Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Now on Fireball, the Friday Agenda. Alright, jam-packed agenda today for IMAR, protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13-IMAR to get yourself covered today. There was a bit of an issue with Craig McRae interacting with Brodie Grundy. Caroline Wilson on the agenda set has said that four opposition clubs had an issue with it.
It was shot down significantly from others in the media as if it was no issue. Firstly, Craig was asked about it yesterday in his media conference.
Do you think it's right that senior coaches speak to players while they're playing, like while you're coaching from the boundary? Is that something that maybe does need to be checked?
Well, if you have a strong relationship with someone, I don't see an issue with it. I coached him when he was this high. Not quite. When he first got drafted, I got a really strong relationship, great respect for Brodie. There's nothing untoward. At the appropriate time, I won't be able to tell you what I said.
That was Craig McRae. The Sydney coach is Dean Cox.
Here's what he had to say.

Chapter 2: Should coaches interact with opposition players during games?
My philosophy on that is if I was down on the bench, I don't speak to other players. That's where I would leave it. We haven't spoken at length about being unhappy or happy with it. So we haven't spoken to anyone about it. That's just what I would do if I was down there and what I expect my staff that are on the bench to do.
So from here on, Kingy, do you think it's reasonable that coaches coaching from interchange bench don't interact with either the opposition coach or opposition players. Should that be the blanket rule?
Yeah, that'd be a fair start, wouldn't it? And not getting involved in the stuff, the silly stuff, like calling for the ball and not picking it up. It's just things we don't need. Craig's just got to pull his head in a little bit there. He knows. He knows it's a bad look.
My point is it was a story. There was a lot of people that shot this down as if there was nothing to see here. But even Adam Simpson said on 360 during the week that he wasn't upset about it, but just didn't love it, I don't think. So I think it was well worth reporting, and I don't think we'll see that again from Craig McRae on the bench. What's on your agenda?
Well, I just want to just, for a moment, just let me do this. The Jump and Punch podcast guys from Carlton, I mean, they've just got to be better than what they were this week. And I think that they should shut down their podcast, to be honest, if that's how they're going to handle themselves. And no one's perfect. I'm not perfect.
I've made mistakes before, but I work with a lot of women in footy and they do it harder than you would imagine. They have to be absolutely word perfect every time. Their research has to be unbelievable. They make a mistake. The critiques are so strong. I see Sarah Jones do the work. I see Lauren Wood. I see Kelly Underwood. I see all of them do the work over and above.
And every step of the way, they just get whacked like this. So I just felt for the rival podcast, the young ladies on that, we've just got to be better. And we're in a phase now where next week we're going to have Carlton Respects round. We've just got to be better. So those guys –
hang up your boots well said and where's where's the apology has there been an apology I haven't seen anything from that but you are right we have the most magnificent hard working women in the game Kate McCarthy I work with Caro I work with for so long there's no one I respect more than Caro and to listen to their stories about how hard it's been for them to make it in the industry.
We can't be having... I was just embarrassed for them. It was embarrassing to sit there and then to have everyone else pile on and laugh and not understand the significance of those words was a real dark day, really, for us. And those views clearly are not reflected by anyone else. So well said. To straighten us up.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Jumper Punch podcast comments?
I haven't seen a story like this for a long time. And we just wish this guy well and those around him well over the next short term.
Yeah, that one got me. I couldn't watch that. And then FreezeMND coming up and just how important it is to keep raising the money so that this one day can be beaten. All right, that was the agenda.
