Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Four after five. Good morning and welcome along to Early
- 0:14Speaker 2: Breakfast on this Tuesday morning, the 29th day of September.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Sam Datto with you, but our little man, little mate.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Partner in crime. Ned McHenry still on 5AA drive duties
- 0:30Speaker 2: with Timmy G. He's got a couple more days left.
- 0:32Speaker 2: He will be back with us come Thursday morning. But
- 0:36Speaker 2: this morning.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I am all by myself, which means high-fivers, I'm going
- 0:50Speaker 2: to need your help this morning. Tommy will join us
- 0:53Speaker 2: at around about 22, quarter to six this morning, as
- 0:56Speaker 2: per normal. A lot of sport chat going on. But
- 1:00Speaker 2: until then... I need your hand. 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 1:07Speaker 2: And for a cola this morning, I've got a Colac
- 1:10Speaker 2: Port Adelaide $ 50 voucher from the relaxed buzz of bootleg
- 1:14Speaker 2: social with share platters and wood fire pizzas to premium
- 1:18Speaker 2: dining or cocktails and waterfront views upstairs. Colac has everything
- 1:23Speaker 2: for everyone. So 8223 0000, and I'll give you a
- 1:27Speaker 2: Colac Port Adelaide voucher worth $ 50 to a cola this morning.
- 1:31Speaker 2: So jump on the phones. But talking point this morning
- 1:34Speaker 2: is definitely the weather. We are going for a top
- 1:37Speaker 2: of 33 degrees, partly cloudy today. Wednesday, 24 degrees with
- 1:42Speaker 2: a shower or two. Thursday, 21 with some showers. Cools
- 1:46Speaker 2: off over the weekend. Friday, 18. Saturday, 20. Sunday, 21.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But today, 33 degrees, partly cloudy. Jessica Braithwaite from Channel 9.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Yeah, it might come as.
- 1:55Speaker 5: A bit of a shock to the system. Brenton, Adelaide
- 1:57Speaker 5: going up for around 32 degrees and hotter through the
- 2:00Speaker 5: northern suburbs headed for around 33 degrees tomorrow. So that'll
- 2:03Speaker 5: be our hottest day since back in March and looking
- 2:06Speaker 5: to be a warm night tonight too with the temperature
- 2:08Speaker 5: not likely to drop below 19 degrees overnight. Now, this
- 2:13Speaker 5: weather is ahead of what's tipped to be Certainly a
- 2:16Speaker 5: hot end to spring and also above average temperatures tipped
- 2:19Speaker 5: for summer as well. And while more challenging extreme heat
- 2:23Speaker 5: may be on the horizon for now, tomorrow's taste of
- 2:26Speaker 5: warm weather seems to be a welcome feature on the forecast.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I'm pretty excited for it.
- 2:32Speaker 6: I love the warm.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Looking forward to go to Botanical Garden.
- 2:35Speaker 4: It was pretty cool for me.
- 2:36Speaker 7: It's like another summer coming.
- 2:39Speaker 1: So pretty good.
- 2:40Speaker 8: We can come out, just hang around, go for a run.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So it's really good weather.
- 2:47Speaker 5: But I have to warn you, we are in for
- 2:48Speaker 5: a dose of weather whiplash because after the warms tomorrow,
- 2:52Speaker 5: we've got another system coming through Wednesday that's going to
- 2:54Speaker 5: drop the temperatures. It's going to bring showers. It might
- 2:56Speaker 5: even bring storms. So spring is definitely living up to
- 3:00Speaker 5: its reputation of being quite a volatile season, full of surprises.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Jessica Braithwaite there for Nine News. And currently in the city,
- 3:08Speaker 2: it is 22.5 degrees. So it definitely is a warm one.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Out at Noarlunga, 24.4 degrees. What else have we got
- 3:17Speaker 2: around the state? Keith, a bit cooler there. 12 degrees,
- 3:22Speaker 2: Mount Gambier, 15. Port Augusta, 16. Port Pirie, 22. Ceduna, 23.7.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Coober Pedy, 24. Roxby Downs, 20. So it is warmer
- 3:35Speaker 2: across the state. Top of 33 degrees, currently 22.5. It's
- 3:39Speaker 2: the first day we are hitting 30 degrees since May
- 3:43Speaker 2: the 1st. 30 degrees was what we reached on May
- 3:47Speaker 2: the 1st, 151 days ago. So when the temperature gets
- 3:52Speaker 2: above 30, what are we doing? What is the plan
- 3:56Speaker 2: for this warmer weather? Did you break the barbecue out
- 4:00Speaker 2: over the grand final weekend, or is that something you
- 4:03Speaker 2: haven't pulled out just yet? Are the shorts out? There
- 4:05Speaker 2: are a lot of shorts rocking around in the 5AA
- 4:09Speaker 2: offices this morning already. Thongs on the Berks. You might
- 4:13Speaker 2: even head to the beach if you've got a day off.
- 4:15Speaker 2: 33 degrees today. What's in store? Now, there is another
- 4:21Speaker 2: thing that's happening this week to coincide with this lovely weather.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Daylight savings. We get an extra hour of... No, we don't.
- 4:30Speaker 2: We lose an hour of sleep, but we get an
- 4:31Speaker 2: extra hour of daylight come Sunday. I mean, it's all
- 4:34Speaker 2: happening right now, isn't it? We've got a top of
- 4:37Speaker 2: 33 degrees today. Daylight savings about to kick in. A
- 4:39Speaker 2: long weekend coming up this weekend. There's always a lot
- 4:43Speaker 2: of conjecture around daylight savings and the harm that it
- 4:47Speaker 2: might cause to people. Here's our very own Kendall Bredick
- 4:49Speaker 2: in the news yesterday.
- 4:50Speaker 9: Researchers have debunked myths around daylight saving. A Swinburne University
- 4:56Speaker 9: study finding winding the clock back or forward has no
- 4:59Speaker 9: clear and consistent effect on mental health. Study looking at
- 5:03Speaker 9: research from 36 countries.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Daylight savings. Does it hold any angst or does it
- 5:09Speaker 2: make you anxious? Especially when the clocks spring forward, as
- 5:13Speaker 2: Jane Riley used to always say. The clocks spring forward
- 5:15Speaker 2: and they fall back in autumn. 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers are up and about early
- 5:24Speaker 2: as they always are. Good morning, Sam, Tom and Ned,
- 5:29Speaker 2: if you're listening. I hope you're well. I love the
- 5:31Speaker 2: grand final in the afternoon. And when they surveyed the
- 5:34Speaker 2: club support and AFL members... The majority wants it where
- 5:38Speaker 2: it is. Apparently the players also want the amazing tradition
- 5:41Speaker 2: to continue. I hope it stays. There was a huge
- 5:44Speaker 2: 20 cent worth of... I hope it stays. Thank you. Sorry, Mandy,
- 5:48Speaker 2: the Blue Brothers. And she also added, oh, all by yourself.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Everyone help you out. You will be fine. On the heat,
- 5:54Speaker 2: I don't like it at all, especially when there isn't
- 5:57Speaker 2: a gradual climb. The wildlife suffer also. Mandy and those
- 6:01Speaker 2: Blue Brothers. Well, Mandy, it's a good point. A 33-degree
- 6:05Speaker 2: day today after we've been used to low high teens,
- 6:11Speaker 2: low 20s, it's going to come to a bit of
- 6:13Speaker 2: a shock to people. That's for sure. So how are
- 6:16Speaker 2: you going to get by today? 33 degrees on the
- 6:20Speaker 2: 29th of September. Almost feels like it's approaching 40, or
- 6:23Speaker 2: am I just a bit insane? Then Mandy, of course,
- 6:26Speaker 2: we know, is over in Melbourne. Currently 9.7 going for
- 6:29Speaker 2: a top of 24 over there. So I think I
- 6:32Speaker 2: know where I'd want to be this morning. 8223 0000
- 6:35Speaker 2: 044808 1395. Mandy raises a good point also about the
- 6:40Speaker 2: grand final. A lot of conjecture happens every year around
- 6:43Speaker 2: about when it should be staged. I know Tom, Brennan, myself,
- 6:47Speaker 2: we spoke about it a bit yesterday. I'm more on
- 6:50Speaker 2: board now than I ever have been for a twilight
- 6:54Speaker 2: grand final. I don't think you want a nighttime grand final.
