I'm joined every week on 24 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: the show by my co host Bez Hey this week Thursday, 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,279 Speaker 1: Dropping Dropping Thursday, I had a chat to Marley Silver, 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: who does a lot of commentary work sideline commentary in 27 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: the Rugby League space, and Marley actually created a documentary 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: that just came out within the last couple of weeks 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: called Skin in the Game. And she originally started the 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: documentary to talk about her dad who played in the 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: NFL as an indigenous man and his story and kind 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: of her I guess taking over the mantle from him, 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: becoming a commentator in the game. And as she started 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: to tell the story and film the doco, it actually 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: evolved as a lot of conversations happened. Well not just conversations, 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: but a lot of women in Australia were killed by 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: current and former partners. It evolved into a broader conversation 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: around domestic violence in the NRL and the way that 39 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: the league has responsibility to address I think the gender 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: based violence, but also the way that sport can be 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: really powerful and positive tool in society. 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: Sounds awesome. I cannot wait to listen. 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: It was a really cool chat.

That's very confusing. Twenty 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: ninth of April. Will see you there. We are on 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: fire today. We're recording on Gaggle Lands. Let's take a 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: look around the grounds. 58 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 3: Some football, some Tillie's news. They're back and they're winning. 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: They've beaten in South Korea one nill in a pretty 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: close friendly game in Sydney. An early chance came to 61 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: the Tillies when Tamikiello forced a smart save of the 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: shot from distance in the fourteenth minute, and then just 63 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: five minutes later, a strong collision saw Kaitlin Ford requiring 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: treatment for a bloody nose. 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: It was almost tampons up the nose, wasn't it. 66 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: It was? There was definitely some cotton kind of situation 67 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: going up the nose there. It took some time for 68 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: play to resume, and no team were able to break 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: the deadlock in that first hard Cooney Cross tried to 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: take manage into her own hands. 71 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: Immediately from kickoff. 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: She shrugged off two or three Career Republic defenders advancing 73 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: towards the edge of the penalty era, which resulted in 74 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: a free kick, but Alana Kennedy couldn't. 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Beat the defensive ball clattered into the wall. You're at 76 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: the bar at that point. I was. I watched it 77 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: on the TV at the bar and it's so funny 78 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: when you hear the live reactions and then you see 79 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: it like two seconds later and you're like a little bit, 80 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: that's what it was. 81 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: The breakthrough did finally come in the fifty four minute 82 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: when Emily van Egmond launched a ball into the penalty 83 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: box which found a Career Republic's Lim Seonu, who could 84 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: only watch helplessly as it deflected from her head, over 85 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: the goalkeeper and into the back of her own net. 86 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: Ye. I'm not a soccer football like I mean, I 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: played a little bit as a kid, but I continue 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: to create soccer football yes, I thought it was football soccer. 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: Oh did I did? I flip it? Football soccer? What 90 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: is the policy around how much you're allowed to celebrate 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: if you kick the ball but it's technically an own goal? Personally, yes, 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I celebrate the absolute you know what out of it. Well, 93 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean there was there was a great celebration from 94 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: the Tillies, but I just I'm I wasn't sure, Like, 95 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: what's the go like if you kick it? I mean 96 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: you've still you've obviously kicked it to a good spot. 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it. 98 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: Deal with it. Dell. 99 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: Interesting though, I hear what you're saying. 100 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: I also think that perhaps that was that celebration was 101 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: probably two little underlying things. They're one, the pressure that's 102 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: built up on that team that they haven't been able 103 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: to score. And look, we were at the game and 104 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: we're with the two US and the pricious safe. 105 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: Actually there was t people everywhere there love that. 106 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: We spoke about how many chances we had in that 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: first half, and that seems to be our issue we 108 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: just can't convert. So I'm assuming that part of that 109 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: celebration was a little bit of relief that we found 110 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: the back of the net. Yeah, maybe, you know, indirectly, 111 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: but we found it. And the second thing was, you 112 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: know that it's a Friday night in front of forty 113 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: thousand people in Sydney. It was a great atmosphere. I'd 114 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: want to celebrate absolutely, you know what I mean, Like, 115 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: I feel like the vibe was there, the atmosphere deserved 116 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: a celebration. 