• 1:57
  Speaker 2: her netbal career as a goalkeeper.

  Speaker 2: So she's always been quite down to earth and at

  Speaker 2: spoken about her on the podcast before. She is apparently

  Speaker 4: will she be crossed that you didn't tell her what
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: you're up to?
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Oh? Probably a bit of both. And like, I can't
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: keep a secret, Like I'm the worst keeper of secret.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: So she'll be shocked that I haven't just blabbed it
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: out to her, But she'll be stoked. I think the
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: fact that I'm sitting here talking to you guys, she'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: think that's pretty cool.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Well, we're starved too.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: She may have warned you if you did tell her
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and don't do it. Yeah, exactly, girls, that's not a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: safe space.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Has off season trading you?
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been good. It's been busy. I feel like
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: often you think off season is going to be this
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: nice relaxing break, laying on the beach. But I've jam
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: packed it in and it's flown by. But it's been
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: really nice just to be able to spend time with family,
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: get a bit of UNI work done. What are you startying,
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: I'm doing biomedicine.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, so I did.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: I've done two subjects this semester, which doesn't sound like
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: a lot, but for me it's huge. I'm usually doing
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: one subject.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's a lot when you have a time career.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but no, it's been nice. Lots of walks with
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: the dog, which I don't usually get to do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: And did I see on your Gram that you went
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: to Tazzy?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I was in Tazzia.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: That was Tazzy? What was that for? Because Julie Fitzgerald
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: was there as well?
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Wash it? I know, maybe I thought it was I
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: had no idea she was even there, so it goes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's not many people in Tazzy, so I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: surprised I didn't run into Yeah. No, it was lovely,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: just a family holiday. My sister lives in Queensland and
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: Mum and Dad are out at home. I'm in the city,
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: so it was just an opportunity to get all together,
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: you know, no work, no, no live scanning, the way,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: just go up for the long weekend. So it was
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: really good.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be awkward though if you were caught
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: by your teammates. Holiday with the coach.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Might not be interesting.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You mentioned his sister, now, did she?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Am I writing remembering that she had a contract or
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: as a training partner with Lightning?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, that's correct. She well, she was with the
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Giants for a season and then she must have got
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: sick of me so headed up to Queensland and training
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: up with the Lightning. So she loves it there. She
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: gets to train with Carkna and Steph Wood like it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: just a dream for her. Natalie, Hi, Natalie, Yeah, okay.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Can we just point out that Amy also called her
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Steph Wood one?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is true. Catherine has a frame lighting for
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: messing up well occasionally, and.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I appreciate animals sister that she because there's nothing worse.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: And when sisters or twins are in the same team. Yes,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: and they come on court and you're like, oh, hang
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: on a minute, I know it's a slider.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Jody Anne Ward came to our team this year and
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: she didn't even know there was two of us. She
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: just thought that I was like able to play wing
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: defense and goal attack and it was only like pre season.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Were chatting and she was like, no way, So there
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: you go.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I call that Lindsay Lohan movie once. Yeah, are you
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the same?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's upstanding. So has net debut yet in super Netbork.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: No, she hasn't. She's played a few preseason games but
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: yet today boo. She sat on the bench one game
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: in Sydney as well, which was pretty cool. So we
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: want to watch that. And I've never been so excited
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: just to watch someone sit down and just clap their hands.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: But like, I really hope she gets an opportunity because
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: she's so good and she's so talented. But yeah, she
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: works really hard, so that might come soon.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So is she younger or older?
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: She's two minutes older than me, so she'll make sure
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: that she reminds people she's older.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Oh you're actually twins? Yeah, oh my god, this will
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: be a nightmare for you if they're a team.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Here's a nightmare.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Are you identical twins?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, Yeah, it's not a Julie still calls
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: me Nat and that hasn't been at Giants for like
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: three years.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But we're talking about Julie Fitzgerald your.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Mom My mom is aware who we are. But Julie, yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: we'll be in a drill and Natalie go here on.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: I yeah, yeah. To be fair though, Julie calls me
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: like Joe or or Jamie as well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: So I've just rolled with kids and I just through
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: all the dame whatever. You know who you are and
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm shouting at you.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you definitely know who she's shouting at.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So I mean you and your sister.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Obviously you love your Eddie, Your sister is a training
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: partner for lightning, and you're obviously a superstar with giants.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: But you had options, didn't you.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: You guys also like got selected in the Australian Schools
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: team all Australian Schools teams for a f l W.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: So did you ever feel they know, talking about overag
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I was only ever good at one sport. It's a
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: jealous of anyone who's remotely competent too. So did you
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: actually have to make a decision or was it always
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: you were going to go with Netbor?
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: No, definitely wasn't wasn't clear. I think growing up I
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: loved netbull. I always wanted to be a professional netballer,
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: and then AFL kind of came came along, and I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: super lucky that I grew up in the generation where
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: women's sport is huge, and like the AFLW was kind
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: of coming in as I was a kid, so I
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: had those options. Started playing footy and I loved it,
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: and I probably didn't realize that I was good at netball,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: so I thought football was going to be my where
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I wanted to be a professional athlete. So yeah, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: guess just played both as much as I could, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: everyone always said you're going to have to make a
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: decision eventually, but I just honestly loved both, so I
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: was like, I'll never have to choose, like I'll just
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: always play both. But as you move up the levels,
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: you kind of have to have to choose, just based
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: off like commitment and training and traveling. So I was
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: probably going to choose footy. And then I was like
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: enough to be picked up by the giants in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: academy or like reserve grade team, so I played A
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: and L and I was quite young, so I knew
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: that opportunity I had to take with two hands, so
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: I gave footy break. Yeah what, Yeah, I like we
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: did that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Nice. No, No, I thought I would just stop.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Really contributed. I know that's great and it's really great.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: No, I honestly thought I would put it on hold
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: for twelve months and then come back to it or
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: six months come back to it. But then the following year,
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Julie signed me as a training partner then in the team.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: So I've never gone back to footage. But I see
