  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: talk about netball and we talk about so much more.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But there's really not much more to be talking about
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: now because this is Georgie Horges's world and we're all
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just living in facts. I'm Carolyn Swindell, I'm Catherine Coxon.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: That's the smartest thing I've ever heard you say.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, Army's allies, and I'm happy for Georgie Hodges to
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: own the world until I.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Decided goalkeeper passes to here. All right, so there you go.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Very good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what a game?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, what a game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It is Monday morning now, or is Monday lunchtime actually,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: but still recovering from that last quarter of netball was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just extraordinary on Friday night, and there's more.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: To come and I'm going on Wednesday night. I mean,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the good thing is it's like seventeen is a big
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: margin and the fact that it was Australia's highest ever
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: score against Australia. We'll unpack that in a minute too,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: because that's that, to me is next level. When you
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: think about the teams and the talent and the amount
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of games that's gone before that, they finally, you know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and still breaking records like that when they're changing their
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: lineups and all the rest of it and.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: No supershot and no supershot. Correct.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But I think the good thing for New Zealand is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they were in it for three quarters.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It was amazing, you know, it was deep in the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter before I could unclench.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was amazing.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Karen Berger, their captains come out and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: said mental fatigue is where they got them and given
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: everything they've been through, so we'll see it could be
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a completely different side. I don't think they're starting seven.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Was the seven they should have gone with New Zealand
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and they've got more to give there.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Who would you have had on?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have had Salmon on for as long. I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: think start a fine, give her a crack, but young.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think she did enough to take pressure off
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Wiki and then that was her lowest. She was outscored
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: by everybody, and you don't often see that from Grace.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So I think if they have a goal attack that's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a bit more maybe experienced, a bit more demanding. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: think it need a bit of speed. Georgia Heffnan didn't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: play at all. She's probably there better goal attack option
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and kattuur VARDI was a bit shocked she didn't start,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: so that may happen, but I think that'll take a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the pressure of Grace. So if I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: if they tweak some stuff, it could be a very
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: interesting game on Wednesday.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Tell you what, I'm really glad. I'm glad that at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Grand Final we had a lovely dribbler who appointed
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: me an honorary Vixen's member, because man, how good you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: know Kate Maloney, Sophie Garbin, Kira Austin. It's just these
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: slick They are just sharp, all of them.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So on the dribblers while we're quickly talking about it,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: can I please say a big hello to all of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: them that stayed until we'd finished the hosting at the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: end of the game, So they stayed for half an hour.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Oh nice and waited to say hello to me, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: they were the I just love our community so much.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: They are the nicest, funniest people. It was awesome. Did
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: they find.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: You, Liz, No, Well, I was waiting for you when
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I got bored so I left. So they're much nicer
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: than me.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not waiting for her. I'm going home.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get up at five point thirty in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: morning to go home to watch junior cricket. So what,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And dribblers, you are a much better friend to Catherine
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Cox than I am.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But I'll trying to fudd.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Tell us about the weekend you had. Please, You've run
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Catherine and I through it, but I'm still I'm exhausted
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: listening to the weekend that you had.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm a bit tired too, But I don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: want to win because I'm sure there will come a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: time when my kids had grown up and left home
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that I'll be a bit like, Oh, I love those weekends.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: But AnyWho.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So I was in Melbourne for the game, and I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: went down for some meetings beforehand.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: So Friday was a massive day.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Thought about waiting for Coxy to say hello, went bug
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of that for a bunch of bananas, and went off
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and went to bed because I was up at five
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: thirty am on Saturday morning. Got an early flight back
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to the Gold Coast. Actually flew as I flew in,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I flew over my son's cricket game. He was playing
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: near Gold Coast, so I waved and he did not
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: wave back. So I thought that was rude, So I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: went and watched him play cricket, and he's a couple
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: of years younger than everyone in his team, but he
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: was the second high scorer, so scored thirty nine runs
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and took the weekend. So he was wrapped with that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Cricket's a bit of a rubbish game, though, isn't it
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like if you play a bad shot. You know, in
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: our game, if you throw a bad pass, or you
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: miss a shot, or you miss an intercept, you're like, okay,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: next time the ball comes down, I'll be better, right,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you think about the next thing. In cricket, you play
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: a bad shot, you're out. It's too bad, So sad
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: get off, like that's it. There's no opportunity to go, oh,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I know what I did. Then next ball, I'm right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You get off and you've got another innings or another
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: week to think about that. So away watch cricket, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: then took him to a party of some friends.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Of ours, one of their little boy.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: He stayed for a couple of hours, basically got there
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: in time for the pinard of the cake and swim
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in the pool dagon pool, got him dressed, went to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: rugby presentation, so both the kids. Their local club had
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: their rugby presentation. Everyone got most improved in her rugby team,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: which was very exciting, so it was lovely for her
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to get a there's one other girl. There's two girls
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in the team, so that was exciting. Came home and collapsed.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Ate a pie for dinner on Saturday night, food a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: champions got the next morning at seven went to watch
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Evely and play Rugby seven's at Barron Bay all day
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: yesterday which sounds really fantastic, but we're just sitting on
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a footy field. Got home last night, fell in a
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: heap here. I am happy days, so it was a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: big weekend.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You are, you're totally allowed to have a pie for
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: dinner when you're knackd We call that a surprise plate
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: in our house. It's whatever you can find. It goes
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: on a plate with no.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Effort on a plate and you're not just eating directly
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: out of the fridge.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes as I can involved.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: No eveyone works at a bakery, right, so happy days.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: She brought home like ten pies. We had had a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: small goas board of pies. It was fantastic pies and
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of beers. What is not to love so
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: big weekend, but very excited about the Diamonds game, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I would like European Catherine, I felt even though it
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: was close, I felt like the Diamonds were doing a
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: terrific job wearing the silver ferns down. I felt I
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: always felt like they were going to run away with it,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: just because the hands over pressure and you started to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: see those mistakes coming when they tried to force the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: ball along and it was fascinating. I was sitting next
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to t gentlemen who Netball Australia partners, and they were
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: really invested in the game and it was actually, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I totally love myself because I said to them that
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: midway through the third quarter, so I think Australia is
