Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Four after five on this Friday morning. Good morning to
- 0:13Speaker 2: all you high-fivers out there. Going for a top of
- 0:18Speaker 2: 21 degrees today, mostly sunny. Saturday, 21 degrees also. Sunday,
- 0:24Speaker 2: 19 degrees. Monday, 20. Tuesday and Wednesday, we should have
- 0:28Speaker 2: a little bit of rain around once again. But currently
- 0:30Speaker 2: in the city, 10.1 degrees.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Morning, Neddy.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Good morning, Sammy. Good morning, High Fivers.
- 0:37Speaker 5: You just get that wonderful little splash of spring air
- 0:42Speaker 5: in your face in the morning, don't you?
- 0:43Speaker 4: I love this time of year. It's so good.
- 0:45Speaker 5: The weather's changing. The temperatures are just slightly warming up
- 0:50Speaker 5: a little bit.
- 0:51Speaker 4: It is gorgeous. Adelaide, we love you.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I've said it before, and I'll say it until I'm
- 0:56Speaker 3: blue in the face.
- 0:57Speaker 2: It's when you can walk outside and the sun has
- 0:59Speaker 2: that little bit of bite after a very long period
- 1:02Speaker 2: of cold weather around Adelaide, when you get that little
- 1:05Speaker 2: bit of bite in the air, oh, oh.
- 1:08Speaker 3: How good?
- 1:09Speaker 4: Fabulous, isn't it? Did you watch the Legends game last night?
- 1:12Speaker 2: I tuned in for, I think, the second quarter.
- 1:15Speaker 3: What did you think?
- 1:16Speaker 5: I didn't find it overly riveting, but good luck to them.
- 1:19Speaker 5: It was obviously for a great cause, and there were
- 1:21Speaker 5: some good personalities. The only thing that got me thinking, Sammy,
- 1:25Speaker 5: are players retiring too early?
- 1:29Speaker 2: What about Gary Ablett? What about the fitness of Buddy Franklin?
- 1:33Speaker 5: Buddy Franklin, Gary Ablett, and Dusty Martin.
- 1:36Speaker 4: But the way they're still kicking the ball.
- 1:38Speaker 3: This is how it wrapped up on seven.
- 1:39Speaker 6: Does.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Dusty has six.
- 1:45Speaker 4: We're just too much talent in the guts.
- 1:47Speaker 7: Brian, in the end. Yeah.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Joel talked about it. Joel Sahed's like a pumpkin now
- 1:51Speaker 4: with all the Brownlow medalists he's got to.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Work with in the middle. There it is, man.
- 1:56Speaker 4: So the siren sounds in front of a crowd of
- 2:04Speaker 4: 29,040 people.
- 2:06Speaker 8: The 30th edition of a Legends game, and the Vicks
- 2:09Speaker 8: get the chocolates.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Decent crowd as well. Almost 30,000 there.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Yeah, really well done.
- 2:14Speaker 5: It was great to see everyone Mexican waving and getting around.
- 2:17Speaker 4: It is for a great cause.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Of course it is.
- 2:19Speaker 2: And I know our listeners will think, you two young withersnappers,
- 2:24Speaker 2: what are you talking about? But you know you're getting
- 2:26Speaker 2: old when you remember all of those guys playing. Dusty, Buddy,
- 2:32Speaker 2: Russell Robinson.
- 2:34Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Like all these guys.
- 2:35Speaker 5: I just thought with the way they presented, people retire
- 2:39Speaker 5: too early these days.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I remember the footage.
- 2:41Speaker 2: They used to play these games sometimes out at Princess
- 2:45Speaker 2: Park as well, and you'd have the footage of BT
- 2:49Speaker 2: and Billy Brownless severely overweight trying to chase each other down.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Now we've got Ablett Jr. to Buddy Franklin.
- 2:56Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Ridiculous.
- 2:57Speaker 4: They look good, don't they?
- 2:58Speaker 3: They definitely do.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Should we go to Peter at Miles?
- 3:00Speaker 3: We might as well.
- 3:01Speaker 6: Morning, Peter.
- 3:02Speaker 10: Morning.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Can I do my Sample tips with you this morning, Peter?
- 3:07Speaker 6: With your pardon?
- 3:08Speaker 7: Well, let's see if we agree.
- 3:11Speaker 4: First game, Eagles-Westies.
- 3:13Speaker 7: West Adelaide by 18 points.
- 3:18Speaker 5: I think it'll be the Eagles, my friend, and I
- 3:20Speaker 5: think they'll win by four goals, 24 points for me.
- 3:24Speaker 7: Marlston is near the Richmond Oval. There you go.
- 3:27Speaker 3: What's that got to do with anything, Peter?
- 3:29Speaker 7: Well, it's my local side here. And the other game,
- 3:33Speaker 7: which is causing me great anxiety, stress, and elevated blood pressure,
- 3:39Speaker 7: the replay of last year's grand final when Stewart beat
- 3:43Speaker 7: Glenelg by 31 points. Different coach for Glenelg. Darren Reeves
- 3:48Speaker 7: currently in the coaching support power.
- 3:50Speaker 6: Stewart by nine.
- 3:52Speaker 7: Points because we're the better team. And Glenelg's glory will
- 3:56Speaker 7: end this year. There I go.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Well, Peter, I've got bad news. I actually think Glenelg
- 4:02Speaker 5: are going to win. So I've tipped against you in
- 4:04Speaker 5: both games.
- 4:06Speaker 7: Yeah, but only it was Anzac, Dana. Glenelg, I was
- 4:09Speaker 7: there at the Glenelg, and we were trailing by 51
- 4:12Speaker 7: points three-quarters times. Glenelg won by 11. Glenelg are soft
- 4:18Speaker 7: in the last quarter. And they lost to South Adelaide
- 4:21Speaker 7: at Glenelg, and they lost to the Coast Glenelg when
- 4:24Speaker 7: Taylor Walker kicked five or six goals. Mate, we've got
- 4:28Speaker 7: a full complement of players. Ash Johnson to come in,
- 4:32Speaker 7: Oliver Gribble, Lockie Burrows, Tommy Emmett. We will beat Glenelg.
- 4:37Speaker 7: I'll watch them hosie and we win.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Well, hosie's just so good, isn't he?
- 4:41Speaker 11: Yeah, he is.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Peter, this is fun.
- 4:44Speaker 9: This is fun.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Okay, well, what do you want to do? Do you
- 4:46Speaker 4: want to have a bit of a.
- 4:47Speaker 5: We're not having a bet or anything, but let's just
- 4:49Speaker 5: have a good handshake agreement on it.
- 4:51Speaker 4: I've got the Eagles and Glenelg. You've got Westies and Sturt.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Let's see who... Who comes out victorious?
- 4:58Speaker 7: No, what we'll do is on the 10th of September,
- 5:00Speaker 7: we're having a luncheon at the Cremon Hotel, which is
- 5:03Speaker 7: Thursday week. I'll buy you a beer at the front
- 5:06Speaker 7: bar and the pokey bar, not pokey, sports bar there.
- 5:10Speaker 4: All right. We'll see how we go. But definitely.
- 5:12Speaker 7: That's the best.
- 5:12Speaker 6: All right.
- 5:13Speaker 11: All right.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Well, that's good.
- 5:14Speaker 7: All right.
- 5:15Speaker 4: We've got the sample tips here.
- 5:17Speaker 9: Sorry?
- 5:17Speaker 4: I said, that's great. Yeah, you're a great man. Have
- 5:19Speaker 4: a great weekend, Peter.
- 5:21Speaker 7: And who do you tip?
- 5:22Speaker 11: Sammy.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Sammy? I just want Sample to be the winner.
- 5:27Speaker 7: But you don't like to do it, do you?
- 5:30Speaker 3: Just because you go for him.
- 5:31Speaker 7: No, because Lucy Loken told you once. I used to
- 5:35Speaker 7: go for Galil Ganser. That's another story.
- 5:37Speaker 8: All right.
- 5:38Speaker 3: See you, Peter. Bye, Peter.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Lots of love, mate.
- 5:40Speaker 3: All right, Peter's gone. Now, Rob makes a good point.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Rob makes an excellent point on the text line.
- 5:45Speaker 5: But this is what everyone's forgetting. Now, I put my
- 5:47Speaker 5: neck out last week with my AFL tips. And I
- 5:51Speaker 5: failed miserably.
- 5:52Speaker 3: You did.
- 5:52Speaker 4: I completely failed.
- 5:53Speaker 3: You failed where it mattered. I did.
- 5:55Speaker 5: And I ended up going down second place we were
- 5:57Speaker 5: at the breeze by one point.
