Speaker 1: we sell your stuff. We had a call from Gary

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: who wants to offload his Brisbane Lions jumper.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 3: I'm leave in Melbourne, but because I loved Holden.

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Holden was the imbalance of the line, and I thought

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: line miles barriers or the Brisbane line.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: It all just you know, sometimes it's hard to understand

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: what another person's It all just jel together. We're all different,

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: aren't we. Gary's mind it all to quote, It all

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: just jell together. Rest of us like, I don't see

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: any gelling in that. But this morning we want to

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: know strange reason you barrack for your footy team. Julie

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: is a West Coast Eagles fan. She's not from there.

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: She just felt sorry for the West Coast, thinking as

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a child they would have no friends. So I started

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: supporting them. This is from Zig. I was born in Sydney,

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: so follow the Swans. After last year's Grand Final performance,

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I jumped teamp dropped them. Just start following my girlfriend's team.

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Conninwood Christian. When I met my now husband, I replaced

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: his ex wife on the membership, so I had to

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: start liking the team as I was going to all

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: their games. Wow, I never thought about that post divorce.

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: What happens? Christian? Back in the day, my dad worked

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: for cub Cartland the United Breweries, so I followed Cartlin

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: the VFN into the AFL. Gary was given a Melbourne

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: jumper when he was five, randomly by a neighbor. So

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: he's now sixty nine. So for sixty odd years he's

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: a D's fan. Christian. I initially followed Carton because I

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: thought Anthony Cooter Feeders was fit Kuda. When he left,

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: I jumped shipped to the D's like a desperation thing.

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Is it, Kirsty? Thank you very much? All right? So

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: what is the random or strange reason you support your

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to get down and just check in on

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: Southierra Betty Burgers. They've owned his, rebuilt and reopened. How

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: do they fare in the earthquake? Is Melbourne's Richter scale?

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,639

Speaker 1: So this morning want to know on nine four one

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: four one oh four three. Strange reason you support your

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: footy team and some of you have texted in Christian,

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I bart for Jenong because back in the eighties, get

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: a load of this, some players used to collect my garbage.

65
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: What do I do know?

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: Up until the nineties, when it became a full time

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: job to be a footballer, you did have to hold

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: down another job.

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: That's right, because someone told me that Jordy Lewis was

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: do you remember that we had called on the show

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: or I met someone in the pub once said that

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Jordie Lewis, even when he's playing for the Hawks, even

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: then he had a part time job. He was doing

74
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: his apprenticeship as a plumber.

75
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: Really, yes, yeah, I guess like they're keeping a backup

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: just in case football doesn't work out for.

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Them, learn a trade, you know, Christian. My mum was

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: a Collywood supporter in the seventies until her favorite teacher Brackets,

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: who played for Collywood again, the job moved to Carlton.

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: The rest is History. I wish we could do your

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: feature once a week called the Rest is History. I

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: love it when people say that it's so grandiose, and

83
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: of course the rest is history, like we all know

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: the history. Nichola's on the line. Good morning, Nikola, Good morning,

85
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: Good morning Nicola. I have you had a good weekend?

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: So why do you follow your team?

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Yep? So my partner watches football, so I figured I

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: might enjoy it more if I had an actual game

89
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: to barrack for. And my dogs are called Laupton, which

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: is a little wine dogs, so naturally I thought we'd

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: better barracks for the Brisbane line.

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: It all makes sense, it all chat together.

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: There is a dog's team, you know, the bulldogs, but

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 4: skip that.

95
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: You're right, Drake a great point. But they're not they're

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: not lining dogs and they're like the old so it's

97
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: lo ching the breed.

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I thought there.

00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Was the dog's name too, and I was a very

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: bush and enormous German name. La.

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: They're called Relapses, that little lion dogs.

102

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: So my mum in the late forties early fifties was

147
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: in an orphanage in South Melbourne and the kids didn't

148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: get out much. But Collingwood were the benefactors of the

149
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: orphanage and used to come on weekends and take the

150
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: kids out for autie.

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: What a lovely thing to do.

152
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, what have you been coming with the benefactors so

153
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: they could recruit players from the orphanage?

154
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no no, they were Oh my god, that

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: way to the they gave money to.

156
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: The Orphanage Benefact. That do you mean they were like
