The No Dribble Tattoo Is Actually Happening, Gordie’s 200km Challenge & World Cup Surprises · No Dribble

  Speaker 1: September is all but gone. There are now three months
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to nail those New Year's resolutions. Or you could just
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: give yourself a break and remember that in a weekend
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: chock full of fabulous feats on football fields, there was
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: none more fabulous than a former mechanic from Erinsborough who
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: was just 18 months away from qualifying for her seniors card.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So maybe you're doing enough already. You're a no-dribble strap-in!
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: talk about netball. We talk about so much more. My
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm Liz Ellis.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm Gordie.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Back. Yay! Super Gordie is back.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Joining us today. I know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So exciting. Our super sub. I feel like I have
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: missed you guys for some time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But the great thing is I get to listen.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Well, we're always thinking of you. Thanks for stepping in.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So Catherine is away again this week up in Queensland.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Doing something with investments or something very grown up, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Gordie has stepped in to save the day for us.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Let's be honest, she's not doing anything with investments. It's Sarah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: if anyone's doing anything with investments.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Catherine just does as she's told.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But Liz, you're a way... Are there children being tortured
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: outside the room that you're in?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. I don't know if you can hear. So obviously
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I'm in a very salubrious accommodation here. I'm sitting, I'm
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: actually sitting in the equipment room at the Illawarra Netball Stadium.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: So my daughter has been playing in the Regional Academies Challenge.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So basically all of the academies for around New South Wales,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: which we talked about the Pathways Program last week. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Once the kids play association level and go to state champs,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the next thing that they do when they hit that 15,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: 16 age group is that they have regional academies. So
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: my daughter is in the North Coast Academy of Sport
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and she is down here this weekend playing. And so they've,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you know, played Saturday, Sunday, Monday, lots of people who like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it's just so funny, right? I come down here and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I love watching my girl play, but I also love
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: catching up with everybody. So Maria Lynch, who was my
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: under-19s coach, like she coached me 35 years ago. She's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: here selecting Nadia Fitzgerald, who played for the Swifts, Sam May,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: who played for the Swifts. They're all here working and selecting.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Julie Fitzgerald's here selecting. And I was sitting on the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: sideline having a chat to Julie and she said to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: me at one point, you need to go now because
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I can't be seen selecting a team with one of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the mothers sitting next to me. And I was like, oh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I guess I should probably, yeah, hop away while my
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: daughter's playing. So anyway, it's been a really great weekend.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It's my girl's 15th birthday today. And what better way
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to celebrate your 15th birthday than playing netball in a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: game this morning. She had a blinder, got a magnificent intercept,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: off a tall goal attack on the baseline and drove
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it down the court. And I'm like, that's the best
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: birthday present ever. So yeah, so I've been sitting here
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: all weekend or most of the weekend.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Do you get on it with the parents?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No, but I did say with Nat Sloan for a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: couple of nights, she lives down here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: So Yeah, no.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: No, we all don't stay together.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We should.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think, well, yeah, anyway, I can't give away too much, Susan.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: What goes on tour stays on tour. I'm trying to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: dodge the question so I don't incriminate myself or any
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of the other parents.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But you're not in your van anymore, are you?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Like in your caravan.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: No, no. We're staying like in just an Airbnb at
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Austin Mere, which makes Austin happy.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, and it's beautiful too, Austin.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It is beautiful down there. Have either of you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Ever been involved with selections? Gordie, you would have for sure.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So how does it work? If you've got several selectors there,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like is it just you hope that you all agree
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and like obviously that would be the best outcome. But
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: if you don't all agree, what's the process?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Well, you would like to think, and I'm sure where
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Liz is now, there's policies in place, selection policies in place.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: So you govern by a selection policy and those policies
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: will define what how many selectors, whether you have to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: be a particular level of coach or whatever. You can't
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: have alliances to anybody playing. If you do, you've got
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to be able to declare them. And then the process
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: that you follow in order to ensure that selection.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Is as fair and equitable as possible.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: And then the process for selection, which, and again, for
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: something like I think what is happening with Liz is
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: it's more a mass number, isn't it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talent IDing kids more than anything else to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: take through to... the next sort of part of selection
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: for under-17s next year.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're probably just mindful that you're balancing the
