WEBVTT - Maddy Gordon ahead of the Elimination Final

0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Inside met for getting you closer to the game you

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>love with Adean Wilson, Anna Stanley and Jenny Woods. Soured

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>by news talks that'd be I've got a koto and

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>welcome to Inside Netball. We've got the full team back

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 1>together this week. Jean has done a fabulous job holding

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>down the fort. But I thought it was about time

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I returned back from Bali and swapped my cocktails for

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 1>cups of tea.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 2>You were there a long time, good time forever.

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>It didn't feel for ever. It was a great break,

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure Adean you're enjoying being back from your

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>menagerial duties down in Wellington for basketball. I think the

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>last post I saw you were doing the laundry at midnight.

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean's a bit at one o'clock that night, all

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>morning and then I think we're up at like five

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>thirty two games a day, a lot of washing, you know,

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>eleven boys to rush around after, honest to goodness. Yeah,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>but love it love It's good. So Jenny, we are back.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much for covering for us. Are you

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 1>happy Mum and dadd are back with you.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel so much better not to say that Eyvon

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>was so absolutely.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Super sub Yeah, loved it. But before we get into it,

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I have to say Adean game On debuted last night

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>on TV three. For everyone that doesn't know, Adean is

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>back playing a bit of netty alongside some of her

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Silver Foon teammates. Started with the fitness test and you

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>won the Bronco for the Fernees. I should have won

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it over everybody, but on my very last turn, my

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>achilles completely gave out and I got just pipped at

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the line by Tira may So. A bit to work on.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>But how about Irene? She could have kept going four

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>minute plank and she hadn't even started shaking. Seriously, she

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>made it look easy. Planks are hard. What did you

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>do for the plank? Did you get to two?

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I can just get to two. You just start shaking

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and everything shutting down. It was my arm more than

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>my actual abs.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>But I can't get over how many people are talking

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>about it excellent. Well that's not just people who are

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 2>it so there you go.

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Wow, there's plenty of talk to get through today. Of course,

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the regular season is done and dusted. Two rounds down,

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>we head to Finals Netball, where we see the Pulse

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>take on the Tactics in christ Church. And one player

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>who will be playing in that Pulse team who are

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Tactics is midcarter Maddy Gordon, and she

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>joins us now Inside May welcome to Inside Netball. Great

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>to have you here. Hey, Now, it's been a tough

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 1>old year for the Pulse, but you've scraped into that

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>elimination final. How's the team feeling as you build up

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to that game against the Tactics this weekend.

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thank you for having me.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 3>I think, as everyone has seen, it's been a bit

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>of a up and down season for us. One games

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 3>that probably some people didn't think we were and then

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 3>lost games where we really.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 4>Should have won.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it's been tough, but I think the last

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>couple of games that we've had we've.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Really got a lot of confidence going into this game

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 4>against the Tactics.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Genny's pointing at me. I thought she was gonna

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>ask the question.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I've just suddenly jumped to dargable here can I You're

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>doing to get dark over?

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm actually going to jump to the wing attack

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>position then, because I feel like that is a segue,

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because I actually did. I think I was commentating the

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 1>first game when you played wing attack because Whitney was

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>out and I did sing your praises, I'd just like

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to say, what do you think about that?

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.119
<v Speaker 3>Way?

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I loved you there, Like how much is it a

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>change from center because you look just very much at home.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I've had a lot of questions about this. Actually, well,

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I have been loving it. Let's just say that I

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 3>posid center, but I have been.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 4>Really enjoying it.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it really brings out my strengths, as in

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 3>you can really see my change of direction and my

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>speed and all of that stuff a lot better than

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Center because I guess wing attack you're the leader of

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 3>that attacking in ball in hand like kind of center

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>fills what you're doing kind of thing. So I feel

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 3>like that's really worked for me. But again I still

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 3>love Center, but just for me this year, I yeah,

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it's really it worked in my favor.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 4>I guess to showing everyone what I can do.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>So your knee hasn't because obviously you're still got quite

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a heavily strap knee. It doesn't seem to bother you.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 1>You are changing direction beautifully. So is that just precautionary?

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, So there's a little bit of strapping at the front,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>which I'll probably have for a while. That's like the

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 3>main injury, but the big white tape that makes it

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 3>all look a bit scary. I just did a little

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 3>bit of a hyper extension in the Tactics game down

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 3>in christ Church, and it's literally just there to stop

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>me hyper extending it again. It's not like I did

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 3>any major damage with it. It's just literally precautionary. I have

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 3>asked if I did need it, and they were like, hey,

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 3>a couple of games left, it's not gonna hurt.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Let's just give it on. But it's not going to

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 4>be staying around for long. Tell you that.

