- 0:13Speaker 2: Welcome along to Early Breakfast. Jump on the phones, get
- 0:16Speaker 2: involved with the program. 8223 0000 044808 1395. Going for
- 0:23Speaker 2: a rip snorter today, Nettie. 21 degrees and sunny. Saturday,
- 0:28Speaker 2: 24 degrees, mostly sunny. Sunday, 22 with some showers.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Cooling off a bit.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Next week, 19 and a shower or two. Tuesday, 18,
- 0:36Speaker 2: partly cloudy. Currently in the city, though, it's the coolest
- 0:40Speaker 2: it's been this week, I feel.
- 0:41Speaker 4: 6.8 degrees.
- 0:43Speaker 5: Morning, Ned.
- 0:44Speaker 6: Good morning, Sam. Good morning, high-fivers.
- 0:46Speaker 7: Just straight off the top, I just want to address
- 0:48Speaker 7: some news regarding my health. It's obviously been a little
- 0:54Speaker 7: bit reported, and I think it's important that the listeners know,
- 0:58Speaker 7: and I really love the 5AA high-fiving family, so just
- 1:02Speaker 7: need to get this right off the top. I've got
- 1:04Speaker 7: finals fever. I've been diagnosed with a strong case of
- 1:10Speaker 7: finals fever, 5AA. Are you high-fiving legends? Can you believe it?
- 1:16Speaker 7: Adelaide Crows play in a final to get into a prelim.
- 1:20Speaker 8: Wow.
- 1:21Speaker 6: I am pumped. So we'll take your calls on that.
- 1:23Speaker 6: It's going to be a footy Friday, I reckon. Jump
- 1:25Speaker 6: on the phones. And lots more to talk about, Sammy.
- 1:28Speaker 6: Great intro.
- 1:28Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Well, we might as well start then, Eddie.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Whenever we get to Fridays, everyone's probably thinking of a
- 1:35Speaker 2: weekend trip away, road trips. Do you think a road
- 1:38Speaker 2: trip to Brisbane's too far, though, for a finals match?
- 1:41Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:42Speaker 7: Why don't you snuggle up on the telly, grab a blankie,
- 1:46Speaker 7: grab some loved ones, have a couple of nibblies, maybe
- 1:49Speaker 7: a glass of Bickford's.
- 1:50Speaker 3: We love a glass of Bickford's.
- 1:52Speaker 6: And watch it on your telly.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Well, some Crows fans, some Fanatic fans are doing the
- 1:57Speaker 2: pilgrimage process.
- 1:58Speaker 3: By road. New sunrise this morning.
- 2:00Speaker 9: While Melbourne fixates on their NFL match, Crows fans have
- 2:04Speaker 9: one game on their mind. They are gearing up for
- 2:06Speaker 9: Saturday's blockbuster against Brisbane. Footy Faithfuls will fly out of
- 2:10Speaker 9: Adelaide this morning while others are making the long drive
- 2:13Speaker 9: north as airfare soar in price. It comes as Crows
- 2:17Speaker 9: captain Jordan Dawson opens up about his most challenging game
- 2:21Speaker 9: at the gather, his emotional return to footy after the
- 2:25Speaker 9: tragic loss of his brother Jared.
- 2:27Speaker 2: So everything's happening this weekend. Brisbane, 6.30. The coverage starts
- 2:32Speaker 2: here on 5AA tomorrow night. Will Goodings, Tom Wren, Scott Camparelli,
- 2:37Speaker 2: Stephen Rowe. Should be a hell of a night of football.
- 2:40Speaker 7: It's going to be an absolute hoot. Can the Crows
- 2:43Speaker 7: win it? What do they need to do? I thought
- 2:45Speaker 7: the decision was brave from Matthew Nix to bring Zach
- 2:47Speaker 7: Taylor in and Isaac Cumming obviously misses out. as reported
- 2:53Speaker 7: on 5AA Early Breakfast yesterday, for anyone listening.
- 2:57Speaker 6: I think that was a brave move.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Changing a winning side.
- 3:01Speaker 6: I actually didn't think he'd do it, but a brave decision.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Do you think it's the correct decision, or you'll wait
- 3:07Speaker 2: until Saturday night to see if it was the correct decision?
- 3:09Speaker 7: I think Zach Taylor gives them a little bit of class.
- 3:11Speaker 7: He's a good decision maker. He's a good little player.
- 3:13Speaker 7: So it's going to be a massive game. Brisbane are
- 3:16Speaker 7: very good at controlling the ball. So they're a high
- 3:19Speaker 7: uncontested mark team, and they'll take risk. So they'll take
- 3:22Speaker 7: the one on in the corridor. When the game's not
- 3:24Speaker 7: going their way, they will take risk. So it's going
- 3:26Speaker 7: to be all about the Adelaide Crows' ability to shut
- 3:29Speaker 7: down those marks.
- 3:29Speaker 6: And have some composure on turnover and pressure them.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Andrew on the text line. Morning, boys.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Neddy, do you reckon Adelaide matches up with Brizzy? They
- 3:37Speaker 2: have won its last five games against the Crows at
- 3:41Speaker 2: the Gabba. Does that even matter?
- 3:42Speaker 6: Yeah, the Gabba's a hard ground to go up and
- 3:44Speaker 6: win at, Andrew.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Historically.
- 3:46Speaker 6: Well, it's just that.
- 3:47Speaker 3: What's the differences of it?
- 3:48Speaker 2: Because everyone knows Adelaide, everyone knows the MCG, but what's
- 3:53Speaker 2: the difference with the Gabba?
- 3:53Speaker 6: Well, it's the same as a team coming and playing
- 3:55Speaker 6: the Crows at home.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Is it smaller?
- 3:58Speaker 6: The Gabba.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I don't remember.
- 4:00Speaker 6: It being overly small. It's not a great ground service.
- 4:02Speaker 7: I think it's just when you have to travel and
- 4:05Speaker 7: your opposition is staying in their own home and then
- 4:07Speaker 7: opposition fans in a final, it's actually a really good question.
- 4:11Speaker 2: This is also why, sorry to butt in, but you've
- 4:15Speaker 2: just really piqued my interest on the annoyance here. Why
- 4:19Speaker 2: don't we force Victorian sides to stay in a hotel?
- 4:24Speaker 2: At least it's just so crap that we all have
- 4:27Speaker 2: to travel to Melbourne.
- 4:28Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's arguments for both because half of
- 4:32Speaker 7: the year we, and I say we because I'm a
- 4:34Speaker 7: Crows man, you'd be poor, we have opposition teams coming
- 4:38Speaker 7: over here to stay in hotel rooms, so that's a
- 4:40Speaker 7: huge advantage for us. Whereas their argument may be, well,
- 4:42Speaker 7: if Collingwood play Richmond and it's Collingwood's home game, Richmond
- 4:46Speaker 7: aren't staying in hotels, so they don't get that really
- 4:48Speaker 7: specific home.
- 4:49Speaker 3: We can both stay in hotels that week.
- 4:51Speaker 6: But you're not going to do that.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Why not? But why not? But why would you?
- 4:55Speaker 7: What advantage does the AFL get out of that apart
- 4:57Speaker 7: from paying for more accommodation?
- 4:58Speaker 3: Oh, if they've got enough money, they can do it.
- 5:00Speaker 7: But all it is is just fixing something, a problem
- 5:03Speaker 7: from spiteful interstate fans.
- 5:05Speaker 3: And what's wrong with that?
- 5:06Speaker 8: A lot.
- 5:07Speaker 7: It makes no sense.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Peter.
- 5:09Speaker 7: Sorry.
- 5:10Speaker 6: 8223 0000.
- 5:10Speaker 3: This is really interesting.
- 5:14Speaker 7: What is it about a home ground advantage that makes
- 5:18Speaker 7: it so difficult to go over and win? So is
- 5:20Speaker 7: it the fans?
- 5:21Speaker 3: It has to be. I would say a lot of
- 5:23Speaker 3: it to do is the fans.
- 5:24Speaker 6: The crowd and the fans?
- 5:25Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 7: Is it staying away from home? Is it, you know,
- 5:29Speaker 7: different ground sizes and surfaces?
