Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm Gerard Waitley. Here's a snapshot of Monday, June 1. Your snap judgments from round 12 of the AFL season.
Chapter 2: What are the snap judgments from round 12 of the AFL season?
Jarvis, welcome.
Good morning, Gerard. I'm up and about, mate, because I've been waiting three years to say this. I told you so. Not hinted at, not suggested it, told you and all the listeners.
Three weeks ago at Carlton, we sacked Michael Voss, and suddenly the broken list everyone was talking about has won three straight, capped off by knocking off your DeLong, your DeLong, a premiership favourite on Friday night. Funny that, Gerrard. It turns out the players, they can run. The players, they can defend. And it turns out they can actually play four quarters of football.
The only thing that changed, Gerrard, was the voice on the coach's box. Dom's in Berwyn. Hello, Dom. The boys are back, baby. I think the last five games will decide if he gets a job.
Chapter 3: How did Carlton's coaching change impact their recent performance?
We play the Suns, the Lions, the Saints, the Dogs and Frio all at Marvel. So if he wins three or four of those, I think he's,
i think he's going to be the favorite to um to get the job jackson chanside park welcome jack yeah tooth and nail jared that was the theme going into this year and uh i think five of our seven wins uh under 10 points and we're just managing to win the close ones but we're in positions where they don't have to be so i just yeah i just i wouldn't mind just holding on to uh one of these five goal leads one day but i mean i can't can't be happier with so and i was unbelievable and
And, yeah, look, he's a whipping boy of ours, Lachie McNeil, but I think I just want to give him some flowers this morning. That was one of his best performances. Jimmy's in Aspendale. Welcome, Jimmy. Yeah, just want to talk about Nick Watson and how exciting it is watching him live.
You know, the agility is just remarkable and the way he bounces up off the ground and he's assisting, he's handballing and he's goalkeeping as well. has really improved. It's a bit like I thought Surioli was, you know, one of the best small forwards I've ever seen, and I think the old wizard is taking the mantle.
Adam Simpson debated the merits of Collingwood on the means test.
And I think they're trying their backsides off too. It's not like they're just dialing it in and good players aren't playing well. I think Fly's getting the best out of this group, which is the worry. And they've got a few injuries, so there's always that caveat in the background and how you deal with that, but...
You know, what are they going to be in two years is something that you think about now if you're back office list management. Where are we going to be in two years? Because right now, you can't say that they're going to be pushing for, you know, top six this year. So what does it look like in the longer term? What are they going to do with some of their senior players?
All those type of conversation is the back office conversation. It's funny when you're a senior coach, you've got to separate yourself from winning this week to a list. You've got to go to a list management meeting. And they go, look, we're thinking...

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the upcoming matches for Carlton's coaching staff?
So and so should probably, you know, we should probably move him on and we'll get him and we're looking at him. And so what's their five-year plan, Gerard? And what's the plan this year to be competitive and try and win every week? I think, I don't think their best, their best is so spirited. Like I think he's coached really well in the last month, the Sydney game, the strategy.
So there's still terrible clearances. It's just, you can't be 18th at something. and think you're going to be competitive in finals, especially something as big as clearances. So, yeah, they got touched up on the weekend around that area in particular. They came pretty good in the last quarter.
Yeah, they were going to get beaten by eight goals at one stage. And there they were, you know, a Michael Selwood mark away from having a shot to win it.
Yeah, and then the question is, why can't they play like that all the time? I hear that a lot. And I reckon he would have said that to them. Boys, why don't we do that at the start of the game next week? Let's play in a way... that really throws caution to the wind. But it's hard to do when you're a player and just to be brave and risk making mistakes. I don't know.
There's just something in our psyche that you don't want to look like an idiot. At the start of a game where you think, oh, he's not going for that. Everyone's too switched on. And if I turn that over, you just can't stop thinking like that sometimes. But out of all the coaches, he's probably the one that goes, no, make a mistake or I'm going to drop you. That type of mindset.
I think that's how I feel when, if I was playing under fly. So getting the best out of the group's not the issue. It's how good's the group. That's probably where I sit with that. Jordan Ngoi was outstanding. Yeah. Well, there's another one. I mean, he's, he's, he's, he's tracking to have a really good year. He's starting to really grow now as a player, but who's coming with him?
Who's the A graders outside of Dacos? There's a few others there, but where's side bottom at? Where's Pendlebury at for next year? These are serious questions where you can say we're just going to let the player decide because we'll back in just too much of a champion, but we're going to have to have some conversations.
And Simmo addressed the questions around his involvement in the Carlton coaching process.
If you have to talk about me, Gerard, I'm not really not interested in coaching at the moment. In the short to medium and possibly long term, if I have made that clear, that's where I sit at the moment. So I was never going to be putting my hand up for a position for Essendon. And once I made that decision around the Carlton piece, it was like, nah.