- 5:59Speaker 4: And I tipped, you know, disastrously.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Second place. So you got a bit of it. Did
- 6:03Speaker 2: you get anything for second?
- 6:05Speaker 4: No, nothing at all.
- 6:07Speaker 5: It's winner takes all there at the breeze. But the
- 6:09Speaker 5: issue is, you know, is that people think now I
- 6:11Speaker 5: can't tip. Hello, I got to that point where I
- 6:14Speaker 5: was leading. So, Rob, he goes, after last week's tipping disaster, Ned,
- 6:18Speaker 5: you're throwing out some.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Big calls, lol.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Well, Rob, like, that's how I got there, mate. I'm
- 6:22Speaker 5: not a conventional tipper. I think outside the square.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Is that me?
- 6:27Speaker 3: No, I'm just letting you go. Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Hello, Mandy and those Blue Brothers. Happy Friday, Blue Brothers.
- 6:36Speaker 3: Good morning, Ned and Sam.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I hope you're both well. I'm ready for action. Who
- 6:40Speaker 2: do you think will win the AFL extra money round?
- 6:44Speaker 4: Mandy.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Take care, Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
- 6:45Speaker 4: That is fun. That's a good question. Should we do
- 6:49Speaker 4: our tips as well?
- 6:50Speaker 5: If anyone wants to text in their tips or call in,
- 6:52Speaker 5: we'll kind of have a bit of fun.
- 6:53Speaker 4: It's early in the morning, 5.11.
- 6:54Speaker 5: I think it's Collingwood and Carlton for me, I think.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Again, tipping against the grain probably a little bit with Collingwood.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Collingwood and Melbourne.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Collingwood and Melbourne.
- 7:07Speaker 3: I think the Fraser train is going to run out
- 7:08Speaker 3: of steam.
- 7:09Speaker 4: It has to at some point.
- 7:10Speaker 9: It has to.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Melbourne are well coached. Yeah, give us a call or
- 7:13Speaker 4: give us a.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Text, 8223 0000 or whatever the text line number is.
- 7:17Speaker 5: If you want to get your footy tips in, Sample
- 7:19Speaker 5: or AFL, they'd be welcome.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Of course, Tom Wren coming up shortly. We'll talk all
- 7:23Speaker 2: things sport as well, but you can jump on the
- 7:25Speaker 2: blow before then, as Ned said, 8223 0000. I just
- 7:27Speaker 2: wanted to get not super serious, but just a little
- 7:31Speaker 2: serious to start off with.
- 7:32Speaker 12: Sure, yep.
- 7:32Speaker 3: So we all know the MotoGP.
- 7:34Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 3: It's causing a lot of drama in and around the CBD.
- 7:37Speaker 3: This is obviously off the back of Possum Park and
- 7:39Speaker 3: the trees coming down there. Well, more people are saying
- 7:44Speaker 3: that the MotoGP needs to be at tail and bend
- 7:46Speaker 3: and not in the park lands. A new survey of
- 7:47Speaker 3: the Conservation Council members throwing their support behind the bend.
- 7:51Speaker 3: as the preferred location. They say the.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Green spaces need to be remained as green spaces. The
- 7:57Speaker 2: council's Kirsty Bevan had a question for the Premier about
- 8:00Speaker 2: his legacy.
- 8:01Speaker 13: Is it the demise of the Parklands or is it
- 8:03Speaker 13: actually that our Parklands are thriving and one of our
- 8:06Speaker 13: best tourism assets? He absolutely wants that latter. So it's
- 8:11Speaker 13: just a matter of now bridging that gap between what
- 8:13Speaker 13: he believes that is and what we believe that is.
- 8:16Speaker 2: So two things for the high-fivers out there. One, after
- 8:18Speaker 2: everything that's gone on with Possum Park, are we still
- 8:20Speaker 2: comfortable with the MotoGP taking place in the CBD? Because
- 8:24Speaker 2: those works will start early next year to reconstruct the
- 8:27Speaker 2: streets around Adelaide, the Victoria Park race course section as well,
- 8:30Speaker 2: into a MotoGP track.
- 8:31Speaker 3: But secondly.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Do these people not understand how we got the race
- 8:36Speaker 2: in the first place? All these uninformed people thinking that
- 8:40Speaker 2: we can just easily move the MotoGP race to the bend.
- 8:42Speaker 2: The whole reason we have the MotoGP race is because
- 8:45Speaker 2: they wanted a city race.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Phillip Island, you're a Victorian. How far out of.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Long way.
- 8:50Speaker 2: A few hours drive and down the bottom. Phillip Island
- 8:53Speaker 2: is one of the best tracks in the country for
- 8:56Speaker 2: any motorsport, but they wanted a city footprint.
- 8:59Speaker 5: I think that's really well stated. It's not either tail
- 9:01Speaker 5: and bend or the city. It's city or nothing.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Victoria, they were given the option, we want to run
- 9:06Speaker 2: on the Formula One track in Albert Park. They said,
- 9:08Speaker 2: if we're going to keep it in Victoria, we're keeping
- 9:10Speaker 2: it at Phillip Island.
- 9:11Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Malinowska swooped in, took it, going to redesign our track
- 9:15Speaker 2: and everything. If you can't see that this is a
- 9:19Speaker 2: long-term play to try and woo Formula 1 back to Adelaide, well,
- 9:23Speaker 2: then you're a bit silly. But honestly, I'd love to know, though,
- 9:26Speaker 2: because we saw the protests for Stop the Chop again
- 9:29Speaker 2: on the weekend.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Some say thousands were there. Some say hundreds were there.
- 9:32Speaker 3: So you had to be there to know what was
- 9:34Speaker 3: going on.
- 9:34Speaker 4: They were low thousands, weren't they?
- 9:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:36Speaker 2: So has people's sentiment thoughts changed on the Parklands? Were
- 9:41Speaker 2: you pro-golf course.
- 9:42Speaker 3: But now you're thinking the MotoGP is too much? Yeah.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Are you against everything when it comes to the Parklands?
- 9:49Speaker 2: 8223 0000 044808 1395. But just remember that if we
- 9:55Speaker 2: don't have the race in the city, we're not having
- 9:56Speaker 2: it at all.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Two things from me. I don't think.
- 9:59Speaker 5: people who protest are representative of everyone's opinions, though, because
- 10:03Speaker 5: I feel strongly about things, but I would never protest, ever,
- 10:05Speaker 5: unless it was something ridiculous, unless, you know, we had
- 10:08Speaker 5: a dictator or something in South Australia and it was time.
- 10:11Speaker 12: To go on.
- 10:11Speaker 3: People might think our Premier is.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Well, I think that's totally irresponsible if anyone thinks that.
- 10:17Speaker 10: Yep.
- 10:17Speaker 4: I think that's ridiculous.
- 10:18Speaker 5: But, yeah, I just don't think we can, you know, yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 5: as I said, view protesters as representative of the community sentiment.
- 10:26Speaker 4: The second thing, Sammy, is it's a good question.
- 10:29Speaker 5: How much is too much in terms of, you know,
- 10:32Speaker 5: removing trees and removing some.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Of our parklands?
- 10:36Speaker 5: The green space is brilliant, isn't it? But the green
- 10:39Speaker 5: space is just that if there isn't opportunities to utilise it.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And it's not like we're constructing high-rise towers. Yes, some
- 10:46Speaker 2: trees will be coming down, especially in the Hutt Street
- 10:50Speaker 2: to about.
- 10:50Speaker 3: East Terrace section. They're going to re-profile that, and there
- 10:55Speaker 3: will be some trees going in the Victoria Park section
- 10:58Speaker 3: near the old grandstand, because that's where the front straight
- 11:01Speaker 3: will be now.
- 11:02Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:02Speaker 3: But surely... And the promise to replant more trees. I
- 11:08Speaker 3: know I'm pro motorsport, so I'm going to have a
- 11:10Speaker 3: very biased opinion here, but I'd love to hear high
- 11:12Speaker 3: fivers what they're thinking on this. Is it too much
- 11:14Speaker 3: now on the back of Possum Park?
- 11:15Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Because it is a double whammy for the parkland lovers.
- 11:18Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 11:18Speaker 8: 8223 0000.
- 11:23Speaker 5: The argument is that it's habitat destruction, correct? Or is
- 11:28Speaker 5: the argument that we just love the parklands as they
- 11:31Speaker 5: are and we don't want anything changing?
- 11:33Speaker 9: Correct.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Is that the argument or.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Is it habitat destruction? That's mainly the argument.