117 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Can we also discuss Sam Kerr at the game? I 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: know we say we don't want to keep talking about 119 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: Sam ker thing because it's been overly spoken about, but 120 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: it was so lovely to see that true Matilda's fans. 121 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: Every time she was on screen, they were erupting. 122 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: And leading up to the match, there'd been some pundits 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: saying that she should be stripped of the captain cy. 124 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: FA should just take control and remove it from the captaincy. 125 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: So the vibe at the ground was one that said 126 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: it felt that the crowd was saying she's our captain. 127 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah they and we can't wait to see her back. 128 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: It was quite a vocal show of support, wasn't it. 129 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: It was really cool. 130 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: Back to the game, Career pushed for the equalizer late 131 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: in the game, teag and Micah was forced into a 132 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: pair of saves after consecutive horners, the most impressive, which 133 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: came after shinn at Nate Jong's head out looked destined 134 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: to finish in the modern corner. 135 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: However, the Tillies we're able to hold on for the 136 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 1: clean sheet and the win. She was good to you, michaeh. 137 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of really really clutch saves. They play again. 138 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: We recording this on Mondays.

That's a solid margin for a Grand Final rematch, 144 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: isn't it. It was the Vixens who settled into the 145 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: flow of the game, quicker twice opening up a two 146 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: goal lead, and twice the Thunderbirds were able to claw 147 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: back the margin to take a sixteen to thirteen lead 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: into the first break. That momentum continued into the second 149 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: as the host piled on twenty one goals to ten, 150 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: including a run of nine straight goals in a five 151 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,559 Speaker 1: minute period which also included a perfect we love these 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: twenty five from twenty five to a Meloda eightken George 153 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: at halftime, he's good at that she stood at one 154 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: hundred percent is actually perfect. While the Vixens were sloppy, 155 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: the Thunderbirds were ruthless, showing no mercy for their rivals. 156 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Thunderbirds leading by fourteen goals with one quarter to play. 157 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: Raining SSN Player of the Year Georgie Horges shot two 158 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: super shots in the final quarter in combination with Lucy Austen, 159 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: who made the most of her opportunity with ten goals 160 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: from eleven attempts, as the host skipped away to a 161 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: convincing round one victory.

I haven't watched all of it yet. 187 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: I've watched highlights, which there were many of. The Queenslanders 188 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: needed just five minutes to open their account, with Rolla 189 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: Crease fighting her way over from close range. The Reds 190 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: would score five more times in the first half, leading 191 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: at halftime forty two to five. 192 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: I saw that score. 193 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: And I was like great. If we were playing the. 194 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: Reds next week, that's all over, yes, but with nothing 195 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: to lose. The Fijians, as they tend to play with 196 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: that When they play with that freedom, they are very 197 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: hard to play against. They absolutely had a crack and 198 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: they started scoring, and they started scoring quickly. 199 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: They can do that. 200 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they got I believe they got with in. 201 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: I think it got to forty to forty seven, forty 202 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: seven forty the redisdent front by one converted try at 203 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 2: one point. 204 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: That's pretty wild, isn't it. 205 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: That's very close. 206 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: So they didn't quite pull off the miracle though, with 207 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: Ivagapani and Charlie Jacobe pinching back crucial momentum, stopping tries 208 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: with fifteen and five minutes remaining to seal the Red's 209 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: Grand Final birth. Meanwhile, in the more better state, the 210 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: Wartars had jumped the fourth early with three tries. I 211 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: think we're up about nineteen nil after twenty minutes, but 212 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: the force, to their credit, came back. We had a 213 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: pretty serious injury when we're up nineteen nil nineteen seven, 214 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: nineteen five, I think, and unfortunately, I think the injury 215 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: to lay Learning Nathan our blindside Flanka took a bit 216 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: of air out of the team. 217 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: It's a tough one in your. 218 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Watcher mate stretched off as well in that space. Yeah, 219 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: it's looking like an acl for Paul Lance. Oh god. 220 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, so nineteen twelve at the break and look, 221 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: it was very much anyone's game at that point. But yeah, 222 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: the girls really responded well. We spoke about some simple 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: things in the sheds and they took them out onto 224 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: the field and g Fred finished with the hat trick. 225 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: I think it was the first ever hat trick, right, Yeah, 226 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: so that's pretty exciting. She scores plenty of tries but 227 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: never threw them on the one match apparently. And the 228 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: final score, as we said, was fifty four to seventeen. 229 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: And we will be playing the Reds in the Grand 230 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: Final next Saturday and no signioval. 231 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Can't wait get there.

