Speaker 2: got the opening ceremony out of the way. How much

73
00:04:44,707 --> 00:04:48,747
Speaker 2: of a successful Olympics is about actually getting to the

74
00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:49,507
Speaker 2: start line.

75
00:04:50,147 --> 00:04:52,827

00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:56,387
Speaker 4: for inviting me on the show. You know, it's getting

77
00:04:56,427 --> 00:04:59,307
Speaker 4: the start line's pretty important clearly, and in the B

78
00:04:59,427 --> 00:05:02,947
Speaker 4: shape possible ultimately is what we're trying to achieve.

79
00:05:03,987 --> 00:05:06,467
Speaker 2: So tell us about the shape that you arrive and

80
00:05:06,547 --> 00:05:08,947
Speaker 2: are you happy with where you are as as the

81
00:05:09,027 --> 00:05:10,827
Speaker 2: Games proper are about to begin?

82
00:05:12,387 --> 00:05:13,067
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so.

83
00:05:13,707 --> 00:05:17,907
Speaker 4: You know, everybody's very excited, you know, clearly, you know,

84
00:05:18,027 --> 00:05:21,147
Speaker 4: now sort of crunch time where you know, the competition

85
00:05:21,267 --> 00:05:23,507
Speaker 4: is definitely on for most of the team or for

86
00:05:23,947 --> 00:05:27,987
Speaker 4: many and this is what they've been training and preparing

87
00:05:28,067 --> 00:05:30,867
Speaker 4: for physically and mentally for such.

88
00:05:30,707 --> 00:05:32,987
Speaker 5: A long time. So you know, it's a very very

89
00:05:32,987 --> 00:05:34,187
Speaker 5: exciting time for everybody.

90
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:37,707
Speaker 2: You're shift of mission at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham

91
00:05:37,867 --> 00:05:41,827
Speaker 2: two years ago. Can you compare and contrast for us

92
00:05:41,867 --> 00:05:44,547
Speaker 2: how much bigger is an Olympic Games?

93
00:05:46,547 --> 00:05:46,787
Speaker 6: Yeah?

94
00:05:46,827 --> 00:05:49,307
Speaker 4: I think you know, physically obviously, the size is the

95
00:05:49,347 --> 00:05:54,467
Speaker 4: scale as massive. You know, the village although geographically it's

96
00:05:54,507 --> 00:05:57,027
Speaker 4: quite compact, it goes up quite a lot as well,

97
00:05:57,107 --> 00:06:02,987
Speaker 4: so it's quite dense, and it's the population obviously many

98
00:06:03,027 --> 00:06:07,267
Speaker 4: more nations. There's there's more at stake, so just it's bigger.

99
00:06:08,187 --> 00:06:10,307
Speaker 4: But I suppose functionally, you know, we just need to

100
00:06:10,307 --> 00:06:12,867
Speaker 4: do the same things as we do for Birmingham. Get

101
00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:15,987
Speaker 4: those right, you know, get the athletes to the start

102
00:06:16,027 --> 00:06:18,627
Speaker 4: line at the right time, the right place, in the

103
00:06:18,707 --> 00:06:19,747
Speaker 4: right fame of.

104
00:06:19,787 --> 00:06:22,627
Speaker 5: Mind and everything, and and let them perform.

105
00:06:22,827 --> 00:06:26,307
Speaker 2: As the games get underway and get going what will

106
00:06:26,347 --> 00:06:27,747
Speaker 2: take up most of your time.

107
00:06:30,827 --> 00:06:32,547
Speaker 5: Yes, so at the moment we kind of we're still

108
00:06:32,587 --> 00:06:33,907
Speaker 5: welcoming teams and so that's.

109
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:37,067
Speaker 4: A really important part of our our team culture is

110
00:06:37,107 --> 00:06:39,787
Speaker 4: making sure we get that right. It's been really amazing

111
00:06:39,787 --> 00:06:42,627
Speaker 4: with the team so far, so we're going to continue

112
00:06:42,667 --> 00:06:46,147
Speaker 4: doing that. Obviously, then supporting athletes and teams as they

113
00:06:46,347 --> 00:06:49,707
Speaker 4: start progressing through into the competitions. And then you know,

114
00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:52,827
Speaker 4: really sadly we're we're fear welling teams as they have

115
00:06:52,907 --> 00:06:56,467
Speaker 4: finished and they carry on with either back to New

116
00:06:56,507 --> 00:07:01,507
Speaker 4: Zealand or into their their competition season throughout throughout the world.

117
00:07:01,907 --> 00:07:05,427
Speaker 4: So it's you know, we're only just started and some

118
00:07:05,427 --> 00:07:07,867
Speaker 4: some some teams they're getting ready to go home soon.

119
00:07:07,947 --> 00:07:10,947
Speaker 2: Indeed, And I guess also this is the pinnacle for

120
00:07:10,987 --> 00:07:14,267
Speaker 2: the athletes and they are putting the very final finishing

121
00:07:14,307 --> 00:07:16,747
Speaker 2: touches on their preparation. Are you just aware that, you know,

122
00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:18,587
Speaker 2: to not get in their way even though you want

123
00:07:18,627 --> 00:07:20,547
Speaker 2: to make a connection with them and make sure that

124
00:07:20,547 --> 00:07:21,987
Speaker 2: they've got everything they need.

125
00:07:22,987 --> 00:07:25,707
Speaker 4: One hundred percent, So on the gym at the moment

126
00:07:25,867 --> 00:07:27,987
Speaker 4: for S and C guy, because at the certain time

127
00:07:27,987 --> 00:07:30,227
Speaker 4: we can get in here and without the team's being present.

128
00:07:30,307 --> 00:07:34,987
Speaker 7: So I love it.

129
00:07:35,067 --> 00:07:37,547
Speaker 4: So yeah, So you know, look, we're definitely staying in

130
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:39,827
Speaker 4: our own lane, and you know we're there if they

131
00:07:39,867 --> 00:07:41,707
Speaker 4: need them. You know, the view here is it's an

132
00:07:41,707 --> 00:07:43,867
Speaker 4: opt in situation, you know, so we will help them

133
00:07:43,867 --> 00:07:47,227
Speaker 4: as much as they as they want or need, and

134
00:07:47,267 --> 00:07:49,587
Speaker 4: we work closely with team management to make sure you know,

135
00:07:49,627 --> 00:07:52,027
Speaker 4: that's the case, you know. And it is delicate, you know,

136
00:07:52,067 --> 00:07:54,107
Speaker 4: because you know there's a fair amount of anxiety and

137
00:07:54,147 --> 00:07:55,867
Speaker 4: nerves going on, and we just have to be careful

138
00:07:55,907 --> 00:07:58,467
Speaker 4: that we're not trying to be you know, wind people

139
00:07:58,547 --> 00:08:01,267
Speaker 4: up overly too much or not engage either. So it's

140
00:08:01,467 --> 00:08:04,387
Speaker 4: a real balance and something we've reminded mindful of to

141
00:08:04,387 --> 00:08:05,227
Speaker 4: make sure we get right.

142
00:08:05,747 --> 00:08:08,307
Speaker 2: From your experience, Nigel, how much of what happens in

143
00:08:08,347 --> 00:08:12,707
Speaker 2: the next three weeks will be stuff that you hadn't expected.

144
00:08:15,147 --> 00:08:16,387
Speaker 4: I don't know, you have to tell you, ask me,

145
00:08:16,867 --> 00:08:19,587
Speaker 4: ask me that that three weeks.

146
00:08:21,787 --> 00:08:23,667
Speaker 3: But are you are you ready, for example, are you

147
00:08:23,747 --> 00:08:26,787
Speaker 3: ready to fight fires or just to just are you

148
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:28,867
Speaker 3: expecting the unexpected just in case?

149
00:08:30,747 --> 00:08:34,147
Speaker 4: Yes, So we we sort of have some scenario type planning,

150
00:08:34,187 --> 00:08:36,067
Speaker 4: you know, what if planning and just to say, well, look,

151
00:08:36,067 --> 00:08:38,507
Speaker 4: you know, what would our prices look like if something happened,

152
00:08:39,067 --> 00:08:42,267
Speaker 4: and so you know wherever that happening might be. If

153
00:08:42,387 --> 00:08:44,787
Speaker 4: that should happen, then at least we've got to here's

154
00:08:44,787 --> 00:08:46,947
Speaker 4: a frame of reference we can look to to help

155
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:50,067
Speaker 4: manage that. And yeah, I guess you've just got to

156
00:08:50,107 --> 00:08:51,667
Speaker 4: expect the unexpected.

157
00:08:51,267 --> 00:08:54,347
Speaker 5: And plan for what we can control.

158
00:08:54,947 --> 00:08:56,827
Speaker 4: And because that's what we ask the athletes to do,

159
00:08:56,987 --> 00:08:59,467
Speaker 4: you know, work on what they can control themselves and

160
00:09:00,427 --> 00:09:01,987
Speaker 4: the rest just has to happen around them.

161
00:09:02,387 --> 00:09:05,827
Speaker 2: Apart from metals or what other metrics do you use

162
00:09:05,907 --> 00:09:09,427
Speaker 2: to judge the success of the games from a New

163
00:09:09,547 --> 00:09:12,427
Speaker 2: Zealand perspective, Yeah.

164
00:09:12,267 --> 00:09:14,667
Speaker 4: So we we survey at the end of the games,

165
00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:16,907
Speaker 4: and you know, one of the questions is, you know

166
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:20,667
Speaker 4: you know, what did the environment have to your to

167
00:09:20,707 --> 00:09:22,067
Speaker 4: your important to your performance?

168
00:09:22,227 --> 00:09:22,387
Speaker 8: Did it?

169
00:09:22,547 --> 00:09:23,907
Speaker 5: Did it Ai Dad or not?

170
00:09:24,507 --> 00:09:26,747
Speaker 4: You know, we're we're happy with the management and things

171
00:09:26,787 --> 00:09:29,627
Speaker 4: like that, so you know, we'd hopefully will score highly

172
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:31,867
Speaker 4: on that. That's what we try to do because we

173
00:09:32,027 --> 00:09:33,707
Speaker 4: what we can't do is run on the field of

174
00:09:33,707 --> 00:09:36,507
Speaker 4: play and help the athletes out in the pool or

175
00:09:36,507 --> 00:09:37,587
Speaker 4: on the tracker in the field.

176
00:09:37,787 --> 00:09:38,507
Speaker 5: That's up to the end.

177
00:09:38,507 --> 00:09:39,987
Speaker 4: But what we can do is try and provide an

178
00:09:40,067 --> 00:09:44,707
Speaker 4: environment where they feel happy, safe, secure, welcomed, real try

179
00:09:44,787 --> 00:09:49,627
Speaker 4: sense of belonging and and and that just aids puts

180
00:09:49,827 --> 00:09:51,667
Speaker 4: obvious the icing on the cake, as it were, from

181
00:09:51,747 --> 00:09:52,387
Speaker 4: their performance.

182
00:09:53,067 --> 00:09:55,027
Speaker 2: How important do you perceive it to be that you

183
00:09:55,587 --> 00:09:58,787
Speaker 2: were a former Olympian or an Olympian yourself a former

184
00:09:59,067 --> 00:10:02,547
Speaker 2: elite athlete as was your predecessor Roberdell. How important do

185
00:10:02,587 --> 00:10:05,867
Speaker 2: you perceive that to be in the role of shift mission.

186
00:10:06,427 --> 00:10:10,467
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it's important because you have an understanding

187
00:10:10,507 --> 00:10:12,587
Speaker 4: of what the ethlets are going through, so you can

188
00:10:12,627 --> 00:10:17,107
Speaker 4: really empathize with how they're going and you know what

189
00:10:17,147 --> 00:10:21,347
Speaker 4: they might be feeling or thinking. But ultimately, we've got

190
00:10:21,347 --> 00:10:24,027
Speaker 4: an amazing team here. Some of which they have been

191
00:10:24,067 --> 00:10:27,747
Speaker 4: Olympians also, but others who haven't, but they're contributing just

192
00:10:27,787 --> 00:10:30,067
Speaker 4: as much. And and it's it really is a team

193
00:10:30,147 --> 00:10:33,667
Speaker 4: effort of the team behind the team. And I guess

194
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:36,827
Speaker 4: the amazing thing is as the athletes start arriving, as

195
00:10:36,827 --> 00:10:39,787
Speaker 4: they have in the last week or so par seculy,

196
00:10:39,827 --> 00:10:42,587
Speaker 4: you know, the Olympians who have been there before are

197
00:10:42,667 --> 00:10:45,187
Speaker 4: kind of meeting and greeting that team behind the team.

198
00:10:45,267 --> 00:10:46,987
Speaker 4: He has a gun, you know, so they walk into

199
00:10:47,027 --> 00:10:49,867
Speaker 4: a familiar environment and there's such an amazing thing.

200
00:10:50,067 --> 00:10:50,227
Speaker 5: You know.

201
00:10:50,467 --> 00:10:53,507
Speaker 4: They just love being part of a wider New Zealand team,

202
00:10:53,547 --> 00:10:55,467
Speaker 4: not just the you know, the rowing team or the

203
00:10:55,507 --> 00:10:59,827
Speaker 4: cycling team for example. They're they're there with others and

204
00:11:00,347 --> 00:11:02,227
Speaker 4: it's an amazing environment to be part of.

205
00:11:02,587 --> 00:11:04,387
Speaker 3: Do you still get a buzz as well from seeing

206
00:11:04,827 --> 00:11:07,667
Speaker 3: seeing the wide eyes of a first time Olympian?

207
00:11:09,587 --> 00:11:12,827
Speaker 4: You do, because you know we've all been there and

208
00:11:13,587 --> 00:11:15,747
Speaker 4: so you know exactly what they're going through. And so

209
00:11:16,147 --> 00:11:18,587
Speaker 4: you know, for me that's actually you know, I've been

210
00:11:18,627 --> 00:11:21,947
Speaker 4: a bit more time with them and just saving a

211
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:24,067
Speaker 4: few chats and whatnot, because you know they are a

212
00:11:24,107 --> 00:11:24,787
Speaker 4: bit wide eyed.

213
00:11:25,107 --> 00:11:26,027
Speaker 5: But we've also got an.

214
00:11:25,987 --> 00:11:29,947
Speaker 4: Amazing group of athlete support who have I think they

215
00:11:30,227 --> 00:11:34,507
Speaker 4: have all been Olympians, four of them, and we've got

216
00:11:34,507 --> 00:11:37,027
Speaker 4: a wellness team and whatnot, and so we're really cognizant

217
00:11:37,067 --> 00:11:39,547
Speaker 4: that we want to make sure that they're not being

218
00:11:39,547 --> 00:11:42,947
Speaker 4: overwhelmed by the occasion because it can be quite overwhelming.

219
00:11:43,107 --> 00:11:45,667
Speaker 5: And there's obviously reminding them.

220
00:11:45,507 --> 00:11:48,787
Speaker 4: And they're here to compete, but just also reminding them that,

221
00:11:49,787 --> 00:11:52,507
Speaker 4: you know, it's they're good at what they do and

222
00:11:52,547 --> 00:11:55,467
Speaker 4: they've obviously been been very successful to get to where

223
00:11:55,467 --> 00:11:57,387
Speaker 4: they've got to, which is here, and then she need

224
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,267
Speaker 4: to try and replicate that in the field, to play

225
00:11:59,307 --> 00:12:01,627
Speaker 4: here and and go for it as best they can.

226
00:12:02,107 --> 00:12:04,307
Speaker 3: We've had the opening ceremony, of course, how nice a

227
00:12:04,427 --> 00:12:07,227
Speaker 3: job is it telling the flag bearers that they're going

228
00:12:07,267 --> 00:12:08,027
Speaker 3: to be flag bearers?

229
00:12:09,547 --> 00:12:11,547
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, it's the privilege being in my role

230
00:12:12,387 --> 00:12:12,947
Speaker 5: full stop.

231
00:12:12,987 --> 00:12:17,387
Speaker 4: But to ask those questions of our team and those

232
00:12:17,427 --> 00:12:20,667
Speaker 4: two people, it's amazing privilege and huge honour to be

233
00:12:20,707 --> 00:12:23,667
Speaker 4: able to do that and very very special. So both

234
00:12:23,707 --> 00:12:26,907
Speaker 4: of them are amazing people, you know, very humble.

235
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:30,547
Speaker 5: Then we're both kind of blown away by.

236
00:12:30,427 --> 00:12:32,947
Speaker 4: Receiving the call mamosphe worry why why they want why

237
00:12:32,947 --> 00:12:35,867
Speaker 4: I wanted to speak with them, because you know, it's

238
00:12:35,907 --> 00:12:37,227
Speaker 4: not the sort of thing that you put on your

239
00:12:37,227 --> 00:12:39,227
Speaker 4: to do list and say I want to be a

240
00:12:39,267 --> 00:12:39,787
Speaker 4: flag bearer.

241
00:12:39,787 --> 00:12:42,347
Speaker 5: It's just something thats it kind of happens, and there was.

242
00:12:42,467 --> 00:12:47,947
Speaker 4: They were quite overwhelmed and obviously very appreciative of honor

243
00:12:47,987 --> 00:12:48,507
Speaker 4: to be asked.

244
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,907
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those emotions prove that you pick the

245
00:12:50,987 --> 00:12:53,987
Speaker 2: right people for the job. I have to ask you

246
00:12:54,027 --> 00:12:57,987
Speaker 2: quickly about about drone Gate and what played out there

247
00:12:58,027 --> 00:12:59,867
Speaker 2: the fall out continued. How do you reflect on what

248
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:02,707
Speaker 2: on what played out with the Canadian football team and

249
00:13:02,707 --> 00:13:03,467
Speaker 2: our football films.

250
00:13:04,947 --> 00:13:05,147
Speaker 9: Yeah.

251
00:13:05,147 --> 00:13:07,467
Speaker 4: I was obviously very shocking to have received that news,

252
00:13:08,267 --> 00:13:11,787
Speaker 4: extremely disappointed, and I guess for the team is you know,

253
00:13:11,867 --> 00:13:14,467
Speaker 4: quite unsettling. But I think they responded as well as

254
00:13:14,467 --> 00:13:16,347
Speaker 4: they could because you know, once it's in the hands

255
00:13:16,347 --> 00:13:19,307
Speaker 4: of the authorities, there's not much more else they can do.

256
00:13:20,187 --> 00:13:22,547
Speaker 4: There's no there's no point dropping the bottom lip. They

257
00:13:22,787 --> 00:13:24,347
Speaker 4: just have to get on with the game. I spoke

258
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:28,627
Speaker 4: with Elie Riley. Obviously she had immensely disappointing for her

259
00:13:28,667 --> 00:13:31,347
Speaker 4: for her injury, and that was also unsettling for the team.

260
00:13:31,707 --> 00:13:34,547
Speaker 5: But she was, you know, confident the.

261
00:13:34,467 --> 00:13:38,307
Speaker 4: Team will just have to you have to regroup and

262
00:13:38,307 --> 00:13:38,867
Speaker 4: and carry on.

263
00:13:38,947 --> 00:13:40,387
Speaker 8: And although we didn't.

264
00:13:40,267 --> 00:13:42,187
Speaker 4: See the game because we were in the middle of

265
00:13:42,267 --> 00:13:46,547
Speaker 4: our flabor announcement ceremony, you know they gave it a

266
00:13:46,547 --> 00:13:49,147
Speaker 4: great shot, you know, you know one all into the

267
00:13:49,187 --> 00:13:52,987
Speaker 4: break was It's a great effort. It just didn't quite

268
00:13:52,987 --> 00:13:54,947
Speaker 4: get So now we just have to wait for the

269
00:13:54,947 --> 00:13:58,227
Speaker 4: process of the i C Integrity Unit and FIFA's investigation

270
00:13:58,347 --> 00:14:00,147
Speaker 4: and see where that lands.

271
00:14:00,587 --> 00:14:03,827
Speaker 2: And just to finish, you're one of our greatest weightlifters.

272
00:14:04,027 --> 00:14:06,187
Speaker 2: Would you get the chance to take in that sport

273
00:14:06,587 --> 00:14:08,347
Speaker 2: at these games? Have you made a point of making

274
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:10,467
Speaker 2: sure that you get along When David Lichti is involved

275
00:14:10,867 --> 00:14:13,467
Speaker 2: in weightlifting, I.

276
00:14:13,427 --> 00:14:17,387
Speaker 4: Would love to see him compete, of course, but it

277
00:14:17,427 --> 00:14:20,147
Speaker 4: depends on what else is happening, what's going around, And

278
00:14:20,827 --> 00:14:22,507
Speaker 4: to be fair, I haven't really looked at the schedule,

279
00:14:22,547 --> 00:14:24,627
Speaker 4: but I want to support as many of the ethics

280
00:14:24,627 --> 00:14:26,907
Speaker 4: as we can. But as I mentioned earlier, you know,

281
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:30,427
Speaker 4: I need to be part of the team welcomes going

282
00:14:30,467 --> 00:14:32,227
Speaker 4: on as well, so it's a bit of a balance.

283
00:14:32,267 --> 00:14:34,467
Speaker 4: But I also I want to get down to see sailing,

284
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:38,787
Speaker 4: to watch Joe. I definitely watch Aaron compete, So there's

285
00:14:38,787 --> 00:14:40,587
Speaker 4: a lot to do, a lot to see, and as

286
00:14:40,587 --> 00:14:43,227
Speaker 4: I said before, I'm extremely privileged to be able to

287
00:14:43,987 --> 00:14:46,667
Speaker 4: be able to do that. So it's really really looking

288
00:14:46,667 --> 00:14:47,947
Speaker 4: forward to the next sixteen days.

289
00:14:48,147 --> 00:14:50,027
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all are back here as well, Nigel, as

290
00:14:50,067 --> 00:14:51,907

Speaker 2: all sorts and I'll continue to come and we just

00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:56,667
Speaker 2: can't wait to watch it all happen overnight our time,

293
00:14:56,667 --> 00:14:58,627
Speaker 2: of course, and I do look forward to chatting to

294
00:14:58,667 --> 00:15:00,467
Speaker 2: you after the games to see if there was anything

295
00:15:00,547 --> 00:15:03,747
Speaker 2: unexpected and whether you whether you hit your metrics, and

296
00:15:04,347 --> 00:15:06,027
Speaker 2: I know the team around you and yourself.

297
00:15:07,187 --> 00:15:08,787
Speaker 3: I'm going to make sure these athletes are in very

298
00:15:08,787 --> 00:15:09,227
Speaker 3: good hands.

299

Speaker 3: No, it's good to have you on the show, Nigel.

00:15:17,307 --> 00:15:19,747
Speaker 2: Thanks indeed, Nigel Avery, there chift a mission of the

304
00:15:19,787 --> 00:15:22,307
Speaker 2: New Zealand team at the start of the games of

305
00:15:22,347 --> 00:15:26,027
Speaker 2: the thirty third Olympiad. A right lines open all afternoon

306
00:15:26,067 --> 00:15:27,947
Speaker 2: on the Olympics, so I pick up on what you like, oh,

307
00:15:27,947 --> 00:15:31,707
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty opening Ceremony. Look, I'm

308
00:15:31,747 --> 00:15:35,347
Speaker 2: not huge on opening ceremonies for sporting events. If I'm

309
00:15:35,347 --> 00:15:37,227
Speaker 2: honest with you, I get the need for them. I

310
00:15:37,307 --> 00:15:41,147
Speaker 2: understand why you have them, and watching that this morning,

311
00:15:41,187 --> 00:15:44,867
Speaker 2: I admire the incredible work which goes into pulling them

312
00:15:44,867 --> 00:15:48,787
Speaker 2: all together. But they're really just a curtain raiser to

313
00:15:48,827 --> 00:15:52,627
Speaker 2: the real stuff, aren't they The real reason everybody is

314
00:15:52,667 --> 00:15:57,867
Speaker 2: in Paris or in France, the actual sport. Now that's

315
00:15:57,907 --> 00:15:59,867
Speaker 2: not to say I'm not keen on your views on

316
00:15:59,987 --> 00:16:02,587
Speaker 2: the opening ceremony. I am if you, if you watched it,

317
00:16:02,627 --> 00:16:06,347
Speaker 2: what stood out for you? I mean, I can only

318
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:10,787
Speaker 2: begin to imagine the logistical challenge of pulling that together,

319
00:16:11,787 --> 00:16:13,667
Speaker 2: and the fact that they didn't just confine it to

320
00:16:14,547 --> 00:16:16,907
Speaker 2: a stadium this time. They had it down a river,

321
00:16:17,507 --> 00:16:24,227
Speaker 2: six kilometers of river. The security alone must have been

322
00:16:26,067 --> 00:16:29,467
Speaker 2: months years in the planning. So if you had a

323
00:16:29,507 --> 00:16:31,827
Speaker 2: look at it this morning, the opening ceremony, if you're

324
00:16:31,827 --> 00:16:34,587
Speaker 2: a fan of these things, a fan of the fanfare

325
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:37,547
Speaker 2: and the pomp and the ceremony, can to hear from you,

326
00:16:37,627 --> 00:16:39,947
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Some sports, of course,

327
00:16:39,947 --> 00:16:44,227
Speaker 2: have already gotten underway. Our two football teams have played

328
00:16:44,227 --> 00:16:48,227
Speaker 2: their opening games, and the vagaries of the schedule have

329
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:51,267
Speaker 2: also meant that our men's sevens team are out of

330
00:16:51,307 --> 00:16:54,587
Speaker 2: mental metal contention even before the flame was lit this morning.

331
00:16:55,427 --> 00:16:58,507
Speaker 2: Did you see those guys afterwards? Did you see the

332
00:16:58,547 --> 00:17:02,667
Speaker 2: sevens guys afterwards? I can't remember a more devastated group

333
00:17:02,707 --> 00:17:09,987
Speaker 2: of athletes. They were shattered, crushed, so so disappointed. And

334
00:17:10,027 --> 00:17:12,747
Speaker 2: we can talk about the drones if you'd like as well.

335
00:17:12,787 --> 00:17:14,307
Speaker 2: We haven't had the chance to do that. That happened

336
00:17:14,347 --> 00:17:15,787
Speaker 2: during the week. We haven't had the chance to chat

337
00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:19,947
Speaker 2: about that. Should the IOC have kicked Canada out for

338
00:17:20,067 --> 00:17:23,627
Speaker 2: spying on the football foods? I'm sure you're across this story.

339
00:17:23,987 --> 00:17:25,907
Speaker 2: Take us wherever you want to go, oh, eight hundred

340
00:17:26,027 --> 00:17:28,587
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. If there are athletes you're keen on

341
00:17:28,667 --> 00:17:31,347
Speaker 2: watching sports that you don't normally get the opportunity to watch,

342
00:17:31,347 --> 00:17:33,747
Speaker 2: But are keen on doing that? Or are you a

343
00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:35,707
Speaker 2: fan of a sport that doesn't really get its time

344
00:17:35,707 --> 00:17:39,347
Speaker 2: in the sun until the Olympics roll around? Take us

345
00:17:39,347 --> 00:17:41,267
Speaker 2: where you like on the Olympic Games. I eight hundred

346
00:17:41,387 --> 00:17:43,827
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty nine, two nine to two on text

347
00:17:43,827 --> 00:17:44,867
Speaker 2: back with your calls after this.

348
00:17:45,587 --> 00:17:49,107
Speaker 1: The biggest things in sports are on weekend Sports with

349
00:17:49,307 --> 00:17:53,427
Speaker 1: Jason Pain and GJ. Gubnomes, New Zealand's most trusted home

350
00:17:53,467 --> 00:17:54,467
Speaker 1: builder news songs.

351
00:17:54,467 --> 00:17:56,667
Speaker 2: There'd be twelve twenty seven a lot of people asking

352
00:17:56,707 --> 00:17:59,027
Speaker 2: who's on tonight? You know who shall we be looking

353
00:17:59,027 --> 00:18:01,347
Speaker 2: out for. I'll get to the schedule in a moment

354
00:18:01,507 --> 00:18:04,187
Speaker 2: and let you know who you can watch and when,

355
00:18:04,507 --> 00:18:06,787
Speaker 2: or who you can listen to and when. Don't get

356
00:18:06,947 --> 00:18:09,547
Speaker 2: We have through the night commentary right across the Olympics

357
00:18:09,587 --> 00:18:12,947
Speaker 2: on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio. I do need you to

358
00:18:12,987 --> 00:18:15,907
Speaker 2: set your alarm for ten to seven tomorrow morning. Eric

359
00:18:15,907 --> 00:18:20,587
Speaker 2: A fair Weather, all things being equal, provided she qualifies

360
00:18:20,627 --> 00:18:23,147
Speaker 2: tonight in the heats, will swim the final of the

361
00:18:23,187 --> 00:18:26,867
Speaker 2: women's four hundred meter freestyle tomorrow morning just after ten

362
00:18:26,947 --> 00:18:30,347
Speaker 2: to seven. She is a genuine medal chance. We haven't

363
00:18:30,387 --> 00:18:34,507
Speaker 2: won a swimming medal at the Olympics since nineteen ninety six.

364
00:18:35,467 --> 00:18:38,467
Speaker 2: Eric A fair Weather could change that tomorrow. Oh, eight

365
00:18:38,587 --> 00:18:40,307
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty Let's get to the phones

366
00:18:40,307 --> 00:18:42,267
Speaker 2: and have a chat about the games of the thirty

367
00:18:42,267 --> 00:18:44,627
Speaker 2: third Olympiad and everything associated with them.

