  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Notable podcast, the podcast where
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we talk about network, but we talk about so much more.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And I am Carolyn Swindell and this is week one
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of the post Fretwell world that we find ourselves having
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to cope with now. I think that we'll be able
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to do it if we manage to get through the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: loss of David Bowie as a species. I think we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: can cope with this, but it's a tough one. I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: am joined here today by.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Kath Cox, who's all rugged up. You've got a T
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: shirt on.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, well i've been. I did have a cardigan on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: until a moment ago, and up on the far North Coast.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I'm far North Coast. I'm laughing at Katherine or ragged
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: out there. It's been like it's got shades of wearing
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: socks with your heels at the Grand Final.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's not that bad.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I do feel like the Michelin man in.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: This Path of Jacket but oh funny, but I do
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: feel like we stepped fretwell. Retiring it gives a whole
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: new nuance to when you're fretting.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: That's it does. And they'll be fretting because they need
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a third goalshooter.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. What's so what was that Half an
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: hour after we finished recording on Tuesday, the Danell Wallam
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: announcement came. I put a post up the other day
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and said, as at this time one forty or whatever
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: time it was, here's where we're at with who's got Spot.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Nine minutes later my post was out of date. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that's why we don't really we can't speculate here because
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we're just not fast enough.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's been a lot happening, hasn't there. There's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: now the majority of the silver Ferns signed up in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that one week as well, because I don't think any
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of them were confirmed when we had the chat last week.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: No, I think that's right. And I said, are we
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: going to have two or we going to have six?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And you said it'll be more like six and six
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: so far. So Daryl Milton has dubbed them the fire Ferns,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: which is quite an interesting little one.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: My preference preface this by saying, firstly, I absolutely love
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that we are without doubt the strongest league in the world.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: There is no question now now that New Zealand's able
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to come and play. I also love the fact that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I get to talk about these athletes and see them
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: play every week, Like, how good to have all of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: them over here and be able to see what they
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: can bring to the court. I do, however, think that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: five imports in one team is too many. If we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: had maybe twelve in a side, it probably wouldn't be
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: as unpalatable. But just it's fifty percent of the team.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What's feet I had four last year.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And Thunderbirds will have four as well going forward. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, aside from all of that, I just can't
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: wait to see them all and what they can bring.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Imagine all the new skills and the ways of playing
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and the key we stuff that's going to creep in,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, all the defensive stuff they're so good at.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to be unreal. So much new stuff to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: talk about. Be cool.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I'm excited.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So I did flag something, but just before we got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on air, I said, I have huge news. I do
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have huge news. Actually I'm buying ten mcflurries tonight. Yes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: there was a win in the last game. Well, there
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was a drawing that came back from twelve twelve four
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: down and they won nineteen all. And it's like and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: all season I've managed to keep myself nice with the swearing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And then we're standing in a circle at the end
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of the game. It was really lovely. The coach and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the other team came across and they've finished the season first,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and she came across and she said, Goes, you have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: had the roughest season, but you are I've played you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in past seasons. You are all great netballers. Stay with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it. It was a really lovely moment. They came over and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this is Duty, who I've had a great relationship with
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: for several years. But it was just it was really nice.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And then I gathered my girls around and we're having
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a bit of a chat and I was talking about
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: how proud I was of them, and I started had
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a bit of a tear, and then one of them said,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: do we get mcflurries, And of course I went, of course,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: yet effing mcflurriy's. Oh sorry, kids, of course you get mcflurries. Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm buying mcflurri's today because we finished with a draw,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a completely not a win all season.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And are you saying against the top team, Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I shoot.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So halfway through the season, I took one of the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: girls out of goalkeeper and I said, you're now our shooter.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Go and learn how to shoot. So she's been in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a really tough position for the entire season and she
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: has improved. And in this fourth quarter of our final game,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: she could not miss it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Just couldn't hit water, could hit water. She fell out
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of a boat.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it was so great. It was such a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: such a great thing. And you know, I reflected the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: parents were wonderful for the whole season, and the girls
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: never turned on one another, They never blamed one another,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they never did anything except just keep sort of talking
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: about what people did.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: That was great and you should take that as a Winelius.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That's a win. So when I say huge news, huge
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: news in my little world, but you know, huge news.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It was great. It was great, a really fabulous way
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to end a tough season.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It'll bring and it'll bring them back next year. Finish
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the season on a win or a draw. That's as
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: good as a win. I'll be back next year.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It was your last game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Well, and this was my objective when about halfway through
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the seas and I thought, look, we're not playing finals here.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I thought, all I want to do is because they're
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: all finishing primary school this year, so it's a big
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: risk time for them to fall out of the game,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and I just thought, my objective here is for them
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the season and enjoy their netball and keep
