00:01Music
00:13Get everybody welcome to the show, this is Matt Barton, Mr Harden, how good, great, glad you're with us.
00:19Everybody gets to play this weekend, it's absolutely magnificent, huge show to come tonight to kick off the season proper,
00:26joining us behind the bar very, very shortly, the AFL CEO, Andrew Dillard, get around and out of here, much
00:33better.
00:34And a man with one of the great CVs, he's got a massive announcement, he's coming on.
00:39Any ideas what it might be about?
00:41I'm going to say, it's the Twilight campaign.
00:44Do you reckon it might, oh let's wait and see, could be a front bar exclusive.
00:47A man also joining us tonight with one of the great CVs in footy, at 34 years of age, he's
00:53still going very, very strong.
00:54Jack Gunston's going to join us on the show as well.
00:58Great story.
01:00Yeah.
01:01And there is some news, just in case you're at all interested, the drip tray is back a little bit
01:06later.
01:09I'm going to get ready.
01:11Are you sure?
01:12Massive.
01:13Hey, that's good.
01:14Is it any changes or is it as per last year?
01:17Well, there's been, put it this way, there's some new questions.
01:20It's been unrecognisable, some of the, you know.
01:23A crease here and a crease there, something to look forward to.
01:25I don't know what that means.
01:26Okay, righto.
01:28Anyway, it's good to be here because it's been a...
01:30Oh, you've had a tough week.
01:31Nice.
01:31What happened?
01:32What's wrong?
01:32Well, you know, I'm not a big gambler.
01:35Oh.
01:35But, I know, although according to you, culturally you think I am.
01:39But, I, I'm not, I'm just saying that, I put a trifecta on last week.
01:46Oh, your box trifecta.
01:47Yeah, it's just not looking good.
01:48How'd it go?
01:49Well, it's just not looking good.
01:50I went with Carlton, Oscar Piastri and Iran.
01:57And, I don't know.
02:00Nice.
02:00So, we got the ticket for it.
02:02Well, we'll just say no.
02:03It's not over yet.
02:04No, it was all advice.
02:05The whole thing was all advice.
02:06I'll tell you, somebody who you should be having in the future,
02:09gamble responsibly, of course, but they were ominous on the weekend,
02:12the Gold Coast Suns.
02:13I mean, this has been coming and they were a big spruit going into the season,
02:16but they were absolutely magnificent on the weekend.
02:19A great hit out, first up, for the Suns.
02:23Although, a late injury, which hasn't been reported widely,
02:26which occurred immediately after the game.
02:28Right.
02:28Which may affect them.
02:30Here they are in the group.
02:31Go around shouting.
02:37Have a look.
02:37There he is.
02:38He's just clean.
02:41Now, he could be out.
02:42It's good to be refreshed when you get concussed.
02:45No, I'm sorry.
02:46That's all I can say.
02:48A young Gatorade shower, a prison ride in there.
02:50A young Zeke, you're all in a prison.
02:51Are they getting out of hand?
02:52Well, I think I can't cop those things,
02:54but everyone seems to have a good time,
02:55so, you know, let boys be boys.
02:57He is OK.
02:58Luckily, they've got another 42 first round draft picks
03:01to choose from if he's out under protocols.
03:04And just in case they didn't have enough,
03:05they got this bloke from Melbourne
03:06who's got a pretty good record and a reasonable career,
03:09who went very, very nicely first up in the Gold Coast.
03:12Christian Petrarca, 30-plus disposals,
03:15three goals, four to centre,
03:17through the middle of the ground.
03:18He was back to his absolute best last night,
03:21and if this is a sign of what's to come from him,
03:24who knows where he might be able to take this turn this year.
03:26I'll just say this.
03:28His spleen would have been proud of that game.
03:32He was good.
03:34Back to his zero best.
03:35I'm sticking.
03:36I reckon it's good on Melbourne for getting rid of a bloke
03:39who's obviously got only six or seven good years left.
03:43Gold Coast Suns, though, Murray.
03:45No, they were good.
03:45I think you said during the week that it's their premiership to lose.
03:48Well, I didn't quite say that.
03:49You said they'll go through undefeated.
03:51No, I didn't say that.
03:52I didn't say either of those things.
03:54Free beat.
03:55No, I didn't say that.
03:56Yeah, I'm sure you should.
03:57They will be hard to beat,
03:58and they may be in contention for the premiership at the end of the year,
04:01but there's a long way to go.
04:02Well, there you go.
04:03They dealt with Geelong.
04:04Yeah, they did.
04:05But everyone was happy to see Christian Petrarca back at his best.
04:09Oh, well, of course.
04:10If you love your footy, you like seeing good players in good form.
04:12Couldn't agree more.
04:12Well, that's our perspective.
04:14I don't think that after a 60-point loss that it's the best time to ask Geelong coach Chris Scott,
04:20though.
04:21He's a lover of the game.
04:23Were you sort of pleased to see him settle into his new home up here and play so well in
04:26Queensland especially?
04:27Yeah, rap for him.
04:28It's great.
04:33All right.
04:33Thanks a lot.
04:35All right.
04:36That's a big, big laugh.
04:38He's rap for him.
04:40Couldn't be happier.
04:41I'm rap for him.
04:42Couldn't be happier.
04:42You knew it was a spectacular result because here's sights you don't see very often.
04:46Have a look at this couple.
04:47This is the saddest couple I've seen.
04:51Oh, well, long way back to Geelong.
04:53There it is.
04:54And there they are.
04:55Oh, that's just sad.
04:58Oh, well.
04:59Do you know what they are?
05:01They are, I'm going to tell you right now, the second saddest couple.
05:05Second?
05:06Of the night.
05:07There they go.
05:08There they go.
05:11Oh, no.
05:13Oh, no.
05:16I'm just checking his contracts there at Tasmanian Devil.
05:20Look at that lot.
05:21How uncomfortable.
05:23No, it wasn't good.
05:25No.
05:25Not realising he's got to go back to Geelong.
05:27Anyway, there you go.
05:28Hey, opening round, of course, done and dusted.
05:30Not everyone's cup of tea.
05:31Is it?
05:31I can't keep up.
05:32Not everyone's cup of tea.
05:34Is it done?
05:34You're a fan of it?
05:35Is it opening round?
05:36Opening round?
05:36Yeah.
05:36Oh, I love going out for dinner and having an entree and then the waiter bringing me my
05:41main a week later.
05:42Are you a fan of opening round?
05:44What do you think?
05:44I do love opening round.
05:46I specifically love the opening game and I specifically love the third quarter.
05:50Here it is.
05:51Oh, yeah.
05:52This is...
05:53It's back, people.
05:54This is what we've been waiting for.
05:57Oh.
05:58That came round a bit quick, didn't it, lads?
06:02Welcome back.
06:02Buckle up.
06:03It's going to be a long year.
06:06I have a listen.
06:07Oh, that is so fantastic.
06:09It is a bit tough when your team has had more losses than there are rounds, Murray.
06:15Is that fair or not?
06:17And good to see the Carlton players finally hitting Charlie Curnow on the chest after all
06:25this time.
06:26All right.
06:26Well, I think that's a bit of an overreaction, Murray.
06:29I like to stay positive.
06:30A lot of teams will lose the city this year.
06:33They will, particularly up there.
06:34That's a very good point.
06:35They're a good side.
06:36Tough scenes to watch and a disappointed Carlton.
06:38Hossie asked if they could go via Dubai on the way home.
06:43Oh, Jesus.
06:46Mate, the throat of this clip's going via Dubai, by the way.
06:49Tough scenes to watch, all right?
06:51So it's for us to watch.
06:52But there was a disappointed Carlton team that returned to Melbourne Airport the next day.
06:56This caught a lot of people's eye.
06:57Harry Mackay there with a pillow.
07:02Which I think sleep's very important, Murray.
07:04I don't know.
07:05It was only a two-hour flight, but somehow we got eight hours sleep.
07:09What is that?
07:11Well, we lost, but we got contested napping is very important in a modern game, Murray.
07:19That's all I'll say.
