Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're listening to a d M podcast.
- 0:03Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
- 0:05Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No
- 0:07Speaker 2: Dribble Don't tell Mom. Hello, and welcome back to No Dribble,
- 0:23Speaker 2: the podcast where we talk about netfol We talked about
- 0:25Speaker 2: a whole lot of other fabulous stuff too. This is
- 0:27Speaker 2: episode eight. And I don't know about you, but I
- 0:29Speaker 2: remember in the eighties watching a show called Eighties Enough
- 0:31Speaker 2: and I could not disagree more. And I think the
- 0:34Speaker 2: people are with us. Welcome to No Dribble.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Hi, So you're saying that eight is enough, that we're
- 0:39Speaker 3: done after this one.
- 0:40Speaker 2: When I say I couldn't disagree more, that means I
- 0:42Speaker 2: don't think am all right?
- 0:43Speaker 3: Sorry, you can't write positives and negatives. Hi, I'm Catherine.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I'm very confused.
- 0:51Speaker 1: And I was watching Catherine's face and I could just
- 0:54Speaker 1: see her eyes glazed over because she heard eight and
- 0:57Speaker 1: thought it was a math cooundation and she checked out.
- 1:00Speaker 2: And you may well have heard a little mechanical noise
- 1:02Speaker 2: and that was my eyes rolling.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I thought that was the cod.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Oh, we're off to a cracking start. So oh, here
- 1:12Speaker 2: we are another week? How fabulous. Anyone had anything interesting happened.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Well, I'm gover off to a cracking start. I need
- 1:18Speaker 1: you to to make me feel happy today because I've
- 1:20Speaker 1: had something very sad happen. A couple of years ago,
- 1:24Speaker 1: we got a beautiful Jack Russell puppy who I adored
- 1:28Speaker 1: and he's so lovely. But we made the mistake of
- 1:32Speaker 1: thinking that one hundred and sixty acres was big enough
- 1:35Speaker 1: for him. And after two years, we've worked out that
- 1:38Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty acres is not big enough for him,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and we can't afford to put a big color bond
- 1:43Speaker 1: fence around our one hundred and sixty acres. And he'd
- 1:47Speaker 1: started to run away. So, you know, in the mornings,
- 1:50Speaker 1: I'd taken for a walk and we'd have a really
- 1:52Speaker 1: nice time, and he'd be a dog and rub himself
- 1:55Speaker 1: in all the things that's stunk, so you know, he's
- 1:58Speaker 1: a dog that smelt like rat and cow poo and
- 2:00Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So he was very happy.
- 2:02Speaker 1: But the moment that he was left unattended in the yard,
- 2:05Speaker 1: So if I went inside to do something and the
- 2:07Speaker 1: kids went outside, or Matthew wasn't outside, he would just
- 2:11Speaker 1: go on adventures, and so he had love the adventures
- 2:14Speaker 1: until he realized that there was peacocks that he could
- 2:17Speaker 1: chase about a kilometer and a half away. And our
- 2:19Speaker 1: neighbors rang and said, your dog has a peacock in
- 2:22Speaker 1: his mouth, and we were like, oh.
- 2:24Speaker 2: No, I have to ask a question about the peacocks,
- 2:27Speaker 2: but keep going with the dog story first, because I
- 2:29Speaker 2: need to know what happened.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And in the other direction, there's chickens that he found.
- 2:32Speaker 1: So look, he didn't kill the peacock, but he certainly
- 2:35Speaker 1: terrorized it. And like a lot of blokes that Catherine stated,
- 2:39Speaker 1: he liked the chase better than the catch.
- 2:40Speaker 3: And I thought, you're gonna say, like to show off.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That too. And so the sort of the straw that
- 2:48Speaker 1: broke the camel's back was that he started to sort
- 2:50Speaker 1: of wander a couple of kilometers from home and he
- 2:52Speaker 1: got picked up by the police and we realized that this.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Dog Catherine again.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Yeah, well just like Catherine. The police took him on
- 3:01Speaker 1: a bit of an adventure. He went out to a
- 3:03Speaker 1: missing person's case at Lismore, and we just realized that
- 3:08Speaker 1: he was actually in some danger of either getting run over,
- 3:12Speaker 1: and we heard through the grape vine through the country
- 3:14Speaker 1: grape vine that you know, he nearly got run over twice.
- 3:17Speaker 1: He's run in front of cyclists who used our roads.
- 3:20Speaker 1: That's dangerous for them. You know, he was chasing chickens
- 3:25Speaker 1: and peacocks and then he also got his leg caught
- 3:29Speaker 1: in a rabbit trapped, so flip, we actually went, do
- 3:32Speaker 1: you know what. He's a menace to himself, he is
- 3:34Speaker 1: a menace to other people. And we've had to surrender him.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And it's very, very sad. It's not going down very
- 3:40Speaker 1: well at home. So I love him. I adore him
- 3:43Speaker 1: with such a cute little dog, and he's got a
- 3:45Speaker 1: little ears. One of he sticks up, one he flops down.
- 3:47Speaker 1: But it's actually been a really tough week for our
- 3:50Speaker 1: family having to surrender.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Now when we say surrender, oh we.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Well, we actually got him from an animal shelter when
- 3:57Speaker 1: he was little, and so we went back to them
- 4:00Speaker 1: and we said, he needs to go to somewhere good, right.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I didn't want to just give him away, and I
- 4:05Speaker 1: know that these guys have a full vetting process, and
- 4:07Speaker 1: we rang them and they said, yeah, we'll actually make sure.
- 4:10Speaker 1: We've got lots of people who'd love a small dog
- 4:12Speaker 1: who've got fenced in yards. So we have got quite
- 4:15Speaker 1: a number of families who he will be perfect with.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And he likes other dogs, and he's good with kids,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and he's all the good things. So we're really confident
- 4:23Speaker 1: he'll end up somewhere really good and not too far away.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So like he's fine, he's abby as Larry. He's going
- 4:29Speaker 1: to go somewhere where he will be still able to
- 4:31Speaker 1: be a dog, but he will have a fence that
- 4:33Speaker 1: will keep him safe.
