Bit of random chat to kick off the show about Sams honeymoon, and surviving the tsunami, and Dane is excited* (*he may not be) about going to the Monster Trucks this weekend.

But after that we get to the big news of the week, the departure of Simon Goodwin from the Demons. Dane wants to know if Ralphy had any inside word it was coming. Who could the new coach be, we kick around the options. Dane refuses to rule out applying for the role, noting that he has missed call from Pickers this morning, so there is every chance it's the Dees reaching out to chat. Ralphy reckons Longmire is a decent shot, although he has no tips on it from anyone in the know.

Have the Dees been selfish? Dane says yes, and explains why. And he has an idea about salary cap exemptions for veterans, and for low draft pick players who clubs identified, took a risk on, and developed. Should Max Gawn leave Melbourne? Dane says it makes business sense for him to.

Speaking of business sense. Dane's big multi is goooooone. And he's not happy about it.

Confirmed: Dane is playing in the Legends game on August 28. Not planning to break a sweat.

Plenty of questions and comments from you, a number of them a tad fruity this week.

Dane talks us through where the Pies are at with their training, and how they are planning the run into finals. He reckons they should be the anchor for your multi this weekend.