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: focusing in a positive way. So tick for me, KPI. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: thank you. And you are playing finals.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, we do get to play finals this week. However,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: coach of the year over here is not going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: be there going away. Just booked it, not thinking anything
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about finals being on at a certain time of year
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: or anything else. That they'll be right. I just said
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to them, just you have to win one game so
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: week aus half is going to miss it too, obviously,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so we can get back and play the next week
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of finals and then it happens after that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Do that you can't do that?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Sure you can.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Well, it's happening. It's character building. They can do it
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: without me very easily.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Don't you have it in your calcumber.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not. I'm not missing a trip away
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for netball under tens. I'm sorry.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It's important for the girls.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: They'll be fine. There's a thousand other people there to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: coach them.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: She's coach shaming you after last week saying she'd be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a terrible coach.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, she can coach, shame me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I don't like I'm a coach, and I wouldn't leave
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: my team for the finals.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: There you go. Well, I'm going to see my family,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: which is far more important at this point in time.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That is true. You are correct there. Yeah, I thought
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: you were going on like some resort holiday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Can in that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Case, let's take it door back. Yes, you can go
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: and see your family.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you, appreciate it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Very nice. So what have you been doing? You said
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you had a pay for us.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Well, so it's that wonderful time of year, and I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: know we've spoken about this before Christmas.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Funnily enough, it was no hot cross buns in the stores.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: No, No, it's another wonderful time of year where parents
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: are stressed, kids are stressed, but it ends up being
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: okay on the day. So this morning we had book weeks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Book week, Oh my gosh, and this year we had
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to work backwards because every book we pulled out, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: said to Hapa, what about this one? What about this one?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: What about this one? No, how embarrassing, I'm not dressing up.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So now there's this whole thing around. She's got to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: look good. Yeah, she's past the stage of I'll put
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: on a dog face makeup and in ears and stuff
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: like that. So she had to look good, and I said,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: for God's sake, all right, then you tell me what's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: okay to get dressed up as, and we'll work backwards.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: So she's like, I think a cowgirl would be cute.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Oh God, all right. So we ordered the cowgirl stuff
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: we needed and had the whole plans.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: She said a book about strippers that she's she's going out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's a bit of a worry, isn't it. And then
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: we had to google a book to find a book
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that would so we work completely backwards. Anyway. She loved
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: her self off. She tute all this morning, all done up,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and it's just the funniest morning, particularly when you see
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: all the kindy kids and the levels of work that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: some of the parents clearly about too. There was a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: full paper mache rocket ship this morning.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Nice yeah, nice.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Crazy, But I just love I love it, so it's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: just so fun.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I was really happy when our little school went to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: alternate years for book weeks. That's good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Surely there's a shelf life on this though I can't
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: see them being into it next year or the year after.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: There were you four at the moment. It was hard
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: work this year, like just embrace it, get your mates together.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like if they do a group thing, then they.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of the group thing that goes on
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in year five and year six the girls, so there's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: very many Thing one and Thing two and crayon.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh god, there was like ten sets of crayons
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: this morning. Yeah, yeah, whatever floats they vote.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then Evelyn, when you had just read Man
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Proud's grace on the Court books that she just went
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: as a network player, which suited Hurt.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: We had this conversation. I'm like, for God's sake, Harbor,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: there's like three Nipplers have now written books. Come on,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: we could make this so easy on everybody.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: So look, I think you think you've had a rough
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: sort of time abot Catherine getting half a sort of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: a book week, But it sounds like you've got a solution.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind getting her up here to the farm, though,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I could have done with the cowgirl. This morning had
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: five escape cows and their calves. They were jumped fences,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: and I think It's always surprising when I tell people
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: about cows jumping fences, because as it's a it's quite
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: an amazing thing to see, like the whole cow and udder.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Just like, well, some cows can jump over the moon,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so this is true.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Well do you know, like you hear about that. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: go a lot when you move to the country and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you see a cow jumping over a fence. You're like, oh,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I can see now how you might think in a
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: nursery around the cow will jump over the moon because
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: when they're sort of sort of amazing in full flight,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: it's a whole mess of body to move, and they
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: move it. So we've got five cows who are part Brahman,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: so they're a little bit fancy nuts. Yeah. Anyway, we
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: also call them the kangaroo, so they are the kangaroo
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: heard and they have a propensity for just jumping fences
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And what did they see?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: What did they what did they want to get out for?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't. I think they just think at this
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: time of the year, it's the end of winter, even
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: though I've had plenty of ranks being colors, but the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: grass is not crying, so the grass is always greener.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Catherine oh to find that out.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about why their cows want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: escape cat Do you think that they're being looked after
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: properly or is there some type of detention center that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the meat trains running up there.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: For the cows, it's because they see all their mates
