  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 2: Don't tell them, all right, and welcome back to No Dribble,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the podcast where we talk about netfill, but we talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: about a whole lot of other things aside. It is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a big week The nation has gone into morning at
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the end of the supernet Fall season, so we are
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: feeling a bit sad, but hopefully today we will make
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you feel better. My name's Carolyn Swendell. I'm a writer
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and comedian. I'm here in Sydney and I am.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: With cath Cox, who's not just said a little tired,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: gotta say yeah weekend.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And far up on the North Coast we.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Have it is also a little bit tired. Who feels
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like I've been hit by a bus today? Actually, Grand
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Final weekend is huge.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was not the bus, just so.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Murder on the dance floor. Yeah, so it looked like
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a fabulous weekend. I can watch the game obviously until
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: half past eleven on Saturday night. But I did, I did,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I did. I went black. We had dribblers running poles
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: on my behalf. We'll get to that later on. But
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it's like, Carolyn, A, we're having a poll this week.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's like, I can't, I can't watch this.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I wonder why there was radio silence on that. I
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: thought you'd be all over now. So you did, I did?
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I went dark. So I watched it all and I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: was able to not know what the result was like
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: everyone else until the very last second. I didn't know
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: what the result was, which I think is the best
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: result for netball, isn't it?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: But you kind of knew what the result was going
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to be because you initially tipped the Vixens.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I did even it up, though, didn't I In the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: same video, I did also tip the Thunderbirds. So we've
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: taken that curse out of the equation. And I will
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: not be accepting any correspondence from Vixen's fans who want
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to blame this stuff.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: On me, but plenty of other people that can blame.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: My heart goes Carolyn.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Is it weird to sort of know that, even though
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you could find out the result, you don't like I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: never that disciplined.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I've been able to do it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It's so weird, and it took like the number of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: times during the night I had to put my phone
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: down and say, don't look at the phone and tell
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: people don't tell me the netball score, and they're looking
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: at me like, yeah, well, if we're at a comedy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: club on a Saturday night instead of watching the Grand Final,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we're pretty well not going to be telling you the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: netball score anyway. But yeah, it was very hard for me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But what was harder as I got home and my
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: husband had been waiting up for our son, who had
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: been to a party. He only got home just before
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I did, and he was ready for bed, and I went,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I might just have a glass of wine and watch
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the Grand Final. So he sat up with me and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we watched it together lat night. No, my husband, everyone
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was ready for bed, but we had an early start
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that day because we did get to play some netball
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: on Saturday morning too.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I saw that, Now, how did they go when they
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: finally got there? Did you get a win?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yet?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We had no subs. They all had to play a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: full game and I didn't shuffle them around. It's like
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: everyone stays in their position for the whole game. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that was that was really good.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: So I love that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But anyway, for about that, Liz, you looked amazing in
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that blue pants suit on Saturday night.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Oh thanks, has a little bit of a gift from
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Perry Cutts, and that was very nice of them to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do that for me.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I loved my suit. I felt very fancy in it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: But you know, you get a lot of laugh for
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: this sort of stuff, and your head can get big,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: but then there's always a teenage girl who can who
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: can bring you down.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You made one, yes, well this is this is not
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: one that I made. This is one of my sister
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: made and I adorn my kneece Friday.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: She's sixteen. She's an outstanding human and she didn't mean
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to be me. But I ordered ages ago two pairs
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of you know, the spray jeans.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah you're wearing those on Friday, you guys at lunch.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're incredible.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You complimented me on those jeans, So I ordered. When
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I ordered them, I ordered them off a website that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: has a tall person section of tall girls section, obviously,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: which is fair. Tell me what that's called, because that,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like I care, that's what it's called. So I ordered
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: two pairs because you know, when you order stuff online,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you're like oh, I don't know which one's going to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: fit me. And one of them fitted me perfectly, which
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is the ones that you saw. And then another pair
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: were a little too small, and I had intended to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: send them back, but I don't.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Know about you guys. I have to do a lot
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: of online shopping because I live in the country, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just hopeless. I just forget to send things back.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: And this pair of jeans sat on my desk phrases,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and I picked them up last week and thought I've
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: missed the deadline?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Was this sitting in their past? The same one?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: It was bit on you guys.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: How funny that we both remembered that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: That's too funny. Think about that when I was telling
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: this story.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I finally got around it because I tied in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: my office last week.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I finally got around doing something with them.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And my sixteen year old niece was at our place
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: last weekend and I said to her our brides. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: pulled them out and I said, look, these are small
