Say yes, IDD to going out after the game. Unlock your warehouse's potential with the latest innovations from Dexian. Switch to a Kogan Mobile Low Price Phone Plan. Kogan.com. Click and Awesome. Kane and King. There are... Ballers absolutely everywhere. 601 on the dot they got up early. Already... So many more than what's the sanding board that one time. We're gonna have all ready at 601 and they're packing out the joint. Of course, welcome to Fireball. We are here from the Pullman East Melbourne. Be close to the game. Glenn has already got us our coffees with a huge morning ahead of the NFL action. The 49 is taking on the Rams. Of course, the Comish. The Comish is gonna join us Roger Gidele, Stami Edmund. Patrick Willis, the NFL Hall of Famer. And the best analyst in football is alongside him. I'm not sure the best analyst in the NFL game, but certainly in football is with me as we're just having some audio issues.

Which is good. King, come on. Awesome. Awesome. Morning, everybody. Thanks for coming. Lads, good to see you. The boys are in good form at the front here. Get your hands off my penis off the top, which is always nice. Yeah. All right. Manchester's feel at home. No, no. I'm saying some fraudulent things in my life, but nothing more fraudulent than you being on the boundary line for the NFL coverage today. Hands on me. I'm going to that. So can you just explain everything? What you're actually doing. You're the buzz go on the boundary best seated in the house. The hot man. So you're the boundary rider effectively. Well, Zander's the official bad. You're the you're the you're the second banana on the sub boundary. Well, we're going to cut the challenges for you today. I think you have to pretend you're almost American to get to get this through. So I want you to drop a couple of words. I want you to drop a y'all in there. Hey, y'all. Yeah, off the top. Hey, y'all. King Corn's here. Australia. Millborne.

If you can't do something like that for us. Up top. Top of different. No problem at all. How's your week been? I've had a strange week. So last year I got me passport knocked off and the kids got their part. That's right. Passport stolen identity. That was a drama. On Monday night. Someone knocked off the front and back number played at my car. Why? The yellow ring would listen, which is which is all. Has anyone had their number plates knocked off in the crowd? Has anyone knocked off someone's number plate? Probably more of a tent. Actually, look at it here. It's a disaster. What would they do that? Well, they don't put it on the stolen cars. And they go and cause havoc with my number plates. Even the tracks back to me. It's a dead set by in the ass. So I've had to go and get back out to Ringwood. This is where I was. I don't ringwood. This is where I was. They get out to them. Danny Heffan. So they've had to order new plates, nothing. So we start tracking the plates. Now the plates have been sent at the front on top of the town. They've been sent the front of kittens for days.

So we've got the plates back but we lost Danny Heffan and for three days. That's your week. That's been a lot of week. I can't afford to afford to afford to be able to afford to be able to afford to be on the exit Falcon. Which we're going to get parked here, grandfather. We're going to get to Relic. I will just shut the scene here because there's ballers in there in FLGers. He's everywhere and they look like they're ready to have a big, big day. So shout out to everyone. You can make some noise. On your boys. Thanks for coming to our audience. So real pleasure for you to be here and turn out of the pool when the crowd will grow as the morning. I've had five amazes. What's on the bar opens, which is a concern. You've had some signs made for you. Yeah, I was sucky looking at you. Bit of a hint of my put with your head on that. So that is good. Hey, what's it get through this morning? I don't know why, but the other day I was watching YouTube and I was watching hang on. You said YouTube. I said YouTube. I was watching the Trady's podcast.

Yeah. So it's checking with my boys Scootie Doe and Mitch Cleary. And we're going to post this to our FIBLE Instagram account and our stories. Give us a follow there. Does Sam McCleur, Scootie Doe, does Sam McCleur deliberately leave his keys in view so that everyone knows that he drives the Porsche? Surely, surely not. He doesn't do that. So I'm looking and they go to the wide shop on YouTube and I see there's a set of keys with a Porsche key tag right in front of Scoot McCleur. Is that behavior that is acceptable or not? Well, has he done that deliberately? You've seen the picture. I've seen the picture, but I don't know if you can sign off a delivery. I'd like to look at a previous one or two episodes just to make sure it's not prime time. Well, Triple Agent thought it was certainly deliberate. He's probably getting around with my plates on the front and back of him. That's what's probably happening. You reckon he does it on purpose? I think he does. We'll put it to our Instagram account.

Can we put a vote up to Triple Agent? That's all Australian worthy. Is he done? All Australian worthy? Yeah, the ball Australian team, Jetton. He's a team. No, it's just woodloy to welcome Brayden Pruss into the team for headbutting his team manager. We needed a rugby. We needed a rugby. Hard to find a good rugby. I needed it though. Hard to find. Prussie, I'd just like to welcome him into the team. We won't go through the lineup today. No. It's had some mixed feedback. Did you hear the ex-chief of the league? Gilmah Glockland yesterday? I heard this. I think it was some sort of NFL launch. I'm not sure exactly where it was, but this is the guy that ran the comp for the best part of a decade. They asked him for his grand final teams and who he thinks will win it. And he said Brisbane will play the Hawks and Brisbane will get it done. It's going to be hard. It's going to be hard. Because Brisbane won this week, they'll play the Hawks and a pre-lead. So I don't know how the hell he's caught that up. But this is what Wildcard round has done.

It's stuffed the whole thing up. The league president doesn't even know what's going on anymore. Show of hands, are we with King E for Wildcard? Are those with King E? Think it's the Waste of Time? Yes, he's smart. Those with the Volcano that think it kept the blue season alive. Yeah, that's about 50-50. They look like all blues fans. Yeah. Have a look at you. You should be ashamed of yourself. What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? Triple agent in the ad breaks? Oh, and that's not even an official jumper. What the hell are you doing, man? That's a warm-up sort of set up. It's a look at the cool. What is it? Hey? From the US. The US has got a ball out of it. He's lying to us. He's talking shit that boat. If anyone gets their ballers hat spotted on the coverage of the NFL today prize. Oh, yeah. Of course. We'll be back here. I've got a room up here. We'll be back here. I've got a room up here. We'll be back later on. Level 9-8. There's a better room than level 9-8. Oh, no. I need a chat to go in about level 9-8. No, we've had a chat. We've had a chat.

It's not... This is a great sponsor for us. They've looked after some of these great people. So there's no slide on the screen. The first thing I ever walked into was he knew and remembered my coffee order. The ice-long black. And so it wasn't just the ice-long black. Yeah, the extra cold milk on the sides. There's service here. There's service here. There's service here. He's amazing. Whatever happens just order in a hot flat white. Whatever, I'm right. You've been on social media this morning? Yeah. Recording a video? Yeah. Have you put in both of them, Sammy? We've got to put the camera and the link up as well. I've never seen a man beheaded like you beheaded. A little years ago on the footy show when he didn't have an opinion for ten years. And then he gave three out on you in a short space of time. So he thought you'd clip him. Well, he's put another one, he's put another post out over night, promoting some sort of grand final leave function. But he sort of cut the vision wrong. And you're going to see the top of his head. So we've re-badged it and gone down. So you'll have a little...

We've done our own version of that. And we'll look at that. Check that out on our farble story. Very good for you. Now, we need to address some housekeeping. Yeah. Because we know that the triple agent here rigged the raffle. But he's local footy club. I can't say that because there's people listening. To win a car. So this is serious stuff. This keeps his straight face. He's part of the car himself. He's just used to it. So his local footy team goes in the raffle, wins a car. Kill kind of bass. There's a couple of boys here from Kill kind of bass. We've got another situation during the week. We've got another situation where you believe Turkey Tom. What's he doing? Well, just have a listen to the prize. Was it his local daycare? And his local daycare where the young fella goes. And listen to who won the prize. Hello, we're Guardian Daddy's. We are going to pick the winner for the men's face show for father's size.

So let's see who's going to be the lucky daddy going to be the winner. Let's see. And the winner is... Tom, Archie Moore's dad. Tom Morris wins the facial. And he's child care. He's child's child care. And he won the facial turkey dump. Fresh hair, fresh teeth. You temper mattress. And he's rigged a raffle to win the facial. I could not believe it, King. Oh man. Is that a control, I mean? My daycare. It's the most expensive thing in your life, don't you? You want to get more than a facial. How would you know? Take it. It's been a while. It's been a while. Yeah, but it is. I'm aware of the challenges that people are having bringing up here. It's yours. Not on your sort of cash. Not all of us are on that sort of cash. I mean, Manning's here. 18 from the Broncos. Yes. Yes.

Yes. He's not really that interested in your car. He's a nice... Far up son. He was just... He was in and he's mates. So in the out-braved trip, we got a roving mic here today, all along. Yeah, we're going to have a bit of fun with these legs. We might just test the water during the ad break first. Now... Last year we had a couple of issues. A couple of F-bombs got dropped really early at the piece. Rock management, didn't it? What sort of reception will level five get if and when they turn up today? They weren't wrapped with the booing last year. They really upset them to be honest. Is there friends? They're pleased to hear. They're my plates. Seriously, they are my plates. It's bollusk. It is awkward going to the cup shop I can tell you. Yeah, it's everyone got tickets to the game. It's everyone got tickets. It's everyone got tickets. No tickets. Okay. Well, just stick around. Stick around. We may and I've spoken to... You got some? Well, I don't. But I've spoken to the top of the tree. Level five and a half.

Really? And word reaches me that we may be giving away the last tickets to the NFL game here this morning. Wow. So we might do... You know that new sport that's taken off that where they both just started. What's a call? Yeah, what's a call that I just charge at each other. No, I want the... Have you seen them on the camera? No, no, no, that'll be fine. There's plenty of room. The one where they slap each other on the front. Oh, the slap. Yeah, because they've got the barrels that'll be perfect. I reckon you're in trouble, mate. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, man, Nimsi. I love Nimsi. Yeah. And it's not not you today, but you'll be here grandfather. He did a lot of read during the week that you have to heed to believe. Just have a little list of this. Jim is prickly cactus farm. Your life would suck without Jim. Little nipples. Yes. Big nipples. I'm ready. Jim is prickly cactus farm. 20% off all succulents online. Use promo code. And he sucks at checkout. Arriba!

