- 0:09Speaker 2: Four after five, good morning and welcome to you, you
- 0:11Speaker 2: high-fivers out there on this Friday morning. Going for a
- 0:15Speaker 2: top of 21 degrees with some showers about Adelaide today.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Two to seven mils, 95% chance Saturday for the first
- 0:22Speaker 2: day of the Royal Adelaide Show and the... footy match
- 0:26Speaker 2: at the Adelaide Oval tomorrow night. 17 degrees, showers and windy. 95%
- 0:31Speaker 2: chance of another 2-7 mils. Sunday carried along to the
- 0:34Speaker 2: Sandville Finals.
- 0:36Speaker 3: 17 degrees.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Monday 19. Currently in the city, it's another 12.9 degrees
- 0:41Speaker 2: this morning. Neddy, good morning.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Good morning, Sammy. Hello, high-fivers. Happy Friday, end of the week.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Love's a Friday.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Let's have some fun! With a bit of opera this morning.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Do you think, what would be your genre if you
- 0:56Speaker 3: were to sing?
- 0:57Speaker 4: What would you do?
- 0:58Speaker 2: It's probably pop. It's probably like a bit of a
- 1:00Speaker 2: bit of pop. Indie rock.
- 1:03Speaker 5: Nice.
- 1:03Speaker 2: That'd be me.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Yeah, ask me what I could do. Yeah, all of it.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Of course you could.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Now, I read the advertiser this morning. Matt Turner's article
- 1:11Speaker 3: was a beauty. He said that the croaky pokey is
- 1:15Speaker 3: the club's finals weapon. He thinks that's going to be
- 1:19Speaker 3: the thing that takes him across the line. It just
- 1:21Speaker 3: got me thinking, I just wonder if John Longmire in
- 1:24Speaker 3: the Fremantle box last night.
- 1:26Speaker 6: Longmuir.
- 1:28Speaker 7: Longmire? Longmuir.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Yeah, Longmuir, you're right.
- 1:30Speaker 8: Longmuir.
- 1:31Speaker 3: I just wonder if he saw... Hawthorne's manic pressure, they're
- 1:36Speaker 3: tackling Watson ahead of the ball and just thought, oh,
- 1:39Speaker 3: we forgot to do the hokey pokey in the lead
- 1:41Speaker 3: up to the finals.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I really meant to ask you this yesterday and I
- 1:44Speaker 2: totally forgot. Did you ever do any hand-in-hand circle work
- 1:47Speaker 2: when you were at the Crows?
- 1:48Speaker 3: No, we did those culture building activities. I never did
- 1:52Speaker 3: that particular one.
- 1:53Speaker 2: But shouldn't the culture already be built if you're playing
- 1:55Speaker 2: finals after a year of footy? I don't understand what
- 1:58Speaker 2: was going on. Obviously, the vision of it from earlier
- 2:01Speaker 2: in the week was to make fun of the Crows
- 2:03Speaker 2: and probably how it was filmed. What was actually happening?
- 2:06Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't to make fun of the Crows, was it?
- 2:08Speaker 3: I don't know. They were doing it to build camaraderie.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I saw a lot of comments saying power stance 2.0.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Well, they knew the cameras were there.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I mean, seriously.
- 2:16Speaker 3: But Matt Turner in the advertiser, he said, croaky pokey
- 2:19Speaker 3: is club's finals weapon. And I think he's right. No, seriously,
- 2:25Speaker 3: I think when the pressure's on in the third quarter,
- 2:27Speaker 3: they're going to say, yep, we did the croaky pokey.
- 2:30Speaker 3: We're going to be right. Peter from Mileson. Good morning.
- 2:36Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 2:36Speaker 9: What a shock to the system, eh?
- 2:39Speaker 3: Ooh, just a bit of a shock. A cold shower, Peter.
- 2:42Speaker 7: The result in Perth, totally unexpected. A three-man were going
- 2:48Speaker 7: to do an Adelaide from last year. Bomb out and
- 2:51Speaker 7: straight set. That's not why I rang. I rang because
- 2:55Speaker 7: it's a grand old flag on Sunday afternoon at the
- 2:58Speaker 7: Adelaide Oval. Red and blue and old double blues. And
- 3:02Speaker 7: if Sturt win, am I allowed to sing the old
- 3:05Speaker 7: double blue on Monday morning?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Peter, no, no, no. Peter, I will let you come
- 3:10Speaker 2: on the air and sing the Sturt song if you
- 3:12Speaker 2: win the grand final.
- 3:13Speaker 3: No.
- 3:14Speaker 2: If you win the grand final.
- 3:16Speaker 7: That could be three more games if we lose.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Peter, you can do whatever you like. We take your call,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and then you can just start speaking.
- 3:23Speaker 7: I used to sing on his show.
- 3:25Speaker 4: That's why I left Double A.
- 3:27Speaker 7: Oh, no.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Give us a little bit. Just give us a little
- 3:29Speaker 3: taste of the Double Blues.
- 3:30Speaker 7: I haven't had much to drink yet, but anyway.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Yet?
- 3:33Speaker 4: One, two, three.
- 3:35Speaker 10: Mate, it's 5 a.m.
- 3:38Speaker 7: It's a grand old flag. It's a high-flying flag. It's
- 3:43Speaker 7: the emblem for me and for you. It's the emblem
- 3:48Speaker 7: of the team I love. The team of the old
- 3:52Speaker 7: double blue. Every heart beats true for the old double blue.
- 3:58Speaker 7: As we sing this song to you.
- 4:01Speaker 3: What do we sing?
- 4:02Speaker 7: Good old acquaintance be. Forgot, keep your eye on the
- 4:08Speaker 7: old double blue. You know what's going to happen now?
- 4:11Speaker 2: You're going to lose, Peter.
- 4:14Speaker 7: No, that's going to say what they did to Father
- 4:16Speaker 7: Joe and I six years ago. Don't give up your
- 4:19Speaker 7: daytime job.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Thank you, Peter. Appreciate your call.
- 4:22Speaker 6: Well done, Peter.
- 4:22Speaker 3: That's good fun. The double blues.
- 4:24Speaker 2: If you want to start karaoke on a Friday, give
- 4:26Speaker 2: us a call, 822-300-00. Might as well. We've gone off
- 4:29Speaker 2: the rails. It's only eight minutes after five.
- 4:31Speaker 3: I like how he asked permission to do it. It's like,
- 4:33Speaker 3: if you call up, you do whatever you want on
- 4:35Speaker 3: this program.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Within reason.
- 4:37Speaker 3: No, who are we to tell someone what they can
- 4:39Speaker 3: and can't do?
- 4:40Speaker 2: I've got some news for you, Nettie, by the way,
- 4:42Speaker 2: before we keep moving on.
- 4:43Speaker 3: What is that news, Sam?
- 4:44Speaker 2: We have a new addition to the High Fiver clan.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Stop it.
- 4:47Speaker 10: We do.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Who is it? Stephen Rowe. Rowe?
- 4:51Speaker 7: Yep.
- 4:52Speaker 11: What do you mean?
- 4:53Speaker 2: He was listening on Wednesday morning. If you want to
- 4:55Speaker 2: cast your mind back to Wednesday morning, at the end
- 4:58Speaker 2: of the show... Yeah?
- 5:01Speaker 3: I can't remember.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Early breakfast, we can get a bit sidetracked.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember what we were doing on Wednesday.
- 5:05Speaker 2: This is how we ended on Wednesday. Michael, Sam and
- 5:08Speaker 2: Rex lined up for 72 hours to be the first
- 5:11Speaker 2: in line to receive the final Harry Potter book. Was
- 5:14Speaker 2: able to cut open the box too, Michael.
- 5:16Speaker 8: Wow.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Harry Potter. Any Harry Potter-loving listeners? Perhaps that could be
- 5:22Speaker 3: the main segment of the breakfast show moving forward.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Potter.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Eat slugs, Potter.
