  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: talk about netball, but we talk about so much more.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: And interestingly, when I say we talk about netball, but
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we talk about so much more, I don't mean just
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: me again, backed up by our friends Sue Gordion, because
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in fact, this week I, Caroly and Swindle have been
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: joined by the full team. So I'm sitting beside Katherine.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Got's the bands back together?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And up north we have.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Liz Alice Sun.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Huh, well, I forgot what you look like.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: I look old.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Remember you look gorgeous, you look fresh.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The beauty of aging is our eyeballs get older too,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: so it's like you look the same to me.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Han, thank you're a little pixelated in old age.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Catherine. Before we started, you were saying that I look
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: like I've had like a bit of a white sort
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of rinse put through my hair. But no, that is
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the natural. I haven't had my hair died for years.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: But do you know sometimes I do dream that I
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: go and get my hair dyed brown again, and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: wake up feeling really like, oh, I can't wait to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: have a look at it still silver.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, we need to analyze that.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I know if anyone's got any sort of ability to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: psycho analyze your dreams? Once am I wishing that I
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: was younger again? Or I wishing? Don't know what? Am
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I think? I know?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But I was trying to suffocate my ex boyfriend in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: my sleep the other night, so's something in that as well.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: How do you go.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Of all the things? Though? That's just the most horrendous
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: way to go, and it scared me that I was
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: dreaming it when I woke up.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I have this weird recurring dream. So I was married
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: before and it you know, when marriage ends, it's not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: usually because you're thrilled with the person, right, But I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: quite often have this dream that my ex husband comes
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and takes me away from my happy life. That I go, oh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that's right, I'm married to you, and then I have
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to leave my current very happy life. And it's like
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I've been married to Pete for two years, so it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so random.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Do your kids ask you about your first marriage. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: had a conversation with someone this week who their partner
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: had been married before when they were years and years
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and years ago, and I was saying that the kids
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: just they just they're not there's no curiosity about it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Whereas I think if it was me when I was
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: a kid, if my parents had been married before, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: would have asked a thousand questions like what you had
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a life before I came along.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: My kids are very curious about it. It seems a very
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: strange thing to them. They also have two big sisters
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: from Pete's first marriage, so sort of I guess that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: normalizes it a bit for them. It's like, oh, doesn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: everybody's parents have a true now. Some people get it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: right the first time. Some people, you know, have to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: take many guys at it. Some of us seem to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be getting it right on the second go. Although you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: might have to ask Pete about that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: He's not here away.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He's not here. He's an orange. But he will be
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: coming to Melbourne with me on for Friday night, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: for Saturday night is coming back to watch the rugby.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, we've had the worst week and in sport
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in this house. I have to tell you I don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: think I like sport anymore. Fortunately, I don't follow the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Sydney Swans because afel is not really my game. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: am a Brisbane Broncos fan who and they lost to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Paramatta in the last ten seconds of the game. Then
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of course the Wallabies lost in the last sixty seconds
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of the game, and then of course the Swifts lost
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in the last well, they lost in the last fifteen
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: minutes of the game. Really didn't they? But yeah, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it was not a great weekend in sport. And I'm
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just wondering if I quit.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: No, then you're not letting the lesson of sport, dude.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: The whole point is to get back up and go again.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, nice, come on.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Be better than that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I do have to say something exciting happened that I've
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: been saving up for a couple of weeks, Catherine to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: tell you is that I met a ferret named Cath.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: A ferret who's this story exciting? For god?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: It was very exciting for me. So Scott ferrets, Well,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: so my niece in Orange that they live on a property.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They've got a farm, and they got a couple of ferrets,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and they did call the ferrets Kath and Kim. But
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Kim has met an unfortunate end fairly quickly with one
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of the dogs. But yes, they have a ferret named Cat,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and they take the ferret out ferreting, and the three
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: girls sit by the entrance to the rabbit warren for
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hours and hours and wait for this thing to come
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: back out.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So he just disappears. Yeah, it should just disappears.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Goes down there. Sometimes might find a little nest of kids,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the baby rabbits and have a decent feed, and then think, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's nice and quiet down here, I'll have a snooze.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, kids in the country have a very different
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: life to my children, or to me. In fact, I.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Think I think, in lieu of the fact that Kim
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: has suffered a nasty demise, cath should be renamed to