Is that all Jim? That's good. We will take money from anyone. Oh, if I could get Jared Wattley to read that, I'd tell you, I'd pay good off. Little nipples. Yes, big nipples. I'm ready. What was it there for dodging, Sammy? Do you know? Oh, I love when Sammy just leaves me. He's behind, drooling. No, no, I didn't. That's all good. We are scrambling for Ringwood Nissen and Ringwood MG. Is that your... Is that your... Yeah, they're my men. They're my pe... They're on board now. On board? They always been on board. Well, we had some challenges early. Ah, the best deal. I filled with diesel with unleaded misuse car from then that didn't go well. And I speed the next one in the back of a cab when things weren't going real well. How's the problem? Now, your man, our man, safe space. Yeah. He's out of control. You know, months ago, now I can't really talk, because I'm hot-guarded on the side of my car today, but I did mention those that are just going to weasel their way into the NFL company. He's an NFL guy, mate.

He's the last 15 tweets of being NFL. Yesterday, I saw him in a quarterback's kit. He had the shoulder pads on, he had the elbow on, he was telling me how the quarterback gets protected. Do you think he has been the biggest culprit of the NFL craze here? I'm proud of him. I'm proud of him. He's a tragic enemy. He's coming. Yeah, he's dropping by, Ralphie. Are you coming? Yeah, to the gun heavy, yep. Yeah. I'll be up top. So you're not heading to Perth? No, got a bit on. I've got a bit on over here. A little bit on. Now we've got our Friday night crew tonight and out. We've got a crew. Uh, Jared. Jared, Jared. Because the Friday night crew is Jared Hado, yeah. Yeah, things get mixed up at this stage there. So there you go. Hey, hey, hey. Fartles time. Your usual Fox-footie or KO-footie crew. You're telling me the usual Fox-footie or KO-footie crew you're telling me. The usual KO crew will not be there on a Friday night. See, this is what happens. Channel 7. I got out of it. Straight answer. Channel 7 to three games a weekend, right?

And not well. We'll have to do nine. At least we got it. And then the crunch start. So you've got all these people that have put into two games. So you've got to mix it up a little bit. So, Jared's not going to be there. Jared's calling over here. For us. Right. Is it for us? Yeah, yeah. Hey, JK got bumped for Jared. Remember we talked about this. Yeah. JK does the whole year of NFL. And then when the big game comes, come around, he gets the arts and Jared comes in. It's what happens. No Friday night action. No, no. Here we do it tomorrow. I think he's doing set day at night. Where are you going this weekend? To Brisbane. Hey, yeah. Tomorrow. Yep. That'll be good. Yep. All right. We're up and running. We're scrambling through for five all life. For the poor. When what do you love? No, nothing. Well, you just get today right first, right? There's nothing more fraudulent than you doing the end. You've been hanging here in Ralphies for six months. And then all of a sudden you found yourself on the boundary. Call the sport you got no idea of it. That's the best scene in the house. I'll be listening. I will be listening intently for a balls up.

If you get something wrong today, we'll be right. Deadly going around the world. D.D. takes you out. SCN says yes to go and get after the game with D.D. Cheap trips so you can do more. So the last tickets we are led to believe here to give away this morning when it's going to be a great victory to the commissioner, Roger Gidele. We're going to speak to the former 49ers. And well, he's a pro football player. If I am a Patrick Willis, it's going to be honest if you don't mind. The news was Sammy Ebblin. Before we get the commission. Yeah. Are you aware of the salary structure? How that works? With the commission. Yeah. 65. He was on 60 mil. And then now they don't let you know what he's on. It's undisclosed. Right. Imagine having a salary that's undisclosed. They used to do that with Gille for a while. They're undisclosed. No, they revealed what he earned and then they don't do that anymore. No, well he's just gone to Nick. I'm not on the news level. We're not even telling people. Here's a solid. He's a solid. Hey, we're up and running. Lots of ballers here from the Pullman. Glenny's in phone, four big show to come.

If you want to get involved, you can. 137, 367, 36. Got some amazing dumb showers and in fact four lots of dumb showers and on the other side of the show. It's a good stuff here. One let us know as well. We'll get back to more fireball from the Pullman next. Say yes, IDD to going out after the game. Unlock your warehouses potential with the latest innovations from Dexian. Switch to a Cogan mobile low price phone plan. Cogan.com. Click an awesome. Kane and King. Fireball. And now it's time for dumb ****. I heard this week. Say that again. Say that again. We've found it. Come increasing pressure and last week the countdown was those people and players and coaches under the most pressure heading into the finals. I wanted to revisit it and see who responded, see who could cope with the pressure. Let's start with this David King.

He's safe. Coden out. He keeps his job. We're on to you. King, you're great. You're on fireball on Friday. You're back. You're safe. You survived. I tell you what he's fine and new ways to promote fireball. I believe it will work. Yeah, you can set me a challenge. I did. Because actually I'm so proud of Epstein, Jackie Epstein. Which I was already in the... I read in the Harold Sun when we asked Tom about the exchange of table walker on Monday. Her initial write-up set on SCN. And that was what I read first. But then I refreshed and she had quickly changed into fireball. There you go. That's growth. We are not SCN. We are... We are fireball. And I haven't really put Jackie and growth together often. So I was so proud of Jackie who's on fire at the moment. This is her time of the year. And the other one... Cool. Yep. That's good. You're one job. We're just... We're just getting things sorted here. So dumb shars in as well.

If you've got something for us over $3.90, $11.16. I want to get to this from... I want to get to this from... Have we got Richo? Yeah. Well, I'm just sick of everyone stealing our stuff. He's Richo on the... On Fuddy and Friends podcast. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. Audio 21. These are the fun parts of OBS. Just check back off the steering wheel. Oh, yeah. Chris Newman or Joel Bowden? The Bowden. Joel Bowden or Nathan Brown? Brown. Nathan Brown or Brendan Dahl? What's going on? It sounds very big and sticky to me. I've got to have the music. It's disgusting. We've got the music ability. The music is... Yeah, no good. You need the music. There it is. There it is. Your man Boku, just signed a five-year deal. You must be proud. I tell you, you should get charged for that sort of stuff.

Five years. Absolutely stealing it. The five-man Boku. Absolutely stealing it. How good. Can you grasp the Boku? He's done a good job of anything. He's right behind you. I think he has. I'd him D listed it around five. He's got a five-year deal. Yeah, while we're on that. Right, because I've been... I've been on the dogs back six for, I don't know how long. And you have been the most staunch supporter of them. And you've folded like a decade cards this week. Just have a listen to this and see. See, we think you can pick up where Kane sits with the dogs back six. And you said they would not ever together as a three-impact of final. And you are point blank wrong. They kicked four goals before you. You said it wouldn't stand up in the finals. They kicked four goals between the bicks. When they go into the last week, they defend this in the league in a liminal final. What's your seat? Let's go. The weakest key to the end is in the cup. I have bought this up 15 times. It's no worse than calling it a letter of life. This is what you've gone with with me.

This is exactly it. On June 12th. 14, what do you owe 14? That's what you owe 14, home base. I think they're all right. Are you with me now on the dogs back six and they're tall? Are you with me now? You've just got to be best. You've just got to adjust. Their tools are no worse than some of the other tools. Their tools are no worse than Adelaide's. I don't think the dog's defense is like Steven Souvani. But I think it's as strong as some of the other defenses that have better results. Oh, that's not what you said the other night. You said that was the worst in the league between the two. So when do we see 15 defenders in the league? The weakest. Where do you sit now? I'm fine. I'm there, OK. I don't worry. You're feeling I'm saying. Where do I talk about the dog's least? I talk about it as a whole. I like to isolate the fillies, the midfield and the formal. Where do you sit with Buk? As good as Puncher from Collingwood, that's for sure. Punchers played four minutes of. What do you give him? He's good. You know, Donald's good. Lob's not bad.

I think he confused. Bukes just got a five-year deal. Come back. I hope Bev will come down this morning. I don't think so. I don't think you'll be here. All right, Scotty Clayton has been the subject of dumb shot. He's been the couple of times. When he said that he would have loved to have selected Murphy Reed and he would have trade up the pick two to get him. Yeah. And Scott didn't quite realize at the North Melbourne at the time. Actually, he had pick two. So that was an error. He would again. So this is on the rabbit hole podcast. Is it all right? He's been good for us. So let's have a listen to Scotty on the latest edition of dumb shot. I went to 3G 15 times in a year because I'm going to find the next Nick Natterner. I went to 3G over and over. And then Justin quite fine the right one. 15 times in a year. That's a big 3G. That big 3G. No wonder your club is Shizen. What is going on? What is going on? 3G 15 times in a year. I don't know. I can once would have been enough. How many leagues would be in 3G? I can. How about you just go watch some local foodie? I reckon if you went to the North Melbourne. I can't. I can't. I can't.

I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. Keep going. Ok. Keep going. I can't. Do you have any foodie I don't have? Think about it. You said the leader will beığımız. That's absolutely very 95. I can't. There should be a goal. If you go watch 15 times in a year, good luck. So please always watch 15 times in a year. I am sure that you'll be famous. OK. Pere. All the time. Yes. I will see you all in 2… aczego. We saw him and found that. What counts is that things guess he didn't use well and he unserem siempre. He's with Rowan Colley. He's with now a couple of others. No, no, that are banned from this pro. Do not mention his name. He's not to be mentioned on this our man Shane. No, no, when he cocks up we we light him up. He he went with this so that 49ers are out here for the first time in a long long long the first time forever. Yeah. And we send our trump cards from the media to represent us to actually put a face to Melbourne. Yeah.

And Shane McGinnis went with this. There's this match have more of an end of season feel than a start of the season feel 100,000 people at the MCG all these festivals everything happening around the city. They had an international through the NFL said we're trying to make it feel like a super bowl. Did they feel like that at all to you or to the players given the fuss around the game? No, no, not at all. That that is. Colesha and Ains going to leave Melbourne going what have had that decade time does it feel like a super bowl. But they've been here for about the coming a week early to get ready for this. 20 second question. A 22nd question. 5 second answer. Does round one feel like a super bowl to you? Not the first time he's asked a silly question though. I've at least to our man. What's your name? Shane. Shane who? I guess. Okay, that's the best question you can come up with after two hours of foot. You're quite brilliant, Shane. Yeah, terrific. I don't know why you don't like last time we met you on our program. Mike Sheen was good on Gary and Tim yesterday. He was. Yeah, if you get a chance to have a look, we're just going to post a little photo. Mike, Mike had the headphones on like this.

