I'm stoked. I'm well, 25 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: I am kind of so because I'll get into this Ferson, 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: and then I'll tell my little backstory. The undefeated Sydney 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Roosters were rolled on Sunday by the Paramatta Eels, who 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: had won only one match during the season. That result 29 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: in the semi final means the defending champions of Roosters 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: will not play in the Grand Final next weekend. Rough 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: what did I say on the show last week? 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: You said on the show last week, Well, it doesn't 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: matter if you finished first and the team that finishes 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: fourth has only won one match. If you can't beat them, 35 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: you don't deserve to be in the grand final. 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: It's almost verbatim. That was quite good times, that's very true. 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: So I ran into some friends who play for the 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: Paramount Eels, Brook Anderson, Tianna Pennattani and Gail Broughton, who's 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: come across from New Zealand rugby sevens, and they were 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: like they were feeling pretty good about the game, but 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: aware of how good the Roosters have been for a 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: little while now. I'm so stoked for them that they 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: went there and did that. 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 45 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: Huge, huge. It was the Eels halves Ashley Quinlan and 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: Taylor Preston who outplayed the Roosters and were instrumental in 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: helping their team to a twenty four to ten victory. 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: The Roosters went into the match averaging more than thirty 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: points per game, but could only manage a single try 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: in the opening sixty five minutes, and that came from 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: a lucky bounce. There are a few uncharacteristic mistakes like 52 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: Isabell Kelly dropping the ball cold with the line wide 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: open that really seemed to hurt them. Do we think 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: it was a nerves thing or do we think it 55 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: was a complacency kind of thing. You can never put 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: your finger on it if you're not part of that environment. 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: No, and if you could, you'd be able to solve 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: world peace. I think it was they just they weren't there. 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: They weren't there, and Para were. 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: I did feel like Para they're on the arp ma 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: are you just like jumping. 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: On the tickets? 63 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: Please? 64 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: Who wants a ticket to the Para bandwagon is on 65 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: driving the bus. 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm driving the bus, guys. I've been here all along. 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: Eel's captain Samima Tafa was her damaging self, carrying for 68 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three meters and making thirty three tackles. 69 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: It's a lot of tackles. She had a nervous well, 70 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: she has a nervous few days ahead of her after 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: she got put on report for a hip drop tackle 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: on Sarah Togatuki. The skipper will be hoping to avoid 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: a suspension so she can take part in what might 74 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: be a history making day. The Para men's team are 75 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: also in the Grand Final and they have the chance 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: to become the first club in history to win both 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: the NLW and NRL titles in the same season. That 78 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: would be pretty cool, pretty cool. I'm absolutely driving the bus, 79 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: Tafa said after the match. To see our. 80 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: Boys Stewart para hat little bus drive. 81 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: I need to merch, t'afa said after the match. To 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: see our boys do it and do it the way 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: they did it helped us in a way with striving 84 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: to be there and having a carrot there dangling in 85 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: front of our eyes. We're going to represent Western Sydney 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to do it loud and proud. Their 87 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: opponents will be last season's wooden Spooners, the Newcastle Knight, 88 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: who had a couple of big off season signings and 89 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: used cash to bring some talent, which I don't mind 90 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: in women's sport or for it. You do what you 91 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: need to do. The recruits, Millie Boyle and Tamika Upton 92 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: showed they were worth every single cent on Sunday in 93 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: the thirty to six win over Saint George Dragons. Millie 94 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: Boyle's try she sent people flying. 95 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: It was amazing. 96 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: It was amazing, Like she hit this like she hit 97 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: this gap and went running through and then like bumped someone, 98 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: fended off another player and then just charged over the 99 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: try line. 100 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: It's pretty warm up there and Brizzy I think it 101 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: was up close to thirty degrees. She played the whole 102 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: first half. 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's impressive. 104 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 2: As a front rower, she did very well. 105 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: The Grand Final match means there'll be a new name 106 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: on the trophy come Sunday afternoon. I don't mind that. 107 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: And who you're tipping shots, I know you know what 108 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to say. If I'm looking at it realistically, 109 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: the Knights probably should win I don't mind an underdog though. 