- 11:37Speaker 2: The parklands are a green space and they're supposed to
- 11:40Speaker 2: remain a green space and there shouldn't be any destruction
- 11:43Speaker 2: of trees throughout the parklands.
- 11:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 5: It's just ridiculous, though, because some of the parklands are
- 11:48Speaker 5: so underutilised.
- 11:49Speaker 4: I mean, green space is great, as I've said, but
- 11:51Speaker 4: if it's a paddock.
- 11:52Speaker 5: And South Australians or visitors can't use it, it's really
- 11:55Speaker 5: no use to us.
- 11:56Speaker 9: Well, this is the.
- 11:57Speaker 2: We had this discussion 12, 18 months ago as well,
- 12:01Speaker 2: when we know the new Women's and Children's Hospital is
- 12:03Speaker 2: going up on Port Road next to the Royal Adelaide Hospital,
- 12:06Speaker 2: and The police horses and the police dogs needed a
- 12:10Speaker 2: new location. Say Paul wanted to go on Green Hill
- 12:13Speaker 2: Road near the Anzac Highway section, where the parklands are
- 12:16Speaker 2: just not kept up in their scrub. And they had
- 12:19Speaker 2: all these plans in place to have trees around the
- 12:22Speaker 2: location to shield it, but it would have made it
- 12:25Speaker 2: easier for the horses to get back into the city.
- 12:27Speaker 2: That wasn't allowed in the now out of Jepps Cross.
- 12:29Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 12:31Speaker 3: A part of the parklands that no one uses.
- 12:33Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 12:34Speaker 11: Anyway.
- 12:35Speaker 5: It's going to be a balancing act, isn't it? Our
- 12:36Speaker 5: city's famous for it, and it must be retained.
- 12:39Speaker 2: This was also tried about 15 years ago. Kevin Foley
- 12:42Speaker 2: and Mike Rand tried to build permanent structures in and
- 12:45Speaker 2: around Victoria Park for the V8 supercars, one, to bring
- 12:48Speaker 2: costs down, and two, to have a centre and a
- 12:52Speaker 2: function space to use all year round. And this same
- 12:55Speaker 2: sort of opposition came up, and that didn't happen.
- 12:58Speaker 5: I think people with a balanced opinion can appreciate that
- 13:00Speaker 5: some forms of development in the parklands can still contribute
- 13:04Speaker 5: to the green space.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Like Victoria Park's a great example.
- 13:07Speaker 5: They had excavators, like they had eight or 10 excavators
- 13:09Speaker 5: going flat out of Victoria Park and everyone was concerned.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Do you remember? And now they've created.
- 13:14Speaker 5: Boardwalks and wetlands with, you know, fantastic areas for families
- 13:18Speaker 5: to go and walk around and the dogs go and
- 13:21Speaker 5: there's ducks.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Everywhere and stuff.
- 13:22Speaker 5: So it's a great wetlands green space, but it did
- 13:25Speaker 5: require some human man-made development input.
- 13:28Speaker 7: Yep.
- 13:29Speaker 5: And this could be of similar vein, Sammy.
- 13:32Speaker 3: 822-300-00-044-808-1395.
- 13:33Speaker 2: 18 after five. We've got to get to a quick break.
- 13:38Speaker 2: But remember, there is a Peppers truck wash pack on
- 13:41Speaker 2: offer today for someone who calls in.
- 13:44Speaker 5: I live across from the police horses now, says Rob,
- 13:46Speaker 5: and they are good neighbors.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 13:54Speaker 2: 21 after five on this Friday morning.
- 14:02Speaker 3: John on the text line.
- 14:03Speaker 4: What music's this?
- 14:04Speaker 3: I don't know. I thought there was going to be
- 14:06Speaker 3: some sort of drop.
- 14:06Speaker 4: It was some kind of spooky ice house, was it?
- 14:09Speaker 3: Patrick has informed us, ice house.
- 14:10Speaker 4: It was a spooky Halloween type theme.
- 14:13Speaker 3: John in Glenelg morning. Just build the track and move on.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Most of the trees were planted after the council kicked
- 14:19Speaker 2: horse racing out of Victoria Park 15 years ago due
- 14:21Speaker 2: to 10 whinging dog walkers anyway.
- 14:24Speaker 4: It's always going to be contentious, isn't it?
- 14:26Speaker 5: Well, I don't think we're ever going to find common
- 14:28Speaker 5: ground on that one, Sammy, but the conversation is needed.
- 14:32Speaker 4: Anyway, 8223 0000. Phone lines are always open on this program.
- 14:37Speaker 4: A couple of shout-outs I've got to give. Ian from
- 14:39Speaker 4: Port Victoria, high five.
- 14:40Speaker 5: I'll give a shout-out to him. Any other shout-outs? Let
- 14:44Speaker 5: me think, let me think. Bickford's, let's give them a
- 14:46Speaker 5: huge shout-out. Pepper's Truck Wash, another big shout-out. And, of course,
- 14:50Speaker 5: JS Rural Fencing, let's give them a shout-out too. That's,
- 14:53Speaker 5: of course, Julie from Tea Tree Gully Sons Business, who
- 14:57Speaker 5: has become a sponsor of the program. Sammy, on 7
- 15:02Speaker 5: News last night, A report really sparked my little ears.
- 15:06Speaker 4: They perked up at this.
- 15:09Speaker 1: All sorts of things wash away after heavy rain, but
- 15:11Speaker 1: no-one in Allgate expected to find a skip bin bobbing
- 15:16Speaker 1: in the creek.
- 15:16Speaker 8: Now it got there is a mystery, but locals are
- 15:19Speaker 8: convinced it's the work of an infamous Adelaide Hills bin bandit.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Here at Allgate Village, a 250kg floater.
- 15:31Speaker 4: A skip bin fished out of the creek.
- 15:35Speaker 5: The question is, how did it get there?
- 15:37Speaker 3: No cameras, no witnesses.
- 15:39Speaker 9: But locals have a theory.
- 15:41Speaker 4: The infamous bin bandit.
- 15:43Speaker 3: They've actually tagged one of our bins.
- 15:46Speaker 9: Disgusting. Yeah, it's just stupid.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Who the heck is the bin bandit? Folks, if you
- 15:54Speaker 4: know who the bin bandit is, tell them to stop. Seriously,
- 15:57Speaker 4: who's going around putting bins in the river and tagging bins?
- 16:00Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
- 16:02Speaker 2: They had to get cranes in. The skip bin was
- 16:04Speaker 2: bobbing up and down in the creek.
- 16:06Speaker 5: Who moves to the Adelaide Hills to be a bin bandit?
- 16:09Speaker 5: And they're tagging bins and wrecking the bins. It got
- 16:12Speaker 5: me thinking, though.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 16:13Speaker 5: There's another community menace that I know of, and that's
- 16:17Speaker 5: the phantom pooer at Broken Hill.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Now, folks, this is a bit of an uptake.
- 16:24Speaker 5: Awful, awful, and not at all suggesting it's funny, but
- 16:28Speaker 5: there was someone in Broken Hill who was doing poos,
- 16:32Speaker 5: and once a fortnight he'd do a poo in the
- 16:35Speaker 5: Broken Hill area, and he might leave one out in
- 16:38Speaker 5: front of the bakery or something.
- 16:40Speaker 4: One of the stores, and no one could track them down.
- 16:43Speaker 5: I'm not sure what the CCTV situation was in Broken Hill,
- 16:46Speaker 5: but they still.
- 16:47Speaker 4: To this day haven't tracked it down. It's community folklore.
- 16:50Speaker 5: If anyone's heard who it is or what's going on
- 16:53Speaker 5: there at Broken Hill, that is a true story direct
- 16:56Speaker 5: from Taylor Walker and his family.
- 16:57Speaker 4: That's been happening. At Broken Hill for 20 years, apparently.
- 17:01Speaker 3: 20 years?
- 17:02Speaker 5: We suspect the phantom poo-er is either generational, it's been
- 17:05Speaker 5: passed down.
- 17:06Speaker 3: How has this not made headlines before? 20 years?
- 17:08Speaker 4: I'm telling you, it's been happening for a long time.
- 17:10Speaker 3: When was the last time he striked or dumped?
- 17:13Speaker 4: He's striking flat out, to my knowledge.
- 17:15Speaker 6: Really?
- 17:16Speaker 5: Even with modern surveillance. So my question is this morning,
- 17:20Speaker 5: High Fivers.
- 17:21Speaker 3: What could the question be?
- 17:23Speaker 5: The question is not relating specifically to the Broken Hill
- 17:26Speaker 5: phantom poo-er. Or even necessarily, specifically, the bin bandit. But
- 17:31Speaker 5: what's your community menace?
