There's many, many layers. George, 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: how are you feeling? Because they had no right after 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: game one, they had no right. They had to win 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: two games on the road. She's levitating, She's levitating. 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: I'm levitating, and I'm also wearing blue now that could 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: be considered bullying to our Blues fans. 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: But I've just packed poorly.

Legitimately there could have 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: been a whitewash, a three mil series win to New 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: South Wales. And then somehow Queensland does what Queensland does and. 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: We retain the title of the underdog. 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: We use that title, we pick up a few sports 34 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: moviesque storylines along the way.

Although 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: do you know that I've been at the tennis before 60 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: with Caine, and I forgot I didn't even tell you this, 61 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: and i'd like taken a photo. Then I sneakily put 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: my phone down. You know how anxious I get about 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: doing the wrong thing. And then the security came to 64 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: like walking down the front were lucky enough to be 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: down the fronts who are having hospitality tickets, and Caine 66 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: jokingly has gone, they're coming for you, and I'm like, 67 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: don't even joke.

It's been reported. 69 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: By the other team. 70 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: No, I had my flash light because and old mate 71 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: serving and I'm creating a spotlight. I wanted to fucking 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: I wanted to die. And Kane lost it because he 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: knows how much of a goodie two shoes. But security 74 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: walking down and he's like, low, they're looking for you, 75 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: and then he's looked at me and I wasn't even 76 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: on the edge, so he had to let me and 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: a past people to be like ma'am, do you mind? 78 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: And I was like, I just got mammed. 79 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: This is the end. With your flashlight on. Accidentally, that 80 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: is just the definition of man. 81 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: Oh joh, Karen, can you please turn your laptop off? 82 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: Mate? 83 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: You were that person with a laser pointer. That's just 84 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: being the most annoying person. Accidentally. 85 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: Oh but no, don't pop your champagne. That's fantastic. 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: I love that. 87 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: I'm Wimbledon's I must admit is our cras just gonna 88 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: do it. Is he gonna make it three consecutive? 89 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: I think so. 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: I think, I mean, he's definitely in the front seat. 91 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: I also along with my good sport of that person 92 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: popping the champagn bottles in the crowd, Yannick Sinner for me, 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: and I know that he himself is in. But he 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: was very close to defeat against Grigor Dimitrov in the 95 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: earlier rounds of the tournament. I think it was to 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: get through to the quarterfinal, and Dimitrov was up too set, 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: like he was two sets up on Yannick Sinner and 98 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: he had to retire hurt. And there's this incredible footage. 99 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: I recommend everyone going to find it. It's incredible footage 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: of Yanik just being very graceful in letting Grigor have 101 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: that shattering moment. Grigor's in tears, Yanni's helping him to 102 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: the side of the court. Yanik then packs his bag 103 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: with all of his tennis rackets because Grigor can't move 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: his arm properly. Like it was just such a wonderful 105 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: display of sportsmanship that I think really we do take 106 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: for granted in tennis because it's always this individual, individual 107 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: individual sport and you know, Yanick Sinner has had his critics, 108 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: of course in most recent years, but it was wonderful 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: to see that he can still be that person who 110 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: can help out a fellow tennis player going through absolute 111 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: hell when he self has reached such lofty heights. 112 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: So I do still think it is Alchorizis to lose. 113 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 5: Well. 114 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 3: We remember seeing Roger and Raffa talk about it in 115 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: the Labor Cup doco. When remember how feder I had 116 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: the doco about his retirement and he sort of said, 117 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 3: we're so proud that the legacy that we leave is 118 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: that you can be a fierce competitor and still be 119 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: a friend of the person on the other side of 120 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: the net. And I think that that is the legacy 121 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: of tennis. And I know you know how I feel 122 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: about Yannisinner. 123 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: I'm chips in. 124 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: I think, like, you know, if your Massus had the 125 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: drugs whatever, I like. I just think that he is 126 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 3: I mean, he's singing is interesting, but I just think 127 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: he's a good person. I think we're going to get 128 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: on board. I think Ossie's will love him. Oh yes, 129 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: I think we'll be back on board.

