Kate Eddy Isn’t Done Yet, Grand Final Chaos & Netball’s Missing Pathway · No Dribble

  Speaker 1: It's October. Retailers will try to panic you by telling
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you that it is 84 days until Christmas. But you
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: know what you can do in 84 days? Learn another language.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So if you spend your time wisely rather than shopping,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in 84 days you'll be able to say, I thought
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it was your turn to organise Christmas in an entirely
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: other language. So you're here now, you're using your time wisely,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you're on No Dribble, strap in! Hello and welcome to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: No Dribble, the podcast where we talk about how long
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it is to Christmas and we talk about netball and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: so much more. My name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I'm Liz Ellis and I won't be putting up my
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Christmas tree until three days prior to Christmas.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, what?
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, God, I chose a language that you know.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly not that well. I've forgotten the word for day.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: But anyway. Good to be here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Nice to have you here. So, Liz, sorry, three days
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: before Christmas. Now, I know we've talked about this in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the past. Catherine goes early in November. I'm a bit
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of a stickler for the 1st of December but will
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: go a day or two either side of that in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: order to accommodate my stepdaughter's schedules for when we put
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the tree up. But you are what?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I was answering a text message.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: When do you put your Christmas?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Three days before Christmas.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Three days before Christmas.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Three days before Christmas.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So sorry, I was answering a text message from someone
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: who's coming to the stadium to meet me to drop
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: off something that my son left at their place. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: this is the stuff that all women have to do,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: multitasking before Christmas. So you say that everyone's going to,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you can learn a new language and leave it to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: somebody else to organise Christmas. Let me tell you, if
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't organise Christmas, there would be no Christmas. So
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I think you asked me about my tree. My tree
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: goes up sometime between three days before, but five days before,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: but that's because we have a real tree. And if
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you put it up too early, it's a bit droopy
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and sad by Christmas day. So I like to have
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the tree that lasts through Christmas into New Year's day.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And then we sort of pull.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It down at some point after that and hope that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we don't get too many creepy crawlies from outside coming
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: inside with the tree.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Was that the question you asked me?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Gordie, tell us about your tree and when you put
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, that's not bad. You've managed to ask
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: your way through the exam again.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That's how I got a university degree, 51%, 1% of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: wasted effort.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I digress. Gordie.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we host, Rose and I host an ugly
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: T-shirt Christmas party annually at our place.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And it falls always around early December.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: So we have to make sure that we've got the
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: place decorated prior to that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So ideally early December it goes up.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: But the other thing is, and this is the debate,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: if we go away for Christmas, I always have the
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: dilemma of should you put.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The tree up if you're not going to be here?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then like you're in a house that doesn't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: get a tree, which is a bit sad.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But you don't take your tree with you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Like I.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: my tree will be up at home and if I'm
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: having Christmas somewhere else, I'll make sure there is a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: tree of some description there. But I love putting up
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: our tree. I love having it up. I've got, this
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is very exciting. I bought a new tree this year.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: We had the other one for like 15 years and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it was sort of held together by gaffer tape. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: then last year on Christmas day, I thought I'm going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to buy a new tree and I decided I would
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: wait until Christmas day to buy it. So to get
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a discount. So I had done all of this research,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: what I wanted, what's the maximum size that will fit
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in the space that we put it and the like.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And I jumped online and I ordered the one that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted at 10 o'clock on Christmas morning. Ten days later,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: still hadn't heard from them. I had the order confirmation,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: still hadn't arrived. And then I contacted them and they went, oh, sorry,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that's out of stock. we'll give you a refund. It's like, no, no.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And then there was another one that was exactly the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: same model, but was pre-lit. And I said, well, I'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: take that one. And they went, that's more expensive. You'll
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have to pay more. And like, clearly what had happened
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is they got my order and buggered up. They had
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the stock when I ordered it and then sold it
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to other people. And so I said, well, given you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: can't fulfill the order, I would have thought you would
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have given me that at the same price, but how
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about I meet you halfway on the price difference? And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: they said, No. And I said, right, so I've shopped
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: with you for 30 years on and off and for
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the sake of 30 bucks, you're going to go, nah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: walk away. So I, yep, walk away. So I'm never
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: going to somewhere of Kensington again. But I did get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a new tree and I'm very excited to put it
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: up this year, but I will wait for December.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: 84 days. 84 days. I can't even think. There's so