110 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: In basketball, I'm not letting it get away with that. 111 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: She's been on every single all six of the teams 112 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: at some point during the season. 113 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: That's very true. I've jumped between. 114 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: All of them in at basketball. How good is the 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: Fever World Cup. 116 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: It's so good. It's in Sydney and it's amazing. 117 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: So we went out on Thursday night to see what 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: was a nervous Opens team. 119 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: It wasn't great. 120 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: Opened their campaign with a disappointing loss to France. They 121 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: looked tight, they looked disjointed, They looked all the things 122 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: I guess probably happens when you haven't played together and 123 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: you're playing in front ten thousand pumped people at home, 124 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: a little bit of expectation on the shoulders. They just 125 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: struggled to score and they were only down by one 126 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: at half time, but they faded to go down seventy 127 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: to fifty seven. The second match was against Mali, and 128 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: I think that couldn't have come at a bit of time. 129 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: Nerves evaporated. They crushed them, registering one hundred and eighteen 130 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: to fifty eight score line that was not only good 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 2: for their confidence but also handy for the FOREI and 132 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: against because it's pretty tight in that pool. The shooting 133 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: from outsider was especially pleasing. They shot at fifty five 134 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: percent from beyond the three point line. Ezie mag Bagor 135 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: stood up with fifteen points after a quite showing against 136 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: France by Kayla George and Tess Imagine. It went that 137 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: they shot the lights out, making four triples each good. 138 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: Game three was builled as a bit of a revenge 139 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: match against would probably say new rivals Serbia. 140 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: But weirdly like on multiple occasions now. 141 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: So they beat us in Tokyo to knock us out 142 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: in the quarters, and they were also they knocked us 143 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: out in that World Cup qualifying. 144 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: They didn't also knock us out in Rio. I'm pretty 145 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: sure they knock us out of the quarters in Rio. 146 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: Let me Google, you continue, just put. 147 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: Some hold music in the background while we wait. So 148 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: obviously that that World Cup match saw Steph Talbot ejected 149 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: for elbowing at Javanna Nogich, So the game was obviously 150 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: there was peabe to hype leaning up it was. It 151 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: was a muss win match for the girls, and it 152 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: lived up to the hype that the Aussies got the 153 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: win and they posting an impressive sixty nine to fifty 154 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: four triumph. They were huge at the defensive end. Chloe 155 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: was traveling for AFL and I sent her the old 156 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: defense wins Trophies text message after the first half. 157 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: I've never heard that one before. 158 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so in the first quarter alone, this is huge. 159 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: The opals fourth Serbia into five shot clock violations. 160 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that their defense has been outstanding. 161 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: Held them to ten points and that defense didn't let up. 162 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: All game celebrations from the players. I love this for 163 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: a stop was just as large as it was for 164 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: a three point shot. Like they were getting around each other. 165 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: They are cool for the defensive plays, that's really cool, 166 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: which is great because we all know defense within the trophies. 167 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: Beck Allen was excellent all over the court, led all 168 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: scorers with sixteen points. She was involved in a bit 169 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: of a nasty collision late in the match and left 170 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: the court in some serious pain. 171 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: It looked quite sore. 172 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, concerns that she might have broken a rib or two, 173 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: but apparently this morning the update is there's no structural damage. 174 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: So hopefully whatever ourys she's done to herself clean themselves 175 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: up in the next day or two and surely misses. Tonight, 176 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: the efforts across the team was outstanding. Summed up. I 177 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: thought by play in the third quarter when Sammy Wickham 178 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: cops Australia watch the nose that left her nose bleeding. 179 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: She stopped for a minute a second or two before 180 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: bursting straight back into the play to intercept the pass 181 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: and then stop the game because she's got the balls, like, 182 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: hang on, my nose is all over my face here. 183 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: So our last two matches tonight, Pool matches Canadia and 184 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: then she was day Japan. 185 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: Big one b ones, big ones that we need to 186 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: secure because we want to get the top two spot 187 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: for that crossover when it comes to quarterfinals. 