- 5:27Speaker 3: I don't know much about Harry Potter.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'm not really that interested in all that kind.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Of whimsical, fanciful things. I'll do a Harry Potter thing.
- 5:34Speaker 3: He says, wouldn't you like to know? How does it go?
- 5:37Speaker 3: No one asks for your opinion, you filthy little mudblood.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Oh, eat slugs.
- 5:43Speaker 3: And then they do the wand trick.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So that was Wednesday.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Yeah, wow.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Stephen Rowe informed me yesterday when I was here.
- 5:50Speaker 8: Yes.
- 5:51Speaker 2: That he was listening on Wednesday.
- 5:52Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 5:53Speaker 2: And he's a high fiver. Now, you come from a
- 5:55Speaker 2: footy background.
- 5:56Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 5:56Speaker 2: You do well with feedback.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:58Speaker 2: You like feedback.
- 6:00Speaker 3: What's he got?
- 6:01Speaker 2: Stephen Rowe had some feedback for you.
- 6:03Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 6:03Speaker 13: Just some honest feedback from my mate, Ned. You're far
- 6:06Speaker 13: too up for 5.30 a.m. I was in my car
- 6:09Speaker 13: on my way to Jarmer's Kitchen yesterday.
- 6:11Speaker 4: And, boy, wow, you were up.
- 6:15Speaker 13: And I just thought, like, getting out of the car
- 6:16Speaker 13: and going for a run. And 60-plus audiences couldn't give
- 6:21Speaker 13: a rat's toss bag about Dumbledore. Who the hell is Dumbledore?
- 6:27Speaker 13: And who eats slugs?
- 6:29Speaker 8: And.
- 6:30Speaker 13: And watch a bit of Jim Carrey and a couple
- 6:32Speaker 13: of the comedians about when you try to take people's
- 6:35Speaker 13: voices off. I mean, you know, if you do it,
- 6:37Speaker 13: it's brilliant. But if you can't do it, just park
- 6:40Speaker 13: that one away, little Ned McHenry. I want a bit
- 6:44Speaker 13: more fishing in there. That's probably solid, isn't it? Just
- 6:46Speaker 13: give us some hot spots. Not that you'd know about
- 6:49Speaker 13: where they are now because you're too busy in there
- 6:51Speaker 13: doing breakfast. Anyway, tone it down. Think 60 plus.
- 6:57Speaker 14: Yeah, and.
- 6:58Speaker 13: Good luck with your career, mate, because it's heading south.
- 7:06Speaker 3: I tell you what, if he wants me to practice
- 7:07Speaker 3: some accents, I'll practice some accents. This is a Stephen Rowe.
- 7:10Speaker 13: Oh, if the.
- 7:11Speaker 15: Crows don't win this week, I swear.
- 7:14Speaker 2: I'm... Careful, you'll do your voice as well. That's Stephen Rowe,
- 7:20Speaker 2: High Fiver. He was in the car having a listen
- 7:22Speaker 2: on Wednesday.
- 7:22Speaker 3: That's very funny. I love you, Stephen Rowe. He won't
- 7:25Speaker 3: be listening this morning. It'll be Friday. It'll be too
- 7:27Speaker 3: early for him. Only the High Fivers are up and
- 7:29Speaker 3: at him, like Rob from Clearview.
- 7:32Speaker 2: The bloke who wrote the song The Hokey Pokey the
- 7:34Speaker 2: other day at his funeral, they put his left foot
- 7:37Speaker 2: in and then they pulled his left foot out and
- 7:40Speaker 2: they put his left foot in.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Whoa.
- 7:44Speaker 3: That's dark, Rob.
- 7:44Speaker 5: On you, Rob.
- 7:45Speaker 3: That is dark. It's a good pun, though, and we
- 7:47Speaker 3: love your text. Phone lines are always open, 8223 0000.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Give us a buzz. We love hearing from you. Steve Irwin,
- 7:57Speaker 3: 20-year anniversary today of his passing. Isn't that sad?
- 8:00Speaker 2: I remember watching John Williamson at his funeral, a memorial
- 8:04Speaker 2: service at True Blue, and he chucked Steve Irwin's name
- 8:07Speaker 2: into the song. You want to know the last time
- 8:09Speaker 2: I cried? That's not the last time I cried, but
- 8:11Speaker 2: I remember crying at that.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Well, I asked you when the last time you cried was,
- 8:14Speaker 3: and you didn't answer it.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Couldn't remember, but I definitely cried watching John Williamson and
- 8:18Speaker 2: the Ute drive out with all his stuff packed up
- 8:20Speaker 2: on the back.
- 8:21Speaker 3: The old 79 series, the single cab. That was brilliant.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Steve Irwin. 8223 0000, who's had an impact that you
- 8:28Speaker 3: never met? So someone that had an impact on your
- 8:31Speaker 3: life that you never met. You know, for me, someone
- 8:34Speaker 3: like Steve Irwin was just a cultural icon.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I grew up watching all of his stuff on TV.
- 8:38Speaker 3: You never had to meet him. to feel like you
- 8:41Speaker 3: knew him, to feel like he had an impact on you,
- 8:44Speaker 3: your family, your country, the people that you love. So
- 8:47Speaker 3: that's my question this morning as a bit of a
- 8:49Speaker 3: thought provoker. Who's had an impact on you or this
- 8:52Speaker 3: country and someone you've never met? We'd love to hear it.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Let's head out to Beverly. Nick, good morning.
- 8:57Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 8:57Speaker 4: High fivers.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Ned and Sam, how the bloody hell are you? I
- 9:01Speaker 3: like that energy, Nick. Yeah, that's what we need more of.
- 9:04Speaker 9: That's Stephen Rhodes. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
- 9:09Speaker 9: He needs to have a listen to himself. He's a
- 9:12Speaker 9: babbling buffoon, mate.
- 9:14Speaker 16: You tell him to get stuck.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Oh, that's good. I've never heard him referred to as
- 9:21Speaker 3: a babbling buffoon, but I don't mind it.
- 9:24Speaker 9: Yeah, no, no, he can't talk. He's an absolute joke.
- 9:28Speaker 17: Hey, you two.
- 9:29Speaker 13: Should host that show in the afternoon.
- 9:32Speaker 9: I think it would have more common sense. on that
- 9:34Speaker 9: show than what's on there currently.
- 9:36Speaker 3: No, they do a terrific job. Cracking job, Josh.
- 9:38Speaker 16: No, they don't.
- 9:39Speaker 9: You do a better job.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Rating their backside off.
- 9:42Speaker 9: You do a better job. We need to get you
- 9:44Speaker 9: out there.
- 9:45Speaker 7: So the whole world can hear you. You two rock.
- 9:48Speaker 9: Stephen Rowe is a flop.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Well, okay, Nick.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I don't overly agree with you.
- 9:55Speaker 10: He's off.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He's done. He said his piece.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Rating their backsides off, I hear that. drive show.
- 10:00Speaker 2: The number one drive sports show in Adelaide.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Yes, doing a lot right.
- 10:03Speaker 4: If you don't mind.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Yeah, as are a lot of shows on AA. Fantastic.
- 10:07Speaker 5: I like that.
- 10:09Speaker 3: We're just going back to Steve Irwin. Is there someone
- 10:11Speaker 3: for you that you never met that had an impact
- 10:13Speaker 3: on you that you can think of in that kind
- 10:15Speaker 3: of Steve Irwin echelon?
- 10:18Speaker 2: This one's going to sound probably a little bit wanky
- 10:21Speaker 2: because it's American. Oh, yeah. But when I was growing up,
- 10:25Speaker 2: who was the guy from, was it Need for Speed
- 10:28Speaker 2: or someone died? Was it Paul Walker?
- 10:30Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I remember when his car crashed and he died and
- 10:33Speaker 2: a lot of people at school were distraught by it
- 10:35Speaker 2: and I couldn't understand. I never grew up watching the films.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Then Kobe Bryant died and I grew up in the
- 10:41Speaker 2: era of Shaq and Kobe was my team. I went
- 10:45Speaker 2: over to Staples. I got to see Kobe play. I
- 10:47Speaker 2: got Kobe Singlets at home. He was the guy. Once
- 10:50Speaker 2: he retired from the NBA, I stopped really caring about
- 10:52Speaker 2: the NBA.