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: selection process with areas of the court, but.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It's when you get down to selecting like state teams.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And you've got a panel and it's interesting because the
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: role of the coach is an interesting one. Often I've
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: been on panels where the panels outvoted the coach on
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a particular player and so you have to go into
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a debate as to why that coach wants that player
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and to be justified and, you know, Sometimes it lands
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: with the coach and sometimes it lands with the selection panel.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So generally there'd be two or three on a selection
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: panel plus the coach?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: You try to have an odd number in case it
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: does go to a vote or you'll have a chair
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: of selectors that might have to guide that process a
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: little bit. But, yeah, for the beach part when you're
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: going into select for, in particular, that high level like
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: state team, you need to make sure, like I want
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: to know as a selector, like, What are we trying
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: to achieve? What are the goals of this selection? So
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: are we selecting for here and now? Are we selecting
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: for gold? Are we selecting for longer term vision? Is
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: there an area of the court that we're trying to develop?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So you have to have all of this set out
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: in front of you, which helps to find the goalposts
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of your decision making as you go through the process.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: But if you go in blinded to that, then every
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: selector could be sitting on a different lane when they're
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: trying to select, which is where discrepancy is coming to play.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And then if you don't agree, do you just take
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it to the car park and see who wins the NUC?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have and I win every time, Liz.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: No one's surprised at that, Cordy. Oh, that's really interesting. Thanks, Gordie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I've got to say, it hasn't all been netball for
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: me this weekend. I went up to the preliminary final,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the NRL preliminary final last night.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're so lucky.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: What?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. My son chews for the Panthers.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So we're all smiles at the start and a few
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: tears at the end. So when a 10-year-old boy is
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: really sort of invested, it's all or nothing. So bloody
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: great game though. Fantastic game of footy. And I haven't
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't been to an NRL game for a long time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: The game was fantastic. Most of the crowd were awesome,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: except for the bloke behind me at the very end
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: who was cheering for Newcastle, which is fine. He hadn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: been obnoxious at all through the game. And then at
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the end, they won and they threw his beer in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the air. So my son and I wore his beer.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: So he then wore my wrath. He was left in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: his own certain terms.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I can see as that beer went up, you opened
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: your mouth. I wish, right? I was the first.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: What I should have said to him was, mate, you
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: wasted that beer. If you're going to throw it, throw
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it straight into my mouth or give me the opportunity
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to catch it. So anyway, it was amazing though. But
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that injury to Nathan Cleary happened just in front of us. Oh,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I got my son's eyes and I'm like, oh, maybe
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: just look away now. But yeah, but isn't that interesting, right?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: We were having this conversation this morning at breakfast about,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you know, what happens to that player who affected the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: tackle and it broke someone else's leg and you know
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: does he get a slap on the wrist does he
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: miss the grand final and you know we saw one
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of the Brisbane players that happened to him as well
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: last week and it's I'd hate to be on that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: judiciary making that decision about you know or the tribunal
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: saying you know the effect was really bad it was
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: an illegal hip drop tackle but do you rub someone
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: out for the grand final because the horrific effect it
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: had or do you say well it wasn't and the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: tackle was illegal, but it wasn't criminal, so we'll let
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you play.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's a tough one, isn't it?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I think that decision-making in the heat of the moment,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and there is no real decision-making. It's instinct, isn't it?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But they are trained so well. And I think they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: did the right thing in going, you've got to go.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But I felt really sorry for that guy because it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like we've all made a bad decision from time to time,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: but this was catastrophic. The impact of it was so bad.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And I was happy that the team... Like I thought
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it was amazing that Newcastle managed to win with a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: player down for 50 of the 80 minutes and to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: come through and to see what it means for Newcastle.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But I just thought about that guy too and it's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: like he's already carrying on his conscience that he has
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: caused this major injury on someone else. In what is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the decision that, you know, the game is grappling with
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: how do we interpret that action? Is that, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: even when you're looking at it, in review time and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: time and time again, it's sort of not that clear
