Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

2.36 - 10.618 Kane Cornes

Time now to get to this man for Cobham Estate, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil, grown, harvested and first coal pressed in northern Victoria, Tom Morris. Welcome to you, Tommy.

10.638 - 24.901 Tom Morris

Thank you, Cain. Thank you, King. Good to be with you this morning. Great to see you, brother. Always good to see you. Excellent chat with Stephen King. He handles himself pretty well in the media, doesn't he? He does. He's a Danilworth ripper. What about the fact that if his values didn't align, he was just happy to continue on his journey?

0

25.141 - 40.196 Tom Morris

I think that's part of what made him so attractive, that he was fairly nonplussed about the whole thing, and I think the Ds really liked that. Anyway, this morning I want to talk about the key forward pyramid that's taking shape. So you've got Ben King at the very top, because it's like a domino effect.

40.637 - 59.517 Tom Morris

If Ben King re-signs at the Gold Coast Suns, I think his rival clubs expect him to do on that two-year deal, although he hasn't yet as far as I know. Then there's a whole host of other key forwards around the competition that I think big Victorian clubs in particular will be looking at. So below Ben King, you've then got Mitch Lewis and Joel Amati, who are both free agents.

59.978 - 77.659 Tom Morris

Now, the Swans have offered Joel Amati a new deal. The Mitch Lewis conversations, I think, will commence or ramp up pretty soon. And then below that, you've got Jed Walter, Kyle Shadir and Hayden McLean. So all of a sudden, these forwards become far more valuable if... one or more of King, Lewis, and Amadi re-sign.

78.079 - 98.073 Tom Morris

And then you've got someone like Ollie Lord, who's out for the rest of the season, who's injured, and Krzyzewski from up north as well. So these are the key forwards that I'd be keeping an eye on. And then you've got the ace in the pack, Kane. Then you've got Jesse Hogan. massive gap between what Jesse Hogan wants and what the Giants are willing to pay.

98.635 - 101.26 Kane Cornes

Chuck me some numbers. Chuck me some numbers, can you?

101.361 - 103.646 Tom Morris

I would be giving a calculated guess on numbers.

Chapter 2: What is the key forward pyramid and why is it important?

103.746 - 121.381 Tom Morris

I want to preface it by that. But I think he's worth about $800,000 a year, if not a little bit more. Because of the form he's been in the last couple of years, not necessarily this year as much. And I think you need to pay him that. But I don't think they're offering anywhere near that. I'd be surprised if they're offering more than $500,000 or $600,000 a year, given his age.

0

121.762 - 126.31 Kane Cornes

So there's a gap. Split the difference for me. I'd be comfortable sort of around the...

Chapter 3: How do Ben King and other key forwards impact team strategies?

126.678 - 128.281 Kane Cornes

Sevens. 750, sevens.

0

128.561 - 131.826 Tom Morris

There's a lot of players on a million dollars next year, and he's had a pretty good couple of years.

0

131.846 - 136.434 Kane Cornes

58 last time I saw, so there'll be more than that next year. Yeah. Yeah, he's been average this year, though.

0

136.954 - 137.195 Tom Morris

Yes.

0

137.495 - 146.83 Stephen King

Can I put another one into your pyramid? Yep. Jamara would be on a one-year deal. Yeah, with Triggers for a second. Yes. Who owns the Triggers? Good question.

146.81 - 155.583 Tom Morris

So if he plays enough games, it's a games trigger. Yeah. He can- He can or they can? No, they don't have a choice. He triggers another season.

155.603 - 157.186 Kane Cornes

It automatically kicks in. It automatically kicks in.

157.206 - 176.575 Tom Morris

Yes. But can he refute the trigger? He can ask for a trade. No, but he's contracted for next year if he gets those triggers. Right. So they own the trigger. They own the trigger. Okay. But- If he plays that number of games or close to that number of games, then the Trigger won't really matter because they'll want him to stay anyway. Yeah. So it doesn't matter as much. But the finances matter.

176.935 - 183.665 Tom Morris

The finances matter because if he has a very good year, then the Gold Coast Suns could be getting something very cheap in 2027.

Chapter 4: How does Adelaide's recent turmoil affect their performance?

1069.6 - 1082.153 Kane Cornes

Do you know they have the most magnificent sandwiches? Yeah. All Australian. Gourmet. Gourmet, yeah. Like triple ply sort of stuff. Triple cuts, I should say.

0

1083.495 - 1086.518 Stephen King

There'd be no Dennis from the original cafe stuff.

1086.578 - 1099.438 Kane Cornes

Gee, I'm going to miss those sandwiches. I miss Dennis, actually. I'm hungry. Hey, Tom, great stuff, mate. There's some injuries around the place, but if you want to know what's happening, check out your club sites. I'm sure there'll be up-to-date information on the club sites with their injuries. Good stuff, mate. Thank you, Cain. Thank you, Cain.

1099.458 - 1103.824 Tom Morris

Agenda setters tonight or not? It depends what's going on. We didn't get any cricket updates.

1103.844 - 1106.388 Kane Cornes

No, I've got some cricket updates. Adam Zampa. What's happening, Adam?

1106.528 - 1108.531 Tom Morris

The BBL privatisation, it's all up in the air.

1108.551 - 1120.274 Kane Cornes

Where's Zampa? I heard there's some cricketers holding out and are threatening not to play for their country. Check that out on the new ball. You can. Tuesday night. With the ballers. We'll be back with your feedback. 1-300-736-736 next.

1120.294 - 1124.061 Unknown

So I don't lose my mind.