- 10:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 10:53Speaker 2: So when he died, and maybe because it was the
- 10:56Speaker 2: tragic circumstances with it too, that one for me was just, whoa.
- 11:01Speaker 2: That was crazy.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Well, that's a good one, a good sporting one. He
- 11:03Speaker 3: had a huge legacy.
- 11:04Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Mega legacy.
- 11:06Speaker 7: Yep.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Love your work. Johnny, good morning.
- 11:08Speaker 8: Hi, Sam. Slamming Sam.
- 11:11Speaker 19: Slamming Sam.
- 11:13Speaker 3: You sound good, John.
- 11:14Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 11:15Speaker 5: Just waking up.
- 11:16Speaker 9: Hello, Ned.
- 11:17Speaker 19: Ah, sorry, I got messy.
- 11:19Speaker 20: There we go.
- 11:21Speaker 19: You know what I can't stand, apart from the Crows,
- 11:24Speaker 19: is politicians on all sides. The way they will lie, alleged,
- 11:30Speaker 19: or not necessarily always tell the truth, on all sides.
- 11:34Speaker 16: I can go back.
- 11:35Speaker 8: I'm 58, 10-58 the other day, as you folks all know.
- 11:39Speaker 8: I can remember all major parties making promises and all
- 11:43Speaker 8: the rest of it. I'm not a One Nation fan.
- 11:45Speaker 8: I don't like that. I don't like what she stands for,
- 11:48Speaker 8: Pauline Hanson.
- 11:50Speaker 7: Not at all.
- 11:50Speaker 8: I wouldn't vote for her in the fit. I don't
- 11:52Speaker 8: know where I'm going to put my vote next federal election.
- 11:54Speaker 8: I've got to vote for somebody. Otherwise, I cannot ring
- 11:57Speaker 8: talk back right now.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Where's this come from, Johnny?
- 12:02Speaker 7: I like politics.
- 12:03Speaker 8: I mean, when I say I like politics, I read
- 12:06Speaker 8: about it. I follow it. all the rest of it.
- 12:09Speaker 8: But I'm just jacking with bloody politicians just lying and
- 12:14Speaker 8: cheating and saying one thing on all sides. I mean,
- 12:18Speaker 8: Tony Abbott promised no changes to everything under the sun
- 12:22Speaker 8: and changed his mind in 2014 in the federal budget.
- 12:25Speaker 8: Anthony Albanese is not necessarily always told the truth.
- 12:28Speaker 7: I won't say lie.
- 12:30Speaker 8: I've always told the truth.
- 12:32Speaker 7: I don't know where I'm going to go.
- 12:34Speaker 8: I've never seen politics in this country look so bloody barren.
- 12:39Speaker 8: It really does lack talent. I'll tell you something. I
- 12:41Speaker 8: didn't always vote for John Howard, but the Howard government
- 12:44Speaker 8: had debt. I'm a little bit older than you blokes.
- 12:46Speaker 8: The Howard government had debt. It had John Howard, who
- 12:49Speaker 8: wasn't a bad Prime Minister, a good Prime Minister, I thought,
- 12:53Speaker 8: and so I didn't always vote.
- 12:54Speaker 19: For him, but I respected the man.
- 12:55Speaker 8: It had.
- 12:57Speaker 8: Peter Costello was a good treasurer. Like Ian McLaughlin, the
- 13:07Speaker 8: KD's former state cricket mate. Who else was there? There
- 13:12Speaker 8: was Alexander Downer with Foreign Affairs.
- 13:16Speaker 19: The depth batted deeper. It was a bit more.
- 13:19Speaker 8: It was quite good. Hawk was good. Hawk was a
- 13:22Speaker 8: bloody good labour man.
- 13:23Speaker 3: I feel like we're getting into rambling territory here, John.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Johnny, we always love your coals, mate. We always love
- 13:29Speaker 2: your coals.
- 13:29Speaker 3: We do love your coals. I just needed a bit
- 13:31Speaker 3: more of a kind of punchline or something with that, John.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Just felt like it was a verbal thought. You know
- 13:36Speaker 3: what I mean?
- 13:36Speaker 2: I'd love to know where that came. Did you just
- 13:38Speaker 2: wake up, Johnny, and just needed to get that off
- 13:39Speaker 2: your chest?
- 13:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I think John just needed to.
- 13:41Speaker 2: We're a good vehicle for that here in early breakfast.
- 13:43Speaker 3: No, we are. We love when people call up and
- 13:46Speaker 3: do all of that. But I thought he needed to
- 13:48Speaker 3: kind of say that out loud, write it down, you know,
- 13:51Speaker 3: kind of Clay's what he wanted to say and then
- 13:53Speaker 3: get it out there.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Text line. Paul, is this Tim Tam Pauly by any chance?
- 13:57Speaker 10: It is.
- 13:58Speaker 6: Okay.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Good morning, boys. Ned, it's 5AA favorite Tim and Pauly here.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You know me quite well as I'm in front of
- 14:06Speaker 2: the 5AA box every home Crows game. Now, who is
- 14:09Speaker 2: the Cole team on Saturday night? Can you give us
- 14:11Speaker 2: an update, please? Keep up the good work. I'll be
- 14:13Speaker 2: in southern Spain. Are you with Pembo? As you know,
- 14:16Speaker 2: free or for all, come find me with time with
- 14:18Speaker 2: a ticket. Pauly, it is Will Goodings, it is Tom Wren,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and it's Scott Camporelli with Monique van der Hagen on
- 14:26Speaker 2: the boundary.
- 14:26Speaker 3: And Rowie will be kicking around as well.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Rowie will be kicking around pre and post and halftime
- 14:30Speaker 2: and doing Rowie things. Let's head out to Torrensville. Reno,
- 14:34Speaker 2: good morning.
- 14:35Speaker 9: Good morning, high-fivers.
- 14:36Speaker 14: How are you this morning?
- 14:37Speaker 10: Hello, Reno.
- 14:37Speaker 3: We're well. How are you?
- 14:38Speaker 14: Well, I'm well, thanks. Now, listen here, Johnny from Pornhub.
- 14:43Speaker 14: When do you ever ring and say you like.
- 14:46Speaker 9: This or you like that or you like him or
- 14:48Speaker 9: you like him?
- 14:49Speaker 14: You always ring and you bag the politicians, you bag
- 14:53Speaker 14: the crows. I don't know why so many poor people
- 14:55Speaker 14: ring and always bag the crows. They're worried about the crows.
- 14:59Speaker 20: Why are they always worried about the crows?
- 15:00Speaker 9: Now, it's coming up to cricket season.
- 15:03Speaker 13: And he's going to bag Steve Waugh because he always
- 15:07Speaker 13: bags Steve Waugh.
- 15:08Speaker 9: So he's always got an agenda.
- 15:10Speaker 14: He's never got anything good to say. Get off the phone, Johnny,
- 15:13Speaker 14: from Port Augusta. You've got nothing better to say.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Well, Reno, Reno, Reno, Reno, we appreciate your call too,
- 15:18Speaker 2: but you've just done exactly what Johnny does. So have
- 15:21Speaker 2: you got anything positive to add on this Friday, Reno?
- 15:23Speaker 2: What are you doing up and about this early? What's
- 15:25Speaker 2: going on?
- 15:26Speaker 14: Well, I'm doing my usual work every morning at 4.30.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Get up.
- 15:31Speaker 20: With you guys, guys, I work.
- 15:33Speaker 7: I do cleaning.
- 15:34Speaker 14: So I'm up and about doing my vacuum cleaning, and
- 15:36Speaker 14: I hate to stop vacuuming. But another thing with the trees, boys,
- 15:42Speaker 14: with the trees, okay?
