0:01 [Music]
0:15 Never been
0:19 more. How good. And again, you join us
0:23 on a really big night on a really
0:24 special weekend for footy and a special
0:26 weekend for everybody around here. Big
0:28 Freeze 11, fighting the M andd beast. Of
0:31 course, Beck Daner will be joining us a
0:33 little bit later on the show along with
0:34 one of the sliders who's going down on
0:36 King's birthday, Arian Tipman's going to
0:38 be joining us on
0:41 [Music]
0:43 and it's a special weekend for
0:45 Collingwood coach Craig McCrae who's
0:47 going to
0:49 be find out as to why it's such a
0:53 significant weekend for Craig McCra.
0:54 Lovely to be with you two BS. Uh there's
0:56 a fair bit going and speaking of
0:57 Collingwood. Great week. It's a great
0:59 night to have the coach. Well, big
1:01 bigger news than that. Bigger news than
1:03 that, mate. Coming down the pike,
1:04 Tasmania. This is piping hot. The
1:07 Tasmania the bid for the 19th team. It's
1:09 uh well, it's up for grabs at the
1:11 moment. Not a great day for the stadium.
1:14 Not a great day for the players and and
1:16 possibly an even worse day for their
1:18 mascot Ramen who was involved in a very
1:23 I'm just saying this is it's not looking
1:25 good. The Omens aren't great. It's
1:29 hanging on a press at the moment, but
1:31 hopefully it'll all work itself out. But
1:32 it is a great night to have the calling
1:34 coach on because they are they're
1:35 they're out of control. They are they're
1:37 crushing the opposition. Uh before they
1:39 even get on the ground though, their
1:41 captain is crushing. Well, even the guy
1:43 who wants to toss the coin get his hands
1:46 crushed. Have a look at this. This is
1:47 unbelievable. And
1:51 ow
1:53 they they mean
1:56 business right from the getgoing
1:59 trouble. They're sparing no one in the
2:01 moment. You're getting their way and
2:03 their form. It's a How much games are
2:05 they on top by? Uh two points but good
2:07 percentage. show. This is what the
2:09 apocalypse looks like. I'm sure
2:12 the way things are going and the way
2:13 they're traveling. Y if Putin wants to
2:16 start World War II, I'd be all for it.
2:17 Just just anytime before grand final
2:20 day, Mari. Jesus. If they if they look
2:22 like they're winning Yeah. in September,
2:24 I'm going to take a holiday to Mount
2:26 Etnner.
2:30 It's a volcano. It's exploding at the
2:32 moment.
2:34 General it blew up this week.
2:36 um all the old black
2:44 good boys. Is that what we're doing
2:46 tonight? We're going to explain all the
2:48 jokes. I just want to know now. All
2:49 right.
2:51 I've got some margin of what's on coming
2:52 up. All right. That seem to work for
2:54 Mick. Well, I tell you what, that's we
2:56 saw the handshake and the you know lead
2:57 from the front. I tell you what else is
2:59 um Jeremy How he's a general back there
3:01 now. had him miked up last week and uh
3:03 it was very revealing the way he
3:05 encouraged his teammates and uh if you
3:07 have a listen I just reckon they need to
3:09 get him a dog.
3:12 Yes, good
3:13 boy. Hold on. Good boy. Good boy.
3:19 Good boy.
3:21 Yes. Good boy.
3:24 [Applause]
3:26 You know when his teammate miss a
3:27 target, he hits them over the head with
3:29 a newspaper. You like that, don't you? I
3:32 saw him in the warm-up throwing Jamie
3:33 Ellen a tennis ball after the game in in
3:36 the rooms for the best players. He gives
3:38 him a tummy rub. Yes, you are.
3:40 You are. He does sound like he needs a
3:43 dog. Hey, big changes at the AFL. Major
3:45 restructuring in the footy ops
3:46 department. Head of football performance
3:48 has been added alongside Laura Kane.
3:50 Greg Swan, veteran AFL administrator.
3:52 Great call by the AFL. Get a club guy in
3:54 there. Feels like a really, really
3:56 important move and he's got a heap in
3:58 front of him. One of the things he's got
3:59 to um get his head around is is the
4:02 umpiring. There's some work to be done
4:03 in that I believe. So, whoever gets uh
4:06 that portfolio, this uh what has to be
4:09 addressed first and foremost with the
4:11 umpires is the whistle.
4:18 Oh, well, there's a soft cap affecting
4:20 the amount of peas you can put in a
4:22 whistle. Now, we haven't we haven't
4:25 touched that up. That is exactly how it
4:27 was. We went down. By the way, the AFL
4:30 has been re the AFL that's been
4:31 restructured like um I was restructured
4:34 out of some relationships by
4:35 ex-girlfriends. You know, I mean, it's
4:36 not it doesn't seem that uh Mount Edner.
4:44 Anyway, you lost confidence in you
4:47 bailed early on that didn't even get to
4:50 the He got subbed out about halfway
4:52 through that joke. I'm just glad they've
4:53 got I'm I'm just glad they've got uh
4:55 Greg Swan there. Do you know what I
4:56 mean? A breath of fresh air, a fire
4:57 brand, a kid. Just a bit of energy. How
5:00 old is he? 63. But no, he's a very good
5:03 operator, Swany. And that he's exactly
5:05 the sort of bike the AFL need in there.
5:07 He wants to connect with club land cuz
5:09 that seems to be one of the big issues.
5:10 That's his disconnect between. So I
5:12 reckon he should take a leaf out of the
5:13 former commissioner Jack Hamilton. If
5:15 you want the clubs to think that you're
5:17 on their side, have a look at have a
5:18 look the way he conducted business back
5:20 in the day. Here he is just after a
5:21 board meeting.
5:22 And this is him um just throwing his
5:26 full weights behind in you know support
5:29 behind the club. This is what this is
5:30 what he was doing. He just come out of a
5:32 board meeting. Remember I mention that
5:34 you did? Yeah. Do you reckon he knows
5:36 the cameras are on? What are you going
5:38 to do? Oh, he's good. That's strong.
5:41 That's No. Well, he's a great connector
5:43 and a great man, Jack Hamilton. So,
5:44 let's hope that Greg Swan has a similar
5:47 connection to the clubs like you
5:48 mentioned. It's a very stupid move on.
5:50 Very good point of view, mate. Hey to
5:52 you, Abby Holmes, who's a great member
5:54 of the Channel 7 footy family. Abs
5:57 pregnant. She's left her boundary
5:58 writing duties for the time being to go
6:01 and deliver her first child. They're
6:02 emotional scenes. Look at Rich like he
6:04 paid for them himself.
6:08 That's the look of a bloke who's swung
6:09 by the cemetery on the way to
6:13 She's a great I'm telling you right now.
6:15 Now it opens up the the whole who's
6:16 going to She's very very good. So very
6:19 question is who's going to replace it?
6:20 Who's going to replace it? Do you know?
6:22 I don't. No. Channel 7 haven't come. No.
6:25 No. That was some some fresh blood. No.
6:27 I've had Who would you consider? Well,
6:29 there's so many options. Young man, as a
6:30 possible replacement for Abby Holmes, by
6:32 the way, some with experience. Talking
6:33 about current uh coach of the Western
6:35 Bulldogs, Luke Beverage. He had a go
6:37 back in 1997. He did. And we can welcome
6:40 Luke Beverage, who's joined us on the
6:42 boundary, and he'll be there all
6:43 afternoon. Good day, Drew. How you
6:45 going?
6:51 You got to put him in the mix. I'm lucky
6:53 he's a good coach. What about the
6:55 current Hawthorne president, Andy Gaus?
6:58 He had had a go back in the day in 97.