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you just need a bit of tape for your head,

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>just to know that, you know you're protecting art. I

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>rememb when I did my ic ACL when I came back,

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I taked it for like months afterwards, and p I

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>said to me, you know this is doing nothing. I said,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. It just feels good. And they just

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>need to get skin colored tape though, Like I think

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.119
<v Speaker 1>you're right. It's all white. It's just so in your face.

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 3>But it looks like it's some major kind of injury.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>But you know, probably half of the reason it's there too,

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 3>which I'll admit, is the taping really ruins my tan,

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 3>so I like, you need to get.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>The tan while the takes on and just you know,

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>take So, while we're on the subject of talking about

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 2>changing positions, how much has that an effect had on

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, the up and down nature of the season.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 2>You've had you know, people with concussion, you've had people ill,

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>it's you, I don't I don't know that how many

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>games have been with the with the same lineup. Has

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>that had a big effect.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I think it definitely has had an effect, But I

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 3>also think we can't really like blame that and have

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 3>excuses for it, because if you look at who's in

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 3>our team, like, we definitely have amazing players in all

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 3>areas where they can fit in and play well. So

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I guess the disruption of not being able to grow

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 3>in those combos for long has probably affected it. But

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't say it's not that we have the people

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>that can do it.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>How frustrating has it been because you know you're lose

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to the steel one week, then the following week you

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>know you win your game, and as a team, how

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>do you pick yourself up? And try and debrief those

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>performances that have over the course of the year been

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>so inconsistent.

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, it definitely has been frustrating, but we've never

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I guess we've always had the belief and confidence in

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>ourselves to know that we can do it. And I

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 3>think I think we all know when we're all on,

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 3>we're quite unstoppable. And I think that's just the key

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 3>is how do we get the best out of everyone

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 3>that we're all performing at the same time rather than

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 3>just a few people. So that's definitely like what we've

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>been working on.

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>We've spoke a lot about the two point shot this

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>year and different innovations. Is it starting to sort of

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>settle in for you now? I mean it worked bloody

0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>well in the weekend. I'm a huggy best two points around.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It's her reaction, right, How good is it that she

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>responds the way she does?

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's so funny, But like I always I

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 3>actually said to her because I was actually screaming behind it,

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 3>we only need one so funny, But hey, she shot

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 3>it and now like she got it in, so I

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 3>can't say anything, but I'm sure there would have been

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>different conversations yes, when.

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>You say that, you know, I was actually quite nervous

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>because not because I didn't think she could get it in,

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but if you guys had gone into extra time and

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>then lost by more than five, you would have been

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>in trouble. So in some ways I was like, lose

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>by one, just lose by one because they actually was safer.

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Definitely, our scenarios throughout the whole week was we are

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 3>not drawing this game.

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, So we had talked about it.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we had talked about it all week. It was

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>a big focus for us, and the main message was

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 3>we are not drawing because if we get into this

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 3>extra time and something happens and it blows out, we're screwed.

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So that's why obviously I was yelling take for what,

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 3>like you know, but hey, she is a confidence player

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 3>and she must have known that she could like because

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 3>she's quite good at her decision making when to go

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 3>for the twos and when to not, So she just

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 3>must have known deep down and that I've got this,

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing it.

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>And she did that Grand Final that you guys played

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>last year. I still think it was one of the

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>best we've had. It was so exciting and you, Yes,

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you lost, but do you ever do you ever go

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>back and think about that game or use that game

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>as a you know, incentive to do better.

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we definitely always talk about that game and how

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess how fitting say, if you know, we just

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 3>want to play kind of the mystics again, had read

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 3>demail sales. We obviously we've got a game before that

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 3>to do, but no, it's always in the back of

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 3>our minds, just knowing that, you know, pretty much we

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 3>had we had that game, and I guess we've.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 4>Worked on those moments.

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 3>I guess you saw earlier in the season against the

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 3>steel when we were close and we lost in those

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 3>last couple of minutes. But then we've had a couple

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 3>of games on from that, like a tight game with

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 3>the Stars and we pulled it out in the last quarter,

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 3>and then that tight game against the Magic and we

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 3>like pulled it out in that last quarter. So I

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 3>feel like we've definitely learnt on how to like win

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 3>in those last minutes, I guess.

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 4>So that's definitely helped.

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you've learned how to win, You've got the

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>elimination final this weekend against the Tactics. Where do you

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>think you can expose them. You've beaten them this year,

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you've lost to them this year. Where's yours? Where do

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>your strengths lie as a team?

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think disconnecting TP is quite key for us.

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 3>She plays that extra you know, third feeder, and she

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 3>does it, has a big workload down there, so I

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 3>definitely think she's a target for us. And then just

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 3>also their d end, Like they love working together and

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 3>that's what they're good at. So it's just you know,

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 3>not letting them do that, separating them and yeah, hopefully

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>those two main things should work.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Only got a big game coming up. There's there's still

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of uncertainty in the netball environment about what

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the hell is happening next year? I mean how much

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>is that unsettling or is it something you've just put

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to the back of your mind? I mean, have would

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you either be tempted to go to Australia? You know,

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>so many questions.