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: much to do in the next 84 days that I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: can't even think about that. Can we talk about netball
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: or something else?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Well, something I would like to talk about that is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: definitely netball related. So we talked about Kylie Minogan, how
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: sensational she was. This coming weekend is the NRL grand
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: final where there will be no entertainment because Tones and I,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: for a million bucks, didn't want to play the one
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: song that we all know. And I will say, Kylie
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Minogue played Locomotion, right? She didn't poo-poo that and say,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I've just got to play or pay all my new stuff.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But the NRL has said, we're going to have no
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: one and give a I kind of like that. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think that there are a lot of people who
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go and don't pay any attention to the entertainment. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think certainly at the netball grand final, there seems
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to be doing any entertainment is just an opportunity for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: people to criticize. But I would like to open this
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to discussion as to whether the NRL has done the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: right thing here. Is it better to go, look, we'll
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have nothing rather than a rush job at the last
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: second and something half-assed?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: For me personally, I love the entertainment.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I actually think it takes the grand final just to
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: another level. Personally for me, because of the time difference
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: in WA, particularly for an AFL grand final, which happens
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: at 2.30pm, So here it happens at 12.30 and everything
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: starts from 11am. I am glued in front of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: TV at 11am. And if anyone's making noise in the house,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I can't stand it. So I love the pre-game.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: That sounds fun.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: This is why Susan doesn't have children. Unless we're getting
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: drinks or something, right? Like that's fine. But I really.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Enjoy the whole pre-game process. I like to watch the
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: NRL to see what they're doing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I really do enjoy it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: But when you ask the question, is it the right
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: thing to do as opposed to doing a half-baked idea,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: like why have they left themselves in.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: a position that's half-baked.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Kylie was locked in in March. It was locked. Kylie
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was announced in March.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That's what I drank in. Why is this happening in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the middle of September for the beginning of October, NRL?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Like that's, I don't understand.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, isn't it?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But I think the other, like the irony is that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Tones and I didn't want to sing a song about
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: performers being forced to sing a song.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: No.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: No. No. The irony is too delicious. You couldn't make
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: this up. But yeah, I would have thought like more
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: than 10 days out from your event, you'd have your
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: grand final entertainment locked in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: And Peter Volantis is right, right? So when you go
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: to the grand final, you do go, you're going for
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the game. And, you know, it's highly likely that this
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: week's grand final between East and Newcastle or sorry, the
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Roosters and Newcastle will be a fantastic game. But I
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: think like sports codes now, you want, your grand final
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: to be like it's entertainment. I think anyone who thinks
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: sport is about pure sport is probably a good 40
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: or 50 years behind because sport is entertainment. And You know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: for the last four or five years with Super Netball,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Suncorp has sponsored the halftime entertainment. So like even like, yes,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: we're not getting Kylie or Tones and I, but we
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: get the people who we can afford because you want
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: to give people when they turn up a good show,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: but also people watching at home, you want them to
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: see something a bit different as well, right? So it
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: does beg a belief because the NRL is like a
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: sporting behemoth, obviously, between them and the AFL. It's quite staggering.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Here's a question for you both.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: So at the AFL, the pre-game entertainment is at the start.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Before the game, right? What's NRL, before the game normally?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, halftime. Halftime, yeah. Super Netball, halftime. Halftime. What
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: do you like or prefer or think?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm really interested in, so this is sort of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: related to what you've just asked, sorry, but the players
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: at the AFL Grand Final, they will go onto the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: field and warm up and then it's a solid hour
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or so before they're back on playing the game, which
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I think must be a real challenge from a sort
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of strength and conditioning perspective. coaching type thing, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: keeping the trainers, keeping them warmed up and ready to go.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I thought it was a spectacular
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: balance at the AFL between obviously look at this incredible
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: entertainment and now we're going to watch the footy. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to me it felt like a really, like a big
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: G up. There was nothing that interrupted the flow of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the game and then, you know, there was analysis at
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: half time and that, you know, I always think that's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: very interesting. So I prefer the pre-game stuff because I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: think then it's like, well, the people who are there
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: for the sport, you can just show up and miss
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the pregame if you're that fussed about it, but it
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just builds up to that moment and then the sport
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is showcased.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it helps to build the atmosphere, right?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: If you've got a great singer who everyone's singing along
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and everyone feels good. So I actually haven't thought about
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it before, Gordie, but I think I do prefer, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: think I prefer pre-match.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And then I'd like to have relays at halftime because
