[MUSIC PLAYING] Morning, everyone. 4.5.6, took your depot studio for this Tuesday morning. Sonos, multi-room, listening, wireless home theater, and a whole lot more experience the game changing sound width, Sonos 13, 1255, or 0487736736. Our fine loans are always open for you. We'd love to hear your voices. We do get a lot of feedback on our text line, and we're probably going to get some, too, in regards to what happened last night, India 5205 Australia, all out for-- sorry, making 181, 74181. So we all of a sudden have an interest in the T20 World Cup, Scotty. Because today, we require Bangladesh to be the Afghanistan. And I've always said, if you cannot rely on Bangladesh to win your game of cricket, then what can you rely on in this world? That's a bad time for Australia. I haven't really been that invested in it, but I am now. So am I. And it sort of piqued my interest when we lost to Afghanistan. It was a hard one to understand and get my head around. But we're in strife. That we are, Rowitz Sharma, 92 of 41 bulls opening the batting for India, 7486ers. Pat Cummins went for 48 of his four overs. Hazelwood Bowl really well, got one for 14. The batting, Travis Headmade 76, Mitch Marshmade 37. But we lost easy. Did Mitchell Stark play? I don't know, did he? [LAUGHTER] I just checked for him. Was it-- he didn't? He did. No, he paid. Because they rested him against Afghanistan, which seemed to be a really strange move. Yeah, when it's dark, too. 2 for 45. 2 for 45. Hazelwood, 1 for 14. Cummins, number 48. Zampa, number 41. Stormis, 2 for 56. Oh, a carton. Yeah. In the batting, innings, Australia. Warner made six, Travis Headmade 76. Is that it for Warner now? Is he finished? Is that officially the retirement? Is he done? He's finished. He's done. All righty. He's done. And now we sit back and watch him put everyone around San Parregate and tipped the lid on the world. Mitch Marsh, 37. Glenn Maxwell, 20. I just saw he's a swoose on the TV. It was terrible. He just went for a big hoyk and completely missed it. Stormis 2, Tim David, 15. Matthew Wade, I think he's done, too. That's all over now. He got one. It's just for anything. No, well, he's got to be done, surely. I can't even believe he's still in the team. No. We were Josh Ingles. Exactly. I know we need to put a broom through Korea, Australia. This is the buckle. What do we say? What do we go? They go, I don't know. It's a Mickey Mouse comedy. Yeah, it's not. We don't care, because I care. It's not Mickey Mouse. It's not Mickey Mouse at all. It's a World Cup in Australia, which is a point. If you want to have a say on that, 13, 12, 55, 0, 4, 8, 7, 7, 3, 6, 7, 3, 6, if you have any changes you'd like to make at the top end of cricket, that hasn't taken you as a coach. What is that? 13, 12, 55. I wonder where all the lovers are. Morning's gone, Wade's gone as far as we can see. Where are all the lovers of Ronald McDonald are right now? Are they gone quiet? They've gone back into their little boxes, have they? Not that he can be blamed for it completely. But he's the coach, and the buck stops there. Blame the last coach. Big show coming up. We actually weren't going to, but we are now. We're going to get Bryce McGain on. He's done it again. Yeah, Neil, tell us the truth. He will. There's some Paul Punches. No. Gary Lyon's going to join us after 7 o'clock, so if you've got a question for Gaddy, the SCN Breakfast Host, Fox Footy, let us know. Just text us, or give us a call, 0487736736 or 131255. Drew Jones talking all things footy. And Scottie's power ranking's now. So we're now 14 games in. So all the buys are done, that ridiculous three-week buy stuff that drove me mad. I should just do it in one weekend. Give everyone a spell. Give us everyone a spell in one weekend, bang. And then we're back into it. Yeah, the broadcaster won't cop that. Can I make mention two? One weekend off? Yeah, not the broadcasters, no. That's how they roll, mate. But can I, like mention, of Channel 7, an article that was penned on WA Today, and I saw it last night and it saddened me. What was it? There's 150 jobs set to go from 7 West Media, which includes the paper, the TV, they're online, 150 across the section of all, and it's really sad. It's a really tight industry at the best of times. And whether you're like Channel 7 and you like their style or whatever it may be, I think our thoughts go out with anyone who in this industry... Loose and jobs. Yeah, loose jobs. In this time. Correct. Correct, correct, correct, and not many jobs to go to. And when you're a young person coming through the industry, and I've speak to a lot of young people who want to go down the media track, whether it be on camera, off-camera, radio, TV, whatever, or print, when you're losing 150 jobs at 7 West Media across the board, and there's been a bit going on at Channel 7 for some time, and they're doing a massive shake-up at 7 West Media, your thoughts go out with some of the innocent. Of course. By standards who are going to sadly lose their job. So, again, just on a heartfelt note, I want to send a big cheerio out to anyone who's feeling the pressure, and they've put out for redundancies at the moment, and when that process goes through, there's going to be some people who lose their jobs who don't want to. How many of those in WY... There'll be a few, quite a few. Over-east. Quite a few, it's a... Yeah. Yeah, across the board. Ugly? Ugly, yeah, well spoken. I agree with you, we can't say it to all of them. And it's not about them versus us, it's an industry on a whole... It's people with jobs. Yeah, exactly right. Lisa from Alan Brooks, giving us a call, 131255. Took a depot, open line is open for you. Lisa, good morning. Morning, guys. Morning, Scotty. There's jobs going everywhere, isn't there? It's just awful at the moment. Thanks. First of all, I just want to say well down to Jake Waterman for speaking on the couch last night. He did a great job, the young man. And our cricketers are just a bloody rabble. Like, please, you know, sweating on Bangladesh. Oh, you wouldn't have made it. Um, I don't know whether you saw, I thought on the couch last night, and I didn't actually see it in the game. But that Sydney player, who threw that other guy to the ground. And the exact same thing is what Harley Reid did. Harley Reid got two weeks, and yet this Sydney player did not get even sighted. So, I don't know whether you guys saw it and I didn't see it. But we're back to the same. One of our listeners will, and we'll all try and track it down right there. Yes, so Harley Reid's back this week, which is good news. And interesting, I'd noticed that, and thank you, Lisa, we'll keep an eye on that. But interesting enough. Check that one out. Yeah. Ryan Daniels is going with Tim Calley, looks like returning. And that's in conflict to the word we got. Information you and Daffy might not be a little longer. Yeah, it might be a little longer. So, but Ryan's at the cold face, and he does that. He's a Juno, so he's... Wait and see. He's there, oh, Mark, that feels a Juno. In fact, he's the best, but Ryan's a bit more at the cold face of graft and grind and going to watch training in the likes. Or has he gone in? He's got that too. Hey, Roy says, "I was just need a young Gastrodana, seven banana." And what was the run rate? No, Roy, Roy. I know, you've got to read that. No, Roy, it was nine for eight, seven for one, seven for nine, a bowling average of 3.6, and the trophy's in my car. Well, you're given, Murray, you're just driving around with it. Yeah. Well, in case someone wants to see it. Yeah. It's in my car. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Well, wait right there. I'll be right back. That sort of stuff. Why is it in the car? Because for that very reason, which people... I'm getting a lot of people stopping me in the street who are saying... Don't believe it. Don't believe it. Don't believe it. About the bowling average of 3.6, and I'm telling you, I have the trophy to prove it. I found it in the shed when I was changing over storage, and I've also got the outstanding performance trophy there as well. Are they dates on these, I mean, because you just whipped down to the trophy store and just knocked off. No, mate. Or if you felt the trophy, you'd know it was from the '97s. Right? Was that '97, '78? Oh. They're famous. I'm a '77, '78. I don't believe you carry that around with you, too. All right, everyone's the last time someone asked you about it. You're on the road a lot yesterday. You're in. Again, a lot of people will ask me about the bowling figures when I'm somewhere doing a hosting or something. They go, "Where are the bowling figures, mate?" And I just rattle them off, 9 for 8, 7, 1, 7, 1, 3, consecutive weeks, bowling average of 3.6. And I've got the trophy to prove it. I also got a hat trick, and the hat trick is actually in print. The Sunday Times used to do all the junior cricket scores, and it says, "Gosage, Mara's blue, four for three, in brackets, including hat trick." Fact! Thank you. I did. Is it allowable? No, not most days. Do you have a little bit of variety? No, I just saw some steam engine. I just went down as quick as I possibly could. Anyway. Okay, that's good to know. There you go. Alex Pierce out has to be the biggest hole left in the game plan, 100% at least