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: And she's almost my height, but she's got a sixteen
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: year old's kid's body. And I said, do you want
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the figure?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And she goes, oh, no, thanks, and I'm sort, are
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you sure like you might wear them? She goes, oh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I might wear them for fancy dress.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Boom, what's right?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It's like for nice I don't know what's sixteen year
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: olds were, but clearly they're for fancy dress.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I was gathered. I'm like, it's my fashion so bad.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That like a young, beautiful, gorgeous sixteen year old goes, yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that'd be good for fancy dress, but not to actually
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: wear in public.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's the skinny legs because that's the generation thing,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: isn't it that? And that is us and you rock
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: them because you've got great.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I will wear that to my grave too,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So I don't care if you don't think I'm cool.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Same, And you know what, I think.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: To do skinny leg jeans properly, you've got to do,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, like your cool runners, and you need ankle
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: lenks socks. And I think that that generation doesn't do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: angle socks, because they do long socks.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Cruise socks, aren't they?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So do you think which one came first? The jeans
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: or the socks, like the chicken or the egg? Did
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the sock trend come first?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And then they realized now I think they went off
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to jeans first, and the side part was the other
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: thing that is apparently. And I will say, having watched
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: so many center parties over the course of the Supernetball season,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I think it might be helpful for traction alopecia that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: if you're parting in the center and then pulling your
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: hair back into a tight ponytail, it might actually be
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a better solution to keep it more gentle around the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: around the temples.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: There or you bawled evenly.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You yeah, you go straight back, yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Instead of.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: A great big bald part down the middle and it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: just all forth and end up with a ball patch
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on top.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it just absolutely hurt just how
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: far away I am from what's trendy. But I reckon also,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Like I remember I was in year nine or year ten,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: which is the same year my nieces, and I remember
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: wearing long socks and pulling them up over my trackid
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: ats and tucking your train's.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I think that's yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So I feel like fashion cyclical, and I have a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: bit of an unwritten rule that once you've worn a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: fashion you actually can't come back to it. I remember
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a few years ago bubbleskirts came back, and I was like, no,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I did bubbleskirts when I was sort of fourteen, fifteen
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: sixt and it's over right. So the fashion I have
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: now until I die is the stuff that I wore
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: when I was in my forties, and it is skinny
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: leg jeans. It is stuff that looks neat, and it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: at short socks.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I agree with you that you can't go back with
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: yourself because the danger is you go, oh, hang on,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I've still got something in the wardrobe, and you try
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to repurpose that. But I will tell you the bubble
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: skirt has never been the short girl's friend, and I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: still do not think it is the short girl's friend.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So that will be that, like the hot pants will
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: be something that the window open and closed without me
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: ever having got on that bus. No hot pants for you,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: no hot pants for me than Kylie Minogue.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Should give it a go?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Should do? Shouldn't it?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And then we'll take photos and put it in. You
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: can make you to a super game next to me.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Your next ball, I guarantee you, Lewis will go nowhere.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Near imagine imagine that, Oh dear.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: How good? Was the Grand Final? And Liz, I've got
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to say Netball Australia did such a good job. It
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: was unreal from the lunch beforehand, which had how many people?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Seven hundred and fifty people? It looks nomination.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: How many of those people did you get a photo with?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: About seven hundred and forty two?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Oh what happened to the other ones?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Oh that was just the rest of the netballer strike.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: They bore.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: They've said enough of me lately, so they didn't need
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: a photo.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: So question, is that a very difficult part for you then,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: because you're obviously at a function like that trying to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: do your job and your new.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Role get another six million bucks.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, but you've got no time to talk to the
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: people with the funds because you're being pulled for photos
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the whole time. Is that a bit tricky?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Just look, it's a little bit tricky.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But the end of the day, people like people have
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: invested their hard earned cash into the lunch and I'm
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: happy to sort of meet people and have photos taken.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And I wanted everyone to come to this lunch and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: walk away feeling they got value for money.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: It was about four hundred and fifty bucks.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a fair bit of their hard earned cash,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: And so yeah and so and and say it's pretty good.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: You know you get that includes your ticket to the game.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, look, it's just a balancing act and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get better at it as we go along.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But it was it was such a good vibe at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the lunch. You know, Will McCloy, who you commentated with,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he hosted it, did a fantastic job.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: We got the head coaches so smelling his head like,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: it was such great And to hear that they have
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: a fun are they no? Because they get along really well? Right,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: they were the sort of all I was just but.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Isn't that boring? Come on, guys, just let's see a
