• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Well, it's May. And if you ever wonder what's the point,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: maybe actually after the weekend that we just had, we
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: should be going asking what's the two points, because there'd
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: be a couple of teams wondering that this week where
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: were the two points? But anyway, oh so much netbull
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that we watched on the weekend and it was so exciting.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And it's the week of Mother's Day, which for some
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of us is also very exciting but will likely be
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: very disappointing. But anyway, up until then, you're on No Dribble.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Strappy.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: talk about netball, where we talk about so much more.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: My name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I'm Cath Cobbs, I'm Lose Alice.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Hello. Hi, Hi, you're a little bit croky today, So
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we may get Catherine having to go offline every now
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and then because she's she's a bit of a scratchy throat.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: But you're feeling okay, you can put a little bit
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: dusty on top of I didn't have to work yesterday
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and he had one game of neppule this weekend.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Who work equals much drink.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: And equals pants yes, and it was good fun because
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: we're at a pub that had the netball on. Was
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: sitting there wine sending photos to Kim Green and Kira Tromp,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: who were on the Queen behind me.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Well, give it a shout out. A pub that's going
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to be playing the netball. We want to get behind it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Where do we all?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I had to ask them to change the channel, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: they did. But no, I'm not telling people where it was.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I might go back, you might go back there.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you. A couple of weeks ago, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was at the Opha hotel in Orange and they were
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: happy to put the netball on on a Saturday night.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: For me too, So so good, very civilized way to
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: sit and watch the needy and the kids. But I
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: was funny because there was a stack of people there.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I noticed none were watching the football that was on,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: so I thought, I'll go and get the channel change.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: No one certain will care. But then I looked around
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: again and there was a lot of families that had
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: turned and we're watching the netball. When it went on,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, yes, this is great. Kids eyes peeled
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: on the screen.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Well, they wouldn't have been disappointed. There were four really
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: good games on the weekend.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was mental.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It was mental. I mean, obviously we'll talk a little
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: bit more about that. But yesterday I'm feeling very virtuous
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: because I don't know about you guys, but I'm having
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a problem with my phone again. I'm trying very hard
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to manage being deliberate when I look at my phone.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And so Sunday morning is the only morning we don't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: have to set an alarm. So but we still wake
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up at a quarter to six, because you know, that's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the way life goes, isn't it. You can only sleep
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in on a day that the alarm is going to go.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But instead of looking at our phones, the children were
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: both asleep. But they're both old enough to be left now.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So we just went for a bushwalk. Walked out of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: our health because we lived near at Lane co National Park.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Hardly ever go there, and it's like this is paradise,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: this is like we live in this country with so
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: much natural, unspoiled beauty. And it was funny because during COVID,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: obviously that's where everyone was going. It was like pitt Street,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: this bush walk down in the Lane Cave National Park
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there and we encountered two people. This time. It wasn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: super early, but it's so everyone everyone's gone back to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: their gone back to their old ways. But Durne COVID's like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I've got to get these kids out of the house somehow.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Did you look at your phone or did you wake
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: up and go rite no phone at all?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So looked at the phone because and Saturday night is
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the only night, or Saturday and Sunday nights the only night.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have my phone in the bedroom now because
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: my son is at boarding school. I have it near
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: me at all times because then I can convince myself
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that I'm still somehow involved in the parenting process of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this child who was wrapped two weeks away from being eighteen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So started looking at it, had a coffee and then
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I just went, what are we doing? We said we're
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: not going to do this. So it's like put our
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: phones out. I left my phone at home.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Did you feel like you diddes On? I almost feel
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: like I'm missing a bra or a seat belt or
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: something huge. If I leave the house without my phone,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You know, if you accidentally leave your phone behind, that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a different thing. But when you make a decision to go,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I am going to separate myself from this device that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I lived quite a lot of my life perfectly happily without.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It feels it feels really virtuous, right, Yeah, But if
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't have my fit bit or my phone, then
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it would be like, well, if the data of this
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: walk is not being captured, is the walk actually happening?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Is there any point in getting out amongst all the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: natural beauty and having any low grade exercise if there's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: no proof of it?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is true, That is true.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: But do you remember back in the olden days, like
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I used to love waking up on a Sunday morning
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: and we used to get the Herald the paper home
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: deliver it when I lived in the city, and it
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: was just so good to get up and sit in
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: bed and have some cups of tea or coffee and
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: look through read the paper. But it doesn't quite feel
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: It feels a bit dirty. And when you're doing the
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: same thing reading your phone for hours. The newspaper was
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: something fore I.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Did too, And funny because all of the I've noticed
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: on the weekend we had our first game of netball
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: for the kids, and it's all e scoring. Now I
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: like the paper writing the paper down. Even I had
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to do some paperwork that was emailed to me that
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I had to fill in and send back. I printed
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: it off. You feel, But I just I love the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: feeling of writing in a form instead of doing it online.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: There is a bit of a thing about that, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I agree. I love an old school newspaper.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I went to the on Saturday morning watched my daughter play.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not coaching, I'm not doing anything. I sat there,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I drank coffee. I was distracted. I had conversations. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: tried very hard not to coach my daughter from the sidelines.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: When children came up to me and some of the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: other parents at the break, I said, go and listen
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to coach. And that was all I did. That was
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the only involvement I had, and it was lovely.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: That's very free.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: One day, one day, Hey, Elizabeth, I had a great
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: running on my flight home from Adelaide on Sunday morning.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: One of our all time favorite air hosts. I have
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: not seen him in this It's beautiful. Yeah, Dave works
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: for Quarters. As soon as I got on, he just
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: gave me the biggest high and he said, oh my gosh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited. To see I'll come down and talk
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: to you. So he was looking after business class. He's
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: at the shanky end and I was down in Plebville.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: But what he did say to the rest of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: staff was get down there and look after Catherine. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: they came down and they said, now, Dave said, we
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: have to offer you a sparkling wine or a bloody
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Mary because it was in the morning. And I said,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: it's not even nine o'clock. I know he knows me well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: but all pass, thank you, And.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: You said it's not even nine o'clock yet, so I'll hope.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll have to thanks.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: What about the people sitting either side of you? Basically
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: gets fat upon.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Anyway, he finally came down his house.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Liz, how's Gorney?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen them on flights for ages, blah blah blah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I had a good chat. Yes, anyway, so I got
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: very very sport. I've got another big hugg as I
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: exited the plane and he said to pass on his
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: hello for you.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: How lovely do you know?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Sometimes?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I often.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: One of the reasons I don't see Dave anymore is
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: because I mainly fly Virgin now and you know you
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: fly too much.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: When the host is go.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's great to see you again, You're like, yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I know, we all fly too much.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: There's a couple now who occasionally will bring me come