He's quite remarkable. In where it e-phones like that and think that they're comfortable for one. Yeah, he did. I don't know how he's gone, Mike. That was hilarious. Good value. It was good. I love that. I love. I didn't miss a couple. That don't make them like that anymore. No, I love Mike. He's. It becomes the best chief sports or footy reporter at the Hilton ever. No, no, Robbo. My man. You think? Oh, they're on the even part. You're hard on. I don't think I love Robbo. Robbo carries Marchean's bags. There you go. That's just. I just being asked. I just found a name. You'll be nasty. Can we get Robon? Can we get him on? Not now. It's just destroyed. He's the man. I love it. Just churny. If you're just waking up to us, what are you doing? You should have been here at 601. But there's ballers everywhere live from the pool when we build up to the big NFL game. It is the Rams hosting the 49ers at the MCG.

If you don't mind the Rams, land at 10, though 7, 30 yesterday morning. They woke up at midnight last night and they've gone right through the night. Treating it like a night game, staying on their time zone. They'll stay in here, are they? And we'll see how that goes. They're not staying here. They're not even one night they're staying. Then they're out. So we'll see how that works out for them. Is this just sort of research you've done for today? No, I think it's been pretty well documented. Just checking. Just checking. Just pretty well documented. The news break. It's thanks to Mac is and the new cheesy range back with more far more next. It's final time. It's down the two remember. Long ball by Mac attached to four forwards. Stanley couldn't quite stick it. Martin the book pressure. Still with Martin. Can he kick a fourth? Oh, he is. It's all happening here. That was our super September performance. Thanks to Vanguard. This September joined the Vanguard Super September Challenge and take a closer look at your super smi-man.

Big peak from AFL player rating. Oh, Pete, he's my man too. He normally, if it's below 11 degrees or above 35, you don't see him. He's in short to the texture. And he's now got a new win policy out of Dingley. He doesn't go out there for the blow. If it's above 40 knots. He tracks everything for the wisest beauty. Good man. He's a ripper. Give him a follow on Twitter as well. AFL player rating is awesome coverage of the game. Now you've been, you've got a new concept. I have. So I've got, this is like the Cox plate, right? I tried to get it in, I bought it in Graver from OZO for 20 bucks. I can't put it together. It's like an IKEA product, really. So that's no good news. So this is the Tobias medal. So for those that don't know, this is for the guys that are the reverse brand-lo-medalists. So the guys that have created the brand-lo-medalists. Now we had Josh Robinson from Champion Dados who's going to be the next Daniel Huyne. He was listening in last week. And Robo's on the line and going to run us through. Who would have been the reverse brand-lo-medalist for the last couple of years?

So this is named after Toby Pink. This is known as the Tobias, which is just unfortunate. This pinky's been in some sticky situations down back for the Kangas and it hasn't always gone well. So we welcome Robo to the program morning. Robo. Morning, Kingie. Morning, Kane. Thanks for having me on. Hey, Gail. Well, mate. Hey, listen, just explain how you apportioned the brown-low votes to the opposition of the vote getters. Yeah, so it's using our match-up data, which we capture, which essentially just throughout the game looks at who's playing on who would all point to the game. So as an example, all the way we've done it here is say Nick De Cospoles three votes and Sam Welch is on him for 50% of the game. Welch will get 1.5 votes in the Tobias for that game. Look at the Tobias. It's already got a lingo. I love it. It will be the Tobias. It will be the... So what have you done? You've tracked back? How many years have you gone back and what have you done?

We've got four years here for you. I've got the top five for the overall award and then obviously with the midfielders polling the most votes. The names up the top are often those defensive midfielders who are sort of playing on those superstars week in week out. But I've also just had a look at who the top five defenders were for each of those years as well. So you're basically trying to get Toby in there, aren't you? Is what you're doing. So let's start. So maybe start with what's your first year you've done 20, 22 or three? We've got 20, 22 here if we want to go there. These will be engraved because we're building up to this year's brown note. We're not interested in who wins the brown note. We know it's going to be Nick, where he's responsible for actually costing those votes. Josh, thank you for not going back sort of to the 2015 areas. I'm on a sea of Tobias myself. So let's start in 2022. That's a very good point. What have you got for us? I'm on track. Robo, if you can do that later on today, 25th place.

Let's start with 2022 who was responsible for the brown line Miller? Who wins the Tobias for 2022? 2022 from North Melbourne is Gai Semkin. Oh, blind man. Give him a clap. Not easy to do that. Here we are. Not easy to do. And how many votes was he responsible for? 13. So the numbers are a lot smaller for this given the kind of split with only playing 60% 70% on the midfielders. Let's move on to 23. 23? 23 with 13 votes from free mantle Andrew Braschor. Andrew, it's a great ball. I thought he was a defensive operator. He actually comes sick and the best in February. So they want to do a recap. So 2024? 18 votes and the highest number of over those last four years from West Coast, Tim Kelly.

Tim Kelly. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, now I can see that West Coast have been pretty average. And finally last year, last year. Last year, I just want to point out if you look at just the defenders from last year rather than all the players. Our man Toby Pink comes in for. Not easy to do. It's not easy to say well, no, not easy to do. Put your hands together for Toby. The original to bias. That's not easy to do. Who got him? He must have been stiff. Liam Baker was top for the defenders, but for the overall award with all the midfielders, is George Huett with 14. George, Vossy was rough. He was rough. He was on the sun. Well, that's outstanding. He actually won the best in Ferris Lars. He was one of the two boys and the best. It's a red double.

We might check in with you after Brandlo Knight and find out who won the 2026 to bias, buddy. But appreciate you joining us. Absolutely. Enjoy the rest of the morning. The Daniel Hoyne, Josh Robinson from Champion Data will get that in Greg West, Grambling for Covernous State, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. We've got good prize for the quiz, dude.

We've had good quiz, we've had good action, putting a selfies, all happening down here. Where else would you rather be than right here

ahead of this landmark game between the Rams and the 49ers coming up. The Kymis is going to join us, Roger Gidele. Maybe the most famous guest we've ever had. Yeah, it wouldn't be. Look, it's not a long list to be fair. I mean, it would be at the top of a tier again. Oh, the genius. Yeah, well, he's a regular of ours. He's into a prelim, which is the gut's upper. Made you very happy. I saw the, I went to Corrin McCurlan's lunch in yesterday. He had Michael Irving there. He was terrific. To the Dallas Cowboys superstar. Number 88, as we know over here. And as I got out of the car, there was an X-Haw Thornex North Melbourne coach just starting. He's walking around the Elberpark Lake. Really? No, I didn't have the courage to go over and say good-bye, Clark-o, I thought I'll just let him just, I'll just let him go for a walk. Just calm down, just let him come down. He was a sighting in the wild. JK is with us, JK, good morning. Morning, boys. How are we? We have another inaction today on the sideline. Yes, sideline for S&. Hype man. Hype man.

Yeah. I've never done sideline or boundary before. So this is a new, I'm joining the crew, the union, the boundary rider, the union king. The BRU, the boundary rider. You're a play-by-play man, the best in the business. How are you not doing play-by-play today? I'm fine doing up, I feel privileged to be on the field. Very diplomatic. No, I know. Very diplomatic. I know you don't. I know you don't mean that, but it will move on. You're a humble man, I can't believe it. You did the show, the NFL show, throughout the course of the year, which starts incredibly early next Monday, three in the morning, two 30. Two 30 in the morning, a ride through a total stumps. Give us your view on this game and what it means to Melbourne. To have this occasion around one proper divisional rivals in Melbourne. Yeah, it's probably the best possible way to start the NFL Melbourne campaign. So we know it's going to be the initial deal. It's three games over four years. And I think having these two teams, the 49ers and the Rams,

who are divisional rivals, so it's not a small market team, like the Jacksonville Jaguars, who normally get put out in London. We get two big teams from California, division rivals. And it's week one, which I think is also the other really fun aspect of this. It's not hidden in the middle of the season among all the other international games. It's the first international game at the start of the season. And it comes with the excitement of being in Melbourne, but the excitement of being the first week of the new season. So there's just multiple layers to it. And being in Australia now, Australia can, I mean, we're already a football following country, NFL following country, but now we're sort of, we're an official NFL nation. We're part of the team now. Two of the best coaches go on head to head, J.K. Just give us a little snapshot of these two McVeigh and Shanahan. They're two good friends. They work together at Washington for about three years. Together they overlap. Carl Shanahan was the offensive coordinator there first. And then Sean McVeigh took over after him at Washington. And now they coach the 49ers and the Rams. McVeigh was one of the youngest ever head coaches in the NFL. He was 30, I think, when he came in to take over the Rams.

So both offensive-minded head coaches, both the offences of these teams are the standout points. So that bodes well for us. Hopefully it means we get a high scoring game today with the two high-powered teams. So yeah, I think it's interesting sort of listening to the two coaches as well during the week. And Carl Shanahan talking about the scheduling and Sean McVeigh was, they looked a bit sour coming off the plane. Yesterday didn't make it very odd pictures, but that's, yeah, that two attacking-minded coaches. Hopefully it makes my scoring today. Have you seen the venue yet? Have you been out in that look? In that? No, I haven't yet. No. It'll be a strange view for the MCG so that the configuration, how much space will there be from a sideline to the stands? We're with, I'll be a bit of a silly than some of these guys here, but where they are in level four as compared to the sideline, how far away will that be? It's not as bad as I thought to seeing the pictures online. I thought the field was going to look very small

compared to the entire plane surface. The corners of the field sort of do just about reach sort of the front row, but as far as the wings, I don't know in terms of distance, there is going to be a bit of a distance. And I suppose if you're sitting level one in the front couple of rows, the biggest sort of conundrum is that you're going to have all the players on the sideline right in front of you. So that's going to be, it's not not great, I suppose. It's just the realities of having a square field on an oval plane surface. And you're there. You're there, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah. Now we sort of, we sort of winch when teams miss out on the Murphy reads and they slip in the draft and these type of things, but what about the 9 as quarterback Brock Birdie? Pick 200, sorry, to 62. Yeah. Yeah. Last pick in 2022 has just signed a fresh $265 million dollar contract. How does that happen? What, with all the money and the wealth and the game and the recruiting, how can he get missed? It is, it's incredible actually.

