Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Fine and kingy. All right, I'll turn my microphone. We'll get stuck into this for Cobham Estate, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. They bring us Tom Morris. Welcome in, Tom. Hello, Cain. Hello, Kingy.
Good to be wearing the 601 cap this morning. You look good. Yeah, I'm a cap guy, as we know. Historically, you've been a cap guy. For good reason. Not so much now. So I was walking along the turf at Marvel Stadium yesterday, and I reckon between six to eight different blokes yelled out turkey to me. So can I just make one thing very clear? Yeah.
Hang on, this isn't an ad. We know you didn't go to Turkey. You've said it before. That's it on your hair. Let's talk about Jai Simkan. You said it for me.
Let's talk about Jai Simkan. Okay, no worries at all. So Jai Simkan last week was given an official warning, and so are you. That's an official warning.
Yeah, that is.
No more. No more. No worries.
noted uh jive simpkin was given an official warning for criticizing the mro and the tribunal on his instagram and then he was asked about it by alexia pesce post game yesterday now your week todd viney said he'd come with you to the afl if you wanted to ask for some uh instructions around whether you can go to social media to voice some frustrations will you or will you not be going to the afl
I'll let it be for now. I had my time on social media and yeah, I'll let it go for now. Do you regret it at all? Nah, not at all. If I had it my way, I would have kept it up.
So that's Jai Simpkin doubling down yesterday post-game. So this has actually become quite an issue amongst the players towards the AFL and that is how much players should be able to talk or voice their criticisms of

Chapter 2: What warning did Jy Simpkin receive from the AFL?
I think we all are aware of where the line sits and you didn't cross it. So, yeah, I think it's been blown up only because of the AFL's involvement.
I think it's okay to have a simple guideline like act in a disrespectful or a manner that is – It puts at stake the reputation of people in the game. Yeah, we know that though, don't we? But you still need something in black and white because when it happens, there'll be, oh, well, hang on, how come we don't have a table for this? How come it's not part of the matrix?
But it's never black and white, is it though, Tom? You've mentioned that with the collard stuff and the homophobic slurs. It's never, ever black and white. Like every individual case is almost different, isn't it?
It is. The question I have for both of you is if this happened every week, if players were criticizing the tribunal, the MRO every week, would we be capable?
When the club goes, pull your head in. Chris Davies goes to Patrick Cripps, the hypothetical. Patrick, pull your head in. Not everything has to go through the AFL. I mean, back in the day, clubs used to handle this type of thing. And you get up in front of your teammates, and that was embarrassment enough.
But then, you know, I just think clubs have some responsibility here as well if their players are stepping outside the line. I know it's not on your agenda, but Naz has got nothing to worry about, does he? What's going to happen there? $1,000 fine for the bird?
Yeah, $1,000 fine. I double-checked this last night. So it still exists for players for all what I think it's obscene gestures, which is classified as the bird. I'm saying it with a laugh because I don't think anyone particularly cares. Ross Lyon was non-committal in the media conference after the game. But I think he probably gets a fine from them.
He was briefed well though, wasn't he, Ross? He was briefed well by Anna. He was briefed by his media person a couple of times, which he said.
I'd like to make a shift from the fines to a form of time commitment. Okay. Back to the community football. Players hate losing time. They don't care about a thousand bucks. Especially Naz. Naz. Do you reckon Naz is going to lose any sleep over $1,000? Don't think so.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of player criticisms towards the AFL?
The agenda for tomorrow will become more clear after today. All the CEOs meet on the Gold Coast. Not all the CEOs are there. Carl Delina from St Kilda is on a couple of weeks off. Funky Carl Delina. Funky Carl Delina. Funky Carl Delina. So Chris Ford's replacing him. Is Ned Guy back yet? Craig Kelly, I believe, is back. Who's here on the weekend. Yes.
Ned Guy's replacing Brian Cook, who's still away at Melbourne. There's a number of different topics on the agenda. Mark Evans, the Gold Coast CEO, is hosting a panel with a couple of players to talk about how athletes can help bring new audiences to the game and also clubs.
I imagine one of those athletes will be Christian Petrarca, given they're up on the Gold Coast and what he's done with his TikTok. But the most football... Centric topic today will be led by Tom Harley, and that is future proofing the competition, which is how does the competition look when Tasmania come in? How many rounds are there? Where do the buyers sit? What about in-play tournaments?
And a few weeks ago, all the CEOs were. sent a memo by the AFL asking for different ideas to come up with when they enter this Gold Coast retreat, I guess. And they will put them all forward today in a melting pot and then they'll discuss it all. So I'd imagine there'd be some pretty crazy and wacky ideas that come out of the discussions this afternoon.
No doubt you will have your spies feeding you that information as it trickles out throughout the week. I'm sure of it. Hey, stick around. There's plenty more news, including the story that you broke yesterday which has become a legal situation for the Melbourne Football Club. It's a big week at the Bombers. Some news on a couple of players as well.
Tom Morris with more news after our little news break. He's here for Cobham Estate's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. Tom Morris is here. He broke the story around the... Well, you tell us what's happened, the latest developments with Stephen May.
So this stems from Good Friday, Cain, when we broke the story on SEN that there had been a teams meeting held between the club and the partners of players to update all of them on the situation around Stephen May after police had visited his house with his partner. So news broke last Friday that Steve May's partner, Saatchi Dade, is suing Melbourne Football Club, Stephen King and Alan Richardson.
So just put that into context for you. This is the partner of a recently retired player suing the club, the coach and the footy boss that oversaw the flag that her partner played in in 2021. So I'm chasing some more info around this for Agenda Setters tonight, Kane.
But what we can bring you this morning is more details on why Saatchi was angry with the club following the team's meeting in early February. So, yes, she was hurt by what was said in the meeting, particularly from Alan Richardson and the private nature of those comments.

Chapter 4: What happened with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and the crowd?
I think that's a big story to be covering.
I reckon Hawthorne will ring you within a half an hour of this show finishing today.
And they'll say, how did you find that out? I'll say, well, you've got 23 players that play for the Hawthorne Footy Club that are out in the field. The injury updates for Carbone lawyers. Injured and need a good lawyer. You know what to do. Get Carbone on the phone. Sinclair calf or Achilles? We're not sure here.
Well, Jack Sinclair told me it was a calf. So I walked up to him. I said, is it calf or Achilles?
The interesting thing was the moon boot.
No, well, it's true. But I remember Nathan Lyon, when he did his calf in 2023, had a moon boot and crutches as well. So a serious calf can be that. You'd have to say his season's in doubt.
Nicely done bringing it back to cricket. Hey, what about TDK?
Always. I'll just give you an example of a bad calf. TDK hurt his ribs, came to the bench, was sent back on, and then sent to hospital at halftime for what the club called precautionary scans. Haven't been able to get an update this morning, but... This didn't look good for him at all. He was in serious pain.
Ross Lyon was a bit more upbeat about it after the game in his media conference, said precautionary. Is this the Petrarca fallout, do you think, where clubs are now paranoid about anything internal that could be going on? Well, it should be.

Chapter 5: What are the main topics on the agenda for the CEOs meeting on the Gold Coast?
Yes, thanks. That'd be great. Yeah, but it's sort of like a takeaway bakery set up. So you've got to pay for a little. It's a business, Kingy. Come on. Yeah, exactly. Worth every cent. The weather is all thanks to City Power. As always, citypower.com.au to check for anything you need to know about. The agenda with Tom Morris on the other side of this.
Just like this. No range from the baseline. Move like an apparition.
