00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: virtual today. I'm sitting on a tiny chair and my

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: short ham strings and things do not like.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: I'm from gadigal Land.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: Clothes coming to you from the country where everything is

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: too small for her.

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: I've been having to duck under a lot of doorways,

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: watching my head at all times, but eating a lot

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: of beautiful food. We've actually had the best time where

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: about halfway through and it's been and.

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 4: What percentage of your body would you say is actually ramen?

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: It is one hundred percent Ramen. Right now, I'm filled

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: with the liquid. It's beautiful. Okay, let's actually do the podcast.

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds.

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 3: So Women's State of our Origin breaking records Newsophars Blues

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: have upset the Queensland Morose to twenty two to twelve

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: in game one of the historic three game Origin series.

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: Would we say it's an upset?

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: Oh, it's been a bit back and forth the last

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: couple of years, hasn't it.

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: I think also because the Queenslanders were playing their competition

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: well whilst the new sof Whales players were coming into

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: it a little bit more fresh.

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll call it an upset.

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: But two tries in the first ten minutes saw the

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: Blues taken early lead that ultimately Queensland could not claw back.

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: Bluesing Amy Chapman is being hailed for a brilliant individual effort,

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: scoring after receiving the ball just twenty minutes from her

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: own line.

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: She has she's strong, a seriously long stride.

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Yes she does when she gets going her legs and

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I reckon that makes it harder to tackle.

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: I reckon, you have a covered friend. But perhaps the

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: best result out of the game was off the field.

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: They broke television and attendance records twenty five four hundred

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: and ninety two spectators witnesses spectul at Suncorp Stadium and

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: I believe it was a bit of a rainy day

48
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: like it wasn't. It wasn't one of those days we

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: were like, hey, let's go to the footy. It was,

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, yet to be committed. So I love that

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: that was a record high tenants for a women state

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: of Origin, nearly doubling the twelve, nine hundred and seventy

53
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: two crowd that watched last year's opener. And they are

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: even more keen fans outside of lang Park, with the

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: game reaching a record one point nine eight million viewers

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: and holding an average audience of nine hundred and forty

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: one thousand and four the entire match, Cheneral nine's free

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: to air viewership was higher than free to a viewership

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: for any NRL Telstra Premiership match this season, and higher

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: than free to air viewership for any NFL match played

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: this year. That's pretty awesome, isn't it. It's very Beverlelandy's,

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: AARLC chairman, told media the women's State of Origin was

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: extremely successful last night.

64
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: I'm pleased to.

65
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: Announce it nearly hit a million viewers, which is remarkable

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: on how far the women's game has come. It's just

67
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: war for those lays because their ability and skill is unbelievable.

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Game two will we played in two weeks time on

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,480

Speaker 3: stole the second half of your story there, friend.

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: You absolutely did.

72
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: So let's go to football and then you can come

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: back to talk about the Wallaries. In football, Australia has

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: confirmed it will host the twenty twenty six Asian Cup.

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,560

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: on home soil. The event will bring together twelve nations

77

78
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: matches across New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. Bears,

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: you're going to be pretty stoked about some of the

80
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: news coming out of the final day of the Women's

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Super League. Chelsea downed FA Cup winners Manchester United six

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: nil to seal their fifth consecutive WSL title. The Blues

83
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: edged out rivals Manchester City on goal difference and it

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: was made extra special for departing coach Emma Hayes, who

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: ends her time at the club with sixteen trophies in

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: twelve years before she heads over to join the US

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: national Emmy back wacked.

Speaker 4: Back to back to back to Babaty.

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: That's a lot of back to backs.

90
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Also, did you see Samko when she got the trophy

91
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: and was like holding it up to the crowd and

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: then her and Milly did the like they turned around

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: and did the Ronaldo situation. She like did a big

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: jump and pivot and I was like, is your knee

95
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: okay to be ready? She's coming, put her in ready.

96
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: It's an amazing victory for Chelsea.

