Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Shout out to the 701ers. Good morning if you're just waking up to us on Fireball. This morning we're about to launch into our first thoughts as we talk some serious footy after a reasonable split round of the game for Signet. Life's never flat when you power every moment with the Signet Powerbank, signet.com.
Tom Morris, Dean Cox, still to come and your feedback on the program before nine o'clock. As we head to Perth last night for, I'm not sure, maybe the worst game of footy you'll ever see in tricky conditions, it must be said, but. No new coach bounce for the Bombers as they went down to the Eagles by 30 points. A team that won one game last year, of course.
Harley Reid kicked one of the best goals you've ever seen. He ended up with 1-4. But there was balls going all over the place. And unfortunately, it was a tough start for Dean Solomon. Here he is speaking after the game.
It looked like the way we wanted to play for a good period of time. There was a period from the 18-minute mark of the second quarter through the 18-minute of the third quarter where we conceded eight goals. And we lost... We lost our composure, the ball in hand, we lost our head. Our discipline was not where we needed it to be and we couldn't get the game back on our terms.
And to West Coast credit, their pressure went up, their contested possession went up and they're playing a good brand of footy and we really respect what they're doing. But I felt like we could have navigated that time within the game a lot better and we'll educate on that. But there's also periods early in the second quarter where we really liked what we saw.
There he was. Kingy, what did you make of that game that was hard to watch?
I think we've got an epidemic first before we start with coaches' press conferences that just give nonsense raps to teams that are awful and make it look like they're world beaters. Oh, they were great.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of West Coast's win over Essendon?
They're in great form. They're a great side.
There's a lot of that going on.
We're going to call it out for you. Yeah, let's do that, actually. It's the press conference polish.
Yep.
Oh, yeah, no, they're a great side. No, they're not. They've won about three games in two years. They're not a great side. As a matter of fact, they're far from it. The more you look at the Eagles, the more I think you have to stipulate to the resurgence of Tim Kelly.
I think he had a fight on his hands at the start of this season to be a significant contributor again for the Eagles, and I think he's won a lot of people back with just his effort and his attitude to compete. He had a lot of touches. He didn't have his best night. It wasn't an outstanding performance or anything, but he's become a – a solid contributor again. I thought we'd lost him.
I thought he was done. I wouldn't have given him two years. I thought that was it. And in fact, I was critical of them giving him two years. And he did. He lost his place in a side that was, as you said, one of the poorest sides we've seen in the last 20 years, the Eagles, and could have get a game there. So well done to McWalter for his resurgence.
Tim Gossage's man, Milan Murdoch, kicked the first goal of the game, kicked three for him.
On his birthday, I'll never forget it, you couldn't have given him less. I had to pick Goss up off the deck a couple of times.

Chapter 3: What challenges does Chris Fagan face at Brisbane?
It's just blast it in and we'll see if we can get a crumb.
So, hand on heart, I watched about 5% of this game. I was at the Emmanuel Thirds on Saturday watching my young fella running around. But I did stream a little bit of it on my phone. It wasn't dissimilar. They've had 170 put on them. 170.
No, but 25-20. It could have been 200 easily.
45 scoring shots so Dean Cox will tell us about the Sydney point of view on the other side of this but I've heard nothing about it you're right I've heard no criticism of Richmond since
And they didn't play Grundy. So there's 170, right? 25-20 without Grundy. No Papley. They took Heaney off halfway through the last quarter, McCartan off halfway through the last quarter, Blakey off halfway through the last quarter. Like, it could have been a big, big number.
And I'm just looking at the Tigers saying, okay, do we just move – is it just, okay, this is their lot up against a really good side? We get it. We get Sinear a good side. But I'm more concerned about their ball in the forward half just being blasted.
Tigers fans, how are you feeling as the season comes to an end after round 12? Drive for show, putt for dough for golf clearance outlet. We beat everyone's prices. So just a word on the Giants and how you see them because you said they will not be finishing in the wildcard position.
No, they're up and running now and they've got some youngsters that are starting to make a name for themselves. Phoenix Gothard looks like he's – the boom on him, the chat about him for 18 months before we even saw him. It was, oh, no, wait for Phoenix, wait for – and I'm thinking, here we go, one of these wait for Phoenixes again, right? It's the next Cloak. It's the next Harvey.
Wait for Phoenix. You know what I mean? It was one of those chats. And I'm thinking, okay, well, let's just wait and see. But now you see it. You think, okay, there's a magnet that's going nowhere. Harvey Thomas is now a game-shaping wingman. He hits the scoreboard. And whilst he looks small, he doesn't play small. He's one of those guys. Daniels makes a difference, doesn't he? Yeah.
