Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
King. Alright, it is a very good morning. 4.01 from the house that Tim Gossage built. Big show coming up. Bit of a somber feeling here this morning. We'll get to the reasons as you all know why shortly. Sammy Mitchell is going to join us. Jordan Degoe, all the segments that you know and love for a Fireball Friday.
Your feedback, the agenda and we will review Wharfie time last night as the Dockers kick inaccurately but still get it done against a pretty good Geelong outfit. Our first thoughts coming up after 7 o'clock. My co-host is the best analyst in football. He's back in Melbourne. Couldn't bother us making the trip over to Perth last night. His name is David Kinke. Good morning.
Got the midnight horror back. She's a rough one, isn't she? It's a rough flight. I was looking for you over here. I didn't find you. I couldn't see you anywhere. We've got a good contingent in Perth. We've got a good representation. Cracking game. What a game of footy.
Chapter 2: What are the key highlights from last night's game?
Good game. It just felt like a final last night. I'll tell you what, I'm going to have to ring our boys from Luxury Escapes because I think we're sending Justin Longmuir guts up to the Maldives. It's looking that way. I caught up with him in the coach's room pre-game last night, and I resisted the urge to tell him, hey, we're sending you to the Maldives. I was very disciplined.
Let me tell you, I wanted to say it, but... But I didn't. But we'll get to that after seven. Can I just share my thoughts on Modra and everyone in the whole footy community? Well, everyone really. Just praying that he pulls through this.
I spoke to Dad when I got off air last night and didn't really have any updates other than it was sounding a bit more positive, he thought, than when the first... When the first news broke, so, I don't know, just every childhood footy memory I've got is centered around Tony Modra.
He was the absolute hero of mine, and to every Crows fan, to everyone who grew up in the 90s, to everyone that has known and loved this guy, post his footy career and everything he's done, we're all thinking of you this morning. Mods, let's pull through. And the family. It's always hard for the family to get this sort of news, so the AFL will do this really well.
They'll wrap their arms around the family and go well, mods. Get well soon. Any updates, we will provide them to you throughout the morning. But we'll continue on as we do on Fireball, as mods would want us to do. Love the good time, love the beer, and one of the best ever. So we'll push through as we always do on Fireball, don't worry about that.
We're scrambling through for Revo Fitness, no locking contracts, no hidden fees, just $9.69 per week for 24-7 access. I got in the studio this week, Kingy, with the triple agent. Hang on, hang on a minute. I did. We've hit a bit of a snag.
What's happened?
Well, the sort of tune that we put down... Hang on a minute.
Have we got a tune? I like this already.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Tony Modra's situation?
I couldn't believe it. I had to contact my people who had to contact the Herald Sun and Epstein and all sorts of issues went on. Then I actually saw Jackie on Tuesday. for the Legends game announcement. And I almost didn't want to face her in that moment. I was so disappointed. Anyway, I told her she's trying to get me sacked. She disagreed. She thought it was funny. But...
I'm thinking about flicking her an invoice. Why not? Because she doesn't really have to do too much. Just listen to the program. Catches up on who's doing what. I have three this week. Three. So the triple agent and I put our heads together. It's not that good because it's... We can only play just a tiny, just a tiny bit of what we call that. No, we're not playing the lot.
These are not the rules. Yeah, you've made the rules.
I know.
You're four to the floor. They're my rules. We can only play the first verse. So we can only play this, and I'm sorry if it leaves you wanting more. Oh. Friday morning and the clicks are low. Page 13 don't have much to show. Need something that will click. She knows just the thing. Kane Collins and David King. That's it.
That is it. That is it. There's more than that. Sammy? Yes, he's nodding. There's got to be more than that.
That's it.
I like the tune. Oh, we knew you were an ABBA fan. Oh, yeah. I actually, I've got a couple of ABBA things that we could do. I'm just not sure who's going to be the blonde and who's going to be the brunette just yet, but we'll draw that out down the track. You know what? Can we just give us a couple of weeks off? Jackie, just give us a couple of weeks off. There's no chance.
Let us lay low for a minute. There's no chance. I'm nominating you. I don't know what's wrong with you sometimes. I sometimes just question some of your moves, some of your stuff. You've done the most un-Australian thing I've ever seen this week. You could win the un-Australian of the year award, which is a hard award to win. You've just given her a headline again. We've just got two weeks off.