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: and hand me a coffee cup right to take away.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Coffee cup, but it is not coffee in it. It is.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Love that So I just occasionally sit on a fly
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: and I don't know what the person next to me
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: thinks because it's obvious it's not coffee. And I refuse
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: to drink it like champagne through the little lid with
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: the hole in it. So I take the lid off
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: and there and I see it and like, so, you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: someone has said to me once, is that about the
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: just friends?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my, go sit there and sit my coffee cup.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Like you know, if I was at home, there is
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: no way that I would drink champagne out of a
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: paper cup. But when you're on a flight up the back,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: not in business class, but somebody actually gives you that
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: little bit of business class gold, it's like, oh, this
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: is so nice.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: But you'd also not drink it at nine o'clock in
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the morning, but you do it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Any time once. It's like international waters, isn't it My
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: friend was once traveling overseas and his dad was on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the same flight. And my mate, Locke, was in economy
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and his dad was in business, and so at some
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: stage his dad asked the flight attendant, could you send
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this glass of wine back to my son in economy,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And Locke said, you know the little plastic water cups
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: with the with the peel of so long said, could
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you send this up to my dad? Class?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Oh love it about it?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Can we quickly talk about your T shirt?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I rock up And I was like, Oh, that's the
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: coolest little Dolly patent T shirt. And I think you
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: need to share the information with everyone that you shared
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it is a little Dolly Parton shirt. So I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: bought it last year when I was in the US,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And those of you who've been dribbling for a while
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: would remember that I am. A couple of times in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the last few years, I've been fortunate enough to go
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to Idaho with my dad to take him to a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: university reunion. But you set me a mission, and I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: had to bring back a whole bunch of American lollies.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So I went to Walmart and I bought this Dolly
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pat and T shirt in children's.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, it makes me laugh because I was
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: wandering through Target the other day and you know how
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: they've got a maternity section now, and they've got a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: petite section, and I somehow ended up in the petite
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and I looked up and then I just walked straight
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: back out fad point even looking in.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Go back where you came from, Catherine.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Go back to the tool ladies.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I love it. So it is at least at large kids,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although I can I do now when I remember
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to get my exercise tights from children's wear because they
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: are significantly cheaper than buying them in ladies were So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: for those La dribblers, if you're on the smaller side,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: smaller statue side, check out children's wear for your active wear.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Good on you?
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Is that a no dribble recommends.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Child slightly creepy?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But anyway, shopping to the children's department, it's not a euphemism.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It is actually shopping for clothes in the children's department. Yeah, okay,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't done that, but you have been shopping.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I have been. Oh my god. So let me tell
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: you about two online orders. The last two have been
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: a disaster grace one turned out really well and the
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: other one is still a disaster. And it's annoying because
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited to get the thing I ordered, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I haven't told anyone about what it is because I
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: want to surprise them. I had one for both of you.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I know. Do I tell you now? Because it's probably
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: never coming. It feels like it's a scam.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: No, you'll get it right. Keep going into it and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: get it right. I don't know. Liz all in favor
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of Catherine telling.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Us, well, is it good for the story?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: It's an awesome It's an awesome thing. Oh see, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: have to say, well, come on, come on, Okay, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: found and then you can get as excited as me. Right,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I found wands. Have you seen these ones? You screw
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: the star at the end of the stick and it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: got to slip. You put your credit card in and
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: then you put the stick.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I saw that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: When you go anywhere, you tap like a fairy and
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: is the coolest thing I've seen them People going through
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: like McDonald's drive through or what and they go to
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: tap their wand and the people holding the thing of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: what is wrong with you? Are you crazy? And it beats,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: and like, oh my god, what is happening? So I
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: ordered ten of them because I'm so excited, but it
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: looks like so I went through Amazon, but it looks
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: like the supplier is a scam. So it's somewhere it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: saying it somewhere. I've paid all this money for all
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: these warms, and I'm going to fight this one until
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I'm blue in the face because I'm excited for my ones.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: The other one I ordered some jeans. I didn't realize
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: they came from Germany anyway, So they finally get here.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Of course they don't fit, do they, And then you've
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: got to send the bastards back to Germany.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Spens to management.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, anyway, it's been about three weeks, had no
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: response to them about the refund or there was nothing
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: in my bank account. Finally send them an email and
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I've tracked down where it is. It's stuck in some
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: place in Germany waiting to be collected. So I send
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: them all of that. They refund my money straight away,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: which is great customer service. Well done team, And literally
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the next day these jeans rock up back at my house,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: returned to sender. Oh so I've ended up with the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: jeans back and they've refunded me.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, oh that's not well the jeans fit.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: No, well they might do. They're a bit big, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: they're really good. I ordered them because they're super long. Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: so I will do something with them. But I've had
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: a big wing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I'm impressed, Catherine that you are buying things online, because
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: if I lived in the city, I wouldn't bother. When
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: I moved up to the country, I thought, oh, well,
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I'll just shop for clothes online now, but I can
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: never get it right and they turn up and they're
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: not what I wanted, and then it's half an hour
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: to drive into the town, into town to the post office.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: And as you two know, when we first did the
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: first couple of podcasts and we started that I dribble,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: there was at a six month period where there was
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: an ASOS bag the same.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Time in the office, the same one.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I just couldn't get my ship together to sort of
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: get the refund done and send it back.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: So as a result, I don't show up online anymore.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: And because I don't really shop when I'm in the
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: city for meetings or work or anything, I've stayed by clothes,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: so eventually I'll be sitting here naked because everything's fallen apart.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: But it isn't an excellent money saving device. The other
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: online shop that I really struggle with. So my sister
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: does a lot of online grocery shopping. Oh yeah, And
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it's because I'm a control freak,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: but I've tried it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Whenever you say next it is because you're a comference.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Because I like control freak.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: So I tried it, and you know, like some things
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: get swapped out because I never get the press around
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: to say if the brand's not there, don't don't swap
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: it for something else, And so stuff gets swapped out
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, no, that is not even close to
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: what I wanted. And then if it doesn't get swapped out,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: then I'm not there to choose something that's similar that
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: I like.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: So I did it a couple of times. I'm like, nah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: this again. I saw.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: I did drive half an hour into town to get
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: the three things that didn't turn up, So I think
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: just online shopping. I'm too old, I'm too cranky, I'm
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: too much of a control free Thank you for coming
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: to my ted talk.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I will stop the online shopping because it does.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: It draws me nuts and nothing ever fits me.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I would need to stop drinking before I can commit
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to stopping online shopping.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: That's weird. That's because it's a slippery stove. If I
