  Speaker 1: Well, if you enjoyed musical chairs as a kid, you're
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: probably having a good time, but not everyone is enjoying
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: this particular round of musical chairs.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: But anyway, you're on No Dribble.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Strap in.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Woo-hoo!
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we talk
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about netball, but we talk about so much more. My
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm Kath Cox.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: And I'm Liz Ellis and I'm in the house.
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: I wonder if that's why your voice was so high
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: when you said strap in.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You normally quite guttural, like strap in. You were strapping.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Oh God, not you too.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Royalty in the house welcome you're well why are you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: why are we lucky enough to have you here.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Well oh you know the answer and.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Device we use in podcasting oh.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: It is what you ask a question that you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: the answer yes you also do that when you're a
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: barrister in court you never ask a question that you
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: don't know the answer to so for those of you
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: who wish to go down that line of profession, that's
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: one of the things you must know. Anyhow, so I'm
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: here because tomorrow, Tuesday, we are celebrating a year to
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: go to the Netball World Cup.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. That's going to fly by too, isn't it?
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Given how fast the last few years have flown. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: every time anything comes up and I'm like a year
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: to go, I get a bit anxious because it's like, oh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: so much to do. We have a great team in place,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: so that's okay. But there will be a big celebration tomorrow.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: By the time this podcast has gone to air, you'll
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: know whether we've drowned or not on the floating.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Netball court over Sydney Harbour.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm excited.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: What happens when a ferry.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: Goes past and there's waves? Does the ball just roll
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: overboard and that's the end of the game?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, wouldn't that be good?
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I'd rather a ball roll overboard than a player
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: roll overboard.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So Carolyn will be there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd rather a player roll overboard than a podcast host,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: for instance.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I will be there in the morning. You're at a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: lunch party.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got a business Sydney lunch in the afternoon.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Can I just quickly interject with a story that just
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: reminded me of when the Diamonds were in camp, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: must have been when I was playing, but they had
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: some of the older Diamonds, the history of the Diamonds
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: come in.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It was when they used to travel by ship.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: To go to England and they would say that when
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: they were jacket training, oopsie, a ball would go overboard.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine catching a ship to a World Cup.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Like you're months on board. Yes, before you even get there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, when we did get told that, it stopped us
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: whinging for a good 15 minutes or so.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: 15, wow.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it really hit home.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: We're like, okay, maybe we shouldn't whinge about having to
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: fly economy class to the U.K.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we started to whinge. It's how you pass the time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Although if you have long legs, being on a ship
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is better than being in economy class, but it's the time.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Take it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because they also said they got sick, remember, because
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: of their lacking food or whatever else was on the ship.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Gastro on cruises. Oh, hi, Annie Marie. I hope you're
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: having a lovely honeymoon on the cruise. Yeah, so that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is tomorrow. Now, I have here some information from the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Netball World Cup. This is what I think is quite extraordinary,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is that we are, so we had the previous record
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: attendance at a World Cup, 110,168 attendees, plus my own
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: empire ticket.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I just went along because I was working there.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So we're aiming for 200,000.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, surely that's easy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Surely, surely.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Over the course of, what, a week or 10 days,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: we should be able to do that. 12 days of competition.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: That's right, Morda. It's almost like you know what you're
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: talking about and I don't.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Do we know what the very first game is? So
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: one year from now, will we wake up going, oh,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that was a blinder between... I don't know. Some people
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: might know, not us.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: No, the draw will be done later in this year. So, yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Everyone put your requests in. Liz needs more stuff on
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: her list. I do. I'd love to get everyone's ideas
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: on how you want the World Cup to run. That'd
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: be great. Thanks. Oh, God, there's not enough hours in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many messages a week I get
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for you? Can you ask Liz this?
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: No.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What's your own fault?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: What's our fault? We opened it up there. Ask the goat.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We invite it. Ask the goat. Yeah, but you can't
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just send something. It has to be an entertaining question
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for us all. But Catherine, how's your morning been?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Do you know what?