7:00 And have a listen to him try and keep
7:02 the conversation flowing with Sandy
7:04 Roberts. Down to the boundary line. Andy
7:07 G. Andy. Sandy. How are you? I'm very
7:09 well, thank you.
7:12 That's it.
7:15 Electric. You have more to say, Sam. And
7:17 when you come down the boundary, you
7:18 want some information. Like it's thought
7:20 he was on FaceTime then. He didn't seem
7:22 to know what he was doing. Mike's
7:23 hamstring. Is it an ankle or what? We
7:25 need some information from someone.
7:27 Sounds like someone's auditioning for
7:28 it. M. Settle down. You got enough jobs,
7:31 mate. Um anyway, whoever they go for,
7:34 here's a piece of advice. You got to
7:35 come up with some original ideas. You
7:37 know what I mean? You've got to be
7:38 you've got to have original thoughts.
7:39 You have strong opinions. You can't
7:41 Anyway, that is something that the great
7:43 Bernie Quinnland, of course, he
7:45 struggled with it slightly.
7:48 Well, we were down in the Eagles and the
7:49 Melbourne rooms earlier. In the Eagles
7:51 rooms, it was almost like a picnic. I
7:53 was very surprised at the casual
7:54 atmosphere in the rooms. The uh actually
7:57 it was almost like a pic picnic
7:58 atmosphere, wasn't it? With the rest,
8:03 it's no picnic on the boundary. Picnic
8:06 up here tonight. That was Dixie. That
8:08 was Dixie Marshall. Superstar. Okay.
8:11 Trailblazer back in the day. We must get
8:13 her on. We It would be great to get her
8:14 on. We'll have a picnic.
8:17 I bet some terrible news uh for Kellen
8:20 Ward and Greater Western Sydney. Of
8:22 course, this bike is a warrior. Much
8:23 loved by teammates, respected by
8:25 everybody in the competition early in
8:27 the game against Richmond. The knee went
8:29 with feared that it was the worst and
8:31 confirmed a couple of days later that
8:33 it's his second ACL on the leg that
8:35 hadn't been damaged before. You can see
8:37 how much he means to his teammates. Came
8:39 out to the group at 3/4 time on
8:41 crutches. Of course, never a good sign.
8:43 Uh he addressed the group, got him
8:45 across the line. Inspirational words,
8:48 but is that I don't know, Sam, is that
8:50 some of the best work you've seen on
8:52 crutches? It was undoubtedly courageous
8:54 and very inspirational for him to come
8:56 out of crutches, by the way. But the way
8:57 he just ambled out uh like it just
9:00 didn't do it for me. He's just had a
9:01 knee. Well, not when you compare it to
9:03 the way Ron Barasi marched out there in
9:04 1976. Have a look at him.
9:08 Real intent. He's on a mission. There's
9:10 a sense of urgency, by the
9:12 You know, he's obviously got something
9:14 to say. And by the way, does he let
9:17 whoever it is? Jeez, they cop it. Bang.
9:21 Mate, here's an idea. Move the huddle
9:23 closer to the boundary. You just move it
9:25 closer to the boundary. They make him go
9:27 all that way. Three quarter time. He
9:29 came out on a motorized scooter. You
9:31 know what I mean? It's not the best
9:33 crutch work for me. That goes to
9:34 Plugger. Tony Lockett back at the Mercy
9:37 Hotel took Umbrage. Oh, bang. Right on.
9:40 Right on. And here's the second one.
9:44 Oh, forget forget the machete band. Get
9:46 the crutches band. People were very
9:48 upset of that till they realized he was
9:50 throwing it at Eddie Maguire and then it
9:53 kind of tempered it just in. Speaking of
9:55 Kellum Ward, of course, back into his
9:57 second M Rico as we mentioned in 2019.
10:00 He did it early in this game against
10:01 Jalong. Came back to play 110 more games
10:03 to G. A lot of people were saying at the
10:06 time he's 35 years of age now that this
10:08 might have been it for Cal Ward. It
10:10 might have been a bridge too far to come
10:11 back. You could see how devastated he
10:13 was when the news came through that it
10:15 was likely to be. Absolutely. Hopefully
10:16 hopefully he recovers from this one as
10:18 well. You never know. Yep. So, but back
10:20 then in 2019 that was uh just tough to
10:22 watch. It was. And uh I'll always
10:24 remember that because um I remember at
10:26 the time special comment as man Dermit
10:29 Breton. He captured the emotion. He
10:31 captured the power of the moment uh
10:33 beautifully with words that I I'll never
10:35 forget. Now I will say this. I think the
10:38 power of Dermy's words may have been
10:40 slightly offset by the fact that it
10:43 happened during Fox footy's Game of
10:45 Thrones round. This is the devastating
10:48 side of football. That's a captain of a
10:51 league club head in hands and you just
10:54 absolutely forgive him for that. I mean
10:56 there's no Shannon crying. You see a man
10:58 whose livelihood not what he loves doing
11:02 is taken away from him for a year
11:04 another year now.
11:08 I'm just I'm just glad it wasn't
11:09 Bridgetton round. You know what I mean?
11:12 Would have been full package going on.
11:15 We we can speak with experience from
11:18 well to underline the dangers attached
11:20 to having a theme round. It happened to
11:22 us too back in 1999 when we had our
11:25 Harry Potter round and uh I'm just going
11:28 to say that one got away from us a bit.
11:31 And massive news just in as we go to air
11:33 tonight on the front out of the Richmond
11:35 Football Club. Sensationally, their
11:36 senior coach Jeff Gishan has been
11:38 sacked. This is incredible. This is an
11:41 own goal with the Richmond Football
11:42 Club. I've never seen anything like it.
11:43 I can't believe it. Why would you get
11:44 rid of a bloke who has a winning
11:46 percentage of over 50%. Mark my words,
11:49 Jeff Gishon will coach
11:51 again. Is it supposed to be Hermione?
11:55 Expect us Patron.
12:01 It could have happened anyway. It
12:08 just a long time ago, but that is the
12:10 oldest looking Harry Potter I've ever
12:12 seen. That's Harry Potter with a comb
12:14 over Harry Potter. Harry Potter not
12:17 supposed to be older than Dumbledore.
12:19 Harry Potter needs his prostate.
12:22 What do you think that thing was for?
12:26 Patronus expect.
12:29 We're going to get a break out of the
12:30 way. Do it. No. Do it with it. Do it.
12:32 No, I'm not. Olympic champion, big free
12:35 slider coming up on the other side of
12:37 the lake. Arian Tmas joining us. I can't
12:41 do it.
12:42 [Applause]
12:46 [Music]
12:48 [Applause]
12:52 [Music]
13:03 garden hotel. You used to um spend a bit
13:06 of time here in the day, didn't you? The
13:07 old gardening the Han flows freely down
13:10 there. Of course, Han could get involved
13:13 with the program via the social media
13:15 platforms. They're many and varied and
13:17 they have been running hot. It's often a
13:18 bit of a hot bid for uh for um
13:21 unhappiness social media, but not this
13:23 week with the news that Sam Pang is back
13:25 hosting the Loies for the third time
13:27 here.
13:30 Thank you. Wonderful. Very nice of you.
13:31 It's in very very safe hands again,
13:33 Pangy. So, well done you. Feels longer.
13:36 It feels feels like it's been going on a
13:38 lot longer than that. Big thank you to
13:40 Channel 7 for having me back. You know,
13:41 obviously uh after you to uh take your
13:44 cut, there's not much money left. So, I
13:46 really I really appreciate. It's going
13:47 to be fantastic. And I'll tell you who
13:48 was more happy than anyone to hear this
13:51 news. Little Pangy.