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: wasn't sober, I should take my phone.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: No, you weren't wearing you. So I had a topic
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about a couple of weeks ago,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but I thought, no, Catherine won't understand this topic because
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you're not a Harry Potter person. Since you've mentioned once,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bring this up. So I was watching
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: when we were at the Swifts a couple of weeks ago,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and looking at the super shot. So in Quidditch, which
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is the game they play in Harry Potter on the Brooms,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: there's a thing called the golden Snitch, and if someone
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: catches the golden snitch during the game, this bloody thing
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: goes pinging around very aggressively. I must say, it's this
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: flying gold ball. But if someone catches it, it's immediately
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty points and the other team wins.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And lewis proposing that Netball consider some type of golden
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: snitch rule for super netball that it's like, what is
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one thing that you could do in the last minute
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of the game that could turn it over? And I thought,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think netball fans would love it, but it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: fun to think about what it could be and maybe
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: just for like one round or one match have that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: have have it like a charity match or something with
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a golden snitch sold one end of the court to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the other and it's a five pointer or something, if
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: But it's got to be super hard. Yeah, well, I'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: picturing a variety kid with chopsticks and a flight kind
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: of thing.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's quite a departure from netball.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: I feel like I do feel like when JK. Rowling
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: wrote Harry Potter and wrote the quidditch stuff she did,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I reckon she had netball in mind because she's quite
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: evidently a mash up of soccer and netball, right, because
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: you're scoring the goals.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Have you been drinking champagne out of a paper company?
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: No? No, it's but like gs golden snitch GS.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: You know there's a bit of that action. There's there's
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: bludges could also be gs.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, it could be.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It depends on the bluing, is it isn't the bludging?
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: So that's yeah, yeah right, So I just feel like
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: there's a little bit of Nettie in there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I like it though. I like that idea.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine like winning by a substantial margin and
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: then and then just has a golden snitch just comes
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: in and everything's taken away. I do like it, though
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I wonder what it could be.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It's a very unsatisfying way to lose a game, though,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I think that the gold is problematic as.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: There was a few on the weekend.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, but you know it's in their own hands
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: for the whole game, isn't it. We will be talking
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a lot about that, Liz. Yes, you've had a tough week.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I have had a tough week, so last week might
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: be full dog Merlow we live on a farm. We
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: have a long driveway.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: There's a bit of traffic for people working here and
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: doing things. Merlow was a We got him of another
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: family who were on a farm and then moved into town.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: And he was beautiful and he was out forever dog. Unfortunately,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: he had a predilection for chasing cars and he used
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: to like, not just chase them, but run in front
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: of them to try and stop them driving.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Out the driveway.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: We had worked for two years with him to try
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: and not get him to do that, and he was
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: okay with our cars, but a car that he was
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: less for me with drove down the driveway in the
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: dark recently, and unfortunately Merlow was run over and killed.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: So it sounds really harsh to say it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: If I had had to say this five days ago,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: then this is when I would burst into tears. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: I'm still I'm still a bit sort of whenever I
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: talk about it. It's just really quite emotional. But it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: been quite a big week for our family, and it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: probably the first experience of grief for City Austin that
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: he would be really cognizant of, you know, and the
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: kids were particularly close to the dog. So it's been
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: a bit of a shit week actually the last five days.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I'd happened at the end of last week. So yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I know I did. I said to you
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: guys this morning, I've came prepared with nothing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I've got nothing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I've got nothing because I'm just so sad and I
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: think when you live on a farm, you're sort of
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: used to the circle, like the cycle of life, right,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: so you know, we we do send animals off to
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: the avatoir, and we're sort of used to it, but
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: it's different when it's your pet. So it's just.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Been really sad, Like there's like a Merlow shaped hole.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it's just and you know, he was such
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: a perfect dog.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: He is so beautiful, so beautiful.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and the grief is real, you know, losing
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a pet is, you know, And I've been a cat
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: owner more than a dog owner, and I know a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't like cats, and I get that,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but you know, when my cats died, I was really devastated.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's like the personal relationship that a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: family or a household has with an animal. It can't
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: really be understood, but it's very real and it's very sad.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, thank you.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: And you know, sometimes I get home late at night
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: everyone from meetings or whatever, and everyone had been in
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: bed sept Melow, you'd be waiting for me, so yeah, see,
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm sorry to bring such a bummer story to
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: what is generally very happy podcast.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But I had lots of people deal with this and
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: it's just so sad when it happens.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you guys, I know it's very soon after to
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: be asking the question, but will you get another dog?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: We actually need another dog, right because like my gut
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: feeling was, I can't get another dog. I just can't
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: fall in love with another dog. But we've got chickens.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I've got twenty bloody twenty five chickens or twenty seven chickens,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: and we have we have gotten two wedge tard eagles
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: who we bloody love, but they like the chicken for lunch,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: you know, And whenever we don't have a dog, we
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: lose chicks. So I much prefer for the wage tared
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: eagles to concentrate on the rabbits that are in the paddock.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: So we probably need a dog just to And there's
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: also wild dogs around here and foxes, so having the
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: dog just helps to protect the chickens.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: But oh, look, and I don't really want.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: To go and get a puppy because I just don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: have the patience to do that again. So but I
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: think what we'll do is we'll just wait to see.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: You know, people, lots of people get dogs, and it
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: just doesn't quite work out for reasons. So I'm sure
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: there'll be a dog out there waiting for to.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Come and live with us and to be our friends,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: as if.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't want to be on your farm.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, it's a great life as long as they
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: don't chase cars.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I will, thanks, I will lighten the mood
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and give you a moment to catch your breath though,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and say we've just started watching it on a bit
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: late to the peace com from accounts, have you guys
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: a lotus? Which, of course the whole the inciting incident
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: is a dog getting hit by the door, and for
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: anyone who's worried, the dogs of ives. But yeah, so
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it's it that it's I don't know, it's just a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: cheerier segue.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: And it's a segway into our great date that we had.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Oh it is too but hanging up to blow my nose.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Sorry, okay, sorry, sorry, Alex. Will we'll take a pause now, Liz,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that was really good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Thank you? Oh yes, you know you don't. Grown ups
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: aren't meant to cry.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Well yeah they are.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. Just gives me a headache, and.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: It is, it's so draining isn't it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: It takes me days to recover from a big cry,
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: like days not you know, your little kids cry and
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: then they're over it, bouncing back up.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe, Like I wonder if that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: You know, as you get older, you lose your cartilage,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: so if you go for a run, it takes your
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: days to get over it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Words, kids can run the days.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: That's but like I wonder if there's like a raw
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: oh no, whereas when you're a kid, you can cry
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: and then it's done. Whereas you know, when I cry,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: it's like, oh my god, I still feel My last
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: big cry was sort of Saturday. What's to day Monday?