- 4:34Speaker 3: And I'm relieved he's not been surrendered to the big
- 4:36Speaker 3: farm in the sky. That's what I thought was.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Oh no, I was determined that because you know, puppies
- 4:42Speaker 1: aren't just for Christmas, Catherine. You've got a responsibility when
- 4:45Speaker 1: you've got a pet, which is why we actually realized
- 4:47Speaker 1: that we had to do something with him.
- 4:49Speaker 2: It's a very grown up thing to have to do.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It's awful when you have to make these tough decisions.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Are you going to replace him with a big, fat,
- 4:56Speaker 3: lazy dog.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Well, I think we're going to have to find a
- 4:58Speaker 1: big fat lazy dogs. If anyone's got a big lazy
- 5:00Speaker 1: dog they want to send their way. Who knows not
- 5:02Speaker 1: to poo in the housegard that'd be great, and you know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: like I thought, he just needed more adventure. So I
- 5:08Speaker 1: started taking him to the beach. But there's like a
- 5:10Speaker 1: dog beach near us. But I spent the whole time
- 5:13Speaker 1: chasing him because he would just run off and not
- 5:16Speaker 1: come back. I'm like, well, these other people's dogs, they
- 5:19Speaker 1: run away and they play and they come back to their owners.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And anyway, he's a bit too independent. So it was
- 5:27Speaker 1: a very mature thing to have to do.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Very sad. Yeah it is. It's very grown up.
- 5:31Speaker 3: You know, how get your mind off this? How distract you?
- 5:36Speaker 2: Popping a scrunching?
- 5:37Speaker 3: So no, that would distract me.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I do have a scrunch in my head today, don't
- 5:43Speaker 1: I do?
- 5:45Speaker 2: And it goes with your outfit. I want to talk
- 5:46Speaker 2: about scrunches going with outfits later on.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Yeah, some of our listeners, Wow, they're right into it,
- 5:52Speaker 3: aren't they. Hey, Elizabeth, I do need to talk about this,
- 5:55Speaker 3: and this will definitely distract you. It's because it's distracted me.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I'm a little horrified and this may turn into a
- 6:01Speaker 3: therapy session. So I appreciate that people can promote themselves
- 6:06Speaker 3: and maybe show their bodies off if they want to
- 6:10Speaker 3: not an issue with any of that. Only fans comes
- 6:13Speaker 3: to mind.
- 6:13Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about stuff I did in my twenties.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, because back in the day it was
- 6:20Speaker 3: really only probably calendars, which we do have a story about.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Well we've done a calendar with the Israel netball team. God,
- 6:26Speaker 3: I hope that's dead and buried. Or maybe magazines and
- 6:30Speaker 3: I was like my mum and Dad's on the weekend
- 6:32Speaker 3: they had a magazine sitting there wasn't in a draw,
- 6:34Speaker 3: hidden anywhere like that. But Liz Ellis is a centerfold.
- 6:40Speaker 2: What yep, my blood runs cold. My memories has just been.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Sentable?
- 6:55Speaker 2: Is someone else also a centerfold in that?
- 6:58Speaker 3: But the sight of my face? Well sure, but this
- 7:01Speaker 3: is like full frontal.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You don't look very happy in that either, because I'm
- 7:05Speaker 2: not full front But there's the Alli span, Oh my god, alispan.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Anyway, I'll put it on socials so everybody can see.
- 7:13Speaker 1: So does look like the staples are on my chest?
- 7:17Speaker 3: Yeah? They see. Wouldn't you be glad to have staples? Then?
- 7:19Speaker 3: Now to hold it? It is Grasp magazine. This must
- 7:25Speaker 3: be around two thousand and seven because it's all the
- 7:27Speaker 3: World Cup stuff. But there's a classic photo of you
- 7:30Speaker 3: with Dan Ryan, who's now the head coach of the
- 7:32Speaker 3: West Coast Fever, who looks like he's twelve. I'm not
- 7:35Speaker 3: sure if his mum knew where he was when this
- 7:37Speaker 3: photo was being taken. And he's got a dodgy looking
- 7:40Speaker 3: kind of mohawky hairded look at that boy band.
- 7:42Speaker 2: He's a little bit risky business in that photo.
- 7:47Speaker 3: That's a bit of a compliment. Anyway, we'll stick that
- 7:48Speaker 3: on socials too, so you can see what Dan looks
- 7:50Speaker 3: like in the day.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Speaking of the olden days, it's almost ten years to
- 7:54Speaker 2: the day since Catherine finished her career with a Grand
- 7:56Speaker 2: Final win with the Vixen, so.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Wasn't that crazy? And they actually had a reunion yesterday,
- 8:02Speaker 3: so they had the team from twenty fourteen all a
- 8:06Speaker 3: little guard of honor at the Vixen's game yesterday. There
- 8:08Speaker 3: was a pre match postmax function and they did a
- 8:10Speaker 3: recreation of the Grand Final shot holding the trophy and
- 8:14Speaker 3: I missed it. So shout out to the Vixens and
- 8:17Speaker 3: hope they had a good day. Yesterday looked like fun.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Catherine, congratulations. I remember I commentated to your last game
- 8:23Speaker 1: and if you go back and you listen to it.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I commentate the whole first fifty six minutes of the
- 8:31Speaker 1: game and the last four minutes when you start crying,
- 8:35Speaker 1: I can't I'm crying and I can't talk. And I
- 8:37Speaker 1: was commentating it with Kelly Underwood, who kept looking at
- 8:40Speaker 1: me and pulling these faces like you have to talk
- 8:42Speaker 1: and other.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Elz was mute for the first time in her whole life.
- 8:48Speaker 3: That was great. What about ten years, though?
- 8:52Speaker 1: What does it go?
- 8:52Speaker 3: By God? Because the Swifts are also celebrating twenty years
- 8:56Speaker 3: of the twenty No two thousand and four Premiership obviously,
- 9:02Speaker 3: and they're doing a big celebration. They're doing heritage around
- 9:04Speaker 3: this weekend as well, So God, twenty years.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I think we should enjoy the memory of that Grand
- 9:09Speaker 2: Final win because we're not going to get another one
- 9:12Speaker 2: this year by the looks of things.
- 9:14Speaker 3: No, what though stranger things have happened, there's still only
- 9:19Speaker 3: two wins away from fourth spot. That's not out of
- 9:22Speaker 3: the question.
- 9:23Speaker 1: In three games.
