Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Now, on Fireball, the Monday Agenda. Turn up your radio.
The Monday Agenda is for all. I'm our protecting trade. He's in buildings for over 35 years. Call 131 to get yourself covered today. Tom Morris is here. We've covered a lot of ground, but I do want to ask you about the process at the Bombers and where this sits.
So Andrew Welsh spoke at the President's Function pre-game last night. I was sitting on the tarmac at Sydney Airport at the time, but I did follow what he said. And he said, we will do the process in our own time. We've had private interest in the job as well as some public interest. It's clear the public interest is James Hurd.
The private interest I find intriguing because I think there are assistant coaches out there that would like this Essendon job. And I think there are assistant coaches out there that would back themselves against a Hurd or a Longmire. but no one knows exactly how deep this process is going to be or how exhaustive it's going to be.
I think there's every chance Essendon goes, these are our two people we'd like to talk to, and they talk to them both, and then they give one the job.

Chapter 2: What is the process for Essendon to find their next coach?
I don't think they necessarily have a five- or six-step process which would bring the assistant coaches in, but that will be determined in the next couple of weeks.
You're going to name one of those panels to find the –
It might just be Andrew Welsh and Tim Roberts and Ted Richards. It could easily just be those three.
I love that. Yeah, I don't mind that either. That's fine. You know what you need. Yep. You don't need someone else to come in and tell you what you need from outside.
No issue with that. That's what Carlton are doing. Chris Davies and Graeme Wright are really running it. Adam Simpson will be involved in the business end. But really, it's Graeme Wright and Chris Davies. Yeah, I love that. But Essendon is behind Carlton in terms of the process. Is that an issue or not? Not really. No.
There's a lot of good coaches out there.
Yeah. What if Tasmania, like Longmire, does that make Essendon move a little bit quicker? Because the Tasmania process is ahead.

Chapter 3: Who are the potential candidates for the Essendon coaching position?
They had a strategy meeting on Friday. Sorry, a board meeting where they talked about strategy. And they would like to appoint a coach by the end of July at the latest. End of July. That's going to come quickly, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Who their footy boss is going to be is interesting. I spoke to Alistair Lynch about this at the SCJ yesterday, and he didn't give me anything, which is fine.
But this is a big role, and it's not necessarily a hugely attractive role for someone living in Melbourne or living in Sydney or living in Adelaide. They need a senior football person. I know they spoke to Graeme Wright when he was overseas to see if he'd like to come back and be the footy boss. It's not an easy role to fill, I reckon. Who are the candidates? Give me some names.
Well, someone like Brad Scott would make perfect sense at Tasmania, but he's not going to want to move to Hobart, I would have thought. Someone like Chris Davies, Graham Wright, Jeff Walsh, these senior football people, Danny Daly, but who's going to want to go down there realistically for this gig? So I'm not sure. I really don't know who they've got their eyes on. I don't know.
I'm just giving you senior football people names.
Collingwood play today. The story around Craig Kelly stepping down at some point in the near future. And they've got a couple of other positions to fill. How are they going, Collingwood, just from your outside observations?
Well, the inside observation from people I've spoken to is they need a head of development. They do not have a head of development. They didn't replace Josh Fraser last year. We've spoken about that a couple of times. And this is no knock on Chloe McMillan or Nathan Murphy, who people believe are excellent development coaches, but there's no one overseeing the development department.
And that is unusual for a football club to be in that position. Who replaces Craig Kelly is interesting. So... Charlie Gardner is an internal candidate. Travis Older has been spoken about as well. He's the Formula One boss, used to be at the AFL. And then Dave Matthews' name has been mentioned as well. So it's a plum gig, the CEO of Collingwood.
I know that their list position isn't great at the moment, but in terms of looking after this club, they've got some big projects and a huge fan base.
Do you think Dave Matthews left GWS knowing this was an opportunity?

Chapter 4: How is the Tasmania coaching search progressing?
The Ballers are calling for our own social channels and our own podcast feed. So Fireball only socials and Fireball only podcast feed, which I think would be nice. Is there an upside in that for us? Try to segregate yourself. No, I'm not trying to segregate us. I think this makes it easier for our audience to find us. Get away from the new Ballers.
We have our own, so we can post more stuff to our socials, the stupid stuff that we do, which gets a good response. The walk and talk. We can do walk and talks. That got a good run.
From the Adelaide Oval. I'm actually thinking that Barat and me on the new ball should do a walk and talk.
No one gives a shit about the new ballers. Stop swearing. I have to keep telling you to stop swearing. It's not a podcast. No one cares. It's not a podcast. Stop trying to cross over with this new ball stuff. I'm telling you. Hey, all right, last week the Crystal Ballers went crazy. He puts me under the pump. We put you under the pump. I've got a new one for him. Do we have music?
Here it is, yes. We do.
Now on Fireball. Crystal Ballers. Tom Morris.
He's doing his own thing. The only man in formal history to do his own voiceover for his own segment.
I just did it in the outbreak. That's why I ran out. The triple agent said, come with me.
He's had a fair bit on the triple agent. Okay. All right. What have you got for me this morning? I want the latest Zach Butters. I know you did it last week, but has your position changed?

Chapter 5: How does Collingwood's coaching situation impact their team structure?
You can do whatever you want. I want to know crystal ball style.
Mm-hmm.
Who will coach these teams in 2027? Round one, 2027. And I'll start with, I feel like I need the music. I need the music, JK.
Chapter 6: What changes are needed in Collingwood's development department?
I would like to know who will coach the Estonian football. One name and one name only.
So this is my best guess. Yes.
Yep.
John Longmire. Okay. Essendon. Okay. Well, in that case, that opens up a door down at Royal Parade. Who coaches Carlton? Corey Enright. Corey Enright. Ross will drive him there, I heard. Who will then coach Tasmania? Bucks is listening. Ken Hinckley. That's thrown a cat amongst the pigeons, those three names. Where will Nathan Buckley coach next year? Geelong.
Where will James Heard be next year?
Footy Furnace.
Footy Classified. Port Melbourne.
Footy Furnace.
Okay. Still on? Don't know, actually. Okay. Turn the temperature down. Turn the temperature down.