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: disappear and never come back. Their children. Oh gosh, they're
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: making some great rissoles.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, they do make great wrissoles. Anyway, So we got
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the kids on the bus and I was about to
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: come home and do some exercise and have coffee and
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: have some breakfast, and Matthew Raymond's that I need to down here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: So there I was in my my at leisure gear
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and my work boots, running through paddocks and jumping fences,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: and eventually we got these five cows around and into
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: back into our place and Matthew hobbled in. I was like, right,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm so I came up the house and
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: then the meat tray hobbled in about twenty minutes later,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and he's toy his hamstring. So he's got ice, one
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: of those ice and easies, one of my old ice,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: and Easy's got it out, put it on the hamming.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, you like, are you ever scared that they're going
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: to charge you?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Because they're huge, they are massive. If they decided to
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: charge you, they will absolutely do your damage. They really
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: only charge you if you get yourself between them and
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: their baby. And that was a concern this morning because
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: they had calves that we were trying to move as well.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: So you just have to be there's a way to
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: move cows without running at them. You can't run at them,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: that's just that just scares them. And you don't want
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to scare them. You want to sort of get them
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to move, and so you sort of have to move it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: They want to move in a circle, so you sort
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: of have to work with that. But anyhow, it was very,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: very stressful.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Oh no, Paul Matthew.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these be broken, he zubbling off.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Oh no, And so he's still able to walk? Is
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he is? How bad do you think it is?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I don't know. If it's like
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: man hamstring is like man flu.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It didn't work you at all, so it should be fine.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I'm fine. Yes, Katy, if you could spend half her
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: up in her cowgo gear, I think she'd be a
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: welcome edition.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm on it the city slicker, I'll send her up.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You know she'd be like, oh spider yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Would do you remember that scene in Mean Girls? Where
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: do you remember Mean Girls? Yeah, with the original Lindsay
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Lohan And she goes to the Halloween party and she's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: looking like a zombie bride or something, and then gets
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: there and all the girls are in like sexy Halloween outfits. Like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's starting to hit earlier and earlier. So
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, this is my daughter at twelve has a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: skin care regime. I don't have a skin care regime.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It's in the morning. She'll put her face in a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: bowl of iced water and so it just wakes up
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the skin and tightens the paws. It's like, your paws
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: are never going to be this type.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Just embrace that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I know it's scary though, isn't it. That's why I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: think next year, what is going to be happening for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: book Week? You're right, they'll be.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's why I was glad when they dropped it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to every second week. And the great thing is about
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be a long while ago now because my kids.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: This will be the twelfth year that I've had a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: child at this primary school. But it's a long time
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: ago they went. The easter hats get made in class
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and the buddy classes do it together, and so you
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: can send a limited amount of craft supplies, but the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: kids have to do it themselves and it's been the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: greatest thing because it's not a competitive thing anymore. It
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: gets made in class, So they are the dodgiest easter
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: hats you're ever going to see. But that's what I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: want to say. What is the easter hat thing? Like?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: What is that easter bonnet parade?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: But what is that? Yeah? Who knows? It's just arts
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and crafts.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I feel like it's a bit
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: like a holiday sometimes, like the enjoyment is in the anticipation.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: The actual parade itself is a bit naff.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, they just walk around.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So anyway, every second year sounds like a great idea.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I might feed that in at my school.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, but look, anything we can do to get the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: competitiveness out of primary school dress up events, I'm all
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in favor of. Suddenly, now it's a year six formal.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: It's not a year six dance or anything. It's a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: year six formal and now we're having to get hair
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and makeup and stuff brought into.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Two years, yes are they? Yeah?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's insane.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I blame TikTok for everything. Yeah not, but they're on that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. It just filters down, doesn't it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So Carper came home the other day, Oh my god, Mom,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I've got to watch this movie. Everyone's talking about it
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: at school. So I'll probably get this wrong, like K
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: pop Demon Hunters or something. Is that what it is?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know exactly the movie you're talking about.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the cropper name is. Yeah, but
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that's what one or two kids has watched this and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: started talking about.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Now it's filtered through the whole school, which is I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: have to watch it because I don't know what everyone's
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: talking about. Ye oh my god. We back in my day.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: We had marbles back in my day.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, it's Saturday and we talk about that on
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a Monday.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's true.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we sound like very old at the moment. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: want to talk about netball. So you know, on Saturday
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: there was not one single announcement, and I don't think
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that's fair because I have been now trained over the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: last two weeks to expect something big landing every day,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and I think that eight clubs should coordinate to give
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: me that little dopamine hit every day of the twenty
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: one day period. Because what I'm just messaging back and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: forth to Daryl and Donner, like what what are we like?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about EpoR because no one's giving us any announcements.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But some days your head's been blown off.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Some days my head has been blown off. The biggest
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: surprise Steph Okay was it?
