00:03You wouldn't have seen this in today's news.
00:08Is this man the next AFL CEO?
00:11Revere, I think you have met my husband Wayne,
00:14head of Next Generation Academy.
00:15You're trying to fill the Next Generation Academy yourself
00:17with the wife of the bloke who runs it.
00:19Without going into too much detail,
00:21I haven't been able to bring her to Climax for two years.
00:23Listen, we are a results-based industry, so I want results.
00:28So pull your collective fingers out.
00:30Especially you, Premier.
00:31Digits fully extracted, Alistair.
00:34You've got to get an AFL stadium built.
00:37I mean, who's running this state?
00:39Yes.
00:46We want a stadium, we need a stadium.
00:50The Stadians have had a bloody gutful over your stadium!
00:54And you can stick it up your bum!
01:09Happy birthday, Merlo.
01:10How about that, eh?
01:13Yeah.
01:15There you go.
01:17Have a good day.
01:18We'll celebrate tonight with a Pinot Noir and a deer antler.
01:32You work for the great Southern Footy Club.
01:35Now, Destiny, you can't keep being the Premier's crutch.
01:37If you'll pardon the expression.
01:39I'm cool with it.
01:40All he said was he needs to talk to me about some problem at the stadium site.
01:43Oh, God.
01:44Keep me uninformed.
01:45All right.
01:46Anything else?
01:46Yes, me please.
01:47I would just like to firm up numbers for this Wednesday night's Glittering Season launch.
01:52Who is bringing a plus one?
01:54Alistair.
01:55No.
01:56Nope.
01:56Luke.
01:57Nope.
01:58Nope.
01:58Hugh.
01:59No.
02:00Lovely.
02:00Jamison.
02:01No.
02:02No.
02:02And Destiny.
02:04No.
02:04Terrific.
02:04Should be fun.
02:05It's actually no extra cost to bring a partner.
02:08Does that change things for anyone?
02:09No.
02:10Lovely.
02:11I need to get you two to the studio.
02:13Yes.
02:13It's you guys and Bishop Harmon for the conversation hour.
02:16He's anti-stadium, yeah?
02:17He thinks the stadium site should be used for public housing.
02:20Right.
02:21Because the church haven't got any real estate they could use.
02:24I close my eyes and see you before me.
02:28I can't tell my mind is I'd do anything for you.
02:33You lot are the second biggest holders of real estate on the planet.
02:37Do you mind if the heathens have a couple of acres to themselves?
02:39Do you know what?
02:40We can't get Tasmanian government funding to renovate our crumbling cathedral because
02:44most of the budget is going to build your cathedral.
02:47Well, maybe that's because the Tasmanian team playing Collingwood just shades mass at
02:51your cathedral for tourist appeal.
02:54This is 936 ABC Radio Hobart.
02:58Mornings with Libby Kitcher.
02:59And welcome back to the conversation hour.
03:01My guests are AFL CEO Alistair Penfold, Great Southern Football Club CEO Hugh Shen and
03:06Bishop Francis Harmon.
03:07And that link is up on our website now if you'd like to donate to the Cathedral Restoration Fund.
03:13And Hugh and I are both in for $50.
03:16Well played, gentlemen.
03:17Alistair Penfold, some people get annoyed that the AFL seem to take a stance on every
03:22socio-political issue.
03:24Is the AFL too woke?
03:26I think because of the demise of institutional religion in this country and all the unfortunate
03:32problems it's faced, as the bishop would be very familiar with, I think a lot of Australians
03:36now look to the AFL for guidance.
03:38With spiritual guidance?
03:39Well, moral guidance, at least, on issues like diversity and inclusion, for example.
03:44So you really do see yourselves as a religion?
03:47Well, I'll say this much.
03:48I can at least prove the AFL exists.
03:50I don't think Bishop Harmon's done that with God yet.
03:52I mean, we're not for a minute comparing ourselves with God here.
03:54I think that would be wise.
03:56And let's remember, God still draws more people on the weekend than the AFL does.
04:01Well, he's got more venues though, hasn't he?
04:03But as more and more churches are converted into nightclubs and housing and we get a spanking
04:07new stadium here, we'll be hot on God's heels, I'm sure.
04:10Bishop.
04:10I don't think God spends much time worrying about the AFL, Libby.
04:14No, no.
04:15He, she, or they, or even all three, given it's the Holy Trinity, would be worrying about
04:20the institutionalised corruption in their own church.