- 5:31Speaker 3: Well, I'll put this back onto you.
- 5:32Speaker 6: Climate as well. That's a big one.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Brisbane's a big one for climate.
- 5:35Speaker 6: Climate is a really big one.
- 5:36Speaker 3: When it comes to a.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Home ground advantage or going to an away ground, When
- 5:41Speaker 2: you're on the ground, you hear about... I mean, you
- 5:44Speaker 2: watch the Michael Jordan documentaries and all these, and they
- 5:46Speaker 2: shut out the crowd noise.
- 5:48Speaker 3: They're in a flow state. They're playing the game. Do
- 5:50Speaker 3: you hear the crowd?
- 5:52Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 2: So when there's a momentum run from a home side,
- 5:56Speaker 2: does that impact how you play, or is it more subconsciously,
- 6:00Speaker 2: or you're just hearing it?
- 6:01Speaker 4: Because.
- 6:02Speaker 2: When a team's out of it, the crowd shuts up.
- 6:05Speaker 2: But when there's a sniff that they're coming back, they
- 6:08Speaker 2: start firing up.
- 6:09Speaker 6: Of course you do.
- 6:10Speaker 2: So how does it impact you on the ground?
- 6:13Speaker 7: Well, you do hear it and you can get caught
- 6:16Speaker 7: up in the momentum of a game, but you become
- 6:18Speaker 7: quite acclimatized to it as an AFL footballer.
- 6:20Speaker 6: Like you don't get caught up in it.
- 6:22Speaker 7: But mark my words, if Charlie Cameron kicks two or
- 6:25Speaker 7: three early goals and he's got Country Road song going
- 6:27Speaker 7: on and everyone's singing along and the gab is shaking.
- 6:30Speaker 9: Yep.
- 6:31Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not exactly the same as being at Adelaide Oval.
- 6:34Speaker 3: That's for sure.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Stephen on the text line, one of the greatest. He
- 6:38Speaker 2: loves his stat, old Stephen, and he's dug up through
- 6:41Speaker 2: the AFL tables. Ned McHenry's record at the Gabba. Played two,
- 6:46Speaker 2: lost two, averaged 11.5 possessions a game.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Let me tell you something, Stephen.
- 6:50Speaker 7: At that ground, I played crap. I remember two games
- 6:54Speaker 7: I played there, both of them were awful.
- 6:56Speaker 6: Peter from Marlston, hello.
- 6:58Speaker 11: Hello.
- 7:00Speaker 12: Hello. Now, I want to thank everyone who came to
- 7:04Speaker 12: the Cremorne. We had an average turnout, but we had
- 7:08Speaker 12: a lovely table of effervescence and festivity, and the food
- 7:14Speaker 12: was delicious. And Father Joan came along, and this will
- 7:18Speaker 12: interest our listeners. Instead of giving me alcohol, she gave
- 7:22Speaker 12: me Naked Life Pink Paloma, a non-alcoholic cocktail.
- 7:27Speaker 6: Well, that's good.
- 7:29Speaker 7: Peter, how many people were there and who was there?
- 7:31Speaker 6: What was the crew?
- 7:31Speaker 12: Twelve, but we had a $ 25 voucher. And the next
- 7:38Speaker 12: dinner will be Christmas, and we're expecting all of you
- 7:40Speaker 12: guys there, including Melanie Usher. And it'll be at the
- 7:44Speaker 12: Cremorne on Thursday, December the 10th. And our next get-together
- 7:50Speaker 12: will be at Cafe Palazzo in North Adelaide on Thursday,
- 7:54Speaker 12: the 8th of October. which is after daylight.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Well done, Peter.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Quickly before you go, mate, it's becoming a staple of
- 8:02Speaker 2: early breakfast, Ned and Peter's footy tips. Sturt and Woodville
- 8:06Speaker 2: West Torrens on the weekend, Sunday at Adelaide Oval, live
- 8:09Speaker 2: on 5AA from 3pm.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Who's got the win?
- 8:14Speaker 12: Well, being in Unley yesterday, I wouldn't dare chip against
- 8:19Speaker 12: a Sturt by 30 points. Brilliant conditions. Brilliant coach, brilliant captain,
- 8:25Speaker 12: brilliant midfield. We will struggle a bit in defence, but
- 8:28Speaker 12: I think Sturt. And I also think that the Crows
- 8:31Speaker 12: might get closer than people think in Brisbane. Maybe not
- 8:35Speaker 12: a win, but maybe a very competitive game. I'm tipping
- 8:39Speaker 12: Brisbane by 19 points.
- 8:41Speaker 2: I didn't even ask him for an AFL tip, but
- 8:43Speaker 2: that's the service Peter provides.
- 8:44Speaker 6: He's smoking me in those sample tips. I think he's
- 8:47Speaker 6: two up.
- 8:47Speaker 3: You'd be going for third as well, wouldn't you?
- 8:49Speaker 1: No.
- 8:50Speaker 7: I saw Sam Jacobs yesterday. Actually caught up with him
- 8:53Speaker 7: very briefly. He's a good man. He was talking about
- 8:56Speaker 7: the game. He's looking forward to it.
- 8:58Speaker 6: I think they might ruffle a few feathers.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Who's going to win?
- 9:02Speaker 6: Oh, well, don't hurry me up.
- 9:03Speaker 7: If I want to kind of expand on seeing the
- 9:05Speaker 7: coach of one of the teams we're talking about yesterday,
- 9:07Speaker 7: I will.
- 9:08Speaker 6: Seriously, don't you hurry me up, mate, or I'll hurry
- 9:10Speaker 6: you up. I think Sturt will win.
- 9:14Speaker 7: Sturt will win, but you expect those eagles to just
- 9:17Speaker 7: ruffle a few eastern suburb feathers.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Ned's tipped Sturt, so I'd be loading up on Woodville
- 9:22Speaker 3: West Torrance.
- 9:23Speaker 6: Hey, I'm an ordinary tipper, aren't I?
- 9:26Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers on the text line. Good morning,
- 9:29Speaker 2: Ned and Sam. I hope you're both well. Footy tonight
- 9:32Speaker 2: will be interesting. All the talk is about the Adelaide
- 9:35Speaker 2: has lost up there. Generally, that means they will win. Mandy,
- 9:38Speaker 2: the Blue Brothers, have a great show.
- 9:39Speaker 6: Mandy, can you say hi to those Blue Brothers for me?
- 9:42Speaker 7: And also, 8223 0000, give us a call. Talk about
- 9:45Speaker 7: the footy, talk about whatever you like, talk about what
- 9:47Speaker 7: you're up to, what you're doing for the weekend. 8223 0000.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Mike from Parahills, Bugger the Vix, go home ASAP FIFO.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Okay, I think he's probably talking about the whole Sleeping arrangements?
- 9:59Speaker 3: And travelling to Victoria.
- 10:00Speaker 13: Sure.
- 10:01Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 10:02Speaker 7: Gary at Salisbury.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Morning, Gary.
- 10:05Speaker 7: You acted on my request. Good morning.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Just a call out to Dean and Jess Steele. You
- 10:11Speaker 4: might have seen them on Seven News the other night.
- 10:13Speaker 4: They've driven up to Brisbane, left Wednesday, Tony Caravan with
- 10:17Speaker 4: three boys under 10.
- 10:19Speaker 6: That's a huge effort.
- 10:21Speaker 4: They've been to every Crows game and they've got to
- 10:23Speaker 4: know the team quite well. So they're actually going to
- 10:25Speaker 4: be helping with the banner. When the Crows run out,
- 10:31Speaker 4: they'll line up on the side when the players run out.
- 10:34Speaker 11: That's excellent.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Would you do that, Gary?
- 10:35Speaker 7: Would you road trip up to Brisbane for something like that?
- 10:40Speaker 4: Only if the Hawks were playing.
- 10:43Speaker 7: Well, I think you might have to go to Melbourne.
- 10:44Speaker 7: I think the Hawks could easily make a grand final, Gary.
- 10:46Speaker 7: I really believe that.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said the other week, if they can
- 10:52Speaker 4: get past Brisbane, I reckon they can beat Hawthorne, but
- 10:56Speaker 4: you never know on the day or the last weekend.