There's not too many success stories from the last pick of the draft. Mr. irrelevant, they call them, which is a pretty brutal nickname to give the last pick. But he's, he's, he's bucked the trends and he get, he's the last pick of the draft and Matt Stafford, the other quarterback in the Rams. He was pick one in his drafts in 2009 it was. So you got pick one against the last pick. How does it happen? It's, it's a non-white. I don't know. He's caught up back issues for a long time. I couldn't quite settle on on a, on a quarterback. So he was sort of just brought in by necessity at the time that he was and he's turned out to be pretty good. So the one thing with college players coming into the NFL is they are ready to go. So it's not like the AFL when you, you bring 18 year olds in and you have to develop them for a couple of years. When you come out of college, you are ready to play. You are expected to have an impact straight away. So he was, I guess for him, right, right man, right time for the 49ers. What will be, what will be the thing that the fans are struck by the most? I think you go the tennis, you see how hard they hit the ball. It's different to what you see on TV.

Golf, they're just bending it and all sort of cricketer. They bolt fast unless it's Cam Green. Unless it's Cam Green. It goes over the fence. What will be the thing that hits the fan that goes for the first time? Oh, that's a good one. Well, firstly, getting used to, NFL's a very TV oriented sport. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Yeah, getting used to having those moments in between plays and sort of sitting around and watching what's going on. I'm sure the NFL, I know the NFL that produced all the in-stadian packaging. So on the big screens, I'll be a lot of explainers that are going on for new fans, casual fans who might not know all the rules. So they'll be a lot of that happening and filling in all the details. But that's going to be a new thing because we're obviously used to AFL and how continuous it is. So having those laws of sort of 20 to 40 seconds in between each play is going to be a new thing. I thought you have a better answer than that. The gaps in between. No, no, but it's a gap. But that is the thing that struck me. I've asked lately, athletically, what do they got? Well, these guys are shitting me up. Oh, I was in the size of the players.

I was asking Nick. He just said that. We are great. I was asking Nick's put. The size of the players and the heaviness of the hits. Correct. That's what I'll say. Thank you. Thank you. But it's interesting how, like, we are obsessed with keeping the ball in motion. Last touch out of bounds, kicking and getting it up, throw it up. As much ball the motion as you can possibly get, the thing about the NFL is you can watch the play, goes for like five seconds, then you talk to your mate about it in the par bowl at the ground. And then it's ages before they come back onto the ground. So completely different feel, I guess, in terms of the spectator experience. And the other thing for the spectators is the, we spoke about this last night on the previous show is the fan interaction with the game is actually flipped around. So you don't want to make noise when your team has the ball. You want to be quiet when your team has the ball. So if you're a 49ers fan and the 49ers are in possession, you want to stay quiet to allow them to communicate on the field and then make noise when the Rams have the ball. So you can try and put them off and try and make it harder

for them to hear the play calls. Just before we go, the positional sort of side of things, would there be room for a tagger in the NFL? Put hell. Well, like a cornerback is kind of a tagger. He like takes the wide receiver and tries to shut them down. Sometimes with two, isn't it? Sometimes with double teams. Cornerback and shaping those two man coverage. You mentioned tagger and he gets so excited. I'm going to get that in. Can I get that in the coverage? He's like a tagger. He's like a tagger. Y'all. I want a y'all in there. Hey, have a great day, mate. Thank you boys. Well, no. There's nothing he can't do. He dominated the world cup. He dominated the world cup. Great footy call, a great NFL caller. And we're lucky to have him, J.K. What about the NFL? How are you feeling about this weekend? I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm excited about John's chances, don't I? I think we're going to get two of the great smashings. Oh, wow. In which way?

Well, three men will smash two of the ball. Both teams at loss will bounce back in a big way. Wow. Mark that down, King. Monday. What's considered a smashing? 40 plus. 40 plus. Brisbane and three men. 40 plus. Brisbane 60 plus. 60 plus. Well done by the watching group. Or watch early. One or the other. That's a good disagree. I do disagree. I think there's a bit of tension. Who's the best option to cause an upset Jolong? Jolong, definitely. Straight sets for your boys. You've had them 60% no premiership pie all year. And now you're telling me they're gone in straight sets. I love the Fremail Dockers. Can I just put that on the table? Right here. They are my boys. He set them up to fail all year. Not true. No, I think they're right in it. I don't think it'll be a smashing. I think the Jolong footy club are playing better football than what we give them credit for. A lot of talk about camera and all those sorts of things.

They're a match winners everywhere for Jolong. And Stuart's just the biggest headache in the game, Dom Stuart. So I think they'll be fine. And there's a bit of apprehension. There's a bit of nervousness in Western Australia right now. Now Fremail expected to win last week. They couldn't have played poorer than what they did. And right now they're probably thinking, OK, are we too tall for the ball? Do we have Mason Cox? Does he still have a role for us? So we've got the right second, Ruckman. We've got no other choice. Should we be using Voss and the Ruck as a second, Ruckman? Have we got enough running half back defenders? Because it all looks good during the home and away season when things are rolling and going well, but you get whacked between the eyes in a final and all of a sudden your confidence has gone. So I don't think it'll be a smashing. I think the cats will be right in it. Jezet has been a hot topic. He's speaking. Did you see what Nathan Buckley had to say on the couch when Jordan Lewis was questioning his role and whether he should be playing in the role that he's been deployed in? What did you make of that?

Well, he did certainly on first crack last night. They've never scored more. So they scored 99 points with Jezer in the forward light. And 109 without him. So it's not a problem. Right? Not saying they're a better forward light. I'm just saying it's not an issue. They get to put him on the wing and he gets mismatches. Oh, game. Now we only had the 13 touches I think last week and he want to do more than that, but that's a form thing. That's not necessarily a structural problem for them. I think you'll sneak forward. It'll be, it'll be match up against the wingman and he'll hit the scoreboard. He'll kick two goals as a wingman. Holy Dems to be on the other wing kicking two goals. Name me another team that gets three or four goals and wingman. You guaranteeing four goals from their wingman. I think they'll get four goals out of their wingman. Right. Unchange the cat. So cat pace that for Monday, please. Four goals out of the wingman. Polking horn keeps his spot. No room for sand to coning despite the fact that Freeman will have the three tools down there. So unchange for the dockers. McVeigh comes in with Wagner, Odris school and Walker out.

Murphy Reed. So tagged for the first time against Melbourne. Yeah. Full strip, do you think that he will be the target player tonight? I think either Himal Bolton with my man, O'Shea. I think it's the wrongs, the other three options. It's the wrongs, the other option, but I don't think he's in sparkling form. So yeah, I'll probably would favor Murphy Reed. As a funny way of tagging O'Shea, when he tags the slider stoppage player, he stands at the front and just holds him like that and they can't adjust. So maybe he does go to Bolton and do that. I think they'll go after Murphy Reed. I think once you've got a player that's a fraction out of form, a little bit younger player, second year, I think they might go after Reed as well, which would be very interesting. If it gets down or battle the coach's box, Chris got the best at adjusting in game in the competition. So that'll be a watch for me later on tonight.

Alright, we'll talk about the Adelaide Brisbane game on the other side of this out first thoughts of a club tockle ball Australia's premier Marrife golfing destination talks the golf package team today, stunning new clubhouse now open.

Lots of ballers appreciate you coming down. Still got two tickets to give away the last two tickets to the NFL game with 100,000 the MCG Rams and the 49ers. The Commissioner Roger Gidell is going to join us.

Patrick Willis, the non-as Hall of Famer and semi-admin with the news. As we preview Brisbane, hooding the Adelaide Croses teams in last night for the line. The fans Gallup is back in, and is worse injured. Zack Taylor is in and no coming for the Croses. And you love coming. Oh, God. Come here. Come here, love coming. Yes. Well, you know, wasn't lying. I'm just looking at these lineups. And I think they're brought in Gallup to give Harris Andrews a bit more freedom. It looks like when he gets tagged, it was confusing for him last week. McDonald did a great job. Who's going to do it for Adelaide, though? Is it Archie? I think you have to trust Taylor Walker. Good Walker, do it. No. Oh, there you go. I know you don't like Texas. No, no, I do like it.

White cat. He's not a defensive forward. What can he do? In his last, possibly his last ever game. It's not a role that I think he's best suited to do. I think they'll need someone with the smarts. Archie. Who are they? Archie. You reckon Archie can get it done? No, I don't know. But he's there in the, he's there in the option. It's not your man, Foggedy. It's not the Philseeker. My, my father, you mind me also. It's not Keiza. Keiza's going to do Zorko. So I think it has to be Archie. I'd be using anyone. I'd be using text. We're just saying stay in the goalsqueer, drag him deep. And see if you can hit the scoreboard. That's the game for me. For the crows to win. And I was at Rankins in grade four. Great for him. But he just needs, he just needs a little bit more from Richelli around the edges. You talk, you're touched then on, on Ben Keiza. I don't think he's, he's just, just going for me. Just needs, it needs a big game. Me's to hit the scoreboard. They're going to have to score 100 plus. 100. So can they do that is the challenge?

I'm not sure they can. That's the challenge. And Lions, good on the bounce back. But how many times can you go to the world? They would have done it again. Fakes would have had a positive meeting and reminded everyone how good they are. And all of that, which has worked so well for them. You wonder whether that novelty is wearing off. But I suspect Bruce Buna going to win and win big and set themselves up for a huge prelude final against my hawks. Saturday night at the MCG. But there's some players that need to play well. Rain and Esa play well. Lohman needs to bounce back. Charlie Cameron didn't touch it last week. Neil had his worst game for the year. Heer a clock each can't find the foot in his lost all confidence in his former and his body. So there's definitely some questions to answer for the Lions on Saturday night. What's the best midfield mix? I think they need to look at throwing Charlie Cameron in a set of outs. I wouldn't mind that. He's their best defensive option. No one hunts a tackle like Charlie Cameron does. And I just think they've got Ashcroft locking in there. We love him, but they don't.