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what exactly the right answer is. So I just, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: felt very happy for him that they went on to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: win in spite of what had transpired as a result
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of his actions.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I reckon what makes it worse though, and not that
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: it should, but it's who it happened to. You know
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: what I mean?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Like in the context of the game, it's probably the
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: most significant player on the field at the time, which
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: probably doubles everybody's thoughts, opinions, reactions, et cetera. Not that
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: it won't adjust the decision-making of anybody that's a referee
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: or whatever, but it makes the moment, I reckon, twice
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: as bad, which was similar to what happened in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: AFL grand final.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I haven't stopped crying even though I'm.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: A weak one. Oh, I'm so sorry.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, Gordie.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: It must have been like a big sort of.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Black cloud hanging over the west coast at the moment.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Is there? I said.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: so I was trying to, yesterday I was trying to
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: get my head around how to sum up what I
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: thought was one of the greatest sporting spectacles I've seen
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: for some time. And for a Fremantle fan or, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: jumping ship to support a West Australian team.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It was brilliant and brutal. all in one.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Like, it was such a brilliant game of footy, brilliantly
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: played by Freo for such a long period of time,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: and then just brutal in every aspect of the word,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: unless you're a Brisbane fan.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: So, but yeah, what a game. But started with, started, honestly,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think I.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I knew how much I loved Kylie Minogue until I
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: realised how stupid I was going watching her pre-game. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: was possessed by it. You couldn't have turned the TV
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: louder up. We're down at our holiday house and we
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: had friends around and it was so loud and like
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: everyone was just going crazy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: We're just loving it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: And my brother was at the game and I had
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of friends at the game and they were
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: FaceTiming us live and sending us photos.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Everyone was just Kylie mad.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, wasn't it? We were all united
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: by that. And what I loved was how she brought
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it back to being a Melbourne girl and, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: she really made it personal and it looked like she
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: was enjoying it so much. It was just fantastic.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. G Flip was great. Everything was good.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: So good. But, Gordie, here's a question.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Rank Kylie and Cher on the Sue Gordian rankings. Yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that is difficult.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Why would you ask someone? This is like Sophie's choice.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's like, you know, when people ask you if
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you've got a favourite child or my kids say, have
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you got a favourite? And I'm like, of course I've
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: got a favourite. It just changes each day.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: It just changes. Do you know what? I can answer
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that question. I can answer that question.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I think, like, Cher is iconic historically. You know, she
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: doesn't do as much now. But Kylie just reinvigorated the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: bloody Kylie in you. Like, don't get me wrong, I
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: was scrolling online for Kylie merchandise. Like, I don't buy merchandise.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: It's embarrassing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Like, my behaviours, this is what Kylie did.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: She... My behaviours were affected by Kylie Minogue.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It was crazy, isn't it? That's cool. I loved it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: She was really good.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I thought she was great and I love that she
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: loved the game and everywhere.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: This is what I love about it, right?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Like she's so Aussie and even though she spent so
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: much time away, she absolutely highlights Australia in everything that
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: she does and in every media thing that she did
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: leading up to it, She highlighted the importance of Australia, home, Melbourne,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: the fans.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I just love it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: And I know she knows how to do that, but
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I just think there's a sincerity about it for her.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I just love it. It's cool.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It was so good. I was excited too that the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: highest paid person on the football field was a woman.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: $ 3 million, they reckon, if she got paid $ 150, 000 a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: minute worth of work, which is pretty amazing. But we
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: were talking a few weeks ago about AFL salaries and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I had a lot to say. But interestingly, the top
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: 10 highest paid players in the AFL for 2026, none
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of them were in that grand final. In fact, the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: highest was Shea Bolton, who was an equal 14th, then
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Lockie Neal, equal 22nd. That might be the last year
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: he's earning that. And Hugh McCluggage came in at 25th. So,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, it just goes to show that you don't
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: need the biggest, best players necessarily to be the best team. So,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you know, for Brisbane there to have two who are
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in the top 25 highest paid players in the AFL
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and have won three back-to-back, like, interesting.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Well, the irony of it is for Brisbane is they
