Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates and you just
- 0:02Speaker 1: crack gags. Get ready for it. Added a lot of colour, humour.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Time.
- 0:07Speaker 1: He went to boss level. For barra's beards. Have some
- 0:10Speaker 1: of this. Bang.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Gold's 96 FM.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The wildcard round, stunning success.
- 0:18Speaker 2: 172,000 people at the MCG over two nights.
- 0:22Speaker 1: They were lucky that all the Victorian teams were playing
- 0:24Speaker 1: each other. Yes, that does help. That did help.
- 0:26Speaker 2: And I think they said it was 7.4 million viewers
- 0:29Speaker 2: across Australia on all platforms. Wow.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I've got no idea how they get to that, but
- 0:33Speaker 1: it's a lot, isn't it? It is. It's a quarter
- 0:35Speaker 1: of the country.
- 0:35Speaker 3: It's a lot.
- 0:37Speaker 2: The Bulldogs eliminated Collingwood too. And you've played that audio.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Great dramas at the end. Piers had a kick after
- 0:43Speaker 2: the siren.
- 0:44Speaker 3: I mean, as a game of football, guys, very exciting,
- 0:47Speaker 3: wasn't it?
- 0:47Speaker 1: Oh, wasn't it? Very good. Tim Embry, the poor bugger.
- 0:50Speaker 2: He had a chance to be a Collingwood hero and
- 0:52Speaker 2: now he's a Bulldogs legend.
- 0:53Speaker 1: It was pretty awful.
- 0:54Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if you're not a Collingwood fan,
- 0:56Speaker 4: no one really cares. But it was lovely to see
- 0:59Speaker 4: the whole team get around him.
- 1:01Speaker 1: And go, you poor bugger.
- 1:03Speaker 4: What were they saying to him in the huddle?
- 1:07Speaker 1: Were they reassuring him?
- 1:08Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's all about love and kindness and support nowadays.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that in the stands when the Collingwood
- 1:15Speaker 3: fans all turned on.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Each other and were absolutely slugging. So much support.
- 1:20Speaker 3: It was awful, but the comments were gold. I mean,
- 1:24Speaker 3: so many comments about, oh, it was just such and
- 1:26Speaker 3: such's turn with the teeth so he could eat his
- 1:28Speaker 3: pie and he wouldn't give them to the other guys.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Yes, there was some. You shouldn't laugh, but there was.
- 1:33Speaker 3: How many tooth was lost?
- 1:35Speaker 1: How many tooth was lost? There was some fallout. It
- 1:39Speaker 1: was right. Well, firstly, Scott Pendlebury, he's left the greatest
- 1:42Speaker 1: player of all time. I know. He went, I'm out
- 1:44Speaker 1: of here.
- 1:44Speaker 3: It was all sort of anticlimactic and the whole thing
- 1:47Speaker 3: was very bizarre.
- 1:48Speaker 2: He must have been dying to tell them too because
- 1:50Speaker 2: he came out straight away.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And I'm off to the Gold Coast. I'm out of here. Later.
- 1:55Speaker 2: And still side-bottomed last game. And then that 15-person brawl, yes,
- 1:59Speaker 2: with 15 teeth as well. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Saturday night, though, a bit more civilised. More people, though.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Carlton have got a lot of fans. They might challenge
- 2:11Speaker 2: calling them for fans. Oh, they're coming out now, too.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Oh, 91,000.
- 2:14Speaker 2: The fairytale continued. They knocked Melbourne over. Josh Fraser, since
- 2:18Speaker 2: he's taken over, he's been like 11-1 or something.
- 2:21Speaker 1: He's amazing. I don't know what Vossie was doing. I know.
- 2:24Speaker 2: What were you doing, Vossie? And Jagger Smith, did you
- 2:28Speaker 2: see him? He was their young star. He's like 18,
- 2:31Speaker 2: and he has a crack at this Melbourne guy, and
- 2:33Speaker 2: he goes, who are you?
- 2:34Speaker 1: Who are you?
- 2:35Speaker 2: It's an 18-year-old talking to this Jake Bowie guy who's
- 2:39Speaker 2: a premiership player, and he said, I'm a premiership player, mate.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You're not. Good comeback. Good comeback. I like that. But
- 2:47Speaker 1: it's all about Thursday night now.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Yes, it is. You can just feel the build-up starting.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And you know what the Hawks are just talking about?
- 2:55Speaker 1: Sorry, did you want to say?
