Perarably, the second camera was just pointed 46 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: at the ground often and things like this. The color 47 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: saturation issues made Perth look like they were in bright pink. 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: But my group chat was so confused, why are they 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: in pink? Why are they in pink? 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: Numerous dropouts of the broadcast and ads running while the 51 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: game was being played. The WNBL addressed concerns on their 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: Twitter accounts, saying we apologize to our fans, clubs, and 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: players the technical diffidence experienced during the broadcasts of our 54 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: first w NBL game last night. A production partner, JAMTV, 55 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: have acknowledged that what was provided by their technical supply 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: it was not acceptable and have sought in receive assurances 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: that it will be rectified. I believe it got a 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 2: little better over the weekend, but not a whole heap. 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: Still some improvements that need to be made. 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: The action on the court was not subpar, however, and 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: LJ continued the Goat comeback tour? Can we we need 62 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: to make some money? 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: Sure goats would struggle to shoot a basketball? Well what 64 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: they have? Why do I It's not a crab, it's 65 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: more hoovery like this? 66 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: Would we say, yeah, Well, there's just no finger, that's right. 67 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: So Aljo's back. Solid performance for the South Side Flyers. 68 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: They won ninety nine to ninety one over the Adelaide Lightning. 69 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 2: Cali Thornton was named player of the game, leading the 70 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: scoring with twenty one points, shooting sixty one point five 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: percent from the field and also added eight rebounds. 72 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: Also shout out to my Matelaus Nicholson for the Towns 73 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: will fire thirty five points. Alas how good Twitter in 74 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: the opals in sports broadcasting news, We're going to call 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: it the first ever network to focus on female athletes. 76 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: The Women's Sport Network launched last week in the USA, 77 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: offering twenty four to seven streaming of original programming, competitions, documentaries, 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: and a daily studio show called Game on Fast Studios. 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: The developers of the channel are led by AD Executive 80 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: CEO Stuart McLain. McLain said in a press release, as 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: we have seen repeatedly women's sports don't get the coverage 82 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: they deserve. We have an opportunity to leverage the new 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: Fast landscape to become a part of the solution at 84 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: the Women's Sports Network. Women's sports are prime time all 85 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: the time. I love that, love it. 86 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: That's cool. Another T shirt Primetime all the time. 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: We've been listening to athletes, fans and our incredible league partners, 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: and we know there is a tremendous need for a 89 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: network that is committed to women's sports coverage, storytelling and content. 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: It has partnerships with the WNBA Women's Football Alliance, Ladies 91 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: Professional Golf Association, US Ski and Snowboards, Sports Innovation Lab, 92 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: and the World Surf League, among many others, which is 93 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: great because those partnerships are hopefully going to allow broadcasts 94 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: of live sporting events. Angela Rugerio is the CEO and 95 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: co founder of Sports Innovation Lab and is a four 96 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: time ice hockey Olympian. She also sits on the board 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: of advisors for the new network and noted there's a 98 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: pent up demand for women's sports, but women's sports typically 99 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: go underinvested, undersupported, underviewed because the ecosystem underneath it hasn't 100 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: really been built. Ah. I love these quotes. They just 101 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: film me. They fill me up. Every men's league has 102 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: had decades of a jump start on the traditional women's leagues. 103 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: These women's sports properties are still fairly early in their 104 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: life cycle, and anything early in its life cycle requires 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: more investment to build the brand, to build awareness, to 106 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: build the audience, to build the platform. And it's on 107 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: the business side, not just the performance side. Oh Angela 108 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: or a legend. I new you're from just watching watching me. 109 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: I was reading the article last night and I was like, 110 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: this is a bit of a long quote. 111 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: You know, we don't. I don't love just reading out 112 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: quotes for Baden, but I couldn't leave any of it out. 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: None of it. None of it needs big cut. 114 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: That episode's done. We're done. 115 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: Great, you're listening. We've solved women's. 116 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: Sport invest back to the A recent study conducted by 117 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: the National Research Group and am Perry Analysis recorded that 118 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: thirty nine percent of gen zs are watching more women's 119 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: sport than they were a year ago, along with twenty 120 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: nine percent of millennials. But the study did find that 121 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: one hundred that their hurdles remain high. Seventy nine percent 122 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: of US sports fans still claim to not actively follow 123 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: women's sports. Meanwhile, seventy four percent of fans cannot name 124 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: a single corporate sponsor of any women's league. Again, this 125 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: is just because it's not out there. I don't think 126 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: it's a choice thing. Tructional networks have put little effort 127 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: into remoting women's sports, with the study finding that US 128 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: broadcast networks spent zero point two percent, zero point two 129 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 2: percent of media rights budgets on women's only sporting events. 