97
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: They were kind of dead and buried a few weeks

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: ago and you know, had a heave of injuries, so

99
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: pretty impressive really.

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: It was obviously that eight Yearol win against.

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: Brighton a couple of weeks ago that Sorry Bristol, It

102
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: really set us up for it. And also over in France,

103
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: Ellie Carpenter's Leona once again the champions. They secured their

104
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: seventeenth French title with a two one win over PSG.

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: It puts Leon in some pretty good stead heading into

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: their Champions League final this weekend. Against Barcelona, where they

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: will look to lift their fourth piece of silverware for

108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: the season. And Arsenal have announced they will make the

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: Emirates Stadium the primary home for their women's team this

110
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: upcoming season. News follows on from strong support both home

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: and away this season, with six matches hosted at the

112
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: Emirates singing an average crowd of fifty two thousand, which

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: included two sellouts and three Super League attendance records. Massive

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: happy to be BA stadiums.

115
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: Yes, seriously, bit of holiday planning news. We are heading

116
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: to Brazil in twenty twenty seven. It sounds like t

117
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: fat work trip.

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: Here we go. The twenty twenty seven.

119
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: Women's World Cup location has been declared with a winning

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: bid from Brazil. They're set to host the tournament for

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: the very first time. The Brazil bid edged the joint

122
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: European bid from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, which that

123
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: would have been a pretty strong bid.

124
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

125
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: Interesting, And I think the most interesting was that the

126
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: US Canada Mexico bid pulled out only two weeks ago,

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: which I thought was quite strange.

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, because have they then gone for twenty thirty one instead?

129
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: Is that what they've done.

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think so twenty twenty six, the Men's

131
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: World Cup is in those three countries, so it almost

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: kind of it seems it would be almost easier for

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: them to hold the Women's World Cup only twelve months later.

134
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: All the infrastructure and planning, you kind of just rinse

135
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: and repeat.

136
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a bit confusing that they've delayed it.

137
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: Maybe their budgets blowing out from twenty twenty six.

138
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: That seems to be happening more and more of these days.

139
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: But the Brazilian Football Confederation president and Nal de Rodriguez

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: told reporters, we knew we would be celebrating a victory

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: for South American women's soccer and for women. You can

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: be sure, with no vanity, we will accomplish the best

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: World Cup for women. That's a big statement, and I disagree.

144
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: Got some big shoes to fill after us. In New Zealand.

145
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Some rugby union news, the Walleries suffered a devastating thirty

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: two to twenty five defeat to the USA in their

147
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: second pack of four clash.

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: It was a pretty disappointing result. It was a pretty.

149
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: Disappointing game, to be honest. We just didn't seem to click.

150
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: There was a lot of mistakes from both sides really.

151
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: I think America probably just at the end of the day,

152
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: really towards the end of the match, when it was

153
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: there to be won, they were the ones that really

154
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: picked it up and went with it. The Aussies did

155
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: control the first half and we're up twenty to eight

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: at half time and.

157
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: To perfectly us, I thought it was all over too.

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: So maybe a little bit of complacency crept in, I'm

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: not sure, but second half tries to the Americans saw

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: them walk away with their first victory in the tournament. Again,

161
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: they're rolling more, proved decisive inclaiming the victory and it's

162
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: definitely something that Walleries need to work on. That defense

163
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: of the driving mall that we've seen the last two

164
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: weeks from Canada and America have really heard us silver lining.

165
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Hols aka the Kid, made history as the youngest

166
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: senior player to play for either the Walleries or the Wallabies.

167
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: Who's seventeen and some days aps.

168
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: Did the Kid nickname come from the Wartors.

169
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, when she turned up to year twenty twenty two,

170
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: so she played twenty twenty three for the Wartars. So

171
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: she played last year for the Wartars, and yeah, she

172
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: just started getting called the kid and the kid's duck

173
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: and she isn't the kid at the Wartars anymore.

174
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: We've got Bubba Ellis Ellis.