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: going to run away with this, and they're like, oh,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: how do you know? And I said, well, just watch
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: the work that Jamie Lee Price is doing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: She won't show up on any stats. She's not pulling
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in massive intercepts, but she's pushing the wing attack up
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: up the court, hands up over pressure, the whole line.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But Jamie Lee Price in particular was outstanding and just
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: creating that pressure that gave Courtney and Sunday the space
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: to do what they did and just and so of
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: course when the Diamonds run away with it, I was
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: a bit like, ah, I told you, sir, but did
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you question feel yeah, yeah, exactly did you feel like
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: that to Uka from.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Where you were watching?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and Kate Maline to like, at the start
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of the game, we were watching Mattie Gordon trying to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: get free. She did maybe six or seven moves, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Kate Maloney was on it every single time in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: first quarter. I thought, there's no in the world she
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: can sustain that. You can't do that for sixty minutes,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: having to work that hard to get one ball, There'll
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: be cactus. So it was interesting here in Karen Berger
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: say mental fatigue. I also think they're just not as
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: fit as us.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: That's what it looked like to me. It was a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fitness thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, no doubt that's played a part because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot going on. We appreciate that. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the Diamonds are fit and they will wear you down.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't even their hands over stuff is because
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that was exceptional as well. We mentioned that too, But
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: it's every ball's contested and then every pass has hands
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: over that is such solid workloads for defenders, isn't it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: like to do that for a full game? And then
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it does the cracks start to show. You could tell
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: they couldn't be bothered working it, or it was too hard,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: or it just became taxing, and that's start to pivot yep.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: And it was interesting, right.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: So that's I always feel like every team that comes
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: up against Australia in a test series the first game
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it's such a shock having to wear the body of
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the whole sixty minutes. With a few days rest and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a bit of video analysis, I think you're right. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: think New Zealand will be better. I think the Silver
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: fans will be better on Wednesday night.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But I also think Australia will be better because they
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You can tell at the start of a game when
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you haven't played his own like that for a long time,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it does take you. It catches you off guard a little.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And we saw it was Liz Watson and Kira Austin
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: had the most turnovers in the first quarter because it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: just that, you know, trying to read and play and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: getting used to it again. So I think they'll be
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: so much better for it as well.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And I thought.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I thought Liz Watson was outstanding. Didn't show up in
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the stats, but she was really defended hard by their
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: silver ferns, and I thought their focus on her just
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: gave Kate Maloney all the space in the world to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: do what she wanted. So the problem is you shut
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: one down the other one. Okay, I'll be whack a mole. Yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: exactly right. So if they split now and they go, oh,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: one of us has got to focus on Kate and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: one on Liz, well, then Lizzel step it and go, oh,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I've only got one defender on me now, I think
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I might dominate. So it's a tough one to analyze
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: if you're trying to shut them down defensively.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: It was good to see Georgie in her natural habitat
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: wing attacked for a game. I feel like that was
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: only off the back of Liz going off semi injured, though,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: because I don't know that Georgie's role in that team
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is ever going to be solely wing attacked, right, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: reckon she's going to mostly be in a goal what's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that role?
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it was absolutely right to just
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: let Sophie and Kira keep doing what you do with
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Sophie Garbin is so strong. It's so incredible to watch her,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Her standing elevation is nuts, just from a completely standing
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: still jump. It's so impressive. Yes, So I don't know
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: what they'll they'll definitely mix it up. I feel like
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Stacey morenco which is going to have to mix it up.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: This is the time to do it, isn't it. Do
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you reckon?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know so well, because when do you do it?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Otherwise for the game once you've sewn up I would
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: have thought get the con cut back and then the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: fourth game have a play.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just feel like you can because
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: there's no weaknesses in our squad.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Be interesting to see Sarah Cloud get a run against Grace.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I was looking forward to seeing that, so I'd like
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to see that in Sydney. But you're right, the squad's
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: got incredible depth. But I just feel like if you've
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: got the opportunity to put your foot down against the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: ferns while they're a bit wounded, you sort.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Of have to do it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So do you think exactly the same seven or you'd
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: change maybe one then keep your core?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: What would you keep mcare and I might change one
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: just to see what happens. And this is the thing, right,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: isn't it? Like you you sort of when you get
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to a World Cup, particularly or a Conworth game is
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the final. In the final, you're probably going to play
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: seven or eight players, so maybe you might swap one
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: out now to give them a run with the rest.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it'd be really interesting. I don't actually,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I haven't even seen who the twelve are, so I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: don't know if they've swapping into the twelve.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: In or out either. I don't think the twelve out yet,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't seen it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But I got to say though, it's fascinating to see
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: that Australia scored its high score with a moving, largely
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: moving circle. Yeah, And I do wonder it'll be interesting
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: to see if over the next few years Australia sort
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: of pioneer that moved back to a moving circle and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: we see the rest of the world follow or it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: just just unusual and you'll get back to a holding
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: shoot at some point, like Sophie Garvin holds. And I
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: was sitting right down on the baseline and it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: phenomenal to see the amount of work she does to
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: give Cures some space as well. It's just every part
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: of that game that every time I looked I focused
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: on a player during Friday Night's game, you could see
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that they were doing their job, but they are also
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: doing the one percenters that don't get measured that set
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: their teammates up for success. And if you watch on
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Wednesday night, just watch for that. Watch what happens off
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the ball when someone gets in insept. Just be aware
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: of what's happening in front of them. When there's a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: great play down the court, see he's running decoy. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: think when you watch the Diamonds from that point of view,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: you see just how impressive they are.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It is fascinating just to solely focus on one person.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't do that in commentary do that?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just know I've been caught before.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Well it's actually if Nepaul Australia could help me out here,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it's really helpful of Liz sits in that same spot
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in every game because we focus on we do a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: bit of Spotto, Lizzella Spotto in the crowd where we're
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: watching the broadcast at home, spoty there she is.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: It certainly helps up my head's shiny silver.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So we play spotto for one player obviously in each game.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But she hasn't actually played in quite some time, or
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: has she has she been back on court recently?