- 2:56Speaker 4: Oh, I was just going to say, driving over the
- 2:57Speaker 4: Narrows yesterday, Wharfie Time hanging off the Woodside building.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Yes.
- 3:01Speaker 4: So something's in the air.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Yeah. Got involved. Yeah, so Wharfie Time.
- 3:06Speaker 2: And it's like the Melbourne media has just finally caught
- 3:09Speaker 2: on or discovered it.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And they interviewed five Hawks blokes yesterday.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And there would have been 25 questions about Wharfie Time.
- 3:18Speaker 1: For every one of them. What is it? What's the secret?
- 3:21Speaker 1: It's supposed to be.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Like Fight Club, the first rule of Fight Club.
- 3:24Speaker 1: You don't talk about Wharfie time. Even if they're pulling
- 3:27Speaker 1: your fingernails out.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Until it just happens.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 3:29Speaker 2: So Hawthorne broke the rule about 47 times yesterday. So
- 3:33Speaker 2: here's Will Day and Mitch Lewis talking about Wharfie time.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I think so.
- 3:39Speaker 5: I think if it does get to a point where
- 3:42Speaker 5: Wharfie time comes out, it's a pretty big moment in
- 3:45Speaker 5: the game.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So it can be a bit of a trigger.
- 3:47Speaker 5: But then if you're also the team that can silence
- 3:51Speaker 5: the Wharfie.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Crowd, that'll be pretty special as well.
- 3:54Speaker 5: I mean, it was pretty cool last time. If you're
- 3:58Speaker 5: a spectator, you'd be like, this is bloody cool. And
- 4:00Speaker 5: as a player, we sort of didn't know what it was.
- 4:02Speaker 5: So now that we know what it is, we can
- 4:05Speaker 5: go over there and when it comes, embrace it. we
- 4:08Speaker 5: know it's going to be a really, really hostile environment
- 4:11Speaker 5: and as a collective we can play into that and
- 4:14Speaker 5: really galvanise the group.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Oh, I love what he says about it. I love
- 4:18Speaker 3: how he said it was really cool.
- 4:20Speaker 2: What about the other fellow saying silence the wharf-y crowd?
- 4:24Speaker 3: LAUGHTER Good luck with that.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Good luck. You cannot silence a Wharfie. I'll
- 4:30Speaker 1: give you the tip.
- 4:30Speaker 2: No. Just got to wait until they stop talking. It's
- 4:32Speaker 2: like Voldemort. You're not supposed to talk about it and
- 4:35Speaker 2: it keeps coming out.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 4:37Speaker 2: And the Dockers AFLW team, they rolled out Wharfie time
- 4:40Speaker 2: at Coburn yesterday as well. So it's gone into the women's.
- 4:43Speaker 2: It's become a franchise. Yes.
- 4:45Speaker 1: It's going to the women as well. Look out for
- 4:46Speaker 1: the T-shirts.
- 4:47Speaker 2: And we experienced one of the most powerful moments I've
- 4:50Speaker 2: seen in sport this year, maybe all time. Most emotional,
- 4:54Speaker 2: that's for sure. The image of Jai Arrow, the rugby
- 4:56Speaker 2: league player, coming onto the field for.
- 4:58Speaker 1: South Sydney on Saturday. Did you see that?
- 5:00Speaker 2: So what they've done, the NRL, he had 98 games
- 5:04Speaker 2: and then he contracted, or actually I don't know how
- 5:07Speaker 2: it works, but he got MND and only had it
- 5:09Speaker 2: for a couple of months and he's left arm already
- 5:11Speaker 2: not working and he had to retire. Yeah. And so
- 5:13Speaker 2: they said, look, we want him to get to his
- 5:15Speaker 2: 100-game milestone. So they changed the rules so he could play,
- 5:18Speaker 2: more or less play in the last two games. So
- 5:21Speaker 2: he'd lead the team out and then go back to
- 5:24Speaker 2: the bench. And he led the team out to you'll
- 5:26Speaker 2: never walk alone. And there wasn't a dry eye in
- 5:29Speaker 2: the stadium. It was so powerful. So many amazing shots.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Wayne Bennett is this grumpy coach, right?
- 5:36Speaker 3: Yeah, yes.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Famous for it. Very good, but grumpy. It's a permanent frown.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He was putting on Jai's socks because he can't use
- 5:45Speaker 2: his left arm. So they were sitting on the bench
- 5:47Speaker 2: and he was putting on Jai's socks, right? They went
- 5:50Speaker 2: to air. And then the moment that killed me was
- 5:53Speaker 2: on the ground during the match. Jai's just sitting there
- 5:56Speaker 2: and he's got his little daughter. She's one year old
- 5:57Speaker 2: and they're just playing and he's hugging her and crying
- 6:00Speaker 2: and hugging her. Of course, she doesn't know anything about
- 6:02Speaker 2: What's going on? They're just sitting there playing Dad's Just
- 6:06Speaker 2: Dad and.
