There were Inurie people. 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: This land was never seated, always was always will be. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Jell me, jell me, jell me, and dear listeners, it 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: is my very favorite part of the week.

I feel what we say 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: it every week, but there is so much to talk 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: about that it's actually overwhelming. 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: I know, I know. 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: We have the Mathildas in a home final where they 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 2: could genuinely win some silverware. It's happening, happening. Everyone's stay calm. 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I mean everyone's stay come. We are not calm. No, no, 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: we're not calm, but everyone else should stay come, is 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Because also I don't want to say 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: we predicted this because we didn't. However, when the Matildas 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: do well, I do feel personally responsible. I'm not gonna 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: lie because this good. As our listeners know on this podcast, 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I am that team. They are me, they are in 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: my soul, and I am I think a very close 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: personal friend to Mary Fowler. She just doesn't know it. 23 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: I thought you were going to go into I am 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: you are, we are Matildas. I thought you're going to 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: bust into song there it was beautiful. 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: That probably would have been better. We will get to 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: my goddess that is Mary Fowler in our greater discussion 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: where we talk in more detail about the Matildas. But 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: I just feel that whenever they do well, we do well, 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and that is an Australian sentiment I think for this team, Gelmy, 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: you talk about it all the time. The Matildas remain 32 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: Australia's favorite team. There have been some ups and downs 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: since the last World Cup. There's been a lot happening. However, 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: on the field right now they're back together for the 35 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: first time in forever and in another one of our 36 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: favorite things, it's reading like a rom com and we 37 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: are in the. 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: Final analysis is coming up as our main chat. Let's 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: not get into it. You're gonna start me off with 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: a good sport or bad sport, George. 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Oh, I actually have and I don't know if you 42 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: have seen this video, but I have a good sport 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: and it is a good sport in a way that 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: is incredibly intrinsically me, and it is for all of 45 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: the fangirls who I know listen to this podcast as well. 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: But there is a rookie that plays for Essendon. Now, 47 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: Bombers fans, I am sorry about your team. It doesn't 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: look like once again, you're gonna have a great year. Okay, 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: I know it's early. 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: I do know that you're the doctor walking into the 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: room being like, I'm sorry, little Johnny's not getting better. 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: It's not terminal yet, but we've been living with terminal 53 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: for quite a while, Bombers fans, And unfortunately, you know, 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Zach Merritt doesn't want to be there, but he is 55 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: playing like he is the only thing holding you up. 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: And that's okay, that is all right. I digress because 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: you also have a rookie on your team called Jaden 58 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: Newan who has really captured my heart. He's nineteen years 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: of age and he was interviewed during the week by 60 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: the ABC and they were talking about, you know, his 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: role models. He's the first Vietnamese AFL player, and he 62 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: was talking about how when he was growing up he 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: idolized Lin John from the Western Bulldogs. 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: I may have seen this, and it's fair. 65 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: Have you seen it, Oh my god. 66 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: And it's just. 67 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Thing he's talking about lindjoh and he's saying how much 68 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: he idolized him, and that he used to write him 69 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: messages on dmstagram, dms and any fangirl. I bloody put 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: it to you that if you have not sent at 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: least a love heart reaction emoji or fire emoji to 72 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: someone that you're obsessed with, you're lying and I will 73 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: see you in jail, okay, because that is what essentially 74 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: Jayden was doing, is his idle. 75 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: Just short of saying you up. But the rest it's like. 76 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the messages just being like I'm oh 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: my gosh, great game, Oh my god. I'm paraphrasing here. 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what Jordan said, but it's like, you. 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Know, when he was honest about it. And then they 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: worked together at a clinic and he actually got to 81 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: shake his hand and meet him, and he was like, 82 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: I may have unfollowed, then re followed him and deleted 83 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: all the messages because I thought, if this bloke searches 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: and sees my pay portrayal of fandom, I don't know 85 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: how I'm going to quite cope with it. 86 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I just need Let's listen. Let's listen to my new 87 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: favorite player and knew and explain it to us. 88 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 4: When I was younger, I used to look up to 89 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: a guy named Lyn Jong who played at the Western Bulldogs. 