• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Don't tell Mom.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: talk about netball and oh my god, what an exciting
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: netball week it is, but we also talk about a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: whole lot of other stuff. My name is Carolyn Swindel.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I am joined as always by two very good friends
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of mine.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Catherine Cox, who got wordle in three this morning.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Oh no way, Alice, who got word all in four.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But I got strands without a hint.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Strands.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I love strands.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: What strands?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Strands is like word all but for really smart people.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it's the word search thing. But you don't.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: There's a theme.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Strands spelt as it should be spelt. Has I've got
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: a funky z or something at the end.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: No, No, that's how should be fair. And you're find
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: it on the New York Times. Ami, do you use
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: the app for wood?
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I use the app because there's all these other free games.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I like Connections the best.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Oh I don't, because I'm addicted to word or so
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: now you're going to read.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: This is great because word as it's over so quickly,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and then you've got to wait until the next day.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And you've got a few of these little ones that
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you only get one shot at. So if you have
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: an addictive personality type, as I do, you can't sit
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: there for nine hours trying to get a better result.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It doesn't come up until the next day. But it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: several games.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, come on it. My sister got wordle in
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: three this morning as well, and the first word of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: choice was penis nice. There's a great five little word
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: to kick you off.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I usually go with one that has three veils, so go,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: which is CPR yeah, and.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It's got so yeah. That's a good one. I go
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: with reads okay, yeah, it's got good common letters in it, Elizabeth.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I go with sport, which is useless, but I.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Like it, pno yours yeah yeah, or piano.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Good ones.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I also would like to recommend quordal and octurtle. Octurtle
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: is fun to say because you get to say turd too,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but it's four wordles at once, and octurtle is eight.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It's so good, goodness, it's so good. Where is this
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just write quadal and it comes
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: up right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just googling all of this.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But to start off with Catherine, get the New York
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Times out.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: The only thing is Karen said that if you're going
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: an addictive personality, you can't sit in it. If you subscribe,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: then you can. I have resisted the temptation to subscribe.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: But it's good and I actually get them. Like you
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: know how it says share your results. I share mine
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: with my sixteen year old niece, and it's how we
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: have conversations by sharing our wordline strands and connections results.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Oh that's nice, that is good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I I communicate with my son, who I live in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the same house with. That's where you're seending messages on
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Instagram of things that we've seen that are funny.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: So what about dinner time?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're still we sit down for dinner.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: But I know about how do you communicate Lewis at
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: stinner time? Do you have to text him? No?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I walk up the hallway. Sometimes he pretends that he
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't have his phone in his hand. It's like, yeah, niss,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: speaking of your niece, did you watch her play on
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the weekend? Is that right?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I did. Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Monday's Friday, she played in the Division one Grand Final
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: in Baliner and I went down to watch.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: As soon as I saw both teams warming up, Bridy's
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: team is all sort of fifteen sixteen seventeen, and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: team they were playing against more experienced veterans. And you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: know when you look at two teams and you go,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: this young team is going to get murdered because the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: elder women. You can just say that we was smarter
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: and they were just and they did exactly what you'd
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: do if you were playing youngsters.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You know, a bit of a push here, a bit
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of a shove there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: A bit of a niggle, be able to afford a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: house ye.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Kick them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know there was too much lip going on,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: but that would be a good sledge. I was watching
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: it and I thought, oh, Brighty's team needs is like.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: An old head.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I wonder if I could pull on the books next
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: year and I haven't run around, and actually I started
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to think about whether I could play again.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: How funny that you looked at those two teams and
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: you thought the elderly late or the old. Well, as
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: soon as I said that, I realized it came out wrong.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: The older ladies would be better because I would have
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent put my money on the youngsters because I.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Used to get my ass handed to me when I
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: was a kid at Hawkesbury by a team who were
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: just older women, and they just they're so smart, right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: they know how to use their butts and their bodies
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: to sort of push you off balance. And you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: you're young and you're enthusiastic, but it's just that level
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: of experience, and you could just see the younger team
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: just falling a little bit of a hole, and you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: and the older team they weren't that much older. That
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: was sort of anywhere from sort of I don't want
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: to guess their ages. They went old. They just went seventeen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: But my son were in the back of the car
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and he goes, mum, one of those ladies in that team,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: I reckon she.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Was, oh God.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I was like, dude, you have so much to learn about.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but I was sad for Brides. But the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: team that won, they've been trying to win the Division
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: One Grand Final for years, so I was really excited
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: for them.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: It was so much fun, Like sitting in the sunshine
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: on a Saturday afternoon. There was like people were three
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: and four deep all the way around the court.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It was just it was great. Yeah, I loved it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It was great fun.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: And one of the dads in Bridy's team, anyone who
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: went to State Chance would have seen and heard him.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: He comes dressed up in like a blue wig and
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: a blue superhero and he's got a Harley right up
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: before the game and it's like, yeah, go all Saints,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: and it was it was funny, go lightning bolts. It
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: was fun. It's a fun afternoon. So but yeah, Bride's lost.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: But the other thing that I have to report, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: spent a weekend watching sports grand final. My little girl
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: who lost her semi final last week won a grand
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: final on Friday night.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Really exciting. Yeah, her first ever grand final win.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: How you ask? Well, it wasn't netball?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Oh my, she cheating on our sport with another sport.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Oh in a team for the boys. She's the only
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: girl in the under thirteens Lenox.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Oh she's already won them.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Oh fantastic. She was sorry rugby union?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Did you say rugby union?