massive for them. And you know what? It really is, because when they're under pressure, we can, we can't. He stands up. Well, as soon as he went off the ground, they looked a little bit disjointed down back. And they looked short. Shall I get Draper? Draper has to come back in, I would imagine? This is where Oscar McDonough would be handy. That's the frightening thing, though. That's the frightening thing. Like Draper, who was omitted for four reasons, has now is forced to come back in. It's a recall. Because of an injury. Is his confidence back? How much are you going to rely on him to make it? He's played enough footy now. I understand. But when you get dropped, it is pretty deflating. And you generally need to get a little bit of faith back in yourself. And I'm not sure that's happened in a week, but anyway. A bit of a few texts coming in. We'll get to those in a brief moment. If I'll go to this one now, the matter got up masters trophy resides in the home of Scotty from base. What are you? But that wasn't you? It was Ally. Yeah, it was Ally, mate. Yeah, he's a star. Yeah, that's... Don't try and cut. Mate, just because you wanted all of a sudden bio manager. Yeah, you were bordering on you. You were not even a catty. Yeah, exactly. You're a competitor, and she pants. You were outside the ropes. He didn't say to me. He said, "I'm just going to do this. I said, 'Yeah. I'm good on your champ. I think I'm chanting. He's good on your champ, and then I watched and he did exactly what he was saying. Paul Christani. Most people would just take a picture of it, but he's got it in the car in case he bumps into me. That's a good point. I feel the trophy. So, Christani, I can't show him a picture because he can't see the bloody thing. It's very, very funny. It's very funny. Did you know the other day we were commentating, and Hayes and I lost complete interest like you did across the road of this game here? So Hayes and I got talking about a whole range of other things during the game. I think Cricket got a mention. On Sunday. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I went through the entire menu of the Boab Tavern. I know you did. I said, "I'm tearing right near. This game doesn't improve. I'm going to hit you up with desserts pretty soon." Hey. I went through the starters and the mains. What made a request? Can we actually commentate the footy because if I was deaf, it wouldn't matter if he's heading east and that was going on. No, but there was nothing going on. No, nothing going on. There's just a little insight. If we start losing our way during a call, it's because there is nothing going on. I think there was about nine ball ups in a row. It was a hard watch for a while. So we got distracted. I started talking about the four in a grand rubo at the bar, that got me going. So, Christani doesn't see the thing with Christani, because we know he can't see. He can't really comment on whether it was a good game or not. He can only go by the way we paint the picture. What he does do is he makes a very good point, paint the picture. All young commentators paint the picture constantly, because you are painting for people like Paul, who relies on our commentary. I do remember it. That's right. You do feel bad afterwards, but we sort of get distracted in the fact that the game was shocking and you're trying to have a laugh and make it a half entertaining. But I do remember a game in myself and Huchie and Dwayne, and I think it was me and Paul Williams doing special comments for another network, and the game was so bad. We were right off tap and got complaints, and we were like, "Oh, look, the game was shocking." Then a person rang in and complained, "Who was blind?" And made us all just go, "Yeah, okay. Got that." Again, I'll just say, if we are off tap during the call, it's because the game is going nowhere. It's absolutely hella trying to give you a laugh along the way for a few minutes. Paul from Wellards chimed in. Haven't seen any news on the Chapman tackle? What did he get, Goss? Yeah. Interesting, eh? I was listening in and looking around and... Well, that's... It should have come through yesterday, didn't it? It would have thought so. It would have come through. It would have. It would have got the list. So, yeah, I thought he got lucky. Then Chris Kofrinus was right there. I think there's no doubt there was a sling motion, but anyway, hey, well done. I thought he was under pressure. So, yep. Sometimes it's good to be forgotten over here. Yep. No, he says, like the real estate world, there are too many on-air on camera baby boomers holding onto their jobs. No, no, it's not there. No. No. No. No. No. What have you been doing at 12 months now? Yes. What was that? Are you laughing at the real estate comment? You think that's funny? No. He just said, like the real estate world, there's too many on-air on camera baby boomers holding onto their jobs. That's all. I just... I think that's funny, do you know? Ah, a little bit. Baby boomers are the ones with the mortgages. It's the snotty-nose kids who don't have a mortgage. No, it's the snotty-nose. Kids blame the baby boomers for everything that's gone wrong in the world. You ungrateful little turds, which I'm not a baby. Er... Righty. This is from 4-4-2. Can you just read this out? Morning fillers. Boy, feelers. What do they know? Have you got the name of the poor opposition side that Goss ripped through with the ball? Yes. Yes. Caponara. Was Paul from Gostles the hope nomen? Oh! Hey, let Paul tell the blind jokes, not the other one. Exactly right. It's offensive. Exactly right. I have watched Blind Cricket with the ball. Oh, it's incredible. Incredible. The bell is incredible. Yeah. That's what we did for Paul. And when the bell stops... We put a bell in the ball and someone was going to wave the flag for him, he didn't ball it turned up. But interesting enough that if you do hit it, and of course there's a bell in the ball, and it goes to the outfield, and the ball stops ringing, there's a real issue finding it then. The ball stops moving. There's no bell making any noise. I think once it stops it's got to be retrieved by the leader. Well, we have this joke because... Christani. Paul is bloody funny. He's the funniest man going around. I'm just picturing that in my head right now, that the balls run out of puff. Yep. It hasn't got to the boundary fence. No. Christani? No. Christani? Oh, no. Christani? Can we... Christani? Christani on the phone. Yeah. He'll give us the insight into Blind Cricket. What happens there? There's helpers. People are around, of course. Christani on the phone right now, if we can, 131255, 0487736736, because we can talk about all these things. Scotty from Scarborough. Surprised about the Chapman tackle. I didn't see it, but I heard a thump. It's like KK. KK. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Right there. Are you sure you saw it? Yeah. I don't know if you didn't see it, mate. You just smashed his head in the ground, didn't he? Lucky to be alive. Lucky to be alive. How did that end of your sports update? You gave us the full play-by-play on that tackle. Answer your phone, Christani, 131255, unless he's offended, 19 away. I don't think he is. Nice, he's never... Rippin' man. He's a ripper. 20 past 6, 5.4 degrees. It's warming up for a top of 18 degrees, partly cloudy to... Can you get it? He's trying to fly the phone. He'll get it. Christani, can you come to the phone? The phone plays before this gets a whole lot worse. Love for Christani. Hey, Jake Waterman, as mentioned, by Lisa from Ellum Brook, was on the couch last night. He had this to say, as we go to the break, about Adam Simpson and coach the West Coast Eagles. As a leadership group, were you reaching out to support him as much as he was supporting you guys? Yeah, yeah, I guess. But it's him who has always been so consistent in his messaging, and at times, the last year, you feel so sorry for him, because he's got this way that he wants us to play, but probably with the cattle we've had out there, we haven't been able to put it into practice, so at times, it's so difficult for him, and he's come back this year, so energised with the team and where we're going, and I think he's going up another level on his coaching commitment. Yeah, the energy he's brought to the group this year and the confidence he's instilled within the younger players, yeah, has showed on Game Day. ♪ I feel like I understand ♪ ♪ I see clearly ♪ Birthdays, events, and some of the great moments in history.

