched that up. That is exactly how it was. We went down. By the way, the AFL has been re the AFL that's been restructured like um I was restructured out of some relationships by ex-girlfriends. You know, I mean, it's not it doesn't seem that uh Mount Edner. Anyway, you lost confidence in you bailed early on that didn't even get to the He got subbed out about halfway through that joke. I'm just glad they've got I'm I'm just glad they've got uh Greg Swan there. Do you know what I mean? A breath of fresh air, a fire brand, a kid. Just a bit of energy. How old is he? 63. But no, he's a very good operator, Swany. And that he's exactly the sort of bike the AFL need in there. He wants to connect with club land cuz that seems to be one of the big issues. That's his disconnect between. So I reckon he should take a leaf out of the former commissioner Jack Hamilton. If you want the clubs to think that you're on their side, have a look at have a look the way he conducted business back in the day. Here he is just after a board meeting. And this is him um just throwing his full weights behind in you know support behind the club. This is what this is what he was doing. He just come out of a board meeting. Remember I mention that you did? Yeah. Do you reckon he knows the cameras are on? What are you going to do? Oh, he's good. That's strong. That's No. Well, he's a great connector and a great man, Jack Hamilton. So, let's hope that Greg Swan has a similar connection to the clubs like you mentioned. It's a very stupid move on. Very good point of view, mate. Hey to you, Abby Holmes, who's a great member of the Channel 7 footy family. Abs pregnant. She's left her boundary writing duties for the time being to go and deliver her first child. They're emotional scenes. Look at Rich like he paid for them himself. That's the look of a bloke who's swung by the cemetery on the way to She's a great I'm telling you right now. Now it opens up the the whole who's going to She's very very good. So very question is who's going to replace it? Who's going to replace it? Do you know? I don't. No. Channel 7 haven't come. No. No. That was some some fresh blood. No. I've had Who would you consider? Well, there's so many options. Young man, as a possible replacement for Abby Holmes, by the way, some with experience. Talking about current uh coach of the Western Bulldogs, Luke Beverage. He had a go back in 1997. He did. And we can welcome Luke Beverage, who's joined us on the boundary, and he'll be there all afternoon. Good day, Drew. How you going? You got to put him in the mix. I'm lucky he's a good coach. What about the current Hawthorne president, Andy Gaus? He had had a go back in the day in 97. And have a listen to him try and keep the conversation flowing with Sandy Roberts. Down to the boundary line. Andy G. Andy. Sandy. How are you? I'm very well, thank you. That's it. Electric. You have more to say, Sam. And when you come down the boundary, you want some information. Like it's thought he was on FaceTime then. He didn't seem to know what he was doing. Mike's hamstring. Is it an ankle or what? We need some information from someone. Sounds like someone's auditioning for it. M. Settle down. You got enough jobs, mate. Um anyway, whoever they go for, here's a piece of advice. You got to come up with some original ideas. You know what I mean? You've got to be you've got to have original thoughts. You have strong opinions. You can't Anyway, that is something that the great Bernie Quinnland, of course, he struggled with it slightly. Well, we were down in the Eagles and the Melbourne rooms earlier. In the Eagles rooms, it was almost like a picnic. I was very surprised at the casual atmosphere in the rooms. The uh actually it was almost like a pic picnic atmosphere, wasn't it? With the rest, it's no picnic on the boundary. Picnic up here tonight. That was Dixie. That was Dixie Marshall. Superstar. Okay. Trailblazer back in the day. We must get her on. We It would be great to get her on. We'll have a picnic. I bet some terrible news uh for Kellen Ward and Greater Western Sydney. Of course, this bike is a warrior. Much loved by teammates, respected by everybody in the competition early in the game against Richmond. The knee went with feared that it was the worst and confirmed a couple of days later that it's his second ACL on the leg that hadn't been damaged before. You can see how much he means to his teammates. Came out to the group at 3/4 time on crutches. Of course, never a good sign. Uh he addressed the group, got him across the line. Inspirational words, but is that I don't know, Sam, is that some of the best work you've seen on crutches? It was undoubtedly courageous and very inspirational for him to come out of crutches, by the way. But the way he just ambled out uh like it just didn't do it for me. He's just had a knee. Well, not when you compare it to the way Ron Barasi marched out there in 1976. Have a look at him. Real intent. He's on a mission. There's a sense of urgency, by the You know, he's obviously got something to say. And by the way, does he let whoever it is? Jeez, they cop it. Bang. Mate, here's an idea. Move the huddle closer to the boundary. You just move it closer to the boundary. They make him go all that way. Three quarter time. He came out on a motorized scooter. You know what I mean? It's not the best crutch work for me. That goes to Plugger. Tony Lockett back at the Mercy Hotel took Umbrage. Oh, bang. Right on. Right on. And here's the second one. Oh, forget forget the machete band. Get the crutches band. People were very upset of that till they realized he was throwing it at Eddie Maguire and then it kind of tempered it just in. Speaking of Kellum Ward, of course, back into his second M Rico as we mentioned in 2019. He did it early in this game against Jalong. Came back to play 110 more games to G. A lot of people were saying at the time he's 35 years of age now that this might have been it for Cal Ward. It might have been a bridge too far to come back. You could see how devastated he was when the news came through that it was likely to be. Absolutely. Hopefully hopefully he recovers from this one as well. You never know. Yep. So, but back then in 2019 that was uh just tough to watch. It was. And uh I'll always remember that because um I remember at the time special comment as man Dermit Breton. He captured the emotion. He captured the power of the moment uh beautifully with words that I I'll never forget. Now I will say this. I think the power of Dermy's words may have been slightly offset by the fact that it happened during Fox footy's Game of Thrones round. This is the