- 6:56Speaker 2: You have to wait around too long. The Twilight 445,
- 7:01Speaker 2: 515 has to be the perfect time. You can still
- 7:05Speaker 2: have your barbecue. You can still get on the drinks
- 7:07Speaker 2: a little early. But then when the game wraps up,
- 7:09Speaker 2: there's still a bit more time to power on. Eddie
- 7:12Speaker 2: Maguire is always very, very opinionated, as we know. This
- 7:18Speaker 2: is what Eddie had to say on the Eddie and
- 7:20Speaker 2: Jimmy podcast yesterday after we've had NFL in Australia.
- 7:24Speaker 10: Flurry of text messages. From people in the United States
- 7:30Speaker 10: who had fallen upon our game in the last two
- 7:32Speaker 10: weeks because of the NFL. And I had a major
- 7:34Speaker 10: producer in America saying, how do we get this to LA?
- 7:39Speaker 2: That's a big story. You should have led with that one.
- 7:41Speaker 10: Oh, here we are. And they're going, wow, how good
- 7:44Speaker 10: is this? I had another bloke in New York ring
- 7:47Speaker 10: me saying, what is going on? This Kylie, this is
- 7:50Speaker 10: as good as anything I've ever seen at the Super Bowl.
- 7:53Speaker 10: So suddenly our little game in Australia, which is big
- 7:57Speaker 10: to us, but no one's ever heard of, is being compared.
- 8:00Speaker 10: And people are going, what is this place, Australia? Suddenly
- 8:04Speaker 10: they're saying 100,000, so bigger than any NFL game. And
- 8:07Speaker 10: then they watched a game that just blew their head off.
- 8:09Speaker 10: It's the best game in the world.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Eddie McGuire there. Are we not okay with what we have?
- 8:16Speaker 2: We always, I mean, Port Adelaide took the game to China.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I guess that wasn't so much a chance to expand
- 8:21Speaker 2: the game for more fans, but it was more coverage
- 8:26Speaker 2: and more sponsorship in China. I don't think we're ever
- 8:30Speaker 2: going to see games in China. But the way that
- 8:33Speaker 2: Eddie talks, America is keen now, supposedly, to get some
- 8:37Speaker 2: AFL over there. Should we always be really thinking that
- 8:41Speaker 2: we need to expand what we have in Australia or
- 8:43Speaker 2: just be happy with what we have here? Would you
- 8:45Speaker 2: like to see games in the States? Whether it be exhibition,
- 8:49Speaker 2: whether it be for points, just like we did in China,
- 8:52Speaker 2: it makes it harder in America than it does for
- 8:56Speaker 2: NFL to come to Australia because there aren't any grounds
- 9:00Speaker 2: that are large to take the game. We know the
- 9:04Speaker 2: MCG was adopted to hold that match between the two
- 9:08Speaker 2: NFL sides a couple of weeks ago, but all the
- 9:10Speaker 2: stadiums over in the States are all rectangle. So it
- 9:14Speaker 2: would have to be a logistical nightmare. Are we going
- 9:16Speaker 2: to play a game in a baseball stadium? Would that
- 9:18Speaker 2: even be big enough? I know Shane Warne and Sachin
- 9:21Speaker 2: Tendulkar many years ago tried a T20 comp when they
- 9:24Speaker 2: used Yankee Stadium and a bunch of baseball stadiums. But
- 9:27Speaker 2: do we always need to be thinking of expansion when
- 9:30Speaker 2: it comes to Australian products? Yes, I know if you
- 9:33Speaker 2: don't evolve, you can die. But at the same time,
- 9:36Speaker 2: 100,023 people at the AFL Grand Final on the weekend,
- 9:40Speaker 2: a couple of cracking prelims the week before. Should we
- 9:44Speaker 2: just be content with what we have? 8223 0000. Let's
- 9:47Speaker 2: head out to Salisbury. Gary, good morning.
- 9:49Speaker 11: Yeah, I reckon the 12-hour ground final would be good.
- 9:52Speaker 11: But in America, they're starting to actually, cricket's starting to
- 9:54Speaker 11: take off. So you give it maybe five, ten years,
- 9:57Speaker 11: we might actually have proper cricket slash grounds we can
- 10:02Speaker 11: play AFL on.
- 10:05Speaker 2: What sort of teams, though? Are we going to be
- 10:08Speaker 2: playing a United States cricket side, or what, though, Gary?
- 10:10Speaker 11: No, no, there's a domestic league, which Steve Smith's involved
- 10:14Speaker 11: in at the moment, the 2020 league, and.
- 10:17Speaker 8: Basically, when he retires.
- 10:19Speaker 11: That's going to be his passion, is to build the
- 10:22Speaker 11: American Cricket League. He's going to remember they did compete
- 10:24Speaker 11: in the last World Cup.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Yes.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And I know Steve Smith spends a lot of.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Time over in New York.
- 10:28Speaker 11: Well, I could talk him five, ten years away, but,
- 10:30Speaker 11: you know, you never know.
- 10:32Speaker 2: What do you think about seeing some AFL over in
- 10:34Speaker 2: the States?
- 10:34Speaker 11: Well, that's my whole point. Like, yeah, if we can
- 10:36Speaker 11: build cricket grounds, we can play AFL on, can't we?
- 10:40Speaker 2: Fair enough.
- 10:41Speaker 11: Might only be 40,000, 50,000 people, but, you know, it
- 10:43Speaker 11: works for the rugby league.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Does work for rugby league. Do you like.
- 10:47Speaker 11: Go on. Sorry, after you.
- 10:49Speaker 2: No, go on, mate.
- 10:51Speaker 11: I forgot what I was going to say now, but yeah.
- 10:54Speaker 11: It would work. I mean, the telecast into the AFL
- 10:57Speaker 11: for our times is not really, you know, conducive to
- 11:01Speaker 11: their viewing when we play the games, but instead it
- 11:04Speaker 11: worked for Rugby League.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Do you like seeing Rugby head over to Vegas every year?
- 11:09Speaker 11: Oh, it's unbelievable, isn't it? It's like the Americans just
- 11:12Speaker 11: take it on They just, like, love it. You know,
- 11:15Speaker 11: they love Australians. So, you never know. Could wait for
- 11:19Speaker 11: AFL in maybe 10 years' time.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Thank you, Gary. What are your thoughts on daylight savings, mate?
- 11:26Speaker 11: It goes for too long. I like the idea you
- 11:28Speaker 11: guys were talking about the other week that it was
- 11:29Speaker 11: meant to be so places could stay open longer during the,
- 11:32Speaker 11: you know, summer, but it doesn't need to go for
- 11:35Speaker 11: six months.
- 11:36Speaker 7: Fair enough.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Thank you, Gary. You have a good morning, mate.
- 11:38Speaker 11: You too.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Now, if I'm not mistaken, daylight saving was... Wasn't it
- 11:42Speaker 2: for a four-month period back in the day, and then
- 11:44Speaker 2: we did expand it about 10, 12 years ago? Daylight Savings,
- 11:49Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Who's going to... I mean, at least we've
- 11:52Speaker 2: got the long weekend. For those who are lucky enough
- 11:54Speaker 2: not to have to work over the long weekend, we
- 11:56Speaker 2: do have the long weekend to recoup up that full-hour
- 11:59Speaker 2: sleep that we lose, but it does knock you around.
- 12:02Speaker 2: But at the same time, it is... Quite a feeling
- 12:05Speaker 2: when it turns the other way and you get that
- 12:06Speaker 2: extra hour's sleep. Ange on the text line, cannot wait
- 12:10Speaker 2: for daylight savings. Good morning. Have a great day. Thank you, Ange.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Mick with a new nickname. I don't know how that's
- 12:16Speaker 2: going to go. The Datanator. Might leave that one there, Mick.