- 9:25Speaker 2: They've got a tougher run home though than say the
- 9:27Speaker 2: lightning due not out of the question, not out of
- 9:29Speaker 2: the question.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I'm saying, don't hope, people, but.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Let's enjoy celebrating the two thousand and four twentieth Well.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I think we'll all be there. Half. I'm going to
- 9:37Speaker 1: be there. I'm going to drag my family down on
- 9:39Speaker 1: the weekend and there's most of the girls are going
- 9:41Speaker 1: to be there, so it'll be fun. Someone probably needs
- 9:44Speaker 1: to alert the authorities that were getting together.
- 9:47Speaker 3: How good were the days? Though back then there were
- 9:49Speaker 3: team didn't get poached because there was big money involved.
- 9:53Speaker 3: So we're all real family. We spoke about this with
- 9:55Speaker 3: Julie Fitzgerald last week, but it meant that anytime we
- 9:58Speaker 3: went away, we would stay away and we'd go and
- 10:01Speaker 3: do fun things. We weren't rushing back because we had
- 10:03Speaker 3: this professional kind of routine and schedule that we had
- 10:07Speaker 3: to keep up to. So we did long weekends in
- 10:09Speaker 3: McLaren Vale and all sorts of crazy stuff, didn't we
- 10:13Speaker 3: It was the best times.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It was well poor because we weren't paid to play,
- 10:16Speaker 1: but we had fun.
- 10:18Speaker 3: True. True.
- 10:22Speaker 2: We will talk more netball shortly, including my whereabouts this
- 10:25Speaker 2: weekend because it will not be at the Swift's game.
- 10:27Speaker 2: But Rugby League never fails to entertain with some off
- 10:31Speaker 2: field antics. But there was something this week I know
- 10:33Speaker 2: you saw it, and I'm interested to hear about you
- 10:35Speaker 2: guys when your every move is captured by a camera.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Mitchell Woods is a young halfback for your South Wales
- 10:40Speaker 2: Gott putting water from his drink bottle down his pants
- 10:44Speaker 2: and don't think he remembered that he had cameras on
- 10:47Speaker 2: him at that stage. And I think this is a
- 10:48Speaker 2: fairly common thing for early career professional athletes. Have you, guys,
- 10:52Speaker 2: ever been caught putting your water bottle in your pants
- 10:55Speaker 2: to put yourself down?
- 10:56Speaker 3: Firstly, what's going on down his pants that he needs
- 10:59Speaker 3: to be squirted the water bottle?
- 11:01Speaker 2: Well, it's hot, I imagine. Yeah, I guess as long
- 11:08Speaker 2: as it's not anything you should be at the chemist for.
- 11:10Speaker 2: We did talk about the swampy crutch last week.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So I never put my water bottle down my pants.
- 11:14Speaker 1: But I you know, when I first started working, I
- 11:18Speaker 1: didn't realize that when the cameras roll for rehearsal, you
- 11:21Speaker 1: do rehearsal on then they just leave it on. And
- 11:24Speaker 1: I didn't realize it, especially when as I as we
- 11:27Speaker 1: sort of went into Channel nine and Killy DeVry was
- 11:29Speaker 1: our producer. She would leave the camera rolling and record
- 11:33Speaker 1: things and then put it on in the Christmas edit,
- 11:35Speaker 1: and there was lots of times where we would be
- 11:37Speaker 1: dancing or singing to the stuff that was going on
- 11:40Speaker 1: in the stadium, and then it would turn up in
- 11:43Speaker 1: the Christmas edit or in the Grand Final edit. She'd
- 11:45Speaker 1: throw it in at the end so say what a
- 11:47Speaker 1: year it's been, And then there'd always be a little
- 11:49Speaker 1: cutaway of one of us dancing, singing or being idiots.
- 11:52Speaker 1: So yeah, she was obviously not to be trusted.
- 11:55Speaker 3: It is a big lesson to learn, though, isn't it,
- 11:57Speaker 3: Because even if it's not the camera, the microphones are
- 11:59Speaker 3: all a ways on and we would chat about you know,
- 12:03Speaker 3: inner thoughts would come out when you think you're not
- 12:05Speaker 3: being recorded. And so now now if we do want
- 12:08Speaker 3: to talk to each other in commentary, write it down
- 12:11Speaker 3: and then cross it out. Yeah, there's no paper. However,
- 12:15Speaker 3: Liz has done many a stupid thing on camera on purpose,
- 12:20Speaker 3: like playing the drums. I can't remember how this happened,
- 12:25Speaker 3: but there was definitely a band at the Was it
- 12:27Speaker 3: the World Cup?
- 12:28Speaker 1: No, it was a Was there a Swift's game or
- 12:31Speaker 1: a Giants game? Might have been a double header. Remember
- 12:33Speaker 1: we used to have it used to be doubleheaders, and
- 12:35Speaker 1: it was in Sydney, and so Swifts had played someone
- 12:38Speaker 1: and Giants had played someone, and by the end of
- 12:40Speaker 1: the double header were all delirious and it was like
- 12:43Speaker 1: on a Sunday, and I'd done sports Sunday that morning,
- 12:45Speaker 1: so I'd been up since, you know, pull ten the clock.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And then we got to the end and I was
- 12:49Speaker 1: on the sidelines and Gordy I don't know, saw the
- 12:51Speaker 1: drums and dead you know, I'm like, yeah, I don't care.
- 12:54Speaker 1: So I went and said to the girl, the woman
- 12:56Speaker 1: who was on the drums, do you think I could
- 12:57Speaker 1: just play a little.
- 13:00Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, do you have the skill set to
- 13:04Speaker 2: do that?
- 13:04Speaker 3: No, no, she does not.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Well, actually I can do it because I know that
- 13:09Speaker 1: you go like that one first, because you've got to
- 13:12Speaker 1: move on while you're hitting that one. So I knew that.
- 13:14Speaker 1: But that's it. That's the extent of it.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Oh my god. It's like interviewing Dave Grohl, isn't it.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But we do have footage of that somewhere,
- 13:22Speaker 3: be good to We need to find that.
- 13:24Speaker 2: And we actually had one of the listeners ping that
- 13:26Speaker 2: on our Instagram I think a few weeks ago. Wasn't
- 13:28Speaker 2: it this this memory it is burnt in people's bands.
