1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Put on your dance and shift. Don't give me your

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: best shot. That's the deputy editor at the Daily.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Oh she's a big deal, Emma Gillespie is here, not

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: as big a deal as our Matilda's for one night

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: only or one morning only. Rather Jones in amando, this

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: is a sports segment today. It will never happen again.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: You're not the biggest sporting This is amazing though we've

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: all become this people. The fact that Australia has embraced

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: this so much and we're not known as a soccer country,

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: this has been an extraordinary thing. I don't think we've

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: ever seen the.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Like of this. I don't think we have either long

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: lived the Tillies. Now the numbers are in for the

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: broadcast ratings four point one seven million average audience.

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: And that's average, which means it peaked higher than that exactly.

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: And that's not even accounting for all of the pubs

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: and the viewing parties, the stadiums that were packed out

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: with people watching in public places. Seven million people reach.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: They reckon the number one rating TV sport program of

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: the past decade for seven and as we've heard since, indeed,

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Kathy Freeman's gold at the two thousand Olympics and in

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: a streaming first, the number one streaming event ever in

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Australia had about five hundred thousand people watching on seven plus,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: which is pretty significant when you think about, you know,

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: the advent of streaming and how people watch sport on streaming.

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: It's a whole new wisbang thing. But getting around it

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: are the stats in on how many people were streaming

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: my wedding speech while the game was going on at

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the at the stadium. I think it's just shy of

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: the four million months you've just been Amanda. I've never

32
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: seen Amanda more supportive.

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: When I was doing Go Go Go, I said. And

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: then I came in and watched your speech. I saw

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: a great tweet, this person said. My daughter just told

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: me her friend's little son asked his mum after watching

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: the Matilda's can boys play play football too? This has

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: just spun everything on its head, hasn't it exactly? Women's

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: sport is amazing.

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I do not remember in my whole life feeling anything

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: like this about women's sports, seeing people rally around women's

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: sport in this way. My family absolute sports nuts and

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, This is the first time that I

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: have really felt truly passionate about a sporting team. And

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: how can you not fall in love with these players

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: like Mackenzie Arnold. Amazing, amazing when you google Mackenzie Arnold.

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: Have you seen the picture of the brick wall?

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: I love it. I saw someone said that they've done

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: a new mural in honor of her, and I just thought,

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: it's just a picture of.

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: A brick wall, and how good is this? The Minister

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: for Defense, the Minister for defense. Goalkeeping was never actually

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: what she wanted to do, and as a youngster she

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: was trying out for a team as a defender, but

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: the coach said not this time, but maybe you can

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: have a crack at goalie and I mean, thank god

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: she did.

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: And what about Courtney Vine? I love what was set

59
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: which she was asked about it and she said, well,

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: I stood up and I took the kick. Just that

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: phrase I stood up. I get emotional thinking about it,

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: because that's the resilience you want your own kids to have,

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: that you want in your own life. The Laser folk,

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: because it took those women to do what they had

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: to do.

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: When you watch them taking those pass I mean, what

67
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: a moment like it is just you feel so much

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: for any team put in those situations, the pressure, the

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: pressure cooker environment.

70
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: But and it's hard.

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Vine comes down a substitute and she sunk that winning penalty.

72
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: The crowd absolutely goes into a frenzy. My whole apartment

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: building I could feel it shaking, everyone screaming in their

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: different apartments around.

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: And it's also great that we all knew Sam Kurr's

76
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 2: name before this. I don't think many of us would

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: be able to identify many of the other Matilda's, but

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: here we are. We know these other names, and they

79
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: have proven to themselves that they can also achieve without sad.

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: It's taken a lot of people by surprise, hasn't it. Really? Yeah,

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: this has taken the TV in this way way people,

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: just every people. I think the proof of that Jonesy

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: is in that, you know Channel seven aren't broadcasting that

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: many games from the tournament. You think of the Men's

85
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: World Cup and you know there's broadcasts of all games

86
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: at all hours all the time. There's not actually that

87
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: many of the games. Obviously the finals have made it

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: to the broadcast on seven, but a lot of the

89
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: early round sixteen and before that group stage games, you know,

90
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: we're not broadcast anywhere, so that's kind of a missed

91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: opportunity and maybe a lesson learned.

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: For the trials going forward. An interesting debate then about

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: equal pay for women. It's always it's often been said

94
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: that we don't draws bigger crowd as the man.

95
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at them. Now. The Matilda's I found

96
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: out only this year, only a couple of months ago,

97
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: became the first women's football team in the world to

98
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: receive the same pay as their male counterparts. So Football

99
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Federation Australia announced that that was going to be formalized

100
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: in April and May, so that's that's quite significant. But

101
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: the prize money for the women's World Cup is different

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: to the men's and you know, none of the other

103
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: teams in the other countries have parody with male players.

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: So I think it's interesting to think about this momentum.

105
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: How do we keep that going? And yet we're all

106
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: loving them when they're winning, and you know, we dropping

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: like a hot rock as soon as that's that's the

108
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: problem with our country. This is a once in a

109
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: four year event, So what happens over the next four

110
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: years well, it's like, make sure that we've got participation

111
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: at a community level in roll girls in sport. You know,

112
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: rally around your local clubs. Look at where some of

113
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: these star players, you Mackenzie Arnolds, you Courtney Vines, your

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Mary Fowlers, Hailey Rasso's, where did they come up through?

115
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: And you know, look to those communities. And if we

116
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: can get people playing community sport, then we can ensure

117
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: that we've got teams into the future, and also that

118
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: they don't all have to go and play overseas. Most

119
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: of these Hillies girls are all playing in Europe and

120
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: we do that right here, right now. Amanda gets paid

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: much more than I do, and I'm happy for that.

122
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Oh you know what kinds an ally? Yeah, one I appreciate.

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Right on, sister, right on.

Speaker 2: You'll find more from Emma on Instagram at underscore Billspie.

Speaker 1: She should get She's not getting paid enough