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I love relays. Well, yeah. Between like fast people in
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the game. That's my thought. So yeah, I reckon it's interesting, Caroline.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's harder for athletes to warm up at
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: halftime when your body's been at full capacity and then
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: you can extend it. So in Super Netball, you get
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: an extended halftime period only in the grand finals.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: To, you know, for the, for.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: The halftime entertainment and that's all fine and teams manage,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: but it is harder to get the body going after
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: you've been flat chat, then you, you know, you warm
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: up and then you can read.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Sort of warm up.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: You haven't been excelling at high intensity at the start,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: you know, before the game starts. So for me, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: would love the pre-game entertainment at the start to get
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: the crowd.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Up and about.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: And then I reckon you get locked into your sport,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: the AFL or the netball or whatever it is. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: then halftime, I love how the AFL do the race
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: with the players for the, you know, like they have
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: the sprints There's so many things netball could do just
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: to keep the court entertained, but bring in the players
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that, but not have to overly extend
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: the halftime break unnecessarily.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Because I think that it's the Soccer World Cup in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the US recently, there was some controversy there because for
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the first time they had to extend the length of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the halftime break in order to accommodate the entertainment. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the soccer purists, who won't like me calling it soccer,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we've been through that in the past, but They didn't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: like that because it's usually a much shorter half time. And, yeah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't– I can– I'm sympathetic to that,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that it's like we're here for the sport. And I think–
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I suspect what we will see now is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the AFL Grand Final, the pre-game entertainment. I think Kylie
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: said a new benchmark and I imagine next year they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: will look to meet that or exceed it the way
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they do at the Super Bowl.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: That's impossible. Sorry?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Impossible.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: They've reached their pinnacle and sure, certainly not coming, sure
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: it's not coming to the AFL Grand Final.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's interesting. I don't know where you go
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: from Kylie Minogue, but yeah, I think they've now gone,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: this is what you, what the standard you can expect.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And it would be helpful, I imagine, for the NRL
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: if it had been the week before Kylie. What are
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we going to do?
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: The other thing I would, I'd, kind of support is
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I love Australian artists. Like I really hope that we can, like,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: don't get me wrong. Like overseas artists are great. They
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: cost a lot of money, but Aussie artists, like there's
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: some great old bands, bring back some of the old bands.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: They did it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: They did it during COVID from memory when, how we
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: were looking this up the other day. So when Perth
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: hosted at Optus Stadium, the AFL grand final, they brought
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: in all of like Australian artists.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure Tones and I would set that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: one to be blatantly honest with you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: And they bought like, I don't know, a lot of
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Aussie local and whatever artists because people couldn't travel because
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: of COVID.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And I loved it. I thought it was great.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: So I also liked the fact that we, you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: we can support Aussie artists for our Aussie events as well.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: That's the other thing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And I think the interesting thing about the Rugby League saying, oh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: we're just going to give that money to junior footy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Like Rugby League, Why can't we have both? Why can't
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: we have a great artist and why can't.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: We give more of your $ 60 million profit to Junior 40?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Like you could do it all.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I think it was just something to, oh, no
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: half-time entertainment. Look over here, a sparkly thing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And it is sort of like we're going to give
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a million dollars to ourselves instead of giving you entertainment,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: isn't it? But there's certainly a lot of ABC listeners, Susan,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: who agree with you that it's like, well, hang on,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is this like surely there's somewhere between Tones and I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: falling over and giving all the money to Junior Rugby League.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Surely in the middle there's some Australian artists who we
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: could showcase and give an opportunity to.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway, very entertaining and I am very interested, Elizabeth, that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for the first time I've understood, I've never bothered to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: listen to the words of Dance Monkey. To me it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is like Baby Shark. So I didn't realise there was
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: another layer to the meaning, the messaging in Dance Monkey
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and the deep irony of that. But we're going to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: take a break and come back and talk a little
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: bit about some nipple.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody do the.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Things you do before. They say move for me, move
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: for me, move for me.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Susan Gordian, while we have you here, we
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: cannot pass up the opportunity to talk about what is
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: happening in Super Netball Club land right now, what the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: pre-season looks like. But I want to talk about something
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: first that made my jaw drop on the weekend and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure made a lot of Victorians gasp with excitement
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and many with fear and is that next year, Kate
