She recently 144 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: spoke on The Draymond Green Show. So Draymond is an 145 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: NBA player who's somewhat controversial but hosts a good podcast. 146 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: Not a fan. 147 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: I was like, are you agreeing or disagreeing? 148 00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: Don't love it. 149 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people love Dreamer, Dreamer, 150 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: dream dream on j Roll, she's been sorry, very sidetracked. 151 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Candice went on his podcast and discussed life as a 152 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: WNBA veteran. She's been criticized by some for moving to 153 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the WNBA Champs the Las Vegas Aces, but she defended 154 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: her choice, saying she was warranted to take decisions like 155 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: that after playing the game for sixteen years. She also 156 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: pointed out how it was frustrating that everyone was targeting 157 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: her career choices when the game couldn't provide her with 158 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: basic amenities. Parker said, I have not had a locker 159 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: in my entire career. I've been in the WNBA for 160 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: sixteen years and I have not had a locker where 161 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: it has my name on it and I can leave 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: my shit and then come back and know my shit 163 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: going to be there. 164 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: Love that so good, like frightening, But I love her 165 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: for calling it out to absolutely. 166 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: She also said I fought so hard to bring the 167 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: WNBA along that I've never had a practice facility where 168 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: I can just go and get shots up at night. 169 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I just want to touch on that Bez Parker having 170 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to defend herself about the fact that she's moved teams, 171 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: and we actually see a bit of that, particularly around 172 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: AFOW and NRLW when it comes to sign and trade 173 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: periods when some of the big name players move clubs. 174 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: And I think while women's sport is still in its 175 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: growth phase where we don't have professionalism of the women's 176 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: game here in Australia, and even if you look at 177 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: some of the WNBA salaries, Candas Parker would be on 178 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: good money, but compared to something like the NBA would 179 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: be pretty measly. I don't think you can hold it 180 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: against someone and push this loyalty card if people are 181 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: trying to set themselves up to make a living. 182 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. And in the WBA is a perfect example there. 183 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: The cap is I think about what it's not even 184 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: what Steph Curry earns pretty much, I'm making that up, 185 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: but it's you know, it's similar to that. The reality 186 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: is for someone like Kandas Parker, she is like sixteen 187 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: years in she's coming to the end of her career. 188 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: If the Las Vegas Aces have come to her and said, hey, 189 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: comes fend your twilight years with us, we'll look after you, 190 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: we'll pay you good money, I'm sure there's some awesome 191 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: third party deals involved in that kind of space for her, 192 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: I just, yeah, it's rich criticizing someone trying to make 193 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: a living. 194 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: I totally agree. So looks like twenty twenty three salary 195 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: cap for the WNBA is one point four mil and 196 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the player max is about two hundred k. 197 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: Wow, not even that's like what those boys earn in a. 198 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Week, honestly, And if you think about someone of Kandas 199 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: Parker's calibar playing for sixteen years and that's the max, 200 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: it's pretty disappointing. 201 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: She can choose wherever she bloody wants to play, just quietly. 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: I agree. The Las Vegas Aces, We've been chatting for 203 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: a bit about this locker. They rectified it for Parker 204 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: in a pretty big way. Her number three jersey was 205 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: hanging proudly in a new locker with her name on it. 206 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: The Aces are the first team to have a facility 207 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: that was built solely to howse a WNBA team. The 208 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: Aces unveiled the facility last week and it boasts a 209 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: training facility, pot and cold plunge pools, hydro works whatever 210 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: that is, infrared sawn, our cryer chamber, nutrition bar, and 211 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: a film room. The film room looks sick go on 212 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: our Instagram at the Female Athlete Project. I'm concerned about 213 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: the white couches though. 214 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: And also just nine eyes in that dark room after 215 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: a session. 216 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: Loutely there'd be a lot of yes, yes, other way, Yes, 217 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm ready for training. So the dedicated facility 218 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: means that Parker will now be able to work on 219 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: her game and her body whenever she wants, and this 220 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: has to become the norm for a competition of the 221 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: WNBA's standing in netball. 222 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: The Melbourne Vixens remain unbeaten at home. Muffee Curing a 223 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 2: one point win.