They don't. They don't. But Bailey goes in there with one thing only and that's what in his mind. That's the win the footing. Rainer goes in there because he's not touching the ball forward of center. So he thinks I've got to get my hands on the footing. And if they don't, you get a good look the other way. So I think they need to change the mix, not be using Charlie Cameron as that player because they're getting smashed the other way out of clearance. Our first thoughts of the Signet last time, a flat when you're power every moment with the Signet Power Bank Signet.com. Did you want to speak about Tazzy? Yeah, I did. How is Tazzy going with the luring of a key name, the key player? Because we keep hearing and we've got some audio of just where they sit with their swings and misses so far this season. But so Tazmania tonight has all but ruled out chasing contracted players over the next two years. This applies to the likes of Nick Deikos, Sandar, Steve Fincallerhan, Harry Sheezy, all contracted to 2029 or 2030. The Devils have basically said we're going to go for players who are out of contract.

Nate Cady has resigned until the end of 2031. But the big update here is what he's turned down. So my understanding is that Devils had made clear to Fino Sullivan that across an eight year deal worth up to $15 million. They'd be willing to table that for the second year Kangaroo and also Sam Waller basically made the same offer to both of them. The update tonight is that Osalvan is set to stay, has a main interest in it and hasn't been even interested in to meet with the Devils. Of course the perfect candidate to be the first captain would be Alex Pearce. He's a wonderful captain at Freemannel. He is a Tasmanian. He had some stage might like to move back to Tasmania. It's not going to happen. He had been linked to the club. People that suggested maybe he would take a meeting. He ain't leaving this 40 club at Freemannel. He wants to be a one club player. And he shut it down really hard. The extra part of this detail though is that Logan Morris won't be entertaining the massive Tasmania interest in him. So they're throwing money at all these young superstars. Cady, Logan Morris, Sullivan, Fino Sullivan. They've all said no.

We started to get concerned about who the Tasmanian Devils are going to have as their marquee signing. Bome of career. Well it's going to be Bome of career again. Bome of career. Bome of career. Right and man's all this stage which are not household names. Yeah I think there'd be a level of concern. So what? At the AFL and at Tasie. So the money's not getting it done. It's not at this stage but is anyone going to confirm that they're going now? They're not going to wait. No one's going to say I'm going to Tasie a year out. They're not going to back. They're signing with their current club. So I'm concerned as to who they're going to get. The names are falling off the chart. They're falling off the board. You don't look as concerned as me. You got faith haven't you? Well I think it's definitely a worthy topic to discuss. Yeah I think there'll be a level of concern at the AFL. Yes and it does. Anything more man to be handling it down there? Kenny? No the other man. Gain all?

Yeah he's good. How would he be handling it? He's good. Big spend. He's under control. And it's an opposed for all of you. His break is for macgers the new cheesy range in the gun on the other side of this. He's here only signing. King E for you? Who's in the gun? I'll tell you what I'm putting in the gun. I'm putting a hole for Borklub in my crosshairs. A couple of big wickets last week. I'll tell you what I'm putting in the gun. He's now lost his place in the side. I'm going to muck around with him because they're just hanging on for dear life. I'm going with pleasure getting big cash and so I'm big dear. We'll claim victory on that one. I'm going with Josh Whettle. This gives you your life counts to respond. I'm in the gun on fireball and if you don't, we'll call you out. Big names only on in the gun. I'm putting the fireball production team on those. Oh he's going to put them in the gun. In the gun. Who have Kane and King and got in their sides this week? This is in the gun. There's no positive in the gun. In the gun, if a boston court you can trust the rely on available at your local hardware and construction specialist.

Last week you had those that were coming after Nixie. How do I go? The rats. The rats in the ranks. Have a nerd from Miss Lee. Who do you think was the rat? Wow, I got my suspicions. Who do you think? No, I know them too well to name them. They'll be ringing straight away. Now, oh, I think that this is the point, isn't it? I liked your discussion on agendas. I think it was where you said it's not just about one game. It has to be a great. What happens if they lose by a big margin? Will you say it at 60 points? Yeah, what is the confidence still there just off one win against the western board dogs or not? There's a great find out. It's a great topic because I think once you say he's not your premiership coach, you walk on the outstrader way. I don't care what point. I don't care if they win a final and then are out. Or whether they don't even make the final. As soon as he's not your man, he's not your man. What Carlton should have done with Michael Boss? It's what Paul should have done with Ken. Correct. It's what Colin would should have done with McMillan House.

You can go with the class, the situation, the whole thought and go wherever you want. I agree with your logic if they believe he's not the man. I had Charlie Kuno. What a response. What a response from you. I thought he was excellent last week right from the start. It wasn't just about the goal, but I thought his stuff was really strong. Terrific for him to play well in a big final. This week, who's in the gun? There's only one man that can possibly be in the gun this week. One man. One man. It's my man. The coach of Freemann. He's had a terrific home and away season last year. He ran a ground in a finals here against Gold Coast on the road, which no one saw coming. We just put down the first finals appearance for this group. It can happen they played poorly, lost the game. We won four to twelve months. Another great home and away season. First fall, couldn't have put in a poorer performance. It makes you start to question everything.

The way they play. Is this final's footy, the way they play? They're set up down back, really only have one counter-punching defender. He couldn't have played any better last week in terms of giving them some drive. They need two. Do they go with two? Do they make their adjustment? I don't think so. They're forward. Key three. Didn't fire. So the question will be if they get rolled tonight, are they setting up for the home and away season to make finals? Or are they playing finals footy? It's an amazing story. Tonight's game with that pressure. It's what is so good about finals. It just brings the best or worst out of everyone. So all eyes on your man. All eyes. The full hour will be huge if they get rolled. Where are you going? All I think the man that needs to set the tone is the big Kahuna, Josh Tracy. He did not have a kick until about the last eight minutes of that game last week. Not one kick and I thought his first contest he was pushed under the ball far too easily.

So for me, he's in the absolute prime of his career. 24 years of age. All Australian. Physical beast. That's what we need to see. And I think we will see that. I think he's the one that's going to respond tonight. Look, he's 100 kilos, he's six foot five, making impact, making statement. Not sure there's anyone that can really go with him from too long tonight. I'm not sure what the matchup would be and what it looks like. Do you think he looked tired last week? This is my fear. We think they cooked him. We've talked about him all year resting him, don't travel him. He's asked to do more than any other key pull in the competition. To just bring the ball to ground we've seen. Can tall his body, just get just just cause a crash on the wing, cause a crash at top of the goal square. I think he plays the most punishing role in the game. And he's played 24 games this year. No time to be tired tonight. Well, there's no time.

But sometimes no one plans on being tired for a final. But I looked at him last week and I thought, Jesus, he ran a ground. That'll be a watch tonight. A big watch. So in the gun for you, all eyes on free man. And then there's suppliers at Brisbane that have got great reputation and CVs. They've been there and done that before. But this is sort of rare. Your last opportunity to join the other Brisbane group in one, two and three and win three in a row. And I think they'll be all out. But we mentioned those names. Rainer needs a big game. McCleodage needs a big one. Neil perhaps his last game at Brisbane if things don't go well. So there's suppliers that need to play well for Brisbane as well. We love Lockheed. Lockheed walked out here last year. Grant finally even gave us 10 minutes. We didn't have to give it. It was almost didn't have to even talk to us. Most iconic, fireball moment I think. Was there a greatest moment last year? No doubt about that. So I'm reluctant to go after Lockheed. But don't sign off like this. Don't finish at Brisbane with a wimper.

I'd love him to have a big game and be the reason they have a strong win. And just stamp himself as a great, which you already is of this footy club, but be a great on the way out. I just hate to seem have a four clearance, 25 possession game all one way and be a contributor to their loss or a narrow victory. Stamp it. We are at the Pulman East Melbourne. Be close to the game like all of the ballers here are big crowd as the fans are streaming MCMCG. Perfect where they could not be set up any better for this landmark game. A proper NFL game. And we're going to get your feedback next. We've got the roving Mark of Triple Asian. We'll get in and amongst the crowd. How are we giving these tickets away? What's the, can you talk to us? Best feedback. Best feedback. Just a little round of applause. Just a round of applause we've come from my men Glenn just working his way to the end. Glenn, Glenn, just give us a little push and air here. Just clean up your mess on table five years at the moment.

He runs the joint. He runs the joint. Absolutely. Absolutely. You're the feedback on the other side of this. You're listening to Fireball. Say yes, IDD to going out after the game. Unlock your warehouses potential with the latest innovations from Dexian. Switch to a Kogan mobile low price phone plan. Kogan.com. Click and awesome. Kane and King. Fireball. Fireball. Fireball. That's my feedback. Fresh talk, Tom. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. We've got a feedback. All right. Feedback is for Reem. And who is running hot with other ADU's manufacturing hot order in Australia. It's got to be Reem. We've got BAN here, Boys with one for you. Yes, G'day, boys. I just very quickly to hear your thoughts. Kane, we all know your man is child and king of your man is Norton. Who is today's equivalent of Norton or child? Today in the game over there.

Oh, gee. We're here. You're the BAN one. You're the Roving man. So Pooke and Akura, our man here who's got the jersey on here. He's got himself an orbit of trouble. Pooke. He's got himself an open trouble, Puka, over the journey and he's facing some discipline reaction from the NFL but they've cleared him to play. Now this guy is a freak. He's the toughest unit out on the ground today. So all eyes for me, on my Rams and Puka and Akula, whether he can get through just keep his head down and keep himself out as a mischief. What about Chris from a referee? He's had a few injuries over the journey but he's that good. So yeah, I like I like it. So McCaffrey versus Puka, Puka. Puka. Today. Yep. He's a legend. Boys we've got Bruce in the crowd here. He's a big Rams man obviously. Hi boys. I think it's fascinating. The AFL's supporting. Fascinating. Fascinating. Is that Bruce? Give us one push out Bruce.

