Who should present the Premiership Cup and why does it matter?
Let's get stuck
into
the agenda. Tommy, do you want to go first with your agenda
item? Yes, definitely. The one magnet I'm looking at this weekend for GS Chess is who presents the Premiership Cup. Now, Chess teaches many life skills, learns from good moves at gschess.com.au. If the Frio Dockers win, last time it would have been Peter Bell in 2013. Are you going Peter Bell again, or are you going Nat Phyfe, or are you flying Matthew Pavlich down from Sydney? What are you doing, Kingy? David Mundy. David Mundy. I like that. Kane? It has to
be the Pav
for
me. Even though he's a Swan CEO? Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. There's
been people that
have presented cups that have had various roles. Not rival CEOs. Whereabouts? Well, I'm sure there's been media performers. I'm sure there's been people who have played different roles at different places. That is the
worst argument you've ever come up with on Fireball.
You know what the best argument is? Your greatest ever player and most influential person in the club's history should present your first Premiership Cup. That's the best argument. And
what about the Brisbane Lions? Is this your
research department or is it more having a crack at your back
office? Yeah,
that's fine. That's fair. I
hadn't done the
due
diligence.
Which unheralded Brisbane Lions players could be ideal cup presenters?
What about the Brisbane Lions? Who presents for them? Brisbane Lions. I mean, they've had some... Spoiled, aren't they? Yeah. S. Black. Simon Black.
Yep. Yep. Cornsy? I would like one of those unheralded premiership stars that haven't had the accolades and the brand lows. Marcus Ashcroft? Someone like a Marcus Ashcroft would be a good pick. A Darryl White type.
Martin
Pike, can you? Luke Power type. They can't go wrong. They can't go wrong, Brisbane.
They would have cup presenters for the next 20 years. They can go back to back 20 times. Imagine if they
had two three-peats in the same 26-year block or 25-year block. This most ridiculous footy club and how bad they were 10 years ago. They had to get assistance from the AFL. Anyway, you could do a study on that, but it's an amazing turnaround.
Kingy, anything on your agenda before I unleash?
I want to talk about the play that won't be spoken about on review shows. And I just want to take my hat off to James Rowbottom for his efforts over the last couple of weeks. And I don't know whether you saw the play or not, Corns. I did. Did I force
them back?
What was the standout, unsung‑hero play by James Rowbottom?
Forced them back 70 metres. And in the end, Sheldrick kicked the goal. Sheldrick got the finish. But it was all James Rowbottom. I don't know if we're celebrating. To me, that was a preliminary final type play. Not really a possession. Not really any reward for him. But a little shout out to James Rowbottom for me, for a player of the day.
It's a good call. Those unsung heroes that won't get spoken about enough because their team lost. Had they won, we're speaking about these types of players. The Gold Coast Best and Fairest, I think they held it at the same time as the prelim on Saturday, so I'm not sure there was many eyeballs on this. And maybe they did it deliberately to take out the trash, but... How much does Hardwick hate Ben King? Yeah. There's 12 players inside Gold Coast top 10 because there's a couple of draws. And Ben King doesn't make the top 12 of Gold Coast
best and fairest. Not for the first time, mind you. I agree. So all year I've been saying that Hardwick hadn't warmed to Ben King as a player. And if they want to trade, to make this a trade rather than take the compensation, it doesn't help their cause to argue why Ben King's worth a lot. Not in the top 12 of the best and fairest is an amazing stat. There were
some really disappointing performances in this. Like Petrarca finished equal 10th after the start that he had to the season. Anderson finished equal 5th. Now you think, oh, I'll take it. But like, no, Anderson should be... One or two in this bet. Matt Rau finished eighth.
Why is Ben King missing the Gold Coast Best & Fairest top‑12?
Missed some footy. Missed a bit of footy, but Matt Rau's been beaten by John Noble. Like, Noah Anderson's been beaten by Leo Lombard and Mac Andrew in Gold Coast Best in Ferris. They need to do some soul-searching over there, and this was just solidified with the way that the coaches have seen some of their players' performance this year.
