00:04:28,747 --> 00:04:29,867
Speaker 2: first Big Bash campaign?

77
00:04:30,987 --> 00:04:33,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, it was it was

78
00:04:33,147 --> 00:04:34,147
Speaker 4: a good tournament.

79
00:04:34,187 --> 00:04:37,147
Speaker 5: I think it's one of those tournaments that you look

80
00:04:37,227 --> 00:04:39,427
Speaker 5: back and it was Yeah, it was a good tournament,

81
00:04:39,467 --> 00:04:41,307
Speaker 5: but you always, you know, look to do better and

82
00:04:41,627 --> 00:04:44,707
Speaker 5: could have definitely done better in some games, but that's

83
00:04:44,707 --> 00:04:45,907
Speaker 5: sometimes nature of the beast.

84
00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:49,347
Speaker 4: But on the whole, really.

85
00:04:49,147 --> 00:04:51,907
Speaker 5: Enjoyed my first big Bash and did it well for

86
00:04:51,947 --> 00:04:53,267
Speaker 5: the team, which helps as well.

87
00:04:53,427 --> 00:04:56,547
Speaker 2: You've been playing T twenty cricket for over a decade now,

88
00:04:56,587 --> 00:04:59,147
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty plus matches. You reckon, You've got

89
00:04:59,187 --> 00:05:01,707
Speaker 2: your batting game pretty much worked out now.

90
00:05:02,707 --> 00:05:05,987
Speaker 5: Yeah, to be honest, you're always learning and that's one

91
00:05:06,347 --> 00:05:08,947
Speaker 5: exciting thing about playing and all these leagues around the

92
00:05:08,987 --> 00:05:12,387
Speaker 5: world that you are playing with and against the world's

93
00:05:12,427 --> 00:05:17,387
Speaker 5: best players, so you know, learning from them is also

94
00:05:17,547 --> 00:05:21,867
Speaker 5: part of being involved in some of these teams. But yeah, look,

95
00:05:21,947 --> 00:05:24,827
Speaker 5: I think the experience, like anything, no matter what you do,

96
00:05:25,827 --> 00:05:30,187
Speaker 5: your game gets better and the conference you have gets

97
00:05:30,227 --> 00:05:32,947
Speaker 5: bigger as well. So yeah, very happy where my game

98
00:05:33,027 --> 00:05:35,987
Speaker 5: is at the moment, and hopefully it can keep on

99
00:05:36,107 --> 00:05:40,107
Speaker 5: going for another ten for another decade.

100
00:05:40,227 --> 00:05:43,187
Speaker 2: I remember watching you early in your T twenty career.

101
00:05:43,227 --> 00:05:46,027
Speaker 2: You'd play a lot of scoops and ramp shots. Now

102
00:05:46,027 --> 00:05:49,067
Speaker 2: we're watching you're more of a power hitter. As the

103
00:05:49,107 --> 00:05:52,627
Speaker 2: way you bat in T twenty cricket evolved and changed

104
00:05:52,707 --> 00:05:53,947
Speaker 2: much over the years.

105
00:05:55,107 --> 00:05:56,587
Speaker 4: I don't think it's changed too much.

106
00:05:56,627 --> 00:06:01,347
Speaker 5: I think it's just understanding when those shots you know

107
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:04,147
Speaker 5: are to come out and when it's sometimes a high

108
00:06:04,227 --> 00:06:07,827
Speaker 5: risk playing all those you know scoops and reverse sweeps.

109
00:06:08,387 --> 00:06:10,987
Speaker 5: You know they put pressure on the bowler, but they

110
00:06:11,067 --> 00:06:14,707
Speaker 5: also high risk shot, so it's about just picking the

111
00:06:14,787 --> 00:06:17,787
Speaker 5: right times to do them rather than just kind of

112
00:06:17,827 --> 00:06:20,347
Speaker 5: having that as your first option and hoping for the

113
00:06:20,907 --> 00:06:21,427
Speaker 5: for the best.

114
00:06:21,427 --> 00:06:22,827
Speaker 4: So it's probably.

115
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:25,107
Speaker 5: About more planning who you're going to play, when you're

116
00:06:25,107 --> 00:06:28,027
Speaker 5: going to use it, which will help that consistency.

117
00:06:28,347 --> 00:06:31,267
Speaker 2: And alongside your batting keeping wicket as well, you're still

118
00:06:31,267 --> 00:06:33,587
Speaker 2: putting plenty of work into your wicket keeper.

119
00:06:33,747 --> 00:06:34,187
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.

120
00:06:34,347 --> 00:06:38,947
Speaker 5: I think that's one of my other sides that you know,

121
00:06:41,307 --> 00:06:44,907
Speaker 5: for these teams is huge. So it's not just playing

122
00:06:44,947 --> 00:06:48,827
Speaker 5: as a badder players a wicket keeper as well, but

123
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:51,227
Speaker 5: also if there was a local wicket keeper or someone

124
00:06:51,227 --> 00:06:52,427
Speaker 5: else is keeping.

125
00:06:52,947 --> 00:06:54,467
Speaker 4: Just playing as bad and fielding.

126
00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:58,667
Speaker 5: So it's always nice having you know, two options for

127
00:06:58,747 --> 00:07:01,987
Speaker 5: the selectors to pick your So yeah, definitely working hard

128
00:07:02,027 --> 00:07:03,307
Speaker 5: and we're keeping.

129
00:07:03,387 --> 00:07:06,347
Speaker 2: Still, how different is wicket keeping in T twenty cricket

130
00:07:06,427 --> 00:07:10,347
Speaker 2: when really only a handful of deliveries are actually going

131
00:07:10,387 --> 00:07:11,587
Speaker 2: to come through to you.

132
00:07:12,507 --> 00:07:14,507
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of it's a funny one.

133
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:17,067
Speaker 5: You don't touch more much in T twenty crickets, but

134
00:07:17,107 --> 00:07:19,827
Speaker 5: when you do, it's it's more likely an opportunity that

135
00:07:20,027 --> 00:07:21,387
Speaker 5: potentially could change the game.

136
00:07:21,547 --> 00:07:24,147
Speaker 4: So it's mentally, you know.

137
00:07:24,147 --> 00:07:26,387
Speaker 5: Expecting every ball is going to come to you, unlike

138
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:28,427
Speaker 5: kind of red bull cricket. One day cricket. You know,

139
00:07:28,467 --> 00:07:32,227
Speaker 5: you just get the ball more often, so mentally it's

140
00:07:32,427 --> 00:07:35,267
Speaker 5: not as tough because you know you're getting that ball.

141
00:07:35,307 --> 00:07:38,307
Speaker 5: But T twenty it's all all upstairs thinking that you

142
00:07:38,347 --> 00:07:39,187
Speaker 5: are going to get the ball.

143
00:07:39,267 --> 00:07:41,787
Speaker 4: So when you do get that opportunity, you take the most.

144
00:07:41,947 --> 00:07:45,347
Speaker 2: You take the opportunity and bowlers always trying new things

145
00:07:45,387 --> 00:07:47,787
Speaker 2: in T twenty, they lots of variations. I imagine that's

146
00:07:47,787 --> 00:07:50,627
Speaker 2: about as difficult for you as a wicket keeper as

147
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:51,587
Speaker 2: it is for a batsman.

148
00:07:52,387 --> 00:07:55,907
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's definitely a format that the bowlers are

149
00:07:55,947 --> 00:07:59,587
Speaker 5: changing up their deliveries the most. That's where you know,

150
00:07:59,627 --> 00:08:02,027
Speaker 5: as a keeper, you don't try and guess what that bowling.

151
00:08:02,787 --> 00:08:06,987
Speaker 5: You just have a steady base and hopefully that allows

152
00:08:07,027 --> 00:08:09,947
Speaker 5: you to react as fast as possible and get those opportunities.

153
00:08:09,987 --> 00:08:12,107
Speaker 2: So as you say, this is your first season just

154
00:08:12,147 --> 00:08:13,987
Speaker 2: completed in the Big Bash. But it's a two year

155
00:08:14,027 --> 00:08:16,107
Speaker 2: contract with the Renegades, isn't it. So you'll be back

156
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:16,587
Speaker 2: next summer.

157
00:08:17,347 --> 00:08:19,867
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely be back next year. Touch with no injuries

158
00:08:19,947 --> 00:08:23,467
Speaker 5: or any of that. But yeah, it's always nice having

159
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:26,667
Speaker 5: a two year deal. You know, some of these franchise

160
00:08:26,747 --> 00:08:29,227
Speaker 5: journey in for six weeks and tournaments over and you

161
00:08:29,347 --> 00:08:33,987
Speaker 5: go again. So it's nice to kind of build some relationships,

162
00:08:34,027 --> 00:08:38,427
Speaker 5: get to know the guys, the facilities. Marvel Stadium was

163
00:08:38,547 --> 00:08:41,667
Speaker 5: at the Wicked as well. So yeah, very excited to

164
00:08:42,187 --> 00:08:43,787
Speaker 5: go back next year and hopefully it's a bit of

165
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:44,667
Speaker 5: year for us.

166
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:46,947
Speaker 2: It's a really big league tim isn't it, The Big Bash?

167
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,707
Speaker 2: Full of stars. Did you have any pinch me moments

168
00:08:49,747 --> 00:08:51,507
Speaker 2: across the last few weeks.

169
00:08:51,547 --> 00:08:54,987
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does, because it's definitely a tornament you know

170
00:08:55,027 --> 00:08:57,747
Speaker 5: when you're when you're back home in New Zealand. It's

171
00:08:57,787 --> 00:09:00,187
Speaker 5: definitely a tournament that's watched so you know, you've been

172
00:09:00,227 --> 00:09:04,147
Speaker 5: watching the Big Bash for many years, watching you know,

173
00:09:04,227 --> 00:09:07,787
Speaker 5: the guys like Brendan McCallum and Chris Gay and you know,

174
00:09:07,827 --> 00:09:10,947
Speaker 5: all those superstars playing the Big best. So it was

175
00:09:10,947 --> 00:09:13,307
Speaker 5: definitely a tornament I hold of love to tick off

176
00:09:13,307 --> 00:09:16,547
Speaker 5: and to being involved in it. You know, it's as

177
00:09:16,587 --> 00:09:20,667
Speaker 5: good as what I thought. The crowds. I think lowest

178
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:26,067
Speaker 5: crowd was twenty thousand. The Amisphere atmosphere is just electric,

179
00:09:27,307 --> 00:09:29,907
Speaker 5: and yeah, it's just a great and great environment to plan.

180
00:09:30,227 --> 00:09:32,987
Speaker 2: And the life of a T twenty franchise cricketer. Your

181
00:09:33,147 --> 00:09:36,827
Speaker 2: life means you're straight from there into the International League

182
00:09:37,107 --> 00:09:40,547
Speaker 2: T twenty and the UAE with the Shah Warriors. It

183
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:43,347
Speaker 2: was only a couple of days, wasn't it between matches

184
00:09:43,347 --> 00:09:45,107
Speaker 2: for you Davis sort of wake up and wonder where

185
00:09:45,147 --> 00:09:46,947
Speaker 2: you are? Yeah, I do.

186
00:09:47,067 --> 00:09:49,827
Speaker 4: Actually, Yeah, so I arrived here the other.

187
00:09:49,787 --> 00:09:52,947
Speaker 5: Day three days ago and a bit a jet lag,

188
00:09:52,987 --> 00:09:54,667
Speaker 5: and I did wake up wondering where I was. So

189
00:09:54,707 --> 00:09:57,347
Speaker 5: I had to kind of have a little reminder that

190
00:09:57,427 --> 00:09:58,707
Speaker 5: I've just let it and do by.

191
00:09:58,787 --> 00:10:01,387
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's all part and pass of it.

192
00:10:02,787 --> 00:10:07,427
Speaker 5: There's so many tournaments around the world, you know, you

193
00:10:07,627 --> 00:10:09,227
Speaker 5: doesn't mean you're going to get picked up. You still

194
00:10:09,267 --> 00:10:12,227
Speaker 5: have to be performing and doing all that. But if

195
00:10:12,267 --> 00:10:15,867
Speaker 5: you are, opportunities do come about. And yeah, it's awesome

196
00:10:15,867 --> 00:10:18,267
Speaker 5: that these opportunities are coming about for me.

197
00:10:18,347 --> 00:10:20,827
Speaker 4: And yeah, the old Miles is getting up.

198
00:10:21,147 --> 00:10:23,587
Speaker 2: I bet, I bet they are. It's such a fast

199
00:10:24,147 --> 00:10:26,827
Speaker 2: and furious life, isn't it. The Big Bash is still

200
00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:30,387
Speaker 2: going the finals tomorrow night, You're already onto a different tournament,

201
00:10:30,467 --> 00:10:33,427
Speaker 2: so the overlap is there. Obviously you'll be disappointed not

202
00:10:33,467 --> 00:10:35,347
Speaker 2: to be in the Big Bass final, but is it

203
00:10:35,387 --> 00:10:37,827
Speaker 2: weird to think that you're just onto the next one

204
00:10:38,027 --> 00:10:38,827
Speaker 2: sort of just like that.

205
00:10:40,147 --> 00:10:43,027
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's disappointing not to be in finals and every

206
00:10:43,067 --> 00:10:45,227
Speaker 5: tournament that you are involved and you want to go

207
00:10:45,267 --> 00:10:49,267
Speaker 5: all the way and win it. But at the same time,

208
00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:52,507
Speaker 5: you know, when if you do get knocked out, excuse me,

209
00:10:52,547 --> 00:10:55,627
Speaker 5: when you do get knocked out. You know, there's I

210
00:10:55,627 --> 00:10:58,187
Speaker 5: think there's five tournaments going on at the moment around

211
00:10:58,227 --> 00:11:01,707
Speaker 5: the world. So with that many tournaments, there's always people

212
00:11:01,747 --> 00:11:05,787
Speaker 5: getting injured or opportunities coming up, so plans that are

213
00:11:05,827 --> 00:11:08,787
Speaker 5: available do get a phone call and you're away onto

214
00:11:08,787 --> 00:11:09,387
Speaker 5: these tournaments.

215
00:11:09,427 --> 00:11:11,907
Speaker 4: So it's great also from a cricketing point of view,

216
00:11:11,947 --> 00:11:13,947
Speaker 4: it's you've got to adapt as fast as possible.

217
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:19,027
Speaker 5: You know, pittures in Australia are completely different from pitches

218
00:11:19,067 --> 00:11:21,347
Speaker 5: here in Dubai and you might not have a training

219
00:11:21,387 --> 00:11:22,227
Speaker 5: in between.

220
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:23,747
Speaker 4: Two to get used to them.

221
00:11:23,787 --> 00:11:26,507
Speaker 5: So yeah, you've got to move fast on your feet.

222
00:11:26,787 --> 00:11:28,707
Speaker 2: I think we're all pretty familiar with the Big Bash,

223
00:11:28,747 --> 00:11:32,147
Speaker 2: but the International League T twenty is a newer competition.

224
00:11:32,187 --> 00:11:34,947
Speaker 2: What's the standard like, Yeah, it's good.

225
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:37,227
Speaker 5: So it's a bit of a different one compared to

226
00:11:37,227 --> 00:11:38,187
Speaker 5: all the other tournaments.

227
00:11:39,227 --> 00:11:41,587
Speaker 4: So you allowed nine overseas players.

228
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:45,947
Speaker 5: So and you're allowed to and you have to have

229
00:11:45,987 --> 00:11:51,667
Speaker 5: two local UAE players, So it's a high standard because

230
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:54,347
Speaker 5: a lot lot of overseas players all around the world.

231
00:11:55,187 --> 00:11:58,267
Speaker 5: And yeah, I've only played one game, but we've got

232
00:11:58,267 --> 00:12:01,987
Speaker 5: a game this afternoon so against fellow kiwe Locky Ferguson,

233
00:12:02,147 --> 00:12:04,627
Speaker 5: so yeah, it's going to be exciting. But yeah, it's

234
00:12:04,827 --> 00:12:06,347
Speaker 5: been a great standard from what I've seen.

235
00:12:06,907 --> 00:12:10,947
Speaker 2: And you mentioned before, Tom, five different franchise leagues going

236
00:12:10,987 --> 00:12:12,987
Speaker 2: on at this time of the year, the Big Bash,

237
00:12:13,027 --> 00:12:16,387
Speaker 2: the ILT twenty over in South Africa, Bangladesh and others,

238
00:12:16,907 --> 00:12:19,387
Speaker 2: and with them falling where they do at this time

239
00:12:19,427 --> 00:12:22,907
Speaker 2: in the calendar. Can you see yourself playing much or

240
00:12:22,947 --> 00:12:26,027
Speaker 2: any cricket for New Zealand or even for Northern Districts

241
00:12:26,027 --> 00:12:28,187
Speaker 2: in the next few seasons or do you think that

242
00:12:28,187 --> 00:12:29,187
Speaker 2: ship has now sailed?

243
00:12:30,107 --> 00:12:30,347
Speaker 6: No?

244
00:12:30,347 --> 00:12:35,507
Speaker 5: No, definitely not so yeah, finish here, start and then

245
00:12:35,547 --> 00:12:38,867
Speaker 5: I'll come back play for Northern Districts in the remaining

246
00:12:39,987 --> 00:12:43,227
Speaker 5: remaining one day games and four day games. So look,

247
00:12:43,547 --> 00:12:45,867
Speaker 5: I still want to play for New Zealand, still want

248
00:12:45,867 --> 00:12:49,547
Speaker 5: to play New Zealand and T twenties and odiis and

249
00:12:49,587 --> 00:12:51,267
Speaker 5: one of my big goals is try and make the

250
00:12:51,307 --> 00:12:55,867
Speaker 5: next T twenty World Cup and ODIO World Cup in

251
00:12:55,907 --> 00:12:58,187
Speaker 5: a few years. I think the T twenty World Cups

252
00:12:58,227 --> 00:13:00,507
Speaker 5: next year and then the One Day World Cups in

253
00:13:00,707 --> 00:13:03,147
Speaker 5: a couple of years after that. So that's still my

254
00:13:03,547 --> 00:13:06,587
Speaker 5: main focus. But just the way that cricket is going

255
00:13:06,627 --> 00:13:08,507
Speaker 5: at the moment, I've just kind of gone about it

256
00:13:08,547 --> 00:13:12,747
Speaker 5: a different way with these franchise cricket leagues. But no,

257
00:13:12,827 --> 00:13:15,467
Speaker 5: I still want to play for New Zealand as much

258
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:18,307
Speaker 5: as they can, and also I'll be playing for definitely

259
00:13:18,587 --> 00:13:20,067
Speaker 5: Northern Districts when I'm available.

260
00:13:20,187 --> 00:13:22,107
Speaker 2: That's good to hear. When it comes to playing for

261
00:13:22,147 --> 00:13:25,907
Speaker 2: New Zealand. The word mercenary has been thrown around a

262
00:13:25,907 --> 00:13:27,547
Speaker 2: lot when it comes to players like U Tim and

263
00:13:27,627 --> 00:13:30,547
Speaker 2: Luckie Ferguson playing on the T twenty circuit for the

264
00:13:30,587 --> 00:13:34,227
Speaker 2: reasons you've outlined. Do you know, though, where that leaves

265
00:13:34,227 --> 00:13:36,547
Speaker 2: you in the selection fold for the Black Caps.

266
00:13:37,147 --> 00:13:39,587
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not quite sure, to be honest, I think

267
00:13:39,587 --> 00:13:42,587
Speaker 5: it's probably still a bit of a moving part. I know,

268
00:13:44,707 --> 00:13:47,907
Speaker 5: you know, the shrinking series that just went in Schranker,

269
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:52,427
Speaker 5: they didn't pick many guys that weren't contracted, But at

270
00:13:52,427 --> 00:13:55,107
Speaker 5: the same time you know that.

271
00:13:55,547 --> 00:13:57,027
Speaker 4: They are, you know.

272
00:13:57,107 --> 00:14:00,867
Speaker 5: Looking to picking guys that aren't contracted I think for

273
00:14:01,467 --> 00:14:05,587
Speaker 5: Maine World Cups events and Big ICC events. So yeah,

274
00:14:05,627 --> 00:14:10,147
Speaker 5: hopefully you know that is a moving part. And hopefully

275
00:14:10,227 --> 00:14:13,987
Speaker 5: you know, there's a Pakistan series in New Zealand. I

276
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:17,307
Speaker 5: think in March that I'll be available for, so hopefully

277
00:14:17,867 --> 00:14:20,827
Speaker 5: I'll be back and back in the Black ben good stuff.

278
00:14:20,907 --> 00:14:23,227
Speaker 2: There's been a bit of talk about a New Zealand

279
00:14:23,347 --> 00:14:27,507
Speaker 2: side potentially entering the Big Bash. Are you in favor

280
00:14:27,547 --> 00:14:28,347
Speaker 2: of a concept like that?

281
00:14:29,507 --> 00:14:32,147
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be, now that I've been over there

282
00:14:32,147 --> 00:14:35,147
Speaker 5: and experienced it all. I think it would be amazing

283
00:14:35,187 --> 00:14:38,267
Speaker 5: to have, you know, started off with one New Zealand team.

284
00:14:38,547 --> 00:14:39,987
Speaker 4: Ideally two would be great.

285
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:44,907
Speaker 5: It was quite funny I came home over Christmas and

286
00:14:45,307 --> 00:14:48,267
Speaker 5: it's actually closer to flight to New Zealand than it

287
00:14:48,347 --> 00:14:52,907
Speaker 5: is to Perth so from Melbourne, so you know the travel.

288
00:14:53,187 --> 00:14:55,747
Speaker 5: The travel shouldn't be an issue from that point of view.

289
00:14:55,787 --> 00:14:57,267
Speaker 5: But I think it would be great. You know, like

290
00:14:57,307 --> 00:15:01,347
Speaker 5: the football, like the league and the rugby union, so

291
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:05,667
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely something that we can make possible

292
00:15:05,707 --> 00:15:06,787
Speaker 5: in the nephuge.

293
00:15:06,667 --> 00:15:09,307
Speaker 2: And no doubt that there is enough talent in the

294
00:15:09,347 --> 00:15:12,867
Speaker 2: New Zealand talent pool to compete in the big bench. Yeah, definitely.

295
00:15:12,987 --> 00:15:14,787
Speaker 5: I think one thing that they have as well is

296
00:15:14,787 --> 00:15:18,907
Speaker 5: that they know they do have three overseas players per side,

297
00:15:18,947 --> 00:15:22,347
Speaker 5: so you know, you you potentially bring that in with

298
00:15:22,427 --> 00:15:24,787
Speaker 5: the New Zealand team as well to even make that

299
00:15:24,867 --> 00:15:29,227
Speaker 5: team stronger. So we definitely have the pool to compete

300
00:15:29,267 --> 00:15:32,347
Speaker 5: and then you add a couple overseas in there as well.

301
00:15:32,387 --> 00:15:33,787
Speaker 4: I think it'd be a great competition.

302
00:15:34,147 --> 00:15:36,707
Speaker 2: And as far as the guys you've played with and

303
00:15:36,787 --> 00:15:39,147
Speaker 2: against over the years, I get the feeling you would

304
00:15:39,187 --> 00:15:41,827
Speaker 2: have established some fairly firm friendships. Do you still keep

305
00:15:41,827 --> 00:15:44,147
Speaker 2: in touch with other black Caps players even though you

306
00:15:44,267 --> 00:15:45,427
Speaker 2: sort of spread far and wide.

307
00:15:45,827 --> 00:15:49,467
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, definitely still got my best mates in the

308
00:15:49,507 --> 00:15:52,667
Speaker 5: side and keep in touch with them, you know, my

309
00:15:53,707 --> 00:15:56,747
Speaker 5: side at the moment, We've got Sourdie Adam Milne and

310
00:15:56,787 --> 00:15:59,027
Speaker 5: there's a lot of key guys over here playing and yeah,

311
00:15:59,147 --> 00:16:03,627
Speaker 5: still got yeah, my good friends in the national setup.

312
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:05,187
Speaker 5: So yeah, I always keeping in touch and it was

313
00:16:05,187 --> 00:16:07,587
Speaker 5: great to see them do well and then there and

314
00:16:07,987 --> 00:16:11,067
Speaker 5: ex eciding time ahead with the champions trophy coming up

315
00:16:11,107 --> 00:16:11,747
Speaker 5: to Indeed.

316
00:16:11,907 --> 00:16:14,307
Speaker 2: I wonder what it's like for you though, when you're overseas,

317
00:16:14,347 --> 00:16:16,827
Speaker 2: you're watching from Afar, watching the black Caps and if

318
00:16:16,827 --> 00:16:20,107
Speaker 2: they are struggling, watching and knowing that you know, if

319
00:16:20,107 --> 00:16:21,587
Speaker 2: you got the core, you'd have plenty to offer.

320
00:16:21,667 --> 00:16:22,267
Speaker 7: What is that like?

321
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:24,067
Speaker 4: Ah?

322
00:16:24,147 --> 00:16:25,827
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to do you want to see them

323
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:28,747
Speaker 5: do as well as possible, But sometimes that's sport.

324
00:16:29,507 --> 00:16:32,467
Speaker 4: You can't always play your best game and all that.

325
00:16:32,627 --> 00:16:36,307
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, I always enjoy watching them play and

326
00:16:36,907 --> 00:16:38,587
Speaker 5: hopefully more times than not it's a good day.

327
00:16:38,707 --> 00:16:40,467
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, And let's hope we see you back in

328
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:42,387
Speaker 2: that Black Cap soon as well. Thanks. So much for

329
00:16:42,427 --> 00:16:45,387
Speaker 2: your time. Congrats on a really good Big Bash campaign.

330
00:16:45,467 --> 00:16:49,027
Speaker 2: Onto the next the ilt tweety appreciate you joining us

331
00:16:49,027 --> 00:16:50,067
Speaker 2: across New Zealand today.

332
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:51,507
Speaker 4: Awesome, thanks for having me.

333
00:16:52,027 --> 00:16:54,267
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Tim, Tim Sipher then with us

334
00:16:54,307 --> 00:16:57,187
Speaker 2: on weekend Sport. Your chance to react to a couple

335
00:16:57,187 --> 00:17:00,027
Speaker 2: of really interesting comments actually that came up in that conversation.

336
00:17:00,107 --> 00:17:02,107
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty can open the

337
00:17:02,147 --> 00:17:06,147
Speaker 2: lines on this A key WE team in the Aussie

338
00:17:06,147 --> 00:17:11,587
Speaker 2: Big Bash? Yeah or nay? Tim Seifert says he's in

339
00:17:11,627 --> 00:17:13,947
Speaker 2: favor of it. He said, yep. Now I've played in it.

340
00:17:14,907 --> 00:17:18,307
Speaker 2: I can see the value of a New Zealand team

341
00:17:18,347 --> 00:17:20,867
Speaker 2: in the Big Bash? Are you in favor of that?

342
00:17:22,427 --> 00:17:25,467
Speaker 2: The big question around it is what it would do

343
00:17:26,107 --> 00:17:29,787
Speaker 2: to our domestic competition, our Super Smash. If we took

344
00:17:30,267 --> 00:17:34,907
Speaker 2: let's say fifteen players out of our domestic competition and

345
00:17:35,067 --> 00:17:37,787
Speaker 2: they became the New Zealand side and the Big Bash,

346
00:17:38,107 --> 00:17:40,507
Speaker 2: what would that look like? Because presumably the local comp

347
00:17:40,547 --> 00:17:44,987
Speaker 2: would continue, We'd still have the Super Smash, but players

348
00:17:44,987 --> 00:17:49,707
Speaker 2: couldn't clearly play in both. The Aussie Big Bash of course,

349
00:17:49,707 --> 00:17:52,987
Speaker 2: would have to invite us in. You can't just enter.

350
00:17:53,067 --> 00:17:54,947
Speaker 2: You can't just say well, we'd like to play. They've

351
00:17:54,947 --> 00:17:59,747
Speaker 2: got eight teams currently, a couple from Melbourne, couple from Sydney, Hobart, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide.

352
00:17:59,747 --> 00:18:02,307
Speaker 2: They might be happy with eight. But is it a

353
00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:07,307
Speaker 2: conversation that we should proactively look to open eight hundred

354
00:18:07,347 --> 00:18:13,627
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty or actually should we be looking

355
00:18:13,667 --> 00:18:20,667
Speaker 2: to instead supercharge our super smash, try to attract some

356
00:18:20,827 --> 00:18:25,467
Speaker 2: international players and a bit of star power to our comp.