- 13:33Speaker 2: But that was not an accidental on camera incident. That
- 13:36Speaker 2: was a deliberate on camera incident.
- 13:37Speaker 3: No, there's plenty of picking your uniform out of your button,
- 13:40Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff that gets caught on camera.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Isn't there smelling your under arms all that sort of
- 13:45Speaker 3: was that smell coming.
- 13:45Speaker 2: From what were just gently adjusting your alispan and checking?
- 13:50Speaker 3: Yeah, that's because it wasn't It's just a little glow
- 13:55Speaker 3: just above my lip used.
- 13:56Speaker 1: To glow like a pig.
- 14:06Speaker 2: This won't be relevant to everyone, but the day we
- 14:09Speaker 2: released this episode is the second State of Origin, which
- 14:12Speaker 2: is a rugby league match. Now, whether or not that's
- 14:14Speaker 2: of interest to you, I think that something might be
- 14:15Speaker 2: of interest to you is that the former captain of
- 14:18Speaker 2: the new South Wales team was dropped for the first game,
- 14:21Speaker 2: and three days later because of an injury, the guy
- 14:23Speaker 2: who was selected for him, he was called back up.
- 14:25Speaker 2: So of course everyone in the rugby league chats was like,
- 14:28Speaker 2: I should tell him to get stuffed. It's like, that's
- 14:30Speaker 2: not how professional sport works. But I just thought it
- 14:32Speaker 2: was amazing to think about the emotional rollercoaster that James
- 14:35Speaker 2: Tedesco would have had to go through there, and then
- 14:38Speaker 2: he came back into the team and did very well.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't win, but he certainly acquitted himself
- 14:42Speaker 2: in the way that he would have wanted to so,
- 14:44Speaker 2: and I'm just interested from both of your perspectives about
- 14:49Speaker 2: have you ever been dropped and had to work your
- 14:50Speaker 2: way back into the team or you know what sort
- 14:53Speaker 2: of emotional processes did you have to go through.
- 14:57Speaker 3: See, she can't talk because she's never been dripped to
- 15:00Speaker 3: the ghost has never been dropped.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I have a story about this.
- 15:03Speaker 3: So this one time in Under eleven's.
- 15:10Speaker 1: But it told me right. So I played Under eleven's
- 15:13Speaker 1: rep and then I turned up for selections for Under twelve.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Are you seriously telling?
- 15:18Speaker 3: Oh my god, I was shoking.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I was laughing. I turned up to Under twelve selections.
- 15:23Speaker 1: This was at hawkesbree where I grew up, and I
- 15:26Speaker 1: thought I was pretty good, right, And I just went
- 15:29Speaker 1: through the motions and I said, yeah, yeah, I have
- 15:30Speaker 1: a goal wing defense and you know, which wasn't my position.
- 15:33Speaker 1: But I just thought I'm good, right, they'll pick me
- 15:36Speaker 1: because I was so good last year. Anyway, at the
- 15:38Speaker 1: end of it, the woman who was the selector walked
- 15:41Speaker 1: out and read out the list and there was no
- 15:45Speaker 1: Elizabeth Ellis on the list. And I was like, that's it.
- 15:49Speaker 1: My network career done and dusted at twelve. And I
- 15:51Speaker 1: burst into tears and went running to my mum and
- 15:53Speaker 1: she was like, oh quick, you crying. I'm gonna go home,
- 15:56Speaker 1: go to have dinner. Anyway, So her and I had
- 15:58Speaker 1: all these long conversations and she sort of basically got
- 16:01Speaker 1: me to understand that I actually hadn't turned up prepared.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I've done none of that. Like then they give you
- 16:05Speaker 1: a little training things, I've done none of that. I
- 16:07Speaker 1: thought that I was so good I would get selected,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and she's like, well, you know, they don't have to
- 16:10Speaker 1: select you. It's up to you to select yourself. And
- 16:13Speaker 1: that little lesson I took that with me the whole
- 16:16Speaker 1: way through my career, which Catherine explains why I was
- 16:18Speaker 1: such a pain in the ass around selection and used
- 16:21Speaker 1: to be intent on getting everything, all that fitness training right,
- 16:25Speaker 1: all of everything had to be spot on because I
- 16:28Speaker 1: had this little twelve year old on my shoulder going, well,
- 16:30Speaker 1: you got to select yourself. Anyway. I didn't miss a
- 16:33Speaker 1: selection after that.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great story.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Goot, it is a nice story, but it is I
- 16:38Speaker 2: think that in the context, we'll just move to your
- 16:40Speaker 2: story because that's really good.
- 16:41Speaker 3: I actually got dropped from the proper Australian teams at
- 16:45Speaker 3: a much older.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Age's Australian under elevens two.
- 16:50Speaker 3: That is a good little lesson. I wish Madgie told
- 16:52Speaker 3: me that early on in my life, and then it
- 16:53Speaker 3: might have saved me being dropped from the Astrangers.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I blame her for you getting dropped later in your life.
- 16:58Speaker 3: So I did get dropped from the Australian ball team,
- 17:01Speaker 3: but I reckon with him and with any other athlete.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Every time you hear their profile stories and they go
- 17:07Speaker 3: into their careers and whatever, every single one of them
- 17:10Speaker 3: will ultimately say being dropped at some point in their
- 17:13Speaker 3: career was the best thing that happened to them. And
- 17:15Speaker 3: mine was exactly the same because I had gone through
- 17:19Speaker 3: the system like the junior ranks with absolutely no issue.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I'd even skip teams, skipped age groups. I go straight
- 17:26Speaker 3: into the Australian team with little effort, which was amazing.
- 17:30Speaker 3: But then that's where the effort really comes. It's not
- 17:32Speaker 3: I didn't find it too hard getting there, staying there
- 17:35Speaker 3: very very difficult, and being dropped for the first time
- 17:38Speaker 3: was the very big kick in the head I needed
- 17:41Speaker 3: to go. You actually have to work a lot harder
- 17:44Speaker 3: at everything than you have if you want to stay here.
- 17:47Speaker 3: And I wouldn't have done that had that not happened.