- 10:58Speaker 3: You never know what could happen in a prelim.
- 11:00Speaker 7: No, the Adelaide Crows will not beat Brisbane, unfortunately, but
- 11:04Speaker 7: they will be very competitive.
- 11:05Speaker 6: It will be a good game, but Brisbane will be
- 11:07Speaker 6: too good.
- 11:08Speaker 2: See, I'd be saying that as well, but as a
- 11:10Speaker 2: Port fan, whatever I say about a Crows result is
- 11:13Speaker 2: just being picked as cynicism, but I'm glad someone else
- 11:16Speaker 2: agreed with me.
- 11:17Speaker 6: I just don't think they'll be good enough to beat Brisbane.
- 11:19Speaker 2: It's a 2,001-kilometre drive to Brisbane, 21 hours and 40
- 11:21Speaker 2: minutes by car.
- 11:26Speaker 6: That's amazing.
- 11:27Speaker 3: That's some serious dedication.
- 11:28Speaker 2: If you're heading up to watch a three-hour footy match
- 11:32Speaker 2: at the Gabba Saturday night, boy, that's.
- 11:36Speaker 3: A big one.
- 11:37Speaker 6: 21 hours, and then you've got to turn around and
- 11:38Speaker 6: come back.
- 11:39Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Two days in a car.
- 11:41Speaker 7: Oh, you go through Dubbo and all that good country
- 11:43Speaker 7: through there.
- 11:44Speaker 3: You're going through there.
- 11:45Speaker 2: You might as well stop off in Bathurst, do a
- 11:47Speaker 2: lap of the track. It's just not footy and finals
- 11:51Speaker 2: footy that people are getting engrossed with.
- 11:54Speaker 3: NFL.
- 11:55Speaker 2: The NFL has taken over Melbourne as a city. And
- 12:00Speaker 2: I would love to have seen what would happen if
- 12:02Speaker 2: there was supposed to be a MCG final this weekend
- 12:04Speaker 2: for the AFL.
- 12:05Speaker 3: But they're lucky. They lucked out with that. Here is
- 12:08Speaker 3: the build-up on Sunrise.
- 12:09Speaker 9: Brisbane could be next in line to host an NFL game.
- 12:12Speaker 9: The success of the MCG showdown could see a spectacle
- 12:16Speaker 9: head to Queensland as a test event ahead of the
- 12:19Speaker 9: 2032 Olympics. The NFL has games locked in for Victoria
- 12:23Speaker 9: through to 2029, opening the door for Brisbane in 2030
- 12:28Speaker 9: and 2031. But an NFL game in the Sunshine State
- 12:31Speaker 9: could be contingent on flag football remaining an Olympic sport
- 12:35Speaker 9: after its debut at the Los Angeles Olympics.
- 12:38Speaker 3: In 2028 so.
- 12:38Speaker 2: As we build up to the nfl playing a points
- 12:42Speaker 2: game on the mcg queensland's already wanting a bite of
- 12:46Speaker 2: the action now south australia is definitely becoming one of
- 12:50Speaker 2: the more sporting states in australia live golf gather round
- 12:55Speaker 2: motorsport moto gp should our premier be going after an
- 13:00Speaker 2: nfl game well.
- 13:01Speaker 7: Is it should or will Because he will. Do you
- 13:05Speaker 7: really think he would let an opportunity like that pass?
- 13:08Speaker 6: Absolutely not.
- 13:09Speaker 7: There is no doubt it would already be in the
- 13:12Speaker 7: back of that Malinaskis mind already.
- 13:14Speaker 6: But whether it's the right opportunity for Adelaide, I'm not sure.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Well, high-fivers, would you want an NFL game here? Because
- 13:22Speaker 2: I feel like with NFL, it's sort of got a
- 13:24Speaker 2: cult following in Australia. You either love it or you
- 13:27Speaker 2: just can't be bothered with it.
- 13:29Speaker 6: The issue is, I mean.
- 13:31Speaker 7: The MCG's getting 95,000 people there.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Where would we host it? Adelaide Oval, obviously.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:37Speaker 7: Well, but yeah, what's the capacity of Adelaide Oval compared to.
- 13:40Speaker 3: 53,515, I think.
- 13:41Speaker 7: Yeah, so you'd argue that it's almost 50% of what
- 13:45Speaker 7: Melbourne is doing from an attendance perspective. As a spectacle,
- 13:48Speaker 7: I don't think America would be that stoked.
- 13:51Speaker 6: About that attendance. Not that we're trying to.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Oh, sorry, here in Adelaide.
- 13:54Speaker 6: Here in Adelaide.
- 13:54Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 13:55Speaker 2: But this is the thing. A lot of their stadiums
- 13:57Speaker 2: in America range from... 50 to 80. I think this
- 14:01Speaker 2: is the biggest stadium that they're playing in front of ever.
- 14:04Speaker 6: College football has over 100,000 people regularly.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got those Rose Bowls and those old-fashioned stadiums.
- 14:10Speaker 2: But the NFL, for the high-level sport, I'm pretty sure
- 14:14Speaker 2: most of them are about 80.
- 14:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:16Speaker 6: So you think Adelaide could do a good enough job
- 14:17Speaker 6: at hosting? Of course we could.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Well, look at anything that we do. Yeah, true. We
- 14:21Speaker 3: do an excellent job.
- 14:22Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always a success, isn't it?
- 14:23Speaker 3: But should we?
- 14:24Speaker 6: Should we? Okay, so you're asking should we, not will we.
- 14:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:27Speaker 7: Should we?
- 14:27Speaker 2: Because the Premier is already going through some up and
- 14:30Speaker 2: downs right now with Live Golf.
- 14:32Speaker 6: How many trees would he have to cut down for
- 14:34Speaker 6: an NFL O?
- 14:35Speaker 3: Let's move on. Frank, good morning to you.
- 14:38Speaker 6: They could use the possum as the ball, Frank.
- 14:41Speaker 5: Good morning, Ned. Ned, you mentioned that you prefer to
- 14:46Speaker 5: watch the game at home. Was that right?
- 14:49Speaker 6: I've got to be honest, Frank, it's totally true.
- 14:52Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, I'm like you, mate. This is
- 14:54Speaker 5: why I like, this is why I prefer to watch
- 14:56Speaker 5: the game at home. You get an all-round view. You
- 14:59Speaker 5: get a close-up, you get a zoom shot, you get
- 15:02Speaker 5: a long shot. You get a lot of shots of
- 15:05Speaker 5: the players. But the only thing, what you sacrifice on
- 15:09Speaker 5: the TV watching it at home is you miss the
- 15:12Speaker 5: feel of the game. You miss the atmosphere.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Of the game.
- 15:16Speaker 5: You miss the sounds of the games. That's what I reckon, mate.
- 15:20Speaker 5: That's what you meant.
- 15:21Speaker 6: I think you're dead right, Frank.
- 15:23Speaker 7: And the only thing about watching it on telly is
- 15:25Speaker 7: sometimes you can't see ahead of the play or behind
- 15:28Speaker 7: the play, and I do like seeing that.
- 15:29Speaker 3: It annoys me when they zoom in and they stay
- 15:32Speaker 3: zoomed in and you have no idea where they're going.
- 15:34Speaker 7: If I'm kind of doing a bit more analysis on
- 15:36Speaker 7: the game, I do like to be there live. But
- 15:38Speaker 7: if not, Frank, cuddle up on the couch with a blanket,
- 15:41Speaker 7: make sure the dog's on.
- 15:42Speaker 6: Your lap, you beauty.
- 15:44Speaker 5: That's right, mate.
- 15:45Speaker 4: I agree.
- 15:45Speaker 7: Frank, what are you doing on the weekend?
- 15:47Speaker 6: I love it when you call.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Not much, but I'll tell you what I am going
- 15:51Speaker 5: to do on September, on the 20th of September. I'm
- 15:55Speaker 5: going away to the Victorian gold fields. I'm a gold prospector.