devastating side of football. That's a captain of a league club head in hands and you just absolutely forgive him for that. I mean there's no Shannon crying. You see a man whose livelihood not what he loves doing is taken away from him for a year another year now. I'm just I'm just glad it wasn't Bridgetton round. You know what I mean? Would have been full package going on. We we can speak with experience from well to underline the dangers attached to having a theme round. It happened to us too back in 1999 when we had our Harry Potter round and uh I'm just going to say that one got away from us a bit. And massive news just in as we go to air tonight on the front out of the Richmond Football Club. Sensationally, their senior coach Jeff Gishan has been sacked. This is incredible. This is an own goal with the Richmond Football Club. I've never seen anything like it. I can't believe it. Why would you get rid of a bloke who has a winning percentage of over 50%. Mark my words, Jeff Gishon will coach again. Is it supposed to be Hermione? Expect us Patron. It could have happened anyway. It just a long time ago, but that is the oldest looking Harry Potter I've ever seen. That's Harry Potter with a comb over Harry Potter. Harry Potter not supposed to be older than Dumbledore. Harry Potter needs his prostate. What do you think that thing was for? Patronus expect. We're going to get a break out of the way. Do it. No. Do it with it. Do it. No, I'm not. Olympic champion, big free slider coming up on the other side of the lake. Arian Tmas joining us. I can't do it. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] garden hotel. You used to um spend a bit of time here in the day, didn't you? The old gardening the Han flows freely down there. Of course, Han could get involved with the program via the social media platforms. They're many and varied and they have been running hot. It's often a bit of a hot bid for uh for um unhappiness social media, but not this week with the news that Sam Pang is back hosting the Loies for the third time here. Thank you. Wonderful. Very nice of you. It's in very very safe hands again, Pangy. So, well done you. Feels longer. It feels feels like it's been going on a lot longer than that. Big thank you to Channel 7 for having me back. You know, obviously uh after you to uh take your cut, there's not much money left. So, I really I really appreciate. It's going to be fantastic. And I'll tell you who was more happy than anyone to hear this news. Little Pangy. [Music] Yes. Yes. Come [Music] on. How good is that? That's how you should open the lo. Oh, that's a great idea. Come out. We play the music and you just give it a bit of Come on. Come on. You know, could you do it next? Well, that's not how you do it. How do you do it then? Come on. Can you start the music again? I need to start music. [Applause] [Music] Anyway, I don't know what you're I don't know what you're laughing at probably made your iPhone, by the way, that just be happy, you know, that he's still going and everything's gone. Not in front of our special guest. No, no. In fact, our special guest is waiting to join us. Big freeze 11. We're back at the MCG for one of the really special days. King's birthday. Of course, the big slide. Uh the big freeze, I should say. The sliders are being announced. And one joins us tonight. Fourtime Olympic gold medalist, six time gold medalist, and world champions. One of Australia's greatest ever Olympians. And that is saying something. Greatest sports person in this country right now. Possibly. So, tell me otherwise. Please make a welcome Arian Tipas. Everybody, [Applause] [Music] welcome aboard. This is great. Thank you. We're so excited to see you go down. We're going to be talking about this in a moment, but we need to check your bonafideies. Like you, this is a big footy day, of course. Uh you're born in Tazzay. You live in Brisbane, but but there but you're um but you're a big Hawthorne supporter and you become an ambassador for the footy club this year. Yeah. Uh, I remember when Ash asked me and he said, "Honey, you know, a bit of a I got to tell you something." He said, "Will you be the ambassador for the club and uh, I love the Hawks. I grew up with Hawthorne." I was telling Mick this morning on radio, I got corrupted when they came to Tazzy and as a 5-year-old, I switched from Richmond. Uh, and uh, and why did you switch? Tell us what tell us why that Well, when they did the deal with the Tazzy government, um they used to come down and after the game in Lonnie, they would sometimes at the town hall have every player lined up and you'd be able to go and get your stuff signed by every player and I just as a little kid like that's your biggest dream. So, and everyone in school went for Hawthorne. It was just on footy colors day everyone was in Hawks and so then I changed. So, so see how important football is to Tasmanians down there. You eggheheads in government. Build the stupid stadium. So, I mean I mean you travel the world. You travel the world and perform on the biggest stages against international superstars, but how much of a thrill is it to be able to go inside the Hawthorne Footy Club and and be part of the place? Oh, it's amazing. Um, it's a my my dream as a little girl. I still get nervous sometimes walking around the players and I'm like, they're just like me. Like, it's like it's totally it's amazing. And and Ash and everyone at the club, it's got an incredible culture. Even I took mom, she's a massive Richmond supporter. I took her uh Gee whiz. I've been stalking the family for some time now. I took her and she said to me, "Wow, it's an amazing club." So maybe I'll bring her over to Hawks, too. But all right, let's have a look at the slide as you there's still two to go. So this is a fantastic I mean, look at the lineup there. Such an honor to be part of this and people never say no when they're asked and it's a brilliant line. So So how were you asked? There's two more we're waiting for. So, we'll find out in the coming days, but how did how did it come to pass that you were asked? Pretty special story. Uh, obviously Neil is the Australian of the Year and I was there at the awards as a nominee as well. And so, we were just lined up to get head shot the day before the awards and I spotted Neil with his family. And so, I turned around to say hello and basically say, "What you do is amazing." And then, uh, Beck and him went on to ask me to be a slider. And, uh, it was an unreal moment. And I actually got really emotional because I don't know just being around all these incredible people at the Australian of the Year Awards and being