Chapter 2: What injuries impacted the teams this week?
Like if it was outside of game day, he would not be doing that. So there's your first oversight. The fact that the bridge is far too narrow.
Too small.
And you can't fix that. It's a real blow. Walk back with Dwayne. He gets a lot of feedback. You had to walk back. Of course you did. Over the bridge. So we bypassed the bridge and went the other way.
Get your steps up. I'm not sure it was a great idea.
It was Dwayne's idea.

Chapter 3: What are the key highlights from last night's game?
I'm not sure it was.
I'm not sure it was a shortcut.
Well, he had a suitcase with him. Yeah, he was dragging something with him. He's a beauty. I love catching up with Dwayne. That's the beauty of getting away. You do get to catch up with your teammates. Two quiet ones after? No, it was a bit late. It snuck up on me a little bit, actually. Well, you were pretty happy because if Adelaide lost, you were going to be in the other rooms.
Got to be tight late. The post-match post-match. You got out of there a fraction early because of that. The scrambles for Revo Fitness, no locking contracts, no hidden fees, just $9.69 per week for 24-7 access to any Revo Fitness across the country. Big week. Been a big week. What's happened this week? Just, you know... Random stuff? Yeah, it's just always... Locked in? Always solid.
Locked in style?
We locked in. We locked in and I... Just been waiting to hear these words from our resident cricket finance weather expert. What's he done? Have a listen to this from Tom Morris. A really strong admission here.
What?
Maybe not. Well, I don't know if Jordan's awake, so we'll get the audio number five. It says, Tom, I was wrong. I'm going to say this. I'm only going to say it once I'm locked in. I was wrong about Cam Green. Thank you. Record that. That's on our button bar forever. Say that again, Tom. I was wrong about Cam Green.
And the next time you bring up, you know, you meet it, don't include me in that because we're allowed to change it. That's fine. I won't include you, but there's about five others that I need to hear those words from as well. Now, that's locked in. What day is that one? That was on Tuesday, locked in with Tom. Has Sammy Watson found a way on air? He has. Hang on a minute. He has. Hang on.

Chapter 4: How does the performance of Adelaide Football Club compare?
This was on news.com. because we filmed a little – it was like a pilot for the footy fan network. Look, it's not an original idea. This idea has emerged from overseas, and it was me just having a debate with some – Another idea you stole. Is that what you're saying? It wasn't my idea. I was just – Whose idea was it? I was just the talent, as they say. You can't call yourself the talent.
That's what they say. I didn't say I say it. You said it. I said that's as they say. You got stuck. No, it was an initiative thought up or borrowed from Backchat, which is Will Schofield's crew. Good idea, by the way. Not really. Just because there's holes in it. It came together very late on a Tuesday. That was the only little window. Are you watering this down a little bit? No, no, no.
I didn't put the cast together, which I said on Locked In. but there was invitations going out everywhere and some people couldn't make it. So the next time that there is an episode of, I'm sure, like they were invited to the first time, everyone will be included. But what I did want to mention was, so this was on news.com and Keelan Hughes was the journalist.
Cane Corns and footy content creators slammed over lack of diversity in new show. And at the last little paragraph, he says, Cane Corns and the Footy Fan Network have been contacted for comment. Now, Keelan. Keelan. Keelan Hughes. I don't know Keelan. I never received any requests for comment. And in fact, the night before, Ash Brown had asked me for comment on Locked In, and I had commented.
So if you're going to say I've been asked for comment, at least contact me and ask me for comment. Mr. Coolance, can I ask you for comment? Particularly after I'd already commented and responded on my own radio show the night before. It didn't include that. No, it was part of Ash Brown's take on sport media. It was a lot of fun and the fans were great. They all have huge platforms now.
They cover their clubs so well. And I think it's a concept that will work. And everyone was invited and some couldn't make it. Is that the bottom line? That was what I asked. So I asked the guys, how did this sort of come about? And they said there were invitations that went out to some magnificent females that cover the game and they were unable to make it.
Maybe as a make-up you can go and do a couple of podcasts. Yeah, I'm happy to. I know you did during the week. I've done a couple. You did the Richmond one during the week. I did the Kangas TV one a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago now. With Marnie? With Marnie. Yep. Terrific. They do a great job. Kanga TV. That's pretty much an easy one for me.
That's a bit of a passion piece rather than a chore. Chris at Richmond, you sat down with? Yeah. Our man works at Sherin. So I thought it would be unfair to take 70 Sherins from- Balls for Ballers. Balls for Ballers style. And Clayton have been our first lucky winners. I thought it would be a bit unfair to take, take, take and not give back. So I did a bit of Richmond. Difficult discussion.
It is. Where Richmond are at with their list and how they're playing and all that sort of stuff without being nasty. And the coach, which you questioned on Monday. No, I didn't question the coach. I just questioned. Well, you questioned the club. Is he going to free things up a little bit? Yeah, that's questioning the coach. The method. Okay. Yeah, not the coach. The coach is a good fella.