130 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: You want to read that again, zero point two percent, 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: not even two percent, No. 132 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: Zero point two percent. That's like, that number is tiny. 133 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: And they wonder why the numbers are like that. 134 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: The new network will be looking to fill some of 135 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: that gap in the marketplace, and WNBA champ and Raining 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: MVP Asia Wilson said the launch of the Women's Sports 137 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: Network is a huge and long awaited win for female 138 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: athletes and fans of women's sports. The numbers don't like. 139 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: We know that fans want to see more women's sport 140 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: and the Women's Sports Network creates a unique platform for 141 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: our fans to connect with the sports they love in 142 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: ways they haven't been available to us as female athletes. 143 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: We had a chat to her, Asia Wilson at the 144 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Basket World I never uploaded the video to do list. 145 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: It'll get everyone to do list. 146 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: Highlight in marathon, the Women's Health Athlete of the Year 147 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Madison Dirazario, has finished third in the New York City 148 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: Marathon on Monday morning. She finished three minutes behind American 149 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: Suzanna Escaroni, who won gold in the T fifty four 150 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: five thousand meters in Tokyo. It was a huge effort 151 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: to secure another podium finish after taking home the win 152 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: last year, and the American Susanna actually broke the New 153 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: York Marathon record. 154 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: So good, so good. 155 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: There's such impressive athletes in AFLW. Week one of the 156 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: finals did not disappoint. On Friday night, the Melbourn Demons 157 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: were impressive in their twenty one point win over the 158 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Adelaide Crows. The grand final rematch from last season started 159 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: in similar fashion with the Crows jumping out to an 160 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: early lead. There was a little bit of history made 161 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: when Daniel Ponta kicked a goal in the first nineteen seconds, 162 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: the fastest goal ever in AFLW. The Demons were able 163 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: to refocus and work their way back into the contest, 164 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: keeping the Crows scoreless in the second quarter. Sarah Lampard 165 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: kicked two goals and Taylor Harris was excellent in the 166 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: ruck all night. It's been a new role for her 167 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: this season. 168 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching the game really impressed with Taylor's 169 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: work in the ruck. 170 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: I think it very much suits her athletic capabilities. 171 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: And she's also not afraid of a contest, exactly that 172 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: combative kind of I'm going to jump into you and 173 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: deal with it. 174 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: It suits her playing style. 175 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: I love it. 176 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: What on te The seven six forty eight to four 177 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: goal three twenty seven results secures the Demon's place in 178 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: the prelim final and a week off. Well. Adelaide will 179 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: host Collingwood only Oval on Saturday and the D's would 180 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: have been pretty stoked to get a bit of revenge 181 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: in that one. 182 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: It was tight until the end, A great, a great 183 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: game of footy. 184 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 185 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: Saturday's early game between the Brisbane Lines and the Richmond 186 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 2: Tigers was probably a tighter match in the scoreboard ended 187 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: up showing the Lions had a huge second quarter which 188 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: proved the difference in the end. The final score was 189 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: five goals nine thirty nine to three goals four to 190 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: twenty two. So the Lions, who once again showed they're 191 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: just elite at bring pressure around the ball. Yes, Katie 192 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 2: Brennan was impressive for the Tigers, kicking all three of 193 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: Richmond's goals despite limited supply. The Lions will enjoy the 194 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: week off and the Tigers will face North Melbourne at 195 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: the Swinburn Center aka Punt Road on Saturdays. 196 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: About this, you're a bit mad about it, rightfully, So. 197 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't understand. I just don't understand. So there's already 198 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: plenty of chat around that choice of venue. Punt Road 199 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: currently has a limited capacity of two thousand people. North 200 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: Melbourne and the Tigers played just last week in the 201 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 2: final game of the regular season at Arden Street, the 202 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: Cagers home ground, and there were three thousand and one 203 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: and forty seven people there for a non finals match, 204 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 2: So you're talking about eleven hundred people already missing out. 205 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense that semi final between those 206 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: two teams would be played at that venue. 