0:01
Speaker 1: You're listening to a DM podcast.
0:03
Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
0:04
Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No Dribble.
0:07
Speaker 3: Don't tell them.
0:19
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to No Dribble, the podcast where
0:22
Speaker 2: we talk about netball, where we talk about a whole
0:24
Speaker 2: lot of other things, like Taylor Swift.
0:25
Speaker 4: I'm feeling twenty two today because it's in our twenty
0:28
Speaker 4: second episode. Isn't it incredible?
0:31
Speaker 3: Leave that?
0:32
Speaker 1: I know.
0:32
Speaker 2: It's sad though, because it seems like one of us
0:34
Speaker 2: has become homeless in the time that we've been recording episode,
0:38
Speaker 2: And shockingly.
0:39
Speaker 1: It's not the one that we thought would put.
0:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have had my money on you. Yeah,
0:42
Speaker 2: surely too.
0:46
Speaker 3: Please where are you? Oh? Thanks? You know what twenty
0:49
Speaker 3: two does this mean?
0:50
Speaker 5: I was about to say, do we need to think
0:52
Speaker 5: about finding a partner and settling down and having a family?
0:56
Speaker 3: Is that what you're doing? You're twenty two?
0:57
Speaker 4: God lord, No, I'm forty eight.
1:00
Speaker 1: I haven't done any of that.
1:01
Speaker 5: Yes, we are wondering when you might grow up, Catherine.
1:05
Speaker 5: Now it's not looking like to be anytime. Said, Look,
1:07
Speaker 5: I'm currently in my caravan in Foster in New South
1:10
Speaker 5: Wales with Foster with an R. I did put on
1:13
Speaker 5: the socials that it was Foster flstr and a few
1:16
Speaker 5: Foster locals did put me right, So it's.
1:19
Speaker 3: Foster with an R.
1:19
Speaker 5: I've been here for the weekend to watch my daughter
1:23
Speaker 5: play in the rugby sevens New Southwest Championships. So it's
1:26
Speaker 5: been a great weekend and the sun has finally come out.
1:29
Speaker 5: We spent a little bit of time standing on the
1:31
Speaker 5: sidelines in the rain and I was lamenting the fact
1:34
Speaker 5: that I didn't tell my daughter to just stick to
1:35
Speaker 5: indoor sports.
1:37
Speaker 1: At least it's warm.
1:39
Speaker 5: Well ish, there's a little bit of cold going on,
1:41
Speaker 5: but no, it's been a great weekend. I have discovered
1:44
Speaker 5: that well, when I have my kids, I didn't think
1:47
Speaker 5: that I would be a really cool parent on the sidelines.
1:50
Speaker 3: Won my World Cups.
1:51
Speaker 5: I don't need to do things like gariously through them,
1:53
Speaker 5: and largely I'm very contained on the sideline at netball.
1:56
Speaker 3: I think a because of won word World Cups, and
1:58
Speaker 3: also because I know that.
1:59
Speaker 4: I need that. Twice I've been on air for I
2:02
Speaker 4: think two minutes.
2:02
Speaker 1: But when you've won one, you do you drop it
2:05
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Yeah, and I will know.
2:09
Speaker 5: I feel like we probably haven't dropped them enough when
2:11
Speaker 5: new Cats that we won World Cups. So but then
2:14
Speaker 5: I've discovered that I am an obnoxious sideline parent in Rugby.
2:18
Speaker 1: Obnoxious. Now that's an interesting choice of descriptor why obnoxious?
2:24
Speaker 5: Well, I'm very loud, and I realized very early my
2:27
Speaker 5: daughter plays far North Coast, and I realized that I
2:30
Speaker 5: could say, come on, everyone's sane.
2:35
Speaker 1: Obnoxious is not what I would take from that I
2:38
Speaker 1: was listening to.
2:39
Speaker 2: I was listening to the conversation we had last week
2:42
Speaker 2: Cat and there was something that we were talking about
2:43
Speaker 2: with the diamonds and the rass and I had to
2:45
Speaker 2: listen to it twice because you said they were far
2:48
Speaker 2: karma and it's like, what much karma?
2:54
Speaker 5: I heard that too, And so once I realized that
2:57
Speaker 5: I could say that, and I got some giggles from
2:59
Speaker 5: the parents, I couldn't stop it because I had an
3:01
Speaker 5: audience and we all thought it was very, very funny.
3:05
Speaker 3: And then I infected the rest of the Barons and
3:06
Speaker 3: we were all saying it.
3:07
Speaker 5: So but like you know, there was one point will
3:10
Speaker 5: Evelyn was playing in a quarter final and it was
3:12
Speaker 5: for us the opportunity to go into the top four
3:14
Speaker 5: of the state.
3:15
Speaker 3: And there was a great game. It was far North
3:18
Speaker 3: Coast and Penris and.
3:20
Speaker 4: They must have any extraordinary coach.
3:22
Speaker 1: That's a whole lot off and cs in that combo.
3:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, but and the pay were awesome actually, and they
3:29
Speaker 5: won and made it through. But like I was, I
3:32
Speaker 5: was like, come on, raft, but you're handing in pocket
3:34
Speaker 5: and I'm like, am I like, just so now it's awful.
3:38
Speaker 1: Now correct me if I'm wrong. But Evelyn so didn't
3:41
Speaker 1: get through to the final. Do you think there's a
3:43
Speaker 1: part of her that threw the game because she was
3:45
Speaker 1: a little over her.
3:49
Speaker 5: She said to me at one point, because mum, your
3:51
Speaker 5: voice does carry, Like yeah, I know, sorry, but yeah,
3:55
Speaker 5: so but you know, a little funny little story.
3:57
Speaker 3: So Matthew is the coach and our very game.
4:01
Speaker 5: They were playing off for seventh and eighth in the state,
4:03
Speaker 5: which is just amazing because two weeks ago we didn't
4:05
Speaker 5: have enough players.
4:06
Speaker 3: It's so cool and today we're playing for like and
4:09
Speaker 3: this morning.
4:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, like we the best we could have finished today
4:12
Speaker 5: was fifth, The worst was eight, and we finished eight.
4:14
Speaker 5: But in the playoff today Matthew was the coach of
4:18
Speaker 5: one team and Matthew has played for the Warrors Eyes
4:21
Speaker 5: and the coach of the other team was Matt Burke
4:24
Speaker 5: has hey, he's got a daughter, and we were just going,
4:28
Speaker 5: look it new too, like you both got these and
4:31
Speaker 5: we were just laughing because Matthew was a forward, so
4:33
Speaker 5: his team is really good at the hit the ball up.
4:35
Speaker 5: Everyone plays in the forwards in sevens, you know, like
4:39
Speaker 5: just like a dad. And then Matt Burke's team are
4:41
Speaker 5: good at doing the hair or well, they were the
4:44
Speaker 5: pretty but they also like they very slick in the
4:47
Speaker 5: back line, and they were the only team who kicked
4:49
Speaker 5: in general play. And that was funny math that I
4:52
Speaker 5: was talking afterwards, and both of us said at the
4:54
Speaker 5: same time, of course Burkey's team kicks, because that's exactly
4:57
Speaker 5: how he played so well.
