Chapter 1: What challenges are the Suns facing regarding player retention?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. A sports news update for the Butcher Club. The Butcher Club for quality produce delivered with exceptional customer service. Simply not your average butcher shop.
Rising star of the media, Corey Mobilio to join us after 8.30, set you up for round 14 and the biggest news presence in this building, Sam Edmund wanders in out of 8 o'clock. Sammy, welcome to you.
Hello Gary, hello Tim. Good morning. Good morning. Somebody told me that you no longer work at SCN. Are you still part of the organisation? Obviously, I'm not listening to Sports Day, Tim. I thought you were a round-the-clock subscriber. No, when Dwayne's away, I don't listen. Sports Day. Nobody does midday madness like Dino. Wrong show.
You can see him on Fox Footy as well. Just a quick one. The website, our SEN website is promoting the ND for the big game, Neil Danaher's jumper on the Melbourne Footy Club. Tommy Morris has written that, I think. But the Essendon Footy Club are similarly doing it as well.
They've got a big ND on their right side of the red jumper with a black sash, and they've got play on written across the back as well.
Yeah, and they've got his, as you say, his initials on the front. And one thing I wanted to ask you both about, actually, there'll be a pre-game tribute, so a ceremony there, so people get yourselves sorted early for this game on Saturday. But special appearances, we're told, from Essendon and Melbourne, great. So we're going to deliver a Danaher-style rev-up before the game.
Now, I mean, surely you two have got some masterful words of wisdom to share, have you not, Gary, Tim?
It's an interesting topic. All right, but I was asked whether I wanted to do that. Failed in secrecy? I didn't, so no, that wasn't something for us. I think that's the coach's domain to get the players up and about, but there'll be a great representation of both players doing the card of honour.
Yep, and all those Guernseys, by the way, will be auctioned off after the game and all the funds going towards MND research, which is great.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Ben King's free agency for the Suns?
You get the pruning wrong, Gary, then it doesn't – if you get it wrong – You cut too deep. You cut too deep, you cut the wrong canes off, it means that you may not get any growth the following year and you don't get any fruit. So it's not as easy as you think doing the pruning. Excellent analogy. Excellent analogy.
No such problem at Melbourne. Kate Chandler, the five-year deal, that was confirmed yesterday through until 2031 and in career best form. Bailey Fritch will soon follow that and all signs at this stage point to Sparrow doing the same. As we say, they remain in the hunt for Bailey Humphrey. So that list is in a great spot. Billy Frampton had his three-match ban.
I know you talked about that earlier. Overturned at the Tribunal last night. So just the quick explanation here from the panel. They said, we find that the majority of the force and momentum in the tackle was provided by Majec, who was trying to drive through Frampton, who was virtually stationary.
We accept that Billy Frampton may have contributed to some of the rotational momentum, but this was a far smaller contribution than that provided by Majec driving through the tackle. Do we have any problems with that?
We've discussed this pretty much at length, and that's the way we saw it. Other people see it differently, but I did think that that was how it was going to play out. He'd be shattered, Billy Frampton, as well, given the relationship with Brodie Mycheck. And as I said earlier, he's playing Billy, which is fair enough. Now we just worry about Brodie and hope that he's in a good spot.
Yeah, so just on that, he was due to be released from hospital yesterday or early this morning. So he'll be home soon, which is great news. After the neck surgery, he had a bone taken from his hip as part of that surgery. So serious, serious business. He's in a neck brace and he's going to be for some time. And from here, it's an unknown path. I mean, his season this year clearly is over.
Beyond that remains to be seen. But, jeez, the demons have learned a lot from that Petrarca statement from a couple of years ago, haven't they? The Majec family, his partner Polly, they could not be more thankful and impressed by Melbourne's level of care and their communication off the back of it too. So tick for the club there.
Yeah, well, you've got to learn, don't you? They didn't quite get it right with Christian, so you'd hope that they get it right here and it would appear that is the case.
Tom Stewart's going to miss Geelong's game against Gold Coast tomorrow. Now, he entered concussion protocols from a hit in the final, well, I'll say seconds, maybe second of the loss to Adelaide last Thursday. Now, there was no word of this after that game, officially or in the press conference, and the Cats medical update only said recently that Stewart subsequently entered concussion protocols.

Chapter 3: How is Jed Walter's situation affecting the Suns' roster plans?
You can. World Cup starts tomorrow at 5 a.m. our time. Now, the host of Mexico playing South Africa, Mexico City, the atmosphere will be off the charts for this. The whole city's jumping. Now, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, not a man who does a lot of media appearances, fair to say. He has spoken overnight to the media for the first time in three years. Finito.
This is the FIFA president, three years. Now, he told everyone to chill, given the tournament has been plagued by, well, fans, media, staff, even referees have been denied entry to the US. Now, he was asked directly by a BBC journalist in this long press conference if he was embarrassed and if FIFA had lost control of their own tournament, and this was how Gianno responded.
You know, in 2035... I think, we hope, the Women's World Cup will be in the UK, right? Still needs to be a decision, but looks like. Would you find it normal that FIFA would dictate to the British government who to let in the country and who not to let in the country?
So, that... That took a fair bit of air out of the room. So he went on to say there's 300,000 accredited people to vet and to process for a FIFA World Cup. He said security goes above everything in an aggressive world was how he described it. So as he's saying there, he's beholden to the rules and the laws of the government in which they play and that there's only so much FIFA can do.
Who do Australia play? We play Turkey. Who? Turkey. Who? I'm saying Turkey. Why?
Pronounce it correctly. Turkey.
Turkey. Okay, Turkey Air?
Well, that's what... No, that's not right. Is that not right? Is that not right, Wisp? No, it's Turkey Air. That's not right either. That's Advanced Air. You stay with us, Sammy. You've got an extra 10 minutes in you. You can bill us. We're going to do a little bit of questions. I've got a lot of questions without notice. I want to fire at both of you.