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's Steph like I don't think like it's not

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 3>really out there, like how uncertain it is, and it

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 3>actually is like there, I know there are a lot

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 3>of girls who are freaking out, So I think it's

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 3>hard to say that we do try and just put

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.599
<v Speaker 3>it to the back of our minds because it is

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 3>our career and you know, everyone loves the game, So no,

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 3>it's definitely there. Obviously not enough to fully be like, no,

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>this is too much, I can't focus on my playing.

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 3>But I guess then just going out there and giving

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 3>it everything because you just don't really know what's going

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 3>to happen next year, right, But yeah, we'll see how

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>this exemption process goes and all of that as well.

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 4>I would never say.

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 2>No, what if they told you have they have they

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>told you anything?

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 3>I think they're just still working through it. That's pretty much.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 3>There's really, yeah, nothing more from that. They're still trying

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 3>to work it out.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So because what do you what are you doing other

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>than nitbull yourself currently? Are you studying? Your working? So

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you really need this deal to go through.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I obviously have little things on the side, but

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.840
<v Speaker 3>obviously I'm I am that player who loves the game

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 3>and gives it all and like, I am so focused

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 3>and want to be one of the best in the future.

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>So I think I give all my time and if

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 3>it internet, well, I know that's probably not the best

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 3>thing to do, but that's just who I am, but

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 3>what I do do with things on the side, Like

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 3>I did the Nitty Notes book with Kate Heffernan that

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 3>came out.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how did they go?

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No, Actually, so the first year it came out,

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 3>it was a bit slow, and then we all kind

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 3>of worked out how to like promote it better on

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 3>like social media and stuff, and then I think we've

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 3>only got like less than one hundred left, so it's

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 3>actually done.

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Quite well in the end.

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>And then I do a bit of like social media,

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 3>like I do a couple of things on there which

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I get. I've got like a cool thing going with

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 3>nutral grain and stuff, so like I do have like

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 3>little things on the side. I definitely it is something

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm really like working on as finding what I absolutely

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 3>love outside of netball, and I think that's a big

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 3>thing to find out. But I'm just one of those

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 3>ones who's not quite sure yet. But I'm definitely not

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 3>doing nothing. I'm just still trying to work out what

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 3>I really really want to do.

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, a lot of us are still working out

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>what we want to do. What we want to do.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Given nipples such a big part of your life, who's

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>been your biggest inspiration when it comes to netball, who

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>have you admired?

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a great question.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Irene Van Dyke doing four minute playing game on ye

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>start right.

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'd better be doing a four minute planet at

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 3>age two two minutes. No, there's a lot, I even Oh,

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>there is honestly so many. I think I can't really

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 3>go past. I don't know, like Amelia Ran, Like obviously

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I've been in a team with her and just everything

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 3>she's gone through, Like I was in that team with

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 3>the Pulse when she went through like her mental health

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of phase, and like I was quite close to

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 3>her at that point, so that was like it was

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 3>hard to see her go through that. But how she's

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 3>come out of it, how she's had kids, how she

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 3>just leads in general, Like I think she is such

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 3>an inspiration.

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 2>And I think, what is it about that leadership?

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 4>She just.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 3>She just cares so much about you, like as a

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 3>and she just wants the best for you, which I

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 3>love about her. It's not all like all about like

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 3>her I guess if that makes sense. She cares about

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 3>one that's along the ride with her, which I think

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 3>is so important.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>You've played twenty five test cats for the silver ferns.

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that number is correct. What's your ambitions in

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the black dress? I mean, what would it mean for

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 1>you to get to go to a Komwaff games and

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>win and win a medal? In particular goals.

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 4>That's definitely on.

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 3>We've had like one plan things and it's like, what

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 3>are your goals over the next couple of years and

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 3>mine is yeah, definitely, like I haven't been to a

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Common Games yet, so that's definitely one to win a medal.

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, I went to a World Cup and.

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 3>We've did meddle, so that's definitely another thing, Like, there

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 3>is so much I want to be, like, I want

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 3>to be like the starting wall, center or whatever position,

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 3>but I just want to really own like and be

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 3>like a solid performer in that environment.

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, well I reckon you could be a solid performer

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>in both midies. So just keep that one attack one

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>up your sleeve, because it's always good to have the two. Hey,

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>we wish you all the best for the game this

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>weekend and of course silver fan selections coming up later on.

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But we do finish our little segment with a quick

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>fire fast five section.

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 4>He didn't get dargable.

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I know, well, I didn't know what to do, and

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I can't bring dargle. Can't darga?

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we could eat it.

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>But at the start about dar Okay, well I wonder

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>if it would work.