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: the girls running on the on the oval. Obviously they're
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: training at the same facilities, usn't I always have that
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: That looks like fun, but very much more fun.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, on that then, though, because you're not dead yet obviously,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: and Ash Brazil and Verity.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: She's not a doctor, okay, so.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Just nowhere near it. And Verity Simmons. Do you take
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: a bit of you know, encouragement from that because they
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: actually finished their whole careers neble done, like they're old
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: athletes and now they've gone to the AFL.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Is that something you think about?
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean never say never. I actually went to
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: the Giants game and they played the Eagles. So Veritis
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Simmons was playing there and I was watching her, and yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: I think so I think that'd be good fun. Why not?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You're in the right club exactly right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, most of our staff work across both programs and yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: you never know, but I think for now my focus
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: is Netbull. But yeah, I think why not?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: What happened in your family? Like so they're just the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: two of you simply yeah yeah, okay, so what did
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: your parents feed you? And were you in some type
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of training academy from birth? Like this is we're going
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to make like the Russians.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: There no, no, no, no, honestly, like my mom played
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: netble but and she'll be listening and she'll hate me
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: for saying this, but like she wasn't very good, like
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: she just played. I know, I'm sorry, mum. But and
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: then my dad like he's got the classic like I
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: would have played first grade football if I didn't do
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: knee kind of thing, you know.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: My uncles were always sporty, but like just a normal
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: sporting Australian family, I think where we just grew up
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: with sports. So we watched netball, we played netble, we umpired,
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: we coached, We same with football athletics. Like whatever we did,
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: we just went in hard. And Dad was on the barbecue.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Mum was always there, so I guess when you're just
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: surrounded by it, you've got no choice. And I don't know.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: We're super competitive, so that probably makes us want to
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: be better than each other. And then eventually that's so.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Do you just not ever play Monopoly?
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: No, like we do and it never ends well, like
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: it's so bad?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Did Dad pull out that? Oh? If I didn't bust
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: my knee, I would have won that game?
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Was it for the older knee reconstruction? I would have
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: got mayfair Damn?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly though, because you're only like you're trying to
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: not lose.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point of it. There's no way you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: can act like I just hate and I will.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Say, going back to your mum, Julie, what an excellent
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: piece of time management.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: One pregnancy, two keys.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Done exactly one twenty first one eighteenth, one lot of
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: driving lessons like she knows each boob.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Although I might me yes, I thought at one stage
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I wanted twins, and now I go I just I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: couldn't have hacked it. I'm not. I was not cut out.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I was barely cut out for one baby at the time.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: My mum's a legend. So thanks Julie.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Good work. We're surrounded by Julie's.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I know everywhere. I have to be careful when I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: emailing like Julie Fitzgerald not to send it to Julie
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Slager or vice versa.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, could come on, just always save it to draft.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Can you please do my washing?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, Julie Fitzgerald, can you pick me up? I'm pissed
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: and at two am? Apparently that's part of the deal.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Well, it is if she likes you or not. You
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: know when you are drunk. Julie Fitzgeral's an excellent person
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: to call. But the professional era things might she might
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: have changed.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she will know fastle hill for you if you
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: need it to.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: She might have.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Rided up to your bullshit too. And the next generation
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you've got it harder. Hey, we have to put you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: into Coxy's hot box now, which.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Hang on before we do, can I ask another question?
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: It's a question about the Jueliers, right, So you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I just love like we Catherine and I do consider
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: like Julia Fitzgerald as a mother figure and you've got
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: two Jueli's as a mother figure. But I was thinking
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: about your mum as you were growing up, and you
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: said that, Yeah, your mum and your dad were always there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Your mom's a massive Nettie fan, and we know that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: she's a dribbler, so you've got to say kind things.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: But I'm always fascinated when you speak to athletes about
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: how push you their parents were when they were younger,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: and whether your parents sort of sat back and went, look,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: we'll support you all the way, or whether they.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Pushed you along, like how would you and.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Then there'd be a lot of feech Natalie more than you.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a favorite. It's okay to have a favorite.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But can you tell us what your mum was like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and your dad? What's your dad's name, Damien? So what Jewels?
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: All my friends call him Damo and he loves it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: This is real quick and I'm like, it's just embarrassing dad.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: If you played that, it's very cool.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what how are Jewels and Dama as you
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: were growing up, Like, were they massively invested or did
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: they sit back.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: A little bit and let you guys do what you
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: wanted to do.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: I think they were. They were invested in the fact
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: that they just wanted the best for us, But they
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: never ever pushed us. They never said that you have
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: to be a professional athlete like I think they just yeah,
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: they just wanted us to be happy. And for Nat
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: and I, playing sport was our happy place. So they
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: were going to do everything they could to provide that
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: for us. But yeah, they were more than happy. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: guess if we I did tennis for a little bit
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: and they took me to tennis, and then when I
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: was done with that, they're okay, like, what do you
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: want to do now? My sister did gymnastics and that
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: wasn't for me. Like they honestly just were there for
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: us whatever we wanted to do. And I think that's
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: why Nat and I have succeeded because they they never
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: put any pressure on us. They never expected anything of us.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: They just honest they wanted us to be happy. And
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: and you play your best when you're happy. I think
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: that goes without saying. So, yeah, I think they are
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: very grateful for them, And yeah, I can't complain. They
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: they gave us the best environment to succeed without without
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: putting any pressure on.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: So AND's apologies for the name because we kind of
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: didn't know what to call this, but it's quick fire.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: There's a few quick fire questions.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Is if it turns into longer answers, that's completely fine.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, are you ready for Coxies hot Box?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I really think we need T shirts. If we'd say,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: can I have one?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I've been in and all I got was this lousy
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: and all I got was dribble.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: We're still working on merch ideas. But when marketing.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Wizs, I'm so sorry.
• 18:01

