- 0:04Speaker 2: 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Five after five on this Monday morning as we kick
- 0:14Speaker 3: off yet another week here on Early Breakfast. Going for
- 0:17Speaker 3: a top of 19 degrees and partly cloudy today across Adelaide. Tomorrow,
- 0:21Speaker 3: 17 degrees, becoming cloudy. Wednesday, 16. Thursday, 19. The weekend, though,
- 0:28Speaker 3: looking awfully nice. Friday, 20 degrees and sunny. Saturday, 23 degrees,
- 0:33Speaker 3: mostly sunny. And the same again on Sunday. Currently in
- 0:37Speaker 3: the city, 8.6 degrees. Morning, Ned.
- 0:40Speaker 4: Morning, Sammy. Hello, high-fivers. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
- 0:43Speaker 4: Jam-packed show today.
- 0:44Speaker 5: We've got a.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Lot to talk about.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Plenty going on.
- 0:47Speaker 4: A lot to like, a lot to dislike. What about
- 0:50Speaker 4: those Crows, eh?
- 0:51Speaker 3: What about those Crowies? Seconds remaining. Centre wing on the
- 0:56Speaker 3: outer side.
- 0:57Speaker 6: Droughts over.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Crows win. Of course, a lot was talked about during
- 1:08Speaker 3: the week with Matty Nix, Tom Morris, the seven AFL reporter,
- 1:14Speaker 3: reporting on agenda setters Tuesday night, or Monday night or
- 1:17Speaker 3: Tuesday night. He interviewed Tex Walker post-match.
- 1:20Speaker 7: You know, we've got three more games to go, so...
- 1:22Speaker 7: Much to your disgust.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I'm happy for you.
- 1:25Speaker 7: Nixie will be here, mate. Don't worry about that.
- 1:27Speaker 3: So talk to us about the week then. You said
- 1:29Speaker 3: outside noise before we go. You bet I started it,
- 1:32Speaker 3: but that's okay. I did the news and you won
- 1:33Speaker 3: the game and congratulations for it.
- 1:35Speaker 7: And then we answered your critics, didn't we? Really, really stoked, mate.
- 1:39Speaker 4: It was awesome.
- 1:41Speaker 3: What was your take on it, Ned?
- 1:42Speaker 4: No, it was a good interview. I like the colour
- 1:45Speaker 4: of it. I like the theatre. I think that's good
- 1:46Speaker 4: for the game if it's in good spirit. Yeah, don't
- 1:51Speaker 4: put a football club in a position where they feel
- 1:53Speaker 4: like they've got their backs against the wall. We saw
- 1:55Speaker 4: it with Sydney as well.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Don't put baby in the corner.
- 1:58Speaker 4: It's just not a good idea. And I don't know
- 2:00Speaker 4: what that meant. Put baby in the corner. What's that?
- 2:02Speaker 3: It's a movie quote. Don't worry. Move on.
- 2:03Speaker 4: I like it. Sammy, it was good theatre. Another couple
- 2:08Speaker 4: of really good games in the Sandville too. It was
- 2:10Speaker 4: a weekend of footy festivities.
- 2:11Speaker 3: A lot going on. The Eagles and Glenelg. What a
- 2:14Speaker 3: finish at Lauderdale yesterday afternoon. Buda Grace, still 50 out
- 2:18Speaker 3: from goal. Handball gone from the Eagles.
- 2:19Speaker 4: To the right player.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Lions to the ankles here of McBean. It's high intensity. Bailey, Bradfield,
- 2:25Speaker 3: Buda Brown and the.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Eagles have won.
- 2:43Speaker 3: A quarter time, it was 5-3 to 1 point.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Massive comeback, wasn't it?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Massive comeback. We spoke to Rowey a three-quarter time during
- 2:51Speaker 3: the coverage, and he was just willing the boys on,
- 2:54Speaker 3: and they finally got there in the end. The second game, though,
- 2:57Speaker 3: between Sturt and the Redlegs, wasn't as... up and about
- 3:01Speaker 3: it's now.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Their third grand final in five years after they missed
- 3:07Speaker 2: last year.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Losing the preliminary final and for.
- 3:10Speaker 8: Sturd it's the long journey.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Toward the big dance Big day at the Adelaide Oval.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Great weekend of footy. Get your calls in, your thoughts
- 3:32Speaker 4: on sport.
- 3:33Speaker 3: We'd love that.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Peter from Marlston, good morning.
- 3:35Speaker 3: We've got Nostradamus on the line. Morning, Peter.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Good morning.
- 3:39Speaker 9: I did predict this. I did ignore it, and it's
- 3:42Speaker 9: broken my heart. I must say I didn't go because
- 3:45Speaker 9: I couldn't stand the tension. I think Sturt were insipid,
- 3:50Speaker 9: and to use another expression, hardly worthy of a grand
- 3:54Speaker 9: final position on that performance. Ollie Grivell, a friend of mine,
- 4:00Speaker 9: did not perform. Buzz Burrows, a friend of mine, tried valiantly.
- 4:05Speaker 9: Without Will Kumbliss and Casey Voss, Norwood would have won
- 4:10Speaker 9: by eight or nine goals. Now, the reigning Premier had
- 4:13Speaker 9: won previously eight in a row and went into the
- 4:17Speaker 9: game probably a slight underdog. Never in the game. And
- 4:22Speaker 9: the only decent football they played was after halftime. The
- 4:26Speaker 9: last quarter, has there ever been a second semi with
- 4:30Speaker 9: no goals scored? Can you look that one up, Sam?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yes, you will. Sam's shaking his head.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Peter, I love this. I love this. You called it.
- 4:40Speaker 4: You tipped it.
- 4:40Speaker 3: You're all over it.
- 4:41Speaker 10: I know, unfortunately.
- 4:43Speaker 9: I'm going to start training this week. I'm going to
- 4:45Speaker 9: rev them up because when they hear me shout, they perform.
- 4:49Speaker 9: And I'm hoping to get to the preliminary on Sunday.
- 4:52Speaker 9: And the last question is, who is the better coach?
- 4:56Speaker 9: Marty or Jade, they're both friends of mine.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Well, both great coaches. I mean, Jade's had another grand final.
- 5:02Speaker 3: What's that total, Peter?
- 5:04Speaker 4: How many grand final appearances?
- 5:06Speaker 9: I had one, two with Eagles, didn't I?
- 5:11Speaker 2: Yep.
- 5:11Speaker 9: 2020 and 2021.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Has he been to three with Norwood?
- 5:15Speaker 10: Sorry?
- 5:16Speaker 4: Has he been to three at Norwood?
- 5:18Speaker 9: No, this is their first. No, he didn't coach them
- 5:20Speaker 9: when they beat North Adelaide by a point. Who was it,
- 5:24Speaker 9: Jade Rawlings?
- 5:25Speaker 10: I can't remember.
- 5:27Speaker 4: What about their grand final two years ago appearance when
- 5:30Speaker 4: they lost and Finn Hurd went off, he had his arm?
- 5:33Speaker 9: No, he's only been there for two years. And last
- 5:35Speaker 9: year they lost to Breelium to Norwood. No, who coached
- 5:40Speaker 9: Norwood in 2024? No, that's what I'm saying.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Jade Sheedy.
- 5:44Speaker 9: No, it wasn't Jade Sheedy.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Wasn't it? Oh, well, we can do some Googling. I
- 5:47Speaker 3: don't know if people need.
- 5:48Speaker 4: To listen to this. Peter, we're in the weeds. We'll
- 5:51Speaker 4: take it offline.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Peter, seeing as you're the tipping master, mate, what's going
- 5:55Speaker 3: to happen Sunday at the Oval? Sturt and Eagles.
- 5:59Speaker 9: Well, I'm tipping the Double Blues with a heart and
- 6:01Speaker 9: a head. We beat them at Woodville or Maughan Team
- 6:05Speaker 9: Kia Oval by 26, I think. And they beat us
- 6:09Speaker 9: only by two. I think it'll be a great game.
- 6:12Speaker 9: The weather will be warm. It's going to be 25,
- 6:15Speaker 9: I think. Is that correct?
- 6:18Speaker 3: 23.