4:59
Speaker 3: I thought, it's just so beautiful.
5:00
Speaker 5: I was staying there on one side, looking across at
5:03
Speaker 5: both of these coaches, both of whom had played for
5:06
Speaker 5: the Warrantors.
5:08
Speaker 3: Matt Burke obviously had a really great career with the Wallabies.
5:10
Speaker 5: My Matthew had played Australian twenty ones and here they
5:14
Speaker 5: are this new breed, like with this new breed of play,
5:17
Speaker 5: which is women's rugby, and they're both coaching their girls
5:20
Speaker 5: and super passionate and super into it, so it was
5:22
Speaker 5: actually a really nice way to finish.
5:24
Speaker 1: It's a good point you make though, because they probably
5:26
Speaker 1: had girls thirteen years ago. I'm like, oh, they're not
5:29
Speaker 1: going to play rugby and we won't get to, you know,
5:32
Speaker 1: pass on our sport that we love. But it turns
5:34
Speaker 1: out it is such a popular sport now and they've
5:36
Speaker 1: ended up doing exactly that they would have never been
5:39
Speaker 1: years pictured. They'd be coaching their daughter's playing round.
5:41
Speaker 2: If you want to have a child with a successful
5:43
Speaker 2: rugby career in Australia, pray for a girl.
5:45
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, so true to And again anyway, we didn't
5:51
Speaker 5: even care about that rugby. We just cared about this rugby.
5:53
Speaker 5: So it was great and it was like there was
5:55
Speaker 5: boys tournament, girl's tournament. Although I fear my son has
5:58
Speaker 5: got the lizing cath Jean because he's here watching his
6:01
Speaker 5: eight and he saw that there's an under eleventh team
6:04
Speaker 5: and he's got like all weekend month?
6:05
Speaker 3: Can I play? Month? Can I play next year?
6:07
Speaker 5: Like yeah, yeah, we'll see if we can get you
6:09
Speaker 5: a dispensation to play up and then in the car
6:12
Speaker 5: he goes, do you know what, mum like, I'd like
6:14
Speaker 5: to play for the rugby, but I just want to
6:16
Speaker 5: play to be in a cabin with other boys.
6:17
Speaker 1: And have God, that's hysterical.
6:22
Speaker 2: You know one thing we have not talked about with
6:24
Speaker 2: any degree of detail that I'm sure the Dribblers would
6:28
Speaker 2: love to know about, is you two re enacted your
6:31
Speaker 2: school this week during lockdown? Didn't you moved up to
6:33
Speaker 2: Queensland together?
6:34
Speaker 4: So yeah, do.
6:36
Speaker 1: You know what the biggest surprise I think to everybody
6:38
Speaker 1: was And because we were with Channel nine back then
6:40
Speaker 1: and they had to book our accommodation and everything for this,
6:42
Speaker 1: so we're originally gone for three four weeks. Anyway, we
6:47
Speaker 1: didn't really know how long. We didn't know when the
6:49
Speaker 1: lockdown was going to end. But we requested to share
6:53
Speaker 1: a room, to share an apartment, and they rang back
6:57
Speaker 1: and just got your email. Just want to confer you
7:00
Speaker 1: guys want to share a room? Have I read that right?
7:03
Speaker 6: Well?
7:04
Speaker 1: I want a hundred percent we do, because if we're
7:06
Speaker 1: going to be away from our families and we've got
7:08
Speaker 1: this sudden freedom, we want to be together so we
7:11
Speaker 1: can enjoy it.
7:12
Speaker 4: But also there were so many rule changes then too.
7:14
Speaker 2: It was like, God knows what's going to happen, Let's
7:16
Speaker 2: just share a place and then they can't separate us.
7:18
Speaker 3: So yeah, totally yeah.
7:21
Speaker 5: But the women at Chadel nine who booked all the accommodation,
7:24
Speaker 5: they thought we were trolling them because the Rugby League
7:26
Speaker 5: boys don't ever want to room with anyone.
7:28
Speaker 3: Well no, no, no, no, we need, we need to be together.
7:31
Speaker 4: And we bought our sorority sisters we are.
7:34
Speaker 1: We bought ourselves a big puzzle, which we thought would
7:36
Speaker 1: be good. We could just chip away out and I
7:38
Speaker 1: wanted to kill that thing by the time we finally
7:40
Speaker 1: finished it.
7:41
Speaker 4: Man, you made something really cool. Just sounds so bad.
7:44
Speaker 1: I know, I was about to get to that. We
7:45
Speaker 1: were absolutely flogged though. We were doing four games a week,
7:50
Speaker 1: so we do every Saturday, Sunday, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and
7:56
Speaker 1: so we basically decided we'd have a big Thursday, like
7:59
Speaker 1: Thursday was our night. We'd do family nights, So that
8:02
Speaker 1: was all the commentators and the crew that had the
8:05
Speaker 1: night off and that were all staying in this same place,
8:07
Speaker 1: and we turned it on on a Thursday night. But
8:10
Speaker 1: then we were you know, we were so busy. The
8:12
Speaker 1: rest of the time we couldn't do too much, but
8:14
Speaker 1: it was just during the days we got to go
8:16
Speaker 1: and have coffees there.
8:17
Speaker 2: Morning we were on your Instagram with your coffee and
8:20
Speaker 2: your avocado toast and going to markets and things. So
8:23
Speaker 2: this was the entire competition was moved to Queensland, wasn't it.
8:27
Speaker 2: This was twenty twenty one, I think, and New Souplers
8:30
Speaker 2: we had a really long lockdown.
8:31
Speaker 1: It was twenty twenty. Oh, it was twenty twenty was
8:34
Speaker 1: the first one. There was tween twenty was two halbs,
8:36
Speaker 1: but the twenty twenty that was completely in Queensland. The
8:39
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one one was a bit all over the place,
8:42
Speaker 1: but that was the So I was away from home
8:44
Speaker 1: for six weeks and ended up being and I think
8:47
Speaker 1: you were similar, weren't you a little It ended.
8:50
Speaker 5: Up being closer to ten weeks because you went home
8:52
Speaker 5: a little bit earlier. And then they basically allowed there
8:54
Speaker 5: to be a border bubble which allowed me to go home.
8:56
Speaker 5: They lived near the border and I could come hit
8:58
Speaker 5: it out. So yeah, it was And we didn't know,
9:01
Speaker 5: remember Catherine, we were so worried about the kids being away,
9:04
Speaker 5: from us and we rang Michael Cargrek.
9:07
Speaker 3: It was like a really well psychologist and we're like,
9:11
Speaker 3: well the kids be alright. He's like, yeah, they'll be fine.
9:14
Speaker 5: Well okay, Like it was a horrible and I got
9:16
Speaker 5: home the night before Evelyn's birthday, so it must have
9:19
Speaker 5: been almost four years ago exact think that she turned
9:21
Speaker 5: thirteen on Saturday.
9:22
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was It was such a long period
9:25
Speaker 3: of time to be.
9:26
Speaker 4: Away from our kids.
9:28
Speaker 3: Was it bad?
9:29
Speaker 1: So great show with Elizabeth? Yeah it was. It was fun.