357
00:18:26,547 --> 00:18:28,427
Speaker 2: I would love to see a few of the big

358
00:18:28,507 --> 00:18:33,147
Speaker 2: international superstars of white ball cricket playing in our comp

359
00:18:33,747 --> 00:18:35,907
Speaker 2: How good would that be? But it would need investment,

360
00:18:36,027 --> 00:18:40,147
Speaker 2: of course. So here's one idea I just sort of

361
00:18:40,347 --> 00:18:42,187
Speaker 2: came up with really on the fly as I was

362
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:45,667
Speaker 2: listening to Tim Seifer. Could, for example, there be a

363
00:18:45,787 --> 00:18:50,307
Speaker 2: central fund that New Zealand Cricket puts up and each

364
00:18:50,347 --> 00:18:53,707
Speaker 2: of the six provinces is allowed to use that money

365
00:18:53,947 --> 00:18:57,067
Speaker 2: or I guess apply for that money to recruit an

366
00:18:57,067 --> 00:19:01,587
Speaker 2: overseas player for their men's and women's sites. So funded

367
00:19:01,627 --> 00:19:06,987
Speaker 2: centrally by New Zealand Cricket, and that pot is available

368
00:19:07,027 --> 00:19:10,867
Speaker 2: to all six and they would make their case to

369
00:19:11,747 --> 00:19:13,627
Speaker 2: whoever it was at New Zealand Cricket to say hey,

370
00:19:13,627 --> 00:19:16,387
Speaker 2: we'd like to get X y Z player here and

371
00:19:16,427 --> 00:19:20,787
Speaker 2: this is how much it's going to cost us, oh,

372
00:19:20,787 --> 00:19:24,747
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty because I feel as

373
00:19:24,787 --> 00:19:27,307
Speaker 2: though the Super Smash is still a very important part

374
00:19:27,347 --> 00:19:31,947
Speaker 2: of our cricket calendar. It's played in that period well

375
00:19:31,987 --> 00:19:36,587
Speaker 2: now obviously sort of between Christmas and the back end

376
00:19:36,587 --> 00:19:40,507
Speaker 2: of January. Finals weekend next weekend in Wellington, so that

377
00:19:40,547 --> 00:19:42,627
Speaker 2: it will be February one to two, So it's an

378
00:19:42,627 --> 00:19:48,987
Speaker 2: important windows. It's good viewing over the holiday period. I'll

379
00:19:48,987 --> 00:19:50,707
Speaker 2: watch a lot of it on TV. It's free to wear,

380
00:19:51,907 --> 00:19:54,107
Speaker 2: but it could do with a bit of supercharging perhaps,

381
00:19:54,147 --> 00:19:56,227
Speaker 2: And there is so much competition now from the likes

382
00:19:56,227 --> 00:20:00,027
Speaker 2: of the Big Bash and the other competitions I mentioned,

383
00:20:00,187 --> 00:20:04,547
Speaker 2: like the South African competition. Devin Conway and Came Williamson

384
00:20:04,547 --> 00:20:06,867
Speaker 2: are both there at the moment, aren't they playing for

385
00:20:07,587 --> 00:20:11,267
Speaker 2: Wellington and Northern respectively. In fact, in order to play

386
00:20:11,267 --> 00:20:13,627
Speaker 2: over in South Africa they had to turn down Central

387
00:20:13,627 --> 00:20:17,587
Speaker 2: contracts because they wouldn't be available for some white ball

388
00:20:17,627 --> 00:20:20,987
Speaker 2: internationals at the start of January. Still going to be

389
00:20:20,987 --> 00:20:25,027
Speaker 2: available when they get back obviously, but all of these

390
00:20:25,067 --> 00:20:28,187
Speaker 2: other competitions are looking to supercharge themselves, So why shouldn't

391
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:32,267
Speaker 2: we Why shouldn't our super Smash be given a wi

392
00:20:32,267 --> 00:20:36,467
Speaker 2: injection of star power? Became for your thoughts on that

393
00:20:36,627 --> 00:20:41,227
Speaker 2: and the concept of aside going into the Big Bash,

394
00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:44,387
Speaker 2: or even two as Tim Sithe had said, a couple

395
00:20:44,427 --> 00:20:48,067
Speaker 2: of sides going in there that would rarely dilute our

396
00:20:48,267 --> 00:20:51,707
Speaker 2: local competition. Of course it would. So which of the

397
00:20:51,747 --> 00:20:56,547
Speaker 2: two things should we be looking at? Putting more focus

398
00:20:56,547 --> 00:21:00,427
Speaker 2: and energy and investment into our own domestic competition or

399
00:21:01,187 --> 00:21:04,067
Speaker 2: looking to get a north and a South side in

400
00:21:04,067 --> 00:21:06,227
Speaker 2: front of the powers that be of the Big Bash

401
00:21:06,907 --> 00:21:10,587
Speaker 2: saying hey, can we join in? Oh, eight hundred and

402
00:21:10,587 --> 00:21:13,107
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty is our phone number nine two ninety

413
00:21:38,467 --> 00:21:42,147
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Which way should we

414
00:21:42,227 --> 00:21:45,027
Speaker 2: be looking? Should we be looking inward at our T

415
00:21:45,027 --> 00:21:48,747
Speaker 2: twenty competitions and looking to supercharge the super Smash and

416
00:21:48,787 --> 00:21:50,347
Speaker 2: give it a bit of a give it a bit

417
00:21:50,347 --> 00:21:54,147
Speaker 2: of a boost, or should we be looking to tag

418
00:21:54,227 --> 00:21:58,187
Speaker 2: ourselves on to the Big Bash across the Tasman where

419
00:21:59,347 --> 00:22:02,627
Speaker 2: they've been going for quite some time now everybody who

420
00:22:02,627 --> 00:22:04,427
Speaker 2: goes there, and just listening to Tim Seifert, who for

421
00:22:04,507 --> 00:22:08,427
Speaker 2: the first time has play in this competition, talking about

422
00:22:08,467 --> 00:22:11,467
Speaker 2: the excitement levels. What did he say Their smallest crowd

423
00:22:11,627 --> 00:22:14,307
Speaker 2: was twenty thousand. I know there's a lot more people

424
00:22:14,347 --> 00:22:16,507
Speaker 2: over there, but even so there seems to be a

425
00:22:16,507 --> 00:22:20,347
Speaker 2: bit of a bit of sparkle about it. Should we

426
00:22:20,427 --> 00:22:25,587
Speaker 2: be looking at opening a conversation with the powers that

427
00:22:25,627 --> 00:22:28,507
Speaker 2: be at the Big Bash and saying, hey, what about us?

428
00:22:29,827 --> 00:22:31,947
Speaker 2: Steve says Pinti, as anyone actually thought of asking the

429
00:22:31,987 --> 00:22:35,707
Speaker 2: Australians if they want us in their competition. If not,

430
00:22:35,747 --> 00:22:38,627
Speaker 2: it's a pointless conversation. Look, I don't know whether there's

431
00:22:38,627 --> 00:22:41,947
Speaker 2: ever been a conversation about it, and it would be

432
00:22:42,187 --> 00:22:45,547
Speaker 2: I sort of also wonder who would have the conversation.

433
00:22:45,587 --> 00:22:47,667
Speaker 2: Would it be new Zellen Cricket. I suppose it would,

434
00:22:48,307 --> 00:22:51,827
Speaker 2: but they're probably fairly reticent. I would say to, you know,

435
00:22:52,267 --> 00:22:56,067
Speaker 2: to start talking about, you know, taking let's say fifteen

436
00:22:56,107 --> 00:22:58,627
Speaker 2: to twenty of our best players out of the Super

437
00:22:58,667 --> 00:23:03,267
Speaker 2: Smash and putting them into an Australian competition when they're

438
00:23:03,307 --> 00:23:07,267
Speaker 2: still trying to run their own Supersmash back here. But yeah,

439
00:23:07,507 --> 00:23:09,907
Speaker 2: of course it's not just something you can't just enter.

440
00:23:11,027 --> 00:23:12,827
Speaker 2: It's not one of those where you can say, yep,

441
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:15,387
Speaker 2: we'd love to play. Put us in. Obviously they would

442
00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:20,467
Speaker 2: have to. They would have to have to want us.

443
00:23:21,787 --> 00:23:28,827
Speaker 2: I mean, every every sporting organization has to innovate, has

444
00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:33,227
Speaker 2: to you know, has to has to want to improve,

445
00:23:33,307 --> 00:23:37,067
Speaker 2: and that you know, you can't just sit still, Brian,

446
00:23:37,147 --> 00:23:40,467
Speaker 2: says Jason. Why would Australia want us in their Big

447
00:23:40,507 --> 00:23:44,627
Speaker 2: Bash comp It always makes me cringe, says Brian when

448
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:48,107
Speaker 2: we start talking about wanting to join their various competitions.

449
00:23:48,587 --> 00:23:51,307
Speaker 2: We're like, this is a good phrase. We're like some

450
00:23:51,427 --> 00:23:55,627
Speaker 2: bottomless pit of neediness. Let's wash our own face and

451
00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:58,107
Speaker 2: sort ourselves out and stop being string the Aussies. Brian,

452
00:23:58,227 --> 00:24:01,187
Speaker 2: is not a bad point that you make. But I

453
00:24:01,227 --> 00:24:03,547
Speaker 2: guess if you're looking for evolution and looking for a

454
00:24:03,547 --> 00:24:08,227
Speaker 2: different way of doing things, is here to stay. There's

455
00:24:08,347 --> 00:24:13,147
Speaker 2: absolutely no question about that. It's here, and the calendar

456
00:24:13,187 --> 00:24:16,707
Speaker 2: is becoming more and more crowded. So if our own

457
00:24:16,747 --> 00:24:18,987
Speaker 2: Super Smash is to retain relevance, then we have to

458
00:24:19,027 --> 00:24:23,067
Speaker 2: do something. Yes, it's a good domestic comp it is,

459
00:24:23,107 --> 00:24:26,227
Speaker 2: it's looks, and maybe it is what it is, and

460
00:24:26,267 --> 00:24:28,907
Speaker 2: it doesn't need to be any more than it is

461
00:24:28,987 --> 00:24:33,147
Speaker 2: our Super Smash, a place where you know, our top

462
00:24:33,187 --> 00:24:38,067
Speaker 2: domestic cricketers can play whiteball cricket, can get some experience

463
00:24:38,147 --> 00:24:41,187
Speaker 2: under their belts and if they are good enough, can

464
00:24:41,267 --> 00:24:45,187
Speaker 2: earn selection into the national sides, but also put themselves

465
00:24:45,227 --> 00:24:49,107
Speaker 2: in the shop window for other T twenty leagues. Maybe

466
00:24:49,107 --> 00:24:51,707
Speaker 2: the Super Smash doesn't want or need to be the

467
00:24:51,747 --> 00:24:57,507
Speaker 2: Big Bash or the SA twenty competition or the ILT twenty.

468
00:24:57,627 --> 00:25:01,947
Speaker 2: Maybe there just isn't enough resource investment over here for

469
00:25:01,987 --> 00:25:04,347
Speaker 2: it to happen, So maybe we should just be happy

470
00:25:04,387 --> 00:25:06,307
Speaker 2: with it. I would like to think that we can

471
00:25:06,347 --> 00:25:09,947
Speaker 2: can perhaps be a little bit more innovative than that,

472
00:25:09,947 --> 00:25:14,747
Speaker 2: that we can try and find a way of taking

473
00:25:14,747 --> 00:25:17,267
Speaker 2: it to the next level, of attracting a few more eyeballs,

474
00:25:17,867 --> 00:25:21,387
Speaker 2: of adding a bit more star power. Wellington brought Elis

475
00:25:21,427 --> 00:25:24,307
Speaker 2: Perry over for a couple of games. For example, in

476
00:25:24,427 --> 00:25:28,907
Speaker 2: the Blaze side, they've sort of gone out shopping. There

477
00:25:28,947 --> 00:25:32,627
Speaker 2: have been instances, haven't there, of teams bringing in a

478
00:25:32,627 --> 00:25:35,267
Speaker 2: player from time to time, but it's not something that

479
00:25:35,427 --> 00:25:39,787
Speaker 2: is a regular occurrence in our T twenty competition. Would

480
00:25:39,827 --> 00:25:43,067
Speaker 2: you like to see it? They come that way, Let's

481
00:25:43,067 --> 00:25:47,147
Speaker 2: have two teams and the Big Bash says, well North

482
00:25:47,267 --> 00:25:51,027
Speaker 2: and South, and pick those teams from the Super Smash

483
00:25:51,067 --> 00:25:54,147
Speaker 2: shorten that comp I guess the difficulty is the calendar,

484
00:25:54,187 --> 00:25:57,467
Speaker 2: isn't it, Because the Big Bash starts before Christmas in

485
00:25:57,467 --> 00:26:00,987
Speaker 2: that middle of December period runs right through until now.

486
00:26:01,027 --> 00:26:03,027
Speaker 2: The final is tomorrow night as straighted day over there

487
00:26:03,067 --> 00:26:07,987
Speaker 2: of course, so it would be hard to to fit

488
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:10,707
Speaker 2: in our Big Bash before it because you'd be starting

489
00:26:10,707 --> 00:26:13,347
Speaker 2: sort of way back October November when really it's the

490
00:26:13,387 --> 00:26:16,427
Speaker 2: holiday period that is the sweet spot for cricket viewing.

491
00:26:18,027 --> 00:26:20,347
Speaker 2: But yeah, why not two teams. If we are going

492
00:26:20,387 --> 00:26:24,067
Speaker 2: to look to join, why not the two teams, Josh says,

493
00:26:24,067 --> 00:26:26,347
Speaker 2: the Super Smash and Plunket Shilder on life supporter as

494
00:26:26,347 --> 00:26:29,627
Speaker 2: it is. If anything, New Zealand Cricket needs to pour

495
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,787
Speaker 2: a heap of effort and money into them to keep

496
00:26:31,787 --> 00:26:34,187
Speaker 2: them alive. I think the Super Smash is okay. I

497
00:26:34,187 --> 00:26:40,747
Speaker 2: think our domestic cricket landscape is actually okay. It's not.

498
00:26:40,947 --> 00:26:42,827
Speaker 2: I don't think it's on life support. I think that

499
00:26:42,947 --> 00:26:44,787
Speaker 2: you know, there are good numbers I think tuning in

500
00:26:45,067 --> 00:26:48,147
Speaker 2: particularly on free to air, when I look at these crowds. Yes,

501
00:26:48,227 --> 00:26:50,747
Speaker 2: sometimes it's a bit sparse on some of these banks

502
00:26:50,747 --> 00:26:53,267
Speaker 2: around the place, but over the holiday period there's there's

503
00:26:53,307 --> 00:26:55,907
Speaker 2: good crowds turning up to some of these venues to

504
00:26:55,947 --> 00:26:59,307
Speaker 2: watch outside of the main centers as well, the likes

505
00:26:59,347 --> 00:27:04,547
Speaker 2: of Nelson and Alexandra and New Plymouth and such like.

506
00:27:04,987 --> 00:27:09,467
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't agree that it's on life support necessarily, Josh,

507
00:27:09,507 --> 00:27:11,387
Speaker 2: but I would like, perhaps, if we are going to

508
00:27:11,427 --> 00:27:14,867
Speaker 2: continue along this road, to do something to make it

509
00:27:14,947 --> 00:27:18,667
Speaker 2: just a little bit better. Twenty three away from one,

510
00:27:18,787 --> 00:27:21,067
Speaker 2: your thoughts on this are welcome. I eight hundred eighty

511
00:27:21,187 --> 00:27:25,307
Speaker 2: ten eighty speaking of the Super Smash Games today in

512
00:27:25,427 --> 00:27:33,147
Speaker 2: christ Church Hagleyoval between Canterbury and Central Canterbury have been

513
00:27:33,227 --> 00:27:36,467
Speaker 2: sent into bat By Central in the women's game, which

514
00:27:36,507 --> 00:27:38,707
Speaker 2: is underway in about three or four minutes. We'll keep

515
00:27:38,747 --> 00:27:40,827
Speaker 2: eyes on that for you. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten

516
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:42,907
Speaker 2: eighty nineteen nine to one text twenty three to one

517
00:27:42,947 --> 00:27:43,507
Speaker 2: back after this.

518
00:27:44,827 --> 00:27:46,067
Speaker 8: You be the TMO.

519
00:27:46,147 --> 00:27:48,547
Speaker 1: Have your say on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

520
00:27:48,707 --> 00:27:53,387
Speaker 1: Weekends fort with Jason Hin and GJ. Garvnerholmes, New Zealand's

521
00:27:53,387 --> 00:27:55,187
Speaker 1: most trusted home builder News talks.

522
00:27:55,227 --> 00:27:58,307
Speaker 2: There'd be news talks have twenty to one on text.

523
00:27:58,307 --> 00:28:00,627
Speaker 2: How to joining an ossie competition workout for our netpulus

524
00:28:01,507 --> 00:28:04,067
Speaker 2: or for supercars who were told he had to be

525
00:28:04,107 --> 00:28:08,147
Speaker 2: a city track or nothing. I think joining the competitions

526
00:28:08,187 --> 00:28:11,267
Speaker 2: worked out well for the likes of the Warriors, the

527
00:28:11,307 --> 00:28:15,547
Speaker 2: Phoenix and Auckland FC the Breakers. I think that's all

528
00:28:15,587 --> 00:28:19,147
Speaker 2: worked out. What it's done to our local competitions, I

529
00:28:19,187 --> 00:28:22,747
Speaker 2: guess is another conversation to be had, not that they

530
00:28:22,787 --> 00:28:25,027
Speaker 2: necessarily are played at the same time. You look at

531
00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:28,347
Speaker 2: at the A League for example, that has played between

532
00:28:28,547 --> 00:28:32,507
Speaker 2: October and May, so it doesn't cut across when the

533
00:28:33,667 --> 00:28:36,787
Speaker 2: national leagues are being played, although they do have their

534
00:28:37,147 --> 00:28:39,267
Speaker 2: conclusion at the back end of the calendar years, so

535
00:28:39,547 --> 00:28:42,707
Speaker 2: I guess they do cut across. Similarly, when the NRL

536
00:28:42,827 --> 00:28:47,227
Speaker 2: is on, there's the local domestic rugby league competition for

537
00:28:47,307 --> 00:28:50,427
Speaker 2: the breakers in the Australian National Basketball League that doesn't

538
00:28:50,427 --> 00:28:53,587
Speaker 2: cut across our national Basketball league. You often see players

539
00:28:53,587 --> 00:28:57,067
Speaker 2: playing in both. The difference with cricket, if we were

540
00:28:57,147 --> 00:29:00,467
Speaker 2: to have a couple of teams go and join the

541
00:29:00,507 --> 00:29:04,907
Speaker 2: Big Bash, it would immediately dilute our competition, and that competition,

542
00:29:04,987 --> 00:29:08,547
Speaker 2: if we're talking about dilution, is already missing some big stars,

543
00:29:08,907 --> 00:29:12,347
Speaker 2: Tim Seifert, Lockeye Ferguson both playing in the Big Bash

544
00:29:12,347 --> 00:29:15,387
Speaker 2: and then onto the ILT twenty came Williamson and Devon

545
00:29:15,427 --> 00:29:18,987
Speaker 2: Conway electing to play in South Africa instead of for

546
00:29:19,027 --> 00:29:23,387
Speaker 2: their provinces this summer. So any further dilution would just,

547
00:29:23,547 --> 00:29:28,387
Speaker 2: by you know, by pure logic, bring the standard down

548
00:29:28,787 --> 00:29:31,587
Speaker 2: of the Super Smash here in New Zealand. It would, also,

549
00:29:31,707 --> 00:29:34,867
Speaker 2: of course, if you want to counterpoint, that give opportunities

550
00:29:34,867 --> 00:29:39,347
Speaker 2: to younger players. Speaking of the A League, Wellington Phoenix

551
00:29:39,347 --> 00:29:41,627
Speaker 2: went to christ Yuch yesterday and took on the Central

552
00:29:41,627 --> 00:29:43,587
Speaker 2: Coast Mariners. They were back for the first time in

553
00:29:43,707 --> 00:29:46,827
Speaker 2: nine years, hadn't played in the Garden City since January

554
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:49,947
Speaker 2: of twenty sixteen. A nil all draw between the Phoenix

555
00:29:49,947 --> 00:29:53,147
Speaker 2: and the Central Coast Mariners. Probably the big talking point

556
00:29:53,387 --> 00:29:56,227
Speaker 2: of the game were a couple of fairly decent penalty

557
00:29:56,267 --> 00:30:00,027
Speaker 2: shouts for the Phoenix, which weren't given either by the

558
00:30:00,067 --> 00:30:05,587
Speaker 2: onfield referee, Tim Dnaskus or on review by var Certainly,

559
00:30:05,587 --> 00:30:09,787
Speaker 2: I think there was possibly a case to answer for one.

560
00:30:10,587 --> 00:30:14,547
Speaker 2: Certainly one and maybe both of them. Here's gian Calo

561
00:30:14,587 --> 00:30:16,867
Speaker 2: are taliana, chief coach of the Phoenix. Afterwards, he was

562
00:30:16,907 --> 00:30:19,227
Speaker 2: asked about that. Did he think either of them was

563
00:30:20,587 --> 00:30:21,187
Speaker 2: a penalty?

564
00:30:21,907 --> 00:30:23,027
Speaker 9: No, I don't know.

565
00:30:23,587 --> 00:30:27,267
Speaker 10: First one momentum, I think they both go down at

566
00:30:27,267 --> 00:30:29,787
Speaker 10: the same time and then he can stand on his

567
00:30:29,827 --> 00:30:33,947
Speaker 10: feet and finish. But he chooses to to make another

568
00:30:33,947 --> 00:30:36,067
Speaker 10: player at the ball, and I think by that time

569
00:30:36,107 --> 00:30:36,947
Speaker 10: there's no advantage.

570
00:30:37,227 --> 00:30:41,187
Speaker 4: Sorry, he has advantaged to shirt and.

571
00:30:41,147 --> 00:30:43,747
Speaker 10: He doesn't, so I think to give a penalty might

572
00:30:43,747 --> 00:30:47,107
Speaker 10: have been harsh. The second one, I can't. I can't

573
00:30:47,587 --> 00:30:50,707
Speaker 10: make an assessment because of the angle. I think if

574
00:30:50,747 --> 00:30:53,627
Speaker 10: there was an angle that showed the ball from behind

575
00:30:53,667 --> 00:30:55,467
Speaker 10: the goal, I could make a better assessment. But I

576
00:30:55,507 --> 00:30:58,667
Speaker 10: couldn't see whether or if there was enough contact and

577
00:30:59,587 --> 00:31:01,947
Speaker 10: enough momentum.

578
00:31:01,987 --> 00:31:07,547
Speaker 4: So you know, obviously the crowd, of course, they're patriotic. Yeah, yeah,

579
00:31:07,547 --> 00:31:09,427
Speaker 4: So all in all of do you think it was

580
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:10,107
Speaker 4: a fear result?

581
00:31:10,307 --> 00:31:10,747
Speaker 9: I think so.

582
00:31:11,387 --> 00:31:14,347
Speaker 10: I don't think we I don't think we merited to

583
00:31:14,427 --> 00:31:16,507
Speaker 10: win on the basis of the quality of our chances.

584
00:31:16,747 --> 00:31:18,667
Speaker 10: The intent was to go forward and we had enough

585
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:23,827
Speaker 10: opportunity to capitalize. But we're just final delivery play, being

586
00:31:23,827 --> 00:31:28,267
Speaker 10: in the right spot, miscontrol, maybe passes, not sticking the

587
00:31:28,307 --> 00:31:32,187
Speaker 10: way they should, maybe rushing sometimes when we had plenty

588
00:31:32,187 --> 00:31:35,787
Speaker 10: of space to capitalize. But again I can't fault the

589
00:31:36,107 --> 00:31:39,867
Speaker 10: intent of the players. I think they'll focus today. It's

590
00:31:39,947 --> 00:31:41,907
Speaker 10: just more about that care factor in that in that

591
00:31:41,947 --> 00:31:43,307
Speaker 10: final third that really hurt us.

592
00:31:44,947 --> 00:31:48,307
Speaker 2: Is that k factor something you think will come quickly.

593
00:31:49,147 --> 00:31:49,827
Speaker 10: It takes time.

594
00:31:49,907 --> 00:31:51,587
Speaker 4: I think, you know last week.

595
00:31:54,147 --> 00:31:56,387
Speaker 10: I think last week against MacArthur, in the first half

596
00:31:56,387 --> 00:31:59,507
Speaker 10: we had plenty of opportunity, capitalized, just weren't making the

597
00:31:59,587 --> 00:32:04,027
Speaker 10: right runs. And then in the second half when Finknchi

598
00:32:04,147 --> 00:32:09,347
Speaker 10: came on, changed your game, you know, finding those passes. Today,

599
00:32:09,507 --> 00:32:12,147
Speaker 10: I felt as though we had plenty of opportunity. If

600
00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:13,947
Speaker 10: we're in the right position in the first half, we

601
00:32:14,387 --> 00:32:19,027
Speaker 10: won't second half was a little bit better, But again,

602
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:21,987
Speaker 10: I think we're lacking maybe one playmaker in their bit

603
00:32:22,027 --> 00:32:25,147
Speaker 10: of speed that could have capitalized in those moments. And

604
00:32:25,387 --> 00:32:28,347
Speaker 10: to expect the younger boys to fully mature and be

605
00:32:28,427 --> 00:32:30,827
Speaker 10: that player, I'm not quite sure they're up to it

606
00:32:30,867 --> 00:32:32,667
Speaker 10: at the moment. I think you're going to have one

607
00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:35,827
Speaker 10: good performance, maybe a scattered performance, you know, up and down.

608
00:32:36,787 --> 00:32:39,467
Speaker 10: So my expectation isn't too high with those players.

609
00:32:39,867 --> 00:32:40,467
Speaker 4: It will come.

610
00:32:41,027 --> 00:32:43,947
Speaker 10: It's just a matter of riding out the ups and

611
00:32:43,987 --> 00:32:44,547
Speaker 10: downs like this.

612
00:32:44,907 --> 00:32:47,587
Speaker 2: At the other end, just one goal conceded in three games,

613
00:32:47,587 --> 00:32:51,067
Speaker 2: two clean sheets in your last three. Defensive stability seems

614
00:32:51,107 --> 00:32:54,147
Speaker 2: to have improved. Are you happy with that?

615
00:32:54,867 --> 00:32:55,187
Speaker 7: Of course?

616
00:32:55,227 --> 00:32:58,027
Speaker 10: I think, you know, that's what we built the whole

617
00:32:58,027 --> 00:33:01,147
Speaker 10: season on last last year. We've changed the structure a

618
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:04,827
Speaker 10: little bit for this season with the types of players

619
00:33:04,827 --> 00:33:07,867
Speaker 10: that we have available now, you know, we work very

620
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:10,147
Speaker 10: hard on it. I think the messaging now is a

621
00:33:10,187 --> 00:33:12,947
Speaker 10: lot more simpler so the players can understand and also

622
00:33:13,747 --> 00:33:18,147
Speaker 10: you know, be positive with the player attributes that we have.

623
00:33:19,307 --> 00:33:21,267
Speaker 10: And the defending has also brought us some good chances

624
00:33:21,307 --> 00:33:24,507
Speaker 10: in the final third attacking half. So again the confidence

625
00:33:24,587 --> 00:33:27,587
Speaker 10: is coming, it's building, it's you know, just again just

626
00:33:27,587 --> 00:33:30,147
Speaker 10: more recognition of that last past, that final moment that

627
00:33:30,187 --> 00:33:31,667
Speaker 10: we need to be a little bit smarter with.

628
00:33:31,987 --> 00:33:34,747
Speaker 2: So you don't plag in now until white there. Yes,

629
00:33:34,947 --> 00:33:37,187
Speaker 2: So what are you hoping for in terms of I mean,

630
00:33:37,467 --> 00:33:40,067
Speaker 2: could we see electrofer Tom Payne? Could we see a

631
00:33:40,107 --> 00:33:40,947
Speaker 2: new signing by then?

