All your calls are more as we sit on the gateway to round 20, which starts with a pair of Broadway classics. News everywhere. Coaches, players. Where do you start? Where do you end? Tim Watson, good morning to you. Come on. Calm down. Oh, I'm excited. Calm down. Fruit fly, what's going on?
Gee whiz. He got some feedback on that yesterday. Did you? Yeah. No sympathy. No empathy. Fair enough. Anything from the South Australian government or not? No, they can't get me twice. Right. Settled that. Made sure the payment was made and it's all gone through and done and dusted. But just keep, you know, when you keep the receipt. Yes. Instead of a sense of anxiety. So, no, that's done. The temper text. Drop us one. 0433 98 11 16. And Mimosa Homes open line 1300. 736-736, how was your day yesterday?
Yes, it was a good day. I went out and visited my mate who's out in a nursing facility out in Essendon. So that was interesting. I got told by... It's a sad place, but at the same time, there's some... humorous moments from time to time and there's a guy there yesterday who they were about to serve lunch and he sort of was rounding everybody up to make sure that everybody sat down in their spot so that they could prepare themselves for lunch and then I'm sitting there with my mate Alec and I'm just having a conversation with him and he just said okay you out he marched me yeah out get out I've heard you talk about Alec a lot how often would you go out and visit once a week
Yeah, okay. Once a week.
How long have you been doing that for? No, he's been in there. I was trying to work it out the other day. I think he's been in there for nearly two and a half years. Weekly? Yeah, he's a friend. He's a great friend. Glenn Manton, he's a good mate of his. He's in there often. And some of his old mates that he played football with, there's always somebody there. Yeah, it's just something. Glad, man.
There's a character of football. Man, shit. Love that. All right. The Ramble, for our great friends at Cobram Estate Olive Oil, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. They're grown and harvested first cold pressed in northern Victoria. I spoke to Bluey McKenna yesterday for This Is Your Journey that's going to go to air on Sunday. How many questions did you need to ask? He's a long answerer. He is, but... In an environment like this, that's what you want because the long-form chat, we covered a lot of ground.
What happened during Tim's weekly visit to his mate at the nursing facility?
Clearly, the main premise of getting him on was his experience being an inaugural coach of an AFL club, as he was. But do you remember him calling for a headcount one day against the Saints? He was only the third VFL AFL captain in history to call for a headcount. He did it against the Saints in 1999. He's out there. They're getting smacked. And he's looking around and he's like, I reckon they've got – They've got 19 on here. And he looks over at the bench and there's just a, you know, at the whacker as it was, there was just a white deck. They use those white plastic chairs and there was no one on a whiteboard. They've got to have an extra on. There's no one on the, they haven't got all their players on the bench.
And there was an extra forward or something that was unheard of in those days. It's like, right. And the umpire kept going, Bluey, you sure you want to call for it? You sure? Yeah. Stuff it. I'm calling for it. Right. Lines them all up. And they've got 18. And he goes, oh, the chirp from the Saints after we called a head count. It turns out they've got 18.
Why didn't he tell the runner to get somebody else to count before he called it? So is there any – so you do that.