Adelaide built a 242 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: sizeable eight goal lead in the second quarter, but errors 243 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: in the third quarter let the Giants back into the game. 244 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: I love this.

It's pretty difficult to inspire anyone if they 286 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: are trees falling in. 287 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: The forest with no one around to hear it. 288 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: Instead of live coverage, the F one Academy will release 289 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: a fifteen minute round by round highlights program to rights 290 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: holding broadcasters the Wednesday following a race weekend, which will 291 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: also be available on F one controlled channels. So they're 292 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: there and they're filming at all for the purpose of 293 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: making highlights package and then taking the time to create 294 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: the highlights package, you could just stream it live on 295 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: an online platform, could you know. 296 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: One hundred percent? It absolutely should be on a YouTube 297 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: channel of the f ones. 298 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally so. 299 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: Speaking at the Black Book Motorsport Forum at the end 300 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 2: of April, Formula One's head of Digital Technology, James Bradshaw 301 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: revealed that the delivery of the live races is quite 302 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: challenging and currently there are no plans in place for 303 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: live streaming. Bradshaw said that due to the locations and 304 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: not being consistent with the F one and Academy races, 305 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: that was the reason. So obviously because they weren't at 306 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: the same place, they couldn't entity as huge as Formula one. 307 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty big, pretty rich entity, I'd. 308 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: Say, really serious coin definitely cannot provide two separate media 309 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: teams mad So, Yeah, he said it was due to 310 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: locations not being consistent, and he said, so that actually 311 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: has made the concept of streaming quite challenging. On the 312 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: basis that we don't have the same infrastructure that we 313 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: have at the circuit and able to bring that back, 314 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: But we are doing innovative work to bring the content 315 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: that's being produced at a mixture of locations, either off 316 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: site or at the circuit, and bring that content back 317 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: and we'll be providing highlights packages and other shoulder programming 318 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: of F one. 319 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: Academy sounded like a lot of words. 320 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: And even reading it didn't make any sense to me. 321 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: I thought that was a pretty lame excuse. 322 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: So it has been reported that F one Academy aimed 323 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: to live broadcast the season finale, which will be held 324 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: at the Circuit of the Americas as a supporting race 325 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: to the F one Grand Prix, and it has been 326 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: said that next season there will be more Academy races 327 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: on the support bill for a select number of F 328 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: one Grand Prix, which will remove the need for multiple 329 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: media teams. The Academy costs drivers to participate, with the 330 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: requirements currently sitting at one hundred and fifty five thousand 331 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: euros for each driver. Formula one then matches that amount. 332 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: Finding support from sponsors to allow drivers to compete is 333 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: challenging when the sport is not easily accessed and not live. 334 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: It's and we've discussed this a lot, like how do 335 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: they go out and try and get sponsors if the 336 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: sponsors don't have the guaranteed deliverables of broadcast coverage. 337 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: And that's what they are looking for. They're looking for 338 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: a return on investment, yep. And if they're not in 339 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: the public eye, how are they getting that return of investment. 340 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: It's ends up being a donation. It's a good will 341 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: it's a good will investment on a future concept that 342 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: has amazing potential but right now is being treated poorly. 343 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: And we've moved on from goodwill investments. 344 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: In women's sport absolutely. In rugby union, Bigiana drew I 345 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: have won back to back superw titles. On Saturday in 346 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: towns All, the Druid defeated the Queensland Reds thirty eight 347 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: to thirty and completed really what was an amazing reversal 348 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: of form. The Fijian team lost three matches in the 349 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: regular season and seemingly limped into the finals in fourth place, 350 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: and there was a lot of noise around unpaid bills, 351 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: no food and just a real general lack of support 352 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: from the FIA. Towards the team. The final series though, 353 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: were a completely different story, touched on the comeback win 354 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 2: over the Wara Tars. They got US twenty to seventeen 355 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: to dump us out of the finals and that was 356 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: the first time that war Tars were not in the 357 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: Grand Final in the competition's history, and there were many saying, 358 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: probably including me, that they may have played their Grand 359 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: final a week early. I thought the Reds did get them, 360 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: to be honest, but I was wrong. They were super 361 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: impressive again on Saturday night. They just play a brand 362 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 2: of rugby that is so hard to defend against. It's 363 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: so unpredictable, it's so hard to prepare for. They're strong, 364 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: they're fast, they move the footy. It's just great. 