I heard a report that one 176 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: of the threats made against him was sent to the 177 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: anti social behavior hotline pop up at the football. 178 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, come on, guys, just be better. 179 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: And I don't, but I don't. I worry it's not 180 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: gonna get better. 181 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: Tell me, I worry that we're gonna have this conversation 182 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: again and again and again and again and again. 183 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 3: It's it's fans hanging over the race to spray their 184 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: team as they walk off. It's those sort of things 185 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: where I just think, yeah, you're passionate, I get it, 186 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: but also these are people and trust me, they be trying. 187 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: They're trying, they're trying, and sometimes you're just like I 188 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: just think sometimes we're dehumanizing people that are in positions 189 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: of leadership or power, particularly coaches. Like when you think 190 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: about the pressure that coaches are under, like it's it's 191 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: just so immense and it must be such a hard 192 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: environment for the players as well at Carlton to be 193 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: in at the moment. But I just think as a 194 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: sporting for two in Australia, we all need to sit 195 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: back and take a deep breath and think about the 196 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: behaviors that we're modeling. And I also think if one 197 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: more person on social media with some sort of cartoon 198 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: emoji profile, it's never a person that you can trace 199 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: to Now it's always some burner account with zero followers. 200 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: That's just vile. 201 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 3: And I think there needs to be a level of 202 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: accountability and that goes back to whether or not you 203 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: do need to verify who you are in order to 204 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: have an account. 205 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 206 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: I This one really annoyed me greatly because it's just 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 3: been he's one man. 208 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: Oh copping to be copying this much. He can't run 209 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: out there, I know, Unbelieve me. 210 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: I actually think Carlton maystand a better chance if he 211 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: did what Navy blue jersey on, sir, get there, get there, bossy, 212 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: come on, come on. 213 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: And in the most two good sports coded thing he 214 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: started his press conference that everyone knew was going to 215 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: be related to this threat where he goes, I've got 216 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: a dog for my birthday. If anyone cares? Do we 217 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: start with that, I've got a dog? And someone's like 218 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: what kind of dog? He's like, thank you, it was 219 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 3: a port of Collie. But you know what I mean, 220 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: Like he's but he's also shown unwavering leadership and all 221 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: of this. 222 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: No he has and to be honest, what I want 223 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: to happen this week is I want to see the 224 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: players back him up because it isn't his fault. And 225 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that Michael Voss will be leading this 226 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: club potentially beyond this season, right, But I just think 227 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: that the playing group themselves they have more passion. Yeah, yeah, 228 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: it's on them now, It's on them, which is actually 229 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: quite a lovely little segue into something that we're going 230 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: to be talking about after the break, namely Queensland's dominant 231 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: performance in the Origin Decider. 232 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna caveat this. 233 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: We're talking about the romance of that win, yes, and 234 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: the layers of it because if you love sport for 235 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: the stories, it's unrivaled in something that I've seen in 236 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: Australia in sport, Get the. 237 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 6: Pop gone, Get the pop Gone. 238 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: I don't like ranking things, but I've never felt like this, 239 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 4: like we're going to talk about it, but like the 240 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: bloke to my left, that's like, that's as courageous and 241 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: brave as I've ever seen that. I lost my dad 242 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 4: in January. I know what it's like. I know how 243 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 4: it feels like our dads are our heroes. And I 244 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 4: don't know how he did it, but you know, within 245 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 4: ten minutes of sitting with him in his room on 246 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 4: Sunday morning. He looked at me and he said, Bill 247 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: and playing and I know he wanted to. I know 248 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: his dad would have wanted him to. And boy, that's 249 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: one proud dad sitting up there watching his boy tonight. 250 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 2: Maybe I should have advised everyone. 251 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 5: To get the t shoes along with the popcorn. 252 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: That was winning Maron's coach Billy Slater, talking post match 253 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: after one of the most incredible performances I have seen 254 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: on a rugby league field, talking about his skipper Cameron Munster, 255 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: who devastatingly lost his father only a few days before kickoff. 256 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: We talk about. 257 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Storylines, Jelmy, We talk about the human the humanity behind sport. 258 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: This is one of the greatest stories that I've ever seen. 259 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 2: Unfold and you couldn't script it. 260 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: You couldn't script the Daly Cherry Evans would be dropped 261 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: because everyone said it would be the biggest call in 262 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: rugby league history. You can't drop the origin captain mid series? 