Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Rise and grind, my ballers. We have a huge... Show coming your way for Fireball Friday. You do not want to miss this. The quiz returns. Looking forward to that. Better get myself a question very shortly. I've done no work whatsoever on that. The review of the draw. A draw last night. In the gun, Dean Cox, the Sydney coach. He's absolutely flying. He's a baller.
He's going to have a chat to us, the Friday Agenda. Sammy Ebbin with all of the news. There's a crowd gathering in the studio because it's fireball time. And we love your thoughts as well. 1-300-736-736. A special Four Corns' interview. Investigation coming up. David King's the best analyst in football, and he's locked and loaded. Kingy, good morning. That excites me, your four cornses.
I'm not going to lie. It's been a long week. A lot of feedback from Monday's show. Not all positive.
A lot of positive stuff.
A little bit of positive, but a little bit of negative in there too, so just got to be careful today.
Nothing silly. No trips to level five.
Nothing silly, nothing silly.

Chapter 2: What are the key takeaways from the review of last night's game?
Level five, they didn't really get too involved. Sometimes I think they're in a state and we don't hear from them directly.
No, they're all over us at the moment. Yeah. We're going through some good times with level five at the moment.
Still haven't seen any invites for any sort of wine and dine, but yeah, I was just saying.
A lot of fun. How's your week been? Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Anything to report? No, we'll get to Four Corners in a moment's time, but I don't think there's anything to report unless you think there's... Something that I've done where I'm kind of nervous. No. No, I'm not coming at you. No way. No, I think you're in pretty good form. I did see some of your work on your- Locked in.
Your locked in show at five to six. That's going very well. 21 overrated things. Yeah, I did get a chuckle at that. What did you think? Well- I kind of knew beer would be on the podium. I didn't know whether it would be one or not. I was sort of counting down with you. Oh, there's the old text, the old text here going off. Yeah, I knew it would be there somewhere.
You got a couple of shock ones in there this time. You mixed it up a little bit. Yeah, it was more life ones than previously I'd done sport. Yeah, had some strong feedback on that. Now, I stayed at the Pullman last night. Walked up the hill from the MCG. Glenn looked after me a treat. I want to know who stays in this room.

Chapter 3: What feedback did Kingy receive from the audience?
When the teams roll into town. Well, I'm feeling a bit flat. You should. Because you- He likes me more than you. Well, he does. Clearly. 100% he does. Because- And why wouldn't he? You said to me, have you stayed in the suite? I said, yeah, of course I've stayed in the suite. You threw your shoulders back real arrogant style. Of course I have. And I said, what, the suite on level 11?
And you said, no. 11. You said. He's on 11. You said. They put him on 11. You said 19. And I said, well, it only goes to 19. Mate, this suite's got a name on it. This is sort of a two level penthouse set up that I have not even gone anywhere near. Mate, I couldn't find the bedroom for eight minutes. I thought, what am I going to do with this? I'm only here three hours. This is unbelievable.
So I'm feeling a bit flat, a bit left out. I know where the hierarchy is. Did you give the minibar a touch up? I didn't have time. I got back at bloody midnight. So it was a bit, sort of a little bit wasted. Not wasted on me, but gee, what an experience. The Pullman guys, if you need any help down there, just give me a call. Early start this morning. So you were here quickly.
We've got a bit happening. We've got some photos being taken today. Because you whinged and sooked about being pale. Well, I just get no love around here. Level fives at all. We better get the professional photographer in. There's no respect. And you said, look, I can help you. Yeah, I can help you. Between 8.59 and 9.01. It's the only two minutes you've given them.
My flight board's at 9.40, okay? So I cannot be late. Otherwise, I won't see the family again for another weekend. So there's a bit happening. We've got the legends from Kogan coming in. So looking forward to seeing them. Absolutely. They're doing great for us. Everyone wants a piece of fireball this morning. Hey, fascinating fever has caught on. It has.
There's one man in my- I can't stop hearing it. There's one man in my sights, though. Oh, one man. There's one person that I- Unlike you, because you've normally got eight people in your sights. I think he's doing it deliberately just to piss me off. For airtime? Just, yep. To get double dipped? I don't even know if he needs the airtime, but what is Hutchie doing? Anyway, it's fascinating.
Okay, so that's fascinating. I disagree with you, but it's a fascinating counterpoint. Fascinating. It's the thing that makes it such a fascinating story from the outside. Is he doing that deliberately, the boss? Wow, that's a good question. He's caught fascinating fever. I think he's the original, the OG fascinating file. Just use a different word, people. It's not that easy.
No, it is.
What's a different word for it? Interesting. Okay, what else? Okay, yep, good. Two words.