632
00:33:40,987 --> 00:33:45,547
Speaker 10: Even I'm hoping a new signing by then, just if

633
00:33:45,587 --> 00:33:47,427
Speaker 10: we do decide to get a visa, it's more about

634
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:51,747
Speaker 10: whether he you know, he'll get the visa, be ready

635
00:33:51,787 --> 00:33:54,507
Speaker 10: for the for the game. If we go down a

636
00:33:54,547 --> 00:33:58,347
Speaker 10: local option, then again that they would be immediate, I

637
00:33:58,347 --> 00:34:02,027
Speaker 10: guess so. But there's still plenty of water under that bridge.

638
00:34:03,307 --> 00:34:06,747
Speaker 10: So I'm hoping that pain is back. Chez really like today,

639
00:34:06,947 --> 00:34:09,067
Speaker 10: wasn't really sposed to play, but he played full ninety

640
00:34:09,867 --> 00:34:14,027
Speaker 10: and he'll be better for it. And I'm just thinking

641
00:34:14,027 --> 00:34:14,587
Speaker 10: there's one or two.

642
00:34:14,707 --> 00:34:16,067
Speaker 4: Sorry, Payne will be back.

643
00:34:16,147 --> 00:34:23,187
Speaker 10: You don't mention that, yes, sorry, RUFA again. He's progressing nicely.

644
00:34:23,267 --> 00:34:23,667
Speaker 4: It's just.

645
00:34:25,547 --> 00:34:29,067
Speaker 10: I think a little bit optimistic for Brisbane. Definitely think

646
00:34:29,187 --> 00:34:31,587
Speaker 10: I think we have victory the week after, so probably

647
00:34:31,667 --> 00:34:37,107
Speaker 10: maybe victory if not the week after. So yeah, I'm

648
00:34:37,147 --> 00:34:38,227
Speaker 10: just thinking there's anyone else.

649
00:34:38,267 --> 00:34:39,667
Speaker 4: Marco is out for the season.

650
00:34:40,867 --> 00:34:44,187
Speaker 10: So yeah, that's all we have at the moment.

651
00:34:44,347 --> 00:34:45,787
Speaker 2: Oh look him.

652
00:34:46,107 --> 00:34:51,107
Speaker 10: Yeah, so he picked up a strainer training not yes say,

653
00:34:51,107 --> 00:34:53,827
Speaker 10: the day before. Just for precaution. We had to rest

654
00:34:53,907 --> 00:34:56,907
Speaker 10: him because there was a risk that it could reaggravate.

655
00:34:57,827 --> 00:34:59,867
Speaker 10: It was a big loss today just in terms of

656
00:34:59,867 --> 00:35:01,427
Speaker 10: balance and the starting team that we've had.

657
00:35:01,507 --> 00:35:04,667
Speaker 4: So he should be back for Brisbane.

658
00:35:04,907 --> 00:35:05,147
Speaker 7: That is.

659
00:35:05,227 --> 00:35:08,027
Speaker 2: Gian Calo Telliana to the Phoenix after their liltl draw

660
00:35:08,067 --> 00:35:10,747
Speaker 2: in christ Church yesterday. Just on the penalties, I thought

661
00:35:10,747 --> 00:35:14,507
Speaker 2: that was very diplomatic from Gianclovitaliano saying that he didn't

662
00:35:14,547 --> 00:35:17,347
Speaker 2: think they were I don't know if you've seen the footage.

663
00:35:18,147 --> 00:35:20,427
Speaker 2: I think there was a definite case for the second

664
00:35:20,547 --> 00:35:24,867
Speaker 2: of the two to be to be whistled up. What

665
00:35:24,947 --> 00:35:27,547
Speaker 2: happens in these situations is the onfield referee makes a

666
00:35:27,627 --> 00:35:31,387
Speaker 2: call and then the var video assistant referee has a

667
00:35:31,427 --> 00:35:34,467
Speaker 2: look at it. And alerts the referee if he thinks

668
00:35:34,987 --> 00:35:39,827
Speaker 2: there is further scrutiny required, And on both occasions the

669
00:35:40,587 --> 00:35:44,587
Speaker 2: Video Assistant referee told the onfield referee that actually know.

670
00:35:44,987 --> 00:35:47,707
Speaker 2: But it took a long time for both actually, but

671
00:35:47,947 --> 00:35:51,107
Speaker 2: on neither occasion did Tim danaskus the referee get summoned

672
00:35:51,147 --> 00:35:53,707
Speaker 2: over to the pitch side screen to have another look

673
00:35:53,747 --> 00:35:57,907
Speaker 2: at it. The thing that I guess I think in

674
00:35:57,947 --> 00:36:02,347
Speaker 2: these situations is if one or both were given as penalties,

675
00:36:03,067 --> 00:36:07,067
Speaker 2: would the var have a look and overturn that on decision?

676
00:36:07,307 --> 00:36:09,067
Speaker 2: And I think the answer to that in both cases

677
00:36:09,147 --> 00:36:12,947
Speaker 2: is no, because the VR is there is there to

678
00:36:13,227 --> 00:36:17,147
Speaker 2: you know, to oh, it's got quite complicated recently, but

679
00:36:17,187 --> 00:36:20,147
Speaker 2: it's there to avoid the howler where an on field

680
00:36:20,227 --> 00:36:22,707
Speaker 2: decision has been made or not made and it's a

681
00:36:22,787 --> 00:36:25,907
Speaker 2: howler and so you can you can right that wrong.

682
00:36:26,987 --> 00:36:29,387
Speaker 2: But I think of either of those penalties as given,

683
00:36:29,427 --> 00:36:32,107
Speaker 2: then the VAA doesn't overturn anyway. We move on from that.

684
00:36:32,267 --> 00:36:34,587
Speaker 2: I thought the crowd in christ Yutch yesterday was terrific.

685
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:39,507
Speaker 2: Well done to the fine footballing folk of the Canterbury

686
00:36:39,587 --> 00:36:42,467
Speaker 2: Regent who turned up in good numbers over fourteen thousand.

687
00:36:42,547 --> 00:36:43,947
Speaker 2: There I know they don't get a lot of a

688
00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:45,947
Speaker 2: league football down there, in fact done for nine years,

689
00:36:45,947 --> 00:36:48,667
Speaker 2: but still you still have to turn up and I

690
00:36:48,787 --> 00:36:51,827
Speaker 2: thought they did in really good numbers. And the game

691
00:36:51,907 --> 00:36:53,747
Speaker 2: was at Apollo Project Stadium, you know, it's where the

692
00:36:53,787 --> 00:36:56,267
Speaker 2: Crusaders play. It's the temporary stadium. And we spoke to

693
00:36:56,587 --> 00:37:00,507
Speaker 2: Caroline Harvey tear CEO Venues of Tatahi on the show

694
00:37:00,587 --> 00:37:04,787
Speaker 2: yesterday about the imminent arrival of Teka the new stadium

695
00:37:04,827 --> 00:37:08,707
Speaker 2: in April of next year, and while that's being built,

696
00:37:09,467 --> 00:37:12,947
Speaker 2: they continue to use the stadium at Addington. I actually

697
00:37:12,987 --> 00:37:15,507
Speaker 2: thought yesterday it was a really good venue for football.

698
00:37:16,347 --> 00:37:20,467
Speaker 2: It's rectangular for starters, which has as an advantage over

699
00:37:20,507 --> 00:37:24,587
Speaker 2: Sky Stadium in Wellington. It's nice and intimate. It's yes,

700
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:27,027
Speaker 2: it's got a bit of a temporary feel about it,

701
00:37:27,067 --> 00:37:29,387
Speaker 2: but it's always been that way. You know, a bit

702
00:37:29,427 --> 00:37:32,667
Speaker 2: of scaffolding and you know you're climbing up stairs which

703
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,787
Speaker 2: are attached to scaffolding and all that sort of thing.

704
00:37:34,867 --> 00:37:40,587
Speaker 2: But for a venue, I really liked it. You know,

705
00:37:40,747 --> 00:37:44,467
Speaker 2: obviously it's going to be decommissioned in about eighteen months

706
00:37:44,547 --> 00:37:47,427
Speaker 2: or so when Tekaha is built. But for the Phoenix's

707
00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:50,147
Speaker 2: purposes yesterday. I thought it was a really good venue

708
00:37:50,547 --> 00:37:52,827
Speaker 2: and a good crowd turning out. The only thing I

709
00:37:52,827 --> 00:37:56,427
Speaker 2: couldn't work out yesterday apart from the penalty shots, but

710
00:37:56,427 --> 00:37:59,507
Speaker 2: the only thing that really had me scratching my head

711
00:37:59,707 --> 00:38:05,067
Speaker 2: was why Wellington Phoenix decided to wear their chain strip.

712
00:38:06,827 --> 00:38:09,547
Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix, as you probably know, are a team that

713
00:38:09,587 --> 00:38:13,667
Speaker 2: wears yellow. Yesterday they came out in their chain strip,

714
00:38:13,787 --> 00:38:17,787
Speaker 2: which is a charcoal color. It's a dark color, and

715
00:38:17,827 --> 00:38:23,067
Speaker 2: the Central Coast Mariners, who also wear yellow, were able

716
00:38:23,147 --> 00:38:27,387
Speaker 2: to wear their yellow strip at the home, albeit the

717
00:38:27,427 --> 00:38:30,707
Speaker 2: home away from home of the Wellington Phoenix. All of

718
00:38:30,707 --> 00:38:34,507
Speaker 2: the crowd who turned up there yesterday were in Phoenix gear,

719
00:38:34,827 --> 00:38:37,907
Speaker 2: which is yellow. But the team they're supporting out there

720
00:38:37,947 --> 00:38:40,827
Speaker 2: is wearing a dark strip and the Mariners are wearing yellow.

721
00:38:40,907 --> 00:38:42,507
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not such a big deal, but it just

722
00:38:42,587 --> 00:38:46,067
Speaker 2: seems so odd to me and people tuning in, maybe

723
00:38:46,107 --> 00:38:50,227
Speaker 2: for the first time. I know, I anecdotally messages saying, oh,

724
00:38:51,227 --> 00:38:53,507
Speaker 2: you know, I thought we were the ones in yellow,

725
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:57,227
Speaker 2: but no, we were the ones in charcoal. The reason

726
00:38:57,307 --> 00:39:00,347
Speaker 2: for it, as I understand it, is a commercial thing.

727
00:39:00,907 --> 00:39:04,187
Speaker 2: The front of shirt sponsor for the home strip. The

728
00:39:04,267 --> 00:39:07,827
Speaker 2: yellow one is different than the front of shirt sponsor

729
00:39:07,987 --> 00:39:11,147
Speaker 2: for the away strip, and each of those two sponsors

730
00:39:11,307 --> 00:39:14,867
Speaker 2: is duty bound by contract to have so many games

731
00:39:15,107 --> 00:39:19,467
Speaker 2: per year. That's why sometimes the Phoenix wear their away

732
00:39:19,507 --> 00:39:22,867
Speaker 2: strip at home. I get that, but I wouldn't have

733
00:39:22,947 --> 00:39:25,987
Speaker 2: chosen yesterday. I would have chosen the game against a

734
00:39:26,027 --> 00:39:29,587
Speaker 2: team that doesn't wear yellow for starters. I would have

735
00:39:29,627 --> 00:39:32,227
Speaker 2: worn it against an Adelaide or where red or perth

736
00:39:32,307 --> 00:39:35,747
Speaker 2: or were purple. I just it might sound like a

737
00:39:35,787 --> 00:39:39,187
Speaker 2: simple thing, but it was such a little strange, strange

738
00:39:39,227 --> 00:39:43,627
Speaker 2: little sidelines today where fourteen thousand fans turned up and

739
00:39:43,707 --> 00:39:48,027
Speaker 2: yellow to chair for the Phoenix. They weren't wearing yellow.

740
00:39:49,347 --> 00:39:50,907
Speaker 2: Eight away from one, News Talk.

741
00:39:50,827 --> 00:39:55,347
Speaker 1: Zeb breaking down the Hail Mary's and the epic fails

742
00:39:56,947 --> 00:39:59,907
Speaker 1: weekends for it with Jason him News Talk.

743
00:40:00,067 --> 00:40:03,507
Speaker 2: Zenb five to one couple of messages on the Chaine

744
00:40:03,547 --> 00:40:05,547
Speaker 2: strip in the football. Assuming it is to do with

745
00:40:05,547 --> 00:40:08,987
Speaker 2: the number of expos a certain partner gets, says this one,

746
00:40:09,187 --> 00:40:11,347
Speaker 2: then print a yellow set and a black set for

747
00:40:11,387 --> 00:40:14,667
Speaker 2: each partner. Then allocate the partner's an equal number of games. Yeah,

748
00:40:14,707 --> 00:40:17,627
Speaker 2: that sounds sensible through here, I bought tickets for my

749
00:40:17,667 --> 00:40:20,387
Speaker 2: parents who live in christ Church and this is the

750
00:40:20,427 --> 00:40:25,307
Speaker 2: message they sent me after the first few minutes, Dad

751
00:40:25,347 --> 00:40:27,107
Speaker 2: and I want to know which one is? Are yellow

752
00:40:27,267 --> 00:40:30,867
Speaker 2: or gray? Case in point of how confusing this was

753
00:40:30,907 --> 00:40:33,467
Speaker 2: for first time or casual fans. Thanks for your text.

754
00:40:33,747 --> 00:40:36,427
Speaker 2: And that was a definite penalty. Miss says. This one

755
00:40:36,867 --> 00:40:39,867
Speaker 2: the problem with VAAR as they are so inconsistent. That

756
00:40:39,907 --> 00:40:41,787
Speaker 2: would have been a penalty in another game and I've

757
00:40:41,787 --> 00:40:44,747
Speaker 2: seen far less given as penalties. Thank you for your

758
00:40:44,787 --> 00:40:47,547
Speaker 2: calls and your correspondence. We'll get back into football after two.

759
00:40:47,747 --> 00:40:52,027
Speaker 2: Auckland FC have their next assignment tonight. They're playing the

760
00:40:52,067 --> 00:40:56,347

Speaker 2: was the scorer of a lastmen an equalizer midweek against

762

771
00:41:28,347 --> 00:41:31,227

00:41:43,787 --> 00:41:46,387
Speaker 2: Sport on News Talk SEDBAT. In an hour or so,

777
00:41:46,507 --> 00:41:49,707
Speaker 2: going to chat to Luca Harrington. He is a name

778
00:41:49,747 --> 00:41:52,667
Speaker 2: that perhaps not many of us would have been familiar

779
00:41:52,667 --> 00:41:57,147
Speaker 2: with forty eight hours ago, but yesterday he became an

780
00:41:57,187 --> 00:42:02,507
Speaker 2: Ex Games gold medalist in the men's slope style. Zoey

781
00:42:02,547 --> 00:42:05,387
Speaker 2: Sadowski Senate did the same of the women's slope style.

782
00:42:05,667 --> 00:42:07,667
Speaker 2: We ch had it to her yesterday. Luca Harrington with

783
00:42:07,747 --> 00:42:11,667
Speaker 2: us after two o'clock this afternoon. The other interesting part

784
00:42:11,707 --> 00:42:14,147
Speaker 2: of this is that he's back at action in a

785
00:42:14,147 --> 00:42:16,427
Speaker 2: few hours time. In the big air. The bigger is

786
00:42:16,427 --> 00:42:18,787
Speaker 2: the one where they do just the one jump. The

787
00:42:18,867 --> 00:42:20,947
Speaker 2: slope style is when you do a number of tricks

788
00:42:20,987 --> 00:42:23,507
Speaker 2: on the way down, so that's what they both won yesterday.

789
00:42:23,947 --> 00:42:27,227
Speaker 2: Zoey Sadowski and Luca Harrington. Yes, a luka with us

790
00:42:27,227 --> 00:42:30,147

00:42:30,187 --> 00:42:32,547
Speaker 2: we're going to talk some tennis very shortly with Craig

792
00:42:32,587 --> 00:42:36,987
Speaker 2: Gabriel reviewing the women's singles final last night, previewing the

793

Speaker 2: men's singles final tonight from the Australian Tennis Open your

794
00:42:40,947 --> 00:42:43,427
Speaker 2: thoughts on the tennis as well, and was it okay

795
00:42:43,427 --> 00:42:48,427
Speaker 2: to boo Novak Djokovic? Was that actually okay? We didn't

796
00:42:48,427 --> 00:42:50,147
Speaker 2: really get the chance to chat about this yesterday, so

797
00:42:50,227 --> 00:42:53,827
Speaker 2: be keen if you've got some thoughts on that. Just

798
00:42:53,867 --> 00:42:56,027
Speaker 2: before we get to the tennis, updating Live Sport from

799
00:42:56,067 --> 00:42:59,107

00:43:10,947 --> 00:43:13,547
Speaker 2: or just after seven overs, so going along nicely to

804
00:43:13,747 --> 00:43:17,307

00:43:36,027 --> 00:43:41,467
Speaker 2: What incredible tennis and what a match? What a match? Inde.

00:43:41,627 --> 00:43:45,347
Speaker 2: The twenty nine year old American Madison Keys has upset

Speaker 2: top seed and double defending champion Arena Sabolenka six three, two, six,

00:43:50,867 --> 00:43:54,227
Speaker 2: seven to five in the final. Craig Gabriel joins US

812
00:43:54,227 --> 00:43:57,667
Speaker 2: from Melbourne. What a few days it's been for Madison Keys, Craig.

813
00:43:57,747 --> 00:44:00,947
Speaker 2: She beat Egish Fiontech in the semi final, the world

814
00:44:00,987 --> 00:44:04,267
Speaker 2: number two, now Arena Sabolenka in the final, the world

815
00:44:04,347 --> 00:44:06,307
Speaker 2: number one. How has she done it?

816
00:44:09,747 --> 00:44:11,707
Speaker 6: Tunnel vision? This was her time.

817
00:44:12,627 --> 00:44:17,747
Speaker 11: The number of players past and present that have saluted

818
00:44:17,747 --> 00:44:22,787
Speaker 11: her on social media is pretty phenomenal. And in twenty seventeen,

819
00:44:22,907 --> 00:44:25,067
Speaker 11: she reached the final of the US Open and lost

820
00:44:25,067 --> 00:44:27,747
Speaker 11: to Sloane Stevens, who was one of her really good friends.

821
00:44:28,307 --> 00:44:32,627
Speaker 11: And Sloan has tweeted it's never been a case of if,

822
00:44:33,107 --> 00:44:36,387
Speaker 11: but it always has been a case of when, and

823
00:44:36,867 --> 00:44:41,467
Speaker 11: absolutely excited for her and it's one of the most

824
00:44:41,547 --> 00:44:44,187
Speaker 11: popular victories in the women's locker room.

825
00:44:44,227 --> 00:44:45,547
Speaker 6: There's no two ways about it.

826
00:44:46,387 --> 00:44:51,107
Speaker 11: The smile on her face, the tears of joy were

827
00:44:51,187 --> 00:44:56,147
Speaker 11: just absolutely brilliant and what she achieved by beating a

828
00:44:56,227 --> 00:44:58,707
Speaker 11: world number two in the semis and then the world

829
00:44:58,827 --> 00:45:03,187
Speaker 11: number one in the final is an amazing achievement.

830
00:45:03,347 --> 00:45:05,627
Speaker 6: It's not something that's done too often.

831
00:45:05,907 --> 00:45:08,347
Speaker 11: I think Arena Williams was the last one to do

832
00:45:08,387 --> 00:45:12,707
Speaker 11: something like that, and so that's that in itself is

833
00:45:12,747 --> 00:45:18,387
Speaker 11: incredibly special. So all around, this has been an amazing

834
00:45:19,107 --> 00:45:22,587
Speaker 11: not just this tournament, but these few weeks in Australia

835
00:45:22,667 --> 00:45:26,587
Speaker 11: because she came into the Australian Open having one adelaide,

836
00:45:26,707 --> 00:45:29,867
Speaker 11: so obviously she loves playing in Australia because she's one

837
00:45:29,907 --> 00:45:33,907
Speaker 11: adelaide before. So yeah, maybe we should just adopt her.

838
00:45:34,707 --> 00:45:38,867
Speaker 2: Perhaps so, But do you think in her heart of hearts,

839
00:45:38,867 --> 00:45:42,067
Speaker 2: in her deepest, darkest moment, she might have thought, having

840
00:45:42,107 --> 00:45:45,267
Speaker 2: been forty five Majors without a win, that it just

841
00:45:45,427 --> 00:45:46,627
Speaker 2: wasn't going to happen for her.

842
00:45:48,027 --> 00:45:51,187
Speaker 11: Well, look, you know with all the players there, so yeah,

843
00:45:51,227 --> 00:45:53,667
Speaker 11: there are doubts and all that, but at the same time,

844
00:45:54,347 --> 00:45:55,667
Speaker 11: they have to have belief.

845
00:45:55,707 --> 00:45:58,307
Speaker 6: If you don't have belief, you might as well not

846
00:45:58,387 --> 00:46:02,387
Speaker 6: walk on the court. And there was that, but she

847
00:46:02,587 --> 00:46:05,387
Speaker 6: said that she had started working with.

848
00:46:07,027 --> 00:46:12,347
Speaker 11: In therapy to give her some of that understanding as

849
00:46:12,387 --> 00:46:15,187
Speaker 11: to why things were not happening. She said, initially she

850
00:46:15,907 --> 00:46:19,147
Speaker 11: did it for the sports aspect, but she's now done

851
00:46:19,147 --> 00:46:22,707
Speaker 11: it for the personal aspect. And she said she was

852
00:46:22,747 --> 00:46:25,547
Speaker 11: admitting things that she hated to admit and she never

853
00:46:25,587 --> 00:46:28,747
Speaker 11: wanted to and didn't like doing. But she said it's

854
00:46:28,827 --> 00:46:32,787
Speaker 11: helped her on the mental side of her approach to life,

855
00:46:32,827 --> 00:46:37,267
Speaker 11: but also to her professional career. So it's all fallen

856
00:46:37,307 --> 00:46:41,227
Speaker 11: into place. She's going to be ranked at a career

857
00:46:41,267 --> 00:46:46,387
Speaker 11: equal best of seven in the world, so it's all fantastic.

858
00:46:46,467 --> 00:46:49,187
Speaker 11: And she and she puts away three and a half million.

859
00:46:48,947 --> 00:46:52,147
Speaker 2: Dollars twenty nine years old, now medicine case. Could she

860
00:46:52,427 --> 00:46:54,587
Speaker 2: having won one now, Craig win a few more?

861
00:46:55,707 --> 00:46:56,067
Speaker 6: Why not?

862
00:46:57,067 --> 00:46:58,947
Speaker 11: I mean, you get the monkey. If you're back the

863
00:46:58,987 --> 00:47:03,627
Speaker 11: first time and doors start to open, there is this

864
00:47:03,747 --> 00:47:07,547
Speaker 11: level of confidence. I don't expect her to go winning

865
00:47:07,587 --> 00:47:11,067
Speaker 11: week after week after week, title after title. That's not

866
00:47:11,187 --> 00:47:13,867
Speaker 11: going to happen. That's you know, that's for some of

867
00:47:13,907 --> 00:47:16,827
Speaker 11: the freaks of the game. But you know, I dare

868
00:47:16,867 --> 00:47:19,147
Speaker 11: say she could suffer a bit of a letdown after this,

869
00:47:19,267 --> 00:47:22,827
Speaker 11: because you're such an adrenaline high that once these sort

870
00:47:22,867 --> 00:47:25,387
Speaker 11: of things are done. There's sort of like an empty feeling,

871
00:47:26,467 --> 00:47:29,387
Speaker 11: and you know, I wouldn't be surprised if she loses

872
00:47:29,427 --> 00:47:31,427
Speaker 11: her next few tournaments, but then she'll get back on

873
00:47:31,547 --> 00:47:34,547
Speaker 11: track and pick things up again.

874
00:47:34,627 --> 00:47:37,747
Speaker 6: But absolutely the door is open for her to win more.

875
00:47:38,107 --> 00:47:41,707
Speaker 2: For every elighted winner, there's a disappointed loser. Tell us

876
00:47:41,747 --> 00:47:45,507
Speaker 2: about the demeanor of Arena Seblinka, Well.

877
00:47:45,427 --> 00:47:47,507
Speaker 11: There's a lot of frustration that came out of her

878
00:47:47,787 --> 00:47:52,067
Speaker 11: because she really wanted an obviously soul to put her

879
00:47:52,147 --> 00:47:54,907
Speaker 11: name into into the history books or rewrite some of

880
00:47:54,947 --> 00:47:58,147
Speaker 11: it by winning a third title in a row, which

881
00:47:58,187 --> 00:48:02,307
Speaker 11: hasn't been done for twenty five plus years. Martina Hingis

882
00:48:02,387 --> 00:48:04,307
Speaker 11: was the last one to do it from ninety seven

883
00:48:04,347 --> 00:48:08,747
Speaker 11: to ninety nine. So you know, there was that frustration

884
00:48:08,867 --> 00:48:11,587
Speaker 11: that came out at the end when after they shook

885
00:48:11,627 --> 00:48:14,747
Speaker 11: hands and the rackets you used in the match.

886
00:48:14,787 --> 00:48:16,787
Speaker 6: Will not be used in the tennis match again.

887
00:48:17,267 --> 00:48:20,627
Speaker 11: So it was a mess, but you know, and then

888
00:48:20,667 --> 00:48:22,467
Speaker 11: she left the court and she said, I needed to

889
00:48:22,507 --> 00:48:25,347
Speaker 11: get off the court. I needed some time to myself

890
00:48:25,587 --> 00:48:28,187
Speaker 11: and to compose, you know, to be a bit more composed.

891
00:48:28,187 --> 00:48:31,867
Speaker 11: When she went back for the presentation ceremony and she

892
00:48:31,947 --> 00:48:34,947
Speaker 11: gave a very gracious speech at the end.

893
00:48:35,747 --> 00:48:38,667
Speaker 2: SO men's singles final tonight in the top two seats

894
00:48:38,747 --> 00:48:42,667
Speaker 2: defending champion Yannick Center against Alexander Zverev, who's still looking

895
00:48:42,667 --> 00:48:45,427
Speaker 2: for his first major. When could Ziev perhaps take some

896
00:48:45,507 --> 00:48:47,067
Speaker 2: inspiration from Medicine.

897
00:48:46,787 --> 00:48:51,867
Speaker 11: Keys, Absolutely well, I wouldn't say so much from Madison Keys,

898
00:48:52,267 --> 00:48:55,787
Speaker 11: but I think he's he's got the determination to do it.

899
00:48:55,827 --> 00:48:59,907
Speaker 11: He can absolutely do it. You know, he desperately wants it.

900
00:48:59,907 --> 00:49:03,307
Speaker 11: He's made that clear. He's been in two finals previously.

901
00:49:03,707 --> 00:49:05,787
Speaker 11: The US Open was the first one. He lost to

902
00:49:05,867 --> 00:49:09,547
Speaker 11: Dominique team and after having championship points, and then he

903
00:49:09,627 --> 00:49:12,587
Speaker 11: lost to Kalas Alcarez in the French Open final. So

904
00:49:13,107 --> 00:49:16,187
Speaker 11: he feels it's his time now and he wants to

905
00:49:16,467 --> 00:49:19,067
Speaker 11: wants this very badly. He says it's something he's dreamed

906
00:49:19,067 --> 00:49:22,747
Speaker 11: of since growing growing up. But then he's got the

907
00:49:22,747 --> 00:49:24,627
Speaker 11: world number one on the other side of the court

908
00:49:24,667 --> 00:49:28,667
Speaker 11: as well, who is just so amazing at the moment

909
00:49:28,747 --> 00:49:33,187
Speaker 11: as an individual, as a tennis player. So I hope

910
00:49:33,227 --> 00:49:35,107
Speaker 11: and I would expect we're going to see an amazing

911
00:49:35,107 --> 00:49:38,107
Speaker 11: tennis match. I wouldn't say the women's match was that great,

912
00:49:38,427 --> 00:49:41,667
Speaker 11: except for the last few games when it got really

913
00:49:41,747 --> 00:49:45,027
Speaker 11: quite thrilling. But I think, you know, we could see

914
00:49:45,547 --> 00:49:47,187
Speaker 11: one that's going the distance tonight.