263 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: Are you mad? Really? Did Billy Slater did? 264 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: And the criticism that was leveled at him, and then 265 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: who was best on ground in the last game, Tom Didden, Yes, 266 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: and only through DC vacating is Munster even captain to 267 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: make this all as poetic as what it is. And 268 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: we say poetic. Obviously tragedy is at the core of it. 269 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: But what you and I believe so deeply is the 270 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: power of sport to be there for people and to 271 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 3: be for something better. And there was something so personal 272 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: and intimate that we all watched with the Catharsis that 273 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: came over Cam Munster when they won. 274 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, we see it right. 275 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: We see those moments that are plastered across newspapers and 276 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: it is the single frame of joy. There were moments 277 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: last night after the Morons had defeated the Blues twenty 278 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: four to twelve, of Billy Slater embracing his captain Cameron Munster, 279 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: both men having lost their dads within the last seven months. 280 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: They used to play together. We've got to remember that 281 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: as well. They used to be teammates at the Storm 282 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: for a short time. Now Billy is coaching Cameron in 283 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: the biggest spectacle in I'm going to say, Australian sport. 284 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah it's fair and you see those two men just 285 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: crying and holding each other, and you see that it 286 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: is so much more than a game. It is family first. 287 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: That there is no doubt in my mind that was 288 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: the message that Billy has absolutely embedded in this team 289 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: this week. It's something that Queensland is already. We usually 290 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: love to tell ourselves a tale about that the team 291 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: is a family, so always put your family first. But 292 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: this one hit a little bit differently and there is 293 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind that that was what was 294 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: reflected in the team's performance. 295 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: It was literally perfect. 296 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: It was perfect for I'm going to say, ah, I 297 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: think it was sixty nine minutes. The Morons completed every 298 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: single set. They did not make a mistake. That is 299 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: unheard of, unheard of in any any football game across codes. 300 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: Perfect for sixty nine minutes. 301 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: What can you take me to the couch at your 302 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: childhood home. I'm guessing you and Terry what it was 303 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: like sitting there and watching it with your dad. 304 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: Oh, it was so great. And this it's another way 305 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: I get to go home, like homes Queensland. You live 306 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: in Melbourne. 307 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: Now, you've been in Sydney before that, so you don't 308 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: get to go home and watch footy with your dad 309 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: very often. 310 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: Now I don't, I don't. 311 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have watched an Origin game with my dad, 312 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: like just sitting around the telly for years. 313 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: I can't even remember the last time. 314 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: Let alone that be a decider, Let alone that be 315 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: with the backdrop of the ultimate theme of this game 316 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: being about fathers. 317 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: Really, and I'm there sitting with my. 318 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: Dad watching this team that we have loved for God, 319 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: as we always say on this podcast, how old am I? 320 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,359 Speaker 1: Like more than twenty five years. I've loved this team 321 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: and I've loved it with him. So to see them 322 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: at the start, we were so nervous. We're both sitting 323 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: on the couch together in our origin Jersey. We're not 324 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: really talking to each other. We're not really talking about 325 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: the game too much because, hey, we weren't favorites to win. 326 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: There's way Queensland should have won this game. But then 327 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: within about oh I reckon, it was only three dodgy 328 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: minutes and they selected a bolter. They selected a guy 329 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: that wasn't even playing NRL last season. Oh, I know Shibasaki. 330 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: We adore he's a Broncos center. Yeah, this is the 331 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: thing that the Morons had no right to win this game. 332 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: The Blues with their talent, and it is unquestionable talent. 333 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: They've also got a man named Nathan Cleary in there. 334 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: You know, any time that he takes to the field, 335 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: anyone's a chance, anyone's a chance, because he can put 336 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: everyone on his back and say I've got this. But 337 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: we had a team of rookie centers Toya and Shibasaki. 338 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: Unbelievable performance. Unbelievable performance from both of them at the 339 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: height the pinnacle of the game. I cannot even begin 340 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: to imagine the anxiety and the nerves from them. Tommy 341 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: Dierden won not only Player of the match last night, 342 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: he won Player of the Series. 343 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: That tackle he laid on top I'm like no one 344 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: else can do that. We talk about incredible people. 345 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: Brian to head and shoulders above everyone else nearly more 346 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: than did. And I wouldn't have been unhappy if he 347 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: was named Player of the Series in a losing team 348 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: like he was that good. And there was just so 349 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: many wonderful moments that just make you love rugby league. 350 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: And I yes, I'm saying that as a Queensland fan 351 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: on the right side of history. 