- 15:59Speaker 5: I go down there looking for gold with my metal
- 16:01Speaker 5: detector and my wife and I are going to find
- 16:02Speaker 5: a lovely cabin. I used to go down there every
- 16:05Speaker 5: year for a couple of weeks, but now I'm retired
- 16:07Speaker 5: at 70, but I love the bush, mate. It's just
- 16:09Speaker 5: a great hobby. It's a hobby for all ages, mate.
- 16:11Speaker 5: You know, And it's just great, you know, looking for gold.
- 16:21Speaker 5: And you never know, every time you get a signal
- 16:24Speaker 5: from a detective, you never know whether it's going to
- 16:27Speaker 5: be gold until you dig it up. A lot of
- 16:28Speaker 5: the time it's just scrap and rubbish, but you just
- 16:31Speaker 5: don't know. Yeah, and, yeah, it's a great, great feeling.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Great feeling and a great hobby, and it keeps you fit. And,
- 16:38Speaker 5: you know, you're out there in the bush and you're
- 16:40Speaker 5: seeing the kangaroos and you're Seeing the cockies, hearing the
- 16:44Speaker 5: cockies and all sorts of different birds out there. It's
- 16:49Speaker 5: just a beautiful place to be. And it's so peaceful
- 16:54Speaker 5: and quiet there in the country, mate. You know what
- 16:56Speaker 5: it's like. You're a country guy.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Love your work, Frank.
- 16:58Speaker 13: What a great hobby.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Did you hear Frank's voice light up when he started
- 17:03Speaker 2: talking about gold prospecting?
- 17:04Speaker 7: I was talking about a dog on a lap, and
- 17:06Speaker 7: he was half excited, and then he started talking about
- 17:08Speaker 7: panning or metal detecting for gold.
- 17:10Speaker 6: You should have seen it, folks.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Anyone got any interesting hobbies?
- 17:13Speaker 3: Gold panning, that is so cool.
- 17:15Speaker 7: What are some of our niche hobbies?
- 17:17Speaker 3: Niche hobbies.
- 17:18Speaker 6: Early breakfast listeners.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Jump on the phones, 822-300-00. Linda and Michael, hang on.
- 17:22Speaker 2: We are very late for a break. 21 after 5,

- 17:36Speaker 2: What are you giggling about?
- 17:40Speaker 6: No, I'm sorry, Mandy.
- 17:41Speaker 7: I made a joke about a possum again, which Mandy's
- 17:44Speaker 7: very specifically asked me not to do several times. Love you,
- 17:48Speaker 7: Mandy and those blue brothers.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Morning, Linda.
- 17:50Speaker 8: Good morning. I'm talking funny because I've had A tooth out.
- 17:56Speaker 7: Oh, Linda, I've got to be honest, and I say
- 17:59Speaker 7: this with great affection, you sound horrible.
- 18:01Speaker 8: I know. I've hardly slept. I've had a rotten week.
- 18:08Speaker 8: I'm the one that fell off, that tipped off the.
- 18:12Speaker 6: Yeah, the concussion off your scooter.
- 18:14Speaker 12: Yeah, there.
- 18:15Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:15Speaker 8: Anyway, I got a massive toothache Wednesday night, and I
- 18:20Speaker 8: got in the dentist yesterday, and it was... a big
- 18:24Speaker 8: molar at the back and she x-rayed it and it
- 18:28Speaker 8: was a um an abscess and bacterial infection under the
- 18:34Speaker 8: tooth so the tooth had to come.
- 18:36Speaker 11: Out nasty isn't that just the worst.
- 18:39Speaker 8: News i'm not joking in my mouth to try and
- 18:42Speaker 8: kill the pain and deaden it you know but i'm
- 18:45Speaker 8: not feeling sorry for myself i'm just i've just had
- 18:48Speaker 8: a rotten week i'm flying to hawaii in a week
- 18:50Speaker 8: and a half kind of focus on.
- 18:53Speaker 7: That 50 years you've been married to your husband Linda that's.
- 18:56Speaker 8: Right yeah put up with his jokes for.
- 18:58Speaker 7: 50 years yeah nah well we're excited we're excited for
- 19:02Speaker 7: you with that trip over there that'll be great.
- 19:05Speaker 3: You should call in from Hawaii Linda.
- 19:07Speaker 6: Can I come.
- 19:09Speaker 8: Of course you can. You carry my bags, you can come. Anyway,
- 19:14Speaker 8: sailing back to Australia from Hawaii for 19 nights, going
- 19:18Speaker 8: to Tahiti.
- 19:19Speaker 5: And all those places.
- 19:20Speaker 8: Very quickly, I just want to say, anyone who drives
- 19:24Speaker 8: to Brisbane, you've got to have at least three nights,
- 19:31Speaker 8: you know, staying over two nights, possibly three. We did
- 19:35Speaker 8: a Canberra trip. We had to stay two nights on
- 19:39Speaker 8: the way. It was a killer.
- 19:41Speaker 6: Why would you want to go to Canberra, Linda? It's
- 19:43Speaker 6: one of the most awful places in the country.
- 19:45Speaker 8: My daughter lives there.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Oh, sorry.
- 19:48Speaker 8: And her husband is. Colonel in the Army.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Careful, he'll get you.
- 19:54Speaker 6: I thought you were going to say Colonel Sanders, the
- 19:56Speaker 6: KFC fella.
- 19:57Speaker 8: No, no, he's Colonel in the Army. He's lovely. Anyway,
- 20:02Speaker 8: so I'm just saying don't try and kill it in...
- 20:06Speaker 8: I don't know how many hours it takes literally to drive.
- 20:10Speaker 8: And I've drivers you can swap with, you know. But
- 20:13Speaker 8: then the last thing, I was born in Liverpool, UK,
- 20:19Speaker 8: and the nuts with soccer. And I grew up with
- 20:24Speaker 8: mum and dad and three brothers. Now, the three brothers
- 20:27Speaker 8: and my dad were crazy for soccer, you know, to
- 20:31Speaker 8: the point of you wanted to kill them. But anyway,
- 20:35Speaker 8: mum and I, became expert shoppers and eating out and
- 20:41Speaker 8: having steak meals out because we'd just go out for
- 20:45Speaker 8: the day on a Saturday and we wouldn't return until
- 20:47Speaker 8: it was all over because they'd all be shouting at
- 20:48Speaker 8: the TV and everything. But, yeah, so I really don't
- 20:54Speaker 8: like sports, you know, like cricket and tennis. I'd rather
- 20:59Speaker 8: go and watch the grass grow outside.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Thank you, Linda. That is a lot of people's thoughts
- 21:04Speaker 3: on sport. Not a fan.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Rather watch grass grow. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone has
- 21:08Speaker 2: their hobby. And as we heard before, Frank from Birkenhead,
- 21:11Speaker 2: his hobby is gold panning.
- 21:13Speaker 5: Morning.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And then we got one on the text line. Morning, boys.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Like every hobby, my hobby is expensive to practice because
- 21:19Speaker 2: if I do, I won't be able to pay the bills.
- 21:20Speaker 3: My hobby is staying in bed and not going to work.
- 21:23Speaker 13: Oscar.
- 21:24Speaker 6: That's funny. Any interesting hobbies? Yeah, what do you do?
- 21:27Speaker 6: We'd love to hear that.
- 21:28Speaker 7: Plus a footy preview if you've got any thoughts on
- 21:30Speaker 7: how the Crows get it done on Saturday. We'd love
- 21:33Speaker 7: those too. He is a regular caller, a good man. Hello,
- 21:36Speaker 7: Michael from Ross Trevor.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Good morning, 5AA, 5AM crew. Morning.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Kudos to the guy driving up to Queensland.
- 21:45Speaker 8: Big trip, isn't it?
- 21:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:48Speaker 6: I guess you're lucky to have that time to spare.
- 21:51Speaker 8: Yeah, Crows probably go down.
- 21:55Speaker 9: Such a shame.
- 21:56Speaker 8: Would be a great upset, though, if it was.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Would be a great lift for the Holtz Adelaide in
- 22:02Speaker 1: the state to see them go to the next round.
- 22:06Speaker 9: NFL.
- 22:08Speaker 5: There was a lady here in Adelaide who was on
- 22:09Speaker 5: the breakfast show. She's flying to Melbourne for the game.
- 22:14Speaker 3: And I wouldn't mind going.
