"One of the best in the business is Mitch Leary from the Seven Network, he's the chief footy reporter." Do you remember when Tom Brown used to be on television? No. E.G., you forget quick. I know. Just remember, I just know that this place is the best in there. No, no. He's a gun. Absolute gun. And we made him. He started here. I reckon the way back then. I reckon he'd know this. We were just talking Baywatch just before. The big heavy issues. It probably mentions all over. But Kimbo's got it. The best one in Baywatch was Eric Irelaniac, but her best role was jumping out of the birthday cake in front of Stevens and Galen under siege. I'm not familiar with that one, Kimbo. When you spread that text, you went... But I'll look it up again today. Mitch Leary, are you a movie buff, Mitch? Good morning. Good morning, guys. Not really. I saw Twister's over the weekend, so that was pretty cool, but Baywatch was a bit before my time actually. I don't remember watching or too much of that. Do yourself a favour, mate. Google cinematography was amazing. Hey, any chance we're going to get a day today from the footy clubs, for those who went to the tribunal last night and failed, appealing? Any chance? I think there's a good chance. I know that Brisbane and the Giants this morning are considering that. They've got them for 11 o'clock, Melbourne time, so just over an hour to disturb whether they do that. We saw last week the eyes are hitting a appeal fail, but I think these clubs are giving it a good consideration this morning, given there's a bit of concern across all the biggest what players can and can't do these days. It's never been more grey, and I think these clubs are giving it a good red hot crack with their lawyers this morning before deciding whether they want to put $10,000 on the table and take it further. No, I'm manifestly excessive penalties, I believe. But fresh evidence. I've got to have fresh evidence. That's a lot of stuff. So that's the thing. What can they bring to the table, Mitch, that they haven't used already, and do you think there's some clubs withhold a little bit of evidence or an argument, so in case they do have to appeal it? The greatest legal buff, but having sat in a few appeal board hearings before, typically what happens is they have to just argue that the legality is around it and the failure of law, so they can't really bring too much fresh evidence to the table. It's more. They have to argue that the tribunal acting on Tuesday night being last night made an error of law, or there was a manifestly excessive outcome, as you alluded to, Scotty. So there's a couple of different ways they can go down, but in terms of fresh evidence, they can't really bring too much more to the table. So everything they used last night, they've basically regurgitate, and basically claim that there's been an error of law, as opposed to anything fresh that they've sort of waded through vision-wise. Is there a common sense law? Yeah. Yeah. So keep the game more? Yeah. And it's an interesting one. I've read it somewhere online. Maybe you've been, you guys, discussing it earlier this morning, whether, you know, like, I think a lot of people in footy would look at that and think three weeks is excessive. Would you say that yes, it was a football accident, yes, the players can cast and that's one on two. Like right now, under the matrix, in a way, the AFL draw up these rules, it's basically three or nothing. Like there's no middle ground. So I wonder whether that in time, we could see something coming in that world where, you know, there is room, a bit of wiggle room, you know, there's, there's no exact movement on that yet. But it's just one of those ones that can see that because the club's are structured ahead as to how these have come out and spat out the way they have. Which Cleary Channel 740 Reporter is online. Dean Cox comes to West Coast. So the pieces of the puzzle go like this, Pike Cox, Chad Warner. To be honest, and I've been thinking about this a lot, guys, if you've just had Warner and you're weighing up the eagles of the Dockers in the next 12 months, you'd have to put that into consideration in the, when you're drawing up your whiteboard and I heard Jeremy Cameron talking about this recently about the pros and cons they drop when he decided to leave the Giants. You'd have to have that in the pros column given the connection he's had with both and both coaching him for some time at the Swans. You know, clearly the officers will be there from both clubs and there needs to be some sort of way to get an advantage over the others. So yeah, if it's 50-50, maybe that could tip it, 51-49 eagles way if they are to lure with Dean Cox. Now the Swans are confident that Cox stays, but I guess the question is how long can you stay without any formal succession plan written in play? So you should say that John Longline doesn't want to coach you on the four or five years and, you know, the way footy works, Dean Cox could be out of favor, you know, he's a brilliant coach from all reports, but these come and go, like there's only so many senior coaching roles and yeah, I don't know how long you can weigh around and just expect things will fall your way if there's no formality to it. Hey, on the back of Adam Simpson, and we've all talked about, you know, Adam Simpson will be bringing anything to football, has there been, have you at the call face of journalism over there, maybe footy journalism, been sounding out whether there is a future for Adam Simpson at another club next year? I think it's a little early for clubs to make in those hard approaches, but I was doing the numbers last week. I reckon there's 12 of the other 17 clubs that have a connection to Adam Simpson, whether that be through their CEO, their footy boss, their current AFL coach or assistant coaches. The one that I continue to look at is the North Melbourne, and I spoke on talking pretty last week about he was a club for North Melbourne, could Clark over bring him in for a bit of experience, and I know he's incredibly close to Luke Beveridge, so they're just two that I'm keeping an eye on. But in terms of hard and fast approaches to, you know, nothing of note that I've come across yet, he's very close with Peter Bell, and I know he coached with just along the field previously as well, so, you know, he wouldn't rule that out, would you? I would. Just ask Gossmitch, just ask Gossmitch, he won't be at Freeo, but Will Brody might not be at Freeo either. What's your view on his, he's, we're staggered by this, aren't we, we are staggered. We understand now he's not getting the game, but the midfield is strong. midfield is strong, which is that again, then you can extend that to Warner, who goes when Warner, if Warner comes to free man or is that the piece that I'm not sure, so there's a bit more of that, but he's your anthem on Will Brody and Gossmitch was alluding to? The hard thing right now is these big bodied mids that aren't as explosive as a Chad Warner, the ones that sort of are more of a clearance focus, they're sort of just, they're not just even there, for them like it was four or five years ago, they sort of sit in this, you know, like George Stewart, for example, at Carlton, similar player, like he's more of a center-balanced player, he can't play a lot of other roles on the ground. They just fall out of favor because clubs are so desperate for this explosive burst, midfielder like a Chad Warner in their side, they think they can only get away with one or two Macs of these, you know, inside balls. So I haven't heard of any strong market for Will Brody, I'm sure he's been doing the work to try and find somewhere, wouldn't shock me if you found a new home, but I haven't heard of any yet. Now Mitch, you are the best in the business, you are across everything and you do it the right way as well, which is why everyone loves you, you're not a jump out of bin sort of bloke, is there a story or a place, and I'm not asking you what it is, but is there a club or a play or something like that that you're building a story on right now that you've heard something about? I don't want details, I asked Goss the other day, what's going to be the news in three weeks time because he's just on fire at the moment, have you got something brewing that might bounce in the next few days? Maybe on next few days, but next few weeks, at least some of the players we haven't spoken about in trade, then Scotty, so the players that contracted, we only found out about Locky Neil late in the past, the year he went from Frio Brisbane, Jason Von Francis, Bob D'Up late, I reckon there's one or two players that are contracted, just doing some work behind the things and finding your home. That was a yes, man, it's always got something when he's walking the dog, he's not just walking the dog, he's thinking he's the concert turning, hey Mitch, always appreciate your time, we thank you and we love seeing your stuff, you've still got a very prominent name over here, because we didn't remind Daniels to holiday his last week when Adam Simpson got the sack, it was just music to my ears that he wasn't in town, but you were always hanging around, we appreciate it. No, and it's good to see you back on social media, Goss, you're hard man to tie down, so good to be a bit here, he's put on a hangover. One tweet doesn't make you summer, so just he's not back? I'm not back, thank you Mitch, appreciate it, good on your mate and it's period.
