We couldn't get the shorts.

It grew on us, didn't it, as we were watching it from Adelaide Oval as they were about to go to the Essendon Melbourne game.

But no, I didn't mind.

Before the win over Melbourne, Wednesday's agenda setters on Channel 7 went behind the scenes of what's happening at the Bombers.

Dan, we'll come to you.

You got some news out of the Bombers today?

Bit of criticism that he hasn't spoke publicly, Andrew Welsh.

Because, I mean, because when we're talking about Andrew Welsh specifically, so much of the noise this year has been about Zach Merritt and the should they, shouldn't they, his form, Gimlet, like it's just snowballed.

That's right.

It's been an absolute circus.

He is as closely linked to that decision as anyone at the football club.

I think so, yeah.

I think when the decision was made, it was a decision to make the club appear strong, and that's fine.

At the time, applaud that.

I think you've got to back that in.

You've got to stand behind it.

Just with the coach, just before we get some more from you...

I'm not usually a fan of coaching from the interchange bench, but I think this is the perfect time for Brad to come down.

We just have seen the vision of, or we're going to see some vision of Andrew McWalter coaching with Harley Reid and how he was able to wrap his arm around a young player.

This is, for me, a frustrated coach who cannot do a whole lot with what he's got from there.