9:34
Speaker 1: We made a shit ton of lemonade out of a
9:36
Speaker 1: whole lot of lemons and we got dealt for that
9:38
Speaker 1: year missing the family, couldn't see the kids for that long,
9:41
Speaker 1: but it was good fun.
9:42
Speaker 4: I did two weeks of hotel quarantine in New Zealand.
9:46
Speaker 3: Did you that?
9:47
Speaker 4: That's crazy?
9:48
Speaker 2: And I just I don't think I realized at the time,
9:51
Speaker 2: like how much I was shutting down.
9:53
Speaker 4: So in the beginning it was fine. I had these
9:54
Speaker 4: posted notes up on the wall.
9:56
Speaker 2: I had a row of fourteen post it notes, and
9:57
Speaker 2: every morning I'd wake up, make a coffee and then
9:59
Speaker 2: move went across into the done. But through the course
10:03
Speaker 2: of the two weeks, I'd ring and you know, children
10:05
Speaker 2: sometimes a little bit unpredictable. So in the beginning they
10:08
Speaker 2: were super excited here for me. Then I'd ring this,
10:09
Speaker 2: someone's watching TV and I'd go, that's fine, that's fine,
10:12
Speaker 2: no problem, And I just I was becoming less and
10:14
Speaker 2: less connected with the outside world even in.
10:16
Speaker 4: Just that short two weeks. And that was crazy, wasn't it.
10:20
Speaker 1: The whole thing was nuts.
10:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then twenty twenty one, remember the hub sort
10:23
Speaker 5: of bounced around a little bit, but it ended up
10:24
Speaker 5: back in Queenslaying.
10:25
Speaker 2: Were the Western Australians there or were they locked in
10:28
Speaker 2: their room by their premiere?
10:30
Speaker 3: They were there, They were there everybody the first year.
10:34
Speaker 1: The second year got really difficult because remember there was
10:37
Speaker 1: kind of lockdowns happening in different places, and if you
10:40
Speaker 1: had been somewhere where there had been a close contact,
10:43
Speaker 1: you then had to go into isolation. So Paul bryani Akle,
10:46
Speaker 1: the head coach of the New South Wales Swifts, had
10:48
Speaker 1: taken her kids on parts of it. And remember she
10:51
Speaker 1: got stuck in Adelaide because they were a close contact,
10:53
Speaker 1: because someone was in the cafe. Then they got stuck
10:56
Speaker 1: somewhere else. So she ended up doing an obscene amount
10:59
Speaker 1: of hotel lockdowns with four boys. She didn't have all
11:03
Speaker 1: of them.
11:04
Speaker 3: I spent three of them there, I think, But it
11:05
Speaker 3: was it was horrendous.
11:07
Speaker 1: It was really really tough for a lot of people
11:09
Speaker 1: that got caught in that, and she quite often had
11:12
Speaker 1: to leave the team. The team had to go and
11:13
Speaker 1: she got stuck places. And yeah, I mean that was
11:16
Speaker 1: the whole thing was horrible. Anyway, let's move on from that.
11:18
Speaker 1: We had had good time. Hey, I've got a bit
11:23
Speaker 1: of a convension to make ladies. Oh okay, I'm not
11:26
Speaker 1: sure if I should bring it up. But do you
11:29
Speaker 1: think that a person's choice in music says much about?
11:35
Speaker 3: Yeah?
11:36
Speaker 2: This is it's terrible that you can't see people's CD
11:39
Speaker 2: collections anymore.
11:40
Speaker 1: Oh what about their Spotify playlist?
11:43
Speaker 4: So do you look at that?
11:44
Speaker 3: What can you can follow people on Spotify?
11:47
Speaker 1: Can you really?
11:49
Speaker 2: I follow enough people in enough places you don't need
11:53
Speaker 2: to throw that.
11:54
Speaker 4: Maybe if I was.
11:55
Speaker 2: Dating though, that would be something I would want to do,
11:57
Speaker 2: follow them on Spotify?
11:58
Speaker 4: And now, what are your dirty secrets here? Mate?
12:00
Speaker 3: Go and tell us no.
12:01
Speaker 1: Well, the same can be said about radio stations as well,
12:03
Speaker 1: because Lizzellis was always a Triple J listener, which I
12:06
Speaker 1: just could never understand. I still am oh the ego,
12:10
Speaker 1: see why.
12:11
Speaker 4: Are you Triple J?
12:13
Speaker 1: I don't know, just never been my thing. I even
12:16
Speaker 1: caught myself.
12:17
Speaker 4: Even when you were on it every week.
12:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was only getting roasted by Liz and
12:21
Speaker 1: I was just fodder she was. That was good fun. No.
12:25
Speaker 1: But so this week I started listening to country music.
12:29
Speaker 4: Oh what is why?
12:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is how it started. So
12:34
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Thunderbirds posted something this year midlife christ well,
12:39
Speaker 1: this is my thing? What is happening? But Laura Sherian
12:42
Speaker 1: and Hannah Petty were doing they had earphones on and
12:45
Speaker 1: they were playing country music and it was the first
12:47
Speaker 1: one to choose the song. These are obsessed with it, right.
12:49
Speaker 4: So it was a name that song your.
12:52
Speaker 1: Country all country music, and I thought what am I
12:55
Speaker 1: missing it at on? Like how did these two love
12:57
Speaker 1: this style of music so much? So anyway, this week
13:00
Speaker 1: I was at the gym and I thought, I'm just
13:01
Speaker 1: going to find a country playlist and whack it on.
13:04
Speaker 1: It's really good. I'm into it. What my life at
13:09
Speaker 1: the moment.
13:09
Speaker 2: It's saying that you're open to new experiences and influences,
13:12
Speaker 2: and that's good. I came home the other day and
13:14
Speaker 2: my husband had a country music channel on and it's like,
13:17
Speaker 2: what's going on?
13:18
Speaker 1: Is that the first time he's done that? Yeah, Yeah,
13:20
Speaker 1: we're both a little something.
13:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was just to kind of I thought
13:23
Speaker 2: I would see. So we sat and watched it for
13:24
Speaker 2: a while and it was It's not my taste, but
13:29
Speaker 2: it was interesting. Liz as the representative of the entire country,
13:34
Speaker 2: part of Australia and the world.
13:36
Speaker 5: I'm just wondering who that person is in the studio
13:38
Speaker 5: next to you, Carolyn, And what do you think happened
13:40
Speaker 5: to a friend.
13:42
Speaker 3: That's not her?
13:43
Speaker 1: It's bizarre.
13:44
Speaker 2: She's also got double denim on, which I'm wondering if
13:47
Speaker 2: she's go full on country.
13:49
Speaker 1: Double denim is a trend, please, It's called atween Canadian taxia.
13:54
Speaker 4: Canadian taxi.
13:55
Speaker 1: You know.
13:55
Speaker 2: Last night, so Pete Lewis are away at the moment,
13:58
Speaker 2: they've gone to see my in laws in Orange and
13:59
Speaker 2: it was Dotty and I at home last night.
14:01
Speaker 4: So we got Ramen, which we love, and we watched.
14:04
Speaker 2: Britney Spears two thousand and two movie Crossroads.
14:07
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a train rate, wasn't it?
14:09
Speaker 4: It's terrible, but it was wonderful. We had such a
14:12
Speaker 4: good time.