175
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: Who's younger than her. But it's one of those ones

176
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: where the kid might stick forever. On Sunday, Canada upset

177
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: World champs in New Zealand and christ Church twenty two

178
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: to nineteen to secure the Pack four title.

179
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: Huge for the Canadians.

180
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: Cue the world.

181
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: Number three Canooks.

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: It was their first ever victory over the Black Ferns

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: and they did have to survive a late charge from

184
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: the Kwis to secure the trophy. Yeah, massive for them.

185
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: They were obviously over the moon and it was a

186
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 3: deserved win. They were really exceptional all tournament. The Wallerioes

187
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: will now face New Zealand in New Zealand this Saturday

188
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: for the final match, and we will need to win

189
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: beat New Zealand, which we've never done before if we

190
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: want to be playing WXB one at the end of

191
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: this year. If we don't win, we'll be playing WXB two,

192
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: which is the second kind of division of that World

193
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: tournament that happens every year. So yeah, look, you know

194
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: they'd never say never. The Canadians beat them for the

195
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: first time on the weekend. Maybe it's two in the row.

196
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon that makes happen.

197
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: In a bit of car racing news, British racing driver

198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: Abby Pulling has become the first female driver to win

199
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: at the British Formula four Championship at just twenty one

200
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: years old. The victory comes as Pulling also leads the

201
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: F one Academy standings, following her back to back victories

202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: in their Fine Academy races in Miami at the start

203
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: of the month.

204
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: I completed in.

205
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: I competed in this championship a couple of years ago

206
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and my aim was to break that record and be

207
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: the first female to stand on the top step. Pulling

208
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: told IV four, I think it just shows what F

209
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: one Academy is doing. It's bringing up female participation and

210
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: there's just such a buzz now around women in motorsport

211
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: and bringing more participation and license holders in. It's really cool,

212
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: isn't it. So how's your car racing knowledge?

213
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: Like? Does it like F four, F three, F two,

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: F one.

215
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: I've got nothing for you.

216
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: Is it like it? Do you go up the way

217
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: is it? The different cars?

218
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Like anyone can anyone help us produce?

219
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: So you got any knowledge?

220
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: I got to say it's engine size.

221
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: Great, and we'll leave it at that, because car racing is,

222
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: to be perfectly honest. The one sport that I know

223
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: nothing about, just the one, pretty much, I reckon. I've

224
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: got a general broad knowledge of most other sports most.

225
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: Shoot back yourself in.

226
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: Onto the nets that I know about but cannot do.

227
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: Athletics Rose Davy storm to victory, especially running five thousand meters.

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: Oh no, amazing.

229
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: She read snow.

230
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: She read five thousand meters at the Saco Golden Grumpy

231
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: in Japan on the weekend, and the process broke jess

232
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 3: Holes Australian record. She ran it in fourteen minutes forty

233
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: one point six five seconds, to destroy the previous mark

234
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: that was set in twenty twenty.

235
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: This is crazy.

236
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: She had not run under fifteen minutes at the start

237
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: of this year, so that's nineteen seconds faster than fifteen minutes.

238
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: In five months.

239
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: It's a third. That's a that's a big third pb

240
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 3: of the year. So she is coming in with a

241
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: wet sale to Paris. She's already qualified for the Olympics

242
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: and we can't wait to see her run there.

243
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: How good in netball, the West Coast Fever have maintained

244
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: their spot at the top of the table and undefeated

245
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: run edging out reigning premiers the Adelaide Thunderbirds in a

246
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: nail biting one point thriller fifty seven to fifty six.

247
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh and some good news which I think we probably

248
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: saw coming, is that netball legend Liz Ellis has been

249
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: elected the new chair of the Netball Australia Board. It

250
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: comes just a couple of weeks after the former Diamonds

251
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: captain was appointed and directed to the board, so she

252
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: was kind of in their right as one of a few,

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: and they've now said you are the boss of the board,

254
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: which we love.