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Eddy and Lucy Austin will be playing in the VNL
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: for Casey Demons.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Wowza.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Good on you, Renee Ingalls.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So they, Casey Demons, you'll remember we gave an update
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. Thank you very much to Georgia
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Radjic for giving me the information that I could give
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you the update. But Casey Demons lost the grand final
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: in the VNL this this year by 11 goals to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the Hawks. So I reckon they've very much got their
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: eye on that prize next year.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be interesting too because I've, well, I don't know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: but I'll be interested to see what Victoria do regarding
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: their reserves team in the Super Netball reserves and whether
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Kate Eddy and Lucy Austin drop into that to play.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Which could then impede some of their Casey Demons time.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: That's the interesting one to watch as well.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know anything about the eligibility of those reserves teams?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Super Netball Reserves is just, it's like no internationals,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: About the only rule but yeah what you do what
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: you choose to do with it is up to your
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: club because because of what you're trying you know like
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: the whole concept is making sure that there's avenues for
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: super netball players if they're not getting court time to
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: drop back in relative to how the fixture works and
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: timing plus also for your pathways coming through so it
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: meets both purposes and so you would imagine like Kate
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Eddy and Lucy Austin are no time soon retiring and
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: they've made it very clear that they want super netball
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: contracts and so they need to be doing everything possible
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: and getting the highest level of play that they can,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: which is Super Netball reserves outside playing Super Netball. So,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, Casey Demons is important because they need court
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: time and it's unreal. And hello, they're going back and
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Renee Ingalls is coaching for the first time, former Aussie Diamond.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: So that's all terrific. But I would imagine they'd also
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: probably step in and play reserves.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: So does every... super netball team have a super netball
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: reserves team or is it by state?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: No, every team.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: All right. So, so clearly there with the Mavs, so
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: there will be a super netball reserves team for them
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and the Sirens will have a super.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So, so this, this may be more announcement than court time.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Like No, no, I think they would play. Like, I
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: actually think they would play. I can't think when Victoria
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: play there stately what night it's on. So that's all
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: relative as well.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: And then to understand also how much time as training
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: partners they'll spend inside the Mavs environment, because every club,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: that's a bit different depending.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: So load management comes into play, et cetera, et cetera.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: But I would imagine... Yeah, they'll get some time. Casey
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Demons will have them qualify.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about that. They'll qualify for finals, so that'll
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: probably all work out well.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: But then, yeah, where is it that they then show
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: up at Super Netball Reserves? And categorically for me, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: want them playing Super Netball Reserves. Our reserves competition, this
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: is the knock-on effect of how tough it is to
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: get a contract at Super Netball now, in particular off
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: the back of the New Zealand rule adjusting contract. significantly
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: and you know again I just want to say to
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: every athlete out there please don't take your contract for
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: granted you don't know how long you're going to get
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: it for it could go in the blink of an
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: eye and that's what contracts at Super Netball should be
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: about bloody hard to get bloody hard to hold on
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to and you've got to be at your best always
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: to maintain but then what you want is your Super
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Netball reserves competition stepping up in standard quality opportunity etc
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: so I hope they play Super Netball reserves.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And there can't be any internationals in Super Netball reserves.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Is that what you just said? Yeah. I mean, I'm
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: so long out of the GM job. My brain's like
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: not in GM.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: We're giving you these questions without notice.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I don't think you're internationals. I've got a feeling if
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: you're a Diamonds.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true or not. But anyhow,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: there's no issue with Kate Eddy playing. Lucy Austin, I
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: can't see an issue either.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, I mean, I guess that is another positive
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: knock-on effect of the internationals who are coming into Super
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Netball is that the Super Netball reserves competition will inevitably
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: become higher quality, won't it?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: So it should and it needs to.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, people have been screaming this forever and a day.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Julie Fitzgerald will be one of the biggest ones on
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: the bandwagon of this. I have been for a long time.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: And I know Netball Australia, and Liz, I say this
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: even with you on the call, Netball Australia, I understand
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: its importance.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: The problem is it's a financial cost.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Like it's not a cheap exercise to run a second
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: tier competition at the standard or sorry, at the extent
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: that we would like to run it. When you've got
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: to fly all over Australia to do this, like, you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Super Netball itself is an expensive exercise to run, let
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: alone then a Super Netball Reserve. So it is in
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: a bit of a modified format at the moment, but
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: irrespective of format, you want the best in there. You
