44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,040

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: the place where they've got some really cool tall duck

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,359

Speaker 1: few times, got a coastline, played Rugby, didn't surf.

52
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: Anyhow.

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,520

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: She lives in Hawaii. So but anyway, play on.

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: That's a lot of surface doing that these days because

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: I think they're all from such a concentrated They tend

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: to be from a few concentrated countries, so if there's

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: an opportunity for them to diversifying their nationality representation field.

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: They do so.

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: the Olympics from each country.

63
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: So we've seen a lot of that happen lately.

64
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: After the wind, Brooks told me, as a world card,

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,519

123
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,600

124
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: think it was, and she was back training after winning

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 2: I know there's been some noise in WNBA two. A

130
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: lot of the big dogs have been like, oh yeah,

131
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: not okay, exhausting, not okay, like too much, too quick.

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: On that note, very interesting to see that. Serena William's husband.

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: It's how we should be known. Alexis Ohanian his new

134
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: brand that he started, ath Los Athlos. I don't know

135
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: if that's a very Australian pronunciation, but yeah, just on

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: your point about Diamond League pretty much paying their salaries,

137
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be very cool. We're starting to see

138
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: a whole new range of different athletes centric models to

139
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: pay athletes more, and we're talking track and field athletes

140
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: because they've historically not been paid very well in n

141
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: ERLW no comment from you. The Gold Coast Titans have

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: punished an era ridden Rooster's side twenty six to six,

143
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: and what was a rematch of last year's semi final.

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,440

145
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: missing thirty eight tackles across the seventy minutes. The Titans

146
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: had no such troubles, and on the back of a

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: dominant performance from her pack, led by one hundred and

148
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven meter effort from Shannon Marto, Lauren Brown created chaos.

149
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: With ball in hand. She set up two of her

150
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: sides five tries and scored to herself and a Marto.

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: There was a bit of a almost a bit, did

152
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: you see it?

153
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: It's a bit of hate.

154
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: The roosters were fired up. They were not happy. You

155
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: cranky chik. Carylympicks mascot around as we discussed and you're

156
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000

157
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,960

00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: get there.

164
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,680

Speaker 2: Nelly called a rocket and bean in yesterday's third round

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: freezing apparently sixty kilometer per hour wins.

173
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: That's not fun for golf.

174
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: That's not nice. No.

175
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: So leading for the.

176
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: First two days nearly quarter whilst wearing a ben he

177
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: stumbled and two time champion daya Shin charged the top

178
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: of lead board with a tremendous third round performance as

179
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: quarter and several others endured struggles on another day, gusty

180
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: crosswinds gusty, the vastly experienced Shein put together a thrilling

181
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: sixty seven packed with magical moments to reach seven under.

182
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,600

186
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: and currently sit tied at nineteenth and seventieth respectively. So,

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: as we said, it pretty wild conditions. Kariyaku told media

188
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: the conditions were like that at her home course in Sydney.

189
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: She said, my golf course at home is right on

190
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: the water, so playing the wind a lot, so it's

191
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: kind of a little taste of home. There's something about

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: being creative and the challenge that gets me excited.

193
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: Where does she play?

194
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Now?

195
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: You keep I'm going to have a little google year.

196
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: Long reefer that's very much on the water.

197
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: Indinue your story.

198
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much, boss In tennis, five Australian

199
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: women have completed successful qualifying campaigns and set new records

200
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: in the process. At the US Open twenty twenty four.

201
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: This is the first time in tournament history that five

202
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: Australian women have earned main draw berths through qualifying and

203
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: almost triples the previous record of two. Love that they've

204
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: really gone hard. So there was two twenty nine and

205
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen Arida Roddy and Nova my adjoint Kimberly Beryl,

206
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Priscilla Hon and Destiny Iava, boosting the total number of

207
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Ossie women and this is singles main draw to eight.

208
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: It also marks the first time in eleven years that

209
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Australia has had qualifiers in both the men's and women's events.

210
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: At Flashing Meadows, four of the players won. They're qualifying

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: in straight sets well, twenty six year old Haunts done

212
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: top seed Camilla Rakamova seven six six, seven six in

213
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: a two hour and forty seven minute battle. These efforts

214
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: in sure Australia will have the most women's singles competitors

215
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: in thirty five years. So good.

216
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 3: I love that.

217
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: For anyone that was wondering Kiyaki's home course, it's at

218
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: Michael's in Little Bay, eastern Sydney.

219
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, there you go. You ever played around there yourself?

220
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: No, I'm not much of a golfer.

221
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: I haven't seen your golf swing.

222
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: I did have lessons my dad had, you know, dreams

223
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: of me being on the circuit. But to be boring

224
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: just for a long time.

225
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: You don't really have a golf personality, did you.

226
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: I do like the idea of being able to stop

227
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: for a beer halfway around. That's nice.

228
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: That is your golf personality. Let's take a look at

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: the key story for.

230
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: The National Women's Soccer League or NWSL has become the

231
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 2: first major US professional sports league to abolish the draft system.

232
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: It comes as the NWSL and its players Association have

233
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: now a new collective bargaining agreement that includes improved salaries,

234
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: better benefits, and revenue sharing for the first time. New agreement,

235
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: which runs until twenty thirty, means the NWSL draft and

236
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: expansion drafts will no longer be held. So, clok, can

237
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: you please tell me what is a draft system?

238
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: Great question. A draft is a process used in some

239
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: countries and sports to allocate certain players to teams. So

240
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: in a draft, teams take turns selecting from the pool

241
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: of eligible players. When a team selects a player, the

242
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract,

243
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and no other team in the league may sign the player.