- 12:21Speaker 2: The barbecue never gets put away in Happy Valley. I
- 12:24Speaker 2: reckon being school holidays, the kids will hit Seacliff for
- 12:27Speaker 2: a swim at the beach. Thank you, Mick. Kathy, saw
- 12:30Speaker 2: this on my bike ride home yesterday morning on Linear
- 12:33Speaker 2: Park near Windsor Gardens Caravan Park. Had to brake suddenly.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Noisy miners were making alarm calls and they alerted me.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Keep your eyes open. And it's a big brownie crossing
- 12:43Speaker 2: the path in front of her. I know we've spoken
- 12:47Speaker 2: about snakes often on early breakfast and not a lot
- 12:49Speaker 2: of people want to chat about them, but is there
- 12:52Speaker 2: anything more terrifying than seeing a snake in your path
- 12:55Speaker 2: on a bike ride? I know my dad rides his
- 12:57Speaker 2: bike quite often and he was starting to say that
- 13:00Speaker 2: he saw a snake or two a couple of weeks ago.
- 13:02Speaker 2: So do keep your eyes peeled. We had a bit
- 13:04Speaker 2: of a snake chat on breakfast last week as well.
- 13:08Speaker 2: It's that time of the year. They're going to be
- 13:09Speaker 2: out in force. Mick, Sammy, the custom-built cricket oval in
- 13:13Speaker 2: Texas is there. Interesting. Peter in Woodville West. About 10
- 13:17Speaker 2: years ago, Richard Branson was at a Friday night game
- 13:19Speaker 2: at the MCG. He raved about the game and was
- 13:22Speaker 2: a huge fan. Said it didn't start like the US game. Well,
- 13:26Speaker 2: that's the thing with the NFL. It's such a spectacle.
- 13:28Speaker 2: It's everything you can expect with America.
- 13:31Speaker 12: It's big.
- 13:32Speaker 2: It's brash. It's loud. But, jeez, it goes on forever.
- 13:36Speaker 2: And there's not a whole heap of play. It's so stop-starty.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Jump on the phones. 8223 0000 044808 1395. Got that
- 13:45Speaker 2: Colac Port Adelaide restaurant voucher to give away worth $ 50
- 13:48Speaker 2: before 6 o'clock. Want to hear from you?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 13:55Speaker 2: 21.5 on this Tuesday morning. The sun is definitely on
- 14:05Speaker 2: its way. Top of 33 degrees today. Didn't cool down
- 14:08Speaker 2: too much last night. We've gone up a bit as well. 22.6.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Those mornings are getting bright. Sun will be up shortly,
- 14:16Speaker 2: but don't get too used to it because obviously on Sunday,
- 14:19Speaker 2: those clocks will go forward an hour. Those dark, dark
- 14:23Speaker 2: mornings will be back. The high fivers will be in
- 14:25Speaker 2: the dark. Let's head out to Semaphore. Debbie, good morning
- 14:28Speaker 2: to you on this Tuesday morning.
- 14:30Speaker 6: Good morning, Sam.
- 14:31Speaker 12: Yes, it is.
- 14:32Speaker 6: Getting quite warm. You might be running around like a
- 14:36Speaker 6: headless chook being Ned, not being there.
- 14:38Speaker 4: I know.
- 14:38Speaker 2: He's pretty selfish. He's getting sleep-ins. He's on a nice
- 14:42Speaker 2: little time slot with Timmy G, but he'll be back.
- 14:45Speaker 8: Oh, that's good.
- 14:45Speaker 4: That's good.
- 14:46Speaker 6: But you're pretty good yourself. Now, I am originally a
- 14:49Speaker 6: Queensland person, and I do not like daylight savings.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Tell me why.
- 14:58Speaker 6: Well, I did embrace it last year. I have been
- 15:01Speaker 6: here since like 2019. I did embrace it last year
- 15:04Speaker 6: because I kind of was just getting too wound up
- 15:06Speaker 6: with about daylight savings. And the reason why is because
- 15:11Speaker 6: I like to wake up with the sounds of the
- 15:14Speaker 6: birds or the birds start to chirp or, you know,
- 15:17Speaker 6: or movements start to happen in their community or whatever,
- 15:22Speaker 6: where now it's going to go back an hour and
- 15:26Speaker 6: but I'm still getting up at the same time because
- 15:29Speaker 6: the time's been forward an hour, but I'm not going
- 15:32Speaker 6: to be waking up with the birds or movement, mouses
- 15:37Speaker 6: walking around your house or something.
- 15:39Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I've often thought about that
- 15:41Speaker 2: because obviously we follow daylight savings, but at the same time,
- 15:44Speaker 2: the birds don't. Those people on the farms, the animals
- 15:48Speaker 2: don't know what the concept of daylight savings is. How
- 15:50Speaker 2: does that work for everyone else?
- 15:52Speaker 6: Yeah, it goes with the sun, I assume. But because,
- 15:56Speaker 6: you know, in Queensland or Brisbane, I mean, the sun
- 15:58Speaker 6: was up like 4.30 in the morning. So, you know,
- 16:02Speaker 6: like even though I said don't like Dave, I say like, Dave,
- 16:05Speaker 6: I reckon Queensland should have it because the sun's up
- 16:09Speaker 6: at 4.30 in the morning where, you know, what is
- 16:12Speaker 6: it at the moment? 5.23. you know, the sun's just
- 16:16Speaker 6: coming up just nicely. So, you know, say 5.30-ish, quarter
- 16:21Speaker 6: to six, the sun's up, and that's a reasonable time
- 16:24Speaker 6: to get up. And even when summer starts to come
- 16:28Speaker 6: a bit more, it might be more like, say, five,
- 16:31Speaker 6: quarter past five in the sun, and that's a bit
- 16:33Speaker 6: reasonable time to get up as opposed to now, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 6: the sun's going to be dark or there's going to
- 16:40Speaker 6: be no sun.
- 16:41Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You said you moved here back in 2019. What brought
- 16:45Speaker 2: you to South Australia, Deb?
- 16:47Speaker 6: Mainly work, but I have lived in Melbourne and stuff.
- 16:51Speaker 6: I've moved around all around the country, the east side.
- 16:54Speaker 6: But I must admit, like, I think Adelaide's a little
- 16:59Speaker 6: hidden secret. Not so hidden anymore because.
- 17:01Speaker 2: You're not just saying that, are you? No, no, seriously.
- 17:05Speaker 6: I reckon that, yes, he's the dude. You know, I
- 17:07Speaker 6: love the... I know I was here during COVID time,
- 17:10Speaker 6: you know, like, or just when COVID got started. But,
- 17:12Speaker 6: you know, then when COVID was, you know, kind of
- 17:15Speaker 6: coming to an end, you know, the state was just
- 17:18Speaker 6: coming to a live. And, yeah, I mean, yeah, you
- 17:21Speaker 6: might have the Gold Coast or the beaches and the weather.
- 17:24Speaker 6: Humidity in Brisbane is just insane. But, yeah, I think
- 17:30Speaker 6: Adelaide's a hidden little secret, but unfortunately everyone seems to
- 17:34Speaker 6: want to come here.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Where'd you grow up then, Deb?
- 17:38Speaker 5: Where?
- 17:38Speaker 11: Brisbane.
- 17:39Speaker 13: I was mainly Brisbane.
- 17:40Speaker 2: So no real pull to go back home at some stage?
- 17:43Speaker 2: You're happy here?
- 17:44Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, definitely happy here.
- 17:45Speaker 12: My husband's from here, his family.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Smart man.
- 17:48Speaker 8: I've got my.
- 17:48Speaker 12: Mum in Brisbane, but I don't see her. But, yeah,
- 17:52Speaker 12: I mean, I had a friend that's visited just recently
- 17:55Speaker 12: for a weekend. She's there from Canberra. So she's all
- 17:58Speaker 12: over the place as well. And, yeah, I don't think–
- 18:02Speaker 12: we were the handoff. So I haven't been the handoff
- 18:04Speaker 12: in ages. And I think it's actually quite fantastic now.