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: might not have many in the top now.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: But their list is still so young.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: They've gone triple premiership and I would say it won't
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: be too long before, and this is what breaks clubs, right,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: because players start to realise their value and they either
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: push their value inside the club, which then pushes others out,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: or they leave to chase value. And that'll be interesting
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: for Brisbane as to how they will maintain that list
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: over a period of time because they you know, like
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: you play footy to win premierships, but you also play
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: to be inside a really good club. But at what
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: point do some of their absolute superstars go, I've won
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: three premierships. I've got a life after footy to consider.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Where's my dollar?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: A hundred percent.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And I've got a theory about grand finals that like
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: superstars are going to give you what they give you, right?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And every team's got a couple of superstars. Teams that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: win grand finals are are the teams that can get
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: close to superstar performance from that next level down. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I reckon that's the absolute key. Any team sport, superstar
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is going to superstar. It's that next level that you
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: need to step up. And they're the ones that determine
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: whether you win a grand final or not.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Not the superstars. Couldn't agree more, Liz.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I reckon that's a really, I think that's such a
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: key point is that you pay superstars to do the
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: job when it matters most. So you almost, your expectation
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: is that that's what they deliver.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: But what you're.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Genuinely looking for is the players that sit underneath or
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: even further down to have excelling performances under pressure at
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the moment that matters most. So, you know, like if
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: they're getting 15 possessions a game and they can get
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: up to 21 possessions in an AFL grand final, those
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: six possessions are so important. So, or someone that can
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: kick a goal under pressure in a key moment that
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: might not necessarily do it. So yeah, that, I think
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: it's an interesting part of coaching that you learn or
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: as a player, like, and don't get me wrong, Liz,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: like there would have been an expectation of you as
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: a player for you to perform, but there might've been
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: others in the diamonds at your time that maybe coaches
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: were sort of hoping needed to step up in key moments.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, and I reckon if I think about our
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: last Swiss team that won the grand final, the last
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: one I played in 2007, Like we had diamonds all
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: over the court, but the player who was probably most
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: important to us was Kim Smith, right? Who played wing
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: defence for us. And Ali Broadbent had retired. So Monia had,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Gerrard had moved into the goal defence position. And Selena
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: had moved from wing defence into centre. So we needed
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: someone in that position. And it's such, this will make
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Carolyn so happy. Wing defence is such a key position
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: for your circle defenders. And we needed someone in there
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: who could absolutely step in and raise her bar. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: she did it. And she was the key. to us
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: winning that grand final that year because she just stepped
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: up her performance to better than she'd ever played before.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And the rest of like all the, you know, the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Diamonds players, we all did what we could do. But
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you're not going to get the same sort of improvement
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: out of us as you get out of someone like her.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: And interesting you were talking then, Gordie, about, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: kind of balancing, you know, who Brisbane has with the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: salary cap and the like. Just a reminder that we
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: have plenty of superstars in Super Netball but they have
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to have 10 of them in a salary cap of $ 890, 000.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: There's not much room there to pay a superstar if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you've got to have nine other people. So anyway, we
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: have to have a little break but we're going to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: come back and talk about some Netball superstars from around
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the world. Music Okay, so there are now only two qualifiers.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: We don't know who will be playing in the Netball
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: World Cup in Sydney here next year. We had some
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: amazing games over the weekend and we had qualifiers that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: went on in Europe and in Africa. Is that that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Sting song? What's that song? Is it Toto? Europe and America. No,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it's America, isn't it? So netball qualifiers, so in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: order that they happened, we now have two extra qualifiers
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: coming out of Africa. So South Africa and Uganda were
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: obviously already qualified. But we have also coming in the playoff,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and this was the playoff for third place on the weekend,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Malawi defeated Namibia, and we will see both of those
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: countries here in Sydney next year, which is very exciting.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really cool. I expected Malawi to be there. Namibia,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I've had a look at Namibia once before. And half decent,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: but they've floated in and out over a period of time.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see how they go.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: But it's exciting to be able to say, oh, Namibia's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: playing in the Netball World Cup and we just don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: sort of hear much of them.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: So cool.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And in that playoff for third and fourth, Malawi beat
