00:00:00
Speaker 1: Massive tribunal moments and a royal visit. It is the Code AFL show. I'm Josh Barnes. I've got Glenn mcfaran at ed Burke with me. There's nothing else to talk about in Footing at the moment than the tribunal. Zach Butters's case was on Tuesday night, Lands Collide as well. Hawd is the case there. I was in the Butters eduar and the Collard so I have plenty of insights on that. What's your first thoughts with Zach Butter's maca fifteen hundred dollar fine was found guilty for insulting language.

00:00:23
Speaker 2: But do you how the hell this didn't go to mediation before going to a tribunal hearing, which was always going to be the massive tribunal story of the year. It's going to be hard to beat this, I think in a lot of ways, not because of the sanction, but because of what actually means to each of the participants there. So how it didn't get to that I cannot believe. I can understand the anger from all parties. They're both very strong on it. Brad Scott also waded into it again today, sort of saying that the clubs are still waiting for an explanation.

00:00:49
Speaker 3: Well, we've been waiting for on that night.

00:00:52
Speaker 2: How there was no explanation still absolutely astounds me. Where a billion dollar industry got to be better ed?

00:00:58
Speaker 4: Do we these evening deadline? So we've sent a hard deadline in the last two cases, that the Collard hearing last week and then this Zach Butter's one. Now, part of the Collard reasoning was it was VFL connected, so they'd put a hard stop time on the tribunal as they do for the VFL. But you think for an AFL listed player they can make a few they can move a few things around, and for Butters as well. It just seems like we're waiting too long for these reasons to be made publicly available. This isn't enough information out there.

00:01:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is bizarre. We're recording this what like eighteen hours almost after the actual event, and we still don't know why what's happened. Hopefully by the time you listen to this, you'll know, but I can't guarantee that. And it was just bizarre last night. Jason Johnson was one of the panel members. Halfway through the hearing, one of the lawyers had to stop it and say is he's still there because he had disconnected from his computer to his phone. He popped up back a few minutes later and was behind the wheel of the car he was driving at the time while he was in the I guess tribunal. And then we had a five forty five deadline. The deliberations went for maybe half an hour. I've been in case to a deliberation to go for two hours, so I don't know whether that crunched the deliberations down shorter than it should have been. And then the chair came back and said guilty. But I can't tell you why.

00:02:08
Speaker 2: It's just not good enough in that sense, Like everyone's got things going on in their lives and tribunal members and chairs and that as well. But this is a very big case. It just should have been done so much more, you know, in a much easier way. And really it had to be. It was never going to be resolved on the night because we know it's going to go further, but it had to.

00:02:27
Speaker 3: Be as resolved as it possibly could.

00:02:30
Speaker 2: With that explanation out all it does it just the unease becomes even bigger, doesn't it.

00:02:35
Speaker 4: It's a rotating cast isn't on the train. It was about twenty names. I think if you go on the AFL website you can see who's down for these duties at different times. Was Jason Johnson the right option, given he clearly had something on it. He's a real estate agent. Maybe he's on his way to open an inspection or something at that time. But surely you can find someone from that selection of people with greater available.

00:02:54
Speaker 3: The chair is a little bit harder.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: There's not too many chairs, and I sort of get that, but you know, it is just not good enough in that sense. I can't remember I've covered quite a few tribunals and Bunsy you've done the same. And likewise, I can't remember a situation where someone has end's flipped over and it's.

00:03:10
Speaker 3: Quite clearly not in the room there.

00:03:12
Speaker 2: We understand the zoom side of things, but it was just a comical way to end something that really wasn't incredibly serious.

00:03:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was strange. So what happens now? What happens for the umpires now? Does Nick Foot is he available for Port Adelaide games going forward or do they have to blank him out there? And if there is a similar case, will we even report it or go through this again, because I'm not sure it's the right path to be treading.

00:03:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think from a Nick Foot perspective, like you know, I think there's not a situation that we'll see this year that he would umpire a Port Adelaide game, because I don't think that would be fair on him as much as anyone else.

00:03:48
Speaker 3: And I think that's what it is. It comes back to individuals. Now.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: They're both very strong about their belief about what was said. So you know, you look from his perspective, you look, Zach Butters will fight this to the Hillsport Adelaide really fascinating here. Of course they're going to support Zach Butters. We understand that they're going even further and further because they've got to do this because they need Zach Butters to stay. We all think he's going to go to the Western Bulldogs or Geelong, but Port have got to absolutely dig in here and do everything right and keep him happy.

