Good morning everybody. Great to see you again. Great to see you again. What's going on? Um I'm just asking uh my chat GPT how many games uh Jim Jess played of AFL, VFL football. Jimmy Jess. The ghost. Yeah, the ghost. Was it it'd be over 200, wouldn't it? Uh yeah, easily over 200. I'm just reading a story um online about Jim Jess. What are the AFL's priorities? Question mark. Making money or looking after players who used to put on the show. So he's saying that uh there should be more grand final tickets or more finals tickets available to past players. We got smacked in the head a few times. We did the hard yard. We played the game, but the AFL is interested only m only interested in making money. I would have thought that he would have qualified for um one or two finals tickets or grand final tickets, but Is he a
hall of fame he's not is he's not in the hall of
fame, but he would be if you're a two hundred gamer. You get
I think you get access to one ticket. But you've got to register as you well know.
Yes. Yes he played two twenty three games, Gary, before you get onto my technical uh abilities.
I was just looking at you for the first time this morning. What happened to your face?
Oh no, I don't want to talk about that.
I don't want to talk about it. You walked into a tree or
something? I don't want to talk about it.
Well, everyone's gonna see you on the v on the video here and they'll be saying, Well, how did the witch cut his head open?
It's not a cut, it's a scratch. I've got very, very sensitive skin and I've grazed uh something. I ran into a branch and I just grazed my head, so um I wasn't looking where I was going. I was uh I was preoccupied. Well, that's giving me a laugh or something. Well there you go. There you go. So Jimmy, has he got a has he got a point to make here or has he got a tickets is a midday
madness special.
Oh no, but I'm asking you because you and I'd love all players to get in. But we're in a privileged position. You know, we uh you're in the Hall of Fame, which means that you qualify for a couple of grand final tickets if you if you get online at the correct time. I am in that privileged position too, which I qualify for a couple of grand final tickets, which I have taken up the opportunity to, and I think that we'll probably get those. And I don't know about the what the qualifications are for anybody else that's played the game.
Oh I do know if you're in the well you you and I both know if you're in the two hundred club you get allocated a ticket. Now I read that article from Jimmy. He said and this is understandable as well, he said we used to get one sent out to us, like it just would arrive in the mail. Yes, so in the in the modern age you've got to as you and I both have to do, get on and um you know, register.
Yes.
And then they um y then you'll get these sent out via um email. Yes. And you get a QR code and all that sort of stuff. Which for some people You included. No, I can do that now. Oh, you can do that.
How do former AFL players qualify for Grand Final tickets and why is it controversial?
Yeah. Well that can be a challenge. Like Jimmy, you might not I'm not saying this about Jim J. Are you saying
that he's competing?
Well he did say that it's a lot different than than what it used to be. And it is and if you miss the deadline for uh registering and then you don't get it's as simple as that, you don't get a ticket. So you gotta you you gotta follow you we're on email every day 'cause we have to be, 'cause we're still working in that space.