90 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: I used to always shoot him Instagram messages and you 91 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: wish him lark. Nowadays, these kids do this to me 92 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: so well. I want to just try and give back, 93 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: and you know I always give them a little flipback 94 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 4: or message yeah yeah. Funnily enough in my top page 95 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: r I had the chance to train with him at 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 4: a local footy club. Right after the training session finished, 97 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: un followed and followed lin John again and deleted all 98 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: the odd messages so he I couldn't see that. 99 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: It's just the best thing I've ever seen. I've ever seen, Jayden, 100 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: do not change. I need to put you in my pocket. 101 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: I need to protect you at all costs, because this 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: is what if my my okay, most recently, as we 103 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: can all assume, my DMA history is off the chart. No, 104 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: it's allowed to see it. My for you page is 105 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: a disaster zone. Disaster zone. 106 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: So if I how many photos of Conna story can 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: possibly be in one search engine. 108 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: Tell me I think you know that. 109 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: No, No, I don't need to know. Do you know 110 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: what we will say? Though the limit does not exist. 111 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: The limit does not exist. That was a good sport. 112 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: Another good sport, and perhaps the greatest good sport at 113 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: using being a good sport to be able to continue 114 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: playing good sport is Scott Pendlebury, Oh my god, getting 115 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: off a one match suspension with the argument I'm a 116 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: good bloke, sir. Okay, that's not what they said, but 117 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: essentially he got found guilty, he got handed down on 118 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: one match ban. He's a man who's played four hundred 119 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 2: and twenty seven games and never got suspended, And genuinely, 120 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: in the argument that was made by Collingwood, the defense 121 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: stood up and said he never even got suspended playing basketball. 122 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: They pulled the reference from and a complete other code, 123 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: essentially being like, this guy's the Messiah, Are you gonna 124 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: put Jesus in jail? 125 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: Like? 126 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: And he got off. He got off with the fine, 127 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: So we do. 128 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: Were you happy with that? Do you think he should 129 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: have got off? 130 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it's interesting that in the span of his 131 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: illustrious career, the action which was the bump, would have 132 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: not even been looked at at the start and now 133 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 2: it's a suspendable offense, so the game has changed. I 134 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 2: do think there needs to be a good blow clause 135 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: in that. The question was did he intend to bump? 136 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: I think he probably did. I think keeping intact, the 137 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: fact that he's never been suspended is probably something that's 138 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: really important to him. So I get that, I get 139 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: the need to defend. I just love the oh but 140 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: he's a good guy of it all, Like I love that. 141 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole argument was whether it was a 142 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: brace or a bump, right, and it was like it 143 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: was exactly both. It was exactly both. And I think 144 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: that over those four hundred plus games where he has 145 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: not been suspended, and everyone knows that Scott Pendlebree is 146 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: just that guy, like he's just a nice guy, and 147 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: so I was happy with him getting off. It's something 148 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: that Spencer Lenu, for example, Rugby Lake Flake not good 149 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: only but dream of this type of defense because they 150 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: are always just at that match and I'm like, oh, 151 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: hang on, it wasn't actually that bad, but remember that 152 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: time you did do that something that bad, So we're 153 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: actually going to suspend you nineteen weeks. 154 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: It's the opposite of the Toby green effects. But I 155 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: also think that Scott Pendlebree was on air when he 156 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: found out that he got suspended because he's dabbling into 157 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: media at the moment, so he was actually on camera 158 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: with Channel seven, and he immediately went into I didn't 159 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: know that there's a process that will take place, and 160 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, he's going to fight. He's gonna fight this 161 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: so heavily because it's about who he is, right and 162 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: I personally love it. I think the fact that he's 163 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: going to break the game's record is just a sign 164 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: of where sports science is going. He's always been someone 165 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: that is almost our Tom Brady in terms of how 166 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: much he takes he takes care of his body, and 167 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: that he will immediately go into commentary and be well 168 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: loved if he's allowed, if that's what he wants to do. 169 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Do you think he sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber. 170 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: One hundred rises into a sauna? 171 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: And why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you now that? At 172 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: your disposal question? Without notice? Feel free not to answer. 