- 17:33Speaker 10: Oh.
- 17:34Speaker 5: 8223 0000, does your community have a menace?
- 17:37Speaker 3: What do they do?
- 17:38Speaker 4: How do you track them down and have you caught
- 17:40Speaker 4: the bugger?
- 17:40Speaker 3: We had a menace growing up in our area.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Did you?
- 17:43Speaker 4: What did they do?
- 17:44Speaker 3: Magpie.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Oh, the community magpie menace.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Every spring, on this one road trying to walk to school.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Without doubt, without fail, it would swoop every time. And
- 17:57Speaker 2: then we had another magpie at school, and in a
- 18:01Speaker 2: certain part of the oval is where we'd do PE.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Well, that's where the magpie lived as well.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Cheeky little magpie.
- 18:06Speaker 3: They are scary.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Community Menaces team off the back of the Orgate, Bin
- 18:11Speaker 5: Bandit and the Broken Hill Phantom Pua, who's causing trouble
- 18:15Speaker 5: in your community and what are they doing?
- 18:17Speaker 4: Hello, Sue from Mylaw.
- 18:18Speaker 3: I hope you're not causing trouble up there, Sue.
- 18:21Speaker 12: No, but just a quick mention on Victoria Park.
- 18:27Speaker 7: Yes.
- 18:27Speaker 12: I grew up sort of going to the races, and
- 18:31Speaker 12: then I was devastated when we lost the races, and
- 18:33Speaker 12: then I loved Formula One. I got to meet Nigel
- 18:36Speaker 12: Mantle and loved the V8 supercars. I love my motor racing,
- 18:41Speaker 12: and I'm looking forward to the MotoGP, and I think
- 18:44Speaker 12: that the park lands for everybody, so that's my point
- 18:47Speaker 12: on that. But you've just triggered me. nuisances and menaces,
- 18:52Speaker 12: I'm just about to open the op shop. We have
- 18:55Speaker 12: people who come in when we're closed and go through
- 18:58Speaker 12: our donation bins and pinch all the good stuff.
- 19:01Speaker 4: What?
- 19:01Speaker 12: But also we had a little garden out the front
- 19:05Speaker 12: of the shop that we built around a lovely little
- 19:09Speaker 12: sundial that someone gave us a couple of years ago
- 19:12Speaker 12: and we loved it and everybody sort of... loved it,
- 19:17Speaker 12: and somebody came in a couple of weeks ago while
- 19:19Speaker 12: we weren't there and pinched it. So, yeah, we have nuisances.
- 19:24Speaker 5: But that's not even nuisance, is it? So, I mean,
- 19:26Speaker 5: that's just the lowest of lows, stealing from people.
- 19:29Speaker 10: It's the lowest of lows.
- 19:29Speaker 12: They know when we're closed, and, you know, this was
- 19:32Speaker 12: just a little sundial, and it was really special to us,
- 19:36Speaker 12: and they knew when we were open, when we were closed,
- 19:40Speaker 12: and it was heavy. It would have taken a couple
- 19:42Speaker 12: of people to really get it into the car.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Jeez, Sue.
- 19:45Speaker 12: But, yeah, so not happy about that either.
- 19:49Speaker 2: This is what I don't understand, though, with op shops, Sue,
- 19:51Speaker 2: is I know that we shouldn't have to change our
- 19:54Speaker 2: behaviour for some idiots out there who want to go
- 19:57Speaker 2: through and steal a bunch of stuff, but I never
- 19:59Speaker 2: understand why people would drop off donations outside of business
- 20:03Speaker 2: hours for the op shops for that reason.
- 20:05Speaker 12: Well, that's the thing. I mean, we can't be open
- 20:06Speaker 12: all the time and, you know, due to lack of...
- 20:10Speaker 12: volunteers and whatever, we can only open three days a
- 20:12Speaker 12: week and we do encourage people to bring stuff in
- 20:16Speaker 12: while we're there and that's terrific and people do that
- 20:21Speaker 12: but we get so many donations that I guess people,
- 20:25Speaker 12: that's why we put the donation bins out and rely
- 20:29Speaker 12: on people's kindness and common sense and this was just,
- 20:37Speaker 12: you know, it's not the first thing we had pinched
- 20:38Speaker 12: but That one was really special, and if you're listening,
- 20:42Speaker 12: raspberries to you because you've taken away one of our
- 20:46Speaker 12: lovely little things that we gave a lot of joy
- 20:49Speaker 12: to people.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Well said, Sue. Sorry to hear that.
- 20:52Speaker 4: Thank you. Cathy from Windsor Gardens. Good morning, Cathy.
- 20:56Speaker 11: G'day, fellas. I've got Bottle Man in our neighbourhood.
- 21:00Speaker 6: Oh, no.
- 21:01Speaker 11: And for the past six months, I live on a
- 21:03Speaker 11: corner block with a really nice garden. He's been dropping
- 21:07Speaker 11: bottles off, empty ones, and putting them right into the
- 21:11Speaker 11: shrubs and stuff. So to get them out, I always
- 21:14Speaker 11: end up getting scratched. And, you know, sometimes booze bottles,
- 21:19Speaker 11: you know, sometimes there'll be three or four and then
- 21:21Speaker 11: I won't have any for a week or two. But
- 21:25Speaker 11: included in all of this, I've had three full unopened
- 21:30Speaker 11: bottles of Saki.
- 21:33Speaker 12: Really?
- 21:33Speaker 10: What?
- 21:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:35Speaker 11: And I actually was working at my desk the other
- 21:38Speaker 11: day and I saw a car pull up out the
- 21:40Speaker 11: front and this bloke get out. And I just had
- 21:43Speaker 11: this suspicion. I thought, oh, my God, it's Bottle Man.
- 21:46Speaker 11: So I went out and it was actually an Uber driver.
- 21:50Speaker 11: And sure enough, the bloke had put a couple of
- 21:53Speaker 11: bottles there and he was walking down the street and
- 21:55Speaker 11: I gave him a bit of a mouthful, to be honest.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Oh, so it was the Bottle Man?
- 21:59Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 22:01Speaker 11: Yeah, it was a bottle man, and the Uber driver
- 22:03Speaker 11: said he'd just picked him up from a pub up
- 22:08Speaker 11: some way away, and he'd gone into the Uber with
- 22:12Speaker 11: all these empty bottles, which he then deposits, particularly in
- 22:16Speaker 11: my front yard.
- 22:17Speaker 4: Kathy, that's bizarre. I mean, what does he even get
- 22:20Speaker 4: out of that other than giving you grief?
- 22:23Speaker 11: Stupid. I mean, if he leaves me a bottle of
- 22:27Speaker 11: Saki every week, I wouldn't mind that. I prefer red wine.
- 22:32Speaker 6: So if he's listening.
- 22:33Speaker 5: Yeah, a nice bottle of Penfolds or something, it'd be nice, Bottleman.
- 22:36Speaker 5: But other than that, stop being a menace.
- 22:38Speaker 3: The Bottleman of Windsor Gardens.
- 22:40Speaker 11: Yeah, it's just absolutely bizarre.
- 22:43Speaker 5: Oh, Cathy, you're in the running for that Peppers truck wash.
- 22:45Speaker 5: That's a great yarn. My goodness, the bottle man, Sammy,
- 22:49Speaker 5: is a community menace. Frank from Birkenhead, have you got
- 22:51Speaker 5: a community menace running around there, mate?
- 22:54Speaker 10: It's actually a different story. It's not a community menace,
- 22:58Speaker 10: but I'll tell you what happens. And it's the lowest
- 23:02Speaker 10: form of piece of dung you can get. When I
- 23:06Speaker 10: was working as a support worker, and I recently retired
- 23:12Speaker 10: last year, I retired, and I had this dear client
- 23:16Speaker 10: that I used to push around in the wheelchair, and
- 23:18Speaker 10: he loved going down to Glenelg. Now, there was this
- 23:21Speaker 10: particular church, I can't think of the name of it.
- 23:24Speaker 10: It was next, adjacent to the Coles, Coles Shopping Centre there,
- 23:29Speaker 10: right on the corner.
- 23:30Speaker 1: You can't miss it.
- 23:32Speaker 10: And he loved to go around, loved to go around
- 23:35Speaker 10: and look at the roses every now and again. And
- 23:40Speaker 10: he saw this particular lovely little angel praying near a
- 23:46Speaker 10: memorial plaque on the ground there, just near the roses.