04:27But Tasmania's football club finally debuts on the national stage this weekend in the
04:31VFL, Libby.
04:32And we're making several big announcements in the lead-up.
04:35We'll be unveiling the first of several statues of iconic Tasmanian footballers, which will
04:41eventually ring the stadium.
04:43The first one handpicked by yours truly.
04:45And?
04:46And we'll announce the sighting of a very talented son of a gun Tassie footballer.
04:51Oh, sounds very positive.
04:53Well, thank you, everyone.
04:54And next up, oh, Sonia's back to solve all your stain problems.
05:04So good seeing you guys happy together again after the fling with Revere, I mean.
05:10Oh, and hey, no judgement here.
05:13He is a hottie.
05:14I'm sure Wayne won't mind me saying that.
05:16Yeah, we moved on from all that, Angela.
05:17Yeah, yeah.
05:20So, with the way the AFL's father-son rule looks like applying to our club, if a Tasmanian
05:26has played 100 games for an AFL club, which obviously you do for Geelong, Wayne, we can
05:30take his son as a father-son selection.
05:32And so, we can advise you today that when your boy, Kadinia, becomes eligible for the
05:38draft, it is our intention to claim him under the father-son rule.
05:41Yay!
05:42Isn't that fantastic?
05:44That is so great.
05:46Thank you so much, Luke.
05:47Thank you, mate.
05:47Oh, you are welcome.
05:48Good on your one.
05:48Mate, cheers, mate.
05:50Oh.
05:51Sorry for crying.
05:52Not at all.
05:53Could Geelong claim him too, though?
05:55Yeah, but now he can choose to stay here and live out his AFL dream in his home state.
06:01Yeah, he's going to be absolutely stoked, Luke.
06:03Great.
06:04All right, if I can just get a quick snap before the press release.
06:07There, there.
06:08Lovely.
06:10Oh, honestly, you would never guess one of you cheated on the other, would you?
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:25Merlo?
06:27Merlo?
06:34Merlo?
06:36Merlo?
06:48Have you had any sort of ransom demand yet?
06:51Nothing.
06:52I'm so sorry, Hugh.
06:54And you're sure she hasn't just run away?
06:57After writing an ultimatum on the wall?
06:59Oh, yeah.
07:00I'm assuming it's one of those disaffected, stately dinosaur types who can't move on.
07:07Hi.
07:07It's Kieran from...
07:09Yeah, we have to work together.
07:10We've been hacked.
07:12Say more words.
07:14We can't access football department files, which includes video footage, data analytics,
07:18GPS and opposition statistical data, game day strategies.
07:20Essentially, it's everything you rely on in a match.
07:22It's usually Russians.
07:24Of course.
07:24They'd kill for our game plan.
07:25We don't know who's behind it yet.
07:27And actually, there's not much we can do about it anyway.
07:29Have we received a ransom demand?
07:31You're big on them, aren't you?
07:32We haven't yet.
07:34What do you suggest as a course of action, Kieran?
07:36Suggest we do nothing until we get a ransom demand.
07:40And then?
07:42Pay it.
07:43Well, thank you for your technical expertise.
07:46It was nothing.
07:48Is he taking the piss?
07:51Sorry, Bishop, but, you know, we can still pray without a refurbished cathedral.
07:56We can't play football without a stadium.
07:58Why?
07:59What's worse to have around your neck?
08:01A millstone or an albatross?
08:03Oh, depends what you're wearing, I guess.
08:04This bloody stadium.
08:06You told me we'd only have to put $375 million into it.
08:09Yeah, they were the numbers state growth gave me.
08:11Well, what's the problem now?
08:12It's blown out again.
08:13It's now going to cost $1.13 billion.
08:16Plus, they've found more contaminated soil at the site,
08:18and as much as I'd love to, we can't just tip it in the river.
08:21Bloody red tape.
08:22So, short of walking around Hobart,
08:24dropping it down our trouser legs like Shawshank Redemption,
08:26we are up for the cost of a professional removal.
08:29What about storing it somewhere?
08:30We don't have anywhere to store human beings here, never mind dirt.
08:34Well, what do you want me to do?
08:38I need you to talk to Alistair
08:40about some sort of compromise on the stadium?
08:43Premier, with respect.
08:45You're the premier.
08:46Why don't you talk to him?