14:13
Speaker 2: Anyway, she does wear double danim at one stage, so
14:15
Speaker 2: twenty ten it was happening then, too right, that was
14:18
Speaker 2: She's so pretty, Britney Spears.
14:21
Speaker 5: She's beautiful and she's got a great voice. And that's
14:23
Speaker 5: all the stuff that gets lost. Have you seen her early? Like,
14:26
Speaker 5: there's stuff floating around on the net about like video
14:29
Speaker 5: of her when she was really young singing and you go,
14:32
Speaker 5: oh my god, like her voice is unbelievable, but it
14:36
Speaker 5: just got lost in everything else, didn't it.
14:38
Speaker 1: Well, don't if you're still a fan, don't look at
14:42
Speaker 1: her instagram these days. Oh no, you do well, because
14:46
Speaker 1: it's a train wreck of the highest fascinating. It is fascinatinginating.
14:53
Speaker 3: Why do you say it's fascinating?
14:54
Speaker 1: Well, what have a look at it? And you get
14:56
Speaker 1: back to us next week.
14:57
Speaker 3: I got Britney Spears report next week.
14:59
Speaker 1: Die.
15:00
Speaker 2: But we're all culpable in that. None of us stood
15:02
Speaker 2: by Brittany. I feel bad about that, Brittany, and I'm sorry.
15:06
Speaker 1: Don't pull me into that. Why do you know I
15:08
Speaker 1: didn't stand by her?
15:09
Speaker 4: Well, you didn't clearly you didn't. You didn't. What did
15:12
Speaker 4: you do when her father had her prisoner?
15:14
Speaker 1: I wrote a letter.
15:18
Speaker 4: Since you started.
15:18
Speaker 2: Listening to country music, if you lie about things is
15:22
Speaker 2: a direct link going on here.
15:25
Speaker 1: So when we come to your house, FYI in the
15:27
Speaker 1: country will be putting some things on for you to
15:29
Speaker 1: have a little toe tap to Elizabeth see if you're
15:31
Speaker 1: into it.
15:32
Speaker 3: What's your recommendation?
15:34
Speaker 1: Well, look, I don't I don't know names of stuff,

Speaker 1: but if I start line dancing, please pull me in. Okay,
15:42
Speaker 1: we well, okay.
15:43
Speaker 5: Well, actually I'm going to say my kids have discovered
15:45
Speaker 5: a little bit of country and I like that song
15:47
Speaker 5: Everybody in the Bar Drinking Whiskey.
15:50
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, something that's in the popular charts too though,
15:54
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's a crossover.
15:56
Speaker 4: So this country album will be out.
15:58
Speaker 2: Yes, the words first before you go into the studio,
16:05
Speaker 2: that would be my red Hot music team. You just
16:08
Speaker 2: say some crazy, crazy shit. Hey, before we go too
16:12
Speaker 2: far off the topic. You're in Foster with an R
16:14
Speaker 2: which I don't understand. I always think it is it
16:17
Speaker 2: forster spelt foster or is it foster spelt forster and
16:20
Speaker 2: it's foster spelt forster.
16:21
Speaker 4: I don't understand that, do you do?
16:23
Speaker 3: You know?
16:23
Speaker 4: Have you discovered why?
16:25
Speaker 5: I don't know why, but I will say Foster is
16:28
Speaker 5: full of dribblers, and and yeah, the lady at the
16:31
Speaker 5: drac Or surf shop and actually at the at the
16:34
Speaker 5: rugby tournament, I met quite a few dribblers and we're
16:36
Speaker 5: all just wondering one on earth. We're all doing a
16:38
Speaker 5: rugby tournament because our favorite spoil is nepple.
16:41
Speaker 3: And then the answer is children. Yeah, so Foster is beautiful,
16:44
Speaker 3: really great.
16:45
Speaker 5: There's a great bar hick called the Wall Street Wall
16:47
Speaker 5: Street Distillery, and they do fantastic gin cocktails.
16:51
Speaker 4: Carolyn road Trip trimp. That does sound good.
16:55
Speaker 1: All I'm hearing is road True.
16:56
Speaker 4: I'm hearing is her own trimp too.
16:58
Speaker 2: But what I wanted to do, since you have people
17:00
Speaker 2: who were so tapped into the warratahs there, I won't
17:04
Speaker 2: know how they can get their draw out so early.
17:06
Speaker 2: And where is the sun Cops Supernetbull draw for twenty
17:08
Speaker 2: twenty five? I need to block my remember last year
17:11
Speaker 2: the chaos, well this year, in fact, it was last
17:14
Speaker 2: last Netball year, though, wasn't it, Because this is a
17:16
Speaker 2: brand new network year. When I booked myself at the
17:18
Speaker 2: Bloody Comedy Store, so I couldn't even watch the Grand Final.
17:20
Speaker 2: It's like I need down in my diary soon.
17:23
Speaker 1: Well you saw the Grand Final location. That's exciting, exciting.
17:28
Speaker 1: This season will be almost exactly the same as this
17:30
Speaker 1: season in terms of dates because there's no big tournaments
17:34
Speaker 1: that we have to start the season earlier to be
17:36
Speaker 1: done in time. There's no common Games, no World Cup
17:38
Speaker 1: next year, so it'll be almost carbon copy, I would imagine.
17:42
Speaker 1: And Melbourne for the GF.
17:43
Speaker 6: That's exciting, exciting, so yes, and the GF will be
17:47
Speaker 6: I think it's now always the first weekend in August
17:51
Speaker 6: when there's no clash other major Yeah, okay, it's always.
17:55
Speaker 1: Book your flights and if inaccurate, blame Lizellas.
17:58
Speaker 4: Don't tell them until I've booked mine.
18:00
Speaker 3: Okay.
18:01
Speaker 4: See, you could fly from Sydney to Melbourne at midday
18:05
Speaker 4: or one o'clock on Saturday afternoon to go and see
18:08
Speaker 4: a certain AFL game if you were interested in it.
18:10
Speaker 4: For seventeen hundred dollars, one bargain.
18:15
Speaker 3: Would see you. You didn't get a ticket, no.
18:17
Speaker 1: And thank god as it turned out, because the last
18:20
Speaker 1: Grand Final I went to was twenty fourteen where the
18:23
Speaker 1: Swans got pumped by Hawthorne. I think it was Hawthorne.
18:27
Speaker 1: They got pumped anyway, and.
18:29
Speaker 4: They got pumped by the Cats two years ago.
18:31
Speaker 1: Why not we don't do so well in the old g.
18:34
Speaker 2: I've only been to one AFL Grand Final and Brisbane
18:37
Speaker 2: won that, so that was. I don't know who they played, Collingwood,
18:39
Speaker 2: I think a long time ago.
18:41
Speaker 1: There you go. I don't know, but I'm glad I
18:44
Speaker 1: didn't spend seventeen hundred dollars one way.
18:47
Speaker 5: No, I was sitting in my career and watch the
18:50
Speaker 5: other laptop thinking, got to hope Cox is not here.
18:53
Speaker 3: Not feel long afternoon?
18:55
Speaker 5: You know.
18:55
Speaker 3: I was watching that thinking because.
