[Music] Essentially he's blaming the media for the story about it and with four weeks to go in the season, with three years after this to go on a contract, he's meeting with a rival coach and he's trying to blame the media. It's one of the more disgraceful comments in the media I've heard from Baras said. If he wants us to grow up and if we all want to grow up with where the industry is heading, stop treating us like fools, which is exactly what he's done there. Bang, Cancorns, speaking like he normally speaks. Now, I'm going to push myself aside. I'm going to, because at the moment when I compare you to, you're like Ariana Titmus and Molio Callahan, like you're training the same pool, you practice all the time together, but then there's just this healthy rivalry and it can sometimes turn ugly. No, it's dislike actually. It's dislike. I'm just not sure that if corn was on top of the podium, I'm not sure he's looking at you, Gosson, saying, come and join me up here. Good morning, Cane. Thanks for having me. Thanks for joining us, mate. We appreciate it. No way. I'm sharing the dice with Gostard on this. Just stay down here. Gosh, he's going to stay off Twitter and then he's back in three weeks. Then he's off. Then he's the eighth time. Goss, you've been back on X now, I call you. What is going on? Cane, I've posted two posts because I didn't have a platform for the first one. Okay, that was the Adam Simpson not coaching. So I just used Twitter. And the other one was the Harley Reid didn't get fined. It's got massive traction. I've not responded. I haven't liked. I haven't retweeted. I haven't read any of your trial. I have not gone down that. And you know what? It is actually my profile and my social media. So I can actually do what I want. You can 100% you can then stop telling us on the advice of Gary Line. You're going to go off it. Just stay on there. You're the first bloke to react every time I post. Oh, he's back. It's almost like you've got it in your drafts. I can read you like a book. I can read you like a book. Hey, he's speaking of reading like a book. Did you your mate Sam Mitchell? Now, I know he's a regular on your show with Kingie. We love him. And he's obviously had a small sample size over here in WA as an assistant and played that one year at West Coast. Doing great things with Hawthorne and used through that Connor Nash has just signed a five year deal with the Hawks, which is great news for the Footy Club. Now, you've attacked Barris in regards to, you know, all of his carry on, but Sam Mitchell meeting with a player that has a three year deal still to run out of the football club. Surely, Sam must take some ownership on all of this playing out. So it's a good topic, I reckon, off, because I reckon at the moment it's just a free for all. So I think the AFL needs to set some guidelines around what he's allowed and what he's not allowed. I'm with you to some extent that I don't think it's a great look that he's finished playing in Adelaide. He's jumped on a plane to Perth while the rest of the team's gone home, but he's meeting with a player that's still got four weeks to go in the season and more importantly, three years to go on a contract. But if you want to get ahead, if you want to improve your list, this is what the best are doing. And we saw that we've seen that from other clubs like too long have done it better than anyone. I personally don't think it's a great look. And maybe there should be a two-week window in the middle of the season where it is more of a free for all and you have some guidelines around it. But my criticism lies with Boris and his comments a month ago where he said essentially, "I'm an Eagles player until they pull the road from underneath me and essentially it's immediate beat up." The most biggest piece of rubbish I've heard this year when it was his management that sought the trade to Sydney last year and then he's sitting back trying to blame the media. And in the meantime, he's meeting with a rival club who's always gone the season. He's got three years left on a deal. If I was West Coast, if I was a West Coast fan, I'd be furious with the way that he is, as I said, trying to treat us like a fool. Mark Duff who just had him in before the break, he believes it's two first rounders and one inside the top 10. He's got three years to run on a deal. So therefore, you're going to get a healthy compensation. What's your vibe on whether Tom Barris will be at Hawthorne? And you are linked with Sam, have you asked Sam whether this is a genuine or is this trying to just boost up the price and make West Coast payovers? Well, West Coast don't need to do anything. I've been West Coast through in a great position. I mean, this is the best as I read it, right? Like Barris just signed the contract extension with West Coast. Since then, his management has put the feelers out and another club has said, "Look, where do you think you're worth?" It is. So they may think he's worth $950 at Sydney or at Hawthorne. He's probably getting $700 at West Coast. And this club's going to come and give you a seven-year contract. And he's saying, "I'm under paid here. I'm going to go and use this to either extend my deal at West Coast and redo it, and walk out." The West Coast don't need to do anything. As you said, they're in a perfect position. They've got him under contract. Unless it is something extraordinary that he's offered their way to first-round draft picks, I wouldn't be doing a whole lot. If two first-round draft picks came my way for West Coast in the position that they're at, absolutely you would look at it. But I just think they just sit back and see how this played out, and then play really hard ball if he decides that he is threatening to leave. All right, Ken Inclay. Again, someone else you have a great respect for. You've declared him. Well, I haven't declared him. You've got on absolutely gone, okay. All right, so Inclay's name has been mentioned with a contact of mine saying that his name's been mentioned about being at least interviewed, being asked whether he's interested, because we don't know what his future looks like at Port Adelaide. I know he loves the club and I hear all that stuff rolled out by Ken and all that sort of passionate stuff. But be honest, he won't coach there next year if they don't make at least the prelims. Well, you've been one of his biggest critics, Josh. Do