You know, Craig Johnson booted with the predator. Right. David Myers, who played at Subie and Claremont, and he's the dad of Grian Myers. Right. He's invented the blades. Which I've mentioned $1000. Every time I see Grian Myers play. Oh, he's old man. No one says anything. No one reacts. That's a good stat. It's been useless for me. No. Yeah. Once you get total once, you probably don't hear it again. It's like someone with a basketball in background. You know, he said a basketball in background. Oh, a steeple chaser. Interesting enough, David Myers got eight weeks for kicking. And then went to Clem got sacked by Subie. Great weeks for kicking. They don't understand that. What? Swan should have been 12. And then he went to Claremont and got reported for hitting somebody. And he got four. And he got sent from there as well. Wow, angry. Yeah, exactly. That's a little man. We're going to get to Paul Christani of Gosnell's in a moment. We've called Paul. We want to touch base with him in regards to blind cricket. And he's pretty close to the action, let me tell you. But in the meantime, let's do this. So much going on. This show is random. Breakfast power by Kubota. Take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors. Mo is in utility vehicles. Chris? Good morning. Free man always awaiting the results of scans on Alex Pierce's arm injury that saw him leave the field in that win over Gold Coast. And the word is that it could be a fracture. So wait and see. It's only something you don't have a scan. They would have seen that. They've got to now work out. Do they plate it or is it? It looked all of that. Look broken fractured type set up. Didn't look good. Didn't look good at all. Will you run in front of that too? No, that was kind of the other side of the round for me. Hey, Chad was right in front of me. Ugly, ugly stuff. One of the worst I've seen. Describe it. Well, he slung him into the ground sky and it has smashed into the turf of what's just dating. It was Barry. It was Barry. It was Jerry Barry. No, it wasn't Jerry. Are you surprised? Sam Barry. Tom Barry. Are you surprised? How many Barrys are there in the NFL? Barry? He was surprised. He was surprised. There's been nothing on that. What did you say then? Rasp! Oh, I'm a little bit surprised. We'll say Andrew in the commentary. Dingle. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck Barry. You're the judge for this show. Keep us on track. No, this is good stuff. Imagine if Chuck Barry was out there. If we had slung him or Chuck. Imagine if we had slung him or Chuck. Imagine if it were a good way for you to do a sport show. Oh. No, thank you. Go on. So, answer my question. Yeah. Should you go on a week? Um. Boys. No. Happy he didn't. Poison. Oh, I said he did. Hey, that was the way he done himself. Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Oh my God. Mate. Did you drive? I was just basically letting you wear himself out. Yeah, it will take a little bit. It will take a little bit. It will take a little nap. It will take a little nap. Get it out of his system and then we can move on. Um. No, yeah, I'm a little bit surprised, but I'm also happy because he was having a cracking game and good to see him back in fair colors and out there on the field and they will need him now that Hugs Pierce is going to be on the sidelines for a little while, hopefully not too long. Australia, basically out of the World Cup, we'll chat to Bryce McGain about that in just a moment. And England, France and the Netherlands have qualified for the knockout stages of Euro 2024 as Albania lost 1-0 to Spain overnight and we saw so Croatia and Italy play out to a 1-0 draw. A late goal for Italy securing them. Yeah, you've killed yourself here. You've killed yourself here. You've killed your body. Your destination rocks. Oh, it mentioned them. That'd be wrapped. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, for the next four days. Your irrigation pump and filtration products, especially as his nutrient water, visit nutrientwater.com.au. Scott, he's over in the arms. This is on. Did you see Pierce's injury KK or did you just hear a crack? He's on your case. He's all over you. Look at sheep's seat. Hey, let's go to Paul Christani. He's our man. We love Paul. We've got the best sense of humor. We do make light of him at times with some of the stuff we say with him, but he plays along with it. We got him on because we mentioned about blind cricket. We want to know what happened. What happened? When the ball stops are moving. Focus starting. Good morning. Good morning, boys. What happened when the ball stops moving? Yeah, so the ball stops. It makes noise when it is moving. When it stops there, in blind cricket, there are people that are divided into different. I was like category, so you've got people who are totally blind. People can see only a tiny little bit. A little bit more. The ones that can see the most have approximately 10% vision. One of the teammates who has more vision will give directions to a totally blind player who might be nearby or just run over and get it themselves. How do you set your field then? This is a serious question. How do you set your field with the categories of vision impairment? The people that can see 10% are out in the fence? Are they in close for the sharp one? Yeah, they are. The people with the most vision would be in the place where the ball is most likely to go. And that would be just a matter of knowing who your good films are and the Whitaker and Captain kind of has to take care of all that. You seem to know a lot about blind cricket. About 8 or 9, maybe about 10 or 12 years ago, I did Captain the Venetians for a season. The Venetians is the WA blind cricket. And my partner Deann, she's actually in the Australian Women's Program. She played in the final, the first ever final that happened in the women's competition. Australia played India at Edgemeft in last September. So good. How good was that? Yeah. What's her name? Paul Deann, was it? Deann Ferris. How did she go? She's about in the middle order. I think she scored a run. The team didn't win. But they made the grand final and that was a good effort. That's absolutely brilliant. This on the program has sort of been running, started probably about a year ago. She's been playing for the Venetians for a very long time, you know, 16, 17, 18 years, maybe. And, you know, in fact, they have training camps three or four times a year. She's off to Brisbane within the next month for another training camp. Amazing. I love that. And interesting enough. I remember I reckon we touched on this last year with the Venetians. It is the coolest name. It is a great name. It's your favourite biscuit. It is my favourite biscuit, too. Yeah, it's right. So there we go. Two favourite things. That is so cool. So the Venetians cricket team, obviously, there's not a massive amount of blind people in this state that play cricket. So they do get together and they play against social teams often. So, you know, people will get a group together and go and have a social game of cricket against the Western Australian blind team. And a lot of people get a lot out of it. Some Greek students like a team building exercise or whatever. So, you know, if the end wanted to get a team together, I'm sure they'd accommodate them. That sounds like a lot of fun. Absolutely. Just what'll happen is we'll all put blindfolds on. Gossle bowl, and he'll just say that he's got us out. Just to keep it there, just to keep it here. You can see it, but that was plum. You're out. Yeah, so they don't actually get people to be blindfolded normally. They just play with the rules that the Venetians team use. And the fact that the bowl is being rolled along the ground rather than through the air. And it's a slightly different ball to what most people would play in the backyard really does even it up because these guys are playing with it every week. And you guys are playing with it for the first time. So you're not going to be blindfolded. There is the option to wear different glasses. So there might be glasses that replicate different conditions. So you might have, like I said, a blurry glasses or you might have glasses that have a big spot in the middle or the sides are blocked out. But you can see straight out the front. So there's a whole range of different ways you can go about it. But I think a lot of people that do participate in really get a lot out of it. Appreciate it. Hey, we're going to get you in the studio. Would you mind coming into the studio in a week's coming up when we've got a day we'd like to have you in the studio? Because not just to talk about the Venetians and blind cricket, but you are a mad passionate sports fan. Your son Toby sits at Games and Wildcats Games has been well documented and commentates the basketball to you live so you can know what's going on. We want to get you in because we're intrigued and you've always intrigued us. One is our listener and your knowledge. And the fact is that you survive on radio and you survive on commentary, but your knowledge of the game is equal to that second to none, mate. Can we get you in one day and have a chat about life as a blind sports fan? Yeah, I'd like to do that. Great. We'll get you in. We'll make some details. You want to know your poor Castani from God. It's a beautiful story and his knowledge is seriously. Yeah, pardon? He's going to get in here. So I look forward to it. He's not driving in. What? I said, well, clear the road. We'll clear the road for him. All righty, let's get a break away and come back. That was pretty interesting. Again, I love it. I love the Venetians. We've got to get behind them. Yeah, Dave says gooseberry. Goose. All righty. 