207 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: There's going to be higher demand for a semi final 208 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: between those teams and it's a great commercial opportunity for 209 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: finals footy. 210 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: And then interestingly, there is also a scheduling issue for 211 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: the afl W on Saturday, with the Matilda's playing Sweden 212 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: at Amy Park that same AVO. The AFLW bounces one 213 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: forty and with the Matilda's kicking off at two forty five, 214 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: it seems like the sporting capital of the Galaxy may 215 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: have missed an opportunity here. 216 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: We can we talk about that we got Sydney got 217 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: so slammed. 218 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what I've realized is that obviously your profile 219 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 2: is way too Melbourne centric with this whole AFL thing, 220 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: and that's all it is. 221 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: She can't admit defeat. 222 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: No, it's just our followers who we love dearly. But 223 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: they're obviously from Mexico, so healthy, so healthy, and honestly 224 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: we had a quick chat before recording, and it is 225 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: you know, there's also strange that both semi finals this 226 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: weekend are afternoon kickoffs, so no one in primetime. I 227 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: just don't understand the reasoning the aflw've come up with 228 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: here that you'd kick that you'd bounce off at one 229 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: for Matilda's a king off at two forty five, like 230 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: for me kick the tin you know higher out Eddie 231 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: had five point thirty bounce off. I keep saying bunce 232 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: off just to annoy you. Five thirty bounce right. Anyone 233 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: with a Matilda's ticket you get in free. Yeah, I 234 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: get a sporting afternoon. 235 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: I really liked the idea of a women's sport fest 236 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: where it's not just multiple games of the same sport 237 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: in a row. I think you've got to have tickets 238 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: to multiple different events. 239 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: Pub crabably away from Amy Park to Eddie had perfect, 240 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: we would have I would have flown down for it. 241 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: Once again, we've sold women's sport. On this week's episode, 242 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: Back to Footy. The second match on Saturday between North 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Melbourne and Gelong was about The Cats were dominant everywhere 244 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: except for on the scoreboard and Shelly Scott had a 245 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: chance with ninety seconds on the clock to get the win. 246 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: It was a difficult set shot that she missed, bringing 247 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: a very sad end to the season for Geelong. I 248 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: really was hoping they were going to get up doing 249 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: that match. The pressure around the contest meant it was 250 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: a pretty scrappy affair, but in an enthralling game that 251 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: the kang has won two goals for sixteen to one 252 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: goal eight fourteen. And the last match of the weekend, 253 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: the Collingwood Magpies withstood a desperate Western Bulldog's rally, holding 254 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: on to get the win by five points. The sold 255 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: up sign went up at Victoria Park the morning of 256 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: the match and the Magpie started fast in front of 257 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: their home fans. They went into the halftime break fifteen 258 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: points up and looking dominant, and the Bulldogs were not 259 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: about to lie down and through everything at Collingwood in 260 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: the final quarter, kicking two goals in the final seven minutes, 261 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: but ultimately it wasn't enough and the Pies were not 262 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: made to regret their wayward kicking in the five goal 263 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: ten forty to five goal five thirty five. I'm going 264 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: to say colin would have scraped by a few wins 265 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: and their inaccuracy has almost cost them. I think it's 266 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: probably going to come back to buy them pretty soon 267 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: come finals time against a strong opposition. Sorry, Colinwood. Nineteen 268 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: year old piss forward Eliza James had the game of 269 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: her life, draining four goals. In the process, she became 270 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: the first AFOW player to kick four snags in a final. 271 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: Good on her good honored in rugby union. Obviously there's 272 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: no Australian team left in this World Cup, sadly, but 273 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: it's half my podcast and I love rugby and it 274 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: was too amazing. Will we say half Well? 275 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: To be honest, it's probably more than half because you 276 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: contribute more research. I rock up and talk. 277 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: This is a good point. It was just two amazing 278 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: games of rugby union. If you've got stan sport, do 279 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: you self a favor watch these games of rugby. There 280 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: is exceptional quality, aren't they Just really good quality? At 281 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: the gym this morning telling all the boys to watch it. 282 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 2: They're going to put it on in the middle of 283 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 2: the day, right right anyway, Semi finals on the weekend 284 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: and as I said, two really good games of rabby union. 