368
00:18:44,787 --> 00:18:48,347
Speaker 10: Lionel, Hi mate, oh yeah, hi right, Jason, Yes, good morning.

369
00:18:48,947 --> 00:18:51,387
Speaker 10: I just want to give mart dupin'shirts and the soccer

370
00:18:51,467 --> 00:18:55,547
Speaker 10: debarco with our girls. Yes, I think the IOC should

371
00:18:56,227 --> 00:18:59,747
Speaker 10: take Getada and ban them out of his games because

372
00:18:59,747 --> 00:19:02,867
Speaker 10: it's the same as drugs and don't them.

373
00:19:03,307 --> 00:19:06,307
Speaker 2: In my books, well, it's gaining, it's gaining an advance

374
00:19:06,387 --> 00:19:08,587
Speaker 2: untage unfairly, Lionel, isn't it?

375
00:19:08,707 --> 00:19:11,987
Speaker 10: And that and that way it is so my books,

376
00:19:12,027 --> 00:19:14,307
Speaker 10: they should go out and New Zealand should be warded

377
00:19:14,347 --> 00:19:17,827
Speaker 10: the points finished. That's it, no debate because if you

378
00:19:17,867 --> 00:19:20,187
Speaker 10: don't take a hard stare, now, what are you going

379
00:19:20,227 --> 00:19:22,107
Speaker 10: to get tomorrow, in the next day and the next day.

380
00:19:23,387 --> 00:19:24,387
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's it.

381
00:19:24,387 --> 00:19:24,547
Speaker 6: There.

382
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:26,867
Speaker 2: You've probably picked up on this as well, Lionel, and

383
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:30,307
Speaker 2: that and that in investigating this, this doesn't seem as

384
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:33,067
Speaker 2: it's not a one off. They've been doing this apparently

385
00:19:33,067 --> 00:19:35,427
Speaker 2: if you're if you listen to some reports, they've been

386
00:19:35,467 --> 00:19:36,627
Speaker 2: doing this for some time.

387
00:19:37,547 --> 00:19:41,587
Speaker 10: No, that's that's that's that's boy, because that's why they

388
00:19:41,627 --> 00:19:44,867
Speaker 10: get away with it. By the time they Friday decide

389
00:19:45,067 --> 00:19:47,427
Speaker 10: our years. It should be the Games of Boss and

390
00:19:47,467 --> 00:19:49,627
Speaker 10: then it's too bloody late. We don't want to get

391
00:19:49,627 --> 00:19:51,587
Speaker 10: a medal in that sense. Here. We want to meddle

392
00:19:51,627 --> 00:19:52,307
Speaker 10: now if we can.

393
00:19:53,027 --> 00:19:55,227
Speaker 2: It's a difficult one for them to manage, Lionel. Isn't

394
00:19:55,267 --> 00:19:58,547
Speaker 2: because they had to move quickly if they were to

395
00:19:58,667 --> 00:20:02,547
Speaker 2: impose sanctions like like, for example, kicking them out or

396
00:20:02,947 --> 00:20:05,267
Speaker 2: taking points off them for this game in particular, or

397
00:20:05,307 --> 00:20:08,507
Speaker 2: whatever they decided because they're up against time pressure. The

398
00:20:08,547 --> 00:20:10,827
Speaker 2: game had to be played and will continue to be played.

399
00:20:11,347 --> 00:20:13,467
Speaker 2: You know, Canada will stay in for the meantime anyway,

400
00:20:13,867 --> 00:20:17,507
Speaker 2: and the IOC and FIFA aren't necessarily renowned for moving

401
00:20:17,547 --> 00:20:19,147
Speaker 2: it at lightning speed.

402
00:20:19,187 --> 00:20:22,427
Speaker 10: Linel, I know we need somebody there that's got the

403
00:20:23,027 --> 00:20:27,067
Speaker 10: guts to say, right, this is it, executive decision and

404
00:20:27,147 --> 00:20:31,387
Speaker 10: it's done finished, because now you paint the whole games.

405
00:20:31,987 --> 00:20:33,947
Speaker 2: I guess always. So you think to yourself, Lionel, Okay,

406
00:20:33,987 --> 00:20:36,907
Speaker 2: what if they did that? Would there be enormous uproar

407
00:20:36,947 --> 00:20:38,507
Speaker 2: about it? And I don't think there would be if

408
00:20:38,507 --> 00:20:41,307
Speaker 2: they said, look, we've decided to kick Canada out or

409
00:20:41,347 --> 00:20:43,667
Speaker 2: to dop them any points they gain while they're here.

410
00:20:43,987 --> 00:20:46,067
Speaker 2: I don't know that there'd be a bit enormous uproar

411
00:20:46,107 --> 00:20:47,507
Speaker 2: about that. I think a lot of people would share

412
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:49,427
Speaker 2: your view that it's it's just not really on.

413
00:20:50,347 --> 00:20:52,827
Speaker 10: Of course, absolutely, because you go to the game in

414
00:20:52,947 --> 00:20:57,347
Speaker 10: good faith and then they the Canadians sadly reached the

415
00:20:57,387 --> 00:20:59,387
Speaker 10: good faith and I think they should play the price.

416
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:02,227
Speaker 10: Players are today players, But if we do it now,

417
00:21:02,387 --> 00:21:03,547
Speaker 10: they do not happen again.

418
00:21:04,867 --> 00:21:07,387
Speaker 3: Interesting view, Lionel. Things are you are you? Are you

419
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:08,867
Speaker 3: a fan of the Olympic Games? You're going to be

420
00:21:08,907 --> 00:21:09,387
Speaker 3: watching a bit?

421
00:21:10,267 --> 00:21:12,867
Speaker 10: Oh yes, I've recorded all of these right from one

422
00:21:12,907 --> 00:21:16,427
Speaker 10: o'clock in the morning because I'm a sports only I.

423
00:21:16,307 --> 00:21:17,787
Speaker 3: Love that, Linel, I love it.

424
00:21:17,827 --> 00:21:19,867
Speaker 2: I look forward to chatting with you across the Olympic

425
00:21:19,907 --> 00:21:23,587
Speaker 2: Games then and chatting about what catches your eye.

426
00:21:23,747 --> 00:21:26,307
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a difficult time, isn't it in terms of

427
00:21:26,307 --> 00:21:26,907
Speaker 3: time zones.

428
00:21:27,067 --> 00:21:28,827
Speaker 2: Having said that, though a lot of the good you know,

429
00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:30,667
Speaker 2: the good stuff, I say, the good stuff. A lot

430
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:32,507
Speaker 2: of the finals, for example in the swimming are at

431
00:21:32,547 --> 00:21:37,067
Speaker 2: breakfast time, so it's actually not too problematic in terms

432
00:21:37,067 --> 00:21:41,907
Speaker 2: of your sleeping patterns. You know you can and look,

433
00:21:41,987 --> 00:21:43,707
Speaker 2: you can always record stuff I've seen a lot of

434
00:21:43,787 --> 00:21:47,667
Speaker 2: times on the show that I simply cannot watch live

435
00:21:47,667 --> 00:21:48,427
Speaker 2: sport recorded.

436
00:21:48,867 --> 00:21:49,547
Speaker 3: I can't do it.

437
00:21:49,587 --> 00:21:52,667
Speaker 2: I know that it's not live. I know that if

438
00:21:52,707 --> 00:21:56,187
Speaker 2: you avoid the score it's the same, and sleep is important,

439
00:21:56,987 --> 00:21:58,507
Speaker 2: but I'm just unable.

440
00:21:58,107 --> 00:21:58,427
Speaker 3: To do it.

441
00:21:58,507 --> 00:21:59,467
Speaker 5: I can't.

442
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:04,027
Speaker 2: I can't the life of me watch watch live sport recorded.

443
00:22:04,227 --> 00:22:05,627
Speaker 3: Calvin, what are you looking forward to?

444
00:22:06,587 --> 00:22:09,667
Speaker 11: Yeah, just about all of it. I liked Lionel seth

445
00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:16,667
Speaker 11: African accent. Yeah. Now, Jason as an outra, I've got

446
00:22:16,667 --> 00:22:21,387
Speaker 11: a specific athletic question to ask you. But anyway, I

447
00:22:21,507 --> 00:22:25,547
Speaker 11: enjoyed you when you're talking to Nigel Avery and you

448
00:22:25,627 --> 00:22:27,867
Speaker 11: mentioned the fact that he was weightlifting. I've spoken to

449
00:22:27,907 --> 00:22:31,387
Speaker 11: him a couple of times here in the tron when

450
00:22:31,387 --> 00:22:34,867
Speaker 11: I was sitting in this small stadium. He was relaxing there,

451
00:22:35,147 --> 00:22:37,187
Speaker 11: and I always knew him more or less as a

452
00:22:38,227 --> 00:22:40,627
Speaker 11: long jumper, and I think he did the discuss and

453
00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:43,627
Speaker 11: a couple other things. So when he eventually got in

454
00:22:43,667 --> 00:22:47,707
Speaker 11: their big time news being a weightlifter, that really really

455
00:22:47,747 --> 00:22:50,467
Speaker 11: surprised me greatly, And of course for him to meddle

456
00:22:50,627 --> 00:22:54,827
Speaker 11: in it was fantastic. Now I'm sure it was that

457
00:22:54,947 --> 00:22:57,827
Speaker 11: his father who put all the money there for the

458
00:22:58,507 --> 00:23:00,867
Speaker 11: big stadium. I don't know what it's called at Auckland.

459
00:23:00,907 --> 00:23:02,187
Speaker 11: I think it's on the north shore.

460
00:23:03,387 --> 00:23:05,147
Speaker 3: I don't know, Sorry, Kelvin, I'm not sure.

461
00:23:05,547 --> 00:23:08,747
Speaker 11: Yeah, And as father, I think had a big viny

462
00:23:08,867 --> 00:23:12,627
Speaker 11: idea or whatever down at Hawke's Bay area or Gisbon

463
00:23:12,747 --> 00:23:15,987
Speaker 11: or somewhere around that area anyway, Yes, so not. Nigel

464
00:23:16,107 --> 00:23:18,987
Speaker 11: is a fantastic athlete in his own right, and so

465
00:23:19,347 --> 00:23:23,027
Speaker 11: was his wife. I can't remember her first name, Stoda.

466
00:23:23,267 --> 00:23:26,987
Speaker 11: She was a tall, slim, long jumper. Fantastic. But now

467
00:23:26,987 --> 00:23:29,667
Speaker 11: here's the athletic question. I know the answer, but I

468
00:23:30,067 --> 00:23:33,347
Speaker 11: want to test you in a way. All was who

469
00:23:33,427 --> 00:23:38,187
Speaker 11: was New Zealand's first person to break the foremanut mile?

470
00:23:39,467 --> 00:23:42,747
Speaker 2: The first New Zealander to break the Foreman at mile? Yes,

471
00:23:43,707 --> 00:23:45,267
Speaker 2: well I presume it was John Walker.

472
00:23:45,387 --> 00:23:46,907
Speaker 3: Was it what?

473
00:23:49,347 --> 00:23:50,547
Speaker 11: Murray Helbergh Helberg?

474
00:23:50,587 --> 00:23:54,987
Speaker 3: Of course, yes, I've jumped far too far ahead, Murray Helberg.

475
00:23:55,307 --> 00:23:58,347
Speaker 11: Murray Helbert, Yes, Sir Murray Helberg. And of course you

476
00:23:58,427 --> 00:24:03,987
Speaker 11: got to remember great Peter Snell. So Peter Snell.

477
00:24:04,107 --> 00:24:05,947
Speaker 2: Of course I've jumped way to the far ahead, haven't I?

478
00:24:05,947 --> 00:24:07,627
Speaker 2: I guess I I thought that when you said form

479
00:24:07,627 --> 00:24:10,347
Speaker 2: minut miles because I know how many he's run John Walker,

480
00:24:10,347 --> 00:24:12,227
Speaker 2: that is No, you're right it Murray Helberg Peters Now

481
00:24:12,267 --> 00:24:13,627
Speaker 2: would have done it plenty of times.

482
00:24:14,267 --> 00:24:14,467
Speaker 12: Yep.

483
00:24:14,507 --> 00:24:16,427
Speaker 3: No, it's a it's a good question, and I've failed

484
00:24:16,427 --> 00:24:17,587
Speaker 3: to tease Calvin, I'm afraid.

485
00:24:17,667 --> 00:24:19,427
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm just trying to keep you on the ball.

486
00:24:19,627 --> 00:24:21,347
Speaker 2: Look, I'm happy for you to do that, mate, right

487
00:24:21,347 --> 00:24:23,307
Speaker 2: across the Olympic Games. If you want to call with

488
00:24:23,307 --> 00:24:25,427
Speaker 2: any more quiz questions, I'll try to be a lot

489
00:24:25,467 --> 00:24:28,787
Speaker 2: more a lot more accurate than with my answers next time.

490
00:24:29,387 --> 00:24:31,147
Speaker 3: How are you, Craig. Have you got some questions for you?

491
00:24:31,467 --> 00:24:32,347
Speaker 3: Some quiz questions?

492
00:24:32,427 --> 00:24:35,627
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, well yeah I'm not I'm probably the worst

493
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:37,347
Speaker 8: New Zealand In New Zealand, I'm not really going to

494
00:24:37,347 --> 00:24:39,027
Speaker 8: be watching the Olympics. I'm not in the smaller and

495
00:24:39,027 --> 00:24:41,067
Speaker 8: more into motor racing and stuff like that. Fair enough,

496
00:24:41,787 --> 00:24:44,267
Speaker 8: but it says each their own. I mean, I just

497
00:24:44,587 --> 00:24:46,427
Speaker 8: have watched rugby. I just don't seem to want to

498
00:24:46,427 --> 00:24:48,347
Speaker 8: get don't seem to get into some reason. I think

499
00:24:48,347 --> 00:24:50,347
Speaker 8: I justided to understand the rules or whatever it is.

500
00:24:50,427 --> 00:24:56,147
Speaker 8: And anyway, my question is two questions, was the New

501
00:24:56,187 --> 00:24:59,267
Speaker 8: Zealand Was the New Zealand sevens? It lost to South Africa?

502
00:24:59,427 --> 00:25:00,907
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah.

503
00:25:00,987 --> 00:25:03,187
Speaker 8: What I don't understand is they've played South Africa in

504
00:25:03,227 --> 00:25:05,667
Speaker 8: the pool match and they beat South Africa. Why were

505
00:25:05,667 --> 00:25:07,427
Speaker 8: they then playing go there for three again in the

506
00:25:07,467 --> 00:25:08,547
Speaker 8: next round?

507
00:25:08,747 --> 00:25:10,467
Speaker 3: Craig, what a tremendously good question.

508
00:25:10,507 --> 00:25:12,867
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the answer, but I still

509
00:25:12,907 --> 00:25:15,627
Speaker 2: don't think it's a very good answer. So normally in

510
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:19,267
Speaker 2: seven's what happens is you have a sixteen team tournament, right,

511
00:25:19,307 --> 00:25:22,027
Speaker 2: so there's four polls of four, the top two from

512
00:25:22,067 --> 00:25:23,867
Speaker 2: each pool going to the quarters and the bottom two

513
00:25:23,947 --> 00:25:26,987
Speaker 2: go into the minor placings nine to sixteen. So there's

514
00:25:26,987 --> 00:25:29,907
Speaker 2: never any way that you can play a team that

515
00:25:30,547 --> 00:25:34,027
Speaker 2: you've played in your pool until you reach the actual final.

516
00:25:34,227 --> 00:25:36,147
Speaker 2: You can meet them in the final, but it is

517
00:25:36,187 --> 00:25:39,107
Speaker 2: impossible for you to play a team in the quarterfinal

518
00:25:39,107 --> 00:25:41,667
Speaker 2: that you've already played in pool play. So that's the

519
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:44,907
Speaker 2: way sevens normally works. At the Olympics, for whatever reason,

520
00:25:45,187 --> 00:25:48,387
Speaker 2: there are only twelve teams involved, so they put them

521
00:25:48,387 --> 00:25:51,867
Speaker 2: into four pools of three, three pools of four, The

522
00:25:51,907 --> 00:25:54,827
Speaker 2: top two go through and then the best two third

523
00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:58,267
Speaker 2: place teams, one of which was South Africa who were

524
00:25:58,267 --> 00:26:01,027
Speaker 2: in New Zealand's pool, and by the way the draw

525
00:26:01,107 --> 00:26:03,787
Speaker 2: was structured, we had to play them again. It's I

526
00:26:03,867 --> 00:26:06,747
Speaker 2: have no idea why they don't have sixteen team there.

527
00:26:07,907 --> 00:26:10,507
Speaker 8: Okay, that kind of leads me into other questions. What's

528
00:26:10,587 --> 00:26:12,987
Speaker 8: the Canada in order to barkll have caught with them

529
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:16,187
Speaker 8: if they kicked them out of the Olympics. Does that

530
00:26:16,267 --> 00:26:18,867
Speaker 8: mean there would be teams inherently be standing around doing

531
00:26:18,867 --> 00:26:20,707
Speaker 8: nothing where they would have been playing Canada through the

532
00:26:20,707 --> 00:26:23,467
Speaker 8: different games, or what if they rescheduled the whole tournament.

533
00:26:23,587 --> 00:26:25,947
Speaker 2: Yeah, another very good question, and that's I guess why

534
00:26:25,987 --> 00:26:27,987
Speaker 2: they thought to themselves, Man, if we kick them out,

535
00:26:28,027 --> 00:26:30,667
Speaker 2: then we are going to be stuck with some scheduling difficulties.

536
00:26:30,827 --> 00:26:33,507
Speaker 2: What the one thing they could have done is said, look,

537
00:26:33,547 --> 00:26:35,627
Speaker 2: you can play the games, but you won't get any points.

538
00:26:35,947 --> 00:26:38,307
Speaker 2: But again, that is that's problematic because would they be

539
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:39,147
Speaker 2: trying that hard?

540
00:26:41,227 --> 00:26:41,387
Speaker 5: Yeah?

541
00:26:41,947 --> 00:26:44,147
Speaker 2: Right, even turn up exactly right. So you know, one

542
00:26:44,147 --> 00:26:46,067
Speaker 2: thing they could have done is said, right, okay, anyone

543
00:26:46,067 --> 00:26:49,267
Speaker 2: who's playing Canada, you get you get a three nil

544
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:52,427
Speaker 2: win for example, you don't play the game, but it's

545
00:26:52,507 --> 00:26:54,587
Speaker 2: recorded on the points table as though you've got a

546
00:26:54,627 --> 00:26:57,027
Speaker 2: three nil win or something like that game. But it

547
00:26:57,027 --> 00:26:59,107
Speaker 2: would have but you're right, it would have thrown things out.

548
00:26:59,467 --> 00:27:01,587
Speaker 2: Some teams would have had a full lot of group

549
00:27:01,627 --> 00:27:03,947
Speaker 2: games before they reached the knockout rounds. Others would have

550
00:27:03,947 --> 00:27:06,147
Speaker 2: only played two games. So you know, what does that

551
00:27:06,147 --> 00:27:08,347
Speaker 2: to do in terms of the fitness levels, the recovery,

552
00:27:08,347 --> 00:27:10,867
Speaker 2: all that stuff. There's so many things to unpick.

553
00:27:11,747 --> 00:27:13,787
Speaker 8: All I was thinking was maybe they could make them say,

554
00:27:14,827 --> 00:27:16,627
Speaker 8: I don't know how you work it out, but say

555
00:27:16,667 --> 00:27:20,147
Speaker 8: that Canada give them, say a points or say negative

556
00:27:20,227 --> 00:27:22,947
Speaker 8: ten or negative five or whatever is they points, and

557
00:27:22,947 --> 00:27:24,667
Speaker 8: then put them into the competition and they can just

558
00:27:24,707 --> 00:27:27,707
Speaker 8: places for normal. But then they have to kind of

559
00:27:28,827 --> 00:27:30,547
Speaker 8: give the other teams in advantage. But then they saw are

560
00:27:30,587 --> 00:27:32,547
Speaker 8: going to work out, going to go past their negativecore.

561
00:27:32,507 --> 00:27:33,747
Speaker 8: It actually getting where in the finals?

562
00:27:34,147 --> 00:27:34,507
Speaker 5: I don't know.

563
00:27:34,627 --> 00:27:36,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, they started they start at minus really yeah

564
00:27:36,787 --> 00:27:37,667
Speaker 2: they start at minus one.

565
00:27:37,787 --> 00:27:37,987
Speaker 3: Yeah.

566
00:27:39,787 --> 00:27:42,427
Speaker 2: Fun to watch. So yeah, what what particular motorsport do

567
00:27:42,507 --> 00:27:42,867
Speaker 2: you follow?

568
00:27:44,347 --> 00:27:48,347
Speaker 8: I like the quite fume, I like the more the

569
00:27:48,387 --> 00:27:51,747
Speaker 8: drag racing and the VC cars. Not a fan of

570
00:27:51,827 --> 00:27:54,667
Speaker 8: the IF one cars because they tend to be like, well,

571
00:27:54,707 --> 00:27:56,627
Speaker 8: I don't know. I call them like screaming little kids

572
00:27:56,787 --> 00:27:57,507
Speaker 8: racing around the track.

573
00:27:57,547 --> 00:27:59,907
Speaker 5: They got really high.

574
00:27:59,947 --> 00:28:02,067
Speaker 8: I mean it's like being like being at a day care.

575
00:28:02,107 --> 00:28:02,667
Speaker 8: Seem to think.

576
00:28:03,627 --> 00:28:05,987
Speaker 3: But it's good, it's good. I like it.

577
00:28:06,027 --> 00:28:08,307
Speaker 8: But yeah, I was sort of more of the old school,

578
00:28:08,307 --> 00:28:10,547
Speaker 8: like the Nascaren places like that. I'm quite a fan

579
00:28:10,627 --> 00:28:13,107
Speaker 8: of NASCAR ben the fact that they don't generally have

580
00:28:13,147 --> 00:28:14,787
Speaker 8: a lot of computers on board, and it's more the

581
00:28:14,867 --> 00:28:18,027
Speaker 8: driver that has to relate information back to the pits

582
00:28:18,067 --> 00:28:19,907
Speaker 8: as to what's going on. Things like that that's more

583
00:28:19,947 --> 00:28:24,387
Speaker 8: personal and individual. But I do follow Scott Dixon though,

584
00:28:24,427 --> 00:28:28,507
Speaker 8: I mean he's been done pretty well. But yeah, and.

585
00:28:28,467 --> 00:28:30,867
Speaker 2: You're still you're still you still follow the Vates in Australia.

586
00:28:30,907 --> 00:28:32,987
Speaker 2: I mean it feels I don't know, and you'll know

587
00:28:33,067 --> 00:28:35,507
Speaker 2: more than me about this, as though there's not quite

588
00:28:35,507 --> 00:28:38,067
Speaker 2: as much star power in the Vight supercars in Australia

589
00:28:38,107 --> 00:28:39,347
Speaker 2: now as there has been in the past.

590
00:28:39,347 --> 00:28:40,827
Speaker 3: But you're still you still follow it.

591
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:43,747
Speaker 8: I still follow it, but I think it's it's lost.

592
00:28:43,787 --> 00:28:45,547
Speaker 8: It's a lot of appeal fact that it's gone from

593
00:28:45,827 --> 00:28:49,107
Speaker 8: holding versus forward to Chevy versus well, still forward, but

594
00:28:49,627 --> 00:28:52,467
Speaker 8: it's gone from the you know, every day Joe that

595
00:28:52,547 --> 00:28:54,187
Speaker 8: goes to the team can see the cars and go

596
00:28:54,267 --> 00:28:55,947
Speaker 8: oh yeah, and eventually he can go down to the

597
00:28:55,987 --> 00:28:58,827
Speaker 8: dealership and buy Carlot then having him similar, whereas nowadays

598
00:28:58,867 --> 00:29:02,107
Speaker 8: it's because it's not similar to what cars people drive

599
00:29:02,147 --> 00:29:03,827
Speaker 8: every day. So I think it's lost a little bit

600
00:29:03,827 --> 00:29:07,867
Speaker 8: of its magic behind the thing like going to more

601
00:29:07,867 --> 00:29:10,307
Speaker 8: of the American cars and stuff like that. But yeah,

602
00:29:10,347 --> 00:29:12,547
Speaker 8: it's very interesting. I've been to Bessie's a few times

603
00:29:12,627 --> 00:29:16,547
Speaker 8: and you see a bunch of people. They're absolutely plastered

604
00:29:16,587 --> 00:29:19,187
Speaker 8: with alcohol, and you think, yeah, how much of the

605
00:29:19,427 --> 00:29:20,867
Speaker 8: bracically actually remember.

606
00:29:20,907 --> 00:29:23,747
Speaker 3: Probably not too much, Craig, Probably not too much.

607
00:29:24,787 --> 00:29:26,867
Speaker 8: I stop taking your time anyway, but it's interesting to show.

608
00:29:26,907 --> 00:29:28,507
Speaker 8: But I don't have a couple of questions that I'm

609
00:29:28,507 --> 00:29:30,107
Speaker 8: not really into sport, and I was just watching.

610
00:29:29,827 --> 00:29:30,187
Speaker 9: A bit of it.

611
00:29:30,587 --> 00:29:32,667
Speaker 8: It was confusing me. I know, I couldn't refigure out

612
00:29:32,667 --> 00:29:33,307
Speaker 8: what was going on.

613
00:29:33,387 --> 00:29:35,627
Speaker 2: So no, mate, Craig, I'm here to answer your questions

614
00:29:35,667 --> 00:29:37,067
Speaker 2: if I can at any time. And you know what,

615
00:29:37,107 --> 00:29:38,867
Speaker 2: if I can't answer them, you know that somebody in

616
00:29:38,867 --> 00:29:41,307
Speaker 2: the audience will be able to so, mate, don't think

617
00:29:41,347 --> 00:29:43,427
Speaker 2: you're taking up any of my time. Enjoyed the chat.

618
00:29:43,467 --> 00:29:45,667
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten

619
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:48,187
Speaker 2: eighty just on Nigel Avery. I had word through that

620
00:29:48,267 --> 00:29:51,307
Speaker 2: Graham Avery. Nigel's dad was a major funder in the

621
00:29:51,347 --> 00:29:54,987
Speaker 2: Hastings Sports Park, which includes netball courts, hockey, turf, canoo,

622
00:29:55,027 --> 00:29:58,147
Speaker 2: polo facility or where the athletic track and a recently

623
00:29:58,147 --> 00:30:01,827
Speaker 2: opened fifty meters indoor swimming pool which also received some

624
00:30:01,987 --> 00:30:05,107
Speaker 2: funding from the Shane Jones Provincial Growth Fund. My grandkids

625
00:30:05,227 --> 00:30:07,907
Speaker 2: play most of the sport's on offer and it's five

626
00:30:07,987 --> 00:30:11,547
Speaker 2: hundred meters from where they live. Thanks Jerupe. Well, yeah,

627
00:30:11,547 --> 00:30:17,187
Speaker 2: obviously a family deeply invested in sport in New Zealand. Hamish,

628
00:30:17,227 --> 00:30:22,747
Speaker 2: says Jason new Clown. Sport is live. At some point

629
00:30:22,747 --> 00:30:25,027
Speaker 2: stop saying I can't watch live sport recorded. You don't

630
00:30:25,027 --> 00:30:27,627
Speaker 2: make any sense. What I meant, I guess, Hamish was

631
00:30:27,707 --> 00:30:29,587
Speaker 2: if there's something on in the middle of the night,

632
00:30:30,707 --> 00:30:33,387
Speaker 2: let's say at three o'clock in the morning, I find

633
00:30:33,427 --> 00:30:35,867
Speaker 2: it very difficult for some reason, and it might make

634
00:30:35,867 --> 00:30:38,187
Speaker 2: me a clown. I find it very difficult to wake

635
00:30:38,267 --> 00:30:41,267
Speaker 2: up at seven in the morning and watch a replay

636
00:30:41,307 --> 00:30:44,547
Speaker 2: of the live sport, knowing that it's not live. Yes,

637
00:30:44,587 --> 00:30:47,307
Speaker 2: it probably makes me a bit odd, but it's just

638
00:30:47,347 --> 00:30:51,467
Speaker 2: something unfortunately that's hard wired into my DNA because I

639
00:30:51,547 --> 00:30:54,387
Speaker 2: know that, you know, I could fast forward or I

640
00:30:54,427 --> 00:30:57,027
Speaker 2: could look for the result. I know it's silly and

641
00:30:57,107 --> 00:30:59,427
Speaker 2: maybe it does make me a clown. I appreciate your text.

642
00:30:59,587 --> 00:31:02,387
Speaker 2: Hamish twenty to one. We're back in a moment linees

Speaker 3: We'll get to Paris as well.

646
00:31:07,547 --> 00:31:13,467
Speaker 2: Michael Burgess was was I was gonna say, Sideline riverside

647
00:31:14,107 --> 00:31:17,107
Speaker 2: he was. He was watching the opening ceremony on the

Speaker 2: river send this morning. Going to get his impressions when

00:31:31,187 --> 00:31:31,787
Speaker 3: Sixteen to one.