07:20So, yeah, like, good pillow's very important.
07:22No, it is.
07:22He's not ever.
07:23Well, he was asleep for most of the second half.
07:26No, good night's sleep is very important.
07:28Should have used it to smother his opponent.
07:30That might have helped him get on the ball.
07:34It is unbelievable.
07:35A good pillow is important.
07:37It is.
07:37Although, this is the one thing I would say.
07:39I don't think you should be using it during the game.
07:41What?
07:41That's all I'll say.
07:42You should be using it during the game.
07:49We'll be fine.
07:51Murray?
07:52We'll be fine.
07:53No, we'll be all right.
07:54Don't worry about that.
07:55Tomorrow night he's going to bling his blankie as well.
07:59His little booties.
07:59Speaking of tomorrow night, it is the start of round one, of course, and the traditional
08:04round one opener is the MCG.
08:06We're all going.
08:07There we go.
08:08There'll be upwards of 80,000 there tomorrow night to see Richmond take on the board.
08:13Yes, indeed.
08:13We're all going.
08:14And you're there in an official, but you're working, aren't you?
08:17I am.
08:17I'm calling the game, yep, for Blues Radio tomorrow night.
08:21Everyone bring your pillows.
08:23No.
08:23No.
08:24Blues Radio tomorrow night on the SEN app.
08:26Of course, thanks to the good people at Booper, myself and Cooter and Angie and Sam Edmund
08:33will be there with a Blues bias call, and we've had some fun with this.
08:36That'd be good.
08:36You should get Sam Doherty to ring in.
08:40No, we don't.
08:41No, we'll just give Sam the week off, I reckon.
08:43How are you feeling about tomorrow night?
08:45Two words.
08:46Percentage booster.
08:49Look, obviously it's a bit alarming running into a rampaging Carlton outfit.
08:54Well, I don't know, I'll see how it happens.
08:57You're unlucky to get us after a loss.
09:01Congratulations.
09:02I wanted to be sincere for a second.
09:04Congratulations to all the kids, by the way, who are going to make their debut over the weekend.
09:08Oh, here, here.
09:09Yeah, well, to all the young kids out there.
09:13Yep, my words.
09:14A dream come true to be drafted.
09:16My words, yep.
09:17And, like I said, a dream come true to be drafted.
09:19And you can see it from the smiles on the young kids' faces on the night of getting drafted.
09:22Look at that, drafted up.
09:23Of course, unless you're drafted by Richmond, then it doesn't.
09:30That's like you at the footy when they serve you mid-string.
09:35I never seen it so sad.
09:37No, well, he's injured at the moment, young Sam Cummings, so we wish him all the very best.
09:41Don't worry about that.
09:41There were smiles all over the place of the footy on the weekend, particularly the teams that won.
09:45But celebrities came to flock.
09:48Steven Grant, who's one of the great actors of all time, the bloke on the left.
09:50And, of course, Tom Hanks, who was loving the footy.
09:53He's silly up there.
09:54And he met Andrew Dillon, of course, who's about to join us.
09:57At the GWS home game, there were more people on that island in Carstoway.
10:03There would have been for that home game.
10:05I reckon Tom Hanks would have rather been talking to a volleyball than Andrew Dillon.
10:11But, anyway, the, um...
10:12Well, no, that's not fair.
10:16No, we stand by that.
10:18They weren't the only celebrities who bobbed up over the weekend of the footy, too.
10:22There were some superstars who turned up at other games there.
10:25Superstars?
10:25Yeah, my word.
10:26Absolutely, there were.
10:27Oh, boy.
10:28And, uh, I'm talking about none other than, uh...
10:31Yeah, of course.
10:32Well, they were big celebrities.
10:34They were big celebrities, but Sway Lee.
10:36Sway Lee.
10:37Sway Lee's bigger than...
10:38Yep.
10:40Sway Lee's big.
10:41Massive Sway Lee.
10:42And, um...
10:43Yeah, Sway Lee.
10:44The Hollywood St Kilda game was the one that Sway Lee got to.
10:49And, uh, as you'll see, right...
10:51What's your point, sir?
10:53My point is this.
10:53Sway Lee was in the footy.
10:55When the cameras...
10:56Sway Lee.
10:57...spot Sway Lee, when they spot a big celeb...
11:00Yeah.
11:00...it's...
11:00The commentator's under a lot of pressure.
11:02...to come up with all the CV, just to, you know, to fill in the...
11:06Tell people who they are.
11:07And I wanted to say, Sway Lee was spotted.
11:11And I thought that...
11:12I thought that James Brayshaw...
11:15Well, look...
11:15James Brayshaw was involved.
11:16He was commentating, and when he saw Sway Lee, he did his best.
11:21Sway Lee, the rapper.
11:24Who's that, JB?
11:25Sway Lee.
11:25Sway Lee.
11:26Yeah.
11:2611 million followers on Instagram.
11:29I'm told.
11:30Sway Lee.
11:31Please.
11:3111 million, Brian.
11:32I'm coming.
11:333.5 million albums sold.
11:35She's a big deal.
11:36On International Women's Day.
11:41She's a...
11:41I...
11:42I think...
11:44She's a big...
11:45She's a big deal on International.
11:46Sway Lee, he's a big deal.
11:48Right, yeah.
11:48And, um...
11:50Also, uh, Sway Lee is a man.
11:53That's...
11:54That's all I wanted to point out.
11:56Well done, JB.
11:57Hey, it's an easy...
11:58He's had last two minutes.
11:59Went via Dubai.
12:01It's a long time to get there.
12:02We need to take a break.
12:03It wasn't scheduled.
12:04How good.
12:06On the other side of the break, Andrew Dillon, hey?
12:08I'll see you.
12:09Bye.
12:10Bye.
12:11Bye.
12:11Bye.
12:12Bye.
12:13Bye.
12:14Bye.
12:15Bye.
12:16Bye.
12:17Bye.
12:17Bye.
12:18Bye.
12:19Bye.
12:19Bye.
12:20Bye.
12:30Bye.
12:34Bye.
12:38Bye.
12:42Bye.
12:43Bye.
12:47Bye.
12:47Bye.
12:48Bye.
12:48Bye.
12:48Bye.
12:48Bye.
12:48Bye.
12:49Bye.
12:50Bye.
12:50Bye.
12:51Bye.
12:52Bye.
12:54Bye.
12:55Bye.
12:55The multi, of course. The multi's there every single week, just whacking away late in the show.
12:59So well done, multi.
13:00It's a trooper.
13:01It is a trooper.
13:02It's a trooper.
13:02Hey, another season's underway. What a magnificent way to get it underway last weekend.
13:08So much to look forward to. To look forward to round one with us, please make welcome
13:11the AFL CEO, Andrew Dillon, everybody.
13:16Thanks for coming on, mate.
13:17Thanks for having me. I'm going to be here.
13:20Let's start with a big one, Andrew. You said you were coming on to make a big announcement.
13:24Well, here it is. Andrew would like to announce there will be a Twilight Grand Final this
13:29year, and there it is.
13:32There it is.
13:33Amazing. What an exclusive time of it.
13:35Talk us through it. When did you come to that decision?
13:37You may have jumped the gun a little bit better.
13:39So look, I've been to many Grand Finals. I've been fortunate to go to many Grand Finals in
13:44my life, a lot during the day. I saw a Twilight won over in Perth at night.
13:49It was good, wasn't it?
13:49They're all great. They're all great Grand Finals. What do you guys reckon? When should
13:53it be?
13:54Well, as long as the fireworks are on during the day. I always like that. That's how it
14:00gets me.
14:00Twilight for me. But you did say you were going to make a big announcement, and you're
14:04going to, aren't you?
14:05I've got a massive announcement, of course.
14:06We've come prepared for this, so put up our ticker. We need the ticker here, and our watermark.
14:13So people will know, when this appears on the news, that it was broadcast here for the
14:17very first time. So cop that unfiltered. Here we go. Are you ready? Like, drop us. What
14:25have you got?
14:27So the pies at Marvel Stadium this year will be the same price as last year. $4.70.
14:32Whoa!
