  Speaker 2: scattered around the country. So where are we?

  Speaker 1: The things to do?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Up to do? And where's the bus this week? Oh?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Look where I usually am? Well, actually not where I
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: usually am, but where I like to be which is
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: at home Bungelin Country.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic, fabulous. Well, I'm happy to say that where
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I am the sun is shining too so but I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: don't have a tan like you, Cath. That is amazing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well I have had a cheeky week in Bali
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: as well, and it might be a little bit fake
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: just to keep the glisten day now. Meanwhile, I want
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: to ask you a question, Carolyn, are you the most
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: excited person on the planet Because we have not spoken
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: about the Swift's big signing there is a premiership coming
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: your way.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: That's a big call.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It is a big call, isn't it. I feel very excited.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited that we're at the end of this
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: signing season and now we can have a proper conversation
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: about it. And yes, as a Swifts fan, I do
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: feel like this new netball year of ours is looking
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: bright and shiny. Mind you, I would have said that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: twelve months ago though, so but you know, anything can
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: happen in the world of netball. I'll tell you what
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I am excited about though today I believe because they're
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: only doing it every second, although they keep changing stuff.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: My final book week that is my daughter is having
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: her last book week. No, this is good, this is
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: good news.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You're going out on a high. Then what's the costume?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: She went as Film of the Unicorn, which is actually
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a book that came out after she was of the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: age to read it. But it's something that we could
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: stitch together. I said, we're not ordering a costume online.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We're not going to get onto one of those places
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and order. You have to pull this together. So we
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: went to the two dollar shop and we bought a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: lot of landfill. But she and she's got this glittery
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: too too that she's wearing. And so my house now
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is just glitter everywhere and it will be like that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: for months to line it these things. Yeah though, but anyway,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so it's kind of a sad day, but mostly a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: happy Oh.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I get that. I'm not a craft person at all.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I do wonder, though, in two thousand years time, when
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: whatever civilization looks like is sort of studying the downfall
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: of this particular civilization, about how much they'll allocate the
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: ruination of the planet to all the shit that gets
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: created through bookweek and put into those landfills. Hate. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: do hate book Week because I just hate that I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: love books, don't get me wrong, I just hate the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: stress of the costumes. So the two best things that
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: have ever happened to me for Book Week one is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: when Evelyn was little, we were reading The Magical Far
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Away Tree and they had Blyton books, and she decided
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that she wanted to be sauceman Man. So we just
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: went to Viny's and bought every secondhand source and we could,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and I just strung them around her and she thought
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: it was the funniest thing that everyone heard her coming.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: And then as she got a bit older, Maddie Prowd
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: wrote a book about a netball player called Grace, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Evelyn went as a netball player for the rest of
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: her life. And now Austin goes, there's now like soccer
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: books for all the soccer players, and now he goes
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: as a souper player. And I feel zero guilt and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: had a little effort I put into it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Absolutely we are whatever is still left at cam Art
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the night.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: That's typically how it plays out.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Then I just tell Harper it was actually one of
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: her favorite books when she was growing up.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: She can't remember.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: We did a fantastic job seven or eight years ago
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: with my son. He went as Captain Underpants and we
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: made the book and so he went inside a book,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but when he stepped out, he was in a Captain
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Underpants costume. It was one of my finest parenting my
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: actually it was one of Pete's finest parenting moments. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as usual, I will take credit for it. But I'm
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: not sorry to see the back of this. And what
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: drives me insane as a pedant is the number of
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: kids going as something that that's not a book, that's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a video game or a movie or whatever. It's like, yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and I think it should be and I know I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: uptight whatever, I get the stick out of my ass,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: but it's like, it should start as a book and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: then become a movie. If it starts as a movie
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and then becomes a book, it's not a book week
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: ready costume.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: So you're saying no to all the Star Wars book
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: setting because they were a movie first.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, because they were movies first. But then it's like, well,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: read what you want to read, right, So I don't know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm confusing myself.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: It should be all about the most creativity that the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: parents can show from whatever's in the house at the time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Regardless of books, regardless of movies.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So Carolyn had comic strips books like you know, like Tintin.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's that has started as printed matter,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: so therefore I would say it qualies. So I'm already