- 18:09Speaker 12: I had a bit more, you know, a bit more.
- 18:13Speaker 13: Better stuff around the shops and the food was great.
- 18:18Speaker 14: That was great.
- 18:19Speaker 13: It was all Germany kind of feel.
- 18:22Speaker 8: Well, not germs, but German.
- 18:24Speaker 2: What time of day did you go? Because Hindorff cops
- 18:26Speaker 2: a bit of flack for that busy main road.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, we went a Sunday.
- 18:30Speaker 13: So it was only like a couple of, I'd say
- 18:32Speaker 13: about a month ago. And that's what we thought. I'd
- 18:36Speaker 13: normally like to go up and down the main street
- 18:38Speaker 13: to have a little sticky beat what's going around.
- 18:40Speaker 6: So my husband goes, no.
- 18:41Speaker 12: We've got to turn, you know, before the township to
- 18:44Speaker 12: get a park. And we got a Casanza Park, I
- 18:47Speaker 12: tell you.
- 18:49Speaker 13: And then we started from the bottom, obviously, because that's
- 18:51Speaker 13: where we were. Walked all the way up, went to
- 18:54Speaker 13: some of the really nice shops. looked at what German
- 18:57Speaker 13: pub to have our sausage, walked on the other side
- 19:00Speaker 13: to have ice cream, walked home. We didn't get there
- 19:03Speaker 13: until probably about lunchtime, and four hours, five.
- 19:07Speaker 6: Hours, it was really, really good.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Thank you, Deb.
- 19:10Speaker 4: You have a good morning.
- 19:11Speaker 6: Thanks for the chat, Sam. Bye.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Debbie in Semaphore. I tell you, the Harndorf Bakery at
- 19:16Speaker 2: the top end of town on the right-hand side, it
- 19:18Speaker 2: is one of the best, best, probably my favourite bakery
- 19:22Speaker 2: in the hills when I come to think of it.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Some very good pasties there. Let's head out to One
- 19:26Speaker 2: Tree Hill. Brad, good morning to you.
- 19:28Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning, Sam. You're talking about the AFL in
- 19:33Speaker 8: America before. Is that right, Chris? Yep. I reckon it'd
- 19:39Speaker 8: be a great opportunity to showcase our great game on bias,
- 19:45Speaker 8: because I love it. And one of the reasons I
- 19:48Speaker 8: say that, because I've done a fair bit of travelling
- 19:50Speaker 8: overseas in America and whatever 2015 I was in New
- 19:55Speaker 8: York and because the Yanks know nothing about Australia all
- 19:59Speaker 8: they know is that everything here kills you and they'd
- 20:03Speaker 8: like to come here but they don't want to get
- 20:04Speaker 8: killed the other thing is that 2015 in New York
- 20:10Speaker 8: headline news come up. Headline from Australia. I thought, bloody hell,
- 20:16Speaker 8: this must be huge. Because you hear nothing about outside
- 20:20Speaker 8: of America, nothing about Australia. And yes, in Tasmania, They
- 20:26Speaker 8: found a sheep that hadn't been shorn for 11 years.
- 20:29Speaker 8: There was the headline news. So I reckon it would
- 20:32Speaker 8: be a great opportunity to showcase our great country and
- 20:36Speaker 8: our great game.
- 20:37Speaker 2: So you think it would be just as a good
- 20:40Speaker 2: enough reason to do it, not so much to grow
- 20:42Speaker 2: the game, but also to grow tourism in Australia?
- 20:46Speaker 8: Oh, both. All the above.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Then we might see more players like Mason Cox come
- 20:51Speaker 2: out of here. It could work two ways as well.
- 20:53Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. I'd like to see some players come here,
- 20:56Speaker 8: not another Mason Cox. He annoys me.
- 20:58Speaker 2: I'm with you there, Brad.
- 21:01Speaker 7: Saving.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yep.
- 21:04Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not used to it now. It doesn't bother me.
- 21:09Speaker 8: Just get used to it.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Do you think it goes too long, though?
- 21:13Speaker 8: Towards the end, it starts to wear a bit thin,
- 21:15Speaker 8: but you just wear it. That's the way it is.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Yep.
- 21:19Speaker 7: Like it or lump it.
- 21:20Speaker 8: Yeah, like it or lump it. Yeah.
- 21:22Speaker 2: What's on the agenda this morning, Brad?
- 21:26Speaker 8: I'm fixing up an old single-cylinder diesel engine.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Well, that's something you can do on a 33-degree day.
- 21:31Speaker 8: Oh, I've got a big shed.
- 21:33Speaker 11: It's not too bad.
- 21:35Speaker 2: What's the engine out of?
- 21:36Speaker 8: It's a bit warm, but that's the way it is.
- 21:40Speaker 2: What's the engine out of? What are you doing it
- 21:42Speaker 2: up for?
- 21:44Speaker 8: It's a 90-year-old Worcester engine. It's a CS. It's six horsepower.
- 21:52Speaker 8: And I've gradually got all the parts over the years,
- 21:54Speaker 8: and I'm just putting it all back together. And I
- 21:56Speaker 8: collect old single-cylinder diesel engines, and that's my hobby. I
- 22:02Speaker 8: just like reconditioning, repair, and I'm just sitting there and
- 22:07Speaker 8: watching them flop around.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Fair enough. Thank you, Brad.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Have a good morning.
- 22:11Speaker 8: Yeah, same to you, Sam.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Cheers, Brad. Head out to Blakeview.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Julie, good morning.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Good morning, Sammy.
- 22:16Speaker 15: How are you?
- 22:17Speaker 2: Still better than you, it sounds, Jules.
- 22:19Speaker 14: Yeah, she's still struggling a bit, Sam.
- 22:23Speaker 2: So you're not taking the doctor's orders of not talking?
- 22:26Speaker 14: Well, I tried that all last week and it still
- 22:31Speaker 14: hasn't solved the problem. No, I think just over the
- 22:36Speaker 14: years it's damaged some vocal cords. I'm a bit like Rowie,
- 22:39Speaker 14: I guess. Yeah, it's just taken a little while. There's
- 22:43Speaker 14: time to clear up, but not bad enough that I
- 22:47Speaker 14: can't ring you, Sammy.
- 22:48Speaker 2: What's on your mind this morning, Jules?
- 22:50Speaker 14: Don't like daylight savings.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Not at all?
- 22:52Speaker 12: Nope.
- 22:53Speaker 14: Don't like summer.
- 22:54Speaker 2: What's the reasoning? Too hot?
- 22:56Speaker 14: Yeah, I hate the heat.
- 22:57Speaker 2: So you're more of a winter girl?
- 22:59Speaker 14: Oh, yeah, I love the winter.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Don't know about that.
- 23:02Speaker 14: Love the winter. You know, you have the air conditioner
- 23:05Speaker 14: going all day in the summer, so I don't like it.
- 23:08Speaker 14: And I do not understand why you have an extra
- 23:12Speaker 14: hour of daylight when it's 44 degrees. And I just
- 23:16Speaker 14: never understand that.
- 23:18Speaker 11: No football.
- 23:20Speaker 14: Luckily, I love the cricket, the basketball, and the A-League,
- 23:24Speaker 14: so I'm okay for sport, I guess, but I have
- 23:27Speaker 14: a bit of a gap between, like I said to
- 23:33Speaker 14: Mike the other day, six months before I've got any footy,
- 23:36Speaker 14: so that's a bit of a downer. And obviously, my
- 23:40Speaker 14: worst fear, snakes.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Yes, I'm with you with the snakes. Not a fan
- 23:45Speaker 2: of the snakes when it gets warmer.
- 23:47Speaker 14: So there's three very good reasons not to like summer.
- 23:53Speaker 14: And then when I hear about that lady riding her
- 23:55Speaker 14: bike and, you know, six foot and brown slithers across
- 23:59Speaker 14: in front of her, that really doesn't do a lot for.
