Oh you can play in 31 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: a mask, and he went, well, I'm playing at the March. 32 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: So I interviewed him and then he called me back 33 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: and put it to where and then he called me 34 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: back half an hour later and said I got a 35 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: plane a mask. And then I was like, that's pretty funny. 36 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: And then and then he rang me back again and says, 37 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: now I can't play. So it was and there was 38 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: a lot of players that traveled down from Darwin to play. 39 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 4: I couldn't actually play. 40 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: He couldn't play. 41 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 4: It's a real shame. 42 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, But hopefully nurln T will be back on this weekend. 43 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: They've skipped, they're going to skip the last round the 44 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: sort of the final ladder positions sort of already sorted, 45 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: so they're just going to rip straight into the final. 46 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: So hopefully we'll have nrln T on this weekend and 47 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: we'll have a look at that on the weekend. 48 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get it over then with. 49 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 4: I think you know, it goes without saying. 50 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: We love our sports and we want to make sure 51 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: that everybody's able to sort of you know, to get 52 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: back into them. It seems odd when you've got half 53 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: the sports playing half of them don't then you know, 54 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: even at swimming the other day, at swimming trying with 55 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to wear your mask when 56 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: you're sitting on the side, but then if you go 57 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: for a walk around the center, you've got to have 58 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: your mask on. Some of it just seems a little 59 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: bit odd, and I think that all of us just 60 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: want to make sure that we can get back to 61 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: normality given the fact that there's no COVID in the community. 62 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: No, that's right, and it's it's and it's it's bad 63 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: for like, you know, industries such as gyms and stuff. 64 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: I mean, there's like you know, on the weekend, you 65 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: just got to go around and you say, everyone's there's 66 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: a million people everywhere, but you can't go to the gym. 67 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: But anyway, hopefully the gyms will be back open. 68 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: Today and those contact sports back into it. 69 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, really getting up close and personal and a bit 70 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: of sweat and saliva bouncing around. 71 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 4: When you think about it like that, Oh God, I 72 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: think who's been sacked? 73 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: Is it? 74 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: I've been sacked as the cart and coach, which we 75 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: all knew was coming. But the way it Carlton have 76 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: handled it has been really pretty one double five poor. I 77 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: think they they sort of essentially they said, oh, we're 78 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: still doing the review. This was earlier in the week 79 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: and in that time approach ellis to Clarkson, who's just 80 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 2: wrapped up at Hawthorne, and he's essentially said, the way 81 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: you guys are operating, I don't want to go anywhere 82 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: near you. And so therefore bang next day, David Tagg's 83 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: been sacked, which like it was always going to happen. 84 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: And I feel really bad for David teg because he's 85 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: actually a really good coach and he's had two years. 86 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: He served two years out of a three year contract. 87 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: But in those two years, like he's had an average list. 88 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: He's been playing. You know, they can't have been playing 89 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: during COVID, which all teams have. But he's a new 90 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: fresh coach, like give him a crack. 91 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: Oh it makes it hard, And I think that's the 92 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: it's always a difficult thing, you know, like it's always 93 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: a difficult thing, I think when you talk about coaches 94 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: at that elite level, because it is really it's so 95 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: much easier to sack at coach then to remove half 96 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: the team, isn't it. It simply cannot do that. 97 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: That's right. 98 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: And it comes down to, and the whispers are around 99 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: the industry is that the Carlton like footy department stink 100 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: like you know, let's that's the foot and the board 101 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: like you know what. They've been making these decisions for years. 102 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: And you look at David Tagg's record, and they compared 103 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: David teague records and coaches like Naming Hardwick who has 104 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: been obviously a successful coach at Richmond Alistair Clarkson when 105 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: they were under fifty games. David Tig's actually got a 106 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 2: better record than dem and I think so he sort 107 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: of unfair. 108 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty bad, as you know, I don't know 109 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: a huge amount about the coaching stuff for the various 110 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: AFL teams, but Max my producers chimed in and said 111 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: that they should have notified Teague earlier. And what it 112 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: comes down to, I think treating people respectfully no matter 113 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: what code you're talking about. 114 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: He's been treated really poorly. 115 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: And Cartoner are laughing stuff now, which I love because 116 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: we hate Carlton. 117 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: Katie, well, I don't know if I do. 118 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the different teams to know 119 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: who I do, even who I dined. 120 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: An AFL team. No, I don't really get on the 121 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: Bombers bandwagon. We're in the finals on Sunday year. 122 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: But whoever's winning on board, I'm not like that. I 123 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 4: usually like to cheer for the underdog. 124 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: We won't go very far. 125 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: Nah, that's all right, and we are the underdogs and 126 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: we play the docks. 127 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about the Strike League.
