The Black Fans were on a forty 132 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: one game winning streak, but the Ossies had their own 133 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: streak to defend and were aiming for their fourth straight 134 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: Dubai Crown. Bi Nterita was outstanding for the Aussie team. 135 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 3: Do you see that opening. 136 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: Try, She's just she can just say go. 137 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: So twenty seconds in takes the ball, scintillating solo effort, 138 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: sintilating solo. Madison Levi scored the winner after some solid 139 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: lead up play from at skipper Charlottekaslick. It was Levi's 140 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: eleventh try of the weekend and her pacing streak is 141 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: something to behold, like if they get if we can 142 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: get her the ball in a bit of space, it's 143 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: not many people are stopping her. 144 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: She did. 145 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Madison Levi also in that semi final, carried the team 146 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: in like she just picked the ball up, quick tap 147 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: off a penalty to score and then ran around the 148 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: outside to win the game, like she can turn it 149 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: on when the team needs it. 150 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely. The Aussie's won the final twenty six nineteen and 151 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: Katholic said after the game, it's amazing. It was disappointing 152 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: losing lists for the final because she's so important to 153 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 3: our team. But it shows a depth we've been creating 154 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: and bb B and Toada stepped up and had a blinder. 155 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: We wanted to hold the ball as much as possible 156 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: because we know when they touch it they are dangerous, 157 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: so that was the key alongside our restarts. Teacan Levi 158 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: is unbelievable. So she's Madison's sister. She's had an amazing 159 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: preseason and we're all getting to see the hard work 160 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: she's done this year. Deegan Levi was actually awarded Player 161 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: of the Final for her efforts. So massive effort from 162 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: the girls.

Doesn't that sound so bizarre. 169 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: I know. I'm interested in your thoughts on this. It 170 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: was an article, a story that I thought we needed 171 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: to put in here because it's just this is a 172 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: story that's normally in reverse totally, so continue. 173 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: I kind of like it. 174 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Mercury thirteen is a recently formed company which is looking 175 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: to invest in women's football clubs and is planning to 176 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: spend around one hundred million dollars in order to buy 177 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: stakes in around twelve teams globally outside America. Bloomberg reported 178 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: that the group was keen to acquire a majority stake 179 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: in the women's team at Low's at Loew's, which is 180 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: a fan owned club near Brighton on England's south coast. However, 181 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: Mercury's approach has been refused, and a joint statement from 182 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: Low's chief executive officer Maggie Murphy explained that the group's 183 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: mission to invest only in women's football teams would pose 184 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: a dis disruption far too big to lose FC foundation 185 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: because is this This is the team, isn't it? 186 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: They're the team that have They're like the only team 187 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: that have equal pay. 188 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: Again, the caveat with the equal pay is that it's 189 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: a female team that's in second division, so just under 190 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: the division that say the Mighty Chelsea Plane. Right, but 191 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: their men's team is like division seven. 192 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: Yeah right. 193 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: Their men's team is plumbers and builders and accountants. 194 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: So that's how they get equal pay. Yeah huh yeah, 195 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm starting to change my mind about this. So the 196 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: structure needed to sorry, this is back to Maggie's quote, 197 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: the structure needed to make the specific opportunity work would 198 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: be too disruptive to other values that we hold. Dear, 199 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 1: the parties have agreed that the club's foundational principles diverge 200 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: considerably from Mercury thirteen's operating priorities, which makes a partnership 201 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: challenging at this time. So, as we said, Lose is 202 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: one of the only clubs in the world than equal 203 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: budget for its men's and women's team. So as you 204 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: touched on beds, the women's seems in a much higher 205 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: division than the men. So when we say equal paid, 206 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: that could be debated. I would say. 207 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: Mercury thirteen was launched by Victory Suki Codvina and includes 208 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: backers such as former England international Enola Aluku, Exparis Saint 209 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 3: Jermain keeper Ariana Chrision and former FIFA Innovation officer Louis Vicente. 210 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: They'd been in discussions with Lewis FC since August and 211 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: the deal had gained provisional approval from Loose two five 212 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy three owners, with sixty seven point eight 213 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: percent backing the proposed investment in a vote held last month. 214 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 3: But the deal, as we said, it wasn't without opposition. 