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: want it as high quality as possible and you want
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: it there so it's pushing what's happening at Super Netball.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's very exciting. As always, because I just get
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: distracted with Sue here and we like to ask all
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: these questions without notice, time is marching on. But, Sue,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: could you just tell us now, so there's a number of,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: so for instance, you have Amelia Ann Eccanasio who I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: think made herself unavailable for Silver Fern's selection a year
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: or two back but is now coming over to Fever.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So what's happening in the Super Netball clubs at the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: moment is Outside of those players who are required for
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: international duties. Where are you guys at? What are you doing?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Well, so they're all on annual leave. Everyone's on annual leave.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: And contracts commence, new contracts commence on.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: The 1st of October.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: In theory, you're still managing athletes on old contracts or
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: current contracts. But most are on annual leave anyhow. So most,
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: as you see, just look on their social media. Like everyone,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: we all should feel jealous.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: They're gallivanting around the world, having an absolute ripper time,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: sending back the best European photos that they possibly can.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: So good on them. And then on the 1st of October,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the new contracts start.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: And again, most, because of the rules that sit with
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: annual leave, most clubs have to put their players on
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: annual leave in the October period as well to make
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: sure we fulfil the the number of annual leave weeks
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: required in a given year because a lot of players
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: have international commitments and so on.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: It's a real juggling act.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It's very individualised for every club, as in every player.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: But then a lot of clubs usually hit the tracks
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: around about the 1st of November. And so I know
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: that's what we're doing at Fever. So 1st of November
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: hits and our pre-season starts and someone like Amelia Rand,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: she heads over ready to start on the 1st of
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: November and she's leaving her kids and husband back in
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: New Zealand for the first seven weeks six seven weeks
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: until Christmas so it's a bit of a nervous time
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: for her um and that's tough yeah tough but she's
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: also excited about the fact that she can get to
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: come over and just focus on herself the professional athlete
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: and try and get the best possible pre-season and she's
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: she's such a professional Amelia Ann so you know that
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: She's going to focus and do what's required of her
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: in that pre-season. Then she goes back and then brings
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: her family over in January. Some of the other players,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: of course, the Jamaicans and the English, they're playing in
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: a series over two games in England, two games in Jamaica.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: So a lot of those players are tied up in
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: their respective programs at the moment. The England players coming
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: off annual leave, they've just gone into camp. The Jamaicans,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: I think, have got sort of little small camps happening
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: But most plays sort of come back in or, yeah,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: around about the November and you get a good eight
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: weeks in before Christmas and then they bugger off for
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks over Christmas and then usually come
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: back raring to go in January. So it's a long
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: pre-season and as you're kind of counting the weeks down
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: as you get towards the start of the season, when
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: you reflect back the number of days you've been in pre-season,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: it's huge.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's pretty much. So from annual leave and
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: then sort of over the.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: November, December period, very individualised between international programs, the diamonds
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: the same and then some starting back.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: So some clubs only have two or three players.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: It's a really, yeah. Which, you know, can be a
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: really good thing for some of those players.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Probably is, as we were talking earlier in the week,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: those players that sit sort of down the ranks a
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: little bit that you're trying to get the next layer
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: out of them. That part of pre-season is so important
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: for them.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a great way to start a new job,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Okay, this is your first day. What we
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: need is for you to go and have a holiday
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for a month. My mate did a marathon, run a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: marathon training program. Day one, rest day.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, all right, I could do this.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I give up after day one. That's enough. Yeah, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: started a marathon training program.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I've mastered this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excellent at it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Easy.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that was outstanding, Susan. Thank you very much. Very
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: much always appreciate your insights. We're going to take a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: little break now. I'm going to come back. I haven't
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: asked the goat, but I'm actually going to ask the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: goat and the gourd. Okay.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So I have a lovely message from a young man
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: who has asked us for some advice about his netball career.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So his name is Samuel. It's hi, Kath, Carolyn and Liz.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was nice that he included me in
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: that and thought that I might have something useful to say. Samuel,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I will tell you up front, I know nothing about this,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: so I will be learning about it as you do.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Together we will get smarter. I'm a 13-year-old netballer from
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Ballarat and was wondering if I could get some of
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: your insight on boys' netball pathways. As you would know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: once boys turn 13, Netball Victoria's gender rules mean we