654
00:31:31,827 --> 00:31:34,267
Speaker 2: The New Zealand heralds Michael Burgess is on the ground

655
00:31:34,347 --> 00:31:37,147
Speaker 2: in Paris for the duration of the games, covering all

656
00:31:37,187 --> 00:31:39,747
Speaker 2: sorts of sports, including burge i know, one of your

657
00:31:39,787 --> 00:31:42,427
Speaker 2: favorite sports, the opening ceremony, How was it?

658
00:31:46,147 --> 00:31:47,907
Speaker 13: No, Al, I'm not a big fan opening ceremonies, so

659
00:31:47,987 --> 00:31:51,067
Speaker 13: this was amazing, mate, This was this was the best ever.

660
00:31:51,187 --> 00:31:53,467
Speaker 13: I mean, I was lucky to be in Beijing in

661
00:31:53,467 --> 00:31:55,027
Speaker 13: two thousand and eight and that was incredible.

662
00:31:55,347 --> 00:31:57,747
Speaker 9: Sidney was good, of course, London was great with James Bond.

663
00:31:57,787 --> 00:32:00,827
Speaker 9: But this was amazing. This was the best ever.

664
00:32:00,947 --> 00:32:03,027
Speaker 13: I sort of got a feeling that this should be

665
00:32:03,067 --> 00:32:05,027
Speaker 13: the last one because no one's ever going to top this.

666
00:32:05,307 --> 00:32:08,507
Speaker 13: You know, it was just absolutely remarkable. No one thought

667
00:32:08,507 --> 00:32:11,627
Speaker 13: they could do it on a six kilometer stretch of river,

668
00:32:11,987 --> 00:32:14,867
Speaker 13: and they did it. So yeah, the French of they

669
00:32:14,907 --> 00:32:15,867
Speaker 13: made themselves proud.

670
00:32:16,147 --> 00:32:17,347
Speaker 3: Pretty ambitious stuff.

671
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:17,787
Speaker 5: Burge.

672
00:32:17,787 --> 00:32:19,467
Speaker 2: As you say, you know, when you when you're walking

673
00:32:19,507 --> 00:32:21,747
Speaker 2: into an Olympic stadium, you're kind of enclosed in a

674
00:32:22,027 --> 00:32:26,147
Speaker 2: in a finite area, but six kilometers of river, anything

675
00:32:26,187 --> 00:32:27,627
Speaker 2: could have gone wrong, and I'm sure a couple of

676
00:32:27,667 --> 00:32:30,267
Speaker 2: things did behind the scenes, but overall, you were, by

677
00:32:30,307 --> 00:32:32,427
Speaker 2: the sounds of it, utterly impressed by it.

678
00:32:34,107 --> 00:32:35,267
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean exactly.

679
00:32:35,347 --> 00:32:38,667
Speaker 13: Right up until about November October last year, they were

680
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:40,987
Speaker 13: still talking about a plan B or a plancy because

681
00:32:40,987 --> 00:32:43,907
Speaker 13: I'm still worried mainly about security, but also other things.

682
00:32:44,667 --> 00:32:48,947
Speaker 13: They had something like sixty thousand police and soldiers in

683
00:32:48,987 --> 00:32:53,347
Speaker 13: Powis today, but you know, mainly for security, and they had,

684
00:32:53,387 --> 00:32:55,187
Speaker 13: you know, all these boats on the river. The weather

685
00:32:55,267 --> 00:32:58,667
Speaker 13: wasn't great. The weather didn't come to the party's rain windy,

686
00:32:58,787 --> 00:33:02,147
Speaker 13: so it was pretty rocky out there. But they did it.

687
00:33:02,227 --> 00:33:03,907
Speaker 13: You know, they pulled it off. They pulled off something

688
00:33:03,907 --> 00:33:07,147
Speaker 13: that everyone thought was impossible. And as a say, I

689
00:33:07,307 --> 00:33:08,547
Speaker 13: think this will ever be top Mates.

690
00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:10,867
Speaker 3: Seriously, all right, well you've been on the ground in

691
00:33:10,907 --> 00:33:14,427
Speaker 3: Paris for a week or so. Now just give us

692
00:33:14,587 --> 00:33:16,987
Speaker 3: a feel of the city of Paris as it prepares

693
00:33:17,027 --> 00:33:20,147
Speaker 3: to host the biggest sporting event on the planet.

694
00:33:22,107 --> 00:33:24,027
Speaker 13: It's been a funny one, mate, because I've talked to

695
00:33:24,067 --> 00:33:26,147
Speaker 13: quite a few locals and there's sort of there's there's

696
00:33:26,147 --> 00:33:28,467
Speaker 13: mixed feelings. There's quite a few locals that, you know,

697
00:33:28,467 --> 00:33:30,147
Speaker 13: a bit negative about the games, and then there's a

698
00:33:30,187 --> 00:33:32,747
Speaker 13: lot that are so excited. But one thing I did

699
00:33:32,907 --> 00:33:36,867
Speaker 13: notice today really is that all these people have just

700
00:33:36,907 --> 00:33:38,787
Speaker 13: flooded in. I just sort of was walking through the

701
00:33:38,787 --> 00:33:41,627
Speaker 13: center and you're just suddenly seeing all these fans like

702
00:33:41,707 --> 00:33:44,947
Speaker 13: they've just derived from somewhere so or you know, Cuban fans,

703
00:33:44,987 --> 00:33:48,667
Speaker 13: An American fans, Danish, Indian. So there's a real sense

704
00:33:48,707 --> 00:33:50,787
Speaker 13: that the games is about to begin.

705
00:33:50,867 --> 00:33:51,987
Speaker 9: The preambles always good.

706
00:33:52,027 --> 00:33:54,467
Speaker 13: I mean we've already had, of course, football and handball

707
00:33:54,507 --> 00:33:57,947
Speaker 13: and rugby seven's, but it all gets underway tomorrow and

708
00:33:58,027 --> 00:34:01,747
Speaker 13: I think I think Paris is buzzing. There's so much

709
00:34:01,827 --> 00:34:06,827
Speaker 13: excitement about this French team. The President Macro has already

710
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:08,347
Speaker 13: come out of said he wants them in the top

711
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:11,267
Speaker 13: top five. I think there are eighth to ninth in

712
00:34:11,387 --> 00:34:14,187
Speaker 13: Tokyo and they could have their best ever Olympics.

713
00:34:14,227 --> 00:34:15,867
Speaker 9: So that that has really got the.

714
00:34:16,787 --> 00:34:19,107
Speaker 13: Nation going because France is such a proud sporting nation

715
00:34:19,187 --> 00:34:21,107
Speaker 13: and they're so good at so many different sports.

716
00:34:21,507 --> 00:34:24,427
Speaker 2: Incredible stuff in the in the first couple of three

717
00:34:24,507 --> 00:34:27,267
Speaker 2: days around the football burge and it's been all over

718
00:34:27,307 --> 00:34:30,107
Speaker 2: I think every media outlet everywhere in the world. As

719
00:34:30,147 --> 00:34:32,147
Speaker 2: have you been by the sounds of it with drone

720
00:34:32,227 --> 00:34:35,907
Speaker 2: gate around the Canadian football team. Can you give us

721
00:34:35,947 --> 00:34:38,187
Speaker 2: just a bit of an idea of how big this

722
00:34:38,307 --> 00:34:39,387
Speaker 2: story has become.

723
00:34:41,187 --> 00:34:43,587
Speaker 13: Oh, it's been huge, mate, It's it's been one of

724
00:34:43,627 --> 00:34:46,427
Speaker 13: the biggest stories we ever covered. You know, just wandering

725
00:34:46,427 --> 00:34:49,427
Speaker 13: around the media center in Paris, and you know there's

726
00:34:49,467 --> 00:34:51,227
Speaker 13: journalist river in the world when they see you in

727
00:34:51,227 --> 00:34:53,747
Speaker 13: New Zealand Herald t shirt or you're talking and they

728
00:34:54,307 --> 00:34:57,147
Speaker 13: there's people from allderful places that want to talk about

729
00:34:57,187 --> 00:34:59,947
Speaker 13: this story because it's just it's just a zinger of

730
00:34:59,987 --> 00:35:02,867
Speaker 13: a story. You know, the Espinas are buying the cheating.

731
00:35:02,907 --> 00:35:06,427
Speaker 13: It's something that it's really a perfect story in a

732
00:35:06,587 --> 00:35:10,467
Speaker 13: media wise, and it's just so bloody bizarre and the

733
00:35:10,547 --> 00:35:13,507
Speaker 13: fact that it started off and it's just rumbling and

734
00:35:13,587 --> 00:35:16,267
Speaker 13: rumbling and getting getting bigger and bigger, and we've seen

735
00:35:16,307 --> 00:35:21,667
Speaker 13: the consequences and the Canadian media still can't believe it.

736
00:35:22,227 --> 00:35:24,187
Speaker 13: But yeah, it's been in the it's been in all

737
00:35:24,187 --> 00:35:26,187
Speaker 13: the French papers, the Spanish papers.

738
00:35:27,067 --> 00:35:29,747
Speaker 9: No one can quite understand what's gone on.

739
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:34,027
Speaker 13: And the fact that New Zealand's involved has made it, well,

740
00:35:34,587 --> 00:35:36,707
Speaker 13: it's made it pretty cool for us, hasn't it Piny.

741
00:35:36,707 --> 00:35:37,787
Speaker 3: Well, it has.

742
00:35:37,587 --> 00:35:41,307
Speaker 2: It's as you say, it's been leading the news and

743
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:44,747
Speaker 2: sports news cycle for forty eight seventy two hours. But

744
00:35:45,547 --> 00:35:48,267
Speaker 2: I guess what we're finding out now is that this

745
00:35:48,347 --> 00:35:51,027
Speaker 2: isn't necessarily just a one off thing. They're now talking

746
00:35:51,067 --> 00:35:56,147
Speaker 2: about this being something that's been going on for years. Burge.

747
00:35:56,187 --> 00:36:00,587
Speaker 2: If some rumors are to be believed, that's the thing.

748
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:02,427
Speaker 13: Like when this first broke and I did a bit

749
00:36:02,427 --> 00:36:05,147
Speaker 13: of digging, I had some Canadian sources telling me, oh,

750
00:36:05,187 --> 00:36:08,827
Speaker 13: this guy Bombard, he's gone rogue. He's done it, you know,

751
00:36:09,227 --> 00:36:12,387
Speaker 13: as most guys do. They're trying to either impress their

752
00:36:12,427 --> 00:36:14,547
Speaker 13: mates or impress a girl. You know, he's done something

753
00:36:14,627 --> 00:36:18,147
Speaker 13: stupid to do that. Yeah, but no, that was completely wrong.

754
00:36:18,227 --> 00:36:21,507
Speaker 9: It's not. He's just he's one of the victims.

755
00:36:21,547 --> 00:36:23,747
Speaker 13: The assistant coach has been in on it, other people

756
00:36:23,747 --> 00:36:27,027
Speaker 13: have been in on it. It's you know, I think

757
00:36:27,067 --> 00:36:29,827
Speaker 13: you're wrote in your column the other day. Spying does

758
00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:32,067
Speaker 13: go on in football. There's all sorts of weird stuff

759
00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:34,867
Speaker 13: that goes on in South America, even in the Premier League, and.

760
00:36:34,787 --> 00:36:36,227
Speaker 9: It's gone on back in the day as well.

761
00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:39,027
Speaker 13: But probably we're not used to it at the Olympics,

762
00:36:39,907 --> 00:36:42,027
Speaker 13: so that's what makes it weird.

763
00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:44,347
Speaker 9: But the fact that's been going on for years.

764
00:36:44,867 --> 00:36:47,147
Speaker 13: You know, you start to think about Canada's gold medal

765
00:36:47,187 --> 00:36:50,147
Speaker 13: in Tokyo, you wonder well, wait a minute, and you

766
00:36:50,227 --> 00:36:53,627
Speaker 13: also start to think about their underperformance of the World

767
00:36:53,667 --> 00:36:56,627
Speaker 13: Cup last year in Australia Zealand because maybe there's.

768
00:36:56,387 --> 00:36:58,387
Speaker 9: Something a bit wrong with the culture.

769
00:36:58,427 --> 00:37:01,387
Speaker 13: So yeah, there's there's quite a few strands to this,

770
00:37:01,507 --> 00:37:03,667
Speaker 13: and on hearing that it's still rumbling on, because the

771
00:37:03,707 --> 00:37:06,587
Speaker 13: other thing that surprises me, Piney is that normal the

772
00:37:06,667 --> 00:37:09,587
Speaker 13: IOC would have made a decision before that game against

773
00:37:09,587 --> 00:37:13,947
Speaker 13: the Ferns, but they can't because there's so many layers

774
00:37:13,987 --> 00:37:16,947
Speaker 13: to it, so they're still investigating. You know, it's still

775
00:37:16,987 --> 00:37:18,867
Speaker 13: and this is not great because the game has been played,

776
00:37:18,867 --> 00:37:22,027
Speaker 13: the competitions on, so I think this is going to

777
00:37:22,147 --> 00:37:24,507
Speaker 13: roll on, you know, obviously at least into tomorrow.

778
00:37:25,267 --> 00:37:27,827
Speaker 3: Such an interesting tale. What's the weather like?

779
00:37:28,187 --> 00:37:29,907
Speaker 2: You talked about it not being great for the opening

780
00:37:29,947 --> 00:37:32,627
Speaker 2: ceremony temperature wise, but warm?

781
00:37:32,747 --> 00:37:34,147
Speaker 3: Is it sticky? What's it like?

782
00:37:36,307 --> 00:37:38,027
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's been he's been warm.

783
00:37:38,267 --> 00:37:40,987
Speaker 13: I'm not going to complain, mate, because everyone else in

784
00:37:40,987 --> 00:37:42,707
Speaker 13: New Zealand is at home in winter, so I hate

785
00:37:42,707 --> 00:37:44,707
Speaker 13: people who are overseas.

786
00:37:44,227 --> 00:37:46,307
Speaker 9: Reporting in their campaigning about the heat. But it is

787
00:37:46,707 --> 00:37:47,187
Speaker 9: it's warm.

788
00:37:47,227 --> 00:37:49,387
Speaker 13: It's that kind of heat where you sort of you know,

789
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:51,747
Speaker 13: you walk from the Metro to the Vedeo and then

790
00:37:51,787 --> 00:37:54,547
Speaker 13: you're sort of sweating and your shoes and all that

791
00:37:54,627 --> 00:37:56,187
Speaker 13: and you're sort of sweating all day. So it's that

792
00:37:56,267 --> 00:37:57,987
Speaker 13: kind of heat. But as I say, I'm not complaining

793
00:37:58,027 --> 00:38:01,347
Speaker 13: at all. And then today it's been a bit rainy

794
00:38:01,427 --> 00:38:05,107
Speaker 13: and gloomy. Unfortunately there is rain forecast for tomorrow, so

795
00:38:05,627 --> 00:38:08,867
Speaker 13: there's a lot of on tomorrow and that will disrupt

796
00:38:08,867 --> 00:38:10,787
Speaker 13: a few of them, especially I'm thinking of the tennis

797
00:38:10,787 --> 00:38:13,747
Speaker 13: with lu Lusan and Aaron Rautless due to play rolling

798
00:38:13,787 --> 00:38:16,827
Speaker 13: bar Us. So hopefully the rain stays away. But yeah,

799
00:38:16,827 --> 00:38:20,307
Speaker 13: there is Rainforllcaster tomorrow. But in general the weather has

800
00:38:20,347 --> 00:38:23,147
Speaker 13: been has been good, nice, nice summer, warm weather.

801
00:38:23,707 --> 00:38:27,027
Speaker 2: And as a member of the working media at the Olympics,

802
00:38:27,467 --> 00:38:30,067
Speaker 2: I know it hasn't you know, started proper yet and

803
00:38:30,107 --> 00:38:31,347
Speaker 2: it will really ramp up.

804
00:38:31,347 --> 00:38:34,227
Speaker 3: But are the facilities good? Is it easy to find

805
00:38:34,227 --> 00:38:35,827
Speaker 3: out what you need to find out and get to

806
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:36,587
Speaker 3: where you need to be.

807
00:38:38,507 --> 00:38:42,107
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's pretty well organized, like the French always don't

808
00:38:42,147 --> 00:38:44,827
Speaker 13: have a great reputation for I guess.

809
00:38:45,107 --> 00:38:47,587
Speaker 9: Organization compared to some other European nations.

810
00:38:47,307 --> 00:38:50,427
Speaker 13: But but look at the stereotypes. I'm throwing in blood.

811
00:38:51,027 --> 00:38:56,427
Speaker 13: But no, they've they've been amazing. The the media centers

812
00:38:56,427 --> 00:38:58,827
Speaker 13: are great, the transport's pretty good, but the main thing

813
00:38:58,867 --> 00:38:59,707
Speaker 13: that stood out is the.

814
00:39:01,587 --> 00:39:04,387
Speaker 9: Volunteers and just all the locals.

815
00:39:04,507 --> 00:39:07,827
Speaker 13: Like you know, most of us media don't speak much

816
00:39:07,867 --> 00:39:09,667
Speaker 13: friends or any friends, but they're so helpful.

817
00:39:09,707 --> 00:39:12,707
Speaker 9: They're prepared to put up with our lack of the language.

818
00:39:13,667 --> 00:39:17,547
Speaker 13: So I think it's I've got a feeling, mate, that

819
00:39:17,587 --> 00:39:22,227
Speaker 13: this is going to be best Olympic Games of the century.

820
00:39:22,227 --> 00:39:26,187
Speaker 13: Better than Beijing, better than Sydney, better than London. Obviously

821
00:39:26,187 --> 00:39:30,227
Speaker 13: better than the last two because of COVID and also

822
00:39:30,267 --> 00:39:31,627
Speaker 13: Riya it was a bit weird because it was so

823
00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:33,507
Speaker 13: far away. So I think this is going to be

824
00:39:33,507 --> 00:39:36,787
Speaker 13: an absolute beauty, mainly because of the venues being all

825
00:39:36,827 --> 00:39:39,467
Speaker 13: in the city, all these classic venues, and talking to

826
00:39:39,507 --> 00:39:42,547
Speaker 13: the athletes, they're so excited about being able to perform

827
00:39:42,587 --> 00:39:46,667
Speaker 13: at some of these iconic stadiums and venues.

828
00:39:47,187 --> 00:39:49,307
Speaker 3: Even hearing you talk about a burge, I'm getting excited

829
00:39:49,347 --> 00:39:52,187
Speaker 3: about what lies ahead over the next sixteen days or so.

830
00:39:52,187 --> 00:39:53,667
Speaker 2: So good to have you on the ground setting the

831
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:56,547
Speaker 2: scene for us, mate. Look forward to chatting regularly. I

832
00:39:56,587 --> 00:39:58,467
Speaker 2: hope across the next two and a half weeks.

833
00:39:59,107 --> 00:40:01,027
Speaker 9: Yeah, me too, mate, and great to talk to you,

834
00:40:01,107 --> 00:40:02,347
Speaker 9: and yeah, we can't wait for this.

835
00:40:02,507 --> 00:40:04,267
Speaker 13: I think it's going to be there's going to be

836
00:40:04,267 --> 00:40:06,147
Speaker 13: some really good New Zealand performances coming.

837
00:40:05,947 --> 00:40:07,307
Speaker 9: Too, I agree.

838
00:40:07,307 --> 00:40:07,587
Speaker 3: Birds.

839
00:40:07,587 --> 00:40:10,907
Speaker 2: Thanks indeed, Michael Burgess, on the ground in Paris, please

840
00:40:10,907 --> 00:40:12,467
Speaker 2: tell us who's up in the next couple of days

Speaker 2: for the Kiwis, says this text.

842
00:40:13,987 --> 00:40:15,707
Speaker 3: I will, I will. I'm going to get to that.

843
00:40:15,827 --> 00:40:17,747

844
00:40:17,827 --> 00:40:18,667

Speaker 1: Breaking down the Hail Mary's and the epic fails weekends

846
00:40:24,747 --> 00:40:27,147
Speaker 1: for it with Jason Pine, News Talk.

00:40:27,267 --> 00:40:28,467
Speaker 3: ZB four to one.

848
00:40:28,547 --> 00:40:30,627
Speaker 2: Jason, I'm looking forward to watching the Olympus coverage as

849
00:40:30,627 --> 00:40:32,507
Speaker 2: you get to watch sports you often do not get

850
00:40:32,507 --> 00:40:34,747
Speaker 2: to see except when the Olympics are on. My favorite

851
00:40:34,787 --> 00:40:38,267
Speaker 2: is diving. My support worker is purchasing the Skygo and

852
00:40:38,467 --> 00:40:40,467
Speaker 2: is going to give me the username and passwords. I

853
00:40:40,467 --> 00:40:43,027
Speaker 2: can watch all the different channels. By the way, I

854
00:40:43,067 --> 00:40:45,307
Speaker 2: wonder what the opening ceremony. Were there more boats than

855
00:40:45,387 --> 00:40:47,587
Speaker 2: in America's Cup Broghett, Yeah, I think there might have been.

856
00:40:47,747 --> 00:40:50,707
Speaker 3: Thank you for your text. After one o'clock.

857
00:40:50,827 --> 00:40:53,347
Speaker 2: I will, I promise straight out of the news at

858
00:40:53,347 --> 00:40:56,427
Speaker 2: one give you tonight's schedule because there is quite a

859
00:40:56,427 --> 00:40:59,627
Speaker 2: bit on as far as New Zealanders are concerned. I'll

860
00:40:59,627 --> 00:41:01,987
Speaker 2: do that straight after the one o'clock news and then

861
00:41:02,027 --> 00:41:05,707
Speaker 2: we'll get into the Warriors. Slagh Griffin, assistant coach on

862
00:41:05,787 --> 00:41:08,347
Speaker 2: the win last over the Tigers final texts. I reckon

863
00:41:08,387 --> 00:41:11,107
Speaker 2: just lead the Canadians on and give them the impression

864
00:41:11,107 --> 00:41:13,267
Speaker 2: that they'll stay in the tournament, then dock all their

865
00:41:13,307 --> 00:41:16,827
Speaker 2: points at the end of pool play. It would be

866
00:41:16,907 --> 00:41:19,027
Speaker 2: rather unkind true.

867
00:41:19,987 --> 00:41:22,947
Speaker 1: It's the only place to discuss the biggest sports issues

868
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:24,667

Speaker 2: across the Tasman with Adam Peacock who was heavily involved

880
00:42:03,027 --> 00:42:05,787
Speaker 2: in Olympic coverage on his side of the Tasman too.

881
00:42:05,787 --> 00:42:10,507
Speaker 2: So what are thees and aspirations and you know, expectations

882
00:42:10,507 --> 00:42:11,867
Speaker 2: of the Australian team at the Olympics.

883
00:42:11,867 --> 00:42:13,747
Speaker 3: We'll chat about that, right.

884
00:42:14,307 --> 00:42:18,467
Speaker 2: I said that I would give you tonight's schedule and

885
00:42:18,587 --> 00:42:22,107
Speaker 2: I am going to stick to my word. Right, So,

886
00:42:22,267 --> 00:42:24,947
Speaker 2: if you want to listen to the Olympic Games, it's

887
00:42:25,147 --> 00:42:29,067
Speaker 2: very very easy to do it. Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.

888
00:42:29,147 --> 00:42:31,147
Speaker 2: Now Gold Sport you can listen to just in a

889
00:42:31,187 --> 00:42:35,387
Speaker 2: traditional sense in terms of an actual radio, or if

890
00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:38,107
Speaker 2: you go into iHeartRadio and look for Gold Sport, you'll

891
00:42:38,107 --> 00:42:40,827
Speaker 2: get it streaming on your device. Acause you wonder whether

892
00:42:40,827 --> 00:42:44,707
Speaker 2: people still have transistor radios, I'm pretty sure that they do.

893
00:42:45,347 --> 00:42:47,067
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, when I was a young boy

894
00:42:47,067 --> 00:42:50,507
Speaker 2: and even a slightly older boy listening to sport in

895
00:42:50,547 --> 00:42:53,387
Speaker 2: the middle of the night with a transistor radio under

896
00:42:53,387 --> 00:42:56,867
Speaker 2: my pillow, maybe a little earpiece. And people still do that,

897
00:42:56,987 --> 00:43:00,627
Speaker 2: don't they. I'm pretty sure that they do. If you

898
00:43:00,667 --> 00:43:02,827
Speaker 2: want to do that, you can listen right through the

899
00:43:02,907 --> 00:43:06,987
Speaker 2: night from seven o'clock every evening until the action stops

900
00:43:07,627 --> 00:43:09,747
Speaker 2: as the sun is coming up, and even sort of

901
00:43:09,787 --> 00:43:12,827
Speaker 2: into the mid morning. We will have live commentary of

902
00:43:12,987 --> 00:43:16,747

Speaker 2: of his slots. He thinks she's a bit of a

932
00:44:50,707 --> 00:44:55,907

00:46:24,427 --> 00:46:28,227
Speaker 2: one of the fastest in the world over this distance.

961
00:46:29,427 --> 00:46:32,387
Speaker 2: I've said this a few times, but only five women

962
00:46:32,467 --> 00:46:35,227
Speaker 2: have ever gone under four minutes for the four hundred

963
00:46:35,227 --> 00:46:38,347
Speaker 2: meter freestyle. Eric A fair Weather is one of those five.

964
00:46:38,507 --> 00:46:41,267
Speaker 2: Of the other four, three of them are at the Olympics,

965
00:46:41,547 --> 00:46:43,747
Speaker 2: so it is one of the most stacked fields in

966
00:46:43,787 --> 00:46:47,627
Speaker 2: any of the swimming events. Katie Ladecki, Arian Tiitmas and

967
00:46:47,707 --> 00:46:51,067
Speaker 2: Summer Macintosh are the other three who, along with eric

968
00:46:51,067 --> 00:46:53,707
Speaker 2: A fair Weather will no doubt battle it out for

969
00:46:53,747 --> 00:46:57,587
Speaker 2: the medals. So the qualifying tonight she just has to

970
00:46:57,627 --> 00:46:59,627
Speaker 2: be one of the eight fastest and then the final

971
00:46:59,667 --> 00:47:03,467

982
00:47:35,187 --> 00:47:38,267
Speaker 15: Eight points to sixteen in the full time score. The

983
00:47:38,267 --> 00:47:42,907
Speaker 15: Warriors keep their season alive, even if it is a

984
00:47:42,947 --> 00:47:49,147
Speaker 15: massive mountain. They have feeding the Tigers here tonight here

985
00:47:49,187 --> 00:47:50,147
Speaker 15: at Auklord.

986
00:47:50,067 --> 00:47:52,827
Speaker 2: Twenty eight to sixteen. The Warriors betting the Tigers last night.

987
00:47:52,867 --> 00:47:55,067
Speaker 2: They ran out to a fourteennerl lead at the break

988
00:47:55,107 --> 00:47:57,347
Speaker 2: before the Tigers closed the gap to fourteen to ten

989
00:47:57,427 --> 00:48:00,787
Speaker 2: midway through the second half, but a penalty and two

990
00:48:00,827 --> 00:48:03,507
Speaker 2: further tries helped the Warriors pick up a crucial two

991
00:48:03,587 --> 00:48:06,227
Speaker 2: points in the race for the top eight assistant coach

992
00:48:06,427 --> 00:48:09,107
Speaker 2: job the Warriors. Slade Griffin is what it's good to

993
00:48:09,107 --> 00:48:11,147
Speaker 2: get the chance to chat to your Slade that having

994
00:48:11,147 --> 00:48:13,227
Speaker 2: given it the overnight test and thought a bit about it,

995
00:48:13,227 --> 00:48:15,027
Speaker 2: how do you reflect on last night's performance.

996
00:48:16,227 --> 00:48:19,427
Speaker 14: Yeah, we'll review it today with the boys. But it's

997
00:48:19,467 --> 00:48:21,787
Speaker 14: probably a bit of a bitter sweet game. We knew

998
00:48:21,787 --> 00:48:25,107
Speaker 14: the Tigers are going to be very desperate and not playing,

999
00:48:25,187 --> 00:48:27,707
Speaker 14: you know, with nothing to lose, you know, even going

1000
00:48:27,787 --> 00:48:31,507
Speaker 14: for the short kickoffs and things like that, and they

1001
00:48:31,587 --> 00:48:34,987
Speaker 14: come over and play very physical, so we got off

1002
00:48:35,027 --> 00:48:37,987
Speaker 14: to a good start and then kind of for our season,

1003
00:48:37,987 --> 00:48:39,587
Speaker 14: we had a bit of a period there where we

1004
00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:43,227
Speaker 14: just did and execute a few things and then defensively

1005
00:48:43,267 --> 00:48:45,267
Speaker 14: we didn't hold them out, so they would be the

1006
00:48:45,307 --> 00:48:48,867
Speaker 14: big focus for us. But just good to get a

1007
00:48:48,907 --> 00:48:51,387
Speaker 14: win and learn. You know, you don't have to lose

1008
00:48:51,427 --> 00:48:54,187
Speaker 14: to learn, so I'm sure there'll be a few lessons

1009
00:48:54,187 --> 00:48:56,467
Speaker 14: for us here and yeah, just happy to get the

1010
00:48:56,467 --> 00:48:56,947
Speaker 14: two points.

1011
00:48:57,067 --> 00:48:58,907
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you say a bittersweet, I guess the sweet

1012
00:48:58,907 --> 00:49:00,027
Speaker 3: part is the two points.