915
00:49:47,227 --> 00:49:50,587
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I don't know. I mean my.

916
00:49:50,707 --> 00:49:53,707
Speaker 11: Initial thought all along with the tournament has been sinner

917
00:49:54,067 --> 00:49:59,347
Speaker 11: to repeat. But I just feel there is also that

918
00:49:59,907 --> 00:50:02,627
Speaker 11: that situation. As I was saying about, it's very I

919
00:50:02,787 --> 00:50:06,707
Speaker 11: feeling it's his time. So you know, whoever wins is

920
00:50:06,747 --> 00:50:07,867
Speaker 11: going to be a worthy champion.

921
00:50:08,147 --> 00:50:11,667
Speaker 2: Just on Center, he's been imperious straight sets wins. That's

922
00:50:11,747 --> 00:50:13,947
Speaker 2: quarter has seen me. I think twenty matches I heard

923
00:50:13,987 --> 00:50:18,307
Speaker 2: you say to twenty straight match wins number one since June.

924
00:50:19,387 --> 00:50:22,227
Speaker 2: What has impressed you most, Craig about Janick Center, not

925
00:50:22,267 --> 00:50:24,107
Speaker 2: just at this tournament, but but since he's been world

926
00:50:24,147 --> 00:50:24,587
Speaker 2: number one.

927
00:50:25,907 --> 00:50:31,347
Speaker 11: His humility, He's such an easy, down to earth person.

928
00:50:31,587 --> 00:50:37,147
Speaker 11: He's softly spoken. You know, he's been asked, how has

929
00:50:37,187 --> 00:50:39,507
Speaker 11: being number one changed you? He says, it hasn't. It's

930
00:50:39,547 --> 00:50:42,667
Speaker 11: not changed me at all. You know, he was asked

931
00:50:43,027 --> 00:50:46,507
Speaker 11: are you unbeatable? And he explained that he's not unbeatable.

932
00:50:46,747 --> 00:50:50,227
Speaker 11: He just works very hard and he has a mental,

933
00:50:51,547 --> 00:50:55,467
Speaker 11: mental strength and matches to win these matches. He said,

934
00:50:55,507 --> 00:50:58,587
Speaker 11: but he could be beaten at any time. Somebody, some

935
00:50:58,707 --> 00:51:01,747
Speaker 11: other player may have an absolute blinder. The last time

936
00:51:01,827 --> 00:51:04,587
Speaker 11: he was beaten was in the final of Beijing in

937
00:51:04,587 --> 00:51:07,987
Speaker 11: October last year to Carlos carraz and that was another

938
00:51:08,027 --> 00:51:17,067
Speaker 11: tight match. So nobody's unbeatable. But certainly he's a tremendous individual.

939
00:51:17,987 --> 00:51:20,907
Speaker 2: And it wasn't to be twenty five in twenty five

940
00:51:20,947 --> 00:51:23,147
Speaker 2: for Novak Djokovic forced to retire and to see me

941
00:51:23,187 --> 00:51:25,867
Speaker 2: against fear of Do you think twenty four might be

942
00:51:25,947 --> 00:51:26,827
Speaker 2: his final number?

943
00:51:27,627 --> 00:51:28,227
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know.

944
00:51:28,467 --> 00:51:30,907
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, there's still another three majors in

945
00:51:30,947 --> 00:51:34,427
Speaker 11: twenty five to go, the French Wimbledon and the US Open,

946
00:51:35,267 --> 00:51:38,187
Speaker 11: so he's still got some opportunities this year. I think

947
00:51:38,187 --> 00:51:41,547
Speaker 11: it's going to get tougher. He turns thirty eight in May,

948
00:51:43,227 --> 00:51:45,947
Speaker 11: and you know, some of these injuries are creeping in.

949
00:51:46,627 --> 00:51:49,627
Speaker 11: But I feel very sure that he's going to give

950
00:51:49,627 --> 00:51:54,107
Speaker 11: it everything he's got and more to try and get

951
00:51:54,187 --> 00:51:59,947
Speaker 11: himself across that line and in that record just for himself,

952
00:51:59,987 --> 00:52:03,187
Speaker 11: because he shares that record right now with Margaret Court

953
00:52:03,707 --> 00:52:08,067
Speaker 11: on twenty four career majors, So that's what he's striving for.

954
00:52:08,147 --> 00:52:10,467
Speaker 11: Last year he was striving for the Olympic gold medal

955
00:52:10,467 --> 00:52:13,227
Speaker 11: and he got it. He beat Carlos Algarez in the final,

956
00:52:13,707 --> 00:52:18,227
Speaker 11: so you know, we'll see. But these injuries are obviously

957
00:52:18,227 --> 00:52:21,507
Speaker 11: a bit of a matter of concern. You know, he

958
00:52:21,867 --> 00:52:25,347
Speaker 11: was affected and rightly so with the booing when when

959
00:52:25,387 --> 00:52:28,027
Speaker 11: he retired from the Zverev match in the in the

960
00:52:28,027 --> 00:52:32,707
Speaker 11: semis and he's posted on social media a picture of

961
00:52:32,747 --> 00:52:37,387
Speaker 11: the scan that shows there is a tear and that's

962
00:52:37,427 --> 00:52:41,067
Speaker 11: why he retired. So you know, he would not have

963
00:52:41,187 --> 00:52:44,507
Speaker 11: retired if he was able to play through at all,

964
00:52:44,547 --> 00:52:46,427
Speaker 11: but the pain levels were getting too intense.

965
00:52:47,347 --> 00:52:49,627
Speaker 2: Craig, have really enjoyed your coverage over the last two

966
00:52:49,627 --> 00:52:53,307
Speaker 2: weeks in Melbourne. It's type for a classic finale tonight

967
00:52:53,347 --> 00:52:56,027
Speaker 2: and the men's singles final. Thanks as always for joining

968
00:52:56,067 --> 00:52:58,827
Speaker 2: us across New Zealand. Thanks Ayson, Thanks Craig. Craig Gabriel

969
00:52:58,867 --> 00:53:02,027
Speaker 2: there our man in Melbourne covering the Australian Tennis Open.

970
00:53:02,067 --> 00:53:05,347
Speaker 2: So we had our women's champion, medicine keys beating Arena

971
00:53:05,347 --> 00:53:08,867
Speaker 2: Seblinka last night. Men's champion will be decided tonight on text.

972
00:53:08,867 --> 00:53:12,307
Speaker 2: Can you please tell me what time the men's final starts?

973
00:53:12,347 --> 00:53:15,987
Speaker 2: Absolutely I can nine to thirty tonight. Nine thirty is

974
00:53:16,347 --> 00:53:20,907
Speaker 2: the scheduled start time on rod Laver Arena. The women's

975
00:53:21,067 --> 00:53:24,547
Speaker 2: doubles final is on from five o'clock this afternoon. Unfortunately,

976
00:53:24,867 --> 00:53:27,107
Speaker 2: our own Aeron Rautliff will not be there, beaten in

977
00:53:27,147 --> 00:53:30,947
Speaker 2: the semi finals. She and partner Gabby Dobrowski beaten in

978
00:53:31,027 --> 00:53:32,947
Speaker 2: the semis so it would have been nice to see

979
00:53:33,027 --> 00:53:36,027
Speaker 2: Eron Ratliffe out on rod Laver Arena later on this afternoon,

980
00:53:36,027 --> 00:53:38,987
Speaker 2: not to be so she won't be there the men's final.

981
00:53:39,067 --> 00:53:42,267
Speaker 2: Yellick Sinner Alexander Zverev one v two nine thirty tonight

982
00:53:42,307 --> 00:53:45,587
Speaker 2: at rod Laver Arena. Tennis fans have been watching. Can

983
00:53:45,707 --> 00:53:51,507
Speaker 2: Sinner be beaten? He looks imperious, He looks unbeatable, He

984
00:53:51,587 --> 00:53:55,067
Speaker 2: looks absolutely the favor I haven't checked the odds, but

985
00:53:55,107 --> 00:53:58,827
Speaker 2: I'll do that in a moment. Can Jarick Sinner be

986
00:53:58,827 --> 00:54:01,587
Speaker 2: beaten by Alexander Zverevan? What did you make of the

987
00:54:01,587 --> 00:54:06,027
Speaker 2: whole Novak Djokovic thing? Look, I think we can all

988
00:54:06,067 --> 00:54:10,707
Speaker 2: ex that he is a polarizing figure, particularly in Melbourne,

989
00:54:11,147 --> 00:54:14,427
Speaker 2: given all of the you know, anti vax stuff. I

990
00:54:14,427 --> 00:54:18,187
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about that, but when he retired

991
00:54:18,187 --> 00:54:22,067
Speaker 2: from his semi final against Alexander Zverev, well, I was

992
00:54:22,107 --> 00:54:27,507
Speaker 2: that Friday night he was booed by some segments of

993
00:54:27,547 --> 00:54:31,387
Speaker 2: the crowd and speaking to our Australian correspondent yesterday, Adam Peacock,

994
00:54:32,147 --> 00:54:35,547
Speaker 2: he said, you know, it was a very small number

995
00:54:35,907 --> 00:54:38,027
Speaker 2: who were doing that, but even a small number is

996
00:54:38,027 --> 00:54:41,787
Speaker 2: still a number. It just brings into I guess why

997
00:54:41,827 --> 00:54:43,987
Speaker 2: to focus the whole and not just at the tennis

998
00:54:44,547 --> 00:54:49,147
Speaker 2: But is it actually okay to boo sports people? It

999
00:54:49,227 --> 00:54:53,747
Speaker 2: happens a lot, and the argument I always hear is well,

1000
00:54:53,787 --> 00:54:58,067
Speaker 2: I've paid my money, so I'm allowed to do what

1001
00:54:58,147 --> 00:55:06,707
Speaker 2: I want. I never see people really booing at the

1002
00:55:06,707 --> 00:55:11,947
Speaker 2: theater and you pay money for tickets for that. So

1003
00:55:12,187 --> 00:55:16,987
Speaker 2: I don't quite understand the argument. I've never understood the

1004
00:55:17,027 --> 00:55:21,827
Speaker 2: motivation for it, you know. I mean it always comes

1005
00:55:21,907 --> 00:55:24,507
Speaker 2: up as a topic of conversation around rugby as well,

1006
00:55:24,507 --> 00:55:27,347
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Do we boo the kicker? You know, do

1007
00:55:27,387 --> 00:55:31,027
Speaker 2: we boo opposition kickers? There's always a small minority of

1008
00:55:31,107 --> 00:55:34,427
Speaker 2: people who bow an opposition kicker when they're lining up

1009
00:55:34,467 --> 00:55:38,107
Speaker 2: to take a shot at goal. Again, it's not for me,

1010
00:55:39,467 --> 00:55:43,347
Speaker 2: but do you feel as though that textually okay, the

1011
00:55:43,387 --> 00:55:45,907
Speaker 2: Novak Jockovits one was slightly different, and that it was

1012
00:55:46,307 --> 00:55:48,827
Speaker 2: at the end of the game. He'd played the game,

1013
00:55:48,867 --> 00:55:53,067
Speaker 2: he'd retired injured, and as Craig Gabriel said there. He's

1014
00:55:53,067 --> 00:55:57,107
Speaker 2: since posted some pictures on the social media of an

1015
00:55:57,227 --> 00:56:00,427
Speaker 2: x ray showing that actually, yes, I am injured. I

1016
00:56:00,507 --> 00:56:03,587
Speaker 2: wasn't just making it up so but.

1017
00:56:05,027 --> 00:56:05,387
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1018
00:56:05,387 --> 00:56:07,467
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a very very odd way

1019
00:56:07,627 --> 00:56:13,067
Speaker 2: of expressing oneself. You might have an opinion on that

1020
00:56:13,147 --> 00:56:17,787
Speaker 2: whether it's okay to boo people and Zverev. Sinner? Is

1021
00:56:17,827 --> 00:56:20,627
Speaker 2: Zverev a chance denied again? Sinner? I didn't watch the

1022
00:56:20,627 --> 00:56:23,267
Speaker 2: game last night, the match last night, rather the women's

1023
00:56:23,307 --> 00:56:28,707
Speaker 2: singles final. I was following it online and I saw

1024
00:56:28,747 --> 00:56:31,987
Speaker 2: Madison Keys was out to a five to one lead

1025
00:56:31,987 --> 00:56:34,147
Speaker 2: in the first set, and she eventually won the first set,

1026
00:56:34,147 --> 00:56:37,227
Speaker 2: and I thought, this is very impressive. But was it

1027
00:56:37,467 --> 00:56:40,107
Speaker 2: just the adrenaline of getting out there and having a

1028
00:56:40,107 --> 00:56:42,747
Speaker 2: really good start, and would Saba Linka come right? And

1029
00:56:42,867 --> 00:56:47,427
Speaker 2: Arena Sablinka won the second set. So at that point

1030
00:56:47,707 --> 00:56:51,467
Speaker 2: I nodded off. I had a long day. I knotted

1031
00:56:51,507 --> 00:56:52,947
Speaker 2: off and I didn't see the end of it, and

1032
00:56:52,987 --> 00:56:54,627
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning, I thought, oh, check, how

1033
00:56:54,707 --> 00:56:57,587
Speaker 2: much you know what happened in the third set, and expecting,

1034
00:56:57,747 --> 00:57:01,027
Speaker 2: fully expecting to see Arena sab Linka's name in the

1035
00:57:01,067 --> 00:57:05,107
Speaker 2: winner's circle, but no Madison Keys. She must have after

1036
00:57:05,227 --> 00:57:07,187
Speaker 2: all of that time, thought, you know, it might just

1037
00:57:07,187 --> 00:57:09,507
Speaker 2: not going to be happening for me. But after beatings

1038
00:57:09,507 --> 00:57:13,227
Speaker 2: Fiontek in the Semis on to the final, beating Saberlenka,

1039
00:57:13,707 --> 00:57:16,107
Speaker 2: the top two players in the world, she's beaten now,

1040
00:57:17,227 --> 00:57:23,027
Speaker 2: so yeah, take it, take it. You're a major champion. Finally,

1041
00:57:23,107 --> 00:57:29,547
Speaker 2: Medicine Keys. Can Alexander Zverev emulate her tonight? He's never

1042
00:57:29,587 --> 00:57:33,187
Speaker 2: won one either? Could this be his time to break

1043
00:57:33,187 --> 00:57:36,507
Speaker 2: his duck? One twenty three oh eight hundred and eighty

1044
00:57:36,587 --> 00:57:39,827
Speaker 2: ten eighty is our number. Talking tennis, a bit of

1045
00:57:39,867 --> 00:57:42,627
Speaker 2: booing and sport If you like, We're back after this

1046

Speaker 2: with your calls on Weekend Sport here at News Talks EB.

1051
00:57:57,827 --> 00:58:01,307
Speaker 2: I never boo anything myself, says this text. But I

1052
00:58:01,387 --> 00:58:03,867
Speaker 2: can sort of see the reasoning behind booing a kicker

1053
00:58:03,907 --> 00:58:07,107
Speaker 2: at goal. Will you boo out of the kicker? It's

1054
00:58:07,147 --> 00:58:09,027
Speaker 2: just to put them off. But booing an individual as

1055
00:58:09,067 --> 00:58:11,227
Speaker 2: they walk on or off a court or field or

1056
00:58:11,267 --> 00:58:14,667
Speaker 2: touch the ball is so bad. I've always stopped my

1057
00:58:14,827 --> 00:58:18,987
Speaker 2: kids booing at any time. Basketball is maybe one exception

1058
00:58:19,027 --> 00:58:21,467
Speaker 2: where anouser tries to get the crowd to put off

1059
00:58:21,467 --> 00:58:24,707
Speaker 2: the free throw with yelling and booing. That's always been

1060
00:58:24,747 --> 00:58:27,667
Speaker 2: a bit weird to me. Thank you for your for

1061
00:58:27,747 --> 00:58:32,027
Speaker 2: your text. Yep, you're right. I mean basketball is probably

1062
00:58:32,027 --> 00:58:35,507
Speaker 2: one where, yeah, they just do everything they can behind

1063
00:58:35,187 --> 00:58:38,667
Speaker 2: the bucket to put off the free throw. I've always thought, actually,

1064
00:58:38,667 --> 00:58:44,667
Speaker 2: it'd be more disconcerting if there was utter silence, because

1065
00:58:44,667 --> 00:58:46,707
Speaker 2: I get the feeling that an elite sports person just

1066
00:58:46,747 --> 00:58:47,347
Speaker 2: blocks it out.

1067
00:58:47,947 --> 00:58:51,107
Speaker 9: Hello Jamie, great Jason Hipping new year.

1068
00:58:51,627 --> 00:58:54,307
Speaker 2: Oh Jamie, come on, it's the twenty sixth of January.

1069
00:58:54,307 --> 00:58:58,787
Speaker 2: I think we can dispense. But but look, I wish

1070
00:58:58,827 --> 00:59:00,307
Speaker 2: you well for the year ahead. How's that?

1071
00:59:00,947 --> 00:59:05,107
Speaker 9: Thank you? Thank you very much? What three weeks over

1072
00:59:06,147 --> 00:59:09,907
Speaker 9: there want any mine. They're just about the booing thing.

1073
00:59:10,987 --> 00:59:14,587
Speaker 9: It's never you probably bit like you and Pioney has

1074
00:59:14,667 --> 00:59:18,147
Speaker 9: never really been my thing, although maybe if there's like

1075
00:59:18,227 --> 00:59:20,547
Speaker 9: in a game of rugby where someone's sticking a shot

1076
00:59:20,587 --> 00:59:24,587
Speaker 9: of might go the odd boo. But I mean, yeah,

1077
00:59:24,627 --> 00:59:26,787
Speaker 9: it was just for the things. Like I mean with

1078
00:59:27,427 --> 00:59:30,027
Speaker 9: great Cooper, we we probably probably went on a bit

1079
00:59:30,067 --> 00:59:30,987
Speaker 9: longer thought.

1080
00:59:31,587 --> 00:59:32,347
Speaker 7: I went.

1081
00:59:34,827 --> 00:59:36,987
Speaker 2: After he needed Richie in the head. I think if

1082
00:59:37,027 --> 00:59:41,067
Speaker 2: you knee Richie mccarer in the head, you you resign

1083
00:59:41,107 --> 00:59:44,267
Speaker 2: yourself to a lifetime of booze from New Zealand fans.

1084
00:59:45,307 --> 00:59:48,427
Speaker 9: It's the same thing with you know, back in the

1085
00:59:48,467 --> 00:59:50,587
Speaker 9: day was Sir Richard Heavy and the Aussie fans.

1086
00:59:51,227 --> 00:59:52,587
Speaker 6: Yes, he's always.

1087
00:59:52,387 --> 00:59:55,667
Speaker 9: Given them a bit of stick. Yeah, probably probably out

1088
00:59:55,707 --> 00:59:59,307
Speaker 9: of respect though, but I mean yeah, I guess it's

1089
00:59:59,307 --> 01:00:00,907
Speaker 9: each to their own. But I think it can be

1090
01:00:00,947 --> 01:00:04,187
Speaker 9: a bit excessive personally myself. But but yeah, it's just

1091
01:00:04,227 --> 01:00:05,147
Speaker 9: my two cents.

1092
01:00:05,427 --> 01:00:06,867
Speaker 2: I thought the jocko it to one. It was interesting

1093
01:00:06,947 --> 01:00:09,107
Speaker 2: Jamie in that it wasn't while he was playing. It

1094
01:00:09,147 --> 01:00:11,707
Speaker 2: wasn't like he had you know, he had been acting

1095
01:00:11,787 --> 01:00:14,707
Speaker 2: up on the court or doing things to to Rile

1096
01:00:14,787 --> 01:00:18,347
Speaker 2: up the crowd. It was actually he he retired injured.

1097
01:00:18,427 --> 01:00:21,347
Speaker 2: I think the motivation was, Hey, I've paid a lot

1098
01:00:21,387 --> 01:00:22,667
Speaker 2: of money for my tickets here, I'm not going to

1099
01:00:22,707 --> 01:00:25,387
Speaker 2: get to see the tennis that I wanted. But it

1100
01:00:25,427 --> 01:00:27,227
Speaker 2: wasn't like he was faking the injury. I thought it

1101
01:00:27,267 --> 01:00:28,387
Speaker 2: was really poor for me.

1102
01:00:29,947 --> 01:00:33,427
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, does over the tense. I mean you

1103
01:00:33,427 --> 01:00:37,947
Speaker 9: could probably understand the frustration and disappointment. I mean, yeah,

1104
01:00:38,067 --> 01:00:41,267
Speaker 9: but then but then you can't expect someone who's generally

1105
01:00:41,307 --> 01:00:44,787
Speaker 9: injured to keep carrying on. It's yeah, it's just I

1106
01:00:44,787 --> 01:00:45,507
Speaker 9: guess you know.

1107
01:00:45,427 --> 01:00:47,867
Speaker 12: It's a spect that's part of the visit you pay.

1108
01:00:48,187 --> 01:00:51,147
Speaker 9: It might not. You don't always get to see what

1109
01:00:51,187 --> 01:00:51,747
Speaker 9: you're paid for.

1110
01:00:52,307 --> 01:00:56,427
Speaker 2: No, they's so right. Yeah, it's the same same as cricket, Jamie.

1111
01:00:56,427 --> 01:00:58,467
Speaker 2: You buy You might buy a ticket for a cricket

1112
01:00:58,507 --> 01:01:00,347
Speaker 2: game that in a one day game or a T

1113
01:01:00,347 --> 01:01:02,307
Speaker 2: twenty and the team at bats versus all out for

1114
01:01:02,347 --> 01:01:04,427
Speaker 2: sixty you know, and then the other team gets them,

1115
01:01:04,427 --> 01:01:06,627
Speaker 2: and you know, and you know in double quot time

1116
01:01:06,667 --> 01:01:08,547
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden your day's over. But you're right.

1117
01:01:08,867 --> 01:01:12,547
Speaker 2: You buy your ticket fully, fully knowing that it might

1118
01:01:12,547 --> 01:01:14,747
Speaker 2: not work out the way you absolutely hope it will.

1119
01:01:16,147 --> 01:01:18,747
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. Anyway, I seek to speak you Plony.

1120
01:01:19,067 --> 01:01:20,947
Speaker 2: Good on you, Jamie. Let's chat again soon this year

1121
01:01:20,987 --> 01:01:23,107
Speaker 2: and we can dispense now. But the happy New Years.

1122
01:01:23,107 --> 01:01:25,547
Speaker 2: We've done it. We can move on. Good to talk

1123
01:01:25,547 --> 01:01:27,187
Speaker 2: to you, man, Calvin High.

1124
01:01:27,987 --> 01:01:30,787
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Jason. While I was hanging on, I was

1125
01:01:30,827 --> 01:01:33,027
Speaker 13: just thinking that people who paid their money for a

1126
01:01:33,067 --> 01:01:37,187
Speaker 13: one day cricket game and got two days out of

1127
01:01:37,227 --> 01:01:38,427
Speaker 13: it did very well, didn't they.

1128
01:01:38,867 --> 01:01:41,387
Speaker 2: There is that also, yes, yes, because they get the

1129
01:01:41,827 --> 01:01:45,547
Speaker 2: second day off. Are you talking about if it rains well.

1130
01:01:45,587 --> 01:01:47,667
Speaker 13: I know there's something that was to do with the

1131
01:01:47,747 --> 01:01:50,307
Speaker 13: runs and the overs and all that. It happened a

1132
01:01:50,347 --> 01:01:52,187
Speaker 13: few I don't know. It could be even twenty years

1133
01:01:52,227 --> 01:01:54,747
Speaker 13: ago now, but I found it very hard to understand,

1134
01:01:54,747 --> 01:01:57,707
Speaker 13: so I can't recall it properly there, but it did happen.

1135
01:01:58,347 --> 01:02:00,987
Speaker 13: I finished earlier the first day or something or other,

1136
01:02:01,067 --> 01:02:03,107
Speaker 13: whatever it was, and I went on to the second day,

1137
01:02:03,147 --> 01:02:05,707
Speaker 13: the one day for two days. Anyway, what I'll rung

1138
01:02:05,787 --> 01:02:08,667
Speaker 13: up now, Piey. First of all, you've got to catch

1139
01:02:08,747 --> 01:02:11,267
Speaker 13: up with the play with you being a great sports person.

1140
01:02:11,987 --> 01:02:15,827
Speaker 13: I want to say to you happy New Year for

1141
01:02:16,307 --> 01:02:20,827
Speaker 13: this coming weddings, for this coming Wednesday New Year's Day,

1142
01:02:21,707 --> 01:02:22,747
Speaker 13: Chinese New Year.

1143
01:02:23,187 --> 01:02:24,627
Speaker 2: Yes, I knew you were going to say that.

1144
01:02:25,587 --> 01:02:27,427
Speaker 13: And we've got two more later on the year, the

1145
01:02:27,467 --> 01:02:29,547
Speaker 13: Muslim New Year and the Jewish New Year. But anyway,

1146
01:02:29,587 --> 01:02:32,147
Speaker 13: moving on with the booing, the so called booing, I

1147
01:02:32,187 --> 01:02:34,667
Speaker 13: also wanted to let you know, very very briefly, I'm

1148
01:02:34,667 --> 01:02:37,067
Speaker 13: just holding here in my hand the one dollar coin

1149
01:02:37,147 --> 01:02:41,067
Speaker 13: that's in a plastic container Comwealth Games from Christ ninety

1150
01:02:41,107 --> 01:02:45,187
Speaker 13: seventy four. Anyway, there was a booing with the tennis

1151
01:02:45,267 --> 01:02:48,947
Speaker 13: or that. That's absolutely ridiculous going on like that. But

1152
01:02:49,507 --> 01:02:51,947
Speaker 13: you may or may not be fully aware of, Jason,

1153
01:02:52,387 --> 01:02:56,707
Speaker 13: that my two real sports are athletics, a netball, and

1154
01:02:56,787 --> 01:02:59,827
Speaker 13: most deefinitly a netball. There's no booing going on. When

1155
01:02:59,907 --> 01:03:03,747
Speaker 13: your shooter shoots and gets the goal, lots, you'd give

1156
01:03:03,747 --> 01:03:06,347
Speaker 13: them lots and lots of claps. When the opposition shoots

1157
01:03:06,387 --> 01:03:08,507
Speaker 13: and gets a goal, he gives them a couple of

1158
01:03:08,507 --> 01:03:11,787
Speaker 13: claps because you're clapping for their good ability.

1159
01:03:12,787 --> 01:03:17,907
Speaker 2: That's very diplomatic, Calvin, that's very diplomatic. I'll tell you

1160
01:03:17,987 --> 01:03:20,667
Speaker 2: right now, I will never cheer for an opposition player.

1161
01:03:21,467 --> 01:03:23,467
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I might applaud at the end if they've

1162
01:03:23,467 --> 01:03:25,707
Speaker 2: done well, But during a game, no, I've got one

1163
01:03:25,747 --> 01:03:26,827
Speaker 2: team and one team only.

1164
01:03:27,467 --> 01:03:28,947
Speaker 13: What about netball when you're there?

1165
01:03:29,307 --> 01:03:30,787
Speaker 2: Oh no, what if I go to watch the netball,

1166
01:03:30,787 --> 01:03:32,627
Speaker 2: I cheer for the pulse. I don't cheer for the

1167
01:03:32,667 --> 01:03:37,187
Speaker 2: other team. I don't pot them, don't do them, but

1168
01:03:37,267 --> 01:03:38,267
Speaker 2: I don't cheer for them.

1169
01:03:38,507 --> 01:03:40,227
Speaker 13: Hang on, hang on, hang on. You're not cheering for

1170
01:03:40,307 --> 01:03:43,987
Speaker 13: the team. You're cheering for the shooter for their ability

1171
01:03:44,027 --> 01:03:45,387
Speaker 13: to shoot a wonderful.

1172
01:03:44,987 --> 01:03:48,867
Speaker 2: Goal against my team.

1173
01:03:48,907 --> 01:03:53,547
Speaker 13: There's nothing against your team. If you can't see that,

1174
01:03:53,547 --> 01:03:55,867
Speaker 13: there's something wrong with you. Jason.