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: bit of a stare off, you know the boxes do
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: when they have the wayh in and they're right up
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: in one another's grill and they look like dickheads. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe network.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Could bring it, Yeah, it would have been funnier.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: But still, like someone's really funny, like she's got a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: dry sense of humor, and time is got a beautiful
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sense of humor too. So they actually bounced off each
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: other really well. And then we've got some of the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Fox commentators in so be at Chatfield, Kira Trump and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Emily Beton.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: So it was fantastic, right, So and then I just
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: got to have a chat at the end. So it
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: was a really it was just a really there was
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: a great vibe.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And then you go into the stadium and nine and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a half thousand screaming fans and you know, the Premier
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of South Australia's there, and you know federal politicians, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the chair of Sun Corpse there, so there's some really
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: high powered people there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: But then there's just so.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Many fans and it was a really joyful atmosphere and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I think that Paul is really unique in that way.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It's so joyful and everyone was so happy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I met people who from Perth ha bought tickets and they.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Were a bit gutted that Fever weren't there, but they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: were just there to have a good time, right, So it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Was so much fun. I met some Swiss fans maybe
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: they'd be optimistic buying tickets early, but still like it
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: was great. It was so much fun. And you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I would say to everyone, you know, if you think
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: about going, whether in your team's going to been or not,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: It's just a really fun weekend. And South Australia did
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: a great job.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: You came into the airport and there was like all
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: these welcome to South Australia things with the netball and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know South astraight home of the Super Netball Grand Final,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the best league in the world.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: So it was just great. It was really well done.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You felt like the whole city of Adelaide got ready
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to go fantastic.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Who actually went for a walk in the morning before
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the game and ran into a guy who had come
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: from the UK. He was a netball dad and loved
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the game, and I think since his daughter had stopped playing,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: but he still was obsessed with it, he flew over.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: He bought the package and he came all the way
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: because he said, I want to be there in the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: flesh for the best netball competition in the world and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: for the biggest game of the year.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Wow, hood goose bumps.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: How good is that?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Goosebumps?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I think there's also a lot to be said for
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: watching a really good game that you're not invested in
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: either one true teams. I really just enjoyed watching it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And when I went to the Fever Giants Game two. Yes,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I supported the Giants because it's like, well, they're the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: underdogs and they're from my town. But it's like, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: just enjoyed watching the games of netball. And this is
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: obviously it's been a few weeks since I've been able
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to see my team play, but it's there's something really
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: nice about just being able to go. I don't care
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: who wins. Look at that. That was amazing and not
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: feel any sort of sense of disappointment or you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: or irritability about a call that you think should have
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: gone another way because you've got your massive bias goggles on.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about the game a bit more, I'm sure
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: as well. But the other thing that I wanted to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: congratulate Nipball Australia on was the halftime entertainers.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: So good.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: The Royal Family crew, I reckon. I've watched that four
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: times since I've got.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: My family dance crew because the Royal Family would be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: terrible dances.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I had never heard of them before, lots of people
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: had and I looked at when I saw it, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, what have we done?
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: And then I saw them on Saturday night went what
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: have we done? That was excellent?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Noman a phenomen I'm going to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Say that you now seeing the inside of how it
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: all works. It is a really.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Small team at Netball Australia who put on this event,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and bloody hell they do a good job.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic, well done guys.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I did try and bust out some of the dance
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: moves when we went out later we.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Did some pop and I think that that sort of
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: hip hop style is a great compliment to our sport too,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: because it's about strength, it's not hyper sexualized or whatever.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: My daughter is a hip hopper and I went along
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to in as Stedford recently and she and I stayed
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: for a couple of hours afterwards watching the older age
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: groups because they're just so good and when you see
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: them doing those really strong, powerful moves, it's like this
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is just great role modeling for girls. I love it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was awesome, well done, well done round everybody
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: everyone involved.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So yes, there's a grand final to talk about. We've
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: also promised last week that we would that Catherine would
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: give us all a quick seminar on player transfers, which
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: we are entering into. Now we're in it, maybe we
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: should probably just get down and start talking about some netball.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Well, shall we start with the Grand Final? See it's hot,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that's a great.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Place to start. Last week, actually, I was thinking about
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: this and I'm wondering whether is the Grand Final the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: new Year's eve of the netball year? So are we
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: now in a new year of super netball? We start