- 17:50Speaker 3: So it was an early lesson to learn, but a
- 17:53Speaker 3: really good one. And like I said, I saw a
- 17:55Speaker 3: profile piece on Jamie Lee Price the other day, and
- 17:58Speaker 3: she's got great stories of being dropped. She does say
- 18:00Speaker 3: straight after them. Wouldn't want it any other way, because
- 18:03Speaker 3: you don't change anything if you haven't been through those
- 18:05Speaker 3: challenges and know all those things that try and make
- 18:08Speaker 3: you look for other ways to improve or raise the
- 18:11Speaker 3: bar or whatever it is. So yeah, I'm so grateful
- 18:13Speaker 3: for that happening. But one thing that we didn't do
- 18:16Speaker 3: again is after an Australian selection. We had planned Liz
- 18:22Speaker 3: and I had planned this whole trip, so we were
- 18:24Speaker 3: playing in Jamaica and then we had planned to go
- 18:26Speaker 3: to the US. We're going to go to Indian Wells
- 18:29Speaker 3: to the tennis, We're going to go to the Greek Islands.
- 18:31Speaker 3: At some point we had this whole trip planned. And
- 18:33Speaker 3: it was back in the day where they were trialing
- 18:36Speaker 3: a different kind of selection in terms of informing the athletes.
- 18:40Speaker 3: So we used to all be in one room at
- 18:42Speaker 3: the AS after a camp and the selectors would have
- 18:46Speaker 3: everybody in the room and they'd come in and then
- 18:48Speaker 3: read the team out. Oh my god, horrendous. So if
- 18:50Speaker 3: you didn't make it, you had to get up and
- 18:53Speaker 3: you had to leave the room. It's like a chorus
- 18:56Speaker 3: line because she couldn't celebrate if you did get sleep.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Oh no, you couldn't be happy because your friends were
- 19:01Speaker 1: having to do the walk of shame to get up
- 19:03Speaker 1: and walk out of the room and got on it
- 19:06Speaker 1: and cruse.
- 19:07Speaker 3: It was so this is why they changed it. They
- 19:09Speaker 3: tried this different way. So I think this one time
- 19:12Speaker 3: we must have been staying in a hotel, so we
- 19:14Speaker 3: were off site and you had to go back to
- 19:17Speaker 3: your room after the selection weekend had finished, and they
- 19:20Speaker 3: slipped a piece of paper under the door with the
- 19:22Speaker 3: team list on it, and so it was just you
- 19:24Speaker 3: and your roommate at that point. And as I said,
- 19:27Speaker 3: Liz and I had planned this whole trip. The list
- 19:29Speaker 3: comes under the door, She's on it. I'm not.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Liz.
- 19:34Speaker 3: You with Cherrelle. Weren't you when this all broke?
- 19:37Speaker 1: This is awful.
- 19:37Speaker 2: I still feel bad about this and see the smile
- 19:40Speaker 2: on her face.
- 19:41Speaker 1: I was room with Cherrelle. Well she got selected right
- 19:44Speaker 1: and Catherine didn't, and it was her first selection. And
- 19:47Speaker 1: I looked at the list and I was so assuming
- 19:49Speaker 1: that Katherine didn't get selected. It's through the paper. Cheelle
- 19:54Speaker 1: and said you're in. Congratulations And I went off to
- 19:56Speaker 1: talk to which is so mean, Like it's such a
- 20:01Speaker 1: mean thing to do, and I'm so mortified. And Charrelle
- 20:03Speaker 1: tells his story often and I just wanted the floor
- 20:07Speaker 1: to swallow swallow me up. So I've apologized her on
- 20:10Speaker 1: multiple occasions and shads, if you're listening, I'm still very
- 20:13Speaker 1: very sorry. Anyway, we ended up obviously being great friends
- 20:16Speaker 1: and leaders of the Diamers together and all that sort
- 20:19Speaker 1: of stuff. But I was just devote that Cats didn't
- 20:21Speaker 1: make it.
- 20:22Speaker 3: And in the meantime, yes, I was grateful for your support.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Thank you. Me and Alison Broadband and Jane Olschwager. When
- 20:28Speaker 1: that holiday in Santorini, you.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Want to see something funny, Jane Olschwago, who's six foot
- 20:32Speaker 3: four on one of those miniature donkeys going up the
- 20:35Speaker 3: hills in Santino, dragging on the ground.
- 20:43Speaker 2: This is a strange cosmic coincidence. Lizzellis only ever comes
- 20:46Speaker 2: to Sydney when I'm not here. I'm trying not to
- 20:48Speaker 2: take it personally, but she'll be here this weekend. I
- 20:51Speaker 2: will be though in Western Australia, and I'm going to
- 20:54Speaker 2: the Fever Giants game and i can't tell you how
- 20:56Speaker 2: excited I am about it.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Whoo.
- 20:59Speaker 2: I'm wearing the Giants T shirt. So anyone who is
- 21:02Speaker 2: a dribber, I would love for you to come and
- 21:03Speaker 2: say hello and yeah. So that's who I will be,
- 21:06Speaker 2: the one person in the orange T shirt at the
- 21:09Speaker 2: stadium American.
- 21:10Speaker 3: I don't know that that's enough to stand out, because
- 21:13Speaker 3: there could be other people in an orange T shirt.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I don't anticipate there will be many at the Fever game.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Never know.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Well, just in case, I had a little bit of
- 21:21Speaker 3: a thought and I thought this particular thing might help. Ready, Elizabeth,
- 21:28Speaker 3: don't dn't dun du.
- 21:34Speaker 1: So.
- 21:35Speaker 3: I know this is a podcast and you can't see
- 21:37Speaker 3: it is a colorful hat that has a propeller on
- 21:40Speaker 3: the top of it that spins around people, and I
- 21:42Speaker 3: think let's just try that on. Shall we look at that? Now?
- 21:46Speaker 2: It's an orange, Yeah, it is an orange propeller. And
- 21:49Speaker 2: look it's a green visor. But it's you know this,
- 21:52Speaker 2: this might be this sun Corps Supernetball. I just like
- 21:55Speaker 2: to support the netball rather than a specific team hat.
- 21:57Speaker 2: We've got lightning, we've got swifts. I don't know what's
- 22:00Speaker 2: around the back there. I'm not wearing this now, but
- 22:02Speaker 2: don't you think it.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Distinguishes so nicely?
- 22:04Speaker 1: You have to wear it? Dude? How can you not
- 22:06Speaker 1: wear that?