- 23:51Speaker 10: And one particular day when I was pushing him around,
- 23:55Speaker 10: it wasn't just there. We also used to go around
- 23:56Speaker 10: the canal, Gary. And I said to you, he said,
- 23:59Speaker 10: what happened to that angel? And it was always there.
- 24:03Speaker 10: And this is a true story. And I said to
- 24:06Speaker 10: one of the ladies there who was doing a bit
- 24:08Speaker 10: of water, and I said, what happened to that little
- 24:10Speaker 10: angel there that was praying? He said, you wouldn't believe this.
- 24:14Speaker 11: It was stolen.
- 24:16Speaker 10: Now, what lowest form could you get of a person
- 24:19Speaker 10: stealing something like that, Ned?
- 24:21Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 24:23Speaker 10: Lowest form you could get. Yeah, it was always there.
- 24:26Speaker 10: She said, no, I know the one you mean. She
- 24:28Speaker 10: said it was stolen. It wouldn't take something like.
- 24:31Speaker 3: That, man.
- 24:33Speaker 4: Horrible, Frank, isn't it? People... You know, I thought I'd
- 24:36Speaker 4: mention that.
- 24:36Speaker 10: I mean, it's nothing to do... It's similar to what
- 24:38Speaker 10: you're talking about.
- 24:39Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
- 24:40Speaker 4: No, we always appreciate your calls, Frank.
- 24:42Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 24:42Speaker 4: People are either really desperate or really horrible.
- 24:45Speaker 5: I think it's one or the other, isn't it, with theft?
- 24:47Speaker 5: And it's never good. Sometimes in circumstances it can be
- 24:51Speaker 5: excused or at least understood.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Understood, yeah.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Understood, yeah. But that kind of stuff's just not on.
- 24:56Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Talking about stealing, though.
- 24:59Speaker 4: What are you stealing, Sammy?
- 25:00Speaker 3: I'm not stealing anything. Don't we have a bone to
- 25:02Speaker 3: pick with Tom Wren? Oh, we do, big time. If
- 25:04Speaker 3: Tommy's driving in this morning... Seriously. I've made me think
- 25:07Speaker 3: twice about coming in before six.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Get ready to cop my wrath, Tom Wren.
- 25:11Speaker 5: You are in serious trouble, you little sporty reporter friend.
- 25:15Speaker 2: We all know, for those high-fivers listening yesterday, that Tom
- 25:19Speaker 2: dropped the bombshell.
- 25:20Speaker 4: It was bombshell.
- 25:20Speaker 3: The bombshell, the exclusive, that he was heading out to
- 25:24Speaker 3: do some Hello SA filming on Bickford's.
- 25:27Speaker 4: For Bickford's.
- 25:28Speaker 3: And it's come across our desk, a bit of a
- 25:31Speaker 3: video of his time with Bickford's, and we're going to
- 25:33Speaker 3: have to discuss it with Rennie after the break.
- 25:34Speaker 12: Absolutely.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 25:36Speaker 3: It's going to get frosty.
- 25:36Speaker 5: It's really tick my ticker. We're the Bickford's crew here.
- 25:39Speaker 5: High fivers are the Bickford's crew, not bloody Tommy Wren.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Stick around. Don't miss that.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 25:48Speaker 2: 23 minutes to 6 on this Friday, going for a
- 25:56Speaker 2: top of 21 degrees, mostly sunny, and the sun doesn't
- 25:59Speaker 2: stop there. Saturday, 21 degrees and sunny. Sunday, 19 degrees,
- 26:03Speaker 2: mostly sunny. Currently in the city, 9.3 degrees. We're set
- 26:08Speaker 2: up for a gorgeous weekend across Adelaide. But before we
- 26:11Speaker 2: get to Tom Wren, let's head out to Elizabeth.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Graeme, good morning.
- 26:15Speaker 6: Morning, legend.
- 26:15Speaker 4: How are we both? Hello, G-Man.
- 26:19Speaker 6: I just wanted to talk about nuisances and menaces. And actually,
- 26:24Speaker 6: I wanted you, Ned, to talk about another nuisance and menace.
- 26:26Speaker 4: That you might know, in a nice way, obviously.
- 26:29Speaker 13: Yes.
- 26:29Speaker 6: But we've heard over the years that Tex is a
- 26:31Speaker 6: bit of a prankster and a jokester.
- 26:33Speaker 7: Could you maybe, without mentioning names and using.
- 26:35Speaker 6: Words such as allegedly... Perhaps mention maybe one or two
- 26:39Speaker 6: of Tex's best pranks that you've seen through the years.
- 26:41Speaker 5: That's very funny, Graeme. I certainly can. I'll tell you
- 26:44Speaker 5: one that I really liked. A young scallywag, Josh Worrell
- 26:47Speaker 5: at the footy club, he has an older ute that
- 26:51Speaker 5: is susceptible to a breakdown. And despite being on a
- 26:54Speaker 5: huge contract, he refuses to upgrade it. So Tex went
- 26:57Speaker 5: and bought online a whistle that goes on the exhaust
- 27:01Speaker 5: of a car and makes.
- 27:03Speaker 4: A very loud whistling noise.
- 27:06Speaker 5: So he clipped it onto Josh Worrell's exhaust and Worrell
- 27:09Speaker 5: started driving around and this loud whistle would go every
- 27:13Speaker 5: time Josh hit over 25 kilometres an hour. Josh thought
- 27:17Speaker 5: it was so bad he started taking his car into
- 27:19Speaker 5: the mechanic. So they'd lift the bonnet on it and go, mate,
- 27:23Speaker 5: I think everything looks okay. Just let us know if
- 27:25Speaker 5: it keeps happening. This went on for months until Tex
- 27:29Speaker 5: told him that, you know, he didn't need to keep
- 27:31Speaker 5: spending money at the mechanics. It was just a whistle
- 27:33Speaker 5: they put in there.
- 27:35Speaker 12: Oh, my goodness.
- 27:37Speaker 7: That's unreal.
- 27:38Speaker 13: I love it.
- 27:38Speaker 6: I love it. Hey, as a bit of a segue there,
- 27:41Speaker 6: what's the inside mail on Texas Gloob? Is he still
- 27:44Speaker 6: going to be good to go Saturday week.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Or whenever they play?
- 27:47Speaker 5: I think you'll find he'll be good to go, Graeme.
- 27:49Speaker 5: I don't have the exact goss on that, but talking
- 27:51Speaker 5: to him, I think he's right, mate. So looking forward
- 27:53Speaker 5: to seeing him out there.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Time to talk to Tom Wren.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Now, this is rubbish. This is absolute rubbish.
- 27:58Speaker 5: So high-fivers, we all know that we are the Bickford's battalion.
- 28:01Speaker 5: You know, we all love a Bickford's. I have a
- 28:03Speaker 5: sugar-free Bickford's every single night. It is the highlight of
- 28:07Speaker 5: my day. It's how I wind down and relax. Our
- 28:10Speaker 5: listeners enjoy Bickford's. Sammy, you got Bickford's recently. We're South
- 28:13Speaker 5: Australian proud. We say it sincerely. We are the Bickford's bandit.
- 28:17Speaker 4: We love it.
- 28:18Speaker 10: Yep.
- 28:18Speaker 4: So the last thing you.
- 28:20Speaker 5: Expect is some low-life media star trying to climb on
- 28:25Speaker 5: all of our momentum with Bickford's for his own financial gain.
- 28:29Speaker 4: Have a listen to this yesterday.
- 28:31Speaker 3: Is there anything more iconic than Bickford's? Need a better microphone, ready?
- 28:35Speaker 9: More than 150 years of age. And I'm here at
- 28:39Speaker 9: Beresford in the McLaren Vale.
- 28:41Speaker 8: They do these incredible Bickford's tastings for cordials. I've got blackcurrant,
- 28:46Speaker 8: I've got blood orange, pineapple and passion fruit, citrus and
- 28:49Speaker 8: guava as well. And I love that at the bottom
- 28:53Speaker 8: of every Bickford's bottle, I didn't know this, they've got
- 28:56Speaker 8: a little affirmation. This one says love, so it connects
- 28:59Speaker 8: you with the brand. Anyway, we're coming into the perfect
- 29:02Speaker 8: weather for this.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Come out, check out a tasting at Beresford.
- 29:05Speaker 9: Bickford's is the best. Love it.
- 29:08Speaker 3: South Aussie proud. Time for the right of reply.
- 29:10Speaker 4: The latest in sports with Tom Rand.
- 29:15Speaker 8: Now, boys, I'm still running a bit high from just being.
- 29:19Speaker 9: On the cordial. I've had a really nice day.
- 29:22Speaker 3: You'll do anything to get to the top, won't you, Tommy? Yeah, exactly.