asked and then being told you have to keep it a secret for 6 months. Uh very very very special but absolutely not even a decision. I 100% wanted to be a part of it. So great. It's so great. So that's where you go if you want to contribute. It's obviously about raising funds to fight the beast. They are doing a super job job. The blue army fightmd.org.au Are you and when you come down the slide, get into the pool and do a tumble turn. See, see if you can post a PB. Yeah, quick turn time. How do you go? Do you know Do you know if it's a fast pool? You should find these things. How do you go in the icy stuff? Are you any good in the frozen water? Tazzy girl. Yeah, Tazzy girl. But I don't do ice baths too often. And it's also a lot colder. I think it's like - 4. I think it's - 4. So, it's going to be chilly. And the weather here is horrendous. And so, when we come out and we're in that that breeze, it's going to be a bit chilly. So, the theme this year is iconic Australians. Everyone has to come dressed as an iconic Australian. Have you worked out your character? Who you're coming down as? I have. I have. Can I throw a couple at you? Yeah. Chappelle Corby with with a boogie board. Come down with a boogie board. Um, I don't cocaine Cassie I'm making the mushroom lady island just dropping them out there. You don't have to go with any ray gun. That's an idea. Matt Matt Shington's going down as far and and which I have a massive problem with because far of course was from New Zealand bar. Of course, mate. Doesn't actually work. So, you you'll unveil your character on the day. It'll be fun. I can't wait. Look, just a word of, you know, advice for whatever. But but less can be more. You don't have to overdo it. I mean, Mick Mick was one of the originals. He he went down the You know, Mick went down. Have a look at that. That was that was me getting ready for the enhanced games. What was the what was the mentality going down on your stomach? Yeah. He had a theme. He had a theme around it was hello girls, dinner's gone. No, there's there was a fair bit of water displacement that day. I've got to say, what did you what what serious question, what were what did you go down as? Yeah. Well, there was no I was the first one to wear costume. No one no one wore costumes and I said cuz I was going last. I said, could I dress up? So, I thought go down as a stripper. Is that what you said? No. I had a cape on and some booties and I almost look like a tumble. Thank you very much. I'm I'm stripping down for LA. I'm hoping to make it. Are you going to be in LA? I will be in LA. You will be in LA. We've got to see you in LA. 2029. The the Olympics. Sorry. [Laughter] And I'm taking it one week at a time over here. I don't look that far ahead. Any chance you can stretch it out to 2032 or is that just ridiculous to even contemplate? Never. I mean, never say never, but I'll be 32. That's ancient in swimming world. Around. I can say never right now. No. No chance at all. Just enjoy 2028. Of course, we're doing it for the inspiration that is what the inspiration that is Neil Danaher, the family and uh and the volunteers around the Danah. You've had a very special week. They have been great. Well, I know we won't keep you long. Yeah, I know. You started this morning with Breakfast Radio with Mix. So, you've had a long day. Um, but Arian, as you know, the weekend's all about Neil and genuine friend of the show. Genuine. Yep. And, uh, he's been on the show many times. So, we thought I'd try a a drip tray with a difference, right? So, I sent Neil some questions and I don't know the answers, but he was good enough to answer them. I'm just saying. Let's get into it. All right. No worries. Here. So the first question was that I submitted to him was favorite movie. Neil the castle an Australian classic movie Castle 81 minutes and that felt long. Um I haven't by the way we haven't seen we haven't we don't know what he's we favorite television show. The Sopranos love a good gangster show. Yeah it's a good show. A bit scary that one. It's a classic. I'm scared. Do you ever watch these the Sopranos around? No, I haven't. You should do it. It's great. All right, we'll keep moving. Favorite food meal. Oh, here we go. Pork, especially Cooh's fresh pork where where 10 cents from every purchase of Cooh's Australian pork products goes to support the charity. That is outstanding. Wow, that is the best old headband in a plug. It's unbelievable. Brilliant. Uh oh, a couple more to finish. Toughest opponent, Malcolm B. I would have thought M and D, but there you go. That's just me. Uh I've said that to Neil many times anyway. But Blighty would have been a except Malcolm BL. All right. Uh favorite Dan, her brother, Anthony, Chris, or Terry? Neither. I would go with the sisters weight of numbers as there seven of them. That's true. And you know the big finish. The big finish of course. Favorite color? The blue on our big freeze beanie. Nice work. Amazing man and continues to be an inspiration for millions of people. Arian, thanks for coming on. We really appreciate it. We can't wait to see what uh what you pick up on on Monday and we can't wait for LA. I know it feels like a long time away, but you'll be uh starting to prepare for that uh in earnest in no time at all. So, thanks for coming on and good luck with everything in front of you and enjoy Monday. Carry on. It's our very special guest on the other side of the boat, Callingwood, coach, Craig McCra, to join us next. [Music] It is big freeze at the MCG today. Here we go. And it is very cold. Go. Fully submerged. In she goes. Ready to jump in. Here we go. Down the slide. The pool has been emptied. Away we go. And a sensational entry. Oh, away he goes. Absolutely magnificent. [Applause] [Music] Welcome back to the show. It is the front bar. We're here for Han. How good. A great friend of the program joins us next. A humble champion. It's part of our powerhouse Brisbane Lions team many, many years ago. Now a premiership coach at Collingwood. This is a very special weekend for him for a number of reasons. Please make him welcome Craig McCrae. Everybody, hey, strong lose that. I know. It's just that's what happens with calling. But strong, very strong Flanny gun again for Yeah, my wife picked this one out. Um, congratulations on the you you pretty much won the flag. Oh, not yet. Congratulations. So, you're telling us off air that you think it's yours to yours to lose it. You said you wouldn't come on until you were home and hosed. So, here here we are. I think I think the phrase undefeated for the rest of the season came out. Couldn't be more confident. You're ne you're