Damo's Recovery | Bevo's Dogs, Suns Flop, Calsher Dear & JB vs Eddie | Rush Hour with JB & Billy

Razor Ray I don't know how much you've had to do with huy over the journey DMO a little bit little bit no no man more passionate about football in the Colton football club so he's wandered in today still talking about a squared ball that cost the blues the and the and the no what not the umpires I did a couple of years ago I had to you know Ray Chamberlin razor Ray Raz so I mean I used to and Ray knows he alwaysed to hate Ray lot of people did you know now he knows this but then he got me to do one of mental health charity nights and um and I got to know Ryan I really like Ryan he's a beauty he's a beauty so but after not yeah like after Carlton got beaten by Collingwood in the in the last round not last year but the year before yeah I had to ring Ray and I had to send him some some clips from the game I had to ring Ray what's your decision and Ray was had Ray made the decisions or you ask had May Ray the no Ray hadn't made the decisions he had nothing to do with that game you want him to give I wanted his I said just be honest let be honest ray and and look he did say yeah they're all fair decisions I didn't I didn't like what he said I worked was it one or two years with hu wasn't at its strongest point in that particular period of time was it hu it was on the down wasn't it look it was still a lot of fun though it was a lot of fun a lot of pressure though wasn't it the moment there was issues but there was some of them you know was I like it mean we had tough F speaking of under Luke Beveridge & the Bulldogs the pump yes where are we at with Luke beverage and what's going on with the Western B yeah it's hard to know exactly what they're doing I think there's mixed messaging coming out of that footy Club in terms of what AM Banes the CEO Jim said uh more than a year ago about his expectations on there being a top four outcome for that footy club and that didn't even transpire to a finals outcome last year started this year again with more expectation huy and it's just is not transpiring that way for them um the loss on the weekend yesterday to Hawthorne was really bad so 35 score line the wins they've had have come against Gold Coast West Coast and they got Sina on a low night as well um lost to Melbourne jalong Essen and freem manle and Hawthorne and I think there's enough people in footy to telling you telling us all that there is a enough good players on that list to be a far better performed team to this point so what do they do I mean for me when they play well they play really well you know what their best is is capable of beating anybody it's just the regular production of that will be frustrating the coach let's listen to it through Luke beverage's uh eyes Jim now he has got a contract that runs until the end of next year in the club I think rightly backed him in for that point now people can have their views I've had my views on Luke but I felt huy he done enough after seven completed Seasons after 2021 at the stage they Rec contracted him sorry to have made two grand finals now the last two seasons at this stage are not going well but post match yesterday um this is what he had to say Al you you guys can dictate The Narrative we know that um unless you're winning games of footy you're always vulnerable to meor scrutiny and so so we just expect it it's the nature of the industry as I said before I uh I got a thick skin I can deal with it but I won't let it affect the way that I care for and manage the playing group so Luke darc is the football director on the board and you know him Jim as well as anyone and and equally we at Triple M know he's not going to be one to back away from the commitment they've made to him so any talk about is the future of Luke beverage going to be decided within season I'd be highly doubtful that that's the case so I I just cannot see that he doesn't coach right through at the very least until the end of this season and the way he prepares Luke bar he will still be thinking at three and five this season is retrievable now I think other people have genuine views on that and and I do too I didn't tip them for what it's worth to make the eight but at three and five I think they've got a real battle on their hands I was there last night or yesterday late yesterday afternoon and uh just I was at the top of uh just general admission there's no bad seat at Marvel St by the way there's no bad seat there is but you could see I I'm not an expert but they they have too many tall forwards I mean when with with Jamara coming back in and you've got is it samaron Norton there Sam Sam Darcy who's going to be anything you think yeah yeah it could be it could be one of the problems they've got and there there's a stubbornness to way but all to get too many together yeah it's a huge game this weekend they play the Tigers yeah so they don't want to be dropping those not to a two that's one and seven just jumping around a couple of topics the Brisbane Lions have now Brisbane’s injury list got five players on their current books with ACL damage and the latest two were link McCarthy and Charlie Gardner sorry Darcy Gardner who went down early yesterday they had their names on that ACL list to will asoft kadan Coleman and Tom duday who hadn't even get to play a game for the footy Club it's a lot now it's they have occurred at the gabber these incidents um you you reading something into the well it's a question yeah now K Carman you called the game I think for seven now that was in a kicking motion so I think you almost take take that out but but same game docky went down in the same game opening round this year with with a knee so I just know the way footy clubs work I'd be surprised if they said anything publicly too strongly about this but we know the way they dot eyes