The Eagles are victors in Western Derby 58, Barra has all the inside word on what happened including the hype of Harley Reid, Elliot Yeo winning the Glendinning/Allen medal and can the Dockers bounce back. Plus another bad day at the office for Daniel Ricciardo in the F1's and a local takes out the Margaret River Pro.

Signed a tall sport with Adrian Barrage Hi Barra. He lease, well, we thought he'd swagger like Jagger. He did not stagger like Barra. But and he did, didn't he? Harley read three goals, two streamers, the double Cobra, gun.

Show, seven disposals like that? Least is that what he's doing? The gun show that? No, I don't think least like it.

It's a sticky yes, I said Johnny Weissler cars sounds back. I'll tell you what. It must be a strange feeling for him though he's from Victoria. Yeah, and he's nineteen and there was fifty thousand West Australians chanting.

His name on Saturday night. Harly, I couldn't believe it. It was freaky.

It's a phenomenon. He's a Taylor Swift of the AFL. Everyone talks about him about Jagger. I actually said that. I was with a at the footy end. I was speaking to a very senior politician after the match, and I said, perhaps the government could declare a public holiday on Monday, call it Harley Red Day.

That'd be that'd be good. Did you say, senior minister, Jesus, this is what's wrong with us.

It could double as a morning day for Dockers fans today as well. Could we could all had the day off And the answer was yeah, Nah, that happen.

I reckon, everyone just pace themselves, Okay, so they want to in a row.

I'll tell you what, if you're at the hotel last night, you hadn't been pacing yourself.

I believe the boys were down there.

And you know the funny thing was, my spies tell me my daughter's friends, because suddenly my daughter's obsessed with Harley as well, which is like, I mean, she's on a human I suppose. But the hotel, did you know they've got a silent disco.

Because the neighbors complained about the noise.

They would wouldn't they?

Maybe that's why. But I'll tell you what. It works well for Harley, doesn't it Put the headphones on.

Someone tries to talk to you, mate, I'm just you know, get down to the tel if you want to catch him on a Sunday. The boys, I suppose, yeah, I suppose, really, Buddy, Dusty, Harley, Nick Nat Couzy, all those people who are referred to by one name Madonna, Yeah exactly, Yeah, Yoey who's coming in tomorrow.

It would be most of the league because you know they like to want to use you know, surnames with an or any.

On the end of it, like that the SHORTI nickname. The more the more you know people Australian. Yeah, I love you that you and Yoey was super won the medal. Yes, that was good medal, probably best of field.

Wonderful. He's infectious, though Harley isn't talking about He told me you're on the Harley wagon.

We know you're on the Harley train. But tell me the excitement about Harley is it? Is it greater than nick ed out at his speak Ben Cousins or fills judge, because it feels like it will be you think so, because the excitement of a Judd in the early days was sellers.

And he's sort of a little bit, a little bit ahead of Juddy at the moment statistically go in. We're just pumping into my veins. Even had a crack at David Monday, the Great David Monday on radio. Just see that when Monday he said he only gave me one vote.

Monday Dave said, if you get the ball in the first quarter, I'll give you a vote.

You've got to be confident one of the all time greats anyway least, So what happened was, yeah, well let's talk about the doctors.

Where do we go? Where do we go with the doctors? Tough week for Claire.

Answer the one question that all Eagles were talking about on the weekend. Does it mean that they can change their expectations for the year the fans?

Oh, good question, good question. It does.

I mean certainly won't be wooden Burners. You wouldn't think North Melbourne looking like being Wooden's burners. They could probably get out of the bottom four as well. I think that's probably where it's out, isn't it. You sort of just better that they reasonable.

Improvement and playing gold Coast away this week is better than playing like Collingwood informed you wouldn't want to get one of those sides.

But the coast, I mean, and the bubble or burst at some stage Harley all get a bit tired and he will do it will be flat at some stage for free Like it's been like I really feel for Freo. They lost to Derby. Harley pushed five ye over which didn't look good. Banfield couldn't kick through the big sticks for Amos got knocked out, which you wouldn't have such a freak accident, and it's three straight losses. They couldn't capitalize in the first twenty minutes with all over the Eagles, and they had a tough run they had. They've only had just two home games in six rounds lease, so they haven't been home badly.

They've been an adelaide half the beer.

Yeah, so I think that's why they look flat. So I feel like they're going to bounce back. They've had a tough fixture, there's no doubt about it.

So the frustration and especially in calebse a wrong.

He was getting really frustrated during the derby. But Bulldogs this week and one of the Eagles guys got suspended.

Tom barrass got suspended for tackle on Sons Sonny Sonny Walters, which they've got this sort of new rule in the AFL where if you've got a good character in other words, you haven't been suspended before that you might actually get off. It happened to Charlie Cameron last week and if he saw that they caught the good the good bloke rule.