285 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: The first match of the world number one. English team 286 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: earned their place in the final with a twenty six 287 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 2: to nineteen win over Canada, which stretched its world record 288 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 2: winning streak to thirty tests. Canada had a huge opportunity 289 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: in the fiftieth minute to go ahead. They were just 290 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: hammering the pom's line. England not only held on, they 291 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: secured a turnover, passed it back into their goal and 292 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: ran one hundred and ten meters to score a try. 293 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: Abby Dow scored in the corner and that length of 294 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: the field try took the score out to twenty three 295 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: to twelve and the Canadians, look, they kept fighting, but 296 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: that really was a huge momentum swing. You know, if 297 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: Canada had a score at that point they would have 298 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: gone in front. So big, big effort from Canada who 299 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: you know again, it's not I first really believe this one. 300 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: It's not the first time that this has been brought 301 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: up at this at this Rugby World Cup. So they 302 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: Sophie de Goody, great name, their number eight captain said 303 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: after the game. So obviously they had to resort to 304 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: a GoFundMe to get their Canada. They got some funding 305 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: from Canadian Rugby but wasn't enough, so they go they 306 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: funded themselves. Wow, So sopha good he said. To good 307 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: he said after the game, I just think what we 308 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: could do with more games and more resources. Again a 309 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: pretty familiar meant. The Black Ferns sealed a dream home 310 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: World Cup final appearance with another exciting comeback against France. 311 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: They were down seventeen ten at halftime, but second half 312 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: tries to ruby To and Theresa Fitzpatrick helped New Zealand 313 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: to a twenty five twenty four win. France scored late 314 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: to get within one point with fourteen minutes to play, 315 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: and French fly half Carolina drew and had a chance 316 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: to win the game with only second on the clock 317 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: when they were awarded a penalty about thirty meters out. 318 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: It was pretty much in frontige maybe just to the. 319 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: Right, just outside. Oh I feel sad sheild it. 320 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: She did hook it now. 321 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: But what I do love and what was what the 322 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: French captain said in the postgame press conference, is that 323 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: a kick shouldn't win you the game. You should have 324 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: already if you deserved to win the game, you should 325 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: have won it before having the pressure on the kicker. 326 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. But it still does come down to them, 327 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: and that's sad, but it's just the way it is. 328 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: Both both all for post match or all postmatch interviews 329 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: so emotional, emotional. 330 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: I actually got tiary watching them because New Zealand captain, 331 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: the coach as well French captain talked about not just 332 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: the game. It wasn't really that much about the game. 333 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: It was about the crowds that were there supporting women 334 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: and women's rugby, and I just had this moment of 335 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: watching them and I felt emotional because I just thought 336 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: these women may have grown up wanting to represent their country, 337 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: have probably been told you don't have the opportunity to 338 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: do that, or no one wants to watch you, it's 339 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: not worth supporting. So for them to play such high 340 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: quality rugby in front of tens of thousands of fans 341 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: who've shown up every single week of this World Cup. 342 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: It must feel amazing. 343 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: It is amazing and I think, regardless of what happens 344 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: next weekends, it has been a huge success. I reckon 345 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: thus Cleena Park they I really hope they will. They will, 346 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: they will hearty. 347 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: First in Rugby League, the Jills posted a convincing first 348 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: up win over the cook Islands seventy four nil. Fullback 349 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: Sam Bremna was untouchable, scoring four tries and making meters 350 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: at will in the wet conditions. She was named Player 351 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: of the match and it was an exceptional return to 352 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: the Jillarus after she missed the twenty seventeen World Cup 353 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: through injury. After the match, Bremna spoke about how seeing 354 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: her being described in the papers as former Jilaru Sam 355 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Bremner stung. She missed the twenty twenty one NLW season 356 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: after having her second child, and when asked about her 357 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: comeback after the game, said I would just think I'm 358 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: having a baby. I haven't quit. I'll let you know 359 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: when I've retired. I knew I could do two things 360 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: about it. Instead of winging, I could either work my 361 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: butt off to get back in a position where people 362 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't call me a former Jillarroux anymore, or I could 363 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: accept the fact that I was a former jillarrou on 364 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: other people's terms and just get over it. I chose 365 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: to fight my way back into these colors, and I'm 366 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: happy that I did. Another exceptional quote. You've done a 367 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: great job this week. You said you're a bit dusty, 368 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: but I think you've done really well. Best. 369 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 2: Look, all I'm doing is sharing the stories of exceptional 370 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: female athletes. 