Chapter 4: What are the highlights from the upcoming segments?
Controversial. He went up to side bottom, went forward, got the goal. I thought I'll really have a close listen and see if I can hear any of the umpire chatter. Yeah, because that's been the talk, hasn't it? About Jay Clark saying that the umpires were going to- Reference names. Correct. And that's when we put our little song together. Just tighten up on that.
And I'll just, I don't know whether you heard it or not.
Stand cam, cam, at two meters. That umpire Mike is so clear, aren't they?
So clear.
I know.
Even Mitch, I feel for Mitch. He's come through loud and clear, and so have the umpires. That's all I could think of last night when the 50 come up. I nearly started laughing while we were doing the coverage. Very tense. Have you noticed a lot of people, a lot of people, let's move straight through that, are starting to look at our little pick and stick. Now, I need to set the rules.
What are the rules? Well, what's the number one requirement for pick and stick? That is the number one. And you've got to be loud and proud. You've got to be strong to be part of the pick and stick fraternity. You've got to call it. There is only one option. You can't sit on the fence. Spot on. There is only one name. Gary went with this on AFL 360. Now, I understand they would love to be.
He didn't. On 360? Hold, he did not. Hang on. Gary. Have a listen to the intro.
No. No, it's about making people better, right? This is the intro he went with. This is footy nerd stuff. I think you've been warned. We just want one answer. So you've got to, there's three options here, three decisions. Who are you taking, Naziah or Cozzy?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of managing player minutes effectively?
All I'm saying, Ned, is he would be handy tonight. Would have been pretty handy. Craig Kelly, the CEO, came in hot on locked in last night in the commentary box. Off the back of the criticism around my thoughts that they prioritised the individual with Scott Penderbury on Anzac Day and not the team.
And they could have managed his minutes far more effectively and really restricted him in the second half of that game so that he was there last night. Looking at Howe's minutes as well, he played the most game time out of any Collingwood player last week. Same probably could be said for him. He played 110 minutes. But they were never playing. But they should have been.
Chapter 6: How did the discussion on player management affect team performance?
Why? Because they could have... I don't understand your logic here. What do you mean they were never playing? Never risking their... Plans change.
Never risking... You've talked about their age for 18 months.
Chapter 7: What insights does Dean Cox provide about modern coaching?
They were never playing on a five-day break because of the risk of injury. But there wouldn't have been the risk of injury if Scott Pendlebury had played 60 minutes and not 100.
But if he plays 60 and then has to back up five days later, there's still a higher risk.
60 minutes is a training run. Of course you can back up.
No, I disagree. Gunston backs up.
I think you map these things out well in advance and you stick to your plans.
Regardless of miles, cones or medals.
When you realise McCreary is out and he's sore, and if you had that option to have a fresh Scott Pendlebury off 60 minutes versus 100 because you were chasing a disposal record and another Anzac Day medal, you could have easily played him last night.
If he plays last night, they win.
No, I don't know. If he plays last night, they win. He was never playing last night.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast wrap up with listener feedback?
But he should have been playing last night. Of a five-day break, he was never playing.
But he could have easily played if it was off 60 minutes. Easily.
That's a training run. I disagree. They train for 60 minutes. Once he settled up last week, he was never playing last night.
So that means he can... When does he play? When does he play? Yeah. What do you mean? Well, if you cannot back up off 60 minutes, which they could have managed his minutes five days later, then you're never playing. You're never playing. No. I don't know how you got to that level. Why could you not have managed his minutes in a game you were never, ever, ever losing? Never losing.
You were never losing against Essendon. You certainly weren't losing at halftime. Why couldn't you have played him for 10 minutes in the second half and then have him back up? Easily could have been done. I could see him not playing against Essendon and playing against Hawthorne. But once he played against Essendon, he was never playing five days later. He's a finely tuned athlete, Kingy.
His age is the reason why they're not taking any risks with him.
I know that.
The guy that did a calf in a prelim last year, they just don't want to have that situation again. Well, I just think that's the wrong, once you make the decision that he's going to go around again, you can easily manage him effectively during the game. No, you've got to manage the product. You can't just say, oh, he's going around again. That's what I'm saying. Push him out.
No, I'm telling you that you can manage him. That's what you're doing. So you think it was a smart idea to play him for 92% of that last quarter?