08:48Because every time I do, I get all sweaty and brain foggy
08:53and just end up doing what he wants.
08:55Look, just put it to him that we could save tens of millions
08:58if we didn't have to build a translucent bloody roof.
09:00Every time it comes up, I get,
09:01oh, you'll put a roof over the stadium
09:04but not over the heads of the homeless.
09:06Feels like I'm rubbing the homeless people's noses in it.
09:09In the roof?
09:11Yes.
09:11Well, let's see.
09:12If Alistair finds that bizarre imagery persuasive.
09:23So what you're saying is...
09:25Wayne isn't Cardinia's father.
09:28I had the DNA test done a few years ago.
09:32Hilarious.
09:33And Wayne doesn't know?
09:34No.
09:36Who is it then?
09:38Rick Tallenbrook.
09:39Ricky Tallenbrook.
09:41Geelong's Ricky Tallenbrook.
09:42You bozos.
09:44How many games did he play for Geelong?
09:46What?
09:46Did he play 100 games for...
09:48Look it up.
09:49Rick wasn't born here though.
09:50Oh, yeah.
09:51Shit.
09:52Jesus, Emma.
09:53Oh, sorry I didn't have the foresight
09:55to have a fling with someone born in Tasmania.
09:57Well, there's always next time.
09:58Hey, I am not a bad person.
10:01I just have a raging libido.
10:04I'm insatiable.
10:05It is a diagnosed medical condition.
10:07I simply cannot get enough sex.
10:09I need sexual intercourse on a daily basis at a minimum.
10:14And I'm yet to meet a man who can keep up with me.
10:21That is an elite libido.
10:24We have already gone public with the father-son story though.
10:27Yes, and no one needs to know.
10:29So just sit on it and you get to keep your boy here.
10:32No, I want it to come out.
10:35What?
10:35Why?
10:36Because I want Codinia to play for Geelong.
10:38I'm a Cats fan.
10:40Yeah, but only because Wayne went and played for them
10:42and now you're going to completely devastate him?
10:43Hey, I'm Geelong through and through.
10:45No, this is about loyalty.
10:53Ange, any Merlot news?
10:55Oh, yes, the police found her bones.
10:57Where?
10:58No, I mean, the ones she eats, they found her bones near the gate.
11:00They obviously used them to lure her to their car.
11:02Jesus, Ange.
11:03Sorry.
11:03Oh, but the new club jumpers arrived in time for tomorrow night.
11:08Aren't they specky?
11:10Yep.
11:11Yep.
11:11Very colourful.
11:12Yes.
11:13Where's the club logo?
11:14Oh, the designer said there wasn't room
11:16and I figured everyone would know who we are anyway, so.
11:19Angela.
11:20Yeah.
11:20Without the club name on it,
11:22the players are just buff billboards.
11:25I suppose you want me to fix it.
11:27Only if you think marketing falls under the purview of head of marketing.
11:49We have a contract that says the government would deliver a roofed stadium.
11:53The premier wants the stadium, but he'd also like some money left over to run the state.
11:58You're involved in putting that estimate together.
12:01Has the Tasmanian Public Services bright young thing miscalculated?
12:05Estimations of major infrastructure projects are not an exact science, Alistair.
12:10Uh-oh.
12:11You've miscalculated, haven't you?
12:15You've miscalculated.
12:16You're not dealing with reality.
12:18Oh, are you serious?
12:19The reality is that any cost blowouts are the responsibility of the government.
12:23And why isn't the premier having this conversation with me?
12:26Have his ghoulies finally shrunk and gone back up his guts?
12:28I expect he's at Bunnings, pricing cheap perspex for the roof.
12:32A roof that the AFL is insisting on, despite only using it half a dozen times a year.
12:37Okay, we've received ransom demand.
12:39What do they want?
12:40They want $250,000 transferred into some account.
12:43All right.
12:44Look, I know that's a lot for a dog, but we don't have a choice.
12:46I think we do.
12:47This is from the hackers, not the dogmappers.
12:49Oh, right.
12:50They're trying it on.
12:51Ignore it.
12:52Hey, we've got to get this sorted.
12:53It's farcical to be going into our first game with no digital shit.
12:58Jamison, get that misfit from IT to get off his ass and sort this out.
13:02You want him off his ass?
13:03You got it.
13:04To be clear, I want him on his ass, sorting this out.
13:08You got it.
