• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Boy, Lizzie? You're off somewhere.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Where are you? I'm sorry, justin Tazzy drinking so much
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: local whiskey that'll probably see a Tasmanian tiger and forget
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: what I'm about to say.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: This is the No Dribble Summer Series.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Enjoy, guys, Hello.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And welcome to the No Dribble Summer Series. No, you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: know how this goes. I'm Herolyn SWINDEO, but I'm not
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: really here. I have checked out. I have gone on holidays.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Someone else who has gone on holidays Catcox, and someone
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: else in the far North Coast to you know, when
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: she's not working super hard, is always on holidays?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Is that would be zealous?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: This holiday?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: You speak of that?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you live in a holiday destination, don't you. So
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we've got someone who I don't think ever sleeps. Frankly,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited about our special guest.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Today.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It is your special guests. This person is an extraordinary overachiever. Yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: so I'll start you with some clues that probably won't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: help you that much, Catherine, but I think are very interesting.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Our guest is a pisces.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: No, these that bit never helps.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: No, it never helps. And if you don't know these things,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: cause I always have to look it up. It that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a February birthday, everybody. This person is one hundred and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: seventy one centimeters tall.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Oh shorter than Georgie Horges.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, shorter than Georgia Gorges. Still quite tall, though. This
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: person has an illustrious career in netball. That won't surprise you.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: That's not really a clue because most of our guests
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: have great careers in netball. But this one is on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and off court. During the on call part of this
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: extraordinary overachiever's time, they played center or wing attack.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It sounds briny Aklish.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, certain, Okay. This person is a fellow Brisney Lander.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not what it is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Okay. This person played netball for the Firebirds, the Orioles
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and the West Coast Fever.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, keep talking.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: In fact, if you went over to West Coast Fever headquarters.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You would see this person's name absolutely everywhere because not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: only did they captain No, that might be wrong, they
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: played for the Fever. We'll get that corrected in a moment.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I may have captained there, but also then went on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to head coach the West Coast Fever and led them
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to their first Grand Final win in twenty eighteen.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, we're getting there from there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: This person was the twenty eighteen Joyce Brown Coach of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Year and since twenty twenty this person has been
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the coach of the extraordinarily successful Australian time. I'm so there,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to give you the one we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: know where. This is the one. So were you to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: go to the bar for this person to buy them
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a drink or have a guy?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I reckon it because it's super rare. Yeah it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Scotch and something.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Scotch and dry.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: There you go, Stacey, Marinka Marinkovich. Welcome, Yeah, welcome Stace.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Now are you a Bogan trucker on the side?
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: What Scotch and dry Bogan track troller? No, but I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: think the garbage straggling is just arrived outside.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: My dog, my Bogan tracker, Catherine, I don't know.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like someone that drinks, like like any hard
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: liquor just for fun. Is I don't know. Is this
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a stretch? It's not bad other than comfort.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I reckon. I feel like Stacey. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: know you're our guess, so we will let you talk
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: at sometime at the next twenty minutes. But I feel
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: like I feel like Scotch and dry is a bit
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: refiners for the more mature palette, like if it's if
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: it's scotch and dry and a bit of mixer can,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Like if it was scotch and cocine a mixer can,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: then I get it. But Scotch and dry is a
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: bit sort of you know. The only thing more refined
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: is just scotch on the rock.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: A big whiskey fan. So I'm thinking I'd like to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: go to Glasgow with you later this year, next year?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: What year is it? This year?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: What twenty twenty five?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, let's just question, we're busy, when are we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: going to Glasgow?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't have a bottle of bean with a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: straw in it the case, so we've just clarified that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Gotcha's more sophisticated than the bourbon and the rum. I reckon,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I'm a couple of steps up.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, welcome to you anyway, regardless of your drink
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of choice. How funny that I knew what it was though,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And I've got to say everybody listening. I stupidly text
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Stacey just after Constellation Cup and said, I hope you're
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: enjoying some downtime. We'd love to have you on the podcast,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and she's like, downtime, what's that? I am doing reviews.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I am moving on to next year, so tell us
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: about what's going on in between then and what's coming
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: up States, because you are so hectic.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And has your heart rate returned to normal?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I think the big thing for us right now
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: is getting the review while it's all fresh of mine.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: So I guess the high performance team is still working through.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You know, you get back to the home and you've
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: got back into normal life like school, draft of making dinners,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: school lunches, all that sort of thing. But then once
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: you get back into your routine, it's then sitting down
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and go, well, what did we just experience? Because there
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: was a hell of a lot that happened over the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: two series, and we want to make sure that we
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: capture everything that we possibly can because we've got a
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: great opportunity in January bring the girls together again and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it's the last opportunity to really fine tune, refine, make
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: sure that we've got all our bases covered going into
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the final selection for the Commonwealth Game. So quite heavy
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: in November, and then I think when school sort of
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: breaks up, that's when the high performance staff or really
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: get some family time and refresh ready for January camp.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You talk about final selection, what's the timelines with all
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of that stuff ahead of the Common Games team being chosen.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just working through that at the moment. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a little bit different to just a normal selection. We