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you, I am touchwood. I've survived
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: last Monday night, but I'm gearing up for tonight. So
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I got to the courts and I saw all my teammates.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Or the mothers. The girls were all up.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: They played in the game before as well as they
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: back up for our game. And I got there and
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I dumped my stuff and I went there's an oval
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: next to the netball courts of Balana, and I went
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: to do a warm up, and I said, does anyone
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: else want to come and do a warm up? And
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: they all just laughed until they got stitches. So I
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: went off by my little pat Malone and did a
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: full warm up, just because I was very nervous about
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: hurting myself. But I don't know. We'll be plowed to yes,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: so hopefully I don't sort of lose that enthusiasm through
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the course of the season.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: But it was so much fun.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: There was a goal shooter bib On at one point.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Girl attack.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, someone asked me what my stats were, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: let me say I got a lot of rebounds. It's
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: probably the best way to describe it. I got a couple,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: but it took me a few. Was the first quarter
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the girls. So the fun of this is that the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: four girls. There's four of girls who organize it and
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: playing with their mums. So two of the girls, Evelyn
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: and her mate Macy Macy's I coached them, and Macy's
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: organizing it. So Macy's trying to tell me what position
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: to play. So she told me I couldn't play goalkeeper,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and I said, please, I just want to play goalkeeper
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: for the first quarter, just while I get my bearings.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: So I did that, and Evelyn played in gold efence.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: So I loved playing in the circle with her and
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: telling her what to do.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I told her that her and Allison Broadbank can compare
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: notes about being yelled at by me telling you where
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: to go, what to do, how to do it. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: then the next quarter they handed me the center bie.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh my god, lots of running in center,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and I'm not very good at understanding.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Like the good centers pick and choose when they run,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: they don't try and do everything everywhere all at once,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: which I tried to do. So after that quarter I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: had a quarter off just to catch my breast, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: then the last quarter they handed me the goal attack
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: bim and Macy who's organizing it. Who's fourteen. She's a
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: goal attack in my team on Saturdays. And I continually
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: tell her, Catherine, to aim for the little imaginary troll
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: that's sitting at the front of the ring. And so
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: then of course when I was shooting and missing, She's like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: aim for the little maginary trailer.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: You're troubling me, you're the troll. Leave me alone.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Anyway, it was Funfortunately there was a woman in playing
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: goal shooter. What are the other moms who actually can
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: play goal shooter?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: So that was good. It was fun though.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I loved it, and with the two two one too,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: no less the rainbow two too. A little different from
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the uniform I wore the last time I played, which
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: was a gold dress, but and on a hard outdoor court.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So oh, heaps of fun though, Like if you're considering,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: if you haven't played, and you're considering about playing again,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and I've got to say, you know, seeing Bob Jarvis
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: on the court inspired me. I was like, right, Bob's
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: still playing, I can still play. So and on the
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: way home, I was a bit over excited and I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: said to everyone, if you play sets next year, I
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: might play with you. And she was like, yeah, mom,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: this this was not an ongoing Yeah, this is not
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: like an on train to something else. This is not
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the gateway.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So when Harp was over here a couple of weeks
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: ago while we were recording on school holidays, she got
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the unbridled joy of me coaching her the way I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: coach my team, which is, I don't care what you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: do about netball, but we're never versing anyone that does
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: not exist. That does not exist in the English language.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Versus is a Latin word, so we play against someone
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: or we're playing versus someone. And Harper was thrilled to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: get this lecture.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: If she's anything like her mother, she would delight in
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: a lecture about grammar.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So where do you stand on the versing?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I don't like it.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: It jars my ear, but I've got too many other
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: things going on in my head to even think about that.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I'm more about focusing on passing and catching, and I
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: sometimes correct them as we go. But also I'm like
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the English language is a malleable thing, Carolyn Swindle. Like
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you know, if someone spoke to you in English from
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: a thousand years ago, you wouldn't understand them. And no,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: sometimes I think when children who are ten years younger
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: than me speak to me, I don't understand children who
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: are ten years younger than ten years younger than you're
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: grown up. If you're a child now in the fourteen
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: and you speak to me, I sometimes don't understand you.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: The later changes yeah, skibbitty skibbity six seven yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Six seven yeah, six, we're so cool. I love doing
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that in front of her, in front of my kids
