1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Well, there's a very complicated route to get the Matilda's

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: into the Olympics in July, but an important step is

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: happening tomorrow with the girls playing Uzbekistan. To explain more,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: let's get former Matilda's player and now commentator of that

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: very game, Amy Chapman on high Amy.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Morning, Thanks for having me.

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: That's great, Amy. You like how Amanda went full SBS

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: on Uzbeka Stan. Will you will be saying that as

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: well when you're commentating.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: I've got a bit of practice to do between now

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and commentating on Saturday and some tricky names. I don't

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: know too many people from Azbakistan, so a bit of

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: work to do for me.

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: So what happens with this? I mean, we all love

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: the Matilda's. Obviously we did so well in the World Cup.

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: Are we assuming that we will qualify for the Olympics.

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I'd be very very confident. But it's not to say

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: it's traditionally been a very tricky path for Matilda's. There

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: was a twelve year hiatus there from the Olympics for

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: the Matildas from I think two thousand and four till

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, so yeah, really tricky time for the Matildas

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: to qualify, we have to go through Japan or North Korea,

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: South Korea. This time we have lucked out a little

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: bit as Zekistan are a fair bit lower ranked, but

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: they are an unknown and first leg of course away

27
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: in a Zbekistan in minus one degree.

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: No, Christy, And if we win this on Saturday a

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: week have we qualified or is it still more complicated?

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: A little bit more complicated. It's it's two legs, so

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: you play them away and then they'll come to Melbourne

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and it's just the best of those two

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: games as an aggregate. So look, if we have a

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: confident win over there, a draw or even a lesser

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: loss here would do the job. So it's just the

36
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: best of two games.

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: And speaking of leg Sam Kerse she had that leg injury.

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: She's not playing, is she No?

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Sammy's out for a little while. She had the dreaded

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: ACL so that'll see her out for the majority of

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: this year. So that has been the big question mark.

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: How do we replace Sam and a few new faces

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: in there, and potential reshuffles will have to be what

44
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Tony goos Stuff's relies on.

45
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean We've been talking on the show this week

46
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: about the notion that a whole lot of men, like

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: fifty percent of men, think they can land a plane,

48
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: they can take on a bear, they can outrun a

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: bear and take it on. They imagine all these things.

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: I reckon there's a whole lot of men who reckon

51
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: that they could probably take on women in women's sport.

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: I could do that. Do you find that that guys

53
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: go I could beat the matildas?

54
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: It totally depends about how much they know. I think.

55
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I think those who don't know a huge amount about

56
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: it assume a lot of things. But I think the

57
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: great thing about the World Cup was I think it

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: really showcase the intensity the women play out the skills

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: that they have. We generinely have a world class squad,

60
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: and these kills have been playing the same squad for

61
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: fifteen odd years now, so it's great that people are

62
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: starting to stop and realize how great they are. But

63
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time training with men or

64
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: playing with men or sort of older boys, so we

65
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: know exactly the things that the women are better at,

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: And of course it's just the pace and power is

67
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: the one thing. Once they're fully grown men. It's difficult,

68
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: but in terms of skill set, there's a lot. There's

69
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: nothing that the women can't do that the men can.

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: I remember I was doing a speech at my own

71
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: son's wedding when you guys were playing, Yeah, and people

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: were just cheering up and how good am I in

73
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: this speech? But they're all watching your.

74
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: Game, including me on our phone.

75
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: Amanda's going go go okay, stairs, steady on. I'm just

76
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: doing a toast to the bride and groom.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: Here we're all watching the game. It was so thrilling.

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: What a great ride. And here's to here's to the

79
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: women bringing getting into the Olympics. What a great thing

80
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: that would be.

81
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be absolutely fantastic. So obviously everyone can get

82
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: behind the Chillis. It's always a great weekend when you've

83