18:57
Speaker 5: Catterin we have played in these sorts of grand finals before,
19:00
Speaker 5: and you know, by three quarter time the game's over.
19:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what was chalking that before halftime for them?
19:05
Speaker 1: I thought, this halftime break cannot come soon enough. Yeah,
19:10
Speaker 1: you'd rather keep up the last five minutes of opportunity
19:12
Speaker 1: just to get to halftime faster, yeah and address you know.
19:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, But then when they were like losing by sixty
19:18
Speaker 5: or something just before three quarter time, I thought the
19:20
Speaker 5: last quarter is going to be so long, like we've
19:23
Speaker 5: been losing grand finals before where you know nothing, you
19:26
Speaker 5: do work, so how do you try the worst you get?
19:29
Speaker 5: And that last quarter seems to take an eternity where
19:32
Speaker 5: you think yourself.
19:33
Speaker 3: People say life short, they haven't lived through this final quarter.
19:36
Speaker 1: We're getting touch exactly. It's the longest what twenty five
19:39
Speaker 1: minutes ever? But the first thing I did was actually
19:41
Speaker 1: google the biggest loss in a Grand final or the
19:44
Speaker 1: biggest margin in a Grand final, because I thought, oh
19:47
Speaker 1: my god, is this where this is heading? And this
19:48
Speaker 1: is going to be what the Swans are looking at.
19:50
Speaker 1: But their biggest loss in a Grand final was in
19:52
Speaker 1: twenty two and it was eighty one points, so they
19:56
Speaker 1: didn't get to that, thank goodness. But yeah, still not
20:00
Speaker 1: a day they're going to want to remember.
20:02
Speaker 5: But here's a question for you cats, written do you
20:05
Speaker 5: think is that their fourth Grand final loss.
20:08
Speaker 1: In a row? Four? They've lost three, haven't they.
20:11
Speaker 5: I think that's yeah, right, okay, So at what point
20:14
Speaker 5: does losing those grand finals become too big a hurdle
20:18
Speaker 5: for this group to overcome?
20:20
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the loss of the grand
20:22
Speaker 1: finals so much as the margin, because I think the
20:25
Speaker 1: smallest margin in their losses has been like fifty so
20:28
Speaker 1: they get flogged in them. Yeah, I don't know. I
20:31
Speaker 1: think it's the margin of those finals. But you're right
20:33
Speaker 1: because they obviously, you know, let's say they make the
20:36
Speaker 1: Grand final next year, they're going to have that who doo.
20:38
Speaker 1: They're going to think that there's something they can't do
20:40
Speaker 1: in grand finals.
20:41
Speaker 2: And I mean Brisbane lost a Grand final last year,
20:44
Speaker 2: so it is. But you're right, this is a higher quantum.
20:47
Speaker 4: But they did.
20:48
Speaker 2: I think that they pegged the score back somewhat in
20:51
Speaker 2: the last quarter. Like the margin was more than fifty
20:53
Speaker 2: points at three quarter time.
20:56
Speaker 4: So they had pegged it back. So they still.
20:58
Speaker 2: Maintained some degree of demism in that and determined. I
21:02
Speaker 2: don't know, Hell, I never get a glasping extraws here.
21:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you are.
21:07
Speaker 5: I think like, if you pull it back in that
21:09
Speaker 5: last quarter, you could say that, you know, Brisbote have
21:11
Speaker 5: taken their foot off the pedal, that they could just cell.
21:14
Speaker 4: Because it was injured. Here we've got Mad Monday to go.
21:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I really feel for these you know that
21:20
Speaker 2: we're going to remember these young men who are doing
21:23
Speaker 2: their best, but they are still young people. So if
21:26
Speaker 2: you Elizabeth Ellison cath Cox, two of the legends of
21:30
Speaker 2: our game, were asked next week to go and talk
21:33
Speaker 2: to the Swans and and try to send them out
21:37
Speaker 2: of that room more likely to succeed than they went in.
21:40
Speaker 4: What would you say to them.
21:42
Speaker 1: I'd refuse because it's too soon, Elizabeth.
21:44
Speaker 3: Yes, I'd say, let me come back at the start
21:47
Speaker 3: of next year. I mean, yeah, they actually do have
21:50
Speaker 3: to go through a grieving process.
21:52
Speaker 5: Regardless of what sport it is, what gender, what age,
21:56
Speaker 5: there is a grieving process around losing a game like
21:59
Speaker 5: a Grand Final, And I'm going to admit I have
22:03
Speaker 5: to do it when I even when I coach the
22:04
Speaker 5: end of thirteens, I have to be allowed space to
22:07
Speaker 5: go and grave. And even this morning, when Everlyn's team
22:09
Speaker 5: lost one game, I had to walk off by myself
22:11
Speaker 5: and have a little moment.
22:13
Speaker 3: Well it wasn't what I become.
22:14
Speaker 5: But so they do need to be almost left alone
22:17
Speaker 5: to sort of buy the rest of us and that
22:19
Speaker 5: they no doubt they'll have support with their club, just
22:21
Speaker 5: sort of to undergo that process of coming to terms
22:23
Speaker 5: with that sort of loss. But I am really interested in,
22:27
Speaker 5: like it's not a physical problem for the Swans, right
22:29
Speaker 5: physically really saying that they yeah, and I mean this
22:32
Speaker 5: happens across all sports, right, so there's something going on
22:34
Speaker 5: above their shoulders that stops it. And like, I feel
22:39
Speaker 5: like often teams get to Grand finals and feel like
22:42
Speaker 5: they've got to win the big moments. But my philosophy
22:45
Speaker 5: has always been around grand finals that the teams who
22:48
Speaker 5: win are the teams who do well in the ordinary moments,
22:52
Speaker 5: and so doing ordinary things in extraordinary moments. Right, So
22:55
Speaker 5: to win a Grand Final, you have to have your
22:56
Speaker 5: here to just execute your ordinary skills under extra pressure.
23:00
Speaker 5: You don't have to take a specky in assent or
23:04
Speaker 5: shoot a goal with you know, your ankles hanging over
23:07
Speaker 5: the circle.
23:08
Speaker 3: So you know, like that really famous shot of Scherrell.
23:10
Speaker 5: At Man in that nineteen ninety nine Grand Final, it's
23:13
Speaker 5: actually mid range, right, It's a sort of shot that
23:16
Speaker 5: you would shoot every day of the week. And if
23:18
Speaker 5: you look at the shot that Donald Hagen missed in
23:21
Speaker 5: that same match, it was even a little bit closer.
23:23
Speaker 3: So donad lof Hagen. Sadly for her in the Silver Furans,
23:27
Speaker 3: she didn't execute.
23:29
Speaker 5: A really ordinary skill in an extraordinary moment where Charrelle
23:33
Speaker 5: executed a really ordinary skill in a massively extraordinary moment,
23:38
Speaker 5: and she focused on the skill and lot the moment,
23:39
Speaker 5: and you can see that game she turns around and
23:42
Speaker 5: runs back to the center and pulls her undis out
23:44
Speaker 5: of a butt. So she's just going through her regular process.
