I mean it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. How are there still people paying two or three times that much? I'm sorry I shouldn't be victim blaming here.

There's a few people it said to me pike is probably reticent to employed doing Cox because they coached together of course as part of the assistant group and pike probably still thinks he could be coaching. Oh wow. Let's let's break new ground and have you know there's been Captain Cote. There's never been any coach CEO coach. Wouldn't a fully department get some funding and hey I'm telling you now. Oh hey pike he's got a fairly decent coaching record. This is quietly. Do it do it CEO coach. You'd have to have a pretty good to I see. He doesn't have to be the CEO. He doesn't need to sleep. He doesn't need the money either. He doesn't have to be the CEO. So all right question without notice is Don pike a candidate to coach West Coast? It's not unrealistic Scott. If Adam says unless Don pike comes out and says I'm not going to put my hand up. If Don pike doesn't slide into that position as CEO replacing Trevor News but I am going to tell you now his name would be talked about at the top of the list. Don't don't don't don't. Interesting. Wow. Wouldn't that be a wouldn't that be a backroom shady deal going on there. Pikey coach. What would suggest to you right now or to any of our listeners that Don pike is not a candidate. I agree. If Don pike was still a senior assistant at Sydney and they're going through this. People would be calling for Don pike right now. 100%. If Don pike was sitting in a Sydney swans coach's box and West Coast were looking to find a replacement Don pike's name would be at the forefront of the chances. Get out of that everyone. Don't pike in the mix. Until Don pike blasted off. Which he would he wouldn't scoff it off from. He gets a better replacement if they want to make a change which we think they will at the end of the year. Scott Grant Thomas Malcolm Blight sort of backroom sort of shady stuff. He's throwing it out there. Oh he's a good coach. Just throwing it out there. Well at the moment he's the CEO of one of the worst teams in the competition so he's not doing a great job in that role. He might have been joking Don. He won't be listening. Don pike certainly the more I thought about that. Some people would easily laugh that off but it's not that crazy. Don pike's coaching record is 61% winning in four years. He's got a finals record of five finals. He's three and two. Yes he lost a grand final. Yeah he's been record he's good enough to hold his own and he was coaching in 29 days. And that's the thing. You look at the sort of person Don pike is. He's hard but he's fair. He's likeable. There's no doubt about that. All his teammates loved him and people that deal with Don pike. I think pike he's a great bloke but he's also he's got that hardness about him as well but could possibly bring a new edge to it. And it's not a ludicrous comment. Better coaching win loss record percentage win loss record than the current coaches. Hinkley, Goodwin, Fagan, Lyon, Kingsley, Clarkson, Beveridge, Hardwick, Longviewer, Scott, Simpson, Voss, Mitchell, Nix. He has a better win. He's got a better winning record than all of those coaches. They're already coach for four years and was assisting coach up to last year at Sydney. So it's not like he's been long out of the game. The only thing that hurt him was the camp where he sort of probably didn't pay enough attention to that one. You just sort of let that one roll on for a bit too long. Anyway, there you go. So look, the more that we're trying to convince ourselves that maybe Don pike should, we're not saying Don, just so we're just 100% film. We're not saying Don pike's going to get the job. No, no. But it's really sick to suggest that if they have to make a change as a football club where the board wouldn't go to Don pike, he'd say, well, you're only six months out of the game and six months in this job. You probably still got linoment on your hands and you're probably sniffing a bit of linoment as the CEO of the football club. Are you completely out of realms of being able to coach an AFL team? Because if he wasn't in the role as CEO and he was still at Sydney, his name would be talked about ad nauseam. Absolutely. Absolutely would be. And you know what, when you're a football coach, whether it's been for four years or it's been for 10 years, you still look at the game as a football coach. So he's still watching games of footy now, not standing there waving pom poms. He's watching going, what should they do here? He's looking at it as a coach. So he's not out of touch with it. It's 60.8% winning percentage record Don pike. Not bad. I repeat. Only four years though. So we've got to keep that in mind. I know Chris has been coaching with 12, Inkley 12. I repeat. See my 11. Craig McCray, Chris Scott, John Longmire have better win loss records. Fly has been in it three years. John Longmire, that's massive. John Pike's coaching record is better than Hinkley, Goodwin, Fagan, Lyon, Kingsley, Clarkson, Beveridge, Hardwick, Longmure, Scott, Simpson, and Voss, and Mitchell, and Nix. Just park it there. Tom says maybe Don Pike should be in from coach then as of this week. He said it'd be a big call to make a CEO, say the coaches. I'll do it. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. The big call to make a CEO, say the coaches. I'll do it. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. The big call to make a CEO, say the coaches. I'll do it. I'm doing it. The big call to make a CEO, say the coaches. I'll do it. I'm doing it.