What do you thought in behind closed doors or the AFL think that the finals week in Melbourne, everyone's just following NFL? Well I think the AFL of Mr. Tricky. I think it's been us versus them where they should have just embraced everything. Welcome them here with open arms. Welcome them back. Don't worry about them being here at finals time. Try and capture everything the NFL brings. It's been a bit of angst. I think there was an opportunity for an extended wildcard round. What else you got? We've got Brano here with one that's written down on notes boys. So this is serious. Look out. Cano. No. No. Have a look at again Cano. Fitzroy. I wrote it. Brisbane eyes. Write this one on the way in from on the train from Ringwood. Cano and Kingie. What do you mean you wrote it on the train? I wrote the

question. What you just did do that regularly? Always. Just let him ask the question Kingie. I can't with the. It's farballs. Print it out. Alright with the NFL finally invading MCG. Here's the question guys. If an AFL club had to adopt the NAFL team as its American counterpart, which pairing would you make and why? Bonus points for convincing me the Brisbane Lions obviously with the Green Bay Packers. I think yes and it would be the Dallas Cowboys. It's a big team that don't have them for 20 years. That's good. We got Luke here. That's how's it going. I was looking at a few in the guns this week and I'm putting the AFL executive in the gun who wants less game time and more games in the season. Who were we saw the standard football slip during COVID. Why isn't anyone addressing the fact that the AFL is getting further away from the fans? And what do you boys think about less game time? I like this guy. What did you think about less game time? I think we need more of this guy. Who's your name again? Luke. Luke. Luke is a chance to take over from us. He can have it. He looks

intense. He looks serious. He looks ready to go. Are you coming back next year? Can you get up at four in the morning or not? I'll tell you. I thought it was 50-53 weeks ago. It's 40-60. That's a good question. Oh, we got Josh Allen in the crib. Yeah, Josh Allen here. A.K.A. Ferguss. I want to know as a big mad north fan. Not who should be coach. Who do you want to be coach? It's a good question. Ferguss. Who do you want? More on the selection. I think Simmel will be coach. I do think Simmel will get the job. Did they ask you to be on the side bottom? No, they are. How can they do side bottom? I just offer myself. If they need help, I'm happy to help. That's fine. Just don't cock it up. I think Simmel will get it. I like the first time. No, not for you. I think Simmel will get it. Who is it? I think it's been too successful going back to the

well. Coach has been somewhere else second time up. Hasn't worked. Doesn't think you can go through a high-speed line. Boss, he didn't work. Do you think the fact that you've been all over the fact that Simmel was on the Colton selection community and he sat through all the presentations? No, you've been all over that. Do you think that's going to give him the edge? No, and he'll tell you that it does. He's heard them, but it's not as basic as what you think. He's saying you can't glean anything from those presentations. I'm not so sure. Last one, boys. Nick from Perth, surprise, surprise. He's a huge Tim Gossage fan. Oh, Gossage. Morning, Lads. Just keen to know with Kano's premiership pie going up in smoke. What's his Super Bowl pie? Will it be more than 100 percent? Yes. And he got a Super Bowl pie. I do. Look, the rams are the favourites. But I think Josh Allen's going to win his first Super Bowl at the Buffalo Bill. I've got

to hear that place out. I think 98 percent. He got 12 percent rams. He's got to go strong. Is that equal 100? It's a round of it. It's a system. Oh, there we go. Joshy, why have you got a media pass? What are you talking about? He's got mine. David King, media pass. I pinched it. You can take it if you want to. No field access. I'm not like mine. I've got an upgrade. Hey, good job on the agendas. It's last night. You got a dominated. I did. He's always nervous about fresh meat coming on the scene. You got anything for us? Give us something. Oh, mate. Fear is right in the air. Official. What are you looking at? I'm here for sports equipment. I need to talk to you. I thought you were here for a, for a swim. For what? Contributions for shows. Give us a stinger, please.

Kane and King. Veeley is smashed by a Patrick Willis. The letters are the more, or what? Yeah, or what? Uncomplete Ricky Williams got a little bit of Patrick Willis. To Ricky Williams, we're going to have a stop stop. Well, if you do not mind, we have an NFL Hall Famer. The San Francisco 49ers legend Patrick Willis with a song,

Fireball, Bowlers, Mike him, feel welcome Patrick. Thanks so much for your time. Thank you for having me. I'm a baller. That's all we needed from David from New Year. How's it been? How many of you could have here and have you enjoyed it? We got to hear on, I flew out with the team. It has been absolutely amazing the way the fans to see all the excitement and feel the passion. You can tell the sports really mean something here. So to be able to bring the NFL over here for the first time has really been remarkable and I'm just grateful to be a part of all of it. Did you ever think this was a possibility? The game would expand, expand so far internationally? I'm a firm believer that anything is possible, but I've been fortunate to be able to play in a couple of international games, primarily London. That was awesome, but I would absolutely say being here has been absolutely tremendous. Just the love, just everything about it, the food. I mean, it's been great.

It's hard not to say that ring when you flash it. I'm just telling us the story. Yeah, so this is my Hall of Fame ring. I wasn't fortunate enough to get a Super Bowl. Though I did play in 1-0-0-47 when we fell short, but this right here is the, this is football heaven in our world. And this right here is the highest accomplishment, the highest accolade that you can receive. And yeah, this is my Hall of Fame ring. I am Hall of Fame with 378. So yeah, I'm truly grateful. Yeah. So you were, it's not, it's in Australia, we would say that's not very humble, but it's absolutely cool. Yeah. Not. That's amazing. It is amazing. So tell us about what, I heard Michael Irving speak yesterday to lunch and he talked about, where the game took him. From a young man with not a lot of opportunity in life, to a pathway of just amazing success, and then what it's bought for him after he's done as a player.

Yeah. You're a similar story. Yeah, yeah. So, man, football has been great to me. It has allowed me to see places, go places that I could only have imagined in my mind. You know, I am from a very, very small town in the States. I'm from Tennessee. My town is so small that if you blink, you wouldn't even realize it was a town. But one thing that I can say is that I always had a big imagination and I always wanted more. And I didn't know exactly how that would come in life. But I knew that at a young age, I really enjoyed sports. And I really felt like I took a liking to it to the point of where I was like, man, I really want to do this. So I believe it was like in the sixth grade, I was watching this Walter Peyton autobiography. And the one of the things they talked about was work ethic. And though I didn't have much, though I didn't come from much, one thing that I was, one thing that I am proud of is that my dad, my family, they had work ethic. And so I remember watching that autobiography

and hearing them talk about work ethic. Now remember after it was over with, I was like, man, I don't know exactly what I just watched, but I did hear them speak highly about work ethic. And Walter Peyton is from a very small town in Jackson, Mississippi, which is another state right over from mine. And I say, you know what? If he can make it and it took work ethic, I said, I got this. My dad instilled this in me when I was a little boy. I'm gonna get there. And so you fast forward, 2008, I'm walking out on the 49ers field. And I looked to my right, and I looked to my left, and I looked right behind me. And I saw three of the same guys as I saw when I was in the sixth grade watching that autobiography when I said, I'm gonna get there. And so I say all that to say, man, anything is possible. You put your mind to it. You willing to dedicate yourself and give it everything you got. And most importantly, keep the faith, man. You can be standing in an amazing place so you can find yourself in Australia, a place that you only saw on TV. And I will say, I will say, growing up, I was a big crocodile dundee fan.

You know, I was born in 85, and I remember growing up in those 90s or whatnot. And I remember just seeing him, but seeing all the sun, and I would tell my dad, I was like, man, I don't know where all that sun is, but I want to go there one day. And now he's got to go with us on Farbo. Now, see some lawn back at competitive top for those. We've got a lot of NFL fans here, but we've got some casual fans as well. A lot of lawn back at, can you explain to us that position and what your role was? Yeah, so lawn back at, you know, I like to say, lawn backers are the generals of the defense. I feel like I don't want to say it starts with us, but a lot goes through us. We are the ones who direct traffic. We are the ones who makes the call. We don't want to get the guys lined up. And most importantly, we are the ones to, I call, we are the thumpers or whatnot. And so for me, I really took great pride in playing the lawn back position. I like to say I'm an athlete. Well, I am an athlete. And I play a position truly grateful to play the lawn back position.

You retired quite young. About the age of 30, you had some issues with your body. Did you, well, you ever tempted to make a comeback? We were saying Aaron Donald, make a comeback issue. Did anyone try and get you out of retirement? Was that tempting? No, you know, it was, that was interesting, dynamic. You know, I've always had, I've always had a great respect for the game of football, for sports in general. And I remember just growing up and seeing some of the guys who I idolized. And I didn't understand that there was a certain point when I remember seeing them to the point where I was like, oh, man, you don't look the same. Man, you look, you look an old. Yeah. I remember telling myself, I didn't want to be that type of player when I, one day, if I ever made it there. And I remember my rookie year having that conversation with myself. I was like, man, every time you, any time you start anything, there would be a time that it would end. There would be a time that you have to transition home to something else. And I remember just when that time came, it was tough. It wasn't easy.

But I knew that it was time to step away because one, I didn't want to do that to my teammates. My rookie year, I told myself, I said, wherever I go, I want to give the city, the fans, the organization, everything I have. And when I can no longer do that, then I'll step away from the game and allow someone else to be able to free that family and play the game in football and enjoy it in the way in which I did. And so at 28, I felt it. I wasn't just at 20. I started feeling it a little bit before then. But at 28, it was when the reality hit in. And I'll tell you, I want the hardest things to do in life sometimes, to be honest with yourself. And that was that moment for me. We're here on the ground at the MCG in bathing sunlight. This crowd is starting to fill in. Cain and King will come back to you at the pool man in just a second. But I'm here. Jordan Canell is on the field with NFL Commissioner Roger Gidell. Roger, good morning. It's great to have you. Good morning. On SCN. Firstly, how have you found the day so far

in what has been an impressive display of NFL fandom here in Australia? Well, seeing the sun come up over your shoulder and over the stadium is a pretty cool look for us. And one of the things I tell everybody back in the states is that you've never seen greater fans and lovers of sports in Australia. And the fact that we have 100,000 people coming here at 10, 30 in the morning on the Friday is really a strong indication that it's just been great. The hospitality, the interest, it's just really been a wonderful experience for all of us, including our players and teams. What has been unique about Melbourne and the way that Melbourneians and Australians have embraced the game compared to what you've seen in other international cities? I think they're a love of sport. I think they have a tremendous love of sports in general. But the game I think is really something that's intrigued them. They're interested, they're curious. And hopefully we're going to give them a show today to give them a better flavor when they get to watch it.

