Chapter 1: What updates are there about Chad Warner?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. The IMA trade-off. Questions without notice for IMA. Protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13IMA to get covered today.
Clearly staying with us for a few little questions without notice before Corey joins us for the last half hour and we get stuck into some footy big time. Um... And I like the cycling, by the way. I'm not a big cycling man, but whenever you want to bring cycling to the table- Don't pretend you like it. I'm with you. But if you want to do whatever you want. It's National Sparky Day today.
If you know an electrician in your life, give him a little zap. Give him a little touch.
Okay.
Just touch him on the shoulder and say, thanks for what you do.
A little electric shock. Yeah.
A little zippity zap. A little bit of friction. I've got a brother-in-law who's a sparky, brainy- I don't know what was in your sparkling water this morning. I'm with a lot of people that are sending messages through on the temper text this morning. What did you bring in there, Geoff? I don't know whether you put a little bit of something else in there while you were drinking.
Just that bottle's a little close to your elbow. Can you move that away from your elbow?
Because I forgot to listen to the fieldie for a recycling report. Righto, questions without notice.

Chapter 2: Will Tex Walker play finals for Adelaide this year?
Yep. Yours whispers? My question to you is, are you surprised that, given that you are the author of the premiership window that has been on the couch, are you surprised that the only two teams in the competition right now that sit in the premiership window are Sydney and the Gold Coast Suns? Well, this is the thing about the window. It has not been wrong in 20 years. It hasn't been.
So you can be as surprised as you want. When you look at it, though, right there, and they will get in there at some stage, are Geelong, Fremantle, Brisbane aren't too far away. I think St Kilda. Certainly, they're in the top six for defence, so they're at the right line because that has never been wrong, the defence. The offence has been wrong twice in 21 years.
But, no, I think this year's been a little bit different. Is Corser a window man? No.
Chapter 3: Who misses out in Adelaide's tall forward department?
Oh, yeah, he would have been in the initial think tank about it all. He'll give us all the details on that. And so just on St Kilda, have you got a handle on St Kilda? That was my question back at you, question without notice. No, you go with it. I asked you pre-show. And I answered it. All right, I'll ask the marshal. Where are you at with the Saints? Where have you got them right now?
Are you convinced that they're on the right track? Are they a finals, like a top eight contender?
Yeah. I think they're a top 10 contender. Right. I think they're in the wild card.
Look at their wins for the year, right? So their wins are against the 13th ranked team, the 14th ranked team, the 15th ranked team, the 16th ranked team and the 18th ranked team. They need something, don't they?
How's their next three weeks? So it's Fremantle away, Hawthorne at Marvel where they're better. but then Sydney at the SCG, coinciding with the fact that they've got just a nasty little injury spike at the moment.
And Naz, no Owens.
Naz with the calf for two weeks. We hope it's two weeks, but as Ross admitted yesterday, they are problematic and you can fall off the cliff with the calves if you get them wrong. So Mitch Owens out, Higgins out, King can't get right. So that forward line's been decimated. So it's a big three weeks for the Saints.
I know who I ask. Corsa.
Yeah.

Chapter 4: What does the future hold for Zach Butters?
I'll stick with him, yes.
Yeah. Just listening to Chad Warner discuss his relationship with Dean Cox that led to him not going back to WA and how open it was on Unfiltered and basically just laying it all out on the table for Dean Cox and they worked it through. Do you reckon this is what the majority of clubs do or the minority of clubs do? Can you picture Zach Butters and Josh Carr having these sorts of conversations?
Yep, I think so. I think so. We haven't been at Clubland for a long time and the landscape's changed so dramatically.
Can you imagine doing, did you listen to what Sherwood Warner said? No, I haven't, no. He basically just told him everything. I bought a house. When it gets out in the media, I've bought a house back there. One day I might like to go back there. I'm really wrestling with it. And totally open door. I'm going to meet with West Coast this weekend, just so you know.
I'm going to meet with Fremantle on this golf course, just so you know. That's good.
Well, I think my opinion of this is always influenced by what happens most recently. And so I used to sweat about, like everyone used to sweat about losing, you know, for the team I break from. I don't want to lose him. I don't, oh, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone. And you used to panic about it. On the basis of this year, not so much. I don't.
I think you go, okay, you can want and you can do your best, but if they go, they go. And if you leave them, they leave. It's not the end of the world, Tim. Petrarca goes out the door. This is what I'm talking about. Petrarca goes out the door. Oliver goes out the door. Stephen May's gone. And they're in the best place they've been since the premiership. Yeah.
But you can also sit down and have a very open, transparent conversation with the coach if you've got that type of relationship with the coach. Well, that should be. Maybe some players don't, though. Maybe some players don't feel comfortable talking like that as openly to the coach as what Chad Warden did. And sometimes I think coaches have a different philosophy around that.
I remember Brad Scott, when he was asked the question about Sam Draper potentially moving on, he said, well, it's not my job to try and effectively talk him out of it. But, you know, other coaches probably feel like it is their job to try and talk the player out of going.
