Chapter 1: What are the Snap Judgments from the weekend's footy?
And that brings us to Jarvis in East Burwood as we hit our Snap Judgements. 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.
Chapter 2: How has Carlton's coaching change impacted their performance?
The only thing that changed, Gerrard, was the voice on the coach's box. Now, the media are asking what's changed at Carlton. I'll tell you what's changed, Gerard. I'll tell you what's changed. Accountability's finally showed up. Because for years, we weren't unlucky. We were undercoached.
And to the Carlton supporters who've been coming at me for years, calling me negative, dramatic, over the top, you weren't watching closely enough. This wasn't a rebuild. It's a reset waiting to happen. While we're here, Gerard, let's keep it real. Charlie Kernow, he's easily the biggest downhill skier in the game, and he should be embarrassed.
He kicked eight goals against Richmond on Saturday, and everyone calls him the best forward in the game. But where's he at when it actually matters? He did the same thing in his Coleman medal years at Carlton, kicking 10 goals twice against West Coast, and then goes missing in finals.
Chapter 3: What are the criticisms of players like Charlie Kernow?
Big bags against bottom four sides. They don't win you flags. They just inflate your reputation, Gerrard. While I'm at it, a quick shout-out to TDK and the Saints listeners. Yep, I told you all on a call last year, be careful what you wish for. He's not worth $1 million, let alone $1.7 million. And please, I call that for Essendon, the board.
I'll point James Hurd as coach so that comedy hour at the hangar can continue for another five years. We all know the definition of insanity, Gerrard. And before I go, a quick personal update for you and all the listeners. I'm heading off to Greece, mate, for 10 weeks. And if history tells us anything, Carlton supporters should be very, very excited.
Because you may recall, Gerrard, you referred just earlier to 2023. I went to Greece for seven weeks mid-season and Carlton came home like a freight train. I'll be back in September, Gerrard, just in time to watch the Blues in finals action. Because Carlton, we haven't found form, Gerrard. We've removed the problem.
And if Carlton make a run again, I'll book in Greece every year and send the club the invoice. Go the baggers. See you then.
Popcorn, anyone? Jarvis, thank you. I thought the four words were you need your stars. The four words were I told you so. Gavin Marucci-Dore, it's a beautiful Monday morning for those of us that have stuck by Cripper and believed in him. I'm so proud of my captain and club. Go Blues. Dom's in Berwood. Hello, Dom.
The blues are back, baby.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the current AFL video review system?
Yeah, I agree with Jarvis on trading those guys out was the best thing we've ever done. We've gained from it. But I think the really big thing is, you know, early in the year, we could play half a game of footy purely on contested ball tactics. We've still got that, but he's led all the other layers.
You know, I mean, you only have to listen to Tony's stats, you know, effective kicks, ball movement.
forward handball everything else and Fraser's done a great job but I think you'll agree with this Gerard I think the last five games will decide if he gets a job 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 and also you know the fact that
you know, we had no young players. Olison, Byrne, Wilson, Flynn Young and Cowan was really good. And even the coaching, like to play Cowan on Jeremy Cameron, even though he kicked four, Wethering played probably his best game for the year. A lot of people have been saying about Cherry, you know, they played him on the wing and that's where he can use his strengths. So he's done a great job and
It's amazing the difference the win makes when you're a supporter. It's just amazing. And being at the ground there, at the end, I mean, it was like the wins in the finals against Sydney and Melbourne, except there was 60,000, not 90,000.
And I think Foxtel are going to be the big winners because there's a heap of Saturday night games that aren't going to be on free-to-air TV, and everyone's going to whinge a lot. I think we play Collingwood, we play Hawthorne, There's some really big Saturday night games that we're not going to be on. But, yeah, and Kripper, I mean, mate. One thing.
If you look at all the Carlton champions, Kernaghan, you know, you go through the lot of them, they were champions surrounded by champions. So if they had an off game, someone else would stand up. Kripper's played 240 games, and I reckon in most of them, he's been the one person who had to perform... And he has just performed just fantastic.
