TIME CODES

0.0 – Discussion of Caroline Wilson’s criticism of Seb Ross and Tim Membrey’s decision to put family first before playing with the Saints on the weekend. Hutchy and Damo don't see eye to eye on this one.

9.30 – Richmond’s acceptance of vulnerability within the club – do we only accept it when a club has won premierships?

13.00 – Nathan Buckley delivers a PR Masterclass after his exit from Collingwood.

21.15 – Journalist Peta Credlin received an Order of Australia Award for her contribution to Australian politics.

27.00 – Gladys Berejiklian’s pre State of Origin photo wearing Blues colours goes viral.

28.00 – Shout out to Carlton’s social media team for their brilliant work repurposing the Harry McKay speculation.

29.30 – Scott Morrison’s decision to go to the G7 meeting during COVID. Discussion of the optics of the PM travelling when a large percentage of Australian’s can’t even travel to see their family. Should he have to do Hotel Quarantine like everyone else?

31.30 – Discussion of the Four Corner’s story ‘The Great Awakening’ about a family divided by Q Anon with links to the PM.

34.45 – What should the rules be around reporting about someone after their death as in the case of the late Dr Jeffery Edelsten. Herald Sun ran a ‘never before reported’ interview with Brynne Edelsten.

41.30 The Soundies – new categories being nominated, plus the Staff Writers strike again.

44.45 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise from Roger Byron via Facebook.

"Do reporters reference or use “the fans” or “supporter groups” wanting change at clubs, to support their own stories, or justify the writing of a story? How could they possibly measure that? Surely that goes along side unnamed sources in the credibility scale."

Ask Hutchy and Damo a question - head to Facebook or Twitter or email [email protected] - and send us your suggestions for 'The Soundies' Awards using the hastag #thesoundies