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: them 50 to 45. So it wasn't a walloping by
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: any means. Namibia were very competitive. So it wasn't sort
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of kind of, oh, well, best of the rest type thing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: They have clearly stepped up their game over there.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: It's good. It's exciting.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: So it's now what they do between now and World Cup.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: That's the interesting thing.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: The other very exciting thing to come out of Africa
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is Uganda beat South Africa in that final. So they
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: won 56 to 53. So I haven't seen that, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that would have been an absolute blinder of a match
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: between those two.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Am I right, though, that there was a few missing? Well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you're right. Well, and Uganda.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Did Mary play for Uganda? Oh, I don't know.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think she did. Anyhow, apologies if she did.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think there was a few out because
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: they'd qualified. But that was still, you know, don't get
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: me wrong, they're great opportunities for because there was a
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: few newbies named in the South African line.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So, but still, you know, it's pride on the line,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: isn't it? You don't want to drop a game.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: So that sets up brilliantly those, particularly South Africa and Uganda,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: as it was at the Commonwealth Games, just trying to
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: knock each other off to move up the world rankings.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see how they go come Sydney.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: And I reckon over the next 10 years, the African
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: nations are the ones who will absolutely have the biggest
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: movement in world rankings as well. There's just so much
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: talent that's untapped.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agreed.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: What I would like to see in the next 10
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: years is a few more European countries competing for the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: two spots to come out of Europe. So we have
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: our qualifiers from there and Kath Tetley will be coming home,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: leading the Scotland Thistles, coaching the Scotland Thistles in the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Netball World Cup. And they will be joined by.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the first time in a long time. Northern Ireland?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Northern Ireland.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: That's very exciting. I'm shocked.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I was shocked. That is shocking.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I was shocked.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: So I only just sort of woke up this morning
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: and was scrolling and saw that because obviously we got
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: a bit of a first hand of them and Wales
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: because they beat Wales, didn't they?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Was that correct?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: No, Scotland beat Northern Ireland and over the Republic of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Ireland and Wales. Sorry, I don't have those other games here.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I thought I had written that down, but yeah. So
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: who were you expecting, Gordie? You were expecting Scotland?
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, Wales. Wales, yeah. And Wales, yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I think Wales have been the big improver in Europe
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: over the last few years, but Yeah, I.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Just sort of looked at what I saw at Comm Games.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I kind of expected that that might have been status
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: quo for qualifiers. But if you look and scroll through
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: the social media posts of the photos of Northern Ireland winning,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: you can tell by the looks on their faces that
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: how bloody much that meant to them. Like, the fans
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: are going off. Like, it's cool. So it's huge for them.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Well done to their coaching staff, Shona and Jodie, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: out to even Carolyn O'Hanlon, who's the doctor.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: We call her the doctor. So she runs the centre.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I think she's, I don't want to be rude, but
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I reckon four Commonwealth Games, 38 maybe, but doctor by trade,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: been around forever and a day. played nearly every minute
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: at the Commonwealth Games.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: She's just the stalwart of Northern Ireland and there's this
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: great photo of disbelief on her face when they win.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: So pretty cool.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: So when you say, you said, I don't want to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: be rude and then said all of these incredibly complimentary things,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: are we just saying... She might be quite wise for
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a player at the Netball World Cup.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: What I was wondering about is whether I've undersold her.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: She could have played five Commonwealth Games. I'm not sure.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's amazing.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Well, we're looking forward to seeing that. And remember, we
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: all have to pick our second team, our third team,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: our fourth team, and because they are playing for the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: plate as well as the cup next year, so the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: comp will be divided into two. So we've only got
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the Americas to go now and that is at the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: end of October, I think, and then we will know
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: all of the qualifiers for the Netball World Cup.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, I'll just cut in.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: So Carolyn represented Northern Ireland at World Cups in 2003,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: 11 and 19. She competed at the Commonwealth Games in 2014,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: 18 and 22. She plays with the Super League team.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: She's played with Northumbria, Sirens, Manchester Thunder and of late
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Leeds Rhino in the NSL.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: And she was born in 1984.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: And she's a doctor. 42.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I gave her five years. You did?
