  Speaker 1: Do do? Another one bites the dust do do? And
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: another one gone and another one gone. Yes, there are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: now two teams. So the five Birds have joined the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Giants as being completely unable to join the top four
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the finals. I'm just distracted by God, he's got a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: hand over her mouth. Now maybe she's gesturing at me
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to stop seeing. I will do that. You're with No
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Dribble strap in. Hello and welcome to No Dribble, the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: podcast where we talk about netbul. We talk about so
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: much more. I've already told you who our surprise guest is,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but let's go through the formalities. Anyway. I'm Caroline's Mendel.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And I was ready.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I thought she was preferring to me hitting fifty.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, just ring in a completely different direction. Ah, because
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of Nepple.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Who would have thought? Who would have thought it would
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: be about netble? But we did, you know? I mean,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: round round ten was the Delta Goudrom. Round Round eleven
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is obviously the Catherine Cox round because it was your
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: birthday yesterday, Happy birthday.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yes today? And you know what's funny about that song?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So I just did a post for the GRAM and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I was trying to choose a song and I thought
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I would do another one Byeza, dust but I didn't.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: You went.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: You went with Taylor Swift. Did you ready for it?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: But no, I was thinking of putting that on there,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: so that's funny. But yeah, it was a fabulous day.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Not gonna lie a little dusty this morning, Dusty. Very
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: hard to do a podcast the day after that, Yeah
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we did. We did wrap up about seven and a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: half hours after we started lunch, so it was a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: good long day.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Still by about six pm and in bed by eight.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was great. I was in bed just
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: before nine, actually after I had my advil and all
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: those sorts of things that I needed to work.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: No, no, yes, So we were there until eight thirty
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I think. And then yeah, you did. You did very well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and people, as was appropriate, people came from all around
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to celebrate you. And I think that's bloody lovely.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And I need to say a big thank you to
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you too, because whilst the really genuine nice tributes were there,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: they made me freaking uncomfortable. I'm far I know, I
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: don't like it at all. I'm far more comfortable when
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: people are taking the piss and you two did that,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: but you did it with a nice It was a
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: nice balance. So Carolyn, obviously she did our the speech
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: at the lunch and everybody was in stitches. That's nice,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yes it was. It was good, but it was a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: lovely balance of being genuine and then taking the piece
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: makes me far more comfortable. And then Sue Gordion made
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: up a whole song with the health of Ai.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Taylor Swift, we have Sue Gordion from the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Wild West, who's now writing songs. Possible talent do that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I was lying in bed when I did that. Actually,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I just had this little thought of been playing around
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: with Ai, the future of this great world. Yeah, so
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I just had a bit of fun and I put
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in I'd put in a whole bunch of things about you,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and just said write me some lyrics, and literally that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that was the first attempt at the lyrics. It was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the first attempt at the lyrics.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So let me play a little bit of it. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: won't play the whole song, but I will just I'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: play a little bit of it. Here we go, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Alex will just drop it in properly because this is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: obviously half fast swindellisms, but starts beautifully emotionally it's like.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: She's been around the game long enough.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Frozen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was very frozen.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Men swings and when a team's about to go from
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the shooting circle to the common.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Teery chair, common teary chair, still sees the play before
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it happens out there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Twelve years holding the games played mark.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: A record built on ye we did actually had a yesterday.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Narromald that ache and George just taking that crowd.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: And caf was classy as she handed it down.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Still the first, still, the first, still the one that
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: stood to smile.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: And give you what you need. Happy fifty Foxy, you
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: raise a glass tonight.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to fight now. It's so good.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Pissed myself laughing. And so the highlight was the very
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: end bit and tonight and then I'm like, here we go. Pause.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved it. Mandy, who we were with a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: fox sent through the video and it was so nice
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: because obviously I couldn't get there, and but just to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: watch everyone's facial expressions, but just yours at different times,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: because I know you hate that real limelight spotlight sort
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of scenario, and so I was watching your face go
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: through cringe to oh that's nice too. But then just
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that end bit, I thought, oh god, she'll die and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I was so like, I've forgotten who was going to be.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Then I'm like, oh, your mom's there and like waiting
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for a husband, and I was like, oh my goodness.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Anything it was so I love. I said, I'm far
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: more comfortable when people are taking the piss out of me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I'd much prefer that than anything else. It's funny, though,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: because as soon as we walked in, I had a
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: little board up. You know, there's light boards and you
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can put the letters in there and make the things up.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So I had two options. I was going to have
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: holy crap, she's fifty, but I had the f u
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: c K as an option. I said to mom, how
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: do you feel about swearing today? SHEA, I know, whatever's necessary.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not wrong, so I've changed it straight away. She
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: heard a fair few F bombs.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god, I must apologize to your mother.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I've got a bit loose in my speech and did
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: drop a few F bombs there. I'm sorry. She loved it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: She was caffingersel. It was a lot of fun though.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It was very good. But this I can add something
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: new to my list of achievements. Now I have been