- 15:44Speaker 7: I love it.
- 15:44Speaker 14: I love what's happening, but for goodness sakes, These ribbons everywhere.
- 15:49Speaker 14: Why are the ribbons all the way down to past
- 15:52Speaker 14: the fire station, the Port Wakewood Road? Are they going
- 15:55Speaker 14: to chop those trees down?
- 15:55Speaker 3: I think it's supposed to be symbolic, isn't it, Reno?
- 15:57Speaker 2: It's doing its job, if you think about it, because
- 16:00Speaker 2: it's got you talking about it on Talkback Radio, Reno.
- 16:03Speaker 16: It has, hasn't it?
- 16:03Speaker 2: Yep.
- 16:04Speaker 14: Come on, bring it on, boys.
- 16:05Speaker 8: Bring it on.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Well done, Reno. Graeme, good morning to you.
- 16:10Speaker 21: Oh, my goodness, boys.
- 16:11Speaker 7: How are we?
- 16:12Speaker 3: Hello, Graeme.
- 16:13Speaker 7: Graeme.
- 16:14Speaker 21: I'll try and lift the mood a little bit if
- 16:16Speaker 21: I can. But initially, I want.
- 16:18Speaker 22: To talk about the old croaky pokey. I'm a bit worried.
- 16:22Speaker 22: I saw that and I just thought, oh, my goodness,
- 16:25Speaker 22: if we lose Saturday night, every Port Power fan and
- 16:29Speaker 22: every opposing fan is just going to bring that up
- 16:32Speaker 22: from here to next Christmas.
- 16:34Speaker 21: It's just, oh, I mean, I hope we win.
- 16:37Speaker 22: I'll be there Saturday night and.
- 16:38Speaker 21: I think we will win. It's going to be a
- 16:41Speaker 21: cracking game. We've got to do it for the Texans.
- 16:45Speaker 21: We've got to do it for Nixie. All the pressure
- 16:48Speaker 21: that's been put on the club. And I think we will.
- 16:50Speaker 21: What do you think, Ned?
- 16:52Speaker 3: I think we'll win. I think we'll win well, Graham.
- 16:54Speaker 3: But goodness, last night was just that little reminder. It's
- 16:58Speaker 3: finals footy, isn't it? Anything can happen.
- 17:00Speaker 21: Pressure.
- 17:01Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 17:01Speaker 7: Pressure.
- 17:02Speaker 21: We've got to cope with that pressure. I think that's
- 17:04Speaker 21: the main thing. If the boys can cope when they eat, son,
- 17:07Speaker 21: and it's going to be on at certain times of
- 17:09Speaker 21: the game, if not the whole game, They've just got
- 17:11Speaker 21: to cope with that pressure and answer back and not
- 17:14Speaker 21: go into their shells and attack the game. And I
- 17:16Speaker 21: think we'll be all right.
- 17:17Speaker 3: I think you're right, Graeme. That's what Camporale, who is
- 17:20Speaker 3: a gun, he always talks about in the finals. You know,
- 17:23Speaker 3: you've got to execute your fundamentals. So your ground balls
- 17:26Speaker 3: need to be clean. You need to take the footy cleanly.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Execute your handballs. You're kicking all of the basic skills
- 17:32Speaker 3: under finals-like pressure. The team that can execute those better wins.
- 17:38Speaker 17: Absolutely.
- 17:38Speaker 21: I think you're spot on there because it's If those
- 17:41Speaker 21: ground ball gets, the minute you start fumbling and things
- 17:43Speaker 21: like missing kicks, that's indicative of not coping with that
- 17:47Speaker 21: pressure in my eyes anyway.
- 17:48Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Fantastic. Thank you, Graeme.
- 17:51Speaker 8: Go the Crows.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Well done.
- 17:53Speaker 8: Well said.
- 17:54Speaker 3: The croaky pokey. It's the club's finals weapon, says Matt Turner.
- 17:59Speaker 4: Love it.
- 18:01Speaker 2: We'll see. 22 after 5, 8223 0000 044808 1395. Keep
- 18:07Speaker 2: those calls and texts coming in. Quick break, of course.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Rennie coming up shortly. We will talk about Frio and Hawthorne.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Did you see that coming?
- 18:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was maybe a chance, but I
- 18:18Speaker 3: definitely would have tipped Fremantle.
- 18:19Speaker 4: Yeah. Give us a call.
- 18:21Speaker 3: It's a Friday on the other side of the break.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Just call us and say g'day.
- 18:24Speaker 10: We love it.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Or if you want to sing your team's song.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 18:31Speaker 2: 25 after 5, go on this Friday morning. You jump
- 18:39Speaker 2: on the phones, 8223 0000, 044808 1395, going for a
- 18:44Speaker 2: top of 21 degrees. Rob on the text line. Guys,
- 18:48Speaker 2: it's show E. What is your favourite show bag? I
- 18:52Speaker 2: love Birdie Beetle as a starter. Then another one. Then licorice?
- 18:59Speaker 2: Is that a show bag?
- 19:00Speaker 12: Licorice.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Don't know.
- 19:01Speaker 14: Yes.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Charlie, hi. The team song, Sturt, Nord and Melbourne are
- 19:05Speaker 2: the same. What is the best song? What's the best
- 19:09Speaker 2: footy song?
- 19:10Speaker 3: I do have a soft spot for the Richmond one,
- 19:13Speaker 3: which is ironic.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Everyone does.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Given, I think the Richmond song gave my footy club
- 19:17Speaker 3: a little.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Bit of grief.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but you weren't there at the time.
- 19:19Speaker 10: I wasn't.
- 19:20Speaker 2: What team did you grow up going for?
- 19:22Speaker 3: Western Bulldogs and then Geelong.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Oh, you changed.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I did. I like both teams.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Away from Tigerland.
- 19:31Speaker 3: You can't not love that.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Yellow and black.
- 19:34Speaker 3: How good is it? What's the best AFL team song?
- 19:36Speaker 3: 8223 0000. If you can be bothered, you can call
- 19:39Speaker 3: in and talk about that, despite it not really being
- 19:42Speaker 3: that interesting. Oh, Ange says North Melbourne. Perhaps it is
- 19:46Speaker 3: a little interesting. What about that decision from Clive?
- 19:48Speaker 2: Join in the chorus. and sing it one at all.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Yes.
- 19:51Speaker 8: All right.
- 19:52Speaker 3: At the fear of not repeating a boring show like
- 19:54Speaker 3: we did apparently yesterday.
- 19:55Speaker 2: With our pets. We had some feedback from that, didn't we?
- 19:57Speaker 3: We had some feedback. My girlfriend wasn't happy. She said
- 19:59Speaker 3: that was boring when I just asked everyone to text
- 20:02Speaker 3: in about their pets.
- 20:02Speaker 10: I loved it.
- 20:03Speaker 2: How many radio shows has she hosted?
- 20:05Speaker 3: Yeah, correct. Stay in your lane, love. Well, I love
- 20:10Speaker 3: it when people send in their border collies and budgies
- 20:12Speaker 3: and all kinds of things. I felt like we learnt
- 20:14Speaker 3: more about our listeners, which I enjoy. Now, this is interesting. Tim,
- 20:18Speaker 3: tell me whether this is true or not. I did
- 20:20Speaker 3: some research for the show, as I always do, very diligently.
- 20:24Speaker 3: I stay up for hours researching content for the show.
- 20:28Speaker 10: Have you ever.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Wondered why things are called, say, an avenue, a court,
- 20:32Speaker 3: a crescent, a boulevard, et cetera?
- 20:35Speaker 2: Well, a road, a street... That's a road that's got a,
- 20:40Speaker 2: you can go through both ends, like a court, a
- 20:45Speaker 2: place is a dead end.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Yeah, well done. Yes, apparently yes. So a court is
- 20:50Speaker 3: a dead end. A crescent is a curved road, apparently.
- 20:55Speaker 5: Oh.
- 20:56Speaker 3: A boulevard is a wide landscaped road.