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: She's a GP, doctor.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: She's an overachiever.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Just a reminder, Kylie Minogue's 58. So whatever, it's just
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a number. Do whatever the hell you want. Let's stop
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: being defined by what the number says. Oh, that's incredible.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: So one of the things I did commit to last
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: week was chasing up the Netball World Cup team here
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: in Sydney and seeing what I could find out about
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the volunteers positions. So they are currently still working through
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the program, but they're very keen to have people applying
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: for volunteer positions. That will be before the end of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the year. So as more information, more detailed information comes
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to hand, we will be talking about it here. But
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: nobody's missed anything. Nobody's required to do anything just yet.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: There will be a call out for volunteers, but it
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: will be closer to the end of the year. So
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: which is coming at us like a bloody steam train.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so nothing yet. Hold your horses, but there
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: will be a call out for volunteers. So what are
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: you doing? What am I doing?
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Are you a volunteer?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Everything I do for netball is a bloody volunteer position.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: We're in discussions with the Netball World Cup. How can
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this podcast help? What are we going to be doing
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: out there? You know, we need to find out what
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the rest of the No Dribble team are going to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: be doing first and then we start to put the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: bricks into place.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I reckon what they need to do is put as the–
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: so we need Patrick as a ball and a court wiper. Yep, yep.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: We need you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: So we want people, every time someone runs out, they're iconic.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Like you're iconic in netball now for all the wrong reasons.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, Gordie, that means so much.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, for all the wrong reasons.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Listen, drinking gin is a critical part of our game.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: If there's not the me's out there, then there can't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: be the superstars on the court.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: But that's what you want.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: You want some iconic so that every time there's a
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: break in play, The crowd is entertained by the person
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: that runs out onto the court.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I reckon that would be brilliant. Not young kids running
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: out and going, this is an exciting time. Don't worry
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: about that, kids. Do something else.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Get Carolyn out on the court drinking gin.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, correct.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Leading.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, it would be so funny. It would be so good.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, certainly we are deep in conversations at the moment.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the on-court superstars. Obviously we've been talking
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: about the great personalities and icons of the game. But
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I would like to talk about Selby Tapaya Rickett who's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: back in.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Tapaya Selby Rickett.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Tapaya's. I've got it written down here in initials
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm going so and so and so.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Have you been drinking gin already? It's Monday lunchtime.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I have not.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It's my alcohol-free day, I'll have you know.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: That's like introducing yourself as Swin-Caroline Dell.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Swin-Caroline Dell.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Sure, whatever.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Look, that's close enough.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: At least you've pronounced all of the syllables correctly there.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It's just in it. Look, anyway. So back in the fold.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: To buy Selby Rickett?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: TPSR.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, back in the fold. So the Silver Ferns have
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: named their squad CONCAC.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Yep. And three, well, say returning faces. So Tapaya Selby-Rickett
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: called back in.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Are you just shutting off now? Yep.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Tapaya Selby-Rickett. I'm just going to keep saying it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Tapaya Selby-Rickett.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Tapaya Selby-Rickett.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: TPSR. And then Petr Tojova, a little wing attack mid-quarter
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: who has a brilliant connection at wing attack with Grace Wecky.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: So called back in. She's a real fan favourite. She played.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: I actually think she played this time last year, if
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I recall, but I just thought she ran out a
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: bit of gas. And so when Australia had Wecky covered,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I think it was last year, forget me, it was
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: not long back, I didn't think she had a lot
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: more to offer from, you know, getting her way to
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: circle edge. So hopefully that shifts in her game to
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: give herself a credible chance at World Cup. And then
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Paris Mason in, obviously, covering Catherine Hall, who's out with ACL.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Off the back of the Comm Games.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I think you'll find it's pronounced Maris Payson.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Maris Payson, yeah, Maris Payson, yeah. And Teta Poe over.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Teta Poe over.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Well, we know what jobs I won't be doing at
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the Netball World Cup. Anything to do with saying of
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the names. Yeah, so that's exciting. We're just a few
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: weeks away from that. Still a bit of exciting footy
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to get past to fill in the time. But then
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: after that, we are back on international netball. All right,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to take a little break now and come
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: back and talk about something that you, Gordie, will be
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: doing in a couple of weeks. Okay, Gordie, we're nearly
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: at October.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Talk us through how you're feeling. Yeah, I'll be honest
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: with you, I'm beside myself.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you are doing a long bike ride. Sue
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Gordian back in the saddle after a long time out
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of it. Raising.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, back in the saddle, Carolyn. I was checking the
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: last time I was. on a bike, and it was
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: over 20 years ago.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay. And so you've decided in true Gordian fashion,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not just going to do a 5K bike ride.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I haven't ridden a bike in 20 years. I want
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to raise some money for a very good cause. I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: going to ride? 200 kilometres.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: 200 kilometres.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: In how long?