never satisfied obviously until the job's done, but halfway through the season, he just did refuse to answer any of any of that whatsoever. I was hoping silence was just you're pretty well. I mean, you must be delighted the way this the squad such a squad mentality you've got. The way the squad's getting fantastic. Yeah, last last year we clearly didn't want didn't uh you know finish the year as much as we wanted to and didn't make the finals. So, it gives you a head start on some of the opposition, but um yeah, we've had this sort of next man up mentality and and you know, today's been very good for us and but we're well aware there's a long way to go, Mick. And uh yeah, this this week's game in particular is is a big one, but we got our eyes set on this one. No, we'll get we'll get to that. It's a significant one for you in a moment of course, but do does your mind I know you're looking forward, but does your mind go back to the reaction of the opening round game and some of the criticism that game was I mean it was it was it was so over the top felt like the press to go off halfcock like old has been I mean Nick Dayos was getting called unprofessional. I mean some of the reaction to that game did it did it was it ammunition for you? Uh we didn't we didn't address it to be honest but um it looks pretty ordinary now does it? No I I think it's it's probably natural course of of one Collingwood but when there was only two games in that round too that and there's now there's a thousand shows on TV. They got to report on something. Um a little bit a little bit rea. Yep. Yep. Well uh it is is the oldest list in the It is. cities, but you know, the experience is a is a is a is a it's a factor. The Craig McCrae rates very very high. I didn't expect you to, you know, aging list is fine. Like this show, by the way, but um aging list. I thought I I thought you were in here to recruit Andy in the mid in the mid-season draft. I'm I'm I'm there for you if you need me. I gave you a call. No, that's right. Uh it's a it's it's an aging list, but look how well it's going. and um Vision from training uh this week. Um I just want to say Ste still side bottom and Jeremy How are looking magnificent and Scott Prenlebury here looks like he could play forever I reckon. Um is that a genuine question did you do you care about the age of your list at the start of the season? It's hard to get a car park at the club. It's uh now Pendle's a bit sore there. He's light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light lot light duties early in the way to keep him off his legs you don't care about who it doesn't matter no I think I think that's one thing that um you know we we do really well at the moment is not to put ceilings on things and um these guys in particular are showing that they're ageless in the way they're approaching and and what what you don't see is what these guys are doing for our younger players you know the ability to have Pendles you know Ed Allen is you know and Nick do are guys that are getting mentored by these guys daily and showing them how to do it um no age at the moment it's become your signature now the how you react with your players and communicate with your players on game day down on the bench. I mean, you started the first couple of weeks of your senior career up in the box before you headed down. Why did you why did you make the move? I think I lost one game. I just it it just I found it really confining and and your communication is mixed like you can't get messages across across quickly and and uh and I like to carry on like a pork chop and uh um yeah. Do you think they feed off you? That was halftime, by the way. Do you hear they feed off? I mean, is it a It's a mutual thing. You feel like you've kind of feed off one another a bit? Uh, somewhat. I I I try to stay relaxed, but there's opportunities like that. Big games away from Melbourne, which we don't do too often. Don't travel too far. It might come up. It might come up. Um, no, I I do like to invest in in trying to stay positive in in what we're doing. Every now and again, you get ahead of yourself with the with the emotion. Um, but you can communicate really well and you get a read of what the players are doing. And I heard Sam Mitchell say something similar this week. You actually get a greater feel of what's going on in the game. Quite often you can come down to halftime a little bit sort of up upbeat and and think the group's needing a bit of rev, but they're actually the complete opposite. So, um, yeah, communication is probably the main thing. We're seeing a lot more of it these days. And sometimes you see two coaches coaching from the boundary line and occasionally you see a bit of interaction between the two. Here you are with Kingsley, you're getting into GWS and then Kingsley goes, "Hang on, pipe down. Why don't you take a seat?" And yet you do pretty quickly. Now I I should point out you guys are are friends. Uh you were together at Richmond. What was said there? Uh I I I am quite cheeky and uh and I like to be cheeky. This job doesn't allow you to be as cheeky as you want to be at times, but I was being a bit cheeky and I Yeah, Laura rang me on the on the Sunday said, "Craig, can you come to the principal's office? We we need to talk about it." But I was just being cheeky about a few things. And then when I saw King's Arms, I thought I might go back to That's a good call. 2023 was magnificent after a stunning 2022. You so got so close to making the grand final in your first year. I don't know whether you've reflected on this at all, but you know what it feels like to do it as a player. Now you've done it as a coach and we haven't had you on the show, you know, since this. Is there any similarity in terms of the satisfaction you feel? Uh, I'd like to say we are different. We are and and it's personnel based um and method based. We are different. Um yeah, there's some similarities in the way that we we're playing, but No, but you do you what do you take out of a premiership as a player versus a premiership as a coach? Um well I know I know personally once we won that game that life changed a lot for for me and my family like um I was very much a shadow guy in my lifetime and I didn't mind living in the shadows but that certainly changed you know going to uh you know going out in public was was different but it what I did love was the emotion from Colwood supporters and and and what it meant to so many and and I heard some incredible stories post the grand final around what it meant for their family and and members and and how how much they celebrate and what it meant to them and