14:35He's enormous. That's enormous. Take the ticker down. Take the ticker down. Get rid of the
14:42little watermark. That's a waste of our time. But what are you saying? The same price as
14:46last year?
14:46Same price as last year. And that's a bombshell?
14:47$4.70. Cheapest pies in football. Cheaper than a servo. Cheaper than a servo? Cheaper
14:52than a servo.
14:55Chips will be $4 or $5. $4.90 for water. $5 for the jam donuts. $6 for hot dogs. So
15:01it's all good.
15:01It could all be free. You wouldn't get me to marvel.
15:07Hold on. So you're freezing prices?
15:09Freezing prices.
15:10Well, follow-up question. Why are you against a free market economy? Are you a communist?
15:16Well, we prefer sort of socialists in the United States.
15:19So they're the same price as last year. Are they the same price?
15:25Prices last year is my question. Are you? Because it sounded a bit suss to me.
15:30No, they're such good value. We moved plenty of them.
15:32Magnificent. Well done.
15:33And the chips? What about the chips?
15:34Chips, same price as last year.
15:35That's great news for the seagulls.
15:37That's really seagulls.
15:39And I'll make a lot of people very, very happy to hear that, Andrew.
15:42That was it. Really? You said I'm not so...
15:45No, you wanted an exclusive. I got you one.
15:48Who would have thought that the throw to the Sway Lee clip wouldn't be the low point of the month?
15:53Should we be...
15:54So you're saying that it's cheaper than at petrol stations?
15:57Are you just repeating everything else? What are you doing?
15:59I'm trying to big it up like it's a bombshell, mate.
16:02Totally. Good luck.
16:03Opening round, of course. We saw you in the opening segment of the program.
16:07Just hanging out with some of the...
16:09Look at that. It's like two Forrest Gumps.
16:14Have you got a favourite Tom Hanks movie?
16:17I reckon it's hard to go past Forrest Gump.
16:20He was pretty good in Turner and Hooch as well, I thought.
16:23Let's not talk drip tray stuff.
16:26You actually...
16:27What was he like?
16:29What did you talk about?
16:30Well, he said he watched...
16:32When he was in college, watched a lot of footy AFL on ESPN.
16:34So he said he used to like watching the Pies and the Bombers.
16:37He loved it.
16:38But he was...
16:38The first thing he said to me, actually, was...
16:41I recognise you from the big screen.
16:44What?
16:44I'd been on the scoreboard that day.
16:47Yeah, right.
16:47So he did actually recognise you?
16:50Absolutely.
16:50So that's what he said anyway.
16:52But no, he was a big fan of the game.
16:54And the Giants and the Hawks put on a ripper that first quarter.
16:5713 goals between the two of them.
16:59So it was great.
16:59Did you tell him about the price of a pie?
17:02Did you go...
17:04Mate, you're not going to believe that.
17:05We weren't at Marvel.
17:06What did you leave with?
17:07Did you ask him a question?
17:09Yeah, I asked him, what's he doing out here?
17:12Wow.
17:12Electric.
17:13Producing a movie, yeah.
17:14He's doing a movie?
17:15No, he'd been at the stadium the week before seeing Bad Bunny perform.
17:18And liked the stadium and wanted to come back and get his first AFL game live.
17:22Any announcement on Grand Final Entertainment, now that you've mentioned Bad Bunny, NFL, halftime?
17:27I'd go with Sway Lee.
17:28You got any leads on the Grand Final Entertainment?
17:31I can't give anything away, but Sam might be on to something.
17:35But you can confirm pies are the same process.
17:40Sway Lee!
17:41Mate, I've just...
17:42There it is.
17:43Put the tinker back up.
17:45There it is.
17:46Broken.
17:46Well, well, well.
17:47It's all making sense.
17:48That was a very good photo.
17:50It was, yes.
17:50This is a photo I want you to explain to me.
17:52What's going on here?
17:55Now, that is one of the biggest blocks of wood I've ever seen.
18:00And the tree's not bad on it.
18:02Ew.
18:04Now, I don't know who your media manager is, but he's had a shocker.
18:08No.
18:08That is...
18:09How's he allowed that?
18:10I've urinated on that tree.
18:13So, Jay got an official warning for that.
18:15Jay got an official warning.
18:17And that's a strike.
18:18As the photographers in now are thinking, you're going to look like a dickhead.
18:23You've had a busy off-season.
18:25Obviously, heaps of changes to the game.
18:26We'll talk about those in a moment.
18:27But the trip to India?
18:28Yeah.
18:29What was that all?
18:30What was the key for you going over there?
18:33Well, it was two parts.
18:34One was to talk to some Indian companies who want to do business back here in Australia.
18:38So, we had some really good meetings with them in Mumbai.
18:41And that was Republic Day there, Jan 26 in India.
18:44And then, at the back end of the week, we went to a city called Ranchi.
18:48And that's where...
18:48It's the hotbed of Australian football in India.
18:50So, we've got about 3,000 or 4,000 people playing footy in Ranchi, but also 10,000 all in
18:56India.
18:56Are they expats or are they locals?
18:57All locals.
18:58Really?
18:58All locals.
18:59And we had the national championships for India on that weekend.
19:03So, it was great to see the footy over there.
19:05True or false, you announced that the price of butter, chicken and milk was not going up at Mumbai Stadium.
19:12Is that...
19:15Well, it's interesting because you did say, I think, earlier in the week that you wanted to see it as
19:20an Olympic event at the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane.
19:24It's a great idea.
19:25Who are we going to play?
19:28Ireland, India?
19:30Ireland, India.
19:31Rest of the world.
19:33Yeah, we'll see about that.
19:34But, you know, the thing about the Olympics is that, you know, 1956, we had an exhibition game of Australian
19:39rules there, which went really well.
19:41And I think there's an opportunity for our sport to be played on the bigger stage.
19:44What format takes?
19:45I'm pencilling that in for gold, by the way.
19:47I'm just thinking we might have that.
19:49Well done, by the way.
19:50India, a game in India, I think, you know, smart move, riding the wave of the success of the games
19:55in China.
19:57But selling Aussie rules overseas, though, I would have thought would be quite tough.
20:03It's a tough game.
20:04Because it's just a hard game to explain.
20:06And Exhibit A would be, of course, Ross Oakley, who tried to explain the game, Andrew, to the Americans in
20:111989.
20:13VFL chairman Ross Oakley gave the handful of Americans gathered at the LA Coliseum some idea of the game.
20:20It's really a sophisticated game of keepings off.
20:23Have any of you played keepings off as kids?
20:26No?
20:28Fair enough.
20:28Well, I'll explain it.
20:32It's a hard sell.
20:33Tell me you went better than that.
20:36Slightly better when I was explaining it to Tom Hanks, but not much.
20:39Where were ice when you need them?
20:40That's what I'm thinking over there.
20:42Well done.
20:44We're all interested to see how the new rules would play out.
20:47There's a few of them.
20:50Internally, the conversation.
20:51What's your favourite?
20:52They all went pretty well, actually.
20:53I think, I mean, they did go pretty well.
20:55Small sample size, of course.
20:56But, yeah, you know, the scoring was up.
20:59Speed was up.
21:00Speed was up.
21:01Plenty of good footy.
21:02And, yeah, lots of scoring.
21:03You know, third quarter, Thursday night, first quarter on, you know, Saturday Twilight were amazing.
21:07But, yeah, it was really good footy.
21:09So, we're happy with it.
21:10My favourite one.
21:10I like the actual, you know, last disposal in between the arcs.
21:15I think it's good.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Origin's been a big talking point.
21:19And it continues to be.
21:20Tick.
21:20Are we...
21:21Well, the game was, wasn't it?
21:22The first one was.
21:23But, are we committed to it again in 12 months' time?
21:27Or are we...
21:27Is that yet to be determined?
21:29Yeah, yet to be determined.
21:30But what we do know, it was a huge success.
21:32The players loved it.
21:33You know, the fans loved it.
21:34We had over 58,000 people.
21:36Over a million people watching it on TV.
21:38So, it was...
