MIDWEEK RUB | Your Questions Answered: Brad Scott's Future, Is Damo's Muscle Car Sustainable, Opening Round

This is the midweek rub.

Sometimes you go looking for the stuff,

and sometimes it just comes across your desk.

Triple M rocks footy.

Well, the pilot is done.

So it's now, it's time for your listener questions.

You can submit them via our Instagram story on a Tuesday.

This one comes from Dean Gillor.

A boy is its dean.

Um, I know Daisy's thoughts are pretty strong on this,

but I'm wondering about your purple and Joey.

Um, we're on zero, but it just be scrapped.

We get back to round one and just have the majority of games played into state.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, I think we should be just having everyone play.

I think if we still want to focus on the Northern state,

we have them as the big Thursday Friday marquee games.

I'm happy with that to give them the exposure.

But yeah, I just think it's, it's just makes the season two sort of choppy and hard to follow.

It does.

It used to be pretty novel.

Wasn't it to have all 18 teams play in the very first round of football in a season?

No, I couldn't agree more.

This one comes from James.

Today's bell is long suffering bombers fan here.

Went to the game on Friday night.

They're feeling pretty disappointed as usual and it seems like if we perform like that.

Maybe for the next few rounds, uh, Brad's head might be on the chopping block.

Just a quick question for purple, uh, regarding all of the elite coaching talent.

That's around and not affiliated with the club at the moment.

Wondering if you've heard any whispers about horse longmire,

what he's planning to do next, uh, and whether you think there might be a possibility

of, uh, Essenden being able to acquire his services.

Cheers boys.

Love your work.

Uh, just on the specifics of horse longmire, I don't think he's going to,

as good as these credentials are, uh, of one time premiership when he coach in a four times.

Unfortunately for him losing grand final coach,

I don't feel he's going to appeal to every club that needs a new coach.

I'm not, I don't see a link personally to Western.

I haven't heard a link interestingly enough.

Again, I'm not, I don't, I don't think Brad Scott's under an immediate pressure,

but he's got a two-year contract for remaining.

He needs to get some form of result this year.

Um, interestingly enough, the board I overseen now by Andrew Welsh did see the insolven

go off being a board of director on the board to an assistant coach this year.

There's still a lot of love.

And it comes from Kevin Shede down for him to, to be in the mix at some stage.

It's an interesting backdrop to the whole bomber situation,

but to answer our call this question, I don't see Brad Scott immediately in the gun.

The bombers won't be as bad as what they were for the entirety of the year.

They were okay for, well, they can't be.

No, but in terms like they're learning team defence,

which is something that they haven't had the full list doing.

There was clear breakdowns in it and against the side that moves the ball as good as anyone.

So they'll get opportunities to work on it, continually grow.

I don't think they'll be opened up as much, hopefully not, as we go forward.

So hang in there, bruddles.

Joey, there are a few former coaches waiting in the wings.

You've got Ken Hinckley, you've got Adam Simpson, Nathan Buckley.

It says a few around.

John Longmaw, there's a lot of, there's a lot of good coaches.

It'll be fascinating if that conversation ever does arise about Brad Scott and someone else,

whether they go back to Western and people or whether they go.

It's going to be another circus.

In the bomber suit, Brad a couple of years, because they said this is going to be tough.

So we're going to back him in for a little bit.

They did, but that was under David Barham's, David Barham's three years of messes

in charge of that club.

And he initially had 26 only on his books, he down had 2027.

So as we speak, two seasons.

Yeah, but I understand the different region, different region,

but also doesn't mean that the plight should be any easier.

A couple more questions.

This one's from Tom.

Hey, Lads.

On Thursday night, I was listening to Isaac Smith in KMAC,

talking about how more and more players are starting to flop.

So my question is, do the AFL need to take some action and hand out fines for staging?

Joey.

No, no.

Just I just love to see umpires just have a bit more feel and just tell them to get up,

which they did a couple of times.

I think it was opening round of players.

Flop Tom Lynch might have done it once.

And the umpires just said to Tom and get up, get up.

I like that.

Just say no.

We're not paying a free kick.

Get up, move on.

Tom Lynch was again involved Thursday night.

And he flopped or got pushed over three times.

Yeah, that's sorry.

That game.

Yeah, he did it back once though.

And the other part, so there's the annoyance.

So yeah, just unless someone's actually swinging

arms, play on.

And the final question comes from listener Pat.

Good day guys.

Daisy, I saw you in sister story the other day filling up your gut with diesel.

But my question is, for Daymo, considering the price of fuel,

will you consider trading in the Mustang for an EV?

Seems pretty on brand for you.

Cheers.

It is.

It's a Camaro, not a Mustang.

It's hold 72 litres and it drinks.

I think it costs me five dollars just to start up every day.

It's becoming a concern.

Pat?

Yes, good question.

Well, it's about $190 bucks to fill it.

Hmm.

Wow.

I mean, you're straight racing.

That doesn't help it.

No.

You'll click off the mark, though.

Make sure you submit your questions next week for the boys

when you see the Instagram story up on Tuesday.