- 6:19Speaker 9: Well, 25 on Saturday. And the other thing before I go,
- 6:22Speaker 9: 5AA listeners, Primorne Hotel Thursday, run by Janet and Margaret,
- 6:28Speaker 9: a luncheon to not miss. 25% off all food and beverages.
- 6:34Speaker 9: in the beautiful Cremorne Hotel, 207 Unley Road, Unley, bus
- 6:40Speaker 9: stop 5, 190 from Glenelg, 190 or 190B from the city,
- 6:46Speaker 9: and all I'll say is go you double blues.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Well done, Peter.
- 6:49Speaker 4: Peter, that was a great summary. Looking forward to that.
- 6:52Speaker 4: That sounds like a good lunch too.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Cremorne Hotel, lovely place.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Yes.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Extraordinary.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Crows fans, what did you think of the weekend? And
- 7:01Speaker 4: if you're not a Crows fan, what did you think
- 7:03Speaker 4: of the weekend of footy? It was really good, I thought,
- 7:06Speaker 4: wasn't it?
- 7:06Speaker 3: Finals in terms of the game. A lot was happening.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Just on the Crows before we talk about the finals wider,
- 7:12Speaker 3: Brayden Ingram for Nine News. Of course, the Crows heading
- 7:14Speaker 3: up to Brisbane this weekend to take on the reigning premiers.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Saturday night, 7.05.
- 7:19Speaker 11: Is the start time at the Gabba where they'll look
- 7:22Speaker 11: to send the home side out in straight sets. Now,
- 7:24Speaker 11: if you thought tickets were at a premium last night,
- 7:27Speaker 11: this is a whole new level. The stadium only holds
- 7:29Speaker 11: around 30,000, so for those wanting to make the trip,
- 7:33Speaker 11: members get access from 9.30 tomorrow morning with any remaining
- 7:36Speaker 11: tickets on sale to the general public from 2.30pm. We're
- 7:41Speaker 11: already starting to see airline prices rapidly rise, so you
- 7:44Speaker 11: might need to move quickly. And Will, for those who
- 7:46Speaker 11: are wondering, victory for the Crows would secure a preliminary final.
- 7:49Speaker 4: At the MCG against Cawthorn.
- 7:51Speaker 11: But as Matthew Nix would say, one game at a time.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Brayden Ingram there for Nine News, talking about the logistics
- 7:58Speaker 3: behind getting Adelaide up to the Gabba. Are you thinking
- 8:01Speaker 3: about jumping on a flight? Because, by golly, if you...
- 8:06Speaker 3: It always happens, doesn't it? The airlines want to try
- 8:08Speaker 3: and screw you out of your hard-earned. They know they've
- 8:11Speaker 3: got limited amount of seats. If you wanted to jump
- 8:13Speaker 3: on the 635 Qantas flight to Brisbane Saturday morning, $ 912
- 8:18Speaker 3: one way. A 10 o'clock Jetstar flight to get you
- 8:21Speaker 3: in at about 12.55 Brisbane time, $ 806. And then funnily enough, Ned,
- 8:27Speaker 3: when you get closer to the game, when you get
- 8:29Speaker 3: flights that won't get you there on time, $ 300. Extraordinary, folks.
- 8:35Speaker 3: But totally predictable.
- 8:37Speaker 4: It is totally predictable. What's something you've spent way too
- 8:40Speaker 4: much money on? I mean, would anyone go and actually
- 8:45Speaker 4: watch a game of footy for $ 3, 000 live? $ 3, 000? Well,
- 8:50Speaker 4: I reckon that's what you've got to budget, to go
- 8:52Speaker 4: and get tickets to fly over there as a family, accommodation,
- 8:56Speaker 4: and to go on the holiday as a family. Oh, yeah.
- 8:58Speaker 3: We have a brekkie producer who'd spend a bit of
- 9:00Speaker 3: money to go to watch a Hawthorne prelim, I reckon.
- 9:02Speaker 9: Really?
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Well, what's something you've spent way too much money on?
- 9:06Speaker 4: I mean, that's ridiculous.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Unreal.
- 9:09Speaker 12: Isn't it?
- 9:09Speaker 4: Is anyone doing it? Like, is anyone planning, as we speak,
- 9:14Speaker 4: to get over there and watch them? Now, my thoughts,
- 9:17Speaker 4: we'll speak about it in a little bit more detail
- 9:19Speaker 4: with Tom Wren. The Crows were good. I was really
- 9:22Speaker 4: pleased to watch them win, and that response from the
- 9:24Speaker 4: Adelaide crowd to Matthew Nix was endearing, but they didn't
- 9:31Speaker 4: necessarily give me any more confidence that they're going to
- 9:34Speaker 4: go deeper in the finals after last week. Sammy, they
- 9:38Speaker 4: beat a Western Bulldogs side that was depleted. The Western
- 9:41Speaker 4: Bulldogs kicked in accurately, missed a lot of opportunities to
- 9:45Speaker 4: take a little bit more control of the game. Yes,
- 9:47Speaker 4: the Crows were good.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Well done.
- 9:48Speaker 4: They won a final. Fantastic. But certainly no more confidence
- 9:53Speaker 4: than what I had last week after that performance.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Speaking of said producer who would spend too much money
- 9:57Speaker 3: to watch a Hawthorne prelim, he's just walked into the studio. Patrick,
- 10:00Speaker 3: good morning.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Good morning, Ned.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Good morning, Sam.
- 10:02Speaker 4: I'm maxing out at 1,500, I think.
- 10:04Speaker 3: 1,500.
- 10:04Speaker 13: But I'm by no means the yardstick at all on this,
- 10:08Speaker 13: I don't think. I think there are people out there
- 10:10Speaker 13: listening right now who would spend a lot more money.
- 10:12Speaker 4: 8223 0000.
- 10:14Speaker 3: You're in the lucky position that it's Melbourne. Melbourne.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 10:17Speaker 3: We shouldn't be seeing $ 1, 000 flights to get you to
- 10:21Speaker 3: Melbourne and back on time. No, I think you can drive.
- 10:23Speaker 13: If you really need to, you should drive.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Yep.
- 10:26Speaker 3: 100% you should drive to try and get the cheaper rates,
- 10:29Speaker 3: but will you?
- 10:31Speaker 4: Probably not.
- 10:32Speaker 10: Exactly.
- 10:32Speaker 13: After my week, I'd rather put that to one side,
- 10:36Speaker 13: do the easier thing, which would be flying.
- 10:39Speaker 4: But you try and save money where you can.
- 10:41Speaker 13: So it is a difficult conversation that needs to be
- 10:43Speaker 13: had at this time of year, but it is a
- 10:45Speaker 13: good one to be having.
- 10:45Speaker 3: But also, you've got the chance of a prelim, right?
- 10:48Speaker 1: Yep.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And you might spend up to $ 1, 500 to go to
- 10:50Speaker 3: a prelim. Yep. What are you going to do if
- 10:53Speaker 3: they make a grand final? The budget three grand?
- 10:55Speaker 13: That's another question. That's a great point. What do you do?
- 11:01Speaker 13: Do you double it from a prelim to a grand final,
- 11:04Speaker 13: your budget, and what you're willing to spend?
- 11:06Speaker 3: It's a grand final. I mean, as a Hawthorne supporter,
- 11:08Speaker 3: you've seen enough grand finals in your lifetime already, not
- 11:11Speaker 3: even 25, but it's a grand final. Does the price just,
- 11:14Speaker 3: you don't worry about it? I think it's possibly true.
- 11:17Speaker 3: What about you, Ned?
- 11:19Speaker 4: It wasn't listening. I was reading the text line. What
- 11:22Speaker 4: were you guys talking about?
- 11:23Speaker 3: Anyway, read some of the text out. Thank you, Paddy.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Nice work, Patrick. Who's putting a budget together to go
- 11:29Speaker 4: down and watch a final?
- 11:31Speaker 3: Outrageous.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Or what's too much money to go and do that?
- 11:35Speaker 4: Or what have you spent too much money on to
- 11:37Speaker 4: go and see or do?
- 11:37Speaker 3: On the text line, morning, Sam and Ned. Listening to
- 11:39Speaker 3: you from the Sunshine Coast on my early morning walk.