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Liz something else.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Some good thanks.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a lovely.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It's a great story. It reminded me though, my other
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: friends bought their kids guinea pigs and gave them to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: them for Christmas, and Liz, they were up your way
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for Christmas, having Christmas with their grandparents, and the guinea
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: pigs were in a cage under the house and a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: snake got in. This is on Christmas night, so the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: kids have got the Christmas not. A snake got in
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: ate one of the guinea pigs and then was too
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: fat to get out of the cage, so the other
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: guinea pig had to spend the whole night sitting in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: there with this snake with its mate in the snake spellies.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Oh my lord, a whole mess of therapy if you're
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a person.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you go.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Kids. Not only did you get too lovely guinea pigs
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for Christmas, but for Boxing Day you get a little
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: gift of an understanding of the way the animal kingdom
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: really works.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And now a demented surviving guinea pig.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Wow, the other one survived because I think they're just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: too exhausted digesting. It's like I can't I can't do anything. Wow.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I sound like me on any given evening.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Liz, welcome back. Where have you been? Tell us everything?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Oh well, look, we a couple of things have happened
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: since I've been on. So I spent three days at
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: state Championships out at Penrith watching Division III play And
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: how'd they got fourteens? Yeah, they came second, which was
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: really exciting. They came to last year, so they came
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: second this year. So super exciting weekend from that point
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of view. And then for recovery, we flew Evylyn home
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and then stuck her in the car the next day
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: for twelve hours. So we drove twelve hours from our
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: place to Canarvan Gorge in central Queensland. And then then
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the very next day we got up and we walked
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: twenty four kilometers and everyone was broken. So and then
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I had to spend the next ten days sort of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: letting everybody recover. And then we drove up to long
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Reach and Winton and Winton is where the Age of
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Dinosaurs museums and it's where all these dinosaur bones and
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: skeletons and footprints have all been found and it's fascinating.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we had a really nice holiday. There just's
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: lots of time in the caravan, having campfires and driving
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: lots and looking at things.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So dear Marshy marshmallows on the campfire.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Marsh's s'mores, Oh dear, yeah, I love smores. Because we've
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: got friends who are Canadians. They've introduced what what's the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: biscuit that you use? Just whatever we can find an
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: oat biscuit, and then marshes, and then and then dark chocolates.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Sitting inside the marshes, you squish the dark chocolate in,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: wrap it all in foil, put it in the cold.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: But you know, we actually are having a bit of
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a family fight about the marshmallows because our kids like
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to just stick them in the fire and set them
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: alight and then oh yeah, then no, you've got to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: sort of slowly roast them so.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: They caramel around.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I like them fired up and crunchy and black and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: such level of cancer involved in all of that. But
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: oh I like them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Like that because you have no patience, Catherine.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Is this going to be the thing that brings an
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: end to No Dribble? Going to be the controversy that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: breaks us? I'm with Liz and you know one, because
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: after that, I'm like.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I've got at least five in me totally.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They're so good. That's funny. So the kids like them
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like that, or they just do it to torment you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and for fun.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I think it's possibly a bit of column and a
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: bit of columbe. I think they realize that it really
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: gets up our noses when they do that, because we
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: think it's a really poor way to cook stuff, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: it's got no it shows no patience and poor taste.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And so now they know that it annoyses that's what
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: they do that they're never going to go back to
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: cooking them properly.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Ever again, have they started having their steak well done?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Nah, that'll never be allowed.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Because then you know you're in a real battle.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That's when they get sent to Arnie Kath in Sydney forever.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: That's when they get sent to boarding school.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, Liz, when you went to Canarvin Gorge.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So I went to primary school in Brisbane. Our year
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: seven camp, which then was the last year of primary school,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was to go to Canarvin Gorge for a week. So
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I went to McGregor State School right in the center
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of Brisbane there or I don't know, a Brisbane suburb.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: But they put us on a bus for twelve hours
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and then we had seven days under canvas as our
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: school camp with Goanna's going Overywhere's make sure you zip
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: up your ten kids? Now? My daughter is going on
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a school camp for two nights to Canberra. This is
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the year six camp, so their final year of primary
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: school two nights to canvas, staying in a hotel. It's like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: come on, that's not camsoft. But would you take kids
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: on a bus for twelve hours if you had a choice?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: No, not without some level of zat axe or something.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: For everyone. We're all going to take our medications myself.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But sure, if you want to drunk the kids, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: think that's frowned upon you did.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But they do that right, So they do that up