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: coached by Julia Fitzgerald. So I arrived yesterday, wanted up
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to say hello to her, and she said, I've got
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a bone to pick with you. It's like, oh, terrific.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite way to start a conversation. Obviously, But
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: apparently last week in last week's episode, I said the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Giants came last last year. Now I don't think I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: would have said that, but I haven't bothered to check.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And if Julie says it happened, then it happened. But
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I know that the Giants one five out of their
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: six games and fought their way back to six. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that's why I've always loved you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Know that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I thought they were such a little brave team last year,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm hoping they get some of those rewards this year.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But Julie Fitzgerald, I am sorry, and if I did
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: say that incorrectly, I would like to correct the record.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I thought the Giants were magnificent last year, and they
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: did not come last.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Can I add to that? I was having a conversation
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: with her just before I left. So Jules has been
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: brought out of retirement. She's coaching a team at senior
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: state titles. What you've agreed to? Her daughter said, Oh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: if you're going to coach, I'll come and play for
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you and I'll be one of your shooters. And Jules
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: is like, okay, great, so we've got one. Vicki is
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: not a shooter who's signed up to do it. They
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: have not got another one. No one else has agreed
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: They don't have a shooting well.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: She agreed three other people in the room and still
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: hadn't bothered. And I heard this conversation. I was like,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Julie Fitzgerald, why have you not asked me? And she said,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: would you play? Not the point?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Why have you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Not ask me? She asked Sarah Barrett, she asked Julia
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Simon's X swift shooter, she asked Jane Oldschwager X swift Shooter,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: she asked Sarah Barrett X Swift's mid quarter before she
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: asked me. Anyway, she did ask me, and then she
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: was telling the story and how it's going to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: so much fun and blah blah blah. And I can
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: see why Casey came out of retirement. I can see
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: because she's very persuasive. Oh really, yeah, yeah, I said,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: how many games are there? And do I have to
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: play in Ashvilt. She's like, well, there's only twelve games, Okay,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you won't have to play all of them. You can
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: just stand in the circle and hold. And I said,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: what surface is it Ashvilt?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You were very close though I was, but I did
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: literally manipulating myself. So Julie's definitely going to come along
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to our Penrith event. I may have said that you'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: play for her if she comes to the event, but
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I can't remember.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I was considering it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But I can't even believe Julie even bothered. I thought
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: she would have known you well enough that no amount
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of persuasion would have got you across the line. Well, maybe.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: People just want to be asked.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I think Julie is going to ask Irene van Dyke.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah we did. We did, say, I asked, will pass
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the hat around?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That'd be great? Then how good Irene looks?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I know, Well, this is why it came up.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: She looks for her and it kills the Gordy sneer
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: when she talks about how good Irene. No a bit seriously,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: she's just missed life and it's a bit crazy, isn't it,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Because she's a long time attired and loves it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so fit.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: She's a dribbler. So dribblers are in good company with
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Irene van Dyke and her lovely daughter Bianca.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Irene, if you're listening and you're enjoying your coronas
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: that's how thing eyes and I like a corona together.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Very The one thing I would like to specifically talk
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: about from the weekend though, Catherine, and you know, there's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: some good about not having lived your twenties and your
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: thirties in the public eye. Your sister Sarah did a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: lovely job with a photo montage and we got to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: see a great procession of lovely haircuts.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Catherine ends. The worst one was that when it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: super short and I had the super short fringe as well.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: When that came up, the entire room pissed themselves laughing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: That one, Kather reminds me of the old lego pieces,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you know, the lego humans. Yeah, there's got that little
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you know, straight across the head.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: What it is, just take it off and put it
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: on the next person, and then every other set, well,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: every second photo of me too. I had an alcoholic
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: beverage of some sort in my hand. Oh my god,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it's just a flurry of bad hairdoos and drinks.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: But beautiful inside and out always Catherine. So happy birth. Johh,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you both you here, but you're not
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: really very but sure no.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I know could be thirty four.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks very mu quickly. Do you feel any different?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: No, I and I didn't think I would. I had
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: severe imposter syndrome. Yesterday though it just felt weird. I'm like,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: how'm or fifty? I was always the young one and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: then suddenly you're not. I said to mom too, we're
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: having breakfast in the morning, like, how do you feel
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: about your youngest child when fifty? That's really off?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It is great, reminded to your mother.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Anyway, it was a good day, and thank you too
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: for knowing me better than everybody else appreciate it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so good, very very fun. But we're just feeling
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit of it. You've brought over a snack
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: for me, though, and this is part of one of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: your birthday gifts, and this one Kiwi dribblers will will
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: know this one the Perkin Nana. So have you ever
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: had the Perkin Narana? I'm not yeah, you're a big fan, Catherine.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan, and I wonder you know
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it's an artificial banana flavor when they made that, had
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: anyone in that process ever tried an actual banana. It
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: tastes absolutely nothing like banana.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: The other day, Cat, sorry, just quickly, what was that
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: lolly you said I'll try one of these at commentary?