- 11:42Speaker 3: You put a smile on my face every morning. Thanks, Chris. Mick,
- 11:45Speaker 3: Rex and Dirk, morning high-fivers and now keen green gardeners
- 11:49Speaker 3: after yesterday's show. It was Benny Warren who coached the legs.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Thank you, Mick. Mick was listening to the gardening program
- 11:56Speaker 3: yesterday where I was joined by Michael Killen. Also, before
- 11:58Speaker 3: we move on any further, I've got to give a
- 12:00Speaker 3: shout-out to this man, Andrew Myers. He's the CEO of
- 12:03Speaker 3: the Paraka Farmers Market. I spoke to him at Hup
- 12:06Speaker 3: R6 yesterday, and he informed me about this.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Thanks, Sam.
- 12:10Speaker 14: I'll let you know I'm a high-fiver.
- 12:11Speaker 10: I'm always in the market early, so.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Don't get to call you, but working, listening to you
- 12:16Speaker 2: and Ned every morning.
- 12:17Speaker 10: So love your work.
- 12:18Speaker 3: So shout out to Andrew.
- 12:19Speaker 4: You're kidding.
- 12:21Speaker 3: High fiver. It was very funny in my fill-in shift
- 12:23Speaker 3: yesterday I filled in for Angie McBride. The amount of
- 12:25Speaker 3: high fivers who were letting me know they were listening
- 12:27Speaker 3: on the text line filled me with joy.
- 12:30Speaker 4: A few high fivers? Fantastic.
- 12:31Speaker 3: And then I had someone else ring up and say, oh,
- 12:34Speaker 3: on the back of Andrew, people were saying, what's a
- 12:37Speaker 3: high fiver? So I had to go through and explain it.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Oh, no. Shut up. It's been horrible. I tell you what,
- 12:43Speaker 4: the umpire for our footy game, don't ask how we went,
- 12:47Speaker 4: was a qualifying final. The umpire came up to me
- 12:49Speaker 4: before the game and said, good luck. He goes, I'm
- 12:51Speaker 4: a high fiver.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Oh, did it help you with any of your calls?
- 12:53Speaker 4: No, they umpired really well.
- 12:55Speaker 3: No, they did.
- 12:55Speaker 4: We didn't win. The other team was much better, but
- 12:57Speaker 4: they umpired very, very well and very fairly.
- 12:59Speaker 3: High fivers are everywhere.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Did a good job. Peter from Parra Hills.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Fellow high fiver. Good morning, great man. Yeah, good morning, boys.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I tell you what, when you wake up early, it
- 13:08Speaker 2: doesn't matter what day, so we're all high-fivers. It doesn't
- 13:11Speaker 2: matter what show we're listening to.
- 13:13Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, Peter. High-fivers are this show.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Oh, well, that's all right, but we still wake up
- 13:18Speaker 2: and listen to the 5AA. That's the important thing. Now,
- 13:23Speaker 2: I'm sorry if I'm going to change the subject, but
- 13:26Speaker 2: I'd like to make two comments, if you like. One,
- 13:29Speaker 2: I'd like to talk about Kangoo Rising, the one at
- 13:32Speaker 2: Hong Kong yesterday.
- 13:33Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Broke the track record by a second, which apparently is
- 13:38Speaker 2: equivalent to eight lengths. It's now coming to Australia to
- 13:42Speaker 2: run in the Everest in the 17th of October. Now,
- 13:46Speaker 2: the commentators made the comment that there was $ 75 million
- 13:51Speaker 2: spent on the race, which was $ 74 million on just
- 13:55Speaker 2: that horse itself. So when it runs here in October
- 14:00Speaker 2: in the Everest.
- 14:01Speaker 15: Because.
- 14:02Speaker 2: It'll be a whirlpool, there'll be the equivalent of that.
- 14:06Speaker 2: And because it'll be so short, there'll be a lot
- 14:08Speaker 2: of whirlpool on Quinellas, trifectas and doubles. So I would
- 14:14Speaker 2: say the prize is just to go and see that.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Racing that day will be astronomical. And I'd also like
- 14:24Speaker 2: to congratulate the Sunday Mail. and KO for the colour
- 14:29Speaker 2: magazine that was in the paper yesterday on the summit
- 14:34Speaker 2: of cricket in their seven-page calendar. It was absolutely brilliant
- 14:39Speaker 2: with Travis Ed promoting it.
- 14:42Speaker 4: A couple of great points there, Peter. Always appreciate your calls.
- 14:45Speaker 4: Kai Ying rising in the Hayes stable, of course, a sprinter.
- 14:48Speaker 4: Won the Everest last year, Peter, didn't it? How many
- 14:51Speaker 4: can it win in a row?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Oh, well, it's already won 22 in a row.
- 14:55Speaker 4: No, that's runs. How many Everest in a row do
- 14:57Speaker 4: you think can win?
- 14:58Speaker 3: Three, four, five?
- 15:00Speaker 2: Well, at least a third, I would say. Another one
- 15:04Speaker 2: after this.
- 15:05Speaker 14: Yeah, extraordinary.
- 15:06Speaker 2: You're talking about the age of the horse and how
- 15:09Speaker 2: many times they want to bring it back anyway, but
- 15:12Speaker 2: the Everest is worth $ 20 million itself anyway. Well, as
- 15:16Speaker 2: a winner, perhaps we'll only get $ 10 million or whatever,
- 15:18Speaker 2: but it's just the prestige. And as I said, the
- 15:21Speaker 2: fact it's already won 22, but.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That's what racing's all about, just getting all these good
- 15:27Speaker 2: horses and people seeing them, and the amount of overseas
- 15:30Speaker 2: people that'll.
- 15:31Speaker 15: Be in the city for that.
- 15:33Speaker 2: To me, the only downfall is the fact that it's
- 15:36Speaker 2: also Caulfield Cup Day, and that's the 150th Caulfield Cup
- 15:40Speaker 2: on the same day, but it's still going to be
- 15:43Speaker 2: world preview of everything about it.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Thank you, Peter.
- 15:47Speaker 10: Well done, Pete.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Do we have any horse racing supporters?
- 15:50Speaker 3: Rennie does.
- 15:51Speaker 4: Rennie loves his racing.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Yep.
- 15:53Speaker 4: The industry is built on gambling, isn't it? So I
- 15:56Speaker 4: like horse racing and I can get into it, but
- 15:57Speaker 4: I'm not a gambler, so I don't follow it as
- 15:59Speaker 4: consistently as others. But if people can responsibly have a
- 16:02Speaker 4: punt and they enjoy watching it, I think it's fantastic.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Mandy and the Blue Brothers, good morning, Ned and Sam
- 16:07Speaker 3: and the backing crew. I hope you are well and
- 16:10Speaker 3: had a great weekend. You must be happy with Adelaide's win.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Half the city is. Have a great show, Mandy and
- 16:17Speaker 3: the Blue Brothers.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Ahem.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Mike from Power Hills, I'm an Eagles man and I'm happy.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Squeaky bum time in the first quarter. Rowe Jr. is
- 16:26Speaker 3: a genius. Mike from Power Hills. Yeah, Jimmy Rowe. I
- 16:29Speaker 3: felt like he definitely set the tone after halftime and
- 16:34Speaker 3: got his team back into it. He was fantastic.
- 16:36Speaker 4: He was good, wasn't he? Now, I want to talk
- 16:38Speaker 4: about something extraordinary after the break.
- 16:40Speaker 10: Oh.
- 16:41Speaker 4: Something extraordinary. Something that will knock your socks off.
- 16:44Speaker 9: Okay.
- 16:44Speaker 4: No, seriously, I haven't even spoken to you about this.
- 16:46Speaker 4: This is going to be a surprise. You just wait.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 16:57Speaker 3: You'd be knocking all our socks off. Go for it, Ned.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Well, Sammy, I've got something to knock your sock off. Now,
- 17:06Speaker 4: I've got an idea. I've got an idea.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Okay.
- 17:09Speaker 4: What we need to do is lock up all of
- 17:11Speaker 4: the cats. Have you read the advertiser this morning?
- 17:13Speaker 3: This has been such an ongoing problem.
- 17:15Speaker 11: What?
- 17:16Speaker 3: The cats?
- 17:17Speaker 4: Me talking about cats or the actual cats themselves?