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: I actually thought this morning, well, I thought this year
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I had hit a sweet spot. So this morning was
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: the Book Week Parade.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But about a month ago..
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Harper comes home and goes, oh, we've been chatting at
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: school about book week and we're going to do a
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: group thing. And I'm like, oh my God, it's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: month out. Nearly died of shock because normally it's the
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: week before and then you're mad scrambled by the poor parents.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, this is great. So I sat
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: back and then someone's parent had apparently gone shopping and
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: got some stuff for them.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And this was all going to plan.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Next minute, Friday afternoon, Harper goes, oh, so apparently they
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: only got some costumes for a couple of the kids.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: So Mum, so can we just spray paint this T-shirt?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: What the hell do they think?
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll just get the spray paint out and I'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: sort your T-shirt out. And I'll just need to get
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: some green stockings. Oh, yeah, because green stockings are everywhere.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Dime a dozen. And then we'll sort it out. I'm like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: my God, give me a month.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: And then I can get on Timo and order all
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: the crap that you need. instead of giving it to
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: me at the last minute. Anyway, I don't know how
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: on earth we got half a costume together and sent
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: them along, but it was half-assed at first.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I saw the photo on your social media and it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: very good. And what I wanted to praise you on
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is it's not just an out-of-the-box order online, here's your costume.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You actually, it's like this is brought together by, with
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the greatest respect, an amateur costume maker.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you, yes. But I still cop the shit. What's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the character?
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, so they all went as do not open this
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: book character, characters, and she was Nessie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So like a green something. I don't know.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Anyway, but you still have to look good. So we
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: bought the green paint to do the face painting all
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: green because she had the green stockings, but then decided
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: she just wanted to put the green paint on.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: As like blush. Just in these bits here. Like, oh,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: for God's sake.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I just sat back. We got the last minute costume. Like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: this is good as it gets. sit back and you
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: can do the rest of it. But then this morning,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: he still says to me on the way, some parents
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: do such a good job with this stuff.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And then looked at me, I'm pretty sure I was
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: off the hook.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Can I share an outrage? My daughter is in high school.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: They're doing Book Week.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: No. It's over.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Wait, just year seven or the whole of high school?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care. She's in high school.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Do you know what Harper School does really well is
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: they've got the two campuses, so the junior campus and
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: the senior campus. So when we got there this morning,
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: the senior campus had got the school band in and
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: the whole band.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Was marching around doing it. It was unreal. So the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: place was buzzing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So you think it was high school?
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So that's their contribution. They don't actually do book week
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: as such. That's very cool.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: So this year book week for Austin's school, it's outstanding.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: It's a toilet roll competition. No, paper towel roll competition.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: So they all have to get a paper towel. roll,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: you know, the long cylinders and decorate it in a
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: book character.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, so they don't have to wear it. Oh, it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: so good. I'm like, mate, just go and glue some things.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic. It's so good. I got it and I'm like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: do you want to do it? He goes, not really.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I said, I'll just colour in something. You'll be fine.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I love that the school is doing this though because
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it is absurd. It can get so out of hand.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I loved it. And I don't believe it's driving literacy necessarily, but,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Well, particularly when a lot of kids turn up as
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: movie characters and you can make a bit of a
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: tenuous argument that, you know, books and movies, and I
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: think I've said this before.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: What?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Bless you.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: I think I've said this before. Evelyn in her latter
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: years just turned up as, are you right, dude?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Are you allergic to me?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: In the latter years of primary school, Evelyn just turned
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: up as Grace on the Court from Maddie Pratt's school.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: So she just wore a netball uniform, which is fantastic.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: But in terms of reading, she was into so many
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: other things. So I get that it's Like I sort
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: of understand stuff, but who's got time?
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: And between the Easter bonnet parade and, you know. Didn't
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: you say they made them do the bonnet at school?