Because this is live. This is real. This game counts for both teams. Has it surprised you how much the fandom has been around in Melbourne and what you've seen throughout the city and the wake leading up? No, because we could tell that passion they had, but I would say this, as much as we've played international games, I don't think we've ever seen a more passionate group. And a group that wants to just experience every aspect of it. And that's so exciting for us. And we see it with the fans, we see it with our partners, we see it with everybody. And I think that's something that we'll build off here. One of you made of the players and the way that the teams have approached the wake and the different flight strategies, the 49ers who have been here all week and the Rams who have just flown in yesterday. Do you appreciate, as the commissioner, what the 49ers have done in the wake leading up and how they've got involved in the Melbourne community? Yeah, I think it listens great when you can come here and actually experience what it's like to be in here in Austria.

And the stories I'm hearing is that they've loved their opportunity to be here. They've been going out and drinking the coffee. They've been going out and drinking the beer, I'm sure. But they've been now having a real Austrian experience. And I think that's a great aspect of this. And the Rams are looking at this as a business trip. They're coming in ready to play. We'll see how it goes. It's a great rivalry. So I don't think it's going to be a difference maker at the end of the day. But it's interesting to see the different approaches. How have you found Melbourne personally? Have you indulged yourself in Melbourne community and culture? I have. You know, I've only been here for three days on this trip. But this is my third trip in the last five months. And brought my family over for a family vacation in between. And it just loved it. There's so much to engage in. There's so much to be proud of. The people here are just incredibly warm. So we look forward to coming back a lot. Both as a family and as an NFL. What is the future of NFL football look like in Australia from both the professional game

and also how the game is growing through flag football too? Yeah, we're really excited about the flag game. The flag is a global game. It's different than our form of the game. It's much more accessible. And the great thing about it is young men and women. Boys and girls get an opportunity to play. And they're getting the opportunity to play something that I think will teach them different values about sport. Which is what I think people here appreciate about sports. So I think it's going to be a big part of our future growth. I think that for us we're going to continue to bring our game in with our partners from the media side as well as our plate more games here. We're not, this is not a one and done for us. We'll be back. As for what's going to happen on the field today between the 49ers and the Rams, what would be the best possible outcome today to finish the week off on the right note? Right. Well, I think the whole show is going to be important. Right? I think one of the things that we take repriving is respecting the country we're playing here. When you see the anthem and you see the both of our flags out on that field,

the Australian flag and the American flag. And you see the anthem since the point of pride for us. And then the game itself, having a good competitive game, a safe game. And everybody has a wonderful time. That's ultimately what we're looking forward to. Will it always be the MCJ in the future? It's a, this is iconic stadium. So playing here is an honor. But we do have a lot of interest in other markets. And we'll see. We'll see how that works out. I think we want to get through this game. Roger Gidell, thank you very much for joining us on SCN and enjoy the day. Thank you. I appreciate it. And if you'll commission out Roger Gidell with us here on SCN. We'll go to a break and come back with more from the MCJ after this. Now unfiable. The Friday agenda. And it is. It is for Lillidale, instant lawn king, Australian family owned quality turf to live it on time every time our roots run deep. But where's Kangon? He slipped away like a wide receiver on third down. Where's he? He's a bit towy actually. He's a bit nervous today.

He's doing the boundary for Channel 7, which is going not to America, but around the rest of the world. So I'm sort of half-prime for a cock up at some stage. But I've challenged him to get a y'all in there. Truel Fals did. He mentioned in an email chain that this is the biggest career opportunity of his life. He thinks this is his big break. So let's just encourage him and get behind him. Oh, we'll get around him. We might lose him, though. We might be gone the captain, but, uh... Jeez, they get around it here, though. This has got shades of grand final day about it out there. This was, I go in an hour ago to get a coffee, and they're about five pot-steaf in some pool. Oh, I've got a couple of on the net with some emotions and what are you going with boys? You've got a carton draft? No, you've got a carton draft. Haven't got a carton draft. Soak in us inside, I mean. We must have drunk him out of it last time, Felix. We must have knocked him over inside. They've got anything you want in there, mate. I'm telling you. You've got something on your agenda, though. I want to have a chat to you about foot-y if we can, just quickly.

Could next season we have up to six new captains? I think that Alex Pearce would look to move his captains. He wouldn't you think, given that he's aged, and the readiness for guys like Andrew Bracell or Caleb's are wrong to take over. I could see that. That's one. Would you see Nick Deco's taking over the captain's team next year? That's two. What about Jolong? Would they be looking to make a move? Could there be a short-term rent, Tom Stewart? Or would you think Max Holmes? I reckon danger stays. Stays is captain. I don't know if that's one of the six. No handover. I don't think so. I could be wrong. It'd be very close. Let's roll him in, he's three. You'd think that Sydney would look at Errol Gordon? Yep, well, Callum Elzane plan. So that's going to happen by default. Would Carlton look to transition to a Sam Walsh? I think it's perfect timing for Patrick Cripp's, isn't it? Last couple of easy career in Walsh's Reddy, that's five. And would Harley Reed be ready? It's a big challenge, but wouldn't he be ready? You feel like they need something fresh. Something new to get this club, this club absolutely bouncing.

Anc here own question, is he ready? I think he's ready. I'd love to say it, it's early and he'd need a bit of support, but I just think he's a pretty solid option. And you forgot one. Who's the other one? Who's the seventh? Well, Toby Green, aren't going to be Captain EJWS. That's 100%. Easy, unless he's doing it by Corus Vonner. It's going to be hard to do it from Jolong. They're not going to get all three, are they the cat? Oh, that's the question I keep getting asked. Did Jolong going to get all three? They couldn't get all three. Marshall butters and Toby Green? If they get all three, I don't want to ever hear its conversation about a salary cap again. Oh boy. That'll absolutely do me. While we're on the West Coast Eagles, do you think it's unfair to give minimum equal to a three-year period only to correct this club if they were not to extend him? What's your old saying? Rebuild coach never survives? I know he never survives, but don't you have to give him five years when you're picking up a bottom of the barrel

lot like he has? It's not in trouble, though, is he? Well, what would they look to extend him? They were called a middle-mast last night on midweek tackle, talking about it, and he didn't say on that promising. Yeah, I think he needs time. He needs time, a lot of time, potentially. I want to quickly talk about their neighbours, Freemannel. Okay, just quickly here. Nathan Broad is interested in playing for Freemannel, and Freemannel is interested in Nathan Broad playing for them. Now, I did catch the Richmond Premiership Defender. He was talking on the latest episode of Footy Infrains, and he said, I'm fit, I'm training, I've got an old Peter Birch program from 2019, I'm doing all my training. Would I take a call? I absolutely would take a call at the moment I'm retired, but I can tell you, he's had taken some calls, and I think they've been in pretty regular contact since he announced his retirement. So don't be surprised as a retired player at a contract retired player, whether it be pre-season supplemental selection period,

or late in the draft, Nathan Broad pulls on a Freemannel Guernsey next year, and if they get rolled tonight, Kingy, well, then that would even strengthen that case. So I could absolutely see Nathan Broad continue his career at Freemannel. Yeah, I think that's entirely possible. 33, yep, Freemannel Premiership Player. She's had a progressive move. I mean, I keep a lot of hear about from Freemannel, or about Freemannel is that their list is the best most perfect list you've ever built. To go to Nathan Broad would fly on the face of that. Only one player on a list of 45 guys. You're adding a 33-year-old that's retiring from... But he left the Dora Jardini. He left the Dora Jard at the time, and I think he's got an appetite to play at Freemannel. I think he's really interested, and I think it's been somewhat reciprocated as well. Okay, it would be a strange move for me. And just keep an eye on Jardin short, too, and I know we spoke about him during the week. I'd be really interested to see what Freemannel do here. I'd love your take on this. So last crack at a pure draft, I know they got picked two Freemannel, then Tazzie come in.

I know they've got a lot of kids, and they've had a lot of youth come through. Could they get a bigger foothold in the draft? If Collinwood do act on their... And they've considered Jardin short, if Collinwood do come knocking officially for him, would you do a deal, or can you scalp too hard there? Can you expose your list even more? And Adam Mouset, speaking about Coach's under pressure, that's him next year. He needs both sides of the Collin, doesn't he? Now, I think you just go for the talent. If you think you can get something really strong for Jardin short, then you go for it, and you're back here recruiters in to get the job done. But in saying that they haven't picked the eyes, they had a really important draft last year. Yep. All the year before. So they got the heat on. As a fully club, the heat is on Richmond right now. Just one other quick one before we get to the news, and then Felix von Holtz going to join us from Exo Sports. Just in regards to Nick Blakey, and a lot of uncertainty up at Sydney Rhyne. Now, any other Sydney player suspended by the Swans and obviously the subject now, but police investigations, that's Haney and Warner and James Jordan.

Clubs have been told by the OFL King that those players won't know their fate until after the trade period. So that's according to the OFL. So the league has made it clear to those clubs asking that it's very much barbewere. If you trade for this guy, and it comes back that he's in trouble with the law, or is D-registered, you hear that a bit or whatever it might be, then it's on you. So a lot to play out here clearly. So that will be really interesting to see what happens with Nick Blakey or whatever it is who becomes the subject of interested other clubs. So you're, St. Kilda, would you still trade for Nick Blakey knowing that there's a question mark or not? Answer your own question. You'd want to be doing as much homework as you possibly could, but there will forever be up until who knows and unanswered question there. And only Victoria Police know the answer to that, don't they? So, and then the OFL integrity off the back of it. And just for what it's worth, just what you hear around the traps, the word D-registered keeps getting used, which sounds severe and serious.

But if you do trade for Nick Blakey, take a bit of collateral to get him out of Sydney, even with all his going on. You couldn't do it. If you're St. Kilda, you couldn't do it. You couldn't just claim blow a first round pick on a guy that's no longer viable. And worse case scenario, and it's a big if he gets deregistered for six months, 12 months, then you're, you're stuffed. You're in trouble. You can't do that. You can't take that risk. Wonder what, Chenyue. This is fireball for Dexian. Unlock your warehouses potential. The latest innovations from Dexian. And for DDE, fireball says yes to going out after the game with DDE news headlines inbound in a bit of a, don't hassle the off. Feel like spawn off. Have a look at it. After that. Who isn't heading to the G today? This place is heaving. Great to have you here as well. Plenty of ballers around the Pullman. King E. Kane's ducked off a little bit early. He's got the biggest, oh, the biggest assignment in his career. That's how he, over at the MCGs. On the world fee today for the Niners and the Rams as their seasons get underway. But we're joined now at the moment by Felix von Hof. No stranger to the program.