- 17:19Speaker 3: Cats, cat curfews.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Cat curfews.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Cats out at night roaming the streets.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Yep.
- 17:24Speaker 3: I feel like it's one of these ongoing problems that...
- 17:29Speaker 3: For my entire time here at 5AA.
- 17:30Speaker 5: Great.
- 17:31Speaker 4: Well, I've got the solution. There's been a lot of
- 17:34Speaker 4: technological advancement in agriculture. They do, well, there's a program
- 17:40Speaker 4: called Holter, which was developed, I believe.
- 17:42Speaker 3: In New Zealand. Is this some geofencing you're going to say? Yes, correct.
- 17:46Speaker 4: They wear collars, and farmers can essentially, you know, rotationally
- 17:51Speaker 4: graze and manage their pasture with electronic collars. If they
- 17:55Speaker 4: want to send their cows to the east, they can
- 17:57Speaker 4: do that via the mobile phone app to the right, whatever.
- 18:00Speaker 4: I'm saying, why don't we do that with every suburban cat?
- 18:05Speaker 4: Why don't you have a little vibrating kind of zap
- 18:11Speaker 4: in their collar to train them so as soon as
- 18:14Speaker 4: they leave the geographically designed perimeter of the property that
- 18:20Speaker 4: they should be living on at night to go and
- 18:22Speaker 4: hunt wild birds, they get zapped and they get sent
- 18:25Speaker 4: into a flurry and they return back to their little
- 18:28Speaker 4: bed in the lounge room. Genius, isn't it?
- 18:32Speaker 3: You know what, Ned? It's actually a very good idea.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Why don't we do that? Very good idea. Do that.
- 18:37Speaker 4: Make it so when you register your cat, they have
- 18:39Speaker 4: to have one of those little things. You pop it
- 18:41Speaker 4: on their collar. And when they start waltzing around, the
- 18:43Speaker 4: cheeky little buggers, they get a little zappy, zappy, zappy.
- 18:47Speaker 3: What I've done, I've never had a pet. Grandparents had pets. Uncles, aunties,
- 18:51Speaker 3: they had pets. In this day and age, why don't
- 18:54Speaker 3: we all just low jack our pets? Why is there
- 18:58Speaker 3: no GPS locator in their collar? If we can put
- 19:01Speaker 3: an AirTag in a wallet... Why can't we put an
- 19:03Speaker 3: AirTag on a pet?
- 19:05Speaker 4: That's a good point. I think the AirTag style of
- 19:08Speaker 4: tech is going to become more affordable.
- 19:10Speaker 3: It has to be.
- 19:11Speaker 4: It has to become more affordable, yeah. Because you're right,
- 19:14Speaker 4: it would be super handy, wouldn't it?
- 19:15Speaker 3: You wouldn't see any more lost dog posters anywhere. You
- 19:18Speaker 3: just open up your phone.
- 19:19Speaker 4: And see where the little thing is.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 19:23Speaker 4: How would you manage that? Do you think that's fair
- 19:25Speaker 4: that a collaboration of 21 Adelaide Hills Conservation Group set
- 19:29Speaker 4: the restrictions on domestic cats? should be critical in fighting
- 19:32Speaker 4: the bird flu and they should be summoned home. What
- 19:35Speaker 4: do you think, cat lovers?
- 19:36Speaker 3: How do we manage that?
- 19:37Speaker 4: Or is my approach totally unreasonable?
- 19:39Speaker 3: A cat lover herself is on the line.
- 19:41Speaker 11: Is it?
- 19:41Speaker 3: Sue from Mylaw, good morning.
- 19:43Speaker 8: Good morning. Well, for the last 46 years, I've kept
- 19:46Speaker 8: my cats indoors.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Oh.
- 19:50Speaker 8: And keeps the wildlife safe and keeps my cats safe,
- 19:53Speaker 8: especially when the birds flew around. And I'm not a
- 19:56Speaker 8: fan of collars anyway, because many, many years ago, I
- 20:00Speaker 8: lost a pussycat who got caught up with a collar,
- 20:05Speaker 8: and I lost her.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Oh, she got caught on a tree branch or something?
- 20:08Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 20:08Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 20:09Speaker 8: Yeah, but I made a decision a long time ago
- 20:12Speaker 8: that they were more important to me than anything, and
- 20:16Speaker 8: I got called cruel back then for keeping them indoors,
- 20:19Speaker 8: but generations of pussycats since have grown up safe and happy,
- 20:24Speaker 8: and that keeps me happy.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 20:30Speaker 8: First off, can I just say thank you to everyone
- 20:32Speaker 8: who supported us at the op shop on the weekend?
- 20:34Speaker 8: We had a record weekend, a huge weekend, so thank
- 20:38Speaker 8: you to everybody. It was terrific. Even with all the
- 20:42Speaker 8: wet weather and the show on and everything, we still
- 20:44Speaker 8: slammed it.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Well done.
- 20:47Speaker 8: Yep. And your previous caller, Peter, he and I are
- 20:51Speaker 8: kindred spirits. Racing is my passion.
- 20:56Speaker 4: Really?
- 20:57Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
- 20:58Speaker 8: I love my footy and that, but I love my racing.
- 21:02Speaker 8: I watch racing seven days a week. I live for
- 21:06Speaker 8: my racing. And I'm not a gambler. I don't gamble.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Oh, right.
- 21:10Speaker 4: So you love horse racing without gambling?
- 21:12Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 21:13Speaker 4: I think you'd be an outlier though, Sue. There wouldn't
- 21:15Speaker 4: be many who sit in that section of the Venn diagram.
- 21:18Speaker 8: You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. Lots of us, we love...
- 21:22Speaker 8: I saw my first Melbourne Cup when I was five
- 21:25Speaker 8: and I was hooked. And since then, that's what I love.
- 21:31Speaker 8: And I love the history and... I love the stories.
- 21:35Speaker 8: I love the racing. I'm loving the spring carnival, spring
- 21:39Speaker 8: racing carnival. Yeah, it's just something that gets you in,
- 21:46Speaker 8: and it's magnificent, and that's what I do. That's all
- 21:51Speaker 8: I do every day is watch racing. I'll mind you,
- 21:54Speaker 8: and I'm also addicted to ER, but my racing is
- 22:00Speaker 8: everything to me, and, you know, it's, it's something that
- 22:05Speaker 8: doesn't run in my family. Only my late uncle and
- 22:07Speaker 8: I were passionate racing people, but you know, I, I've got,
- 22:13Speaker 8: you know, 120 books on racing and I've got my
- 22:16Speaker 8: scrapbooks from back in the eighties. My father and I
- 22:19Speaker 8: used to love going to the races together. He would
- 22:21Speaker 8: have been 93 last week and my beloved late uncle, um,
- 22:26Speaker 8: the three of us, um, would, they were big days
- 22:29Speaker 8: for me. And you know, that's, everybody's got something they really,
- 22:33Speaker 8: really love. And I love listening to Peter because he
- 22:36Speaker 8: knows what he's talking about and I love it when
- 22:38Speaker 8: he rings up because... Yeah, we share this passion.
- 22:43Speaker 4: Thank you, Sue. Great reflections. How many people does the
- 22:45Speaker 4: horse racing industry employ in Australia, Sam?
- 22:48Speaker 3: Have you Googled this?
- 22:49Speaker 6: No.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Can you Google it?
- 22:50Speaker 3: Okay. Johnny from Port Augusta, good morning to you. And
- 22:53Speaker 3: whilst we're talking to Johnny, I'll have a look.
- 22:54Speaker 4: The horse racing industry is huge. You think of the feed,
- 22:58Speaker 4: the freight, race day, jockeys, trainers. How many people does
- 23:02Speaker 4: it employ, I wonder, John? It's an underestimated stat, I reckon, John.
- 23:06Speaker 3: How are you?
- 23:06Speaker 10: Yeah, morning, fellas. Yeah, I'm a bit with Sue. I
- 23:12Speaker 10: don't gamble at all. I do not gamble on pokies,
- 23:15Speaker 10: bloody anything, horse racing, anything. But I occasionally go and
- 23:20Speaker 10: have a look on the racing channel. Not very often,
- 23:23Speaker 10: but occasionally go and just have a cap and a
- 23:26Speaker 10: cook on the races and all the races. Now, I mean,
- 23:29Speaker 10: I like sport. So, you know, like, you know, occasionally
- 23:33Speaker 10: just go and have a look at the horses and
- 23:35Speaker 10: all the races. And Curio Arena. from the other morning.