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, which is fantastic. I'm loving it. That's what they
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: should do.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: That's what primary school used to do.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Between the Easter.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Bonnet parade and school this week, there's a lot to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: think about.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: There is a lot to think about.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Anyway, I think I've said this before as well. I've
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: told this story before, but I shall tell it again
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: because it was my finest moment for book week. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: just went and bought a heap of secondhand saucepans and
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Evelyn went as a saucepan man one year and she
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: loved it. No, the saucepan man from the Magic Faraway Train.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: We just hung saucepans around her and she just went
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: along and banged the saucepans.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Together and thought she was funny as. Got in trouble
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: for being a bit noisy in the classroom. But it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: was great.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: So you've just got to have one big moment, you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: like that you smashed it out of the ballpark and
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: then you're off the hook forever for life. It was
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: sad though watching the year sixes go around today but.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like we need to worry about that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: No, I will give you comfort in knowing that the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Year 6 parents weren't sad.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: The Year 6 parents were happy.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: They will be sad when their kid leaves primary school,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but the end of book week is not, or the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Easter hat parade, these are not times. that you mourn.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: You love Neville game.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Dance concert.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: This means they're growing up though, you know.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: They're growing up.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: We're in the middle of HSC trials at the moment.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, God. I didn't look where I slope.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: The trial was for the parents.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Gordon. Like, it's so annoying. Why? Just he's really cranky.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Real cranky. The worst thing is he's a boarding school.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So does he not leave the cranky there? He brings
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the cranky home.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: No, he'd still get our food.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: In fact, this weekend he even stayed Saturday night at
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: school because being in the middle of trials, as a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: weekly boarder, he usually has to come home on Saturday morning.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But he was allowed to stay an extra night and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he did some extra study. But I think that we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: got seven days' worth of crankiness in one day.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was good of him to save it all.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And sugar in amongst it as well. But, you know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I ate the sugar. It's on the bench. A whole
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: pile of chocolate chip cookies.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: He's doing some therapy baking, which is nice. But, Liz,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Maddie Proud's Grace on Court.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Which I think, once again, an outstanding segue because Maddie
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Proud is now retiring from our great game. And I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: think that we should probably take a little break and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: then talk about some netball.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Good idea. Go me on the segue.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Go you on the segue. Have you ever written a segue,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: one of those?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I love you, but no, don't ever do that. Absolutely not. Oh,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: my God, no.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Given how busted I am from the weekend's netball game
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: that I just played when I was on both.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: My feet, no. Yeah.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: No.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I'd much rather do radio segues and wheeled segues. Have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you ridden one? You have to be quite– it's a balance,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: isn't it? Like you're leaning forward to make it move and.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Back to– It does have handlebars, their segue, doesn't it?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It's not like the– well, there's– What are they?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, the hoverboards.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now the segways have handlebars just so you've got
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: something to fly over the top of.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Something to whack your teeth on.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They used to have them around Uluru, but when we
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: went out to visit a couple of years ago, I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: don't think that they still had them. So maybe common
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: sense is prevalent.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It's a long way from a hospital.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: So we're going to.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Have to talk about signings. Obviously, we record on a Monday.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: There's stuff that we know today that by the time
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: this goes to air won't be valid anymore. I do
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: have a very exciting announcement to make, which we alluded
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to in the social media yesterday, but we're going to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: do at the end of the segment. But we've been
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: talking to the Sirens and they're going to let us
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: share one of their major signings this week. So one
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday and one on Friday.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: So exciting.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But big news has landed this week. Lots, lots of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: huge news has landed. But I guess the biggest one
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: today for Monday morning is Kate Eddy. Kate won't be
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: playing in Super Netball next year. Kate Eddy, who I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: think was bloody unlucky to not get picked up for
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the Diamonds this year.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Kate Eddy, who had a blinder of a season.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: That's... Heartbreaking. And reading her post, it's.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Well, she said it's a miscommunication. So there's clearly more
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: to the story. But you have to wonder how much