173 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Did Caine ever get suspended? 174 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: Never got suspended? 175 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: No? 176 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: See, And this is the thing I put Cain and 177 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: Pendlebury in like a similar thing where I know that 178 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: for both of them as players, because how they play 179 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: meant so much to them, means so much to them 180 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: that this would actually would have been a huge story 181 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: for Pendles if he did have to cop that one 182 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: match man and you could be like, what was your 183 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: favorite game and had four hundred and twenty whatever, and 184 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: he'd be like, I don't know, remember that time. 185 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: That I got absolutely. 186 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: Taken advantage of or something that wasn't even a suspension. 187 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: Do you think that either of us would be able 188 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: to boast that up through a professional And do you 189 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: know how many stray legs I would have thrown out 190 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: just hoping to collect people if I couldn't get the ball. 191 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: It's the opposite of a clean record. They'd be like, 192 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: on bad behavior and just general competitiveness, you're gone. 193 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: The things that have been outlawed that I would have employed. 194 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: The jumper punch, come on, you would have been good. 195 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: And early two thousands, Derby in the West would have 196 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: been all your areas when they basically just used to 197 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: fully throw punches. But speaking of the West, we are 198 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: going to talk about the Matilda's and the fact that 199 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: they are charging their way into an Asian Cup final. 200 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: That's coming up next. 201 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 5: There's nothing better than scoring for your country at home 202 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: in a semi final, so it was a pretty special moment. 203 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: I'm not going to downplay it, of course, but I'm 204 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: just happy that we got through. But yeah, it's definitely 205 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: one of my favorite goals I've ever scored for the 206 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: national team. 207 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: One of my favorite goals I have ever scored for 208 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: the national team. People, let us all just take a 209 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: moment to bask in that fact from Matilda's captain Sam Kerr, 210 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: because she scored this is a technical term a shit 211 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: ton as well as for Australia. 212 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: That is one. 213 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: Of her favorites. And I tell you what, Sam, it 214 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: was one of mine as well. Because the Matildas are 215 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: through to the Women's Asian Cup final on home soil 216 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: against Japan and we did it in such such a 217 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: great way against China. Pr I am so excited that 218 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Sam Kerr is so happy. He could hear it in 219 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: her voice there. 220 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: You could definitely hear it. I do think at times 221 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: their method was a bit dubious, and I do think 222 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: Joe Montemurro understandably has been like sometimes we revert back 223 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: to old ways and I'm trying to stamp that out 224 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: and hard of me is like, that's because half of 225 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: these players aren't going to be there for the next campaign. 226 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 2: There's definitely a changing for the guard and if you 227 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 2: want Australia to play attacking, possession based football, you're gonna 228 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: have to start training that from the ground up. But 229 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: what I do love is that we won. And he 230 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: was still not happy necessarily with the performance, but the 231 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: thing that everyone was happy about was our goals. They 232 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: were chef's kiss And you mentioned Sam and the way 233 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: that she played then and also a her giving an interview, yes, 234 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: and how generous she's been with the media. Remarkable, a 235 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: remarkable shift that we've seen from her, and I think 236 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: it reflects so much has happened in this woman's life 237 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: since we last saw at her World Cup. 238 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Oh yes, so very very much. 239 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: She's gotten married, she had a son last year. She's 240 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: literally had a year and a half or a season 241 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: and a half out of footy because of our acl 242 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: and the amount of growth. Of course, we had the 243 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 2: court case as well, where she was on the back 244 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: and the front page of every paper in the country 245 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: and for her to come out of all of that 246 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: a seemingly more balanced, happier player that while she has 247 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: four people playing on her at any given point, cometh 248 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: the moment, cometh the Sam Kerr. When you need something 249 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: and I wonder, She's like, it's one of the best goals. 