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a peeler and that's banana.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That tastes like baby pooh. I'll be honest with you,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that wasn't so.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the peeler.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know this, tell me I'll bring you them.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: We've got a houseful of pillers. I love it. It's
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: like a banana paddle pop. No, it's just not but
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: it's not nothing. None of it tastes like real banana.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I really like that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't it?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: That?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: From so you can get a box of favorites. But
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: the New Zealand versions it's got buzz bars and fish
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and Morrow bars.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, does it have any jelly tip chocolate?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: No, that's Wittkers, isn't it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: It is?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That's true totally different brand. Yeah, good point.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It has token up.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So if you're not a fake banana fan, stay
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: well away from the perky nana. Super fun to say,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but it is, it's and it's it takes like the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the fake banana flavor and it intensifies. It's so good.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I licked my wrapping.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I love you and thank you very much for that. Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but you brought me some more birthday cake from yesterday
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate that. That was bloody delicious. But you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: something weird happened on the weekend. Apparently some netball was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: also played. Maybe we should take a short break and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: then talk about some netball done done, Okay, So yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we are getting to the business end of the season.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So I don't think it was always going to be
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: tough for the Firebirds, but they're mathematical chance of reaching
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the finals is now gone. The Lightning and the Swifts
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: are on life support. But there is still something. There
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is still a very faint pulse in their finals hopes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But you know, we are starting it's starting to firm
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: up at the top four there, I reckon.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the MAVs and our two wins in front, Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: fifth and six, Well you'd have to be feeling pretty good.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: But it depends on who they've got for the run home.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: They've got West Coast Bever next week, and they've got
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the Vixens and they've got the Firebirds, so you think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: they'd win that one. But god, it's exciting.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting round ahead this because of course Fever
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and MAVs have to play one and play one another.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: One of them has to win, and ta Birds and Vixens,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: one of them has to win, and they're largely irrelevant
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: now I think, apart from the to themselves Thunderbirds and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Vixens about who ends up first. But that Fever MAVs one,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that's a really interesting, interesting one, and so the Swifts.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I was going to say with that, Yeah, just with
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that Fever maps because I think Fever play Fever play
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: mAbs and then Giants and then Vixens. So the MAVs
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and the Fever have a very similar run home in
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: terms of obviously playing each other. One's playing Giants and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Firebirds both have to play Vixens, so that sort of
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and if it turns out that they're they're the three
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and four, that pre Limb final hosting I think is
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: still up for graps.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I noticed on the weekend, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's been there or if it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: become far more of a chat in these the recent
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks looks like people are playing for big margins. Now, Yeah,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: you know, because the percentage is going to be so important,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and the Thunderbirds smash their game, so they've really boosted
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: their percentage. But it could well come down to that,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: couldn't it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: It's not going to make much difference for that. I mean,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it might make a difference for the Thunderbirds, but certainly Lightning, Swifts,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: mAbs and Fever like they've got to keep an eye
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: on that as well as their position on the table. Right,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So Fever on twenty eight, so Thunderbirds and Vixens are
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: both on forty, with the Thunderbirds ahead. Fever's on twenty eight,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: maps are on twenty four, then Lightning and Swifts are
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on sixteen. So you know, if Fever wins this week
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and Lightning and or Swift's win their game, then we're
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: starting to see Fever on thirty two, maps on twenty four,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Lightning and Swifts and or Swift's on twenty and so
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: things start to start to look like there's a competition
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: on for that fourth place spot. But if the MAVs
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: win this weekend, I think the Lightning and Swifts are
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: both out. I think that sort of makes it unattainable
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: for them, but very exciting. So in the finals one.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Place four yep, no, one place two one week.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Who and then that whoever loses that gets a second
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: crack at it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: And they will play three plays four in the first
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: week as well. Whoever win with those plays the loser
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: of one versus two the following week.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's interesting. You're almost better off to come third,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: aren't you, because then you'll get the home final.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Well no, but then if you lose your auns human
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: otional finals, so you definitely want the top two. Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: what's interesting, I think, And I was thinking about this yesterday. Actually,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: if with the Thunderbirds and Vixen's ideally will play off