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Who knows, that's what those fiery tech people. Yes, people, Well.

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I can ask you now, do you miss Dargle?

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 4>No, it's a quick fire question.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>You have. That was the sixth questions.

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 3>This is so like obviously I'm from Fanaday and I

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 3>would go to Dargonball a lot for swimming, and my

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 3>grandma lived there. Like there is just like one thing,

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 3>no cafes, Like I'm telling you no, really.

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Not even what about blah blah blah.

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna say the only one they blah blah blah.

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>How are you Northlanders?

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 3>All the other things are like bakery cafes.

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Like you know what I mean?

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I do know what you mean.

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there's a business opportunity for you. You're looking at

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>what you want to do making slices and coffee and

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>dog ball funny okay, inside fast five. So the first

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>one is if you could play any other sport, what

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>sport would it be other than that ball?

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Controversial cricket?

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I didn't see that coming cricket cricket if you

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>can as a female in New Zealand, cricket.

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Is where you? Is that why you would choose that one?

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 4>I honestly love watching it.

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I am Yeah.

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Did you play when you were young?

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I like obviously in school and stuff like yes, but

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 3>never likely. And I'm actually really gutted I didn't because

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 3>here I am saying, yeah, I want to play, greg.

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know them any good but I don't know.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 3>It's just I love watching it. I go to most

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 3>games I can. I'm always watching it on.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 4>TV and it's just something I really love.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I just would like to do it as well.

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>The others in your family? Have you grown up watching cricket?

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well my dad loves it, he used to play,

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 3>My brother plays, like all of that stuff.

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>This is a good start. We've got a different apper answer, Ezerland. Okay,

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>who and your team is most likely to get you

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>into trouble and get you out of trouble?

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh easy? As in trouble Paris Mason and.

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>We head heir on did she say? Did she say herself? Probably?

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 3>And then to keep me out of trouble, My good

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 3>old trusty friend Kelly.

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think she did say Kelly.

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, what's your favorite go to post game snack or meal?

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Great question?

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Post game? Probably like well, I really enjoy after our

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 3>post games we get like a burger and some chips,

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 3>which is nice, or I wouldn't mind a good pizza.

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I'm quite good. I'm one of that.

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of people find it hard to

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 3>eat after games, but high and starving.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 1>So they're running around. Because you're a MIDI we do

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>all the work, Eddie.

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>If you could take three athletes to dinner, past or present,

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 1>so dead or alive, who would those three athletes be?

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, that's so harsh.

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Athletes three athletes, I think, all around the world, not

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 1>just any sport, any sport, any sport.

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Probably like you'd have to take someone

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 3>like like Lebron James or something on the app. Cool,

0:18:54.720 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 3>that's quite intriguing to me. Um, who's another story I noticed?

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Is here a cricketer? Yeah, no, that's what.

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually trying to think of.

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what about Chris Gale?

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Actually that is a great one, is pretty amazing, Thank

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 3>you very much. I was actually trying to think of

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 3>a cricketer who I can put on there. Yep, let's

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 3>go with him and.

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Anyone, anyone, anyone.

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe even like I don't know, like a Lisa Carrington.

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, she's the government gun, so I'd love to

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 3>pick her brown.

0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Her arms are insane. The best piece of advice you

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have ever been given.

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh honestly, it's so simple. But just to be yourself

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 4>and have fun. Like I think that's just so key.

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's pretty good advice. If you live your life

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>like that, you'll be doing well. Maddie so Hey, thanks

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us. We wish you all the

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 1>very best this weekend.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 4>What's thank you inside?

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>It well great to hear from Anny there. She's obviously

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a real netballer, isn't she. She loves her netball. She

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>throws everything into netball and we talk about these days

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that you know, balance is really important. She hasn't found

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that balance yet. And you know what, that's okay because

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>her netball's pretty good. Absolutely, and you know if that's

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and I think she she was harsh on herself because

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 1>she is doing other stuff. You know, she's not you know,

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.360
<v Speaker 1>doing a traditional degree or a job. She has got

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>a career path. That's what she was saying. The fact

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that she's busy. And I love the fact that you know,

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>this whole influence a thing that completely confuses me, but

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's doing those sorts of things. She's finding

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>ways to get a following and make money.

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I like the fact too that you know cricket.

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 2>It was the you know, the suggestion that she might

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 2>like to be She's.

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Never played it.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.360
<v Speaker 2>No, she did at school, didn't She's that I think

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>she might have, but not a lot. But she's watched

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot with her dad, so you know.

