Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim.
Hello everyone, good morning, great to have you with us.
Thursday, April the 23rd it is. It's the start of round seven tonight in what is a massive round of footy Anzac round. The Bulldogs take on the Sydney Swans at Marvel Stadium. Talk about that today amongst the A whole host of other things, including Tom Green, is going to join us in the studio. Sam Edmund is back. God knows where he's been. He's been everywhere except on our show.
So he's back out of 8 o'clock. George Samios, wonderful world of wine.
Chapter 2: What are the key matchups for the upcoming footy game?
Johnny from Epping's fired up, ready to go. And your calls and text messages, which yesterday broke all records for this station, which has been going for over 20 years. And yesterday was the all-time record SMS text day on the back of... the rustler, and the soft drinks.
Welcome, Whispers. Good morning. Good morning to you, Gary. Hey, I want to start with a bit of footy this morning. The Bond surely can't play. He was moving like sticky.
What are you talking about? It's three minutes past six o'clock. I haven't got my head around footy.
Come on. He can't possibly play, can he?
I didn't see it. What's going on? I know he's got a knee.
The vision that they showed of him at training with his knee all wrapped up and bandaged and he was hobbling around. He had a crutch. He's foxing. Then they had to put him in a wheelchair, wheel him off the ground. He's foxing. Then the wheelchair broke down and then Brooke had to put him on his back. He carried him off the ground at training.

Chapter 3: How do injuries impact team performance?
Psychological boost. Heaney out. Bontempelli gets to play. Lifts the dogs up for this massive clash with a reunion of the 2016 Premiership sides on.
I've been watching clips. Have you been watching any of the clips of the 2016 grand final against the Sydney Swans? Oh, it took me back to how tense that was, that game.
We talked about it with Thorce last night. It was unbelievable. What a great year it was. What an unbelievable, well, I was going to say, if you're a Western Bulldogs fan, we've got the number one Nuff fan out here. The way they got there from the elimination final, beating Simmo's team over there in Perth by 40 plus points.
First year of the bye, so they got that extra week at the end of the home in a way. He was filthy about that. Off air, was he?
Off air and on. He reckons they had 15 that were going to miss if they had that to play.
Yeah.
But they had the weekend off.
Hang on, hang on. Brook has just said in my ear, the Bulldog fan, I'm pretty sure West Coast got the bye too. Oh, yeah, no.
That evened it out.

Chapter 4: What are the highlights of past memorable footy games?
There it is. Ten years of just pent-up emotion coming out. They're going to be there, the players. Did you see Joel Hamling, who's now at the Sydney Swans? Mm-hmm. He's not playing.
No, no, he's not. And he's not an emergency.
No, he's not an emergency. I watch your show. I watch your show every night. So he can go down and be a part of the... Celebration.
I'm not sure if that's the reason. It'd be some sort of a celebration with all those boys when you go through the names.
Dane Rampey's back. That would be the reason, I would suggest. But anyway, what are we doing?
No, we shouldn't be because we should be talking about this because you left the program yesterday saying that we're talking about soft drinks yesterday. Today we're going to be talking about Big M. The first text message we got this morning from Riley. Good morning, fellas. I've been thinking about the question you left us with yesterday. I think Tim's favorite Big M flavor will be the egg flip.
Cheers, boys. Riley from the Murray. Is that a crack at me? Is he having a bit of fun? No, there was an egg flip. I know there was, but he might think that I flipped and flopped around.
I wasn't really a big milk drinker. I mean, we did the soft drink yesterday. I think if you're a country... Because it was like 40 degrees in Timboola and Kiabra. I mean, if you didn't neck the... I was a banana man. A banana began straight out of the cart and you let it sit in the sun for half a minute at a curdle.
No good. No good. I used to be the milk. Did you have milk delivered at primary school when you were a kid?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of mental health discussions in the AFL?
Sam Walsh in the team, in the consideration of the team? Look at him. Have a look at him.
He would be discussed. He's just got to tidy up a few things. But he's a very good player.
Bailey Smith has to tidy up a few things occasionally too. He goes off the reservation occasionally. He gave the AFL sort of a whack yesterday saying that he called out ā he called for a mental health round and then he then put out a tweet yesterday to the effect that nobody's listening to me. But they are ā
rewarding mediocrity by having the wild card round, but they don't want to actually then consider a mental health round. But everybody's forgotten the whole spud game thing.
No, no, they haven't. No, we talked about that yesterday.
No, but a lot of people have in this conversation, Gary, because even yesterday we had text messages about our mental health round. I said, well, there's already one. There's already a mental health round.
100%, and that's the leader. That's the... The vision and the foresight that St Kilda and the Frawley family have had to put that game on the agenda, use that. Expand that. Use that as the starting point for bringing it further. But we should never forget what the Spuds game's all about, and that's exactly what you're talking about.
So use it as the impetus to perhaps extend it out and get everyone involved. I think that would be a good thing.
Tyson Stengel at the moment.