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: backing off on my I know, I know, I understand
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that this is problematic, but no, it's mostly problematic for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: my poor husband.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine being the teacher or the person that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: stands at the pedant, that stands at the front gate
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and says, nah, to movie, go home, try again.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, yeah, excellently, come home, kid, Let's go
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to the beach.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: One of the things we did morph to at the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: rather privileged public primary school that my kids are at
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: is that the Easter hat parade. They changed it about
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: ten years ago, and it's like, you kids make this here,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you bring some craft stuff. So it's not there's no
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: parents making these in you know, we don't have milliners
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: coming in and saying, oh, look what Daisy made for herself,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and it's like bullshit, she made it. So it's like
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the kids make it in class. And I think that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is wonderful. I mean it's obviously half fast parade, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that's good. It's theirs. It's half fast, but it's theirs.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, love that. More they can do by themselves,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the better. It's a life lesson.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think we should move to them saying like
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: giving a heap of material to super Netball isn't saying
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: make your own uniforms so when you come.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I think more of them should just write books.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: That is true. Yeah, I mean Maddie Brown's led the way,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: But I'd like to see them all make their own
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: uniforms and see how they turn up in round one,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: just like the same we there's no dribble.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: We are leading by example, aren't we by making the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: scrunchies that are now scattered around the country.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So we could make them, but they would fall off
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: as soon as you started running around.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they'd be ordinary.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You have to pay extra for that, exactly.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: All right. So there has been some interesting stuff happening
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in the sun Corps super Netball world. Are we going
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to get to that now or is there anything else
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that's happened? Maybe has someone been asked to come out
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of retirement?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: God?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, weird, I thought it too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: This will shock you, lizellis what So, Yeah, I got
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a phone call from a lady in New Zealand who
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: had done some work with before, and they have done
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a documentary series before about elite athletes pro athletes coming
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: out of retirement and going through the fitness regimes again
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: that they need to play one more game. But it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: a game at the top of the level. So I
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: think with the footballers they played against Australia, they did
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: all this training, they documented the whole thing, they had
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: fitness testing, they had to do all their weights, all
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: this sort of stuff to play one more game. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, this is a pretty good excuse
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: to get fit again. One more game I could cope with.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: But then when I spoke to them in depth, it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the New Zealanders that do all the extra training. They
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: film that and the Australians just have to get themselves
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: to New Zealand to.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Play in the game in whatever shape.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I thought, No, if I'm going over there having to
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: play against ex silver Ferns who have been training for
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: three months, well that's a.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Hard no from me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Do you see this? Every time the Olympics comes up,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: someone writes, you know, I think for reference. We need
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to just have a normal person competing in every event
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in the Olympics so we can see how extraordinary they are.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Like that would be unfair for them to go back
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to their training and for you to just be you
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: know what I have and I've just been to Bali,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: but sure, let's put on a bib.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine I've got mask kick by them at
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the best of times. Though, I saw you saying, Bolt
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: running against some normal people and he was jogging and
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: he was half one hundred, like he's fifteen meters in
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: front of them, and they were absolutely flying. You could
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: see them trying like it would have been with us.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: But he was jogging looking back almost like laughing. What
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: is going on here with these people? Why are you
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: so slow?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Have you seen that simulator? I saw it online and
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: basically it is this. It's like a treadmill, but it's
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: like fifteen meters long, and they set it up at
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: different running festivals and stuff in the United States and
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it goes at the speed per kilometer that the person
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: who recently broke the marathon world come here the go
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: who got pace? Right? So he did it for is
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: it fifty two k or something like that forty twenty two, right,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So he ran this pace at forty two k and
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: they people got on and they could get on, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they get it up to his speed and see how
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: long they could go for. No one lasted longer than