- 23:39Speaker 10: Join you, mate. Yeah, but just do that occasionally and
- 23:44Speaker 10: all that. And I'll just say, the SAFL, boy, that's
- 23:48Speaker 10: my passion. That's my passion. Great games again. Unbelievable games.
- 23:55Speaker 10: SAFL's alive and well and I'm on the Eagles because
- 23:59Speaker 10: I don't really like Norton. Respect them. Don't really like Sturt.
- 24:03Speaker 10: Respect them. And I'm barking for the Eagles.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Well done, Johnny.
- 24:08Speaker 4: Good on you, Johnny boy.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Quickly, you asked, Ned. About 75,000 people in Australia, roughly,
- 24:14Speaker 3: and it's a $ 7. 9 billion industry.
- 24:18Speaker 4: There you go. So how does that compare to other industries,
- 24:21Speaker 4: I wonder, in terms of scale and comparison? Can you
- 24:26Speaker 4: give me a comparison as to how big the horse
- 24:28Speaker 4: racing industry is?
- 24:29Speaker 2: Compared to?
- 24:30Speaker 4: Well, any kind of section of the Australian economy.
- 24:34Speaker 10: Well, um.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Law, lawyers.
- 24:37Speaker 8: Okay.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Compare it to lawyers. Andrew in Mount Barker, good morning
- 24:41Speaker 3: to you, mate. How's your Monday morning going? Andrew?
- 24:48Speaker 14: Hello, how are you, mate?
- 24:49Speaker 4: Hello, Andrew.
- 24:51Speaker 14: Yeah, I've got a bit of a story to tell
- 24:53Speaker 14: about my grandfather. So he was really big into the
- 24:56Speaker 14: horse racing, and he lived in Port Lincoln. He bet
- 24:59Speaker 14: really well in the trifecta one year for the Maccabi.
- 25:02Speaker 10: Divas, Um, I was running really well. And then, um,
- 25:06Speaker 10: and the year he.
- 25:07Speaker 14: Passed away in 2012, uh, he was just about to go.
- 25:11Speaker 14: He wakes up, um, just about a few days before
- 25:13Speaker 14: Melbourne Cup day. And he wakes up and he goes,
- 25:16Speaker 14: I haven't done my tips for Melbourne Cup yet. And like,
- 25:20Speaker 14: you know, he was like, oh, okay. Um, well, okay,
- 25:24Speaker 14: get a piece of paper and write it down. And,
- 25:26Speaker 14: you know, I think he's stunning from heaven. And he's
- 25:28Speaker 14: obviously picked his, his, um, his, tips for the Melbourne
- 25:33Speaker 14: Cup and so he wrote them all down and he
- 25:36Speaker 14: passed away a couple of hours after putting his tips,
- 25:40Speaker 14: putting right down his.
- 25:41Speaker 10: Tips and we were like, okay, we'll get on to this.
- 25:43Speaker 14: We didn't read anything but it was still like really
- 25:46Speaker 14: ironic that he wakes up thinking I need the Melbourne
- 25:49Speaker 14: Cup tips.
- 25:51Speaker 3: There you go.
- 25:52Speaker 4: Very good, Andrew. You've got the phone on speaker there.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Yeah, with that line, it's just a little bit tricky there, Andrew.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Great yarn though, mate. Thanks for calling.
- 25:59Speaker 3: There are approximately 100,000 solicitors in Australia.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Yep.
- 26:03Speaker 3: And that is to 75,000 in the racing industry.
- 26:06Speaker 4: But you said more widespread with volunteers and others too.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Yes, but I've just gone with solicitors. Well, there you go.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Interesting comparison, isn't it?
- 26:13Speaker 3: The horse racing industry.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Well, not really, actually. I'm not sure why I used
- 26:17Speaker 4: the law industry.
- 26:17Speaker 3: I don't know why you picked law.
- 26:19Speaker 4: That was a weird thought, wasn't it?
- 26:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 4: I'm trying to find other benchmarks to kind of just
- 26:23Speaker 4: show how big the horse racing industry.
- 26:25Speaker 3: It'd be bigger than the AFL. Well, while you're doing that.
- 26:27Speaker 4: In terms of as an employer.
- 26:29Speaker 3: While you're doing that. Julie, good morning.
- 26:31Speaker 6: Good morning, Sammy and Ned. Talking about cats, our cats
- 26:35Speaker 6: are trained not to leave the yard. I know where
- 26:39Speaker 6: they are all the time, and they have a curfew
- 26:42Speaker 6: at night in the winter. As soon as it gets dark,
- 26:45Speaker 6: they're inside, and they're not allowed out again until morning. So, yeah,
- 26:49Speaker 6: we've actually trained them that they don't leave the yard
- 26:52Speaker 6: because I don't want them in anybody else's yard.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Julie, cats have minds of their own, Julie. You can't
- 26:59Speaker 4: teach a cat anything.
- 27:01Speaker 6: Yes, you can, Ned, I do. Absolutely disagree with you.
- 27:05Speaker 4: Really?
- 27:05Speaker 6: Good morning, Grandma McKenry.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I like that, Jules.
- 27:10Speaker 6: No, absolutely, Ned. You can teach them because one of
- 27:15Speaker 6: mine belonged to my father-in-law. When he passed away, we
- 27:18Speaker 6: took her in and she had no rules. Like, she
- 27:22Speaker 6: used to roam everywhere. Then as she came here, she
- 27:25Speaker 6: had rules. And we taught her and now... They all
- 27:30Speaker 6: abide by the rules.
- 27:31Speaker 4: How do you discipline a cat, though? Do you smack
- 27:33Speaker 4: a cat?
- 27:34Speaker 6: No, no. When she left the yard, when she first
- 27:38Speaker 6: came here, we would bring her inside and wouldn't let
- 27:42Speaker 6: her back out. And it's repetitive. You just keep doing it.
- 27:47Speaker 6: And then one day she came flying across the fence.
- 27:50Speaker 6: A white cat chased her home. And that frightened the
- 27:53Speaker 6: you-know-what out of her. And we just kept repetitive, bringing
- 27:57Speaker 6: her in. And then in the winter, as soon as
- 28:01Speaker 6: it was dark, she came inside. The summer was the same.
- 28:05Speaker 6: They could stay out a little bit longer. But now
- 28:08Speaker 6: Mark only has to go to the back door when
- 28:09Speaker 6: it's time to bring them in at night, and they
- 28:12Speaker 6: both come in. So, no, you can train them. I
- 28:14Speaker 6: totally disagree with that.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Was it more you training the cat or the fact
- 28:18Speaker 3: that it got scared by another cat?
- 28:20Speaker 6: No, no, because our other one is exactly the same, Ned.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Sorry, Sammy.
- 28:24Speaker 6: We had her from a kitten, and she used to
- 28:28Speaker 6: love to get on the roof over the fence, and
- 28:30Speaker 6: we did the same thing. Repetitive. You just bring her in,
- 28:34Speaker 6: don't let her out, and you repeat that every night,
- 28:37Speaker 6: and now they're quite happy to come in. They don't
- 28:39Speaker 6: even look to go anywhere.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Well, there you go. Thank you, Julie. Training cats. Does
- 28:44Speaker 3: anyone have any success with training a cat?
- 28:46Speaker 4: Seriously, has anyone trained a cat? They're strange, aloof animals.
- 28:51Speaker 4: I don't think you can train them. I really don't
- 28:53Speaker 4: think you can.
- 28:54Speaker 3: I think I'm with you, Nettie.
- 28:55Speaker 4: If anyone can prove us differently, yes, we'd love to
- 28:59Speaker 4: hear that. Now, a few just little dot points from me.