371 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: That's what we're here for. 372 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: And administrators and rich people that own women's sports networks. 373 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: Great, we love that. 374 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 2: Mucher than us. I don't know how rich. They are, 375 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: definitely richer than us. 376 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: I'd say so. Thozzi's second pool match against France was 377 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: played early on Monday morning. It was another huge win 378 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: for the Jillroes, with Jess Sir just grabbing four tries 379 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: in the ninety two to Neil thrashing. It was the 380 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: Juillers biggest win in their history, eclipsing the eighty eight 381 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: nil victory over Canada at the twenty seventeen World Cup. 382 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: There's been some questions raised over the eighty minute games 383 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: being played at the World Cup given Outside of Australia, 384 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: New Zealand and England, rugby league is still very much 385 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: a developing sport. The duration of NLW matches has gradually 386 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: risen over the years, and right now it's at seventy minutes, 387 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: up from sixty minutes last season, and the UK Super 388 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: League matches run for the full eighty but many women's 389 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: competition of the rest of the world can run for 390 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: sixty minutes or less. There have been a number of 391 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: studies that show the number of injuries increase sharply in 392 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: the final minutes of each half when fatigue is at 393 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: its highest, and for these developing league nations those additional 394 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: ten minutes on each half must feel like a very 395 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: long ten minutes. It's an interesting discussion match lengths and 396 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: whether they should be the same length as the men's 397 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: matches given them. Men are professional, full time athletes, and 398 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: many of the women at the World Cup are true amateurs. 399 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: I think that's the key for me. Yes, you know, 400 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 2: we use the word of quality a lot, and yes 401 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: we want a quality, but the reality is sometimes you 402 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 2: know you couldn't you wouldn't be able to compare the 403 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: preparation between a men's and a women's team at this 404 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 2: World Cup, So why they're playing the same amount of minutes. 405 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's this tricky one where people like, 406 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: well you want a quality here it is and it's like, 407 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just this copy and paste type format. 408 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: And it's probably a great example of the stark difference 409 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: in the teams to the bottom teams. If they're having 410 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: these ninety two nil and what seventy four nil victories 411 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: over teams, like there's something going on there where there's 412 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: a big difference. It's not NERLW competition where the teams 413 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: have been professional semi professional for a couple of years 414 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: now and it's good standard and the players are getting 415 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: fitter over time. They're playing against girls, as you said, 416 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: true amateurs. 417 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: True amateurs. Yeah. I think the Cook Island's coach said that, 418 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: you know, some of the girls literally met each other 419 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: last week kind of thing. True true amateurs. In cricket, 420 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: on Sunday, the Perth Scotes hosted the Adelaide Strikers in 421 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: the first match of the WBBL First Nations Round Sydney's 422 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: under All Round at Hannah Dallington and Camillroy. Woman said 423 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: the First Nations Round was really special last year. As 424 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: a proud Indigenous woman, it was really awesome to see 425 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: the culture brought to life. I'm really hoping it continues 426 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: on and gets even bigger. It has a role to 427 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: play in education. Sport is a massive thing in Australia 428 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: and using our platform not only as athletes but as 429 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: sport in general is really awesome. It was the Adelaide 430 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: Strikers who got the win in the match, with DeAndre 431 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 2: Dotton smacking a fifty one ball sixty eight to help 432 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: the Strikers reel in their target of one hundred and 433 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 2: twenty with four overs to spare. The damage was done 434 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: in the first inning though, when Meghan Shoot put on 435 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: a clinic taking four for twenty which helped restrict the 436 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: scorches to nine FO one hundred and nineteen. The victory 437 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 2: took the Strikers to second on the ladder, behind the 438 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: Sydney Sixers, who were still in first with a superior 439 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: run rate. The six Is secured BAK bragging rights in 440 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 2: the Sydney Smash with a fifteen run win over the 441 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: Sydney thunder Ut Last week, all around at Ashgardner top 442 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: scored with fifty three and took three for twenty two 443 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: in a pretty dominant performance. Alyssi here he was looking 444 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: for another big score and provided valuable support to Gardener, 445 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: adding twenty two runs before falling to Hannah Darlington. 