I appreciate it. And you know 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: you've worked with me. You know how much work goes 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: into the show, so it is nice, you know, for 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: us to get that recognition. Now, mate, tell me, yeah, 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: there is so much happening when it comes to sport. 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the fact that the 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: Territori Zone Lloyd Johnson has called well he's he's basically 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: he's making his AFL debut for the Gold Coast Sons. 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: He's a great talented young. 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: Bloke k Oh certainly, and yeah, it was so good 25 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: for him obviously getting debut and by the sounds of it, 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: he obviously enjoyed it. The best feeling, you know, to 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: be able to debut you and it's so good for 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: him to have that moment in his career where you 29 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: make your debut. It's obviously a dream for a lot 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: of youngsters coming through and yeah, for him, yeah it was. 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: It was nothing short of that. So yeah, it was. 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: It was a shame that they couldn't get a win 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: because they'll playing Carlson and they're leading for most of 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: the game. Carlton at the end came through and I 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: think they kept their wind streak. But nonetheless it was 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: a good game from Gold Coast. And for Lloyd Johnson, Yeah, 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: it's good for him. He's only eighteen years old. Incredible, Yeah, 38 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: a long career ahead for Hope. 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, well done to him. That is phenomenal stuff. Max. 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: There's been a lot going on. I do want to 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: say though last weekend, of course, that FIFA World Cup fever, 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: well it hit an absolute, an absolute high. They were 43 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: phenomenal games. The poor old Matilda's not taking out the 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: bronze or not coming through in the end coming forth, 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: but gee, they. 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: Did us proud, oh certainly, and yeah, it was a 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 2: bit of a shame Sweeden. They obviously got the win 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: for the bronze medal for third place, but obviously the 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Matildas are and what they did and what they were 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: able to achieve was incredible and it's starting to have 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: a flow on effect now and the hope is that 52 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: the momentum doesn't stop. And it was good just before 53 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: I was just scrolling through social media and I saw 54 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 2: Melbourne victory. They've already broken their record for the memberships 55 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: for their women's team. Awesome, So you know, it's good. 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: It's good to see that that's continuing. And hopefully the 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: momentum continues to flow and people can support the national competition, 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: the A League and the Women's A League, so that'd 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: be that'd be great to see that continue. And obviously, 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: you know, at a grassroots level, money's getting pumped in, 61 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: so hopefully we can see that here in the territory, 62 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: see a few facilities getting upgraded, and I know there's 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: some talks going on between some of the clubs to 64 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: get facilities upgraded. So that's good. Good, Yeah, hopefully we 65 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: can see that come to life. 66 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Maxie, what else is going on around the territory 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to sport, I mean there's always so much, 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: but what are some of the highlights at the moment. 69 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: Well, the Into PGA that happened that finished on Sunday 70 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: and started last Thursday. So a guy from Sydney, Daniel Gaale, 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: he won the event. He had a remarkable Thursday and 72 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: Friday round and then Saturday it was windy so he 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: made a few errors and lost his lead. But then 74 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: on the last day on Sunday he shot I think 75 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: it was six under to win, so it was a 76 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: great effort from him. He's a twenty seven year old 77 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: from Sydney and second place was a Queensland Chris Crabtree, 78 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: who was on debut his first tour. So it's good 79 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: to see, you know, so many different golfers come up 80 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: to the territory. And for Parmerson Golf Club, you know, 81 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: they did a magnificent job putting it on and it's 82 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: really good for the golf course to post that event 83 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: and they're getting their clubhouse done now, so next year 84 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: it's going to go to another level. Good Once that's 85 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: all done up. It's good. 86 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: It's good. There's always so much going on when it 87 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: comes to sport, but it's good to see that investment 88 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: in sport as well, and like at that grass roots 89 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: level where you are then able to see bigger events 90 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: take place here in the NT. 91 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, sport does a great job 92 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: of bringing communities together. So you know, if sports are thriving, 93 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: then people are coming together and you know, keeping people 94 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: off the streets and keeping them busy, which is a 95 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: great thing, especially for the for the young children and 96 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: teenagers coming through. You know, sport's a really good opportunity 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: for them to build friendships and and all that. So 98 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 2: you know, if you don't have the facilities though, it 99 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: can make it tough. And I know that there's clubs 100 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: out there now doing it tough, you know, with some facilities. 101 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: It happens across the whole country, around the whole world, 102 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: So the better job we can do. You know, it's 103 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: really good to have sport thriving and hopefully facilities and 104 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: there are a number of really good facilities in the territory. 105 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: Obviously Marara Is is the obvious. You know, the sporting 106 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: complex there is outstanding so you know, it's it's good 107 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: to have that and and have people playing sport. 108 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh totally.