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: because the embarrassment on the face is just something you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: can't buy. Yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: In my six class last week, someone tried that on
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: me and it's like, I know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: What that is, you idiot.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: So it was sort of like, you know, they were
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: trying to lead me down somewhere, thinking that this will
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: be funny for all of us because she won't know
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: what it is. And I just went six sevens.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Have you watched that video that it sort of started
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: on radio yeah or something?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I went down that rabbit hole. I was a
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: bit depressed. I was happy just to.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Come home to my farm mentally and go, oh, this
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: is much nicer here than downtown wherever they are ridiculous. AnyWho, Catherine,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: speaking of your daughter, we forgot to follow up on
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: you here. No evils speak no evil, see no evil.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Challenge baking your baking challenge.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just say it's never happening again. But there
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: was a massive false start. So firstly, so Harper had
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: their headphones on, which meant that I had the tape
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: across my mouth so I couldn't speak, and her friend
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: had the eye mask on so she couldn't see right,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: so she couldn't read the instructions. I could read them,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: but I couldn't verbalize them to anybody else. So Harper
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the only person that can read them and say them
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: off with the fairies. So I had to stop at
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the start and say, buddy, you are the one that
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: needs to run. So because she had the music on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in her headphone, so she's just dancing around the kitchen,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like, can we all right happy to do this,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: but let's put some rules in?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And then was she shouting it when it was.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Help shouting the whole way? So I kept going lower lower.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It was a train rack and then but the biggest
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: false start was the first thing on their recipe or
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the instructions is obviously to preheat the oven, so go
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to turn the oven on, and then realize it just
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: before I went to Dubai it broch oh, and I'd
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: completely forgotten about it. So I said, oh my god. Okay, well,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: so we're going to have to put them in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: air fryer. But I didn't have any pans fit in
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the air fry I had these. I found a couple
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of tiny little ones. So we ended up having to
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: do one cake mixture in five of these little ones
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and just cook them separate s. There was a train wreck,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: there was crap everywhere, and then by the end of
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: it and me just telling her to stop yelling, I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, never again. When we get to decorating,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: absolutely no chance that this is going to continue. There
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: was icing from there to there and sprinkles all over
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the joint. So yeah, it was fun, but you need
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to have somebody that understands how to communicate leading it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: It's not my child, absolutely not my child. She might
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: have learned some valuable lessons from it, though, think so
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: was it edible?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we owed them sugary but edible. Okay, yeah, but
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I need to get marve and fixed. But yeah, I'll.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Get on to that. Yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Nice work, a baking challenge without an oven.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we had our first game of spring com Monday
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: last week as well, and I think I told you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: guys that I was going to let them play different positions. Yeah,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: whatever they wanted to. And Harps had been nagging me
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: for goal shooter, so I let her play goal shooter
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and she sunk most of our goals, got six of them,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and was actually surprisingly good because I think she's a
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: bit of a baby giraffe when she's an attack and
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: one just trips over her own feet and throws balls
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: away and stuff. She was actually quite good because I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: threatened her that she had to concentrate. It was never
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: going to happen again. But every time she got a goal,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: she'd look at me and be like, yeah, like doing
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: these some faces, Like ay, calmed down.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Like I thought this was meant to be hard.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Mum, Yeah, that's exactly what it was. It's please anyway,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So maybe she's back to goal shooter.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, so is this a permanent move? Do you think
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: it's a permanent move? Seven?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I think we've probably just killed the whole six seventh
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: thing for every child.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: So go ass.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Did either of you happen to do wordle last Wednesday?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, specifically last Wednesday? I don't think so.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: You're probably, but it should have been memorable. I'm pretty
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: sure you would have sent me a note if you had.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I've been sitting on this one for a week, and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it just goes to show that, you know, although we
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: speak English and the United States speaks English, and obviously
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that word ll comes out of the United States, that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: there are differences in the language that are fairly significant sometimes.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So the five letter word was for a word that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in the United States means annie, send up or no, no,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or a parody or something a spoof.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would have Australia.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It's pronounced spoff and means something entirely different, doesn't it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: So I loved it. It was great.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It could have been fanny that it was almost that fun.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: But were you thinking it could be that? But it
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be that? Did you leave it right the last
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: did you get it? Did you get it?
