Not too loud there, fingers. Not too loud, please. It's been a big night. Just turn it down a bit. That's better. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the show. 10th of June. It is a Wednesday. My cafe menu, Tom Green, Andrew Russell, Mitch Owens, and hopefully one of the Hall of Famers. Big night last night. Whispers, how are you feeling? Can you pull it back a bit?
LAUGHTER
Oh, dear me. It is great to be here. It is great to be here. It's the 10th of June and we had a great night last night at the AFL Hall of Fame and the new inductees going in with Magnificent and some great storytelling. And we didn't have a big night, did we, Whispers? No, we didn't. We were out there by just after 11 o'clock, but it does throw you out of whack.
It does throw you out a little bit of whack. Good morning to you. It was a dry night, apparently, too. I didn't realise that they'd banned alcohol at the Hall of Fame dinner. What do you mean? Well, I didn't see anybody come by me with a bottle of wine for the whole night.
You were seated in, you were in a little pocket there. What a lady, a beautiful... Not one glass of wine. You kept coming over. What you've got to do is you've got to slip them a fitty as soon as the function starts, and then away you go.
Oh, is that what you did, is it? Then you clearly didn't. Well, I couldn't even see you across the other side of the table. I reckon I got there. I had the worst seat at the table because for some reason. Well, I think people had shuffled. I think the chief had shuffled the cards and put me so that my back was to the stage. Oh, you were. You did have your back to the stage.

Chapter 2: What happened at the AFL Hall of Fame last night?
You were. Great night, though. I loved it. It was a great, great night. Great night. So if you're just waking up this morning and you don't know, the Hall of Fame inductees, there was a new legend go in, Billy Walker. Great man. Told some funny, funny stories. What a player. Four-time Sandover medalist. Yep. And then you've got names that you'd be, oh, well, David Cantilla you might not be.
So there's a big ruckman that came down from St. Mary's up in the Territory and played for South Adelaide. Tim Evans from over there in, he played for South Adelaide too. South Australia. Tim Evans. They played for Port. Oh, no, he did too, yeah. So he was a ruckman who ended up playing full forward, kicked over 1,000 goals. He looked like a star.
And then the names you'd be more familiar with, Gary Abbott Jr., Johnny Wusha Warsfold, Dustin Fletcher, and umpire Hayden Kennedy. So they were all going into the Hall of Fame there. Yep, what a night.
What a night. What a night it was. And what was the overriding – you know when you sit there and you're listening to people talk about the game, what is the overriding emotion that you feel?
Well, I got a sense that people will remain pretty happy with the way footy's being played. I mean, you can get into the umpires and you can get into all that sort of stuff. But I didn't talk too much about the overall state of it, apart from Swanee, who was with us on... No, no, no.
I mean the people inducted. When they're inducted, the feeling you get from them about the game.
What is it? Just appreciation and gratitude for having had the opportunity. Isn't it? It is.
Overwhelming. And it's also, it's that love of the game. And it was beautiful to listen to Bill talk last night about his story and starting in country WA and, you know, mum and dad. And it's always that connection. There's always somebody, like the family story is always an interesting story for me because, you know, it's either mum or it's dad or it's both or it's,
Some other member of the family introduced them to the game. They fall in love with the game and then they get that support along the way. And something that people never forget.

Chapter 3: What did Dustin Fletcher share about his experience?
No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. We got a lot of work done. I didn't want to talk to you while I was in the car. And then you started whinging about how hungry you were because you didn't get enough to eat last night.
I don't really want to whinge about that because it was a great night, but I wouldn't have minded a little bit. I think I got the smallest piece of, was it filet mignon or? Eye fillet. Eye fillet or whatever it was going. Anyway, my tummy's rumbling this morning. And then I was about to gnaw into a little bit of dessert. They brought out all these nice little sort of finicky little things.
Little cakes. And I looked around for my dessert plate and they'd taken it. Well, the chief, did the chief pinch your plate? I don't know. He did or not? He moved down a couple of those little cakes, did he? I don't think he did. He was on the waters last night, the chief too. Yeah. He was probably getting the same service from the waiter that I was getting.
It would have been nice if they had to come by at least once when I bought the wine and said, sir, would you like a white or a red?
No, you were in the wrong corner because I got great service. You also had one of your career highlights last night, I would have thought.
I was on G60 last night. In your debut. It was tight. I know.
I was sort of thinking. You got squeezed by Swanee.
I think you took a couple of your minutes. Well, you said to me that, wait, watch this, Wes. By the time Swanee leaves here, he'll be crying.
He'll be sobbing.

Chapter 4: How did Tim Watson feel about the Hall of Fame dinner?
So there wasn't a lot of time to get around. But I caught up with a couple of people. I caught up with Terry Danaher, who obviously was there and is going to be part of the service today, the Neil Danaher service today.
State funeral today at 1 o'clock, yep.
Big Nick. I saw Big Nick. I saw KB. Everybody was there. Everybody was in the room. Kelvin Templeton, I saw Kelvin Templeton. Kelvin Moore was on our table too. What a fine, he was a fine quarterback. And the Jumbo Prince. And he was there as well. Rick Davies. Rick Davies. He's a big personality, big character.
He's a legend, yeah. I got there late because of my hosting duties. Oh, he gave me a cook too. Who? About time you got here, he said. That was the first thing he said to me. Did he? Yeah. That's a bit rude. No, I think he was keen for a couple of ales.
I think he was two or three or four in by the time I got to him. He was having a nice old time. He was having a nice old time. And as I mentioned, I thought Three Peace had the – I thought he might have been on table one, such is his power and influence.
He was in the head table.
That was table two. That was table two head table. Oh, no. He had table 1A in terms of the positioning. No, his positioning was better. Right in front. His positioning was better, but the number on the table said number two, so he had the number two down the list type heavyweights, and the number one heavyweights, they were to our right. That's where Andrew Dillon and Craig Drummond and all that
And some other heavy hitters from Channel 7. I don't know the heavy hitters from Fox. Were they on table one, two? Who was the big heavy hitter there? Mick Neal I saw there.
Oh, okay. Mick Neal was there. What's he do? He's a heavy hitter. What sort of a heavy hitter? Heavy hitter. HH. He's a heavy hitter. What I did, I had a look when you were on air. I turned around and I saw him taking notes. Right. So I think it might have been an on-air, not interview, an on-air. Audition. Audition by you last night.