- 24:02Speaker 11: Me at all.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Yes, that was Cathy on the text line yesterday morning,
- 24:06Speaker 2: Linear Park near Windsor Gardens. And the picture isn't too good.
- 24:11Speaker 14: Oh, I can't even look at the pictures. I'm like
- 24:13Speaker 14: your mum. Remember you said about your mum, Sam?
- 24:15Speaker 2: Yeah, she's terrified of snakes.
- 24:18Speaker 14: Yeah, but I'm exactly the same, as I've said before
- 24:21Speaker 14: to you and Ned. And, yeah, as soon as the
- 24:24Speaker 14: sun comes out, and I said to Mark last week, oh, God,
- 24:27Speaker 14: snake season. And it doesn't bother him. He has no
- 24:31Speaker 14: fear of them.
- 24:31Speaker 3: But, yeah, it's me.
- 24:33Speaker 14: And, of course, instantly we get some warm water, warm
- 24:38Speaker 14: weather that... goes into my head immediately. So I don't know.
- 24:44Speaker 4: I just don't.
- 24:45Speaker 14: I mean, I know we have to have them. They're
- 24:46Speaker 14: here for a purpose, but I just wish they would
- 24:50Speaker 14: not be here for a purpose.
- 24:51Speaker 2: So then what's your idea? If you're not a fan
- 24:53Speaker 2: of summer, if you're not a fan of daylight savings,
- 24:55Speaker 2: in my mind, one of the perfect things you can
- 24:57Speaker 2: do is on a warm summer's evening, a couple of
- 25:00Speaker 2: mates around in a beer garden or a backyard, crack
- 25:03Speaker 2: open a beer and have the cricket on. What's your
- 25:05Speaker 2: idea of a good day then if you're a winter person?
- 25:11Speaker 14: Well, as you know, I do love the cricket, so
- 25:15Speaker 14: I'm very happy to sit and watch the cricket, whatever
- 25:19Speaker 14: form it may be. So, yes, I'll sit and watch
- 25:22Speaker 14: the cricket, preferably inside in the air conditioning. My perfect
- 25:33Speaker 14: temperature all year round would be like about 20 degrees.
- 25:36Speaker 14: I'd be quite happy with that.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Two golds.
- 25:39Speaker 14: Because I'm not a beach person. I don't like the beach. No,
- 25:44Speaker 14: I just don't like summer, Sam. I've never liked summer.
- 25:48Speaker 14: I've always liked the cold. I don't feel the cold.
- 25:53Speaker 14: And it's just my preferred time of year. And I
- 25:56Speaker 14: just cannot understand why you have an extra hour of
- 26:00Speaker 14: sun on it when it's 44 degrees. You want the
- 26:02Speaker 14: goddamn sun to go.
- 26:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Thank you, Julie. Each to their own. I'll agree to
- 26:08Speaker 2: disagree with you on that one, but I've got to
- 26:10Speaker 2: keep moving because the cold's coming in. Gary in Collinswood,
- 26:12Speaker 2: good morning. Good morning.
- 26:14Speaker 8: I hope Julie gets better.
- 26:16Speaker 7: Yeah, she doesn't sound too good there.
- 26:17Speaker 2: She warmed up a bit then. Towards the end of
- 26:19Speaker 2: that chat, her voice seemed to be a bit better.
- 26:21Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 26:22Speaker 7: Look, it's different people.
- 26:24Speaker 8: Julie likes the winter, and that's fine.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Yep.
- 26:27Speaker 7: I prefer the summer.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Tell me why, Gary. Tell me why.
- 26:30Speaker 7: I work outside, right?
- 26:32Speaker 1: Yep.
- 26:33Speaker 7: So I start at 6.30 in the morning. I finish
- 26:36Speaker 7: at 2.30, and then I get home, and I'm out
- 26:39Speaker 7: of the heat. Instead of starting, you know, 8 o'clock,
- 26:43Speaker 7: working to 5 o'clock or whatever. So for me, in
- 26:45Speaker 7: that respect, in the wintertime, for me, it's like 5 o'clock,
- 26:48Speaker 7: it's dark, it's cold, it's wet. Like you said, Sam,
- 26:52Speaker 7: you can get out, have a barbie late if you want. Yeah,
- 26:55Speaker 7: I don't like it 44 degrees. You know, around, like,
- 26:59Speaker 7: 31 for me is good. The big thing about it, Sam,
- 27:02Speaker 7: is at night, I don't mind if it's, Look, if it's, say,
- 27:05Speaker 7: 38 during the day, how long is it, say, you know,
- 27:09Speaker 7: 15 or 16 at night? When it gets to, like,
- 27:11Speaker 7: 31 or 32 at night, overnight, well, then it does
- 27:15Speaker 7: get a bit hard. The other thing, just other quickly, Brad,
- 27:18Speaker 7: he made me laugh about it when he said the
- 27:20Speaker 7: Americans don't like coming here because they're worried about, you know,
- 27:23Speaker 7: being killed by snakes and that. Well, New York has
- 27:27Speaker 7: got one of the biggest crime murder rates going around,
- 27:29Speaker 7: so if a snake doesn't get you, you get stabbed
- 27:32Speaker 7: or shot over there, so... Yeah.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather trust my luck against a snake than
- 27:38Speaker 2: someone carrying a handgun, that's for sure.
- 27:40Speaker 6: Gary?
- 27:40Speaker 2: Well, just quickly, the.
- 27:42Speaker 7: Snakes where I work, we had brown snakes all over
- 27:44Speaker 7: the place, because if you're correct, they were snout-walking heights.
- 27:48Speaker 7: But I've seen maybe 10 or 20 snakes, but it's
- 27:52Speaker 7: not like in the movies, seeing where a snake sees
- 27:54Speaker 7: and they come attacking you.
- 27:56Speaker 16: They run away. Anyway, you'll get bitten if you try
- 27:59Speaker 16: and pick them. pick one up, or you step on one.
- 28:03Speaker 16: Just leave them alone and they'll just go away most
- 28:05Speaker 16: of the time. It's just like everything, just give it
- 28:08Speaker 16: a wide berth. I don't really like snakes, but I
- 28:11Speaker 16: just give them a wide berth.
- 28:12Speaker 7: Julie, I hope you get better and you'll be able
- 28:15Speaker 7: to barrack for against butters next year. It's going to
- 28:19Speaker 7: be interesting. Butts has gone to Bulldogs too, so yeah,
- 28:22Speaker 7: they're going to be.
- 28:24Speaker 7: And why get Paddler?
- 28:26Speaker 2: Luke Paddler might be heading to Port Adelaide. We saw that.
- 28:28Speaker 2: We'll chat all that with Tommy Ren in about another
- 28:30Speaker 2: 10 or so minutes. Gary, thank you for your call.
- 28:33Speaker 7: No worries.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Enjoy the warm weather.
- 28:35Speaker 6: Bye.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Well done, Gary. Sue and Sally, hang on. We're going
- 28:38Speaker 2: to take a real quick break. It's 25 minutes to 6.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Keep the calls coming.
- 28:41Speaker 11: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 28:41Speaker 2: That $ 50 Colac Port Adelaide restaurant voucher to give away
- 28:44Speaker 2: before 6 o'clock. So jump on the lines.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 28:56Speaker 2: 20 minutes to 6 on this Tuesday morning. The sun
- 29:04Speaker 2: is just poking up behind the Adelaide Hills. Looking like
- 29:09Speaker 2: an absolutely cracking day. Top of 33 degrees. Currently 22.7.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Tommy Wren in just a second. Sue, you've been hanging
- 29:16Speaker 2: on very patiently. Good morning to you.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Yeah, morning, Sam. Yeah, I just woke up. I was
- 29:20Speaker 3: listening to everyone talking about summer and daylight saving. I
- 29:24Speaker 3: hate daylight saving.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Another one.
- 29:26Speaker 3: No, well, you know, I have to get up really
- 29:28Speaker 3: early three days a week, and at the moment I'm
- 29:31Speaker 3: really enjoying the daylight and, you know, not having to
- 29:35Speaker 3: walk around with a torch. And I loathe summer. lives
- 29:40Speaker 3: up here in the hills or the country, we hate summer.