188 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: We would like to be avoiding USA and China. 189 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: We would really like to avoid that if we can. 190 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you my Google update. I 191 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: was at this game at the real Olympics. I went 192 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: to the Olympics because. 193 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: You've been drinking for three days by that stage. 194 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Probably it was the quarterfinal curse. I remember the Australian teams. 195 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: We all had a quarter final, well not all of us, 196 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: but some of the other. 197 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: Teams that collecks jingle my medal. Where is that metal 198 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: have you seen this before? 199 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Seventy three to seventy one, Serbia knocked Australia out of 200 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: the quarterfinals. It was a really close one. So this 201 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: rivalry not as new as you think, at least six 202 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: years old. 203 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: Now. The carry out last night was warranted and I 204 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: was I was there for it was absolutely on my feet, 205 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: fist pumping along with the rest of them. 206 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: In AFLW. There was a huge upset on Saturday when 207 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the flag favorite Brisbane line went down in a low 208 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: scoring thriller two goals six eighteen to one goal eight fourteen. 209 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: The conditions were pretty difficult. It was quite windy, which 210 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: caused some issues for both teams, but it was the 211 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: Tigers who adapted best and got to sing the song. 212 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Brisbane's Dakota Davidson made a very interesting decision. 213 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: Thoughts on that. 214 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: I think it was a real rush of blood to 215 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the head. It was a weird moment. I know Dakota 216 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: plays on a lot of passion and energy and I 217 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: think probably got a bit carried away in that moment. 218 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: Was pretty a mark almost in the goal square and 219 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: played on to try and snap it and it was 220 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: this awesome smither by the Richmond Tigers player Gabby Seymour. 221 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: Richmond coach Ryan Ferguson said after the match that by 222 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: far it's Richmond's best ever win. This was a breakthrough moment. 223 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: We felt like we had chances against the Crows and 224 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: couldn't put them away. So to play against the best 225 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: team of the competition and in our opinion outright premiership favorites, 226 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: it was the breakthrough we've been looking for. 227 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: Be interesting to see how the Tigers move on from this, 228 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: because they've obviously got some really good football players in 229 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: that group and he's right. I think he's probably on 230 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: the money. There might just be the win that gives 231 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: them the confidence. 232 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: Hopefully not in round nine or whenever we play them. 233 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: On Friday night, the expansion club Hawthorne got their first win, 234 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: beating a fast starting Sydney Swans to score a thrilling 235 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: victory at a packed swin Burns Center. Coach Bet Goddard 236 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: gave a pretty solid spray. I kind of wanted to 237 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: get the audio game. I saw Tillie lucas Rod, a 238 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: friend of mine who is the captain at the Hawks, 239 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: standing in the front row and she just was following. 240 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: I kind of like wasn't sure because you could see 241 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: the players reacting. You saw the back of Beck's head 242 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: and I didn't know if they were just avoiding eye contact, 243 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: but Tilly was just watching her every move. 244 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: I loved it. 245 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: Just yelled at them. 246 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: I love that from Tilly. Didn't lose eye contact. 247 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I rated it. It obviously worked because they were down, 248 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: so it set up a five goal five thirty five 249 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: to four goal seven thirty one win. There's been plenty 250 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: in the media about Hawthorne in the last week, and 251 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: it's been a pretty rough time based on some allegations 252 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: around the treatment of First Nations players, and it was 253 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of different opinions that 254 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: I read on Twitter, players and coaches talking after the 255 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: match about the player's decision to wear the indigenous jumper 256 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: as well, and I think what we see is a 257 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: really cool thing in women's sport, and there's actually a 258 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: lot of data coming out around it now, is that 259 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: women's sport is a really inclusive and really diverse space. 260 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: And so the team knew that they had an opportunity 261 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: to kind of make their markers as the new direction 262 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: that Hawthorne wanted to be going in that space. 