Chapter 4: How do Kane and Kingy approach their Friday segments?
You know, you can get $61, 5-0 USA. Give me a spell. My friends at Sportsbet asked me for a tip, and I said the bubble's... The bubble's going to burst. You can't do 5-0. I hope it's not.
It was the reverse.
No, it was the reverse Moz. I thought if I put that out there, it's the reverse Moz. It's the most un-Australian thing I've ever heard of. We're no chance tomorrow. We're no chance. But that might be right, right? But you can't be choosing 5-0. I'm happy with 1-0. Maybe 2-1. 2-1 would be a great result. The fighting Aussies.
I'm right behind you, boys. 5-0.
I am behind. I'll be up. I'll be watching. I'm right behind it. But I just don't think. Anyway, the soccer fans, give us your thoughts. Can we knock them off?
I don't think we can. Can we knock them off?
You're going to go from 5-0, can we knock them off? That's my tip, but I've got no idea what I'm talking about. Zero. The soccer ball spent more time in the onion bag than getting kicked around. Well, they won their first game 4-1. It's a good topic, right? That's on the podium for me for this year. We haven't even hit the end of the financial year.
Most un-Australian thing.
Temper text, light up, please. Everyone, let us know. What is knocking Kane off the podium for the un-Australian of the year? Which is a good award. Does that make the ball Australian? I'm already in your ball Australian team. You've had a strong week, I've got to say. I want to add Epstein to the ball of fame though.

Chapter 5: What were the expected scores in the recent Dockers vs. Cats game?
I love it. I think they built something really special. I'm not a big believer in expected scores, right? Oh, okay. I'm believing in some crowds. No, crowds. Obviously, it's a massive advantage. What was the expected score last night? 50 points. I should have won by 50 points. And it sort of felt, even when the scoreboard read Geelong's favourite, it felt that way.
I got a little bit of feedback online about maybe being a bit too pro-frio, but they were doing a lot right and just not getting any reward for it.
Chapter 6: What feedback did Kane receive about his commentary on Freo?
Even if they had been rolled last night, I still think there would have been... Some positives for Freo. But nine points in the end. Like... We'll get to the Cats in a minute. They just... They just found a way to leave the door ajar and give the Cats hope at all stages in that game, didn't they? Yeah. That's one you just, we've lost grand finals because of poor goal kicking.
This is probably not them. But once it starts with them, they couldn't correct that last night, could they?
Chapter 7: What insights did Justin Longmuir share about the team's performance?
It was hard to watch. So they could gate nine, I think, from set shots and hit the post three times. Or one seven at one stage. One goal seven from set shots. And you're right, you're sort of weighing up, like, how do you sort of react to this? But you didn't really need to do too much because the game was largely exactly where they needed it to be.
So, hey, we'll get to the Cats on the other side of this. Before that, though, let's have a listen to Kingy's man, Justin Longmuir, summing up that performance last night.
First quarter, first half, yeah, we just didn't get bang for buck, which would have been pretty obvious, I would have thought. They preyed on our mistakes, felt like, whether we coughed the ball up or turned the ball over in areas that didn't allow us to defend, which gave them some pretty easy looks back the other way.
Clearly got our kicking boots on at half-time and would have kicked seven straight in the third.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of the upcoming games for the Cats?
And then I thought we'd ground out at last. There's some things we need to do a little bit better in the last, but I thought we'd ground out a really solid win, so... Whenever you win by a margin, that is the difference in the points tally. We won by nine points, I think, and kicked nine more points. It just feels like we made it a little bit closer than what we needed.
He's going that well. They may even offer him a contract, I would have thought. Our first thoughts for Signet. Life's never flat when you power every moment with the Signet Power Bank. Signet.com. We'll talk about the cats next. Talk to Luxury Escapes about a cash-out type scenario.

Kane and Kingy. I don't think we come away from the game, or we will come away from the game. devastated at where we were at. We had the chance to win the game. We thought we gave ourselves enough chances to really put them under pressure and just couldn't get it done in the end.
But if you take a step back, which we'll get a chance to do with the bike coming up, I suspect our takeaway will be we feel like we're in a spot where we can have a crack at it. And that's very easy to say and hard to do in this competition. Freo are clearly there. But there is an argument that it doesn't matter how easily you get to that point of contention.
The thing that matters is do you get there. And we think we've got that opportunity in front of us. So besides not getting the four points, I don't think we, besides that, we came away at least with our confidence in our game intact. Nine and six for the Cats sitting in third position. Went down by nine points. Did not disgrace themselves at all by this week.
Then they will get, you would think, Stewart and Smith back. Good opportunity to get Dangerfield arrest, Kingy. But I think he summed it up pretty well. I don't think they're on the top of the ladder in terms of the premiership fancies, but they're probably second rung with the likes of Hawthorne, maybe Adelaide and a couple of others. Yeah, but I... I'm getting a lot of feedback.
People think it was a bit like one side last night. I thought they were hammered last night. I thought they got smacked. And I know it's nine points, but you can live a bit of a false narrative with these sort of, yes, they didn't tag. Yes, Stewart wasn't there. And Smith makes a huge difference. Myers is clever.
forward of the ball so that you can make a lot of excuses and you can make or we can just pose a lot of a lot of discussions but last year they lost six games for the year in the home and away season they're sort of already there like it's There's a lot of footy to come, so no one's writing anyone off. But they're going to have to be a lot better than what they were last night, for me.
