Are you mixed form Brisbane? They're back. They're coming with a bullet We saw Gold Coast live they're flat as the proverbial shit. God is that morning fish. I Love that saying God is not used often enough, but yeah, that was so ordinary yesterday the sun So okay, well, that was Brisbane that's the positive right three wind in a row feels like they're back that attack that Carried them so far in the last few years is is back. So mid-field humming Forward the converting so it does feel like they're back They got Melbourne and the camera on Friday and I think they'd win that and then they can start pushing me to the top And you've got I know Dane Zorco is speaking this morning, but the big focus this week will be on will Ashcroft and whether he returns Yeah, he's he will play this week barring any last minute problems, but they have a hundred percent committed on implying AFL But you don't play a player of that caliber in the VFL do you here? We run the out of the Jabron Friday night So 12 months after he did his ACL against you along last year another a huge boost for Brisbane Well, I know he's only a second year player But you can't underestimate the impact that that young fella has so so creative for the center So a huge addition to Brisbane in the behalf of you And they've got the the much-vaunted Collingwood who are coming with a bullet and they've even not in near four strengths good on your fishery Appreciate you Tommy. No, you got to get in there for Dan Zorco. Thanks for joining to do it again next week Thanks guys. It's got a lot of late to wear our great-made Mike Land's low root years And you can hear him on the run home with a kimbo and roocha mate I imagine if the place hasn't been burnt down yet there's Some serious security around Elba and over at the moment because they'll be coming for Ken Well, I came for a mental Saturday the reaction of the fans made it pretty clear one by the way They responded once he was seen on the screen and two by the way They left the game early in the remarks that they made when they were picked up by news crews makes it very clear that poor Adelaide's got a problem and Question is how they handle this for the next Well, particularly the next 48 hours of the next two games, so Yeah, there's no doubt now that port Adelaide has a real question mark around Ken Inkley and whether he survives Even to the end of the season. Wow this I'm questioned then if it does continue to go down this path does David Kaush have the pills to actually sack Ken Inkley I think Scott what happens now is you you look at a game by game So the next one's been killed or they win that that's a breather But it doesn't really end issue at all with the one that probably would be the most interesting one It's the game of a two in this 48 hours two weeks seen that the Western Bulldogs If that goes wrong at home You would think then as a board though, it's so right the decay is clear It's time to farewell Ken and then gives Josh Cara an audition like they did many years ago with massive promise But I'm I just Think now even Josh cars become a bit tainted you if you You're the way the way Port Adelaide fans are acting to his work and the way which the midfield is not delivering They're not convinced about Josh Cara either, so Port's got some really big decisions to make over the next two weeks brutal brutal stuff and the crows they Obviously needing to bounce back. They've got the Giants, but it's no fun in game I'd beer and skittles down at that light either No, I sent him sir with us. Got is as the chairman executive He was always due to do a reviewer during the mid-season break But it's gonna have a fair bit more bite to it now The expectation is that will be changed at the end of the year I don't expect that change to involve Matthew nicks You would think that once you as a board you've committed to giving them a two-year contract You hit your wagon with him So you're not gonna if he goes you pretty well as a board have to go yourself So that's not gonna happen. What they do is they have to Really look at the body's been the key issue here all the time And that is what talent are they giving Matthew next to work with and that's with management, so Where that land at the end of the year which at the time when you're going into a trade period and also into a draft is very awkward as well So that's that's the key issue at Adelaide there. Just what changes they make in the key recruiting areas It's a big week in there We're just going to be all over it on the run home with Kimbo and Ritchie from South Australia joining us.