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: So they won their grand final on Friday night, which
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: was so exciting. I was so nervous and like the
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: whole game, I felt sick and I was.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Like rocking forwards and backwards. Just I said to my mum,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: who was there. Mom, I'm so sorry what I did
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to you all these years.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Like it must be awful to be the parent of
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: an athlete who's playing at like a senior level anything,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: because I was. I felt sick all day Friday, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: then so nervous watching the game.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And it was the under thirteens.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: And legitimately she's the only girl.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: She's the only girl. They were the team.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: They were playing against another girl as well, and like
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: I was so proud of her. She didn't know a
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: soul in this team at the start of the year,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: but desperately wanted to play rugby. We tried to get
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: into a girl's team, but there wasn't enough girls in
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: her age group, so we went and asked if the
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: boys team had a spot, and they did, and the
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: coach was fantastic, just a lovely bloke. The boys are
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: all really respectful of her.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: So what age will that change for her?
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: She can play, she can play next she and then
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: with girls with boys, so she can play in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: under fourteens, but then that's it. And as we were
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: leaving the under fifteenth Grand Final and I'm like, yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: she's not playing in that age group because they are men. Yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: because you know, she's a big, strong kid. So she
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: holds her own. She actually she plays in the backs,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: but she holds her own and she played really.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, do they get trophy still? She had
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a medal?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, do trophy still exist at netball juniors and stuff
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to win them once you get to
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: under ten. So my daughter was horrified because it's so well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: don't we just get our participation trophy? No, now you
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: have to actually win it if you want a trophy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Well, that makes sense, doesn't it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I just you know, here's a trophy for having played netball.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's really smart because it's like you're a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: drug dealer and you give someone their first hit. It's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like they're early to the sport. Give them trophies. They
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: love it. They've got clothing in their room. They want
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to get more trophies, they want to get medals. They
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: display it and so and then after a while it's like, okay,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you're under elevens now now you actually need to win
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: this thing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Have either of you got any junior trophies?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: No, anywhere.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I might have a swimming one somewhere. I don't know
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you kept I've got. I've got my grand Final indoor
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: netbool trophy from when I was in my twenties.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Have you where is it? Pride of Place?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I think I used it in our original photo shoot
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: for the podcast. Oh yes, you guys had your World
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Cup medals and your Comwealth Game medals, So I brought
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: my top end indoor sports Sunday afternoon mixed netball compal.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Winners as you should. Do you have any trophies left, Catherine,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Never no, long gone.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I kn't even think when I would have got rid
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: All My medals are in that box there, so under
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: your ASOS returns, Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Exactly, medals.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I've got trophies, they were long gone. Did Madge keep
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: any Yeah?