215 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: In October, group of former directors in Lou's published a 216 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 3: letter opposing the deal, saying we don't believe this is 217 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: the right choice of the club. They said that trying 218 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: to keep up with some of the top women's teams 219 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: like Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal was coming at a 220 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: large financial cost, and added that in the lan last 221 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: financial year, one director donated six hundred pounds so Gojvina 222 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: Raynold added it the leadership team at Lose FC have 223 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: been incredibly professional, diligent and provided thorough documentation throughout our 224 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: investment process. Lewis is a pioneer in its approach to 225 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: equality and we firmly believe the club should continue to 226 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 3: protect these principles. The decision it does not in any 227 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: way diminish our shared commitment to fostering equity and progress 228 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: in women's football. So a pretty political statement there from 229 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: the head of Mercury thirteen. But I think again, the 230 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: overarching vibe I got from this story is that you know, 231 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: if the shoe was on the other foot, if there 232 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: was someone coming and wanting to invest heavily in a 233 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 3: male side of football and there was a women's team involved, 234 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: they just throw the women's team in on top, weren't they. 235 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: I've seen it happen again and again. 236 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: It's the classic story. 237 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: I think what's really frustrating about this is I think 238 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: that the club themselves and you mentioned the like twenty 239 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: five hundred owners, because the fans of the club actually 240 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: have the ability to be part of shares its love 241 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: their shareholders in the club, which is awesome. So to me, 242 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: they're doing all the right things. But the reason that 243 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: you would create something like wanting to be the only 244 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: equitable club in the world at this point in time 245 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: is because historically women have had less pay, less access 246 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: to resources. So they're actually addressing and inequity. But by 247 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: then saying that they won't accept funding specifically for the 248 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: women's team, you're then making a conscious decision to hold 249 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: the women back and to me, that's just a step 250 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: too far. 251 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: Yep, you've now that it continue. 252 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: That's all I've got. 253 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 3: Ye it's great. Okay, thanks, I can do next story. 254 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: Oh great, I totally agree with you. 255 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: Thank you for your permission. 256 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: In AFLW, the Brisbane Lines won their second AFLW flag 257 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, defeating the North Melbourne Kangaroos seven goals 258 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: to forty four to four goals three twenty seven at 259 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: a sold out Icon. 260 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: Park Neami beer wings do. 261 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: I didn't do well? Did? I not good? Tips? Sorry? 262 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: If anyone put any money on it. 263 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,119 Speaker 3: Weren't alone. 264 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: I was not alone. 265 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: I think pretty much everyone were on the kankers and 266 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: I think the Lines used that as a bit of 267 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: motivation too, just quietly they did. 268 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: They talked about it a lot. In the post game. 269 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: I was like, no one's riding you off. You've been 270 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: to five Grand Finals, guys, we know. 271 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: That you're good. 272 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: Whatever gets you up. 273 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: The Lions trailed by seven points at three quarter time, 274 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: but were able to avenge last year's defeat to Melbourne in. 275 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: The Grammy Granny The Grammy. 276 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: The Grammys by storming home to win. Dakota Davidson recovered 277 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: from her knee injury sustained last week to kick two 278 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: vital last quarter goals. They were pretty impressive to do 279 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: that under pressure. Usually there's a lot of carry on 280 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: post goal celebration sometimes from Dakota, but she does. 281 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 2: She pulls through a lot of the time. 282 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: In the big moment she finds the ball once again. 283 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: The Lion's victory was a direct result of their pressure. 284 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: It was quite interesting, like even the first quarter. I think, 285 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: I don't think there are any goals kicked in the 286 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: first quarter. 287 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 3: Where the one North ki and at the end was 288 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 3: six Millo. 289 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: Right at the end, Yes she did, but the pressure 290 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: you could just see there was just not a lot 291 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: of opportunity. They're elite at that, they really are, so 292 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: the Lion said, and aflw record for tackles, laying one 293 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: hundred and ten over the course of the game and 294 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: keeping North Melbourne scoreless in the final term. North was 295 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: rocked in the opening minutes. Oh, it was pretty heartbreaking 296 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: seeing Jenner Bruton going down injuring her right achilles tendon. 297 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Do we know it was achilles and not calf. 298 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 3: I think the last night it was Achilles. A lot 299 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: of chat around the killers. Just you look, she lost 300 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: all power. You could see it. 301 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird, wasn't it. She kind of had 302 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: jumped and then went to sprint and she kind of 303 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: just collapsed to the ground. Oh gosh, heartbreaking in a 304 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: Grand Final two. She was one of the best last 305 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: week and her presence in the midfield was definitely missed. 