21:39And streaming it.
21:40So, big success that way.
21:41But, we want to work with the players and the clubs.
21:43Just to make sure that we've got it, you know, in the right part of the season.
21:46Work out who's going to play.
21:47But, yeah.
21:48All the players to a person, you know.
21:50Had a great experience.
21:51Yeah, but of course...
21:52What's the other?
21:53Oh, yeah.
21:53The Suns only won by 10 goals against Geelong.
21:55Is it time for a priority pick?
22:00You must be happy with that result, yeah?
22:02It was a great opening round.
22:05It's always a joy.
22:06So diplomatic.
22:07It's always good to have Andrew on the program with us.
22:09Just to be clear.
22:11Pies are the same price as last year.
22:14Exclusive, yeah.
22:15Chips, same.
22:16Just in case you're not getting enough of the AFL CEO on the front bar, don't go anywhere
22:20because he's the specialist with Hamish McLaughlin on Unfiltered straight after us now.
22:25Andrew, that would have been a pretty, you know...
22:27It would have been an interesting chat, but it would have been a quick chat, would it?
22:29How long did...
22:30It was a half an hour episode.
22:31The chat went for eight hours.
22:32Hamish can't speak.
22:34Jesus.
22:35Eight hours.
22:36We've had to take your Harry Mackay pillow.
22:39He would have had to...
22:40There'll be a deep dive into your playing career, no doubt.
22:43You're an outstanding amateur footballer.
22:45We're a good footballer.
22:46There'll be a chat about your contribution to the game as a player.
22:49Yeah, I think there's...
22:49Yeah, we sort of cover a perverse of a few topics, I think, yeah.
22:52Well, you played for Olds Avery.
22:54How many games did you play?
22:55Played 290 for Olds Avery.
22:57That's a lot of games.
22:58Six premierships?
22:59Six premierships, yeah.
23:00Pretty good.
23:00I think it's a very good play.
23:01That's great.
23:06Four and five.
23:08Very fine player.
23:08No, fine player.
23:09It's great that you can...
23:10You know, many viewers would know that you actually did play at such a high level, and
23:13so, not only can we give the CV, we dug up some highlights of...
23:18Hey, you've got a highlight.
23:19Absolutely.
23:20Have a look at this.
23:20We can't worry now.
23:21Have a look at this game.
23:22Have a look at this game.
23:23This is a big, big, long goal.
23:24That's outside 50.
23:25Outside 50.
23:26That's not Andrew, but here he is tying up his shoelaces.
23:30There you are, mate.
23:31Look at that.
23:32Long stage.
23:34Long stage.
23:34Well done.
23:35Well done.
23:35He goes high on his left and his right.
23:38Always a joy to have you on the show.
23:40Good luck this weekend at the footy.
23:42Get the right team over the line tomorrow night, if you could.
23:44If you wouldn't mind.
23:46I'm sure it'll be umpired well.
23:47Thanks.
23:48Andrew and Dylan, everybody.
23:49We'll be right in the Haynes video.
23:50Join us on the show.
23:52Don't go anywhere.
23:53Jack Dunstan, you'll join us on the other side of the road.
23:56We'll get a photo.
23:57Yeah.
24:03Haynes CEO, Andrew Dillon, answers the big questions.
24:07What's the one change you'd make?
24:09I think what I would do.
24:11Unfiltered returns tonight.
24:13I think what we've got to do is continue to evolve.
24:15I want to make sure in 20, 30 years' time, we remain the game that Australians love.
24:19Unfiltered, tonight on 7 and 7 Plus.
24:27Welcome back to the show.
24:28It's the front bar.
24:29Thanks to Han.
24:30How good.
24:30Great to have you with us.
24:32Our next guest is putting together one of the great CVs in the modern game.
24:36Three-time premiership player.
24:38Multiple best and fairest.
24:39Multiple All-Australians.
24:41Won his last two of those last year at the age of 33.
24:44He is getting better with age.
24:46It's a joy to watch him play his footy, and it's a joy to have him on the show.
24:49Please make him welcome.
24:50Jack Gunston, everybody.
24:55Thanks for coming on, mate.
24:59You're in equal career best form, and you go back to 2010 for your first game.
25:05What do you put it down to?
25:07What is the secret to your playing so well after all these years?
25:10I haven't really left the 30 metres out from goal for probably the last season.
25:16But no, just a lot of diligence with my body.
25:19I got my body right.
25:20I obviously had a few back problems a couple of years ago, and I went off to Brisbane,
25:25and that didn't really work out.
25:26It was pretty much a gap year in the end, and came back.
25:29And yeah, I've just been able to, I don't know, get out in the park and get through the pre
25:34-season
25:34sessions, which I hadn't been in the past.
25:36What happened there?
25:37It's a bit of a weird episode, wasn't it?
25:38You're a Hawthorne legend.
25:40You go up there.
25:41It's almost like a lap of honour, or you're going up there, and then they go,
25:44no, we're good.
25:45And you go back to Hawthorne, where you've had one of your greatest years of all time.
25:50Yeah, I just needed a change at the time in my life, and I went up there, and you just
25:55hope things work out.
25:57And I was planning to be there for a few years, and possibly post-footy, and unfortunately
26:01it didn't work out the way I was hoping, and I was fortunate that Sam and Hawthorne were
26:05happy to have me back.
26:07Otherwise, yeah, I don't know where it would be.
26:09It's a great story.
26:09It's a great story.
26:10They've obviously missed you.
26:11They've won two flags since you left.
26:15The Fremantle Grand Final, tight, difficult conditions, tough day for footy.
26:19You kicked four.
26:20I mean, of all the accolades in your career, you're a bit stiff that you didn't get the
26:23Norm Smith that day.
26:24A lot of people thought you should have.
26:26Yeah, very stiff.
26:27Yeah, right.
26:29If I go back, I think Brian Lake won it, by a vote.
26:33I haven't spoken to Tony Shaw since, on the voting committee.
26:37And yeah, Matty Pavlich might have had 15 touches, kicked three goals, but I've moved
26:41on.
26:42Did you think you had it?
26:44Yeah, I had.
26:44Towards the end of the last quarter, you're going, oh, I'm in here.
26:46Well, Matt Sucklin, an ex-teammate, ran out, who wasn't playing in the game afterwards,
26:50and started calling me Norm, Norm.
26:52Yeah, right.
26:53And I had the Norman Gunson nickname a little bit, so it didn't really make sense.
26:57But he was like, mate, you're going to win it, you're going to win it.
26:59And I was like, oh, God, I need to think of a speech here.
27:02So I had a few things going through my head, and yeah, Brian's name got called out, so
27:05I didn't have to use it.
27:06Yeah, that's pretty flat.
27:07If you ever win it, thanks, Swali.
27:09There you go.
27:11A lot of people won't remember this, but you did start at the Adelaide Crows.
27:14Your first two years were over in South Australia.
27:17And for people who can't remember Jack, you didn't know.
27:19I did.
27:20I feel that miss.
27:21So when you see, yes, Jack playing for Adelaide, it's quite general.
27:25Let's relive one of his finest moments as an Adelaide Crows.
27:29They can close the door here.
27:31They can do it with Gunston kicking his first goal in AFL footy.
27:33He runs onto it, the debutant.
27:35It doesn't could be sweeter than that.
27:38Welcome to AFL footy, Jack.
27:41In hindsight, I think we should have just talked over that.
27:44Yeah.
27:46Unbelievable.
27:47Well, you played 14 games for the Crows.
27:50Played 14 games, yep.
27:52I haven't put on any weight since either.
27:53Oh, I know.
27:54But got rid of the blonde tips.
27:56And decided that just, what, you had enough?
27:58Yeah, every time I try to leave Melbourne, I seem to keep coming back.
28:02So, no, it was two years at Crows.
28:03Two years?
28:04Just won at Brisbane.
28:04And is it true you won, is it when you're best first-year player?
28:08Yeah, I did, yeah.
28:09Well, yeah.
28:09That's not a bad idea.
28:10I did win the award.
28:12And then there was a little miscommunication about attending the Best and Fairest.