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: No no, because when you grew up and moved house,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I was like, no, I can't be bother taking these.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: So no, all I've got his memories and they're fading fast,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: obviouseas I'll get older. But no, so everyone's got a medal,
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: But I am. I'm a big cut actually, Like I
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: love her playing other sports, but I am a bit
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: cut that her first grand finally wasn't in netball.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it did hurt my heart. I don't know what
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to do about it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Well, she's a winner, so that's a good thing. You
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: can feel good about that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But I have sympathy for you here that like, as
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: someone who has been to the top of a sport
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that you love and now you are actually the top
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of the sport on the other side of the equation,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that it's like, Okay, maybe you're going to go in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a different direction. I think that's hard.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Well, that's obviously a fight that my husband and I
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: will have to take to the car park because he playing,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: you know, for the Warratars, and he's twenty one in
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: rugby union, so he's a bit chuffed that her first
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: medal is or her first grand finally is rugby.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: What's her take on it? She doesn't care, does she.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: She just likes to win.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so she's smart, right, She's just say to her father,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: he's my favorite sport, and she'll say to me, not netball,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: it's my favorite sport.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Nice trophies.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: She'll do fine. So Wayne Gretzky, you know, the greatest
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: ice hockey player of all time. His son played baseball
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: at a high level. I did, Jannick Noah, the tennis player.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: His son played for the Chicago Bulls. And Darryl Strawberry.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I only know about Daryl Strawberry because of the Simpsons,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: but he was a baseball player and his son dj
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: played for the Phoenix Sons. And of course Phil Kerns's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: daughter Tilly Kerns has just been in our amazing water
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: polo team over at the Paras Olympics.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Jason Little's daughters in super netball training squads, I think
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: in the oh, that's exciting.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: So and my husband played in the same twenty one
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: team as him, So there he goes.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: All my Queensland had on Since you've brought up Jason Little,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: so it was it must have been about the ninety
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: one World Cup, and Jason Little and Tim Horn were
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: living in the neighborhood that I was living in Brisbane,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: so I feel like I have a connection there obviously,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: but I want to on behalf of Queenslanders state my
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: objection to the fact that there's no test in Brisbane
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and that there are two in Victoria within like two
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: hours drive of one another. I feel like, you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I feel very happy that there is one in Sydney
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that I can go to without getting on an aeroplane.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: But I'm outraged for the people of my home state.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: People of your homestate probably need to get in contact
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: with their premiere and say, get in contact with Netball.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Australia and throw some money.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Throw some money at it, right, because that's how major
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: events are decided now as to where they get held.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: And so the two that are in Victoria because of
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: the Visit Victoria deal.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So there you go. So that's what you've got to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: don't get outrage, get active.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just going to get outraged because yeah, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: quite clearly the government of New South Wales has done something.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So but you know, I'm just wanting to be a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: voice for the netball lovers of Queensland and I know
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: many yes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: I would love to have a Test match in Queensland
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: because then that's a match that I could drive to.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, of course Brisbane. So yeah, but I mean
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: obviously I get no say, sadly.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Are you going to the mall live in your new role.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: No, I'm going to some I'm not going this Thursday
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: night because I was actually booked to work on the
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: project on Thursday night, so that was a prior thing
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: that I had. So I'm going to the match on
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Sunday in Sydney obviously, because I'm also.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Going to do a little bit of an event before.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: How exciting is Yeah, and then I will go to
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: the match in Perth, the Constellation Cup match in Perth
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: and the Constellation Cup match in Melbourne.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Oh so we're both on the road in Perth.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Is say, that's contange of written all over it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Well, just thinking.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this for the last three pot carts
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: in a row and you've gone, oh my god, we're
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: in Perth act the same time. Really, certainly I have
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: been present when you two have had this conversation about
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: being in Perth at the same time. So God, maybe
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the brain cells are needing a little little bit of support.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We just get excited if we're anywhere at the same
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: time because it doesn't happen much. So yeah, it could
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: have been Sydney.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to talk about the test soon, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: for many of our listeners who won't get to go
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to numerous tests, and I am one of those. I'm
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: only going to go to the Sydney One. I thought,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: how do we celebrate this properly at home? So in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: a past life, I used to be a cocktail writer.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So I have got some cocktail suggestions for those of
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: us who are watching from home. Yes, I have a
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Diamonds cocktail and I have two Rows cocktails.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Now I can always pull you up a cocktail writer.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, to explain, well, I had a blog called Shakespeare
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Muddle and each week I would each fortnight I would
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: review a different cocktail.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: It was awesome the entire time.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Look, it was tough on my liver that period, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: then I stopped doing it. But I became like this
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: cocktail expert for ABC Radio and every time someone needed
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a cocktail ex and that was thanks to Elizabeth Ellis,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: who was doing a summer You were doing summer radio stint.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: You said, can you come on and talk about cocktails
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: with a hangover? So we talked about the Bloody Mary.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And then you get put into the database of experts
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: at the ABC and the periodical. So I had to
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: do a cocktail segment for when Harry and Meghan got married,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: you know. So I'm not a oil wedding commentator. Yes,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: thank you for cocktails.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: But what I liked about what you did, Carolyn, which
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: whites spun my wheels, is, as everyone knows, I'm a nerd,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: and I'm particularly a history nerd, and so I love
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: that you wrote, like your blog posts and of it.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And that's why we got you on the radio.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: It was because you give a great historical The thing
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: with cocktails is there's all this history our own cocktails, right,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: and Bloody Mary is a particularly interesting, bloodthirsty historical story.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: And so like your audio, cocktails, and you don't give
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: a thought to why they're called what they are and
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: to where they were van right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: So like a screaming organ why is that called that?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Is there some history to that?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I suspect them, Yeah, you don't spect. I think
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that was just the seventies when well, let's get a bit,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you know, slipped and nipples, screaming organism. But I first
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: got the idea for it when I was at a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, and it was at this hotel,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: was at the bar, and they said the tequila sunrise
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: was invented here. And it's contested there's two places that
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: claim to have invented the tequila Sunrise, but it never
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: occurred to me that, of course someone invents a cocktail.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So I thought that that's where I became interested in it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And I'll put together some little recipes that were put
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on the social media. So no need to grab a
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: pen and paper, app, I just want to give some
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: quick recommendations of diamonds and rose cocktails.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: So have you invented these?