And he has, you know, a couple of bad games and he's finished. But I just love the bloke. Good on you, Dom.
Good on you. It's lovely to hear your snap judgment on a sunnier Monday morning. It might be the start of winter, but the Blues are just coming out of hibernation. Jake's on the road.

Chapter 5: How do fans feel about the performance of their teams this weekend?
Hello, Jake.
G'day, Gerry. How are you? I'm well. On Saturday morning on Crunch Time, you made a sensational comment. You said, the fail safe has failed. I know you were talking about the ARC and the goal review system. I've just got a little comment to make, and then I've got three very short questions for you. In other sports around the world, Gerard, I'm thinking basketball.
When a referee gives a three-pointer, the basketball shoots a three-pointer, they go back and have a look at the line, the guy's foot's on the line, they take a point off the score. It could be a quarter time, could be anywhere through the game. At rugby league, when a try is awarded...
they go to the bunker, they put the four points on the score, and if the bunker sees the try is not there, they take the four points off the score. Even in golf, Gerard, if you make a mistake and a referee sees you make a mistake through the round, you can have scores added to your scorecard at the end of the game.
Why on Friday night did we A, not stop the game to correct that goal for Oli Dempsey? And if it was a goal, which it turned out to be, as you quite rightly pointed out on Saturday morning, if the fail safe has failed, why couldn't they readjust the scores at quarter time to get a true result? Because all we want is the right result, Gerard. So my three questions for you are this, mate.
Who is stuffing this up? How do we change it? And do you think in your lifetime or anyone's lifetime, especially if it was a grand final, would the result be changed at the end of the game? Uh...
Those are long questions. I might just answer it with this, Jake. Whoever's doing these programs in 20 years' time will still be talking about how the technology in sport routinely fails in the hands of humans. And that's why I'm just not a believer. I'm not a believer.
And the sequence of events that led us to what happened on Friday night is Greg Swan put in the provision to specifically correct this. It was horribly misused the first time out by the kids in the arc. It had to be taken away from them so that when it came around, the one that actually needed to be corrected, it was no longer able to be corrected.

Chapter 6: What are the standout performances from the weekend's matches?
Yeah. Like that is catastrophic failure on every level. And it's why I don't believe in it. I don't believe in it in cricket. I don't believe in it in footy. The only sport that has benefited from the intervention of technology has been tennis. And they live the delusion to their credit.
Nobody actually believes that it shows the ball being a millimeter out, but they're all happy to go with the convention. And everywhere else, it is as subjective and murky as ever. So I'll just stay on my side of the fence. I'm a revolutionist, not a traditionalist. But in this instance, the technology fails. It fails the absolute premise over and over and over again. Thanks, Jake.
Jack's in Chanside Park. Welcome, Jack. Morning, Jared. How are you? I'm well, thank you.
Yeah, tooth and nail, Gerard. That was the theme going into this year. And I think five of our seven wins 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 wouldn't mind just holding on to one of these five-goal leads one day. But, I mean, I can't be happier with Salah and I. It was unbelievable.
And, yeah, look, he's a whipping boy of ours, Lockie McNeil. But I think I just want to give him some flowers this morning. That was one of his best performances yesterday. of his career. Um, he puts his body on the line and he, and he just digs in. He, he does as much as he can. Uh, but Ed Richards is back to his best and we are such a different team with Tim English.
Tim English changes everything for us. And I'm so optimistic again, this is very exciting going forward. Um, and Michael Selwood, what a moment, um, could be a career moment for him. He might have many more moments like that, but, um, mid-season draft pick, he's going to be another success story. But, Gerard, you know Marcus Bontempelli is the greatest ever and my favourite player of all time.
But I'll tell you who my second favourite player is right now, Gerard. It's Harley Reid. He is as box office as it gets. I could not stop watching him last night. He's amazing.
