Chapter 1: What are the highlights from the recent sports events?
Hey, got a big hour and a half coming up. We have got Dylan Moore was the star for the Hawks on Friday night. It's great to see him back in some really good form. Sammy Edmond, who we haven't seen for a week. He was filling in last week for Duano. He'll be here out of eight o'clock. And we've got questions without notice between now and eight. So join in at any time.
Anything you want to have a chat about, 043 98 11 16 1 300 736 736. There's been a lot of sport play that we haven't had a chance to talk about over the last five days.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of the wildcard round for teams?
So let's get into it.
Okay, I want to ask you this question, though. This is a serious question, okay? You may think that I'm having a joke here, but I'm not. Cozzy Bignick's, as I like to call him, Cozzy Bignick's picket, he was tackled. This is serious, right? I don't know whether you saw this game. He was tackled by his shorts, right, four times. I counted four times at the weekend.
Are you sure, or did they just fall down fast?
No, no, he was tackled. He was being tagged, and he was tackled by the Adelaide players four times, and they caught him by the shorts, okay? Does he need to? I know he likes to wear big knicks, but should he go down to a size 22 boys pair of knicks?
No, whatever he's been wearing this year, I'm happy for him to continue.
Are you happy for him to get tackled in his long shorts? Yes. They're flapping around.
If he plays in the manner that he has in those shorts, whatever he's been wearing, Tim, I'm happy for him to continue wearing.
Okay.
Well, I think it's a serious consideration that he should ā I'm not being silly. I'm saying it's a serious consideration that he should try and find himself a nicer, tighter-fitting pair of shorts.

Chapter 3: How does Toby Greene's potential departure affect GWS?
Hey, very quickly, questions without notice between now and then. So I'll ask one, then we'll take a break and get stuck into it. Any of those suggestions for when Tassie enters the competition for what the season looked like interest you? A mid-season tournament, 18 home and away games, gather round, rival round, and then three-week pause, three-week in-tournament competition.
Whoever wins the in-house competition plays five weeks. Is that interest you? No. 22 games each, all teams play each other once and four double-ups. Does that interest you? No. 24-game season, all teams play once and six double-ups. And then a group stage where all teams once, two double ups, top 16 teams split into four groups. God, this gets complicated.
Four based on play once to determine the last. Bottom three teams play. Any of that interest you?
Complicated. Complicated. Can we just play each other once? Hallelujah. And then we're going to find some more games though. That's the problem.
Rivalry round and gather round.
Yeah, no, happy. Happy for something like that. Something simple like that.
All right. Paul, just hold on. We'll get to you on the other side of this. Questions without notice are on 1-300-736-736-04-398-1116.

Chapter 4: What are the challenges faced by Carlton's interim coach?
By the way, Gary, good luck with your back operation.
Very kind. Thank you, Paul.
No worries. Listen, I'm a Bulldogs member, and I was opposed to the wild card round, but we finished ninth last year a bit stiff, but if we were to finish ninth this year, I'm just started to warm to the concept that we'd still be alive in the wildcard round.
I think it's going to work, Paul. Well, I'm not telling people what they need to think. I just think the idea behind it is to make this season remain relevant in the minds of most supporters or as many supporters as we can for as long as we can. And so right now that means that...
Instead of maybe Collingwood and St Kilda fans and GWS and Carlton thinking they're out of contention because the eight might be beyond them, they're still very much in the contest, aren't they? Right all the way down to, well, probably stops at Carlton right now. But the Blues are alive. That's good for the comp. The Giants, we don't know what's going on there.
The Saints have got injuries, so they're going to be up against it. And the Magpies might, you know, they're going to hang in. And, you know, I heard someone on the shows yesterday say the fact that North are 10th means the whole wildcard rounds are fast. Well, no, it doesn't because, well, in my opinion, North are down the bottom. They get a bit of an easy draw.
For the first time in a long time, North fans are going, wow, we're still very much alive at round 14.
I was lukewarm on this when it was announced, but it has won me over the longer the season has gone because of, I think, the hope. Like fans live in hope. They want their team to play as long as they possibly can throughout the course of the year. And this gives them the opportunity potentially for their team to participate longer and for them to be invested in the game longer too.
So I actually think it's been a great thing for the game so far this year.