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: No?
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, no I have not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: So the first one is called the jack Rose, which
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think you could also if you're watching Titanic you
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: could pally. There was so much room on that door rose. Anyway,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: so he is tell me I'm wrong. So anyway, the
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Jack Rose, you'll need Culverdos, which is like an apple
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: brandy from Normandy, lime juice and grenadine, and it's got
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a nice rosy glow. Now this was our first cocktail
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: that we had last night. Yeah, So Mark Calvados, I
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: just wanted to do a quick side bar. He and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: my mate, his grandfather at sixteen years old. It was
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: one of the Allies who landed at D Day and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: then a couple of days later when they got through
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that whole kind of saving Private Ryan opening scene, which
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: is apparently quite sort of like what it was. He
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: had a couple of days off, they went into this
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: small village and the local said, here, have some of
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: our calvados. And so the first time he ever got
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: pissed was at sixteen years old, having survived the landing
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: at Normandy on D Day.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: So wow, coo, that is a.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Really cool story and a good enough reason to get drunk.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Underage, that's right, and you know, raised raise a glass. Well,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: are you really underage if you've been in a war zone?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: So.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: If you're a Roses supporter, you can have a jack
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Rose or you can have a strawberry Rose gin fizz.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Now I've all I like the cocktail that I have
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: for the Diamonds is a Diamond Fizz, So they're quite similar.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: So it's gin. You need a rose simple syrup, so
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: get some rose water and then it's a sugar syrup,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: lemon juice, strawberries that you then mash up and get
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: some juice, pinch of salt and it says soda water,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: but I topped it with sparkling wine. So that is
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the strawberry rose gin Fizz. Now I really liked it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big rosewater fan, but this was the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: strawberry I think balances it. For the diamonds, I'm suggesting
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: a diamond fizz, which is gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and then top it with a champagne or sparkling wine.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And I think, don't use real champagne to top a cocktail.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Use the cheap sparkling wine for that, and garnish with
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: a lemon slice. So I want to see dribblers shaking
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: up some cocktails and enjoying this with me on a
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: virtual basis.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: On Thursday night as you watch the diamonds.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's great.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: But I only have one complaint, right, and I really
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: hope that this is not an omen It's a three
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: test series and you've given us two roses one diamond.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe one was enough for the diamonds, but you're right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: that is all right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I'm back to the drawing board.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: No, no, I just need to bring another one next week.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: How exciting that this time next week it might be
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: one apiece, could be two wins to the diamond No.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: But given the logic, it could be two to the roses.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: So you need to come up with one now all right,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: just not to be a complete freak about this, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Diamonds one.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Now, you two need to talk about the game, talk
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: about some like Netty type stuff, and I'm going to
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: have one by the end of the episode.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So the Diamonds would be in camp, Catherine, would they know, Well.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: They just finished a week long camp that was in Canberra,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: so they're down there doing all the usual. They're doing
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the meetings and their weights, and they had lots of
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: match play. Because I had lunch with Annie sergeants last
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: week and she was literally about to jump in the
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: car and head down to Canberra for selection.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And when she did, what did she use to get
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: her through the entire trip from Sydney to camera?