you think he suits West Coast? It's a very good question you ask, Ken. I think he probably does, because I'm not 100% sold on the rebuild right now. But I do think the next coach probably has got a three-year tenure, and I think that would see Ken out. And I think Ken came in at Port Adelaide at a good time. I think he's done remarkably well for Port Adelaide, but they haven't got the big prize. And when you are in a two-team town, which you are well aware of, there is expectation for success, and he hasn't achieved that yet. I think he would be a good fit at West Coast. Yeah, so I mean, so this we agree on. I don't know whether it's going to happen. I don't think the phone call has been made yet. To Ken, not saying that that's not going to happen, and not suggesting that he's not high on their wish list, but he's got other business at the moment. So, West Coast may be respectful of that. So, I'm with you. I don't think the next coach at West Coast is going to be the long-term coach. But can you get any experience coach to come in who is highly regarded, highly respected, and really increase the standards and the expectations upon the players, and set some really good habits for the youngsters and any senior players that hang around at West Coast, which is, as you said, exactly what he did at Port Adelaide. He focused on the little things, the disciplines that make you a great player, but they only make you a great player if you do it week after week, day after day. That's what he could do at West Coast. He can, but I mean, as you've seen at Port Adelaide, he handles it pretty well, like he's a good media performer, he's raw, he's not polished, but he's a good performer. So, it makes sense to me, is it going to happen? I'm not sure, but maybe someone who has that experience to take it now until the next younger coaches are ready to go, mightn't be a bad thing. I'd give it some time, James, because my mate, he hasn't missed for some time now. No, he's been an old golster to arms, for example. It's been ridiculous, and just one thing that's upset me a little bit is, Jonesy has just texted you. Jonesy, who's an avid listener of our show, contributed a lot, says lots of nice things. Kane is the best thing SCN has got going, great stuff, Kano. Oh, he's just, what about, that's just, that's rude. Well, then, Tom O, Tom O said, it's the biggest piece of rubbish he's heard this year. Maybe Kane could play back some of his highlights from the last six months. Well, I have had to do that feedback. Hey, Kano, I want to ask you, you did have some comments. I know you were talking with Goss earlier in the week about Harley Reid. Now, I try to avoid his bunch of talk about Harley Reid as I can, but he's absolutely been in the news this week, and rightly so, thoughts? Well, I just don't know if he needs to be seeking out the off-the-ball stuff. Like, we all love how competitive he is, and when the foot is there, like he's as good as winning it as anyone. So, I do love the healthy, little bit of arrogance that he's got, and taking on tackles and all that. But the off-the-ball stuff, I don't know if he needs it. And let's be honest, West Coast are going to lose a whole lot of football games in the next three years until they become a very good side again. And he's going to have that target on his head from the opposition that they're going to go ask him every week. And that's just a taxing way to play. I reckon when you are the number one target as a 19-year-old from the opposition, that's hard enough as it is, let alone seeking the extra stuff, which increases the target even more. And it's taxing, right? Wrestling off-the-ball is a waste of energy. And as I said, I don't think he's fully conditioned yet anyway to be able to afford to spend those petrol tickets doing that. So, I'll just be advising him, yep, right, when the foot is there, you win it like you've always done. When it's outside of that, it's a little bit like the Zach Budders, Jason Northfront, this conversation. Don't waste your time doing it. There's nothing to gain by doing what he did to racial on the weekend and the other scuffles that he was involved in. Because they're going to lose and he's going to come out second best. Yeah, I think racial might have started it. But anyway, that's another round. Tom Cole started it, he told us. Yeah, Tom Cole and Harley restarted all those fights and neither of them got fined. Oh, that was amazing, that's a mystery how that happened. And we've also uncovered two kinds. He don't be praised in L.E.O. for leadership when he's taken Harley Reid away from the fights. We know that L.E.O is just a massive tie to us and he didn't want to be fined. So he is masquerading his leadership. He's got his first dollar. Last one before we let you go, are the Bulldogs a serious contender? And could they be leading the group of pinching a flag from under the noses of some of the other contenders? Well, they've done them before. Look, they're going to have to finish top four. I don't think anyone's winning it from outside the top four. I know they've done it. It's a rare occurrence that that would happen. I just think they're absolutely stacked with their list. And that's why I think it's so critical of Luke Beveridge to have been unable to maximise a talent on this list. It's extraordinary on every line. They go to Australia everywhere. So they've underperformed to this point. They're sitting in eight. Their last three weeks has been great. But I've still got the performances earlier on in the year or the rubbish that they served up in Adelaide against Port Adelaide a month ago in my mind to the point where I can't fully trust the Western Bulldogs. Now, your next question might be, "Who can you trust?" Not a whole lot at the moment. That's the season that we're having. So I would still think Bruce has been at the best team in it right now. And yeah, the Western Bulldogs aren't far behind. But I don't have full trust in them yet. Can't stick with coming on our show with Luke Camino's every now. I will make you famous eventually. Oh, my God. I will lever you into star stars. God, I have increased your profile like you wouldn't believe in you. I'm listening to you too. Have your own podcast and bugger off both of you. Thanks, mate. Get on your K-Gones, of course. If you're going to get him on a whole range of platforms, we appreciate it.