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Uh, in two days.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: So that's a, and, and to be honest with you,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: and I'm absolutely peeved by this. So my best mate,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Tracy Swami, former Tracy Pemberton, who played for the West
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Coast Fever came down this weekend to stay with me
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: at Mandurah. And then just who, who sucked me into
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: doing this and then quietly informed me that day one,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: which I thought was a hundred kilometers is actually 106 kilometers.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Now that might not seem a lot, but I know
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: when I reach the 100k mark and i think i'm
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: supposed to be finished and i've still got 6k to
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: ride yeah that is going to play with my head
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: on day one so but yeah but how.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Good day two you rock up and go it's just
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a lazy 94.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then, no, no, it's 100km day two, so
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's 206km, roughly there and thereabouts.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: That is outrageous. So where do you ride?
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: So we start in Perth in the city sort of
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: near the Swan River and then you take the ride
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: to Mandurah, which is about, well, it's 100km, so that's
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: about an hour drive. But we go out through the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: back street, so we don't go along the coast. So
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: you go out through the back street. And then eventually
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: weave your way back into Mandurah on day one. And
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: then on day two, you come back more along the
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: coast and you finish back sort of at the same spot.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I think there's around about 2,000 riders. So they have
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: to cap it, I believe. And everyone's got to raise
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: a fairly substantial amount of money to actually get to
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: the start line.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Then you take off.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: So we're riding, our group is called Lycra What You See.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And we've got about 45 riders in our group. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: we're currently the fifth largest fundraising group of the entire
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: thing for community riders, which.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Is really great.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: And we are riding because our main rider has just
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: been diagnosed, which is quite sad. So he's a, Ryan,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: he's a rider every year and I've never done it before,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: but because it's down at Mandarin, this is where my
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: holiday house is, I often go and watch the finish
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: and I've been in awe year after year, people coming
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: in in the rain, the hail, the sunshine, whatever it
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: might be. And so I've agreed to do it. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: so everything, Carolyn, to give you a quick update, was going.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Really, really well. I was going very well on an
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: inside bike.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Right up right up until I got to Bali and
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: then um I had my accident in Bali which Coxie
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: shared with you last week yeah and I took the
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: top of my knee off and 14 stitches later so
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: I was slightly inhibited and then obviously unable to do
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: any training got back to Perth and then the very
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Next day of getting back to Perth, I got up
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: early in the morning to cut the bushes and leant
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: over and popped a rib.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: So it's been going really well.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: This is after you'd been to see the Governor of
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Western Australia to collect your award. Congratulations.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: It was the morning of that. Thank you. Yeah, no,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: it was the morning.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was the morning of that. So you were
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: probably ibuprofened up to the hilt.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: So I had a long, lovely suit on which covered
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: my right mashed up shark eating me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And then my left rib was giving me a good
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: what's for. So I was going really well.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: But anyhow, that said, I have physically been on a
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: bike outside now a couple of times, clocking around about
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: 40K and going okay. I will honestly say for the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: bike riders out there that there is nothing forgiving about
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: what goes on down there, honest to goodness. The seat
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: and your private parts are not supposed to spend that
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: much time together.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Have you got the special padded pants?