30, 12, 50, 5, 0, 5, 7, 7, 3, 6, 7, 3, 6. Bryce McGain, Australia lost the cricket last night. We require Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan for us to advance. Yeah, I'll just get zero done. 16 away from seven o'clock. Scotty and Goss, we're just going to take a couple of moments to chat with Bryce McGain. The SEM superstar knows all these things. We spoke to Bryce last week. He said, "It's just a matter of the margin. Australia advanced to the next stage." Wow. Bryce, we've woken up this morning, beaten by India, and now waiting on the result between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. I've never been more excited about Bangladesh winning a game of cricket in all my life. Yeah, it's all gone pear-shaped, Goss. It overnighted. Well, it happened when we slipped up earlier against Afghanistan, and it's true, we were pretty brave last night, but it was a row at Sharma that just put on a power-hitting clinic at the top of the Indian order, and it just propelled them to a score over 200. The risk contributed nicely, but he was just in another league, and no one really matched it. Travis was pretty useful with the bat, but wasn't able to match those heroics to that Indian captain, and he set the scene for, unfortunately, and obviously lost. It needs to be some heads rolling here, Bryce, unless it's happened. Who do we blame? Who do we attack? Who do we go after? Wow. Yeah, look, I'm not sure. Look, I think I was so buoyed about Australian. I was so buoyed about Australian, I always am, but Australia got great players. Look, it often happens. It's one over. The cost here is a game. The final margin, 24 runs early on. It's got hit for 29 off and over, and that was row at Sharma at his absolute pop, and just turning it on. Look, that's what happens in T20 cricket. He then came back later on, and it looked like he had two overs that had gone for 30 plus. It looked like a mess, a car wreck. He came on a knock him up a lot later on, which saved us more damage anyway, and so he bounced back really well, so it's not necessarily his fault, but sometimes the opposition can do that, and we know that India are just talent after talent. Every batsman that came out, they've got this prototype now, this six foot three powerhouse hitters, and they've got three of them in their middle order. Their next league now, India, their lineup, they've got bowling options to do it all, spin it both ways, and swing the ball. It's theirs to lose, I reckon, from here, India are looking really, really good to win the tournament. An interesting, so I think they play England next, but, you know, what, under England, for advancing to the next stage, Australia's staring down the barrel of knot, so he who laughs, laughs, laughs loudest and longest. Yeah, they do indeed. Yeah, look, as you say, Bangladesh, all our cards are there. That's only about an hour and a quarter away from kicking off, or maybe a touch longer, but we're going to know this morning what our fates, and, as you say, all eyes on Bangladesh. Yeah, Chandra, her senior coach is them. Now, he did a lot of work in New South Wales, who's a head coach at New South Wales, so maybe he's Australian heritage. It's your Lincoln Test player, but maybe he can help us over the line. They'll be really well-planned, and they do play an abrasive style, so maybe that can upset the Afghanistanis, but look, we won't see. We'll know our fucking about three and a half hours, I reckon. I just quickly to finish up them, Bryce. Who wins? Bangladesh, any chance at all? Oh, look, they are a chance, and they have performed well, and they deserve their spot in the super-aid, so we're not without a hope, but Afghanistan on the height of knocking off Australia, she had to look past that sort of form. They gave us a good touch-up, so, look, fingers crossed for Australia that we can continue on in the semis, we deserve it, and it will be a shame if we don't make the semis, it'll be a real disappointment. Hey, Bryce, one really quick one before you have to get a breakaway before news. One of our callers, Daryl, who's very, very vigilant across all these things. He reckons, could you ask Bryce, in regards to David Warner's comments about bringing up sandpaper, while the team's trying to win a tournament, as a sportsman who played in teams, do you think this was selfish in if Warner was going to go nuclear, should he have been selected in the first place, given his recent form? This is why I love the SCN, the community, the audience, they're right on the money. Why on earth, in the middle of a World Cup, would you be bringing that stuff up? Yeah. And saying you're the scapegoat, and I coped it all for everyone, you're upsetting everyone in your team. Like, you're not the hero here. My words put it behind us. We're here to win a World Cup. I thought it was pretty selfish, and again, it was just protecting his own backside, and I'm really, really disappointed in the height of what they're trying to achieve there. They had the opportunity to win three titles. Well, would you do anything that would upset anyone else in your team? Yeah, I think that's a bit of explaining to do from Dave Warner, but he's out the door after this tournament. He'd spare you well. See you later, Bryce McGain. Appreciate your time, Bryce. And see you later, David Warner. Good on you, mate. Appreciate it. SCN cricket expert. Great that he would talk to us. So all eyes on the team. Yeah, fantastic. Good question, too, from Darrell, who normally rings up in about five to eight, but he says that'll be best for the pre-seven o'clock time. Good question, Darrell, and I 100% agree with Bryce. Power reckoners after seven o'clock. He says all you need to know about him. And just after that, Gary Lyon drew Jones all things free. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Power round of passion. Oh. Power round of passion. Oh. Oh. It's probably been waiting for this all day. Yep. Scotty's power rankings, 14 games in. And Scotty just basically has now nine weeks to shuffle his order around and come up with the 10 most influential players. At 10, it's Patrick Crips. Nine, Caleb's the wrong. Eight max score. Seven Charlie Kurno. Six Zach Merritt. Fire O'Gordon. Four Chad Warner. Three markers. Bontom Pelley. Two Nick Deschausen. One Isaac Haney going into the round. Yeah, it's big. I've just got a change of orders. There's no ins or outs at the moment. And Patty Crips has come down the list, or has he gone up the list? What did you just clear last week? Well, if you start at 10 and you're going down the list, or you're saying you're going up in the... Well, your rankings are one to 10. So you're at the top of the set. He's gone up in the rankings. Thank you. Caleb Sirrong's hanging on at 10. Okay. He was good on the weekend. He was good. He was good. He wasn't their best. But he was good. They still got the job done. Again, and I'm not saying this to try and antagonize Ray, or free-mount supporters whatsoever. The thing about Caleb's wrong is just they need him to play well. There's no doubt about that. But they can still win if he doesn't. And what he does with the foot, he doesn't create scoring opportunity. Does it really hurt the opposition as much as some of these other players? At least. That's my only thing. Yeah. It could be absolutely wrong. Yeah. But what I find intriguing in this whole description of the power rankings is that you go to great lengths to justify the ins and outs of Caleb Sirrong, but you don't do it for a lot of other people in the list. Well, because I don't feel that, do you? I feel like you say... Yeah. I feel like you're nervous about where you're placing Caleb Sirrong. Like you're feeling the pressure. Well, I was the only West Australian player in the list. No, I'm Chad Warner's West Australia. W.A. based on you. Yeah. And that's what it is. I'm not a clickbait person, right? I don't do these things for to get a reaction or any stuff like that. You're alive! No, I'm just not. I don't do it. So that's what I use. I feel about to justify. It sure is. It really sounds like. No, I don't want to go down that path. But I feel I need, because you get, obviously, the interaction and the reactions from people is about their own here in Perth. So I feel like there is more need to... So he slipped to ten. He's at ten. He's at ten. Yeah. Max Gorn's gone from eight to nine. Yeah, he's barely hanging on. Yeah. Because he's part of a troop that's really struggling. They are. And that's the big thing. As good as Max is, and a great leader that he is, he's going to have a massive impact at the later... It's time to be a great leader, though, isn't it? Oh, I'm sorry. That is why he's probably staying there, because it is so important that they have their leadership there. Patty Cripps has come into eight, but he's rocketing with a bullet if he continues that form in the way. So he used the ball better. Yeah, he does. He's the nat fife of Carlton. No, he's a better kick than that. marginal? Yeah, I know. I agree with you. Curnau at seven. Yeah, he's in practice short, but it's dangerous. Big, isn't it? He's not completely dominating gains, but you know when he's around that something's going to happen. He's five. And he also makes a contest. It's like we talk about Sydney how quickly they can score. Sydney, I think he's put a game out of reach in a six, seven, eight minute period. Curnau helps doing that at Carlton as well. Can I ask you that if he is the leading goalkeeper? Yes. He will stay in. But what happens if he doesn't win the common? How does he get in the list if someone else doesn't? It's about his impact at Carlton and in a very, very good side. And as I said there, he can put a game out of reach for you on opposition. That's spoken like a common medalist who didn't make the old Australian. Yeah. That sounds like what they were trying to justify here. Well, I think it's obvious that they should retrospect all Australians from a gold medalist. I mean, that's a side point. We'll get onto that. Merritt at six. Gordon at five, Warner at four, I know. How does he all right move? He doesn't move. How does he all not move? Again, this is the thing, right? 