And as a coach, you get to live that. As a player, not so much. And you're so invested in in so many others, you know, the boards and and supporter base and and the like. So, um, completely different feeling, to be honest. I mean, a mad day. You you got as much sleep as you possibly could, but Gabrielle was having a baby. Maggie was arriving and she arrived at about 7:00 that morning. I mean, when you think about that as part of that day, where do you go? That's why it's different. It's pretty hard to sort of do that again. Yes. Yes, it is. Can I Can I say something? That was a great day for you and the club. The only thing that would have made it better if Peter do turned out to be the father. [Laughter] You don't you don't have to answer that. No, I'm going to. Um, it was incredible day and and and little Maggie's a little rockstar. She's 20 months old now. Taking to the VFL and everyone wants to get a photo with her and um No, it's incredible day. And my wife was unbelievable and um yeah sort of she should have won the north medal really and but to to go through that emotion there was the joy of it all and then to celebrate with the with the with the win was yeah like nothing else. So speaking of the dayes you've got a player who some people are suggesting if he keeps going on the trajectory who you might challenge for the greatest of all time status I don't expect you to answer that necessarily but how do you go about coaching this kid? Um well I'd like to um think that just let Nick be himself to be honest. We communicate regularly about parts of the game and let him express himself. Um he he's an exceptional preparer and and for the young listeners out there the best trainers are the best players and he he's he leads the way in that. Um his talent is off the charts and um his leadership's really gone to a new level this year coming to the leadership group. But have a look at this goal. Not many in the competition can do this. It's amazing. Yeah. You ever kick a goal like that, mate? No. No chance. That's not true. No, not many can. But I celebrated that one. Yeah, there's some making a doo is a magical m, you know, there's some wonderful footage in 20122 that I can't believe that's when Nick Dos made his deboo, but of you announcing to Nick and Patrick Leinsky that they're about to make their deboo and have a look at if you haven't seen it and just try to work out who Craig McCrae's favorite is. It gives me great pleasure to announce that these two guys are going to represent the footy club for the first time. Knowing you for a short time, but the way that you just continue to tip in, you're a great person around the place. You're a great energy, great leader, role model for our younger players. I think you know, not only your football ability, but we have got a real asset in the person you are. I'm great to have you in that footy environment, mate. And we wish you all the best for what come. Um, and Patty, have you met a nicer bloke? I was getting the wind up from the Is that what you tell him when you drag him? Would you like to address it down the barrel? Say something nice to Patrick Leinsky. Something you really You are the nicest bloke ever. Don't [ __ ] him down. No, that'll do. Yeah. We We mentioned uh Nick Dayos, but brother Josh is not a bad player either, by the way. Hall Australian, best and fairest. And you underlined that point when you were celebrating his 100th game and you were talking about him in the rooms after the game. Pretty good 100 games for Josh Dos. Yeah, I said to him before the game he's eligible for father son now. Let's get busier. I I mean that I don't go after after a game. Do you get him eating oysters to get going? No, I don't understand. Uh let's put him There's plenty more to talk to Craig McCra about which we'll do on the other side of this [Music] [Applause] song after the game. King's birthday last year. Craig McCrae, our special guest. Craig, why was this such a significant day for you and your family? Uh that's Pat there. Pat Russell. He's my brother-in-law, my wife's brother. um unfortunately got diagnosed with MMD um two years ago to this week and um we we had him in the rooms uh after the game and get him in the song to sing a song with us. So um he was in the box for the day and and then at the club too. So um we wanted to celebrate him. Beautiful. So to see Patty going through that and you know the the the the trauma of it all, does it make you double down on wanting to be you know part of the push to encourage people to do what they can? Yeah, absolutely. And um you know this cause is is an incredible one. We had Neil Danaher down the club today and and you saw him before the the remarkable technology he's got now to gave us incredible speech and um yeah we're all here here it is now. We were all there and there's Pat. He spoke of his journey and his struggles. He's got two young kids. Um just a normal country bloke from Bendigo and uh it's unfortunate that he's been diagnosed with the disease. You said two years ago and how's he traveling? Yeah, like like he's actually in the audience tonight. Hi, Patty. Um, it's he's he loves a beer and uh we look look forward to going back. Come to the right place, Patty. See you after the show. It's it's it's the the more that people like you can do to lend your um weight to causes like this, the the better it is for those who are trying to make a breakthrough and help future generations. And Patty's got the battle on his hands. That's right. And um Neil said that today too and so did Pat around, you know, the cure not might not be there now, but the work that's being done, the incredible work that's been done over now 11 years, we're hoping there's a cure for the future. I've never seen anyone get behind a community get behind something like over here. If you look at our crowd now, there's so many beanies in the audience that they've just come on their own. For you to be part of that King's birthday Monday, 100,000 people turn up. Generally, they're all in the spirit must give you great joy and hope that there's we're in the we're going in the right direction. That's the word that Pat used today that um you know, the beanies represent hope for him and um and then for others. And it it's an incredible visual when you see 80 plus thousand beanies in the crowd on the day and and they build up to it. Um yeah, we're really grateful for it and hopefully we put on a really good show for for those that you do. So So good on you. Good on you, Craig McCra. Um we have a we have a segment on the show that is often or generally about the guest. It's the BWS stat of course and over to you Michael. Do you mind if I take a go at this? His stat involves you personally. Okay, Craig. Um what about the total distance traveled by playing as a player? Yeah, you happy to play. This uh is the stat involving you during his storyried Brisbane Lions. Correct. Absolutely. As a player, Craig McCrae, 195 games, 320,710 km covered. That's a lot of frequent fly points. Yeah. Antset went just by by way of underlining how incredible that is, let's compare it with say Scott Pendlebury. uh who's played 413 games. Over double that. We would have thought that's over double. That's so of 320,000. Where where's this going? 