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I'm still I'm two days post cry and I feel
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: like I still need to go and have an ice bath.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a hangover, isn't it? Like it really
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: does physically kind of it does?
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: It feels like, Yeah, it feels like I've been drinking
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: without the fun of the night before, well the morning before.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Depending if your cat's.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Run on a playing she's back now, well here she is. Yes,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So we were just you were going to tell everyone
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: about our date on Thursday, which was very fun.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, So we went to see The Devil Wears Prada too,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: and it was in the beautiful old theaters like the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: original Old theater was georgeous. Yeah, but he is the
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: love interest. Patrick Brammle has a love interest. That was
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: a weird.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a kind of strange relationship. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I want to say I loved the movie. It was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: exactly what it said on the box. It gave me
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: exactly what I wanted. It didn't change my life in
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: any way. It hasn't made me smarter. It was just
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: it was two hours of pure entertainment. It was exactly
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: what I wanted it to be. But I thought it
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was interesting in their whole romance. There was nothing physical
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: shame between them except the kiss at the yes. Yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: so yeah, we'll No, we haven't ruined anything for anyone
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: because it's called quite predictable, but it's really good. I
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: thought it was nice to see Patrick Brammle there playing
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: an Australian in an America, so I wasn't trying to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: do an American accent or whatever. But No Dribble recommends
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: take yourself out and see The Devil Wears prior to too,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes things can just be fun and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: light and entertaining and that is worthwhile, and especially if
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you've had a rough.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Week and a question your take on a little friend
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: of yours who sits next to you with a boisonberry
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: choc top, who eats all of the chocolate off and
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: then dips the ice cream into the popcorn. Wow, yeah,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: your nae.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: It's not something that I would do.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But I've never seen it before.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, but I have become aware in the last week
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: of people who mix ice cream and popcorn because I
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: like the sweetness of the ice cream and the saltiness
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: of the popcorn.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not knocking you. I've just never seen it before
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: and I wanted to get your take on it, so
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I do need. I will try it next time.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. Don't eat all the chocolate off first,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: just enough to get the ice cream so you can
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: because the chocolate and the ice cream and the salty
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: popcorn is very good. So yeah, I knew you were
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: judging me.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: No, totally. It's all about judgment, and Takatherine gets he exercise.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Can we just go back to the devil as prior
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: of too though?
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: If you haven't already, go and have a look at
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Harriet Dyer, who is Patrick Brammel's wife, and have a
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: look at her Instagram page. She's put together the funniest
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: clip of herself watching her husband and Ann Hathaway, you know,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: be together and hung and it's just it's so funny.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I just had a look.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Now it's got three point four million views. A lot
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: of dribblers may have already seen it, but it is
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: absolutely hilarious.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it, and I just thought that that
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: seems like who she is, right, you know. It seemed
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: very authentic and reacting to your seeing your husband kiss
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Times most Beautiful Woman of the Year on screen.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: The other thing you have to do is google them
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: doing the Bafter's Award presentation. The two of them did
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: it together because Colin from Accounts is so big and
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: is it American BAFTA, British? Sorry, what did I say?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Originally American?
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Anyway, so o, my brain's not working. It wasn't the Baftis,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I'm sure of it. They were over in the UK
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: because Colin from Accounts is so big over there, so
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: they got to present this award and they stuffed. It's
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: the funniest thing, though. You got to go and watch it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Everyone in the crowd was losing it just with their traditional.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: So so I watched Colin from Accounts on my way.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I binched it all the way to South Africa when
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: I went to the jungle for Celebrity and then obviously
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: got out of the jungle, raved to Matthew and made
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: him watch it, and then we got like Celebrity got
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: nominated for a LOGI.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: So I went to the logis.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: And Patrick Brevle was on the red carpet and I
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: just walked up and went, oh my god, I love
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Colin from account so much and sated blabbery. And he
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: looked at me like I look at people when they
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: walk up to me, and I'm like, oh, okay, no,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: I know how I look at people when they start
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: talking to me and I don't know them, but they're
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: saying nice things to me.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: So I want to be engaged.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: But I'm also like, I'm going through the list of
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: do I know you have we met before?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: You know you have that hule And so he looked
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: at me like that. I was like, heyy, I've just
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: embarrassed myself. I'm going there anyway.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: He was gorgeous and really like gorgeous and graceful, but
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: I was such an.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Is that the fan girl moment you've ever had? Because
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I know you meet the lebs all the time, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: that's the first time you've been writ into something and
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: you've met the person.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Is that's funny.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I've never seen you lose your shit.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I wish I was there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: I mean I saw you and Gordy lose your ship
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: that time over and act a selfweaight Worth, which was
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: the funny thing deal I've ever seen before.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Whenever the freak from Wentworth actually scared the shit out
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: of us. We're upset. Anyway, they're doing another thing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Ray with Patricia Rabe. Is that who it was?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: I think you might be right.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Patria was lovely, but you guys were like so
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: scared that she was like, it's a character. I play character.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: That was the funniest thing that and I have never
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: really found girl. I just was in the moment and
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god. Anyway, I mean, but
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: AnyWho human just.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Like, yes, so good.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: But we did all we did almost come to blows
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: at the end of the movie. Catherine, didn't we First
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: of all, you were fidgeting in the seat. It's hard
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to find a seat that's comfortable if you're freaking.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: The olds because it's the old school theater. Is there
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: the flip up seats? And so yeah, because I'm I
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: don't know if it's because I'm longer, but you put
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: your bum in the back and it kept it was
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: flipping on me.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Is you've probably got the front part of your leg
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: up above the seat, haven't you seen?