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: a minute and his average speed through the marathon for
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: forty two k people could to do it. And a
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: woman got on who had represented America in the four
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: hundred meters a few Olympics earlier, and she lasted the longest.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: She went for like two and a half minutes and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: then like tapped out. That was so can you imagine?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That is just freaking wow? Back to you, Catherine, do
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you know that you know your problem is right though?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Because I see on Instagram people like Irene Van Dyke
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and Temapara and all those players they're still super fit
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: because I think they did this show years ago with
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: rugby players who had got overweight and unfit and basically
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: use it to drop excess kids. Those women would have
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: three months to train and they'd be back to very
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: very close to what they were like when they were
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: at the absolute best. Says, no way you get on
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the court against them.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I know, throwing law a Langman who decided to retire
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: and then take up CrossFit like she's an absolute beast.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But do you know what I did, Carol? And you'll
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: love this.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I thwarded the email on to Liz as well, so
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: they can see if they could get you out of retire.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw my reply. I was like,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: thank you, I'm busy. I was like, I read it, like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I love that, Like you actually went back and forth
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and showed some interest. I was like that thought of
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: playing against ir N fan Dyke again. I don't need
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: my back kicked by her. I get my back kicked
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: by life in metopause. I don't need herder add to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: my woes. Where was like the last time I played
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: against her, I won and like that'll do me? I don't.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: That was seventeen years ago on high. I still dine
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: out of it. I still make a living off it,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and I don't need that to change.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: As a fan, I just want you both to know
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I want to see this. I want you to do this,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and I think I speak for the Dribblers that we
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: would all like you to do this. I respect your
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: decision not to, but I would bloody love to see that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I think what people would like to see is us
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: doing it in our prime. What you'd see now is
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: this pitiful.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think New Zealand would like to see that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I think New Zealand would very much like to see
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you guys now getting flogged. And I think New Zealand
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Netball of fans might need some things to feel happy
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: about it. At the moment, It's.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Been set up beautifully, isn't it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It has Catherine and I would be a pitiful fact
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: similar to our former selves.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So no, anyway, speaking of New Zealand and netball, we've
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: touched on the oh good seaway. Yeah, thank you. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. And I'm looking at Air our producer, because
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I know that we promised her that we would stop
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: and have a break after every segment. But I feel
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like I've created the perfect segue and we're just going
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to run with it. Right So Grace Neweki coming to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the Swifts, And what I also want to talk about
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: is the impact of this on New Zealand netball because
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: they have this rule where it means she can't represent
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the Silver Ferns in the following year. And you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: we've had conversations about international players and to me, this
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: just seems insane discuss I think the timing of this
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: is really smart from Grace because next year there is
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: no big tournament on New Zealand needs her.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I think everybody is well aware of the fact that
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: if they want to win anything, they need her in
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the side. So this is a really good way for me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I think firstly for her to get over here and
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: play in the best competition in the world she wants
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: to improve her game and good honor, because it's a
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: gutsy move to make to get on the plane come
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: to Australia, give up playing for your own country, having
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: said that she's not going to miss any major tournaments.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: But I also think it puts a bit of pressure
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: on Netball New Zealand to think about this choice that
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: they're making and stopping players coming over, because what if
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: she does decide to stick it out for another year,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: another season with the Swifts, and then she goes into
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: missing out on a Commonwealth Games or some big tournament
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: because she'd rather be over here trying to improve her games.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I think this is a really gutsy move from her,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: a really brave move, and honestly, I think.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: The Swifts have got a premiership in the bag. She's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: exceptional already.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: She's going to come over here and be playing against
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: the best in the world.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: She's going to improve it a right of knots.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So Catherine, is she coming off a knee injury.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: She's played a season though since then, so she's fit.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: She's coming into it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: She did the knee at the World Cup, but she's back,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: She's played a whole big season. She's I honestly think
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you need to Carol and book your flights as soon
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: as they announced where the Grand Final is going to