- 22:07Speaker 2: I love this podcast and our Dribblers so much that
- 22:10Speaker 2: I will do this, But I just want you to know.
- 22:12Speaker 2: My son is sixteen. He is going to hate this
- 22:16Speaker 2: with a passion that is usually reserved for a dinner
- 22:20Speaker 2: involving tofu and Brussels sprouts. This is Can you imagine
- 22:24Speaker 2: how horrifying this will be for him? And that's exactly
- 22:26Speaker 2: why I'm.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Doing it, Sorry, Lewis.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Yes, so Dribblers look out for me. I'm wearing this
- 22:33Speaker 2: hat just so I can meet you. Please, please don't
- 22:36Speaker 2: make me look like a loser in front of my
- 22:38Speaker 2: son and have no one come and say hello. To
- 22:40Speaker 2: me that, Oh, oh my god, now I'm dying at.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Well.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Fortunately I think the Dribbler's in nice that Catherine coxass
- 22:51Speaker 2: so please come and say hello. I will wear this
- 22:54Speaker 2: hat at least until the end of the first quarter,
- 22:56Speaker 2: and if no one has come and said hello to me,
- 22:58Speaker 2: then I'm taking the bloody thing off. I assume they've
- 23:03Speaker 2: got a can of Gin and Tonic there. I'll be fine.
- 23:05Speaker 2: But yeah, looking forward to seeing you Western Australia. I
- 23:09Speaker 2: think we should talk about some netball.
- 23:11Speaker 3: How about the five?
- 23:12Speaker 2: How about the fire Birds? That was so exciting? What'sn't it?
- 23:15Speaker 1: Wow?
- 23:15Speaker 3: We mentioned last week you actually said they don't look
- 23:18Speaker 3: like a team that's had the weight of the world
- 23:20Speaker 3: lifted off their shoulders. Yet I think they did on
- 23:23Speaker 3: the weekend.
- 23:23Speaker 2: It's interesting, wasn't it? Where was that? Guys? Where have
- 23:29Speaker 2: you been? What's been going on? Because that was a
- 23:32Speaker 2: really good performance.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Well, it was interesting. Katie Walker, who's taken over as
- 23:36Speaker 1: a caretaker coach. I love that she came out and
- 23:38Speaker 1: said we've got four games to go, We're going to
- 23:40Speaker 1: get four wins. So she's really well known and well
- 23:45Speaker 1: loved in Queensland netball circles, and she's known as a
- 23:48Speaker 1: a bit of a hype girl, super positive, and I
- 23:51Speaker 1: actually when I was watching the game on Saturday afternoon
- 23:54Speaker 1: or Saturday evening, I sat behind her mum and her
- 23:56Speaker 1: sister and they played every ball of the whole game
- 24:02Speaker 1: like that was just so so into it. It was
- 24:05Speaker 1: so great to watch, and her mum was just beside
- 24:08Speaker 1: herself at the end, and her sister was so exciting.
- 24:11Speaker 1: So it was actually I watched them as much as
- 24:13Speaker 1: I watched the game. So look, I think, you know
- 24:16Speaker 1: Katie coming out and saying we've got four more games,
- 24:19Speaker 1: I expect us to get four more wins. That actually
- 24:21Speaker 1: gives them something to aim for, you know, and if
- 24:23Speaker 1: they do that, they're going to push for fourth.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Well wouldn't that be amazing.
- 24:27Speaker 3: The thing with Katie Walker is every time we had
- 24:30Speaker 3: the microphone in the huddle during the commentary, she's not
- 24:33Speaker 3: talking too much about tactics or giving them things to
- 24:36Speaker 3: think about. She was pumping them up the entire time,
- 24:40Speaker 3: and that team in that moment, that is all they
- 24:43Speaker 3: needed and that's all that I think they'll need for
- 24:45Speaker 3: the rest of this season. She just kept saying, you're
- 24:47Speaker 3: doing so well, this is brilliant, keep it up. It
- 24:50Speaker 3: was all that sort of real positive energy, and I
- 24:53Speaker 3: think after a tough season, that's exactly what they needed
- 24:56Speaker 3: to hear. Look.
- 24:56Speaker 2: I feel really sorry for beck Bully though, because I
- 24:59Speaker 2: think that everything I heard from her was also incredibly
- 25:01Speaker 2: positive throughout it, don't you know. I don't do a
- 25:04Speaker 2: forensic study on all of these in the timeouts, but
- 25:06Speaker 2: I always heard her being very positive, and it's like
- 25:09Speaker 2: she knew the players could do this and they didn't.
- 25:12Speaker 2: And I just sort of feel a bit like, guys,
- 25:14Speaker 2: where was that? Why is it showing up now? And
- 25:17Speaker 2: I think it's fabulous. I'm so excited for them that
- 25:19Speaker 2: they had a win. I'm so excited for their fans.
- 25:21Speaker 2: I'm so excited for Katie Walker. But I also feel
- 25:24Speaker 2: a little bit like, well, that's been your job.
- 25:28Speaker 3: All season, one hundred percent. There is a difference between
- 25:31Speaker 3: a happy side and not, Liz, We've been in many
- 25:33Speaker 3: teams that have had a coach that we necessarily haven't
- 25:36Speaker 3: agreed with or got on with as well as some others,
- 25:39Speaker 3: and you certainly perform in a team where you're happy,
- 25:42Speaker 3: but that in this day and age, you need to
- 25:45Speaker 3: be performing all the time, every single week regardless. So yeah,
- 25:48Speaker 3: I completely get where you're coming from.
- 25:50Speaker 2: So the other great thing was to see the Giants
- 25:52Speaker 2: doing so well too. I thought that was a terrific match.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I was hoping that they'd get up and they didn't,
- 25:57Speaker 2: which which was a shame. But what I loved and
- 25:59Speaker 2: what I think is so amazing about our sport is
- 26:02Speaker 2: seeing Joe Harton ask the umpire to reconsider a call
- 26:07Speaker 2: that she had made, and she did it respectfully, she
- 26:09Speaker 2: did it politely, and the umpire had the integrity and
- 26:12Speaker 2: the decency in the moment to be able to go, yes,
- 26:14Speaker 2: I've made a mistake and reverse the call. And I
- 26:16Speaker 2: just thought, Oh, that's netball, isn't it. No one's going
- 26:19Speaker 2: off at one another. They are having a calm conversation
- 26:21Speaker 2: and people are able to acknowledge they've made a mistake
- 26:24Speaker 2: and say, yep, for the good of the game, this
- 26:26Speaker 2: is what's what's required. I thought it was a terrific moment.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Joe Harden saying to the umpires here, if you need here,
- 26:31Speaker 1: if you need do you think she's got an advantage
- 26:34Speaker 1: because she's got an English accent, so she sounds really polite.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Kath you're our resident accent expert. Would you like to
- 26:42Speaker 2: try and Joe harton accent? I know you did a
- 26:45Speaker 2: fantastic Scottish accent.