263 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: I agree. Question for you klok we had a granny 264 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: on the weekend in the mental AFL space. Yeah, so 265 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: from next week, if you want to watch the footy, 266 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: you're watching the women love it. I'm not going to lie. 267 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: I haven't done a whole heap of research into this, 268 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: but there was I definitely saw some commentary around the 269 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: fact that those matches played on Friday at punt Road 270 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: were lockouts, but the grandstands not available due to engineering issues. 271 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: It's unsafe, So I think you can only fit two 272 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: thousand odd people in Punt Road. Yeah. I get they 273 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: were trying to leverage the crowds there for the weird 274 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: Grand Final parade on barges, but we'll leave that. Absolutely 275 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: understand all of that, but again there was commentary about 276 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: lack of food outlets, lack of toilets, and again just 277 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: a substandard environment. I know Marvel's not right near the 278 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: g punt Roads right there. I understand that, but why 279 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: not put those back to back games at Marvel on 280 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: the same day. 281 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I liked the idea of having it in 282 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: the same place as the parade, But I don't think 283 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: you ever want to limit the capacity either. 284 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: If it's only two. 285 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's really low, isn't it. 286 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: In cricket spring here kind of doesn't feel very springy, 287 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: does it. 288 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't. 289 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: The WNCL has begun and there have been some epic 290 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: matches played out already. Quick refresher for us all. The 291 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: WNCL Women's National Cricket League is the national domestic fifty 292 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: over competition and all of Australia's best cricketers are currently 293 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: turning out for their state teams. This will be the 294 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: biggest ever WNCL season as a tournament returns to a 295 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: full schedule with two matches against each opponent for the 296 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: first time in more than a decade. That is forty 297 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: three matches with the final scheduled for the twenty fifth 298 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: of February twenty twenty three. 299 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: That's a long time away, so a lot of matches, 300 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: so much cricket. It's kind of weird because a lot 301 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: of women's sport in this country does not last for 302 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: nearly that long. 303 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: It's fantastic. The Oppening Days saw the stars of the 304 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: game come to play when South Australia defeated Victoria. Victorians 305 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: set an impressive total of two for two hundred and 306 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: sixty four from their fifty overs, with Elease Perry registering 307 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen not out and Annabel Sutherland one 308 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: hundred and ten not out. It seemed like a winning 309 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: total until in former Talia McGrath came to the crease. 310 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: McGrath was brutal, clubbing one hundred and eleven runs from 311 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: as many balls, including three consecutive six's in the final 312 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: over to seal the thrilling win. 313 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I did get that wrong in my Instagram post. 314 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: It happens. 315 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: No one's perfect and I deleted it. 316 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: That's all right, you just admitted your mistake. We'll move on. 317 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: We'll move forward. 318 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: On Sunday, batting machine Beth Mooney notched her first century 319 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: for her new team Western Australia. WA batted first against 320 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: ACT and the ACT bowlers could not find a way 321 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: past Mooney, who was seeing it like a basketball. Mooney 322 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: finished one hundred and fifty one not out from one 323 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: hundred and forty deliveries, helping w A to a huge 324 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: total of six for two hundred and ninety seven. Act's 325 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: run chase started promisingly until Alana King was introduced into 326 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: the attack. King took two quick wickets with her legs 327 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: bin and her final figures of three for thirty one 328 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: from my ten overs helped end any chance that Act 329 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: had of chasing down the WA total. 330 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: In soccer, the Women's Super League the WSL started last 331 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: weekend in the UK and on Sunday, another record was 332 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: smashed when a crowd of forty seven, three hundred and 333 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: sixty seven turned up to watch Arsenal take on Tottenham 334 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: in the North London Derby. I was watching you watch 335 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: me to make sure I said Darba correctly. I saw, 336 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: and then you just gave me this silent nod of approval. 337 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: I've taught you well, young one. 338 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: Well you've been hanging out with all those Derby sayers. 339 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of Derby sayers in my team. The 340 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: fans at the Emirates Stadium witnessed a dominant display from Arsenal, 341 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: who dispatched the spurs for Neil. Matilda's Steph Catley and 342 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: Caitlin Ford were impressive for Arsenal, with Ford being awarded 343 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: the Player of the match. I like how these Aussies 344 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: go over there and dominate in these huge leagues. It's 345 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: really cool. 346 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: There's a little bit of chat around about how much 347 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: not better, but how good they're looking in Arsenal in 348 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: their club shirts as opposed to Mattil shirts, like we 349 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: just can't. 350 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: Get it, can't come together, I don't get it to click. 