13:09I'll make sure he doesn't get off his ass.
13:11Sitting down at the computer is what I'm saying.
13:15So on and off his ass?
13:17Fuck me.
13:18I'll tell him.
13:23The Tasmanian government agrees that it is solely responsible for the cost
13:27to develop and construct the stadium, including any costs which exceed the estimated stadium
13:32build costs.
13:33I think the Premier knows what the contract says.
13:35Yes, I know what the contract says, Alistair.
13:37He's looking for some flexibility.
13:38Yes, I'm looking for some flexibility, Alistair.
13:40I've got ambulances lined up outside the Royal Hobart like they're selling Taylor Swift tickets,
13:45and you want me to spend millions on a Perspex roof?
13:47If you build a bloody roof, you might actually get Taylor Swift to play there.
13:51True, okay.
13:51What about hitting up the private sector for some naming rights?
13:56We've already got the stadium naming rights in train.
13:58But not for the roof.
14:00Hey, I'm no builder, but isn't the roof part of the stadium?
14:04Be helpful if it wasn't.
14:14The club can't take Cardinia as a father-son selection.
14:19What?
14:19I'm so sorry.
14:21Why not?
14:22I played over 100 AFL games.
14:24Yes.
14:25I was born in Tassie.
14:26Yes.
14:27So my son would qualify for father-son.
14:30Yes.
14:43I thought you'd be at the statue unveiling.
14:46Yeah, they stuffed up the club jumpers.
14:49Oh, bumhole.
14:51Who's the statue of, by the way?
14:53Um, someone Farrelly?
14:55Hmm.
14:56Not the one who was arrested this morning, I hope.
15:05Shit.
15:06Shit.
15:08Shit.
15:11Shit.
15:13This is a cheat sheet on Graham Farrelly, the player.
15:16So I'll introduce you and then we'll talk a little bit about the sculpting process, if
15:20you can make that interesting.
15:24Our statue of footballer was arrested this morning and charged with defrauding dozens
15:29of aged and NDIS patients of their life savings.
15:34Nice pick.
15:36Media's good to go.
15:42Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
15:45Thank you very much for attending today.
15:49Today we are in the company of two Tasmanian icons.
15:52A famous name in Tasmania's football history and another famous name in Tasmania's artistic
15:57community, Garth Meadows.
16:00Now, Garth, being the perfectionist he is, has asked us today for a little bit more time
16:07to get the statue to a point where he's 100% happy with it.
16:10So I'm sorry for bringing you all out here today for an unveiling that's not going to
16:15go ahead.
16:15Can you get him off stage, please?
16:16Take him off stage.
16:17Yes, I know.
16:18It's always disappointing when people don't meet their agreed deadlines.
16:21But we'll reschedule this as soon as we can.
16:23And again, my apologies.
16:25Thanks, everyone.
16:26Could you at least tell us who the statue is of?
16:32Royce Hart.
16:32All right.
16:34Royce Hart was a left footer, though.
16:36And this statue is kicking with its right foot.
16:42Yes.
16:43This very special statue is the first ever to honour a player showing him kicking on his
16:49non-preferred side.
16:51Thanks, all.
16:52Jameson, can you stop them from coming back?
16:53Would you mind?
16:54What's all this bullshit?
16:55The statue is finished.
16:56It's magnificent.
16:57Garth, the man you've immortalised in bronze, has just been charged with a bunch of heinous
17:01crimes against elderly and disabled people.
17:03Yeah?
17:04So?
17:04We're not saying he was a good bloke.
17:06We're saying he was a good footballer.
17:07Well, you could argue that statues of Captain Cook aren't saying he was a good bloke.
17:10He's not just a good sailor, but not everyone sees it that way.
17:12So what do we do with a magnificent statue of a disgraced fraud that cost us $80,000?
17:19Can you rework it a bit to make it look like Royce Hart?
17:22It's bronze, not fucking Play-Doh.
17:33Hi, Wayno.
17:34How you doing?
17:37Yeah, you told me.
17:40Yeah, so I'm just locking down numbers for the season launch on Wednesday night for catering.
17:45Yeah, so will Emma be joining you, given the whole paternity thing, and that Revere will
17:52obviously be there too, with the whole affair thing?
17:55Revere's not to come within 100 metres of my wife.
17:58Roger that.
17:58Ooh, poor choice of words.
18:00So is she coming?