306 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: Jasmine Ghanna did everything she could for North Melbourne, finishing 307 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: their best on ground with twenty four disposals and two goals. 308 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: Elite, she's so good. 309 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: She jflwst and faris. 310 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: She should have been. I would agree with you. 311 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 3: I think I think which happens a lot some of 312 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: them Kango teammates took some points off her because they're 313 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 3: also good. 314 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 315 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely, that does play a role, doesn't it. Unfortunately, her 316 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: performance wasn't enough. Brisbane skipper Bree Conan was huge in 317 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: shutting her down. Breed really had a game, didn't she. 318 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: She seemed like she was just everyway from Brisbane. Yeah, 319 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: she was very, very good. 320 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: She took nine intercepts and had nineteen disposals, eleven tackles 321 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: and kicked the final goal. That's not a player of 322 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: the match, I don't know what is to be honest, 323 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: she said after the match. I just wanted to get 324 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: the job done and lead them the best I could. 325 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to play my role for the team and 326 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: bring others into it. I think one of my strengths 327 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: is my voice. I wanted to be able to instruct 328 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: the girls as best as I could. 329 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: Today. 330 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: The match was played in front of a sold out 331 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: crowd of thirteen thousand at Icon Park and the atmosphere 332 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: was electric. But given the match sold out within hours 333 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: of going on sale, Bez, do you think it's a 334 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: bit of a missed opportunity there from the AFL. 335 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: Hugely missed opportunity. I just don't. I do not understand 336 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: the logic of holding a Grand Final at a stadium 337 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: that's not big enough. 338 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. 339 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: And to me, it's now happened two years in a row, 340 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: the Sarifinals at Springfield last year. 341 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: So we're watching it yesterday and I said to cursed, 342 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: I was like, if Adelaide had beaten the Kangaroos, it 343 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: would have been at Springfield again with again like six 344 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: thousand people. 345 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think, is it around ten or is 346 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: it six. 347 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: It's eight. I think let's go between. We'll split the difference, 348 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: go halfway. 349 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: And I saw discussions during the week that the AFL 350 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: had committed to the venue possibilities at the start of 351 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: the season, they'd already locked them in. But to me, 352 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: if the AFL has Marvel to use, that needs to 353 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: be locked in from the beginning exactly that marvels the option, 354 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: or if Brisbane need a home Grand advantage. 355 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: But they don't like, I'm sorry. The AFL Men's Grand 356 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: Final is the first Saturday, the last a in September 357 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: every year except for every now and then it ends 358 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: up in October, which is weird. That's weird, but that's 359 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: tradition and that's the way it works. So let's start 360 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: our own tradition. Let's make the AFLAW Grand Final the 361 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 3: first Saturday. Also Sunday's done on Sunday, I'm not sure, 362 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: Like first Saturday in December at Marvel done when I'm sorry, 363 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: if it's Brisbane or Adelaide or Perth, whoever it might be, 364 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: or Greater Western Sydney Giants Grand Final is at Marvel 365 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: in front of Let's be honest, it would have been 366 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: fifty thousand people there. 367 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: Yesterday there absolutely would have been It's. 368 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I think AFL need to show even 369 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 3: more bravery when it comes to putting the athletes on 370 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: the best stage. And apparently it did rain for three 371 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: days in Melbourne. Obviously it was an absolute screamer day yesterday. 372 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: But again if it hadn't been raining during that Grand 373 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: Final put the cover on. Yeah, different different game altogether. 374 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: You know you played in Marvel, You've locked down the conditions. 375 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: It's perfect, let's get it done. In cricket, Adelaide Strikers 376 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: clinched their second consecutive WBBL tie in a heart stopping 377 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: final on Saturday night with a three run victory over 378 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 3: the Brisbane Heat in front of twelve thousand, three hundred 379 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: seventy nine fans at Adelaide Oval. It was the largest 380 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: crowd ever for a women's career game in Adelaide and 381 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: there would have been plenty of nervous south strains in 382 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 3: the crowd after the Strikers set what looked like a 383 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: pretty reachable target of one hundred and twenty six. Adelaide' 384 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: Skippertalie McGrath was immense for her side. She is a 385 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 3: good cricketer she's very good. She'scored thirty eight runs from 386 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: thirty four balls and took two for sixteen with the 387 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: ball in her hand, and her wickets came in successive 388 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: successive deliveries at a crucial time. So I think when 389 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: she started that over, the Heat were two for sixty 390 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 3: two and looking like they're in cruise mode. All of 391 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: a sudden, by the end of that over, they're four 392 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: for sixty two and starting to look a little shaky, a. 393 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: Little bit nervous getting lower down the order. 