365 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: And I think when you guys met them earlier in 366 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: the season they probably lacked the execution of the brand 367 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: of footy that they wanted to play. But when it 368 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: starts to come together, as you said, it's so hard 369 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: to defend so hard. 370 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: The Queensland Reds team were pretty devastated at full time, 371 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: with the loss making another year of heartache for the club, 372 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 2: who are now zero wins from sight five Super w 373 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 2: Grand finals. Fijiana drew A. Captain Batilla Twaki said alf 374 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: the match. Before we went into this week, we talked 375 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: about creating your own history. We had a bunch of 376 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: new girls this year and we told them, if you 377 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: want to win, you have to create your own history, 378 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: and they did it today. It's like winning the World 379 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: Cup to us back at home. It means so much 380 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: to us that we can do something big. It's quite cool, 381 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: really cool. Yeah, and look, I think after they won 382 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: last year, in their first year in the tournament, there 383 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: was obviously they beat us, were pretty down. I reflected 384 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: on thought this is really good for the sport in 385 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 2: the country. Hasn't really panned out that way this year. 386 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: Support's been probably lacking. So I just hope that, you know, 387 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: despite how they were treated this year, they've still gone 388 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: and performed and got the job done. Really need the 389 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: FAU to get behind them because they are such talented athletes. 390 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: The tension now shifts to the international stage, so the 391 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: Wallaroos and Fijiana will play each other on Saturday, the 392 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: twentieth of May at Alliance Stadium in Sydney, So if 393 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: you're in Sydney, get some tickets. It's going to be 394 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 2: a cracker. 395 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: How good. 396 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: It's the start of a really big year for the 397 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: Aussie squad. We'll see them play eight test matches across 398 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: Canada and New Zealand and at home. 399 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: We love them getting the opportunity to play that many 400 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: test matches. Also, there's going to be some real tension 401 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: in that game between the Wallaroos and Fijiana because a 402 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: lot of the players I imagine from the injurid superw 403 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: team will be representing their country. And if you think 404 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: about both New South Wales Warritas and the Queensland Reds, 405 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: there's going to be some pays out seeking a bit 406 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: of redemption. 407 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: I'd say, yeah, get to it, it'll be a cracker. 408 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story in netball. 409 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: When Brisbane won the rights to host the twenty thirty 410 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: two Olympics and Paralympics, the chat in netball circles immediately 411 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: took off. Could this be the chance they were seeking 412 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: to be added to the Olympic Games? 413 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: Could it be? 414 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: Sure? I feel like I was on like a sitcom 415 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: then with like the laughing crowd. 416 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like we need the laughing crowd because 417 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: we think we're funny I'm sure about the crowd. 418 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: Shortly after the announcement, World Netball and Netble Australia launched 419 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: a joy campaign in the hope of pushing their case 420 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: for inclusion, and although the sport is huge in Australia, 421 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: the challenge is converting other nations to the netball family. 422 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: The game doesn't have a great history, with the IOC, 423 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: taking twenty years of lobbying and three failed attempts in 424 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven, nineteen eighty three and nineteen eighty seven 425 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: before netball was recognized by the IOC as an official 426 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: sport in nineteen ninety five. Once recognized, the request for 427 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: the game to be included in the Olympics has been 428 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: knocked back four times. It's pretty impressive for these people 429 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: campaigning like that's a lot of work to just keep 430 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: getting knocked back persistence. The main issues that the game 431 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: faces is the perception that netball is only played by 432 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: a few countries and is predominantly a female sport. I 433 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: got in at bit of trouble on Twitter because I 434 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: went on Sports Sunday on Channel nine and talked about 435 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: it being four women, which predominantly it is. But I 436 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: would like to acknowledge that there are a lot of 437 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: men who also play netball. 