Chapter 1: What insights did Tom Morris share from Luke Beveridge's press conference?

0.149 - 18.653 Kane Cornes

Tyne and Kingy. Really good show today. Quite happy with it. If you ask me, for Cobham Estate though, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil growing, harvesting and first coal pressed in northern Victoria. A key part of the Monday operation on Fireball is this man.

0

18.773 - 31.253 Kingy

Yes, here he is. He's had a big weekend. Did you see him on the weekend? What do you mean? He did his first Western Bulldogs press conference on the weekend. Yes. I miss this. Yeah.

0

31.351 - 41.713 Tom Morris

How'd it go? How'd it go? First Luke Beveridge post-game presser in more than four years, and it happened to be a Melbourne game as well, so the symmetry was uncanny. Not lost on you?

0

41.733 - 50.472 Kane Cornes

Not lost on me. You got the nerve to sit here and ask me a question, Tom Morris. You're a Melbourne supporter. You've watched it a few times.

0

50.652 - 69.171 Tom Morris

You've been preying on us. It should be part of his stinger, I reckon. Yeah, it is. It was part of his stinger earlier, actually. That went all right? Absolutely fine. No issue at all. There was a moment I asked the first couple of questions to Bevo. What was your first question? I was just, tell us about the game. What are your thoughts on the game? Nothing to do with selection.

69.151 - 75.341 Tom Morris

Nothing to do with Ryan Gardner or Lockie Hunter or anything? Did your voice wobble a little bit? Was there any nervousness?

75.461 - 75.661 Kingy

All fine.

75.761 - 91.946 Tom Morris

I will check this. All fine because the dogs won, but there was a screenshot that was posted by someone on Twitter of Luke Beveridge scratching his face when he was talking to me with a rude finger. And it was pointed out to me that he was doing that deliberately in a subtle way. I don't believe that was the case. I shook his hand after.

92.507 - 95.091 Tom Morris

We are all good, Bevo and I, now, so there's no stress whatsoever.

Chapter 2: What is the latest update on Darcy Moore's hamstring injury?

677.581 - 677.981 Kane Cornes

Zero. Okay.

0

678.442 - 695.402 Tom Morris

The following week against the Hawks? Unlikely. No, I think far more likely the following week and straight back in without a VFL game. That's a risk not worth taking. Yeah. So that is the news around Will Day and Cody Waitman. Two players that at their best will boost their respective teams.

0

695.382 - 719.866 Kane Cornes

okay all right uh you've got some uh information around umpire contact hours i said it was three hours contact per week which is not enough where where do you think it is well i know it is they're paid yes they're paid as if there's 25 contact hours i know they're paid i know they're paid as if there's 25 so let me just That's not the question. How many contact are they actually there for?

0

719.886 - 729.45 Tom Morris

Not what they're paid for. On Tuesdays, they go in from 3 to... It starts at about 3 or 3.30. They're there till about 7 or 7.30 in the evening.

0

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Darcy Moore's injury history for Collingwood?

729.571 - 747.914 Tom Morris

So a cool four hours. Yep. So they're all together there. That's when they have individual coaching sessions with Michael Jennings, who's the head coach. He's a gun. And then they've got team coaching sessions with the umpiring group they umpired with in the weekend. Then a broader coaching session as well. Then they've got to do their own fitness and strength and speed work.

0

747.954 - 754.903 Kane Cornes

Yeah, that's their own. I'm talking contact. So you've got me at four. Now, where do we find the other 19 or 21 hours from?

0

755.795 - 760.761 Tom Morris

Well, where else do you want it to be? Given that if they're on it on Tuesday, they might be umpiring on a Thursday.

0

760.981 - 766.668 Kane Cornes

So does that count as well? That's the point. That's the whole point. Like four hours contact is what you've given me.

0

766.909 - 768.911 Tom Morris

They can jump on a module anytime.

768.931 - 781.186 Kane Cornes

I know they can jump on a module, but is that good enough? That our AFL umpires who are paid more than assistant coaches have three hours contact at training per week. Is that acceptable?

781.207 - 784.03 Tom Morris

I'm not giving you an opinion. I'm just telling you what it is.

784.01 - 797.313 Kane Cornes

No, well, and I'm saying that is... So you're arguing with someone that's not giving you an argument back? No, I'm not arguing with you. I'm just passionate about that. He sometimes argues with himself. I just play a passive role. That is the biggest revelation on fireball in fireball history.

797.654 - 800.719 Kingy

You don't have to be at work to be bettering yourself, though.