394 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: Leg's beIN Amanda Jade Wellington. It was clutch again for Adelaide. 395 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 3: She took the ball for the final over with Brisbane 396 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 3: needing thirteen runs from six balls, which is absolutely doable. 397 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: In T twenty, Kayla Hinckley, who we spoke to earlier 398 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: in before the season started, we did. She came in 399 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: and cracked a six, was a bright shot straight down 400 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: over long off next ball, so they needed five runs 401 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: off two balls. She went again, this time over long 402 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: on and just didn't clear the rope by about two 403 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: meters and got caught out. So again the Heat needed 404 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: five runs from the last ball, and Nikola Hancock could 405 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: only find a single after the game, Willington said, I'm 406 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 3: just overwhelmed with joy. Two years in a row to 407 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 3: have the faith the bobble last over is pretty special. 408 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: I was feeling the nerves, I was getting flashbacks from 409 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: last year. But I think for me, I love these moments, 410 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: especially when there's a crowd behind me and I know 411 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: my team are backing me and I know I've just 412 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: got to land my lengths and back myself. She was 413 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: She looked calm as Skipper paid tribute to the bowler 414 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: who finished with the figures of three for sixteen, saying 415 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: Willow was awesome for us. She had a very clear plan. 416 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 3: She had this look in her eyes that she knew 417 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: what she wanted to do. Then she executed for us 418 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 3: and it was very similar to last year, with ball 419 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: in hand and getting the job done, killing it. 420 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: I love that the. 421 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: Aussie contingent won't have long to celebrate their WBL seasons, 422 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: with the Australian squad due to depart their first multi 423 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: format tour of India on December thirteenth. The month long 424 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: series will include their first test on the subcontinent since 425 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. Fun times, How Good? 426 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: In a bit more football news, It was a rough 427 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: initiation for Matilda's debutants Charlie's Rule and Sarah Hunter against 428 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: Canada on the weekend, and a starting team that was 429 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: somewhat experimental had no answers for the hosts losing five nil. 430 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: The Matildas started the match with six players with fewer 431 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: than twenty caps, and there were no players from the 432 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: four nil Women's World Cup win over Canada in the 433 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: starting lineup. Wasn't that crazy? 434 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 3: Not a single player, but. 435 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 2: Also the four nil win? Like, what a time? 436 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: That was so good. I was reminiscing whilst watching that 437 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: game and thought that was probably the best we played 438 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: in that turn. 439 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 2: It really was, wasn't it must win? 440 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 3: Its cool nation and we absolutely battered them. 441 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: So sorry. 442 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: Back to the current story, the Canadians looked much more 443 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: comfortable in some pretty challenging conditions, with temperatures sitting at 444 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: around five degrees celsius. 445 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: And it was pelting it down. 446 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: Oh the cold and wet artificial pitch caused the Ossie's 447 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: issues throughout the match. 448 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: I've played on that pitch, I believe. 449 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, in five degrees in rain, no not you probably 450 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: you would have lost all your fingers. You wouldn't be 451 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: typing right now. 452 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: They would not be working. They probably still wouldn't be working. 453 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: Canada's Nachelle Prince scored a first half double, but the 454 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: most concerning stat to come out of the opening forty 455 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: five minutes was that the Tillies failed to register a 456 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: single shot or even a corner during the first half. 457 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: Former socceru Andy Harper, who does a lot of punitary 458 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: commentary work, said on Channel ten it begs the question, 459 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: when you go for an experiment, what exactly is the 460 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: point of the experiment? Very clearly a lot of the 461 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: players in the first half have been completely exposed. Is 462 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: that what he wanted out of this? Somehow we've hung 463 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: girls out to dry in the driving rain. I don't 464 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: know why we had to go down this path. It's 465 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: extraordinarily disappointing. 466 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: He didn't miss he had a crack. 467 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 468 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't understand why Claire Wheeler couldn't play next to 469 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: Kira Cooney Cross or Sarah Hunter couldn't play alongside Katrina Goury. 470 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: So Tony Gustafson made some changes for the final quarter 471 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 3: and gave some time to Mary Fowler, Coney Cross, Katrina 472 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: Goury and Alana Kennedy, but the damage had been well 473 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 3: and truly done by that stage. The Matildas did not 474 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 3: register their first shot until the seventy fourth minute, when 475 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 3: Fowler found some space but couldn't beat Canada's keeper Kaylene Sheridan. 