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: have to actually submit a team to the Commonwealth Games Committee,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: so they're sort of giving us their timeline, but it'll
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: be towards the end of the SSN rounds that will
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: have to submit the team. But when we notify when
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: we can call players or that sort of playing out
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: at the moment as the policies and procedures and all
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: that sort of thing are being refined and established in
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: collaboration with comm Games.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: How many can you take?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: We can take twelve players and three reserves. So they've
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: definitely made the call that the three reserves can't be
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: interchangeable at any point. So if you have a competition
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: ending injury, if someone does their ACL or there's major
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: illness or something like that, you can't change like what
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: we could do in the World Cup. Those three players
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: probably have one of the hardest roles because there is
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: no avenue for them to actually come into the twelve.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: But their role that they play with us is massive
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: in terms of our preparation and training and pushing the girls.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: You know in the lead up to.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: That, You're so right, that is the hardest role in
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: terms of being one of those three. And when I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: think back to campaigns that I was involved with as
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: a player, the moment you finish your last training session
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: before the opening ceremony, you're like, right, because it's the
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: opening ceremony, that is that's like the starting point of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the games. And so as long as you get to that,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you're okay. And of course you want to get there,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you want to play and you want to win. But
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to have that moment where you get through your last
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: session and you're like, oh, I could take a big
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: deep breath now because I'm there. But then you really
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: do feel for those athletes to go over and do
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: all the hard work, and you know they're not wishing
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: for someone to get injured, but they also know that
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: it's the only way they get their opportunity. So how
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: do you, Stacy, how do you, I guess, ensure the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: well being of those three reserves because the well being
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: work that gets done now across the entire ecosystem by
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Nebot Australia and you and the players Association is so
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: much better than.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: It used to be.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So can you just talk us through what that looks
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: like that what I was playing the world being was see, yeah,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you're right, okay, bye, thanks.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one we've even taken more steps from
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: our last com games. So last Con games it was
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: very much you know, we sat down with players, we
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: spoke about what the role entailed, went through the entire schedule,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: what would their training look like when we're their start
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: and finish points, and I guess gave them an opportunity
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: in space within the program to have those emotional moments
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: as well. So it was it was to actually acknowledge
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and I think the rest of the team did that
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: because of the whole scored mentality is that it was
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: a critical role for us, but a bloody hard one,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and it's only human nature that at some point it
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: gets tough, gets really hard to just keep rolling around
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to train with no end point. So that was certainly
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: something that we'd I guess spoken about prepared for, but
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: until you're actually in it, you don't know how players
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: are going to respond. And I think to the credit
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: that the players that we had in the last Markie events,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: they were incredible and they'd sort of done the work
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: with their well banned leads at their clubs as to
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: how they did it. They also made sure they had
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: this support networks their families around them so that they
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: could connect in with them, and I guess it's making
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: sure that we just made the environment one that they
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: really felt that they belonged in. In that side, this
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: next Conwell's Games, we've got another layer to what we
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: do have our performance psychologists and wellbeing lead that has
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: just recently traveled with us in the last tournament, So
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: it was really to see what that new resource could
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: bring to the program, because, as you said, like as
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: each tournament comes around, the girls are thrashing it out
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: in SSN. It's becoming que demanding mentally physically. Programs are
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: getting longer, the demands are getting higher. Obviously, the pressure
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: around international netball is at its peak at the moment.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: There's small margins and all the top teams where we're
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: winning and losing against each other. So you know, we
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: wanted to see what we could do in terms of
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: gain a competitive advantage or provide better support to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: players and also to the stuff. So we've got our
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: performance site and then they'll help maybe with a different
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: lead into this Comonwealth Games to better support those three players,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: but also the team going into what's going to be
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: a really big, big two years.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: When you look at the twenty twenty three World Cup,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: the reserves for that with Danelle Wallam, Ruby bak Ordor
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: and Kate Maloney, and now Kate Maloney's a vice captain,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: So you know, I think if you're if you're a
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: player who's picked as a reserve, you might I mean
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it's really hard to sort of to get over that disappointment,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: but you know you can. You can look at someone
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: like millenniy and go, well, look at what she's done
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: in the intervening period. Since that twenty twenty three World Cup,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: she's been extraordinary and her game has gone to a
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: new level.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that's the thing. There's a lot
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: of talk about the age of the athletes, but some
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: of our experience are playing the best they've ever played.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: And I think this is the part where high performance systems,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: the resources around the so called super netball clubs, what
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the Diamonds is providing, what the Players Association provides it,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: it's giving longevity to players. They're able to really understand
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: their bodies. Programs are heavily individualized. The loading is monitored
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: to the ns degree, so always talking to SMC coach
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: and your medical stuff. Can I can have another ten minutes?