1013
00:49:00,467 --> 00:49:03,747
Speaker 2: You know that that that obviously was important after a

1014
00:49:03,787 --> 00:49:07,067
Speaker 2: couple of close defeats in your last two games. Anything

1015
00:49:07,147 --> 00:49:10,627
Speaker 2: last night that was significantly better that you were pleased

1016
00:49:10,667 --> 00:49:12,707
Speaker 2: about compared to the last couple of matches.

1017
00:49:14,267 --> 00:49:16,907
Speaker 14: Yeah, we showed a lot of resilience on our tryline,

1018
00:49:17,747 --> 00:49:20,027
Speaker 14: you know, holding them out there, a bit of position

1019
00:49:20,187 --> 00:49:23,427
Speaker 14: and chunk a ball down on our goal line and

1020
00:49:23,507 --> 00:49:24,867
Speaker 14: we held them out there. So it's been a bit

1021
00:49:24,907 --> 00:49:27,347
Speaker 14: of a work on for us. I thought the boys

1022
00:49:27,347 --> 00:49:29,027
Speaker 14: did a really good job and the way we carried

1023
00:49:29,027 --> 00:49:31,587
Speaker 14: the football, you know, our forwards created a lot of

1024
00:49:31,627 --> 00:49:34,707
Speaker 14: momentum and we had a lot of opportunities there. I

1025
00:49:34,707 --> 00:49:37,067
Speaker 14: think there's some points out there, but you know, credit

1026
00:49:37,107 --> 00:49:40,547
Speaker 14: to the Tigers for defending us. But yeah, so we'll

1027
00:49:40,547 --> 00:49:42,747
Speaker 14: build our nose and have a good look at the

1028
00:49:42,747 --> 00:49:45,707
Speaker 14: game today. But very happy just to get the web

1029
00:49:45,747 --> 00:49:47,907
Speaker 14: in front of our fans at month snot you know,

1030
00:49:47,947 --> 00:49:50,387
Speaker 14: they've been turning up for us and the support's been

1031
00:49:50,467 --> 00:49:52,947
Speaker 14: unreal And again there was an awesome atmosphere last night.

1032
00:49:53,027 --> 00:49:55,427
Speaker 14: So I really excited this week against the Elf.

1033
00:49:55,547 --> 00:49:58,627
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be showing town. Isn't it a worriys homego?

1034
00:49:59,507 --> 00:50:01,707
Speaker 2: How worried were you at fourteen ten when they're back

1035
00:50:01,707 --> 00:50:02,427
Speaker 2: to fourteen ten?

1036
00:50:03,587 --> 00:50:07,387
Speaker 14: Oh, not worried, Like we're always you know, talk about

1037
00:50:07,387 --> 00:50:11,547
Speaker 14: sticking to the process, stay in prison, just getting back

1038
00:50:11,547 --> 00:50:14,747
Speaker 14: into that game cycle. So you know that was that

1039
00:50:15,587 --> 00:50:17,467
Speaker 14: sick and fry was you know, a little bit lucky.

1040
00:50:17,467 --> 00:50:19,387
Speaker 14: It kind of deflected off the league on a kick

1041
00:50:19,427 --> 00:50:22,027
Speaker 14: and just landed into their hands and they had a

1042
00:50:22,027 --> 00:50:25,747
Speaker 14: two v one opportunity. So yeah, it was more probably

1043
00:50:25,947 --> 00:50:28,267
Speaker 14: why they got down there. They've got a few penalties

1044
00:50:28,467 --> 00:50:31,467
Speaker 14: which we got to clean up. So just showing a

1045
00:50:31,547 --> 00:50:33,707
Speaker 14: bit more effort in our defense early on so they

1046
00:50:33,747 --> 00:50:35,907
Speaker 14: don't get those opportunities at the back into their seats

1047
00:50:35,907 --> 00:50:36,867
Speaker 14: will be the big one there.

1048
00:50:37,347 --> 00:50:40,227
Speaker 2: Look back to last week and obviously Chanelle Harris Devita

1049
00:50:40,267 --> 00:50:42,747
Speaker 2: had an unhappy night of the off the Boot. I

1050
00:50:42,747 --> 00:50:45,187
Speaker 2: want to talk about the last night in a minute,

1051
00:50:45,187 --> 00:50:47,947
Speaker 2: but how much did you have to wrap support around

1052
00:50:48,307 --> 00:50:50,187
Speaker 2: Chanelle during the week to make sure that he put

1053
00:50:50,187 --> 00:50:52,947
Speaker 2: that behind him and focused on the next game?

1054
00:50:54,907 --> 00:50:57,827
Speaker 14: Yeah, I guess we're a goalkicking coach Daryl Halligan, who's

1055
00:50:58,387 --> 00:51:02,707
Speaker 14: really good. He's obviously been a goal kicker, so he understands,

1056
00:51:02,707 --> 00:51:06,027
Speaker 14: you know, that process of figs and loads of kicking.

1057
00:51:06,107 --> 00:51:09,987
Speaker 14: But Stacy Jones is really good with him. So you know,

1058
00:51:10,787 --> 00:51:12,667
Speaker 14: Chanelle just he got out on the field and got

1059
00:51:12,747 --> 00:51:16,587
Speaker 14: some reps in people forget he probably is a third

1060
00:51:16,587 --> 00:51:20,747
Speaker 14: string kicker. So yeah, I thought he did a good job.

1061
00:51:21,227 --> 00:51:24,107
Speaker 14: You know, he's seen the crowd get behind him when

1062
00:51:24,107 --> 00:51:27,027
Speaker 14: he get hit that kick, so yeah, you know, he's

1063
00:51:27,067 --> 00:51:29,147
Speaker 14: a great guy and he works really hard at his

1064
00:51:29,187 --> 00:51:33,827
Speaker 14: craft and sometimes yeah, the mental game of football is

1065
00:51:33,907 --> 00:51:37,067
Speaker 14: just as challenging as the physical. So you know, he's

1066
00:51:37,067 --> 00:51:38,787
Speaker 14: seen how happy he was when he got that kick,

1067
00:51:38,867 --> 00:51:41,387
Speaker 14: so yeah, I'm sure he's feeling a lot better.

1068
00:51:41,427 --> 00:51:42,667
Speaker 2: It was such a good moment. I was going to

1069
00:51:42,707 --> 00:51:44,547
Speaker 2: say the little smile when he got one over. It

1070
00:51:44,627 --> 00:51:46,747
Speaker 2: was it was such a good moment, wasn't it. And

1071
00:51:47,147 --> 00:51:49,907
Speaker 2: and looking you know, you can see even in his

1072
00:51:50,347 --> 00:51:52,787
Speaker 2: even in his process looking up, taking the deep breas

1073
00:51:52,827 --> 00:51:54,347
Speaker 2: all that sort of thing. I know, we're just focusing

1074
00:51:54,387 --> 00:51:55,907
Speaker 2: on quite a small part of the game here, but

1075
00:51:56,267 --> 00:51:58,547
Speaker 2: I was. I think most people were just delighted for

1076
00:51:58,627 --> 00:52:00,467
Speaker 2: him and when he was when he was knocking them over.

1077
00:52:00,547 --> 00:52:04,347
Speaker 14: You know, he's a very likable guy, Chanel. He's a

1078
00:52:04,387 --> 00:52:06,987
Speaker 14: real team player and he brings so much to our

1079
00:52:06,987 --> 00:52:09,827
Speaker 14: footy team. You know, the way he tackles that he

1080
00:52:09,987 --> 00:52:12,987
Speaker 14: for his shows and defense guy in the boards around.

1081
00:52:13,907 --> 00:52:15,867
Speaker 14: You know, we've got to saying that. You know, kicking

1082
00:52:15,907 --> 00:52:18,907
Speaker 14: doesn't when you lose your games, but it can win

1083
00:52:18,947 --> 00:52:22,667
Speaker 14: your game. So we don't expect goal kicks to win

1084
00:52:22,747 --> 00:52:24,867
Speaker 14: us the game. There's always other things. Like last week,

1085
00:52:25,227 --> 00:52:27,227
Speaker 14: there was a lot of things we got wrong and

1086
00:52:27,387 --> 00:52:29,867
Speaker 14: unfortunately he bared the brunt of it. So you know,

1087
00:52:29,907 --> 00:52:32,347
Speaker 14: he took one for the team there and didn't complain.

1088
00:52:32,467 --> 00:52:34,307
Speaker 14: He just got out on the field and got his reps.

1089
00:52:34,347 --> 00:52:36,547
Speaker 14: And so yeah, the boys and the clubs behind him.

1090
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:38,867
Speaker 2: Roger two of vasa chick and the number one jersey

1091
00:52:38,907 --> 00:52:41,107
Speaker 2: last night. Everyone's going to be saying it, Slade, he

1092
00:52:41,147 --> 00:52:43,507
Speaker 2: should be there all the time. I know you guys

1093
00:52:43,507 --> 00:52:46,227
Speaker 2: have these discussions until he might coming as any surprise,

1094
00:52:46,987 --> 00:52:48,867
Speaker 2: you know, with the way he plays pretty much everywhere

1095
00:52:48,907 --> 00:52:50,547
Speaker 2: he plays. But he was good on the one jersey

1096
00:52:50,587 --> 00:52:52,987
Speaker 2: last night. You got a view on on on that

1097
00:52:53,147 --> 00:52:55,147
Speaker 2: and how you manage that moving forward as a as

1098
00:52:55,147 --> 00:52:55,867
Speaker 2: a coaching staff.

1099
00:52:56,947 --> 00:52:57,587
Speaker 12: Yeah, he was.

1100
00:52:58,027 --> 00:53:00,427
Speaker 14: It's always awesome to get Roger in the one jersey

1101
00:53:00,467 --> 00:53:02,787
Speaker 14: and you know what he can do with the ball.

1102
00:53:04,387 --> 00:53:06,267
Speaker 14: Thing that a lot of people don't see is just

1103
00:53:07,267 --> 00:53:10,747
Speaker 14: how hard it is defensively getting your line organized and set,

1104
00:53:11,147 --> 00:53:13,787
Speaker 14: which you know, we're blessed to have another couple of

1105
00:53:13,827 --> 00:53:15,667
Speaker 14: really good options here and sometimes you just want to

1106
00:53:15,667 --> 00:53:18,307
Speaker 14: get your best players on the field. So you know,

1107
00:53:18,467 --> 00:53:21,707
Speaker 14: Chance is an elite fallback. He's really good at all

1108
00:53:21,747 --> 00:53:24,427
Speaker 14: the things that people probably don't see but we highly value.

1109
00:53:24,467 --> 00:53:28,027
Speaker 14: So yeah, I don't know how far away he is,

1110
00:53:28,107 --> 00:53:31,627
Speaker 14: but yeah, it's been great getting Roger and closer to

1111
00:53:31,667 --> 00:53:33,747
Speaker 14: the ball and giving him more opportunities.

1112
00:53:34,467 --> 00:53:36,107
Speaker 2: Do you look at the points table? Do you like

1113
00:53:36,187 --> 00:53:38,067
Speaker 2: look at it and do the maths and that sort

1114
00:53:38,107 --> 00:53:40,707
Speaker 2: of thing. Are you the kind of coach who does that?

1115
00:53:40,747 --> 00:53:42,347
Speaker 2: And things like if you win that and then we

1116
00:53:42,387 --> 00:53:44,107
Speaker 2: win that and they lose that, we're in the eight?

1117
00:53:44,467 --> 00:53:45,707
Speaker 3: Do you do the maths on the table?

1118
00:53:47,147 --> 00:53:51,027
Speaker 14: Yeah, I didn't really. It was actually so focused on

1119
00:53:51,187 --> 00:53:54,467
Speaker 14: just that week. I know it's a cliche, but sometimes

1120
00:53:54,467 --> 00:53:56,667
Speaker 14: we didn't even know who we had a week or

1121
00:53:56,667 --> 00:54:00,227
Speaker 14: two away, so you know, I had to have a

1122
00:54:00,227 --> 00:54:02,987
Speaker 14: look to see where we're at, and we addressed it.

1123
00:54:03,747 --> 00:54:05,707
Speaker 14: And the more of the story was we just got

1124
00:54:05,747 --> 00:54:09,547
Speaker 14: to win some footbames. So we're still very processed. Like today,

1125
00:54:09,587 --> 00:54:13,627
Speaker 14: we'll review the game, then we'll have a first training

1126
00:54:13,707 --> 00:54:16,987
Speaker 14: session and then we'll really delve into the eels on Wednesday.

1127
00:54:17,067 --> 00:54:20,507
Speaker 14: So we've got our process we stick to and look,

1128
00:54:20,507 --> 00:54:22,907
Speaker 14: we just got to win games now. But yeah, we're

1129
00:54:22,947 --> 00:54:26,707
Speaker 14: just really excited to play again at Mount's Smart. We

1130
00:54:26,747 --> 00:54:28,867
Speaker 14: haven't had too many games back to back at home,

1131
00:54:28,987 --> 00:54:31,027
Speaker 14: so it's really good time for the boys to freshen

1132
00:54:31,067 --> 00:54:32,867
Speaker 14: their bodies up. It's been some time with their family

1133
00:54:32,907 --> 00:54:34,987
Speaker 14: off the field, and just be ready to go.

1134
00:54:35,547 --> 00:54:36,947
Speaker 2: Actually, another guy I want to ask you about was

1135
00:54:36,987 --> 00:54:39,307
Speaker 2: Mowila Graham Tofa hasn't a lot of a lot of

1136
00:54:39,387 --> 00:54:41,187
Speaker 2: rugby league this year. But when he has played, he's

1137
00:54:41,547 --> 00:54:43,307
Speaker 2: I think he's done a pretty decent job. Set up

1138
00:54:43,307 --> 00:54:46,067
Speaker 2: that last try for Dellan why Tennis alesni act last night.

1139
00:54:46,387 --> 00:54:48,867
Speaker 2: You'd be pleased to see a relatively new guy to

1140
00:54:48,907 --> 00:54:50,467
Speaker 2: the NRL playing like he is.

1141
00:54:51,787 --> 00:54:54,707
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's an awesome stortory. He come back from Obsovie

1142
00:54:55,107 --> 00:54:58,107
Speaker 14: I think is pasting and then did a part time

1143
00:54:58,187 --> 00:55:01,427
Speaker 14: New South Wales Cup and then he ended up going

1144
00:55:01,467 --> 00:55:04,747
Speaker 14: really well there and earning himself in a preseason. And

1145
00:55:04,827 --> 00:55:07,107
Speaker 14: he's played really well at New Southwale Cup again and

1146
00:55:07,107 --> 00:55:10,107
Speaker 14: then he's got two games this year and played really

1147
00:55:10,147 --> 00:55:13,627
Speaker 14: really strong. He's marked up against Hervey Farmworth again in

1148
00:55:13,667 --> 00:55:16,427
Speaker 14: the Dolphins game, did a really good job and he's

1149
00:55:16,427 --> 00:55:19,467
Speaker 14: two from two, so he's obviously doing something right when

1150
00:55:19,507 --> 00:55:22,507
Speaker 14: he's playing for us. But yeah, again like a young

1151
00:55:22,587 --> 00:55:26,787
Speaker 14: kid coming in learning his system, learning his craft. Another

1152
00:55:26,827 --> 00:55:29,507
Speaker 14: preseason is going to be awesome for him to learn

1153
00:55:29,547 --> 00:55:32,907
Speaker 14: the defensive systems and just really nail them. But yeah,

1154
00:55:32,947 --> 00:55:33,907
Speaker 14: it's an awesome story.

1155
00:55:34,507 --> 00:55:37,227
Speaker 2: Well after a game like at night last night, do

1156
00:55:37,587 --> 00:55:39,707
Speaker 2: you like lie wake or do you are you knackred?

1157
00:55:40,067 --> 00:55:40,187
Speaker 11: Like?

1158
00:55:40,347 --> 00:55:42,307
Speaker 3: Do you sleep well after a game, I'm I'm probably

1159
00:55:42,347 --> 00:55:45,387
Speaker 3: better after a win on imagine, Yeah.

1160
00:55:45,507 --> 00:55:50,507
Speaker 14: Better after a win sometimes, Yeah, the adrenaline is still rushing.

1161
00:55:50,667 --> 00:55:53,947
Speaker 14: Sometimes you just exhausted from the highs and lows and

1162
00:55:54,387 --> 00:55:58,747
Speaker 14: like the emotional side of it. Yeah, generally like a

1163
00:55:58,787 --> 00:56:00,627
Speaker 14: couple of coffees before the game as well. Just so

1164
00:56:01,187 --> 00:56:04,027
Speaker 14: alert in the game. But yeah, it's when you're add

1165
00:56:04,027 --> 00:56:06,067
Speaker 14: on the field and you feel the energy of the crowd,

1166
00:56:06,347 --> 00:56:07,987
Speaker 14: you can take a while to wind down. So usually

1167
00:56:08,027 --> 00:56:10,307
Speaker 14: watch a little bit of a game, look at some

1168
00:56:10,347 --> 00:56:13,427
Speaker 14: of the stats and the coaches conferences and just get

1169
00:56:13,427 --> 00:56:16,187
Speaker 14: to go feel for it before. Yeah, but it was

1170
00:56:16,227 --> 00:56:17,947
Speaker 14: good to go to slip on a wind.

1171
00:56:18,587 --> 00:56:18,827
Speaker 9: Nice.

1172
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:20,027

00:57:08,507 --> 00:57:11,947
Speaker 2: a Sunday, as far as the ladder is concerned, And

1190
00:57:11,987 --> 00:57:14,147
Speaker 2: we always talk about how you know you And I

1191
00:57:14,187 --> 00:57:16,227
Speaker 2: said that to Slade Griffin, then you know, do you

1192
00:57:16,227 --> 00:57:17,867
Speaker 2: look at the table and think, okay, well you know

1193
00:57:17,907 --> 00:57:20,787
Speaker 2: where so many points outside the eight, etc. And they've

1194
00:57:20,787 --> 00:57:22,227
Speaker 2: got to play them, and we've got to play this

1195
00:57:22,267 --> 00:57:24,387
Speaker 2: team and all that sort of thing. The Warriors are

1196
00:57:24,427 --> 00:57:28,507
Speaker 2: as we speak right now, in twelfth place. They're on

1197
00:57:28,547 --> 00:57:32,867
Speaker 2: twenty one points, three points outside the top eight. Obviously

1198
00:57:32,867 --> 00:57:34,707
Speaker 2: there are teams quite a few teams above them who

1199
00:57:34,707 --> 00:57:38,147
Speaker 2: have still got to play this weekend. But as it stands,

1200
00:57:38,147 --> 00:57:39,307
Speaker 2: I mean all the Warriors can do is she just

1201
00:57:39,347 --> 00:57:41,067
Speaker 2: keep on winning games. As Slad said, you know that's

1202
00:57:41,067 --> 00:57:43,547
Speaker 2: all you can do. Keep on winning games, hope other

1203
00:57:43,587 --> 00:57:45,627
Speaker 2: things go your way, and then see where you end

1204
00:57:45,707 --> 00:57:48,027
Speaker 2: up at the end of it all. Another home game

1205
00:57:48,467 --> 00:57:51,987
Speaker 2: for the Warriors coming up against the Eels on Friday.

1206
00:57:52,067 --> 00:57:54,747
Speaker 2: Nights are back to back home games. They will have

1207
00:57:54,827 --> 00:57:57,787
Speaker 2: enjoyed last night. I'm sure doesn't seem to matter how

1208
00:57:57,827 --> 00:57:59,947
Speaker 2: the team are going, a lot of people still turn

1209
00:58:00,027 --> 00:58:02,507
Speaker 2: up to watch them, don't they. There's another good atmosphere

1210
00:58:02,547 --> 00:58:05,907
Speaker 2: that looked on tally last night. So the Eels come

1211
00:58:05,907 --> 00:58:08,587
Speaker 2: to town, that is this coming Friday. That might be

1212
00:58:08,867 --> 00:58:11,267
Speaker 2: on It's another eight o'clock. It's another eight o'clocker. So

1213
00:58:11,347 --> 00:58:13,907
Speaker 2: eight o'clock Warriors Eels this coming Friday. If you were there,

1214
00:58:13,947 --> 00:58:16,507
Speaker 2: if you watch, always came for your thoughts on the Warriors.

1215
00:58:16,947 --> 00:58:19,627
Speaker 2: So much talk about Roger in the one jersey when

1216
00:58:19,667 --> 00:58:21,947
Speaker 2: he plays like that. Was that the try the last try,

1217
00:58:22,027 --> 00:58:25,307
Speaker 2: wasn't it Delan hy Tennis LESNIAX one that was started

1218
00:58:25,347 --> 00:58:27,947
Speaker 2: basically in his own end goal just about by Roger

1219
00:58:27,987 --> 00:58:31,107
Speaker 2: tub Varsa Shek when he broke from his own tryline

1220
00:58:31,187 --> 00:58:34,187
Speaker 2: up to half way beat guys, fended them off, did

1221
00:58:34,187 --> 00:58:36,467
Speaker 2: his step. This is in what the seventy eighth minute

1222
00:58:36,547 --> 00:58:39,147
Speaker 2: or something, He's still doing that sort of thing. He

1223
00:58:39,267 --> 00:58:41,107
Speaker 2: just looks so good, isn't in the one jersey?

1224
00:58:41,187 --> 00:58:41,547
Speaker 3: Doesn't he?

1225
00:58:42,347 --> 00:58:45,347
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster doesn't seem like the kind of coach who

1226
00:58:45,387 --> 00:58:48,907
Speaker 2: would not change his mind. You know he's He's said

1227
00:58:48,947 --> 00:58:52,227
Speaker 2: all along that Taine two o' picky is our number

1228
00:58:52,267 --> 00:58:57,307
Speaker 2: one fallback chance. Nikol Klukstar is number two. Roger tu

1229
00:58:57,467 --> 00:59:00,627
Speaker 2: vasa Shek is our third choice full back, not that

1230
00:59:00,667 --> 00:59:03,027
Speaker 2: he's the third best, but we wanted to play in

1231
00:59:03,027 --> 00:59:05,867
Speaker 2: the centers if everybody's fit, But the way he played

1232
00:59:05,907 --> 00:59:07,627
Speaker 2: last night, And I'm not sure what the situation is

1233
00:59:07,667 --> 00:59:11,147
Speaker 2: around Tane two or picks return or even chance to

1234
00:59:11,187 --> 00:59:12,387
Speaker 2: koal klickstars.

1235
00:59:11,907 --> 00:59:15,587
Speaker 3: But you'd be tempted, wouldn't you to play Roger at fullback?

1236
00:59:16,707 --> 00:59:17,467
Speaker 3: Your thoughts so welcome?

1237
00:59:17,507 --> 00:59:20,987
Speaker 2: One twenty five, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marx's

1238
00:59:20,987 --> 00:59:24,187
Speaker 2: Piney gradually getting into the Olympic mood, looking forward to

1239
00:59:24,227 --> 00:59:27,187
Speaker 2: some kei wee gold. My favorite athlete down the years

1240
00:59:27,227 --> 00:59:30,387
Speaker 2: has to be Michael Johnson. I loved his style and

1241
00:59:30,427 --> 00:59:32,947
Speaker 2: his speed Yeah, he was a He had a very

1242
00:59:33,027 --> 00:59:35,307
Speaker 2: odd running style, didn't he. Michael Johnson, He kind of

1243
00:59:35,347 --> 00:59:37,827
Speaker 2: stuck his chest out as he ran. Looked quite awkward,

1244
00:59:37,867 --> 00:59:41,147
Speaker 2: but man, he was quick. Speaking of Sprince's text, I'm

1245
00:59:41,147 --> 00:59:43,307
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing the one hundred and two hundred

1246
00:59:43,307 --> 00:59:47,347
Speaker 2: meters sprints. Noah Lyles from the United States hilarious in

1247
00:59:47,387 --> 00:59:50,587
Speaker 2: his media interviews, and no doubt the fastest man alive

1248
00:59:50,707 --> 00:59:52,107
Speaker 2: is gunning for a new world record.

1249
00:59:53,547 --> 00:59:56,067
Speaker 3: Peter asks what the tennis being played on clay? Does

1250
00:59:56,107 --> 00:59:58,667
Speaker 3: that perhaps disadvantage our players? Yeah?

1251
00:59:58,707 --> 01:00:01,827
Speaker 2: I guess lu Lusawn and Aaron Ratliff don't play a

1252
01:00:01,827 --> 01:00:02,587
Speaker 2: lot on clay.

1253
01:00:03,587 --> 01:00:04,667
Speaker 3: No one does, really don't do.

1254
01:00:04,747 --> 01:00:04,907
Speaker 14: Though.

1255
01:00:05,147 --> 01:00:07,747
Speaker 2: You know the clay court see is a fairly small

1256
01:00:07,787 --> 01:00:11,787
Speaker 2: part of the international tennis year. But I guess if

1257
01:00:11,827 --> 01:00:14,107
Speaker 2: you had your choice, you'd play on hard courts. Who knows,

1258
01:00:14,507 --> 01:00:17,467
Speaker 2: maybe it'll be to their advantage. And Richard said Jason,

1259
01:00:17,507 --> 01:00:20,187
Speaker 2: when does the All Black squad get named? Richard, I

1270
01:00:52,227 --> 01:00:55,387
Speaker 2: Wild is racing in the triathlon. The triathlon is on

1271
01:00:55,547 --> 01:00:58,747
Speaker 2: Tuesday at six o'clock in the evening New Zealand times,

1272
01:00:58,747 --> 01:01:01,787
Speaker 2: a very friendly time on this side of the world

1273
01:01:01,827 --> 01:01:05,947
Speaker 2: to watch the men's triathlon Hayden Wild and Dylan McCulloch,

1274
01:01:06,387 --> 01:01:08,867
Speaker 2: the two New Zealanders. Hayden Wild, though I said this

1275
01:01:08,947 --> 01:01:12,227
Speaker 2: to Jack Tame earlier, is a genuine gold medal chance

1276
01:01:12,827 --> 01:01:16,707
Speaker 2: in the individual men's triathlon. So six o'clock on Tuesday

1277
01:01:17,347 --> 01:01:20,187
Speaker 2: is when you need to be available to listen to that.

1278
01:01:20,547 --> 01:01:23,187
Speaker 2: We'll have it for you on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.

1279
01:01:23,467 --> 01:01:25,987
Speaker 2: Aiden says, I get the principle of not spying on

1280
01:01:26,027 --> 01:01:29,227
Speaker 2: other teams, but I wonder what the Canadians might have

1281
01:01:29,347 --> 01:01:32,587
Speaker 2: learned that they couldn't have learned from watching footage from

1282
01:01:32,587 --> 01:01:36,147
Speaker 2: recent White Ferns matches football fans it is, of course,

1283
01:01:36,187 --> 01:01:40,747
Speaker 2: are the real drone issue, says Aiden, is not the

1284
01:01:40,747 --> 01:01:43,347
Speaker 2: one flying above a practice, but the drone of the

1285
01:01:43,387 --> 01:01:46,267
Speaker 2: New Zealand media and public who think this might have

1286
01:01:46,307 --> 01:01:48,427
Speaker 2: had a material impact on the outcome of the match.

1287
01:01:48,987 --> 01:01:51,227
Speaker 2: Please can we not add this to the folklore of

1288
01:01:51,267 --> 01:01:55,267
Speaker 2: New Zealand sport alongside South African Suzi and the Aussie underarm.

1289
01:01:55,267 --> 01:01:56,867
Speaker 2: Thanks At, and yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll get added

1290
01:01:56,867 --> 01:02:02,587
Speaker 2: to that. You're right, though, I said. I wrote a

1291
01:02:02,587 --> 01:02:05,547
Speaker 2: piece for The Herald during the week and said, if

1292
01:02:05,587 --> 01:02:07,747
Speaker 2: you're going to spy on anybody, why would you spy

1293
01:02:07,827 --> 01:02:10,387
Speaker 2: on the football Ferns. With all due respect to them,

1294
01:02:11,107 --> 01:02:14,867
Speaker 2: Canada have some far bigger fish to fry at the

1295
01:02:14,867 --> 01:02:17,387
Speaker 2: Olympic Football Tournament than New Zealand, who, as I say,

1296
01:02:17,387 --> 01:02:21,067
Speaker 2: with all due respect, are not their stiffest competition. But

1297
01:02:21,147 --> 01:02:23,267
Speaker 2: that of course leads into the question as to whether

1298
01:02:23,547 --> 01:02:26,907
Speaker 2: actually they've been spying on all the teams and it

1299
01:02:26,947 --> 01:02:30,987
Speaker 2: was just New Zealand's drone detection that was more finely

1300
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:33,747
Speaker 2: tuned than the others. And there's been a lot of

1301
01:02:33,747 --> 01:02:36,107
Speaker 2: talk recently in the last couple of days about whether

1302
01:02:36,187 --> 01:02:39,027
Speaker 2: this is actually something that's been going on for some time,

1303
01:02:39,347 --> 01:02:42,147
Speaker 2: not just at this Olympic Games, but across the last

1304
01:02:42,187 --> 01:02:46,107
Speaker 2: two or three years in Canadian football. Bev Priestman, the

1305
01:02:46,187 --> 01:02:47,827
Speaker 2: head coach, has now been sent home. You would have

1306
01:02:47,827 --> 01:02:49,427
Speaker 2: picked up on this news yesterday. So it's not as

1307
01:02:49,507 --> 01:02:53,347
Speaker 2: it's just one guy going rogue. It's something that perhaps

1308
01:02:53,347 --> 01:02:58,307
Speaker 2: has existed in Canadian football for quite some time. Oh

1309
01:02:58,307 --> 01:03:00,467
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you have of

1310
01:03:00,507 --> 01:03:03,467
Speaker 2: you speaking of football, let's get you to Marseille and

1311
01:03:03,507 --> 01:03:06,587
Speaker 2: into the Ollie Whites football camp. This is our men's team.