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: looking forward? We need to start making some new year's resolutions.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: What's it?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: What's your netball resolution going to be for the next.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Well, when I say go home after I go out
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: with the girls, go home, Yeah, don't be dragged to karaoke,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that's mine. So have some will power, Catherine for the
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: next after party after the ground.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: So you're setting a fairly low benchmark for yourself. Honestly,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty good view, Liz.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So I think, oh god, this is a question. With
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: that notice, Carolyne, it totally is.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'll tell you what mine is because I
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: thought about this on the way in and my year's
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: resolution for the next Super Netball year is that I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: will go and see more live games that my team
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: is not in. I've enjoyed it so much. I loved
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: going to see that Fever game in Western Australia. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: really want to go and see a game in Queensland
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and Victoria next year because I just think it's super fun.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Welcome to my world. Come with me when I go
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: away for a work gig.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I'll go on and we'll go and make it think
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm really good at going home afterwards. We'll just
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: have a drink in the hotel.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I don't do that every week, it's only a Grand
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Final weeks, but no, let's do that. That will, yeah,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: make a weekend of it. Come to the game. I
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: know people, I can probably get your ticket.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: My news resolution is already working out really well, so
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: much better than my actual news resolutions, which never go
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: beyond it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Or was it this year?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't remember. It's probably swear less and that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that's a perennial one and it does not go particularly well.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Although I am no longer the person who swears the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: most in my family, that is my sixteen year old
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: son now, who basically cannot say a sentence without dropping
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: some type of obscenity in it. It's like, this is ridiculous,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Like I'm your mother, Like you don't need to say
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that to me. He's not swearing at me. It's just
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that it's a descriptive.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: It's like I kind of oh yeah, I swear words
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: are the best adjectives ever.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Anyways, you can come back to us on the New
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Year's resolution if you would like to, because we need
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to talk about the game on Saturday night.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: This is true, but I'm thinking that maybe my news
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: resolution is to tag along with you two.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now we're talking, you know, right though, you well
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you have to now. And it's kind of a tax deduction, now, isn't.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: It money first?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: You have to deduct it from the income. All right,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So well, we had a win. It was a close win.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It was possibly what we expected.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I expected a closer game the first quarter, though. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: got very excited when the Vixens were actually up.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: How good were they?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh my god, so good? And the game plan
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: was mint but it was very taxing. So we spoke
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: about this because they kept it short and sharp and speedy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: But We're like, that is a very very hard game
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: to play for sixty minutes without losing some of that punch.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And I think you could see that towards the end.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: But it was so good for such a long time,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and Kira Austin Oh.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was my MVP for the night for you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: apparently that doesn't count who I think she'd be the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: most valuable player, But anyway, I have a microphone now,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: so I'm young to say. I thought she had an
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: absolute blinder. And again we've talked about this. It's a
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: shame that the MVP always has to come from the
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: winning team, because I just I thought she was sensational.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: On that note, I think they got the MVP wrong,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: even from the winning team. There's been a lot of
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: shut around that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought it was a really interesting call. Anyway,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I would possibly have given it to your mate.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent would have gone to Georgia.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Well I know, but you have no filter on this stuff,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: so I'm just saying someone else who has a little
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: bit more sanity would agree with you on that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: To be fair, Catherine would have made the decision and written,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Georgie howges down before the game started.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Let's put it on the trophy for next year.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: There was somebody on Facebook, so at the start of
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the game there was an interview with Georgie Horges Sue
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Gordion did and somebody wrote on Facebook, why didn't you
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: get to do that, isn't it?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Obviously because of the restraining.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I know that, like you know, there's been a bit
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: of conjecture around who was the MVP or who should
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: have got it. But having said that, I was sorry
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: from Ramelda because you know, there was two players in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that Thunderbirds team who didn't get contracts with the teams
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that they played with last year, Laura Sherian and Ramelda Aiken,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and they've come away with a Premiership trophy and both
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of them are on court, Amelder for the whole game
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and Laura for part of the game. So like, what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a redemption arc for them. And this is why we
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: love sport, isn't it? And it was just so lovely
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to see them both.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: And I actually was standing off court waiting to go
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: uncourt for the presentation and Ramelda's husband walked over to
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: her with their little girl and she.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Just burst into tears and I've actually never seen her
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that emotional.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, and she burst it and there was no cameras around.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I thought, this is so nice that it's not being
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: caught on camera, but I will talk about it later,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: but it was just it was just a.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Beautiful moment and you could see what it meant to her,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So that was just lovely. But going back to the game,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I reckon the whole.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Vixen's game plan that, as you say, Catherine, it was