So, unlike the national teams from other countries, 428 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy five team was not chosen through a 429 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: national selection process organized by its governing body. Instead, all 430 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: but two of the players came from the same club, 431 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: Saint George Budapest, who throughout the early nineteen seventies were 432 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: one of the most successful women's club teams in New 433 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: South Wales. At the time, women's soccer in Australia was 434 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: run by the Australian Women's Soccer Association the AWSA, but 435 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: they didn't have the authority to sanction any international activity 436 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: in terms of overseas competitions. Instead, that power fell to 437 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: the Australian Soccer Federation the aff the governing body who 438 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: separately ran the men's game and didn't really have a 439 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: lot to the women to do with the women's game. 440 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: So in the Asian Ladies' Football Confederation the ALFC reached 441 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: out to Australia in nineteen seventy four to participate in 442 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: their Hong Kong tournament the following year. The invitation was 443 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: first received by the AWSA, not the ASF meaning they 444 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: were not formally recognized as the first Matildas. So for 445 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: the past five years, members of the nineteen seventy five 446 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: team have publicly been campaigning for formal recognition as the 447 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: first official Matildas and Bez You and I were actually 448 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: part of a day with Puma where Puma recognized them 449 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: over at Cockatoo Island. 450 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 2: Was a pretty epic day. We got a boat over 451 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 2: with a few of them and they ran an event there. 452 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: And yet speaking to the players, you understood that in 453 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: their mind they were absolutely Matildas, and a lot of 454 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: them spoke to the point that they were ignored by 455 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: the governing body at that time, and so they took 456 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: matters into their own hands and they fundraised themselves. This 457 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: is not something that you know, going to Hong Kong 458 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: at that time was not cheap. They did all of 459 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: that themselves and whilst they wore they represented Australia, as 460 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: you said, because that wasn't sanctioned, they weren't recognized as 461 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 2: the first ever Matilda's. 462 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: And we had a couple of years, I think in 463 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Football Australia had a panel of experts 464 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: who went through a lengthy review process and decided that 465 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: they weren't to be recognized, but it's actually now been 466 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: flipped in twenty twenty five, there's been a separate review 467 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: process and Football Australia have formally acknowledged the nineteen seventy 468 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: five team with a international caps numbered zero one, signifying 469 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: their foundational role in Australian women's football history. So the 470 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: group of experts that judged this looked at the following criteria, 471 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: so there were official records of saying that the matches 472 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: were organized and approved International Games, uniforms and insignia, so 473 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: saying that they were wearing Australian uniforms while they're playing, 474 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: although granted that I think they were wearing hand me 475 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: down soccerose jerseys while they were over there, I believe. 476 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: So player eligibility ensuring that players were eligible to present 477 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: Australia at the international level, continuity in establishing a clear 478 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: line of continuity between the nineteen seventy five team and 479 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: subsequent recognized national teams, and then public perception and media 480 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: coverage assessing the recognition and portrayal of the team in 481 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: media and public perception at the time. 482 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: So after careful assessment, it was determined that nineteen seventy 483 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: five team met all those necessary criteria set out. The 484 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: team played against recognized national teams. They wore the green 485 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: and gold with the Australian Coat of Arms emblem, and 486 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: they compromised players who were They didn't. 487 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: Even compromise, that's definitely the wrong word. 488 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: They and they comprised players who were eligible to represent 489 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: Australia at the international level. The history books will now 490 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: show that the first trained women's national team captain was 491 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: Pat O'Connor, the first Australian women's national team coach so O'Connor, 492 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: and the first Indigenous Matilda Auntie Terita Avonne Peters Stacy Tracy. 