Come on Lobb you nump

Very good point Gawndy

Yeah he'd have to be pretty sick to miss surely. A few days to recover he'll be right!

It's actually not a silly question and I just assumed we'd scan at gate but could be dead wrong.

Grasp the metal!

I don't trust Carlton but wouldn't be surprised with an upset for reasons I can't explain.

It's really good to know a bit more about all this and the distinction between types of interviews, cheers. Also didn't know that the club sets the platform for an interview but it makes perfect sense. It also makes sense to have guests do their part of the interview over the phone as it's simple and setting up podcast equipment (even just a mic) can be time consuming. Sure you'll get some background noise but it's serviceable and I doubt people really pay much attention to things like that if the content is good, I would actually prefer the guest do their part over the phone rather than a laptop mic, they are usually not great. I think you guys do a sensational job and still manage to sound engaging with the guest albeit the short amount of time allowed to do your thing.

Mr Zeph! Is this your first full training report? You might have done another but the memory is hazy. Does it look like Dunstan could be spending some decent time in the middle?

Well not me, I'm giving you guys a bit of credit for trusting the doctors 🙂

No doubt that GC is absolutely the worst place for him to develop. I've got no idea how good he's going to be or if he can play but he's got some good tools and raw material to work with. Would have loved him as a Casey project.

May not be the only haircut he'll need if he's going to stay 😉 *Rimshot*

The people that said the doctors wouldn't rush Max if he wasn't 100%, you have been proven correct 🙂 Just hope he can avoid any repeats, we need the big guy.

Maybe after the night you can still post your weekly banner making segment? It's must see viewing in these parts lately.

I’m with you Uncle Bitter, if he came in and then was immediately rested for North I would feel like there were complications with his return after playing the Tiges game.

Bombers would be a decent fit I reckon, adds something else to that midfield.

Just for the record I was agreeing with you. My second paragraph was about you guys in particular and being impressed with how you control the interview style shows. You guys also have the ability to make an interview entertaining 🙂 My point was about just that, structure and working to time constraints.

I think I understand a little bit where you're coming from, you don't want a robotic 'ask question, get answer, ask next question' flow to the show. In my experience though you need to have at least a rough structure to go by and you go from there. I'm not sure exactly how Andy does it but he'd possibly be sending his guests a brief rundown sheet with the important points to be covered. These guys are also really good at taking our questions and making it into a conversational back and forth chat with guests. I'm actually really impressed with the way they're able to do this while keeping control of the show and staying within time restraints. If you go into something like this with no structure or format and just plan on having an open ended convo it could go anywhere, the guest could be shy and give one word answers making for a tooth-pulling experience to the ears or they could be great talkers and the interview ends up going for 3 hours. Some sort of structure just allows you to control the controllables a bit more.

Just as an aside, the Star Trek episode with Kirk vs Gorn is the best of that show.

Can't wait to get stuck into this!

We did the best we could I think by drafting Jefferson and bringing in Schache. Just weren't many ready made ones going around.

Disappointing to hear such foul mouthary.

This is correct, think Michael Gardner had a serious injury as well. That was the end of Goodes' career as a ruckman.

I like Harmes but he's no walk up starter nor is he a straight back in player anymore. I just can't see where he fits in right now unless he can add some other string to his bow.

Few probably want him to go. He just may become a necessary cap casualty.