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: on ideally likely will play off first and second. Let's
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: say Thunderbirds host that first game and Vixen's obviously Melbourne.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I want to say Vixen's Melbourne have the Grand Final,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and so let's just say the Vixens don't win that,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: so Thunderbirds go straight in Vixen's then go into a
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: prelim final against whoever like desperate to win obviously because
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: that opportunity to play at home. So for me, it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: so important that the Vixen's land on top of the ladder.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's a slippery slope possibility if they don't.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Vixen's probably want that home grand
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: advantage in the first final. It's not to say that
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: they won't get there, but then you also it's eight
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: for them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you also as a fan though, don't want that
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: because then there's two finals in Melbourne where it'd be
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: nice to be able to share it around a little
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: bit during those Dames.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, but yeah, this person you want it all and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you want to be sleeping in your bed.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: The entire time. Yep, absolutely well, although Vixen's, you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: last year, nothing was easy for it couldn't given that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: was the best thing, wasn't it. So what was the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: game of the round that we've just had from from
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: your perspective.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Certainly wasn't the one that I did.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It was tough, was tough.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: It was a thirty three goal blowout. Thunderbirds did not
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: drop a quarter obviously with a margin like that the
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: second quarter twenty two to five five and the Giants'
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: lowest ever quarter score and then thirty seven, their lowest
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: ever game score.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So of the clubs, the made thirty seven in the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: first two quarters. Yeah, Giants made thirty seven in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: whole game.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable. So it was not a great game. But I
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: just kept thinking, Oh my god, what do they have
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to do to find a win? You want them to
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: get a win, right, like you have to go through
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: a season without a win? Would be the hardest thing.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: One win. Where is it coming though? If they are
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: only allowed one win as a club, where do you
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: think they would want to have it? Because I reckon
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: where they'd want to have it?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Round Rome?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they play the Swifts too.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if the Swifts like that's their opportunity
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to win through to a final and the Giants have
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to play them like that, would that would
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: be their best time to get their first win?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: True? But at the same time, imagine if Swifts have
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: no chance of making the final and going and underestimate
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and Giants are looking for their first win, that's where
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: it likely comes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Interesting, girls, do you know on the weekend. That the closest.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I think this will be the biggest when I say
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: blowout round The closest score from the weekend was ten ten.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, double games at the margin of ten.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Now was that the same last week? Remember we were
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: talking about blowouts? Or was that the week before?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: No, it was it was last week Thunderbirds Mavericks was
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: for the difference.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was one. Might have been the week it
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: was the week before. Every game was a blowout. The
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: closest was four times.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, having been a really close comp so far, so
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that was grand. That was round ten, Round nine, Round nine.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I think the game of the round was the mAbs Lightning.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It probably held it there for the even but.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: In terms of importance too, right, like that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Was and mAbs won. That game was zero supershots, I believe,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: which I think is really interesting, right, and you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Lightning Lightning were for the first half, but then it
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: really started to run away with them. So Mad's one
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: quarter three seventeen to twelve, quarter four nineteen to twelve.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Lizzie Watson was interviewed at the back of the
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: game and she actually made comment about the fact that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: their first half was exactly the lightning they believe they are,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and then the second half was the lightning that they're
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: trying to get rid of. And I'm I just thought
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it was a really interesting summary. Right, They've got this vision,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and they've got an understanding of the sort of team
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: that they know they're capable of being, but their ability
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to do it consistently. They did it last week, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: this week, just their ability to do it consistently week
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: to week is a problem. And again have to beg
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the question their list is undeniable, so I just find it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And do you know what. I was having a side
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: conversation with someone where they said, oh, you know, lightning, Like,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: what the hell's going on? And I actually made an
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: excuse for them, and I said, I think people have
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: underestimated that Kara cone and has only just stepped out
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: into goal attack and that she was a dominant force
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: at shooter, and so it's taken her while to craft