23:48
Speaker 5: And I do wonder and I'm sure that jong Lamare
23:50
Speaker 5: and the Swans will have lots of people to help
23:52
Speaker 5: them with this, but sometimes teams get to be games
23:55
Speaker 5: like that and think that it has to have to
23:56
Speaker 5: lift their performance and really just have to focus on
23:59
Speaker 5: the ordinary things.
24:00
Speaker 1: I think them too, because they had been on the
24:02
Speaker 1: top of the table the entire season, if you know,
24:05
Speaker 1: if not second, but they had been there or thereabout.
24:08
Speaker 1: So they went into that game with an enormous amount
24:10
Speaker 1: of pressure on them already that they were the team
24:13
Speaker 1: to beat all year, they should win this Grand Final.
24:16
Speaker 1: If they were Brisbane and had come from fifth, I
24:19
Speaker 1: think it would have been a very different Grand Final
24:22
Speaker 1: because that's just an enormous amount of pressure already. But
24:25
Speaker 1: I think there'll be some really uncomfortable honesty sessions that
24:29
Speaker 1: take place, and whether the players do that independently, they
24:32
Speaker 1: do that as a group, whatever it is, because you're
24:34
Speaker 1: rightly's it's a it's not so much a physical thing
24:37
Speaker 1: as it is a mental battle, and you have to
24:40
Speaker 1: address that. You have to. You can't ignore it because
24:43
Speaker 1: that makes it worse. You actually do have to address that.
24:46
Speaker 1: How can we be better individually? How can we be
24:48
Speaker 1: better as a group in those moments that you talk about.
24:50
Speaker 1: But Liz is exactly right though in breaking it down
24:53
Speaker 1: so it doesn't seem like it's such a scary thing.
24:55
Speaker 2: Well, this is when we talked earlier in the season
24:57
Speaker 2: about when you had the yips, let's go back to
24:59
Speaker 2: the process. In fact, I think you were saying at
25:01
Speaker 2: that stage, you need to be far karma.
25:03
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And you know, like we went through this
25:08
Speaker 3: with the Swiss years ago. We lost like seventeen or
25:11
Speaker 3: eighteen on the trot to the Thunderbirds.
25:13
Speaker 5: So the games against the Thunderbirds became a massive, massive
25:17
Speaker 5: mental thing and like we just it was almost like
25:22
Speaker 5: I can't even remember what we did to break the cycle,
25:25
Speaker 5: but we finally won a game in Sydney and we
25:29
Speaker 5: didn't lose to them then for four years, right, Like
25:32
Speaker 5: it was just.
25:34
Speaker 3: It was just an amazing thing that they were.
25:36
Speaker 5: It just became such a mental hurdle it stopped being
25:38
Speaker 5: a physical hurdle.
25:39
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just fruscinating, is it that in sport?
25:42
Speaker 3: What goes on a bob's shoulders?
25:43
Speaker 4: Yeah?
25:44
Speaker 2: Well, unfortunately everyone every game has to have a loser.
25:47
Speaker 2: But you know, these are individuals involved in it, and
25:50
Speaker 2: it's just you know, you look at sport. Professional sport
25:53
Speaker 2: is littered with young people with quite significant challenges from
25:59
Speaker 2: things that have happened on the field and that they
26:01
Speaker 2: have to carry with them. Anyway, good wisdom from the mothers,
26:06
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
26:10
Speaker 1: Anyway, no more, ifl chat, let's talk about the diamonds?
26:13
Speaker 2: Can I ask a question though? So, Liz, you asked
26:15
Speaker 2: me to come up with a cocktail for Wednesday night.
26:17
Speaker 4: I did that. Yes, it was quite late in the piece.
26:19
Speaker 1: Did you have it?
26:20
Speaker 3: No?
26:20
Speaker 4: I was delicious?
26:21
Speaker 1: What was it?
26:22
Speaker 2: It was the rose diamond again gin. If you don't
26:25
Speaker 2: like gin, you probably won't like most of the cocktails.
26:27
Speaker 2: I make but two parts gin, one part lemon juice
26:30
Speaker 2: and one part sugar syrup, and shake that with a
26:33
Speaker 2: quarter of strawberry and then pour that into a tall
26:35
Speaker 2: glass with ice, and then top it with soda water.
26:38
Speaker 4: It was delicious.
26:39
Speaker 1: That sounds good. A rose diamond, so you were predicting
26:41
Speaker 1: a draw.
26:42
Speaker 4: No, I wanted to just have one cocktail but a
26:45
Speaker 4: rose diamond. But it's still a diamond, but still a
26:48
Speaker 4: rose Roses in there. Okay, Well who won?
26:53
Speaker 1: Who won?
26:54
Speaker 4: And who tipped the series?
26:55
Speaker 1: Oh?
26:56
Speaker 4: That might have been me?
26:57
Speaker 1: Oh did you tip the diamonds? Bloody person picked?
27:01
Speaker 4: You picked three nil clean? The I picked a two
27:05
Speaker 4: to one and it was looking.
27:07
Speaker 2: I was quite stressed after the second game because it's like, well,
27:09
Speaker 2: I want to be right now for the first time,
27:11
Speaker 2: so I.
27:12
Speaker 1: Don't lose too. You were always going to be right,
27:14
Speaker 1: But how good? What a response? Though? Back to a
27:16
Speaker 1: thirteen goal margin?
27:18
Speaker 4: Interesting was thirteen and then lost by two I think,
27:21
Speaker 4: wasn't it? And then one by thirteen? Yeah?
27:23
Speaker 1: But there. So their first game was a seventy pointer
27:26
Speaker 1: was their biggest score against the England Roses, and the
27:29
Speaker 1: final game was almost a carbon copy of score it was.
27:33
Speaker 1: It was sixty nine, so yeah, second second higher score.
27:39
Speaker 3: Forever never too old to enjoy that?
27:47
Speaker 1: No, true?
27:48
Speaker 2: And then the Roses one on the weekend against the Kiwis,
27:52
Speaker 2: but by just one point.
27:53
Speaker 4: So that's interesting. I will be interested to watch the
27:55
Speaker 4: rest of that series.
27:56
Speaker 1: I will be two because I find it really hard
28:00
Speaker 1: to see how they keep that up. They've been away
28:02
Speaker 1: from home now for four or five weeks. We used
28:06
Speaker 1: to do tours capped at about three weeks because that
28:09
Speaker 1: was about the boiling point we'd be about to kill
28:11
Speaker 1: each other. That's a long There'll be about six weeks
28:14
Speaker 1: before they're home. And apparently that is the England way
28:17
Speaker 1: because if they're going to come down here and play,
28:18
Speaker 1: obviously it's such a long way to go. You're not
28:20
Speaker 1: going to go home and then come back and go
28:21
Speaker 1: to New Zealand. Are you going to stay? But I
28:24
Speaker 1: really feel like surely they're cooked, and these next two
28:28
Speaker 1: games will be really interesting. If they can get two
28:30
Speaker 1: wins in the next two games, I'll be very impressed
28:32
Speaker 1: with them.
28:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is impressive. You know, I actually did think
28:36
Speaker 5: that England would probably beat New Zealand easily and did
28:40
Speaker 5: you Yeah, I did think that. And so now I'm
28:44
Speaker 5: sort of hoping and really excited about the fact that
28:46
Speaker 5: the Silver Say is going to be really competitive when
28:48
Speaker 5: they come to play the Diamonds in October.