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: be very good.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: That is a big well do you think it is?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Though? She did a knee in twenty twenty three, but
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: she's had that season under a belt and so she's
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: made the call. I'll play Devil's advocate though for you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: So if you net for New Zealand, you've got a
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: broadcast deal, you've got sponsors, you want to make sure
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you've got the best players available to you and their
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: leverage is playing for the Silver Ferns. So now players
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: have made that decision, you'd have to think that if
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: they've still got that rule coming in too. When the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Commonwealth Games are in twenty twenty six. Now we still
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: don't know if they've been confirmed in twenty twenty six,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: but certainly the World Cup in twenty twenty seven. As
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you say, Catherine, it's a smart choice to make now,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: but players are going to have to start to make
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: those really difficult decisions coming up to the next World
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: up and netbor New Zealand probably have to do some
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: thinking about it as well. But the Silver Ferns at
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: their point of leverage right, and I can see really
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: they're in a difficult position because yeah, they want, they
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: really do need the Silver Ferns to be firing and
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the best thing for that is to get those players
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: perhaps into the best netball league in the world, But
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: then that cannibalizes their domestic league and they've got broadcasters
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and sponsors who who want the best players there as well.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So it's a bloody difficult position for them to be in.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fully appreciate that. I mean, is it times you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: go back to a trans Tasmin competition.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Mmmm, Well that's one of the options, isn't it. But
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you have to talk about it. But the other option
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: is potentially that you know, Australia and New Zealand have
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: a conversation This is obviously my thoughts are not the
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: official thoughts of the Chair of Netball Australia, but you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: maybe there's room to have a conversation about the timing
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: of the leagues. One could be early in the year,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: one could be later in the year. I don't know.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: There's lots of things that we could do to work
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: together to make sure that both countries get looked after
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: and get what they need.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: But the interesting thing I guess off the back of
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: this is the flow on effect. Because the Swifts had
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: a position available for a goal shooter.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: We know Danell Wallen was waiting in the wings.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: For a spot and I think that was one she
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: probably had her eye on. She probably also had her
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: eye on the goal shooter position for the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Ramelda Aiken George is signed that so there was no
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: spot left for her.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: The only spot left for her was with the Northern
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Mystics in New Zealand because they've lost Grace Newiki. So
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: the flow on effect is really fascinating, isn't it When
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: there's only, you know, a few spots available for goal
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: shooters in the best competition and now she's.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: A tough game of musical chance. It is in music stopping.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: It really is, yes, stopping overseas for danel Wallen. She'll
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: be in New Zealand for the next season, So.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Liz is the common Off Games not confirmed for Glasgow?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I thought that was back on now I thought that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: was a dundee.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: It has been rumors, but I don't know that anything
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: has been one hundred percent confirmed yet.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: God, because I wonder if that timing was interesting for
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Grace too, that she signed it and then there was
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: this announcement that will maybe the Commonwealth Games will exist again,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: because we'd all sort of thought, well, that doesn't exist anymore.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But anyway, all very exciting. One thing, though, Kat, do
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you have an apology that you need to make publicly?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I've probably got a few. What's this one in regards to.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Well, when we were talking to Jess Rowe last week
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and wasn't that a great chat?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's amazing. She's a goal shooter by the way, guys.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Well was she a goal shooter to start with? Though?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And when I was asking you to guess who she
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: was and her starting position was in wing defense, did
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: you say something a teensy bit negative about that?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Look?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It was my gut reaction to say loser, and then
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: afterwards I did feel a little bit of remorse. I've
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: got to say a little bit, So I will just
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: say wing defenses out there.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're the most important on the court.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: But I also that was too harsh, and I take
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that back, and I think there is definitely a role
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: for you, and it's actually probably one of the hardest positions.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stick up for wing defenders and say
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: that the only way a goalkeeper looks good is for
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: wing defenders doing a job out the front.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Well, if I think.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: About all the best players that I've played with, they've
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: all been wing defensers.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to speak on behalf of wing defences worldwide, Catherine,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and I will accept that apology and say, we don't