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: out this new role at goal attack, et cetera, et cetera.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: And then they haven't really probably had the switch up
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that they had hoped for in Gabby Sinclair. And then
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the coverage opened and I think it was Kira commentating,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and then her between her and Kattu eviting. They went
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: on to say that Carra Conan has the best stats
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: of any goal in the leg points yeah and everything
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: like goal yeah killing it so not necessarily volume at
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the post, and that's probably a little bit of the problem. Yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the Lightning is just that imbalance, and I guess Danelle
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Wallam's not yet showing capability of being like the janeal Fowler.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: You know, he's going to say it's similar to a
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: lot of goal attacks. But the problem is you're not
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: having Danel Wallam with the volume.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: That she's probably a little bit inconsistent and missing some
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: of the shots. But yeah, I was like, oh sorry, Cara.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I was probably like I was giving her an excuse.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: But then the girls were sort of saying just how
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: well she has done, which is great, but again doesn't
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: speak to the just the like it's poor form, like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it's if you were one of the players. And when
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: we talk about it, the leaders that sit within the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Lightning not being able to solve that problem is concerning.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And it feels like that's a couple of seasons in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a row, too, doesn't it So? And I know that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: there are adjustments being made I'm also curious to see, like,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I know how they are really blessed at the defense end,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: but ash Evan has been given virtually no time and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I sort of and I know that each Super Netball
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: coach's responsibility is to win that season. But when you've
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: got diamonds squad members and invitees in your own squad
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and they're not getting caught, I just I feel like
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: there's a heavier weight of responsibility if you've got those
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: diamonds to have to do something for them for their career.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: You to me and I know, nah, I reckon.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I think the weight of responsibility sits on Ash, right,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: So what the conversations had she would have she should
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: have known. I won't say she would have known. She
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: should have known that Courtney Bruce was still going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: hold down that goalkeeper position. Yeap irrespective right, and she
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: probably would have had insight to the recruitments that were
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: going on, or if she didn't, her management, that's her
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: management's job. Ash should have moved and had every club
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: in the league coming at her, and she chose to stay.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, But this is interesting because every single player is
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: off contract at the end of this season. This to me,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: will be a very very interesting player movement period. Because
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we brought this up when we were chatting about the
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Giants game on the weekend. How many of those Giants
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: want to stay there? How many of just seeing a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: sinking sheep and want they get the hell out of there?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: You know, it'll be really interesting. And then for players
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: like Ash, for players like I don't know, like a
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Siff Sandholt, because I know she's great, but she's on
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the bench. Someone would desperately love to have her. There's
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: going to be definitely some players that I think are
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: poached and that should consider moving, and everyone's going to
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: be in that boat. But it becomes that, I mean
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: when we talked about this last time it happened. It's
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: also the flow on effect, isn't it like your first
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: selection to to any team whoever that is who then
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: else goes there and who else is built around that player,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: So it's almost like moving all your chest pieces until
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: you find out what club is best for you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: And I remember when Giants signed Lucy Austin last year,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I thought genius, absolutely fantastic. Now she had a rough
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the rounds she did play, she just didn't seem to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: be herself or whatever and then obviously is this injury
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and is out there but you know that's bloody hard
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: too that but that to me looked like that's a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: really smart signing.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And it's just I just on the weekend, just from
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: someone that's sat in the chair of recruitment for five years.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It is a really tough job and the decision making
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: is not singular, and I think this is the evolution
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of our sport, which I think is great. But player
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: movement is so much more than what we as fans,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: you as fans just see on a day to day
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: basis on the court.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: There is yeah, gone, no, no, Well, I wanted to
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: ask you a question about how how hard it is
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: because I would imagine a lot of player managers have
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: got their player having discussions with four or five clubs.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And sadly, and I do mean this sadly, a lot
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: of the pain and angst in recruitment sits behind very
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: little dollar caf Like you can be negotiating one or
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: two thousand dollars difference for a play to move across
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the country, like from west to east, east to west,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: north to south or whatever. It's not a lot. So
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I guess when you're building recruitment, you're trying to build
