THURSDAY RUB | Isaac's VHS, Hosko Off The Bench, Matthew Nicks
6/11/202658 min
Sarah Hosking comes in for Kate McCarthy this week, and she has come fully loaded - with Isaac teasing to tell a story about a VHS tape.
Hosko talks about the mad dash she had to make to catch a flight last week, before the team gets into a round of Unpopular Opinions - and the Hall of Fame, the countup clock, and interstate travel are all in the firing line.
Essendon's search for a coach continues to be at the head of The Chief's Agenda, as favouritism appears to have swung away from James Hird.
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks joins the team from the boundary, before some very weird chat about calves, and Isaac's Penthouse Or Outhouse.

Shut up. The footy's on Triple M.
Speaker 20:02
Triple M Footy starts your weekend early.
Jack Heverin· Host0:06
Now there's a bit more noise.
Speaker 20:07
With every massive moment.
Jack Heverin· Host0:09
This is on. This is huge.

For Ream hot water and McDonald's, Triple M Rock Sleep.
Jack Heverin· Host0:26
Well, we're pretty much at the halfway mark of the 2026 season. We're starting to work out who's who in the zoo, and we've got two teams tonight who are in very good form at the moment. The Western Bulldogs and Adelaide have both won four of their last five games. That game is coming up a little bit later on. The coach of the Adelaide Crows, Matthew Nix, will join us in about 40 minutes from now. Plus of course, you've got all of your regular favorites here on the Thursday Rub, which by the way, is the number one show on Thursday nights. We are absolutely airborne, and we just have a stack of fun each and every week. That's why we're going so well. I'm Jack Hebron. Unfortunately, the Queen Kate McCarthy is not with us tonight. She's got every single known prescription drug under the sun to try and beat this flu that- she's got at the moment. So rest up, Queen. We know that you're listening, and she'll be back across the weekend as well. So that means that Isaac Smith gets bumped up the introduction order.
Isaac Smith· Panelist1:19
Oh, here we go.
Jack Heverin· Host1:19
You're now number one, the four-time- Happy days ... premiership star, the Norm Smith medalist, the catwalk walker. [laughs] The jungle runner.
Isaac Smith· Panelist1:25
Yeah.
Jack Heverin· Host1:25
There's not much else you can do.
Isaac Smith· Panelist1:26
No. Well, there's probably a couple of things, but we'll just leave those to the imagination.