28:17I said, just give me a call if you want me to come.
28:18They never called.
28:20And anyway, I watched the Best and Fairest.
28:22And yeah, my housemate, Daniel Talia, ended up winning my award and the TV that came with it.
28:30So, never got the TV.
28:31So, you won Best and Fairest.
28:32He's more upset about that than the Norm Smith.
28:35Must have won a good TV.
28:36So, you should have, I think you're announced as the best first-year player.
28:40And then they just say, you're not there, you're leaving the club.
28:42We'll give it to Daniel Talia.
28:44We'll give it to Daniel Talia.
28:45And by the way, Daniel Talia was good enough to send in this photo with your trophy and the TV.
28:50Isn't that nice?
28:51Good on you.
28:52So, lovely.
28:56So, obviously the club didn't take it well.
28:58What about the fans?
28:59I mean, if I know the Adelaide Crows fans, they would have been supportive.
29:02Yeah, a lot of supportive tweets and messages that I received from the Crows fans, as you would expect.
29:07Have you got a tweet that you remember?
29:10Yeah, there is one that I have kept.
29:12Took a screenshot at the time.
29:14Yeah, so, I may be reading between the lines here, but in the old days, I think that's what they
29:22called a death row.
29:24Is that, because tick, tick, tick, dead, dead, dead, and do it.
29:28I'm glad it's not ticked.
29:29So, it was, yeah, it was one that I had kept.
29:33Yeah, smart to keep.
29:33Can I just say that?
29:34That is a strong draft.
29:36Very good.
29:37A hundred likes.
29:39Like, one person penned that, but there's a hundred likes.
29:41That's terrifying.
29:42Mickey's gone quiet, because he's on the same page.
29:44You've always been a Gaddafi man.
29:47You think, in the redraft, you'd have your number one.
29:49You'd have your number one.
29:49Yeah, Salma did some good work, mate.
29:51Did some good work, mate.
29:53Hey, you, um...
29:54If you made me choose, EDM.
29:57Yeah.
29:57It's not.
29:58It wasn't there.
29:59You mean Chowchewski divide.
30:01Underrated.
30:01I'm a Pol Pot man.
30:02Have you got a favourite...
30:04Jack, have you got any favourite tyrants, or...
30:08You're still playing, aren't you?
30:09I'd stay out of this, Jack.
30:11Well, you are still playing, and you're in remarkable condition.
30:14You are the oldest.
30:16I mean, it's a fact that you're the oldest player on the Hawthorne list.
30:19How do you...
30:19And they're a pretty perky bunch of youngsters they've got down there at the Hawthorne football.
30:23How do you go with those guys?
30:25There's a few personalities.
30:26Yeah.
30:27You've got Jack Ginevan wearing a ring on the game on the weekend.
30:30Right over there.
30:30Do you know what he was doing?
30:31You just forgot?
30:32No, it's on his wedding finger as well, but I believe he's...
30:35Not married.
30:35Not married.
30:36So, yeah, you've got him, you've got Nick Watson, you've got the Weddells, you've just
30:40got a lot of personalities and...
30:41It's like a child-mining centre.
30:43Yeah, that's how I feel.
30:44What do you do?
30:45I ignore a lot of it, but look after him where I can.
30:47Do you understand...
30:48Not one word.
30:49Not one word.
30:49Not one word.
30:50No, stay out of it, stay out of the TikTok, stay out of the social media, it's just not
30:54me, Murray.
30:55So when you see this Jack, the photo of the young bloke, he was...
30:59That's you and Jack Ginevan.
31:00That's Jack Ginevan on the left.
31:02Is that...
31:04He looks innocent there.
31:05He does.
31:05Who knew that little kid would grow up to be a total dickhead?
31:10You know what I'm saying?
31:11Who knew?
31:15He's not a dickhead.
31:17But that is surprising.
31:18They say he would have gone to the game going, you're one of his heroes, and now, do you
31:22still have the same respect?
31:25Do I?
31:26Does he have the same respect as me?
31:27Does he treat you well?
31:28He treats me very well.
31:29Yeah, good.
31:30We're a very close to Ford unit.
31:31We've got Marby or Chole, and as I said, Nick Watson, there's a lot of personalities there.
31:36We let them flourish, let them do their thing.
31:38If they want to celebrate to the crowd, they can.
31:40But I'll continue to do what I learned back in the day.
31:43Nice.
31:44Excellent.
31:44Jack, it's...
31:45Everyone's happy.
31:46Yeah, everyone's happy.
31:46But I just wanted to say, we don't dodge the big questions on this show, do you know
31:50I mean?
31:51I know it's been fun.
31:52We've had a bit of a laugh.
31:53Oh, Sway Lee.
31:54No, no, no.
31:56We need to address the fact that there were two teammates of yours who brought the game
32:01into the disrepute with some questionable behaviour.
32:05Mate, I don't care.
32:06I don't care what I told people before the show.
32:08I've got to address it.
32:10Is this the scissor lift you're talking about?
32:11The what?
32:12The scissor lift.
32:13The players overseas who...
32:15No, I'm talking about Josh Weddle and Will Day.
32:18Show the clip.
32:19One of my favourite places at school was the library.
32:22Along with the Oval, of course.
32:23But then mum would take me to the library in the city sometimes.
32:27And that was next level.
32:29There's a wealth of information available in your local library.
32:32It's like a gym for your mind.
32:35You can do so much at your local library.
32:38But when you think about it, the best thing is you can borrow a book and take it home to
32:43read.
32:48That's what I'm dealing with.
32:49I know.
32:49That's what I'm dealing with.
32:50Well, mate.
32:52It's a book.
32:53You can read it.
32:55It's a gym for your mind.
32:58Weddle didn't even know those libraries was getting around school.
33:00You can have your Emirates and your BMWs, mate.
33:03In terms of endorsements, it's the sweet library money.
33:07That's what all the players are after.
33:10They're advertising a library, but can we have a look if you're reading the books?
33:14One of you's on the phone.
33:17He can't even be bothered.
33:19What's he on, Kindle?
33:20No, he's ordering a book from Amazon.
33:23Out of your teammates, who would spit?
33:25If there was one that was actually a regular frequenter of a library, have you got a teammate
33:29who might fit that bill?
33:30Yeah, so the two that answer all the questions in the meeting is Josh Ward and Max Ramson.
33:35So whenever the room goes silent, we throw to them and they've always got something.
33:38The library's like a gym for your mind.
33:41Correct.
33:43Favourite book?
33:45Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
33:46It just came up naturally.
33:48Is there one you love?
33:51No, I'm not a big reader.
33:53Sorry.
33:54See, drip tray in the wrong hands.
33:55By the way, by the way.
33:57Please spend more time down the gym.
33:59Josh Ward, of course.
34:00Alma mater of yours.
34:02Clifton Hill Primary Boy.
34:04How is that?
34:04Who cares about that?
34:06I went to that school, I don't even care.
34:08Right.
34:09Hey, what's it like being coached by a bloke, you played a lot of football?
34:13Yes.
34:13Is there a timeline of kind of adjustment it takes between you and he to get on the right
34:20kind of levels?
34:21No, I think the beauty about Sam was he always felt like a coach, especially when you're playing.
34:25Like, he had such an astute knowledge of the game.
34:28He'd challenge the coaching staff or the players regularly.
34:31And it just seemed like it was a perfect fit for Sam to become a senior coach post-footy.
34:37I reckon it happened probably even quicker than he might have thought, but he was ready
34:40for it.
34:41And as you've seen with our list, he's taken the club from down the bottom to the top very
34:46quickly.
34:47That said, I'm not sure you need a coach, because when you were at Brisbane, you took some of
34:50the decisions into your own hands and dropped yourself.
34:53I did.
34:54It's almost like the player that's about to get delisted, you just retire before that.
35:00So I saw it coming, so I thought I'll go in there and drop myself.
35:04How did that go?
35:05I mean, Chris Fagan's spoken about this.
35:07It was you and Daniel Rich, I think.
35:09How did that, how did you do that?
35:11What was the, what precipitated you?