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: here to get the kids to the to Canberra for
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: their Stage three excursion. Like we're twelve hours from camera
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and they stick them on a bus and off they go,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and they go overnight with the kids.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: They would to love it, though, wouldn't they.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: The kids they love the trip down, the trip back
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: they hate. I think that the teachers are over it
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: as well. But that's you know, that's just how it goes.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: But I reckon a week long camp at Canavan Gorge
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: would be fantastic. It's so beautiful.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It was wonderful. I loved it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: So when's the next trip, Elizabeth. You've got lots of
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: netty coming up obviously GF this weekend and then you're
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: probably on deck for internationals and things. But you have
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: another little camping getaway.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: We're booked to go to Tazzi in January, so we're
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: going to take the caravan and the car on the
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Spirit of Tasmania and drive around Tazzy for a month.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So dribblers, any hot tips would be greatly accepted. Thank you.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I've got a map of Tazzy, but I'm not
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: going to say you.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: That that's so eighties of you.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see whether anyone thinks we need
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to edit that out.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And I constantly tell Harper that I stuff up at
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: work because I think it's good for them to know
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that it's okay to make mistakes, don't stress about being
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: perfect all the time. So every time I stuff up,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, buddy, guess what I did on Telly
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: today or whatever. Anyway, I had the best worst stuff
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: up yesterday, right at the very end of the game.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: So we've got pivot the postgame show after the game,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and it goes for nearly an hour, and the very
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: last thing that I have to do when I'm hosting
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: is just point to the Grand Final and you know
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the time and where it's going to be and all
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. I said the completely wrong time
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: by five hours. It wasn't half an hour wrong. It
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: was I told everybody it was a one o'clock start
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: game at two and we get off air and it
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: was a great finish. It felt good, and we get
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: off and one of our producers is like, where'd you
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: get the one o'clock from? I said, I saw it somewhere. Yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the game's sixth we start at six thirty.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Catherine, I'm like.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, of all the things and stuff, all the.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Things I know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So I picked up rup. Yes, so I was like, oh, buddy,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you know how I tell you I make mistakes quite often.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I had the best one ever. And she's like, oh
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: my god, mom, that's really bad.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Check your tickets everyone.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: So in light of that, I'd like to make amends
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the game. Everyone is at six point thirty on air,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: seven point thirty, start first center pass. Okay, I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I'm off the hook now, good work, Okay, thank.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: You, ripping game. No, Catherine, can we talk about the game?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Great game. I mean, my little swift heart hurt. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I was also just so taken by Samoe mcinness at
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: three quarter time and the message she gave to her
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: team and the way they responded like that's unbelievable. That
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: is just you make a documentary about that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Tell me about that. Because I was in the stadium
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: two gens in, so I didn't hear what Samone McKennis said.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, so she pulled the team in just before the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: end of three quarter time and the first thing she
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: said to them, I think Catherine, was we can do
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: anything in this quarter YEP. Basically said to the defenders
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: have a crack, said to the shooters, let the ball go,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: just be a little bit disciplined, but just get out
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: there and have fun and you can do anything. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: it was just like they all went, oh.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, we can. It was the best. It actually made
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: me a bit edgy to want to play because she's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: like gave them license to do whatever they wanted in
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the last quarter. It was but she was emotional in
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the moment, so I think in that moment it was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: like she was staring down the barrel of the last
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of her career, because you know, she's announced
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: her retirement from the Victens of stepping down as a
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: head coach at the end of the season, so that's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: what it felt like. It felt like, this is my
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: last message. This will be my last message to these girls.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I want them to enjoy this fifteen minute. I don't
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: genuinely think she thought they could win it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I did ask her at the end of the game
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and she said she did. But the way it came
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: across with the emotion and she had tears in her eyes.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Was that she must have thought this could be my
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: last moment to address this side in a game. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: then you're right, they just flicked it around. But what
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I love is she said, we have nothing to lose
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: here except for throwing our best selves at the contest.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: How good's that? And then they just all went out
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: there and went, yep, let's do it. They missed one shot,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: they had one hundred percent center pass to goal rate
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and one hundred percent gain to goal rate and no turnovers. Wow,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: in the last fifteen minutes. It was so clean and