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Can we work this a little bit more?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: God, I wish that was around when we were athletes.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I think we've had many past players come in and
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: talk to the girls and from the programs that used
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: to be to what they are now. I think there
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: was one story that, uh, you know, one one era
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: of players hadn't played particularly well, turned up to training
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: next day and they were now weren't allowed any water.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Now girls just sort of sat there and going, hang on.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: We've got you know, our hydralight, our power aid, our water,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: our snacks and all this and this pass playing my day,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: you would have died of dehydration. Dehydration.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Have you thought about introducing gas masks into the training regime?
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I understand.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Popular funny thing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I think normal plumber or there was a coach back
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: in the fever days we had a camp and they
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: put the gas mask on to restrict the reading. To
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: get that we did boot camps.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: We did it whilst we were doing the beat test. Stace.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: That was it. That was me came that year.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: There is nothing I can't snorkel because when you can
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: hear yourself breathing, it makes me feel claustrophobic. And that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: what that gas mask did when we were all doing
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the B test, because you're sucking it in at the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: best of times and then it's amplified inside this gas mask.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It was horrendous. But yes, we did do that. Can
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: we take you back to the Constellation carpent I mean
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it was up and down ebbs and flows to boot
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: in that one. But are you kind of glad to
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: play it out the way it did because it was
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the ultimate test for your team in the end.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I would have preferred to one in the sixty minutes.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I think there's much to gain from that as well.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But there was one point when we had to go
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: back to the change room, that really unique environment of
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: twelve minute break before coming back out, and you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: you pretty much say to the girls, we can't create
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: this opportunity ever in training or any other situation. So
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: in terms of preparation, this is it. This is the challenge,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: this is the part where you want to in that moment.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: And we talked about things that we've done at training,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: but you know, this is where I think we do
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: stand up well. Our experienced players definitely want the ball
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: in hand, and I thought it was incredible, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: just how players really stepped up with tenacity, particularly having
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: gone the duration of the game and then going another pardon,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: and that New Zealand crowd was ferocious. I probably haven't
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: experienced something as vocal and as direct to to the
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: on court players, and you know, that's that's what the
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: real rivalry is about, this Australian New Zealand passion and
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: it was heightened to the ends degree going into you
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: know that extra time period.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Now you've done it, your thoughts on the series Decide
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: of Time.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: I'd love five games. Yeah, I think you know, you
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: want to be able to play the sixty minutes and
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: capitalize over that period of time. But you know, this
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: is a stepping stone, and I think one it's a
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: step to go. You want somebody to win outright, So
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I guess that's one progression, and then I think eventually
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: it will go to the fifth game.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So interesting what you're saying there about saying to the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: players in that twelve minutes, we can't create this. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: think that's such a clever way of giving them a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of mental separation from the preparation, from the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: pressure of that moment that it's like, this is actually
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: your opportunity, not just your opportunity to get out there
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and win, but actually this is your opportunity to learn.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's ingenious to sort of create that perspective
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: there for them in that moment.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, one of the things that the
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: players and I sort of try to go to is
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: what is it that we're focusing on as opposed to
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the environment and the pressure. The pressure is there the
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: moment the girls take the dress, they know that there's
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: an expectation, and you know, as Liz and Coxy would
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: know that there's an expectation with the Diamonds that you win.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: It's a very unique sporting team that has had such
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: success and legacy, so it's kind of a given and
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it's what you do in those moments. So they go
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: very much to process, they go very much to the
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: connection of each other, and they just need to go
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: with simplicity. I think that's our biggest thing. It's not complicated.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: We don't have time to have massive game plans, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: you know it is. It's a game. You've got so
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: many restrictions around it. You know, you've just got to
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: be able to have the best cohesion under the highest
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: of pressure.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: And say, it's just talk to us about the feeling afterwards.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: You know, we watched that last game and we were
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: so wrapped that the Diamonds won, but then the injury
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: to Sunday. What was it like in the change rooms
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: in the immediate aftermath of that match.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Was probably awful, to be fair. It was one of
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: those moments that you saw the score, you saw the
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: time go down, you sort of put your hands up
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: and we go on. We won, and then you literally
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: put your hands down and there was tears and that's
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: pretty much that. That was the maximum amount of time
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: that we had to celebrate was richally look at the score, yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and then and it was flat. I've never seen the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: girls respond so emotionally with such immediacy, and same with