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: No?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not not from I knew that was coming.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest bombshell for a lot
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of people. Though a lot of people are going, what's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: happening with Steph? What's happening? Why is she not been signed?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Why she's not been signed? So by the time she retired,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know how surprising it was. But that's a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: big change, isn't it. I haven't spoken to Gordy, but
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: she'll be very upset. She'll have to find a new favorite.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: She'll be excited too that Steph gets to go on
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to the next chapter in life because she's given it
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: so much. What a legend, what an absolute legend. There's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: not many players in the game like her. We've spoken
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: about that before and I hope she just goes and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: enjoy some fabulous family time or whatever she's planning on doing.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Now, are you still rocking the same flip phone case
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that she gave you some brief.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: For No, no, no, I kept that for a couple
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of weeks and then.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You've changed it. See Steph Rettwell making changes even amongst
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the No Dribble host community. If you haven't listened to that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: In our summer series, we had a great conversation with
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Steph Frettwell and Kav pulled out her phone to ask
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Steph the stand up questions that she asked everyone when
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: they have to get into her Coxy's hot box, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Steph couldn't stop laughing at your slimming bone case.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Bags me bag the hosts of the the podcast you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: go on to. I liked it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I think it was entirely consistent with the tone we
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: were setting. But we've still got as at this point
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in time, we've still got four teams that have space
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: left in there, or if there is it three now
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: because the Giants announced someone yesterday from New.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Zealand, it's also not Jane Watson.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Jane Watson. So is that there ten?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I know the Swifts have got
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of holes.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Still, yeah, Swifts have got some holes.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Well, the Lightning would have a shooter hole. Still yeah,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: there's not many though. They're filling up, aren't they.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder how Riley Batcheldore is thinking, whether she was
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: ship that she had stayed in the On the.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Same there was quite the juicy deal for Riley Batcheldoor.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's exciting for Yeah, no movement on the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: coach front this past week. There's not been actually a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: couple of big coaches still to be named.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: And they don't fall within that twenty one day signing period,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: so we might have some might have.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Of course, it's just the players, isn't it. I mean,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that without any knowledge, but I'm assuming that
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: you can. You just have to submit your teams. You
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: don't have to submit the coaches, do you.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I actually noticed people were circulating the Giants assistant coach
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: role that was on online, yeah, for people to apply for.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I thought that was just they were circulating it for
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: me to apply for. It was my take on that. No,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I told you I'm out for coaching. I'm taking it
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: like Simone mckinnis, I'm taking a year off coaching.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Assistant coach role. You can do it at that mcflurries
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: all around again.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I think that they frown on the can of gin
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: during the netball game.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you might have to abstain until the game's over.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't see how that's any fun. I'm
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: very happy with my netball watching paradigm. I have a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: lovely time. I take a photo of you working and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: then I just sit back and relax.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: How good. I went to the footy yesterday. Had not
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: been able to go to a Swan's game all Sea.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I did, actually I worked at one right at the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: start of the year with these, but I haven't been
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to a game. And I'm an ambassador for the Swans,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: but every single game that they're at home during the year,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: there's netball on and I can't get to. So I
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: went to a game yesterday and sat in the crowd
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: with a drink and watched it. I thought, this is
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the first game of sport that I've done this for
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: in a very long time. It was so good. It
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: fell was a very civilized crowd.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Now you know why people turn up and go to
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: these things.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, And it was such a beautiful day.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It was in a great day for Swans fans.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Oh no, but I mean it was a good first half, yeah, yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And then after that I'd had a few too many
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: vodka Sels's and didn't really care.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And a beautiful sunny day, beautiful. I went and watched
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the first fifteen play at my son's school on Saturday,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: sitting out in the sun. And these young men and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they are children still like that, they are year eleven
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and year twelve. The level of skill that they have
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in their game was just excer It's one of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: best games of rugby that I've watched in a long time.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It was just so until until, yeah, until watching the Wallabies.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: How good.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yes you taped it though, didn't you?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So I didn't watch it. It was at
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: one It was at one o'clock in the morning, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I thought, as all good Wallabies fans do, that they'd
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: probably lose because they haven't won at Ellis Park in
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: South Africa in sixty two years. So we went on