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: And the gel seat.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I believe they call it a bib. You've got to
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: wear your bib or something. I don't know. There's something
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, we will get the– we've got the proper attire,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. But, look, I'm really– I'm looking
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: forward to it, but I'm nervous.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: It's not easy. And I think I'll get here. I'm
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: just worried about waking up the next day and getting back.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll be right. I have complete confidence.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first day you'll be fine, you won't feel it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Then the second day you get on, you'll be like, oh, oh.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But tell Dribblers how we can support you. So we're
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: raising money here for cancer research and treatments.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: So it's the Macca Cancer 200 and it's right for
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: the Perkins. Perkins is a research company that researches for
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: cancer and And this is a really famous ride here
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: in Perth. We probably have two major big fundraising, or
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: not fundraising, but events in Perth. One's the Rottnest Swim,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: which everyone kind of knows about where you swim from
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Cottesloe to Rott.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: That's a personal thing.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: But this one is a fundraising event, but it's really
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: well known.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: The Macca Cancer 200 ride.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll pop the details in on the No Dribble
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: page if people want to.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'll put them in the show notes for
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the podcast as well.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Great, thank you.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: So we both just need to remember that. But please do, dribblers,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: do please get behind Gordie's efforts here if you can.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Every little bit helps.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I'll do some live video and some fun on the
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: day just to keep everyone entertained if they can get
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: out and support me.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I'll show you me vomiting and all those sorts.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: But keep your private parts to yourself.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: We should have commissioned a no-dribble ice pack for you
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to sit on when you were done. But congratulations and, yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: please get behind.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Congratulate me afterwards, Carolyn.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you might not finish it, so I'll congratulate you
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: now for the effort and then I'll congratulate you again
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: when you do finish. Okay, so that's still a couple
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: of weeks away, but we are just about out of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: time here today. But I do want to mention a
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: couple of things. I've got my Valor shirt on today.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Giants fans and lovers of netball history, don't forget that
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Valor has 60% of Giants merch up until the end
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of September. So that is... Today, so Wednesday, we go
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to air, so really you need to jump online at
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: VALOR and get your Giants merch there for posterity because
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: we are soon moving into sirens time, which is very exciting.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: We also have fewer than 20 tickets left for our
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: live event on Constellation Cup Eve on the 24th of
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: October here in Sydney, so go to nodribble.com.au to find
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the ticket link for that. Come and join us. That
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: is shaping up to be very exciting. And I will
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: say that someone who is coming to that event stuck
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: her hand up to get a no dribble tattoo. which
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: we said we would pay for the first person. So
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: she nominated herself very early and I've given her a
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: mandatory seven day cooling off period. I feel like that is.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to encourage people to do foolish things, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I need to be very clear that they've had plenty
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: of opportunity to back out. So we will be announcing
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: next week. I can't, I will wait until she has said, yeah,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I'm still good to go. I gave her 48 hours
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and she came back and she said, I'm good to go.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, we'll wait until next week. And
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and confirm. But yes, so that could happen that weekend
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: because she is coming to Sydney, especially for that.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Have you prescribed where it has to be? I'm sorry. No, no, no.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Personal choice, I think on size and location of it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I just, I love this.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: A big one on your forehead.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You know what helps your employment prospects is
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a neck tattoo of any description.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: How funny if you got it on the side of
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: your mouth and it said no dribble. It would be
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: so funny.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: We did actually have several people and I had to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: say we've actually had someone who jumped in first, so
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that is amazing. I'm just going to say one more time,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Tapaya Selby-Rickett, and then I nearly screwed it up again
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: then because now it's in my head. I'm a Kiwi,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: for God's sake. This is a disgrace. Anyway, that's all
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: we've got time for now. Please join us again on Friday.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: My name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Bye. I'm Liz Ellis. See you.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Sue Gordian.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Ciao. Bye. Bye.
