There were injurie people, this land was never seated, 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:10.360 always was always will be. 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:16.560 Well. Hi there, I'm Georgia Tani. 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.319 You're listening to two Good sports and sports news told 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.480 differently and jelm me on a level of one to unhinged. 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.840 Where are we this week? I mean we're really off 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:25.360 the scale. 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.320 You don't want to know how the chat's been going 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.040 before we've gone to wear We've cried, we've laughed, Georgie. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:30.760 On my spell off her chair. 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.760 But I'm so excited to bring to you my good 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.760 sport of the week. Because excited, My good sport of 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.120 the week is Tom Cruise. Because, dear listener, if you 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.879 happen to miss this, I don't know where you've been. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.840 You've been under a rock. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.600 But Georgie flew to Japan to interview Tom Cruise, Yes, 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.920 and somehow made it about sport because she showed the 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.680 greatest action actor of the modern era, nay of all time, 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.480 a video of herself running. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.720 Where did your brain? Where does your brain go? 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:11.840 I actually thought that he would be impressed, but there 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.280 was part of me that I was like, this is 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.920 going to do so well. It's funny, it's carefree, it's nonchalant. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.560 And then I started filming myself running and I thought, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.800 wait a second, have I been gaslighting myself my whole life? 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.400 You know? Maybe I'm okay at running. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.120 So to set up the scene, Georgie's taken down the 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.320 footpath in Elwood and has got her fiance Rob to 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.560 jog along to get the action at the arms. It's 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.440 very iconic, Tom Cruise, That's all I had to do. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.520 So this is what Tom had to say to said 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.680 video ready, nicely done. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.680 Actually don't I saw recently Glenn Power, one of your 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.440 custmates and friends from Top Gun. That's right, so that 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.320 you gave him advice that you've got to film yourself 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.480 when you're running because you're never as cool as you 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.200 think you're not. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:04.680 My training has begun, mister. The last of the audience 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:05.400 seeing about ut. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.000 Very nice and stuff. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.480 How do we run? Like Tom Cruise? What do I 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.440 what do we need to do? What's the process? 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:21.400 Really, he's got the expression I'm just I'm just gonna 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.919 leave it there. You'll have to go and watch the 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.120 cliff to find out how to run like Tom Cruise, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.400 but for somebody who can tell has done a lot 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.359 of media in his life. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:28.840 I reckon. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.640 He was like, this, isn't you a girl in a 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.280 Taylor Swift top and some faded. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.120 Bike shorts showing me what's up? 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.280 I remember when I was a full disclosure team, when 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.760 I was heading over to Japan, I had told Jelmy 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.560 my plans to film myself running and I said, what 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.160 do you think he's going to make of this incredible 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:52.120 vision of me essentially just recreating Usain Bolt's career, You know, like, 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.360 what do you think he's going to think? And Gelmy goes, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.040 you could have at least want a. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.239 Matching at leisure. What were you doing? 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:04.160 I think Lemon would support your quests, that's all, or 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.720 you should support your own quest and body parts wearing 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.919 something appropriate. But it was also I didn't even have 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.200 to see that you're wearing a Tailor Swift shirt to 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.560 know that's what you would have been wearing. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.120 In terms of oh, how good was how good was 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.800 the review? Though? Oh yeah, look at you with the arms, 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.440 with the stepping like no one's ever run before. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.280 But again, I wonder if Matt Shervington, I E one 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.359 of the fastest men our countries ever produced, who went 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.800 for Sunrise decided to show a video of himself running. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.360 Well, I mean, I think we all know who would 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.280 be more impressive. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.800 Oh yeah, the video that would be most memorable this guy, 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:42.600 this guy. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.640 But also you now have what I would call a 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.840 friendship now with Tom Cruise. You've got met several times 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.760 and he's like, hey, George, you nice to see you. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.520 Yeah, he's very, very lovely. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.720 He remembered who I was, of course he did, And 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.720 I think that that now allows me to say he's 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.320 a friend of the pod, friend of the pod. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.600 Sports love sport, he's a good sport. Next time we 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.480 could probably get him to say that. But sure, it 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.360 was on the intro for the rest of the time. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.280 I think it was implied. I think it was implied. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.880 Look, it was one of those pinch me moments of 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.440 your career that you're just like. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.720 Wow, I'm doing what in Japan? In Japan? 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.039 In Japan, And it was very very it was a 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.760 wonderful chat. We got ten minutes. You know how junkets work, 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.359 and it's literally I'm talking to Tom Cruise. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:24.240 But I've also got. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.120 One eye on the fifteen stuff that are just off 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.440 into the corner that are there giving me Dicky Wilson's. 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.680 About to bust through the door and ask the same question. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.160 Yeah, to be like, let me in, let me in. 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.359 There was a lovely Japanese man who was on the 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.400 floor with a card that just said times up, trying 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.560 to like get in, and I was like, yeah, noticed it, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.360 but Tom was still talking, so I was like, I'm 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.839 not wrapping Tom Cruise, and then like Tom, No, one 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.000 one raps Tom Cruise. So then Tom Cruise is talking 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.400 for another like five minutes, and then the poor man 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.599 just extends the arm even further, times up, times up again, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.880 and then in something that will actually live rent free 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.719 in my mind for the rest of my life, Tom 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.200 Cruise goes, No, don't worry about that. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.520 We'll just keep going Tom. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:08.200 Yeah. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:15.479 Yeah. Friend of the Pod, this one's weekly. If you 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.000 want to come on for five, we can discuss more 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.800 running techniques. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.920 We so can, we so can very kind of you 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.760 to put me as your good sport jelmy bad technique. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:32.200 Potentially we will let the listeners go find the video 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.200 and decide whether I'm not you on the good sport. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.400 I'm getting an insight into why I thought that he 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:37.359 would be impressed with me. 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.480 I was like, so wonderful to be the good sport 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.400 you weren't. What What's I not? 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.840 No, you are, and it's the reason why they are 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.400 so lucky to have you and they send you on 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.760 those junkers because your brain just goes to places that 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.600 genuinely can get an ernest shocked response out of the 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.680 biggest stars in the world because no one else thinks 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.719 to do things that way. And that's why we absolutely 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.440 love you. But of course it had to be my 0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.719 good sport hit me. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.840 I have a good sport as well, and it comes 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.679 from our other friends of the pod, the Daily Os. Oh, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.480 they have just released a story. I mean, this is 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.080 a mixture of a good sport and a bad sport. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.240 Bad sport the number of ACL injuries that we are 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:16.360 seeing from our female athletes, in particular Sam Kerk Mary Fowler, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:17.120 which have. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.080 Personally affected us. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.000 Yes, you know, wake up multiple days of our lives 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.400 get these injuries. So what the Daily Os is reporting 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.800 is that there is going to be a new study 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.919 conducted at a university in London that is going to 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.039 help determine whether or not a menstrual cycle is a 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.599 contributing factor to ACL injuries. What when it comes to 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.320 female athletes? 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.360 What yeah, yeah, so at. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.600 The moment, research shows that women are up to eight 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.800 times more likely to sustain an ACL injury than men. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.880 Isn't that wild? And so they're trying to figure out 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.800 exactly what to do. Is getting your period? That's what 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.479 they're going to find out, according to them, and that 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.160 just that men are conditioned Like let's like, don'm me wrong. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.320 We women's sport as much as the next podcast i e. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.839 A lot more than the next pot color, but men 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.560 are physically more conditioned to endure more stress on their 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.560 bodies than what women. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.640 Are generally and have we then therefore caterd a women's 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.120 training program to be different enough for that to be 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.840 able to compensate for that, I'm not sure. So obviously 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.480 that's going to be part of it. But then there's 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.720 just so many, the sheer volume of acls that we're seeing, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.560 everything needs to be investigated. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.920 The researcher going to do like. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.680 Have a week, hope everyone sinks, and not roster a 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.440 game for a week. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.840 They can analyze everything. Well, the researcher. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.760 The head researcher, doctor Simon Augusta, said, we know hormones. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.160 This is legit, This is legit. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:44.200 We know hormones fluctuate during different phases of the cycle. Yes, 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.840 but we don't yet know how much of an influence 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.160 that may have on the risk of injury. So it 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.600 all could be linked, is what I'm saying. So my 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.720 good sport, because it's nice that there is an actual 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.040 interest in women's health. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.400 And if we find this to be the case, what 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:02.320 are you meant to do about it? 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.600 Well, I don't know, but it could be a different 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.200 It could be a case of you know how people 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.920 taper and loading and that kind of thing. It may 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.240 be just tweaking training regimes around that time. I'm not 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.800 exactly sure how it will help in terms of a 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.320 game situation. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.520 You look at the date of the Olympics and you're like, God, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:17.760 damn it, damn it. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.720 Again, damn it again. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.160 But there'll be ways in which you could maybe alter 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.800 what you have been doing so you can avoid such 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:24.800 a serious injury. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.760 We have seen an incredible uptick of acls and particularly 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.520 women's sports, but that can also be put down to 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.280 the fact that there a lot of them are semi 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.040 professional athletes as well. Yes, because they're not paid enough 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.040 that they can't have the same training. They also don't 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.960 have the same recovery available to them in terms of 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.680 physio massage and cool downs and all those sort of 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.720 things that we know that the male athletes have. Yes, 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.360 and for a lot of the times, these male athletes 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.480 have been training at quite an elite level from their 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.280 late teens, whereas the women, they've ducked in and ducked 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.079 out and gone and got degrees. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.120 And because we have to write, yeah, you can't. It's 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.640 not enough. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.199 It's not enough just to want to be a full 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.400 time athlete. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.880 Unfortunately, for so many of our I also good sport. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.240 On the back of your good sport, Sam, curse a mom. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.360 Oh my gosh, we should have led with this, so sorry, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:12.360 get on the bench. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.480 Dagam ewers Kerr is here.

Jack of ewers Kurve, it's a pretty 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.160 good name. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.360 Who's he playing for? Oh oh yeah. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:29.080 J yeah. Because of course Sam's partner wife fiance is 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.400 an American representative. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.240 Who played literally in the Olympics. Yeah, yeah, we claim Yeah, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.840 it has to be Australia, so sorry to be. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.920 Whichever parent has finished higher in the ballon door gets 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.400 to claim the child for they. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.120 We thank goodness for that. There we go. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.640 Also, you know what we're solving on this episode today, Jelmy, 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.880 we are going to be with the power given to 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.480 our authoritative voice by ourselves. We are going to be 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:02.480 grading the expansion clubs are codes because you may know, 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.160 dear listener, we talk about it at length on this podcast. 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.839 There's a few different teams that are going to be 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.479 coming in and maybe out of the competition. So many competitions, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.360 not only in Australia but overseas, so we are going 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.520 to drill down into who's doing things well, who's doing 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.640 things terribly, who may not survive? 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.439 Welcome to the report card. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.760 Well, dear listeners, you may remember in very recent podcasts 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.480 we were talking about the Perth Bears and their introduction 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.200 to the NRL competition in a few years time, whether 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:43.520 or not they will be a success. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.160 The jury is still out. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:50.640 But luckily Gellmy and I we are judge jury executioner 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.320 today because we are going to go through who was 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.440 doing well, who was doing shitterly in the overall report 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.600 card for expansion clubs in this country. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.240 Where should we begin? 