- 29:44Speaker 3: We have bushfires. We have water shortages. You're forever having
- 29:49Speaker 3: to pump water to your livestock to try and keep
- 29:53Speaker 3: the water up to them. I have no air conditioning,
- 29:56Speaker 3: so I only have a fan, so I hate the heat.
- 29:59Speaker 3: I do not look forward to summer. I dread it.
- 30:01Speaker 3: And every day is a worry. But, you know, what's
- 30:05Speaker 3: the weather going to do? It's very stressful and I
- 30:10Speaker 3: can't wait for autumn. I just do not like summer.
- 30:13Speaker 3: You know, you're always looking over your shoulder and hoping
- 30:17Speaker 3: you get through, you know, each day safely because it's
- 30:21Speaker 3: the most dangerous time of the year up here and
- 30:23Speaker 3: we don't like it and you have to buy water in.
- 30:26Speaker 3: We're not on mains. So every drop of water is
- 30:30Speaker 3: precious and, yeah, it's very stressful and I do not
- 30:33Speaker 3: like summer.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Thank you, Sue. I appreciate your thoughts there. Summer isn't
- 30:38Speaker 2: for everyone. Sally in Hillcrest, good morning.
- 30:40Speaker 17: Good morning, Sammy.
- 30:41Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
- 30:44Speaker 17: I don't like summer for the heat. I love summer
- 30:47Speaker 17: because it's cricket season.
- 30:48Speaker 2: That's right, yep.
- 30:50Speaker 17: And it also means by the time cricket finishes because, like,
- 30:54Speaker 17: the local league starts, 10th of October, so we're almost
- 30:58Speaker 17: cricket time already. When cricket finishes at six, quarter past six,
- 31:06Speaker 17: you've got time to come home, have dinner with the
- 31:09Speaker 17: family outside or take the family out somewhere or if
- 31:12Speaker 17: you've got an event at the cricket club, got time
- 31:15Speaker 17: to play a scratch match of cricket after a full
- 31:18Speaker 17: game of cricket with juniors and everything just to have fun.
- 31:22Speaker 17: It's that time where you can just chill and relax
- 31:25Speaker 17: and You're outside having fun and spending time with friends
- 31:31Speaker 17: and family.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Sally, we've chatted about your love of cricket and all
- 31:35Speaker 2: the scoring that you do and the volunteering at the
- 31:37Speaker 2: local club. Where did the love of cricket for you
- 31:38Speaker 2: come from?
- 31:42Speaker 17: When I was a teenager, my dad played cricket and
- 31:44Speaker 17: I hated it. And we were dragged along every Saturday
- 31:49Speaker 17: and made to sit there the whole time he played.
- 31:53Speaker 17: And mum scored and mum started teaching me how to score.
- 31:59Speaker 17: And once I started scoring, I understood a lot more
- 32:03Speaker 17: about cricket. It was a lot more than just people
- 32:05Speaker 17: hitting a ball and running. I understood what it was
- 32:08Speaker 17: all about. And yeah, my love of cricket has been
- 32:11Speaker 17: there ever since.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well done, Sally. Thank you for that. A lot of
- 32:15Speaker 2: people not loving daylight saving or summer as much as
- 32:18Speaker 2: I thought they would, but a man I think would
- 32:21Speaker 2: get around summer and daylight savings is our very own...
- 32:24Speaker 2: The latest in sports with Tom Rand.
- 32:26Speaker 7: Sorry.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I love it. I like the extra hour.
- 32:30Speaker 18: Look, I'm a bit with the listeners in the sense
- 32:32Speaker 18: that that extreme heat, I find it harder and harder
- 32:35Speaker 18: to deal with when it's really hot. I don't love,
- 32:38Speaker 18: you know, 38 to 45-degree days.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Well, if you believe the punters and the experts in
- 32:43Speaker 2: the field, it looks like we might be in store
- 32:45Speaker 2: for a very, very hot summer.
- 32:48Speaker 4: It's looking that way, isn't it? Yeah, the long-term forecast.
- 32:50Speaker 4: That said.
- 32:51Speaker 2: I mean, the long-term forecast is one thing, but they
- 32:54Speaker 2: predicted 28 degrees on Saturday for grand final day, and
- 32:56Speaker 2: it was blowing a gale on top of 20. Exactly.
- 32:58Speaker 4: I wouldn't be taking.
- 33:00Speaker 2: We love the people at the Weather Bureau, though.
- 33:01Speaker 10: Yes.
- 33:01Speaker 2: We appreciate everything you do.
- 33:02Speaker 18: They do a great job, but... There haven't been a
- 33:05Speaker 18: lot that have been right over the journey, have.
- 33:07Speaker 4: There, recently?
- 33:08Speaker 6: No.
- 33:08Speaker 18: So, yeah, I like the extra hour, but I also understand,
- 33:12Speaker 18: I think the older you get, it does get harder
- 33:15Speaker 18: to deal with that extreme heat. It can be really taxing.
- 33:19Speaker 18: It takes, it saps your energy.
- 33:21Speaker 2: And that's, in saying that, a 33 degree day when
- 33:23Speaker 2: we're used to 20 feels a lot warmer than 33.
- 33:25Speaker 2: It does, doesn't it?
- 33:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels a lot warmer, Sammy.
- 33:28Speaker 18: So, I get both sides, but I, look, overall, yeah,
- 33:31Speaker 18: I think I'm a fan of summer, and a fan
- 33:33Speaker 18: of the extra daylight saving.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Now, in sport, a lot going on, but I wanted
- 33:37Speaker 2: to start locally here. Our man, he's on the sports
- 33:40Speaker 2: show right now. We know Luke Pedler has requested a
- 33:43Speaker 2: trade to Port Adelaide from the Adelaide Crows. This is
- 33:45Speaker 2: what our man on drive last night had to say. Oh,
- 33:48Speaker 2: I'm shocked.
- 33:49Speaker 15: I said to Leith, we were punching on, you know,
- 33:52Speaker 15: with each other at the Ramsgate, you know, a short
- 33:54Speaker 15: time ago, and now we're trying to join each other, Timmy.
- 33:56Speaker 4: It's amazing, isn't it?
- 33:57Speaker 15: Huge conversation, this Luke Pedler trade. I know, you know,
- 34:00Speaker 15: to some listeners or some fans, they might be thinking, well,
- 34:03Speaker 15: you know, he's in the best 22 when fit or
- 34:05Speaker 15: around about the marks, but he has the attributes and
- 34:08Speaker 15: the athleticism to be a real kind of line-breaking game winner, Timmy.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Midfielder.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Midfield forward.
- 34:15Speaker 2: And he struggled to get that time.
- 34:16Speaker 4: Exactly, and hence I said midfield forward, not forward midfield.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Yeah, not the other way around.
- 34:21Speaker 15: You know, 70-30, I think he's got the capacity to
- 34:23Speaker 15: break tackles, break lines, kick goals from the midfield, and
- 34:26Speaker 15: that's the type of player that the Adelaide Crows fan
- 34:29Speaker 15: base have been dying out for.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Nettie McHenry on drive last night. This is
- 34:34Speaker 2: the best time to have a go at him because
- 34:35Speaker 2: he can't go back. So do you agree with him
- 34:37Speaker 2: or disagree? Yeah, I do think he's got that potential.
- 34:39Speaker 2: He's only played 49 games, I think 10 this season,
- 34:42Speaker 2: just gone. He's been a frustrating player because he hasn't
- 34:46Speaker 2: been able to get his body right, and some of that,
- 34:48Speaker 2: or a lot.
- 34:48Speaker 18: Of that, isn't under his control. It's either a bit
- 34:52Speaker 18: of luck, all of that kind of stuff. He just
- 34:55Speaker 18: needs a really good run at it. If he can
- 34:57Speaker 18: have a couple of years where He gets his body
- 34:59Speaker 18: in shape and plays really well and gets a huge
- 35:03Speaker 18: base behind him. He can be that player that Ned
- 35:06Speaker 18: talks about. He is a line-breaking player. He's got a
- 35:09Speaker 18: beautiful shape about him in the sense that he's a
- 35:11Speaker 18: powerful build.