352 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 3: Do you know what I'll say though, as someone who's 353 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 3: an observer of rugby league, and so often rugby league 354 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: can at times be the butt of the joke of 355 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: toxic masculinity. Yeah, yeah, I think that last night and 356 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: the week leading up to this game has been the 357 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: most perfect example of what beautiful masculinity can be. Yeah, 358 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 3: And the camera monster says, you know, I call Billy 359 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: and I tell him what happened to my dad, And 360 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: then within ours, Billy's there sitting with me on my bed. 361 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: Because that's positive male friendship, and that CAM says, I'm 362 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: going to be there for you regardless, and then I'm 363 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 3: going to lean in. And then you see these two 364 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 3: men and we're talking greats of the game, the hard game, 365 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 3: the toughest game rugby league, with all these cameras in 366 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 3: their face, Like the cameras are mere less than half 367 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: a meter away from them because everyone's trying to get 368 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: the shot, and they're sobbing into one another, and you 369 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 3: can see that Billy's whispering and saying things to Cam 370 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 3: about how proud he would be or how Proudy's dad 371 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 3: would be, and I just went, oh, this is beautiful. 372 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 3: It's special and also just a sign of like, check 373 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 3: on your mates, how many times have we or what 374 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: being there for people in your life can look like. 375 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: And I think so much of the narrative that we've 376 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: had around AFL this year has been be there for 377 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: your mates when people go through hard things, be there 378 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 3: for them or or lean in or be part of 379 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 3: the community. 380 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: And it was just, I don't know, it's came to be. 381 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: He's like, you're right. I'm like, this is the best 382 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: reality TV I've ever watched. 383 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 3: Because that's what it feels like. It feels like you're 384 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: watching these characters that you think you know. Yeah, we 385 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: don't know them personally, but you feel like you know them, 386 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 3: and it's emotional. 387 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: It's emotional and also because they've just delivered you such joy. 388 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I could have cried emotional tears of joy last night 389 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: because how much I loved that performance and how much 390 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: I loved that game and what it meant to me. 391 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: And then I'm seeing my heroes for one of a 392 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: better word, I'm seeing my heroes up there letting, giving 393 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: into their emotions, Rugby League, you know, being a manly man, 394 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: all of that style, warsism, blah blah blah blah blah. 395 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: What we saw last night was You're exactly right. We 396 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: saw heart, we saw hat and it was on full display. 397 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: And that is what beat New South Wales, that is 398 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: what continues to beat New South Wales every single series 399 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: that the Morons win when we have not been given 400 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: a chance. Back in twenty the worst team we've ever 401 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: we've ever assembled won the series. There's you know it 402 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: should be a whitewash, won the series and that is 403 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: because it just means more. It means more, and we 404 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: had this element in this game in particular where it 405 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: meant even more because of the personal tragedy that's attached 406 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: to it. 407 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: All of those players. There's no way I actually felt 408 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: quite confident. 409 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: I was nervous, but that I had a confidence within 410 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: me when the players ran out onto the field because 411 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: I knew that not one of those Queensland players would 412 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: want to look Cameron monster in the face. Yeah after 413 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: that game if they didn't win, not one they would be. 414 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: They weren't. They weren't going to let that happen because 415 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: they wanted to win for Cameron. They wanted to win 416 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: for his dad, Steven, and they wanted to win for 417 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: the state because Cameron has put that state above so much, 418 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: so much in his career and this week was a 419 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: perfect example of that. 420 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: And you think back to before Game two where it 421 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: was Cameron Monster saying I love this bloke talking about 422 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 3: Billy Slater who needed a lift up. 423 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you. 424 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: Think about like Billy Slater was in a world of 425 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 3: hurt after game one because he came out in the 426 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: post match press offense where they got some mashed and 427 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: it could have been so much worse if the Blues 428 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 3: actually kicked right, and he's like, no, we've got the 429 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 3: right men. Granted he did then make some big selection changes, 430 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 3: but he backed in his team and everyone's like this guy, 431 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: Oh my god. And so my question to you, now, 432 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: do you think that Billy Slater will remain at the 433 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: Helm or will he go out on a high. 434 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: Now, he'll remain at the Helm. He'll be there next year. 435 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: There's no way. 436 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: There's no way that they'll replace him, especially after what 437 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: that performance meant. 