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I got it?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Got me on the last one.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: The double letters always go.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Letters, and I've got a double letter.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: But yes, I enjoyed that, and I enjoyed remembering that,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you know, we might speak the same language, but there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: vast differences in culture between our country and the United States.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you were going to say that it
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: was funny the old fanny pack NOO's pretty funny.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, some great, great ones there outstanding love it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: So can I ask something? There was something? There was
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a kerfuffle during the week that seemed to reverse itself
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: within twenty four hours. But for a moment there looked
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: like Elmeray Vanderberg would not be able to play super
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Netball next year in Australia because of something to do
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: with a governance issue with someone from the South African
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Netball Board stepping off World Netball Board, and then a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people thinking, well, that means South Africa is
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: out of everything and not playing in any international comps
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and none of the players are going to be able
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to play at all. And then within twenty four hours
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: World Netball had made a statement and sort of said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like you know, that looked like South Africa
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: has not been chucked out of anything.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Did you see this. Yeah, when I saw that, I thought,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: how can they control someone coming to play over here?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: If it's like a New Zealand sit up, so they
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: won't let you go back and play for.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You contru that would be a New Zealand making its
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: own decision about that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, there'd be nothing stopping them coming to play here.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: You just have to align yourself with the club. So
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: we would always have to be signed to an association,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't we. We'd always have to have membership whatever. What's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the wording I'm trying to say here, Oh, you have
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: to just read to sir with the club.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It's also sort of auspiced by that organization.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So yes, yeah, So even when I moved down to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the Vixen's, we had to then clarify who I was
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: registered with in South Wales as a club, and it
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: was Hills District, as I always had been. So there's
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: nothing stopping you from playing in Sun Super Netball as
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: long as you're registered to a club here, I would
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: have thought.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And she satisfied all the necessary visa requirements and that
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: sort of thing, so I don't know that. I don't
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: know that she would be prevented from playing super netball
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: because of whatever status of South African netball. And I
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: don't know, like I saw this, and I mean, I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: don't know. There's been nothing officially to anyone from the
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: World governing body to say South Africa are canceled or
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: kicked out or anything. I know that's the wrong words,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: but might have been just a bit of a Facebook
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: blow up.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's what I thought was fascinating, is that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: this thing got quite big, got some legs fairly quickly,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: but it looked like it didn't have much in the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: way of substance, which I guess validates our decision. We
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: don't talk about rumors here. We will acknowledge what's going
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: on in a conversation, but we don't sort of try
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to add fuel to that fire. But yeah, it was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: just very interesting. It's like, oh, what's happening here? Nothing
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to see?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: If you imagine the sweat coming down the back of
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the Odelaide thunderbo, yeah, I know straight away.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: So hang on, Carolyn, are you saying that sometimes things
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: on the interwebs don't have a factual basis, Well, look.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Liz, I no, it's a harsh reality for some of
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: us but I like to go back to a book
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: as a good source, and I'm going to use this
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: as an opportunity to give us an excellent quote from
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: my book Foolish Words. This did not come from the Internet.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: This one's in ink and paper. So this is a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: claim submitted to an insurance company, which I love. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: this is details of the accident in question. Coming home,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I drove into the wrong house and I collided with
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a tree. I don't have.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Funny. Speaking of insurance things, there's the thing on TikTok
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the other night there was a car that had stopped
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: in front of another car and then it reversed flat
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: chat into the one behind, and everyone got out holding
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: their necks and right, yeah, this back, this car at
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the back out of dash cam, so the whole thing caught.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: But can you believe that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I know that's exact. Yeah, that is crazy, isn't it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I I don't know why, but Catherine, if you've seen
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: that on if you've watched something like that on your socials,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you are going to get heaps of dash cam stuff.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Because I did it once and I get all the
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: dash cam stuff come up, and I love it. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: can't turn away when I see dash cam footage come
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: up of car accidents or people doing dumb things, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: you start you watch one, they're like, gremlins are just
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: multiplizing your feet.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Being attacked by animals.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: He's still on that, still on that. Oh, can we
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: clarify something that the dribblers were asking about. So the
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Constellation Cup now has always been four games, well not
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: always but lately, and if it was two apiece, it
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: would go to the holder of the trophy or aggregate
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was doing before. But now there is
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: a series decider time because people were still discussing that
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: how it played out, so I don't think it's clear.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: So if it is to apiece, it goes on after
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the last game has finished, the scores go back to level,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and then there is extra time played. So basically it's
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: just extra time at the end of that game, but
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: they put the scores back to level, they make out
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: like it's another game, like a game five, and it's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: two seven minute halves. So and then if that's still drawn,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it's the first team up by two. So it's exactly
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: the same as the extra time rules. But that's how
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: they will find a winner of this, a clear winner
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: of the Constellation Cup.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Oh how exciting you got to a fourth time.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Did it happened? I wouldn't know.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I want like this to go three nil and then
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the Fourth Test it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Can be whatever, right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I got to say I'm a bit the same as you,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Carolyn during the game the other night, and the gentleman
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I was sitting next to said, oh, be great. It
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: was a rollercoaster ride and it was a really close match.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: And I said, no, no, no, no, not at all.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I really want Australia to win by one hundred and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I'll take seventeen.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: It's so much more enjoyable when the.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Now you're in your role.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't want that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't enjoyable last year, you know, we didn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: quite have the results. But yes, it was much more
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: enjoyable on Friday night and not like the same level
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: of enjoyment on Wednesday night in Sydney.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I did not watch it in ideal circumstances on Friday
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: night because, as is tradition for me, I messed up
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: my scheduling and I was on at the Comedy Store
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: again last week, and as you know, I love performing
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: at the Comedy Store and Friday night, I did two shows.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I did a Ukraine fundraiser which was fantastic, and then
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: afterwards did the late show and I was on quite
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: late in that lineup. So I'm sitting up at the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: back of the club with my tiny little phone on
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: silent watching watching it on Gayo Sports. And so then
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I got to watch it again with your commentary on
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, which was a delight. But that yeah, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I was just I was very tense and probably ruining
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the vibe in the comedy club.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Like yes, sorry, Ivanghing, I Sam Elizabeth, you're coming to Sydney.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I am coming to Sydney.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I've met wonderful to spot each other across the court again,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: so two trips. Now, I didn't see her at all
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne either. Well I saw her across a neple court.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Well I took a photo of you. Yeah, I was
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: waving at you.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: When so can we talk about the seventy five and