1175
01:03:58,507 --> 01:04:00,667
Speaker 2: How many people do you know? How many people do

1176
01:04:00,707 --> 01:04:04,147
Speaker 2: you know who who go along to watch a team

1177
01:04:04,347 --> 01:04:09,707
Speaker 2: their their team and and you know, and clap everything

1178
01:04:09,787 --> 01:04:11,427
Speaker 2: the opposition does as well.

1179
01:04:14,387 --> 01:04:16,787
Speaker 13: Well, I can't give you a number.

1180
01:04:17,427 --> 01:04:18,907
Speaker 2: Well, I reckon, it's a low number.

1181
01:04:20,787 --> 01:04:21,987
Speaker 13: Well, ever, it's a low number.

1182
01:04:21,987 --> 01:04:22,827
Speaker 14: They are low people.

1183
01:04:23,387 --> 01:04:26,707
Speaker 2: Well, kel when I think we're sports supporters. Look, I

1184
01:04:26,787 --> 01:04:29,627
Speaker 2: know what you're saying, and look I understand that you

1185
01:04:29,667 --> 01:04:34,147
Speaker 2: know you're very diplomatic and that you're applauding good play

1186
01:04:34,187 --> 01:04:36,107
Speaker 2: out there. And if you've got no skin in the game.

1187
01:04:36,387 --> 01:04:39,467
Speaker 2: Absolutely fine. If you're watching the game as a neutral

1188
01:04:39,827 --> 01:04:43,827
Speaker 2: it's not your team out there, then absolutely just you know,

1189
01:04:44,067 --> 01:04:47,867
Speaker 2: appreciate it for the aesthetic athletic ability that's going on.

1190
01:04:48,307 --> 01:04:53,347
Speaker 2: But if I'm at a game of any sport and

1191
01:04:53,507 --> 01:04:58,467
Speaker 2: my team is playing the All Blacks, the Pulse, the Hurricanes,

1192
01:04:59,307 --> 01:05:03,387
Speaker 2: the Firebirds, all of those teams, and somebody from the

1193
01:05:03,507 --> 01:05:08,427
Speaker 2: other team scores a tr try or hits a sex,

1194
01:05:08,627 --> 01:05:10,587
Speaker 2: or takes a wicket or scores a got any of

1195
01:05:10,627 --> 01:05:14,667
Speaker 2: those things, I'm not cheering for them. I'm not booing them,

1196
01:05:15,027 --> 01:05:19,427
Speaker 2: but I am not cheering for the team who's playing

1197
01:05:19,467 --> 01:05:22,947
Speaker 2: against my team. That is not sports fandom for me.

1198
01:05:23,787 --> 01:05:28,467
Speaker 2: I may be in the minority. I don't think I am,

1199
01:05:28,627 --> 01:05:30,067
Speaker 2: but that's my approach to sport.

1200
01:05:30,987 --> 01:05:34,907
Speaker 14: Hello Ellison, Hello, Yes, I think that booing of Dokovich

1201
01:05:35,067 --> 01:05:38,067
Speaker 14: was ridiculous because when I Arki played the Tennessee she

1202
01:05:38,147 --> 01:05:40,187
Speaker 14: pulled out of the tennis when she's playing in Auckland

1203
01:05:40,227 --> 01:05:42,787
Speaker 14: and we didn't boo her. That's just an Australian thing

1204
01:05:42,827 --> 01:05:45,187
Speaker 14: I reckon, just because they don't like him over there

1205
01:05:45,227 --> 01:05:47,307
Speaker 14: for some reason because he said he was poisoned or something.

1206
01:05:47,307 --> 01:05:51,227
Speaker 14: Once they never got over that, did they. So I mean,

1207
01:05:51,427 --> 01:05:54,067
Speaker 14: I think he will come back and get another title anyway.

1208
01:05:54,227 --> 01:05:56,747
Speaker 14: I think he's already got the he's twenty four and hour,

1209
01:05:56,747 --> 01:05:58,627
Speaker 14: he's already got the number on the twenty five shoes

1210
01:05:58,947 --> 01:06:00,947
Speaker 14: for the shoes, hasn't he? So he has to win

1211
01:06:00,987 --> 01:06:03,907
Speaker 14: another one anyway. I don't know after that, but I

1212
01:06:03,907 --> 01:06:06,067
Speaker 14: think he definitely will win another title.

1213
01:06:06,987 --> 01:06:11,667
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Alison, I almost hope he does. It would

1214
01:06:11,667 --> 01:06:14,827
Speaker 2: be almost I'd like to see him go to twenty

1215
01:06:14,867 --> 01:06:15,827
Speaker 2: five just to achieve it.

1216
01:06:15,907 --> 01:06:16,427
Speaker 9: He's been.

1217
01:06:16,867 --> 01:06:19,187
Speaker 2: He's been clearly, you know, one of the greats, if

1218
01:06:19,227 --> 01:06:21,707
Speaker 2: not the greatest tennis player of all time to be

1219
01:06:21,827 --> 01:06:24,267
Speaker 2: marooned on twenty four. But I just wonder which one

1220
01:06:24,787 --> 01:06:29,827
Speaker 2: he might win this year. It feels as the US Open.

1221
01:06:30,227 --> 01:06:33,747
Speaker 14: Yeah, it depends on the other players too. Whether the

1222
01:06:33,787 --> 01:06:36,427
Speaker 14: other player puts our Carez, it only puts him out

1223
01:06:36,467 --> 01:06:40,667
Speaker 14: earlier on this being shouted very good, isn't he Actually

1224
01:06:41,227 --> 01:06:43,827
Speaker 14: he's going to be very good. But if somebody puts

1225
01:06:43,827 --> 01:06:46,307
Speaker 14: the other al Carez early on, he doesn't have to

1226
01:06:46,307 --> 01:06:48,747
Speaker 14: play him, then that's gives them a chance of getting

1227
01:06:48,787 --> 01:06:51,507
Speaker 14: another title. That's another thing, and that comes into it too.

1228
01:06:51,547 --> 01:06:55,587
Speaker 14: Doesn't it. Indeed, indeed you know and this matter thing keys,

1229
01:06:55,587 --> 01:07:00,467
Speaker 14: Oh what a wonderful when that was absolutely and her

1230
01:07:00,627 --> 01:07:03,387
Speaker 14: husband coaches. I didn't realize that they even gave her

1231
01:07:03,547 --> 01:07:06,547
Speaker 14: trophy for being her coach.

1232
01:07:06,987 --> 01:07:07,747
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.

1233
01:07:09,307 --> 01:07:09,467
Speaker 7: Well.

1234
01:07:09,747 --> 01:07:12,587
Speaker 14: Ex fact, I watched it last last night and they

1235
01:07:12,627 --> 01:07:14,227
Speaker 14: said we're now going to have a new They do

1236
01:07:14,267 --> 01:07:17,267
Speaker 14: it very well in Australia. They do all the very

1237
01:07:17,267 --> 01:07:20,507
Speaker 14: well set up. Is that Evon girla gone there giving

1238
01:07:20,547 --> 01:07:22,987
Speaker 14: the presentation. Oh gosh. And then they said we're going

1239
01:07:23,027 --> 01:07:25,187
Speaker 14: to have a new category this year for the current

1240
01:07:25,227 --> 01:07:28,307
Speaker 14: best coach. And then I did not as a husband

1241
01:07:28,347 --> 01:07:30,427
Speaker 14: at that stage, and they said, of course this is

1242
01:07:30,427 --> 01:07:32,467
Speaker 14: her husband coming up there. He looked a little bit

1243
01:07:32,547 --> 01:07:36,627
Speaker 14: show at that stage. And she was saying, oh, she

1244
01:07:36,707 --> 01:07:39,707
Speaker 14: was getting all tarry there at that stage. And then

1245
01:07:39,747 --> 01:07:41,467
Speaker 14: she couldn't see him. Then she should throw upset. There

1246
01:07:41,507 --> 01:07:43,507
Speaker 14: she says, where is my husband? Now she's looking around

1247
01:07:43,547 --> 01:07:44,867
Speaker 14: and the other girl so there he is. There is

1248
01:07:44,907 --> 01:07:47,187
Speaker 14: something or other. It was very well done. But the

1249
01:07:47,227 --> 01:07:49,707
Speaker 14: whole thing I just want to say about this, and

1250
01:07:49,867 --> 01:07:51,907
Speaker 14: I was just reading about this slice Andrews the cycling.

1251
01:07:52,027 --> 01:07:54,427
Speaker 14: What a wonderful thing she does with sprints and she

1252
01:07:54,467 --> 01:07:56,507
Speaker 14: does the care and now she's going might be doing

1253
01:07:56,507 --> 01:07:58,707
Speaker 14: this the thousand one as well. She might be going

1254
01:07:58,787 --> 01:08:01,307
Speaker 14: to do for as well as actually studying. And she

1255
01:08:01,427 --> 01:08:04,787
Speaker 14: also sings as we's a music as well.

1256
01:08:04,987 --> 01:08:08,187
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's an absolute She's a diamond of a

1257
01:08:08,267 --> 01:08:12,467
Speaker 2: human being. Alise Andrews Ellison. I just love watching her compete.

1258
01:08:12,667 --> 01:08:15,987
Speaker 2: I love her steely determination. Her dad's her coach as well. Obviously,

1259
01:08:16,907 --> 01:08:21,027
Speaker 2: so John, isn't it. So yeah, there's the family connection there. Hey,

1260
01:08:21,027 --> 01:08:25,987
Speaker 2: good to chat to you, Ellison. Thank you just to

1261
01:08:26,427 --> 01:08:29,347
Speaker 2: text you your caller talking about Nebles on the money pinty.

1262
01:08:29,347 --> 01:08:32,347
Speaker 2: It's called sportsmanship. Maybe it happens more in women's sport

1263
01:08:32,387 --> 01:08:36,387
Speaker 2: because we have better manners. The suggestion was made that

1264
01:08:36,387 --> 01:08:39,547
Speaker 2: that when you're watching a game or any any sport,

1265
01:08:39,587 --> 01:08:45,867
Speaker 2: that you should applaud, acknowledge, cheer even for the opposition.

1266
01:08:47,707 --> 01:08:51,547
Speaker 2: I just I've never done it. If i'm if I'm

1267
01:08:51,547 --> 01:08:53,787
Speaker 2: at a, if I'm at a, so I won't say

1268
01:08:53,787 --> 01:08:58,827
Speaker 2: I've never done it. For example, someone scores a century

1269
01:08:58,827 --> 01:09:00,867
Speaker 2: against New Zealand when they bring the hundred up, Yes

1270
01:09:00,907 --> 01:09:04,027
Speaker 2: you clap that, Yes you do you clap? That is

1271
01:09:04,067 --> 01:09:06,947
Speaker 2: that you acknowledge it. Yes, well done, mate, you've brought

1272
01:09:07,027 --> 01:09:10,107
Speaker 2: up your hundred. We applaud that. We applaud that. But

1273
01:09:10,707 --> 01:09:13,547
Speaker 2: if we're playing Australia and Australia take a wicket, I'm

1274
01:09:13,587 --> 01:09:18,307
Speaker 2: not applauding that. If somebody is playing against my football

1275
01:09:18,347 --> 01:09:20,547
Speaker 2: team and they score a goal, I'm not applauding that.

1276
01:09:23,947 --> 01:09:26,347
Speaker 2: I'm not booing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not booing.

1277
01:09:27,147 --> 01:09:30,107
Speaker 2: But you think of a football stadium when a goal

1278
01:09:30,187 --> 01:09:34,187
Speaker 2: goes in scored by the away team, Apart from the

1279
01:09:34,227 --> 01:09:40,067
Speaker 2: small pocket of away fans who go absolutely mad, there's

1280
01:09:40,107 --> 01:09:46,347
Speaker 2: no cheering or applauding by the home fans. It's the opposite.

1281
01:09:47,747 --> 01:09:54,867
Speaker 2: So the fandomo not football. Sports fandom is about supporting

1282
01:09:54,907 --> 01:10:00,387
Speaker 2: your team, and by default that means not supporting the

1283
01:10:00,467 --> 01:10:03,947
Speaker 2: team that your team is playing. I would have thought again,

1284
01:10:04,947 --> 01:10:07,507
Speaker 2: at the risk of repeating myself, it doesn't mean that

1285
01:10:07,547 --> 01:10:11,427
Speaker 2: you're booing the other team or sledging them or giving

1286
01:10:11,467 --> 01:10:15,187
Speaker 2: them any lip. It just means that I just would

1287
01:10:15,307 --> 01:10:19,107
Speaker 2: feel completely at odds with my support for my teams

1288
01:10:19,107 --> 01:10:22,347
Speaker 2: if I was apporting something in the opposition. Did anyway,

1289
01:10:22,747 --> 01:10:25,707
Speaker 2: Let's move it's twenty two away from two Whomen Come Back.

1290

1297
01:10:50,427 --> 01:10:54,347
Speaker 12: the cultures or concert, but for Storm Purvis's wedding. She

1298
01:10:54,467 --> 01:10:57,387
Speaker 12: married Dan Hilton Jones, so North Harbor Rugby fans might

1299
01:10:57,707 --> 01:10:59,627
Speaker 12: know his name, but of course Storm purpose from the

1300
01:10:59,667 --> 01:11:02,907
Speaker 12: crowd goes while in the Silver fans fantastic.

1301
01:11:02,907 --> 01:11:05,507
Speaker 2: Well, I'll wait for the magazine spread to take in

1302
01:11:05,547 --> 01:11:08,387
Speaker 2: all the photos. Were you told you weren't allowed to

1303
01:11:08,387 --> 01:11:08,827
Speaker 2: take any?

1304
01:11:09,707 --> 01:11:11,187
Speaker 12: Yeah, we were told, and I was going to break

1305
01:11:11,267 --> 01:11:15,107
Speaker 12: ranks gon have met you, and of course you know,

1306
01:11:15,147 --> 01:11:16,547
Speaker 12: I looked around and I was, am I going to

1307
01:11:16,627 --> 01:11:21,627
Speaker 12: be the only person who decides to take photos and

1308
01:11:21,747 --> 01:11:24,627
Speaker 12: in that we've just specifically been told not to. And

1309
01:11:24,707 --> 01:11:27,667
Speaker 12: then I realized, look, we need a shot for the show.

1310
01:11:27,827 --> 01:11:31,187
Speaker 12: For crowd goes well, so I put my phone in

1311
01:11:31,267 --> 01:11:34,867
Speaker 12: landscape mode, you know, TV mode, and took a photo

1312
01:11:34,867 --> 01:11:38,147
Speaker 12: of the first I mean a video of the first kiss.

1313
01:11:38,467 --> 01:11:40,187
Speaker 12: So I don't know whether I'm going to be allowed

1314
01:11:40,227 --> 01:11:41,947
Speaker 12: to use that on crowd go as well. But what's

1315
01:11:41,987 --> 01:11:42,467
Speaker 12: the space?

1316
01:11:43,227 --> 01:11:47,547
Speaker 2: Always working? You're always working, James, always working, always just

1317
01:11:47,547 --> 01:11:49,147
Speaker 2: in the back of your mind, how can I get

1318
01:11:49,147 --> 01:11:54,987
Speaker 2: the content? The Australian Tennis Open comes to its conclusion

1319
01:11:55,027 --> 01:11:57,987
Speaker 2: tonight with the men singles final. I'm not sure whether

1320
01:11:58,027 --> 01:11:59,827
Speaker 2: you had the opportunity to watch the women's final or

1321
01:11:59,947 --> 01:12:02,507
Speaker 2: caught up on it. But Madison Keys, I was. I

1322
01:12:02,547 --> 01:12:04,987
Speaker 2: was a fan of her finally winning a major.

1323
01:12:05,787 --> 01:12:06,267
Speaker 9: Yes, I was.

1324
01:12:07,107 --> 01:12:10,587
Speaker 12: I've seen Madison Keys grow up from tennis prodigy. She

1325
01:12:10,667 --> 01:12:13,187
Speaker 12: was on the tour at fourteen years of age and

1326
01:12:13,227 --> 01:12:17,147
Speaker 12: she turns thirty next month. So this is an amazing

1327
01:12:17,227 --> 01:12:19,867
Speaker 12: story really because she you know, she lived in the

1328
01:12:19,867 --> 01:12:23,427
Speaker 12: shadow of the Williams sisters, and every time a new

1329
01:12:23,507 --> 01:12:28,227
Speaker 12: tennis star emerged, she was she seemed to move further

1330
01:12:28,307 --> 01:12:31,467
Speaker 12: back down the taxi rank. So you know, Sloan Stevens

1331
01:12:31,547 --> 01:12:36,547
Speaker 12: and Coco Vandaway and Coco Goff and then now Madison

1332
01:12:36,667 --> 01:12:40,747
Speaker 12: Key's just been plugging away. She is you know she

1333
01:12:40,827 --> 01:12:43,707
Speaker 12: hits the ball hard. She's pretty tall, you know, five

1334
01:12:43,707 --> 01:12:46,907
Speaker 12: point ten, she can you know, she's got that that

1335
01:12:47,027 --> 01:12:50,747
Speaker 12: bill to be a Grand Slam tennis winner and finally

1336
01:12:50,747 --> 01:12:53,747
Speaker 12: put it all together perfectly. But there's a nice story

1337
01:12:53,787 --> 01:12:56,267
Speaker 12: behind it, pony about her rackets. Have you caught up

1338
01:12:56,267 --> 01:12:56,547
Speaker 12: with us?

1339
01:12:56,987 --> 01:12:57,067
Speaker 7: No?

1340
01:12:57,147 --> 01:12:57,587
Speaker 2: I haven't.

1341
01:12:58,307 --> 01:13:03,147
Speaker 12: So she was a Wilson racket user for many years,

1342
01:13:03,227 --> 01:13:06,027
Speaker 12: probably a decade, and last year decided to change to

1343
01:13:06,067 --> 01:13:11,267
Speaker 12: you and then and also got married coincidentally to one

1344
01:13:11,267 --> 01:13:15,707
Speaker 12: of her coaches and who she'd been dating for seven years.

1345
01:13:15,707 --> 01:13:20,067
Speaker 12: So married in November. Suddenly, new new racket, new husband,

1346
01:13:20,667 --> 01:13:22,987
Speaker 12: and she's winning a Grand Slam. And so she won

1347
01:13:23,027 --> 01:13:25,627
Speaker 12: them with your X. And then meanwhile, over on the

1348
01:13:25,627 --> 01:13:29,747
Speaker 12: other side of the court, Sablenka smashing her Wilson, which

1349
01:13:29,787 --> 01:13:33,827
Speaker 12: is a record that then Madison Keys used to you.

1350
01:13:34,107 --> 01:13:37,867
Speaker 12: So yeah, one empire rise with another one another one falls.

1351
01:13:38,787 --> 01:13:42,907
Speaker 2: Not a great night for Wilson, No, not a great night. Hey.

1352
01:13:42,947 --> 01:13:45,587
Speaker 2: We had We had some Kiwi involvements as well. Quite

1353
01:13:45,627 --> 01:13:49,467
Speaker 2: deep into the women's doubles and the mixed doubles. Aaron

1354
01:13:49,547 --> 01:13:52,347
Speaker 2: Ratliff and Michael Venus together couldn't get past the semi

1355
01:13:52,427 --> 01:13:56,507
Speaker 2: finals unfortunately, but I enjoyed watching a couple of kiwis

1356
01:13:56,547 --> 01:13:58,187
Speaker 2: go deep in the mixed doubles.

1357
01:13:58,987 --> 01:14:01,787
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's awesome. You know, they're almost a father daughter combination.

1358
01:14:01,947 --> 01:14:07,107
Speaker 12: Michael Venus slapped me for saying that. But thirty seven,

1359
01:14:07,187 --> 01:14:09,907
Speaker 12: so he's slightly younger than goal Moffeast, but you know,

1360
01:14:10,867 --> 01:14:15,347
Speaker 12: and is one of the veterans and outstanding doubles player.

1361
01:14:15,467 --> 01:14:18,907
Speaker 12: You know, he's won a Grand Slam before, He's won

1362
01:14:18,947 --> 01:14:21,267
Speaker 12: of bronze medal at the Olympics with Marcus Daniel. But

1363
01:14:21,627 --> 01:14:24,667
Speaker 12: what I really like is that they've got this amazing chemistry.

1364
01:14:24,787 --> 01:14:27,827
Speaker 12: They want to play all the majors again this year together,

1365
01:14:28,307 --> 01:14:30,867
Speaker 12: so they've committed to that. Actually, while I was interviewed them,

1366
01:14:31,067 --> 01:14:33,547
Speaker 12: interviewing them for Sky Sport, I sort of put them

1367
01:14:33,547 --> 01:14:36,347
Speaker 12: on the spot a little bit and Aaron said, I'm

1368
01:14:36,347 --> 01:14:38,427
Speaker 12: always the one as to ask Michael, and Michael goes,

1369
01:14:38,467 --> 01:14:41,027
Speaker 12: I'm disorganized, And so suddenly they said, yeah, we'll play.

1370
01:14:41,387 --> 01:14:43,267
Speaker 12: He goes, do you want to play French? He goes yes.

1371
01:14:43,747 --> 01:14:45,987
Speaker 12: And then now they're going to play Wimbledon and the

1372
01:14:46,067 --> 01:14:49,107
Speaker 12: US Open, and it means that New Zealand has a

1373
01:14:49,187 --> 01:14:51,307
Speaker 12: chance in New Zealand doubles pairing has a chance to

1374
01:14:51,347 --> 01:14:54,267
Speaker 12: win a first key with Grand Slam for doubles. There's

1375
01:14:54,267 --> 01:14:57,507
Speaker 12: been plenty of key players of one doubles titles with

1376
01:14:57,987 --> 01:15:00,667
Speaker 12: players from other nations, but never a key we pairing.

1377
01:15:01,067 --> 01:15:02,867
Speaker 2: Oh, we'll look forward to that. I was just having

1378
01:15:03,067 --> 01:15:07,187
Speaker 2: a quick check on Michael Venus's career. He's made a

1379
01:15:07,187 --> 01:15:09,427
Speaker 2: pretty good career out of being a very good doubles player.

1380
01:15:09,507 --> 01:15:12,467
Speaker 2: Four point seven million UIST dollars in price money.

1381
01:15:13,427 --> 01:15:15,267
Speaker 12: I know, it's amazing. And actually, do you know what

1382
01:15:15,307 --> 01:15:19,907
Speaker 12: mixed doubles is very watchable? They play, you know, they

1383
01:15:19,907 --> 01:15:22,187
Speaker 12: don't really play best of three sets if it's if

1384
01:15:22,187 --> 01:15:24,747
Speaker 12: it's one set, or they goes straight into a super tiebreaker,

1385
01:15:25,627 --> 01:15:30,667
Speaker 12: which is first to ten. I think first to ten,

1386
01:15:30,787 --> 01:15:35,667
Speaker 12: So you know it's it's high drama, high entertainment, attainment,

1387
01:15:35,747 --> 01:15:38,187
Speaker 12: a lot of pressure on each point, which I think

1388
01:15:38,267 --> 01:15:40,507
Speaker 12: is really what you want out of out of sport

1389
01:15:41,227 --> 01:15:44,667
Speaker 12: and for tennis. So I mean, let's make mixed doubles

1390
01:15:44,667 --> 01:15:46,107
Speaker 12: great again. Then Trump do it.

1391
01:15:46,147 --> 01:15:49,547
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know where that his involvement

1392
01:15:49,547 --> 01:15:54,227
Speaker 2: would necessarily be be integral to it, to mixed doubles

1393
01:15:54,267 --> 01:15:56,307
Speaker 2: becoming great again. Look, I think of this in this

1394
01:15:56,387 --> 01:15:59,067
Speaker 2: part of the world. If Aaron Ratlif and Michael Venus

1395
01:15:59,107 --> 01:16:01,667
Speaker 2: can win a Grand Slam, then yeah, I think would

1396
01:16:02,227 --> 01:16:04,627
Speaker 2: you know it would be very very happy with that. Hey,

1397
01:16:04,947 --> 01:16:07,027
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about I know it's

1398
01:16:07,027 --> 01:16:10,227
Speaker 2: only the twenty sixth of January, but actually Super Rugby

1399
01:16:10,267 --> 01:16:13,227
Speaker 2: starts and is it three weeks man? That's going to

1400
01:16:13,267 --> 01:16:15,907
Speaker 2: come round quick? The Fiji and Drewer are going to

1401
01:16:15,947 --> 01:16:21,747
Speaker 2: play against major League rugby side Rugby Football Club Los

1402
01:16:21,747 --> 01:16:24,067
Speaker 2: Angeles as one of their preseason games.

1403
01:16:24,467 --> 01:16:27,387
Speaker 12: Well, they played them on Friday, Pony and it was

1404
01:16:27,627 --> 01:16:32,147
Speaker 12: reasonably close, high scoring game. The DLUA got up so

1405
01:16:32,187 --> 01:16:37,067
Speaker 12: they won it. Well, I looked at LAFC and RFC

1406
01:16:37,147 --> 01:16:41,787
Speaker 12: and they scored several good tries. They were combative in

1407
01:16:41,827 --> 01:16:43,787
Speaker 12: the forwards, and I just think, is this a glipse,

1408
01:16:44,347 --> 01:16:46,747
Speaker 12: you know, to the future of rugby. Can we get

1409
01:16:46,787 --> 01:16:50,467
Speaker 12: an American team into Super Rugby? They seem pretty competitive

1410
01:16:50,507 --> 01:16:52,347
Speaker 12: and this is a team that Yeah, they had a

1411
01:16:52,347 --> 01:16:56,147
Speaker 12: couple of really gun players, lelia Fano at verse five

1412
01:16:56,187 --> 01:16:59,667
Speaker 12: and the Tryano, the Puma's half back. But then there

1413
01:16:59,707 --> 01:17:04,507
Speaker 12: were players from Randwick Club Rugby. You know, in Sydney

1414
01:17:05,027 --> 01:17:07,667
Speaker 12: filling in so one so that a team like that

1415
01:17:08,107 --> 01:17:11,227
Speaker 12: can get bolstered by more talent, then could they actually

1416
01:17:11,307 --> 01:17:15,827
Speaker 12: be continue to play Super Rugby? And maybe does Super

1417
01:17:15,867 --> 01:17:19,587
Speaker 12: Rugby think about doing two divisions? This is where I mean,

1418
01:17:20,227 --> 01:17:23,147
Speaker 12: I know it's hard to see that happening when you

1419
01:17:23,147 --> 01:17:25,907
Speaker 12: see what's happening with crowd numbers, but I think something

1420
01:17:25,947 --> 01:17:28,587
Speaker 12: needs to happen to the game that needs to expand.

1421
01:17:28,787 --> 01:17:32,827
Speaker 12: And America is fresh pastures and this time of year.

1422
01:17:32,867 --> 01:17:36,307
Speaker 12: Of course, once the Super Bowl is over next week,

1423
01:17:36,587 --> 01:17:40,227
Speaker 12: there's no American football really in the college football season

1424
01:17:40,347 --> 01:17:43,067
Speaker 12: is pretty much done and dusted, so there's there's clear

1425
01:17:43,107 --> 01:17:46,987
Speaker 12: air for rugby a lot. You know, from February through

1426
01:17:47,507 --> 01:17:48,187
Speaker 12: the June.

1427
01:17:48,707 --> 01:17:50,267
Speaker 2: Are think the sorts of things that are sort of

1428
01:17:50,267 --> 01:17:52,267
Speaker 2: going through your mind as the wedding vows are being

1429
01:17:52,307 --> 01:17:55,947
Speaker 2: read yesterday or an Allullan proceedings at the wedding, and

1430
01:17:55,987 --> 01:17:58,107
Speaker 2: these are the sorts of things that that pop into

1431
01:17:58,147 --> 01:17:58,547
Speaker 2: your head.

1432
01:17:59,267 --> 01:18:02,507
Speaker 12: Yeah, can we get La Rugby in Super it's just

1433
01:18:02,627 --> 01:18:05,587
Speaker 12: super Yeah, that's all I going to make a speech.