438 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: Correct. There are two avenues for netball to be included 439 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 2: in the Olympics. The first is through an application from 440 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: World Netball that would need to be submitted before the 441 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: IC session in twenty twenty five, so that's only two 442 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: years away and obviously a solid a year before the Olympics. 443 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: The request will be voted upon. A Netball would require 444 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: a two thirds majority vote from the IC delicate for 445 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 2: its application to be successful. If you think about the 446 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: countries those delegates are from, do you think delicate, del 447 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: I'm a bit delicate today, but they are delegates, delic 448 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: guts delegates. 449 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you weren't sure. 450 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 2: Oh, it's an English lesson every day with us. 451 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 452 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: If you think about where those delegates are from, it's 453 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: I feel like it'll be a push. 454 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: Do you agree to get two talking about two thirds of. 455 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 2: Delicates, the delicates, Yeah, particularly yes, the sporting nations. 456 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the hardest part of it. 457 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: And the America's Asia, Europe. 458 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Whereas Australia we're like, oh yeah, we want another show 459 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: at a gold medal. 460 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: It's a very Commonwealth based sport. Absolutely, the second avenue 461 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: is why the Brisbane twenty thirty two organizing Committee who 462 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: can make a request for the sport to be included 463 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: as one of the local sports for twenty thirty two. 464 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: So that's I think for Tokyo was skateboarding and baseball 465 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: and softball. 466 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: Is Paris breakdancing, yes, I think so, so weird power 467 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: to the breakdancers out there. 468 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 2: So that request needs to be done. No later than 469 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: three is out from the game, so they've got a 470 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 2: little bit more time to get that proposal together and 471 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 2: also to get I think the time probably allows for 472 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: the men's side of the sport to be developed further. 473 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: I would imagine if you had to say, in two 474 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 2: years time, here I see and if I started looking 475 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: at numbers and things like that, they might question it. 476 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: Whereas if they really put some effort in a year's time, 477 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 2: then you know the numbers will increase again investment. The 478 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: other hurdles though in that process is there are other 479 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 2: sports that are heavily played in Australia that will also 480 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: want to be considered, like cricket, squash, rugby league. There's 481 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: a lot that will be throwing their hat in the rings, 482 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: so it's not a foregone conclusion that netball will have 483 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 2: that avenue to themselves, and also the local sports inclusion 484 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: doesn't guarantee a permanent spot moving forward, as we saw 485 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: happen to have we seen that happen to softball and baseball, 486 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: which has not been approved for Paris twenty twenty four 487 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: despite being a part of Tokyo twenty twenty. 488 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: The ISIC will lean on the Olympic Agenda, which was 489 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: launched in twenty twenty and listed new quotas the cap 490 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: the games at ten thy five hundred athletes and strive 491 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: for an overall fifty percent female participation rate. Given netball 492 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: is a team sport, there's concerns that its inclusion alongside 493 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: other new team sports will place pressure on the athlete 494 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: cap and in relation to the gender split. Netball Australia 495 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: has been working hard in the men's space, with a 496 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: number of men's tests, stages, double headers alongside the women's 497 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: matches at both the Trans Tasman Constellation Cup and England 498 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: Roses Series held in October and November. Australian men's captain 499 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Dylan next It believes the games are a real possibility 500 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: and suggests that the game may have to be flexible 501 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: when it came to deciding on a format for the sport. 502 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: He told the ABC, I definitely think it's possible. It 503 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: just depends on what format they look at. There's lots 504 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: of rumors around that it could be a mixed fast 505 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: five events, So how it looks, We're not sure. You 506 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: think about skateboarding and all these progressive sports that are 507 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: coming into the Olympics and wonder if the traditional approach 508 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: is even what they're looking for anymore. 509 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting from Dylan. I think he's saying there is 510 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: a lot of like you said, break dancing, skateboarding, things 511 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: like that, so maybe a mixed fast five event would 512 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: be appealing to the masses. 513 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think those sports in Tokyo and Paris 514 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: have been to kind of get the young kids on 515 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: board with the Olympic movement to make sure that it 516 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: continues through. So we'll see what happens. Watch this space, people, 517 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: let's take a look at what to watch.