35 touches, 34 effective. It's not a week to week thing mate. But the problem is with Sydney, the hardest thing about ranking there, three. And I've got three in the top 10 in my eyes. Three to win. One, two, three, the brown line. I'm telling you right now. Good for that. How do you put that back? It's so hard ranking because one week it's Eni, next week is Warner, next week is Gordon. And they just take turns into who's going to dominate and have the biggest impact. So, anyway, good ones at five, Warner at four, Bond stays at three. Day cost at two and Eni at one. So, that the top five doesn't change. Eni stays at one. Yeah. See, the Bond must be coming with the bullets. The Bond, well, he's, he absolutely is. Okay. They'll, he's good games. Okay. They're going to need to continue to drive the-- Yeah, that's a team view. What about the individual? Well, that's the thing. That's the thing that's powering you to have, like, what sort of player? Sure. The player, the player has to have an influence over his team and their ability to win a game and what happens when that player plays well. Okay. So, next year when we do the power ranking, if it survives, which we do have to have some parameters because I think, I think there's some serious goal, goal moving. This is a great area to start to get bigger. It's no doubt about it. So, 10. 10 is the wrong. It's the wrong. 9 is gone, 8 is Crips, up from 10 last week. Kurno 7, Merritt, 6, Goulton, 5, 1, a 4, Bond, 3, day cost 2, Heaney, a 1. All right. Scotty, after seeing him live on the weekend, hopefully, Will Day makes your list. Scotty from Bayes Water. Yeah, he's being on Will Day. Will Day is a very, very good player. Yeah, but he's not in the top 10. Scotty said Sirong needed to kick goals to go up the list, so he kicks a goal and goes down. Scotty from Mumri is liking our work on social media as well. All right, he's a good man. He's a good man. Yeah, social media. Follow us. Thirteen, twelve, fifty-five. Took your depot. Open line on zero, four, eight, seven, three, six, seven, three, six, five point eight degrees, heading for a top of 18 degrees today. Gary Lyons done his show with Tim. He'll be popping in the car and he'll be giving us a call shortly. Grab 24, chicken McNuggets for nine, ninety-five. Get more for your money at Macca's and Drew Jones after seven, thirty, talking all things news when it comes to footy. Read too much. I've read that. You just edited it. Well done, mate. Mark Duffield after seven, thirty, which tells us what's coming up. No, I'm not going to read it all out. I'm going to pick and choose the words that you read when someone texts in. It's a first. We've finally learnt. Two and a half years. We're going to read them first. All right. He's just repeating the news. If you're just waking up, Australia lost to India. That means they are relying on the Smornings Clash, Afghanistan Bangladesh. We're cheering for Bangladesh in a big way. Bryce McGain, pretty scathing of Dave Warner and the timing of his comments about sandpaper gate. The game gets underway at eight thirty live and exclusive on prime. It's ten past seven Scotty and Goss. We're in the toolkit deposition. He needs to be high as his race. He's sitting in third way. I mean, it's pretty high. And just for anyone that thought Goss was lying, he keeps his trophies in the car. He sent his personal assistant out to get them. We'll put them on socials. They are legitimately from 1977. 75 to 76. This one here was bowling average 3.8. And these aren't fresh. They're a strange trophy with a little man on top, the bowler. He's got his left arm very high, but he's blocking his vision. I'm not sure how he's going to be able to see where he's bowling. That is about a kilo heavier than the base. This could break at any stage. And the other one, which is he gets some silver or something. He's an absolute dutch. No, no need to touch him up. But outstanding bowling performance to Goss. He doesn't say what it is. That was the nine for eight, seven for one, seven for nine, three consecutive weeks. What the hell I'm telling you, that's what it was for. And I was presented by Graham Watson who played test cricket for Australia. And Graham Watson was famous for being his in the head. And he's basically stopped his career. Not by this bowler. He can't see where he's bowling. If I did bowl at that speed. So those trophies are legit. We'll put those on the socials. Yeah. And he does seriously carry them around in the car with him. And Tomo says thank you. Tomo from Bumbry. He's very proud of me for filtering the text that he takes. Yes. Goss has got him. I am very proud of myself. Did you guys think of the surface at Optus? Yeah, look. It's a bit patchy. It does. I know. It's hard to grow. We're being fans of that. Hard to grow mate. We haven't had great growing weather. Lots of rain. There's some great growing weather. We haven't had loads of sunshine, mate. A lot of false heat on it. Yeah, it's different to any other over in Australia. It's patchy at the moment. There's no doubt about it. There's a lot of sand out there. It is a different grass at Optus as opposed to other venues like MCJ. No problem. But anyway, I think it's going to be fine. At one stage during the season, every oval will go through a period where it's not optimum. Yeah. And you know if you're a player, where long stock is? The screw in there. Don't make them anymore. Don't make them anymore. Get the long sprigs out. They don't make them anyway. What happened to a good fashion? What happened to Ted Bowden, the spoot stutter? Who would hammer in the wooden spikes for you to run out for Wembley? Got to get the brush. Hey, Suvi Akko. And then he was at the West Coast Eagles. Let's get a breakaway. Gary Lyons going to join us shortly. 13 past 7. Real footy boots will help. They wear these little slip-ons right now. They're like wearing balls. They're like ball bearing shoes. 13 past 7. 13 past 7. Thanks to Sonos, multi-room, listening, wireless home theatre and a whole lot more experienced game-changing sound this season with Sonos. Thanks for all your impact and input so far on the show. Plenty coming in. One man who's done his show, of course, on SCN 1116 is Gary, a line alongside Tim Watson. He's in the car, heading to one of his properties. Gary, good morning. Hello Suvi, hello, we're Scotland, nice to talk to you about it. And you two heading to the ranch, Giz, are you? I'm not sure which one I'll go to. I'm just working on it. Head out down the road and just see where the car seems. Nice work by you. Hey, would you be getting home to Watch Afghanistan and Bangladesh? Have you ever been more invested in a game of cricket in your entire life? Hi, I know it's unpatriotic, but I went quite, got into the T20 World Company perfectly. On the front course I'd like to go through to the next stage, but I can't say I'm riding every single ball as I would normally go to the case. Correct. Correct, Gary. We're exactly the same. We feel your pain. Hey, Gary. Just started caring, haven't we? We have now. Hey, Gary. Just a couple of quick questions before we get into the nitty gritty. These are from a listener who watches the Fox footy on Friday nights. I want to know, has Gary got more than one heavy coat? He seems to run with the beige number often? One? And where does Gary watch the game from when he's not sitting at that disc? No, there's a number of different coats that I try to have on rotation. But where we watch it from, we get the seat and we turn around. That's it. That's not the voice. Yeah, that's it. It's a beautiful viewing platform to be perfectly honest. And we do have a pre-game there and then we throw to the bounce. We just spin around and there's the game in front of us. And can you see it unfolding in front of you? And I don't mean the game. I mean the punters around you. But pre-game, only good Nick. We're all going well. And then as the game wears on the amber fluid, starting to kick in guys and there's a bit more security required. Now you're getting into my wheelhouse Scotland because you're 100% right. When we first got to that new elevated stage, there were members of the public that would walk around behind us and jump up and down and see themselves on TV. I'm sure we're texting their mates and I'll see if I can get on. So we had to get a couple of members of the force just to position themselves there. A couple of weeks ago. It was a very quiet outing. Although last week we got a couple of blue baggers very late. Well after 11 as we sent they were waiting for the first conference to arrive. And including one is turn of hand. We walked past it about 10 past 11 and he was pretty excited with the way the blues are travelling as well. So it's great. It's interesting you say that Gary because he would opt to study him. I'm being genuine. The security and effort to get into the media box and the vigilance of the staff members increases 10 fold. They take their job seriously. When Brian Taylor is in town. And I mean that they've got two security on the door. They have extra security on each of the doors. When we walk in we have to show up. I know it's going to pass around that. And we almost get frished when it be teased in town. So Gary, what is going on? What is it? Is there some fear factor for Brian? Is it part of his writer when he's working for the seven network? What do you know about this? You're mates with BT. He refuses to take his path anywhere. He just thinks that he's more staff. He's more starker. He's entry to anywhere. No, he's a great man. He gets here. I tell you what he's Brian. He's a very early-arriver and early preparer. And they said, you know, under the plane first. He's always on the plane first when we travel. And he likes to get to the ground nice and early as well. So he's got some criticism. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. Hey, Stephen May speaking of criticism. He's copped it. Did he copy his right whack? Do you subscribe to the theory that he maybe should have been suspended? We had Hamish bracer in the studio yesterday. And he's concerned about Melbourne's sort of lack of awareness of the Angus bracer or forced retirement from concussion. They took on the cosy picket, high bump charge. Now they have Stephen May doing this. They give an award for Angus bracer each and every week. So it certainly does resonate through the football team and the club. But it seems to be some sort of lack of awareness by the playing group. What's your thoughts on that? No, it was just a brain fight from Stephen. I don't know how you should be saying that. Angus is your... Just would take it from me, who has actually went down to training last week. Angus bracer is a repeat for the Melbourne free club. So to draw the actions of Stephen and join the question whether or not Melbourne has taken that on board enough. He's a long bow. It was a bad look. Everything, all the criticism that's been... I thought there was a bit of scary around the like. It wasn't a suspendable offence. But certainly given the climate that we're in and we're trying to stamp out, then Stephen doesn't need to be doing that. And I haven't had him speak about it. I think he'd be embarrassed. He's got his right whack. He's been fine for giving him another thousand or two. Yeah, he's... I would hope that he would regret those actions. If he does it, I'm sure he does. Yeah, it'd be one of the worst things I think to be suspended or sanctioned for. It seemed to be bordering on embarrassing. Hey, Gaz, you would have played on Ken Hinkley. And I certainly know the Port Adelaide faithful. They have turned in a massive way. Is this getting a little bit not out of hand? But are we jumping real quickly at a lot of noise coming from the members who were disgruntled? They were an impatient bunch. There's no doubt about that. They're a passionate bunch. There's no questioning that whatsoever. But, geez, people are calling for Ken's head right this very second. Yeah, just a couple of things. Kenny didn't plan anyone by the way. I didn't plan any plate on his own. No. He was the first of the freewheeling halfbacks. But we were reacting to some booing. We've been all side-effectively not fine. One of the board members comes out. And I think that is their issue. It's a foreign trade rally. I'm a few guys across all that doing radio. And there was a pullback call. I said that Kenny was delusional and done it on. And his response at the end of it was a good call. So that's the issue. That was the issue. And that also split him down the middle because he's a point that was pretty hotly contested. So he and David posh, you know, they've got to sort that out in terms of Kenny. I mean, we're drawing a bit of a long bow. And I guess we're drawing on our experiences of having seen this many times before. They may come out today and say, and I hope they do. I mean, they took a long time to appoint him last year when he was winning games. You know, they won 13 in a row and then they pointed him and said, "We are absolutely unanimously convinced that he's the man to take us forward." And that was back in September last year. So they're in the eight last time I looked. They got three games ahead. Only looked three games ahead. I hope they did their heels in here and fight like, you know, put out a letter. You know, pride of themselves on in the past. So I hope there's no defeatist attitude around put out a load right now. And Kenny, you know, coach, he's way out of it and will try and do everything he can. And I get a hard training decision to be played on. It can turn so quickly as well. And all of a sudden, this talks on the back burner. I hope it goes on. One group of people that never seem to be held accountable at all when it comes to reappointing a coach or not reappointing a coach is the board. So the board has decided, as you said, last year, the board decides that he is the man for the job. We're re-signing him for two years. Now, say this trajectory keeps going and put out a leg. It bundled out of finals and they don't play finals. Where do you sit on the fact that someone on the board needs to take the rap for that? Was there a decision? Yeah. I sort of with you, and there's two ways out. You know, the board will support you right up until they sack you. And we've seen that over so many times. And then you examine them and you prosecute them and you bring that up. Their response often is, "Yes, that's right, but things change." And that can sound an easy way out. And for a lot of the time, I think it is. But the reality is, in other times, things do change. And, you know, you've got a great board and they make decisions for all the right reasons. It can be a circumstance where things do change somewhere along the way. Otherwise, we'd make contracts binding and just make clubs say, "Well, you appointed them. You've got to keep them down until the end of that period." But we know that's never going to be the case because eight boards make mistakes. Or coaches aren't able to deliver on the promises that had them signed. They signed in the first place. I know it's a long way around saying that we're never going to get surety. And coaches will be sacked by a great round in the sack. You know, it was really appointed six months later, they sacked him. That's what happened in '20, right now. And it'll happen again. I hope, in this instance, they give Ken and the respect of the other coaches right out of this. Gary Lyon, our guest, of course, Fox Footy's main man. And also that of the breakfast show with Tim every Tuesday to Thursday. Good gig too. It's not about three days a week. Hey, Gary. Jake Waterman. No, come back. We're not the first to mention it to you, mate. Very good contract you have. Hey, Jake Waterman, you had it on the couch last night. What am I on? Like 12 months ago, well, even a bit longer than that, he's barely getting a game. And when he was, he was up and down the ground. He was subbed, he was off, he was on, he didn't have a position, really. Then all of a sudden he gets crook, comes back and there's a bit of fallout from that. His family weren't all that pleased with the lack of care, so to speak, or real interest in his health. Wow. Now he's all Australian bound, at least for the sport, at least. Was he impressive on the couch last night? Yeah, I do know. We absolutely loved it. All three of us two men say, "We're a great bloke. We're a repairer." And we get lots of calls about in the line that he got with the show. Well, you know how good it is. Yeah. And he, you know, this is a lot of the love that as well. He was a great straight over, like the rest of the team traveled back on Sunday, but he stayed over just for us. And, you know, that's a bit of an imposter cause. But the fact that he was over to do that had him in their good books anyway. But then he turned out to be such a, you know, I'm never meeting in my life. You get to make most players here in Melbourne, but obviously over there. And he was such a humble fellow. And he loved being there, and I was excited. And, you know, I enjoyed the chat with him. So we'd love to do more, of course, whether it's really difficult. But he's had a great year. And I didn't realize how crooked he got last year. So do I overcome that? I think he ran more kilometers on the weekend than anyone. He's just saying something. I'll scroll him back into that side. It means that he's going to be able to get up and move around a bit. But yeah, he's having a super year. I play a lot of footy guys. He's dad. Actually, I mentioned that to him back in the day. So he's the waterman name there. And Alec is brother's played footy as well. So they've done a great job. Yeah, Alec is still playing at Claremont. His old man's coaching my amateur football club. They're on the bottom of the ladder and got beaten by 100 points on the weekend. So he's got a bit of work today. He's got the full support of the board, though. That's okay. At one stage. Jake and George Bronford and a few boys were heading down to play for Wembley the way they were playing. But all of a sudden, they're back. No, they