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: It's way to wait there. I was about to get
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: snapped up by the scene the movie.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Another design fault anyway, but yeah, we got to the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: end of the movie and I thought this movie seems
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: like a classic to have some post credit scenes in it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and Catherine wouldn't stay with me.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Well, truth be told, I did. But when it got
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: to the third song of credits.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It was it was filmed in Milan and filmed in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: New York, and you know, there was a whole lot
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of yeah yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: At that point, I tapped out, if it's going to happen,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: they're not making people wait this long, are they so?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And I asked that the young woman who came into
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the usher came in to clean the cinema, and I said, oh,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: have you seen this? But it had only come out
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the night before, so she didn't know. So I still
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: don't know whether there's any post scene credits. Do you
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: know there are sometimes post scene credits on certain podcasts
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that talk about netball and talk about so much more.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Not everyone has.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: To sometimes and sometimes we forget to do it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we forget to do it. But I have had
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of dribblers talk to me and make a
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: point of letting me know that they have stayed through
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: till the bitter end to find that little bit of
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: gold that sometimes we bury at the end of the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: advertising rainbow. But speaking of talking about netball and talking
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: about so much more, this has been a whole lot
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: of so much more and not a lot of talk
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: about netble. So I think we need to take a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: little break and then come back and especially talk about
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: how more than a year ago in this podcast, I
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: said to Catherine, I think I feel about Grace White
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the way you feel about Georgie Horges, And yeah, well
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: who's proven to be right there. Anyway, Let's take quick break. Okay,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: round eight eight over half way that's really sad hell
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: over halfway through, But what an amazing round of netball.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Like two to one goal games sorry, two two goal
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: games three two goals three two gold games. Okay, so
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: the one blowout game was my game that I had
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: in Adelaide. But what was the coolest thing, So where
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: our Commons bench was all of the special seats next
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: to that were dribblers, Dribblers this whole thing. Anyway, so
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: they they stopped me and were having a chat and
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: asking me who I tipped between the mAbs and the Firebirds. Sorry,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: the mAbs and the Swifts because that was what I
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: put on our Facebook page. Anyway, we're having a chat,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, should we change our tips? Blah blah blah. Anyway,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: then we go to comms to do all our checks
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: and we've got the monitor up so we can watch
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: the game in front of the game that's something before us,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: which was that game, and it goes down to the
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: two goals. So we were watching the game, we're relaying
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: it down to the Dribblers guys, and we kept going
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: backwards and forwards, and it was so good to be
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: in that moment with them because they were all in
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: the tepe and everybody.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Was so good to They not have the app though,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: there's a great app.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: No they were keeping an eye on the app as well,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: but it was it was fun.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: That's called Netball Icon. It's really good app everyone if
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you don't have it. Yeah, yeah, that was exciting.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: So that was cool. So that was the first one.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: We had the blowout and then although I don't.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Think that blowout score necessarily reflected what an interesting and
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: competitive game it was for most of the game, I
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: still thought it was a really good a good game.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: It was. It was until it was really the last quarter.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: You're right, but they did build a cross. They didn't
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: lose a quarter. Yeah, they were very very strong the
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Tea birds and yes, and then two more two goal
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: games afterwards, amazing and in crucial moments. Yeah, right at
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the end, thing shifted.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that should.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Have been a Giants win. Should have been a Swift.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Swin oh man, poor old Giants. Hey, like it was.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I've gotten a really bad mood on Saturday night after
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: watching the Swifts because my husband's paramatter Eels supporter, I'm
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: a Brisbane Broncos supporter, were both Warritar support. It was
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: just a shit weekend for sport. My daughter lost netball
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. I did have a coffee though, but
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: so much joy in watching the game, and I like
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it better when it's not my actual team, so to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: be able to watch, I'm so proud of the Giants.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: So man, what what.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: What a game?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And not just you know, some amazing super shot performances
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: there from Matisse Leather Barrow and Sophie dwy but not
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: just them, like you know, Aeron O'Dwyer O'Dwyer up at
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the other, O'Brien Becky, pat Erin O'Brien up the other,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and her mother Janeta said, I'm sorry, Jeanette did some
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: great stuff and I mean some fabulous stuff in goal
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: defense and goalkeeping across the games. What about Jesse Grenvild,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: My god.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: So interesting. At the start of the year somebody said
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: to me, will Jesse Greenwald play for the Diamonds And
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I said, not this year, absolutely no chance. Right. That
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: was when she was sitting on the bench getting not
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: many minutes. Hello opportunity, and she has been their best
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: defensive player every game, I think quite comfortably. If she's
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: not in this Diamond squad by the thirty first of May,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: when Stacey Moreen Govic.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Announces it your hat you'll walk naked down the pitt
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Street mall.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Not necessarily, but I will do something. She should be
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: one of the first defenders picked, particularly if you look
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: at Sarah Clow. No, turn has not been in the
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: squad for a little while, but there's other defenders that
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: have been in that squad for a while that I'm
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: not having great. Is it time for a little shift
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: there and put She's got to be in the squad. Yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: not necessarily going to make the team maybe, but she
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: has to be.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: In the squad in pivot. Yesterday, Maddie Brown did her
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: team of the comps so far, a lot of internationals,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: not a lot of Australian players. When you when you
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: start to look at the likes of Latania Wilson, Shamira Stirling, Humphrey,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: who was el Ma el Maray Vanderberg, Yes, Kira Austin was.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: There, Georgie was there.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Georgie was there, Kate Maloney was there and no friend
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Williams Yes, yeah, that was Yeah. I really think that
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: jesse Grenville is putting a hand up there.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Can we just go back to the giants?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, jesse Grenville has been amazing and I do
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: love seeing a young diffriend to come through and just
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: stand up in moments, Like I reckon, there's lots lots
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: of these close games you can see players who you go, okay,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: they'll keep standing up in the future.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: And even though the Giants didn't win that game.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: I thought Amy Sliger did everything she could, Like I
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: was watching her yesterday going oh my god, that last
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: intercept that she.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Sort of run down.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: But I was looking at the Giants and I feel like,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: if they can keep that team together, they're going to
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: be a very good team in just a few years.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: If you go back to the Swifts before they won
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: their first premiership under Briany, they had a season with
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: young players where they got pumped and they started to
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: win a few games in that season where they didn't
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: make the finals, and then that set them up for
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the next year. And I reckon, if the Giants get
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: one or two scalps this year, they're young, right, so
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: they're learning and it's hard because you don't want a
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: young team to get used to getting beaten, so they'll
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: have to find something. And I was watching Nerati Stewart
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: yesterday at the end of the game. She was devo
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: that they did a win, but she was also I reckon.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: She was really pleased with the effort that she got
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: from her team, and I Reckon, I was just watching
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: that Giants team, going, oh, there's something a bit special there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: And I feel like in the next year or two,
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: we'll be saying, remember that season when they didn't win
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: a game, but it set them up.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And that's how I feel, And that's.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: How we felt about like the Swifts years ago, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: then we felt that way about the Thunderbirds before.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: They've gone into.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: This current mode of being you know, there or thereabouts
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: every year, and I feel like the Giants are probably
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: the next most likely team to go to that space.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: And it was tough. You know, they lost a lot
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of you know, wisdom last year with Joe retiring and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you know, Jane Watson came on to be one of