- 22:15Speaker 4: I actually dated a girl when I was living in
- 22:17Speaker 4: San Diego.
- 22:18Speaker 14: Her dad played for the San Diego Chargers.
- 22:21Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 22:22Speaker 3: What was the name?
- 22:23Speaker 12: Can't remember.
- 22:24Speaker 13: Oh.
- 22:25Speaker 6: Definitely must have been a memorable relationship, Michael.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Definitely was a remarkable one. Thank you, Michael. Sally and Hillcrest,
- 22:31Speaker 3: good morning.
- 22:32Speaker 13: Good morning, boys. How are you?
- 22:34Speaker 3: Good, mate.
- 22:36Speaker 13: Careful what you say about Canberra there, Nettie.
- 22:38Speaker 6: I hate Canberra, Sally. Oh, I shouldn't say that, the
- 22:41Speaker 6: H word.
- 22:42Speaker 13: I've got family over there. We love it. We're going
- 22:45Speaker 13: over for the long weekend.
- 22:48Speaker 6: I don't need any water tanks over at Canberra, Sal.
- 22:52Speaker 6: It mustn't be for work.
- 22:54Speaker 13: No, no, no, no. It's to see family.
- 22:56Speaker 6: Okay.
- 22:58Speaker 13: You're talking about hobbies.
- 22:59Speaker 6: What do you do?
- 23:01Speaker 13: My volunteering work. So I'm a SES volunteer and I'm
- 23:08Speaker 13: a scorer for Payneham Cricket Club. So my Saturdays for summer,
- 23:16Speaker 13: I can't wait. I'm on the countdown. They start 10th
- 23:18Speaker 13: of October again. And yeah, so every Saturday... at the
- 23:23Speaker 13: cricket scoring for the boys. And then also I'm secretary
- 23:32Speaker 13: for the club and also secretary of our women's guild
- 23:35Speaker 13: at church.
- 23:36Speaker 3: You are a busy lady.
- 23:38Speaker 13: I enjoy it. It keeps my mind active.
- 23:41Speaker 3: So did you say you were volunteering at the SCS
- 23:43Speaker 3: or the CFS?
- 23:43Speaker 13: Yeah, no, SCS.
- 23:45Speaker 2: What happens if you're mid-game scoring a game of cricket
- 23:49Speaker 2: and you get the SCS alerts?
- 23:52Speaker 13: I have left before, but I do more the radio
- 23:56Speaker 13: side of things. So if we get really busy, I'll
- 23:59Speaker 13: go in.
- 24:00Speaker 11: Yep.
- 24:00Speaker 13: But I also organise a lot of the fundraisers for
- 24:05Speaker 13: our local unit and that sort of thing.
- 24:08Speaker 12: So your Bunnings.
- 24:09Speaker 13: BBQ's, Neddy.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Yep.
- 24:12Speaker 13: We've got one at Prospect on Sunday if you're near
- 24:14Speaker 13: Prospect Bunnings.
- 24:15Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I could get out there and have a snag.
- 24:18Speaker 13: We've got one this Sunday.
- 24:20Speaker 7: What's it raising money for?
- 24:23Speaker 13: The local SES unit.
- 24:24Speaker 6: Oh, sorry, you just said that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 24:26Speaker 13: Because, yeah, SES is predominantly volunteer-based.
- 24:29Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 24:29Speaker 13: So raising funds for.
- 24:35Speaker 13: Stuff we need extra on top of what we get
- 24:39Speaker 13: but I keep myself busy with my hobbies with volunteering
- 24:42Speaker 13: I love it and like I said summer's about to
- 24:44Speaker 13: start like the summer cricket season starts in October so
- 24:48Speaker 13: we're on the countdown um and then yeah my Saturdays
- 24:51Speaker 13: are spent scoring and I love it I love watching
- 24:54Speaker 13: the boys play.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Well done Sally she raises a good point though what
- 24:57Speaker 2: is it I think we might have discussed this before
- 24:59Speaker 2: best way to enjoy a snag is it just in
- 25:02Speaker 2: the bread.
- 25:03Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't like sauce. I have a favourite sauce.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you do. You're weird. You're weird.
- 25:08Speaker 6: I just have it with onion.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Is there anything more Australian and summer feeling than snags,
- 25:14Speaker 2: onion on a barbie, and that smell that ruminates through
- 25:18Speaker 2: the backyard or bunnings?
- 25:19Speaker 6: Yeah, it's delicious. But you have vegan sausages.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 25:25Speaker 6: Any vegans out there?
- 25:27Speaker 3: I'm not a vegan. You need to work this out, Ned.
- 25:30Speaker 6: There is a difference. Call up and explain why you're vegan.
- 25:32Speaker 7: A few things.
- 25:33Speaker 3: You are unbelievable.
- 25:34Speaker 6: I will quickly just rank the states and territories again.
- 25:37Speaker 4: Why?
- 25:37Speaker 6: For a fifth time.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Let me guess, Canberra's last.
- 25:41Speaker 7: South Australia first. I think Queensland second. Western Australia third.
- 25:48Speaker 7: Northern Territory as a territory is fourth, and then the
- 25:51Speaker 7: rest are irrelevant.
- 25:53Speaker 11: The early breakfast boring story alarm. What do you mean?
- 25:57Speaker 1: We apologise for what's just occurred. Engaging informative content will
- 26:02Speaker 1: now recommence.
- 26:03Speaker 3: How many times do you need to list your states
- 26:05Speaker 3: and territories?
- 26:05Speaker 7: Well, why the heck would you want to go to
- 26:07Speaker 7: Canberra even if your family.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Are there, Sal? Bring them down here.
- 26:09Speaker 7: They can go down the flurio.
- 26:11Speaker 3: We know we don't have any listeners in Canberra.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Yeah, good.
- 26:14Speaker 6: Terrible place.
- 26:16Speaker 7: If you were going to a desert island or you
- 26:18Speaker 7: were dropped off there or you were deserted, Sam, you
- 26:22Speaker 7: could only take three things.
- 26:23Speaker 6: You know?
- 26:24Speaker 3: Dropped off or deserted. There's two very different.
- 26:27Speaker 6: Well, you've been dropped off there.
- 26:28Speaker 7: You are now deserted.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Okay, sorry.
- 26:30Speaker 2: You just didn't crash in a plane. You've been able
- 26:32Speaker 2: to prepare for this trip.
- 26:33Speaker 7: Well, if you want to make it that you crash
- 26:34Speaker 7: in a plane and survive for a bit of extra
- 26:36Speaker 7: kind of oomph, that's fine.
- 26:38Speaker 3: What do you want to know?
- 26:39Speaker 6: 12 months you stay there. 12 months. 12.
- 26:45Speaker 7: 100%. So you cannot get off the island until 12 months' time.
- 26:50Speaker 6: You can only take three things.
- 26:53Speaker 7: Now, there are a few natural resources on the island,
- 26:56Speaker 7: but you can only take three things on the desert island.
- 27:01Speaker 7: 8223 0000, what are you taking? What are you taking
- 27:05Speaker 7: before we get some caller input?
- 27:07Speaker 3: I'm going the practical route.
- 27:09Speaker 11: Well, yeah.
- 27:10Speaker 3: 12 months, I need a life.
- 27:11Speaker 9: Okay.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I'm taking a knife.
- 27:14Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a really good one.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Boy, is he putting this down on your list, are you?
- 27:18Speaker 6: No, I have a knife already, mate.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Taking a flint.
- 27:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:21Speaker 6: Would you even know how to use a flint?
- 27:23Speaker 3: Yes, I would.
- 27:25Speaker 7: You would not know how to use a flint.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I was the tech study student year 12 person at school.
- 27:31Speaker 2: I know exactly how to use it. I know how
- 27:32Speaker 2: to start a fire. You paint me as this massive
- 27:35Speaker 2: city slicker.
- 27:36Speaker 3: You're a city slicker. I can hold my own. Radio
- 27:38Speaker 3: broadcasting vegan. I can hold my own. I'm not a vegan.
- 27:42Speaker 3: And a fishing rod. I'd give up my vegetarianism because
- 27:45Speaker 3: I've got to eat.