1434
01:18:05,627 --> 01:18:10,267
Speaker 12: Pony I got dropped as m C and against that

1435
01:18:10,867 --> 01:18:19,227
Speaker 12: who who for a brother and sister combo and you

1436
01:18:19,347 --> 01:18:21,147
Speaker 12: can't argue with that. I'm not going to sort of

1437
01:18:21,187 --> 01:18:24,147
Speaker 12: throw my toys. But I did say, well, I had

1438
01:18:24,187 --> 01:18:27,467
Speaker 12: actually already prepared something, so maybe and so Storm said, well,

1439
01:18:27,547 --> 01:18:30,147
Speaker 12: why don't you introduce the MC So I sort of

1440
01:18:30,227 --> 01:18:32,227
Speaker 12: managed to muscle my hand to the wedding, feeling a

1441
01:18:32,267 --> 01:18:36,667
Speaker 12: bit guilty about that now, pulling focus like a proper

1442
01:18:36,787 --> 01:18:40,507
Speaker 12: TV person. So you know, I'm keeping a low profile today.

1443
01:18:40,707 --> 01:18:42,947
Speaker 12: You know there will be no big entrances to the

1444
01:18:43,187 --> 01:18:44,547
Speaker 12: to the barbecue the day after.

1445
01:18:45,507 --> 01:18:47,787
Speaker 2: I'm going to make So there's two distinct sets of

1446
01:18:47,827 --> 01:18:51,107
Speaker 2: people in Topaul. There's the there's the wedding crowd for

1447
01:18:51,187 --> 01:18:54,427
Speaker 2: storm Purpose's wedding, and there's the Cold Chisel crowd. Have

1448
01:18:54,587 --> 01:18:57,307
Speaker 2: they been in evidence around Topaul in the last little while?

1449
01:18:57,787 --> 01:19:00,067
Speaker 12: Oh they have, I can see them. And I think

1450
01:19:00,107 --> 01:19:02,227
Speaker 12: that the father of the groom would have rather been

1451
01:19:02,267 --> 01:19:07,187
Speaker 12: at Cold Chisel by the sounds of things. Russell Hilton Jones,

1452
01:19:07,187 --> 01:19:09,907
Speaker 12: I'll throw him under the bus at former North Harbor

1453
01:19:09,947 --> 01:19:12,867
Speaker 12: Flanka and in Northland as well, I think, And so

1454
01:19:13,107 --> 01:19:16,907
Speaker 12: he yeah, he was definitely talking about cultures and a

1455
01:19:16,987 --> 01:19:20,347
Speaker 12: lot last night, wondering what the playlist was, and you

1456
01:19:20,427 --> 01:19:22,267
Speaker 12: know when are they going to play forever now and

1457
01:19:22,307 --> 01:19:24,547
Speaker 12: all this kind of thing. I was like, okay, so

1458
01:19:24,587 --> 01:19:26,827
Speaker 12: we'll just focus. We've got free Booze here. We're having

1459
01:19:26,867 --> 01:19:29,907
Speaker 12: a good time and you know that the band is

1460
01:19:29,987 --> 01:19:32,987
Speaker 12: playing Proclaims five hundred miles.

1461
01:19:33,107 --> 01:19:37,907
Speaker 2: It's not, of course, a wedding reception floor filler like that.

1462
01:19:38,107 --> 01:19:41,467
Speaker 2: You cannot go wrong. James safe travels back up to

1463

Speaker 2: Do YouTube mate. James mcconie, huge part of our Sundays

1467
01:19:51,067 --> 01:19:54,427
Speaker 2: Alternative commentary collective. Craig goes wild all across your social

1468
01:19:54,907 --> 01:19:56,467
Speaker 2: media as well, and look out.

1469
01:19:56,347 --> 01:19:56,547
Speaker 11: For that.

1470
01:19:58,147 --> 01:20:01,707
Speaker 2: Prohibited, forbidden video. I think that's what happens if you're

1471
01:20:01,747 --> 01:20:06,827
Speaker 2: really famous. The magazines, the women's magazines, get the you know,

1472
01:20:06,947 --> 01:20:10,707
Speaker 2: they signed the deal. I've never been in this situation

1473
01:20:10,987 --> 01:20:13,587
Speaker 2: as a guest, or certainly not as the participants in

1474
01:20:13,667 --> 01:20:16,427
Speaker 2: a wedding either. But they say, okay, we'll pay you

1475
01:20:16,667 --> 01:20:19,227
Speaker 2: X amount of dollars, but no one can take photos

1476
01:20:19,987 --> 01:20:21,867
Speaker 2: because we want to be the ones for the photos.

1477
01:20:22,267 --> 01:20:24,987
Speaker 2: I think that's what's happened here. I hope it was

1478
01:20:24,987 --> 01:20:26,947
Speaker 2: a brilliant Dan topor I'm sure it was night away

1479
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:28,267
Speaker 2: from two news talks events.

1480
01:20:28,507 --> 01:20:32,187
Speaker 1: Analyzing every view from every angle in the sporting world,

1481
01:20:32,227 --> 01:20:34,427
Speaker 1: to weekends for it with Jason Vaie.

1482
01:20:34,587 --> 01:20:37,227
Speaker 8: They call eight hundred and eighty eight US Talk z

1483
01:20:37,307 --> 01:20:38,507
Speaker 8: MB six to two.

1484
01:20:38,547 --> 01:20:40,187
Speaker 2: I just want to circle back to the tennis before

1485
01:20:40,427 --> 01:20:44,387
Speaker 2: the two o'clock news. Madison Keys a major champion at last,

1486
01:20:44,947 --> 01:20:47,707
Speaker 2: at the forty sixth attempt. She's finally won one the

1487
01:20:47,747 --> 01:20:51,067
Speaker 2: Australian Open last night when she beat Arena Sabalinka. Did

1488
01:20:51,147 --> 01:20:53,987
Speaker 2: she ever have doubts about her career and that she

1489
01:20:54,027 --> 01:20:55,347
Speaker 2: would ever win a major?

1490
01:20:56,107 --> 01:20:59,587
Speaker 15: I finally got to the point where I was proud

1491
01:20:59,627 --> 01:21:02,987
Speaker 15: of myself and proud of my career with or without

1492
01:21:03,027 --> 01:21:06,307
Speaker 15: a Grand Slam. And I finally got to the point

1493
01:21:06,467 --> 01:21:08,587
Speaker 15: where I was okay if it didn't happen. I didn't

1494
01:21:08,747 --> 01:21:13,467
Speaker 15: need it to feel like I had a good career

1495
01:21:13,747 --> 01:21:17,107
Speaker 15: or that I deserved to be, you know, talked about

1496
01:21:17,907 --> 01:21:20,787
Speaker 15: as a great tennis player. And I feel like finally

1497
01:21:20,907 --> 01:21:24,267
Speaker 15: letting go of that kind of internal talk that I

1498
01:21:24,427 --> 01:21:28,507
Speaker 15: had just gave me the ability to actually go out

1499
01:21:28,667 --> 01:21:31,467
Speaker 15: and play some really good tennis. To actually win a

1500
01:21:31,507 --> 01:21:31,987
Speaker 15: Grand Slam.

1501
01:21:33,067 --> 01:21:36,987
Speaker 2: Was there a moment during the Australian Open where she

1502
01:21:37,587 --> 01:21:41,347
Speaker 2: realized or believed that she actually could win it.

1503
01:21:41,827 --> 01:21:45,547
Speaker 15: I just slowly started continuing to build the confidence, and

1504
01:21:45,947 --> 01:21:48,187
Speaker 15: part of it was that I never really got ahead

1505
01:21:48,267 --> 01:21:51,067
Speaker 15: of myself in each round. I never once thought about

1506
01:21:51,227 --> 01:21:55,427
Speaker 15: the next round until I was actually there. So I think, yes,

1507
01:21:55,547 --> 01:21:57,107
Speaker 15: I believed that I could do it, But I also

1508
01:21:57,147 --> 01:21:59,067
Speaker 15: think I did a good job at, you know, just

1509
01:21:59,147 --> 01:22:00,587
Speaker 15: focusing on the task at hand.

1510
01:22:00,547 --> 01:22:02,987
Speaker 2: And medicine case. Finally, on the messages she gets from

1511
01:22:03,027 --> 01:22:04,027
Speaker 2: her friends on tour.

1512
01:22:04,307 --> 01:22:06,947
Speaker 15: I've really grown up on the tour, and I've grown

1513
01:22:07,027 --> 01:22:10,587
Speaker 15: up with some other amazing people on this tour, and

1514
01:22:11,507 --> 01:22:14,947
Speaker 15: some of my closest friends also play, so I think

1515
01:22:15,547 --> 01:22:17,707
Speaker 15: we all are very good at cheering each other on,

1516
01:22:18,067 --> 01:22:21,027
Speaker 15: and their wins feel like our wins, So, you know,

1517
01:22:21,187 --> 01:22:23,227
Speaker 15: to be in to be in the position of actually

1518
01:22:23,307 --> 01:22:27,347
Speaker 15: winning and them getting to be the cheerleaders, it feels

1519
01:22:27,387 --> 01:22:30,387
Speaker 15: really nice, just because after all of these years watching

1520
01:22:30,427 --> 01:22:33,867
Speaker 15: all of my friends do so well, it has always

1521
01:22:33,867 --> 01:22:37,147
Speaker 15: felt like a win for me. So I'm happy that

1522
01:22:37,227 --> 01:22:38,627
Speaker 15: I can repair the favor.

1523
01:22:38,667 --> 01:22:41,547
Speaker 2: That is Madison Keys on the occasion of her first

1524
01:22:41,627 --> 01:22:44,147
Speaker 2: win in a tennis major. One of the Australian Open

1525
01:22:44,427 --> 01:22:47,027
Speaker 2: women's singles last night is Veriev against Sinner tonight for

1526
01:22:47,107 --> 01:22:49,547
Speaker 2: the men's title, three and a half to two after

01:28:41,787 --> 01:28:43,827

Speaker 2: it surprise you?

1632
01:28:46,307 --> 01:28:46,467
Speaker 4: Uh?

1633
01:28:46,747 --> 01:28:50,987
Speaker 20: You know, I was pretty surprised. It's been a crazy

1634
01:28:51,107 --> 01:28:53,787
Speaker 20: journey to come here. To be a part of the

1635
01:28:53,867 --> 01:28:57,467
Speaker 20: ACTS Games this week has been absolutely incredible. And yeah,

1636
01:28:57,507 --> 01:29:00,747
Speaker 20: I was actually just an alternate coming into the slope

1637
01:29:00,787 --> 01:29:04,347
Speaker 20: style event this week, so I wasn't actually sure I

1638
01:29:04,467 --> 01:29:06,467
Speaker 20: was going to be able to to be a the

1639
01:29:06,507 --> 01:29:08,987
Speaker 20: start list then to compete until the night before the camp.

1640
01:29:10,627 --> 01:29:13,067
Speaker 20: So yeah, that was that was a pretty huge shock

1641
01:29:13,347 --> 01:29:16,667
Speaker 20: in it in itself. And yeah, that was my first

1642
01:29:16,747 --> 01:29:21,227
Speaker 20: float style, big float style win. I'd recently gotten two

1643
01:29:21,227 --> 01:29:24,347
Speaker 20: big air wins in in the World Cup circuit, but

1644
01:29:24,467 --> 01:29:26,827
Speaker 20: I uh, I've always been pushing for the float stell

1645
01:29:26,907 --> 01:29:29,227
Speaker 20: and then yeah, to get it here next Games has

1646
01:29:29,227 --> 01:29:31,787
Speaker 20: been absolutely incredible, And yeah, I did not see it coming.

1647
01:29:32,667 --> 01:29:35,787
Speaker 2: That's such a great story. Tell us about being an alternate.

1648
01:29:35,867 --> 01:29:36,907
Speaker 12: What is that like?

1649
01:29:37,067 --> 01:29:39,587
Speaker 2: Do you turn up white around for a but train

1650
01:29:40,107 --> 01:29:41,867
Speaker 2: and then, like you said, the night before, you find

1651
01:29:41,867 --> 01:29:43,427
Speaker 2: it all I'm actually competing.

1652
01:29:43,547 --> 01:29:44,627
Speaker 4: Is is it a bit like that?

1653
01:29:46,587 --> 01:29:50,947
Speaker 20: Yeah, it could be. Unfortunately, one of the competitors broke

1654
01:29:51,067 --> 01:29:54,387
Speaker 20: his arm in the in the competition the night before,

1655
01:29:55,147 --> 01:29:57,507
Speaker 20: so which meant he unfortunately had to pull out a

1656
01:29:57,547 --> 01:30:00,507
Speaker 20: float style the next day. So luckily I got a

1657
01:30:00,587 --> 01:30:02,587
Speaker 20: little bit of warning and a dance. I got the

1658
01:30:02,707 --> 01:30:05,827
Speaker 20: night to prepare. But it could have come down to

1659
01:30:05,947 --> 01:30:09,587
Speaker 20: second before the competition started, before I before I knew.

1660
01:30:10,747 --> 01:30:12,667
Speaker 20: But yeah, luckily this time around, I had a bit

1661
01:30:12,707 --> 01:30:13,027
Speaker 20: of time.

1662
01:30:14,307 --> 01:30:16,467
Speaker 2: It's good to hear what you in some ways, Luca

1663
01:30:16,987 --> 01:30:19,707
Speaker 2: under less pressure as an alternate coming in because really,

1664
01:30:19,747 --> 01:30:22,347
Speaker 2: I guess there's no expectation on you.

1665
01:30:23,747 --> 01:30:26,027
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think so, you know, I think my goals

1666
01:30:26,507 --> 01:30:28,867
Speaker 20: were to really just put down a run. I was

1667
01:30:28,907 --> 01:30:32,907
Speaker 20: really happy with push, push myself, push the sport, and

1668
01:30:33,267 --> 01:30:35,907
Speaker 20: you know see where I ended up. It was it

1669
01:30:36,027 --> 01:30:37,467
Speaker 20: was a goal of mine to make it through to

1670
01:30:37,547 --> 01:30:40,427
Speaker 20: the second round, which I did, and uh, I was

1671
01:30:40,587 --> 01:30:44,507
Speaker 20: I was pre dawn stoked after that in itself, and

1672
01:30:44,587 --> 01:30:47,707
Speaker 20: then yeah, it was pretty crazy to end up walking

1673
01:30:47,747 --> 01:30:48,507
Speaker 20: away with the gold.

1674
01:30:48,987 --> 01:30:51,307
Speaker 2: You've been training as you say, even as an alternate,

1675
01:30:51,387 --> 01:30:53,707
Speaker 2: did you feel confident once you were in the field

1676
01:30:53,787 --> 01:30:55,907
Speaker 2: that you could put down a good run in the Lipstonlee?

1677
01:30:57,667 --> 01:31:00,547
Speaker 20: You know, it was it was tough. It was great

1678
01:31:00,627 --> 01:31:03,187
Speaker 20: to be able to train all week with everyone, but

1679
01:31:03,427 --> 01:31:06,667
Speaker 20: you know, these are the best of the best, and

1680
01:31:06,907 --> 01:31:10,267
Speaker 20: watching watching them ski all week, you know, I was like, Wow,

1681
01:31:10,347 --> 01:31:12,667
Speaker 20: this is this is gonna be tough.

1682
01:31:13,227 --> 01:31:14,147
Speaker 18: So it was.

1683
01:31:14,547 --> 01:31:16,787
Speaker 20: But I definitely, you know, I felt confident in my

1684
01:31:16,907 --> 01:31:19,107
Speaker 20: skiing and I was really happy with how I trained

1685
01:31:19,187 --> 01:31:23,067
Speaker 20: and my performance leading into the competition. So yeah, I

1686
01:31:23,147 --> 01:31:25,507
Speaker 20: definitely had a fair bit of confidence in myself coming

1687
01:31:25,547 --> 01:31:29,467
Speaker 20: into the camp, and yeah, it was super super pleased

1688
01:31:29,507 --> 01:31:32,907
Speaker 20: with how how my confidence levels were dropping in and

1689
01:31:33,027 --> 01:31:34,667
Speaker 20: I think that helped my performance lot.

1690
01:31:35,227 --> 01:31:38,707
Speaker 2: You mentioned earlier the consecutive World Cup Biggie wins that

1691
01:31:38,867 --> 01:31:40,987
Speaker 2: you've had. They're quite different events from what I can

1692
01:31:41,027 --> 01:31:43,667
Speaker 2: tell though, one big jump as opposed to a series

1693
01:31:43,747 --> 01:31:47,507
Speaker 2: of tricks. But do those wins in the Biggie give

1694
01:31:47,547 --> 01:31:50,667
Speaker 2: you confidence in the slipestyle and does that confidence translight

1695
01:31:50,827 --> 01:31:51,827
Speaker 2: across events?

1696
01:31:53,827 --> 01:31:54,027
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1697
01:31:54,147 --> 01:31:58,747
Speaker 20: Absolutely. I mean the big air and foto are quite

1698
01:31:58,867 --> 01:32:03,547
Speaker 20: separate these days. It's a lot harder to combine. You know,

1699
01:32:03,827 --> 01:32:08,627
Speaker 20: three different jumps and three different rails all connected into

1700
01:32:08,707 --> 01:32:11,507
Speaker 20: one run and to perfect all of them going down

1701
01:32:12,067 --> 01:32:14,707
Speaker 20: versus just standing at the top and you know, being

1702
01:32:14,907 --> 01:32:17,987
Speaker 20: getting ready to just do one trick, one run, one jump.

1703
01:32:19,027 --> 01:32:20,987
Speaker 20: So yeah, blips is definitely a lot harder, but you

1704
01:32:21,027 --> 01:32:23,027
Speaker 20: know it's all connected and it all helped.

1705
01:32:23,867 --> 01:32:26,227
Speaker 2: So as it turned out, you won gold on your

1706
01:32:26,307 --> 01:32:30,187
Speaker 2: first run in the lip style, which was flawless. Tell

1707
01:32:30,267 --> 01:32:31,787
Speaker 2: us about that and what was going through you on

1708
01:32:31,947 --> 01:32:32,507
Speaker 2: during that run.

1709
01:32:33,867 --> 01:32:36,747
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean I did my first run in the

1710
01:32:36,827 --> 01:32:39,787
Speaker 20: first round. So there were two rounds in this pumpetition,

1711
01:32:39,867 --> 01:32:41,547
Speaker 20: which was a bit of a new format for us.

1712
01:32:41,947 --> 01:32:46,387
Speaker 20: But I had really nailed my first run and I

1713
01:32:46,507 --> 01:32:49,387
Speaker 20: was super proud of myself. I definitely had a couple

1714
01:32:49,467 --> 01:32:51,787
Speaker 20: of things I could step up too, which was exciting.

1715
01:32:53,107 --> 01:32:55,387
Speaker 20: So yeah, I had a decent store in the first round.

1716
01:32:56,107 --> 01:32:58,507
Speaker 20: But on my second run in the first round, I

1717
01:32:59,267 --> 01:33:02,067
Speaker 20: landed it even better and I got a I bumped

1718
01:33:02,147 --> 01:33:03,867
Speaker 20: up my run a little bit, and I was expecting

1719
01:33:03,947 --> 01:33:06,227
Speaker 20: my score to go up just just a couple of

1720
01:33:06,387 --> 01:33:09,067
Speaker 20: point and then uh, and then I moved up into

1721
01:33:09,147 --> 01:33:11,987
Speaker 20: first place going into the final round, which meant I

1722
01:33:12,067 --> 01:33:15,907
Speaker 20: got to drop lest which was pretty incredible, and uh,

1723
01:33:16,107 --> 01:33:18,187
Speaker 20: you know, I was scared. I was scared for that

1724
01:33:18,347 --> 01:33:22,227
Speaker 20: first round of the finals. I had so much adrenaline

1725
01:33:22,267 --> 01:33:24,667
Speaker 20: pumping and I was I was scared I was gonna

1726
01:33:24,707 --> 01:33:27,387
Speaker 20: mess something up. But it was it was Yeah, it

1727
01:33:27,467 --> 01:33:30,427
Speaker 20: was pretty nice to get through the top section clean

1728
01:33:31,347 --> 01:33:34,587
Speaker 20: on the rails, because that's kind of what I struggle

1729
01:33:34,627 --> 01:33:36,227
Speaker 20: with a little bit more. And then once they got

1730
01:33:36,267 --> 01:33:39,427
Speaker 20: to the jump, you know, my confidence really kicked in

1731
01:33:39,627 --> 01:33:41,947
Speaker 20: and I, uh, I just wanted to put on a

1732
01:33:41,987 --> 01:33:44,147
Speaker 20: good show for everyone, and then to get to the

1733
01:33:44,227 --> 01:33:48,067
Speaker 20: bottom and get them an amazing high score was just incredible.

1734
01:33:48,107 --> 01:33:50,627
Speaker 2: So good, so early on in the competition that you

1735
01:33:50,707 --> 01:33:53,747
Speaker 2: weren't expecting to compete in and you see your name

1736
01:33:53,827 --> 01:33:56,627
Speaker 2: at the top with a huge score, What did that

1737
01:33:56,787 --> 01:33:59,027
Speaker 2: do to your nerves? And maybe you're adrenaline for the

1738
01:33:59,107 --> 01:33:59,907
Speaker 2: rest of the competition.

1739
01:34:01,067 --> 01:34:03,427
Speaker 20: You know, I think the adrenaline was going the whole time.

1740
01:34:03,787 --> 01:34:05,787
Speaker 20: I mean, just being out here at X Games and

1741
01:34:05,867 --> 01:34:08,987
Speaker 20: you know, having a huge crowd at the bottom has

1742
01:34:09,187 --> 01:34:12,147
Speaker 20: just been absolutely insane. This whole week has been incredible.

1743
01:34:12,227 --> 01:34:14,907
Speaker 20: I've had, you know, so much energy and just been

1744
01:34:14,987 --> 01:34:18,387
Speaker 20: so happy, So you know, the adrenaline was definitely going,

1745
01:34:18,467 --> 01:34:22,347
Speaker 20: but it definitely went into over overdrive after that first

1746
01:34:22,427 --> 01:34:23,027
Speaker 20: run for sure.

1747
01:34:23,307 --> 01:34:25,507
Speaker 2: And did you feel like this performance was coming on

1748
01:34:25,667 --> 01:34:26,307
Speaker 2: recent form?

1749
01:34:26,947 --> 01:34:30,987
Speaker 20: You know, I wasn't sure. It's never something that I'm

1750
01:34:31,347 --> 01:34:34,707
Speaker 20: focusing on. I'm not focusing on winning the gold. I'm

1751
01:34:34,747 --> 01:34:38,107
Speaker 20: more focusing on, you know, myself, my skiing and doing

1752
01:34:38,147 --> 01:34:40,747
Speaker 20: the best that i can do, pushing myself to my limit,

1753
01:34:41,467 --> 01:34:43,747
Speaker 20: and you know, I think that probably helps me a

1754
01:34:43,827 --> 01:34:45,867
Speaker 20: lot coming into these competitions.

1755
01:34:46,427 --> 01:34:48,907

01:34:56,307 --> 01:34:58,467

1759
01:34:58,227 --> 01:35:02,627
Speaker 21: Away, definitely not. I mean, it's been absolutely incredible winning

1760
01:35:02,707 --> 01:35:05,227

Speaker 21: a lot, a lot of joy and happiness.

1762
01:35:09,027 --> 01:35:11,827
Speaker 20: But you know, I'm trying to focus in for tonight again.

1763
01:35:12,787 --> 01:35:15,107
Speaker 20: I'd love to, I'd love to walk away with another

1764
01:35:15,187 --> 01:35:17,547
Speaker 20: medal tonight, but it's gonna be it's gonna be hard.

1765
01:35:17,627 --> 01:35:19,587
Speaker 20: There's gonna be a lot of big tricks, a few

1766
01:35:19,627 --> 01:35:24,427
Speaker 20: worlds first being put down tonight and X Games. You know,

1767
01:35:25,187 --> 01:35:28,747
Speaker 20: X Games is where I run, pulls out, pulls out everything,

1768
01:35:28,827 --> 01:35:31,507
Speaker 20: you know, So it's definitely going to be a challenge tonight,

1769
01:35:31,627 --> 01:35:34,187
Speaker 20: but I'm super excited to go and put down my

1770
01:35:34,267 --> 01:35:35,787
Speaker 20: tricks and see what the judges think of it.

1771
01:35:36,107 --> 01:35:39,147
Speaker 2: And if we look slightly further ahead Winter Olympics next

1772
01:35:39,227 --> 01:35:41,507
Speaker 2: year and it tally, how much of a goal of

1773
01:35:41,627 --> 01:35:42,067
Speaker 2: a for you.

1774
01:35:43,187 --> 01:35:47,187
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's definitely bouncing towards the idea of the Olympics

1775
01:35:48,387 --> 01:35:50,987
Speaker 20: for sure, But you know, I'm still just trying to

1776
01:35:51,027 --> 01:35:55,667
Speaker 20: focus on this season to stay healthy, to keep getting

1777
01:35:55,707 --> 01:35:58,987
Speaker 20: some strong results, and then we can look at getting

1778
01:35:59,027 --> 01:36:00,347
Speaker 20: closer to the Olympics next.

1779
01:36:00,267 --> 01:36:03,107
Speaker 2: Year and just to finish with us win. I suppose

1780
01:36:03,227 --> 01:36:06,227
Speaker 2: now you're in the position where you've got to prefer

1781
01:36:06,467 --> 01:36:09,027
Speaker 2: events the big air end the slopestyle. So will this

1782
01:36:09,227 --> 01:36:10,827
Speaker 2: add to your schedule moving forward?

1783
01:36:11,547 --> 01:36:12,027
Speaker 4: Not really.

1784
01:36:12,187 --> 01:36:16,267
Speaker 20: I mean I try to specialize in both of them. Honestly,

1785
01:36:16,587 --> 01:36:20,107
Speaker 20: I was lucky enough this year to excel a little

1786
01:36:20,107 --> 01:36:22,427
Speaker 20: bit more earlier this season in the big airs, but

1787
01:36:22,867 --> 01:36:25,907
Speaker 20: you know, slope style is still also my favorite event

1788
01:36:25,987 --> 01:36:28,147
Speaker 20: to do as well, just as equal as big Air,

1789
01:36:29,027 --> 01:36:32,627
Speaker 20: if not more. So, you know, the schedule hasn't changed.

1790
01:36:32,667 --> 01:36:34,627
Speaker 20: We're still going to be doing all of the slope

1791
01:36:34,627 --> 01:36:37,067
Speaker 20: styles and all of the big airs and seeing where

1792
01:36:37,067 --> 01:36:37,747
Speaker 20: we can get with that.

1793
01:36:38,467 --> 01:36:42,107
Speaker 2: Well, look, congratulations on the lightest gold medal. It was

1794
01:36:42,587 --> 01:36:46,387

1820
01:37:56,147 --> 01:37:57,907
Speaker 2: to try and be find the position. Here comes Naves

1821
01:37:58,907 --> 01:37:59,707
Speaker 2: and is he going to.

1822
01:37:59,747 --> 01:38:02,267
Speaker 22: Take on Plappy on the corner because only's going to

1823
01:38:02,427 --> 01:38:06,227

Speaker 4: Now.

1827
01:38:11,507 --> 01:38:14,187
Speaker 22: As Navez comes around the corner, I guess the victory,

1828
01:38:14,307 --> 01:38:18,547
Speaker 22: gets the ten second bonus. He will take the Oka

1829

1831
01:38:23,067 --> 01:38:27,627
Speaker 2: previous leader, Spain'sjavier Romo. Kee we Fin Fisher Black third overall,

1832
01:38:27,827 --> 01:38:31,747
Speaker 2: just twelve seconds behind the leader. Fin Fisher. Black's had

1833
01:38:31,827 --> 01:38:34,867
Speaker 2: two podium finishes so far on the tour, and fellow

1834
01:38:34,947 --> 01:38:38,827
Speaker 2: Keey Corbyn Strong has had three top ten finishes. The

1835
01:38:38,907 --> 01:38:42,827
Speaker 2: sixth and final stages flat twenty laps through a circuit

1836
01:38:42,907 --> 01:38:46,667
Speaker 2: of Central Adelaide, meaning the result is very much still

1837
01:38:46,827 --> 01:38:49,547
Speaker 2: up in the air. Let's bring in cycling analyst Del

1838
01:38:49,627 --> 01:38:52,467
Speaker 2: Woodford dal heading into the final stage. As I mentioned,

1839
01:38:52,587 --> 01:38:55,387
Speaker 2: ki we fin Fisher black third, how likely is it

1840
01:38:55,507 --> 01:38:58,027
Speaker 2: that he could make up the twelve seconds and win

1841
01:38:58,107 --> 01:38:58,427
Speaker 2: the tour?