1312
01:03:06,627 --> 01:03:09,227
Speaker 2: They opened with a two to one win over Guinea

1313
01:03:09,307 --> 01:03:09,987
Speaker 2: on Thursday.

1314
01:03:10,147 --> 01:03:12,347
Speaker 3: Nice little all forward into the path of Bayless.

1315
01:03:12,427 --> 01:03:15,467
Speaker 16: Here's Lochland Bayless sides and so waste New Zealand.

1316
01:03:15,507 --> 01:03:15,947
Speaker 12: Two one.

1317
01:03:16,427 --> 01:03:19,827
Speaker 16: Ben Wayne has put them back in front. But give

1318
01:03:19,947 --> 01:03:22,907
Speaker 16: huge credit to Lochland Bayless who won the ball on

1319
01:03:22,947 --> 01:03:25,307
Speaker 16: the edge of the penalty area, gone away from a defender,

1320
01:03:25,387 --> 01:03:29,387
Speaker 16: squdit and Ben Wayne with a finished into the roof

1321
01:03:29,427 --> 01:03:30,307
Speaker 16: of Guinea's net.

1322
01:03:30,387 --> 01:03:32,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, a really good start for the Ollie Whites. They

1323
01:03:32,787 --> 01:03:36,307
Speaker 2: faced the United States in game two tomorrow morning at

1324
01:03:36,307 --> 01:03:39,667
Speaker 2: five o'clock. Defender Finn's sermon is with us out of

1325
01:03:39,707 --> 01:03:42,587
Speaker 2: the Oli Whites camp in Marseille, before we talk about

1326
01:03:42,587 --> 01:03:44,947
Speaker 2: the game against the US fin How pleasing was it

1327
01:03:45,227 --> 01:03:47,467
Speaker 2: to get a first up win against Guinea? How pleased

1328
01:03:47,467 --> 01:03:50,147
Speaker 2: were you with that and with the performance of the side.

1329
01:03:50,747 --> 01:03:53,347
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think the team was extremely pleased. I think

1330
01:03:54,387 --> 01:03:57,547
Speaker 17: a first a first game result is very important, especially

1331
01:03:57,587 --> 01:04:01,267
Speaker 17: in tournament football. It's kind of sets the team up positively,

1332
01:04:01,347 --> 01:04:05,307
Speaker 17: and I think all the boys are just pretty pretty buzzing,

1333
01:04:05,347 --> 01:04:08,827
Speaker 17: to be honest, to get that result, and it instills

1334
01:04:08,987 --> 01:04:11,707
Speaker 17: a lot of belief within the squad and that's something

1335
01:04:11,707 --> 01:04:13,467
Speaker 17: that we can take forward throughout the tournament.

1336
01:04:13,867 --> 01:04:16,947
Speaker 2: You were one nil up until the seventy second minute

1337
01:04:17,347 --> 01:04:20,107
Speaker 2: getting equalized, but then it didn't take long for you

1338
01:04:20,147 --> 01:04:22,547
Speaker 2: guys to go ahead again. How pleasing was that ability

1339
01:04:22,627 --> 01:04:25,947
Speaker 2: to score the second goal so quickly after they had

1340
01:04:26,347 --> 01:04:27,467
Speaker 2: drawn at level at one all.

1341
01:04:29,067 --> 01:04:32,387
Speaker 17: Yeah, No, that was fantastic from the team, to be honest,

1342
01:04:32,387 --> 01:04:37,467
Speaker 17: I think it can be difficult to regroup yourselves after

1343
01:04:37,467 --> 01:04:39,467
Speaker 17: you concede a goal, especially after you've just been up

1344
01:04:39,507 --> 01:04:42,467
Speaker 17: one kneel, But I think, I mean, it's not necessarily

1345
01:04:42,467 --> 01:04:45,067
Speaker 17: a cliche, but it shows a lot of character within

1346
01:04:45,107 --> 01:04:47,187
Speaker 17: the team to be able to concede and then go

1347
01:04:47,267 --> 01:04:49,467
Speaker 17: straight back up the other end and score with and

1348
01:04:49,827 --> 01:04:52,387
Speaker 17: like I said, within five minutes. So yeah, it kind

1349
01:04:52,427 --> 01:04:55,747
Speaker 17: of just speaks about the team and the quality and

1350
01:04:55,747 --> 01:04:56,987
Speaker 17: and the character within the group.

1351
01:04:57,547 --> 01:05:00,427
Speaker 2: Apart from the goal you conceded, how comfortable did you

1352
01:05:00,467 --> 01:05:01,947
Speaker 2: feel defensively?

1353
01:05:04,107 --> 01:05:05,667
Speaker 7: I felt pretty comfortable.

1354
01:05:05,747 --> 01:05:07,667
Speaker 17: I mean helps when he got Alex behind you and

1355
01:05:07,747 --> 01:05:09,427
Speaker 17: you know he's going to make a few saves that

1356
01:05:09,587 --> 01:05:10,627
Speaker 17: some people might not make.

1357
01:05:11,587 --> 01:05:13,947
Speaker 7: So yeah, he was calledy the other day. And to

1358
01:05:13,987 --> 01:05:15,107
Speaker 7: be honest, like.

1359
01:05:16,147 --> 01:05:19,667
Speaker 17: Defending, defending is is kind of what you make of it.

1360
01:05:19,707 --> 01:05:22,547
Speaker 17: I think we work on how we're going to defend

1361
01:05:22,587 --> 01:05:25,187
Speaker 17: and what we want to do in different situations. And

1362
01:05:25,867 --> 01:05:27,907
Speaker 17: I feel pretty comfortable defending, and I'm sure a lot

1363
01:05:27,947 --> 01:05:30,107
Speaker 17: of other defenders do as well, because that at the

1364
01:05:30,187 --> 01:05:31,867
Speaker 17: end of the day, that's kind of a it's our

1365
01:05:31,947 --> 01:05:34,667
Speaker 17: job to defend the goal. And yeah, I think I

1366
01:05:34,707 --> 01:05:37,307
Speaker 17: was proud of everyone within the within the team, to

1367
01:05:37,347 --> 01:05:39,467
Speaker 17: be honest, for the defensive performance that they put.

1368
01:05:39,747 --> 01:05:43,347
Speaker 2: You talked about Alex Paulson another standout in goal from him.

1369
01:05:43,387 --> 01:05:45,707
Speaker 2: We're kind of getting used to this. You came through

1370
01:05:45,707 --> 01:05:48,067
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Academy with him, of course, did did it

1371
01:05:48,107 --> 01:05:51,027
Speaker 2: always feel like he had a high ceiling when you

1372
01:05:51,067 --> 01:05:53,147
Speaker 2: were you know, when you were young players or younger

1373
01:05:53,307 --> 01:05:54,787
Speaker 2: players playing together.

1374
01:05:56,067 --> 01:05:59,987
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's an interesting question because I've never really thought

1375
01:05:59,987 --> 01:06:03,707
Speaker 17: about it. I think even at the time when we

1376
01:06:04,107 --> 01:06:07,227
Speaker 17: play together, the kind of the goal was just just

1377
01:06:07,347 --> 01:06:07,627
Speaker 17: kind of.

1378
01:06:07,627 --> 01:06:08,227
Speaker 7: The next step.

1379
01:06:09,027 --> 01:06:11,347
Speaker 17: So we're in the reserves, it was getting into the

1380
01:06:11,347 --> 01:06:13,587
Speaker 17: first team, and then getting into the first team, it

1381
01:06:13,627 --> 01:06:15,587
Speaker 17: was then trying to get game time, and then from

1382
01:06:15,667 --> 01:06:18,547
Speaker 17: there so on and so on. But so so I

1383
01:06:18,667 --> 01:06:21,547
Speaker 17: would never say I really thought about it from a

1384
01:06:21,587 --> 01:06:24,147
Speaker 17: younger age. But I mean, it's it's clear the quality

1385
01:06:24,187 --> 01:06:24,747
Speaker 17: that he's got.

1386
01:06:26,187 --> 01:06:28,307
Speaker 2: Several of this team, of course, had time playing together

1387
01:06:28,347 --> 01:06:30,907
Speaker 2: at the at the recent OFC Nations Cup. How has

1388
01:06:30,947 --> 01:06:33,867
Speaker 2: that been helpful in terms of, you know, forging some connections.

1389
01:06:33,907 --> 01:06:35,507
Speaker 2: I know you know these guys pretty well, but was

1390
01:06:35,507 --> 01:06:40,747
Speaker 2: it helpful having that time together in the Islands.

1391
01:06:40,827 --> 01:06:44,227
Speaker 17: Just like you say, as much time on the pitch together,

1392
01:06:44,307 --> 01:06:47,427
Speaker 17: you're able to form more connections and and and create

1393
01:06:48,027 --> 01:06:50,987
Speaker 17: create partnerships with players in and around you and within

1394
01:06:51,027 --> 01:06:53,547
Speaker 17: the squad. And I think both off the pitch and

1395
01:06:53,587 --> 01:06:55,947
Speaker 17: off the pitch. That benefits the team, especially in a

1396
01:06:55,947 --> 01:06:58,827
Speaker 17: tournament like this. Yeah, the Nation's Cup was was great

1397
01:06:58,827 --> 01:07:01,627
Speaker 17: experience for a lot of US boys to get more

1398
01:07:01,867 --> 01:07:03,707
Speaker 17: time on the pitch together as well as off it.

1399
01:07:04,067 --> 01:07:04,267
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1400
01:07:04,267 --> 01:07:06,067
Speaker 2: And while there are you know a number of guys

1401
01:07:06,067 --> 01:07:08,187
Speaker 2: you know, well, there's a couple of new faces. Lachland

1402
01:07:08,227 --> 01:07:10,507
Speaker 2: Bayless as a guy who's who's new to the to

1403
01:07:10,547 --> 01:07:12,947
Speaker 2: the setup or relatively new at a big part to

1404
01:07:12,987 --> 01:07:16,227
Speaker 2: play in Ben Wayne's goal. How do you quickly integrate

1405
01:07:16,267 --> 01:07:19,867
Speaker 2: a new player like that into the into the international scene.

1406
01:07:20,947 --> 01:07:22,467
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think it's I think it's good that you

1407
01:07:22,467 --> 01:07:25,147
Speaker 17: bring lock you up because I've only I've only played

1408
01:07:25,187 --> 01:07:28,627
Speaker 17: against him prior to this camp and honestly, he's fitting

1409
01:07:28,667 --> 01:07:31,347
Speaker 17: so well to our squad and you see it in

1410
01:07:31,347 --> 01:07:33,667
Speaker 17: the weekend or not on the weekend, sorry, in the game,

1411
01:07:35,067 --> 01:07:36,627
Speaker 17: just how much of an impact he can have on

1412
01:07:36,747 --> 01:07:39,347
Speaker 17: a game. And you know, to be honest, I was

1413
01:07:39,387 --> 01:07:41,227
Speaker 17: super proud of the way that he's he's come in.

1414
01:07:41,267 --> 01:07:44,227
Speaker 17: You know, I think at some time ago he might

1415
01:07:44,267 --> 01:07:46,787
Speaker 17: have been a traveling reserve or maybe not even in

1416
01:07:46,787 --> 01:07:48,867
Speaker 17: the squad, and now he's come in, started our first game,

1417
01:07:48,907 --> 01:07:51,627
Speaker 17: and provided the assist for us to for us to

1418
01:07:51,667 --> 01:07:52,147
Speaker 17: win the game.

1419
01:07:52,187 --> 01:07:54,947
Speaker 7: And you know, I'm incredibly prout of him, but also

1420
01:07:55,027 --> 01:07:55,667
Speaker 7: the boys.

1421
01:07:55,387 --> 01:07:58,227
Speaker 17: For for getting around him and welcoming into the squad.

1422
01:07:58,667 --> 01:08:00,347
Speaker 17: I mean, he's made it easy for us because he's

1423
01:08:00,347 --> 01:08:03,227
Speaker 17: he's such a likable guy and he puts himself out there,

1424
01:08:03,267 --> 01:08:05,187
Speaker 17: which which is just fantastic for our group.

1425
01:08:05,187 --> 01:08:06,267
Speaker 7: And he's a he's a great addition.

1426
01:08:06,987 --> 01:08:09,627
Speaker 3: And how nice to have sarpreach thing on board as well.

1427
01:08:09,627 --> 01:08:11,067
Speaker 2: I don't know that you would have played a heck

1428
01:08:11,107 --> 01:08:13,467
Speaker 2: of a lot of international football with Sarpred.

1429
01:08:13,507 --> 01:08:15,747
Speaker 3: How nice to have a player like him and the team.

1430
01:08:16,507 --> 01:08:18,587
Speaker 17: Yeah, I haven't. I haven't played a lot with him.

1431
01:08:18,587 --> 01:08:20,227
Speaker 17: I've been on a couple a couple of tours with

1432
01:08:20,307 --> 01:08:23,867
Speaker 17: him before. But you know, it's again, it's clear the

1433
01:08:23,947 --> 01:08:26,187
Speaker 17: quality that he has and the quality that he brings

1434
01:08:26,227 --> 01:08:28,787
Speaker 17: to to this team. He's a different type of player

1435
01:08:28,787 --> 01:08:32,027
Speaker 17: that there aren't many of. So the quality that he

1436
01:08:32,107 --> 01:08:35,547
Speaker 17: brings to us is very important. And when he turns

1437
01:08:35,547 --> 01:08:38,107
Speaker 17: it on, he seriously turns it on. So yeah, we're

1438
01:08:38,427 --> 01:08:41,467
Speaker 17: very fortunate to have him, and he's he's also been

1439
01:08:41,507 --> 01:08:43,027
Speaker 17: a great leader for our team and a lot of

1440
01:08:43,027 --> 01:08:46,187
Speaker 17: boys looked to him during games but also off the pitch,

1441
01:08:46,227 --> 01:08:48,627
Speaker 17: and I think I think he's fantastic for our team.

1442
01:08:48,787 --> 01:08:50,787
Speaker 3: All right, game two to look forward to.

1443
01:08:50,867 --> 01:08:53,627
Speaker 2: Now, how different a challenge do you expect the United

1444
01:08:53,627 --> 01:08:54,147
Speaker 2: States to be?

1445
01:08:55,747 --> 01:09:00,147
Speaker 17: Yeah, I expect the United States to be to be fast, strong, physical,

1446
01:09:00,587 --> 01:09:02,747
Speaker 17: but also also good footballers. They've got a lot of

1447
01:09:02,787 --> 01:09:07,027
Speaker 17: players playing in good leagues around the world, and and and.

1448
01:09:06,827 --> 01:09:07,787
Speaker 7: We know there'll be a test.

1449
01:09:07,827 --> 01:09:11,187
Speaker 17: And I know they had an unfortunate result against against France,

1450
01:09:11,187 --> 01:09:14,107
Speaker 17: and I think that scoreline potentially didn't do them justice.

1451
01:09:15,187 --> 01:09:17,547
Speaker 17: So look, I'm really looking forward to playing against them

1452
01:09:17,547 --> 01:09:19,787
Speaker 17: because I think they'll be a great test for our team.

1453
01:09:20,067 --> 01:09:21,187
Speaker 3: We're looking forward to it as well.

1454
01:09:21,227 --> 01:09:23,107
Speaker 2: And speaking of the United States, that's where you'll be

1455
01:09:23,147 --> 01:09:25,267
Speaker 2: living from now on for the next little while. Anyway,

1456
01:09:25,747 --> 01:09:28,227
Speaker 2: securing a move to the to the Portland Timbers, can

1457
01:09:28,267 --> 01:09:30,427
Speaker 2: you just tell us briefly how that all played out?

1458
01:09:31,747 --> 01:09:34,827
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean kind of happened quite fast, I think

1459
01:09:35,707 --> 01:09:37,547
Speaker 17: on my end, having quite fast. I had a few

1460
01:09:37,547 --> 01:09:41,947
Speaker 17: conversations with some technical staff on their end, and then

1461
01:09:42,267 --> 01:09:43,147
Speaker 17: spoke spoke.

1462
01:09:42,947 --> 01:09:45,947
Speaker 7: To the coaching staff a couple of times and kind of.

1463
01:09:46,107 --> 01:09:48,307
Speaker 17: Really liked what they were saying and the ideas behind

1464
01:09:48,387 --> 01:09:52,987
Speaker 17: what they were doing, and yeah, went over there a

1465
01:09:52,987 --> 01:09:56,907
Speaker 17: few days before the Olympics to check everything out and

1466
01:09:57,027 --> 01:10:00,987
Speaker 17: sign everything off and yeah, no, I'm I'm I'm excited

1467
01:10:01,067 --> 01:10:04,947
Speaker 17: to be a part of their club now. Like John,

1468
01:10:04,987 --> 01:10:08,467
Speaker 17: I'm completely focused on on the Olympics first and trying

1469
01:10:08,507 --> 01:10:10,747
Speaker 17: to do as well for this team as possible. But

1470
01:10:10,787 --> 01:10:13,147
Speaker 17: then I know that in the back of my mind

1471
01:10:13,187 --> 01:10:15,547
Speaker 17: that Portland's going to be there, and I'm excited to

1472
01:10:15,547 --> 01:10:16,467
Speaker 17: get going with him as well.

1473
01:10:16,707 --> 01:10:18,347
Speaker 2: And I guess it brings to an end a pretty

1474
01:10:18,347 --> 01:10:21,107
Speaker 2: significant chapter in your football career and your life as well.

1475
01:10:21,147 --> 01:10:23,747
Speaker 2: And that's your time at Wellington Phoenix, which is uh

1476
01:10:24,067 --> 01:10:25,867
Speaker 2: which see if goes back a few years now, but

1477
01:10:25,907 --> 01:10:28,027
Speaker 2: you're still a very young player. How do you reflect

1478
01:10:28,067 --> 01:10:30,147
Speaker 2: on your time at Wellington Phoenix.

1479
01:10:31,507 --> 01:10:32,827
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've lived in Wellington.

1480
01:10:32,987 --> 01:10:35,387
Speaker 17: I lived in Wellington for about five years, so that

1481
01:10:35,547 --> 01:10:37,787
Speaker 17: was that's the call of my life. So it is

1482
01:10:37,787 --> 01:10:40,947
Speaker 17: a it is a pretty big, pretty big chapter. I

1483
01:10:41,267 --> 01:10:43,867
Speaker 17: thoroughly enjoyed my time in Wellington. I think the last

1484
01:10:43,987 --> 01:10:46,227
Speaker 17: year that I had was probably the best year of

1485
01:10:46,227 --> 01:10:50,467
Speaker 17: my life. It's yeah, there was there was ups and

1486
01:10:50,587 --> 01:10:53,707
Speaker 17: downs throughout my time in Wellington, but you know, last

1487
01:10:53,747 --> 01:10:56,547
Speaker 17: year there's only got I've only got fond memories of it.

1488
01:10:58,267 --> 01:10:59,027
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

1489
01:10:59,067 --> 01:10:59,747
Speaker 7: It was fantastic.

1490
01:10:59,747 --> 01:11:01,267
Speaker 17: I think I grew a lot as a as a

1491
01:11:01,267 --> 01:11:05,667
Speaker 17: football player, but also as a person. And then just

1492
01:11:05,707 --> 01:11:07,827
Speaker 17: super grateful for the club for what they've done for

1493
01:11:07,907 --> 01:11:09,827
Speaker 17: me and the opportunities they provided for me.

1494
01:11:09,987 --> 01:11:10,187

01:12:51,027 --> 01:12:53,307
Speaker 2: were involved in coverage of the opening ceremony.

1534
01:12:53,547 --> 01:12:54,627
Speaker 3: How did you enjoy it?

1535
01:12:55,347 --> 01:12:58,867
Speaker 12: Yeah, good o pony, it was, I may mention on

1536
01:12:58,907 --> 01:13:00,787
Speaker 12: our show. Actually it wasn't so much a ceremony but

1537
01:13:00,867 --> 01:13:04,707
Speaker 12: to an extravaganza which you don't really come to expect

1538
01:13:04,707 --> 01:13:07,827
Speaker 12: anything else from the French. And oh they put it

1539
01:13:07,827 --> 01:13:10,387
Speaker 12: on a show. I looked at it logistically and thinking,

1540
01:13:10,467 --> 01:13:11,747
Speaker 12: how the hell are they going to pull this off?

1541
01:13:11,867 --> 01:13:15,187
Speaker 12: Boats going everywhere, here, there and everywhere, but mook spectacular

1542
01:13:15,267 --> 01:13:20,747
Speaker 12: or spectacular. The French like to be unique, like to

1543
01:13:20,787 --> 01:13:22,867
Speaker 12: be standard set as in style, and they lived up

1544
01:13:22,907 --> 01:13:26,107
Speaker 12: to all of those accusations, if you want to call

1545
01:13:26,147 --> 01:13:29,787
Speaker 12: those reputations. With what they laid on. It was unreal.

1546
01:13:30,107 --> 01:13:32,947
Speaker 2: So the pageantry is over and the sport can begin.

1547
01:13:33,027 --> 01:13:36,587
Speaker 2: It already has begun, of course for various sporting teams.

1548
01:13:36,587 --> 01:13:38,307
Speaker 2: And I want to talk about the Matilda's in a moment,

1549
01:13:38,347 --> 01:13:42,347
Speaker 2: But what are Australian expectations ahead of the Olympic Games,

1550
01:13:42,427 --> 01:13:46,187
Speaker 2: like the people have a middle Talian mind. How do

1551
01:13:46,227 --> 01:13:48,507
Speaker 2: Australians approach in Olympic Games.

1552
01:13:49,067 --> 01:13:52,987
Speaker 12: Yeah, they talk metals, They get excited, very patriotic, very

1553
01:13:53,267 --> 01:13:57,107
Speaker 12: biased as you are during an Olympic Games. For me,

1554
01:13:57,187 --> 01:13:59,027
Speaker 12: I try to take a bit of a step back

1555
01:13:59,067 --> 01:14:00,827
Speaker 12: and think, well, I don't like to put an actual

1556
01:14:00,947 --> 01:14:03,107
Speaker 12: figure on it like you used to get. I like

1557
01:14:03,147 --> 01:14:06,347
Speaker 12: to go wide with like, okay, let's try and hopefully

1558
01:14:06,347 --> 01:14:08,907
Speaker 12: we were in between forty and sixty medals, whereas pinning

1559
01:14:09,107 --> 01:14:10,827
Speaker 12: an exact number on it. Because the worst thing you

1560
01:14:10,827 --> 01:14:12,987
Speaker 12: want to come away from an Olympics is if someone

1561
01:14:13,027 --> 01:14:15,307
Speaker 12: doesn't let up to it for any old reason. And

1562
01:14:15,547 --> 01:14:17,627
Speaker 12: luck can play a part in some events, and just

1563
01:14:17,747 --> 01:14:20,627
Speaker 12: someone being better on a day, or maybe you just

1564
01:14:20,667 --> 01:14:24,507
Speaker 12: didn't perform your best for any old reason. Calling that

1565
01:14:24,587 --> 01:14:26,867
Speaker 12: a failure I think is really really hard for some

1566
01:14:26,907 --> 01:14:30,667
Speaker 12: of these athletes train without funding, without putting their lives,

1567
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:35,027
Speaker 12: livelihoods on whole to chase their dream. Talking about the

1568
01:14:36,027 --> 01:14:40,147
Speaker 12: top end of town with your well paid athletes, I'm

1569
01:14:40,187 --> 01:14:42,107
Speaker 12: talking the majority of the four hundred and sixty are

1570
01:14:42,107 --> 01:14:45,187
Speaker 12: going for Australia. It's their moment, so yeah, it's just

1571
01:14:45,227 --> 01:14:47,307
Speaker 12: going along with them and enjoying all the sport.

1572
01:14:47,387 --> 01:14:50,747
Speaker 2: And the swimming gets underway nice and early night one

1573
01:14:50,787 --> 01:14:54,787
Speaker 2: off swimming action tonight for I can talk in similar

1574
01:14:54,787 --> 01:14:55,507
Speaker 2: time zones, can't.

1575
01:14:55,547 --> 01:14:56,547
Speaker 3: I just a couple of hours to it.

1576
01:14:57,267 --> 01:15:01,067
Speaker 2: So is the pool a place where the United States

1577
01:15:01,147 --> 01:15:04,027
Speaker 2: are in Australia's sites? Is there there's little mini battle

1578
01:15:04,227 --> 01:15:07,707
Speaker 2: Australia against the United States within the overall Olympic swim

1579
01:15:07,747 --> 01:15:09,267
Speaker 2: program there is.

1580
01:15:09,707 --> 01:15:13,187
Speaker 12: I can't see us toppling the US on the metal Taley.

1581
01:15:13,387 --> 01:15:15,107
Speaker 12: I'd be very surprised if we did. I think it's

1582
01:15:15,107 --> 01:15:16,747
Speaker 12: going to go back to nine point sixties for US

1583
01:15:16,747 --> 01:15:20,987
Speaker 12: to have more goal than the US. But they've just

1584
01:15:20,987 --> 01:15:24,827
Speaker 12: got more depth. Like we were good in certain events

1585
01:15:24,947 --> 01:15:27,387
Speaker 12: and a lot of events, but the US they're pretty

1586
01:15:27,467 --> 01:15:30,547
Speaker 12: much there or thereabouts in just about every single event.

1587
01:15:30,587 --> 01:15:32,507
Speaker 12: So we just don't have their depth. And they're so

1588
01:15:32,627 --> 01:15:35,107
Speaker 12: good because they've got more personally, more people to choose from,

1589
01:15:35,187 --> 01:15:37,467
Speaker 12: and secondly a really good collegiate system where they develop

1590
01:15:37,507 --> 01:15:39,747
Speaker 12: a lot of their swimmer. So yeah, if we can

1591
01:15:39,787 --> 01:15:42,787
Speaker 12: get close to them, that's a great result for Australia

1592
01:15:42,827 --> 01:15:45,907
Speaker 12: and I think half, if not more than half of

1593
01:15:45,947 --> 01:15:48,467
Speaker 12: our gold medals is going to come from the pool.

1594
01:15:48,587 --> 01:15:50,827
Speaker 12: So that's a big watch for us in the first week.

1595
01:15:50,947 --> 01:15:53,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to the swimming. Are the Matildas, as

1596
01:15:53,507 --> 01:15:56,587
Speaker 2: I say, already underway. Are our men's and women's football insides.

1597
01:15:56,707 --> 01:15:59,867
Speaker 2: I watched the Matildas against Germany yesterday.

1598
01:15:59,107 --> 01:16:01,267
Speaker 9: I was I mean, I.

1599
01:16:01,307 --> 01:16:04,987
Speaker 2: Actually really enjoyed the game of football. But Germany, I

1600
01:16:04,987 --> 01:16:07,867
Speaker 2: don't know. I'll ask for you're analysis. It was a

1601
01:16:07,907 --> 01:16:10,667
Speaker 2: fairly comprehensive display from Germany. What did you make of

1602
01:16:10,667 --> 01:16:11,707
Speaker 2: Australia's performance?

1603
01:16:12,387 --> 01:16:15,067
Speaker 12: No, not up to scratch for that level. If you're

1604
01:16:15,067 --> 01:16:17,027
Speaker 12: going to expect to get something out of a world

1605
01:16:17,067 --> 01:16:19,667
Speaker 12: coach well drilled German side with some class players, you

1606
01:16:20,467 --> 01:16:23,147
Speaker 12: can't play like that, and they know that they've got

1607
01:16:23,147 --> 01:16:27,027
Speaker 12: to improve. I think tactically the Germans played Australia perfectly.

1608
01:16:27,107 --> 01:16:29,227
Speaker 12: They didn't try and press this they say, in what's

1609
01:16:29,227 --> 01:16:31,427
Speaker 12: called a mid block. So basically they go back to

1610
01:16:32,747 --> 01:16:35,587
Speaker 12: the middle of the pitch and just let Australia play

1611
01:16:35,627 --> 01:16:37,067
Speaker 12: around with the ball at the back and then make

1612
01:16:37,107 --> 01:16:40,747
Speaker 12: decisions that ultimately nine times out of ten didn't come

1613
01:16:40,747 --> 01:16:43,147
Speaker 12: off and then it set pieces. They were just sleepy

1614
01:16:43,187 --> 01:16:49,267
Speaker 12: and scored off two corners Germany, so yeah, it's a

1615
01:16:49,267 --> 01:16:51,987
Speaker 12: wake up cool. Tony get Staff has said that minutes

1616
01:16:52,027 --> 01:16:54,147
Speaker 12: after the final whistle and it's hard to disagree forty

1617
01:16:54,147 --> 01:16:56,827
Speaker 12: eight hours on. So yeah, they need to sharpen up

1618
01:16:56,867 --> 01:16:58,707
Speaker 12: against Zambia otherwise the whole thing is going to be

1619
01:16:58,747 --> 01:17:00,187
Speaker 12: over real quickly and they've got to have a big

1620
01:17:00,227 --> 01:17:02,187
Speaker 12: win against Zambia because the goal difference and trying to

1621
01:17:02,227 --> 01:17:04,107
Speaker 12: get through to the next phase. But well done to

1622
01:17:04,107 --> 01:17:06,787
Speaker 12: the Kiwi boys. I watched it on that one. Was

1623
01:17:06,827 --> 01:17:07,547
Speaker 12: that Ben Wayne?