35:13I think it's...
35:14Why don't we have a look?
35:15We've got the clip here.
35:16Okay.
35:17A two-game losing streak.
35:18A wake-up call for veterans Daniel Rich and Jack Gunston making the selfless call to
35:23drop themselves.
35:24Both lads came to me on Monday and wanted to have a chat about their football.
35:27They're not happy with the way that they're playing at the moment.
35:30They believe their form doesn't warrant selection.
35:33Rich has battled quad and calf issues, while Gunston barely gets out of a canter at training.
35:42That's why he's managed to play so long.
35:45I can't deny that.
35:47I was pretty slow up there.
35:49A genuine follow-up.
35:49I know we've got it.
35:50But when you left Brisbane, like you said, didn't it go that well?
35:53Did you think it was all over?
35:54There was a stage through that period where I thought my career was coming to an end.
35:58Wow.
35:59Well, your career's about to reach a high point on the other side of the break.
36:03We want you to stick around and you're going to be subjected on the other side of this
36:06Jack Gunston.
36:07Oh, boy.
36:07To the drip tray, which makes its return.
36:20Jack Gunston, our special guest.
36:22We like to call him here at the front bar the Wind King, don't we, Sam?
36:26Because he can kick goals.
36:27We've never called him that.
36:28Never called him.
36:29We just made that up.
36:30In the wind down there in Tasmania, Jack Gunston kicks goals from places that no human being
36:35there, a woman, has ever kicked goals from before.
36:37This last one.
36:38This is my favourite.
36:39It's unbelievable.
36:40He has to set it out eight metres left of the goalpost.
36:43That is magnificent stuff.
36:45That's brilliant.
36:47He never misses.
36:52Do you love the challenge?
36:54Do you love the challenge of working out the angles and when the wind's at its stiffest?
36:58Do you like the problem of that that it presents to you?
37:01Yeah, absolutely.
37:01And pre-game, I'll probably put up nearly 40 to 50 shots from all different angles just
37:06so I know at the top of my mark when I mark the ball and go back that from this
37:11pocket,
37:11this is what it's doing or this and that.
37:13So as you can see there, I don't pass too often so I'm going to have the shot.
37:16Oh, good.
37:17Why would you?
37:17Well, you'd be loving it out at Dingley because apparently it's a blowing, it's like a Category
37:225 out there.
37:23Worst decision the Hawks have ever made.
37:26I haven't really noticed the wind out there, Nick.
37:28I haven't noticed it.
37:29When a team that's been trading in Waverley moves and complains about the wind, you know
37:34it's windy.
37:35You're going to put up a $500,000 tarp or something, aren't you, just to keep the wind out of
37:39the
37:39joint.
37:39Is that what I read in the paper today?
37:41Yeah, I read that too.
37:42I'm not too sure, Murray.
37:44No, look, everyone has their challenges out on the training track at times and as you
37:47can see, it's not always perfect when you're playing AFL, so you've got to be ready for
37:51all conditions.
37:51No, you get it right.
37:52When the wind's at its toughest, you get it right, Jack Gunston, but you're facing big
37:56challenges in your AFL career, but you're about to face perhaps the toughest of them
38:01all because for the first time in 2026, apparently we've been hearing rumours, it's time now for
38:09Sam's Trip Trade.
38:20So you've been working away secretly, you've been behind closed doors, and you've promised
38:26an all new format.
38:28No, not all new, there's some, you know, something's working, you don't change it.
38:33Of course you don't.
38:33So I'm saying there's been some nice additions, there's new questions to a beloved segment.
38:41So what have you done?
38:42Did Jack know the segment?
38:43Well, we'll find out.
38:44Have you seen Trip Trade, Jack?
38:45I have seen Trip Trade.
38:46Right.
38:47So you know...
38:47I'm nervous for you.
38:53So if you haven't seen Trip Trade, there's just some quick questions, some punchy answers
38:57you can pass if you want, but it's just a little opportunity to get to know a little bit
39:01more about Jack.
39:02I love it, you know?
39:02I love it.
39:03Alright.
39:03But you can pass?
39:04Absolutely you can.
39:06He doesn't do that often on a weekend, though.
39:08Hey, all right.
39:11Jack, it's not all just silly questions.
39:13Toughest opponent?
39:15Harry Taylor.
39:16Well, what made him so tough?
39:19He was diligent and did his homework on you.
39:23So he just knew...
39:24He's what, Red?
39:24He was good on this segment, too.
39:26What was his favourite animal?
39:28Some kind of crazy bird.
39:29Yeah, he was, too.
39:31A guinea fowl.
39:32A guinea fowl.
39:32His favourite bird was a guinea fowl.
39:34His favourite bird, and Harry Taylor goes, guinea fowl.
39:36Sorry, Sam.
39:38Are you done?
39:39You could have heard a pin drop, which is not unusual.
39:43That's a good question and a great answer.
39:45What's your favourite bird?
39:46What are you doing?
39:48What is going on here?
39:50That's actually a good one.
39:51Hawk, Mick.
39:51Hawk.
39:53Hey, all right.
39:53That was your toughest opponent.
39:55Easiest opponent, Jack?
39:56That would have been James Cicely when I was at Brisbane.
39:58Oh, no.
39:59Oh, my God.
40:02Good answer.
40:03I actually didn't pick it going.
40:04What's the most you ever kicked in a game?
40:06Junior, senior.
40:07Seven.
40:08What?
40:09Seven?
40:09At any level?
40:09I think you're part of it.
40:10At any level?
40:11Cut it out.
40:11I wasn't that good at juniors.
40:14Seven?
40:14You've never kicked more than seven goals?
40:16No.
40:17No.
40:17This is unbelievable.
40:19What?
40:20I didn't think that was the question that would bring drip trade down.
40:25Surely somewhere you've got off the chain.
40:28Third aim.
40:29Seven and a quarter, I would have thought.
40:31Sorry to disappoint.
40:32That's all right.
40:33Well, you do disappoint.
40:34I'll tell you what.
40:34We can keep asking the same question.
40:35I think the answer's the same.
40:38Who was your idol growing up?
40:40Matthew Lloyd.
40:41Yep.
40:41Oh.
40:42Well, you're an Essendon supporter, weren't you?
40:43I was an Essendon.
40:44You're an Essendon mascot.
40:45It's true.
40:46You're an Essendon mascot.
40:47I was a mascot, yeah.
40:48What does that mean?
40:48A little fellow that ran out with the Essendon team.
40:51Yeah.
40:51Dad was the interim CEO for a while, so there was a few connections there.
40:54Yeah.
40:54Wow.
40:55Yeah, he ran out with the Essendon boys.
40:56I'm not used to the drip trade question getting an interesting answer, haven't I?
41:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:01That's awesome.
41:01Yep.
41:01Hey, first pair of footy boots.
41:05Nike.
41:07Right.
41:08Right.
41:08Yeah, Nike Tempos.
41:10There you go.
41:10See, I need it more.
41:11All right.
41:13See, is that the footy stuff done?
41:15Can I get to the...
41:16Well, you're the boss.
41:17It's your drip trade.
41:18All right.
41:18What were you hoping for from a first boot?
41:21Yeah, no, it's not...
41:21I mean, it's not great.
41:23What's he going to say?
41:23Let's go.
41:24Well, I...
41:24It was either that or favourite...
41:26Were they screw-ins or mould-ins?
41:27I had screw-ins.
41:28Yeah, right.
41:29Yeah, there you go.
41:29Yeah, well, that's...
41:30All metal.
41:32Who would have thought that wouldn't save it?
41:36What's your...
41:37What about...
41:38What else have I got here?
41:39I'm trying to work out...
41:40Is this me or you?
41:41No, no, no.
41:43No, no, you'll go.
41:43You'll go.
41:44You'll go.
41:45All right.
41:45You'll go.
41:46Let's just get to some old favourites.
41:48He's saving you at the moment.
41:49What happened to you?
41:49I thought you were going to give us some new.
41:51No, just a couple...
41:51All right.
41:52All right.
41:52Here's a new one.
41:57This is new.
41:58All right.