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: super taxing and you could see the whole thing was
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to keep the ball out of the air and to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: not not only high balls, but they very rarely went long.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I can only remember maybe three players where they went
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: long down the whole really long passes, and that's where
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Shamira Sterling just lived red free in the heads of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the opposition. And she didn't really dominate in terms of
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: getting lots of intercepts and being everywhere on Saturday night,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: but her impact was before the game because they had
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to devise a game plan to keep her at a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: game right. So and when I was watching that first quarter,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I was seeing to myself, God, this is really impressive,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: but it's the telling Part's going to be the end
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of the game. Into the Vixen's credit. They kept it
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: up all game. I thought kira Osa was outstanding. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: thought the work rate of Kate Maloney and sat Monday
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. So, you know, it was such a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: well thought out game plan, which you would expect nothing
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: else from some mckinner's. But the flip side is that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I thought it was impressive coaching from Tanya Obs. We
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: were sitting right behind the Thunderbirds bench and at no
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: time in that first quarter did she look flustered, did
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: she look overwhelmed.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: She just called a time out.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Super cool, super calm in the way she approached it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So it was a masterclass of coaching from both ways.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You know, the Vixens had this specific particular game style
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: that they were playing, which was really predicated around keeping
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the ball away from Shimira, and Shamira had to start
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to take risks to get a out on the ball,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and you could see her starting to fly out for
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: passes that she wouldn't have otherwise gone out for because
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: she started to get frustrated.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: And then the other end was.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You know, Tanya Obs a less experienced team even though
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: they won a Grand Final last year. I think they
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: only had about thirty nine Finals caps or something between them,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: whereas Vixen's having the seventies.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: So you know, her coaching role was just to stay
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: focused on our game plan. We don't need to change anything,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: keep doing what you're doing.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So it was a fascinating battle of two coaches who
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: at the.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Top of the game made some really good changes as well,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Like Hannah Petty's barely played all year, but she came
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: on quite early too and then played the rest of
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the game because she's just calm, like calm and brings
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: confidence to it. And you could see as soon as
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: she hit the court, everyone kind of went.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And that isn't that interesting?
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: That?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: And she's a captain, isn't.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: She She's a captain.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And she can captain effectively from the you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: she doesn't need to be in the starting seven to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: bring that calm to the to the side, and that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: leadership unreal And.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I thought on that I also thought swinging Georgie Horges
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: in the goal attack was good.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Would George well, just in goalkeeper. Let's be honest, No,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: you couldn't.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's a terrible plan.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Georgia come and sit next to me on the bench.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Well, what a terrific game, and just you know what
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: an absolute fabulous thing for our game to it, for
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the very last second of the season to have been
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: as exciting as it was. And of course, you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: we're two weeks out from finals and we still had
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: six teams in contention. It's been amazing how.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Fast has it gone, though I can't believe it's.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I know what to do so much old sign Now
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I do have to say, as I said, I wasn't
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: able to do the poll because I had to go dark.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Although since I went backstage at the Comedy Store, I
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: saw one of your mates from the Jungle there, Pete Hellier,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: who was just off stage from doing his solo show,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and your other mate from Gladiators by Ryan was in
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the audience, so it was like I might as well
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: be with Lizzellis honestly.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Two people who I just adore. That's so nice.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: But I would like to thank Catherine Ready, one of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: our fabulous dribblers, who took charge and ran the pole.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And so it was a beautifully worded question, and anyone
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: who ever wants to put up a change to the
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: constitution should ask Catherine, how do you word a question
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: simply that people understand it? It was who will win?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: So yep, that's straight now. Interestingly, at ten twenty two
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: that evening she sent through and there were there were
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: votes for a whole range of different options. So the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: umpires got one percent of the votes. The Swift's got
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: four percent of the votes, which I thought was interesting.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Thirteen percent of voters said well, I'm going to change
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: my vote later when I know more informations, which was great.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And then it was fairly even between the Thunderbirds and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the Vixens, but our dribblers thought the Vixens were going
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to win forty three percent to thirty eight percent. So
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: so everyone who judges me for my tipping, you might
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: want to look at yourselves too, because yeah, it's easy
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: to be wrong. But anyway, thank you Catherine Ready for
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: stepping in, for showing leadership amongst the dribblers. Thanks to
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: everybody for getting involved. And we saw a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: people putting up photos of what are you doing tonight
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: for your grandfarmer obviously a lot of photos from people
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: who were there. And did you buy an ice cream
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: for a dribbler's daughter at the game?