- 27:48Speaker 7: You've heard it here first, folks. 5.35, the vegan is
- 27:51Speaker 7: taking a knife, a fishing rod and a flint. He
- 27:55Speaker 7: thinks he's Steve Irwin.
- 27:57Speaker 11: Crikey!
- 27:58Speaker 3: But what are you taking, Big Shot?
- 28:02Speaker 7: I think it's actually quite a boring topic because I've
- 28:04Speaker 7: got similar stuff to you.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Go on.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Look at you, you're a bit of a cowboy now, eh?
- 28:12Speaker 7: You're going to go and muster out some cows out
- 28:15Speaker 7: there this morning, are you?
- 28:20Speaker 6: You just stay in Halifax Street, mate.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Seriously. I'm not even in Halifax Street. But anyway, go on.
- 28:27Speaker 6: I'd take a knife, obviously.
- 28:28Speaker 3: No, obviously.
- 28:30Speaker 6: I'd take some matches.
- 28:35Speaker 7: And then I think you need some form of entertainment
- 28:38Speaker 7: after that. You need something to kind of, you know,
- 28:42Speaker 7: spur you on. So I was going to take a
- 28:45Speaker 7: tennis racket and ball. You just need one slightly different
- 28:50Speaker 7: little thing to keep your company out there. I thought
- 28:53Speaker 7: a tennis racket and ball because you could hit it
- 28:54Speaker 7: up against a tree and you could get really good
- 28:56Speaker 7: at your tennis.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Okay.
- 28:58Speaker 2: So 822-300-00, what are you taking to a desert island?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Three objects, three things you can take with you to
- 29:03Speaker 2: last 12 months.
- 29:05Speaker 7: What are you doing for 12 months? What's something clever
- 29:07Speaker 7: you could do or take? Maybe something a little different,
- 29:10Speaker 7: something we might not have thought of.
- 29:12Speaker 6: Get on the phone.
- 29:13Speaker 13: 822-300-00.
- 29:15Speaker 2: On the text line, Andrew, morning, dad and Sam, my
- 29:18Speaker 2: nine-year-old daughter will have any sauce on any sausage or burger.
- 29:22Speaker 2: If she has a burger, it's no pickle and no sauce.
- 29:25Speaker 2: If they make a mistake, prepare for the meltdown.
- 29:29Speaker 7: Andrew, just be understanding of that because I have the
- 29:32Speaker 7: exact same thing. Pickles, anything with acidity, sauces, it all
- 29:36Speaker 7: gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can't even be in a
- 29:38Speaker 7: kitchen where there's sauce on the bench because it makes
- 29:41Speaker 7: me feel so uncomfortable.
- 29:42Speaker 3: True story. I just think you need to grow up.
- 29:45Speaker 6: Settle down. No, don't be.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Seriously. 13 to 6. No, not 13. 23 to 6. 822-300-00.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Jump on the phones. Plenty to talk about this morning.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Tom Wren, not far away. We'll be talking about the
- 29:57Speaker 2: Crows and the NFL.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 30:16Speaker 14: No?
- 30:17Speaker 7: Get absolutely stuffed.
- 30:18Speaker 6: What about the text line?
- 30:19Speaker 7: Kathy says, did you two wake up on the wrong
- 30:21Speaker 7: side of the bed today? Be nice to each other, please. Kathy,
- 30:23Speaker 7: how am I supposed to be nice to a vegan?
- 30:25Speaker 6: Seriously.
- 30:26Speaker 2: How am I supposed to be nice to an old,
- 30:27Speaker 2: old ex-footballer? What about Lockie and Beck on the text line?
- 30:30Speaker 1: Morning, lads.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Just kicking off a weekend camping trip for our mate
- 30:34Speaker 2: Max's 30th birthday.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Road trip underway. Have a good day. Lockie and Beck.
- 30:38Speaker 7: Max, happy 30th, you flippin' legend. Lockie and Beck, enjoy.
- 30:42Speaker 7: Thanks for engaging with the program.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Brad from One Tree Hill, good morning.
- 30:46Speaker 14: Morning, Sam. Good morning, Ned.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Now, Ned.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Yes?
- 30:50Speaker 14: In Australia, no sauce on your bunnings, on your sanger
- 30:56Speaker 14: and that, or on a pie.
- 30:58Speaker 15: That's heresy.
- 31:00Speaker 14: You're a heretic.
- 31:01Speaker 7: It is un-Australian, but it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I
- 31:04Speaker 7: have something about sauce. I can't deal with.
- 31:06Speaker 3: It, Brad.
- 31:07Speaker 14: Well, you've just got to learn to live with it. Now,
- 31:10Speaker 14: the other thing, on an island, I agree with you, Sam. There,
- 31:13Speaker 14: I'd take a... Nice, long, sharp knife for hunting. Oh, yeah,
- 31:18Speaker 14: you have flip locks so you can get a fire going.
- 31:21Speaker 14: And in the Robinson Crusoe mould, when the cannibals come
- 31:26Speaker 14: to the island, you rescue the person that's condemned to
- 31:31Speaker 14: be eaten. Hopefully it's a good-looking woman so she can
- 31:34Speaker 14: do all the gathering of all the nuts and food
- 31:37Speaker 14: and grapes and keep the fire going so you can
- 31:40Speaker 14: cook on the fire.
- 31:41Speaker 6: Thank you, Brad.
- 31:41Speaker 7: Just a warning there on gender roles in 2026, but
- 31:44Speaker 7: I understood exactly what you were saying.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Let's sneak in Arthur before Tommy. Morning, Arthur. Hi, boys.
- 31:50Speaker 9: I hope.
- 31:52Speaker 15: It's one thing I was... Now, where's your team playing Saturday?
- 31:56Speaker 15: You're on the.
- 31:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:58Speaker 15: We are.
- 31:59Speaker 3: It's at Norwood.
- 32:01Speaker 6: Can you come, Arthur, and give the boys a bit
- 32:02Speaker 6: of a rev up?
- 32:08Speaker 9: No.
- 32:08Speaker 15: I hope you go well anyway. But what I'm complaining about, now,
- 32:14Speaker 15: that's a pretty good standard footy, that Adelaide Football League
- 32:17Speaker 15: Division 1. But when you're a coach like you are...
- 32:21Speaker 15: If you're coaching on the lower grades, can you really
- 32:24Speaker 15: coach the boys the same way as when you've got
- 32:27Speaker 15: better players? I know up in the hills here, Matt
- 32:30Speaker 15: Barker struggled this year, and I've watched them play a bit.
- 32:32Speaker 15: They over-possess the ball. They try to kick sideways. They
- 32:35Speaker 15: missed their mark, and next thing you know, you've got
- 32:38Speaker 15: the opposition kicking a goal. I'm just wondering, as you
- 32:42Speaker 15: get in the lower grades, you've got to force a
- 32:44Speaker 15: ball more forward. At least it's not leaving it open
- 32:50Speaker 15: for the opposite. It's an extra kick for the opposition
- 32:52Speaker 15: to have a shot at their goal if something goes wrong.
- 32:56Speaker 6: No, you're right, Arthur.
- 32:57Speaker 7: So the lower the level, the higher the ratio is
- 33:00Speaker 7: as a turnover per disposal. So say in the AFL
- 33:03Speaker 7: there's six disposals. on average, for every turnover, whereas the
- 33:07Speaker 7: lower levels, it goes to four, to three, to two.
- 33:09Speaker 7: So the less overusing of the ball, probably less handball,
- 33:12Speaker 7: and the more focus you have on just gaining field
- 33:14Speaker 7: position and pressuring the ball ahead is probably well suited
- 33:17Speaker 7: to those levels.
- 33:19Speaker 3: The latest in sports with Tom Wren. The one and
- 33:22Speaker 3: only Tommy Wren.
- 33:23Speaker 15: Morning.
- 33:23Speaker 11: Morning, boys.
- 33:24Speaker 10: It's all about, well, there's a few things, but mainly
- 33:27Speaker 10: the AFL. The Crows, huge game tomorrow night. They've named
- 33:30Speaker 10: their team, so ready to go.
- 33:32Speaker 11: One change. They've brought in Zach Taylor for Isaac Cumming.