00:04:15
Speaker 3: He looks pretty distressed at the moment, I reckon ed, doesn't he.

00:04:18
Speaker 4: They want to be able to present to it at the end of the year, and so we've said that fifteen hundred dollars. Who cares you've been find fifty five thousand dollars over your career exactly.

00:04:25
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

00:04:26
Speaker 2: It's not about money with Zach Like the fifteen one hundred dollars is you know, that's not even an issue. It's the symbolism of it. It's the symbolism of it. This guy is. You know, it's going to be fascinated to see what happens from Brownlow Metal Night. You would think that if you're reported, you can still receive Brownlow Metal votes, so you would think that he would still get the three or the two in that game as well.

00:04:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can't be the fairest player on the ground if that's still part of the factoring in.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting. But again, like, yeah, that's going to be fascinating to watch. Brownlow Metal Night always throws up a couple of these little ideas you've got to keep watching.

00:04:57
Speaker 4: We should say with Nick Foot, there's nothing untoward about relation with port Adelaide the club, but if there's an ongoing dispute between him and Zach Butters, is it appropriate for him to umpire?

00:05:05
Speaker 2: And I think it's also to do with like Nick Foot shouldn't be in a put in the position where he's umpiring a game where he's getting booed.

00:05:11
Speaker 3: But you would think that's what happened.

00:05:14
Speaker 2: Will happened unfairly in a sense from Port Adelaide supporters and you know they're aggrieved since.

00:05:19
Speaker 4: He's back at the Adelaide Oval for Adelaide Sin Kilda this week.

00:05:22
Speaker 3: Which is interesting.

00:05:23
Speaker 2: Adelaide crowd very different to a Port Adelaide crowd, so very different.

00:05:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fascinating to see what happens they're going forward. Plenty of coverage on that one on Code Sports and Lance Collode. You were in that head as well. What were your thoughts from what was a long elongated case and possibly could still be going even further.

00:05:42
Speaker 4: It'spen hours and hours of hearings and then the initial deliberation and then a whole day to wait for the deliberators to come back and say that found Colde guilty. We actually finally got the reasons for why Collade was found guilty last night after the sentence, a couple of hours after the suspension down. So it it basically hinged on that we know this already. The AFL tribunal sided with two VFL players, Derbi Hipwell and Bally Lambert from Frankston, over Lance Collard's version of events, and they included a couple of bits of footage that they thought were a bit sus as in Lance Collard sort of not really disputing Bailey Lambert as he was pointing out to the umpire and accusing Collud of homophobic slurs, and then Collard's kind of inconsistent reasoning around why didn't call that out at the time if he stuck to his version of events. So we've had that. Sin Kilda said they're very disappointed that the AFL didn't believe Collard. The AFL Players Association has said the same. The Saints actually asked for a substantial fine rather than the suspension at all. They had a second option, which was a four week suspension with two weeks suspended and then served concurrently with his current suspension, which would have left him also missing no game.

00:06:54
Speaker 1: You can always ask, I suppose you.

00:06:55
Speaker 4: Can always ask. So the tribunal threw him through Saint Kilda a bone a bit with two suspended off the total nine week ban. And they're also generous in making it weeks instead of games because the VFL fixture is quite clunky. There are a lot of breaks in it, and a nine week a nine game VFL suspensions could workout to twelve or thirty. So in some ways the AFL says face by giving him more than six weeks for a second offense, they needed to do that. But they've shaved a couple of weeks off of the Saints. So I don't think Sin Kilda will appeal the length of this suspension. That they could still decide to appeal the guilty verdict guilty verdiculre.

00:07:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been quite long. You tribuneal out ed a little tribunal out hopeful. I'm hoping, hoping for made for a peaceful weekend. None of these contested hearings either remember when players used to play guilty or charges will just get struck off. So these contests, it's been very unusual to have two of these, he said, She said, type scenarios over the same.

00:07:50
Speaker 3: We see more, that's the question. It's going to be fascinating.