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: that's how they did it. Crazy.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Problem for Somoni is what's she going to say next week?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well yeah, because it's important to remember too, this
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: team was down and out in about round six, wasn't it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Round six? Round seven? It's like, oh, well that's out,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that's us done for the season. So it's a lovely
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: fairy tale. I just think it's wonderful. I would also
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: like to say, how good were the Swift turning that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: around in that week? And I'm just I hope they
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: feel great about themselves because they did a sensational job.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Wish would have gone a different way, and I think
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: they were just outstrategized in the last sixty seconds, particularly
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: where the Vixen's just held onto that ball and it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: like we're going to get it and we're not going
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to give them time to get one.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Day even that, that was the most incredible game awareness, yes,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: that I've seen, because Kira Austin started playing it around them.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, what is she doing. That's like, you're
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: even you still have to score, but she was just
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: trying to milk it as much as possible so they
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: didn't have the pressure of a two point shot, so
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: they could have just got enough time off the clock
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to get the one easily and then Swift's no time.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I mean they did they because they've got a wiki.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: You can't even give them four seconds, which I think
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: was left on the clock at the time. But just
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: that was incredible. Like Kira Austin was out of her
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: skin yesterday, as was Kate Maloney.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Bloody hell.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: She had a good game. But yeah, to be able
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to do it again next week will be a very
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: big challenge because they've lost both games to the Fever
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this season, one by ten. One by eleven. But the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: good thing for them is they only played them in
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: round fourteen, so it's still kind of fresh in their mind,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I think is helpful.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: But going home finally correct.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: With the super shot like ten or eleven's nothing. We
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: saw that yesterday in that last quarter like in times
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: gone by, eleven was enough to win the game, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: two or three super shots and the game suddenly in play.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: He just felt that happening. I've got to say, when
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the Vixens were playing it around in that last minute,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: it was so clever. But it's so risky, isn't it.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Like every pass is an opportunity for someone to get
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the ball right, every pass is an opportunity for a contest.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: But they were so clever with it, and they what
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: they did really well. It wasn't just like a one out.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Every pass had two moves, right, so the defenders there
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't just one player they could converge on. So they
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: did it so brilliantly, and Sophie Garbin just kept Sarah
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Cloud busy in the circle that whole time, just kept
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: on moving. It was a great sort of whole frontline
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: performance in that last sixty seconds to do it and
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: The thing is, that's been a very swift thing to
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: do over the years, watching them playing tight games. That's
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: what they do really well, and they just had it
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: done to them yesterday. I guess that's you know, imitation
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: is the sincerest form of flattery. It was just terrific.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: You're so right, Catherine. It's just such good game awareness
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and knowing exactly how much time is left, exactly what
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you need to do, and having everyone on the same page.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: And you don't get that by accident. They must have
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: spoken about that. This is a plan. This is what
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: happens if there's this much to go, if there's that
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: much to go. You don't get that just by one
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: person having a good idea with a minute remaining. You actually,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: you know that because that's your plan.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Five of their last seven games they've won by three
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: or less, which I mean going into a grand final
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: is so good to know you can do.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Is it? And to come from behind? Yeah, and yeah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that'll be interesting, won't it, Because you know, Fever have
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: had a relatively easy walk into the Grand final, So,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean they look amazing, but you know, the Vixen's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: come in absolutely battle hardened, don't they. It's like they have.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: They've really proven to themselves that they can do amazing things.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So and they're at home, and.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I think, regardless of the result next week, they'll be
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: so proud of that. You got to be right. They
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: fought through two tough games, a two point win over
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the Thunderbirds and then at one point win over the Swiss.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Can you believe that's the fourth preliminary final in a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: row decided by one point?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: How crazy, isn't it?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: That's amazing, isn't it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: The Fever lost two in a row by a point,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: didn't they?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Was it in a row? I can't remember? But the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Vixens were in two of those.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nuts.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Look, I would hope that they feel good about it,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: but I suspect a lot of them will be going
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: back to a Grand Final that they didn't get the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: result they wanted last year. So it's like, I don't know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I just I'm really looking forward to next week's game.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I hope if those two teams play the way we've
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: seen them both play in the last couple of weeks,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a hell of a game of netball.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. What do we know about Hannah Monday.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So someone was asking in the Facebook group. They said