- 26:50Speaker 3: That was good.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Oh wasn't it though?
- 26:54Speaker 1: That's not what the Scottish lady said, but it wasn't
- 26:57Speaker 1: the word.
- 26:57Speaker 2: She Yeah, the Swifts.
- 27:00Speaker 3: So when we talk about that because twenty goal difference, yes,
- 27:04Speaker 3: there's a change being made. We've spoken about it endlessly.
- 27:07Speaker 3: One player though, Sam Wallace, Joseph. One player not there
- 27:12Speaker 3: does not equate to a twenty goal loss. They don't
- 27:16Speaker 3: look like they're finding form. And I thought that game,
- 27:19Speaker 3: particularly against the Vicents because it's the team they match
- 27:21Speaker 3: up on so well, was going to be a really
- 27:24Speaker 3: really close game and a really critical game in terms
- 27:27Speaker 3: of their season as well. So really disappointing to see
- 27:29Speaker 3: from them. And it's sad because all the talk last
- 27:32Speaker 3: week after that game was that the pressure was off,
- 27:34Speaker 3: they were happier, they were enjoying what they're doing and
- 27:37Speaker 3: it felt like the win was close, didn't it.
- 27:39Speaker 1: So the Vixens keep the Sergeant mckinnes's cup.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Yep, what is the Sergeant mckinnes's cup.
- 27:43Speaker 1: It's a cup named after two greats from Victoria, New
- 27:47Speaker 1: Southwest and Sergeant and Samoe mckinnons.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Oh okay, so it's not like such.
- 27:51Speaker 3: I can't sorry.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I thought it was like Sergeant.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Dribblers and I had a great time on Facebook on
- 28:02Speaker 2: the weekend though, while you two were on the piss
- 28:03Speaker 2: after the game talking about your Sergeant Pepper's outfit.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I know, did you notice me on the piece? I
- 28:08Speaker 1: was holding a bottle of sparkling.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Mineral water And the only reason I was on the
- 28:13Speaker 3: piss is because the bar was right next to where
- 28:15Speaker 3: we were hosting, and I was staring at it the
- 28:17Speaker 3: entire my game.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Sometimes I find myself accidentally drinking too. But no, we
- 28:24Speaker 2: are having such a great time in Facebook and on
- 28:26Speaker 2: the Instagram page Dribblers. If you are listening and you're
- 28:29Speaker 2: not in either of those communities, please do get on
- 28:32Speaker 2: board and join us, because there's some really interesting conversations
- 28:35Speaker 2: going on there, some good hanging shit on CAF and
- 28:38Speaker 2: Liz too, which I enjoy. But we're just getting some
- 28:41Speaker 2: really nice comments, and you know one we've had through
- 28:42Speaker 2: this week, and I'm excited about this. Leanne and I
- 28:45Speaker 2: need you, I need your sister. I need you to
- 28:47Speaker 2: back me. Alianne Bruce from Western Australia says, Hey, Carolyn Swindell,
- 28:50Speaker 2: hope you have a fab time when you visit Perth
- 28:52Speaker 2: for the Fever Versus Giants game. I may be lucky
- 28:55Speaker 2: enough to be one of the bench officials for that game.
- 28:57Speaker 2: If so, I'll be keeping an eye out for you
- 28:59Speaker 2: in your orange top. Yes, thank you, Leanne. My orange
- 29:02Speaker 2: top and my humiliating headwear too. So I feel like
- 29:07Speaker 2: I'm moving into friendly territory.
- 29:09Speaker 3: There, Caroline. How's this though? Peter Stewart has a messaged
- 29:13Speaker 3: as saying she was impressed with the amount of socks
- 29:14Speaker 3: you paired in the short video that you put on Facebook.
- 29:17Speaker 3: She wants to know what's going on there, though.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Well, So, I have gone to the bottom of the
- 29:23Speaker 2: laundry basket at my house. I bottomed out. It was
- 29:25Speaker 2: for about fifteen seconds before my son came in and
- 29:28Speaker 2: threw something in the laundry, but fortunately he threw it
- 29:30Speaker 2: on the laundry floor, not in the basket, so it
- 29:32Speaker 2: was still empty. But I've gone through every sock in
- 29:36Speaker 2: the house and I've still got twenty two unmatched socks.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Where do they go? How does this happen. People come
- 29:43Speaker 2: home with them on their feet. Right, So, somewhere in
- 29:46Speaker 2: my house a twenty two unmatched shock. I've checked the
- 29:50Speaker 2: vacuum cleaner. They're not sucked up in there. It's what's going.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Have you checked behind the washing machine?
- 29:55Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good idea. That sounds like it's going
- 29:57Speaker 2: to be dirty and i'd need to clean it. Is
- 29:59Speaker 2: this an unfamiliar syndrome to YouTube?
- 30:01Speaker 3: Well, twenty two is like if I miss one sock,
- 30:04Speaker 3: then there's issues.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Now Catherine has issues around clear She's the cleanest, tidiest
- 30:08Speaker 1: person I know. Carolyn. I would we would get to
- 30:10Speaker 1: twenty two in our house, like easily. My son gets home,
- 30:14Speaker 1: he's eight, he goes outside and plays. He'll take his
- 30:17Speaker 1: shoes off, he'll take his socks off. When we had
- 30:20Speaker 1: a dog, the dog used to eat the occasional sock.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I reckon he's probably got twenty two unmatched like single
- 30:26Speaker 1: socks just by himself. I've got a husband who's a farmer.
- 30:30Speaker 1: God knows where he leaves his socks. He also has
- 30:32Speaker 1: sock protectors and he wears over his socks that probably
- 30:36Speaker 1: are a sexy as you might think they might be.