41:59Favourite nut?
42:02Cashew.
42:03Salty.
42:04Well, that's a problem, isn't it?
42:05It's not a nut.
42:07What?
42:07It's not a nut.
42:08It's not a nut.
42:09What?
42:09No, people think it's a nut or a legume,
42:12but it's actually called a...
42:13It's a...
42:15I think it's a droop.
42:16A droop?
42:17Yeah.
42:17Right.
42:18Anyway.
42:19So it's not a nut.
42:21So we're going to ask you the question again.
42:25What's your favourite nut?
42:26Peanut.
42:27Peanut?
42:27Yeah, right.
42:28Peanut's a good one.
42:29Are we allowing peanut?
42:30Yes, we're allowing peanut.
42:31Can you have...
42:31It has to be an edible type nut.
42:33It can't be a mechanical type nut, can it?
42:37Don't.
42:38Yeah.
42:39Like a what?
42:41Can I...
42:41No, you can't.
42:42All right.
42:43I can't say that.
42:43Right.
42:43All right.
42:44That was...
42:45First car.
42:46Holden Commodore.
42:47Ooh.
42:48Colour?
42:48What colour?
42:49The first toy.
42:50Metallic blue with a subwoofer.
42:51Ooh.
42:52Ooh.
42:52Real.
42:53You got that in Adelaide, right?
42:55I took it over to Adelaide.
42:56Yeah, of course you did.
42:56Changed the number plates.
42:57Right.
42:57Had to get rid of the Vic number plates.
42:59Of course you did, yes.
42:59First choice of armed robbers.
43:02That's true.
43:03Look it up.
43:04It's a fun fact.
43:05Second car.
43:07A Jeep.
43:08Cherokee.
43:09Oh, yeah.
43:10Nice.
43:11That's got club sponsor written all over it.
43:14Cheek magnet.
43:15Favourite food?
43:17Favourite food would be Japanese sushi.
43:20Mm-hmm.
43:22Japanese, also known as poor man's Chinese.
43:26I think we're ready for one last question.
43:29Whoa.
43:30Whoa.
43:30I think it's time.
43:31He's on a roll.
43:32No, mate.
43:32Hey, I'm coming out for dinner.
43:34What are you cooking me, Jeff?
43:35What am I cooking you?
43:36I will cook you steaks, ribeye, I don't know.
43:41Veg.
43:43What else do you want?
43:44Sweet potato chips?
43:45No, good.
43:45How do you have your steak?
43:46Medium rare.
43:46Yeah, good.
43:47And do you have it just condiments, or do you just like it?
43:50What would you like me to cook, Sam?
43:52No, no.
43:53You're not the problem.
43:54You're the problem.
43:54No, you're mustard.
43:56Are you a mustard-type operator, like a mix of mustard?
43:58Have a sauce.
43:58Did you hear earlier that pies are the same price as they were at Marvel?
44:02I did hear that.
44:03I did hear that.
44:04At Marvel.
44:04It's a bombshell.
44:05All right.
44:06I've just got a couple of quick ones.
44:08Just your phone etiquette.
44:09Do you answer or let it go to voicemail if Sam Mitchell rings?
44:14Depending on the day, if it's team selection, I'll let it go to voicemail.
44:18So on the first day, I'll let it go to voicemail, but normally I'd answer.
44:21But the heart rate's going.
44:22All right.
44:22What about if Buddy called you?
44:23Would you pick that one up?
44:24He's never had my number.
44:27All right.
44:28He actually, the only time he's messaged me was off Jordan Lewis's phone, and that
44:32was when I came to Hawthorne, and it said, welcome to the club, just don't get in
44:36my way.
44:39That's amazing.
44:40All right.
44:41How many more?
44:42One.
44:42I said one.
44:43I said it a while ago.
44:44All right.
44:44I was going to do favorite Ayatollah, but I'm not going to do that.
44:50What about your skin care routine, Jack?
44:53Do you moisturize?
44:55Do you exfoliate?
44:56Is there a toner involved?
44:58There is nothing.
44:59I wear hair product.
45:00I always wear my hair product, but in terms of my skin, there is nothing.
45:03All right.
45:03Let's finish with the big three.
45:08Holy Trinity.
45:10Jack Gunston, what's your favorite animal?
45:12It would be a hawk.
45:18He's perfect.
45:21Favorite color?
45:24It's the second in the big three.
45:26Blue.
45:26I thought he was going to say brown.
45:28Brown.
45:28Blue.
45:29All right.
45:30To finish?
45:31Yes, please.
45:32Here it is.
45:33Jack Gunston, what's your favorite vegetable?
45:37Vegetable.
45:38Vegetable?
45:38Yes.
45:39Favorite vegetable is a carrot.
45:45Cooked or raw?
45:48I don't care.
45:50Wrap this up.
45:51Oh, he's wrapped this up.
45:52He's just wrapped this up.
45:53I've got one last thing or one last thing.
45:56It doesn't matter.
45:57It's midnight anyway.
45:57Hey, I've got one last thing.
45:59Your mum's influence.
46:00Can you explain this?
46:01Your mum's influence.
46:02Can you explain this image to us, Jack?
46:05Your mum's a wonderful influence.
46:07What's this?
46:07Yeah, so this, my 250th, we probably didn't think, as I said before, I'd make another milestone
46:12with the way the career was going.
46:14So, mum made a few stubby holders for everyone, and it said 501 tackles on there.
46:19That was a stat that no one believed that I'd ever done.
46:22It's true, though.
46:23Happy?
46:23It's true, yeah.
46:24So, I was second to the football 501 times.
46:26Right.
46:27By the way, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing.
46:30By the way, your mum did one as well, Mickey, for your 300th appearance on Front Bar.
46:35She did one as well.
46:36Have a look at that.
46:37One million sip of beer, 50 paternity suits, five sackings, three vegetables, and no visits
46:45from your mum.
46:46No visits to your mum's a tough one to finish, anyway.
46:49Anyway, and that was, that was, that was, that day.
46:57Hey, Jack, you were, you're outstanding.
47:02You're outstanding, Drew Trey.
47:04I think you really saved the lad tonight, so well done.
47:06Hey, you're part of, not only part of a great Hawthorne team, but maybe you're part of
47:10Channel 7's horse racing crew, which is outstanding.
47:13How long have you been, how long have you been interested in this, Caper?
47:16Yeah, I've loved horse racing for, oh, probably a good part of, sort of, 12 years, and I started
47:22owning a few, and only recently we started breeding a few, so I've been able to link my
47:26two hobbies and my two passions of footy and horse racing, and we're going to try and
47:30tell a few people's stories along the way, and link what we can between the footy and
47:33racing sort of element.
47:34Fantastic, you love racing, we've got a picture of you here with a horse called Giga
47:38Kick.
47:39Great horse.
47:40And I believe that's your jockey there on the right.
47:46Who's that?
47:47Yeah, that's the apprentice, Nick Watson.
47:50Nick Watson, he's a bit short for a jockey.
47:52Hey, mate, thanks.
47:53The wizard?
47:54Yeah.
47:56Thanks for coming on.
47:57Good luck, Miss Hawke.
47:58Good luck to the rest of the year.
48:00Jack Gunston, what a player he is.
48:02Magnificent footballer.
48:03Great to have him on the show.
48:04We're here for Han.
48:05How good?
48:06On the other side of this, the Maltese.
48:21Welcome back to the show.
48:22This is the front bar for Han.
48:23How good?
48:24Jack Gunston, magnificent.
48:26He's got a big game this week coming up against Essendon.
48:28The Zach Merritt game is going to be very, very interesting to see how that game plays
48:32out on Friday night.
48:33At the end of that game, either way, Zach Merritt's singing a song.
48:38That's very true.
48:39He's going to get booed by everybody.
48:42Both sets of supporters.
48:44Kicks off tomorrow night, Carlton and Richmond, of course.
48:46So many good games to look forward to.
48:48West Coast Eagles supporters, just hang on to your hat down there at the end, going up
48:51to the Gold Coast Suns to finish the round.
