Chapter 1: What groundbreaking coaching duo does Garry suggest for Carlton?
I know the soft cap is a soft cap. Could they afford both, I know we joke about this, Longmire and Simpson. As a duo. As a duo, groundbreaking, throw the rule book out and the two of them are great mates. The two of them are unbelievably respectful of each other. The two of them challenge each other from a television point of view all the time about this and that.
And if they went in with a very clear, you know, demarcation line saying, horse, is this Simmo is this. My experience with both of them is that the best of both of them would be the most extraordinary addition to the Carlton Footy Club. And I would be unbelievably confident that that would work.
Chapter 2: How do Longmire and Simpson complement each other as coaches?
You need an alpha. One of them has to be the leader. Is it John? You got to know him well. Is it horse or is it Simo? Who is the alpha male of the two?
Who's more alpha than the other? I'm going to take it under advisement. I'm going to get the 7.30 news out and answer you on the other side.
You don't want to answer it.
Chapter 3: What qualities make a successful coaching partnership?
What about Kenny Hinkley played it beautifully yesterday. He said, I'm getting a bit old, but I reckon horse would be the great coach. So he just diverted all the attention over on the horse and he just set one out, one back. I listened to that. I didn't think that he ruled it. I haven't heard it.
No, I didn't think he ruled it out completely.
No, he didn't, but he did say, but I reckon horse is the man.
Yeah. I think Kenny's a coach.
Chapter 4: Who is the alpha leader between Longmire and Simpson?
I think he's a coach right down to his socks. He's under work socks.
I'm told Sam Edmund's going to come in and have a chat with us about all of that. Don't forget, there's some traffic issues on Hollow Street and around the Collingwood area. So maybe steer clear of that.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of Garry's coaching suggestions for Carlton?
George Samios, if you want to know just for 10 minutes, have a little break about wine and you've got a question you want answered, now is the time. Send them through. He'll join us on the other side.