- 21:00Speaker 2: West Lakes Boulevard, yeah, okay.
- 21:01Speaker 3: An avenue apparently runs east to west.
- 21:05Speaker 2: No.
- 21:06Speaker 3: A street runs north to south, and then an alley
- 21:10Speaker 3: has rear garage access. Essentially, that's the framework for why
- 21:15Speaker 3: things are called either a court, crescent, boulevard, avenue.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Street, or alley.
- 21:19Speaker 2: So, go again. So, street is what? North, south, did
- 21:22Speaker 2: you say?
- 21:24Speaker 3: Yes. To my reading, a street runs north to south.
- 21:28Speaker 3: An avenue runs east to west. Now, I'm not sure
- 21:31Speaker 3: if this is 100% true.
- 21:32Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 21:33Speaker 3: But isn't that very interesting?
- 21:34Speaker 2: Because here in the city, we've got Franklin Street and
- 21:36Speaker 2: we have King William Road. Oh, hang on.
- 21:39Speaker 22: Yeah.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Okay.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Is that a thing? 8223 0000. Is that something you've heard?
- 21:44Speaker 3: Is that true?
- 21:48Speaker 2: I know that they have meanings such as the dead
- 21:51Speaker 2: ends and the boulevard, but the road, that's an interesting one.
- 21:54Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Yeah.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Why is it called a driveway when you park on it?
- 22:01Speaker 2: Drive stop.
- 22:03Speaker 3: I suppose you do kind of drive onto it, don't you?
- 22:05Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Confusing. Frank from Birkenhead, help.
- 22:07Speaker 10: Us, please.
- 22:08Speaker 17: I've got a good footy song for you, mate.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Do you remember this one?
- 22:12Speaker 17: I think it's a good one.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Tell us.
- 22:13Speaker 15: Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars.
- 22:17Speaker 9: Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Very, very good and well sung too, Frank. Frank, sorry.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Is it really a footy song, though, when it's an
- 22:29Speaker 2: advert for Holden's?
- 22:31Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.
- 22:32Speaker 6: I mean.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I like it.
- 22:34Speaker 21: Yeah, I don't know.
- 22:35Speaker 17: It's still got the football and.
- 22:38Speaker 16: Yeah, it's still got the football in it.
- 22:40Speaker 7: But, yeah, I don't know.
- 22:41Speaker 22: But I'll just– or up there, Cazaley.
- 22:43Speaker 3: Do you like the Mike Brady ones up there, Cazaley,
- 22:46Speaker 3: and last day in September, Frank?
- 22:47Speaker 7: I like the up– yeah, I do like that one.
- 22:51Speaker 11: Yeah, I do.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Because there's one day in September we want to remember.
- 22:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I like it.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Sorry you had to listen to that.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Well done, Frank.
- 23:02Speaker 17: I think you better tell me again.
- 23:06Speaker 21: In case you're.
- 23:09Speaker 23: Wondering, this commercial is brought to you by football, meat pies, kangaroos,
- 23:16Speaker 23: and Australia's own car.
- 23:18Speaker 4: They go together underneath.
- 23:20Speaker 9: The sun and stars.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Football and meat pies, kangaroos and old cars.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Frank's done an interesting thing there. What is the best...
- 23:29Speaker 2: We were talking about, obviously, team songs, but what's the
- 23:32Speaker 2: best footy song?
- 23:34Speaker 3: Up there, because Ailey's the most famous, isn't it?
- 23:36Speaker 2: It is the most famous, but it might not be
- 23:37Speaker 2: everyone's favourite. There are a few kicking around. So I wonder, 822-300-00,
- 23:44Speaker 2: is there any footy songs out there that people like?
- 23:47Speaker 6: In there and fight Out there and.
- 23:50Speaker 10: Let them show us.
- 24:05Speaker 2: It's funny, every grand final, we still look for Mike
- 24:08Speaker 2: Brady to sing up there, and it brings the house down.
- 24:11Speaker 2: No matter what international act is at the MCG on
- 24:14Speaker 2: that last day in September, Mike Brady on his little
- 24:17Speaker 2: dice and his guitar on his own always sends chills
- 24:21Speaker 2: down my spine.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Yeah, because they do a good job not to overuse it.
- 24:25Speaker 3: They don't wheel it out in round one and then
- 24:27Speaker 3: do it at gather round. They just keep it for September,
- 24:30Speaker 3: and that's why it's so notable. It's a great tune.
- 24:33Speaker 2: And then you've got the other one of Mike Brady's
- 24:35Speaker 2: classics of.
- 24:40Speaker 6: One day in September We want to remember There isn't
- 24:49Speaker 6: any doubting We'll be in there shouting Football's such a.
- 24:56Speaker 10: Part of this whole town And we know that you
- 25:01Speaker 10: won't let.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Us down Good old Mike Brady. Not bad.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Fantastic. I wonder if there's a song about the croaky
- 25:10Speaker 3: pokey and it being the final secret for the Adelaide Crows.
- 25:14Speaker 3: If they're not setting up properly at stoppage and people
- 25:16Speaker 3: are out of place, they'll go, oh, hang on, no,
- 25:17Speaker 3: we did the hokey pokey. That'll fix it. Yeah, we'll
- 25:20Speaker 3: do that.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers on the text line again there, Neddy.
- 25:24Speaker 3: I love Mandy and her Blue Brothers.
- 25:26Speaker 5: I'm an avenue and we run north.
- 25:28Speaker 3: To south, Mandy. That run east to west, though, but
- 25:37Speaker 3: there are roads north to south as well as streets.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Why is it called a freeway when you go 2km
- 25:42Speaker 3: an hour? Mandy, so are you telling me that my
- 25:46Speaker 3: little philosophy around streets and avenues and courts isn't correct?
- 25:50Speaker 2: Well, Andrew, did you read Andrew? Is that Victoria Avenue
- 25:52Speaker 2: is only parked, doesn't run east to west, it runs
- 25:54Speaker 2: north to south, so that blows the theory out of
- 25:56Speaker 2: the water.
- 25:57Speaker 20: Oh.
- 25:58Speaker 3: LAUGHTER I thought I was onto something. I read that,
- 26:01Speaker 3: and I thought that's really interesting. I did a little
- 26:03Speaker 3: bit of research. Probably not enough to take it to air,
- 26:05Speaker 3: but there you go. But that's what you can do.
- 26:07Speaker 2: You stayed up all night researching.
- 26:09Speaker 6: I do.
- 26:09Speaker 3: I stay up all night researching content for the program.
- 26:12Speaker 2: 436 on the text line, of course. I feel like
- 26:15Speaker 2: it's the unofficial anthem of the AFL. Morning, boys, hunters,
- 26:18Speaker 2: and collectors. Holy grail always makes me think of grand
- 26:21Speaker 2: final day. Have an awesome day.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Great tune.
- 26:26Speaker 16: Phone lines are.
- 26:28Speaker 5: Open, 8223 0000.
- 26:28Speaker 10: Michael from Ross Trevor's done that.
- 26:40Speaker 6: Hello, Michael.
- 26:55Speaker 9: Good morning, 5AA, 5AA team.
- 27:00Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
- 27:01Speaker 3: We're the high-fivers, mate. We're not the 5AM team. We're
- 27:03Speaker 3: the high-fivers.
- 27:04Speaker 9: All right.
- 27:06Speaker 17: Didn't have enough coffee this morning.
- 27:07Speaker 9: So here it is.
- 27:09Speaker 20: We are the Navy Blues. We are the old dark
- 27:14Speaker 20: Navy Blues. We're the team that never lets you down.
- 27:18Speaker 20: We're the only team.
- 27:19Speaker 9: Oh, Carlton knows.
- 27:20Speaker 17: That's all I know.
- 27:22Speaker 3: I like it. I like it a lot, Michael. You've
- 27:24Speaker 3: been singing that song a fair bit recently.
- 27:27Speaker 9: Actually, no, I was singing it in my school days.