- 35:12Speaker 4: He's big.
- 35:13Speaker 18: But like this year, for example, there were a couple
- 35:15Speaker 18: of times where he'd play a game in the sandfall
- 35:17Speaker 18: and then he'd come straight back in from an injury
- 35:19Speaker 18: and then his hamstring would blow up again.
- 35:21Speaker 6: So.
- 35:22Speaker 18: It's been frustrating for Crows fans, so I can definitely feel...
- 35:26Speaker 18: I think a lot of Crows fans recognise that he's
- 35:28Speaker 18: also got that potential, but unfortunately, it just hasn't been
- 35:32Speaker 18: able to play out.
- 35:34Speaker 4: I think for.
- 35:35Speaker 18: Port, it's a good opportunity. If they can get him
- 35:37Speaker 18: for a reasonably good price, I think he's worth.
- 35:40Speaker 4: Taking a punt on.
- 35:41Speaker 18: And maybe it's a change of environment that's going to
- 35:44Speaker 18: make the penny drop for him.
- 35:45Speaker 2: I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Wouldn't it just
- 35:47Speaker 2: be the Crows' luck that they trade him out and
- 35:50Speaker 2: he becomes the player that they always wanted. I mean,
- 35:52Speaker 2: I'll take it as a Port fan.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Yeah, and that can happen.
- 35:55Speaker 18: He's the eighth player, if it ends up, indeed, going
- 35:59Speaker 18: down that path, and it's on the back page today.
- 36:00Speaker 18: Eighth player in history that would have played across the
- 36:03Speaker 18: two clubs. We haven't seen that many.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Recently, Rory Atkins. Yeah, Rory Atkins is the most recent one. Exactly, Sammy.
- 36:10Speaker 18: And he had a bit of a stint in between.
- 36:12Speaker 18: He was a Gold Coast. But for those wondering this morning,
- 36:15Speaker 18: they're all listed out. David Brown, Ian Downsborough. Brett Chalmers,
- 36:20Speaker 18: Matthew Bode, Brad Symes, Billy Frampton, and Rory Atkins, who
- 36:23Speaker 18: you touch on. So David Brown was a really good
- 36:26Speaker 18: player with the Maggies, won a few flags. Um, but
- 36:30Speaker 18: outside of that, like not huge names there. Matty Bode,
- 36:33Speaker 18: I think still doing some running. I reckon he's working
- 36:35Speaker 18: at Carlton. I think, um, you know, he was a
- 36:38Speaker 18: solid player. Brett Chalmers, great sample player as well. Um,
- 36:42Speaker 18: but no absolute household names in amongst that lot. He
- 36:47Speaker 18: can be a really good player. So look, sometimes it's
- 36:50Speaker 18: a change of environment for a player that makes them
- 36:54Speaker 18: realise that they need to take this second and final chance.
- 36:57Speaker 18: So let's hope that that's the case if this trade
- 36:59Speaker 18: does indeed go ahead. But I like what I see
- 37:02Speaker 18: from Luke.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Petler when he plays. He just needs to play more.
- 37:05Speaker 4: In terms of other footy news, Sammy, John Longmire, he's
- 37:08Speaker 4: off to Essendon.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Big news.
- 37:09Speaker 18: So that's a a good appointment, I think. They need
- 37:12Speaker 18: a bit of stability. First-time coach. Now, Mark McVay's been
- 37:15Speaker 18: around for a long time, so he's going to be okay,
- 37:18Speaker 18: I think, anyway. But the fact that he's going to
- 37:20Speaker 18: have someone with him as a right-hand man who's been there,
- 37:24Speaker 18: done that, been in the system for 20, 25 years,
- 37:27Speaker 18: and he's got enormous respect in John Longmire, and been
- 37:30Speaker 18: out of the game for a little bit too, Sammy,
- 37:32Speaker 18: I think that's probably important just to take stock and
- 37:35Speaker 18: sort of see things through a different lens and you know,
- 37:39Speaker 18: look a bit more holistically at things. I think it's
- 37:41Speaker 18: a great appointment. So he's got to be the director
- 37:44Speaker 18: of performance. I guess, you know, football operations, oversee the
- 37:48Speaker 18: whole thing. Probably a bit like a Neil Balm type role,
- 37:51Speaker 18: but maybe a bit more hands-on. So that's a really
- 37:55Speaker 18: good appointment, I think, for Essendon and for Mark McVeigh.
- 37:59Speaker 18: They need to get things right there. It's been a
- 38:01Speaker 18: long time since the Bombers have been any good.
- 38:03Speaker 4: So I reckon that's a good one.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Anything else we need to know about on this Tuesday morning, Tommy?
- 38:07Speaker 18: Well, we're still a week out from trade period officially beginning, but,
- 38:11Speaker 18: you know, it's starting to move up.
- 38:12Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 38:13Speaker 18: It's all starting to boil up now. Given that the
- 38:16Speaker 18: season's over, Chris Fagan, that's the only other major story.
- 38:20Speaker 18: We heard his mum.
- 38:21Speaker 4: That was pretty funny.
- 38:22Speaker 18: I thought yesterday Bev say he needs to retire. You know,
- 38:25Speaker 18: he's done it all. He said that yesterday.
- 38:29Speaker 2: I know a lot of the interviews that we've seen
- 38:31Speaker 2: of Chris Fagan since the grand final would involve probably,
- 38:34Speaker 2: a few drinks and some not so full.
- 38:38Speaker 18: Night's sleep, but he's looking buggered. He's 65. He's been
- 38:42Speaker 18: in the game for a long time. I remember he
- 38:43Speaker 18: was at Hawthorne as, you know, an assistant there for
- 38:46Speaker 18: a long time. And so huge success. They always go
- 38:49Speaker 18: deep in finals and he's been at Brisbane there for
- 38:51Speaker 18: a decade. So they've made four grand finals in a row.
- 38:53Speaker 18: They've obviously won three in a row, but it's a grind.
- 38:56Speaker 18: It takes it out of you.
- 38:57Speaker 4: And I mean, like his mum said, he'd be going
- 39:00Speaker 4: out on top.
- 39:02Speaker 2: It's a fairy tale.
- 39:03Speaker 4: It's a fairy tale.
- 39:03Speaker 18: If he did go out, and went one more year
- 39:06Speaker 18: and say they only finished sixth or something next year
- 39:09Speaker 18: seventh it's still going to be an all-time great career
- 39:12Speaker 18: but does he want to put himself through that stress
- 39:14Speaker 18: and i think that's what he's weighing up now if
- 39:15Speaker 18: you've got to do it you have to be boots
- 39:18Speaker 18: and all you have to be every day phone calls
- 39:21Speaker 18: parents families all of that so if you're not fully
- 39:24Speaker 18: committed the players they work it out pretty quickly i.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Feel like he's got one year to run on his
- 39:29Speaker 2: contract if you're the grand final this year, it would
- 39:31Speaker 2: have been an easier decision to go around and try
- 39:33Speaker 2: for one more. Because you've done three, Pete. There's only
- 39:35Speaker 2: been three this century. And the other one was with
- 39:38Speaker 2: your own footy club. What have you got to prove?
- 39:41Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 39:41Speaker 2: You've got nothing to prove.
- 39:42Speaker 18: You've got nothing to prove. And the difference between three
- 39:45Speaker 18: and four, but maybe there's that carrot. He says, well,
- 39:48Speaker 18: no one's done four. why don't I become the first one?
- 39:51Speaker 18: So how much of that is driving him? How much
- 39:54Speaker 18: of the players saying, you know, Chris, we really want
- 39:56Speaker 18: you to push on. Only he can answer that, but
- 39:59Speaker 18: he'll come to that decision. I would think in the
- 40:01Speaker 18: next few days, because they need to start planning. We
- 40:04Speaker 18: spoke about it a little bit yesterday. It would be
- 40:06Speaker 18: a highly sought after job if he was to step away.