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the staff. She's much loved, and it's kind of like
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: when you see an athlete that's been building their performance
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: and you've been waiting to see them in full flight
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: and taking the game on and owning the BIB. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I thought she had an incredible series and for it
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to end in that way, you just sort of go,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: it's you know, it's it's incredibly tough, and you know
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: there's there's more to it in that her family or
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: siblings have had significant injuries with Ruth with her achilles,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: her brothers had broken leg and he's an elite basketball player,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: so all of this has happened in a very short
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: period of time. So it was compounded because we know
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: what her family's been through and we know what she's
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: going to have to now go through in her rehab.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: But you know, it was funny. Then the Australia Awards
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: was the day after I woke up. I was in Melbourne,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: rushing around trying to get an outfit. Walked into David
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Jones and she's in the shoe section finding some flats
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: because she just wanted nice shoes for the event. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: you know, she takes things in astride and she's already
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: back in Perth. She was already back in the gym.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: She had to do the extra strengthening stuff before the surgery.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: So she's an absolute champion. And I think even from
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the social media replying people would usually say, you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: hope you go well, good luck with your recovery. She
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: was getting common like absolute paragraphs from people because of
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the person that she is and how well she connects.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: So it's a credit to her and I know she'll
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: be well supported on this little journey back.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I did tell her at the Netball Australia Dianner that
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: she can be back with him six months because I
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: was sown she's a better athlete than I was. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: she looked and she looked at me like I was
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: an idiot, cause I think now the eight because I
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: am and b I think now is it nine months
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: or twelve months? What's sort of recommended?
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Twelve nine?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: To twelve, and I'm like, no, no, no, Sunday, you
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: could do it in six You'll be fine.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're anomally. I wish I wish it
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: could be six months. I think it'll be more the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: nine till twelve. But yeah, I guess it just depends
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: on how the surgery goes, what are they truly find
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: in there, and then you know, each step to bring
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: her back.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Stace, how do you and the Diamonds now have that
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: relationship with Sunday going forward, because obviously she'll go back
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to Perth, you'll do her rehab, have the surgery, all
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, but you clearly want someone like
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: that to remain very close knit and tight in your environment.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So how do you make sure that happens?
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what we try to do is when players
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: are outside of an environment is keep them connected, particularly
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: when they're not in a camp. So you want them
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: to be across what you're evolving on the court, what
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: the culture looks like. So sometimes will have where they'll
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: phone in, particularly around culture leadership sessions. She's part of
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: our leadership group, so she'll stay connected in that development
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: process throughout the year, so she'll still have that connection
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: and be able to develop and evolve herself in a
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: different way. And then I guess you know what we've done.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: When she wasn't involved in the South Africa series, Rich
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I would call her after games and sort of debraef
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: what did we see? Ask her what she saw. We
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: actually want them to contribute because they have a different
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: lens on the game and how they would go about things,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: so very much a very interactive way. But we also
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: have to be mindful they're going through rehabs, so when
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: is the right time for them to connect, When do
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: they feel most comfortable Because it's an emotional journey as well,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: so you know, you don't want to be putting everything
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: on them when they're trying to go through the hard
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: part of a rehab phase and that might be all
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: the emotional energy that they've got at a particular point
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: in time. So we'll work through that plan. I know
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: she'll want to be connected and yeah, as I said,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: she'll definitely be a part of our leadership component. We
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: have connect meetings where we bring the group together throughout
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the SSN period just so that we make sure that
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: we're on the same page and you know, still building
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the relationships amongst the group.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's time for things to get tough.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: These have been some fairly softball questions we've given you, Stacey.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I think you're up. You're up for the pressure of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: something we like to do is put up.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: So there was no hard hitting questions.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: To answer.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But you're about to enter Coxy's hot box, and this
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: is some rapid fire questions, unless, of course, you want
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to say something that's not rapid fire, or we get
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: interested in something and then we completely derail. But Coxy
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: has some questions for you. I believe that you're up
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: for the challenge. I think that you've faced some pressure
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: in your time and probably come through. Okay, So it's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: starting to a little bit.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: This is where people do start to sweat because it's
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: hot in my hot box. All right, are you ready?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Stacey Mareenkevich? Whata's your coffee order?
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I don't drink coffee dry? Shea a hot chocolate Okay,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: I love it?