255
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: I hope she's got a bigger chair than you're sitting

256
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: on right now.

257
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: My hip places are getting very tight.

258
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Ellis succeeds Wendy archer Am, who announced she was stepping

259
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: down his chair earlier this year. Liz thanged the board

260
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: for their endorsement and said she was fully committed to

261
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: the growth agenda being led I recently appointed CEO Stacey West.

262
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: She said it's a huge privilege to lead this great

263
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: sport which has given me so much in my life

264
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: and which plays such an important role in the lives

265
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: of millions of girls and young women.

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: Massive and awesome that you know, as we said Liz

267
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: we spoke about last week.

268
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: I think it was Liz has.

269
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: Kind of said that there needs to be changed, and

270
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: now she's in there like she is.

271
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: Here's your opportunity to Lise make the change. You can't wait.

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: How good. Let's take a look at the key story

273
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: in basketball.

274
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: Last week, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced

275
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: the deal where it would provide a one hundred thousand

276
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: dollars and your sponsorship to each Las Vegas Aces WNBA

277
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: player for this season and twenty twenty five. And we're

278
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: talking one hundred k USD.

279
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: And we're talking I think, yes we are.

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: And I think the other important thing to note here

281
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: is the keyword there is sponsorship. So this is like

282
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: my Nike contract that I've got coming.

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: Is not really you've got in Early's.

284
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: This is not any kind of you know, salary or

285
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: anything like that. This is a sponsorship, Yes, it is.

286
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: I like how you're setting the story up in advance.

287
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: Ace's point guard Chelsea Gray told the media they're investing

288
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: in us, and so they put their money where their

289
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: mouth is. We've done so much for the city and

290
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: we're having fun doing it. It was a great moment

291
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: for me and my teammates of somebody actually putting funds

292
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 3: behind saying that they're supporting and they want.

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: To have us back. So we shared this video.

294
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Stinger Dom de Toy, who does an amazing job with

295
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the TFAP Socials, put a video up Monday morning on

296
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: our socials kind of giving.

297
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: A bit of a background.

298
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: But the video where they announced it to the players

299
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: was beautiful, Like it was so cool to see these

300
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: players feeling validated and recognized. But now there's been a

301
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: bit of a backlip, not from Las Vegas, but the

302
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: WNBA have kind of come in and said there's an

303
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: open investigation looking into the deal with the Aces players there.

304
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: So the sponsorship keyword technically does not violate the WNBA's

305
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: salary cap because the authority did not orchestrate the sponsorship

306
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: with the club, but other teams are likely to raise

307
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: questions about the fairness of the sponsorship and whether it

308
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: violates the spirit of the cap.

309
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 4: Are we really talking about the spirit spirit, the old

310
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: spirit of the game argument.

311
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: So now they Nataligua has stepped in to look deeper

312
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: into it. ACES coach Becky Hammond said that the tourism

313
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: Bureau reached out to all the individual players and agents

314
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: and wanted to have a sponsorship deal with all of them,

315
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: but the ACES organization was not involved in it. So

316
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: she's been pretty strong in saying this was literally an

317
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: individual approach to each player by the.

318
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: Tourism bureau bureau. Boo, that's a tough one.

319
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: Well, Berea Beurrea.

320
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: Becky said, I'm going to put it to you real simple,

321
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: like this, most of sponsorship people go after the top

322
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: two people. In this situation, from what I understand, they

323
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: want the whole team. So they went and called individuals

324
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: and their agents. He said, I don't know the details.

325
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: I have nothing to do with it. The ACES don't

326
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: have anything to do with it. It's odd, but that's

327
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: basically what happened.