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.600 They've said, twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, We don't know. Yes, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.080 it's like I love they announced these big expansions that 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.040 we saw with the Tazzy Devils that we'll get to 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.600 that they've got one hundred thousand members, but they don't 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.920 have a stadium. So there's so many caveats when there 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.120 are expansion clubs that come into different leagues in But 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.559 we wanted to talk about the ones we've loved, give 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.520 a little bit of a riff about how they're doing. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.319 So, Oh, I'll hang on before we begin. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.000 I think it is important for us to let the 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.360 listeners know exactly what criteria we will be judging them on. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:30.760 Oh. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.880 Now, I have two thoughts on this overall mark. I 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.559 think we need to give a mark for just performance 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.120 overall where they are at as a club. And then 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.960 I think we have to have an even more important 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.280 mark of their jerseys. Oh and song and song and 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.720 where that sits. Okay, now that we are clear on 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.560 the criteria, let us begin. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.520 My childhood club, the Frio Dockers, the worst song, the 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:58.640 worst song in you try to say heave ho with 0:11:58.920 --> 0:11:59.920 any sort of gusto. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.880 It is the Can you please give us a two lines? Please? 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880 For people who maybe I don't know, heave ho. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.440 Hit them real hard, send them down below. Oh free, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.240 Oh give them the old heave ho. We are the 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:14.400 Frio Dockers. Where the rollers, where the rockers? We're the 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.680 mighty Frio Dockers. I'm sorry someone has penned that and 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.240 gone fucking nailed it. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:20.679 Better give that to the new club. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.800 And I tell you what, there was a theme that 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.040 was already there. Heave Ho, heave Ho, It's off to 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:26.800 work we go. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.280 Why isn't that the theme song? Come on free? Oh 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.880 I'm given this away free. I have many reasons. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.679 It's not the color purple sensational that is great performances. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:37.880 I mean, this is. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.760 Why I'm no longer a Freemantle supporter. It is to 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.000 be a Freemantle supporter is to be in a semi 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.040 abusive relationship. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.160 Yeah, yeah, it is. They show promise and then they 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.760 never really deliver. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:49.160 Yeah. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.280 I would say, Daniel Gorange, we love you, but you 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.400 don't know heartache. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.960 Doers no like you never want a flag never want 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:57.319 a flag. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.679 You can't swim between the flags in Fremantle because there 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.000 isn't an do what ship has never docked in Fremantle? 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.840 The premiership I have heard them all. Honestly, my childhood 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.680 was semi abuse. This is how you're raised. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.920 Yeah, there, and I tried to stick it out and 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.600 then you move into state and you're like, hang on, 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.040 I don't need to support a West Australian team anymore. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.360 Is this what this feels like? Success? I know what is? 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.000 I must admit I've missed the success of the Richmond 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.280 I'm ready joined late. I'm really bad with the bad 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.400 wagon jump, I'm really bad. But no. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.439 The Prio's best ever finished was twenty thirteen Grand Final. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:30.800 Let's not talk about it. 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.320 But I was going for them, just randomly that I 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.600 was going for them in that Grand Final. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.920 You and I didn't even know twenty thirteen, twenty three, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.559 We didn't know each other. Then, what is how old 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:45.640 are we? Twenty three twenty two ish? Yeah, you'd round 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.960 up with you, babe, join me, round up? You will 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:50.920 not aige me premiature. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:55.760 Oh god, it was a time any who overall, but overall, Mark, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.160 let's do an actual letter grading Freeo doccers. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.960 Very successful club. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.559 Yeah, not successful in terms of they haven't achieved the 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.880 ultimate prize, but they're always up there thereabouts. I feel 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.240 like they're not necessarily ever that part of the football conversation. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:10.800 Don't you think they're one of those clubs that sort 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.880 of fades into the background a little bit, especially when 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.040 you're here in Victoria. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.160 Yeah, and my prediction is that they will lose a 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.240 coach by the end of the season. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.960 That's what I'm saying. Wow, Yeah, I think so so. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.000 Because he was a role in contract, which was very 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.680 controversial because they don't usually do that. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.560 I don't think their performance is just not there, especially 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.640 this season. There was high hopes for them, high hopes, 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.000 high hopes, but there was not. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.960 Okay, so good Jersey, good Jersey, terrible song, horrendous song. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.040 Okay, ish is where we're at. So I think that 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.920 is a C plus. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.680 If we're talking like unigrades, is that a credit, that's 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.640 a credit? Okay, I'll give them a credit. Yeah, it's 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.800 a credit. It's a credit. Okay, So free O C 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.440 plus congratulations. Yeah, welcome Gold Coast Sons. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.160 Whenever we're talking expansion clubs, we've got to mention the 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.240 Gold Coast. We'll get to the Titans in the NRL. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.600 But with the Suns, I have to say I'm going 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:58.480 to put them. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.440 In at I think they're failing. I reckon they're a 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.600 d I know they're good this year. I know they're 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.320 good this year, but what have they done? Their best 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.560 finish was twelfth? Okay twelfth. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.880 They've been active since twenty eleven, they've been in this competition. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.560 Cane Corns has said if they don't make the finals 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.080 this year, he's going to shave his head like Rory Lobb. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.920 Oh and put a pattern on the back. Oh, that's 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.840 how confident he is that they're going to make it. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.760 They've been leading the ladder at some stage during this season. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:29.080 And if you've got the master chef that is Damien Harwick, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.160 you've got to let the man cook. You've got to 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.880 let it cook. That and they've gone from in their 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.320 history having dollars as literally what they used to work 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.840 out of. So the players will be cooking in these shelters. Yes, 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.920 because the club is his do a doma is Oh, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.760 it's the West Australian coming out of Antable. Yeah, it's 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.440 a temporary demountable that you live out of if you 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.400 do playing play outwork. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.560 Oh so sorry, I thought it a stroke. No, it 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:55.080 looks like. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.480 I was like, I could let it go, and then 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.400 I was like, wait, I have no idea what you're talking. 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:07.160 No, it's like a temporary shelter, right, yeah, okay and Mack, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.240 So they would throw all of these money at and 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.640 they got a lot of like top end draft picks. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.720 Yes, and then the draft picks would be like, this 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.840 isn't Melbourne. Why am I like? And so they'd play 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.480 a few seasons and then go home. Yes. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.600 And that talks to a wider issue of the Gold 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.520 Coast itself as being a hub of sports. I'm going 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.600 to get to that more on the NRL times when 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:28.440 we talked about them. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.480 But I think if you want to play out of 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.400 the limelight and in the walls, oh what a time. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.160 It's a wonderful place. It really is a wonderful place. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.440 I think the structures and the systems that they're building 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.040 now could see them do very very well, and they 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.240 actually might grow to a B. But right now they 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.040 are a D. Even though wait, it's the Giants Jersey. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.960 That you like, isn't it no, they've got the salmon. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.520 Salmon, the salmon, even though their jersey has improved, because 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:51.120 we do like that. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.040 That is two good sports I'm going to give. I'm 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.920 going to give them see a c Okay, they're very young. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.160 Also, your social media is really good, so please don't 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.640 come for me. Gold Coast Sun, I do, I do 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.720 applaud you. It's very good, very good. We can't talk 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.959 about the Gold Coast Suns without talking about the GW 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.320 West Giants. And I say this because I didn't look 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.240 at this. So the Gold Coast Suns introduced them to 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.159 the competition twenty eleven. The Giants twenty twelve. In my 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.240 mind they were so far apart, so far apart, I 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:18.000 know what. 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.160 And also to try to make it in Western Sydney, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:27.000 that is so just rugby Lee Central a huge, huge task. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.120 They are a fantastic club. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.360 They're great to deal with, made it to the twenty 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.639 nineteen Grand Final, didn't rock up in the twenty nineteen 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.360 Grand fi procession. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.919 Allegedly we're there, but I don't remember. And they have 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:43.159 strikingly orange jerseys. So cratous song in Australian sport. Agreed, agreed, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.000 come out of me plus. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.480 But I will randomly be walking down the street and go, 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.760