Chapter 5: How do coaching styles impact player performance?
I think any job would be a job worth fighting for. And this one in particular, given the size of the Carlton Football Club and I've felt this already, the power and support that we have as a club. And I think it'd be an exciting opportunity for whoever's ready to go through a process and earn that job.
He spoke really well. He spoke really, really well the way that he answered the questions.
My gut feel is he's going to be in this race.
Mine too, yeah.
That's just a pure gut feel that by the end of his interim experience, I think he'll put his hand... I don't know anything other than that. That's just a gut feel. And I think the Blues are playing it pretty well. They're saying, oh, well, at the moment he's not interested, but they also would be monitoring it very closely.
So I think Carlton fans would be happy to know that he's going to be involved in the process. That's just a gut feel right now. I did ask him... You know, if you don't know, how do you know you don't know?
I can only assume that you get to a stage where you have a chance to reflect on all your experiences. And I'm in a position now where I've got a great deal of belief in what I can do as a coach, but I know I'm not the finished product. And again, this opportunity has given me a chance to continue to grow.
I don't know exactly when you know you're ready or when you're not, but personally, I haven't lifted my eyes too much to consider what that might look like for me, other than staying really present to this moment and helping our footy club continue to get better and make sure that at the end of my opportunity here as interim coach, our footy club's better placed.
I wasn't aware how extensive his coaching CV was. He actually has coached. I think it really prepares you well if you've coached in your own right, if you've actually been the king of your own domain, had your own team, and had to deal with a lot of issues around that, that maybe somebody who's in an assistant role and has only ever been in an assistant role hasn't had to do. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What strategies are discussed for managing player dynamics?
He's been a development coach. He's now been an AFL senior coach for five weeks. It's a pretty good ā and he says I'm not ready. Well, I wonder if at the end of it he might think, okay, this has rounded me out. Now I'm happy to ā I think that's what will happen. That's my feeling.
No, I agree with that. I agree with that. Jordan Lewis was on the couch last night and he talked about the effects of or on GWS should they lose Toby Green.
But the talk around Toby Green leaving the Giants, I mean, I think that destroys a club because you've got this player who, albeit not playing at his absolute best, he's the captain, he's the culture, he's the guy that leads from the front, yet he's telling us he potentially wants to go and seek premiership success.
And you look at the list demographic, I just, I think that they are in a really vulnerable position.
That's a big hole, isn't it? I think if you were to lose Toby Green, GWS to lose Toby Green would leave a massive hole, a massive hole.
Tom Green would leave a bigger hole.
Yeah, but Tom would, if Tom was to leave two, that would be, yeah. But there's no, right now, Tom has to get back after a knee operation. So he's got his own battle.
If next year you had to, just say you had to, you can only have one green next year, you'd have Tom over Toby. I think, going forward.
Yeah, I try and keep both. I know, 100%.

Chapter 7: How does the wildcard round influence fan engagement?
After that, actually come back into that game as well. I just want to play you this because this is what Adam Simpson had to say the other day with Gerard Waitley on Thursday about managing the modern day player.
You're the coach. It's your call. You do what you need to do to get the best out of your group, and sometimes they need a collective clip. That's no worries. But when it's like, and you, and I've done that a few times, and I've followed up, and I've saved it just, but there's a skill in saving it. Otherwise, you do run the risk of the locker room going, what about this? Didn't even mention him.
He's a bloody love child over there. He does it all the time just because he kicked five. It's okay for him to get away with it, but I'll cop it. And it's not players being precious. It's just they're more in tune to, oh, okay, that's what it's going to be. Then guess what? I'll ring my manager and da-da-da-da.
Is there a danger, like looking at the way that he spoke to the players there at three-quarter time, is there a danger in delivering something that you can't take back in a moment like that?
Well, that's when you've got to know your players. So I'll talk about this further when Sammy Edmond joins us at 8 o'clock. Right now, I've got to go take a break.

Chapter 8: What are the future expectations for the AFL season?
But it's a really interesting talking point around Adam Kingsley. And we'll revisit it after the 8 o'clock news right now. Let's take a break.