- 29:03Speaker 4: Smacking pets, is that allowed or not? Don't have one,
- 29:07Speaker 4: so I don't know. 8223 0000, do you smack your
- 29:10Speaker 4: pet and is that allowed? I feel like if some
- 29:13Speaker 4: of the city slickers saw the way the Kelpies were
- 29:16Speaker 4: treated in the yards, they'd have a heart attack. It's
- 29:18Speaker 4: Barnaby Joyce style.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Saturday! We've been talking about the racing industry. John from
- 29:23Speaker 3: Glenelg on the text line. Morning, lads. I was at
- 29:26Speaker 3: the Racing Awards dinner Saturday night at Morfordville. It was
- 29:29Speaker 3: great to see Bruce McEvaney inducted into the Hall of Fame.
- 29:32Speaker 3: You may be aware he started out as a race
- 29:34Speaker 3: caller here in SA and does a lot of work
- 29:36Speaker 3: behind the scenes for SA Racing. We also had... Premier
- 29:40Speaker 3: Pete and awarded it to Bruce. They've also changed the
- 29:44Speaker 3: Goodwood Group 1 to the McEvaney Goodwood. Racing also sits
- 29:47Speaker 3: about fourth in the biggest industries in Australia, from John.
- 29:51Speaker 4: Is it the fourth biggest industry in Australia? That seems extreme, John,
- 29:54Speaker 4: but you might be dead right.
- 29:57Speaker 10: Wow!
- 29:58Speaker 3: Wow, wow, wow. What about Tim from Greenwood?
- 30:01Speaker 4: Says, I'm calling bullshit on training a cat. They're horrible creatures.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Dogs for the win.
- 30:05Speaker 4: Tim, bang.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Wow. Tim goes, bang. The cats are listening. They're going, meow.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Frank from Birkenhead, good morning.
- 30:14Speaker 10: Good morning, guys.
- 30:15Speaker 15: I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with Julie
- 30:18Speaker 15: about not smacking a cat.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Go on.
- 30:23Speaker 15: Our cats used to get on the top of the fence.
- 30:27Speaker 15: and used to go over this certain neighbour all the time.
- 30:32Speaker 15: And sometimes when Lorraine was looking for her, she just
- 30:36Speaker 15: couldn't find her. Always over there. So one day when
- 30:40Speaker 15: she got back on the fence, we saw her get
- 30:42Speaker 15: back on the fence, my dear wife smacked her bottom.
- 30:47Speaker 15: Slightly smacked her bottom and said, no, do not go
- 30:52Speaker 15: over there. This is a true story. Do not go
- 30:56Speaker 15: over to the neighbors over the fence anymore.
- 30:59Speaker 5: Nice flap on the bottom.
- 31:02Speaker 15: She never did it anymore.
- 31:03Speaker 2: True story.
- 31:04Speaker 10: True story.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Really? Yes.
- 31:09Speaker 15: Yes, she got her bottom smacked.
- 31:11Speaker 5: Wow.
- 31:12Speaker 4: So a cat does have a bit of an understanding
- 31:14Speaker 4: around having their bottom smacked.
- 31:15Speaker 15: It does, but they're very intelligent creatures. My dog's very intelligent. Yeah,
- 31:21Speaker 15: we just smacked her a few times.
- 31:22Speaker 5: It's not bashed hard, you know, just nothing hard enough
- 31:26Speaker 5: to hurt her. And she said, do not go over
- 31:31Speaker 5: there anymore, Fluffy. Don't go over there anymore.
- 31:35Speaker 15: That cat looked at her.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Don't go there, Fluffy.
- 31:37Speaker 5: Yes, that cat looked.
- 31:39Speaker 15: At Lorraine in the eyes like Lorraine was looking her
- 31:42Speaker 15: in the eyes. She looked serious. Yes, they're smart, mate.
- 31:47Speaker 15: Animals are a lot smarter than what people think.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Frank, love your call. How do you train a pet's team, cats, dogs,
- 31:55Speaker 4: whatever it is? Do you smack? Do you not smack?
- 31:57Speaker 4: Can you train a cat?
- 32:00Speaker 3: That's our call topic.
- 32:00Speaker 4: Can you train a cat?
- 32:01Speaker 3: Have you done it?
- 32:02Speaker 4: Is it possible? 8223 0000. The text line consistent with
- 32:06Speaker 4: what I thought. Mandy and the Blue Brothers weighing in.
- 32:10Speaker 4: And the Blue Brothers might have a bit to say
- 32:11Speaker 4: about this. I just wonder if they've gotten on Mandy's
- 32:14Speaker 4: phone and texting in with their paws. Don't smack pets.
- 32:18Speaker 4: How horrible to live your loyal life in fear. Mandy again.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Thank you, Mandy.
- 32:23Speaker 4: Another no-namer said, never need to smack any animal. Treats, training,
- 32:27Speaker 4: et cetera. Interesting.
- 32:29Speaker 14: Interesting.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Is anyone a fan of smacking? I still think smacking's
- 32:32Speaker 4: got its place for animals.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Just propose that in a better sentence structure, please, Ned.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Try again.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Does anyone think it's okay to smack a dog or
- 32:46Speaker 4: cat when appropriate as a part of a teaching routine?
- 32:50Speaker 3: Much better.
- 32:50Speaker 10: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 32:51Speaker 3: Did you get it as a kid? Smacked? There was
- 32:57Speaker 3: a lot of threatening as a kid.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Oh, I used to get smacked.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Don't let... Mum, if I get to three... the wooden
- 33:04Speaker 3: spoons coming out. Let me tell our listeners a secret.
- 33:06Speaker 3: We'd be more afraid of the count.
- 33:07Speaker 4: The wooden spoon. Grandma McHenry, she comes on and she goes, oh,
- 33:11Speaker 4: I'm so fun. I'm Grandma McHenry. Let me tell you
- 33:14Speaker 4: something right now. She clobbered us with a wooden spoon
- 33:17Speaker 4: for about 15 years, AA listeners.
- 33:20Speaker 3: So the act's over. You've turned out all right.
- 33:22Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 33:23Speaker 4: I used to get smacked a belt on the bum
- 33:24Speaker 4: or whatever. It was good for me. Sorted me right out.
- 33:28Speaker 3: This could go anywhere this morning. Tommy Wren coming up
- 33:31Speaker 3: very shortly. Big weekend of the Sandville finals. Big weekend
- 33:34Speaker 3: for a Crows fan. First finals win since 2017. And
- 33:38Speaker 3: you're heading up to the Gabba this Saturday night to
- 33:41Speaker 3: take on Brisbane, who got smashed by Sydney by over
- 33:44Speaker 3: 50 points. So one hell of a game coming up
- 33:47Speaker 3: this Sunday night. Tom Wren next.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA early breakfast.
- 33:55Speaker 3: AA break was after six o'clock, but for now... The
- 33:58Speaker 3: latest in sports with Tom Wren. Ready? Good morning, boys.
- 34:03Speaker 12: Sammy, Ned, what a weekend. What a game it was.
- 34:06Speaker 12: First Crows finals win in a decade. You said before
- 34:09Speaker 12: the break, Sammy, it was such an important game for Adelaide.
- 34:12Speaker 3: There was a lot of pressure.
- 34:13Speaker 12: It was a huge weekend finals-wise, but they stood up,
- 34:17Speaker 12: they got it done, and Adelaide Oval was rocking. It
- 34:20Speaker 12: was just an amazing game, and credit to the Crows...
- 34:24Speaker 12: They took their chances. They won what they had to win.
- 34:27Speaker 12: It was a really difficult week off the field, but
- 34:30Speaker 12: they did it. So a really good result there for Adelaide.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Our very own Will Goodings. Seconds remaining. Centre wing on
- 34:37Speaker 3: the outer side. Droughts over. Close win. It was so loud.
- 34:45Speaker 3: 51,000 in the house?
- 34:47Speaker 12: Yeah, and that final quarter, when the Dogs came out
- 34:53Speaker 12: and kicked the first three goals and then Norton took
- 34:55Speaker 12: a mark and he missed what he probably should have kicked.
- 34:58Speaker 12: He had three posters for the night, put them a
- 35:01Speaker 12: point in front, though. Had he put them a goal
- 35:03Speaker 12: in front, who knows? But Adelaide, at that point, I
- 35:06Speaker 12: think everyone in the stadium thought, They're gone.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Now, I went to bed at three-quarter time, and I thought.
- 35:11Speaker 15: Did you really?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Yeah, and right when I thought the crows were about
- 35:15Speaker 3: to just dominate. I had to work the next morning.
