Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Sounding Board Podcast with Hutchie and Damo. Thanks to DrinkWise. You won't miss a moment if you DrinkWise.
Hello and welcome to the Sounding Board Scorecard for DrinkWise. You won't miss a moment if you DrinkWise. My name's Sam Watson and I've got eight statements for Hutchie and Damo to rate out of ten. Introducing a mid-season tournament would be a terrible decision by the AFL. Let me guess what you're going to do, Hutchie. You'll do zero and I'll give it an eight. Correct.
instead of fines the AFL should make players do some form of community service to grassroots footy as punishment for on-field indiscretions hmm I don't mind that. Seven. Five. Pauline Hanson will open the door for Australia's next major right-wing populist, but she won't be the one who ultimately walks through it. He's venturing into at least political jane zones here, Hutchie. Eight.
Eight, yeah. I'm going to give that an eight too. It's a very political scorecard today. Sorry, boys. Now that Lionel Messi stands alone as the World Cup's all-time leading goal scorer, the GOAT debate in football should be over.
Chapter 2: What do Hutchy and Damo think about a mid-season tournament in the AFL?
Probably a different type of politics, though. I'd imagine doubly. Six.
Seven.
Rockstar Games confirmed pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will be available this week. It will be the single most commercially successful entertainment product released in the 2020s. Six. Seven. Bit of audio from Labor MP Sarah Connolly on Channel 7 here. Is there going to be a challenge today?
No.
What makes you so sure?

Chapter 3: What is the significance of community service as a punishment in the AFL?
The Premier has our full support. She has my support.
Is she the best person given the polls?
Absolutely.
Thank you. It's okay for our politicians to use swear words every now and then. Two. Six. In an era where politicians struggle to connect, New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's speech at the Knicks championship parade showed that speaking sport fluently might be as important as speaking policy. Nine. I'll take your word for it. Eight.
And lastly, the UK's political instability has become so normalised that the prospect of a seventh different leader in less than a decade barely raises eyebrows anymore.
That is true, because I'll start commenting here, because it's the last statement made there by W. It didn't even have an adversary or any form of significant reaction when Keir Starmer decided to stand down as of Monday night, or at least announced that resignation, as of Monday night Australian time. It's just, what is going on there, Hutchie? Nine. And Mamdani was good?
Well, his speech, whether you're a fan or not a fan, I don't know anyone who couldn't have been a fan. It was beautifully written, his nod to Nick's history and the journey and what it meant. It was amazing the way he articulated it. I thought that was one of the great political... I might go back and have a look at it. And particularly given how bad people normally are at it, right?
Yeah, Andy Burnham, is it, who's going to be the mayor of Manchester, who's going to be pitchforked in? Yep. That's... Amazing that in two years he's gone from a massive vote to being out. I suspect you're right on Grand Theft Auto, but I don't know enough about it, so left myself a bit of room in the six.
What else was there? You're an expert enough on soccer, now you've been to a couple of matches, Hutchie, over there in the States, that you would be able to answer the Lionel Messi statement with authority?

Chapter 4: Is Lionel Messi the greatest of all time in football?
Was that six World Cups or five World Cups?
I reckon it might be six.
I'll double-check that. It's amazing. I'm already saying, is he 38? Yeah. Yeah, 38, yeah. And still scoring goals. Even today, I think it was overnight, he scored a couple here in overnight Australian time. Yeah, I didn't mind the statement about Pauline Hanson. She's got some traction, but I just can't see her actually being the one who actually is the leader when it's all said and done.
She's at the table, yeah.
Yeah. I didn't mind the community service element to the AFL fines, or instead of AFL fines, just to sort of make sure that they are out and about and it might make them more have cause for pause for think. Some nice work by the W today. It was. As it was you, Hutchie, over there in the States on the scorecard. For the standing board for Drinkwise, you won't miss a moment if you Drinkwise.
