Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. Morning, everyone. Great to have you with us. Wednesday, April the 22nd. It is the McCafe menu, the new McCafe drinks range. Joel Frazier from the Bulldogs. Ooh, they're down on numbers. He's going to join us at 8 o'clock. Andrew Russell with Wellness Wednesday. All footy news, your calls and text messages, as always, most welcome.
Chapter 2: Who are the guests joining Garry and Tim?
We're rambling along for our great friends at Cobham Estate. As I say, good morning to Tim. Watson, welcome, Whispers. Good morning to you, buddy. How are you today? Going Well, what's going on? Well, I'm just trying to work out whether... I think Joel Frazier's from Horsham. Is that right? Am I right in saying that, that he's a Wimmera boy? Let me have a look, Wisp.
That's a question without notice that hopefully I can help you out with.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the new McCafe drinks range?
Joel Frazier is from the Horsham Saints. There you go. By the GWV under-18s in Victoria. I'll be like old homework when we get together this morning and have a chat. I bet he's not off as big an acreage as our man was yesterday. I spent a lot of time thinking about that yesterday. 45,000 acres. That's a heap of ground, isn't it? It is a lot of ground. Our new favourite, Chad Kander.
That was you doing the promo read to run all day. Give me that one more time, Fingers. Our new favourite, Chad Kander. From now on, he'll be known as Chad Candler. That's right. That's what happens. That's what happens at about 9 o'clock in the morning when you've just about talked yourself out and you can't think straight anymore. What did you get up to yesterday?
I'll have to tell you in the ad break, actually. Oh. I went to see the old doctor. It wasn't the greatest day for me, so we'll just see how he does in the coming weeks. Might be off for a little short period of time. Right. We'll sort that out. That doesn't sound particularly good. No, it wasn't great, but it's not for broadcast at the moment.
Okay, well, you don't want to be broadcasting something that you haven't already spoken to about the conference with the WISP. That's right. It was very nice. Heartfelt messages for Elijah Hollands from his dad and his brother there. Beautiful messages. Yeah. So that sort of puts it into perspective, doesn't it? That you can talk about it from a footy, you know, the ramifications.
I think everyone's... Sort of moved on from Elijah, not moved on from him, hoping that he's in the very best of care, but examining the footy clubs and the AFL, but that was a beautiful thing to see. But a little bit of levity, just the Blues have been through hell and back this year, haven't they?
So when I wandered in and they said, oh, I went into Fox yesterday and Maxi Lawton, this is all a massive story. Have you crossed this massive story? I went, oh, no. What's happening? He goes Carlton again. I'm going, oh, no. What's going on? He said, ex-Carlton recruit Joseph Dare has been charged with cattle rustling. Did you read this story? I did. I did this one. I had to look it up.
I had to look it up twice. I can't remember him playing. Can you remember him playing? He was on the list back in 2010, 2011, but I don't think he played any senior footy. But he's got a Carlton link, so that's what gets people's eyeballs to the story. But he was charged with stealing cattle from his old mate next door. He took a herd off to the abattoir.
I think he ended up in Tongala, which is the home of Harley Reid, and was about to cash in, and they grabbed him and nabbed him. So there's a new movie coming out. And what's it going to be called? The Rustler. We might have to cast that today. Who can play who in the rustler? I'll give that a bit more thought as we go on. But I did, I had a little bit. Did you think that was funny?
Not funny, not for him and not for the farmer next to him. But when I thought, oh no, Carlton, when they told me Carlton were back in this massive story. I thought, surely not. Was he being fair dinkum when he thought that it was a messy story? No, no. He was taking the mick. He was taking the mick. He was tricking me, Tim. Oh, there you go. There you go. I think it's a serious thing out there.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion shift to footy news and player updates?
I think you've been watching too many old Western. When you went up to Kybram a couple of weeks ago, you were pantset watching a couple of John Wayne movies. This is Ronnie. So this is why our audience are magnificent. The new movie about the cattle rustling is going to be called The Navy Moose. Very tenuous link to Carlton, by the way. So we're not putting this at the feet of Carlton.
But he was on the list, apparently. Oh, mate, the rustler. Hi, Tim. I'm from Horsham. I'm pretty sure it's pronounced Free-jar. Free-jar rather than Frazier. Free-jar. There you go. There's a local Horsham person that has given us some advice. Well, ask him when he comes on. Can I play it?
Gerard, I don't know if I heard this correctly last night on your little program, G60 or not, but he was going down the bro path. I want to play this too and just see whether I already got it right. Have a listen.
You do everything you can to win in the last quarter on Thursday night and then Josh does what he does. Come on, bros. What are you doing?
Is it bros or is it bro? Come on, bro. I think the S slipped in there just at the end. It doesn't have an S on it, does it? No, I don't think it's a bro. He's talking about Josh Dacos who gave the free kick away to Nick. I gave the free kick away for the Carlton player, Byrne, and he missed in the end. And he looked over at Josh and he had a very sheepish look on his face.
He said he would have been panicking. He thought he was going to ruin the whole thing. Ear tags for sheep. Tens of millions, James says. Tens of millions go missing annually in Victoria. Cows have tags and pigs have an ink tattoo. Pigs go in for a bit of work, do they? There you go. So they've got tags. Have you seen a pig with a sledge? Yes, I have. They go in and get a... I'd like to see...
I'd like to see a pig liver style. That's what I'd like to see. What's going on for you down your way, down in the peninsula?
Big story.
