What was the “Leo Barry moment” and why did the hosts compare it to other plays?
You gave us the Leo Barry moment. I think that was for the Mitch Lewis mark, wasn't it? Yeah. Well, there's another – you could have doubled up on it because the Barras mark, that was – Every bit as good as the Leo Barry one, had that been the one that actually had saved Houghton at the time, but it didn't do that. Hey, boys, I've got a solution. We'll meet in the middle. Suspend Lockie. He did this. He didn't play in the first half of last year's grand final. Suspend him for half a game. He comes on after halftime. What do you think about that as a suggestion?
Well, that is a good... That's a
creative way of looking at it.
Should Lockie be suspended for his half‑game performance and what precedent does that set?
It is.
It's the good news for Brisbane fans because if they're concerned about whether this will affect Lachie Neal, if he gets off and he's able to play, which I suspect is going to happen, don't be. Because there was all the speculation about him playing and would he play? He got up. They sat him on the pine for a half. He came on and nearly won the Norm Smith medal in a half a footy. So it doesn't
matter. If you could measure people's mentality and the way that they see things, there's a lot of shame worn about Lachie Neal, isn't there? No matter what's going on in his life, he appears to be able
to park
that, and when he gets out there in the middle, he just produces.
And people tell you that too. I don't know Lachie very well at all. I only met him a couple of times, but people tell you that. He can compartmentalise as well as anyone. Just goes about it and doesn't affect his footy.
Yeah.
What suggestion did the hosts make about handling player discipline after controversial actions?
Are we done to death talking about the reaction at the end of the game by the Hawthorne fans, or do you want to touch on that as well?
Oh, no.
And all Barras' performance and Sisley's performance.
Well, Sisley apologised last night at the Brownlow Medal. He fessed up and said, yep. And that's what happens, I guess, in the heat of the moment. But he has done it a few times. I reckon I'd put that away if I was James Sisley. Just don't go near the umpires. I particularly didn't like Tom Barras running. aggressively at the umpire. That's a bad look for the
game. That's a terrible look. That is a terrible look. I mean, he pulled himself up in time, but we don't want to be encouraging anybody to do that.
How does Lachie Neal’s mindset and ability to compartmentalise affect his on‑field performance?
And the other thing about Sisley is that, and, you know, like you and I have both spoken to him outside of this, and, you know, he's a really decent person, James Sisley, but... The emotion does get the better of him as the Hawthorne skipper. And even he was ungracious in the way that they even won early in the final series against Fremantle. He couldn't contain his emotions.
He gave Paddy Vos, didn't he? He gave him a gobful on the way past as well. So, no, I think – and we all live and learn. We all can make mistakes. And then you make some adjustments to your behaviours and that's the challenge, I reckon, for James Sisley. Probably Sam Mitchell would say, listen, just maybe give the umpires a wide berth.
The point about Shane Warne is at different times throughout his cricket career, there was a lot going on in Shane Warne's private life and pictures that were circulating about his behaviour, all that sort of stuff. But he was able to just park it and go out there and still perform as a cricketer. And that's, you know, there's been a lot of stuff going on out there with Lockie Neal and what's going on in his private life too. And he seems to have been able to park it all. And then
when he gets
out in the field, he just performs.
Why did James Sisley apologise at the Brownlow Medal ceremony and what does it say about player‑umpire relations?
That's a very good observation. I don't know what you don't understand about that, Khalil, that there's... The point is that once the game started for Shane Warne, once the game of cricket started, then he just zeroed in on it. And it had no impact on his capacity to deliver on the field. And that would be the same as Lachie Neal, how he goes about it.
If somebody came to you today and said, Gary, you were a paid-up ambassador and supporter of the Fremantle Dockers, we know that our contract with you has expired. But just one last gift for us. Can you please sit down with Murphy Reid?