- 35:18Speaker 3: I had an early alarm. And to be honest, I'm much.
- 35:22Speaker 4: What time are you getting up?
- 35:23Speaker 10: 4.30?
- 35:24Speaker 3: That is pretty early. And I just would much rather
- 35:28Speaker 3: get some sleep than watch the Crows win a final.
- 35:30Speaker 3: I think it's pretty simple to me. But when I
- 35:32Speaker 3: looked at my phone the next morning, saw the Bulldogs
- 35:34Speaker 3: got in the lead, what was the vibe at Adelaide Oval?
- 35:37Speaker 3: And in the commentary box, more importantly.
- 35:39Speaker 12: Well, it was one everyone was thinking... They're in real
- 35:43Speaker 12: trouble here. They genuinely, you know, could get done. And
- 35:46Speaker 12: that's what made the next 10 or 15 minutes so impressive.
- 35:49Speaker 12: It's amongst the best footy I've seen from the Crows
- 35:52Speaker 12: this year. They're back six throughout the whole night, led
- 35:55Speaker 12: by Josh Worrell, was superb. Miller started, you know, rebounding.
- 35:59Speaker 12: And it was the big boys because there was the
- 36:02Speaker 12: rain in the first half. So they were struggling a bit,
- 36:05Speaker 12: but it was the tools that all stood up. First,
- 36:07Speaker 12: there was the goal from Phil Thorpe.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Great grab. Put them back in front. Then Walker.
- 36:12Speaker 12: And then one of the plays of the night for me, Ned,
- 36:14Speaker 12: and I'm sure you would have seen it, was when
- 36:16Speaker 12: Phil Thorpe, who had struggled in the first half, clunked
- 36:19Speaker 12: a massive mark on centre wing, wheeled around and laced
- 36:23Speaker 12: out Darcy Fogarty. The roar in the crowd was just breathtaking.
- 36:27Speaker 12: He goes back and kicks it as well. Three goals
- 36:29Speaker 12: in five or six minutes. It was so good. And
- 36:33Speaker 12: then Isaac Rankin-Seeler running away. I mean, if it was
- 36:36Speaker 12: eligible to be goal of the year, it would be.
- 36:39Speaker 12: Only a couple of players in the AFL could kick
- 36:42Speaker 12: what he kicked in that final term. So, yeah, it
- 36:44Speaker 12: was nervous, Sammy. There's no doubt when they went down.
- 36:47Speaker 12: But then they responded. And it just feels like that
- 36:49Speaker 12: could be the result and the kind of night that
- 36:53Speaker 12: releases the shackles and just– Finally, everyone goes, OK, the
- 36:56Speaker 12: monkey's off the back.
- 36:57Speaker 3: You know, we've won one. The pressure's off.
- 36:59Speaker 12: There's not going to be that talk and innuendo that
- 37:02Speaker 12: there's been all week about Matthew Nix and the club
- 37:05Speaker 12: and not being able to win finals.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Speaking of that talk and innuendo, Tim on the text line,
- 37:10Speaker 3: loved the interview with Tex and Tom Morris post-match. Looked
- 37:13Speaker 3: like Tex wanted to snot him.
- 37:15Speaker 7: You know, we've got three more games to go, so...
- 37:18Speaker 7: Much to your disgust.
- 37:20Speaker 3: I'm happy for you.
- 37:21Speaker 7: Nixie will be here, mate.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Don't worry about that. So talk to us about the
- 37:24Speaker 3: week then. You said outside noise before the game. You
- 37:26Speaker 3: bet I started it, but that's okay. I did the
- 37:28Speaker 3: news and you won the game and congratulations for it.
- 37:30Speaker 7: And then we answered your critics, didn't we? Really, really stoked, mate.
- 37:35Speaker 7: It was awesome.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Audio there, thanks to Channel 7.
- 37:38Speaker 12: I thought it was pretty good from both. Tom's doing
- 37:41Speaker 12: his job. Tom's doing his job. Tex is standing up
- 37:43Speaker 12: for the club. And he came back at him, and
- 37:45Speaker 12: Tex is standing up for his coach and his club,
- 37:47Speaker 12: and I didn't mind it from either.
- 37:49Speaker 3: So I thought it was play on. I thought it
- 37:51Speaker 3: was pretty fair.
- 37:52Speaker 12: And if that's what he's going to be, that sort
- 37:55Speaker 12: of galvanises the club and and gets them that sense
- 37:58Speaker 12: of unity, fantastic. You know, Tommy's doing his job. But, look,
- 38:03Speaker 12: what a performance. All they can do, Sam, in that situation,
- 38:06Speaker 12: I think, is win.
- 38:07Speaker 3: And they did it.
- 38:08Speaker 12: If they lost, everything then gets thrown at them. But
- 38:10Speaker 12: they won. Now it's Brisbane away, which we know will
- 38:14Speaker 12: be extremely difficult.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Yeah, so this final series has opened up with Frio
- 38:17Speaker 3: going down, Brisbane going down. What are your thoughts, Ned? Gabba,
- 38:23Speaker 3: Saturday night.
- 38:24Speaker 4: Well, no, the Crows, Rennie, I said this earlier. I mean,
- 38:26Speaker 4: the Crows won and well done, and Knicks need to
- 38:29Speaker 4: win because there was some legitimacy to Tom Morris' reports.
- 38:32Speaker 4: But the Western Bulldogs had three more scoring shots. They
- 38:36Speaker 4: had 10 more inside 50s or 12 more inside 50s.
- 38:41Speaker 4: They dominated at centre clearance, plus 10. Stoppage was relatively even,
- 38:45Speaker 4: won in the contest, and they played a different style
- 38:47Speaker 4: of game. We were more kickmark, we being the Adelaide Crows.
- 38:51Speaker 4: The Doggies were a little bit more straight line. It
- 38:53Speaker 4: wasn't a convincing performance, Rennie.
- 38:56Speaker 2: No.
- 38:56Speaker 4: Against a side, if you look at the Western Bulldogs,
- 38:59Speaker 4: Luke Beveridge has extracted everything out of that side. On paper,
- 39:02Speaker 4: the Adelaide Crows have so much more talent than the
- 39:04Speaker 4: Western Bulldogs.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:06Speaker 12: If they're going to get the result, This Saturday night,
- 39:09Speaker 12: they're going to have to be a lot better at
- 39:11Speaker 12: centre clearance.
- 39:12Speaker 3: They got smashed out of there again, really, didn't they?
- 39:14Speaker 4: They're going to have to play 40% better, Rennie.
- 39:16Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the issue. So you're right.
- 39:19Speaker 12: The Doggies had one goal seven in that first term.
- 39:22Speaker 12: You couldn't believe that the Crows, I think they had
- 39:23Speaker 12: 19 inside fifties in the first quarter and the crows
- 39:26Speaker 12: somehow were in front because they kicked three, one, the
- 39:29Speaker 12: doggies won seven. Um, It was just their efficiency, the doggies,
- 39:33Speaker 12: and their inability to kick straight. Like Norton, nine times
- 39:37Speaker 12: out of ten, should have kicked that goal that he
- 39:38Speaker 12: hit the post when they scored so well in the
- 39:40Speaker 12: last quarter.
- 39:41Speaker 3: But they didn't.
- 39:42Speaker 12: The Crows won. They got past. I think Jordan Dawson
- 39:45Speaker 12: will have a better game. He maybe looked a little
- 39:47Speaker 12: bit sore for me. Isaac Rankin can't do any more.
- 39:49Speaker 12: He cannot do any more than what he's doing.
- 39:51Speaker 2: At the moment.
- 39:51Speaker 4: But that's the concerning thing, Rennie, is Rankin's on fire. Yes,
- 39:54Speaker 4: there's some upside there. from Dawson, but you cannot ask
- 39:58Speaker 4: anything more out of the intercept players from our defence.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Yep.
- 40:01Speaker 4: So that inside 50 total, in terms of the differential,
- 40:04Speaker 4: is not sustainable. You cannot plan on Josh Worrell having
- 40:08Speaker 4: that many intercepts and saving you in defence.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I reckon Josh Worrell's had three.