There's a massive story down there. The Portsea, not the Portsea, the Flinders Pier is a very big pier down there in Western Port Bay. People use it to dive and fish and all sorts of things. And it's gone to rack and ruin. So the locals just got together and they campaigned and they got a $1.5 million grant. Apparently, I'm reading this. So the reconstruction started.

Chapter 5: How do players handle the pressure of tackling in football?
You reckon that Humphreys could have got rid of it? Yeah, he could have got rid of it. And I think most players that take on tackles, and I said this yesterday about Rao, Rao likes to take on tackles. That's what he does. That's the way that he operates.
And if you do take on the tackle and you don't get rid of the ball correctly or don't get rid of the ball in time, then you should be free kicked. My only worry, and I don't get too caught up in it at all, I don't understand. I try to understand it, but I understand there's some inconsistencies.
But if the player's tackled, he's got an arm pin, but he's got the ball free and he's off balance and sort of been taken to ground, and then you expect him to swing a leg at it at the risk. Oh, that one's tough. No, that one's tough. No, that's what I'm saying. At the risk of him then perhaps hitting his head on the ground because he's off balance. That's a difficult scenario.
I think it was Luke McDonald, which was the last one. Yes.
Chapter 6: What are the key factors considered when awarding free kicks?
So in all, it is such a hard, I've got great respect for the umps. I think it's a really difficult job. It doesn't mean I don't get frustrated at times, but the coaches clearly do. So these are the things he said you've got to take into account. Is the tackle legal? Is the ball pinned? Is the player able to make a genuine attempt to dispose of it? Okay, where does prior come in all that, though?
So doesn't that where it begins, whether or not they've had prior opportunity? Where a player in possession of the football has not had prior opportunity, a field umpire shall award a free kick if the player is able to but does not make a genuine attempt. So he's got no prior opportunity. Even if they've had. Yeah, even if they've had. Okay. Yeah, that's what it says here.
But the player who's had possession of the footy will provide an opportunity to dispose of the footy before rewarding an opponent for a legal tackle. Also on your program last night, this was great. You had Zach Merritt on and you had Nick Dacos on. Nick Dacos was asked a question about whether or not he would prefer or whether or not he'd be played more as a forward.
Chapter 7: How does Nick Dacos view his role on the team?
This is what he had to say.
I'd like to think that I'm going to set up more goals than I kick down there and take a good defender hopefully and take some pressure off Jamie Elliott at the moment. There's a lot of eyes on him and a lot of pressure going into games to kick a big bag. So without looking too far ahead, I might play more forward this week knowing that we do have a tight schedule coming up.
But I feel like I can do some damage there and I really enjoy playing footy down there. I think that's the main thing. It reminds me of sort of playing when you're a kid and you try and kick a goal.
That's what I took out of it. So there's some narrative around it. He's open to it. We asked Craig McRae the day before about it. And the most accurate answer is Nick will play where we need him to play. And this is what I took from last night. He said, well, off a five-day break, I might play more time forward. So I would suspect he might. So he's kicked. These are his goals he's kicked.
He kicked seven in his first year, 19 in 2023, kicked 20 in 2024, and he kicked 17 last year. He's got five so far this year. Is there a number in mind for you? He said he's more excited when he sets them up than kicks them, and so did Zach Merritt, by the way. Yeah, no, I don't think there's a number in mind, but I think he answered.
I think he was being absolutely honest when he said that he likes to set goals up as much as he kicks. No, that was true, 100%. I tell you what, there's a little bit of bristling that went on that I noticed in the body movement and the body language of Zach Merritt when you actually had a crack at him about how few goals he had kicked, and this is what he had to say.

Chapter 8: What strategies are discussed for managing stress?
The best feeling in footy for me is goal assist. Setting up a goal I think for me is one of the great feelings in footy. At times I've kicked probably backwards inside of 50 and 14 metre passes to try and get someone else involved. Even the weekend with Kakko just giving a handball on the goal square, I think the joy in that is awesome.
We talk about it all the time, Essendon's kicking a goal and not Zach Merritt or not a forward, so it's never really worried me. Does it change the way people look at my game? No, I'm sure it doesn't. It just doesn't really worry me.
No bristling. Oh, no, he bristled.
No, we're tight.
He's just not a goal kicker. No, you might be tight. I think he bristled at you questioning me. Gary, there was a bristle there, and I think that he was bristling at the fact that you were saying that he doesn't kick enough goals as a midfielder. No, that's a fact. I didn't say he doesn't kick enough. I just said he doesn't kick goals as a midfielder, whereas his priority, as he rightly said,
and articulated was that that is not a priority for him. He's only kicked two, four, seven, nine, five, eight, two, four, six, eight. Like that's clearly not a priority for kicking goals. Two, four, six, eight. He'll kick 10 this year. I guarantee you. No, no. There's another page. 49, four. He kicked nine last year. He's got four this year.
Do you rate midfielders higher if they're goal kickers as well? Well, I guess we look at the goal kicking and if you look below that and how many goals they actually set up, I think it adds a genuine... a complementary layer to their game if they're able to break and kick goals. You don't think any less that Zach hasn't been a goal kicker over the years, do you?
Any less of him?
You don't rate him any differently? No, I don't. But I think maybe you can rate them more highly if they are goal kickers. I didn't ask him. I think some people just have got goal sense. From the time they pick a footy up, they're natural goal kickers. And I wonder if at any stage throughout his junior footy, I suspect not. I think he's more about, as he said...
