What are some of the levers or some of the strategies and personnel that y- you'll look at turning to, to, to cover his absence?
22:08
Yeah.
22:09
We've obviously brought in Louis Yemmott, um, a, a young ...
22:12
Or he's, he's played nearly every position for us at the moment.
22:14
We're trying to develop him, and early in the year we brought him in, um, because we probably needed a tall when Tim was injured, but this time he comes in and he's, he's p- been playing really good footy in the VFL.
22:26
He's actually, probably he's trying to model his game a little bit like Luke Jackson with, um ...
22:31
He's, he's played some inside, inside mid.

So do we expect that- Um, um, Bevo's gonna go down the path of, "We're gonna make this really hard for you."
49:18
Uh, what's the reasoning for his omission?
49:20
Yeah, his, uh...
49:22
Well, last week was a disappointing game for him, but probably hasn't been the, the form that he had last year.
49:27
Obviously nearly kicked 40 goals last year, and, and a really important player for us in great form.
49:32
And this year it's just been up and down a little bit, and it's, it's probably a sign of, um, our group now, that we're starting to get a little bit of selection, um, difficulties.
49:40
Which is good, because we haven't had it all year.
49:42
So, um, obviously Cody come back in after hurting his, his shoulder, his good should- uh, his good elbow.

Ego, uh, before we get onto tonight's game, I was just wondering how the, uh, the progress of Sam Darcy's going in hi- in his rehab from a serious knee injury.
1:43
Uh, what's the reasoning for his omission?
1:46
Yeah, his, uh...
1:47
Well, last week was a disappointing game for him, but probably hasn't been the, the form that he had last year.
1:52
Obviously nearly kicked 40 goals last year and, and a really important player for us in great form.
1:57
And this year it's just been up and down a little bit and it's, it's probably a sign of, um, our group now that we're starting to get a little bit of selection, um, difficulties, which is good because we haven't had it all year.
2:07
So, um, obviously Cody come back in after hurting his, his shoulder, his good shoulder, uh, his good elbow.
2:14
Um, so he's r- obviously a really important player for us and, and had a week off and been training really well.

Ego, uh, before we get onto tonight's game, I was just wondering how the, uh, the progress of Sam Darcy's going in hi- in his rehab from a serious knee injury.
24:09
How big was the win for the group in terms of finals aspirations, end of the year, beating a, an, a fellow contender? And what was said pre-game last week that got all the boys up so fiery?
24:19
fiery?Yeah, I don't know if that was, um...
24:23
I, I don't know where all that's come from.
24:24
I, I understand there's obviously the wrestles and, and the physicality part and it's something against Hawthorn you just have to be good at.
24:31
Your, your contest and tackling has to be good against them because once they do get the ball out into open space, they use it so well with their short possession, short kicking side, which they always have.
24:42
Um, but obviously under Sam Mitchell, who was probably the best in the game at left foot, right foot, and he's... and how clean he was around the contest.
24:49
They, once they get the ball, it's hard to get it back.
26:48
How would you describe his development and his place in the team?
2:59
Matt, how did we do?
3:00
David, this report paints the picture of resilience in the job market.
3:04
The economy added 115,000 jobs in April.
3:07
That's a slowdown from the blockbuster pace in March, but it's much better than expected.
3:11
The unemployment rate remained at 4.3%.
3:15
And look, if you're a nurse or a healthcare worker, this is a great job market.
3:19
Construction and leisure and hospitality, they added jobs as well.
26:39
Matt, go ahead.
26:41
Well, that is true, and it, s- so for what we're getting at here is the dollar is, is, um, king.
26:46
It's the reserve currency of the world, and it's not likely to lose that crown anytime soon.
26:52
Um, you know, the policies that are being thrown about, uh, you know, and not just in this administration, but the previous administration, um, you know, kinda chip away at that, uh, that reserve currency status potentially.
27:04
Um, but, you know, it's something that, um, you know, shouldn't be taken for granted.
27:08
Um, and over, you know, it, it's sort of like when you, like, going back to the United Kingdom when you see, you know, they used to be, a long time ago, the reserve currency of the world, and it lasts and lasts and lasts until all of a sudden it doesn't.
27:21
And, um, so you just have to, you have to be careful about it.

11 MINS LATER

Okay, Matt Egan, that last thing that Blinder said about, you know, forget wh- how the markets are actually behaving, bond traders actually cha- care about their own personal marginal tax rate, uh, what do you think?