13:55 [Music]
13:56 Yes.
13:58 Yes. Come
14:00 [Music]
14:04 on. How good is that? That's how you
14:08 should open the lo. Oh, that's a great
14:10 idea. Come out. We play the music and
14:13 you just give it a bit of Come
14:15 on. Come on. You know, could you do it
14:18 next? Well, that's not how you do it.
14:19 How do you do it then? Come on. Can you
14:22 start the music again?
14:25 I need to start music.
14:29 [Applause]
14:31 [Music]
14:36 Anyway, I don't know what you're I don't
14:37 know what you're laughing at probably
14:38 made your iPhone, by the way, that
14:41 just be happy, you know, that he's still
14:43 going and everything's gone. Not in
14:45 front of our special guest. No, no. In
14:47 fact, our special guest is waiting to
14:48 join us. Big freeze 11. We're back at
14:50 the MCG for one of the really special
14:52 days. King's birthday. Of course, the
14:54 big slide. Uh the big freeze, I should
14:56 say. The sliders are being announced.
14:57 And one joins us tonight. Fourtime
15:00 Olympic gold medalist, six time gold
15:02 medalist, and world champions. One of
15:03 Australia's greatest ever Olympians. And
15:06 that is saying something. Greatest
15:07 sports person in this country right now.
15:09 Possibly. So, tell me otherwise. Please
15:11 make a welcome Arian Tipas. Everybody,
15:17 [Applause]
15:20 [Music]
15:22 welcome aboard. This is great. Thank
15:24 you. We're so excited to see you go
15:26 down. We're going to be talking about
15:27 this in a moment, but we need to check
15:29 your bonafideies. Like you, this is a
15:31 big footy day, of course. Uh you're born
15:33 in Tazzay. You live in Brisbane, but but
15:35 there but you're um but you're a big
15:38 Hawthorne supporter and you become an
15:39 ambassador for the footy club this year.
15:41 Yeah. Uh, I remember when Ash asked me
15:43 and he said, "Honey, you know, a bit of
15:46 a I got to tell you something." He said,
15:47 "Will you be the ambassador for the club
15:49 and uh, I love the Hawks. I grew up with
15:51 Hawthorne." I was telling Mick this
15:53 morning on radio, I got corrupted when
15:55 they came to Tazzy and as a 5-year-old,
15:57 I switched from Richmond. Uh,
16:00 and uh,
16:03 and why did you switch? Tell us what
16:05 tell us why that Well, when they did the
16:06 deal with the Tazzy government, um they
16:08 used to come down and after the game in
16:11 Lonnie, they would sometimes at the town
16:12 hall have every player lined up and
16:14 you'd be able to go and get your stuff
16:15 signed by every player and I just as a
16:18 little kid like that's your biggest
16:19 dream. So, and everyone in school went
16:21 for Hawthorne. It was just on footy
16:22 colors day everyone was in Hawks and so
16:24 then I changed. So, so see how important
16:26 football is to Tasmanians down there.
16:28 You eggheheads in government. Build the
16:31 stupid stadium. So, I mean I mean you
16:33 travel the world. You travel the world
16:35 and perform on the biggest stages
16:36 against international superstars, but
16:39 how much of a thrill is it to be able to
16:41 go inside the Hawthorne Footy Club and
16:43 and be part of the place? Oh, it's
16:45 amazing. Um, it's a my my dream as a
16:47 little girl. I still get nervous
16:49 sometimes walking around the players and
16:50 I'm like, they're just like me. Like,
16:52 it's like it's totally it's amazing. And
16:54 and Ash and everyone at the club, it's
16:56 got an incredible culture. Even I took
16:58 mom, she's a massive Richmond supporter.
17:00 I took her uh Gee whiz.
17:05 I've been stalking the family for some
17:07 time now. I took her and she said to me,
17:10 "Wow, it's an amazing club." So maybe
17:12 I'll bring her over to Hawks, too. But
17:14 all right, let's have a look at the
17:15 slide as you there's still two to go. So
17:17 this is a fantastic I mean, look at the
17:19 lineup there. Such an honor to be part
17:21 of this and people never say no when
17:23 they're asked and it's a brilliant line.
17:25 So So how were you asked? There's two
17:27 more we're waiting for. So, we'll find
17:28 out in the coming days, but how did how
17:31 did it come to pass that you were asked?
17:33 Pretty special story. Uh, obviously Neil
17:35 is the Australian of the Year and I was
17:37 there at the awards as a nominee as
17:39 well. And so, we were just lined up to
17:41 get head shot the day before the awards
17:42 and I spotted Neil with his family. And
17:44 so, I turned around to say hello and
17:46 basically say, "What you do is amazing."
17:48 And then, uh, Beck and him went on to
17:50 ask me to be a slider. And, uh, it was
17:52 an unreal moment. And I actually got
17:53 really emotional because I don't know
17:55 just being around all these incredible
17:57 people at the Australian of the Year
17:59 Awards and being asked and then being
18:01 told you have to keep it a secret for 6
18:03 months. Uh very very very special but
18:05 absolutely not even a decision. I 100%
18:07 wanted to be a part of it. So great.
18:09 It's so great. So that's where you go if
18:10 you want to contribute. It's obviously
18:12 about raising funds to fight the beast.
18:14 They are doing a super job job. The blue
18:16 army fightmd.org.au Are you and when you
18:18 come down the slide,
18:21 get into the pool and do a tumble turn.
18:26 See, see if you can post a PB. Yeah,
18:30 quick turn time. How do you go? Do you
18:32 know Do you know if it's a fast pool?
18:35 You should find these things. How do you
18:37 go in the icy stuff? Are you any good in
18:39 the frozen water? Tazzy girl. Yeah,
18:40 Tazzy girl. But I don't do ice baths too
18:43 often. And it's also a lot colder. I
18:45 think it's like - 4. I think it's - 4.
18:47 So, it's going to be chilly. And the
18:49 weather here is horrendous. And so, when
18:51 we come out and we're in that that
18:53 breeze, it's going to be a bit chilly.
18:55 So, the theme this year is iconic
18:56 Australians. Everyone has to come
18:58 dressed as an iconic Australian. Have
19:00 you worked out your character? Who
19:01 you're coming down as? I have. I have.
19:03 Can I throw a couple at you? Yeah.
19:05 Chappelle
19:08 Corby with
19:10 with a boogie
19:12 board. Come down with a boogie board.
19:16 Um, I don't cocaine
19:20 Cassie I'm making the mushroom lady
19:23 island
19:26 just dropping them out there. You don't
19:27 have to go with any ray gun.
19:32 That's an idea. Matt Matt Shington's
19:33 going down as far and
19:38 and which I have a massive problem with
19:42 because far of course was from New
19:44 Zealand bar. Of course, mate. Doesn't
19:46 actually work. So, you you'll unveil
19:48 your character on the day. It'll be fun.
19:50 I can't wait. Look, just a word of, you
19:53 know, advice for whatever. But but less
19:55 can be more. You don't have to overdo
19:56 it. I mean, Mick Mick was one of the
19:58 originals. He he went down the You know,
19:59 Mick went down.
20:02 Have a look at that. That was that was
20:04 me getting ready for the enhanced games.
20:07 What was the what was the mentality
20:09 going down on your stomach? Yeah. He had
20:11 a theme. He had a theme around it was
20:13 hello girls, dinner's
20:15 gone. No, there's there was a fair bit
20:17 of water displacement that day. I've got
20:19 to say, what did you what what serious
20:21 question, what were what did you go down
20:24 as? Yeah. Well, there was no I was the
20:26 first one to wear costume. No one no one
20:27 wore costumes and I said cuz I was going
20:30 last. I said, could I dress up? So, I
20:32 thought go down as a stripper. Is that
20:35 what you said? No. I had a cape on and
20:38 some booties and I almost look like a
20:41 tumble. Thank you very much. I'm I'm
20:44 stripping down for LA. I'm hoping to
20:45 make it. Are you going to be in LA? I
20:47 will be in LA. You will be in LA. We've
20:49 got to see you in LA.