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: She binged no dribble from the start because she hadn't
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: listened to an episode. I was like, oh my god,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: you're going to be completely over us the time to.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Get to camera.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I sent her a message and just said, are you okay?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she had Well, it was a kaday on Thursday,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: so it was probably the right time for you to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: do that. Anyway, good time.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: She was down there in with selector hat On watching
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: match play very intently because obviously they've got to pick
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: a team from this extended team before they head.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a team of fifteen, and they'll have to name
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: a team of twelve. Would they change that team for
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: each game or were the same twelve run through all
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: three games?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I do you know what I don't see this is
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: that's my thing. I'm a bit on the fence about
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: this because there's a very, very big part of me
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: that hates the idea of people being given a test cap.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I hate that I sat on the bench, I steal
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: it for three years, never got played, was in the team,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: and you had to earn your right and you had
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: to bide your time, and you had your starting seven
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and they were the ones that are on the court.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: But then I also don't understand why you pick people
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: if you're not going to play them and give them
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: the experience. And I think, Liz, I don't know, but
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: given the timing of the cycle, it is the time
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: to put people on the court and to test them
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: and see your options, isn't it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: And the thing that I have to keep reminding myself
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: because I know old crotchety Liz goes.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, I should have starting seven and like you should.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: And then I go, well, actually the game's changed, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: we're seeing it change now at super NETBWL with continuous subs.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: And I suspect at some point, I don't know this obviously,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: but I suspect at some point World Netball did the
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: same allow continue subs and that sort of stuffle, you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: during play subs. So you know, I do feel like
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: we sort of have to roll with the times. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: so yeah, of course, and I suspect I don't know
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: what Stacey Rinkovic is thinking, but she'll be advised by
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: her select as well, and for her, it's a thing
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: you've got to balance up. Yeah, you want to keep winning,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: and there is an expectation that the Dymonds win, but
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: you want to see who who steps up. She's got
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: now three years until the World Cup and or three
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: international seasons, so what twenty four, twenty five, twenty six
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: or three international season, She's got to see who stands up,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: who she's going to take to the Conwawk Games in
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty six if Netball's included, and then the World
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Cup at home.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So now that this is the year that we go, right,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: who's available. So I suspect that's what she'll do.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: There have to be a big pool surely to around
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: venues and who gets played where do you think, because
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: it would be a travesty not to see Georgie horge
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Just on court in Adelaide.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: More of a travesty than not having a game at
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: all in queen.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Land, totally.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I disagree, butirds ticket holders, I'm yeah, well there's no
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Queenslanders in the team, so.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: No pattern none.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: That's embarrassing, doughnuts, there's no Queens Yes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I think that that can't come into the equation at all.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: No, I don't. It doesn't, of course it doesn't. But
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: it would be awesome to be able to say to
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: players like Tillie Garrett and Georgie Horges, not Lucy Austin
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: because she's in the extended squad, but she's been on
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: the camp and stuff with them, but how good would
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: that be to be able to have them play, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: particularly Horgees if it's her debut, to be able to
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: do it in Adelaide. I know that that's not what
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: will happen, but we can all just cross our fingers.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: It would be great.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: But surely if there's a line ball on this stuff though,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you go with yep, let's.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: See you us would I reckon?
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: If you're a high performance coach, you try and find
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: the data to support your decision.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh, this is smarter ping pink peak.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: This is why none of us are high performance coaches, right,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: because we'd be like, oh, well, what of the crab one?
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Just one of the reasons. But the beast thing about
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: this for the Diamonds, of course, is that they've just
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: finished all of their training. They're now on tour, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: that is that by far the best bit, isn't it
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Like you're not training every day, you're not doing all
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: the boring stuff, but you actually start to get into
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the nitty gritty of the games, and you get to
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: travel around and you do it as a team. And
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: that's very little bit of the Shenanigans come into it too.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I've got to say, probably not with these guys because
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: they're so mature. But Liz Ellis she was up for
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: a Shenanigan or two.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I can help with Shenanigans. I've got another cocktail, just fantastic.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It's called the Diamond. It's equal parts light rum, so
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: like a bacadi or white rum, equal parts light rum
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: gin and triple sex. Shake it over ice, serve it
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: with lemonses. So I have not road tested this one,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: but I will do so during the game on Thursday night.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Well you only need one by the sound of that. Yeah,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: three three spirits.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Well it is a grown ups game.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Joys us.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: If I had that at the start of the game
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: halftime about yes, because I did the other three cocktails
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I did. I tested them all last night, polled them
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and it's like by seven o'clock, I'm like, it's a
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: bedtime yet I'm.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Dinner.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: That might be a funny game if I'm in commentary,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: maybe every time I say something, everybody's got to make themselves.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: A new cocktail.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: You could make? Could we set up a secret code word?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I don't want to risk your job, but.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: You know I would not that. I'm far too sensible
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: for that. Elizabeth, do you know how she just kind
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: of know you got her out of the trouble with
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: the Shenanigans question Lizellus on tour? What do you reckon?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: She got up to?