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: this is going on. Players having conversations with clubs, clubs
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: assuring them there's a position until maybe in their.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Eyes something better comes up.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Because not long before that, Ash Irvin was announced as
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: going to the Vixens. I hadn't heard Irvin being on
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the Vixens radar as a rumour at any point.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Had anyone else?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the earliest rumours that I had heard,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that that is... Yeah, I had been hearing that for
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: quite some time.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: You just wonder how much is waiting for the ideal
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: player or one that's available. For instance, O'Shaughnessy not being
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: picked up. Now, who's going for O'Shaughnessy? There's so much
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: going on behind the scenes, as we've alluded to, but
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: it sounds like maybe she was promised a spot and
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: then the decision was changed.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: And, yeah, I don't know, but, I mean, I read
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Kate's message this morning and I was disappointed for her
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: and disappointed for the Vixens. So the Vixens have had
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: this beautiful reputation as a really close-knit group and that
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: looks like that may not be the case anymore. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Kate wrote some beautiful words about her teammates in particular
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: about Kate Maloney as a leader. And as much as
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: we've all been like, wow, this is so entertaining and
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: checking you out, you know, your feeds and that sort
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: of stuff. This is a really good example, I think,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: of just the human toll that like a period like
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: this takes. And it's why, like, it's why I'm pleased
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: that this is the last time this sort of mad
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: scramble will happen because it was always going to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: the case that someone missed out somewhere. And the fact
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that it's a player as good as Kate Eddy Whoa, she'll.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Be a huge loss to the league.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Well, and it was the words to write at the
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: end about being whatever's next.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And it's a bit scary. And it is so true.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Like if you've been an athlete, your whole working life,
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: so to speak, and, you know, haven't done much else,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: what is next?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: That is very scary. Yeah, really.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: And- It's not like Kate would have had a long
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: time to think and plan for what's next. She would
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: have rightly assumed that she would have a contract, if
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: not with Vixens, then somewhere else. So, you know, when
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: I think about my retirement, I had lost time to
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: think about it. You had the same time to prepare
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: for it. But if suddenly you don't have a contract,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: then it's pretty brutal.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Fingers crossed, though. The good thing is there's a lot
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of holes still in team lists. Yes.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Now that that's been announced publicly, potentially someone goes, you beauty,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Kate Eddy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I guess that means then, though, that someone else misses out.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And this is the really sad thing. I went to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a New South Wales Rugby Union lunch on Friday and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the CEO of Rugby World Cup, which is in Australia
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: next year, was there speaking and they're talking about 90%
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of rugby players leave the game, not of their own accord.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So now there's only 10% of players who get to go,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I'm retiring now in the way that I want to. So,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a product of professional sport. And,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you know, we had that great clip last week that
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: we shared on socials, Kath, and a lot of people
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: responded to what you were sharing there about the impact
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: upon you. But they were quite a very small minority
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but a significant number of people going that's professional sport
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's like well yeah it is but they're still people
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and we're still you know these are people's lives and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: if you were um there's a great podcast called sportish
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: with Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett so Libby was Libby
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Lenton Lisbeth Lenton swimmer um Anyway, then they talk a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: lot about sport, about parenting and the like.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: And Libby had.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Watched that show with, who's the swimmer who ended up? Scott.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Scott Miller. Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And when she was talking about having watched the show,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Scott Miller show, and she talked about what it
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: feels like to stand up there and accept a silver medal.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And when you have tried so hard and to understand
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that people are going, well, you should be grateful you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: could have not got any medal at all. But it's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: like the intensity required to be the professional athlete or
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the top level amateur athlete, depending on what sport you're with.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And that we, particularly as Australians, we are obsessed with
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: our athletes. Like we have to be understanding of the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: fact that there is a personal toll on them. when
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: things don't work out the way they want. And I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: suspect that rugby is not unusual, 90%. I suspect that
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it's probably 90% of all top-level sports people have their
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: career ended by injury or non-selection or whatever else, not
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: in the way that they would desire.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called a fairy tale because it's a fairy tale, right?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: And, you know, yes, it's the price you pay for
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: having a professional league, but it doesn't make it an easy...
