Kane and Kingy.
Fire.
No Kane and Kingy this morning. Sam Edmund and Tom Morris. It's fireball light. It's fraud ball. It's fluff ball. It's whatever you want to call us. We're open for that because you know what we are, Sam? We're the replacements and we're happy to fill in. It's 7.01. As Kane would say, if you're just joining us, we like you. We prefer the 6.01ers, but the 7.01ers will do as well. And welcome to the show. It's time for first thoughts for Signet. Life's never flat when you power every moment. with the Sydney Power Bank, sydney.com.au. And boy, do we have some thoughts this morning, Sam. I want to start at Adelaide versus Gold Coast and the remarkable media conference after this game where Damien Hardwick said the season is effectively over.
Got to figure out, you know, at the end of the day, we've got to sit there and find out. We look at last year, again, my responsibility. getting it done? Yeah it's a good question they just got beaten again they haven't had you know once again my responsibility they haven't had a great year you know we look at last year they were you know one of the best midfields in the competition and this year we're well off it you know it's my job to sit there and find out why sort of thing I've failed at that at the moment so yeah got to figure out and you know end of the day we've got we've got six weeks this year's you know effectively gone uh what we've got to do is forge our way forward about what we want ourselves to look like for next year you know from my point of view so the challenge is firmly set there for the playing group you know who we want to be you can sit there and after tonight's performance go into your shell or you can sit there and fight for something we've got to be better than what we are becomes pretty much mathematically impossible doesn't it at this stage or close thereabouts
Yeah, maybe.
The way we're playing, we don't deserve to make it. Well, the last point's true. Has David Hardwick completely lost his marbles? It's not mathematically impossible at all. If they win five of their last six, they could make it. If they win six of their last six, they'd definitely make it. And with the talent on their list, they should be looking to win every game, Sam. What's he talking about?
That's a really good question. They're a game out of, look, the top 10. That wouldn't have been there. A lot of people had them right at the pointy end. So the expectations around this side were absolutely huge. There's only one side that's given up at the moment, and that's Gold Coast.
Why did Damien Hardwick declare Gold Coast's season 'effectively gone' in his extraordinary press conference?
It's an extraordinary mission from a coach, isn't it? But when you think everything they normally sell publicly, and I'm sure privately, is hope and ambition. And what do we always hear? Well, if you're not striving to play well, then what's the point? He's thrown the towel in with however many rounds to go. And they're a game out. So I thought it was extraordinary press conference for a number of reasons. And it does point to, I mean, the exasperation in the coach. They've lost seven in a row. They've got a star-studded midfield that is now ranked dead and utter last in clearance. That's what I mean earlier when I said there's got to be something that we're not privy to the details of behind the scenes.
It's not working out well. Because there's no other explanation for the fact this side could fall as hard and as far as they're complete. Not a free fall at the moment. Seven losses in a row. Hard to see where the next win's coming from. And they had the talent and they had the platform to achieve so much more out of 2026.
It's a disaster for the football club. Is there an argument that Damien Hardwick has completely lost his mojo as a coach? That whatever he had at Richmond, which was remarkable, he hasn't been able to rediscover at the Suns.
Well, I thought there were good signs last year, weren't there?