950,000. 950. Could be a million. A mill. Craig. Scott penalty 43 games. 248,000. That's less than you. Yeah. What's going on? What's happened here? It's a long way to Marvel. Well, on that stat, colleague would for the rest of the season stat, colleague would travel how to Melbourne only two times uh in their remaining 11 games and seven of those games are at the MCG. So when you do travel to Marvel, will you arrest players? Will you stay overnight in Dot? You know this, have you looked at Richmond's draw? Yeah. Oh, Richmond are doing it. Can Richmond make the eight? Uh they're playing really well, aren't they? And that uh actually did say at the start of the year, you already stayed in this mode and put it. Yeah, I thought that their senior players, having lived there for a period of time, that their senior players were going to be really important. And I think you're starting to see that when they're all fit and available. Well, if you're just joining us, we've got the the current coach here talking about the chances of Richmond, Mount Ed. Craig, it's that time of the night. Uh Keith Greg was subjected to it last week. Not subjected. Just had a wonderful experience. A wonderful experience. And it's a harrowing experience. You're about to have a wonderful experience as well. It's time for Sam's drip tray. We may wish we were in Mount Etnner after this. Tell him how it works, Greg. You know how drip trade works, don't you? Some questions. We don't get to all the questions. Sometimes a host would you jump in with a stupid question about Richmond and it takes us off track. So, I've got, you know, genuine questions, punchy answers. You can pass if you want. There's no pressure. You played, like we said, you played 195 games Brisbane. Toughest opponent? Uh, David Wurunda, West Coast. Sure. Absolutely. Toughest opponent as a coach? Uh, Pontipelli. Yep. What about another coach? He look good in poly. What did you say? My bot would look good in black and white. I just throw that. Toughest toughest. Wow. That's throwing it out there. Wow. Get on it. Did you hear that first? Yeah. Wow. Y um he hasn't signed yet, has he? At foot. No. That's why I threw it out. You're unbelievable. What about you doing? This is a hard-hitting a hard-hitting. It's like you're on the agenda setters. What hardest coach to coach against? Uh, I'm going to say Chris Scott. Okay. Best player you've ever seen? Michael Voss. Yeah. Actually, I'll say Gary Apple Jr. Um, you can't change. Sorry, mate. You've got to tell. We got to take your first answer. Okay. Sorry. Lee Matthews was your coach for three prematures. Biggest lesson you ever learned from Lee? Just listen to Lee and don't talk back. It's great. If you could change, do you have that? Sorry. Do you have that kind of gravitas? That's true. Like do the players do they fear you? No. No. Um Lee was really scary at his best um just by saying nothing. But he he had scary eyes and he just learned to listen quite often. Hey, fly. And I just keep on moving. Well, and now it's all changed. He's just a big teddy bear now, isn't he? Grandpa doesn't know where he is. Jeez. Oh boy. I'd like to distance myself from those comments. You're on your own. Mix words off air, not mine. Um, if you could change one rule about in the game, what would it be? Uh, the um inconclusive footage of a decision um being overturned. Being overturned. Make a decision. Let the let the technology do it or Okay, make a decision. Is it still in the modern day of rotations, is it still possible for a player to be dragged old school, makes a mistake, send out the runner, get him off? Generally, that's what the sub's for, but not too often. No. Okay. A nice. Yeah. See, it's not all just Mickey Mouse stuff. This is a very Got the hard-hitting, good questions, interesting footy stuff. Well, you got two left. Favorite food. That's one of your two. Is a favorite? Uh, probably just anything my wife cooks. She's she's amazing. She's probably watching at home. Just anything. Uh, pizza. Probably pizza. Well, can I just say if I came over to your house and you were going to cook me something, I don't even want your answer cuz I just tell you I want to see show you this and just hope that you wouldn't cook me lasagna cuz you don't know what you're talking about. At the end of the day, if you have too much cheese on your lasagna, um, it doesn't matter. Okay? It won't affect the result. It doesn't. The the the the kitchen dirty or the cheese on the laser. That doesn't matter. That is just nons. I just That's just nonsense. Just nonsense. Can I Can I just It didn't quite come out. I had everyone coming to me all these excuses why we weren't winning. And someone come up to me the week before and said, "We didn't win because there's too much cheese on the lasagna." I said, "You've got to be kidding me." Didn't quite come out like that. Well, there's a few Italian noners that have just put out a hit on you after. How many have I seriously got left? You've got one left. Really? Oh, well, why would you like Why would you wind the Rolling Stones up during satisfaction? But anyway, whatever. Um, favorite color? Black and white. Oh, yeah. I got two left. Oh my god. Have you I'll get him to bring the car around. Hey, you're a very lean. You're a very fit man. Have Have you ever been fat? When I retired, I was uh I just got addicted to donuts, so I ate lots of them. Um but I would have thought I was fat. All right. Glad we went back for that. All right. Craig McCra still on. No, we are. You wouldn't think so, would you? Craig McCrae, last question. Craig, favorite vegetable question. Jesus, what a great segment. Yeah, the first one's scary. When you sit here every week, you get you kind of tune out after question three. I I don't know. You're passing. He's passing. He's passed. You're the first person to pass on favorite vegetable. Anyway, that was great. We love it when you come to our show. Congratulations. Other stuff here. your favorite board game, favorite video game. What's your favorite booger? What the Marjon? [Laughter] Who's your on the way out? Who who right now is biggest threat? Who Who's the teams that could probably trouble you in a in a final series? Many. There's still many. There's a long way to go. Brisbane at their best is really hard to beat. The Cats really hard to play against. Um easy draw coming up, too. You'd know all about that. Just one wick at a time. All right, we get that. mate, thanks for coming on the show. Um, keep up the good work for Kings. All the best to Patty. Um, we wish him all the very best and good on you for doing what you're doing to promote the course. Good luck on Monday. Thanks for coming. Greg McCra, very special guest. Don't go anywhere.