00:07:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, it we'll be interesting to watch. Let's talk about some footy. Carlton and Collingwood kicks off the round on Thursday night. It's a big game for both clubs. We know Carlton's been under siege whole season. It seems like Collingwood is getting close and closer to be on the stage. Macca. They need to start scoring, They need to probably start winning. Is this the biggest loser of the round? Whoever walks awaund on Thursday night?

00:08:10
Speaker 2: I think it is, guys, unless Gold Coast somehow lose to Wesden, which I don't think will happen.

00:08:16
Speaker 3: I think it is this is the club either.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: Are the two clubs that are under a lot of pressure at the moment Pies because they can't score there. You know, I think their performance last week, their in Devor last week was really good.

00:08:26
Speaker 3: The execution was awful.

00:08:28
Speaker 2: And it's very hard to kick goals when you haven't got anyone there to kick goals for you and you can't get it into them as well. The Pies have got a great record against Carlton. Look at this, it's they won there past four they've won twelve of their last fourteen.

00:08:39
Speaker 3: But I reckon they're a little bit vulnerable this week. Ed.

00:08:41
Speaker 2: I think it's a really interesting game to look at and Mick mcgon's having a good look at the kids of each side and who's got the best list.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: It's a line baller, isn't it.

00:08:49
Speaker 4: At the moment, Yeah, I'm interested to see which way it goes with the under twenty six is. Look, there's nothing on Carton's list that's particularly inspiring other than maybe Harry Dean is back this week and Jackie Smith obviously through the middle. But I think Dean and Jacob Weedering if they're both come in a pretty handy additions, Blues looked like they were just starting maybe yeah, wow, I regretted. I had a feeling that Essendon was ready to go against Melbourne last weekend. I didn't tip them, and I just want to chase my gup this week and see how it goes. It could backfire spectacularly, but we'll say.

00:09:18
Speaker 1: At his game one hundred for Nick Dakos this weekend, it feels like he's played a lot more than that, and he's definitely played a lot more brown low votes, and that through ninety nine games got us thinking about who potentially this century has played a better one hundred games in their first I'm not sure he'd come up with many who had beaten him, but I sent you to the stats books you did.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: It was really interesting Barzi having a look at it, I think from a consistency point of view, he's had the best one hundred games this century.

00:09:41
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt about that.

00:09:43
Speaker 2: Mind you, from a metals perspective, if you look at it, Chris Judd was outstanding.

00:09:47
Speaker 3: Now let's look at Nick Dakos.

00:09:49
Speaker 2: So two nine hundred and twenty two disposals, that seems a lot, sixty two goals twice, and he's been second in the Brownlow and he's been third as well. He's only one of two players in history to score least one vote per every game in terms of the averages there as well the other one who's Hayden Bunton junior.

00:10:05
Speaker 3: Now we've got to go back a good start in nineteen thirty one, nineteen thirty two.

00:10:08
Speaker 2: He won Brownlow's in his first and second year, so not a bad effort. About his fourth or fifth as well in nineteen thirty five. But from that perspective, Deakos has been absolutely outstanding. Chris Jadd won a Browlow in his first three hundred as well as a Norm Smith medal, so that puts him right into the equation. I think from a consistency point of view, Decos might have been better.

00:10:28
Speaker 3: But Judd with that impact.

00:10:30
Speaker 2: I'll never forget that West Coast game where he went bananas and he announced.

00:10:33
Speaker 1: Himself to the bresent lines.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: The other ones I reckon.

00:10:36
Speaker 2: Lance Franklin kicked his one hundredth goal in a season in game seventy eight. Can you believe that? Will anyone do that ever again? And by the time he kicked, he's one hundredth. Sorry, by the time he played his one hundred game, he kicked two hundred and ninety six goals. He was a premiership player. The other one's in that five Barnsie. What do you think that first one hundred pretty good?

00:10:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that fist started really well. He was polled quite strongly in twenty fourteen, which was at one hundred game. Brier finished second to Matt Pritis in that Brando medal only had twenty five votes, and that five he started well, which was important. A couple of others I looked up, so Jeremy Cameron, he kicked two hundred and sixty eight hundred and fifty eight games bals in one hundred games and a bad side forty less than Yeah.

00:11:16
Speaker 4: Well, because if you think about James Podziadley in a very strong side at Geelong, he only kicked two hundred and five goals I think in one hundred games. But I thought was a huge tally and I was about to volunteer that, but Cameron's plowing him out of the water.

