On Thursday morning, Gerard's editorial included words on the speculation surrounding Alastair Clarkson's future, Ben Rutten's task with Essendon, and the interesting case study that is Jack Ginnivan, which was followed by a lengthy chat with Kane Cornes where they discussed Craig McRae's comments about Jack Ginnivan yesterday, each team's chances of approaching Alastair Clarkson, the concerns he has at Essendon, and more. Mark Bosnich then called in to talk through the scintallating finish to the Champions League semifinal this morning, and Gerard was soon joined by Daisy Pearce in the studio, who explained how her and her teammates have coped with losing the grand final, why she decided to play on next year, what she's hoping for in the upcoming CBA, and to also speak about the AFL's apology to female umpires, the success of teams using fast ball movement in the AFL, Collingwood's handling of the Jack Ginnivan situation, and more. After a chat with two-time Grand Annual winning jockey Clayton Douglas, Gerard entered his 'Strategy 2022' session with Brenton Sanderson, where Sando listed the five things he'd do this week if he was Ben Rutten. And lastly he was joined by Sam Edmund who outlined the key storylines ahead of Round 8.