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the older heads on the court and then was injured
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: quite quite early. But I think they've done really well too.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: And it was interesting going into the fourth quarter when
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: they go into the huddle, maybe it was sometime a
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: in a tactical timeout when they put their hands in
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and the word that they all said was composure, And
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: so I thought that was a really interesting thing that
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that's what they are focusing on.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: And that's an experience though, isn't that Because you can
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: say composure, but you walk out onto the court in
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: the pressure, in the moment. That's an this thing. And
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: they will learn from those losses. I mean, did anyone
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: think they were going to win the game in the
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter against the Vixen's. I didn't. I thought the
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: same thing when they played the Thunderbirds. But one day
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: they will know they get themselves in that position enough,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: they will learn from those close games, what they did
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: last time, what they needed to do going forward. So
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: I one hundred percent agree with you, Liz. They're that
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: team that's brewing some bit like the Firebirds's. There's some
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: big moments brewing just under the surface.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They go into they walk into Mordoor in Adelaide Entertainment
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Center and nearly take it from the Thunderbirds. They go
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: down to John Caine Arena and nearly take it from
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the Vixens at home like it's it's And then they
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: get walloped against the Swifts last week.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: There's probably no expectation on them in those games, I
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: would so.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: That's a really interesting thing for them to be noticing
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: about themselves with freedom. It was so exciting. I loved it,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: loved it so much. The Lightning Fever game was a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: really interesting one. So what that was four goals in
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the end? I thought that was Lightning's.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I wasn't four in the end. I thought, OK, that's wrong.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah that was Yeah, that was another You didn't
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: know which way that one was going to go at
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: any stage either. And the swifts maps as well. It
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: was very exciting.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: All my tips are.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Right, did you? That's good? So I did in the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: video that I put up, and then I messed it
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: up and so I only got three. I put the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: swifts instead of the maps, even though I actually wanted
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: in my head I had tipped the maps. But such
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: an idiot, like a basic admin stuff.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've done that.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: He So I have a question for you both question
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: without notice. And this is something that came from Pivot yesterday,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: and they're saying that Kate Heffernan is the pick of
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the New Zealand players to come over here this year.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, is that because Kate Heffernan is sitting in
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the tea birds and therefore, from the very first minute
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: of supernetwul she has been able to showcase her best
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and she's had the best all around her. And yes,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: you know, is are we seeing the other key we
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: players now as the teams are starting to stabilize a
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: little bit, and I'm particularly thinking about the Firebirds and
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: they and their improvement, like I don't you know, Initially
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh, Kate Heffernon is far and away the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: best of these players, but Karen Berger's had a blinder
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: of a season too, And it's just, you know, I
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: posit that Kate Heffernan looks as good as she is,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: one because she's good, but two because she is in
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: a team that is outstanding.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Without doubt. You can't have Georgie Hawges in front of
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: you on the line el Maray Vanderberg there Shimira Stirling
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Wilson behind you, and I could play well, yeah, well
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: that's well, that was a good bellyjackle.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Just a lot of you playing Santa. There was a
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: limit to my imagination.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Listen, I could get the ball off for the first
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: and the past. That's probably the.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you actually you would probably throw the first
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: out of pass, that is correct.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can on that lineup yes.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: It is a golden lineup to be right, smack bang
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: in the midst of yeah.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's very lucky. Let me talk about the competition
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: that really matters, because I know that's what you care about.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: So we have four dribblers in equal first position on
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: our Valor Dribblers Tip and comp at the moment, and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: several of them are names that are familiar to us.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Something happened this week that has never happened in the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: history of Valor Riblers Tip in comp this year or
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: last year. But let me tell you first, who's in
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: first place on thirty six points, which is a whopping
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: thirteen points ahead of where I am. We have CJ,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: we have first borns. We have DEVO two nine two,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and off to the part, they are in equal first position.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Devo two nine two, you might remember from last week,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: was the tipper of the round and won the fifty
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: dollars Vala voucher. Devo to nine two is the tipper
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: of the round this week. Two weeks in a row,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: two weeks in a row, Devo two nine two has
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: been the tipper of the round. So the earliest most
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: accurate score, so pick the margin. Got all the games right,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: picked them pick the margin correctly and did that first.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, how would.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: It so that Errol was no use to me with
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: any of the tips about tipping. So maybe I need
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: to speak to Davo.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I feel a bit bad for Errol. I feel like
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: you're putting too much pressure on her. It's really not her.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight people got six points this week, including Daryl
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the stats Man Milton he picked the margin as well,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: so two hundred and seventy two people got five. So
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: got all picked all four games. Two hundred and sixty
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: three people dropped one. That's what That's what I've got.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: But in the Valor Dribblers, Hosts and Heroes ladder, we
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: have a new outright leader sitting in first place. Two
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: points ahead of the of the pack is Daryl the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: stats Man, who is on thirty one points. Then on
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: equal twenty nine points. The Fascinators Cox Rocks Yes and
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: your netball besting. So you and Alexa both got five
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: points this week. Fascinator got three. I'm thinking Fascinator tipped
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: with her heart and tip the swifts, although to be fair,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: that's not a tip with the heart. That one really was.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: It could have bene either way, and we saw that
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: it could have right to the last second. Gord's on
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, Killy DeVry is on twenty four, I'm on
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: twenty three, and Liz, who does not tip and just
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: gets the home teams, is sitting on sixteen, which I
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: think is really interesting that after eight rounds of games,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: that that's what the home home team scores. Guests advantage
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: is no home court advantage.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: No mind you, I've got three right this week. Yes,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: three right this week.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, got system got three right for you this week.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: So you got to score the sex.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: True.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: But something exciting that is happening, and it is happening
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: on the day that we release this episode is an
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: announcement from the Vixens. Something pretty bloody extraordinary has happened
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: down there off court, and this is about the Dribblers
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: and some other people are doing. Melbourne Vixen set new
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: benchmark with a record ten thousand members.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Holy mold, that's the state of that's every week.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so good luck buying a ticket to a Vixen's match. Yeah,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: that's just incredible. And so that accounts for more than
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the league's total membership. Base. So
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: for all of us who are members of a club,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: some of us are members of several clubs, one in
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: four of those memberships is for the Vixens.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Done.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: And this isn't just something It's not just attributable to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: their success on court. This is obviously something that's been
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: happening off court for years through a kind of sustained
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: engagement program. And also the Vixens attribute a lot of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: this success to the fact that they have a Victoria
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: First recruitment policy and that the bulk of their super
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: netballers have come through the Victorian program, but also that
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: they have really close relationships to Victorian country associations baler At, Bendigo, Geelong, Gippsland,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and so they're really trying to take their presence outside
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: of Melbourne. So congratulations Vixen's and congrat and good job
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: are dribblers and future dribblers who are supporting the game
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: that we love by taking up a membership. It's really
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: important that we do.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Can't wait to see the first netball game at the MCG. Well,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: they're outgrowing their home court by the sound of that
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: they are.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: And if Disney on us would go away. That would
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: be helpful. But I'm going to preemptively bitch and moan
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: about my ability to see the game from my seat
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: at the MCG. How far away would that be?