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, very impressive. Okay, so the round has finished

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the ladder, we look at the ladder. It ended up

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>being Mystics, Tactics, Pulse, and then the bottom three Steel

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Magic Stars. So let's wrap the season for the Steel

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Stars in Magic. Because none of us actually chose that

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>top three to No. Well, Jenny picked the Mistics, we

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't pick the mistakes a dean.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:27.479
<v Speaker 2>But I picked the Magic to win, and it was

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 2>fairly evident early on that they they I don't know

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 2>what happened to the Magic actually, because they were building building,

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>building very nicely at the end of last season. Yes,

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 2>not this, No, no, no, and then but even this.

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Season, halfway through these podcasts, we had the opportunity to

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>make a change and take Magic out and we still

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't copy. Aren't we? God backed them, didn't we? We

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>thought that save you to we Emelia Andi Canasio combination

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 1>was going to get us here. It didn't. Let's start

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Steel. We'll go start from fourth position down

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 1>to Saxon. So the Steel finished last last year, they

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>got the wooden Spoon. They moved up two places, finished fourth.

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>If we perhaps look at something positive to have come

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 1>out of that side and maybe somewhere along the way

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 1>where they didn't go so well. Highlight for me, without

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a doubt, is the resurrection of kar Stythe or perhaps

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>just the performances that she's put out. I think she's

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.120
<v Speaker 1>showed up every week in that goalkeep position. She's made

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>it her own. Obviously coming from the mystics, we she

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:30.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't get much caught time, and she has really consolidated

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that position and she's in the fight for silver ferns.

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.439
<v Speaker 1>So for me, stife and then the Steel beating the

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Pulse by one this year. I thought that was pretty.

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Cool for me. I thought the coaches they were a

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>real successful. In fact, I've enjoyed all the coaches this year,

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:47.199
<v Speaker 2>and you sort of what I found myself waiting for

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 2>was look really looking forward to a time out because

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking, what is Wendy Freu going to say

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.439
<v Speaker 2>this time? And I also enjoyed any home game and

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>it was like when's for mayor, which I thought was

0:22:59.359 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of cooled.

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>She is the queen of Southland.

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:02.360
<v Speaker 2>She is the Queen of Southland.

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 1>There, I'm with you, Jena. I thought she was brilliant.

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Her and Leana Liota. I just think exactly to your point,

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>just hearing what they had to say, how specific they were.

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>And for me, you know, she's Robbie Broughton, you know,

0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that's where she's learned. She Robbie was her coach when

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>she was at school. Robbie was her coach when she

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>played for the Steel. And you can just see that,

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the little sentimentalness comes out for me, you

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 1>can you can see it, you can hear. I mean

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you see it in Don's actually as well. So I

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>thought that was awesome. I actually thought both the Heafenan's

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>were also very good. I thought Georgia at times was great.

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Other time maybe a bit quieter, but great to see

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.719
<v Speaker 1>another goal attack, stick her hand up and be an

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 1>option in the silver fern environment and Kate. Great that

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Kate's back and she's getting back to her best because

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:54.159
<v Speaker 1>we know what she can do in that black dress.

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Do we want to do low lights with each team

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>or not? For me, it was just disappointing that they

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 1>beat the mistakes. They got within one of the mystics

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in Dunedin and they got within four, so for me

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that was just that would be for them, really disappointed

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't finish those games.

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I don't think we should do a low light

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 2>to steal because yeah, I still I mean Alia done.

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>You could case to answer or case to put up

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 2>for all. It's just about every player actually, so I

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>think you can argue they've come on from that.

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:28.479
<v Speaker 1>It does show. It shows when you don't have a shooter,

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>which they lost their shooters at the start of two

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>seasons in a row, and then you finally do have

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 1>a shooter and Alia Dunn, who played well you know

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 1>as much as any we love our mid corners. Shooters

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>make a big difference.

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, that's why they're there.

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And when you think about it, that team They had

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 1>the most changes in any other team at the start

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 1>of the season, six changes. They had two new coaches,

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>so they did pretty well to get fourth, so they

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:53.199
<v Speaker 1>can only get better next year. Okay, moving up to

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 1>the Magic, they finished in fifth position. Low light for

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 1>me for them is just as you said, Jen, we

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>just didn't see that continuity from last year. We all

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>thought that's why we had them in the top three.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>They were going to push on. They had the potential

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and a little bit for me, I just don't think

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Echinaccio was at her best this season for the Magic,

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So for me, that was just a little bit disappointing.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>She did have the most accurate two point shots at

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>fifty eight percent. She was actually the only player that

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>got over fifty percent with her two pointers. I would

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 1>have liked to have seen more from her.

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I would agree with that. Interesting though, wasn't it,

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I think that they had the least fewest.

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe yeah, I can't think who it was, and so

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:39.919
<v Speaker 2>I thought, oh, it's good, it's good, but it wasn't

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 2>so hard to know. And you know, Georgia Tong. Wish

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 2>her well in her retirement, but it will be fascinating

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to see what they do next year.