00:11:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were. They were struggling for those first three or four years, so I think that was an extremely good effort. Tom stew was a mature age pick, but he he played his hundreds of late in twenty twenty one. By the end of twenty one he was a three time Australian, which is a phenomenal start and one I'll throw up. He's only played sixty three games that the Lacroft has two nor Smith medals to his name. What's he going to achieve in the next forty games?

00:11:46
Speaker 3: Has he been as consistent in that brackets as Dekos? What you know?

00:11:49
Speaker 2: But he's got a thirty odd games to go in those sense. His metal cabinet by the end of the year, my goodness, is going to.

00:11:54
Speaker 1: Be as good as anyone's at any of your lists.

00:11:56
Speaker 4: Well, Cooper Trembath has ninety two games, he's made a Michael Barlow first eight games and a watch on the sire, who's got nine games left. He's on ninety one at the moment. If he produces a bit more magic in those nine games, we might remember that.

00:12:11
Speaker 1: In the same way, has anyone earned more in their hundred games than desire.

00:12:15
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't have thought. So if you think about it, that'd be about right.

00:12:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be more important to some people, wouldn't.

00:12:21
Speaker 4: Unless anyone won tats loto in the first one hundred games.

00:12:25
Speaker 1: All right, Michael O, thank you for that. For that, Dakos rundown, I think you need to take a bit of a breath, so we'll kick you out. Cory Mobilio is coming up right next with some stats. So Maca needed a second to just cool off and take a breath after all that, Nick Dakos chat So we've given him a bit of a break to relax. We've got Cory Mobilio in from Champion Data to take over take us through all the important numbers at the moment. So killed as the last team to win a game at the end of gather Round. They look pretty good for a part and then didn't look so good for another part is that a trend Corey.

00:12:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's kind of the theme with Saint Kilda this year is just how inconsider they've been in games. So again, after five games, you know we can start picking up on trends and no red flags and what teams are doing well. Obviously, you know, a couple more weeks and things will start smoothing out. You look at Saint Kildy this year, they've won twenty fifteen minute periods, which is the equal six most in the competition.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: Yet they're two and three.

00:13:19
Speaker 6: So you look at games against GWS, they'll nearly overrun on the weekend, nearly overrun again, Brisbane up to it for three quarters over in the last quarter. It's really important now to get their game in shape. You look at their ball movement profile. They're actually the second worst side at generating a score from.

00:13:35
Speaker 4: A half back chain.

00:13:37
Speaker 6: Their turnover games is also a facet which needs to improve. They're the second worst side at putting an intercept onto the scoreboard. They've had no issues winning it back. Wilkie and Silvanni have been really good behind the ball, but their damage off a turnover is a red flag. At the moment, so those two factors are really important. I think their next five games, you know they play West Coast, Carlton and Fremantle. Going five and five or better is super important. The five game stretch prior to their mid season buyers is going to be really important. They played Freeman Le on a Friday night, Hawthorne on a Thursday night, they traveled to Sydney, and then they finished with GWS in the Bulldog, so we know a lot more about the Saints. I think it's more this immediate next five game stretch is getting your game in order and you know, look to kind of pinch a couple before the mid season.

00:14:25
Speaker 1: By Yeah, it felt like for almost an hour on Sunday night they couldn't get the ball pass halfway and they were just trapped in their back half and couldn't get the ball inside fifty. Are you worried about security? Is just teething problems are They are looking at almost new team from last year.

00:14:37
Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like the problem that you would have expected them to have going into this season, because I know first half of last season particularly, they were lining up their best players off half back and that's where they're doing a lot of their damage because they had Sinclair and Wangon and Miller coming off the flanks and setting up players. So I wonder if that's on Jack Sinclair and I've never been doing a bit of rotating with the other half back. It's been Marcus Windhager at times, it's been Sam Flanders. How do Clark's just coming to the team and they're trying to settle him back down. So it might just be nailing that right combination and getting the right balance of their back seven because it's been a bit a bit of a state of flux the first few weeks.

00:15:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot of moving pieces there. You get the good numbers, Coy, but I've got some service level stuff for you. Sitney in number one for points for, number one for points against. That's pretty good, isn't it?

00:15:19
Speaker 3: Love it?