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: can no longer play in junior comps. While there are
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: competitions like the VMMNA, there are no real opportunities to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: play in country leagues due to the restrictions, so I'm
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: not sure how you can really progress your skills to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: get up to that level. I've recently joined an adult
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: mixed netball team, which has been beneficial, although it is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a very harsh jump from under 13s. With boys netball
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: starting to get a bit more interest, what do you
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: think might need to be implemented so that boys could
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: get a little more opportunity? Also, do I try out
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: for the SSV under 15s team next year? I'm participating
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: in an Inspire Netball Emerging Talent Academy, so would that
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: help with selection? I'd love it if you could just
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: quickly suggest some ideas. He said, doesn't even have to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: be on the podcast, but Samuel, I thought that actually
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: your question would be of interest to a bunch of people,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: but I think it would benefit other young boys struggling
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to find opportunity to progress. Thank you so much. That's
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: from Samuel in Ballarat.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice work, Samuel.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good work.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I'll kick off and just give a general overview and
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: then Gordie, you might be able to speak more to
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: the pathway sort of stuff. So I think there is
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: no doubt that that netball needs to build pathways for
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: young boys and men into the elite.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: And at the moment, the elite.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Of men's netball is governed by the Australian Mixed and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Men's Netball Association. I think I've got that right. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: we are talking to them about how do we bring
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: everything together and get the best outcome for everyone. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: there is no doubt that we need to build a
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: comprehensive men and boys strategy so that we become a
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: place where men and boys come and play.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Now, that is happening a lot.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I even know from experience at my association that we've
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: got a really strong men and boys program and our
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: association team have won state.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Champs over the past couple of years.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: And actually some of the men and boys play in
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: our Div 1 competition. So it's a bit different from
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: other associations, but in a country association, you sort of
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: have to make the opportunities where they exist. So I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: think there's a bit of work to do to ensure
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that we don't just bolt one thing into another thing
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: or that it's sort of a bit sort of smashed
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: together and hope for the best. I think from a
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: governance point of view, there is a bit of work
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to do to make sure that you get the best
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: outcome for netball in Australia and for the young men
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and boys who want to come through. So that will
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: take time and it will take a bit of money.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And as we all know, our sport doesn't have the
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: money that the sports with the bigger broadcast deals can
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: throw at you know, developing a strategy to ensure gender equity,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: but it's certainly something that is sort of top of mind.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Having said that though, there is some really good work
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: being done at state level for these pathways. And I think,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I think if I'm right, Samuel plays in Victoria and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I don't quite know what the pathways are there, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I know in New South Wales, for example, there is,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: you know, men's teams underage and then opens a play
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: at state champs. And I love being at State Champs
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and being able to watch the Div 1. This year
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: it was like I was watching the under-15s and 17s
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and Opens Div 1 and all the Divs. And then
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: it was great to watch the 17s boys and the
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: men as well. So it was fantastic. So it just
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: creates a great atmosphere. So, Gordie, I don't know if
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: you've got a bit more insight into the pathways.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, Lizzie, the way that you've explained it
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: is probably quite similar. in most states where you say,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: you know, like at Ballina, you've got sort of.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Something quite specific.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: I think that happens in a lot of states where,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: because there is this gap between once I turned 13
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: as a male player until kind of open, it's a
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: bit like hit and miss. And I think One thing
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: I'd say to Samuel is I think Victoria do quite
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: a good job with their pathway men's program, but there
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: will still be significant gaps. But it would be important
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: probably to connect with Netball Victoria to see if there
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: are any associations that have something a little bit more
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: targeted for anyone that's 14, 15, 16 and 17. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: know in WA we do have some smaller programs where
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: boys are can go. That's not huge, but it is
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: another step. Um, the question I think Samuel asked about
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: is in the Aspire Academy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Does that help? Yes.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: I think that's a great little step for you. I
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: know the guys that run Aspire and very reputable and
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: doing a great job and, and former men's players, one
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: of them.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: So I think hang in there.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: And, and I think the other thing is, is that
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: go and have a chat with some of the boys
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: that play in the open men's, you know, they've all
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: been through.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: The exact, exact same experience.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Um, what Samuel's experience would be no different to most
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: other guys that have come through, you know, the men's