Great to have you with us on the front bar. We're here for our good. Um Multi not too far away. Just a bit of housekeeping. [Music] It's great to have you with us on the front bar. We're here for hard. How good um multi not too far away. Just a bit of housekeeping from last week's um show of course. I mean you were all over this. You're Last week I highlighted the Western Bullog sales department in terms of big big fish for sponsors. They landed their white whale the altera stationers last week on the banner. Third party agreements go that's a beauty. Absolutely. This show's all about that gifts from third parties. Now last week just inest well you may may have mentioned that you know uh I wanted a fountain pen and you know you wanted I think a compass and said a protractor protractor cuz you were doing a you were doing an exam from 1957 or whatever you're doing Mickey you said you wanted anyway by the way they came through for us I just like to thank uh I know this is amazing con down there yeah what he got you there's my protractor so I got the protractor not only there it is there what about the old Yeah no no not Not only that, he he delivered with the compass as well. So, this is an outstanding result. Thank you, Con. What did you get? Well, Con came through with my fountain, Ben. Have a look at that number right there. Beautiful from Parker, but also the big one. Refills as well. Oh, nice. Hey, I may not I may not I may not go home tonight. This is a big This is a cash for cartridges. You should write him a thank you note with that pen. Yeah. And I'll tell you what, I'll bust out a copy on my new printer. Yes. Thank you very much. Big big big thank you to the Ala stationers. Should have gone bigger, boys. Absolutely. That's I'm pretty happy with that. Tell you what, you know what channel 7 And it's got ink with it, too. Well, what channel 7 should do? I'm not a programmer, but if they in prime time 8:30 on Sunday night, if they just filmed you connecting that to a computer, I would I would watch those three hours. I'd watch go over time would go over time. Anyway, turn on stationers. Yeah, if you're out Nick of the Woods and you need some stationary, that is the place to go. Of course, round 13 matches. There's some absolute belters to kick this off tomorrow night. So, no Nick Watson, no James Sicily for Hawthorne. The red hot dogs off the buy. That is going to be a challenge for the Hawks. And then a fantastic game on Friday night. The Adelaide Crows. Good round. It is real test for the Crows. How good are they really? So there's a lot to look forward to. What happened? What happened to the Daraban? What happened at Dar, you know? No, we played Mont Morency who beat us in the grand final last year. We kicked 18 to 1-1 in the second half. Poor kicking. Bad kicking is bad football. Hit the post the fat bit five times. The girls, they were magnificent. Bad coaching. That's it. I don't believe that. The girls you're on thorough magnificent the girls. So well done. Keep going. Can I just say one thing to just want to turn a station right? I just don't want any just a message to all the other businesses out there. They're thinking that you know we're easy targets and all. We are not for sale. Okay. I just want to make that we are not for sale. Mari, what's up next? Time for the multi sports bet for sports bet. Uh get on it. This one cannot lose. Here we go. Uh, first up now, Sydney's onfield struggle this week were described as rabble and quite a big controversy, but no one's talking about the real rebel in the Sydney coaches box. Have a look. Now, there's Dean Cox. He's the coach. He needs to keep his sugar levels up. And let's go in. Dean's lolly jar is empty. How can a man coach with an empty lolly jar? It's a very good question. Is it the soft cap? Is that what been reduced to? Just the 1 percenters. They're not nailing them at the moment. By the way, I like to wager that is not a lolly jar. Where's it going? That is not a lolly jar. I will show you a lolly jar. [Applause] Yes, that's a lolly right there. Come and get one. Come and get up here, kid. Oh, you're taking eye out. Camera two, come and get it. Camera two. Well, there you go. All right. You can I just point out you're just throwing objects at people. Uh, you can't have it. Don't eat those. They came from Morwell. You can't have it. But, look at the size of my lolly jar. It's very impressive. It's a massive lolly jar. Is it picking up? That's big. That's a very big lolly jar. Yeah. What are you going to do with all the lollies? Eat them. Right. Okay. Right. What would you do? I'd probably I'd probably give a few away, but um you can't have it. So, how about you take Isaac? Don't eat those. Kick two or more against the against the tigs and you have a $1.95. I'll take that. Yep. I'll take that. Is that it? Is that it? No, I'm not. Someone's about to burst out of that while we go. That's a lot of lollies. Now you're worried. A lot of lollies. How'd you get them in there? I don't know. That's the first time I've seen it. I just told it arrived about half an hour ago. Jack's had a busy day. Jack's put that together. Jack's in it. Uh, all right. Uh, second leg. Incredible scenes down at Swan Street. Oh, this is great. Swan Street over the weekend. uh fans uh went nuts celebrating this massive sporting occasion. There it is. We got fireworks and flares and just general euphoria. Uh I'd like to wager that's actually Colton fans celebrating the buy this week. You can't have it. You can't have it. But I'll give you Tommy Done to get 20 or more against the Bombers. And he have a $160 for that. Which is the doning that he's leaving. Well, that's Tom. Yeah, it's it's done. Done and dusted. All right. Wish this multi was done and dusted. Third leg. Uh an amazing achievement down at the kennel this week. Uh as past player and past president Jim Miller celebrated, listen to this, his 106th birthday. Can you believe