Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. A sports news update for The Butcher Club. The Butcher Club, for quality produce delivered with exceptional customer service. Simply not your average butcher shop.
It's the hour of power, I like to call it. Sam Edmund in now with all of your news, and he'll also partake in questions without notice. And then Corey Mobilio, I was saying for round 15, it's round 16, isn't it? How stupid I am. So he will be here to talk about tonight's game and a whole host of other stuff. Welcome to you, Sammy. It's going quickly, isn't it? Round 16.
It's sliding through.
Chapter 2: What updates are there on Geelong's coaching staff?
And I heard you talking about Geelong earlier, actually. Despite being two-thirds of the way through the season, it's pretty awesome that a coach can go over to the US and play some golf. And I don't think he was on his own either.
And the Cats, I think they had some football staff decided they're going to go to Bali straight after the game in Perth, given what's that, maybe three and a half hours away from Perth? I think it's even closer. Whatever it might be. A lot closer from the west, clearly. So good on them. A little bit of sun and circuit breaking.
More so than ever before, the importance of welfare and keeping your employees fresh.
You're a big us against them, John Northey type school type. Would you use it in any way saying, oh, look, the cats, look what they did during the break. This is how little interest they've been showing. They've been going off to Bali. The coach has been going off to America playing golf. They're not taking you seriously, boys.
I think we've moved on. on from there.
I think we all understand the need to... So that's Brisbane in round 17 then.
You reckon Fags would get up the lines and say that they've come into... Well, if I was Fags, I'd actually get onto AI and I'd try to digitally enhance some vision and say, look, this is what the Geelong coach was doing during the break. He's there just sort of striking the golf ball there off the tee. You don't need digitally enhanced. I think that's exactly what he was doing.
Well, no, but you'd need to be there to actually record it.
You need the visual.

Chapter 3: How are player welfare and training sessions being addressed?
Do you think this is an overreach?
No, it's with an eye to the legalese and the litigiousness of society.
We're actually slow, though. The NFL have done this. The NRL this year made their changes as well.
How deeply have they gone in the NFL with all this? I know they don't do the practices they did once.
I don't have the exact breakdown, but I know that the NRL this year, no more than 115 minutes per week. So in-season and pre-season training sessions. So no more than 35 minutes of high-intensity contact. So how many hours in pre-season and in-season this AFL working group settle on will be interesting.
I mean, how it's policed, the different levels of contact from match practice, then you have your small-sided games, simple drills, one-on-one stuff, how it's designed, everything.
I think we all know why we're doing this, but you just wonder what the game is going to look like in, say, 50 years' time, don't you?
And then you've got a young player coming in. Well, you've got to prepare this young player to win a one-on-one against Patrick Dangerfield. So clubs will be thinking, well, how do we get these guys up to speed if we're limited in the exposure we can give them? And then, look, maybe some are suggesting that in reality there might not be much change. It sounds worse than what it is, Bulls.
This is the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement. During the regular season, teams are allowed a maximum of 14 padded practices, which I assume is contact, over the 18-week schedule. So they're only allowed 14 padded practices.

Chapter 4: What restrictions are being discussed regarding contact training in the AFL?
Right. Okay. The coaching searches, there's a number of them out there at the moment.
Yeah. Carlton. What can you tell us? Essendon. Tassie. So interesting in their own ways, aren't they? So Carlton haven't ā I don't know if they've paused things or not ā They're very steady as she goes down there at the Blues, and they're in no hurry. And I'm sure you don't want to upset the apple cart while Josh Fraser, their caretaker, has just got things absolutely humming along either.
Do you really want to get into the thick of interviews while who the next coach is going to be while Josh Fraser's on a five-game winning streak? So for now, the club's currently calling various football bosses around the comp as a courtesy, which Chris Davies has admitted. We'll be having a chat to this guy and that guy, just so you know.
And a lot of those names, the established assistant coaching sector, so that...
What if, though, on that point about you don't want to upset the apple cart, what if there are your clubs out there at the moment and they're talking to player managers and that prospective recruit that you've targeted says, okay, well, I'm not going to make my decision on going to your club until I find out who's coaching you.
There will be people sitting back just waiting to see what happens here.
Yeah.
And it will influence their decisions.
And Chris Davies did say that, I think, with Kane and Kingy during the week, is that it's very different for him having to pitch to players without having a coach, which he's obviously had Ken Inkley for so, so long.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the AFL's concussion risk recommendations?
Essendon people, if you like. So maybe that's why they're not rushed to the market. But the facts with Essendon, as they sit now, is that the club has said nothing in the formal sense.
privately there's still the full expectation that a criteria and a panel will be assembled is being assembled that's being finalized now so but out of the other side of that and when they release their statement about what they're looking for in a coach broadly and what their selection panel is exactly how thorough that coach search process is is going to be no one can say at this stage and will be really really interesting indeed indeed when will we know
Well, we thought this week that the only thing they've said publicly was after the bye. So it could be this week, could be next week, could be tomorrow. I'm told they're still finalising it and they won't give a timeline at the moment.
I was with Herdy yesterday and I can say this categorically that he would love to be the Essendon coach, but he does not know at this stage when and if there will be an interview in process.
Yeah. No one does apart from the board and maybe a handful of people at Essendon.
Kevin Sheedy... who's a vocal and big presence, says that he's outraged that they haven't at least reached out to James Heard and spoken to him. Either just to say, look, just understand we're going to take a few.
But they haven't done that to anyone yet.
Yeah. Well, okay, then Kevin should understand. And then that's just the way they're going about it.
I mean, I think he's just being treated like everyone else at the moment, and that is that they're getting their house in order in their own time, and then they'll get to it. I know you had Lenny Hayes on recently and asked him about Darcy Wilson, the out-of-contract youngster.

Chapter 6: What impact will the new training regulations have on player performance?
Sean Darcy has played a few games for Peel, has been among their best in that time regularly in the Waffles, got a contract until 2030, can't play any other position. So how much ruck time would he play if they bring him back? 40%, 30%? You'd be loathe, you'd be flat refusing to take any more minutes off Luke Jackson than you have to, and you have been at the moment.
So what do they do with Sean Darcy?
I'll give you the Kevin shooting method of solving these selection dilemmas. And that is on a Thursday night, you pair everybody off and then you kick the ball out there and you say, compete for it. Fight. And you hope that somebody gets injured and that solves one of your problems about selection. So you say, Mason, come over here. Sean, come over here. Fight to the death.
You kick the ball out there about 50 metres away and you just let them fight for it.
The most important thing is that he's been cast as Little John in our AFL Robin Hood.
I heard that earlier. Yeah. Yeah.
That's a big moment for him.
Well, so if things don't work out... He's got an acting career waiting for him. That's a bit like Chris Connolly. Remember when he said Aaron Sanderlands, he was approached to be an extra on Star Wars when they filmed it in Australia? Did he? That they were so struck by the size of Aaron Sanderlands, they wanted him to be some sort of Wookiee or something.
Wookiee?