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: thing to swallow when you're the athlete. So I think
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: you're right. I think it's really difficult. And, you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: when I sat on the board of the Australian Sports
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Commission years ago, we grappled with this a lot about
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: how do you improve the road into retirement for athletes,
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: particularly when they don't know it's coming.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: And when they don't know it's coming and, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: it's the same for Olympic athletes, right? So they do
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: all that work and then they're superstars and heroes for
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: two weeks and happened a lot after the Sydney Olympics
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: and And then after the circus has moved on, what happens, right? So,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: and I will say that Australian sport over the last
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: 20 years since I retired has generally moved ahead in
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: leaps and bounds. And there are, you know, people employed
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: in wellbeing roles at all super netball clubs and and
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: within Netball Australia. But it still doesn't make that moment
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: of losing your contract or not getting picked up easier.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: It just means that there might be people to help
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: you transition into the next point. Like when I retired,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: that's my retirement, I got the fairytale and there wasn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: that whole transition team whereas, you know, now there is
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: a bit more available but you can always do better
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: as a sport and reflect how you do it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: So we should.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's been a lot of, yeah, a lot
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of sadness, you know, Sharni Lamb has said she doesn't
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: have a contract. Haven't heard yet about Emily Mannix, but
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it looks like she probably won't have a contract. I
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: don't think she's come out and definitively said, I don't
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: have a contract. Rudy Ellis is going.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: To the Swifts.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: The Swifts, another Ellis in defence.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: For the Swifts. Makes me so happy. Oh my gosh.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Would you like to hear some other happy news?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I've been doing some sniffing around and I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: have been starting to talk to some people at SEN
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and they're very conscious, Giants members, that the flow of
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: information has not been what you want it to be
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: at this stage and they don't officially take over until
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the 1st of October. So I guess that means there
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: is quite a difficult sort of Whose job is this?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Who owns this information?
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: But this is good to know because we didn't know that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that. And I've been sitting at home going,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: why am I still getting details from the giants? The
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: giants don't exist anymore. So even that is, I think,
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: really comforting to people to know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: And that's something.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: So I haven't been given that information in confidence. I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: saw that in the public domain that they don't officially.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And I guess that's just a, this stuff takes time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: There are legal processes about.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Who owns the entity and then when you can transfer
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: it over. And it's not just a matter of setting
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: up a new Instagram account and away we go. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I guess there are probably, looking to the lawyer in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the room, that all of those social media accounts that
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: are signed up for the Giants netball, that data is, well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: that information of that account is given to Giants netball.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: They can't just go, oh, we'll give that to whoever
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the hell we want. there has to be a process.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So therefore, you know, these things are taking a little time.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: So SEN are aware, they want Giants members to feel
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: very much a part of this and they very much
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: want you on board.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So you're saying sirens?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, SEN management.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for the signs.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, what was I saying?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, you just kept saying SEN. I'm just clarifying that's
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: what you mean.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: For the signs.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: But anyway, as part of that, they have told us
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: some exciting information that we can share in today's podcast.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And that is a new signing. So this is a..
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, so Amy Sligo won't be playing the whole season
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: by herself.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: No.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: No.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great news.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: I was looking forward to seeing it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's capable of it, but it would have
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: been impressive. You know those people that play all the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: instruments on their knees? But I don't know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: They're going to need to do some more because it's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: another mid-quarter.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, so are they not new? Like this is a
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: player we've seen before?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: We have seen this player in Super Netball.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: But not for the Giants?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Not for the Giants. Oh. So they are new to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the club.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Can we play hot and cold?