20:52 2029. The the Olympics. Sorry.
20:55 [Laughter]
20:57 And I'm taking it one week at a time
20:58 over here. I don't look that far ahead.
21:00 Any chance you can stretch it out to
21:01 2032 or is that just ridiculous to even
21:04 contemplate? Never. I mean, never say
21:06 never, but I'll be 32. That's ancient in
21:08 swimming world. Around. I can say never
21:10 right now.
21:15 No. No chance at all. Just enjoy 2028.
21:20 Of course, we're doing it for the
21:21 inspiration that is
21:24 what the inspiration that is Neil
21:25 Danaher, the family and uh and the
21:27 volunteers around the Danah. You've had
21:30 a very special week. They have been
21:31 great. Well, I know we won't keep you
21:32 long. Yeah, I know. You started this
21:33 morning with Breakfast Radio with Mix.
21:35 So, you've had a long day. Um, but
21:38 Arian, as you know, the weekend's all
21:40 about Neil and genuine friend of the
21:42 show. Genuine. Yep. And, uh, he's been
21:45 on the show many times. So, we thought
21:46 I'd try a a drip tray with a difference,
21:50 right? So, I sent Neil some questions
21:52 and I don't know the answers, but he was
21:54 good enough to answer
21:57 them. I'm just saying. Let's get into
21:59 it. All right. No worries. Here. So the
22:01 first question was that I submitted to
22:03 him was favorite movie. Neil
22:06 the castle an Australian classic movie
22:10 Castle 81 minutes and that felt long.
22:14 Um
22:16 I haven't by the way we haven't seen we
22:17 haven't we don't know what he's we
22:20 favorite television show. The Sopranos
22:23 love a good gangster show. Yeah it's a
22:26 good show.
22:27 A bit scary that one. It's a classic.
22:29 I'm scared. Do you ever watch these the
22:31 Sopranos around? No, I haven't. You
22:33 should do it. It's great.
22:39 All right, we'll keep moving. Favorite
22:40 food meal. Oh, here we go. Pork,
22:43 especially Cooh's fresh pork where where
22:46 10 cents from every purchase of Cooh's
22:49 Australian pork products goes to support
22:52 the charity. That is
22:54 outstanding. Wow, that is the best
22:58 old
22:59 headband in a plug. It's unbelievable.
23:02 Brilliant. Uh oh, a couple more to
23:04 finish. Toughest opponent,
23:06 Malcolm B.
23:09 I would have thought M and D, but there
23:11 you go. That's just me. Uh I've said
23:14 that to Neil many times anyway. But
23:16 Blighty would have been a except Malcolm
23:18 BL. All right. Uh favorite Dan, her
23:20 brother, Anthony, Chris, or Terry?
23:23 Neither. I would go with the sisters
23:26 weight of numbers as there seven of
23:28 them. That's true. And you know the big
23:31 finish. The big finish of course.
23:32 Favorite color?
23:35 The blue on our big freeze beanie. Nice
23:38 work.
23:42 Amazing man and continues to be an
23:45 inspiration for millions of people.
23:47 Arian, thanks for coming on. We really
23:48 appreciate it. We can't wait to see what
23:50 uh what you pick up on on Monday and we
23:52 can't wait for LA. I know it feels like
23:54 a long time away, but you'll be uh
23:56 starting to prepare for that uh in
23:58 earnest in no time at all. So, thanks
24:00 for coming on and good luck with
24:01 everything in front of you and enjoy
24:02 Monday.
24:04 Carry on. It's our very special guest on
24:06 the other side of the boat, Callingwood,
24:08 coach, Craig McCra, to join us next.
24:11 [Music]
24:19 It is big freeze at the MCG today. Here
24:23 we go. And it is very cold. Go. Fully
24:28 submerged. In she goes. Ready to jump
24:32 in. Here we go. Down the slide. The pool
24:35 has been emptied. Away we go. And a
24:39 sensational entry.
24:41 Oh, away he goes. Absolutely
24:45 magnificent.
24:46 [Applause]
24:49 [Music]
24:53 Welcome back to the show. It is the
24:54 front bar. We're here for Han. How good.
24:57 A great friend of the program joins us
24:59 next. A humble champion. It's part of
25:01 our powerhouse Brisbane Lions team many,
25:03 many years ago. Now a premiership coach
25:06 at Collingwood. This is a very special
25:08 weekend for him for a number of reasons.
25:09 Please make him welcome Craig McCrae.
25:12 Everybody,
25:18 hey,
25:20 strong lose that. I know. It's just
25:23 that's what happens with calling. But
25:24 strong, very strong Flanny gun again for
25:27 Yeah, my wife picked this one out. Um,
25:29 congratulations on the you you pretty
25:31 much won the flag. Oh, not yet.
25:34 Congratulations. So, you're telling us
25:36 off air that you think it's yours to
25:38 yours to lose it. You said you wouldn't
25:40 come on until you were home and hosed.
25:42 So, here here we are. I think I think
25:45 the phrase undefeated for the rest of
25:46 the season came out. Couldn't be more
25:49 confident. You're ne you're never
25:51 satisfied obviously until the job's
25:53 done, but halfway through the season, he
25:56 just did refuse to answer any of any of
25:58 that whatsoever. I was hoping silence
26:00 was just
26:02 you're pretty well. I mean, you must be
26:03 delighted the way this the squad such a
26:06 squad mentality you've got. The way the
26:07 squad's getting fantastic. Yeah, last
26:09 last year we clearly didn't want didn't
26:11 uh you know finish the year as much as
26:12 we wanted to and didn't make the finals.
26:14 So, it gives you a head start on some of
26:16 the opposition, but um yeah, we've had
26:18 this sort of next man up mentality and
26:20 and you know, today's been very good for
26:22 us and but we're well aware there's a
26:24 long way to go, Mick. And uh yeah, this
26:26 this week's game in particular is is a
26:28 big one, but we got our eyes set on this
26:29 one. No, we'll get we'll get to that.
26:31 It's a significant one for you in a
26:33 moment of course, but do does your mind
26:35 I know you're looking forward, but does
26:36 your mind go back to the reaction of the
26:38 opening round game and some of the
26:39 criticism that game was I mean it was it
26:42 was it was so over the top felt like the
26:45 press to go off halfcock like old has
26:47 been I mean Nick Dayos was getting
26:49 called unprofessional. I mean some of
26:51 the reaction to that game did it did it
26:54 was it ammunition for you? Uh we didn't
26:56 we didn't address it to be honest but um
26:59 it looks pretty ordinary now does it?
27:02 No I I think it's it's probably natural
27:04 course of of one Collingwood but when
27:06 there was only two games in that round
27:07 too that and there's now there's a
27:08 thousand shows on TV. They got to report
27:11 on something. Um a little bit a little
27:13 bit rea. Yep. Yep. Well uh it is is the
27:17 oldest list in the It is. cities, but
27:19 you know, the experience is a is a is a
27:22 is a it's a factor. The Craig McCrae
27:24 rates very very high. I didn't expect
27:26 you to, you know, aging list is fine.