- 6:06Speaker 1: It's just crushed.
- 6:09Speaker 4: It's a good thing that they allow him to go
- 6:11Speaker 4: out They start the game and then he gets subbed
- 6:14Speaker 4: off straight away.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Straight away.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Incredible. Good on him. Well done. Gets the game.
- 6:18Speaker 2: The other amazing vision was the two planes over the
- 6:21Speaker 2: stadium in Cape Town.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Did you see that? Were they meant to go that low?
- 6:25Speaker 3: I mean, and they weren't small planes.
- 6:27Speaker 6: No.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Passenger jets.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Yes. One in the colours of the All Blacks, one
- 6:32Speaker 2: in the spring box, flying over the Cape Town stadium.
- 6:35Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I checked it out.
- 6:37Speaker 2: They're going 150 knots, which is like. walking pace for planes,
- 6:42Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. It's really slow. They
- 6:44Speaker 2: normally go 800 k's. That was about 200 k's. It
- 6:48Speaker 2: felt like it was in slow motion.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And they were 15 metres above the stadium roof.
- 6:53Speaker 6: Wow.
- 6:53Speaker 1: 15.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Like that airport that has its own YouTube channel where
- 6:56Speaker 3: the planes come in over the beach and knock people down.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
- 7:00Speaker 1: That's in Bali, isn't it? No, no, no.
- 7:03Speaker 4: It's in like around the Bahamas or somewhere like that.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
- 7:07Speaker 2: St.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Martin, I think it's called.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Didn't people used to have the mushroom– drinks and then go.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Did they?
- 7:15Speaker 2: And then go and lie on the beach and watch
- 7:16Speaker 2: the planes fly over them.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I'm not sure. You'd probably need that.
- 7:19Speaker 3: I don't know what the recipe for a mushroom drink is.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But anyway. Milkshakes. You're telling the story. I should not
- 7:24Speaker 1: have said that.
- 7:26Speaker 2: So anyway. Anyway, it was unbelievable. It would be like
- 7:29Speaker 2: the fella at Optus, you know, with the guitar.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Yeah. In the Dockers game. He'd be looking straight. Yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 1: On eye level with the pilot.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Yes.
- 7:36Speaker 1: He'd be wearing brown trousers.
- 7:37Speaker 3: That's scary.
- 7:38Speaker 1: That's what he'd be doing. Brown corduroys. Yes, absolutely. Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 3: I think there's one more thing to mention.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Oh, there is.
- 7:46Speaker 6: It's me v. Lise this weekend, Saturday at Lathlane. East
- 7:51Speaker 6: Perth versus Perth. East Perth versus the Demons. No second
- 7:54Speaker 6: chances for the Demons this time.
- 7:56Speaker 1: No, we're going to try to slay the dragon. 2.30
- 7:58Speaker 1: on Saturday. Sorry, can I just.
- 8:03Speaker 4: We've had a text through from Joseph in Woodvale asking
- 8:06Speaker 4: to ask you, Barra, why are there two WAFL games
- 8:10Speaker 4: on Saturday when they're up against two AFL games?
- 8:12Speaker 1: It makes no sense. Very good question.
- 8:14Speaker 2: The reason is there's an AFLW game on Sunday at
- 8:18Speaker 2: Laugh Lane.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:19Speaker 2: The Eagles are playing on Sunday, so you can't... We
- 8:22Speaker 2: couldn't use the ground, so.
- 8:24Speaker 1: We're both on Saturday. There we go. Now you know, Joseph.
- 8:26Speaker 1: That's a good question.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Peel versus Claremont down in Mandurah on Saturday as well.
- 8:31Speaker 2: And quickly, just like out the door, I just wanted
- 8:32Speaker 2: to just say Valet, I think that's the word I
- 8:35Speaker 2: always get.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Tony Mundine, heart attack, 75. Anthony's dad, real good bloke.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Champion boxer as well. We wish the family all the best.
- 8:46Speaker 2: He was a really, really nice guy. When Greeny was
- 8:48Speaker 2: fighting Mundine and that, I got to know him as
- 8:50Speaker 2: a really good bloke.