438 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: But he want to stay. I don't think they'll replace him. 439 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: But like, I don't think they'll replace him now. 440 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: I think he'll want to stay. I think because Billy 441 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: as well, he's such as statesman. There's no way that 442 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: he'll want to let the team down. He won't want 443 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: to let the state down. I think that he will stay. 444 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: I think he'll stay because also he's shown that he's 445 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: not afraid of making those big calls, Like not only 446 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: did he have rookie pairings, he brought back he brought 447 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: back everyone's favor sete. I'm going to say second favorite 448 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: player if you don't happen to go for the Raiders, 449 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: but Josh. 450 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 2: Papa Litty after the man, Yeah done, big Papa. 451 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: He was back after the man retired from orisin football 452 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 1: like three year ye ago, Like what what? And then 453 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: you have that moment like Billy isn't afraid to make 454 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: those big calls, And I just can't see him having 455 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: done all of that and walking away from the team. 456 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 2: I can't see that. I think he'll be there in 457 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 458 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 3: It would also be addictive, right, like the high blows, 459 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: the big blows, like everything that he would have felt 460 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 3: last night, like in that excerpt you just played where 461 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: he's like, I just I've been proud, but I've never 462 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: felt like that. 463 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: And I'm hoping, I'm hoping. 464 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: I know it was on my outlist at the start 465 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: of this podcast season, but god, I hope someone was 466 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: filming the whole freaking thing. And there's a sports doco 467 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: that I can absolutely inhale. 468 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: At the end of the year. 469 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm concerned because I didn't see enough Roven cameras, but 470 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: I'm really hopeful that they've captured everything everything, you know. 471 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: That mean that's like I'm done, I'm done. Cut the tape. 472 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 3: That would have been you after game one. They would 473 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 3: have been doing expos and the Maroons and you'd be like, 474 00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: I'm out, I'm out. 475 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: Do I need it. 476 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: Now? 477 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 3: It's really special and it's just one of those things 478 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: where backs against the wall playing for something bigger. Yeah, 479 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 3: I've got to hand it to rugby league. It's just 480 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: so cool. And also games were played in perse there's 481 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 3: a te like, I think rugby league is so far 482 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: on the up George. 483 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 2: It's really exciting. 484 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 3: But then that does beg the question of why does 485 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: an AFL have a crack at trying to implement an 486 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 3: element of this. I understand because they're like, oh, the 487 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 3: teams would never allow. The rugby league teams allow. 488 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we allow, and we've embraced it. There was I 489 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: think it was actually to the day to the day 490 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: the decider was forty five years since the very first 491 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: Origin game, so there was all of this history as 492 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: well for this particular match and this series. But going 493 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: back then, there was because of that, because of that milestone. 494 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: Isn't that the word? That's the word? 495 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: Let's say that because of that mile stone like commemoration, 496 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: A lot of players from that very first origin game 497 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: were interviewed and lots of them said that they actually 498 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: didn't want to play against their mates. They didn't want 499 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: to play against their teammates and ruled themselves out of selection. 500 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: They didn't want to be injured, they didn't want to 501 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: risk their club season for doing this standalone exhibition match 502 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: and we've just seen that. Thank goodness that they stuck 503 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: with it, because now it is the pinnacle of sport 504 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: in this country. 505 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 3: Do you think that it's only because it was established 506 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: forty five years ago that it continues to exist. 507 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: Because if you had a. 508 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 3: Drinking game for every post match where they've blamed state 509 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 3: of origin for losses, And to be fair, if you're 510 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 3: the Panthers, like poor Ivan Clear, he's gotten a hand 511 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: behind his back because he's got like. 512 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: Four players that are out like four stars. Yeah. 513 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: Also, to be fair to Blues fans, there's no way 514 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: that Nathan Cleary doesn't have the flu or something like. 515 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: He just was not there last night on the field 516 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: and he was missing for a lot of the series 517 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: in what we're used to him being able to pull off. 518 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: So I'm with you. I'm with you. 519 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: There can be a huge casualty ward when it comes 520 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: to club football. But you ask any you ask any 521 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: rugby league player, They'll be like, I want to play Origin. 522 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: I want to play Origin. 523 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: I love playing for my and I even think playing 524 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: for Australia. 525 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's always been a question, which is for Australia 526 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 7: state Like I feel like state of origin means more 527 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 7: than playing for your country, which is wild and again 528 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 7: in AFL that is an option, Australia taking on Australia. 529 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: Australia a champions of the World again, hooray for us. 530 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: You actually took my fun fact because my fun factor 531 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 3: was going to be that it had been forty five 532 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 3: years since Origin. 