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: a picture that's far beyond the salary that the player
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: might be receiving. And that and Carolyn, that comes back
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to what were those conversations that ash Irvin was having,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: because I imagine it would have been more than just court
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: time unless that's all she's pursuing. If that's what she's pursuing,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: she was being offered that in a lot of other places,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and in my opinion, she should have got up and gone.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: But what else is on offer? And the modern day
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: athlete there needs to be a lot more offer well being,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: their livelihood, their life balance, their connections, combinations. Who's the coach,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: what's the experience of the coach? And you know that's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: going to be something that I think the Giants are
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: going to probably struggle with. Narrator doesn't have runs on
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the board. She's a first year coach who's going to
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: go to the Giants. There's going to have to be
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of convincing what's the coaching staff and the
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: high performance system that sits around narrative that's going to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: convince an athlete that that's where my future is moving
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to the big city, right, like so.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Much expensive too, that going to be bugger all and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: moved to the most expensive city and one of the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: most expensive cities in the world.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: They do need to I feel like they do need
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: to start with the marquee signing though. That's going to
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: be their first thing right to draw people. Otherwise it's
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: not happening. But the problem with that is you lose
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: half your dollar on that marketing side.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Every club's recruitment strategy will be different, and every year
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: it's slightly different. But when it becomes I think, well,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: when it becomes most crucial is this period now where
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: we're moving into all athletes going off contract. I want
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to say again, I think I actually might have been
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: on We might have spoken. I think about this historically.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: It is by far the worst period of time in
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: our sport, because no other sport experiences this where all
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: eighty athletes go off contract. And it's not just the
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: athletes that are going through the pain, it is the clubs,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: it is the recruiters. Like I can tell you it
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: was the most stressful time twice I had to do
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: this in a five year period where all athletes came
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: off contract. Horrific. Never want to do it again. Couldn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: be happier that it's not in my hands going into
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: this period. It will be bad and there will be movement.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: There is no two ways about it. There will be movement,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and it's an ugly period.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Coaches who have like, are any of them lost star?
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: As I know? The only one is Kitty Wills is
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: signed beyond this season. She's signed through to twenty seven.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Hasn't she yes?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Period?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: But he hasn't yet.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know about anyone else.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Because that's interesting too, because it's like, well, then how
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: do they do? Like I think it's been really interesting
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to watch them MAVs because of course Jereed Murphy came
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: in and it's like, here's your team, got it and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it seems to be working exceptionally well, and you know
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that's as much the hims as the players by watching
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the way he coaches and things. But it's like, surely,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: ideally you sign your coach first and then the players
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: know who they're sorry you well, ideally you do, but again,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like from experience, it just doesn't always work
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: like that. We're not this this is a systematic problem
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: we're not blessed with and with a multitude of experience
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: coaches at this level, which is a really exciting thing
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: for the sport to try and grow this space. But
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: at the same time, we're not talking about huge wages either,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so moving coaches or families, like if it's a female coach,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: their husband might be.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: A higher bread winner than you're asking that to shift. Like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: there's so many dynamics that sit behind the coach. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: then the timing of it. Our sport doesn't sack coaches
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: mid season, not like the AFL, right, and sometimes boards
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: don't make decisions probably in timeframes that they should, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: so clubs are often left on the back foot. And
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: then recruitment timelines have varied historically. They've got a little
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: bit more stable recently. But the recruitment process doesn't start
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: when the window opens. The recruitment process starts twelve or
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: twenty four months beforehand. So when you're bringing in a coach,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: they have to trust the recruitment system.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Who pays the coach the club, so it's not the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: salary cap that pays only Yeah, okay, so they can
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: be signed. That's why Kitty Wills assigned above and beyond
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: this particular broadcast.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: He or she would have had to add a cause
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: in her contract that said something along the lines of,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: if league doesn't exist beyond this point, they're not really
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: to pay her for a job that you can't pay
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: for a job you're not doing, or we'll find you
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: an alternative job or whatever it might be, which is