27:28 Like this show, by the way, but um
27:31 aging list. I thought I I thought you
27:32 were in here to recruit Andy in the mid
27:35 in the mid-season draft. I'm I'm I'm
27:38 there for you if you need me. I gave you
27:39 a call. No, that's right. Uh it's a it's
27:41 it's an aging list, but look how well
27:43 it's going. and um Vision from training
27:45 uh this week. Um I just want to say Ste
27:48 still side bottom and Jeremy How are
27:49 looking magnificent and Scott Prenlebury
27:52 here looks like he could play forever I
27:54 reckon. Um
27:56 is
27:59 that a genuine question did you do you
28:02 care about the age of your list at the
28:04 start of the season? It's hard to get a
28:05 car park at the club.
28:08 It's uh now Pendle's a bit sore there.
28:10 He's light lot light lot light lot light
28:11 lot light lot light lot light lot light
28:11 lot light lot light lot light duties
28:11 early in the way to keep him off his
28:13 legs you don't care about who it doesn't
28:14 matter no I think I think that's one
28:16 thing that um you know we we do really
28:18 well at the moment is not to put
28:19 ceilings on things and um these guys in
28:21 particular are showing that they're
28:22 ageless in the way they're approaching
28:24 and and what what you don't see is what
28:26 these guys are doing for our younger
28:27 players you know the ability to have
28:28 Pendles you know Ed Allen is you know
28:31 and Nick do are guys that are getting
28:32 mentored by these guys daily and showing
28:35 them how to do it um no age at the
28:37 moment it's become your signature now
28:40 the how you react with your players and
28:42 communicate with your players on game
28:44 day down on the bench. I mean, you
28:45 started the first couple of weeks of
28:47 your senior career up in the box before
28:49 you headed down. Why did you why did you
28:51 make the move? I think I lost one game.
28:54 I just it it just I found it really
28:56 confining and and your communication is
28:59 mixed like you can't get messages across
29:01 across quickly and and uh and I like to
29:04 carry on like a pork chop and uh um
29:07 yeah. Do you think they feed off you?
29:09 That was halftime, by the way.
29:17 Do you hear they feed off? I mean, is it
29:19 a It's a mutual thing. You feel like
29:20 you've kind of feed off one another a
29:22 bit? Uh, somewhat. I I I try to stay
29:25 relaxed, but there's opportunities like
29:26 that. Big games away from Melbourne,
29:29 which we don't do too often. Don't
29:31 travel too far. It might come up. It
29:33 might come up. Um, no, I I do like to
29:35 invest in in trying to stay positive in
29:38 in what we're doing. Every now and
29:40 again, you get ahead of yourself with
29:41 the with the emotion. Um, but you can
29:43 communicate really well and you get a
29:44 read of what the players are doing. And
29:45 I heard Sam Mitchell say something
29:47 similar this week. You actually get a
29:49 greater feel of what's going on in the
29:50 game. Quite often you can come down to
29:52 halftime a little bit sort of up upbeat
29:54 and and think the group's needing a bit
29:56 of rev, but they're actually the
29:57 complete opposite. So, um, yeah,
29:59 communication is probably the main
30:00 thing. We're seeing a lot more of it
30:02 these days. And sometimes you see two
30:03 coaches coaching from the boundary line
30:05 and occasionally you see a bit of
30:06 interaction between the two. Here you
30:08 are with Kingsley, you're getting into
30:09 GWS and then Kingsley goes, "Hang on,
30:12 pipe down. Why don't you take a seat?"
30:14 And yet you
30:17 do pretty quickly. Now I I should point
30:20 out you guys are are friends. Uh you
30:23 were together
30:24 at Richmond. What was said there? Uh I I
30:27 I am quite cheeky and uh and I like to
30:30 be cheeky. This job doesn't allow you to
30:31 be as cheeky as you want to be at times,
30:32 but I was being a bit cheeky and I Yeah,
30:34 Laura rang me on the on the Sunday said,
30:36 "Craig, can you come to the principal's
30:37 office? We we need to talk about it."
30:39 But I was just being cheeky about a few
30:41 things. And then when I saw King's Arms,
30:43 I thought I might go back to
30:46 That's a good call. 2023 was magnificent
30:49 after a stunning 2022. You so got so
30:51 close to making the grand final in your
30:53 first year. I don't know whether you've
30:56 reflected on this at all, but you know
30:57 what it feels like to do it as a player.
30:59 Now you've done it as a coach and we
31:00 haven't had you on the show, you know,
31:01 since this. Is there any similarity in
31:05 terms of the satisfaction you feel? Uh,
31:08 I'd like to say we are different. We are
31:10 and and it's personnel based um and
31:12 method based. We are different. Um yeah,
31:15 there's some similarities in the way
31:16 that we we're playing, but No, but you
31:18 do you what do you take out of a
31:20 premiership as a player versus a
31:22 premiership as a coach? Um well I know I
31:24 know personally once we won that game
31:26 that life changed a lot for for me and
31:28 my family like um I was very much a
31:30 shadow guy in my lifetime and I didn't
31:32 mind living in the shadows but that
31:33 certainly changed you know going to uh
31:36 you know going out in public was was
31:37 different but it what I did love was the
31:39 emotion from Colwood supporters and and
31:41 and what it meant to so many and and I
31:43 heard some incredible stories post the
31:46 grand final around what it meant for
31:47 their family and and members and and how
31:50 how much they celebrate and what it
31:51 meant to them and And as a coach, you
31:53 get to live that. As a player, not so
31:55 much. And you're so invested in in so
31:57 many others, you know, the boards and
31:58 and supporter base and and the like. So,
32:01 um, completely different feeling, to be
32:02 honest. I mean, a mad day. You you got
32:05 as much sleep as you possibly could, but
32:07 Gabrielle was having a baby. Maggie was
32:09 arriving and she arrived at about 7:00
32:11 that morning. I mean, when you think
32:13 about that as part of that day, where do
32:16 you go? That's why it's different. It's
32:18 pretty hard to sort of do that again.
32:20 Yes. Yes, it is.
32:24 Can I Can I say something? That was a
32:26 great day for you and the club. The only
32:28 thing that would have made it better if
32:29 Peter do turned out to be the father.
32:33 [Laughter]
32:36 You don't you don't have to answer that.
32:37 No, I'm going to. Um, it was incredible
32:40 day and and and little Maggie's a little
32:42 rockstar. She's 20 months old now.
32:43 Taking to the VFL and everyone wants to
32:44 get a photo with her and um No, it's
32:47 incredible day. And my wife was
32:48 unbelievable and um yeah sort of she
32:51 should have won the north medal really
32:53 and but to to go through that emotion
32:55 there was the joy of it all and then to
32:57 celebrate with the with the with the win
32:58 was yeah like nothing else. So speaking
33:00 of the dayes you've got a player who
33:02 some people are suggesting if he keeps
33:04 going on the trajectory
33:06 who you might challenge for the greatest
33:07 of all time status I don't expect you to
33:10 answer that necessarily but how do you
33:12 go about coaching this kid? Um well I'd
33:15 like to um think that just let Nick be
33:17 himself to be honest. We communicate
33:19 regularly about parts of the game and
33:21 let him express himself. Um he he's an
33:24 exceptional preparer and and for the
33:26 young listeners out there the best
33:28 trainers are the best players and he
33:30 he's he leads the way in that. Um his
33:32 talent is off the charts and um his
33:34 leadership's really gone to a new level
33:36 this year coming to the leadership
33:37 group. But have a look at this goal. Not
33:38 many in the competition can do this.
33:40 It's amazing. Yeah. You ever kick a goal
33:41 like that, mate? No. No chance.
33:44 That's not true. No, not many can. But I
33:46 celebrated that one.
