- 0:42Speaker 1: That's an issue that you and I both have obviously
- 0:44Speaker 1: interviewing plenty of people on the weekend, as you will
- 0:47Speaker 1: be and hopefully with the lifting of these restrictions at
- 0:51Speaker 1: midday today contact sport.
- 0:53Speaker 3: We might be back and yeah, I hope So there
- 0:56Speaker 3: was a sockers on is it?
- 0:58Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Yeah, we're back. We're back, you have to be back. Yeah,
- 1:00Speaker 3: it was. It was actually funny.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I interviewed Ralph Clark on the weekend Saint Mary's player,
- 1:05Speaker 2: and he was going down to play in Alice Springs
- 1:08Speaker 2: and he actually got down there and then they anthonon
- 1:11Speaker 2: t said no you can't. Oh you can play in
- 1:14Speaker 2: a mask, and he went, well, I'm playing at the March.
- 1:16Speaker 2: So I interviewed him and then he called me back
- 1:18Speaker 2: and put it to where and then he called me
- 1:19Speaker 2: back half an hour later and said I got a
- 1:21Speaker 2: plane a mask. And then I was like, that's pretty funny.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And then and then he rang me back again and says,
- 1:26Speaker 2: now I can't play. So it was and there was
- 1:27Speaker 2: a lot of players that traveled down from Darwin to play.
- 1:29Speaker 4: I couldn't actually play.
- 1:30Speaker 3: He couldn't play.
- 1:31Speaker 4: It's a real shame.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yeah, But hopefully nurln T will be back on this weekend.
- 1:35Speaker 2: They've skipped, they're going to skip the last round the
- 1:37Speaker 2: sort of the final ladder positions sort of already sorted,
- 1:40Speaker 2: so they're just going to rip straight into the final.
- 1:42Speaker 2: So hopefully we'll have nrln T on this weekend and
- 1:45Speaker 2: we'll have a look at that on the weekend.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get it over then with.
- 1:48Speaker 4: I think you know, it goes without saying.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We love our sports and we want to make sure
- 1:51Speaker 1: that everybody's able to sort of you know, to get
- 1:54Speaker 1: back into them. It seems odd when you've got half
- 1:56Speaker 1: the sports playing half of them don't then you know,
- 1:58Speaker 1: even at swimming the other day, at swimming trying with
- 2:00Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to wear your mask when
- 2:02Speaker 1: you're sitting on the side, but then if you go
- 2:04Speaker 1: for a walk around the center, you've got to have
- 2:05Speaker 1: your mask on. Some of it just seems a little
- 2:08Speaker 1: bit odd, and I think that all of us just
- 2:10Speaker 1: want to make sure that we can get back to
- 2:12Speaker 1: normality given the fact that there's no COVID in the community.
- 2:14Speaker 2: No, that's right, and it's it's and it's it's bad
- 2:17Speaker 2: for like, you know, industries such as gyms and stuff.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I mean, there's like you know, on the weekend, you
- 2:21Speaker 2: just got to go around and you say, everyone's there's
- 2:23Speaker 2: a million people everywhere, but you can't go to the gym.
- 2:26Speaker 3: But anyway, hopefully the gyms will be back open.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Today and those contact sports back into it.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Yeah, really getting up close and personal and a bit
- 2:34Speaker 2: of sweat and saliva bouncing around.
- 2:37Speaker 4: When you think about it like that, Oh God, I
- 2:40Speaker 4: think who's been sacked?
- 2:42Speaker 1: Is it?
- 2:44Speaker 2: I've been sacked as the cart and coach, which we
- 2:47Speaker 2: all knew was coming. But the way it Carlton have
- 2:49Speaker 2: handled it has been really pretty one double five poor. I
- 2:52Speaker 2: think they they sort of essentially they said, oh, we're
- 2:56Speaker 2: still doing the review. This was earlier in the week
- 2:57Speaker 2: and in that time approach ellis to Clarkson, who's just
- 3:00Speaker 2: wrapped up at Hawthorne, and he's essentially said, the way
- 3:05Speaker 2: you guys are operating, I don't want to go anywhere
- 3:07Speaker 2: near you. And so therefore bang next day, David Tagg's
- 3:12Speaker 2: been sacked, which like it was always going to happen.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And I feel really bad for David teg because he's
- 3:16Speaker 2: actually a really good coach and he's had two years.
- 3:19Speaker 2: He served two years out of a three year contract.
- 3:21Speaker 2: But in those two years, like he's had an average list.
- 3:23Speaker 2: He's been playing. You know, they can't have been playing
- 3:25Speaker 2: during COVID, which all teams have. But he's a new
- 3:28Speaker 2: fresh coach, like give him a crack.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Oh it makes it hard, And I think that's the
- 3:32Speaker 1: it's always a difficult thing, you know, like it's always
- 3:35Speaker 1: a difficult thing, I think when you talk about coaches
- 3:37Speaker 1: at that elite level, because it is really it's so
- 3:39Speaker 1: much easier to sack at coach then to remove half
- 3:41Speaker 1: the team, isn't it. It simply cannot do that.