476 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 3: So Ingostafs's postmatch press conference, he praised Canada for their 477 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: dominant performance, but also was complimentary his own side's efforts 478 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: when it came to sticking to the game plan. So 479 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: it'd obviously given them a challenge, he told reporters. We 480 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: said we wanted to go extreme today and really test 481 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: ourselves against one of the best teams in the world. 482 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 3: We tried to play out from the back, tried to 483 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: break lines, tried to combine to see where we are 484 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 3: in that process, both as a team and also with 485 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 3: individual players that we knew that could cost us. So 486 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: he emphasized the reasons for the experimental lineup, including load management, 487 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 3: which I do understand those those players that are playing 488 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 3: in Europe, you know, their SNC trainers would be like, well, 489 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: you know, Princess Mary Fowler is allowed to play x 490 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 3: amount of minutes over two games. I get that part. 491 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: He also wanted to test different players in different positions 492 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: and give new players opportunities to impress in the lead 493 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: up to Olympic qualifies against Uzbekistan in February. But and 494 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: there he's obviously a second friendly coming against Canada on Wednesday, 495 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: and they you know, I'm sure we'll be looking for 496 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: a much better performance. But I just I question how 497 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: a five nil battering helps those new players. 498 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: I think I'd agree with Andy Harper's comments around the 499 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: fact that the debutantes and the younger players who didn't 500 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: have as many caps could have had some more leadership 501 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: around them. I think that would have made a really 502 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: big difference. But I just feel like everyone's gone really 503 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: hard at Tony now when he's actually, in my opinion, 504 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: based on the World Cup performance, he's proved himself in 505 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: his strategy. There was a lot of discussions we had 506 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: in the lead up to the World Cup where there 507 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: was a lot of doubt about what he was doing 508 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: in the way that they were performing. I would argue 509 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: that he's proven his strategy in a sense and kind 510 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: of should be given a little bit more breathing room 511 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: to try these combinations for a friendly match. 512 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: And it's you're right, and I've just had a thought 513 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 3: whilst you were speaking that throughout the World Cup he 514 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: actually got criticized for not using his bench exactly. So 515 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: here he is completely using his bench and also getting criticized. Yes, 516 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 3: so maybe there's a happy medium tones. 517 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Andy Harp has bang on? 518 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 4: Is that? 519 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: Look? I just it was obviously incredibly difficult conditions. You 520 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 3: know when you watch those on synthetic pictures at night 521 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: in the rain, and it's kind of reflective. Yeah, even 522 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: we had to watch I can't imagine what would be 523 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: like playing out there. But yeah, I think for me 524 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: the biggest thing watching the game were we weren't just 525 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: been Like for us to not have a shot until 526 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 3: a seventy fourth minute, like that's pretty confronting. 527 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: And so you're coming from the opinion of, yes, the 528 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: players are getting minutes and getting exposure, but they're not 529 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: really because they're not even having shots on goals. 530 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: Well, we're just what are we when you're reviewing that match? 531 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 3: What are you reviewing? How many times we lost the 532 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: ball in defense? You know how much they just made 533 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: us panic in defense? Like I don't I'm not sure 534 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: what we're getting out of that. But yeah, hopefully Wednesday 535 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: will be a different story, and we spoil the party 536 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: of retiring great Canadian Christine Sinclair, who does need to 537 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 3: be celebrated. What a legend. 538 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: She's an absolute boss. And did you see that Ryan 539 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: Reynolds video? 540 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen it. 541 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: It's so good, so she should post it. 542 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, should be playing her three hundred and thirty first 543 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 3: international match at the age of forty, and she leaves 544 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: the game as the world's all time leading scorer with 545 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety goals. 546 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: It's not Christiano Ronaldo run that scored most goals, it's 547 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: Christine Sinclair. 548 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 3: So I think maybe we can if we win five 549 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: to one and she can score the goal. 550 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: That's fine, Okay, deal done in some more stats and 551 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: data news another week, another belt of a study. Sorry 552 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: Bez is just losing a lung in the background. Another 553 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: belter of a study released relating to female sports. There's 554 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: new data from Deloitte that indicates revenue from top women's 555 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: leagues will cross the billion dollar threshold for the first 556 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: time next year. Deloitte predicts that women's elite sports will 557 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: generate global revenues of US one point two eight billion, 558 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: with a B dollars in twenty twenty four. The total 559 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: is at least three hundred percent higher than Deloitte's previous 560 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: valuation three years ago. 561 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: I think that's interesting that in the space of three 562 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: years Deloitte has revised their estimations up a three hundred percent. 