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>They're going to need more defensive firepower. I don't think

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>they picked up enough ball attacking wise, Yes, there was

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>some brilliant place save you two. I think MVP virtually

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:03.399
<v Speaker 1>every single game because of that beautiful smile and the

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>way she takes that ball. But if they do really

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 1>want to compete and get into that top three, I

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they need to look further afield for a

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 1>defensive player that's really going to come up for ball.

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>In saying that the one player I thought that came

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 1>up with a huge mable George Edgecombe. I thought she

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>was outstanding at when defense and deserves a silver FIRN Trial.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Well I've got her as my highlight of the Magic

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>is the rise of Georgia edgekamb in fact and saying

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>defensive games, Erin and Makatyk picked up a lot of

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>ball in the game just gone when they push the pulse.

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>But as you say, she will need someone in that

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>goal circle with her. Or how long has Erin and McCarty.

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Gone, Well, that's a very good question.

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>She might not be there as well. So I think

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 1>for all of us Magic, we had you in our

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>top three. All three of us. Your rascals made us

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>look Sully okay. And then the Stars. Boy, well, they've

0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 1>had a tough old season. I think it's probably fair

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>to say the injury woes. I did that game with you. No,

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I did that game. I were watching, we were in

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the crowd. I mean, it's never nice to see any

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 1>plague off the court. They had three from the same

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 1>team in a wheelchair, all get rolled off the court.

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 1>So disappointing. But as I said in commentary the other night,

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, they would have had a huge amount of

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>growth for Bubby in her first season. What she would

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>have learned as a coach. She would have had to

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>have dug deep within herself to problem solve, to deal

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>with adversity and resilience, and she can only grow from that.

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm hopeful for what Bubby can do with that franchise.

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, and I feel the same also too. You know,

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 2>losing Monica Faulkner that way through the season there to

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>ACLS and you just think, oh jeep, so oh boy.

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wonder if as a player, you'd be

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 2>willing Timmy param not to call you and you know,

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 2>see if you want to play. But no, yeah, I mean,

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing she can say.

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>We just hope that Timmy Putter is about to go

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>on holiday because she certainly deserves it, and because you

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 1>will be drained as a coach at the end of

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the season. And when we spoke to Timmy Putter, you know,

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 1>she spoke about you know, you go over everything at

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>night and your brain about could I have done this?

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>What should I have done differently? And that would have

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>she would have lost a lot of sleep this season.

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 1>So I really do hope she has a big holiday.

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>As to your point earlier, Gen, I think all those

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 1>new coaches, you saw how spectacular they can be, and

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.119
<v Speaker 1>they all would have learned a lot this season. What

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>will be interesting? Do they bring Charlie Bell back? Did

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Remy Carmo do enough to lead? I think I don't

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>think Bubby. Did she select them?

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know that she did. I think this

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 2>next team.

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Here will be hers.

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be interestelling will she bring both of those

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>two players? About who will she bring back? Who knows?

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>As we heard Maddie say, no one knows a lot

0:28:57.800 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just yet, so a lot that I think a lot's

0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna happened in the next month, And well, they'll need

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Kate Burley to come back. She's obviously recovering from Planta

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Fasher and yet sort of forget, you know, the players

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that have remained like merely really Buchanan, Wilson, really Buchanan's

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>coming back with her own injury. She's not at her

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 1>best yet, so she's still recovering from her acroikin. Takes

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a good twelve months until you're back at your best.

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.959
<v Speaker 1>I saw Griers and Claire who she was ACR as

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>well at the game, the Mystics Technics game in the weekend. Amazing,

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>she had surgery, she's had surgery, and she was she

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>was walking so well, and I do feel like you

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>get the sense, I don't know who well, but you

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like she's going to be that person that will

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>do everything to get back on there. She was walking

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>very fit that first game when she did it, and

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I felt so sorry for her because she looked like

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>she'd done the work in the off season and that

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>will be helping her recovery. To write the fact that

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>she started at such a good but really heartwarming to

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>see that her recovery is started in a really good place.

0:29:57.960 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>We talk about lost with the Stars side I think

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>we have to mention that, you know, Bubby being the coach,

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 1>her assistant Leana Debrain, has suffered huge devastation as well.

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>This year she lost her brother and then a month

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.640
<v Speaker 1>later she loses her mother. So you know, Bubby's been

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>dealing with coaching this team, supporting her mate who's dealt

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>with a huge amount of loss. But I think perhaps

0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that may have put perspective in a lot of people's

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>lives in the team that you know, yes, Snipple's a

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>big part of your life and it's the game you play,

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of the day, gosh, it's family

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>that matters. So you know they've dealt with a lot. Okay, well,

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that wraps the last three teams. Let's look forward to

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the finals that is coming up, the elimination

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Final Tactics over the Pulse. They've played each other twice

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>this year. In round six it went the way of

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the Tactics sixty one fifty two. Rounds ago, round eight

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>it was fifty nine fifty to the Pulse. So we've

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 1>heard from Maddie their Pulse have been up and down

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>as the Tactics have just been having lost to the

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Mystics in the last round, where is it going to

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>be won or lost? Jenny, How significant is to pass

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Salby Reckitt going to be for the Tactics.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think if the Pulse can manage to isolate her,

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 2>as Maddie was suggesting they might, that could be the answer.

