Chapter 1: What emotional themes are explored in the discussion?

2.731 - 23.573 Garry Lyon

Loving the show this morning. There is emotion and passion in this world. We're going to move on to some other footy topics, but when there's the opportunity to throw the lines open, you can take it wherever you want to go. There's an appetite for the James Heard situation, like I haven't seen for a long, long time, Tim Watson, but there's also 17 other clubs that we need to get to at some point.

23.593 - 34.367 Tim Watson

No, we need to move on. No, we need to move on. That is a story that's, you know, until such time as Essendon announce what they're going to do in terms of a process or whatever they're going to do, and I think that they've done the right thing.

34.948 - 51.909 Tim Watson

My final thing on that would be that I thought that the right thing to do would just be to make sure that they're not making any public utterances for a period of time, and they decide at a board level what it is their approach is going to be going forward, and then they announce it to everybody, which will probably happen around the bye, I would have thought, the bye for Essendon.

51.93 - 82.982 Garry Lyon

Sure, sure. I didn't get Isaac any in the votes yesterday. Why not? 46 players by nine games, 360, 54, it's about 400 players. Well, I've only got five lots of votes to give. So I have to take into account who's playing who. These are things, and it's my award, by the way. So it's what appeals to me, not what appeals to Pete from Nary Warren on this particular weekend.

83.042 - 93.559 Garry Lyon

By the way, Isaac Heaney's in the top three. So he has been appealing to me all year. He's had a fantastic year. But I didn't rate Charlie Cuno's eight goals, for instance, against Richmond because they're playing Richmond.

93.84 - 112.523 Garry Lyon

So I look at the opposition and the instances and then some of my personal preferences, which, you know, I rated forward performances on the weekend higher than I did, you know, someone getting big bags against a lowly Richmond who didn't put up. In fact, it was one of the poor performances of the year, Richmond. The resistance was almost negligible.

112.84 - 122.976 Tim Watson

Okay, so you break it down in the coaches' votes. Tracy got nine, Amos got nine for Fremantle. You gave the five votes to Amos at the weekend?

122.996 - 126.983 Garry Lyon

No, no, Paddy Cripps, Jack Gunston, Joy Amos, Finn Callaghan and Ed Richards.

127.684 - 134.034 Tim Watson

Okay, so when you broke down the difference between the Tracy performance and the Amos performance, what was it that caught your eye about Amos?

Chapter 2: Why did Garry choose not to give Isaac Heeney votes?

185.825 - 202.011 Tim Watson

Just quickly, they're the premiership favourites right now, and they should be. And the role that Andrew Brayshaw is playing is a great selfless role and is on the players. It's on the back of players that do what he's currently doing as to why teams ultimately have the success.

201.991 - 219.392 Garry Lyon

That could be the best thing you've said all year. We'll flush that out on the other side. And here, lines are open. 1-300-736-736. You can talk about Frio. You can talk about Brisbane, Western Bulldog. Anything you want. You can talk about Essendon and James Heard. Whatever you want. On the other side of the break. 1-300-736-736.