- 40:12Speaker 12: best on ground for Crows games in finals the last
- 40:15Speaker 12: two years. He was the best in both games last
- 40:17Speaker 12: year when they were well beaten. And again, on the weekend,
- 40:19Speaker 12: you're right. They need more from Barry in the midfield.
- 40:22Speaker 12: They need more from other guys in the midfield. I
- 40:25Speaker 12: think if they're going to be a chance on Saturday night,
- 40:27Speaker 12: Brisbane are gettable, clearly, but the last time they played,
- 40:30Speaker 12: they were touched up.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Badly over there.
- 40:32Speaker 12: So hopefully they'll take some learnings out of that and
- 40:34Speaker 12: hopefully a little bit from what Sydney did because that was.
- 40:38Speaker 3: An extraordinary result, wasn't it?
- 40:40Speaker 12: You know, Sydney winning, like you said, Sammy, Frio getting
- 40:43Speaker 12: done as well. That wasn't as shocking as the Sydney-Brisbane game.
- 40:48Speaker 12: But this Friday night becomes– the Dockers have a bit
- 40:51Speaker 12: of a feel of the Crows from last year, don't they?
- 40:54Speaker 12: It's all sort of becoming a bit sort of– nerve-wracking
- 40:57Speaker 12: now for them if they can't get it done. But
- 40:59Speaker 12: a big couple of games this weekend, hopefully the Crows
- 41:02Speaker 12: can get it done.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Just looking back though now, does the wildcard round seem
- 41:06Speaker 3: pointless with Carlton and the Western Bulldogs?
- 41:09Speaker 12: Yeah, there'll be that argument from the people. Look, I
- 41:11Speaker 12: still enjoyed it. And like Ned said, if the Dogs
- 41:14Speaker 12: took their chances, they were probably in many ways the
- 41:18Speaker 12: better side. But look, Geelong in the end were too
- 41:19Speaker 12: strong for Carlton, weren't they, on that Friday night game?
- 41:22Speaker 12: Just A little bit too big and too strong. I'm
- 41:25Speaker 12: prepared to give it a few more years. I still
- 41:27Speaker 12: think it's a good thing. I know there are others
- 41:29Speaker 12: that don't like it, but we'll wait and see how
- 41:31Speaker 12: we go, you know, coming up over the next few years.
- 41:34Speaker 4: Opening round scrapped.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Yeah, which I think is a good thing.
- 41:37Speaker 12: So we're going to have the nine games, I think,
- 41:40Speaker 12: for the first week, which is back to what it
- 41:42Speaker 12: sort of used to be. And I think people are
- 41:44Speaker 12: happy with that. So we'll go with that again, which
- 41:47Speaker 12: is good. A little bit of other sport around the place.
- 41:50Speaker 12: Mixed results on the weekend for the women's sides. Crows
- 41:53Speaker 12: had a win, Port had a loss at Grand Prix overnight.
- 41:56Speaker 12: Kimi Antonelli again. Sammy, probably going to be pretty hard
- 42:00Speaker 12: to beat from here, I would have thought.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pretty dominant. George Russell. Just George Russell. Very funny.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Formula One fans will understand, but he's been given the
- 42:08Speaker 3: raw end of the stick. He finally thinks he's in
- 42:10Speaker 3: charge of that team, and the young, upstart, punk, 19-year-old kid,
- 42:13Speaker 3: Kimmy Aznelli, He's doing it all.
- 42:15Speaker 12: It's unbelievable, isn't it? What he's being able to do
- 42:18Speaker 12: at the moment. So he does really well. 36 is
- 42:20Speaker 12: tuned up with a bit of a pre-season NBL blitz,
- 42:25Speaker 12: if you like. And some soccer overnight. Huge game between
- 42:28Speaker 12: Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal coming from a goal down. They
- 42:32Speaker 12: are the team to beat. So well and truly on
- 42:34Speaker 12: track to go back to back. Now, Renny, you promised
- 42:36Speaker 12: us a karate update on Friday.
- 42:38Speaker 3: No karate. Have you got some karate? No, you said
- 42:40Speaker 3: on Friday you'd give us a karate update this week.
- 42:42Speaker 12: Well, I don't have it. I've given plenty of other
- 42:45Speaker 12: sporting stuff. Sure, we'll let you off the hook this morning. Now, Sammy,
- 42:49Speaker 12: you need to three-quarter time, I can't believe, I drove
- 42:51Speaker 12: to Port Augusta and back on Saturday, called the game,
- 42:54Speaker 12: not in our day.
- 42:55Speaker 3: You are a workhorse. Why did you go to bed
- 42:57Speaker 3: at three? You cannot go to bed at three-quarter time
- 42:59Speaker 3: of the game.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:00Speaker 3: I just said, I'm a Port supporter. I just don't
- 43:02Speaker 3: care about the Crows game. It's Saturday night, Sammy. Exactly.
- 43:05Speaker 3: But then I was in here at five o'clock on Sunday.
- 43:07Speaker 3: One more quarter, buddy.
- 43:09Speaker 4: You're 75% of the way there.
- 43:11Speaker 3: You stayed up for so long. You're pot committed. I
- 43:14Speaker 3: honestly couldn't give a stuff. I enjoyed my sleep. I
- 43:16Speaker 3: had about seven or eight hours. I was up and
- 43:18Speaker 3: about yesterday. Nah, fair enough. So shove that up, you're ready.
- 43:23Speaker 3: Well done, Tommy. Good on you, boys.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Will and Stacey for 5AA Breakfast coming up very shortly.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Stephen Rowe will be on the program, talk about that
- 43:39Speaker 3: win over the weekend for the Crows and their trip
- 43:41Speaker 3: up north to, well, northeast to Brisbane Saturday night. Keep
- 43:46Speaker 3: those calls and texts coming in, 8223 0000. Tim is
- 43:49Speaker 3: on my side, though, Ned, so you can stuff it up, yeah?
- 43:53Speaker 3: Have to agree with Sam. If it was Port playing
- 43:55Speaker 3: in the final, I would be looking for a holiday
- 43:58Speaker 3: in Iran rather than watching Port Powell win.
- 44:00Speaker 5: Wow.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Go Cromps. Interesting destination.
- 44:02Speaker 10: Thank you, Tim.
- 44:02Speaker 4: Not exactly Port Douglas, Tim. We've spoken about a few
- 44:06Speaker 4: things on the program today. Locking up cats, disciplining animals,
- 44:09Speaker 4: do you smack, do you not smack? I'm sure the
- 44:12Speaker 4: conversation about the wooden spoon brought up a few memories
- 44:15Speaker 4: for a few listeners.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Well, Andrew on the text line, mum's wooden spoon had
- 44:18Speaker 3: a crack in it. She hit a doorframe when she
- 44:20Speaker 3: was trying to whack me. I was pretty quick and
- 44:23Speaker 3: evasive on my feet as a kid. I like this one.
- 44:26Speaker 4: What did the cat say when he went to the doctor?
- 44:28Speaker 11: Meow!
- 44:28Speaker 10: Meow!
- 44:31Speaker 4: Scott from North Haven. That's actually quite clever, Scott. That's
- 44:34Speaker 4: a Rob-style pun. Have we read a Rob text this morning?
- 44:38Speaker 3: No, we're on Rob Lookout. Yeah, he sent one through. Well,
- 44:41Speaker 3: cats are good with technology. Dogs can't use an MRI machine,
- 44:46Speaker 3: but cats can.
- 44:48Speaker 8: Yeah, good.
- 44:49Speaker 4: There's hypertext there. We'll get to those shortly, but we're
- 44:51Speaker 4: running out of time. I think the smacking conversation is
- 44:56Speaker 4: genuinely really interesting. Are there any parents or grandparents in
- 44:59Speaker 4: the modern day who still smack their children?
- 45:02Speaker 3: I feel like if you saw it in a shopping
- 45:03Speaker 3: centre today... You'd be arrested, wouldn't you? It'd be uneasy
- 45:07Speaker 3: looking at it.
- 45:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that. But in the privacy of
- 45:10Speaker 4: your own home, if done in the right way, is
- 45:13Speaker 4: there still a place for the smack?
- 45:15Speaker 3: I reckon over... Most people would say no. Would they?
- 45:19Speaker 3: I reckon.
- 45:20Speaker 4: If we did a straw poll, most people would say no.