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 2>But I just am still trying to unpick that game

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the other day, between the Tactics and the Mystics. I

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't for a moment think that it would be that

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 2>one sided. And I still can't quite believe that, you know,

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 2>that was the result. But wow, it looked to me

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 2>like Berger and Watson just had no answer for Danelle Wallam.

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 2>And I was thinking about how many times they would

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>have played her, and I'm thinking take away the preseason,

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that they would have.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Donna mentioned just once in pre season she said, yeah,

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 1>So what I found really surprising in that game was

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Walem you know, they would just going one on one

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>against Wallam, I know, and they were, you know, Jane

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>was getting smoked, like Wallam was doing an outstanding job

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of holding her angles, holding high, doing all those things

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you want a goal shoot to do. And I found

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it fascinating that Burger continued to stay on Viillie because

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Voi wasn't shooting. She didn't shoot many. If I look back,

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Vuie only shot. Where is she? You know she shot

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a few in the end, but she wasn't really a

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>threat and she doesn't do much outside the circle. Vote

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 1>So Burger, get in the circle, go two on Wallom.

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I agree, and I wonder if that's the sort of

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>thing the Pulse will learn from watching those sorts of games,

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 1>because obviously it's a it's They've got Walmsley Warmsey, same thing.

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 1>She's been taking that high ball really well? Do you

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>double mark Warmsly? Tiana has not been shooting. She hangs

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 1>around outside the shooting circle. And if you're hanging out there,

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't shoot, you're not a shooting threat. So to

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>those yeah agree. Maturno's volume last week in thirty six

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>minutes of netbulls, she shot three goals. Now Wormsley shot

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>forty three out of forty three last week one hundred

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 1>percent game the week before forty six from forty one nine.

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>So Matuto and Massalla generally are averaging Matudo three from four,

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Mali Salah was eight from ten. You look at that

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and I agree, you'd go why would you put you'd

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>put two defenders back on Wormsley double team here, because

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you could probably you know, get it, get into Warmsley

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and keep them, keep Matudo and Mali Sella on their own,

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>just pick them up as they come on. And you

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>might not be tight both tight and warms You might

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>have someone that's you know, hunting a little bit more

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.640
<v Speaker 1>but still close to that circle so you can pick

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>up that that lob will come sprinting through for the

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>lob take that back space. But yeah, I did find

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that quite intriguing in that Tactics game, and it was

0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit like and again, how much would the

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Pulse have learned that when when TP wasn't involved, That's

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>when the Tactics really struggle. When they actually started catching

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>back up again was when TP got in the circle

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and she started shooting. And then that actually they got

0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>on a bit of a momentuming the Tactics and I

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>mean that school flattered them at the end. It was

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 1>only what fourteen, but that was because TP, you know,

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 1>shot about five two pointers in a row. But I

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:12.919
<v Speaker 1>actually think and they will have they would have done

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the analysis of that Tactics game, but I think that

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>would have told them a lot about what potentially to

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>do against the tactics, saying that we haven't seen a

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of defenders, you know, double team the goal shooters

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 1>this year, so I will be fascinated to see if

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>either team do that the tactics. The big question for

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Donner is who's she going to start bird or Salmon.

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I think i'd go bird. I'd start with

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>the height in there. Who will she be up against? Yes?

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.839
<v Speaker 2>But that was interesting, wasn't it? Because TP with us?

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Didn't she say yes? What did she say? She said

0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:47.760
<v Speaker 2>she preferred playing with well, implied she preferred playing with salmon.

0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Did she she looked more comfortable with salmon in the

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 1>second half? I thought, yeah, Salmon moves well, but I

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 1>just think they can They can see bird a bit.

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 2>The bird has an extra I looked it up. She's

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot taller, Yes, three sent meters taller.

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm with you. I would start with a bird,

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 1>but I wouldn't muck around bringing salmon on if it

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't if it wasn't working. And that's that's the pressure

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>of these finals, right The coaches, they've got to make

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>their decisions pretty quickly before the gap gets too big.

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Of course we've We've talked to Maddie. We've seen her

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 1>swing into that wing attack position. That's been great. Simpson

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 1>at Gold Defense, she did well there in the in

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the weekend.

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's funny, isn't it, Because you think of Gaby

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Simpson and you don't think a tall player.

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.359
<v Speaker 1>You think she was always a hustler, real Aussie wing

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>defense that got in the area. So what are we

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.959
<v Speaker 1>going for this one? Who's who's going Tactics, Who's going Pole?

