Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is your town. This is your station. This is Waitley.
Your thoughts at the end of the means test. Never seen a team go four and nine yet still maintain a percentage over 100 before. Pythagorean winds be damned. This is James on Port Adelaide. So nine and four on expected score. Blimey. A win's a win, I suppose, but Gia's ruse was centimetres away from another absolute disgraceful performance.
Surprise the competition and win the next four winnable games? Big George from Seaholm. My snap judgement is the same as last week. The Junt Yard Dogs are their best version. What we saw on Thursday was insipid. What a miserable Thursday night watching the Western Bulldogs take two massive steps back on the hard work of the past month. Absolutely horrific showing. That's from Jack.
Credit where it's due, I thought Uzay coached a young, undermanned side on the weekend and coached well. The team definitely came to play and if it wasn't for a few errant set shots at goal, they were right in the game. And Jasper Elgar continued with his form with seven goals in successive games.
And something that really stands out when you watch both Essendon's VFL side and AFL side and something that Solly has outlined repeatedly in his first couple of press conferences is how poor our ball protection has been and how little we seem to value our disposals. That is from Pat Essendon. And what a weekend on a long-suffering Knicks and Arsenal tragic.
I'm hoping for Carlton to make the top 10. That will complete my trifecta. And Cote d'Ivor has just beaten Ecuador in the World Cup 1-0. It was scored late in the piece and caused quite the celebration. The wisdom and experience of Robert Craddock we rely on every Monday and how rich. He told us last week, don't tell an Australian team they have no chance.
Yesterday was absolutely thrilling with the Socceroos. And I feel to harness the best of it, this is where you need Andy Harper, who's part of our SEN call team with Simon Hill.
My first reaction was to look at Artur Guler, the Turkish champion. As the ref blew full-time, he spat his dummy completely. It's going to take something for Turkey to regroup after this because they weren't expecting it. They talked down the Socceroos the whole week. Their fans thought it was going to be a 3-0 cakewalk.
And now it's men at work beaming through the stadium speakers, as it should be because Australia were magnificent. Guler just made a complete beeline for the dressing room. Didn't congratulate anyone, didn't say anything to anyone. except to turn back to his bench and say something. God knows what, but he wasn't a happy camper. For the Socceroos, it's all smiles. An amazing, amazing result.

Chapter 2: What insights does Robert Craddock provide on the Socceroos' performance?
I mean, when that match ended yesterday, it was a Melbourne Cup style vibe, wasn't it? As in nothing else seemed to matter in the world for about an hour, did it?
I love the back page of the Courier Mail as pop stars, which I feel we'll catch on as the coach is going to be a big figure out of this, having made the bold calls and got his dividends straight away. So, yeah, it was just the most perfect way to start. And I'm a bit with you.
Salute to the 10,000 fans who are there because part of the colour and atmosphere of what we watch relies on fans for each nation and for Australia to be so well-supported. And we've seen this from World Cup to World Cup. And we've heard from so many already this morning, Crash, who are in Germany for that, who are at Qatar last time around. It's a rite of passage for a lot of sports fans.
And to see them march through the streets and to be there in that bay with the team posing in front of them, that's everything that we know about World Cup. So salute to all.
It is. And Gerard, I wish Australia owned that great song, It's Coming Home, that is the anthem for the England World Cup. Because If ever I've got a day where I'm feeling a bit down, I put that on my phone on my way to work, and it's a real pump-the-table song. And I urge people to do the same. If you have a day and you're struggling, Google this. It's coming home.
And the old England World Cup anthem, it's full of, it just gets you going. And I swear you'll be right for the day.
All right. So the Socceroos are off on the right foots.
