0:00
This is the midweek rub.
0:02
Sometimes you go looking for the stuff,
0:04
and sometimes it just comes across your desk.
0:06
Triple M rocks footy.
0:07
Well, the pilot is done.
0:09
So it's now, it's time for your listener questions.
0:12
You can submit them via our Instagram story on a Tuesday.
0:16
This one comes from Dean Gillor.
0:20
Um, I know Daisy's thoughts are pretty strong on this,
0:23
but I'm wondering about your purple and Joey.
0:27
Um, we're on zero, but it just be scrapped.
0:31
We get back to round one and just have the majority of games played into state.
0:37
Yeah, I think we should be just having everyone play.
0:39
I think if we still want to focus on the Northern state,
0:42
we have them as the big Thursday Friday marquee games.
0:44
I'm happy with that to give them the exposure.
0:46
But yeah, I just think it's, it's just makes the season two sort of choppy and hard to follow.
0:51
It used to be pretty novel.
0:53
Wasn't it to have all 18 teams play in the very first round of football in a season?
0:57
No, I couldn't agree more.
0:59
This one comes from James.
1:00
Today's bell is long suffering bombers fan here.
1:04
Went to the game on Friday night.
1:07
They're feeling pretty disappointed as usual and it seems like if we perform like that.
1:13
Maybe for the next few rounds, uh, Brad's head might be on the chopping block.
1:18
Just a quick question for purple, uh, regarding all of the elite coaching talent.
1:23
That's around and not affiliated with the club at the moment.
1:27
Wondering if you've heard any whispers about horse longmire,
1:31
what he's planning to do next, uh, and whether you think there might be a possibility
1:36
of, uh, Essenden being able to acquire his services.
1:42
Uh, just on the specifics of horse longmire, I don't think he's going to,
1:45
as good as these credentials are, uh, of one time premiership when he coach in a four times.
1:50
Unfortunately for him losing grand final coach,
1:52
I don't feel he's going to appeal to every club that needs a new coach.
1:55
I'm not, I don't see a link personally to Western.
1:57
I haven't heard a link interestingly enough.
2:00
Again, I'm not, I don't, I don't think Brad Scott's under an immediate pressure,
2:03
but he's got a two-year contract for remaining.
2:05
He needs to get some form of result this year.
2:08
Um, interestingly enough, the board I overseen now by Andrew Welsh did see the insolven
2:13
go off being a board of director on the board to an assistant coach this year.
2:18
There's still a lot of love.
2:19
And it comes from Kevin Shede down for him to, to be in the mix at some stage.
2:24
It's an interesting backdrop to the whole bomber situation,
2:27
but to answer our call this question, I don't see Brad Scott immediately in the gun.
2:32
The bombers won't be as bad as what they were for the entirety of the year.
2:35
They were okay for, well, they can't be.
2:38
No, but in terms like they're learning team defence,
2:40
which is something that they haven't had the full list doing.
2:42
There was clear breakdowns in it and against the side that moves the ball as good as anyone.
2:46
So they'll get opportunities to work on it, continually grow.
2:50
I don't think they'll be opened up as much, hopefully not, as we go forward.
2:54
So hang in there, bruddles.
2:55
Joey, there are a few former coaches waiting in the wings.
2:57
You've got Ken Hinckley, you've got Adam Simpson, Nathan Buckley.
3:00
It says a few around.
3:01
John Longmaw, there's a lot of, there's a lot of good coaches.
3:03
It'll be fascinating if that conversation ever does arise about Brad Scott and someone else,
3:07
whether they go back to Western and people or whether they go.
3:09
It's going to be another circus.
3:10
In the bomber suit, Brad a couple of years, because they said this is going to be tough.
3:14
So we're going to back him in for a little bit.
3:16
They did, but that was under David Barham's, David Barham's three years of messes
3:22
in charge of that club.
3:23
And he initially had 26 only on his books, he down had 2027.
3:27
So as we speak, two seasons.
3:28
Yeah, but I understand the different region, different region,
3:31
but also doesn't mean that the plight should be any easier.
3:34
A couple more questions.
3:35
This one's from Tom.
3:36
On Thursday night, I was listening to Isaac Smith in KMAC,
3:38
talking about how more and more players are starting to flop.
3:41
So my question is, do the AFL need to take some action and hand out fines for staging?
3:48
Just I just love to see umpires just have a bit more feel and just tell them to get up,
3:52
which they did a couple of times.
3:53
I think it was opening round of players.
3:54
Flop Tom Lynch might have done it once.
3:56
And the umpires just said to Tom and get up, get up.
3:59
We're not paying a free kick.
4:01
Tom Lynch was again involved Thursday night.
4:04
And he flopped or got pushed over three times.
4:09
Yeah, he did it back once though.
4:11
And the other part, so there's the annoyance.
4:13
So yeah, just unless someone's actually swinging
4:19
And the final question comes from listener Pat.
4:23
Daisy, I saw you in sister story the other day filling up your gut with diesel.
4:27
But my question is, for Daymo, considering the price of fuel,
4:30
will you consider trading in the Mustang for an EV?
4:32
Seems pretty on brand for you.
4:36
It's a Camaro, not a Mustang.
4:39
It's hold 72 litres and it drinks.
4:42
I think it costs me five dollars just to start up every day.
4:45
It's becoming a concern.
4:47
Well, it's about $190 bucks to fill it.
4:51
I mean, you're straight racing.
4:53
That doesn't help it.
4:55
You'll click off the mark, though.
4:57
Make sure you submit your questions next week for the boys
5:00
when you see the Instagram story up on Tuesday.