00:15:20
Speaker 6: So, I think, And as you touch on offensively, it has been giving a lot of praise throughout the week, and rightfully so. So what they're doing, I can't really remember a more aggressive side with their ball movement and how they challenge sides. Their forward handball surge has been off the charts. Their turnover game in really good shape. But I think more and where I want to take the chat today is how while they are going defensively? So the points against number yep, they're number one, but they're also number one for denying turnover scores off the opposite from their opposition and then the second best side at defending ball movement. You look at the previous a couple of years for just how while they hold up from turnover. They were twelfth last year and thirteenth in a year they made the Grand Final and you look at Grand Final day. Obviously a lot went wrong, but they conceded seventy two points from turnovers. So look, they're one game into a tricky four game patch. But I think off the back of it, how they hold up defensively is the measure to, you know, if they will push deep into September again. Can't knock what they're doing. Tom McCart and Mills Rampy look really good behind the ball.

00:16:25
Speaker 3: I want to see it for a little bit more.

00:16:27
Speaker 6: But like you said, defensively offensively tick tick, it's so exciting.

00:16:32
Speaker 4: Mick mcgwond's done some great writing about them for the Herald. Sonny calls it leap frog football. When they come off half back, you often see Nick Blakey almost go with a hospital hand pass up the corridor so he can just run back onto the footy. That's kind of attract pressure in the corridor and then just back themselves to keep the ball. It's so fun to watch.

00:16:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's fantastic. Our man in Sydney, Locky mccurty. Right this week, that opined with a bit of analysis that Kety might be the best playing foot He's on a pretty good tear. How does he stack up?

00:16:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got to him as a number one rated player.

00:17:00
Speaker 1: There we go, that's what we want at the moment.

00:17:01
Speaker 6: But number two, and the man will touch on soon, is Nick Watson. But yeah, and he like you don't see many better performances from what he produced down was in Norwood on Saturday.

00:17:11
Speaker 4: He was everywhere.

00:17:12
Speaker 1: Super coach of scrambling to get him into their sides. As we speak, you mentioned you let me in there. Number three on that list is Nick Watson. He's only averaging fifteen point four disposed of the game. So how is he the third best ranked player in the league.

00:17:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the damage he's doing with ball in hand. He's had the tenth best start to a season by a small forward on record, and you look at how he's separating games. So Easter Monday tricky game to analyze, but the Hawks scored two goals from Ford fifty stoppage. Both came off Watson's boot. Saturday night they cushed in without the Dogs having a ruckman. They scored thirty nine points from Ford fifty stoppage. You know, you rarely see number like that. That was the fifth most on record and it's Watson and he's three other mates which we'll touch on. But yeah, like you said, number three rated player in the competition this year, and it's just more than damage when he wins it.

00:17:59
Speaker 1: It's in Ford half.

00:18:01
Speaker 6: I think he's averaging close to seven score involvements, so nearly every second time he touches the ball, he's been involved in a score. And either way Hawthorne are playing with that fast, long, aggressive ball movement is really bringing these smalls into it.

00:18:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel almost a bit sorry for the defenders, Like Ocean Mallan did a pretty good job on you on Easter Monday, lost him for a very small minute second twice and they cost him goals and he kicked two crucial goals there He's just so damaging and it's so amazing to watch as long as your team's not playing against him.

00:18:29
Speaker 4: Because he's been so consistent at stoppages, there's no reprieve for defenders, so you can't have that little break or he'll just stin you. Like that stoppage against the Bulldogs, we saw the behind the goals vision. He made them look like traffic cone. He just kind of wandered straight through the front of the stoppage part of the seas. Yeah, you really can't switch off.

00:18:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, what they are doing at Ford fifty stoppage is Yeah, it's such a small slice of the pie. But if you're not organized against these four smalls like they're going to cut you, to cut you, the shred so off the back of sat Day and east of Monday, it was just curious to have a look at who's been involved in the most forward to fifty stoppage scores this year. Dylan Moore comes out number one in the competition with six, Watson and Ginne him a third.

00:19:08
Speaker 3: In the competition.

00:19:09
Speaker 6: They've been involved in five obviously, four of Watson's five have come in the last two weeks, and Connor McDonald is another one who's going really well this year. He's been involved in force Ford fifty stoppage scores, so yeah, do your homework on those four. But Nick Watson's the one. He's had a really really strong start to the.

