Andy MaherHOST
34:04
He did...
Andy MaherHOST
34:04
That's right, as Julio points out, he did spear tackle Graham Wright one day.
Andrew GazeHOST
34:08
Yeah.
Andy MaherHOST
34:08
Uh, Johnny Ironmonger.
Matthew ClarkeGUEST
43:14
We think Jack will be able to do that with, as you mentioned, with guys like Harley and, uh, Will Dirma, and we think Beau Allen's got great scope to go through there as well, and we've got some other young guys that haven't had great exposure yet, but we feel like it'd be great for them.
Tom MitchellHOST
43:27
If we talk about Harley Reid specifically, is it fair to say that, um, you know, you're trying to get a lot of that experience around the ball? So you think, you know, Jack Viney now, Elliot Yoe, Tim Kelly, Graham and Baker when they play midfield.
Tom MitchellHOST
43:38
I- is that to try and get Harley Reid into a bit more second phase footy? By that I mean in a little bit more space where he can use his power and, and isn't, isn't always the first possession player getting tackled.
Matthew ClarkeGUEST
43:48
Yeah, I think so.

Tom MitchellHOST
62:31
Like, I think the pieces are coming together nicely, the Blues.
Josh GabelichHOST
62:33
And they've done it all without a list manager and a national recruiting manager.
Josh GabelichHOST
62:36
I mean, Graham Wright is one of the most experienced in that space.
Josh GabelichHOST
62:39
He is their CEO right now.
Aidan CelliniPANELIST
11:19
But they've also got a few guys that are coming through the wings pushing for selection as well.
Aidan CelliniPANELIST
11:22
So they've got a nice blend of both experience and also youth coming through, which is again, the, the movings of Chris Davies and Graham Wright, I think over the last 12, 18, 16 months, I think have been brilliant.
Aidan CelliniPANELIST
11:33
Obviously moving out Curnow's a big, big call, but the, but the way they've handled that, brought in some experienced talent with Hayward, Flynn, Ainsworth, and then also now added Amati and Whitfield, I think it's very good, uh, work from the Blues.
Mitch KeatingHOST
11:43
All right.
Tom MorrisHOST
50:21
So Carlton's done all this without a list manager as well.
Tom MorrisHOST
50:24
Graham Wright and Chris Davies have run the show, which is unconventional, but it's worked.
Liam PickeringPANELIST
50:27
Well, it's unconventional, but they're both very experienced list managers themselves.
Tom MorrisHOST
50:30
They are.
Tom MorrisHOST
50:30
Which was their point.
Liam PickeringPANELIST
50:31
Well, that's what I mean, is that we don't need anyone at the moment because that's what Chris Davies has been heavily involved in for 15 years, and same with Graham Wright.
Tom MorrisHOST
50:38
Yeah.
Liam PickeringPANELIST
50:38
Right, so they know the, they know the industry backwards.
Ethan DaffyHOST
10:05
Um, but the, the best part about it is, like, it's just another good ball user in this team and, and by the sounds of things, he's pretty...
Ethan DaffyHOST
10:14
He was pretty adamant of coming to Carlton after he met with CD and, um, Graham Wright, and obviously seeing the way we played in the back half of the year.
Ethan DaffyHOST
10:23
Um, there'd be...
Ethan DaffyHOST
10:24
Like, it changes a lot.

8 MINS LATER

Mitch PattinsonHOST
18:41
Yeah.
Ethan DaffyHOST
18:41
It's just not happening.
Ethan DaffyHOST
18:42
And I wouldn't wanna be crossing CD and Graham Wright, to be honest with you.
Mitch PattinsonHOST
18:47
Whoa.
Sam EdmundHOST
12:04
They did read the riot act to, to Lachie Cowen in, in particular, um, over the last couple of days, that, uh, if he wants to keep behaving like this, he'll get one chance and one chance only.
Sam EdmundHOST
12:13
And, uh, and Graham Wright and Chris Davies in particular, absolutely steaming, particularly the CEO.
Sam EdmundHOST
12:18
So we'll see where that one goes and whether suspensions need to be served, uh, in the minds of the AFL.
Kane CornesHOST
12:23
AFL.All right.
Cam LukeGUEST
48:44
Uh, look, obviously what's happened on the weekend has, has made Carlton very angry.
Cam LukeGUEST
48:48
You know, Graham Wright from all reports is furious about it, and understandably so.
Cam LukeGUEST
48:52
Really disappointing, uh, in the eyes of so many at Carlton.
Cam LukeGUEST
48:56
That was floated a little bit that maybe he would be available.
Cam LukeGUEST
11:45
Look, obviously what's happened on the weekend has made Carlton very angry.
Cam LukeGUEST
11:48
You know, Graeme Wright, from all reports, is furious about it, understandably so.
Cam LukeGUEST
11:52

Cam LukeGUEST
11:56

Nic NegrepontisHOST
44:59
Yep.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:01
As we've said before, I think Josh Fraser and Chris Davies and Graham Wright should sit down with Patrick Cripps when they get back to work in late November and say, here's a two-year extension, here's a million dollars a season through 2029.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:16
As part of this, we want you to step down as captain and focus on your body and your career and your legacy.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:23
And we want you to be a one-club player and we love you to death.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:28
We just want to start a new era, new coach, new captain.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:32
And we want you to assume the Joel Selwood, Scott Pendleby role as the leader behind the scenes with Sam Walsh as the face of the club.
Paul SebastianiHOST
45:41
Which would be in line with the direction of Graham Wright and Chris Davies, given how many changes we've seen over the last 12 to 18 months.
Nic NegrepontisHOST
45:49
Yep.
Tom MitchellHOST
5:40
Yeah, I think they're so well set up.
Tom MitchellHOST
5:41
And it's the building blocks of their CEO, Graham Wright, and their footy boss, Chris Davies.
Tom MitchellHOST
5:45
They've got the pillars in place.
Tom MitchellHOST
5:47
And if they get Fagan, like they've got all the people in the right spots.