446 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story. More cricket News. 447 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: The Western Australian Cricket Association, the Whacker is currently undergoing 448 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar ground redevelopment. As part of the changes, 449 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: there are plans for three statues to be erected recognizing 450 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: those from Western Australia who sparked significant change. Fast bawler 451 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: Dennis Lilly was chosen for his impact on the game. 452 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: A statue of a team of First Nations players from 453 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: New Norsea were known as the Invincibles and had a 454 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: string of victories from eighteen seventy nine through to eighteen 455 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: eighty three when they beat almost every team they played. 456 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: So amazing the Invincibles. 457 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: The third statue will be of female cricketer Zoe Goss. 458 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: This is I love this story. Goss played twelve Tests 459 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: and sixty five One Day Internationals for the Australian team 460 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: between nineteen eighty seven and two thousand. She's probably most 461 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: known though, for her performance in a nineteen ninety four 462 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: exhibition match between Bradman eleven and World eleven. In the match, 463 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: she took two wickets, one of them being the wicket 464 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 1: of one of the world's greatest batters, Brian Lara. That 465 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: moment shot a light on women's cricket and signaled a 466 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: massive change in the tension in the intention of the game. 467 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: Goss recently said, it's interesting I still have a platform. 468 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 2: I think. I guess it shows the significance of that day. 469 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 2: I remember seeing it. I watched it and it was epic. 470 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: She think the photos of her they used to play 471 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: skirts all on from. 472 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: That, the photos her in a skirt, isn't it. 473 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: I've always she said. She went on to say, I've 474 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: always been intrigued about how amazing that night was and 475 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: how long it lasted, because I honestly thought it was 476 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: just my fifteen minutes of fame and then I'd move 477 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 2: on with my life. But here I am. Lara was 478 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: really lovely. He didn't say much on the night, but 479 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 2: I think he said in the press later that his 480 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: sister used to get him out all the time, so 481 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: he was used to it. I love that on your 482 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: Brian Goss was humbled when contacted by Whacker boss Christina 483 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 2: Matthews and told about the plans to immortalize her in 484 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: statue form. She noted, I think it impacted women in 485 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: sport overall and women in general. Everywhere I went, all 486 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: ages of women just went good on you. It had 487 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: a social impact which at the time I wasn't aware 488 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: of As an organization. This is a great opportunity for 489 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: the Whacker to engage in society in a richer way. 490 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: The artworks acknowledged the past make a really strong signal 491 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: of who we want to be in the future. 492 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: To finish the story off, I'm really mad about this part. Unfortunately, 493 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the decision has caused drama at the board level, with 494 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: former Test cricketers Graham Wood and Michael Valletta resigning from 495 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: the Whacker board after disagreeing with the plans for the 496 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: statue of Goss. Wood was quoted in The Western in 497 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: the West Australian as saying, right up front, I was 498 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: vehemently against it. Would and the Letta describe the debate 499 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: about who to honor was a distraction from the whackers 500 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar ground updates upgrades. 501 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: It was that distraction thing, like it's always you know, 502 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 2: like casually misogynistic. Oh look, it's just a distraction. Why 503 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: are we worried about it. We've got bigger things to 504 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 2: worry about. 505 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: For a woman and a First Nations team to be celebrated, 506 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: it's called it a distraction. The level of disrespect is overwhelming, terrible. 507 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: It's actually overwhelming. And I love what Zoe Goss said 508 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: in response to it. She said, what I'd like to 509 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: say to the men who are not comfortable with this. 510 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: The statues in no way diminish anything that the amazing 511 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: male players have done. It's simply a sharing of space 512 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: of our stories. We can coexist. It's not one or 513 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: the other. There's space for everyone. She summed that up 514 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: so much better than I could have. I'm almost knocking 515 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: over my mug. I'm angry. 516 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: It's not a pie. 517 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: It's not a pie. 518 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: It's not a pie. 519 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: There's enough to share. 520 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: There's enough for everyone, guys, there's enough for everyone. 521 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: We need to move on because I'm mad.