- 33:37Speaker 11: I don't mind it.
- 33:37Speaker 10: They've made a hard call. Matty Nix isn't known for
- 33:39Speaker 10: making big, tough selection calls, but that's a That's a
- 33:42Speaker 10: difficult one. You know, Isaac Cumming, good player, been solid,
- 33:45Speaker 10: but Zach Taylor's got really nice poise, great skills.
- 33:49Speaker 11: I think it's a nice move.
- 33:50Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 33:51Speaker 3: No, I agree, Rennie. We spoke about it earlier.
- 33:52Speaker 11: Don't know if it'll make a difference or if they'll win,
- 33:55Speaker 11: but at least he's having a crack. I don't mind it.
- 33:57Speaker 7: I think he's decided that he wants to pick his
- 33:59Speaker 7: best team. Cumming would be disappointed. Zach Taylor comes back in.
- 34:02Speaker 7: Isaac Cumming's been the one that's just on the fringe
- 34:04Speaker 7: a little bit because he missed about four weeks ago
- 34:07Speaker 7: when he had returned from injury and That was, you know,
- 34:09Speaker 7: said to be a kind of body thing, but it
- 34:11Speaker 7: was a form thing, like it was the best side thing.
- 34:13Speaker 7: So he's probably the one they view as that 22nd, 20,
- 34:17Speaker 7: 30 type Isaac Cumming.
- 34:18Speaker 6: He comes out. And, yeah, Zach Taylor will be a
- 34:20Speaker 6: part of that forward mix.
- 34:21Speaker 10: And he's shown some good stuff this year, Zach Taylor.
- 34:24Speaker 10: He's kicked some really nice goals. He's played well. So,
- 34:28Speaker 10: you know, that's impressive. So he's in just one change
- 34:31Speaker 10: for Brisbane as well. They have brought in Ty Gallop
- 34:34Speaker 10: for Noah Answorth. So that's the way things have gone there.
- 34:37Speaker 10: Fremantle Geelong tonight should be interesting. Now, I'm a bit worried.
- 34:40Speaker 11: What's Sammy doing? He's taking photos of me.
- 34:42Speaker 6: While I'm... I'm not sure. Why are you doing that, Sammy?
- 34:44Speaker 3: Move on.
- 34:45Speaker 7: Can I ask you a question just as we're doing sport?
- 34:48Speaker 7: If a vegan goes onto an island and they take
- 34:51Speaker 7: a knife and they need to hunt to eat, how
- 34:54Speaker 7: do they do that? How does the vegan just hang
- 34:57Speaker 7: out with the animal and hope that some of the protein.
- 34:59Speaker 3: From it just comes to you?
- 35:01Speaker 2: Maybe, Ned, you should just worry about not getting relegated
- 35:04Speaker 2: again and coaching footy, okay?
- 35:05Speaker 3: Randy, what else is going on?
- 35:07Speaker 6: Well, there's that footy.
- 35:08Speaker 10: There's obviously the NFL today, but I mentioned yesterday there's
- 35:10Speaker 10: a big NPL final with regards to soccer tonight. So
- 35:14Speaker 10: this is like the Sample equivalent, if you want to
- 35:16Speaker 10: put it to that. in terms of soccer. So Adelaide City,
- 35:19Speaker 10: probably the proudest club Australia-wide in terms of presenting socceroos
- 35:23Speaker 10: and players like that. They're playing against West Torrens Bacala.
- 35:27Speaker 10: So both sides have had 1-0 victories against each other
- 35:30Speaker 10: this season. So this is being played tonight at Service
- 35:35Speaker 10: FM Stadium, which is at Gepps Cross. It's where Adelaide
- 35:37Speaker 10: United often play and the women's side play as well.
- 35:41Speaker 10: It's a beautiful stadium. City's aiming for their 20th NPL title.
- 35:46Speaker 10: Their first coming back in 1953. West Adelaide is the
- 35:50Speaker 10: next best for reference with just 11 titles compared.
- 35:53Speaker 11: So Adelaide City.
- 35:55Speaker 10: Is a hugely successful soccer club. They've produced the likes
- 35:58Speaker 10: of Johnny Perrin, Alex Tobin. The soccer fans out there
- 36:00Speaker 10: will know this. Aurelio, Tony Vidmar, Carl Viet, who's coached
- 36:04Speaker 10: Adelaide United, Damian Mori. West Torrens, Bacala, they're a relatively
- 36:08Speaker 10: new club, but they've actually been a merger because they
- 36:11Speaker 10: are West Torrens and Bacala Rovers. Following the merger, that
- 36:14Speaker 10: was back in 1967, just the one title for them.
- 36:17Speaker 10: And that was back in 1998 when it was the
- 36:20Speaker 10: Premier League. So their top scorer this season is the
- 36:23Speaker 10: league's top scorer, George Blackwood, who used to play with
- 36:26Speaker 10: Adelaide United in the A-League. So just a bit of
- 36:28Speaker 10: background there between those two sides. They'll get three, four,
- 36:31Speaker 10: maybe 5,000 out there tonight. So that'll be a good
- 36:34Speaker 10: game and hopefully a great grand final for the NPL locally.
- 36:38Speaker 6: Fantastic. Rennie, just to round out the week of news, what, Sam?
- 36:43Speaker 3: I thought you were going to ask about karate.
- 36:44Speaker 6: Oh, about karate. No, we'll get to a karate update shortly.
- 36:48Speaker 7: There's developing thoughts that is it possible regarding the Tom
- 36:55Speaker 7: Morris report with Matthew Nix?
- 36:56Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 36:57Speaker 7: Is it possible that it was the Matthew Nix management
- 37:00Speaker 7: camp that leaked it to Tom Morris in order to
- 37:05Speaker 7: galvanise the football club and, yeah, galvanise the supporters, galvanise
- 37:11Speaker 7: the football clubs around Matthew Nix and then also.
- 37:13Speaker 6: Oh, thanks, Sam.
- 37:16Speaker 7: And then even if it was to happen, the club
- 37:20Speaker 7: would probably take a stronger stance around not.
- 37:22Speaker 6: doing something.
- 37:23Speaker 7: Because of the Victorian reports to make it look like
- 37:25Speaker 7: they weren't influenced by the media.
- 37:27Speaker 10: To engender some, you know, sympathy, I suppose, you know,
- 37:31Speaker 10: from an Adelaide perspective.
- 37:33Speaker 11: Yeah, look, anything's possible. Anything's possible. I'm sure there's, you know...
- 37:40Speaker 11: It's got to have come from somewhere, doesn't it?
- 37:43Speaker 7: Tom Morris would not have gone with that report unless
- 37:46Speaker 7: there was some merit in it.
- 37:47Speaker 6: So who's leaking it?
- 37:48Speaker 10: And you and I, I mean, he did really well,
- 37:51Speaker 10: but you and I have been speculating and... several other people,
- 37:54Speaker 10: and Sammy about it all season.
- 37:56Speaker 6: We've been talking about it for 12 months.
- 37:58Speaker 11: It was just that he was more concrete, wasn't he,
- 38:00Speaker 11: saying it will happen.
- 38:02Speaker 6: And then the week of the lead-up into the finals,
- 38:03Speaker 6: he went pretty hard.
- 38:04Speaker 11: Yeah, he went really hard.
- 38:06Speaker 7: Just a few murmurs about that coming out of the
- 38:09Speaker 7: Knicks camp. Now, I personally don't think that's true.
- 38:12Speaker 4: Yes.
- 38:13Speaker 7: However, I think it's interesting as a concept.
- 38:17Speaker 11: Very interesting.
- 38:18Speaker 7: It wouldn't be the first time a camp like that.
- 38:21Speaker 7: I know so many examples of player managers, others, going
- 38:24Speaker 7: to the media. I'm sure, Rennie, I'm sure people have
- 38:26Speaker 7: come to you a hundred times.
- 38:27Speaker 11: You know what, Ned?
- 38:29Speaker 10: Now, some see it as the enemy and totally get it,
- 38:32Speaker 10: and to stay away from them, don't engage. But I
- 38:36Speaker 10: think those that want to, if they can do so,
- 38:39Speaker 10: use it.
