The Front Bar - 04 Jun 2025

[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

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

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.