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: really give a ship what the goal forts do for the.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: No one ever does.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: It was quite funny, though, when you took that mask
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: off and saw Jess looking at you, and then you realize, yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I just said you're a loser.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Worse than that, I think I said she was an
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: old loser, you're ageist.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's everything.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: She's agis, she's tallialist.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: She's absolutely hiahist.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a wing defenderist.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering whether I'm in an abusive relationship and this
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: might not actually be a friendship at all, But anyway,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I will.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Work on that. I also have an apology to make
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to you too. Me yes, because I did commit to.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Giving blood with you, and then I went to balley
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: and did what you do in BALLEI, well.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You've got to sexually transmit a disease.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Ended up in jail, all the things that screwed up.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: No, actually, none of those. But I did get a tattoo.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I got a tattoo, I got some I know I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: going to tramp step.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Did you get a big w D tattooed on your chest?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be f.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Now? I did not, because it wouldn't be very big
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: if it was on my chest. Firstly, I got a
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: little harper in little running riding just on my ribs,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: which is probably not really my ribs because there's a
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: bit of a layer over the top of it these days.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: But I did vow that I would get one removed
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: if I'm going to be any getting any more. And
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: becoming a total bogan. I would get one removed every time.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So the cocks on the wrist that is meant to
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: help me be identified in any accidents is going to go.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: So you're worried you're going to forget your daughter's name,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: but you're now confident that you'll remember your own son.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Them all over it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: So you went and got a tattoo. And now you're
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: worried that you're not allowed to give blood.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't think you can for like a year.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I know that there are very strict rules about this,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: but I have happy news for you. I believe it
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: is now reduced to only seven days, so we could
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: go any day of the week. Now we could go.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: We could get that tiny little needle injected into your
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: arm and you could have that warm in a glow.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, oh god, I thought I got out of
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: it all right, I got a whole heap of needles
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: to get out of one needle.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You're going to love it. You're going to feel like
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: a legend. And then we're going to have a sausage
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: roll in a milkshow.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the snacks, Well, if you guys do it in Sydney,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I will just go on the same day out here somewhere.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I think you have to book. I think it moves
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: around when you're living a regional area. So we'll find it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I'll take Matthew, we'll go both go and do it together.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Now, something's happening on the weekend of the Well, we've
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: already talked about what's happening on the weekend of the
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Test match of the Australia Diamonds Test Match. We're having
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: our event. But down in Victoria there is something going
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: on that I think we need to talk about. There
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: is an eighty four hour netball game going from Friday,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the twentieth of September through to sometime on the Sunday
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: or the Monday. I don't know. Someone do the maths
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: for me. When is eighty four hours end? And it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: only I think two teams, and it's a fundraiser, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this is I know, this is a new level of
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: insanity in the netball world, and I love that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I don't like this though, because Liz and I are
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: part of the world record for the longest game of
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: netball as it stands.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Are we well, tell me about that?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: What's that record?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: The oh actually you weren't there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't think I was. I think I was. I'd
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: think I was commentating in Delhi. Yes, yes, that might be.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Was it?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Oh God, I just can't remember anything now.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: You guys went into double overtime in Delhi? Because I
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: remember Luke Darcy and I who were commentating it. We
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: had a meeting the night before and about fifteen times
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: we went over what would happen if we've got to
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: double overtime, so we knew what was happening in commentary
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and he thought I was an idiot. And then the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: next day it happened and I was like, see, this
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: is why. And I'm pretty.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Sure it was like eighty four minutes or something like that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: It's the longest game of netball.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Well, these guys are going to kill that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to smash us.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That must have been exhausting for the wing defenses and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: everyone in the center court and pretty much everyone except
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the goal shooter.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Well, totally that's why I chose that position, but I
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: think I was also on the bench for half of it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: What I do want to do is tell you about this.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: So it's Victoria's inaugural Netball Marathon. Will attempt to do
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the unthinkable hold an eighty four hour that's three and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a half days. By the way, they've done the Mass