1842
01:38:59,387 --> 01:39:02,987
Speaker 23: Yeah, thanks Jason. It'll be pretty difficult. I think on

1843
01:39:03,147 --> 01:39:06,147
Speaker 23: that circuit, it's a four kilometer circuit, it's super far.

1844
01:39:06,867 --> 01:39:08,827
Speaker 23: Often a little break will go away to try and

1845
01:39:08,947 --> 01:39:11,227
Speaker 23: pick up the you know, this sort of this two

1846
01:39:11,307 --> 01:39:14,507
Speaker 23: intermediate sprints, which will I think they'll have some time

1847
01:39:14,587 --> 01:39:17,707
Speaker 23: bonuses on the might imagine, so unless he can sneak away.

1848
01:39:18,787 --> 01:39:21,347
Speaker 23: But you know, his team has also got Sam Wellsford

1849
01:39:21,387 --> 01:39:23,427
Speaker 23: on at oneer of the two first two stages of

1850
01:39:23,507 --> 01:39:26,547
Speaker 23: the tour. He's an equal first in the points competition,

1851
01:39:26,667 --> 01:39:28,267
Speaker 23: so they'll be a little bit focused to try and

1852
01:39:28,347 --> 01:39:32,667
Speaker 23: get him the points jersey and Holdin's third place. You know,

1853
01:39:32,747 --> 01:39:34,627
Speaker 23: I would say to keep him on the podium. I'll

1854
01:39:34,667 --> 01:39:36,787
Speaker 23: be more interested in, you know, maintaining that podium and

1855
01:39:36,827 --> 01:39:39,907
Speaker 23: get at Welsford into the sprint jersey. But now it's

1856
01:39:39,987 --> 01:39:43,427
Speaker 23: bike racing, a lot can happen, and find has certainly shown,

1857
01:39:43,587 --> 01:39:45,547
Speaker 23: you know, the kick he put up willunger Hill to

1858
01:39:45,627 --> 01:39:48,187
Speaker 23: get up to that third place yesterday and this was

1859
01:39:48,467 --> 01:39:50,867
Speaker 23: something pretty special. So if he's in with a chance,

1860
01:39:50,947 --> 01:39:52,707
Speaker 23: they will certainly have to watch him, you know, in

1861
01:39:52,747 --> 01:39:55,387
Speaker 23: the clothing stages for sure, because he will be trying.

1862
01:39:55,387 --> 01:39:58,227
Speaker 2: I would imagine where is Finn Fisher Black and his

1863
01:39:58,667 --> 01:40:01,307
Speaker 2: in his career arc at the moment, Dell is he

1864
01:40:01,547 --> 01:40:03,267
Speaker 2: you know, give us a bit of an insight to

1865
01:40:03,387 --> 01:40:06,147
Speaker 2: where he is in his pro cycling career right now.

1866
01:40:07,307 --> 01:40:09,667
Speaker 23: Oh, I think he's just ready to step up another level.

1867
01:40:09,707 --> 01:40:12,347
Speaker 23: We saw him take some victories last year and he

1868
01:40:12,467 --> 01:40:14,387
Speaker 23: was in the part of the A E team. With

1869
01:40:14,427 --> 01:40:18,507
Speaker 23: Taddipagarcher moving to the new super team Red Bull, he'll

1870
01:40:18,547 --> 01:40:21,067
Speaker 23: get some more opportunity and it's great they've giving it

1871
01:40:21,147 --> 01:40:23,387
Speaker 23: to him so early in the season, so they're obviously

1872
01:40:23,827 --> 01:40:26,827
Speaker 23: looking for him to target some of the early season races.

1873
01:40:26,947 --> 01:40:29,507
Speaker 23: I haven't looked at his program going forward, Jason, but

1874
01:40:30,507 --> 01:40:34,147
Speaker 23: he's a huge talent. He's ready I think to what

1875
01:40:34,307 --> 01:40:36,147
Speaker 23: he already has taken on some of the best in

1876
01:40:36,227 --> 01:40:38,587
Speaker 23: the world, and I really think we'll see him step

1877
01:40:38,707 --> 01:40:41,987
Speaker 23: up again this season and next season. You know, everything

1878
01:40:42,547 --> 01:40:45,027
Speaker 23: goes his way and you need a little bit of luck.

1879
01:40:45,227 --> 01:40:47,147
Speaker 23: You need to get starts in the right races, be

1880
01:40:47,267 --> 01:40:48,667
Speaker 23: injury free at the right time.

1881
01:40:48,787 --> 01:40:50,707
Speaker 9: But we know what he can do.

1882
01:40:50,787 --> 01:40:53,907
Speaker 23: We've seen it since he was a junior and just

1883
01:40:54,187 --> 01:40:56,667
Speaker 23: just seeing him race this week, the maturity is shown

1884
01:40:56,827 --> 01:40:59,947
Speaker 23: this week to back himself and take on the best

1885
01:40:59,947 --> 01:41:03,507
Speaker 23: appitour down Under. I think as trajectory's heading in the

1886
01:41:03,587 --> 01:41:05,227
Speaker 23: right direction for years.

1887
01:41:05,307 --> 01:41:07,547
Speaker 2: Yet, yeah, that's great to hear. He's not the only

1888
01:41:07,627 --> 01:41:09,747
Speaker 2: key we have course on the two I mentioned Corbyn Strong,

1889
01:41:09,827 --> 01:41:11,987
Speaker 2: but others as well. Who else among the key we

1890
01:41:12,147 --> 01:41:13,587
Speaker 2: riders have impressed you?

1891
01:41:14,747 --> 01:41:15,627
Speaker 9: Yeah, the big isn't it?

1892
01:41:15,627 --> 01:41:15,747
Speaker 11: You know?

1893
01:41:16,027 --> 01:41:18,707
Speaker 23: Writers and a tour if we include Robert Standard wh

1894
01:41:18,747 --> 01:41:21,027
Speaker 23: rides under the Australian flat of course out of Parmas,

1895
01:41:21,067 --> 01:41:23,467
Speaker 23: the Northern Palmers, the North Boys high so we'll always

1896
01:41:23,507 --> 01:41:28,347
Speaker 23: claim him. I think, yeah, it's hard. It's the first

1897
01:41:28,427 --> 01:41:30,707
Speaker 23: race of the year. Who's impress Lawrence Pith. He's done

1898
01:41:30,747 --> 01:41:33,267
Speaker 23: a good job, you know looking after him. Bishop Black

1899
01:41:33,347 --> 01:41:35,787
Speaker 23: and that Red Ball team, particularly yesterday when it split

1900
01:41:35,867 --> 01:41:37,587
Speaker 23: him in the cross ones. There's a little bit of

1901
01:41:37,667 --> 01:41:40,427
Speaker 23: panic and and it just shows how how quickly a

1902
01:41:40,547 --> 01:41:43,107
Speaker 23: race can change. I think he's read really well, as

1903
01:41:43,147 --> 01:41:46,947
Speaker 23: you mentioned Cormyn Strong, you know, I rate Corbyn's probably

1904
01:41:46,987 --> 01:41:48,907
Speaker 23: the best chance to pick up a tour in France.

1905
01:41:48,947 --> 01:41:51,427
Speaker 23: Stage when he's always there or thereabouts and the sprints.

1906
01:41:51,467 --> 01:41:54,787
Speaker 23: He's nuggety on the climbed, very smart bike rider. I've

1907
01:41:54,827 --> 01:41:56,507
Speaker 23: said it many times. He reminds me a lot of

1908
01:41:56,587 --> 01:42:00,267
Speaker 23: Ali Babihi and showing gray for early in the season,

1909
01:42:00,307 --> 01:42:03,147
Speaker 23: as you said with the Metro with a number of

1910
01:42:03,227 --> 01:42:05,867
Speaker 23: places in the top ten already three I think three

1911
01:42:05,907 --> 01:42:08,787
Speaker 23: in the top in this tour, so he'll get better

1912
01:42:08,827 --> 01:42:10,867
Speaker 23: as the season goes on as well, and I think

1913
01:42:10,907 --> 01:42:14,187
Speaker 23: he'll bring us some a big victory. Aaron Gates stepping up,

1914
01:42:14,267 --> 01:42:16,507
Speaker 23: I think Gate will be a good chance this afternoon,

1915
01:42:17,307 --> 01:42:19,347
Speaker 23: riding for a first time in the World Tour with

1916
01:42:19,467 --> 01:42:22,027
Speaker 23: the Astana team. A lot of new writers in that team,

1917
01:42:22,067 --> 01:42:24,267
Speaker 23: so are struggling a little bit to get fully organized.

1918
01:42:24,307 --> 01:42:26,907
Speaker 23: But in this type of race, the experience of Aaron Gage,

1919
01:42:26,947 --> 01:42:28,947
Speaker 23: he doesn't need a big team around him. I think

1920
01:42:28,947 --> 01:42:31,027
Speaker 23: he'll be right in the mix this afternoon, and Hunt

1921
01:42:31,067 --> 01:42:32,587
Speaker 23: trying to go for it for a stage when there

1922
01:42:32,667 --> 01:42:36,227
Speaker 23: certainly a podium. The other writers, Deon Smith with his

1923
01:42:36,347 --> 01:42:40,347
Speaker 23: experienced Campbell Stewart, George Bennett doing a good job for

1924
01:42:40,387 --> 01:42:42,427
Speaker 23: as our premier tech trying to set up then for

1925
01:42:42,507 --> 01:42:45,467
Speaker 23: the GC tried really hard, just didn't go their way.

1926
01:42:45,627 --> 01:42:48,227
Speaker 23: So all our writers are performing really well and to

1927
01:42:48,347 --> 01:42:51,427
Speaker 23: have eight at the opening race of the World Tour

1928
01:42:51,707 --> 01:42:54,147
Speaker 23: on the start line is pretty special for New Zealand.

1929
01:42:54,907 --> 01:42:56,987
Speaker 2: Just back to a funficial black then, with regards to

1930
01:42:57,747 --> 01:42:59,427
Speaker 2: the Tour de France, I know Key we was there

1931
01:42:59,507 --> 01:43:02,987
Speaker 2: last year. Could a podium here help him in a

1932
01:43:03,067 --> 01:43:04,187
Speaker 2: place in the Tour de France.

1933
01:43:05,987 --> 01:43:08,947
Speaker 23: I don't think he'll be in the Tour de France

1934
01:43:09,027 --> 01:43:12,387
Speaker 23: team for UA this year. It's probably a couple of

1935
01:43:12,507 --> 01:43:16,107
Speaker 23: years away. They'll have their eight riders pretty much stamped

1936
01:43:16,147 --> 01:43:18,707
Speaker 23: in for the tour of their program around Teddy Pagarcha.

1937
01:43:19,547 --> 01:43:22,107
Speaker 23: Although you know that it's so early in the year,

1938
01:43:22,347 --> 01:43:25,307
Speaker 23: lots can happen, Riders can get injured, things can crash,

1939
01:43:25,787 --> 01:43:28,667
Speaker 23: you know, lots of things can change. So he would

1940
01:43:28,707 --> 01:43:31,147
Speaker 23: be on the long list. I would say Piney for

1941
01:43:31,587 --> 01:43:33,627
Speaker 23: that if something happened to a ride. He's a great

1942
01:43:33,667 --> 01:43:36,027
Speaker 23: rider to bring any strong time trials. He's got a

1943
01:43:36,067 --> 01:43:38,747
Speaker 23: good finish, but I think they's really want riders that

1944
01:43:38,827 --> 01:43:41,627
Speaker 23: can hang around for Gartcha in the mountains. I think

1945
01:43:41,907 --> 01:43:45,667
Speaker 23: Corbyn Strong may be a more likely start, and possibly

1946
01:43:45,707 --> 01:43:47,787
Speaker 23: George Bennett this year might get another another crack at

1947
01:43:47,827 --> 01:43:48,827
Speaker 23: the Tour to France.

1948
01:43:49,147 --> 01:43:49,547
Speaker 6: I hope.

1949
01:43:49,547 --> 01:43:50,987
Speaker 2: So this is the first real hit out of the

1950
01:43:51,067 --> 01:43:53,627
Speaker 2: year for a lot of these teams and these cyclists.

1951
01:43:53,827 --> 01:43:56,347
Speaker 2: How much of a bearing does this race have when

1952
01:43:56,467 --> 01:43:59,507
Speaker 2: those teams are selecting their cyclists for the Grand Tours.

1953
01:44:00,947 --> 01:44:02,787
Speaker 23: There's a little bit just to see how they might

1954
01:44:02,907 --> 01:44:05,867
Speaker 23: work together. You don't know what the directors might be

1955
01:44:05,907 --> 01:44:08,307
Speaker 23: looking for all you know, like Branco card Rights for COPD.

1956
01:44:08,507 --> 01:44:11,387
Speaker 23: He's certainly going to be one of their key men

1957
01:44:11,467 --> 01:44:14,027
Speaker 23: in the Tour de France for stage wins. There's a

1958
01:44:14,027 --> 01:44:16,867
Speaker 23: few opportunities for sprinters this year, so teams that haven't

1959
01:44:16,947 --> 01:44:19,787
Speaker 23: got anyone that can compete and say the top five

1960
01:44:19,867 --> 01:44:22,267
Speaker 23: for the general classification will be looking at riders in

1961
01:44:22,347 --> 01:44:25,067
Speaker 23: this race to see what opportunities there will be for

1962
01:44:25,187 --> 01:44:28,627
Speaker 23: them in a race like the Tour or the gierd Italia.

1963
01:44:29,867 --> 01:44:31,707
Speaker 23: And a lot of the writers that the teams will

1964
01:44:31,707 --> 01:44:33,947
Speaker 23: also be looking at the form that this part of

1965
01:44:34,027 --> 01:44:35,707
Speaker 23: the season to see what they can build on for

1966
01:44:35,787 --> 01:44:38,347
Speaker 23: the Spring Classics and which riders might beow to slot

1967
01:44:38,427 --> 01:44:41,387
Speaker 23: them today. So even though it's super early in the season,

1968
01:44:41,547 --> 01:44:43,747
Speaker 23: a lot of the riders are still the main writers

1969
01:44:43,747 --> 01:44:47,267
Speaker 23: are still in Europe training and preparing for the younger riders,

1970
01:44:47,307 --> 01:44:50,147
Speaker 23: and the writers come through. It gives the directors a

1971
01:44:50,227 --> 01:44:53,107
Speaker 23: really good understanding of how they might about to gel

1972
01:44:53,187 --> 01:44:55,387
Speaker 23: into a squad or take some opportunities like look at

1973
01:44:55,427 --> 01:44:57,587
Speaker 23: Lawrence Peppy in this race, what he did last year

1974
01:44:57,587 --> 01:45:00,387
Speaker 23: at the Spring Classics. He'll be using this race doing

1975
01:45:00,427 --> 01:45:02,467
Speaker 23: all the work for fun and the other and Sam

1976
01:45:02,507 --> 01:45:05,427
Speaker 23: Wellsted that he's using that to build a big engine

1977
01:45:05,467 --> 01:45:07,827
Speaker 23: to have a crack and they Spring Classics in April.

1978
01:45:08,827 --> 01:45:10,747
Speaker 2: For a while you mentioned George Bennett there before. He's

1979
01:45:10,827 --> 01:45:13,707
Speaker 2: been our one cycling hope I guess to follow and

1980
01:45:13,787 --> 01:45:16,507
Speaker 2: he's done so well. Still riding, of course, but this

1981
01:45:16,707 --> 01:45:19,187
Speaker 2: next generation seems to be coming through. Now we've mentioned

1982
01:45:19,227 --> 01:45:21,427
Speaker 2: Fin Fisher, Black Corbyn Strong, Lawrence Pithy. You've mentioned a

1983
01:45:21,467 --> 01:45:24,467
Speaker 2: couple of times, how are they looking as a collective,

1984
01:45:24,827 --> 01:45:26,787
Speaker 2: you know, to ride us forward?

1985
01:45:26,827 --> 01:45:27,227
Speaker 12: If you like.

1986
01:45:28,827 --> 01:45:31,147
Speaker 23: Well looking right, aren't they really like if you look

1987
01:45:31,187 --> 01:45:33,307
Speaker 23: at it, you know we've also you know, Michael Binki's little,

1988
01:45:33,667 --> 01:45:35,667
Speaker 23: he's a bit older, he's thirty one or thirty two,

1989
01:45:35,747 --> 01:45:37,907
Speaker 23: but he's riding for us. He's another rider that we've

1990
01:45:37,947 --> 01:45:41,427
Speaker 23: got on the World Tour. It's pretty impressive and if

1991
01:45:41,467 --> 01:45:44,347
Speaker 23: we could just get the ways of sports work with points,

1992
01:45:44,427 --> 01:45:45,827
Speaker 23: we don't get a lot of riders on the start

1993
01:45:45,867 --> 01:45:47,587
Speaker 23: line at the World Champs or that. If you look

1994
01:45:47,627 --> 01:45:49,987
Speaker 23: at those all those names you mentioned the experience of

1995
01:45:50,067 --> 01:45:52,347
Speaker 23: Deon Smith in there as well. We've actually got a

1996
01:45:52,387 --> 01:45:54,467
Speaker 23: pretty strong team that could line up as a if

1997
01:45:54,467 --> 01:45:57,187
Speaker 23: we had national teams lining up an event and be

1998
01:45:57,347 --> 01:46:01,147
Speaker 23: really competitive against some of the big powerhouse nations. So yeah,

1999
01:46:01,507 --> 01:46:03,387
Speaker 23: for New Zealand road cycling, a lot of these guys,

2000
01:46:03,387 --> 01:46:06,507
Speaker 23: they haven't come out of that. Gaty hasn't. But you

2001
01:46:06,547 --> 01:46:10,027
Speaker 23: know the other guy in Campbell shervit. You know pretty much,

2002
01:46:10,147 --> 01:46:12,947
Speaker 23: George and the guys are their pathies. They've done it

2003
01:46:13,067 --> 01:46:15,547
Speaker 23: through the road. You know, they've gone there, They've done

2004
01:46:15,587 --> 01:46:18,267
Speaker 23: the hard yards and taken their opportunities on the road

2005
01:46:18,347 --> 01:46:21,507
Speaker 23: to succeed. So what that does that inspires the next

2006
01:46:21,587 --> 01:46:24,547
Speaker 23: generation coming through with seeing, you know, the New Zealand

2007
01:46:24,587 --> 01:46:27,747
Speaker 23: Cycling Project boys racing in the US looking for opportunities

2008
01:46:27,867 --> 01:46:31,867
Speaker 23: in Europe, and because of having so many at that level,

2009
01:46:32,187 --> 01:46:34,587
Speaker 23: it means teams start to think about, now, I wonder

2010
01:46:34,627 --> 01:46:36,987
Speaker 23: what other New Zealanders might be available, so they start

2011
01:46:37,067 --> 01:46:39,827
Speaker 23: to sort of spread the net a little wider. And then,

2012
01:46:39,867 --> 01:46:43,907
Speaker 23: of course with all the swift and online racing and competition,

2013
01:46:44,427 --> 01:46:46,507
Speaker 23: sort of like in an esports side, they keeping an

2014
01:46:46,547 --> 01:46:48,667
Speaker 23: eye on that. You never know who comes out of that,

2015
01:46:48,747 --> 01:46:51,707
Speaker 23: and we've got some really good riders competing internationally in

2016
01:46:51,787 --> 01:46:52,627
Speaker 23: that space as well.

2017
01:46:54,147 --> 01:46:57,027
Speaker 2: Looking globally. The Twitter France always jumps out, doesn't it

2018
01:46:57,067 --> 01:46:59,147
Speaker 2: one hundred and twelfth edition that she is starting on

2019
01:46:59,227 --> 01:47:02,347
Speaker 2: the fifth of July in Leale and finishing up in

2020
01:47:02,387 --> 01:47:07,907
Speaker 2: Paris obviously later in the month. What sort of storylines

2021
01:47:07,947 --> 01:47:09,427
Speaker 2: do you expect to be written in the Tour de

2022
01:47:09,467 --> 01:47:11,707
Speaker 2: France this year? I guess I want'm asking, let's getting

2023
01:47:11,707 --> 01:47:13,067
Speaker 2: anyone beat today.

2024
01:47:12,787 --> 01:47:17,627
Speaker 23: Bergacia Honessinger Guard possibly, But outside of that, it's a

2025
01:47:18,427 --> 01:47:20,387
Speaker 23: it's a race for third place on the podium. If

2026
01:47:20,387 --> 01:47:23,307
Speaker 23: those two going into the race fit healthy and stay

2027
01:47:23,387 --> 01:47:26,067
Speaker 23: crashed free throughout the race. I think it'll be a

2028
01:47:26,107 --> 01:47:28,867
Speaker 23: two horse race, but it's three weeks, twenty one days

2029
01:47:28,867 --> 01:47:31,587
Speaker 23: and a lot can happen. But where we sat right now, Jason,

2030
01:47:31,667 --> 01:47:34,427
Speaker 23: it's super hard to see anybody taking them on. They

2031
01:47:34,587 --> 01:47:37,187
Speaker 23: just seem to be a whole level above it. It's

2032
01:47:37,227 --> 01:47:41,267
Speaker 23: another tour with a lot of climbs. Yeah, I can't

2033
01:47:41,427 --> 01:47:44,387
Speaker 23: see anyone pushing those two riders out.

2034
01:47:44,547 --> 01:47:44,707
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2035
01:47:44,707 --> 01:47:47,827
Speaker 23: We saw Evinger Guard pushing Taddy Pagacha last year coming

2036
01:47:47,827 --> 01:47:50,547
Speaker 23: off a horrendous injury. So you know, both of those

2037
01:47:50,667 --> 01:47:53,947
Speaker 23: going into the tour the peak form. I think we'll

2038
01:47:53,987 --> 01:47:56,747
Speaker 23: see some battle royals and the mountains throw rink over

2039
01:47:56,787 --> 01:47:58,667
Speaker 23: and a poll in there as well, But I think

2040
01:47:58,707 --> 01:48:00,627
Speaker 23: they're all sort of trying to hang on and get

2041
01:48:00,667 --> 01:48:03,547
Speaker 23: as close as they can, limit their losses and concentrate

2042
01:48:03,627 --> 01:48:04,787
Speaker 23: on the battle for the podium.

2043
01:48:05,907 --> 01:48:09,187
Speaker 2: Good Mandal, always enjoy chatting cycling with you. We'll keep

2044
01:48:09,187 --> 01:48:11,347
Speaker 2: an eye out for fin Fisher Black this afternoon. Hopefully

2045
01:48:11,387 --> 01:48:13,027
Speaker 2: he can finish on the podium. Thanks as always for

2046
01:48:13,147 --> 01:48:13,987
Speaker 2: taking the time for a chat.

2047
01:48:14,907 --> 01:48:17,427
Speaker 23: Pleasure Jason in your time, Thank you all the best, mate.

2048
01:48:17,467 --> 01:48:20,307
Speaker 2: Dell would for there our cycling analyst a fairly familiar

2049
01:48:20,387 --> 01:48:23,547
Speaker 2: voice to cycling fans and yeat. Fin Fisher Black is

2050
01:48:23,747 --> 01:48:27,187
Speaker 2: in third place, twelve seconds behind the leader, Ecuador's Jonathan

2051
01:48:27,267 --> 01:48:30,227
Speaker 2: Navez as they head into the final stage of Cycling's

2052
01:48:30,227 --> 01:48:32,627
Speaker 2: Tour down Under in Adelaide. Sixth and final stage is

2053
01:48:32,667 --> 01:48:36,187
Speaker 2: flat twenty laps through a circuit of Central Adelaide, so

2054
01:48:36,307 --> 01:48:38,627
Speaker 2: twelve seconds, as you heard Dell says, is a little

2055
01:48:38,627 --> 01:48:40,907
Speaker 2: bit difficult to make up in a stage like that,

2056
01:48:41,187 --> 01:48:44,187
Speaker 2: but anything can happen and finish on the podium would

2057
01:48:44,187 --> 01:48:45,947
Speaker 2: be a great way to start the year for fin

2058
01:48:46,027 --> 01:48:50,427
Speaker 2: Fisher Black out of Nelson. Pretty impressive cycling family, with

2059

Speaker 2: a cycling sense. Twenty five to three. It's not going

2061
01:48:58,267 --> 01:49:03,667
Speaker 2: very very well for the Central Hinds in their chase

2062
01:49:03,707 --> 01:49:05,627
Speaker 2: for one hundred and thirty six to beat Canterbury down

2063
01:49:05,627 --> 01:49:10,387
Speaker 2: in Christ nineteen for three after five overs. So Canterbury,

2064

01:50:34,947 --> 01:50:38,107

2091
01:50:38,227 --> 01:50:40,987
Speaker 2: night logan talk us through your equalizer. We just heard

2092
01:50:41,027 --> 01:50:44,227
Speaker 2: it there. Francis Devreese lines up the corner, so maybe

2093
01:50:44,267 --> 01:50:45,387
Speaker 2: you pick it up for us from there.

2094
01:50:46,787 --> 01:50:51,067
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously Quie light on in the game, you know,

2095
01:50:51,307 --> 01:50:55,347
Speaker 7: one last set piece and Francis with you know, dead

2096
01:50:55,387 --> 01:50:57,987
Speaker 7: ball situation. It's probably one of the best in the league.

2097
01:50:58,067 --> 01:51:00,587
Speaker 7: So you know, I thought we're you know, I thought

2098
01:51:00,587 --> 01:51:03,747
Speaker 7: we had a real good chance to score here. Uh

2099
01:51:04,227 --> 01:51:06,507
Speaker 7: and yeah, my my kind of role in the want

2100
01:51:06,547 --> 01:51:09,227
Speaker 7: to find to block the goalkeeper and the ball kind

2101
01:51:09,267 --> 01:51:12,027
Speaker 7: of came in so quick, and you know I was

2102
01:51:12,147 --> 01:51:13,707
Speaker 7: free at the air post and managed to get my

2103
01:51:13,747 --> 01:51:16,227
Speaker 7: head on it. So now it was it was a

2104
01:51:16,227 --> 01:51:19,987
Speaker 7: good ball from Franny and yeah, you know, real real

2105
01:51:20,067 --> 01:51:22,707
Speaker 7: please to score quite quite late in the game after

2106
01:51:22,907 --> 01:51:24,667
Speaker 7: pretty arm wrestle of a game.

2107
01:51:24,947 --> 01:51:26,627
Speaker 2: Arm rustle is a good word for it, man, A

2108
01:51:26,707 --> 01:51:29,307
Speaker 2: real roller coaster, particularly near the end when you're one

2109
01:51:29,387 --> 01:51:31,947
Speaker 2: that'll up then too one down. Did you feel as

2110
01:51:31,987 --> 01:51:33,907
Speaker 2: though you were worth a point in Adelaide?

2111
01:51:35,227 --> 01:51:39,387
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we didn't deserve to lose. I think

2112
01:51:39,507 --> 01:51:41,587
Speaker 7: the team worked real hard and you know, we put

2113
01:51:41,627 --> 01:51:44,067
Speaker 7: in a solid performance and I think, you know, we're

2114
01:51:44,067 --> 01:51:46,347
Speaker 7: a little bit unlucky maybe with the with the first

2115
01:51:46,427 --> 01:51:50,667
Speaker 7: goal and that we conceded, and yeah, I think a

2116
01:51:50,747 --> 01:51:54,547
Speaker 7: result is it was fair and it's just the way

2117
01:51:54,587 --> 01:51:56,867
Speaker 7: we equalizing the end and you know we can carry

2118
01:51:56,867 --> 01:51:59,827
Speaker 7: on that momentum into our next game.

2119
01:52:00,387 --> 01:52:02,547
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a trademark of Auckland FC. Eight

2120
01:52:02,667 --> 01:52:05,867
Speaker 2: goals after the eighty minute mark this season to win

2121
01:52:05,947 --> 01:52:08,787
Speaker 2: matches draw them. What can we take from that in

2122
01:52:08,907 --> 01:52:12,547
Speaker 2: terms of the team's ability to take games right to

2123
01:52:12,627 --> 01:52:13,987
Speaker 2: the line and pick out points.