00:19:26
Speaker 1: Year, almost as strong as you, Corey. Another excellent edition from you. We'll kick you back out. I think Maca has got his breath back. We'll get him back in next thanks Corey. He has now departed. Macha is back and it's time for a game show here on the Code Afil Show. We don't have any intro music. We'll get our producer Mat HICKI onto that. But it's time for arket or park It. Park It is what we're calling it Edge. It's your segment. You're running the show. You're the Larry Emder of the code today.

00:19:55
Speaker 4: Thank you. Viage ark or park It in a dream on Tuesday night, and I'm keen to bring it into into reality today. So I want you to shut your eyes or you don't have to shut your passage would play that I will be describing.

00:20:08
Speaker 3: I start humming as I shut my eyes.

00:20:10
Speaker 4: And it's really important that we capture the feel of what we want the game to look like in September. It's all about gearing it towards the finals. But the example I'm going to pick for a game is the Western Derby on Sunday. That's a good road test. It's just a home and away season game. It could be close, it could be contested. I want to know whether you want to send these things up to the arc or you park it until after the game before we scrutinize it. So first passage, Neil Erasmus is streaming down the wing for Fremantle. His spots Jy Amos and the forward pocket he's won out against Sandy Brock, So the naked eye, it looks as though Erasmus's kick has gone out in the fall, but Amos claims the mark and quickly wheels around on his left to snap a goal. The boundary pile lets the whole thing go market or park it.

00:20:50
Speaker 1: Josh park it for me. I think if the players continuous, we don't need arkin dimension park.

00:20:56
Speaker 4: It for me.

00:20:56
Speaker 3: I'm exactly the same park park park.

00:20:59
Speaker 4: So you're happy with that. Grand Final Boundaryundpire doesn't call out in the four.

00:21:03
Speaker 1: The bounds made his call, so I'm happy with that.

00:21:06
Speaker 4: I like it. Brady hoff is corraled against the boundary on the wing, Heath Chapman is about to crunch him in a big Heath Chapman tackle. He handles the ball at Chapman's lower leg and a ricochet is off him and over the boundary line. It's unclear whether it's the lower above the knee and the boundary umpire is going to confer with the field umpire soft decision as a boundary throwing market.

00:21:26
Speaker 3: Or park it market. Park it, yeah, get it done, get it moving.

00:21:30
Speaker 1: This is at least a stoppage, So I'm not completely against the archet, but if it was up to me, I'd be parking it.

00:21:36
Speaker 4: Okay, it's not what last touch should be. You know, if Champion Data, if Corey from Champion Data isn't giving you a disposal for that incident, shouldn't be.

00:21:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I thought last disposal, at least when it was initially pitched to me, that it was last disposal. But now we're getting way into the weeds of accidental touching a toe on the way.

00:21:53
Speaker 3: Out to become ridiculous.

00:21:54
Speaker 1: And then we're going upstairs and wasting time for a rule that we're supposed to save time absolutely by looking at video replay. Is that inconclusive of something that wasn't even a disposal anyway?

00:22:03
Speaker 3: The law of unintended consequences. It happens every time.

00:22:07
Speaker 4: Final scenario of arkadel parkt Veteran Freemantle defender Luke Ryan is on the last line of the fence and he has no clear option to kick to. Under pressure, he abruptly turns and handles the ball through the behinds from roughly in line with the top of the goal square. The field umpire calls it a behind, but was he beyond the nine meters? That's the subject of debate. Arket or park it.

00:22:27
Speaker 1: I'm still parking it, I understand. I think Scores is probably the one place where I would be checking things. But when it's a deliberate rush behind, I'm parking.

00:22:37
Speaker 2: I'm parking too, And you're right, David parking, David parking there. I'm actually comfortable with boundary lines. We should throw you get it going straight away. Scores I'm a little different, But in this instance, I'm still parking.

00:22:50
Speaker 4: So we entirely want the arch out of boundaround piring, don't we not?

00:22:55
Speaker 1: Arc Yeah, I think so. I think obviously the trend from this is we're parking a lot. We're doing more parking then Osco Piastre at the moment. But I just don't like video intervention. I just don't think it's necessary in our game. I don't think it makes it better really in any way. Even the score reviews, a lot of them are a waste of time, Like the umpire should just be getting it right. I know sometimes we fix things, but there was three or four on the weekend that Will went over the boundary post. Nobody can tell at all. The Artemis crew couldn't tell on a close up, so how are we going to tell at all. It's just a waste of everybody's time. I think they should be getting as little arc as possible.