563 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: It's a significant bump, isn't it. Commercial revenue is predicted 564 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: to be a major growth driver and comprise fifty five 565 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: percent of the pie at six hundred and ninety six 566 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: million dollars, followed by three hundred and forty million, which 567 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: is twenty seven percent in broadcast revenue and two hundred 568 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: and fourteen million eighteen percent in game day revenue. The 569 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: two most valuable women's sports have projected to be football 570 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: at US five hundred and fifty five million and basketball 571 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: at US three one hundred and fifty four million dollars. 572 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: Jennifer Haskell is the INSIGHT's lead for Deloitte Sport Business Group, 573 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: and said, crucially, women's sport is increasingly being viewed as 574 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: a unique product that is becoming ever more distinct from 575 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: men's elite sports. 576 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 3: I love that good. 577 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: It's not awesome. 578 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 3: Different playing the same sport, but it's a different product. 579 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, this surge in fan and investor engagement is leading 580 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: to new and improved opportunities for clubs and leagues, including 581 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: greater commercial partnerships, increased participation, and bigger match days. In 582 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: order to ensure this growth remains consistent and sustainable, sports 583 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: organizations must ensure that investment is directed to the right places, 584 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: such as encouraging fan loyalty, player welfare, and maintaining competition 585 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: across the research clearly shows that women's leagues and teams 586 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: are not just sustainable, but increasingly profitable. Again and again, 587 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: we are seeing companies benefit when it comes to ROI 588 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: delivered by invested fans that are genuinely engaged with female 589 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: athletes and the companies that support them. Get on board now. 590 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: I loved what Tillie Kern said the water polo player. 591 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: She commented on the posts we had last week from 592 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: the study you chatted about last week bez and she said, 593 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: like a call out to businesses, get on board now. 594 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 2: While it's at a discounted rate. 595 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 3: One hundred percent with us, do not miss it in netball. 596 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: So this will probably potentially change between now and recording. 597 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 3: I hope I hope something official comes out. Yeah, I 598 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 3: hope that unofficially. Linda Pierce from Code Sports revealed over 599 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 3: the weekend that NETBALL'STRIA and the players have finally agreed 600 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: to a new CPA. The new Collective Play Agreement will 601 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: run through to September twe twenty twenty six, and at 602 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: the heart of the new agreement is a revenue sharing 603 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 3: model for sponsors money exceeding projections, which is what the 604 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: players were after. What a weird great common sense. However, 605 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: both parties have agreed that Nettle Australia's debt must first 606 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 3: be repaid, which makes sense. You want to take money 607 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 3: out of a sport that still has some pretty big debt. 608 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 3: Netble Australia also agrees to the players terms over a 609 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 3: new commercial model that includes concessions over the use of 610 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 3: the players intellectual property in promotional material. In relation to payments, 611 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: it's been agreed that the players were receiving eleven percent 612 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 3: increase on base salaries over three years, as well as 613 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: three percent annually on private health insurance contributions and back 614 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: pay from October the first, the date from which all 615 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: players have been uncontracted and unpaid. The formal announcement, as 616 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 3: you said, is still to be released but all reports 617 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 3: indicating the deal is done and Netble Australia will be 618 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: looking to put this drawn out and at times pretty 619 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: poorly handled process behind them sooner rather later. It would 620 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: be actually interested to see how Killy Ryan survives this. 621 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: To be honest, it's a tough gig as a SEEO 622 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: and you know through I think interestingly sometimes it takes it. 623 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: Obviously eight weeks of that pay is horrible, but it 624 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: took the awards night Lizzellis and a few other people 625 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 3: to really stand up to say this is not okay anymore. 626 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: But it looks like action to be finally taken. 627 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a really, really messy ordeal. 