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: they saw Hannah Monday jumping up and down beside the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: behind the bench and like, does that mean, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: is the foot okay? Could she be back?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: That'd be great? Well it was only I mean, it
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: wasn't sixty minutes and jumping up and down? Was it?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit. I can't. Like. We'd love
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: to think so. I don't think so, though, because when
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: they were talking about it when it happened at the time,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: they weren't making out that she was going to be
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: back this season. We'll see, but lucky the Swifts didn't
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: win through though, because Paige Hadley was hobbling right throughout
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that game. So what a massive effort for her just
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to even get out there for that and push through,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: obviously in pain. What did the week look like if
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: she had to then probably not train in the lead
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: up to the Grand Final, or might have been pumped
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: full of needles or who knows to get her through
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that last sixty minute. So God, what a trooper just
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: to even perform for the sixty minutes that she did
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: on the weekend.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: And I will say fans who didn't go out there yesterday.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Like I can understand, we haven't had a win at
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: home in ages. It's been a bit deflating to keep
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: going out. But I'm so glad I was there for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that game yesterday. It was fantastic. There is nothing like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: being in the room. It's really well worth going to Katherine. Honestly,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you're so biased towards the Swift all of your commentary apparently,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And can I just say before you accuse Katherine of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: commentary bias, and Kath has been accused of commentary bias
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: for every single team, so has Sue. But Catherine, did
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you finish your career with a premiership win with.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: The vis I did? I did, And I think people
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know if people get confused with bias being
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I want a good game, so ultimately I'm cheering for
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: whoever's not winning at the time. It doesn't matter who
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it is. But we in commentary don't want to blow out.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: We want to close game.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But also I just laughed that I think people will
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: forget my exit from the Swifts was not pretty at
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: all at all.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I also reckon that accusing you of bias really is
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: like accusing you of having no integrity, Like you go
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: into commentary to do a good job, but at the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: end of the day, it's your professional good name that
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: you put on the line every time you were sitting
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: in front of a microphone and do your analysis and
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: do your work. It's I used to get it as well.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: And I remember once for the twenty fifteen World Cup,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: we were the host broadcasters, so and I commentated the
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: final with Jenny Jenny Woods. Jenny Woods right, and I commentated.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It's not frettwell now.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Sorry, he's counting my relation. That would be funny, wouldn't it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: And I was really working hard to be bias. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: then this person this is back when I was on
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Twitter before it turned into a sesspool and I deleted
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: my account. But this woman from New Zealand really started
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: having a crack at me on socials. And after the
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: game I went back to and I said, it's not
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: and she was having a crack at me for not
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: cheering for the Ferns. If you're going to be commentating
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: into New Zealand, you really need to give the Ferns
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: more love because everyone's supporting them. And I went back
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to and I said, God, like that broadcast was going
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: to Australia and New Zealand. It's actually not my job,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: was commentated to cheer for the fans, and she couldn't
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: see it. Eventually, I just abandoned the conversation. Obviously she
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: was really upset because New Zealand lost and whatever. But
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: nobody turns up to work thinking today, I'm going to
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: impugne my integrity by being biased, or I'm going to
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: impure my integrity by not doing a good job. Like
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: that's particularly work in such a public facing role. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I see that stuff written about you, Catherine or about Gordie,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Whereas I sit there and I think you're both remarkable.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: How I think you're really impartial, And I've got to say,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: just also a side note, I thought Joe Harten was
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a great addition to commentary yesterday.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, god, she's got some great insights, doesn't she.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really good insights and so and what Fox have
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: done really well this year is included current players. So
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: you start to see their personalities and I think they've
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: all done a really good job and turned up and
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: like not be biased, just tell people what they know
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: about the game. So I've got to say, if you're
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: going to be a keyboard warrior and get online and
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: win about the commentating commentators being biased, Maybe take a
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: big deep breath and thank you for coming to my
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: ted talk.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I got a very lengthy message from someone last week
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that was it was horrendous to the point I read
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: it and I laughed and I reported and deleted and blocked.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I was just like, I cannot this person telling me
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that I just need to step aside and let somebody
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: else do it now. Give Yeah, that's delightful, Thank you.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I think your tops Coxie.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good response.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Can we do a bit of a preview of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Grand Final, Catherine, please? What will the difference in the
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: teams be?
