Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
The Socceroos fans breathe a big sigh of relief and now they spring into the attack. It's Nestor Iraconda! He's done it!
What a goal from one end of the pitch to the other!
Nestor here and Kunda Yustar! An Australian courtesy of an errant touch by a Turkish player on the attack here, it's Connor Metcalf!
Oh my word!
Oh my goodness! What a goal by Connor Metcalf! Something out of nothing for the edge of the penalty area! it is an arrow-like finish with the left peg and he's now smothered by jubilant Australians and why not the Socceroos hear this back in Australia lead Turkey by two goals to nil
We're all soccer fans this morning. I watched my first soccer game in two years and it was magnificent. Simon Hill there over there for SEN. Absolutely dominating. Love the fact that he called it Turkey as well after some of the interesting names it was called yesterday. He couldn't quite work that out. Hey, good morning.
Get up early, do the work, because there's never been more to get through this morning. What a weekend it was in the world of sport. JK is going to join us in a prominent position this morning to run us through all of it. And then all your usual segments that you love. Tom Morris here for the agenda. Pick and stick. Hoff or not is back. Danny Daly's a baller out of Brisbane.
They've turned their season back around. And the best analyst in football is always here with me. His name is David Kinkin. Good morning. Good morning, Cornsy. Great to see you this morning. What a chock-full weekend it was, even though, you know, it was a bit light on with the highlights footy-wise. Yes. There was a bit going on yesterday, wasn't there?
I've never seen so many tossers make out they love soccer in all my life.

Chapter 2: What were the key highlights from the Socceroos' match against Turkey?
I know. Look, I said to Sammy, how did he go? How did our man go? Because he's making us proud on the international stage. I said, how did he go? And he said, I'll play you the goals.
Where was he? Simon Hill.
Simon Hill.
Where the hell's JK?
He's allowing this to happen too regularly. He needs a manager. Can you manage him?
I've seen what Mark Howard's done for Matty Hill and talked him out of doing stuff for nothing now to get cash for everything.
And I think we need that sort of intervention with Jacob. Yes.
Yep. He's become a human stepladder. He's just letting people just climb above him willy-nilly.
Yeah, he does the heavy lifting and lets the others come over the top for the glory. The meaningless games. He's in trouble when he rings in.

Chapter 3: How did the hosts react to the weekend's sporting events?
He's in trouble. Hey, look, I don't know where to start, but I watched First Crack last night. Did you? Liked it. Liked it. It was a bit light on them for the round, for big discussion pieces. Average games. But I do have one bone to pick with you a little bit later on, if you don't mind. If you don't mind. I don't mind. I don't mind. We'll get to that a little bit later on.
And I've also got a bone to pick with one of our others, Josh Jenkins, who couldn't join us on Friday for his usual update, thanks to our good friends at Sportsbet. And the triple agent sensed a bit of airtime and stormed in the studio quicker than you know what. Anytime he can sense some airtime, he's here. He's got a headset out on the back just in case we need him. Just in case, I'm ready.
Sammy, not now. Sit down. Stand down. So Jenkins is not here, Jerker Jenkins. And we go, okay, I don't know what he's up to. But then after the program is finished, we see a photograph posted to social media of him on the Footy and Friends podcast. Is that right? Which I believe records at around 8 o'clock. No. With our man... With our man, this guy.
Oh, Sheridan!
We got bumped. We got bumped for, oh, Sheridan. Now I thought, gee, it'd want to be good. It'd want to be good if he's, particularly with the week that you and I had last week, if he's superseded us for, oh, Sheridan. So I went back and I had a listen. And this is what he went with. We're in Aries Inlet at the moment. So I drove in this morning. I only took two hours.
That's Moggs Creek, Dangerfield area. It's Aries Inlet, yeah. Yeah, which is next to... It's Danger's Inlet. I think Moggs would be even further. So you must live... Like a stone's throw. Depends on your arm, but yeah. That's a goal, man.
Are you enjoying it? I'm going around for dinner tonight with Danger.
How much of the Great Ocean Road have you got to tackle before you get back on the freeway? That's the worst road in the world. Yeah, I've heard that. You get stuck behind a tourist's curtains. You can't pass anyone on that road. I wouldn't live in Airy's Inlet. That went to air. That actually went to air. That's what he ignored us for.
Don't speak twice.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of player performances for the Socceroos' future?
Yeah, it's pretty important that you get the ball in the back of the net if you do dominate. But look... What a moral victory for the Poms. That's it. Well, not our areas clearly, but a lot of ballers this morning it is. How did they do that? How did the Aussies get that done when they did dominate possession as far as I could tell? But JK will be all over that for us this morning. Hey...
What else went crazy on Friday was, see, the ballers don't miss, do they? And when we had Matthew Nix on. Oh, yeah. Your eyes were diverted to the text machine. See, I sort of just tend to let the text machine just trickle away and sometimes forget it's even there. It's the gap between you and I. I'm the man of the people. You just separate yourself.
No, when you've got to keep things on track, Kingy, if you get distracted, it's no good. It's the most awful radio. You start reading text and you should be controlling the program. That's your job and you did it very, very well because you put this to Matthew Nix on Friday. Now, Nixie, we've got a texter here that's sick of the renovation that's taking so long and is so large.
He's sick of the trucks and the utes going up and down the street. What is the go with this renovation of yours? Have you got something going on that we need to know about?
No. You're talking about the new facility? Well, there's a man saying that you're getting a house reno done. Is that correct? Oh, yeah, we're putting a little eater on the back. Oh, hang on. A little eater. Sounds a bit more than that.
What do they call it? Another little toilet out the back? Just a toilet.
So, do you want to describe this little lean-to? Mate, he's building the Taj Mahal. So, I don't know how this happened. I don't know whether it was just coincidence that the advertiser were going to just film his mates or whether they are ballers. I reckon they're ballers. And they found their way out there and they put it to line.
Now, I had to text Nixie and say, mate, that is no little easel on the back.
What?

