Chapter 1: Are Richmond taking list management advice from Hutchy?
Now on Fireball, the Friday Agenda. Alright, Sam Mitchell shortly. Right now the agenda for IMR, protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13-IMR to get yourself covered today. I wouldn't mind speaking about Zach Butters because I heard this little rumour on Triple M in Adelaide by my man Chris Dittmar yesterday, I think it was.
I can tell you this morning, Richmond is the absolute front runner. There's a deal on the table now for $18 million over eight years. It averages out at $2.25 million per year. Up front, there'll be $3 to $4 million in the first couple of years. And then it will average out to $2.25 over the journey if he was to take it. Are the Tigers listening to agenda setters?
Did they get this idea from the agenda? Here's Hutchie on April 13, if you don't mind.
If they are serious, Richmond, they will be unbelievably hard to beat in this and they are uniquely placed to be the winner if they get industrious.
How do they get it done?

Chapter 2: What is the financial deal on the table for Zach Butters?
So this whole game here is get Zach and pay him as much money as you can physically cope with and handle in the first two years. This is the way I would construct it. Four and a half year one, 2.3 year two and two million year three. You've got to move that money out.
Are the Tigers taking list management advice from the captain of the agenda setters? They've got the idea from Archie. Oh, why don't we do that? Yes. What? Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying that they did. What do you think they're running a milk bar or something down there? It's big, though. I love it. Ditz was pretty definitive.
Chapter 3: How are the Tigers uniquely positioned for success?
Now, always nervous when non-newsbreakers veer into newsbreaking territory. We copped a few wickets. What's the strike rate with that? Not good. Not good. Shout out to the Ox. Campbell Brown. Take it to the bank. So, dangerous territory for Ditts, but he's well-connected. 18 minutes out of eight years. 18-0, 2.25, with three to four in the first year. Well, how do Tigers fans feel about it?
I mean, they are one club that can do it. I think Port Adelaide would be happy to do it with Richmond more so than the Western Bulldogs or Collingwood because they're going to have pick two as a starting point. That would be the start and then there'd be some change involved in that.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Richmond's list management strategy?
I've heard a lot of different ways of attacking this discussion. I think it was Cal Toomey talked about Maybe offering up two or three options. I'm happy to go to Richmond, Dogs or Geelong. In that order. See what the best deal is you can get for your football club. A few ballers walking past. A couple of ballers. With the sign. See, the sign's not hard. No, not hard.
The gentleman with the crow's brain, he just put the sign up. He's worked it out. Which I don't think's a bad... That's a nice exit plan, isn't it? To give the club the best opportunity.
Chapter 5: What does the upcoming Q-Clash mean for the teams involved?
And he can go wherever they can get the best deal done. Yeah, within reason. Has that ever happened before? I can't remember a player going, I'm happy to go to one of three clubs, or I'm just happy to go to a state. You guys work it out. Usually, they name their club. If you're going to take the $18 million over eight years, it's a nice way of massaging it, isn't it? I haven't taken the money.
No, no, no. I said in court, I'll go to one of these three clubs. They chose the deal for Richmond, and here we are. Yeah, Hutchie also went on to say, make him instantly captain, and by the time Richmond are good again, he'll still have a lot of footy left. It'd be a big loss for the Dogs, wouldn't it? It could make sense. Yeah.
Chapter 6: How could a loss impact the Brisbane Lions' season?
Yeah, it would. It does have massive ramifications everywhere else. I just think he's made his mind up, though. I think he's made his mind up six, 12 months ago. You'd be allowed to revisit that, wouldn't you? I think Stephen King said with us. Oh, you could change your mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did. He said with us that it's a 12-month-ago decision.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's a – I mean, why would Richmond be throwing this money at him after watching one show of agenda setters? They might not know. What Hutchie's got to do. They might not know. I'd like to address this with Craig, actually.
Chapter 7: What challenges lie ahead for the Gold Coast Suns?
He's a year too late. He needs to bring these conversations forward 12 months. He does. All right, there's a big game. Last night was big, but there's some big games to be played. One of those this round is the Q Clash Kingy. All eyes have been on Brisbane. What's your thoughts on this one? Well, I've written my article for the Herald Sun tomorrow on the fallout for the Suns.
I mean, they can finish Brisbane's year tomorrow, as simple as that. So you think lose and it's over? Yeah, there's no coming back from that. And everyone still thinks they've got one Yelp to give. But if you look at the Suns next month of footy, they've obviously got the Lions and people first on Saturday. Then they go down to Geelong.
Chapter 8: Can the Suns avoid missing the top 10 this season?
To play at GMHBA. Off the back of two losses. Then Hawthorne go up to the Gold Coast. And then they go to Perth to play the Dockers. Okay. That is a run. It's a strong month. Strong month. Then they've got Collingwood up there, which will never easy. And then they come here for the Crows. Not easy. So it is on. We're going to find a lot about the Gold Coast Suns in the next six weeks.
Couldn't be missing the 10, could they? Couldn't be missing the 10, could they? No, that's like disaster. Well, if they lose this next round of four, they'll be out of the 10. Missing the six is a disaster, let alone the 10. My question is, could they? No, not a chance they could miss the 10. Not a chance. Not a chance. Timestamp this. The 5th of June at 8.09. Not a chance.
You're going to have a Dwayne Russell-style three-hour sitting if they miss the 10. I will have... I will drink two litres of milk in front of your eyes, Dwayne Russell-style, if they miss the 10. Two Red Bulls. You're bringing this up for a reason. You think... You were all over them pre-season. You'd been dined and dined. Love them. But they haven't quite been there, have they?
So this is what it's about, isn't it? This is the beauty of the game. You've got to find against the good sides, and they have got a horror four to six weeks coming after having a relatively soft draw early. that they probably haven't maximized. Now it's on. We find out. We find out whether the big boys can go up.
We find out what you're made of and whether or not Damien Hubbard can settle this lineup down. Sam Mitchell is going to join us. This is Fireball for Kogan. Switch to a Kogan mobile, low-priced phone plan. Kogan.com is clicking awesome. The genius up next.
