Unknown 0:00

You don't f***ing stand up. You're an embarrassment to what you do, mate.

Stephen King 0:05

I'm so damn disgusted.

Kane Cornes 0:11

Pull up your socks for Underworks Sports Socks. The number wonder, down under for socks. Alright, pull those socks up nice and high. All thanks to Underworks Sports Socks. Durable, comfy and built for the long run. Underworks, the number wonder, down under for socks. Kingy, who needs to pull their socks up?

Stephen King 0:26

Who needs to pull their socks up? Well, I'm just looking at the... The early call on the Launceston game next Thursday night. I'd like to put the fixtures under the radar here, under the gun here. Or pull their socks up, not in the gun. That's a totally different segment. Let's just go with pull your socks up. How's that going to go, do you reckon? What's the standard of the game going to be like late night, Thursday night, in Tassie, middle of May?

Kane Cornes 0:58

This is Thursday, isn't it?

Stephen King 1:00

Yeah, next Thursday, round 11.

Kane Cornes 1:02

And Adelaide are a bit stiff here, aren't they?

Stephen King 1:04

Well, they've got to go down to Tassie and have a crack at you, Tass. I just don't know why we're doing this. Why would we be playing a night game on a Thursday night in Tassie? Is there a particular reason for it that you can think of?

What insights do Kane and Kingy share about the upcoming Launceston game?

Kane Cornes 1:17

Well, it couldn't be any worse than the spectacle in Darwin. It's hard watching Darwin. I feel like the conditions are clearly played a lot of footy there as well. It's awful conditions to play in. And I think the stand is poor. You think it's going to be similar to that?

Stephen King 1:32

I just don't know why we would set a Thursday night for Tassie when it's probably going to be poor conditions.

Kane Cornes 1:38

You're setting it up to half fail, really. Isn't the stand under serious construction as well?

Stephen King 1:44

There's all sorts of work going on down there and

Kane Cornes 1:46

7,000 people that can get in.

Stephen King 1:48

I'm concerned about that being a great spectacle for our code when Thursday nights have been terrific so far.

Kane Cornes 1:54

Now, one of our favourites, Nassir, was, well, he was managed on the weekend. Here's Ross Lyons speaking post-game as to why.

Unknown 2:03

Yeah, I thought he'd play. He thought he'd play. He wanted to play tonight. It was just a little... A little bit of soreness. We thought it was a corky. They had a scan. A little bit of bleeding. They think it's a corky still, but couldn't make a definitive decision. So we need another week to let it settle. We think it's more that way, but we'll find out during the week.

Kane Cornes 2:32

Should have just left him home, shouldn't they? No, take him there for sure. Take him to Darwin?

Stephen King 2:38

Yep. 100%. He's the greatest marketing tool we've got in Darwin.

Kane Cornes 2:44

i would have thought it's about winning games though wouldn't you so i hope he gets up for sunday all purposes why do you do this well because it's elite it's elite sport can you imagine a finely tuned athlete when the best we've ever got in another sport in doubt to play and they go well you're probably not going to get up there's a bleed there on the scan but Anyway, we'll fly four hours there anyway, and then we'll fly home, and you can just come up for a promotional tour.

Stephen King 3:11

We might have 10,000 kids look at you, Nasaia, with just stars in their eyes, and you might drag a whole generation of Indigenous boys into our code.

How do Kane and Kingy evaluate the conditions for the Thursday night game in Tassie?

Stephen King 3:23

It's on our knees at the moment, the Indigenous numbers.

Kane Cornes 3:26

I get that, but can't he do that in a serious tour and go and spend a week there in the off-season? There's different vehicles that you can use to promote Nassau in that region that aren't going to seriously affect the on-field performances of the St Kilda Footy Club, can you? He's got a bleed, which is not going to get better by travelling eight hours in a plane up and back and then trying to play this week. If you're going to look after him, look after him.

Stephen King 3:51

Well, it sounds to me like it was line ball. And you know what? Let's just take him rather than leave him. Let's just bring him as part of the group. Keep his presence in the group. He'd be fantastic for the locals up there. He would love going up there. Imagine leaving him at home. He would love. I love the trip up there.

Kane Cornes 4:10

I know he would love the trip up there. I get that.
