1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Jason Pine is with me in our sports talk hoostap Piny. Hello, Heather,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: do you think Auckland Auckland f C were robbed?

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't. I don't think they were, much

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: as they will protest about the goal that was disallowed,

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 2: which would have brought it back to two to two

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: on aggregate and set ups up for a grandstand finish

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: and may even who knows, have propelled them into the

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Grand Final. My personal view is, and it's not the

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: commonly held view or necessarily the universal view. I thought

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: the ball was out. I thought I thought it curved out,

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: came back and onto the head of Logan Rogerson and

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: he equalized. You will not convince Steve Coricker of that.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: He is absolutely adamant and still today will be absolutely

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: adamant that that ball didn't cross the line, or at

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: the very least that not enough examination of it was given.

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Fact is, though Melbourn Victory were better than Auckland f

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: C on Saturday night, they deserve to win the game,

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: which I think this is kind of masking in some

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: ways they were the better team. They deserve to go through.

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't take away from Auckland f C SUPERB season but

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: they'll be very very flat today because they were expecting

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: this week to be Grand Final week and now it's not.

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: Did Melbourne just rise to the occasion little Auckland choke?

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: Good question. I think Melbourne victory certainly made it tactically

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: difficult for Auckland f C. They set up with a

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,919
Speaker 2: slightly different formation, which in I Walkland f C weren't

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: expecting they even went so far. You have to give

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: the other team your team list and a formation an

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: hour before kickoff and the formation that was handed to

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: auklandle f C wasn't what they lined up as, so

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: a bit of you know, you don't have to you know,

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: you can just say what we changed down night at

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: the last minute, but it's up to Aukland f C to,

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: you know, to adjust to that. I think Melbourn victory

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: a very very good finals team and they showed their experience.

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: Only finished fifth in the regular season, Heather, you know,

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: and here they are in the Grand Final and I

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: think favorites to win it. So maybe I don't think

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: you say Auckland f C choked. I don't think that's

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: the right phrase. I just don't think they rose to

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: the occasion. As much as Melbourne Victory did.

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Is the coach being a sore loser?

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a good look, right, He's still complaining

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: about something which was only one part of the game.

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: I like Steve Coricker. He's a very emotional, passionate football

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: coach and has clearly used that to drive his team

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: to heights this season no one expected. But you know,

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: the more and more you go on about it, the

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: more it looks as though you are, you know, just

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: just having a bit of a winge. And look, I

51
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: don't I haven't even seen him congratulate Melbourne Victory on

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: their win, whereas the previous week the Melbourne Victory coach said, look,

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: Awkwlam were better than us. They did well, they won

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: that game. You know, of course he had another game

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: to make up for it, which Steve Corecker doesn't have.

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just kind of think now it's like

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: it's done. That's top level sport. It's cruel sometimes and

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: not everything goes your way.

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Hey, Pine Edison. After that loss to the Raiders, is

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: are the Worries still top four?

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: Yep? Yep, Well they're still top four on the table,

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: and I see, I think they're still a top four side.

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: They've proven this year, over the last five games which

64
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: they've won, that they can close out tight games. Ironically enough,

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: they couldn't last night another single for margin, this time

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: in the raiders favor. But I think the NRL is

67
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: so even this year. You know, the Panthers are right

68
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: down the bottom. The Storm aren't necessarily the force that

69
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: they were. The Bulldogs are only two points ahead of

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: the Warriors. I honestly think they're playing well enough to

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: still be in that top four conversation. Look, they've got

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: to bounce back from this, as they have in their

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: previous losses this season. But yeah, I saw enough, especially

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: with players, to come back to suggest this is delivery,

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: good team and one that could well challenge the top

76
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: four year.

77
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Now, congratulations on just being such a fantastic commentator at

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,440

82
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: I was offered a space in a corporate box. Actually