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: They did a ball game in America.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: You don't go there to watch in a game like that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: You go there every part of the.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: Cope, you find there's big screens and stop your wy Okay,
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: you know that I won't. I will make a commitment,
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: I stop my winging, but I will just merely pivot
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: and winge about something else.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: But yet, so another another critical round coming up. We
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: are seeing that battle for the fourth position get really hot.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: So MAVs have got it At the moment, Lightning is
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: still well and truly in this who knows what we're
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: going to see Firebirds and Swifts do. It's not it's
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: mathematically still possible for the Firebirds or the Swift to
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: take that fourth position. I think it's very difficult, but
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it is mathematically still possible. But we saw on the
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: weekend we saw Dan Ryan coach his one hundred Super
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Netball game. Congratulations, and Amy Sliger obviously had her fiftieth game,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and what a blinder she has, just a baby She's
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: just a baby, isn't she.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: All right, we will take a quick break and then
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I've got a very interesting ask the Goat. Okay, so
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: ask the goat. This is also the part of the
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: show where if any host would like to moan about something,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: we will run the Things that make You go Hm segment.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I haven't thought of anything, but at any given time,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I'm only thirty seconds away from finding something to winge about.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: But i haven't asked the goat question that has come
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: in this week, and I'm going to ask the goat
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: if she would mind if the goaler were to take
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: the lead in responding to this one. I believe the
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: goat will have some wisdom, but I'd like to hear
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: from you too, Legs. All right, let's go. So this
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: one is from from Callan, who I believe is in
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Western Australia but a loyal member. And I sent this
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: question through yesterday and I saw it and then I've
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: spent a solid hour this morning trying to find it,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you know, in Instagram messages and Facebook messages. It was email.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: He sent it through the proper channel, which is to
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: send it to at no dribble dot com dot Au.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: But anyway, this one's very topical. So hello ladies, this
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: is a question for your ask the goat. This weekend
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: we saw three games which came right down to the wire.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Each of them was decided in the final pressure cooker minutes,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: where split second decisions resulted in wayward passes, misshots, intercepted balls,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: or similar errors capitalized on by their opposition, which cemented
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the final result. For the players responsible for those eras,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: we could see the anguish. Now, I just want to
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: sidebar here a bit and say, if a team is
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: that close to winning or losing a game at that
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: point in the game, in that last sixty seconds, that's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: not one player's responsibility. That is a team responsibility. So
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I understand the players take responsibility for it very heavily themselves,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: but that's a whole of team thing anyway. So for
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the players responsible for those eras, we could see their anguish.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: As a fan, I was very emotionally invested and ranted
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and raved at my television. Good callen. That's much better
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: than doing it on social media. Even though I can't
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: catch a ball to save myself, I would not be
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: a good person to have around in the aftermath and
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: here's this question, which I think is a terrific question.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: My question is how dance or should a coach react
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: postmatch behind closed doors? Do they soothe? Do they need
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to speak hard truths? How did your coaches speak to
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: you after difficult losses? What helped and what didn't? And
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: did the expectations and coaching style change between Comwell's Bank
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Trophy games versus Diamonds and I assume their SSN games, etc.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, what did those losses teach you about winning?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Callen then says love the pod, looking forward to many
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: more episodes. I think that's a great question, Callen, and
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I guess before I send this over, Catherine to you
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: first as a shooter, because I think maybe this is
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: a moment shoot her off and bears the heaviest weight
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: with I would like to reflect on what does a
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: coach say in the ten minutes after something like that
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: compared with what the coach says seventy two hours after that,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: And what does the coach say to the individual versus
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: I think it is all so relative because if you
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: had played a bad game as a team and it
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: was a game you should have won, then there is
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: all the rights in the world for the coach to
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: be upset and to call you on that. If you
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: had played a brilliant game aka the Giants yesterday and
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: you push one of the top teams and you nearly
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: get the job done, every right to be as proud
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: as Newda Stuart was after the game and applaud them.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: But I reckon, And it also depends on the age
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: of players you're coaching. For instance, an Australian team or
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: an elite team, they know if they've had a bad
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: game and if they should have been better. I don't
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: think the coach necessarily needs to go in straight away
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: and make them feel worse. They would appreciate they already know, right.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: But if it's a younger team, again you don't want
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I don't think you want them freaked out or nervous.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: But maybe while it's fresh of mind, you talk constructively
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: about things that we could learn from that moment and
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: think about going forward for next time.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: So when you say a younger team, you're not talking
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: about sort of the Giants relative to a team with
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: that's been together. You're talking about junior edge.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: I would say more of Virginia side. But I still
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: think it's also important to talk about things while they're
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: fresh in your mind, like that last moment, what was happening,
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: or did we have other options or something, just whilst
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: it's still there. But you don't necessarily have to do
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: it in a way that's going to upset your players
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: when they already know that there was probably better ways
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: to handle stuff. That would be my take on it, Liz.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I actually think like, sometimes you get a spray,
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: like I remember getting sprays, particularly from a normal plumber
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: or someone like that, when we'd won, right because our
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: execution have been so and we hadn't had our mind
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: in the game, and even though we'd got the win,
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: she'd be upset because we hadn't played the game plan
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: and we'd fallen back into the habits she was trying
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: to get us out of. Yet, sometimes you'd lose and
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: you wouldn't get a spray because you'd executed the game
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: plan and potentially you'd played against a better team. Right,
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: So it's horses for courses. It depends on what you're
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: trying to achieve in the game. It depends on whether
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: you've executed the game plan and it hasn't been enough
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: as opposed to not executing the game plan whether you