Chapter 5: What key moments defined the close win against West Coast?
We did do enough, you know, we tackled well, we applied a lot of pressure. And particularly, you know, around the end of the first quarter and start of the second, you know, Harley got going, lit the fuse, you know, in the last part of the first quarter and early part of the second.
And, you know, to rally from that when we were significantly challenged when we were on the road and, you know, the West Coast crowd got behind their side and we could have really easily folded at that point in time, particularly after last week's loss.
Alistair Clarkson speaking there on their close win against West Coast in Perth. Fine line between pleasure and pain. Kingy, you did this game. Your first thoughts here? Well, it's just the same. Are your glass half full or empty? On North. Yes. I don't think you can be overly glowing of their performance.
Chapter 6: How do Kane and Kingy assess North Melbourne's performance?
So I think you'd have to just be happy with half a glass. Could you say that... We've been less than half a glass in the pot. Could you say there's six wins from their 13, which is a better position that they've been in in the last little bit? Yeah, yeah. And look, most of the quarters won have been against the bottom 10 teams, which doesn't show as much progress as what you'd hoped.
So if the season finished today, I think it would just be a so-so performance. Would you rather be... West Coast or North Melbourne, who's closer to winning the next final between those two teams? Well, that's a good chat, which I found myself having with consoling North fans despite the win on the weekend. If Ruben Ginby plays, West Coast win by five goals. Yeah.
Because Larkin and Darling don't have the luxuries that they had. Yeah. And in the end, that was the difference. They were just one quality key defender short, the Eagles. And then, of course, Dersmer doesn't play. Now, Dersmer and O'Sullivan probably offset. But the key defender was... And Jimby's been in really good form. He has. Like, seriously good form. Yeah, he has.
So they actually got them at the right time. But... Look, I don't know the answer to that. I do know that Harley Reid is grabbing games by the throat for larger sections now than what he has done. What was five minutes or 10 minutes last year is now 25 minutes, 30 minutes. It's not the 120, but we're starting to see...
That real dominance and anger and club-dragging drive that he has come with me for longer periods. So do the Kangaroos have that player? She's will get you by stealth. Maybe it's Wardlaw, but he doesn't seem to have the damage on the outside that Reid has. So I don't think you can ever win it or even win a final without a torchbearer. Eagles have got theirs.
I'm just not sure who it is for the Kangas. And the Eagles aerial power, which you discussed last night, but Shanahan's ended up taking five contested marks and could have won it for them. And I love the fact that he's made of the right stuff because he missed that easier shot and then takes another contested mark moments later and goes back and kicks the check side.
It wasn't even looking to pass it off. And then Duff Teitler takes a big contested mark late. Then even like Bazzo was taking contested marks. I think they're... Their aerial power is something that's going to be hard to combat in the coming years because Duff Titlett's going to be something else. This is year one, and he's already showing signs.
Shanahan, you mentioned his draft position last night and all the clubs that overlooked him, particularly Richmond, but I don't know what the upside is on him and where he can get to, but that's where I think they've got the edge, is not only Dersmer and Reid, but the aerial power that they've got.
Well, just the versatility too. So the coach is not afraid of throwing him down back and then throwing him back forward. Or behind the ball. Like do it all, right?