250 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, because you're that good. Yeah, You're that good. 251 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: And that's the thing like when you're watching, it's like, 252 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: to be fair, I know what you mean about the 253 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: Matilda's play as a whole this tournament. It hasn't been 254 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: our most sparkling football. No, it hasn't been our best 255 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: defensive effort. It's fair to say the injuries haven't helped 256 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: with that as well, with you know, Katlee and Rasso 257 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: spending a lot of time on the sidelines due to 258 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: concussion protocols. But I do think that when we take 259 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: the goals and if we had our goal montage up, 260 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm really impressed with what we've been able to do 261 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and that attacking football. Especially Yes, Sam Kerr, but we 262 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: mentioned her briefly last week. Alana Kennedy. No, she she 263 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: has no business leading any Golden Boot bloody standings, and 264 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: yet she is like and I just love her approach 265 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: to it as well, Like I would say that Alana 266 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: Kennedy is absolutely terrifying as a figure because she's so 267 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: so impressive. When she's got that game face on, I'm like, 268 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: what do you need me to go? I'll go, I'll go, 269 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: I'll go. Babe, You're so right, You're so right. I'm 270 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: so sorry I breathed your ear like this. This is 271 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: she's got that intimidation factor. But I even think for her, 272 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: like there's something different about this team off the field 273 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: at this tournament. Just maybe they're surprising themselves with how 274 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: well that they've done. I know that the opening game 275 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: against the Philippines over in Perth a few weeks ago, 276 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: I was like, we're gonna win this by eight mil 277 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: and you know, I think we only held on for 278 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: a or something and we were like, what is going on? 279 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: They were not blowing them out of the water. But 280 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 2: I think I think the thing is we know everyone loves. 281 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: And can I just say hand on my heart As 282 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: someone who grew up with this team and grew up 283 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: with the W League as it was then known back 284 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen when I was sideline commentary for that 285 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: he was coaching Melbourne Victory. Steph Catley was the captain 286 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: they won that year, and he was just the most 287 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: divine human being to deal with and I'm so glad 288 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: that he everyone is again getting to see that with 289 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: him in this top job. 290 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: I think that's something that is an intangible but is 291 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: also such a tangible in two different ways, Like I 292 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: think that energy and also how much he rotates through 293 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: the squad. It feels like we're seeing a lot of 294 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: different players, which is fantastic, which you need that depth, 295 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: particularly as you said, when there's concussion protocols, and also 296 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: God bless her, Sam Kerr at the end mouthing to 297 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: her teammates, I'm fucked as an I am so tired, 298 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: like I am, I am cooked because and you know 299 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: she does have a way of stepping up, but you 300 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: know she hasn't been playing that much football, right, And 301 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: then she gets to camera and she goes, you know, 302 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm pretty tired. I can't believe that we've managed to 303 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: do this, given the year and a half that I've had, 304 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: and that I get to lead this team, and I 305 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: just I can't believe it. And there's that euphoria sometimes 306 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: that is that's the Michael's secret source, a space jam 307 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: or MJ secret source is that what it was called 308 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: special stuff seek special stuff. I don't know, that's a 309 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: that's a blight on me because I made that's the 310 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: greatest film of all time. 311 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: I know, not even in my t shirt. I'm like, 312 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: I should be in my space jam. 313 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: But it's that sort of stuff and that happiness that 314 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: sometimes really does come across and we're going to need it. 315 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: Japan look incredible. 316 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: They look really good. They beat what South Korean the 317 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: semifinals at four one, and they had I think it 318 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: was four different goalscorers, which is always something. 319 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: To la la la la whatever. Let's blaze over. That's 320 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: something that we can't glaze over, and it's a blight 321 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: on my stage. But I also just want to flag 322 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: there was thirty five thousand at a semifinal. This was 323 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: a stadium, and you know, credit to the Matilda's. They've 324 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: had to travel to different countries throughout this tournament, and 325 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: by that I mean in any other continent, Wa is 326 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: a different country. It is a three hour time difference 327 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: and a near on four hour flight in terms of 328 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: your recovery when you're sleeping, when you're eating. I'm sorry, 329 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: it's a different country and I can say that because 330 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: I'm a West Aussie. 331 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: Well, we can't just give you an insight about what 332 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: we can't expect ahead of the Matilda's huge Women's Asian 333 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: Cup final without hearing from the team themselves.

Firstly, 336 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: before we get anywhere near the football, I have to 337 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: say happy birthday. 338 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, thank you.