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm going to put my with a queen of yes,

0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 2>of hopeless choicing. I think the Poles will take it,

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think we'll come through and we'll have another

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 2>repeat of last year's.

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Grand Final Pols Mystics. I'm going to go Tactics just

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 1>purely because I'm a Kenab and they're playing at home,

0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and I actually want the Tactics to win pulsive one

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:04.760
<v Speaker 1>at three times at someone else's turn, the Tactics mistics.

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping for that for the Grand Final. I literally

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:12.280
<v Speaker 1>do not know, you do not care. I don't actually

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 1>play for neither team, don't have but it is to

0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 1>me I find it really hard to pick because of

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the inconsistency, and we've spoken about this all season. Hit

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>on the line of Dean, We've just done it. I

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 1>would then go Technics. They're at home, and I think

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 1>that they have been getting really good crowds at home,

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think that will be you know, the eight flat.

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I know it's not supposed to influence umpires and things,

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, subconsciously you wonder if it's a fifty

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 1>to fifty call and the whole crowd screaming at you

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.760
<v Speaker 1>if you just slightly lean towards the red and black.

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So because of home advantage nothing else, I'm going to

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>say Technics.

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But haven't the crowd's been great. I mean we've had

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 2>sellout crowds out at Trusts. Yes, we haven't seen those

0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 2>for years, which is, you know, so fabulous.

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>My mate came up from Blenham and wanted to go

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>online and buy a ticket sold out, couldn't get one.

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, you should have just rocked up to Trust

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 1>arena and I'm sure you would a snack in, but yeah,

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't get one.

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Well she probably couldn't have. Actually, anyway, we won't. We've

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.400
<v Speaker 2>just I've just got it. I really want this is

0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 2>so impressive. When I was reading about Amarani Melisella. She

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:28.799
<v Speaker 2>is going to be admitted to the bar in November,

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.799
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, I love the fact she's obviously just

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 2>loves the drama. And she's also going to be admitted

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>with her sister. Yeah, and they're going to be they're

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 2>both fluent and terreo and someone and you just think

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Jeepers Netball has so many of these sort of people.

0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And what I love about her too, she knows her role.

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's not sulking on the sideline because I

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:55.200
<v Speaker 1>want to start. You know, she knows her role, and

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>her role has been to come on and have impact

0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and come on normally in that last five minute, and

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.440
<v Speaker 1>she's embraced that. I mean that's pretty cool because as

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 1>we all know, you want to start, that's normally the

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 1>feeling you start from. But she gets that wider picture,

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>which is pretty cool. Well, she secured it for them.

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>She was the buzzer beater in that game on the

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>weekend that secured the win to get them into that

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.919
<v Speaker 1>elimination final. So very impressive. Before we go, SECN are

0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 1>finishing up gen.

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:23.759
<v Speaker 2>They are, they found their top four. All we're not

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 2>all played but they've got the minor semi final and

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the Major semi final minus semi final on Saturday. That

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 2>will be the Thunderbirds at home to the Victims. Now

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 2>that's a sudden death. If you lose, you know you're off.

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.800
<v Speaker 2>But the big one Sunday at six is the Fever

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 2>versus the Swift. Now that you you know, if you lose,

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.040
<v Speaker 2>you still have a life, and so the loser of

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 2>that match will play the winner of the other. So

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:51.880
<v Speaker 2>that's slightly different systems.

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:55.440
<v Speaker 1>We do it like that, yes, we Why we changed

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>because I think, you know, the Mystics aren't going to

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 1>get a weekend off right straight through to the ground

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and final, and it's always a tough fun do you

0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>want to keep playing? I'm sure they will have a game,

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 1>they'll probably play them main, but yeah, it's an interesting one.

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I prefer the way that the Ossies do it,

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.399
<v Speaker 1>and you have the Major Major, Minor and then then.

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 2>So best of luck to the Swift. I sort of

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:18.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like, you know, Casey Corper has done her thing

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 2>with the Giants, and I presume she's probably back.

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Home game on prepared her for that. Keep watching game

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday. Tuesday nights on TV three. I think it is.

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we should at the end say how good

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the Mystics were. By the way as well, because I

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like Mistis fans are going to be like, you

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk about the Mystics and they played really well,

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So shout out to the Mystics. They were very, very good.

0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 2>And didn't matter who went on the court, like when

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Holly Ray went on, I thought she was outstanding. Every

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:50.800
<v Speaker 2>every player.

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 1>We will focus a lot on them next week because

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:56.759
<v Speaker 1>we will be previewing that Grand Final next week. Of course,

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it is the elimination final on Sunday between the Tactics

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and that seven forty kickoff, and then we will wrap

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that game and then preview the big one, the Grand Final.

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Look forward to having you back next week. Until then,

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:11.920