and cross tees particularly when this is happening they they'd have to ask the question of themselves but is it a surface issue I only ask you this because I've done a couple of games up there and the surface is magnificent yeah I I would agree it's just a strange look it might just be the greatest Coincidence of all time but no other club's got five at the moment and if you throw in yeah and again take common out of it because that was the kicking motion that someone came across his body so but still it's a lot it's a big number and then you've got the wonderful story that that part of their injuries yesterday because we saw stovich taken out of the game before it even started with saus answorth copper head knock they were down to only one Logan Morris’ strange debut rotation Logan Morris came in having played in the vfl that day it was driving to the ground you probably caught up with sui bought the Angus uh meal deal at McDonald's threw six nuggets in as well got to the ground and a frappe and a frappe got to the ground had some of the soup that all players get have if they want and then was told you going to go play and R another another 10K in the game in De game four shots of goal for one3 well Mack is they do ads with AFL players don't they there's your next ad it's good for you you get historically get Well's he gone 24 nuggets 995 unbelievable at the moment he only got the uh the six I think he said he's gratefully not not the 12 on top of the burger and the chips and the coke that famously happened I re it was to a a jalong player years ago Tony Armstrong when playing Forwood it was eating a hamburger wasn't he or a hot dog in the stands and then got called down I think it was part of fal's prettyat thousands AG right more it's a three segment y a triple threat actually before we do though I need to raise something with you someone's had a go at you in the last half an hour oh really yes join the I'm just getting the audio teed up a very big name hu someone that's as big as it gets and Jim Jim's annoyed Two Friday night games him now purle I like this you've gone a bit Rogue on us you just brought agenda items in well there are um have you caught up with the fact there's two Friday night games this week why is that it's because of Mother's Day being on Sunday and the lack of attendance historically on that day so they've now brought one forward so you've got um jalong versus pade and freem man to V Sydney there's a crossover of times but there's two on the front Friday and then there's only then two on the Sunday as oppos to normal three what time is the the early Friday game early Friday is at 7:10 which is earlier than normal half hour earlier time by the way it's good for you on the Brad oh that's the bad bit but the good bit is that it's and the one in Perth will start 6:30 local time 8:30 Melbourne time yeah do you think there's a is there a possibility we'll we'll end up with two Friday night games going forward in some future deal I would doubt that I would doubt it from a from a um a key slid and wanting to give the fu I'm looking at the AFL website here it says 6:40 p.m. that can't be right what's a CS that's aday time oh my God 640 is too early yeah we don't need to be he still light tell that you are you're it thinks you're an adelite it does how's that but it's got the right time on my bloody computer I don't understand keep going anyway crowds through the roof another record round for the third time this year 400 000 plus tazzy team whatever Tassie team approved opposition literally was left that being the opposing political party the labor party has signed off on the approval for the the stadium if and when it gets off and running but that was a a potential stumbling block which has been removed so now it's going to be built we just don't know well when are we going to turn the first sod it's uh it's more than a year or it's about a year since it was officially announced that nothing has happened phally when is the team meant to start where they started the existing grounds that hu was going to be 2028 as a possibility I'd be surprised if it was ready for 2028 and the stadium will not be ready for 2028 so but they can play in the existing stadiums as a team they could do that yeah if if the stadium was going to be one to maximum two years away from that point they would probably still look to start in 2028 but um I think with every passing day without a without a sod being turned without a CEO being appointed brenon Gale is still expected to be that person let's get to some footy I I just loved Nick Daicos what Nick deos has done obviously to this point of his career but what he's done in the last 3 to four weeks has just got better every single week a 03 start to the year they were on the back forth they were lethargic they couldn't work get what was going on but they just returned to their basic basically from round four onwards or their fourth game onwards and have not lost since the draw to won as part of that five match sequence and their win against Calton on the uh Friday night just gone was as good a performance as have had at any stage of I feel anyway Craig mccrae's time at the club so they're back it's just they started with a 03 score line which will be problematic at some stage but not if they continue to play the way they did on that night and he's he's back to his absolute best I love what Q Clash Dan Zoro did last night for the Lions they just needed someone to stand up amongst all that adversity with injury that we just discussed I thought Josh Dunkley's role also on Matt ra primarily and other parts of that game were were great as well and the suns were pathetic I thought they were really ordinary is it there it they still feel like there's an issue with the Suns that they they just don't win matches they uh they not expected to win and there's