- 29:24Speaker 9: Well, I'm just riding on your coattails, boys. So I thought,
- 29:27Speaker 9: you know what?
- 29:27Speaker 6: Extraordinary.
- 29:28Speaker 8: South Aussie brand, you could have come with me. But
- 29:31Speaker 8: this is the thing.
- 29:32Speaker 4: I mean, we're in it together. We're on early breakfast
- 29:34Speaker 4: every morning. We've spoken about Bickford's for 12 bloody months.
- 29:37Speaker 4: Where was the invitation to go and do a bit
- 29:39Speaker 4: of a taste test?
- 29:40Speaker 5: And then he was talking about the bottom of the
- 29:42Speaker 5: bottle with the affirmations as if I didn't know.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Mate, I'm the Bickford's king. Don't tell me what's going
- 29:46Speaker 4: on with Bickford's.
- 29:48Speaker 9: No, it was a great day. It was a lovely day.
- 29:51Speaker 4: Oh, it was good?
- 29:52Speaker 9: It was really good. And how good is Big Fitz?
- 29:54Speaker 4: I love Big Fitz.
- 29:54Speaker 9: Four new flavours. Yeah, yeah.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Unreal.
- 29:56Speaker 4: They're doing a lot more with their sugar-free range.
- 29:58Speaker 5: We've spoken about it on air because a lot of
- 30:00Speaker 5: our listeners don't like the sugar-free. They'd prefer just the traditional. Yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 5: so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. But no,
- 30:05Speaker 5: very excited about the new flavours.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they're good.
- 30:08Speaker 9: They're really good. So I'm sorry you didn't come along.
- 30:10Speaker 4: No, that's all right.
- 30:10Speaker 9: We'll go next time. We'll go down. I'll chauffeur you
- 30:13Speaker 9: both down and we'll.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Do a little test.
- 30:17Speaker 2: He's a high fiver. He's an early break. But as
- 30:19Speaker 2: soon as TV lines are.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Drawn, it's a dog eat dog world.
- 30:25Speaker 4: It's not personal, Rennie. I was just flat that I
- 30:27Speaker 4: didn't get to go with you.
- 30:28Speaker 3: We're not mad. I'm just disappointed.
- 30:30Speaker 4: That's worse.
- 30:32Speaker 5: I've got a Bitford's tasting at my house anyway. I've
- 30:35Speaker 5: got the sugar-free lime. I've got the sugar-free lemon-lime bitters.
- 30:37Speaker 5: I've got the cloudy apple. I had the grapefruit, the
- 30:40Speaker 5: pink grapefruit one last night for a bit of a change-up.
- 30:43Speaker 4: Rennie, what's going on with sport?
- 30:44Speaker 8: Well, the first of the wild cards is on tonight.
- 30:48Speaker 8: You excited for them? I'm looking forward to it.
- 30:50Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely.
- 30:51Speaker 8: Should be a cracking game too, shouldn't it? Doggies and Collingwood.
- 30:53Speaker 8: So there's a good chance this will have a.
- 30:57Speaker 9: Kind of meaning for the Crows as.
- 30:59Speaker 8: Well, because the Crows play the highest ranked winner from
- 31:02Speaker 8: these two games. So if Melbourne win tomorrow night, it's
- 31:05Speaker 8: Melbourne because Melbourne finished seventh. So they're the highest wildcard team.
- 31:09Speaker 8: But if they lose, the Crows will play the winner
- 31:11Speaker 8: of tonight's game. So if Carlton win, the Crows play
- 31:14Speaker 8: the winner of tonight's game. Now we obviously won't know
- 31:16Speaker 8: what happens with Melbourne and Carlton until tomorrow. So, I
- 31:19Speaker 8: don't think the Crows would want Collingwood to go through
- 31:21Speaker 8: and play Collingwood. They sort of feel like the worst
- 31:24Speaker 8: matchup for me of the three sides that they can't
- 31:28Speaker 8: play Carlton. It's either Melbourne, Bulldogs, Collingwood. I reckon they'd
- 31:31Speaker 8: like to play Melbourne of those three. I think Collingwood's
- 31:35Speaker 8: probably their least favoured matchup.
- 31:37Speaker 9: Your thoughts?
- 31:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you, Rennie.
- 31:39Speaker 5: I think they've been outcoached a couple of times against Collingwood,
- 31:42Speaker 5: if I'm totally honest, but I think the Crows should
- 31:44Speaker 5: be confident against any of those sides in the wildcard.
- 31:47Speaker 11: Yeah, good point.
- 31:47Speaker 4: And Carlton, we're forgetting, are in excellent form too, right?
- 31:50Speaker 5: Like, I know they had a slow start to the season,
- 31:52Speaker 5: but my word, you know, no team would want to
- 31:54Speaker 5: go up against a team with that level of momentum
- 31:56Speaker 5: at the moment.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Big time.
- 31:57Speaker 8: So, and like I said, they cannot play Carlton. So
- 32:00Speaker 8: if Carlton win, they will play against Geelong. That is
- 32:03Speaker 8: locked in. So, because the Crows have to play the
- 32:05Speaker 8: highest ranked winner. In terms of ins and outs for
- 32:08Speaker 8: tonight's match, Tim English comes back. So that's a good inclusion.
- 32:11Speaker 8: Bit of talk around him maybe going, to GWS in
- 32:14Speaker 8: the offseason. He hasn't been playing first ruck as much
- 32:16Speaker 8: this season. Rory Lobb's been getting a bit of a
- 32:18Speaker 8: crack at it. So 28 years of age, Kieran Briggs
- 32:22Speaker 8: on the move. There's a bit going on with the
- 32:23Speaker 8: rucks and who knows, maybe Riley O'Brien as well, given
- 32:27Speaker 8: that he can't get a game, which makes sense. You know,
- 32:30Speaker 8: he's played, what, 150-odd games. It makes sense if another
- 32:34Speaker 8: club would want him. In terms of Collingwood, a couple
- 32:37Speaker 8: of changes. Lipinski, Quaynor in, so that really shores up
- 32:40Speaker 8: their backline with Quaynor. He's a very good player. Pendlebury
- 32:44Speaker 8: and Puncher come out of the side. Really delicate situation
- 32:48Speaker 8: surrounding Scott Pendlebury, I think, with regards to how do
- 32:51Speaker 8: they manage him now that the, if the body's starting to,
- 32:54Speaker 8: you know, give way a little bit, he's 38 years
- 32:56Speaker 8: of age, unlike still side bottom who came to them
- 32:59Speaker 8: and said, I'm done, you know, thanks so much. It
- 33:03Speaker 8: gets more delicate. the more recognised the player is and
- 33:06Speaker 8: the longer they go. And with Pendlebury, a bit like
- 33:09Speaker 8: Walker with the Crows, it kind of needs to be
- 33:11Speaker 8: them coming out and saying it.
- 33:12Speaker 2: When did we, as a society, change to, oh, he's
- 33:17Speaker 2: earned the right to play on if he wants?
- 33:19Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Footy clubs are known for their hard decisions. Alistair Clarkson
- 33:23Speaker 2: breaking up Hawthorne. Hodgie went up to Brisbane. Mitch went
- 33:26Speaker 2: out to West... Well, Sam Mitchell still does it.
- 33:29Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 33:29Speaker 3: He's really tough. No one's bigger than a footy club.
- 33:32Speaker 3: We hear that all the time. I don't understand.
- 33:35Speaker 9: Yeah, you hear that, and then there's exceptions to rule,
- 33:38Speaker 9: aren't there?
- 33:38Speaker 5: I would say Scott Pendlebury is one of a handful
- 33:41Speaker 5: of players across the whole league who has the right
- 33:43Speaker 5: to have a mutual discussion with the club, whereas there'd
- 33:45Speaker 5: be very, very few players that even have a say
- 33:49Speaker 5: in what their future looks like.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Mutual discussion, yes. But if Collingwood are dead set on
- 33:52Speaker 3: they think his time's up and he wants to play on,
- 33:57Speaker 3: What do you do then?
- 33:58Speaker 4: He won't play on.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Okay.
- 33:59Speaker 4: It's professional sport. I'm sorry, 100%.
- 34:02Speaker 5: Collingwood, if they don't feel like he can contribute in
- 34:05Speaker 5: some way, they will either organise a coaching-type role, but
- 34:09Speaker 5: they won't give up a list spot for someone they
- 34:11Speaker 5: don't view as potentially being the best 22 at that age.
- 34:14Speaker 4: No way. Professional sport is ruthless.
- 34:16Speaker 8: And you've seen it firsthand. You're top of the pops.