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Liz No, So yeah, no, world, No, I don't buy anything.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It's the birthday card.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: So where I was sitting, there was some food and.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Stuff given to us, and I decided to have an
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: ice cream and I was holding it and one of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: our dribblers brought up her daughter who was just so
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: cute and we had a photo and I said to her,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: can I give your daughter an ice cream?
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Because I thought, I don't want it to be weird,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: like he's this weird old lady. It's a good parent.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: And she said she said, yeah, yeah, absolutely, So I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: just gave him my drumstick.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Oh you hadn't had a lick or anything yet.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't taken the wrapping off.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And I just knew that I had a nice suit
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: on it, and really I ate a chocolate coated ice cream.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Part of it was going to end up all over me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So there was a little bit of self preservation in
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that because I knew I had to get up and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do the presentation.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: But yeah, she was waiting. Cute. How can you not
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: give your ice cream to a cute kid?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a gold class cinema and
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: ordered the food? You come out afterwards like you've been
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: rolling around in it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: It's just terrible.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: You have no idea, what have you dropped this food everywhere?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: You're lying down?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Never ever organized to go somewhere after a day in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: gold class.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm not going to complay the zealous has
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: never given me an ice cream, but anyway, plenty of
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: red wine.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Well tar he bought all the comedians ice blocks. On
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, he had two shows and so he went
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: out and brought us all ice box. Why I asked
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: for paddle pop. So there were some people who were
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: having magnums and things.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: What flavor chocolate?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: What would you go?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, rainbow?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were people having rainbow and oh no rainbow.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I called their adulthood into question. It's not a manhood thing.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: It's just like, are you seriously caramel?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: There's no caramel one or such.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: They alleged that too.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: So Rainbow's full of food glorery. Right, So you know
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: when your kids, when they're little, they have rainbow ice cream.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: When it comes out at the other end, it's not.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Like I was always like, no, no angry numbers for you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You can't have rainbow, no doubt given up. Of course
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: they have whatever they like.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my son like, honestly now will have because he
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: has some money at his disposal. It's like I'll ever
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: can a whipped cream and a red bull and go
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: that's a meal. It's like, no, it's not. And I've
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: spent sixteen years trying to force vegetables into this thing
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and like feeling guilty every time there's a food additive
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: that has one of the numbers, and it's like, oh.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Man, speaking of cans, don't bring condensed milk near me.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I will smoke that bad boy in a second. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: There were times when Catherine was living with Matthew and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I and if she came home tired and emotional, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: would get up the next morning.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: And I used to be.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Sponsored by nest Lay and I used to get these
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the tubes. And one morning I woke up and there
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: were two tubes that had had the life sucked out
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and it just left on the bench.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: That is a cry for he.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Emotional night.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And do you when I was referring to ted and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: emotional equals, but you know, when you just look at
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: filling of fish and condensed milk like I don't even
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: want to know what's showing on there, that's also something
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that comes out wrong in the other.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Egs I did, like, do you order the fil of
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a fish because you've somehow convinced yourself that's a slightly more.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Like I hate I hate fish fingers and stuff. But
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: I went through a phase where that was my go
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to Now I'm back to the Junior Burger whatever it's called.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Friday lunch. We had our own Grand Final lunch and
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: we went down to Karangaroo and we were at a
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: seafood restaurant, which I bok because I thought you liked it.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: In fact, we came up with the idea of this
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: podcast at a seafood restaurant, which you told me you
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: didn't really like seafood. So I'm learning and evolving. But
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you ordered the pasta with the prom yeah, and that
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: was something that you too, used to order regularly before games.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, Elizabeth did. Always didn't chili.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Prawn, chili, anything with chili, and if it was pro
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: like Prawn's, was a bonus. Like that's just stupid, that's
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: taking your life into your own hands ordering seafood before
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a big match.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: But you also used to say that you'd get really
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: bloated before.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Because your whole, your whole junior career, you come through
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and it's like, kay, got a car bload, got a
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: car bload, and then we would have farts and like
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: tummy pains and because we just had this massive thing
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: of pasta, and then you're like, oh my god, there's
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: so much carb in other stuff like fruits and stuff.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: We didn't really know about it. I don't think so, yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: I don't. I haven't had pasta for ages.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: That's so good. It just made me laugh that you
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: two thought you were doing the right thing ordering these
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: prawn pastors, and it's like, oh, I can't move yea.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: And those dresses are not particularly forgiven if you've got
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: some bloating, are they? But I remember turns black will
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: hide a multitude of sins, won't it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I remember teammates after we've been out for a big