Of course, no stranger to us. Yeah, but he's here on behalf of XO Sports. Want to know the result? Before it happens, you're free to join AR predictor for US Sports. It's Hof. Welcome. It's a pleasure to be here. Oh, oh, oh, hang on. Let's just get that mic on. Oh, God, I'm working for an AI company. And we've busted the tech already. Now we are here, behalf of XO Sports, you can see it all over there. We are an AI powered sports prediction app. And dare I say, the best one on the market. So we've been marketing a lot to America. It's gone absolutely gangbusters over in America. And we're pushing it through Europe and the UK. And we've decided we're based over here. So we may as well start pushing it over here a little bit. But the NFL is one of our big sports. And you know what we are? The only independently verified tipping service around all these other clowns. They verify themselves. That should be illegal. It should be illegal. But it's not somehow they can verify themselves. They're accuracy. They say, we're around 80% as is independently verified by a big consultancy firm in America. Well, okay. So for those unfamiliar, in a snapshot field, XOX is actually work. So we have pretty much what you would call

what investment banks use these quants. People that are incredibly intelligent have created this algorithm that predicts the outcome of sporting events. Now we did it across the NBA finals. Four out of five, we picked the underdog in almost every single game. So the bookies, all these other people, they've got their algorithms. But they're no good. Comparatively to what XO Sports has got. And I've been on both sides. I've worked both sides of the aisle here. And I'll tell you what, I jumped ship at the right time. Because the end is coming for these bookies and it's coming at the hands of XO Sports. So we've got the prediction for today. Listen, yeah, might not get any cashis with Sports, but after this one. XO Sports to the radio ratings. How would they have five? Fireball. This thing is, this thing is, got a laugh of a time. You're a radio show at S.H.E. at Selon Merch and people will laugh it up. They are absolutely laugh it up. So some people think I've ever seen. All right, so you know what's going to happen today? I do. That's what, no, not me. King is going to have a couple of ears at the pool enough for this. We don't need to go. You don't need to watch. But what does happen for those interested in the result? So the Rams win 27 to 23. And that is with hundreds of millions of dollars

worth of money poured into this algorithm. The Rams win 27. 27 to 23. This is real time. This is real sports. I'll m an act back to the future. I like it. I'm actually, I'm worried holding this information. That's why I want everybody else to have it. So people are coming from me. I think you can get it in the app yourselves. Real time. They've got hands all over me. It's real real. Real beef tan and back to the future. Yeah, I'll tell you what, I better be this score. It hasn't been going with the AFL. We haven't got the AFL yet because we've been very America focused and focusing on the cash cow that is. All right, tell us about this competition prize draw there. Oh, the competition. Yes, but we had a competition where you had to enter online. And let me just get the name up again. You could either win $5,000 or a punting session with Ben Graham. Now in this economy, I can imagine that they're probably going to go with the $5,000. No discredit to pennies and unbelievable man, but it's a tough economy out there. Even the kids are free merch while you're here. They have to pay for that. Callum Newton from Elham North. Callum Newton from Elham North. You have one either $5,000 or you can go and kick with Ben Graham.

He's going to be pretty filthy in futures that price. Listen, I reckon you can ring Ben. And for a thousand, you'll have a kick with it. You'll have to keep the other four pockets. You know, the worst thing. We set a punting session with Ben Graham. And people genuinely believed it was like a racing punting, like a lesson with a blog named Ben Graham to learn how to punt on the races. So we're happy that one worked out. But also, we got a raffle going for tickets to the Sian after party. This is a terrible coincidence. The number and color of this ticket. It is red and white. A number five is the winning raffle ticket for tickets to the after party. Is the person here with the raffle ticket red 05? No. What's the raffle? What's the raffle? What's the raffle? That is our city. That is Bravo. Have you got a ticket? He's in. Get him the prize. Two? For you? You can have the prize. I'm all for humour. That is good at gagging. You two won the after party. Today, the Sian after party. He won his own 40 clubs, kill come the best raffle. There was a lease that fleeced them for a Mitsubishi.

Yeah. He won an $80,000 car. Oh, it's completely, completely a bad board. That would have been a fraud. I'm all over it. I love it. Out of people get a hold of this app of yours. They download Exo Sports. Enter the app store wherever you want to go. The website, Exo Sports. It's gone absolutely nuts. We've got plenty of picks. You get free to use as well.

Lucky enough to be joined up on stage. Ladies and gentlemen, big round of applause for a two-time call field cup winning Jockey.

A Melbourne Cup winning Jockey as well. And a huge NFL fan. Mark Zahra is here. Mark. Welcome to have you. She's felt us. Great to be here. Now you are, you're just not just here for show. Speaking of pop for dough. You're the real thing. How many super bowls have you seen last few years? Four of the last four have been to. Yeah, love it. So you're a proper fan. Yeah, yep. Now is it right that you should have racing commitments come February? Would you say, how do you make that a work? Well, I ride. I usually, I don't ride in the last two races. I ride in the group one. And then I have a driver straight out the front, straight to the airport out of there. Not a minute to waste. No, no, no interviews. Nothing straight out of there. Get out of my way. You're bail early. Yeah, yeah. What was the pick of them over the four years saw? We definitely Vegas. Vegas when it was Rams or not Rams. It was 49ers chiefs. And Vegas is a great place to be. Lead-line Super Bowl week. So whoever I'm there was pumping. And then went overtime and the chiefs came back and won. It was my favourite. And how does Melbourne Cup winning Jockey become such a huge NFL fan? I mean, I know you're married in, so to speak.

Is that why? Now, I was in before. My eldest brother was a massive package fan growing up. So I've been watching it since I can remember. Just love it. Love the rules. Love everything about it. Bread five days. Yeah, that's right. Bread five. So he was a heavy package fan. So the opposition was the Vikings. Minisoda. So I've been a Vikings fan. It's one of the very few sports when you're a jockey and have to do track work that's on before you go to work. I know, but we're stiff because every Monday I have cram burn jumpouts. And I'm like, you can't even have L time. I got the barrier of likes with it. Checking the scores for me. And it's good. So where do you sit? Because Alicia Wife, she's Rams here. Big Rams, you're your Vikings. So how's Elise feeling about today? Well, we did a photo shoot during the week. And I had to put her 49ers jersey on. And I went to leave the house in as they said. Absolutely no chance. So she banged the scarf and Rams had on me. So, see how we go. So for those here, what are we going to get today? You've been to four super bowls. And I saw Ben Graham liking the build up and everything to this two super bowl, which actually shocked me. But what do you think? What are we going to get today?

100% super bowl vibes. Like I was in Crown the other day. Everyone's getting around with their jersey on. And there's a bit of a buzz. I'd be huge. I reckon the players will be right up and about for it. I reckon at the start, they're a bit flat thinking they had to come to Australia to play a game. Because most Americans think, you know, with that far away, I mean, it's one flight. Just you can do it. And I think it's going to be huge. Massive crowd. It's going to be huge vibes. It's a different sport to watch live, as this one TV though, isn't it? I've got TV, you see all the new ones. You see the trickery and all those sort of things. It'll be a bit more difficult to see from the stands today. Yeah, that's right. But you know, you get involved in the game. It's four, third down. You know, I'm not sure what they can talk over the last big here. But when you're there, they're like third down and three. And the crowd gets right into it. They've got to make a stop. And there's a lot more to cheer for when you hear compared to when home, I think. Yeah, love it. Now you're with Autumn Boy tomorrow, I think, aren't you? Yeah, it's true. That's right. You give it a chance. I reckon it's a really great playside.

I mean, she's out of my looks something out of the box. And this is sort of her distance range. So she's going to be hard to beat. But I don't know what odds I am for a place. But I think she, Autumn Boy is a definite safe place. And what about spring carnival more broadly coming up? We love it each and every year. Yeah, looking really forward to that. I've started a bit of form just as we're going into it. So I think I'm riding horse tomorrow in Boobay. So he gets to like a call more stakes, which I think he's a life-chance in. So if he wins tomorrow, which I expect to be very hard to beat, yeah. We're just talking a moment, I guess, sorry, about how you align yourself to a Melbourne Cup home and how that process goes. Just for those listening, tell us about that, June, how does that come about? Yeah, so it's sort of when you start getting an idea of the nominations and all that, you can start having a look. But because I'm a heavyweight jock, it is usually only. I think lastly, there's only two horses I could ride in the race. So I haven't got to just an open book of, ring for any horses going well. I've got a manager, I guess you know, in the Maracante.

Helps me a bit. So we'll sort of get a list of what I think I can get on. Look, I'd like to wait as close as... The best you can do is wait as close as you can because then you can see how they're formed and all that sort of thing. Sometimes you don't have a luxury to that. But yeah, I just sort of narrowed down. As it gets closer, I get a better idea and hopefully I've got a chance in the race and hopefully I'll ride the race as well. So it's a big time in the air for you. We know that. Can you let yourself go today and just have a cheeky hot dog? Well, no one's looking all... No, no chance. I'm actually filled with the races tomorrow. I can't really enjoy it. Usually a Super, that five beers boy. Yeah, I'm ready to go. But... It's torture. Yeah, I don't have to have a hot dog. I'm going to have a three days. Yeah. No, I'll just enjoy the game. I've got that many mates who have here around Australia. Like, catch up for a beer and I said, I'll block your number. Let me know once the race is done tomorrow and I'll talk to you. So, looking to be good to just... Hopefully just a great game. I'll enjoy that. But once it games over on Straight Home and I'll actually have to have a sauna tonight. Give us your expert opinion on how the game maps out of you. Have you ever think about it or not? Yeah, so look on paper. Rams are a much stronger team.

I've got a really good D. So I think the 49ers to win will have to slow it down. So they'll run the ball, a lot of little short check downs to Christian McAfry. But overall, I think Rams is going to be too good and I think it'll be a bit of a slow start but I reckon Rams will come home strong and get the better of them. They're happy to the boys. They're happy to look at the Rams here. Hey, great to see you, Mark. Good luck for tomorrow, clearly. And the spring carnival will be on and enjoy the game. Great to have you here. Yes, thanks very much. Good luck with the game. Good luck with the game. Mark Zahra, ladies and gentlemen, magnificent.