- 34:21Speaker 8: We see you here for the next decade and then.
- 34:23Speaker 9: All of a sudden, see you, mate.
- 34:24Speaker 5: I've seen it with players that have played 250 games
- 34:27Speaker 5: that were guns that contributed in all ways to the club.
- 34:30Speaker 5: As soon as you can't add value, you are gone.
- 34:32Speaker 5: And that is the nature of professional sport. Scott Penderbury,
- 34:35Speaker 5: as I said, has the right to have a mutual
- 34:37Speaker 5: discussion with the club, but he wouldn't have any more
- 34:40Speaker 5: say than what the club does.
- 34:41Speaker 3: No way.
- 34:41Speaker 8: Just a little bit of golf before I go. So
- 34:43Speaker 8: the PGA season, that's come to its head. So it
- 34:47Speaker 8: finishes this weekend. So the way they do it is,
- 34:49Speaker 8: and it's been a topic of conjecture, every season because
- 34:53Speaker 8: they don't know how to make it attractive to the
- 34:55Speaker 8: viewers and to the golfers.
- 34:56Speaker 3: They need a party hole.
- 34:58Speaker 4: What they do.
- 34:59Speaker 8: Is they have, say, 125 sort of roughly playing each week.
- 35:03Speaker 8: And then they whittle it down. Three weeks ago, they
- 35:05Speaker 8: have the final three weeks they make at the top 70,
- 35:07Speaker 8: depending on the points that you've accumulated throughout the season.
- 35:10Speaker 8: And you get points for each tournament. And then after
- 35:13Speaker 8: the third last week, which was a couple of weeks ago,
- 35:15Speaker 8: they whittle it down to the top 50. And then
- 35:17Speaker 8: the 50 becomes the top 30, which it is this week. Now,
- 35:20Speaker 8: in years gone past, what they do is they say,
- 35:23Speaker 8: Scotty Scheffler, you're the number one player after the last
- 35:27Speaker 8: 11 months and so on.
- 35:28Speaker 4: Three weeks.
- 35:29Speaker 8: So you're going to start, they have a staggered start.
- 35:32Speaker 8: So they would start him, I think it was at
- 35:33Speaker 8: 12 under. And then the second player would start at
- 35:36Speaker 8: 10 under, the next player at nine under, the next
- 35:38Speaker 8: player at eight under, all the way down to even.
- 35:40Speaker 8: The problem with that is you've got 15 blokes that
- 35:43Speaker 8: are starting 12 shots behind Scotty Scheffler. So it's like
- 35:46Speaker 8: a handicap system and people going, this is ridiculous. Like
- 35:48Speaker 8: there's only realistically three people that can win it. So
- 35:51Speaker 8: they've gone back to, if you just make the top
- 35:53Speaker 8: 30 and you can win the whole season event. So
- 35:57Speaker 8: Minwoo Lee, who qualified 28th, only just scraped in.
- 36:01Speaker 9: Great effort still. He's in there.
- 36:03Speaker 8: So is Adam Scott. After the first round, so it's
- 36:05Speaker 8: 10 million US if you win this thing. After the
- 36:08Speaker 8: first round, Minwoo Lee, guess what? He's in the league
- 36:10Speaker 8: by two shots.
- 36:10Speaker 9: He's eight under.
- 36:11Speaker 3: So we get to the final one and it's level
- 36:13Speaker 3: playing field. Everyone's on zero.
- 36:14Speaker 10: Yep.
- 36:15Speaker 8: And that, And some people would say that's ridiculous. Minwoo
- 36:18Speaker 8: Lee hasn't won the last 12 months. Other players have
- 36:20Speaker 8: won three tournaments and now you're on this. So they're
- 36:24Speaker 8: going to change it again, Sammy, without getting bogged down
- 36:27Speaker 8: too much in detail. I think in a couple of years,
- 36:29Speaker 8: what they'll do is they'll make it top 32 and
- 36:30Speaker 8: they're going to make it match play. So if I'm
- 36:33Speaker 8: ranked number one and you're number 32, we play each other, knockout.
- 36:36Speaker 8: Whoever wins, then you keep going. So they're going to,
- 36:39Speaker 8: They're trying to find the right formula that's TV friendly.
- 36:42Speaker 2: It sounds like all the motorsport around the world as well.
- 36:45Speaker 2: You have your season, they're now the finals to try
- 36:47Speaker 2: and get those viewers in.
- 36:48Speaker 9: Exactly.
- 36:48Speaker 8: A bit like the V8s, you know, whereas some drivers
- 36:51Speaker 8: are going, that's rubbish. Like, I've been the best driver
- 36:53Speaker 8: all year. And then it comes down to, I have...
- 36:56Speaker 8: a blown-out tyre, and I'm gone.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Happened to Brock Feeney on the streets of Adelaide.
- 37:00Speaker 9: Exactly.
- 37:00Speaker 8: So there's that level of, you know, is that really just?
- 37:04Speaker 8: But then I guess people will say, well, that's what
- 37:05Speaker 8: happens in the AFL, you know. Fremantle could be the
- 37:08Speaker 8: best side all year and then not even make a prelim.
- 37:10Speaker 3: That's a bit different, though. There's one driver, 20-odd players.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Anyway, before you go, seeing as you're talking golf, where
- 37:15Speaker 2: do we actually stand with Liv?
- 37:17Speaker 3: What is going on? Will there be a Liv event
- 37:19Speaker 3: at Kooyonga next year? Is it Kooyonga?
- 37:21Speaker 8: I think it will be, yeah. But I think it'll
- 37:23Speaker 8: be a slimmed event. down version. So there's a lot
- 37:25Speaker 8: of talk about the moment. Bryson DeChambeau, John Rahm, where
- 37:29Speaker 8: are they going to be? Are they going to be
- 37:32Speaker 8: a part.
- 37:32Speaker 9: Of it moving forward?
- 37:33Speaker 8: Will they go back to the PGA Tour a bit
- 37:34Speaker 8: like Brooks Koepka did, who had to pay a $ 5
- 37:37Speaker 8: million fine, if you like, to a charity? Yes, I
- 37:40Speaker 8: think it will go ahead, but I don't think it's
- 37:43Speaker 8: going to be the same group of players. I still
- 37:45Speaker 8: think we'll have players, but we might lose a few
- 37:48Speaker 8: more stars before now and then.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Do you think there will ever be a live golf
- 37:51Speaker 3: tournament in North Adelaide?
- 37:54Speaker 9: I do have some concerns now.
- 37:56Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think that's why the government worked really
- 37:58Speaker 8: hard to get that Australian Open shored up so that
- 38:01Speaker 8: at least they could say, we've got something, you know,
- 38:04Speaker 8: of note here.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Thank you, Tommy. Good on you, boys.
- 38:06Speaker 2: On the weekend, you're heading out to, what, Pepper's Truck
- 38:08Speaker 2: Wash to spread them as well?
- 38:11Speaker 9: Yes, and I want Ned.
- 38:13Speaker 8: In some nice little tank top with me.
- 38:18Speaker 9: I like that, Randy.
- 38:18Speaker 4: That'd be great.
- 38:20Speaker 3: You guys can have that to yourself.
- 38:22Speaker 4: Get off our, what is it? Off our bandwagon. Off
- 38:25Speaker 4: our turf.
- 38:25Speaker 3: You're on our turf. You're on notice, Tom Randall. A
- 38:27Speaker 3: bit like Harrison Ford.
- 38:28Speaker 4: Get off my plane. He's a movie nerd, isn't he?
- 38:33Speaker 3: Air Force One, very good. I knew what movie that was.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Nine minutes to six.
- 38:36Speaker 12: 822-300-00.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Stacey and Will for 5AA Breakfast coming up after six.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Time for a call or two before that, so jump
- 38:42Speaker 3: to it.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Going for a top of 21 degrees and mostly sunny.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Going to be a beautiful day across Adelaide. And that
- 38:58Speaker 2: means it's probably going to be a beautiful day up
- 39:00Speaker 2: in Mount Barker, Nettie. Because Arthur from Mount Barker.
- 39:04Speaker 4: Our favourite Mount Barker correspondent.
- 39:06Speaker 3: He's on the line.
- 39:08Speaker 6: Hello, boys. How are you?
- 39:10Speaker 1: Good.
- 39:10Speaker 4: Arthur, you know I gave you a call out yesterday.
- 39:12Speaker 4: I was wondering where you were because we hadn't heard
- 39:14Speaker 4: from you.