- 30:38Speaker 3: And has nothing sexy sounding protectors.
- 30:43Speaker 1: My mom was making him sock protectors and it just
- 30:45Speaker 1: stops him getting farmer's friends in his socks. Right, It's
- 30:49Speaker 1: like a little skirt and he puts it. It's got
- 30:51Speaker 1: like a lastic bit on top, and he pulls it
- 30:52Speaker 1: up and puts it on the top of his sock,
- 30:54Speaker 1: and then the little material goes out and sits over
- 30:56Speaker 1: the top down onto his boots and protects his little
- 30:59Speaker 1: sockis sexy.
- 31:00Speaker 2: As I thought even before it was explained.
- 31:02Speaker 3: But now where master solers, Maybe we need to make
- 31:04Speaker 3: him some no dribble.
- 31:07Speaker 2: What a great idea because people are getting around these
- 31:10Speaker 2: swee cheeses.
- 31:10Speaker 1: You know that, don't you, So no dribble sock protectors.
- 31:14Speaker 1: I'll take off on the land. I'll tell you, farmers
- 31:16Speaker 1: will be all over them. Guys. We don't love soft
- 31:19Speaker 1: protectors unless they're no dribble soft protectors, and that's potentially
- 31:22Speaker 1: down the track. But we do love Lizzie twelve. She's
- 31:25Speaker 1: listening from the UK. She's a super netball fan, I mean,
- 31:28Speaker 1: and she's got a cool as name like Lizzie. She
- 31:30Speaker 1: says she feels about this podcast the way Cat feels
- 31:35Speaker 1: about Georgie Horges.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Oh, that's so nice compliment. We love to hear that.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Lizzie. I just have to I
- 31:44Speaker 2: just have to talk a little bit about the scrunchy
- 31:45Speaker 2: for a moment. Not not our scrunchy necessarily, but just
- 31:48Speaker 2: some general scrunchy information. I've had a note from Louise Wood,
- 31:52Speaker 2: who is a primary school teacher, early primary school, I
- 31:54Speaker 2: think she does Year one, and she was telling me
- 31:57Speaker 2: that kids are giving each other scrunchies to signal friendship.
- 32:00Speaker 2: So I guess they have Matt team scrunchy. So it's
- 32:02Speaker 2: like an early childhood gang patch now, I guess. So
- 32:07Speaker 2: tell me that that's not cool about the scrunchy, caf
- 32:10Speaker 2: Come on, what if.
- 32:10Speaker 3: You had lots of friends and yet would your ponytails
- 32:13Speaker 3: stick up like that in a direction? No, I don't know.
- 32:16Speaker 3: You've got like ten of them on there.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So we've been very long hair for that one. But
- 32:20Speaker 2: we heard from Nigel Brown, who is of course the
- 32:22Speaker 2: father of Lily, who is our West Australian wind beneath
- 32:25Speaker 2: our wing er, and he has said that Lily might
- 32:30Speaker 2: not wear the scrunchy because she's in her early twenties.
- 32:33Speaker 3: So Mike drop, That's what I'm saying.
- 32:38Speaker 2: People, Do we have a nomination for wind Beneath Our
- 32:42Speaker 2: Wings this week? And all this is exciting? Will it
- 32:44Speaker 2: come from one of the states or territories currently unrepresented
- 32:48Speaker 2: on the podium of the Wind Beneath Our Wings Recognition Drive.
- 32:52Speaker 2: That sounds boring, doesn't it?
- 32:54Speaker 1: The circle of love.
- 32:56Speaker 3: Not only do we have one from a state that
- 32:59Speaker 3: we didn't have before, South Australia. It is also a
- 33:03Speaker 3: voice note. Oh, this person's goal start a big gold stars.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Okay are we ready? Yeah?
- 33:10Speaker 4: Hi guys, and my name's Katala and I'm here with
- 33:12Speaker 4: a wind Beneath the Wings. This one is for a
- 33:15Speaker 4: lady called Michelle who's in South Australia. She's part of
- 33:19Speaker 4: the Kangarilla Netbook Club in the Adelaide Hills. It's a
- 33:22Speaker 4: small country town club, so volunteers are worth their weight
- 33:25Speaker 4: in gold. And Michelle takes on so many roles and
- 33:29Speaker 4: she does it all behind the scenes, not expecting any
- 33:32Speaker 4: thanks or congratulations. She just works quietly in the background,
- 33:36Speaker 4: making sure that everything just runs smoothly. She's one of
- 33:39Speaker 4: the most empathetic, kind and supportive people I know, she's
- 33:43Speaker 4: almost like an unofficial counselor at the club. She takes
- 33:47Speaker 4: on so many roles like recording secretary, vice president, uniforms,
- 33:51Speaker 4: merch team manager, canteen. She's a player herself, and she's
- 33:55Speaker 4: also taking on a coaching role, and from what I hear,
- 33:58Speaker 4: she's doing an amazing job. She deserves this recognition because
- 34:01Speaker 4: she's not the sort to ever ask for it, and
- 34:03Speaker 4: I'm just so grateful for her. So thank you, Michelle.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Ah amazing, Michelle Chell, you are the wing beneath our wings.
- 34:14Speaker 1: That is amazing.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Certainly are Katala. I loved that. That was so nice
- 34:18Speaker 2: to hear it in your words and your voice and
- 34:20Speaker 2: to really hear what Michelle means to you and the club.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Well done, Michelle Meal, Fat Scrunchy coming your way.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Poorly sown amateur production, but with love and respect, it
- 34:34Speaker 2: will be coming your way. Thanks Michelle.
- 34:36Speaker 3: Dribbles of one.
- 34:37Speaker 2: And now we have South Australia so I can put
- 34:38Speaker 2: another pin in the map that is hanging on the
- 34:41Speaker 2: wall of my office. We now have only Tazzy Act
- 34:46Speaker 2: and the Northern Territory unrepresented, so Dribblers get around it.
- 34:50Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean we can only get nominations from
- 34:53Speaker 2: those places, does it?
- 34:54Speaker 3: And after that we're going global.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Nice. It's very good. World dominating, world domination of beneath
- 35:00Speaker 2: our wings?
- 35:01Speaker 1: Can we afford postal global the postage? You know.