48:53So we wish you all the very best, Eagles, for 2026.
48:56They should ring in six.
48:58I don't think they should ring in six.
49:00They should all drop themselves.
49:01And they've got some fine young players and a lot to look forward to this year and beyond.
49:07They're not going to win many games, let's be honest.
49:09Time now for the Multis.
49:17All right, let's get straight into it.
49:20Let's crack on into the first round.
49:22Now, a huge blow for the Lions at the Tribunal.
49:26Harris Andrews copped a three-match suspension for this incident against Bulldog's Artie Jones.
49:32Have a look.
49:32Swinging arm.
49:33Here it goes.
49:33Bang.
49:34Yep.
49:35Just close it behind and bang.
49:38No, that's sweet.
49:39We used to call that a shepherd back in the 80s.
49:44I'd like to wager his technique has improved since this effort in 2024.
49:48Have a look.
49:49Here he comes.
49:50No.
49:53He just doesn't.
49:54Oh, no.
49:57That's what happens when you work hard at training.
50:00Yeah, yeah.
50:01Can I have it?
50:01No, you can't have it.
50:02But how about you take young Jaggersmith or Bluebackers to have 12 or more kicks against
50:07your mob, and you're going to have $1.46.
50:09I don't like it, but I'll have it.
50:11All right.
50:11Now, second leg.
50:13After weeks of hype leading into their season opener, the Saints rolled out this brand new
50:19pre-match ritual for the crowd, for the fans.
50:22No!
50:24No!
50:25No!
50:25Who's that?
50:27No!
50:27No!
50:29Who's that?
50:32Knock, knock.
50:34Who's there?
50:35I'd like to wager another loss for St. Kilda.
50:39Is that fair?
50:40It's terrible.
50:42You can't have it.
50:43You can't have it.
50:44But what about you take Rory Laird, the desk, to have 26 or more disposals against Collingwood,
50:50and he can have $2.01.
50:51Why would Nick Riewoldt do that?
50:53I don't know.
50:54He loves St. Kilda.
50:55But he can say no.
50:56Oh, well, he loves St. Kilda.
50:58I've spent too much money on players and not enough on pre-match entertainment.
51:02Clearly.
51:03Third leg.
51:03Yes, points.
51:04All right.
51:05You be the judge.
51:05But I'm not sure this dog is the biggest fan of getting its nails clipped.
51:09I don't know.
51:09Yeah, we'll look at it.
51:10Mr. Oakley.
51:18I like to wager.
51:25It's a dog or a fat elephant or something.
51:27I'm always going to say it's a multi.
51:30What?
51:31What are you talking about?
51:32I love the dog.
51:36The sound of you just speechless.
51:38Well, you've kind of killed it then, because I needed to come in hard off the back of the
51:42clip.
51:43Oh, play it again.
51:44Off the back of the clip.
51:44Play it again.
51:44Play it again.
51:45Well, I can try it now, but they're not going to laugh, because you really need to see the
51:50dog and understand that the dog...
51:52No, no, I'm going to go for it.
51:58I can't remember the clip now.
52:01Play the clip again.
52:03There it is.
52:04There's the dog.
52:06Oh, God.
52:08Oh, God.
52:15I'd like to wager.
52:17That dog has left nothing in the tank for when it gets his balls chopped off.
52:24Well done.
52:25No, it was good.
52:26You did well.
52:27I like it.
52:28You can't have it.
52:29I was right to go back, wasn't I?
52:30Oh, mate.
52:30You can't have it.
52:31When you circle back for a joke, you really...
52:34No, it was good the second time around.
52:35I love it.
52:36You can't have it, but how about you have Sam Flanders had 28 or more against the Ds,
52:41and you can have $1.66.
52:43Let's boot this baby home.
52:45Now, trainers take a lot of care looking after their horse, but I think this guy is taking
52:49a little bit far.
52:50Here he is in the park.
52:53With his horse.
52:55It's just a couple spending time together.
53:01There it is.
53:02Oh, yeah.
53:03It's looking good.
53:06I'd like to wager.
53:07It's great to see Charles and Camilla really enjoying a couple of days in the park.
53:15Immediately after that, he got the jigger out.
53:17So, yeah, it has...
53:20Can I have it?
53:21No, you can't have it.
53:22But how about you have Ben King to kick four or more against West Coast, and you're going
53:26to have 2.15 for that.
53:27What do you reckon?
53:28Bag it up.
53:28What have we got?
53:29There it is.
53:29This will be good.
53:30Come on, Sportsbet.
53:31There it is.

54:23Welcome back to the show, The Last Shout.
54:26And it goes for a dear friend of the program.
54:31She sat in her seat and hosted a few front bars on the way through.
54:34Mel McLaughlin, who I'm sure a lot of people you know around Channel 7, of course.
54:40She, tonight, told us all that she'd been diagnosed with cancer.
54:43She's been fighting that battle since December.
54:46Emma, despite finding out that she did have cancer, she stuck through the Australian Test
54:51Summer, hosted the Boxing Day and the Sydney Pink Tests.
54:56She's a trooper.
54:56She's a star.
54:57She's a great person.
54:59She'll get through this.
55:00Mel, if you're watching, on behalf of everybody here at the front bar, our thoughts are with
55:04you.
55:05All the strength in the world to our team.
55:12She's an absolute star and means a lot to a lot of people around this place, as does
55:17a man who I know you want to mention tonight.
55:19Well, we do.
55:20He's leaving us after a long tenure here at the program.
55:24Kingy.
55:25Josh King.
55:26Have we got a camera?
55:27Swing a camera.
55:28There he is.
55:30Come out.
55:31Come out.
55:32Sit on the bar.
55:34Take the posse.
55:36Josh, for some time now, has edited a lot of our stuff, but you won't recognise him
55:41from that position, of course.
55:42He's also, for your enjoyment, been involved in a few walk-on roles for us over the journey,
55:48so wish him well.
55:50We've put together a package of some of your finest moments in front of the camera, Kingy,
55:54on this program.
55:55Please enjoy.
56:55Oh, God.
57:04It's not Joel, it's Josh, but it's clearly not that important.
57:08Now, can I just say...
57:12It's like you've edited that, by the way.
57:14I spent my last week doing that.
57:20The other thing is, by the way, there's...
57:21Yeah, good luck, but the other big news is that there's obviously a position available
57:25here at Front Bar.
57:26If you have an IQ of less than 80, you could easily step in.
57:32No, you're heading over...
57:32Why not?
57:33You're heading over...
57:34Where are you going?
57:34I'm heading to UK.
57:35Yeah.
57:36Yeah, so I'm heading there to play cricket.
57:39But yeah, I've been here seven years and I've absolutely loved it.
57:41So you're putting that above working on this program.
57:45My time has come, but yeah, no, seven years here and this is the most time I've spent with
57:49the three of you.
57:50So thank you very much for that.
57:52I really appreciate it.
57:54You're heading...
57:56You're heading...
57:58You're heading over there on a plane, I take it?
58:00Yes.
58:00Yeah, not a great time to be flying.
58:03No, not.
58:05Anyway, good luck, mate.
58:06We're sure to be ready for that.
58:07Careful, I've got a really bad feeling about that flight.
58:09I do, I do too.
58:11I almost missed my flight because drip tray went so long.
58:16That's all.
58:19We'll all miss you.
58:22I've always appreciated your lack of attention to hygiene.
58:26Have you got any thank yous?
58:27No, thank you to you through.
58:28I really appreciate it.
58:29It's been an absolute pleasure.
58:34And there's a mountain of people behind the cameras that no one sees.
58:38It's just such a good crew to work on.
58:40So thank you.
58:40Back to us.
58:42More importantly, you three, Moon's 50.
58:44You're a star.
58:44Thank you very much.
58:46All the three best.
58:47What about some tears or something?
58:48I teared up in the package.
58:50Nice.
58:51They didn't get too big on me, Sam?
58:53No, it got too big on me.
58:55Well done, mate.
58:55Thank you for everything.
58:57You're super proud.
59:03Thanks to Andrew Dillon and Josh Gunston joining us on the show.