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a media blackout and watched it lunch yesterday with a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: toasted sandwich and a bottle of red wine, Thank you
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: very much, and what a great afternoon that was. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: then afterwards I had a little snooze on the lounge
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: because I'd had a red wine.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you got to that point without finding
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: out the result.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It was hard, It was really hard.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Given it was such massive news.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Thank god though, that I have the notable podcast closed
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: group in Facebook because I can go on that and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: still play around with my mates and you know, not
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: no one, no one knows Rugby. No spoiler alerts on
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the rug be.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: No, that's true. You did well. It's amazing, though, like that,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: to break a hoodoo that sixty two years in the
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: making is phenomenal. Like it's such a massive mental game,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: isn't it to do that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: It's like Eden Park as well, because Eden Park is similar,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: isn't it. It's a long time since. Yeah, the Wallabies
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: have beaten the All Blacks the very long time. And
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: it's a great thing about sport, isn't it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: When you've got these things, these these layers of excitement
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: with a game and seeing these sports people go, I'm
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: able to switch that out. I'm able to focus on
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing and it's just it's fabulous.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: The more it happens, though, there's an extra level of
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: pressure on the side who holds the record, isn't it is?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It was like it was like us, like the Australian
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Diamonds had never missed a World Cup gold medal game.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh my god, that's want to be the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: first team to not make it through to a gold
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: medal game. Unfortunately it's not happened.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Still, as the world gets better and better, you have
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: to think that one day it will happen. Yeah, I mean,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: well I saw that. The thing we haven't talked about
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: is the Australia on the twenty one team getting named
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: for the World with carp and Gibraltar later this year,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: which is super exciting and bloody not there's some great
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: talent in that team. But I was laughing when I
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: saw it come up and I thought I was the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: first captain I think, to lead a team that didn't
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: didn't win the World Youth Cup. So you know, life
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: does go on. There is hope.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Where was your World Cup for under twenty.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Ones nine ninety two? Where was it in Fiji? And
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: halfway through the final, the lights went out. Oh that's right,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: it was outdoors. It was us in New Zealand, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: it was so human that we had these green parasilk skirts,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you know they wrap around zip up skirts and just
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: white shirts. But all of our skirts got so sweaty
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: they all turned black. And we'll play against a team
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: wearing black, so and they were wearing black and white
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: and we were. It was like, oh my god, you
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: can't tell the difference. And we had a couple of
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: players go down with sickness. It was Truty Gardner and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Sarah Sutter who both went down really ill. And we
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: had a gun team, but so do New Zealand. Like
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: there was the very next like the ninety five World
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Cup was full of those Kiwi players, like they were
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: a great team. We ended up losing by two or three.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: It was devastating. And it wouldn't have mattered if you
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: both look like you were wearing black when the lights
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: go out.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So what did you do when the lights
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: went out?
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Well, we were just you know, you go and you
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: hydrate and you talk about the fact, let's stay focused,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: let's stay focused, and you just wait. It took about
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: half hour forty minutes for the lights to come back on.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: So it was amazing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize how lucky we are until you go
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and play a World Youth Cup where you go on
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: tour overseas and you play and some of the surfaces
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: or conditions that you're playing. I mean, nothing wrong with
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: playing outdoors, everybody does it, but it's not something that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: we're used to, is it. So's it's a bit of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: a brain fry. Our World Youth Cup was in Toronto
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: in Canada, and it was almost like concrete with a vinyl,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: kind of green vinyl surface over the top. It was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: so hard on your body a minor yeah, it was
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: like a liner. It was random. And then the goldpart
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: that still had the footing at the back so they
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: had the sand bags over it. So was oh wow,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: so dangerous. But you're like, is what it is. Everyone's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: playing under the same condition, so you just got to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: get on with it. You just realize how lucky we are,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: like we've got the beautiful floorboards. We're always inside. When
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you get to a certain.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Level totally like well, the ninety five World Cup was
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the same. It was a thin matting over a concrete
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: service and the weighted gold post at the back. That
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: was a World Cup. It's twenty years ago.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, So it was ten years yesterday or Saturday. I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: think it was ten years since the final of the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Nepal World Cup here in Sydney in twenty fifteen, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: we're having some great chat in the Facebook group about that.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I put up a bunch of photos of my time there,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: including one Liz of you in commentary, caught from behind,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: very busily working away. But yeah, a lot of our
