What is the opening debate about the impact of Wharfie Time on the Grand Final?
The big issue. Was it the most extraordinary four minutes ever?
Well, it's just because it's this it's all or nothing. So we can debate the the prelim. That was one of the greatest games. But this this one's this is the full stop in in the sentence. So um Yeah, that bloody wolfy time. I I the debate will rage whether They're trying to say, Freeman, I I think I'm just trying to picture what what would I be saying if this happened to me and You got one team saying, Oh, look, well no, they had nothing to do with it.
How do the hosts compare the Wharfie Time controversy to the Michael Jordan debate?
They just overran us and they were too good. They're great side. And then you got the other side going, Absolutely it it mattered. We spoke about it. We planned for it. This was on the cards. This was a trigger. So well what do you say now if you're free man or no, no, no, I still don't think they really it it inspired anything. It wasn't well, what do you say, Jared? I I think you you snook it. You are
snooked.
Why do the speakers argue that Wharfie Time should only be used when a team is trailing?
Yeah. This is the Michael Jordan debate. It doesn't matter what you say. It's w how did it occur to to me? And it occurred to Brisbane. This this but in the multiverse where hell's bells doesn't signal, do Brisbane steal themselves in that moment in such a way it's it's gonna be the pub debate that lasts forever. But they were given a stimulus that they they had spoken about. Yeah. And they all looked at each other and went, right, right, unleash hell.
They got they got it wrong. They got it wrong.
What lessons do they share about planning a song activation for crowd engagement?
The Wolfie time's not for when we're winning. It's for when we're coming back from a deficit. And for for whatever reason, the last and they only played it a couple of times and it I I don't think JL was a big fan of it in the first place, but it was a fan engagement thing and got nothing to do with us. You know, that sort of But it went from being, hey, we we're playing Hawthorne, we're five goals down, we've kicked two in a row, Warfy time activated, we're at home, th let's go to Oh, well we're in front by enough, let's play it. And and whatever the measurements or the requirements to play the song Grand Final Day, don't worry, don't play it. If it's not uh we're gonna be five goals down and we're on our way back, don't be play it's not a celebration song.
It's it's meant to inspire. So Yeah, that's dead.
How does the discussion connect song choice to overcoming Grand Final loss trauma?
That's done. That that's that's football trauma at its absolute worst. So uh the only and we said this back in fifteen, the only way you get over a grand final loss, the only way, Jared, and you never really get over it, is to win one. And that is gotta be their mission now. Um but yeah. What Somehow connecting it to a song. Got a masterclass from from Brisbane to, you know, um to use it the best uh activation for the crowd against you. Yep. Um So that took a little bit of planning.
Why do the hosts feel personally offended by the concept of Wharfie Time?
So this wasn't a spontaneous thing. So I know J O did mention, Oh well we don't you know, the the country road song doesn't get us going, but if you planted it might. If you if you on Thursday you play Country Road at training and go, listen, when you hear this song, we're responding. That that's a clearance for us in the middle. Yep. That type of talk. So uh just um I can't believe we're talking about Wolfie time. I c I can't believe we're talking about it. The coaching you is so offended by the idea. I'm I'm offended. Yeah. I know. I can tell. Physically offended.