628 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: And I think what was really interesting when I was reading, 629 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: I think it was Britney Carter, a journalist, was did 630 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: a really great Twitter thread talking about the proposed revenue 631 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: share model that the players were asking for, and when 632 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: you look at what the numbers are, it ended up 633 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: being five hundred grand split by eighty players or something 634 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: that they were kind of ask like. It was hardly 635 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: any money at the end of the day that the 636 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: players were asking for. It was more the idea of 637 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: being recognized as partners in the game. Is what the 638 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: players were pushing for. They weren't being greedy and asking 639 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: for huge amounts of money. It was just to be 640 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: recognized as partners who contributed hugely to the game. 641 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: And I think, interestingly on that point, everything I've read 642 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 3: about this too, it's I think the key issue here 643 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: is the lack of trust between the players and the 644 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: and the organization, and I think that's the thing that 645 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 3: needs to be addressed. These things are just kind of 646 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: examples of it. But the real issue is that the 647 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: players don't trust the organization has their you know, best 648 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: interest at heart. 649 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the key story. 650 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: Last week I caught up with Ultra Marathon trail runner. 651 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: That was a lot of words that I did not now. 652 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: Kelly Angel, who is an incredible athlete. She recently gave 653 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: birth to two kids. She's come back. She just ran 654 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: one hundred mile race, which is the equivalent of one 655 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty kilometers through terrain and up and down hills. 656 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 3: Ridiculous, amazing. 657 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: I love to chat with Kelly. Check it out. 658 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: Kelly, welcome to the Female Athlete Project. Can you tell 659 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: us how on earth you're feeling after just finishing one 660 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: hundred mile aka one hundred and sixty kilometer event. 661 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm pretty tired and pretty sore, but I can 662 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 4: walk now. So that's a weird. 663 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: Is it common that you often can't walk once you 664 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: finish an event like that? 665 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 4: Oh, it's quite amazing. Like your body just knows where 666 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 4: the finish line is, and the minute you cross that line, 667 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 4: it just often just shut down. So my hip flix 668 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 4: has just stopped working. I could not lift my legs. 669 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 4: I could do the moonwalk walk backwards. 670 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: Can you talk us through what was the race? Like? 671 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: How did it feel mentally? I read some of your 672 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: content on Instagram around your captions of what that experience 673 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: was like. Can you break it down for us? 674 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was one hundred miles and the newly 675 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 4: developed Gropians Peaks Trail. It's a beautiful, spiritual place. I've 676 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 4: spent a lot of time over there over the past 677 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 4: ten years. And yeah, we started at twelve noon on Friday, 678 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 4: and the drive there was horrendous. It was absolutely bucketing down, lightning, 679 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 4: thunder all around us, and I was wondering what on 680 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: earth I got myself in for. But somehow it stopped. 681 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 4: There was a break in the weather and we started 682 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 4: on time, and I think probably about thirty seconds after 683 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 4: we started, there was another massive downfall and I think 684 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 4: I saw the sun for about five minutes in the 685 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 4: whole twenty eight hours in eighteen minutes that I was running. 686 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: WHOA, that's tough. 687 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 4: It was quite an adventure. 688 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: And can you tell us a little bit about the 689 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: work you do with the Women's Equality Group and particularly 690 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: around I got to chat to you on a panel 691 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: the other night which was really cool around pregnancy deferrals 692 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: for women who might qualify a time for a certain 693 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: event but then either pregnant already or might fall pregnant, 694 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: and historically haven't necessarily had policies in place to allow 695 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: them to defer that qualification to a later year. 696 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. So for me, I've just recently had two babies. 697 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 4: One is three and one is the seventeen months next week. 698 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 4: And traditionally, I guess before my time of having babies, 699 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 4: lots of events, you know, have qualifying criteria and things, 700 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 4: and once you're in, they traditionally didn't allow you to 701 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 4: defer your entry. So if you happen to fall pregnant, 702 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 4: then you either had to had to run it or 703 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 4: you just had to not and then you'd lose your 704 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 4: chance to enter some of these big events internationally. So 705 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 4: there's been a lot of work done in the last 706 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: for years to try and change that, to make sure 707 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: that there are deferrals in place, not only you know, 708 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 4: and it doesn't work when it's only for a year. 709 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 4: It needs to be longer because you know, to be 710 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: able to run out one hundred mile race for example, 711 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 4: you know you'll often have to run at least one 712 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 4: hundred k qualifier, So you need to have time to prepare, 713 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 4: not only during pregnancy, but then postpartum. You need to 714 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 4: let your body have time to recover and then build 715 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 4: up to being able to run qualify safely and then 716 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: actually be able to run the event. So you know, 717 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: it's really important that the right time frames are given 718 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 4: to people because you know everyone recovers differently as well. 719 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: Another really interesting point that you touched on, which as 720 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: a team sport athlete isn't something that I've had to 721 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: consider as a woman, is the idea of safety when 722 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: you're running individually. 