493 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: They had a nickname, Stacy Tracy. 494 00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 3: Love that. 495 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: I like that tventy five Australian women's national team will 496 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: be recognized as the first Matilda's. It is a tough 497 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: one and I do hear the debate around both sides 498 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: of the story. And I think, like all people, when 499 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: I heard about this, firstly, when we met all these 500 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: and look, they're amazing women, and I love that they're 501 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: fighting for I love that, you know, if we want 502 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: to be real about it, Pimmer were celebrated them leading 503 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: into the World Cup here in twenty twenty three. And 504 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: you know the reality is that those players that played 505 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: in that World Cup, they're standing on the shoulders of 506 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: women like that. Those women fought long and hard to 507 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: be recognized. And as I was saying, I think you 508 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: do kind of relate back to your experiences when you 509 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: see things like this. And we as a club, as 510 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: a Ringer Rats club, we sent women's sevens team to 511 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: Hong Kong sevens for three years, completely self funded, self fundraised. 512 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: We ended up calling ourselves Ossie Rats because Ustralian rugby 513 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: would not send teams over there. Wow, we lost three 514 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 2: finals in our own to New Zealand, who did send 515 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: sevens teams over there, but a very similar thing. You know, 516 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 2: obviously they're not cap We played as the Oussie Rats. 517 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: As I said, we've kind of played in Green and 518 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: Gold with a rat on us. But yeah, for me, 519 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: sounds quite relatable. It was literally our governing body said 520 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: not interested. We're not going to spend the money, we're 521 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 2: not investing. We don't see you know, the future in it. 522 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: And there was a group of people led by Brodny Macintosh, 523 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 2: it said absolutely not we're going to do this ourselves, 524 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: and I imagine that's probably a similar experience for these players. 525 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: That's a very interesting I didn't yeah, I hadn't thought 526 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: about it in that context. I feel like it's a 527 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: very similar parallel. I think, what's so tricky? Like you said, 528 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: it's complicated, And the more I read about it, the 529 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: more I understand why there are two very strong sides 530 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: to the story, because you have people like Julie Dolan, 531 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: who was I guess previously the first captain of the 532 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: Matildas and that title has now been taken from her 533 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: campaign quite heavily to say no, this shouldn't be the case. 534 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: And then similar with the first Indigenous Matilda, the player 535 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: who previously held that title that's now been taken from her. 536 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: So I completely respect and understand those players' positions. And 537 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: obviously we're just reading the information I think that's publicly available, 538 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: so that I'm sure there's a lot more ins and 539 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: outs to it. But I think probably to your point, 540 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: these women who who've gone and done this were operating 541 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: within the structures or lack of structures that actually existed 542 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: for women's football at that time. It was not the 543 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: fault of those women that there wasn't a trial process 544 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: available for women to represent their country and play football. 545 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Off the back of that, we then saw the matildas developed. 546 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 3: So and that's a really good point. 547 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: You know. 548 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: If you look at those nineteen seventy. 549 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: Five players, they were probably the catalyst for the governing 550 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 2: body to be like, okay, we've got to do something here. 551 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Mm hm, and look at the matildas. 552 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: Now weow we wow. 553 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: We let's say look at what to watch. 554 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: Qualifiers The Billy je and King Cup kick off this weekend. 555 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: Australius had to take on Kazikstam and Columbia.