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: lunch before games that have had big feet of pasta
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: lying on the ground trying to you know, de gas,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: trying to get into good positions.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: When your kids are little and they have a tummy
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: pain because they can't fight, and you pick.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Up their knees and sort of roll around and squeeze,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: that's what we should have picked them to one another.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: What's your warm up for today?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Well? I do remember someone doing that specifically. That's funny,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So one of the things we promised last week, Kath
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: is that you would tell us all because we're now
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: obviously going into a really interesting period in the new
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: year of Super Netball. We are focused on next year.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Who who's going to be playing for?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Where? How does this happen?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: So contracting period has started. It started on Monday, the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: day after the Grand Final.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: That's good, Mad Monday people make excellent decisions.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Well let's hope the coaches aren't on Mad Monday and
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: the administrators. But thank you also to Beck Baxter because
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: she went on our Facebook page and put up all
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: of the teams, yes, and the players that were still
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: under contract and who was off contract. So if you
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: want to see have a good look who's on and off,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: go on to our Facebook page and do that.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: And if you are not on our Facebook page, come
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: join us. We're three and a half thousand strong now
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: no Dribble podcast on Facebook. Come and join the conversation.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's the nicest group of people you're ever going to meet.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But they do tell a nice out of us, which
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I quite like they do. Yeah.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so it started on Monday and it's only
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: really two and a half weeks. So teams, administrators, coaches, whatever,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I think would have already had a very good idea
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: about who they wanted to chase because there's not a
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: lot of time. So by the twenty third of August,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: it's all done, and then from the twenty fifth of
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: August that's when you can open up to signing training partners.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Clubs have been able to sign their own team though,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: so that's just players that aren't in your own team.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: They have been able to sign their own team all season,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: and they had up till just before the Grand Final
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: to make sure those players were resigned if that's what
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: they wanted to do. So yeah, it's a really really
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: quick turnaround. So within a few weeks we're going to
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: have a pretty good idea of who's where for next season.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: How exciting. It's good to have stuff to talk about.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: But can you I don't know whether you can speculate
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: on this or not. I was really interested in a
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago the Firebirds before they had announced
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: a new coach, saying that Danelle and Remy Carmo won't
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: be offered new contracts. So who's making those decisions if
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you don't even have a coach on board?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And I think it was important for that announcement to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: come early because it's certainly good for the players. Although yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I mean they don't have they probably thought they were
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: going to be there, which is a bit of a
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: shock to the system, but at least there was enough
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: time for other clubs to know they're available for those
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: conversations to start before the signing period did so. Hopefully
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: now they're in some serious chats as of today as
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: to where they might be. But yeah, it's fascinating, isn't
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: it really interesting? But it's also interesting that they had
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: to announce that coach soon because if Queensland want to
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: recruit players, those players want to know who the coach
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's also worthwhile pointing out that recruitment decisions are often
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: made by a department, like a netball department, which will
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: have a high performance manager and a few other.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Bits and pieces.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: So sometimes that can happen whether there's a coach signed
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: or not, And you wonder if they've been in talks
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: with his coach in the background, and yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Like it is really interesting.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: It would be really interesting to know how decisions are made.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: But it's not just the coach who's selecting these teams.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: It's usually a whole department that he's involved in the selection.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: When Danelle ends up, I don't know.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: We need to shit.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: You know when we went to watch Firebirds. I went
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to watch Firebirds play Fever this year and she just
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: took that game by the scruff of the neck. She
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: was phenomenal and she's such a show woman. You know,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: she loves the crowd. The crowd loves her. I could
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: watch her play all day. She's amazing.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well, for what it's worth, Briani, which I know is nothing,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: this Swift's member would be happy to see her as
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a shooter.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll be interesting to see who they recruit.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And you know it has unique Plavi done enough to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: be called up and given up like she's amazing too.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: And there's not a lot of shooting spots around.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: So one in each team and then there's a goal
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: attack in each team. If you need me to explain
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: any of this thing, and I'm happy.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: To as in off contract, he's not.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: A shooter off contracted every team. What a lot to
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: catch up to that. It's been a long weekend.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: The other important thing to note is that they can
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: only offer contracts of one to two years max. Because
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: that's the end of the next of this broadcast deal.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: At that point, the right.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: On three year contracts, but that started more than a
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: year ago. Very good, thank you all right, So you