351 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: Maybe twenty twenty three World Cup will be we can 352 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: only hope the time. Kelly Simmons, the English FA's director 353 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: for the women's professional game, said, after a stunning summer 354 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: that saw packed out stadiums to watch the Lioness's during 355 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: the UEFA Women's Euro we were really confident that we'd 356 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: see a new record attendance early on in this season's 357 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: Barclays Women's super League. The English game is really feeling 358 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: the flow on from a huge Euro twenty twenty two tournament, 359 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: and the WSL is placed to capitalize on the growing 360 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: profile of the female athletes in the UK. Arsenal center 361 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: back and England captain Leah Williamson implored fans who had 362 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: followed the team's triumphant Euro's journey to come to WSL matches. 363 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: We've brought everybody together, We've got people at games. We 364 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: want them to come to the Women's Super League. The 365 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: legacy of this team will be the start of the journey. 366 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 2: Love that powerful, love that. 367 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: And I love that the investment and marketing and everything 368 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: that surrounded the Euros has a flow on effects as 369 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: we always talk about. Let's take a look at the 370 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: key story. 371 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: In some more soccer news, some less joyful soccer news. 372 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: Late last week, fifteen players each sent an email to 373 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: the Royal Spanish Football Federation. Each email said the same 374 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: thing and advised the federation that the player was not 375 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: available to be selected until the issues raised had been addressed. 376 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: It read, in part, I inform you that the events 377 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: that have occurred and the situation that has arisen in 378 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: the Spanish national team, a situation of which you are aware, 379 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: are having an important effect on my emotional state and 380 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: makes end by extension, my health. As a result, I 381 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: do not currently consider myself to be in a condition 382 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: to be chosen for the national team, and I asked 383 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: not to be called up until the situation is resolved. 384 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: The federation quickly, very quickly released their own statement that 385 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 2: said it will not allow players to question the continuity 386 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: of the national coach and his coaching staff, since making 387 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: those decisions does not fall within their powers. The federation 388 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: will not admit any type of pressure from any player 389 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: when adopting sports measures. These types of maneuvers are far 390 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: from exemplary and outside the values of football and sport, 391 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: and are harmful. The statement went on to say the 392 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: players would not be allowed to return to the national 393 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 2: team unless they accept their mistake and ask for forgiveness. 394 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: There are so many red flags in this, I don't 395 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: even know where to begin with that. And within that, 396 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: did the federation not release the email? The girls and 397 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: the players didn't want it to be released publicly, and 398 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: the federation has gone with their statement and actually release 399 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: the email publicly. 400 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: We'll get today if you keep reading. 401 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm aware of it. I'm actually having a discussion with. 402 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: You about this. Yes, there was a private email. 403 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: A private email, so they've got the players haven't made 404 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: it a public statement, which would make sense for them, 405 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: a public response to the matter. But the players have 406 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: done it privately. And I think the biggest thing with this, 407 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: You're going to get annoyed because I'm not going in 408 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: the order of the research, But the biggest thing with 409 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: this is that there's fifteen I'm angry there's fifteen players 410 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: that have come out and said it. If you think 411 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: about the honor that comes with representing your national team 412 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: and the level of emotional turmoil or whatever it is 413 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: that they're describing that you have to get to to 414 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: put your hand up and say I'm actually going to 415 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: step down and not represent my country is huge. Most 416 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: fifteen players to do that, there's obviously something wrong. 