328
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: I think it's so that's such a key part of it, right,

329
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Like you talk about the fact that it's sponsorship and

330
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: they approached the players, but the fact that Becky's highlighted,

331
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: that's what happens all the time. A big sponsor comes along,

332
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: they picked the key one or two players, and then

333
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: this gap continues to get bigger. And we love seeing

334
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: the big players be recognized and rewarded, but the gap

335
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: between the players that are on these low salaries without

336
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: endorsement deals gets bigger and bigger. So the fact they've

337
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: come in with exactly the same amount of money for

338
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: the entire team, I think is to me, it's a

339
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: perfect example of investing love the whole team approach and

340
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: if we put things, yeah, if we put things in

341
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: perspective from a salary point of view. Draftd Kate Martin,

342
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: who her story in itself was pretty cool on draft night,

343
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: the fact that she got drafted and is now part

344
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of the roster.

345
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: He's seen the footage of her blocking. Oh, I don't

346
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: remember who they're playing. I want to say Sparks maybe.

347
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't see the footage, but I saw the

348
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: photo with her and Kelsey Plump.

349
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just in the background just getting around her.

350
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: Just pumped for it. It was pretty sick. It was awesome.

351
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: So she earns just over sixty seven thousand US dollars

352
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: for the season. Star player Asia Wilson is the top

353
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: eight Vegas player bringing home a salary of two hundred

354
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: k US dollars, so an additional one hundred k for

355
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: her is an extra fifty percent on.

356
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: Her salary as the top player. Asia.

357
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: Wilson spoke to the men and said, when we're talking

358
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: about growing the game, taking that next step, it can't

359
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: always be investigate, investigate, investigate. It has to be like

360
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to move the needle, we're trying to make

361
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: things better for franchises, for players.

362
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: No.

363
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 3: I totally agree with what Aga says there, and it

364
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: is we spoke off air about this. It's a bit

365
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: like the charter flight situation from last year. There were

366
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: some more affluent clubs or some clubs that were willing

367
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 3: to invest more into their players that wanted to fly

368
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: them charter. So the New York Liberty was probably the

369
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 3: main one agitating for that, and there was a lot

370
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: of other clubs saying, well, where's the equity in this?

371
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: And I think I like what Wilson's saying, Well, if

372
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: we've got people willing to invest and grow the game,

373
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: it is time to move the needle. That needs to

374
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: be the baseline.

375
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's it's really tricky because I

376
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: get the equity argument, but it can't be holding back.

377
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: It can't be holding other teams back from being rewarded.

378
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: Agree.

379
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: Oh, as give us some Kaitlyn Clark stats.

380
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 3: Well, look, I've watched more WNBA in the last week

381
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: than I have been probably the last two years. So

382
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: I am one of those people that it's on board.

383
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: I've always loved basketball, but the Kaitlin Clark effects, whilst

384
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: she hasn't had the best first three games, I mean,

385
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 3: she's playing in the big leagues now, but the effect

386
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: is still a thing. According to ESPN, her regular season

387
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: debut with the Indiana Fever against the Connectut sign Board

388
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 3: in two point one million viewers. It made it the

389
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: most watched WNB a game on ESPN platforms ever, it said.

390
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: ESPN said at the game peaked at two point three

391
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: million viewers between seven to forty five EM and seven

392
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: or eight Eastern Time.

393
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Huge, huge numbers, and it's been really interesting just to

394
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: wrap this one up a lot of people. There's a

395
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: lot of videos being reshared of Kaitlyn Clark getting whacked

396
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: in the screen or getting shut down offensively, or having

397
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: x amount of turnovers per game. It's so interesting because

398
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: there's so many people who are now watching it who

399
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: think that women's basketball has rapidly improved, and it just hasn't.

400
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: There's exceptional players in the WNBA, lots of people just

401
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: haven't been watching them. So Kaitlyn Clark is playing with

402
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: some of the best players in the world, so it

403
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: makes sense that she's not killing it right now.

404
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: I would say, the best players in the world, and

405
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: you know, people are dragging it down because that's what

406
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: we love to do.

407
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: But across her first three.

408
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: Games, her stats are better than any other rookie ever

409
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: except for Candice Parker.

410
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 4: So she's doing okay.

411
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: CP three, She's doing all right. Yeah, let's take a look.

412
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: I what to watch.