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: They wear different colored dresses?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good starting well.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I just thought i'd add my contribution with my expertise
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: quite early in the conversations. Yeah, thank you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like playing the Fever is hard because in
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: regular time I think they will beat you because you
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: can't stop Janille like she's shown that. I think you can.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: You can stick with them and you can stay close.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But I feel like, I don't know. I feel like,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: if you've got a decent super shot shooter in your game,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: in your team. You should attack it early, not wait
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: till potentially down. But like in the in the first
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: quarter and the first like Power five have a crack
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: at some of them, it's hard to compete with them
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: if you let them just chip away and build on
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: you knowing how quickly they can score and how and
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: strong that attack line is. And I say that because
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: of the two results the Vixens have had on them
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: as well, like being double digits, And I wonder if
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: they'll go into it with a change of mindset on
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: how they attack the game.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: That's interesting. We don't really see teams attack the super
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: shot unless say until they need to, until they behind correct.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is that a good thing? Is it a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: bad thing? Is that just it's a necessary thing. Why
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: can you not if you've got a strong shooter, their
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: start to go for them early. So I don't know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I just I just think there's there's also a great
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: difference in the depth in the two teams. Dan Ryan
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: will use his whole ten and he's got so much
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: depth and so much flexibility there that he'll change up
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: when he needs to. Samoe mckinness has proven that she
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: does not go to the bench and whilst that may
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: be a strength at the starting seven is working because
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: it's had heaps of time to gel. If it's not working,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: what do they do? So they put Lily Graham on
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday only for a little while. She sunk two super shots,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: which was also when she was there, But they and
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: they also actually did daboo Tara Watson, which was amazing
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: debooing in that game you're up against the Swifts in
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the prelium final Welcome to super neple my God. But
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: she was good. She came on for a little bit
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and did something. But that's not typically what you see.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I feel like that could also
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: be an issue for the Vixen's.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Carrie
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Wills having made a mistake in the last Firebirds game
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in debuting that girl. So if if the Vixens had
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: lost yesterday, would it have been a mistake to bring
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Tara Watson on?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: No, because it was in the middle of the game, yep, okay,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't right at the very end when it
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: was just extra pressure.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And that was.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Terrible, isn't it? Sorry, young woman?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think, Elizabeth? Who if you had
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to just put your money on someone, Now, who would
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it be.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I don't mean to pile pressure on it, but Kira Austin,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I think you're right around the super shot. I think
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about that, about attacking the supershot really
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: early and putting pressure on that way so you're not
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: trying to do it at the end. I also think
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: that everyone was so impressed by the Fevers performance over
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: the Swifts, and there was a lot of focus on
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: just how good Janille follon Embard played and just how
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: fit she looks and how amazing she's come back this season.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: But I reckon what was really struck me about that
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: match how good the Fever were all the way down
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the court and they're attacking. Rhythm really started from their
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: defenders and everyone was streaming down court, and the Swifts
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: didn't do anywhere near enough to bottle them up. And
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder if Kira Austin's such a great defensive player.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I think you guys talked yesterday and commentary cass about
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: the fact that she's got eight or nine intercepts to
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: her name this year. You know, very much like Sharal
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: McMahon was when she played in that goal attack position.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: She was such a defensive threat, and I think Kira
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: is a real defensive threat, and I think her Kate
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Maloney is a great defensive center. They've just got to
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: make sure that whoever's playing at wing attack really puts
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: the pressure on and Sophie Garbin as well. I think
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: if you can bottle Fever up in their defensive line
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: and upset their rhythm, then you might just put out
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: that attacking line. And it can't come down to hoping
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: that Rudy Ellis or whoever's a goalkeeper can get up
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: and get the ball, because there's not a player in
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: this league who can do that. One who can win
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: that contest one on one. The work has to be
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: done from out. Make Fever start to throw in that
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: longer ball and then your goalkeeper is going to have
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: a chance to get up. You saw, yes, say that
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Rudy Ellis was able to win those one on ones
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: against Graysnweki when the ball was thrown from up near
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: the transverse line. But that's a heck of a lot
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: of work for the front line in the mid court
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: to do. Having said that, it's your last sixty minutes,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: it's the last sixty minutes of your coach's coaching career,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: So why not just throw everything at it? But I
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: think you know, it feels like the way we're talking
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: is that for Vixen's they've got to go out and
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: figure out a way to win it because Fever are
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: really sitting quite pretty at the moment. They've had a
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: really great run in. They were unbelievable in that semi
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: and now you've got to have a way to go
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: at it and disrupt their rhythm. So it's going to
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: be really interesting, isn't it. I don't know. I feel
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: like it's Fevers to lose. But the way that the
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Vixens have finished the season and have come in hot
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to this Grand Final, I reckon it's going to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a closer game than a lot of people have thinking.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, me too. Well, we can only hope that, can't
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: we because it's a Grand Final. But you're right about
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: that West Coast Fever performance. Because how they do a
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: net points team of the Week, every player was a
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: West Coast player, so it's not just a Neil, it's everybody.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody was doing their job that in that game. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: think it was only here Austin was the only Vixen
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: from that weekend that was in there in the Team
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: of the week. Otherwise it was all green Wow.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be a huge home Crown of
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Vartage for Vixens. I suspect the Grand Final will sell
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: out and it'll be a lot of people tuning for
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the vix Rod.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Laverina exciting fourteen thousand, I think, isn't it?