not many of them they just continue to meander through Chris Fagen last night he cops a lot of heat I feel at times and I've I've critiqued it as others have for the lack of I suppose being adventurous within a game and preparation for it but he backs his man and I I think he had reason to be really happy as he was last night it's one of the more amazing and courageous wins well I think it's the most amazing and courageous win I've ever seen to be honest by any group of players I've had anything to do with and I'm just so proud of them you know they're out on their feet this just shows a great great deal of character and it will go down in in our club as one of the one of our greatest ever wins is what I believe I I don't think you can look at it in any other way you can get caught up in a motion can't you but it's a big statement that is well especially when you look at it on paper it's a it's a home win against the go Coast Suns who haven't played a final in their history so you're not taking on jalong who are undefeated and finding a way to beat him but you're going in with a two and five score line and another last basically putting a line through the entire season and then you hit with what they were hit with where you had one rotating player for the best part of uh two and a half quarters it was it was a very good performance I'm a [ __ ] fan by the way I I I reckon he's a real point of difference in the coaching ranks yeah no he's great but dimmer Hardwick would be he must be really angry was he angry afterwards or was he we'll go we'll go there now um he was I Same old Gold Coast mean the wins they've had huie to the conversation we had a moment ago Richmond Adelaide um Hawthorn and West Coast so all at home all at home yeah yeah um North Melbourne's coming up so yeah in in um I think Darwin on the weekend upcoming so they'll probably end up with five wins after the first nine games and it's probably you know where they where they're at but they just don't beat teams above them on the ladder in a regular way Sydney love what Sydney v GWS they did against J gws the one of the great peculiarities this year is how they lost to Richmond back in round five but they did rampy returned after some injury I thought he was outstanding the coaches acknowledged that in the votes have just been released but they gave a resounding 10 out of the possible 10 to Chad Warner's game um The Usual Suspects were also prominent in Heeney and Grundy's having a great year he might be as he has been before twice a all Australian Ruckman with Max gone I think he I feel he has become the or is the second best Ruckman to gone already this season he just needs to maintain it uh heywoods four goals in that win were another good performance Zachy Meritt Zach Merrett & Essendon Jim we've talked about a bit uh three goals against West Coast they needed him to perform to that level because Scott's playing making him play a much better brand of footy by the way all that stuff running around the back and kicking sideways and backwards and you know he drew the eye of footy people because of the way he was playing I I love Zack Meritt as a bl by the way re and he's a ripper but I reckon Brad's got him playing much more direct straight out of stoppage taking the ball forward his me his gain are up on what it was before and kicking goals kicking goals required to win in all Australian form there's no question also ESS and in that's a good win over there yeah yeah so they are and the draw against collingwood's looking better and better the bombers are in a really good place had that really bad match four weeks ago against Port out but they've been excellent since they've used that they've drawn on it break C purple have you still got something you're teasing something we are going to tease it it's it's a big name that has t tried to take you down today and you've tried to take him down the previous week and we're going to we're going to get there soon the audio loaded audio audio loaded we need a response from you JB cuz this will lead news.com this is this definitely they to know what it is first and then I can give a JB vs Eddie McGuire response huie we in the media love a a few don't we we I certainly do anyway on the journalistic side of it and I rais that because I think we've now got one right in front of us involving one of our own James in the schoolyard when you you hear there's a fight you you gather around and and you go fight fight fight so quick quick set up to this one quick set up to this one this Feud is I don't know what you're about to play I'm not involved in a feud that I'm involved in Ed said some things about your Club your North Melbourne Football Club of which you were chairman of for nine seasons and Safe 10 yes that you didn't like 10 sorry I you there that you didn't like and and you had to just a little go back at him on uh talking footy last week when you said name him name him it when you say people are saying North Melbourne should go out of the competition presid I thought it was a good response Ed though today he does a podcast with Jimmy B and uh it's unfolded this way so James brw he was quite defensive wasn't he yeah he was a little bit angry they are a club that has at least twice and I think three times tried to get a merger up they have changed their name a away from North mour they have had unsuccessful foray into CRA into Sydney turned it back on the Gold Coast and into Tasmania so at some stage the competition says enough with the no and give me a yes somewhere where you going to say yes I will cook dinner there are plenty of presidents of Clubs who do not want 19 teams he he wants you to name names I'm not going to name I have to ask that question do I agree with them no have I argued against them yes so my point is and it's not just Ed Caro loves doing it too they just