28:50
Speaker 3: So it's good I like it.
28:52
Speaker 1: Well, they'll be warm because yeah, they're just coming straight
28:54
Speaker 1: off this series. Whether the Australians have gone home to
28:56
Speaker 1: have a little rest, which I think they needed, and
28:59
Speaker 1: go to the footy and have a little bit of downtime,
29:02
Speaker 1: they've all been down there at the Grand Final having
29:04
Speaker 1: an absolute blast.
29:06
Speaker 3: Nice good on them.
29:07
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, if you can get tickets, why not.
29:12
Speaker 4: Got seventeen hundred bucks, why not? Yes, that's exactly right.
29:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting to watch that.
29:17
Speaker 2: I read an interview with Grace Neweki during the week
29:20
Speaker 2: and she was saying that exactly the sort of thing
29:23
Speaker 2: you were talking about, Kat, that, you know, her reason
29:25
Speaker 2: for signing with the Swifts, in spite of the fact
29:27
Speaker 2: that means she mon't be able to represent her country
29:29
Speaker 2: next year, was she really wanted to challenge herself. And
29:31
Speaker 2: she said that she didn't think a seventh season is
29:34
Speaker 2: it the mystics in Auckland, she didn't think a seventh
29:37
Speaker 2: season with them was going to challenge her the way
29:40
Speaker 2: that this change would.
29:41
Speaker 4: She's only twenty three. That's incredible.
29:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a baby. She must have.
29:47
Speaker 3: She was playing when she was six. Say wait, we
29:50
Speaker 3: all no, yeah, you know you're twelve but like it
29:54
Speaker 3: isn't you know that is a very.
29:57
Speaker 5: Sa Yes, yes, but I made my way back into
30:04
Speaker 5: the team, remember so, but it is a very key
30:06
Speaker 5: week thing to have, Like these young superstars just come
30:09
Speaker 5: through and you know, play. I can't imagine a sixteen
30:12
Speaker 5: year old coming and playing for the Swift Saw the Fibers,
30:15
Speaker 5: like any of our teams, we've got these pathways that
30:18
Speaker 5: you sort of have to progress through before you can
30:20
Speaker 5: take the next step. So it's interesting, isn't it that
30:23
Speaker 5: Like in New Zealand, there seems to be the ability
30:25
Speaker 5: to sort of circumvent those pathways if you're good enough,
30:27
Speaker 5: you're old.
30:28
Speaker 4: Enough, can you by the pathway?
30:31
Speaker 3: Please?
30:32
Speaker 4: For those of us who haven't been through them?
30:34
Speaker 5: What is the Yeah, very slightly from state to state,
30:38
Speaker 5: but in New South Wales you play your state championship
30:40
Speaker 5: as a junior and then there's academy program. So yeah,
30:44
Speaker 5: there's just been a heap of games this week in
30:46
Speaker 5: portall Quarry with academy teams from all over the state.
30:49
Speaker 3: Right, So they're like North.
30:50
Speaker 5: Coast Academy, Far West Academy West and Sydney Academy and
30:54
Speaker 5: they all come together and they play and then you'll
30:56
Speaker 5: get selected though, you know the next year or two
30:59
Speaker 5: doll or such to go through for selections for the
31:01
Speaker 5: new South Wales under seventeen teams. Some of them have
31:04
Speaker 5: played in school girls teams or are playing in school
31:07
Speaker 5: girls teams, and so there's all these little steps that
31:09
Speaker 5: you know, you play your local club, then you play association,
31:12
Speaker 5: then you go into academy, then you go to state
31:15
Speaker 5: and so you said it was seventeen. Really by the
31:17
Speaker 5: time you get to your first state team, so you
31:20
Speaker 5: don't unless you are precociously talented, you probably you're not
31:24
Speaker 5: going to end up playing for the Swifts when you're sixteen, really.
31:27
Speaker 1: Unless you're Grace in Alwiki because she is a steady
31:29
Speaker 1: there right, Yeah.
31:30
Speaker 2: Well she's amazing precociously talented, but also physically precocious too.
31:36
Speaker 4: You would need to be You've got to be that.
31:38
Speaker 2: Size as a child, and that's not common, is it.
31:43
Speaker 3: No?
31:43
Speaker 5: And also it's just a level of maturity, right to
31:46
Speaker 5: get into something like the intensity of super netball and
31:49
Speaker 5: play at that level, Like she must have been amazing
31:52
Speaker 5: at sixteen to just be able to sort of step
31:55
Speaker 5: up to that level of intensity and old all right,
31:57
Speaker 5: Like she's incredibly physically strong, but that mental strength has
32:00
Speaker 5: to be there as well.
32:01
Speaker 1: Well, this is my thing. I mean, it's in New
32:03
Speaker 1: Zealand's best interest to let her come and play in
32:05
Speaker 1: the best competition in the world because she's twenty three,
32:08
Speaker 1: because she's still got room to improve. Imagine what she's
32:11
Speaker 1: going to be like with the season of ESSN and
32:14
Speaker 1: a coach like Brianie Akles ahead coach for a season.
32:17
Speaker 1: By the time she goes back.
32:19
Speaker 2: Oh, I want to know what herrand final is.
32:23
Speaker 1: Yes, those, it's the swiftest will be there.
32:26
Speaker 2: I am not coaching summer indoor netball, which is very exciting.
32:29
Speaker 2: We've only had two weeks of it, but I have
32:31
Speaker 2: a the first week I had to coach because the girl,
32:34
Speaker 2: and it is a girl's who's got one of the
32:36
Speaker 2: one of our girls older sisters, who's thirteen, and just
32:39
Speaker 2: this extraordinarily mature, wonderful young woman who assisted me in
32:42
Speaker 2: coaching this year.
32:43
Speaker 4: She's coaching the girls.
32:45
Speaker 2: But it's indoor did you say indoor? So and it's
32:48
Speaker 2: seven minute quarters. It's great, it's chaos. So the first
32:51
Speaker 2: time my girls ever set foot on a netball quarter,
32:53
Speaker 2: it was one of these indoor sports centers.
32:55
Speaker 4: So there's sixty four sports marked out in different colors,
32:58
Speaker 4: so you have to go.
33:00
Speaker 2: You're where you are allowed to go is in. It's
33:03
Speaker 2: not the light blue and it's not the dark blue.
33:04
Speaker 2: It's the very mid blue there, so you want to
33:06
Speaker 2: pay attention.
33:07
Speaker 4: Edge was it was. It was a circus.
33:09
Speaker 2: But I got to sit there because there's bleaches there,
33:13
Speaker 2: like it's an indoor sports stadium. I got to sit
33:15
Speaker 2: on the bleaches and have a conversation about things while
33:19
Speaker 2: netball was going on. We've got eleven girls, so it
33:21
Speaker 2: means that in any week. It's so if you want
33:23
Speaker 2: a week off, no problem, We've got We've got plenty.
33:25
Speaker 4: It's great. It's and I don't have to do anything.
33:28
Speaker 2: I'm running the who's on how many players have we
33:31
Speaker 2: got for the week? And who has to pay the bills?