Chapter 5: What are the latest injury concerns for the Crows and Cats?
Their injury concerns are mounting. Archie, the latest, and when you get repeated soft tissue... He's fourth, I think. Yeah, and so there was State of Origin that sort of kicked this off, and then he had that really nasty one against the Western Bulldogs, which kept him out. He went back for the sample, came back. So that's a concern. Rankin is absolutely a concern with the soft tissue stuff.
Thilthorpe's back. Not sure he can do a whole heap about that and how he's going, but... Darren Burgess is off in Italy looking after a soccer team, I believe. So maybe that was the biggest blow and loss of any team with the renowned fitness guru Darren Burgess leaving the footy club after their injury list was so good last year. Well, yeah, I can't comment on that.
But what I do know is that Archie played Tom Stewart perfectly. He did, didn't he? And he just has a happy knack of understanding what's required, when to get dangerous, when to be on him, when to be off him. I thought he was brilliant. And he basically rendered the intercept game of Tom Stewart useless. He had three for the night. I think he had one at halftime. He was a non-factor in the game.
And he was getting frustrated. You could just see him starting. We've been waiting for it.
Chapter 6: How did Archie play against Tom Stewart?
We've been waiting for it.
What a good reason not to take it. Oh, man.
We talk about it every week. People say, you know, the feedback here, oh, stop talking about Cameron and Stuart when you're talking about Geelong. Well, that's the game.
You know, if you can do those two guys, you go a long way to winning. So Archie's a bit of a loss.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the upcoming matches for both teams?
Huge loss. Western Bulldogs Thursday night at Marvel is going to be large as well. So for both of those teams, regardless of what happens for the Dogs tonight. But Adelaide, a good opportunity to get themselves going there. Tex?
What'd you think of Tex?
I thought he was clean. That's what I thought. I thought he was smart. Clean and smart.
Yeah.
In those conditions. But once it was a great, I thought the jewel was, was awesome. Um, but nah, he, he did his job very well last night. I thought. Yeah, it was terrific. I, I, It reads as a 13-disposal game, couple of goals. You think, oh, yeah, that's pretty good in those conditions. But it was more than that.

Chapter 8: What were the key takeaways from Chris Scott's comments?
He brought the ball to ground. He's tapping the ball onto advantage of teammates and keeping flow in play was terrific. And the story was Hulkahan, wasn't it? I mean, it just felt like sometimes you just bring these youngsters in and he's a mature-age recruit, so he's not as young as the next guy. But it brought an investment, didn't it, a bit of an emotional investment to the group and –
It's interesting, Chad, isn't it, that a guy can come in, do a one training session with you, and then play that level of AFL footy.
How would you be feeling if you were a senior listed Crows player, I don't know, Peddler, Chase Jones, and a guy that's been picked up a week ago is getting a game before you?
I know there's two ways to look at it and everything you said was really special last night for him and there was something about just the energy and the enthusiasm and the dare to take the game on that hasn't been there at Adelaide. But yeah, I'd be looking at it if I was Chase Jones going, I'm a top 10 pick and I can't get a look in. Yeah. So maybe that puts a rocket up them as well.
Well, there was a moment, you'll remember, the ball was going deep. Dangerfield was calling for it and Hawkehan was stuck on him. And I thought, oh, he's going to get rolled here. Paddy's just going to put him in a spin. And he spoiled the ball, bored the ground and was involved in the chain of play, bringing it from deep, deep, top of goal square down back.
And I thought, wow, that's just such a moment for that young man to say, I can play at the level. Sometimes it takes a while to work out whether you belong. And I think straight away he goes, yep, I can play. I can play at this level. Yeah, he was great for them. All right, we'll get to some of the more controversial issues out of last night and get Kingy's thoughts on that, as well as yours.
We've got lines available. You can jump on the phone and have you say, you guys know the number. We'll also hear from Chris Scott. as he unpacks the emotions of last night's loss. We're here for Avalon Airport. Arrive faster and park easier for your trip to Adelaide. Book your next trip from Melbourne Avalon Airport today. Back with your calls next.
I don't know whether this is the right way to think about it, but a way to think about it is losing to the Crows at the Adelaide Oval is not a game lost to the competition. And most teams are going to struggle in that game. In a way, if we had won, it would have been a game won to the rest of the competition. It's hard because of the emotional bit.
I was going to say we shouldn't walk away devastated, and now I'm thinking to myself, but I am devastated. Like, you know, we've probably... We feel like the game was there for us to win, and we didn't quite grab it. But that is, to an extent, the competition we're in. Chris Scott there. I think it's the Giants next week at home, then a trip to Fremantle.