But yeah, 347 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 3: it's an an amazing moment too. I'm so excited. 348 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: We saw some vision of you just after the match 349 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: and you were kind of sitting on the field just 350 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: trying to kind of take that all in. What does 351 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: that feel like in that moment? 352 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: I just didn't want to forget the moment, like I 353 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: feel like we go through such a chaotic life, especially 354 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: in tournament modes, and each game I play, it just 355 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 3: feels so different. And my good friend Winnie here, we 356 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: just felt like we wanted to fully take it in 357 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: and look at the crowd and enjoy the moment, remember 358 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: it fully. So like I said, I don't think it'll 359 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: be sunk in until I'm home, But yeah, we were 360 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 3: trying our best to appreciate that moment. 361 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: How is the team feeling ahead of Saturday's game. 362 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 3: It's really good vibes in camp at the moment. Everyone's 363 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: really excited. It's going to be obviously a tough opponent, 364 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: but it's a final at home, and yeah, vibes are 365 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: very high. 366 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: We were talking about how the Matilda's at this particular 367 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: tournament on home soil. The team seems like they've got 368 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: this kind of special source vibe to quote a Space 369 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Jam reference. But do you feel that like you seem 370 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: really happy? Do you think that you're playing any differently? 371 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the team is really geld especially this tournament. 372 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: A lot we had a bit more time together and 373 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: under Joe, he's bringing a lot of girls together, I think, 374 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: and it's really really good vibes. Personally, I feel very 375 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: happy too. We've had so much fun in camp, and 376 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 3: we've had little things off the field that have kept 377 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: us happy and balanced. I think, like we have a 378 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: table tennis table and all the girls just want to 379 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: hang out together. So yeah, it's been really good. We're 380 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: way more on the same page and everyone's getting around 381 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 3: each other more. So. Yeah, it's definitely a better feel 382 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 3: on the field. 383 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: Who's good at table tennis? 384 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: Me? 385 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: Obviously, I wouldn't bring it up if it was at me. 386 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I love this. I love this. Who's your biggest 387 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: competitor when it comes to table tennis? 388 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 3: Mac and I have some really challenging games to the 389 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: point where we have to stop because we're getting too tired. 390 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: This I love see. I knew it. I knew it. 391 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: You're such a good sport as well. When the tournament started, 392 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that many people would have had Alana 393 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Kennedy in the running for Golden Boot. I mean, as 394 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: a fellow defender, did you think that she was going 395 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: to pull that off? 396 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: I don't know if I thought she was going to 397 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 3: be Golden Boot, but I definitely thought she was going 398 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 3: to have a big tournament. She had a like she's 399 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: had some tough times and I think she would just 400 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 3: work so hard, and in tournaments, I feel like unexpected 401 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: players pull through, and I think she's kind of one 402 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: of them that I knew she was going to be good, 403 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 3: but she's been outstanding. I think she's blown even her 404 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 3: own mind. So yeah, I'm so happy for her. She's 405 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: she's been amazing. 406 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: It's absolutely incredible. Scoring every second. It feels like I've 407 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: this tournament. Someone else who keeps scoring is captain courageous, 408 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Sam Kerr and Caitlyn. We cannot continue without giving you 409 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: some props for that goal of hers that sealed the final. 410 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean that was your that was your poker head, 411 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: that started that whole movement. What is it like to 412 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: run alongside Sam Kerr while she's about to score a goal. 413 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, in that moment, I was so tired, and I 414 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 3: just remember being like, I'm going to regret this if 415 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: she squares that ball to me and I'm not there, 416 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: so I don't know how I did the full field run, 417 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 3: but I just remember after it being like, I can't 418 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: even celebrate. I'm gone straight to the bench and getting 419 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: some water. But yeah, she's amazing and like playing with 420 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: her feels very special. All the girls it's the same, 421 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: but Sam Curse, she obviously has a very big name 422 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 3: and she's really cool. So yeah, I felt really good 423 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: and I just wanted to be there just in case 424 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: she squared it, but she didn't need me. She's pretty amazing. 425 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 3: She could score from any angle apparently. 426 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: But you were you were crucial. You were crucial, Kaitlyn, 427 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: You were crucial in there. How do we beat Japan? 428 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: Because look last meeting, I think it was four nil 429 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: around fab last year. They're a really good side. I 430 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: think they've won they've betted as three out the last 431 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: four games that we've played against them. How do we 432 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: beat them on Saturday. 433 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're obviously a really really good side and they're 434 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: in form at the moment, they have been for a while, 435 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 3: so they're very tactical, they're really fun to watch and 436 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 3: they're I think also they're super creative. So it will 437 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 3: be such a good challenge for us. But it's final football. 