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Do you reckon?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: She got much pre test match?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't imagine that you can play that. Well
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: if you do, If if you behave in the way
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: that I've seen you nowhere near a Test match. I'm
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: pretty sure you wouldn't have played that well. So I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: think based on your performance history, you were probably quite
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: good in the seventy two hours before every Test match.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: We're always good.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, Catherine's pulling faces, but we were always good,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: like you going to camp and yeah, last.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Week you talked a big talk about that, a week
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: of no booze and you know, no, we were there.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: And there's always I mean, there's so many great tour stories,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: isn't there depending on where you've been. And South Africa
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: was certainly one of the most interesting because just of
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: safety reasons and everything else. And we would always have
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: police escorts in South Africa. You'd never stop at a
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: red light. You'd have police in front of you with
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: the signs going the bus behind you. And what are
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the funniest stories which you're going to tell right now,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Just reminded me of it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: The first time we went to South Africa, we had
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: police sort of with us, and anytime we went somewhere
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: we had to have a policeman with us, like physically
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: walking with us. And we went to the shopping center
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: and Cheryl and I wanted to get our legs wax,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: so we shook the policemen and ran.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Away from him. We wouldn't got out of legs wax.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: And when he found us, he absolutely read us the
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Riot Act and told us about all the women who'd
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: been kidnapped from shopping centers in South Africa and they'd
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: found their bodies weeks later, and he scared us so much,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: and eventually we're all just like hanging on to Hi.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, dear, I think wanted a bikini wax,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: didn't she? That was more than She's like, I don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: think I need to have him there with his guns
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: standing next to me while this.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Is happening, checking to see if the wax is too hot.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: There's safety issues here. These women are my responsibility.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty loose to her.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course none of that will be happening now
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: because they're in Australia. They'll be just you know, the
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: biggest thing they'll be worrying about is where they're getting
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: their good coffee from.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: So there has been a lot of other really good
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: netball happening over the weekend, and one of those we
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: talked about last week, we talked about the Murray Little Shield,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: and Liz, you told us about a video that you
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: had been sent by Stacy West about a little post
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: goal celebration and I hope everyone got a chance to see.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: It's on the Facebook page and it's just it's gorgeous.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: It's a really lovely little celebration. Then she got high
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: five from the keeper who was defending her. We have
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: had a message from the sister of that girl and
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it says, Hi, guys, we were just listening to your
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: recent podcast and we heard the section in the Little
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Maury Shield about the girl doing a dance after she
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: shot a goal. It was my sister. It was so
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: adorable and feel free to post it on your page.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: You have full consent. It was such a beautiful moment
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: and we were so happy you guys got to see
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: it much love. Isn't that fabulous?
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: It's so good, Like it just keeps popping up because
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: people keep commenting on it, and it's something that we
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: probably don't see enough of ryme, but it just it
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: just made my heart sing.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: I love that little video and I love the Murray
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Little Shield because it's such a feel good sort of moment.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: And if you're looking for some more footage, there's actually
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: someone the Netball Australian Instagram page. There's lots of behind
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: the scenes stuff and particularly of the teams sort of
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: hanging out together and doing stuff together, which is really cool.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And I got an amazing I hope people might have
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: seen this one too. I got a fabulous message from
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Adrid Blair yesterday who pointed something out. You know, we've
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: asked you all to share photos of Grand Finals and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the like that are going on around the country and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: we are loving seeing them. And this is something that
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I live in my buddy little La La land, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: it hadn't even occurred to me. But please do make
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: sure that if you are going to be sharing any
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: photos that you have specific consent from the parent or
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: guardian of any child in that image. And how dribbler
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: pointed out that some families who have DV issues can't
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: be sharing photos of their kids for privacy and safety reasons,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh do I hadn't thought about that,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: but of course it makes perfect sense, so let's keep
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: it safe and huge thanks to this dribbler who contacted
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: me and did it in such a positive and constructive way.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody's so fast to go to outrage, but you know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: she didn't send me a message shaking of fists saying
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you guys are jeopardizing children's safety or anything. She just
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: pointed this out as something that we could improve, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I'm so grateful. It was just such a great reflection
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I think of the community that we're building here.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Do you know what that happens a lot to me
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: in commentary, just with things you say. And I'm so
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: appreciative because a lot of the stuff we say because
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: historically it's something you're saying. And one of the greatest
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: ones was, you know, when a shoot of shoots, they
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: pull the trigger. And I actually had a lady contact
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: me a very similar circumstances saying had a friend that
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: was in a domestic violence situation and that's a really
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: alarming thing that you're saying. And I said, I completely apologize,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: had never occurred to me at all, and since then,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: just because she'd brought it to my attention, it's something
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I'm very very aware of now and I don't say
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: at all but until you know, until these people make
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: contact and pointed out so appreciate it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: We do.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: If someone shakes their fists at you, you're likely to
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: uk up and go yes more. But if someone goes, oh, hey,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: you might not know this, but here it is, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: you know, I would love for you to keep in
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: mind you go oh, well, of course, because if you
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: walked up to someone and said that, that's how you'd