have this catch all phrase of well I've spoken to presidents and once you say that sentence you can then say whatever you want cuz you don't have to prove that you've spoken anybody L's body language I same as what I say to Caro and anyone else that used that sentence is name them about the great Sam y used to tell us that story about Bob marrow in the jalong rooms name him name him just put a name to them so if there's a Shaw vers mire there's a president that doesn't want North Melbourne in the competition just tell us who it is because I guarantee before I finish on this I guarantee you if they do give that person's name out and then Mitch clear man the mass i warrior wanders up with a camera and a microphone and says my understanding is you don't want North they would go oh no no that wasn't me that said that but Ed did say then he doesn't agree with these presidents who want North Melbourne to merge or relocate do you do you believe that Ed yes I always thought Ed was very Pro the Melbourne clubs so you think that Ed does want North Melbourne to stay in North absolutely no I have no issue with it on that front all I do is all the only issue I have with anyone is this sentence of I know presidents well who are they purple look I get myself in those conversations too but I know what you're saying that there would not be one person prepared to put his or her name to the death of a football club we went down that path in 1996 and the commission and the administration have said ever since that will never happen again while we have the money we've got in the game there is no chance we'll allow an establishment Club not to exist and also North Melbourne are they don't have debt is that fair to say no debt got rid of that and there's other clubs we don't have to name there's other club do have debt oh some have got's got horrendous de name anyway we move on from that we you know as well as I do that Ed and I don't have any issue but I like I like to just keep people I did see your body language though just up your body just went really tight veins in your neck I Haden seen I liked it too do it on Wednesday night I tell you Fremantle are going well he's going well better than people are giving them credit for his freem metal yeah they had that one Horror Show against West Coast yes but the other seven games they've played they lost two by tiny margins in Adelaide they've won the other what five or six I reckon they're going very nicely and the two pride of that game against West Coast were matches they probably could Ur won against p andon and they had the the luck of the draw go gain sing those games yeah Hayden young was a key part of what they did on the the weekend and their ford lines had a lot of criticism and and it's valid but Jo is going to be a star Tracy my man I was going to say Josh Tracy is the one who's really given it some stability so niely done let's go Hawthorn’s win to the Hawthorne story too we mentioned we have reference James Sicily's role he got shoulder mate I was there when his shoulder popped out and I did not think we're going to see him again maybe for the year but he was off for about 10 minutes he came back onone he got his head hit and then his ankle was Jarred up he was limping around he then asked um Sam Mitchell to go forward in the last quarter had a very very good conversation with Blake Hardwick who he swapped rolls with effectively went down took the mark and kicked a key goal but equally big story out of out of the game was the selection of kha dear who was the son of Paul deer 1991 nor medalist and and and and person who who passed away some years ago now his wife Sheree and Kel's mother Sheree runs dead to Hope as part of that cause and then spoke postmatch after Kel Calsher Dear’s debut kicked two key goals in this big win how was your emotion and I guess the level of Pride that you have being up there in the stands and watching your boy do what of course your your great husband did as well I look I'm not often speechless but I really was and um very emotional after seeing the first goal and just really wishing Paul could have been here to see it as well but I can say that now that he's had the I didn't want him to feel upset beforehand about that but yeah it's a really emotional day but I'm so proud of your mental composure C to be able to go out there and do that in your first game it's a lot of pressure on young shoulders but I think you're just like Dad your mental toughness and just ability to you know just take things on your shoulders and do your best isn't it beautiful too on every your homes there on Triple M40 with that yeah I I know Sheree and yeah I've had a little bit to do with the charity and I was texting her from the ground and I I videoed the moment he kicked his goal yeah she's gone back pretty good start hey well the one kicked in the it was the last quarter wasn't it one earlier one ear and the long bomb from the yeah to again keep them in front was a great because they wanted to initially bring him into the game with either Mitch Lewis or Mario Cho there but they both R available they had to expose him in a very very big way and he stood right up Jake Waterman as we let you go Jake Waterman has turned into Peter sumage I'm going with uh Fraser Gary I think he looks the same and it's starting to play nearly as well as him with key forward unbeliev it's unbelievable cuz he was in hospital this time last year with with a doubt as to whether he'd play the game again let alone come back this year and become a key part of what is a significant Resurgence of a formerly Mighty Club be friend of my third nephew on Mark side who reckons he's one of the alltime great BL to Jak Waterman so I'm very pleased for him well done purple thanks good seeing you I've spoken to presidents they reckon trip threat di every weight D threat I like it