1624
01:17:07,867 --> 01:17:11,627
Speaker 3: Yeah it was the Wayne train. Yes, indeed, yep, that.

1625
01:17:11,707 --> 01:17:13,867
Speaker 12: Was a good to see them get a win. Hopefully

1626
01:17:13,907 --> 01:17:16,187
Speaker 12: they can go on with it. The US will be

1627
01:17:16,667 --> 01:17:18,907
Speaker 12: tricky but not unbeatable in the next one, so it'd

1628
01:17:18,947 --> 01:17:20,827
Speaker 12: be good to see the Kiwi men and the women

1629
01:17:20,867 --> 01:17:21,507
Speaker 12: over there as well.

1630
01:17:21,547 --> 01:17:21,907
Speaker 9: Of course.

1631
01:17:22,067 --> 01:17:26,547
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's the Canadian spying with a drone story landed

1632
01:17:26,547 --> 01:17:27,587
Speaker 3: in your consciousness.

1633
01:17:27,947 --> 01:17:30,707
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, because it's so dramatic. Bet priestman that their

1634
01:17:30,707 --> 01:17:34,147
Speaker 12: coach's been sent home. Yeah, the Canadian coach, so what

1635
01:17:34,227 --> 01:17:37,347
Speaker 12: they deserve. You can't do a crack. I don't know

1636
01:17:37,387 --> 01:17:39,267
Speaker 12: if you saw it pon it, but someone pulled it

1637
01:17:39,267 --> 01:17:41,587
Speaker 12: out on the internet's a wonderful place. They pulled out

1638
01:17:41,627 --> 01:17:45,027
Speaker 12: the actual job description for the analyst job for Canada,

1639
01:17:45,307 --> 01:17:47,507
Speaker 12: like when he got the job, and it said must

1640
01:17:47,507 --> 01:17:51,907
Speaker 12: have drone flying experience. That was literally part of the

1641
01:17:51,987 --> 01:17:52,667
Speaker 12: job speck.

1642
01:17:52,867 --> 01:17:53,707
Speaker 3: So I love it.

1643
01:17:54,347 --> 01:17:56,187
Speaker 12: It didn't exactly work out the way they intended.

1644
01:17:57,067 --> 01:17:57,707
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

1645
01:17:57,787 --> 01:18:00,747
Speaker 2: That is amazing, and I guess like over here at

1646
01:18:00,787 --> 01:18:02,907
Speaker 2: the time zones, you know, obviously being in Paris, we

1647
01:18:03,227 --> 01:18:05,147
Speaker 2: sort of start through the night, stock up on coffee,

1648
01:18:05,147 --> 01:18:07,507
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. For those of us who work,

1649
01:18:07,987 --> 01:18:10,467
Speaker 2: we obviously do do. Australian fans do that as well.

1650
01:18:10,507 --> 01:18:13,067
Speaker 2: You know, you get up for certain events or you're

1651
01:18:13,107 --> 01:18:15,867
Speaker 2: just stock up on coffee and sort of yards through

1652
01:18:15,907 --> 01:18:16,227
Speaker 2: the night.

1653
01:18:17,067 --> 01:18:19,347
Speaker 12: Well, having having a look at the schedule, Pinty, a

1654
01:18:19,387 --> 01:18:21,147
Speaker 12: lot of a lot of the stuff, like the rowing,

1655
01:18:21,187 --> 01:18:22,867
Speaker 12: and you'll be all over the rowing because New Zealand's

1656
01:18:22,867 --> 01:18:26,467
Speaker 12: so bloody good at it. That's on at a decent time.

1657
01:18:26,947 --> 01:18:29,427
Speaker 12: I think it starts. The regatta starts to night at

1658
01:18:29,547 --> 01:18:31,987
Speaker 12: five pm our time, probably seven yours correct, and then

1659
01:18:32,187 --> 01:18:33,747
Speaker 12: in the middle of the day you usually there's your

1660
01:18:33,747 --> 01:18:37,627
Speaker 12: team sports, but the big stuff for us like swimming, athletics,

1661
01:18:37,667 --> 01:18:40,267
Speaker 12: all of that. You've got your finals at four am,

1662
01:18:40,347 --> 01:18:43,307
Speaker 12: so it's not a ridiculous ass to just get a

1663
01:18:43,307 --> 01:18:45,787
Speaker 12: couple of hours a shadow. It's not normal, but yeah,

1664
01:18:45,827 --> 01:18:48,707
Speaker 12: we'll get away with it. Of course we're going to

1665
01:18:48,707 --> 01:18:51,387
Speaker 12: stay up and see what happens with our men's rugby seven.

1666
01:18:51,387 --> 01:18:52,587
Speaker 12: Do you want to shut about that for a bit?

1667
01:18:52,707 --> 01:18:53,107
Speaker 12: A good?

1668
01:18:53,587 --> 01:18:58,587
Speaker 2: Well, you're taking your six minutes to get there, you know.

1669
01:18:58,627 --> 01:19:00,987
Speaker 2: I spectacularly failed to mention our exit at the quarter

1670
01:19:01,027 --> 01:19:02,947
Speaker 2: final stage, where I was going to say we'll be

1671
01:19:03,027 --> 01:19:05,027
Speaker 2: cheering for Australia now, but I'm not sure that's true.

1672
01:19:05,067 --> 01:19:07,467
Speaker 3: It might be see, it might be Fi we throw

1673
01:19:07,467 --> 01:19:08,467
Speaker 3: our allegiance behind.

1674
01:19:09,347 --> 01:19:11,707
Speaker 12: I think Fiji guan for three is such a good story.

1675
01:19:11,707 --> 01:19:13,747
Speaker 12: But hopefully it doesn't happen, because that means we've went

1676
01:19:13,787 --> 01:19:16,187
Speaker 12: bouncing seventy fine of it. The men have played so

1677
01:19:16,307 --> 01:19:20,187
Speaker 12: well with dance Board, had Michael Hooper and Morgan Toui

1678
01:19:20,227 --> 01:19:23,387
Speaker 12: with me as part of the coverage, and Hoops obviously

1679
01:19:23,507 --> 01:19:25,907
Speaker 12: was part of the men's seventh squad in the lead

1680
01:19:25,987 --> 01:19:29,347
Speaker 12: up and a squad player there, and he knew he

1681
01:19:29,427 --> 01:19:32,067
Speaker 12: saw it. He saw this together and said, this group

1682
01:19:32,187 --> 01:19:35,947
Speaker 12: and they've got each other's back, big style and mogs

1683
01:19:35,987 --> 01:19:37,787
Speaker 12: and who actually made a point He said, the field

1684
01:19:37,827 --> 01:19:42,027
Speaker 12: looks a little skinnier, like not as wide because it's

1685
01:19:42,027 --> 01:19:46,267
Speaker 12: inside an athletics track. So that's kind of played with

1686
01:19:46,307 --> 01:19:48,227
Speaker 12: a few tactics that they've come up with. But Australia

1687
01:19:48,267 --> 01:19:49,867
Speaker 12: have defended so well, and they're going to have to

1688
01:19:50,227 --> 01:19:51,987
Speaker 12: against the Fijians who are gone for that three in

1689
01:19:52,027 --> 01:19:52,307
Speaker 12: a row.

1690
01:19:52,467 --> 01:19:54,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many places to keep your eyes on. I

1691

01:20:00,267 --> 01:20:01,987
Speaker 2: are at for our respective nations.

1694
01:20:02,307 --> 01:20:04,907
Speaker 12: I think we'll pro rata it with population, all right,

1695
01:20:05,187 --> 01:20:08,147
Speaker 12: if you view three and move one twelve, it's about

1696
01:20:08,227 --> 01:20:11,067
Speaker 12: on with everyone's expectations.

1697

Speaker 5: Weekends for It with Jason fine All.

1710
01:20:51,267 --> 01:20:53,547
Speaker 3: News Talks five to two Races.

1711
01:20:53,627 --> 01:20:56,587
Speaker 2: Jason query for you regarding the triathon, how different will

1712
01:20:56,627 --> 01:20:59,747
Speaker 2: it be for competitors to swim in fresh water rather

1713
01:20:59,827 --> 01:21:02,787
Speaker 2: than more typical salt water and what are the implications

1714
01:21:02,787 --> 01:21:06,907
Speaker 2: of swimming both upstream and downstream? Well, right, we had

1715
01:21:06,907 --> 01:21:09,467
Speaker 2: Hayden Wild on the show a month or so ago

1716
01:21:09,547 --> 01:21:10,787
Speaker 2: and I asked them that very thing.

1717
01:21:10,947 --> 01:21:16,107
Speaker 18: It's actually a very tough swim technically and mentally. It's

1718
01:21:16,147 --> 01:21:20,867
Speaker 18: a it's a it's actually currently assisted going into the water.

1719
01:21:21,067 --> 01:21:25,547
Speaker 18: So for example, if you know your swim splits, we

1720
01:21:25,587 --> 01:21:29,667
Speaker 18: did four hundred and fifty meters in four minutes, which

1721
01:21:29,747 --> 01:21:32,347
Speaker 18: is you know, for example, if you look at swimming pool,

1722
01:21:32,347 --> 01:21:34,947
Speaker 18: it's you know, it's fast than the world record in

1723
01:21:34,987 --> 01:21:37,427
Speaker 18: the four hundred meter and we did, you know, four

1724
01:21:37,507 --> 01:21:41,387
Speaker 18: hundred and fifty meters, So it's extremely quick current assisted,

1725
01:21:41,747 --> 01:21:45,187
Speaker 18: but we turn around and we get hit by a

1726
01:21:45,227 --> 01:21:48,067
Speaker 18: lot of flying water, which makes life hard. So it's

1727
01:21:48,107 --> 01:21:51,747
Speaker 18: extremely important to be in a really good position in

1728
01:21:51,827 --> 01:21:53,667
Speaker 18: that first kind of boy turn at four hundred and

1729
01:21:53,667 --> 01:21:57,067
Speaker 18: fifty meters, knowing where you are, trying to kind of

1730
01:21:57,147 --> 01:21:59,987
Speaker 18: hide yourself behind other athletes to kind of get their

1731
01:22:00,067 --> 01:22:03,147
Speaker 18: wake to set you up pretty well for the obviously

1732
01:22:03,227 --> 01:22:04,947
Speaker 18: for the rest of the race. So yeah, I think

1733
01:22:04,987 --> 01:22:07,387
Speaker 18: positioning is going to be extremely important when it comes

1734
01:22:07,387 --> 01:22:07,827
Speaker 18: to the swim.

1735
01:22:07,907 --> 01:22:08,267

01:27:38,027 --> 01:27:38,867
Speaker 19: for six.

1838
01:27:39,627 --> 01:27:42,867
Speaker 3: What a talent this young man is. He makes that

1839
01:27:42,987 --> 01:27:44,707
Speaker 3: thing looks so ridiculously easy.

1840
01:27:45,267 --> 01:27:47,827
Speaker 2: Roch and Revenger joins us from the United States, where

1841
01:27:47,827 --> 01:27:49,667
Speaker 2: he's playing Major League cricket. Great to get the chance

1842
01:27:49,667 --> 01:27:51,787
Speaker 2: to cheat you is always Rochen. How you how you

1843
01:27:51,867 --> 01:27:56,547
Speaker 2: enjoying the competition Major League cricket for the Washington Freedom.

1844
01:27:57,107 --> 01:27:58,987
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just funny. It's it's been cool.

1845
01:27:59,027 --> 01:28:02,547
Speaker 21: Obviously playing in the America is not something you experienced

1846
01:28:02,547 --> 01:28:04,867
Speaker 21: too often, and for me to be empty experience at

1847
01:28:04,947 --> 01:28:07,907
Speaker 21: such a young age you in Mun's national career has

1848
01:28:07,907 --> 01:28:09,387
Speaker 21: been pretty cool. I mean there's a lot of things

1849
01:28:09,427 --> 01:28:11,827
Speaker 21: to do off the field, and the fans have been amazing.

1850
01:28:11,867 --> 01:28:13,227
Speaker 21: I guess it's been a bit of a flow on

1851
01:28:13,227 --> 01:28:14,747
Speaker 21: effect from the teach when you walk up that they've

1852
01:28:14,747 --> 01:28:17,107
Speaker 21: had hair. So it's been an amazing experience so far.

1853
01:28:17,267 --> 01:28:19,467
Speaker 2: Lots of familiar faces for you as well, Rutch and

1854
01:28:19,507 --> 01:28:23,107
Speaker 2: particularly Kiwis and Aussie's Lockie Ferguson's there at the Washington

1855
01:28:23,147 --> 01:28:26,947
Speaker 2: Freedom with you, Travis Heidglenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, the Australian trio.

1856
01:28:27,547 --> 01:28:30,107
Speaker 2: A bit of a down Under reunion going on.

1857
01:28:31,027 --> 01:28:33,387
Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean you wouldn't say that's often Keevy's and

1858
01:28:33,427 --> 01:28:36,547
Speaker 21: Ossie's mixing well together. But no, it's been good. I

1859
01:28:36,547 --> 01:28:39,147
Speaker 21: think that those Ossies are are great people. See nice

1860
01:28:39,187 --> 01:28:42,067
Speaker 21: having lockie hair, and we've got a diverse team and

1861
01:28:42,187 --> 01:28:43,627
Speaker 21: I mean you look at those guys. They know how

1862
01:28:43,627 --> 01:28:45,787
Speaker 21: to win games of cricket, you know, Henny Smudge and

1863
01:28:46,747 --> 01:28:49,147
Speaker 21: Maxi both you know, won a World Cup recently so

1864
01:28:50,187 --> 01:28:52,307
Speaker 21: and they've won so much so they know they know

1865
01:28:52,347 --> 01:28:54,107
Speaker 21: what they're doing. And I guess it's nice to have

1866
01:28:54,627 --> 01:28:56,867
Speaker 21: like an Aussie environment too. It's I guess similar to

1867
01:28:56,907 --> 01:28:57,827
Speaker 21: that New Zealand setup.

1868
01:28:57,827 --> 01:28:58,827
Speaker 20: It's pretty chill.

1869
01:28:58,867 --> 01:29:00,667
Speaker 21: You know, they let the players do their thing and

1870
01:29:01,347 --> 01:29:03,267
Speaker 21: a lot of trust and a lot of backing support stuff.

1871
01:29:03,267 --> 01:29:04,867
Speaker 20: So that's been a pretty cool.

1872
01:29:04,747 --> 01:29:07,427
Speaker 2: Sofa, I guess with so much chise cricket now, the

1873
01:29:07,507 --> 01:29:09,747
Speaker 2: nature of it is, you know, you're coming together with

1874
01:29:10,187 --> 01:29:12,867
Speaker 2: a team of players that you know, you might know

1875
01:29:13,187 --> 01:29:16,347
Speaker 2: from having played against them perhaps but not really spent

1876
01:29:16,427 --> 01:29:18,307
Speaker 2: a lot of time with. Do you work you know

1877
01:29:18,427 --> 01:29:21,387
Speaker 2: pretty hard, pretty quickly on forging relationships in a situation

1878
01:29:21,547 --> 01:29:21,867
Speaker 2: like that.

1879
01:29:22,667 --> 01:29:25,347
Speaker 21: Yeah, for sure, I think we're benefiting from having a

1880
01:29:25,347 --> 01:29:27,707
Speaker 21: great group of guys everyone who cares for each other

1881
01:29:27,747 --> 01:29:29,867
Speaker 21: and plays for each other and enjoy hanging out with

1882
01:29:29,907 --> 01:29:32,587
Speaker 21: everyone after the games and off the field, and I

1883
01:29:32,627 --> 01:29:34,907
Speaker 21: think that goes a long way into building that trust

1884
01:29:34,947 --> 01:29:38,027
Speaker 21: onto the field. Yeah, it's definitely an interesting and difficult

1885
01:29:38,067 --> 01:29:39,947
Speaker 21: one because you play with different people around the world

1886
01:29:39,987 --> 01:29:41,467
Speaker 21: so often and you have a different team.

1887
01:29:41,507 --> 01:29:42,347
Speaker 20: It's always shifting.

1888
01:29:42,387 --> 01:29:44,227
Speaker 21: But I mean it's the cool opportunity to get to

1889
01:29:44,227 --> 01:29:46,947
Speaker 21: know other guys and learn from them and take back

1890
01:29:46,987 --> 01:29:49,347
Speaker 21: something you know that they do in their games and

1891
01:29:49,507 --> 01:29:50,027
Speaker 21: hopefully you.

1892
01:29:49,987 --> 01:29:51,067
Speaker 20: Sort of take it for yourself.

1893
01:29:51,067 --> 01:29:53,227
Speaker 21: But I think that's the beauty of vitash Creed at

1894
01:29:53,227 --> 01:29:54,907
Speaker 21: the moment and franchise cricket is you get to mix

1895
01:29:54,947 --> 01:29:56,187
Speaker 21: with a bunch of people you know and you end

1896
01:29:56,267 --> 01:29:58,307
Speaker 21: up playing against them quite a bit. So it's always

1897
01:29:58,307 --> 01:30:00,307
Speaker 21: going to be that competitive rivalry when you come up

1898
01:30:00,347 --> 01:30:02,427
Speaker 21: against you know, your teammates around the world.

1899
01:30:02,747 --> 01:30:04,627
Speaker 2: Well, what are the venues like rocht and the wickets

1900
01:30:04,627 --> 01:30:06,227
Speaker 2: you're playing on in Major League cricket.

1901
01:30:07,027 --> 01:30:09,587
Speaker 21: So we had a little bit of scent in Raleigh.

1902
01:30:09,627 --> 01:30:11,667
Speaker 21: I think that's how you pronounce it. In North Carolina.

1903
01:30:12,107 --> 01:30:14,507
Speaker 21: It was like a I guess they've built it like

1904
01:30:14,547 --> 01:30:17,227
Speaker 21: built a little stadium around it, and the pitchers there

1905
01:30:17,267 --> 01:30:17,867
Speaker 21: were very good.

1906
01:30:17,907 --> 01:30:20,067
Speaker 20: There was a little bit of rain which was slightly negly,

1907
01:30:20,147 --> 01:30:22,307
Speaker 20: but ended up work. It was really good.

1908
01:30:22,307 --> 01:30:25,387
Speaker 21: And I guess we've got this stadium in Dallas, which

1909
01:30:25,427 --> 01:30:28,507
Speaker 21: is a perfect cricket venue, great you know, great seeding,

1910
01:30:28,587 --> 01:30:32,547
Speaker 21: great pitch, exactly what you see from around the world.

1911
01:30:33,387 --> 01:30:35,867
Speaker 21: It's just like a you know, a great cricket stadium.

1912
01:30:35,907 --> 01:30:38,627
Speaker 21: So the pitches have been very good so far. I mean,

1913
01:30:38,987 --> 01:30:41,427
Speaker 21: it's we always come to an unknown especially you don't

1914
01:30:41,467 --> 01:30:42,667
Speaker 21: know if it's what it's going to be like in

1915
01:30:42,707 --> 01:30:45,027
Speaker 21: America and stuff. But the way it's been going so far,

1916
01:30:45,107 --> 01:30:47,187
Speaker 21: they've they've run it really well. You know, the curaders

1917
01:30:47,187 --> 01:30:49,427
Speaker 21: are doing a great job and it's been producing competitive

1918
01:30:49,427 --> 01:30:50,747
Speaker 21: cricket and that's all you can really ask for.

1919
01:30:50,987 --> 01:30:54,907
Speaker 3: Good for your left arm spin, Yeah, it's a little bit.

1920
01:30:54,787 --> 01:30:56,067
Speaker 20: In the wickets, Piney.

1921
01:30:56,387 --> 01:30:58,587
Speaker 21: It's been good having like a little bit of a

1922
01:30:58,587 --> 01:31:01,987
Speaker 21: bowl here and there and when Skipper throws me the ball,

1923
01:31:02,027 --> 01:31:03,987
Speaker 21: but definitely a little bit of whole little bit of turn.

1924
01:31:04,067 --> 01:31:05,827
Speaker 21: But I think the nature of the tournament as you

1925
01:31:05,827 --> 01:31:09,067
Speaker 21: play so many games on a certain pitch, so it's

1926
01:31:09,107 --> 01:31:11,227
Speaker 21: bound to get a little bit tired, But to be honest,

1927
01:31:11,267 --> 01:31:12,787
Speaker 21: I've been very impressed with the way the wickets have

1928
01:31:12,787 --> 01:31:15,187
Speaker 21: held up. We haven't necessarily had like a real turn

1929
01:31:15,227 --> 01:31:18,147
Speaker 21: and burner as of yet, so and I guess looking

1930
01:31:18,187 --> 01:31:19,627
Speaker 21: forward to the playoffs, I don't think we will get

1931
01:31:19,667 --> 01:31:23,347
Speaker 21: anything like that. So it's been The pitches have been

1932
01:31:23,547 --> 01:31:26,347
Speaker 21: up to you know, T twenty standard throughout the tournament.

1933
01:31:26,427 --> 01:31:29,187
Speaker 2: It's been such a busy twenty twenty four for you,

1934
01:31:29,227 --> 01:31:32,547
Speaker 2: hasn't It seems like you're going from one cricket assignment

1935
01:31:32,547 --> 01:31:35,227
Speaker 2: to the next. You had your first IPL season earlier

1936
01:31:35,227 --> 01:31:36,827
Speaker 2: this year with the Chennai Super Kings.

1937
01:31:37,027 --> 01:31:38,267
Speaker 3: How do you reflect back on that?

1938
01:31:39,227 --> 01:31:40,107
Speaker 20: Yeah, that was amazing.

1939
01:31:40,147 --> 01:31:43,227
Speaker 21: I think being part of the most storied franchise in cricket,

1940
01:31:44,107 --> 01:31:47,787
Speaker 21: in franchise cricket was pretty amazing, pretty special. A team

1941
01:31:47,867 --> 01:31:51,947
Speaker 21: that has won you know, five five championships and have

1942
01:31:52,867 --> 01:31:55,227
Speaker 21: know how to run a clinical ship, you know, it

1943
01:31:55,307 --> 01:31:56,947
Speaker 21: was it was cool. And being able to rub shoulders

1944
01:31:56,947 --> 01:31:59,147
Speaker 21: with world class players and have a couple of key

1945
01:31:59,187 --> 01:32:01,107
Speaker 21: you guys around me to help support me too through

1946
01:32:01,107 --> 01:32:02,187
Speaker 21: that time was great.

1947
01:32:02,387 --> 01:32:03,707
Speaker 20: I think you take a lot of learning from that.

1948
01:32:03,747 --> 01:32:05,667
Speaker 21: Obviously, it's a lot of time away from home and

1949
01:32:06,467 --> 01:32:08,627
Speaker 21: twenty twenty four haven't had too much time in Wellington.

1950
01:32:09,627 --> 01:32:11,387
Speaker 21: But it's all part of it and I think it's

1951
01:32:11,667 --> 01:32:14,147
Speaker 21: part of learning and that's the beauty of interest cricket

1952
01:32:14,187 --> 01:32:15,387
Speaker 21: at the moment. You know, you get to play it

1953
01:32:15,387 --> 01:32:18,107
Speaker 21: in different environments and different conditions and you're only going

1954
01:32:18,147 --> 01:32:20,387
Speaker 21: to get better as a player. So it's been an

1955
01:32:20,387 --> 01:32:23,147
Speaker 21: amazing experience so far, and hopefully I can you know,

1956
01:32:23,507 --> 01:32:24,667
Speaker 21: keep pushing on with that stuff.

1957
01:32:24,907 --> 01:32:27,627
Speaker 2: I know you knew this anyway, but did it give

1958
01:32:27,627 --> 01:32:31,667
Speaker 2: you an even greater appreciation of the deep love that

1959
01:32:31,667 --> 01:32:34,187
Speaker 2: that people in India have for the game of cricket.

1960
01:32:35,027 --> 01:32:37,507
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's yeah, the spot on there, Piney.

1961
01:32:37,547 --> 01:32:37,827
Speaker 9: It was.

1962
01:32:38,547 --> 01:32:40,507
Speaker 21: Certainly it can be a little bit overwhelming, I think,

1963
01:32:40,587 --> 01:32:42,107
Speaker 21: especially paying but you know, you know you've got the

1964
01:32:42,107 --> 01:32:45,027
Speaker 21: fan foo for Downing and everything, and the way the

1965
01:32:45,067 --> 01:32:45,827
Speaker 21: fans follow.

1966
01:32:45,627 --> 01:32:48,107
Speaker 20: The team around, you know, even the hotels.

1967
01:32:47,627 --> 01:32:51,147
Speaker 21: And you can't necessarily leave your hotel too often because

1968
01:32:51,147 --> 01:32:53,587
Speaker 21: you know, you get recognized and stuff and you get mobbed.

1969
01:32:53,627 --> 01:32:56,347
Speaker 21: But I guess it puts in perspective makes us very

1970
01:32:56,467 --> 01:32:58,587
Speaker 21: very grateful that we can put you know, joy and

1971
01:32:58,627 --> 01:33:01,747
Speaker 21: happiness on people's faces when we're playing cricket and I

1972
01:33:01,787 --> 01:33:03,947
Speaker 21: think that's probably the biggest thing for me. Being able

1973
01:33:03,987 --> 01:33:07,707
Speaker 21: to entertain people, entertain the fans that you know, keeps

1974
01:33:07,707 --> 01:33:10,467
Speaker 21: that drive and motivation going. So, I mean the crowds

1975
01:33:10,507 --> 01:33:13,507
Speaker 21: are amazing, how loud they were in India. It's you know,

1976
01:33:13,507 --> 01:33:15,107
Speaker 21: it's a real sort of pinches off moment to be

1977
01:33:15,147 --> 01:33:17,227
Speaker 21: able to be out there and enjoying that.

1978
01:33:17,307 --> 01:33:19,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to use that exact phrase, actually,

1979
01:33:19,307 --> 01:33:21,947
Speaker 2: the pinch yourself moments that you must be having Army.

1980
01:33:21,987 --> 01:33:24,907
Speaker 2: You're well known in New Zealand now in Wellington, but

1981
01:33:24,987 --> 01:33:26,707
Speaker 2: you know you can you can walk down the street

1982
01:33:26,747 --> 01:33:29,547
Speaker 2: without getting you know, peaced too much. But now you're

1983
01:33:29,587 --> 01:33:31,707
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, not really being able to go

1984
01:33:31,747 --> 01:33:34,227
Speaker 2: out for a cup of coffee in India.

1985
01:33:34,667 --> 01:33:37,067
Speaker 20: Yeah, it is. It is a little bit like that.

1986
01:33:37,187 --> 01:33:39,827
Speaker 21: I think you probably take your freedom a little bit

1987
01:33:39,947 --> 01:33:42,787
Speaker 21: granted sometimes. Yeah, And obviously it's nice when people wanted

1988
01:33:42,787 --> 01:33:45,547
Speaker 21: to come to high It's always always nice to know,

1989
01:33:45,627 --> 01:33:47,787
Speaker 21: you know, you're well, I just recognized by it by

1990
01:33:47,787 --> 01:33:50,587
Speaker 21: people and because you're playing sport for a living. But yeah,

1991
01:33:50,627 --> 01:33:53,707
Speaker 21: India is seriously next level. I think, you know, you

1992
01:33:53,707 --> 01:33:56,427
Speaker 21: can get tired of it. Sometimes, but I think you're

1993
01:33:56,427 --> 01:33:59,267
Speaker 21: pretty grateful for the position you're in, like I said before,

1994
01:33:59,347 --> 01:34:02,147
Speaker 21: and it's it's a it's a different world over there

1995
01:34:02,187 --> 01:34:05,827
Speaker 21: with cricket Piney, it's it's it's unbelievable. But I mean

1996
01:34:05,827 --> 01:34:09,107
Speaker 21: the experiences that I definitely pinched myself. You know, a

1997
01:34:09,187 --> 01:34:11,707
Speaker 21: year ago you're looking at the same situation and you're like, oh,

1998
01:34:11,747 --> 01:34:13,667
Speaker 21: I do you know all of a sudden things happened

1999
01:34:13,747 --> 01:34:15,627
Speaker 21: quickly and you're in those situations.

2000
01:34:15,627 --> 01:34:17,587
Speaker 20: So it's been a pretty special journey so far.

2001
01:34:17,667 --> 01:34:19,387
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you may well get the opportunity, of course,

2002
01:34:19,427 --> 01:34:21,147
Speaker 2: all going well to go back there because the black

2003
01:34:21,147 --> 01:34:23,947
Speaker 2: Caps have Test matches against India that's the next red

2004
01:34:23,947 --> 01:34:27,067
Speaker 2: ball assignment for the national side, and then England at home.

2005
01:34:27,107 --> 01:34:28,867
Speaker 2: I know you love your red ball cricket. How keen

2006
01:34:28,907 --> 01:34:31,267
Speaker 2: are you to be involved in those Test matches?