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: listeners were there at that and it's like, my god,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: how was that ten years ago? This seems like fifteen
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: minutes ago, doesn't It.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Was that hectically busy for you because I wasn't doing
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: commentary then, I was doing some other I don't know,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: meat and greets and all sorts of stuff around it
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and the proofery. But were you doing every single Aussie
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: game or every game or can you remember?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: No, it was really busy. But Gordy and Dan Ryan
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: had it the hardest because they were down at Netball
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Central where there were some games and they had to
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: commentate some games by themselves, like one commentator only, so
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: oh wow.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: And the harder names to mention some of the countries
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: they had, like the Sri Lankan names are quite hard
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: to get your mouth around. I think Gordy was telling
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: me about that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well we had. I did some Blanket and some Fijan. Yeah,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: like so it's hard, but you just do it because
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it's part of it. But yeah, I was well full
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: on and I had just found out that I was
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: pregnant with Ustin and nobody knew. And we got to
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: the end and everyone back at our height, like all
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the all the broadcasters were having drinks that I like
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: turned up and I'm like, yeah, just yeah, give me
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: a glass and I didn't drink it. Gordy was looking
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: at me really suspiciously, and then I was like, oh,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I've got to go. I've got to go home early tomorrow.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Everyone's got something out at school. So I was trying
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: to sort of have morning sickness not let anyone know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And then you know you're working a ring app. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: it was bloody exciting. That was an awesome tournament. That
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: was so good.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I remember because we all did the Centurions before that,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: and we're all up the Duff Yes different stages. Chirelle
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: was quite heavily showing and you and I don't think
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: we've told anyone yet.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: No, I knew that when the two of us aren't.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Drinking, the jig is up. People are onto it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So you're you're not pregnant now. So I found a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: book in my office today and I thought this must
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: have some wisdom for us. It's called Foolish Words, the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: most stupid words ever spoken. And it's a full of quotes,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and I've got a quote here just reference to our
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: last conversation. They're about these hoodoos when you go places.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: That is Yogi bearer baseball legend. So I'm going to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: try to seek some wisdom for us. I'll say every week,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: but I you know, let's understand that when I say
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I do something every week, I do it some weeks
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: when I remember to do it. But yes, this is
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a Those are our words of wisdom this week from
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the baseball world.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: My sister is the queen of getting sayings back to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: front or mixed up. One she said the other day
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: was the what's the fergle sharky?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a good heart these days is hard.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: She came on the radio and she said oh, fucky,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: no close awesome.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's Is that called a malapropism?
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I think when you get when you get it like
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a well oiled bicycle, a well boiled icycle. I think
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that's called a malapropism.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not the sharpest tool in the share these
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the right one. What's the other one? Somebody, I'm smart
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: as a rocket scientist.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, brain's brain. It's not rocket surgeon.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Rocket surgeon, that's it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I once worked with a woman Anna, who used to
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: always get these things mixed up. And I was at
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: work one day and I'd just been like, I was
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: dumped at lunch, which was nice, thank you, and I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: was crying, and she tried to make me feel better,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and she said, Carolyne, when one door closes, another one shuts,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's what it feels like at the moment. Anna,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But thank you, You've actually made me laugh.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: My sister. Funnily enough, she sent this through this meme
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: that came through the other day, and it's a couple
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: and the woman saying, you're skating on thin eggshells. Mister
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: his replies, it's either skating on thin ice or walking
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: on eggshells, and she replies, you probably shouldn't have corrected me.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Now you're really opening up a can of hot water. Yep,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: that is you, Sarah.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Missus malaprop. That was a character in some maybe a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Dickens novel. I can't remember. Darryl look it up for us,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: would you. So we've got four days at the time
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of recording. There's four days left of the signing period.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's it closed on Friday? Is that right?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Should be on the Sunday? What's the twenty fourth? I
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: feel like the twenty fourth is the last.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Well, what's the date today?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: What should be Sunday through to the Sunday. So it's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a twenty fourth Yeah, Sunday, okay.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So there are six days left to go. It's looking
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: like we'll get all the spots filled.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: What about Gretel Bowetta? Though just quietly, I was so
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: pumped thinking she was coming back?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Is she not?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Was that that was just the worst tease ever?