Chapter 7: What insights does Danny Daly share about the Brisbane Lions' season?
In and gone. He took three of the biggest pack marks you'll see on the weekend, and he's only played 23 games of footy, and it's just so exciting when you've got someone like this.
Now, they're well on their way to showing some signs, and Mini was under pressure probably four weeks ago. It's a loss, I understand that, but, gee, they were pretty good for the side they had there. If they had have won this game, they would have won with less.
And that's a good space for the coach to live in. And as we keep saying every Monday, no quote has aged worse than Brady Rawlings saying that he's not going to bolster their defensive stocks in the offseason. We got Dawson. We got Logue. We got Pinky. Yeah, that was a big mistake, Brady, who should be feeling the pressure. But shout out to Nick Larkey. We put it on him on Friday.
He was in the gun. Excellent performance. Four goals, nine scoring. Took a couple of big marks up the ground as well. So... He definitely responded on a night where they didn't have that many winners. She's a winner, definitely. Darling winner. Lucky winner. They didn't have a whole lot of winners across the board, I didn't think.
Yeah. And I think North fans are a little bit, they're starting to get a bit angry, I reckon. They've gone from upset to a little bit angry, like what's happening, what's going on, and much to do with the defensive stuff.
I just knew the Eagles were going to get another look. I just knew. I didn't know who it was going to be, and I knew it was going to be a defensive breakdown of sorts. It wouldn't have mattered who it was. You just knew. So that's a scary place to live too, isn't it? Because even when you're good, you've shown that there's a little white flag in there somewhere.
And do they have the killer instinct is the question I guess we're asking this morning because this pricked my interest from the skipper who we just pumped up, but Nick Larkey was interesting after the game.
It was great sportsmanship from you just then getting around Jake Waterman. What did you have to say?
I mean, as much as we love winning, you hate seeing that when the opportunity is there for him. But as I said, he's a gun, absolute gun. I watch a lot of his stuff. We'd love to play a bit more like him. That's footy. He's kicked some rippers this year, so, yeah, it's bad luck, but it's... Yeah, luck went our way, which is... It hasn't for a while. So, yeah, we'll take that win for sure.

Chapter 8: What major announcement does the Victorian minister for sport make?
No way. Not after his form. Surely it is pink for Logue on Thursday's selection at North Melbourne this week. That was our first thoughts. We'll continue them on the other side of this for Host Plus. 017 just sent in, Jordan won six rings. Larkies won six games. That's a bit harsh.
That's all I needed for him to do that, and it became personal with me.
Sorry for the Michael Jordan reference. Back after the news.
It's a fine line between pleasure and pain You've done it once, you can do it again Whatever you've done, though
All right, good morning to you, ballers. Flying through, still to come, Tom Ross. He would be in the building. He's gone international, the agenda. He'll stay for that. Got a big story. Pick and stick. Does he have a big story?
Yeah, yeah. I can't reveal anything until he comes in later.
Do not go anywhere for that breaking story with Tom Morris. Hoff or not, a big special announcement exclusive to Fireball this morning. Stick around for that, sports fans and Danny Daly. As we continue with our first thoughts, what else came across your desk over the weekend? You loved what Cozzy did, I saw. Oh, yeah. Now, since round six...
He's in the top three or four players in the comp with our champion data ratings points, which are a damage rating, really. It's what you do offensively, what you do with the footy, with your efficiencies and your ability to win it. That doesn't add in the fact that he wants to cut you in half with his tackles. He could be the most dangerous tackler in the game right now.
Have you seen him just lean and drill rugby style? I was worried. I spoke about this on Agenda Setters earlier on in the year. I was worried about his tackle technique because he puts his head in really dangerous spots. Worry about the blug he's tackling because he has a happy knack. Of landing on your ribs. Yeah. That real drive is just a beauty. And he's breaking into the podium.
