Unknown 0:00
Kane and King. Zappa Bowl. Slog sweep into the arc. That's going all the way for S out. Everts on strike again. That is a I was gonna say it's a beautiful shot. It's a nice looking shot, but it's out. Straight to mid onto his.

Yes, Tom Morris is here to talk about the Aussies going uh two nil down against South Africa in the fifty over format open we get stuck with that. Tom, good morning. Morning Kane,
Tom Morris 0:37
morning Kingy, how are you both? Wow,
David King 0:39
Chris Fagan,
Tom Morris 0:39
is
David King 0:40
he well we've
Tom Morris 0:40
he's not gonna walk away, is he? I think he's every chance to walk away. Yeah. Th there are people very close to him that expect him to walk away, but he hasn't made that final call yet, so we won't know until he does. But this is happening next week.
David King 0:51
Your Fagan pie.
Tom Morris 0:52
Percentages uh walk away sixty-five, stay thirty-five. Sixty-five, yeah. Damn. What do you think? When would we know? Do you reckon? Like in the next I think he'd make a call in the next few days, like this week, like Tuesday, Wednesday. Yeah.
David King 1:05
So my feeling is he's gonna think about it hard. At the moment, it might be sixty-five, thirty-five, but in the next couple of days I think that's gonna shift back.
Tom Morris 1:13
The other way. I think six weeks ago it was ninety-ten walk away. So I think it has walked back a bit.
Kane Cornes 1:17
I think this is a really smart play at not having to do preseason. Yeah, Chris Scott Star. Spaghs is outsmarting the world. Next time we'll see him with Jan tenth. Yeah. Or February one. Yeah. Just come back late. And that's what they should do. Yeah. Regardless, give him a break. Let him go.
Tom Morris 1:33
Yeah. So so the conversation, if he does step away, will quickly turn to who takes over and he sort of alluded to it in that in very good interview you guys just did with him around two internal candidates. So I think it's important just to get ahead of this in case this does happen this week. That's what we do in fireball. We try to get ahead of things, as you know. So Danny Daly is the footy manager. He was um Chris Fagan's right hand man as an assistant coach and head of strategy for six years. And for the last six he's been the footy boss. So he's had twelve years with him. You know, and he's probably the most like for like replacement. He's an experienced football person. And he spoke on crunch time on Saturday before the game about his desire to coach.
Unknown 2:12
Are are you a coach in your soul, Danny?

When is a decision expected on whether Chris Fagan will stay or step down?

Unknown 2:14
Um yeah, I'd like to think so. Um I'm a bit like Fags in terms of you still battle a little bit with belief and the fact you haven't played the game at the highest level. Um so yeah, uh I like to think I potentially could be, but um the way footy's working at the minute it goes around in roundabouts, doesn't it? There was a stage there when it was uh all about um you know phagues have set the trend. So let's go for the older guy, but it seems to be now that it's all about going for the first time young c assistant coaches into the coaching role. Um but yeah, there there is a little bit of a desire there, yeah.
Tom Morris 2:47
So big decisions for Danny Daly to make in the short term as well, 'cause Essenden really like him. I think other Victorian clubs want him as well, and there is a pullback to Victoria at some stage. So there's a there there is a world where if Fagan stays or if someone else gets the job if Fagan goes, that Danny Daly isn't actually there next year by his own choice and decides to take off what would be a monumental task at Essenden take on a monumental task at Essendon. So that's one.
David King 3:12
So the other contender is Cameron Bruce that Chris Fagan was talking about.
Tom Morris 3:15
Yeah, so he turned down uh interviews with Melbourne last year when Stephen King ended up getting the job. Carlson this year, his daughter's in year twelve, uh in Queensland.
David King 3:26
Yeah, didn't want to
Tom Morris 3:26
speak to North either. So he's settled in Queensland, a hugely popular candidate as well. And the only other one I can think of that could potentially even be spoken to would be Murray Davis, who spent thirteen years at the Brisbane Lions.