18:02Because I don't know if I can get two tables 100 metres apart.
18:08Have a think, and I'll check back in later.
18:11Cool bananas.
18:14You set me up, idiot.
18:16What?
18:16How?
18:17By tipping off the cops?
18:18Are you that paranoid about me?
18:19Sorry to interrupt.
18:20Whoa, what's this about?
18:22I'm sorry, but the football department needs access to the database for game one now.
18:26We can't prepare in a professional manner without it.
18:28Therefore, we are requesting that you pay the ransom demand immediately,
18:32and no-one is leaving this room until that's agreed.
18:36What?
18:36Hang on.
18:37I've got to pick my kids up.
18:38Toughen up, for Christ's sake.
18:39What did IT say?
18:41Same as the cops.
18:42Pay it.
18:44Pay it, then.
18:45What?
18:45We need a team on the park on the weekend, Destiny.
18:48Come on, we've got what we needed.
18:50So they didn't play football before there were computers?
19:01Be content with your wages.
19:15Yes?
19:17$250,000 has just landed in your account.
19:24Unlock the files and send me your invoice.
19:34It is for the cathedral, so forgive me.
19:43And it's often hard for young people to think of themselves as leaders.
19:50But, in your own way, you are following in the footsteps of Mandela, Gandhi and Churchill
19:57in forging a near future for footy in Tasmania.
20:00This isn't shit, is it?
20:05Great Southern Football Club, this is Jamison.
20:08I have the dog.
20:11Do you?
20:12Well, we'll deal with you when we get proof of life.
20:15If you want to see it alive again, meet me in St David's Park tonight at 9 o'clock.
20:20And you'll bring the dog?
20:21The dog will be tied up somewhere else.
20:24Well, when will it be available?
20:26What?
20:27Tied up with a lead?
20:29Look, what do you want?
20:309 o'clock.
20:36Still got time for this.
20:37Come on.
20:46Excuse me.
20:47Excuse me.
20:48This over here, please.
20:50Let's get one of those.
20:52Thank you very much.
21:13And the reason these young men have been chosen as the pioneering leaders of our club
21:18is because they've shown on the training track and off it
21:22the qualities we're striving to be known for.
21:24The qualities that Mandela and Gandhi displayed in spades.
21:31To those who haven't been chosen in this enormous...
21:33Help us out here, Alistair.
21:35The state's got a record billion-dollar-plus deficit.
21:38This stadium could cripple us.
21:40This stadium's going to revolutionise your economy.
21:43Your housing crisis will be a thing of the past.
21:45It's going to generate thousands of jobs.
21:48Yes, but most of those jobs will be in construction.
21:50Yes.
21:51So who's left to build the housing?
21:53Well, they'll be bringing construction workers from interstate, too.
21:57Where are they going to live?
21:58They'll have to spend all their time building houses for themselves.
22:04Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the great Southern Football Club's inaugural leadership group.
22:09Malachi Zoot, Trident Pash, Memphis Fishlock Bragg, and Jagger Gibbons.
22:16There he is.
22:19Good job.
22:21And now, please welcome Tasmanian music icons and Australian cabaret royalty, Carrie and Gary.
22:28No.
22:29No.
22:30No.
22:30Serious?
22:34You carry out dreams on your wings.
22:40With you, I know, we could do wonderful things.
22:46When life's lost, it's joy, and all is dark.
22:53We see young angels in the past.
23:01You sacrifice for a worthy cause.
23:05You lift us up where the eagle soars.
23:07You are the angels, our sport.
23:11Guardian angels in short.
23:17Guardian angels in short.
23:26Holy mother of God.
23:29I don't know who thought that was a good idea.
23:31I did.
23:33Well, it takes a big person to admit when they're wrong.
23:36So you turn footballers into celebrities.
23:38Another reason not to do it.
23:40They already think they're celebrities, Alistair.
23:42They're complaining about the club-issued sunscreen only being SPF 50.
23:45They want SPF 70.
23:47What a bunch of pampered, entitled prats.
23:50Would they also like a team of dermatologists to rub it in for them?
23:55Jesus, Hugh, we've got personal welfare officers, psychologists,
23:59bloody boundary throw-in analysts.
24:01Christ, we've got dieticians telling them how to eat.
24:04Financial advisors telling them how to spend their money.
24:07We've got biomechanics or something telling them how to run.