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, summer or winter summer breakfast, go to or just
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: vegemite toast. How funny are you? And Carolyn?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: We'll get together and drink Scotch and have vegimie on toast.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be great, the best date of my life.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Oh God, and Elizabeth and I'll have my Moses and eggs.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: All right, funniest team member, and this can be across
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: any of your time as a player or as a coach.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Who's been the one that's just like every time you're like, Oh,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: for God's sake.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: She's gonna love this. But Hannah Monday, she.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Gets a lot of votes.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Someone so young, she has brought an absolute atmosphere to
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: the environment. So you probably guys experienced Shelley. Well I've
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: got the second version.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Well we know what Shelley's like, so
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I feel for you. But funny because Samoe mckinnerson, Hannah Monday,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: there you go. Tomato sauce in the fridge or the cupboard?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Cupboard.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: What's your favorite sport outside of netball?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: AFL?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Who's your team the Lions.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Lander?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Surely surely.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Favorite holiday destination?
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Well I just said summer before, but my best holiday
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: has been skiing in Japan.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Oh nice, So you can ski, then, clearly.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I can attempt to scare. I can stay standing up
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: better than what my husband does.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Anyway, snowboard or skis ski.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: See, Matthew just now the skiing and make his parents
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: look stupid.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I haven't taken him yet, but I know that my
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: husband was going very slow down it and there was
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: like these five year olds that kept running over his
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: skis and board. It was really funny. So pick it
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: up quite well.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get on that one early.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So Matthew in this instance is not Liz's husband. We're
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: talking about your primary school age son, right, So amidst
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: all of this other stuff, Yes, you.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Know Stacey has a holiday with my husband for quite
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: some time.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: He neither. Actually, we need to get the band back together.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: No, you don't.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: When you're on planes a lot. What do you do
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: on planes? What's your activity? And don't give me netball
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: stuff because I'm sure there's a lot of prep and stuff.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But what else do you do?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: No? Just watch Netflix pretty much. Just watch whatever movie
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: or TV series is happening at the moment.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that's your next question is what are you binging
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I watched The Diplomat second series.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: It's Harry Russell.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, Felicity, I'll get back into that. Who's the messiest
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: person you've been in a team with or you've coached
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: or just maybe hopeless who leaves things lying around.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: I can throw this person out of the bus because
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: they do it in every media. Thing. Is Amy Palmenter.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Second nomination.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: That's funny. To be fair, she is improving, and we're
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: probably helping each other improve because we both come in
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the flowering line of leaving drink bottles and things left
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: right and center. So rich has actually started to leave
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: her stuff around. So going Nicole richardson.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: So hang on, can we just can we just confirm
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: that rather than than you and Amy improving, you're trying
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: to drag everyone down.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: It's like you got it. It's like once you lose
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: one thing, you get into this routine. And then I've
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: had the girls actually take my drink bottle hide it,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: and then it's reported with the air hostess. Does anyone
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: you know lost their yellow, frank green drink bottle or whatever?
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: And I have to sit there and go, that's mine.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: But they've taken it and actually made out.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: They set up majorly.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and ps, it doesn't sound very high performance of you.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: You need to lift your game stage. Okay, do you
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have any tattoos?
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: No, no tattoos. My husband has enough for both of us.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough? All right, what's your favorite music genre?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, to be honest, I just play whatever was on
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: the radio. I am useless at music. Do whatever the
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: girls are playing. I just jump on board with everybody else.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: There seems to be a lot of country music at
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the moment. Are you hearing a lot of country music
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: from the girls?
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Our strength and conditioning coach plays country music when he's
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: driving out the staff to game, So definitely hearing a
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: lot of that and a lot of sing alongs Neil
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: diamond By. You know rich I is involved with with
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: all of that sort of stuff. So anything this is
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: sing along, that's usually what's on the staff bus.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: God, I miss team environments. I love all that stuff. Okay,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: last question, and this one is very important to Liz
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: ellis how do you have your steak cooked pressure medium?
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Oh that's okay, that'll do well.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: To pass said, well done. And I think Liza has
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: been in the fetal position since.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I don't ever if you asked rich O that question.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: She it has to be dead, like pretty much charcoal.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: She sends stuff back or she just sits there. She
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: just won't touch anything. That's got red in it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, so form rich, I'm hearing Neil Diamond and well done, Steak.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Is she pension her?
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I can throw these potshots at the moment because
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: she can't come back at me.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: That's what it was to know, but we might't chase that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I pass with you.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: You passed with flying colors. And thank you so much
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: for your time, because stupidly I thought you were kind
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: of freezer bird right now, but you are very busy.