417 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 2: You're not including the captain of the squad, who had 418 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: already about I think three or four weeks ago, had 419 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 2: conversations with the federation around the same thing. She kind 420 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 2: of said, look, I'm absolutely here in support, but I'm 421 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 2: not ready to send that email. And the ballon d'Or winner, 422 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: who's actually currently out injured, also threw her weight behind 423 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 2: it too. So seventeen, I mean, how many are in a. 424 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: Squad, I don't know, but a lot, not a lot 425 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: more than. 426 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: That, not more than that. 427 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: Well, head coach George Wilda has faced questions before, and 428 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: it does seem like the relationship between him and a 429 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: large number of players has now completely broken down. So 430 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: the issues include players being unhappy with how injured players 431 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: are being managed, the atmosphere in the change room, his 432 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: team selections and his training sessions he is said to 433 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: be controlling, and his connection with the Spanish club Rail 434 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: Madrid has left some players feeling there is bias in selections. 435 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: None of the fifteen players that sent the email were 436 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: from that club. It's interesting, isn't it. Players have spoken 437 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: about how joining the national team has become something to endure, 438 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: not enjoy, and sources close to players have said that 439 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: players are suffering from anxiety and the environment has become 440 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: tense and untenable. As we said, the federation's response was 441 00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: terse and abrupt and just a really horrible power I 442 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,719 Speaker 1: think was so dismissive, very dismissive, and that whole idea 443 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: of accepting mistakes and asking for forgiveness is really concerning yea, 444 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: and it makes me feel very uncomfortable on their behalf 445 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: that response from the federation meant. The players then released 446 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: a joint statement over the weekend which said, we the players, 447 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: lament in the first place that the RFEF has made public, 448 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: in a partial and interested way, a private communication with 449 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: information that affects our health, which is part of our privacy, 450 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: sent in response to the request of the own federation 451 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: to know which of us wanted not to be summoned, 452 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: communication to which, by the way, we have not received 453 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: a formal response. We've never asked for the dismissal of 454 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: the coach. As has been commented, we understand that our 455 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: job is not in any case to choose said position, 456 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: but to express in a constructive and honest way what 457 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: we believe can improve the performance of the group. Very 458 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: well said, yeah, let's Spanish. 459 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of translation going on there, but beautiful, 460 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: here's a question for you. So let's remove this from 461 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: a female sporting environment, an elite, a female sporting environment, 462 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: and place it into the context of a workplace. Yes, 463 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: any workplace. Fifteen staff send the same email to their manager, 464 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 2: the CEO, to whoever it may be, saying there's an issue. 465 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: Here's the issue. You know about the issue, We would 466 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: really like you to do something about the issue and 467 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: let us know what that might be. Instead of getting 468 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: a response, that employer then releases a public statement to 469 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: the media sphere rebuking your goal to say, there's an 470 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: issue here and we'd like you, we want to know 471 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 2: what you're doing about it. It's frightening. 472 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: It's frightening. And what's really strange is why are they 473 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: not correct channels in place within that federation, Like why 474 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: is there not people in culture or whatever they would 475 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: call it. 476 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: Like a lot of what I've read is there's a 477 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: strong undercurrent of the female team feeling like they're not respected, 478 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: that they're add ons, you know, the same thing that 479 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: we hear all the time, that you know that the 480 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 2: president really doesn't care about women's football, that wishes they 481 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 2: would just go away. The shared response that on top 482 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: of what CLO just read, concluded with the following words, 483 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: which sadly feel all too familiar. We regret that in 484 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 2: the context of women's sport, we have to go to 485 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: the extreme, as unfortunately has happened in other national teams 486 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 2: and other sports historically worldwide, in order to advance in 487 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: a powerful and ambitious professional project for the present and 488 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 2: for future generations. 489 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: Bang on, yeah, isn't it? 490 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: It is? And it's it's disheartening because I mean, this 491 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: is a team full of absolute superstars and as they said, 492 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 2: they regret that they have to make this noise. They 493 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 2: didn't want it to be public. It's now public and 494 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: it's not a good look for the Spanish Football Federation. 495 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a look. Got to watch In basketball, the 496 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: Fever World Cup continues and the Opals will be looking 497 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: to finish the pool matches off strongly with a win 498 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: over Japan.