33:48 Yeah, there's some making a doo is a
33:50 magical m, you know, there's some
33:52 wonderful footage in 20122 that I can't
33:54 believe that's when Nick Dos made his
33:56 deboo, but of you announcing to Nick and
33:58 Patrick Leinsky that they're about to
34:01 make their deboo and have a look at if
34:04 you haven't seen it and just try to work
34:05 out who Craig McCrae's favorite is.
34:09 It gives me great pleasure to announce
34:11 that these two guys are going to
34:12 represent the footy club for the first
34:13 time.
34:16 Knowing you for a short time, but the
34:18 way that you just continue to tip in,
34:19 you're a great person around the place.
34:21 You're a great energy, great leader,
34:23 role model for our younger players. I
34:24 think you know, not only your football
34:26 ability, but we have got a real asset in
34:27 the person you are. I'm great to have
34:29 you in that footy environment, mate. And
34:30 we wish you all the best for what come.
34:32 Um, and Patty, have you met a nicer
34:34 bloke?
34:42 I was getting the wind up from the
34:44 Is that what you tell him when you drag
34:46 him? Would you like to address it down
34:48 the barrel? Say something nice to
34:50 Patrick Leinsky. Something you really
34:52 You are the nicest bloke ever. Don't
34:55 [ __ ] him down. No, that'll do. Yeah. We
34:58 We mentioned uh Nick Dayos, but brother
35:00 Josh is not a bad player either, by the
35:02 way. Hall Australian, best and fairest.
35:04 And you underlined that point when you
35:06 were celebrating his 100th game and you
35:08 were talking about him in the rooms
35:10 after the game. Pretty good 100 games
35:12 for Josh Dos. Yeah, I said to him before
35:15 the game he's eligible for father son
35:16 now. Let's get
35:20 busier. I I mean that I don't go after
35:24 after a game. Do you get him eating
35:28 oysters to get going? No, I don't
35:30 understand.
35:31 Uh let's put him
35:34 There's plenty more to talk to Craig
35:35 McCra about which we'll do on the other
35:37 side of this
35:41 [Music]
35:47 [Applause]
35:49 song after the game. King's birthday
35:52 last year. Craig McCrae, our special
35:54 guest. Craig, why was this such a
35:56 significant day for you and your family?
35:58 Uh that's Pat there. Pat Russell. He's
36:00 my brother-in-law, my wife's brother. um
36:02 unfortunately got diagnosed with MMD um
36:06 two years ago to this week and um we we
36:09 had him in the rooms uh after the game
36:11 and get him in the song to sing a song
36:12 with us. So um he was in the box for the
36:14 day and and then at the club too. So um
36:16 we wanted to celebrate him. Beautiful.
36:18 So to see Patty going through that and
36:21 you know the the the the trauma of it
36:23 all, does it make you double down on
36:25 wanting to be you know part of the push
36:27 to encourage people to do what they can?
36:29 Yeah, absolutely. And um you know this
36:31 cause is is an incredible one. We had
36:33 Neil Danaher down the club today and and
36:35 you saw him before the the remarkable
36:36 technology he's got now to gave us
36:39 incredible speech and um yeah we're all
36:42 here here it is now. We were all there
36:43 and there's Pat. He spoke of his journey
36:46 and his struggles. He's got two young
36:47 kids. Um just a normal country bloke
36:50 from Bendigo and uh it's unfortunate
36:52 that he's been diagnosed with the
36:54 disease. You said two years ago and
36:56 how's he traveling? Yeah, like like he's
36:58 actually in the audience tonight.
37:01 Hi, Patty.
37:13 Um, it's he's he loves a beer and uh we
37:15 look look forward to going back. Come to
37:17 the right place, Patty.
37:19 See you after the show. It's it's it's
37:21 the the more that people like you can do
37:23 to lend your um weight to causes like
37:26 this, the the better it is for those who
37:28 are trying to make a breakthrough and
37:30 help future generations. And Patty's got
37:32 the battle on his hands. That's right.
37:33 And um Neil said that today too and so
37:35 did Pat around, you know, the cure not
37:37 might not be there now, but the work
37:39 that's being done, the incredible work
37:40 that's been done over now 11 years,
37:42 we're hoping there's a cure for the
37:43 future. I've never seen anyone get
37:45 behind a community get behind something
37:47 like over here. If you look at our crowd
37:49 now, there's so many beanies in the
37:51 audience that they've just come on their
37:52 own. For you to be part of that King's
37:54 birthday Monday, 100,000 people turn up.
37:57 Generally, they're all in the spirit
37:59 must give you great joy and hope that
38:02 there's we're in the we're going in the
38:04 right direction. That's the word that
38:05 Pat used today that um you know, the
38:07 beanies represent hope for him and um
38:09 and then for others. And it it's an
38:11 incredible visual when you see 80 plus
38:13 thousand beanies in the crowd on the day
38:15 and and they build up to it. Um yeah,
38:17 we're really grateful for it and
38:18 hopefully we put on a really good show
38:19 for for those that you do. So So good on
38:21 you. Good on you, Craig McCra. Um we
38:23 have a we have a segment on the show
38:24 that is often or generally about the
38:27 guest. It's the BWS stat of course and
38:30 over to you Michael. Do you mind if I
38:32 take a go at this? His stat involves you
38:34 personally. Okay, Craig. Um what about
38:38 the total distance traveled by playing
38:40 as a player? Yeah, you happy to play.
38:43 This uh is the stat involving you during
38:46 his storyried Brisbane Lions. Correct.
38:47 Absolutely. As a player, Craig McCrae,
38:50 195 games,
38:53 320,710 km covered. That's a lot of
38:56 frequent fly points. Yeah. Antset went
39:01 just by by way of underlining how
39:04 incredible that is, let's compare it
39:05 with say Scott Pendlebury.
39:08 uh who's played 413 games. Over double
39:12 that. We would have thought that's over
39:13 double. That's so of 320,000. Where
39:16 where's this going? 950,000. 950. Could
39:20 be a million. A mill. Craig. Scott
39:23 penalty 43 games. 248,000.
39:28 That's less than you. Yeah. What's going
39:30 on? What's happened here? It's a long
39:33 way to Marvel.
39:37 Well, on that stat, colleague would for
39:40 the rest of the season stat, colleague
39:42 would travel how to Melbourne only two
39:44 times uh in their remaining 11 games and
39:47 seven of those games are at the MCG. So
39:49 when you do travel to Marvel, will you
39:50 arrest players?
39:54 Will you stay overnight in Dot?
39:59 You know this, have you looked at
40:01 Richmond's draw? Yeah. Oh, Richmond are
40:03 doing it. Can Richmond make the eight?
40:05 Uh they're playing really well, aren't
40:06 they? And that uh actually did say at
40:08 the start of the year, you already
40:09 stayed in this mode and put it. Yeah, I
40:12 thought that their senior players,
40:13 having lived there for a period of time,
40:15 that their senior players were going to
40:16 be really important. And I think you're
40:18 starting to see that when they're all
40:19 fit and available. Well, if you're just
40:20 joining us, we've got the the current
40:22 coach here talking about the chances of
40:24 Richmond,
40:29 Mount
40:32 Ed.
40:37 Craig, it's that time of the night. Uh
40:40 Keith Greg was subjected to it last
40:42 week. Not subjected. Just had a
40:44 wonderful experience. A wonderful
40:45 experience. And it's a harrowing
40:47 experience. You're about to have a
40:48 wonderful experience as well. It's time
40:49 for Sam's drip tray.
40:58 We may wish we were in Mount Etnner
40:59 after this.