- 40:10Speaker 18: And it's his decision to make, clearly. So that's probably
- 40:13Speaker 18: the major thing. Only other little bit of news, I guess,
- 40:15Speaker 18: around Sammy is cricket. Final one-dayer is tomorrow night, Australia-South Africa.
- 40:21Speaker 18: Most attention, though, is all on the Test Series. And
- 40:24Speaker 18: the Socceroos, they play tonight against Brazil in Brisbane. One-all
- 40:28Speaker 18: draw when they played on Friday night in Townsville. So
- 40:32Speaker 18: another opportunity for the Socceroos to show their stuff against
- 40:35Speaker 18: one of the world powerhouse sites.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Quick question for you, Tommy, on news reading.
- 40:38Speaker 6: Yes.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I watched the excellent product that was Nine
- 40:41Speaker 2: News last night and saw yourself there with Brenton Ruggles.
- 40:44Speaker 2: The interludes, the little chats between Brenton throwing to you,
- 40:49Speaker 2: do you ever prep what you're going to say? Because
- 40:51Speaker 2: I've got a question for you.
- 40:52Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Last night, Brenton and Nine did an excellent package on
- 40:57Speaker 2: the statewide blackout.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Ten years ago, and state plunged into darkness. We saw
- 41:01Speaker 2: the footage. He then throws to you. And you give
- 41:04Speaker 2: out the expert line, and I'm going to paraphrase because
- 41:07Speaker 2: I can't quite remember it, but it was in relation
- 41:09Speaker 2: to Luke Pedler. Oh, and the club being in the
- 41:12Speaker 2: dark or something? And he hasn't left the club in
- 41:14Speaker 2: the dark. And you lingered on dark, and I thought
- 41:17Speaker 2: you were pretty happy with your own gear on that one.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Was that pre-planned or in the moment?
- 41:21Speaker 4: No, that was scripted.
- 41:23Speaker 12: Okay.
- 41:23Speaker 4: So we knew that we were coming off the blackout.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:26Speaker 4: And I thought because of the story, I'll emphasize that word.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Did make me giggle.
- 41:30Speaker 4: A little bit more.
- 41:30Speaker 17: Okay.
- 41:31Speaker 18: And generally, I think the best interactions you don't script
- 41:36Speaker 18: because it's a bit more natural. But sometimes you might say, oh, hey,
- 41:40Speaker 18: like last week I said, look, I'll ask you for
- 41:43Speaker 18: your tip and your Norm Smith. And Raggy, Alice Monfries,
- 41:49Speaker 18: for example, who I think I did it at four o'clock,
- 41:51Speaker 18: she'd be like, yeah, no stress.
- 41:52Speaker 4: Whereas Raggy... Raggy, why don't you say Fremantle and Luke Jackson?
- 41:56Speaker 4: So Raggy's.
- 41:57Speaker 2: So don't out him.
- 41:58Speaker 4: Yeah. He's not bad. He would have been fine. But
- 42:01Speaker 4: I said.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Not on the spot with sport.
- 42:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:05Speaker 18: I gave him a couple of suggestions. Or I said
- 42:06Speaker 18: you can go Brisbane and Zach. So then he said.
- 42:08Speaker 4: Fremantle and Luke Jackson. So I gave him a couple
- 42:11Speaker 4: of options. I said, who do you think will win?
- 42:13Speaker 4: He said, oh, Fremantle. And I said, okay, well, look,
- 42:15Speaker 4: I said, I do too. I said, I'm going to
- 42:17Speaker 4: go Hayden Young. And I said. you could go like
- 42:19Speaker 4: Jackson if you want or anywhere.
- 42:21Speaker 6: Yep.
- 42:22Speaker 4: That's, you know, so I said he's Ruckman.
- 42:23Speaker 18: So I will sometimes prompt or if we're coming off something,
- 42:27Speaker 18: but he's very good on a thing. I prefer it
- 42:32Speaker 18: when you don't have to script it because then it's
- 42:34Speaker 18: a bit more natural, but it depends if you're just starting.
- 42:37Speaker 18: So if I'm starting with someone that's just beginning some
- 42:40Speaker 18: reading at four o'clock, I might, we might just do
- 42:42Speaker 18: a little bit of, Hey, why don't we talk about
- 42:44Speaker 18: this just so that, you know, they're not, caught in
- 42:48Speaker 18: the moment because they're so worried about reading the next intro.
- 42:50Speaker 2: There's a little glimpse for you behind nine, just lift the.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Curtain of nine years.
- 42:53Speaker 18: Yeah, and it's probably different for a lot of different people,
- 42:56Speaker 18: but the longer you're in it, the more you sort
- 42:58Speaker 18: of think, well, you know, if I get caught, I'll just.
- 43:01Speaker 4: Laugh and move on.
- 43:03Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Well done, Randy. Thank you.
- 43:05Speaker 6: Good on you.
- 43:05Speaker 7: Thanks, Abby.
- 43:06Speaker 2: We're going to do another quick break. We'll wrap up shortly.
- 43:08Speaker 2: 5AA Breakfast, Stace and Jono, coming up after 6 o'clock.
- 43:11Speaker 2: But time for a call or two before then. 8223 0000.
- 43:14Speaker 2: It's going to be 33 degrees today. Daylight savings not
- 43:17Speaker 2: far away. The sun is poking up behind the Adelaide Hills.
- 43:20Speaker 2: We're in store for a cracker. What do you want
- 43:22Speaker 2: to do on a 33-degree day?
- 43:24Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 43:33Speaker 2: We certainly are walking on sunshine across Adelaide this morning.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Top of 33 degrees, currently 23.1 in the city. The
- 43:41Speaker 2: actual temp, 19.6. So we're in store for a cracking,
- 43:45Speaker 2: cracking day. A couple of texts before we round out
- 43:47Speaker 2: early breakfast this morning. 391, good morning. I live in
- 43:51Speaker 2: Harndorf and absolutely love summer and daylight savings. It is
- 43:55Speaker 2: so beautiful up here. Michelle, hi, Sam. I dislike daylight
- 43:59Speaker 2: savings because I feel it messes with my body clock.
- 44:01Speaker 2: plus i find it too long i like summer when
- 44:04Speaker 2: the temperature is between 25 and 30 another one jim
- 44:08Speaker 2: hi guys will port finish higher than the crows as
- 44:10Speaker 2: a crows fan i'm nervous it's gonna be an interesting
- 44:13Speaker 2: year in 2027 i think jim anything can happen anything
- 44:16Speaker 2: can happen i have been surprised with the amount of
- 44:19Speaker 2: people who aren't all in favor for daylight savings i'll
- 44:23Speaker 2: meet you in the middle i do think it goes
- 44:24Speaker 2: a little bit too long i think the four month
- 44:27Speaker 2: stretch of daylight savings is a lot more understandable and
- 44:30Speaker 2: better to handle than the six months but at the
- 44:32Speaker 2: same time we've got cracking weather here in Adelaide as
- 44:35Speaker 2: we've said all morning 33 degrees today so keep cool
- 44:38Speaker 2: you might want to break out the shorts plenty of
- 44:41Speaker 2: shorts so far this morning in the 5AA office I
- 44:45Speaker 2: mean Tom Wren That man's always wearing shorts no matter
- 44:47Speaker 2: what the temperature. He's just a crazy, crazy man. But anyway,
- 44:50Speaker 2: it's time for me to get out of here. Stick around.
- 44:52Speaker 2: It is 5AA Breakfast with Stacey Lee and Jono Edwards
- 44:55Speaker 2: coming up after 6 o'clock. But for now, we're going
- 44:58Speaker 2: to head over to the newsroom with the very latest
- 45:00Speaker 2: in the news with Kendall Bredick and Tom Wren. I'll
- 45:04Speaker 2: join you tomorrow morning from 5. At this stage, I
- 45:07Speaker 2: have a special guest host. Not going to allude any
- 45:11Speaker 2: more than that. Catch you tomorrow morning from 5.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
- 45:18Speaker 8: 5AA Early Breakfast.