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: know this. We do this every week. It's one of
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: our very favorite things to do. It's where we ask
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: you to tell us about the people who are keeping
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: our game alive at the community level around the country.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: We have had nominations from almost every state and territory
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: in Australia and almost and only the Act has been
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: lagging and lack us. Okay, do we have a nomination
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: from the Act?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: We do?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: We do? We have got a voice note. This ticks
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: so many boxes for us. There are so many gold
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: stars here. But Erin from the Act has sent us
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: a voice note and have a listen to this. And
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: this is why we love a voice note, because it's
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: so much more compelling when you, guys tell us rather
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: than us reading aloud what you've written. So let's hear
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: from Aaron.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Hi, guys, my name is Erin and I'd like to
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: nominate my mum, Lisa from the Act for being a
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: wind beneath our winger. Mum has been a netny mum
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: for the last twenty four years. She's supported my sister
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: and I in all our netball journeys from NetSec go
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: to NETTA to netball, including through the highs and lows
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: of several rep State League and state teams. When I
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: was ten years old, she was my coach for a season,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and she told me years later she hated the experience
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: and prayed every Thursday for rain so that she could
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: cancel training, but she did it so that the team
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: had a coach and so that I could play. Over
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: the years, she's also scored, been uniform and competition coordinator
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: for our schools and local club shout out to Arrowing
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Netball Association, and a club committee member, as well as
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: being number one taxi driver, cheerer and Lolly's empower aid supplier.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: Growing up, Mum intended all over our games to support us,
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: including those who were only up hurry, and continues to
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: do her best to show up to our games even
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: now in my thirties. She tries to come to my
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: social games, including the nine forty five PM one's when
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: she's able to. She even continued to come watch me
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: while she was undergoing breast cancer treatment a few years ago. Thankfully,
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: she's in remission now and has embraced the alice bands
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: and scrunches to manage her post chemo long locks. So
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I just want to say, thanks, Mum. You are one
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: hundred and ten percent the wind beneath the wings of
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: my sister and I and we are so so grateful
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: for everything you've done and continue to do for us.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: We love you so good?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: How good was that?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: So good? You know what the best thing about that was?
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I may one stage in Harper's life get a thank
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: you for coaching her.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Team, and you'll get a scrunchy thank you. Eron and Lisa,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: not only are you the wind beneath the wings of
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: your two daughters, but you are the wind beneath all
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: of our wings. And good to hear the shout out
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: for the air Away Netball Association too. We'd love to
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: know what netble associations you're from. So Lisa, there's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: scrunchy coming your way.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: And a twenty five dollars printy wine about you. That
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: was smart keeping it in the fan. The fan they
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: can show thank you for our friends at Prince Ye.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I Reckon, that's all we've got time for today. I
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: want a dream team. Can we get a dream team
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: cranking on Facebook? Just in our off season? If you
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: suddenly came up with bazillion dollars. You had your own
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: team and would team. Yeah, I like.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: That, So it has to be current players, yeah, oh
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: or whatever.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: If you want to put me in a goal shooter,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: you're an idiot to do it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Well, Lisa's pulled on a bit. Maybe. Well, I got
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to say, there's a certain under eleven's coach, you probably
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: deserves a call up to the coaching lineup of.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: The Dream Team.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: There you go, you can have that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: How much did you relate to what Aaron was saying
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: that Lisa would pray for rain for training sometimes because
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: we've had all the training and none of the games.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: It's like, now we've had a game on the weekend,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, maybe it could rain tonight. I wouldn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: mind skipping a training too.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: It's cold. Yeah. I woke up with a little in
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: my throat and I'm like, oh, am I sick enough
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: to call it off.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that the greatest thing of COVID? Oh sorry, I
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: can't come. I've got a sore throat.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you what the greatest thing about COVID was.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Harper was at that age where every park you went
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: past can we go to the park, cod I was like, no,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: they're all everywhere, and I think I carried that on
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: after COVID for another couple of yees.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: You know, the worst part of going to the park
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: is playing shop keeper ice It's oh and here's a
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: bit of chip bark that I'm paying for. My think
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: up another ice cream flavor moment, it's like, please shoot
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: me now.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know, like they'd say, what can I
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: get you lady? Oh well, I'll have a chocolate milkshake. Sorry,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: we don't have any milkshakes and I have a toast it. No,
• 37:55

• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, no that's not happening. I'm Katherine Cox.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm Liz Ellis, and Katherine Cox could have run
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: out of sight on the dark knight.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I actually had to run the other night,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: because you know how, I do a runner when I'm done,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: when I'm out. I legitimately ran down the street to
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: get away. I had to. Everyone was watching me and
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: they knew what I was up to. Anyway, You're inconspicuous recently.