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen teams getting acknowledged. So there was a function
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: before the game and it was so good. I think
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Netball Australia now that you do this really really well.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: So when it's a zero anniversary, so ten twenty thirty,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: forty fifty you all get invited in. So we talked
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: last week about the ninety five team. This week the
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five team were in Morwen and then the
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen team. So up on the stage in the
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: function beforehand, there was Joyce Brown who was the coach
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: of that seventy five team, and Mark Caldo who was
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the captain, and then Laura Getz who was the captain
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: of the twenty fifteen team, and Lisa Alexander who was
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: the coach. But Mark Caldo was also the assistant coach
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: of the twenty fifteen She was too. Yeah, there's so
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: much crossover with these teams. You know, Plumb was in
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: normal Plumber was in that two nineteen to seventy five team,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: but then she coached so many teams after that, like
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: she coached the two thousand and seven and eleven teams.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: So they will come up at some point in the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: next five or six years for reunions. And it was
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: so great. I loved Like Joyce and Mark Caldo were
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: recounting a story that their World Cup was played in
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: New Zealand and they got there and they'd been put
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: in these Army barracks, Like it's so funny. Right now,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: we're planning for the twenty twenty seven World Cup and
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: we're really working hard to make sure that all the
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: teams get great accommodation and there's a minimum standard and
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: they get great food. And you know, we were laughing
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: last week about when we played in the ninety five
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: World Cup, were staying in a university in Manchester and
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: we just got this sloppy food every night, and if
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: you wanted the vegetarian option, you got put through the
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: ringer by the woman who was serving about whether you
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: were actually a vegetarian, and she starts who had had
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: meat the night before. It was always a competition to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: say who could convince that they're a vegetarian. But you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: you go back to seventy five and you know, man
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Caldo and Joyce were telling the story about they they
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: got put somewhere in the middle of nowhere in these
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: army barracks and some of the girls thought they had
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: measles and they came up to Joyce and they were like, oh,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: we think we've got measles, and Joyce was.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Like, no, I don't have a team.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And then they did some more investigation and it was Fleas.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Now, so they had this awful accommodation that had Fleas
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: in it. And you know, Joyce said, you know what,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: what the KIWI didn't sort of bank on was the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: fact that had they given us nice accommodation and looked
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: after us, that might have taken the edge office. But
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: her abiding memory was of Chris Burton, who some people
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: would remember as an umpire through the nineties and early
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: two thousands, who had a big, booming voice and a
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: big presence, and you know, once they realized they've been
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: dealt such a raw hand, she was like.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Right, it's game on. And they just bulldozed everything in
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: their path.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, they showed some of the video of
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: that game, and you know, the skills that these women had,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: and they didn't have training camps together, and they didn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: have a heap of resources. Their skills given that were
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: amazing and they'd still hold up now fifty years later.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: They are a phenomenal team, just amazing. Mag Molina was
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: in it, who Kath managed our team for a little
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: while and who wouldn't let you and I room together
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: for obvious reasons until the end of the tour.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of holding up well, though I looked at the
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: twenty fifteen team, all of them could have been on court.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Like they could play. Guys, you got up and I'm like, god,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: why didn't I look like that? She's amazing, all of them.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I spoke to Kim Revegan after the game. I'm like, man,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: you could play. She's like, no, I could not. Like, dude,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: you could absolutely step up and play.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I mean she's not long retired from the Firebirds, but yeah,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: it's they're all in ripping nick, they'll look fantastic. It
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: was great to see them all there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Well, all that arms over ball things got to help you,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you know, stave off the tuck shop arms later on
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: in life. I would have thought, it's going to be
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: got to be good for that investment in your future.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: That's not doing it an investment in your sleeveless future. Yeah, yeah,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: hanging them up at home?
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Can I ask?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Last week we were talking about Liz doing the dress
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: presso for Ash and you said, I have you not
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: done one before?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Who have you done? No? No one asked me, Oh, oh,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I thought you were.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: That's what I thought for sure you would have because
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I feel like just yeah, I've been asked before, but
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: there are games. There were games that I just couldn't
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: get to for whatever reason. Work down in the tear,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: I've got to go to everything. So oh okay, well
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I'll let stay. Sim Marinkovich know that you haven't done one.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: It's so good it is.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: It depends on when the debutants take to the court,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: what state it's in, and then they'll try and get
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: someone in that Sandy I have been Oh maybe I
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: was asked to do one in Sydney once, but I
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't do it for some reason. I was probably doing
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: commentary or something. Because we've got to be about four
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: or five hours before.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: The game, and they clearly want some specific more than
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: just you've played netball. It's like they clearly want to go, okay,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: here is here's the reason that this person is being
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: asked to do the dress press over for you, which
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I think is lovely.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Well in Australia, yeah, but when they're overseas on tour
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: often you just get not just you'd get someone from
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: within this staff who've played for Australia. So Nick Richardson
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: has played for Australia, so she would have done a
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: few I imagine if you've got a debutante who's overseas,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: so yeah, it's Catherine.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: We need to get you in there to do one.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: It's really quite humble.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: That would be nice. I would cry to you like
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a baby on Wednesday's game.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Though.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: There's of course new faces in this squad for this
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: series fifteen pins, so there was no ash irvn Dwyer
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: or Monday the other night. Do you think we'll see
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: any of those in I don't know, ash Irban. I
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: think it would be amazing on Grace as well.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's hard to know, right because you could see
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: that the Aussies just had their strategy was you don't
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: want to get in a one on one situation with
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Grace because most of the time you're going to lose.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: So they either went two on one against her and
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: just let Samon get the ball, or they went out hunting.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: So if you put ashback then you might you might
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: see a change in tactics. For example, you know, just
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: let her sit one on one and let someday get
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: out on the goal attack.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: So yeah, be fascinating.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like who'd be select that that would
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: be just way too hard so hard.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I would love to see Sarah Klow up against Grace,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: so because that's one that we haven't seen during the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: supern Apples and where we've sort of seen everyone else
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: on Grace, but we haven't seen Sarah on Grace.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: But she would know her better than anyone else obviously
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: training against So yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: And then like if you bring Hannah Monday and who
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you're going to drop out of that mid court because
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Amy Pimenta came on and she is shorter than Jami
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Lee Price, but her speed was.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, and how hungry she looks so happy to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: be back out there.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: It was so lovely and she she just got on
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: and just ran like a jack rabbit. Right, So her
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: speed is so good through that mid court. So do
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: you need to leave her and to give her more
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: of a touch?