533 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: Oh really, inception, inception, because that was oh, here we are. 534 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 3: I I do really hope that the AFL bring in 535 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: something because Georgie, we're seeing at the moment the gaping 536 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 3: chasm between the haves and the have nots of the AFL, 537 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 3: and this time last year, we were all celebrating and 538 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: the AFL was celebrating themselves about how tight the competition 539 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: was and how to get a whiteboard out about who 540 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: was going to make the eight. There's never been such 541 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: a gap between those that can make it and those 542 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 3: that can't. And I think that in order to keep 543 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 3: things interesting, we've seen Simon Goodwin even suggest that, you know, 544 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: why don't we have conferences? Because you have teams in 545 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: the AFL that have gone fifty years without winning a 546 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: flag or having something to really tangibly celebrate, why not 547 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 3: give them something else other than the premiership. 548 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: How would it work, though? Explain this to me. Explain 549 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: this to me. I have been in my origin bubble, 550 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: so explain this to me. 551 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: Well, essentially, it would be the same as what they 552 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 3: sort of do in the NBA, as in there's different conferences, 553 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: but the conferences would always change, and of course that's 554 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: East Coast versus West Coast in the NBA, but it 555 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: would also I just think they would have different conferences 556 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 3: that would have to change so that you could have 557 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 3: different finals and different bits and pieces. And it's obviously 558 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 3: such a rolling concept because you've got new teams coming 559 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 3: in anyway. 560 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: But for mine, I'd love like a wild card round. 561 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, just something to make it interesting because 562 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 3: it was a new first on the weekend. 563 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: It really was. I'm playing the. 564 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 3: Bottom nine and no one could have predicted that Sydney 565 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: would be in the bottom nine. 566 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: But man, I'm not. 567 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: Against the idea jealmy. I just don't know how it 568 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: would work, and I know nothing officially has been tabled. 569 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: This is just all you know, pie in the sky thinking. 570 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: But I'm not sure. I'm not sure how it would. 571 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: Work, although for like Prio fans, for Saint Kilda fans, 572 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: for North Melbourne fans, you know, for fans who haven't 573 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: had that sense or any real skin in the game 574 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: for so long decades or ever. For your poor doctors, 575 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: maybe maybe that would be maybe that would be of 576 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: interest so that there's something to keep them chugging along 577 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: for the whole season. 578 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 2: I just think the AFL. 579 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: Needs to be creative and it's exciting that when all 580 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: the AFL heads of come together, which they do, the 581 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: presidents all get together and have a meeting occasionally, and 582 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: I think it's exciting that they're thinking innovative. But they 583 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: need to the sporting landscape now isn't restricted to just 584 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 3: what we can see in Australia. There's so much access 585 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 3: with cable to be able to watch American sports and 586 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 3: get into different things, and you've just got to make 587 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: it dynamic. 588 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: And it is way too long. The game, Oh oh 589 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: my god. Last night, even State of Origin, I was like, 590 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: when are they? When are they going to kick off? 591 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: I was thinking of you, I was thinking of George. 592 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 1: It was I got post eight and I was like, probly, 593 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: but I'm struggling and I'm really engaged in this. 594 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: I napped before it. I'm not even joking. 595 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 3: I slept in my son's bed and woke up at 596 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 3: like quarter eight and I was like, oh, thank god. 597 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: Now I'm refreshed because I just can't. 598 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: I can't and I don't know how genuinely, Like granted, 599 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 3: I'm a weirdo and I'm also getting little sleep at 600 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 3: the moment, but how are you meant to engage kids 601 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 3: in a game, Like if you've got young kids, yes, 602 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 3: at school holidays, but they're not staying up. 603 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: It's I'm with you, I'm with you. 604 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: I would have loved the kickoff to beat actually seven 605 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: spring everything earlier bring everything earlier. Have it be seven 606 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: oh five pm instead of the eight point fifteen seventeen 607 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: whatever it was. Eventually when we kicked off last night, 608 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: it's just so late, so late, And you could see 609 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: the players when they were doing their victory lap last night. 610 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: Valehelmes is there with this tiny, tiny, tiny baby, and 611 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: I was like. 612 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 3: Oh, you awake to be fair, tiny tiny tiny babies 613 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 3: are the only ones that are find because in any context, 614 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 3: you're like, mate, you're in a cycle, It'll be fine. 615 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 3: I my heart just exploded for you last night because 616 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 3: I knew how much it would mean to you.

Maybe it's not 630 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: a conference style system. Maybe it's more of like an 631 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: Australia's Got Talent or an Australian Idol spin off series 632 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: that we can do at the halfway point, if you know, 633 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: if the team's just two separate. 634 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 3: So if I'm Abby coded, then that's Georgie coded. 635 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: I don't know.