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: no different to what the Players Association and clubs are wanting,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: which is this ability to sign athletes over extended periods
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and across broadcasts and collective players sorry and CPA deals.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: At the moment, we don't have that, so we end
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: up getting to this period where all eighty players come
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: off contract as opposed to this ability to go in
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: early and lock a player for an extended period like
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: for a lifetime contract, you know, and have clauses in
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: there that allow sort of you know, I guess curveballs
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: to occur, but everyone to be protected through the process.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: She just we're lucky to have you, Gordy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: We always have such fascinating conversations when you are here
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: because you bring a totally different perspective. So we have
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to take a little break in a second. But we
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: haven't talked about the most important comp which of course
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: is the Dribbler's Tip and comp, and there was a
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: really exclusive two exclusive groups on the weekend. We had
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: one person get six. So one person managed to pick
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: all five games, get the bonus point, and pick the
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: margin of thirty three goals. Yes, yes, a tip of
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: named Aanda, who is our tipper of the week and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: wins the Vala fifty dollars voucher. But the second most
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: exclusive group three people three got zero this week, yours truly,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Nikki Kolmo Buckley who is making a tray for the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Golden Turkey, and Bob Javitt. So I feel an extraordinarily
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: good company there this week.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I do seriously try well.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I tipped what I would love to have seen happen
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: on the weekend, so you know I didn't. Yeah, I'm
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: not surprised that this was not a stellar tipping round
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: for me. But I will tell you because I am
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: sitting in seventh out of eighth places in our Hosts
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and Heroes tipping comp that I know my season is
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: pretty well done. So let me tell you. We have
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: two people in the comp on outright first. Now, these
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: are the proper people, not like our Hosts and Heroes diletons,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: but Firstborns and Off to the Pub are an equal
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: first position on forty eight points. Now, to put it
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: in context, Darryl Milton, who is at the top of
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Host and Heroes, is only on forty three, so
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: we are dealing with some people class were significantly better
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: than us. So anyway, those two are pulling ahead at
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the moment because then in second place we've got three
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: people on forty six points, so Devo two nine to two,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: thundering all the way and CJ. But so we've seen
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Firstborns and Off to the Pub starting to get a
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: bit of a lead there. And okay, so in Hosts
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and Heroes, what's happened there's been a bit of movement
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: this week. Gordy, you've moving up in the ranks.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Ever, remember who I tipped?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: She does it every week, doesn't tips, and then puts
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: it on video and it's always different. Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Well, and this week I did actually have a look
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: at what you and Daryl were tipping, and they're like,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I don't change mine on the basis of it, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what people who are actually trying
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to tip properly do. But Daryl the stats man, Milton
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: is sitting on forty three, and we haven't tasked Darryl
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: with any jobs in a few weeks, so he's obviously
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: got way too much time on his hands to be
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: looking at netball. So maybe we need to give him
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: some job back. You can we do? You are in
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: second place outright, second place on forty one.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: How many toothpicks in one of the little jars that
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: you get from a supermarket that don't have been busy
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: for a while.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Why don't you see Tim at document and ask him
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to count the eyes in it?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I think? Yeah, good, Lisa, Ba fascinators are sitting on
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: forty G train on thirty nine, so just outside of
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the podium spots at the moment. Now, Alexa, your netball bestie,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: had a shocker this round, not as you know, she's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: not an elite shocker, not a zero rank shocker. She
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: got two so the competition, so she's on thirty six.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Do you know the best part about Yeah? Do you
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: know the best part about Alexa? I just now can't
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: wait to see your social media post?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: What about to say?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Are you going to make a reel about this? S
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: she does some great stuff and if you follow Alexa
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, might suggest you do. She's at your netball
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: bestie and she's put some very entertaining stuff up.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Alexa, just put the crown on my head and be
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: done with it.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Put the craw Well, you know there's someone ahead of you.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's between Alexa.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: And Okay, all right? Interesting, So Keely Debris is sitting
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: on thirty. I'm on twenty nine and Liz, who doesn't
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: tip but just goes to the home teams, is on
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: twenty one. So very good. Things are looking interesting. But
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: just before we go to the break, further to what
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: you were saying then about players moving around, people are
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: people follow the team?