look good. I thought they were pretty competitive. And, you know, there was the other thing last night. I don't know if you watch their show or not. But Jason was here on the show three weeks ago in Brownie. We went around the world trying to find Conor McGregor. And basically found him inside of about eight pubs. That's what we found. That's the world's greatest. And when he was on the show, Jason said, "Hey, I can accept teams are going to be on the bottom of my ladder." But why isn't there pressure where it needs to be? Because we showed the pressure ladder. And the bottom of the ladder teams are also on the bottom of the ladder. The pressure team of the pressure ladder. And in that sense, he'd last been on in that three or four week period. We did the pressure. I had to look at the pressure ladder again. And the North Melbourne footy cover gone from last to first. And whether it was coincidence or not, I don't know. But all of a sudden you see the performances they're putting out, the competitive notes of them. And the pressure ladder indicated that they're having a crack. So I'm sure the Eagles will follow us in the model. And hopefully we get a much more competitive back half. Gary, just really one quick one before we let you go and you can get out of this state. Look, I do a little bit of social media. I guess I'm a better judgement sometimes. And I mentioned on socials there was only 28,000 on a standalone Saturday night. And I know it's cold, but it is Melbourne. And it is winter. And it is a winter sport. Only 28,000 for Melbourne North Melbourne. I'm confused about where everyone was. And I've been poo-pooed to say that's just stock standard. But surely we can do better than that for two Victorian teams at the MCG. Yeah, I would hope so. His home game, was it Melbourne's home game? Melbourne's home game. Yeah, Melbourne's. Well, that's disappointing. He's like, no, why is there making excuses for that? 28,000 at the home are free. You'd want to get more than that at the ground. And the demons are going through a bit of a slump at the moment as well. So I need to be better than that. Support aggressive. Probably the only good thing that came out of it was the wings. And then Maggie Jones, really bad Jones. He was trained in this town in the middle of town. But it was a bit of a tough old night for the demons. And I thought they were lucky to soar and see how the winner did. Yeah, correct. There was a lot more eloquent in his response to that than most of the people on your social. And your mate, Ralphie Horowitz. No, Ralphie's just very sarcastic. Answer us. Very sarcastic. Don't you? Can I tell you this, mate? You're wasting your life going on social media. The whole world out there that's passing you by and your head is stuck in your phone. And someone has never, not for a second, spent any time on it. It is the greatest decision I've ever made in my life. Because I just see life as it is. I'm watching the world pass by. And I probably would make maybe two phone calls a day, if that. And that's about it. The rest of the time he gets is sitting on his kaboda. Jase, which is on a way in a good life. I'm not arguing with people that have no impact on my life. I just do the last two important stuff each other. Okay, Gary. I take that on board. It's a 59-year-old man who should grow up. I just take that on board. Hey, you'd be bored. Take that on board. Take it in the manner that it's intended. No, no. Mate, you're my mentor. You know that. Mate, appreciate it. Anytime. Thank you, Gary. Thank you, Gary. Thank you, Gary. Gary, love him. Fox Footy's finest. And also breakfast on three days a week. Just three days a week. Just three days a week. We've got to try and get that deal. It is. Quality, quality, not quality. Got to get that deal. He doesn't wait for thank you from our producer. He just hangs up. 5.8 degrees heading for a top of 18. Marked up. He was in after eight o'clock speaking three days a week. Duff's in after eight o'clock. Tell us about the show. Yeah, I'm just shooting the left one. If I'm not out of here on social media, I'm going to use this platform. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Just to attack the world. Three days is ridiculous. I'm making an announcement on social media. Four days a week. I'm off. That's it. I'm going to keep it. No way. You've said that before. I'm going to keep it. Yep. I'm going to keep my social media. All right. No longer am I going to interact. No longer. I see you're going to post stuff, but you're not going to interact with responses. I'm going to post only positive stuff. Not going to draw any negative fishing responses. Oh. My last one was a beauty. You've got two hundred fifty thousand. Two hundred fifty thousand views. You know what? You know what? I'm going to keep these two trophies. And the second until you respond to somebody to you, you're going to have them back because I'm on them. But I'm going to keep these. Sure. And your head's not going to work. You're just thinking on the runway. Yeah. I'm keeping these trophies. If you cave in, no, I'll give them back to you. And if you cave in, you've got to give them back to me. What do you do? I do. I try to encourage you to get off it. I don't need your help, mate. Yeah. It's very Laurie Daly that little bit. I think Queensland are the favourites at $2.05 taking on New South Wales at $1.77. No way. Well, if I was going to have to have the trouble up to North Queensland, there are $1.77 outsiders with Queensland. Sorry. New South Wales at $1.77 favourites Queensland. Oh, sorry, I'll start that again. Queensland, the favourites are $2.05. New South Wales are the underdog at $1. Yeah, so I'm going to keep you trophies. Yeah. And then when you respond to someone, I'll give them back. No, no, no, no, I'm going to give them to you. And then I'm going to get them back. I'll never get them back if I respond on X, is that what you're saying? Yeah. Because I've now just posted. After receiving on air advice from Gary Line about me wasting time and effort on X and interacting with others, and back it's great unwashed, I am officially stepping away. I will keep my account, but will not post or respond from here on. Well, you're not post. Now, that's the great believer I reckon I should. Duff has always said to me, "Keep going, mate, really like your stuff, because I have taken some hits at times, and they've shaken me up a little bit." I had the death thread here, they got posted, it hit a lot. Was that 10 days ago? That guy wanted to come after me? Oh, really? We got it on a Friday? We got a letter. It was the golf day. That's why I was rattled over at the meta-gut-up. I didn't know that. Yes. I would have taken the picture of that a lot. I thought you were there. Mark Duff is in the studio. You've got to do what I do. You just post and go to bed. Yeah, Mark. That's what Pav said. You're sitting for get. I can't do that. Was it post and go to bed? Did the letter come with, like, we'll cut out individual letters from a different... Are you serious? Yes. Oh, that's... Let the game begin, and they had the photo of the monopoly guy. Well, that's troubling. Oh, hello. Is the police involved? No. I'm okay at the moment, but I do think I know who he is. Again, it's moved over to Perth from Geelong. I'll tell you, everyone, I'm the one closest to the windover. Do not go for that figure. All righty. Mark Duff, I feel good morning. Good morning. Nippy out there, mate? Yeah, it's very cold. It's very cold. I don't know what it is when Ublo's come in, but by... 3.9 this morning, I checked. It's now 5.6. It's dark and cold. Dark and cold. It's dark and cold. It's dark and cold. Gavin Bell on the show today, boys. We'll talk about West Coast's efforts. Whether they're too tall, can they play two rucks? We'll talk a few questions to him, and what's happening with Tim Kelly? How far away... Well, Ryan Daniels went hard to say he's back. My mail is it was a longer term injury than that. We'll find out today from Gavin Bell, also going to talk to Todd Curly. I might be wrong. Your power rankings. Yep. What's your problem? Hey, I just turned my mic off. Yeah, I want your bloody problem. No, no, no. Just asking. Just asking a question. Where is Tommy de Conning? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's... I almost put him on a watch list. You gave him the brown light. I gave him the brown light this week. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, but that's a one-off. This is for a full body of work. I'm a big, big fan. But it is, like, I think your parameters are where they'll be at the end of the year. Yeah. He is coming. Yeah, with a bullet. Like a freight train. Yep, no, I completely agree. I think he's a terrific player, and... At least one in one of your watch lists by next week. Scotty? Okay, yeah, I'm going to round the footy. You've got another round of footy to come, yeah? Can you do it? I will not be precious. You will not be precious. I'm 100% with you on that. Yeah, absolutely. Alrighty. Mark Duff, who'd been after eight o'clock, and one of our textures said, Duff did really well, he believes in that. Duff Posten went to bed and got him in all sorts of strife with David King. Yeah. I was fucking serious. Oh, King, he does put him in the bad books pretty quick. You do go into the naughty file right there. And Jason, who texted, was concerned that we'd put him into the book. No way. No way. He did send a fantastic text. We just missed it, Josh. We got in our data. We do apologize. Yeah, it was something about, yeah, morning, ladies and Scotty. That freo call was light-hearted, unhinged, hilarity. Which was brilliant. I love hearing that. He gets a big portion of it. I mean, you're also a great plug for the bowab. You've got to take the miso up there. Yeah. Have a great day, everyone. Yeah, make sure you bring it back, Josh. You can't just take her up. Just take her and drop her in high, Wickham. And a question for Duff, and he'll be listening. He's back at his desk. Scotty from Scarbs. Can you ask Evan Bell if it's Kelly's knee or his hip? We'll take a break. Drew Jones is going to join us. We're going to talk all things footy from Melbourne this morning. There's a bit going on. He's about to go to Melbourne Training. It's a support for you for getting off it too. Thank God you're off it. Just do your own thing. Yeah. I do enjoy it though. I love the interaction. You do enjoy it. I love the interaction. You're going to be a hole in your life. I am a man of the people. No, you're not. You hate people. Let's be fairly honest. I am concerned and I'm looking at you two boys out there for the team of four here. I'm concerned that if he doesn't have an outlet on his socials, things are going to get intense now. What's that group? Yeah. And in pre-show meetings that you guys go to. I don't go to them. So it won't affect me. But the thing is, I'm going to, so I'm announcing I'm off it and you watch them come for me. You've said this before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How do you win? And then I say, well, I've got to pretend myself. I'm not going to respond. I'm not going to respond. All righty. Be brave. Be brave. Be strong. Never read the comments. I read the comments. I read the comments. Unless you've got a thick skin, don't read the comments. Mate, some of the deadbeats that respond seriously. There's some real low-life people who follow me who are just battlers who don't give their identities, who walk around there about probably a four-foot-eight living in their mum's bedroom at 35. Oh, hang on. I've got two of them. I'm really lucky on socials. You get the odd one. Some of the times when my lists go out and with no context and I've smashed a little bit from one to 20 stuff. But it's not, I've been really lucky with that. I don't get people just want to rip me to shreds like you do. Yeah. And I'm okay with that most of the time, but it has worn me down in recent times. But I simply said... But there's no tone. This is what Apple needs to do. And 250,000 views of a simple comment. Two Victorian teams and only 28,000 MCG hashtag leave it there. And the amount of pile-on towards me is, "Oh, I've seen something wrong." What's wrong with that? Oh, I... What is wrong with that? I think that's really great. 28,000 of the game between two Victorian clubs at the MCG standard. Let's go, let's go and win. There's winter team and that hasn't happened before. Twelve away from eight o'clock. Drew Jones is incredibly busy. You won't be able to get him to wear, but we will have Drew Jones on our podcast. If you look in the catch-up at scn.com.au or good and bad, I'd cast you found. I've got a feedback for you to stay out there, get on there. And Johnny's texting. I was about to say this in our last conversation. I've been on this for years that Apple needs to invent fonts. Fonts, fan. And there's three that I want. Well, four, obviously. Normal font for just a conversation. Sarcasm font. Angry font. That comes in red. And the most important drunk font. Sarcasm, angry and drunk font is what I'm after. That's what I need from Apple. Alrighty. Here it is. Mr. Apple, if you're out there, 13, 12, 55, 0, 4, 8, 7, 7, 3, 6, 7, 3, 6. So, just so you know. So, and I agree, you don't want to announce, but if I, all of a sudden, stopped going on it, people would go, "Oh, he didn't post it. I think I'd have gone upset, so I haven't." But as soon as I've done it, I'm like, goes, "It's not an airport. Goss, no need to announce our departure." You can't win. So, I'm announcing for people who want to know why I'm not going to respond anymore. Why I'm not going to respond anymore is because I'm probably... You didn't write it properly. You should have just written, "Listen, I'm not going to get into the mark with dead, said dead shit." Yeah. As simple as... Yeah, I sort of should have been abusive on the way out. And then those people would have gone, "He didn't reply to me." "Ah, I'm one of them, so I might have been enlightening for them as well." Yeah, it's a good point. You made two dogs. Al, I just said... Thanks. I can't believe you said that because I'm fine. After receiving on-air advice from Gary Line on SCNWA Breakfast about me wasting my time and effort on exit, interacting with others, I'm officially stepping away with a... Shh, emoji. I will keep my account, but will not post or respond. He'll got my head bandage. He'll got fishing. I've got my face plant. I've got my glasses on. I will miss it. But I still will be watching. So there it is. Raising, Bumbry. G'day, Raiser. I made it. Oh, yeah, good morning. Yeah. You can't be just getting off because Gary Line said something. Yeah, this is a guess. I'm tired. No, but you can't. No, you can't. It's all about me. I'm tired. You put your opinion out there. If you want it, you respond. You do. If you don't, you laugh. I'll waste too much time, Ray. I've tried it. I'm on a rock. I'm selling properties all over Perth. I just waste too much time trying to chat to the grown-up watch. You've got to allocate yourself some time to look at your replies. I'm not telling you to sit there all day. Yeah. You've got to put stuff out there when you want to put it out there. When you go back later on, you have a lot. If you feel you need to respond, you respond. If you feel you need to laugh it off, laugh it off. Yeah. It's just because Gary said so. Yeah. Gary says go. You know, if Gary says go and buy John D'Alorma. Are you going to do that too? No, no, no. No, no, no, no. I understand. Hey, don't raise it. Raise it. But let me tell you, Ray, you know how you talk about time allocation for social media and stuff like that. I mean, like, I was driving down a freeway at 120 years old. And I was just like... No, you weren't. No, you weren't. You were going 99 in the right way. 100 in the right way. 100 in the right way. You're in the right way. You're in the right way. And you know what? Your dad is absolutely spot on. And I was gladly doing 103. Yeah. And so I was in the right lane. So, yeah, 100%. Thank you, Ray. Always appreciate your care. Thank you, boy. Thank you, mate. Love him. The first Wildcats we're excited to announce the documentary "Alex Saaf" for every Wildcat. It's on tonight. Premiers tonight to Sporting Globe. Bellman. If you want to know more, yeah, Sporting Globe in Bellman, correct? Wildcats.com.au. It's an absolute ripper. So if you're a Wildcats fan, an Alex Saaf fan and a Sporting Globe fan, get along. Or at least get the details from Wildcats.com.au. The NBA Drafts this week. Is it this week? Very soon. Tomorrow? Yeah, very, very soon. He's a Wildcat for life. So he's going to knock back all advances from the NBA and stay with us. That ain't 1255-0487736736. Do we sell him? What's on top? Then he's off. Yeah. And then we just go hard for you to contract. Now, what are we doing in regards to tomorrow's show? What have we got? What have we got tomorrow? What would you ask me? Well, I've got ask-me-fons. Like, if you've got no idea-fons. Yeah, I've got to reply. That's just nums out of Moses. Sally is previewing the origin truth in Melbourne, isn't it? Beauty. No, no. That's Suncorb. I think the third one's in Melbourne. Or is it in Melbourne? No, it's in Melbourne, isn't it? Yeah, it's in Melbourne. The G. Beautiful. You're across over? Yeah. Absolutely. No, I've been massive. I'm working tomorrow. What else are we doing? What else are we doing? What else are we doing? What else are we doing? Cashier, isn't we? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Freaky. (LAUGHTER) You're alive! You're alive! You've got a lot of fun today. Hey, a lot of fun today. Thank you to everyone who played along. It was such a- Look, I don't know about you. We should eventually talk sport at some stage in our two hours of our show. Monday. Yeah, good point. And Friday. Do whatever you like. Don't bag Friday's. I'm not bagging it. Don't bag Friday's because those people who are working Friday are really bringing something to the table. Yeah, for talent. This is why people do three days a week. Lazy. Four days? One to do four though. Good on you. All righty. Good on you. Thanks for your company. Well done to Chris Clafoonis. Well done to Griff out there. And what under you? He's got he duffs in after eight o'clock. Love Duff. Thirteen, twelve, fifty, five. Toolkit depot. Open line. Or you can get the text on them. Go for eight, seven, seven, three, six, seven, three, six. What are you going to do with all the spare time you're going to have today? Sell houses, count me money and drink coffee. It's Scotty and Gus for breakfast.
