The 937 messages, 953 messages that we've got, that's not us speaking.

We're just relaying the messaging that is coming through here as loud as I've seen it in recent times.

The texts are well into the thousands now, Gary.

Nathan's in Pakenham.

Good morning, Nathan.

It stops at 900.

G'day, boys.

I can't believe I'm about to say this as a Carlton supporter, but I would have James Hurd in a heartbeat.

The way he loves that club and the way he speaks for that club and even just his football knowledge, like on Football Furnace and stuff when he's talking, he still knows the game.

He hasn't been out of the game completely where he doesn't know game plans and everything.

I look at like a Michael Voss who I reckon struggled to speak in press conferences and things.

And I think, like, how did the club appoint him when he's like that?

But his game day things are elite.

But James Heard had both of those.

I can't see why, like, I would love him at Carlton.

All right, good on you.

Well, that's a call we weren't expecting this morning.

Moo says, as a 41-year-old Richmond supporter, Essendon remind me of my childhood.

Old boys clubs never work.

Yep, there's that sentiment coming through as well.