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: We get very attached to our teams. You might want
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Tom remember that when you're getting on Facebook and hanging
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: shit on people and other teams, that they might end
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: up on your team next year. True. But we have
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: a new exciting competition thanks to Allah, who of course
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: sponsored Valadribers tipping comp But this one is particularly for
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: big fans of the Thunderbirds, the Giants and the Swifts.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: So we have got signed dresses from the squads from
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: each of those teams, plus a scarf and another piece
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: of merchandise. There prize packs. Each prize pack value to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars. So if you go onto
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the Valor website and spend thirty dollars or more across
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the Swifts, Giants, Thunderbirds, Valor Active or Accessories range, you
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: go into the running to win this signed prize pack.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: And in when you're checking out, there's a little place
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to put which one you want, because what we want
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: is for these prize packs to go to a megafan
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: of the t Birds or a megafan of the Giants,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: So you just have to put Giants fans, Swifts fan
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: or Tea Birds fan at checkout. That competition will close
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: on the day of that derby between the Giants and
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: around fourteen round fourteen. But get on that because that
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: is a that's a cracking prize because we know that
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: we know well, we know that all eight teams had
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: very passionate and loyal fans.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: But and it could be one of them. A premiership
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: winning dress could cook Yeah, only I'm going to go
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: out and a limb and say one of them, but
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: that it might be pink that dress.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, So anyway, all right, let's take a quick break
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and come back. Thank you for coming back. We are
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: here in our final segment of the day, and I'm
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: going to do a little bit of a throwback for
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: us because I have shuffling through my paper a win
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Beneath Our Wings nomination.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: My wait, do we know where the scrunches are?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're They're in my sideboard, just another little no
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: dribble thing that gets to be at my house with
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the apparently the chicken that we're now going to get
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: for your eggs. But so for those dribblers who don't know,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we had a segment all through our first year and
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: it's called Win Beneath Our Wings and this was where
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you nominate people who are keeping the game alive at
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the community level, all the volunteers. So and Catherine and
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I had a lovely sewing bee with our very first producer,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Mandy and some very nice wines from Printhe and we
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: made a bunch of no dribble scrunches hand crafted and
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: by crafted, I mean half asked. Obviously these are these
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: are not terrific. And we wonder whether the Wind Beneath
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Our Wings nominations dried up because the prize was shipped,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: so maybe maybe, But anyway, this one's come out of
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the blue, and I feel like it's very deserving and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I think that we're actually going to add something to
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the scrunchy. So this one is from Rob Turzo. Hi, ladies.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to No Dribble from the very beginning
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and always look forward to my Wednesday morning drive to work.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Well Rob now Friday, all so good, fry yay. I'm
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: not sure if he's still running this segment, but I'd
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: love to nominate my wife, Jody for Wind Beneath My Wings.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: JODI's love netball from a young age. She was a
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: representative player as a teenager, even began coaching junior teams
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: back then, which looking back, feels like her true calling.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Years later, after we had our two daughters, Jody coached
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: both of them as they started their netball journeys. At
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: one point, she was coaching two teams, serving as vice
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: president of her club, and even stepped in mid season
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to take over an under seventeenth team when their coach
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: moved away. This year, as our girls have grown older
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and moved to higher grades, Jodi made the selfless decision
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: to step back from coaching so they could have every
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: opportunity to develop further. Fair enough, Jodie takes some time off,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: so I couldn't find out what association JODI's from robdin
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: right back, so I googled her and I think she's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: somewhere out Hills District way because she was on the
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: president of the Rouse Hill p and C. And it's like,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: is it not always the same people? So she's doing this,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: she's vice president, she's coaching two teams, she takes on
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: under seventeenth, she's running the p and C. It is
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: like there's six people in any community who do absolutely everything,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: and then other people go, I'm sorry, I don't have
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: an hour to work on the barbecue on the weekend.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I'm busy anyway, you might think that would mark the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: end of her coaching. Not Jodie. She's gone back to
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Friday nights to coach an under nine's net set go
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: team And my god, you want to do that on
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a Friday night so you can have a glass of
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: wine after that. Made up of the kids and the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: family she didn't previously know, just purely for the love
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of the game. She's a loyal New South Wales swift supporter.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Inspired our whole family to attend every home game for
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the past four seasons. Your impact goes way beyond our family.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: She's brought netball into our lives in a meaningful way,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: done the same for so many other families, young girls
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: she's coached and mentored over the years. There's even a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: family where Jodi coached The mother is a teenager and
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: thirty years later coached her daughter to For all of this,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I truly believe Jody is more than deserving of a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: wind beneath my wings nomination.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Ab susolute Lee.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all in favor, Bye bye, bye, thank you. Jody.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: You are the wind beneath our wings. And we're going
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: to send you a handcrafted scrunchy.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: And whatever else we can find and a fifty dollars
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: alive ouch and a Perkinana.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, and a Perkin Nana. And yeah, let's
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: send a Perkinana. You don't have to eat it, you
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: might just want to smell it and then perfect. But
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to send a wind beneath our wings nomination, Catherine,
• 42:53