it? The 106th birthday. It's amazing. Yep. Oh, here we go. Ready? Here we go. Oh, no. I'd like to wager it must be great, Andy, watching your little brother celebrate his 106th birthday, mate. That's just you knew it was coming. Of course. Uh, you can't have it, but happy. I want you to see him blow the candles out. That would be an hour and a half. He'd never get back. How about you have Matthew Kennedy to kick two or more against the Hawks, and he can have $280 for that? I like it. Uh, odds are low, but I like where this is heading. Okay, let's boot this baby home. The church is always looking for different ways to appeal to the younger audience. We know this. Um, but I think these nuns from Brazil have gone a little too far. [Music] Oh go. [Music] Okay. I'd like to stop it. Click quickly. Stop it before the twerking begins. I to wager it's great to finally know what goes on in the conclave. Mount Eggna, you can't have it. By the way, after that, those those nuns were involved in a drive by shooting. Yeah. Busted a cap in a bishop's ass. That's what they did. Lolly, anyone? You can't have it. But how about you have a big day cost to get 30 or more against Melbourne on King's birthday. And you can have 225. What do you reckon? I'll take it. What do we got? Looks like 1965. If you like the look of that, jump onto the feed in the Sports Bet app, find and follow Mix Multi like millions of others. And of course, place your bet. The Last Shout is coming up next. What's gambling really costing you? For free and confidential support, call the number on the screen or visit the [Music] website. Welcome back to the show. Time for the last shout. And it's always a joy to have this champion of human being join us on this weekend. It's the culmination of so much. It's the culmination of so much work. There she is. Big D. It's been 11 years, sir. It's been 11 years. I know, but you know, it always it's always weird when I put these on cuz it looks like I'm about to knock over a bottle shop. You know what I mean? Hello. Welcome. Great to see you as always. Can you believe You just said it's the 11th year. Can you believe that it is the 11th year and the way this thing just continues to roll on? No. No. There's been so many moments when Mick decided to ignore all of our safety briefings. You one went down the slide head first and nearly finished it before we began. So that's it. Look at us now. Uh it's a wonderful origin. It's it's a great story. It gets bigger and bigger every year and it just takes over the entire town. So congratulations to you and all the work you do. It's really sense. Absolutely. these um the beanies are the symbol and there's there's a number of ways you can you can contribute. If you want to know more or uh join the fight, go to the website, scan the QR code. Uh there's a number of ways you can get involved, but the beanies are such a symbol of what it's about. The MCG on King's birthday is remarkable. When you look around and there's 70,000 of them amongst the 85 90,000 that turn up, it's it's an it's a truly truly remarkable scene. But we've got an addition. It's not just the actual boonie this year. There's a there's a digital boonie that's that's available out there. Changing things up. So, we've got a digital beanie this year. So, when you donate, you're able to jump online, put on your own personal personalization and get behind the cause. We're really gearing up this weekend to see how much we can fund raise because we know it all makes a difference. And so, here's a different way that you can be a part of it. You might not be able to be there at the NCG. There's Andy straight down the line. So, we'll personalize this for you. We've got one for Mick as well. Uh, Fly did try to convince me to do go pies, but we went with this. And this one came from dad for you, Sam. So, this is for This is from NO. New York. That's beautiful. That was your That was your nickname when you played. What you want to tell us? No. So, he's the old man's part of unfiltered tonight with Hamish after us. And I've heard a bit of it today. It is. It's breathtaking to be honest how the technology has given us Neil's voice back. It's it's quite remarkable. We ask you this question every year. How's how's the old boy going? Yeah. No, he's um an amazing human. Uh I think getting his voice back is just been so special. He's my kids are hearing pop for the very first time. Um you know, the beast is a beast and it's the first year dad won't be up on the slide with me and it gets me a little bit emotional. It's um another sort of milestone that changes, but he he's been at Melbourne, he's went to Collingwood, and every time he talks about he's talking about we're fighting back. You know, we play on, we don't let this stop us. So, he continues to inspire and I think hearing that in his own voice just makes it so much more powerful. Of course, you caught up with uh with Neil. Yeah. Did you say but you to drip train Neil was magnificent? What about the some of those answers? The castle was a surprise. Did you did you watch that together? No. You know, normally he's into a lot of violence like to the sopranos. I was surprised about the castle. Yeah, I know. Well, showing you a different side of him. I is great to hear his voice with that terminology. And uh as I didn't show this earlier, I thought I'd wait till you're out here, Beck. But I did ask Neil, it's part of drip tray, what was the most annoying thing about his daughter, Beck? Nothing. Uh she's my daughter. She can do no wrong. you trying to throw me under the bus there. Peggy, Neil, Neil, you are a liar. Two sliders still to be named. Uh, any hints? Oo, so halftime of the footy tomorrow. Um, we're very excited. This person has conquered uh areas that no other Australian has. And then on Friday, we've got another one. Uh, this is a definite speed demon. So, to come. But I'm just for people to feel honored every year to be tapped on the shoulder to go down a slide into two tons of ice. Annie got asked directly by dad when um in January and she was in tears with it. It's just something that's so special that people continue to rally and we've got some iconic Australians that will be getting involved and keep getting involved. Fantastic. Thank you for coming on. No one leaves empty-handed. Here's a printer from [Applause] station. That's it. Go home. There you go. Put it in the office down there at MND. And thank the alter station. Give the pen. Uh the pen. Give her the pen. No, the pen's mine. If you need if you need a protractor, we can give you a No one needs a protractor. No one needs actor. No one. Ben, you're a superstar.