- 39:15Speaker 6: No, I've woken up a bit earlier this time than
- 39:18Speaker 6: I should. I'm sorry for that. What I'm phoning about,
- 39:21Speaker 6: I was very interested to hear about that fox getting
- 39:23Speaker 6: a bit of bird flu down the West Lakes there.
- 39:27Speaker 7: Yes.
- 39:28Speaker 4: Do we have an update on it, Sammy?
- 39:29Speaker 12: No.
- 39:30Speaker 4: The risk to dogs?
- 39:31Speaker 3: Well, we had Dr.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Derek on 5AA Mornings yesterday, and he went through a
- 39:35Speaker 2: few things that you can and should do and think about.
- 39:37Speaker 2: But the fox, the reports are that it got its
- 39:41Speaker 2: hands on a dead bird that had bird flu, and
- 39:44Speaker 2: they're still doing all the investigations. But it's something that's
- 39:47Speaker 2: only going to get worse from here out, you feel?
- 39:51Speaker 6: Well, if I were concerned, you can kill as many
- 39:53Speaker 6: pots as you like.
- 39:55Speaker 3: They are a bit of a nuisance.
- 39:57Speaker 6: Oh, well, do you have lambs down in your property
- 40:00Speaker 6: at Hartley there?
- 40:02Speaker 3: Does he have lambs?
- 40:03Speaker 5: No, well, at Hartley, it's just a small grazing block.
- 40:06Speaker 4: We've got about 200 ewes on there, Arthur, so there's
- 40:08Speaker 4: a few lambs.
- 40:08Speaker 6: Yeah, but do you have them lambing those?
- 40:11Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 40:11Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 40:12Speaker 7: We do, yeah.
- 40:12Speaker 6: Because.
- 40:17Speaker 6: Do you have alpacas or something to try during that time,
- 40:20Speaker 6: or how do you get on for... I know our farmers,
- 40:24Speaker 6: years gone by, have lost a lot of... See, the
- 40:26Speaker 6: trouble with foxes, they'll eat the tongue out of a
- 40:28Speaker 6: lamb and it's still alive, all that type of thing.
- 40:30Speaker 4: Foxes are... Yeah, they're not a huge problem for us.
- 40:33Speaker 4: We've got a.
- 40:35Speaker 5: As well as having a couple of alpacas, we've got
- 40:36Speaker 5: something called a gun, which helps as well.
- 40:39Speaker 4: We do have a couple of alpacas.
- 40:41Speaker 5: The biggest thing for us, Arthur, remarkably, is actually eagles.
- 40:45Speaker 5: The eagles take some of the smaller lambs.
- 40:48Speaker 6: Is that so? Yes, I've heard that, yeah.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Picks them up and takes them.
- 40:51Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got huge eagles in our area, and we
- 40:54Speaker 5: don't lose many lambs.
- 40:55Speaker 4: We're pretty lucky and pretty on to it.
- 40:57Speaker 5: But no doubt, eagles pose a huge risk at lambing
- 41:00Speaker 5: time in our area.
- 41:02Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, see, I've never had a lot to do
- 41:05Speaker 6: with sheep. I was on my... Well, I was a
- 41:07Speaker 6: dairy farmer until about four years ago. Like, I was
- 41:11Speaker 6: the last one to fit and ship me a bike
- 41:12Speaker 6: with that. But, um... Yeah, and also of rainfall this year,
- 41:16Speaker 6: you were a very dry spot around Strathalban there.
- 41:19Speaker 5: Had a later start, Strath, but now it's kicking along, Arthur.
- 41:23Speaker 6: They've had 80 millimetres in the last month. That's so safe,
- 41:26Speaker 6: you know, like, until then. You're still a dry spot.
- 41:30Speaker 6: Just look at the Argus here, all around. See, up
- 41:33Speaker 6: at Ashton and Mount Lofton, they've had up near 1,000 millimetre.
- 41:36Speaker 6: And you've only had 215 millimetre at Strathalban.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Well, what about the Mid-North compared to their averages, mate?
- 41:43Speaker 4: They're underwater.
- 41:45Speaker 6: Yes, well, I'm just looking here at Nuri Upta, and, yeah,
- 41:51Speaker 6: they've only had about 233 millimetre for the year. That's
- 41:56Speaker 6: a brass. But, yes, that's right. It's been very patchy
- 42:01Speaker 6: this year.
- 42:02Speaker 5: Well, where the feedlot is is near Palmer, mate, and
- 42:05Speaker 5: we've got lambs on feed there, and we usually like
- 42:08Speaker 5: that to be pretty dry, obviously, because you don't want
- 42:09Speaker 5: your pens and everything getting too wet. That is underwater,
- 42:12Speaker 5: and some of the older gentlemen who have seen the
- 42:14Speaker 5: area a lot longer than me say it's one of
- 42:16Speaker 5: the best crops they've had in the last 15 or
- 42:17Speaker 5: 20 years.
- 42:19Speaker 6: Palmer to date has had 286.4 millimetres. They've had 68
- 42:22Speaker 6: this last month, yeah, month to date, yeah.
- 42:26Speaker 8: Before Arthur goes, Arthur, what day would be best if
- 42:29Speaker 8: we were to do a regular segment with you?
- 42:31Speaker 5: Like what day could you commit to and what time?
- 42:33Speaker 5: Like Friday's at 5.55?
- 42:35Speaker 7: Pardon?
- 42:36Speaker 5: Well, if we did a regular segment with you, what
- 42:38Speaker 5: time could you be awake and on?
- 42:42Speaker 6: I can't really think. This man's out. Now that I'm
- 42:47Speaker 6: sort of done having to get up early for the day,
- 42:48Speaker 6: I sort of sleep in a bit there. Why are
- 42:50Speaker 6: you getting cold feet?
- 42:51Speaker 4: You're being noncommittal. What time, what day? Just say.
- 42:54Speaker 3: He doesn't want to.
- 42:55Speaker 8: He's asleep.
- 42:56Speaker 4: Well, he has to get up. Set an alarm, Arthur.
- 43:02Speaker 7: Man, by the.
- 43:03Speaker 6: I did with all the blood. I'm just finishing off.
- 43:06Speaker 6: Watching football like last night, to me it's messing around footy.
- 43:11Speaker 6: I know it's for a cause, but nothing better than
- 43:16Speaker 6: watching young lads running around when they're fit. You can
- 43:18Speaker 6: tell when chaps are overweight and messing around. It's not
- 43:22Speaker 6: going to be messing around with footy and get badly hurt,
- 43:24Speaker 6: my way of thinking.
- 43:25Speaker 4: It was for charity, though, Arthur.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Well done, Arthur. Thank you, Arthur.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Well, Brent Favola found that out last night. He's done something.
- 43:31Speaker 2: A mischief to his knee. But as we said at
- 43:33Speaker 2: the top of the show, Gary Ablett Jr. and Buddy Franklin,
- 43:35Speaker 2: Dusty Martin.
- 43:36Speaker 4: They look fresh as a daisy.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Send them down to Tassie.
- 43:38Speaker 12: Hmm.
- 43:39Speaker 4: Very good. I'd like a segment with Arthur regularly. That'd
- 43:43Speaker 4: be good.
- 43:43Speaker 5: I'd like Cathy as our bird nerd to come on regularly.
- 43:45Speaker 5: I'd like Linda to talk about the park runs. Don't
- 43:48Speaker 5: we already do that? I'd like the Blue Brothers to
- 43:50Speaker 5: come on and bark. Sue could do the op shops,
- 43:52Speaker 5: what's going on there. Julie from Tea Tree Gully, she
- 43:55Speaker 5: could do the JMS rural fencing update as to how
- 43:58Speaker 5: they're going with all their rural fencing. Julie from Blakeview
- 44:01Speaker 5: could do some matchmaking.
- 44:02Speaker 3: Peter from Marston does the sandfall.
- 44:04Speaker 4: Peter from Marston does the sandfall. Yeah, there's plenty of.
- 44:07Speaker 5: Rob can just text in his puns. There's lots to
- 44:09Speaker 5: like about our listeners, that's for sure.
- 44:12Speaker 3: We've got to get out of here.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Time for 5AA Breakfast with Stacey and Will. Feedback Friday,
- 44:16Speaker 2: Meat Train Friday. They'll cross over to Canberra to get
- 44:18Speaker 2: the very latest from the federal political scene.
- 44:21Speaker 3: They're going to be talking the bin bandit.
- 44:23Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 44:23Speaker 2: They're going to be talking the bin bandit and also
- 44:25Speaker 2: Timmy G with the latest in sport.
- 44:27Speaker 4: It's going to be a fun weekend. Great weather. Enjoy it,
- 44:30Speaker 4: High Fivers.