- 27:31Speaker 12: Oh.
- 27:32Speaker 9: That was our colours.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Oh, I was going to say, is that when the
- 27:35Speaker 2: last time they won?
- 27:36Speaker 9: That takes me back to 1982, 83, 84, and one
- 27:41Speaker 9: of those years, I can't remember which one, we actually
- 27:43Speaker 9: won the Grand Final.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Oh, well done. At school?
- 27:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:47Speaker 9: No, Old Scholars, actually.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Oh, beautiful.
- 27:49Speaker 9: School, Old Scholars.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Well done, Michael. What else is crack-a-lacking? You going for
- 27:54Speaker 3: your walk? How are the tractors?
- 27:55Speaker 17: We had to stop and walk to talk to you.
- 27:58Speaker 9: It's actually very pleasant, isn't it?
- 28:00Speaker 17: You notice how the weather is... It's very nice because
- 28:02Speaker 17: it's not raining in the forecast yet.
- 28:05Speaker 2: 13.2. 13.2, top of 21 today. Not a bad day.
- 28:09Speaker 9: It does feel warm. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Big
- 28:13Speaker 9: long ride tomorrow, three hours, and rain in the morning.
- 28:16Speaker 14: So, oh well.
- 28:18Speaker 17: Probably the last for the end of the spring. But
- 28:21Speaker 17: it's going to be nice weather for the next couple
- 28:22Speaker 17: of weeks.
- 28:22Speaker 20: I had a look at the.
- 28:23Speaker 17: Long-range forecast, and it's showing that we're going into a
- 28:27Speaker 17: pattern of high pressure, which would be good for us.
- 28:30Speaker 17: Get outside, enjoy it.
- 28:31Speaker 18: Have a nice day.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Thank you, Michael.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Well done, Michael.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Spring weather on the way, you're right.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Before we get to the break, Andrew on the text line,
- 28:38Speaker 2: and a couple of others have nominated Greg Champions. The
- 28:41Speaker 2: thing about football... I don't mind being a great champion.
- 29:00Speaker 2: That's a good one.
- 29:01Speaker 3: I reckon that's a really good one. I like that song.
- 29:03Speaker 2: It's a very good sing-along one. Up there, Gazaley can
- 29:06Speaker 2: be out of people's range.
- 29:07Speaker 12: Yeah.

- 30:17Speaker 8: How are you?
- 30:18Speaker 3: Very well. What are you doing up at this crazy hour, Anthony?
- 30:22Speaker 16: I'm a bus.
- 30:22Speaker 23: Driver for the public transport.
- 30:25Speaker 16: And today the O-Bahn is opening up after three weeks
- 30:29Speaker 16: of closure.
- 30:30Speaker 19: Ah, nice.
- 30:31Speaker 3: So that's been closed for some maintenance, has it?
- 30:33Speaker 16: It certainly has.
- 30:34Speaker 23: They've been relaying the bitumen at T3 Plaza, and it's
- 30:38Speaker 23: been closed.
- 30:42Speaker 16: So there's been delays up.
- 30:44Speaker 23: To 20 minutes, 30 minutes on all the buses out
- 30:46Speaker 23: that side of town.
- 30:48Speaker 16: But today the O-Bahn opens up.
- 30:49Speaker 23: It opened up this morning at 4.20 for the people
- 30:53Speaker 23: starting at the airport at 5 o'clock.
- 30:56Speaker 16: And, yeah, we're very happy. We won't be late today,
- 31:01Speaker 16: let's put it that way. So all the people that
- 31:03Speaker 16: get the bus in the northeast suburbs, you'll be very
- 31:07Speaker 16: joyful to know that you'll be on the track from
- 31:09Speaker 16: C3 Plaza to the city. 19 minutes and we'll have
- 31:13Speaker 16: you in town.
- 31:14Speaker 3: You little ripper.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Excellent update.
- 31:16Speaker 3: For some show tickets, Anthony, if you wanted to go.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it's of interest, but we've got
- 31:20Speaker 3: something to give away.
- 31:21Speaker 16: I always want to go to the show, Take the Kids.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Tell us the best and worst thing about being a
- 31:26Speaker 3: bus driver.
- 31:26Speaker 23: The best thing, just getting people to where they need
- 31:32Speaker 23: to be.
- 31:34Speaker 16: Because you don't know. You don't know what's.
- 31:37Speaker 23: Going on in the day, and you're going to get
- 31:38Speaker 23: them somewhere, and when they say thank you, that's all
- 31:42Speaker 23: we really ask.
- 31:44Speaker 3: That's good courtesy. You've got to thank the bus driver
- 31:47Speaker 3: when you get off the bus. If you don't do that,
- 31:49Speaker 3: you're a clown.
- 31:51Speaker 8: Correct.
- 31:52Speaker 3: Because are they exiting from the front, or do you
- 31:55Speaker 3: have a mid-range door as well, Anthony? Because I find
- 31:58Speaker 3: the mid-range doors hard to thank the bus driver.
- 32:02Speaker 8: No, no.
- 32:04Speaker 16: So we drive the Arctic as well. The large ones
- 32:06Speaker 16: that bend in the middle.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
- 32:08Speaker 16: And they say thank you from all doors.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Do they?
- 32:11Speaker 2: Well done.
- 32:11Speaker 8: Good.
- 32:12Speaker 16: Yes, they do.
- 32:13Speaker 3: I'd yell it. Even if I was getting out a
- 32:14Speaker 3: mid-range door or a back door, I'd be saying, Anthony.
- 32:17Speaker 15: Thank you, legend.
- 32:19Speaker 16: That's all we want.
- 32:20Speaker 7: That's all we want.
- 32:21Speaker 5: All right.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Show pass.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Family show pass coming to you this afternoon, mate. I'll
- 32:24Speaker 2: send it out.
- 32:24Speaker 23: Thank you very much, boys.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Enjoy your morning back on the tracks in the Oban.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Amber in North Haven, good morning.
- 32:31Speaker 15: Good morning and cheer, cheer the red and the white.
- 32:37Speaker 15: Honour the name by day and by night. Lift that
- 32:41Speaker 15: noble banner high. Shake down the thunder from the sky.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Amber, I love that. That was fantastic.
- 32:53Speaker 15: Yeah, obviously I love the swans.
- 32:56Speaker 3: You are a swans fanatic, are you? How long have
- 32:58Speaker 3: you supported the swans for?
- 33:01Speaker 15: Since, well, let's see.
- 33:02Speaker 2: South Melbourne?
- 33:05Speaker 7: No, no.
- 33:05Speaker 16: Okay.
- 33:08Speaker 15: I met my, I didn't know at the time, but
- 33:10Speaker 15: my future husband and father at my child in Queensland,
- 33:15Speaker 15: and they had no AFL up there, and his sister.
- 33:20Speaker 15: Used to send tapes up every week of the Swans.
- 33:23Speaker 15: And so I just got to know Paul Kelly. And,
- 33:27Speaker 15: of course, then there was Barassi, my hero. And then
- 33:32Speaker 15: Plugger went up. And so I fell in love with them.
- 33:35Speaker 15: And at the time, the Crows were in, and I
- 33:37Speaker 15: bowed for the power. And so I just automatically bowed
- 33:42Speaker 15: for the Swans.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Wise decision. You've had a lot more success doing that, Amber.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Well done, Amber. Let's keep moving. Andrew in Prospect, good morning.
- 33:52Speaker 9: Yeah, he's a bus driver.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have used him.
- 33:58Speaker 5: I'm on my way from one side of Adelaide to the.
- 34:02Speaker 20: Other side of Adelaide.
- 34:03Speaker 3: What are you doing this morning, Andrew?
- 34:05Speaker 11: What I do every morning. Yeah, I go out and
- 34:07Speaker 11: help my godson who's got a profound disability. Yeah, I'm
- 34:13Speaker 11: an Auslan communicator too. And, yeah, so as NDIS put.