41:01 Tell him how it works, Greg. You know
41:02 how drip trade works, don't you? Some
41:04 questions. We don't get to all the
41:05 questions. Sometimes a host would you
41:07 jump in with a stupid question about
41:08 Richmond and it takes us off track. So,
41:10 I've got, you know, genuine questions,
41:12 punchy answers. You can pass if you
41:13 want. There's no pressure. You played,
41:15 like we said, you played 195 games
41:17 Brisbane. Toughest opponent? Uh, David
41:19 Wurunda, West Coast. Sure. Absolutely.
41:22 Toughest opponent as a coach? Uh,
41:24 Pontipelli. Yep. What about another
41:28 coach? He look good in poly.
41:30 What did you say? My bot would look good
41:32 in black and white. I just throw that.
41:34 Toughest toughest. Wow. That's throwing
41:37 it out there. Wow. Get on it. Did you
41:40 hear that first? Yeah. Wow. Y
41:44 um he hasn't signed yet, has he? At
41:47 foot. No. That's why I threw it out.
41:51 You're unbelievable.
41:53 What about you doing? This is a
41:55 hard-hitting a hard-hitting. It's like
41:57 you're on the agenda setters.
41:59 What hardest coach to coach against? Uh,
42:01 I'm going to say Chris Scott. Okay. Best
42:04 player you've ever seen? Michael Voss.
42:06 Yeah. Actually, I'll say Gary Apple Jr.
42:08 Um, you can't change. Sorry, mate.
42:11 You've got to tell. We got to take your
42:13 first answer. Okay. Sorry.
42:16 Lee Matthews was your coach for three
42:17 prematures. Biggest lesson you ever
42:19 learned from Lee? Just listen to Lee and
42:21 don't talk back.
42:23 It's great. If you could change, do you
42:25 have that? Sorry. Do you have that kind
42:26 of gravitas? That's true. Like do the
42:28 players do they fear you? No. No. Um Lee
42:32 was really scary at his best um just by
42:34 saying nothing. But he he had scary eyes
42:36 and he just learned to listen quite
42:38 often. Hey, fly. And I just keep on
42:40 moving.
42:42 Well, and now it's all changed. He's
42:43 just a big teddy bear now, isn't he?
42:46 Grandpa doesn't know where he is.
42:51 Jeez. Oh boy. I'd like to distance
42:54 myself from those comments.
42:57 You're on your own. Mix words off air,
43:00 not mine. Um, if you could change one
43:02 rule about in the game, what would it
43:04 be? Uh, the um inconclusive footage of a
43:09 decision um being overturned. Being
43:12 overturned. Make a decision. Let the let
43:14 the technology do it or Okay, make a
43:16 decision. Is it still in the modern day
43:18 of rotations, is it still possible for a
43:21 player to be dragged old school, makes a
43:23 mistake, send out the runner, get him
43:24 off? Generally, that's what the sub's
43:27 for, but not too often. No. Okay. A
43:29 nice. Yeah. See, it's not all just
43:32 Mickey Mouse stuff. This is a very
43:35 Got the hard-hitting, good questions,
43:36 interesting footy stuff. Well, you got

44:00 you this and just hope that you wouldn't
44:02 cook me lasagna cuz you don't know what
44:03 you're talking about. At the end of the
44:04 day, if you have too much cheese on your
44:06 lasagna, um, it doesn't matter. Okay? It
44:10 won't affect the result. It doesn't. The
44:13 the the the kitchen dirty or the cheese
44:15 on the laser. That doesn't matter.
44:18 That is just nons.

44:23 nonsense. Can I Can I just It didn't
44:25 quite come out.
44:28 I had everyone coming to me all these
44:29 excuses why we weren't winning. And
44:31 someone come up to me the week before
44:32 and said, "We didn't win because there's
44:34 too much cheese on the lasagna." I said,
44:35 "You've got to be kidding me." Didn't
44:37 quite come out like that.
44:40 Well, there's a few Italian noners that

49:18 computer,
49:21 I would I would watch those three hours.
49:22 I'd watch go over time would go over
49:26 time. Anyway, turn
49:28 on stationers. Yeah, if you're out Nick
49:31 of the Woods and you need some
49:32 stationary, that is the place to go. Of
49:34 course, round 13 matches. There's some
49:35 absolute belters to kick this off
49:37 tomorrow night. So, no Nick Watson, no
49:39 James Sicily for Hawthorne. The red hot
49:41 dogs off the buy. That is going to be a
49:43 challenge for the Hawks. And then a
49:45 fantastic game on Friday night. The
49:46 Adelaide Crows. Good round. It is real
49:48 test for the Crows. How good are they
49:50 really? So there's a lot to look forward
49:51 to. What happened? What happened to the
49:53 Daraban? What happened at Dar, you know?
49:56 No, we played Mont Morency who beat us
49:57 in the grand final last year. We kicked
49:59 18 to 1-1 in the second half. Poor
50:01 kicking. Bad kicking is bad football.
50:02 Hit the post the fat bit five times. The
50:05 girls, they were magnificent. Bad
50:07 coaching. That's it.
50:09 I don't believe that. The girls you're
50:11 on thorough magnificent the girls. So
50:13 well done. Keep going. Can I just say
50:14 one thing to just want to turn a station
50:17 right? I just don't want any just a
50:18 message to all the other businesses out
50:20 there. They're thinking that you know
50:21 we're easy targets and all. We are not
50:23 for sale. Okay. I just want to make that
50:25 we are not for sale. Mari, what's up
50:27 next? Time for the
50:34 multi sports bet for sports bet. Uh get
50:39 on it. This one cannot lose. Here we go.
50:41 Uh, first up now, Sydney's onfield
50:43 struggle this week were described as
50:45 rabble and quite a big controversy, but
50:47 no one's talking about the real rebel in
50:49 the Sydney coaches box. Have a look.
50:52 Now, there's Dean Cox. He's the coach.
50:54 He needs to keep his sugar levels up.
50:55 And let's go in.
50:57 Dean's lolly jar is empty. How can a man
51:02 coach with an empty lolly jar? It's a
51:04 very good question. Is it the soft cap?
51:06 Is that what been reduced to? Just the 1
51:08 percenters. They're not nailing them at
51:10 the moment. By the way, I like to wager
51:13 that is not a lolly jar. Where's it
51:15 going? That is not a lolly jar. I will
51:18 show you a lolly jar.
51:22 [Applause]
51:25 Yes, that's a lolly right
51:31 there. Come and get one. Come and get up
51:34 here, kid.
51:37 Oh, you're taking eye out. Camera two,
51:40 come and get it. Camera two. Well, there
51:42 you go.
51:44 All right. You can I just point out
51:46 you're just throwing objects at people.
51:49 Uh, you can't have it. Don't eat those.
51:51 They came from Morwell.
51:56 You can't have it. But, look at the size
51:58 of my lolly jar. It's very impressive.
52:00 It's a massive lolly jar. Is it picking
52:02 up? That's big. That's a very big lolly
52:05 jar. Yeah. What are you going to do with
52:07 all the lollies? Eat them. Right. Okay.
52:09 Right. What would you do? I'd probably
52:12 I'd probably give a few away, but um you
52:13 can't have it. So, how about you take
52:15 Isaac? Don't eat those. Kick two or more
52:17 against the
52:20 against the tigs and you have a $1.95.
52:23 I'll take that. Yep. I'll take that. Is
52:25 that it? Is that it? No, I'm not.
52:28 Someone's about to burst out of that
52:30 while we go.
52:34 That's a lot of lollies. Now you're
52:35 worried. A lot of lollies. How'd you get
52:37 them in there? I don't know. That's the
52:40 first time I've seen it. I just told it
52:43 arrived about half an hour ago. Jack's
52:45 had a busy day.
52:48 Jack's put that together. Jack's in it.
52:51 Uh, all right. Uh, second leg.
52:53 Incredible scenes down at Swan Street.