33:34
Speaker 2: But you know that's all I'm doing. Gosh, it's nice.
33:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks so nice.
33:39
Speaker 1: I'm watching a Super Neple game just without it is
33:43
Speaker 1: good fun. She says, who drinks wine now instead of it?
33:49
Speaker 5: Was always my life's ambition and I get to do
33:51
Speaker 5: it last time.
33:53
Speaker 2: If you need any tips on how to do it,
33:55
Speaker 2: I've been doing it for a while and I think
33:56
Speaker 2: I'm quite an expert.
33:57
Speaker 3: Now you are the expert.
33:59
Speaker 5: But you know, the bad thing is that we're in
34:00
Speaker 5: a chair and you've got to do postmatch presentations and
34:03
Speaker 5: I am strictly water only. But I will say with
34:05
Speaker 5: it with Twilight comp, it's interesting cats and that you're
34:08
Speaker 5: going to put them in their positions because with my
34:10
Speaker 5: team we are I'm like.
34:12
Speaker 3: You do do it?
34:13
Speaker 5: Ever You're like, I'm not coaching them, but they'll play
34:16
Speaker 5: all different positions and it's a very relaxed.
34:19
Speaker 3: That's what whatever.
34:20
Speaker 1: I don't want it, I don't want as this is
34:22
Speaker 1: relaxed for me. But because we're going up a division
34:24
Speaker 1: and they're playing with the proper rules, it makes sense,
34:27
Speaker 1: doesn't it, to just try them in positions that they're stronger.
34:30
Speaker 1: Otherwise I think we'll probably get flogged every week. We
34:32
Speaker 1: maybe see anyway, We'll see, But I'm excited.
34:35
Speaker 2: But isn't that kind of good to let them get
34:37
Speaker 2: flogged in a comp that the stakes are so low?
34:39
Speaker 2: And this is what I've sort of you know with
34:41
Speaker 2: this with this indoor Summer one, it's like, girls, it
34:44
Speaker 2: doesn't matter whether we win or lose this. This is
34:46
Speaker 2: your opportunity to try different positions. This is we're here
34:50
Speaker 2: to have fun and have a run around.
34:52
Speaker 1: I agree, but it is also disheartening.
34:54
Speaker 4: It's disheartening.
34:55
Speaker 2: What I've said is success is if we can win
34:58
Speaker 2: as many as we lose. So and the good news
35:00
Speaker 2: two weeks of grading, we won as many as we lost,
35:02
Speaker 2: So that's perfect for gradings. I reckon, you don't want
35:04
Speaker 2: you don't want to smash your gratings.
35:06
Speaker 3: That is true, but I.
35:09
Speaker 2: Reckon, that's probably about all we've got time for today. Oh,
35:13
Speaker 2: I will never forget the wind beneath our wings. Ems
35:16
Speaker 2: reminded me that we have wind beneath our wings, but
35:18
Speaker 2: it's like, that's not something we're going to forget. I
35:20
Speaker 2: have a voice note that we picked up on the
35:23
Speaker 2: day of our live events.
35:25
Speaker 1: How much slurring?
35:27
Speaker 4: No, No, it's fine.
35:28
Speaker 2: Apparently not everyone behaved the same way that day. But oh, okay,
35:33
Speaker 2: as you yeap, EM's going to play it now for us.
35:36
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm janetto Brien.
35:37
Speaker 7: I just want to nominate my friend Colleen Featherstone for
35:40
Speaker 7: I Went Beneath My Wings Award. She was our walking
35:44
Speaker 7: nepp Or captain this year. And she rallied around all
35:46
Speaker 7: of us old ones, trying to get us on the
35:48
Speaker 7: court each week and turning the behavior down at each
35:51
Speaker 7: break in the court when we're all got a bit
35:53
Speaker 7: excited because of our opponents were bringing on the pressure
35:56
Speaker 7: and yeah, giving us a hard time, and we just
35:59
Speaker 7: wanted to wanted to take a bit of a chill
36:01
Speaker 7: pill and enjoy while we're all out there, and that
36:02
Speaker 7: it we're callite having a bit of fun in our
36:04
Speaker 7: older years.
36:05
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jeanette.
36:06
Speaker 2: Now, Jeanette actually has a daughter who is in the Giants.
36:09
Speaker 2: Her daughter is Aaron I believe and Jane O'Brien.
36:13
Speaker 1: She's a Hills girl.
36:14
Speaker 2: Well, Jeanette was over in Western Australia when I wore
36:17
Speaker 2: my lovely hat to the game there and was signaling
36:20
Speaker 2: to me from the Giants family and friends section across
36:22
Speaker 2: the other side of the finger. No, no, it was
36:25
Speaker 2: a very well you've got a remember I was one
36:27
Speaker 2: of the few people wearing a Giant's T shirt apart
36:29
Speaker 2: from the family and friends people, so certainly they were
36:32
Speaker 2: very happy to see me. But thank you very much, Jeannette,
36:35
Speaker 2: and good for you Colin. And it's interesting sort of
36:38
Speaker 2: talking there about that. You were talking earlier on Liz
36:40
Speaker 2: about being a bad sideline parent. You know, at least
36:44
Speaker 2: if any time there's a bad behavior from a parent
36:46
Speaker 2: on the side of a sporting field, it's the volunteers
36:49
Speaker 2: who were the first line of going in to sort
36:51
Speaker 2: it out. And it's like, I'm not saying that you
36:53
Speaker 2: were this badly behave, but we've seen it, you know.
36:55
Speaker 2: You see it in the news every week that some
36:57
Speaker 2: football codes that the parents are going the bero about
37:00
Speaker 2: what's going on on kids' sport. But you know, there
37:03
Speaker 2: were certainly reports out of it of a large carnival
37:05
Speaker 2: here in Western Sydney earlier on in the year that
37:08
Speaker 2: the volunteers the ones who have to go down and
37:10
Speaker 2: try to ask people to behave appropriately. So it's very
37:14
Speaker 2: appropriate that we have something like the wind Beneath our
37:16
Speaker 2: Wings that acknowledges the work of our volunteers around the country.
37:19
Speaker 4: Keeping our great game alive at the community level.
37:22
Speaker 2: And Colleen, you are going to be the proud recipient
37:24
Speaker 2: of a win beneath our Wings.
37:26
Speaker 4: Scrunchy, whoo, well done, well done.
37:29
Speaker 2: So that brings us to the end of another fabulous episode.
37:32
Speaker 2: We're feeling twenty two and feel and twenty The sad
37:36
Speaker 2: thing is, you know, what's that song? Nobody likes you
37:38
Speaker 2: when you're twenty three. Next week we're going to have
37:41
Speaker 2: to really bring out It's not green day?
37:43
Speaker 3: Who is it?

Speaker 4: Thank you? What's my age again?
37:52
Speaker 6: So?
37:52
Speaker 2: Yes, So next week is nobody likes us when you're
37:54
Speaker 2: twenty three, which is something that I took great delight
37:57
Speaker 2: when my two step daughters both turned twenty three, that
37:59
Speaker 2: after Happy Birthday we would sing.
38:00
Speaker 4: That to then.
38:03
Speaker 1: I love it.
38:04
Speaker 3: Oh yes, But this week.