2007
01:34:32,067 --> 01:34:32,627
Speaker 20: Oh, definitely.

2008
01:34:32,667 --> 01:34:35,467
Speaker 21: I think playing playing for Nazeland personally for me is

2009
01:34:36,467 --> 01:34:39,187
Speaker 21: you know, whether it's a pinnacle or especially Test matches

2010
01:34:39,227 --> 01:34:41,827
Speaker 21: against India and England to all the better sides in

2011
01:34:41,827 --> 01:34:44,867
Speaker 21: will cricket is always going to be amazing fun. I think,

2012
01:34:45,107 --> 01:34:46,827
Speaker 21: like wife, we just said, the crowds in India are

2013
01:34:46,827 --> 01:34:49,707
Speaker 21: going to be insane. And obviously back home we saw

2014
01:34:49,947 --> 01:34:52,667
Speaker 21: the back into the summer the crowds against Australia and

2015
01:34:52,747 --> 01:34:55,067
Speaker 21: what great Test matches they were. And hopefully be able

2016
01:34:55,067 --> 01:34:57,987
Speaker 21: to recuplicate that against England too and do one better

2017
01:34:57,987 --> 01:35:00,947
Speaker 21: and actually win the serious as time. But I think

2018
01:35:01,347 --> 01:35:04,027
Speaker 21: you was showed last time England toured and that amazing

2019
01:35:04,227 --> 01:35:08,267
Speaker 21: game at the basin And and we always love sort

2020
01:35:08,307 --> 01:35:10,587
Speaker 21: of welcoming the England fans here and they're a competitive

2021
01:35:10,587 --> 01:35:14,587
Speaker 21: cricket team. And I think you remember summers and you

2022
01:35:14,627 --> 01:35:16,387
Speaker 21: know that those are you know, the summers that you

2023
01:35:16,467 --> 01:35:18,667
Speaker 21: enjoy playing and when you're playing those high profile teams.

2024
01:35:18,707 --> 01:35:20,107
Speaker 20: So I know it will be fun.

2025
01:35:20,187 --> 01:35:22,947
Speaker 21: Hopefully the public will get along and you know, have

2026
01:35:23,027 --> 01:35:24,147
Speaker 21: a great turnout for those tests.

2027
01:35:24,187 --> 01:35:26,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just on Test cricket, the nature of the

2028
01:35:26,307 --> 01:35:27,987
Speaker 2: game these days is that you play a lot of

2029
01:35:27,987 --> 01:35:30,227
Speaker 2: white ball cricket. But as I say, I know you

2030
01:35:30,267 --> 01:35:32,987
Speaker 2: love your red ball stuff. Where is your Test double

2031
01:35:33,027 --> 01:35:35,907
Speaker 2: one hundred against South Africa and Mount Monganui last summer

2032
01:35:36,387 --> 01:35:38,467
Speaker 2: rate among everything else you've achieved.

2033
01:35:39,547 --> 01:35:42,227
Speaker 21: Yeah, like I said, Plane, it's always nice, like you

2034
01:35:42,267 --> 01:35:45,067
Speaker 21: know the historic meaning of Test cricket and being able

2035
01:35:45,107 --> 01:35:47,547
Speaker 21: to be involved for all that is amazing and yeah,

2036
01:35:47,667 --> 01:35:49,907
Speaker 21: definitely rates highly. I think for me, test cricket is

2037
01:35:50,187 --> 01:35:52,707
Speaker 21: the ultimate test of temperament. And being able to sustain

2038
01:35:52,747 --> 01:35:55,467
Speaker 21: that for a long period of time and test yourself mentally,

2039
01:35:56,827 --> 01:35:59,307
Speaker 21: I think that that counts for a lot, and I

2040
01:35:59,307 --> 01:36:01,467
Speaker 21: think that's that's pure Banning, you know, that's pure Betning

2041
01:36:01,507 --> 01:36:02,827
Speaker 21: bliss for me being able to do that for a

2042
01:36:02,827 --> 01:36:04,827
Speaker 21: period of time and also do that with Kine, who

2043
01:36:05,267 --> 01:36:07,827
Speaker 21: we all know what to play he is, so I

2044
01:36:07,867 --> 01:36:10,147
Speaker 21: think again, we talk about pinch yourself moments and that

2045
01:36:10,267 --> 01:36:11,827
Speaker 21: was one of them. And being able to share the

2046
01:36:11,867 --> 01:36:14,747
Speaker 21: crease with him and contribute to a team win and

2047
01:36:15,067 --> 01:36:17,227
Speaker 21: series win was incredibly special.

2048
01:36:17,347 --> 01:36:18,027
Speaker 3: I bet well.

2049
01:36:18,187 --> 01:36:19,787
Speaker 2: As I say, very busy time. You are going to

2050
01:36:19,787 --> 01:36:21,827
Speaker 2: get a break at some stage. Are you going to

2051
01:36:21,827 --> 01:36:22,747
Speaker 2: get back home for a bit?

2052
01:36:24,187 --> 01:36:24,387
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2053
01:36:24,387 --> 01:36:26,667
Speaker 21: I'm actually going to New York after this for a

2054
01:36:26,707 --> 01:36:28,707
Speaker 21: week and I have a little week at home after that,

2055
01:36:28,747 --> 01:36:30,027
Speaker 21: and then I'll give in to my prep for the

2056
01:36:30,067 --> 01:36:33,467
Speaker 21: subcontinent tests. So two weeks off will be hopefully enough

2057
01:36:33,467 --> 01:36:34,947
Speaker 21: for me to reenergize it.

2058
01:36:34,947 --> 01:36:35,947
Speaker 20: It's been a busy year so.

2059
01:36:35,947 --> 01:36:38,587
Speaker 2: Far, it absolutely has. Look it's a busy time for you.

2060
01:36:38,627 --> 01:36:40,347
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking time out of your schedule right in

2061
01:36:40,427 --> 01:36:42,907
Speaker 2: for a chat. Always love talking cricket.

Speaker 20: With you, mate, Chest Funny, Thanks for having me, mate, Thanks.

2063
01:36:44,747 --> 01:36:46,707
Speaker 2: No, thank you Ritching for joining us right and REVENGEO

2064
01:36:46,827 --> 01:36:50,427
Speaker 2: that he's with the Washington Freedom and Major League Cricket. Now,

2065
01:36:50,467 --> 01:36:52,707
Speaker 2: I can tell you they're already into the final and

2066
01:36:52,747 --> 01:36:55,627
Speaker 2: they're awaiting the winner of the game between the San

2067
01:36:55,707 --> 01:36:59,547
Speaker 2: Francisco Unicorns and the Texas super Kings. Now, the San

2068
01:36:59,587 --> 01:37:02,707
Speaker 2: Francisco Unicorns, this cames on at the moment. I have

2069
01:37:02,947 --> 01:37:07,707
Speaker 2: just completed their twenty overs two hundred for six Finellen

2070
01:37:08,107 --> 01:37:11,427
Speaker 2: one hundred and one or fifty three balls typical Finelle

2071
01:37:11,427 --> 01:37:14,547
Speaker 2: and stuff nine fours and five six is there? So

2072
01:37:14,627 --> 01:37:16,747
Speaker 2: the Texas Super Kings are about to come out and

2073
01:37:16,827 --> 01:37:19,347
Speaker 2: chase two hundred and one to win. Opening the batting

2074
01:37:19,347 --> 01:37:22,427
Speaker 2: for them, Devon Conway and fuff du plus ce. What

2075
01:37:22,467 --> 01:37:26,747
Speaker 2: do you reckon, Andy, San Francisco Unicorns or Texas super Kings.

2076
01:37:26,787 --> 01:37:30,507
Speaker 19: You know the long steep history of the Texas Super

2077
01:37:30,627 --> 01:37:33,987
Speaker 19: Kings with their prolific opening batsman, I've got no idea

2078
01:37:34,027 --> 01:37:34,667
Speaker 19: what I'm talking about.

2079
01:37:34,707 --> 01:37:37,227
Speaker 3: Piney, Who is there other other opener, fuff du plus

2080
01:37:37,227 --> 01:37:38,027
Speaker 3: ce and Devin Conway.

2081
01:37:38,067 --> 01:37:40,787
Speaker 19: Oh, actually, that's a very strong opening here. What can

2082
01:37:40,827 --> 01:37:42,427
Speaker 19: you tell me about the form of Devin Conway so

2083
01:37:42,507 --> 01:37:44,067
Speaker 19: far this season of Major League cricket.

2084
01:37:44,067 --> 01:37:46,147
Speaker 2: I think he's been going okay you think, yeah, Look,

2085
01:37:46,147 --> 01:37:48,467
Speaker 2: I think he's been heading the ball nicely, excellent.

2086
01:37:48,747 --> 01:37:51,907
Speaker 19: That's a good, good calculated guess by the by the

2087
01:37:51,947 --> 01:37:52,907
Speaker 19: looks on your face.

2088
01:37:53,547 --> 01:37:55,507
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I like the odds.

2089
01:37:55,267 --> 01:37:57,107
Speaker 19: Of I don't know what I'm talking about.

2090
01:37:57,107 --> 01:37:59,387
Speaker 3: Man, Now you don't, but I didn't.

2091
01:37:59,427 --> 01:38:01,227
Speaker 2: It wasn't it funny listening to Rutch and talk about

2092
01:38:01,267 --> 01:38:03,627
Speaker 2: the Australian guys and calling them by their nicknames. You know,

2093
01:38:03,947 --> 01:38:06,347
Speaker 2: they call Steve Smiths Smudge, and you know Glenn Maxwell,

2094
01:38:06,387 --> 01:38:09,387
Speaker 2: Maxi and Trevor's head Eddie. You know, it's funny, isn't it?

2095
01:38:09,387 --> 01:38:11,787
Speaker 2: Because in the past this never would have happened. They

2096
01:38:11,827 --> 01:38:14,347
Speaker 2: never would have played with one another in the same team.

2097
01:38:14,347 --> 01:38:17,467
Speaker 2: They'd just be sledging each other, playing against one another.

2098
01:38:17,587 --> 01:38:19,867
Speaker 19: It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable because I don't

2099
01:38:19,907 --> 01:38:22,467
Speaker 19: want them to like each other or else, you know,

2100
01:38:22,667 --> 01:38:25,707
Speaker 19: foot off the throat sort of thing. I like us

2101
01:38:25,747 --> 01:38:27,867
Speaker 19: fans don't like the team so why why do we

2102
01:38:27,907 --> 01:38:30,427
Speaker 19: want our players li like in the Australian team.

2103
01:38:30,547 --> 01:38:31,947
Speaker 3: When was the last time we had our foot on

2104
01:38:31,947 --> 01:38:32,827
Speaker 3: Australia's throat?

2105
01:38:35,427 --> 01:38:36,787
Speaker 19: Let me think of that, all right.

2106
01:38:37,067 --> 01:38:40,027

2126
01:39:43,827 --> 01:39:47,587
Speaker 2: a terrific young man. He always has been. I remember

2127
01:39:47,627 --> 01:39:50,347
Speaker 2: meeting Rauchen for the first time when he was fourteen

2128
01:39:50,467 --> 01:39:52,667
Speaker 2: or fifteen. He was at a cricket fundraiser for the

2129
01:39:52,667 --> 01:39:56,547
Speaker 2: Wellington under seventeens and it was a quiz night and

2130
01:39:57,187 --> 01:39:59,547
Speaker 2: obviously they were running the quiz night and helping up

2131
01:39:59,587 --> 01:40:01,947
Speaker 2: by just just collecting the answer sheets and all of that.

2132
01:40:02,027 --> 01:40:05,107
Speaker 2: But then they got these boys, and they are only

2133
01:40:05,147 --> 01:40:07,587
Speaker 2: boys in nine to seventeens up on the stage and

2134
01:40:07,627 --> 01:40:09,667
Speaker 2: they had to answer some cricket questions and write and

2135
01:40:09,707 --> 01:40:12,627
Speaker 2: knew the answers to all of them. He was even

2136
01:40:12,707 --> 01:40:15,107
Speaker 2: back then, he knew so much about the game. And

2137
01:40:15,147 --> 01:40:18,587
Speaker 2: someone said to me that kid will be a very

Speaker 2: back to back in the am Z Premier Ship.

2153
01:41:07,267 --> 01:41:09,987
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're really motivated. We're very excited to play this game,

2154
01:41:10,027 --> 01:41:11,987
Speaker 6: and we kind of feel like we had momentum with

2155
01:41:12,227 --> 01:41:15,187
Speaker 6: our groups and we know we've known since that Loston

2156
01:41:15,227 --> 01:41:16,907
Speaker 6: magic a couple of weeks ago that we had to

2157
01:41:16,947 --> 01:41:20,187
Speaker 6: win every game to make it through to the Hogs

2158
01:41:20,187 --> 01:41:22,067
Speaker 6: are going back to back and so we're really can'tfull

2159
01:41:22,427 --> 01:41:23,907
Speaker 6: today and really are good to get going.

2160
01:41:24,467 --> 01:41:27,227
Speaker 2: What's been behind the excellent recent run the you know,

2161
01:41:27,267 --> 01:41:30,427
Speaker 2: the momentum you've built and the string of victories that

2162
01:41:30,787 --> 01:41:32,027
Speaker 2: has got you into this position.

2163
01:41:33,747 --> 01:41:35,427
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's been kind of a few factors.

2164
01:41:35,467 --> 01:41:39,307
Speaker 6: We've always known we the revaluable bench. We believe we

2165
01:41:39,427 --> 01:41:41,627
Speaker 6: have a strong team of ten eleven. The posts some

2166
01:41:41,907 --> 01:41:44,187
Speaker 6: given having our full team back, how we have been

2167
01:41:44,187 --> 01:41:47,187
Speaker 6: massive for us, training really hard week and week out

2168
01:41:47,267 --> 01:41:50,867
Speaker 6: with a really strong training environment. So the belief has really

2169
01:41:50,867 --> 01:41:52,467
Speaker 6: been there from the start of in our groups and

2170
01:41:52,587 --> 01:41:55,987
Speaker 6: just kind of setting the ship during the struggles and

2171
01:41:56,467 --> 01:41:59,187
Speaker 6: turbulent succeeds and has been so important for us to

2172
01:41:59,187 --> 01:42:01,027
Speaker 6: be able to map the other end feeling really I

2173
01:42:01,027 --> 01:42:02,947
Speaker 6: guess the juvenator and breed to keep pushing on to

2174
01:42:03,027 --> 01:42:03,547
Speaker 6: the finals.

2175
01:42:03,667 --> 01:42:06,107
Speaker 2: Well, some of the disruption has been around you personally,

2176
01:42:06,107 --> 01:42:09,107
Speaker 2: Oflee with the knee injury you picked up. Tell us

2177
01:42:09,107 --> 01:42:11,787
Speaker 2: about the rehab and the recovery you went through in

2178
01:42:11,827 --> 01:42:14,347
Speaker 2: May and June for the knee injury you picked up

2179
01:42:14,347 --> 01:42:15,227
Speaker 2: at the back end of April.

2180
01:42:16,347 --> 01:42:19,427
Speaker 6: Yeah, that injury was really unfortunate. I was feeling really

2181
01:42:19,427 --> 01:42:23,387
Speaker 6: good throughout coming back from through Concup and International, feeling

2182
01:42:23,427 --> 01:42:25,027
Speaker 6: good in pre season, and so it was a bit

2183
01:42:25,027 --> 01:42:28,707
Speaker 6: of a painful blow to get hit that with that

2184
01:42:28,787 --> 01:42:31,627
Speaker 6: knee injury again and saying the kind of same issue,

2185
01:42:31,787 --> 01:42:34,027
Speaker 6: so we kind of knew we had to do again.

2186
01:42:34,267 --> 01:42:35,867
Speaker 6: It was ex the months of the World Cup injury,

2187
01:42:35,907 --> 01:42:38,267
Speaker 6: and so rehab took a little bit longer than we thought.

2188
01:42:38,547 --> 01:42:39,827
Speaker 6: I think I kind of play it down in my

2189
01:42:39,867 --> 01:42:41,987
Speaker 6: head and was kind of really hard actually to be

2190
01:42:41,987 --> 01:42:43,987
Speaker 6: sitting out of the season for that long during that

2191
01:42:44,027 --> 01:42:47,067
Speaker 6: really key middle par But we have an amazing team

2192
01:42:47,107 --> 01:42:50,947
Speaker 6: of videos and sncy and staff across Listix and to

2193
01:42:50,987 --> 01:42:53,427
Speaker 6: looker into the massive and supporting Maritans to play. So

2194
01:42:53,827 --> 01:42:55,747
Speaker 6: I'm very lucky to have them to help me get that.

2195
01:42:55,787 --> 01:42:59,707
Speaker 3: Separately, so did having the same injury or effectively the

2196
01:42:59,747 --> 01:43:02,267
Speaker 3: same injury at the World Cup last year and having

2197
01:43:02,347 --> 01:43:04,467
Speaker 3: to rehab from it again this year did that help?

2198
01:43:04,507 --> 01:43:04,747
Speaker 9: Did you?

2199
01:43:04,987 --> 01:43:07,027
Speaker 2: Did you know what the milestones were, for example, on

2200
01:43:07,067 --> 01:43:08,307
Speaker 2: the way to a full recovery.

2201
01:43:09,467 --> 01:43:11,747
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just informed next steps. I think having had

2202
01:43:11,747 --> 01:43:14,347
Speaker 6: that similar injury and there was quite different. This injury

2203
01:43:14,387 --> 01:43:17,267
Speaker 6: was a little bit less to there, and you know,

2204
01:43:17,347 --> 01:43:19,067
Speaker 6: we've done the rehab, so we kind of knew what

2205
01:43:19,107 --> 01:43:21,227
Speaker 6: I should be hitting leg cretins worlit while, so it

2206
01:43:21,307 --> 01:43:23,187
Speaker 6: was cool to be able to know what to tack,

2207
01:43:23,227 --> 01:43:24,627
Speaker 6: But It also kind of played in my mind of

2208
01:43:24,707 --> 01:43:28,267
Speaker 6: it because you kind of a set there, we did

2209
01:43:28,267 --> 01:43:30,467
Speaker 6: everything right last time and I've still reinjured, or you

2210
01:43:30,467 --> 01:43:33,147
Speaker 6: do everything right and you still you might not feel

2211
01:43:33,147 --> 01:43:35,467
Speaker 6: the same, And so it was a bit of and

2212
01:43:35,587 --> 01:43:37,947
Speaker 6: I guess facts like loogical warfare sometimes with these kind

2213
01:43:37,987 --> 01:43:40,627
Speaker 6: of things. But just again, great stuff and really happy to.

2214
01:43:40,627 --> 01:43:42,187
Speaker 2: Be back with the Yeah, I don't want to just

2215
01:43:42,227 --> 01:43:44,067
Speaker 2: talk about the injury, but just one more question on

2216
01:43:44,107 --> 01:43:46,907
Speaker 2: it in terms of in terms of being patient around

2217
01:43:46,907 --> 01:43:49,067
Speaker 2: your return, because I guess you just want to get

2218
01:43:49,067 --> 01:43:49,667
Speaker 2: back out there, right.

2219
01:43:49,707 --> 01:43:51,147
Speaker 3: I would imagine that's how you feel.

2220
01:43:51,307 --> 01:43:53,107
Speaker 2: How hard is it to be to be patient but

2221
01:43:53,147 --> 01:43:56,027
Speaker 2: also to be deeply motivated to get back out there

2222
01:43:56,027 --> 01:43:56,947
Speaker 2: as soon as possible.

2223
01:43:58,027 --> 01:43:58,227
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2224
01:43:58,227 --> 01:43:59,747
Speaker 6: Absolutely, it's a bit of give and take with that

2225
01:43:59,827 --> 01:44:02,627
Speaker 6: kind of stuff. Like for me, I was really really

2226
01:44:02,707 --> 01:44:04,147
Speaker 6: itching to get her out. Then I found it really

2227
01:44:04,187 --> 01:44:06,107
Speaker 6: hard to be on the sideline. It's usually watching the girl.

2228
01:44:06,227 --> 01:44:07,867
Speaker 6: You know, it's off a few games and have some

2229
01:44:07,947 --> 01:44:09,867
Speaker 6: hard times, But in the back of my mind, I

2230
01:44:09,947 --> 01:44:12,227
Speaker 6: know that it's a bigger picture. I know that I

2231
01:44:12,347 --> 01:44:14,187
Speaker 6: want to be able to play that back in the season.

2232
01:44:14,187 --> 01:44:15,947
Speaker 6: That's what I'm doing for I know that there's still

2233
01:44:15,947 --> 01:44:18,627
Speaker 6: international duty this year, there's the next season and the

2234
01:44:18,627 --> 01:44:20,267
Speaker 6: rest of my career, which I hope will be long

2235
01:44:20,307 --> 01:44:22,947
Speaker 6: in injury free, and if I rushed myself back and

2236
01:44:23,267 --> 01:44:25,907
Speaker 6: end up doing a serious injury or crying surgery, or

2237
01:44:25,947 --> 01:44:29,307
Speaker 6: end up just continually re injuring the same injury and

2238
01:44:29,347 --> 01:44:32,627
Speaker 6: being out for eight to twelve weeks every couple of

2239
01:44:32,867 --> 01:44:35,827
Speaker 6: tours or campaigns, and I'm no good to anyone, And

2240
01:44:35,867 --> 01:44:37,627
Speaker 6: so it was really, I guess, just taking that time

2241
01:44:37,667 --> 01:44:40,547
Speaker 6: to really reassesst and believe in what we're doing and

2242
01:44:40,587 --> 01:44:41,587
Speaker 6: just had time to get better.

2243
01:44:41,747 --> 01:44:42,347
Speaker 3: No outstanding.

2244
01:44:42,347 --> 01:44:46,027
Speaker 2: Well, you returned in around twelve four games back, four wins,

2245
01:44:46,067 --> 01:44:48,747
Speaker 2: and in each of them the team has scored sixty

2246
01:44:48,747 --> 01:44:51,507
Speaker 2: plus points. How much have you enjoyed returning and making

2247
01:44:51,507 --> 01:44:52,067
Speaker 2: an impact.

2248
01:44:52,987 --> 01:44:55,467
Speaker 6: I loved it. I've loved it. Being injured really kind

2249
01:44:55,467 --> 01:44:57,347
Speaker 6: of changed the suits of it, and so I'm just

2250
01:44:57,387 --> 01:44:59,947
Speaker 6: really enjoying it for at the moment, loving playing from something,

2251
01:44:59,987 --> 01:45:02,227
Speaker 6: being on coll and just being part of the team

2252
01:45:02,227 --> 01:45:03,907
Speaker 6: with girls who I've known for a long time. So

2253
01:45:04,267 --> 01:45:07,307
Speaker 6: during those wins with them for the group we had particularly.

2254
01:45:06,947 --> 01:45:11,187
Speaker 2: Official How much do you embrace the responsibility of being

2255
01:45:11,227 --> 01:45:13,827
Speaker 2: the main source of points for the teams that you

2256
01:45:13,867 --> 01:45:14,227
Speaker 2: play in.

2257
01:45:15,947 --> 01:45:18,867
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm beginning to relish it. I think I feel

2258
01:45:18,907 --> 01:45:21,427
Speaker 6: that that is my job and as my strength, and

2259
01:45:21,467 --> 01:45:25,187
Speaker 6: so I'm enjoying, you know, my role there, and I

2260
01:45:25,227 --> 01:45:26,067
Speaker 6: love putting.

2261
01:45:25,827 --> 01:45:26,227
Speaker 14: The goals up.

2262
01:45:26,227 --> 01:45:28,347
Speaker 6: I'm a bit greedy if anything, so sometimes they make

2263
01:45:28,427 --> 01:45:30,067
Speaker 6: jokes about being a bit of a ball hoog, and

2264
01:45:30,107 --> 01:45:31,827
Speaker 6: you know, we have some great goals. Actually can play

2265
01:45:31,827 --> 01:45:33,627
Speaker 6: the ball as well, so I think I'm willing to

2266
01:45:33,627 --> 01:45:35,747
Speaker 6: share that responsibility as anything. We've got some really strong,

2267
01:45:35,787 --> 01:45:37,427
Speaker 6: skid and unique here, so anyone can do the job.

2268
01:45:37,987 --> 01:45:40,307
Speaker 2: A lot of teams, though, have a fairly simple defensive

2269
01:45:40,307 --> 01:45:43,107
Speaker 2: strategy when they play the Mystics, and that is basically

2270
01:45:43,107 --> 01:45:46,627
Speaker 2: stop grace. How do you deal with the attention you

2271
01:45:46,827 --> 01:45:48,987
Speaker 2: inevitably get in the shooting circle?

2272
01:45:50,147 --> 01:45:52,067
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I kind of learned over the years

2273
01:45:52,067 --> 01:45:54,067
Speaker 6: to take it in my stride. One of my coaches

2274
01:45:54,107 --> 01:45:55,987
Speaker 6: hell for me, a lot of the time that you

2275
01:45:56,027 --> 01:45:59,347
Speaker 6: know and play the quite physical or arguably dealty it

2276
01:45:59,467 --> 01:46:01,107
Speaker 6: to me, that is kind of like a sound of

2277
01:46:01,107 --> 01:46:02,787
Speaker 6: respect that that's all they've got to give me. And

2278
01:46:02,867 --> 01:46:04,587
Speaker 6: so I've kind of I've had to work a lot,

2279
01:46:04,707 --> 01:46:08,107
Speaker 6: you know, mental skilled wives to take the hits and

2280
01:46:08,107 --> 01:46:09,987
Speaker 6: not take it personally and really nest thing to go

2281
01:46:10,107 --> 01:46:13,387
Speaker 6: reset myself every quarter. Otherwise you still you do start

2282
01:46:13,427 --> 01:46:16,067
Speaker 6: to build up a bit of frustration anger, and that's

2283
01:46:16,187 --> 01:46:18,107
Speaker 6: in a cheap shot something or a bad take which

2284
01:46:18,147 --> 01:46:20,347
Speaker 6: ends up being an offensive contact in a turnover. And

2285
01:46:20,427 --> 01:46:23,467
Speaker 6: so yeah, it's it's definitely hard sometimes because people, when

2286
01:46:23,467 --> 01:46:27,147
Speaker 6: it's persistent, always dangerous. But that's just part of the

2287
01:46:27,147 --> 01:46:29,187
Speaker 6: game and goalt, especially with my style, so I'm really

2288
01:46:29,187 --> 01:46:31,427
Speaker 6: willing to just embrace it. And you got to keep

2289
01:46:31,507 --> 01:46:33,627
Speaker 6: youing me to keep performing well in those moments.

2290
01:46:33,747 --> 01:46:35,827
Speaker 2: That's such an interesting situation for you to be in though,

2291
01:46:35,907 --> 01:46:37,667
Speaker 2: right because I got to imagine that you would be

2292
01:46:38,107 --> 01:46:40,707
Speaker 2: get you. There would be the potential to get frustrated

2293
01:46:40,707 --> 01:46:43,587
Speaker 2: when you're targeted, you know, illegally, maybe things aren't getting

2294
01:46:43,587 --> 01:46:44,427
Speaker 2: called against you.

2295
01:46:45,147 --> 01:46:47,227
Speaker 3: Has it been hard to keep a cool head on occasion?

2296
01:46:50,387 --> 01:46:53,827
Speaker 6: Absolutely cool cool head. I don't know anything to gain

2297
01:46:53,867 --> 01:46:56,667
Speaker 6: from loving my head, and the umpires never going to

2298
01:46:56,707 --> 01:47:00,467
Speaker 6: reverse the call, so whever is made is made. And

2299
01:47:00,507 --> 01:47:03,427
Speaker 6: I think I think I've learned this year that speaking

2300
01:47:03,427 --> 01:47:05,227
Speaker 6: out about what tends to doing is not going to

2301
01:47:05,227 --> 01:47:08,187
Speaker 6: help me either, And so yeah, the defense we do

2302
01:47:08,267 --> 01:47:11,227
Speaker 6: their thing I can do mine is we really have

2303
01:47:11,307 --> 01:47:13,427
Speaker 6: to decide above and let it go so we can

2304
01:47:13,507 --> 01:47:15,107
Speaker 6: laugh about it in the shed. So I was getting

2305
01:47:15,107 --> 01:47:18,107
Speaker 6: company on court, but it's really not worth It's great idea.

2306
01:47:18,747 --> 01:47:21,787
Speaker 2: Tactics have had a good season. You're on their home patch,

2307
01:47:21,827 --> 01:47:24,547
Speaker 2: of course this afternoon. How do you assess the threat

2308
01:47:24,587 --> 01:47:27,667
Speaker 2: that they pose for you today?

2309
01:47:27,827 --> 01:47:30,707
Speaker 6: You know, they're at home by castts Wan to go home.

2310
01:47:30,867 --> 01:47:33,947
Speaker 6: They have been leading this whole season and they you know,

2311
01:47:35,027 --> 01:47:37,667
Speaker 6: have a great team and so they'll be looking to

2312
01:47:37,707 --> 01:47:41,147
Speaker 6: win this like we are. And I think I think

2313
01:47:41,187 --> 01:47:43,307
Speaker 6: we know as a group that we can take this game.

2314
01:47:43,387 --> 01:47:46,227
Speaker 6: And they're gonna throw our all the stops and make

2315
01:47:46,227 --> 01:47:49,067
Speaker 6: the pretty changes possible in their attacking the unit as

2316
01:47:49,067 --> 01:47:51,307
Speaker 6: well as effectively. You know, they've got a very strong defense.