24:10For God's sakes, is there any chance of finding some footballers
24:12who know how to run, who know how to eat,
24:15who can put two words together in the right order
24:18because it would save us a bloody fortune?
24:21So how's the budget looking?
24:24Oh...
24:36Heartless dogmapper?
24:38Shut up and listen.
24:40I'm a lifetime member and supporter of the North Launceston Football Club.
24:44I've followed the bombers since I was seven years old.
24:50We could do you a certificate.
24:52But because of the AFL,
24:54we've been shuffled off to some Mickey Mouse competition
24:56in the north of the state.
24:57Oh, you can't say it's a Mickey Mouse competition.
24:59Why not?
25:00You'd need the rights from Disney.
25:02You'd be like the Tasmanian devil.
25:04Please.
25:05What happens to clubs like mine and supporters like me?
25:07Well, see, your club's role has changed now.
25:10Every club and competition below AFL level
25:13is a pathway to the AFL.
25:15Mate, I haven't spent the last 55 years
25:17standing in the pissing rain,
25:19freezing my court shut,
25:20supporting a fucking pathway.
25:21Okay.
25:22That footy club's the most important thing in my life.
25:25You want your dog back?
25:26I want your word the AFL will provide
25:28the same funding to my club they paid Snoopy Dog
25:31for a campaign promoting membership of my club
25:33to kids up north.
25:34You have my word.
25:36as a football administrator.
25:37Right then.
25:39She's tied up at the southern entrance
25:41with a lead.
25:43Yeah.
25:50I'm really happy for you, Hugh.
25:52Thank you, Destiny.
25:53Oh, we all are.
25:54Well, the premier is a much happier chappie tonight.
25:59Has someone deposed him?
26:00I believe Roger and I may have secured
26:03a naming rights sponsorship for the roof.
26:05Fantastic, Catherine.
26:06Who is it?
26:07Ansel.
26:10Ansel.
26:10Woo-hoo!
26:11Free condoms.
26:12Yeah, so it's a great fit, isn't it,
26:13if you'll pardon the pun,
26:15because it's about keeping a lid on things.
26:18It's got to make you feel a little less hysterical, Destiny.
26:21I'm actually a unique mix of relief and disgust.
26:25Oh, and terrific appointments, by the way.
26:28Fabulous young leadership group.
26:30Their parents must be super proud, Wayne.
26:34You having a crack?
26:36What?
26:40Ooh, a bit sensitive.
26:42Yeah, he's just been raising someone else's kid
26:44for the last 20 years.
26:45What's his problem?
26:46Anyway, I'm really looking forward to Saturday.
26:49We play on Sunday.
26:51Oh, we're taking the boat out on Sunday.
26:54Oh.
26:55Anyway, I hope we're not one of those teams
26:57that kicks the ball sideways and backwards
26:59and all that rubbish and just kick it forwards.
27:02Yeah, the game's a bit more complicated
27:04than that these days.
27:05Oh, I think you coaches just make it complicated
27:07to justify your enormous salaries
27:09in your massive football departments.
27:12Why don't you stick to making wrapping paper
27:13or whatever it is you do?
27:16High-quality packing materials, if you don't mind.
27:20Well, on that note,
27:21I think we might take our leave too, Jamison.
27:24But there's a sticky date pudding to come.
27:26I'm getting a feel for the culture
27:28you've engendered here, Hugh.
27:32Excuse me.
27:35Oh.
27:37And then there were two.
27:40You've miscalculated.
27:42Ah, ha, ha.
27:44In other local news,
27:45Tasmanian sculptor Garth Meadows
27:47has revealed the real identity
27:49of the subject of the statue
27:51he was commissioned to make
27:52for the Great Southern Football Club.
27:54It's not Royce Hart.
27:55It's Graeme Farrelly.
27:57I mean, Alistair Penfold knew.
27:59He commissioned it.
27:59Farrelly is currently facing
28:01multiple fraud charges,
28:02while AFL CEO Alistair Penfold
28:05is facing claims of cover-ups
28:07and knowingly lying,
28:08sparking calls for his resignation.
28:11Great Southern CEO Hugh Shen
28:13is favourite to take the top job.
28:16Ladies and gentlemen,
28:18look who's in the room.
28:19It's our official mascot,
28:21Adam the Apple,
28:22from the Apple Isle.
28:25Adam the Apple!
28:30Adam, quick one for the socials.
28:43Say bye-bye to Alistair.