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you Stacy Marinkovitch and Gretel Bwetta passing nipballs to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: each other and putting it on social media to get
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: all our whistles wet or no there's nothing happening. I mean, oh,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the sunt and past Lightning need a shoot her. I don't.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's not rule it out. Everyone's still
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: cross your fingers and hope to God that's going to happen.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: But I think it was more around maybe Australia. Don't
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: think so either at this point. But she's coming out
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to do a fast five version of with Maria Tutayer.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: They're putting a competition together just on that. Everybody that's
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: direct messaged me on socials and asked me to go
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: and play come out of retirement to go on shoot
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: some long bombs for you. I appreciate your messages, but
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: not a chance in hell. Thanks anyway.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Also, if anyone was thinking of ever direct messaging me
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to get me to go and play on their team,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: probably not.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Mid court can shoot though in this one the centers
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: are allowed to shoot.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't make life any more appealing.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: But I mean, you don't have to be a big
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: unit to be a center. You can still be draining
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: them from it.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You do have to have a fairly functioning maniscous though,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: which is also like honestly.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Carol, and Carol would prefer to keep her draining them
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: to just the gins when you're.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. I feel like I'm more your hype girl.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I think I've demonstrated I'm not much of a coach,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but hype girl, that's you.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Know, I'm a coach. Last performance, yeah, that was.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: My last performance in Raven's colors as coach, which was
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit sad. So on Saturday we had the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: farewell to meadow Bank Courts, so eastwood Ride Meadow Netball Association.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Earner has been playing out of these meadow Bank courts
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: for years and they were on I think I've talked
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: about this. They've been built on landfill, so half of
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the courts are completely unusable because if it rains, a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: child could drown in the size of puddle that is there.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: So they're real ankle breakers. But we're getting some new
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: courts in west Ryde. So Saturday was the farewell to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: meadow Bank and Kira Austin came down to visit.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I saw her on social so that the association's moving
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: completely away from that venue. Yeah, ah, that is really sad.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Great for new courts, not it is, but it's you know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of history isn't it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: It is a lot of history. Yeah, so, but yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: it's I didn't know that this was the last season there.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I thought the Courts weren't going to be ready until
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the before the World Cup, but apparently it looks like
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: they'll be ready for next year. If we're saying goodbye
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to the Courts, Where the hell.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Do you find that amount of land in Sydney's West Ride?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: So it's not far from at our Bank. It is
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: something established there. Yeah, that's exciting.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: There used to be some high schools around there that close,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: so maybe it's somewhere. I don't know. I'm just I'm
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: just spitballing now. But it's like I do know that
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: there have been some schools in the area that have
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: closed and merged and things, and new ones reopening, so
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: maybe it's at an old school or something.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Now, meanwhile, did the premiership winner get mauled here Austin?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I actually wasn't there when she was there, so,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: which was sad. I didn't see it until social media,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: so I went, oh, that's a shame, she's down at Earner.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: But there was a really good cake stall. I can
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: report that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Someone else so good.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: But they had they had the barbecue, they had the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: cake stall and then a heart check, which.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I could have just done that instead of going to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: get mined done last week.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So how'd you go?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Good? Nothing nothing untoward.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I have been thinking about with
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: horror for one week now is is having to run
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: on that treadmill for that cardiac tablet of brown Like.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: That's just well boom saw it just thinking about it?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not good at all?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Can I ask a question though?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Back?