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: for Me netball match with only twenty four players, breaking
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the world record for the longest netball game while raising
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: vital funds for Australian charities and leaving a lasting legacy
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in the community. They are raising funds for and you
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: can choose from a bunch of charities beyond Blue Peter
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: McCallum Cancer Foundation, Food Bank, Victoria, Disability Sports Australia and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: this is the Burrs Netball Club. So if you want
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to support this, and why wouldn't you want to support this,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: particularly if you can't get to our event, you should
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: be down at this event. Netball Marathon twenty four two
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for dot Grassroots and that's roots with a Z, so
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: for the pedants like me, that's stressful. Netball Marathon twenty
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: four dot Grassroots dot com. Jump on board and try
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to support that, because what a terrific thing to do.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: A bunch of legends.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: So tell, can you just clarify only twelve in each team?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Did you say twenty four in total?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I think that's got I.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Sat each team for that.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Twenty four players.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, you die. They are amazing.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: So when's it on? When's it start?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It is on Friday, the twentieth of September. That's someone's birthday,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: FYI through to Tuesday, the twenty fourth of September. Imagine
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be like on that Tuesday morning.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: How exhausted, Imagine.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: The blisters, Imagine everything that's incredible. I can't even contemplate
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: doing that for that long with only twelve in.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: A tea, you knowited to kill you. It wouldn't be
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the physical stuffer. It to be the ability to concentrate.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Can I struggle for longer than twenty five minutes, let
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: alone twenty our.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Mess of falcons happening on that last day.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: It would be the ability to care about it too.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I think like at that point you'd be going, I
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: am so done with this, all right?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, spathal for the umpires as well. They've got to
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: control that mess.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: So each week we do our win. Beneath our wings,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: we have got scrunchies that are winging their way around
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the country at the moment. Sometimes we're sending them to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the person who did the nomination. Sometimes we're sending them
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: directly to the wind beneath our winger. But there's a
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: few people who we can't track down. So, Kathy McDonald,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you nominated Jules Ferlin from Tiger's Netball Club in the NT,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: can you please make contact with us? And Liz Thomas
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: you nominated Judy Headlin from the s Netball Club. Could
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: you please make contact with us because we haven't been
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: able to track you guys down and we desperately want
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: to send you your handmade goodies. And let's be honest,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the Printhy wine voucher is probably the more sought after
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of those two things, all right, So that eighty four
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: hour and Apple game, that is an amazing achievement. We
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: want all our ribblers to get behind it.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe we should find out who is behind, like
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: who's organizing it, and they could be the wind beneath
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: our wings for this week, because I think this is amazing,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: like what a what an effort, And so I think
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the first thing.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: You don't get the wine voucher for this by the way,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: oh my.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: God, we've done this so many weeks in a row.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Now I love it well, but I.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Think what I'm going to do is I'll get online
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: now and organize a no dribble donation to kick things off. Yes, great,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: and yeah, and then they become the wind beneath our Wingers.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: All right, so we're on to that. We need to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: find out who is behind this, dribblers. We need you
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to be keeping up the flood of nominations for the
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: wind beneath our Wingers, please, otherwise we'll have Lizzelli's making
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: a nomination every week just so she can get the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Printhy Wine voucher. So our beautiful country is covered with
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: wind Beneath our Wingers. We have every state represented, but
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: we know that we have not covered the whole nation
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: in terms of the people who are keeping our sport going.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So jump on our Instagram page, send a note through Facebook,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: find us somehow make your nomination, particularly if you could
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: send us a voice note please, because as you all know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: it's lovely to hear from dribblers in their own words
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and their own voices. So let us know who is
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: your wind beneath our wings nomination.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Elizabeth, I love the idea of a donation, but let's
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: put a link in our show notes so if anybody
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: else wants to donate.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: As well for this cause, they can't do.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So that's great. When you say let's put a link
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: in the show notes, Kath, are you saying that you'll
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: do the tech behind that?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not, because it would never happen.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I struggled to get my earphones in my laptop.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Oh dribblers, you have no idea how hard this is
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: for Cath. She's not in studio this week, but she
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: is so committed to the cause that she has worked
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: her way through the tech issues, and we commend her
• 25:55