- 3:43Speaker 3: That's right.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And it comes down to, and the whispers are around
- 3:46Speaker 2: the industry is that the Carlton like footy department stink
- 3:50Speaker 2: like you know, let's that's the foot and the board
- 3:53Speaker 2: like you know what. They've been making these decisions for years.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And you look at David Tagg's record, and they compared
- 3:59Speaker 2: David teague records and coaches like Naming Hardwick who has
- 4:02Speaker 2: been obviously a successful coach at Richmond Alistair Clarkson when
- 4:05Speaker 2: they were under fifty games. David Tig's actually got a
- 4:08Speaker 2: better record than dem and I think so he sort
- 4:11Speaker 2: of unfair.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty bad, as you know, I don't know
- 4:16Speaker 1: a huge amount about the coaching stuff for the various
- 4:18Speaker 1: AFL teams, but Max my producers chimed in and said
- 4:21Speaker 1: that they should have notified Teague earlier. And what it
- 4:24Speaker 1: comes down to, I think treating people respectfully no matter
- 4:27Speaker 1: what code you're talking about.
- 4:28Speaker 3: He's been treated really poorly.
- 4:30Speaker 2: And Cartoner are laughing stuff now, which I love because
- 4:33Speaker 2: we hate Carlton.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Katie, well, I don't know if I do.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the different teams to know
- 4:38Speaker 1: who I do, even who I dined.
- 4:40Speaker 3: An AFL team. No, I don't really get on the
- 4:42Speaker 3: Bombers bandwagon. We're in the finals on Sunday year.
- 4:45Speaker 4: But whoever's winning on board, I'm not like that. I
- 4:49Speaker 4: usually like to cheer for the underdog.
- 4:51Speaker 3: We won't go very far.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Nah, that's all right, and we are the underdogs and
- 4:54Speaker 2: we play the docks.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about the Strike League. The T twenty
- 4:59Speaker 1: final is on Friday night. I know Maxie, my young producer,
- 5:02Speaker 1: waiting to see exactly what happens I think in tonight's game.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, tonight's game.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yes.
- 5:07Speaker 2: So last night Maxie said the Desert Blaze they played
- 5:11Speaker 2: Southern Storm from memory, commentating it someone should I should remember,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I should know, Katie.
- 5:18Speaker 3: But no, so they actually went down. They were well
- 5:20Speaker 3: and truly in control. Earlier piece.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Actually, Maxie come to the craze. I was like, here
- 5:24Speaker 2: we go, we're on here. The big boy will start
- 5:26Speaker 2: flipping the batter round. He went out for a few runs. Yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 2: he's stunk it up last night. But I've been I've
- 5:31Speaker 2: been calling all his I've been calling all these games
- 5:34Speaker 2: actually this week, and he's actually he's a very good
- 5:37Speaker 2: young cricketer and he's a wicket keeper and he's very
- 5:39Speaker 2: handy with the gloves.
- 5:40Speaker 1: There you go go, Max, He's very hand He is
- 5:43Speaker 1: a producer as well.
- 5:44Speaker 2: He's getting he gets the job done on and off,
- 5:46Speaker 2: feel Katie, which is what I love about the young man.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Well, so now it's going to be interesting.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Obviously Friday night is the is the final, but we're
- 5:54Speaker 1: still yet to find out who is going to be
- 5:56Speaker 1: playing in that final. Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 3: So last night's team, the Southern Storm.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Yeah, they go straight through to the Granny Friday night
- 6:04Speaker 2: and Maxi's Desert players will be looking to see what
- 6:07Speaker 2: happens tonight and that will determine whether they go through
- 6:09Speaker 2: to tomorrow night.
- 6:10Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what we've been down.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I've obviously been calling the games on the NTA News
- 6:15Speaker 2: this week and it's if you like, if you're sitting
- 6:18Speaker 2: at home and got nothing on, go and watch a
- 6:20Speaker 2: cricket because it's a real high quality cricket and there's
- 6:22Speaker 2: like there's big bash players getting around, there's ball zinging
- 6:25Speaker 2: past Maxi's chin there one hundred and forty k is
- 6:27Speaker 2: an hour.
- 6:28Speaker 3: It's it's unreal. That's so good.
- 6:30Speaker 2: And that's the last few nights have been bloody beautiful gaety,
- 6:33Speaker 2: like the weather's been spot on the money and.
- 6:36Speaker 3: You just you know, get down there and have it.
- 6:37Speaker 2: They've got quite a nice range in the bar s
- 6:41Speaker 2: order departments, so you can get there and kick the
- 6:43Speaker 2: heels up.
- 6:43Speaker 3: You can even take a banana land cheat because it's all.
- 6:45Speaker 1: So just fantastic to go and see, you know, a
- 6:47Speaker 1: great caliber of sport happening here in the here in
- 6:50Speaker 1: the top end.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:51Speaker 2: And one of actually one of the local boys, I
- 6:52Speaker 2: can't remember off the top of my head, but he
- 6:54Speaker 2: actually got a content. He's been playing so well against
- 6:56Speaker 2: these other players that have traveled up and he's he's
- 6:58Speaker 2: got a contract from Hobart Hurricanes. There you go, So
- 7:03Speaker 2: the Australia is watching and it's a really good platform
- 7:06Speaker 2: because obviously, you know, you can't travel over to the