- 38:40Speaker 6: When you need something, it's funny.
- 38:41Speaker 7: Use it to your advantage.
- 38:42Speaker 6: The media's the first one you go to, isn't it?
- 38:43Speaker 11: Yeah, use it to your advantage. Bend it to your will.
- 38:46Speaker 10: So if that's the feeling they have, had to get
- 38:50Speaker 10: it their way, then, you know, I guess Michigan accomplished.
- 38:53Speaker 10: At the end of the day, it comes down to
- 38:55Speaker 10: winning and losing. They won the game of footy against
- 38:58Speaker 10: the Bulldogs. That was the most important thing. If they
- 39:00Speaker 10: win this week, we're all hailing the Crows and saying
- 39:03Speaker 10: how great they were against Brisbane.
- 39:04Speaker 6: What if they lose by 10 goals?
- 39:06Speaker 10: Yeah, the manner with which they lose will be important.
- 39:12Speaker 10: I can't see it happening. I think it's going to
- 39:14Speaker 10: be really close. But you're right, if they get hammered,
- 39:18Speaker 10: It's only going.
- 39:19Speaker 3: To kick up again, isn't it?
- 39:20Speaker 10: It will kick up again to a point, although people
- 39:22Speaker 10: will say, well, at least they won their one final.
- 39:24Speaker 6: Do you want some generic football statements?
- 39:27Speaker 7: There's two of them. A week's a long time in footy.
- 39:30Speaker 7: so you can go from being hero to zero very,
- 39:33Speaker 7: very quickly. Yes.
- 39:34Speaker 6: And the other one is, is it never as good
- 39:36Speaker 6: or as bad as it seems?
- 39:37Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 39:37Speaker 7: And things are looking quite good at the moment for
- 39:38Speaker 7: the Adelaide Crows, but you just don't know.
- 39:40Speaker 11: You never know.
- 39:41Speaker 7: I hope they're good. I think they'll be good against Brisbane, Renny.
- 39:43Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a good game.
- 39:44Speaker 6: I agree with you.
- 39:45Speaker 11: I do too. And who wins tonight? I'm going Friot
- 39:47Speaker 11: to bounce back.
- 39:50Speaker 6: Tough one to tip.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Stephen on the text line, boys, that's exactly where footy
- 39:54Speaker 2: analysis loses me. It's so dependent on the result, it
- 39:57Speaker 2: all changes in an instant.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Very insightful.
- 40:01Speaker 6: I think Frio too, but I think Frio have got
- 40:04Speaker 6: some flaws in their game.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Yeah. It's interesting.
- 40:06Speaker 6: They've been the best side all year, but yeah.
- 40:08Speaker 12: All right.
- 40:09Speaker 6: Yeah, no, Frio. Feels to me.
- 40:10Speaker 10: Feels a bit like it could be the Crows from
- 40:12Speaker 10: last year, but I hope the Dockers win.
- 40:14Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the Dockers too. Do you have any
- 40:16Speaker 7: karate updates? Is anyone getting new belts or anything like that?
- 40:19Speaker 7: Has anyone gone from a yellow to a blue?
- 40:21Speaker 6: That's always happening. That is always happening.
- 40:24Speaker 10: So, no, I thought we'd just stick with the soccer
- 40:27Speaker 10: and the footy today and a bit of NFL, which
- 40:29Speaker 10: is on later this morning, 10 o'clock. So that's obviously
- 40:33Speaker 10: prime time over in the States. That'll be Thursday night football.
- 40:37Speaker 10: So we'll wait and see what happens.
- 40:38Speaker 11: It's a bit going on in here, isn't it?
- 40:40Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 40:40Speaker 3: Well done, Tommy.
- 40:41Speaker 2: We'll catch you Monday morning, 8223 0000 044808 1395 if
- 40:43Speaker 2: you want to jump on the program.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Got some time after the break.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA early breakfast.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Four to six. Stacey and Will for 5AA breakfast.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Meet, meet.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Start that again.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Feedback Friday, Meat Tray Friday. Tim Ginniver to check out
- 41:07Speaker 2: the weekend in sport. They'll cross over to Canberra to
- 41:09Speaker 2: get the very latest out of the federal political arena,
- 41:13Speaker 2: plus plenty more. Time for your call or two as well.
- 41:16Speaker 2: 8223 0000.
- 41:17Speaker 11: What have we got?
- 41:18Speaker 7: Three and a half minutes. If you want to jump
- 41:19Speaker 7: on that... The blower, you can quickly do that. Now,
- 41:23Speaker 7: I'm going to lean on you.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:25Speaker 6: And it's not for veganism.
- 41:26Speaker 7: It's not for a report on vegetables and why, you know,
- 41:30Speaker 7: spending your whole life raising animals so the country can
- 41:33Speaker 7: eat and working your backside off is.
- 41:35Speaker 3: A horrible, horrible thing.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Kathy, I think we did wake up on the wrong
- 41:37Speaker 2: side of the bed this morning.
- 41:39Speaker 6: I just can't believe farmers work so hard to feed everyone.
- 41:42Speaker 6: It's just such a disgrace.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Where do the vegetables come from?
- 41:44Speaker 6: Yeah, very funny.
- 41:45Speaker 8: You.
- 41:45Speaker 6: I want to lean on you.
- 41:47Speaker 7: You are someone who spent a lot of time in politics.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:51Speaker 7: No, he spent a lot of time reporting on politics.
- 41:52Speaker 7: You understand it very well. You produce a morning show,
- 41:55Speaker 7: which is all, you know, centered around that. I want
- 41:57Speaker 7: you to explain to me and to listeners who don't
- 42:00Speaker 7: understand whether this is right or appropriate. Donald Trump has
- 42:05Speaker 7: made this announcement that he will pay, you know, voters.
- 42:10Speaker 5: $ 5, 000.
- 42:10Speaker 7: To be used in the United States of America if
- 42:12Speaker 7: the Republicans.
- 42:13Speaker 6: Remain in however that works.
- 42:15Speaker 3: The midterm elections.
- 42:15Speaker 6: The midterm election, exactly. So- Sam, is that possible? Is
- 42:19Speaker 6: that legal? Has anything like that ever been done?
- 42:23Speaker 2: Interesting to know if it's legal or not, because we've
- 42:25Speaker 2: had the sort of handouts here in Australia during COVID,
- 42:28Speaker 2: during the global financial crisis. But to come out and
- 42:31Speaker 2: say in an election campaign, if my team gets in,
- 42:35Speaker 2: you're all going to receive $ 5, 000, it is complete bullshit.
- 42:42Speaker 2: It's such a bribe.
- 42:43Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. So what's the legislation like?
- 42:46Speaker 2: I wouldn't know the in-depths of that in the United States,
- 42:49Speaker 2: but to just come out and say that if you
- 42:51Speaker 2: vote for me, you'll get $ 5, 000 in your pocket. And
- 42:54Speaker 2: let's be honest, how many things has Donald Trump said
- 42:57Speaker 2: will happen, would happen, has happened? Do you really believe
- 43:00Speaker 2: he's going to send you out $ 5, 000 if his team
- 43:02Speaker 2: gets in?
- 43:04Speaker 6: No, but I'm saying, yeah, so why can't you do that?
- 43:08Speaker 3: Well, it's a straight-out bribe.
- 43:11Speaker 6: Well, it does. It doesn't pass the pub test.
- 43:12Speaker 3: Not at all.
- 43:13Speaker 6: Can we quickly go to Steve at South Plimpton?
- 43:15Speaker 3: You've got 10 seconds, Steve. Go for it.
- 43:18Speaker 15: If I'm stuck on that island, I'm taking one thing.
- 43:21Speaker 5: It's a sunlight phone to get my arse out of there.
- 43:23Speaker 6: No, you've got to be there for 12 months, Steve.
- 43:25Speaker 7: You're breaking your arm, brother.
- 43:26Speaker 8: No, no.
- 43:28Speaker 11: I don't want to be there.
- 43:29Speaker 6: Well, you've got two spots left. You can take me,
- 43:31Speaker 6: and we can just hang out.
- 43:34Speaker 7: Oh, what about our boat?