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: So are they from a Melbourne club previously?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Hot, hot, hot.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Are they from the Vixens? Cold, cold. Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that only leaves the Mavericks.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. I think I've
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: already said mid-quarter.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, did one maybe spit a child out recently?
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: Oh!
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Super hot, super hot.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: What's the only one I can think of? Molly Jovi.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Molly Jovi, wow.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's an exciting year now.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: And I think because she put a post up last
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: week and was sort of talking about changing perspective on
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: netball since having her baby who is a boy named something.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Molly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Cute though.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Very cute. But, yeah, sort of talking about that change
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of perspective and I think a few people thought, oh,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: she's gone. She's out of netball. And then certainly in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: one of my many netball group chats it's like, yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: she never said she was retiring so maybe she's going
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: somewhere else.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And you heard it here first. Wow.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you heard it here first if you're listening to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: us on a Wednesday. Molly Jovic is signing with the Sirens.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Big.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: The Sirens.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Good pick-up.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: And from what I've seen, players come back better when
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: they're mothers. So that's an even better pick-up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Also, two mid-quarters are going to run the show.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Two mid-quarters are going to run the show.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Captain, vice-captain, there they go.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: LAUGHTER First in.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We have another siren signing announcement on Friday. So do
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: join us then for that. But, yeah, so there's a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: lot of good news. There's a lot of exciting news.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Swifts fans will have seen Mary Cholock is going to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: be your shooter for this year.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: So that is Kayla Graham signed with the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Oh!
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's two goal shooters without a spot now, guys.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Just two. Vanderberg, Wecky.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: And only two teams left.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Only two teams left.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Thunderbirds and Sirens, hey? Do we just assume they're going
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: the way that we think they're going to go?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think that the Thunderbirds would be very loath
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to let them.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I agree. They would play.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Speaking of the Thunderbirds too, remember last week we said,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised not to see any long-term signings yet. Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: So Thunderbirds, two of them for three years, Shamira and.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: The first three year was Amy Sligar.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Wasn't she? That's amazing. Okay.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Was she?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Did I miss that? So 2029.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: Jeez.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: But how good that you've got your two Jamaican superstars
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: as a package deal for the next three years to
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You'd be wrapped. What a place to start.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to some more Jamaican announcements this week.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's happening out west. There's still some
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: spaces out there. We know we've seen some Jamaicans there.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we will see. And do we know where
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: all of the Heffernans are yet?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: No, Kate has not announced.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Georgia, though, after I said last week you'd be dumb
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: not to pick her up or after the Comm Games
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I said that, has ended up in Lightning, obviously. That's
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: been announced throughout the week since we last spoke.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And Lightning are full now.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Lightning are the only club done, which I'm surprised about.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Still little patchy holes everywhere because I know I've made
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: myself a little two-pager. And I'm filling them in.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Flybirds have got three to go. Yeah, and getting Caracana
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: was a big get for them.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: That's enormous. Yeah, massive.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But also..
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: What about Tabitha Packer though? Did anyone else go, who?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: When that was announced? But how good is this? Like
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: this is not something we normally see. So there's also.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Been another new player for the Adelaide Thunderbirds and that's
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Jasmine McKay.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: But Liz and I..
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: We're kind of across that one because their mum, Sarah Suddy,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: used to play. So I've seen Jazz on socials through Sarah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: But as far as Tabitha Packer, I had to get
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: straight on the Googles. Like, who is this kid?
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Where does she come from?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And what have you learned?