That's great, Jack. What a sweep of snap judgments. Got to get the right side of the wild card line. The dog's got to get the right side. Jimmy, Derek, Cameron, David, you are next. The 40 Wings temper text humming away as well. 0433 98 11 16. Find your personalised bedtime solution with our friendly neighbourhood sleep advisors. 40 Wings, serious about sleep.

Chapter 7: How do supporters view the future of their teams after recent wins?
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 for me.
That's great to hear. Jimmy, good on you. Derek's in Adelaide. Derek, fire away. Yeah, g'day.
Your previous call regarding school review was spot on, as was your crunch review on Saturday. That was brilliant. It needs to stop. The AFL needs to stop giving you and the whole media and the fans lip service about school review because I'm an Adelaide supporter, so Keyes comes into it every time. But the Keyes incident of 23... can and will happen again.
I hope it happens in the final to really screw the AFL because the player can actually play on, correct me if I'm wrong, but the defender can play on before the call is made or non-call is made and the app can't review it on the point. Is that correct?
Yes, yes. Once the ball's back in play now, they are powerless to do anything about it.
It's controlling the sequence of events. We're talking about spending millions of dollars on it. and you've got a player that is smarter than the umpire and plays on. Yes. It's ridiculous. And secondly, on a lighter note, the last caller touched on Nick Watson. Is that right? That's right. If you did a quad call, would you find anybody that thought that was going to be called a point? No, no.
Or play on? No, you wouldn't. I was at the sample yesterday. Okay. And fair dinkum, halfway through the quarter, an umpire literally called up play so he could stand behind the player on the mark. Never seen it before. Hope I never see it again.
Yes, that's the problem of the can of worms that's been open there. Good on you, Derek. Thank you. Cameron's in Adelaide as well. Hello, Cameron. Hi, Derek. Fire away.
I just want to say something about your commentary of the Crips, Mark. Just wanted to mention your call of the Cripper marking goal was absolutely fantastic, mate. It lifted the atmosphere in my living room. Putting on the tape and the magnificent man. Now, I explained to my grandson that you barracked the Geelong and your excitement just proves that you're the number one caller in the game.

Chapter 8: What are the expectations for Carlton moving forward this season?
And so every sports administrator comes on the same platform. We're just here to correct the howlers, and that's not what happens at all. And I've seen it in every sport, bar tennis. Oh, and someone wants to have the photo finish camera in racing. That's fine if you want to include that. I'm not quite sure that's like for like, but that's fine. Correct the howlers.
They spend all of their time in the weeds dissecting the minutia and looking for a perfection that's unattainable. So my views are well known on this front. I don't know how many more examples we have to have of where it didn't work. We thought it would work. But it didn't work. And Friday was just the latest in a long chapter.
Six weeks ago, we would have had a system that works, but we couldn't hold the line on that because it was so abused the first time it was used. So there we are. And that's right. Every sport. has levels of discontent with the way they shoehorn technology into sport. And very few can actually claim that it's made them better. Dave from Hamilton. I text SEN Saturday after the Blues win.
I snuck into my 10-year-old son's room early to wake him up to play under 11s and played the Blues theme song. He nearly jumped out of his bed with excitement. He said, did we win? I told you we would. Is Simo going to have to change, have a change of heart on the Blues job? With a big smiling emoji. Rob from Bendigo. Crips, once more into the breach, which was then followed by delusion.
Thy name is Carlton. My problem with the Blues winning, it will cause some issues with the picks to get Cody Walker. I stress that too many wins will make it impossible. That's from Sue. Carlton supporters blaming Voss is really poor. Fraser and Hansen were there. The metrics were pretty good under Voss. It just needed time. That's from Ryan.
That Carlton job is all of a sudden becoming very attractive and a lot of coaches would love that. And when it comes to Carlton, I've seen this movie before. It was the coach, not the list when they sacked Ratton as well. We all saw how that ended. Spoiler alert, Carlton will win when they are not expected to and falter as soon as there's any expectation placed on them. Troy from Cape Willamite.
There's plenty more to come as well in our Snap Judgements and the Monday Means Test with Adam Simpson.