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So back to the coaching. Are you going to coach again?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: So even even if it's not Dots team.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Look, I'm not I'm not entirely closed, so I would
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: like to have you know, it would be nice to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: not have something on all the time, but I'll be
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I will drop my ethics teaching next year because she's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: finished school. So it's like even just dropping one of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: those compulsory weekly activities would be would be nice. I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: will miss it, so I won't say that I'm definitely,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but she wants to play for her school and I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: think it's really good for her to have a different
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: coach because she's had me. She's had me the whole way,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, you know someone.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Else will feel it differently.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, So I think that'll be good. And
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: then you know, but I also think good not to
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: play for the school, particularly for girls in high school
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: when the social stuff gets intense, to have your friends
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a set of friends who are outside of that dynamic
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: is really good. So I would encourage her to go
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: back to a community club if she wants to. After
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a year of playing for the school. I think, you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you're starting a new School's probably not a bad idea
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to get in there and play netball and you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: try to meet some other other kids.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: You heard it here first everybody. Carolyn Swindle is available
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: for coaching. Please send your resumes to no dribble dot com.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, isn't like thinking about getting your weekends back up.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: We just had a weekend where we had rugby in
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: two separate places on Friday night, So Matthew was with
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Austin because he coaches him, and then I was with
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Evelyn while she played, and then we got home ten
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: o'clock Friday night, and then Saturday morning were up Austin
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: had soccer, and then I went and volunteered at his school,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: like fundraising. They do a country Fair. So I just
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: went and sold raffle tickets to the Wine Vault for
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: a couple of hours, and then I went and coached
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Devlon and Matthew was doing some other stuff and then
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: he came and watched Evelyn and then you know, you
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: get home on Saturday night, you fall in a heap.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: And then yesterday I got up and went and worked
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: at the at Bunnings for balin and Netball when they
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: had their Sasi Sizzle. So I was there for a
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: couple of hours doing the so Sizzle and Matthew was
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: off with Evelin at rugby training and then something else
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and I got to be so good when we like
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: when the kids are a bit older and we're not
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: doing this, but then I reckon, we're going to hit that,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and go, oh, I really miss being that busy.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're a lot of fun stuff.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Well you could be one of the netball administrators. So
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: quite a few of my team were running late on
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning and so the team manager sent a note
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: saying can someone please go and get the postpads and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the score sheet. So we arrived and I said to Pete,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you go and do that and I'll go straight down
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: there with the girls and start warming them up. And
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: then we got a message. You know, the postpads are there.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: So I sent him a note saying you just have
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to get the score sheet. And he went up and said,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I have to get a score sheet. He's never done
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: this before. And one of the netball administrators said, well,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: what team is it? And he said, was she's twelve?
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Well is it under twelves or under thirteen's? He went
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: under twelve and she said what team and she said
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Ravens and she said, we've got two Ravens team in
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: this age group.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: They finally worked it out and he said, look, I'm sorry,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not very good at this and she said, no,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you're not.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: My god, that's so what they're like too. I'm so
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: so blund Are.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: You thinking wondering up, not knowing details when these women
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: have got fifty million teens to get out, Like if
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: you want to go, I've got a daughter, she's twelve.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know she'd like. These women are trying to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: get so much done.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: That a life lesson for Pete. That's just not women
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: at association net ball. That's women just in general. I
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: think isn't it.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: You know I do, I have. I have enormous sympathy
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: for them, But it's also like just trying to help,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: just trying to clearly like I just you go and
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: sort that out and I'm over here. But then fortunately
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: managed to work their way through it. But it's like, actually, well,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to be a better place if there was a little
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: bit more on target feedback like that, I'm not very
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: good at this. No you're not. All she's doing is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: validating his view of himself. So yeah, so you could
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: do that, Liz. You could be that person.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I could be lookquip to be that person.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, can I ask a question about the Bunnings sausages
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: in the country? Are they better? I mean, I find
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: it hard to believe they are, but we better fresh
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: fresh mood hows and bits and pieces up in the
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: farm areas. Surely, No, they're just supermarket sausages. Oh does
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: that hurt you having to sell those two people?
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: No, because I know that it's all going towards getting
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: us some new PA system. So I don't care what
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: I sell as long as they.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Have this piece of rubber. Just give me your money.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Sell cigarettes to children, limitations.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Not much, but I've got some. No, I just it
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: was good fun, Like I didn't want to do it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: I was like, I've got to do it because they
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: have so many it's always the same women who have
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: to turn up and set it up. And I was like, no,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to suck it up and go and
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: help them. Anyway, I enjoyed it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: It was good on you. Did you have one?
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: No, but she didn't see I do have stand as Catherine.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't help myself. It's the smell, I know.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: But then it sort of repeats on you for the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: rest of the day, doesn't it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking about one now I'm starting to sell.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So look, it's probably time for us to wrap up,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: but we do need to actually just acknowledge you. A
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people are inviting people to join the Facebook group,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: which is sensational. Thank you. We are growing, like, I
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, growing like a weed in there, which is wonderful.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: So and I've had to change the regularity of the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: welcome posts for people because it used to be every
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: fifty members or so we'd send out the I'd put
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: up the post saying let's welcome our new members, and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: then it started to accelerate, and then it was every
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred people who joined, and now I've had to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: change it to every one hundred and fifty people because
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it's just happening way too often, because which is just wonderful. So,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: but do make sure you are inviting your friends to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: join the Facebook group, but that you are especially inviting
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: them to listen to the podcast. Please. I will keep
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: putting up there in the Facebook group how to listen
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to the podcast, but please make sure that everybody knows
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: how to join in for the fun. We haven't done
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: any whale sounds this week. That's something that you know
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen every week. You'll be pleased to hear. Although
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that was quite popular.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I was trying to do it in the car on
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the way.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: How'd you go?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Let's hear it?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't get my brain to make it