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: want to lose, And it depends on the athlete, right,
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: and a good coach would understand their athletes. There are
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: athletes who would react better to a kick in the pats.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: I was definitely one of them.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: If you gave me a spray, I would go away
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: and ruminate on it and work myself up to such
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: a point that I would inevitably have a good game
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: the following week. And there are other athletes if you
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: gave them a spray, they would get into a hole
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: and it would struggle to dig themselves out of it.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: So coaches need to know their players and who reacts
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: best to what, and it depends. There's so much it's
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: dependent on. And like I saw in near yesterday with
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: the Giants smiling because I think she was and rightly wrapped.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: They'd gone so close, but then she we saw her
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: pull the players together and.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: There was I don't know what she said.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: I was trying to lip read, but I suspect that
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: she was saying something on the lines of just think about,
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: just think about the decisions perhaps that we made in
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: those moments, and then how we might make them differently
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: next time, but be proud of yourselves.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: And yet if the Vixens went down, die Honey would
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: have been well within our rights to team them a
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: new one. So, because there are different expectations of different teams,
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: so it really is about knowing individual players, knowing your team.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: And sometimes for an older team, it's actually not the
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: coach she does that, it's the leadership. Yeah right, So
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: sometimes it's the captain who steps in and goes we
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: actually need to take responsibility. And that was certainly often
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: the dynamic between Julie Fitzgerald and myself. So you know
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: I would sometimes yeah right, but I would take if
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: I like, if I held us Annibal, then that gave
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Duli some time and space to figure out, okay, what
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: we did next the coming week. So it depends on
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: you've seen your leadership, It depends on you know, the
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: age and the experience of your team.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: But I just.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: Feel like for young teams, and I'm constantly saying that
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: with the teams that I coach at grassroots, like you
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: can get really caught up in the result, but you
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: also just need to think about how you winning games.
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: If you're winning them easily, are you still executing your
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: game plan and you might not be happy if you
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: win by twenty and you've been lazy about it, Well,
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: that's you're not happy anyway.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I also think there's a really important window for feedback
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: because you can't dwell, you've got I think you've got
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: to address it. It doesn't have to be straight after
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: the game, but maybe in the change room, and you
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: get it before you leave the venue at the very
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: latest the next morning when you do your review. But
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: you've got to move on because then you've got to
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: think about the positive stuff. You've got to get practice
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: whatever in training. It's not something you're bringing up two
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: or three days later.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: It's not like a marriage where you bring argument constantly.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Came happened twenty years ago, remember that team I premer
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, And I guess that's that is a
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: really key message, isn't it That If you've come down
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: to a game that you could have won but it
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: didn't happen in the last minute, it's like, well, there's
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: a lot to celebrate there. We were there and we
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: were in it, and there's some stuff to learn from that.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: But let's not you know, you can't just look at
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: that in isolation of the fact that you had fifty
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: nine minutes that got you got you that close.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: And I know it's hard because athletes are invested and
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: fans are invested, but certainly in moments at the end
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: of a game where a mistake is made, similar to
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: Grace yesterday, Grace workI throwing the ball away going for
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: a two when they didn't really need one, that is
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: a pressure cooker moment. But it's, as you said, it's
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: not the only moment that they lost the ball during
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: the game. So getting around her straight away is also
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: very important so she doesn't drop a bundle and start
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: to feel negative because I'm sure there was seven eight
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: other people that made a mistake during that game.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: And she's three. You know, these are still young people.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: You know, they're like children who can go to the pub.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: You know, they're not yet. So it's it's very easy
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: to sit on the sideline and shout at the TV,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: but very difficult there. And would you shout at a
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: twenty three year old who made a mistake in front
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: of you? And if you wouldn't, maybe you need to
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: look at yourself. Thank you, Thank you, Callen. What an
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: excellent question.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: That's a great question.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really good question, and the goat and the goala
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: have had a crack at that one. I think that
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: is fantastic and thank you both. That's the beauty of
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: having a shooter and a defender here, is that the
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: yin and the yang right. Fantastic, very good.
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: It was tempting to say that in those moments when
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: when you're a.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: Of course you do.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: But I did say that.

  Speaker 1: I did.
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: No, But if you don't get an intercept, it's not
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: a big deal.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: No, I know me. The missing they do not exactly
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: just kicked in.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: We're going to take this outside into the car park
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and we're going to sort it out once and for all.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Liza's obviously on the North coast, so we can't do
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: that sorting it out. But what a great chat we've
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: had today. I did. I did say I would give
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: you the opportunity to moan about anything quickly if you
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: have the things that make you go hmmm.
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: No, but I've got an durable recommend love it, let's
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: hear it. I haven't seen ted Lasso yet, but i'd
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: imagine it's kind of similar. It's just a comedy sport
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: kind of show. It's called running point is.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: That Kate Hudson.
• 57:37

  Speaker 1: And the setup is she owns a basketball team or
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: her family as.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: Does, and she was the last one would be considered
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: to take it over, and her older brother, who goes
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: into rehab, gives her the job. And the aftermath it's great,
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: it's very funny, very good. What's it called running points?

• 58:09
  Speaker 1: we are a month away from that, which is very exciting,
• 58:12

  Speaker 1: But Erna was playing at meadow Banks Sports Networ Courts
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: for years, which was built on an old landfill, and
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: so there's subsidences everywhere. There were like if it rained,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: there were pools deep enough that you could lose an
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: under seven's player quite easily in their rolled ankles. Half
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: the courts couldn't be used because they were so dangerous.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: So they've waited a while. Their season is late in starting,