2317
01:47:51,427 --> 01:47:54,227
Speaker 6: But Pepeel very confident in what we've got and I

2318
01:47:54,227 --> 01:47:55,947
Speaker 6: think we want more and so I think that will

2319
01:47:55,947 --> 01:47:57,107
Speaker 6: happ us a lot tonight.

2320
01:47:57,227 --> 01:47:58,987
Speaker 3: All right, I can't wait to see how it plays out.

2321
01:47:59,227 --> 01:48:01,947
Speaker 2: Just before you go, as Nippel innovates, this concept of

2322
01:48:01,947 --> 01:48:05,227
Speaker 2: a super shot, a two point shot gets discussed a lot.

2323
01:48:05,267 --> 01:48:07,387
Speaker 2: I know a lot of your goals are from right

2324
01:48:07,427 --> 01:48:09,787
Speaker 2: under the hoop and you know obviously you know, but

2325
01:48:09,827 --> 01:48:11,987
Speaker 2: would you be a fan of the of the two

2326
01:48:12,067 --> 01:48:13,987
Speaker 2: point shot in the AMJ Premiership.

2327
01:48:15,547 --> 01:48:18,587
Speaker 6: Yes, it's interesting question, I think, especially something that we

2328
01:48:18,627 --> 01:48:21,467
Speaker 6: need to think about. I'd love to see three point

2329
01:48:21,467 --> 01:48:24,027
Speaker 6: shot an angel. I think it would changing up with it,

2330
01:48:24,107 --> 01:48:26,667
Speaker 6: even if it is in the last quarter or last

2331
01:48:26,667 --> 01:48:27,947
Speaker 6: five minutes of the game. I don't know how that

2332
01:48:28,067 --> 01:48:30,547
Speaker 6: was implemented, but it was brought me to have to

2333
01:48:30,587 --> 01:48:31,867
Speaker 6: go in my game. I'd have to learn how to

2334
01:48:31,867 --> 01:48:34,227
Speaker 6: shoot well or look for my goal packs in those moments,

2335
01:48:34,227 --> 01:48:36,267
Speaker 6: and I think it really keeps again. It's funny, you know,

2336
01:48:36,667 --> 01:48:38,987
Speaker 6: you watch the men's series and ozpms can come back

2337
01:48:39,307 --> 01:48:42,107
Speaker 6: at any moment because those two points have really changed

2338
01:48:42,107 --> 01:48:45,347
Speaker 6: to score margins and against passing before. So I think

2339
01:48:45,387 --> 01:48:47,587
Speaker 6: that's exciting and I think netfore you have to keep

2340
01:48:47,627 --> 01:48:48,867
Speaker 6: look at the end of that, you know, we have

2341
01:48:48,947 --> 01:48:50,227
Speaker 6: to keep the sports out of and want to keep

2342
01:48:50,227 --> 01:48:52,387
Speaker 6: people coming to play our game. So of course there

2343
01:48:52,387 --> 01:48:54,827
Speaker 6: has given take withth going back to the you know,

2344
01:48:55,147 --> 01:48:57,147
Speaker 6: doing it for for international, but I think it's an

2345
01:48:57,107 --> 01:48:59,627
Speaker 6: opportunity to get more eyes on am D would be

2346
01:48:59,667 --> 01:49:02,707
Speaker 6: to change that shooting kind of boundary.

2347
01:49:02,787 --> 01:49:04,187
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see where that goes.

2348
01:49:04,307 --> 01:49:06,627
Speaker 2: The first point of business for you guys is this

2349
01:49:06,667 --> 01:49:09,187
Speaker 2: afternoon's elimination final. All the best, Grace, thanks for taking

2350
01:49:09,227 --> 01:49:12,867
Speaker 2: the time for a chat, Yanks, No, thank you for yours.

2351
01:49:12,907 --> 01:49:15,227
Speaker 2: Grace saw the best this afternoon. Grace weker out of

2352
01:49:15,227 --> 01:49:18,827
Speaker 2: the Northern Mystics. In charge of stopping her, or certainly

2353
01:49:18,867 --> 01:49:23,267
Speaker 2: partially anyway is Tactics defender Karen Berger. So how they

2354
01:49:23,347 --> 01:49:27,027
Speaker 2: feeling as they look to host this game and get

2355
01:49:27,027 --> 01:49:29,147
Speaker 2: another crack at the Central polse? Who remember a week

2356
01:49:29,187 --> 01:49:33,987
Speaker 2: ago they played effectively what was a straight shootout for

2357
01:49:34,027 --> 01:49:36,627
Speaker 2: hosting rights for the Grand Final. The Pols won that

2358
01:49:36,747 --> 01:49:39,427
Speaker 2: game and we'll host the Grand final. The Tactics now

2359
01:49:39,427 --> 01:49:41,707
Speaker 2: have to go the other way through the elimination final.

2360
01:49:41,747 --> 01:49:44,347
Speaker 3: How they feeling? Karen Berger's on the show right after

2361
01:49:44,387 --> 01:49:46,587

2368
01:50:04,107 --> 01:50:07,707
Speaker 2: sent to pass at four Tactics defend. Karen Berger joins

2369
01:50:07,747 --> 01:50:09,987
Speaker 2: us cuta. Karen, thanks for taking the time. How have

2370
01:50:10,027 --> 01:50:12,707
Speaker 2: your preparations been for this one, Kidder.

2371
01:50:12,867 --> 01:50:16,107
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's been a bit of a quick turnaround for us, so,

2372
01:50:17,107 --> 01:50:19,507
Speaker 22: you know, not as much time on court as we

2373
01:50:19,667 --> 01:50:23,067
Speaker 22: usually do in a normal prep week, but doing that

2374
01:50:23,147 --> 01:50:25,667
Speaker 22: for certain reasons to rest the bodies and make sure

2375
01:50:25,707 --> 01:50:30,027
Speaker 22: that we're at our peak performance tonight. So a bit shorter,

2376
01:50:30,227 --> 01:50:31,987
Speaker 22: but the times that we were on court, we were

2377
01:50:32,067 --> 01:50:35,587
Speaker 22: giving it to each other, going hard, so quality not quantity.

2378
01:50:36,307 --> 01:50:39,027
Speaker 2: So given the strong start to the season, is there

2379
01:50:39,067 --> 01:50:42,347
Speaker 2: any sense of I don't know, deflation that you that

2380
01:50:42,427 --> 01:50:45,467
Speaker 2: you're playing in this playing game, this elimination final to

2381
01:50:45,507 --> 01:50:46,427
Speaker 2: make the Grand Final?

2382
01:50:47,707 --> 01:50:48,347
Speaker 3: Oh gosh.

2383
01:50:48,347 --> 01:50:52,907
Speaker 22: You know, it's more frustrations with ourselves, you know, and

2384
01:50:52,987 --> 01:50:55,547
Speaker 22: having that opportunity to potentially be at the top and

2385
01:50:56,147 --> 01:51:00,187
Speaker 22: you know, not having that but still staying positive. You know,

2386
01:51:00,227 --> 01:51:02,987
Speaker 22: we had to remind ourselves coming back after that last

2387
01:51:03,587 --> 01:51:06,267
Speaker 22: game against the Pulse that we're in the semis. You know,

2388
01:51:06,387 --> 01:51:07,987
Speaker 22: there's so many teams that would want to be in

2389
01:51:07,987 --> 01:51:09,907
Speaker 22: this position, and we still have a crack at it.

2390
01:51:09,987 --> 01:51:13,227
Speaker 22: So we to pack ourselves up and stay positive and

2391
01:51:13,467 --> 01:51:15,667
Speaker 22: you know, give the time and energy to the preps

2392
01:51:15,707 --> 01:51:19,707
Speaker 22: going into the see me that it deserves. So yeah,

2393
01:51:20,147 --> 01:51:24,387
Speaker 22: I guess we've probably started with a bang. But like

2394
01:51:24,427 --> 01:51:26,867
Speaker 22: in any normal season, you know, you've got teams that

2395
01:51:26,987 --> 01:51:30,147
Speaker 22: start learning to play against each other and so you know,

2396
01:51:30,347 --> 01:51:32,187
Speaker 22: just because you went earlier on the season doesn't mean

2397
01:51:32,227 --> 01:51:35,027
Speaker 22: you necessarily well towards the end, so but likely to

2398
01:51:35,067 --> 01:51:37,547
Speaker 22: be in this position. So yeah, Well.

2399
01:51:37,467 --> 01:51:39,667
Speaker 2: You talked about that strong start, the momentum that you

2400
01:51:39,747 --> 01:51:42,827
Speaker 2: had at the start of the season. How challenging is

2401
01:51:42,827 --> 01:51:45,227
Speaker 2: it to rediscover that? Is you hit the hit the

2402
01:51:45,227 --> 01:51:45,827
Speaker 2: business end.

2403
01:51:48,867 --> 01:51:51,267
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean when things are going well, it's hard

2404
01:51:51,267 --> 01:51:53,907
Speaker 22: to pin point what you need to work on. I

2405
01:51:53,947 --> 01:51:57,507
Speaker 22: guess that's where our analysis comes in and you know,

2406
01:51:58,187 --> 01:52:00,547
Speaker 22: figuring out what areas we need to improve, and you

2407
01:52:00,587 --> 01:52:04,107
Speaker 22: don't really find those areas until you actually have a loss.

2408
01:52:04,147 --> 01:52:07,467
Speaker 22: So like every loss we've had this season have been

2409
01:52:07,507 --> 01:52:10,587
Speaker 22: an opportunity for us to learn from it. And it's

2410
01:52:10,627 --> 01:52:12,667
Speaker 22: whether we do learn from that and take that into

2411
01:52:12,707 --> 01:52:17,507
Speaker 22: the next game. You know, is very crucial, especially prepping

2412
01:52:17,547 --> 01:52:20,307
Speaker 22: for a semi in a final. You have to incrementally

2413
01:52:20,387 --> 01:52:22,707
Speaker 22: get better over the season to make sure that you

2414
01:52:22,787 --> 01:52:25,707
Speaker 22: come the semis in the finals that you've worked on

2415
01:52:25,747 --> 01:52:27,747
Speaker 22: it and you know what your go to is and

2416
01:52:27,787 --> 01:52:31,067
Speaker 22: that you've fixed it so you can put a pure,

2417
01:52:31,187 --> 01:52:34,667
Speaker 22: clean performance out there, a sixty minute performance out there.

2418
01:52:34,707 --> 01:52:37,547
Speaker 22: So hopefully we've done that over the last few weeks

2419
01:52:37,547 --> 01:52:40,227
Speaker 22: and we can have a sixty performance game today.

2420
01:52:40,667 --> 01:52:40,947
Speaker 5: All right.

2421
01:52:40,987 --> 01:52:43,467
Speaker 2: We look at the Mystics since the return of Grace

2422
01:52:43,507 --> 01:52:47,787
Speaker 2: Wek from her injury. They've gone four and one and

2423
01:52:47,867 --> 01:52:51,267
Speaker 2: scored over sixty in all but one of those games.

2424
01:52:51,307 --> 01:52:54,347
Speaker 2: So as a defender, how tough is it to slow

2425
01:52:54,387 --> 01:52:55,467
Speaker 2: them down? To slow her down?

2426
01:52:56,947 --> 01:52:59,747
Speaker 22: Yeah, gosh. Whenever we come up against them, they always

2427
01:52:59,787 --> 01:53:02,347
Speaker 22: ask me which position I prefer, and I say, when

2428
01:53:02,347 --> 01:53:06,467
Speaker 22: I come up against players like that, I prefer playing outside.

2429
01:53:06,827 --> 01:53:09,587
Speaker 22: I think the key is to just focus on the

2430
01:53:09,667 --> 01:53:12,547
Speaker 22: outside and what we can do before it gets to

2431
01:53:12,547 --> 01:53:16,467
Speaker 22: the back, because she's such a solid target for them

2432
01:53:16,467 --> 01:53:17,747
Speaker 22: at the back, and you know the ball is going

2433
01:53:17,787 --> 01:53:20,427
Speaker 22: to go in any way, and relying on our keepers

2434
01:53:20,467 --> 01:53:22,347
Speaker 22: to get the balls is a bit of a bigger

2435
01:53:22,347 --> 01:53:24,627
Speaker 22: ask so it's up to the rest of the team

2436
01:53:24,707 --> 01:53:26,507
Speaker 22: to put as much pressure on the rest of the

2437
01:53:26,547 --> 01:53:28,347
Speaker 22: court and the rest of the players to make sure

2438
01:53:28,347 --> 01:53:31,147
Speaker 22: that the ball doesn't get there. So it is a

2439
01:53:31,147 --> 01:53:33,587
Speaker 22: bit of a mental shift from doing your work on

2440
01:53:33,627 --> 01:53:35,547
Speaker 22: your own to just trying to get ball wherever you

2441
01:53:35,587 --> 01:53:36,867
Speaker 22: can so as easier.

2442
01:53:36,987 --> 01:53:40,227
Speaker 2: Or is the strategy actually to stop the ball getting

2443
01:53:40,387 --> 01:53:43,187
Speaker 2: to the shooting circle, to steal it a bit further

2444
01:53:43,267 --> 01:53:47,907
Speaker 2: up the court, then try and slow her down specifically exactly.

2445
01:53:47,987 --> 01:53:52,427
Speaker 22: You know, come going into a jumping race with grace,

2446
01:53:52,427 --> 01:53:55,347
Speaker 22: you're always going to come off second. I think I've

2447
01:53:55,507 --> 01:53:58,347
Speaker 22: only ever had gotten one ball off r on a

2448
01:53:58,427 --> 01:54:02,467
Speaker 22: jump and I still hold on to that one. So yeah,

2449
01:54:02,587 --> 01:54:05,667
Speaker 22: I think it's very important to not be worried about

2450
01:54:05,707 --> 01:54:08,507
Speaker 22: the contest of that ball going in, but more so

2451
01:54:08,667 --> 01:54:10,987
Speaker 22: worrying about how it gets now, whether we can get

2452
01:54:10,987 --> 01:54:12,027
Speaker 22: the ball before it does.

2453
01:54:12,547 --> 01:54:14,787
Speaker 2: If you do one this afternoon, you face the pulse

2454
01:54:14,787 --> 01:54:17,747
Speaker 2: again next week in the grand final. Do you give

2455
01:54:17,747 --> 01:54:21,667
Speaker 2: yourself any you know, any I guess leeway to look

2456
01:54:21,667 --> 01:54:24,307
Speaker 2: ahead to that the possibility of a grand final, or

2457
01:54:24,747 --> 01:54:26,267
Speaker 2: or do you really just focus on today.

2458
01:54:26,787 --> 01:54:30,067
Speaker 22: It's definitely a balancing act because On one side, you

2459
01:54:30,227 --> 01:54:33,147
Speaker 22: want to put it out there and confidence that you

2460
01:54:33,227 --> 01:54:35,587
Speaker 22: know you're starting to think about the next one because

2461
01:54:35,587 --> 01:54:37,867
Speaker 22: you're confident in yourself that you're going to win the

2462
01:54:38,267 --> 01:54:40,787
Speaker 22: one coming up. But it's also I feel like we

2463
01:54:40,867 --> 01:54:43,467
Speaker 22: have been guilty in the past, are worrying too much

2464
01:54:43,507 --> 01:54:45,907
Speaker 22: about the future and not necessarily too much of the

2465
01:54:45,947 --> 01:54:49,107
Speaker 22: game at hand. So it's definitely a balancing act and

2466
01:54:49,267 --> 01:54:51,867
Speaker 22: having that confidence that we are going forward and we

2467
01:54:51,907 --> 01:54:54,267
Speaker 22: are going to play the next games, but making sure

2468
01:54:54,307 --> 01:54:56,387
Speaker 22: that we give the time and effort to the game

2469
01:54:56,427 --> 01:54:59,827
Speaker 22: that we're coming up, that we actually doing our due

2470
01:54:59,827 --> 01:55:02,027
Speaker 22: diligence to make sure we actually do win that game,

2471
01:55:02,107 --> 01:55:02,707
Speaker 22: so that we.

2472
01:55:02,667 --> 01:55:04,787
Speaker 2: Can look forward, all right, if we doom ot on

2473
01:55:04,827 --> 01:55:08,107
Speaker 2: the season as a whole. Car eleven and four across

2474
01:55:08,147 --> 01:55:10,987
Speaker 2: the regular season. Last year you missed the finals. I

2475
01:55:11,027 --> 01:55:12,787
Speaker 2: know the job's not done, But would you say that

2476
01:55:12,827 --> 01:55:16,067
Speaker 2: the regular season's been a success and that the team's

2477
01:55:16,107 --> 01:55:18,907
Speaker 2: pretty happy with how you've gone in twenty twenty four.

2478
01:55:19,147 --> 01:55:22,307
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's funny, like we're all very happy with our performance.

2479
01:55:22,467 --> 01:55:25,307
Speaker 22: But you know, unless you're in that final, it doesn't

2480
01:55:25,347 --> 01:55:27,467
Speaker 22: really matter what you did during the season, how you

2481
01:55:27,587 --> 01:55:30,987
Speaker 22: got there. And so part of that is acknowledging that

2482
01:55:31,027 --> 01:55:33,227
Speaker 22: we have had a good season, we are playing really

2483
01:55:33,227 --> 01:55:37,507
Speaker 22: good netball. But you know, the ultimate is to try

2484
01:55:37,547 --> 01:55:41,427
Speaker 22: and be in that final. So and that's just the

2485
01:55:41,507 --> 01:55:44,107
Speaker 22: nature of high performance sport that we focus so much

2486
01:55:44,227 --> 01:55:46,827
Speaker 22: on what we need to improve on and how we

2487
01:55:46,867 --> 01:55:49,627
Speaker 22: can be better, that we can be quite hard on ourselves.

2488
01:55:49,667 --> 01:55:52,347
Speaker 22: But that's just the nature of it, and it's part

2489
01:55:52,387 --> 01:55:55,187
Speaker 22: of high performance support. So unless we're in that final,

2490
01:55:55,267 --> 01:55:57,027
Speaker 22: how we got there doesn't really matter, does it.

2491
01:55:57,227 --> 01:56:00,027
Speaker 2: No, No, you're right there, and I know that it's

2492
01:56:00,067 --> 01:56:02,307
Speaker 2: always team first for you. But a good personal milestone

2493
01:56:02,307 --> 01:56:04,947
Speaker 2: this season. Fifty games now you've played for the Tactics.

2494
01:56:04,987 --> 01:56:06,147
Speaker 2: Have you enjoyed the move South?

2495
01:56:06,907 --> 01:56:10,307
Speaker 22: No, it's been good. I've enjoyed it. I honestly, when

2496
01:56:10,307 --> 01:56:13,427
Speaker 22: I first moved, I wasn't expecting the move. It was

2497
01:56:14,067 --> 01:56:15,907
Speaker 22: a bit of a shock to me to also have

2498
01:56:15,987 --> 01:56:18,067
Speaker 22: thought of to move down to christ Church as well.

2499
01:56:18,107 --> 01:56:20,987
Speaker 22: But over the last four years it's really grown on me.

2500
01:56:21,027 --> 01:56:23,147
Speaker 22: I've really started to enjoy it and I've built a

2501
01:56:23,187 --> 01:56:27,227
Speaker 22: really good support system around myself down here as well.

2502
01:56:27,307 --> 01:56:31,107
Speaker 22: So I've loved it. I love the support we get

2503
01:56:31,107 --> 01:56:35,107
Speaker 22: here as well, so, yeah, it's been a good It's

2504
01:56:35,107 --> 01:56:37,627
Speaker 22: come around so fast the fifty Games. I couldn't believe

2505
01:56:37,627 --> 01:56:39,747
Speaker 22: it when I did get it, but I guess that's

2506
01:56:39,747 --> 01:56:41,587
Speaker 22: just part of sport when you enjoy it so much

2507
01:56:41,667 --> 01:56:42,867
Speaker 22: you forget about the time.

2508
01:56:43,107 --> 01:56:44,187
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very cool.

2509
01:56:44,387 --> 01:56:47,107
Speaker 2: And internationally, looking a bit further down the track, Tony

2510
01:56:47,187 --> 01:56:49,467
Speaker 2: Jamison Cup coming up, have you looked forward at all

2511
01:56:49,507 --> 01:56:51,827
Speaker 2: to the Silver Ferns fixtures this year.

2512
01:56:53,307 --> 01:56:55,347
Speaker 22: Yeah, you obviously have to keep that in mind, and

2513
01:56:56,027 --> 01:56:59,587
Speaker 22: the Ferns team also stays in touch and making sure

2514
01:56:59,627 --> 01:57:01,147
Speaker 22: that you're taking off what you need to take off

2515
01:57:01,147 --> 01:57:05,387
Speaker 22: to make sure that you are mentally physically prepared come trials.

2516
01:57:05,467 --> 01:57:08,067
Speaker 22: So give have had that in the back of my mind,

2517
01:57:08,267 --> 01:57:11,827
Speaker 22: but you know, not thinking too far ahead because we've

2518
01:57:11,827 --> 01:57:14,427
Speaker 22: got a job to do here, so taking it day

2519
01:57:14,427 --> 01:57:16,747
Speaker 22: by day. You know, now that it's come a little

2520
01:57:16,747 --> 01:57:18,787
Speaker 22: bit close obvious to see, there's a bit more thinking

2521
01:57:18,827 --> 01:57:21,347
Speaker 22: around there and also planning around what you could potentially

2522
01:57:21,387 --> 01:57:25,387
Speaker 22: look like. So but you never know, there's some amazing

2523
01:57:25,427 --> 01:57:29,467
Speaker 22: players out there putting their hand up. So come trials

2524
01:57:29,467 --> 01:57:31,787
Speaker 22: and it's going to be very competitive and we'll see

2525
01:57:31,787 --> 01:57:32,987
Speaker 22: what comes on that.

2526
01:57:33,227 --> 01:57:33,427
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2527
01:57:33,867 --> 01:57:35,067
Speaker 3: Constellation Cup as well.

2528
01:57:35,107 --> 01:57:37,507
Speaker 2: If we look even further down, you left fond memories

2529
01:57:37,507 --> 01:57:39,667
Speaker 2: of that final match of last year, was your fiftieth

2530
01:57:39,667 --> 01:57:42,627
Speaker 2: for the Ferns and MVP performance. I know that's a

2531
01:57:42,627 --> 01:57:44,147
Speaker 2: long way in the past now, but can do you

2532
01:57:44,187 --> 01:57:46,667
Speaker 2: take confidence from that sort of thing as you as

2533
01:57:46,667 --> 01:57:48,587
Speaker 2: you look to you know, to wear that black dress again.

2534
01:57:49,147 --> 01:57:52,827
Speaker 22: Yeah. I guess when you play a game like that,

2535
01:57:53,027 --> 01:57:55,907
Speaker 22: not just as an individual, but as a team as well,

2536
01:57:56,147 --> 01:57:58,547
Speaker 22: it gives you so much confidence in what the team

2537
01:57:58,627 --> 01:58:02,147
Speaker 22: is capable of doing. And so I guess for us

2538
01:58:02,187 --> 01:58:05,387
Speaker 22: it's really important to know where we finished off last year,

2539
01:58:06,547 --> 01:58:08,787
Speaker 22: knowing that we are capable of doing it and stepping

2540
01:58:08,867 --> 01:58:12,427
Speaker 22: up from there, not going backwards. So especially against the

2541
01:58:12,467 --> 01:58:15,427
Speaker 22: team like Ozzie, you can't afford to give one step backward.

2542
01:58:15,547 --> 01:58:17,907
Speaker 22: So the standard's been set now we need to make

2543
01:58:17,947 --> 01:58:19,467
Speaker 22: sure that we just keep going up from there.

2544
01:58:19,627 --> 01:58:21,147
Speaker 3: Indeed, all right, that's all ahead.

2545
01:58:21,547 --> 01:58:24,827
Speaker 2: The most important order of businesses this afternoon as you

2546
01:58:24,867 --> 01:58:26,907
Speaker 2: take on the mystics for a place in the Grand Final. Curen,

2547
01:58:26,947 --> 01:58:28,707
Speaker 2: really appreciate your time. Thanks for taking the time for

2548
01:58:28,707 --> 01:58:29,307
Speaker 2: a chat today.

2549
01:58:29,707 --> 01:58:31,467
Speaker 22: Cool, Thank you so much. To a nice day.

2550
01:58:31,507 --> 01:58:33,107
Speaker 2: You have a nice day. Too in all the best

2551
01:58:33,147 --> 01:58:35,667
Speaker 2: this afternoon Karen Karen Berger. They're out of the tactics,

2552
01:58:36,227 --> 01:58:39,947
Speaker 2: so four o'clock this afternoon, elimination final in christ Churchful

2553
01:58:39,947 --> 01:58:43,027
Speaker 2: commentary of that on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio Center Pass

2554
01:58:43,027 --> 01:58:45,827
Speaker 2: at four Malcolm Jordan and Evon Willering have the call

2555
01:58:46,267 --> 01:58:49,507
Speaker 2: for you Leon on email Piney. The Summer Games are

2556
01:58:49,507 --> 01:58:53,947
Speaker 2: a fantastic distraction from the ad nauseum of the usual social, political, economic,

2557
01:58:54,027 --> 01:58:57,627
Speaker 2: and worldly headlines. We ingest on a daily basis really

2558
01:58:57,627 --> 01:59:00,547
Speaker 2: looking forward, especially to see how our Black Fern sevens go.

2559
01:59:01,187 --> 01:59:04,627
Speaker 2: With Porscha Tyler and possibly Sarah bowing out after the games.

2560
01:59:04,867 --> 01:59:08,827
Speaker 2: Also our female Chai is with Dame Lisa Carrington leading

2561
01:59:08,827 --> 01:59:11,587
Speaker 2: the way. We'll be compelling viewing well worth the sleep

2562
01:59:11,627 --> 01:59:16,347
Speaker 2: deprivation over the next couple of weeks. Absolutely, I totally

2563
01:59:16,387 --> 01:59:19,227
Speaker 2: agree ly on the sleep deprivation is a small price

2564
01:59:19,307 --> 01:59:25,987
Speaker 2: to pay for being able to just luxuriate, immerse yourself

2565
01:59:26,427 --> 01:59:29,267
Speaker 2: in so much high quality sport eleven away from three.

2566
01:59:29,707 --> 01:59:32,627
Speaker 2: So if you are one of those who likes to

2567
01:59:32,627 --> 01:59:34,387
Speaker 2: get a bit of sleep, it also likes to dip

2568
01:59:34,427 --> 01:59:37,147
Speaker 2: in and out of sport. The best way to do

2569
01:59:37,227 --> 01:59:40,587
Speaker 2: that is with radio commentary with audio commentary, and we've

2570
01:59:40,587 --> 01:59:44,147
Speaker 2: got you covered on gold Sport and iHeartRadio, so you

2571
01:59:44,187 --> 01:59:46,347
Speaker 2: can either listen. You can either listen on you know

2572
01:59:46,387 --> 01:59:49,667
Speaker 2: you've got old fashioned transistor radio beside the bed or

2573
01:59:49,707 --> 01:59:53,427
Speaker 2: under the pillow with a you know, your earphone in

2574
01:59:53,467 --> 01:59:56,027
Speaker 2: so you don't disturb anybody around you, or you can

2575
01:59:56,067 --> 02:00:00,627
Speaker 2: do it on your device. Just download the iHeartRadio app

2576
02:00:00,667 --> 02:00:03,547
Speaker 2: and then look for gold Sport. And we have wall

2577
02:00:03,587 --> 02:00:07,147
Speaker 2: to wall coverage starting at seven o'clock every night, going

2578
02:00:07,227 --> 02:00:09,147
Speaker 2: right through the night until there are no.

2579
02:00:09,187 --> 02:00:12,147
Speaker 3: More Kiwi athletes anyway to call.

2580
02:00:12,227 --> 02:00:15,107
Speaker 2: So it's kind of seven at night until I want

2581
02:00:15,107 --> 02:00:17,827
Speaker 2: to say nine in the morning, and we'll have it

2582
02:00:17,947 --> 02:00:20,147
Speaker 2: wall to wall for you. And it all kicks off

2583
02:00:20,147 --> 02:00:22,627
Speaker 2: as I say, tonight. We've had, you know, the last

2584
02:00:22,667 --> 02:00:24,707
Speaker 2: couple of nights almost bit of a soft launch, I

2585
02:00:24,787 --> 02:00:27,867
Speaker 2: might say, with football and sevens. But tonight, well look

2586
02:00:27,867 --> 02:00:30,667
Speaker 2: at this. We're underway at seven o'clock tonight with rowing

2587
02:00:31,307 --> 02:00:34,987
Speaker 2: the men's single skulls, Tom Macintosh in action. We've got

2588
02:00:36,467 --> 02:00:38,987
Speaker 2: Emma Twig and the women's single skulls and then later

2589
02:00:39,067 --> 02:00:42,747
Speaker 2: on the double skulls for both men and women. Also

2590
02:00:42,787 --> 02:00:47,067
Speaker 2: tonight's swimming, We've got hockey, we've got cycling, we've got

2591
02:00:47,067 --> 02:00:51,627
Speaker 2: canoe slalom, more football, more sevens and then tomorrow morning.