723 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 2: Can you tell us a bit about that? 724 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so, I guess you know there's lots of barriers 725 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 4: to women in the trail running scene, in the running 726 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 4: scene in general entering events, and one of those things 727 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 4: is women feeling safe to train. You know, I live 728 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 4: in Melbourne. We have pretty pretty short window in the 729 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 4: middle of winter here with that, with no doubt at 730 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 4: savings and things. And for me personally, I hate running 731 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 4: on my own in the dark, so you know, I 732 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 4: will wind different people up for different nights of the 733 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 4: week to have some company. I'll go down to the 734 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 4: track with, you know, and find people to run with 735 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: under lights. You know, started up our own running groups 736 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 4: and things just to to find ways to make other 737 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 4: people feel comfortable as well, so you know, just to 738 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 4: reduce one of those barriers and to allow them to 739 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 4: participate and get out there. 740 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 2: Do you think there's anything specific that could be done 741 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 2: that could make women feel more safe but also more 742 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: comfortable to get involved in running. 743 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think you know, there's so many there's 744 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 4: so many formal and informal running groups out there. I 745 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 4: think that's a really great way to get involved. You know, 746 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: you can find all sorts of running groups on Facebook 747 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 4: and everyone is really welcoming. I think it can be 748 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 4: really daunting at first, but you know, people just need 749 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 4: to be prepared to step out of their comfort zone 750 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 4: a little like probably that one occasion and get down 751 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 4: to the group and you know they're probably never never 752 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 4: looked back. Another good initiative with a few tracks around 753 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 4: here is that, you know, some of the counselors will 754 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 4: open up their tracks, particularly through winter, and had the 755 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 4: lights on for people setain nights of the week up 756 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 4: until eight or nine o'clock. Yeah, so that people can 757 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 4: actually you get down there and actually feel a bit 758 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 4: safer running. 759 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome. What is next for you? 760 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: Have you made any plans or it was just the 761 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: goal to get through the hundred mile or and tick 762 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: that one off. 763 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 4: That was a pretty big one. I've had a pretty 764 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 4: big year, you know. I've only been back running about 765 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 4: twelve thirteen months after the birth of my second baby. 766 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's been a pretty big year getting back 767 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 4: into some events and doing lots internationally as well. So 768 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 4: I'll have a nice rest now and then I'll be 769 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 4: headed to Western States in California next year. At the 770 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 4: end of the race on the weekend, I said, oh, 771 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 4: I never have to do another hundred mile race again, 772 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 4: and then I remembered I was signed up for Western States. 773 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 4: But it's a very very different race and I can 774 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 4: easily take probably ten hours off the time that I 775 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 4: did this weekend, so it becomes a completely different program. 776 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: And was that because the one on the weekend was 777 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: quite hilly and up and down. 778 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the race on the weekend, it was, it 779 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 4: was very unique. You know, for those who haven't been 780 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 4: to the Grampians, it's extremely rocky. It's it was seven 781 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 4: and a half thousand meters of over one hundred miles, 782 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 4: so you're constantly up and down and the rain just 783 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 4: added to the challenge because the rock was slippery. You 784 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 4: had to be really you know, make some really smart 785 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 4: decisions about your foot placement. Very happy that I didn't 786 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 4: fall over in the whole race, but you know, but 787 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 4: it was, you know, it was, it was. It was 788 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 4: a real risk in it, you know. Yeah, you had 789 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 4: to just be really smart. We had lightning protocol. We 790 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 4: had to stop for a while, you know, to get 791 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 4: off the high ridges to keep us safe. There was 792 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 4: all sorts of challenges. It was fog. We couldn't you know, 793 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 4: you couldn't all through the night, you couldn't see more 794 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 4: than a meter ahead of you. And when you're climbing 795 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 4: over these rocky impact mets Cliff next to you. You know, 796 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 4: it's pretty pretty intense. 797 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: It is so impressive. 798 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: Well, Kelly, thank you so much for your time, particularly 799 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: while you're in the middle of your recovery.