- 34:18Speaker 5: It, I'm one of the informal support.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Oh, good on you, Andrew.
- 34:21Speaker 5: So every morning I'm on the road by 5 o'clock,
- 34:25Speaker 5: out there by about 4, 6, and get him going
- 34:28Speaker 5: for the morning so he can go off to his
- 34:30Speaker 5: day option program and coordinate the support workers who, unfortunately,
- 34:34Speaker 5: are not skilled with also in communication.
- 34:37Speaker 11: So, yeah, so I've been doing this for the last, well,
- 34:41Speaker 11: he's 22, so, yeah.
- 34:44Speaker 20: Most of his life, actually.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Well done, Andrew.
- 34:47Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Anyway, okay.
- 34:49Speaker 5: Yeah, but if Anthony ever wants to pick me up,
- 34:51Speaker 5: I'm more than willing to have a free bus ride and, yeah,
- 34:55Speaker 5: a bit of entertainment on the way.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Oh, love your work, Andrew.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Well done, Andrew. Sally in Hillcrest, good morning.
- 35:01Speaker 12: Good morning, boys. How are you?
- 35:03Speaker 3: You selling a few water tanks, Sal?
- 35:06Speaker 12: We are, actually. We're very busy.
- 35:08Speaker 8: Good.
- 35:09Speaker 12: I know.
- 35:09Speaker 3: It's brilliant.
- 35:12Speaker 12: Two things. One, I'm glad someone brought up North Melbourne
- 35:14Speaker 12: before because you can't beat North Melbourne's theme song.
- 35:17Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 35:18Speaker 12: I haven't got to hear it as much as I'd
- 35:21Speaker 12: like the last couple of seasons, but I thought we
- 35:24Speaker 12: were on the right track this year, so Alistair getting
- 35:30Speaker 12: sacked totally threw me the other day. The second thing is,
- 35:35Speaker 12: this is one for you, Nettie, when you see Timmy
- 35:37Speaker 12: G next, Yes. Ask him about breaking into the Royal
- 35:42Speaker 12: Show 15 years ago.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness me. I haven't heard that story, Sally.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Is that a good yarn, is it?
- 35:48Speaker 12: Yeah, well, it was actually a 5AA competition. We rocked
- 35:53Speaker 12: up there for our breakfast with him and Keith Conlon,
- 35:56Speaker 12: and nobody had given Timmy tickets, and no one at
- 35:59Speaker 12: the gate knew what was going on. And we were
- 36:02Speaker 12: meant to be meeting somebody from the Pigs, And she
- 36:06Speaker 12: came and said, that's all right. I know how to
- 36:07Speaker 12: get you guys in. We'll just break you in this way.
- 36:10Speaker 12: So she took us in through the back. So technically
- 36:13Speaker 12: we had no ticket to get in and no proof
- 36:15Speaker 12: we were meant to be in there. But she took
- 36:17Speaker 12: us through and did everything we were meant to do.
- 36:19Speaker 12: CWA were waiting for us for breakfast and everything. But yeah,
- 36:23Speaker 12: so Timmy pretty much with the pig lady that had
- 36:26Speaker 12: to break about 15 of us into the show through
- 36:30Speaker 12: a side gate where no security was so that we
- 36:33Speaker 12: could do what We'd won because no one had organised
- 36:36Speaker 12: tickets for Tim and no one had told security.
- 36:39Speaker 2: That is hilarious. Well done, Sally. We obviously don't condone that.
- 36:41Speaker 2: We don't condone that. But 15 years statute of limitations,
- 36:44Speaker 2: you should be all right.
- 36:45Speaker 3: I think that's funny.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Super quick before Randy. Julie, Blake, you go ahead.
- 36:49Speaker 12: Good morning, Sammy and Ned.
- 36:51Speaker 5: Hello, Joyce.
- 36:52Speaker 24: I wasn't totally surprised last night. I didn't think Rio
- 36:56Speaker 24: had been playing terribly well for about.
- 36:57Speaker 7: The last month.
- 37:00Speaker 3: It's hard to stay at the top for the whole year, Julie,
- 37:02Speaker 3: isn't it?
- 37:03Speaker 24: Yeah, well, Mark's a Hawks supporter, so he's very happy
- 37:08Speaker 24: this morning. But yeah, I've been saying for about the
- 37:12Speaker 24: last month that I just thought they were a little
- 37:14Speaker 24: bit off and maybe they peaked a little bit too early.
- 37:18Speaker 24: You just cannot keep that kind of football they were playing.
- 37:22Speaker 24: You couldn't keep that up for, you know, 24 games
- 37:25Speaker 24: and then go into finals. But I just thought their
- 37:28Speaker 24: last month, People were saying, yes, because they're going to
- 37:34Speaker 24: finish top, they're just going a bit easy.
- 37:36Speaker 20: That's not always a good idea.
- 37:37Speaker 24: You keep playing the way you've played all year, and
- 37:40Speaker 24: I think maybe it derailed them a little bit. But
- 37:45Speaker 24: they just never looked good right from the start last night.
- 37:47Speaker 24: Very fumbly. Yeah, it surprised me, but it didn't surprise me.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Well done, Julie. We're talking about that right now.
- 37:56Speaker 3: The siren about to sound. Purple pain.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Hawthorne upset the top.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Of the ladder free-mantle to.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Lock up a home preliminary final.
- 38:08Speaker 13: A truly great game from a truly great club.
- 38:12Speaker 5: Maybe Sam Mitchell really is a coaching genius.
- 38:16Speaker 3: What a win by 32 points.
- 38:18Speaker 2: And we're going to talk that win by 32 points
- 38:22Speaker 2: of Hawthorne on the other side of the break with
- 38:23Speaker 2: Tommy Wren.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Eight minutes to six.
- 38:36Speaker 4: The latest in sports with Tom Rand.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Ready?
- 38:39Speaker 4: Good morning, boys.
- 38:40Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
- 38:41Speaker 4: Let's start with last night's game, shall we? Fremantle Hawthorne.
- 38:43Speaker 18: I know you've just been talking to a few of
- 38:45Speaker 18: the listeners about it.
- 38:47Speaker 4: What a game.
- 38:49Speaker 18: The Hawks, tip your hat, unbelievable pressure. They just shut
- 38:53Speaker 18: down the Dockers and never let them get going. I
- 38:56Speaker 18: know Fremantle kicked the first goal, but after that, it
- 38:58Speaker 18: was all one-way traffic and I think that's as bad
- 39:01Speaker 18: a performance at home in a final as I've seen
- 39:04Speaker 18: from any side.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Boy, were the Dockers poor.
- 39:08Speaker 18: Josh Tracy, I think he's such a good player and
- 39:11Speaker 18: deserves to be All-Australian. That's one of the worst nights
- 39:13Speaker 18: for a key forward I've seen. They just could not
- 39:16Speaker 18: get going, could they? It was a shocker. Thankfully, that's
- 39:19Speaker 18: why they've got the double chance, but my goodness, it's
- 39:22Speaker 18: turned the whole thing on its head now, hasn't it,
- 39:23Speaker 18: the final series?
- 39:24Speaker 3: Absolutely. I thought the Hawthorne key defenders were excellent, weren't they?
- 39:28Speaker 3: Freo's big men didn't have much influence on the game.
- 39:31Speaker 3: It was a few good little coaching moves from Sam Mitchell.
- 39:34Speaker 3: He tried to bring Pearce up the ground to stop
- 39:35Speaker 3: his intercept, which was clever. Yeah, it was a great night.
- 39:39Speaker 3: It's hard to sustain that pressure for four quarters, but
- 39:41Speaker 3: Hawthorne did it, didn't they? They did it.
- 39:42Speaker 4: They were unbelievable. And Sam Mitchell, I think he's just
- 39:45Speaker 4: such a good coach.