Are you serious rule seems to be happening more. It would surprise me about the tribunal. They just make it up as they go along.

I don't know.

I can't follow.

So Tommy hasn't been suspended in one hundred and thirty eight games. And if Sonny was able to give evidence and say, look, I might have milked it a little bit. I didn't think he milked a lot because it looked like it did hit his head. But maybe the ball hit he said.

On the ground.

He hit his head on the ball, yeah, And there's weird. And then somebody got stuck into him coming off the ground. I think it was a Dockers fan. Actually, oh really when at the end of the match for old Sonny too, So I reckon he should appeal brass and go to the tribe. So look he gave Charlie Cameron. You let him off because of the good bloke rule, the fact that he hadn't been suspended.

No suspension for me. Okay.

The AFL doing everything to protect their head at the moment, don't they.

It's absolutely sacric and you know, when you see what happens with concussion, Amos will be looked after him.

He'll be in the concussion Sudie Walters who told Amos to get off the field.

He knew what had happened, looked like he knew where he was. He didn't. Where are you to be oble?

Why is the Why is he telling him to get off the field and not the medical people out there?

Yeah?

I think that he was the first on sweet he's first on the scene. I think take care of that. I think he was wandering towards the boundary, wasn't he was walking around exactly. Daniel Ricardo, I'm lucky again. I love that.

He's my favorite love he's my favorite sports person.

Study Max first step and keeps winning and then luckless they're calling him luckless, Ossie Daniel Ricardo nineth place he was and then there's a nifty Lance stroll in.

Aston Martin rolled up.

I did take that Aston Martin off if he doesn't.

Deserve James Bond comes straight up behind him, bloody Canadian jacks and at the end of the race, none too happy the great man because they started blaming him and he said, f that guy, Daniel.

We've got a bit of audio.

This is his reaction when told that he that that Lance stroll the Ashton Martin driver was blaming him.

He's saying, my mis sake. Okay, I had started to come down, but now that makes me. That pisses me off because.

I watched his on board.

He's not even looking at me.

He is.

We start to break, and his head starts looking at the corner and then he starts to accelerate or come off the break, and then he's right underneath me. So that pisses me off.

He's normally so Daniel as well. That's smile, wasn't there? You know that brilliant smile he's got from break. He'll pull it out a bit later on pussy never far away, but yeah, that I love that. No points, no shoey, none of that for him.

The other good, the other good thing that happened is a local boy won the Margaret River pro Jack Robinson. He's actually from Margaret River, so he had local knowledge. You were telling me they surf at surface point privily. Yes, and the box.

Because sometimes the box sees a bit of action, but it's it's mainly surfers.

I was trying not to look. I didn't do anything. I did not do anything. Have we got cameras in there? I want to try not to look.

I want to go to the replay because all I did got I've got a sore neck and a headache at the moment.

Sometimes they also surf at the bar, but mostly.

So not trying to change the subject. But in the women's final, the Hawaiian s Gabriel Brian. I don't know if you caught it, but there was a pot of dolphins. It was actually quite remarkable. In one of the biggest waves, the dolphins were in her way. They jumping over a board. It was like somebody said, it was like a postcard from heaven. It was magical. I'll tell you what. Because that went around the world. That would have been spectacular for everybody at home watching the game. You know what, I'm going to Margaret River trying to check out the box. Yeah, even better than the ballerinas. And then it's unreal. Did the surfer put a foot on the dolphin?

Right all the way in? Honey?

You guess where we're going now? The Perth's Glory. Yeah, the Perth Glory. I tell you what I've won. You don't really win the wooden spoon, but won the woodland you're awarded. It's horrible for him, the second in three seasons, so they probably need. They need a Harley read, that's what they need. And I thought i'd mentioned there's footy on Wednesday in the I fl this footy on Thursday and in the Waffles footy on Thursday as well, And I tried to invite you. Weren't here last week, brilliant, I said, because these big East Perth fan banging on about all do kick ten goals all that sort of stuff. I warmed her up and then I said, come on, Lace, come to the footy, come to the president's lunch. I know the president and the president come to the lunch. What was your answer, Lease, I didn't even think about and let me down slowly or anything, because went bank. I got better stuff to do. I'll be washing my hair.

I love your box.

Well, well we'll know the score of that game when I see you on front.

Yes it was four to ten that game, East Perth.

If you can get along, Waffle wonderlings, all the stuff for the kids to do as well, have a kick with the kid on the oval and climbing walls and all that.

So I'd love to see that.

Get a selfie with the Perth president and all that kind of stuff.

And so I've been Cousins will be there, He'll be here. You go, you guys. Thanks, he
