What deals are being offered on Kubota tractors and why are they relevant?
breakfast with gary and tim the imar trade-off questions without notice for imar protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years call 13 imar to get covered today
Well, given we are talking about trades, you've traded the Kubota for a Kubota. What is it that you're actually getting for your big
tractor? Our partner is Kubota Orange. You're going to love Kubota's Orange October sales event. Great offers available until October 31st. Kubota loves tough. I've taken advantage of that.
I've been down to
Kubota. I've traded the big tractor for a smaller one. And a nice mulcher on the back as well. What are you getting though? An L3800HD 38 horsepower tractor. That sounds impressive. Is it a four-in-one
bucket?
Industrial tires fitted with a loader, third function, and a four-in-one bucket. You got a four-in-one? Yep, and a Cosmo bully mulcher.
Good boy. Have you got a trailer with that? Because I wouldn't mind you dropping it off at my place for a couple of weeks over summer.
Yeah, you can lend it. You've got to come and get it though. Fieldy asked about the Adelaide Crows, how they're going to get better.
Yeah. So before I let you guys loose on this, Tim Silvers in a letter to members said, we believe in Matthew Nix. We trust the program he leads. We remain aligned on our vision for the future. He will be our coach in 2027. So at this stage, he's going into 2027 without an extension. So he will be coaching for his future next year. So talent, development, or system. And I went back through. So the misses. Now they had a few hits last year, but the misses in a particular part of the ground that they've long prioritized. Missed on Zach Bailey. Missed on Tom Sparrow. Missed on Naziah. Missed on Riley Sanders. Missed on Christian Petrarca.
How are the Adelaide Crows’ midfield weaknesses affecting their 2027 prospects?
And that's just off the top of my head. So do they need an A-grade midfielder in the middle of the ground to take that next step? There's a reliance on Isaac Rankin, it would appear, from an expected point of view.
Yeah, just to balance it out, hit on Dawson, hit on Rankin. Yep.
Yeah, we're going back away for Dawson. But yeah, hit on Rankin, hit on other players coming. Alex Neil Bullen, I get all that. But they're after a game breaker in the middle of the ground, clearly, as Bailey, Naziah and Petrarca suggested. Do they come back for Naziah next year? And is that the only way they take the next step? Is the system needing development and refinement? Is it development in their youth? How do they get... It's all those things. How do they get that next job? No, it's all
those things. And Gary can speak to this because he sort of spends a lot more time breaking down the way teams play than I do. But they were number 18 for Ford Hambles in the competition. So they clearly went down a different path to the way that a lot of other teams were playing in the competition, Gary.
Yeah,
they'll
have to examine the way they go and whether they think it's modern footy, whether it's standing up from a modern point of view.
It protects... Playing the way they did, it protects their back half. It protects them defensively. Makes them
vulnerable to a full pressure press. But anyway, I think they've got an over-reliance clearly on Rankin and Dawson. And when they don't click, then they're in trouble. So Thilthorpe didn't have the year that you would have hoped he would have had. He had some back injury, back issues, which... He thought he was going to be a dominant forward. I think Borlase can be their key back. I think they're going to commit to Murray. Worrell, I think they're back up. Defensively, they're as good as any team in the comp.
But
it might be the way they play. But they don't give up scores too often. But then you go and play against Brisbane. The last two times they've played against Brisbane, they've been absolutely split open
sideways. Smashed out of the centre bounce, though, too. Yeah. As much as anywhere.
Why might the AFL consider a trade involving Port’s pick four and five for Essendon’s picks one and 19?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, so that's always been the issue that they – and Rankin going in and developing into the midfield that he has helps, but like all the great teams, you've got to have more than two.