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: As like I said, he'd be a coach. It's hard
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: enough coaching fourteen's, let alone the Australian Diamonds.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Throw the bibs up.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Just focus on the versing. Don't just just just try
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to stamp out the versing and then you've made.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: The world a better place. Yeah, right, So I always
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: say if you look after the process the outcome or
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: take care of itself. Whereas you're and that seems to
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: be very conventional wisdom, Carolyn, whereas you tend to say,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: if you look after the grammar, the outcome will take
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: care of itself. I've got to say, I haven't heard
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of high performance coaches.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Use that, So you could be onesting the nation, what
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: mark my words? And look, we saw you know, the results.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: The proof was in the pudding this year for my
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: team on court. Wasn't it a completely consistent record across.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: The what's your take on then meddling, you know in
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: the Olympics or the come with games. Meddling has been
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: turned into a verb.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but versing would be the verb to verse, and
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: you don't verse someone, you play versus someone being the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Latin words. So I don't have a problem with meddling diarising.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: It's not you know, these are modern words that I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily use a lot myself. But I don't have
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a problem. But I think versing is the verb of verse,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and that is to I don't know, to write poetry
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: about the other team, which I don't think is necessarily
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the path to success either.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: As we know.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Hey, I did just my son played his first
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: ever game of basketball on Saturday.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: He's seventeen.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: He's a water polo player, but decided he just wanted
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to do basketball this summer season. And so I said, well,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I'm coming down because I don't know when I'll get
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to see you play again. And I know he won't
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: mind me saying.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious, like because there are all these kids
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: who've never played before, so they've got no natural sense
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: of the game. And after a while they were you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: they've had a couple of training sessions. Obviously, after a
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: while they sort of they got a sense of what
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: they have to do because it's not hard basketball. Get
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the ball down in the basket. Not one of them
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: could find that ball getting through that. That's a bird
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: basket though. Yeah, it was hilarious ballbucker.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Oh. So he's not really a land animal when it
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: comes to sport.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: No, he's a really good water polo goalkeeper. I don't
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: know whether he will go back to that because it's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: also going to be hot in summer playing basketball, which
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is not the problem when when you're playing water polo.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Water polo. But I saw some.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Kids at their basketball training the other day doing tunnel ball.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Do you remember those those balls? Yeah, tunnel ball, captain ball,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: leader ball, dot doesn't do them, She said she had
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: no idea what it was.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: What's leadable?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: So leadaball is you've got one person standing out the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: front and then the team is in a line lined
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: up behind one another. Captain well, captain ball, they're lined
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: up across. So leadaball you're lined up and there in
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: a straight line. Yeah, but they're lined but that they
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: are perpendicular to the thrower, so you're throwing back and forth.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And captain ball, that's leader and leader ball is they're
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: standing one behind one.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Another and they run another ball. They're all in a
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: lot and the first one ducks down and then the
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: next one and then they duck down and then the
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: next one.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, queens Queensland captain ball very different. Queensland captain
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: ball shoulder what yeah, I never.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Heard of that. Then what do you do to the end?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Christ it's forty years ago.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Do they still run from the end up to the
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: other end? Yeah?
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: You must do?
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, eh, Well we need to we need to
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: get some video footage. You need to do a little
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: captain ball tutorial for us. Yes, our captain ball is
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: you throw to the first person they ducked out. Hey,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: quick question or quick comments, so you know you're talking
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: about basketball. Years ago I played basket. We played in
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: a mixed basketball competition and in our team there was
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Katrina Wagg so she played for the Diamonds in
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: that ninety one World Cup. Mary McCormick, who played in
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the ninety five team, might have been Sharon Hill who
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: played for the Swift So there was a few of
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: us girls who got together and we got my husband
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: and two of his rugby mates to play with us.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: And the rules were that in the first half only
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the women could go in the key and in the
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: second half only the men could go in the key.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: And every other team that we played against the men
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: were all basketball plays, so they would pile on the
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: points in the second half. But with our team, we
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: knew that if we went forty points up at halftime
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: with the ropey playing men in our team, we were
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: going to get pummeled.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: It's the body controls.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: The funniest thing, isn't It's so funny when you see
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: men like who play rugby trying to play basketball on netball.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh, yeah, well, I just don't know that
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: this court's big enough for you.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Well do you remember we played the Swifts played a
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: grade a couple of years for in the off season basketball,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: and we spanked everybody. I can't play basketball for shit,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: But we realized you don't. You can just play netball.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: You don't have to dribble. The dribbling and the running thing.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: We know one got that down pad, but we're just
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: pass the ball. You just passed it. I have we
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: pumped everyone?