• 18:02
  Speaker 1: This is this is pretty much how we roll.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: It's never any more professional than this.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: This T shirt has to happen. Okay, Oh that was brilliant.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: There is a cream for after you get out of
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: coffee top box too, by the way.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: A right, okay, so should be drink?
• 18:18

• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Order a mocker?

• 18:28
  Speaker 2: twenty five.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I do like Laties, but I just enjoyed Mockers. So yeah.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: The girls tried to get that out of it, force
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: that out of it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, the onlyson I even started drinking them was
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: because I went to I was in the Giants A
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: and L squad and I was like sixteen. Never had
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: a coffee in my life and I sat on a manger,
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: hating every sip of it. But I just had to
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: be cool with the older girls.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Sollas did to our team one time early days, Kim
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Green and Vanessa where when we went out for dinner,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: would have their steak well done.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: I haven't well done those I.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Give me judgment. We're all about judgments. Stop pretending we're
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: not judging.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I wanted to come back. She didn't. She whapped that
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: out of them.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: And now Kim Green will always tell the story of
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: how grateful she is to lise Ella's because now she
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: has her steak medium and she loves it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Foo it's meant to be cooked. Though food is meant
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: to be it's not right not and.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: So so amy. I'm going to call here that I'm
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: married to a farmer. We grow beautiful beef.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It makes me.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: It brings me to tears, the thought of somebody turning
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: my beautiful beef into some charred, dead remains of something
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: that used to be delicious.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So I hope that makes you feel guilty.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I say, my father in law used to come to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: our house and have a glass of red wine, half
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a glass of red wine and put lemonade in it
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and it would dry. And then after a while I thought, whatever,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: have it the way you wanted. So I just gave
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: him obviously crappy red wine after that. And it's like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: if you're going to have it, have it the way
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: you want it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: You're losing the opportunity, right, So I'm not going to lie.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: I used to have my meat well done. And Keiley
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Devy for the Diamonds player, yep, she will.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Actually situation for the name No Dribble.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Inspiration for the name No Dribble.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: But we had a tour and after a tour to Europe,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: we went in a little van and drove around France.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: There was a few of us and she basically ran
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: the tour because she was a massive foodie.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And we went to this.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Restaurant in Paris and I ordered steak and I said
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: well done and the way to pull the face, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: then came back to about two minutes later and said,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: and I won't do a French accent, okay.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And said no, no, no.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: The chef says, you know you won't cook the steak
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: well done, and so I had to have a medium,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: which was great, and I was like, this is a revelation,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and so I thought I needed to pass it forward,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: and so we educated Kim Green, and I don't know
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: we ever got to Prattley, did we get to that
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: point where she medium?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But I just do me a favor. I'm actually I'm not.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not your teammateing more so, I can't bully you
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: into this, but can you please, can you please just
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: have a steak cooked medium and come back to it
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: and let ustone what you think.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Surely she's allowed to into it and do a medium? Well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the band aid off.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: I can do that for the for the sake of
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: the next generation of Netballs and next holidays. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: our next holiday. Yeah, we're off.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: And then when you're fifty, you'll tell the story of
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: how Lije has talked you into it. But then how
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: you had a heap of teammates who because you'll be
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: a giant when you're thirty five, and you took them out,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: you said to them, you have to eat it medium
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: and like.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And then this, this.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Beautiful tradition of perfectly cooked meat gets passed.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Along from one generation.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Listen to the farm wife.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And I will say she's gone from Coxies hot box
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to Ellis's.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: We'll get back to the lemon.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Summer or winter summer.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, if you had a choice between a cock, well,
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: let's just go between wine and champagne.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Oh, it depends what type of event, but I'm going
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: to say champagne.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love the the funniest teammatee.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You're glad to say yourself.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, I wouldn't do that. I'd get bullied for the
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: rest of my life just so much. I'm going to
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: say Jodian Ward, but like accidentally, she's.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did see a bit blode? Yeah?
• 22:37

• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Never?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you were good at that?
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I went all right because running around like I
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: do the three K and I was okay. But I
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: add some jumps. It kind of evened out so I
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: could get away with being a little bit slower but
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: I could jump, so yeah, I did that for ages. Yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: fifteen hundred.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And three quater on the other side.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's I think there's like a couple without water
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: and then there's one hurdle jump every lap.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're running with squelchy sneakers. Yeah, must be annoying.
• 23:28

  Speaker 6: Next to all the crazy All right, what are you
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: binging right now?
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: I don't really watch TV, so nothing.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, great, team mate.
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Oh it was Amy Palmento. But she's she's left us.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Maybe Joe Harden's locker is so messy. She's got stuff everywhere,
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: so you say her.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: But okay, my CD is kicking and I'll come and
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: clean them for her next week. Do you have any tattoo?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Do you have any ink?
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: No?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: The clean skinto.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Favorite music genre? Are you into cow techno?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: What is tech? It's a hybrid between country music and techno.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: It's new. I'm not sure it'll catch on.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: No, I'm into country music.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, god damn it with the country music.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: That's it? Yeah, us, well done.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: There's no fail though, is there?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: So she survived?
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: To people come out dead or something? Also Okay, I'm.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Fruscinated that that Joe has has an untidy locker. She
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: saydsarly a woman who is in control of everything, especially
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: when I was watching her be the assistant coach in
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: England running that show.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, well, she has a messy car and
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: she recently changed her car over.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It was easier to sell it than clean it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: No, no, she gets given come on down. But yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: so she just took everything, like her whole boot and
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: just put it in the chain room. She had this
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: massive trolley. Her locker was filled field of staff. I
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: think because she wants a clean house, so she thinks
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: if it's not in her house she likes. She's got
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: sheets that she bought and they're the wrong size and
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: they're on sales, so she can't return them. But she
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: doesn't want to take them home because you're get in
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: trouble for buying them.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Send them to Lizella's who'll put them on her desk
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: behind her there for three months.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: I took that purchase to Saint Vincent de Paul because
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I missed of date to return them. So there's a
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: beautiful care of Jean's with the swing tag on them
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: at Vinnie's in Ballo if you're interested.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: Because I can see plenty of Ballona grannies rocking around
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: in your so leather pants.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Well, given the myst sixteen year old niece thought that
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: should only wear them if it was dressed up.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the grannies anyway.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Besides the point, hey, Amy, tell us about the Giants preseason, Like,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: given that you had like such a heartbreaking into last
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: season with so many games that you lost just by
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: a couple nothing, Carolyn's not quite over it yet, does
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: that drive you in the preseason or do you forget
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: about it?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And I just think this is a new yi.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, you never forget about it. I think it definitely
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: drives you. And there was sparked you know, conversations, and
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: I guess towards the end of the season, what we're
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: going to do different, how we're going to be better.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: And you look at the league, it's so close and
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: it's like these tiny, tiny little things you need to
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: do to get over the top of your opposition. So
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: I don't think we need a revolutionize what we do.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: It's just about little kind of finishing touches and yeah,