2124
01:52:15,467 --> 01:52:17,907
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it just kind of shows the mentality

2125
01:52:17,947 --> 01:52:21,667
Speaker 7: of the team. You know, we have great depth, I

2126
01:52:21,707 --> 01:52:25,067
Speaker 7: guess in our squad and you know, whenever our substitutes

2127
01:52:25,107 --> 01:52:28,187
Speaker 7: have come on, they've made a good difference. And you know,

2128
01:52:28,307 --> 01:52:30,587
Speaker 7: even the guys that start, you know, as they work

2129
01:52:30,667 --> 01:52:33,427
Speaker 7: hard and we grind out, you know, for the first hour,

2130
01:52:33,507 --> 01:52:36,547
Speaker 7: then the substitutes bring the energy and you know have

2131
01:52:36,667 --> 01:52:38,787
Speaker 7: come on and done real well. So yeah, I think

2132
01:52:39,547 --> 01:52:41,347
Speaker 7: it's got a lot to do with the mentality of

2133
01:52:41,387 --> 01:52:44,387
Speaker 7: the boys kind of never giving up. And I think

2134
01:52:44,467 --> 01:52:46,507
Speaker 7: our squad depth as well, these guys coming off the

2135
01:52:46,987 --> 01:52:48,747
Speaker 7: bench and you know, I've had to do it as

2136
01:52:48,787 --> 01:52:51,267
Speaker 7: well this season, and I think it makes It makes

2137
01:52:51,307 --> 01:52:51,947
Speaker 7: a big difference.

2138
01:52:52,387 --> 01:52:54,667
Speaker 2: I don't remember you scoring with your head too often either.

2139
01:52:54,707 --> 01:52:57,067
Speaker 2: I think your first A League goal for the Phoenix

2140
01:52:57,187 --> 01:52:59,107
Speaker 2: was a heater. But is it a bit of a

2141
01:52:59,227 --> 01:53:00,867
Speaker 2: rarity for you to score with the head or not?

2142
01:53:01,987 --> 01:53:04,387
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. Like, like I was saying with all,

2143
01:53:04,507 --> 01:53:07,147
Speaker 7: my role in the corner is the kind of just

2144
01:53:07,187 --> 01:53:09,947
Speaker 7: block the goalkeeper and stand in the way and let

2145
01:53:10,147 --> 01:53:14,867
Speaker 7: you know, the big guys do the heading. But you know, so, yeah,

2146
01:53:15,267 --> 01:53:16,827
Speaker 7: I'm happy. I hope you just score with my head

2147
01:53:16,907 --> 01:53:20,107
Speaker 7: and yeah, you're probably right, I don't score a few

2148
01:53:20,147 --> 01:53:20,547
Speaker 7: too many.

2149
01:53:21,347 --> 01:53:24,707
Speaker 2: Slightly yeah, slightly different attacking set up in the last

2150
01:53:24,747 --> 01:53:27,867
Speaker 2: two games as well, with both Gigimo Mai and Max

2151
01:53:27,987 --> 01:53:30,867
Speaker 2: Marta starting so kind of more like I guess twin

2152
01:53:31,027 --> 01:53:33,947
Speaker 2: number nine. How does that change your role in an

2153
01:53:33,987 --> 01:53:35,027
Speaker 2: attacking sense.

2154
01:53:36,427 --> 01:53:38,507
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, it kind of gives us

2155
01:53:38,507 --> 01:53:41,587
Speaker 7: an extra option obviously, me when I'm playing out wide,

2156
01:53:41,627 --> 01:53:44,867
Speaker 7: it gives me another another target to kind of aim for.

2157
01:53:46,427 --> 01:53:48,787
Speaker 7: Max is very good in the air, and you know,

2158
01:53:48,907 --> 01:53:52,347
Speaker 7: he causes a lot of problems and even in terms

2159
01:53:52,347 --> 01:53:55,107
Speaker 7: of build up, I think we can, you know, when

2160
01:53:55,147 --> 01:53:58,107
Speaker 7: we do go a little bit longer to strike because

2161
01:53:58,147 --> 01:54:00,787
Speaker 7: to work with each other is a lot easier than one.

2162
01:54:00,947 --> 01:54:03,347
Speaker 7: So I think it's been I think it's been working

2163
01:54:03,427 --> 01:54:04,547
Speaker 7: well for us recently.

2164
01:54:04,707 --> 01:54:08,187
Speaker 2: So you're also the best defensive side in the competition,

2165
01:54:08,467 --> 01:54:12,147
Speaker 2: just eleven goals conceded. I know, you look at a

2166
01:54:12,187 --> 01:54:13,867
Speaker 2: defense and you say, well, your keeper must be good

2167
01:54:13,907 --> 01:54:15,427
Speaker 2: and your back four must be good, and those things

2168
01:54:15,467 --> 01:54:18,267
Speaker 2: are true. But what role do you and the other

2169
01:54:18,387 --> 01:54:21,827
Speaker 2: attacking players play in the sides defensive performance?

2170
01:54:24,067 --> 01:54:28,387
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, Steve and Danny, you know,

2171
01:54:28,507 --> 01:54:32,467
Speaker 7: from the beginning of the season, we're you know, made

2172
01:54:32,507 --> 01:54:35,267
Speaker 7: sure us attackers, you know, played our role defensively, and

2173
01:54:35,747 --> 01:54:38,227
Speaker 7: you know, I think as attackers we work really hard

2174
01:54:38,307 --> 01:54:41,427
Speaker 7: on the defensive side as well, pressing and kind of

2175
01:54:41,507 --> 01:54:43,827
Speaker 7: getting back and you know, kind of making it half

2176
01:54:43,867 --> 01:54:47,347
Speaker 7: the teams to break down. And I think, you know,

2177
01:54:47,467 --> 01:54:49,987
Speaker 7: that's probably why we score when we have scored quite

2178
01:54:50,067 --> 01:54:52,587
Speaker 7: late in the games. It's probably because, you know, attacking

2179
01:54:52,627 --> 01:54:56,107
Speaker 7: players and the whole unit have been kind of working

2180
01:54:56,187 --> 01:54:59,107
Speaker 7: hard for kind of the first sixty minutes defending, and

2181
01:54:59,427 --> 01:55:02,507
Speaker 7: you know, then the game kind of opens up. So yeah,

2182
01:55:02,507 --> 01:55:05,267
Speaker 7: I think, you know, as attackers, and especially in this team,

2183
01:55:05,427 --> 01:55:09,787
Speaker 7: we have to work hard defenses, there's bow and you know,

2184
01:55:09,827 --> 01:55:12,667
Speaker 7: I think it's probably why, you know, we've been quite

2185
01:55:12,707 --> 01:55:14,347
Speaker 7: hard to score against, and.

2186
01:55:14,387 --> 01:55:17,027
Speaker 2: You've played ninety minutes in the last two games in

2187
01:55:17,107 --> 01:55:19,347
Speaker 2: pretty close proximity to one another in terms of the

2188
01:55:19,467 --> 01:55:22,347
Speaker 2: days in between them. I don't think you've done that previously.

2189
01:55:22,427 --> 01:55:25,347
Speaker 2: All season had ninety minutes. Is that something you've worked on,

2190
01:55:25,467 --> 01:55:27,627
Speaker 2: not just being say a sixty minute player or or

2191
01:55:27,707 --> 01:55:29,827
Speaker 2: someone who provides an impact off the bench.

2192
01:55:31,387 --> 01:55:33,067
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, as a football player, you

2193
01:55:33,107 --> 01:55:36,267
Speaker 7: always want to want to play ninety minutes. And yeah,

2194
01:55:36,267 --> 01:55:37,827
Speaker 7: I think for the first bit of the season, you know,

2195
01:55:37,987 --> 01:55:40,747
Speaker 7: kind of the sixty minutes mark, and you know, when

2196
01:55:40,747 --> 01:55:42,267
Speaker 7: the board goes up, I kind of look over and

2197
01:55:42,387 --> 01:55:44,987
Speaker 7: see my number, and you know, obviously a little bit disappointed.

2198
01:55:45,827 --> 01:55:49,227
Speaker 7: But I think the last couple of weeks, you know,

2199
01:55:49,267 --> 01:55:52,867
Speaker 7: I think my fitness as well, I've gone a little

2200
01:55:52,867 --> 01:55:55,467
Speaker 7: bit better and being able to, you know, maintain the

2201
01:55:55,627 --> 01:55:58,507
Speaker 7: kind of level that's needed for ninety minutes were maybe

2202
01:55:58,507 --> 01:56:01,307
Speaker 7: in the first our first kind of called off the season,

2203
01:56:01,387 --> 01:56:04,667
Speaker 7: first half of the season, you know, maybe my fitness

2204
01:56:05,427 --> 01:56:07,507
Speaker 7: was kind of dropping off towards the end, and so

2205
01:56:08,667 --> 01:56:10,507
Speaker 7: so yeah, I think, you know, I've been happy recently

2206
01:56:10,667 --> 01:56:12,627
Speaker 7: to have been able to play you know, two ninety minutes.

2207
01:56:12,667 --> 01:56:14,627
Speaker 7: And obviously when you play ninety minutes, it kind of

2208
01:56:14,627 --> 01:56:17,667
Speaker 7: gives you more opportunities towards the end, like the last game,

2209
01:56:17,747 --> 01:56:20,147
Speaker 7: to get your head on something or you know, to

2210
01:56:20,907 --> 01:56:21,507
Speaker 7: score goals.

2211
01:56:21,827 --> 01:56:24,267
Speaker 2: But another game has come around pretty quickly. So third

2212
01:56:24,347 --> 01:56:27,507
Speaker 2: game in nine days plus some trans Tasman travel in

2213
01:56:27,547 --> 01:56:29,947
Speaker 2: there as well. Does that bosi huge? You'll start to

2214
01:56:29,947 --> 01:56:31,787
Speaker 2: take a bit of a toll, not necessarily just on you,

2215
01:56:31,907 --> 01:56:33,627
Speaker 2: but on the entire playing group.

2216
01:56:35,267 --> 01:56:38,787
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. Like I said before, we've got

2217
01:56:38,907 --> 01:56:42,067
Speaker 7: great squad depths. I think, you know, we're in every position,

2218
01:56:42,187 --> 01:56:44,187
Speaker 7: we've got you know, two or three players that are

2219
01:56:44,627 --> 01:56:49,107
Speaker 7: very capable of starting. So yeah, who knows, you know,

2220
01:56:49,187 --> 01:56:50,787
Speaker 7: what the sailing is going to be, but you know,

2221
01:56:51,067 --> 01:56:54,587
Speaker 7: we've kind of no excuses really. You know, every team

2222
01:56:54,667 --> 01:56:58,067
Speaker 7: has to travel. A lot of teams are playing games

2223
01:56:58,187 --> 01:57:01,627
Speaker 7: close together at this moment of time, so yeah, obviously

2224
01:57:01,907 --> 01:57:04,987
Speaker 7: it does have an effect, but you know, every tes

2225
01:57:04,987 --> 01:57:07,227
Speaker 7: it's the same for every team really a bit.

2226
01:57:07,187 --> 01:57:08,587
Speaker 2: Of a quirk of the draw. There's a couple of

2227
01:57:08,627 --> 01:57:11,027
Speaker 2: teams you've already played twice. You haven't played Western Sydney

2228
01:57:11,147 --> 01:57:13,467
Speaker 2: yet until obviously tonight. They're having a bit of an

2229
01:57:13,507 --> 01:57:16,547
Speaker 2: up and down season five wins, five losses, three draws,

2230
01:57:16,587 --> 01:57:19,507
Speaker 2: but always tough at home. How do you assess the

2231
01:57:19,587 --> 01:57:21,027
Speaker 2: threat that they'll post to you tonight?

2232
01:57:22,787 --> 01:57:27,307
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think they have real exciting taking players. Yeah,

2233
01:57:27,507 --> 01:57:29,947
Speaker 7: obviously playing away at Western Sydney, they probably have, you know,

2234
01:57:30,027 --> 01:57:33,347
Speaker 7: one of the probably the best best active support in

2235
01:57:33,467 --> 01:57:33,907
Speaker 7: the league.

2236
01:57:33,987 --> 01:57:35,147
Speaker 3: And you know, like.

2237
01:57:36,707 --> 01:57:38,947
Speaker 7: Every game in the A League is tough. You know,

2238
01:57:39,027 --> 01:57:41,707
Speaker 7: we found that out against Person when we played there,

2239
01:57:41,827 --> 01:57:45,147
Speaker 7: and so yeah, I think we're you know, we'll tackle

2240
01:57:45,227 --> 01:57:48,347
Speaker 7: the game like we tackle any other and yeah, every

2241
01:57:48,627 --> 01:57:51,947
Speaker 7: A League opposition has the you know, has the obstacles,

2242
01:57:51,987 --> 01:57:54,467
Speaker 7: and yeah, it's going to be a tough game for sure,

2243
01:57:54,547 --> 01:57:57,987
Speaker 7: especially you know there's three games and close proximity.

2244
01:57:58,147 --> 01:58:00,387
Speaker 2: And just to finish. I know you're focused fully on

2245
01:58:00,467 --> 01:58:02,907
Speaker 2: the A League, but you've been involved in the last

2246
01:58:02,987 --> 01:58:05,307
Speaker 2: three international windows for New Zealand. You've played five of

2247
01:58:05,307 --> 01:58:07,507
Speaker 2: the last six or white game games. How can are

2248
01:58:07,547 --> 01:58:10,027
Speaker 2: you to be involved in March in the final push

2249
01:58:10,067 --> 01:58:10,667
Speaker 2: for the World Cup.

2250
01:58:11,987 --> 01:58:15,747
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, obviously, you know I'm thinking about ALA games,

2251
01:58:15,787 --> 01:58:18,987
Speaker 7: but you're always thinking about international duties and you know,

2252
01:58:19,187 --> 01:58:21,427
Speaker 7: March is definitely something that you know, I'm trying to

2253
01:58:21,467 --> 01:58:24,187
Speaker 7: push towards. And you know, the All White squad is

2254
01:58:24,227 --> 01:58:28,027
Speaker 7: so competitive now and we have such talented attacking players.

2255
01:58:28,107 --> 01:58:31,427
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think I've got I need to focus

2256
01:58:31,507 --> 01:58:34,587
Speaker 7: on playing week and week out for my club to

2257
01:58:34,627 --> 01:58:37,027
Speaker 7: give me, you know, the best opportunity to stick my

2258
01:58:37,107 --> 01:58:38,547
Speaker 7: hand up for the national team.

2259
01:58:38,707 --> 01:58:40,587
Speaker 2: Well, you're doing a pretty good job at the moment, Logan.

2260
01:58:40,867 --> 01:58:44,427
Speaker 2: Congrat on what's happened so far. You've probably heard the

2261
01:58:44,547 --> 01:58:47,067
Speaker 2: cheers for the equalizer on your side of the Tasman

2262
01:58:47,107 --> 01:58:49,507
Speaker 2: the other night. From all the Auckland f C fans

2263
01:58:49,547 --> 01:58:51,347
Speaker 2: over here, all the best to night against Western Sydney

2264
01:58:51,387 --> 01:58:52,827
Speaker 2: mat and thanks for taking the time for a chat.

2265
01:58:53,307 --> 01:58:55,027
Speaker 7: Thanks finally, all good, all the.

2266
01:58:55,027 --> 01:58:57,547
Speaker 2: Best teammate, Logan Rogerson. There out of Auckland FC. Seven

2267
01:58:57,547 --> 01:58:59,667
Speaker 2: o'clock to night they take on the Western Sydney Wanderers.

2268
01:58:59,707 --> 01:59:02,467
Speaker 2: At the same time, football fans are going to have

2269
01:59:02,507 --> 01:59:05,827
Speaker 2: divided focus, so the Wellington Phoenix women are action seven

2270
01:59:05,827 --> 01:59:09,227
Speaker 2: o'clock to away at the Central Coast Mariners. They too

2271
01:59:09,787 --> 01:59:12,827
Speaker 2: scored a last minute goal last time out, that's in

2272
01:59:12,947 --> 01:59:13,667
Speaker 2: the back of the night.

2273
01:59:13,827 --> 01:59:14,907
Speaker 4: The goalkeeper's gone.

2274
01:59:15,707 --> 01:59:17,187
Speaker 2: Grace Jarlie lives at.

2275
01:59:17,107 --> 01:59:20,147
Speaker 18: The extras, but it's Niah Elliott who scores direct from

2276
01:59:20,187 --> 01:59:23,187
Speaker 18: the corner. Saw the goalkeeper coming a long way early

2277
01:59:23,307 --> 01:59:27,947
Speaker 18: on right on the board looks as though it's deceived, an.

2278
01:59:26,987 --> 01:59:30,147
Speaker 2: Added time goal, earning Wellington Phoenix a three to two

2279
01:59:30,307 --> 01:59:33,307
Speaker 2: win over Newcastle last weekend. That's moved them up into

2280
01:59:33,507 --> 01:59:37,147
Speaker 2: fifth spot. I spoke this week to Phoenix defender Tiana

2281
01:59:37,267 --> 01:59:39,227
Speaker 2: Jaber and asked how the feeling is in the squad

2282
01:59:39,267 --> 01:59:42,027
Speaker 2: after their recent good run that was their fourth straight

2283
01:59:42,147 --> 01:59:43,107
Speaker 2: win at home.

2284
01:59:43,827 --> 01:59:46,307
Speaker 24: It's really good. We're like so proud of ourselves and

2285
01:59:46,467 --> 01:59:48,627
Speaker 24: like really happy with like well, our tactic for our training,

2286
01:59:48,747 --> 01:59:51,587
Speaker 24: all up, gameplay, energy belief is going really really well.

2287
01:59:52,467 --> 01:59:55,507
Speaker 24: But there's still things folks on, still a lot of

2288
01:59:55,547 --> 01:59:57,187
Speaker 24: hard work ahead of us, so we're just still keeping

2289
01:59:57,267 --> 01:59:58,827
Speaker 24: focused and keeping everyone accountable.

2290
01:59:59,227 --> 02:00:00,747
Speaker 2: When you talk about the stuff to work on in

2291
02:00:00,827 --> 02:00:03,787
Speaker 2: a defensive sense, is there anything specific that you would

2292
02:00:03,907 --> 02:00:06,827
Speaker 2: like as a defensive unit to be doing better well?

2293
02:00:06,867 --> 02:00:09,467
Speaker 24: Obviously more clean sheets are like a goal for sure,

2294
02:00:10,027 --> 02:00:13,867
Speaker 24: so doing what we can to keep it clean. But

2295
02:00:13,947 --> 02:00:16,947
Speaker 24: I don't know really, I'm not going to give out our.

2296
02:00:16,907 --> 02:00:20,507
Speaker 2: Secrets fair enough. I don't think it's any secret that

2297
02:00:20,547 --> 02:00:22,387
Speaker 2: part of your game is the physicality that you bring.

2298
02:00:22,547 --> 02:00:24,267
Speaker 2: Is that something that's always been part of your game?

2299
02:00:24,587 --> 02:00:24,787
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2300
02:00:24,827 --> 02:00:27,707
Speaker 24: Always, Like ever since like I was first starting football,

2301
02:00:27,787 --> 02:00:30,467
Speaker 24: like playing with the boys, you know, so that and

2302
02:00:30,627 --> 02:00:33,547
Speaker 24: my dad and my brother like playing footy. They've always

2303
02:00:33,587 --> 02:00:35,747
Speaker 24: like encouraged me to be like that. Sometimes it's a

2304
02:00:35,787 --> 02:00:38,547
Speaker 24: bit too much, so you know, like part of growth,

2305
02:00:38,747 --> 02:00:40,587
Speaker 24: like controlling it and making sure I'm doing it at

2306
02:00:40,587 --> 02:00:42,267
Speaker 24: the right moments. But it's always been part of my

2307
02:00:42,347 --> 02:00:45,787
Speaker 24: game always, like passionate. It's probably like in my blood too,

2308
02:00:46,067 --> 02:00:48,467
Speaker 24: like my heritage and stuff. We're just feisty, so I

2309
02:00:48,547 --> 02:00:49,027
Speaker 24: love a fight.

2310
02:00:49,707 --> 02:00:54,027
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great, only on the football field, hopefully. How

2311
02:00:54,187 --> 02:00:55,587
Speaker 2: helpful has it been to to be part of a

2312
02:00:55,627 --> 02:00:59,067
Speaker 2: fairly consistent defensive unit, I mean pretty much the same

2313
02:00:59,067 --> 02:01:00,027
Speaker 2: player as wee can week out.

2314
02:01:00,347 --> 02:01:03,107
Speaker 24: Yeah, No, it feels really good because like consistency I

2315
02:01:03,147 --> 02:01:05,627
Speaker 24: think is key, especially for center backs, like playing next

2316
02:01:05,667 --> 02:01:09,027
Speaker 24: to Mac and even like playing with like liv and

2317
02:01:09,187 --> 02:01:11,787
Speaker 24: Lara on the left all the time, like getting into

2318
02:01:11,787 --> 02:01:13,947
Speaker 24: each other's flow and knowing exactly what we want to

2319
02:01:13,987 --> 02:01:15,907
Speaker 24: do when at the right moment. We have to be

2320
02:01:15,987 --> 02:01:18,387
Speaker 24: on the same page always, So it's really good. I'm

2321
02:01:18,427 --> 02:01:19,907
Speaker 24: really happy and like prior to be playing next to

2322
02:01:19,947 --> 02:01:21,587
Speaker 24: these girls, like we're doing so well, so I'm really

2323
02:01:22,347 --> 02:01:24,267
Speaker 24: proud of them, and like, yeah, there's a lot of

2324
02:01:24,307 --> 02:01:26,347
Speaker 24: work to do and I'm really excited for like the

2325
02:01:26,507 --> 02:01:27,027
Speaker 24: games ahead.

2326
02:01:27,307 --> 02:01:29,387
Speaker 2: And what about Carolina behind you? What kind of goalkeeper

2327
02:01:29,507 --> 02:01:29,627
Speaker 2: is she?

2328
02:01:30,467 --> 02:01:30,907
Speaker 8: She's good.

2329
02:01:31,027 --> 02:01:32,267
Speaker 24: She's like a bit of a brick wall.

2330
02:01:32,307 --> 02:01:32,747
Speaker 7: She's allowed.

2331
02:01:33,107 --> 02:01:35,947
Speaker 24: We know exactly what she wants to do when Yeah,

2332
02:01:36,067 --> 02:01:38,627
Speaker 24: she's a funny girl too, so she's really good for

2333
02:01:38,707 --> 02:01:38,987
Speaker 24: the team.

2334
02:01:39,267 --> 02:01:39,987
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely.

2335
02:01:40,707 --> 02:01:43,067
Speaker 2: And consistency has been great at home. It's you know,

2336
02:01:43,187 --> 02:01:45,947
Speaker 2: it hasn't been terrible away. But is there is there

2337
02:01:46,027 --> 02:01:50,587
Speaker 2: a growing strategy for forgetting points on the road. It

2338
02:01:50,587 --> 02:01:52,867
Speaker 2: didn't happen as much last year as you probably would

2339
02:01:52,907 --> 02:01:54,947
Speaker 2: have hoped. Is there anything that's changed to try and

2340
02:01:55,027 --> 02:01:56,547
Speaker 2: get more points on the road.

2341
02:01:57,787 --> 02:02:00,267
Speaker 24: Maybe just making sure like the heat and like the

2342
02:02:00,587 --> 02:02:02,547
Speaker 24: pitch that we're playing at isn't like a surprise, like

2343
02:02:02,587 --> 02:02:05,547
Speaker 24: making sure we're prepared for that, Like we really use

2344
02:02:05,667 --> 02:02:09,067
Speaker 24: every part of the Potator Park atmosphere to our advantage.

2345
02:02:09,827 --> 02:02:12,067
Speaker 24: So I think it's like making sure and nothing throws

2346
02:02:12,147 --> 02:02:15,427
Speaker 24: us off our game, making sure we're all just getting there.

2347
02:02:15,427 --> 02:02:16,987
Speaker 24: It's just a game, but we have to make sure

2348
02:02:17,027 --> 02:02:18,867
Speaker 24: we're all like gunning for the win no matter what

2349
02:02:18,987 --> 02:02:22,427
Speaker 24: the pitch is, like, no matter who's in the stands. Yeah,

2350
02:02:22,707 --> 02:02:24,387
Speaker 24: like we just got to stay focused.

2351
02:02:24,427 --> 02:02:27,827
Speaker 2: Really, it was the Adelaide game. Wasn't a terrible pitch

2352
02:02:27,907 --> 02:02:28,467
Speaker 2: in a hot day?

2353
02:02:28,547 --> 02:02:29,107
Speaker 4: What was that like?

2354
02:02:29,547 --> 02:02:32,827
Speaker 24: Um, it was really rough to be honest. Yeah, that

2355
02:02:32,867 --> 02:02:34,547
Speaker 24: was a hard one mentally as well, like just to

2356
02:02:34,627 --> 02:02:37,347
Speaker 24: keep pushing. But like I think anyone would agree, like

2357
02:02:37,627 --> 02:02:41,147
Speaker 24: from the first minute till the last, like we were

2358
02:02:41,187 --> 02:02:43,627
Speaker 24: still trying to play, And I think we definitely put

2359
02:02:43,667 --> 02:02:46,787
Speaker 24: Adelaide under pressure on the last thirty minutes for sure,

2360
02:02:46,907 --> 02:02:48,827
Speaker 24: Like I think they felt it we were coming. And

2361
02:02:49,507 --> 02:02:51,507
Speaker 24: that's I think what we do really really well. So

2362
02:02:51,547 --> 02:02:53,347
Speaker 24: I think all teams need to be afraid of that.

2363
02:02:54,107 --> 02:02:57,267
Speaker 2: And Mania Eliot scores in the ninety ninth minute direct

2364
02:02:57,267 --> 02:02:58,627
Speaker 2: from a corner the other day to get your three

2365
02:02:58,667 --> 02:03:00,547
Speaker 2: points against Newcast, So what are the emotions like when

2366
02:03:00,547 --> 02:03:01,267
Speaker 2: that bull hits on it?

2367
02:03:01,587 --> 02:03:04,107
Speaker 24: I honestly wanted to do like cartwheels, like I was

2368
02:03:04,227 --> 02:03:05,147
Speaker 24: jumping for joy.

2369
02:03:05,747 --> 02:03:06,747
Speaker 7: I'm so proud of her.

2370
02:03:06,787 --> 02:03:09,467
Speaker 24: It was amazing, honestly, and like just to get that

2371
02:03:09,547 --> 02:03:11,387
Speaker 24: win for the crowd and to set that record, like

2372
02:03:11,947 --> 02:03:13,987
Speaker 24: my heart, like we're just so happy and so proud,

2373
02:03:14,107 --> 02:03:16,947
Speaker 24: and I'm like, yeah, it was amazing, honestly amazing.

2374
02:03:17,827 --> 02:03:19,187
Speaker 2: And do you look at the table?

2375
02:03:19,267 --> 02:03:20,147
Speaker 9: I mean, do you do you?

2376
02:03:20,467 --> 02:03:20,627
Speaker 20: Yeah?

2377
02:03:20,667 --> 02:03:22,467
Speaker 2: Do you like zayigo if we get three points here

2378
02:03:22,467 --> 02:03:23,027
Speaker 2: we're here in here.

2379
02:03:23,267 --> 02:03:23,467
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2380
02:03:23,547 --> 02:03:26,107
Speaker 24: No, definitely. Every time we win a game, we look

2381
02:03:26,147 --> 02:03:28,267
Speaker 24: at the table and we're like, bloody hell, like there's

2382
02:03:28,267 --> 02:03:31,067
Speaker 24: still so much work to do. The Like the table's

2383
02:03:31,067 --> 02:03:34,587
Speaker 24: are really tight, so there's no room for slipping up,

2384
02:03:34,667 --> 02:03:36,387
Speaker 24: no room for dozing off. To be honest, there's so

2385
02:03:36,467 --> 02:03:38,387
Speaker 24: much work to do each week. So we get the

2386
02:03:38,467 --> 02:03:40,667
Speaker 24: points and we keep moving ahead, keep building that momentum.

2387
02:03:40,747 --> 02:03:42,667
Speaker 24: But the next time that comes up, we've got to like,

2388