00:23:28
Speaker 4: Arket or parkt will return later in.

00:23:29
Speaker 1: The challenge for you to come up with a arket that we agree with.

00:23:32
Speaker 4: Ed.

00:23:32
Speaker 1: That's for the next time we're.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got to come up with some kind of scenario. But we'll see later in the season when the segment returns.

00:23:39
Speaker 1: Now from my new favorite segment to my old favorite segment, quick Hands. We had the Royal visit today at the Western Bulldogs. Prince Hay was wearing a footscray scarf trying to learn how to kick a drop punt. Loenwood was there, we think, getting a good view of things, so you'll be able to read all her observations from her visit to win and Oval Maka. It made you think at least of some royal moments of the pass and what came across you on we've had a couple here.

00:24:02
Speaker 2: It's quite remarkable when you think Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the now.

00:24:07
Speaker 3: King Prince Charles.

00:24:08
Speaker 2: Of course, Princess Anne attended the first VFL match on a Sunday way back in nineteen seventy Richmond Fitzroy.

00:24:14
Speaker 3: Apparently they only lasted a quarter.

00:24:15
Speaker 2: It was only a quarter, but Princess Anne what died the radio on because there have been a few punch ups, so she was keen to follow the punch ups. Collingwood sent Prince William a black and white jumper in nineteen eighty two.

00:24:26
Speaker 3: I don't know whether the jumper ever got sent.

00:24:28
Speaker 1: Back, but quite when he was born.

00:24:29
Speaker 2: He was born, he got a Collinwood up. But he doesn't look like a Collingwood spportter to me. The Prince, I'm not sure about that. And we had Queen Mary and King Frederick of Denmark having a kick with will Day and James sicily earlier in the year. I think Queen Mary when she was Mary just may have even briefly dated enormous Swan's Normal Smith medallist Ryan O'Keefe.

00:24:49
Speaker 3: So there's many of you.

00:24:50
Speaker 4: Macka was there reporting from the scene.

00:24:52
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm not sure about that one.

00:24:55
Speaker 1: We'll definitely see the photos, the photos last forever of Prince Harry in the dog scarf. Those are the things we love. It got me sort of thinking of our favorite I guess celebrity collisions with club. My favorite all time remains Rob Blow in two thousand and three, somehow between Paul la Cure and Eddie MacGuire seeing the song after Victor of Adelaide, I think famously later would wear an NFL hat in an NFL game. Roblow loves loves sports overall.

00:25:16
Speaker 4: Can I see what that was connected to? Was Eddie McGuire a big West Wing fan.

00:25:22
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what else. It has to have been.

00:25:24
Speaker 3: Words.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: I remember the fun up we got it in the paper and the like, But you reckon he knew the words.

00:25:29
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think he's miming just as bad as Clayton Oliver is. At the moment, editing came to mind for you.

00:25:34
Speaker 4: Well, I remember being at a Geelong Hawthorne game about ten years ago and a spotted Niale Horn in the crowd. It didn't look like he was in one of those corporate package. I assume that there were multiple one direction members there, but it just it looked like he was just watching the footy with a couple of mates, which was quite funny.

00:25:47
Speaker 3: Well, I reckon cart were the gurus at it.

00:25:49
Speaker 2: They got Abbat when Abra out here in nineteen seventy seven, a long time ago, when I was a kid, they got ab out and all the jumpers and the Abba movie was filmed out here.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: So it still lives today on Cellu Lloyd And you know you go back. Snoop Dogg. I think wore a Gold Coast Jumper on stage one.

00:26:04
Speaker 1: Time twenty fourteen. He was not at the time a Snoop Lion at that time, but she chose the suns he did.

00:26:11
Speaker 2: And I think Chris Connolly once famously presented a Freo jumper to kiss as well. So there's been eas of the journey problem with the gurus at it, though they were very good at.

00:26:19
Speaker 3: The promotional value of it.

00:26:21
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the purple really suits kiss and then make up, but we'll see how that goes. Thank you Macca, Thank you Ed. Another good addition, make sure you read everything that's going on in footy. Plenty of reaction and previews going on before the weekend.