Chapter 6: How does Chris Scott address player welfare in the AFL?
He texts, what did he text? He said again, he texts that, oh, reward mediocrity.
Yeah, reward mediocrity, yeah.
With a clown emoji.
Yeah. I don't think the AFL should whack him for anything. I don't think they should come hard down on him, but it's interesting that a lot of people made the point that the AFL supported him greatly. through a period of time, so much so that the CEO hopped in his car, drove down there and actually had a conversation with him.
And now here he is whacking the AFL, forgetting how much support he's received from them. But I think we want the players to be able to voice what they think from time to time.
But the AFL supporting him is great and Andrew Dillon jumping in the car is great. That doesn't buy blind loyalty. If he's got an opinion about something, he's absolutely entitled to his opinion. Yeah, no, I agree with that. I agree with that. And we of an older school generation would think, hmm, a bit disrespectful maybe with the clown emoji, but that's the world you live in.
Yeah, I send emojis to you all the time. Some of them make sense, some of them don't make sense. I sent a little poo one to you the other day, I think, didn't I? Over something you might have been saying during your commentary? Is Ross Lyon... About the tackle that Cozzy Pickett applied to one of our players that actually tripped him up?
I went back and looked at that. You're so wrong. Ross Lyon, sports day. Is he adding to his coaching setup? Oh, sorry. I thought that was audio. No. Okay. Righto.

Chapter 7: What insights does Tom Green share about his family background?
I need more information about that. What's he done? I might have read it long. I just said Ross Lyon. I didn't hear it on Sports Day. I'll set that out in the ad break. I've read it wrong. Blame me for that one. Okay, I'll be sending you another poo emoji. Now I'm very nervous about going to any audios. What else have you got for me?
Well, Chris Scott, I was going to talk about Tyson Stengel. And this is what he had to say yesterday about Tyson Stengel. And there's been reports about the fact that nobody can reach him. There's no contact with him at the moment. But where, in fact, he is with his football, this is what Chris Scott had to say.
No, I can't. And again, it's not my role to be across those things. I don't have a problem with the media speculating, but they are speculating with less information than I have. And I have less information than other people at the club have, who probably have less information than the AFL have. So it's reasonable to say that...
In this situation, more so than, say, grind situation, you're just asking the wrong person. One, if I had good information, I probably wouldn't tell you anyway because I'd consider it to be private, but this is one where I genuinely don't know.
He genuinely doesn't know where Tyson Stengel's at.
Well, I'm only going on what Gerard Waitley spoke about last night, is coaches aren't allowed to know. They'll find $250,000 if they are brought into the loop on where they're at in terms of... Yeah, some of the codes and the testing that goes on. Should they? That's the question. Oh, well, that's another argument.

Chapter 8: How does Tom Green view coaching and player development?
No, but that is my point. Should they know? He's saying that he doesn't know. Who would have more consideration for Tyson Stengel than the Geelong Football Club? We know Chris Scott has been such... a supporter of him in the time that he's been there at Geelong. I know on the record, off the record, you know, what they believe that, you know, they've been able to do for this year.
No, they're really proud of what Tyson's been able to do. And we don't live in a cookie cutter society where everyone, you know, can handle what's going on in AFL footy day in, day out, week in, week out, year in, year out. Mm-hmm. And to have him involved in the game is one of their proudest achievements, I think, down there at Geelong.
You talk to Nathan Buckley, you talk to Kenny Hinckley now who are out of the game, they just can't believe that the coaches aren't in the loop. What would it change if a coach was in the loop?
Well, it may change the fact that they have the information about one of their players. That's what changes. I don't know that they're going to be able to necessarily provide any professional help to the player.
But I would think that if you're invested in a player and you are as a coach and the coach and the player can be invested in you, depending on the relationship you have, then isn't it just something that you would like to be able to know about so that you might be able to help this player in some way, albeit that you're not a professional?
Yeah, no, I'm of the opinion that they should as well, given how invested they are in everyone's career and the wellbeing. But I'm just trying to work out- Like what he could do. You're trying to- Trying to work out why they- You're trying to work out what he could do right now to help Tyson Stengel. What I'm trying to work out is why they're not.
What is the thinking behind saying, here, we'll tell this bloke, we'll tell this bloke, but we're not going to tell the bloke who- Privacy.
Confidentiality. Maybe. Maybe. The footy news for Ian Reid buyer and vendor advocates.
Ian Reid vendor advocates.