- 39:47Speaker 18: One of their great all-time players, and I don't say
- 39:50Speaker 18: that lightly, off a step, left foot, right foot, and
- 39:53Speaker 18: his handballing as well, left hand, right hand. as dynamic
- 39:56Speaker 18: and clever a player as I've seen. And if he
- 39:59Speaker 18: continues on this trajectory, I think he's on track to
- 40:03Speaker 18: be an all-time coach. He has to win a premiership
- 40:05Speaker 18: or two to do it, but he's on track. They've
- 40:07Speaker 18: got a home prelim, um, He could be one of
- 40:10Speaker 18: the all-time, like in the era of Lee Matthews, I.
- 40:13Speaker 4: Think he's that good.
- 40:15Speaker 18: With that list, like you said, Ned, I'm not sure
- 40:17Speaker 18: it's better than Adelaide's, but what he gets out of
- 40:19Speaker 18: them and what he does with them, he's exceptional.
- 40:23Speaker 3: I like that they're a mix of smalls ahead of
- 40:25Speaker 3: the ball. I think Particularly in grand finals, so often
- 40:28Speaker 3: it's the small that gets you. You think Kai Lohman,
- 40:30Speaker 3: you think Bobby Hill in recent grand finals, both Norm
- 40:32Speaker 3: Smith medalists. It's often the smalls in final series. So McDonald, Watson, Guinevan, Moore,
- 40:38Speaker 3: they're all stars. I love their smalls ahead of the ball, Hawthorne.
- 40:41Speaker 3: And it's just got me thinking and linking it back
- 40:43Speaker 3: to an Adelaide link. If you get Rochelle, Rankin, Bailey,
- 40:46Speaker 3: it's a similar vein, isn't it?
- 40:48Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.
- 40:48Speaker 18: And that's a good little segue into the Crows. So
- 40:51Speaker 18: tomorrow night, we know that it's a huge game. all
- 40:54Speaker 18: on the line, and hopefully that's a bit of a
- 40:56Speaker 18: wake-up call that just because you're playing at home and
- 40:58Speaker 18: you're expected to win, it's not just going to happen.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Well, maybe if Frio should have done the hokey pokey. Yeah, exactly.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Matt Turner in the advertiser said, croaky pokey, it's the
- 41:10Speaker 3: club's finals weapon. You think that's finals weapon, the hokey pokey?
- 41:14Speaker 4: They're holding their hands.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that's a weapon in the finals?
- 41:17Speaker 3: Do you think opposition teams would be nervous about that weapon?
- 41:20Speaker 2: Quaking in their boots.
- 41:20Speaker 3: It's the equivalent of a nuke or something in warfare,
- 41:23Speaker 3: the hokey pokey.
- 41:25Speaker 18: Just like, oh, guys, we're six goals up, but they've
- 41:28Speaker 18: got the hokey pokey.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Everyone stay on. Yesterday they did a team-building activity where
- 41:33Speaker 3: they held hands and circled around the oval.
- 41:36Speaker 18: Make sure you are focused.
- 41:39Speaker 2: So Saturday night, Bulldogs, Crows, what are we thinking?
- 41:43Speaker 18: I just hope it's not a bit like what we
- 41:45Speaker 18: saw last night where, you know, the Hawks get three
- 41:48Speaker 18: or four goals in front, similar to the Dogs. If
- 41:50Speaker 18: that happens, you could sort of feel the air coming
- 41:52Speaker 18: out of the atmosphere in the stadium. If the Crows
- 41:55Speaker 18: can get hot early, I think they can really do
- 41:57Speaker 18: a number on the Dogs, and I hope they do.
- 41:59Speaker 18: And then guys like Richelli and those small forwards that
- 42:02Speaker 18: have been a bit out of touch lately can get
- 42:05Speaker 18: stuck into them. I don't think the Doggies, not sure
- 42:08Speaker 18: they've got a matchup for Isaac Rankin. I think Isaac
- 42:11Speaker 18: Rankin could rip them apart, and I just hope that
- 42:14Speaker 18: he does, given he didn't play, we know, for reasons why,
- 42:17Speaker 18: last year. But if he gets going, I think he
- 42:19Speaker 18: could be unbelievable tomorrow night.
- 42:22Speaker 3: I really rate Beveridge as a coach. Some people, you know,
- 42:27Speaker 3: believe he's not doing an excellent job. I think he is.
- 42:29Speaker 3: If you look at his team, I think he, you know,
- 42:31Speaker 3: I think he gets absolutely everything out of this side.
- 42:34Speaker 3: So you look at some of the names. You tell
- 42:35Speaker 3: me how many of these guys would get a game
- 42:37Speaker 3: in the Adelaide Crows side at the moment. You know, Bramble,
- 42:40Speaker 3: Michael Selwood, Buku Kamis behind the ball. You know, Hines
- 42:44Speaker 3: is playing on a wing. Butterick was an ex-Gold Coast,
- 42:49Speaker 3: was pretty much delisted there. Gardner, Lewis, Kennedy. These aren't
- 42:53Speaker 3: household names. I think Beveridge is an excellent coach. So
- 42:57Speaker 3: just watch this space for any moving parts. He will
- 42:59Speaker 3: try and suffocate the Adelaide Crows defensively, suffocate them through
- 43:03Speaker 3: aggressive team defence.
- 43:04Speaker 18: And the ace he's got up his sleeve clearly is
- 43:07Speaker 18: a guy called Marcus Bontempele, who is still, I think,
- 43:11Speaker 18: regarded as the best player in the comp.
- 43:12Speaker 4: Would that be fair?
- 43:13Speaker 3: I agree. But, Rennie, people talk about, you know, certain lists.
- 43:16Speaker 3: The Western Bulldogs, their worst six or eight players are
- 43:19Speaker 3: a lot worse, a lot further back than what the
- 43:22Speaker 3: Crows are, which to me tells me that Beveridge can coach.
- 43:25Speaker 8: Yep.
- 43:26Speaker 4: No, it's a totally fair point.
- 43:28Speaker 18: I think we see it day in or week in,
- 43:30Speaker 18: week out, you know, with what he does on match day.
- 43:33Speaker 4: His ability to reinvent.
- 43:35Speaker 18: And I think they've changed their game plan halfway through
- 43:37Speaker 18: the season off the back of all of the injuries
- 43:39Speaker 18: they've had. So, no, I think it's a totally fair point. Huge,
- 43:43Speaker 18: as we know, Sammy. Ramifications either way, if they win
- 43:46Speaker 18: or if they lose, you know, what happens next. But
- 43:49Speaker 18: let's just hope they get it done and then they'll
- 43:52Speaker 18: play the loser of Sydney and Brisbane who play tomorrow night. And,
- 43:55Speaker 18: of course, last night's result, for those wondering, what does
- 43:57Speaker 18: it mean? Well, Hawthorne are through to a home prelim
- 43:59Speaker 18: in two weeks, so they get the week off. Fremantle,
- 44:02Speaker 18: they have to now play next week, and they play
- 44:04Speaker 18: the winner of Carlton and Geelong tonight.
- 44:07Speaker 4: So you would think.
- 44:09Speaker 2: That's a cracker too.
- 44:10Speaker 4: It's a cracker.
- 44:10Speaker 18: I think Geelong will win. I think Geelong will win
- 44:13Speaker 18: reasonably comfortably, but I thought Fremantle would win last night.
- 44:16Speaker 4: So you just don't know.
- 44:18Speaker 3: So Fremantle will play at home or away next week?
- 44:20Speaker 4: At home again.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Double chance home. But then the prelim, if they make it,
- 44:22Speaker 2: it's away.
- 44:23Speaker 4: And likely against Brisbane.
- 44:25Speaker 19: Wow.
- 44:26Speaker 5: Bring it on.
- 44:27Speaker 3: Exciting final series.
- 44:27Speaker 2: It's totally wow.
- 44:28Speaker 18: Now, we were just talking off air about your great
- 44:31Speaker 18: work that you're doing at PAC and captain coach and
- 44:34Speaker 18: through to a qualifying final, a chance to go through
- 44:37Speaker 18: to a grand final. Footy clubs, as you know, amateur