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Well, from Adelaide as well. So they're breeding them thick
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: and fast and an absolute superstar. So it plays across
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: wing defence, goal defence and mid-court, I believe. MVP in
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: the grand final at the under-19s last year. She was
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: a tournament MVP at the under-17s, so she's obviously an
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: absolute superstar.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: How old is she? Two years training partner with the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Adelaide Thunderbirds, Price, 21. Wow.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: So I love that we're finally seeing some fresh faces
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: in the mix as well as some new recruits that
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: might be coming internationally this year by the time this
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: is all wrapped up. Yeah, and should we be successful
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: in seeking Olympic inclusion? It's these players that will be
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: the ones that will be And in the perfect age
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: group come 2032.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: So keep an eye on it. Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: And it's funny, I got a bit teary when I
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: saw Jazz getting signed. I don't know what it is
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: when your old teammates, when their kids step up and play.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: It's like, you know, it's Shelley O'Donnell's daughter, Hannah Mundy
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: playing for the Vixens. Jenny Borlase from Adelaide, her daughter...
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: played at the olympics for the opals at the last
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: olympics her son is a footballer for adelaide so it's
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: just so lovely to see your old teammates you see
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: their kids pop up doing amazing things so i was
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: so pumped for sats.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: And what a place for jazz to start shamira sterling
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: humphrey and latonya wilson that's who she's playing in defense
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: with yep oh.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal how good how good my god Very exciting.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, I don't know, by the time, we keep
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: saying this, by the time this goes to air, everything
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: will be done and dusted. But, you know, maybe we
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: don't do done and dusted in it. Well, it's got
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to all be done by next week, I think, doesn't it?
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Next week we have to start announcing the 11th player,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I think. Anyway, but, yes, exciting news. Also some sad news,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and that's a bloody sad reality of professional.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Sport, I think.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But speaking of which, what?
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Just looking at you with admiration as usual.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: We should take a little break and come back and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: talk about professional sport.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I have a massive thing that makes me go, hmm,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: this week. And I reckon as a nation, probably quite
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a few of us have been saying, hmm, this week
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: in the most irritated fashion. So obviously we've seen what's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: happened with the Sydney Swans this week. And that is
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a very sadly familiar bloody story that we are seeing
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: this again, where it appears that some men think that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a woman's body is up to them to make a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: decision about. Setting aside All of that. And it's very
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: hard to set it aside because it's a criminal offence.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's grossly disrespectful. It has..
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It is alleged. Allegedly.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Yes. Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: All allegations. But can I point this out? And this
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: is something that has burned in my head since I
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: heard this. Isaac Heaney, against whom there are allegations at
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: this stage, appears to be on a salary, a base
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: salary of between $ 1 million and $ 1. 3 million. That is his,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: on six-year contract, that is his base salary. Now, from
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: what I can tell in the public arena, again, a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: super netball salary cap for a team of 10 professional
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: players is $ 890, 000. So this one player is worth, let's say,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: all of the Adelaide Thunderbirds and half of the Dixons.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: So that is one player's salary. We get those 15 players.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Couple of issues for me here. One, you don't think
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in the week before you started to look at going
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: into the finals that you should probably take that massive
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: salary and go home to bed to make sure that
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you are ready to be fresh for the game. And
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: regardless of what the allegations are with the young woman
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: in question, they were out on the piss. You are
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: earning that much money. But also, can I ask the sponsors,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why are we investing so much
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: money in the sports that keep being on the front
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: page for absolutely the wrong reasons when we have this
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: sport with these incredible athletes who are not just athletes
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: but role models and they are getting, like even the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: best of the players, are getting less than a tenth
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of one of these players who doesn't think it's important
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: that he does his job well enough for his fans
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that he should go and get some bloody rest. I just,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: this defies logic to me and it almost makes a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: mockery of it saying this is the things that make
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: you go, hmm, segment, because it's actually the things that
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: make me go, for fuck's sake.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I could almost see the steam coming out of your ears. Alex,
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: when you put this on socials, can you just do a.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Little bit of, that'd be good, thanks.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. Well said indeed.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: AFL salary cap $ 17. 7 million per club. Oh, I'm dreaming
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: all day. Now, they do have to have 37 to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: 44 players within that cap, but the disparity here is extraordinary.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: NRL salary cap for 30 players is $ 11. 95 million a season.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: So it's just... There's so much more money in these games.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And then as a result, the women who are playing
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the same games, AFLW and NRLW players, they don't get
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: paid anywhere near what the blokes get paid, but they
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: get paid more on average than a Super Netball player does.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And I think that there's a lot of sponsorship professionals
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: who should probably be taking the look, well, what's the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: impact that we can have if.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: We were to start supporting Australia's largest participation.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Sport for women and girls? Here endeth the rant.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you for coming to your TED Talk. Look, it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: just made us all go. Head scratching continues.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Shall I say something a bit brighter to finish this?
