The Friday Agenda.
Fireball.
The agenda's for IMA, protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13IMA to get yourself covered today. Kingy, you've got something you want to put on the agenda?
Firstly, I want to ask you about the Paul Curtis suspension. Have we gone too far?
Yes. But you're part of the problem here. Oh, right. Okay. You are part of the problem because you want to crack down so strongly for years on head knocks. And I get it. You come from a good place with this and it's been a passion project of yours. But you cannot...
uh legislate all of the accidental head knocks out of the game otherwise we don't have a game so there is as i've always said a certain element of risk that you have when you play the game you can make the game safer which i think they've done a very good job of doing but for a standard tackle like that that ends in a concussion just because he's concussed

Chapter 2: What led to the suspension of Paul Curtis?
Dangerous tackle or a sling tackle. Well, you see, the Paul Curtis... No, no, they're not the same thing. The Paul Curtis one wasn't a sling tackle. No, I agree with you.
Chapter 3: Have we gone too far with suspensions in football?
And that's what we're talking about. But if there were to be other sling tackles, they'd get suspended. We don't see them anymore. The players have adjusted incredibly quickly, like they were always going to.
I think we've gone way too far. I think it's been an outrageous success. We've gone way too far in trying to legislate all head injuries out of the game.
You will never get all out of the game, and we're not trying to get all out of the game. We're trying to do as many as we can.
They clearly are trying to get all out of the game because if that tackle doesn't result in any injury, no one even replays it. It doesn't even see the light of day. But just because of the fact that there is an accidental head injury, then he gets three weeks. I don't know.
If it doesn't have a sling involved in the tackle and it's not a dumping motion, then I don't think he should be suspended. I agree with you. I think this one is, for the second time for this poor fellow, has fallen in that grey area and he's found himself on the wrong side of it, which I thought they were going to use the allowance to minimise the penalty. What happened to that? I'm not sure.
Where's the three down to two or three down to one? I haven't looked deeply into Norse legal case, but yeah, I think they tried to argue... We had Dennis DiNudo, I think. They tried to argue the severity of the contact, which they were never going to be able to get that reduced because he was concussed. So I just think they went about it the wrong way.
Anyway, should his teammates... Never have Dennis DiNudo again.
Should his teammates, or anyone for that matter, be able to be critical on social media of these decisions, like Jai Sinkin was?
This is consistent with the discussion we had the other day about coaches saying things in the post-match. I want to hear all opinions. And if they're framed in a manner that's not disrespectful to one person or one section, then I think we've got to be strong enough to handle that. I thought Xander Maguire handled it perfectly earlier in the week. I thought his comments were spot on.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of head injury legislation in sports?
That would be something. Stevie J, Cousins, Kerry. I mean, just the after party alone. Where do you sign? Where do you buy seats to that? That's what needs to happen. That is absolutely what needs to happen.
Yeah, that will be well worth getting a ticket to.
And just to straighten it up, maybe throw you in there just to bring the average down. For some boredom.
Boy, we don't know about that. All right, so we've got a big guest coming up on the other side of this. Jordan Ngoi is going to join us. Big game for them on Saturday. I'll be interested to see Jordan's thoughts just on all things Collingwood. Fair bit, we've got to ask him about there as well, as well as his own form, which has been... Absolutely sparkling.
All right, you're listening to Fireball. We'll be back after this.
