I am very jealous of you guys. 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 3: Yesterday was epic. 15 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it was unreal. Have you ever been 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 4: to a Super Bowl before? Is it one of the 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 4: things you'd like to do. 18 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 3: I've never been to a Super Bowl, Laws, and I'm 19 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: very jealous, and it was definitely something that is on 20 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 3: my bust. 21 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't miss much. 22 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 4: Next year in La next year, as. 23 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: A fellow sporty got myself Abby, you would have just 24 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: absolutely loved it. But we've got a big spectacle to 25 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: look forward to ourselves as ozsies because Stay of Origin 26 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: is back, Baby, the Vics and the West Australians. So 27 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: just quickly, where were you born? Which state would you represent? 28 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 3: I was born in Adelaide, South Australia. 29 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: You're a Croweder. 30 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So I've actually grown up in the netball landscape, 31 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 3: you know, state versus state and national championships. But I 32 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: remember the feeling of beating Victoria. There is nothing like 33 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: kicking aga, guys, there is nothing like it. 34 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 4: So hang on, wait, what happens? It's Victoria versus West Australia. 35 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 4: What if you're from Adelaide? 36 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, happen. 37 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's the. 38 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 4: Kicker. 39 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 3: I guess for anybody that's born outside of those two states, 40 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 3: they don't get the opportunity this year to represent. Previously 41 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: we have seen the Allies, which is kind of the 42 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: best of the rest. But this is back in a 43 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: big way state of origin. First time in twenty five years, 44 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: first time since ninety two that Victoria and WA have 45 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: played against each other. So that's effectively my entire life. 46 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: So but ABS, I believe it's going to become a 47 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: bit of a road show, like, for instance, South Australia 48 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: might bid for it and then it'll be South Australia 49 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: versus Victoria in action as well, which would be special. 50 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: But the great thing about this as is that it's 51 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: like the best of the best have signed up. 52 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 4: Right, So who's playing? Who are some of the big 53 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 4: stars we'll see in State of Origin? 54 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, guys, the Victorian midfield, I don't know 55 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 3: how they're all going to fit in there. Listen to this. 56 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: There's Bond and Pelly Decos, Dangerfield, Anderson but as a 57 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 3: Brownlow medalist, the most recent one in Maddie Rouse Smith 58 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: Richard's wrong. Merit like that midfield for Victoria is absolutely 59 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: stacked and you think about the best players in the 60 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: competition and we're on the eve as such of the 61 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: home and away season. These players are not going to 62 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: take it lightly. It's not an exosion game. Yeah, they're 63 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: going to go in their hell for leather. It is 64 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: going to be on from the opening bounce. 65 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: Question. 66 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: It's so cool seeing all like your favorite players from 67 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: different teams. 68 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: Come to one hundred percent. My question though, is about 69 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: the timing, because I know State of Origin when it happens, 70 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: it's mid season in the NRL, and it does cause 71 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: a lot of dramas for the clubs with injuries and 72 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Is this the right time to 73 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: have it? Like, do you if you're a local club, 74 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: do you want your marquee players going and getting hurt 75 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: weeks out from the season starting or is it something 76 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: better we push off the balley trips at the end 77 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: of the year and do it then. 78 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: I feel like this is the perfect window. I mean, 79 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: as you guys know, Australian Open is wrapped up in Melbourne. 80 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: In Australia, February is just this open. I guess month 81 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: in the calendar for sport to just take control of. 82 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 3: So I don't think we would ever see State of 83 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 3: Origin mid season. But yeah, either at the start, which 84 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: I feel like February is perfect, or at the end 85 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: is pristine for it. 86 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: Well, it's hard. You hard to do the end because 87 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: they're exhausted, they're done, they want to get out and 88 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 4: they want to get on a moped and go to Bali. 89 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: This is perfect time. 90 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: Good timing. Hey, Abs, you do a great job on 91 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: Channel seven. We love watching you, but I also love 92 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: watching you become a beautiful mum as well. How is 93 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: motherhood because you look, look at the smile on your 94 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: face right now when I bring it up, you must 95 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: be loving it. 96 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: Oh, Clint, I am obsessed with my son. I know 97 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: that every parent is meant to be obsessed with their children, 98 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: but I just feel like, now that I've got him, 99 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: motherhood is something that I was always meant to do. 100 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: I was always born to be a mum. And he 101 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: just makes me smile and makes me laugh, makes me 102 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: feel all of the emotions each and every day. I'm 103 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 3: talking honestly. It is the greatest thing that I will 104 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 3: ever have the opportunity to do in my life, and 105 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: I'm prepared. He's eight months old now, which is wild. 106 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: I feel like I was in hospital having him yesterday. 107 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: And people have always said to me, you think time 108 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: goes fast, wait until you have children, and they're not wrong. 109 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: It's flying by already. 110 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: It's so nice to hear that smile. 111 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: And Abby's really close with a good friend of ours 112 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: in Alice, who worked on this show. And you've got 113 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: kids together now, so that he got playmates. 114 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: How good is that? How good is that that you 115 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: know one of my best friends and I we're only 116 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: about three or four weeks apart with our boys, So 117 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: to have this experience with one of your closest friends 118 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: as well, it really has been quite special. 119 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: Oh that's so sweet Alice with little Wally and a 120 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 4: little wine bars. Mother's club has changed in the park 121 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: and now all my friends are off at wine But 122 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, we love, we love watching on Channel seven. 123 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: But see as a. 124 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: Mum is just have you got a tip for this 125 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: year's flag? 126 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: Is it? 127 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean, Brisbane has been engulfed by scandal surely. 128 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: Do you know what? I think the spotlight is going 129 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 3: to be on Queensland as a whole this year. I 130 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: think the Lions could very well make it a three peet. 131 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: They've just got better. And it's not necessarily the older players, 132 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: the more experienced players that are carrying this group. It's 133 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: now the young kids that are coming through. You know, 134 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: the Ashcroft brothers, Fletcher, your Ty Gallup, who's a Premiership 135 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: player in just a handful of games, Logan Morris. So 136 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: it's these kids that are really starting to dominate and 137 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: will dominate for the next ten years. And then you've 138 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: got Gold Coast as well. When the recruiting they've they've done. 139 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: So I think that Queensland is going to be in 140 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: for a pretty six school years this year. 141 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look at the Seaper Bowl yesterday they 142 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: said the Patriots and the Seagles weren't the two teams 143 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: expected Seahawks, sorry, Seagulls. The Seagulls weren't expected to make 144 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: the final. 145 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: You know did that? 146 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Seahawks with I was watching it on the 147 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: Footy show. 148 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: To stop talking. 149 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 4: Isn't it a shame that Jase got sent to the 150 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: Super Bowl and someone. 151 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: Like if you if you need to stay home with 152 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: the baby and you need someone to cover the sideline, 153 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: you just give me a will do? 154 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: Origin is back?
