Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Now, on Fireball, the Monday agenda. All right, let's get stuck into the agenda for IMAR, protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13 to get yourself covered today. 13 IMAR, that is. Tom, you've brought audio. I have, Cain. I'm a big fan of Chad Corns on the radio. I think he's doing an excellent job over there in Adelaide. Enjoyed working with him in Gather Around.
And he's always honest, as you are, Cain. And he's very close to Mitch Georgiades. And he spoke a few weeks ago about the fact that he believes Georgiades will go home Yeah, will go home to WA at the end of 2027 when he's out of contract. And this was refuted by Josh Carr. It caused a little stir between the Corns and the cars. And anyway, on the weekend, Mitch Georgiades was on ABC.
And this was sold by ABC as Mitch Georgiades, you know, putting a blanket on what Chad Corns said. I disagree. Have a listen to this audio. I think Mitch Georgiades absolutely backs in Chad Corns' reporting.
Forgive me for asking as well, but want to give you the right of reply. Chad Corn's stirred up trouble by saying you were thinking about going back west. Any truth to that, or is your heart at Alberton?
My heart's at Alberton. Let's just focus one game at a time.
Nice to see you chat to Chad, because I think Josh, your coach, said he'd have no idea.
I haven't spoken to Chad for a bit, not just because of that, but just in general. But no, really close with Chad. I've worked with him for the last seven years of my career. Yeah, I get on really well with him. Yeah, but he's throwing me under the bus at every one. What are your thoughts on that, Cain? I think that is absolutely justifying Chad's assessment a couple of weeks ago.
Well, it's a tricky spot for him to be put in, isn't it? Yes.

Chapter 2: What insights does Mitch Georgiades share about his future?
You could hear the awkwardness through the radio, so I didn't envy the position that he was in. Chad did say, I think what was lost is, I hope he stays. I love him, work closely with him. I really hope he stays at Port Adelaide. I think that had been lost. A little bit, but look, the offers are going to be huge, and if he wants to go home, it's going to be an interesting watch.
I mean, there's one easy way to put it to bed, and that's to sign a contract extension with Port Adelaide if they're happy to keep him. I still wouldn't completely rule out him having a look at the end of this year, and that would mean Port Adelaide can get more for him now than they would at the end of next year. I think that is very much on the cards as well.
They couldn't let him go, could they? Surely they couldn't let him go. Well, they said that about Dan Houston, and they let him go. So I think if a player walks in and says he wants to be traded and his trade value is high, they might say publicly no way, but if something good comes their way, then they'd have to consider it.
The whole thing revolves around Butters and what their strategy will be if Butters chooses to leave. Then the flow-on effect from that will trinkle down to the rest of the list. Kingy, what's on your agenda?
I want to get your thoughts. I don't know what Adam Uzay is seeing. It's doing my head in looking at this midfield, the slowest midfield I've ever seen. Just have rings ran around it every time they lose a clearance. Every time they lose a clearance, the game goes at a speed that their mids can't handle. And it's time to start throwing these young kids in there.
Still keep some senior players around the edges. But now Taranto's coming back. I'm concerned it's going to be Taranto, Hopper and Prestia for every centre bounce against. They're just getting rings run around them. I think they're the second highest behind the West Coast.
If they lose a clearance in terms of being able to contain the opposition from scoring, they're the second poorest team in the competition. So he needs to change this. What is he seeing, do you think?
Well, does he have the personnel would be the first question to that. But when you are rebuilding... The other week, the game was on the line. It might have been against Port Adelaide. And the start of the last quarter, they were only down by a couple of goals. The starting on-ball group was the same again. It was... It was Prestia, it was Taranto, I think, at the time.
There might have been one other. Not sure if Hopper played that day, but it might have been Hopper. I'm like, what is going on? This is a rebuilding group, and you've gone back to the world with this core group again. So, yep, we'll see what happens.

Chapter 3: What implications does Mitch Georgiades' potential move have for Port Adelaide?
Pass.
This is pick and stick. This is pick and stick, mate. You can't. Equal. What are you going to do? Talk to level five. I'm passing. BT versus JB. Well, I've worked with BT, so BT. Fireball or crunch time? Fireball. Cleary or Maguire? Pass. Have a great day, guys. Chris Fagan next.