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: approach it. Whereas sometimes online we get outraging up why
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: are you people?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: And I remember when I was playing I got trolled
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: and I went back to that person and someone sent
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: something through my like to the admin email at my
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: old website that I used to have, and I used
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: to go through and just check those emails. And I
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: went back to them and said, look, I don't think
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: this is a very nice thing to say to me.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: And they were like, oh, I didn't realize you'd read it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about it to you.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Like I have so many minions who do
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: all my things. We do often forget that there's somebody
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: at the end of these messages.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: So it's great when people are considering that, and it
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: makes us far more able to take the message in
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, we're all learning and evolving people. So
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Lizzie and I are in our fifties, Katherine, you're like forties.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Am our fabulous producer is much younger than us. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: on a number of occasions we'll press pause and say,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think we use that expression anymore now. Please
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: don't think we're sitting here saying rattling off races remarks
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: or anything, but it is it is great to go.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Hadn't even thought about that, Like, that's you know, that
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is not language that gets.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: This is why we have millennials play with us.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, so true. Hey guys, Off the back
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of the Marie Little Shield.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: There was another great event Netball Australia event this week
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: and it was the inaugural First Nations Tournament.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, Melbourne. It was amazing right.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Every state and territory was represented and cutos to all
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: the state bodies.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: It was something that had to commit to with not
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a huge amount of leading.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Was a really quick turnaround, but they all did it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: They all got a team there and it was driven
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: by Ali Tucker Munro who many people would remember as
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: she was I think the assistant coach to Julie Fitzgerald
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: for the Giants one year and she's our first Nation's
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: lead at Netball Australia and she was desperate to get
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: something like this off the ground.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: And Queensland won and the Queensland.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I was there, Carolyn Test match come on, so we
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: represent Dips.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Will never cheer for anybody else winning anything. Sorry that
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: is sentenced.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: No, And I would not accept that this was rigged
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: for queens anthemine because they didn't get a Test match.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: In fact, I had a great coach.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: I had Sharon finn and White who was a member
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: of the Diamonds and she's been running First Nations programs
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: in Queensland for a.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: While, so to have her selected to coach was great.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Josie Chance Dawson coached the Waighte so you know, we're
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: starting to see.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Players come through and people come through who we knew
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: as players now as coaches. And it was such a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: great event.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: I saw some footage online a bit of a dance
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: off and some stuff that was happening, so there was
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: a real joy around the event as well.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to Shads.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: She's MYLD, my favorite roomy back in the days where
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: we played in the Opens in New South Wales and
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: I spreaking Shenanigans.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: When she played. I was only there for a minute,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: but I have played with all three of those players
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: he just mentioned, oh have you, Yeah, every single one.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: All defenders too, just quietly what's going on there, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: all brilliant players and very passionate about the course. So
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: so good to see this is up and running and
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: them all participating in it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and hopefully it'll it'll grow as easy and then
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a way to we know that we've
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: got lots of First Nations players at grassroots, but we
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: really don't have enough playing in senior levels and we
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: don't have enough First Nations women, you know, on boards
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: within netball, we don't have enough First Nations umpires and coaches.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: So this is a way to sort of really kickstart
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: that process. And I was just so excited that it went, well, yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: That's fabulous and this is a net All Australia initiative.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's really driven by Ali Tucker Monroe. And
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: when we did the stat of the Game review, one
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: of the recommendations was that there was a First Nations
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: lead employeed at Netball Australia to really drive these programs.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: We've got a great First Nations board member, Professor chryl
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: kick At Tucker from Western Australia, who is so amazing,
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: And now Ali is a First Nation's lead and you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: she put together the Black Swans program, which is a
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: First Nations team that has played a couple of different tournaments,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: and now she's really driven this this tournament.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And there's some other initiatives.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Going on to around online coaching courses and that sort
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: of stuff for First Nations people. So yeah, there's a
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: lot of work going on sort of under the tournament
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: is the show piece and the Black Swans are the
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: show piece, and Ali's doing a hedred work underneath to
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: make sure that they're not just show pieces. That are
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: there's a significant change that we see through the system.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: So I couldn't be happier as to the work that's happening,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: and I'm really excited to see where it leads.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: And just what the value of representation actually rather than
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: talking about issues, you talk to people who are really
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: affected by the issues and ask them to advocate for
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the solutions and things. Just fantastic, good job Netball Australia.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I think that we've got some important matters to attend
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: to before we finish up. One of those is something
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: that we do every week and we love doing it
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: is the Wind Beneath Our Wings now dribblers. This has
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: caused some fairly significant debate eight at the Yeah, it's
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: innovative and it's cheeky.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I love cheeky.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there's something. Well, anyway, let's have a listen.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: It's a voice note to start with, which is absolutely terrific.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: It's out of the state of New South Wales and
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that'll please Cath. I mean, so let's have a listen
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and then we'll talk about it from a governance and
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: policy perspective. From the Wind Beneath Our Wings nominations process.
