Huge last hour coming up on your favourite, it is Fireball. Speaking of our favourites for Club Tocamo, Australia's premier Murray River golfing destination, talk to the Golf Package team today. They bring us SCN's Chief Sports Reporter, one of our own, Sammy Edmund, live in the studio. Sammy, good morning.

35.088 - 56.397 Sam Edmund

Kano, hello to you. Hello, David. Sammy. Good to be with you both. Good to be with you both at just gone past 8 o'clock this morning on the East Coast, or as we are now absolutely calling it nationwide, Wharfie time. I tell you, emblazoned on the big screens last night, as you would have seen, Cain, it's come a long way, hasn't it, since Matthew Pavlich told us to put our Superman capes on.

56.697 - 75.989 Sam Edmund

And in fact, I was reading during the week that the AFL had filed documents with IP Australia, Intellectual Property Australia, that's the agency responsible for IP and protecting brand names and the like, to trademark the phrase Wharfie Time. So the league are on board with it. They're expecting big things out of the Dockers, I assume, this year.

76.029 - 84.17 Sam Edmund

Eight in a row, the best run ever under Justin Longmuir. So that's with IP Australia. So I reckon we're all putting our Superman capes on this morning.

84.631 - 86.756 Kane Cornes

You have the belief they can go all the way?

86.997 - 88.259 Sam Edmund

I am. I like this.

88.339 - 95.132 Kane Cornes

I'm not sure how you can't be if they're both. I like this. I think Cornsy's on board again, even though the Frio hat's not on his head this morning.

95.212 - 108.456 David King

No, I didn't pack the Frio hat, unfortunately, but maybe I'll get that on the AFL show tonight. But, yeah, I think they're in as good a spot. There's four standout teams. He's in there, and they're clearly one of the four, which gives them a great shot.

Chapter 2: What is 'Wharfie Time' and why is it significant for Fremantle?

124.417 - 139.259 Sam Edmund

And this year it has been incredible at venue, on TV and the results. And given the Friday night double ups, which a lot of people have kicked into as well, and the staggered fixture releases we're going to get in the back end, it means that the matchups are safeguarded from the dud games.

140.001 - 146.413 David King

What was it like in your part of the world just a bit later last night? What did you think of that? Stretch me, stretch me.

0

146.533 - 165.822 Sam Edmund

I did get the noddies in the last quarter at one particular stage, but every time Jackson touched the pill and the commentary went up a decibel or two, I was awoken from my slumber. But yeah, it was an eight. 8.10. 8.10, yeah. Too late. It's way too late. Yeah, that's not ideal, but it's hard to have it any earlier in Perth than that, I would have thought, especially on a school night.

165.842 - 169.506 Sam Edmund

And they were a bit slow to get in, weren't they, Cain? I did see at one particular stage early.

0

169.927 - 185.946 David King

Yeah, well, we were on air at, oh, what would it have been? Local time. Five local time. So, yeah, a beautiful day, and they do arrive late, but 54, nearly over, nearly 54,500 in the house. So they did turn up, which is a credit to them,

185.926 - 198.79 Kane Cornes

They're amazing over here. They love their footy. I think you'll find a great balance with them being the second game on a Friday night. Yep. They get their later spot there. But if they're to be on a Thursday night, it has to be a late night 10.

198.85 - 207.867 David King

I wonder, Sammy, as you've been all over the fixture, where do you think Fremantle will sit with the prime time? They'll be right up there, won't they?

207.847 - 225.062 Sam Edmund

They're going to have to get a look in, in the back, from round 16 to 23. They have to. I mean, the Thursday night games this year, we've had 10, and of the 10, six have been decided by 17 points or less, four under 10 points, and we've had a draw, and it's Brisbane Geelong next Thursday. So they're good times on a Thursday night. And just to explain...

225.042 - 242.463 Sam Edmund

Teams are only allowed three five-day breaks in any given season. Now, when you put two games on a Friday night, that opens the pool up, doesn't it? Because that's a six-day break to a Thursday. So that gives the AFL more options. Last year, they didn't have as many teams to pick from. They simply couldn't pick the high-quality teams, the teams they wanted to.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Justin Longmuir's contract situation?

699.483 - 714.505 David King

So the money, the contract is interesting. I think a club would do ridiculous offers towards him, but what's it worth? Yeah. Why? Because Tom Boyd got a million bucks. That's 10 years ago. That's why. They are desperate to keep forwards.

715.166 - 718.892 Kane Cornes

Want a premiership? Want a premiership? Yeah, but how did they go outside of that one day?

0

718.872 - 721.895 David King

Well, not well, but that's what clubs do, King.

0

721.935 - 737.612 Kane Cornes

I'm not convinced he'll get the money you're going to throw up now. I'm not convinced. I'm certain of it, Sammy. Yeah, I think he'll get well paid too. But what will he be? Tell me the player that he's going to be. Give me a likeness because I don't see it.

0

738.193 - 740.476 David King

The upside is Josh Kennedy from the Eagles.

740.496 - 742.518 Kane Cornes

Josh Kennedy? That's the ceiling.

742.538 - 747.844 David King

Not a chance of him being Josh Kennedy. He's young. He's a big, powerful forward.

747.944 - 748.204

Josh Kennedy?

748.184 - 752.231 Kane Cornes

And he can't get a game up there, and they're screaming out for a second tall forward.

Chapter 4: What is the latest update on Tom Barrass' hamstring injury?

992.163 - 1017.396 David King

Gee, he's copped it. Look at him. He comes in, does us a favour, and he leaves as we... You're just speaking nonsense. It's unfair. It washes right over me. Thank you. Good. I like it. I like the fact that you can see the humour. Fireballs for Kogan, sweets to a Kogan. The cow excrement was quite funny, you have to admit. Low price phone plan, Kogan.com. Clicking awesome. Side splitting.