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I think we should. I think it's necessary.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we talked last week about how hard it
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: is to get a four-peat in any sport, and I
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: was very happy to hear from Natalie George from ACT.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: So ACT State League Division 1. Tuggeranong have just completed
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the four-peat. They had a win on the weekend.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: 69 to 48, but four times in a row.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Well done, Tuggeranong.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: It's bloody amazing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: That is outstanding. I used to work at Shady Hayes
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Surf Shop in Tuggeranong.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Did you? Well, when I say used to, there was
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: that one day that I went to work at Shady House.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I saw you in Canberra at Riley Fair Surf Shop
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: in Canberra. We know why you're working there.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Did you have your dyed your hair with Ajax that
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: week when you went to work there?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: See, this is my dream job come true.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: No, I was at the AIS and we had to
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: have jobs or do something if we weren't studying and
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: And I knew the Shady Hayes owners while I'd babysat
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: for their family and worked a bit with them in Sydney.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: And then when I moved to Canberra, I rang them
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: and they said, yeah, we can have you at Tuggeranong
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: at our store. At that beachside suburb of Tuggeranong. It's
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a bit of a hike.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So when I drove out there one day and
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: did one shift, I was like, man, I don't think
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: this is going to work for me.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: It's not only a bit of a hike. Where's the AIS?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: It's in Bruce, isn't it?
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry, yes. Yes, Bruce.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: But it's not only a fair hike from there, it's
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a fair hike from any water source.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the touch.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: So H-A-V-E, is it Shady?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Shady Haze. I don't think, do you remember them? They're
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: a massive surf shop, massive. I don't think they exist anymore.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I didn't pay attention to the surf culture.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: But I love that we get to repeat this again.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Marilyn Bell said she also dyed her hair with Ajax.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, did she? Ajax was her choice as well.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: She had some.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: How funny we didn't try bleep.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: She was talking about what she and her friends used
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to do with Tanny and they would get some alfoil
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: involved so it was highly recommended.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I swear to God, yeah, Marilyn put that up and
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: I thought I was reading a recipe. LAUGHTER I was like,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: oh my God, no, she did that to herself. You
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: absolutely would not do that to yourself now. You know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: I went through a phase when my kids were little
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: of just letting them run around on the beach in
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: the Nicky Noona and a lady came and lectured me
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: one day about sunburn.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's 9am.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: I reckon my kids can run around the Nicky Noona
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: for a little bit longer. There's just something so nice
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: about seeing your naked kid in their little bottom on
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: the beach.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: But you also, don't you need a level of vitamin
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: whatever comes from the sun? D. Yeah, which you can't. Yeah,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: same thing. Please. Why do people think they should interject
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: in that? I don't know. I mean, we moved to
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: rushes when we had to.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: When we got sensible.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Well, that's about all we've got time for. Our live
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: event on the 24th of October, we have sold 30%
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of tickets for that. So there's no bigger venue within
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the venue. Once we're sold out, we're sold out for
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that one. So that's exciting. That is, of course, on
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Constellation Cup Eve here in Sydney.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Eve.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: When I hear Eve, I hear permission to drink.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: A little bit. Put your Christmas tray up. I'll do
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: that when I get home. It's going to be long
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: before now.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, one year to go.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: By the time you hear this, it will be less
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: than a year to go to Netball World Cup tickets. Liz,
• 36:13