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: Hi, Liz, cath Carolyn. This is Ronda Daniel from Maitland
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and Maitland RSEL Youth Club Netbak Club. And this is
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: going to be a bit of a shameful plug because
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: I am that desperate to win one of your no
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Dribble scrunches that I want to nominate myself for Wind
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: Beneath Your Wings, which is really shocking, I know, but
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: I really really want one of your scrunchies. So basically
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: I obviously played Sinces seven umpired coach, had numerous positions
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: on the committee. Can't tell you how many fundraisers, raffles,
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: cook sausages, you name it. I've been there alongside my teammates,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: done it, including all the rep chocolates that we had
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: to sell and raffle tickets and oh my god. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: the friendships I've made through Netbell have been amazing. The
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: blisters on my feet through state Champs were amazing.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Loved it all.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: So that's ronder. We couldn't play the whole thing, but
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I think we get the gist of it that she's
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: definitely worthy of a wind beneath our wings.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: She because she I mean, I could say how great
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I am fun, but I'm not because I don't do it. Yeah,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: so we've got to tell you that with a grain
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: of salt. But the fact that she's prepared to put
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: herself that out there because she wants one of our scrungies, yeah,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's understandable. Absolutely, Yeah, Clearly she's not seen
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: the quality of the workmanship.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: So it's hard orthodox, Ronda, But we like it and
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: we like you. But like when Thorpe wore that body suit,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: it's going to happen once and it's currently legal, but
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: after this moment it will be illegal. You will be
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: the only person in the history of Wind Beneath Our
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Wings to have a self nominated award.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: What's our take on her getting the Printhy Wine voucher
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: as well? Hm, maybe we should.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Keep Maybe we should ask m Swift from Printhy Wines
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: generous sponsor there. But yeah, Ronda, you are the wind
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: beneath our wings. We think that you are the cheeky
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: wind beneath our wings. And you know, there's a lot
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: to be said, and this is what women don't do enough,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: is say pick me.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: So good on you.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: You've said pick me, and we want to support that
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: just now though, and then it's banned forever. But congratulations
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: arounder Daniel and also the voice note, Yes, tick tick,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and no more tics after that, but yes, please keep
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: sending in your nominations. Send us a voice note via Instagram.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: If you can't get hold of us, dm me on
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: messenger via Facebook and will work something out. The number
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: of people who now have my personal phone number is
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there would be issues with that, but it's
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: like everyone's been so respectful. But yeah, we want to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: want to hear from you for the wind beneath our wings.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: So yeah, but just a memo to everyone who's got
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: your personal phone number, please, after your fourteenth cocktail on
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Thursday night watching the Diamonds and the Roses, try not
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: to message Carolyne.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what the Facebook page is for. Let's
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: share this and let us know what you are doing
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and enjoy watching the game wherever you are, so quick
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: tip from you, guys. It's a three match series. How's
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: it going to go down?
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Diamonds, Diamonds, diamonds.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's cass three domes. Okay, I need to be close,
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: but I think the Diamonds will prevail.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Well, the last game they played each other, it was
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: twenty the difference and how long I was at That
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: was January this year, so let's and that was in
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: the final of the Netball Nations Cup yep, so let's
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: hope it's a little closer than that. For all the spectators.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I will remind you though, that the Swifts won the
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: preseason Cup and then went on to not win the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Sun called Super Netple, So things can happen in the
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: space of a year that were not anticipated. Things can
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: happen in the space of two months.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: They totally can, and I'm sure it will be a
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: lot closer when you think about the superstars that they've
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: had over here playing. There's some coming next year Ima
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Jen Allison. She'll be one that will be keeping our
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: eye on for the England Roses because she will be
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: playing with the Firebirds next season. So yeah, there's plenty
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: of interest I think for both sides. But I reckon
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: it's going to be close.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: All right, So you two are both tipping a clean
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: sweep for the Diamonds. I'm going to try to make
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: it more interesting and say I think it's going to
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: be two tests to the Diamonds, one to the Roses.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Can we just spare a thought for Giants supporters at
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: the moment. So I don't know whether if there are
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: people who are Giants supporters of the netball team and
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: the AFL now, but tough year didn't play the Swans.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: On the week. Who cares?
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: The Swans are through to know that.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: The Giants are also New South Wales. So you can
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: be blind and one eyed and.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Still I've been a Swan support along before the Giants existed,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: so I'm sorry that's the what for choking two weeks
• 40:16