244
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: So NWSLPA president So the Players Association president Tory Huster

245
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: said in a statement, the draft is an antiquated model

246
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: that empowers teams to decide for players instead of players

247
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: deciding for themselves. Okay, I'm liking where this is going

248
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: because it's a weird concept. I mean, we've got it

249
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: in AFLW majority of sports user draft.

250
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is an interesting for me, a draft always

251
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: seems like the choice is from the player.

252
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, particularly when sorry, I'm just totally going sideways from

253
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: this quote, but particularly with aflw's starting next year to

254
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: have a national draft, which is going to be compulsory,

255
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: whereas this year it was opt in. You could be

256
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: moving to the other side of the country as an

257
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: eighteen year old for you later.

258
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rough.

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: I mean, on one hand, you say that sport, but

260
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: on the other hand, if you can actually come up

261
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: with a system that works that removes that and gives

262
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: the player a little bit more ownership of their destiny,

263
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: I like it.

264
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: I'll go back to I've got a lot to say

265
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: about this. I'll go back to Torries quote. I'll let

266
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: the proper professional talk about this, she said. Now players

267
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: can choose the team environment that fits their needs and

268
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: maximizes their opportunities. Teams will need to step up to

269
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: create environments that appeal to players.

270
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: I like it. I'm watching the footy. Oh my gosh,

271
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: wearing down by seven.

272
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Sorry, run, We've just actually had a

273
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: pause when I looked at Bez to say, you say something,

274
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: she's actually streaming the Carlton game. In the men's men's football,

275
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Can you believe it?

276
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: Very rude.

277
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: The move will align the NWSL closer to other women's

278
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: football leagues around the world with FIFA regulations on the

279
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: status and transfer of players. As part of this, we

280
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: see the league scrap the discovery rule, which permitted clubs

281
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: to hold the rights to individual players without signing them.

282
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: That occurs in a few different sports.

283
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: Weldg you effectively, e It's like we hold the rights

284
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,359
Speaker 2: to negotiate you as a commodity with other clubs.

285
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: And I love that.

286
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all.

287
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: All players will be able to enter unrestricted free agency

288
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: once their contracts expire, while all trades and transfers will

289
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: require player consent before going ahead.

290
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: Love a bit of consent, It's so good.

291
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 2: The base salary cap will increase significantly, from US three

292
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: point three million for the twenty twenty five season to

293
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: at least US five point one million in twenty thirty.

294
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: The minimum salary for players will also more than double

295
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: over the duration of the CBA, starting at US forty

296
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: eight and a half thousand next year, and will eventually

297
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: increase to US eighty two and a half thousand by

298
00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: twenty thirty.

299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: Right, that's the minimum.

300
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: So we're talking one twenty asie minimum by twenty thirty.

301
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: It's not bad. Minimum Minimum's nice.

302
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: Nice.

303
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: In addition, all contracts will now be guaranteed a players

304
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: base pay will also be supplemented by a new revenue

305
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: sharing agreement, which will see income generated from the league's

306
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: prior year media and sponsorship agreements added to each team's

307
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: salary cap. This is awesome. This is really where it's at.

308
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: The league that it expects further increases to the salary

309
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: cap as broadcasts and sponsorship revenue goes further Its current

310
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: media rights deals which are worth two hundred and fifty

311
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: million US dollars overall and were signed last year. We'll

312
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: expire in twenty twenty seven. The NWSL has also agreed

313
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: to expand parental leave and childcare benefits, as well as

314
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: mental health services. The number of health professionals clubs can use.

315
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: Teams will be able to take charter flights for up

316
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: to six legs within the league season. The NWSL and

317
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: their players Association also agreed to increase the number of

318
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: health professionals each club is required to have from six

319
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: to ten. Do we think this is a good decision?

320
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and I think it's interesting. So these

321
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: improved conditions. The reality is that right now you're talking,

322
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: NWSL was obviously probably one of the trailblazers in regards

323
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: to women's football leagues across the world. They've definitely fallen

324
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: back a little bit. The European clubs have really heavily invested. Obviously,

325
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: the Women's Super League in the UK is massive. There's

326
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: some huge clubs in both Germany and Spain and France

327
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: doing huge things. So I think any of the USL

328
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: is using these, you know, improved CBA conditions to compete

329
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: with those European clubs. Obviously, the European clubs do have

330
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: the opportunity to play Champions League, and like we said,

331
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: for those big name clubs. But if the end ep

332
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: cell can continue to improve those working conditions, improve minimum salaries,

333
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: I think you know they're fighting the fight. And like

334
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: it or not, you've got some really big private investors

335
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: in the game, in the NWSL, and they're putting there.

336
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: They're investing in women's sport.

337
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Who knew? Who knew the Common Sense podcast? To draft

338
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: or not to draft?

339
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: That is the question.

340
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: Look, I think it's as a system, it has it

341
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: has its benefits, but I think if you can find

342
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: another way that allows people a bit more freedom of choice,

343
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: I like it.

344
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: I agree with you. My only concern is for the

345
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: teams that I'm probably coming back to my af W

346
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: mindset here where it's a Victorian centric sport, where there's

347
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: talent in certain areas, the draft ensures equity in a way.

348
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and without trying to offend anyone in particular, there's

349
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: in America, I'm sure who take America who's as an example?

350
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: There are more desirable cities to live in. Who doesn't

351
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: want to play for Angel City, you know in LA

352
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: with all the rock stars you know as your owners

353
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: and your powers versus I don't know, I won't I

354
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: won't call anyone out, but that you know, there are

355
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: obviously more glamorous locations and so you do have to

356
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: find a way to evenly spread that talent.

357
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. Make it

358
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: quick so you can go check the Carson score.

359
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: We're back, three M clubs back.

360