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: pathway and had to find answers where there aren't.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Solutions, I guess, at the moment.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: And so You know, reach out and see what you
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: can with some of the other boys. But whatever you
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: can do in terms of being in academies, trialling for teams,
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: wherever you can, you go and do it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. But, you know, you are– we're going to keep
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: working on it. Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: And also, Samuel, that like– I know it's hard stepping
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: up from under 13s into– like a mixed team but
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: you are learning so much and I always say to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: young athletes if you can play against older people they're
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: not going to be as fast as you but they're
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: going to know so much more about the game and
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: how to position their body so even if you're getting
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: your butt kicked you're still learning and improving and getting
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: better so that's certainly and good on you for stepping
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: up and having a crack in the older division.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: And that he loves netball. Yay.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And I mean, certainly it's obviously, you know, I would
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: have thought going to become a more popular sport with
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: parents as we understand more and more about the impact,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the traumatic brain impacts that happen from the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: more head contact, head clash sports and the like. And,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess Samuel has it tougher to being
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: in a regional area that there may not be as
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: much as is happening down the road in Melbourne. But
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: some great advice there. And Samuel, thanks so much for
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: sending it in. And you're dead right. These are the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: sorts of questions that do benefit other people. So it's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: great when someone will ask a question like that. And,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you know, great that we had Gordie here for it today.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: So thank you very much. I think that's all we've
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: got time for today. I want to just have a
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: couple of little messages. Remember, Gordie is doing the Macca
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Cancer 200 in a couple of weeks' time. And if
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you are able to kick in to support cancer research,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: particularly dribblers from the West, but obviously dribblers everywhere, we
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: know Gordie does us all a wonderful favour, very regularly
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: dropping in and sharing her wisdom. So if you can
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: kick in a bit to get behind her fundraising for
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the Lycra What I See, is that the team?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Lycra What I See.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: So the link is in the show notes, today's show notes,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and she will also put something up in our Facebook
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: group and has promised to keep us updated along the way.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure they're going to like her what they
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: see when they see the updates.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, do get behind that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I'm a bit worried about putting that outfit on for
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: the first time, you know.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I would be worried about seeing the photos, dude.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: There's a place for everything on the internet, Susan.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Someone will love it. This is true.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so please get behind that. And at the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: time of recording, there are fewer than 20 tickets left
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: for our event on Constellation Cup Eve here in Sydney
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: on the 24th of October. So go to nodribble.com.au to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: get your tickets for that. Liz, did you just indicate
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that you had a.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I got nothing.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here in the equipment room and I'm listening
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: to the grand final being played outside.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I've got no idea who won.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I've got no idea what's going on and I'm worried
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get locked inside this stadium because they're
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: all packing up and leaving.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Everyone's packing up and sending her home. You'll be like
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that Tom Hanks movie where he's in the terminal for
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: months on end.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, if I walk out, you know what I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: most worried about, that I'll walk out and the alarm
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: will go off and I.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Won't be able to find my way out.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to watch the recording next week when
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: you're still sitting.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: There in your green T-shirt.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully your family will come looking for you.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, they won't.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: That's the sad thing. They'll be like, yes, peace and quiet.

  Speaker 1: for joining us on No Dribble. As always, it has
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: been sensational to be in your ears this week. My
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'm Liz Ellis coming to you from the equipment room.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And Sue Gordian coming to you from the other side
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: of the country. Yeah. Cheers.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Well, have a great week, guys.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Bye.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bye.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, so guys, what I didn't say to you on air,
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: I had to go to the chemist and I think
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: they've told me you've got to buy this cream for
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: the ride.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I can't remember what it's called.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Anyhow, I was talking to one of the guys that
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: I was riding with and he was saying, like, you
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: have to rub it everywhere. Like, and I mean this nicely,
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: but they've got to lift up and rub in around
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: all the tracks. So I've got to get this cream
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: and give it a good rub.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Is it a chafe cream or is it a numbing?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's a chafe cream. But I think it
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: has a numbing, like.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh, my God.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I reckon read the instructions very carefully.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: And don't buy Denco rum by accident. Hey, I won't
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: be doing a live video. I'm putting in the chat.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I was going to say, maybe we don't
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: need that one in the Facebook group.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Only fans. Gordie on Only Fans.