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Whoa and everybody? Game time? Is it seven thirty with
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the broadcast studying six because it was a two game.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: The great thing about seeing the Vixens do well is
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it bodes well for the Diamonds, doesn't it. It's just
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: when they're doing well, it's like there's so many of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: them are who are integral parts of our Diamonds team?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Can I talk about that? Then it's not the Diamonds.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: But it just made me think of it when you
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: mentioned the country. So New Zealand eligibility rules interesting have
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: changed now. I find this fascinating. We talked about it yesterday.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a little nervous as to what this now means
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: for Aussie homegrown talent and if there's going to be
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: room for them. But Bianca was saying on Pivot last
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: night that the understanding on players being able to come
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: and play in Australia in terms of the New Zealand
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: players is that they have to seek permission. They've got
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to sit down and have the conversation with Neble New
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Zealand or no Intel Council of Elders well, basically to
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: see if it's a good decision in their career or not,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: which I think is good. So, I mean our immediate
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: thought was I think everybody thought it was just going
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: to be a free for all, were going to lose
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: all our Aussie talent. But it sounds like there's some
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: structures in place in but I was wondering if it
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: may at some stage need to bring back a limit
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: on imports, Liz, like we used to have back in
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: So when you say a limit on imports, that it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: like each team can have a maximum of three international plays.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Back in A and Z, I think it was start.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: So when we were playing New Zealand, we were doing
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: across the transtasment, we had a limit of two imports
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: per team and if it is three, maybe it's three
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: that aren't in the same position. Just to make sure
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: that you are you know, you're balancing your team out
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and you're giving plenty of opportunity to local players. But
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Biancher Chatfill made a very good point too, in that
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: your reserves competition just needs to be stronger and it's
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: got to offer more opportunities for those players and pathways
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: for those players to be able to get there.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Man, it's a hard one, right, isn't it, Because if
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: you want to really go hard and say that it's
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the best league in the world, you've got to you
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: got to have unlimited, But then you do have to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: invest in your next level down. So these are all
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: the things that we're currently thinking about and grappling with
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: as we think about what the next broadcast deal will
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: look like, what the next iteration of super Netball will
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: look like. They're all tough decisions that have to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: made and to weigh it all up. You know, one
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: of the things about Super Netball since its inception with
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: unlimited imports is that we've seen the rest of the
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: world improve. Yeah, which is fantastic because I think international
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: netball is really exciting when it's not just Australia and
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: New Zealand going to be in the final. So there's
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: a couple of things. There's a lot of things to
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: sort of be tacking into a can and it really
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: just becomes a balancing act. You know, what do you want,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: what are your long term goals, what's your strategy? How
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: are you going to achieve it? And that's just one
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: of the things you can think about. What lever do
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: you pull in that regard if any.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Great for New Zealand netball though, and good on grace Wiki.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, this whole conversation has happened because she was
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the one that steps outside of comfort zone, makes a
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: big decision to go and play, risks the chance of
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: not playing for her country again. But that's where it's
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: all come from.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yesterday she was really bringing the energy. Every time there
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: was a tactical time out, she was running back high energy,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: talking to the team, bringing it and she's obviously been
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to some dark places in the last week and it
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: was just it was just great to see. It's just
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it's very exciting.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And not forgetting she's twenty three, twenty three, Like we
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: just we think she's thirty five the way she plays,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: but she can you imagine the future she's gone. If
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: he's already been playing that. Well, you wonder how much
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: she's going over and over and over that decision to
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: pass off Helen at the last bit of the game, though,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: don't you, because it ultimately meant that Helen had to
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: rush a shot when Grace probably could have set and
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: had a good one. But I mean, god, we've all
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: been there for out the man of mistakes. I've made
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: those pressure cooker moments.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And that's just about game awareness, right, which
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: comes often with maturity.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Correct, But think about the swifts for the future, my god.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Like briani Akle said last week, that winning games is great,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and the winning of the eight in the row was
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: fantastic the first round of the season, but you don't
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: learn much, she said, the second half of the season.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: What they've learned is an unbelievable amount about themselves, about
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the way they play, about what they need to improve on.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: So you think about all that knowledge now going into
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: next season. If they can keep the majority of that team,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: they're going to be formidable, phenomenal.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: But that's the exciting thing. We've got the Grand Final
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: this Saturday, but as of Monday off, let's start contracting players.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And that's a really fun time with you two.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Well, because they've already been talking to their own team,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: their own clubs. Obviously, there's still not been a whole
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: heap of announcements, which I'll find interesting.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: So I feel like price is a big one, isn't it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: That's a bit that's big. I mean, it's not really
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that surprising, but it's big news. Hannah Petties retire. Yeah,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is that surprise surprising to me?
