But first World News, there's a bit floating 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.440 around this week, Jen, you wanted more women supporting women? 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:30.360 How about would be Goldberg's or Women's Sports Network agreeing 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:35.200 to broadcast super NETFAK to more than sixty five countries 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.040 over the next three years. I mean, she's answering you call. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.640 Well, that's right, she is. But then when I thought 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.160 about it, I thought, okay, what was it? Sixty five countries? 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.600 So do you really think that the women in those 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.680 countries are going? 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.400 I just wanted a bit more, a bit more detail. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.360 How do you want? 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.080 You ask a lot a start? It is a start, 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:57.960 It is a start, but I want to know more. 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.760 That's fair more. You heard a little bit more while 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.560 you were in Australia over the weekend. Yes, I had 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.200 a little weekend in Sydney. No I watched the news, 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.000 and I think it was so Sophia Thorn said, if 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.240 you can't see it, you can't be it. So you've 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.920 got to get more of our competition out in that 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.800 global reaction. And as Liz Alla said, yes, our sport 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.040 is a global sport because fifty country is paying it 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.880 for But this opens the global reach out to so 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.920 many more nine hundred million households, you know, sixty five countries. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.280 That's got to help obviously the sun Court. But we've 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.559 surely got a benefit from it as well our sport. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.039 But how do we latch onto it? 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.440 That is the next question. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:38.360 That's the next question. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.039 I mean, yeah, how how I mean, I think good 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.000 on her, you know, go sister, act more people. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.360 I mean, this is this is the first global media 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:53.000 channel dedicated exclusively to showcasing women's sports, So that itself 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.440 is a pretty cool achievement from Willy Goldberg. Yeah, well, 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.600 things that can come from it a commercial sponsorship. You know, 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.240 the more we see it, the more people want to 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.600 invest in our sport, and that's what we need. And 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.440 didn't you hear as well that it was actually Whippy 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:13.119 that saw neckball like approach neckball. She reached out through 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.680 social media channel. She saw some little social post, approached 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.680 Australian Netball and the rest is history. So I just 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.680 think that's so cool, right. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.680 Well, I want to be excited about it. I just 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.240 will be excited when I see the next step and 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.160 when I know how. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:31.440 To watch it. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.040 Well, they're trying to get her over for the sun 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.760 Caught Netball Grand Final, So I imagine seeing Whopopy Goldberg 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.480 sitting in the in the final between between the who, 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.240 the Swifts and the Giants. Casey. Casey and Grace were 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.160 on each other on the weekend cheap as. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.880 That was a good game, wasn't it. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.040 The Star versus the Icon, That's what it was. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.160 And I thought honors were pretty shared by the end 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.639 of the game because the Giants just went straight out 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.799 and they got that massive lead and then the Swifts 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.960 and you know then Grace sort of shook us out 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:00.840 down and. 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.600 They, I mean they won. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.079 It was I thought it was fab They're learning how 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.600 to feed her now as how'sbee seed? You turn and 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.400 you can see this great physique in this presence in 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.000 the circle. Just let it go. I mean, Casey had 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.079 her own four games, but yeah. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.079 Yep, absolutely, I thought honest shed as. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.040 We spoke about. She was a high jumper. She knows 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.000 how to jump, she's strong. Give her the ball, she's 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.240 the dream. Goalshoot if you're a wing attack. More news 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.600 out from around the world. Any world Netble announcing a 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.560 Netble World Cup every two years. The next World Cup 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.920 is in Sydney twenty twenty seven, or future World Cups 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.360 will be in November, so we know a definite month 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.839 of the year, so the next one after that would 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.800 be November twenty twenty nine. A good decision, yeah, I 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.520 think so, given that we don't know about the longevity 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:55.880 of the Commonwealth Games. We're not an Olympic sport yet. Yes, yes, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.960 you know, the more visible, the more visible our sport 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.600 is out there, then it's it's got to be a 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.560 great thing. So a lot of people are saying it 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.280 might dumb down the competition because you know, when it's 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.240 every four years, it's a bit more of a prestige. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.080 But I think I think two years is fantastic, you know, 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:15.560 I don't. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.440 I mean I think it is too and I think 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.200 you know, rowing has a World Cup every year. I mean, 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.760 you just just keep it coming. I just think, you know, 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.640 push it push it. We do need to pin down 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.120 twenty twenty nine where that World Cup will be. I 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.800 mean I guess, well, who knows where it'll be. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.880 Often might just in at southern northern hemisphere. I suppose 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.280 it's whoever's got the money, But I think too smart 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.120 from World nit Well, that's how they make their money 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.080 as a World Cup. So if you're you're basically doubling 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.120 your money, I mean you're doubling your expenses, but you're 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:51.760 giving yourself another opportunity to fund nitball as a global reach. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.240 They are Jenny to your point earlier when we were 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.760 spoking off here, no one has picked up Fast five though, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.240 so you are sacrificing that. Yeah. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.240 I was interested to read that because I thought, oh, okay, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:04.440 it was always quite popular. 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.520 I thought it was almost and always. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.520 Was it run its core. So you know how sometimes 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.280 you have this it's like this big thing and then 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.000 it's I don't know. 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.000 It's a great party for particularly for a woman of 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:16.800 a certain age. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.920 I felt very much at home there. 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.480 And a men's World Cup, so they've not only gone, 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.720 you know, every two years the Men's Will Cup. I'm 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.000 a little bit dubious about the men's World Cup given 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.279 Australia are just so much better than everyone else, right, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.880 they thrash the Kiwi's. You know, they've just had a 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.600 big win over the English. So I think this is 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.520 a good step for men's netble, but I think the 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.600 first World Cup could be a bit of a whitewash, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:41.200 is it again? 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:41.479 Though? 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.640 With that wider goal of Olympics, it's not to have 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.960 men and women equivalent to you know, really get a 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:48.839 look at it, Olympic. See. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.120 It's interesting because I always thought that that was going 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.239 to be as an Olympic sport. I thought it would 0:05:54.240 --> 0:06:00.440 be playing fast five. So clearly they're ditching that idea. 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.559 Isn't that because we're now seeing the two point shot 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.280 in the normal than the traditional game. I suppose to 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.760 your student sent maybe they're saying that's which the way 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.120 it's going to do now because that was the big difference. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.800 I mean, obviously five is a seven players, but he 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.520 knows so a lot of news, a lot of world 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.880 news and positive news, I think, really absolute news for 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.680 our sport, which we so dearly need. Absolutely right, our 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.960 guest today is having a stellar season with the Mainland Tactics. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.640 She debuted for New Zealand in twenty sixteen, winning World 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.919 Cup gold in twenty nineteen. She spent nine seasons with 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.960 the Southern Steel, helping them win the Anzi Premiership in 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.800 twenty eighteen, before joining the Tactics in twenty twenty. She 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.640 has sixty four Test caps for the Silver Ferns, with 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.839 her most recent appearance during the twenty twenty three Networ 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.120 World Cup. Since then, however, she's been unavailable for selection. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.160 Will her form this year inspire a change of heart? 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.400 Welcome to PI us so great that you can join 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.600 us from what it looks like a very sunny day 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.880 in christ Church everyone, Yeah, thanks for having me. What 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.000 a season the Tactics have been having you yourself, look 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.880 as so you've got a whole new lease of life. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.800 You're just enjoy your net. Well what is it that's 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.360 bringing this brilliant form in twenty twenty five? 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.360 Yeah, I think we've got a really good mix of 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.600 a few of us older girls sort of over thirty, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.920 and then we've kind of like half of us are 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.280 like over thirty, like me, Ka Ali, Jane Cudden, and 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:31.480 then we've got a bit of a gap and then 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.600 we've got these really young talented girls coming through that 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.640 sort of keep us on our toes. Yeah, they keep 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.800 things sort of nice and fresh for us, and I 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.040 think it's really it's a really good mix. We learn 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.440 off them, they learn off us. So yeah, I think 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.800 for the last couple of years, we've been there and thereabouts, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.160 and it's been really disappointing, especially last year not to 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.800 make that final because we've got enough experience to be 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.280 able to do that. And I think this year, yeah, 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.760 we've got a new coach. She's brings up different like 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.800 I said, young players, old players, and I think it's 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.680 just coming together really nicely for us. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.000 So let's talk about that new coach because Donna, I guess, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.360 is from a Dean and Our kind of vintage. What 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.400 would be her strength you think that she brings to 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:16.560 this tactics environment. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.680 I think she's, as you guys know, she's really direct. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.760 She doesn't fluff around anything. If there's something that you 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.320 need to work on, she will let you know and 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.960 she will work at it with you, so you're you're 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.880 never left kissing like, oh what do I need to do? 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.040 And she's really she keeps it really simple as well. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.679 There might be only one or two things that she 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.840 really want you to focus on, but she wants you 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.600 to do it really well. So yeah, I've really enjoyed 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.120 having her. And we're lucky enough. She's not entirely new 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.640 to us. She's been around our environment for a while. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.439 She's done a bit of stuff with Ferns over the 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.160 last couple of years, so it's not like she's coming 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.960 into Super Green. She's got lots of experience. She knows 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.720 the players. Yeah, and I've actually loved having her as 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.480 like I said, it's not many specialist shooter coaches around 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.439 these days, and so we're really lucky to have it. Also, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.400 her basketball background is really good. I played a bit 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.120 of basketball too growing up, so I understand some of 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.600 the stuff that she's trying to do with us. You know, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.160 she's big on like boxing out and screens and things 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.000 like that, which I really enjoy. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.640 And of course standing next to her to part is 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.760 your sister, now, how does that work? 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.439 Yeah, it's weird. A lot of people ask that question, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.000 but I don't see her as my sister. When we 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.319 were at neckball, It's not like we're we argue and 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.800 stuff at training or always hanging out together. She's just 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.760 to me, she's just another When I played with her, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.240 she was just another player. I treat her as another 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.520 player at training, and now she's just another coach to me. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.440 She does things We're very different. She does things that 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.560 I'm not good at, like defence. That's something that that's 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.600 her area, and so I never question or disagree with her. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.880 And I'm more of an attacker. So it works quite well. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:09:59.840 I guess it's great for mum and dad because they 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.800 don't have to support two different teams. But yeah, I 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.520 don't even the girls say they don't even really, if 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.280 you didn't know that we were sisters, you would never 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.079 guess because we're so different and we have our own 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.559 strengths and we sort of just sort of stick to that. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.640 We Your strengths this year have been many. You have 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.160 been shooting beautifully, your court work. Last year, you made 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.040 yourself unavailable for selection for the Ferns. Are you tempted 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.840 to throw your name back in there for selection because 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.120 you certainly have got the form for it. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.640 Nah, I haven't really considered doing that. I've really enjoyed 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.640 the balance that I've had the last couple of years, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.640 just focusing on ain' Z. My body's really good. I 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.720 have zero injuries. I'm actually the only one. I like 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.880 to try this. I'm the only one in our team 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.959 that hasn't had a physio appointment this year. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:47.640 Wow. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.400 So I like saying that because I'm one of the oldest. Yeah, 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.839 since I used to have lots of playing netball for 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.000 the whole year round would take quite a toll on 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.920 the body. I as have really bad achilles and that's 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.280 all gone. Now I'm able to spend more time with family, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.720 do a bit of study, and so I really enjoyed 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.640 that balance. So it's kind of hard being like, oh, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.800 do I go back into that sort of full time 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.560 netball all year round type thing at the moment. The 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.800 answer is no, but yeah, you never know. But yeah, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.800 like I said, I'm enjoying the balance at the moment. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.440 So long term, you'll just be happy to be an 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.760 A and Z player for the next Yeah. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.880 Well, I'm actually quite old now. I don't know if 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.120 you guys realize. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.080 You're still not us. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.760 We do, we do, And. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.560 I struggle to keep up with some of these young 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.000 girls these days. They're so fit and fast and full 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.120 of energy, And yeah, I think it's I've spent eight 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.120 years in the ferns environment, and as much as I 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.319 loved it, I think it's time probably just to let 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.559 those new girls come through. There's so much talent coming through, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.800 especially in the goal attack position at the moment, so 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.760 I think it's, yeah, it's their time to shine. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.160 So you say, you, you know, you haven't had many 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.880 injuries or anything like that, So what's the key? What's 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.320 what are you doing? Are you training more, are you working? 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:00.680 What are you doing studying? 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.160 I did study last year. I've just been doing a 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.000 bit of part time work at for tomining old Okoua 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.840 as well outside of netball, which I really enjoyed working 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.960 on projects there. And yeah, with the injuries, I don't know. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.520 I just feel like my body is at the point 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.880 where I know what I need to do. I know 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.640 what I do best to recover. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.240 Training smarter, training smarter. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.120 Smarter exactly. Yeah, which is for probably the last three years, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.840 I haven't had a single injury or any type of niggle. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.480 So it's been really good because, yeah, the niggles, injuries 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.080 take a toll mentally, so it's just been really nice 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.319 to just be healthy and injury free. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.199 It's awesome that you can just see that you're enjoying it, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.400 which is and great to emphasize that balance. I think 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.480 that's such an important message to have. Look next year, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.280 when New Zealand have confirmed there is going to be 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:03.240 a competition, what that looks like. No one really knows. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.720 In the next few years. If you were to stay 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.800 in that ain z environment, what would you want the 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.959 competition to look like? I mean, how have you felt 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.640 about two rounds versus three? You know, if you had 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.640 your wishless, what would it be? 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.600 I reckon it'd been pretty cool to see. I know 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.400 it's a pretty tough space when it bought the moment, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.079 but to see another team potentially come into the competition, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.360 I don't know where, but I think if we can 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.520 have more opportunities for players in New Zealand, it can 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.600 only do good things for us. But I have actually 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.240 really enjoyed the two the two rounds, yeah, I feel 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:44.040 like it keeps players fresh. I think playing that third game, 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.640 it was always a little bit like, oh my gosh, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.360 this is the third time. Sometimes you would have played 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.959 them in pre season as well, and you might even 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.640 play them again in final was it kind of gets 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.600 a bit boring after the fourth time that you're playing 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.559 a team, so I think, yeah, just the two rounds 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:02.480 keeps it more exciting. But yeah, I don't know. Good question. Yeah, 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:03.880 I think it'll be cool in the future to see 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:04.400 another team. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.679 Would you consider going overseas yourself, because I mean you're 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.920 saying you're unavailable for the food, so that actually opens 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.280 the door for you don't have to worry about this 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:13.600 eligibility chat. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.600 Yeah. True, I haven't actually thought about that. I think 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.680 I don't know. It could be an option, but it's 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.000 not really something I've thought about. I'm just I've just 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.760 been focusing on our competition. Oh are you there? 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.600 Yep? Still got us? 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.480 Oh my screen just cut out there? All right. I've 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.080 just been focusing on our team and our comp this year. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.840 But yeah, overseas could be an option. Like, I'm not 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.280 restricted or anything like that, but like I said earlier, 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.240 I am getting older. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.600 So what they like when you're a players? Look, okay, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:43.920 got more over the moment. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.480 Yeah, exactly, true. Yeah, it's really exciting. I do watch 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.320 the Gussie comps most of the games, and it's yeah, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.280 it's a really it's a really good competition and it's 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.400 really exciting, very different to ours. I think that man 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.440 that man on the style that they play would be 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.600 tough every week. But yeah, I don't know. I haven't 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.560 really considered going over there the techtics. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.600 You've only lost one game this year, and it happens 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.840 to be against the Stars, so we're sitting at the 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.160 bottom of the table. Crazy. Do you feel like you 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.680 guys have got the winning culture now you've been sitting 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.280 at the top of the letter along with the mistics. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.640 Do you feel like you can go all the way 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:20.080 this year? 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.560 Yeah, definitely, one hundred percent. I will. I felt like 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.520 that other years as well, and it hasn't happened. But 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.800 I think that there's more of it with Donna brings 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.480 that ruthless mentality. She Yeah, she's just got She's just 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.880 such a winner. She hates losing. We're never ever complacent 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.440 in our team, even though we'd, like you said, we've 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.080 had a few wins. We're never sitting there thinking that 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.360 there's always things to work on, there's always things to 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.400 improve on. And she's really ruthless in that respect and 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.120 making sure that we're practicing things that we need to 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.960 or like at the last few games, we haven't really 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.960 really been good on the fourth quarter So that's been 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.760 our for focus this week or the last couple of weeks, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.000 is to make sure that we're finishing quarters, we're closing 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.320 out the game, because it hasn't been too much of 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.160 an issue in the last couple of games because we've 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.080 been had a bit of a margin, But in those 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.280 tight games and the finals, it's going to cost us. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.280 So that's something that we're really going to be working 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.560 on and hopefully you'll see against the Pulse this weekend 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.480 that we're going to close out the game really nicely. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.440 I was going to ask you about the Pulse game 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.960 because I think Donna had a season or two for 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.880 the Pulse with Robbie Broughton, didn't she. So I wonder 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.840 if you know this is a particularly big game for her. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.120 Have you been, you know, any tactics for her for 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.000 your game at the weekend. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.960 Well, we've just talked about that they're hurting at the moment. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.120 They've lost three in a row now, and that they're 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.280 not used to, you know, that sort of they're winning. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.560 They come from a winning culture and we really want 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.040 to punish them and make it a fourth. But in 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.000 saying that, having lost three games, they're going to really 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.560 want to win this one, so they're going to come 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.320 out really strong, they'll be really physical, and they'll be 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.720 going for everything. So we're just we're prepared for that 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.920 and I'm actually looking forward to it. It was a really 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.840 good game against them last time. I thought we played 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.479 really well at home, but it's different when you're playing 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.119 away from you know, playing away and playing at TESP, 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.720 they always get really good crowds. Their crowd gets behind them, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:20.479 so you can never ever be complacent complacent against players. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.080 They've got six silver ferns in there, and even though 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.359 they haven't probably been playing as good as they'd like 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.840 the last few games, you just you know that any 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.880 time they can come out and having to play out 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.639 standing and have a really good game with all the 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.520 experience and expected I've got. So yeah, it's going to 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:37.320 be a good one, I reckon. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.760 And they're gonna be desperate because they actually need the 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.760 win to keep in the hunt for the elimination finals. 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.280 So no, it's going to be a great match. We 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.480 haven't seen your wing tach yet, Teaps. We had Donner 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.640 on the podcast a few weeks at she said she's 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.640 got that one in the back of her mind. 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:55.159 Just I know I've tried. I've always said, give me 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.920 a go, give me a please, and like whenever people 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.480 get injured a few times Marianne other years be like, oh, 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.359 just you know, I've got you in the back of 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.600 my mind. And even this year with Eric Khanna with 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.479 her injuries, Donnad was like, I'm gonna put you. We're 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.160 gonna take. But it's never actually happened. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:10.960 So three rounds to go. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.359 It can't be that hard. It can't be that you 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:14.240 don't have to shoot. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.199 Oh yes, but you've got to be pinpoint accurate with 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:17.800 your passes. 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:21.160 But actually I can just stand at the center pass. 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.880 And hold well, you'll be able to because you're nice 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.000 and tall, exactly, can sight in the circle right before 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.199 we let you go. We every week we do a 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.240 fast five. So we've just got some quick five questions. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.600 You can give us as much or as little information 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:35.600 as you like. 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.200 Look past five on inside Netball. 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.960