438 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 3: Anything can happen, and we definitely don't discount ourselves, like 439 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: we have produced some really good football. I still don't 440 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: think we're at our peak either, but the momentum we've got. 441 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 3: I'm feeling really good about going into the game. I 442 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 3: think everyone is. But yeah, they're obviously a very good 443 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 3: side and have really really good players, and yeah, last 444 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: time we've asked them, we lost. But we have a 445 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: completely different side and a completely different feel. I mean, 446 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: Joe's come in now, so I think it's going to 447 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: be completely different game and one I'm really looking forward to. 448 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: How has Joe changed the team? 449 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 3: Oh, it's honestly night and day. He's been so good. 450 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: I think tactically he's amazing, but he's also just knows 451 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 3: how to communicate, and everyone's just buying in like everything 452 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 3: he says with game plan, we all want to do it, 453 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: and I think the buying is what's making us gel together. 454 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, he's been great, and I honestly feel like 455 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 3: we haven't had him for so long, but he's made 456 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 3: such a difference since he's been here. So yeah, I 457 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: love learning off him personally, and I'm really excited to have. 458 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: Him now on this podcast. Kaitlyn. We love to go 459 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: a little bit unhinged, we like to go a little 460 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: bit rogue, and all I'm interested in from you is 461 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: just how what's Caitlyn like off the field, like how 462 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: do you relax? What are you obsessed with? What do 463 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: you chill to? Like, what's your vibe? 464 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, in camb I want to have as much fun 465 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 3: as possible off the field. It's obviously pretty similar days 466 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 3: and it can get quite repetitive. So I try and 467 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 3: find my people and like I said before, play table tennis, 468 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: play cards like I'm probably the first person suggesting cards 469 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 3: at the dinner table, or new games, and I love 470 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: I love learning new games. I love people, so I 471 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: love talking to everyone and hanging out all the time. 472 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: I don't really chill as much as I probably should 473 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 3: be in my room by myself, but yeah, when I'm 474 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 3: at home, I also love doing some videography and little 475 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 3: things like that. I like to think I'm a little 476 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 3: bit creative, so I love doing sort of that kind 477 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: of stuff that gets my mind. 478 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: Going, what hard games are you playing right now? 479 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: We have quite a few. There's one I actually think 480 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: I've made up the name because every time I try 481 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 3: and explain it to everyone, they're like, what are you 482 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: talking about? And then I explained it They're like, wait, 483 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: I've played this, so I don't know It's called blot 484 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 3: that's what I call it. I don't think it's actually cool, 485 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: but we play that, and there's a couple of games 486 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: we've been playing with dice and it's kind of like 487 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: a lying game. So you start to get to know 488 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: everyone a bit better and see who's the really good liars. So, yeah, 489 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: everyone's been playing that. 490 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: I think I must ask who's the best liar on 491 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: the squad other than you. 492 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: Have quite a few.

Who I mean, just have a little listen 533 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: here because technically his title says Japan coach, but I 534 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: actually think that he is just the number one organizer 535 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: coordinator of the Mary Fowler fan club in discuss. Yeah, 536 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: this is Nils Nelson. 537 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 6: My absolute favorite in the whole world football fayre that 538 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 6: I ever had anything to do with this Mary Father. 539 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 6: She's She's just a character from another world. And those 540 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 6: of you that know her better than I do you 541 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 6: can understand what I mean. She's special, So take care 542 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 6: of her. You should be very powerful to have an 543 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 6: Australian player that has a character like that. 544 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: That's the actual Japan coach speaking after they got through 545 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: to the final. So you know what is he going 546 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: to try to dissect Mary's gameplay so to have Japan 547 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: win on Saturday night? Maybe, but also maybe he's just 548 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: going to ask you for an autograph. 549 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: I want to just make my fun fact that Mary 550 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 2: Fowler is so impressive because she's That's another one that 551 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: we just touched on, you know, Sam Kerr taking a 552 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 2: break and not taking break, but having injury and recovery 553 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: time and having to be away from football for longer 554 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: than what she ever has. Mary Fowler in that break 555 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: wrote a book that she was like, it was never 556 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: about ratings, It was about airing some things that have 557 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: happened to me. And she spoke about, you know, playing 558 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: for French teams and having fans throw bananas at her 559 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 2: and just this level of pressure and how she feels 560 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: about football. And I think it was just a cathartic 561 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 2: process for her. And she's someone who's been at the 562 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: elite level and performing, you know, professionally since her early teens. 563 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 2: This is the first six months that she'd taken off 564 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: football in her life to have this acl where you know, 565 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: we saw her, yes, we saw her on the runways 566 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 2: looking amazing and doing all of her things. But I 567 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: think again she has a lightness about her and I like, 568 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: and you hear all of that commentary and you hear 569 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: you know, the professionals looking at the way that she 570 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: does things, and I've heard you Georgie say, you know, 571 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: she just has time. Maybe it was time out that 572 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 2: has led to this, but as a as a whole, 573 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: we love you Chillies. We're nervous, we're excited, we're both 574 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: gonna be I'm flying to Sydney on pump pumpedan and 575 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: so hopefully next time we speak we've got some silk 576 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: wor because. 577 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: If it's their trophy, it's our trophy.