52:55 Oh, this is great. Swan Street over the
52:57 weekend. uh fans uh went nuts
53:00 celebrating this massive sporting
53:02 occasion. There it is. We got fireworks
53:05 and flares and just general euphoria. Uh
53:08 I'd like to wager that's actually Colton
53:11 fans celebrating the buy this
53:20 week. You can't have it. You can't have
53:23 it. But I'll give you Tommy Done to get
53:24 20 or more against the Bombers. And he
53:26 have a $160 for that. Which is the
53:28 doning that he's leaving. Well, that's
53:30 Tom. Yeah, it's it's done. Done and
53:32 dusted. All right. Wish this multi was
53:35 done and dusted.
53:38 Third leg. Uh an amazing achievement
53:40 down at the kennel this week. Uh as past
53:43 player and past president Jim Miller
53:45 celebrated, listen to this, his
53:47 106th birthday. Can you believe it? The
53:51 106th birthday. It's amazing. Yep. Oh,
53:54 here we go. Ready? Here we go. Oh, no.
53:57 I'd like to wager it must be great,
53:59 Andy, watching your little brother
54:00 celebrate his
54:03 106th birthday, mate. That's just you
54:07 knew it was coming. Of course.
54:10 Uh, you can't have it, but happy. I want
54:12 you to see him blow the candles out.
54:13 That would be an hour and a half. He'd
54:16 never get back. How about you have
54:17 Matthew Kennedy to kick two or more
54:18 against the Hawks, and he can have $280
54:20 for that? I like it. Uh, odds are low,
54:22 but I like where this is heading. Okay,
54:24 let's boot this baby home. The church is
54:27 always looking for different ways to
54:28 appeal to the younger audience. We know
54:30 this. Um, but I think these nuns from
54:33 Brazil have gone a little too far.
54:36 [Music]
54:40 Oh go.
54:46 [Music]

55:04 Mount Eggna,
55:12 you can't have it. By the way, after
55:13 that, those those nuns were involved in
55:15 a drive by shooting. Yeah. Busted a cap
55:18 in a bishop's ass. That's what they did.
55:22 Lolly, anyone? You can't have it. But
55:24 how about you have a big day cost to get
55:26 30 or more against Melbourne on King's
55:27 birthday. And you can have 225. What do
55:29 you reckon? I'll take it. What do we

56:02 joy to have this champion of human being
56:04 join us on this weekend. It's the
56:06 culmination of so much. It's the
56:09 culmination of so much work. There she
56:10 is. Big D.
56:17 It's been 11 years, sir. It's been 11
56:19 years. I know, but you know, it always
56:20 it's always weird when I put these on
56:21 cuz it looks like I'm about to knock
56:23 over a bottle shop. You know what I
56:24 mean? Hello. Welcome. Great to see you
56:26 as always. Can you believe You just said
56:28 it's the 11th year. Can you believe that
56:30 it is the 11th year and the way this
56:32 thing just continues to roll on? No. No.
56:34 There's been so many moments when Mick
56:37 decided to ignore all of our safety
56:38 briefings. You one went down the slide
56:40 head first and nearly finished it before
56:42 we began. So that's it.
56:45 Look at us now. Uh it's a wonderful
56:48 origin. It's it's a great story. It gets
56:50 bigger and bigger every year and it just
56:52 takes over the entire town. So
56:54 congratulations to you and all the work
56:56 you do. It's really sense. Absolutely.
57:01 these um the beanies are the symbol and
57:03 there's there's a number of ways you can
57:05 you can contribute. If you want to know
57:07 more or uh join the fight, go to the
57:09 website, scan the QR code. Uh there's a
57:12 number of ways you can get involved, but
57:13 the beanies are such a symbol of what
57:16 it's about. The MCG on King's birthday
57:17 is remarkable. When you look around and
57:19 there's 70,000 of them amongst the 85
57:22 90,000 that turn up, it's it's an it's a
57:25 truly truly remarkable scene. But we've
57:27 got an addition. It's not just the
57:29 actual boonie this year. There's a
57:30 there's a digital boonie that's that's
57:32 available out there.
57:34 Changing things up. So, we've got a
57:36 digital beanie this year. So, when you
57:37 donate, you're able to jump online, put
57:40 on your own personal personalization and
57:43 get behind the cause. We're really
57:44 gearing up this weekend to see how much
57:46 we can fund raise because we know it all
57:48 makes a difference. And so, here's a
57:50 different way that you can be a part of
57:51 it. You might not be able to be there at
57:53 the NCG. There's Andy straight down the
57:55 line. So, we'll personalize this for
57:57 you. We've got one for Mick as well. Uh,
58:00 Fly did try to convince me to do go
58:02 pies, but we went with this. And this
58:04 one came from dad for you, Sam. So, this
58:06 is for This is from NO.
58:10 New York. That's beautiful. That was
58:12 your That was your nickname when you
58:13 played.
58:16 What you want to tell us? No. So, he's
58:19 the old man's part of unfiltered tonight
58:21 with Hamish after us. And I've heard a
58:24 bit of it today. It is. It's
58:26 breathtaking to be honest how the
58:28 technology has given us Neil's voice
58:30 back. It's it's quite remarkable. We ask
58:33 you this question every year. How's
58:34 how's the old boy going? Yeah. No, he's
58:37 um an amazing human. Uh I think getting
58:39 his voice back is just been so special.
58:42 He's my kids are hearing pop for the
58:44 very first time. Um you know, the beast
58:47 is a beast and it's the first year dad
58:49 won't be up on the slide with me and it
58:51 gets me a little bit emotional. It's um
58:53 another sort of milestone that changes,
58:55 but he he's been at Melbourne, he's went
58:58 to Collingwood, and every time he talks
59:00 about he's talking about we're fighting
59:02 back. You know, we play on, we don't let
59:04 this stop us. So, he continues to
59:05 inspire and I think hearing that in his
59:07 own voice just makes it so much more
59:09 powerful. Of course, you caught up with
59:12 uh with Neil. Yeah. Did you say but you
59:15 to drip train Neil was magnificent? What
59:16 about the some of those answers? The
59:18 castle was a surprise. Did you did you
59:20 watch that together? No. You know,
59:22 normally he's into a lot of violence
59:23 like to the sopranos. I was surprised
59:25 about the castle. Yeah, I know. Well,
59:27 showing you a different side of him. I
59:28 is great to hear his voice with that
59:31 terminology. And uh as I didn't show
59:33 this earlier, I thought I'd wait till
59:34 you're out here, Beck. But I did ask
59:36 Neil, it's part of drip tray, what was
59:38 the most annoying thing about his
59:40 daughter, Beck?
59:42 Nothing. Uh she's my daughter. She can
59:44 do no wrong. you
59:51 trying to throw me under the bus there.
59:52 Peggy, Neil, Neil, you are a liar.
59:57 Two sliders still to be named. Uh, any
60:00 hints? Oo, so halftime of the footy
60:03 tomorrow. Um, we're very excited. This
60:05 person has conquered uh areas that no
60:08 other Australian has. And then on
60:11 Friday, we've got another one. Uh, this
60:13 is a definite speed demon. So, to come.
60:16 But I'm just for people to feel honored
60:20 every year to be tapped on the shoulder
60:22 to go down a slide into two tons of ice.
60:24 Annie got asked directly by dad when um
60:26 in January and she was in tears with it.
60:28 It's just something that's so special
60:29 that people continue to rally and we've
60:31 got some iconic Australians that will be
60:34 getting involved and keep getting
60:36 involved. Fantastic. Thank you for
60:37 coming on. No one leaves empty-handed.

61:06 actor. No one. Ben, you're a superstar.