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Well, she's been around a long time, she's been in
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the club for ten years.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I was surprised because I think everyone all these players
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: are like twenty two and then still.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well they are compared to us twenty two.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: But I reckon there'll be a free for all and
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: there'll be just a flow of announcement coming very soon,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: probably after the Grand Final. People might be waiting. But
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: what I find interesting is there's a lot of head
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: coaches that haven't been announced yet. Who's signing on to
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: a club when they don't know who the head coach is.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I'd be game enough to do
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: that unless the dollar was fibulous. But Tracy Neville Mavericks
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: haven't signed their head coach obviously, Julie Fitzgerald's left the Giants.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: There's no head coach announced there the Vixen's of Samoe mcinness.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So when do these coach announcements come, they'd want to
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: be doing them quickly. I think if they then want
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: to go out to the rest of the league and
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: find players to fill gaps.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Is Tracy Neville leaving or just hasn't been resigned yet?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Well, could have been resigned in the last few weeks,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: but she didn't have a contract for next year, so
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that conversation has to happen.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am the sole person, the only person in
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the world who knows the Dribbler's Hottest one hundred, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be Hottest one hundred. It's going
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to be Hottest forty. I will be announcing that, are
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: be sharing that after our event because we will be
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: playing a playlist at our live event on Friday night
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: in Melbourne that is the Dribbler's Hottest one hundred, And
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I will say, Dribblers, there is some overlap between our
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Hottest one h hundred and the other hottest one hundred.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: That was bloody hard, wasn't it. You text me? Can
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: you do this? Yeah? Sure, this will be easy.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: And then there's so many songs and I was kacking
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: myself at some of them on the list, like I
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: think Daddy Minogue had one in there.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Where were strawberry kisses?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: She was robbed? What about strawberry kisses? Good point? Yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: we'd be now forty year old Nicki Webster I done nearly.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: For Nicki Webster is not forty. I refuse to believe
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: that she's I'll give you sixteen Max.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got a child, so she's not sixty.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Do you know they're doing the top two hundred this
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: week on Double J. So the one hundred to two hundred.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Oh very good of Aussie songs.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of Aussie songs. So I've been.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Listening to Nicki Webster might make the cut.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'll let you know. I'll keep you updated.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I've got an important question for you. So one of
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the highlights of our first live event in Sydney was
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: you standing up and doing a bit of a set.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Do we get the pleasure of that in Melbourne? Look?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Why not? By netball expertises, they wear different colored dresses,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: so I should probably bring the razzle dazzle in some
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: other way. But yeah, I'll do that.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I'm excited and.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: God he's joining us, which is great. So that's from
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: five to seven at the Sporting Globe in Richmond. We
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: are sold out, I'm sorry, but very much looking forward
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to seeing everybody there. Yeah, that'll be good times, talking about.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Talking about the GF, talking.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: About the GF.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: How excitement.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And next week we will get back to having win
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: beneath our wings. But it's like it's season time. We're
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: we're just getting through the big stuff here at the moment.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But for those of you who were worried that I
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: was broken hearted yesterday, thank you. I appreciate it. I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: did not go over the two gins that I had
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: allocated for myself at the and they were small, which
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: is why I got two rather than one. But I
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: had a wonderful time. I'm so glad I was there.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of the Swifts. I'm so excited for
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the Vixens, and don't wait to go to a grand far.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Having had the weekend in sport that I've had where
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: teams that I care about did not get up and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: were destroyed in the last seconds of the go I'm
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to going to a game and just
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: going knock yourselves out. Just give me a good game.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I'm happy that ball's the winner.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: That's the winner.
• 38:18