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just passed it with poor footwork. That's all we
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: had to do.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: There's no traveling. Yeah that's good.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: It was heaps of fun. But yeah, no, I think
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: I'll stick to social netball now. I played social basketball
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: when I first came up to Ballino, and I don't
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: go very well at basketball the whole.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I never played a game at basketball never. It's just
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. I'm going to pick that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe my heart's got something with it that no one
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: ever thought we need to get this girl on a
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: basketball court. But it was never something at school that
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: was introduced to us.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Or anything like I love it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Played hockey and you know, most other sports, but it
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: was like I guess in Queensland in the nineteen seventies
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and eighties, so that the girls played netball and the
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: boys played basketball or something.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh, I love it until someone comes
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: within three feet and then yeah, exactly, trying to get
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: the ball off, You're like, oh, stop that stops.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I did find that white ching Lewis on the weekend.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: It's like, surely you're not allowed to stop touching him.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. Get out of one another's face.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah they can. They could do whatever they would,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: which I think is funny.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so tip four Wednesday night.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I think Australia, but I think it'll be closer than seventeen.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I reckon seven by seven.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Not seven, but I think definitely closer ten. Okay, I'm
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: think much closer that I don't feel like that's.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: What am I going to do.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I could go straight buy eleven and then anything above
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: that I'm correct, or I.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Could go So is this wheel of fortune rules?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: So do I because I obviously don't want to go
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: in between the two of you, because then I have
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: to be the most accurate.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: So I need to I'll go six and then you
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: can have more room, Liza, seven of everything above that.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go eleven, then straight by eleven.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Well this goes to air obviously a Wednesday,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: So the games tonight. Get your tickets if you haven't
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: got them. People, if you're in Sydney, rock up and
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: buy a ticket because I'm pretty sure there'll be some
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: available at the door. Was out of it?
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: How could you miss this? Like having dodged what it
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: must have been like on Friday? What was the atmosphere
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: like in there?
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: It was unreal, sold out, brilliant and I appreciate to
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Wednesday night could be a bit harder, but we used
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: to never struggle to sell out or get massive crowds
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: in Sydney.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on Sydney siders, but
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: get out there and it's the last chance you get
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to Seeah or else.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Do I send everything to Buddy Brisbane and Adelaide. Come on, Sydney,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: don't win you about not adding events. If we're not
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: going to get out there and support it, I'll be
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: there drinking a can of gin Brak.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: The Dribblers were doing when they said hello to me.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Had some wines like now we had some ginzo.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Fantastic. I usually don't drink on a Wednesday night, but
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I'll make an exception.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: You asked nothing if not brave, Carolyn.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. Well, you know this is I get
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: conflicted Australia in New Zealand playing because I'm a citizen
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: of both. But I'm pretty clear right that I want
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the Diamonds to win this.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Are you still a citizen? Yeah?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Well, and I got my passport renewed a few years ago.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: So remember it COVID kind of eclipsed all of this.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: But remember the Christmas before COVID, how the whole country
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: was on fire for months, and you know, especially down
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the south coast of New South Wales, it was horrendous.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Ohle buddy, it was terrible, And I thought, I wonder
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: if my children are ever going to want to exercise
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: their right to go and live in a country where
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: it's not on fire and there might be some water available.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: So I went through the process then of getting my
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: New Zealand passport renewed and got their citizenship by dissent recognized.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: So if they ever want to stand for Parliament, they'll
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: have to denounce it. But it's like I just thought, look,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I'll just lock that in for you guys, because it's
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: nice to have options, isn't it.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: There's two Keiwis on this podcast.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited to think about my continuation. Catherine, you're
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: not a Kiwi.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: You were born now, I know. I did you never
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: ever admit to that normally, No, but it was only
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: just because.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: You know solidarity. Yeah, yeah, No, I've never lived there.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: So I was born there. Dad was doing his PhD
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in the US at that time, and it was cheaper
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: for mum to fly to New Zealand to have me
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: than deal with because if anything went slightly wrong in
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the US health system, obviously that would have bankrupted them forever.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: So mum was there for a few months with her
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: mum and then flew back to the US. So I've
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: never and then we moved from there to Brisbane. So
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I've spent more of my life in Idaho than i
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: have in New Zealand. But I do love New Zealand.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, we love our Kiwi friends, but we do you know, Catherine,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Catherine did renounce so Kiwi passport due to immense pear
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: pressure from the new South Wales Opens team when she
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: first made it. So really they bullied you out of it?
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, But then when.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I played for Australia too, I had to have an
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Australian passport. Funny that, so I had to become a
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: citizen at that point because I had a Kiwi passport
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: before that.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: You were a citizen until you played net for for Australia.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Well until I wanted to. Yeah, that's really interesting. Okay,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: let's do that.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: But the CAT it's not. It's not like parliament. There's
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: no rule that says if you'd want to play for
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the Diamonds you have to renounce your dual citizenship.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: Isn't there No? But I think you had to, didn't.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: You have to be have an Australian passport when you
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: went to the AIS.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: That was one of the requirements.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like it was only ninety six when we anyhow, Yeah,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure about it, but it got that sorted
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: out around about that time.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I need to know because obviously if I get
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: selected for the Diamonds at any stage, I need to
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: know what my citizenship's status needs to be.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: I think you can I don't know.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't have jewel bow. That might have been okay,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: I was just.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Imagine it must be because we have we have players
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: who were born in other countries and things, and most
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: sports are dealing with that, like there's a you look
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: at rugby, there's Scottish team and the Japanese team. They're
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: full of people who've grown up in Australia and New
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Zealand and the Okay, so all right, we've all put
• 47:24
